PREFACE 

HIS edition of the Holy Scriptures is the product of a thorough analytical method of 
Bible study. It is so compiled and arranged that through it- simplicity, accuracy and 
utility, it embraces that "Time and Labor Saving" idea which during the past century 
has revolutionized the material world. 



The triple column arrangement of the text and explanation, the double system of. foot n< 
printing out in full all references, provides the greatest possible conveniences of pr . in 

small compass, properly analyzed and grouped, all the subjects in the Bible relating to the text 
of any particular page. This plan makes it possible by the reading of a single page to obtain 
the gist of many volumes of standard authorities on Biblical interpretation and the complete 
Scriptural statement of the Bible relative to the text of that page. 

In order to obtain a one volume working Biblical library, in addition to the arra e 
mentioned above, there has been accomplished on each page the diacritical marking and accenting 
of all difficult words, the giving of the original English meaning of all obscure words havi 
undergone a change of meaning ; a short running commentary : a brief summary of each chapter, 
setting forth the purpose and object of that chapter ; a descriptive ana! - each book : the 

chronological period of each chapter: biographical sketches of all important character- ate. 

authorship and occasion of writing of each Psalm, so far as known, with the especial virtue taught ; 
the printing in italics of all Old Testament prophecies pertaining to Christ and all v the 

Xew Testament spoken by Christ, thereby pointing cut all things relative to Him : the print 
out in full, as foot-notes, over 250.000 references, run especially for this work, thus giving 
complete Biblical treatment of every subject mentioned on that page of the text. When it is con- 
sidered that this is done on every page of the book and for every book, chapter and verse of the 
Scriptures, it will be readily seen that here in one volume is a whole library for the busy student. 

In the preparation of this work, the main class of readers kept in view- is that large any 
busy toilers whose time and strength are consumed with the affairs of life and who have little 
time and opportunity for exhaustive study of the Scriptures, but who have a thirst for more and 
better knowledge of the Word of God. This book does not purport to be a complete library 
the scholar who has ample time and facilities for original research, but it is the gist of a large 
library, much thought and study, so arranged and encompassed as to give any one, whether a 
scholar or not, a large and satisfactory know ledge of the Bible. 

In producing this work constant reference has been made to the standard authorities on the 
Scriptures, but especially to the following does the Editor desire to acknowdedge indebtedness, viz. :

it may arouse a greater interest in the Scriptures, encourage a more thorough study and lead to 
a deeper understanding of the Word of God. 



DIRECTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

"X "T TE would suggest as beneficial that before beginning the study of any part of the Bible 

\/\/ ^ le reader very carefully consider the note at the beginning of the book he is reading. 

V \ In it is given the particular function or purpose of that book, the author and date of 

writing, as far as known. The note will therefore give the reader a foreview of the 

character of the writings he is to study, thereby preparing him to receive and understand the 

peculiarities of language, illustrations and expressions so often misunderstood, and without a 

proper conception of which a clear understanding of the Scriptures is impossible. 

The superior figures in the text of the two outside columns of each page refer to the 
explanations and analyses in the middle column. In the effort to have all explanations and 
references which apply to the text of any page printed on the same page with the text, it some- 
times became necessary to extend the middle column, as foot-notes in four columns, just preced- 
ing the references, an illustration of which is found on page 2, v. 8 of chap. 2 ; there the 
superior figure 8 appears before the word "Eden" ; then in the lower half of the middle column 
below the caption "Chap. 2, B. C. 4004'' in black faced letters is found the corresponding 
superior figure 8, as the note which gives the description of the Garden of Eden. But the 
middle column not being long enough to accommodate the entire note on Eden, it is continued 
in the first of the four short columns immediately below the text. Then the superior figure 9 
before "tree" in v. 9, superior 10 before "tree of knowledge" in v. 9, superior 11 before "Havilah" 
in v. 11, and superior figure 12 before "dress" in v. 15, are all found in this first series of foot-notes 
and thereby on the same page with the text. 

At the top of each page and also at the beginning of the notes of each chapter in the middle 
column is given the date of the world's history of which that chapter treats. 

The superior letters before certain words in the text of the two outside columns of each 
page refer to the references in the foot-notes of that page which are printed in two columns. 
For example, before the expression "The beginning" in v. 1, chap. I of Genesis, will be found 
the superior letter "a" ; then at the beginning of the first column of foot-notes on the same page 
is found the superior "a" followed by the references conveying the same thought as that of the text. 

All prophecies of the Old Testament pertaining to Christ are printed in italics. " For 
example, v. 15. of chap. 3, on page 3, is printed in italics, and is the first recorded prophecy of 
the promised Messiah. 

All the words of Christ in the New Testament are printed in italics. For example, the 
italicized passage in v. 15, of chap. 3, page 791 of Matthew, points out the first (in order 
of record) words of Christ, viz. : "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all 
righteousness." 

INDEX 

In the Index, in the back of the book, not only are the word references given, but also all 
thoughts which can be treated as subjects or in topics. For example, if the reader desires to 
know the Bible teaching regarding affliction, he would turn to "Affliction" on page 5 of the 
Index, and there find the subject treated under the following heads: "Our duty toward the 
afflicted," "Afflicted Saints," "Affliction," "Consolation under affliction." "Prayer under afflic- 
tion," "Afflictions," "Afflictions made beneficial," "The afflictions of the wicked." Also each 
of these divisions has been subdivided into its special thoughts, until the complete Bible teach- 
ings on the subject of "Affliction" has been developed.

THE FIRST BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED 



GENESIS 



NOTE. — Genesis (jenesis). The meaning of the word Genesis is beginning. The oldest universal history possessed by the human race is found in the Book 

tf Genesis, chs. 1-11 : chs. 12-50 continue the records of ancient history, but rather in a special sense as particularly recording the history of Israel's ancestors 

t- d patriarchs. While recording the most ancient history of the world, the chief purpose of Genesis is to show how the theocratic government, subsequently 

i by Moses, was rendered possible and necessary. Therefore, the author begins with the primal unity of the human race and its original relation to God; 

unfolds the interruptions of that relation by sin which gradually wrought a division in the human race for want of the principles which originally dwelt 

i: : man in general, but which had been preserved among a small and separate race only — a race which gradually became more and more isolated from other peo- 

■ I fnr many generations enjoyed the special blessing and guidance of the Lord. 

Genesis, therefore, presents the Mosaical theocracy as a restoration of the original relation which God brought about by Jehovah himself through a long 
teries of manifestations of his power, justice and love. Genesis thus furnishes us with the primary view of the whole of theocracy, and may therefore be con- 
sidered as the hi-torical foundation without which the subsequent history of the covenant people would be incomplete and unintelligible. A special effort is 

by the author of Genesis to point out the gradual and progressive development of the divine relations. As a historical work', Genesis is a book consisting of 

mtrasting parts. 

The first part introduces us to the greatest problems of the human mind, such as the creation and fall of man; and the second. Into the quiet solitude of a 
small, defined circle of families. In the former, the most sublime and wonderful events are described with childlike simplicity; while in the latter, on the con- 
trary, the' most simple and common occurrences are interwoven with the sublimest thoughts and reflections, rendering the small family circle a whole world in 
history and its principal actors prototypes for a whole nation and for all time. The contents in general are strictly religious; not the least trace of mythology 
appears in it. It is true that the narrations are fraught with wonders — but primeval wonders. The marvelous deeds of God are the very subject of Genesis. 
None of these wonders, however, bears a fantastical impress. They are all penetrated by one common leading idea, and are all related to the counsel of God 
f.ir the salvation of men. This principle permeates the whole of Genesis, therefore the wonders therein related are as little to be ascribed to man as the plan of 
God for human salvation. 

There are many myths regarding the creation and fall of man. but they all bear the stamp of the nation from which they originated. Not so with the 
- leal delineation of the creation and fall of man recorded in Genesis. It is universal in its scope and treatment. 



CHAPTEE 1. 

1 The creation of heaven and earth, 3 of the 
light, 6 of the firmament, 9 of the earth sep- 
arated from the waters, 11 and made fruit- 
ful, 14 of the sun, moon, and stars, 20 of fish 
and fowl, 24 of beasts and cattle, 26 of man 
in the image of God. 29 Also the appoint- 
ment of food. 

1 In "the 'beginning 6 God ^created the heaven 
and the earth. 

2 And the earth was without 3 form, and 
4 void; and darkness was upon the face of the 
deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the 
face of the waters. 

3 And p God said, Let there be light : and 
there was light. 

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: 
and God divided the light from the darkness. 

5 And God called the light Day, and the 
darkness he called Night. And the evening 
and the morning were the first day. 

6 r And God said, Let there be a 5 nrmament 
in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the 
waters from the waters. 

7 And God made the firmament and divided 
the waters which were under the firmament 
from the waters which were above the firma- 
ment: and it was so. 

8 And God called the firmament "Heaven. 
And the evening and the morning were the 
second day. 

9 r And God said, ^Let the waters under the 
heaven be gathered together unto one place, 
and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and 
the gathering together of the waters called he 
Seas: and God saw that it was good. 

11 And God said, e Let the earth bring forth 
grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit 
tree yielding ffruit after his kind, whose seed 
is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 



Ch. 1. B. C. 1004. 

1. From the beginning, first in 
place, time, order or rank spec, a 
first fruit; hence at the commence- 
ment of that series of events with 
which the creation and history of the 
human race are associated. 

2. In the Hebrew scriptures, three 
verbs are used in different places to 
express the divine act of creation. 
viz., — bara, create; asah, make; and 
zatoar, form or fashion. While each 
has its shade of distinction, yet the 
best critics understand them as so 
nearly synonymous as to be inter- 
changeable. In v. 1, bara is used, 
meaning simply to create, without 
any implication positively or nega- 
tively as to the material used. 

3. To lie in waste; a desolation 
fig. ; a worthless thing, empty place. 
confusion, wilderness. 



4. To be empty, a vacuity, i. e., 
superficial and undistinguishable ruin, 
emptiness, void. 

5. To expand, to stretch and 
spread over as a thin sheet. The 
visible arch of the sky. The pure 
and transparent expanse which envel- 
opes the globe. The expanse appear- 
ing like an arch immediately above 
us in the heavens. 



G. To be lofty; the sky as aloft; 
alluding to the visible arch in which 
the clouds move as well as to the 
higher ether where the celestial bod- 
ies revolve. 



7. A luminous body or luminary: 
fig., brightness, cheerfulness, glorious. 



S. Sign as a flag: a beacon; a mon- 
ument; an evidence, i. e., in the 
sense of appearing and presenting. 



9. An appointment; a fixed time; 
appointed for regularity; set time of 
appearance; fixed and determined. 



12 And the earth brought forth grass, and 
herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree 
yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after 
his kind: and God saw that it was good. 

13 And the evening and the morning were 
the third day. 

14 If And God said, Let there ^be "lights in 
the firmament of the heaven to divide the day 
from the night; and let them be for s signs, 
and for "seasons, and* for days, and years: 

15 And let them be for lights in the firma- 
ment of the heaven to give light upon the 
earth: and it was so. 

16 And God made two great lights; the 
greater light to rule the day, and the lesser 
light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 

17 And God set them in the firmament of 
the heaven to give light upon the earth. 

18 And to rule over the day and over the 
night, and to divide the light from the dark- 
ness: and God saw that it was good. 

19 And the evening and the morning were 
the fourth day. 

20 And God said,' Let the waters bring forth 
abundantly the moving creature that hath life, 
and fowl that may fly above the earth in the 
open firmament of heaven. 

21 And God created great whales, and every 
living creature that moveth, which the waters 
brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and 
every winged fowl after his kind: and God 
saw that it was good. 

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruit- 
ful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the 
seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 

23 And the evening and the morning were 
the fifth day. 

24 If And God said, Let the earth bring 
forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, 
and creeping thing, and beast of the earth 
after his kind: and it was so. 

25 And God made the beast of the earth 



Ref. Genesis. Chapter 1. 

a. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and 
the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things 
were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was 
made. (Jno. 1:1-3.) 

And, thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the 
earth; and the heavens are the w 7 ork of thine hands. (Heb. 1:10.) 

b. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the 
hosts of them by the breath of his mouth. (Psalms 33:6.) 

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare 
if thou hast understanding. (Job 38:4.) 

I am the Lord that maketh all things: that stretcheth forth the 
heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself. (Isaiah 44:24.) 

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are 
in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, 
or principalities, or powers: All things were created by him, and for 
him; and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (Col. 
1:16, 17.) 

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the 
word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things 
which do appear. (Heb. 11:3.) 

Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were 
created. (Rev. 4:11.) He that planted the ear. shall he not hear? lie 
that'formed the eye, shall he not see? (Ps. 94:9.) Let us kneel before 
the Lord our maker. (Ps. 95:6.) The rich and the poor meet together; 
the Lord is the maker of them all. (Prov: 22:2.) Thou knowest not 



the works of God who maketh all. (Ecc. 11:5.) I have made the earth, 
and created man upon it (12). He created it not in vain, he formed it 
to be inhabited. (Isa. 45:12, 18.) Forgettest the Lord thy maker? (Isa. 
51:13.) Now, O Lord, thou art, our father; we are the clay, and thou 
our potter; and we all are the work of thv hand. (Isa. 64:8.) Have we not 
all one father? Hath not one God created us? (Mai. 2:10.) God that 
made the world and all things therein (24). He giveth to all life, and 
breath, and all things (25). And hath made of one blood all nations of 
men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the 
times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation (26). In him 
we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own 
poets have said, For "we are also his offspring. (Acts 17:24-28.) 

c. For he spake, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood 
fast. (Ps. 33:9.) 

d. He hath compassed the waters with bounds. (Job. 26:10.) 

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap; he layeth 
up the depth in storehouses. (Ps. 33:7.) 

e. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon 
it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, re- 
ceiveth blessing from God. (Heb. 6:7.) 

f. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men 
do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. (Luke 
6:44.) 

g. The sun and the moon and the stars, even all the hosts of 
heaven— which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the 
whole heaven. (Dt. 4:19.) Thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 
(Ps. 74:16.)

after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and 
every thing that creepeth upon the earth after 
his kind: and God saw that it was good. 

26 If And God said, ''Let us make man in our 
"'image, after our "likeness: and let them have 
'dominion over the fish of the sea, and over 
the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and 
over all the earth, and over every creeping 
thing that creepeth upon the earth. 

27 So God created man in his own ''image, in 
the image of God created he him; J'male and 
female created he them. 

28 And ' i 'God "blessed them, and God said 
unto them, Be 'fruitful, and multiply, and re- 
plenish the earth, and subdue it: and have 
'dominion over the fish of the sea, and over 
the fowl of the air, and over every living 
thing that moveth upon the earth. 

29 H And God said, Behold, I have given you 
every 13 herb bearing seed, which is upon the 
face of all the earth, and every tree, in the 
which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to 
you it shall be for "meat. 

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to 
every fowl of the air, and to every thing that 
creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, 
I have given every green herb for meat: and 
it was so. 

31 And God saw every thing that he had 
made, and, behold, it waff very good. And the 
evening and the morning were the sixth day. 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 The first sabbath. 4 The manner of the crea- 
tion. 8 The planting of the garden of Eden, 
10 and the river thereof. 17 The tree of 
knowledge only forbidden. 19, 20 The nam- 
ing of the creatures. 21 The making of 
woman, and institution of marriage. 

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were fin- 
ished, and all the host of them. 

2 And a on the seventh day God ended his 
work which he had made; and he rested on the 
seventh day from all his work which he had 
made. 

3 And God 6 blessed the seventh day, and 
'sanctified it: because that in it he had rested 



10. From an unused root meaning 
to shade; figurative resemblance, to 
make like an image. Man resembles 
God in the spiritual and immortal na- 
ture of his soul and -in his dominion 
over the creatures. 

11. Resemblance, likeness, like as, 
like manner. 

12. A primitive root, to knee] by 
lmpl. to bless, as an act of ado 

To congratulate, to salute. A token 
of good will, conferring of favors 
and advantages containing the prom- 
ise cf pleasure and happiness. 

13. Meaning to glisten, to be as a 
tender shoot of grass. 

14. Because _of here mentioning 
the herbs and nowhere mentioning the 
flesh of animals as food, it is sup- 
posed by most authorities that pre- 
vious to the flood, man's food was re- 
stricted to substances In the vege- 
table kingdom. 

Ch. 2. B.C. 4004. 

1. To make, pronounce, 1 r observe 
as clean, to appoint or dedicate as 
ceremonially pure. 

2. The descent or family, the his- 
tory of birth or nativity here used to 
mean history or origin of.

rounded by. 

4. To mold, or put into shape, as a

it r si-m: ling Gcd The operation or

S. The region of Adam's original 
home, meaning pleasant, delightful. 
Its location has never been fixed, 
ever, two of its ri n rs ha re been 
identified. The Euphrates, and the 
Hiddekel or Tigris; the others are 
disputed. The best authorities agree 
that "the garden of Eden eastward" 
is in the valley of the Euphrates, but 
its definite location after the fall of 
our first parents has not been agreed 
upon, the Bible seeming purposely to 
withdraw the lost Paradise from our 
view and to direct our hopes to a 
more glorious Paradise of the future 
with its river of life and tri 
life. (Rev. 22:1-5) — "And he showed 
me a pure river of water of life, 
clear as crystal, proceeding out of 
the throne cf God and of the Lamb. 



from all his work which God created and made 

4 II These are the 'generations of the heav- 
ens and of the earth when they were created, 
in the day that the Lord God made the earth 
and the heavens, 

5 And c every plant of the field before it 
was in the earth, and every herb of the field 
before it grew: for the Lord God had not 
caused it to rain upon the earth, and there 
was not a man to till the ground. 

6 But *there went up a B mist from the earth, 
and watered the whole face of the ground. 

7 And the Lord God 'formed man of the 
: dust of the ground, and "breathed into his 
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a 
living 7 soul. 

8 *~ And the Lord God planted a garden 
eastward in "E'den; and there he put the man 
whom he had formed. 

9 And out of the ground made the Lord God 
to grow every tree that is ^pleasant to the 
sight, and good for food; 'the "tree of life also 
in the midst of the garden, and the "tree of 
knowledge of good and evil. 

10 And a river went out of E'den to water 
the garden; and from thence it was parted, 
and became into four heads. 

11 The name of the first is Pi'son: that is 
it which compasseth the whole land of "Hav'i- 
lah, where there is gold; 

12 And the gold of that land is good: there 
is bdellium and the onyx stone. 

13 And the name of the second river is Gi- 
hon: the same is it that compasseth the whole 
land of E-thi-o'pi-a. 

14 And the name of the third river is Hid'- 
dekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of 
As-syrl-a. And the fourth river is Eu-phra'- 
te§. 

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put 
him into the garden of E'den to "dress it and 
to keep it. 

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, 
saying, Of every tree of the garden thou may- 
est freely eat: 

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good, 
and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the 



"In the midst of the street of it, 
and on either side of the river, was 
there the tree of life, which bare 
twelve manner of fruits, and yielded 
her fruit every mouth; and the 
leaves of the tree were for the heal- 
ing of the nations. 

"And there shall be no more curse; 
but the throne of God and of the) 
Lamb shall be in it; and his servant 
shall serve him. 

"And they shall see his face; and 
his name snail be in their foreheads. 

"And there shall he no night 
there; and they need no candle, 



neither light of the sun; for the Lord 
God giveth them light; and they shall 
reign for. ever and ever." 

9. The majority of authorities 
agree that the tree of life implies 
a single tree designed for special 
purposes, containing efficacious me- 
dicinal properties, in its fruit, leaves, 
and other parts. As a sign aud seal 
of the divine promise of eternal life. 

10. The earliest Hebrew idea of 
the tree of knowledge is of a tree 
having poisonous, stimulating and in- 
toxicating properties, such as are 
found in some hot climates of the 



h. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made 
he him. (Gen. 5:1.) It is he that hath made us and not we ourselves; 
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. (Ps. 100:3.) Lo, this only 
have I found that God hath made man upright. (Ecc. 7:29.) Therewith 
bless we God, even the father;' and therewith curse we men, which are 
made after the similitude of God. (Ja. 3:9.) For a man indeed ought 
not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God, 
but the woman is the glory of the man. (I Cor. 11:7.) Whoso sheddeth 
man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God 
made he man. (Gen. 9:6.) 

i. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst 
him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy 
hand. (Heb. 2:7.) Thou madest him to have dominion over the works 
of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet. (Ps. 3:6.) 

j. And he answered and said unto them. Have ye not read, that he 
which made them at the beginning made them male and female? (Math. 
13:4.) 

k. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the 
womb is his reward. (Ps. 127:3.) 

1. For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and 
multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. (Lev. 26 :S.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. For he spake in a certain place of the 7th day on this wise, And 
God did rest the 7th day from all his works. (Heb. 4:4.) For in 6 days 
the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and 
rested the 7th day; wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hal- 
lowed it. (Ex. 20:11.) Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep ihe 
sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a per- 
petual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel 
for ever: for in 6 days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the 7th 
day he rested, and was refreshed. (Ex. 31:16, 17.) Ye shall keep my 



present time. On this ground the 
command not to eat or even touch the 
tree was a beneficent warning against 
the dangers of pain or perhaps death. 
The special object of placing the tree 
in the garden seems to have been to 
test the obedience of Adam and Eve. 
They were placed in the midst of a 
paradise of delights and had no rea- 
son to suppose that any good would 
come to them from seizing upon 
things prohibited. If doubt in this 
matter arose in their mind, they al- 
ready had access to God. But they 
were not equal to the test, they al- 



lowed the thought of disobedience to 
form itself into a disposition, then 
culminate i::to a purpose. 

11. A district in Arabia, a land 
rich in gold, bdellium and shoam. 

12. Adam was put into the Gar- 
den of Eden, a region containing the 
richest productions of the Creator's 
bounty for the delight of the eye and 
the other senses. He was assigned 
to the agreeable labor "to dress and 
to keep it." implying some knowledge 
of the culture and training of flow- 
er- and fruits and their vari"iis uses 
aud enjoyments. 



sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am the Lord. (Lev. 19:30.) 
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am the Lord. 
(Lev. 26:2.) 

b. And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, 
Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord; bake that 
which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe: and that which 
remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. (Ex. 1 2 
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God 
did rest the seventh day from all his works. (Heb. 4:4.) 

c. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the 
service of man; that he may bring forth food out of the earth. (Ps. 
104:14.) 

d. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it; thou greatly enrichest it 
with the river of God, which is full of water; thou preparest them corn, 
when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges thereof 
abundantly; thou settlest the furrows thereof; thou makest it soft with 
showers; thou biessest the springing thereof. Thou crownest the year 
with thy goodness: and thy paths drop fatness. (Ps. 65:9-11.) 

e. The cedars in the garden of God could not tide him; the fir 
trees were not like his bows, and the chestnut trees were not like his 
branches nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his 
beauty. (Ezek. 31:8.) 

f. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to 
know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also 
of the tree of life, and eat. and live for ever. (Gen. 3:22.) In the m>'dst 
of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree 
of life, which bare 12 manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit everv 
month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations (2) 
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have rigbt 
to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

die. 

18 H And the Lord God said, It is not good 
that the man should be alone; I will make him 
an help meet for him. 

19 And out of the ground the Lord God 
formed every beast of the field, and every fowl 
of the air; and ^brought them unto 13 Ad'am to 
see what he would call them : and whatsoever 
Ad'am called every living creature, that was 
the name thereof. 

20 And Ad'am gave names to all cattle, and 
to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of 
the field; but for Ad'am there was not found 
an help meet for him. 

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to 
fall upon Ad'am, and he slept: and he took 
one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead 
thereof; 

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had 
taken from man, made he a "woman, and 
''brought her unto the man. 

23 And Ad'am said, This is now bone *of my 
bones, and flesh of my flesh : she shall be called 
Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 

24 Therefore •'shall a man leave his father 
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: 
and they shall be one flesh. 

25 And they were both naked, the man and 
his wife, and were not ashamed. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 The serpent deceiveth Eve. 6 Man's shame- 
ful fall. '9 God arraigneth them. 14 The 
serpent is cursed. 15 The promised seed. 
16 The punishment of mankind. 21 Their 
first clothing. 22 Their casting out of para- 
dise. 

1 Now the 'serpent was more 2 subfil °than 
any beast of the field which the Lord God had 
made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, 
hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree 
of the garden? 

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We 
may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden : 

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the 
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall 
not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye 
die.

shall not surely die: 



13. Meaning ruddy or reddish, the 
name of the first man. Adam lived 
930 years. He must have been created 
in maturity, from the duties and ob- 
ligations put upon him immediately 
after creation. Else he could not 
have preserved his earthly existence, 
neither have paid the homage of 
knowledge and love, adoration and 
obedience to his Creator. Again we 
read in I Tim. 2-14, that he rushed 
headlong and knowingly to ruin when 
the idea was suggested by Eve. "And 
Adam was nut deceived, but the wom- 
an being deceived was in transgres- 
sion." It was the preference of a 
trifling gratification to the doing of 
the will of the Lord. His act of dis- 
obedience was marked with extreme 
ingratitude and involved a contemptu- 
ous disregard of consequences. God, 
assuming a human form, adapting 
all his proceedings to the, capacity of 
Adam and Eve, drew from them the 
confession of their guilt and imme- 
diately pronounced upon them their 
sentence. Ou the woman he inflicted 
pains of child-bearing and a deeper 
and more humiliating dependence up- 
on her husband; he doomed the man 
to hard and often fruitless toil in- 
stead of easy and pleasant labor; and 
decreed the awful sentence of death 
upon all posterity. 

14. Meaning a woman, also life- 
giver. The name of Eve was given 
by Adam to the first woman. 

Ch. 3. B. C. 4004. 

1. The instrument of the tempta- 
tion of Adam and Eve. Whether the 
serpent was a member of any of the 
existing species or not is impossible 
for us to know. Many authorities 
hold to the view which Is held "by 
both Jews and Christians, that the 
serpent was one of the fallen spirits. 
II Cor. 2:11. Lest Satan should get 
an advantage of ns, for we are not 
ignorant of his devices. 

2. Subtile, or crafty, or wily. 

3. To lead astray, to delude, to 
seduce or deceive. 

4. Serpents do not feed upon the 
dust but are perhaps as free from it 
in their food as any animal of the 
field. All serpents are carnivorous. 
This would imply a figurative expres- 
sion applying to something else other 
than a member of the existing ser- 
pent family. 

5. Enmity, hostility, hatred, to be 
hostile toward each other, irrecon- 
cilable. 

6. Posterity. 

7. To overwhelm, to break, to 
bruise, to crush, to destroy. 

8. A pang, whether body or mind. 



5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat 
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye 
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 

6 And when the woman saw that the tree 
was good for food, and that it was pleasant to 
the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one 
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, 
and gave also unto her husband with her; 
& and he did eat. 

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, 
and they knew that they were naked; and they 
sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves 
aprons. 

8 And they heard the voice °of the Lord 
God walking in the garden in the cool of the 
day: and Ad'am and his wife d hid themselves 
from the presence of the Lord God amongst 
the trees of the garden. 

9 And the Lord God called unto Ad'am, and 
said unto him, Where art thou? 

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the 
garden, and "I was afraid, because I was 
naked; and I hid myself. 

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou 
wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, 
whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest 
not eat? 

12 And the man said, fThe woman whom 
thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the 
tree, and I did eat. 

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, 
What is this that thou hast done? And the 
woman said, The serpent 'beguiled me, and I 
did eat. 

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, 
Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed 
above all cattle, and above every beast of the 
field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust 
shalt thou 4 eat all the days of thy life: 

15 And I will put ^enmity between thee and 
the woman, and between thy "seed and her 
seed; it s shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt 
''bruise his heel. 

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly 
multiply thy "sorrow and thy conception; in 
sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and 
thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he 
shall rule over thee. 

17 And unto Ad'am he said, Because thou 
hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and 
hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded 



g. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; 
thou hast put all things under his feet. (Ps. 8:6.) 

h. Whoso findeth a wife flndeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor 
of the Lord. (Prov. 18:22.) Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed 
undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

i. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and his bones. 
(Eph. 5:30.) 

j. Hearken, O daughter, and consider and incline thine ear, forget 
also thine own people, and thy father's house. (Ps. 45:10.) For this 
cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; 
and they twain shall be one flesh. (Math. 19:5.) 

Ref. Gen., ch 3. 

a. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye 
therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Mat. 10:16.) And 
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and 
Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, 
and his angels were cast out with him (Rev. 12:9.) 

b. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death 
by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (12). 
Even so by the righteousness of cne the free gift came upon all men unto 
justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made 
sinners; so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 
(Rom. 5:12, 18, 19.) 

c. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind. (Job 38:1.) 
And the sound of the cherubim's wings was heard even to the outer 
court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. (Ez. 10:5.) 
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thundereth: 
the Lord is upon many waters. (Ps. 29:3.) Father, glorify thy name. 
Then came there a voice from heaven saying, I have both glorified it, and 
will glorify it again. The people therefore that stood by and heard it, 
said that it thundered; others said, An angel spake to him. Jesus an- 
swered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 
(Jno. 12:28-30.) And when forty years were expired, there appeared to 
him in the wilderness of Mt. Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame 
of fire in a bush. When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight; and 
as he drew near to behold it the voice of the Lord came unto him. 
(Acts 7:30, 31.) And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying unto 
him. Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou 
Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest; it is hard 
for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished 
said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto 



him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou 
must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, 
hearing a voice, but seeing no man. (Acts 9:4-7.) And I said, Who art 
thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, 
and stand upon thy feet; for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, 
to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which 
thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto 
thee. (Acts 26:15, 16.) 

d. Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? 
saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. (Jer. 
23:24.) And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will 
search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight 
in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he 
shall bite them. (Amos 9:3.) O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known 
me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou under- 
standest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying 
down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word 
in my tongue, but lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast 
beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowl- 
edge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy 
presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my 
bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, 
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand 
lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness 
shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. (Ps. 139:1-11.) 

e. Therefore am I troubled at his presence; when I consider, I 
am afraid of him. (Job 23:15.) For if our heart condemn us, God is 
greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. (I Jno. 3:20.) 

f. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth 
and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Prov. 28:13.) 

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God 
cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man, but every 
man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 
(Ja. 1:13, 14.) 

g. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. 
(Rom. 16:20.) Forasmuch as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, 
he also himself likewise took part of the same: that through death he 
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the Devil. (Heb. 
2:14.) For this purpose the Son of God is manifested, that he might 
destroy the works of the Devil. (I Jno. 3:8.)

bolical of ruling power. Cherub is 
first used in Gen. 3:24. and b 
elsewhere, a symbol of the divine 
presence; many authorities agreeing 
that the cherubim were here placed 
at the east of the garden in a local 
tabernacle, signifying the presence of 
the Lord at the entrance guarding the 
tree of life, preventing m. 
trance thereto. In all probability 
the cherubim remained here until the

been nothing to guard the m.- 

tree of life.

wrapping, enchantment. 

Ch. 4. B. C. 4003-3875. 

1. The name of the first child 
born upon earth. Because of the fall 
of man it was now necessary to make 
two offerings to Jehovah — one an ob- 
lation, the other a sacrifice. Cain 
brought only the oblation or the gift 
typifying sovereignty of God. neglect- 
ing to bring the offering of sacrifice 
which would have beer. 

of fallen nature and an atonement for 
sin. God's righteous indignation 
against sin had been clearly made 
known to Adam and his offspring. 
Cnin"s refusal, therefore, to bring the 
offering of sacrifice was a virtual de- 
nial of God's right to condemn sin 
and at the same time a rejection of 
the proffered means of grace. Conse- 
quently. God refused to accept the 
one offering brought by Cain and met- 
ed out punishment to him. 

2. T ■ f Adam and 
Eve. The name signifying weakness, 
banishment, grief, or lamentations. 
which indicated Abel's weakness 
poverty compared with the supposed 
glory of his brother's destiny. In the 
offering Abel made to the L^rd. he 
observed both the offering of oblation 
and sacrifice as he had been instruct- 
ed by his father. Adam, to do. His 
offerings were accepted as he bad. in 
a humble spirit, met all the require-

ture and accepted the means of for- 
giveness. Such was the distinguish-

and thou shalt rule over him. 

8 And Cain talked with A'bel his brother: 
and it came to pass, when they were in the 
field, that Cain rose up against A'bel his 
brother, and c slew him. 

9 *"And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is 
A'bel thy brother? And he said, I know not: 
Am I my brother's keeper? 

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the 
voice of thy brother's blood 3 crieth unto me 
from the ground. 

11 And now d art thou 'cursed from the 
earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive 
thy brother's blood from thy hand; 

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not 
henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a 
fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the 
earth. 

13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punish- 
ment is greater than I can bear. 

14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day 
from the face of the earth; and from thy face 
shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive "and a 
vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to 
pass, that every one that findeth me shall 

slay me. 

15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore 
whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be 
taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord 
mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should 
kill him. 

16 \ And Cain went out from the presence 
'of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of 

on the east of E den. 

IT And Cain knew his wife; and she con- 
ceived, and bare Enoch; and he builded a city. 
and f cafled the name of the city, after the 
name of his son, Enoch. 

18 And unto Enoch was born I'rad: and 
I'rad begat Me-hu'ja-el : and Me-hii'ja-el begat

father of such as dwell in tents, and of such 
as have cattle.

T. Lamech. son of Methuselah and 
father of Jabal. He took unto him- 
self two wives. Adah and Zillah. 
Thus Lamech is recorded as being the 
author of the evil practice of polyg- 
amy. In vs. 23. 24 is recorded the 
poetical address which Lamech, made 



to his wives. This is th- first and 
most ancient piece of poetry in the 
Hebrew Scripture and the only ex- 
ample of antediluvial poetry extant: 
"Adah and Zillah. hear my voice. 
Wives of Lamech. receive my speech. 
For I slew a man to my wounding. 
And a young man to my hurt: 
If Cain was avensed seven times. 



Then Lamech seventv times seven."

8. A descendant of Cain, a son of 
Lamech and Adah. Jabal is the first 
man who adopted the nomadic life, 
which is still followed by numerous 
tribes in Asia: for that reason be is 
called "the father of such that dwell 
in tents and have cattle." 



9. Descendant of Cain, son of La- 

:.d Adah. He is reported as 
the inventor of the harp and organ.

h. Who maketh his angels spirits: and his ministers a flame of fire. 
(Ps. 104:4.) And of the angels he saith. Who maketh his angels spirits, 
and his ministers the flaming fire. (Heb. 1:7.) 

i. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; 
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (Jno. 14:6.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the 
matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the 
males shall be the Lord's. (Ex. 13:12.) Honor the Lord with thy sub- 
stance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) 

b. Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that 
was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes: and 
there arose up lire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the 
unleavened cakes. (Jd. 6:21.) By faith Abel offered unto God a more 
excellent sacrifice than Cain, by "which he obtained witness that he was 
righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and bv it he, being dead, yet 
speaketh. (Heb. 11:4.) 

c. Xot as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. 
And wherefore slew he him? because his own works were evil and his 
brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 
We know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the 
brethren. He that loreth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever 
hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath 
eternal life abiding in him. (I Jno. 3:12-15.) 

d. If thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to 
observe to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I command 



thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and over- 
take thee; cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be 
in the field. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall 
be the fruit of thy body, the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine. 
and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest 
in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goesc out. (Dt. 2> ~- ursed 

be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people 
shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that remcveth his neighbor's landmark. 
And all the people shall say. Amen. Cursed be he that maketh the 
blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say. Amen. 
Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless 
and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 2. :lo-l9.1 Cursed 
be he that smiteth his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say. 
Amen. Cursed be he that taketh reward to - rrson. 

And all the people shall say. Amen. Cursed be he that confirmeth not 
all the words of this law to do them. And all the neople shall say. 
Amen. (Dt. 27:24-26.) 

e. For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem 
and Judah. until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah 
rebelled against the king of Babylon, (n Kings 24:20.1 Therefore, behold 
I, even I, will utterly forget you. and I will forsake you, and the 
that I save vou and vour fathers, and cast you out of mv presence.

after their own names. (Ps. 49:11.)

years, and begat a son in his own likeness,

gotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he 
begat sons and daughters:

cide, killing a man who had violently 
assaulted him. In the struggle La- 
mech was wounded. He seeks to 
calm his wives by the assurance that 
he was not exposed to any danger

tifiable homicide would be punished 
seventy times seven. (Gen. 4:24.) 

12. Seven used in the scriptures 
signifies wholeness or completeness. 

13. The third son of Adam and 
Eve to whom Eve gave the name Seth, 
in consequence of regarding him as 
given to her by the Lord to replace 
Abel, whom Cain had slain. He died 
at the age of 912. , 

14. Then began to call upon the

of public worship. 

Ch. 5. B. C. 4004. 

1. The record of the life and de- 
scendants of Adam and all the pa- 
triarchs to Noah. 

2. Decaying, mortal, the son of 
Seth and father of Cainan. He died 
:it the age of 905. Sometimes spelled 
Enoch. 

3. Son of Jared and father of Me- 
thuselah. He is described as walking 
with God, which implies the closest 
fellowship and relations with Jehovah, 
tnac it is possible for human beings 
to enjoy on earth. As a reward for 
his exceptional sanctity, he was taken 
to heaven without the experience of 
death. Elijah was likewise translated 
to heaven without experiencing death 
and thus was the doctrine of immor- 
tality taught under the ancient dis- 
pensation. 

4. Son of Enoch. He lived to be 
the oldest man in the world. He died 
at the age of 969. His grandfather, 
Jared, was the second oldest man. 
He lived 962 years. 

5. Rest, comfort, joy. Noah was 
the grandson of Methuselah and the 
tenth in descent from Adam. La- 
mech, father of Noah, must not be 
confounded with Lamech. who was 
the fourth in descent from Cain. 
Noah was named by his father, who 
immediately exclaimed when he first 
saw his son. "This shall comfort us 
from our labor and from the sorrow- 
ful toils of our hands, from the 
ground which Jehovah hath cursed." 
This allusion by Lamech, regarding 
his son. as a deliverer, was based on 
the promise made to Eve. Noah was 
an exceedingly righteous man. (Gen. 
6:8, 9.) Noah found favor in the eyes 
of the Lord; Noah was a just man 
and perfect in his generations, and 
Noah walked with God. These words 
indicate his righteousness and that he 
maintained constant communion with 
the Father. For 150 years Noah 
preached to the people, endeavoring 
to persuade them to change their 
manner of living, but his labors were 
without avail and all human kind per- 
ished in the waters, except Noah, his 
three sons, and his four wives. Un- 
der the instructions of God, Noah

of the ark. 

1 And it came to pass, when men began to 
multiply on the face of the earth, and daugh- 
ters were born unto them, 



builded the ark. Noah lived 950 
years. 

6. Signifying honor, authority and 
character. One of the three sons of 
Noah, from whom descended the na- 
tions, enumerated in the tenth ch. of 



Gen. Shem is the progenitor of the 
Semitic race. 

7. Signifying swarthy. The young- 
est son of Noah. Ham. having pro- 
voked his father's wrath by an act 
of indecency toward him (of not only 



beholding the nude form of his father 
while asleep, but going and telling 
his brothers about it), his father 
cursed him and his descendants to be 
slaves to his brothers and their de- 
scendants forever. 



8. One of the sons of Noah, born 
about 100 years before the Flood. He 
is the progenitor of the peoples of 
western Europe and northern Asia — 
the Armenians, Medes, Greeks, Thrae- 
ians. Turks and Barbarians. 



g. "'Or, call themselves by the name of the Lord." The sons of 
God saw the daughters of men that they were fair. (Gen. 6:2.) I will 
offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name 
of the Lord. (Ps. 116:17.) And it shall come to pass that whosoever 
shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered; for in Mount Zion 
and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the 
remnant whom the Lord shall call. (Joel 2:32.) But as many as received 
him. to them gave he power, to become the sons of God, even to them 
that believe on his name. (Jno. 1:12.) Unto the church of God which 
is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be 
saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ 
our Lord, both theirs and ours. (I Cor. 1:2.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; 
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of 
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creep- 
ing thing that creepeth upon the earth (26). So God created man in 
his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female 
created he them. (Gen. 1:26, 27.) And that ye put on the new man, 
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Eph. 
4:24.) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge 
after the image of him that created him. (Col. 3:10.) 

b. And when Abram was 90 years old and nine, the Lord appeared 
to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God: walk before me, 
and be thou perfect. (Gen. 17:1.) I have set the Lord always before 
me, because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (Ps. 16:8.) I 
will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. (Ps. 116:9.) He 
hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and What doth the Lord re- 
quire of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly 



with thy God? (Mic. 6:8.) That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath 
called you unto his kingdom and glory. (I Thes. 2:120 Not after the 
flesh, but after the Spirit — Therefore now no condemnation to them which 
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. 
(Rom. 8:1.) Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the 
flesh. (Gal. 5:16.) By faith— For we walk by faith, not by sight. 
(II Cor. 5:7.) In the light— But if we walk in the light as he is in the 
light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus 
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (I Jno. 1:7.) 

c. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, be- 
hold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted 
them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 
(II Ks. 2:11.) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see 
death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before 
his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Heb. 11:5.) 

d. And unto Adam he said. Because thou hast hearkened unto the 
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded 
thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy 
sake: in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. (Gen. 3:17.) 
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth 
to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. (Gen. 4:11.) If thou wilt 
not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all 
his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that 
all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee; cursed shalt 
thou be in the city, and cursed shall thou be in the field. Cursed shall 
be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and 
the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy 
sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou 
be when thou goest out. (Dt. 28:15-19.)

1. "The sous of God" are g 
ly accepted by the best authorities 
as the descendants of Seth. who had 
been loyal adherents to the worship 
and service of the true God up to this 
time. •"The daughters of men' - be- 
longed to the race "f the ungodly 
Cain. The marriage of I 
Seth to the daughters of Cain must j 
have been prohibited, as the result of 
such marriage was the univer- 
pravity of the family of Setb. Such 
a severe punishment would hardly 
have been put upon them exci | 

tion of the will of Jehovah, 
intermingling of the godly wit: 
ungodly was the step downward of I 
• as as the <tarti: - 
universal corruption of mankind, 
which ended in the deluge an<: 
destruction of the whole human kind, 
the eight members of Noah's 
! family. 

2. To contend with, or plead the 
cause of. 

3. The first mention of giants in ] 
the scriptures. The Gr. word used 
here meant, a bully, a tyrant, to fall. 
In the early history of men of all 
nations we find reference n. 
men of unusual height, sometimes of 
a purely human origin, but m 
quently supposed to have taken of the 
supernatural and divine — as in the 
reference. "'T I ;od came in 
unto the daughters of men. and they 
bare children to them, the same be- 
came mighty men whloh were of old." 



9 r These are the generations of Noah: 
Xo'ah was a just man and perfect in his gen- 
erations, and Xo'ah walked with God. 

10 And Xo'ah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, 
and Ja'pheth. 

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, 
and the earth was filled with violence. 

12 And God looked 'upon the earth, and, 
behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had cor- 
rupted his way upon the earth. 

13 And God said unto Xo'ah, The end of 
all flesh is come before me; for the earth is 
filled with 'violence through them; and, behold, 
I will destroy them with the earth. 

14 ""Make thee an ark of gopher wood; 
rooms shalt thou make in the :i ark, and shalt 
pitch it within and without with pitch. 

15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt 
make it of: The length of the ark shall be 
three hundred "cubits, the breadth of it fifty 
cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 

16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, 
and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above: and 
the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side 
thereof; with lower, second, and third stoi 
shalt thou make it. 

17 And, behold, I, even I. do bring a flood 



-4. To sigh, by implication to be 
sorry, to pity lin unfavorable man- 
ner 1. to avenge one's self. ' "Ven- 
geance is mine, saith the Lord." 

0. To worry, be sorry or vexed; 
pain or anger. 

6. To be gracious toward, to have 
pity or mercy upon, to favor with 
kindness and mercy. 

7. To be conversant with, to fol- 
low, to go along with, as Noah went 
the ways of God. and was conversant 
with him. 

S. Ruined, cast off. decayed. 

9. All the world was now corrupt. 
The hitherto godly sons of Seth. "the 
sons of God." had intermarried with 
the ungodly descendants of Cain, "the 
daughters of men." and God said, "all 
flesh had corrupted his way upon the 
earth." This corruption seems to 
have been one of the prime causes of 
the Flood, for if the family of Seth 
had remained pure and obedient to 
God. he would doubtless have spared 



the world for their sake, as be W..11M 
have spared Sodom and Gomorrah, 
had ten righteous been found there. 
He would have spared the Jews, his 
own people, had they not corrupted 
themselves by intermarriages with 
the heathen. 

10. Wrong doing, unjust gain, 
falseness, violent doings, oppr • g 
and robbing of others, and forcible 
harassing. 

11. There are two Gr. words used 
in the scriptures to designate ark. 
"taybaw" in Gen. 6:14. a boat, ves- 
sel, the ark of Noah, and Ex. 2:3. the 
ark where Moses was hid. the only 
ether place where this word is used; 
"aron" meaning chest or coffer, as 
the ark of the covenant. According 
to Gen. 6:14-16. the ark was a build- 
ing in the form of a parallelogram. 

ssarily in the form of a wave 
cutting vessel, but simply a vessel 
that would ride the waves. It was 
300 cubits long. 50 cubits broad. 30 



cubits high. It was thre. 
high with a door in the side and win- 
f. where Noah was 
commanded to make them of a cubit 
in size. That the win'": 

i instead of the sides or ends 
would appear from Gen. S:13. "And it 
came to pass in the 601st year. In 
St month, the first day of the 
month, the waters were dried up frm 
off the earth, and Noah rem 1 
covering of the ark and looked and 
behold the face of the ground was

a. I will receive you, and will be a father unto you, and ye shall 
be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (II Cor. 6:17-1S.) 
I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. (Jer. 31:9.) He 
that overeometh shall inherit all things; and. I will be his God and 
he shall be my son. (Rev. 21:7.) 

b. Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou 
shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto 
thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me. that 
they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled 
against you. and destroy thee suddenly. (Dt. 7:3, 4.) 

c. By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison: 
which some time were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God 
waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a-preparing, wherein few, 
that is, 8 souls were saved by water. (I Peter 3:19, 20.) And when he 
was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, If thou 
hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which be- 
long unto thv peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes. (Lu. 19: 
41, 42.) 

d. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge. 
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are 
not convenient: being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wick- 
edness, covetousness. maliciousness: full of envy, murder, debate, de- 
ceit, malignity, whispers. (Rom. 1:28, 29.) 

e. And the Lord smelled a sweet savor: and the Lord said in his 
heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake: for 
the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I 
again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. (Gen. 8:21.) 
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running 
to mischief. (Prov. 6:18.) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 
murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 
1 Mat. 15:19.) This is an evil among all things that are done under the 
sun, that there is one event unto all: yea. also the heart of the sons of 
men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and 
after that they go to the dead. (Ecc. 9:3.) Because sentence against an 
evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men 
is fully set in them to do evil. (Ecc. 8:11.) 

f. And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unlo 
his people. (Ex. 32:14.) For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent 
himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone and 
there is none shut up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) And God sent an angel unto 
Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, 
and he repented him of evil, and said to the angel that destroyed. It is 
enough, stay now thine hand. (I Chr. 21:15.) If that nation, against 
whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil 
that I thought to do unto them. (Jer. 1S:S.) And rend your heart, and 
not vour garments, and turn unto the Lord your God; for he is gracious 
and "merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him 



of the evil. (Joel 2:13.) And God saw their works, that they turn 
their evil ways: and God repented of the evil that he had said that he 
would do unto them: and he did it not. (Jonah 3:10.) 

g. And they put away the strange gods from among them, and 
served the Lord; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel 
(Judg. 10:16.) In all their afflictions he was afflicted, and the angel of 
his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them: 
and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. (Isa. 63:9. 1 
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said. It 
people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my - 
(Ps. 95:10.) Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They 
do alwav err in their heart; and thev have not known mv wavs. (Heb. 
3:10.) 

h. Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou 
hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving 
my life. (Gen. 19:19.) And the angel said unto her. Fear not. Mary, 
for thou hast found favor with God. (Lu. 1:30.) And the Lord said. If 
I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the 
place for their sakes. (Gen. 18:26.) The Lord spake unto Moses face 
to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend (11). Thou hast found 
grace in my sight and I know thee by name (17). While my glory 
passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee 
with my hand while I pass by (22). And I will take away mine hand, 
and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen 2 
1 Ex. 33:11 17, 22, 23.) For what nation is there so great, who hath Gcci 
so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call 
upon him for? (Dt. 4:7.1 As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: 
I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.1 Have not I com- 
manded thee? Be strong and of a good courage: be not afraid, neither 
be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever 
thou goest. (Josh. 1:9.) Thou hast granted me life and favor, and thy 
visitation hath preserved my spirit. (Job. 10:12.) For thou. Lord, wilt 
bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield. 
(Ps. 5:12.) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart. (4). He shall 
receive the blessing from the Lord. (5>. iPs. 24:4. 5.) Neither did 
their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm. and the 
light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them. (Ps. 
44:3.) The Lord hath been mindful of us. he will bless us: he will 
bless the house of Israel: he will bless the house of Aaron: he will bless 
them that fear the Lord, both small and great. (Ps. 115:12. 13.) So 
shalt thou find favoF and good understanding in the sight of God and 
man. (Prov. 3:4.) A good man obtaineth favor of the Lord. (Prov. 
12:2.) When a man's ways pleased the Lord, he maketh even his 
enemies to be at peace with him. (Prov. 16:7.) Behold, I stand at the 
door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door. I will 
come in to him, and will sup with him, and him with me. (Rev. S3 

i. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men. to 
see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. iPs. 14:2.1

of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, 
wherein is the breath of life, from under 
heaven; and every thing that is in the earth 
shall die. 

18 But with thee will I establish my 13 cov- 
>nant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, 
and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' 
wives with thee. 

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, 
two of every sort shalt thou bring into the 
ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall 
be male and female. 

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle 
after their kind, of every creeping thing of 
the earth after his kind, two of every sort 
shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 

21 And take thou unto thee of all food that 
is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and 
it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 

22 A Thus did No'ah; according to all that 
God commanded him, so did he. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Xoah, with his family, and the living crea- 
tures enter into the ark. 17 The beginning, 
increase, and conti)inance of the flood. 

1 And the a Lord said unto No'ah, Come 
thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee 
have I seen righteous ^before me in this gen- 
eration. 

2 Of every 'clean beast thou shalt take to 
thee by "sevens, the male and his female: and 
of beasts that are not clean by two, the male 
and his female. 

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the 
male and the female; to keep seed alive upon 
the face of all the earth. 

4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to 
rain upon the earth forty days and forty 
nights; and every living substance that I have 
made will I destroy from off the face of the 
earth. 

5 And No'ah did according unto all that 
the Lord commanded 'him. 

6 And N5'ah was six hundred years old 
when the 3 flood of waters was upon the earth. 

7 r And No'ah went in, and his sons, and 
his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into 
the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are 
not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing 
that creepeth upon the earth. 

9 They went in two and two unto NS'ah 
into the ark, the male and the female, as God 
had commanded No'ah. 

10 And it came to pass after seven days, 
that the waters of the flood were upon the 
earth. 



l". A compact, a league. God's 
oath or promise in bis dealings with 
men. In this sense the greatest be- 
stowal of blessings upon Noah. The 
original word takes its name directly 
from cutting, as a sacrifice was al- 
ways passed between the parties. 
Which was to show that without an 
atonement or sacrifice there could be 
no communication of blessings from 
God to man. 

Ch. 7. B. C. 2348. 

•1. To be pure, sound, uneontami- 
nated, morally Innocent or holy, clean. 

2. The sacred or full number. Per- 
fect or complete. The Hebrew, when 
used as an adverb, seven times seven. 

3. The wickedness of man had be- 
come so great in the sight of the 
Lord, that all human kind must be 
destroyed., save Noah and his right- 
eous family. The history of the flood 
or manner of this destruction is re- 
corued in Gen., chs. 7, 8. The flood 
began in the 600th year, the second 
mouth, the seventeenth day of the 
month of Noah's life. (Gen. 7:11.) 
The rain fell incessantly for 40 days 
and nights. (7:4.) "For yet seven 
davs, and I will cause it to rain upon 
the earth forty days and forty 
nights.'' The waters continued to in- 
crease for 150 days (Gen. 7:24) till 
they stood 15 cubits (or 26% ft.) 
high. The floods fell in the natural 
way. i. e., as rain. "The windows of 
heaven opened and the rain was upon 
the earth." Its abatement was also 
iu the normal manner. (Gen. 8:1.) 
"And God made a wind to pass over 
the earth and the waters assuaged." 
The waters of the flood were com- 
pletely removed from off the face of 
the earth. (Gen. 8:13)— "And it 
came to pass in the 6ulst year, in 
the first month, the first day of tlie 
month, the waters were dried up from 
off the earth: and Xoah removed the 
covering of the ark, and looked and 
behold, the face of the ground was 
drv." Therefore the flood was on 
the earth 10 months and 14 days. 
There are two opinions held as to 
the extent of the flood, viz.: First, 
that the waters covered the entire 
surface of the earth; second, that 
only the portion of the earth which 
was inhabited by mankind, was cov- 
ered by the flood. Those w-ho hold 
the second opinion present this argu- 
ment: that the ark was not large 
enough to hold all the animals, birds 
and "insects, with food to last them 
10% months, as of the existing mam- 
malia there are over 1.000 known spe- 
cies, of birds over 5.000, of reptiles 
2,000, of insects over 100,000; that 
a building 525xS7iix52% ft. could 
not accommodate such an enormous 
array of animals, birds, reptiles and 
insects, and food to supply them, and 
that, if the floods covered the portion 
of the earth's surface inhabited by 
man. the purpose of the flood would 
be accomplished and the Scriptural 
truth established just the same as if 
the entire surface had been covered. 



11 f In the six hundredth year of No'ah's 
life, in the second month, the seventeenth day 
of the month, the same day were all the foun- 
tains of the great deep broken up, and the 
windows of heaven were opened. 

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty 
days and forty nights. 

13 In the selfsame day entered N5'ah, and 
Shem, and Ham, and Ja'pheth, the sons of 
No'ah, and No'ah's wife, and the three wives 
of his sons with them, into the ark; 

14 They, and every beast after his kind, 
and all the cattle after their kind, and every 
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth 
after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, 
every bird of every sort. 

15 And they went in unto No'ah into the 
ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the 
breath of life. 

16 And they that went in, went in male 
and female of all flesh, as God had commanded 
him: and the Lord e shut him in. 

17 And the flood was forty days upon the 
earth; and the waters increased, and bare up 
the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 

18 And the waters prevailed, and were in- 
creased greatly upon the earth; and the ark 
went upon the face of the waters. 

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly 
upon the earth; and all the high hills, that 
were under the whole heaven, were covered. 

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters 
prevail; and the mountains were covered. 

21 And d all flesh died that moved upon the 
earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, 
and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon 
the earth, and every man: 

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of 
life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 

23 And every living substance was destroyed 
which was upon the face of the ground, both 
man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and 
the fowl of the heaven; and they were de : 
stroyed from the earth: and e No'ah only re- 
mained alive, and they that were with him in 
the ark. 

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth 
an hundred and fifty days. 

CHAPTER 8. 

1 The waters asswage. 4 The ark resteth on 
Ararat. 1 The raven and the dove. 15 Noah, 
being commanded, 18 goeth forth of the ark. 
20 He buildeth an altar, and offereth sacri- 
fice, 21 which God accepteth, and promiseth 
to curse the earth no more. 
1 And a God remembered No'ah, and every 

living thing, and all the cattle that was with 



of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. 
(Ez. 7:2.) Eut the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, 
and watch unto prayer. (I Peter 4:7.) 

k. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, 
moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he 
condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by 
faith. (Heb. 11:7.) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith 
of Jesus Christ unto all and upon ail them that believe; for there is no 
difference. (Rom. 3:22.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. He that dwelleth in the secret places of the Most High shall 
abide under the shadow pf the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is 
my refuge and my fortress, my God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:1, 2.) 
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and 
glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 
(Ps. 84:11.) 

b. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon 
them that hope in his mercy; to deliver their soul from death. (Ps. 
33:18, 19.) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of tempta- 
tions, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. 
(II Peter 2:9.) For his eves are upon the ways of man, and he see'li 
all his goings. (Job 34:21.) Great in counsel, and mighty in work; 
for thine eyes are upon all the ways of the sons of men; to give every 
one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his domgs. 
(Jer. 32T9.) For the -eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the 
whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart 
is perfect toward him. (II Chr. 16:9.) For he looketh to the ends of 
the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven. (Job 28:24.) The Lord 
looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were 
any that did understand, and seek God. (Ps. 14:2.) The eyes of the 
Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Prov. 15:3. i 

c. The Lord preserveth all them that love him; but all the wicked 



will he destroy. (Ps. 145:20.) Who are kept by the power of God through 
faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (I Peter 1:5.) 

d. Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was over- 
flown with a flood. (Job 22:16.) And knew not till the flood came, 
and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man 
be. (Mat. 24:39.) They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they 
were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered the ark, and 
the flood came, and destroyed them all. (Lu. 17:27.) Whereby the world 
that then was, being overflowed with, water, perished. (II Pet. 3:6.) 

e. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Ex. 
14:14.) And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that dav 
when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his 
own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between 
the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him 
that serveth him not. (Mai. 3:17, 18.) By faith Noah, being warned of 
God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the 
saving of his house; by the which he condemned the w-orld, and became 
heir of the righteousness which is by faith. (Heb. 11:7.) And he spared 
not the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth person, a preacher of 
righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly. 
(II Peter 2:5.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, 
that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the 
overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. (Gen. 19:29 ) 
And God heard their groaning, " and God remembered his covenant with 
Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. (Ex. 2:24.) And they rose up 
in the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, 
and came to their house to Raman; and Elkanah knew his wife; and 
the Lord remembered her. - (I Sam. 1:19.) For he remembered his holy 
promise, and Abraham his servant. (Ps. .105:42.) Who remembered us 
in our low estate; for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:23.)

him in the ark: 7j and God made a wind to pass 
over the earth, and the waters asswaged; 

2 The fountains also of the deep and the 
windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain 
from heaven was restrained; 

3 And the waters returned from off the 
earth continually: and after the end of "the 
hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, 
on the seventeenth day of the month, upon 
the mountains of *Ar'a-rat. 

5 And the waters decreased continually until 
the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the 
first day of the month, were the tops of the 
mountains seen. 

6 * And it came to pass at the end of forty 
days, that No'ah opened the window of the 
ark which he had made: 

7 And he sent forth a raven, which went 
forth to and fro, until the waters were dried 
up from off the earth. 

8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to 
see if the waters were abated from off the 
face of the ground; 

9 But the dove found no rest for the sole 
of her foot, and she returned unto him into 
the ark, for the waters were on the face of 
the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, 
and took her, and pulled her in unto him into 
the ark. 

10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and 
again he sent forth the do% r e out of the ark; 

11 And the dove came in to him in the even- 
ing; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf 
pluckt off: so No'ah knew that the waters 
were abated from off the earth. 

12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and 
sent forth .the dove; which returned not again 
unto him any more. 

13 *~ And it came to pass in the six hun- 
dredth and first year, in the first month, the 
first day of the month, the waters were dried 
up from off the earth : and No'ah removed the 
covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, 
the face of the ground was dry. 

14 And in the second month, on the seven 
and twentieth day of the month, was the earth 
dried.

1. Ararat, meaning Armenia. The 
name appears nowhere in tl, 

. elsewhere as the name of any 
mountain, but only as the name of a 
country, upon the mountain of which 
the ark rested during the subsidence 
of the flood. 

2. The first altar we read of in 
the Bible was that erected i 

on leaving the ark. According to le- 
gend, it was partly made from the 
remains of one built by Adam on his 
expulsion from Paradise, and after- 
wards used by Cain and Abel on the 
identical sp./t where Abraham pre- 
pared to offer up Isaac. Mention is 
made of iltars made by Abraham

mmanded to make an altar of

use stones, but no ir<m tool was to 
be applied to them. This has gener- 
ally been supposed to be an interdic- 
tion of Scripture to guard against a 

D of the second commandment.

16 Go ' J forth of the ark, thou, and 
and thy sons, and thy sons' wive 

17 Bring forth with thee every living thing 
that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, 
and of cattle, and of every creeping thing 
that creepeth upon the earth; that they may 
breed, abundantly in the earth, and be 'fruit- 
ful, and multiply upon the earth. 

18 And No'ah went forth, and his sons, r.nd 
his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 

19 Every beast, every creeping thing. i\nd 
every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upo 
earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the 
ark. 

20 r And No'ah builded an 'altar unto tka 
Lord; and toot: of every clean least, and of 
every clean fowl, and offered burnt 'offerings 
on the altar.

"curse the ground any more for man's sake; 
for the ^imagination of man's hea:

b. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and 
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. (Ex. 14:21.1 Thou 
coveredst it with the deep as with a garment; the water stood above the 
mountains. At thy rebuke they fled: at the voice of thy thunder they 
hasted away. (Ps. 104:6, 7.) Thou didst blow thy wind, the sea covered 
them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters. (Ex. 15:10.) 

e. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an 150 days. (Gen. 7:24.) 

d. The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in, from 
this time forth, and even for evermore. (Ps. 121:8.) 

e. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill 
the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. (Gen. 1:22.) 

:. But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water; and the 
priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering 
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. (Lev. 1:9.) I will 
accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the 
people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been 
scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. (Ezek. 
20:41.) And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given 
himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling 
savour. (Eph. 5:2.) 

g. For this is as the waters of Xoah unto me: for as- 1 have sworn 
that the waters of Xoah should no more go over the earth; so have I 
sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. (Isa. 54:9.1 

h. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, 
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil 
continually. (Gen. 6:5.) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity: and in 
sin did my mother conceive me. (Ps. 51:5.) The heart is deceitful above 
all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jer. 17:9.) Be- 



cause that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God. neither 
were thankful: but because vain in their imaginations, and their foolish 
heart was darkened. (Rom. 1:21.) For all have sinned, and come short 
of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:23.) But the scripture hath concluded all 
under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to 
them that believe. (Gal. 3:22.) And they rejected his statutes, and his 
covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which ne 
testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and 
went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom 
the Lord had charsed them that thev should not do like them. (II Ks.

should not more go over the earth: so have I sworn that I would 
be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. (Isa. 54:9.) And the bow sball

4 But flesh with ^the life thereof, which is 
the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I 
require; at the hand of d every beast will I re- 
quire it, and at the hand of f man; at the hand 
of every man's 'brother will I require the life 
of man. 

6 Whoso -"sheddeth man's blood, by man 
shall his blood be shed: for in the ''image of 
God made he man. 

7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; 
bring forth abundantly in the earth, and mul- 
tiply therein. 

8 *~ And God spake unto No'ah, and to his 
sons with him, saying, 

9 And I, behold, I establish my Covenant 
with you, and with your seed after you; 

10 And with 'every living creature that is 
with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of 
every beast of the earth with you; from all 
that go out of the ark, to every beast of the 
earth. 

11 And I will establish my covenant with 
you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more 
by the waters of a flood; neither shall there 
any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 

12 And God said, This is the token of the 
covenant which I make between me and you 
and every living creature that is with you, for 
perpetual generations : 

13 I do set my 3 bow in the cloud, and it 
shall be for a token of a covenant between 
me and the earth. 

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring 
a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be 
seen in the cloud: 

15 And I will remember my covenant, which 
is between me and you and every living crea- 
ture of all flesh; ■'and the waters shall no 
more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and 
I will look upon it, that I may remember the 
everlasting covenant between God and every 
living creature of all flesh that is upon the 
earth. 

17 And God said unto No'ah, This is the 
token of the covenant, which I have established 
between me and all flesh that is upon the 
earth. 

18 If And the sons of No'ah, that went forth 
of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and 
Ja'pheth : and Ham is the father of 4 Ca'naan. 

19 These are the three sons of No'ah: and 
of them was the whole earth overspread. 

20 And No'ah began to be an husbandman, 
and he planted a vineyard. 

21 And he drank of the wine, and 7i 'was 



2. Jehovah's oath or promise to 
mankind, bestowed as a gracious 
blessing, communicating certain un- 
merited favors to man. Here used 
as a promise to man that the world 
should never be destroyed again for 
his sake. 

3. A seven colored semi-circle pro- 
duced by the reflection of the sun's 
rays from The drops of falling water. 
It was used as the token or seal of 
the covenant God made with Noah 
that the waters should no more be- 
come a flood to destroy all flesh. 
God consecrated the rainbow as the 
sign of his love and the witness of 
his promise. "As surely as that bow 
is the result of established laws, 
which must continue as long as the 
sun and atmosphere endure, so sure- 
ly shail the world be preserved from 
destruction by a deluge." Thus the 
rainbow became the symbol of God's 
faithfulness and of his beneficence, 
mercy and love toward man. 

4. Son of Ham and grandson of 
Noah. It is supposed that Canaan 
had in some way been a party to the 
insult Ham had shown his father 
Noah, recorded in Gen. 9:22-27. and 
for that reason he and his descend- 
ants were cursed to slavery by Noah. 
There is no just ground for the con- 
elusion that the descendants of Ca- 
naan were cursed as an immediate 
consequence of the transgression of 
Ham. 

5. To imprecate, to call for mis- 
chief upon, to call for the visitation 
of punishment upon one. These early 
Scriptural curses were either ordained 
by God himself and pronounced by 
men under the influence of the Spirit 
or they were predictions ef certain 
evil which would happen to certain 
individuals or to a people, uttered in 
the form of imprecations. They were 
not the effects of passion, impatience, 
or revenge, and were not, therefore, 
condemned by God in his law. The 
divine maledictions are not merely 
imprecations, nor are they impotent 
wishes — they carry their effects with 
them, and are attended with all mis- 
eries they pronounce or foretell. 

6. Persuade or cause to do. 
Ch. 10. B. C. 2348-2218. 

1. The people of the far western 
islands and Europe. 

2. The eldest son of Ham, father 
of Nimrod. the mighty hunter, the 
progenitor of the Cushitos, who in- 
habited the land of Cush. commonly 
rendered Ethiopia, the country of the 
blacks. - 

3. Sheba. the son of Raamah. 
About 2500 B. C. he founded the king- 
dom of Sheba. The descendants of 
Sheba were known as the Sabeans, 
to whom the Jews were to sell the 
captives of Tyre. 

4. Nimrod, the mighty hunter, his 
name signifying "Impious rebel." He 
was a man of great bodily strength, 
and eminent for courage and skill In 
the arts of capturing and killing dan- 
gerous animals. He thus made him- 



drunken; and he was uncovered within his 
tent. 

22 And Ham, the father of Ca'naan, saw 
the nakedness of his father, and told his two 
brethren without. 

23 And 'Shem and Ja'pheth took a gar- 
ment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, 
and went backward, and covered the naked- 
ness of their father; and their faces were 
backward, and they saw not their father's 
nakedness. 

24 And N5'ah awoke from his wine, and 
knew what his younger son had done unto 
him. 

25 And he said, 5 Cursed "'be Ca'naan; a 
servant of servants shall he be unto his 
brethren. 

26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God 
of Shem; and Ca'naan shall be his servant. 

27 And God shall "enlarge Ja'pheth, and 
he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Ca'- 
naan shall be his servant. 

28 11 And No'ah lived after the flood three 
hundred and fifty years. 

29 And all the days of No'ah were nine 
hundred and fifty years: and he died.

self the favorite of bold and venture-

him. From his strength and fame 
thus gained, he took encouragement 
to break the patriarchal union of ven- 



erable and peaceful subordination and 
to set himself up as a military chief- 
tain, assailing and subduing men, 
training his adherents into formid- 
able troops, by their aid subduing the 



inhabitants of Shinar and its neigh- 
boring villages. In order to maintain 
the supremacy he was rapidly gain- 
ing, he employed his men in building 
forts, towns and cities. The principal

as Babel.

c. Only be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life; 
and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. (Dt. 12:23.) But that 
we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from 
fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. (Acts 15:20.) 

d. If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die; then the ox 
shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner 
of the ox shall be quit. (Ex. 21:28.) 

e. Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, 
which is guilty of death; but he shall be surely put to death. (Num. 
35:31.) 

f. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on 
all the face of the earth, and hath determined the time before appointed, 
and the bounds of their habitation. (Acts 17:26.) 

g. He that smiteth a man so that he die, shall be surely put to 
death (12). But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay 
him with guile; thou shalt take him from my altar; that he may die. 
(Ex. 21:12, 14.) He that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. 
(Lev. 24:17.) Then Jesus said unto him, Put up again thy sword into 
its place: for all thev that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 
(Math. 26:52.) He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; 
he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. (Rev. 
13:10.) Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and deal- 
est treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when 
thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt 
make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with 
thee. (Isa. 33:1.) And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so 



that he die, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death 
(16). And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, 
and he die, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to 
death (17). Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, where- 
with he may die, and he die, he is a murderer; the murderer shall 
surely be put to death (18). The revenger of blood himself shall slay 
the murderer; when he meeteth him, he shall slay him (19). But if he 
thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die 
(20); Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die, he that smote 
him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer; the revenger 
of blood shall slay the murderer when he meeteth him (21). (Num. 
35:16-21.) At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he 
that is worthy of death be put to death: but at the mouth of one witness 
he shall not be put to death. (Dt. 17:6.) 

h. So God created man in his own image, ii the image of God 
created he him; male and female created he them. (Gen. 1:27.) For a 
man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image 
and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. (I Cor. 11:7. j 

i. The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his 
works. (Ps. 145:9.) 

j. For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more 
go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, 
nor rebuke thee. (Isa. 54:9.) 

k. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is de- 
ceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20:1.)

said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him. Lift up thine 
eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and south- 
ward, and eastward, and westward (14). For all the land which thou 
seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed fcr ever (15). Arise, walk 
through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it; for I will 
give it unto thee (17). (Gen. 13:12, 14. 15, 17. 1 In the same day the

26 And Te'rah lived seventy years, and be- 
gat A'bram, Na'hor, and Ha'ran. 

27 If Now these are the generations of Te'- 
rah: Te'rah begat A'bram, Na'hor, and 
Ha ran; and Ha'ran begat Lot. 

28 And Ha'ran died before his father Te'- 
rah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the 
Chal'dees. 

29 And A'bram and Na'hor took them 
wives: the name of A'bram's wife was 
'Sa'rai; and the name of Na'hor's wife, Mil'- 
cah, the daughter of Ha'ran, the father of 
Mil'cah, and the father of Is'cah. 

30 But Sa'rai was barren; she had no child. 

31 And Te rah took A'bram his son, and 
Lot the son of Ha'ran his son's son, and 
Sa'rai his daughter in law, his son A'bram's 
wife; and they d went forth with them from 
3 Ur of the Chal'dee§, to go into the land of 
Canaan; and they came unto Ha'ran, and 
dwelt there.

dred and five years; and Te'rah died in Ha'-

CHAPTER 12. 

1 God calleth Abram, and blesseth him with 
a promise of Christ. 4 He departeth with 
Lot from Haran. 6 He journeyeth through 
Canaan, 7 which is promised him in a vi- 

■ sion. 10 He is driven by a famine into 
Egypt. 11 Fear maketh him feign his wife 
to be his sister. 14 Pharaoh is compelled to 
restore her. 
1 Now the Lord had 'said unto A'bram, 

Get thee out of thy country, and from thy 



did there confound the language of 
all the earth; and from thence did 
the Lord scatter them abroad upon 
the face of all the earth." The sim- 
ple desire upon the part of the inhab- 
itants to build a temple to perpetuate 
their identity would not of itself have 
received the displeasure of Jehovah, 
but in its very inception there seemed 
to be in the hearts of its founders 
the spirit of turning against God, and 
later the tower was dedicated to false 
worship and became a temple of the 
sun. The appearance of the tower is 
very impressive, rising suddenly as 
it does, out of a wide desert plain 
slightly rising to a hill. The entire 
surface of the hill and the tower pre- 
sent a hardened and vitrified appear- 
ance which has been a great mystery 
to all students. Some, however, go 
so far as to say that the heavenly fire 
which struck the tower, split it to its 
very foundation and gave it the burn- 
ed and vitrified appearance which it 
possesses. One argument used in fa- 
vor of this belief is that the tower 
must have been originally at least 200 
ft. high, and to have built a furnace 
to envelop it and to have covered 
the crest of the hill would have been 
like covering a solid mass in size 
equal to the whole of the dome of St. 
Paul's cathedral with one huge fur- 
nace and subjecting it to artificial 
heat for the purpose of vitrifying it. 
Many of the stones or boulders, used 
in the foundation are 10 and 15 ft. 
square and the vitrification was so 
complete that the boulders or stones 
were burned throughout. The base 
of the tower at the present time is 
20S2 ft. in circumference. 

4. See 3 above. 

5. See 3 above. 

6. Son of Nahor and father of 
Abraham, who with his family quit- 
ted Or to go to the land which God 
should show him. He stopped for a 
time at Haran in Mesopotamia and 
there died at the age of 205 years. 

7. Abram. Heb. meaning high fa- 
ther or father of elevation. This was 



kindred, and from thy father's house, unto 
a land that I will shew thee: 

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, 
and I will 2 bless thee, and make thy name 
great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 

3 And I will 3 bless a them that bless thee, 
and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee 
shall all families of the earth be blessed. 

4 So A'bram departed, as the Lord had 
spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and 
A'bram was seventy and five years old when 
he departed out of Ha'ran. 

5 And A'bram took Sa'rai his wife, and 
4 L6t his brother's son, and all their sub- 
stance that they had gathered, and the r 'souls 
that they had gotten in Ha'ran ; and they went 
forth to go 6 into the land of Ca'naan; and 
into the land of Ca'naan they came. 

6 If And A'bram passed through the land 
unto the place of Si'chem, unto the plain of 
Mo'reh. And the Ca'naan-ite was then in the 
land. 

7 And the Lord "appeared c unto A'bram, 
and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: 
and there builded he an 7 altar unto the Lord, 
who appeared unto him. 

8 And he removed from thence unto a 
mountain on the east of s Beth'-el, and pitched 
his tent, having Beth'-el on the west, and 9 Ha'I 
on the east: and there he builded an "altar 
unto the Lord, and called upon the name of 
the Lord. 

9 And A'bram journeyed, going on still 
toward the south. 

10 IT And there was a "famine in the land: 
and A'bram went down into E'gypt to sojourn 
there; for the famine was grievous in the 
land. 



his original name, but was afterward 
extended to Abraham by Jehovah at 
the time of the making of the cove- 
nants, meaning father of a multitude, 
sig. of the promise made to him at 
this time of a numerous posterity. 
(Gen. 17:1-6.) A. was a native of 
Chaldea and descended through He- 
ber in the ninth generation from 
Shem. the son of Noah. His father 
was Terah. 

8. The wife of Abraham, 10 years 
his junior, was married to him in Ur. 
She was also his half-sister, being 
the daughter of his father, but not 
his mother. Her name was original- 
ly spelled Sarai. meaning princely or 
contentious. She is represented as a 
woman of great beauty and on enter- 
ing Egypt, Abraham, fearing that her 
beauty would attract the Egyptians 
and lead to his murder, represented 
that she was his sister. (Gen. 12: 
11-14.) 

9. Abraham was 60 years old when 
the family left their native jcity of 
Cr and went and abode in Haran 15 
years. (Gen. 11:31, 32 and Gen. 12: 
4.) While here at H. Jehovah ap- 
peared to A., and said to him. "De- 
part from thy land arid from thy kin- 
dred and come hither to a land that 
I will show thee." Whereupon A. 
went at once and dwelt in Canaan. 
(Gen. 12:5.) 

Ch. 12. B. C. 1921. 

1. Abraham was now 75 years of 
age and received a second and more 
definite call to pursue his journey. 
This call, recorded in v. 1. bears m 
marked difference to the first call. 
In the first, the land is indefinite; in 
the second, definite, intimating a per- 
manent abode. A. was also command- 



ed to leave his father's house, i. e., 
separate from his family, which 
would indicate that the divine call 
was personal to himself. 

2. To bestow bountifully upon, 
temporally and spiritually, many good 
things. 

3. The promise to Abraham was: 
1st. temporal, the blessing of poster- 
ity, that he should be the founder of 
a great nation; 2nd. spiritual, that 
he should be the chosen ancestor of 
the Redeemer. The implied condition 
on his part was that he should pub- 
licly profess the worship of the true 
God in this more tolerant land. 

4. Lot was the. son of Haran and 
nephew of Abraham, who by the early 
death of his father had already come 
into the possession of his property, 
when A. went into the land of Ca- 
naan. Later, their possessions be- 
coming so great, they were obliged 
to separate their flocks. A. generous- 
ly conceding to Lot the choice of the 
pasture land. Lot selected the fer- 
tile and well-watered pastures near 
Sodom. It proved, however, to be a 
very unwise selection, as the wicked- 
ness of the Sodomites was starving 
his own soul. (II Pet. 7:8) — "And 
delivered just Lot. vexed with the 
filthy conversation of the wicked, for 
that righteous man dwelling among 
them, in seeing and.hearing, vexed his 
righteous soul from day to day. with 
their unlawful deeds." About eight 
years after separating from A. Lot 
was taken prisoner by Cbedorlaomer, 
but was subsequently brought hack 
by A. At length the sin of the cities 
of the plains became so great that 
the avenging angel came to Lot and 
apprised him of the doom which hung 



over the city and urged him to leave 
with his family, while allowed to ex- 
tend the benefit to the families of his 
daughters, who had married in S. 
They refused to go and subsequently 
Lot left S. accompanied only by his 
wife and two daughters. Lot and 
these daughters then hastened to 
Zoar, the smallest of the five cities of 
the plains, which had been spared on 
purpose to afford Lot a refuge, but 
Lot being fearful to remain so close 
to a peopie so corrupt, he retired to a 
cavern in the neighboring mountain 
and there made his abode for awhile. 
After some stay in this place his 
daughters became apprehensive lest 
the family of their father should be- 
come lost for want of descendants 
and therefore made their father 
drunk on wine and went in unto him 
and seduced him to an act which they 
well knew would be extremely abhor- 
rent to him if sober; they thus be- 
came the mothers and he the father 
of two sons, named Moab and Am- 
nion, from whom sprang the Moabites 
and Ammonites. This circumstance 
is the last which the scriptures re- 
cord of the history of Lot. The time 
and place of his death are unknown. 

5. Those who had joined their 
faith. 

6. Have experience with, conscious 
of spirits' communication. 

7. The first altar built by Abra- 
ham. 

8. An ancient town 12 Roman 
miles north of Jerusalem, the name 
Bethel signifying House of God. Ja- 
cob rested here one night on his way 
to Padan Aram and commemorated 
the vision with which he was favored 
by pouring oil on the stone which 



served him for his pillow and gave 
to the place the name of Bethel, 
meaning place of God, superseding 
the ancient name of Luz, by which 
the place had been known so long. 
B. had been a holy place or sanctuary 
for many years. It was supposed to 
be a haunt of angels, a place where 
a ladder was always suspended be- 
tween earth and heaven, and when J. 
stayed there over night he saw the 
ladder. It was not so much that Je- 
hovah found J. and gave him the vis- 
ion of the angels descending "and as- 
cending the ladder as that J. was un- 
consciously guided to the place where 
he found Jehovah. 

Bethel now became a favorite sta- 
tion with J. Here he built an altar/ 
buried Deborah, received the name of 
Israel for the second time, and prom- 
ises of a blessing. At that time it 
was only a designated location, but 
later became the royal city of the 
Canaanites. At this place already 
consecrated in the time of the pa- 
triarchs, the ark of the covenant was 
for a long while deposited. It was 
also one of the places at which Sam- 
uel held in rotation his court of jus- 
tice. 

9. A city of the Canaanites east 
of Bethel. Abraham pitched his tent 
between it and B. 

10. The second altar built by 
Abraham. 

11. Famine. 

12. There are some nine different 
meanings given to the word plague 
in the Bible, but in this verse the 
word used is neh-gah. meaning 
strokes, i. e.. judgments or calamities 
which God inflicts upon man for spe- 
cial misdemeanors. 



d. Thou art the Lord the God who didst choose Abram, and brought- 
est him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of 
Abraham. (Neh. 9:7.) By faith Abraham, when he was called to go 
out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; 
and he went out, not knowing whither he went. (Heb. 11:8.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly: and he is become 
great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, 
and manservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses. (Gen. 
24:35.) Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall 
yield her increase. (Ps. 85:12.) Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us 
with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Ps. 6S:19.) The Lord is 
my shepherd. I shall not want (1). Thou preparest a table before me in 
the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup 
runneth over. (Ps. 23:1, 5.) Yet he filled their houses with good things. 
(Job 22:18.) And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and ye 



shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your house- 
holds, wherein the Lord 'thy God hath blessed thee. (Dt. 12:7.) Who 
are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be 
revealed in the last time. (I Peter 1:5.) Every good gift and every per- 
fect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, 
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js. 1:17.) 

b. By faith Abraham, when "he was called to go out into a place 
which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went 
out, not knowing whither he went. (Heb. 11:8.) 

c. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord ap- 
peared to Abram, and said unto him. I am the Almighty God; walk be- 
fore me, and be thou perfect. (Gen. 17:1.) And God appeared unto 
Jacob again, when he came out of Pandan-aram, and blessed him. (Gen. 
35:9.) And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, 
I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an 
house of sacrifice. (II Chr. 7:12.)

11 And it came to_ pass, when he was come 
near to enter into E'gypt, that he said unto 
Sa'rai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou 
art a fair woman to look upon: 

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when 
the E-gyp'tians shall see thee, that they shall 
say, This is his wife: and they d will kill me, 
but they will save thee alive. 

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: 
that it may be well with me for thy sake; 
and my soul shall live because of thee. 

14 If And it came to _ pass, that, when 
A'bram was come into E'gypt, the E-gyp'- 
tians beheld the woman that she was very 
fair. 

15 The princes also of Pha'ra5h saw her, 
and commended her before Pha'raoh : and the 
woman was taken into Pha'raoh's house. 

16 And he entreated A'bram well for her 
sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he 
asses, and menservants, and maidservants, 
and she asses, and camels. 

17 And the Lord "plagued c Pha'raoh and 
his house with great plagues because of Sa'rai 
A'bram's wife. 

18 And Pha'raoh called A'bram, and said, 
What is this that thou hast done unto me? 
why didst thou not tell me that she was thy 
wife? 

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so 
I might have taken her to me to wife: now 
therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy 
way. 

20 And Pha'raoh commanded his men con- 
cerning him: and they sent him away, and 
his wife, and all that he had. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 Abram and Lot return out of Egypt. 7 By 
disagreement they part asunder. 10 Lot 
goeth to wicked Sodom. 14 God reneweth 
the promise to Abram. 18 He removeth to 
Hebron, and there buildeth an altar. 

1 And A'bram went up out of E'gypt, he, 
and his wife, and all that he had, and x L6t 
with him, into the south. 

2 And A'bram was very rich in cattle, in 
silver, and in gold. 

3 And he went on his journeys from the 
south even to 2 Beth'-el, unto the place where 
his tent had been at the beginning, between 
Beth'-el and 3 Ha'i; 

4 Unto the place of the altar, which he 
had made there at the first: and there "A'bram 
called on the name of the Lord. 

5 If And a L6t also, which went with "A'bram, 
had flocks, and herds, and tents. 

6 And the land was "not able to bear them, 
that they might dwell together : for their sub- 
stance was great, so that they could not dwell 
together. 

7 And there was a strife between the herd- 
men of A'bram's cattle and the herdmen of 
L6t"s cattle: and the Ca'naan-ite and the Per'- 
Iz-zlte dwelled then in the land. 

8 And A'bram said unto Lot, 6 Let there be

and between my herdmen and thy herdmen;

5. A Heb. word sig. descender, 
probably from the rapid descent of 
the stream. This is the great river 
of Palestine as the Nile is of Egypt. 
The Jordan rises among the moun- 
tains of Ante-Lebanon and has four 
sources; (1) 'the Hasbany, which is- 
sues from a large fountain at an alti- 
tude of 1700 ft.; (2; Banaias, the 
base of Mt. Hermon, 74u ft. above 
sea level; (3) the Leddan, rising in 
a large fountain on the west side of 
the city of Dan, in the midst of a 
thicket of oleander bushes, a large 
pool 50 or 60 yards wide, with the 
water bubbling out of the ground in 
a full-grown stream, called by Jose- 
phus, River Jordan; (4) the Esh-Shar, 
a minor tributary only about three 
yards wide. The river J. flows 
about 12 miles through the valley, 
then enters a dark defile of some sev- 
en miles, thence 10 miles through a 
marsh, comes out into the beautiful 
lake Huleh, takes a south course 12 
miles further, enters the Sea of Gal- 
ilee, issues from the southwest cor- 
ner of the lake, flows on some Go 
miles, aud empties into the Dead Sea. 
The river J. is mentioned about 180 
times in the Old Testament and 15 
times in the New. 

6. See 8. ch. 10. 

7. The third altar built by Abra- 
ham. It is to be observed that each 
appearance of the Lord to A. is cele- 
brated by A.'s building an altar unto 
the Lord. 

Ch, 14. B. C. 1913. 

1. Successor of Nimrod. One of 
the four kings who invaded Palestine 
in the time of Abraham. No other 
record of the king is known save 
what is combined in this ch. 

2. The great chief or the chief of 
many confederated tribes. 

3. A king of Sodom in the time of 
Abraham and one of the five kings 
who rebelled against A. 

4. A city in the vale of Siddim. 
The territory afterward submerged 
by the waters of the Dead Sea. Lot 
settled here after his separation from 
Abraham. On account of the gross 
wickedness of the inhabitants Sodom 
was destroyed by fire from heaven. 
It was here that Abraham interceded 
with the angel of the Lord to spare 
the city if only 50 righteous could be 
found and finally if only 10 righteous 
could be found, each time the angel 
promising that the city would be 
spared if that number of righteous 
people were within her borders, but 
not even 10 were found, which would 
indicate that the city was wicked al- 
most beyond human comprehension. 
From Abraham the angel of the Lord 
went to Lot and warned him of the 
destruction to follow and told him to 
take his family and flee for safety, 
which he did. His wife disobeying 
the command, by lingering behind 
and looking back, was converted into 
a pillar of salt. 

5. One of the cities of the plains, 
destroyed along with Sodom by fire 
from heaven, because of the extreme 
wickedness of the place and its abso- 
lute stubbornness and refusal to cease 
from lis sinful ways. 

6. The name of a nation inhabit- 
ing the country to the south of Pal- 
estine east of the Dead Sea. The 
Amalekites were the first assailants 
of the Israelites after their passage 
through the Red Sea. By divine com- 
mand as a punishment for their hos- 
tility toward the Israelites. Saul in- 
vaded their country and destroyed 
their people amidst great destruction. 
About 20 years afterward they were 
attacked by David. It is said (I 
Samuel 27:S) that he smote the land 
and left neither man nor woman 
alive. Outside of the Old Testament 
we have but a very meager account of 



rate thyself, I pray thee, from me; 'if thou 
wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the 
right; or if thou depart to the right hand, 
then I will go to the left. 

10 And J L6t lifted up his eyes, and beheld 
all the plain of Jor'dan, that it was well wa- 
tered every where, before the Lord dest 
Sod'om and Go-mor'rah, even as the garden 
of the Lord, like the land of E'gypt, as thou 
comest unto Zo'ar. 

11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of 
Mor'dan; and Lot journeyed east: and they 
separated themselves the one from the other. 

12 "A'bram dwelled in the land of Ca'naan, 
and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and 
pitched his tent toward Sod'om. 

13 But the men of 'Sod'om were wicked and 
^sinners before the Lord exceedingly. 

14 1f And the Lord said unto "A'bram, after 
that ^ot was separated from him, Lift up 
now thine eyes, and look from the place 
where thou art northward, and southward, 
and eastward, and westward: 

15 For all the land which thou seest, to 
thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 

16 And I will make thy seed as the c dust 
of the earth : so that if a man can number 
the dust of earth, then shall thy seed also be 
numbered. 

17 Arise, walk through the land in the 
length of it and in the breadth of it; for I 
will give it unto thee. 

18 Then * A'bram removed his tent, and 
came and dwelt in the plain of Mam're, which 
is in He'bron, and built there an T altar unto 
the Lord. 

CHAPTER 14. 

1 The battle of four kings against five. 
12 Lot is taken prisoner. 14 Abram rescu- 
eth him. 18 Melchizedek blesseth Abram. 
20 Abram giveth him tithe. 22 The rest of 
the spoil, his partners having had their por- 
tions, he restoreth to the king of Sodom. 

1 And it came to pass in the days of : Am'- 
ra-phel king of Shi'nar, A'ri-och king of El'- 
la-sar, Ched-or-la'o-mir king of E'lam, and 
"Ti'dal king of nations; 

2 That these made war with Be'ra king of 
"Sod'om, and with Bir'sha king of r 'Go-mor'rah, 
Shi'nab king of Ad'mah, and Shem'e-ber king 
of Ze-boi'im, and the king of Be'la, which is 
Zo'ar. 

3 All these were joined together in the vale 
of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 

4 Twelve years they served Ched-6r-la'o- 
mer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 

5 And in the fourteenth year came Ched-or- 
la'o-mer, and the kings that were with him, 
and smote the Reph'a-ims in Ash'te-roth Kar- 
na'im, and the Zu'zims, in. Ham, and the 
E'mims, in Sha'veh Kir-i-a-tha'im, 

6 And the Ho'rites in their mount Se'ir, 
unto El-pa'ran, which is by the wilderness. 

7 And they returned, and came to En-mish'- 
pat, which is Ka'desh, and smote all the coun- 
try of the G Am'a-lek-ites, and also the 7 Am'- 
or-ites, that dwelt in Haz'e-zon-ta'mar. 

8 And there went out the king of "Sod'om, 
and the king of : 'Go-mor'rah, and the king of 



the Amalekites. V. 7 suggests the 
thought that the country of the A.'s 
and not the people was destroyed. 
7. The Amorites were the most 



powerful and distinguished of the 
Canaanitish nation. They were one 
of the nations whose country was to 
be given to Abraham. (Gen. 15:16- 



21.) When the Israelites were about 
to enter the promised land the Amor- 
ites occupied a tract on both sides of 
the Jordan. They made an attack 



on the tribes of Israel but they were 
totally defeated. Joshua also - 
quently defeated them with great 
slaughter. 



d. And Abraham said, Because I thought, surely the fear of God 
is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. (Gen. 
20:11.) 

e. He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kin.gs for 
their sakes. (I Chr. 16:21.) And they journeyed; and the terror of 
God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not 
pursue after the sons of Jacob. (Gen. 35:5.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; 
and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because 
of their cattle. (Gen. 36:7.) 



b. Now, therefore, there is utterly a fault among you, because ye 
go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? Whv 
do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? (I Cor. 6:7 

c. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with 
all men. (Rom. 12:18.) The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of 
them that make peace. (Ja. 3:18.) 

d. The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with 
violence. (Gen. 6:11.) And he did evil, because he prepared not his 
heart to seek the Lord. (II Chr. 12:14.) Forty years long was I grieved 
with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err" in their" heart, 
and they have not known my ways. (Ps. 95:10.) 

e. And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and

Ad'mah, and the king of Ze-bo'Irn, and the 
king- of Be la (the same is Zo'ar;) and they 
joined battle with them in the vale of Sid'- 
dim; 

9 With Ched-6r-la'o-mer the king of E'lam, 
and with Ti'dal king of nations, and Am'- 
ra-phel king of Shi'nar, and A'rl-och king of 
El'la-sar; four kings with five. 

10 And the vale of Sid'dim was full of 
"■slimepits; and the kings of Sod'om and Go- 
mor'rah fled, and fell there; and they that 
remained fled to the mountain. 

11 And they took all the goods of Sod'om 
.and Go-mor'rah, and all their victuals, and 

went their way. 

12 And they took Lot, °A'bram's brother's 
ron, who dwelt in SSd'om, and his goods, and 
departed. 

13 II And there came one that had escaped, 
rnd told A'bram, the He'brew; for he dwelt in 
the plain of Mam're the Am'or-ite, brother of 
Esh'col, and brother of A'ner: and these were 
confederate with A'bram. 

14 And when °A'bram heard that his to broth- 
er "was taken captive, he armed his trained 
servants, born in his own house, three hundred 
and eighteen, and pursued them unto "Dan. 

15 And he divided himself against them, he 
and his servants, by night, and smote them, 
and pursued them unto Ho'bah, which is on 
the left hand of 12 Da-mas'cus. 

16 And he brought back all the goods, and 
also brought again his brother Lot, and his 
goods, and the women also, and the people. 

17 II And the king of Sod'om went out to 
meet him after his return from the slaughter 
of Ched-6r-la'o-mer, and of the kings that, 
were with him, at the valley of Sha'veh, which 
is the king's 13 dale. 

18 And "Mel-chiz'e-dek king of Sa'lem 
brought forth bread and wine: and he was 
the "priest of 6 the most high God. 

19 And he "blessed him, and said, Blessed 
be "A'bram of the most high God, possessor 
of heaven and earth. 

20 And blessed be the most high God, which

tuminous pits abounded there as to 
give the Dead Sea the name, "as- 
phaltic lake." 

9. See 7, eh. 11. 

10. Simply meaning a kinsman. 

11. A city near the source of the 
Jordan. It is doubtless the same as 
the Danjaan of II Sam. 24:6; also the 
Dan mentioned in Dt. 34:1. The an- 
cient name of the place was Laish or 
Leshem. 

12. The metropolis and capital of 
Syria, situated in the midst of a plain 
of the same name, by some held to 
be the most ancient city in the world, 
is called by the orientals, "a pearl 
surrounded by emeralds," because of 
the extreme beauty of the surround- 
ing valley as well as the . city. The 
groves of D. consist principally of 
olive trees, which present a remark- 
able appearance of freshness and 
beauty. Of the origin of D. little is 
known. Some ascribe the founding 
to Abraham, while others claim it 
was an earlier period. It was at one 
time captured by Alexander the 
Great. About 633 A. D. it was cap- 
tured by Abubker. successor of Mo- 
hammed, who made it the capital of 
the whole Mussulman world, substi- 
tuting Islamism for Christianity. D. 
remained in the hands of Caliphas 
till captured by the Turks. D. is 
famous in the first age of Christianity 
for the conversion and first preaching 
of the Apostle Paul. (Acts 9:3-20; 
Gal. 1:17.) The present aspect of 
D. is far different from its original 
beauty, though many rich Armenian 
merchants still live there, whose 
dwellings are built of cedar with 
marble floors. The houses of the poor 
are built with mud with a small 
grating for windows, presenting many 
striking resemblances to stables. 
They invariably have a very foul pool 
of water immediately before the door. 
The bazaars of D. are noted the world 
over for their striking appearance 
and magnificent goods. 

13. Meaning depression. The 
name of a valley near Jerusalem 
where Absalom built a family monu- 
ment. (Gen. 14:17; II Sam. 18:18.) 
It is also called the vale of Shaveh. 

14. The mysterious stranger, with- 
out father, without mother., without 
descent, having neither beginning of 
days nor end of life (Heb. 7:3). 
i. e., without a recorded genealogy, 
a matter of prime importance with 
the Hebrews. M. was a high priest 
of the most high God, which title 
even placed him above Abraham, the 
father of the faithful. It was this 



hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. 
And he gave him is tithes c of all. 

21 And the king of Sod'om said unto 
17 A'bram, Give me the persons, and take the 
goods to thyself. 

22 And A'bram said to the king of 'Sod'om, 
I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the 
most high God, the possessor of heaven and 
earth, 

23 That I will not take from a thread even 
to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any- 
thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, 
I have made A'bram rich: 

24 Save only that which the young men 
have eaten, and the portion of the men which 
went with me, 19 A'ner, =0 Esh'col, and "'Mam're; 
let them take their portion. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 God encourageth Abram. 2 Abram com- 
plaineth for want of an heir. 4 God prom- 
iseth him a son, and a multiplying of his 
seed. 6 Abram is justified by faith. 7 Ca- 
naan is promised again, and confirmed by a 
sign, 12 and a vision. 

1 After these things the word of the Lord 
came unto ^'bram in a "vision, saying, 6 Fear 
not, A'bram: I am thy 2 shield, and thy ex- 
ceeding c great reward. 

2 And A'bram said, Lord God, what wilt 
thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the 
steward of my house is this 3 E-li-e'zer of 4 Da- 
mas'cus? _ 

3 And A'bram said, Behold, to me thou hast 
given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house 
is mine heir. 

4 And, behold, the word of the Lord came 
unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; 
but he that shall come forth out of thine own 
bowels shall be thine heir. 

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and 
said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the 
stars, if thou be able to number them: and 
he said unto him, So shall thy °seed be. 

6 And he ^believed in the Lord; and he 
"counted e it to him for righteousness. 

7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that 



sacred character that the Psalmist a 
thousand years later used as a type 
of the Messiah. (Ps. 110:4.) His 
title indicated King of Righteousness, 
also King of Peace, to whom Abra- 
ham paid his tithes which was a 
tenth of the spoils. It is recorded 
that even the priesthood themselves 
paid tithes to M. He is represented 
as one of the most sincere followers 
of the true God, one of the most 
righteous men of all history. So 
pure was his life that some main- 
tained that he was the son of God 
himself appearing in human form. 
But, according to Ps. 110:4 and Heb. 
6:20. 7:3, such a comparison is an 
empty platitude making Christ like 
himself. Others claim that he is no 
other than Shem. the most pious of 
Noah's sons, but this view is also 
discarded by most authorities. A ma- 



jority of scholars concur in the opin- 
ion that M. is an example of right- 
eousness such as God has always had 
in each generation. 

15. The primitive meaning of 
priest was one who presided over 
things religious, also one who could 
foretell and who could invoke the 
blessings of God upon men. A man 
who officiates or transacts with God 
on behalf of others statedly or for 
the occasion. 

16. A bestowing of the gifts of 
God, both temporal and spiritual. 

17. See 7, ch. 11. 

18. Sig. loth, which means to bo 
rich — ten is the rich number, as it in- 
cludes all the units under it. It is 
the Scripture number sig. abundance, 
as (Gen. 31:41) — "Thou hast changed 
my wages ten times." (I Sam. 1:8) 
— "Am I not better to thee than ten 



sons?" (Job 19:3)— "These ten times 
have ye reproached me." (Luke 10: 
16) — "Thy pound has gained ten 
pounds. " The giving of a tenth dates 
back to the patriarchal period. (Lev. 
27:30.) The incorporation of tithes 
in the Mosaic law is simply a recon- 
stitution of the patriarchal religion. 

19. One of the three Canaanites 
who .ioined their forces with Abraham 
in pursuit of Amraphel and his allies 
who had pillaged Sodom and carried 
off Lot. 

20. Otie of the Amoritish chiefs 
who joined with Abraham in pursuit 
of the forces who had carried off Lot. 

21. The name of an Amoritish 
chief who with his brothers Aner and 
Eshcol. were in alliance with Abra- 
ham.

NOTE.— Here for the first time oc- 



curs that profound expression, the 
word Jehovah, sig. of the self-reveal- 
ing of God, through him who "was 
in the beginning with God." coming 
to Abraham in a vision. A. arouses 
from his vision and gives utterance 
to the words in vs. 2, 3. In v. 1 is 
the first record which we have where 
the "word of the Lord" is said to 
come unto man. 

1. See 7, ch. 11. 

2. Thy protection the shield which 
will ward off the attacks of thine en- 
emies. 

3. The same name as Lazarus of 
the New Testament whom, before the 
birth of Ishmael and Isaac, Abraham 
regarded as his heir. He was a stew- 
ard of Abraham. 

4. See 12. ch. 14. 

5. Posterity, also those who imi- 
tate in character. 



■will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the 
nations of the earth be blessed. (Gen. 26:4.) Who can count the dust 
of Jacob, and the number of the 4th part of Israel? (Num. 23:10.) The 
Lord your God hath. multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the 
stars of heaven for multitude. (Dt. 1:10.) As the host of heaven cannot 
he numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the 
seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. (Jer. 
33:22.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, 
between me and thee, and between my herdman and thy herdman; for 
we be brethren. (Gen. 13:8.) 

b. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest 
for ever after the order of Melchisedek. (Ps. 110:4.) And it is far more 
evident; for that after the similitude of Melchisedek there ariseth an- 
other priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, 
but after the power of an endless life. (Heb 7:15, 16.) 

c. And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or 
of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's; it is holy unto the Lord. And 
if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the 
fifth part thereof. And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, 
even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto 
the Lord. (Lev. 27:30-32.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, 
Jacob, Jacob. And he said. Here am I. (Gen. 46:2.) 



b. Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am 
thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea. I will help thee; yea, I will uphold 
thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isa. 41:10.1 Be strong, 
and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord 
thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor for- 
sake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) What shall we then say to these things? If God 
be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) But if thou shalt indeed 
obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto 
thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. (Ex. 23:22.) 

c. So that a man shall say, Verily there Is a reward for the 
righteous; verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. (Ps. 58:11.) But 
without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God 
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently 
seek him. (Heb. 11:6.) 

d. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it 
was counted unto him for righteousness. Cometh this blessedness then 
upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we 
say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. (Rom. 4:3, 9.) 

e. And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all genera- 
tions for evermore. (Ps. 106:31.) Even as Abraham believed God, and 
it was accounted to him for righteousness (6). Know ye therefore that 
they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham (7). And 
the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through 
faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham, saying. In thee shall 
all nations be blessed (8). So then they which be of faith are blessed 
with faithful Abraham. (Gal. 3:6-9.)

brought thee out of Ur of the Chal'dees, to 
give thee this land to inherit it. 

8 And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I 
know that I shall inherit it? 

9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer 
of three years old, and a she goat of three 
years old, and a ram of three years old, and 
a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon. 

10 And he took unto him all these, and di- 
vided them in the midst, and laid each piece 
one against another: but the birds divided he 
not. 

11 And when the fowls came down upon the 
carcasses, A'bram drove them away. 

12 And when the sun was going down, a 
deep sleep fell upon A'bram; and, lo, an hor- 
ror of great darkness fellupon him. 

13 And he said unto A'bram, Know of a 
surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a 
land that is not their's, and shall serve them; 
and they shall r afflict them ^four hundred 
years ; 

14 And also ''that nation, whom they shall 
serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they 
come out with great substance. 

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in 
peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 

16 But in the fourth generation they shall 
come hither again: for the iniquity of the 
Am'-or-ites is not yet full. 

17 And it came to pass, that, when the 
sun went down, and it was dark, behold a 
smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that 
passed between those pieces. 

18 In the same day the Lord made a cov- 
enant with A'bram, saying. Unto thy seed 
have I given this land, from the river of 
Egypt unto the great river, the river Eu- 
phrates: 

19 The s Ken'ites, and the "Ken-iz-zites, and 
the i: 'Kad'mon-iTes. 

20 And the ^Hit'tites, and the Perlz-zites, 
and the "Reph'a-ims,

4. The polygamous conduct here 
recorded is not to be defended. Lite 
other immoralities in A.'s life, it is 
to be condemned as contrary to God's 
orders. The history of polygamy 
everywhere shows how the unholy 
practice breeds mischief, bitterness 
and sorrow. In this short ch. ail 
these evils are seen to flow from a 
single instance of bigamy in one of 
its mildest forms. Polygamy has 
ever been practiced among the de- 
scendants of Ishmael. whieh has al- 
ways been to them a physical and 
moral curse.

6. Here for the first time is pre- 



sented that much debated expression 
"angel of Jehovah.'' although not 
perhaps the first appearance of this 
angel. (Gen. 12:7. i There are two 
different views held regarding this 
angel, one that he was a specially 
created angel sent forth to speak 
and act in the name of Jehovah: the 
other that be was a manifestation of 
God in human form or Jehovah him- 
self speaking in his own divine name, 
while there are still others who claim 
he was a special commissioned angel 
at each different appearance, not 
- - rily the same angel every 
time.

and soon acquired great a : I

True friendship seems to have always 
existed between Ishmael and his half- 
brother. Isaac. He was the father 
:>f 12 sons, who gave their name to 
as manv tribes. (Gen. 17 :i 
12-16.) He also has two daughters, 
cne of whom became the wife of 
Esau. Ishmael appears to have been 
a wild and wayward boy. In Gen. 
16:11. 12 it was prophesied that he 
e -- a wild man": "bis hand 
will be against every man. and every 
m-°.n s hand against him." In boy-

said unto him, I am the Almighty God; a'walk 
before me, and 6 be thou 'perfect. 

2 And I will make my covenant between me 
and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. . 

3 And A'bram fell on his face: and God 
talked with him, saying, 

4 As for me, behold, my Covenant is with 
thee, and thou shalt be a ^father of many 
nations. 

_ 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called 
6 At>ram, but thy name shall be A'bra-ham ; for 
a father of many nations have I made thee. 

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, 
and I will make nations of thee, and kings 
shall come out of thee. 

7 And I will establish my Covenant between 
me and thee and thy 7 seed after thee in their 
generations for an everlasting covenant, to be 
a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed 
after thee, the land wherein thou art a 
stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an ever- 
lasting possession; and C I will be their God. 

9 H And God said unto c A'bra-ham, Thou 
^shalt keep my ^covenant therefore, thou, and 
thy seed after thee in their generations. 

10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, 
between me and you and thy seed after thee; 
Every man child among you shall be circum- 
cised. 

11 And c ye shall circumcise the flesh of your 
foreskin; and it shall be a token of the cove- 
nant betwixt me and you. 

12 And he that is eight days old shall be 
circumcised among you, every man child in 
your generations, he that is born in the house, 
or bought with money of any stranger, which 
is not of thy seed. 

13 He that is born in thy house, and he that 
is bought with thy money, must needs be cir- 
cumcised: and my covenant shall be in your 
flesh for an everlasting Covenant. 

14 And the uncircumcised man child whose 
flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that 
soul shall be fcut off from his people; he hath 
broken my covenant. 

15 H And God said unto A'bra-ham, As for 
'Sa'rai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name 
Sa'rai, but Sa'rah shall her name be.

1. See 7, ch. 11. 

2. Often used in the scripture for 
conduct in life; general demeanor; to 
hear and believe on the Lord; depend 
on him; remain in the study of inti- 
mate fellowship with him and under 
a continued impression of his pres- 
ence; to worship, obey, and please 
him. 

3. Blameless; a serving of the 
Lord through sincere consciousness, 
through love without hypocrisy or de-

4. God's promise or agreement to 
graciously bestow favors and bless- 
ings, both physical and spiritual, on 
man. 

5. The progenitor or founder or 
patriarch of a tribe or uation. 

6. Heretofore known by the name 
of Abram. Jehovah nqw changes the 
name to Abraham, sig.. Father of a 
multitude, as he was to become the 
founder of a Hebrew nation. Also

more temporary arrangements which 
were confined to particular individ- 
uals or classes, also to distinguish 
from the Levitical covenant, also the 
new and second covenant. A perpet- 
ual sign of the everlasting covenant 
to Abraham would be in the flesh of 
his desceudauts through circumcision.

10. The successive outbursts of 
joyful emotion over these precious 
promises and not the laughter of in- 
credulity. 

11. See S, ch. 16. 

12. Which means he shall laugh, 
a memorial of Abraham's joyful emo- 
tion recorded. The only son of A. 
and Sarah. The first fact recorded in 
the life of Isaac is the command to 
his father to offer the youth, "Thy 
son. thine only son Isaac, whom thi u 
lovest, for a burnt offering on a 
mountain in the laud of Moriah." At 
40 I. was married to Eebekah, his 
mother's brother's daughter. To them 
two suns, Jacob and Esau, were born; 
1. giving preference to Esau who pos- 
sessed those more robust qualities of 
character in which the father was 
defective. R. giving preference to Ja- 
cob. The above preferences produc- 
ed a division of feeling which caused 
much domestic unhappiness and ha- 
tred between the two sons. Later in 
life, a famine compels Isaac to seek 
food in some foreign land. Jehovah 
warning him against Egypt, he goes 
to Abimelech of Philistia. Here, like 
his father A., he denies his wife, 
fearing Abimelech would take her 
from him by force and perhaps mur- 
der him. He said to his wife. "When 
they ask of thee, say, I am his sis- 



be a mother of nations; kings of people shall 
be of her. 

17 Then A'bra-ham fell upon his face, and 
'"laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child 
be bom unto him that is an hundred years old? 
and shall Sa'rah, that is ninety years old, 
bear? 

18 And A'bra-ham said unto God, that 
"Ish 'ma-el might live before thee! 

19 And God said, "Sa'rah thy wife shall bear 
thee a son indeed: and thou shalt call his 
name l'§aac: and I will establish my covenant 
with him for an everlasting covenant, and with 
his seed after s him. 

20 And as for "Ish 'ma-el, I have heard thee: 
Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him 
fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; 
twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make 
him a great nation. 

21 But my 'covenant will I establish with 
l'§aac, which "Sa'rah shall bear unto thee at 
this set time in the next year. 

22 And he left off talking with him, and God 
went up from c A'bra-ham. 

23 I" And A'bra-ham took "Ish'ma-el his son, 
and all that were born in his house, and all 
that were bought with his money, every male 
among the men of A 'bra-ham's house; and cir- 
cumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the self- 
same day, as God had said unto him. 

24 And 6 A'bra-ham was ninety years old and 
nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of 
his foreskin. 

25 And "Ish'ma-el his son was thirteen years 
old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of 
his foreskin. 

26 In the selfsame day was A'bra-ham cir- 
cumcised, and Ish'ma-el his son. 

27 And all the men of his house, born in the 
house, and bought with money of the stranger, 
were circumcised with him.

ter.'' The subterfuge was later dis- 
covered and Isaac and Rebekah seat 
on their way. Through the artful 
contrivance of R.. I. was deceived 
into conferring the blessings of his 
family on Jacob instead of the first- 
born. Esau. At this time Isaac was 
almost blind and could only deter- 



mine the identity of his sons by 
touch. and the sound of their" 
voices. Esau was hairy; and Re- 
bekah. having placed the skin of a 
kid on Jacob's hands, deceived I.'s 
touch. Though I. thought the voice 
to be that of J. yet he yielded to the 
deception of touch, and the blessing 



was pronounced. I. was gentle, duti- 
ful, faithful and sensitive. He ap- 
pears as a man of suffering rather 
than as a man of action, a man of 
constant and tender affections. His 
life, judged by worldly standard, 
might seem inactive and unfruitful, 
but the "guileless years, prayers and 



gracious acts and daily thank of- 
fering of a pastoral life" are not to 
be so esteemed, though they make no 
show in history.

Chapter 17. 

a. And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah 300 years, 
and begat sons and daughters. (Gen. 5:22.) And he blessed Joseph, and 
said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the 
God which fed me all my life, long unto this day. (Gen. 48:15.) I will 
walk before the Lord in the land of the living. (Ps. 116:9.) He hath 
showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of 
thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy 
God? (Mie. 6:8.) That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called 
you unto his kingdom and glory. (I Thess. 2:12.) 

b. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and 
that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and 
eschewed evil. (Job 1:1.) Noah was a just man and perfect in his 
generations, and Noah walked with God. (Gen. 6:9.) Be ye therefore 
perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Mat. 5:48.) 
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and 
entire, wanting nothing. (Js. 1:4.) But as he which hath called you is 
holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. (I Peter -1:15.) Ye 
shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded 
vou; he shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. (Dt. 5:32.) 
Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. (Dt. 18:13.) Be ye there- 
fore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of 
the law of Moses, that re turn not aside therefrom to the right hand 
or to the left. (Josh. 23:6.) Let your heart therefore be perfect with 
the Lord our God. to walk in his statutes, and to keep his command- 
ments, as at this_day. (I Kings 8:61.) Blessed are the undefiled in the 
way, who v.alk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his 
testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do know 
iniquity; they walk in his ways. Then shall I not be ashamed, when 
I have" respect unto all thy commandments. (Ps. 119:1, 2, 3, 6.) Jesus 
said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and 
give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and 
follow me. (Mat. 19:21.) The disciple is not above his master; but 
every one that is perfect shall be as his master. (Lu. 6:40.) Having 



therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from 
all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of 
God. (II Cor. 7:1.) Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good 
comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace 
shall be with you. (II Cor. 13:11.) And he gave some, apostles, and 
some, prophets, and some, evangelists, and some, pastors and teachers 
(11). For the perfecting of the saints (12). Till we all come in the unity 
of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect 
man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. (Eph. 
4:11, 12, 13.) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; 
but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and 
reaching forth unto those things which are before (13). I press toward 
the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (14). 
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded; and if 
in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto 
you. (Phil. 3:13-15.) But whoso looketh into the perfect law of 
liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, 
but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (Ja. 1:25.) 
If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in 
us. (I Jno. 4:12.) If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect 
man, and able also to bridle the whole body. (Ja. 3:2). 

c. For this God is our God for ever and ever. He will he our guide 
even unto death. (Ps. 48:14.) 

d. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep 
his covenant and his testimonies. (Ps. 25:10.) 

e. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righetous- 
ness of the faith which he had, yet being uncircumcised; that he might 
be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised, 
that righteousness might be. imputed unto them also. (Rom. 4:11.) For 
in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uneircum- 
cision, but a new creature. (Gal. 6:15.) 

f. And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met 
him, and sought to kill him. (Ex. 4:24.)

2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, 
lo, ^three "men stood by him: and when he saw 
them, he *ran to meet them from the tent 
door, and bowed himself toward the ground. 

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found 
favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, 
from thy servant: 

4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, 
and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under 
the tree: 

•5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and 
comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall 
pass on: for therefore are ye come to your 
servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast 
said. 

6 And ALira-ham hastened into the tent 
unto Sa'rah, and said, Make ready quickly 
three "measures of fine meal, knead it, and 
make cakes upon the hearth. 

7 And A "bra-ham ran unto the herd, and 
fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto 
a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 

8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf 
which he had dressed, and set it before them; 
and he stood by them under the tree, and they 
did eat. 

9 r And they said unto him, Where is Sa'- 
rah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the 
tent. 

10 And he said, I will certainly return unto 
thee according to the time of life; and, lo, 
Sa'rah thy wife shall have a son. And Sa'rah 
heard it in the tent door, which was behind 
him. 

11 Now A "bra-ham and Sa'rah were old and 
well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with 
Sa'rah after the manner of women. 

12 Therefore Sa'rah 'laughed within herself, 
saying. After I am waxed old shall I have 
pleasure, my lord being old also? 

13 And the Lord said unto ATxra-hain. 
Wherefore did Sa'rah laugh, saying, Shall 1 
of a surety bear a child, which am old? 

14 Is any thing f too hard for the Lord? At 
the time appointed I will return unto thee, 
according to the time of life, and Sa'rah shall 
have a son. 

15 Then Sa'rah 7 denied, saying, I laughed 
not;. for she was afraid. And he said. Nay; 
but thou didst laugh. 

16 r Then the men rose up from thence, and 
looked toward s Sod'om: and A "bra-ham went 
with them to bring them on the way.

his children and his household after him, and 
they shall keep the way of the- Lord, to do 
justiceand judgment; that the Lord may bring 
upon A'bra-harn that which he hath spoken of 
him. 

20 And the Lord said, Because the c 
'Sod'om and ; Go-mor'rah is great, and because 
their sin is very grievous; 

21 I will go down now, 'and see wh 
they have done altogether according to the cry 
of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will 
know. 

22 And the men turned their faces from 
thence, and went toward Sod'om: but Abra- 
ham stood yet before the Lord. 

23 r And A "bra-ham drew near, and said, 
'■"Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the 
wicked? 

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous 
within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not 
spare the place for the fifty righteous that are 
therein? 

25 That be far from thee to do after this 
manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked : 
and that -''the righteous should be as the 
wicked, that be far from thee: Shall 'not the 
Judge of all the earth do right? 

26 And the Lord said, If I find in 'Sod'om 
fifty righteous within the city, then I will 
spare all the place for their sal: 

27 And A'bra-ham answered and said. Be- 
hold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto 
the Lord, which am but "dust and ashes: 

28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the 

ighteous: wilt thou destroy all the city 
for* lack of five? And he said, If I find there 
forty and five, I will not destroy it. 

29 And he spake unto him ; 'yet again, and 
said, Peradventure there shall be forty found 
there. And he said. I will not do it for forty's 
sake. 

30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the 
Lord be angry, and I will speak : Peradventure 
there shall thirty be found there. And he said, 
I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 

31 And he said, Behold now, 'I have taken 
upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradven- 
ture there shall be twenty found there. And 
he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. 

32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord bt 
angry, and I will speak yet but this once: 

Peradventure ten shall be found there. And 
i he said. I will not destroy it :i for ten's sake. 



Chapter 18. 

a. And there came two angels to Sodom at even. (Gen. 19:1.) The 
angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and 
deiivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) For he shall give his angels charge over 
thee, to keep thee in all thy ways (11). They shall bear thee up in their 
hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. (Ps. 91:11, 12.) 

b. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have 
entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 13:2.) For I was an hungered, and 
ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, 
and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited 
me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. (Math. 25:35, 36.) 

c. Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth 
by thy great power and stretched cut arm, and there is nothing too 
hard for thee. (Jer. 32:17.) But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, 
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 
(Math. 19:26.) And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he 
was able also to perform. (Rom. 4:21.) Trust ye in the Lord for ever: 
for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. (Isa. 26:4.) For with 
God nothing shali be impossible. (Lu. 1:37.) 

d. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will 
show them his covenant. (Ps. 25:14.) Henceforth I call you not serv- 
ants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called 
you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made 
known unto you. (Jno. 15:15.) 

e. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt 
talk of them when thou sitteth in thine house, and when thou walkest 
by the way, and when thou llest down, and when thou risest up. (Dt. 

T I And. ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath; but bring 
them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Eph. 6:4.) 

f. But all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with 
whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

g. The Lord trieth the righteous; but the wicked and him that 
loveth violence his soul hateth (5). Upon the wicked he shall rain 
snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the 
portion of their cup. (Ps. 11:5, 6.) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall 



be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings

he had left communing with ,J A'bra-ham: and 
A'bra-ham returned unto his place. 

CHAPTER 19. 

1 Lot entertaineth two angels. 4 The vicious 
Sodomites are stricken with blindness. 12 
Lot is sent for safety into the mountains. 
18 He obtaineth leave to go into Zoar. 24 
Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed. 26 
Lot's wife is a pillar of salt. 30 Lot dwell- 
eth in a cave. 31 The incestuous original 
of Moab and Amnion. 

1 And there came two Angels to Sdd'om at 
even; and Lot sat in the gate of "Sod'om: and 
! L6t seeing them rose up to meet them; and 
he bowed himself with his face toward the 
ground ; 

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, "turn 
in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and 
tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye 
shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And 
they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street 
all night. 

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and 
they turned in unto him, and entered into his 
house; and he made them a feast, and did 
bake 'unleavened bread, and they did eat. 

4 H But before they lay down, the men of 
the city, even the men of 'Sod'om, compassed 
the house round, both old and young, all the 
people from every quarter: 

5 And they called unto 2 Lot, and said unto 
him, Where are the men which came in to thee 
this night? bring them out unto us, that we 
may know them. 

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, 
and shut the door after him, 

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so 
wickedly. 

8 Behold now, S I have two daughters which 
have not known man ; let me, I pray you, bring 
them out unto you, and do ye to them as is 
good in your eyes/ only unto these men do 
nothing; for therefore came they under the 
shadow of my roof. 

9 And they said, Stand back. And they 
said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, 
and he will needs be a judge: now will we 
deal worse with thee, than with them. And 
they pressed sore upon the man, even 2 L6t, and 
came near to break tne door. 

10 But the men put forth their hand, and 
pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut 
to the door. 

11 And they °smote the men that were at 
the door of the house with blindness, both 
small and great: so that they wearied them- 
selves to find the door. 

12 r And the 7 men said unto Lot, Hast thou 
here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, 
and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast 
in the city, bring them out of this place: 

13 For we will destroy this place, because 
the cry of them is waxen great before the face 
of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to 
destroy it. 

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his 
sons in law, which married his daughters, and 
said, Up, 6 get you out of this place; for the 



Cb. 19. B. C. 1898. 

NOTE.— In cb. 19 is presented an- 
other picture in tbe life of Lot. After 
Abraham rescued biiu from tbe east- 
ern king be returns to Sodom. Al- 
though he remained true to his re- 
ligious conceptions, his daughters 
married men of the city and his fam- 
ily appears to have become consider- 
ably affected by the vices of the 
place. 

1. The two angels who left Abra- 
ham ou the heights. 

2. See 4, ch. 12. 

3. See 4, ch. 14. 

4. This is the first occurrence of 
tbe word unleavened. It means 
sweetness, and denotes bread not al- 
lowed time to ferment or to be made 
sour by leaven. 

5. The oriental idea of hospitality 
would almost compel men to lay 
down their lives or go to any extreme 
for the safety of their guests, but 
still this proposition of Lot's is -ut- 
terly shocking and outrageous and re- 
veals how clearly his long residence 
in wicked Sodom had dulled his mor- 
al sense. 

6. The angels smote the wicked 
mob with instant blindness, which 
aborted their plans and compelled 
them to disperse. 

7. The angels who had remained 
over night with Lot. 

8. That is, little. 

9. See 5, ch. 14. 

10. The circumstances set forth 
this destruction as miraculous, but — 
as in the plagues of Egypt — it is be- 
lieved that God used natural agencies 
to accomplish bis purpose. The coun- 
try round about is subject to volcanic 
action, also earthquakes; perhaps 
both causes were set to work by Je- 
hovah. Such actions generally cause 
lightnings to play and thunders to 
roll. In this way the authorities 
claim we have all the phenomena 
which the most literal interpretation 
of the sacred records can demand. 

11. The wife, being anxious for 
those who had been left behind, 
among them her sons-in-law, also 
perhaps reluctant to leave a place 
which had so long been her home 
and where much of their property was 
left, lingered behind tbe rest of them 
and looked back until she was over- 
taken by tbe burning fumes, and sud- 
denly involved in the destruction. 
Smothered, and stiffened as she stood 
by saline incrustations, she became 
a pillar of salt. Biblical scholars 
agree that it is not necessary to sup- 
pose she was actually turned into a 
pillar of salt, but having been killed 
by the fiery and sulphurous vapor 
with which the air was filled and 
afterwards incrusted in salt, she re- 
sembles an actual statue of salt. 

12. See 6, ch. 17. 

13. In this passage Lot's rescue 
is attributed to Abraham, thus mak- 
ing the second time Abraham has 
rescued Lot. 

14. This incest proposed by the 
eldest daughter and readily followed 
by her younger sister, indicates what 
demoralizing power life in Sodom bad 
had over tbem. They had become 
thoroughly saturated with the wicked- 
ness of Sodom. We are not to under- 
stand that L'lt's daughters believed 
the whole human race to have been 
destroyed, but that they now have no 
hope of marriage with any of the 
men of the country to which ther 
had fled. 



Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as 
one that mocked unto his sons in law. 

15 II And when the morning arose, then the 
angels hastened "Lot, saying, Arise, take thy 
wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; 
lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the 
city. 

16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold 
upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, 
and upon the hand of his two daughters; c the 
Lord being merciful unto him: and they 
brought him forth, and set him without the 
city. 

17 II And it came to pass, when they haa 
brought them forth abroad, that he said, Es- 
cape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither 
stay thou in all the plain; escape to the moun- 
tain, lest thou be consumed. 

18 And "Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my 
Lord : 

19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace 
in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy 
mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in 
saving my life; and I cannot escape to the 
mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 

20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, 
and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, 
(is it not a little one?) arid my soul shall live. 

21 And he said unto him, See, I have ac- 
cepted thee concerning this thing also, that 
I will not overthrow this city, for the which 
thou hast spoken. 

22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot 
do any thing till thou be come thither. _ There- 
fore the name of the city was called s Z5'ar. 

23 If The sun was risen upon the earth when 
Lot entered into Z5'ar. 

24 Then the d Lord rained upon 3 Sod'om and 
upon °Go-mor'rah brimstone and fire from the 
Lord but of "heaven; 

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all 
the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, 
and that which grew upon the ground. 

26 If But his wife "looked back from behind 
hirn, and she c became a pillar of salt. 

27 *\ And 12 A'bra-ham gat up early in the 
morning to the place where he stood before 
the Lord: 

28 And he looked toward 3 Sod'om and °Go- 
mor'rah, and toward all the land of the plain, 
and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country 
went up as the smoke of a furnace. 

29 If And it came to pass, when God des- 
troyed the cities of the plain, that God "re- 
membered '"A'bra-ham, and sent Lot out of the 
midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew 
the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 

30 1f And 2 L6t went up out of Zo'ar, and 
dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters 
with him; for he feared to dwell in Zb'ar: and 
he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 

31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, 
Our father is old, and there is not a man in 
the earth to come in unto us after the man- 
ner of all the earth: 

32 Come Het us make our father drink 
"wine, and we will lie with him, that we may 
preserve seed of our father. 

33 And they made their father drink wine 
that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay 



that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man 
availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.)

a. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have 
entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 13:2.)

consume them in a moment (21). Get you up from among this congrega- 
tion, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon 
their faces. (Xum. 16:21, 45.) Come out of her, my people, that ye be 
not partakers of her sins, and ye receive not of her plagues. (Rev. 18:4.) 

c. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent 
in darkness; for thy strength shall no man prevail. (I Sam. 2:9.) The 
Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in 
him shall be desolate. (Ps. 34:22.) The Lord preserveth all them that 
love him; but all the wicked will he destroy. (Ps. 145:20.) But God, 
who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us (4). 



Evan when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with 
Christ (by grace ye are saved.) (Eph. 2:4, 5.) 

d. And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burn- 
ing, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, 
like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which 
the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath. (Dt. 29:23.). Upon 
the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible 
tempest; this shall be the portion of their cup. (Ps. 11:6.) And turning 
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an 
overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live 
ungodly. (II Pet. 2:6.) 

e. Remember Lot's wife. (Lu. 17:32.) 

f. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be over- 
charged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so 
that day come upon you unawares. (Lu. 21:34.)

him drink wine this nignt also; and go thou in, 
and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of

that night also: and the younger arose, and 
lay with him; and he perceived not when she 
lav down, nor when she arose.

his name ls M6'ab: the same is the father of the

3 But God came to *A-bim'e-lech in a 
Mream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou 
art but a dead man, for the woman which thou 
hast taken; for she is a man's wife. 

4 But A-bim'e-lech had not come near her: 
and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a right- 
eous nation? 

5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? 
and she, even she herself said, He is my 
brother: in the integrity of my heart and in- 
nocency of my hands have I done this. 

6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, 
I know that thou didst this in the integrity' of 
thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sin- 
ning against me: therefore suffered I thee not 
to touch her. 

7 Xow therefore restore the man his wife; 
for he is a 6 prophet, and he c shall pray for 
thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore 
her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, 
thou, and all that are thine. 

8 Therefore 4 A-bim'e-lech rose early in the 
morning, and called all his servants, and told 
all these things in their ears: and the men 
were sore afraid. 

9 Then 4 A-bim'e-leeh called ""A'bra-ham, and 
said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? 
and what have I offended thee, that thou hast 
brought on me and on my kingdom a & great 
sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought 
not to be done. 

10 And A-bim'e-lech said unto A'bra-ham, 
What sawest thou, that thou hast done this

She was also his half-sister, being 
the daughter of his father, but not

their cry, and save them. (Ps. 145:19.) The fear of the Lord is to hate 
evil: pride, and arrogancy. and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I 
hate. (Prov. S : He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the 
Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him (2). A wis 
man feareth, and departeth from evil; hut the fool rageth, and is con- 
fident (16). In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his chil- 
dren shall have a place of refuge (26). The fear of the Lord is the foun- 
tain of life, to depart from the snares of death. (Prov. 14 2, - 27.1 
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the Lord 
men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.)

morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, 
and gave it unto Ha'gar, putting it on her 
shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: 
and she departed, and wandered in the wilder- 
ness of 7 Be'er-she'ba. 

15 And the water was spent in the bottle, 
and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 

16 And she went, and sat her down over 
against him a good way off, as it were a bow- 
shot : for she said, Let me not see the death of 
the child. And she sat over against him, and 
lift up her voice, and wept. 

17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and 
the angel of God called to^ Ha'gar out of 
heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, 
Ha'gar? fear not; for God hath heard the 
voice of the lad where he is. 

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in 
thine hand; for I will make him a great na- 
tion. 

19 .And God opened her eyes, and she saw a 
well of water; and she went, and filled the 
bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. 

20 And a God was with the lad; and he grew, 
and 6 dwelt in the "wilderness, and became an 
archer. 

21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pa'- 
ran: and his_ mother took him a wife out of 
the land of E'gypt. 

22 1 And it came to pass at that time, that 
A-blm'e-lech and Phrchol the chief captain of 
his host spake unto A 'bra-ham, saying, God is 
with thee in all that thou doest: 

23 Now therefore "swear unto me here by 
God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, 
nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but 
according to the kindness that I have done 
unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the 
land wherein thou hast sojourned. 

24 And A'bra-ham said, I will swear. 

25 And : A 'bra-ham reproved A-bim'e-lech 
because of a well of water, which A-bim'e- 
lech's servants had violently taken away. 



contaminated by such associates. He 
is therefore to be expelled. 

5. Abraham had great affection 
for Ishmael and he was therefore not 
disposed at this time to grant Sarah's 
request of expulsion. 

G. The promised seed should spring 
not from Ishmael, but from Isaac. 
The promise came first to Adam, sec- 
ond to Noah, third to Abraham, fourth 
Isaac, fifth Jacob, sixth Judah, sev- 
enth David. 

7. A place in the southern part of 
Canaan which took its name from the 
well dug b.v Abraham and the oath 
which confirmed his treaty with 
Abimeleeh. 

S. His mother's care followed him 
to this point and selected for him a 
wife out of her own native land, 
after which we hear no more of her. 

9. Abraham's duplicity and decep- 
tion in the matter of Sarah doubtless 
incited Abimeleeh to seek this oath. 

10. See 4, ch. 20. 

11. I knew not. 

12. Abraham here takes seven 
lambs because the Hebrew word for 
swear, in vs. 23 and 24. is the verbal 
form of the word seven, and means 
lit. to seven one's self, which doubt- 
less gave rise to the custom of seal- 
ing an oath by seven offerings with 
seven witnesses. 

13. Well of the oath. It took its 
name from the well which was dug 
by Abraham and the oath which con- 
firmed his treaty with Abimeleeh. It 
seemed to be near a favorite place of 
A. Here he planted one of the groves 
which formed the temples of those 
remote times (v. 33). 

14. The commander of the troops 
of Abimeleeh, the titular name of the 
commander-in-chief of the armies of 
the Philistine king of Gerar. 

15. A strong tribe southwest of 
Israel. Beersbeba seems to have 
been on the border of the land of 
the Philistines. The I.'s had estab- 
lished themselves in their land as 
early as th" time of Abraham, and 
founded a kingdom at Gcrar. When 
the Israelites ieft Egypt, they were 
afraid of returning by the shortest 
road because of the P.'s. In the time 
of Joshua (Josh. 13:3). the P.'s ap- 
pear in a league of five tribes, and J. 
seems to have thought it prudent to 
undertake nothing which would bring 
him in contact with them. In the 



26 And ir A-bim'e-lech said, I "wot not who 
hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell 
me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day. 

27 And A'bra-ham took sheep and oxen, and 
gave them unto A-bim'e-lech ; and both of them 
made a covenant. 

28 And ^A'bra-ham set seven ewe 12 lambs of 
the flock by themselves. 

29 And 10 A-bim'e-lech said unto A'bra-ham, 
What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou 
hast set by themselves? 

30 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs 
shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be 
a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. 

31 Wherefore he called that place "Be'er- 
she'ba; because there they sware both of them. 

32 Thus they made a covenant at 13 Be'er-she'- 
ba: then I0 A-bim'e-lech rose up, and "Phl'chol 
the chief captain of his host, and they returned 
into the land of the 'Phi-lis'tine?. 

33 1 And A'bra-ham planted a grove in 
Be'er-she'ba, and called there on the name of 
the Lord, the c eveiiasting God. 

34 And A'bra-ham sojourned in the Phi-lis'- 
tines/ land many days. 

CHAPTER 22. 

1 Abraham is tempted to offer Isaac. 11 The 
angel stayeth him. 13 Isaac is exchanged 
with a ram. 14 The place is called Jehovah- 
jireh. 15 Abraham is blessed again. 20 The 
generation of Nahor unto Rebekah. 

1 And it came to pass after these- things, 
that °God did Hempt 2 A 'bra-ham, and said unto 
him, A'bra-ham: and he said, Behold, here 
I am. 

2 And he said, 6 Take now thy son, thine only 
son 3 l'§aac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into 
the land of 4 Mo-ri'ah; and offer him there for 
a burnt offering upon one of the mountains 
which I will_ tell thee of. 

3 IF And A'bra-ham rose up early in the 
morning, and saddled his 5 ass, and took two of 



time of EH. the P.'s got possession 
of the ark (I S:im. 4i. but were sub- 
sequently defeated by Samuel, which 
put an end to their dominion that had 
lasted for 40 years. (I Sam. 7.) Not- 
withstanding their defeat, the P.'s 
continued to be troublesome neighbors 
and there were constant wars against 
them all the days of Saul (I Sam. 
14:52). Under Jehoram. in union 
with the Arabians, they fell on Je- 
rusalem and carried off the king's 
substance, his wives and children (II 
Chr. 21:16). The names of their 
chief cities were Gaza. Ashdod, As- 
kelon. Gath and Ekron. and it is 
strange to say that all of these towns 
have never once disappeared from 
history, but exist to-day under the 
names of Gazzeh. Askalum. Tafa, 
Esrud. Ummlakis and Beitjabrim. 
Four and one-half miles from Gaza 
a colossal marble statue was discov- 
ered in 1S7S. It is over 15 ft. high 
f.bove the pedestal. It is the figure 
oi a man with long hair hanging in 
ringlets upon his shoulders, having a 
long beard, every feature typifying 
age. 

Ch. 22. B. C. 1872. 

NOTE.— Ch. 22 presents the seventh 
and great test of Abraham's faith, 
the offering of Isaac. For many long 
years A. has been undergoing a se- 
vere training or schooling preparing 
him for his final work, and here in 
this ch. the spiritual life of the old 
I atriarch reaches its climax. Home 
and native land have long been left 



behind, revelation after revelation 
has lifted him into close and intimate 
friendship with God. He has sacri- 
ficed his natural yearnings for Ish- 
mael, and all his hopes now rest on 
Isaac. Now. as a final test of his 
faith and confidence in God he is com- 
manded to go forth and offer in sac- 
rifice even this son of miracle: thus 
early the experience of this old patri- 
arch suggests the teachings of our 
Saviour when he declares, "He that 
loveth son or daughter more than me 
is not worthy of me, and he that 
ioseth his life for me shall find it" 
(Mat. 10:37-39). 

The offering of Isaac in sacrifice by 
Abraham marks the crowning event 
in the life of this patriarch. Jeho- 
vah never intended A. to execute the 
terrible command. At this time the 
sacrifice of the firstborn was fre- 
quently practiced in Semitic races. 
Doubtless the question had often 
come to A., "Am I behind Assyria. 
Ammon and Moab in my devotion?" 
The ideas of mercy and justice were 
low in that period, and needed to be 
raised. To propitiate the deity by 
child-murder, was regarded as the 
height of religious devotion; there- 
fore the command to offer up Isaac 
in sacrifice fulfills the two-fold object 
of giving the crowning fruit of A.'s 
absolute faith in Jehovah and of dem- 
onstrating the moral superiority of 
faith in J. over the religious customs 
of other Semitic races, as other gods 
accepted the sacrifice of the first- 



born. Jehovah stayed the hand of A. 
aud forbade the sacrifice of his child. 
Thus J. upheld the instinct implanted 
in human nature which shrunk in hor- 
ror from the act. fie taught that J. 
had no pleasure in the infliction of 
suffering upon the innocent, that the 
character of J. was raised above that 
of heathen gods by higher love and 
truer justice. (Hastings.) 

1. To prove, to test, to try; in 
various ways God is said to try or 
prove men, i. e., their virtue (Ps. 
26:2). "Examine me, O Lord, and 
prove me; try my reins and my 
heart." (Dt. S:2-16)— "And thou shalt 
remember all the ways which the 
Lord thy God led thee, these 40 years 
in the wilderness, to know what was 
in thine heart, whether thou wouldest 
keep his commandments or no. . . . 
Who fed thee in the wilderness with 
manna, which thy fathers knew not, 
that he might humble thee, and that 
he might prove thee, to do thee good 
at thy latter end." (1) Their faith 
and obedience. (Ex. 15:25) — "And 
he cried unto the Lord; and the 
Lord showed him a tree, which when 
he had cast into the waters, the 
waters were made sweet; that he 
made for them a statute and an 
ordinance. and there he proved 
them." (Ex. 20:20)— "And Moses said 
unto the people. Fear not: for God is 
come to prove you, and that his fear 
may be before your faces, that ye sin 
not." (2) B.v commands difficult to 
be executed. (Ex. 16:4) — "Then said 



the Lord unto Moses. Behold I will 
rain bread from heaven to you; and 
the people shall go out and gather a 
certain rate every day. that I may 
prove them, whether they will walk 
in my law or no." Lange remarks 
that the word not only means to 
prove, but to prove under circum- 
stances which have originated from 
sin that increases the severity of the 
proof and makes it a temptation, as 
man's life is in a world of trial, 
trials which come from evil sources. 
(I Pet. 5:8) — "Be sober, be vigilant: 
because your adversary the devil, as a 
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking 
whom he may devour." All such 
solicitations to evil are among the 
offenses which Jesus deplored. (Mat. 
1S:7) — "Woe unto the world because 
of offenses: For it must needs be 
that offenses come; but woe to that 
man by whom the offense comoth!" 
When thus viewed, it is manifest 
that God tempts no man. (James 1: 
13) — "Let no man say when he is 
tempted. I am tempted of God: for 
God cannot be tempted with evil, 
neither tempteth he any man."

Chapter 21. 

a. And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. 
(Gen. 39:2.) 

b. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, 
and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence 
of all his brethren. (Gen. 16:12.) 

c. The eternal <?od is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlast- 
ing arms; and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and 
shall say, Destroy them. (Dt. 33:27.) Before the mountains were brought 
forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from 
everlasting to everlasting: thou art God. (Ps. 90:2.) Hast thou not 
known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the 
Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There 



is no searching of his understanding. (Isa. 40:28.) Blessed be the Lord 
God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. (Ps. 41:13.) 
Chapter 22. 

a. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is 
tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised 
to them that love him (12). Let no man say when he is tempted, I am 
tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth 
he any man. (Ja. 1:12, 13.) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist 
the devil, and he will flee from you. (Ja. 4:7.) Beloved, think it not 
strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some 
strange thing happened unto you. (I Pet. 4:12.) 

b. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten 
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever- 
lasting life. (Jno. 3:16.)

his young men with him, and I'saac his son, 
and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and 
lose up, and went unto the place of which God 
had told him. 

4 Then on the third day "A 'bra-ham lifted 
up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 

5 And 2 A'bra-ham said unto his young men, 
Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad 
will go yonder and worship, and come again 
to you. 

6 And A'bra-ham took the wood of the burnt 
offering and laid it upon Tsaac his son; and 
he took che fire in his hand, and a knife; and 
they went both of them together. 

7 And I'saac spake unto A'bra-ham his 
father, and said, My father : and he said, Here 
am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire 
and the wood: but where is the lamb for a 
burnt offering? 

8 And A'bra-liam said, My son, God will pro- 
vide himself o, lamb for a burnt offering: so 
they went both of them together. 

9 And they came to the place which God had 
told him of; and : A'bra-ham built an altar 
there, and laid the wood in order, and bound 
I'saac his son, and laid him on the altar upon 
the wood. 

10 And A'bra-ham stretched forth his hand, 
and took the knife to slay his son. 

11 And the c angel of the Lord called unto 
him out of heaven, and said, A'bra-ham, A'bra- 
ham: and he said, Here am I. 

12 And he said, c Lay not thine hand upon 
the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: 
for now I know that thou d fearest God, seeing 
thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son 
from me. 

13 And : A'bra-ham lifted up his eyes, and 
looked, and behold behind him a ram caught 
in a thicket by his horns: and A'bra-ham went 
and took the ram, and offered him up for a 
burnt offering c in the stead of his son. 

14 And 2 A'bra-ham called the name of that 
place 7 Je-h6'vah-ji"reh : as it is said to this day, 
In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. 

15 If And the angel of the Lord called unto 
A'bra-ham out of heaven a second time, 

16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith 
the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, 
and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son : 

17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in 
multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the 
stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is 
upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess 
the gate of his enemies; 

18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of 
the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed 
my voice. _ 

19 So = A'bra-ham returned unto his young 
men, and they rose up and went together to 
s Be-'er-she'ba; and A'bra-ham dwelt at Be'er- 
she-ba.

that it was told A'bra-ham, saying, Behold,

1 The age and death of Sarah. 3 The pur-

buried. 

1 And 'Sa'rah was an hundred and seven 
and twenty years old: these were the years of 
the life of Sarah. 

2 And Sarah died in = KIr'jath-ar'ba; the 
same is Hebron in the land of Canaan : and 
A'bra-ham came to mourn for Sa'rah, and to 
weep for her. 

3 ' And A bra-ham stood up from before his 
dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 

4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you : 
give me a possession of a buryingplace with 
3 r ou, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. 

5 And the children of Heth answered A'bra- 
ham, saying unto him, 

6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty 
prince among us: in the choice of our sepul- 
chres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold 
from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest 
bury thy dead. 

7 And 'A'bra-ham stood up, and bowed "him- 
self to the people of the land, even to the 
children of 3 Heth. 

8 And he communed with them, saying. If it 
be your mind that I should bury my dead out 
of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to 

E'phron the son of Zo'har, 

9 That he may give me the cave of r 'Mach- 
pe'lah, which he hath, which is in the end of 
his field; for as much money as it is worth he 
shall give it me for a possession of a burying- 
place amongst you. 

10 And E'phron dwelt among the children of 
Heth: and E'phron the Hittite answered 
A'bra-ham in the audience of the children of 
Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of 
his city, saying, 

11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I 
thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it 
thee; in the presence of the sons of my people 
give I it thee: bury thy dead. 

12 And A bra-ham bowed down himself be- 
fore the people of the land. 

13 And he spake unto E'phron in the audi- 
ence of the people of the land, saying, But if 
thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will 
give thee money for the field; take it of me, 
and I will buiy my dead there.

unto him,

worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is 
that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy

d. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the

thee. So he drew off his shoes. And Boaz said unto the elders, and

Ch. 24. B. C. 1857. 

NOTE. — Ch. 24 is especially devot- 
ed to a record of the incidents con- 
nected with the marriage of Isaac. 
After the death of Sarah the house 
of A. was left in gloom. He again 
removed into the south country and 
was now probably living near Beer- 
sheba. After about two years A.'s 
loneliness, caused by the death of 
Sarah, prompts him to seek a wife 
for his son Isaac. The following 
points should be carefully uoted in 
this ch.: (1) The authority of par- 
ents and the elder brother in nego- 
tiating marriages; (2) the chief 
servant is the manager or go-between 
of such affairs for a princely family; 
(3) marriage between cousins or blood 
relations, rather than strangers; (4) 
careful consideration of religious af- 
finity, and its influence on the pos- 
terity; (5) the marriage union ce- 
mented by mutual love. 

1. See 2. ch. 21. 

2. The descendants of Canaan, the 
son of Ham and the grandson of 
Noah; inhabitants of the land of C. 
and adjoining districts. Primarily it 
was applied to the coast, secondarily 
to the valley of the Jordan. But in 
time it came to be extended to the 
whole country, including the moun- 
tainous district occupied by the Am- 
orites. When the Israelites were 
delivered from Egypt by Moses in 
order to take possession of the prom- 
ised land, that country was then in- 
habited by the descendants of Ca- 
naan, who were divided into six or 
seven distinct nations, viz., the Hit- 
tites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaan- 
ites proper, Perizzites, Hivites and 
Jebusites. (Ex. 3:17.) Besides these 
there were several Canaanitish tribes 
who lived beyond the northern bor- 
ders of the promised land, but with 
them the Israelites had no concern. 
In Ex. 23:23, the I.'s are commanded 
to dispossess and destroy the six C. 
tribes. The Old Testament story of 
the C.^s has in recent years been very 
powerfully reinforced by archaeolog- 
ical research. From the Old Testa- 
ment we learn: (1) The C.'s lived in 
cities "walled up to heaven." (2) 
They made likenesses of idols which 
Israel was to destroy. (3) The C.'s 
adored Tammuz and Ashtoreth. (4) 
Letters are mentioned in David's 
time and- writing in the time of Mo- 
ses. (5) The C.'s had horses and 
chariots of iron. (6) Esau, David, 
Soiomon and Rameses the Second 
married Hittite wives. (7) Egypt 
was the enemy of Israel and I. was 
the enemy of the C.'s. (8) The C.'s 



I give this land; he shall send his Mangel before 
thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son 
from thence. 

8 And if the woman will not be willing to 
follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this 
my 4 oath: only bring not my son thither again. 

9 And the servant put his hand 5 under the 
thigh of A'bra-ham his master, and sware to 
him concerning that matter. 

10 If And the servant took ten camels of the 
camels of his master, and departed; for all the 
goods of his master were in his hand: and he 
arose, and went to "Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a, under the 
city of 'Na'hor. 

11 And he made his camels to kneel down 
without the city by a well of water at the time 
of the evening, even the time that women go 
out to draw water. 

12 And he said, Lord God of my master 
^'bra-ham, I r pray thee, send me good speed 
this day, and shew kindness unto my master 
A'bra-ham. 

13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; 
and the daughters of the men of the city come 
out to draw water: 

14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel 
to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I 
pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall 
say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink 
also : let the same be she /that thou hast ap- 
pointed for thy servant T§aac; and thereby 
shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness 
unto my master. 

15 1f And it came to pass, before »he had 
done speaking, that, behold, s Re-bek'ah came 
out, who was born to_°Beth-u'el, son of Mil'cah, 
the wife of Na'hor, A'bra-ham's brother, with 
her pitcher upon her shoulder. 

16 And the damsel was very fair to look 
upon, a virgin, neither had any man known 
her: and she went down to the well, and filled 
her pitcher, and came up. 

17 And the servant ran to meet her, and 
said, Let ''me, I pray thee, drink a little water 
of thy pitcher. 

18 And she said, i Drink, my lord: and she 



were the sons of Ham and they were 
tmcircumcised. (9) Great riches are 
mentioned as found by the Hebrews 
when they attacked the C.'s. Archae- 
ology has obtained from monuments 
the following: (1) The Hittites lived 
in walled towns. (2) They had 
carved representations of the gods. 
(3) They adored Tammuz, Ashtoreth 
and Set. (4) They could write on 
stone and metal. (5) They had char- 
iots and horses. (6) They married 
out of their own tribe. (7) They 



entered into an alliance with Egypt. 
(S) They were a Turanian race, and 
therefore not circumcised, as that is 
not a Turanian custom. (9) They 
had riches of gold, silver and bronze.

Chapter 24. 

a. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold. (Gen. 
13:2.) And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become 
great; and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, 
and manservants and maidservants, and camels, and asses. (Gen. 24:35.) 
So then they which be o£ faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 
(Gal. 3:9.) Now, therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep 
my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all 
people; for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) Behold, I set before you 
this day a blessing and a curse. A blessing, if ye obey the command- 
ments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day. (Dt. 
11:26, 27.) When a man's ways please the Lord he maketh even his 
enemies to be at peace with him. (Prov. 16:7.) 

b. And the time drew nigh that Israel must die; and he called his 
son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, 
put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly 
with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt. (Gen. 47:29.) 

c. Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou 
shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy 
son. (Dt. 7:3.) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. 
(II Cor. 6:14.) 

d. Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, 
and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. (Ex. 23:20.) 
The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and 
delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) For he shall give his angels charge over 
thee, to keep thee in all thy ways (11). They shall bear thee up in 
their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. (Ps. 91:11, 12.) 
And one cried unto another, and 'said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of 
hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory (3). And he said, Go, and tell 
this people, Hear ye indeed, that understand not: and see ye indeed, but 
perceive not. (Is. 6:3, 9.) And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon 
him, and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the 
S'de, and raised him up. saying. Arise up quickly. And his chains fell 
off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and 



the creative organ became the symbol 
of creator and the object of worship 
among all nations of antiquity. It is 
for this reason that God claimed it 
as the sign of a covenant in the rite 
of circumcision. Nothing could in 
those days lender the oath more sol- 
emn than touching the symbol of 
creation, the sign of the covenant. 

6. The country between the two 
rivers, Euphrates and Tigris. 

7. The city where A.'s brother 
Nahor lived, with his grandson, La- 



ban (see Gen. 24:47), where Terah 
and A. made their home after they 
left the land of the Chaldees, where 
Terah died, where A. received his call 
to go into Canaan; the chief city in 
Mesopotamia. 

8. Daughter of Bethuel, sister of 
Laban, the wife of Isaac. The storj 
of the marriage constitutes one oi 
the most beautiful passages of sacred 
history. 

9. Son of Nahor, father of Laban 
and of Rebekah. 



bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy 
garment about thee, and follow me. (Acts 12:7, 8.) 

e. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and suppli- 
cation with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 
(Phil. 4:6.) Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that 
we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb. 
4:16.) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to 
all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But 
let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like 
a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (Ja. 1:5, 6.) And 
this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything 
according to his will, he heareth us. And if we know that he hear us, 
whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired 
of him. (I Jno. 5:14, 15.) Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O 
Lord. Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice 
of my supplications. (Ps. 130:1, 2.) And he spake a parable unto them 
to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. (Lu. 18:1.) 

f. House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent 
wife is from the Lord. (Prov. 19:14.) 

g. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are 
open unto their cry. (Ps. 34:15.) I cried unto the Lord with my voice, 
and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Ps. 3:4.) Thou hast given him 
his heart's desire and hast not withholden the request of his lips. 
(Ps. 21:2.) But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice 
of my prayer. (Ps. 66:19.) I love the Lord, because he hath heard my 
voice and my supplications. (Ps. 116:1.) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, 
remember me when thou contest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto 
him, Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise. 
(Lu. 23:42, 43.) 

h. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith 
unto her,- Give me to drink. (Jno. 4:7.) 

i. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of an- 
other, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. (1 Pet. 3:8.) Use hos- 
pitality one to another without grudging. (I Pet. 4:9.) Every man ac-

hand, and gave him drink. 

19 And when she had done giving him drink, 
she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, 
until they have done drinking. 

20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher 
into the trough, and ran again unto the well 
to draw water, and drew for all his camels. 

21 And the man wondering at her held his 
peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his 
journey prosperous or not. 

22 And it came to pass, as the camels had 
done drinking, that the man took a golden ear- 
ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets 
for her hands of ten "shekels weight of gold;

me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's 
house for us to lodge in?

of 'Beth-u'el the son of MH'cah, which she bare 
unto Na'hor. 

25 She said moreover unto him, We have 
both straw and "provender enough, and room 
to lodge in.

worshipped the Lord.

my master 'Alara-ham, who hath not left desti-

house of my master's brethren. 

28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her 
mother's house these things. 

29 r And 'Re-bek'ah had a brother, and his 
name was La ban: and ^aTjan ran out unto 
the man, unto the well. 

30 And it came to pass, when he saw the 
earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, 
and when he heard the words of s Re-bek'ah his 
sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; 
that he came unto the man; and, behold, he 
stood by the camels at the well. 

31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the 
Lord; wherefore standest thou without? for I 
have prepared the house, and room for the 
camels. 

32 r And the man came into the house: and 
he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and 
"provender for the camels, and water to wash 
his feet, and the men's feet that were with him. 

33 And there was set meat before him to 
eat: but he said, k I will not eat, until I have 
told mine errand. And hesaid. Speak on. 

34 And he said, I am 'A 'bra-ham's servant.

greatly; and he is become great: and he hath 
given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and

they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear

And she say to me, "Both drink thou, and 
I will also draw for thy camels: let the same 
be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed 
out for my master's son. 

45 And before I had done speaking in mine 
heart, behold, 'Re-bek'ah came forth with her 
pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down 
unto the well, and drew water; and I said unto 
her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and 
gave them to Re-bek'ah: he gave also to her 
brother and to her mother precious things.

he could not become the heir of A. 
he would become the head of a tribe 
of his own.

S. His whole body was as if cov- 
ered with a fur. a sign of excessive 
si usual vigor and wildness. He was 
the eldest son of Isaac and Rebekah 
and twin brother with Jacob. Esau 
was a very ardent and lofty spirit, 
always daring, and became quite 
skillful in everything he undertook. 
At one time having experienced a 
disappointment in the chase, return- 
ing footsore and hungry, he asked 
his brother J. for food. J. saw the 
exigency in which E. was and re- 
solved not to let it pass unimproved. 
Consequently he puts a price on his 
food and offers it to E. for his birth- 
right. E.. urged on by his cravings 
of hunger, and alarmed perhaps by 
the fear of death from starvation, 
accepts the bargain, and immediately 
the contract was sanctioned by an 
oath. E. was the favorite of his 
father, while J. was specially beloved 
by his mother. Family strife con- 
tinues to exist between the brothers, 
until E. reaches forty, when he leaves 
and marries two Hittite wives, Judith 
and Bashemoth. The time for the 
fulfilling of the contract between the 
two brothers — whereby E. transfers 
his birthright to J. — having arrived. 
It. begins to devise means to secure 
the advantage for J. I. is sick unta 
death. He asks his favorite son E. 
to go and get him some venison, and 
no sooner does he start than R. says 
to J., "Hasten, get a kid. kill it, and 
I will cook it; take it in to your 
father and secure the blessing before 
Ksau returns." But in fear J. says, 
"E.'s hands are hairy. Father will 
feel of me and discover the decep- 
tion." R. says. "Not so; I will cover 
your hands with the skin of the kid." 
which war, accordingly done; and thus 
through this deception the boy's com- 
pact was sealed and E.'s birthright 
gone. Many years after this when 
J. returns from Laban within the 
borders of the Jordan, he fears to 
meet E., who had become quite pow- 
erful, remembering, as he does, the 
wrong he did E. in stealing his birth- 
right from him, but his fears were 
groundless, for with extended arms 
E. met his brother, fell upon his

and Sa'rah his wife. 

11 If And it came to pass after the death of 
A'bra-ham, that God blessed his son T§aac; 
and l'§aac dwelt by the well La-hai'-roi.

E-gyp'tian, Sa'rah's handmaid, bare unto 
A'bra-ham :

Ish'ma-el, by their names, according to their 
generations: the firstborn of Ish'ma-el, Ne-ba'-

14 And Mish'rna, and Du'mah, and Mas'sa, 

15 Ha'dar, and Te'ma, Je'tur, Na'phish, and 
Ked'e-mah : 

16 These are the sons of Ish'ma-el, and these 
are their names, by their towns, and by their 
castles; twelve princes according to their na- 
tions. 

17 And these are the years of the life of Ish'- 
ma-el, an hundred and thirty and seven years: 
and he gave up the ghost and died; and was 
gathered unto his people. 

18 And they dwelt from Hav'i-lah unto 
Shur, that is before E'gypt, as thou goest 
toward As-syr'i-a: and he died in the presence 
of all his brethren. 

_ 19 IF And these are the generations of I'saac, 
AT3ra-ham's_ son: A'bra-ham begat l'§aac: 

20 And T§aac was forty years old when he 
took 7 Re-bek'ah to wife, the daughter of Beth- 
u'el the Syr'i-an of Pa'dan-a'ram, the sister to 
La'ban the Syr'i-an. 

21 And l'§aac intreated the Lord for his 
wife, because she was barren : and the Lord 
was intreated of him, and Re-bek'ah his wife 
conceived. 

22 And the children struggled together with- 
in her; and she said, If it be so, why am I 
thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord. 

23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations 
are in thy womb, and two manner of people 
shall be separated from thy bowels; and the 
one people shall be stronger than the other 
people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 

24 11 And when her days to be delivered were 
fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 

25 And the first came out red, all over like 
an hairy garment; and they called his name 
s E'sau.

his hand took hold on E'sau's heel; and °his 
name was called "Ja'cob: and T§aac was three-

neck, and together they wept. In 
character F. was a true child of his 
age — he embraced the virtues and de- 
feats of his time and race. Restless, 
impulsive and fearless, always light- 
hearted as a child, he was careless 
of the future, with no self-control or 
manly thonghtfulness. The enjoyment 
of the hour was more to him than 
the greatest promises of what was in 
store. His bounding health and ani- 
mal spirits engrossed him and he 
found his deliirlit in their gratifica- 
tion: yet. withal, he had many of the 



traits of an excellent man. He was 
-generous, frank and honest, kindly 
and forgiving. Having no settled 
habits of honest toil, no fixed re- 
ligious principles, no reverence for 
the future, there was nothing on 
which his better nature might fall 
hack, and therefore he lived only for 
excitement and pleasure. 

9. Meaning supplanter; son of 
Isaac and Rebekah; twin brother of 
Esau. He was also called Israel, the 
father of the: 12 patriarchs who were 
the ancestors of the 12 tribes of Is- 



rael. So marked and determined was 
the struggle for supremacy between 
Jacob and Esau that we read J. was 
born with his hand holding to the 
heel of E.. endeavoring to hold him 
back and secure the first place for 
himself. From this circumstance it 
is said he was called Jacob, which 
means, who takes by the heel, to 
trip up or supplant. This at least 
was the Hebrew idea. However. J. 
grew up to be a plain, quiet, home 
loving man. pursuing the life of a 
shepherd. In early life an incident 



occurred which displayed the charac- 
ter of Jacob. His brother returned 
exhausted from the chase, and asked 
J. for something to eat. J. saw his 
opportunity and did not scruple to 
make the most of it. saying, "Sell 
me first thy birthright." Esau con- 
sented; but still J. is not satisfied 
and he has E. to seal his promise 
with an oath. The birthright carries 
with it not only a better position in 
the family, a larger inheritance of 
the possessions, but also the father's 
blessing. J. here illustrates not only 



o. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he 
meditate day and night. (Ps. 1:2.) Evening, and morning, and at noon, 
will I pray, and cry aloud; and lie shall hear my voice. (Ps. 55:17.) 
Now, when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his 
house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, 
he kneeled upon his knees 3 times a day and prayed, and gave thanks 
before his God, as he did aforetime. (Dan. 6:10.) And when he had 
sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray; and 
when the evening was come he was there alone. (Math. 14:23.) And 
in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and de- 
parted into a solitary place, and there prayed. (Mk. 1:35.) And it came 
to pass in these days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and 
continued all night in prayer to God. (Lu. 6:12.) On the morrow, as 
they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city. Peter went up 
upon the house-top to pray about the 6th hour. (Acts 10 ;9.) This book 



of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate 
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all 
that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, 
and then thou shalt have good success. (Josh. 1:8.) Let the words of 
my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, 
O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. (Ps. 19:14.) 
Chapter 25. 

a. And thcu shalt go to thy fathers in jpeace; thou shalt be buried 
in a good old age. (Gen. 15:15.) 

b. And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto 
his people, being old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob 
buried him. (Gen. 35:29.) 

c. And he saia, Is not he rightly named Jacob? For he hath sup- 
planted me these two times; he took away my birthright; and, behold, 
now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not re- 
served a blessing for me? (Gen. 27:36.)

but also the spirit of avarice and self- 
in" . in taking advantage of bis 
brother's needs. Again in Gen. 27: 
1--15. is related another incident in 
J.'s life. Though under the influence 
of bis designing mother, it clearlyi In- 
dicates the artifice of his nature. 
Isaac bids Esau to briny him venison. 
Through the- suggestion of Rebekah, 
J. hastens and kills a kid. covers his 
hands with the skin, deceives bis 
aged and almost blind father and thus 
through deception secures his father's 
blessing and the final transfer of the 
birthright to himself. J. is charged 
by his parents to go to Padan-aram 
and find there a wife among the 
daughters of his uncle. Labau. J. 
obeys, and starts at once on his jour- 
ney from Beersheba to Haran, trav- 
eling northward through Canaai Hi 
stops over night at a place called 
Bethel. Hire he dreams and in his 
dream the natural features of the 
locality shape themselves into a lad-

lug and descending upon it: by his 
side Jehovah stands, addressing Mm 
in words of encouragement and hope, 
n countless posterity, as- 
suring him that he will bring him 
back to his native land in safety. 
The dream represents under a striking 
symbolism the thought that heaven 
and earth are connected, that an ever- 
] resent providence watches over the 
destinies of men. J. dedicates the 
place by setting up the boulder on 
which his head rested for the night, 
pouring oil on the top of it. promis-

and I_ will perform the oath which I sware 
unto A'bra-ham thy father; 

4 And 'I will make thy seed to multiply as 
the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy 
seed all these 'countries; and in thy seed ,J sliall 
all the nations of tlie earth be blessed; 

5 Because that 'A'bra-ham 7 obeyed my 'voice, 
and kept my ''charge, my "'commandments, my 
"statutes, and my 12 laws. 

6 * And i'saac dwelt in Ge'rar: 

7 And the men of the place asked him oL 
his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he 
feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, 
the men of the place should kill me for Re- 
bek'ah; because she was fair to look upon. 

8 And it came to pass, when he had been 
there a long time, that A-bim'e-lech king of 
the Phi-lis'tmes looked out at a window, and 
saw, and, behold, "i'saac was "sporting with 
"Re-bek'ah his wife. 

9 And A-bim'e-lech called 2 I'saac, and said. 
Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how 
saidst thou, She is my sister? And I'saac sai 1 
unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. 

10 And A-bim'e-lech said, What is this thou 
hast done unto us? one of the people might 
lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou 
> shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 

11 And A-bim'e-lech charged all his people, 
saying, He that ftoucheth this man or his wife 
shall surelybe put to death. 

12 Then I'saac sowed in that land, and re- 
ceived in the same year an "'hundredfold: and 
the Lord blessed him. 

13 And the man waxed ''great, and went for- 
ward, and grew until he became very great: 

14 For he had possession of flocks, and pos- 
session of herds, and great store of servants: 
and the PhT-lis'tines envied him. 

15 For all the wells which his father's ser- 



cunning and deception. While living 
with Laban there were horn to J. 
eleven sons and one daughter: six 
sons and a daughter (Dinah) by Leah. 
two sons by Zilpah (Leah's hand- 
maid), two sons by Bilhah (Rachel's 
handmaid) and Joseph by Rachel. 
Finally, while Laban is engaged in 
sheepshearing, J. takes his flight, 
and directs his steps toward Gilead. 
R. steals her father's Teraphim. or 
household gods. Upon hearing of J.'s 
departure. L. pursues and overtakes 
him in the hilly country of Gilead. 
Their meeting is everything but a 
pleasant one; but L.'s leave-taking 
is noted for its affectionate good-bye 
— and thus the long game of well- 
matched wits is ended. L. returns 
to Haran. J. journeys on to Canaan. 
But a fresh danger now threatens J. 
He must pass through the country of 
his brother E., whom he had treated 
so foully. He' sends on ahead a pres- 
ent of 580 head of cattle to E. Night 
comes on and in the solitude and 
darkness a strange and nameless 
dread comes over J. The terrible 
thought that God was an antagonist, 
took possession of him and so vividly 
did he realize it that he seemed to 
be engaged in an actual struggle with 
a man. The struggle continued till 
daybreak. The mysterious stranger 
saw he could not prevail against J. 
by the means which a wrestler would 
naturally employ: so, in order to show 
his superiority and to escape before 



daylight, sprained J.'s thigh. J. now 
perceives that his antagi nist is no 
ordinary mortal and seizes the op- 
portunity to win a blessing from him. 
"I will not let thee go unless thou 
bless me!" The blessing came in 
the form of a change of names. 
Henceforth J. is known as Israel, 
meaning "perscverer with God." The 
dreaded meeting with E. passes off 
happily, as E. has forgiven his broth- 
er. J. now comes to Bethel, the place 
where Jehovah had met him in his 
dream as he started from home, Je- 
hovah promising to bring him back 
safely, which he had done; while J. 
in fulfillment of his vow. proceeded 
to build an altar to Jehovah. Depart- 
ing from Bethel, Rachel dies, leaving 
an infant sou whom Jacob called 
Benjamin. The active period of J.'s 
life is now over, and Joseph becomes 
the moving spirit during the quiet of 
his remaining days. Joseph was his 
father's favorite son. He sends him 
to SBechem. where, his brother was 
feeding the flocks, to see that all is 
well with them. The brothers full 
upon Joseph 'and sell him. reporting 
to J. that his son had been killed 
by wild beasts, and thus in his old 
age J. is deceived by his sons, as 
he in his youth had deceived his own 
aged father, and suffers severe retri- 
bution of his early craftiness. A 
famine comes over Canaan and J. 
sends his sons to Egypt to buy corn. 
Joseph is now the first in authority 



under Pharaoh. After severely trying 
his brothers he makes known his iden- 
tity and sends for his father, who 
comes and spends the remaining years 
of his life in Goshen, under the pro- 
tection of Pharaoh and Joseph.

podded vegetable like a pea or bean, 
by boiling into a soup.

NOTE. — This is the only ch. in the 
history of Isaac which is devoted en- 
tirely to nis own life, the others be- 
ing largely intermixed with the his- 
tory of his father or his sons. There 
exists in it a remarkable similarity 
to many passages in the life of Abra- 
ham, so striking that many rational- 
istic critics have not hesitated to 
pronounce them one and the same 
story, but, on the other hand, there 
are many points of real difference, 
and the above mentioned rationalistic 
critics have failed to take into con- 
sideration now much of human life, 
as well as history, is ever repeating 
itself, and how slow are many of the 
best men to improve by the errors 
of their fathers or predecessors. To" 
shew this is an important part of 
the purpose of this ch.

his tent in the valley of Ge'rar, and dwelt

20 And the herdmen of Ge'rar did strive 
with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is 
our's: and he called the name of the well 
17 E'sek; because they strove with him.

for that also: and he called the name of it

22 And he removed from thence, and digged 
another well ; and for that they strove not : 
and he called the name of it 10 Re-ho'both ; and 
he said, For now the Lord hath made room for 
us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

NOTE. — Thirty-six years have pass- 
ed since Esau's marriage and the twin 
brothers both remain in their father's 
household. Jacob is now 77 years old 
and unmarried, and there seems no 
probability that his purchased birth- 
right will be of any avail to him. 
Isaac is 137 years old, the age at 
which his half-brother Ishmael died. 
His sight is failing, he feels the ap- 
proach of death. Hence he is now 
possessed with a strong desire to 
bless his eldest son. He seems to be 
wholly unmindful of the prophecy in 
Gen. 25:23, therefore he willfully 
purposes to give the firstborn his 
dying benediction. But in his at- 
tempt, which is a negligent disregard 
of prophecy, he is strangely over- 
ruled by the power of God, through 
the craftiness of Rebekah.

8. To curse, signifies to imprecate, 
to call for mischief upon, or wish 
evil to one. To cause to be visited 
with a just punishment as a retribu- 
tion for some sin. Rebekah has no 
fear in this line. She is either sure 
that it is the divine will for Jacob 
to receive the blessing, or she is 
willing to run any risk to obtain it 
for him.

he took to wife Ju'dith the daughter of Be-e'ri 
the Hit'tite, and Bash'e-math the daughter of 
E'lon the Hit'tite: 

35 Which were a grief of mind unto Tsaac

CHAPTER 27. 
1 Isaac sendeth Esau for venison. 6 Rebekah 
instructeth Jacob to obtain the blessing. 
15 Jacob under the person of Esau obtaineth 
it. 30 Esau bringeth venison, and by impor- 
tunity obtaineth a blessing. 41 He threatcn- 
eth Jacob. 

1 And it came to pass, that when "I'saac was 
old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could 
not see, he called 2 E'sau his eldest son, and 
said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, 
Behold, here am I. 

2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I 
"know not the day of my death : 

3 Now therefore 3 take, I pray thee, thy 
weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out 
to the field, and take me some "venison; 

4 And make me "savoury meat, such as I 
love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that 
my soul may bless thee before I die. 

5_And °Re-bek'ah heard when I'saac spake 
to E'sau his son. And E'sau went to the field 
to hunt for venison, and to oring it. 

6 If And Re-bek'ah spake unto 7 Ja'cob her 
son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak 
unto E'sau thy brother, saying. 

7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury 
meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before 
the Lord before my death. 

8 Now therefore, my son, 6 obey my voice 
according to that which I command thee. 

9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from 
thence two good kids of the goats; and I 
will make them savoury ''meat for thy father, 
such as he loveth: 

10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, 
that he may eat, and that he may bless thee 
before his death. 

11 And 'Ja'cob said to Re-bek'ah his mother, 
Behold, E'sau my brother is a hairy man, and 
I am a smooth man: 

12 My father peradventure will feel me, and 
I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall 
bring 8 a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 

13 And his mother said unto him, Upon 'me 
be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, 
and go fetch me them. 

14 And he went, and fetched, and brought 
them to his mother: and his mother made 
^savoury meat, such as his father loved. 

15 And c Re-bek'ah took goodly raiment of 
her eldest son 2 E'sau, which were with her in 
the house, and put them upon 'Ja'cob her 
younger son. 

16 And she put the skins of the kids of the 
goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of 
his neck:

And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in 
heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon 
like a jasper and a sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round 
about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. (Rev. 4:2, 3.) 

k. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call 
upon the name of the Lord. (Ps. 116:17.) And it came to pass at that 
time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his hosts, spake 
unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee and all that thou doest. Now, 
therefore, swear unto me here by God, that thou wilt not deal falsely 
with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son; but according to the

father; and he felt him, and said, The voice 
is 7 J_a'cob's voice, but the hands are the hands 
of "E'sau. 

23 And he discerned him not, because his 
'hands were hairy, as his" brother E'sau's 
hands: so he blessed him.

: E'sau? And he said, I am.

will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may 
bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and 
he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he 
drank. 

26 And his father i'saac said unto him, 
Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 

27 And he came near, and kissed him: and 
he smelled the smell of his raiment, and 
blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son 
is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath 
blessed : 

28 Therefore God give thee of the 10 dew of 
heaven, and the "fatness of the earth, and 
"plenty of corn and wine:

down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and 
let thy mother's sons bow down to thee:

of I'saac his father, that "E'sau "his brother 
came in from his hunting.

brought it unto his father, and said unto his 
father, Let my father arise, and eat of his

blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, 
Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters

11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and 
tarried there all night, because the sun was 
set; and he took of the stones of that place, 
and put them for his pillows, and lay down 
in that place to sleep. 

12 And he dreamed, and behold a 10 ladder 
set up on the earth, and the top of it reached 
to heaven: and behold the angels of God as- 
cending and descending on it. 

13 And, f behold, the Lord stood above it, 
and said, I am the Lord_ God of A'bra-ham thy 
father, and the God of I'saac: the land where-

oil upon the top of it.

symbol of the communication with

deception, gave unto Jacob, Leah, his

then compelled J. to serve him an- 
other seven years for the hand of R. 
Together with her many charms, R. 
seems to have possessed many traits 
of character which were not attrac-

1 Then Ma'cob went on his journey, and 
came into the land of the people of the east. 

2 And he looked, and behold a well in the 
field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep 
lying by it; for out of that well they watered 
the flocks: and a great stone was upon the 
well's mouth. 

3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: 
and they rolled the stone from the well's 
mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the 
stone again upon the well's mouth in his place. 

4 And Ja'cob said unto them, My brethren, 
whence be ye? And they said, Of Ha'ran are 
we. 

5 And he said unto them, Know ye 2 La'ban 
the son of Na'hor? And they said, We know 
him. 

6 And he said unto them, Is he well? And 
they said, He is well: and, behold, 3 Ra'chel his 
daughter cometh with the sheep. 

7 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, 
neither is it time that the cattle should be 
gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go 
and feed them. 

8 And they said, We cannot, until all the 
flocks be gathered together, and till they roll 
the stone from the well's mouth; then we 
water the sheep. 

9 If And while he yet spake with them, 3 Ra'- 
chel came with her father's sheep : for she 
kept them. 

10 And it came to pass, when Ja'cob saw 
3 Ra'chel the daughter of 2 La'ban his mother's 
brother, and the sheep of La'ban his mother's 
brother, that Ja'cob went near, and rolled the 
stone from the well's mouth, and watered the 
flock of La'ban his mother's brother. 

11 And Ja'cob kissed 3 Ra'chel, and lifted 
up his voice, and wept. 

12 And Ja'cob told Ra'chel that he was her 
father's brother, and that he was Re-bek'ah's 
son: and she ran and told her father. 

13 And it came to pass, when La'ban heard 
the tidings of Ja'cob his sister's son, that he 
ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed 
him, and brought him to his house. And he 
told La'ban 4 all these things.

her to thee, than that I should give her to 
another man : abide with me. 

20 And Ja'cob served seven years for 2 Ra'-

days, for the Move he had to her. 

21 r And a Ja'cob said unto "La'ban, Give me 
my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may 
go in unto her. 

22 And La'ban gathered together all the 
men of the place, and made a feast. 

23 And it came to pass in the evening, that 
he took °Le'ah his daughter, and brought her 
to him; and he went in unto her. 

24 And La'ban gave unto his daughter Le'ah 
Zil'pah his maid for an handmaid. 

25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, 
behold, it was Le'ah : and he said to La'ban, 
What is this thou hast done unto me? did not 
I serve with thee for Ra'chel? wherefore then 
hast thou 5 beguiled me? 

26 And La'ban said, It must not be so done 
in our country, to give the younger before the 
firstborn. 

27 Fulfil 9 her week, and we will give thee 
this also for the service which thou shalt 
serve with me yet seven other years.

was "barren.

die. 

2 And Ma'cob's 3 anger was kindled against 
Ra'chel: and he said, Am I in God's 6 stead, 
who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the 
womb? 

3 And she said, Behold °my maid 'Bil'hah, 
go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my 
knees, that I may also have children by her. 

4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid 
to wife: and Ja'cob went in unto her. 

5 And Bil'hah conceived, and bare Ma'cob

evening, and °Le'ah went out to meet him, and 
said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely

a. Thus have I been 20 years in thy house: I served thee 14 
years for thy two daughters, and 6 years for thy cattle: and thou hast 
changed my wages ten times. (Gen. 31:41.) And David sent messengers 
to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal. which 
I espoused to me for 100 foreskins of the Philistines. (II Sam. 3:14.) 

b. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: 
if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would 
utterly be condemned. (Sol. S:7.) 

c. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the 
womb is his reward. (Ps. 127:3.) 

d. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people 
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their* task- 
masters: for I know their sorrows. (Ex. 3:7.) And when we cried unto 
the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on 
our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression. (Dt. 26:7.) Never- 
theless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry. (Ps. 
106:44.) 



Chapter 30. 

a. For wrath killeth the foolish man. and envy slayeth tt-: silly 
one. (Job 5:2.) A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the 
rottenness of the bones. (Prov. 14:30.) Set me as a seal upon thine 
heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death; . jea": 

is cruel as the grave; the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath 
a most vehement flame. (Sol. Sc6.) 

b. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned; 
behold, the judge standeth before the door. (Ja. 5:9.) 

b. But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Han- 
nah; but the Lord had shut up her womb. (I Sam. 1:5.) 

c. And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained 
me from bearing. I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I

hire, because I have given my maiden to my 
husband: and she called his name "Is'sa-char. 

19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Ja'- 
cob the sixth son. 

20 And Le'ah said, God hath endued me 
with a good dowry; now will my husband 
dwell with me, because I have born him six 
sons: and she called his name 13 Zeb'u-lun. 

21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and 
called her name "Di'nah. 

22 K And God f remembered Rachel, and God 
hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 

23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and 
said, God hath taken away my reproach : 

24 And she called his name 15 J6'seph: and 
said, The Lord shall add to me another son. 

25 1i And it came to pass, when ^a'chel 
had born Jo'§eph, that 2 Ja'cob said unto 16 La'- 
ban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine 
own place, and to my country. 

26 Give me my wives and my children, for 
whom I have served thee, and let me go: for 
thou knowest my service which I have done 
thee. 

27 And "La'ban said unto him, I pray thee, 
if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: 
for I have learned by experience that the Lord 
hath blessed me for thy sake. 

28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and 
I will give it. 

29 And he said unto him, fThou knowest 
how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was 
with me. 

30 For it was little which thou hadst before 
I came, and it is now increased unto a multi- 
tude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my 
coming: and now when shall I ^provide for 
mine own house also? 

31 And he said, What shall I give thee? 
And 2 Ja'cob said, Thou shalt not give me any 
thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I 
will again feed and keep thy flock. 

32 I will pass through all thy flock today, 
removing from thence all the speckled and 
spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among 
the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among 
the goats : and of such shall be my hire. 

33 So shall my ''righteousness answer for 
me in time to come, when it shall come for my 
hire before thy face: every one that is not 
"speckled and spotted among the goats, and

15. Son of Jacob and Rachel, the 
particular favorite of his father, 
which partially excited jealousy on 
the part of his half-brothers. When 
Joseph was but 17 years old, he told 
his father of some conduct on the 
part of his half-brothers which he 
thought needed his father's attention. 
This served to intensify the enmity 
which his brothers held toward him. 
Their aversion reached its highest 
pitch when he later acquainted 
them with two dreams which he had, 
indicating his own pre-eminence in 
the family. His brothers now be- 
came filled with envy uncontrollable, 
and when his father sent him out to 
Shechem to see how his brothers were 
faring with the flocks, they devised 
means for his immediate destruction, 
which they would unhesitatingly 
have carried into effect but for Reu- 
ben, his half-brother. A compromise 
was finally effected and J. cast into 
a pit. This deed seems to have been 
ci>mmitted just before dinner, and 
while the brothers were eating, they 
beheld a caravan of Arabian mer- 
chants bearing loads to India. Judah 
now proposes that they sell J. 
to the merchants. Accordingly the 
unhappy youth was sold into slavery 
by his brothers. To punish their fa- 
ther for his partiality, the brothers 
dipped J.'s garment into the blood 
of a kid and sent it to Jacob to make 
him believe that his favorite child 
had been killed by some wild beast. 
The merchants sold Joseph to Poti- 
phar, an officer of Pharoah's court. 
He soon became a favorite among the 
Egyptians and was put in complete 
control of P.'s household. Because 
he refused to engage in the sinful 
wishes of P.'s wife, she swore false- 
ly against him to her husband and 
had J. cast into prison, but here he 
soon gained distinction and was 
placed in control of the prison. Two 
prisoners — the chief of the king's 
butlers and the chief of the bakers — 
each had a dream, which was inter- 
preted to them by J. The interpre- 
tation came true, and when, later, 
Pharoah had a dream he was told by 
the chief butler of J.'s ability. Pha- 
roah, failing to get an interpretation 
from the wise men and magicians, 
sent a messenger for J., who, with- 
out hesitation, rendered unto P. an 
interpretation, which, according to 
J., foreboded the approach of a seven 
years' famine, to abate the evils of 
which he recommended that some 
discreet and wise man should be put 
in full power over Egypt. P. was 
alarmed and called a council of hia 
advisers, all of whom seemed to rec- 
ognize the fact that J.'s wisdom was 
of divine origin, consequently se- 



brown among the sheep, that shall be counted 
stolen with me. 

34 And I6 La'ban said, Behold, I would it 
might be according to thy word. 

35 And he removed that day the he goats 
that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the 
she goats that were speckled and spotted, and 
every one that had some white in it, and all 
the brown among the sheep, and gave them 
into the hand of his sons. 

36 And is he set three days' journey betwixt 
himself and 2 Ja'cob: and Ja'cob fed the rest of 
l6 La.'ban's flocks. 

37 1[And Ja'cob took him 19 rods of green 
poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and 
Spilled white strakes in them, and made the 
white appear which was in the rods. 

38 And he set the rods which he had pilled 
before the flocks in the gutters in the watering 
troughs when the flocks came to drink, that 
they should conceive when they came to drink. 

39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, 
and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, 
and spotted. 

40 And 2 Ja'cob did separate the lambs, and 
set the faces of the flocks toward the ring- 
straked, and all the brown in the flock of 
"La'ban; and he put his own flocks by them- 
selves, and put them not unto La/ban's cattle. 

41 And it came to pass, whensoever the 
stronger cattle did conceive, that 2 Ja'cob laid 
the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the 
gutters, that they might conceive among the 
rods. 

42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put 
them not in: so the feebler were 1G La'ban's, 
and the stronger 2 Ja'cob's. 

43 And the man increased exceedingly, and 
had much cattle, and maidservants, and men- 
servants, and camels, and asses.

19 Rachel stealeth her father's images. 
22 Laban pursueth after him, 26 and com- 
plaineth of the wrong. 34 Rachel's policy to 
hide the images. 36 Jacob's complaint of 
Laban. 43 The covenant of Laban and Ja- 
cob at Galeed. 
1 And a he a heard the words of 2 La'ban's 

sons, saying, 3 Ja'cob hath taken away all that 



lected him as dictator for the ap- 
proaching time of need. He was 
made ruler over all Egypt. P. called 
J.'s name Zaphnathpaaneah. mean- 
ing, "savior of the world." The 
seven years of abundance which pre- 
ceded the seven years of famine, 
gave J. opportunity to provide against 
the famine. "And all countries came 
Into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn." 
(Gen. 41:57.) Soon Jacob's sons were 
forced to go down into E. for corn. 
As soon as J. saw them he recognized 
them and tested them severely to 
prove their love for his father and 
younger brother Benjamin. After 
their second visit he had them go 
back for their father, bring him with 
all their families and herds and live 
in Goshen under the protection of 
Pharoah and himself. J. lived 110 
years. His character was singularly 
amiable and free from fault. He was 
a true son, true brother and true ser- 



vant. Always loyal and faithful, 
disinterested and sincere, modest and 
considerate, he won the esteem of 
everybody. He was always obedient 
to duty, never complaining but al- 
ways working. In misfortune he was 
resigned, temptations he resisted. He 
had a lively sense of dependence 
upon God and his duty toward him. 
J. was a type of Christ; the be- 
loved of his father; sent by his fa- 
ther on an errand to his brethren; 
without fault; sold by his brethren 
for money; thence exalted to their 
lord, their saviour, the saviour of 
multitudes unknown to him, of the 
world; all of which took place in 
spite of the disgraceful sin of his 
brethren, his sale and his destruc- 
tion, which was overruled, not neces- 
sitated. Without offense on his part, 
J. was committed to prison with two 
criminals; he foretold the release of 
one and the execution of the other. 



Christ was crucified between two 
thieves; he saves one and condemns 
the other. (Longman.) In his his- 
tory we have a striking illustration 
of the fact that truth is stranger than 
fiction. He was buried with Abra- 
ham, Isaac and Jacob.

17. The Assyrian sheep are said 
to be almost always white, therefore 
it would seem that Jacob was giving 
Laban most all the fruits of his la- 
bor, L. not being able to divine the 
intention in J.'s heart. 

18. Laban. While Jacob had to 
tend L.'s flocks, L. sought to take 
advantage of him, not only by sep- 
arating them himself, fearing to trust 
J., but separated his own from J.'s 
flock a three days' journey, thus 
seeking every advantage. 

19. Jacob avails himself of what 
was known at that time to be a well 
established fact, that impressive col- 



ors fixed upon the attention of the 
mother are almost sure to mark the 
offspring. 

2G. Peeled or cut in places to 
make spotted.

NOTE.— Ch. 31 records Jacob's 
flight from his uncle and father-in- 
law, Laban. Twenty years have 
passed since J. first came to L.'s 
home. Alone he came, but now he 
has developed into a multitude. 
Twelve children have been born unto 
him, everything has prospered in his 
herds, his flocks are numbered by the 
hundreds. His family and their in- 
terests have developed to such pro- 
portion that he and L. can no longer 
dwell together. He is therefore call- 
ed to separate, as was Abraham 200 
years before.

thou my cause. (Lam. 3:59.) 

e. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the 
cattle that was with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over 
the earth, and the waters asswaged. (Gen. 8:1.) And they rose up in 
the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and 
came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; 
and the Lord remembered her. (I Sam. 1:19.) 

f. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath 
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 
(Math. 24:45.) Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they 
may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. (Titus 2:10.) 

g. But if any provide not for his own and specially for those of his 
own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. (I 
Tim. 5:8.) 



h. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy 
judgment as the noonday. (Ps. 37:6.) The' righteousness of the per- 
fect shall direct his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wicked- 
ness (5). The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but 
transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness (6). The wicked 
worketh a deceitful work; but to him that soweth righteousness shall be 
a sure reward. (Prov. 11:5, 6, 18.) 

Chapter 31. 

a. For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly 
one. (Job 5:2.) A sound heart is the life of the flesh; but envy the rotten- 
ness of the bones. (Prov. 14:30.) Again, I considered all travail, and 
every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This 
is also vanity and vexation of spirit. (Ecc. 4:4.) Let us walk honestly, 
as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and 
wantonness, not in strife and envying. (Rom. 13:13.) But the tongue 
can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. (Ja. 3:8.)

2 La'ban, and, behold, it was not toward him as 
before. 

3 And the Lord said unto Ja'cob, Return 
'unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kin- 
dred; and I will be with thee. 

4 And "Ja'cob sent and called 'Ra'chel and 
:, Le'ah to the field unto his flock, 

5 And said unto them, I see your father's 
"countenance, that it is not toward me as be- 
fore; but the God of my father e hath been 
with me. 

6 And ye know that with all my power I 
have served your father. 

7 And your father hath 'deceived me, and 
changed 'my wages s ten times; but God ^suf- 
fered him not to hurt me. 

8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy 
wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and 
if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy 
hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked. 

9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of 
your father, and given them to me. 

10 And it came to pass at the time that the 
cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, 
and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams 
which leaped upon -the cattle were ringstraked, 
speckled, and grisled. 

11 And the angel of God spake unto me in 
a dream, saying, 3 Ja'cob: And I said, Here 
am I. 

12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and 
see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle 
are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I 
''have "seen all that 2 La'ban doeth unto thee. 

13 I am the God of lu Beth'-el, where thou 
anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst 
a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from 
this land, and return unto the land of thy 
kindred. 

14 And 'Ra'chel and 5 Le'ah answered and 
said unto him, Is there yet any portion or in- 
heritance for us in our father's house? 

15 Are we not counted of him strangers? 
for 'he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured 
also our money.

all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle

he fled. 

21 So he fled with all that he had; and he 
rose up, and passed over the river, and set 
his face toward the mount Gile-ad. 

22 And it was told -La'ban on the third 
day that Ja'cob was fled. 

23 And he took his 'brethren with him, and 
pursued after him seven days' journey; and 
they overtook him in the mount Gil'e-ad. 

24 And God came to La'ban the Syr'i-an in 
a dream by night, and said unto him, Take 
heed that thou speak not to Ja'cob "either 
good or bad. 

25 r Then "La'ban overtook Ma'cob. Now 
Ja'cob had pitched his tent in the mount: and 
La ban with his brethren pitched in the mount 
of Gil'e-ad. 

26 And La'ban said to Ja'cob, What hast 
thou done, that thou hast stolen away un- 
awares to me, and carried away my daughters, 
as captives taken with the sword? 

27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, 
and steal away from me; and didst not tell 
me, that I might have sent thee away with 
mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with 
harp? 

28 And hast not 'suffered me to kiss my 
sons and my daughters? thou hast now done 
foolishly in so doing. 

29 It is in the power of my hand to do you 
hurt: but the God of your father spake unto 
me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that 
thou speak not to Ja'cob either good or bad. 

30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be 
gone, because thou sore longedst after thy 
father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen 
my gods? 

31 And Ja cob answered and said to : La'- 
ban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Perad- 
venture thou wouldest take by force thy daugh- 
ters from me. 

32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, 
let him not 'live: before our brethren discern 
thou what is thine with me, and take it to 
thee. For Ja'cob knew not that 4 Ra'chel had 
stolen them. 

33 And La'ban went into Ja'cob's tent, and 
into Le'ah's tent, and into the two maid- 
servants' tents; but he found them not. Then 
went he out of Le'ah's tent, and entered into 
Ra'chel's tent.

put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon 
them. And La'ban searched all the tent, but 
found them not.

(Gen. 28:15.) And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God 
of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy 
country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee. (Gen. 32:9.) 

e. And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the 
chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee

thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, 
I will help thee; I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteous- 
ness. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content 
with such things as ye have; for he hath said, I will never. leave thee 
nor forsake thee. (Heb. 13:5.) Be strong and of a good courage, fear 
not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth 
go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) 
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can 
be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) And, behold, I am. with thee, and will 
keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again

for their sakes. (Ps. 105:14.) And they journeyed: and the terror of 
God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not 
pursue after the sons of Jacob. (Gen. 35:5.) He will not suffer thy 
foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber (3). The Lord 
shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall preserve thy soul. (Ps. 
121:3, 7.) 

h. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people 
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task- 
masters; for I know their sorrows. (Ex. 3:7.) At his day thou shalt 
give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it: for he is poor, 
and setteth his heart upon it; lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, 
and it be sin unto thee. (Dt. 24:15.) For the oppression of the poor, 
for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will 
set him in safety from him "that puffeth at him. (Ps. 12:5.) 

i. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, 
shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught? Tell me, what shall 
thy wages be? (Gen. 29:15.) 

j. With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die. 
and we also will be my lord's bondmen. (Gen. 44:9.)

-La'ban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, 
that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 

37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, 
what hast thou found of all thy household 
stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy 
brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. 

38 This twenty years have I been with 
thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not 
cast their young, and the rams of thy flock 
have I not eaten. 

39 That which was torn of beasts I brought 
not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my 
hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by 
day, or stolen by night. 

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought con- 
sumed me, and the frost by night; and my 
sleep departed from mine eyes. 

41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy 
house; I served '"thee fourteen years for thy 
two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: 
and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 

42 Except the God of my father, the God of 
1T A'bra-ham, and- the fear of "I'saac, had been 
with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now 
empty. God "hath seen mine affliction and the 
labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yester- 
night. 

43 H And 2 La'ban answered and said unto 
s Ja'cob, These daughters are my daughters, 
and these children are my children, and these 
cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is 
mine: and what can I do this day unto these 

•my daughters, or unto their children which 
they have born? 

44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a 
'"covenant, I and thou ; and let °it be for a wit- 
ness between me and thee. 

45 And 3 Ja'cob took a stone, and set it up 
for a pillar. 

46 And Ja'cob said unto his brethren, Gather 
stones; and they took stones, and made an 
heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 

47 And 2 La'ban called it ia Je'gar-sa-ha-du'- 
tha: but Ja'cob called it 20 Gal'e-ed. 

48 And La'ban said, This heap is a witness 
between me and thee this day. Therefore was 
the name of it called Gal'e-ed; 

49 And 21 Miz'pah; for he said, The Lord 
watch between me and thee, when we are 
absent one from another. 

50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if 
thou shalt take other wives beside my daugh- 
ters, no man is with us; see, God is witness 
betwixt me and thee. 

51 And 2 La'ban said to 3 Ja'cob, Behold this 
heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast 
betwixt me and thee; 

52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be 
witness, that I will not pass over this heap 
to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over 
this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm, 

53 The God of "A'bra-ham, and the God of 
Na'hor, the God of their father, judge betwixt 
us. And 3 Ja'cob sware by the fear of his 
father "I'saac.

Abram. a Hebrew word, meaning high

being his original name, but which 
afterward by Jehovah was extended 
to Abraham, meaning father of a mul-

at this time, of a numerous poster- 
ity. (Gen. 37:1-5.) A. was a na- 
tive of Chaldea and descended 
through Heber in the uinth genera- 
tion from Shem. the son of Noah. His 
father was Terah.

NOTE. — In this ch. Jacob ap- 
proaches the great crisis in his life. 
After 20 years nbsence from the land 
of promise he returns upon its eastern 
border. As the angel of God was 
with him on his departure and prom- 
ised to bring him back, it now meets 
him again upon his return. 

1. See 9, ch. 25. 

2. In the absence of any mention 
being made of a dream the majority 
of the critics argue that in this in- 
stance Jacob had an open vision and. 
as Elijah, he beheld a host of the 
angels of God round about him. 

3. That is, two hosts or camps, his 
own and that of the angels.

6. Not knowing what Jacob's mes- 
sage meant. Esau did not propose to 
be over-reached by him again. So 
he takes 400 of his followers or 
warriors and proceeds to meet Jacob. 

7. Twenty years before Jacob fled 
from his brother to prevent his kill- 
ing him; and, not knowing whether 
Esau had forgiven him or not, well 
he might tremble when told that his 
brother was coming with 400 war- 
riors.

of a fearful soul. It is believed 
he makes the following points: (1) 
He appeals to the God of his fathers; 
(2) he uses the covenant-name Je- 
hovah; (3) he pleads the promises 
made; (4) he humbly acknowledges 
the mercies of God; (5) he honors 
the fidelity of God and bemoans the 
infidelity of himself; (6) he ac- 
knowledges his prosperity as a bless- 
ing from God; (7) he prays for de- 
liverance from Esau; (8) he is hon- 
est and Confesses his fears; (9) he 
pleads for the mothers and their chil-

the promises the second time.

saying, We came to thy brother 4 E'sau, and

7 Then Ja'cob was greatly 'afraid and dis- 
tressed: and he f divided the people that was 
with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the 
camels, into two bands;

pany, and smite it, then the other company 
which is left shall escape.

well with thee:

mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast 
shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I 
passed over this Jor'dan; and now I am be-

11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand 
of my brother, from the hand of 4 E'sau: for I

good, and make thy seed as the sand of the 
sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, 
and ten foals.

m. Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also for the service 
which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. (Gen. 29:37.)

which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task- 
masters; for I know their sorrows. (Ex. 3:7.) Remembering mine af- 
fliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath 
them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. (Lam. 3:19, 20.) Thou 
calledst in trouble and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret 
place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Ps. 81:7.)

a. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in 
all thy ways. (Ps. 91:11.) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent 
forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) 
The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and 
delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.)

his pleasure. (Ps. 103:21.) Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him,

have rebelled against him. (Dan. 9:9.) And refused to obey, neither 
were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hard- 
ened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return 
to their bondage; but thou art, a God ready to pardon, gracious and 
merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness, and forsookest them 
not. (Neh. 9:17.) But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou 
mayest be feared (4). Let Israel hope in the Lord; for with the Lord 
there is mercy; and with him is plenteous redemption. (Ps. 130:4,7.)

E'sau : and, behold, also he is behind us. 

19 And so commanded he the second, and 
the third, and all that followed the droves, 
saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto 
Esau, when ye find him. 

20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant 
•Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will "ap- 
pease him with the present that goeth before 
me, and afterward I will see his face; perad- 
venture he will accept of me. 

21 So went the present over before him: and 
himself lodged that night in the company. 

22 And he rose up that night, and took his 
two wives, and his two womenservants, and 
his eleven sons, and passed over the ford 
Jab'bok. 

23 And he took them, and sent them over 
the brook, and sent over that he bad. 

24 r And Ja'cob was left alone; and there 
i: wrestled a man with him until the breaking 
of the day. 

25 And when he saw that he prevailed not 
against him, he ^touched the hollow of his 
thigh; and the hollow of 'Ja'cob's thigh was 
out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 

26 And he said, Let me go, for the day 
breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee 
go, except thou bless me. 

27 And he said unto him, What is thy 
name? And he said. Ja'cob. 

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called 
no more Ja'cob, but Is'ra-el: for as a prince 
hast thou power with God and with men, and 
hast prevailed. 

29 And Ja'cob asked him, and said, Tell me. 
I pray thee, thy name? And he said, Where- 
fore is it that thou dost ask after my name? 
And he blessed him there. 

30 And 'Jacob called the name of the place 
"Pe-nl'el : for I have seen ''God face to face, 
and my life is preserved. 

31 And as he passed over Pe-nu'el the sun 
rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 

32 Therefore the children of Is'ra-el eat not 
of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the 
hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he 
touched the hollow of Ja'cob's thigh in the 
sinew that shrank.

1 The kindness of Jacob and Esau at their 
meeting. 17 Jacob cometh to Succoth. 
18 At Shalem he bv.yeth a field, and buildeth 
an altar called El-elohe-Israel. 

1 And -Ja'cob lifted up his eyes, and looked, 
and, behold, 'E'sau came, and with him four 
hundred men. And he divided the children 
unto : Le'ah, and unto 4 Ra'chel, and unto the 
two handmaids. 

2 And he put the handmaids and their chil- 
dren foremost, and Le'ah and her children 
after, and Ra'chel and -Jo'seph J hindermost. 

3 And he passed over before them, and 
bowed himself to the ground seven times, until 
he came near to his brother.

NOTE. — In ch. 34 is recorded Ja- 
cob's or Israel's first bitter fruits in 
contact with the heathen. Shecbem. | 
son of Hamor. having seduced J.'s 
daughter Dinah, desires to obtain her 
in marriage. Her brothers agree. ; 
upon one condition, but soon after 
Simeon and Levi fall upon the house 
of Hamor and slay them all. Here 
the transaction seems to pass from a 
personal character to a national sig- 
nificance. 



1. Daughter of Jacob and Leah: 
full sister of Simeon and Levi. While 
Jacob's camp was in the neighbor- 
hood of Shechem. she was seduced by 
S.. the son of Hamor. Her" hand was 
sought in marriage, which was agreed 
upon by her brothers, only upon the 
condition that all the inhabitants 
should become circumcised. This was 
conceded, but the third day Simeon 
and Levi fell upon the town and slew 
all the people. (Gen. 34:25. 26. . Of 
Dinah's subsequent life nothing is 
known. 

2. See 6. ch. 29. 



4 And E'sau ran to meet him, and embraced 
him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and 
they wept. 

5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the 
women and the children; and said, Who are 
those with thee? And he said, The children 
which "God "hath graciously given thy servant. 

6 Then the handmaidens came near, they 
and their children, and they bowed themselves. 

- And Le'ah also with her children came 
near, and bowed themselves: and after came 
Jo'seph near and Ra'chel, and they bowel 
themselves. 

8 And he said, What meanest thou by all 
this drove which I met? And he said, These 
are 6 to find ,y grace in the sight of my lord. 

9 And E'sau said, I have enough, my broth- 
er; keep that thou hast unto thyself. 

10 And 'Jacob said, Nay. I pray thee, if 
now I have found grace in thy sight, then 
receive my present at my hand: for therefore 
I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the 
face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. 

11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is 
brought to thee; because God hath dealt gra- 
ciously with me, and because I have enough. 
And he urged him, and he took it. 

12 And he said, Let us take our journey, 
and let us go, and I will go before thee. 

13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth 
that the children are tender, and the flocks 
and herds with young are with me: and if 
men should overdrive them one day, all the. 
flock will die. 

14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over be- 
fore his servant: and I will lead on softly. 
according as the cattle that goeth before me 
and the children be able to endure, until I 
come unto my lord unto Se'ir. 

15 And 'Esau said, Let me now leave with 
thee some of the folk that are with me. And 
he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in 
the sight of my lord. 

16 r So E'sau returned that day on his way 
unto Se'ir. 

17 And 'Ja'cob journeyed to Sue coth, and 
built him an house, and made booths for his 
cattle: therefore the name of the place is 
called Succoth. 

18 r And Ja'cob came to Shalem, a city 
She'chem, which is in the land of Canaan, 
when he came from Pa'dan-a'ram; and pitched 
his tent before the city. 

19 And he bought a "parcel of a field, where 
he had spread his tent, at the hand of the chil- 
dren of r Ha'mor, She'chem's father, for an 
hundred pieces of money. 

20 And he erected there an altar, and ^called 
it El-e-loTie-Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER 34. 
1 Dinah is ravished by Shechem. 4 He 
to marry her. 13 The sons of Jacob 
the condition of circumcision to the Shc- 
chemites. 20 Hamor and Shechem -per- 
suade them to accept it. 25 The son? of Ja- 
cob upon that advantage slay them, 27 and 
spoil their city. 30 Jacob reproveth Simeon 
and Levi. 

1 And "Di'nah the daughter of Tye'ah, which 
she bare unto "Jacob, went out to see the 
daughters of the land. 

2 And when She'chem the son of Ha'mor 
the Hi'vite, prince of the country, saw her. 



h. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man 
see me and live. (Ex. 33:20.) And ye said. Behold, the Lord our God 
hath shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice 
out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that Goa doth talk 
with man, and he liveth. (Dt. 5:24.) And Manoah said unto his wife. 
We shall surely die, because we have seen God. (Jud. 13:22.) Then said 
I. Woe is me! for I am undone: because I am a man of unclean lips, 
and I dwell in the midst of people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have 
seen the King, the Lord of hosts. (Is. 6:5.) 

Chapter 33. 

a. And Joseph said unto his father. They are my sons, whom God 



hath given me in this place. And he said. Bring them, I pray thee, unto 
me, and I will bless them. (Gen. 45:9.) Lo. children are an heritage 
of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (Ps. 127:3.) Be- 
hold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and 
for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in Mt. 
Zion. (Is. S :1S. 1 

b. See ch. 32:5. 

c. Called Emmor in Acts 7:16.

brother. (Gen. 35:7.)

he took her, and lay with her, and Mefiled her. 

3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daugh- 
ter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and 
spake kindly unto the damsel. 

4 And She'chem spake unto his father Ha'- 
mor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. 

5 And 3 Ja'cob heard that he had denied 
'Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with 
his cattle in the field: and Ja'cob held his 
peace until they were come. 

6 ^And Ha'mor the father of She'chem 
went out unto Ja'cob to commune with him. 

7 And the sons of "Ja'cob came out of the 
field when they heard it: and the men were 
grieved, and they were "very wroth, because 
he had wrought 6 folly in Is'ra-el in lying with 
Ja'cob's daughter; which c thing ought not to 
be done. 

8 And Ha'mor communed with them, say- 
ing, The soul of my son She'chem longeth for 
your daughter: I pray you give her him to 
wife. 

9 And make d ye marriages with us, and give 
your daughters unto us, and take our daugh- 
ters unto you. 

10 And ye shall dwell with us : and the land 
shall be before you ; dwell and trade ye therein, 
and get you possessions therein. 

11 And She'chem said unto her father and 
unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your 
eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will 
give. 

12 Ask me never so much e dowry and gift, 
and I will give according as ye shall say unto 
me: but give me the damsel to wife. 

13 And the sons of = Ja'cob answered She'- 
chem and Ha'mor his father ^deceitfully, and 
said, because he had defiled Di'nah their sis- 
ter: 

14 And they said unto them, We cannot do 
this thing, to give our sister to one that is 
imcircumcised; for that were a reproach 
unto us: 

15 But in this wiri we consent unto you: If 
ye will be as we be, that every male of you be 
'-''circumcised; 

16 Then will we give our daughters unto 
you, and we will take your daughters to us, 
and we will dwell with you, and we will be- 
come one people. 



3. See 9, ch. 25. 



4. Humbled, outraged, seduced. 



5. Appointed by God as a token 
of the covenant between him and 
Abraham. It was ordained to be per- 
formed on himself, on his descendants 
and slaves, as well as strangers join- 
ing themselves to the Hebrew na- 
tion to sig. their participation in the 
benefits of the covenant and their 
acceptance of its obligations. 



6. Simeon, second son of Jacob 
and Leah. Only two incidents in his 
life are related in the Book of Gen. 
One is that with his brother Levi, he 
massacred the Shechemites in re- 
venge for the dishonor of his sister 
Dinah: the other is. that Joseph re- 
tained him in Egypt as security that 
his brothers would return with Ben- 
jamin. 



7. Third son of Jacob and Leah, 
who. with his brother Simeon, 
avenged the wrong done to their sis- 
ter Dinah, for which a curse was pro- 
nounced upon them. 



17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be 
circumcised; then will we take our daughter, 
and we will be gone. 

18 And their words pleased Ha'mor, and 
She'chem Ha'mor's son. 

19 And the young man deferred not to do 
the thing, because he had delight in 3 Ja'cob's 
daughter: and he was more honourable than 
all the house of his father. 

20 1i And Ha'mor and She'chem his son 
came unto the gate of their city, and com- 
muned with the men of their city, saying, 

21 These men are peaceable with us; there- 
fore let them dwell in the land, and trade 
therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough 
for them; let us take their daughters to us 
for wives, and let us give them our daughters. 

22 Only herein will the men consent unto 
us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if 
every male among us be circumcised, as they 
are circumcised. 

23 Shall not their cattle and their substance 
and every beast of their's be our's? only let 
us consent unto them, and they will dwell 
with us. 

24 And unto Ha'mor and unto She'chem his 
son hearkened all that went out of the gate of 
his city; and every male was circumcised, all 
that went out of the gate of his city. 

25 If And it came to pass on the third day, 
when they were sore, that two of the sons of 
Ja'cob, Sim'e-on ''and Le'vi, Di'nah's brethren, 
took each man his sword, and came upon the 
city boldly, and slew all the males. 

26 And they slew Ha'mor and She'chem his 
son with the edge of the sword, and took 
Di'nah out of She'chem's house and went out. 

27 The sons of 3 Ja'cob came upon the slain, 
and spoiled the city, because they had defiled 
their sister. 

28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, 
and their asses, and that which was in the 
city, and that which was in the field, 

29 And all their wealth, and all their little 
ones, and their wives took they captive, and 
spoiled even all that was in the house. 

30 And Ma'cob said to c SIm'e-on and 'Le'vi, 
Ye have 'troubled me to make me to stink 
among the inhabitants of the land, among the 
Ca'naan-Ites and the Per'iz-zltes : and I being 



Chapter 34. 

a. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for 
it was cruel; I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. 
(Gen. 49:7.) But when king David heard of all these things, he was 
very wroth. (II Sam. 13:21.) For wrath killeth the foolish man, and 
envy slayeth the silly one. (Job 5:2.) Cease from anger, and forsake 
wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. (Ps. 37:8.) He that is 
soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated 
(17). He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding; but he that 
is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. (Prov. 14:17, 29.) Be not hasty in thy 
spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. (Ecc. 7:9.) 

b. And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing 
shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath; because he hath 
transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought 
folly in Israel. (Josh. 7:15.) And I took my concubine, and cut her in 
pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of 
Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. (Jud. 
20:6.) 

c. There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite 
of the sons of Israel. (Dt. 23:17.) And she answered him, Nay, my 
brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to he done in Israel; 
do not thou this folly. (II Sam. 13:12.) 

d. Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 
(Ex. 23:32.) 

e. And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie witn 
her; he shall surely endow her to be his wife. If her father utterly 
refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry 
of virgins. (Ex. 22:16, 17.) And Saul said. Thus shall ye say to David, 
the king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philis- 
tines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. (I Sam. 18:25.) 

f. But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's 
sons go with him. Now Absolom had commanded his servants, saying. 
Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say 
unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded 
you? Be courageous, and be valiant. (II Sam. 13:27; 28.) Be not a wit- 
ness against thy neighbor without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. 
(Prov. 24:28.) For he that will love life, and see good days, let him re- 
frain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. (T 
Pet. 3:10.) If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to 
deceit. (Job 31:5.) He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within mine 
house; he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. (Ps. 101:7.) 



g. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you 
and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised 
(10). And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall 
be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you (11). And he that 
is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in 
your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money 
of any stranger, which is not of thy. seed (12). He that is born in thine 
house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circum- 
cised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting cov- 
enant. (Gen. 17:10-13.) For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep 
the law; but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made 
uncircumcision (25). Therefore if the uneircumcision keep the right- 
eousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circum- 
cision? (26). And shall not uncircumcision which is "by nature, if it ful- 
fill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost trans- 
gress the law? (27). For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither 
is that circumcision,, which is outward in the flesh (28). But he is a 
Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in 
the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men but of 
God. (Rom. 2:25-29.) Cometh this blessedness then upon the circum- 
cision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was 
reckoned to Abraham for righteousness (9). How was it then reckoned? 
when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circum- 
cision, but in uncircumcision (10). And he received the sign of cir- 
cumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet 
being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that 
believe, though they be not circumcised: that righteousness might be im- 
puted unto them also (11): And the father of circumcision to them who 
are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that 
faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised (12). 
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to 
Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteous- 
ness of faith. (Rom. 4:9-13.) 

h. Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in 
their habitations (5). O my soul, come not thou into their secret: unto 
their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for In their anger thev 
slew a man, and in their self will they did down a wall (6). Cursed be 
their anger, for it was fierce: and their wrath, for it was cruel; I will 
divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Isreal. (Gen. 49:5-7.) 

i. And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? The Lord shall 
trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned 
them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. (Josh. 7:25.)

CHAPTER 35. 
1 God sendeth Jacob to Beth-el. 2 He purg- 
eth his house of idols. 6 He buildeth an 
altar at Beth-el. 9 God blesseth Jacob at 
Beth-el. 16 Rachel travaileth of Benjamin, 
and dieth in the v:ay to Edar. 23 The sons

1 And God said unto '-Ja'cob, Arise, go up 
to Beth'-el, and dwell there: and make there 
an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee 
when thou fleddest ±rom the face of "Esau 
thy brother. 

2 Then Ja 'cob said unto his 'household, and 
to all that were with him, 3 Put away Hhe 
strange gods that are among you, and be 
r clean, and change your garments: 

3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth'-el; 
and I will make there an altar unto God, who 
d answered me in the day of my distress, and 
was with 'me in the way which I went. 

4 And they gave unto Ja'cob all the strange 
gods which were in their hand, and all their 
'earrings which were in their ears; and Ja cob 
: hid them under the oak which was by She'- 
chem. 

5 And they journeyed: and ^the 'terror of 
God was upon the cities that were round about 
them, and they did not pursue after the sons 
of Ja'cob. 

6 r So Ja'cob came to Luz, which is in the 
land of Canaan, that is, Beth'-el, he and all 
the people that were with him. 

7 And he built there an altar, and called 
the place 7 El-beth'-el : because there God ap- 
peared unto him, when he fled from the face 
of his brother.

she was buried beneath Beth'-el under an oak: 
and the name of it was called 'Al'lon-bach'uth.

17 And it came to pass, when she was in 
hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, 
Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 

18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in 
departing, (for she died) that she called his 
name Ben-o'ni: but his father called him Ben'- 
ja-min. 

19 And Ra'chel died, and was buried in the 
way to Eph rath, which is Beth'-le-hem. 

20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: 
that is the pillar of Ra'chel's grave unto this 
day. 

21 i And Is'ra-el journeyed, and spread his 
tent beyond the tower of E'dar. 

22 And it came to pass, when Is'ra-el dwelt 
in that land, that Reuben went and 'lay with 
BilTiah his father's "concubine: and is'ra-e! 
heard it. Now the :s sons of Ja'cob were 
twelve : 

23 The sons of Le'ah; Reu'ben, Jacob's 
firstborn, and Sim e-on, and Levi, and Ju'dah. 
and Is'sa-char, and Zeb'u-lun: 

24 The sons of Ra'chel; Joseph, and Ben'- 
ja-min : 

25 And the sons of BH'hah, Ra'chel's hand- 
maid; Dan, and Xaphta-li: 

26 And the sons Zil'pah, Le'ah's handmaid; 
Gad, and Ash'er: these are the sons of Jacob, 
which were bora to him in Pa'dan-a'ram. 

27 r And Ja'cob came unto I'saac his father 
unto Mam 're, unto the city of ArT>ah, which 
is He'bron, where AT>ra-ham and I'saac so- 
journed. 

28 And the days of i'saac were an 16 hundred 
and fourscore years. 

29 And I'saac gave up the ghost, and died, 
and was gathered unto his people, being old 
and full of days: and his sons ; E'sau and "'Ja'- 
cob buried him.

a. For I know him, that he will command his children and his 
household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do 
justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that 
which he hath spoken of him. (Gen. 1S:19.) And if it seem evil unto 
you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye wiU serve; 
whether the gods which your fathers served, that were on the other 
side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; 
hut as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Josh. 24:15.) 

b. And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the 
images that were her father's. (Gen. 31:19.) And Samuel spake unto 
all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the Lord with all 
your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from 
among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only; 
and he will deliver you out of the hands of the Philistines. (1 Sam. 
7:3.1 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God. and serve him, and shalt swear 
by his name. (Dt. 6:13.) There shall no strange god be in thee; neither 
shalt thou worship any strange god. (Ps. 81:9.) 

c. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanc- 
tify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. iEx. 
19:10.) Let us draw near with a true heart, In full assurance of faith, 
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies 
washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.) I will wash mine hands in inno- 
eency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord. (Ps. 2i5:S.) Help us, O 
God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; and deliver us. and 
purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. (Ps. 79:9.) Every branch 
in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that 
beareth fruit, he purseth it, that it mav bring forth more fruit. (Jno. 
15:2.) 

d. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliv- 
ered them out of their distresses. (Ps. Ki7:S. ) And call upon me in the 
day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 
50:15.) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in 
me. (Jno. 14:1.) 

e. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden 
me by my right hand. (Ps. 73:23.) I will say of the Lord, He is my 



refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) H? 
will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not 
slumber (3). The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall pre- 
serve thy soul. (Ps. 121:'.: i 

f. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to 
whom thou shalt come: and I will make all thine enemies turn 
backs unto thee. (Ex. 23:27.) Be still, and know that I am God: I will 
be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth. I Ps.

they shali wisely consider of his doing. (Ps. >■-.:{'.> I know that, what-

thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

g. Yea. he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and 
made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake 
with us. (Hos. 12:4.) And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him 
in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush : and he looked, and. behold, 
the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. (Ex. 3:2.) 
In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God 
said. Ask what I shall give thee. (I Ks. 3:5.) And the Lord was angry 
with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of 
Israel, which had appeared unto him twice. (1 Ks. 11:9.) And I ap-

mount Seir. 9 His sons. 15 The dukes 
which descended of his sons. 20 The sons 
and dukes of Seir. 24 Anah findeth mules. 
31 The kings of Edom. 40 The dukes that 
descended of Esau. 

1 Now these are the generations of 'E'sau, 
who is E'dom. 

2 E'sau ^took his wives of the daughters of 
Canaan; A'dah the daughter of E'lon the 
Hit'tite, and A-ho-lib'a-mah the daughter of 
A'nah the daughter of Zib'e-on the Hi'vlte; 

3 And Bash'e-math ish 'ma-el's daughter, 
sister of Ne-ba'joth. 

4 And A'dah bare to E'sau El'i-phaz; and 
Bash'e-math bare Reu'el; 

5 And A-ho-lib'a-mah bare Je'ush, and Ja-a'- 
lam, and Ko'rah: these are the sons of E'sau, 
which were born unto him in the land of Ca'- 
naan. 

6 And E'sau took his wives, and his sons, 
and his daughters, and all the persons of his 
house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and 
all his substance, which he had got in the land 
of Canaan; and went into the country from 
the face of his brother Jacob. 

7 For their riches were more than that they 
might dwell together; and the land wherein 
they were strangers could not bear them be- 
cause of their cattle. 

8 Thus dwelt E'sau in mount Se'ir: E'sau 
is E'dom. 

9 I And 3 these are the generations of E'sau 
the father of the E'dom-ites in mount Se'ir: 

10 These are the names of E'sau's sons; 
El'i-phaz the son of A'dah the wife of E'sau, 
Reu'el the son of Bash'e-math the wife of 
E'sau. 

li And the sons of El'i-phaz were Te'man, 
O'mar, Ze'pho, and Ga'tam, and Ke'naz. 

12 And Tim'na was concubine to El'i-phaz 
E'sau's son; and she bare to El'i-phaz "Arn'a- 
lek : these were the -sons of A'dah E'sau's wife. 

13 And these are the sons of Reu'el; Na'- 
hath, and Ze'rah, Sham'mah, and Miz'zah: 
these were the sons of Bash'e-math E'sau's 
wife. 

14 If And these were the sons of A-ho-lib'a- 
mah, the daughter of A'nah the daughter of 
Zib'e-on, E'sau's wife: and she bare to E'sau 
Je'ush, and Ja-a'lam, and Ko'rah.

NOTE. — The record of the genera- 
tions of Esau Is inserted here in ac- 
cord with the uniform plan of the 
Book of Gen. to finish up and dispose 
of the history of Esau before begin- 
ning the latter and fuller history of 
Jacob, which is to occupy not only 
the remainder of Gen., but also the 
rest of the Pentateuch. The geneal- 
ogy of the Edomites is carried as far 
as the reign of Hadar. who was per- 
haps the king of Edom, to whom 
Moses applied for passage through 
the land. 

1. See note S. ch. 25. for history 
of Esau. God had given Mount Seir 
to Esau as an inheritance, Esau 
largely destroyed the original inhab- 
itants, those who were left inter- 
marrying with the descendants of 
Esau. 

2. In vs. 1-8, is given a record 
of Esau's wives and children and 
their removal to Mt. Seir. 

3. In vs. 9-14, is given the record 
of the sons and grandsons of Esau 
as heads of tribes. 

4. In vs. 15-19. is given the rec- 
ord of the chief tribal fathers of the, 
Edomites named under the title of 
dukes. 

5. In vs. 20-30, Is given a record 
of the Horites, the original occu- 
pants of Mount Seir; they were sub- 
dued by the sons of Esau and the re- 
maining remnants of their tribes in- 
termarried with the Edomites, be- 
coming so identified with them as to 
be included in this genealogy. 

6. In vs. 31-39. the kings of Edom 
are given. How a monarchy arose 
among the Edomites we are not told. 
But it is noticeable that of the eight 
kings here mentioned, not one is said 
to have succeeded his father. It is 
therefore supposed they were chosen 
by the dukes.

NOTE.— This is the last ch. of the 
Book of Gen. headed by the special 
designation generations. Though 

largely devoted to Joseph. Jacob is 
still the head of the patriarchal fam- 
ily. J. now dwelling in the green 
vale of Hebron, haif-way between 
Beersheba (place of Isaac's sojourn- 
ing) and Salem (afterward Jerusa- 
lem, the city of Melehisedek. earliest 
seat of civilized life in Palestine). 
Here the spies found the rich valley 
of Eshcol. with its giant grape clus- 
ters, also Kirjath-Arba and his gi- 
gantic sons. Here, too, stands the 
large, wide-spreading oak, regarded 
as the successor of Abraham's "oak 
of Mambre." From now on the his- 
tory of Jacob gradually, almost im- 
perceptibly passes into that of the 
tribes (his sons), above whom hovers 
— vague and dim — the awful form of 
Israel, the aged Patriarch. The old 
father made perfect through suffer- 
ing, appears like some superior spirit 
watching over them, sternly rebuking 
all their follies and misdeeds com- 
mitted behind his back; yet he him- 
self, eventually, has to bear the bur- 
den of iniquities planned without his 
knowledge.

37 And Sam'lah died, and Saul of Re-ho'- 
both by the river reigned in his stead. 

38 And Saul died, and Ba'al-ha'nan the son 
of Ach'bor reigned in his stead. 

39 And Ba'al-ha'nan the son of Ach'bor died, 
and Ha'dar reigned in his stead: and the name 
of his city was Pa'u; and his wife's name was 
Me-het'a-bel, the daughter of Ma'tred, the 
daughter of Mez'a-hab. 

40 And these are the names of the dukes 
that came of E'sau, according to their families, 
after their places, by their names; duke Tim'-

up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all

brought unto his father their evil report.

his children, because he was the son of his old 
age: and he made him a coat of many colours. 

4 And when his brethren saw that their 
father loved him more than all his brethren, 
they a hated him, and could not speak peaceably 
unto him. 

5 r And : J5'seph 'dreamed a dream, and he 
told it his brethren: and they hated him yet 
the more. 

6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, 
this dream which I have dreamed: 

7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in 
the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also 
stood upright ; and, behold, your sheaves stood 
round about, and made "obeisance to my sheaf. 

8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou 
indeed b reign over us? or shalt thou indeed 
have dominion over us? And they °hated him

told it his brethren, and said, 6 Behold, I have 
dreamed a dream more ; and, behold, the sun

5 obeisance to me.

unto him. What is this dream that thou hast 
dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy 
brethren indeed come to bow 6 down ourselves

For his conduct In the m: il

prived him of his pre-eminence and 
double portion that belonged to his 
birthright, assigning the former to 
Judah and the latter to Joseph. The 
curse that "thou shalt not excel" was 
ipon him by his father and 
was exactly fulfilled. Reuben was an 
ardent, impetuous, unbalanced, and 
• .re. He was quick to 
respond to an emotion or an aroused 
feeling and as quick to subside.

Leah (B. C. about 1916). Gen. re- 
cords more of his history than that 
of any other of the twelve sons of 
Jacob, except: - • It was his 

stion which prevented the 
brothers from killing J. Though his 
words — "What profit is it if we slay 
our brother, and conceal his blood? 
Come let us seU him" — seem to im- 



whether it be well with thy brethren, and well 
with the flocks; and bring me word again. So 
he sent him out of the vale of He'bron, and he 
came to She'chem. 

15 " And a certain man found him, and, be- 
hold, he was wandering in the field: and the 
man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 

16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, 
I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 

IT And the man said, They are departed 
hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to

ren, and found them in Do'than.

before he came near unto them, they 'conspired 
against him to slay him.

this dreamer cometh.

and cast him into some pit, and we *will say,

Chapter 37. 

a. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his 
father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart. The days of mourning 
for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. (Gen. 
27:41.) But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in 
darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness 
hath blinded his eyes. (I Jno. 2:11.) In this the children of God are 
manifest, and the children of the devil; whosoever doeth not righteous- 
ness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. (I Jno. 
3:10.) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your 
father forgive your trespasses. (Math. 6:15.) Let all bitterness, "and 
WTath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from 
you, with all malice. (Eph. 4:31.) He that saith he is in the light, and 
hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. (I Jno. 2:9.1 If a 
man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that 
loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom 
he hath not seen? (I Jno. 4:20.) 

b. And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that 
sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed 
down themselves before him with their faces to the earth (6). And Joseph 
remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them. 
Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. (Gen. 42:6, 9.) 
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was 
in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the 
earth. (Gen. 43:26.) And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's 
house; for he was yet there; and they fell before him on the ground. 
(Gen. 44:14.1 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be 
lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: 
cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth 
thee. (Gen. 27:29.) 

c. And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants. 
that they should kill David. (I Sam. 19:1.) And the Lord said unto 



Moses, If ner father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed 
1 days? let her be shut out from the camp 7 days, and after that let 
her be received in again (14). And the Lord spake* suddenly unto Moses, 
and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the taber- 
nacle of the congregation. And they three came out. (Kum. :_ 
Then the Pharisees went out and held a counsel against him, how they 
might destroy him. (Math. 12:14.) And the Pharisees went forth, and 
straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they 
might destroy him. (Mk. 3:6.) Tnou shalt not raise a false report: put 
not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 1 Ex. 23:1.) 

d. Te shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to an- 
other. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou 
proclaim the' name of thy God: I am the Lord. (Lev. 19:11, 12.) But ye 
are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. (Job 13:4.) Thou 
shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and 
deceitful man (6). For there is no faithfulness in their mouth: their in- 
ward part is very wickedness: their throat is an open sepulchre: they 
flatter with their tongue. (Ps. 5:6, i J . 1 Let the lying lips be put to 
silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against 
the righteous. (Ps. 31:18.) But the king shall rejoice in God; every one 
that sweareth by him shall glory; but the mouth of them that speak 
lies shall be stopped. (Ps. 63:11.) Bread of deceit is sweet to a man: 
but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. (Prov. 20:li.) But 
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and 
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and all liars, shall have 
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is 
the second death (S). And there shall in no wise enter into it any 
thing that defiletb. neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a 
lie; but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Rev. 
21:S. 27. 1 

e. And Reuben answered them, saying. Spake I not unto you, say- 
ing. Do not sin against the child: and ye would not hear? Therefore, 
behold, also his blood is required. (Gen. 42:22.)

What profit is it if we slay our brother, and 
conceal his blood? 

27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ish'- 
me-el-ites and let not our hand be upon him; 
for he is four brother and our flesh. And his 
brethren were content. 

28 Then there passed by Mid'i-an-ites mer- 
chantmen; and they drew and lifted up Jo'- 
§eph out of the pit, and sold : Jo'§eph to the 
ish'me-el-ites for twenty pieces of silver: and 
they brought Jo'seph into Egypt. 

29 li And "Reu'ben returned unto the pit ; 
and, behold, Jo'seph was not in the pit; and 
he rent his clothes. 

30 And he returned unto his brethren, and 
said, The child is not; and I, whither shall 
I go? 

31 And they took 2 Jo'seph's coat, and killed 
a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the 
blood; 

32 And they sent the coat of many colours, 
and they brought it to their father; and said, 
This ''have we found: know now whether it be 
thy son's coat or no. 

33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's 
coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Jo'- 
seph is without doubt rent in pieces. 

34 And ^a'cob rent his clothes, and put 
sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his 
son many days. 

35 And all his sons and all his daughters 
rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be 
comforted; and he said, For I will go down 
into the "grave unto my son mourning. Thus 
his father wept for him. 

36 And the Mid'i-an-ites sold him-into E'gypt 
unto Pot'i-phar, an officer of Pha'raoh's, and 
captain of the guard. 

CHAPTER 38. 
1 Judah begetteth Er, Onan, and Shelah. 
6 Er marrieth Tamar. 13 She deceiveth 
Judah. 27 She beareth twins, Pharez and 
Zarah. 

1 And it came to pass at that time, that 
'Ju'dah went down from his brethren, and 
turned in to a certain A-dui'lam-ite, whose 
name was Hi'rah. 

2 And Ju'dah saw there a daughter of a 
certain Ca'naan-ite, whose name was "Shu'ah; 
and he 3 took her, and went in unto her. 

3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he 
called his name Er. 

4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; 
and she called his name O'nan. 

5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a 
son; and called his name She'lah: and he was 
at Che'zib, when she bare him. 

6 And Ju'dah took a wife for Er his first- 
born, whose name was Ta'mar. 

7 And Er, Ju'dah's firstborn, was 4 wicked in 
the sight of the Lord; and the Lord 5 slew 
Q him. 

8 And Ju'dah said unto O'nan, Go in unto 
6 thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise 
up e seed to thy brother. 



11. Grave; the original was sheol, 
which is the first occurrence of this 
word. It means the place or state of 
the dead. It is derived from a word 
meaning to dig. i. e.. the grave; al- 
though sometimes derived from a verb 
meaning to ask, i. e.. the wonder 
with which we ask for the dead. 
(Lewes.) 

The Greek word hades, meaning 
the unseen abode of the dead, the eye 
ever peering into the darkness of the 
world of the dead, or with inquiring 
wonder listening to the silence of 
that world of the dead. Both give 
rise to the same question — "Where 
Is he?" Both seem to imply with 
equal emphasis that the one unseen 
and unheard yet really, is. Jacob did 
not expect to go into the grave with 
his son.- as he thought him devoured 
by the wild beast, "but he did think 
he could and would go to him.

XOTE.— Ch. 3S forms an essential 
part of the history of the generations 
of Jacob. In that history two chief 
persons were Joseph and Judah; Jo- 
seph from his high character, his per- 
sonal importance, his influence on the 
destinies of the race, and his typical 
foreshadowing of the Messiah: Judah 
from his obtaining the virtual right 
of leadership, and from his being the 
ancestor of David and our Saviour 
(the "son of David"). Hence, when 
there comes a pause in the history 
of Joseph, because of his having been 
sold into Egypt, the historian recurs 
to the events in the family of Judah. 
which he carries down to the birth 
of Pharez. the next link in the ances- 
try of the Saviour. There is here a 
remarkable contrast between the im- 
pure line of Judah and his children 
and the chastity and moral integrity 
of Joseph in the succeeding chapter. 
(Speakers' Com.) 



1. See 10. ch. 37. 



2. Father of Judah's wlf». 



3. This marriage with a Canaanit- 
isb woman was a source of many 
evils, and to save the chosen people 
from complete affiliation with the 
heathen, and ruin from that cause. 
Jehovah brought them into Egypt, 
where years of bondage would pre- 
vent further contamination from 
them. 



4. An imbibing of the idolatry and 
vice of the Canaanites. 



5. Some sudden or fearful death 
that was recognized as a judgment 
stroke. 



6. The first mention of Levlrate 
marriage. 



9 And O'nan knew that the seed should not 
be his; and it came to pass, when he went in 
unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on 
the ground, lest that he should give seed to 
his brother. 

10 And the thing which he did displeased 
the Lord: wherefore he "slew him also. 

11 Then said Mu'dah to Ta'mar his daugh- 
ter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's 
house, till She'lah my son be grown: for he 
said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his 
brethren did. And Ta'mar went and dwelt in 
her father's house. 

12 II And in process of time the daughter of 
"Shu'ah Judah's wife died; and Ju'dah was 
comforted, and went up unto his sheepshear- 
ers to Tim'nath, he and his friend Hl'rah the 
A-dul'lam-ite. 

13 And it was told Ta'mar, saying, Behold 
thy father in law goeth up to Tim'nath to 
shear his sheep. 

14 And she put . her widow's garments off 
from her, and covered her with a vail, and 
wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, 
which is by the way to Tim'nath; for she saw 
that She'lah was grown, and she was not given 
unto him to wife. 

15 When Ju'dah saw her, he thought her 
to be an harlot; because she had covered her 
face. 

16 And he turned unto her by the way, and 
said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto 
thee; (for he knew not that she was his daugh- 
ter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou 
give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? 

17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from 
the flock. And she said, Wilt c thou give me 
a pledge, till thou send it? 

18 And he said, What pledge shall I give 
thee? And she said, d Thy signet, and thy 
bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. 
And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and 
she conceived by him. 

19 And she arose, and went away, and e laid 
by her vail from her, and put on the garments 
of her widowhood. 

20 And Ju'dah sent the kid by the hand of 
his friend the A-dul'lam-ite, to receive his 
pledge from the woman's hand: but he found 
her not. 

21 Then he asked the men of that place, say- 
ing, Where is the harlot, that was openly by 
the way side? And they said, There was no 
harlot in this place. 

22 And he returned to Ju'dah, and said, I 
cannot find her; and also the men of the place 
said, that there was no harlot in this place. 

23 And 2 Ju'dah said, Let her take it to her, 
lest we be shamed : behold, I sent this kid, and 
thou hast not found her. 

24 11 And it came to pass about three months 
after, that it was told Mu'dah, saying, Ta'mar 
thy daughter in law hath Splayed the harlot; 
and also, behold, she is with child by whore- 
dom. And Ju'dah, said, Bring her forth, and 
let her -"be burnt. 



f. And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning 
our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought 
us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. 
(Gen. 42:21.) 

Chapter 38. 

a. God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked 
every day. (Ps. 7:11.) Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God; depart 
from me therefore, ye bloody man. (Ps. 139:19.) The Lord preserveth 
all them that love him; but all the wicked will he destroy. (Ps. 145:20.) 
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors 
shall be rooted out of it. (Prov. 2:22.) Beheld, the righteous shall be 
recompensed in the earth; much more the wicked and the sinner. 
(Prov. 11:31.) Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him; for the 
reward of his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) But with righteous- 
ness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of 
the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, 
and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. (Is. 11:4.) 
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will 
recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his peo- 
ple. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 
(Heb. 10:30-31.) 



b. Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, 
his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 
(Math. 22:24.) If brethren dwell together, and one of them die. and 
have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a 
stranger; her husband's, brother shall go in unto her and take her to 
him to wife and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. And 
it shall be, that the firstborn .which she beareth shall succeed in the 
name of his brother which is dead, that h.s name be not put out of 
Israel. (Dt. 25:5-6.) 

c. See v. 20. 

d. See v. 25. 

e. See v. 14. 

f. Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest 
the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. 
(Lev. 19:29.) There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a 
sodomite of the sons of Israel. (Dt. 23:17.) Let not thine heart decline 
to her ways, go not astray in her paths; for she hath cast down many 
wounded, yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house 
is the way of hell, going down to the chambers of death. (Prov. 7:25-27.) 

g. And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by play- 
ing the whore, she profaneth her father; she shall be burnt with fire.

25 When she was brought forth, she sent to 
her father in law, saying, By the man, whose 
these are, am I with child: and she said, Dis- 
cern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, 
and bracelets, and staff. 

26 And 'Ju'dah acknowledged them, and 
said, She hath been more 7 righteous_than I; 
because that I gave ''her not to She'lah my 
son. And he knew her again 'no more. 

27 II And it came to pass in the time of her 
travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 

28 And it came to pass, when she had tra- 
vailed, that the one put out his hand: and the 
midwife took and bound upon his hand a scar- 
let thread, saying, This came out first. 

29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his 
hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and 
she said, How hast thou broken forth? this 
breach be upon thee: therefore his name was 
called Pha'rez. 

30 And afterward came out his brother, that 
had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his 
name was called Za'rah. 

CHAPTER 39. 
1 Joseph advanced in Potiphar's house. 7 He 
resisteth his mistress's temptation. 13 He 
is falsely accused. 20 He is cast in prison.

1 And 'Joseph was brought downjto E'gypt; 
and Pot'i-phar, an officer of 2 Pha'raoh, captain 
of the guard, an E-gyp'tian, bought him of the 
hands of the ish'me-el-ites, which had brought 
him down thither. 

2 And the Lord was "with Joseph, and he 
was a prosperous man; and he was in the 
house of his master the E-gyp'tian. 

3 And his master saw that the Lord was 
"with him, and that the Lord 6 made all that he 
did to prosper in his hand. 

4 And ^S'^eph c found grace in his sight, 
and he served him: and he made him overseer 
over his house, and all that he had he put into 
his hand. 

5 And it came to pass from the time that he 
had made him overseer in his house, and over 
all that he had, that the d Lord blessed the 
E-gyp'tian's house for Joseph's sake; and the 
blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had 
in the house, and in the field. 

6 And he left all that he had in Mo'geph's 
hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the 
bread which he did eat. And Jo'§eph was a 
goodly person, and well favoured. 

-7 IT And it came to pass after these things, 
that his master's wife cast her eyes upon 
^o'geph; and she said, Lie with me.

9 There is none greater in this house than 
I; neither hath he kept back any thing from 
me but thee, because thou art his wife: how- 
then can I do this c great wickedness, and sin 
against God? 

10 And it came to pass, as she spake to l J6'- 
seph day by day, that he hearkened not unto 
her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 

11 And it came to pass about this time, that 
"Jo'seph went into the house to do his busi- 
ness; and there was none of the men of the 
house there within. 

12 And she caught him by his garment, 
saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment 
in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 

13 And it came to pass, when she saw that 
he had left his garment in her hand, and was 
fled forth, 

14 That 3 she called unto the men of her 
house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he 
hath brought in an He'brew unto us to mock 
us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I 
cried with a loud voice: 

15 And it came to pass, when he heard that 
I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his 
garment with me, and fled, and got him out. 

16 And she laid up his garment by her, until 
his lord came home. 

17 And she ^spake unto him according to 
these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, 
which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto 
me to mock me: 

18 And ft came to pass, as I lifted up mv 
voice and cried, that he left his garment with 
me, and ffled out. 

19 And it came to pass, when his master 
heard the words of his wife, which she spake 
unto him, saying, After this manner did thy 
servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. 

20 And 'Jo'seph's master took him, and -"put 
4 him into the prison, a place where the king's 
prisoners were bound: and he was there in the 
prison. 

21 K But the Lord was with 'Jo'seph, and 
shewed him mercy, and gave him ''favour in 
the sight of the keeper of the prison. 

22 And the keeper of the prison committed 
to JS'seph's hand all the prisoners that were 
in the prison ; and whatsoever they did there, 
he was the doer of it. 

23 The keeper of the prison looked not to 
any thing that was under his hand; because 
the Lord was with him, and that which he did, 
the "Lord made it to prosper.

i. Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, 
I will not offend any more; that which I see not, teach thou me; if I 
have done iniquity I will do no more. (Job 34:31, 32.) 

Chapter 39. • 

a. And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol 
the .chief captain of his hosts spake unto Abraham, saying, God is 
with thee in all that thou doest. (Gen. 21:22.) And the Lord appeared 
unto him the same night and said, I am the God of Abraham thy 
father; fear not, for I am with thee and will bless thee, and multiply thy 
seed, for my servant Abraham's sake. (Gen. 26:24.) And David behaved 
himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him (14). And 
Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, 
Saul's daughter, loved him. (1 Sam. 18:14, 28.) Every word of God is 
pure; he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (Prov. 
30:5.) And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; but 
God was with him. (Acts 7:9.) The words of the Lord are pure words; 
as silver tried in a furnace of earth; purified 7 times. (Ps. 12:6.) 

b. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that 
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and 
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:3.) For bodily exercise 
profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having 
promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. (I Tim. 
4:8.) But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Math. 6:33.) 

c. And said. My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass 
not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. (Gen. 18:3.) Unless the Lord 
had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence (17). When 
I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up (18). In the 
multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. (Ps. 
94:17-19.) By the grace of God I am what I am; andhis grace which 
was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly 
than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (I 
Cor. 15:10.) 



d. And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in 
thine eyes, tarry; for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath 
blessed me for thy sake. (Gen. 30:27.) And ye shall be like a tree 
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his sea- 
son; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall pros- 
per. (Ps. 1:3.) And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and 
said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, 
and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's 
sake. (Gen. 26:24.) 

e. So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife: whosoever toucheth 
her shall not be innocent (29). But whoso committeth adultery with a 
woman lacketh understanding; he that doeth it destroyeth his own 
soul. (Prov. 6:29, 32.) For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, 
and would root out all mine increase. (Job 31:12.) Marriage is honor- 
able in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers, God 
will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

f. Thou shall not raise a false report; put not thine hand with the 
wicked to be an unrighteous witness (Ex. 23:1.) For a whore is a 
deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. (Prov. 23:27.) A 
lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it: and a flattering 
mouth worketh ruin. (Prov. 26:28.) The wicked are estranged from 
the womb; they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. (Ps. 
58:3.) 

g. Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron. (Ps. 
105:18.) For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God 
endure grief, suffering wrongfully. (I Pet. 2:19.) 

h. And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyp- 
tians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, 
in the sight of Pharaoh's servants,-and in the sight of the people. (Ex. 
11:3.) He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them 
captives. (Ps. 106:46.) When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh 
even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Prov. 16:7.) Now God had 
brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

CHAPTER 40. 
1 The butler and baker of Pharaoh in prison. 
4 Joseph hath charge of them. 5 He in- 
terpretcth their dreams. 20 They come to 
pass according to his interpretation. 23 The 
ingratitude of the butler. 

1 And it came to pass 'after these things, 
that the butler of the king of E'gypt and his 
baker had 2 offended their lord the king of 
E'gypt. 

2 And 3 Pha'raoh was "wrath against two of 
his officers, against the chief of the butlers, 
and against the chief of the bakers. 

3 And he put 'them in 'ward in the house 
of the captain of the guard, into the prison, 
the place Avhere 5 Jo'§eph was bound. 

4 And the captain of the guard charged 
J5'§eph with them, and he served them: and 
they continued a season in ward. 

5 H And they dreamed a dream both of them, 
each man his dream in one night, each man 
according to the interpretation of his dream, 
the butler and the baker of the king of E'gypt, 
which were bound in the prison. 

6 And 5 J5'§eph came in unto them in the 
morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, 
they were sad. 

7 And he asked 3 Pha'raoh's officers that were 
with him in the ward of his lord's house, say- 
ing, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? 

8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed 
a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. 
And s J6'§eph said unto them, Do not inter- 
pretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray 
you. 

9 And the chief butler told his dream to 
5 J6'§eph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, 
a Vine was before me; 

10 And in the vine were three branches: 
and it was as though it budded and her blos- 
soms shot forth; and the clusters thereof 
brought forth ripe grapes: 

11 And 3 Pha'raoh's cup was in my hand: 
and I took the grapes, and pressed them into 
Pha'raoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pha- 
raSh's hand. 

12 And 5 Jo'§eph said unto him, This is the 
interpretation of it: The three branches are 
three days: 

13 Yet within three days shall 3 Pha'ra5h lift 
up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: 
and thou shalt deliver Pha'raoh's cup into his 
hand, after the former manner when thou 
wast his butler. 

14 But think <*on me when it shall be well 
with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto 
me, and make mention of me unto Pha'raoh, 
and bring me out of this house: 

15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the 
land of the He'brews: and here also have I 
done nothing that they should put me into the 
dungeon. 

16 When the chief baker saw that the inter- 
pretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I 
also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three 
white baskets on my head: 

17 And in the uppermost basket there was 
of all manner of 'bakemeats for Pha'raoh; and 
the birds did eat them out of the basket upon 
my head.

18 And Joseph answered and said, This is 
the interpretation thereof: The three baskets 
are three days: 

19 Yet within three days shall Pha'raoh lift 
up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee 
on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh 
from off thee. 

20 U And it came to pass the third day, 
which was 3 Pha'raoh's birthday, that he made 
a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up 
the head of the chief butler and of the chief 
baker among his servants. 

21 And he restored the chief butler unto his 
butlership again; and he gave the cup into 
Pha'raoh's hand: 

22 But he hanged the chief baker: as 5 J6'- 
§eph had interpreted to them. 

23 Yet did not the chief butler remember 
Joseph, but forgat him.

1 Pharaoh's two dreams. 25 Joseph inter- 
preted them. 33 He giveth Pharaoh coun- 
sel. 38 Joseph is advanced. 50 He beget- 
teth Manasseh and Ephraim. 54 The fam- 
ine beginneth. 

1 And it came to pass at the end of two 
'full years, that Pha'radh dreamed: and, be- 
hold, he stood by the river. 

2 And, behold, there came up out of the 
2 river seven well favoured :i kine and fatfleshed; 
and they fed in a meadow. 

3 And, behold, seven other kine came up 
after them out of the river, ill favoured and 
leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon 
the brink of the river. 

4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine 
did eat up the seven well favoured and fat 
kine: So Pha'raoh awoke. 

5 And he slept and dreamed the second 
time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up 
upon one stalk, rank and good. 

6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted 
with the east 4 wind sprung up after them. 

7 And the seven thin ears devoured the 
seven rank and full ears. And Pha'raoh 
awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 

8 And it came to pass in the morning that 
his spirit was "troubled; andhe sent and called 
for all the "magicians "of E'gypt, and all the 
wise men thereof: and Pha'raSh told them his 
dream; but there was 'none that could inter- 
pret them unto Pha'raoh. 

9 f Then spake the chief butler unto Pha'- 
raoh, saying, I do remember my 'faults this 
day: 

10 Pha'raoh was wroth 6 with his servants, 
and put me in ward in the captain of the 
guard's house, both me and the chief baker: 

11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, 
I and he; we dreamed each man according to 
the interpretation of his dream. 

12 And there was there with us a young 
man, an He'brew, servant to the captain of 
the guard; and we told him, and he ''interpret- 
ed to us our dreams; to each man according 
to his dream he did interpret. 

13 And it came to pass, as he ^interpreted 
•to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine of- 
fice, and him he hanged.

a. The wrath of a king is as messengers of death; but a wise man 
will pacify it. (Prov. 16:14.) 

b. See ch. 39:20. 

c. And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none 
other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling 
is not with flesh (11). But there is a God in heaven that revealeth 
secrets, and rnaketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be 
in the latter days. Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy 
bed are these (28). The king answered unto Daniel, and said. Of a truth 
it is, that your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and a revealer 
of secrets, seeing thou eouldest reveal this secret. (Dan. 2:11, 28, 47.) 

. d. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest 
into thy kingdom. (Lu. 23:42.) 

e. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due when it is in 
the power of thine hand to do it. (Prov. 3:27.) Now there was found 



in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet 
no man remembered that same poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is bet- 
ter than strength; nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and 
his words are not heard. (Ecc. 9:15, 16.)

wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the under- 
standing of their prudent men shall be hid. (Is. 29:14.) And in all '■mat-

found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers 
that were in all his realm. (Dan. 1:20.)

and they brought him hastily out c of the dun- 
geon : and he shaved himself, and changed his 
raiment, and came in unto Pha'radh. 

15 And Pha'ra5h said unto "Jo'seph, I have 
dreamed a dream, and there is none that can 
interpret it: 'and I have heard say of thee, 
that thou canst understand a dream to in- 
terpret it. 

16 And Jo'seph answered Pha'radh saying, 
sit is not in me: God shall give Pha'raoh an 
answer of peace. 

17 And Pha'raoh said unto -Joseph, In my 
dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the 
river : 

18 And, behold, there came up out of the 
river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; 
and they fed in a meadow: 

19 And, behold, seven other kine came up 
after them, poor and very ill favoured and 
leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land 
of Egypt for badness: 

20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine 
did eat up the first seven fat kine: 

21 And when they had eaten them up, it 
could not be known that they had eaten them; 
but they were still ill favoured, as at the be- 
ginning. So I awoke. 

22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, 
seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good : 

23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, 
and blasted with the east wind, sprung up 
after them: 

24 And the thin ears devoured the seven 
good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; 
but there was none that could declare it to me. 

25 r And : Jo'seph said unto Pha'raoh, The 
dream of Pha'raoh is i: 'one: God hath shewed 
Pha'raoh what he Ms about to do. 

26 The seven good kine are seven years; and 
the seven good ears are seven years : the dream 
is one. 

27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine 
that came up after them are seven years; and 
the seven empty ears blasted with the east 
wind shall be seven years of famine. 

28 This is the thing which I have spoken 
unto Pha'raoh: What God is about to do he 
sheweth unto Pha'ra5h. 

29 Behold, there come seven years of great 
plenty throughout all the land of E'gypt: 

30 And there shall arise after them seven 
years of "famine; and all the plenty shall be 
forgotten in the land of E'gypt; and the famine 
shall consume the land; 

31 And the plenty shall not be known in 
the land by reason of that famine following; 
for it shall be very grievous. 

32 And for that the dream was doubled 
unto Pha'raoh twice; it is because the thing is 
''established by God, and God will shortly bring 
it to pass. 

33 Now therefore let Pha'raoh look out a

that this is a famine restricted to 
the want of corn. There is no indica- 
tion that there was any lack of pas- 
turage. (Gen. 4G:Ci — "And they took

34 Let Pha'raoh do this, and let him ap- 
point officers over the land, and take up the 
fifth part of the land ^of E'gypt in the seven 
plenteous years. 

35 And let them gather all the food of I 
good years tha ;.nd lay up corn under 
the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food 
in the cities. 

36 And that food shall be for store to the 
land against the seven years of famine, which 
shall be in the land of E'gypt; that the land 
perish not through the fam.

much as God hath shewed thee all this, there 
is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 

40 Thou shalt be over my house, and accord- 
ing unto thy word shall* all my people be 
ruled: only in the throne will I be greater 
than thou. 

41 And Pha'raoh said unto Jo'seph, See, I 
have set *'thee over all the land of E'gypt. 

42 And Pha'raoh took off his u ring from his 
hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and ar- 
rayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a 
gold chain 'about his neck; 

43 And he made him to ride in the second 
chariot which he had; and they cried before 
him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler 
over all the land of E'gypt. 

44 And Pha'raoh said unto Jo'seph, I am 
Pha'raoh, and without thee shall no man lift 
up his hand or foot in all the land of E'gypt. 

45 And Pha'raoh called Jo'seph's name 
ir Zaph'nath-pa-a-ne'ah ; and he gave him to 
wife As'e-nath the daughter of Po-tiph e-rah 
priest of On. And Jo'seph went out over all 
the land of E'gypt. 

46 r And ^'Joseph was thirty "'years old when 
he stood before Pha'raoh king of E'gypt. And 
Jo'seph went out from the presence of Pha'- 
raoh, and went throughout all the land of 
E'gypt. 

47 And in the seven plenteous years the 
earth brought forth by handfuls. 

48 And he gathered up all the food of the 
seven years, which were in the land of E'gypt, 
and laid up the food in the cities: the food of 
the field, which was round about every city, 
laid he up in the same. 

49 And : Jo'seph gathered corn as the sand of 
the sea, very much, until he left numbering; 
for it was without number. 

50 And unto Jo'seph were born two sons be- 
fore the years of famine came, which As'e-nath 
the daughter of Po-tiph 'e-rah priest of On bare 
unto him. 



e. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out 
of the dunghill: that he niav set him with princes, even with the princes 
of his people. (Ps. 113:7, S.) 

f. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him: and he •will 
show them his covenant. (Ps. 2o:14.) And I have heard of thee, that 
thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if thou canst 
read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, 
thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy 
neck, and shalt be the 3d ruler in the kingdom. (Dan. 5:16.) 

g. But as for me, this secret is hot revealed to me for any wisdom

Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these (2S^ : As

pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof 
sure. (Dan. 2:2S, 29, 45.) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was 



opened in heaven; and the first voice whioh I heard was as it were of a 
trumpet talking with me; which said, Ccme up hither, and I will show

Almighty giveth them understanding. (Job 32 :S.) Then this Danie'.

but to buy food are thy servants come. 

11 We are all one man's sons; we are true 
men, thy servants are no spies. 

12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see 
the nakedness of the land ye are come. 

13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve 
brethren, the sons of one man in the land of 
Ca'naan; and, behold, the youngest is this day 
with our father, and one is not. 

14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it 
that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies: 

15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the 'life 
of Pha'raoh ye shall not go forth hence, except 
your youngest brother come hither. 

16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your 
brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that 
your words may be proved, whether there be 
any truth in you: or else by the life of Pha'- 
raoh surely ye are spies. 

17 And he put them all together into 8 ward 
three days. 

18 And 3 Jo'§eph said unto them the third 
day, This do, and live; for I c fear God: 

19 If ye be true men, let one of your breth- 
ren be bound in the house of your prison: go 
ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses: 

20 But bring your youngest brother unto 
me; so shall your words be verified, and ye 
shall not die. And they did so. 

21 f And they said one to another, We °are 
verily guilty concerning our brother, in that 
we saw the anguish of his soul, when he be- 
sought us, and we would not hear; therefore 
fis this distress come upon us. 

22 And "Reu'ben answered them, saying, 
Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin 
against the child; and ye would not hear? 
therefore, behold, also his blood is "^required. 

23 And they knew not that 3 J5'§eph under- 
stood them; for he spake unto them by an in- 
terpreter. 

24 And he turned himself about from them, 
and wept; and returned to them again, and 
communed with them, and took from them 
I2 Sim'e-on, and bound him before their eyes.

sacks with corn, and to restore every man's 



m. Moreover lie called for a famine upon the land; he brake the 
whole staff of bread (Ps. 105:16.) Now there came a dearth over all 
the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers 
found no sustenance. (Acts 7:11.) 

n. And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the 
land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they 
bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house (14). And 
it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the 5th part unto 
Pharaoh; and 4 parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for 
your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your 
little ones. (Gen. 47:14-24.) He that withholdeth corn, the people shall 
curse him: but blessings shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. 
(Prov. 11:26.) 

Chapter 42. 

a. See v. 38. 

b. And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down 
into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. 
(Gen. 12:10.) And there was a famine in the land, beside the first 
famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abime- 
lech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. (Gen. 26:1.) Now there came a 
dearth over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction; and 
our fathers found no sustenance. (Acts 7:11.) 

c. Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee; be lord 
over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee; 
cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth 
thee. (Gen. 27:29.) For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the 
field, and lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, 
your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 
(Gen. 37:7.) The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bend- 
ing unto thee; and all they that despise thee shall bow themselves 
down at the soles of thv feet: and they shall call thee, The city of the 
Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. (Is. 60:14.) 

d. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren; and 
they hated him yet the more (5). And he dreamed yet another dream, 



and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream 
more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made 
obeisance to me. (Gen. 37:5, 9.) 

e. Thou shalt net rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy 
God. (Lev. 25:43.) But the former governors that had been before me 
were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and 
wine, besides 40 shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bear rule 
over the people; but so did not I, because of the fear of God. (Neh. 
5:15.) 

f. Fools because of their transgression and because of their in- 
iquities, are afflicted. (Ps. 107:17.) His own iniquities shall take the 
wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. (Prov. 
5:22.) Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished, 
but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. (Prov. 11:21.) Whoso 
stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but 
shall not be heard. (Prov. 21:13.) For what judgment ye judge, ye shall 
be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you 
again. (Math. 7:2.) Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for thou 
renderest to every man according to his works. (Ps. 62:12.) If thou 
say est, Behold, we knew it not: doth not he that pondereth the heart 
consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And 
shall not he render to every man according to his works? (Prov. 24:12.) 
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors 
shall be rooted out of it. (Prov. 2:22.) The curse of the Lord is in 
the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. 
(Prov. 3:33.) 

g. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand 
of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand 
of every man's brother will I require the life of man. (5.) And God 
said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and 
you and every living creature, that is with you, for perpetual genera- 
tions. (Gen. 9:5. 12.) That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed 
from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation.

for the way: and thus ''did he unto them. 

26 And they laded their asses with the corn, 
and departed thence. 

27 And as one of them opened his sack to 
give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his 
money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. 

28 And he said unto his brethren, My money 
is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and 
their heart failed them, and they were afraid, 
saying one to another, What is this that God 
hath done unto us? 

29 II And they came unto 'Ja'cob their father 
unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that 
befell unto them; saying, 

30 The man, who is the lord of the land, 
spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of 
the country. 

31 And we said unto him, We are true men; 
we are no spies: 

32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our 
father; one is not, and the youngest is this day 
with our father in the land of Ca'naan. 

33 And the man, the lord of the country, 
said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are 
true men; leave one of your brethren here 
with me, and take food for the famine of your 
households, and be gone: 

34 And bring your youngest brother unto 
me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, 
but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you 
your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land. 

35 If And it came to pass as they emptied 
their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle 
of money was in his sack : and when both they 
and their father saw the bundles of money. 
they were afraid. 

36 And 'Ja'cob their father said unto them, 
Me have ye bereaved of my children: "Jo'seph 
is not, and 12 Sim'e-on is not, and ye will take 
in Ben'ja-min away: all these things are against 
me. 

37 And Reu'ben spake unto his father, say- 
ing, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to 
thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will 
bring him to thee again. 

38 And he said, My son shall not go dpwn 
with you; for 'his brother is dead, and he is 
left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in 
the which ye go, then shall ye bring -'down 
my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

you. 

6 And : is ra-el said, Wherefore dealt ye so 
ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had 
yet a brother? 

7 And they said, The man asked us straitly 
of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is 
your father yet alive? have ye another brother? 
and we told him according to the tenor of 
these words: could we certainly know that he 
would say, Bring your brother down? 

8 And Ju'dah said unto is ra-el his father, 
Send the lad with me, and we will arise and 
go; that we may live, and not die, both we, 
and thou, and also our little ones. 

9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt 
thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, 
and set him before thee, then let me bear the 
blame for ever: 

10 For except we had lingered, surely now 
we had returned this second time. 

11 And their father : is'ra-el said unto them, 
If it must be so now, do this; take of the best 
fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry 
down the man a present, a little balm, and a 
little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and al- 
monds : 

12 And take double money in your hand; 
and the money that was brought again in the 
mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your 
hand; peradventure it was an oversight: 

13 Take also your brother, and arise, go 
again unto the Vnan : 

14 And God Almighty give you mercy before 
the 'man, that he may send away your other 
brother, and Ben'ja-min. If I be ^bereaved of 
my children, I am bereaved. 

15 *~ And the men took that present, and they 
took double money in their hand, and Ben'- 
ja-min; and rose up, and went down to E'gypt, 
and stood before "Jo'seph. 

16 7 And when Jo'seph saw Ben'ja-min with 
them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring 
these men home, and slay and make ready; for 
these men shall dine with me at noon. 

17 And the man did as "Jo'seph bade; and 
the man brought the men into Jo'seph's house. 

18 And the men were afraid, because they 
were brought into Jo'seph's house; and they 
said, Because of the money that was returned 
in our sacks at the first time are we brought 
in; that he may seek occasion against us, and 
fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and 
our asses. 

19 And they came near to the steward of 
"Jo'seph's house, and thay communed with him 
at the door of the house, 

20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at 
the first time to buy food: 

21 And it came to pass, when we came to 
the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, 
every man's money was in the mouth of his 
sack, our money in full weight: and we have 
brought it again in our hand. 

22 And other money have we brought down 
in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who 
put our money in our sacks. 



h. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse 
you, do good to them that hate you. and pray for them which despitefully 
use you, and persecute you. (Math. 5:44.) Recompense to no man evil 
for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (17.1 There- 
fore if thine enemy hunger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink: for 
in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome 
of evil, but overcome evil with good. (Rom. 12:17, 20, 21.) If thine 
enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him 
water to drink. (Prov. 25:21.) Bless them that persecute vou; bless, and 
curse not. (Rom. 12:14.) 

i. And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath 
devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. (Gen. 37:33.) And 
the one went out from me. and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces: and 
I saw him not since. (Gen. 44:2S.) 

j. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; 
but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For r will go down into 
the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Gen. 
37: 3o.) It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with 
us, that he will die; and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs 
of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Gen. 44:31.) 



Chapter 43. 

a. Behold, there come 7 years of great plenty throughout all the 
land of Egypt. And there shall arise after them 7 years of famine; 
and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt: and the 
famine shall consume the land. And the plenty shall not be known in 
the land by reason of that famine following: for it shall be very 
grievous. And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice: ir 
is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring 
it 'to pass. (Gen. 41:29-32.) And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. 
And there was a sore famine in Samaria. (I Ks. 1S:2.) And in the 4th 
month, in the 9th day of the month, the famine was sore in the 
city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. (Jer. 52:6. i 
Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. (Lam. 
5:10.) 

b. But bring your youngest brother unto me: so shall your words 
be verified, andye shall not die. And they did so. (Gen. 42:20.) And 
thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down 
with you, ye shall see my face no more. (Gen. 44:23.)

your God, and the God of your father, hath 
given you treasure in your sacks: I had your 
money. And he brought Slm'e-on out unto 
them. 

24 And the 'inan brought the men into Jo-

washed their feet; and he gave their asses 
provender. 

25 And they made ready the present °against 
Joseph came at noon : for they heard that they 
should eat bread there. 

26 If And when c Jo'seph came home, they 
brought him the present which was in their 
hand into the house, and "bowed d themselves 
to him to the earth. 

27 And he asked them of their welfare, and 
said, Is your father well, the old man of whom 
ye spake? Is he yet alive? 

28 And they answered, Thy servant our 
father is in good health, he is yet alive. And 
they bowed d down their heads, and made 
obeisance. 

29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his 
brother Ben'ja-min, his mother's son, and said, 
Is this your younger brother, of whom ye 
spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious 
unto thee, my son. 

30 And Jo'seph made haste; for his "bowels 
did yeam upon his brother: and he sought 
where to weep; and he entered into his cham- 
ber, and wept there. 

31 And he washed his face, and went out, 
and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. 

32 And they set on for him by himself, and 
for them by themselves, and for the E-gyp'- 
tians, which did eat with him, by themselves: 
because the E-gyp'tians might not eat bread 
with the He'brew§; for that is an abomina- 
tion unto the E-gyp'tians. 

33 And they sat before him, the firstborn 
according to his birthright, and the youngest 
according to his youth: and the men mar- 
velled one at another.

6. Nothing in all the range of lit- 
erature surpasses this appeal of Ju- 
dah in behalf of his father and 
brother. He denies nothing. He 
seems to be overwhelmed with the 
fact that all his iniquities were 
open before God, and that the .judg- 
ments of God were in their trials. 
Kalisch observes J., the lion, could 
never degrade his dignity by an out- 
burst of impotent rage. The tern 
pest of his feelings was checked by 
controlling reason. Stepping forward 
toward the inexorable man, with the 
courage and modesty of a hero, ho 
delivered that address which is one 
of the masterpieces of Hebrew lit- 
erature. It is not distinguished by 
the charms of a rhetorician. its 
strength and beauty lie in the selec- 
tion, arrangement, and intrinsic em- 
phasis of the facts. The deep and 
fervent love of the aged father for 
his youngest son forms the central 
fact, round which the other parts 
of the speech — the allusion to Jo- 
seph, to Rachel, and to the struggle 
of the brothers before their depart- 
ure to Canaan — are skillfully grouped. 
Jacob would never survive, the loss 
of Benjamin, and, if they returned 
without him, they would see their 
father expire in agony before their 
eyes. Now, anxious to seal his fil- 
ial love by the greatest sacrifice he 
could offer, Judah was ready to re- 
nounce his home, his wife, his chil- 
dren, and toil forever in the drudg- 
ery of Egyptian bondage. 



sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn 
money. And he did according to the word 
that s J6'§eph had spoken. 

3 As soon as the morning was light, the men 
were sent away, they and their asses. 

4 And when they were gone out of the city, 
and not yet far off, J J6'seph said Unto his 
steward, Up, follow after the men; and when, 
thou dost overtake them, say unto them, 
Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? 

5 Is not this it in which my Lord drinketh, 
and whereby indeed he 'divineth? ye have done 
evil in so doing. 

6 If And he overtook them, and he spake unto 
them these same words. 

7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith 
my lord these words? God forbid that thy 
servants should do according to this thing: 

8 Behold, the money, "which we found in our 
sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out 
of the land of Ca'naan: how then should we 
steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold? 

9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be 
found, both 6 let him die, and we also will be 
my lord's bondmen. 

10 And s he said, Now also let it be according 
unto your words: he with whom it is found 
shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless. 

11 Then they speedily took down every man 
his sack to the ground, and opened every man 
his sack. 

12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, 
and left at the youngest: and the cup was 
found in Ben'ja-min's sack. 

13 Then they rent c their clothes, and laded 
every man his ass, and returned to the city. 

14 H And Ju'dah and his brethren came to 
Jo'seph's house; for he was yet there: and 
they fell ^before him on the ground. 

15 And Mo'seph said unto them, What deed 
is this that ye have done? wot ye not that 
such a man as I can certainly divine? 

16 And Ju'dah said, What f shall we say 
unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how 
shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out 
the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we fare 
my lord's servants, both we, and he also with 
whom the cup is found. 

17 And he said, God forbid that I should do 
so: but the man in whose hand the cup is 
found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, 
get you up in peace unto your father. 

18 If Then "Ju'dah came near unto him, and 
said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, 
speak a word in my lord's ears, and let "not 
thine anger burn against thy servant: for 
thou art even as Pha'raoh. 



c. Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, 
and rest yourselves under the tree. (Gen. 18:4.) And the man came 
into the house; and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and 
provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's 
feet that were with him. (Gen. 24:32.) And he turned to the woman 
and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine 
house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath washed my 
feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. (Lu. 7:44.) 
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if 
she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she 
have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good 
work. (I Tim. 5:10.) 

d. Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee; be lord 
over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee; cursed 
be every one that curseth thee; and blessed be he that blesseth thee. 
(Gen. 27:29.) For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo. 
my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood 
round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf (7). And he told it to 
his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said 
unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy 
mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee 
to the earth? (Gen. 37:7, 10.) The evil bow before the good; and the 
wicked at the gates of the righteous. (Prov. 14:19.) 

e. That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle 
from our youth even until now, both we and also our fathers; that ye 
may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination 
unto the Egyptians. (Gen. 46:34.) And Moses said. It is not meet so to 
do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord 
our God; lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before 
their eyes, and will they not stone us? (Ex. 8:26.) 

Chapter 44. 

a. And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened 
our =acks : and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, 



our money in full weight; and we have brought it again in our hand. 
(Gen. 43:21.) 

b. With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live; be- 
fore our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to 
thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. (Gen. 31:32.) 

c. And Reuben returned unto the pit, and behold, Joseph was not 
in the pit; and he rent his clothes (29). And Jacob rent his clothes, 
and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 
(Gen. 37:29, 34.) Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them: and 
likewise all the men that were with him. (II Sam. 1:11.) Then the 
king arose and tare his garments, and lay on the earth, and all his 
servants stood by with their clothes rent. (II Sam. 13:31.) 

d. For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my 
sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood 
round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. (Gen. 37:7.) 

e. Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine 
hand upon my mouth. (Job 40:4.) Slay utterly old and young, both 
maids, and little children, and women; but come not near any man upon 
whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the 
ancient men which were before the bouse. (Ez. 9:6.) Against thee, thee 
only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight; that thou mightest 
be justified when thou speakest and be clear when thou judgest. (Ps. 
51:4.)

speak: Peradventure there shall 30 be found there. And he said. I will not 
do it if I find 30 there (30). And he said. O let not the Lord be angry, 
and I will speak yet but this once; Peradventure 10 shall be found there. 
And he said, I will not destroy it for 10 sake. (Gen. 18:30, 32.) And 
Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the 
people, that they are set on mischief. (Ex. 32:22.) Wherefore, my be- 
loved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak; slow to 
wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

19 3Iy lord asked his servants, saying, Have 
ye a father, or a brother? 

20 And we said unto my lord, We have a 
father, an old man, and a child of his old age, 
a little one; and his brother is dead, and he 
alone is left of his mother, and his father 
loveth him. 

21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring 
"him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes 
upon him. 

22 And we said unto my lord, The lad can- 
not leave his father: for if he should leave his 
father, his father would die. 

23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Ex- 
cept 'your youngest brother come down with 
you, ye shall see my lace no more. 

24 And it came to pass when we came up 
unto thy servant my father, we told him the 
words of my lord. 

25 And our father said, Go again, and buy 
us a little food. 

26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our 
youngest brother be with us, then will we go 
down : for we may not see the man's face, 
except our youngest brother be with us. 

27 And thy servant my father said unto us, 
Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: 

28 And the one went out from me, and I 
said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw 
him not since: 

29 And if ye take 'this also from me, and 
mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my 
gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. 

30 Xow therefore when I come to thy serv- 
ant my father, and the lad be not with us; 
seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life; 

31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that 
the lad is not with us, that he will die: and 
thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs 
of thy servant our father with sorrow to the 
grave. 

32 For thy servant became 'surety for the 
lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not 
unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my 
father for ever. 

33 Xow therefore, I pray thee, let thy serv- 
ant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my 
lord ; and let the lad go up with his brethren. 

34 For how shall I go up to my father, and 
the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I 
see the evil that shall come on my father.

And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom 
ye fc sold into Egypt. 

5 Xow therefore be not grieved, 'nor angry

God f did send me before you to preserve life. 

6 For these two years hath the famine been 
in the land: and yet there are five years, in 
the which there shall neither be earing nor 
harvest. 

7 And God sent me before you to preserve 
you a posterity in the earth, and to save your 
lives by a great deliverance. 

I 8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, 
but God : and he hath made me a 7 father d to

ruler throughout all the land of E'gypt.

say unto him, Thus saith thy son Jo'seph, God 
hath made me lord of all E'gypt: come down 
unto me, tarry not: 

10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of G" -

and thy children, and thy children's children, 
and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou 
hast:

there are five years of famine; lest thou, and 
thy household, and all that thou hast, come to 
poverty. 

12 And. behold, your eye? see, and the eyes 
of my brother : Ben ja-min. that it is "my 
mouth that speaketh unto you. 

13 And ye shall tell my father of all my 
glory in E'gypt, and of all that ye have seen; 
and ye shall haste and bring down my father 
hither. 

14 And he fell upon his brother '"Ben'ja- 
min's neck, and wept; and "Ben'ja-min wept 
upon his neck. 

15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and 
wept upon them: and after that his brethren 
talked with him.

Pharaoh's house, saying. Mo'seph's brethren

unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your 
beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Ca- 
naan; 

18 And take your father and your house-

my children; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Ben- 
jamin away: all these things are against me (36). And he said. My 
son shall not go down with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left 
alone; if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye 
bring down mv grav hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Gen. 42:36, 38.)

a. But now it has come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toueheth 
thee, and thou art troubled. (Job 4:5.) Therefore am I troubled at his 
presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him. (Job 23:15.) Thou 
holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. (Ps. 
77:4.) And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea. they were 
troubled, saving. It is a spirit; and thev cried out for fear. (Math. 
14:26.) 

b. Then there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew 
and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites 
for 20 pieces of silver; and they brought Joseph into Egypt. (Gen. 37:38.) 



c. But as for you. ye thought evil against me; but God meant it 
unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 
(Gen. 50:20.) And the king said. What have I to do with you, ye sons 
of Zeruiah^: So let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto him. 
Curse David. Who shall then say. Wherefore hast thou done so? And 
David said to Abishai, and to all his servants. Behold, my son, which 
came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life; how much more now may 
this Benjamite do it? Let him alone, and let him curse, for the Lord 
hath bidden him. (TJ Sam. 16:10, 11.) Moreover he called for a famine 
upon the land; he brake the whole staff of bread. He sent a man before 
them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant. (Ps. 105:16. 17.) The 
God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, 
hath glorified his son Jesus: whom ye delivered up, and denied him in 
the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. (Acts 
3:13.) 

d. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had: 
and they cried before him. Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over 
all the land of Egypt. (Gen. 41:43.) And Micah said unto him. Dwell 
with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee 10 
shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. 
So the Levite went in. (jud. 17:10.)

of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine. (Gen. 27:28.) All the

of them which thev shall offer unto the Lord, them have I given thee.

20 Also "regard not your stuff; for the good 
of all the land of E'gypt is your's. 

21 And the children of Is'ra-el did so: and 
'JS'seph gave them wagons, according to the 
commandment of Pha'raoh, and gave them pro- 
vision for the way. 

22 To all of them he gave each man changes 
of raiment; but to 10 Ben'ja-min he gave three 
hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of 
raiment. 

23 And to his father he sent after this man- 
ner; ten asses laden with the good things of 
E'gypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and 
bread and meat for his father by the way. 

24 So he sent his brethren away, and they 
departed: and he said unto them, See that ye 
fall a2 not out by the way. 

25 If And they went up out of E'gypt, and 
came into the land of Ca'naan unto Ja'cob 
their father, 

26 And told him saying, 'Joseph is yet alive, 
and he is governor over all the land of E'gypt. 
And "Ja'cob's heart fainted, for he believed 
them not. 

27 And they told him all the words of 'Jo'- 
seph, which he had said unto them: and when 
he saw the wagons which J5'§eph had sent to 
carry him, the spirit of "Ja'cob their father 
revived : 

28 And "Is'ra-el said, It is enough; Jo'seph 
my son is yet alive: I will go and see him be- 
fore I die. 

CHAPTER 46. 

1 Jacob is comforted by God at Beer-sheba: 5 
Thence he with his company goeth into 
Egypt. 8 The number of his family that 
went into Egypt. 29 Joseph meeteth Jacob. 
31 He instructeth his brethren how to ansiver 
to Pharaoh. 

1 And 'Is'ra-el took his journey with all that 
he had, and came to 2 Be'er-she'ba, and offered 
sacrifices unto the God of his father I'saac. 

2 And God 3 spake unto Is'ra-el in the visions 
of the night, and said, Ja'cob, Ja'cob. And he 
said, Here am I. 

3 And he said, I am God, the_ God of thy 
father: fear not to go down into E'gypt; for I 
will there make of thee "a great nation: 

4 I will go down with Hhee into E'gypt; and 
I will also 4 surely c bring thee up again: and 
^Jo'seph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 

5 And Ja'cob rose up from Be'er-she'ba: and 
the "sons of Is'ra-el carried Ja'cob their father, 
and their little ones, and their wives, in the 
wagons which Pha'raoh had sent to carry him. 

6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, 
which they had gotten in the land of Ca'naan, 
and came into E'gypt, Ja'cob, and all his seed 
with him: 

7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his 
daughters, and his sons' daughters, and 7 all 
his seed brought he with him into E'gypt. 

8 If And these are the names of the children 
of Is'ra-el, which came into E'gypt, Ja'cob and 
his sons: Reu'ben, Ja'cob's firstborn.

ers, lest ye "fall out" with one an- 
other on the way. 

13. See 9, ch. 25, for history of 
Jacob. 

14. The change of name from Ja- 
cob to Israel is quite significant here, 
and seems to have been studiously 
used in this verse inasmuch as the 
prophecy tuat Jacob should be th^> 
heir of the great promises made to 
Abraham, was being fulfilled and the 
name Israel being realized. 

Ch. 46. B. C. 1706. 

NOTE. — In ch. 17 the chosen fam- 
ily of Abraham is to be developed in- 
to a chosen nation. The prophecy of 
ch. 15:13-15 is about 1 to be real- 
ized, and therefore Jacob recognizes 
the call of Jehovah in the command 
to go down into Egypt. For more 
than two centuries Abraham and his 
children had talked and walked with 
Jehovah as they moved from one pas- 
ture to auolher between Shechem and 
Beersheba. Amidst the hostile and 
idolatrous Canaanitish cribes the 
chosen family had no opportunity of 
development, and were in constant 
danger of absorption; but in the 
Egyptian sojourn now before them, 
they were to come in contact with 
the world's highest civilization, thus 
becoming cultured, yet having the 
requisite isolation and antagonism 
to save their religion and their na- 
tional life from extinction. 

1. In the opening statement the 
writer uses the covenant name "Is- 
rael" instead of the personal name 
"Jacob." from the sense of the na- 
tional significance of the journey just 
before them; but after the journey is 
once begun, the attention is imme- 
diately directed to the personal ex- 
periences and movements of Jacob 
individually, through whom the na- 
tional spirit is to be worked out. 

2. How fitting that he should 
pause here and offer sacrifices to Je- 
hovah! Here Abraham had called on 
Jehovah, the everlasting God, and 
here Isaac, his father, had first 
taught Jacob the name of God. 

3. Jacob, oppressed and saddened 
as he turns his back upon the land 
of promise, is cheered when God 
spoke to him as he had done to 
Abraham in a similar crisis (ch. 
15:1) and to Isaac when the same 
doubt oppressed him (eh. 26:24). 

4. Not literally true that he would 
bring Jacob back in person (because 
he told Jacob "Joseph shall put his 
hands upon thine eyes." meaning to 
close them in death) but in the cho- 
sen people which were to spring 
from him. as the heir of God's cove- 
nant — though he should die in Egypt, 
he would return in them. 

5. See 3, ch. 44, for history of 
Joseph. 

6. That is. sons of the covenant. 

7. This list of names is not a full 
census of the whole family of Israel 
since none <-f the wives are mentioned 
and only two female descendants are 
mentioned; neither is it intended to 
give all the grandchildren who were 
born in Canaan.; for, as his sons mi- 
grated in the prime of life, it is 
highly improbable that no children 
were born to them in Egypt, where 
it is said that Israel was "fruitful 
and increased abundantly." Here is 
given simply a list of the heads of 
tribes, and of the grandsons and of 
the great grandsons and of the great 
great grandsons who became heads 
of independent tribal families, wheth- 
er born in Canaan or in Egypt. In 
Num. 26, the list is given again, but 
there five of the grandsons who are 
here mentioned, are left out, prob- 
ably because their families became 
extinct. The two women are men- 
tioned probably because of seme his- 
torical importance. (Newhall. )

a. And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian 
ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt and so- 
journed there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, 
and populous. (Dt. 26:5.) 

b. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places 
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will 
not leave thee, until -I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 
(Gen. 28:15.) And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die; hut God shall 
be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. (Gen. 
48:21.) The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right 
hand (5). The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall preserve 
thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in 
from this time forth, and even for ever more. (Ps. 121:5, 7, 8.) 



c. But in the 4th generation they shall come hither again; for the 
iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. (Gen. 15:16.) For his sons car- 
ried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the 
field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a pos- 
session of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mature (13). 
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die; and God will surely visit you, 
and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abra- 
ham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And Joseph took an oath of the children 
of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my 
bones from hence. (Gen. 50:13, 24, 25.) 

d. And all the souls that come out of the loins of Jacob were 70 
souls; for Joseph was in Egypt already. (Ex. 1:5.)

dwell in the land of Go'shen. 

5 And Pha'raoh spake unto "JS'seph. saying. 
Thy father and thy brethren are come unto 
thee: 

6 The land of E'gypt is before thee; in the 
best of the land make thy father and brethren 
to dwell; in the land of Go'shen let them dwell: 
and if thou knowest any men of 'activity 
among them, then make them ^rulers over 
my cattle. 

7 And 'Jo'seph brought in Ma'cob his father. 
and set him before Pha'raoh: and Jacob 
blessed Pha'raoh. 

8 And Pha'raoh said unto 3 Ja'cob, How old 
art thou? 

9 And Jacob said unto Pha'raoh. The days 
of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred 
and thirty years : few 'and evil have the days 
of the years of my life been, and have not 'at- 
tained unto the days of the years of the life 
of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. 

10 And- : Ja'cob blessed Pha'raoh, and went 
out from before Pha'raoh. 

11 ""And '"Jo'seph placed his father and his 
brethren, and gave them a possession in the 
land of E'gypt. in the best of the land, in the 
land of Ra-me'ses, as Pha'raoh had com- 
manded. 

12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his 
brethren, and all his father's household, with 
bread, according to their families.

of Egypt and all the land of Ca'naan fa

14 And Joseph gathered up all the i. 
that was found in the land of E try 'fpt, and in 
the land of Ca'naan, for the corn which they 
bought^ and Joseph brought the money into 
Pha'raoh's house. 

15 And when 'money failed in the land of 
Egypt* anc * in the land of Ca'naan, all the 
E-gyp tians came unto Joseph, and said, Give 
us bread: for why 'should we die in thy 
presence? for the money faileth. 

16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; ana 
I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 

17 And they brought their cattle unto J" - 
seph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange 
for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cat- 
tle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed 
them with bread for all their cattle for that 
year. 

18 When that year was ended, they came 
unto him the : second year, and said unto him, 

:il not hide it from my lord, how that our 
money is spent; my lord also hath our herds 
of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight 
of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: 

19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, 
both we and our land? Tduv us and our land 
for bread, and we and our land will be serv- 
ants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we 
may live, and not die, that the land be not 
desolate. 

20 And : Jo'seph bought all the land of 
E'gypt for Pha'raoh; for the E-gyp'tians sold 
every man his field, because the famine pre- 
vailed over them: so the land became Pha'- 
raoh's. 

21 And as for the people, he 'removed_ them 
to cities from one end of the borders of E gypt 
even to the other end thereof. 

22 Only the land of the priests bought he 
not; for the priests had a poi -:gned 
them of Pha'raoh. and did eat their p 
which Pha'raoh gave them: wherefore they 
sold not their lands. 

23 Then \J6'seph said unto the people. Be- 
hold, I have bought you this day and your 
land for Pha'raoh: lo, here is seed for you, 
and ye shall sow the land. 

And it shall come to pass in the increase. 
ye shall give the fifth part unto Pha'raoh. 
and four parts shall be your own. for seed of 
the field, and for your food, and for them of 
your households, and for food for your little 
ones. 

25 And they said. Thou hast saved our lives: 
3 find grace in the sight of my lord, and 

we will be Pha'raoh's servants. 

26 And "JS'seph made it a law over the land 
of E'grypt unto this day, that Pha'raoh should 
have the fifth part; except the land of the 
priests only, which became not Pha'ra'~.

E'gypt, in the country of Go'shen; and they

said unto him, If now I have found grace in 
thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under 
my "thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; 
bury me not, I pray thee, in E'gj'pt. 

30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou 
shalt carry me out of E'gypt, and bury me in 
their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as 
thou hast said. 

31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he 
sware unto him. And Is'ra-el bowed himself 
upon the bed's head. 

CHAPTER 48. 
1 Joseph with his sons visiteth his sick father. 
3 Jacob repeateth the premise. 7 He telleth 
Joseph of his mother's grave. 9 He blesseth 
Ephraim and Manasseh. 21 He prophesieth 
their return to Canaan. 

1 And it came to pass 1 after these things, 
that one told ■Jo'seph, Behold, thy father is 
sick: and he = took with him his two sons, Ma- 
nas'seh and E'phra-im. 

2 And one told 4 Ja'cob, and said, Behold, thy 
son Jo'seph cometh unto thee: and Is'ra-el 
strengthened himself and sat upon the bed. 

3 And 4 Ja'cob said unto 2 Jo'seph, God Al- 
mighty appeared unto me at : 'Luz a in the land 
of Canaan, and blessed me, 

4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make 
thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will 
make of thee a multitude of people; and will 
give this land to thy seed after thee for an 
everlasting possession. 

5 H And now thy ''two sons, E'phra-im and 
Ma-nas'seh, which were born unto thee in the 
land of E'gypt before I came unto thee into 
E'gypt, "are mine; as Reuben and Sim'e-on, 
they shall be mine. 

6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after 
them, shall be thine, and shall be called after 
the name of their brethren in their inheritance. 

7 And as for me, when I came from Pa'dan, 
Ra'chel died by me 'in the land of Canaan in 
the way, when yet there was but a little way 
to come unto Eph'rath: and I buried her there 
in the way of Eph'rath; the same is Beth'le- 
hem. 

8 And T Is'ra-el beheld 2 J5'seph's sons, and 
said, Who are these? 

9 And Jo'seph said unto his father, They 
are my sons, whom God hath given me in this 
place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, 
unto me, and I will bless them. 

10 Now the eyes of 7 Is'ra-el 5 were dim for 
age, so that he could not see. And he brought 
them near unto him; and he kissed them, and 
embraced them. 

11 And r Is'ra-el said unto 2 Jo'seph, I had not 
thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath 
shewed me also thy seed. 

12 And 2 J5'seph brought them out from be- 
tween his knees, and he bowed himself with 
his face to the earth.

9. Used euphemistically for the 
genital organ or creative organ of the 
body, which had become the symbol 
of the Creator, and object of wor- 
ship among all nations of antiquity, 
and it is for this reason that God 
claimed it as the sign of the cove- 
nant between himself and his chosen 
people in the rite of circumcision. 
Nothing, therefore, could render the 
oath more solemn in those days than 
touching the symbol of creation, the 
sign ox the covenant.

3.' Joseph not only hastens to his 
father's bedside to see the sick, but 
takes with him his two sons to se- 
cure Jacob's blessings' upon them, 
and to have them formally recognized 
as heirs of the covenant promises 
from which their Egyptian birth had 
alienated them for a time.

6. They are to have the tribal 
ranks of sons though they are grand- 
sons. It is said that because of his 
sins. Reuben was deprived of his 
birthright. (I Chr. 5:1, 2) — "Now 
the sous of Reuben, the firstborn of 
Israel (for he was the firstborn; 
but. forasmuch as he defiled his fa- 
ther's bed, his birthright was given 
unto the sons of Joseph, the son of 
Israel, and the genealogy is not to 
be reckoned after the birthright. 
For Judah prevailed above his breth- 
ren, and of him came the chief ruler; 
but the birthright was Joseph's)." 
Now given unto his two sons thus 
gave Joseph a double portion, which 
was reckoned as one of the privileges 
of the firstborn. 

7. The covenant-name of Jacob. 

8. Joseph had purposely placed 
Manasseh. the elder, on Jacob's right 
to receive the first blessing; but. as 
if guided by Providence through his 
blindness, Jacob crosses his hands and 
places his right hand on Ephraim's 
head. 

9. Was evil in his eye, and he 
sought to correct what he thought 
was a mistake on the part of his fa- 
ther. But Israel said. "The younger 
brother shall be greater." (Gen. 4S: 
19.) 

Ch. 49. B. C. 1689. 

NOTE. — In ch. 49 is given a record 
of Jacob's calling his sons together, 
and, in the form of prophecy, pro- 
nouncing curses on Reuben, Simeon 
and Levi and blessings on the others. 
The moral instability of Reuben, the 
disorganized social condition of Sim- 
eon and Levi, the ideal sovereignty 
and vine-clad territory of Judah. the 
maritime advantages enjoyed by Zeb- 
ulun. the ignoble indifference which 
led Issachar to prefer ease to inde- 
pendence, the quick and effective at- 
tack of Dan. the war-like bravery of 
Gad, the richness of Asher's soil, the 
blessings of populousness, military 
efficiency, climate and soil showered 
upon Joseph, the martial skill and 
success of Benjamin — these briefly 
are the features which the poet se- 
lects and develops, one after another, 
in varied and effective imagery. 
I Hastings.) Since the time of Abra- 
ham the covenant promise and chosen 
seed have been represented by one 
great father or patriarch, but hence- 
forth they are to be represented by 
twelve tribes instead. And therefore 
it is fitting, as in this ch. recorded. 



his right hand toward Is'ra-ePs left hand_. and 
Ma-nas'seh in his left hand toward Is'ra-el's 
right hand, and brought them near unto him. 

14 And Is'ra-el stretched out his right hand, 
and laid it upon E'phra-im's head, who was 
the younger, and his left hand upon Ma-nas'- 
seh's head, ^guiding his hands wittingly; for 
Ma-nas'seh was the firstborn. 

15 1i And he blessed "Jojeph, and said, God, 
before whom my fathers A'bra-ham and I'§aac 
did walk, the God which fed me all my life 
long unto this day, 

16 The Angel which redeemed me from all 
evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named 
on them, and the name of my fathers A'bra- 
ham and I'saac; and let them grow into a mul- 
titude in the midst of the earth. 

17 And when 2 Jo'§eph saw that his father 
laid his right hand upon the head of E'phra-im, 
it 9 displeased him: and he held up his father's 
hand, to remove it from E'phra-im's head unto 
Ma-nas'seh's head. 

18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, 
my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy 
right hand upon his head. 

19 And his father* refused, and said, I know 
it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a 
people, and he also shall be great: but truly 
his younger brother shall be greater than he, 
and his seed shall become a multitude of na- 
tions. 

20 And he blessed them that day, saying, 
In thee shall 7 Is'ra-el bless, saying, God make 
thee_as E'phra-im and as Ma-nas'seh: and he 
set E'phra-im before Ma-nas'seh. 

21 And 7 Is'ra-el said unto 2 J5'§eph, Behold, 
I die: but God shall be with you, and bring 
you again unto the land of your fathers. 

22 Moreover I have given to thee one por- 
tion above thy brethren, which I took out of 
the hand of the Am'or-ite with my sword and 
with my bow. 

CHAPTER 49. 
1 Jacob calleth his sons to bless them. 3 Their 
blessing in particular. 29 He chargeth them 
about his burial. 33 He dieth. 

1 And 'Ja'cob called unto his sons, and said, 
Gather yourselves together, that I may "tell 
you that which shall befall you in the last 
days. 

2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye 
sons of Ma'cob; and hearken 6 unto 2 Is'ra-el 
your father. 

3 H Reu'ben, thou art my firstborn, my 
''might, and the beginning of my Strength, the 
excellency of dignity, and the excellency of 
4 power. 

4 5 Unstable as water, thou ''shalt not excel; 
because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; 
then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. 

5 If Sim'e-on and Le'vi are brethren ; instru- 
ments 6 of cruelty are in their habitations. 

6 O my soul, come not thou into their 
secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be 



that the voice of prophecy should is- 
sue from the lips of Jacob, the last 
of the great patriarchs, before his 
death. Israel will have no successor 
like himself, therefore the Book of 
Gen. ends with the generations of 
Jacob.

3. Might and strength refer to 
physical energy.

sin) is to be transferred to Judah

uous intercourse with Bilhah. his fa- 
ther's concubine. (Ch. 35:22.) 



6. Reference to the cruel slaugh- 
ter of the Shechemites (Gen. 34:25 
31). As Reuben's incest cost him 
the rights and glory of the first- 
born, so the bloody deed of Simeon 
and Levi brings them curses instead 
of blessings. 



Chapter 48. 

a. And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord 
God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land whereon 
thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. (Gen. 28:13.) And 
God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make 
there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest 
from the face of Esau thy brother. (Gen. 35:1.) 

h. And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were 
dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said 
unto him, My son; and he said unto him, Behold, here am I (1). And 
make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, 
that my soul may bless thee before I die. (Geu. 27:1, 4.) 

Chapter 49. 

a. And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed 



the children of Israel before his death. (Dt. 33:1.) Surely the Lord God 
will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the 
prophets. (Amos 3:7.) Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is 
poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that 
are in thy land within thy gates. (Dt. 24:14.) 

b. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear 
of the Lord. (Ps. 34:11.) 

c. Now the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel (for he was the 
firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birth- 
right was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the 
genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright). (I Chr. 5:1.) 

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben 
went and lay with Bilhah. his father's concubine; and Israel heard ;t. 
Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. (Gen. 33:'--2.)

31 There they buried A'bra-ham and Sa'rah 
his wife; there they buried I'saac and Re-bek'- 
ah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 

32 The purchase of the field and of the cave 
that is therein was from the children of Heth. 

33 And when "Ja'cob had made an end of 
commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet 
into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was 
gathered unto his people.

leave of Pharaoh to go to bury him. 7 The 
funeral. 22 His age. 23 He seeth the third 
generation of his sons. 24 He prophesieth 
unto his brethren of their return. 26 He 
dieth. 

1 And 'Jo'seph : fell upon his father's face, 
and wept upon him. and kissed him. 

2 And 'Jo'seph commanded his servants th? 
physicians to "embalm his father: and the 
physicians embalmed is'ra-el. 

3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; 
for so are fulfilled the days of those which are 
embalmed: and the E-gyp'tians "'mourned for 
him threescore and ten days. 

4 And when the days of his mourning were 
past, 'Jo'seph spake unto the house of Pha'- 
raoh, saying, If now I have found grace in 
your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of 
Pha'raoh, saying, 

5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I 
die: in my grave which I have digged for me 
in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury 
me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, 
and bury my father, and I will come again. 

6 And Pha'raoh said, Go up, and bury thy 
father, according as he made thee swear. 

7 ' And 'Jo'seph went up to bury his father: 
and with him went up all the servants of Pha'- 
raoh, the elders of his house, and 5 all the elders 
of the land of Egypt, . 

8 And all the house of Mo'seph, and his 
brethren, and his father's house: only their 
little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, 
they left in the land of G5'shen. 

9 And there went up with him both chariots 
and horsemen: and it was a very great com- 
pany. 

10 And they came to the threshing-floor of 
A'tad, which is beyond Jordan, and there 
they mourned with a great and very sore 
lamentation: and he made a mourning for his 
father seven days. 

11 And when the inhabitants of the land. 



d. For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly 
one. (Job 5:2.) A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty: but a fool's 
wrath is heavier than them both. (Prov. 27:3.) And my wrath shall 
wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword: and your wives shall be 
widows, and your children fatherless. (Ex. 22:24.) Wherefore, my he- 
loved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow 
to wrath. (Ja. 1:19.) 

e. I shall see him, but not now: I will behold him, but not nigh: 
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of 
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the chil- 
dren of Sheth. (Num. 24:17.) The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength 
out of Zion; rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. (Ps. 110:2.) Say- 
ing, Where is he that is horn King of the Jews? for we have seen his star 
in the east, and are come to worship him. (Math. 2:2.) 

f. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand 
for an ensign of the people: to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest 
shall be glorious. (Is. 11:10.) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, 
and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Is. 60:3.) And I will shake 
all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come; and I will fill this 
house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. (Hag. 2:7.) 



g. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy command- 
ments (166). I have longed for thv salvation, O Lord: and thy law 
is my delight. (Ps. 119:166. 174.) 

h. Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up him- 
self as a voung lion; he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and 
drink the blood of the slain. (Xum. 23:24.) Behold, the day of the Lord 
cometh, and thy spoil shall he divided in the midst of thee. (Zech. 14:1.)

a. And they buried him in his own sepulchres which he had made 
for himself in tie city of David, and laid him In the bed which was filled 
with sweet odors and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' 
art: and they made a very great burning for him. (II Chr. 36:14.1 And 
there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus - 
and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound 
weight. Then took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes 
with the spices, as the "manner of the Jews is to bury. (Jno. 19:39. 40.) 

b. And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they 
mourned for Aaron 30 days, even all the house of Israel. (Num. 2o:29.) 
And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab 30 c 

so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. (Dt.

the Ca'naan-ite§, saw the mourning in the 
floor of A'tad, they said, This is a grievous 
mourning to the E-gyp'tians: wherefore the 
name of it was called : A'bel-miz'ra-im, which is 
beyond Jor'dan. 

12 And his sons did unto him according as 
he commanded them: 

13 For his c sons carried him into the land 
of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the 
field of Mach-pe'lah, which A'bra-ham bought 
with the field for a possession of a burying- 
place of E'phron the Hit'tite, before Mam're. 

14 r And 'Jo'seph returned into E'gypt, he, 
and his brethren, and all that went up with 
him to bury his father, after he had buried 
his father. 

15 ^And when Md'seph's brethren saw that 
their father was dead, they said, Jo'§eph will 
peradventure hate us, and will certainly re- 
quite us all the evil which we did unto him. 

16 And they sent a messenger unto Jo'§eph. 
saying, Thy father did command before he 
died, saying, 

17 So shall ye say unto Mo'seph, Forgive, 
I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, 
and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: 
and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass 
of the servants of the God of thy father. And 
^Jo'seph wept when they spake unto him. 



7. That is, it is not mine to pun- 
ish, God is your judge aud mine. 



S. Here at the sepulchre of Jo- 
seph ended the great book of Gen- 
erations, wherein are laid the his- 
torical, doctrinal, and ethical founda- 
tions of divine revelations. 



9. As the book of Gen. significant- 
ly closes with the words "in Egypt," 
be it remembered that for centuries 
the posterity of Jacob now vanishes 
from our sight, living in servile 
travail in Egypt. 



18 And his brethren also went and fell 
•Mown before his face; and they said, Behold, 
we be thy servants. 

19 And 'Joseph said unto them, Fear not: 
for 'am I the place of God? 

20 But as for '"you, ye thought evil against 
me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to 
pass, as it is this day, to save much people 
alive. 

21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will ^nour- 
ish you, and your little ones. And he com- 
forted them, and spake kindly unto them. 

22 f And "JS'seph dwelt in E'gypt, he, and 
his father's house: and Jo'seph lived an hun- 
dred and ten years. 

23 And Jo'seph saw E'phra-im's children of 
the third generation : the children also of Ma- 
chir the son of Ma-nas'seh were brought up 
upon Joseph's knees. 

24 And 'Jo'geph said unto his brethren, I 
die: and God will surely visit you, and bring 
you out of this land unto the land which he 
sware to A'bra-ham, to I'saac, and to Ja'cob. 

25 And Jo'seph took an oath of the children 
of Ts'ra-el, saying, God will surely visit you, 
and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. 

26 So "Jo'seph died, being an hundred and 
ten years old: and they embalmed him, and 
he was put in a coffin in "E'gypt. 



c. So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers. And 
were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham 
bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. 
(Acts 7:15, 16.) 

d. For. behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my 
sheaf arose and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood 
round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. (Gen. 37:7.) 

e. Every day they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against 



me for evil. (Ps. 56:5.) Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his 
heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations, not a 
few. (Is. 10:7.) 

f. And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his 
father's household, with bread, according to their families. (Gen. 47:12.) 
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do 
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use 
you, and persecute you. (Math. 5:44.) 



THE SECOND HOOK OF MOSES, CALLED 

EXODUS 



NOTE.— In Exodus is a continuation of the book of Genesis or Generations, the Book of Beginnings. Exodus Ls the second part of that book. Joined to thr- 
first by a simple connective particle, with Moses either as author direct or as partial author and compiler. 

In Exodus is found a record of the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, of their Journey to Sinai, and of the covenant and leg 
given at that mountain. Exodus not only gives a historical outline of the people whose wanderings it would chronicle, hut in the life and wanderings of tte-se 
people they find God everywhere. 

And this it is that gives to Exodus its real unity. Exodus portrays Jehovah the supreme God. ruling in Egypt, and master over nature; the faithful and 
persistent God who made his choice of the fathers of the Hebrew race and will not draw back: the God of grace who loves to give guidance, counsel, help, 
food, drink, every needed supply: the Holy One who requires obedience to his will, and ta'r 5 to make known that will; a jealous God who demands that 

due worship shall be paid to him. and to none else; the covenant God, and the two sides to the covenant are: I. Jehovah Is Israel's God. II. [Brae] Is .J.-hovah's 
people. In Exodus the sacred writer did not aim to furnish a full history of Israel, as the historian, but seeks to develop the fulfillment of God- 
hence he hastens over whole ages to the time of the accomplishment of the patriarchal promises. It thus becomes, not a history ..f Israel but Of '•■ 

The fabric of Divine Revelation has risen in Genesis like a pyramid in ten successive stages, broad as creation at the bottom, and narrowing 
mit. In Exodus, to a single family, which becomes lost from view in the darkness of Egyptian heathenism. The spiritual history of this family is now resumed. 
The way has been prepared and the writer proceeds to describe Jehovah as taking up his abode with men. 

Exodus furnishes us with Jehovah's movings in the birth and adoption of Israel. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The children of Israel, after Joseph's death, 
do multiply. 15 The godliness of the mid- 
wives, in saving the men children alive. 
22 Pharaoh commandeth the male children 
to be cast into the river. 

1 Now 'these are the names of the children 
of Is'ra-el, which came into E'gypt; every man 
and his household came with Ja'cob. 

2 Reuben, Sim'e-on, Le'vi, and Ju'dah, 

3 Is'sa-char, Zeb'u-lun, and Ben'ja-min, 

4 Dan, and Naph'ta-11, Gad, and Ash'er. 

5 And all the souls that came out of the 
loins of Ja'cob were seventy °souls: for Jo'- 
seph was in E'gypt already. 

6 And Jo'seph Mied, and all his brethren, 
and all that generation. 

7 If And the children of c Is'ra-el were ^fruit- 
ful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, 
and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land 
was filled with them. 

8 Now there arose up a hiew king over 
E'gypt, which, knew not Jo'seph. 

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the 
people of the ''children of Is'ra-el 4 are more 
and mightier than we: 

10 Come on, let us c deal wisely with them; 
lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, 
when there falleth out any war, they join also 
unto our enemies, and fight against us, and 
so get them up out of the land. 

11 Therefore they did set over them ^task- 
masters to afflict them with their burdens. 
And they built for Pha'raoh. treasure cities, 
Pi'thom and Ra-am'ses. 

12 "But the more they afflicted them, the 
more they multiplied and grew. And they were 
grieved because of the children of Is'ra-el.

13 And the E-gyp'tians made the children 
of Is'ra-el to serve with 7 rigour: 

14 And they ^made their lives 'bitter with 
hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in 
all manner of service in the field: all their 
service, wherein they made them serve, was 
with rigour. 

15 \ And the king of E'gypt spake to the 
He'brew midwives, of which the name of the 
one was Shiph'rah, and the name of the other 
Puah: 

16 And he said, 'When ye do the office of a 
midwife to the He'brew women, and see them 
upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall 
kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she 
shall live. 

17 But the midwives "feared God, and did 
not as the king of E'gypt commanded them, 
but saved the men children alive. 

18 And the king of E'gypt called for the 
midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye 
done this thing, and have saved the men chil- 
dren alive? 

19 And the ''midwives ! °said unto Pha'raoh, 
Because the He'brew women are not as the 
E-gyp'tian women; for they are lively, and 
are delivered ere the midwives come in unto 
them. 

20 Therefore God "dealt 'well with the mid- 
wives: and the people multiplied, and waxed 
very mighty. 

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives 
feared God, 'that he 12 made them houses.

ing, Every son that is born ye shall cast into

death at the moment of birth, and 
thus give the appearance of still 
birth. 



10. Made excuse, because they 
feared God, and said. "The Israel- 
ites give birth before the midwives 



get to them, so the order cannot be 
executed." 

11. God forgave tneir false excuse. 
because their intentions were good 



and they refused to do evil further 
than make a false statement in their 
defence. 

12. Increased their posterity. 



Ref. Exodus. Chapter 1. 

a. All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, -which came out 
of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore 
and six. And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were 
two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, 
were threescore and ten. (Gen. 46:26, 27.) Thy fathers went down into 
Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the Lord thy God hath 
made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude. (Dt. 10:22.1 

b. So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old; and they 
embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. (Gen. 50:26.) 

c. And he said, I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go 
down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation. (Gen. 
46:3.) And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger 
than their enemies. (Ps. 105:24.) But when the time of the promise 
drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and mul- 
tiplied in Egypt. (Acts 7:17.) 

d. And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than 
their enemies. (Ps. 105:24.) 

e. The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be 
taken in the devices that they have imagined. (Ps. 10:2.) They have 
taken crafty counsel, against thy people, and consulted against thy 
hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being 
a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 
(Ps. S3:3, 4.) He taketn the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel 
of the froward is carried headlong. (Job 5:13.) The prince that wanteth 
understanding is also a great oppressor; but he that hateth covetous- 
ness shall prolong his days. (Prov. 2S:16.) The same dealt subtilly 
with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast 
out their young children, to the end they might not live. (Acts 7:19.) 

f. How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in 



Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers. (Num. 
20:15.) 

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that 
honoreth him hath mercy on the poor. (Prov. 14:31.) And the king 
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as 
ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ve have done 
it unto me. (Math. 25:40.) 

g. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the 
Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) My flesh trembleth for fear 
of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. (Ps. 119:120.) Then they 
that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, 
and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for 
them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. (Mai. 3:16.) 

h. And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus. 
There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were. (Josh. 2:4 .1 

i. The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth 
righteousness shall be a sure reward. (Prov. H:1S.) Though a sinner 
do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know 
that it shall be well with them that fear God. which fear before him. 
(Ecc. S:12.) For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor 
of love, which ye have shown towar.d his name, in that ye have min- 
istered to the saints, and do minister. (Heb. 6:10.) Behold, the eye of 
the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. 
<Ps. 33:1S.) He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also 
will hear their cry. and will save them. (Ps. 145:19.) 

j. For thou, O Lord of hosts. God of Israel, hast revealed to thy 
servant, saying. I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant 
found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. (II Sam. 7:27.) And 
they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up 
my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that 
sefveth him. (Mai. 3:17.) The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear 
him, in those that hope in his mercy. (Ps. 147:11.)

CHAPTER 2. 

1 Moses is born, 3 and in an ark cast i)ito the 
flags. 5 He is found, and brought up by 
Pliaraolt's daughter. 11 He slaycth an 
Egyptian. 13 He reproveth an Hebrew. 
15 He fleeth into Midian. 21 He marrieth 
Zipporah. 22 Gershom is born. 23 God re- 
spect eth the Israelites' cry. 

1 And there went a man of the 'house of 
Le'vl, and took to "wife a "daughter of Levi. 

2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son : 
and when she saw him that he was a "goodly 
child, she 4,J hid him three months. 

3 And when she could not longer hide him, 
she took for him an "ark of bulrushes, and 
daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put 
the child therein; and she laid it in the flags 
by the river's brink. 

4 And "his sister stood afar off, to wit what 
would be done to him. 

5 r And the T daughter of s Pha'raoh came 
down to °wash herself at the river; and 
her maidens walked along by the river's side; 
and when she saw the ark among the flags, she 
sent her maid to fetch it. 

6 And when she had opened it, she saw the 
child : and, behold, the babe wept. And she 
had "'compassion on him, and said, This is one 
of the Hebrews' children. 

7 Then said his sister to s Pha 'raoh's daugh- 
ter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the 
He'brew women, that she may nurse the child 
for thee? 

8 And s Pha'radh's daughter said to her, Go. 
And the maid went and called the child's 
mother. 

9 And s Pha'raoh's daughter said unto her, 
Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and 
I will give thee thy wages. And the woman 
took the child, and nursed it.

fore God.

child, and was not afraid. 

5. Made of the bulrush, or papy- 
rus, a shrub which grows in the 
marshy places of Egypt. It was 
daubed with the mud, called slime, 
from which Egyptian bricks were

6. Miriam, his only sister. 

7. The respect paid to women in 
Egypt was much higher than in Asia 
or in Greece, and though Pharaoh had 
issued the order to kill all the male 
children of the Israelites, his daugh- 
ter found Moses in the bulrushes and 
preserved his life. 

S. Kameses II, of the 19th dynas- 
ty, is generally accounted the Pha- 
raoh of the oppression, and his sou 
and successor Meremptah is consid- 
ered to be the Pharoah of the Ex. 
All the kings named Eameses were 
great builders, but Rameses II was 
the greatest of them all. Several 
cities were called after him. He 
reigned 67 years. The mummies of 
R. II and Meremptah have both 
been discovered and are now retained 
in the British museum. While on 
the monument of Maremptah is found 
a record of the Israelites, yet the 
monuments of Egypt give us no rec- 
ord either o'f the oppression or the 
exodus. (Hast.)

considered as an emanation of the 
god Osiris, and bathing in its waters 
was devotional as well as sanitary, 
as the Nile was regarded as the

regard mercy as one of the chief con-

and he spied an E-gyp'tian smiting an He'brew, 
one of his brethren. 

12 And he "looked this way and that way, 
and when he saw that there was no man, he 
slew the E-gyp'tian, and hid him in the sand. 

13 And when he went out the second day, 
behold, two men of the He'brew? strove to- 
gether: and he said to him that did the wrong, 
Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 

14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and 
a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as 
thou killedst the E-gyp'tian? And M5'§es 
feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. 

15 Now when s Pha'raoli heard this thing, he 
sought to slay "Mo'se?. But M6'§e§ fled from 
the face of Pha'raoh, and dwelt in the land of 
Mid'i-an: and he sat down by a well. 

16 Now the priest of ^Mid'i-an had seven 
daughters: and they came and drew water, 
and filled the troughs to water their father's 
flock. 

17 And the shepherds came and drove them 
away: but Mo'§e§ "stood up and helped them, 
and watered their flock. 

18 And when they came to Reu'el their 
father, he said, How is it that ye are come 
so soon to day? 

19 And they said, An ,c E-gyp'tian delivered 
us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also 
drew water enough for us, and watered the 
flock. 



n t withheld milk from the mouths 
of infants." 

11. Rather Moshes '(from the 
Egypt, word Mos or Mas, to draw). 
Moses was born during the three 
years of the existence of the edict is- 
sued by the king, giving any one au- 
thority, to put to death every Hebrew 
male child. In order to preserve his 
life Ins mother made a little ark of 
bulrushes, and when the child was 
three months old (she being able to 
keep him concealed until this time), 
put him in the ark and set him afloat 
on the Nile, at or near the place 
where the daughter of Pharoah was 
wont to go and bathe daily. His sis- 
ter Miriam was set to watch that no 
harm befell the infant. 

He is discovered by Pharaoh's 
daughter who, despite the edict to 
kill all infant Hebrew male children, 
resolves to adopt him as her own 
child. His sister Miriam who had 
been watching offers to go and get 
a nurse, which offer is accepted by 
P. 's daughter, and the child's mother 
is brought as his hired nurse, in all 
of which there seems to have been 
the hand of God executing the plan. 
Moses is reared in the Egyptian court 
and given the best possible education 
capable in Egypt, but he always 
seems to have been bowed down and 
divinely impressed with the oppres- 
sion and sufferings of his people. At 
one time, while strolling among them, 
he sees a man attempting to kill a 
Hebrew man. Moses goes to the as- 
sistance and slays the offending party, 
but later fearing the deed may be- 
come known he flees into the land of 
Midian. and there at the well meets 
the seven daughters of the priest. 
He drives off the shepherds and as- 
sists the daughters to water their 
sheep, and afterward marries Zippo- 
rah, one of the seven daughters. 



After a time the king of Egypt from 
whom Moses had fled, died. Then 
Jehovah told M. to return to E. as 
"all the men who sought his life 
were dead." M. at once set out with 
his wife and son. but on the way 
Jehovah sought to kill him because 
he was not circumcised. Zipporah. 
his wife, averted the divine wrath by 
circumcising their son. On the way, 
after M. had reached Goshen, the an- 
gel of Jehovah appeared to him in 
a bush which burned without being 
consumed. Jehovah told M. that he 
had seen the oppression of his people 
and had come down to deliver them 
and bring them to Canaan and that 
he. M.. was to be their leader; but 
M. feared that the people would not 
believe Jehovah had sent him. where- 
upon J. gave him three signs to con- 
vince them, viz. : 1, a rod turned 
into a serpent and back into a rod 
again; 2, his hand made leprous and 
then restored to health; 3, water 
poured on the ground and turned into 
blood. Then M. pleads his lack of 
fluent speech, and J. answered, "I 
will be with thy mouth and teach 
thee what to say." Pharaoh refused 
to let the Israelites go, whereupon 
Jehovah, through Moses, inflicted the 
Egyptians with ten plagues, closing 
the plague season with the slaying 
of the firstborn of the Egyptians; 
and the E., in a panic, made the Is- 
raelites start on their journey in such 
haste that they carried their dough 
with them unbaked. The I., under 
the leadership of M., were guided by 
J. in. a pillar of cloud by day and 
fire by night. M. led the people in 
the wilderness toward the sea. Pha- 
raoh recovering from his terror, pur- 
sued them with his army. Coming up 
to them, the pillar placed itself be- 
tween the I.'s and the E.'s so as 
not only to guide the I.'s, but to con- 



fuse the E.'s. A strong east wind 
drove back the waters of the Red Sea 
and M. and his people crossed in 
safety, the waters again coming to- 
gether as the hosts of Pharaoh were 
attempting to cross and drowning 
them all. From the sea M. led Is- 
rael through the wilderness to Sinai 
and they camped before the mountain. 
Jehovah came down upon Sinai, called 
M. to him, and conversed with him. 
M. alone was allowed to approach Je- 
hovah, and from him, while on the 
mount, Moses received the Ten Com- 
mandments — the words of the cove- 
nant, written on two tables of stone. 
Without anything to eat or drink, M. 
remained with Jehovah forty days 
and forty nights. During this time 
the people corrupted themselves and 
made the golden calf. Jehovah now 
prepared to kill them all, but upon 
the intercession of M. he repented of 
the evil he would do them. 

When Moses reached the camp, he 
called to his side all who were faith- 
ful to Jehovah. The Levites respond- 
ed, and at the command of Moses 
killed 3.000 of the evil doers. Be- 
cause of their sin Jehovah now re- 
fused to go with them, essaying to 
send his angel; but, being moved by 
their prayers, he again relented and 
said, "My presence shall go with 
thee." After the departure from 
Sinai the Israelites were fed with 
manna froin heaven. At Kadesh they 
lacked water, but at the command of 
Jehovah M. smote the rock and the 
waters burst forth. M. sent Caleb 
and others to spy out the highlands 
of Canaan. They reported the land 
was fertile, but the inhabitants pow- 
erful. Because his people had tempt- 
ed him ten times none of the adults 
of that generation, save Caleb, were 
allowed to enter Canaan. Jehovah 
called M. to the top of Pisgah, 



whence he showed him all Canaan. 
After M.'s death Jehovah buried him 
in the valley of Moab. His tomb no 
man kuoweth. Though Jehovah had 
communed with his patriarchs, Moses 
is the first man to receive a divine 
commission to perform miracles. 
(Hast.) Especially was M. distin- 
guished by three qualities of charac- 
ter. First, faith; by faith he es- 
teemed the reproach of Christ greater 
riches than the treasuries in Egypt. 
Second, pray erf ulness; in every time 
of emergency his immediate resort 
was to Jehovah; he was not speaking 
to a' stranger but rather like a son 
making supplications to his father, 
so he never plead in vain; his was the 
prayer of faith. Third, humility; 
he coveted no distinction and sought 
no prominence; his humility was al- 
lied with, or naturally flowed out of, 
his meekness; day and night he la- 
bored for his people, never thinking 
of himself. The only blot upon his 
character was a lack of patience, o'r 
self-control, but this was more evi- 
dent in the earlier portion of his life 
than in later years. (Dr. W. W. Tay- 
lor. ) To Moses we owe that impor- 
tant portion of Holy Scripture, the 
Pentateuch, which makes us acquaint- 
ed with the creation of the world, 
the entrance of sin and death, the 
first promises of redemption, the 
flood, the peopling of the post-dilu- 
vian earth, the origin of nations, the 
call of Abraham, and the giving of 
the law.

a. And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of 
Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto 
Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. (Num. 26:59.) And 
Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him 
Aaron and Moses; and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred 
and thirty and seven years. (Ex. 6:20.) 

b. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his 
parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not 
afraid of the king's commandment. (Heb. 11:23.) 



c. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called 
the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with 
the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in 
Egypt; for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. (Heb. 
11:24-26.) For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had 
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the 
tents of wickedness. (Ps. 84:10.)

14. With the Hebrews names were 
significant of indicative character, as, 
tue change made by God, from Abram 
to Abraham, from Jacob to Israel, 
which indicated change of character 
and relation. When Jacob pleaded 
with the angel, "Tell me thy name?" 
he meant, "Reveal thy character," so 
now he desires to look at his commis- 
sion, and says "What is thy name?" 

15. The memorial name Jehovah, 
literally rendered, "I am, who am," 
i. e.. "I am he who is." "I only 
am he who exists in himself." Gram- 
matically the words here rendered "I 
am" is the first person, future of 
the verb of existence, 'translated as 
a present (the Hebrew has no proper 
present), which tense conveys the 
idea of the future continuance of the 
present state (Nordh, Heb. Gram. sec. 
964, 2). The word translated Jeho- 
vah (more properly Jahveb) is the 
third person, future, of the same 
verb, in its archaic form. Havah is 
as some think formed from this verb 
with a prefix and so Jehovah has the 
same meaning in the third person 
which this word has in the first. 
Thus the name afterward announced 
to Moses in Ex. 6:3, is the same as 
"I am." In the mouth of God it 
is. "I, who am," in the mouth of 
man it is "he, who is." This is the 
only real proper name of God. Other 
names set forth some of his attri- 
butes, attributes which, to some de- 
gree, he shares with creative beings. 
This name alone sets forth his inner- 
most, incommunicable nature. Our 
word Lord and God means governor,

CHAPTER 4. 

1 Moses's rod is turned into a serpent. 6 His 
. hand is leprous. 14 Aaron is appointed to 

assist him. 18 Moses departeth from Jethro. 

21 God's message to Pharaoh. 27 Aaron is 

sent to meet Moses. 31 The people believeth 

them. 

1 And 'Mo'§e§ answered and said, But, be- 
hold, they will not believe me, nor hearken 
unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord 
hath not appeared unto thee. 

2 And the Lord said unto him, What is that 
in thine hand? And he said, 2 A rod. 

3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And 
he cast it on the ground, and it became a ser- 
pent; and 'Mo'§e§ fled from before it. 

4 And the Lord said unto 'Mo'§e|, Put forth 
thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he 
put forth his hand, and caught, it, and it be- 
came a rod in his hand: 

5 That they may a believe that the Lord God 
of their fathers, the .God of A'bra-ham, the 
God of I'saac, and the God of Ja'cob, hath ap- 
peared unto thee. 

6 11 And the Lord said furthermore unto 
him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And 
he put his hand into his bosom: and when he 
took it out, behold, his hand 3 was leprous as 
snow. 

7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy 
bosom again. And he put his hand into his 
bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, 
and, behold, it was Hurned again as his other 
flesh. 

8 And it shall come to pass, if they will 
not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice 
of the first c sign, that they will believe the 
voice of the latter c sign. 

9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not 
believe also these two signs, neither hearken 
unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the %a- 
ter of the river, and pour it upon the dry land : 
and the "water which thou takest out of the 
river shall become blood upon the dry land. 

10 % And 'M5'§e§ said unto the Lord, O my 
Lord, I am not 5 eloquent, neither heretofore, 
nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: 
but I am slow c of speech, and of a slow tongue. 



Ch. 4. B. C. 1491. 

XOTE. — In ch. 4. Moses appears 
before us armed with supernatural 
power, which is the first instance of 
the kind in history. The patriarchs 
had communication with God in vis- 
ions waking or sleeping, but they 
wrought no miracles, for they held 
no mediatorial relation to mankind 



and needed no supernatural creden- 
tials, but now events have changed. 
A mediatorial nation was to be found- 
ed which should stand supernaturally 
accredited before mankind and the 
founder of this nation is therefore 
clothed with supernatural powers. 
It is also especially noteworthy that 
the Scriptures furnish no example of 
a miracle wrought by man till we 



reach the period of written history 
recorded by original witnesses. 

1. See 11, ch. 2. for historical ac- 
count of the life of Moses. 

2. The shepherd's staff. 

3. Even the signs which Jehovah 
gave. Moses were indicative of the na- 
tional conditions. For example, the 
second sign — the hand made leprous 
— symbolizes Israel, first fresh and 



young, then foul and weak, then 
clean and strong. 

4. The Nile was the Egyptian na- 
tional god. for its fertilizing power 
was deemed to proceed from Osiris 
himself. Thus Jehovah smites Egypt's 
life-giving god, which is stretched 
through the land a loathsome corpse, 
its water changed to blood. 

5. Lit. not a man of words. 



k. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the 
days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not 
fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) What shall we then say to 
these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 
Be strong, and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for 
the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, 
nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) For the Lord your God is he that goeth 
with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. (Dt. 20:4.) 
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear 
what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:6.) The Lord is my light, and my 
salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of 
whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) 

1. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by 
the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known 
to them. (Ex. 6:3.) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, Before Abraham was, I am. (Jno. 8:58.) Jesus Christ the same yes- 
terday, and today, and for ever. (Heb. 13:8.) 

m. And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die; and God will surely 
risit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware 
Jo Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. (Gen. 50:24.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick 
cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe 
thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord. 
(Ex. 19:9.) And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the 
mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, 
clouds, and thick darkness. And the Lord spake unto you out of the 



midst of the fire; ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; 
only ye heard a voice. (Dt. 4:11, 12.) 

b. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no God with me: I 
kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; neither is there any that 
can deliver out of my hand. (Dt. 32:39.) He that is our God is the God 
of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. 
(Ps. 68:20.) 

c. And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit 
it? And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old and a 
she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle- 
dove, and a young pigeon. And it came to pass, that, when the sun 
went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning 
lamp that passed between those pieces. (Gen. 15:8, 9, 17.) And he said 
unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign 
that thou talkest with me. (Jud. 6:17.) And Zacharias said unto the 
angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife 
well stricken in years. (Lu. 1:18.) And as he sat upon the Mt. of 
Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when 
shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of 
the end of the world? (Math. 24:3.) Then certain of the scribes and of 
the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee, 
but he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation 
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it; but the 
sign of the prophet Jonas. (Mat. 12:38, 39.) 

d. See ch. 7, v. 19. 

e. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a 
child. (Jer. 1:6.)

B. C. 1491 






11 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath ! 
made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, 
or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I 
the Lord? 

12 Now therefore go, and I will be 'with 
thy mouth, and fteach thee what thou shalt 
say. 

13 And he said, my Lord, send, I pray 
thee, by the hand of him whom thou 7 wilt 
send. 

14 And the E anger of the Lord was kindled 
against Mo'ses, and he said, Is not s Aar'on the 
Le'vite thy brother? I know that he can 
speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth 
to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will 
be glad in his heart. 

15 And thou i: 'shalt speak unto him, and 
-"put words in his mouth : and I will be with 
thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will 'teach 
you what ye shall do. 

16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the 
people: and he shall be, even he shall be to 
thee instead of a mouth, and thou A shalt be to 
him instead of God. 

17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine 
hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs. 

18 r And Mo'ses went and returned to Je'- 
thro his father in law, and said unto him, Let 
me go, I pray thee, and return unto my breth- 
ren which are in Egypt, and see whether they 
be yet alive. And Je'thro said to Md'ses, Go 
in peace. 

19 And the Lord said unto M5'ses in Mid - 
i-an, Go, return into E'gypt: for all the men 
are dead which sought thy life. 

20 And Mo'ses took his wife and his sons, 
and set themupon an ass. and he returned to 
the land of Egypt: and Mo'ses took the 'rod 
of God in his hand. 

21 And the Lord said unto 'Mo'ses, When 



6. Here for the first time prophet- 
ic inspiration is promised to man. 
henceforth in the whole subs 
history of the church we see this en- 
d"\vm-;nc of the Holy Ghost. 

7. Should send. 
S. The wrath. 

9. Aaron, the Levite, now first ap- 
pears, and Moses for a time retires 
behind him. This is nothing but nat- 
ural. For forty years Hoses has beeo 
in the desert plains receiving his spe- 
cial preparation, while during the 
same forty years Aaron has lived in 
the atmosphere of the highest civil- 
ization. Aaron becomes God's spokes- 
man to the people. It is Aaron's rod 
that buds. A. is Jehovah's high 
priest. It Is his sons that come to 
honor and wear the splendid vest- 
ments of the tabernacle. 

10. Moses was to be the mediator, 
while Aaroj was to be the fnterpri ter 
of God's word, as he received it from 
Moses. Yet it Is interesting to note 
that M. grows in faith and loses his 
traces of rustic, desert life, he grows 
more and more Into prominence and 
Aaron gradually recedes. 

11. Moses is now forewarned, lest 
he should become despondent, what 
shall be the attitude of Pharaoh. The 
expression here used means God per- 
mits, rather than causes, the hardness 
of P.'s heart, as a judgment proceed- 
ing directly from God. as a conse- 
quential punishment for the sins al- 
ready committed by Pharaoh. 

12. In God's covenant Israel was 
adopted as the first-born of the na- 
tion, and adopted as the child of Je- 
hovah. Thus Pharaoh who styled 
himself "son of Ea" the sun-god. was 
commanded to release Israel, the son 
of Jehovah: so in every instance the 
blow is struck at Esrypt's god. 

The conflict is religious, not polit- 
ical; the war is waged from heaTen. 



13. 



That Is. Israel. 



thou goest to return into E'gypt, see that thou 
do all those wonders before Pha'raoh, which 
I have put in thine hand: but I will "harden 
•'his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 

22 And thou shalt say unto Pha'raoh, Thus 
saith the Lord, Is'ra-el "^s my son, '-'even my 
'firstborn : 

23 And I say unto thee, Let 1I my son go, 
that he may serve me: ana" if thou refuse to 
let him go, behold, I will slay ""thy son, even 
thy firstborn. 

24 r And it came to pass by the way in the 
inn, that the "Lord met him, and "sought to 
kill him. 

25 Then Zip-po'rah took a °sharp stone, and 
cut off the ^foreskin of her son, and cast it at 
his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband 
art thou to me. 

26 So he let him go: then she said, A 
bloody husband thou art, because of the cir- 
cumcision. 

27 f And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into 
the wilderness to meet Closes. And he went, 
and met him in the mount of God, and kissed 
him. 

28 And 'MS'ses told "Aar'on all the words of 
the Lord who had sent him, and all the Psigns 
which he had commanded him. 

29 *"And Closes and Aar'on went and gath- 
ered together all the elders of the children of 
Is'ra-el : 

30 And ; 'Aar'on spake all the words which 
the Lord had spoken unto : Mo'ses, and did the 
signs in the sight of the people. 

31 And the people believed: and when they 
heard that the Lord had ^visited the children 
of Is'ra-el, and that he had looked upon their 
affliction, then they r bowed their heads and 
worshipped. 



14. Moses was uncircumcised and 
circumcisioj was the seal of the cov- 
enant. For neglecting this seal, 
death was the penalty. As Moses ad- 
vanced toward Egypt, Jehovah barred 
his way and would not allow him to 
go forward until he consecrated him- 
self to the God of Israel. 

15. The sign of the covenant. 

16. The eldest son of the Levite 
Amram and Jochebed. He was the 
brother of Moses and Miriam, being 
three years older than Moses. He 
was born the year before Pharaoh's 
edict for destroying the Hebrew male 



infants. Aaron married Elisheba for 
Elizabeth), of the tribe of Judah. 
Of this marriage he had four sons. 
Nadab and Abihu. Eleazar and Ith- 
amar. The first two were destroy- 
ed by fire from heaven. From the 
other two the race of the chief priests 
were continued in Israel. Aaron, be- 
ing more eloquent than his brother 
Moses was directed by Jehovah to 
fissist the great law-giver. The two 
met at Mt. Horeb whither they had 
both been sent by divine direction 
(Ex. 4:27). They immediately began 
their journey toward Egypt and pre- 
sented themselves before Pharaoh, 
and exhibited the credentials of their 



divine commission by working 
miracles in his presence. Pharaoh, 
however, drove them from his pres- 
ence and increased the burdens of 
their people. While on Mount Sinai 
with Aaron, his sons and the seventy 
elders near by Moses received a di- 
vine command regarding the Hebrew 
ecclesiastical establishment and the 
vestment of Aaron and his sons with 
the priestly offices, the functions of 
which they were to discharge before 
Jehovah forever. Thus the name of 
Aaron occurs as the first anointed 
priest. During the forty days that 
Moses continued in the Mount, when 
in communion with Jehovah. Aaron 
weakly allowed himself, urged by the 



people, t" make the golden calf. 
When confronted with 1 
at first endeavored t-» excuse himself, 
tut afterward became penitent, hum- 
bled himself and was pardoned. Be- 
cause of his sins and mistrust. Aaron 
was not allowed to enter the pn m- 
is.-d land, and when the host arrived 
at Mt. Hor the divine mandate came 
Aaron, accompanied by his 
brother Moses, and his son Eleazar. 
should ascend to the top of the moun- 
tain in the view of aU the people and 
that he should there transfer his pon- 
tifical robe to his son. and then die. 
(Xum. 20:23-29.) He was 123 years 
old. His son and brother buried him 
in a cavern of the mountain. 



f. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what 
ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all 
your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. (Lu. 21:14, 15.) 
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall 
speak; for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 
(Mat. 10:19.) And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the 
spirit by which he spake. (Acts 6:10.) 

g. And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that 
which the Lord hath put in my mouth? (Xum. 23:12.) I will raise 
them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will 
put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I 
shall command him. (Dt. 1S:1S.) But as for thee, stand thou here by 
me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, 
and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them 
In the land which I give them to possess it. (Dt. 5:31.) 

h. Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God 
shall be with thee. Be thou for the people to God- ward, that thou mayest 
bring the causes unto God. (Ex. 18:19.) And Moses brought their cause 
before the Lord. (Xum. 27:3.) 

i. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, 
fight with Amelek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with" 
the rod of God in my hand. (Ex. 17:9.) Take the rod, and gather thou 
the assembly together, thou, and Aaron, thy brother, and speak ye unto 
the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou 
shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the 
congregation and their beasts drink. And Moses took the rod from 
before the Lord, as he commanded him. (Xum. 20:8, 9.) 

j. For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should 
come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and 
that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as the 
Lord commanded Moses. (Josh. H:20.) But Sihon king of Heshbon 
would not let us pass by him; for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, 
and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hands, 
as appeareth this day. (Dt, 2:30.) Wherefore the king hearkened not 



unto the people; for the cause was from the Lord, that he might per- 
form his saying, which the Lord spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto 
Jeroboam the son of Xebat. (I Ks. 12:15.) 

k. When Israel was a child, then I loved him. and called my son out 
of Egypt. (Hos. 11:1.) Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the 
adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law. 
and the service of God, and the promises. (Rom. 9:4.) Ye are the chil- 
dren of the Lord your God. Te shall not cut yourselves, nor make any 
baldness between your eyes for the dead. (Dt. 14:1.) 

1. For I am a father to Israel and Ephraim is my firstborn. (Jer. 
31:9.) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we 
should be a kind of firstfruit of his creatures. (Ja. 1:18.) 

m. And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the 
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat 
on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the 
dungeon: and all the firstborn of cattle. (Ex. 12:29.) 

n. And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of 
the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. (Xum. 2i ,- 
And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not 
circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken 
my covenant. (Gen. 17:14.) 

o. At that time the Lord said unto Joshua. Make thee sharp knives, 
and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. And Joshua 
made him sharp knives and circumcised the children of Israel at the 
hill of the foreskins. (Josh. 5:2, 3.) 

p. See vs. 2-4, 6, 7, 9. 

q. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and 
afterward shall they come out with great substance. (Gen. 15:14.) But 
as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to 
bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. (Gen. 50:20.) 

r. And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lcrd. 
(Gen. 24:26.) And David said to all the congregation. Xow bless the 
Lord your God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their 
fathers and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and the 
king. (1 Chr. 29:20.)

CHAPTER 5. 
1 Pharaoh chideth Moses and Aaron for their 
message. 5 He increaseth the Israelites' 
task. 20 They cry out upon Moses and 
Aaron. 22 Moses eomplaineth to God. 

1 And afterward a M6'ses and = Aar'on went 
in, and told 3 Pha'ra6h, Thus saith the 4 Lord 
God of is'ra-el, Let my people go, that they 
may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. 

2 And 3 Pha'raoh said, "Who a is the Lord, 
that I should obey his voice to let Is'ra-el go? 
I know not the Lord, neither will I let Is'ra-el 
go. 

3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews 
hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, 
tjiree days' journey into the desert, and sacri- 
fice unto the Lord our God; lest he fall upon 
us with pestilence, or with the sword. 

4 And the king of E'gypt said unto them, 
: Wherefore do ye, Mo'ses and Aar'on, "let the 
people from their works? £ 'get you unto your 
''burdens. 

5 And 3 Pha'raoh said, Behold, the people of 
the land now are c many, and ye make them 
rest from their burdens. 

6 And 3 Pha'raoh commanded the same day 
the taskmasters of the people, and their offi- 
cers, saying, 

7 Ye shall no more give the people straw 
to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and 
gather straw for themselves. 

8 And the 10 tale of the bricks, which they 
did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; 
ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they 
be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go 
and sacrifice to our God. 

9 Let there more work be laid upon the 
men that they may labour therein; and let 
them not "regard vain words. 

10 S And the taskmasters of the people went 
out, and their officers, and they spake to the 
people, saying, Thus saith 3 Pha'raoh, I will 
not give you straw. 

11 Go ye, get yon straw where ye can find 
it: yet not ought of your work shall be dimin- 
ished. 

12 So the people were scattered abroad 
throughout all the land of E'gypt to gather 
"stubble instead of straw. 

13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, 
Fulfil your works, your "daily tasks, as when 
there was straw. 

14 And the officers of the ^children of Is'- 
ra-el, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set 
over them, were beaten, and demanded, Where- 
fore have ye not fulfilled your task in making 
brick both yesterday and to day, as hereto- 
fore?

Struggle, coimneueiug with the inter- 
cessions (ch. 5) and closing with the 
Judgment (ch. 13). The era of prep- 
aration ends and the first act cf lis

declare their mission to Pharaoh:

4. Jehovah, which is the proper 
name of God. and*not the compound 
word "Lord God." 

5. To this time the name of Je- 
hovah had not been much used in 
Egypt, and it is probable that Pha- 
raoh had never heard it. 

6. When conferring with strang- 
ers, the Israelites referred to them- 
selves as Hebrews: hence Jehovah, 
whom they styled God of Israel. Pha- 
raoh would style God of Hebrews. 
Therefore this expression is used by

was not made known to them. From 
the time of the call of Abraham. God 
had been unfolding his character, as 
by degrees the patriarchs could be- 
come acquainted with him. Man is 
not instructed by teaching him names, 
but by unfolding to him the import 
of names; and this was what Jehovah 
had been doing with Israel through 
such appellations as El. Elyon, El 
Shaddi. But time is now ripe for

ra-el came and cried unto 3 Pha'raoh, saying, 
Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy ser- 
vants? 

16 There is no straw given unto thy ser- 
vants, and they say to_ us, Make brick: and., 
behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault 
is in thine owti people. 

17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: 
therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to 
the Lord. 

18 Go therefore now, and work; for there 
shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye de- 
liver the "tale of bricks. 

19 And the officers of the children of Is'ra-el 
did see that they "were in evil case, after it 
was said, Ye shall not minish ought from 
your bricks of your daily task. 

20 TAnd they met 'Mo'ses and : Aar'on, who 
stood in the way, as they came forth from 
3 Pha'ra5h : 

21 And they said unto them, The Lord look 
upon you, and judge; because ye have made our 
savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pha'raSh, 
and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword 
in their hand to slay us. 

22 And 'Moses ^returned unto the Lord, and 
said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil en- 
treated this people? why is it that thou hast 
sent me? 

23 For since I came to 3 Pha'raoh to speak 
in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; 
neither hast thou ''delivered thy people at all. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 God reneiveth his promise by his name JE- 
HOVAH. 14 The genealogy of Reuben, 
15 of Simeon, 16 of Levi. 

1 Then the Lord said unto 'Mo'se?, Now 
shalt thou see what I will do to 2 Pha'ra6h: 
for with a strong hand shall he let them go, 
and with a strong hand shall he drive them 
out of his land. 

2 And God spake unto a Mo'§es, and said un- 
to him, I 3 am the Lord. 

3 And I appeared unto 4 A'bra-ham, unto 
5 l'saac, and unto "Ja'cob, by the name of 'God

the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they 
were strangers. 

5 And I have also heard the d groaning of 
the children of Is'ra-el, whom the E-gyp'tians 
keep in bondage; and I have remembered my 
covenant.

livered their country out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliver 
Jerusalem out of mine hand? (II Ks. 18:35.) What is the Almighty, that

servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou

soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his

of is'ra-el : but "they hearkened not unto

E'gypt, that he let the children of Is'ra-el go 
out of his land.

the children of Is'ra-el, and unto Pha'raoh 
king of E'gypt, to bring the children of is'ra-el 
out of the land of E'gypt.

Events were to burn into the nationul 
consciousness of Israel and into the 
memory of the world tin- great truths 
revealed in the Memorial Name; and 
the faith of Israel, the sin ol Pha 
raoh, and the might anil splendor of 
Egyptian heathenism were tin- divine- 
ly chosen instruments to accomplish 
tliis work. 

The rich Nile lands teemed with 
gods, and was the mother country of 
the idolatries that, centuries after- 
wards, covered the Mediterranean 
ishinds and peninsulas, and tilled 

classic literature with such manifold 

tonus of beauty. The gods of Gr re 

wire born in Egypt, and the Sibyls 
of Delphos and Cumeea descended 
from tlie sorcerers who contended 
with Moses. lien- the inimenso ram- 
headed Anitnnn ami Hawk-headed Ra. 
the placid monumental Osiris, the co- 
lossal Rameses, sitting in granite. 
"with his vast hands resting up. .11 
his elephantine knees." with their 
brother gods of the age of Pharaohs 
have looked down upon the rising 
and falling Nile through all the cen- 
turies of European civilization. It 
was here in the midst of the center 
of idolatry the struggle began. It 
should be remembered that the weap- 
ons and the tactics of the wnrfare of 
this struggle were not such as to in- 
flame the pride of the people of Is- 
rael or to awaken in after genera- 
tions the thirst for military glory, 
but such as to turn the tides of their 
faith and hope wholly away from 
themselves to their God. Heme the 
Hebrew national anthems glory in 
Jehovah rather than Israel. Not the 
baptism of a war of national inde- 
pendence, but that of the Red Soo 
redemption was their great national 
remembrance. Enthusiasm for Je- 
hovah thus became the national 
passion. And how appropriate was 
this in the training of a nation which 
was to teaeli the world true religion. 



23 And Aar'on took him 'E-lish'e-ba, daugh-

26 These are that "Aar'on and 'Mo'ses, to 
whom the Lord said, Bringout the children of

29 That the Lord spake unto Mo'§es, saying,

of E'gypt all that I say unto thee.

on thy brother shall be thy prophet. 

2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: 
and 'Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pha'-

that B I may lay my hand upon E'gypt, and 
bring forth mine armies, and my people the

upon E'gypt, and bring out the children of

commanded them, so did they.

Aar'on fourscore and 'three years old, when 
they spake unto 'Pha'raoh. 

8 If "And the Lord spake unto 'Mo'se? and 
unto 'Aar'on, saying, 



f. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast re- 
deemed; thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habita- 
tion. (Ex. 15:13.) Because the Lord loved you, and because he would 
keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord 
brought you out with a mighty hand aud redeemed you out of the house 
of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. (Dt. 7:8.) Now 
these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy 
great power, and by thy strong hand. (Neh. 1:10.) Even as the Son of 
man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his 
life a ransom for many. (Math. 20:2S.) For ye are bought with a 
price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are 
God's. (I Cor. 0:20.) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might de- 
liver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and 
our Father. (Gal. 1:4.) 

g. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God; the Lord 
thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all 
people that are upon the face of the earth. (Dt. 7:6.) For thou hast 
confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for 
ever; and thou. Lord, art become their God. (II Sam. 7:24.) Now, there- 
fore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, aud keep my covenant, then ye 
shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people; for all the earth 
is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priest- 
hood, an holy nation, a peculiar people: that ye should show forth the 
praises' of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous 
light. (I Pet. 2:9.) 

h. That he may establish thee today for a people unto himself, and 
that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he 
bath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. (Dt. 
29:13.) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his 
God, and he shall be my son. (Rev. 21:7.) And I will establish my 



covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee and their genera- 
tions for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed 
after thee (7). And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, 
the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an 
everlasting possession; and I will be their God. (Gen. 17:7, 8.) 

i. And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife 
a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son; and 
when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three 
months. (Ex. 2:1, 2.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, 
even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him in- 
stead of God. (Ex. 4:16.) See, I have this day set thee over the nations 
and over the kingdoms, to root out. and to pull down, and to destroy, 
and to throw down, and to build, and to plant. (Jer. 1:10.) Hearken 
now unto my voice. I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: 
Be thou for the people to God-ward, that they mayest bring the causes 
unto God. (Ex. 18:19.) 

b. And the Lord said unto Moses. Pharaoh shall not hearken unto 
you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. (Ex. 
11:9.) And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have 
hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants that I might show 
these my signs before him. (Ex. 10:1.) 

c. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have 
gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horse- 
men. (Ex. 14:1S.) 

d. And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my

11 Then °Pha'raoh also called the "wise men 
and the "sorcerers: <mow the magicians of

their enchantments. 

12 For they cast down every man his rod, 
and they became "serpents: but Aa'ron's "rod 
swallowed up their rods. 

13 And he "hardened Pha'raoh's heart, that 
he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had 
said. 

14 If And the Lord said unto 'Mo'se;?, Pha'- 
raoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the 
people go.

lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt

shalt thou take in thine hand.

God of the He'brews. hath sent me unto thee, 
saying, Let my people go, 'that they may 
serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hith- 
erto thou wouldest not hear. 

17 Thus saith the Lord, In this thou •'shalt 
know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite 
with the rod that is in mine hand upon the 
waters which are in the river, and they shall 
be turned to blood.

thine hand upon the waters of E'gypt, upon 
their streams, upon their rivers, and upon 
their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, 
that they may become blood; and that there 
may be blood throughout all the land of 
E'gypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels 
of stone.

and smote the waters that were in the river, 
in the sight of 3 Pha'raoh, and in the sight of

23 And Pha'raSh turned and went into his 
house, neither did he "set his heart to this 
also. 

24 And all the E-gyp'tian§ digged round

1 And the Lord spake unto a M5'§e§, Go unto

Lord, Let my people "go, that they may serve 
me. 

2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, 
I will smite all thy borders with fc frogs: 

3 And the river shall bring forth frogs 
abundantly, which shall go up and come into 
thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and 
upon thy bed, and into the house of thy serv- 
ants, and upon thy people, and into thine 
ovens, and into thy kneading troughs : 

4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, 
and upon thy people, and upon all thy serv-

5 1f And the Lord spake unto Mo'§e§, Say 
unto 2 Aar'on, f Stretch forth thine hand with 
thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and 
over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up 
upon the land of E'gypt. 

6 And 2 Aar'on stretched out his hand over 
the waters of E'gypt; andthe frogs 6 came up, 
and covered the land of E'gypt. 

7 And the ^magicians did so with their en- 
chantments, and brought up frogs upon the 
land of E'gypt. 

8 1f Then Pha'raoh called for Mo'§e§ and 
Aar'on, and said, Tntreat °the Lord, that he 
may take away the frogs from me, and from 
my people; and I will let the people go, that 
they may do sacrifice unto the Lord. 

9 And Mo'§e§ said unto Pha'raoh, Glory 
over me: 4 when shall I intreat for thee, and 
for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy

may remain in the river only?

Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest 
know that there is none like unto the Lord 
our God. 



this day; I can no more go out and come in; also the Lord hath said 
unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. (Dt. 31:2.) And when he 
was full forty years old it came into his heart to visit his brethren and 
the children of Israel (23). And when forty years were expired, there 
appeared to him in the wilderness of Mt. Sina an angel of the Lord 
in a flame of fire in a bush. (Acts 7:23, 30.) 

f. Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth. 
or in the height above. (Is. 7:11.) Then answered the Jews and said 
unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these 
things? (Jno. 2:18.) 

g. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also 
resist the truth; men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 
(II Tim. 3:8.) 

h. See ch. 8, vs. 7, 18. 

i. And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a 
token unto thee, that I have sent thee. When thou hast brought forth 
the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. (Ex. 
3:12.) 

j. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious re- 
buke; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my 
.vengeance upon them. (Ez. 25:17.) Thus shall they know that I the 
Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, 
are my people, saith the Lord God. (Ez. 34:30.) The Lord is known by 
the judgment which he executeth; the wicked is snared in the work of 
his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 9:16.) Lord, when thy hand is 
lifted up, they will not see; but they shall see, and be ashamed for their 
envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. 
(Is. 26:11.) 

k. See v. 24. 

1. And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward 
heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and 
upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of 



Egypt. (Ex. 9:22.) And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, 
every stone about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God be- 
cause of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding 
great. (Rev. 16:21.) The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the 
Highest gave his voice; hailstones and coals of fire. (Ps. 18:13.) He 
destroyed their vines with hail; and their sycamore trees with frost. 
(Ps. 78:17.) He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. 
(Ps. 105:32.) 

m. And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that 
they could not drink. (Ps. 78:44.) 

n. He, that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall sud- 
denly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Prov. 29:1.)

of their kings. (Ps. 105:30.)

d. See ch. 7, v. 11. 

e. Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and 
intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death 
only. (Ex. 10:17.) Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We 
have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; 
pray unto the Lord that he take away the serpents from us, and Moses 
prayed for the people. (Num. 21:7.) 

f. There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon 
the heaven is thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. (Dt. 33:26.) O 
Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, ac- 
cording to all that we have heard with our ears. (I Chr. 17:20.) Among 
the gods there is none like unto thee. O Lord; neither are there any works 
like unto thy works. (Ps. 86:8.) Remember the former things of old: 
for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none 
like me. (Is. 46:9.)

11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and 
from thy houses, and from thy servants, and 
from thy people; they shall remain in the river 
only. 

12 And Mo'§es and Aar'on went out from 
Pha'raoh; and Mo'ses. cried ^unto the Lord 
because of the frogs which he had brought 
against Pha'raoh. 

13 And the Lord did according to the word 
of Mo'ses; and the frogs died out of the 
houses, out of the villages, and out of the 
fields. 

14 And they gathered them together upon 
'heaps: and the land stank. 

15 But when Pha'raoh saw that there was 
''respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened 
not unto them; as the Lord had said. 

16 11 And the Lord said unto 'Mo'ses, Say 
unto 2 Aar'on, Stretch out thy rod, and smite 
the dust of the land, that it may become lice 
throughout all the land of E'gypt. 

17 And they did so; for Aar'on stretched out 
his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of 
the earth, and s it became lice in man, and in 
beast; all the dust of the land became lice 
threughout all the land of E'gypt. 

18 And the magicians did so with their en- 
chantments to bring forth lice, but they 'could 
not: so there were lice upon "man, and upon 
beast. 

19 Then the magicians said unto Pha'raoh, 
This is the '"finger ^of God: and Pha'raoh's 
heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto 
them; as the Lord had said. 

20 If And the Lord said unto 'Mo'se?, Rise 
up early in the morning, and stand before 
Pha'raoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; 
and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let 
my people go, that they may serve me. 

21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, 
behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, 
and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, 
and into thy houses: and the houses of the 
E-gyp'tians shall be full of. swarms of "flies, 
and also the ground whereon they are. 

22 And I will sever in that day the land of 
12 Go'shen, in which my people dwell, that no 
swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou 
mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst 
of the earth. 

23 And I will put a "division between my 
people and thy people: to morrow shall this 
sign be. 

24 And the Lord did so; and there came a 
grievous swarm of flies into the house of 
Pha'raoh, and into his servants' houses, and 



i. Literally vast heaps. 



S. The very tlnst became lice. 
While this miracle <li<l not strike such 
a direct blow :it Egyptian idolatry .->* 
did some other miracles, indirectly it 
was more effective, as it rendered un- 
clean the sacred animals and the 
' themselves, so that :ill wor- 
ship in the temple was cut off. 



0. The priests were required to he 
scrupulously clean; but now th'dr 
garments, robes, and gods were cov- 
ered with the loathsome lire. Thus 
the words of Moses smote every god 
and every temple In Egypt. 



10. That Is, an affliction from 
Tin i r own gods preventing them from 
performing the miracle. 



11. The dog-fly. an lnseet which 
In Egypt gives great annoyance to 
man and beast. 



12. While the putrid Nile had af- 
flicted the Egyptians and Israelites 
alike, n n>l tto 1 frogs and lice had to 
a certain extent been a torment to 
both, from now on the Israelites were 
to be sacredly exempt from the 
plagues which would be another sign 
to r-haraoh. 



IS. Set a sign of redemption or 
deliverance. 



14. The ox was an abomination to 
Jehovah because of the worship of the 
Egyptians. 



into all the land of E'gypt: the land was cor- 
rupted by reason of the swarm of flies. 

25 T And Pha'raoh called for 'Mo'se§ and 
for 2 Aar'on, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your 
God in the land. 

26 And 'Mo'ses said, It is not meet so to do; 
for we shall sacrifice the "abomination of the 
E-gyp'tians to the Lord our God: lo, shall we 
sacrifice the abomination of the E-gyp'tians 
before their eyes, and will they not stone us? 

27 We will go three days' journey into the 
wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God, 
A as he shall command us. 

28 And Pha'raoh said, I will let you go, that 
ye may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the 
wilderness; only ye shall not go very far 
away: intreat 'for me. 

29 And 'Mo'ses said, Behold, I go out from 
thee, and I will intreat the Lord that the 
swarms of flies may depart from Pha'raoh, 
from his servants, and from his people, to 
morrow: but let not Pha'raoh deal deceitfully 
any more in not letting the people go to sacri- 
fice to the Lord. 

30 And 'Mo'ses went out from Pha'raoh, 
and intreated the Lord. 

31 And the Lord did according to the word 
of Mo'se§; and he removed the swarms of 
flies from Pha'raoh, from his servants, and 
from his people; there remained not one. 

32 And Pha'raoh "hardened his heart at 
this time also, neither would he let the peo- 
ple go. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 The murrain of beasts. 8 The plague of 
boils and Mains. 13 His message about the 
hail. 22 The plague of hail. 27 Pharaoh 
sueth to Moses, 35 but yet is hardened. 

1 Then the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Go in 
unto Pha'raoh, and tell him, Thus saith the 
Lord God of the He'brews, Let my people go, 
that they may serve me. 

2 For if thou "refuse to let them go, and 
wilt hold them still, 

3 Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy 
cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, 
upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the 
oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a 
very grievous murrain. 

4 And the Lord shall *sever between the 
cattle of is'ra-el and the cattle of E'gypt: and 
there shall nothing die of all that is the chil- 
dren's of Is'ra-el. 

5 And the Lord appointed a set time, say- 
ing, To morrow the Lord shall do this thing 
in the land. 



g. And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord. (Ex. 
10:18.) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, 
that ye may be healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous 
man availeth much (16). Elias was a man subject to like passions as 
we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it rained 
not on the earth by the space of three years and 6 months (17). And 
he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth 
her fruit. (Js. 5:16-13.) So Abraham prayed unto God; and God healed 
Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservant; and they bare children. 
(Gen. 20:17.) And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed 
unto the Lord, the fire was quenched. (Num. 11:2.) And the king 
answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the 
Lord thy God, and pray for me that my hand may be restored me 
again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king's hand 
was restored him again, and became as it was before. (I Ks. 13:6.) 

h. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, 
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 
(Ecc. 8:11.) A wicked man hardeneth his face; but as for the upright, 
he directeth his way. (Prov. 21:29.) 

i. And he said untc them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from 
heaven. (Lu. 10:18.) Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, 
so do these also resist the truth; men of corrupt minds, reprobate con- 
cerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further; for their folly 
shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. (II Tim. 3:S, 9.) 
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; 
for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. (Ex. 
9:11.) 

j. And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, 
send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering; 
then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is 
not removed from you (3). And see, if it goeth up by the way of his 
own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil; but if 
not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was 



a chance that happened to us. (I Sam. 6:3. 9.) I will teach you by the 
hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 
(Job. 27:11.) But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt 
the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Lu. 11:20.) 

k. And he said, Certainly I will be with thee: and this shall be 
a token unto thee that I have sent thee. When thou hast brought forth 
the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. (Ex. 
3:12.) 

1. And the king answered and said unto the man of God. Intreat 
now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may 
be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and 
the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. 
(I Ks. 13:6.) Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord 
for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. 
(Acts 8:24.) Therefore the people came to Mcses, and said, We have 
sinned: for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray 
unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses 
prayed for the people. (Num. 21:7.) 

m. And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into 
Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I 
have put in thy hand; but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let 
the people go. (Ex. 4:21.) Happy is the man that feareth alway: but 
he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. (Prov. 28:14.) For 
the scripture saith unto Pharaoh. Even for this same purpose have 
I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my 
name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he 
mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 
(Rom. 9:17, 18.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto 
thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous 
judgment of God. (Rom. 2:5.)

6 And the Lord did that thing on the mor- 
row, and 'all the r cattle of E'gypt died: but of 
the cattle of the children of is'ra-el died not 
one. 

7 And Pha'raoh sent, and, behold, there was 
not one of the cattle of the Is'ra-el-ites dead. 
And the heart of Pha'raoh was hardened, and 
he did not let the people go. 

8 If And the Lord said unto Mo'§e§ and unto 
Aar'on, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the 
furnace, and let Mo'§e§ sprinkle it toward the 
heaven in the sight of Pha'raoh. 

9 And it shall become small dust in all the 
land of E'gypt, and shall be a boil breaking 
forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, 
throughout all the land of E'gypt. 

10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and 
stood before Pha'raoh; and Mo'§e§ sprinkled 
it up toward heaven; and it became d a boil 
breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon 
beast. 

11 And the Tnagicians e could not stand be- 
fore Mo'§e§ because of the boils; for the boil 
was upon the magicians, and upon all the 
E-gyp'tian§. 

12 And the Lord hardened the heart of 
Pha'raoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as 
the Lord had spoken unto Mo'§e|. 

13 If And the Lord said unto Mo'§e§, Rise up 
early in the morning, and stand before Pha'- 
raoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord 
God of the He'brew§, Let my people go, that 
they may serve me. 

14 For I will at this time send all my 
plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy serv- 
ants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest 
know that there is none like 'me in all the 
earth. 

15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that 
I may smite thee and thy people with pesti- 
lence; and thou shalt be cut off from the 
earth. 

16 And in very deed for this cause have I 
raised thee up, for to 3 shew in thee my power; 
and that my name may be declared throughout 
all the earth. 

17 As yet 4 exaltest thou thyself against my 
people, that thou wilt not let them go? 

18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will 
cause it to rain a very grievous #hail, such as 
hath not been in E'gypt since the foundation 
thereof even until now.

tie, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon 
every man and beast which shall be found in 
the field, and shall not be brought home, the 
hail shall come down upon them, and they shall 
die. 

20 He that feared the word of the Lord 
among the servants of Pha'raoh made his serv- 
ants and his cattle flee into the houses: 

21 And he that regarded not the word of the 
Lord left his servants and his cattle in the 
field. 

22 1f And the Lord said unto Mo'§e§, Stretch 
forth thine hand toward heave^ that there 
may be hail #in all the land of E'gypt, upon 
man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of 
the field, throughout the land of E'gypt. 

23 And Mo'§e§ stretched forth his rod to- 
ward heaven: and the Lord sent ''thunder and 
hail, and the "fire ran along upon the ground; 
and the Lord rained hail upon the land of 
E'gypt. 

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with 
the hail, very 7 grievous, such as there Was 
none like it in all the land of E'gypt since it 
became a nation. 

25 And the hail ^smote throughout all the 
land of E'gypt all that was in the field, both 
man and beast; and the hail smote every herb 
of the field, and brake every tree of the field. 

26 Only in the land of Go'shen, where Hhe 
children of Is'ra-el were, was there no hail. 

27 IT And Pha'raoh sent, and called for Mo'- 
§e§ and Aar'on, and said unto them, I have 
sinned this time: the -'Lord is righteous, and I 
and my 5 people are wicked. 

28 Intreat the 7i Lord (for it is enough) that 
there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; 
and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no 
longer. 

29 And Mo'§es_ said unto him, As soon as I 
am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad 
my hands unto the Lord; and the thunder shall 
cease, neither shall there be any more hail; 
that thou mayest know how that the earth 'is 
the Lord's. 

30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know 
that m ye will not yet fear "the Lord God. 

31 And the flax and the "barley was smitten : 
for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was 
"boiled. 

32 But the wheat and the rye were not smit- 
ten: for they were not grown up. 

33 And M5'§e§ went out of the city from 



c. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from 
death, but gave their life over to the pestilence. (Ps. 78:50.) 

d. The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with 
the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst 
not be healed. (Dt. 28:27.) But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon 
them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, 
even Ashdod and the coasts thereof. (I Sam. 5:6.) And he smote his 
enemies in the hinder parts; he put them to a perpetual reproach. (Ps. 
78:66.) 

e. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from 
heaven. (Lu. 10:18.) Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, 
so do these also resist the truth; men of corrupt minds, reprobate con- 
cerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further; for their folly 
shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. (II Tim. 3:8, 9.) 
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, 
but they could not; so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 
(Ex. 8:18.) 

f. O Lord God, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, 
and thy mighty hand; for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that 
can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? (Dt. 3:24.) 
O Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, 
according to all that we have heard with our ears. (II Chr. 17:20.) 
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there 
any works like unto thy works. (Ps. 86:8.) Remember the former 
things of old; for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and 
there is none like me. (Is. 46:9.) 

g. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone 
about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God because of the 
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Rev. 
16:21.) He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot 
thunderbolts. (Ps. 78:48.) He gave them hail for rain, and flaming 
fire in their land. (Ps. 105:32.) And it came to pass, as they fled from 
before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the Lord 
cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they 
died; they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the 
children of Israel slew with the sword. (Josh. 10:11.) 

h. The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his 



voice; hailstones and coals of fire. (Ps. 18:13.) He destroyed their 
vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. (Ps. 78:47.) 

i. But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move 
his tongue, against man or beast; that ye may know how that the 
Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. (Ex. 11:7.) 
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwell- 
ings, and in quiet resting places. When it shall hail, coming down on 
the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. (Is. 32:18, 19.) 

3. Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled them- 
selves; and they said, The Lord is righteous. (II Chr. 12:6.) The Lord 
is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. (Ps. 129:4.) 
The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. (Ps. 
145:17.) The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his com- 
mandment; hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow; my 
virgins and my young men are gon^ into captivity. (Lam. 1:18.) 
Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon 
us; for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth; 
for we obeyed not his voice. (Dan. 9:14.) 

k. And the king answered and said unto the man 'of God, Intreat 
now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may 
be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and 
the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. 
(I Ks. 13:6.) Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for 
me, that, none of these things which ye have spoken come unto me. 
(Acts 8:24.) Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have 
sinned; for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray 
unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses 
prayed for the people. (Num. 21:7.) 

1. The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and 
they that dwell therein. (Ps. 24:1.) For the earth is the Lord's, and 
the fullness thereof. (I Cor. 10:26.) 

m. Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn 
righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will 
not behold the majesty of the Lord. (Is. 26:10.) 

n. But the Lord your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you 
out of the hand of all your enemies. (II Ks. 17:39.) Let all the earth 
fear the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of 
him. (Ps. 33:8.) The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble; he sittetn, 
between the cherubim; let the earth bo moved. (Ps. 99:1.)

inclineth to let the Israelites go. 12 The 
plague of the locusts. 16 Pharaoh sueth to 
Moses. 21 The plague of darkness. 24 
Pharaoh sueth to Moses, 27 but yet is hard- 
ened. 

1 And the Lord said unto 'Mo'ses, Go in 
unto Pha'raoh : for I have ^hardened his heart, 
and the heart of his servants, that I might 
shew these my signs before him: 

2 And "that thou a mayest tell in the ears of 
thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I 
have wrought in E'gypt, and my signs which 
I have done among them; that ye may know 
how that I am the Lord. 

3 And Closes and 4 Aar'on came in unto 
: Pha'raoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou 
refuse to ^humble thyself before me? let my 
people go, that they may serve me. 

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, 
behold, to morrow will I bring the 'locusts into 
thy coast: 

5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, 
that one cannot be able to see the earth : and 
they shall eat the residue of that which is 
escaped, which remaineth unto you from the 
hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth 
for you out of the field: 

6 And they f shall fill thy houses, and the 
houses of all thy servants, and the houses of 
all the E-gyp'tians, which neither thy fathers, 
nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the 
day that they were upon the earth unto this 
day. And he turned himself, and went out 
from Pha'raoh. 

7 And Pha'raoh's 'servants said unto him, 
How long shall this man be a snare unto us? 
let the men go, that they may serve the_ Lord 
their God: knowest thou 5 not yet that E'gypt 
is destroyed? 

8 And 'MS'ses and *Aar'on were brought 
again unto "Pha'raoh: and he said unto them, 
Go, serve the Lord your God: but who are 
they that shall go? 

9 And a M6'ses said, 'We d will go with our 
young and with our old, with our sons and

not only from appetite but also from 
pure love of destruction. 



7. For the first time the courtiers 
of Pharaon venture to plead with 
him. and for the first time he sends 
f..r Moses and Aaron after they have 
ted the plague and pone f^rth 
to brine it up on the land; which

and more forcibly impressing the 
Egyptians.

males, old and young, will be expect-

with our daughters, with our flocks and with 
our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast 
unto the Lord. 

10 And he said unto them, "'Let the Lord 
be so with you, as I will let you go, and your 
little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. 

11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and 
serve the Lord; for that ye did desire. And 
they were driven out from Pha'raoh's presence. 

12 r And the Lord said unto 'Mo'ses, 
Stretch out thine hand over the land of 

E'gypt for the locusts, that they may come up 
upon the land of E'gypt, and ^eat every herb 
of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 

13 And 'Moses stretched forth his rod over 
the land of E'gypt, and the Lord brought an 
east wind upon the land all that day, and all 
that night; and when it was morning, the east 
wind brought the locusts. 

14 And the ^locusts went up over all the 
land of E'gypt, and rested in all the coasts of 
E'gypt: very grievous were they; before them 
there were no such locusts as they, neither 
after them shall be such. 

15 For they covered the face of the whole 
earth, so that the land was ''darkened; and 
they did eat every herb of the land, and all the 
fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and 
there remained not any green thing in the 
trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all 
the land of E gypt. 

16 1 Then Pha'raoh "called for Mo'ses and 
Aaron in haste; and he said, I 'have sinned 
against the Lord your God, and against you. 

17 Xow therefore forgive, I pray thee, my 
sin only this once, and intreat •'the Lord your 
God, that he may take away from me this 
death only. 

18 And he went out from Pha'raoh, and in- 
treated the Lord. 

19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong 
west wind, which took away the locusts, and 
cast them into the Red sea; there remained 
not one locust in all the coasts of E'gypt. 

20 But the Lord "hardened ^'Pha'raoh's heart, 
so that he would not let the children of Is'- 
ra-el go. 

21 r And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Stretch 
out thine hand toward heaven, that there may 
be darkness over the land of E'gypt, ^even 
darkness which may be felt. 

22 And Mo'ses stretched forth his hand to- 
ward heaven; and there was a thick darkness 
in all the land of E'gypt three days: 

23 They saw not one another, neither rose 
any from his place for three days: but all the 
children of Is'ra-el had light in their dwell- 
ings. 

24 r And Pha'raoh called unto Mo'ses. and 



Chapter 10. 

a. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou 
forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from 
thine heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy 
sons' sons. (Dt. 4:9.) TVe have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers 
have told us, what work thou didst in their days in the times of old. 
(Ps. 44:1.) Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their 
children, and their children and other generations. (Joel 1:3.) 

b. Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself 
before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and 
against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and 
didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me : I have even heard thee 
also, saith the Lord. (II Chr. 34:27.) Humble yourselves in the sight 
of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (Ja. 4:10.) Humble yourselves 
therefore unto the mighty hand of God. that he may exalt you in due 
time. (I Pet. 5:6.) If my people, which are called by my name, shall 
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their 
wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their 
sin, and will heal their land. ((II Chr. 7:14.) 

c. And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall 
go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon 
thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and 
into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs (3). Else, if thou 
wilt not let my people go, behold. I will send swarms of flies upon thee, 
and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and 
the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also 
the ground whereon they are. (Ex. 8:3, 21.) 

d. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov.'3:9.) 

e. And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, 
and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their 



streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their 
pools of water, that they may become blood. (Ex. 7:19.) 

f. See vs. 4, 5. 

g. Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather 
but little in: for the locusts shall consume it. (Dt. 28:38.) He gave 
also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labor unto the locust. 
(Ps. 78:46.) He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that 
without number. (Ps. 105:34.) 

h. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of 
thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great peo- 
ple and a strong; there hath not been ever the like; neither shall be 
any more after it, even to the years of many generations. (Joel 2:2.t 

i. Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: 
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have 
rebelled against thee. (Ps. 5:10.) Let the wicked fall into their own 
nets, whilst that I with all escape. (Ps. 141:10.) But he that sinneth 
against me wrongeth his own soul; all they that hate me love death. 
(Prov. 8:36.) Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of 
them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. (Mic. 7:13.1 

j. And the king answered and said unto the man of God. Intreat 
now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me. that my hand may 
be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the 
king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. 
(I Ks. 13:6.) Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne 
chastisement, I will not offend any more. (Job 34:31.) Therefore the 
people came to Moses and said. We have sinned, for we have spoken 
against the Lord, and against thee: pray unto the Lord, that he take 
away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. (Xum 
21:7.) Confess your faults- one to another, and pray one for another, 
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous 
man availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.)

said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only let your 
flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little 
ones also go with you. 

25 And M6'se§ said, Thou must give us also 
sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may 
sacrifice unto the Lord our God. 

26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there 
shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof 
must we take to serve the Lord our God; and 
we know not with what we must serve the 
Lord, until we come thither. 

27 If But the Lord hardened ^Pha'raoh's 
heart, and he would not let them go. 

28 And Pha'raoh said unto him, Get thee 
from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no 
more; for in that day thou seest my face thou 
shalt die. 

29 And Mo'ses said, Thou hast spoken well, 
I will see thy face again no 'more. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 God's message to the Israelites to borrow 
jewels of their neighbours. 4 Moses threat- 
eneth Pharoah with the death of the first- 
born. 

1 And the Lord *said unto Mo'se§, Yet will I 
bring one plague more upon Pha'raoh, and 
upon E'gypt; afterwards he will let you go 
hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely 
thrust you out hence altogether. 

2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and 
let every man borrow of his neighbour, and 
every woman of her neighbour, "jewels of sil- 
ver, and jewels of gold. 

3 And the Lord gave the people favour in 
the sight of the E-gyp'tian§. Moreover the 
man Mo'se§ was very great in the land of 
E'gypt, in the sight of Pha'raoh'? servants, and 
in the sight of the people. 

4 And Mo'se§ said, Thus saith the Lord, 
About midnight will I go out into the midst of 
E'gypt: 

5 And 6 all the firstborn in the land of E'gypt 
shall die, from the firstborn of Pha'raoh that 
sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn 
of the maidservant that is behind the mill; 
and all the firstborn of beasts. 

6 And there shallbe a great cry through- 
out all the land of E'gypt, such as there was 
none like it, nor shall be like it any more. 

7 But against any of the children of Is'ra-el 
shall not a dog move his tongue, against man 
or beast : that ye may know how that the Lord 
doth put a ^difference between the E-gyp'tian§ 
and Is'ra-el. 

8 And all these thy servants shall come 
down unto me, and bow down themselves unto 
me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people 
that follow thee: and after that I will go out.

NOTE. — The long travail has come 
to an end and Israel's birth-hour is 
approaching. The institution of the 
Passover, which was the national 
birthday festival, is carefully related. 
First, the command given, verses 
1-20; seeoud, the fulfillment, verses 
21-2S; then follows the last and most 
awful of the judgment strokes, and 
the exodus itself, from which the 
book of Ex. takes its name. The 
passover. which is the oldest of the 
Jewish festivals, has outlasted all 
the rest, and is the only one which 
has passed from the old to the new 
covenant. In the passover we are 
carried back to the time when the 
temple had not yet been reared, nor 
the tabernacle set up, nor the priest- 
hood consecrated, when each house 
was made a temple, each doorway an 
altar, and each father a priest. True 
national worship must ever begin at 
home. (W.)

anger.

shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders 
may be multiplied in the land of E'gypt. 

10 And Mo'ses and Aar'on did all these won- 
ders before Pha'raoh: and the Lord hardened 
rf Pha'ra6h's heart, so that he would not let the 
children of Is'ra-el go out of his land.

1 And the Lord spake unto 1 Mo'§e§ and 
'Aar'on in the land of E'gypt, saying, 

2 This month shall be unto you the begin- 
ning of months: it shall be the first month of 
the year to you. 

3 If Speak ye unto all the congregation of 
Is'ra-el, saying, In the tenth day of this month 
they shall take to them every man a lamb, ac- 
cording to the house of their fathers, a lamb 
for an house: 

4 And if the household be too little for the 
lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his 
house take it according to the number of the 
souls; every man according to his eating shall 
make your count for the lamb. 

5 Your lamb shall be "without blemish, a 
male of the first year: ye shall take it out 
from the sheep, or from the goats: 

6 And ye shall keep it up until the ^four- 
teenth day of the same month: and the whole 
"assembly of the congregation of Is'ra-el shall 
kill it in the evening. 

7 And they shall take of the blood, and 
"strike it on the two side posts and on the up- 
per door post of the houses, wherein they 
shall eat it. 

8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, 
roast with fire, and 'unleavened c bread; and 
with %itter herbs they shall eat it. 

9 7 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with 
water, but roast with fire; his head with his 
legs, and with the s purtenance thereof. 

10 And ye shall let ^nothing of it remain 
until the morning; and that which remaineth 
of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 

11 \\ And thus shall ye eat it; with your 
loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your 
staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: 
it is the Lord's c passover.

E'gypt this night, and will smite all the first- 
born in the land of E'gypt, both man and 



k. And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against 
the Lord: this is that king Ahaz. (II Chr. 28:22.) Or despiseth thou 
the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not 
knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? (4). But 
after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself 
wrath, against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judg- 
ment of God. (Rom. 2:4, 5.) And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that 
he shall follow after them; and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and 
upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord 
And they did so (4). And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh 
king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the 
children of Israel went out with an high hand. (Ex. 14:4, 8.) 

1. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; 
for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. (Heb. 11:27.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that 
sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and 
raiment; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daugh- 
ters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians. (Ex. 3:22.) 

b. I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt; 
your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away 
your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto 
your nostrils; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. (Amos. 
4:10.) 

c. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the 
wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. 
(Mai. 3:18.) 

d. And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against 
the Lord: this is that king Ahaz. (II Chr. 28:22.) 



d. Or despisest thou the richness of his goodness and forbearance 
and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee 
to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treas- 
urest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of 
the righteous judgment of God. (Rom. 2:4, 5.) 

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; 
and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the 
Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so (4). And 
the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pur- 
sued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out 
with an high hand. (Ex. 14:4, 8.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye 
offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; 
will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? (8). But cursed be 
the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth 
unto the Lord a corrupt thing; for I am a great King, saith the Lord 
of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. (Mai. 1:8, 14.) 
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal 
Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from 
dead works to serve the living God. (Heb. 9:14.) 

b. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's 
passover. (Lev. 23:5.) 

c. Therefore let us keep the feast, hot with old leaven, neither 
with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened 
bread of sincerity and truth. (I Cor. 5:8.)

bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague 
shall 'not be upon you to destroy you, when I 
smite the land of E'gypt. 

14 And this day shall be unto you for a 
memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast sto the 
Lord throughout your generations; ye shall 
keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. 

15 Seven' days ''shall ye eat unleavened 
bread; even the first day ye shall put auay 
leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eat- 
eth leavened bread from the first day until the 
seventh day, 10 that i soul shall be cut off from 
Is'ra-el. 

16 And in the first day there shall be an 
"holy convocation, and in the seventh day 
there shall be an holy convocation to you; no 
manner of work shall be done in them, save 
that which every man must eat, that only may 
be done of you. 

17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleav- 
ened bread; for in this selfsame day have I 
brought your armies out of the land of E gypt: 
therefore shall ye observe this day in your 
generations by an ordinance for ever.

day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleav- 
ened bread, until the one and twentieth day of

found in your houses: for whosoever eateth 
that which is leavened, even that 'soul shall 
be cut off from the congregation of Is'ra-el, 
whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. 

20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your 
habitations shall ye eat c unleavened bread.

keep this service. 

26 And it shall come to pass, when your 
"children shall say unto you, What mean ye 
by this service? 

27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of 
the Lord's passover, who passed over the 
houses of the children of is'ra-el in E'gypt, 
when he smote the E-gyp'tians, and delivered 
our houses. And the people bowed the head 
ayid worshipped. 

28 And the children of isra-el went auay, 
and did as the Lord had commanded MO'ses 
and Adr'on, so did they. 

29 r And it came to pass, that at midnight 
the Lord °smote all the firstborn in the land of 
E'gypt, from the firstborn of Pha raoh that sat 
on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive 
that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn 
of cattle. 

30 And Pha'raoh rose up in the night, he. 
and all his servants, and all the E-gyp'tians; 
and there was a great Pcry in E'gypt; for 
there was not a house where there was not 
one dead. 

31 r And he called for : Mo'ses and : Aar'on 
by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth 
from among my people, both ye and the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el; and go, serve the Lord, as ye 
have said. 

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as 
ye have said, and be gone; and u bless me also. 

33 And the E-gyp'tians were ^urgent upon 
the people, that they might send them out of 
the land in haste; for they said, We be all 
dead men. 

34 And the people took their dough before 
it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being 
bound up in their clothes upon their shoul- 
ders. 

35 And the children of is'ra-el did according 
to the word of Mo'ses; and they borrowed r of 
the E-gyp tians jewels of silver, and jewels of 
gold, and raiment: 

36 And the Lord gave the people favour in 
the sight of the E-gyp'tians. so that they lent 
unto them such things as they required. And 
they spoiled the E-gyp'tians. 

37 And the children of Is'ra-el journeyed 
from Ra-me'ses to Sue'coth, about "six -hun- 
dred thousand on foot that were men, beside 
children. 

38 And a mixed multitude went up also 
with them; and flocks, and herds, even very 
much cattle, 

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the 
dough which they brought forth out of E'gypt, 



f. For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the Lord 
had smitten among them; upon their gods also the Lord executed 
judgments. (Num. 33:4.) Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse 
the ruler of thy people. (Ex. 22:2S.) God standeth in the congregation 
of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. (Ps. 82:1.) 

g. And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the pass- 
over unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this 
covenant. (II Ks. 23:21.) 

h. Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou 
eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; (for thou 
earnest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste) that thou may est remem- 
ber the day when thou earnest forth out of the land of Egypt all the 
days of thy life (3). Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and 
on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: 
thou shalt do no work therein. (Dt, 16:3, S.) Purge out therefore the 
old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For 
even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. (I Cor. 5:7.) 

i. But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbear- 
eth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from 
among his people; because he brought not the offering cf the Lord in 
his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. (Num. 9:13.) And 
the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not cir- 
cumcised, that soul shall be cut on from his people: he hath broken 
my covenant. (Gen. 17:14.) For if we sin willfuly after that we have 
received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice 
for sin. (Heb. 10:26.) 

j. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's 
passover. (Lev. 23:5.) 

k. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days 
thou shaft eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of 



the month Abib; for in the month Abib thou earnest out from Egypt. 
(Ex. 34:18.) 

1. And the children of Israel encamped in GilgaL and kept the 
passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of 
Jericho. (Josh. 5:10.) 

m. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of 
blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born should touch them. iHeb. 
11:28.) 

n. Remember the days of old, consider the years of many gen- 
erations: ask thy father, and he will show thee: thy elders, and they 
will tell thee. (Dt. 32:7.) That the generation to come might know 
them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and 
declare them to their children. iPs. 7 

o. For all the first-born of the children of Israel are mine, both 
man and beast; on the day that I smote every first-born in the land 
of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. (Num. 8:17.) Who smote the 
first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast. (P? 

p. Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall 
cry himself, but shall not be heard. (Prov. 21:13.) For he shall have 
judgment without mercy, that hath shown no mercy; and mercy re- 
joiceth against judgment, (Js. 2:13.) 

q. Egypt was slad when they departed; for the fear of them fell 
upon them. (Ps. 105 :3S.) 

r. But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her 
that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and. 
raiment; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daugh- 
ters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians. (Ex. 3 22 

s. And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go 
down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation. (Gen. 
46:3.) And Moses said. The people, among whom I am, are six hun- 
dred thousand footmen: and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that 
they may eat a whole month. (Num. 11:21.)

for it was not leavened; because they were 
'thrust out of E'gypt, and could not tarry, 
neither had they prepared for themselves any 
victual. 

40 IF Now the sojourning of the children of 
Is'ra-el, who dwelt in E'gypt, was four "hun- 
dred and thirty years. 

41 And it came to pass at the end of the 
four hundred and thirty years, even the 15 self- 
same day it came to pass, that all the_ hosts 
of the Lord went out from the land of E'gypt. 

42 It is a night to be much observed unto 
the Lord for bringing them out from the land 
of E'gypt: this is that night of the Lord to be 
observed of all the children of is'ra-el in their 
generations. 

43 And the Lord said unto Mo'se§ and 
Adr'on, This is the ordinance of the passover: 
There shall no ^stranger eat thereof: 

44 But every man's servant that is bought 
for money, when thou hast v circumcised him, 
then shall he eat thereof. 

45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall 
not eat thereof. 

46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt 
not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out 
of the house; neither shall ye break a bone 
thereof. 

47 All the congregation of Is'ra-el shall 
keep it. 

48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with 
thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, 
let all his males be ^'circumcised, and then let 
him come near and keep it; and he shall^ be as 
one that is born in the land: for no uncircum- 
cised person shall eat thereof. 

49 One w law shall be to him that is home- 
born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth 
among you. 

50 Thus did all the- children of is'ra-el; as 
the Lord commanded ^lo'ge? and 2 Aar'on, so 
did they. 

51 And it came • to pass the selfsame day, 
that the Lord did bring the children of is'ra-el 
out of the land of E'gypt by their armies. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 The firstborn are sanctified to God. 3 The 
memorial of the passover is commanded. 
17 The Israelites go out of Egypt, and carry 
Joseph's bones with them. 21 God guideth 
them by a pillar of a cloud, and a pillar of 
fire. 

1 And the Lord spake unto 1 Mo'§e§, saying, 

2 ^Sanctify unto me all the "firstborn, what- 
soever openeth the womb among the children 
of Is'ra-el, both of man and of beast; it is 
mine. 

3 H And ^lo'sjes said unto the people, Re- 
member this day, in which ye came out from 
E'gypt, out of the house of bondage; for by 



15. That is, the very day after 
the passover and death of the first- 
born. 



16. One who did not bear the cov- 
enant sign of circumcision.

partaken of the covenant.

NOTE. — The promulgation of the 
law of the firstborn and of the feast 
of unleavened bread. In verses 1 and 
2 Jehovah gives to Hoses the law of 
the firstborn, and in verses 3-16 
Moses repeats the law to the people; 
also repeating to them the law of the 
feast of unleavened bread, which had 
been given to Moses before they start- 
ed on their march. (Ch. 12:15-20.) 
In the slaying of the firstborn of 
Egypt the flower of Egypt had been 
cut down for the deliverance of Is- 
rael, and now the flower of their fam- 
ilies and possessions were to be de- 
voted to God forever.

2. To pronounce or observe as cer-

strength of hand the Lord brought you out 
from this place: there shall no leavened bread 
be eaten. 

4 This day came ve out in the month A'bib. 

5 H And it shall be when the Lord shall 
bring thee into the land of the Ca'naan-ites, 
and the Hit'tites, and the Am'or-ites, and the 
Hi'vTtes, and the Jeb'u-sites, which he sware 
unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing 
with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this 
service in this month. 

6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened 
bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast 
to the Lord. 

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten s seven 
days; and there shall no leavened bread be 
seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven 
seen with thee in all thy quarters. 

8 1[ And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, 
saying, This is done because of that which the 
Lord did unto me when I came forth out of 
E'gypt. 

9 And it shall be for a 3 sign c unto thee upon 
thine hand, and for a memorial between thine 
eyes, that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth : 
for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought 
thee out of E'gypt. 

10 Thou shalt therefore keep this 4 ordinance 
in his season from year to year. 

11 % And it shall be when the Lord shall 
bring thee into the land of the Ca'naan-ites, 
as he <*sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and 
shall give it thee, 

12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord 
all that c openeth the matrix, and every first- 
ling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; 
the males shall be the Lord's. 

13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt 
redeem xoith a lamb; and if thou wilt not re- 
deem it,' then thou shalt break his neck: and 
all the firstborn of man among thy children 
shalt thou redeem. 

14 If And it f shall be when thy son asketh 
thee in time to come, saying, What is this? 
that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of 
hand the Lord brought us out from E'gypt, 
from the house of bondage: 

15 And it came to pass, when Pha'raoh 
would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all 
the firstborn in the land of E'gypt, both the 
firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: 
therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that open- 
eth the c matrix, being males; but all the first- 
born of my children I redeem. 

16 And it shall be for a token upon thine 
hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: 
for by strength of hand the Lord brought us 
forth out of E'gypt. 

17 II And it came to pass, when Pha'raoh had 
let the people go, that God led them not 
through the way of the land of the Phi-lis'- 



t. See ch. 11:1. 

u. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of 
God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, 
cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. (Gal. 
3:17.) 

v. And he that is eight days old, shall be circumcised among you., 
every man child in your generation, he that is born in the house, or 
bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He 
that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must 
needs be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for ,an 
everlasting covenant. (Gen. 17:12, 13.) 

w. One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger 
that sojourneth with you. (Num. 15:16.) There is neither Jew nor 
Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; 
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:28.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Only the firstling of the beast, which should be the Lord's 
firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep, it is 
the Lord's. (Lev. 27:2G.) Because all the first-born are mine; for on 
the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed 
unto me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall 
they be: I am the Lord. (Num. 3:13.) (As it is written in the law of 
the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to 
the Lord.) (Lu. 2:23.) 

b. Thou shalt eat no -leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou 
eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou 



earnest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remem- 
ber the day when thou earnest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days 
of thy life (3). Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the 
seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: thou shalt 
do no work therein. (Dt. 16:3, 8.) 

c. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in 
your scul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may 
be as frontlets between your eyes. (Dt. 11:18.) For they shall be an 
ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. (Prov. 
1:9.) Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy 
walls are continually before me. (Is. 49:16.) 

d. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, say- 
ing, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt 
unto the great river, the river of Euphrates. (Gen. 15:18.) And. behold, 
the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy 
father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will 
I give it, and to thy seed. (Gen. 28:13.) 

e. All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among 
thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. (Ex. 34:19.) Every thing 
that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the Lord, 
whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine; nevertheless the first- 
born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean 
beasts shalt thou redeem. (Num. 18:15.) 

f. And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What 
mean the testimonies and the statutes, and the judgments, which the 
Lord our God hath commanded you? (Dt. 6:20.)

tines, although that was near; for God said, 
Lest peraclventure the people repent - f when 
they see war, and they return to E'gypt: 

18 But God led the people about, through 
the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and 
the children of Is'ra-el went up ^harnessed out 
of the land of Egypt. 

19 And Mo'ses took the Txmes ?i of Joseph 
with him: for he had straitly sworn the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el, saying, God will surely visit 
you; and ye shall carry up my bones away 
nence with you. 

20 ""And they took their journey from Suc'- 
coth, and encamped in E'tham, in the edge of 
the wilderness. 

21 And the Lord 7 went before them by day 
in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; 
and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them 
light ; to go by day and night : 

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud 
by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from 
before the people. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 God instructeth the Israelites in their jour- 
ney. 5 Pharaoh pursueth after them. 15 
God instructeth Moses. 19 The cloud re- 
moveth behind the camp. 21 The Israelites 
pass through the Red sea, 23 which droicn- 
eth the Egyptians. 

1 And the Lord spake unto ^I^'ses, saying. 

2 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, that 
they turn and encamp before Pi-ha-hi'roth, be- 
tween Mig dol and the. sea. over against Ba'al- 
ze'phon : before it shall ye encamp by the sea. 

3 For Pha'raoh a will say of the children of 
Is'ra-el, They are "entangled in the land, the 
wilderness hath shut them in. 

4 And I will harden ? Pha'raoh's heart, that 
he shall follow after them; and I will be hon- 
oured upon Pha'raoh, and upon all his host; 
that the E-gyp'tians may know that I am the 
Lord. And they did so. 

5 r And it was told the king of E'gypt that 
the people fled: and the heart of Pha'raoh and 
of his servants was turned against the people, 
and they said. Why "have we done this, that 
we have let is'ra-el go from serving us? 

6 And he made ready his chariot, and took 
his people with him: 

7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, 
and all the chariots of E'gypt, and captains 
over every one of them. 

S And the Lord hardened the heart of Pha'- 
raoh king of E'gypt, and he pursued after the 
children of Is'ra-el : and the children of Is'ra-el 
went out with an high 5 hand. 

9 But the E-gyp'tians pursued after them, 
all the horses and chariots of Pha'raoh, and 
his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them 
encamping by the sea, beside Pi-ha-hi'roth. 
before Ba'al-ze'phon.

therefore after 2 o'clock in the morn- 
ing when the cloud, that huug like 
a black curtain over and before the 
Egyptians, opened and Jehovah "look- 
ed upon them" through his lightning. 
To appreciate truly the awfu' ess 
this scene we must remember that 
thunder and lightning are extremely 
rare in Egypt 



10 r And when Pha'raoh drew nigh, the 
children of Is'ra-el lifted up their eyes, and, 
behold, the E-gyp'tians marched after them; 
and they were sore afraid: and the children of 
Is'ra-el cried r out unto the Lord. 

11 And they said unto Mo ses. Because there 
were no graves in E'gypt, hast thou taken us 
away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast 
thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out 
of E'gypt? 

12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee 
in E'gypt, saying. Let us alone, that we may 
serve the E-gyp'tians? For it had been better 
for us to serve the E-gyp'tians, than that we 
should die in the wilderness. 

13 i And Mo'ses said unto the people, *Fear 
ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the 
Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for 
the E-gyp'tians whom ye have seen to-day, ye 
shall see them again no more for ever. 

14 The Lord f shall fight for you, and ye 
shall hold your peace. 

15 r And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Where- 
fore criest thou unto me? speak unto the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el, that they go forward: 

16 But lift 'thou up thy rod, and stretch 
out thine hand over the sea, and divide it : and 
the children of is'ra-el shall go on dry ground 
through the midst of the sea. 

17 And I. behold, I will 'harden the hearts 
of the E-gyp'tians, and they shall follow them: 
and I will get me Tionour upon Pha raoh, and 
upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon 
his horsemen. 

IS And the E-gyp'tians shall know that I 
am the Lord, when I have gotten me Tionour 
upon Pha'raoh, upon his chariots, and upon his 
hoi semen. 

19 i And 'the angel of, God, which went be- 
fore the camp of is'ra-el, removed and went 
behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went 
from before their face, and 'stood behind them : 
And it came between the camp of the 
E-gyp'tians and the camp of is'ra-el; and it 
was a cloud and : darkness to them, but it gave 
light by night to these: so that the one came 
not near the other all the night. 

21 And 1 " - - -tretched out his hand over 
the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back 
by a strong east wind all that night, and made 
the sea dry land, and the waters were ''divided. 

22 And the children of Is'ra-el went into the 
''midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and 
the waters were a wail unto them on their 
right hand, and on their left. 

23 r And the E-gyp'tians pursued, and went 
in after them to the midst of the sea, even all 
Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horse- 
men. 

24 And it came to pass, that in the "niorn- 



g. Aid they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they 
have heard that thou Lord art among this people: that thou Lord 
art seen face to face; and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that 
thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a 
pillar of fire by night. (Num. 14:14.) And refuse to obey, neither were 
mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened 
their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their 
bondage; but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, 
slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. (Xeh. 
9:17.) 

h. And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying. God 
will surely visit you. and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. 
(Gen. 50:25.) And the bones of Joseph, which "the children of Israel 
brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Sheehem, in a parcel of ground 
wh : ch Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor, the father of Sheehem for 
an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the chil- 
dren of Joseph. (Josh. 24:32.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. Saying, God hath forsaken him; persecute and take him: for 
there is none to deliver him. (Ps. 71:11.) 

b. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for 
God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man (13>. 
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust 
and enticed (14). Then, when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth 
sin; and sin. when It is finished, bringeth forth death. (Ja. lTl3-15.) 

c. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered 
them out of their distresses. (Ps. 107:6.1 

d. Fear thou not: for I am with thee; he not dismayed: for I am 
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will 



uphold thee with the right hand of my righteoustrs; . 1 - I the 

Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee. Fear not: I 
will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob and ye men of Israel; I 
will help thee, saith the Lord, and the redeemer, the Holy One of 
Israel. (Is. 11:10, 13, 14.) Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not 
tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of 
the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the 
waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail : though I 
roar, yet they can not pass over it? (Jer. 5:22.) But I will forewarn you 
whom ye shall fear. Fear him. which after he hath killed hath power 
to cast into hell: yea. I say unto you. Fear him. (Lu_ 12:5.) 

e. Fcr the Lord your God is he that goeth with you. to fight for 
you against your enemies, to save you. (Dt. 2 1 " :4.i Ye shall not fear 
them; for the Lord your God he shall fight for you. (Dt. 3:22.) One 
man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God. he it is 
that fighteth for vou, as he hath promised you. (Josh. 23:10.) 

f. See vs. 21, 26. 

g. He that, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall sud- 
denly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Prcv. 25:1.'* 

h. For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from 
before ycu. until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to 
the Red Sea, which he dries up from before us. until we were gone 
over. (Jcsr. i:L~ .) And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that 
they went through the midst of the sea en dry land: and their per-

(Xeh. 9:11.) He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the 
flood on foot: there did we reioice in him. IPs. 56:6.) By faith they 
passed through the Red Sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians essaying 
to do were drowned. (Heb. 11:29.)

ing watch the Lord looked unto the host of the 
E-gyp'tian§ through the pillaT of fire and of 
the cloud, and troubled the host of the E-gyp'- 
tians, 

25 And took off their chariot wheels, that 
they drave them heavily: so that the E-gyp'- 
tians said, Let us flee from the face of Is'ra-el; 
for the Lord fighteth for them against the 
E-gyp'tian§. 

26 11 And the Lord said unto ^o'ses, Stretch 
out thine hand over the sea, that the waters 
may come again upon the E-gyp'tian§, upon 
their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 

27 And 1 Mo'§e§ stretched forth his hand over 
the sea, and the sea returned 'to his strength 
when the morning appeared; and the E-gyp'- 
tians^ fled against it ; and the Lord overthrew 
the E-gyp'tian§ in the midst of the sea. 

28 And the waters returned, and covered 
the •'chariots, and the horsemen, and all the 
host of Pha'raoh that came into the sea after 
them; there remained not so much as one of 
them. 

29 But the children of Is'ra-el walked upon 
ft dry land in the midst of the sea; and the 
waters were a wall unto them on their right 
hand, and on their left. 

30 Thus the Lord fr saved Is'ra-el that day 
out of the hand of the E-g5 r p'tian§ ; and Is'ra-el 
saw the E-gyp'tians dead upon the sea shore. 

31 And Is'ra-el saw that great work which 
the Lord did upon the E-gyp'tians: and the 
people feared the Lord, and 'believed the Lord, 
and his servant Mo'§e§.

Ch. 15. B. C. 1491. 

NOTE. — Verses 1-21 of ch. 15 con- 
stitute a song of deliverance of Moses 
and Miriam, and is true Hebrew poet- 
ry. Rhyme, measure, regularity in 
accents in number and quantity are 
not to be found. Parallelisms are the 
special characteristics of the form of 
Hebrew poetry which consists in cor- 
respondences of sound or sense be- 
tween successive liues, phrases or 
words, so that the sentiments are re- 
inforced by repetition, comparison and 
contrast. Hebrew poetry being so 
largely made up of monosyllables and 
dissyllables appears at a great disad- 
vantage when translated into another 
language. This poem is simple, 
sensuous, passionate — simple, for the 
words are transparent to the senti- 
ments; sensuous, fqr the imagery 
flashes the ideas to the soul through 
the senses; passionate, for every word 
is a flame, with religion as its inspi- 
ration. "I will siug to Jehovah!" is 
the poem; "sing to Jehovah" is the 
perpetual refrain; and the grand 
chorus bursts from the great host at 
last. "Jehovah shall reign forever and 
ever." The poem is divided into five 
stanzas or strains. The first is de- 
scriptive and in the third person, but 
as the bard's spirit rises the second 
strain mounts into apostrophe, which 
is maintained to the end. Thus the 
ode rolls in five successive waves, 
each returning in the refrain and all 
lolling up together in a grand final 
chorus. (W.) 
Poem (by the whole congregation).

is most glorious, 
The horse and his rider hath he

Chorus (female voices and the whole 
congregation). See v. 21. 



I will prepare him an habitation; my father's 
God, and I will b exalt him. 

3 The Lord is a man of c war: the Lord is 
his name. 

4 Pha'raoh's chariots and his host hath he 
cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are 
drowned in the Red sea. 

5 The depths have covered them: they sank 
into the bottom as a stone. 

6 Thy right hand, Lord, is become glori- 
ous in power: thy right hand, Lord, hath 
dashed in pieces the enemy. 

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency 
thou hast overthrown them that rose up 
against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath r 
which consumed d them as stubble. 

8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the 
waters were gathered together, the floods stood 
upright as an heap, and the depths were con- 
gealed in the heart of the sea. 

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will over- 
take, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be 
satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, 
my hand shall destroy them. 

10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea 
covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty 
waters. 

11 Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the 
gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, 
fearful in praises, doing wonders? 

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the 
earth swallowed them. 

13 Thou in thy c mercy hast led forth the 
people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast 
guided them in thy strength unto thy holy 
habitation. 

14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: 
sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of 
Pai-es-ti'na. 

15 Then the dukes of E'dom shall be 
amazed; the mighty men of Mo'ab, trembling 
shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants 
of Ca'naan shall melt away. 

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by 
the greatness of thine arm they shall be as 
still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O

(7) In the greatness of thy majesty 

thou castest down thy foes; 

Thou sendest forth thy wrath, it 

devoureth them like stubble. 

(8) At the blast of thy nostrils 

heave the waters. 
Rise like a heap the floods. 
Stiffen the depths in the heart 
of the sea. 

Chorus (verse 21). 
III. Triumph over the Enemy. 

(9) Said the enemy: I will chase; I 

will seize; 
I will divide spoil; sated shall

I will bare my sword; my hand

covered them the sea, 
Sauk they like lead in the 
mighty waters. 

Chorus (verse 21). 
IV. Triumph over Heathen Gods. 
(1!) Who like thee among the gods, 
Jehovah ? 
Who like thee, glorious in holi- 
ness. 
Fearful in praises, doing won- 
ders? 

(12) Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, 

the earth swallowed them. 

(13) Thou ledest in thy mercy the 

people thou hast redeemed: 
Thou guidest (them) in thy 



might to the holy habitation. 
Chorus (verse 21). 

V. Future Triumph. 

(14) Listen, (the) nations, (and) 

tremble; 
Terror seizes the dwellers in 
Palestine. 

(15) Then are confounded the dukes 

of Edom; 
The princes of Moab. trembling 

takes hold of them; 
Melt away all the inhabitants 

of Canaan: 

(16) There falls upon them horror 

and trembling. 

By the greatness of thy arm 
they shall be still a stone. 

Till thy people pass through, Je- 
hovah; 



Till pass through the people 
which thou hast redeemed. 

(17) Thou Shalt bring them and plant 
them in the mount of thine in- 
heritance, 
The place of thy dwelling 
(which) thou hast made, Je- 
hovah, 
The sanctuary. Lord, (which) 
thy hands have established.

gation).

ever. 

Chorus to each strain. 
(21) Sing unto Jehovah, for he is 
most glorious, 
The horse and his rider hath he 
thrown into the sea. 



i. And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, 
and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, 
that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over 
all his banks, as they did before. (Josh. 4:18.) 

j. And he led them on safely, so that they feared not; but the sea 
overwhelmed their enemies. (Ps. 78:53.) And he saved them from the 
hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the 
enemy. (Ps. 106:10.) 

k. Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might 
make his mighty power to be known (8). And he saved them from the 
hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of 
the enemy. (Ps. 10G:8, 10.) 

1. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the 
things which Jesus did, believed on him. (Jno. 11:45.) Now when he 
was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in 
his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. (Jno. 2:23.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for 
the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my 
salvation. (Is. 12:2.) The Lord is my strength and song, and he is be- 
come my salvation. He is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; 
my father's God, and I will exalt him. (Ex. 15:2.) Salvation belongeth 
unto the Lord; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Ps. 3:8.) Let the 
words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in 
thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. (Ps. 19:14.) Lead 



me in thy truth and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation; 
on thee do I wait all the day. (Ps. 25:5.) The Lord is my light and my 
salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of 
whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) The Lord is my strength and song, 
and is become my salvation (14). I will praise thee; for thou hast 
heard me, and art become my salvation (21). God is the Lord, which 
hath showed us light, bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns 
of the altar. (Ps. 118:14, 21, 27.) 

b. Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he 
is holy. (Ps. 99:5.) 

c. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that 
sat upon him was called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he 
doth judge and make war. (Rev. 19:11.) But with righteousness shall 
he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; 
and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the 
breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. (Is. 11:4.) 

d. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be; 
and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. 
(Ps. 59:13.) Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the 
flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and 
their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have cast away the law 
of the Lord of hosts, and despise the word of the Holy One of Israel. 
(Is. 5:24.) By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his 
nostrils are they consumed. (Job 4:9.) 

e. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, with an 
upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. (Ps. 18:25.) Be ye there- 
fore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Lu. 6:36.)

Lord, till the people pass over, which thou 
■'hast purchased. 

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them 
in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the 
place, Lord, which thou hast made for thee 
to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, Lord, which 
thy hands have established. 

18 The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. 

19 For the horse of Pha'raoh went in with 
his chariots and with his horsemen into the 
sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of 
the sea upon them; but the children of Is'ra-el 
went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 

20 *" And Mir'i-am the prophetess, the sis- 
-ter of Aar'on, took a timbrel in her hand; and 

all the women went out after her with timbrels 
and with dances. 

21 And Mir'i-am answered them, Sing ye to 
the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; 
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into 
the sea. 

22 So Mo'ses brought Is'ra-el from the Red 
sea, and they went out into the wilderness of 
Shur; and they went three days in the wil- 
derness and found no water. 

23 f And when they came to Ma'rah. they 
could not drink of the waters of Ma'rah, for | 
they were bitter: therefore the name of it was 
called Ma'rah. 

24 And the people murmured againit Md'ses, 
saying. What shall we drink? 

25 And he -"cried unto the Lord; and the 
Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had 
cast into the waters, the waters were made 
sweet: there he made for them a statute and 
an ordinance, and there he proved them. 

26 And said. If thou wilt diligently ''hearken 
to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do 
that which is right in his sight, and wilt j: 
ear to his commandments, and keep all 
statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon 
thee, which I have brought upon the E-gyp- 
tians : for I am the Lord 'that healeth thee. 

27 r And they came to E'llm, where were 
twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten 
palm trees: and they encamped there by the 
waters.

dren of Is ra-el "murmured against Mo'ses and 
Aar'on in the wilderness : 

3 And the children of Is'ra-el said unto 
them, Would to God we had died by the hand 
of the Lord in the iand of Egypt, when we 
sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat 
bread to the full ; for ye have brought us forth 
into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly 
with hunger. 

4 r Then said the Lord unto Mo ses, Behold. 
I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the 
people shall go out and gather a Certain rate 
every day, that I may -prove them, whether 
they will walk in my law, or no. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the 
'sixth day they shall prepare that which they 
bring in ; and it shall be twice as much as they 
gather daily. 

6 And Mo'ses and Aar'on said unto all the 
children of Is'ra-el, At even, then ye shall know 
that the Lord hath brought you out from the 
land of E gypt : 

7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the 
glory of the Lord; for that he heareth your 
murmurings against the Lord: and what are 
we, that ye "murmur against us? 

Lnd Mo ses said, This shall be, when the 
Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, 
and in the morning bread to the full; for that 
the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye 
'murmur against him: and what are we? your 
murmurings are not against us, but c against 
the Lord. 

9 r And 'Mo'ses spake unto 'Aar'on, Say 
unto all the congregation of the children of 
Israel. Come near before the Lord: for he 
hath heard your ''murmurings. 

And it came to pass, as Aar'on spake 
unto the whole congregation of the children of 
Is'ra-el, that they looked toward the wilder- 
ness, and. behold, the glory of the Lord ap- 
peared in the cloud. 

11 r And the Lord spake unto Mo'ses, say- 
ing. 

12 I ^have heard the "murmurings of the 
children of Is'ra-el : speak unto them, saying. 
At even ye shall eat flesh, and 'in the morning 
ye shall be filled with bread; and ye -''shall 
know that I am the Lord your God. 

13 And it came to pass, that at even the 
-quails came up. and covered the camp: and in 
the morning the dew lay round about the host. 

14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, 
behold, upon the face of the wilderness there 
lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar 
frost on the ground. 

15 And when the children of Is'ra-el saw it. 
they said one to another, It is manna : for they 
wist not what it was. And Mo ses said unto 
them, This *is the bread which the Lord hath 
given you to eat. 

16 r This is the thing which the Lord hath

nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him 
who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (I Pet. 
2:9.) 

g. And call upon me in the day of trouble; I •will deliver thee, and 
thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 50:15.) 

h. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearten to these judg- 
ments, and keep and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto 
thee the covenant and the mercv which he sware unto thv fathers. 
(Dt. 7:15.1 

i. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. 
(Ps. 103:S.) He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their 
•wounds. (Ps. 147:3.) And there was delivered unto him the book 
of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found 
the place where it was written. The spirit of the Lord is upon thee, be- 
cause he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath 
sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the 
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that 
are hruised. (Lu. 4:17. IS.) And the inhabitant shall not say. I am 
sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. (Is.

Son. thy sins be forsiven thee. (Mk. 2:5.)

of the Lcrd. (Ps. 106:25.) Neither murmur ye. as some of them also 
murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer. (I Cor. 10:10.) Say 
not thou, what is the cause that the former days were better thai 
these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. (Ece. 7:10.) 



b. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the 
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and ac- 
ceptable and "perfect will of God. (Rom. 12:2. ) Examine yourselves 
whether ye be in the faith: prove your own selves. Know ye not your

(II Cor. 13:5.) Prove all things: hold fast that which is good. (I Thess.

gave them bread from heaven to eat (31). Tour fathers did eat manna 
in the wilderness, and are dead (491. This is that bread which came

commanded, Gather of it every man according 
to his eating, an 6 omer for every man, accord- 
ing to the number of your persons; take ye 
every man for them which are in his tents. 

17 And the children of Is'ra-el did so, and 
gathered, some more, some less. 

18 And when they did mete it with an omer, 
he that gathered much had 'nothing over, and 
he that gathered little had no lack; they gath- 
ered every man according to his eating. 

19 And Mo'ses. said, Let no man leave of it 
till the morning. 

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto 
4 Mo'§e§; but some of them left of it until the 
morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and 
Mo'§e§ was wroth with them. 

21 And they gathered it every morning, 
every man according to his eating: and when 
the sun waxed hot, it melted. 

22 1[ And it came to pass, that on the sixth 
day they gathered twice as much bread, two 
omers for one man: and all the rulers of the 
congregation came and told 4 Mo'§e§. 

23 And he said unto them, This is that 
which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the 
rest of the holy 'sabbath unto the Lord: bake 
that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that 
ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over 
lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as 
M5'ses bade: and it did not ^'stink, neither was 
there any worm therein. 

25 And 4 Mo'§e§ said, Eat that to day; for 
to day is a ''sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye 
shall not find it in the field. 

26 Six 'days ye shall gather it; but on the 
seventh day, which is the •'sabbath, in it there 
shall be none. 

27 % And it came to pass, that there went 
out some of the people on the seventh day for 
to gather, and they found none. 

28 And the Lord said unto 4 Mo'se§, How 
long '"refuse ye to keep my commandments and 
my laws? 

29 See, for that the Lord hath given you 
the J'sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the 
sixth day the bread of two days ; abide ye every 
man in his place, let no man go out of his place 
on the seventh day. 

30 So the people rested on the seventh day. 

31 And the house of is'ra-el called the name 
thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed 
white; and the taste of it was like wafers made 
with honey. 

32 TAnd Mo'ses. said, This is the thing 
which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of 



6. Z\' 2 pints. 



7. In three ways the sanctity of 
the Sabbath was to be 'made manifest 
in this miracle; first, a double quan- 
tity was proved on the sixth day; 
second, there was none on the seventh 
day; third, that gathered on the sixth 
did not putiefy on the seventh. 



S. The two tablets of the law. 



9. Verses 32 to 36 are valuable in 
throwing light on the manner in 
which the book was written. The ac- 
count of the manna laid up before 
the testimony was composed after the 
ark of the testimony was made and 
the tabernacle set up, while the 35th 
verse was written after the forty 
years' journey was ended, which 
clearly indicates that Moses had daily 
prepared his diary and at the close 
of his long career wove the events 
into a regular treatise.

it to be kept for your generations; that they 
may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in 
the wilderness, when I brought you forth from 
the land of E'gypt. 

33 And 4 Mo'§e§ said unto "Aar'on, "Take a 
pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, 
and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for 
your generations. 

34 As the Lord commanded Mo'§e§, so 5 Aar'- 
on laid it up "before the 'Testimony, to be kept. 

35 And the children of Is'ra-el did eat man- 
na "forty years, °until they came to a land in- 
habited; they did eat manna, until they came 
unto the borders of the land of Ca'naan.

CHAPTER 17. 

1 The people murmur for water at Rephidim. 
5 God sendeth Moses to the roek in Horeb. 
8 Amalek is overcome by the holding up of 
Moses' hands. 15 Moses buildeth the altar 
Jehovah-nissi. 

1 And all the congregation of the children 
of Is'ra-el journeyed from the wilderness of 
Sin, after their journeys, according to the com- 
mandment of the Lord, and pitched in Reph'i- 
dim: and there was no water for the people to 
drink. 

2 Wherefore the people did chide with 1 M6'- 
§e§, and said, Give us water that we may drink. 
And ^o'ge? said unto them, Why chide ye 
with me? wherefore do ye a tempt the Lord? 

3 And the people thirsted there for water; 
and the people 6 murmured against Mo'§e§, and 
said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought 
us up out of E'gypt, to kill us and our children 
and our cattle with thirst? 

4 And 1 Mo'se§ cried unto the Lord, saying, 
What shall I do unto this people? they be al- 
most ready to stone me. 

5 And the Lord said unto ^o'ges-s, c Go on 
before the people, and take with thee of the 
elders of Is'ra-el; and thy rod, wherewith thou 
smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. 

6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon 
the rock in Hd'reb; and thou shalt smite the 
rock, and there shall come water out of it, that 
the people may a drink. And 4 Mo'§e§ did so in 
the sight of the elders of Is'ra-el. 

7 And he called the name of the place Mas'- 
sah, and Mer'i-bah, because of the chiding of 
the children of Is'ra-el, and because they 
"tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord e among 
us, or not? 



i. As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; 
and he that had gathered little had no lack. (II Cor. 8:15.) 

j. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; hecause that 
in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 
(Gen. 2:3.) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 20:8.) 
Six days shall work be done; but the seventh day is the sabbath of 
rest, and holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein; it is the 
sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. (Lev. 23:3.) Moreover also 
I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they 
might know that I am the Lord that sanctified them. (Ez. 20:12.) Keep 
the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded 
thee. (Dt. 5:12.) 

k. See v. 20. 

1. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh 
day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any 
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy 
maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. 
(Ex. 20:9, 10.) 

m. Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, 
like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their 
God. (II Ks. 17:14.) They soon forgat his works; they waited not for 
his counsel. (Ps. 106:13.) O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wicked- 
ness, that thou mayest be saved; how long shall thy vain thoughts 
lodge within thee? (Jer. 4:14.) 

n. Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the convenant over- 
laid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, 
and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant. (Heb. 
9:4.) And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the 
staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark. (Ex. 
40:20.) 

o. And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led 
thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove 
thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his 
commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hun- 
ger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did 
thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not 



live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth 
of the Lord doth man live. (Dt. 8:2, 3.) Thou gavest also thy good 
spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their 
mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst; yea, forty years didst 
thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing, their 
clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not. (Neh. 9:20, 21.) 
Chapter 17. 

a. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord. 
(Is. 7:12.) Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt 
not tempt the Lord thy God. (Math 4:7.) Neither let us tempt Christ, 
as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (I Cor. 
10:9.) Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in 
Massah. (Dt. 6:16.) 

b. But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice 
of the Lord. (Ps. 106:25.) Neither murmur ye, as some of them also 
murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. (I Cor. 10:10.) Say 
not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? 
for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. (Ecc. 7:10.) 

c. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid 
of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost 
dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed 
at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. (Ez. 2:6.) Be not 
afraid of their faces; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the 
Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of 
the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. (Heb. 11:27.) 
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye; and be not 
afraid of their terror, neither be troubled. (I Pet. 3:14.) 

d. And did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of 
that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Christ. 
(I Cor. 10:4.) Ye opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran 
in the dry places like a river. (Ps. 105:41.) 

e. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound; they shall 
walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. (Ps. 89:15.) Because 
thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I 
rejoice. (Ps. 63:7.) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath 
visited and redeemed his people. (Lu. 1:68.)

8 r Then came Am'a-lek, and fought with 
is'ra-el in Reph'i-dim. 

9 And ! Mo'ses said unto -J6sh'u-a, Choose us 
out men, and go out, fight with Am'a-lek: to 
morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with 
the 'rod of God in mine hand. 

10 So J6sh'u-a did as Mo'ses .had said to 
him, and fought with Am'a-lek: and Mo'ses, 
Aar'on, and "Hur went up to the top of the hill. 

11 And it came to pass, when 'Mo'ses held 
up his hand, that is'ra-el prevailed: and when 
he let 'down his hand, Am'a-lek prevailed. 

12 But 'Moses' hands were heavy; and they 
took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat 
thereon; and Aar'on and Hur stayed up his 
hands, the one on the one side, and the other 
on the other side; and his hands were steady 
until the going down of the sun. _ 

13 And J6sh'u-a 7 discomfited Am'a-lek and 
his people with the edge of the sword. 

14 And the Lord said unto : M6'ses, Write 
this for a memorial in a 'book, and rehearse it 
in the ears of J6sh'u-a: for I will utterly put 
out the remembrance of Am'a-lek from under 
heaven. 

15 And Closes built an altar, and called the 
name of it 'Je-ho'vah-nis'si : 

16 For he said, ^'Because the Lord hath 
sworn that the Lord will have war with Am'a- 
lek from generation to generation. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 Jethro bringeth to Moses his wife and two 
sons. 7 Moses entertaineth him. 13 Jethro's 
counsel is accepted. 27 Jethro departeth. 

1 When 'Je'thro, the priest of Mid'I-an, : M5'- 
§es' father in law, heard of all that God had 
done for M5'ses, and for Is'ra-el his people, 
and that the Lord had brought Is'ra-el out of 
Egypt; 

2 Then 'Je'thro, "Mo'ses' father in law, took 
Zip-po'rah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her 
back, 

3 And her two sons; of which the name of 
the one was s Ger shorn; for he said, I have 
been an alien in a strange land : 

4 And the name of the other was 4 E-li-e'zer; 
for the God of my father, said he, was mine 
help, and delivered me from the sword of Pha'- 
ra5h : 

5 And Je'thro, Mo'ses' father in law, came 
with his sons and his wife unto Mo'ses into the 
wilderness, where he encamped at the 'mount 
of God: 

6 And he said unto ; M6'ses, I thy father in 
law 1 Je'thro am come unto thee, and thy wife, 
and her two sons with her. 

7 ""And : Mo'ses went out to meet his father 
in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and 
they asked each other of their welfare; and 
they came into the tent. 

8 And "Mo'ses told his father in law all that 
the Lord had done unto Pha'raoh and to the 
E-gyp'tians for Is'ra-el's sake, and all the 
travail that had come upon them by the way, 
and how the Lord delivered them.

second leader of Israel, now first 
makes his appearand'. His name was 
originally Hoshea (or Oshea), which 
means help or deliverance, but in 
Numbers 13:16 his name was changed 
by Moses into Jehoshua or Joshua. 
thus giving him the addition of the 
Memorial Name Jah, making it mean 
the Jehovah Savior. Joshua was the 
military leader of Israel under the di- 
rection of Moses through all the des- 
ert journey. After the death > f >!•>- 
ses God encouraged and directed 
Joshua directly to take on him the 
government of the Hebrews, and 
1 to give him his continued 
presence and support. He died at the 
age of 110, and was burled at Tim- 
nath-Serah. his own city. Joshua 

pos ed the character of a devout 

warrior who combined strength with 
gentleness. He with the simplicity

had delivered out of the hand of the E-gyp'- 
tians. 

10 And 'Je'thro said, Blessed be the Lord, 
who hath delivered you out of the hand of the 
E-gyp'tians, and out of the hand of Pha'raoh, 
who hath delivered the people from under the 
hand of the E-gyp'tians. 

11 Now I know that the Lord is greater 
c than all gods: for in the thing wherein they 
dealt 'proudly ^he was above them. 

12 And Je'thro, ■Mo'ses' father in law, took 
a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and 
Aar'on came, and all the elders of is'ra-el, to 
eat bread with Mo ses' father in law before 
'God. 

13 *~ And it came to pass on the morrow, 
that Mo'ses sat to judge the people: and the 
people stood by Mo'ses from the morning unto 
the evening. 

14 And when Mo'ses' father in law saw all 
that he did to the people, he said, What is this 
thing that thou doest to the people? why sit- 
test thou thyself alone, and all the people stand 
by thee from morning unto even? 

15 And Mo'ses said unto his father in law, 
Because the people come unto me to enquire 
"of God. 

16 When they have a matter, they come unto 
me; and I judge between one and another, and 
I do make them know the statutes of God, and 
his laws. 

17 And Mo'ses' father in law said unto him, 
The thing that thou doest is not good. 

18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, 
and this people that is with thee: for this 
thing is too heavy for thee; thou are not able 
to perform it thyself alone. 

19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give 
thee counsel, and God shall be with thee. Be 
thou for the people to 7 God-ward, that thou 
mayest bring the causes unto God : 

20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and 
laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein 
they must walk, and the work that they 
must do. 

21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all 
the people ''able men, such as ffear God, men 
"of truth, hating covetousness; and place such 
over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rul- 
ers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 
of tens. 

22 And let them judge the people at all sea- 
sons: and it shall be, that 5 every great matter 
they shall bring unto thee, but every small 
matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier 
for thyself, and they shall bear the burden 
with thee. 

23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God com- 
mand thee so, then thou shalt be able to en- 
dure, and all this people shall also go to their 
place in peace, 

24 So : Mo'ses hearkened to the voice of his 
father in law, and did all that he had said. 

25 And Mo'ses chose able men out of all Is'- 
ra-el, and made them heads over the people, 
rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers 
of fifties, and rulers of tens. 



Chapter IS. 

a. But if any have caused gTief, he hath not grieved me, but in 
parts: that I may not overcharge you all. (II Cor. 2:5.) For the Lord 
is a great God, and a great King above all gods. (Ps. 95:3.) For I 
know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. (Ps. 
135:5.) 

b. Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is 
proud, and abase him. Look on every one that is proud, and bring him 
low, and tread down the wicked in their place. (Job 40:11, 12.) Thou 
hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy com- 
mandments. (Ps. 119:21.) He hath showed strength with his arm: he 
hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. (Lu. 1:51.) 

c. And did eat and drink before the Lord on that day with great 
gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second 
time, and anointed him unto the Lord to be the chief governor, and 
Zadok to be priest. (I Chr. 29:22.) Behold Israel after the flesh; are 
not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? (IS). Te 
cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils; ye cannot be 
partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils (21). Whether 
therefore ve eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of 
God. (I Cor. 10:18, 21, 31.) 



d. Then called I upon the name of the Lord : O Lord. I beseech 
thee, deliver my soul. (Ps. 116:4.) I cried unto the Lord with my 
voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication. (Ps. 
142:1.) And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought 
always to pray, and not to faint. (Luke 18:1.) 

e. And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of 
the Lord: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and 
possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers. (Dt. 
6:18.) "Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest 
report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over 
this business. (Acts 6:3.) 

f. And Joseph said unto them the third day. This do. and live: for 
I fear God. (Gen. 42:18.) The God of Israel said. The Rock of Israel 
spake to me. He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear 
of God. (II Sam. 23:3.) Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but 
shalt fear thy God. (Lev. 25:43.) But the former governors that had 
been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them 
bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver: yea. even their servants 
bare rule over the people, but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

selves.

part; and he went his way into his own land. 

CHAPTER 19. 
1 The people come to Sinai. 3 God's message 
unto the people out of the mount. 8 The peo- 
ple's answer. 10 The people are prepared 
against the third day. 16 The fearful pres- 
ence of God upon the mount. 

1 In the third 'month, when the children of 
is'ra-el were gone forth out of the land of 
E'gypt, the "same day came they into the wil- 
derness of Si'nai. 

2 For they were departed from Reph'i-dim, 
and were come to the desert of ■Si-nai, and had 
pitched in the wilderness; and there °Is'ra-el 
camped before the mount. 

3 And 3 Mo'§e§ went up unto God, and the 
Lord called unto him out of the mountain, 
saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of 
T Ja'cob, and tell the children of is'ra-elj 

4 Ye have seen what I did unto the E-gyp'- 
tian§, and how a l bare you on eagles' wings, 
and brought you unto myself. 

5 Now therefore, if ye will 6 obey my voice 
indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be 
a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: 
for all the earth is mine: 

6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of 
priests, and an holy nation. These are the 
words which thou shalt speak unto the children 
of Is'ra-el. 

7 H And 3 Mo'§e§ came and called for the eld- 
ers of the people, and laid before their faces 
all these words which the Lord commanded 
him. 

8 And all the people answered together, and 
said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. 
And 3 M6'§e§ returned the words of the people 
unto the Lord. 

9 And the Lord said unto M5'se§, Lo, I come 
unto thee 8 in a c thick cloud, that the people 
may hear when I speak with thee, and believe 
thee for ever. And 3 M6'§e§ told the words of 
the people unto the Lord. 

10 If And the Lord said unto Mo'§e§, Go unto 
the people, and 4 sanctify d them to day and to 
morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 

11 And be ready against the third day: for 
the third day the Lord will come down in the 
sight of all the people upon mount 2 SI-nai. 

12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the peo- 
ple round about, saying, Take heed to your- 
selves, that ye go not up into the mount, or 
touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the 
mount shall be surely put to death:

NOTE. — Jehovah revealed as King 
of Israel. The divine glory revealed. 
With ch. 19 we approach the most 
sublime and impressive narrative of 
the Old Testament. The straggle and 
victory of the exodus is over; two 
months' experience and exposures of 
the desert journey have passed; the 
Israelites have pitched their tents at 
the foot of the holy mountain where 
Moses beheld the burning bush, and 
here they await further revelations 
of Jehovah. 

1. Forty-five days after the de- 
parture from Egypt, for adding six- 
teen days of the first month to twen- 
ty-nine of the second, the sum is 45. 
To this add the day Moses went up 
to meet God (v. 3), then the next 
day after when he returned the peo- 
ple's answer to God (vs. 7, 8), and 
the three days more mentioned in 
verses 10 and 11, which makes just 
50 days from the giving of the iaw 
on Mt. Sinai. Hence the feast which 
was given and kept In after time to 
celebrate this event was called Pent- 
ecost, or the fiftieth day. 

2. The open plain before the moun- 
tains. 

3. See 11, ch. 2. 

4. Wash and ceremonially cleanse. 

5. Making clean for the coming 
of the Lord. 

6. The ciders. 

7. The only occurrence of this ex- 
pression in the Pentateuch, doubtless 
referring here to the special promises 
made to the old patriarchs. (Speak- 
ers' Commentary.) 

S. Behold I am coming. 

9. So sacred and awful was that 
mount to be esteemed that no thing 
unbidden or unsanctified should touch 
it.

11. The whole of it was smoking. 

12. Groaned. 

13. Give warning to them. 



Ch. 20. B. C. 1491. 

NOTE.— Most of the authorities 
agree that the first five command- 
ments were written on the first tab- 
let and the remaining five on the sec- 
ond, viz. : 

First Tablet: 

(1) Thou shalt have no other gods 
before me. 



13 There shall not an "hand touch it, but he 
shall surely be stoned, or shot through; wheth- 
er it be beast or man, it shall not live: when 
the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up 
to the mount. 

14 If And 3 M5'§e§ went down from the mount 
unto d the people, and sanctified the people; and 
they ^washed their clothes. 

15 And he said unto the people, Be ready 
against the third day: come not at your wives. 

16 If And it came to pass on the third day in 
the morning, that there were thunders and 
lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, 
and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; 
so that all the people that was in the camp 
trembled. 

17 And 3 M5'§e§ brought forth the people out 
of the camp to meet with God; and they stood 
at the "nether part of the mount. 

18 And mount Si'nai was altogether on a 
"smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in 
fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the 
smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount 
"quaked r greatry. 

19 And when the voice of the trumpet sound- 
ed long, and waxed louder and louder, Mo'ses. 
spake, and God answered him by a voice. 

2'0 And the Lord came down upon mount 
: Si'nai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord 
called 3 Mo'§e§ up to the top of the mount; and 
Mo'ses. went up. 

21 And the Lord said unto Mo'§es, Go down, 
"charge the people, lest they break through 
unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them 
perish. 

22 And let the priests also, which come near 
to the Lord, ^sanctify themselves, lest the Lord 
''break forth upon them. 

23 And 3 Mo'§e§ said unto the Lord, The peo- 
ple cannot come up to mount 2 Si'nai : for thou 
chargedst us, saying. Set bounds about the 
mount, and sanctify it. 

24 And the Lord said unto him, Away, get 
thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and 
Aar'on with thee: but let not the priests and 
the people break through to come up unto the 
Lord, lest he break fforth upon them. 

25 So 3 M5'?e§ went down unto the people, 
and spake unto them.

executed true judgment between man and man. (Ez. 18:8.) He that 
putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the 
innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. (Ps. 15:5.) 
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth 
to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your 
gates. (Zech. 8:16.) The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but 
a lying tongue is but for a moment. (Prov. 12:19.)

spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings. 
(Dt. 32:11.) And in all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel 
of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed 
them; and he bare them and carried them all the days of old. (Is. 63:9.) 

b. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep 
his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and 
cleave unto him. (Dt. 13:4.) Thou shalt therefore obey the voice ot 
the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which 
I commanded thee this day. (Dt. 27:10.) And thou shalt do that which 
is right and good in the sight of the Lord; that it may be well with 
thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the 
Lord sware unto thy fathers. (Dt. 6:18.) That they may walk in my 
statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall be. my 
people, and I will be their God. (Bz. 11:20.) 

c And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the 
mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, 
clouds, and thick darkness. (Dt. 4:11.) Clouds and darkness are round 



about him; rightsousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 
(Ps. 97:2.) 

d. Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance nf faith, 
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies 
washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.) Having therefore these prom- 
ises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the 
flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (II Cor. 7:1.) 
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths 
ye shall keep; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your 
generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify 
you. (Ex. 31:13.) Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord 
spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them That come nigh me, and 
before ali the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. 
(Lev. 10:3.) 

e. O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou 
didst march through the wilderness (7). The earth shook, the heavens 
also dropped at the presence of God, even Sinai itself was moved at the 
presence of God, the God of Israel. (Ps. 68:7, 8.) Tremble, thou earth, 
at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. (Ps. 
114:7.) I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills 
moved lightly. (Jer. 4:24.) 

f. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God 
smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. 
(II Sam. 6:7.) And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they 
had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty 
thousand and threescore and ten men. And the people lamented, be- 
cause the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter. 
(I Sam. 6:19.)

Chapter 20. 

a. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which 
are round about you. (Dt. 6:14.) For thou shalt worship no other 
god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. (Ex. 34:14.) 
Woe to them that go down to Egyp\ for help, and stay on horses, and 
trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because 
they are very strong. But they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, 
neither seek the Lord (Is. 31:1.) But the Lord is the true God, he 
is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth 
shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indigna- 
tion. (Jer. 10:10.) 

b. Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up 
a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your 
land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 26:1.) 
Confounded be they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of 
idols; worship him, all ye gods. (Ps. 97:7.) Turn ye not unto idols, nor 
make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:4.) 
Take heed' unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your 
God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the like- 
ness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee. (Dt. 
4:23.) Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of 
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or 
that is in the waters beneath the earth. (Dt. 5:8.) 

c. With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, 
saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor 
serve them, nor sacrifice to them (35). And the covenant that I have 
made with you, ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear oiher gods. 
(II Ks. 17:35, 38.) There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shall 
thou worship any strange god. (Ps. 81:9.) Yet I am the Lord thy God 
from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me; for there 
is no saviour beside me. (Hos. 13:4.) Wherefore, my dearly beloved, 
flee from idolatry. (I Cor. 10:14.) Little children, keep yourselves from 
idols. (I Jno. 5:21.) 

d. For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name 
is Jealous, is a jealous God. (Ex. 34:14.) They have moved me to 
jealousy with that which is not God, they have provoked me to anger 
with their vanities; and I will move them to jealousy with those which 
are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 
(Dt. 32:21.) How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy 
jealousy burn like a fire? (Ps. 79:5.) Do we provoke the Lord to 
jealousy? are we stronger than he? (I Cor. 10:22.) 

e. God layeth up his iniquity for his children; he rewardeth them, 
and he shall know it. (Job 21:19.) The tabernacle of the congregation, 
and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and 
all the furniture of the tabernacle. (Ex. 31:7.) If we confess our sins, 
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all 
unrighteousness. (I Jno. 1:9.) A man shall be satisfied with good 
by the fruit of his mouth; and the recompense of a man's hands shall 
be rendered unto him. (Prov. 12:14.) According to their deeds, ac- 
cordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his 
enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense. (Is. 59:18.) According 
to their uncleanness, and according to their transgressions, have I 
done unto them, and hid my face from them. (Ez. 39:24.) 

f. (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake 
thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which 
he sware unto them. (Dt. 4:31.) Nevertheless for thy great mercies' 
sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou 
art a gracious and merciful God. (Neh. 9:31.) O give thanks unto the 
Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 107:1.) To 
the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have 
rebelled against him. (Dan. 9:9.) Who is a God like unto thee, that 
pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of 
his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in 
mercy. (Mic. 7:18.) But he, being full of compassion, forgave their 
iniquity, and destroyed them not; yea, many a time turned he his 
anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. (Ps. 78:38.) 

g. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Math. 5:33.) And ye shall 
not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of 
thy God. I am the Lord. (Lev. 19:12.) That which is gone out of thy 
lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a free-will offering, according 
as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thv God, which thou hast promised 
with thy mouth. (Dt. 23:23.) Thou shall not take the name of the Lord 
thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh 
his name in vain. (Dt. 5:11.) 

h. Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the 
bag of deceitful weights? (11). For the rich men thereof are full of 
violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their 
tongue is deceitful in their mouth (12). Therefore also will I make thee 
sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins. 
(Mic. 6:11-13.) They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall 
move out of their holes like worms of the earth; they shall be afraid 
of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee. (Mic. 7:17.) 
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness; ac- 



cording unto the multitude of thy tender merries blot out my trans- 
gressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me 
from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is 
ever before me. Against thee, thee only have I sinned, and done this 
evil in thy sight; that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, 
and be clear when thou Judgest. (Ps. 51:1-4.) 

i. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath 
commanded thee. (Dt. 5:12.) And God blessed the seventh day and 
sanctified it; because that in it he had rested from all his work which 
God created and made. (Gen. 2:3.) Remember the sabbath day to keep 
it holy. (Ex. 20:8.) Six days shall work be done; but the seventh 
day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work 
therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. (Lev. 23:3.) 
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and 
them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. 
(Ez. 20:12.) ' 

j. Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou 
shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy 
hand-maid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. (Ex. 23:12.) Six days 
thou shalt work; but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time 
and in harvest thou shalt rest. (Ex. 34:21.) The sleep of a laboring 
man is sweet, whether he eat little or mjch; but the abundance of 
the rich will not suffer him to sleep. (Ecc. 5:12.) And in the same 
house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the 
laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. (Lu. 1"7 1 
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to 
work with your own hands, as we commanded you. (I Thes. 4:11.) 
Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath com- 
manded thee. Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work. (DU 
5:12, 13.) 

k. For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother; and, 
He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. (Math. 15:4.) 
Honor thy father and mother, (which is the first commandment 
with promise). (Eph. 6:2.) And he that curseth his father or his 
mother shall surely be put to death. (Ex. "1:17.) Cursed be he that set- 
teth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, 
Amen. (Dt. 27:16.) Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp 
shall be put out in obscure darkness. (Prov. 20:20.) 

1. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill. 
Thou shalt' not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt 
not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly compre- 
hended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy- 
self. (Rom. 13:9.) And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy 
brother? And he said. I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? (9). And 
he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth 
unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, 
which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thine 
hand. (Gen. 4:9-11.) And surely your tlood of your lives will I 
require; at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of 
man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 
(Gen. 9:5.) And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that 
he die, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. 
(Num. 35:16.) At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall 
he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one 
witness he shall not be put to death. (Dt. 17:6.) 

m. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time. Thou 
shalt not commit adultery; But I say unto you, That whosoever look- 
eth on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her 
already in his heart. (Math. 5:27, 28.) Thou knowest the command- 
ments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear 
false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother. (Mk. 10:19.1 
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both 
it and them; now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and 
the Lord for the body (13). Know ye not that your bodies are the 
members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and 
make them the members of an harlot? God forbid (15). Flee fornica- 
tion. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body: but he that com- 
mitteth fornication, sinneth against his own body. (I Cor. 6.13, 15, 18.) 
And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed,, and lie with her, he 
shall surely endow her to be his wife. (Ex. 22:16.) And the man that 
committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that commit- 
teth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress 
shall surely be put to death. (Lev. 20:10.) Marriage is honorable in 
all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will 
judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

n. If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it. or sell it; he shall 
restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep (1). If a thief 
be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be 
shed for him (2). If the sun be risen upon him. there shall be blood 
shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, 
then he shall be sold for his theft (3). If the theft be certainly found 
in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass. or sheep, he shall restore 
double. (Ex. 22:1-4.) The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; 
because they refuse to do judgment. (Prov. 21:7.)

thee.

stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone:

polluted it.

of, it shall be a jubilee unto you. and

5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I 
love my master, my wife, and my children; I 
will not go out free: 

6 Then his master shall bring him unto the 
judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or 
unto the door post; and his master shall bore 
his ear through with an aul ; and he shall serve 
him for ever. 

7 II And if a man sell his daughter to be a 
maidservant, she shall not go out as the men- 
servants do. 

8 If she 'please not her master, who hath be- 
trothed her to himself, then shall he let her be 
redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he 
shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt de- 
ceitfully with her. 

9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, 
he shall deal with her after the manner of 
daughters. 

10 If he take him another wife; her food, 
her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall 
he not diminish.

then shall she go out free without money.

shall be surely put to death.

die.

only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and 
shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; 
he shall be surely punished.

two, he shall not be punished: for he is his 
money.

o. Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor. 
(Dt. 5:20.) He saith unto him, "Which? Jesus said. Thou shalt do no 
murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou 
shalt not bear false witness. (Math. 19:18.) Thou knowest the com- 
mandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not 
bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother. (Lu. 18:20.) 
Thou shalt not raise a false report; put not thine hand with the 
wicked to be an unrighteous witness. (Ex. 23:1.) Ye shall not steal, 
neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. (Lev. 19:11.) These 
six things doth the Lord hate; yea, seven are an abomination unto 
him (16): A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent 
blood (17). An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift 
in running to mischief (18). A false witness that speaketh lies, and he 
that soweth discord among brethren. (Prov. 6:16-19.) 

p. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousnrss. 
(Ps. 119:36.) For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and 
smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in 
the way of his heart. (Is. 57:17.) For this, Thou shalt not commit 
adultery. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear 
false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other com- 
mandment it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt 
love thy neighbor as thyself. (Rom. 13:9.) 

q. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to 
lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 
(Math. 5:28.) 

r. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good under- 
standing have all they that do his commandments; his praise endureth 
for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole mat- 
ter: Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty 
of man. (Bcc. 12:13.) 

s. And in all things that I have said unto you, Be circumspect; 
and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be 
heard out of thy mouth. (Ex. 23:13.) Turn ye not unto idols, nor 



make to yourselves molten gods; I am ihe Lord your God. (Lev. 19:4.) 
Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abom- 
ination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and 
putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, 
Amen. (Dt. 27:15.) Confounded be all they that serve graven images, 
that boast themselves of idols; worship him, all ye gods. (Ps. 97:7.) 
Chapter 21. 

a. Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judg- 
ments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye 
might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it. (Dt. 6:1.) But 
he that doeth wrong, shall receive for the wrong which he hath done; 
and there is no respect of persons. (Col. 3:25.) With good will doing 
service, as to the Lord, and not to man. (Eph. 6:7.) According to 
their uncleanness, and according to their transgressions, have I done 
unto them, and hid my face from them. (Ez. 39:24.) 

b. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: 
for in the image of God made he man. (Gen. 9:6.) Then said Jesus 
unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place; for all they that 
take the sword shall perish with the sword. (Math. 26:52.) 

c. And this is the case of the slayer which shall flee thither, that 
he may live; whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated 
not in time past; As when a man goeth into the wood with his neigh- 
bor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the ax to cut 
down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth 
upon his neighbor, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities,

d. But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and 
rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth 
into one of these cities (11). Then the elders of his city shall send 
and fetch him thence and deliver him into the hands of the avenger of 
blood, that he may die. (Dt. 19:11, 12.)

lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges 
determine.

shalt give life for life, 

24 Eye for ^eye, tooth for tooth, hand for 
hand, foot for foot, 

25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, 
stripe for stripe. 

26 r And if a man smite the eye of his serv- 
ant, or the eye of his maid, that it -perish ; he 
shall let him go free for his eye's sake. 

27 And if he smite out his manservant's 
tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let 
him go free for his tooth's sake. 

28 *~ If an ox gore a man or a woman, that 
they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, 
and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner 
of the ox shall be quit. 

29 But if the ox were wont to push with his 
horn in time past, and it hath been testified 
to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but 
that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox 
shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be 
put to death.

then he shall give for the ransom of his life 
whatsoever is laid upon him. 

31 Whether he have gored a son, or have 
gored a daughter, according to this judgment 
shall it be done unto him.

maidservant; he shall give unto their master 
thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be 
stoned. 

33 K And if a man shall open a pit, or if a 
man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox 
or an ass fall therein; 

34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, 
and give money unto the owner of them; and 
the dead beast shall be his.

to push in time past, and his owner hath not 
kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; 
and the dead shall be his own.

a. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off; 
him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. (Ps. 
101:5.) He that hideth hatred .with lying lips, and he that uttereth a 
slander, is a fool. (Prov. 10:18.) A false witness shall not be unpun- 
ished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. (Prov. 19:5.) 

b. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not re- 
spect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but 
in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. (Lev. 19:15.) 

c. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be 
thirsty, give Tiim water to drink. (Prov. 25:21.) See that none render 
evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both 
among yourselves, and to all men. (I Thes. 5:15.) But I say unto you, 
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that 
hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute 
you. (Math. 5:44.) 

d. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungod- 
liness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteous- 
ness. (Rom. 1:18.) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but 
now commandeth all men every where to repent. (Acts 17:30.)

i. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed 
unto the day of redemption. (Eph. 4:30.) But they rebelled, and 
vexed his holy Spirit; therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and 
he fought against them. (Is. 63:10.) And not only they, but our- 
selves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we our- 



selves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the re- 
demption of our body. (Rom. 8:23.) 

j. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the Lord; for 
he is an holy God, he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your trans- 
gressions nor your sins. (Josh. 24:19.) If any man see his brother sin 
a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life 
for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; I do 
not say that he shall pray for it. (I Jno. 5:16.)

my son from thence (7). And he said unto me, The Lord, before 
whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way. 
(Gen. 24:7, 40.) And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, 
and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt. (Num. 
20:16.) The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that 
fear him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) For he shall give his angels 
charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee 
up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. (Ps. 
91:11, 12.) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister 
for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.)

but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his "ways, and to love him, 
and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

come, and I will make all thine enemies turn 
their backs unto thee. 

28 And I will send hornets before thee, 
which shall drive out the Hi'vite, the Ca'naan- 
lte, and the Hit'tite, from before thee. 

29 I will not drive them out from before 
thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, 
and the beast of the field multiplv against thee. 

30 By little and little I will drive them out 
from before thee, until thou be increased, and 
inherit the land. 

31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red 
sea even unto the sea of the "Phi-lls'tines, and 
from the desert unto the river: for I will de- 
liver the inhabitants of the land into your 
hand; and thou shalt drive them out before 
thee. 

32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, 
nor with their gods. 

33 They shall not dwell "in thy land, lest 
they make thee sin against me: for if thou 
serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto 
thee.

and all the people answered with one voice, 
and said, All the words which the Lord hath 
said will we do. 

4 And Moses wrote all the words of the 
Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and 
builded an altar under the hill, and twelve 
pillars, according to the twelve tribes of is'- 
ra-el. 

5 And he sent young men of the children of 
Is'ra-el, which offered burnt offerings, and sac- 
rificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord. 

6 And Mo'ses took half of the blood, and put 
it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled 
on the altar. 

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and 
"read in the audience of the people: and they 
said, All that the Lord hath said u-ill we do, 
and be obedient. 

8 And Mo'ses took the blood, and sprinkled 
it on the people, and said, Behold a the blood of 
the covenant, which the Lord hath made with

exhibited himself to them, has given 
them the ten words of the covenant 
or commandments, as a matchless 
body of laws to regulate the social 
and civil affairs of Israel. The next 
step now is to establish a system of 
worship that will centralize the re- 
ligious interests of the people and > 
develop by sacred services and sym- ! 
bols the knowledge and fear of .Te- 
hovah. Therefore the plan of the j

1 Then went up Mo'ses, and Aar'on, Xa'-

is'ra-el: 

10 And they saw the God of is'ra-el: and 
there was under his feet as it were a paved 
work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the 
body of heaven in his clearness. 

11 And upon the nobles of the children of 
is'ra-el he laid not his hand: also they saw 
God, and did eat and drink. 

12 r And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Come 
up to me into the mount, and be there: and I 
will give thee ^tables of stone, and a law, and 
commandments which I have written; that 
thou mayest teach them. 

13 And Mo ses rose up, and his minister 
J6sh'u-a: and Mo'ses went up into the mount 
of God. 

14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye 
here for us, until we come again unto you : 
and. behold. Aar'on and Hur are with you: if 
any man have any matters to do, let him come 
unto them. 

15 And Mo'ses went up into the mount, and 
r a cloud covered the mount. 

16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon 
mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six 
days: and the seventh day he called unto Mo'- 
ses out of the midst of the cloud. 

17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord 
was like devouring fire on the top of the mount 
in the eyes of the children of is'ra-el. 

18 And Mo'ses went into the midst of the 
cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and 
Mo'ses was in the mount d forty days and forty 
nights.

and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love 
mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. (Mic. 6:S.) Jesus said 
unto him. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and 
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Mat. 22:37.) 

n. And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will 
put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon 
thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. (Dt. 7:15.) 

o. And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities 
that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of 
Jacoh. (Gen. 35:5.) This day will I hegin to put the dread of thee

who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish 
because of thee. (Dt. 2:25.)

tables of the testimony were in his hand, the tables were written on 
both their sides, on the one side and on the other were they written. 



And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing 
of God, graven upon the tables. (Ex. 32:15, 16.)

did eat bread nor crink water. (Dt. 9:9.) 

Chapter 25.

will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and 
they shall be my people. (II Cor. 6:16.)

c. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first 
tables which thou brakest. and thou shalt put them in the ark. (Dt. 
10:2.) Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant over- 
laid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, 
and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant. (Heb. 9:4.) 

d. And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother 
that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil 
before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark, that he die not; for I 
will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.' (Lev. 16:2.) And thou 
shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the 
testimony, where I will meet with you. (Num. 17:4.) For he shall 
have judgment without mercy that hath shown no mercy; and mercy 
rejoiceth against judgment. (Ja. 2:13.) And when Moses was gone 
into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he 
heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that 
was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubim, and he 
spake unto him. (Num. 7:89.) And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, 
and said, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubim, 
thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; 
thou hast made heaven and earth. (II Ks. 19:15.) Give ear, O Shep-

tenth deals shall be in one cake. And thou shalt set them in two rows,

g. And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn in- 
cense upon it; a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your 
generations. (Ex. 30:8.) Without the veil of the testimony, in the 
tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening 
unto the morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a statute 
forever in your generations. He shall order the lamps upon the pure 
candle-stick before the Lord continually. (Lev. 24:3, 4.) And they 
burn unto the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices 
and sweet incense; the show-bread also set they in order upon the 
pure table; and the candle-stick of gold with the lamps thereof, to 
burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord our God; but 
ye have forsaken him. (II Chr. 13:11.) 

h. And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fash- 
ion thereof, which was shown thee in the mount. (Ex. 26:30.) And 
this work of the candle-stick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft there- 
of, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work; according unto the pat- 
tern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the candle-stick. 
(Num. 8:4.) Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilder- 
ness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it. 
according to the fashion that he had seen. (Acts 7:44.) Who serve 
unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was ad- 
monished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle; for, 
See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern 
shown to thee in the mount. (Heb. 8:5.) 

Chapter 26.

ings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits. (Ex. 
38:9.) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with 
praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (Ps. 100:4.) 

b. And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, 
where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep. (I 
Sam. 3:3.) And they burn unto the Lord every morning and every 
evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; the showbread also set 
they in order upon the pure table; and the candle-stick of gold with 
the lamps thereof, to burn every evening; for we keep the charge of 
the Lord our God; but ye have forsaken him. (II Chr. 13:11.) 

c. It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations through- 
out all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. (Lev. 3:17.) 
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and 
an ordinance for Israel unto this day. (I Sam. 30:25.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. And the cloths of service; and the holy garments of Aaron the 
priest and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office. 
(Ex. 31:10.) And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the 
girdle, and clothed him with a robe, and put the ephod upon him, and 
he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto 
him therewith (7). And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the 



blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon 
his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with 
him; and sanctified Aaron and his garments, and his sons' garments 
with him. (Lev. 8:7, 30.) And strip Aaron of his garments, and put 
them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered unto his peo- 
ple and shall die there (26). And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, 
and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top 
of the mount; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount. 
(Num. 20:26, 28.) 

b. And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath 
called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of 
Judah; and he hath filled him with the spirit of God, and wisdom, in 
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. 
(Ex. 35:30, 31.) Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? Doth he open 
and break the clods of his ground? (24). For his God doth instruct him 
to discretion, and doth teach him. (Is. 28:24, 26.) 

c. Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were 
cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over 
Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be 
for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. (Josh. 4:7.) And 
the crown shall be to Helem, and .to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to 
Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the Lord.

35 And it shall be upon 'Aar'on to minister: 
and his sound, shall be heard when he goeth in 
unto the holy place before the Lord, and when 
he cometh out, that he die not. 

36 r And e thou shalt make a plate of pure 
gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of 
a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. 

37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that 
it may be upon the "mitre; upon the fore- 
front of the mitre it shall be. 

38 And it shall be upon ^Adr'on's forehead, 
that Aar'on may d bear the iniquity of the holy 
things, which the children of is'ra-el shall hal- 
low in all their holy gifts; and it shall be al- 
ways upon his forehead, that they may be ac- 
cepted before the Lord. 

39 *" And thou shalt embroider the coat of 
fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of 
fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of 
needlework. 

40 r And for 'Aar'on's sons thou shalt make 
coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, 
and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for 
glory and for beauty. 

41 And thou shalt put them upon 'Aar'on 
thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt 
anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify 
them, that they may minister unto me in the 
priest's office. 

42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches 
to cover their nakedness; from the loins even 
unto the thighs they shall reach: 

43 And they shall be upon 'Aar'on, and upon 
his sons, when they come in unto the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, or when they come 
near unto the altar to minister in the holy 
place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it 
shall be a statute for ever unto him and his 
seed after him. 

CHAPTER 29. 
1 The sacrifice and ceremonies of consecrating 
the priests. 38 The continual burnt offering. 
45 God's promise to dwell among the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do 
unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me 
in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, 
and two rams without blemish, 

2 And unleavened 'bread, and cakes unleav- 
ened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened 
anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou 
make them. 

3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, 
and bring them in the basket, with the bullock 
and the two rams. 

4 And "Aar'on and his sons thou shalt bring 
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation, and shalt ^wash them with water. 

5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put 
upon 'Aar'on the coat, and the robe of the 
ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and 
gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod: 

6 And thou shalt put the ^mitre upon his 
head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. 



d. Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as the seal upon thine arm; 
for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the gTave; the coals 
thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. (Song 
8:6.) Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have 
compassion on the son of her womb? Tea, they may forget, yet will 
I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my 
hands; thy walls are continually before me. (Is. 49:15, 16.) For Christ 
is not entered into the holy places made -v1th hands, which are the 
figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the pres- 
ence of God for us (24). So Christ was once offered to bear the sins 
of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second 
time without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:24, 28.) 

e. And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote 
upon it in a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO 



THE LORD. (Ex. 39:30.) Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his 
name; bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in 
the beauty of holiness. (I Chr. 16:29.) Thy testimonies are very sure; holi- 
ness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever. (Ps. 93:5.) For such an 
High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from 
sinners, and made higher than the heavens. (Heb. 7:26.) 

Chapter 29. 

a. Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, 
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies 
washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.) Then will I sprinkle clean 
water upon you, and ye shall be clean; from all your filthiness. and 
from all your idols, will I cleanse you. (Ez. 36:25.) Having there- 
fore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all 
filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 
(II Cor. 7:1.)

17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and 
wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put 
them unto his pieces, and 5 unto his head. 

18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon 
the altar: it is a 6 burnt offering unto the Lord: 
it is a sweet 6 savour, an offering made by fire 
unto the Lord. 

19 II And thou shalt take the other ram; 
and 2 Aar'on and his sons shall put their hands

ram of Aar'on's consecration, and wave it for

be thy part. 

27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the 
wave 7 offering, and the shoulder of the heave 
'offering, which is waved, and which is heaved 
up, of the ram of the consecration, even of 
that which is for Aar'on, and of that which 
is for his sons:

and to be consecrated in them. 

30 And that son that is priest in his stead 
shall put them on seven days, when he cometh 
into the tabernacle of the congregation to 
minister in the holy place. 

31 II And thou shalt take the ram of the 
consecration, and "seethe his flesh in the holy 
place. 

32 And 2 Aar'on and his sons shall eat the 
flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the 
basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation.

have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou 
consecrate them.

for a sin offering for ( 'atonement: and thou 
shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an 
atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to

b. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; 
and it shall he accepted for him to make atonement for him. (Lev. 
1:4.) Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the 
burnt offering: it is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon 
the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall 
be burning in it (9). The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; 
it shall never go out. (Lev. 6:'.), 13.) 

c. His own hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire; 
the fat with the breast; it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved 
for a wave offering before the Lord. (Lev. 7:30.) And the priests shall 
wave them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the 
priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder; and after that the 
Nazarite may drink wine. (Num. 6:20.) And Moses took the breast, 
and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord: for of the ram of 
consecration it was Moses' part; as the Lord commanded Moses. (Lev. 
8:29.) 

d. Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, 
seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it to you to bear the in- 
iquity of the congregation, to make atonement to them before the 
Lord? (Lev. 10:17.) 

e. And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for 
a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priests shall make an 
atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. (Lev..4:20.) And the 
priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children 
of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance; and 



they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, 
and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance. (Num. 
15:25.) When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through 
ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God con- 
cerning things which should not be done, and is guilty (22), And he 
shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off 
the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the 
altar for a sweet savor unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an 
atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. (Lev. 4:22, 31.) Aud 
the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it 
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in tres- 
passing therein. (Lev. 6:7.) The anti-type Jesus Christ having come 
in the new dispensation to make atonement for man, the type of the 
old dispensation having been done away with.— For this is my blood 
of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission- of sins. 
(Mat. 26:28.) Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again 
for our justification. (Rom. 4:25.) Grace be to you and peace from 
God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ (3). Who gave him- 
self for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, 
according to the will of God and our Father. (Gal. 1:3, 4.) And walk in 
love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an 
offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor. (Eph. 5:2.) 

f. And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all 
his vessels, and sanctify the altar; and it shall be an altar most holy.

13 This they shall give, every one that pass- 
eth among them that are numbered, half a 
shekel after the "shekel" of the sanctuary: 
(a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel 
shall be the offering of the Lord. 

14 Every one that passeth among them that 
are numbered, from twenty years old and 
above, shall give an offering unto the Lord. 

15 The rich shall not give mure, and the 
poor shall not give less than half a shekel, 
when they give an offering unto tlie Lord, to 
make an atonement for your souls. 

16 And thou shalt take the atonement money 
of the children of is'ra-el, and shalt appoint it 
for the service of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation ; that it may be a memorial unto 
the children of is'ra-el before the Lord, to 
make an "atonement for your souls. 

17 K And the Lord spake unto Mo'ses, say- 
ing, 

18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, 
and his foot also of brass, to wash withal : and 
thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of 
the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt 
put water therein. 

IS For 7 Aar'on and his sons 6 shall wash 
their hands and their feet thereat: 

20 When they go into the tabernacle of the 
congregation, they shall wash with water, that 
they die not; or when they come near to the 
altar to minister, to burn offering made by 
fire unto the Lord: 

21 So they shall wash their hands and their 
feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute 
for ever to them, even to him and to his seed 
throughout their generations. 

22 r Moreover the Lord spake unto "Mo'ses, 
saying, 

23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices 
of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of 
sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hun- 
dred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus 
two hundred and fifty shekels, 

24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after 
the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive 
an hin : 

25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy 
ointment, an ointment compound after the art 
of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anoint- 
ing oil. 

26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of 
the congregation therewith, and the ark of the 
testimony, 

27 And the table and all his vessels, and the 
candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of 
incense, 

28 And the altar of burnt offering with all 
his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 

29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they 
may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them 
shall be holy. 

30 And thou shalt anoint Aar'on and his 
sons, and consecrate them, that they may 
minister unto me in the priest's office. 

31 And thou shalt speak unto the children 
of is'ra-el, saying, This shall be an holy anoint- 
ing oil unto me throughout your generations. 

32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, 
neither shall ye make any other like it, after 
the composition o^ it: it is holy, and it shall 
be holy unto you. 



g. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, 
and the abomination that rnaketh desolate set .up, there shall be a 
thousand two hundred and ninetv davs. (Dan. 12:11.) 

Chapter. 30. 

a. And the priests shall make an atonement for him before the Lord. 
and it shall be forgiven him for anything of all that he hath done in 
trespassing therein. CLev. 6:7.) The anti-type Jesus Christ having come 



in the New Dispensation to make atonement for roan, the type of the 
Old Dispensation been done away with. See e, ch. 29. 

b. Depart ye. depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean 
thing; go ye out of the midst of her: be ye clear., that bear the vessels

and our bodies washed with pure water. (Heb. lo:22 i

unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and 
galbanum; these sweet spices with pure 

frankincense: of each shall there be a like 
weight : 

35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a 
confection after the art of the apothecary, 
"'tempered together, pure and holy: 

36 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, 
and put of it before the testimony in the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, where I will meet 
with thee: it shall be unto you most holy. 

37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt 
make, ye shall not make to yourselves accord- 
ind to the composition thereof: it shall be unto 
thee holy for the Lord. 

38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to 
smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his 
people.

1 Bezaleel and Aholiab are called and made 
meet for the work of the tabernacle. 12 The 
observation of the sabbath is again com- 
manded. 18 Moses receiveth the two tables. 

1 And the Lord spake unto a Mo'§e§, saying, 

2 See, I have called by name Be-zal'e-el the 
son of U'ri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of 
Ju'dah: 

3 And I have °filled him with the spirit of 
God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in 
knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 

4 To devise "cunning works, to work in gold, 
and in silver, and in brass, 

5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and 
in carving of timber, to work in all manner of 
workmanship. 

6 And I, behold, I have given with him 
4 A-h5'li-ab, the son of A-hls'a-mach, of the 
tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are 
wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they 
may make ail that I have commanded thee; 

7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and 
the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat 
that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the 
tabernacle, 

8 And the table and his furniture, and the 
pure candlestick with all his furniture, and 
the altar of incense, 

9 And the altar of burnt offering with all 
his furniture, and the laver and his foot, 

10 And the cloths of service, and the holy 
garments for 5 Aar'on the priest, and the gar- 
ments of his sons, to minister in the priest's 
office, 

11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense 
for the holy place: according to all that I 
have commanded thee shall they do.

3. Bezaleel. meaning protection of 
God; a famous workman, son of Uri, 
to whom Jehovah gave the construc- 
tion of the ark in the wilderness; he 
was particularly given control of the 
metal, wood and stone works, with a 
general supervision of the entire con- 
struction. 

4. A member of the tribe of Dan, 
who was to be associated with Bezal- 
eel in the construction of the ark. 
Aholiab had special charge of the tex- 
tile fabrics. 

5. For historical account of Aaron

6. Observe that all the command- 
ments of the first tablet have their 
violation punished by death. It was 
therefore taught that any willful vio- 
lation of these laws was to be con- 
sidered a capital crime, although none 
of them are so regarded in the New 
Testament. Not that God has chang- 
ed, but that through the civilization 
of the human race the ministration 
of death has accomplished its purpose 
and has therefore been supplanted by 
other punishments and restrictions. 

7. Smaller in size than the ark in 
which they were deposited and light 
enough for Moses to carry down the 
mountain. The majority of authori- 
ties agree that they were perhaps two 
or three inches thick to prevent 
breaking and about a foot square. 

8. An anthropomorphic way of des- 
ignating the divine agency in the 
preparation of the tablets and the 
writing of the commandments thereon, 
and is not to teach that Jehovah has 
a physical part or body. (H.) 

Ch. 32. B. C. 1491. 

NOTE.— In chapter 32 is the most 
striking illustration imaginable of 
the gross hardness of heart and idola- 
trous tendencies of the people of that 
time and the necessity of a most se- 
vere legislation, strictly administered, 
to cultivate a moral sense in Israel. 
While yet under the very shadow of 
Sinai and so soon after the terrible 
displays of God's presence and pow- 
er, as recorded in ch. 22. it would 
seem incredible that the people could 
possibly forget Jehovah, but such they 
did, and returned to the old form of 
idoiatrous worship.

12 If And the Lord spake unto 'Mo'§e§, say- 
ing, 

13 Speak thou also unto the children of ts'ra- 
el, saying, ^Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: 
for it is a sign between me and you through- 
out your generations; that ye may know that 
I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. 

14 Ye shall 6 keep the sabbath therefore; for 
it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it 
'shall surely be put to death: for whosoever 
doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut 
off from among his people. 

15 Six c days may work be done; but in the 
seventh is the & sabbath of rest, holy to the ■ 
Lord : whosoever doeth any work in the sab- 
bath day, he shall surely be put to death. 

16 Wherefore the children of Is'ra-el shall 
keep the ^sabbath, to observe the sabbath 
throughout their generations, for a perpetual 
covenant. 

17 It is d a sign between me and the children 
of Is'ra-el for ever: for in six days the Lord 
made heaven and earth, and on the seventh 
day he rested, and was refreshed. 

18 II And he gave unto 'Mo'sjeij, when he had 
made an end of communing with him upon 
mount Si'nai, 7 two c tables of testimony, tables 
of stone, written with the s fmger of God. 

CHAPTER 32. 

1 The people cause Aaron to make a calf. 7 
God is angered thereby. 11 At the intreaty 
of Moses he is appeased. 15 Moses cometh 
down with the tables. 19 He breaketh them. 
20 He destroyeth the calf. 25 Moses causeth 
the idolaters to be slain. 

1 And when the people saw that ] M5'§e§ "de- 
layed to come down out of the mount, the 
people gathered themselves together unto 2 Aar'- 
on, and said unto him, Up, make 6 us gods, 
which shall go before us; for as for this 
'MS'^es, the man that brought us up out of the 
land of E'gypt, we 3 wot not what is become of 
him. 

2 And 2 Aar'on said unto them, Break off the 
golden earrings, which are in the ears of your 
wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, 
and bring them unto me. 

3 And all the people brake off the golden 
earrings which were in their ears, and brought 
them unto 2 Aar'on. 

4 And he c received them at their hand, and 
fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had 
made it a molten calf: and they said, "These 
\>e thy gods, Is'ra-el, which brought thee up 
out of the land o'f E'gypt. 

5 And when 2 Aar'on saw it, he built an altar 
before it; and Aar'on made proclamation, and 
said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord. 

6 And they rose up early on the morrow, 
and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace 



Chapter 31. 

a. He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father 
was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom, 
and understanding and cunning to work all works in brass. And he 
came to king Solomon, and wrought all his works. (I Ks. 7:14.) For 
his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. (Is. 
2S:26.) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to 
another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. (I Cor. 12:8.) 

b. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. But the seventh 
day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any 
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy 
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy 
gates. (Ex. 20:8, 10.) Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh 
day thou shalt rest; in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. 
(Ex. 34:21.) Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day 
there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: 
whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. (Ex. 35:2.) Ye 
shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am the 
Lord (2). As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not 
rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. (Lev. 26:2, 35.) More- 
over also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and 
them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctified them. 
(Ez. 20:12.) Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy 
God hath commanded thee. (Dt. 5:12.) If thou turn away thy foot from 
the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the 
sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor 
him. not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor 
speaking thine own words (13). Then shalt thou delight thyself in the 
Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, 



and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of 
the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 58:13-14.) 

c. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. (Ex. 20:9.) Six 
days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest, 
that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, 
and the stranger, may be refreshed. (Ex. 23:12.) Six days shall work 
be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a. 
sabbath of rest to the Lord; whosoever doeth work therein shall be 
put to death. (Ex. 35:2.) The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether 
he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him 
to sleep. (Ecc. 5:12.) And that ye study to he quiet, and to do your 
own business, and to work with your own hands, as we command you. 
(I Thess. 4:11.) 

d. And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me 
and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God. (Ez. 20:20.) 

e. And he declared unto you his. covenant, which he commanded 
you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon - 
two tables of stone. (Dt. 4:13.) Forasmuch as ye are manifestly 
declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with 
ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but 
in fleshy tables of the heart. (II Cor. 3:3.) 

Chapter 32. 

a. When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of 
stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, 
■'hen I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat 
bread nor drink water. (Dt. 9:9.) 

b. Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for as for this 
Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is 
become of him. (Acts 7:40.)

to drink, and rose up to play. 

7 II And the Lord said unto J M6'§es, Go, get 
thee down ; for thy people, which thou brought- 
est out of the land of E'gypt, have corrupted 
themselves : 

8 They have turned aside quickly out of the 
way which I commanded them : they have made 
them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, 
and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These 

, be thy gods, O is'ra-el, which have brought 
thee up out of the land of E'gypt. 

9 And the Lord said unto Mo'§es, I have 
seen this people, and, behold, it is a ^stiffnecked 
people : 

10 Now therefore let me alone, that my 
wrath may wax hot against them, and that I 
may consume them: and I will make of thee 
a great nation. 

11 And 'Mo'^es besought the Lord his God, 
and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot 
against thy people, which thou hast brought 
forth out of the land of E'gypt with great 
power, and with a mighty hand? 

12 "Wherefore should the E-gyp'tiang speak, 
and say, For mischief did he bring them out, 
to slay them in the mountains, and to consume 
them from the face of the earth? Turn from 
thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil 
against thy people. 

13 Remember A'bra-ham, I'saac, and is'ra-el, 
thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine 
own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply 
your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this 
land that I have spoken of will I give unto 
your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 

14 And the Lord 'repented d of the evil 
which he thought to do unto his people.

from the mount, and the two tables of the 
testimony were in his hand: the tables were 
written on both their sides; on the one side 
and on the other were they written. 

16 And the tables were the work of God, 
and the writing was the writing of God, graven 
upon the tables. 

17 And when s Josh'u-a heard the noise of 
the people as they shouted, he said unto Mo'§e§, 
There is a noise of war in the camp.

that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice 
of them that cry for being overcome: but the 
noise of them that sing do I hear. 

_ 19 11 And it came to pass, as soon as he came 
nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and

made the children of is'ra-el drink of it. 

21 And "Mo'ses. said unto "Aaron, What did 
this people unto thee, that thou hast brought 
so great a sin upon them? 

22 And "Aaron said, Let not the anger of 
my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, 
that they are set on mischief. 

23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, 
which shall go before us: for as for this 
Mo'ses, the man that brought us up out of the 
land of E'gypt, we "wot not what is become 
of him. 

24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath 
any gold, let them break it off. So they gave 
it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there 
came c out this calf. 

25 H And when 'Md'ses. saw that the people 
were 'naked; (for Aaron had made them 
naked unto their shame among their enemies:) 

26 Then 'MS'ses stood in the gate of the 
camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? 
let him come unto me. And all the sons of 
'"Le'vi gathered themselves together unto him. 

27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God of is'ra-el, Put every man his sword 
by his side, and go in and out from gate to 
gate throughout the camp, and "slay every man 
his brother, and every man his companion, and 
every man his neighbour. 

28 And the children of Le'vi did according 
to the word of 'Mo'ses: and there fell of the 
people that day about three thousand men. 

29 For "Mo'ses had said, "Consecrate your- 
selves to day to the Lord, even every man upon" 
his son, and upon his brother; that he may 
bestow upon you a blessing this day. 

30 Y And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
'Mo'ses? said unto the people, -'Ye have sinned 
a great sin: and now I will go up unto the 
Lord; "peradventure ''I shall make an atone- 
ment for your sin. 

31 And 'Mo'ses returned unto the Lord, and 
said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, 
and have made them gods of gold. 

32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin — ; 
and if not, blot me, I pray thee, "out 'of thy 
book which thou hast written. 

33 And the Lord said unto ^lo'ses, Whoso- 
ever hath sinned against me, him will I blot 
out of my book. 

34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto 
the place of which I have spoken unto thee: 
behold, mine -'angels shall go before thee: 
nevertheless in the day when I visit I will 
visit ''their sin upon them. 

35 And the Lord "'plagued the people, be- 
cause they made the calf, which 2 Aar'on made. 



c. Whereupon the king; took counsel, and made two calves of gold, 
and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; 
behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of 
Egypt. (I Ks. 12:28.) They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the 
molten image. (Ps. 106:19.) They lavish gold out of the bag, and 
weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it 
a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. (Is. 46:6.) And they made 
a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and re- 
joiced in the works of their own hands. (Acts 7:41.) And changed the 
glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible 
man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Rom. 
1:23.) 

d. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself of his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and theFe is none 
shut up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem 
to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and he repent- 
ed him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, 
stay now thine hand. (I Chr. 21:15.) If that nation, against whom I 
have pronounced, turn from their evil. I will repent of the evil that I 
thought to do unto them. (Jer. 18:8.) Rend your heart, and not your 
garments, and turn unto the Lord your God; for he is gracious and 
merciful; slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of 
the evil. (Jeel 2:13.) And God saw their works, that they turned from 
their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said that he 
would do unto them; and he did it not. (Jonah 3:10.) 

e. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Ex. 20:3.) Turn ye 
not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord 
your God. (Lev. 19:4.) Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the 
covenant of the Lord your God which he made with you, and make 
you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God 



hath forbidden thee. (Dt. 4:23.) Thou shalt not make thee any graven 
image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that 
is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou 
shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord 
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon 
the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate 
me, And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep 
my commaadments. (Dt. 5:8-10.) 

f. See ch. 33:4, 5. 

g. And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all 
this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve 
the Lord with all your heart. (I Sam. 12:20.) 

h. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the 
gate; it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the 
remnant of Joseph. (Amos. 5:15.) 

i. If any man shall take away from the words of the book of this 
prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and 
out of the holv city, and from the things which are written in this 
book. (Rev. 22:19.)

and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me. and that 
sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land: he shall 
send his angels before thee, and" thou shalt take a wife unto my son 
from thence. (Gen. 24:7.) Behold I send an Angel before thee, to 
keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have 
prepared. (Ex. 23:20.) The angel of the Lord encampeth round 
about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) And of the 
angels he saith. Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a 
flame of fire (7). Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to 
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:7. 14.)

4 The people murmur. 7 The tabernacle is 
removed out of the camp. 9 The Lord talk- 
eth ivith Moses. 12 Moses desireth to see his 
glory. 

1 And the Lord said unto ^o'geg, Depart, 
and go up hence, thou and the people which 
thou hast brought up out of the landof E'gypt, 
unto the land which I sware unto A'bra-ham, 
to I'§aac, and to Ja'cob, saying, Unto thy seed 
will I give it: 

2 And I will send an a angel before thee; and 
I will drive out the Ca'naan-ite, the Am'or-ite, 
and the Hit'tlte, and the Per'iz-zite, the Hi'- 
vite, and the Jeb'u-site: 

3 Unto a land flowing with milk and 
honey: for I will not go up in the midst of 
thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I 
consume thee in the way. 

4 11 And when the people heard these evil 
tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on 
him his ornaments. 

5 For the Lord had said unto 'Md'ge?, Say 
unto the children of Is'ra-el, Ye are a stiff- 
necked people: I will come up into the midst 
of thee in a moment, and consume thee: there- 
fore now put off thy ornaments from thee, 
that I may &know what to do unto thee. 

6 And the children of is'ra-el stripped them- 
selves of their ornaments by the mount Hd'reb. 

7 And ^o'ges. took the 2 tabernacle, and, 
pitched it without the camp, afar off from the 
camp, ana called it the Tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. And it came to pass, that every 
one which sought the Lord went out unto the 
tabernacle of the congregation, which was 
without the camp. 

8 And it came to pass, when 'Mo'ses? went 
out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose 
up, and stood every man at his tent door, and 
looked after M5'§e§, until he was gone into 
the tabernacle. 

9 And it came to pass, as 'Mo'^es. entered 
into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, 
and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and 
the Lord c talked with Mo'§e§. 

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar 
stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people 
rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent 
door. 

11 And the Lord d spake unto M5'§e§, face to 
face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And 
he turned again into the camp: but his servant 
Josh'u-a, the son of Nun, a young man, depart- 
ed not out of the tabernacle. 

12 f And ^o'ges. said unto the Lord, See, 
thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and 
thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt 
send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know 
thee by name, and thou hast also found grace 
in my sight. 

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have

NOTE.— In ch. 33 is recorded Je- 
hovah's refusal to go further with 
the Israelites because of their sius, 
which must not go unpunished. He 
therefore tells Moses that he will 
send with him the angel of his pres- 
ence instead of hi n self, and only 
through the persistent intercessions 
and pleadings of Moses did Jehovah 
continue with the Israelites.

2. The tent of Moses, which had 
hitherto been used as the central 
point of the Israelites' camp. 



3. Observe the effect of the plead- 
ings of Moses. lu v. 3 Jehovah 
said, "I will not go up in the midst 
of thee." but after the penitence of 
the people and the incessant pleadings 
of Moses. Jehovah has compassion on 
them and says. "My presence shall go 
with thee." "The prayer of a right- 
eous man availeth much."

way, that I may know thee, that I may find 
grace in thy sight: and consider that this na- 
tion is thy people. 

14 And he said, 3 My 'presence shall go with 
thee and I will give thee rest. 

15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go 
not with me, carry us not up hence. 

16 For wherein shall it be known here that 
I and thy people have found e grace in thy 
sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so 
shall we be separated, I and thy people, from 
all the people that are upon the face of the 
earth. 

17 And the Lord said unto Mo'§e§, I will 
^do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for 
thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know 
thee by name. 

18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy 
glory. 

19 And he said, I will make all my goodness 
pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name 
of the Lord before thee; and will be ''gracious 
to whom I will be gracious, and will shew 
mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face : 
for there shall no man see me, and live. 

21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a 
place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory 
passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the 
rock, and will 'cover thee with my hand while 
I pass by: 

23 And I will take away mine hand, and 
thou shalt see my back parts: but my face 
shall 'not be seen. 

CHAPTER 34. 
1 The tables are renewed. 5 The name of the 
Lord proclaimed. 8 Moses intreateth God to 
go with them. 10 God maketh a covenant 
with them. 28 Moses cometh down from the 
mount with the tables. 

1 And the Lord said unto ^o'^e?, Hew thee 
two tables of stone like unto the first: and a I 
will write upon these tables the words that 
were in the first tables, which thou brakest. 

2 And be ready in the morning, and come up 
in the morning unto Mount Si'nai, and present 
thyself there to me in the top of the mount. 

3 And no man shall come up with thee, nei- 
ther let any man be seen throughout all the 
mount; neither let the flocks and herds feed 
before that mount. 

4 \ And he hewed two tables of stone like 
unto the first; and a Mo'§e§ rose up early in the 
morning, and went up unto Mount Si'nai. as 
the Lord had commanded him, and took in his 
hand the two tables of stone. 

5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and 
stood with him there, and proclaimed the name 
of the Lord. 

6 And the Lord passed by before him, and 
proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, & merciful 



k. God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, 
and he shall know it. (Job 21:19.) The house of the wicked shall be 
overthrown; but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. (Prov. 
14:11.) The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; but the desire 
of the righteous shall be granted (24). The way of the Lord is strength 
to the upright; but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. 
(Prov. 10:24, 29.)

b. Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my 
thoughts. (Ps. 139:23.) Let me be weighed in an even balance, that 
God may know mine integrity. (Job 31:6.) 

c. He spake unto them in a cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, 
and the ordinance that he gave them. (Ps. 99:7.) 

d. And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua; and Moses went 
up into the mount of God. (Ex. 24:13.)

Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no differ-

Is in Jesus Christ. (Rom. 3:22-24.) By whom also we have access by 
Jaith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the 
glory of God. (Rom. 5:2.) Even so then at this present time also there 
is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then 
is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be 
of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work, 



(Rom. 11:5, 6.) For by grace areye saved through faith; and that not 
of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should 
boast. (Eph. 2:8, 9.) 

f. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his pres-

he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. (Is. 63:9.) Confess 
your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be 
healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

h. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, 
but of debt. (Rom. 4:4.)

'iniquity and transgression and sin, and that 
will by no means clear the guilty; visiting thf 
iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and 
upon the children's children, unto the third and 
to the fourth generation. 

8 And 'Mo'ge? made haste, and bowed his 
head toward the earth, and worshipped. 

9 And he said, If now I have found "grace 
in thy sight, Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, 
go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; 
and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take 
us for thine inheritance. 

10 % And he said, Behold, I make a covenant : 
before all thy people I will do marvels, such as 
have not been done in all the earth, nor in any 
nation: and all the people among which thou 
art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a 
terrible thing that I will do with thee. 

11 Observe thou that which I command thee

Am'or-Ite, and the Ca'naan-ite, and the Hit'-

the Jeb'u-site. 

12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a 
covenant with the inhabitants of the land 
whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in 
the midst of thee: - 

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break 
their images, and cut down their groves:

the Lord, whose name is ^Jealous, is a ''jealous 
God: 

15 Lest thou make a covenant with the in- 
habitants of the land, and they go a whoring 
after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their 
gods, and one call thee, and thou 'eat of his 
sacrifice; 

16 And thou take of their daughters unto

every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox 
or .sheep, that is male. 

20 But the 'firstling of an ass thou shalt re- 
deem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, 
then shalt thou break his neck. All the first- 
born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none 
shall appear before me empty. 

21 H Six '"days thou shalt work, but on the 
seventh "day thou shalt rest: in earing time 
and in harvest thou shalt rest.

weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and 
the feast of ingathering at the year's end. 

23 \ Thrice in the year shall all your men- 
children appear before the Lord God, the God 
of Is'ra-el. 

24 For I will cast out the nations before 
thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall 
any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go 
up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice 
in the year. 

25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sac- 
rifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of 
the feast of the passover be left unto the 
morning. 

26 The first of the 6 firstfruits of thy land 
thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord 
thy God. Thou shalt not °seethe a kid in his 
mother's milk. 

27 And the Lord said unto 'Mo'se?, Write 
thou Pthese words : for after the tenor of these 
words I have made a covenant with thee and 
with is'ra-el. 

28 And he was there with the Lord forty 
days and forty nights; he did neither eat 
bread, nor drink water. And 'he wrote upon 
the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten 
commandments.

despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long- 
suffering: not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repent- 
ance? (Rom. 2:4.) The Lord is net slack concerning his promise, as 
some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not will- 
ing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (9). 
And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as 
our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto 
him, hath written unto you. (II Pet. 3:9, 15.) 

d. For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth reach- 
eth unto the clouds. (Ps. 108:4.) For the Lord is good; his mercy is 
everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (Ps. 100:5.) 

e. Thou showest loving-kindness unto thousands, and recompensest 
the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: 
the Great, the Mighty God. the Lord of hosts, is his name. (Jer. 32:18.) 
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my 
commandments. (Ex. 20:6.) 

f. If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from 
mine iniquity. (Job 10:14.) Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy 
people, thou hast covered all their sin. Thou hast taken away all thy 
wrath; thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 
(Ps. 85:2, 3.) Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniqui- 
ties. (Ps. 51:9.) Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto 
the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blas- 
pheme. (Mk. 3:28.) But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father 
which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. (Mk. 11:26.) If we confess 
our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse 
us from all unrighteousness. (I Jno. 1:9.) 

g. For thus saith the high and lofty One, that inhabitetb eternity, 
whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also 
that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the 
humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (Is. 57:15.) That 
they may shoot in secret at the perfect; suddenly do they shoot at him, 
and fear not. (Ps. 64:4.) Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord; for he 
is raised up out of his holy habitation. (Zech. 2:13.) ' 

h. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for 
I the Lord 'thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the 
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them 
that hate me. (Ex. 20:5.) And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot 
serve the Lord; for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not 
forgive your transgressions nor your sins. (Josh. 24:19.) Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was 
jealous for her with great fury. (Zech. 8:2.) 

i. As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are 



offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the 
world, and that there is none other God but one. (I Cor. 8:4.) 

j. Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods, I 
am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:4.) Take heed to yourselves, that 
your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, 
and worship them. (Dt. 11:16.) Ye shall make you no idols nor graven 
image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up 
any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it; for I am tho 
Lord your God. (Lev. 26:1.) Thou shalt not make thee any graven 
image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in 
the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth. (Dt. 
5:8.) 

k. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread (thou shalt 
eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time 
appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou earnest out from Egypt; 
and none shall appear before me empty). (Ex. 23:15.) 

1. Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring 
unto the Lord, whether it be of man or beasts, shall be thine: never- 
theless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the first- 
ling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. (Num. 18:15.) 

m. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath 
commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work. 
(Dt. 5:12, 13.) Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh 
day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the 
son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed. (Ex. 23:12.) 
The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; 
but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. (Ecc. 5:12.) 

n. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because 
that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and 
made. (Gen. 2:3.) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 
20:8.) Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sab- 
bath of rest, an holy convocation. (Lev. 23:3.) Moreover also I gave 
them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might 
know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. (Ez. 20:12.) 

o. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) 

p. Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, 
that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever. (Is. 30:8.) 

q. And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the 
writing of God, graven upon the tables. (Ex. 32:16.) And he declared 
unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten 
commandments: and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. (Dt. 
4:13.) 

r. And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the 
two tables of the testimony were in his hand, the tables were written 
on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

Be-zal'e-el the son of U'ri, the son of Hur, of 
the tribe of Ju'dah; 

31 And he hath filled him with the ''spirit 
of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in 
knowledge, and in all manner of workman 
ship; 

32 And to devise 4 curious works, to work 
in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 

33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, 
and in carving of wood, to make any manner 
of cunning work. 

34 And he hath put in his heart that he 
may teach, both he, and A-ho'li-ab, the son 
of A-his'a-mach, of the tribe of Dan. 

35 Them hath he ^filled with wisdom of 
heart, to work all manner of work, of the en- 
graver, and of the r 'cunning workman, and of 
the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in 
scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, 
even of them that do any work, and of those 
that devise cunning work.

c. And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, 
Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that 
which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe, and that which 
remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. (Ex. 16:23.) 

d. And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, Speak unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, that they bring me an offering; of every man that giveth 
it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. (Ex. 25:1, 2.) 

e. Happy are thy men, and happy are these, thy servants, which 
stand continually before •thee, and hear thy wisdom. (II Chr. 9:7.) 
Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with 



perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord, and David the king 
also rejoiced with great joy. (I Chr. 29:9.) Then Solomon offered burnt 
offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built 
before the porch. (II Chr. 8:12.)

1 The offerings are delivered to the workmen. 
5 The liberality of the people is restrained. 
8 The curtains of cherubim. 14 The cur- 
tains of goats' hair. 19 The covering of 
skins. 20 The boards with their sockets. 
31 The bars. 35 The vail. 37 The hang- 
ing for the door. 

1 Then wrought Be-zal'e-el and A-ho'li-ab, 
and every -wise hearted man, in whom the 
Lord put wisdom and understanding to know 
how to work all manner of work for the serv- 
ice of the sanctuary, according to all that the 
Lord had commanded. 

2 And MS'ses called Be-zal'e-el and A-ho'- 
li-ab, and every wise hearted man, in whose 
heart the Lord had put wisdom, even every 
one whose heart stirred him up to come unto 
the work to do it: 

3 And they received of 'Mo'ses all the offer- 
ing, which the children of Is'ra-el had brought 
for the work of the service of the sanctuary, 
to make it withal. And they brought yet unto 
him free offerings every morning. 

4 And all the wise men. that wrought all 
the work of the sanctuary, came every man 
from his work which they made; 

5 *~ And they spake unto "Mo'ses, saying, 
6 The people bring much more than enough 
for the service of the work, which the Lord 
commanded to make. 

6 And 'Md'ses gave commandment, and they 
caused it to be proclaimed throughout the 
camp, saying. Let neither man nor woman 
make any more work for the offering of the 
sanctuary. So the people were restrained from 
bringing. 

7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for 
all the work to make it, and too much. 

8 f And c every wise hearted man among 
them that wrought the work of the tabernacle 
made ten curtains of fine tv'ined linen, and 
blue, and purple, and scarlet: with : cherubim 
of cunning work made he them. 

"9 The length of one curtain was twenty and 
eight 3 cubits. and the breadth of one curtain 
four cubits: the curtains were all of one size 

10 And he coupled the five curtains one 
unto another: and the other five curtains he 
coupled one unto another. 

11 And he made loops of blue on the edge 
of one curtain from the selvedge in the 
coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost 
side of another curtain, in the coupling of the 
second. 

12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and 
fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain 
which was in the coupling of the second: the 
loops held one curtain to another. 

13 And he made fifty Caches of gold, and 
coupled the curtains one unto another with 
the taches: so it became one tabernacle. 

14 r And he made curtains of goats' hair 
for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven cur- 
tains he made them. 

15 The length of one curtain was thirty cu- 
bits, and four cubits was the breadth of one 
curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size. 

16 And he coupled five curtains by them- 
selves, and six curtains by themselves. 

17 And he made fifty loops upon the utter- 
most edge of the curtain in the coupling, and

fifty loops made he upon the edge of the cur-

18 And he made fifty *taches of brass to 
couple the tent together, that it might be one. 

ly And he made a covering for the tent of 
rams" skins dyed red, and a covering of 
badgers' skins above that. 

20 * And he made boards for the tabernacle 
of shittim wood, standing up. 

21 The length of a board was ten cubits, 
and the breadth of a board one cubit and a 
half. 

22 One board had two 'tenons, equally dis- 
tant one from another: thus did he make for 
all the boards of the tabernacle. 

23 And he made boards for the tabernacle; 
twenty boards for the south side southward: 

24 And forty sockets of silver he made un- 
der the twenty boards; two sockets under one 
board for his two tenons, and two sockets un- 
der another board for his two tenons. 

25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, 
which is toward the north corner, he made 
twenty boards, 

26 And their forty sockets of silver; two 
sockets under one board, and two sockets un- 
der another board. 

2 , And for the sides of the 'tabernacle west- 
ward he made six boards. 

28 And two boards made he for the corners 
of the tabernacle in the two sides. 

29 And they were coupled beneath, and 
coupled together at the head thereof, to one 
ring: thus he did to both of them in both the 
corners. 

30 And there were eight boards; and their 
sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under 
every board two sockets. 

31 r And he made bars of shittim wood ; five 
for the boards of the one side of the 'taber- 
nacle, 

32 And five bars for the boards of the other 
side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the 
boards of the tabernacle for the sides west- 
ward. 

33 And he made the middle bar to shoot 
through the boards from the one end to the 
other. 

34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, 
and made their rings of gold to be places for 
the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. 

35 f And he made a <*vail of blue, and pur- 
ple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with 
cherubim made he it of 7 cunning work. 

36 And he made thereunto four pillars of 
shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold : 
their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them 
four sockets of silver. 

37 r And he made an hanging for the ''taber- 
nacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
fine twined linen, of needlework; 

38 And the five pillars of it with their 
hooks: and he overlaid their xhapiters and 
their fillets with gold: but their five sockets 
were of brass.

willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord: 
and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. (I Chr. 29:3. 9.) Both 
riches and honor come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in 



thine hand is power and might: and in thine hand it is to make great, 
and to give strength unto all (12). Xow therefore, our God. we thank 
thee, and praise thy glorious name (13). But who am I. and what is my 
people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for 
all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. (I Chr. 
29:12-14.1 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their 
joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality 
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they

and a cubit and a half the height of it: 

2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within 
and without, and made a crown of gold to it 
round about. 

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to 
be set by the four corners of it; even two 
rings upon the one side of it, and two rings 
upon the other side of it.

7 And he made two 4 cherubim of gold, 
beaten out of one piece made he them, on the 
two ends of the mercy seat;

another cherub on the other end on that side:

on the two ends thereof. 

9 And the "cherubim spread out their wings 
on high, and covered with their wings over 
the mercy seat, with their faces one to an-

faces of the cherubim. 

10 1 7 And he made the table of shittim

a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and 
a half the height thereof: 

11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and 
made thereunto a crown of gold round about. 

12 Also he made thereunto a border of an 
handbreadth round about; and made a crown 
of gold for the border thereof round about. 

13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, 
and put the rings upon the four corners that 
were in the four feet thereof. 

14 Over against 'the border were the rings, 
the places for the staves to bear the table. 

15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, 
and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table. 

16 And he made the vessels which were 
upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and 
his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of 
pure gold. 

17 1 'And he made the candlestick of pure 
gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick;

a. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee 
from above the mercy seat, fran between the two cherubim which are 
upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in 
commandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) And within the 
oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each 10 cubits high. (I Ks. 
6:23.) And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image 
work, and overlaid them with gold. (II Chr. 3:10.) Give ear, O Shep- 
hsrd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwell- 
est between the cherubim, shine forth. (Ps. 80:1.) Then I looked, and. 
behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim 
there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appear- 
ance of the likeness of a throne. (Ez. 10:1.) And he saith unto him, 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open and 
the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. 
(Jno. 1:51.) 

b. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down 
upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his 
garments. (Ps. 133:2.) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me: be- 
cause the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; 
he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to 
the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that- are bound. (Is. 
61:1.) But ye have an unction, from the Holy One, and ye know all 
things. (I Jno. 2:20.) 



c. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the 
lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. (Ps. 141:2.) Spikenard 
and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; 
myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices. (Sol. 4:14.) And in every 
place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering; for 
my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. 
(Mai. 1:11.) And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a 
golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense: that he 
should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar 
which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which 
came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the 
angel's hand. (Rev. 8:3, 4.) 

Chapter 38. 

a. For purpose and design of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

b. Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, 
round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty 
cubits did compass it round about. (II Chr. 4:2.) I will wash mine 
hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord. (Ps. 26:6.) 
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David 
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. (Zech. 
13:1.) Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse 
ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in 
the fear of God. (II Cor. 7:1.) Let us draw near with a true heart, iD 
full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil con- 
science, and our bodies washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.)

A-his'a-mach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver,

in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine 
linen. 

24 All the gold that was occupied for the 
work in all the work of the holy place, even 
the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine 
talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, 
after the shekel of the sanctuary. 

25 And the silver of them that were num- 
bered of the congregation was an hundred tal- 
ents, and a thousand seven hundred and three-

girdle of fa 30 The plate of the 

holy croun. 32 All is viewed and approved 
by Moses. 

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, 
they made cloths of service, to do service in 
the holy place, and made the holy garments 
for Aar'on ; as the Lord commanded Mo'ses. 

2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and 
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 

3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, 
and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, 
and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in 
the fine linen, with cunning work. 

4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple 
it together: by the two edges was it coupled 
together. 

. nd the "curious girdle of his ephod, that 
was upon it, was of the same, according to the 
work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, anl 
scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the Lord 
commanded Mo'ses. 

6 *" And they wrought onyx stones inclosed 
in "ouches of gold, graven, as signets are gra- 
ven, l with the names of the children of Is- 
ra-el. 

7 And he put them on the shoulders of the 
ephod, that they should be stones for a me- 
morial to the children of Is'ra-el; as the Lord 
commanded : M6'ses. 

8 *" And he made the 'breastplate of "'cun- 
ning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, 
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined 
linen. 

9 It was foursquare; they made the breast- 
plate double: a span was the length thereof, 
and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled. 

10 And they set in it four rows of stones: 
the first row was a 'sardius, a ^opaz, and a 
"carbuncle: this was the first row. 

11 And the second row, an T emerald, a 
'sapphire, and a "diamond. 

12 And the third row. a "ligure, an "agate 
and an ""amethyst. 

13 And the fourth row, a 1= beryl, an "onyx, 
and a "jasper: they were inclosed in : ouches 
of gold in their inclosings. 

14 And the stones were according to the 
names of the children of Is'ra-el, twelve, ac- 
cording to their names, like the engravings of 
a signet, every one with his name, according to 
the twelve tribes. 



c. And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south 
side southward there shall he hangings for the court of fine twined 
l'nen, of an hundred cubits long for one side. (Ex. 27:9.) For a day 
in thy courts is better than a thousand. (Ps. $4:10.) Those that he 
planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our 
God. (Ps. 92:13.) 

Chapter 39. 

a. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithful- 
ness the girdle of his reins. (Is. 11:5.1 Stand therefore, having your 
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteous- 
ness. (Eph. 6:14.) 

b. Behold I have graven thee upon the palms of my hand; thy 



walls are continually before me. (Is. 49:16.) To him that overcometh 
will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, 
and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth. saving he 
that receiveth it. (Rev. 2:17.) And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon 
thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord's law 
may be in thy mouth. <Ex. 13:9.) 

c. And thou shalt make the breastplate ot judgment with cunning 
work: after the work of the ephod. thou shalt make it: of gold, of blue,

15 And they made upon the breastplate 
chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure 
gold. 

16 And they made two "ouches of gold, and 
two gold rings ; and put the two. rings in the 
two ends of the breastplate. 

17 And they put the two wreathen chains 
of gold in the two rings on the ends of the 
breastplate. 

18 And the two ends of the two wreathen 
chains they fastened in the two : ouches, and 
put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, 
before it. 

19 And they made two rings of gold, and 
put them on the two ends of the breastplate, 
upon the border of it, which was on the side 
of the ephod inward. 

20 And they made two other golden rings, 
and put them on the two sides of the ephod 
underneath, toward the forepart of it, over 
against the other coupling thereof, above the 
curious girdle of the ephod. 

21 And they did bind the breastplate by his 
rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace 
of blue, that it might be above the curious 
girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate 
might not be loosed from the ephod; as the 
Lord commanded 3 Mo'se§. 

22 1 And he made the robe of the ephod of 
woven work, all of blue. 

23 And there was an hole in the midst of 
the robe, as the hole of an 16 habergeon, with 
a band round about the hole, that it should not 
rend. 

24 And they made upon the hems of the 
robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and 
scarlet, and twined linen. 

25 And they made bells of pure gold, and 
put the bells between the pomegranates upon 
the hem of the robe, round about between the 
pomegranates ; 

26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a 
pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe 
to minister in ; as 'the Lord commanded Mo'ses. 

27 % And they made coats of fine linen of 
woven work for Aar'on, and for his sons, 

28 And a "mitre of fine linen, and goodly 
bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of 
fine twined linen, 

29 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and 
blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; 
as the Lord commanded Mo'ses. 

30 II And they made the plate of the holy 
crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a wri- 
ting, like to the engravings of a signet, d HOLI- 
NESS TO THE LORD.

fasten it on high upon the 1T mitre; as the Lord

CHAPTER 40. 

1 The tabernacle is commanded to be reared, 
9 and anointed. 13 Aaron and his sons to 
be sanctified. 16 Moses performeth all 
things accordingly. 34 A cloud covereth the 
tabernacle. 

1 And the Lord spake unto 'Mo'se?, saying, 

2 On the first day of the first month shalt 
thou set up the 2 tabernacle of the tent of the 
congregation. 

3 And thou shalt put therein the 3 ark of the 
testimony, and cover the ark with the vail. 

4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set 
in order the things that are to be set in order 
upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candle- 
stick, and light the lamps thereof. 

5 And thou shalt set the a altar of gold for 
the incense before the ark of the testimony, 
and put the hanging of the door to the taber- 
nacle. 

6 And thou shalt set the altar of the 6 burnt 
offering before the door of the tabernacle of 
the tent of the congregation. 

7 And thou shalt set the 4 laver between the 
tent of the congregation . and the altar, and 
shalt put water therein. 

8 And thou shalt set up the court round 
about, and hang up the hanging at the court 
gate. 

9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and 
anoint the "tabernacle, and all that is therein, 
and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: 
and it shall be holy. 

10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the 
f 'burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanc- 
tify the altar: and it shall be an altar most 
holy. 

11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his 
foot, and sanctify it. 

12 And thou shalt bring 5 Aar'on and his 
sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and wash them with water. 

13 And thou shalt put upon Aar'on the holy 



d. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house. 
O Lord, for ever. (Ps. 93:5.) And her merchandise and her hire shall 
be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her 
merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat 
sufficiently and for durable clothing. (Is. 23:18.) In that day shall 
there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD, 
and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the 
altar. (Zech. 14:20.) 

e. Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine 
service, and a worldly sanctuary (1). For there was a tabernacle 
made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the 
showbread; which is called the Sanctuary (2). And after the second 
vail, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all (3). Which had 



the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about 
with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's 
rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant (4). And over it the 
cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy seat. (Heb. 9:1-5.) 
Chapter 40. 

a. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, 
which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear 
in the presence of God for us. (Heb. 9:24.) Having therefore, brethren, 
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus (19). Let us draw 
near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts 
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure 
water. (Heb. 10:19, 22.)

garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; 
that he may minister unto me in the priest's 
office. 

14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe 
them with coats: 

15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst 
anoint their father, that they may minister 
unto me in the priest's office: for their anoint- 
ing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood 
throughout their generations. 

16 Thus did Mo'ses: according to all that 
the Lord commanded him, so did he. 

17 11 And it came to pass in the first month 
in the second year, on the first day of the 
month, that the "tabernacle was reared up. 

18 And 'Mo'ses. reared up the tabernacle, 
and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards 
thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared 
up his pillars. 

19 And he spread abroad the tent over the 
tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent 
above upon it; as the Lord commanded Mo'- 
se§. 

20 If And he took and put the testimony into 
the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put 
the mercy seat above upon the ark: 

21 And he brought the ark into the taber- 
nacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and 
covered the ark of the testimony; as the Lord 
commanded Mo'§es. 

22 If And he put the table in the tent of the 
congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle 
northward, without the vail. 

23 And he set the bread in order upon it 
before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded 
Mo'se§. 

24 it And he put the candlestick in the tent 
of the congregation, over against the table, on 
the side of the tabernacle southward. 

25 And he lighted the lamps before the 
Lord; as the Lord commanded Mo'ses. 



0. The lahles of the law. or the 
commandments. 



7. The pillar of cloud by day and 
fire by night rested over th.- taber- 
nacle, and when it moved from over 
the tabernacle It was a signal to the 
people that they should get ready for 
march: but as long as it remained 
stationary, they were to remain in 
camp, whether a day or six months. 



26 * And he put the golden altar in the tent 
of the congregation before the vail: 

27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon ; a.-; 
the Lord commanded Mo'ses. 

28 ' And he set up the hanging at the door 
of the tabernacle. 

29 And he put the altar of burnt ^offering 
by the door of the tabernacle of the tent. oJ 
the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt 
offering and the meat offering; as the Lord 
commanded M6'se§. 

30 r And he set the 'laver between the tent 
of the congregation and the altar, and put 
water there, to wash withal. 

31 And Mo'ses and 'Aaron and his sons 
washed their hands and their feet thereat: 

32 When they went into the tent of the con- 
gregation, and when they came near unto the 
altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded 
Mo'ses. 

33 And he reared up the court round about 
the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the 
hanging of the court gate. So 'Mo'ses fin- 
ished the work. 

34 r Then a c cloud covered the tent of the 
congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled 
the ^tabernacle. 

35 And Mo'ses was not r able to enter into 
the tent of the congregation, because the cloud 
abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled 
the tabernacle. 

36 And when the ''cloud was taken up from 
over the tabernacle, the children of Is'ra-el 
went onward in all their journeys: 

37 But if the cloud r were not taken up, then 
they journeyed not till the day that it was 
taken up. 

38 For the cloud r of the Lord was upon the 
tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, 
in the sight of all the house of Is'ra-el, 
throughout all their journeys. 



c. And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, 
that he come not at all times into the hoiy place within the vail before 
the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear 
in a cloud upon the mercy seat. (Lev. 1G:2.) And the posts of the door 
moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with 
smoke. (Is. 6:4.) And the temple was filled -with smoke from the glory 
of God, and from his power. (Rev. 15:8.) So that the priests could not 



stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had 
filled the house of the Lord. (I Ks. 8:11.) In the daytime also he led 
them with a cloud, and all the night with 1 light of fire. (Ps. 78:14.) 
And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up. the cloud covered 
the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony; and at even there was 
upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire until the morn- 
ing. (Num. 9:15. J 



THE THIRD BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED 

LEVITICUS 



NOTE.— Leviticus, the third book of the Pentateuch, was called by the Jews, Vayikra, from the initial word, meaning "and he called out,' but since 
the Seventy translated it into Greek, it has been known in all European languages by the name of Leviticus, from the prominent part in the sacrificial rites 
performed by the tribe of Levi. The Talmud calls it the Law of Priests and also the Book of the Law of Offerings. It is the title page or preface of that minute 
and comprehensive system of offerings and sacrifices which Jehovah devised for the spiritual culture of the Hebrews and for prefiguring "Jesus, the Mediator of 
the New Covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." 

In the true sense of history, it is historical only in that portion relating to the consecration of Aaron and his sons, their first offering of sacrifice, tne 
judicial death of Aaron's two elder sons, Nadab and Abihu (ch. 10:1-7), and the irrest and execution of the blasphemer (eh. 24:10-23). Leviticus largely 
contains the further statements and developments of the Sinaitic legislation, the beginnings of which are described in Exodus, and exhibits the historical progress 

The book also is partly of a prophetical character, as the law giver represents to himself the future history of his people. The prophetical character is 
especially manifested in ehs. 25, 2G, where the law appears in a truly sublime and divine attitude, and when its predictions refer to the wholefutunty of a nation. 




Previous to the accounts recorded by these books the complete character or holiness of God which forms the bright background on which the deformities of 
must be portraved had not been fully and emphatically disclosed. To the early patriarchs God always reveals the kind, gracious and merciful side of his nature. 
He talks with Abraham as a friend," putting him quite at ease in his presence; while Sarah laughs with incredulity when hearing the words of promise from the 

With the patriarchs there is no inspiration of painful awe, no putting off the sandals to tread upon hallowed ground sanctified by the tread of the most 
holy Jehovah In the record of patriarchal life throughout the book of Genesis we look in vain for the words "holy" and "holiness" as descriptive of the char- 
acter of Jehovah From Adam to Moses there is no specific declaration or revelation of the holiness of the Supreme One. The hour had not arrived for the revela- 
tion of this attribute till the exiled Moses turned aside from his flock at Mt. Hoieb to see the bush burning yet not consumed (Ex. 3:3). and to hear the sudden 
and awful words "Draw not hither. I am holv." which gave to the world a new aspect of the nature and character of Jehovah, that from this hour was to he 
unfolded with ever increasing splendor throughout the records in Exodus and Leviticus. And now, for the first time since the fall of Adam, sin — through con- 
trast has received its proper measure and is seen as "exceeding sinful" and needs to be purged from the conscience by blood distinctly expiatory. Hence the 

offerings and sacrifices given to the Hebrew children in Leviticus. Leviticus, thus resolved into its component parts, becomes a great witness to the Christian 
doctrine of evolution. As herein recorded, under the inspiration and prompting of the spirit of God the laws for conduct and worship were shaped and modified, 
their form largely depending on historical circumstances. Side by side with the prophetic the priestly view of religion was needed. Jehovah was Israel's God; 
his righteousness 'and his holiness were now the phases of his character held to view and the law of holiness is given to the people. 

The Mosaic autho ship of Leviticus has been less questioned by modern critics than any other book of the law. The space of time covered is about one 
month Compare Ex 40-17 with Num. 1:1. Leviticus is readily divided into four parts: (1) The law of sacrifice (chs. 1-7), (2) the consecration of the priest- 
hood (chs S-iO) (3) the law of clean and unclean, with appendix on the day of atonement (chs. 11-16), (4) the law of holiness, with appendix (chs. 17-27). 
The central idea of the book — its spiritual meaning — is a prophecy of things to come, a shadow whereof the substance was Christ and his kingdom. The 
whole svstem breathes of heavenlv mysteries. We cannot read the Epistle to the Hebrews without acknowledging that the Levitical priests served the type and 
pattern'of heavenly things, that the sacrifices of the law pointed to and found their interpretation in the Lamb of God and in everything set forth the new 
attribute of Jehovah which had just been revealed, the holiness of Jehovah. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 The burnt offerings. 3 Of the herd, 10 of 
the flocks, 14 of the fowls. 

1 And the 'Lord 2 called a unto 3 M5'§e§, and 
spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the 
congregation, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, and 
say unto them, If any man of you bring an 
offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your 
offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and 
of the flock. 

3 If his offering be a 'burnt sacrifice of the 
herd, let him offer a '"male hvithout blemish: 
he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at 
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation 
before the Lord. 



Ch. 1, B, C. 1490. 

NOTE. — Chs. 1-7 are legislative in 
character and form the ritual of the 
altar; the chosen people having re- 
ceived the decalogue at the foot of 
Sinai, where, amidst the display of 
all that is terrific in the elements, 
they received two revelations — the 
holiness of Jehovah and the expres- 
sion of his will — the purpose of both 
being that the divine purity, as a mir- 
ror, reflect the awfulness of sin 
wherein man may discover his moral 
defilements and the race be sanctified 
and elevated. 

The imperative demand of the hour 
for that gieat host is a means of 
atonement for their sins which the 
great lawgiver now prepares. 

1. The Hebrew word for Lord is 
Jehovah, a name which has very re- 
cently been disclosed in all its full- 
ness to the Hebrew children and 
which means the holy, covenant- 
making, self-existing, eternal God. 



4 And he "shall put his hand upon the head 
of the burnt offering; and it shall be ^accepted 
for him to e make "atonement for him. 

5 And he shall kill the ^bullock before the 
Lord: and the priests, "Aar'on's sons, shall 
bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round 
about upon the altar that is by the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation. 

6 And he shall 7 flay the burnt offering, and 
cut it into his pieces. 

7 And the sons of Aar'on the priest shall 
put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in 
order upon the fire. 

8 And the priests, Aar'on's sons, shall 10 lay 
the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon 
the wood that is on the fire which is upon the 
altar : 



2. Called as if with an audible 
voice. This is the sixth and last 
time this word is used in Hebrew to 
indicate the method of communicat- 
ing the divine will to Moses. 

3. For historical account of Moses, 
see Ex., ch. 2, note 1. 

4." The burnt sacrifice symbolizes 
the devotement of the entire man to 
the services of God. As fire puri- 
fies what it does not consume, it 



typifies the sanctifier. consuming in- 
ward sin and cleansing the indestruc- 
tible essence of the soul. 

5. All animals are spoken of as 
defective, when blind, broken, 
maimed, scabbed, having wens or 
scurvy, parts lacking or superfluous; 
also the castrated, spoken of as cut, 
crushed, bruised or broken. An ani- 
mal was also considered an imperfect 
offering if under eight days old (Ex. 



22:30). "Seven days it shall be with 
his dam: on the eighth day thou shalt 
give it me." This lesson constantly 
taught moi'ning and evening to the 
people the sinlessness of Jesus Christ, 
"the Lamb without blemish and with- 
out spot." 

6. The Hebrew primarily signifies 
to cover up, to conceal, hence to ex- 
piate, to forgive. The word atone- 
ment occms only once in the New 



Testament (Rom. 5:11) and there sig- 
nifies a reconciliation in our relations 
with God, but in the Old Testament 
it signifies expiation. 

7. Skin. 

8. The Biblical term used for the 
perfect son of a bull. 

9. Designated (Ex. 29). but not 
yet consecrated (Lev. ch. 8). 

10. The victim was cut in pieces 
to facilitate the burning.

of the mountain, saying, Thus shait thou say to the house of Jacob, and 
tell the children of Israel. (Ex. 19:3.)

should be holy and without blemish. (Eph. 5:27.) Ye shall offer at 
your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or 
of the goats (19). But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not 
offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you (20). And whosoever 
offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord to accomplish his 
vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to 
be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein (21). Blind, or broken, 
or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer 
these unto the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the 
altar unto the Lord (22). Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any 
thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a 
freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted (23). Ye shall 
not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or

Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God 
of any of these; because their corruption is in them and blemishes be 
in them: they shall not be accepted for you. (Lev. 22:19-25.) 

c. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we 
did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Isaiah 53:4.) 

d. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them 
joyful in my house of prayer;' their burnt offerings and their sacrifices 
shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an 
house of prayer for all pecple. (Isaiah 56:7-) 



e. And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for 
a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an 
atonement for them and it shall be forgiven them. (Lev. 4:20.) And 
the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the 
children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance. 
(Num. 15:25.) And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt 
offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 
(Lev. 1:4.). When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through 
ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord, his God, con- 
cerning things which should not be done, and is guilty (22). Or if his 
sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge, he shall bring his 
offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish (23). And if any 
one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth some- 
what against any of the commandments of the Lord, concerning things 
which ought not to be done, and be guilty (27); Or, if his sin, which 
he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, 
a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath 
sinned (28). And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin 
offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering (2D). 
And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it 
upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shail pour out all 
the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar (30). And he shall take 
away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from all the sacrifice of 
peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet 
savor unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, 
and it shall be forgiven him. (Lev. 4:22, 23, 27-31.) And the priest shall 
make an atonement for him before the Lord; and it shall be forgiven him 
for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein. (Lev. 6:7.) 
The anti-type Jesus Christ having come in the new dispensation to 
make atonement for man, the type of the old dispensation has been done 
away with — For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed 
for many for the remission of sin. (Math. 26:28.) Who was delivered

Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver 
us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our 
Father. (Gal. 1:3. 4.) Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us. and 
hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God »for a sweet 
smelling savour. (Eph. 5:2.) 

f. And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his 
heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake: for 
the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I 
again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. (Gen. 8:21.) 
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, 
and in them that perish. (II Cor. 2:15.) 

g. And if he be not able to bring a lamb then he shall bring for 
his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtle doves, or two young 
pigeons, unto the Lord; one for a sin offering and the other for a

which is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves or two 
young pigeons. (Luke 2:24.)

midst, and laid each piece one against another, but the birds divided

shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. 
(Num. 1S:9.) 

d. It shall not be baken wifli leaven. I have given it unto them 
for their portion of my offerings made by fire: it is most holy, as is 
the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. (Lev. 6:17.) Then under- 
stood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, 
but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Saddueees. (Math. 16:12.) 
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the 
Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. (Mk. 8:15.1 Therefore let us 
keep up the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice 
and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 
(I Cor. 5:S.) A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. (Gal. 5:9.) 

e. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be 
salted with salt. (Mk. 9:49.) Let your speech be alway with grace, 
seasoned with salt, that ve may know how ve ought to answer every 
man. (Col. 4:6.) 

f. All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of 
Israel offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy 
daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for 
ever before the Lord unto thee and to thy seed with thee. (Num. 
18:19.) Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the king- 
dom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a 
covenant of salt? (II Chr. 13:5.) 

g. The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the

NOTE. — The burnt offering, meat 
offering and peace offering are known 
as traditional, inasmuch as they are 
supposed to have been the practices 
of the people before the giving of the 
law of the priesthood. Ch. 4 intro- 
duces two offerings created by the 
law, viz., a sin offering and a trespass 
offering. They are introduced and 
their nature explained as though they 
were entirely unknown previous to 
this time. Simultaneous with the an- 
nouncement that all errors and inad-

2 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, saying, 
If a 3 soul "shall sin through 'ignorance against 
any of the commandments of the Lord con- 
cerning things which ought not to be done, 
and shall do against any of them: 

3 D If the priest that is anointed do sin ac- 
cording to the sin of the people; then let him 
"bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a 
h young bullock without c blemish unto the x Lord 
for a sin offering. 

4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the 
door of the tabernacle of the congregation be- 
fore the 'Lord; and shall lay his hand upon 
the bullock's head, and kill the bullock . before 
the 'Lord. 

5 And the priest that is anointed shall take 
of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tab- 
ernacle of the congregation : 

6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the 
blood, and sprinkle of the blood 7 seven times

a. And whosoever offereth the sacrifice of peace offerings unto the 
Lord to accemplish his vow, or a free-will offering in beeves or sheep, 
it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. 
(Lev. 22:21.)

c. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet 
we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Is. 53:4.) 
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that 
look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 
(Heb. 9:28.) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the 
tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by 
whose stripes ye were healed. (I Pet. 2:24.) 

d. See f, ch. 1. 

e. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves 
from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane 
not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me; I am 
the Lord. (Lev. 22:25.) Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and 
ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? in that we say, The table of 

.the Lord is contemptible (7). But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, 
The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, 
is contemptible. (Mai. 1:7, 12.) 

f. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall 
ye not eat. (Gen. 9:4.) For meat destroy not the work of God. All 
things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with 
offence (20). And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth 



not of faith; for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (Rom. 14:20, 23.) 
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life; and 
thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. (Dt. 12:23.) But that we 
write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from 
fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. (Acts 15:20.)

a. Day unto dav uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth 
knowledge. (Ps. 19:2.) 

b. And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin of- 
fering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them 
before the Lord. (Lev. 9:2.) And this is a thing that thou shalt do unto 
them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take 
one young bullock, and two rams without blemish. (Ex. 29:1.) 

c. See b, ch. 1. 

d. The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will 
magnify the law, and make it honorable. (Is. 42:21.) To wit, that God 
was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their 
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of recon- 
ciliation. (II Cor. 5:19.) And they sung a new song, saying. Thou art 
worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast 
slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, 
and tongue, and people, and nation. (Rev. 5:9.) 

e. And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the 
side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the 
bottom of the altar; it is a sin offering. (Lev. 5:9.) 

f. But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt 
thou burn with fire without the camp. It is a sin offering. (Ex. 29:14.)

CHAPTER 5. 

1 He that sinneth in concealing his knowledge, 
2 in touching an unclean thing, 4 or in 
making an oath. 6 His trespass offering, of 
the flock, 7 of fowls, 11 or of flour. 14 
The trespass offering in sacrilege, 17 and in 
sins of ignorance. 

1 And if a soul sin, and 'hear the voice of 
swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath 
seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, 
then he shall a bear his "iniquity. 

2 Or if a "soul touch any unclean thing, 
whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or 
a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of 
unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden 
from him; he also shall be ^unclean, and guilty. 

3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, 
whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall 
be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; 
when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty. 

4 Or if a 3 soul "swear, pronouncing with his 
lips to do 6 evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be 



g. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering: 
and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. (Lev. 1:4.) 

h. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood 
he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal re- 
demption for us (12). For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the 
ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying 
cf the flesh (13): How much more shall the blood of Christ, who 
through the eternal Spirit, offered himself without spot to God, purge 
your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. (Heb. 9:12-14.) 

i. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be 
saved from wrath through him (9). For if when we were enemies, we 
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being 
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life (10). And not only so, but we 
also jov in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now 
received the atonement. (Rom. 5:9-11.) "Wherefore in all things it be- 
hooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a 
merciful and faithful high priest, in things pertaining to God. to make 
reconciliation for the sins of the people. (Heb. 2:17.) For the law 
having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the 
things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year 
continually make the comers thereunto perfect (1). And every priest 
standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices 
which can never take away sins. But this man, after he had offered 
one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. 



(Heb. 10:1, 11. 12.) And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for 
ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (I Jno. 2:2.) Who 
needeth not daily, as those high priests, to otter up sacrifice, first for his 
own sins, and then for the people's; for this he did once when he offered 
up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have in- 
firmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law. maketh 
the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. (Heb. 7:27, 28.) In whom 
we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according 
to the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear 
his iniquity. (Lev. 17:16.) Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear 
his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: 
and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Lev. 19:8.) But 
the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep 
the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: 
because he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed season, 
that man shall bear his sin. (Num. 9:13.) 

b. And I will come near to you to judgment: and I will be a 
swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and 
against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in 
his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the 
stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.

that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and 
it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, 
then he shall be guilty in one of these. 

5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty 
in one of these things, that he shall ^confess 
that he hath sinned in that thing: 

6 And he shall bring his "trespass offering 
unto the Lord for his sin which he hath sinned, 
a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the 
goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall 
make a an atonement for him concerning his 
sin. 

7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, 
then he shall bring for his trespass, which he 
hath committed, tivo turtledoves, or two young 
pigeons, unto the Lord: 'one for a sin offering, 
and the 'other for a burnt offering. 

8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, 
who shall offer that which is for the sin offer- 
ing T first, and Svring off his head from his 
neck, but shall not divide it asunder: 

9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the 
sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the 
rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the 
bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering. 

10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt 
offering, according to the manner: and the 
priest shall make an ^atonement d for him for 
his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be 
forgiven him. 

11 f But if he be not able to bring two tur- 
tledoves, or Uvo young pigeons, then he that 
sinned shall bring for his offering the '"'tenth 
part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offer- 
ing; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall 
he put any frankincense thereon 11 : for it is a 
sin offering. 

12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and 
the priest shall take his handful of it, even a 
memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, ac- 
cording to the offerings made by fire unto the 
IJ Lord: it is a sin-offering. 

13 And the priest phall make an a atonement d 
for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned 
in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: 
and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a 
i:i meat offering. 

14 H And the "Lord spake unto M6'§e§, say- 
ing, 

15 If a soul "commit a trespass, and sin 
through ignorance, in the "holy things of the 
,J Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass 
unto the r ~Lord a ram without e blemish out of 
the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of 
silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a 
trespass offering: 

16 And he shall make amends for the harm 
that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall 
add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the 
priest: and the priest shall make d an atone- 
ment for him with the ram of the "trespass 
offering, and it shall be forgiven him. 

17 11 And if a soul sin, and commit any of 
these things which are forbidden to be done 
by the commandments of the Lord; though he 



6. Trespass offering and sin offer- 
ing are closely allied, the sin offering 
typifying expiation and the trespass 
offering obedience or satisfaction. As 
every mortal offense is both a sin and 
a trespass, both offerings may be 
made for the same offense. 

7. Bringing the sinner into recon- 
ciliation with God. 

8. To pinch off with finger nail. 

9. An expiation for, a covering up. 

10. Three quarts. 

11. The putting thereon of oil or 
frankincense would make a bread of- 
fering, which symbolizes acceptance, 
and the sinner must secure pardon be- 
fore he offers the praises of aceept- 



12. Jehovah. 

13. Meal or food offering.

Hebrew word, to act treacherously, or 
faithless, is found in the Bible, which 
indicates another step in Jehovah's 
broadening the teachings of his peo- 
ple.

Ch. 6. B. C. 1490. 

NOTE. — The first seven verses of 
ch. 6 should form the concluding 
verses of ch. 5. as they are a con- 
tinuation ot the trespass offering and 
allow no break in the thought. Con- 
forming to this idea, the Hebrew Bi- 
ble makes ch. 5 end with the 7th 
verse of ch. 6 in the authorized ver- 
sion. The reader, therefore, should 
make the same connection and not al- 
low a break in the thought which a 
chapter introduces.

presented. 

7. The offering of reconciliation.

the priests and for the individual wor- 
shipers were given in ch. 1. the fol- 
lowing rules are for the guidance of

and evening sacrifice.

appertaining to the priests. They 
form what might be called the 
priest's sacrifice or altar book, in 
which his duties are carefully speci- 
fied. 



Twist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear 
his iniquity. 

18 And he shall bring a ram without blem- 
ish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for 
a "trespass offering, unto the priest: and the 
priest shall make d an atonement for him con- 
cerning his ignorance wherein he erred and 
fwist it not, and it shall be forgiven him. 

19 It is a 'trespass ^offering: he hath cer- 
tainly trespassed against the Lord.

1 The trespass offering for sins done wittingly. 
8 The law of the burnt offering, 14 and of 
the meat offering. 19 The offering at the 
consecration of a priest. 24 The law of the 
sin offering. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§, saying, 

2 If a 3 soul sin, and ^commit a trespass 
against the Lord, and "lie unto his neighbour 
in that which was 5 delivered him to keep, or in 
fellowship, or in a thing taken away by vio- 
lence, or hath deceived his neighbour; 

3 Or have found that which was lost, and 
lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in 
any of all these that a man doeth, sinning 
therein : 

4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, 
and is guilty, that he shall restore that which 
he took violently away, or the thing which he 
hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was de- 
livered him to keep, or the lost thing which he 
found, 

5 Or all that about which he hath a sworn 
falsely; he shall even ''restore it in the princi- 
pal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, 
and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, 
'in the day of his trespass offering. 

6 And he shall bring his trespass offering 
unto the 1 Lord, a ram without blemish out of 
the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass 
'offering, unto the priest: 

7 *And the priest shall make c an atonement 
for him before the 1 Lord: and it shall be for- 
given him for any thing of all that he hath 
done in trespassing therein. 

8 10 And the Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§, saying, 

9 Command Aar'on and his sons, saying, 
This is the law d of the burnt offering: It is 
the "burnt offering, because of the burning 
upon the altar all night unto the morning, and 
the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. 

10 And the priest shall put on his linen gar- 
ment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon 
his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire 
hath consumed with the burnt offering on the 
altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 

11 And he shall put off his garments, and 
put on other garments, and carry forth the 
ashes without the camp unto a clean place. 

12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burn- 
ing in it; it shall not be put out: and the 
priest shall burn wood on it every morning, 
and lay the "burnt ^offering in order upon it; 
and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace 
offerings. 



and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither 
eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. (Acts 23:12.) And he sware 
unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto 
the half of my kingdom. (Mk. 6:23.) 

c. They shall confess their sin which they have done; and he 
shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof and add 
unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he 
hath trespassed. (Num. 5:7.) Now therefore make confession unto the 
Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves 
from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. (Ezra. 10:11.)

f. "Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret 
faults. (Ps. 19:12.) But he that knew not, and did things worthy of 
stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much 
is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have com- 
mitted much of him they will ask the more. (Lu. 12:48.) 

g. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him ; he hath put him to 
grief; when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see 
his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall 
prosper in his hand. (Is. 53:10.) For there is one God, and one 
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (5). Who gave 



himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (I Tim. 2:5, 6.) 
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very 
image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offer, 
year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (Heb. 
10:1.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his 
tongue is mischief and vanity. (Ps. 10:7.) Let the lying lips be put to 
silence; which speak grievous things proadly and contemptuously 
against the righteous. (Ps. 31:18.) But the king shall rejoice in God; 
every one that sweareth by him shall glory; but the mouth of them 
that speak lies shall be stopped. (Ps. 63:11.) Lie not one to another, 
seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds. (Col. 3:9.) Ye 
shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. (Lev. 
19:11.) 

b. And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, 
and because he had no pity. (II Sam. 12:6.) And Zacchsus stood, and 
said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the 
poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, 
I restore him fourfold. (Lu. 19:8.)

8 And the Spriest that offereth any man'? 
Tjumt offering, even the priest shall have to 
himself the skin of the burnt offering which he 
hath offered. 

9 And all the 7 meat offering that is baken 
in the oven and all that is dressed in the fry- 
ingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's 
that offereth it. 

10 And every meat "offering, mingled with 
oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aar'on have, 
one as much as another. 

11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of 
'peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the 
'Lord. 

12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he 
shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving 
unleavened cakes mingled with oil. and unleav- 
ened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes 
mingled with oil. of fine flour, fried. 

13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his 
offering 'leavened bread with the sacrifice of 
thanksgiving of his peace offerings. 

14 And of it he shall offer one out of the 
whole oblation for an "heave offering unto the 
Lord, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth 
the blood of the "peace offerings. 

15 And the flesh of the 'sacrifice of his 
peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten 
the same day that it is offered; he shall not 
: Teave any of it until the morning. 

16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a 
vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten 
the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: 
: 'and on the morrow also the remainder of it 
shall be eaten : 

17 But the remainder of the flesh of the 
sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with 
fire. 

18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice 
of his peace ^offerings be eaten at all on the 
third day, it shall not "be accepted, neither 
shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: 
it shall be an abomination, and the soul that 
eateth of it shall bear his iniquity. 

19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean 
thing shall not be eaten ; it shall be burnt with 
fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean 
shall eat thereof. 

20 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of 
the sacrifice of peace 'offerings, that pertain 
unto the 4 Lord, having his uncleanness upon 
him, even that soul shall be cut off from his 
people. 

21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any 
unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or 
any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean 
thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of 
peace ^offerings, which pertain unto the 4 Lord. 
even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 

22 r And the ; Lord spake unto Mo'ses, say- 
ing, 

23 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, say- 



e. And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon 
the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the Lord. It is 
an offering made by fire unto the Lord (Ex. 29:25. i Even as the Son 
of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give 
his life a ransom for many. (Math. 2' 28.)

ing, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of 
sheep, or of goat. 

24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of 
itself, and the fat of that which is torn with 
beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye 
shall in no wise eat of it. 

25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, 
of which men offer an offering made by fire 
unto the 4 Lord, even the soul that eatheth it 
shall be cut off from his people. 

26 Moreover ye shall 'eat no manner of 
blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in 
any of your dwellings. 

27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any 
r manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut 
off from his people. 

28 H And the 4 Lord spake unto Mo'§es, say- 
ing, 

29 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, say- 
ing, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace 
'"'offerings unto the 'Lord shall bring his obla- 
tion unto the 4 Lord of the sacrifice of his peace 
offerings. 

30 His own hands shall bring the offering:: 
of the 4 Lord made by fire, the fat with the 
breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may 
be waved for a wave "offering before the 
'Lord. 

31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon 
the altar: but the breast shall be Aar'on's and 
his sons'. 

32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto 
the priest for an "heave offering of the sacri- 
fices of your peace offerings. 

33 He among the sons of Aar'on, that offer- 
eth the blood of the peace 'offerings, and the 
fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part. 

34 For the wave breast and the heave shoul- 
der have I taken of the children of Is'ra-el 
from off the sacrifices of their peace ''offerings, 
and have given them unto Aar'on the priest 
and unto his sons by a statute for ever from 
among the children, of Is'ra-el. 

35 *f "This is the portion of the anointing of 
Aar'on, and of the anointing of his sons, out 
of the offerings of the 4 Lord made by fire, in 
the day when he presented them to minister 
unto the 4 Lord in the priest's office; 

36 Which the 4 Lord commanded to be given 
them of the children of Is'ra-el, in the day that 
he anointed them, by a statute ''for ever 
throughout their generations. 

37 This is the law of the 6 burnt Offering, of 
the meat offering, and of the sin "offering, and 
of the "trespass "offering, and of the consecra- 
tions, and of the sacrifice of the peace ''offer- 
ings; 

38 Which the 4 Lord commanded Mo'§es in 
mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded 
the children of is'ra-el to offer their oblations 
unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Si'nai. 

CHAPTER 8. 

1 Moses consecrateth Aaron and his sons. 14 
Their sin offering. 18 Their burnt offering. 
22 The ram of consecrations. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto Mo'§e§, saying, 

2 Take Aar'on and his sons with him, and 
the garments, and the anoi.iting oil, and a bul- 
lock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a 
basket of unleavened bread ; 

3 And gather thou all the congregation to- 
gether unto the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation. 



15. The offering is placed upon the 
hands of the worshiper, the priest 
putting his hands beneath, mov- 
ing the offering to and fro horizontal- 
ly. The rabbis say that it symbolical- 
ly teaches that Jehovah is present in 
every quarter of the globe.

NOTE. — Jehovah having taken up 
his residence among his people, in- 
vites them to draw near to him by 
the appointed sacrifices. Minute and 
elaborate mles were given whereby 
the sacrifices should be made. This 
required a ritual so extensive that a 
new institution of a professional or- 
der became necessary. Therefore in 
ch. S we have the consecration of the 
Aaronic priesthood. 



Jehovah. 



2. Tic dividing-stones in the 

breastplate .of the high priest through 
which was supposed to be revealed 
the divine will. This method was al- 
lowed by Jehovah because of the 
idolatrous divinations which the chil- 
dren of Israel had brought with them 
from Egypt, and, as they must learn 
slowly. Jehovah adapts the require- 
ments to their capacity. They were 
merely a contrivance for casting lets. 



3. A turban or special head-cover'

tion, thus indicating the perfect con- 
secration of Aaron. 



5. To set him apart; to dedicate 
him to the service of Jehovah. 



6. An expiation fi r sins committed 
whether through intention or Ignor- 
ance.

4 And Mo'ses did as the 'Lord commanded 
him; and the assembly was gathered together 
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation. 

5 And Mo'se§ said unto the congregation, 
This is the thing which the 'Lord commanded 
to be done. 

6 And Mo'§es brought Aar'on and his sons, 
and "washed them with water. 

7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded 
him with the girdle, and clothed him with the 
robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he 
girded him with the curious girdle of the 
ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. 

8 And he ''put the breastplate upon him: 
also he put in the breastplate the 2 U'rim and 
the Thum'mim. 

9 And he put the 3 mitre upon his head; also 
upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he 
put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the 
Lord commanded Mo'ses. 

10 And M6'§es took the anointing oil, and 
anointed the tabernacle and all that was there- 
in, and sanctified them. 

11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar 
seven 4 times, and anointed the altar and all 
his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to 
sanctify them. 

12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon 
Aar'on's head, and anointed him, to 5 sanctify 
him. 

13 And Mo'§e§ brought Aar'on's sons, and 
put coats upon them, and girded them with 
girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the 
'Lord commanded Mo'§e§. 

14 And he brought the bullock for the sin 
'offering: and Aar'on and his sons laid their 
hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin 
offering. 

15 And he slew it; and Mo'se§ took the 
blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar 
round about with his finger, and purified the 
altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of 
the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconcilia- 
tion upon it. 

16 And he took all the fat that was upon 
the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and 
the two kidneys, and their fat, and M5'§e§ 
burned it upon the altar. 

17 But the bullock and his hide, his flesh, 
and his dung, he burnt with fire without the 
camp; as the Lord commanded M5'se§. 

18 If And he brought the ram for the 7 burnt 
""offering: and Aar'on and his sons laid their 
hands upon the head of the ram. 

19 And he killed it; and M5'§e§ sprinkled 
the blood upon the altar round about. 

20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and 
Mo'§es burnt the head, and the pieces, and the 
fat. 

21 And he washed the inwards and the legs 
in water; and M6'§e§ burnt the whole ram upon 
the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet 
savour, and an offering made by fire unto, the 
'Lord; as the Lord commanded Mo'§es. 

22 If And he brought the other ram, the ram 
of consecration : and Aar'on and his sons laid 
their hands upon the head of the ram. 

23 And he slew it; and M5'§e§ took of the 
blood of it, and put it upon the s tip ,J of Aar'on's 
right ear, and upon the s thumb of his right 
hand, and upon the great s toe of his right foot. 

24 And he brought Aar'on's sons, and M5'- 



c. But flesh with life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye 
not eat. (Gen. 9:4.) 

d. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not 
the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they 
offer year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect (1). 
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat 
down on the right hand of God. (Heb. 10:1, 12.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass thine 
altar. O Lord. (Ps. 26:6.) Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, 
touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that 
bear the vessels of the Lord. (Is. 52:11.) Then will I sprinkle clean 



water upon you, and ye shall be clean; from all your filthiness, and 
from all your idols, will I cleanse you. (Ez=k. 36:25.) 

b. And thou shalt put in the breastplate of Judgment the Urim and 
the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth 
in before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children 
of Israel upon his heart, before the Lord continually. (Ex. 28:30.) 

5. For purpose and design of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

d. I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that 
ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, 
which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) For ye are bought with 
a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which 
are God's. (I Cor. 6:20.)

ses put of the blood upon the tip of their right 
ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, 
and upon the great toes of their right feet: 
and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar 
round about. 

25 And he took the fat, and the "rump, and 
all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the 
caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and 
their fat, and the right shoulder: 

26 And out of the basket of unleavened 
bread, that was before the 'Lord, he took one 
unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and 
one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon 
the right shoulder: 

27 And he put all upon Aar'on's hands, and 
upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a 
wave '"offering before the Lord. 

28 And Mo'ses took them from off their 
hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the 
f burnt Offering: they were consecrations for a 
r sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire 
unto the 'Lord. 

29 And Mo'ses took the breast, and waved it 
for a wave '"offering before the 'Lord : for of 
the ram of consecration it was Mo'ses' part; 
as the Lord commanded MS'ses. 

30 And Mo'ses took of the anointing oil, and 
of the blood which was upon the altar, and 
sprinkled it upon Aar'on, and upon his gar- 
ments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' 
garments with him; and sanctified Aar'on, and 
his garments, and his sons, and his sons' gar- 
ments with him. 

31 r And M5'ses said unto Aar'on and to his 
sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation : and there eat it 
with the bread that is in the basket of conse- 
crations, as I commanded, saying, Aar'on and 
his sons shall eat it. 

32 And that which rema'ineth of the flesh 
and of the bread shall ye bum with fire. 

33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation in "seven days, 
until the days of your consecration be at an 
end: for seven days shall he consecrate you. 

34 As he hath done this day, so the Lord 
hath commanded to do, to make an 'atonement 
for you. 

35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of 
the tabernacle of the congregation day and 
night seven days, and keep -"the charge of the 
'Lord, that ye die not : for so I am commanded. 

36 So Aar'on and his sons did all things 
which the 'Lord commanded by the hand of 
M6'se§. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 The first offerings of Aaron, for himself and 
the people. 8 The sin offering, 12 and the 
burnt offering for himself. 15 The offerings 
for the people. 24 Fire cometh from the 
Lord. 

1 And it came to pass on the 'eighth day, 
that "Mo'ses called 3 Aar'on and his sons, and 
the elders of Is'ra-el; 

2 And he said unto Aar'on, Take thee a 
^oung calf for a sin ^offering, and a ram for a 
"burnt ''offering, without ^blemish, and offer 
them before "'the s Lord.

horizontally to and fro. which, the 
rabbis say. symbolically teaches that 
Jehovah is present in every quarter

Ch. 9. B. C. 1490. 

XOTE. — Ch. 9 establishes the na- 
tional worship in permanent form. In 
it is recorded Aaron's first offering 
and blessing. Aaron had just been 
installed into bis priestly office, and 
was on the same day commanded by 
Moses to perform its functions as the 
sins of the people were in pressing 
need of expiation. The superintend- 
ence of Moses is continued in order 
to rectify any mistake of these no- 
vitiates. 

1. There are three eight-day serv- 
ices in the Levitical law — the other 
two are the cleansing of the leper 
ich. 14:10-2J) and the purification of 
a defiled Nazarite iXum. 6:10). There 
are also three such scenes in the Gos- 
pels: ill The transfiguration iLu. 9: 
28 1 : '-i tie- resurrection and mani- 
festation on the first or eighth day >>f 
the week; (3) the second mat 

tion to ail the apostles (John 20:19- 
20). 

2. For life of MVses. see 11. ch. 
2, Ex. 

3. For life of Aaron, see 21. ch. 
4, Ex. 

4. In taking a young calf for a 
sin offering Moses delicately reminds 
Aaron of the great sin which he had 
committed in making the golden calf. 
and teaches him that the animal 
which was of idolatrous worship 
among the Egyptians as a symbol of 
the deity is fit only for a sin offering 
to Jehovah, the creator of all things.

ings, to sacrifice before the Lord; and a meat 
'offering mingled with oil : for ''to day the 
'Lord will appear unto you. 

5 r And they brought that which : Mo'ses 
commanded before the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation: and all the congregation drew near 
and stood before the 'Lord. 

6 And : M6'ses said, This is the thing which 
the Lord commanded that ye should do: and 
the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you. 

7 And Mo'ses said unto Aar'on, Go unto the 
altar, and offer thy sin 'offering, and thy 
"burnt offering, and make an ^'atonement 'for 
thyself, and for the people: and offer the of- 
fering of the people, and make an ' z atoneme.'t 
for them; as the Lord commanded. 

8 r Aar'on therefore went unto the altar, 
and slew the calf of the sin 'offering, which 
was for himself. 

9 And the sons of Aar'on brought the blood 
unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, 
and put it upon the horns ef the altar, and 
poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar: 

10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the 
caul above the liver of the sin ^offering, he 
burnt upon the altar; as the "Lord commanded 
= M6'ses. 

11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with 
fire without the camp. 

12 And he slew the a burnt offering; and 
Aar'on's sons presented unto him the blood, 
which he sprinkled round about upon the altar. 

13 And they 'presented the "burnt "offering 
unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the 
head: and he burnt them upon the altar. 

14 And he did wash the "inwards and the 
"legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering 
on the altar. 

15 And he ^brought the people's offering, 
and took the goat, which was the sin offering 
for the people, and slew it, and offered it for 
sin, as the first. 

16 And he brought the "burnt ^offering, and 
offered it according to the manner. 

17 And he brought the meat ^'offering, and 
took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the 
altar, beside the burnt "sacrifice of the morn- 
ing. 

18 He sleiv also the bullock and the ram for 
a sacrifice of peace ^offerings, which was for 
the people: and Aar'on's sons presented unto 
him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the 
altar round about, 

19 And the fat of the bullock and of the 
ram, the "rump, and that which covereth the 
inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above 
the liver: 

20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, 
and he burnt the fat upon the altar: 

21 And the breasts and the right shoulder 
Aar'on waved for a ''wave offering before the 
"Lord; as Mo'ses commanded. 

22 And Aar'on lifted up his hand toward the 
people, and °*blessed them, and came down from 
offering of the sin "offering, and the "burnt Of- 
fering, and peace 17 offerings. 

23 And Mo'ses and Aar'on went into the 
tabernacle cf the congregation, and came out, 
and s: blessed the people: and the glory of the 
'Lord appeared unto all the people.

24 And there came a c fire out from before 
the i Lord, and consumed upon the altar the 
burnt ^offering and the fat: which when all the 
people saw, they shouted, and fell on their 
faces. 

CHAPTER 10. 

1 Xadab and Abihu, for offering of strange 
fire, are burnt by fire. 8 The priests are for- 
bidden wine when they are to go into the 
tabernacle. 12 The law of eating the holy 
things. 

1 And Na'dab and A-bi'hu, the sons of Aar'- 
on, took "either of them his censer, and put 
fire therein, and put incense thereon, and of- 
fered "strange fire before the "Lord, which he 
commanded them 3 not. 

2 And there went "out fire from before the 
"Lord, and devoured them, and they died before 
the "Lord. 

3 Then Mo'se§ said unto Aar'on, This is it 
that the "Lord spake, saying, I will be sancti- 
fied in them that come nigh me, and before all 
the people I will be ^glorified. And Aar'on 
held his peace. 

4 And Mo'ses called Mish'a-el and El'za- 
phan, the sons of Uz'zi-el the uncle of Aar'on, 
and said unto them, Come near, carry your 
brethren from before the sanctuary out of the 
camp. 

5 So they went near, and carried them in 
their coats out of the camp; as Mo'§e§ had 
said. 

6 And Mo'§e§ said unto Aar'on, and unto 
E-le-a'zar and unto ith'a-mar, his sons, 5 Un- 
cover not your heads, neither rend your clothes ; 
lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the 
people: but let your brethren, the whole house 
of Is'ra-el, bewail the burning which the "Lord 
hath kindled. 

7 And ye shall not go out from the door of

for the anointing oil of the "Lord is upon you. 
And they did according to the word of Mo'ses.

9 Do not ec drink wine nor strong drink, thou, 
nor thy sons with thee, when ye go 'into the 
tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it 
shall be a statute for ever throughout your 
generations : 

10 And that ye may put difference between 
holy and unholy, and between unclean and 
clean ; 

11 And that ye may teach the children of 
is'ra-el all the statutes which the "Lord hath 
spoken unto them by the hand of Mo'se§.

Ch. 10. B. C. 14S0. 

NOTE. — This ch. deals with the sad 
effect of sin intruding into the holiest 
scenes of earth and casting down the 
anointed priests of Jehovah. It also 
contains a statute enforcing the 
priestly abstinence from wine, which 
appears to have been suggested by the 
drunkenness of Nadab and Abihu, two 
eldest sons of Aaron, also a law con- 
cerning the eating of the holy sacri- 
fices. It deals with the blunders of 
the priests in burning the sin offering, 
which should have been eaten, and 
details Aaron's apology for their mis- 
take. Nadab and Abihu, selected to 
accompany Moses Aaron and the sev- 
enty elders to Mt. Sinai, had just 
been invested with their priestly robes 
and entered upon their first services, 
when by a rash act they Incurred the 
displeasure of Jehovah. This ch. opens 
with the positive sin of the priests 
and closes with an account of nega- 
tive failure, and how in the former 
they dishonored God and in the latter 
forfeited his blessings.

2. These men were not at liberty 
to take their own censer. The fire 
is therefore called "strange" in dis- 
tinction from that of celestial origin, 
which "came out from before Jehovah 
and consumed the burnt offering" (ch. 
9:24). Therefore their sin consisted 
in the performance of th« Lord's serv- 
ices in a manner which he commanded 
them not. 

3. By the use of strange fire, i. e., 
not the celestial fire. 

4. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

5. It was the law that the priest 
should never leave the altar to go to 
burials or interrupt his duties by 
shedding tears. He represented God 
as well as the people and he must 
abide at his duties, whoever died. 

6. Vs. 9- 11 contain the statute for- 
bidding the priests to drink strong 
drinks. The Hebrew word. Yayin, 
here used for wine, is in 75 out of 136 
passages spoken of with condemna- 
tion because of its disastrous effect. 
Unfermented wine called must in the 
Hebrew by tirosh is never prohibited, 
and is used 38 times. 

7. When engaged in the service to 
Jehovah absolute abstinence is com- 
manded. 

8. Meal offering. Vs. 12-20 detail 
the law coucerning eating the most 
holy things or the offerings. 

9. That part of the shoulder used 
in the wave offering to and fro which 
according to the rabbinical tradition 
acknowledges Jehovah to be present 
in all quarters of the globe. Th.' 
heave offering to be waved upward 
and downward, upward presenting to 
Jehovah, downward sig. that Jehovah 
had returned his offering with his 
favor. 

10. The sacrifice or oblation, as au 
expiation for trespasses committed 
against Jehovah. 

11. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah; 



E-le-a'zar and unto ith'a-mar, his sons that 
were left, Take the d meat "offering that re- 
maineth of the offerings of the "Lord made by 
fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: 
for it is most holy: 

13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, be- 
cause it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the 
sacrifices of the "Lord made by fire: for so I 
am commanded. 

14 And the wave s breast and heave "shoulder 
shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy 
sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they 
be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given 
out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the 
children of is'ra-el. 

15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast 
shall they bring with the offerings made by 
fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering 
before the Lord; and it shall be thine, and thy 
sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the 
Lord hath commanded. 

16 If And M6'§es diligently sought the goat 
of the sin "offering, and, behold, it was burnt: 
and he was angry with E-le-a'zar and ith'a- 
mar, the sons of Aar'on, which were left alive, 
saying, 

17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin ln of- 
fering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, 
and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity 
of the congregation, to make c atonement for 
them before the "Lord? 

18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in 
within the holy place; ye should indeed have 
eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded. 

19 And Aar'on said unto Mo'§e§, Behold, 
this day have they offered their sin ""offering 
and their /"burnt ""offering before the Lord; 
and such things have befallen me: and if I 
had eaten the sin offering to day, should it 
have been accepted in the sight of the "Lord? 

20 And when Mo'se§ heard that, he was con- 
tent.

among all the beasts that are on the earth. 

3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clov- 
enfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the 
beasts, that 3 shall ye eat. 

4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them 
that chew the cud, or of them that divide the 

i hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the 



offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster 

Ch. 11. B. C. 1490. 

NOTE. — Chs. 11-27 embrace the sec- 
ond part of Lev., which treats of the 
holiness and sanctity of life, from the 
legislative standpoint. The minutest 
rules are given to guard the Hebrew 
in the choice of his food, the same 
as in his worship. Ch.- 11 enjoins 



upon Israel the duty of holiness, as 
the foundation of the distinction in 
his food. As a man's character is 
greatly affected by what he puts into 
his mouth, through the mysterious 
connection between body and mind, 
the divine lawgiver begins at the 
foundation and regulates the food of 
the chosen people. 

The time has now come when Jelio- 
van must isolate the Hebrews from 
the surrounding idolatrous nations, 



that they might be witnesses to the 
unity of the Godhead and the worship 
of the one, true, holy and living God. 
They are weak and in their infancy 
as a nation, every safeguard must be 
thrown around them. Previous to 
this the sacrifices have been insti- 
tuted, the iitual of the altar has been 
ordained, the priests have been conse- 
crated; and the nation, now typically 
purged from sin, mu6t be led along 
the path of holy living. In the very 



food he ate, the Israelite must have 
something to remind him of the law 
of his God, and feel himself enclosed 
on every side with the signs and in- 
dicatious of that righteousness which 
it was his great duty as a member 
of the covenant to cherish and exem- 
plify. In that spirit ch. 11 should be 
read. 

1. Living things. 

2. May eat. 

3. That ye may eat. 



Chapter 10. 

a. And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the 
two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. (Num. 16:35.) And 
the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote 
him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. (II Sam. 
6:7.) For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots 
like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with 
flames of fire. (Is. 66:15.) For our God is a consuming fire. (Heb. 
12:29.) 

b. And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom 
I will be glorified. (Is. 49:3.) And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold I am against thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst 
of thee; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have 
executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. (Ezek. 28:22.) 
Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said. Now is the Son of man 
glorified, and God is glorified in him. (Jno. 13:31.) 

c. Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of 
any of the afflicted. (Prov. 31:5.) Wine is a mocker, strong drink is 
raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20:1.) 
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath bab- 



bling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? (29). 
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine (30). 
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color 
in the cup, when it moveth itself aright (31). At last it biteth like a 
serpent and stingeth like an adder. (Prov. 23:29-32.) They shall not 
drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that 
drink it. (Is. 24:9.) 

d. And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil. 
and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheatened flour shalt thou- 
make them. (Ex. 29:2.) This shall be thine of the most holy things, re- 
served from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of 
theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of 
theirs, which they shall render unto me, r:hall be most holy for thee 
and for thy sons. In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male 
shall eat it; it shall be holy unto thee. (Num. 18:9, 10.)

among the creeping things that creep upon the

toise after his kind, 

30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, an J

43 Ye shall d not make yourselves abomina- 
ble with any creeping thing that creepeth. 
neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with 
them, that ye should be defiled thereby. 

44 For I am the Lord your God: ye shall 
therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be 
holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile 
yourselves with any manner of creeping thing 
that creepeth upon the earth. 



b. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, 
if it be received with thanksgiving (4). For it is sanctified by the word 
of God in prayer. (I Tim. 4:4, 5.) Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out 
from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; 
be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. (Is. 52:11.) Not that 
which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but that which cometh out 
of the mouth, this defileth a man (11). These are the things which 
defile a man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 
(Math. 15:11, 20.) But Peter said. Not so. Lord: for I have never eaten 
any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him 
again the second time, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou com- 
mon. (Acts 10:14,15.) That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and 
from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from 
which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. (Acts 15:29.) I know, 
and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of 
itself; but to him that esteemeth anything to he unclean, to him it is 
unclean (14). For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but 
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 14:14, 17.) 
But meat commendeth us not to God; for neither, if we eat, are we the 



better: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. (I Cor. 8:8.) Let no 
man. therefore, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an 
holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days (16). Touch not: 
taste: handle not. (Col. 2:16, 21.) "Which stood only in meats and 
drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them 
until the time of reformation. (Heb. 9:10.) 

c. That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not 
eat to defile himself therewith: I am the Lord. (Lev. 22:8.) 

Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, my soul hath not been polluted; 
for from my youth up even till now. have I not eaten of that which 
dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces: neither came there abominable 
flesh into my mouth. (Ezek. 4:14.) And ye shall be holy men unto me; 
neither shall ve eat anv flesh that is torn of the beasts' in the field; ye 
shall cast it to the dogs. (Ex. 22:31.) 

d. Te shall, therefore, put difference between clean beasts and un- 
clean, and between unclean fowls and clean. And ye shall not make 
your souls abominable by beasts, or by fowl, or by any manner of 
living thing that creepeth en the ground, which I have separated from 
you as unclean. (Lev. 20:25.)

1 The purification of women after childbirth. 
6 Her offerings for her purifying. 

1 And the Lord spake unto Mo'§es, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, say- 
ing, If a woman have conceived seed, and born 
a man child: then she shall be unclean seven 
days; according to the days of the separation 
for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 

3 And in the "eighth day the flesh of his 
'foreskin shall be circumcised. 

4 And she shall then continue in the blood 
of her purifying three and thirty days; she 
shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into 
the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying 
be fulfilled. 

5 But if she bear a maid child, then she 
shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separa- 
tion: and she shall continue in the blood of 
her purifying threescore and six days. 

6 And when the days of her purifying are 
fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall 
bring 6 a lamb of the first year for a burnt "of- 
fering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, 
for a sin 'offering, unto the door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, unto the priest : 

7 Who shall offer it before the 4 Lord, and 
make an -'atonement p for her; and she shall be 
cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is 
the law for her that hath born a male or a 
female. 

8 And if she be 'not able to bring a lamb, 
then she shall bring two turtles, or two young 
pigeons; the one for the burnt 2 offering, and 
the other for a sin 'offering: and the priest 
shall make an 'atonement for her, and she shall 
be clean.

flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be 
in the skin of his flesh like the "plague of lep- 
rosy; then he shall be brought unto Aar'on the

plague is turned white, and the plague in sight

NOTE. — The law of ceremonial pur- 
ity advances from that of animals in 
ch. 11 to persons in ch. 12; and added 
thereto are the causes for defilement, 
such as arise from childbirth, leprosy 
and certain secretions t: which is 
added in Num. 19:11-16, the pollu- 
tion 01 touching a human corpse. All 
these defilements are suggestive of 
moral pollutions, staining and defiling 
the soul. This ch. also treats of 
woman after childbirth, and seeks to 
throw around parentage a sense of its 
terrible responsibility, inasmuch as it 
peoples heaven or hell. 



1. The sign of the covenant (Gen. 
17:11). Circumcision implies de- 
pravity and symbolizes spiritual re- 
generation. (Dt. 30:6) — "And the 
Lord thy God will circumcise thine 
heart, and the heart of thy seed, to 
love the Lord thy God with all thine 
heart, and with all thy soul, that 
thou mayest live." (Jer. 4:4) — "Cir- 
cumcise yourselves to the Lord, and 
take away the foreskins of your 
heart, ye men of Judea and inhab- 
itants of Jerusalem; lest my fury 
come forth like fire, and burn that 
none can quench it, because of the 
evil of your doings." Water baptism 
tak^s the place of circumcision in 
the new covenant. (Col. 2:11. 12) 
— In whom also ye are circum- 
cised with the circumcision made 
without hands, in putting off the body 
of the sins of the flesh by the circum- 
cision of Christ. Buried with him in 
baptism, wherein also ye are risen 
with him through the faith of the 
operation of G<d. who hath raised 
him from the dead." 



2. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one is in the mood of 
grief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



3. Offered as a propitiation or cov- 
ering of minor offenses, the removal 
of ceremonial uncleanness. an atone- 
ment of sins of ignorance, either when 
the wrong doer was ignorant of the 
law or forgetful of it. To be offered 
when the wrong done could not be 
undone.

plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on 
him, and pronounce him unclean. 

4 If the bright spot be white in the skin of 
his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the 
skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; 
then the priest shall shut up him that hat)- the 
plague seven days: 

5 And the priest shall look on him the sev- 
enth day: and, behold, if the plague in his 
sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not 
in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up 
seven days more: 

6 And the priest shall look on him again the 
seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be 
somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in 
the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean : 
it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, 
and be clean. 

7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the 
skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest 
for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest 
again : 

8 And if the priest see that, behold, the scab 
spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pro- 
nounce him unclean : it is a leprosy. 

9 If When the plague of leprosy is in a man, 
then he shall be brought unto the priest; 

10 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, 
if the rising be white in the skin, and it have 
turned the hair white, and there be quick raw 
flesh in the rising;

flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him un- 
clean, and shall not shut him up: for he is 
unclean. 

12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the 
skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him 
that hath the plague from his head even to his 
foot, wheresoever the priest looketh; 

13 Then the priest shall consider: and, be- 
hold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, 
he shall pronounce him clean that hath the 
plague: it is all turned white: he is clean. 

14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he 
shall be unclean. 

15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, 
and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw 
flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy. 

16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be 
changed unto white, he shall 6 come unto the 
priest; 

17 And the priest shall see him: and, be- 
hold, if the plague be turned into white; then 
the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath 
the plague: he is clean.

skin thereof, was a c boil, and is healed,

ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. 
which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) And such were some 
of you; but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified 
in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (I Cor. 
6:11.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, 
every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or 
bought -with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. (Gen. 
17:12.) And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of 
the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the 
angel before he was conceived in the womb. (Lu. 2:21.) Moses there- 
fore gave unto you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the 
fathers); and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. (Jno. 7:22.) 

b. He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) The next 
day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of 
God, which taketh away the sin of the world (29). And looking upon 
Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! (Jno. 1:29, 36. > 
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible 
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by 
tradition from your fathers (18); But with the precious blood of Christ, 
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. (I Pet. 1:18, 19.) And 
I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four beasts, 



and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, 
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of 
God sent forth into all the earth. (Rev. 5:6.) And I said unto him, Sir, 
thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of 
great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white 
in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:14.)

Chapter 13. 

a. Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, 
and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you; 
as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. (Dt. 24:8.) And when 
he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests 
And it came to pass that, as they went, they were cleansed. (Lu. 17:14.) 

b. And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a 
man full of leprosy; who, seeing Jesus, fell on his face, and besought 
him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean (12). A id he 
charged him to tell no man; but go, and show thyself to the priest, 
and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testi- 
mony unto them. (Lu. 5:12, 34.) 

c. And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and 
shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, 
throughout all the land of Egypt. (Ex. 9:9.) The Lord will smite 
thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, 
and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. (Dt. 28:27.) So 
went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with 
sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. (Job 2:7.)

skin of their flesh bright spots, even white 
bright spots; 

39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if 
the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be 
darkish white; it is a freckled spot that grow- 
eth in the skin; he is clean. 

40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his

41 And he that hath his hair fallen off 
from the part of his head toward his face, he 
is forehead bald: yet is he clean. 

42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald 
forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy 
sprung up in his bald head, or his bald fore- 
head. 

43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, 
behold, if the rising of the sore be white red- 
dish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, 
as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the 
flesh; 

44 He is a leprous man, ho is unclean: the 
priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his 
plague is in his head. 

45 'And the leper in whom the plague is, his 
clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he 
shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and 
shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 

46 All the days wherein the plague shall be 
in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he 
shall dwell alone; 'without the camp shall his 
habitation be. 

47 " The garment also that the plague of 
leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, 
or a linen garment; 

48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of 
linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in 
any thing made of skin; 

49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish 
in the garment, or in the skin, either in the 
warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; 
it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed 
unto the priest:

51 And he shall look on the plague on the 
seventh day: if the plague be spread in the 
garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, 
or in a skin, or in any work that is made of 
skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is 
unclean. 

52 He shall therefore burn that garment, 
whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, 
or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: 
for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt 
in the fire. 

53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold,

wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he 
shall shut it up seven days more:

after that it is washed: and, behold, if the 
plague have not changed his colour, and the 
plague be not spread ; it is unclean ; thou shalt 
burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether 
it be bare within or without.

took it out, behold his hand was leprous as' snow. (Ex. 4:6.) And 
the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, and, behold, Miriam became 
leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold she 
was leprous. (Num. 12:10.) And there came a leper to him, beseech- 
ing him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him. If thou wilt, 
thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put 
forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou 
clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed 
from him, and he was cleansed. (Mk. 1:40-42.) 

e. Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp 



every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is denied

had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let 
her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be 
received in again. (Num. 12:14.) And there were four leprous men, at 
the entering of the gate: and they said one to another. Why sit we 
here until we die? (II Ks. 7:3.) And the Lord smote the king, so that 
he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. 
(II Ks. 15:5.) And as he entered into a certain village, there met him 
ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off. (Lu. 17:12.) Now we 
command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye 
withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and 
not after the tradition which he received of us. (II Thes. 3:6.)

or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out 
of the woof: 

57 And if it appear still in the garment, 
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any 
thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou 
shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. 

58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, 
or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou 
shalt wash, if the plague be departed from 
them, then it shall be washed the second time, 
and shall be clean.

the priest: 

3 And the priest shall go forth out of the 
camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, 
if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; 

4 Then shall the priest command to take for 
him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and 
clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop : 

5 And the priest shall command that one of 
the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over- 
running -water: 

6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and 
the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, 
and shall dip them and the living bird in the 
blood of the bird that was killed over the 
running water: 

7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to 
be cleansed from the leprosy ''seven times, and 
shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the 
living bird 'loose into the open field. 

8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash 
his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash 
himself in water, that he may be clean: and 
after that he shall come into the camp, and 
shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. 

9 But it shall be on the seventh May, that he 
shall shave all his hair off his head and his 
beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he 
shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, 
also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he 
shall be clean. 

10 And on the eighth day he shall take two 
he c lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb 
of the first year without blemish, and three 
tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, 
mingled with oil, and one 3 log of oil. 

11 And the priest that maketh him clean 
shall present the man that is to be made clean, 
and those things, before the Lord, at the door 
of the tabernacle of the congregation: 

12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, 
and offer him for a Hrespass offering, and the 
log of oil, and wave them for a wave ^offering

shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of

18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the 
priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of 
him that is to be cleansed : and the priest shall 
make ^an "atonement for him before the 'Lord. 

19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, 
and make an atonement for him that is to be 
cleansed from his uncleanness: and afterward 
he shall kill the aburnt offering: 

20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offer- 
ing and the meat offering upon the altar: and 
the priest shall make an fatonement for him, 
and he shall be clean. 

21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so 
much; then he shall take one lamb for a tres- 
pass offering to be waved, to make an ^atone- 
ment for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour 
mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a 
log of oil; 

22 And two turtledoves, or two young 
pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one 
shall be a sin offering, and the other a ^burnt

29 And the rest of the oil that is in the 
priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him

Chapter 14. 

a. And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy 
and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and 
the clean. (Bz. 44:23.) And, behold, there came a leper and wor- 
shipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 
(Math. 8:2.) And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show your- 
selves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they 
were cleansed. (Lu. 17:14.) 

b. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in 
Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou 
shalt be clean (10). Then went he down, and dipped himself seven 
times in Jordan according to the saying of the man of God; and his 



flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 
(II Ks. 5:10, 14.) 

c. See b, ch. 1, Lev. 

d. See b, ch. 12, Lev. 

e. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness 
of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) In whom we 
have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. (Col. 
1:14.) Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were 
offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the 
service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience (9). How much more 
shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself 
without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve 
the living God! (Heb. 9:9, 14.)

for a sin offering, and the other for a oburnt

32 This is the law of him in whom is the 
plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to 
get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

unto Aaron, saying, 

34 When ye be come into the land of Ca'- 
naan, which I give to you for a possession, and 
I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the 
'and of your possession; 

35 And he that owneth the house shall come 
and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me 
there is as it were a plague in the house: 

36 Then the priest shall command that they 
empty the house, before the priest go into it to 
see the plague, that all that is in the house be 
not made unclean: and afterward the priest 
shall go in to see the house: 

37 And he shall look on the plague, and, be- 
hold, if the plague be in the walls of the house 
with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which 
in sight are lower than the wall; 

38 Then the priest shall go out of the house 
to the door of the house, and shut up the house 
seven days: 

39 And the priest shall come again the sev- 
enth day, and shall look: and, behold, if the 
plague be spread in the walls of the house; 

40 Then the priest shall command that they 
take away the stones in which the plague is, 
and they shall cast them into an unclean place 
without the city: 

41 And he shall cause the house to be 
scraped within round about, and they shall 
pour out the dust that they scrape off without 
the city into an unclean place: 

42 And they shall take other stones, and put 
them in the place of those stones; and he shall 
take other mortar, and shall plaister the house.

out in the house, after that he hath taken away 
the stones, and after he hath scraped the 
house, and after it is plaistered; 

44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, 
behold, if the plague be spread in the house, 
it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is un-

blood of the bird, and with the running water, 
and with the living bird, and with the cedar 
wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scar- 
let: 

53 But he shall let go the living bird out of 
the city into the open fields, and make an 
'atonement for the house: and it shall be clean. 

54 This is the law for all manner of plague 
of leprosy, and scall, 

55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of 
a house, 

56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for 
a bright spot: 

57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it 
is clean: this is the law of leprosy. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 The uneleanness of men in their issues. 13 
The cleansing of them. 19 The uneleanness 
of women in their issues. 28 Their cleansing. 

1 And the Lord spake unto Mo'ses and to 
Aar'on, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of is'ra-el, and 
say unto them, When any man hath a running 
issue out of his flesh, because of his issue hf 
is unclean. 

3 And this shall be his uneleanness in his 
issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or 
his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his 
uneleanness. 

4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the 
issue, is unclean : and every thing, whereon he 
sitteth, shall be unclean. 

5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash 
his clothes, "and bathe himself in water, and 
be unclean until the even. 

6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon 
he sat that hath the issue shall wash his 
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be 
unclean until the even. 

7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that 
hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and 
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until 
the even. 

8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon 
him that is clean; then he shall wash his 
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be 
unclean until the even. 

9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon 
that hath the issue shall be unclean. 

10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that 
was under him shall be unclean until the 
even : and he that beareth any of those things 
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in 
water, and be unclean until the even. 

11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath 
the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in 
water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe 
himself in water, and be unclean until the 
even. 

12 And the Vessel of earth, that he touch- 
eth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and 
every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 

13 And when he that hath an issue is 
cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to 
himself seven day r s for his cleansing, and 
wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in run- 
ning water, and shall be clean. 

14 And on the eighth day he shall take to 
him c tico turtledoves, or tico young pigeons.

which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a 
stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and 
be unclean until the even; then shall' he be clean.- (Lev. 17:15.) But 
the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be 
sodden in a brasen pot it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water. 
(Lev. 6:28.) And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, 



doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or

her separation shall be unclean : every thing 
also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.

NOTE. — The most solemn and sig- 
nificant ordinances of the Levitical 
code, embracing the eritire scheme of 
the symbol worship, culminating in 
the day of atonement, is recorded in 
the 16th ch. Though the main part 
of the Mosaic ritual was sacrificial, 
because th-2 guilt of sin was perpet- 
ually calling for new acts of purifica- 
tion, yet ail were a part of one grand, 
comprehensive series of actions lead- 
ing to the idea of atonement which 
is related in this ch. 



1. Offered as a propitiation or cov- 
ering of minor offenses, the removal 
of ceremonial uncleanness, an atone- 
ment of unintentional sins, either 
when the wrong doer was ignorant of 
the law or forgetful of it. 



2. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah; 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



3. To condone, to cover, to make 
reconciliation for. 



4. The goat laden with the sins 
of the people and which was sent to 
the spirit Zazel which abode in the 
wilderness; instituted that the ig- 
norant people might have a visible 
means of the removal of their sins.

not in their uncleanness, when they defile my 
tabernacle that is among them. 

32 This is the law of him that hath an 
issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, 
and is defiled therewith; 

33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, 
and of him that hath an issue, of the man, 
and of the woman, and of him that lieth with 
her that is unclean. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 How the high priest must enter into the holy 
place. 11 The sin offering for himself. 15 
The sin offering for the people. 20 The 
scapegoat. 29 The yearly feast of the ex- 
piations. 

1 And the Lord spake unto Mo'§e§ after the 
death of the two sons of Aar'on, when they 
offered before the Lord, and died; 

2 And the Lord said unto Mo§e§, Speak 
unto Adr'on thy brother, that he "come not at 
all times into the holy place within the vail 
before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; 
that he die not: for h I will appear in the cloud 
upon the mercy seat. 

3 Thus shall Adr'on come into the holy 
place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, 
and a ram for a 'burnt offering. 

4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and 
he shall have the linen breeches upon his 
flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, 
and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: 
these are holy garments; therefore shall he 
wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. 

5 And he shall take of the congregation of 
the children of Is'ra-el two kids of the goats 
for a sin ^offering, and one ram for a burnt 
'offering. 

6 And Adr'on shall offer his bullock of the 
sin offering, which is for himself, and make 
an 'atonement d for himself, and for his house. 

7 And he shall take the two goats, and 
present them before the Lord at the door of 
the tabernacle of the congregation. 

8 And Adr'on shall cast lots upon the two 
goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot 
for the ^scapegoat. 

9 And Adr'on shall bring the goat upon 
which the Lord's lot fell, and offer him for 
a sin Offering. 

10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to 
be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive be- 
fore the Lord, to make an ^atonement with 
him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into 
the wilderness. 

11 And Aar'on shall bring the bullock of the 
sin ^offering, which is for himself, and shall 
make an 'atonement d for himself, and for his 
house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin 
Offering which is for himself: 

12 And he shall take a censer full of burning 
coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, 
and his hands full of sweet incense beaten 
small, and bring it within the vail: 

13 And he c shall put the incense upon the 
fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the in- 
cense 7nay cover the mercy seat that is upon the 
testimony, that he die not: 

14 And he shall take of the blood of the

f. Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, 
and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you; 
as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. (Dt. 24:8.) Her priests 
have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things; they have 
put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they 
shown difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their 
eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. (Ez. 22:26.) 
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and 
the profane and cause them to discern between the unclean and the 
clean. (Ez. 44:23.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once 
in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements; once in the 
year shall he make atonement upon it, throughout your generations; 
it is most holy unto the Lord. (Ex. 30:10.) But into the second went 
the high priest alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered 



for himself and for the errors of the people. (Heb. 9:7.) Having, 
therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of 
Jesus. (Heb. 10:19.) 

h. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee 
from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are 
upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in 
commandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) 

c. For purpose and design of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

A. See i, ch. 4, Lev. Also e. ch. 1. 

e. And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; of shittim 
wood shalt thou make it (1). And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet in- 
cense every morning; when he dresseth the lamps; he shall burn incense 
upon it. (Ex. 30:1, 7.) And another angel came and stood at the altar, 
having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, 
that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden 
altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which 
came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the 
angel's hand. (Rev. 8:3, 4.)

the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy 
seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his 
finger seven "times. 

15 r Then shall he kill the goat of the sin 
'offering, that is for the people, and bring his 
blood within the vail, and do with that blood 
as he did with the blood of the bullock, and 
sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the 
mercy seat: 

16 And he shall make an "atonement "for 
the holy place, because of the uncleanness of 
the children of is'ra-el, and because of their 
transgressions in all their sins: and so shall 
he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, 
that remaineth among them in the midst of 
their uncleanness. 

17 And there shall be no man in the taber- 
nacle of the congregation when he goeth hi to 
make an 'atonement Hn the holy place, until 
he come out, and have made an "atonement for 
himself, and for his household, and for all the 
congregation of is'ra-el. 

18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is 
before the Lord, and make an ^atonement for 
it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, 
and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon 
the horns of the altar round about. 

19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon 
it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, 
and hallow it from the uncleanness of the chil- 
dren of is'ra-el. 

20 r And ivhen he hath made an end of 
reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle 
of the congregation, and the altar, he shall 
bring the live goat: 

21 And Adr'on shall lay both his ha)ids 
upon the head of the live goat, and confess over 
him all the iiiiqiiities of the children of Is'ra-el, 
and all their transgressions in all their sins, 
putting them upon the head of the goat, and 
shall send him away by the hand of a fit *man 
into the wilderness: 

22 And the goat shall fbear upon him all 
their iniquities unto a land not inhabited : and 
he shall let go the goat in the xcilderness. 

23 And Aar'on shall come into the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, and shall put off 
the linen garments, which he put on when he 
went into the holy place, and shall leave them 
there: 

24 And he shall wash his flesh with water 
in the holy place, and put on his garments, 
and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, 
and the burnt offering of the people, and make 
d an atonement for himself, and for the people. 

25 And the fat of the sin 'offering shall 
he burn upon the altar. 

26 And he that let go the goat for the 
scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe 
his flesh in water, and afterward come into 
the camp. 

27 And the bullock for the sin 'offering,

whole theory of the Jewish sai 
and in his great work presents the 
following points: ill The central 
point of the sacrifice is not the killing 
of the animal, but the procedure with 
the blood: (2 1 that the end of the 
sacrifice is expiation or atonement; 
(3) that it is Jehovah from whom the 
atonement proceeds and that it is for 
man: Hi that the blood make- an 
atonement because the soul is in the 
blood; (5 1 that the atoning power

that there is a symbolical substitu-

soul of man. Therefore ch. 17 iin-

sojourtieth among you: * 

30 For on that day ahull the priest make 
an ^atonement for you, to '-'cleanse you, that 
ye may be clean from all your sins before the 
Lord. 

31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, 
and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute 
for ever.

and whom he shall consecrate to minister in

make the atonement, d and shall put on the Unci 
clothes, even the holy garments:

atonement for the tabernacle of the congrega-

them; This is the thing which the Lord hath 
commanded, saying, 

3 What man soever there be of the house of 
Is'ra-el, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, 
in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp, 

4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an 
offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of

man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall 
be cut off from among his people: 

5 To the end that the children of Is'ra-el 
may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in 
the open field, even that they may bring them 
unto the Lord, unto the door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and 
offer them for peace "offerings unto the Lord. 

6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood 
upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the 
fat for a sweet savour unto the Lord. 

7 And they shall no more offer their sacri- 
fices unto devils, after whom they have gone 
a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever 
unto them throughout their generations. 

8 r And thou shalt say unto them, Whatso- 
ever man there be of the house of Is'ra-el, or 
of the strangers which sojourn among you, 
that offereth a burnt ^offering & or sacrifice, 

9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the

from among his people. 

10 r And whatsoever man there be of the 
house of Is'ra-el, or of the strangers that so- 
journ among you, that eateth ''any manner of 
blood; I icill even set my face against tho* 
soul that mteth blood, and will cut him off 
from among his people.

saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (Math. 
8:17.) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Be-

1:29.) Who his own self bare our sins in his own hody on the tree, that 
we. being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes

iniquities: whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have trans-

and I have given it to you upon the altar to 
make an "atonement d for your souls: for it is 
the blood that maketh an "atonement for the

12 Therefore I said unto the children of

shall any stranger that sojourneth among you 
eat blood.

dren of is'ra-el, or of the strangers that so- 
journ among you, which hunteth and catch- 
eth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he 
shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover 
it with dust. 

14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood 
of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said 
unto the children of Is'ra-el, Ye shall eat the 
blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all 
flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it 
shall be cut off. . 

15 And every soul that eateth that which 
died of itself, or that which was torn with 
beasts, whether it be one of your own coun- 
try, or a stranger, he shall both wash his 
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be 
unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. 

16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his 
flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.

NOTE. — Whenever a nation rejects 
God, it instinctively turns to the fetid 
pool of sensual pleasure to satisfy 
thirsty souls. The Hebrews, chosen 
as they were to be the people of God, 
needed especial instructions and safe- 
guards against this degrading form of 
sin. This ch. prohibits the vices of 
Egypt and Canaan (Lev. 1:5), in- 
cestuous marriages (Lev. 6:18), and 
unlawful lusts (Lev. 19:30).

sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 

12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of 
thy father's sister: she is thy father's near 
kinswoman. 

13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness 
of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's 
near kinswoman. 

14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of 
thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach 
to his wife: she is thine aunt. 

15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of 
thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; 
thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 

16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of 
thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's naked- 
ness. 

17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of 
a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou 
take her son's daughter, or her daughter's 
daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they 
are her near kinswomen : it is wickedness. 

18 3 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her 
sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, 
beside the other in her life time. 

19 6 Also thou shalt not approach unto a 
woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as 
she is put apart for her uncleanness. 

20 Moreover f thou shalt not lie carnally with 
thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with 
her. 

21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed 
pass through the fire to MS'lech, neither shalt 
thou f profane the name of thy God: I am the 
Lord. 

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with 
womankind: it is 'abomination. 

23 Neither shalt thou lie with s any beast to 
defile thyself therewith: neither shall any 
woman stand before a beast or lie down there- 
to: it is confusion. 

24 Defile -''not ye yourselves in any of these 
things: for in all these the nations are defile:! 
which I cast out before you: 

25 And the land is defiled : therefore I do 
visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land 
itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 

26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes ani 
my judgments, and shall not commit any of 
these abominations; neither any of your own 
nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth 
among you : 

27 (For all these abominations have the men 
of the land done, which were before you, and 
the land is defiled;) 

28 That the land spue not you out also, 
when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations 
that were before you. 

29 For whosoever shall commit any of these 
abominations, even the souls that commit them 
shall be cut off from among their people. 

30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, 
that ye commit not any one of these abom- 
inable customs, which were committed before 
you, and that ye -"'defile not yourselves there-

sin against the Lord in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye 
have transgressed; roll a great stone unto me this day. (I Sam. 14:33.) 

d. See i, ch. 4. Also e, ch. 1. 

Chapter 18. 

a. And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a 
God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth 
you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. (Ex. 6:7.) But be- 
cause the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which 
he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with 
a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from 
the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. (Dt. 7:8.) He that overcometh 
shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 
(Rev. 21:7.) 

b. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right; this do, and 
thou shalt live. (Lu. 10:28.) For Moses describeth the righteousness 
which is the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by 
them. (Rom. 10:5.) 

c. Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel, because thou wentest up 
to thy father's bed; then defllest thou it; he went up to my couch. 
(Gen. 49:4.) It is reported commonly that there' is fornication among 
you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gen- 



tiles, that one should have his father's wife. (I Cor. 5:1.) 

d. And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force m»; for 
no such thing ought to be done in Israel; do not thou this folly. (II 
Sam. 13:12.) 

e. So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife, whosoever touchetb 
her shall not be innocent. (Prov. 6:29.) Ye have heard that it was said 
by them of old time. Thou shalt not commit adultery. (Math. 5:27.) 
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of 
God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters, nor adulterers, 
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, shall inherit 
the kingdom of God. (I Cor. 6:9, 10.) Marriage is honorable in all, and 
the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 
(Heb. 13:4.) 

f. And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, 
they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the 
people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land. (Ezek. 36:20.) 
But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is 
polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. (Mai. 
1:12.) 

g. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from 
the heart: and they defile the man. (Math. 15:18.) If any man defile 
the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God. is

A repetition of sundry laws.

holy. 

3 r Ye shall fear every man ''his mother,

4 H Turn ''ye not unto idols, nor make to 
yourselves molten gods: I am the 'Lord your 
God. 

5 If And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace Offer- 
ings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your 
own will. 

6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, 
and on the morrow : and if ought remain until 
the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 

7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, 
it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 

8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall 
bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned 
the hallowed thing of the 'Lord: and that soul 
shall be cut off from among his people. 

9 ' And when ye reap the harvest of your 
land, thou shalt not wholly reap the comers 
of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the 
gleanings of thy harvest. 

10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, 
neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy 
vineyard; thou shalt leave them 'for the poor 
and stranger: I am the 'Lord your God. 

11 r Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, 
neither Hie one to another. 

12 * And ye shall not swear by my name 
falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name 
of thy God: I am the Lord.

hired shall not abide with thee all night until 
the morning. 

14 r Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put 
a ^stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt 
fear thy God: I am the 'Lord. 

15 r Ye shall do no ^unrighteousness in 
judgment: thou shalt not respect the person 
of the poor, nor honour the person of the 
mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge 
thy neighbour. 

16 r Thou shalt not go up and down as a 
talebearer among thy people: neither shalt

holy, which temple ye are. (I Cor. 3:17.) For all that do these things 
are an abomination unto the Lord, and because of these abominations 
the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. (Dt. 18:12.) 
Chapter 19. 

a. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation 
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him 
in love. (Eph. 1:4.) In holiness and righteousness before him, all the 
days of our life. (Luke 1:75.) 

b. For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother; and 
He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. (Math. 15:4.) 
Hoaor thy father and mother, (which is the first commandment with 
promise). (Eph. 6:2.) And he that curseth his father, or his mother, 
shall surely be put to death (Ex. 21:17.) Cursed be he that setteth 
light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 
(Dt. 27:16.) 

c. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath 
commanded thee. (Dt. 5:12.) And God blessed the seventh day, and 
sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work, which 
God created and made. (Gen. 2:3.) Remember the sabbath day, to keep 
it holy. (Ex. 20:S.) Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day 
is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation: ye shall do no work therein: 
it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. (Lev. 23:3.) More- 
over also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, 
that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. (Ezek. 
20:12.) 

d. 'Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. (I Cor. 10:14.) 

e. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver 
him in time of trouble. (Ps. 41:1.) He that oppresseth the poor re- 
proacheth his Maker; but he that honoreth him hath mercy on the 
poor. (Prov. 14:31.) If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and 
violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not 
at the matter; for he that is higher than the highest regardeth: and 
there be higher than they. (Ecc. 5:S.) My brethren, have not the faith 



of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons 
(1). But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are con- 
vinced of the law as transgressors. (Ja. 2:1, 9.) 

f. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with 
his neighbor; for we are members one of another. (Eph. 4:25.) 

g. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this 
rather, that no man put a stumbling block, or an occasion to fall, in 
his brother's way. (Rom. 14:13.) But take heed, lest by any means 
this libertv of vours become a stumbling block to them that are weak. 
• I Cor. 8:9.) 

h. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the 
wicked? (Ps. S2:2. ) But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, 
and are convinced of the law as transgressors. (Ja. 2:9.) 

i. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that 
no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (I Jno. 3:15.) 

j. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, 
rebuke him: and if he repent, forgive him. (Luke 17:3.) 

k. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in 
the sight of all men. (Rom. 12:17.) The thought of foolishness is sin: 
and the scorner is an abomination to men. (Prov. 24:9.) Not ren- 
dering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing: 
knowing that ve are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a bless- 
ing. (I Pet. 3:9.) 

I. Te have heard that it hath been said. Thou shalt love thy neigh- 
bor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you. love your enemies, 
bless them that curse you. do good to them that hate you. and pray 
for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. (Math. 5:43. 44. i

n. See ch. 21:5. 

o. Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God. and be more 
ready to hear, "than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not 
that they do evil. (Ecc. 5:1.)

and will cut him off from among his people; 
because he hath ghen of his seed unto Mo'- 
lech, to defile "my sanctuary, and to profane 
my holy name. 

4 And if the people of the land do any ways 
hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth 
of his seed unto Mo'lech, and kill him not: 

5 Then I will set my face against that man,

mit whoredom with ^Mo'lech, from among their

mitteth adultery with his neighbour's wife,

thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall

b. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for 
I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers

hate me. (Ex. 20:5.) And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto 
devils after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute

unto the priests the sons of Aar'on, and say 
unto them, There shall none be denied ^or the 
dead among his people: 

2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, 
that is, for. his mother, and for his father, and 
for his son, and for his daughter, and for his 
Lrother, 

3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh 
unto him, which hath had no husband; for her 
may he be defiled. 

4 But he shall not defile himself, being a 
chief man among his people, to profane him- 
self. 

5 They shall not make "baldness upon their 
head, neither shall they shave off the corner 
of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their 
flesh. 

6 They shall be holy unto their God, and 
not "profane the name of their God: for the 
offerings of the 'Lord made by fire, and the 
bread of their God, they do offer: therefore 
they shall be holy. 

7 They shall not take a wife that is a 
whore, or profane; neither shall they take a 
woman put away from her husband: for he 
is holy unto his God. 

8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for 
he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be 
holy unto thee: Hor I the 'Lord, which sanc- 
tify you, am holy. 

9 r And the daughter of any priest, if she 
profane herself by playing the whore, she 
profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with 
fire. 

10 And he that is the high priest among 
his brethren, upon whose head the anointing 
oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put 
on the garments, shall not uncover his head, 
nor rend his clothes; 

11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, 
nor defile himself for his father, or for his 
mother; 

12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, 
nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for 
the crown of the anointing oil of his God is 
upon him: I am the 'Lord. 

13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 

14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or pro- 
fane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: 
but he shall take a virgin of his own people 
to wife. 

15 Neither shall he profane his seed among 
his people: for I c the Lord do sanctify him. 

16 r And the 1 Lord spake unto Moses, say- 
ing, 

17 "Speak unto Aar'on, saying, Whosoever 
he be of thy seed in their generations that hath 
any blemish, let him not approach to offer the 
bread of his God. 

18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a 
blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man. 
or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any 
thing superfluous,

handed,

4. Personal blemishes of the prlest-

with the sacrifice of God should be 
perfect. 



20 Or erookbackt, or a dwarf, or tliat hath 
a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, 
or hath his stones broken; 

21 No man that hatli a blemish of the seed 
of Aar'on the priest shall come nigh to offer 
the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he 
hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer 
the bread of his God. 

22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both 
of the most holy, and of the holy. 

23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor

note— Ch. 21 treats of the boll- blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries:

24 And Mo'ses told it unto Aar'on, and to 
his sons, and unto all the children of is'ra-el.

1 And the Lord spake unto Md'ses, saying, 

2 Speak unto Aar on and to his sons, that 
they separate themselves from the holy things 
of the children of is'ra-el, and that they pro- 
fane not my holy name in those things which 
they hallow unto me: I am the Lord. 

3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all 
your seed among your generations, that goeth 
unto the holy things, which the children of 
is'ra-el hallow unto the 'Lord, having his un- 
cleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off 
from my presence: I am the 'Lord. 

4 What man soever of the seed of Aar'on 
is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall 
not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. 
And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean 
by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from 
him; 

5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, 
whereby he may be made unclean, or a man 
of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever 
uncleanness he hath; 

6 The soul which hath touched any such 
shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat 
of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh 
with water. 

7 And when the sun is down, he shall be 
clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy 
things; because it is his food. 

8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with 
beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself there- 
with; I am the 'Lord. 

9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, 
lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if 
they profane it: I the 'Lord do sanctify them. 

10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy 
"thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired 
servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 

11 But if the priest buy any soul with his 
money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born 
in his house: they shall eat of his meat. 

12 If the priest's daughter also be married 
unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering 
of the holy 'things. 

13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, 
or divorced, and have no child, and is re- 
turned unto her father's house, as in her youth, 
she shall eat of her father's meat: but there 
shall no stranger eat thereof. 

14 % And if a man eat of the holy thing un- 
wittingly, then he shall put the fifth part 
thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest 
with the holy thing.

relative to the reverence becoming ; 
them in handling the people's offer- ; 
ings. As Israel was chosen to be the 
holy nation and they were now receiv-

especially incumbent on the priests 
to prove their holiness as an example 
before the people, as well as their 
duty to Jehovah.

peculiar people: that ye should show forth the praises of him who 
hath called vou out of darkness into his marvelous light. (I Pet. 2:9.)

15 And they shall not profane the holy 
things of the children of Is'ra-el, which they 
oifer unto the Lord; 

16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of 
trespass, when they eat their holy things: for

unto all the children of is'ra-el, and say unto

or of the strangers in is'ra-el, that will 'offer 
his oblation for all his vows, and for all his 
freewill offerings, ivhich they will offer unto 
the Lord for a "burnt ^offering; 

19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male 
b without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, 
or of the goats. 

20 But whatsoever hath a ^blemish, that 
shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable 
for you. 

21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of 
peace 'offerings unto the Lord to accomplish 
his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or 
sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there 
shall be no blemish therein. 

22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a 
wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer 
these unto the x Lord, nor make an offering by 
fire of them upon the altar unto the *Lord. 

23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any 
thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that 
mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but 
for a vow it shall not be accepted. 

24 Ye shall not offer unto the 'Lord that 
which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; 
neither shall ye make any offering thereof in 
your land. 

25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye 
offer the bread of your God of any of these; 
because their corruption is in them, and blem- 
ishes be in them: they shall not be accepted 
for you. 

26 II And the 'Lord spake unto M5'se§, say- 
ing, 

27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, 
is brought forth, then it shall be seven days 
under the dam; and from the eighth day and 
thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering 
made by fire unto the 'Lord. 

28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall 
not kill it and her young both in one day. 

29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of 
thanksgiving unto the 'Lord, offer it at your 
own will. 

30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye 
shall leave none of it until the morrow: I 
am the 'Lord. 

31 Therefore shall ye keep my command- 
ments, and do them: I am the 'Lord. 

32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; 
but C I will be hallowed among the children of

Egypt, to be d your God: I am the 'Lord.

Ch. 23. B. C. 1490. 

NOTE. — The festivals or the feasts 
of the Lord were instituted for the 
threefold purpose of preserving a 
knowledge of the facts on which their 
religion was based, an increase and 
maintenance of the feeling of national 
unity, and a development of their re- 
ligious sentiments. The passover, 
commemorating the miraculous deliv- 
erance from Egypt; the feast of first- 
fruits, variously styled the feast of 
wheat-harvest, of weeks, or Pente- 
cost; and the feast of ingathering, 
also called the feast of tabernacles. 
Pentecost is supposed to be in memory 
of the giving of the law at Sinai, 
although there is n.o Scriptural au- 
thority for the belief. 



1. Jehovah. 



2. Religious banquets. 



3. All worldly thoughts to be put 
aside. 



4. The "seventh day. the period of 
perfection, the Sabbath day, a day 
set aside as sacred to Jehovah. 



5. Because he passed over the 
blood-stained doors of the Hebrews 
when the death-angel smote the first- 
born of Egypt. 



6. The leaven is prohibited in this 
feast because it commemorates the 
hasty flight from Egypt, when the Is- 
raelites did not have time to make 
the leavened bread. 



7. The seventh day of the feast. 



8. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



9. Meal offering or food offering 
medium of communion. 



10. There is no word "deals" In 
the Hebrew, but simply "two-tenths." 
Should be an ephod, about six quarts. 



11. Consisting of wine poured upon 
the altar, and is emblematic of joy. 



12. The hin contained five quarts. 



13. Meal or food offering; a medi 
um of communion.

The passover. 9 The sheaf of firstfruits. 
15 The feast of Pentecost. 23 The feast of 
trumpets. 26 The day of atonement. 33 
The feast of tabernacles. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto M5'ses, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, and 
say unto them, Concerning the 2 feasts of the 
Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy 3 con- 
vocations, even these are my feasts. 

3 "Six days shall work be done: but the 
'seventh day is the ^sabbath of rest, an holy 
convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it 
is the sabbath of the 'Lord in all your 
dwellings. 

4 If These are the feasts of the 'Lord, even 
holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in 
their seasons. 

5 In the fourteenth day of the first month 
at even is the Lord's ''passover. 

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same 
month is the feast of unleavened "bread unto 
the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened 
bread. 

7 In the first day ye shall have an holy 
convocation: ye shall do no servile work there- 
in. 

8 But ye shall offer an offering made by 
fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh 
7 day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no 
servile work therein. 

9 II And the 'Lord spake unto Mo'ses, say- 
ing, 

10 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, and 
say unto them, When ye be come into the land 
which I give unto you, and shall reap the 
harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf 
of the c firstfruits of your harvest unto the 
priest : 

11 And ye shall wave the sheaf before the 
'Lord, to be accepted for you : on the morrow 
after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 

12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave 
the sheaf an he d lamb without blemish of the 
first year for a e burnt ^offering unto the Lord. 

13 And the meat "offering thereof shall be 
two '"tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, 
an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a 
sweet savour: and the drink "offering thereof 
shall be of wine, the fourth part of an 12 hin. 

14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor 
parched corn, nor green ears, until the self- 
same day that ye have brought an offering 
unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever 
throughout your generations in all your dwell- 
ings. 

15 1 And ye shall count unto you from the 
morrow after the sabbath, from the day that 
ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; 
seven sabbaths shall be complete: 

16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh 
sabbath shall ye number f fifty days; and ye 
shall offer a new meat ''offering unto the Lord. 

17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations 



ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, 
which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) Know ye not that ye 
are the temple of God, and that the Spirit oC God dwelleth in you? 
(I Cor. 3:16.) Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort 
you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought 
to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. (I 
Thes. 4:1.)

a. For purpose and design of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

b. See b, ch. 1, Lev. 

e. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the 
Lcrd of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory. (Is. 6:3.) After this 
manner therefore pray ye, Our Father which art in heaven. Hallowed 
be thy name. (Math. 6:9.) Father, glorify thy name. Then came 
there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will 
glorify it again. (Jno. 12:28.) 

d. And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a 
God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth 
you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. (Ex. 6:7.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. Six days thou shalt work; but on the seventh day thou shalt 
rest; in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. (Ex. 34:21.) The 



sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but 
the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. (Ecc. 5:12.) 
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as 
they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to 
house. (Lu. 10:7.) And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own 
business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you. 
(I Thes. 4:11.) Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy 
God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy 
work. (Dt. 5:12, 13.) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 
20:8.) 

b. See ch. 19, Lev. 

c. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits 
of all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) For if the first-fruit be holy, the 
lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. (Rom. 
11:16.) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first- 
fruits of them that slept. (I Cor. 15:20.) Of his own will begat he 
us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of 
his creatures. (Ja. 1:18.)

e. For purpose and design of the burnt offerings see Lev. ch. 1.

with one accord in one place. (Acts 2:1.)

one young bullock, and two rams: they shall

ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto

27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh 
month there shall be a day of "atonement : it 
shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye 
shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering

off from among his people. 

30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth 
any work in that same day, the same soul will 
I destroy from among his people. 

31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall

remaining elements of the tabernacle 
ritual, viz.. the oil for light, and the

flagrant act of sin and its dreadful 
punishment. All the details of this

points which the book of Leviticus 
has been developing, viz., the holi-

Ch. 25. B. C. 1491. 

NOTE. — In ch. 25 Moses seeks to 
impress upou the Hebrews that there 
is a holiuess of time the same as in 
everything else with which they had 
to do. Since the revelation to Moses 
in the burning bush there has been 
a constant effort to implant in the 
minds of the people the idea of the 
holiness of Jehovah, and that to wor- 
ship him properly the people must 
also strive to attain to ceremonial 
holiness at least, as a symbol of the 
holiness of the life. In this eh. they 
are taught that every seventh year 
must be a year set aside to Jehovah; 
the seventh year selected because the 
number seven is the period of perfec- 
tion, therefore the numbering of the 
year itself had the effect of impress- 
ing upon the minds of the people the 
idea of perfection as well as the wor- 
ship which they were to offer. Po- 
litical economists estimate that the 
entire wealth of the world is equal 
to seven harvests. This law therefore 
subtracts a sum equal to the entire 
wealth of a nation once in every 49 
years. In Ex. 21:7 and 16, as well as 
in this ch., is recorded the verdict 
of Jehovah against the chattel slavery 
of man, and he herewith strikes at 
the very root of its existence. 



1. Jehovah.

3. Vs. 8-55 are descriptive of the 
year of justice. Twice in each cen- 
tury occurred a year of renewal and 
restoration, in which all debts due 
from one Israelite to another were 
remitted.

ly after the seventh Sabbatical year.

7. Jehovah held title to Canaan 
and is therefore justified in ejecting, 
(1) the non-paying Canaanites; (2) 
the Israelites as worthless tenants. 



8 U 3 And thou shalt number 'seven sabbaths 
of years unto thee, seven times seven years; 
and the space of the seven sabbaths of years 
shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 

9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the 
jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh 
month, in the day of atonement shall ye make 
the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 

10 And ye shall hallow the ^fiftieth year, 
and ''proclaim liberty throughout all the land 
unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be 
a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every 
man unto his possession, and ye shall return 
every man unto his family. 

11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto 
you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which 
groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes 
in it of thy vine undressed. 

12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto 
you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of 
the field. 

13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return 
every man unto his possession. 

°14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neigh- 
bour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, 
ye shall not oppress one another: 

15 According to the number of years after 
the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, 
and according unto the number of years of 
the fruits he shall sell unto thee: 

16 According to the multitude of years thou 
shalt increase the price thereof, and according 
to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish 
the price of it: for according to the number 
of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto 
thee. 

17 Ye shall not therefore c oppress one an- 
other; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am 
the Lord your God. 

18 If Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and 
keep my judgments, and do them; and ye 
shall dwell in the land in safety. 

19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and 
ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in 
safety. 

20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat 
the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor 
gather in our increase: 

21 Then I will command my blessing upon 
you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth 
fruit for three years. 

22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and 
eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; 
until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the 
old store. 

23 IT The land shall not be sold for ever : 
for the land 7 is mine; for ye are strangers 
and sojourners with me. 

24 And in all the land of your possession 
ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 

25 If If thy brother be waxen poor, and 
hath sold away some of his possession, and if 
any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall 
he redeem that which his brother sold. 

26 And if the man have none to redeem it, 
and himself be able to redeem it; 

27 Then let him count the years of the sale 



unto me to enquire of God: When they had a matter, they come unto 
me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know 
the statutes of God, and his laws. (Ex. 18:15, 16.) 

c. Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and 
that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. (Ps. 74:18.) Where- 
fore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be for- 
given unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not 
be forgiven unto men. (Math. 12:31.) Do not they blaspheme that 
worthy name, by the which ye are called? (Ja. 2:7.) 

d. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: 
for in the image of God made he man. (Gen. 9:6.) He that smiteth 
a man so that he die, shall be surely put to death. (Ex. 21:12.) More- 
over ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is 
guilty of death; but he shall be surely put to death. (Num. 35:31.) 
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for 
all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. (Math. 26:52.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in 
the fruits thereof. (Ex. 23:10.) To fulfill the word of the Lord by the 
mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbath: for as long 



as she lay desolate, she kept sabbath, to fulfill threescore and ten 
years. (II Chr. 36:21.) 

b. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of 
vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn. (Is. 61:2.) For the 
day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is 
come. (Is. 63:4.) This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from 
the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all 
the people which were at Jerusalem to proclaim liberty unto them. 
That every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid- 
servant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess go free; that none should 
serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother. (Jer. 34:8, 9.) To 
preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Lu. 4:19.) Stand fast there- 
fore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not 
entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (Gal. 5:1.) 

c. He that oppresseth the poor, reproacheth his Maker: but he 
that honoreth him hath mercy on the poor. (Prov. 14:31.) Rob not 
the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted jn the gate. 
(Prov. 22:22.) The people of the land have used oppression, and exer- 
cised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy; yea, they have 
oppressed the stranger wrongfully. (Ezek. 22:29.) That no man go

thereof, and restore the overplus unto the 
man to whom he sold it; that he may return 
unto his possession. 

28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, 
then that which is sold shall remain in the 
hand of him that hath bought it until the year 
of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and 
he shall return unto his possession. 

29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a 
walled city, then he may redeem it within a 
whole year after it is sold; within a full year 
may he redeem it. 

30 And if it be not redeemed within the 
space of a full year, then the house that is 
in the walled city shall be established for ever 
to him that bought it throughout his genera- 
tions: it shall not go out in the jubile. 

31 But the houses of the villages which have 
no wall round about them shall be counted 
as the fields of the country : they may be re- 
deemed, and they shall go out in the jubile. 

32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Le'- 
vites, and the houses of the cities of their pos- 
session, may the Le'vites redeem at any time. 

33 And if a man purchase of the Le'vites, 
then the house that was sold, and the city of 
his possession, shall go out in the year of 
jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Le'- 
vites are their possession among the children 
of is'ra-el. 

34 But the field of the suburbs of their 
cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual 
possession. 

35 r 'And if thy brother be waxen poor, and 
fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt 
^relieve him : yea, though he be a stranger, 
or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 

36 Take thou °no usury of him, or increase: 
but fear thy God; that thy brother may live 
with thee. 

37 E Thou shalt not give him thy money upon 
usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

you forth out of the land of E'gypt, to give ,

39 ""And if 'thy brother that dwelleth by

journer, he shall be with thee, and shall serve 
thee unto the year of jubile: 

41 And then shall he depart from thee, both 
he and his children with him, and shall return 
unto his own family, and unto the possession 
of his fathers shall he return. 

42 For they are -'my servants, which I 
brought forth out of the land of E'gypt: they 
shall not be sold as bondmen.

rigour; but 'shalt fear thy God.

that are round about you; of them shall ye 
buy bondmen and bondmaids. 

45 Moreover of the children of the strangers 
that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye 
buy, and of their families that are with you, 
which they begat in your land: and they shall 
be your possession. 

46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance 
for your children after you, to inherit them 
for a possession; they shall be your bondman 
for ever: but over your brethren the children 
of Is'ra-el ye shall not rule one over another 
with rigour. 

47 r And if a sojourner or stranger wax 
rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by 
him wax poor, and sell himself unto the 
stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock 
of the stranger's family: 

48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed 
again; one of his brethren may redeem him: 

49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may 
redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto 
him of his family may redeem him; or if he 
be able, he may redeem himself. 

50 And he shall reckon with him that bought 
him from the year that he was sold to him unto 
the year of jubile: and the price of his sale 
shall be according unto the number of years, 
according to the time of an hired servant shall 
it be with him. 

51 If there be yet many years behind, ac- 
cording unto them he shall give again the price 
of his redemption out of the money that he 
was bought for. 

52 And if there remain but few years unto 
the year of jubile, then he shall count with 
him, and according unto his years shall he 
give him again the price of his redemption. 

53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he 
be with him: and the other shall not rule with 
rigour over him in thy sight. 

54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, 
then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both 
he, and his children with him. 

55 For unto me the children of is'ra-el are 
servants ; they are my servants whom I brought 
forth out of the land of E'gypt: I am the 
Lord your God.

beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord 
is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned vou and testified. 
(I Thes. 4:6.) 

d. He is ever merciful and lendeth: and his seed is blessed. (Ps. 
37:26.) He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker, but he 
that honoreth him hath mercy on the poor. (Prov. 14:31.) But whoso 
hath this world's good and seeth his brother hare need, and shutteth 
up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God 
in him? (I Jno. 3:17.) 

e. If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, 
thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him 
usury. (Ex. 22:25.) Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the 
uobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Te exact usury, every one 
of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them." (Xeh." 5:7.) 
He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against 
the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. (Ps. 
15:5.) He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he 
shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. (Prov. 28:8.) 

f. If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in 
the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. (Ex. 21:2.) But of the 
children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men 
of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers 
of his chariots, and his horsemen. (I Ks. 9:22.) At the end of seven 
years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been 
sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let 



him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither 
inclined their ear. (Jer. 34:14.) 

g. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, 
ye have your fruits unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (Rom. 
■5:22.) Ye are bought with a price: be not ve the servants of men. 
(I Cor. 7:23.) 

h. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing, 
threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven: neither is 
there respect of persons with him. (Eph. 6:9.) Masters, give unto 
your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have 
a master in heaven. (Col. 4:1.) 

i. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift 
witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against 
false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages

his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:5.)

a. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any like- 
ness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,

bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I 
will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 

32 And I will bring the land into desolation : 
and your enemies which dwell therein shall be 
astonished at it. 

33 And I will scatter you among the heath- 
en, and will draw out a sword after you: and 
your land shall be desolate, and your cities 
waste. 

34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, 
as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your 
enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, 
and enjoy her sabbaths. 

35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; 
because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when 
ye dwelt upon it. 

36 And upon them that are left alive of you 
I will send a faintness into their hearts in the 
lands of their enemies; and the sound of a 
shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall 
flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall 
fall when none pursueth. 

37 And they shall fall one upon another, as 
it were before a sword, when none pursueth : 
and 'ye shall have no power to stand before 
your enemies. 

38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, 
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 

39 And they that are left of you shall pine 
away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; 
and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall 
they pine away with them. 

9 40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and 
the iniquity of their fathers, with their tres- 
pass which they trespassed against me, and 
that also they have walked contrary unto me; 



c. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou 
Shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. (Job 11:18.) 
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the 
evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the 
wilderness, and sleep in the woods. (Ezek. 34:25.) 

d. And so it was in the beginning of their dwelling there, that 
they feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, 
which slew some of them. (II Ks. 17:25.) So will I send upon you 
famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and 
blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. 
I the Lord have spoken it. (Ezek. 5:17.) If I cause noisome beasts to 
pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that 
no man may pass through because of the beasts. (Ezek. 14:15.) 

e. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for 
ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in 
them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be 
my people. (II Cor. 6:16.) That they may walk in my statutes, and keep 
mine ordinances, and do them: they shall be my people, and I will be 
their God. (Ezek. 11:20.) 

f. The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, 
and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the 
sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue 
thee until thou perish. (Dt. 28:22.) 

g. The anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered 
them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into 



the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any 
longer stand before their enemies. (Jud. 2:14.) 

h. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God 
hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou 
hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. (Ps. 53:5.) 
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold 
as a lion. (Prov. 28:1.) 

i. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, 
the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through by- 
ways. (Jud. 5:6.) But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all 
the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, 
that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land 
desolate. (Zech. 7:14.) 

j. I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of 
Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken 
away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come 
up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. 
(Amos 4:10.) 

k. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unfo her on 
the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she hath hid 
her son. (II Ks. 6:29.) 

1. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he de- 
livered them into the hands of spoilers that spoil them, and he sold 
them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could 
not any longer stand before their enemies, (Jud. 2:14.)

41 And that I also have walked contrary 
unto them, and have brought them into the 
land of their enemies; if then their '"uncircum- 
cised hearts be humbled, and they then accept 
of the punishment of their iniquity: 

42 Then will I "remember mv covenant with 
Ja'cob, and also my covenant with I'saac, and 
also my covenant with A'bra-ham will I re- 
member; and I will remember the land. 

43 The land also shall be left of them, and 
shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth deso- 
late without them: and they shall accept of 
the punishment of their iniquity: because, even 
because they despised my judgments, and be- 
cause their soul abhorred my statutes. 

44 And yet for all that, when they be in the 
land of their enemies, °I will not cast them 
away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy 
them utterly, and to break my covenant with 
them: for I am the Lord their God. 

45 But I will for their sakes remember the 
covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought 
forth out of the land of E'gypt in the sight of 
the Pheathen, that I might be their God: I am 
the Lord. 

46 These are the '/statutes and judgments 
and laws, which the Lord made between him 
and the children of is'ra-el in mount SI'nai 
by the hand of Mo'§e§. 

CHAPTER 27. 

1 He that maketh a singular vow must be the 
Lord's. 2 The estimation of the person. 9 
Of a beast given by vow. 14 Of a house. 
16 Of a field, and the redemption thereof. 
28 No devoted thing may be redeemed. 32 
The tithe may not be changed. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto Mo'se§, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of is'ra-el, and 
say unto them, When a man shall make a 
"singular vow, the persons shall be for the 
'Lord by thy estimation. 

3 And thy Estimation shall be of the male 
from twenty years old even unto sixty years 
old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels 
of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 

4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation 
shall be thirty shekels. 

5 And if it be from five years old even unto 
twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be 
of the male twenty shekels, and for the female 
ten shekels. 

6 And if it be from a month old even unto 
five years old, then thy estimation shall be of 
the male five shekels of silver, and for the 
female thy estimation shall be three shekels 
of silver. 

7 And if it be from sixty years old and 
above; if it be a male, then thy estimation 
shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female 
ten shekels.

NOTE. — This ch. is supplementary 
in its character. The book ends with 
the promises and the threatening*, 
the solemn sanctions of the law, re- 
corded in ch. 2G. It Is a treatise on 
a subject not included In the law as 
obligatory. It relates, therefore, not 
to obligations, but to voluntary acts, 
and circumscribes them with rules if 
the individual desires to make them. 



1. Jehovah. 



2. All souls are equal in the sight 
of Jehovah, but the ability of all men 
to redeem them is not equal. There- 
fore, this sliding scale of redemption: 

A. (1) A male from one month 

to 5 years old. 3 shek- 
els $ 3.03 

(2) From 5 years to 20 

years, 20 shekels 12.12 

(3) From 20 to GO years. 

50 shekels 30.28 

(4) Above GO years, about 

15 shekels 8.96 

B. (1) Females from 1 month 

to 5 years old, 3 shek- 
els 1.82 

(2) From 5 years to 20 

vears. 10 shekels 6.0G 

(3) From 20 to 60 years, 

30 *hekels 18.17 

(4) Above GO years, 10 shek- 

els 6.00 



3. Since, through the joy of re- 
ligious experience a person may be 
prompted to pledge as an offering to 
God the substantial interests of life, 
as houses and lands, there must be 
laws which are recorded in vs. 14-25. 
regulating the manner of executing 
tueh vows. 



8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, 
then he shall present himself before the priest, 
and the priest shall value him; according to 
his ability that vowed shall the priest value 
him. 

9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring 
an offering unto the Lord, all that any man 
giveth of such unto the 'Lord shall be holy. 

10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a 
good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if 
he shall at all change beast for beast, then it 
and the exchange thereof shall be holy. 

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which 
they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, 
then he shall present the beast before the 
priest: 

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it 
be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the 
priest, so shall it be. 

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he 
shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estima- 
tion. 

3 14 11 And when a man shall sanctify his 
house to be holy unto the Lord, then the priest 
shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: 
as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. 

15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem 
his house, then he shall add the fifth part of 
the money of thy estimation unto it, and it 
shall be his. 

16 And if a man shall 6 sanctify unto the 
'Lord some part of a field of his possession, 
then thy estimation shall be according to the 
seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall 
be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 

17 If he sanctify his field from the year of 
jubile, according to thy estimation it shall 
stand. 

18 But if he sanctify his field after the 
jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him 
the money according to the years that remain, 
even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall 
be abated from thy estimation. 

19 And if he that sanctified the field will in 
any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth 
part of the money of thy estimation unto it, 
and it shall be assured to him. 

20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if 
he have sold the field to another man, it shall 
not be redeemed any more. « 

21 But the field, when it goeth out in the 
jubile, shall be holy unto the 'Lord, as a field 
devoted; the possession thereof shall be the 
priest's. 

22 And if a man sanctify unto the 'Lord a 
field which he hath bought, which te not of 
the fields of his possession; 

23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him 
the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year 
of the jubile: and he shall give thine estima- 
tion in that day, as a holy thing unto the 
'Lord. 

24 In the year of the jubile the field shall 



m. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all 
them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised. (Jer. 9:25.) Ye 
stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist 
the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. (Acts 7:51.) But he 
is a Jew which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, 
in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but 
of God. (Rom. 2:29.) In whom also ye are circumcised with the cir- 
cumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins, of 
the flesh by the circumcision of Christ. (Col. 2:11.) 

n. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his cov- 
enant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. (Ex. 2:24.) And he 
remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the 
multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) Nevertheless I will remember 
my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish 
unto thee an everlasting covenant. (Ezek. 16:60.) 

o. And the Lord was gracious unto them, and had compassion on 
them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abra- 
ham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he 
them from his presence as yet. (II Ks. 13:23.) God hath not cast away 
his people' which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of 
Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel. (Rom. 2:2.) 

p. The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness 
hath he openly shown in the sight of the heathen. (Ps. 98:2.) But I 
wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before 
the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself 



known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 
(Ezek. 20:9.) 

q. These are the statutes and judgments which ye shall observe 
to do in the land which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to pos- 
sess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. (Dt. 12:1.) Moses com- 
manded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. 
(Dt. 33:4.) For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth 
came by Jesus Christ. (Jno. 1:17.) 

Chapter 27. 

a. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When 
either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a 
Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the Lord. (Num. 6:2.) And 
she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look 
on the affliction of thine handmaid and remember me, and not forget 
thine handmaid, but will give unto thine handmaid a man child, then 
I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall 
no razor come upon h's head (11). Therefore also I have lent him to 
the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord. And he 
worshipped the Lord there. (I Sam. 1:11. 28.) 

b. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God 
your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the 
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Thes. 5:23.) For both he that 
sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause 
he is not ashamed to call them brethren. (Heb. 2:11.) By the which 
will we are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ 
once for all. (Heb. 10:10.)

return unto him of whom it was bought, even 
to him to whom the possession of the land did 
belong. 

25 And all thy estimations shall be accord- 
ing to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty 
gerahs shall be the shekel. 

26 11 Only the c firstling of the beasts, which 
should be the 'Lord's firstling, no man shall 
sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the 
Lord's. 

27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he 
shall redeem it according to thine estimation, 
and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if 
it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold ac- 
cording to thy estimation. 

4 28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that 
a man shall devote unto the 'Lord of all that 
he hath, both of man and beast, and of the 
field of his possession, shall be sold or re- 
deemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto 
the 'Lord. 



4. Vs. 28-34 record the rules regu- 
lating things devoted to Jehovah and 
to tithes. 



29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of 
men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be 
put to death. 

30 And rt all the tithe of the land, whether 
of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the 
tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the 'Lord. 

31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of 
his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part 
thereof. 

32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or 
of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under 
the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. 

33 He shall not search whether it be good 
or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he 
change it at all, then both it and the change 
thereof shall be holy; it shall not be re- 
deemed. 

34 These are the commandments, which the 
Lord commanded Mo'se§ for the children of 
Is'ra-el in mount Si'nai. 



c. Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the 
wcmb of the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is mine (2). 
That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, 



and every firstling which cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males 
shall be the Lord's. (Ex. 13:2, 12.) 

d. And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth 
in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they served, even 
the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. (Num. 18:21.) 



THE FOURTH BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED 

NUMBERS 



NOTE, — The Hook of Numbers Is In reality the fourth chapter of a larger book railed The Pentateuch, meaning the five fold book. The Jews 
regard the Pentateuch as one book, which they call the Torah. meaning the law. The Book of Numbers is of a mixed character. In It. history 1* later- 
laced with statutes, legislation, marches, rebellions and battles. The legislations of this book are all given as later enactments whenever special wants 
occur, similar to the decisions of the Supreme court when a ease is brought before it. The book may properly be divided Loto four parts: il f Brent* on 
preparing to leave Sinai (chs. 1-10), (2) the march (chs. lu-14). (3) the wanderings (chs. 15-19), (4) from Karl, -h to the land ol M (cl 20-36). 

In this book the people are numbered, for the purpose of separating the Levites from those Israelites who had to bear arms, and thus introducing 
into practice the law concerning the first-born, for whom the tribe of Levi became a substitute. For this reason the people are both numbered and separ- 
ated into classes, the order in which tribe should occupy the camp Is defined, and the Levites are introduced Into their respective functions (ens. 1-4 ) Then 
follow the laws relating to the authority of the priests in civil affairs (ch. 5). In ch. 9 Is given a beautiful description of the celebration of the passover 
preparatory to the departure of the people from the mount. The people now seem to be ready to enter the Holy Land, thoroughly prepared for the mis- 
sion before them; but as they were rebellious and stiffnecked, and consequently could not enter the Holy Land, it becomes necessary for the statement of 
accurate details setting forth the reasons why (chs. 11-14). Then for several chapters, the inner life of the now rejected race is carefully detailed, show- 
ing, on the one hand, the continuance of an evil disposition on the part of the people, and on the other, the majesty of God, watching over his holy law. 

There has been, on the part of some critics, an effort to dispute the authorship of Moses, yet with but little avail. Throughout tb'- Bible the In- 
spired writers from Joshua to Christ quote or allude to the books of the Pentateuch as the works of Moses. Let him who would fain criticise tread 
lightly where the inspired writers and the Son of God has d.-elared. The religious value of Numbers may be Bummed up as follows: (l) it teach 
a nation, as well as an individual, has a moral and religious character, and is bound by Its acts. (2) the need of divine guidance Ls symbolized l,v the ad- 
vance of the ark in the cloud. (3) types of character are presented which are worthy of study — Moses with the meekness of strong nature Under restraint; 
Miriam with the petty jealousness which often disfigure even noble women; Caleb, honest and whole-hearted; Balaam, weak, but not worthless; the fickle- 
ness of the mob, the people's disposition to blame everybody but themselves, the readiness of the laity to assert their rights rather than fulfill their 
duties, (4) the lofty and broad view of prophetic Inspiration.

1 God commandeth Moses to number the peo- 
ple. 5 The princes of the tribes. 17 The 

. number of every tribe. 47 The Levites are 
exempted for the service of the Lord. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§ in the 
wilderness of Sinai, in the "tabernacle of the 
congregation, on the first day of the second 
month, in the second year after they were 
come out of the land of E'gypt, saying, 

2 Take ''ye the sum of all the congregation 
of the children of Is'ra-el, after their families, 
by the house of their fathers, with the number 
of their names, every male by their Spoils; 

3 From twenty years old and upward, all 
that are able to go forth to war in Is'ra-el : 
thou and Aar'on shall number them by their 
armies. 

4 And with you there shall be a man of 
every tribe; every one head of the house of 
his fathers. 

5 11 And these are the names of the men that 
shall stand with you : of the tribe of Reu'ben ; 
E-li'zur the son of Shed'e-ur. 

6 Of Sim'e-on; She-lu'mi-el the son of Zu- 
ri-shad'da-I. 

7 Of Ju'dah; Nah'shon the son of Am-min'- 
a-dab. 

8 Of Is'sa-char; Ne-than'e-el the son of 
Zu'ar. 

9 Of Zeb'u-lun; E-li'ab the son of He'lon. 

10 Of the children of Joseph : of E'phra-Im ; 
E-lish'a-ma the son of Am-mi'hud : of Ma-nas'- 
seh; Ga-ma/li-el the son of Pe-dah'zur. 

11 Of Ben'ja-min; Ab'i-dan the son of Gid- 
e-6'ni. 

12 Of Dan; A-hi-e'zer the son of Am-mi-

14 Of Gad; E-H'a-saph the son of Deu'el. 

15 Of Naph'ta-li; A-hT'ra the son of E'nan. 

16 These were the renowned of the congre- 
gation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, 
heads r of thousands in Is'ra-el. 

17 11 And 2 Mo'se§ and Aar'on took these men 
which are expressed by their names: 

18 And they assembled all the congregation 
together on the first day of the second month,

a. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee 
from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which 
are upon the ark of testimony, of all things which I will give thee in 
commandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) 

b. When thou takest the sum of the children o£ Israel after their 
number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto 
the Lord, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among 
them, when thou numberest them. (Ex. 30:12.) For the king said to 
Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all 
the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the 
people, that I may know the number of the people. (II Sam. 24:2.) 

c. Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, 
such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such 
over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of 
fifties, and rulers of tens. (Ex. 18:21.) 

d. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teachest my hands to 



war, and my fingers to fight. (Ps. 144:1.) Watch ye, stand fast in the 
faith, quit you like men, be strong. (I Cor. 16:13.) 

e. Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise, thy hand 
shall be in the neck of thine enemies: thy father's children shall bow 
down before thee. (Gen. 49:8.) And Joab gave up the sum of the 
number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hun- 
dred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah 
were five hundred thousand men. (II Sam. 24:9.) For Judah prevailed 
above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright 
was Joseph's. (I Chr. 5:2.) Moreover he refused the tabernacle of 
Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim (67). But chose the tribe 
of Judah, the Mount Zion which he loved. (Ps. iS:67, 6S.) And here men 
that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is 
witnessed that he liveth. (Heb. 7:8.) And one of the elders saith unto 
me, Weep not: behold the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, 
hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

cording to the descriptions of this

the manner of the following figure. 
As to the exact size of this encamp-

46 Even all they that were numbered were 
3s\x hundred thousand and three thousand and 
five hundred and fifty. 

47 If But the ''Le'vites after the tribe of their 
fathers were 4 not numbered among them. 

48 For the 'Lord had spoken unto Mo'§e§, 
saying, 

49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of 
Le'vi, neither take the sum of them among the 
children of Is'ra-el : 

50 But Hhou shalt appoint the Le'vites over 
the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the 
vessels thereof, and over all things that belong 
to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all 
the vessels thereof; and they shall minister 
unto it, and shall encamp round about the 
tabernacle. 

51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, 
the Le'vites shall take it down : and when the 
tabernacle is to be pitched, the Le'vites shall 
set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh 
shall be put to death. 

52 And the children of Is'ra-el shall pitch 
their tents, every man by his own camp, and 
every man by his own standard, throughout 
their hosts. 

53 But the Le'vites shall pitch round about 
the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no 
■'wrath upon the congregation of the children 
of Is'ra-el: fc and the Le'vites shall keep the 
charge of the tabernacle of testimony. 

54 And the children of Is'ra-el did accord- 
ing to all that the 'Lord commanded Mo'§e§, 
so did they. 

CHAPTER 2. 
The order of the tribes in their tents. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§ and unto 
Aar'on, saying, 

2 "Every man of the children of Is'ra-el 
shall pitch by his own standard, with the en- 
sign of their father's house: 6 far off about the 
tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch. 

3 And on the east side toward the rising of 
the sun shall they of the standard of the camp 
of Ju'dah pitch throughout their armies: and 
Nah'shon the son of Am-mm'a-dab shall be 
captain of the children of Ju'dah. 

4 And his host, and those that were num- 
bered of them, were threescore and fourteen 
thousand and six hundred. 

5 And those that do pitch next unto him 
shall be the tribe of Is'sa-char: and Ne-than'- 
e-el the son of Zu'ar shall be captain of the 
children of Is'sa-char. 

6 And his host, and those that were num- 
bered thereof, were fifty and four thousand 
and four hundred. 

7 Then the tribe of Zeb'u-lun: and E-li'ab 
the son of He'lon shall be captain of the chil- 
dren of Zeb-u-lun. 

8 And his host, and those that were num- 



f. And his father refused, and said, I know it my son, I know it: 
he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his 
younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become 
a multitude of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee 
shall Israel bless, saying, God shall make thee as Ephraim and as 
Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. (Gen. 48:19, 20.) On 
the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according 
to their armies: And the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be 
Elishama the son of Ammihud (18). And his host, and those that were 
numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred. (Num. 2:18, 
19.) Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine: Ephraim is also the strength 
of mine head; Judah is my law-giver. (Ps. 60:7.) 

g. And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, 
about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. 
(Ex. 12:37.) These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six 
hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty. (Num. 
26:51.) 

h. But the Levites were not numbered among the children of 
Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses. (Num. 2:33.) But Levi and 
Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abomi- 
nable to Joab. (I Chr. 21:6.) 

i. And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole 



congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service 
of the tabernacle. And they shall keep all the instruments of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel to do 
the service of the tabernacle. (Num. 3:7, 8.) 

j. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, 
his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes, lest ye 
die, and lest wrath come upon all the people; but let your brethren, 
the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord hath 
kindled. (Lev. 10:6.) And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, 
and put Are therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go 
quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for 
there is wrath gone cut from the Lord; the plague is begun. (Num. 
16:46.) And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary and the charge 
of the altar; that there be no wrath any more upon the children of 
Israel. (Num. 18:5.) 

k. And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the 
tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary 
and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also die (3). And they shall 
be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not 
come nigh unto you (4). And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, 
and the charge of the altar; that there be no wrath any more upon the 
children of Israel. (Num. 18:3-5.)

his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered 
strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. (Lev. 
10:1.) And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire 
before the Lord. (Num. 26:61.) For the Lord thy God is a consuming 
fire, even a jealous God. (Dt. 4:24.) For behold, the Lord- will come 
with fire, and with his chariots, like a whirlwind, to render his anger 
with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. (Is. 66:15.) In flaming 
fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not 
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thes. 1:8.) For our God is a 
consuming fire. (Heb. 12:29.) 

b. Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb 
among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. 
(Ex. 13:2.) Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's 
firstling, no man shall sanctify it: whether it be ox, or sheep, it is the 
Lord's. (Lev. 27:26.) As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every 



male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord. (Luke 
2:23.) That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the 
matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; 
the males shall be the Lord's (12). And it came to pass, when Pharaoh 
would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the first-born in the land 
of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast: 
therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being 
males; but all the first-born of my children I redeem. (Ex. 13:12. 15.) 

c. See ch. 4, v. 5. 

d. And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then 
thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the 
female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. (Lev. 27:6.) 
And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou re- 
deem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, 
after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. (Num. 18:16.)

vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set 
forward; after that, the sons of Ko'hath shall 
come to bear it: but they shall not touch any

burden of the 'sons of Ko'hath in the taber-

of the Ko'hath-ites from among the Levites: 

19 But thus do unto them, that they may 
live, and not die, when they approach unto the 
most holy things: Aar'on and his sons shall 
go in, and appoint them every one to his serv- 
ice and to his burden : 

20 But ''they shall not go in to see when 
the holy things are covered, lest they die.

sons shall be all the service of the sons of the 
Ger'shon-ites, in all their burdens, and in all 
their service: and ye shall appoint unto them 
in charge all their burdens.

sons of Ger'shon in the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation: and their charge shall be under 
the hand of Ith'a-mar the son of Aar'on the 
priest.

number them after their families, by the house 
of their fathers;

he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemp- 
tion for us. (Heb. 9:12.) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not 
redeemod with corruptible things as silver and gold, from your vain 
conversation received by tradition from your fathers. But with the 
precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without 
spot. (I Pet, 1:18, 19.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and 
five years old and upward, they shall go in to wait upon the service 
of the tabernacle of the congregation. (Num. 8:24.) 

b. See v. 15. 

c. And the Kohathites set forward bearing the sanctuary: and 



the other did set up the tabernacle against they came. (Num. 10:21.) 
Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: 
for them hath the Lord chosen to carry the ark of God. and to 
minister unto him for ever (2). And the children of the Levites bare 
the ark of God upon their shoulders, with the staves thereon, as Mosea 
commanded according to the word of the Lord. (I Chr. 15:2, 15.) 

d. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, 
lest thev break through unto the Lord to gaze, and manv of them

through God to the pulling down of strongholds. (II Cor. 10:4.) Finally.

they put out of the a camp every leper, and 
every one that hath an issue, and whosoever 
is defiled by the dead: 

3 Both male and female shall ye put out, 
without the camp shall ye put them; that they 
defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I 
dwell.

'Lord, and that person be guilty; 

7 Then they shall ^confess their sin which 
they have done: and he shall. recompense his 
trespass '"with the principal thereof, and add 
unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto 
him against whom he hath trespassed. 

8 But if the man have no kinsman to recom- 
pense the trespass funto, let the trespass be 
recompensed unto the Lord, even to the priest; 
beside the ram of the atonement, whereby Oan 
atonement shall be made for him. 

9 And every offering of all the holy things 
of the children of Is'ra-el, which they bring 
unto the priest, shall be his.

h. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit (4). And 
there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord (5). And 
there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh

a. All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be 
defiled; he is unclean; he shall dwell alone: without the camp shall 
his habitation be. (Lev. 13:46.) And there were four leprous men at 
the entering in of the gate; and they said one to another: Why sit 
we here until we die I- (II Ks. 7:3.) Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out 
from thence, touch no unclean thing: go ye out of the midst of her; 
be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. (Is. 52:11.) And he 
entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, 
which jtood afar off. (Luke 17:12.) 

b. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called 
unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses. And 
he said, Here am I. (Ex. 3:4.) And the Lord spake unta you out of 



the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no 
similitude, only ye heard a voice. (Dt. 4:12.) And the Lord shall utter 
his voice before his army; for his camp is very great: for he is strong 
that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very 
terrible; and who can abide it? (Joel 2:11.) Whose voice then shook 
the earth; but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake 
not the earth only but also heaven. (Heb. 12:26.)

fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his 
neighbor (2); Or have found that which was lost, and lieth con- 
cerning it, and sweareth falsely; if any of all these that a man doeth,

with fire without the camp. (Lev. 9:11.) If a man shall deliver unto 
his neighbor money or stuff to keep and it be stolen out of the man's 
house; if the thief be found, let him pay double. (Ex. 22:7.) 

d. And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, 
that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing. (Lev. 5:5.) 

e. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even 
restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, 
and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his tres- 
pass offering. (Lev. 6:5.)

for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.

he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat "moist

or for his sister, when they die: because the 
consecration of his God is upon his head. 

8 All the days of his separation he is holy

and he hath defiled the head of his consecra-

h. For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare 
in the day of vengeance. (Prov. 6:34.) Set me as a seal upon thine 
heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death: jealousy 
is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath 
a most vehement flame. (Song S:6.) 

i. But if he be not able to bring two turtle doves, or two young 
pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part 
of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon 
it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon; for it is a sin offer- 
ing. (Lev. 5:11.) 

j. And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, thou 
man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, 
and to slay my son? (I Ks. 17:1S.) And it shall be no more the con- 
fidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remem- 
brance, when thev shall look after them: but they shall know that I 
am the Lord God? (Ezek. 29:16.) 

k. As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, 
so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. (Ps. 
109:18.) Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law 
to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 27:26.) 

1. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a by- 
word, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. (Dt. 2S:37.) 
And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the 
earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a 
curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. (Jer. 24:9.) 



m. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath 
clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. (Job 17:9.) Commit thy 
way unto the Lord: trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judg- 
ment as the noonday. (Ps. 37:5, 6.) 

n. And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or 
his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his naked- 
ness; it is a wicked thing: and they shall be cut off in the sight of 
their people; he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness: he shall bear 
his iniquity. (Lev. 20:17.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son: and no razor shall 
come on his head, for the child shall be a Xazarite unto God from the 
womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the 
Philistines. (Jud. 13:5.) Do therefore this that we sav to thee: We 
have four men which have a vow on them. (Acts 21:23*) 

b. And she vowed a vow. and said. O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt 
indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and 
not forget thine handmaid, but will give unto thine handmaid a man- 
child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and 
there shall no razor come upon his head. (I Sam. 1:11.) 

c. Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for 
his father, or for his mother. (Lev. 21:11.) 

d. And two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, such as he is 
able to get: and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt

e. And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congrega- 
tion of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is 
ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire 
unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their igno- 
rance. (Num. 15:25.) And he shall do with the bullock as he did with 
the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priests 
shall make an atonem'ent for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 
(Lev. 4:20.) When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through 
ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord, his God, 
concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty (22). Or if 
his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring 
his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish (23). And i£ 
any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth 
somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning 
things which ought not to be done, and be guilty (27). Or if his sin 
which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his 
offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which 
he hath sinned (28). And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the 
sin offering, and slay the sin offering in place of the burnt offering 
(29). And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, 
and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall 
pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar (30). And he 
shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off 
the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar 
for a sweet savor unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an atone- 
ment for him, and it shall be forgiven him. (Lev. 4:22, 23, 27-31.) And 
the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord: and it 
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in tres- 
passing therein. (Lev. 6:7.) For this is my blood of the new testa- 
ment, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (Math. 26:28.) 
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justi- 
fication. (Rom. 4:25.) Grace be to you and peace, from God the 
Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ (3), Who gave himself for our 
sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according 
to the will of God and our Father. (Gal. 1:3, 4.) Much more then, 
being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through 
him (9). For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God 
by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be 
saved by his life (10). And not only so, but we also joy in God through 
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 
(Rom. 5:9-11.) Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like 
unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest 
in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the 
people. (Heb. 2:17.) For the law having a shadow of good things to 
come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those 
sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers 
thereunto perfect (1). And every priest standeth daily ministering 
and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away 
sins (11). But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins 
for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Heb. 10:1, 11, 12.) And he 
is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the 
sins of the whole world. (I Jno. 2:2.) Who needeth not daily, as those 
high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for 
the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself (27). 
For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but 
the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who 
is consecrated for evermore. (Heb. 7:27, 28.) In whom we have redemp- 
tion through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches 
of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) 

f. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 



her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) The 
next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the 
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world (29). And look- 
ing upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! (Jno. 
1:29, 36.) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corrupt- 
ible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation, received 
by tradition from your fathers (18). But with the precious blood of 
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. (I Pet. 1:18, 19.) 
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, 
and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having 
seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent 
forth into all the earth. (Rev. 5:6.) And I said unto him, Sir, thou 
knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of 
great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white 
in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:14.) 

g. Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of 
the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats (19). But whatsoever 
hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable 
for you (20). And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings, 
unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a free-will offering in beeves 
or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish 
therein. (Lev. 22:19-21.) And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace 
offering unto the Lord be of the flock, male or female, he shall offer 
it without blemish. (Lev. 3:6.) 

h. And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, 
and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheatened flour shalt thou 
make them. (Ex. 29:2.) 

i. And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a 
wave offering before the Lord; as Moses commanded. (Lev. 9:21.) And 
thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, in the hands of his son; 
and shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. (Ex. 29:24.) 

j. Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with 
a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. (Ecc. 9:7.) 

k. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall pre- 
serve thy soul. (Ps. 121:7.) And now I am no more in the world, 
but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep 
through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they 
may be one as we are. (Jno. 17:11.) He shall deliver thee in six 
troubles: yea, ia seven there shall no evil touch thee. (Job 5:19.) Not- 
withstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by 
me the preaching might be fully known: and that all the Gentiles 
might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the 
Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me 
unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever, Amen. 
(II Tim. 4:17, 18.) 

1. God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to 
shine upon us; Selah. (Ps. 67:1.) Now therefore, O our God, hear 
the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face 
to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. 
(Dan. 9:17.) 

m. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on 
thee, because he trusteth in thee. (Is. 26:3.) Then Jesus said to 
them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so 
send I you. (Jno. 20:21.) Now the Lord of peace himself give you 
peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. (II Thes. 3:16.) 
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world 
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let 
it be afraid. (Jno. 14:27.) 

n. The Lord hath been mindful of us; he will bless us; he will 
bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. (Ps. 115:12.) 
The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. (Ps.

CHAPTER 8. 

1 How the lamps are to be lighted. 5 The 
consecration of the Levites. 23 The age and 
time of their service. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§, 3 saying, 

2 Speak unto Aar'on, and say unto him, 
When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps 
shall give "light over against the candlestick. 

3 And Aar'on did so; he lighted the lamps 



g. They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law; 
they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon 
thine altar. (Dt. 33:10.) Let my prayer be set forth before thee as in- 
cense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. (Ps. 141:2.) 
For from the rising of the sun, even unto the going down of the same, 
my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense 
shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering for my name shall 
be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 1:11.) And 
another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; 
and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with 
the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the 
throne. (Rev. 8:3.") 

h. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year; 
ye shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats. (Ex. 12:5.) But 
with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and 
without spot. (I Pet. 1:19.) 

i. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto him- 
self, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto 



us the word of reconciliation (19). For he hath made him to be sin 
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of 
God in him. (II Cor. 5:19, 21.) For he is our peace, who hath made 
both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between 
us. (Eph. 2:14.) 

j. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that 
ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, 
which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) For purpose and de- 
sign of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

k. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee 
from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which 
are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee 
in commandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) 

1. And within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each 
ten cubits high. (I Ks. 6:23.) The Lord reigneth; let the people trem- 
ble; he sitteth between the cherubim; let the earth be moved. (Ps. 
99:1.) And over the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of 
which we cannot now speak particularly. (Heb. 9:5.)

ing, 

6 Take the Le'vites from among the chil-

7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to 
d cleanse them: Sprinkle 'water of purifying 
upon them, and let them shave all "their flesh, 
and let them wash their clothes, and- so make 
themselves clean. 

8 Then let them take a young bullock with 
his meat "offering, even fine flour mingled with 
oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take 
for a sin "offering. 

9 And thou shalt bring the Le'vltes before 
the tabernacle of the congregation : and thou 
shalt gather the whole assembly of the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el together: 

10 And thou shalt bring the Le'vltes before 
the 'Lord: and the children of Is'ra-el shall 
put their hands upon the Le'vltes: 

11 And Aar'on shall "offer the Le'vltes be- 
fore the Lord for an '"offering of the children 
of Is'ra-el, that they may execute the service 
of the 'Lord. 

12 And the Le'vltes shall lay their hands 
upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt 
offer the one for a sin "offering, and the other 
for a "burnt "offering, unto the l Lord, to make 
an "atonementf for the Le'vltes. 

13 And thou shalt set the Le'vites before 
Aar'on, and before his sons, and offer them for 
"an offering unto the 'Lord. 

14 Thus shalt thou separate the Le'vites 
from among the children of Is'ra-el : and the 
Le'vites shall be "mine. 

15 And after that shall the Le'vites go in 
to do the service of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation : and thou shalt cleanse them, and 
offer them for an offering. 

16 For they are wholly given unto me from 
among the children of Is'ra-el; instead of such 
as open every womb, even instead of the first- 
born of all the children of Is'ra-el, have I 
taken them unto me. 

17 For all the h firstborn of the children of 
Is'ra-el are mine, both man and beast: on the 
day that I smote every firstborn in the land of 
E'gypt I sanctifi,ed them for myself.

2 Let the children of Is'ra-el also keep "the

3 hi the fourteenth day of this month, at 
even, ye shall keep it in his appointed *season: 
according to all the rites of it, and according 
to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it. 

4 And "Moses spake unto the children of 
Is'ra-el, that they should keep the 'passover. 

5 And they kept the 'passover on the four- 
teenth day of the first month at even in the 
tcilderuess of Si'nai: according to all that the 
x Lord commanded 'Moses, so did the children 
of Is'ra-el. 

6 r : And there were certain men, who were 
defiled by the dead body of a man, that they 
could not keep the passover on that day: and 
they came before 'Moses and before Aar'on on 
that day: 

I And those men said unto him, We are de- 
filed by the dead body of a man: wherefore 
are we kept e back, that we may b not offer an 
offering of the x Lord in his appointed season 
among the children of Is'ra-cl? 

8 And ~Mo§es said unto them, "Stand still,

shall the candlestick be made, his shaft, and his branches, his bowls.

b. And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work 
shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. (Ex. 
25:18.) 

c. And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was 
shown thee in the mount. (Ex. 25:40.) 

d. I will wash mine hands in innocency; so will I compass thine 
altar, O Lord. (Ps. 26:6.) Let us draw near with a true heart, in full 
assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, 
and our bodies washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.) Then will I 
sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean; from all your 
filthiness, and from oil your idols, will I cleanse you. (Ezek. 36:25.) 
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, . let us cleanse our- 
selves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in 
the fear of God. (II Cor. 7:1.)

hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near

before the congregation to minister unto them? (Num. 16:9.) 

h. Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the 
womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is mine. 
(Ex. 13:2.) As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that 
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord. (Lu. 2:23.) Only 
the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's firstling, no 
man shall sanctify it: whether it be ox or sheep, it is the Lord's. 
(Lev. 27:26.) Because all the first-born are mine: for on the day that I 
smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the 
first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be; I am 
the Lord. (Num. 3:13.)

a. Observe the month of Abib. and keep the passover unto the Lord 
thy God; for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee 
forth out of Egypt by night. Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the pass- 
over unto the Lord thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place 
which the Lord shall choose to place his name there. (Dt. 16:1, 2.)

12 They shall leave d none of it unto the 
morning, nor break e any bone of it: according 
to all the ordinances of the 'passover they shall 
keep it. 

13 But the man that is clean, and is not in 
a. journey, and forbear eth to keep the ^ass- 
over, even the same soul shall be cut off from 
among his people: because he brought not the 
offering of the x Lord in his appointed season,

14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among 
you, and will keep the passover unto the 1 Lord; 
according to the ordinance of the passover,

was reared up the cloud ^covered the taber-

day, and the appearance of fire by night.

children of is'ra-el journeyed, and at the com-

rested in their tents. 

19 And when the cloud tarried long upon 
the tabernacle many days, then the children of 
Is'ra-el kept the charge of the 'Lord, and jour- 
neyed not.

days upon the tabernacle; according to the 
commandment of the 'Lord they abode in their 
tents, and according to the commandment of

from ''even unto the morning, and that the 
cloud was taken up in the morning, then they 
journeyed: whether it was by day or by night 
that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 

22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, 
or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tab-

not: but when it was taken up, they jour-

whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou 
mayest use them for the calling of the assem- 
bly, and for the journeying of the camps. 

3 And when they shall blow with them, all 
the "assembly shall assemble themselves to thee 
at the door of the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion. 

4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, 
then the princes, which are heads of the thou- 
sands of Is'ra-el, shall gather themselves unto 
thee. 

5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps 
that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 

6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, 
then the camps that lie on the south side shall 
take their journey: they shall blow an alarm 
for their journeys. 

7 But when the congregation is to be gath- 
ered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not 
sound an alarm. 

8 And the sons of Aar'on, the priests, shall 
blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to 
you for an ordinance for ever throughout your 
generations. 

9 And if ye go to war in your land against 
the enemy that 6 opm - esseth you, then ye shall 
blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall 
be c remembered before the 'Lord your God, 
and ye shall be saved from your enemies. 

10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in 
your solemn days, and in the beginnings of

over ^your 3 burnt offerings, and over the sac- 
rifices of your *peace offerings; that they may

peace unto his people, and to his saints; but let them not turn again 
to folly. (Ps. 85:8.) If any man will do his will, he shall know of

7:17.) And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, 
for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after. (Heb.

that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

light; to go by day and night. (Ex. 13:21.) Moreover thou leddest 
them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire; 
to give them light in the way wherein they should go. (Neh. 9:12.) 
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a 
light of fire. (Ps. 78:14.) They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither 
shall the heat nor sun smite them; for he that hath mercy or. them

ceive me to glory. (Ps. 73:24.) And he led them forth by the right 
way, that they might go to a city of habitation. (Ps. 107:7.) As a beast 
goeth down into the valley, the spirit of the Lord caused him to rest; 
so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. (Is. 
63:14.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will 
praise thee among much people. (Ps. 35:18.) I was glad when they 
said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. (Ps. 122:1.) And 
the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying. Let us go 
speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; I will 
go also (21). Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek 
the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. (Zech. 
8:21, 22. 

b. And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was 
with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies 
all the days of th9 judge; for it repented the Lord because of their 
groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. 
(Jud. 2:18.) And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and 
out of the hand of all them that oppressed you, and drave them out 
from before you, and gave you their land. (Jud. 6:9.) And said unto 
the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought 
up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the 
Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that 
oppressed you. (I Sam. 10:18.)

the three days' journey, to search out a rest-

34 And 'the cloud of the 'Lord was upon

CHAPTER 11. 

1 T/ic burning at Taberah quenched by Moses' 
prayer. 4 The people lust for flesh, and 
loathe manna. 10 Moses complaineth of his 
charge. 16 God divideth his burden unto 
seventy elders. 31 Quails are given in 
wrath. 

1 And when the people "complained, it dis- 
pleased the 'Lord: and the 'Lord heard it; and 
his anger was kindled; and the 'fire of the 
Lord ''burnt among them, and consumed them 
that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 

2 And the people cried unto 2 Mo'ses; and 
when "Mo'ses r prayed unto the 'Lord, the fire 
was quenched. 

3 And he called the name of the place 'Tab'- 
e-rah: because the fire of the Lord burnt 
among them. 

4 *i And the mixt multitude that was among 
them fell a lusting: and the children of is'- 
ra-el also wept again, and said, Who shall give 
us "flesh to eat? 

5_We ^remember the fish, which we did eat 
in E'gypt freely; the cucumbers, and the "mel- 
ons, and the 'leeks, and the onions, and the 
garlick: 

6 But now our soul is dried away: there is 
'nothing at all, beside this manna, before our 
eyes. 

7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and 
the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium. 

8 And the people went about, and gathered 
it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mor- 
tar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of 
it : and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh 
"oil. 

9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in 
the night, the manna fell upon it. 

10 II "Then : Mo'ses heard the people weep 
throughout their families, every man in the 
door of his tent: and f the anger of the 'Lord 
was kindled greatly; Mo'§es also was "dis- 
pleased. 

11 And : Mo'ses said unto the 'Lord, Wheie- 
fore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and where- 
fore have I not found favour in thy sight, that 
thou layest the burden of all this people upon 
me? 

12 Have I ^conceived all this people? have 
I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto 



set it up; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 
(Num. 1:51.) 

g. And the Lord appeared unto Abrara, and said, Unto thy seed 
will I give this land; and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who 
appeared unto him. (Gen. 12:7.) 

h. And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed 
as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. (Gen. 
32:12.) 

i. See g, ch. 9. 

j. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let them also that 
hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them 
away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the 
presence of God. (Ps. 68:1, 2.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, he 
provoked the Lord to wrath. (Dt. 9:22.) 

b. Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might 
make his mighty power to be known. (Ps. 106:8.) 

c. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, 
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous 



man availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.) And the people cried unto Moses: and 
when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched. (Num. 11:2.) 
And the king answered and said unto the man of God. Intreat now the 
face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be 
restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the 
king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. (I 
Ks. 13:6.) 

d. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not 
subject to the law of God; neither indeed can be. (Rom. 8:7.) Whose 
end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory Is in 
their shame, who mind earthly things. (Phil. 3:19.) 

e. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold 
them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the chil- 
dren of Amnion. (Jud. 10:7.) Then the earth shook and trembled; the 
foundations of heaven moved and shook, hecause he was wroth. (II 
Sam. 22:8.) Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex 
them in his sore displeasure. (Ps. 2:5.) God .iudgeth the righteous, and 
God is angry with the wicked every day. (Ps. 7:11.) Who can stand 
before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his 
anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by 
him. (Nahum 1:6.)

h. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto thy people, and sanctify 
them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. (Ex. 
19:10.) But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, breth- 
ren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen 
you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the 
truth (13). Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining 
of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thes. 2:13, 14.) For both 
he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which 
cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (Heb. 2:11.) By the 
which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus 
Christ once for all (10). For by one offering he hath perfected for ever 
them that are sanctified. (Heb. 10:10. 14.) Wherefore Jesus also, that 
he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the 
gate (12). Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, work- 
ing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus 
Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Heb. 13:12, 21.)

neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. (Is. 59:1.) Wherefore, when 
[ came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? 
Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no 
power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the 



rivers a wilderness; their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and 
dieth for thirst. (Is. 50:2.)

Chapter 12. 

a. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the

6. Caleb, of the tribe of Jndah. 
He was sent with Joshua and others 
to explore the land of Canaan. He 
joined with Joshua in opposing the 
discouraging reports of the other 
spies, for which cause both he and 
Joshua were exempt from the decree 
of death which was pronounced on 
the generation - to which they be- 
longed. Because of his faith in Je- 
hovah, he was allowed to choose his 
own land in Canaan. 



11 Of the tribe of Jo'§eph, namely, of the 
tribe of Ma-nas'seh, Gad'dl the son of Su'sl. 

12 Of the tribe of Dan, Am'ml-el the son of 
Ge-mal'll. 

13 Of the tribe of Ash'er, Se'thur the son 
of Mi'chael. 

14 Of the tribe of Naph'ta-ll, Nah'bl the son 
of Voph'si. 

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Ge-u'el the son of 
Ma'chl. 

16 These are the names of the men which 
= Mo'§e§ sent to spy out the land. And Mo'ses 
called 6-she'a the son of Nun Je-hosh'u-a. 

17 II And •Mo'§es sent them to spy out the 
land of Ca'naan, and said unto them, Get you 
up this way southward, and go up into the 
mountain : 

18 And see the land, what it is; and the 
people that dwelleth therein, whether they be 
strong or weak, few or many; 

19 And what the land is that they dwell in, 
whether it be good or bad; and what cities 
they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or 
in strong holds; 

20 And what the land is, whether it be fat 
or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. 
And be ye of good courage, and bring of the 
fruit of the land. Now the time was the time 
of the firstripe grapes. 

21 r So they went up, and searched the land 
from the wilderness of Zin unto Re'hob, as 
men come to Ha'math. 

22 And they ascended by the south, and came 
unto Hebron; where A-hi'man, She'shai, and 
Tal'mai, the children of A'nak, were. (Now 
He'bron was built seven years before Z5'an in 
Egypt.) 

23 And they came unto the 'brook of Esh'- 
col, and cut down from thence a branch with 
one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between 
two upon a staff; and they brought of the 
pomegranates, and of the figs. 

24 The place was called the 'brook 5 Esh'col, 
because of the cluster of grapes which the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el cut down from thence. 

25 And they returned from searching of the 
land after forty days. 

26 If And they went and came to 2 Mo'§e§, 
and to Aar'on, and to all the congregation of 
the children of Is'ra-el, unto the wilderness of 
Pa'ran, to Ka'desh; and brought back word 
unto them, and unto all the congregation, and 
shewed them the fruit of the land. 

27 And they told him, and said, We came 
unto the land whither thou sentest us, and 
surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this 
is the fruit of it. 

28 Nevertheless a the people be strong that 
dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, 
and very great: and moreover we saw the 
children of A'nak there. 

29 The 6 Am'a-lek-ites dwell in the land of 
the south: and the Hit'tites, and the Jeb'u- 
sites, and the Am'or-ites, dwell in the moun- 
tains: and the Ca'naan-ites dwell by the sea, 
and by the coast of Jordan. 



c. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the 
Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, 
fear not to take unto thc-e Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived 
in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Math. 1:20.) 

d. And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh 
unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp; but his servant 
Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the taber- 
nacle. (Ex. 33:11.) 

e. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven 
moved and shook, because he was wroth. (II Sam. 22:8.) God judgeth 
the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. (Ps. 7:11.) 
Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierce- 
ness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are 
thrown down by him. (Nahum 1:6.) 

f. Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, 
after ye were come forth out of Egypt. (Dt. 24:9.) 

g. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, 
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous 
man availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.) And the people cried unto Moses; 



and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched. (Num. 
11:2.) 

h. Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, 
and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you; 
as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do (8). Remember what 
the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come 
forth out of Egypt. (Dt. 24:8, 9.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Hear, O Israel; thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in 
to possess nations, greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and 
fenced up to heaven (1). A people great and tall, the children of An- 
akims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can 
stand before the children of Anak! (Dt. 9:1, 2.) 

b. And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up 
and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up 
against them. (Jud. 6:3.) And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all 
the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for 
multitude: and their camels were without number; as the sand by the 
seaside for multitude. (Jud. 7:12.)

30 And f Ca'Ieb stilled the people before 
M6'se§, and said, Let us go up at once, and 
possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 

31 But the men that went up with him said, 
We be not able to go up against the people; 
for they are stronger than we. 

32 And they brought up an evil report of 
the land which they had searched unto the 
children of Is'ra-el, saying, The land, through 
which we have srone to search it, is a land that 
eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the 
people that we saw in it are men of a great 
stature. 

33 And there we saw the ''giants, the sons 
of A'nak, which come of the giants: and we 
were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so 
we were in their sight. 

CHAPTER 14. 

1 The people murmur. 6 Joshua and Caleb 
labour to still them. 26 The murmurers 
are deprived of entering into the land. 36 
The men who raised the evil report die by 
a plague. 

1 'And all the congregation lifted up their 
voice, and cried; and the people wept that 
night. 

2 And "all the children of Is'ra-el murmured 
against 2 Mo'§e§ and against Aar'on: and the 
whole congregation said unto them, Would 
3 God that we had died in the land of E'gypt! 
or would God we had died in this wilderness! 

3 And wherefore hath the 4 Lord brought us 
unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our 
wives and our children should be a prey? were 
it not better for us to return into E'gypt? 

4 And they said one to another, Let us 
6 make a captain, and let us return into E'gypt. 

5 Then Mo'§e§ and Aar'on fell on their faces 
before all the assembly of the congregation of 
the children of Is'ra-el. 

6 lf 5 And 6 J6sh'u-a the son of Nun, and 7 Ca'- 
leb the son of Je-phun'neh, which were of 
them that searched the land, rent their clothes : 

7 And they spake unto all the company of 
the children of Ts'ra-el, saying, The land, 
which we passed through to search it, is an 
exceeding good land. 

8 If the 4 Lord delight in us, then he will 
bring us into this land, and give it us; a land 
which floweth with milk and honey. 

9 Only rebel not ye against the 4 Lord, nei- 
ther c fear ye the people of the land; for they 
B are d bread for us: their defence is departed 
from them, and the Lord is e with us : fear them 
not.

with stones. And the glory of the "Lord ap- 
peared in the tabernacle of the congregation 
before all the children of Is'ra-el.

NOTE. — In this ch. the crisis of 
Israel's march is reached. Standing 
on the very threshold of the promised 
land the Israelites are excluded from 
its possessions because of their unfit- 
ness. During the three weeks' march 
from Sinai, three partial rebellions 
have broken out in the camp, and 
finally the people, because of their 
universal distrust of God and their 
threatened rejection of Moses and 
their purpose of returning to Egypt, 
overstepped the line between God's 
patience and his wrath.

long will this people provoke me? and how 
long will it be ere they believe me, for all the 
signs which I have shewed among them? 

12 I will smite them with the pestilence, 
and disinherit them, and will make of thee a 
greater nation and mightier than they.

the E-gyp'tian§ shall hear it, (for thou 
broughtest up this people in thy might from 
among them;)

of this land: for they have heard that thou 
4 Lord art among this people, that thou Lord 
art seen face to face, and that thy ''cloud 
standeth over them, and that thou goest before 
them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and 
in a pillar of fire by night. 

15 lINow if thou shalt kill all this people as 
one man, then the nations which have heard 
the fame of thee will speak, saying, 

16 Because the 4 Lord was not able to bring 
this people into the land which he sware unto 
them, therefore he hath slain them in the 
wilderness. 

17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power 
of my Lord be great, according as thou hast 
spoken, saying, 

18 The Lord is ^longsuffering, and of great 
mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, 
and by no means clearing the guilty, ''visiting 
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 
unto the third and fourth generation. 

19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of 
this people according unto the greatness of 
thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this peo- 
ple, from E'gypt even until now. 

20 And the 4 Lord said, I have ^pardoned 
according to thy word: 

21 But as truly as I live, lall the earth shall 
be filled with the glory of the Lord. 

22 Because all those men which have seen 
my glory, and my miracles, which I did in 
E'gypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted 
me now these ten times, and have not heark- 
ened to my voice; 

23 Surely *they shall not see the land which

d. And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philis- 
tines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span 
(4). And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed 
with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand 
shekels of brass (5). And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and 
a target of brass between his shoulders (6). And the staff of his spear 
was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred 
shekels of iron; and one bearing a shield went before him. (I Sam.

b. And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that 
thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebel- 
lion appointed a captain to return to their bondage; but thou art a 
God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of 
great kindness, and forsookest them not. (Neh. 9:17.) 

c. And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel; ye approach this day 
unto battle against your enemies; let not your hearts faint; fear not, 
and do not tremble; neither be ye terrified because of them. (Dt. 20:3.) 

d. God brought liim forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the 
strength of an unicorn; he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and 
shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

e. And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, 
Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be

sake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 



f. Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar, and in 
the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein 
they should go. (Neh. 9:12.) 

g. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous 
in mercy. (Ps. 103:8.) But in all things approving ourselves as the 
ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions. In necessities, in dis- 
tresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watch- 
ings, in fasting; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by 
kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned. (II Cor. 6:4-6.) But 
the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, 
goodness, faith. (Gal. 5:22.) Which sometime were disobedient, when 
once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the 
ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by 
water. (I Pet. 3:20.) 

h. Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression 
and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity 
of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto 
the third and fourth generation. (Ex. 34:7.) 

i. Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another, 
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous 
man availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.) 

j. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the 
earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover

would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing

having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed 
them that believed not. (Jude 5.) 

u. The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fret- 
teth against the Lord. (Prov. 19:3.) For ye know how that afterward, 
when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected; for he found 
no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. (Heb. 
12:17.) And the spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada 
the priest which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith 
God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye can- 
not prosper? Because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also for- 
saken you. (II Chr. 24:20.) 

v. Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot say: 
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear (1). But your iniquities have 
separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face 
from you, that he will not hear. (Is. 59:1, 2.)

CHAPTER 16. 
1 The rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 
31 The earth swalloweth up Korah, and a, 
fire consumeth others. 41 Fourteen thou- 
sand and seven hundred are slain by a 
plague for murmuring against Moses and 
Aaron. 46 Aaron stayeth the plague. 

1 Now Ko'rah, the son of Iz'har, the son of 
Ko'hath, the son of Le'vl, and Da'than and 
A-bi'ram, the sons of E-li'ab, and On, the son 
of Pe'leth, sons of Reu'ben, took men: 

2 And they rose up before Mo'ses, with cer- 
tain of the children of Is'ra-el, two hundred 
and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in 
the congregation, men of renown : 

3 And they gathered themselves together 
against M5'§e§ and against Aar'on, and said 
unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing 
all the congregation are holy, every one of 
them, and the 'Lord is among them : wherefore 
then lift ye up yourselves above the congrega- 
tion of the 'Lord? 

4 And when Mo'§e§ heard it, he fell upon 
his face: 

5 And he spake unto KS'rah and unto all his 
company, saying, Even to morrow the 'Lord 
will shew who are his, and who is "holy; and 
will cause him to come near unto him: even 
him whom he hath chosen will he cause to 
come near unto him. 

6 This do; Take you censers, Ko'rah, and 
all his company; 

7 And put fire therein, and put incense in 
them before the 'Lord to morrow: and it shall 
be that the man whom the 'Lord doth choose, 
he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, 
ye sons of Le'vl. 

8 And 2 Mo'§e§ said unto Ko'rah, Hear, I 
pray you, ye sons of Le'vl : 

9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, 
that the God of Is'ra-el hath Separated you 
from the congregation of Is'ra-el, to bring you 



d. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin 
not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus 
Christ the righteous. (I Jno. 2:1.) 

e. And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, 
and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have 
done somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord con- 
cerning things which should not be done, and are guilty. (Lev. 4:13.) 
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have 
dominion over me; then shall I be upright, and I be innocent from the 
great transgression. (Ps. 19:13.) But he that knew not, and did commit 
things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto 
whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to 
whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. 
(Lu. 12:48.) 

f. See e, ch. 6, Numbers. 

g. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall 
be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord; whosoever doeth 



work therein shall be put to death (2). Ye shall kindle no fire through- 
out your habitations upon the sabbath day. (Ex. 35:2, 3.) Tribulation 
and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, 
and also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) 

h. See i, ch. 20, Ex. 

i. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that 
ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, 
which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) But as he which hath 
called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation (15). 
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. (I Pet. 1:15, 16.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. Th;y shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name 
of their God; for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread 
of their God, they do offer; therefore they shall be holy. (Lev. 21:6.) 

b. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister 
unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. (Dt. 10:8.)

congregation to minister unto them? 

10 And he hath brought thee near to him, 
and all thy brethren the sons of Le'vi with 
thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? 

11 For which cause both thou and all thy 
company are gathered together against the 
'Lord: and what is Aar'on, that ye murmur 
against him? 

12 1i And "M5'§e§ sent to call Da'than and 
A-bi'ram, the sons of E-li'ab: which said, We 
will not come up: 

13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought 
us up out of a land that floweth with milk 
and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except 
thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? 

14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into 
a land that floweth with milk and honey, or 
given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: 
wilt thou 'put out the eyes of these men? we 
will not come up. 

15 And "Md'§e§ was very wroth, and said 
unto the 'Lord, Respect not thou their offer- 
ing: I have not taken one ass from them, 
neither have I hurt one of them. 

16 And 2 M5'§e§ said unto Ko'rah, Be thou 
and all thy company before the Lord, thou, 
and they, and Aar'on, to morrow: 

17 And take every man his censer, and put 
incense in them, and bring ye before the 'Lord 
every man his censer, two hundred and fifty 
censers; thou also, and Aar'on, each of you his 
censer. 

18 And they took every man his censer, and 
put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and 
stood in the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation with Mo'ses and Aar'on. 

19 And Ko'rah gathered all the congregation 
against them unto the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation: and the glory of the 
Lord appeared unto all the congregation. 

20 And the *Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§ and 
unto Aar'on, saying, 

21 Separate yourselves from among this 
congregation, that I may Consume them in a 
moment. 

22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, 
God, d the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall 
r one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all 
the congregation? 

23 r And the 'Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§, say- 
ing, 

24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get 
you up from about the tabernacle of Ko'rah, 
Da'than, and A-bi'ram. 

25 And 2 Mo'§e§ rose up and went unto Da'- 
than and A-bi'ram; and the elders of Is'ra-el 
followed him. 

26 And he spake unto the congregation, say- 
ing, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of 
these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, 
lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 

27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of 
Ko'rah, Da'than, and A-bi'ram, on every side: 
and Da'than and A-bi'ram came out, and stood 
in the door of their tents, and their wives, 
and their sons, and their little children.

works; for I have not done them of mine own 
mind. 



3. That is. Wilt thou utterly blind

29 If these men die the common death of all

of all men ; then the Lord hath not sent me. 

30 But if the 'Lord make a new thing, and 
the earth open her mouth, and swallow them 
up, with all that appertain unto them, and they 
go down quick into the pit; then ye shall un- 
derstand that these men have provoked the 
'Lord. 

31 *; And it came to pass, as he had made 
an end of speaking all these words, that the 
ground clave asunder that was under them: 

32 And the earth opened her mouth, and 
swallowed them up, and their houses, and all 
the men that appertained unto Ko'rah, and all 
their goods. 

33 They, and all that appertained to them, 
went down 4 alive into the pit, and the earth 
closed upon them: and they perished from 
among the congregation. 

34 And all is'ra-el that were round about 
them fled at the cry of them: for they said, 
Lest the earth swallow us up also. 

35 And there 'came out a fire from the 
'Lord, and consumed the two hundred and 
fifty men that offered incense. 

36 r And the 'Lord spake unto 2 M6'§es, say- 
ing, 

37 Speak unto E-le-a'zar the son of Aar'on 
the priest, that he take up the censers out of 
the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; 
for they are hallowed. 

38 The censers of these sinners against their 
own souls, let them make them broad plates 
for a covering of the altar: for they offered 
them before the 'Lord, therefore they are hal- 
lowed: and they shall be a sign unto the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el. 

39 And E-le-a'zar the priest took the brasen 
censers, wherewith they that were burnt had 
offered; and they were made broad plates for 
a covering of the 'altar: 

40 To be a memorial unto the children of 
is'ra-el, that no stranger, which is not «f the 
seed of Aar'on, come near to offer incense be- 
fore the 'Lord; that he be not as Ko'rah, and 
as his company: as the 'Lord said to him by the 
hand of Mo'§es. 

41 r 'But on the morrow all the congrega- 
tion of the children of is'ra-el murmured 
-"against : Mo'ses and against Aar'on, saying, 
Ye have killed the people of the 'Lord. 

42 And it came to pass, when the congre- 
gation was gathered against 2 M5'§es and 
against Aar'on, that they looked toward the 
tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, 
the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord 
appeared. 

43 And 2 Mo'ses and Aar'on came before the 
tabernacle of the congregation. 

44 r And the 'Lord spake unto 2 M6'ses, say- 
ing, 

45 Get you up from among this congrega- 
tion, that I may consume them as in a moment. 
And '•they fell upon their faces. 

46 r And 2 M6'ses said unto Aar'on, Take a 
censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, 
and put on incense, and go quickly unto the 
congregation, and make an atonement for 
them: for there is wrath gone out from the 
'Lord; the plague is begun. 

47 And Aar'on took as 2 M6'§es commanded, 



c. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against 
them, and that I may consume them, and I will make of thee a great na- 
tion. (Ex. 32:10.) 

d. In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the hreath 
of all mankind. (Job 12:10.) Then shall the dust return to the earth 
as it was; and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. (Ecc. 
12:7.) 

e. And David spake unto the Lord, when he saw the angel that 
smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wicked- 
ly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, 
be against me, and against my father's house. (II Sam 24:17.) The 
soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of 
the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the 



righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness 
of the wicked shall be upon him. (Ezek. 18:20.) 

f. For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his char- 
iots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke 
with flames of fire. (Is. 66:15.) For our God is a consuming fire. (Heb.

ceivers, and yet true. (II Cor. 6:8.)

hand stretched out over Jerusalem; then David and the elders of Israel,

CHAPTER 17. 
1 Aaron's rod among all the rods of the tribes 
only flourisheth. 10 It is left for a monu- 
ment against the rebels. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Is'ra-el, and 
take of every one of them a rod according to 
the house of their fathers, of all their princes 
according to the house of their fathers twelve 
rods: write thou every man's name upon his 
l'od. 

3 And thou shalt write Aar'on's name upon 
the rod of Le'vi: for one rod shall be for the 
head of the house of their fathers. 

4 And thou shalt lay them up in the taber- 
nacle of the congregation before the testimony, 
where I will meet with you. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's 
rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I 
will make to cease from me the murmurings 
of the children of Is'ra-el, whereby they mur- 
mur against you. 

6 If And 2 Mo'se§ spake unto the children of 
is'ra-el, and every one of their princes gave 
him a rod apiece, for each prince one, accord- 
ing to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: 
and the rod of Aar'on was among their rods. 

7 And 2 Mo'se§ laid up the rods before the 
'Lord in the tabernacle of witness. 

8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow 
2 Mo'se§ went into the tabernacle of witness; 
and, behold, the rod of Aar'on for the house of 
Le'vi was "budded, and brought forth buds, and 
bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 

9 And M6'§es brought out all the rods from 
before the 'Lord unto all the children of Is'- 
ra-el: and they looked, and took every man his 
rod. 

10 If And the 'Lord said unto 2 Mo'ses, Bring 
Aar'on's rod again before the testimony, to be 
kept for a token against the rebels: and thou 
shalt quite take away their murmurings from 
me, that they die not. 

11 And 2 M6'§e§ did so: as the 'Lord com- 
manded him, so did he. 

12 And the children of Is'ra-el spake unto 
Mo'ses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we 
all perish.

12 All the best of the oil, and all the best 
of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits 
of them which they shall offer unto the 'Lord, 
them have I given thee. 

13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, 
which they shall bring unto the 'Lord, shall be 
thine; every one that is clean in thine house 
shall eat of it. 

14 Every thing devoted in is'ra-el shall be 
thine. 

15 Every thing that openeth the ^matrix in 
all flesh, which they bring unto the 'Lord, 
whether it be of men or beasts, shall "be thine : 
nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou 
surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean 
beasts shalt thou redeem.

a. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glori- 
ous and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely, for them 
that are escaped of Israel. (Is, 4:2.) And all the trees of the field 
shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have 
exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the 
dry tree to flourish; I the Lord have spoken and have done it. (Ezek. 
17:24.) 

b. See ch. 18:4, 7. 
Chapter 18. 

a. Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the 
priest, that they may minister unto him. And they shall keep his 
charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. (Num. 
3:6, 7.) And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering 
the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set 
forward; after that the sons of Kohatb shall come to bear it; but they 



shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the bur- 
den of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. (Num. 
4:15.) 

c. And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Itha- 
mar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of 
the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside 
the altar; for it is most holy (12). And ye shall eat it in the holy place, 
because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the Lord 
made by fire; for so I am commanded. (Lev. 10:12, 13.) 

d. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of 
the sin offering, In the place where the burnt offering is killed, shall 
the sin offering be killed before the Lord; it is most holy (25). The 
priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it; in the holy place shall it be 
eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation. (Lev. 6:25, 26.) 

e. Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb 
among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. (Ex. 
13:2.)

thine estimation, for the money of five ,2 shekels, 
after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is 
twenty gerahs. 

17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling 
of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt 
not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle 
their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their 
fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet

the wave breast and as the right shoulder are

19 All the heave "offerings of the holy

thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: 
it is a ^covenant of salt for ever before the

shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither 
shalt thou have any part among them: I am 
thy part and thine inheritance among the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el.

of Le'vi all the tenth in Is'ra-el for an in- 
heritance, for their service which they serve, 
even the service of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. 

22 Neither must the children of Is'ra-el 
henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the 
congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

the tabernacle of the congregation, and they 
shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute 
for ever throughout your generations, that 
among the children of Is'ra-el they have no 
inheritance. 

24 But the tithes of the children of Is'ra-el, 
which they offer as an heave offering unto the 
'Lord, I have given to the Le'vites to inherit: 
therefore I have said unto them, Among the 
children of Is'ra-el they shall have no in-

a tenth part of the tithe.

The water of separation. 

1 And the "Lord spake unto : M6'ses and unto 
: Aar'on, saying, 

2 This is the ordinance of the law which the 
*Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the 
children of Is'ra-el, that they bring thee a 'red 
"heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, 
and upon which never came yoke: 

3 And ye shall give her unto E-le-a'zar the 
priest, that he may bring her forth without 
the camp, and one shall slay her before his 
face : 

4 And E-le-a'zar the priest shall take of her 
blood with his finger, and h sprinkle of her blood 
directly before the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion seven times: 

5 And one shall bum the heifer in his sight; 
her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her 
dung, shall he burn: 

6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and 
hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst 
of the burning of the heifer. 

7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and 
he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward 
he shall come into the camp, and the priest 
shall be unclean until the even. 

8 And he that burneth her shall wash his 
clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, 
and shall be unclean until the even. 

9 And a man that is clean shall gather up 
the ashes of the "heifer, and lay them up with- 
out the camp in a clean place, and it shall be 
kept for the congregation of the children of 
is'ra-el for a water of separation : it is a puri- 
fication for sin. 

10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the 
heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean 
until the even: and it shall be unto the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el, and unto the stranger that 
sojoumeth among them, for a statute for ever. 

11 *~ He that toucheth the dead body of any 
man shall be unclean seven days. 

12 He shall purify himself with it on the 
third day, and on the seventh day he shall be 
clean: but if he purify not himself the third 
day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 

13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any 
man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, 
defileth the tabernacle of the 'Lord; and that 
soul shall be cut off from Is'ra-el: because the 
water of separation was not sprinkled upon 
him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is 
yet upon him. 

14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a 
tent: all that come into the tent, and all that 
is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 

15 And every <~open vessel, which hath no 
covering bound upon it, is unclean. 

16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain 
with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, 
or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be un- 
clean seven days.

kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and his sons by a 
covenant of salt? (II Chr. 13:5.) 

g. And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the 
office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of (he peo- 
ple according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come 
out of the loins of Abraham (5). And here men that die receive tithes; 
but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed 'that he liveth. 
(Heb. 7:5, 8.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer 
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifleth to the purifying of the flesh (13); 
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal 



Spirit offered himself without spot to God. purge your conscience from 
dead works to serve the living God? (Heb. 9:13, 14.) For many de- 
ceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ 
is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. (II Jno. 
1:7.) 

b. And this is the law of the meat offering; the sons of Aaron shall 
offer it before the Lord, before the altar. (Lev. 6:14.) Then will I 
sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your 
filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. (Ezek. 36:25.) 

c. And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, 
it shall be unclean ; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or 
skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it 
must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it 
shall be cleansed. (Lev. 11:32.)

dip it in the ivater, and sprinkle it upon the 
tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the 
persons that tuere there, and upon him that 
touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a

enth day: and on the seventh day he shall puri- 
fy himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe 
himself in water, and shall be clean at even. 

20 But the man that shall be unclean, and 
shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut 
off from among the congregation, because he 
hath defiled the sanctuary of the 'Lord: the 
water of separation hath not been sprinkled 
upon him; he is unclean.

them, that he that sprinkleth the water of 
separation shall wash his clothes; and he that 
toucheth the water of separation shall be un-

toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that

Miriam dieth. 2 They murmur for want of 
water. 7 Moses smiting the rock bring eth

Aaron resigneth his place to Eleazar, and 
dieth.

abode in Ka'desh ; and 3 Mir'i-am died there,

king's high way, we will not turn to the right 
hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy

pass by me, lest I come out against thee with

him, We will go by the high way : and if I and 
my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay 
for it: I will only, without doing any thing 
else, go through on my feet.

sent the fiery serpents among them; 
when they repented, Moses lifted up 
the brazen serpent, upon which they 
might look and he healed. They con- 
tinued their journey, passing tbe 
southern end of Mt. Seir and the val- 
ley of Zared, and reached the banks 
of the Arnon. Beginning with v. 14, 
tbe author inserts quotations from 
the book of the wars of Jehovah. 
Vs. 14-35, the remaining portion of 
the ch., detail the history of the 
battles with Sihon, king of tbe Am- 
orites, and Og, of Bashan. 



1. Vs. 1-.1 detail the defeat oi 
King Arad. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. Vs. 4, 5 detail the compassing 
of Edom via the Red Sea. This 
march was made necessary because of 
the mountains barring the way in the 
southern Canaan. 



4. This people is the New Israel, 
which has been reared in the wilder- 
ness. Because of disobedience, their 
fathers had perished, since the sen- 
tence of exclusion from Canaan had 
I d given at Kadesh-barnea, thirty- 
eight years before. It is interesting 
to note, that though the new Israel 
Is, in many points, like the old. still 
they have received much courage and 
sufficient faith In Jehovah to enable 
them to fight their way Into Ca- 
naan. 



5. Vs. G-9 detail the account of 
the fiery serpents and the lifting up 
of the brazen serpent, by Moses. 



6. As all the plagues of Israel 
were the Intensification of natural 
evils, likewise It is claimed by most 
scholars, that these serpents were the 
serpents existing In the region of the 
Israelites' camp. They are called 
fiery, because of the rapid. Intense 
inflammation resulting from their 
bite. 



7. This verse signifies that the 
fiery serpents were not taken away 
immediately from among the people, 
but simply that a remedy was pre- 
pared, which would render harmless 
the virus in the veins of him who im- 
mediately looked upon the brazen ser- 
pent. 



8. Vs. 10-20 detail a continuation 
of the wanderings of Israel.

over Sihon and Og. 



10 1f 8 And the children of is'ra-el set for- 
ward, and pitched in O both. 

11 And they journeyed from O'both, and 
pitched at Ij-e-ab'a-rim, in the wilderness 
which is before Mo'ab, toward the sunrising. 

12 If From thence they removed, and pitcheJ 
in the valley of Za'red. 

13 From thence they removed, and pitched 
on the other side of Arnon, which is in the 
wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the 
Am'or-ites: for Ar'non is the border of Mo'ab, 
between Mo'ab and the Am'or-ites. 

14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the 
wars of the 2 Lord, What he did in the Red sea, 
and in the brooks of Ar'non, 

15 And at the stream of the brooks that 
goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth 
upon the border of Mo'ab. 

16 And from thence they went to Beer: that 
is the well whereof the 2 Lord spake unto Md'- 
ses, Gather the people together, and 'I will 
give them water. 

17 f Then ^Is'ra-el sang this song, Spring 
up, well; sing ye unto it: 

18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of 
the people digged it, by the direction of ''the 
lawgiver, with their staves. And from the 
wilderness they went to Mat'ta-nah: 

19 And from Mat'ta-nah to Na-ha'li-el: and 
from Na-ha'li-el to Ba'moth: 

20 And from Ba'moth in the valley, that is 
in the country of Mo'ab, to the top of Pis'gah, 
which looketh toward Jesh'i-mon. 

21 *~ s And Is'ra-el sent messengers unto Si'- 
hon king of the Am'or-Ites, saying, 

22 Let me pass through thy land: we will 
not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; 
we will not drink of the waters of the well: 
but we will go along by the king's high way, 
until we be past thy borders. 

23 And Si'hon would not suffer Is'ra-el to 
pass through his border: but Si'hon gathered 
all his people together, and went out against 
Is'ra-el into the wilderness: and he came to 
Ja'haz, and fought against Is'ra-el. 

24 And Is'ra-el smote him with the edge of 
the sword, and possessed his land from Ar'non 
unto Jab'bok, even unto the children of Am- 
nion : for the border of the children of Am'mon 
was strong. 

25 And Is'ra-el took all these cities: and 
Is'ra-el dwelt in all the cities of the Am'or-ites, 
in Hesh'bon, and in all the villages thereof. 

26 For Hesh'bon was the city of Si'hon the 
king of the Am'or-ites, who had fought against 
the former king of Mo'ab, and taken all his 
land out of his hand, even unto Ar'non. 

27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs 
say, Come into Hesh'bon, let the city of Si'hon 
be built and prepared: 

28 For there is 'a fire gone out of Hesh'bon, 
a flame from the city of Si'hon: it hath con- 
sumed Ar of Mo'ab, and the lords of the high 
places of Ar'non. 

29 Woe to thee, Mo'ab! thou art undone, 



Chapter 21. 

a. And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and 
will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and 
raiment to put on. (Gen. 28:20.) 

b. Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table 
in the wilderness? (Ps. 78:19.) And the children of Israel said unto 
them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land 
of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to 
the full, for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill 
this whole assembly with hunger. (Ex. 16:3.) And the mixt multi- 
tude that was among them fell a lusting; and the children of Israel also 
wept again and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? (Num. 11:4.) 

c. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and 
were destroyed of serpents. (I Cor. 10:9.) Who led thee through that 
great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpi- 
ons, and drought, where there was lo water; who brought thee forth 
water out of the rock of flint. (Dt. 8:15.) 

d. And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to 
the Lord your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; 
entreat for me. (Ex. 8:28.) And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray 
for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not; for we have 
added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king. (I Sam. 12:19.) 
Then answered Simon, and said. Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none 
of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. (Acts 8:24.) 



e. Anc". as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so 
must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in 
him should not perish, but have eternal life. (Jno. 3:14, 15.) 

f. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed 
them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God 
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev. 7:17.) 

g. Sing unto him, sic^ psalms unto him: talk ye of all his won- 
drous works. (Ps. 105:2.) Then believed they his words; they sang 
his praise. (Ps. 106:12.) 

h. For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord 
is our king; he will save us. (Is. 33:22.) There is one lawgiver, who is 
able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? (Js. 
4:12.) For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our 
king. (Ps. S9:18.) 

i. And Heshbon shall cry. and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard 
even unto Jahaz; therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out, 
his life shall be grievous unto him. (Is. 15:4.) They that fled stood 
under the shadow of Heshbon, because of the force: but a Are shall 
come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon. and 
shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the bead of the 
tumultuous ones (45). Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of 
Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters 
captives. (Jer, 48:45, 46.)

people of Che'mosh: he hath given his sons 
that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity 
unto Sl'hon king of the Am'or-ites. 

30 We have shot at them; Hesh'bon is per- 
ished even unto Di'bon, and we have laid them 
waste even unto No'phah, which reacheth unto 
Med'e-ba. 

31 II Thus Is'ra-el dwelt in the land of the 
Am'or-ites. 

32 And Mo'§e| sent to spy out Ja-a'zer, and 
they took the villages thereof, and drove out 
the Am'or-ites that were there. 

33 If And they turned and went up by the 
way of 10 Ba'shan: and 6g the king of Ba'shan 
went out against them, he, and all his people, 
to the battle at Ed're-I. 

34 And the 2 Lord said unto Mo'se§, Fear 
him not: for I have delivered him into thy 
hand, and all his people, and his land; and 
thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Si'hon 
king of the Am'or-ites, which dwelt at Hesh'- 
bon. 

35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all 
his people, until there was none left him alive : 
and they possessed his land. 

CHAPTER 22. 

1 Balak's first message for Balaam is refused. 
15 His second message obtaiyieth him. 22 An 
angel would have slain him, if his ass had 
not saved him. 36 Balak entertaineth him. 

1 And the children of Is'ra-el "set forward, 
and pitched in the 'plains of MS'ab on this side 
Jor'dan by 2 Jer'i-cho. 

2 II And Ba'lak the son of ZTp'por saw all 
that Is'ra-el had done to the Am'or-ites. 

3 And M5'ab was sore afraid of the people, 
because they were many: and Mo'ab was 
distressed because of the children of Is'ra-el. 

4 And Mo'ab said unto the elders of Mid'- 
i-an, Now shall this company lick up all that 
are round about us, as the ox licketh up the 
grass of the field. And Ba'lak the son of 
Zip'por was king of the Mo'ab-ites at that time. 

5 He sent messengers therefore unto 3ft Ba'- 
laam the son of Be'or to Pe'thor, which is by 
the river of the land of the children of his 
people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a 
people come out from E'gypt: behold, they 
cover the face of the earth, and they abide 
over against me: 

6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, e curse 
me this people; for they are too mighty for 
me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may 
smite them, and that I may drive them out of 
the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest 
is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. 

7 And the elders of Mo'ab and the elders of 
Mid'i-an departed with the ^rewards of divina- 
tion in their hand; and they came unto 3 Ba'- 
laam, and spake unto him the words of Ba'lak.

Bashan. recent explorers have discov-

cyclopean architecture is so perfectly 
preserved that the scriptural state- 
ment is confirmed, that the Rephaim 
(i. e., the giants) once flourished 
there. 



Ch. 22. B. C. 1452. 



1. Vs. 1-14 detail the first mes- 
sage to Balaam. The plains of Moab 
are a narrow strip of land about sis 
miles wide, lying alonff the eastern 
bank of the Jordan, opposite the 
plains of Jericho. Here occurred the 
wonderful story of Balaam. 



2. Here occurs the first mention 
of Jericho, "the city of palm trees." 



3. The name Balaam, means de- 
stroyer, devourer. He was one of the 
dreaded wizards, conjurers or sooth- 
sayers of his time. The title of 
prophet or seer is never applied to 
Balaam. In Josh. 13:22. he is called 
the soothsayer, a term the sacred 
scriptures never apply to a true 
prophet. Although it is evident, from 
his acquaintance with Jehovah and 
obedience to his commands, that 
he was no mere heathen soothsayer. 
He' is called by Bishop Newton, 
"This strange mixture of a man." 
The prophecies of Balaam are distin- 
guished for their dignity, compas- 
sion, vividness and imagery. They 
are, by manv, pronounced the equal 
of anything "of the latter prophets. 
The great sin for which Balaam lost 
his life was his advice to Balak to 
engage Israel in idolatry and whore- 
dom that they might offend God and 
be forsaken bv him. (Num. 24:14; 
Mic. 6:5; II Pet. 2:15; Rev. 2:14). 
This evil advice was pursued by Ba- 
lak; God commanded Moses to avenge 
the action by declaring war against 
the Armenianites. of whom many 
were slain, including five of their 
princes, among whom was Balaam. 



4 Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



5. Vs. 15-35 detail an account of 
the second message to Balaam. 



6. A statement that he would not 
go counter to the commands of Je- 
hovah for a house full of gold and sil- 
ver, although he constantly labored 
to do so for a me:e handful. A true 
picture of the covetous hypocrite. 



Lord shall speak unto me: and the princes of 
Mo'ab abode with ^Balaam. 

9 And God came unto 3 Ba'laam, and said, 
What men are these with thee? 

10 And 3 Ba'laam said unto God, Ba'lak the 
son of Zip'por, king of Mo'ab, hath sent unto 
me saying, 

11 Behold, there is a people come out of 
E'gypt, which covereth the face of the earth : 
come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall 
be able to overcome them, and drive them out. 

12 And God said unto Ba'laam, Thou shalt 
not go with them; thou shalt not curse the 
people: for they c are blessed. 

13 And 3 Ba'laam rose up in the morning,' 
and said unto the princes of Ba'lak, Get you 
into your land: for the iLord refuseth to give 
me leave to go with you. 

14 And the princes of Mo'ab rose up, and 
they went unto Ba'lak, and said, ''Ba'laam re- 
fuseth to come with us. 

15 11 D And Ba'lak sent yet again princes, 
more, and more honourable than they. 

16 $.nd they came to 3 Ba'laam, and said to 
him, Thus saith Ba'lak the son of Zip'por, Let 
nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming 
unto me: 

17 For I fwill promote thee unto very great 
honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest 
unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse 
me this people. 

18 And "Ba'laam answered and said unto the 
servants of Ba'lak, If Ba'lak would give me 
his house G full of silver and gold, #1 cannot go 
beyond the word of the 4 Lord my God, to do 
less or more. 

19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also 
here this night, that I may know what the 
Lord will say unto me more, 

20 And God came unto Ba'laam at night, 
and said unto him, If the men come to call 
thee, rise up, and go with them; but ''yet the 
word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt 
thou do. 

21 And 3 Ba'laam rose up in the morning, 
and saddled his ass, and went with the ^princes 
of Mo'ab. 

22 II And God's anger was kindled because 
he went: ^'and the angel of the 4 Lord stood in 
the way for an adversary against him. Now 
he was riding upon his ass, and his two serv- 
ants were with him. 

23 And the ass saw the ^angel of the 4 Lord 
standing in the way, and his sword drawn in 
his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the 
way, and went into the field: and Ba'laam 
smote the ass, to turn her into the way. 

24 But the Mangel of the 4 Lord stood in a 
path of the vineyards, a wall being on this 
side, and a wall on that side. 

25 And when the ass saw the angel of the 
4 Lord, she thrust herself unto the wall, and 
crushed Ba'laam's fc foot against the wall: and 
he smote her again. 



Chapter 22. 

a. And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched 
in the plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho. (Num. 33:48.) And hast 
brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, 
and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out 
arm, and with great terror. (Jer. 32:21.) 

b. Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children 
of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. 
(Josh. 13:22.) O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab 
'jonsulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from 
Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the Lord. 
(Mic. 6:5.) But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast 
there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to 
cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things 
sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. (Rev. 2:14.) 

c. See ch. 23:7. • 

d. And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift bindeth the wise, and 
perverteth the words of the righteous. (Ex. 23:8.) A wicked man 
taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. (Prov. 
17:23.) 

e. Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath 
blessed; and I cannot reverse it. (Num. 23:20.) For the gifts and call- 
ing of God are without repentance. (Rom. 11:29.) 

f. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory 



shall not descend after him. (Ps. 49:17.) For what is a man profited, 
if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what 
shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Math. 16:26.) 

g. And Mieaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto 
me, that will I speak. (I Ks. 22:14.) 

h. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought, he 
maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the 
Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 
(Ps. 33:10, 11.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel 
against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) Remember the former things of old; 
for I am God. and there is none else; I am God, and there is none 
like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient 
times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, 
and I will do all my pleasure. (Is. 46:9, 10.) 

i. Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, fol- 
lowing the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of 
unrighteousness. (II Pet. 2:15.) Woe unto them! for they have gone 
in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for 
reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. (Jude 11.1 

j. And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met 
him, and sought to kill him. (Ex. 4:24.) And the angel of the Lord

ware. (Jud. 13:13.) And for fear of him the keepers did shake, ffibd

26 And the Jangel of the 'Lord went further, 
and stood in a narrow place., where was no way 
to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 

27 And when the ass saw the angel of the 
'Lord, she fell down under Ba'laam: and Ba- 
laam's anger was kindled, and he smote the 
ass with a staff. 

28 And the 'Lord 'opened the : mouth of the 
ass, and she said unto Ba'laam, What have I 
done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these 
three times? 

29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because 
thou hast mocked me: I would there were a 
sword in mine hand, "'for now would I kill 
thee. 

30 And the ass "said unto Ba'laam, Am not 
I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever 
since I was thine unto this day? was I ever 
wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. 

31 Then the Lord °opened the eyes of Ba'- 
laam, and he saw the angel of the Lord stand- 
ing in the way. and his sword drawn in his 
hand: and he Pbowed down his head, and fell 
flat on his face. 

32 And the ^'angel of the Lord said unto 
him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass 
these three times? behold, I went out to with- 
stand thee, because thy way is sperverse be- 
fore me: 

33 And the ass saw me, and turned from 
me these three times : unless she had turned 
from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and 
saved her alive. 

34 And Ba'laam said unto the 'angel of the 
Lord, r I have sinned; for I knew not that thou 
stoodest in the way against me : now therefore. 
if it displease thee, I will get me back again. 

35 And the -'angel of the 'Lord said unto 
Ba'laam, Go with the men: but only the word 
that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt 
speak. So Ba laam went with the princes of 
Ba'lak. 

36 r "And when Ba'lak heard that Ealaam 
was come, he went out to meet him unto a 
city of Mo'ab, which is in the border of Ar'non. 
which is in the utmost coast. 

37 And Ba'lak said unto Balaam. Did I not 
earnestly send unto thee to call thee? where- 
fore earnest thou not unto me? am I not able 
indeed to promote thee to honour?

came unto Kir jath-hu'zoth. 

40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and 
sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were 
with him. 

41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
Ba'lak took Balaam, and brought him up into 
the 'high places of Baal, that hence he might 
see the utmost part of the people. 

CHAPTER 23.

1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me 
here seven altars, and prepare me here seven 
oxen and seven rams. 

2 And Balak did as 'Balaam had spoken; 
and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar 
a bullock and a ram. 

3 And 'Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by 
thy burnt ^offering, and I will go: peradven- 
ture the ; Lord will come to meet me : and what- 
soever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he 
went to an high place. 

4 And God met 'Balaam: and he said unto 
him. I have prepared seven altars, and I have 
offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 

5 And the "Lord put a word in Balaam's 
mouth, and said. Return unto Balak, and thus 
thou shalt speak. 

6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he 
stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the 
princes of M5'ab. 

7 And he took up his parable, and said, 
Balak_ the king of Mo'ab hath brought me 
from A ram, out of the mountains of the east, 
saying, Come, curse ma Ja'cob, and come, defy 
Is'ra-el. 

8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not 
cursed? s or how shall I defy, whom the 'Lord 
hath not defied? 

9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, 
and from the hills I behold him : lo, r the people 
shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned 
among the nations.

the number of the fourth part of Is'ra-ei? Let

ren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. (Ja.

written. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. (I Cor. 3:19.) 
Therefore, behold. I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a 
wall, that she shall not find her paths. (Hos. 2:6.) 

1. But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, 'With men this is 
impossible; ' but with God all things are possible. (Math. 19:26.) But 
was rebuked for his iniquity; the dumb ass speaking with man's 
voice forbade the madness of the prophet. (II Pet. 2:16.) 

m. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the ten- 
der mercies of the wicked are cruel. (Prov. 12:10.) The heart is de- 
ceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 
(Jer. 17:9.) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adul- 
teries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. (Mat. 15:19.) 

n. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to con- 
found the wise: and God hath chosen the "weak things of the world to 
confound the things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:27.) Out of the 
mouth of babes and sucklings, hast thou ordained strength because of 
thine enemies, that thou mizhtest still the enemy and the avenger. 
(Ps. 8:2.) 

o. And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water: and 
she went and filled the boitle with water, and gave the lad drink. 
(Gen. 21:19.) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and 
he vanished out of their sight. (Lu. 24:31.) And it came to pass, when 
they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of 
these men that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and 
thev saw; and, behold, thev were in the midst of Samaria, (n Ks. 
6:20.) 

p. When pride cometh. then cometh shame: but with the lowly is 
wisdom. (Prov. 11:2.) We lie down in our shame, and our confusion 
eovereth us; for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and 
our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed 
the voice of the Lord our God. (Jer. 3:25.i Pride goeth before de- 
struction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. (Prov. 16:18.) 

q. Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin: 
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous 
practices; cursed children (14). Which have forsaken the right way. 
and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor. 
who loved the wages of unrighteousness. (II Pet. 2:14. 15.) Then Jesus 
answered and said. O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall 
I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 



(Mat. 17:17.) And Jesus answering said. O faithless and per- 

eration, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son 

hither. (Lu. S:41.) 

r. Then said Saul. I have sinned; return, my son David: for J 
will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes 
this day: behold. I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. (I 
Sam. . _". And Saul said unto Samuel. I have sinned: for I have 
transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I 
feared the people, and obeyed their voice. (I Sam. '.' .-. And David 
said unto Xathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said 
unto David. The Lord also hath put away thy sins; thou shalt no: 
(II Sam. 12:13.) I have sinned: what shall I do unto thee, O thou pre- 
server of men? why hast thou set me as a "mark against thee, so that 
I am a burden to myself? (Job 7:20.) He that eovereth his sins shall 
not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have 
mercy. (Prov. 28 I 

s. And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the .Lord saith unto 
me, that will I speak. (I Ks. i- 

t. Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhab- 
itants of the land whither thou goest. lest it be for a snare in the midst 
of thee (12). But- ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and 
cut down their groves. (Ex. 34:12. 13.) Te shall utterly destroy all 
the places wherein the nations which ye shall possess serve their gods, 
upon the hiah mountains, and upon the hills, and under everv green 
tree. (Dt. 12:2.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. For purpose and design of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

b. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the 
Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) Stand now with thine enchantments, and with 
the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy 
youth: if so be. thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mavest pre- 
vail, as. 47 :_ 

c. Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob 
shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop 
down dew. (Dt. 33:2S.) For thou didst separate them from all the peo- 
ple of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand 
of Moses thv servant, when thou broushtest our fathers out of Egvpt. 
O Lord Gcd. (I Ks. S:53.) 

d. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for 
their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the 
people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath 
been cheap in this trespass. (Ezra 9:2.i

last end be like his! 

11 And Ba'lak said unto 'Balaam, What 
hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse 
mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast ^blessed 
them altogether. 

12 And he answered and said, Must I not 
take heed to speak that which the 2 Lord hath 
put in my mouth? 

13 4 And Ba'lak said unto him, Come, I pray 
thee, with me unto another place, from whence 
thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the 
utmost part of them, and shalt not see them 
all: and curse me them from thence. 

14 11 And he brought him into the field of 
Zo'phim, to the top of Pis'gah, #and built 
seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram 
on every altar. 

15 And he said unto Ba'lak, Stand here by 
thy a burnt offering, while I meet the Lord 
yonder. 

16 And the 2 Lord met Balaam, and put a 
word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto 
Ba'lak, and say thus. 

17 And when he came to him, behold, he 
stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of 
Mo'ab with him. And Ba'lak said unto him, 
''What hath the Lord spoken? 

18 And he took up his parable, and said, 
Rise up, Ba'lak, and hear; hearken unto me, 
thou son of Zip'por: 

19 God 'is not a man, that he should lie; 
neither the son of man, that he should repent: 
hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath 
he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 

20 Behold, I have received commandment to 
bless: and ■'he hath blessed; and I cannot re- 
verse it. 

21 He hath not 7c beheld iniquity in Ja'cob, 
neither hath he seen perverseness in Is'ra-el: 
the Lord his 'God is with him, and the shout 
of a king is among them. 

22 God brought them out of E'gypt; he hath 
as it were the strength of an unicorn. 

23 Surely there is no enchantment against 
Ja'cob, neither is there any divination against 
is'ra-el : according to this time it shall be said

wrought !

perity of Israel and the great power 
of the people. 



24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a 
great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion : 
he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, 
and drink the blood of the slain. 

25 H And Ba'lak said unto Ba'laam, Neither 
curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 

26 But Ba'laam answered and said unto Ba'- 
lak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord 
speaketh, that I must do? 

27 II And Ba'lak said unto Ba'laam, Come, I 
pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; 
peradventure it will please God that thou may- 
est curse me them from thence. 

28 And Ba'lak brought Ba'laam unto the top 
of Pe'or, that looketh toward Jesh'i-mon. 

29 And Ba'laam said unto Ba'lak, Build me 
here seven altars, and prepare me here seven 
bullocks and seven rams. 

30 And Ba'lak did as Ba'laam had said, and 
offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 

CHAPTER 24. 
1 Balaam prophesieth the happiness of Israel. 
10 Balak in anger dismisseth him. 15 He 
prophesieth of the Star of Jacob. 

1 And when 'Ba'laam saw that it "pleased 
the 2 Lord to bless Is'ra-el, he went not, as at 
other times, to seek for enchantments, but he 
set his face toward the wilderness. 

2 And 'Ba'laam lifted up his eyes, and he 
saw Is'ra-el abiding in his tents according to 
their tribes; and the ^spirit of God came upon 
him. 

3 And he took up his parable, and said, 
'Ba'laam the son of Be'or hath said, and the 
man whose eyes are open hath said: 

4 He hath said, which heard the words of 
God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, 
falling into a trance, but having his eyes open : 

5 'How goodly are thy tents, O Ja'cob, and 
thy tabernacles, Is'ra-el ! 

6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as 
gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign 
aloes c which the Lord hath planted, and as 
cedar trees beside the waters. 

7 He shall pour the water out of his buck- 
ets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and 
his king shall be higher than A'gag, and his 
kingdom shall be exalted. 



e. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 
(Ps. 116:15.) He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence; and 
precious shall their blood be in his sight. (Ps. 72:14.1 

f. Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with 
water, but hired Balaam against them, that he stiould curse them; 
not in the blood of bullocks; or of lambs, or of he-goats. (Is. 1:10, 11.) 

g. Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto 
the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah (10). To what purpose is 
the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord; I am full of 
the burnt offering of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight 
not in the blood of bullocks; or of lambs, or of he goats. (Is. 1:10, 11.) 

h. And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto 
thee? I pray thee hide it not from me; God do so to thee, and more 
also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto 
thee. (I Sam. 3:17.) See v. 19. 

i. And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is 
not a man, that he should repent. (I Sam. 15:29.) For I am the Lord, 
I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Mai. 
3:6.) For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. (Rom. 
11:29.) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised be- 
fore the world began. (Titus 1:2.) 

j. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, 
and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. (Gen. 12:2.) 

k. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and 
whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will 
not impute sin. (Rom. 4:7, 8.) Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiv- 
ing iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear 
the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and 
upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 
(Ex. 34:7.) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us 
our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I Jno. 1:9.) Even 
as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the 
same. (Job 4:8.) Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived 
mischief, and brought forth falsehood. (Ps. 7:14.) For it is a pleasant 
thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy 
lips. (Prov. 22:18.) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all 
thy diseases. (Ps. 103:3.) 

1. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. 
God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in 
him. (I Jno. 4:16.) Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your 
soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even 
the sure mercies of David. (Is. 55:3.) Draw nigh to God, and he will 
draw nigh to you; cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your 
hearts, ye double-minded. (Ja. 4:8.) The Lord is nigh to all them that 



call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the de- 
sire of them that fear him; he also will hear their cry, and will save 
them. (Ps. 145:18, 19.) 

m. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them 
that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee 
before the sons of men! (Ps. 31:19.) For he did put his life in his 
hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation 
for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt 
thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause? (I 
Sam. 19:5.) And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this 
day; for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel. (I Sam. 
11:13.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy serv- 
ant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord God, 
hath spoken it. . And with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be 
blessed for ever. (II Sam. 7:29.) Now therefore let it please thee to 
bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for 
thou blesseth, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever. (I. Chr. 17:27.) 
This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath 
horns and hoofs. (Ps. 69:31.) When a man's ways please the Lord, he 
maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Prov. 16:7.) But 
without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God 
must believe that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 
(Heb. 11:6.) 

b. And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of 
prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he 
prophesied among them. (I Sam. 10:10.) And Saul sent messengers to 
take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesy- 
ing, and Samuel standing as •■ ppointed over them, the Spirit of God 
was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. (I Sam. 19:20.) 
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded. (II Chr. 
15:1.) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another 
the word of knowledge by the same Spirit (8). To another -a working 
of miracles; to another prophesy; to another discerning of spirits; to 
another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. 
(I Cor. 12:8, 10.) 

c. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that 
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; 
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:3.) For he shall be as 
a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the 
river, and shall not see when he cometh, but her leaf shall be green; 
and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease 
from yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:8.)

8 God brought him forth out of Egypt: he

9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as

to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast 
altogether blessed them these three times. 

11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I 
thought to promote thee unto great honour; 
but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from 
honour.

13 If Ba'lak would give me his house full of 
silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the com- 
mandment of the Lord, to do either good or 
bad of mine own mind; but what the Lord 
saith, that will I speak? 

14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: 
come therefore, and I will advertise thee what 
this people shall do to thy people in the latter 
days. 

15 *~ 4 And he took up his parable, and said. 
Ba'laam the son of Be'or hath said, and the 
man whose eyes are open hath said: 

16 He hath said, which heard the words of 
God, and knew the knowledge of the most 
High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, 
falling into a trance, but having his eyes open : 

1? / shall see him, but not now: I shall be- 
hold him, but not nigh: there shall come a 
e Star out of Ja'cob, and a fSceptre shall rise 
out of Is'ra-el, and shall sinite the corners of 
Mo'ab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 

18 And OE'dom shall be a possession, Se'ir 
also shall be a possessio7i for his enemies; and 
Is'ra-el shall do valiantly. 

19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall 
have dominion, and shall destroy him that re- 
maineth of the city. 

20 r And when he looked on Am'a-lek, he 
took up his parable, and said, Am'a-lek was 
the first of the nations; but his latter end 
'■shall be that he perish for ever. 

21 And he looked on the Ken'Ites, and took 
up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwell- 
ingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. 

22 Nevertheless the Ken'ite shall be wasted, 
until As'shur shall carry thee away captive. 



4. Vs. 13-24 record the fourth

Jehovah's people. In the second, it

NOTE. — Balaam, having failed to 
induce Jehovah to withdraw his pro- 
tection from Israel, now with Sa- 
tanic cunning, plans the next step to 
strike at Israel's loyalty to Jehovah 
and moral purity of the people, be- 
lieving that then Jehovah will aban- 
don Israel. The daughters of Moab 
and Amalefe are made the chief 
tempters. Thousands fall into the 
trap and perish by the judgments of

turned to his place: and Ba'lak also went his 
way.

1 Israel at Shittim commit vjhoredom and idol- 
atry. 6 Phinehas killeth Zimri and Cozbi. 
10 God giveth him an everlasting priesthood. 
16 The Midianites are to be vexed. 

1 And Is'ra-el abode in 'Shit'tim, and the 
people began to "commit whoredom with the 
daughters of Mo'ab. 

2 And they called the people unto the sac- 
rifices of their gods: and the people did eat, 
and ''bowed down to their gods. 

3 And Is'ra-el joined himself unto Ba'al-pe- 
or: and the '"anger of the T^ord was kindled 
against Is'ra-el. 

4 'And the "Lord said unto 2 M5'ses, Take all 
the heads of the people, and hang them up 
before the 2 Lord against the sun, d that the 
fierce ''anger of the Lord may be turned away 
from Is'ra-el. 

5 And Mo'ses said unto the judges of Is'- 
ra-el, 'Slay \e every one his men that were 
joined unto Ba'al-pe'or. 

6 r And, behold, one of the children of Is'- 
ra-el came and brought unto his brethren a 
Mid'i-an-it-ish woman in the sight of Mo'§es, 
and in the sight of all the congregation of the 
children of Is'ra-el, who were weeping before 
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

7 And when Phin'e-has, the son of E-le-a'- 
zar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he 
rose up from among the congregation, and 
took a javelin in his hand; 

8 And he went after the man of Is'ra-el into 
the tent, and thrust both of them through, the 
man of Is'ra-el, and the woman through her 
belly. So the plague was stayed from the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el. 

9 And 'those that died in the plague were 
twenty and four thousand.

consumed not the children of Is'ra-el in my

d. Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee; be Lord 
over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee; cursed 
be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. 
(Gen. 27:29.) 

e. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a 
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not 
be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all 
these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) Saying, Where 
is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the 
east, and are come to worship him. (Mat. 2:2.) I Jesus have sent 
mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the 
root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (Rev. 
22:18.) 

f. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah. nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come: and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) The Lord shall send the rod of thy 
strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. (Ps. 
110:2.) Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy king- 
dom is a right sceptre. (Ps. 45:6.) 

g. And he put garrisons in Edom, throughout all Edom put he 
garrisons; and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the 
Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. (II Sam. 8:14.) 

h. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they 
have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and 
suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. (I Sam. 15:3.) For the ships of 
Chittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and re- 
turn, and have indignation against the holy covenant; so shall he do; 
he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the 
holy covenant. (Dan. 11:30.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, 
and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. (I Cor. 10:8.) But I 
have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that 
hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling- 



block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, 
and to commit fornication. (Rev. 2:14.) 

b. See vs. 3, 4. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve 
them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity 
of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation 
of them that hate me. (Ex. 20:5.) But I say, that the things which 
the Gentiles sacrificed, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and 1 
would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. (I Cor. 10:20.) 

c. Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions; and 
the plague brake in upon them. (Ps. 106:29.) And the anger of the 
Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. (Num. 12:9.) And 
the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into 
the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of 
Ammon. (Jud. 10:7.) Then the earth shook and trembled: the founda- 
tions of heaven moved and shook because he was wroth. (II Sam. 22:8.) 
Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly; therefore shall he leave 
his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him. 
(Hos. 12:14.) 

d. And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: 
that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee 
mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath 
sworn unto thy fathers. (Dt. 13:17.) 

e. And he said unto them. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put 
every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate, 
throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man 
his companion, and every man his neighbor. (Ex. 32:27.) 

f. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, 
and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. (I Cor. 10:8.) 

g. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and 
moved him to jealousy with their graven images. (Ps. 78:58.) For thou 
shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a 
jealous God. (Ex. 34:14.) The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man. he 
shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea. roar; he 
shall prevail against his enemies. (Is. 42:13.) For in my jealousy and 
in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surelv in that dav there shall 
be a great shaking in the land of Israel. (Ezek. 38:19.)

my covenant of peace: 

13 And he shall have it, and his seed after 
him, even the covenant of 'an everlasting 
priesthood; because he was zealous for his 
God, and made an •'atonement for the children 
of Is'ra-el. 

14 Now the name of the Is'ra-el-Ite that was 
slain, even that was slain with the Mid'i-an-

prince of a chief house among the Sim'e-on-

one of the chief purposes in the

be remembered that here there is 
an enumeration only of those who

■way before me; and the Lord, whom ye see, shall suddenly come to 
his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; 
behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) 

i. And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, 
that they may minister unto me in the priest's office; for their anoint- 
ing shall surely he an everlasting priesthood throughout their genera- 
tions. (Ex. 40:15.) For from the rising of the sun, even unto the 
going down of the same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; 
and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure 
offering; for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord 
of hosts. (Mai. 1:11.) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual 
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable 
to God by Jesus Christ (5). But ye are a chosen generation, a royal 
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show 
forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his 
marvellous light. (I Pet. 2:5, 9.) And from Jesus Christ, who is the 
faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of 
the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from 
our sins in his own blood (5), And hath made us kings and priests 
unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and 
ever. Amen. (Rev. 1:5, 6.) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou 
art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for thou 
wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every 
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (9). And hast made us 
unto our God kings and priests; and we shall reign on the earth. (Rev. 
5:9, 10.)

k. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit; therefore he 
was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. (Is. 63:10.) 
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the 
day of redemption. (Eph. 4:30.) Of how much sorer punishment, 
suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot 
the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, where- 
with he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto 
the Spirit of grace? (Heb. 10:29.)

a. See v. 63. 

b. The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them 
make them broad plates for a covering of the altar; for they offered 
them before the Lord, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be 
a sign unto the children of Israel. (Num. 16:38.) And I will set my 
face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I 
will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that 
I am the Lord. (Ezek. 14:8.) Now these things were our examples, to 
the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 
(I Cor. 10:6.) And I will deliver them to be removed into all the king- 
doms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt 
and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. (Jer. 24:9.) 

c. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the 
iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the 
son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the 
wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. (Ezek. 18:20.)

bered the children of Is'ra-el in the plains of 
Mo'ab by Jor'dan near Jer'i-cho. 

64 But among these there was not a man 
of them whom Mo'ses and Aar'on the priest 
numbered, when they numbered the children 
of Is'ra-el in the wilderness of SI'nai.

son of Je-phun'neh, and Josh'u-a the son of

land which ye shall inherit by lot. which the Lord commanded to give 
ua;o the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. (Xum. 34:13.) By lot was 
their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for 
the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. (Josh. 14:2.) 

f. And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that 
there was no man. he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 
(Ex. 2:12.) And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; 
and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram 
were an hundred and thirty and seven years. (Ex. 6:20.) 

g. And Xadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his 
censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange 
fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went 
out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, * and they died before the 
Lord. (Lev. 10:1, 2.) And Xadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when 
they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and 
they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the 



priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father. (Xum. 3:4.) And 
Xadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: there- 
fore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office. (I Chr. ;^ - 

h. Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take thee 
some of them among the children of Israel. (Xum. 1:49.) 

i. And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance 
in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy 
part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. (Xum. 18:20.) 
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren: the 
Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised him. 
(Dt. 10:9.) Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the 
sacrifices- of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as 
he said unto them. (Josh. 13:14.)

spoken in mine ears, so will i do to you. (Xum. 14:2S.) For we are

Mah'lah, No'ah, and Hog'lah, and Mil'cah, and 
Tir'zah. 

2 And they stood before M6'§e§, and before 
E-le-a'zar the priest, and before the princes 
and all the congregation, by the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 

3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he 
was not in the company of them that gathered 
themselves together against the 2 Lord in the 
company of Ko'rah; but a died in his own sin, 
and had no sons. 

4 Why should the name of our father be 
done away from among his family, because he 
hath no son? Give unto us therefore a posses- 
sion among the brethren of our father. 

5 And M6'§e§ brought their cause before 
the Lord. 

6 TAnd the 2 Lord spake unto Mos'e§, say- 
ing, 

7 The daughters of Ze-lo'phe-had speak 
right: thou shalt surely give them a posses- 
sion of an inheritance among their father's 
brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance 
of their father to pass unto them. 

8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of 
Is'ra-el, saying, If a man die, and have no 
son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass 
unto his daughter. 

9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall 
give his inheritance unto his brethren. 

10 And if he have no brethren, then ye 
shall give his inheritance unto his father's 
brethren. 

11 And if his father have no brethren, then 
ye shall give his inheritance unto his kins- 
man that is next to him of his family, and 
he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the 
children of Is'ra-el a ^statute of judgment, as 
the Lord commanded M5'ses. 

12 X "And the 2 LorVl said" unto Mo'§es, c Get 
thee up into this mount Ab'a-rim, and see the 
land which I have given unto the children of 
Is'ra-el. 

13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also 
shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aar'on 
thy brother was gathered. 

14 For ye d rebelled against my command- 
ment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the 
congregation, to sanctify me at the water be- 
fore their eyes: that is the water of Mer'i-bah 
in Ka'desh in the wilderness of Zin.

of the spirits of all flesh," to teach 
the people his perfect acquaintance 
with the mental, moral and spiritual 
characteristics of men and, therefore, 
his ability and right to select the suc- 
cessor to the leadership of Israel. The 
doctrine of distinction between mind 
and matter is clearly taught here by 
Moses. 



Ch. 28, B. C. 1452, 

NOTE. — Israel Is now soon to enter 
the promised land, and will, there- 
fore, have opportunity to erect a sta- 
tionary tabernacle and to provide 
ample facilities for the many festal 
offerings provided by the statutes. 
Knobel suggests, "It was very fitting 
that this law should be issued a short 
time before the advance into Canaan; 
for it was there first, that the Is- 
raelites were in a position to carry 
out the sacrificial worship in its full 
extent, and to observe all the sacri- 
ficial and festal laws." Special em- 
phasis is here given that the daily

thee J6sh'u-a the son of Nun, a man "in whom 
is the spirit, and lay thine_hand upon him; 

19 And set him before E-le-a'zar the priest, 
and before all the congregation; and ft give him

upon him, that all the congregation of the 
children of Is'ra-el 'may be obedient. 

21 And he shall stand before E-le-a'zar the 
priest, who shall_ ask counsel for him Rafter 
the judgment of U'rim before the Lord: at his 
word shall they go out, and at his word they 
shall come in, both he, and all the children of 
is'ra-el with him, even all the congregation. 

22 And Mo'§e§ did as the Lord commanded 
him: and he took J5sh'u-a, and set him before 
E-le-a'zar the priest, and before all the con- 
gregation : 

23 And he laid his hands upon him, and 
gave ft him a charge, as the Lord commanded

tinual burnt offering. 9 The offering on the 
sabbath, 11 on the new moons. 16 at the 
passover, 26 in the day of firstfruits. 

1 And the 'Lord spake unto 2 Mo'§e§, say- 
ing, 

2 Command the children of Is'ra-el, and 
say unto them, My "offering, and my B bread 
for my "sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet 
savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto 
me in their due 'season. 

3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the 
offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto 
the Lord; "two lambs of the first year without 
spot 8 day by day, for a w continual b burnt "of- 
fering. 

4 The one "lamb shalt thou offer in the 
morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at 
even; 

5 And a tenth part of an n ephah of flour 
for a meat "offering, mingled with the fourth 
part of an "hin °of beaten oil. 

6 It is a continual & burnt "offering, which 
was ordained in mount Si'nai for a sweet 
savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the 'Lord. 

7 And the drink "offering thereof shall be 
the fourth part of an "hin for the one lamb: 
in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong 
wine to be poured unto the 'Lord for a drink 
offering. 

8 And the a other lamb shalt thou offer at 
even: as the meat "offering of the morning, 
and as the drink "offering thereof, thou shalt 
offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet 
savour unto the 'Lord.

overthrown in the wilderness (5). Now these things were our examples, 
to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 
(I. Cor. 10:5, 6.) 

Chapter 27. 

a. I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil con- 
gregation, that are gathered together against me; in this wilderness 
they shall be consumed and there they shall die. (Num. 14:35.) For the 
wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. (Rom. 6:23.) And out of the ground made the Lord 
God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; 
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowl- 
edge .of good and evil. (Gen. 2:9.) 

b." So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you 
throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (Num. 35:29.) 

c. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes west- 
ward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with 
thine eyes; for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. (Dt. 3:27.) 

d. Also the Lord was angry With me for your sakes, saying, Thou 
also shalt not go in thither. (Dt. 1:37.) They angered him also at the 
waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sake. (Ps. 
106:32.) 

e. And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the 
spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with 
all the congregation? (Num. 16:22.) 

f. Give me now wisdom arid knowledge, that I may go out and 
come in before this people; for who can judge this thy people, that is 
so great? (II Chr. 1:10.) 

g. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as 



this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God" is? (Gen. 41:38.) And the 
Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out 
to war. And the Lord delivered Chushanrishathaim, . king of Mesopo- 
tamia, Into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim. 
(Jud. 3:10.) 

h. And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight 
of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage; for thou must go with 
this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their, fathers 
to give them; and thou shalt cause them. to inherit it. (Dt. 31:7.) And 
the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy 
with them, and shalt be turned into another man. (I Sam. 10:6.) But 
charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall 
go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land 
which thou shalt see. (Dt. 3:28.) Behold, I have given him for a wit- 
ness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. (Is. 55:4.) 

i. And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us 
we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go. (Josh. 1:16.) 

j. And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment, the Urim 
and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he 
goeth in before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the 
children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually. (Ex. 28:30.)

work therein: 

8 But ye shall offer a "burnt 'offering unto

lock, one ram. and seven l lambs of the first 
year; they shall be unto you without '^blemish: 



e. And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the Lord 
in the sabbath day shall be sis lambs without blemish, and a ram 
without blemish. (Ezek. 46:4.) 

f. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto 
you with many tears: not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might 
know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. (II Cor. 2:4.) 

g. In the 14th day of the 1st month at even is the Lord's passover. 
(Lev. 23:5.) Observe the month of Abib. and keep the passover unto 
the Lord thv God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought 
thee forth out of Egypt by night. (Dt. 16:1.) 

h. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of un- 
leavened bread unto the Lord; seven davs ve must eat unleavened 
bread. (Lev. 23:6.) 

i. But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it 
shall not be acceptable for you. (Lev. 22:20.) And if there be any 
blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou 
shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God. (Dt. 15:21.) 

j. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the 
flesh. God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for 
sin, condemned sin in the flesh. (Rom. S:3.) Neither by the blood of 
goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the 
holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Heb. 9:12.) For 
the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very im- 
age of the other things, can never with those sacrifices which they of- 
fered year bv year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. 
(Heb. 10:1.) 

k. For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are 
saved, and in them that perish. (II Cor. 2:15.1 And walk in love, as 
Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and 
a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor. (Eph. 5:2.) 

1. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your genera- 
tions at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; 
where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. (Ex. 29:42.) 

m. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh 



day shall be a feast to the Lord. (Ex. 13:6.) But ye shall offer an 
offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is 
an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. (Lev. 23:8.1 

n. And the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which 
thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in 
the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the 
field. (Ex. 23:16.) Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the 
first-fruits of all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) 

o. And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish 
of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams; they shall be 
for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering and their 
drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto the 
Lord (IS). Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goat for a sin offer- 
ing, and two lambs of the first vear for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 
(Lev. 23:18, 19.) 

Chapter 29. 

a. For the purpose and design of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

b. See f, ch. 6, Numbers. 

c. See e, ch. 6, Numbers. 

d. And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh 
month, on the 10th day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do 
no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger 
that sojoumeth among you. (Lev. 16:29.) Also on the 10th day of this 
seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy 
convocation unto you : and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an of- 
fering made by fire unto the Lord. (Lev. 23:27.) 

e. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; 
I humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer returned into mine 
own bosom. (Ps. 35:13.) Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day 
for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, 
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a 
fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord? (Is. 5S:5.) 

f. Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock or 
sheep wherein is blemish, or any evil-favoredness for that is an abom- 
ination unto the Lord thy God. (Dt. 17:1.)

ing, This is the thing which the "Lord hath 
commanded.

g. Thou shalt observe the faast of tabernacles seven days, after 
that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine. (Dt. 16:13.) In the 
seventh month, in the loth day of the month, shall he do the like in 
the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to 
the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according 
to the oil. (Ezek. 45:25.) 

h. They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and 
offered the daily burnt offerings by numbei, according to the custom, as 
the duty of every day required. (Ezra. 3:4.) And every priest standeth 
daily ministering and offering, often times the same sacrifices, which 
can never take away sins (11). But this man after he had offered one 
sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God (12). From 
henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool (13). For 
by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 
(Heb. 10:11-14.) 

i. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand 
for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest 
shall be glorious. (Is. 11:10.) In the last day, that great day of the 
feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come 
unto me and drink. (Jno. 7:37.) There remaineth therefore a rest to 
the people of God. (Heb. 4:9.) 

Chapter 30. 

a. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a 



man shall make a singular vow, the person shall be for the Lord by 
thy estimation. (Lev. 27:2.) When thou shalt vow a vow unto the 
Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it; for the Lord thy God will

thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleas- 
ure in fools; pay that which thou hast vowed. (Ecc. 5:4.) 

b. Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to 
do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and 
it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in ono 
of these. (Lev. 5:4.) And the king was sorry; nevertheless, for the 
oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded 
it to be given her. (Math. 14:9.) And they came to the chief priests 
and elders and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that 
we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. (Acts 23:14.) 

c. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, 
and thou shalt pay thy vows. (Job 22:27.) My praise shall be of thee 
in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear 
him. (Ps. 22:25.) Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto 
the Most High. (Ps. 50:14.) I will pay my vows unto the Lord now 
in the presence of all his people. (Ps. 116:14.) Behold upon the moun- 
tains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! 
O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows; for the wicked 
shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. (Nah. 1:15.)

5 So there were delivered out of the thou- 
sands of is'ra-el, a thousand of every tribe, 
twelve thousand armed for war. 

6 And Mo'ses sent them to the war, a thou- 
sand of every tribe, them and Phin e-has the 
son of E-le-a'zar the priest, to the war, with 
the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow 
in his hand. 

7 And they warred against the Mid i-an-ites. 
as the ! Lord commanded Moses; and Hhey 
slew all the males. 

8 And they slew the kings of Mid'i-an, be- 
side the rest of them that were slain; namely. 
E'vi, and Re'kem, and Zur, and Hur, and Re ba. 
five kings of Midi-an: c Ba'laam also the son 
of Be'or they slew with the sword. 

9 And the children of is'ra-el took all the 
women of Midi-an captives, and their little 
ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and 
all their flocks, and all their goods. 

10 And they burnt all their cities wherein 
they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with 
fire. 

11 And they took all the spoil, and all the 
prey, both of men and of beasts. 

12 And they brought the captives, and the 
prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and E-le-a'zar 
the priest, and unto the congregation of the 
children of is'ra-el, unto the camp at the plains 
of Mo'ab, which are by J or dan near Jer'i-cho. 

13 "~ And Moses, and E-le-a'zar the priest, 
and all the princes of the congregation, went 
forth to meet them without the camp. 

14 And Mo'ses was wroth with the officers 
of the host, with the captains over thousands, 
and captains over hundreds, which came from 
the battle. 

15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye 
saved all the women alive? 

16 Behold, these caused the children of is'- 
ra-el, through the counsel of Balaam, to com- 
mit trespass against the Lord in the matter of 
Pe'or, and there was a plague among the con- 
gregation of the 'Lord. 

17 Now therefore *kill every male among the 
little ones, and kill every woman that hath 
known man by lying with him. 

18 But all the women children, that have 
not known a man by lying with him, keep 
alive for yourselves. 

19 *And do ye abide without the camp seven 
days : whosoever hath killed any person, and 
whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both

26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, 
both of man and of beast, thou, and E-le-a'zar 
the priest, and the chief fathers of the congre- 
gation : 

27 And divide the prey into two parts; be- 
tween thein that took the war upon them, who 
went out to battle, and between all the congre- 
gration : 

28 And levy a ^tribute unto the 'Lord of the 
men of war which went out to battle: one soul 
of five hundred, both of the persons and of the 
beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep: 

29 Take it of their half, and give it unto 
E-le-a'zar the priest, for an heave offering 
of the 'Lord. 

30 And of the children of Is'ra-el's half, 
thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the per- 
sons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the 
flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them 
unto the Le'vites, which keep the charge of the 
tabernacle of the Lord._ 

31 And Mo'ses and E-le-a'zar the priest did 
as the 'Lord commanded Md'ses. 

32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey 
which the men of war had caught, was six 
hundred thousand and seventy thousand and 
five thousand sheep, 

33 And threescore and twelve thousand 
beeves, 

34 Of threescore and cne thousand asses, 

35 And thirty and two thousand persons in 
all, of women that had not known man by 
lying with him. 

36 And the half, which was the portion of 
them that went out to war, was in number 
three hundred thousand and seven and thirty 
thousand and five hundred sheep: 

37 And the 'Lord's "tribute of the sheep was 
six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 

38 And the beeves were thirty and six thou- 
sand; of which the Lord's tribute was three- 
score and twelve. 

39 And the asses were thirty thousand and 
five hundred; of which the 'Lord's tribute 
was threescore and one. 

40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; 
of which the Lord's tribute was thirty and two 
persons.

the 'Lord's heave Offering, unto E-le-a'zar the

which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the

sands of the hosts, the captains of thousands, 
and captains of hundreds, came near unto

49 And they said unto Mo'ses, Thy servants 
have taken the sum of the men of war which 
are under our charge, and there s lacketh not 
one ''man of us. 

50 We have therefore brought an oblation 
for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of 
jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, 
earrings, and tablets, 'to make an atonement 
for our souls before the Lord. 

51 And Mo'§e§ and E-le-a'zar the priest took 
the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. 

52 And "all the gold of the offering that 
they offered up to the 'Lord, of the captains of 
thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, 
was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty 
shekels. 

53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, 
every man for himself.) 

54 And Mo'ses and E-le-a'zar the priest took 
the gold of the captains of thousands and of 
hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of 
the congregation, for a memorial for the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el before the Lord. 

CHAPTER 32.

heritance on that side Jordan. 6 Moses re- 
proveth them. 16 They offer him 'conditions.

1 Now 'the children of Reu'ben and the Chil- 
dren of Gad had a very great multitude of 
cattle: and when they saw the land of Ja'zer,

was a place for cattle;

e. And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash 
his clothes, and be unclean until the even. (Lev. 11:25.) Wash me 
thoroughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. (Ps. 51:2.) 
In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David, and 
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. (Zech.. 
13:1.) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of wa- 
ter by the word. (Eph. 5:2G.) But if we walk in the light, as he is 
in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood 
of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (I Jno. 1:7.) And 
one of the elders answered, saying unto me, W T hat are these which are 
arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? (13). And I said unto 
him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me. These, are they which 
came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made 
them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:13, 14.1 

f. Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain 
the house of the Lord, fl Chr. 26:27.) And her merchandise and her 
hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid 
up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, 
to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. (Is. 23:18.) 

g. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) They say unto him. Caesar's. Then 
saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are 
Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. (Math. 22:21.) 

h. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people 
to whom thou shalt come: and I will make all thine enemies turn their 
backs unto thee. (Ex, 23:27.) And ye shall chase your enemies, and 



they shall fall before you by the sword (7). And five of you shall 
chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand 
to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword (8). 
For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply 
you, and establish my covenant with you. (Lev. 26:7-9.) He shall re- 
deem their soul from deceit and violence; and precious shall their blood 
be in his sight. (Ps. 72:14.) 

i. When thou takest a son of the children of Israel after their num- 
ber, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the Lord, 
when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when 
thou numberest them (12). And thou shalt take the atonement money of 
the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children 
of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls. (Ex. 
30:12, 16.) 

Chapter 32. 

a. And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed 
his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; 
for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. (Num. 21:24.) 

b. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth 
the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (Ja. 4:6.) For the Lord 
God is a sun and a shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no 
good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. (Ps. 84:11.) 
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus 
Christ. (Jno. 1:17.) Being justified freely by his grace through the re- 
demption that is in Christ Jesus. (Rom. 3:24.)

6 If 2 And M6'se§ said unto the children of 
Gad and to the children of Reu'ben, Shall your 
brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? 

7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of 
the children of is'ra-el from going over into 
the land which the Lord hath given them? 

8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them 
from Ka'desh-baa-'ne-a to see the land. 

9 For when they went up unto the valley of 
Esh'col, and saw the land, they discouraged 
the heart of the children of Is'ra-el, that they 
should not go into the land which the Lord had 
given them. 

10 And the ''Lord's anger was kindled the 
same time, and he sware, saying, 

11 Surely none of the men that came up out 
of E'gypt, from twenty years old and upward, 
shall see the land which I sware unto A'bra- 
ham, unto I'saac, and unto Ja'cob; because 
they have not wholly followed me: 

12 Save Caleb the son of Je-phun'neh the 
Ken'ez-ite, and J5sh'u-a the son of Nun : d for 
they have wholly followed the Lord. 

13 And the 'Lord's anger was kindled 
against is'ra-el, and he made them wander in 
the wilderness forty years, until all the genera- 
tion, that had done evil in the sight of the 
Lord, was consumed. 

14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your 
fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to 
augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord to- 
ward Is'ra-el. 

15 For if ye turn away from after him, he 
will yet again leave them in the wilderness; 
and ye shall destroy all this people. 

16 If 3 And they came near unto him, and 
said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cat- 
tle, and cities for our little ones: 

17 But ''we ourselves will go ready armed 
before the children of Is'ra-el, until we have 
brought them unto their place: and our little 
ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because 
of the inhabitants of the land. 

18 We will not return unto our houses, until 
the children of Is'ra-el have inherited every 
man his inheritance. 

19 For we will not inherit with them on yon- 
der side Jor'dan, or forward; because our

31 And the children of Gad and the children 
of Reu'ben answered, saying, As the Lord hath 
said unto thy servants, so will we do. 

32 We will pass over armed before the Lord 
into the land of Ca'naan, that the possession 
of our inheritance on this side Jor'dan may be 
our's. 

33 "And ''Mo'ses gave unto them, even to the 
children of Gad, and to the children of Reu'- 
ben, and unto half the tribe of Ma-nas'seh 
the sonof Joseph, the kingdom of Si'hon king 
of the Am'or-Ites, and the kingdom of Og king 
of Ba'shan, the land, with the cities thereof in 
the coasts, even the cities of the country round 
about. 

34T And the children of Gad built Di'bon, 
and At'a-roth, and Ar'6-er, 

35 And At'roth, Sho'phan, and Ja-a'zer, and 
Jog'be-hah, 

36 And Beth-nlm'rah, and Beth-ha'ran, 
fenced cities: and folds for sheep. 

37 And the children of Reu'ben built Hesh'- 
bon, and E-le-a'leh, and KIr-jath-a'im, 

38 And Ne'bo, and Ba'al-me'on, (their names 
being changed,) and Shib'mah: and gave other 
names unto the cities which they builded. 

39 And the children of Ma'chir the son of 
Ma-nas'seh went to Gil'e-ad, and took it, and 
dispossessed the Am'or-ite which was in it. 

40 And Mo'§es gave Gil'e-ad unto Ma'chir 
the son of Ma-nas'seh; and he dwelt therein. 

41 And Ja'ir the son of Ma-nas'seh went and 
took the small towns thereof, and called them 
Ha'voth-ja ir.

the villages thereof, and called it No'bah, after

Journeys of the Israelites. 

1 'These are the journeys of the children of 
is'ra-el, which went forth out of the land of 
E'gypt with their armies under the hand of 
Mo's?e§ and Aar'on. 

2 And Mo'ses wrote their goings out accord- 
ing to their journeys by the commandment of 
the 2 Lord: and these are their journeys ac- 
cording to their goings out. 



c. And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, 
and sware, saying.- (Dt. 1:34.) And the anger of the Lord was kindled 
against them; and he departed. (Num. 12:9.) And the anger of the 
Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the 
Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. (Jud. 10:7.) 
Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierce- 
ness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are 
thrown down by him. (Nah. 1:6.) 

d. Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him 
will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, 
because he hath wholly followed the Lord. (Dt. 1:36.) The righteous 
shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. (Ps. 37:29.) Behold, the 
righteous shall be recompensed in the earth; much more the wicked 
and the sinner. (Prov. 11:31.) 

e. And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half 
the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, 
as Moses spake unto them: About forty thousand prepared for war passed 



over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho. (Josh. 
4:12, 13.) 

f. And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God 
hath given you this land to possess it; ye shall pass over armed before 
vour brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war. 
(Dt. 3:18.) 

g. Until the Lord have given your brethren rest, as he hath given 
you, and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God 
giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and 
enjoy it, which Moses the Lord's servant gave you on this side Jor- 
dan "toward the sunrising. (Josh. 1:15.) And now the Lord your God 
hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore 
now return ve, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your 
possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other 
side Jordan. (Josh. 22:4.) 

i. Their inward thought is. that their houses shall continue for ever, 
and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after 
their own names. (Ps. 49:11.)

places: 

53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants 
of the land, and dwell therein: for e I have 
given you the land to possess it. 

54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an 
inheritance among your families: and to the 
more ye shall give the more inheritance, and 
to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: 
every man's inheritance shall be in the place 
where his lot falleth; ^according to the tribes 
of your fathers ye shall inherit. 

55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabit- 
ants of the land from before you ; then it shall 
come to pass, that those which ye let remain 
of them shall be ''pricks in your eyes, and 
thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the 
land wherein ye dwell.

a. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, 
and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel 
went out with an high hand. (Ex. 14:8.) 

h. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods; for in the 
thing wherein they dealt, proudly he was above them. (Ex. 18:11.) The 
burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall 
come into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his pres- 
ence; and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. (Is. 19:1.) 

c. But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots 
of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them en- 
camping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon. (Ex. 14:0.) 

d. And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lorr- 



stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites 
passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over 
Jordan. (Josh. 3:17.)

they that dwell therein. (Ps. 24:1.) And all the inhabitants of the earth 
are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army 
of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay 
his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? (Dan. 4:35.) 

f. Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive 
out any of these nations from, before you; but they shall be snares and 
traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, 
until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath 
given vou. (Josh. 23:13.)

6 And as for the western border, ye shall 
even have the great sea for a border : this shall 
be your west border. 

7 And this shall be your north border: from 
the great sea ye shall point out for you mount 
Hor:

shall inherit by lot, which the 'Lord com- 
manded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the 
half tribe:

b. And these are the countries which the children of Israel in- 
herited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua tbs 
son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children

dwell in with the suburbs thereof for our cattle. (Josh. 21:2.) Moreover 
when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an 
oblation unto the Lord, an holy portion of the land: the length shall 
be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds and the breadth shall 
be ten thousand. This shall be holy and all the borders thereof round 
about. (Ezek. 45:1.) And by the border" of Judah, from the east side 
unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five 



and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other 
parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall 
be in the midst of it (8). The oblation that ye shall offer unto the 
Lord shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand 
in breadth (9). And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy 
oblation: toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and to- 
ward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand 
in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and 
the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof (10). It shall 
be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, which have 
kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went 
astray, as the Levites went astray (11). And this oblation of the land 
that is offered shall be unto them, a thing most holy by the border 
of the Levites (12). And they shall not sell of it. neither exchange, nor 
alienate the first-fruits of the land: for it is holv unto the Lord. (Ezek. 
48:8-12, 14.) 

b. Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the 
sunrising. (Dt. 4:41.) Speak to the children of Israel, saying. Appoint 
out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand 
of Moses. (Josh. 20:2.) And the children of Israel gave unto the 
Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these 
cities and their suburbs (3). Thus they gave to the children of Aaron 
the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the 
slayer, and Libnah with her suburbs. (Josh. 21:3, 13.)

six cities shall ye have for refuge. 

14 Ye shall give three cities on this side

to death. 

18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon 
of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die,

the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall 
slay him. ' 

20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl 
at him by ^laying of wait, that he die; 

21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, 
that he die: he that smote him shall surely 
be put to death; for he is a murderer: the

24 Then e the congregation shall judge be-

law that uO law was ever pronounced

high priest, which was anointed with the holy 
oil. 

26 But if the slayer shall at any time come 
without the border of the city of his refuge, 
whither he was fled; 

27 And the revenger of blood find him with- 
out the borders of the city of his refuge, and 
the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall 
not be guilty of biooi: 

28 Because he should have remained in the 
city of his refuge until the death of the high 
priest: but after the death of the high priest 
the slayer shall return into the land of his 
possession. 

29 So these things shall be for a statute of 
judgment unto you throughout your genera- 
tions in all your dwellings. 

30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer 
shall be put to death by the ''mouth of wit- 
nesses: but one witness shall not testify 
against any person to cause him to die. 

31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction 
for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of 
death : but he shall be surely put to death. 

32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him 
that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he 
should come again to dwell in the land, until 
the death of the priest. 

33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein 
ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the 
land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is 
shed therein, but ^by the blood of him that 
shed it. 

34 Defile not therefore the land which ye 
shall inhabit, wherein I dwell : for ''I the Lord 
dwell among the children of Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER 36. 

1 The inconvenience of the inheritance of 
'daughters 5 is remedied by marrying in 
their own tribes, 7 lest the inheritance 
should be removed from the tribe. 

1 And the chief fathers of the families of 
the children of Gil'e-ad, tlie son of Ma'chir, 
the son of Ma-nas'seh, of the families of the 
sons of Jo'§eph, came near, and spake before 
Mo'§e§, and before the princes, the chief father 
of the children of Is'ra-el: 

2 And they said, The ^ord commanded "my 
lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot 
to the children of Is'ra-el: and my lord was 
commanded by the ^ord to give the inherit- 
ance of Ze-lo'phe-had our brother unto his 
daughters. 

3 And if they be married to any of the sons 
of the other tribes of the children of is'ra-el, 
then shall their inheritance be taken from the 
inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put 
to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they 
are received: so shall it be taken from the lot 
of our inheritance. 

4 And when 6 the jubile of the children of 
Is'ra-el shall be, then shall their inheritance 
be put unto the inheritance of the tribe where- 
unto they are received: so shall their inherit- 
ance be taken away from the inheritance of 
the tribe of our fathers. 



c. And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. (Lev. 
24:17.) But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and 
rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into 
one of these cities (11) : Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch 
him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that 
he may die. (Dt. 19:11, 12.) 

d. But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him 
with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die. (Ex. 
21:14.) 

e. And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the con- 
gregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall 
be in those days; then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own 
city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled. (Josh. 
20:6.) 

f. At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that 
is worthy of death he put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he 
shall not be put to death. (Dt. 17:6.) But if he will not hear thee, 
then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or 
three witnesses every word may be established. (Mat. 18:16.) He that 
despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses. 
(Heb. 10:28.) 



g. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: 
for in the image of God made he man. (Gen. 9:6.) 

h. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their 
God. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought 
them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them; I 
am the Lord their God. (Ex. 29:45, 46.) And what agreement hath the 
temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as 
God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be 
their God, and they shall be my people. (II Cor. 6:16.) 

Chapter 36. 

a. Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to 
the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. (Num. 26:55.) 
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance -among your fam- 
ilies; and 'to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the 
fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall 
be in the place where his lot falleth: according to the tribes of your 
fathers ye shall inherit. (Num. 33:54.) 

b. And ye shall hallow the 50th year, and proclaim liberty through- 
out all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee 
unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye 
shall return every man unto his family. (Lev. 25:10.)

5 And Mo'§es commanded the children of 
is'ra-el according to the word of the 'Lord, 
saying, The tribe of the sons of : J6'seph hath 
said well. 

6 This is the thing which the J Lord doth 
command concerning the daughters of Ze-lo'- 
phe-had, saying, Let them marry to whom they 
think best; only to the family of the tribe of 
their father shall they marry. 

7 So shall not the inheritance of the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el remove from tribe to tribe: for 
every one of the children of is'ra-el shall keep 
himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his 
fathers. 

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an 
inheritance in any tribe of the children of 
is'ra-el, shall be wife unto one of the family 
of the tribe of her father, that the children 
of is'ra-el may enjoy every man the inherit- 
ance of his fathers. 



2. Nominally speaking, there was 
no tribe of Joseph, but really two 
tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, so 
that Joseph was treated as the first- 
born so far as the inheritance was 
concerned. (W.) 



9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from 
one tribe to another tribe; but every one of 
the tribes of the children of is'ra-el shall keep 
himself to his own inheritance. 

10 Even as the 'Lord commanded Moses, so 
did the daughters of Ze-16'phe-had : 

11 For Mah'lah, Tir'zah, and Hog'lah, and 
Mil'cah, and Noah, the daughters of Ze-16'- 
phe-had, were married unto their father's 
brothers' sons: 

12 And they were married into the families 
of the sons of Ma-nas'seh the son of Jo'seph, 
and their inheritance remained in the tribe of 
the family of their father. 

13 These are the commandments and the 
judgments, which the Lord commanded by the 
hand of M5'ses unto the children of is'ra-el 
in the plains of Mo ab by Jor'dan near Jer- 
i-cho. 



THE FIFTH BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED 

DEUTERONOMY 



NOTE. — The name Dt. means repetition or copy of the law. By some scholars Dt. has been styled "reformulated, previous laws." The purpose of 
the book was to be a people's hand-book of Hebrew Law: It was Intended to be popular and not technical end was publicly read before the assembled 
people once every seven years at the Feast of Tabernacles, that everyone might clearly know and understand what should and should not be done. Popu- 
lar hand-books of the law are quite common in the present age, but were quite uncommon at that time and for thousands of years afterward; which is 
taken as proof that the author was divinely guided in thus being so far in advance of his times. The language is not that of a mere law-giver but of 
an orator, a poet and a sympathetic preacher. The love and affection of Jehovah toward the nation collectively, as distinguished from his love toward 
individuals, is a special feature. Again and again love and devotion to Jehovah are Insisted upon as the true foundation for all human action. Upon this 
book is largely founded the N. T. doctrine, "God so loved the world," etc. Another feature of the book is that the people of Jehovah are holy unto him 
and cannot, therefore, join themselves to other gods (eh. 7:6). It is to be observed that the Book of Dt. produces in the mind of the reader a far dif- 
ferent impression from the other books of the law; which difference is chiefly due to the spiritual tone and the constant appeal to the emotions. In Dt. 
the thought is ever held before the reader that God is ever present and his law within man's heart (Dt. 30:11-14). Also that man's relation to God is 
most truly expressed by love (Dt. 6:5; 10:12). 

Dt. has been called the Gospel of the law, but little attention is paid to the form of worship; It seeks chiefly to establish the worship of one God 
(ch. 6:4). It not only demands the absolute destruction of all heathen gods but also enjoins the putting away of all visible representations of Jehovah 
(ch. 4:15). 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 Moses rehearseth the story 6 of God's 
promise, 19 of sending the spies to search 
the land, 34 of God's anger for their incre- 
dulity, 41 and disobedience. 

1 'These be the words which- Mo'se§ spake 
unto all Is'ra-el on this side Jor'dan in the 
wilderness, in the plain over against the Red 
sea, between Pa'ran, and To'phel, and La'ban, 
and Ha-ze'roth, and Diz'a-hab. 

2 = (There are eleven days' journey from 
Ho'reb by the way of mount Se'ir unto Ka'- 
desh-bar'ne-a.) 

3 And it came to pass in the "fortieth year, 
in the eleventh mcnth, on the first day of the 
month, that Mo'ses spake unto the children of 
is'ra-el, according unto all that the Lord had 
given him in commandment unto them; 

4 After he had slain Si'hon the king of the 
Am'or-ites, which dwelt in Hesh'bon, and Og 
the king of Ba'shan, which dwelt at As'ta- 
roth in Ed're-i: 

5 On this side Jor'dan, in the land of Mo'ab, 
began M6'se§ to declare this law, saying, 

6 3 The 4 Lord our God spake unto us in r 'Ho'- 
reb, saying, Ye have dwelt long ^enough in this 
mount: 

7 Turn f you, and take your journey, and go 
to the mount of the Am'or-ites, and unto all 
the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the 
hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by 
the sea side, to the land of the Ca'naan-ites, 
and unto Leb'a-non, unto the great river, the 
river Eu-phra'tes. 

8 Behold, I have set the land before you : go 
in and possess the land which the 4 Lord sware 
unto your fathers, A'bra-ham, I'saac, and Ja'- 
cob, to give unto them and to their seed after 
them. 

9 H 6 And I spake unto you at that time, say- 
ing, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 

10 The 4 Lord your God hath multiplied you, 
and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of 
heaven for multitude.

1. Vs. 1, 2 form a connecting link 
between Dt. and the preceding books. 



2. According to v. 2, the journey 
to the promised land is only II days 
distant, yet, owing to the people's re- 
bellion, they wandered in the wilder- 
ness 40 years before allowed to enter 
the promised land. 



3. Beginning with v. 6 and extend- 
ing to v. 40 of ch. 4, Moses addresses 
the people with the promised land in 
their sight. Moses reviews the in- 
cidents of their journey from Horeb 
to the plains of Moab. He calls to 
their mind how rebellious they have 
been, how faithful Jehovah has been, 
and how, because of their sins, they 
were kept wandering in the wilder- 
ness forty years, and then pleads 
with them not to continue their trans- 
gressions and thus forfeit the prom- 
ised land.

God.

which Sinai is the summit, on which

ment of judges and the assignment of

11 (The 4 Lord God of your fathers make you 
a thousand times so many more as ye are, and 
bless you, d as he hath promised you!) 

12 How can I myself alone bear your cum- 
brance, and your burden, and your strife? 

13 Take you wise men, and understanding, 
and known among your tribes, and I will make 
them rulers over you. 

14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing 
which thou hast spoken is good for us to do. 

15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise 
men, and known, and made them heads over 
you, captains over thousands, and captains 
over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and 
captains over tens, and officers among your 
tribes. 

16 And I charged your judges at that time, 
saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, 
and c judge righteously between every man and 
his brother, and the f stranger that is with him. 

17 e Ye shall not respect persons in judg- 
ment; but ye shall hear the small as well as 
the great; ye shall "not be afraid of the face 
of man ; for the ''judgment is God's : and the 
cause that is too hard for you, 4 bring it unto 
me, and I will hear it. 

18 And I commanded you at that time all 
the things which ye should do. 

19 H And when we departed from Ho'reb, we 
J'went through all that great and terrible wil- 
derness, which ye saw by the way of the moun- 
tain of the Am'or-ites, as the Lord our God 
commanded us; and we came to Ka'desh-bar'- 
ne-a. 

20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto 
the mountain of the Am'or-ites, which the 
4 Lord our God doth give unto us. 

21 Behold, the 4 Lord thy God hath set the 
land before thee: go up and possess it, as the 
4 Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; 
A 'fear not, neither be disceuraged. 

22 If And ye came near unto me every one of 
you, and said, We will send men before us, 
and they shall search us out the land, and 
bring us word again by what way we must go 
up, and into what cities we shall come. 



Ref. Deuteronomy. Chapter 1. 

a. And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor, at the command- 
ment of the Lord and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of 
Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day o£ the fifth 
month. (Num. 33:38.) 

b. In the third month when the children of Israel were gone forth 
out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of 
Sinai. (Ex. 19:1.) 

c. Turn you at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto 
you. I will make known my words unto you. (Prov. 1:23.) Turn thou 
us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of 
old. (Lam. 5:21.) Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith 
the Lord God, Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn 
away your faces from all your abominations. (Ezek. 14:6.) For I have 
no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God; where- 
fore turn yourselves, and live ye. (Ezek. 18:32.) Nevertheless, if thou 
warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from 
his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 
(Ezek. 33:9.) 

d. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will 
multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is 
upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. 
(Gen. 22:17.) 

e. Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judg- 
ment. (Jno. 7:24.) These things also belong to the wise. It is not good 
to have respect of persons in judgment. (Prov. 24:23.) Ye judge after 



the flesh; I judge no man. (Jno. 8:15.) But the Lord said unto Sam- 
uel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature be- 
cause I have refused him; for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for 
man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the 
heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do; 
for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the 
judgment. (II Chr. 19:6.) 

f. Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for 
one of your own country; for I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 24:22.) 

g. To have respect to persons is not good; for, for a piece of bread 
that man will transgress. (Prov. 28:21.) 

h. And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do; for ye judge not 
for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. (II Chr. 
19:6.) 

i. And they judged the people at all seasons; the hard causes they 
brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. 
(Ex. 18:26.)' 

j. And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilder- 
ness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. (Num. 
10:12.) Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, where- 
in were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no 
water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint. (Dt. 8:15.) 

k. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; 
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with 
thee whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:9.) The Lord is my light and 
my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life,

23 And the saying pleased me well: and 1 
took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: 

24 And they turned and went up into the 
mountain, and came unto the valley of Esh col, 
and searched it out. 

25 And they took of the fruit of the land in 
their hands, and brought it down unto us, and 
brought us word again, and said, It is a good 
land which the 'Lord our God doth give us. 

26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but 
rebelled against the commandment of the 'Lord 
your God: 

27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, 
Because the 4 Lord 'hated us,_he hath brought 
us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver 
us into the hand of the Am'or-Ites, to destroy 
us. 

28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren 
have "'discouraged our heart, saying, "The 
people is greater and taller than we; the cities 
are great and walled up to heaven; and more- 
over we have seen the sons of the An'a-kims 
there. 

29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither 
be ; 'afraid of them. 

30 The 4 Lord your '-God which goeth before 
you, he shall fight for you, according to all 
that he did for you in E'gypt before your eyes; 

31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast 
seen how that the 'Lord thy God ^bare thee, as 
a man doth bear his son, in all the way that 
ye went, until ye came into this place. 

32 Yet in this thing sye did not believe the 
'Lord your God, 

33 Who went in the way before you, r to 
search you out a place to pitch your tents in, 
in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye 
should go, and in a cloud by day. 

34 And the "Lord heard the voice of your 
words, and was wroth, and sware. saying, 

35 Surely there shall not one of these men

which I sware to give unto your fathers, 

36 Save Caleb the son of Je-phtin'neh; he 
shall see it, and to him will I give the land 
that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, 
because he hath wholly followed the *Lord. 

37 Also the 'Lord was ? angry with me for 
vour sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in 
thither. 

38 But "Josh'u-a the son of Xun, which 
Ftandeth before thee, he shall go in thither:

40 But as for you, turn you, and take your 
journey into the wilderness by the way of the 
Red sea. 

41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We 
have sinned against the 'Lord, we will go up 
and fight, according to all that the 'Lord our 
God commanded us. And when ye had girded 
on every man his weapons of war, ye were 
ready to go up into the hill. 

42 And the 'Lord said unto me, Say unto 
them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not 
among you; lest ye be smitten before your 
enemies. 

43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not 
hear, but rebelled against the commandment 
of the Lord, and went presumptuously up into 
the hill. 

44 And the Am'or-ites. which dwelt in that 
mountain, came out against you. and chased 
you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Se'ir. 
even unto Hor man. 

45 And ye returned and wept before the 
Lord; 'but the Lord would not hearken to your 
voice, nor give ear unto you. 

46 So ye abode in Ka desh many days, ac- 
cording unto the days that ye abode there. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 The story is continued, that they were not 
to meddle with the Edomites, 9 nor 
the Moabites. 17 nor xcith the Ammonites, 
24 but Slhon the Amorite was subdued by 
them. 

1 Then we turned, and took our journey 
into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, 
as the "Lord spake unto me: and we com- 
passed mount Se'ir many days. 

2 And the "Lord spake unto me, saying, 

3 Ye have compassed this mountain long 
enough: turn you northward. 

4 And command thou the people, saying. Ye 
are to pass through the coast of your brethren 
the children of E'sau, which dwell in Se'ir; 
and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good 
heed unto yourselves therefore: 

5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give 
you of their land, no, not so much as a foot 
breadth; because fl I have given mount Se'ir 
unto Esau for a possession. 

6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, 
that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water 
of them for money, that ye may drink.

in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy 
walking through this great wilderness: these 



cf whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) Be not afraid of their faces: 
for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) The 
Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Ex. 14:14.) In 
what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye 
thither* unto us: our God shall fight for us. (Xeh. 4:20.) For the Lord 
your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your 
enemies, to save you. (Dt. 20:4.) 

1. Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say. Because the 
Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised 
them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to siay 
them in the wilderness. (Dt. 9:28.) 

m. And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt. 
neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: 
for the Lord vour God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth be- 
neath. (Josh. "2:11.) 

n. But the men that went up with him said. We be not able to go 
up against the people: for they are stronger than we (31). And there 
-we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and 
■we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

forty years the 'Lord thy God hath been with 
thee; thou hast lacked nothing. 

S And when we passed by from our brethren 
the children of E sau, which dwelt in Se'ir, 
through the way of the plain from E'lath, and 
from E'zi-on-ga ber, we turned and passed by 
the way of the wilderness of Mo'ab. 

9 And the 'Lord said unto me, Distress not 
the Mo'ab-ites, neither contend with them in 
battle: for I will not give thee of their land 
for a possession; because I have given Ar unto 
the children of Lot for a possession. 

10 The E'mims dwelt therein in times past, 
a people great, and many, and tall, as the 
An'a-kims ; 

11 Which also were accounted giants, as the 
An'a-kims; but the Mo'ab-ites call them 
E'mims. 

12 The Ho'rims also dwelt in Se'ir before- 
time; but the children of E'sau succeeded them, 
when they had destroyed them from before 
them, and dwelt in their stead; as Is'ra-el did 
unto the land of his possession, which the Lord 
gave unto them. 

13 Now rise up, = said I, and get you over the 
'brook Ze'red. And we went over the brook 
Ze'red. 

14 And the snace in which we came from 
Ka'desh-bar'ne-a, until we were come over the 
brook Ze'red, was thirty and eight years; until 
all the generation of the men of war were 
wasted out from among the host, as the 2 Lord 
sware unto them. 

15 For indeed the 6 hand of the 2 Lord was 
against them, to destroy them from among the 
host, until they were consumed. 

16 *~ So it came to pass, when all the men 
of war were consumed and dead from among 
the people, 

17 That the 2 Lord spake unto me, saying, 

18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the 
coast of M5'ab, this day: 

19 And when thou comest nigh over against 
the children of Am'mon, distress them not, nor 
meddle with them: for I will not give thee of 
the land of the children of Am'mon any pos- 
session; because I have given it unto the chil- 
dren of Lot for a possession. 

20 (That also was accounted a land of 
giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and 
the Am'mon-ites call them = Zam-zum'mims ; 

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as 
the An'a-kims; but the 2 Lord destroyed them 
before them; and they succeeded them, and 
dwelt in their stead: 

22 As he did to the children of E'sau, which 
dwelt in Se'ir, when he destroyed the HS'rims 
from before them; and they succeeded them, 
and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:_ 

23 And the A'vims which dwelt in Ha-ze'- 
rim, even unto Az'zah, the Caph'to-rims, which 
came forth out of Caph'tor, destroyed them, 
and dwelt in their stead.) 

24 f "Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass 
over the river Ar'non : behold, I have given into 
thine hand Si'hon the Am'or-ite, king of Hesh'- 
bon, and his land: begin to possess it, and con- 
tend with him in battle. 

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of 
thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that 
are under the whole heaven, who shall hear 
report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in 
anguish because of thee.

26 IT And I sent messengers out of the wil- 
derness of Ked'e-moth unto Si'hSn king of 
Hesh'bSn with words of peace, saying, 

27 'Let me pass through thy land: I will 
go along by the high way, I will neither turn 
unto the right hand nor to the left. 

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that 
I may eat; and give me water for money, that 
I may drink: only I will pass through on my 
feet; 

29 (As the children of E'sau whim dwell in 
Se'ir, and the Mo'ab-ites which dwell in Ar, 
did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jor'dan 
into, the land which the Lord our God giveth 
us. 

30 But Si'hSn king of Hesh'bon would not 
let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hard- 
ened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, 
that he might deliver him into thy hand, as 
appeareth this day. 

31 And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I 
have begun to give Si'hon and his land before 
thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest in- 
herit his land. 

32 Then Si'hon came out against us, he and 
all his people, to fight at Ja'haz. 

33 And the Lord our God ^delivered him be- 
fore us; and we smote him, and his sons, ami 
all his people. 

34 And we took all his cities at that time, 
and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, 
and the little ones, of every city, we left nona 
to remain : 

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto 
ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we 
took. 

36 From Ar'6-er, which is by the brink of 
the river of Ar'nSn, and_ from the city that is 
by the river, even unto Gil'e-ad, there was not 
one city too strong for us: c the Lord our Go.l 
delivered all unto us: 

37 Only unto the land of the children of 
Am'mon thou earnest not, nor unto any place 
of the river Jab'bok, nor unto the cities in the 
mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our 
God forbad us. 

CHAPTER 3.

bigness of his bed. 12 The distribution of

prayer to enter into the land. 26 He is per- 
mitted to see it. 

1 ^hen we turned, and went up the way to 
Ba'shan: and Og the king of Ba'shan came out 
against us, he and all his people, to battle at 
Ed're-L 

2 And the 2 Lord said unto me, "Fear him 
not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, 

i and his land, into thy hand ; and thou shalt 

i do unto him as thou 6 didst unto Si'hSn king 

of the Am'or-Ites, which dwelt at Hesh'bon. 

3 So the "Lord our God delivered into our 
hands 6g also, the king of Ba'shan, and all his 
people: and we smote him until none was left 
to him remaining. 

4 And we took all his cities at that time, 
there was not a city which we took not from 
them, threescore cities, all the region of 3 Ar'- 
gob, the kingdom of Og in Ba'shan. 

5 All these cities were fenced with hia:h 
walls, gates, and bars ; beside un walled towns 
a great many. 



b. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years 
in trouble. (Ps. 78:33.) Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, 
to overthrow them in the wilderness. (Ps. 106:26.) 

c. And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, 
saying. (Num. 21:21.) 

d. And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou 
shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no cove- 
nant with them, nor show mercy unto them. (Dt. 7:2.) 

e. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, 
neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine 
arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor 
unto them. (Ps. 44:3.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; 



be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with 
thee whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:9.) The Lord is my light and 
my salvation: whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life: 
of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) Be not afraid of their faces: 
for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) The Lord 
shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Ex. 14:14.) In what 
place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither 
unto us. Our God shall fight for us. (Neh. 4:20.) For the Lord your 
God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, 
to save you. (Dt. 20:4.) 

b. And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed 
his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for 
the border of the children of Ammon was strong. (Num. 21:24.)

6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did 
unto Si'hon king of Hesh'bon, utterly destroy- 
ing the men, women, and children, of every 
city. 

.7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the 
cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 

8 And we took at that time out of the hand 
of the two kings of the Am'or-ites the land 
that was on this side Jor'dan, from the river 
of Ar'non unto mount Her'mon; 

9 (Which Her'mon the Si-do'ni-ans call Sir'- 
i-6n; and the Am'or-ites call it She'nir;) 

10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gil'- 
e-ad, and all Ba'shan, unto Sal'chah and Ed'- 
re-i, cities of the kingdom of Og in Ba'shan. 

11 For only Og king of Ba'shan remained of 
the 'remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead 
was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath 
of the children of Am'mon? nine cubits was the 
length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of 
it, after the cubit of a man. 

12 'And this land, which we possessed at 
that time, from Ar'6-er, which is by the river 
Ar'non, and half mount Gil'e-ad, and the cities 
thereof, gave I unto the Reu'ben-ites and to 
the Gad'ites. 

13 And the rest of Gil'e-ad, and all Ba'shan, 
being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half 
tribe of Ma-nas'seh; all the region of Ar'gob, 
with all Ba'shan, which was called the land of 
giants. 

14 Ja'ir the son of Ma-nas'seh took all the 
country of Ar'gob unto the coasts of Gesh'u-ri 
and Ma-ach'a-thx ; and called them after his 
own name, Ba'shan-ha'voth-ja'ir, unto this day. 

15 And I gave Gil'e-ad unto Ma'chir. 

16 And unto the Reu'ben-ites and unto the 
Gad'ites I gave from Gil'e-ad even unto the 
river Ar'non half the valley, and the border 
even unto the river Jab'bok, which is the bor- 
der of the children of Am'mon; 

17 The plain also, and Jor'dan, and the 
coast thereof, from Chin'ne-reth even unto the 
sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ash'- 
doth-pis'gah eastward. 

18 U And I commanded you at that time, say- 
ing, The "Lord your God hath given you this 
land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed 
before your brethren the children of Is'ra-el, 
all that are meet for the war. 

19 But your wives, and your little ones, and 
your cattle, (for I know that ye have much 
cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have 
given you; 

20 Until the : Lord have given rest unto your 
brethren, as well as unto you, and until they 
also possess the land which the : Lord your 
God hath given them beyond Jor'dan : and then 
shall ye d return every man unto his possession, 
which I have given you. 

21 *~ 5 And I commanded J6sh'u-a at that 
time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the 
Lord your God hath done unto these two kings : 
so shall the 2 Lord do unto all the kingdoms 
whither thou passest.

22 Ye shall not "fear them: for the "Lord

23 And I besought the : Lord at that time, 
saying, 

24 Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy 
servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: 
for what God is there in heaven or in earth, 
that can do according to thy works, and accord- 
ing to thy might? 

25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the 
good land that is beyond Jor'dan, that goodly 
mountain, and Leb'a-non. 

26 But the L Lord was wroth with me for 
your sakes, and would not hear me: and the 
Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak 
no more unto me of this matter. 

27 Get thee up into the top of Pis'gah, and 
lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, 
and southward, and eastward, and behold it 
with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over 
this Jor'dan. 

28 But charge J6sh'u-a, and encourage him, 
and strengthen him : for he shall go over be- 
fore this people, and he shall cause them to 
inherit the land which thou shalt see. 

29 So we abode in the valley over against 
Beth-pe'or. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 An exhortation to obedience. 41 Moses a/>. 
pointeth the three cities of refuge en that 
side Jordan. 

1 Now therefore heaken, O is'ra-el, unto the 
"statutes and unto the judgments, which I 
teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, 
and go in and possess the land which the "Lord 
God of your fathers giveth you. 

2 Ye shall not ''add unto the word which I 
command you, neither shall ye diminish ought 
from it, that ye may keep the commandments 
of the : Lord your God which I command you. 

3 Your eyes have seen what the 'Lord did 
because of Ba'al-peor: for all the men that 
followed Ba'al-peor, the Lord thy God hath 
destroyed them from among you. 

4 But ye that did °cleave unto the Lord your 
God are alive every one of you this day. 

5 Behold. I have taught you statutes and 
"judgments, even as the Lord my God com- 
manded me, that ye should do so in the land 
whither ye go to possess it. 

6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is 
d your wisdom and your understanding in the 
sight of the nations," which shall hear all these 
statutes, and say. Surely this great nation is 
a wise and understanding people. 

7 For what nation is there so great, who 
hath f God so nigh unto them, as the 'Lord our 
God is in all things that we call upon him 
for? 

8 And what nation is there so great, that 
hath statutes and judgments so righteous as 
all this law, which I set before you this day? 

9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy 
soul diligently, "lest thou forget the things 



c. Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was 
like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks: yet I de- 
stroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. (Amos 2:9.) 

d. And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren, 
as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your 
tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant 
of the Lord gave you on the other side Jordan. (Josh. 22:1.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, 
which if a man do, he shall even live in them. (Ezek. 20:11.) For 
Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man 
which doeth those things shall live by them. (Rom. 10:5.) And what 
nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous 
as all this law, which I set before you this day? (Dt. 4:8.) 

b. What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt 
not add thereto, nor dimmish from it. (Dt. 12:32.> Add thou not unto 
his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. (Prov. 30:6.) 
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the command- 
ments of men. (Math. 15:9.) For I testify unto every man that heareth 
the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these 
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this 
book. (Rev. 22:18.) 

c. But cleave unto the Lord your God, as ye have done unto this 
day. (Josh. 23:8.) Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of 



God. was glae\ and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they 
would cleave unto the Lord. (Acts 11:23.) Thou shalt fear the Lord 
thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and 
swear by his name. (Dt. 10:20.) 

d. And unto man he said. Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is 
wisdom: and to depart from evil is understanding. (Job. 28:28.) The 
law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the 
Lord is sure, making wise the simple: (Ps. 19:7.) And that from a 
child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make 
thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (II 
Tim. 3:15.) 

e. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 
(Ps. 46:1.) The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to 
all that call upon him in truth. (Ps. 145:18.) 

f. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth 
understanding: (Prov. 3:13.) For I know him, that he will command 
his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way 
of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon 
Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. (Gen. 18:19.) And thou 
shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them 
when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way. 
and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Dt- 6:7.) Train 
up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not 
depart from it. (Prov. 22:6.) And, ye fathers, provoke not your chii-

which thine eyes have seen, and lest they de-^ 
part from thy heart all the days of thy life: 
but ^ teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; 

10 Specially the day that thou stoodest be- 
fore the 1 Lord thy God in Ho'reb, when the 
'Lord said unto me, Gather me the people to- 
gether, and -I will make them hear my words, 
that they may learn to fear me all the days 
that they shall live upon the earth, and that 
they may teach their children. 

11 And ye came near and stood under the 
mountain; and the mountain burned with fire 
unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, 
clouds, and thick darkness. 

12 And the 'Lord spake unto you out of the 
midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the 
words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard 
a voice. 

13 And he declared unto you his covenant, 
which he commanded you to perform, even ten 
commandments; and he wrote them upon two 
tables of stone. 

14 If And the 'Lord commanded me at that 
time to teach you statutes and "judgments, 
that ye might do them in the land whither ye 
go over to possess it. 

15 2 Take ye therefore good heed unto your- 
selves; for ye saw no manner of ^similitude on 
the day that the 'Lord spake unto you in 'Ho'- 
reb out of the midst of the fire: 

16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you 
a graven image, ''the similitude of any figure, 
the likeness of male or female, 

17 The likeness of any beast that is on the 
earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that 
fiieth in the air, 

18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth 
on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is 
in the waters beneath the earth: 

19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto 
heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the 
moon, and the stars, even all the host of 
heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, 
and serve them, winch the 'Lord thy God hath 
divided unto all nations under the whole 
heaven. 

20 But the 'Lord hath taken you, and 
brought you forth out of the iron furnace, 
even out of E'gypt, to be unto him a people 
of inheritance, as ye are this day. 

21' Furthermore the 'Lord was angry with 
me for your sakes, and sware that I should not 
go over Jor'dan, and that I should not go in 
unto that good land, which the 'Lord thy God 
giveth thee for an inheritance: 

22 But I must die in this land, I must not

go over Jor'dan: but ye shall go over, and 
possess that good land. 

23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget 
the covenant of the 'Lord your God, which he 
made with you, and make you a 'graven im- 
age, or the likeness of any thing, which the 
'Lord thy God hath forbidden thee. 

24 For the •'Lord thy God is a consuming 
fire, even a ''jealous God. 

25 If 4 When thou shalt beget children, and 
children's children, and ye shall have remained 
long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, 
and make a graven image, or the likeness of 
any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of 
the 'Lord thy God, to 'provoke him to anger: 

26 I call '"heaven and earth to witness 
against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly 
perish from off the land whereunto ye go over 
Jor'dan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your 
days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 

27 And the 'Lord shall Scatter you among 
the nations, and ye shall be left few in num- 
ber among the heathen, whither the Lord shall 
lead you. 

28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work 
of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither 
see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 

29 But if from thence thou "shalt seek the 
'Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou 
seek him with all thy heart and with all thy 
soul. 

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all 
these things are come upon thee, even in the 
latter days, if thou turn to the 'Lord thy God, 
and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 

31 (For the 'Lord thy God is a merciful 
God;) °he will not forsake thee, neither des- 
troy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy 
fathers which he sware unto them. 

32 For ask now of the days that are past, 
which were before thee, since the day that 
God created man upon the earth, and ask 
from the one Pside of heaven unto the other, 
whether there hath been any such thing as this 
great thing is, or hath been heard like it? 

33 Did ever people hear the voice of God 
speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou 
hast heard, and live? 

34 Or hath God assayed to go and take 
him a nation from the midst of another nation, 
by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and 
by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a 
stretched out arm, and by great terrors, ac- 
cording to all that the Lord your God did for 
you in E'gypt before your eyes? 

35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou might- 



dren to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of 
the Lord. (Eph. 6:4.) 

g. To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye com- 
pare unto him? (Is. 40:18.) God that made the world and all things 
therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in 
temples made with hands (24) : Forasmuch then as we are the off- 
spring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto 
gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. (Acts 
17:24, 29.) 

h. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image 
made like to corruptible men, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, 
and creeping things. (Rom. 1:23.) 

i. Thou shalt have none other gods before me. (Dt. 5:7.) Take 
heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, 
and serve other gods, and worship them. (Dt. 11:16.) Yet I am the 
Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god 
but me; for there is no saviour beside me. (Hos. 13:4.) Little chil- 
dren, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. (I Jno. 5:21.) 

j. And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire 
on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. (Ex. 
24:17.) The sinners in Zion are afraid; tearfulness hath surprised the 
hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who 
among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? (Is. 33:14.) For our 
God is a consuming fire. (Heb. 12:29.) 

k. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for 
I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the 
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them 
that hate me. (Ex. 20:5.) I am the Lord; that is my name: and my 
glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 
(Is. 42:8.) 

1. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he 
departed. (Num. 12:9.) And the anger of the Lord was hot against 
Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the 
hands of the children of Amnion. (Jud. 10:7.) He hath cut off in his 



fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand 
from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming 
fire, which deyoureth round about. (Lam. 2:3.) Who can stand before 
his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? 
his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by 
him. (Nah. 1:6.) 

m. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath 
spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have 
rebelled against me. (Is. 1:2.) 

n. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while 
he is near. (Is. 55:6.) Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go 
and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. (Jer. 29:12.) And 
thou, Solomon, my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve 
him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind; for the Lord 
searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the 
thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake 
him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) 

o. Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of 
them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will 
not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) And David said to Solomon 
his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be 
dismayed; for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will 
not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work, 
for the service of the house of the Lord. (I Chr. 28:20.) There shall 
not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as 
I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor for- 
sake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) I have been young, and now am old; yet 
have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 
(Ps. 37:25.) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man 
his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have 
mercy upon hi-m; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 
(Is. 55:7.) 

p. And he shall send angels with a great sound of a trumpet, 
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from 
one end of heaven to the other. (Math. 24:31.)

est know that the Lord he is God; ^there is 
none else beside him. 

36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his 
voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon 
earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou 
heardest his words out of the midst of the 
fire. 

37 And because he loved thy fathers, there- 
fore he chose their seed after them, and 
brought thee out in his sight with his mighty 
power out of E'gypt; 

38 To drive out nations from before thee 
greater and mightier than thou art, to bring 
thee in, to give thee their land for an inherit- 
ance, as it is this day. 

39 Know therefore this day, and consider it 
In thine heart, that r the Lord he is God in 
heaven above, and upon the earth beneath : 
there is none else. 

40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, 
and his commandments, which I command thee 
this day, s that it may go well with thee, and 
with thy children after thee, and that thou 
mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which 
the 'Loi-d thy God giveth thee, for ever.

46 On this side Jor'dan, in the valley over

of the Am'or-ites, who dwelt at Hesh'bon, 
whom M5'§e§ and the children of Is'ra-el smote,

1 The covenant in Horeb. 6 The ten com-

ses receivetk the law from God. 

1 And Mo'ses called all is'ra-el, and said 
unto them, Hear, Is'ra-el, the statutes and 
judgments which I speak in your ears this 
day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do 
them. 

2 The 'Lord our God "made a covenant with 
us in "Ho'reb. 

3 The 'Lord ''made not this covenant with 
our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all 
of us here alive this day. 

4 The 'Lord c talked with you face to face 
in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 

5 (I stood between the 'Lord and you at 
that time, to shew you the word of the 'Lord : 
for ye were afraid d by reason of the fire, and 
went not up into the mount;) saying, 

6 H T am the 'Lord r thy God, which brought 
thee out of the land of E'gypt, from the house 
of bondage. 

7 Thou c shalt have none other gods, before 
me. 

8 Thou shalt not make thee fany graven im- 
age, or any likeness of any thing that is in 
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, 
or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 

9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto 
them, nor serve them: for I the 'Lord thy God 
am a ^jealous God, ''visiting the iniquity of 
the fathers upon the children unto the third 
and fourth generation of them that hate me, 

10 And shewing 'mercy unto thousands of 
them that love me and keep my commandments. 

11 Thou shalt not take the name of the 
'Lord thy 'God in vain: for the 'Lord will not 
hold him guiltless that taketh his name in 
vain. 

12 Keep the ''"sabbath day to sanctify it, as 
the Lord thv God hath commanded thee. 



q. There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: 
neither is there any rock like our God. (I Sam. 2:2.) I am the Lord, 
and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though 
thou hast not known me. (Is. 45:5.) And Jesus answered him. The 
first of all the commandments is, Hear, Israel; the Lord our God is 
one Lord. (Mk. 12:29.) 

r. And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did 
melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because 
of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in 
earth beneath. (Josh. 2:11.) I am the Lord; that is my name: and my 
glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 
(Is. 42:8.) 

s. Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with 
thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in 
the sight of the Lord (25). Observe and hear all these words which 
I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children 
after thee for ever, when thou doest that which Is good and right in 
the sight of the Lord thy God. (Dt. 12:25, 2S.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: 
for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) 

b. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous 
men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen 
them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard 
them. (Math.' 13:17.) Not according to the covenant that I made with 
their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out 
of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I 
regarded them not, saith the Lord. (Heb. 8:9.) 

e. And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, 
whom the Lord knew face to face, (Dt. 34:10.) 

d. And it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there 
were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and 
the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that 
was in the camp trembled. (Ex. 19:1G.) 

e. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land 
of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods 
before me. (Ex. 20:2, 3.) Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him 
in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers 
served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the 
Lord. (Josh. 24:14.) Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man 
the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols 
of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. (Ezek. 20:7.) Yet I am the Lord 



thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me; 
for there is no saviour beside me. (Hos. 13:4.) 

f. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness 
of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, 
or that is in the water under the earth: (Ex. 20:4.) For thou bringest 
certain strange things to our ears; we would know therefore what these 
things mean. (Acts. 17:20.) Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, 
neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. (Ex. 20:23.) Turn ye 
not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord 
your God. (Lev. 19:4.) 

g. Thou shalt not bow r down thyself to them, nor serve them: 
for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the 
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them 
that hate me. (Ex. 20:5.) I am the Lord; that is my name: and my 
glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 
(Is. 42:8.) 

h. Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression 
and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty: visiting the iniquity 
of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto 
the third and to the fourth generation. (Ex. 34:7.) After the number of 
the days in wh ; ch ye searched the land, even forty days : each day for a 
year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years: and ye shall know 
my breach of promise. (Num. 14:34.) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; 
who healeth all thy diseases. (Ps. 103:3.) But he was wounded for our 
transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of 
our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) 
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and 
their iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb. 8:12.) 

i. Thou showest loving-kindness unto thousands, and recompensest 
the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: 
The Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, Is his name. (Jer. 
32:18.) And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and 
keep my commandments. (Ex. 20:6.) Keeping mercy for thousands, 
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means 
clear the guilty: visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, 
and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth 
generation. (Ex. 34:7.) 

j. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the 
Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Ex. 
20:7.) And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt 
thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. (Lev. 19:12.) 

k. Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between 
me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify 
them. (Ezek. 20:12.) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified

13 'Six days thou shalt labour, and do all 
thy work: 

14 But the seventh day is the ; ''sabbath of 
the "Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any 
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor 
thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine 
ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor 
thy stranger that is within thy gates; that 
thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest 
as well as thou. 

15 And remember that thou wast a servant 
in the land of Egypt, and that the 'Lord thy 
God brought thee out thence through a mighty 
hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore 
the 'Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the 
^'sabbath day. 

16 r Honour '"'thy father and thy mother, as 
the 'Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that 
thy days may be prolonged, and that it may 
go well with thee, in the land which the 'Lord 
thv God giveth thee. 

17 Thou "shalt not kill. 

18 Neither & shalt thou commit adultery. 

19 Neither Pshalt thou steal. 

20 Neither shalt thou shear false witness 
against thy neighbour. 

21 Neither 'shalt thou desire thy neigh- 
bour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neigh- 
bour's house, his field, or his manservant, or 
his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any 
thing that is thy neighbour's. 

22 % These words the 'Lord spake unto all 
your assembly in the mount out of the midst 
of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick dark- 
ness, with a great voice: and he added no 
more. And "he wrote them in two tables of 
stone, and delivered them unto me. 

23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the 
voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the 
mountain did bum with fire,) that ye came 
near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, 
and your elders; 

24 And ye said, Behold, the 'Lord our God 
hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, 
and we have heard his voice out of the midst 
of the fire: we have seen this day that God 
doth talk with man, and he liveth. 

25 Now therefore why should we die? for 
this great fire will consume us: if we hear the 
voice of the Lord our God any more, then we 
shall die.

to this command.

heard the voice of the living God speaking out

27 Go thou near, and hear all that the 'Lord 
our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all 
that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; 
and we will hear it, and do it. 

28 And the 'Lord heard the voice of your 
words, when ye spake unto me; and the 'Lord 
said unto me, I have heard the voice of the 
words of this people, which they have spoken 
unto thee: they have well said all that they 
have spoken.

that they would fear me, and "keep all my

again. 

31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, 
and I will speak unto thee all the command- 
ments, and the statutes, and the judgments, 
which thou shalt teach them, that they may do 
them in the land which I give them to pos- 
sess it. 

32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the 
'Lord your God hath commanded you : r ye shall 
not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 

33 Ye shall walk in all the "ways which the 
'Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye 
may live, and that it may be well with you, 
and that ye may prolong your days in the land 
which ye shall possess. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 The end of the law is obedience. 3 An ex- 
hortation thereto. 

1 Now these are the commandments, the 
statutes, and the judgments, which the 'Lord 
your God commanded to teach you, that ye 
might a do them in the land whither ye go to 
possess it: 

2 That thou Slightest fear the 'Lord thy 
God, to keep °all his statutes and his com- 
mandments, which I command thee, thou, and 
thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy 
life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 

3 % Hear therefore, Is'ra-el, and observe 
to do it; that it may be well with thee, and 
that ye may increase mightily, as the 'Lord 



it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God 
created and made. (Gen. 2:3.) Remember the sabbath day, to keep 
it hcly. (Ex. 20:8.) Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day 
is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation: ye shall do no work 
therein; it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. (Lev. 
23:3.) See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he 
giveth you on the sixth day, the bread of two days: abide ye every 
man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 
(Ex. 16:29.) For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on 
this wise. And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 
(Heb. 4:4.) 

1. Six days thou shalt work: but on the seventh day thou shalt 
rest: ia earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. (Ex. 34:21.) The 
sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but 
the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. (Ecc. 5:12.) And 
that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work 
with your own hands, as we commanded you. (I Thes. 4:11.) Six days 
shall work be done; but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an 
holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of 
the Lord in all your dwellings. (Lev. 23:3.) 

in. Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father, and keep 
my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:3.) And he that 
curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. (Ex. 
21:17.) Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long 
upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Ex. 20:12.) For 
God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and. He 
that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. (Math. 15:4.) 
Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor 
as thyself. (Mat. 19:19.) Thou knowest the commandments. Do not 
commit adultery, Do not kill. Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, 
Defraud not. Honor thy father and mother. (Mk. 10:19.) Honor thy 
father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise).

and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and com- 
mandments which I have written: that thou mavest teach them. 
(Ex. 24:12.) 



t. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they 
would consider their latter end! (Dt. 32:29.) O that my people had 
hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! (Ps. 81:13.) 
O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace 
been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. (Is. 
48:18.) Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy 
day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid 
from thine eyes. (Lu. 19:42.) 

u. Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, 
and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway. 
(Dt. 11:1.) Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my 
ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge 
my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places 
to walk among these that stand by, (Zech. 3:7.) My son, forget not 
my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) 

v. Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is 
written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside there- 
from, to the right hand or to the left. (Josh. 23:6.) Turn not to 
the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. (Prov. 4:27.) 

w. But this thing commanded I them saying. Obey my voice, and I 
will be your God. and ye shall be my people; and walk ye in all the ways 
that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. (Jer. 7:23.) 
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the com- 
mandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. (Lu. 1:6.) For 
bodily exercise profiteth little, but godliness is profitable unto all 
things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is 
to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, 
and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments alway. 
(Dt. 11:1.) Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways: 
and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, 
and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk 
among these that stand by. (Zech. 3:7.) My son, forget not my law: 
but let thine heart keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Thou hast 
commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. (Ps. 119:4.) 

b. And Moses said unto the people. Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye 
sin not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: 
a good understanding have all they that do all his commandments: his 
praise endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of 
the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is 
the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.)

DEUTERONOMY 



God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the 
land that floweth with milk and honey. 

4 Hear, O Is'ra-el : the 2 Lord c our God is one 
'Lord: 

5 And thou d shalt love the 'Lord thy God 
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and 
with all thy might. 

6 And these words, which I command thee 
this day, shall be in thine heart: 

7 And thou shalt P teach them diligently unto 
thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou 
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest 
by the way, and when thou liest down, and 
when thou risest up. 

8 And thou ^shalt 3 bind them for a sign 
upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets 
between thine eyes. 

9 And thou shalt write 4 them upon the posts 
of thy house, and on thy gates. 

10 And it shall be, when the 'Lord thy c God 
shall have brought thee into the land which he 
sware unto thy fathers, to A'bra-ham, to I'§aac, 
and to Ja'cob, to give thee great and goodly 
cities, ffwhich thou buildest not, 

11 And houses full of all good things, which 
thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou 
diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which 
thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten 
and be full ; 

12 Then beware lest thou forget the 1 Lord, 
which brought thee forth out of the land of 
E'gypt, from the house of bondage. 

13 Thou shalt H ear the Lord thy God, and 
''serve him, and *shalt swear by his name. 

14 Ye shall not •'go after other gods, of the 
gods of the people which are round about you; 

15 (For the 'Lord thy God is a jealous ' : God 
among you) lest the anger of the 'Lord thy 
God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee 
from off the face of the earth. 

16 If Ye shall 'not tempt the 'Lord your God, 
as ye tempted him in Mas'sah. 

17 Ye shall diligently "keep the command- 
ments of the 'Lord your God, and his testi- 
monies, and his statutes, which he hath com- 
manded thee. 

18 And thou shalt do that which is right and 
good in the sight of the 'Lord; that it may 
be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in 
and possess the good land which the Lord 
sware unto thy fathers, 

19 To cast out all thine enemies from before 
thee, as the 'Lord hath spoken. 

20 And when thy son asketh thee in time to 
come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and 
the statutes, and the judgments, which the 
'Lord our God hath commanded you? 

21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We 
were Pha'raoh's bondmen in E'gypt; and the

teaching. Little leather boxes, each 
with four compartments in which 
were four portions of the writtl 11 law, 
were bound upon hands, arms and

22 And the Lord shewed signs and wonders, 
great and sore, upon E'gypt, upon Pha'raoh, 
and upon all his household, before our eyes: 

23 And he brought us out from thence, that 
he might bring us in, to give us the land which 
he sware unto our fathers. 

24 And the 'Lord commanded us to do all 
these statutes, to ''fear the 'Lord our God, for 
our good always, that he "'might preserve us 
alive, as it is at this day. 

25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we 
observe to do all these commandments before 
the 'Lord our God, as he hath commanded us. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 All communion with the nations is forbidden, 
4 for fear of idolatry, 6 for the holiness of 
the people, 17 for the assuredness of victory 
which God will give over them. 

1 When the 'Lord thy God shall bring thee 
into the land whither thou goest to possess 
it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, 
the Hit'tltes, and the Gir'ga-shites, and the 
Am'or-ites, and the Ca'naan-ites, and the Per'- 
Iz-zites, and the Hi'vites, and the Jeb'u-sites, 
seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 

2 And wlien the 'Lord thy God shall deliver 
them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and 
utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no cove- 
nant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 

3 Neither "shalt thou make marriages with 
them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto 
his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto 
thy son. 

4 For they will turn away thy son from 
following me, that they may serve other gods: 
so will the anger of the 'Lord be kindled 
against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 

5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall 
''destroy their altars, and break down their 
images, and cut down their groves, and burn 
their graven images with fire. 

6 For thou art an holy people unto the 
'Lord thy God: the 'Lord thy God c hath chosen 
thee to be a special people unto himself, above 
all people that are upon the face of the earth. 

7 The 'Lord did not set his love upon you, 
nor choose you, because ye were more in num- 
ber than any people; for ye were the fewest 
of all people: 

8 But because the 'Lord loved you, and be- 
cause he would keep the oath which he had 
sworn unto your fathers, hath the 'Lord 
brought you out with a mighty hand, and re- 
deemed you out of the house of bondmen, from 
the hand of Pha'raoh king of E'gypt. 

9 Know therefore that the 'Lord thy God, he 



c. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: an,d 
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be 
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father. 
The Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) And Jesus answered him, The 
first of all the commandments is, Hear Israel; The Lord our God is 
one Lord: (Mk. 12:29.) One God and Father of all, who is above all, 
and through all, and in you all. (Eph. 4:6.) Let this mind be in you, 
which was also in Christ Jesus (5): Who, being in the form of God, 
thought it not robbery to be equal with God. (Phil. 2:5, 6.) 

d. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with 
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Math. 22:37.) 
And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to 
fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and 
to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 
(Dt. 10:12.) My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe 
my days. (Prov. 23:26.) 

e. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath; but bring 
them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Eph. 6:4.) 

f. Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about 
thy neck. (Prov. 6:21.) Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon 
the table of thine heart. (Prov. 7:3.) 

g. And I have given you a land for which ye did not labor, and 
cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and 
olive yards which ye planted not do ye eat. (Josh. 24:13.) And gave 
them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labor of the 
people. (Ps. 105:44.) 

h. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, 
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and 
him only shalt thou serve. (Lu. 4:8.) 

i. But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by 



him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. 
(Ps. 63:11.) 

j. And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship 
them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; 
and I will do you no hurt. (Jer. 25:6.) 

k. See g, ch. 5, Dt. 

I. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not 
tempt the Lord thy God. (Math. 4:7.) And now we call the crowd 
happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt 
God are even delivered. (Mai. 3:15.) But Jesus perceived their wicked- 
ness and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? (Math. 22:18.) Neither 
let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed 
of serpents. (I Cor. 10:9.) 

m. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall 
be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the 
will of his enemies. (Ps. 41:2.) And he said unto him, Thou hast 
answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. (Lu. 10:28) 

Chapter 7. 

a. Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children 
of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto 
you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods. Solo- 
mon clave unto these in love. (I Ks. 11:2.) 

b. Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor 
do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them;' and 
quite break down their images. (Ex. 23:24.) 

c. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people- 
for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) But ye are a chosen generation, 
a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people: that ve should 
show forth the praises of him who hath called vou out of' darkness 
into his marvelous light. (I Pet. 2:9.)

tions; 

10 "And frepayeth them that hate him to 
their face, to destroy them: he will not be 
slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him 
to his face. 

11 Thou shalt therefore keep the command- 
ments, and the statutes, and the judgments, 
which I command thee this day, to do them. 

12 If ^Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye 
hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do 
them, that the 'Lord thy God shall keep unto 
thee the covenant and the mercy which he 
sware unto thy fathers: 

13 And he will »love thee, and bless thee, and 
multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of 
thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, 
and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of 
thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the 
land which he sware unto thy fathers to give 
thee. 

14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: 
there shall not be male or female barren among 
you, or among your cattle. 

15 And the 'Lord will take away from thee 
all sickness,^ and will put none of the ''evil 
diseases of E'gypt, which thou knowest, upon 
thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate 
thee. 

16 And thou shalt consume all the people 
which the 'Lord thy God shall deliver thee; 
thine eye shall have no pity upon them : neither 
shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be 'a 
snare unto thee. 

17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These 
nations are more than I; how can I dispossess 
them? 

18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but 
shalt well ^'remember what the 'Lord thy God 
did unto Pha'raoh, and unto all E'gypt; 

19 The great temptations which thine eyes 
saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the 
mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, 
whereby the 'Lord thy God brought thee out: 
so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the 
people of whom thou art afraid. 

20 Moreover the 'Lord thy God will send the 
hornet 'among them, until they that are left, 
and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

interpretations, the majority concur- 
ing in the belief that Jehovah pun- 
ishes each one that hates him, so 
that each may know he is smitten of 
God. (W.) 



3. Vs. 12-15 contain the promise of 
great blessings if the people will Ueep 
the commandments of Jehovah. 



4. Three different interpretations 
of the word hornet have been given, 
viz., 1st. that the word is used lit- 
erally; 2nd, that the Amorites are 
meant; 3rd, that it is simply used 
in the sense of dread as a figurative 
expression of uncontrolled terror.

beasts of the field increase upon thee. 

23 But the 'Lord thy God shall deliver them 
unto thee, and shall destroy them with a 
mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.

from under heaven : there shall no man be able 
to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed 
them.

ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the 
silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto

abomination to the 'Lord thy God.

into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing

thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed

CHAPTER 8. 

1 An exhortation to obedience in regard of 

God's dealing with them. 

1 All the commandments which I command 
thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye 
may live, and multiply, and go in and possess 
the land which the 'Lord sware unto your 
fathers. 

2 And thou shalt remember all the way 
which the 'Lord thy God led thee "these forty 
years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and 
Ho prove thee, to know what was in thine 
heart, whether thou wouldest keep his com- 
mandments, or no. 

3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to 
hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou 
knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; 
that he might make thee know that man doth 
e not live by bread only, but by every word 
that proceedeth out of the mouth of the 'Lord 
doth man live. 

4 Thy raiment <%axed not old upon thee, 
neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 

5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, 
that, as a man P chasteneth his son, so the Lord 
thy God chasteneth thee. 

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the command- 



d. Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One; 
to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to 
a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall wor- 
ship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, 
and he shall choose thee. (Is. 49:7.) God is faithful, by whom ye 
were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 
(I Cor. 1:9.) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot 
deny himself. (II Tim. 2:13.) If we confess our sins, he is faithful 
and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous- 
ness. (I Jno. 1:9.) 

e. And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and 
keep my commandments. (Ex. 20:6.) And said, I beseech thee, 
Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant 
and mercy for them that love him, and observe his commandments. 
(Neh. 1:5.) 

f. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in 
their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth 
therein shall not know peace. (Is. 59:8.) God is jealous, and the Lord 
revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take ven- 
geance on his adversaries, und he reserveth wrath for his enemies. 
(Nan. 1:2.) 

g. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance 
doth behold the upright. (Ps. 11:7.) Because thy loving-kindness is 
better than iife, my lips shall praise thee. (Ps. 63:3.) He that hath 
my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and 
he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, 
and will manifest myself to him. (Jno. 14:21.) 

h. For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, 
and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know 
that there is none like me in all the earth. (Ex. 9:14.) 

i. And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even 
in Ophrah, and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing 
became a snare unto, Gideon and to his house. (Jud. 8:27.) And 
they served their idols which were a snare unto them. (Ps. 106:36.) 

j. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, 
and the judgments of his mouth; (Ps. 105:5.) Only rebel not ye against 
the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread 
for us: their defences departed from them, and the Lord is with us; 
fear them not. (Num. 14:9.) 

k. Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible 
God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem 



little before thee that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, 
and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on 
all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. 
(Neh. 9:32.) 

1. And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the 
fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made 
the children of Israel drink of it. (Ex. 32:20.) And when they had left 
their gods there, David gave a commandment and they were burned 
with Are. (I Chr. 14:12.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. To him which led his people through the wilderness; for his 
mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:16.) Also I brought you up from the 
land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to 
possess the land of the Amorite. (Amos 2:10.) That led them by the 
right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before 
them, to make himself an everlasting name? (Is. 63:12.) 

b. Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from 
heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate 
every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, 
or no. (Ex. 16:4.) And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God 
is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that 
ye sin not. (Ex. 20:20.) Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my 
reins and my heart. (Ps. 26:2.) I speak not by commandment, but 
by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of 
your love. (II Cor. 8:8.) But let every man prove his own work, and 
then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 
(Gal. 6:4.) 

c. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their 
breath, they die, and return to their dust. (Ps. 104:29.) But he an- 
swered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but 
by every word that proceedeth .out of the mouth of God. (Math. 4:4.) 

d. Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so 
that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet 
swelled not. (Neh. 9:21.) 

e. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit 
iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes 
of the children of men. (II Sam. 7:14.) For whom the Lord loveth 
he correcteth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. (Prov. 
3:12.) And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as 
unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor 
faint when thou art rebuked of him. (Heb. 12:5.) As many as I love, 
I rebuke and chasten: be jealous therefore, and repent. (Rev. 3:19.)

7 For the 'Lord thy God bringeth thee into 
a good land, a land of brooks of water, of 
fountains and depths that spring out of valleys 
and hills; 

8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, 
and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil 
olive, and honey; 

9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread with- 
out scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing 
in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of 
whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 

10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then 
fthou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the 
good land which he hath given thee. 

11 Beware that thou forget not the 'Lord 
thy God, in not keeping his commandments, 
and his judgments, and his statutes, which I 
command thee this day: 

12 "Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, 
and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein ; 

13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multi- 
ply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, 
and all that thou hast is multiplied; 

14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou 
''forget the 'Lord thy God, which brought thee 
forth out of the land of E'gypt, from the house 
of bondage; 

15 Who "led thee through that great and ter- 
rible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, 
and scorpions, and drought, where there was 
no water; 'who brought thee forth water out 
of the rock of flint; 

16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with 
■'manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he 
might humble thee, and that he might 6 prove 
thee, to do thee 7 ''good at thy latter end; 

17 And thou say in thine heart, My power 
and the might of mine hand hath gotten me 
this wealth. 

18 But thou shalt remember the 'Lord thy 
God: 'for it is he that giveth thee power to 
get wealth, that he may establish his cov- 
enant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it 
is this day. 

19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget 
the 'Lord ''thy God, and walk after other gods, 
and serve them, and worship them, I testify 
against you this day that ye shall surely 
perish. 

20 As the nations which the 'Lord destroy- 
eth before your face, so shall ye perish; be- 
cause ye would not be obedient unto the voice 
of the 'Lord vour God.

2 A people great and tall, the children of

whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand 
before the children of A'nak! 

3 Understand therefore this day, that the 
'Lord thy God is he which goeth ''over before 
thee; as a 'consuming fire he shall destroy 
them, and he shall bring them down before thy 
face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy 
them quickly, as the 'Lord hath said unto 
thee.

but 'for the wickedness of these nations the

the covenant which the 'Lord made with you, 
then I abode in the mount forty days and forty 
nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water : 

10 And the 'Lord delivered unto me two 
tables of stone written with the finger of God; 
and on them was written according to all the 
words, which the 'Lord spake with you in the 
mount out of the midst of the fire in the day 
of the assembly. 

11 And it came to pass at the end of forty 
days and forty nights, that the 'Lord gave 
me the two tables of stone, even the tables of 
the "covenant. 

12 And the 'Lord said unto me, Arise, 'get 
thee down quickly from hence; for thy people 
which thou hast brought forth out of E'gypt 
have corrupted themselves; they are 'quickly 
turned aside out of the wav which I com-

manded them; they have made them a molten 
image. 

13 Furthermore the 'Lord spake unto me, 
saying, I have seen this people, and, -behold, 
it is a '''stiff necked people: 

14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, 
and 'blot out their name from under heaven: 
and I will make of thee a nation mightier and 
greater than they. 

15 So I turned and came down from the 
mount, and the mount burned with fire: and 
the two tables of the covenant were in my two 
hands. 

16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned 
against the 'Lord your God, and had made you 
a molten calf: ye had turned aside '''quickly out 
of the way which the 'Lord had commanded 
you. 

17 And I took 'the two tables, and cast them 
out of my two hands, and brake them before 
your eyes. 

18 And I '"fell down before the Lord, as at 
the first, forty days and forty nights: I did 
neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of 
all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wicked- 
ly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke "him 
to anger. 

19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot 
displeasure, wherewith the 'Lord was wroth 
against you to destroy you. "But the Lord 
hearkened unto me at that time also. 

20 And the ^ord was very "angry with 
Aar'on to have destroyed him: and I prayed 
for Aar'on also the same time. 

21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye 
had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped 
it, and ground it very small, even until it was 
as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof 
into the brook that descended out of the mount. 

22 And at Tab'e-rah, and at Mas'sah, and 
at Kib'roth-hat-ta'a-vah, "ye provoked the 
'Lord to wrath. 

23 Likewise when the 'Lord sent you from 
Ka'desh-bar'ne-a, saying, Go up and possess 
the land which I have given you; then ye re- 
belled against the commandment of the Lord 
your God, and ye believed him not, nor heark- 
ened to his voice. 

24 Ye have been rebellious against the 
'Lord from the day that I knew you. 

25 Thus I '"fell down before the 'Lord forty 
days and forty nights, as I fell down at the 
first; because the 'Lord had said he would 
destroy you. 

26 I Pprayed therefore unto the 'Lord, and 
said, 'Lord God, destroy not thy people and 
thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed 
through thy greatness, which thou hast 
brought forth out of E'gypt with a mighty 
hand.

1 God's mercy in restoring the two tables, 6 
in continuing the priesthood, 8 in separating 
the tribe of Levi, 10 in hearkening unto 
Moses' suit for the people. 12 An exhorta- 
tion unto obedience. 

1 At that time the 'Lord said unto me, "Hew 
thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and 
come up unto me into the mount, and make 
thee an ''ark of wood. 

2 And I will write 'on the tables the words 
that were in the first tables which thou br'ak- 
est, and thou shalt put 'them in the ark. 

3 And I made an ark of "shittim wood, and 
hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, 
and went up into the mount, having the two 
tables in mine hand. 

4 And he c wrote on the tables, according to 
the first writing, the ten "commandments, 
which the 'Lord spake unto you in the mount 
out of the midst of the fire in the day of the 
assembly: and the 'Lord gave them unto me. 

5 And I turned myself and ^came down 
from the mount, and put the tables e in the 
ark which I had made; and there they be, as 
the 'Lord commanded me. 

6 If And the children of Is'ra-el took their 
journey from Be-e'roth of the children of 
Ja'a-kan to Mo-se'ra : there Aar'on died, and 
there he was buried, and E-le-a'zar his son 
ministered in the priest's office in his stead. 

7 From thence they journeyed unto Gud'go- 
dah; and from Gud'go-dah to Jot'bath, a land 
of rivers of waters. 

8 11 At that time the 'Lord separated the 
tribe of Le'vT, to bear the ark of the covenant 
of the 'Lord, to stand before the 'Lord to min- 
ister unto him, and ^to bless in his name, unto 
this day. 

9 Wherefore Le'vl ?hath no part nor in- 
heritance with his brethren; the 'Lord is his 
inheritance, according as the 'Lord thy God 
promised him. 

10 And I stayed in the mount, according to 
the first time, forty days and forty nights; 
and the Lord hearkened unto me at that time 
also, and the 'Lord would not destroy thee. 

11 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take 



k. And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, 
behold, it is a stiff-necked people. (Ex. 32:9.) For I know thy 
rebellion, and thy stiff neck; behold, while I am yet alive with you this 
day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more 
after my death? (Dt. 31:27.) Notwithstanding they would not hear, 
but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did 
not believe in the Lord their God. (II Ks. 17:14.) 

1. Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, 
thou hast put out their name for ever ana ever. (Ps. 9:5.) Let his 
posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be 
blotted out. (Ps. 109:13.) 

m. And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; 
he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the 
tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. (Ex. 34:28.) 
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen 
stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should 
destroy them. (Ps. 106:23.) 

n. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he 
departed. (Num. 12:9.) God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry 
with the wicked every day. (Ps. 7:11.) Thou shalt make them as a 
fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in 
his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. (Ps. 21:9.) And when the 
people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and 
his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and 
consumed thein that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 
(Num. 11:1 ) 

o. And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto 
his people. (Ex. 32:14.) And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this 
thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, 
and I know thee by name. (Ex. 33:17.) 



p. And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why 
doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought 
forth out of the laud of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty 
hand? (Ex. 32:11.) The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth 
the prayer of the righteous. (Prov. 15:29.) 

q. For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the moun- 
tains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from 
thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. (Ex. 32:12.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a 
half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and 
a cubit and a half the height of it. (Ex. 37:1.) 

b. And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a 
half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth 
thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. (Ex. 25:10.) 

c. And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; 
he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables 
the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. (Ex. 34:28.) 

d. And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai 
with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down 
from the mount, that Moses wist, not that the skin of his face shone 
while he talked with him. (Ex. 34:29.) 

e. And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the 
staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark. 
(Ex. 40:20.) 

f. On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel. (Num. 6:23.) 

g. And it shall be unto them for an inheritance; I am their 
inheritance; and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their 
possession. (Ezek. 44:28.)

23 Then will the 'Lord drive out all these 
nations from before you, and ye shall possess 
greater nations and mightier than yourselves. 

24 Every '"place whereon the soles of your 
feet shall tread shall be your's; from the wil- 
derness and Leb'a-non, from the river, the 
river Eii-phra'te§, even unto the uttermost sea 
shall your coast be. 

25 There shall no man be able to stand be- 
fore you: for the 'Lord your God shall lay the 
fear "of you and the dread of you upon all the 
land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said 
unto you. 

26 If Behold, I set before you this day a 
blessing "and a curse; 

27 PA blessing, if ye obey the commandments 
of the 'Lord your God, which I command you 
this day: 

28 And a 'curse, if ye will not obey the 
commandments of the 'Lord your God, but turn 
aside out of the way which I command you 
this day, to go after other gods, which ye have 
not known. 

29 And it shall come to pass, when the 
'Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto the 
land whither thou goest to possess it, that 
thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Ger'- 
I-zTm, and the curse upon mount E'bal.

land of the Ca'naan-Ites, which dwell in the 



Ch. 12. B. C. 1451. 

NOTE.— In the first Terse of ch. 12, 
Moses tells the Israelites that the 
laws and statutes and judgments, 
which he is now about to give them, 
are for their special guidance and in- 
struction, not in the wilderness, but 
in the land which Jehovah giveth 
them. Chs. 12-26 record the dis- 
course on these laws and gives the 
people explicit directions for govern- 
ment in their religious, civil and so- 
cial interests. Nearly forty years 
have elapsed since the giving of the 
decalogue; there Is, therefore, such 
modification made in the earlier leg- 
islation as the present conditions re- 
quire. 



1. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



2. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



3. An offering waved upward and 
downward horizontally in a dedica- 
tory spirit; upward presenting to 
Jehovah, back again indicating that 
Jehovah had returned the offering 
with his blessing. 



4. A thanksgiving offering for fa- 
vors already received. 



champaign over against Gil'gal, beside the 
plains of Mo'reh? 

31 For ye shall pass over Jor'dan to go in 
to possess the land which the 'Lord your God 
giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell 
therein. 

32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes 
and judgments which I set before you this day. 

CHAPTER 12. 

1 Monuments of idolatry are to be destroyed. 
5 The place of God's service is to be kept. 
15, 23 Blood is forbidden. 17, 20, 26 Holy 
things must be eaten in the holy place. 19 
The Levite is not to be forsaken. 29 Idola- 
try is not to be enquired after. 

1 These are the statutes and judgments, 
which ye shall observe to do in the land, which 
the 'Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to 
possess it, all the days that ye live upon the 
earth. 

2 Ye shall a utterly destroy all the places, 
wherein the nations which ye shall possess 
served their gods, upon the high mountains, 
and upon the hills, and under every green tree : 

3 And ye shall Overthrow their altars, and 
break their pillars, and burn their groves with 
fire; and ye shall hew down the 6 graven im- 
ages of their gods, and destroy the names of 
them out of that place. 

4 Ye shall not do so unto the 'Lord your 
God. 

5 But unto the place which the 'Lord your 
God shall c choose out of all your tribes to 
put his name there, even unto his habitation 
shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: 

6 And thither ye shall bring your d burnt 
Offerings, and your sacrifices, and your c tithes, 
and heave 'offerings of your hand, and your 
vows, and your freewill Offerings, and the 
firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: 

7 And there ye shall eat before the 'Lord 
your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye 
put your hand unto, ye and your households, 
wherein the Lord thy God hath blessed thee. 

8 Ye shall not do after all the things that 
we do here this day, every man whatsoever is 
right in his own eyes. 

9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and 
to the inheritance, which the 'Lord your God 
giveth you. 

10 But when ye go over Jor'dan, and dwell 
in the land which the 'Lord your God giveth 
you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest 
from all your enemies round about, so that ye 
dwell in safety; 

11 Then there shall be fa place which the 
'Lord your God shall choose to cause his name 
to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I 
command you; your burnt Offerings, and your 
sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave 'offering 
of your hand, and all your choice vows which 
ye vow unto the 'Lord: 



that cometh to God must believe that he is. and that he is a rewarder 
of them that diligently seek him. (Heb. 11:6.) 

i. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the 
service of man. (Ps. 104:14.) 

j. Lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and 
destroy thee from off the face of the earth. (Dt. 6:15.) When heaven 
is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee. 
(I Ks. 8:35.) 

k. Train up a child" in the way he should go; and when he is 
old, he will not depart from it. (Prov. 22:6.) And ye fathers, provoke 
not your children to wrath; but bring them up in the nurture and ad- 
monition of the Lord. (Eph. 6:4.) 

1. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add 
to thee. (Prov. 3:2.) Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and thj 
years of thy life shall be many. (Prov. 4:10.) 

m. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that 
have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. (Josh. 1:3.) 

. n. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people 
to whom thou shalt come; and I will make all thine enemies turn their 
backs unto thee. (Ex. 23:27.) 

o. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon 
thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and 
thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord 
thy God hath driven thee. (Dt. 30:1.) 

p. And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for 
glory and for beauty. (Ex. 28:2.) 

q. If thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, 



to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I com- 
mand thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and 
overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) 
Chapter 12. 

a. But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut 
down their groves. (Ex. 34:13.) Then ye shall drive out all the inhab- 
itants of ihe land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and 
destroy all their molten images and quite pluck down all their high 
places. (Num. 33:52.) 

b. Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, 
after that they be destroyed from before thee. (Dt. 12:30.) Fear not the 
gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed 
my voice. (Jud. 6:10.) 

c. That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which 
thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and 
shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the 
Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there. (Dt. 26:2.) That 
thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward 
the place of which thou hast said. My name shall be there. (I Ks. 8:29.) 
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. (Ps. 
78:GS.) 

d. For purpose and de.sign of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

e. Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field 
bringeth forth year by year. (Dt. 14:22.) 

f. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled 
together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there.

13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not 
thy d burnt "offerings in every place that thou 
seest: 

14 But in the place which the l Lord shall 
choose in one of thy tribes, there thou sho.lt 
offer thy burnt 'offerings, and there thou shalt 
do all that I command thee. 

15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and 
eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul 
lusteth after, according to the blessing of the 
'Lord thy God which he hath given thee: the 
unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of 
the roebuck, and as of the hart. 

16 Only ye shall "not eat Hhe blood; ye 
shall pour it upon the earth as water. 

17 V Thou mayest not eat within thy gates 
the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of 
thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of 
thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou 
vowest, nor thy freewill 'offerings, or heave 
Offering of thine hand:

shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daugh- 
ter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, 
and the Le'vite that is within thy gates: and 
thou shalt 'rejoice before the 'Lord thy God 
in all that thou puttest thine hands unto. 

19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake 
not the Le'vite as long as thou livest upon the 
earth. 

20 r When the 'Lord thy God shall enlarge 
thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou 
shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul 
longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, 
whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. 

21 If the place which the 'Lord thy God 
hath chosen to put his name there be too far 
from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and 
of thy flock, which the "Lord hath given thee, 
as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat 
in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. 

22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is

of blood was not t<> be considered a

in the sight of the Lord. 

26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, 
and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the 
place which the Lord shall choose: 

27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, 
the flesh and the 'blood, upon the altar of the 
Lord thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices 
shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord 
thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh. 

28 Observe and hear all these words which 
I command thee, that it may '"go well with 
thee, and with thy children after thee for 
ever, when thou doest that which is good and 
right in the sight of the Lord thy God. 

29 r When the 'Lord thy God shall cut off 
the nations from before thee, whither thou go- 
est to possess them, and thou succeedest them, 
and dwellest in their land; 

30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not 
snared by following them, after that they be 
destroyed from before thee; and that "thou 
enquire not after their gods, saying. How did 
these nations serve their gods? even so will I 
do likewise. 

31 Thou shalt "not do so unto the 'Lord thy 
God: for every abomination to the 'Lord, which 
he hateth, have they done unto their gods; 
for even their sons and their daughters they 
have burnt in the fire to their gods. 

32 What thing soever I command you, ob- 
serve to do it: "thou shalt not add thereto, 
nor diminish from it. 

CHAPTER 13. 
1 Enticers to idolatry, 6 how near soever unto 
thee, 9 are to be stoned to death. 12 Idola- 
trous cities are not to be spared. 

1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a 
dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or 
a wonder, 

2 And "the sign or the wonder come to pass, 
whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go 
after other gods, which thou hast not known, 
and let us serve them; 

3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of 
that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for 
the Lord your God 6 proveth you, to know 
whether ye r love the 'Lord your God with all 
your heart and with all your soul. 

4 Ye shall d walk after the 'Lord your God, 
and fear him, and keep his commandments, 
and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, 
and cleave unto him. 

5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of 
dreams, shall c be put to death; because he hath 
spoken to turn you away from the 'Lord your 
God, which brought you out of the land of 
E'eypt, and redeemed you out of the house of 



g. Wherefore Levi hath, no part nor inheritance with his brethren: 
the Lord is his inheritance according as the Lord thy God promised 
him. (Dt. 10:9.) And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am 
their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel. I am 
their possession. (Ez. 44:28.) 

h. Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it 
upon the ground as water. (Dt. 15:23.) But flesh with the life thereof, 
which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. (Gen. 9:4.) For the life 
of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar 
to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the "blood that maketh 
an atonement for the soul (11). For it is the life of all flesh: the blood 
of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 
Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is 
the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. (Lev. 17:11, 14.) 

i. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, 
and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and 
drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. 
(Ecc. 3:12, 13.) 

j. Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, 
which 1 command thee this day, that it may go weil -with thee, and with 
thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon 
the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) 
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall 
eat the fruit of their doings. (Is. 3:10.) 

k. And said. If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the 
Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt 
give ear to his commandments, and keep all. his statutes. I will put 
none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the 
Egyptians, for I am the Lord that healeth thee. (Ex. 15:26.) And it 
shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt 
walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes 



and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with 
thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give 
Israel unto thee. (I Ks. 11:38.) 

1. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to 
you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the 
blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (Lev. 17:11.) 

m. What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the 
way that be shall choose: his soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed 
shall inherit the earth. (Ps. 25:12, 13.) 

n. And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made 
with their fatners, and his testimonies which he testified against them; 
and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen 
that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged 
them, that they should not do like them. (II Ks. 17:15.) 

o. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou 
be found a liar. (Prov. 30:6.) For I testify unto every man that 
heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add 
unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written 
in this book. (Rev. 22:18.) 

Chaper 13. 

a. Many will say 10 me in that day. Lord. Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in 
thv name done manv wonderful works? (Math. 7:22.) 

b. See b, ch. S, Dt. 

c. See a, ch. 11, Dt. 

d. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess 
not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. (II Jno. 1:7.) 

e. Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that 
prophesy in my name, and I sent them not. yet they say, Sword and 
famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those 
prophets be consumed (Jer. 14:15.) And Elijah said unto them, Take 
the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. (I Ks. 1S:40.)

bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which 
the 'Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in. 
So shalt thou put the 'evil away from the 
midst of thee. 

6 H If thy brother, ^he son of thy mother, 
or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of 
thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine 
own soul, entice "thee secretly, saying, Let us 
go and serve other gods, which thou hast not 
known, thou, nor thy fathers; 

7 Namely, of the gods of the people which 
are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off 
from thee, from the one end of the earth even 
unto the other end of the earth; 

8 Thou shalt "not consent unto him, nor 
hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity 
him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt 
thou conceal him: 

9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand 
shall be first upon him to put him to death, 
and afterwards the hand of all the people. 

10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, 
that he die; because he hath sought to thrust 
thee away from the 'Lord thy God, which 
brought thee out of the land of E'gypt, from 
the house of bondage. 

11 And ''all Is'ra-el shall hear, and fear, and 
shall do no more any such wickedness as this 
is among you. 

12 If If thou shalt hear say in one of thy 
cities, which the 'Lord thy God hath given thee 
to dwell there, saying, 

13 Certain 'men, the children of Be'H-al, are 
'gone out from among you, and have with- 
drawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, 
Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have 
not known; 

14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make 
search, and ask diligently; and, behold if it be 
truth, and the thing certain, that such abom- 
ination is wrought among you; 

15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants 
of that city with the edge of the sword, de- 
stroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and 
the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. 

16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it 
into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt 
burn with fire the city, and all the spoil there- 
of every whit, for the 'Lord thy God: and it 
shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built, 
again. 

17 And ■'there shall cleave nought of the 
cursed thing to thine hand : that the 'Lord may 
turn from the fierceness of his anger, and 
shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon 
thee, and multiply thee, fc as he hath sworn unto 
thy fathers;

the 'Lord thy God, to keep all his command- 
ments which I command thee this day, to do 
that which is right in the eyes of the 'Lord 
thy God.

22 Tithes of divine service. 



2. Even though the influence to- 
ward idolatry should come from a 
member of the family, the law was to 
be administered just the same. 
Though this law seemed severe, we 
can see the need of this severity 
when we understand the debasing in- 
fluence of the heathen possessing the 
land. 



3. Literally, sons of worthless or 
wicked men. 



Ch. 14. B. C. 1451. 

NOTE. — In this ch. the people are 
forbidden to mutilate or disfigure 
themselves in mourning as the 
heathen did, because Jehovah's people 
were holy unto him, therefore their 
bodies were holy. Instructions are 
also given concerning what the peo- 
ple may and may not eat. 



1. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



2. The heathens believed their gods 
were appeased by human suffering, 
therefore they cut themselves with 
knives when in mourning. The Is- 
raelites were forbidden to follow this 
practice. 



3. Vs. 3-21 enumerate the animals 
that might he eaten and also those 
that were prohibited. 



4. The ordinary deer. 



5. That is, the gazelle. 



6. A species of the antelope. 



7. Another species of the ante- 
lope. 



1 Ye are "the children of the 'Lord your 
God: ^ye shall not "cut yourselves, nor make 
any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 

2 For thou art an 'holy people unto the 
'Lord thy God, and the 'Lord hath chosen thee 
to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all 
the nations that are upon the earth. 

3 II 3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable 
thing. 

4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: 
the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 

5 The *hart, and the 'roebuck, and the fal- 
low deer, and the wild goat, and the °pygarg, 
and the wild ox, and the 7 chamois. 

6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, 
and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and 
cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye 
shall eat. 

7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of 
them that chew the cud, or of them that divide 
the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, 
and the coney: for they chew the cud, but 
divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean 
unto you. 

8 And the swine, because it divideth the 
hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean 
unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor 
touch their dead carcase. 

9 f These ye shall eat of all that are in the 
waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye 
eat: 

10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales 
ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you. 

11 11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 

12 But these are they of which ye shall not 
eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the 
ospray, 

13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vul- 
ture after his kind, 

14 And every raven after his kind, 

15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and 
the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 

16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the 
swan, 

17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and 
the cormorant, 

18 And the stork, and the heron after her 
kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 

19 And every creeping thing that flieth is 
unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 

20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat. 

21 If d Ye shall not eat of any thing that 
dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the 
stranger that is in thy gates, that he may 
eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: 
for thou art ''an holy people unto the 'Lord thy 
God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his moth- 
er's milk. 

22 Thou shalt truly c tithe all the increase of 
thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by 
year. 

23 And thou shalt eat before the 'Lord thy 
God, in the place which he shall choose to 
place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, 
of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first- 
lings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou 
mayest learn to ffear the Lord thy God always. 



f. But them that are without God judgelh. Therefore put away 
from among yourselves that wicked person. (I Cor. 5:13.) 

g. Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine 
integrity? curse God, and die. (Job 2:9.) Trust ye not in a friend, put 
ye not confidence in a guide; keep the doors of the mouth from 
her that lieth in thy bosom. (Mic. 7:5.) My son, if sinners entice 
thee, consent thou not. (Prov. 1:10.) 

h. And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall hence- 
forth commit no more any such evil among you. (Dt. 19:20.) 

i. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they 
had been ot us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they 
went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 
(I Jno. 2:19.) These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having

a. And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said 
unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them. 
Ye are the sons of the living God. (Hos. 1:10.) The Spirit itself 
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. 
(Rom. 8:16.) 

b. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning 
them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have 
not hope. (I Thes. 4:13.) 

c. And ye shall be holy unto me; for I the Lord am holy, and have 
severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. (Lev. 20:26.) 
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present 
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your 
reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) 

d. Ah Lord God! behold, my soul hath not been polluted; for from

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so 
that thou art not able to carry it; or if the 
place be too far from thee, which the 'Lord 
thy God shall choose to set his name there, 
when the 'Lord thy God hath blessed thee: 

25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and 
bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go 
unto the place which the 'Lord thy God shall 
choose: 

26 And thou shalt bestow that money 
for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for 
oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong 
drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: 
and thou shalt eat there before the 'Lord thy 
God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine 
household, 

27 And ''the Le'vite that is within thy gates; 
thou shalt not forsake him; for 7i he hath no 
part nor inheritance with thee. 

28 If At the end of three years thou shalt 
bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the 
same year, and shalt lay it up within thy 
gates : 

29 And the Le'vite, ''(because he hath no 
part nor inheritance with thee,) and the 
'stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, 
which are within thy gates, shall come, and 
shall eat and be satisfied; that the •'Lord thy 
God may bless thee in all the work of thine 
hand which thou doest. 

CHAPTER 15. 

1 The seventh year a year of release for the 
poor. 12 An Hebrew servant, 16 except he 
ivill not depart, must in the seventh year go 
forth free and well furnished. 

1 At the end of every seven 'years thou 
shalt make a release. 

2 And this is the manner of the release: 
Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his 
neighbour 'shall release it; he shall not exact 
it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because 
it is called the 2 Lord's release. 

3 Of a foreigner 4 thou "mayest exact it 
again : but that which is thine with thy broth- 
er thine hand shall release; 

4 Save when there shall be no poor among 
you; for the 2 Lord shall 6 greatly bless thee in 
the land which the "Lord thy God giveth thee 
for an inheritance to possess it :

nol released from all obligation to 
pay. 



4. A foreigner means one not a 
follower of Jebovab. They would 
have the income from tbeir land for 
that year and a different lav.- should 
apply to them. 



5. As the Israelites bad been com- 
manded not to exact return of money 

hiancil I" the poor, they Were given 
the command of v. 7 for fear they 
might become harsh in their treat- 
ment of the poor. 



0. The first hint toward the teach- 
ing of the N. T. doctrine. "Do as you 
would he done by." 



7. Xot necessarily the Sabbatical 
year, but the seventh year from the 
beginning of his service. 



5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the 
voice of the "Lord thy God, to observe to do all 
these commandments which I command thee 
this day. 

6 For the "Lord thy God "olesseth thee, as 
he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto 
many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and 
thou shalt reign over many nations, but they 
shall not reign over thee. 

7 r If there be among you a poor man of 
one of thy brethren within any of thy gates 
in thy land which the "Lord thy God giveth 
thee, c thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor 
shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 

8 But d thou shalt open thine hand wide 
unto him, and shalt 'surely lend him sufficient 
for his need, in that which he wanteth. 

9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy 
wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the 
year of release, is at hand; and 'thine eye be 
evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest 
him nought; and 'he cry unto the Lord against 
thee, and it be "sin unto thee. 

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine 
heart shall not be grieved when thou givest 
unto him: because that d for this thing the 
"Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, 
and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the 
land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou 
shalt open thine ''hand wide unto thy brother, 
to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. 

12 r And if thy brother, an He'brSw man. 
or an He'brew woman, be sold ''unto thee, and 
serve thee six years; then in the seventh year 
thou T shalt let him go free from thee. 

13 And when thou sendest him out free 
from thee, thou shalt not let him go away 
empty: 

14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of 
thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy 
wine-press: of that wherewith the : Lord thy 
God hath 'blessed thee thou shalt give unto 
him. 

15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast 
a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the 
: Lord thy God redeemed thee: therefore I com- 
mand thee this thing to day. 

16 And it shall be, -'if he say unto thee, I 
will not go away from thee; because he loveth 



prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin 
not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a 
good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Fear God, and keep his commandments: 
for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) 

g. It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if 
the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their 
duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. (Rom. 15:27.) 

h. Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; 
the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised 
him. (Dt. 10:9.) And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am 
their inheritance; and ye shall give them no possession of Israel; I am 
their possession. (Ezek. 44:28.) 

i. When thou makest a dinner or- a supper, call not thy friends nor 
thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they 
also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou 
makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind; And 
thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt 
be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. (Lu. 14:12-14.) 

j. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase (9). So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy 
presses shall burst out with new wine. (Prov. 3:9, 10.) Bring ye all 
the tithes into the storehouse, that there may he meat in mine house, 
and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open 
you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall 
not be room enough to receive it. (Mai. 3:10.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy 
brother thou shalt not lend upon usury, that the Lord thy God may 
bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to, in the land whither thou 
goest to possess it. (Dt. 23:20.) 

b. And the Lord shall command the blessing upon thee and thy 
storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall 
bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Dt. 28 :S.) 
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year and 
it shall bring forth fruit for three years. (Lev. 25:21.) So shall thy 
barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new 
wine. (Prov. 3:10.) 

c. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have 
need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him. how dwelleth 
the love of God in him? (I Jno. 3:17.) And if thy brother be waxen poor, 
and fallen in decay with thee, then thou shalt relieve him; yea, though 
he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. (Lev. 



25:35.) Only they would that we should remember the poor; -the same 
which I also was forward to do. (Gal. 2:10.) 

d. He is ever merciful, and lendeth: and his seed is blessed. (Ps. 
37:26.) He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth: but he that hath mercy 
on the poor, happy is he (21). He that oppresseth the poor, reproach- 
eth his Maker, but he that honcieth him, hath mercy on the poor. 
(Prov. 14:21, 31.) But love ye your enemies: and do good, and lend, 
hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be 
the children of the Highest. (Lu. 6:35.) But whoso hath this world's 
good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of 
compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? (I Jno. 
3:17.) Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver 
him in time of trouble. (Ps. 41:1.) The righteous considereth the 
cause of the poor; but the wicked regardeth not to know it. (Prov. 
29:7.) 

e. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither 
desire thou his dainty meats. (Prov. 23:6.) He that hasteth to be rich 
hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon 
him. (Prov. 28:22.) 

f. So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and 
he heareth the cry of the afflicted. (Job. 34:28.) For the oppression of 
the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord: I 
will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. (Ps. 12:5. 1 I 
know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the 
right of the poor. (Ps. 140:12.) 

g. Then shall he say also to them on the left hand. Depart from 
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his 
angels. (Math. 25:41.) Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: 
for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. (Ps. 6:8.) As there- 
fore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire: so shall it be in 
the end of this world. (Math. 13:40.) 

h. If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in 
the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. (Ex. 21:2.1 

i. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow 
with it. (Prov. 10:22.) For bodily exercise profiteth little; but god- 
liness is profitable unto all things, having promise that now is, and 
of that which is. to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) Delight thyself also in the 
Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (Ps. 37:4.) But 
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these 
things shall be added unto you. (Math. 6:33.) 

j. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, 
and my children: I will not go out free (5). Then his master shall 
bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or

thee and thine house, because he is well with 
thee; 

17 Then thou shalt take an s aul, and thrust 
it through his ear unto the door, and he shall 
be thy servant for ever. And also unto .thy 
maidservant thou shalt do likewise. 

18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when 
thou sendest him away i>ee from thee; for he 
hath been worth a double hired servant to 
thee, in serving thee six years: and the 2 Lord 
thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest. 

19 % All the firstling males that come of thy 
herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto 
the "Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work 
ivith the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the 
firstling of thy sheep. 

20 Thou shalt eat it before the 2 Lord thy 
God year by year in the place which the 2 Lord 
shall choose, thou and thy household. 

21 And if there be ^any blemish therein, as 
if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, 
thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the 2 Lord thy 
God. 

22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the 
unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, 
as the roebuck, and as the hart. 

23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood there- 
of; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as 
water. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 The feast of the passover, 9 of weeks, 13 of 
tabernacles. 16 Every male must offer, as 
he is able, at these three feasts. 18 Of 
judges and justice. 21 Groves and images 
are forbidden. 

1 Observe the month of A'blb, and keep the 
'passover "unto the 1 Lord thy God: for in the 
month of A'bib the Lord thy God brought thee 
forth out of E'gypt by night. 

2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the ^pass- 
over unto the l Lord thy God, of the flock and 
the herd, in the place which the x Lord shall 
choose to place his name there. 

3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; 
seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread 
'therewith, even the bread of affliction; for 
thou earnest forth out of the land of E'gypt in 
haste: that thou mayest remember the day 
when thou earnest forth out of the land of 
E'gypt all the days of thy life. 

4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen 
with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither 
''shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou 
sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all 
night until the morning. 

5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the 2 passover 
within any of thy gates, which the 'Lord thy 
God giveth thee: 

6 But at the place which the 'Lord thy God 
shall choose to place his name in, there thou 
shalt sacrifice the passover c at even, at the 
going down of the sun, at the season that thou 
earnest forth out of E'gypt. 



S. The pierced ear was a badge 
of slavery. 



Ch. 16. B. C. 1451. 



1. Jehovah, the eovenaut-name of 
God. 



2. The Feast of the Passover, 
commemorating the passing of the 
Death Angel over the Hebrew homes 
in Egypt. 



3. The Israelites left Egypt in 
such haste that they had no leavened 
bread prepared, hence the unleavened 
bread became to them bread of af- 
fliction, symbolizing the burdens of 
their servile life while in bondage. 



4. Called the Feast of Weeks from 
the fact that seven weeks or a week 
Of weeks intervened between the pass- 
over and this festival; also called 
Pentecost from its occurring on the 
fiftieth day from the second day of 
the passover. 



5. The Feast of Ingathering, when 
all the harvests had been gathered in. 
In the N. T. we read. "In the last 
day. that great day of the feast, Je- 
sus stood and cried saying, If any 
man thirst, let him come unto me 
and drink." 



7 And thou shalt roast d and eat it in the 
place which the 'Lord thy God shall choose: 
and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go 
unto thy tents. 

8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: 
and c 'on the seventh day shall be a solemn as- 
sembly to the 'Lord thy God: thou shalt do no 
work therein. 

9 II f Seven 'weeks shalt thou number unto 
thee: begin to number the seven weeks from 
such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle 
to the corn. 

10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks 
unto the 'Lord thy God with a tribute of a 
freewill offering of thine hand, which thou 
shalt give unto the 'Lord thy God, according 
#as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: 

11 And thou shalt rejoice before the 'Lord 
thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, 
and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and 
the Le'vite that is within thy gates, and the 
stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, 
that are among you, in the place which the 
'Lord thy God hath chosen to place his name 
there. 

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast 
a bondman in E'gypt: and thou shalt observe 
and do these statutes. 

13 II Thou shalt ''observe the feast r 'of taber- 
nacles seven days, after that thou hast gath- 
ered in thy corn and thy wine: 

14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, 
and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man- 
servant, and thy maidservant, and the Le'vite, 
the stranger, and the fatherless, and the wid- 
ow, that are within thy gates. 

15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn 
feast unto the 'Lord thy God in the place which 
the 'Lord shall choose: because the 'Lord thy 
God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and 
in all the works of- thine hands, therefore thou 
shalt surely rejoice. 

16 IT Three times in a year shall all thy 
males appear before the 'Lord thy God in the 
place which he shall choose; in the feast of 
unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, 
and in the feast of tabernacles : and they shall 
not appear before the 'Lord empty: 

17 Every man shall give as he is able, ac- 
cording to the blessing of the 'Lord thy God 
which he hath given thee. 

18 If Judges and officers shalt thou make thee 
in all thy gates, which the 'Lord thy God giv- 
eth thee, throughout thy tribes : and they shall 
judge the people with just judgment. 

19 'Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou 
shalt ■'not respect persons, ^'neither take a gift : 
for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and 
pervert the words of the righteous. 

20 That which is altogether just shalt thou 
follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the 
land which the 'Lord thy God giveth thee. 

21 H Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of 



unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an 
aul; and he shall serve him for ever. (Ex. 21:5, 6.) 

k. Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock, 
cr sheep, wherein is blemish, or an evil favoredness, for that is an 
abomination unto the Lord thy God. (Dt. 17:1.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, 
as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for 
us (7). Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with 
the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of 
sincerity and truth. (I Cor. 5:7, 8.) Through faith he kept the pass- 
over, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born 
should touch them. (Heb. 11:28.) 

b. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and 
that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 
(Ex. 12:10.) Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; 
neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the 
morning. (Ex. 34:25.) 

e. And about the 9th hour Jesus cried with a loud voice saying, 
My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me? (Math. 27:46.) 

d. And they shall eat the flesh, in that night roast with fire, and 
unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. (Ex. 12:8.) 
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; but 
the other holy offerings sod they in pots and in caldrons, and in pans, 
and divided them speedily among all the people. (II Chr. 35:13.) 



e. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh 
shall be a feast to the Lord. (Ex. 13:6.) But ye shall offer an offering 
made by fire unto the Lord seven days; and the seventh day is an holy 
convocation, and ye shall do no servile work therein. (Lev. 23:8.) 

f. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first-fruits of 
wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. (Ex. 
34:22.) Ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, 
from the day that ye brought the sheep of the wave offering; seven 
sabbaths shall be complete. (Lev. 23:15.) And when the day of Pente- 
cost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. (Acts 
2:1.) 

g. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in 
store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when 
I come. (I Cor. 16:2.) 

h. The 15th day of this 7th month shall be the feast of tabernacles 
for seven days unto the Lord. (Lev. 23:34.) And on the 15th day of the 
seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no 
servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days. (Num. 
29:12.) 

i. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou 
speak in a cause to decline after many to arrest judgment (2). Thou 
shall not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. (Ex. 23:2, 6.) 

j. These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have re- 
spect of persons in judgment. (Prov. 24:23.) 

k. And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and

any trees near unto the altar of the 'Lord thy 
God, which thou shalt make thee. 

22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any im- 
age; which the 'Lord thy God hateth. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 The things sacrificed must be sound. 2 Idol- 
aters must be slain. 8 Hard controversies 
are to be determined by the priests and 
judges. 14 The election, 16 and duty of a 
king. 

1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the 'Lord 
thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is 
"blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is 
an abomination unto the 'Lord thy God. 

2 ' If there be found among you, within any 
of thy gates which the "Lord thy God giveth 
thee, man or woman,, that hath wrought wick- 
edness in the sight of the 'Lord thy God, in 
transgressing his covenant, 

3 And hath gone and ,J served other gods, 
and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, 
or any of the host of heaven, which I have 
not commanded; 

4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard 
of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it 
be true, and the thing certain, that such abom- 
ination is wrought in Is'ra-el: 

5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or 
that woman, which have committed that ''wick- 
ed thing, unto thy gates, even that man or 
that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, 
till they die. 

6 At the °mouth of two witnesses, or three 
witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be 
put to death; but at the mouth of one witness 
he shall not be put to death. 

7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first 
upon him to put him to death, and afterward 
the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put 
the evil away from among you. 

8 r If there arise a matter too hard for thee 
in judgment, between blood and blood, between 
plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, 
being matters of controversy within thy gates : 
then shalt thou arise, d and get thee up into the 
place which the 'Lord thy God shall choose; 

9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the 
Le'vites, and unto the judge that shall be in 
those days, and enquire; c and they shall shew 
thee the sentence of judgment: 

10 And thou shalt do according to the sen- 
tence, which they of that place which the 'Lord 
shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt 
observe to do according to all that they inform 
thee:

12 And the man that f will do presumptuous- 
ly, and will not hearken unto the priest that 
standeth to "minister there before the : Lord

shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil

and do no more presumptuously.

to the end that he should multiply horses: 
forasmuch as the 'Lord hath said unto you. Ye 
shall henceforth return no more that way. 

17 Xeither shall he multiply wives to him- 
self, that '-'his heart turn not away: neither 
shall he greatly multiply to himself 'silver 
and gold. 

18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon 
the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write 
him a copy of this law in a book out Qf that 
which is before the priests the Le'vites: 

19 And it shall be with him, and he shall 
read therein all the days of his life: that he 
may learn to "'fear the 'Lord his God, to keep 
all the words of this law and these statutes, 
to do them: 

20 That his heart be not lifted up above his 
brethren, and that he turn 'not aside from 
the commandment, to the right hand, or to the 
left: to the end that he may prolong his days 
in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the 
midst of Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER 18. 

1 The Lord is the priests' and Levites' inherit- 
ance. 3 Tlie priest's due. 6 The Levite's 
portion. 9 The abominations of the nations 
are to be avoided. 15 Christ the Prophet 
is to be heard.

of Levi, °shall have no part nor inheritance 






perverteth the words of the righteous. (Ex. 23 :S.) A wicked man tak- 
eth a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment, (Prov. 
17:23.) Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift de- 
stroyeth the heart. (Ecc. 7 
Chapter 17. 

a. See ch. 1. Lev. 

b. And in all things that I have said unto you. be circumspect: and 
make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard 
out of thy mouth (13). Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor 
serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow 
them, and quite break down their images. (Ex. 23:13. 24.) Thou shalt 
have none other gods before me. (Dt. 5:7.) Now therefore put away, 
said he. the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart 
unto the Lord God of Israel. (Josh. 24:23.) 

c. Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death 
by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any 
person to cause him to die. (Xum. 35:30.) But if he will not hear 
thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two 
or three witnesses every word may be established. (Math. 18:16.) It is 
also written in your law that the testimonv of two men is true. (Jno. 
8:17.) 

d. But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of 
all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye 
seek, and thither thou shalt come. (Dt. 12:5.) 

e. And in controversy they shall stand in judgment: and they shall 
judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and 
my statutes in all mine assemblies, and thev shall hallow my sabbaths. 
(Ezek. 44:24.i 

f. But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he he 
born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord: and 
that soul shall he cut on from among his people. iXum. lo:30.) Yet 
let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they 
that strive with the priest. (Hos. 4:4.) 

g. For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to 
stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever. 
(Dt. 18:5.) 



h. And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you 
out of all your adversities and your tribulations: and ye have said unto 
him, Xay, but set a king over us. (I Sam. 10:19.) 

i. Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now 
make us a king to judge us like all the Rations (5). And the Lord 
said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. 
(I Sam. 8:5, 22 

j. And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chari- 
ots, and twelve thousand horsemen. (I Ks. 4:2-}.) Some trust in 
chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the 
Lord our God. iPs. 20:7.) Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, 
and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many: and 
in horsemen, because they are very strong. (Is. 31:1.) 

k. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hun- 
dred concubines: and his wives turned away bis heart. (I Ks. 11:3. i 

1. And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all 
the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold, 
none were of silver. (I Ks. 10:21.) He that is greedy of gain troubleth 
his own house, but he that hateth gifts shall live. (Prov. 15.2,. > 
Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till 
there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the 
earth! (Is. 5:8.) 

m. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin 
not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a 
good understanding have all they that do his commandments. (Ps. 
111:10.) Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole 
duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) 

n. Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, 
and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the 
davs of his life, save onlv in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. (I Ks. 
15:5.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren: 
the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised 
him. (Dt. 10:9.) And it shall be unto them for an inheritance; I am

the 'Lord made by fire, and his inheritance. 

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance 
,; among their brethren: the "Lord is their in- 
heritance, as he hath said unto them. 

3 r And this shall be the priest's due from 
the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, 
whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give 
unto the priest the shoulder, and the two 
cheeks, and the °maw. 

4 The c firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy 
wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the 
fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. 

5 For the 'Lord thy God hath chosen d him 
out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in 
the name of the Lord, him and his sons for 
ever. 

6 % And if a Le'vite come from any of thy 
gates out of all Is'ra-el, where he c sojourned, 
and come with all the desire of his mind unto 
the place which the Lord shall choose; 

7 Then he shall minister in the name of the 
Lord his God, as all his brethren the Le'vites 
do, which stand there before the Lord. 

8 They shall have like portions to eat, be- 
side that which cometh of the sale of his pat- 
rimony. 

9 "~ 4 When thou art come into the land which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee, ''thou shalt not 
learn to do after the abominations of those 
nations. 

10 There shall not be found among you 
any one that maketh his son or his daughter 
5 to pass through the fire, or that useth divina- 
tion, or an observer 01 times, or an enchanter, 
or a Vitch, 

11 Or a charmer, or a ccnsulter with fa- 
miliar spirits, or a wizard, or a 7 necromancer. 

12 For all that do these things are an 
abomination unto the Lord: and ^because of 
these abominations the 'Lord thy God doth 
drive them out from before thee. 

13 Thou shalt be "perfect ''with the 'Lord 
thy God. 

14 For these nations, which thou shalt pos- 
sess, hearkened unto observers of times, and 
unto diviners: but as for thee, the 'Lord thy 
God hath not suffered thee so to do.

thee a "Prophet from the midst of thee, of

3. The stomach of a ruminating

10. One of the most vexed pas- 
sages of scripture and has received 
various interpretations, namely: (1) 
That the word prophet refers to a 
particular person to be prominent in 
the nation's history; (2) that the 
word applied collectively to the en- 
tire body of Hebrew prophets; (3) 
that the word comprehends the plu- 
rality of prophets in an ideal unity at 
some future time culminating in 
Christ; (4) that the word relates di- 
rectly and exclusively to the Messiah; 
(5) that the word refers to a suc- 
cessive line of prophets finally culmi- 
nating in the Messiah. We give all 
the views that the reader may take

19 And it h shall come to pass, that whoso- 
ever will not hearken unto my words which he 
shall speak in my name, I will require it of 
him. 

20 But the prophet, which shall presume to 
speak a word in my name, which I have not 
commanded him to speak, or that shall speak 
in the name of other gods, even that prophet 
shall die. 

21 And if thou say in thine heart, How 
shall we know the word which the Lord hath 
not spoken? 

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of 
the 'Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to 
pass, that is the thing which the 'Lord hath 
not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it 
presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of 
him. 

CHAPTER 19. 
1 The cities of refuge. 4 The privilege there- 
of for the manslayer. 14 The landmark is 
not to be removed. 15 Two witnesses at the 
least. 16 The punishment of a false wit- 
ness. 

1 When the 'Lord thy God hath cut off the 
nations, whose land the 'Lord thy God giveth 
thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest 
in their cities, and in their houses; 

2 Thou shalt separate "three cities for thee 
in the midst of thy land, which the 'Lord thy 
God giveth thee to possess it. 

3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and di- 
vide the coasts of thy land, which the 'Lord 
thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three 
parts, that every slayer may flee thither. 

4 H And this is the case of the slayer, which 
shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso 
killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he 
hated not in time past; 

5 As when a man goefrh into the wood with 
his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand 
fetcheth a stroke with the ax to cut down the 
tree, and the : head slippeth from the 3 helve, 
and 4 lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; 
he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live: 

6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the 
slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake 
him, because the way is long, and slay him; 
whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch 
as he hated him not in time past. 

7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou 
shalt separate "three cities for thee. 



their inheritance; and ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am 
their possession. (Ez. 44:28.) 

b. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live 
of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are par- 
takers with the altar? (I Cor. 9:13.) 

c. Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of 
thy liquors; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. (Ex. 
22:29.) 

d. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister 
unto him, and to bless in name, his unto this day. (Dt. 10:8.) 

e. Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Le- 
vites, of the inheritance of their possession, cities to dwell in; and ye 
shall give also unto the Levites suburbs also for the cities round about 
them. And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of 
them shall be for their cattle: and for their goods, and for all their 
beasts. (Num. 35:2, 3.) 

f. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and 
shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own 
nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you. (Lev. 18:26.) Take 
heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that 
they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after 
their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gpds? even so 
will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God; for 
every abomination- to the Lord which he hateth have they done unto 
their gods: for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in 
the fire to their gods. (Dt. 12:30, 31.) 

g. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these 
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you. (Lev. 18:24.) If 
any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the 
temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (I Cor. 3:17.) 

h. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord 



appeared unto Abram and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk 
before me, and be thou perfect. (Gen. 17:1.) There was a man in the 
land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and up- 
right, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil (1). And the Lord 
said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is 
none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that 
feareth God, and escheweth evil? (Job. 1:1, 8.) Be ye therefore perfect, 
even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Math. 5:48.) Jesus 
said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and 
give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and 
follow me. (Math. 19:21.) Make you perfect in every good work to do 
his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through 
Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Heb. 13:21.) 

i. Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith unto him, We have found him, 
of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Naz- 
areth, the son of Joseph. (Jno. 1:45.) For Moses truly said unto the 
fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your 
brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he 
shall say unto you. (Acts 3:22.) 

j. When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know 
that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath 
taught me, I speak these things. (Jno. 8:28.) For I have not spoken 
of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a command- 
ment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that 
his commandment is life everlasting; whatsoever I speak therefore, 
even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (Jno. 12:49, 50.) 

k. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear 
that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. (Acts 3:23.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you 
cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses.

coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and

give unto thy fathers; 

9 If thou shalt keep all these command- 
ments to do them, which I command thee this 
day, to c love the "Lord thy God, and to walk 
ever in his ways; then shalt thou add a three 
cities more for thee, beside these three: 

10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy 
land, which the 'Lord thy God giveth thee for 
an inheritance, and so blood b'e upon thee. 

11 r But if any man d hate his neighbour, 
and lie in wait for him, and rise up against 
him, and smite him mortally that he die, and 
fleeth into one of these cities: 

12 Then the elders of his city shall send 
and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the 
hand of the avenger of blood, that he may 
die. 

13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou 
shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood 
from is'ra-el, that it may go well with thee. 

14 r Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's 
landmark, which they of old time have set in 
thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit 
in the land that the 'Lord thy God giveth thee 
to possess it. 

15 r °One witness shall not rise up against 
a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any 
sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two wit- 
nesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, 
shall the matter be established.

man to testify against him that which is 
wrong; 

17 Then both, the men, between whom the 
controversy is, shall stand before the 'Lord, 
before the priests and the judges, which shall 
be in those days; 

18 And the judges shall make diligent in- 
quisition: and, behold, if the witness be a 
ffalse witness, and hath testified falsely 
against his brother;

breatheth : 

17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; 
namely, the Hit'tltes, and the Am'or-ites, the 
Ca'naan-ites, and the Per'iz-zites, the Hi'vites, 
and the Jeb'u-sites; as the ^ord thy God hath 
commanded thee: 

18 That "they teach you not to do after all 
their abominations, which they have done unto 
their gods; so shall ye sin against the Lord 
your God. 

19 H When thou shalt besiege a city a long 
time, in making war against it to take it, 
thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by 
forcing an ax against them: for thou mayest 
eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down 
(for the tree of the field is man's life) to em- 
ploy them in the siege: 

20 Only the trees which thou knowest that 
they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy 
and cut them down; and thou shalt build bul- 
warks against the city that maketh war with 
thee, until it be subdued. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 The expiation of an uncertain murder. 10 
The usage of a captive taken to wife. 18 A 
stubborn son is to be stoned to death. 22 
The malefactor must not hang all night on 
a tree. 

1 *If one be found slain in the land which 
the 2 Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it, 
lying in the field, and it be not known who 
hath slain him: 

2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come 
forth, and they shall measure unto the cities 
which are round about him that is slain : 

3 And it shall be, that the city which is 
next unto the slain man, even the elders of 
that city shall take an heifer, which hath not 
been 3 wrought with, and which hath not drawn 
in the yoke; 

4 And the elders of that city shall bring 
down the heifer irnto a rough valley, which is 
neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the 
heifer's neck there in the valley: 

5 And the priests the sons of Le'vi shall 
come near; for them the 2 Lord thy God hath 
chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in 
the name of the 2 Lord; and by their "word 
shall every controversy and every stroke be 
tried : 

6 And all the elders of that city, that are 
next unto the slain man, 6 shall wash their 
hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the 
valley: 

7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands 
have not shed this blood, neither have our 
eyes seen it.

Is'ra-el, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay 



4. Not a human being was to be 
left alive. Their idolatrous worship

4. Vs. 10-14 detail the rules con- 
cerning the captured females in wars 
after the Canaanites had been ex- 
tirpated. This law was far in ad- 
vance of any other nation of that 
time. 



5. Vs. 15-17 relate to the right of

but seeks to prevent Its abuse.

not innocent blood ^unto thy people of Is'- 
ra-el's charge. And the blood shall be for- 
given them. 

9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of in- 
nocent blood from among you, when thou shalt 
do that which is right in the sight of the 
"Lord. 

10 If 4 When thou goest forth to war against 
thine enemies, and the 2 Lord thy God hath 
delivered them into thine hands, and thou 
hast taken them captive, 

11 And seest among the captives a beautiful 
woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou 
wouldest have her to thy wife; 

12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine 
house; and she shall shave her head, and pare 
her nails; 

13 And she shall put the raiment of her 
captivity from off her, and shall remain in 
thine house, and bewail her father and her 
mother a full month: and after that thou shalt 
go in unto her, and be her husband, and she 
shall be thy wife. 

14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight 
in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she 
will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for 
money, thou shalt not make merchandise of 
her, because thou hast humbled her. 

15 1f 5 If a man have two wives, one beloved, 
and another hated, and they have bom him 
children, both the beloved and the hated; and 
if the firstborn son be her's that was hated: 

16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his 
sons to inherit that which he hath, that he 
may not make the son of the beloved firstborn 
before the son of the hated, which is indeed 
the firstborn: 

17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the 
hated for the firstborn, by ^giving him a 
double portion of all that he hath : for he is 
the beginning of his strength; the right of the 
firstborn is his. 

18 % 6 If a man have a stubborn and rebel- 
lious son, which will not obey the voice of his 
^father, or the voice of his mother, and that, 
when they have chastened him, will not heark- 
en unto them: 

19 Then shall his father and his mother lay 
hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders 
of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 

20 And they shall say unto the elders of his 
city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, 
he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, 
and a drunkard. 

21 And all the men of his city sha*ll stone 
him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou 
put evil away from among you; and all is'- 
ra-el "shall hear, and fear. 

22 f And if a man have committed a sin 
worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, 
and thou hang 7 him on a tree: 



f. And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt 
indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy 
their cities. And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and deliv- 
ered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their 
cities (2, 3). So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, 
until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land. (Num. 
21:2, 3, 35.) And all the spoi 1 of these cities, and the cattle, the chil- 
dren of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote 
with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left 
they any to breathe. (Josh. 11:14.) 

g. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they 
may serve other gods; so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against 
you, and destroy thee suddenly. (Dt. 7:4.) Be not deceived; evil com- 
munications corrupt good manners. (I Cor. 15:33.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between 
blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, 
being matters of controversy, within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, 
and get thee up into the place which the Lord thy God shall choose; 
And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge 
that shall be in those days, and enquire, and they shall show thee the 
sentence of judgment. (Dt. 17:8, 9.) 

b. "Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret 
faults. (Ps. 19:12.) When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, 
but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his bands 
before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just 
person; see ye to it. (Math. 27:24.) 

c. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 



The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant 
in goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) With the merciful thou wilt show 
thyself merciful: with an upright man thou wilt show thyself up- 
right. (Ps. 18:25.) Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and 
say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not 
cause mine anger to fall upon you; for I am merciful, saith the Lord, 
and I will not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merci- 
ful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) And the publican, 
standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, 
but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 
(Luke 18:13.) 

d. Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee. 
O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay 
not upon us innocent blood; for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased 
thee. (Jonah 1:14.) 

e. Now the sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel, (for he was 
the first-born); but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his 
birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel: and 
the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. (I Chr. 5:1.) 

f. Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long 
upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Ex. 20:12.) Ye 
shall fear every man, his mother, and his father, and keep my sab- 
baths; I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:3.) My son, hear the in- 
struction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother. (Prov. 
1:8.) Whoso curseth his father or his mother, bis lamp shall be put 
out in obscure darkness. (Prov. 20:20.) Children, obey your parents 
in the Lord; for this is right. (Eph. 6:1.) 

g. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any 
such wickedness as this is among you. (Dt. 13:11.)

punishment of him that slandereth his wife.

1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his 
"sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: 
thou shalt in any case bring them again unto 
thy brother. 

2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, 
or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring 
it unto thine own house, and it shall be with 
thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou 
shalt restore it to him again. 

3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; 
and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and 
with all lost thing of thy brother's, which 
he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou 
do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself. 

4 If Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or 
a his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself 
from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift 
them up again. 

5 H 'The woman 6 shall not wear that which 
pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man

are abomination unto the "Lord thy God.

in the way in any tree, or on the ground, 
whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the

7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam 
go, and take the young to thee; that it may 
be tf well with thee, and that thou mayest pro- 
long thy days.

thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof,

13 1 If any man take a wife, and go in 
unto her, and hate her, 

14 And give occasions of speech against her, 
and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, 
I took this woman, and when I came to her, 
I found her not a maid: 

15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and 
her mother, take and bring forth the tokens 
of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the 
city in the gate: 

16 And the damsel's father shall say unto 
the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man 
to wife, and he hateth her; 

17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of 
speech against her, saying, I found not thy 
daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens 
of my daughter's virginity. And they shall 
spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 

18 And the elders of that city shall take 
that man and "chastise *him; 

19 And they shall amerce him in an hun- 
dred shekels of silver, and give them unto the 
father of the damsel, because he hath brought 
up an evil name upon a virgin of Is'ra-el: and 
she shall be his wife; he may not put her 
away all his days. 

20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens 
of virginity be not found for the damsel: 

21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to 
the door of her father's house, and the men 
of her city shall stone her with stones that 
she die: because she hath wrought folly in 
Is'ra-el, to play the whore in her father's 
house: so shalt thou put A evil away from 
among you. 

22 r If a man be found lying with 'a woman 
married to an husband, then they shall both 
of them die, both the man that lay with the 
woman, and the woman : so shalt thou put 
away evil from is'ra-el. 

23 *T If a damsel that is a virgin be be- 
trothed unto an husband, and a man find her 
in the city, and lie with her; 

24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto 
the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them 
with stones that they die; the damsel, because 
she cried not, being in the city; and the man. 
because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: 
so thou shalt put away evil from among you. 

25 If But if a man find a betrothed damsel 
in the field, and the man force her, and lie 
with her: then the man only that lay with 
her shall die: 

26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do noth- 
ing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of 



h. And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide; and as 
soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take 
his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate 
of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth 
unto this day. (Josh. 8:29.) Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, 
and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, 
It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. (Jno. 18:31.) 

i. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made 
a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a 
tree. (Gal. 3:13.) And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of 
the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that 
the fierce anger of the Lord may he turned away from Israel. (Num. 
25:1.) 

j. Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I 
dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel. (Num. 
35:34.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou 
shalt surely bring it back to him again. (Ex. 23:4.) Be kindly affec- 
tioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one 
another. (Rom. 12:10.) And this commandment have we from him. 
That he who loveth God love his brother also. (I Jno. 4:21.) Thus 
speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show 
mercy and compassions every man to his brother. (Zech. 7:9.) 

b. Let all things be done decently and in order. (I Cor. 14:40.) 

c. And whether it be a cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young 
both in one day. (Lev. 22:28.) Thy righteousness is like the great 
mountains; thy judgments are a great deep; O Lord, thou preservest 
man and beast. (Ps. 36:6.) Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? 
and not one of them is forgotten before God? (Luke 12:6.) 

d. Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, 
which I command thee this day, that it may go w T ell with thee, and with 
thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon 
the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) 



e. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what 
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what com- 
munion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with 
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what 
agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of 
the living God: as God hath said. I will dwell in them, and walk in 
them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (II Cor. 
6:14-16.) 

f. Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender 
with a diverse kind; thoa shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: 
neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee. 
(Lev. 19:19.) 

g. Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, 
such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness: and place such 
over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of 
fifties, and rulers of tens. (Ex. 18:21.) For he is the minister of God to 
thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid: for he bear- 
eth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God; a revenger to 
execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. (Rom. 13:4.) 

h. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to 
death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your 
God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out 
of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord 
thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away 
from the midst of thee. (Dt. 13:5.) 

i. And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, 
even he that committeth adultery Tith his neighbor's wife, the adul- 
terer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. (Lev. 20:10.) Te 
have heard that it was said by them of old time. Thou shalt not commit 
adultery: But I say unto you. That whosoever looketh on a woman to 
lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 
(Math. 5:27, 28.) Marriage is honorable in all. and the bed undefiled; 
but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.)

neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this 
matter : 

27 For he found her in the field, and the 
betrothed damsel cried, and there was none 
to save her. 

28 1f If a man find a -'damsel that is a vir- 
gin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on 
her, and lie with her, and they be found; 

29 Then the man that lay with her shall 
give unto the damsel's father fifty 'shekels of 
silver, and she shall be his wife; because he 
hath humbled her, he may not put her away 
all his days. 

30 H A man shall not Hake his father's wife, 
nor discover his father's skirt.

1 'He that is wounded in the stones, or hath

eration shall he not enter into the congrega- 
tion of the Lord. 

3 An Am'mon-ite or Mo'ab-ite shall not en- 
ter into the congregation of the Lord; even to 
their tenth generation shall they not enter 
into the congregation of the Lord for ever: 

4 Because they met you not with "bread and 
with water in the way, when ye came forth 
out of E'gypt; and because ''they hired against 
thee Balaam the son of Be'or of Pe'thor of 
Mes'o-po-ta'mi-a, to curse thee. 

5 Nevertheless the = Lord thy God would not 
hearken unto Ba'laam; but the 2 Lord thy God 
turned the curse f into a blessing unto thee-, 
because the 2 Lord thy God loved thee. 

6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their 
prosperity all thy days for ever._ 

7 If Thou shalt' not abhor an E'dom-ite; for 
he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an

4. The word usury here means in-

13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy 
weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease 
thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and 
shalt turn back and cover that which cometh 
from thee: 

14 For the 2 Lord thy God e walketh in the 
midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give 
up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall 
thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing 
in thee, and turn away from thee. 

15 11 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master 
the servant which is escaped from his master 
unto thee: 

16 He shall dwell with thee, even among 
you, in that place which he shall choose in 
one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: 
thou shalt not oppress him. 

17 1f There shall be no 3 whore of the daugh- 
ters of Is'ra-el, nor a sodomite of the sons of 
Is'ra-el. 

18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, 
or the price of a dog, into the house of the 
2 Lord thy God for any vow: for even both 
these are abomination unto the 2 Lord thy God. 

19 11 fThou shalt not lend upon 4 usury to 
thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, 
usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: 

20 Unto a stranger "thou mayest lend upon 
'usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not 
lend upon usury: ''that the 2 Lord thy God may 
bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand 
to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 

21 H When thou shalt 'vow a vow unto the 
Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: 
for the Lord thy God will surely require it of 
thee; and it would be sin in thee. 

22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall 
be no sin in thee. 

23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou 
shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offer- 
ing, according as thou hast vowed unto the 
Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with 
thy mouth.

refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the 
dowry of virgins. (Ex. 22:16, 17.) 

k. The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it 
is thy father's nakedness. (Lev. 18:8.) Cursed be he that Iieth with 
his father's wife; because lie uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the 
people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 27:20.) It is reported commonly that 
there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as 
named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 
(I Cor. 5:1.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine, 
and he was the priest of the most high God. (Gen. 14:18.) He that 
receiveth you, receiveth me, and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that 
sent me (40). And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little 
ones a cup of cold water, only in the name of a disciple, verily I say 
unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. (Math. 10:40, 42.) 

b. He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to 
Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to 
call him, saying. Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt; behold, 
they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me. Come 
now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty 
for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and 
that I may drive them out of the land; for I wot that he whom thou 
blesseth is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. (Num. 
22:5, 6.) 

c. As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the 
curse causeless shall not come. (Prov, 26:2.) 



d. Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger; for ye know the heart 
of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Ex. 
23:9.) Love ye therefore the stranger; for ye were strangers in the 
land of Egypt. (Dt. 10:19.) 

e. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be 
my people. (Lev. 26:12.) And what agreement hath the temple of God 
with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, 
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and 
they shall be my people. (II Cor. 6:16.) 

f. Take thou no usury of him, or increase; but fear thy God; that 
thy brother may live with thee. (Lev. 25:36.) 

g. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as 
one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were 
strangers in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:34 l 

h. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved 
when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing the Lord thy- 
God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine 
hand unto. (Dt. 15:10.) 

i. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him. and he shall hear thee, 
and thou shalt pay thy vows. (Job 22:27.) When thou vowest a vow 
unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools; pay 
that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, 
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. (Ecc. 5:4, 5.) 

j. At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; 
and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, 
and to eat. (Mat. 12:1.) 

k. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth ; for- 
nication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and cov- 
etousness, which is idolatry. (Col. 3:5.)

her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her 
hand, and send her out of his house. 

2 And when she is departed out of his house, 
she may go and be another man's wife. 

3 And if the latter husband hate her, and 
write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it

or if the latter husband die, which took her to 
be his wife; 

4 Her former husband, which sent her away, 
may not take her again to be his wife, after 
that she is defiled; for that is abomination be- 
fore the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the 
land to sin, which the "Lord thy God giveth 
thee for an inheritance. 

5 r When a man hath taken a new wife, he 
shall not go out to war, neither shall he be 
charged with any business: but he shall be 
free at home one year, and shall cheer "up his 
wife which he hath taken.

life to pledge. 

7 * If a man be found ^stealing any of his 
brethren of the children of Is'ra-el, and mak- 
eth merchandise of him, or selleth him; then

unto Mirl-am by the way, after that ye were 
come forth out of E'gypt. 

10 "~ When thou dost lend thy brother any 
thing, thou shalt not go into his house to 
fetch his pledge. 

11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man 
to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the 
pledge abroad unto thee. 

12 And if the man be 4 poor, thou shalt not 
sleep with his pledge: 

13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the 
pledge again when the sun goeth down, that 
he may sleep in his own raiment, d and bless 
thee: and it shall be 'righteousness unto thee 
before the TLord thy God. 

14 *" Thou shalt not 'oppress an hired serv- 
ant that is poor and needy, whether he be of 
thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in 
thy land within thy gates: 

15 At his day ^thou shalt give him his hire, 
neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he 
is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest 
''he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be 
sin unto thee.

fore his face, according to his a fault, by a 
certain number. 

3 ''Forty stripes he may give him, and not

eye shall not pity her.

'Lord thy God, A Syr'i-an ready to perish was 
my father, and he went down into E'gypt, and 
sojourned there with a & few, and became there 
a nation, great, mighty, and populous: 

6 And the E-gyp'tian§ c evil entreated us, 
and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bond- 
age: 

7 And when we cried unto the 'Lord God 
of our fathers, the 'Lord d heard our voice, and 
looked on our affliction, and our labour, and 
our oppression : 

8 And the 'Lord brought us forth out of 
E'gypt with a mighty hand, and with an out- 
stretched arm, and with great terribleness, 
and with signs, P and with wonders: 

9 And he hath brought us into this place, 
and hath given us this land, even a land that 
floweth with milk and honey. 

10 And now, behold, I have brought the 
firstfruits of the land, which thou, O 'Lord, 
fhast given me. And thou shalt set it before 
the 'Lord thy God, and worship before the 
'Lord thy God:

thing which the 'Lord thy God hath given 
unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the 
Le'vite, and the stranger that is among you.

which is the *year of tithing, and hast given 
it unto the Le'vite, the stranger, the father- 
less, and the widow, that they may eat within 
thy gates, and be filled;

God, I have brought away the hallowed things 
out of mine house, and also have given them 
unto the Le'vite, and unto the stranger, to the 
fatherless, and to the widow, according to all 
thy commandments which thou hast com-

mandments, neither have I ■'forgotten them: 

14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourn- 
ing, neither have I taken away ought thereof 
for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof 
for the dead: but I have hearkened to the 
voice of the 'Lord my God, and have done 
according to all that thou hast commanded me.

from heaven, and bless thy people Is'ra-el, and

c. Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning 
redeeming, and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man 
plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was .a tes- 
timony in Israel. (Ruth 4:7.) 

d. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in 
weight, or in measure. (Lev. 19:35.) Divers weights are an abomina- 
tion unto the Lord, and a false balance is not good. (Prov. 20:23.) Ye 
shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. (Ezek. 
45:10.) Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with 
the bag of deceitful weights? (Mic. 6:11.) 

e. A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight 
is his delight. (Prov. 11:1.) That no man go beyond and defraud his 
brother in any matter; because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, 
as we also have forewarned you and testified. (I Thes. 4:6.) 

f. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there 
is no fear of God before his eyes. (Ps. 36:1.) By mercy and truth in- 
iquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. 
(Prov. 16:6.) There is no fear of God before their eyes. (Rom. 3:18.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. And whatsoever is ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto 
the Lord, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall 
eat of it. (Num. 18:13.) Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with 
the first-fruits of all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) 

b. And the sons of Joseph, which were born in Egypt, were two 
souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were 
threescore and ten. (Gen. 46:27.) Thy fathers went down into Egypt 
with threescore and ten persons; and now the Lord thy God hath made 
thee as the stars of heaven for multitude. (Dt. 10:22.) 

c. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters, to afflict them with 
their burdens. (Ex. 1:11.) 



d. And the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord 
had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their 
affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. (Ex. 4:31.) 

e. Or hath God essayed to go and take him a nation from the 
midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and 
by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great 
terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt 
before your eyes? (Dt. 4:34.) 

f. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow 
with it. (Prov. 10:22.) 

g. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to re- 
joice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat 
and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. 
(Ecc. 3:12, 13.) 

h. And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land 
or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's; it is holy unto the Lord. 
(Lev. 27:30.) 

i. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithes 
of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates. 
(Dt. 14:28.) 

j. I am small and despised; yet do not I forget thy precepts (141). 
Consider mine affliction and deliver me; for I do not, forget thy law 
(153). I have gone astray like a lost sheep; see thy servant; for I do 
not forget thy commandments. (Ps. 119:141, 153, 176.) 

k. Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of 
thy holiness and thy glory; where is thy zeal and thy strength; the 
sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they re- 
strained? (Is. 63:15.) Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord; for he is 
raised up out of his holy habitation. (Zech. 2:13.)

the king of Egypt, from whom M. 
had fled.- died. Then Jehovah told M. 
to return to Egypt, as all the men 
who sought his life were dead. M. 
at once set out with his wife and 
son. but on the way. Jehovah sought 
to kill him because he was not cir- 
cumcised. Zipporah. his wife, avert- 
ed the divine wrath by circumcising 
their son. On the way. after M. had 
reached Goshen, the angel of Jehovah 
appeared to him in a burning bush, 
without being consumed. Jehovah 
told M. that he had seen the oppres- 
sion of bis people and had come to 
deliver them and to bring them to 
Canaan, and that he. M.. was to be 
their leader. M. feared that the peo- 
ple would not .believe Jehovah had 
sent him: whereupon. Jehovah gave 
three signs to convince them: first, a 
rod turned into a serpent and 
back into a rod again; second, 
his hand made leprous and then 
restored to health: third water 
poured on the ground and turned 
into blood. Then M. plead his 
lack of fluent speech, and Jehovah 
answered. "I will be with tby mouth 
and teach thee what to say." Pha- 
raoh refused to let the Israelites go. 
whereupon Jehovah, through M.. af- 



flicted the Egyptians with the ten 
plagues, closing the plague season 
with the slaying of the firstborn of 
the Egyptians, and the E.. in a panic, 
made the I. start on their journey in 
such haste that they carried their 
dough with them unbaked. The I.'s, 
under the leadership of M.. were 
guided by Jehovah in a pillar of cloud 
by day. and fire by night. M. led the 
people in the wilderness toward the 
sea. Pharaoh, recovering from his 
terror, pursued them with his army. 
Coming up to them, the pillar placed 
itself between the I.'s and the E.'s, 
A strong east wind drove back the 
waters of the Red Sea. and M. and 
his people crossed in safety, the wa- 
ters again coming together as the 
hosts of Pharaoh were attempting to 
cross and drowning them all. From 
the sea M. led Israel through the wil- 
derness to Sinai and they encamped 
before the mountain. Jehovah came 
down upon Sinai, called M. to him. 
and conversed with him. M. was 
alone allowed to approach Jehovah, 
and fr^m him. while on the mount. 
M. received the ten commandments, 
that is. the words of the covenant 
written on two tables of stone. With- 
out anything to eat or drink, M. re- 



mained with Jehovah forty days and 
forty nights. During this time the 
people corrupted themselves and made 
the golden calf. Jehovah now pre- 
pared to kill them all, but upon the 
intercession of M.. he repented of the 
evil he would do them. When M. 
reached the camp, he called to his 
aid all who were faithful to Jeho- 
vah. The Levites responded and at 
the command of M-. killed 3.000 of 
the evildoers. Because of the sin of 
the people. Jehovah now refused to go 
with them, essaying to send his an- 
gel: but. being moved by their pray- 
ers, he again repented and said. "Mj 
presence shall go with thee." After 
the departure from Sinai, the I.'s 
were fed with manna from heaven. 
At Kadesh they lacked water, but 
at the command of Jehovah. M. 
smote the rock and the waters burst 
forth. M. sent Caleb and others to 
spy out the highlands of Canaan. They 
reported the land fertile, but the in- 
habitants powerful. Because his peo- 
ple had tempted him ten times, none 
of the adults of that generation save 
Caleb were allowed to enter Canaan. 
Jehovah called M. to the top of Pis- 
gah, whence he showed him all Ca- 
naan. After M.'s death, Jehovah bur- 



ied him in the valley of Mo-ib; his 
tomb no man knoweth. Though Je- 
hovah had communed with bis patri- 
archs. M. was the first man to re- 
ceive a divine commission to perform 
miracles. (Hast.)

were added: and still others that the

you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. (Ex. 6:7.) For thou

thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon

saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise 
ye the Lord. (Ps. 148:14.)

c. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them; I am

that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee, for ever. (fit. 4:40.) Therefore shall ye keep all the 
commandments which I command thee this day that ye may be strong, 
and go in and possess the land whither ye go to possess it. (Dt. ll:S.j 
If thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to ob- 
serve to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I command 
thee this dav; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake 
thee.' (Dt. 2S:15.) 

d. Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make 
unto you gods of gold. (Ex. 20:23.) Thou shalt make thee no molten 
gods. (Ex. 34:17.) Te shall make you no idols nor graven image, 
neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image 
of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord, your God. 
(Lev. 26:1.) Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any like- 
ness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth be-

1 The blessings for obedience. 15 The curses 

for disobedience. 

1 'And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt 
hearken 3 diligently a unto the voice of the 2 Lord 
thy God, to observe and to do all his command- 
ments which I command thee this day, that 
the 2 Lord thy God will set thee a on high above 
all nations of the earth : 

2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, 
and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto 
the voice of the 2 Lord thy God. 

3 Blessed 6 shalt thou be in the city, and 
blessed shalt thou be in the field. 

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and 
the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy 
cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks 
of thy sheep. 

5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy 4 store. 

6 Blessed c shalt' thou be when thou comest 
in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest 
out. 

7 The 2 Lord shall cause thine enemies that 
rise up against thee to be smitten before thy 
face: they shall come out against thee one 
way, and flee before thee seven ways. 

8 The 2 Lord shall command the blessing 
upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that 
''thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall 
bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee. 

9 The 2 Lord shall establish thee an e holy 
people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto 
thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of 
the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. 

10 And all people of the earth shall see that 



g. He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, 
and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. (Dt. 10:18.) 

h. The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover; it is 
thy father's nakedness. (Lev. 18:8.) It is reported commonly that 
there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much 
as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 
(I Cor. 5:1.) 

i. And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. (Lev. 
24:1 1.) Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a mur- 
derer, which is guilty of death; but he shall be surely put to death. 
(Num. 35:31.) 

j. And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: 
Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant. (Jer.

curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all 
things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (Gal. 
3:10.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any 
people. (Prov. 14:34.) But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that 
worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. (Rom. 2:10.) 

b. Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord: that walketh in his 
ways (1). Behold, that thus shall a man be blessed that feareth the 
Lord (4). The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion. And thou shalt see the 
good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. (Ps. 128:1, 4, 5.) 

c. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from 
this time forth, and even for evermore. (Ps. 121:8.)

fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy 
ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto 
thy fathers to give thee. 

12 The "Lord shall open unto thee his good 
treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy 
land in his season, and to bless all the work 
of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many 
nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 

13 And the 2 Lord shall make thee the head, 
and not the tail ; and thou shalt be above only, 
and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou 
hearken unto the commandments of the Lord 
thy God, which I command thee this day, to 
observe and to do them: 

14 And thou ''shalt not go aside from any 
of the words which I command thee this day, 
to the right hand, or to the left, to go after 
other gods to serve them.

kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

20 The 2 Lord shall send upon thee cursing, 
'vexation, and 'rebuke, in all that thou settest 
thine hand unto for to do, until thou be de- 
stroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because 
of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou 
hast forsoken me. 

21 The 2 Lord shall make the pestilence 
cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee 
from off the land, whither thou goest to pos- 
sess it. 

22 The 2 Lord shall smite thee with a con- 
sumption, and with a fever, and with an in- 
flammation, and with an extreme burning, and 
with the sword, and with blasting, and with 
mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou 
perish. 

23 And thy heaven that is over thy head 
shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee 
shall be iron. 

24 The 2 Lord shall make the rain of thy 
land powder and dust: from heaven shall it 
come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 

25 The 2 Lord shall cause thee to be smitten 
before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one 



Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou 
puttest thine hand unto. (Dt. 15:10.) Let the beauty of the Lord our 
God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; 
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. (Ps. 90:17.) 

e. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep 
my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all 
people; for all the earth is mine. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom 
of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt 
speak unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 19:5, 6<) We are thine; thou 
never bearest rule over them; they were not called by thy name. (Is. 
63:19.) 

f. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble them- 
selves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways: 
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal 
their land. (II Chr. 7:14.) 

g. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no 
sorrow with it. (Prov. 10:22.) For bodily exercise profiteth little; but 
godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that 
now is, and of that which is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

h. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest ob- 
serve to do according to all the law which Moses my servant com- 
manded thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou 
mayest prosper whither soever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7.) 

i. The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked; but he 
blesseth the habitation of the just. (Prov. 3:33.) If ye will not hear, 
and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith 
the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse 
your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already because ye do not lay 
it to heart. (Mai. 2:2.)

not be healed. 

28 The "Lord shall smite thee with madness, 
and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not 
prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only 
oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man

be violently taken away from before thy face, 
and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep

of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

thy God, to keep his commandments and his

and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

God with joyfulness, and with gladness of 
heart, for the abundance of all tnings;

which the Lord shall send against thee, in 
hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and 
in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke 
of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed 
thee.

thy God hath given thee.

own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy 
daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given 
thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, where-

you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil 
toward his brother, and toward the wife of 
his bosom, and toward the remnant of his 
children which he shall leave: 

55 So that he will not give to any of them 
of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat : 
because he hath nothing left him in the siege, 
and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies 
shall distress thee in all thy gates. 

56 The tender and. delicate woman among 
you, which would not adventure to set the 
sole of her foot upon the ground for delicate-

out from between her feet, and toward her 
children which she shall bear: for she shall eat 
them for want of all things secretly in the

olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but 
shalt not drink wine. (Mich. 6:15.) Ye have sown much, and bring 
in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled 
with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm: and he that earn- 
eth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. (Hag. 1:6.) 

1 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and 
shall spread his wings over Moab. (Jer. 48:40.) Our persecutors are 
swifter than the eagles of the heaven, they pursued us upon the moun- 



tains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness. (Lam. 4:19.) He shall 
come as an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have 
transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. (Hos. 8:1.) 

m. And the king said unto her. What aileth thee? And she an- 
swered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him 
today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and 
did ear him; and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that 
we may eat him; and she hath hid her son. (II Ks. 6:28, 29.) And 1 
will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their 
daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the 
siege and straitness wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their 
lives, shall straiten them. (Jer. 19:9.) The hands of the pitiful women 
have sodden their own children, they were their meat in the destruction 
of the daughter of my people. (Lam. 4:10.) 

n. I am the Lord; that is my name; and my glory will I not give 
to another, neither my praise to graven images. (Is. 42:8.)

great plagues, and of long continuance, and 
sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 

60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the 
diseases of E gj* pt, which thou wast afraid of; 
and they shall cleave unto thee. 

61 Also every sickness, and every plague, 
which is not written in the book of this law, 
them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou 
be destroyed. 

62 And ye shall be left few in number, 
whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for 
multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the 
voice of the "Lord thy God. 

63 And it shall come to pass, that as the 
2 Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and 
to multiply you; so the : Lord "will rejoice over 
you to destroy you, and to bring you to 
nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the 
land whither thou goest to possess it. 

64 And the 2 Lord shall scatter thee^among 
all people, from the one end of the earth even 
unto the other; and there thou shalt serve 
other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers 
have known, even wood and stone. 

65 And among these nations shalt thou find 
no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have 
rest: but the "Lord shall give thee there a 
trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sor- 
row of mind : 

66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before 
thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and 
shalt have none assurance of thy life: 

67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would 
God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, 
Would God it were morning! for the fear of 
thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for 
the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 

68 And the "Lord shall bring thee into 
E'gypt again with ships, by the way whereof 
I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more 
again : and there ye shall be sold unto your 
enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no 
man shall buy you. 

CHAPTER 29. 
1 Moses exhorteth them to obedience, by the 
memory of the works they have seen. 10 
All are presented before the Lord to enter 
into his covenant. 29 Secret things belong 
unto God. 

1 These are the words of the covenant, 
which the 'Lord commanded Mo'§e§ to make 
with the children of is'ra-el in the land of 
Mo'ab, beside the covenant which he made 
with them in 2 H5'reb. 

2 H And Mo'se§ called unto all Is'ra-el, and 
said unto them, Ye have seen all that the 
'Lord did before your eyes in the land of 
E'gypt unto Pha/radh, and unto all his serv- 
ants, and unto all his land; 

3 The great temptations which thine eyes 
have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 

4 Yet the 'Lord hath not given you an heart 
to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, 
unto this day. 

5 And I have "led you forty years in the 
wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old 
upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon 
thy foot. 

6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye

NOTE.— In ens. 29. 30 tbe covenant 
which Jehovah commanded Moses to 
make with the people is repeated, 
just as they are about to enter the 
promised land. 



1. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



2. The mountain system of which 
Sinai was the summit. 



3. In vs. 14. 15. Moses tells the 
people that the covenant Jehovah 
made with them is not to them only. 
but to their children also. "For the 
promise is unto you. and to your 
children, and to all them that are 
afar off." Acts 2:39. 



drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might 
know that I am the 'Lord your God. 

7 And when ye came unto this place, Si'hon 
the king of Hesh'bon, and Og the king of 
Ba'shan, came out against us unto battle, and 
we smote them: 

8 And we took their land, and gave it for 
an inheritance unto the Reu'ben-ites, and to 
the Gad'Ites, and to the half tribe of Ma- 
nas'seh. 

9 b Keep therefore the words of this cove- 
nant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all 
that ye do. 

10 II Ye stand this day all of you before the 
'Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, 
your elders, and your officers, with all the men 
of Is'ra-el, 

11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy 
stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer 
of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 

12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant 
with the 'Lord thy God, and into his oath, 
which the 'Lord thy God maketh with thee this 
day: 

13 That he may ''establish thee to day for a 
people unto himself, and that he may be unto 
thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as 
he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to A 'bra-ham, 
to l'§aac, and to Ja'cob. 

14 3 Neither with you only do I make ''this 
covenant and this oath; 

15 But with him that standeth here with us 
this day before the 'Lord our God, and also 
with him that is not here with us this day: 

16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the 
land of E'gypt; and how we came through the 
nations which ye passed by; 

17 And ye have seen their abominations, 
and their idols, wood and stone, silver and 
gold, which were among them:) 

18 Lest there should be among you man, or 
woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turn- 
eth away this day from the 'Lord our God, to 
go and serve the gods of these nations; lest 
there should be among you a root that beareth 
gall and wormwood; 

19 And it come to pass, when he heareth 
the words of this curse, that he bless himself 
in his heart, saying, c l shall have peace, though 
I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to 
add ^drunkenness to thirst: 

20 The 'Lord will not spare him, but then 
the danger of the 'Lord and his .'' jealousy shall 
smoke against that man, and all the curses 
that are written in this book shall lie upon 
him, and the 'Lord shall blot out his name from 
under heaven. 

21 And the Lord shall separate him unto 
evil out of all the tribes of Is'ra-el, according 
to all the curses of the covenant that are writ- 
ten in this book of the law: 

22 So that the generation to come of your 
children that shall rise up after you, and the 
stranger that shall come from a far land, shall 
say, when they see the plagues of that land, 
and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid 
upon it; 

23 And that the whole land thereof is brim- 



o. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear 
cometh. (Prov. 1:26.) Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the 
Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge 
me of mine enemies. (Is. 1:24.) 

Chapter 29. 

a. And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God 
led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to 
prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldst 
keep his commandments, or no. (Dt. 8:2.) 

b. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest ob- 
serve to do according to all the law which Moses my servant command- 
ed thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou 
mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7.) 

c. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make na- 
tions of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish 
my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their 
generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to 
thy seed after thee. (Gen. 17:6, 7.) 

d. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no 



place have been soug"ht for the second. For, finding fault with them, 
he saith, Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a 
new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 
(Heb. 8:7, 8.) 

e. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are cor- 
rupt; they have done abominable works; there is none that doeth good. 
(Ps. 14:1.) 

f. Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take coun- 
sel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my 
spirit, that they may add sin to sin. (Is. 30:1.) 

g. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger 
smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? (Ps. 74:1.) And the anger of 
the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. (Num. 12:9.) 
And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into 
the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Am- 
nion. (Jud. 10:7.) 

h. For thou shalt worship no other gods: for the Lord, whose name 
is Jealous, is a jealous God. (Ex. 34:14.) How long, Lord? wilt thou 
be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? (Ps. 79:5.)

stone, and salt, and burning, that it is not 
sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth 
therein, like the overthrow of Sod'om, and Go- 
mor'rah, Ad'mah, and Ze-bo'im, which the 
"Lord overthrew in ^his anger, and in his 
wrath : 

24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore 
hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what 
meaneth the heat of this great anger? 

25 Then men shall say, Because they have 
forsaken the covenant of the ^ord God of 
their fathers, which he made with them when 
he brought them forth out of the land of 
E'gypt : 

26 For they went and served other gods, 
and worshipped them, gods whom they knew 
not, and whom he had not given unto them: 

27 And the -"anger of the Lord was kindled 
against this land, to bring upon it all the 
'curses that are written in this book: 

28 And the Lord J'rooted them out of their 
land in anger, and in wrath, and in great in- 
dignation, and cast them into another land, 
as it is this day. 

29 The secret ^things belong unto the Lord 
our God: but those things which are revealed 
belong unto us and to our children for ever, 
that we may do all the words of 7 -'this law. 

CHAPTER 30. 

1 Great mercies promised unto the repentant. 
11 The commandment is manifest, lb Death 
and life are set before them. 

1 And it shall come to pass, when all ^hese 
things are come upon thee, the blessing and 
the curse, which I have set before thee, and 
°thou shalt call them to mind among all the 
nations, whither the *Lord thy God hath driven 
thee, 

2 And shalt s retum unto the ^ord thy God, 
and shalt obey his voice according to all that 
I command thee this day, thou and thy chil- 
dren, with all thine heart, and with all thy 
soul; 

3 That then the s Lord thy God will turn 
°thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, 
and will return and gather thee from all the 
nations, whither the 1 Lord thy God hath scat- 
tered thee. 

4 If d any of thine be driven out unto the 
outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the 
"Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence 
will he fetch thee: 

5 And the 2 Lord thy God will bring thee 
into the land which thy fathers possessed, and 
thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, 
and multiply thee above thy fathers. 

6 And the 1 Lord thy God will circumcise 
e thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love

hovah.

1. Jehovah, the eovenant-name of

2. The future concerning which he

quire impossible things of his peo- 
ple. Jehovah asks nothing for him- 
self, but all he asks is along the line 
of man's religious duty. 



the x Lord thy God with all thine heart, and 
with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 

7 And the *Lord thy God will put all these 
curses upon thine enemies, and on them that 
hate thee, which persecuted thee. 

8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice 
of the 1 Lord, and do all his commandments 
which I command thee this day. 

9 And the : Lord thy God will make thee 
plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the 
fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cat- 
tle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: 
for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for 
good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 

10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of 
the 2 Lord thy God, to keep his commandments 
and his statutes which are written in this book 
of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy 
God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 

11 *" For this commandment which I com- 
mand thee this day, it is not hidden 2 from thee, 
neither is it far off. 

12 It is ''not in heaven, that thou shouldest 
say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and 
bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and 
do it? 

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou 
shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for 
us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, 
and do it? 

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in 
thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest 
do it. 

15 "" See, I have set -"before thee this day 
life and good, and death and evil; 

16 In that I command thee this day to Move 
the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to 
keep 'his commandments and his statutes and 
his judgments, that thou mayest live and mul- 
tiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in 
the land whither thou goest to possess it. 

17 But if thine heart turn away, so that 
thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn aw T ay, 
and worship other gods, and serve them; 

18 Jl denounce unto you this day, that ye 
shall surely perish, and that ye shall not pro- 
long your days upon the land, whither thou 
passcst over Jor'dan to go to possess it. 

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day 
against you, that I have set before you life 
and death, blessing and cursing: therefore 
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may 
live: 

20 That thou mayest love the ''Lord thy 
God, and that thou mayest obey 'his voice, and 
that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is 
thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou 
mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware 
unto thy fathers, to A'bra-ham, to I'saac, and 
to Ja'cob, to give them. 



i. Tea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, 
that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon 
us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of 
God, because we have sinned against him. (Dan. 9:11.) 

j. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, 
and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land 
of the living. (Ps. 52 ;5.) But the wicked shall be cut off from the 
earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. (Prov. 2:22.) 

k. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testi- 
mony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. (Ps. 19:7.) Abra- 
ham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear 
them. (Lu. 16:29.) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and 
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in 
righteousness. (II Tim. 3:16j ' 

Chapter 30. 

a. Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they 
were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in 
the land of them that carried them captives, saying. We have sinned, 
and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness (47). And so 
return unto thee with all their heart, with all their soul, in the land 
of their enemies which led them away captive, and pray unto thee 
toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which 
th.ju hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name. (I 
Ks. S:47, 48.) 

b. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his 
thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy 
upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Is. 55:7.) 



Therefore also now, saith the Lord, Turn ye even to me, with all your 
heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. (Joel 
2:12.) 

c. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord, and I will turn away 
your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from 
all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord. And I will 
bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away 
captive. (Jer. 29:14.) Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams 
in the south. (Ps. 126:4.) 

d. But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do 
them, though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the 
heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto 
the place that I have chosen to set my name there. (Neh. 1:9.) 

e. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more 
stiffnecked. (Dt. 10:16.) And 'I will give them one heart, and I will 
put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of 
their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh. (Ezek. 11:19.) 

f. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, 
Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is to bring 
Christ down from above.) (Rom. 10:6.) 

g. Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse. (Dt. 
11:26.) See v. 1. 

h. See a, ch. 11, Dt. 

i. See c, ch. 27. Dt. 

j. I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye 
shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan 
to Dossess it: ve shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be 
destroyed. (D't. 4:36.)

eth a charge to Joshua, 19 and a song to 
testify against the people. 24 Moses deliv- 
ereth the book of the law to the Levites to 
keep. 

1 And 'Mo'ses. went and spake these words 
unto all Is'ra-el. 

2 And he said unto them, I "am an hundred 
and 3 twenty years old this day; I can no more 
go out and come in: also the 2 Lord hath said 
unto me, 6 Thou shalt not go over this Jor'dan. 

3 The "Lord thy God, c he will go oyer before 
thee, and he will destroy these nations from 
before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and 
J6sh'u-a, he shall go over before thee, as the 
2 Lord hath said. 

4 And the 2 Lord shall do unto them as he 
did to Si'hon and to Og, kings of the Am'or- 
Ites, and unto the land of them, whom he 
destroyed. 

5 And the 2 Lord shall give them up before 
your face, that ye may do unto them accord- 
ing unto all the commandments which I have 
commanded you. 

6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, 
nor be afraid of them: for the 2 Lord thy God, 
he d it is that doth go with thee; he will not 
fail thee, nor c forsake thee. 

7 If And 'Moses called unto 4 Josh'u-a, and 
said unto him in "the sight of all Is'ra-el, Be 
strong and of a good courage: for thou must 
go with this people unto the land which the 
2 Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give 
them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 

8 And the 2 Lord, the it is that doth go be- 
fore thee ; he will be with thee, he will not fail 
thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither 
be dismayed. 

9 If And 'M5'§e§ wrote this law, and deliv- 
ered it unto the priests the sons of Le'vi, which 
bare the ark of the covenant of the 2 Lord, and 
unto all the elders of Is'ra-el. 

10 And J Mo'ses commanded them, saying, 
At the end of every seven years, in the solem- 
nity of the year of release, in the feast of 
tabernacles, 

11 When all Is'ra-el is come to Appear be- 
fore the 2 Lord thy God in the place which he

that they may learn, and fear the 2 Lord your

Ch. 31. B. C. 1451. 

NOTE. — As a law-giver and inter- 
preter. Moses has finished his work. 
His next duties are to appoint and 
install his successor. 



1. For historical account of Moses, 
see 1, ch. 27. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name o£ 
God. 



3. The life of Moses is divided 
into three parts of forty years each; 
(1) He was forty years old when ho 
fled from Egypt into Median; (2) 
he was eighty when he appeared he- 
fore Pharaoh, and commanded him 
to let the Israelites go; (3) he wan- 
dered forty years in the wilderness. 



4. For historical account of Josh- 
ua, see 2, ch. 17, Ex. 



5. Under the directions of Jeho- 
vah. Moses and Joshua present them- 
selves in the tabernacle, that Joshua 
may be installed in his position. Je- 
hovah appears in the pillar of cloud, 
which stood before the door, and tells 
Moses that after his death the peo- 
ple will renounce Jehovah and follow 
after heathen gods. 



6. Moses, after delivering the law 
unto the priests, calls the elders of 
the tribes and all in official position 
together and gives them the wonder- 
ful ode which is called the song of 
Moses. It begins with ch. 32. 



15 And the 2 Lord appeared in the tabernacle 
in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the 
cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. 

16 If And the "Lord said unto "Mo'ge?, Be- 
hold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and 
this people will rise up, and go a whoring 
after the gods of the strangers of the land, 
whither they go to be among them, and will 
forsake me, and break my covenant which I 
have made with them. 

17 Then my anger shall be kindled against 
them in that day, and I will forsake them, and 
I will hide my face from them and they shall 
be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall 
'befall them; so that they will say in that day, 
Are not these evils come upon us, because our 
God is not among us? 

18 And I will surely hide my face in that 
day for all the evils which they shall have 
wrought, in that they are turned unto other 
gods. 

19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, 
and teach it the children of Is'ra-el : put it in 
their mouths, that this song may be a witness 
for me against the children of Is'ra-el. 

20 For when I shall have brought them 
into the land which I sware unto their fathers, 
that floweth with milk and honey; and they 
shall have eaten and filled themselves, and 
waxen fat; then will they turn unto other 
gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and 
break my covenant. 

21 And it shall come to pass,' when many 
evils and troubles are befallen them, that this 
song shall testify against them as a witness; 
for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths 
of their seed: for I know their imagination 
which they go about, even now, before I have 
brought them into the land which I sware. 

22 If 'Mo'sjje? therefore wrote this song the 
same day, and taught it the children of Is'- 
ra-el. 

23 And he gave 4 J6sh'u-a the son of Nun a 
charge, and said, Be strong and of a good cour- 
age: for thou shalt bring the children of is'- 
ra-el into the land which I sware unto them: 
and I will be with thee. 

24 Ti And it came to pass, when 'Mo'ses. had

which bare the ark of the covenant of the 
2 Lord, saying, 

26 Take this book of the law, and put it in 
the side of the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord your God, that it may be there for a wit- 
ness against thee. 

27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff 
neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you 
this day, ye have been rebellious against the 
Lord; and how much more after my death? 

28 1f "Gather ''unto me ail the elders of your 
tribes, and your officers, that I may speak 
these words in their ears, and call heaven and 
earth to record against them. 

29 For I know that after my death ye will 
utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from 
the way which I have commanded you; and 
evil will befall you in the latter days; because 
ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to 



Chapter 31. 

a. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and 
three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. (Ex. 7:7.) And Moses 
was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, 
nor his natural force abated. (Dt. 34:7.) 

b. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed 
me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore 
ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given 
them. (Num. 20:12.) 

c. Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he 
which goeth over before thee, as a consuming fire he shall destroy 
them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive 
them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee. 
(Dt. 9:3.) 

d. For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for 
you against your enemies, to save you. (Dt. 20:4.) 



e. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content 
with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, 
nor forsake thee. (Heb. 13:5.) 

f. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land: 
and verily thou shalt be fed. (Ps. 37:3.) 

g. Three times in a. year shall all thy males appear before the Lord 
thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened 
bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and 
they shall not appear before the Lord empty. (Dt. 16:1G.) 

h. Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God 
in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, 
and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me 
all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach 
their children. (Dt. 4:10.) 

i. Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible 
God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little 
before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and

provoke him to anger through the work of 
your hands. 

30 And Mo'ses spake in the ears of all the 
congregation of Is'ra-el the words of this song, 
until they were ended. 

CHAPTER 32. 
1 Moses' song, which setteth forth God's mercy 
and vengeance. 46 He exhorteth them to set 
their hearts upon it. 48 God sendeth him up 
to mount Xebo, to see the land, and die. 

1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; 
and hear, earth, the words of my mouth. 

2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my 
speech shall distil as the dew, as the small 
rain upon the tender herb, and as -the showers 
upon the grass: 

3 Because I will 'publish the name of the 
"Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 

4 He is the Eock, °his work is perfect: for 
all his ways are judgment: a 6 God of truth 
and without Iniquity, just and right is he. 

5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot 
is not the spot of his children : they are a per- 
verse and crooked generation. 

6 Do ye thus ^requite the "Lord. foolish 
people and unwise? is not he thy father that 
hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and 
established thee? 

7 *~ Remember the days of old, consider the 
years of many generations: ask thy father. 
and he will shew thee ; thv elders, and they will 
tell thee. 

8 "When the most High divided to the na- 
tions their inheritance, when he separated the 
sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people 
according to the number of the children of 
Is'ra-el. 

9 For the ^Lord's portion is his people; Ja- 
cob is the lot of his inheritance. 

10 n He found him in a desert land, and in 
the waste howling wilderness; he led him 
about, he instructed him, he kept him as the 
apple f of his eye. 

11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, flutter- 
eth over her young, spreadeth abroad her 
wings, taketh them, beareth them on her 
wings: 

12 So the : Lord alone did lead him, and 
there was no strange god with him. 

13 He made him ride on the high places of 
the earth, that he might eat the increase of 
the fields; and he made him to suck honey out 
of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 

14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with 
fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Ba'- 
shan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of 
wheat : and thou didst drink the pure blood of 
the grape. 

15 r But Jesh'u-riin waxed fat, and kicked: 
thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou 
art covered with fatness; then he forsook God 
which made him, and lightly esteemed the 
Rock of his salvation. 

16 They provoked him to "jealousy with

NOTE. — This song is a compen- 
dious outline or draft of and also 
the common key to all prophecy and 
bears the same fundamental relation 
to it as the decalogue to aU other 
iaws, and the Lord's Prayer to all 
other prayers. The law-giver summed 
up the whole prophetic contents of 
chs. 27-30, and threw them into the 
form of a song that they might be 
perpetuated in the memories and 
mouths of the people. This song sets 
before the nation, its entire history 
to the end of time; and is divided 
Into four periods, namely: (1) The 
creation and rise of Israel. (2) 
The ingratitude and apostasy of Is- 
rael. (3) The consequent surrender 
of Israel to the power of the heath- 
en. (4) The restoration of Israel 
sifted but not destroyed, and the- una- 
nimity of all nations in the praise of 
Jehovah, who reveals himself, both in 
judgment and in mercy." (De- 
li tzseh.)

strange gods, with abominations provoked they 
him to danger. 

17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; 
to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that 
came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 

18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art un- 
mindful, and hast forgotten God that formed 
thee. 

19 And when the : Lord saw it, he abhorred 
them, because of the provoking of his sons', 
and of his daughters. 

20 And he said, I will hide my face from 
them, I will see what their end shall be: for 
they are a very froward generation, children 
in whom is no faith. 

21 They have moved me to ''jealousy with 
that which is not God; they have provoked me 
to anger with their vanities,: and I will move 
them to jealousy with those which are not a 
people; I will provoke them to danger with a 
foolish nation. 

22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and 
shall bum unto the lowest hell, and shall con- 
sume the earth with her increase, and set on 
fire the foundations of the mountains. 

23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will 
spend mine arrows upon them. 

24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and 
devoured with burning heat, and with bitter 
destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts 
upon them, with the poison of serpents of the 
dust. 

25 The sword without, and terror within, 
shall destroy both the young man and the vir- 
gin, the suckling also with the man of gray 
hairs. 

26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, 
I would make the remembrance of them to 
cease from among men: 

27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of 
the enemy, lest their adversaries should be- 
have themselves strangely, and lest they should 
say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath 
not done all this. 

28 For they are a nation void of counsel, 
neither is there any understanding in them. 

29 O that they were wise, that they under- 
stood this, that they would consider their latter 
end! 

30 How should ''one chase a thousand, and 
two put ten thousand to flight, except their 
Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut 
them up? 

31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even 
our enemies themselves being judges. 

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, 
and of the fields of Go-mor'rah: their grapes 
are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: 

33 'Their wine is the poison of dragons, and 
the cruel venom of asps. 

34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and 
sealed up among my treasures? 

35 To me belongeth 'vengeance, and recom- 
pence; their foot shall slide in due time: for 
the day of their calamity is at hand, and the 
things that shall come upon them make haste. 



on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy 
people, since tie time of the kings of Assyria unto this dav. (Xeh. 
9:32.) 

Chapter 32. 

a. As tor God, his wav is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: 
he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. (II Sam. 22:31.) The 
words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, 
purified seven times. (Ps. 12:6.) I neither learned wisdom, nor have 
the knowledge of the holy. (Prov. 30:3.) 

b. But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an ever- 
lasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations 
shall not be able to abide his indignation. (Jer. 10:10.) 

c. Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it 
from God, that he should do wickedness: and from the Almighty, that 
he should commit iniquity. (Job. 34:10.) To show that the Lord is 
upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. (Ps. 
92:15.) 

d. What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward 
me? (Ps. Ill 

e. Keep me as the apple of the eye: hide me under the shadow of 
thy wings. (Ps. 17:8.) Keep my commandments, and live: and my 
law as the apple of thine eye. (Prov. 7:2.) For thus saith the Lord 
of hosts: After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which 



spoiled vou: for he that toucheth vou, toueheth the apple of his eye. 
(Zech. 2:8.) 

f. For thou shaft worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name 
is Jealous, is a jealous God. (Ex. 34:14.) For the Lord thy God is a con- 
suming fire, even a jealous God. (Dt. 4:24.) For they provoked him to 
anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their 
graven images. (Ps. 78:58.) See v. 21. 

g. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he de- 
parted. (Xum. 12:9.) And the anger of the Lord was hot against 
Israel. (Jud. 10:7.) God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with 
the wicked every day. (Ps. 7:11.) For, behold, the Lord will come with 
fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with 
fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. (Is. 66:15.) 

h. One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, 
he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. (Josh. 23:10.) 

i. O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth: O God, to whom ven- 
geance belongeth, show thyself. (Ps. 94:1.) For it is the day of the 
Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of 
Zion. (Is. 34:8.) Gcd is jealous, and the Lord revengeth: the Lord re- 
vengeth. and is furious: the Lord will take vengeance on his adversa- 
ries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. (Nah. 1:2.) For we know 
him that hath said. Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, 
saith the Lord. (Heb. 10:30.)

36 For the Lord shall judge his people, ^and 
repent himself for his servants, when he seeth 
that their power is gone, and there is none 
shut up, or left. 

37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, 
their rock in whom they trusted, 

38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, 
and drank the wine of their drink offerings? 
let them rise up and help you, and be your 
protection. 

39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there 
is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I 
wound, and I heal: neither is there any that 
can deliver out of my hand. 

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and 
say, I live for ever. 

41 // / whet my glittering sword, and mine 
hand take hold on judgment; I will l render 
vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward 
them that hate me. 

42 / will make mine arroivs dmmk with 
blood, and my sivord shall devour flesh; and 
that with the blood of the slain and of the 
captives, from the beginning of revenges upon 
the enemy. 

43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: 
for he will 1: avenge the blood of his servants, 
and will render vengeance to his adversaries, 
and ivill be merciful unto his land, and to his 
people. 

44 1f And Mo'§e§ came and spake all the 
words of this song in the ears of the people, 
he, and Ho-she'a the son of Nun. 

45 And M6'§e§ made an end of speaking all 
these words to all Is'ra-el: 

46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts 
unto all the words which I testify among you 
this day, which ye shall command your chil- 
dren to observe to do, all the words of this 
law. 

47 For it is not a vain thing for you; be- 
cause it is your life: and through this thing 
ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither 
ye go over Jor'dart to possess it. 

48 And the Lord spake unto Mo'ses. that 
selfsame day, saying, 

49 Get thee up into this mountain Ab'a-rim, 
unto mount Ne'bo, which is in the land of 
Md'ab, that is over against Jer'i-cho; and be- 
hold the land of Ca'naan, which I give unto the 
children of Is'ra-el for a possession : 

50 And die in the mount whither thou goest 
up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aar'on 
thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gath- 
ered unto his people: 

51 Because ye trespassed against me among 
the children of Is'ra-el at the waters of Mer'i- 
bah-Ka'desh, in the wilderness of Zin; because 
ye sanctified me not in the midst of the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el. 

52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; 
but thou shalt not go thither unto the land 
which I give the children of Is'ra-el.

NOTE. — The work of Moses is rap-

the command of Jehovah, "Get thee 
up into this mountain and die there." 
But just before he leaves his people 
forever, he gives them the blessing 
of this ch.

2 And he said, The 2 Lord came from 3 Si'nai, 
and rose up from Se'ir unto them; he shined 
forth from mount Pa'ran, and he came with 
ten thousands of saints: from his right hand 
went "a fiery law for them. 

3 Yea, he Moved the people; all the c saints 
are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy 
feet; every one shall receive of thy words. 

4 M5'§e§ commanded us a law, even the in- 
heritance of the congregation of Ja'cob. 

5 And he was king in Jesh'u-run, when the 
heads of the people and the tribes of Is'ra-el 
were gathered together. 

6 4 1f Let Reu'ben live, and not die ; and let 
not his men be few. 

7 If And this is the blessing of Ju'dah : and 
he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Ju'dah, and 
bring him unto his people: let his hands be 
sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him 
from his enemies. 

8 If And_of Le'vi he said, Let thy Thum'mim 
and thy U'rim be with thy holy one, whom 
thou didst prove at Mas'sah, and with whom 
thou didst strive at the waters of Mer'i-bah; 

9 Who said unto his father and to his moth- 
er, I have not seen him; neither did he ac- 
knowledge his brethren, nor knew his own 
children : for they have observed thy word, 
and kept thy covenant. 

10 They shall teach Ja'cob thy judgments, 
and Is'ra-el thy law: they shall put incense 
before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon 
thine altar. 

11 Bless, 2 Lord, his substance, and accept 
the work of his hands: smite through the loins 
of them that rise against him, and of them 
that hate him, that they rise not again. 

12 f And of Ben'ja-min he said, The beloved 
of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and 
the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and 
he shall dwell between his shoulders. 

13 If And of Jo'§eph he said, Blessed d of the 
Lord be his land, for the precious things of 
heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that 
coucheth beneath, 

14 And for the precious fruits brought forth 
by the sun, and for the precious things put 
forth by the moon, 

15 And for the chief things of the ancient 
mountains, and for the precious things of the 
lasting hills, 

16 And for the precious things of the earth 
and fulness thereof, and for the good will e of 
him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing 
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the 
top of the head of him that was separated 
from his brethren. 

17 His glory is like the firstling of his bul- 
lock, and his horns are like the horns of uni- 
corns: with them he shall push the people to- 
gether to the ends of the earth : and they are 
the ten thousands of E'phra-im, and these are 
the thousands of Ma-nas'seh. 

18 IT And of Zeb'u-lun he said, Rejoice, Zeb'- 
u-lun, in thy going out; and, Is'sa-char, in thy 
tents. 

19 They shall ^call the people unto the 
mountains; there they shall offer sacrifices of 
righteousness : for they shall suck of the abun- 



j. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from 
the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, 
and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 
(Gen. 6:7.) And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do 
unto his people. (Ex. 32:14.) And he remembered for them his cove- 
nant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 
106:45.) 

k. How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge 
our blood on them, that dwell on the earth? (Rev. 6:10.) 

Chapter 33. 

a. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand 
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

and have not kept it. (Acts 7:53.) 

b. When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son 
out of Egypt. (Hos. 11:1.) 



c. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be 
silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. (I Sam. 2:9.) 
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant 
with me by sacrifice. (Ps. 50:5.) 

d. Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the 
Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings 
of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb. 
(Gen. 49:25.) 

e. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire 
out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush 
burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed (2). And when the 
Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the 
midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 
(Ex. 3:2, 4.)

ehlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and 
teareth the arm with the crown of the head. 

21 And he provided the first part for him- 
self, because there, in a portion of the law- 
giver, was he seated; and he came with the 
heads of the people, he executed the justice 
of the Lord, and his judgments with Is'ra-el. 

22 r . And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's 
whelp: he shall leap from Ba'shan. 

23 r And of Xaph'ta-li he said, Naph-ta- 
II, satisfied with favour, and full with the 
blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west 
and the south. 

24 *" And of Ash'er he said, Let Ash'er be 
blessed with children; let him be acceptable to 
his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. 

25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and 
as thy days, so shall thy strength be. 

26 *~ There is none like unto the God of 
Jesh'u-run, "who rideth upon the heaven in 
thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. 

27 The eternal Gpd is thy ''refuge, and un- 
derneath are the everlasting arms: and he 
shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; 
and shall say, Destroy them. 

28 Is'ra-el then shall dwell in safety alone : 
the fountain of Ja'cob shall be upon a land of 
corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop 
down dew. 

29 Happy art thou, Is'ra-el: who is like 
unto thee, people saved by the Lord, the 
shield of thy help, and who is the sword of 
thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be 
found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread 
upon their high places.

of Pis'gah, that is over against Jer'i-cho. And 
the 2 Lord shewed him all the land of Gil'e-ad, 
unto Dan, 

_ 2 And all Naph'ta-li, and the land of 
E'phra-im, and Ma-nas'seh, and all the land of 
Ju'dah, unto the utmost sea, 

3 And the south, and the plain of the valley 
of Jer'i-cho, the city of palm trees, unto Zd'ar. 

4 And the : Lord said unto him, °This is the 
land which I sware unto A'bra-ham, unto 
I'saac, and unto Ja'cob, saying, I will give it 
unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it 
with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over 
thither. 

5 r So ^Io'ses the 6 servant of the Lord died 
there in the land of MS'ab, according to the 
word of the Lord. 

6 And he buried him in a valley in the land 
of Mo'ab, over against Beth-pe'or: but no c man 
knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.

years old when he died: his eye was not dim, 
nor his natural force abated.

-Mo'ses in the plains of Mo'ab thirty days: so 
the days of weeping and mourning for Mo'ses 
were ended.

the ^spirit of wisdom; for Mo'ses had laid his

hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord com- 
manded Mo'ses.

shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 
(Is. 2:3.) 

g. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name; extol him that ridetk 
upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. (Ps. 6S:4.) 
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the 
clouds "his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind. (Ps. 
104:3.) Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? was thine anger 
against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride 
upon thine horses end thy chariots of salvation? (Hab. 3:8.) 

h. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. (Ps. 
90:1.) The God of my rock: in him will I trust; he is my shield, and 
the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; ■ 
thou savest me from violence. (II Sam. 22:3.) The Lord also will be a 
refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. (Ps. 9:9.) But 
I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud thy mercy in the morn- 
ing; for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. 
'Ps. 59:16.) 



Chapter 34. 

a. Every plaje whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be 
yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river 
Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea, shall your coast be. (Dt. 11:24.) 

b. See Joshua 1:1, 2. 

c. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he 
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing 
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 9.) 

d. And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wis- 
dom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of 
knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (Is. 11:2.) Then this Daniel was 
preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit 
was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. 
(Dan. 6:3.) Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and with- 
heldest not thy manner from their mouth, and gavest them water for 
their thirst. (Xeh. 9:20.) And they were not able to resist the wisdom 
and the spirit by which he spake. (Acts 6:10.) 



THE BOOK OF 



JOSHUA 



NOTE. — Joshua, the sixth book of the Bible, was named after him who occupies so important a place in the series of events narrated therein. It must 
have been written about the time of Joshua, because Eahab was still alive when it was written (ch. 6:25). It is considered as highly probable that 
Joshua himself was the author of the book up to v. 28 of the last ch., when a friendly hand subjoined a few verses to record the death and burial of 
Joshua, the author of the main portion. The authority for the Book of Joshua is proven mainly by the great number of allusions made to it in other por- 
tions of the Bible. See I Ks. 16:34; Ps. 6S:12-]4. 78:54, 55; 114:3-5; Heb. 13:5; and other references. While the Book of Joshua is written as a 
semi-history, it was written not to preserve great historical facts as history, nor to furnish an exhaustive record of the times and people — the purpose was 
to show the hand of God in the affairs of men, i. e.. God in history. Josh, is properly divided into three parts: (1) The first 12 chs. record the history of 
Israel from the point where Dt. left it at the death of Moses through the conquest of western Palestine, (2) the next 9 chs. (12-21) detail the division 
of the land among the tribes, (3) the next 3 chs. (22-24) form an appendix, giving Joshua's speech to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe Manasseh and an 
account of the last days of Joshua, his death, burial of Joseph's body, and death of Eleazar, son of Aaron. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The Lord appointeth Joshua to succeed Mo- 
ses. 5, 9 God promiseth to assist Joshua. 
8 He giveth him instructions. 10 He pre- 
pareth the people to pass over Jordan. 

1 'Now 2 after the death of 4 Mo'§es. the serv- 
ant of the 3 Lord it came to pass, that the 
"Lord 5 spake unto 6 J6sh'u-a the son of Nun, 
Mo'ses' minister, "saying, 

2 4 M5'§e§ 6 my servant is dead; now there- 
fore arise, go over this 7 Jor'dan, thou, and all 
this people, unto the land which I do give to 
them, even to the children of Is'ra-el. 

3 Every place that the sole of your foot 
shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, 
as I said unto Mo'se§. 

4 From the c wilderness and this s Leb'a-non 
even unto the great river, the river 9 Eu-phra'- 
te§, all the land of the Hit'tites, and unto the 
"great sea toward the going down of the sun, 
shall be your coast. 

5 There shall not any man be able to stand 
before thee all the days of thy life: as I %as 
with 4 M6'se§, so I will be with thee: I will c not 
fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto 
this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance 
the land, which I sware unto their fathers to 
give them. 

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, 
that thou mayest 6bserve to do according to all 
the "law, which 4 M5'se§ my servant command- 



Ch. 1, B. C. 1451. 

NOTE. — According to common 
chronology, the time of these events is 
about 1451 B. C. At Shittim. in the 
plains of Moab, opposite Jericho, 
about seven miles west of the Jor- 
dan, (Num. 33:49.) Here it was in 
the groves of acacia, that Israel had 
been beguiled by the Midianites into 
licentiousness, here Jehovah had vis- 
ited them by divine judgments for 
their sin. and here they had witnessed 
the last works and received the last 
counsels of Moses. 

1. Vs. 1-9, detail the account of 
Joshua's receiving his divine commis- 
sion. 

2. That is, after 30 days of mourn- 
ing in honor of the great law-giver. 
(Dt. 34:3S.) 

3. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

4. For historical account of Moses, 
see note 1, ch. 27, Dt. 

5. Supposed to have spoken 
through the Urim of the high priest. 

6. Joshua. successor to Moses, 
the second leader of Israel, now first 
makes his appearance. His name was- 
originally Hosea. which means de- 
liverance, but in Num. 13:16 his name 
was changed by Moses into Jehoshua 
or Joshua, thus giving him the addi- 
tion of the memorial name Jah, mak- 
ing it mean the Jehovah Saviour. 
Joshua was the military leader of Is- 
rael under the direction of Moses 
through all the desert journey. And 
after the death of M.. God encouraged 
and directed J. directly to take on 
him the government of the Hebrews, 
and promised to give him his contin- 
ued presence and support. He died 
at the age of 110, and was buried at 



ed thee: turn not from it to the right hand 
or to the left, that thou mayest "prosper 
whithersoever thou goest. 

8 This fbook of the law shall not depart out 
of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate ^therein 
day and night, that thou mayest observe to 
do according to all that is written therein: 
for ''then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, 
and then thou shalt 13 have good success. 

9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong 
and of a good courage; be not *afraid, neither 
be thou dismayed: for the 3 Lord thy God is 
with thee whithersoever thou goest. 

10 H "Then 6 J6sh'u-a commanded the officers 
of the people, saying, 

11 Pass through the host, and command the 
people, saying, "Prepare you victuals; for 
within three days ye shall pass over this T Jor'- 
dan, to go in to possess the land, which the 
3 Lord your God giveth you to possess it. 

12 H And to the Reu'ben-ites, and to the 
Gad'ites, and to half the tribe of Ma-nas'seh, 
spake °Josh'u-a, saying, 

13 Remember the word which 4 Mo'§e§ the 
servant of the 3 Lord commanded you, saying, 
The 3 Lord.your God hath given you rest, and 
hath given you this land. 

14 Your wives, your little ones, and your 
cattle, shall remain in -the land which 4 Mo'ses. 
gave you on this 16 side Jor'dan; but ye shall 
pass before your brethren armed, all the 
mighty men of valour, and help them; 



Timnath-Sarah. his own city. J. pos- 
sessed the character of the devout 
warrior, combining strength with gen- 
tleness. With the simplicity of a 
child he obeyed the divine impulse. 

7. This celebrated river was in full 
view from the elevation on which the 
Israelites were encamped. Thus far 
in scriptural history the Jordan has 
acquired no special importance. But 
henceforth, in Jewish and Christian 
literature, in sacred song and figura- 
tive expressions of Christian hope, . 
this small stream occupies a larger 
place than any other river of the 
world. In the poetic language of 
Tacitus, "The Lebanon nourishes and 
pours out the Jordan." It flows en- 
tirely through the first and second 
lake, and is retained by the third. 
These lakes (each with a triple name) 
are the Merom of the Old Testament, 
called Samoehonitis in ancient clas- 



sics and Huleh in modern geography; 
the second, the Sea of Galilee or Lake 
of Gennesaret, called also Tiberias; 
the third lake is the Dead Sea, called 
in the Old Testament the Salt Sea and 
the Sea of the Plain. The river, 
which in most of its course flows in 
a deep trench, ends at the Dead Sea. 
1,308 feet below the level of the 
Mediterranean. The general course 
of its current is to the south, but the 
river has a number of sharp bends, 
which deflect the regular flow of its 
waters. From the rapidity of the 
flow, it may be styled almost a con- 
tinuous cataract. From the first lake 
to the second, a distance of less than 
nine miles, is a descent of 600 feet; 
and from the Lake of Tiberias to the 
Dead Sea are twenty-seven great rap- 
ids, besides a great many of less 
magnitude. 

The average descent through its 



whole course is nearly twelve feet in 
a mile, justifying the name of the 
"descender." Its length is about 200 
miles, from the roots of Ante-Leban- 
on, where it bursts forth, in all its 
purity, to the Sea of Salt, where it 
is lost in a briny, seething, caldron; 
yet the distance by a straight line 
between these points is less than 
ninety miles. There are shallows 
where it can be forded. It is subject 
to periodical overflows when the snows 
of Lebanon melt. At these times it 
overflows the first of the two terraces 
which constitute its banks. Within 
its lowest banks it varies in width 
from seventy feet, where it enters the 
Sea of Galilee, to 180 yards at the 
Dead Sea. (W.) 

8. A double range of mountains, 
constituting the eastern limit of 
Phoenicia and the northern limit of 
Palestine. 



9. The great river of western Asia. 
1.4:i0 miles long. In Gen. 2:14 it is 
mentioned in connection with the gar- 
den of Eden. 

10. The Mediterranean Sea. 

11. The Torah. The whole body 
of the moral, ceremonial and political 
laws. 

12. That is. act wisely. 

13. Do wisely. 

14. Vs. 10, 11, give the prepara- 
tion for the march. 

15. Not the manna but their nat- 
ural product. Manna did not cease to 
fall till they had entered Canaan, 
but. as is it became putrid if kept 
over night, a supply was given each 
day. 

16. Beyond the Jordan. (R. V.) 



Ref. Joshua. Chapter 1. 

a. But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall 
go in thither; encourage him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 
(Dt. 1:38.) 

b. So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, 
according to the word of the Lord. (Dt. 34:5.) 

c. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying. 
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the 
great river, the river Euphrates. (Gen. 15:18.) Then your south quarter 
shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edim, and 
your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward. 
(Num. 34:3.) 

d. And he said. Certainly I will be with thee, and this shall be a 
token unto thee that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth 
the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. (Ex. 
3:12.) 

e. Be strong, and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; 
for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) He shall not fail nor be discouraged, 
till he have set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his 
law. (Is. 42:4.) 

f. And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, 
that he shall write him a copy of this law in a hook, out of that which 
is before the priests the Levites: And it shall be with him, and he 
shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear 
the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, 



to do them. (Dt. 17:18, 19.) Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse 
his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. (Ps. 119:9.) 

g. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth 
he meditate day and night. (Ps. 1:2.) Stand in awe, and sin not; 
commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Ps. 4:4.) 
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the 
sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than 
the sand; when I awake, I am still with thee. (Ps. 139:17, 18.) I re- 
member the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the 
work of thy hands. (Ps. 143:5.) Let the words of my mouth, and the 
meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, 
and my redeemer. (Ps. 19:14.) 

h. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfill the 
statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concern- 
ing Israel; be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. 
(I Chr. 22:13.) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my 
commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Only be thou strong and very courageous, 
that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law which Moses 
my servant commanded thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to 
the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7.) 
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall 
eat the fruit of their doings. (Is. 3:10.) 

i. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the 
Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) 
Be not afraid of their faces; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith 
the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.)

15 Until the Lord have given your brethren 
rest, as he hath given you, and they also have 
possessed the land which the "Lord your God 
giveth them: then ye shall return unto the 
land of your possession, and enjoy it, which 
Olo'ses the Lord's servant gave you on this 
side T Jor dan toward the sunrising. 

16 r And they answered 6 J6sh'u-a, saying, 
All that thou commandest us we will do, and 
whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. 

17 According as we hearkened unto Olo'ses 
in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: 
only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was 
with Olo'ses. 

18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against 
thy commandment, and will not hearken unto 
thy words in all that thou commandest him, 
he shall be put to death: only be strong and 
of a good courage. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Eahab receiveth and concealeth the two 
spies. 8' The covenant between he)- and them. 
23 Their return and relation. 

1 And 2 J6sh'u-a the son of Nun sent out of 
Shit'tim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go 
view the land, "even Jer'i-cho. And thej- went. 
and came into an harlot's house, named Ra'- 
hab, and lodged there. 

2 And c it was told the king of Jer'i-cho, 
saying, Behold, there came men in hither to 
night of the children of Is'ra-el to search out 
the country. 

3 And the king of Jer'i-cho sent unto Ra'- 
hab, saying, Bring forth the men that are 
come to thee, which are entered into thine 
house: for they be come to search out all the 
country. 

4 And the woman took the two men, and hid 
them, and said thus, There came men unto me, 
but C I wist not whence they were: 

-5 And it came to pass about the time of 
shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that 
the men went out: whither the men went I 
wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye 
shall overtake them. 

6 But she had brought them up to the roof 
of the house, and hid them with the stalks of 
flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof. 

7 And the men pursued after them the way 
to Jor'dan unto the fords: and as soon as they 
which pursued after them were gone out, they 
shut the gate. 

8 *~ And before they were laid down, she 
came up unto them upon the roof; 

9 And she said unto the men, I know that 
the 4 Lord hath given you the land, and that 
your ^terror is fallen upon us, and that all the 
inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 

10 For we have heard how the ''Lord dried 
c up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye 
came out of E'gypt; and what ^ye did unto the 
two kings of the Am'or-ites, that were on the 
other side Jor'dan, SiTion and Og, whom ye 
utterly destroyed.

things, e our hearts did melt, neither did there

leadership of Moses, to the banks of

remain any more courage in any man, because 
of you: for the 'Lord your God, he is 'God in 
heaven above, and in earth beneath. 

12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto 
me by the 4 Lord, since I have shewed you 
kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto 
my father's house, and give me a true token : 

13 And that ye will save alive my father, 
and my mother, and my brethren, and my sis- 
ters, and all that they have, and deliver our 
lives from death. 

14 And the men answered her, Our life 'for 
your's, if ye utter not this our business. And 
it shall be, when the *Lord hath given us the 
land, that we will deal kindly and truly with 
thee. 

15 Then she let them down by a cord 
through the window: for her house was upon 
the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. 

16 And she said unto them, Get you to the 
mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide 
yourselves there three days, until the pursuers 
be returned: and afterward may ye go your 
way. 

17 And the men said unto her, We will be 
blameless of this thine oath which thou hast 
made us swear. 

18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou 
shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the 
window which thou didst let us down by: and 
-''thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, 
and thy brethren, and all thy father's house- 
hold, home unto thee. 

19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go 
out of the doors of thy house into the street, 
his blood shall be upon his head, and we will 
be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee 
in the house, his blood shall be on our head, 
if any hand be upon him. 

20 And if thou utter this our business, then 
we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast 
made us to swear. 

21 And she said, According unto your words, 
so be it. And she sent them away, and they 
departed: and she bound the scarlet line in 
the window. 

22 And they went, and came unto the moun- 
tain, and abode there three days, until the 
pursuers were returned: and the pursuers 
sought them throughout all the way, but found 
them not. 

23 *" So the two men returned, and descended 
from the mountain, and passed over, and came 
to "Josh'u-a the son of Nun, and told him all 
things that befell them: 

24 And they said unto Mosh'u-a, Truly the 
-Lord ''hath delivered into our hands all the 
land; for even all the inhabitants of the coun- 
try do faint because of us.

Lord encourageth Joshua. 9 Joshua encour- 
ageth the people. 14 The waters of Jordan 
are divided.

Chapter 2. 

a. Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build 
it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 
(Ps. 127:1.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against 
the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) 

b. And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities that 
were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. 
(Gen. 35:5.) Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade 
men; but we are made manifest unto God: and I trust also are made 
manifest in your consciences. (II Cor. 5:11.) 

c. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea: and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and 
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. (Ex. 14:21.) 

d. And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed 
his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; 
for the border of the children of Ammon was strong (24). And the Lord 
said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, 
and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou 
didst unto Sibon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So 
they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none 
left him alive: and they possessed his land. (Num. 21:24, 34. 35.) 

e. And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which 



were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, 
which were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters 
of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed 
over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any 
more, because of the children of Israel. (Josh. 5:1.) Therefore shall 
all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt. (Is. 13:7.) 

f. Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the 
Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath; there is 
none else. (Dt. 4:39.) And as soon as we had heard these things, our 
hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, 
because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and 
in earth beneath. (Josh. 2:11.) I am the Lcrd; that is my name: and 
my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 
(Is. 42:8.) 

g. And the young men that were spies went in. and brought out 
Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that 
she had: and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without 
the camp of Israel. (Josh. 6:23.) 

h. And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that 
he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their 
enemies before them: the Lord delivered all their enemies into their 
hand. (Josh. 21:44.)

and they removed from Shlt'tim, and came to 
Jor'dan, he and all the children of is'ra-el, 
and lodged there before they passed over. 

2 And it came to pass after three days, that 
the officers went through the host; 

3 And they commanded the people, saying, 
When ye see the 2 ark of the covenant of the 
"Lord your God, and the priests the Le'vltes 
bearing it, then ye shall remove from your 
place, and go after it. 

4 Yet there shall be a a space between you 
and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: 
come not near unto it, that ye may know the 
way by which ye must go: for ye have not 
passed this way heretofore. 

5 And 'Josh'u-a said unto the people, Sancti- 
fy ^yourselves : for to morrow the Lord will 
do ^wonders among you. 

6 And "Josh'u-a spake unto the priests, say- 
ing, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass 
over before the people. And they took up 
the ark of the covenant, and went before the 
people. 

7 11 And the 3 Lord said unto 'Josh'u-a, This 
day will I begin to magnify c 'thee in the sight 
of all is'ra-el, that they may know that, as I 
was with 8 Mo'§e§, so I will be with thee. 

8 And thou shalt command the priests that 
bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When

dan, ye shall stand still in Jor'dan.

Is'ra-el, Come hither, and hear the words of 
the s Lord your God. 

10 And 'Josh'u-a said, Hereby ye shall know 
that the living God is among you, and that he 
will without fail J drive out from before you 
the Ca'naan-Ites, and the Hit'tites, and the 
Hi'vltes, and the Per'iz-zites, and the Glr'ga- 
shites, and the Am'or-ites, and the Jeb'u-sites. 

11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the

into Jor'dan. 

12 Now therefore take you 7 twelve men out 
of the tribes of Is'ra-el, out of every tribe a 
man. 

13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the 
soles of the feet of the priests that bear the 
ark of the Lord, the 3 Lord of all the earth, 
shall rest in the waters of Jor'dan, that the 
waters of Jor'dan shall be cut off from the 
waters that come down from above; and they 
shall stand upon an heap.

removed from their tents, to pass over Jor'-

covenant before the people;

unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that 
bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the

his abode. When on the march, it 
was wrapped in the veil of the dis-

above stood and rose up upon an heap very far 
from the city Ad'am, that is beside Zar'e-tan: 
and those that came down toward the sea of 
the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were 
cut off: and the people passed over right 
against Jer'i-cho. 

17 And the priests that bare the ark of the 
covenant of the 3 Lord stood firm on dry ground 
in the midst of Jor'dan, and all the Is'ra-el-ites 
passed over on dry ground, until all the "'peo- 
ple were passed clean over Jor'dan. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Twelve men are appointed to take twelve 
stones for a memorial out of Jordan. 9 
Twelve other stones are set up in the midst 
of Jordan. 10, 19 The people pass over. 
14 God magnifieth Joshua. 20 The twelve 
stones are pitched in Gilgal. 

1 And it came to pass, when all the people 
were clean passed over Jor'dan, that the 'Lord 
spake unto 2 J6sh'u-a, saying, 

2 Take you twelve men out of the "sople, 
out of every tribe a man, 

3 And command ye them, saying, Take you 
hence out of the midst of Jor'dan, out of the 
place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve 
stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, 
and leave them in the lodging place, where 
ye shall lodge this night. 

4 Then 2 J6sh'u-a called the twelve men, 
whom he had prepared of the children of Is'- 
ra-el, out of every tribe a man : 

5 And 2 J6sh'u-a said unto them, Pass over 
before the ark of the 'Lord your God into 
the midst of Jor'dan, and take you up every 
man of you a stone upon his shoulder, ac- 
cording unto the number of the tribes of the 
children of Is'ra-el: 

6 That this may be a sign among you, that 
when a your children ask their fathers in time 
to come, saying, What mean ye by these 
stones? 

7 Then ye shall answer them, That the 
waters of Jor'dan were cut off before the ark 
of the covenant of the 'Lord; when it passed 
over Jor'dan, the waters of Jor'dan were cut 
off: and these stones shall be for a memorial 
unto the children of Is'ra-el for ever. 

8 And the children of Is'ra-el did so as 
2 J6sh'u-a commanded, and took up twelve stones 
out of the midst of Jor'dan, as the 'Lord spake 
unto Josh'u-a, according to the number of the 
tribes of the children of is'ra-el, and carried 
them over with them unto the place where they 
lodged, and laid them down there. 

9 And 2 Josh'u-a set up Hwelve stones in the 
midst of Jor'dan, in the place where the feet 
of the priests which bare the ark of the cove- 
nant stood: and they are there unto this day. 

10 1 For the priests which bare the ark 
stood in the midst of Jor'dan, until every thing 
was finished that the 'Lord commanded 2 Josh'- 



Chapter 3. 

a. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying. 
Take heed to yourselves that ye go not up into the mount, or touch 
the border of it; whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to 
death. (Ex. 19:12.) 

b. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify 
them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. (Ex. 19:10.) 
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am the Lord your 
God. (Lev. 20:7.) For I am the Lord your God; ye shall therefore 
sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy. (Lev. 11:44.) 
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomor- 
row; for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing 
in the midst of thee, O Israel; thou canst not stand before thine enemies, 
until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. (Josh. 7:13.) 

c. See ch. 4:14. 

d. And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the 
Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, 
and the Jebusite. (Ex. 33:2.) 

e. The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and 
they that dwell therein. (Ps. 24:1.) Then said he, These are the two 
anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. (Zech. 4:14.) 
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits 
of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the 
earth. (Zech. 6:5.) 

f. These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when 
it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the 



valleys, both toward the east and toward the west. (I Chr. 12:15.) If 
thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how 
canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein 
thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling 
of Jordan? (Jer. 12:5.) Behold, he shall come up like a lion from 
the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong. (Jer. 49:19.) 
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them 
today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. (Ex. 19:10.) And 
Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow the 
Lord will do wonders among you. (Josh. 3:5.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, 
saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him. By strength of 

•hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage. 
(Ex. 13:14.) We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told 
us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. (Ps. 44:1.) 
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will 
not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the 
praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he 
hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a 
law in Israel, which he commanded our 'fathers, that they should 
make them known to their children. That the generations to come 
might know them, even the children which should be born, who should 
arise and declare them to their children. (Ps. 78:3-6.) 

b. And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that 
he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil

u-a to speak unto the people, according to all 
that Mo'ses commanded -Josh 'u-a: and the peo- 
ple hasted and passed over. 

11 And it came to pass, when all the people 
were clean passed over, that the 4 ark of the 
Lord passed over, and the priests, in the pres- 
ence of the people. 

12 And the children of Reu'ben, and the 
children of Gad, and half the tribe of Ma-nas- 
seh, passed over armed before the children of 
Is'ra-el, as Mo'ses spake unto them: 

13 About forty thousand prepared for war 
passed over before the ''Lord unto battle, to 
the plains of Jer'i-cho. 

14 r On that day the "Lord magnified "Josh'- 
u-a in the sight of all s ls'ra-el ; and they feared 
him, as they feared Mo'ses, all the days of his 
life. 

15 And the "Lord spake unto "Josh 'u-a, say- 
ing, 

16 Command the priests that bear the 4 ark 
of the testimony, that they come up out of 
Jor'dan. 

17 \T5sh'u-a therefore commanded the priests, 
saying, Come ye up out of Jor'dan. 

18 And it came to pass, when the priests 
that bare the ark of the covenant of the 'Lord 
were come up out of the midst of Jor'dan, and 
the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up 
unto the dry land, that the waters of Jor'dan 
returned unto their place, and flowed over all 
his banks, as they did before. 

19 r And the people came up out of Jor'dan 
on the tenth day of the first month, and en- 
camped in Gil'gal, in the east border of Jer'i- 
cho. 

20 And those twelve stones, which they took 
out of Jor'dan, did 2 Josh'u-a pitch in Gil'gal. 

21 And he spake unto the children of Is'ra- 
el, saying. When your children shall ask their 
fathers in time to come, saying, What mean 
these stones? 

22 Then ye shall let your children know, 
saying, Is'ra-el came over this Jor'dan on dry 
land. 

23 For the 1 Lord your God dried up the 
waters of Jor'dan from before you, until ye 
were passed over, as the Lord your God did to 
the Red sea, c which he dried up from before 
us, until we were gone over: 

24 That all the people of the earth might 
know the hand of the "Lord, that it is ^mighty: 
that ye might fear c the 'Lord your God for 
ever. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 The Canaanites are afraid. 2 Joshua re- 

neweth circumcision. 10 The passover is 

kept at Gilyal. 12 Manna ceaseth. 13 An 

Angel appeareth to Joshua. 

1 And it came to pass, when all the kings 
of the Am'or-ites, which were on the side of 
Jor'dan westward, and all the kings of the 
Ca'naan-ites, which were by the sea, heard 
that the "Lord had dried up the waters of

4. The hill on which the rite of 
circumcision occurred. 



5. The reason the rite of circum- 
cision had not been observed during 
the 40 years wandering in the wilder- 
ness is that during the 40 years of 
wandering Israel was under divine 
displeasure and consequently tempo- 
rarily rejected by Jehovah, the.efore 
the people were prohibited from the 
use of the sign of the covenant 
which was circumcision. 



6. V. 6 gives the reason why the 
children of Israel had not been ob- 
serving the rite of circumcision, but 
as the sentence of exclusion had ex- 
pired, they were again allowed the 
privilege of using the sign of the 
covenant. 



7. For 40 years the Egyptians has 
oast the reproach upon Israel that 
Jehovah had brought them out of 
Egypt to allow them to die in the 
wilderness, but now they had been 
led into the Promised Land and this 
reproach had been rolled away. 



S. Vs. 10. 11 record the keeping 
of the third passover and the man- 
na's ceasing to fall. The passover had 
been kept only once since the Israel- 
ites left Egypt — that was at Sinai, 
the second year of their journey in 
the desert. There was from that 
year till the entering into the Prom- 
ised Land no observance of the pass- 
over, because the children of Israel 
were under the ban of divine dis- 
pleasure.

Jor'dan from before the children of Is'ra-el, 
until we were passed over, that their a heart 
melted, neither was there spirit in them any 
more, because of the children of Is'ra-el. 

2 r At that time the 'Lord said unto \F6sh'- 
u-a, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise 
again the children of Is'ra-el the second time. 

3 And "Josh u-a made him sharp knives, and 
circumcised the children of is'ra-el at the hill 
of the 4 foreskins. 

4 And this is the cause why 2 J6sh'u-a did 
circumcise: »A11 the people that came out of 
Egypt, that were males, even all the men of 
war, died in the wilderness by the way, after 
they came out of E'gypt. 

5 Now all the people that came out were 
circumcised: but all the people that were born 
in the wilderness by the way as they came 
forth out of E'gypt, "them they had not cir- 
cumcised. 

6 Tor the children of Is'ra-el walked °forty 
years in the wilderness, till all the people that 
were men of war, which came out of E'gypt, 
were consumed, because they obeyed not the 
voice of the "Lord: unto whom the 'Lord sware 
that he would not shew them the land, which 
the Lord sware unto their fathers that he 
would give us, a land that floweth with milk 
and honey. 

7 And their children, whom he raised up in 
their stead, them 2 J6sh'u-a circumcised: for 
they were uncircumcised, because they had not 
circumcised them by the way. 

8 And it came to pass, when they had done 
circumcising all the people, that they abode in 
their places in the camp, till they were whole. 

9 And the "Lord said unto "Josh'u-a, This 
day have I 7 rolled away d the reproach of 
E'gypt from off you. Wherefore the name of 
the place is called Gil'gal unto this day. 

10 *~ "And the children of is'ra-el encamped 
in Gil'gal, and kept the passover on the four- 
teenth dayof the month at even in the plains 
of Jer'i-cho. 

11 And they did eat of the old °corn of the 
land on the morrow after the passover, un- 
leavened cakes, and parched com in the self- 
same day. 

12 r And the manna ceased on the morrow 
after they had eaten of the old corn of the 
land; neither had the children of Is'ra-el 
manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit 
of the land of Canaan that year. 

13 "" "'And it came to pass, when \Tosh'u-a 
was by Jer'i-cho, that he lifted up his eyes and 
looked, and, behold, there stood f a man over 
against him with his sword drawn in his hand : 
and : J5sh'u-a went unto him, and said unto 
him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 

14 And he said, Nay; but as "captain of 
the host of the Lord am I now come. And 
J6sh'u-a fell *on his face to the earth, and did 
worship, and said unto him, What saith my 
lord unto his servant? 






upon the top of it. (Gen. 28:18.) And Joshua said unto all the people. 
Behold, the stone shall be a witness unto us, for it hath heard all the 
words of the Lord which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a wit- 
ness uuto you, lest ye deny your God. (Josh. 24:27.) Then Samuel took 
a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it 
Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. (I Sam. 7:12.) 

c. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and 
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. (Ex. 14:21.) 

d. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine 
arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, 
till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. (Ex. 15:16.) Thou 
hast a mighty arm; strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 
(Ps. 89:13.,) 

e. That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his 
statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy 
son, and thy son's son. all the days of thy life; and that thy days may 
be prolonged. (Dt. 6:2.) And Moses said unto the people. Fear not; 
for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your 
faces, that ye sin not. (Ex*. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the begin- 
ning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his com- 
mandments; bis praise endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Fear God. and 
keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. The people shall hear, and he afraid; sorrow shall take hold on 



the inhabitants of Palestina. (Ex. 15:14.) Fear took hold upon them 
there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. (Ps. 48:6.) 

b. Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were 
numbered of you, according to your whole number, from 20 years old and 
upward, which have murmured against me. (Num. 14:29.) So it came 
to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among 
the people. (Dt. 2:16.) 

c. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It 
is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways. 
(Ps. 95:10.) 

d. Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in 
truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other 
side of the flood, and in Egypt, and serve ye the Lord. (Josh. 24:14.) 
Defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God. 
(Ezek. 20:7.)

breaking of the day. (Gen. 32:24.) And, while they looked stedfastly 
toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Jericho is shut up. 2 God instructeth Joshua 
how to besiege it. 12 The city is compassed. 
17 It must be accursed. 20 The ivalls fall 
down. 22 Rahab is saved. 26 The builder of 
Jericho is cursed. 

1 'Now Jer'i-cho Vas straitly shut up be- 
cause of the children of Is'ra-el: none went 
out, and none came in. 

2 And the 3 Lord said unto 4 J6sh'u~a, See, I 
have given into thine hand Jer'i-cho, and the 
king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 

3 And ye shall compass "the city, all ye men 
of war, and go round about the city once. 
Thus shalt thou do six days. 

4 And "seven priests shall bear before the 
ark "seven "trumpets of rams' horns: and the 
"seventh day ye shall compass the city "seven 
times, and the priests shall blow with the 
trumpets. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that when they 
make a long blast with the ram's horn, and 
when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all 
the people shall shout with a great shout; 
and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, 
and the people shall ascend up every man 
straight before him. 

6 \ 7 And J6sh'u-a the son of Nun called the 
priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark 
of the covenant, and let seven priests bear 
seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark 
of the Lord. 

7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and 
compass the city, and let him that is armed 
pass on before the ark of the 3 Lord. 

8 H And it came to pass, when 4 J6sh'u-a had 
spoken unto the people, that the seven priests 
bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns 
passed on s before the 'Lord, and blew with the 
trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the 
3 Lord followed them. 

9 H And the armed men went before the 
priests that blew with the trumpets, and the 
rereward came after the ark, the priests going 
on, and blowing with the trumpets. 

10 And 4 Josh'u-a had commanded the people, 
saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise 
with your voice, neither shall any word pro- 
ceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid 
you shout; then shall ye shout. 

11 So the ark of the 3 Lord compassed the 
city, going about it once: and they came into 
the camp, and lodged in the camp. 

12 H And 4 J5sh'u-a rose early in the morn- 
ing, and the priests took up the ark of the 
3 Lord. 

13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets 
of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord went 
on continually, and blew with the trumpets: 
and the armed men went before them; but the 
rereward came after the ark of the Lord, the 
priests going on, and blowing with the trum- 
pets. 

14 And the second day they compassed the

10. This indiscriminate massacre 
was at the command of Jehovah. (Dt. 
20:16, 17) — "But of the cities of 
these people, which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee for an inheritance, thou 
shalt save alive nothing that breath- 
eth. but thou shalt utterly destroy 
them, viz.. the Hittites. the Amor- 
ites, the Canaanites and the Periz- 
zites. the Hivites and the Jebusites, 
as the Lord thy God has command- 
ed thee." The command to destroy 
these people had been issued because 
of the excessive, willful, habitual 
and incurable wickedness. (Lev. IS: 
24-30) — "Defile not ye yourselves in 
any of these things: for in all these 
the nations are defiled which I cast 
out before you; and the land is defil- 
ed; therefore I do visit the iniquity 
thereof upon it. and the land itself 
vomiteth out her inhabitants. Ye 
shall therefore keep my statutes and 
my judgments, and shall not commit 
any of these abominations; neither 
any of your own nations, nor any 
stranger that sojourneth among you; 
for all these abominations have the 
men of the land done, which were 
before you, and the land is defiled; 
that the land spue not you out also, 
when ye defile it, as it spued out 
the nations that were before you. 
For w-hosoever shall commit any of 
these abominations, even the souls 
that commit them shall be cut oft 
from among their people."

city once, and returned into the camp: so they 
did six days. 

15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, 
that they rose early about the dawning of the 
day, and compassed the city after the same 
manner seven times: only on that day they 
compassed the city seven times. 

16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, 
when the priests blew with the trumpets, 
'J6sh'u-a said unto the people, ^Shout; for the 
Lord hath given you the city. 

17 H And the city shall be accursed, even it, 
and all that are therein, to the 3 Lord: only 
Ra'hab the harlot shall live, she and all that 
are with her in the house, because she hid the 
messengers that we sent. 

18 And ye, 'in any wise keep yourselves 
from the accursed thing, lest ye make your- 
selves accursed, when ye take of the accursed 
thing, and make the camp of Is'ra-el a curse, 
and trouble it. 

19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels 
of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the 
"Lord: they shall come into the treasury of the 
3 Lord. 

20 So the people shouted when the priests 
blew with the trumpets : and it came to pass, 
when the people heard the sound of the trump- 
et, and the people shouted with a great shout, 
that the wall fell down flat, so that the people 
went up into the city, every man straight be- 
fore him, and they took the city. 

21 And they utterly '"destroyed all that was 
in the city, both man and woman, young and 
old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge 
of the sword. 

22 But 4 J6sh'u-a had said unto the two men 
that had spied out the country, Go into the 
harlot's house, and bring out thence the 
woman, and all that she hath, fZ as ye sware 
unto her. 

23 And the young men that were spies went 
in, and brought out Ra'hab, and her father, and 
her mother, and her brethren, and all that she 
had; and they brought out all her kindred, and 
left them without the camp of Is'ra-el. 

24 And they burnt the city with fire, and 
all that was therein : only the silver, and the 
gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they 
put into the treasury of the house of the 
3 Lord. 

25 And 4 Josh'u-a saved Ra'hab the harlot 
alive, and her father's household, and all that 
she had; and she dwelleth in Is'ra-el even unto 
this day; because she hid the messengers, 
which 4 J6sh'u-a sent to spy out Jer'i-cho. 

26 H And 4 Josh'u-a "adjured them at that 
time, saying, Cursed be the man before the 
3 Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city 
Jer'i-cho: he shall lay the foundation thereof 
in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall 
he set up the gates of it. 

27 So the 3 Lord was with 4 J6sh'u-a; and his 
fame was noised throughout all the country.

saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. (Lev. 9:24.) Are they not 
all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be 
heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) 

g. And he said, Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off 
thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is- holy ground. (Ex. 3:5.) 
Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet; for the place 
where thou standest is holy ground. (Acts 7:33.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and 
he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers and 
lamps within the pitchers. (Jud. 7:16.) 

b. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the 
pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in 
their right hands to blow withal, and they cried, The sword of the 
Lord, and of Gideon. (Jud. 7:20.) And when Judah looked back, behold, 
the. battle was before and behind; and they cried unto the Lord, and the 
priests sounded with the trumpets. (II Chr. 13:14.) 



c. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house; lest 
thou be a cursed thing like it; but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou 
shalt utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing. (Dt. 7:26.) Depart ye, 
depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of 
the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. (Is. 52' 
11.) Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil, cleave 
to that which is good. (Rom. 12:9.) Wherefore come out from among 
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean 
thing; and I will receive you. (II Cor. 6:17.) And have no fellowship 
with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (Epb 
5:11.) 

d. And the men answered her. Our life for yours, if ye utter not 
this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the 
land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. (Josh. 2:14.) By 
faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when 
she had received the spies with peace. (Heb. 11:31.)

JOSHUA 



B. C. 1451 



1 But the Children of Is'ra-el committed a 
trespass in the 4 accursed thing: for 1<z A'chan, 
the son of Car'mi, the son of Zab'dl, the son 
of Ze'rah, of the tribe of Ju'dah, took of the 
accursed thing: and the anger of the 2 Lord 
was kindled against the children of Is'ra-el. 

2 And 3 J6sh'u-a sent men from Jer'i-cho to 
A'l, which is beside Beth-a'ven, on the east 
side of °Beth'-el, and spake unto them, saying, 
Go up and view the country. And the men 
went up and viewed A'L 

3 And they returned to J5sh'u-a, and said 
unto him, Let not all the people go up; but 
let about two or three thousand men go up and 
smite A'l; and make not all the people to la- 
bour thither; for they are but few. 

4 So there went up thither of the people 
about three thousand men : and they fled before 
the men of A'i. 

5 And the men of A'I smote of them about 
thirty and six men : for they chased them from 
before the gate even unto Sheb'a-rim, and 
smote them in the going down: wherefore the 
hearts of 6 the people melted, and became as 
water. 

6 If And 3 J6sh'u-a rent his clothes, and fell 
to the earth upon his face before the ark of 
the "Lord until the eventide, he and the elders 
of Is'ra-el, and put dust upon their heads. 

7 And 3 J6sh'u-a said, Alas, O 2 Lord God, 
wherefore c hast thou at all brought this people 
over Jor'dan, to deliver us into the hand of 
the Am'or-ites, to destroy us? would to God 
we had been content, and dwelt on the other 
side Jor'dan! 

8 O 2 Lord, what shall I say, when Is'ra-el 
turneth their backs before their enemies! 

9 For the Ca'naan-ites and all the inhab- 
itants of the land shall hear of it, and shall 
environ us round, and cut off our name from 
the earth: and d what wilt thou do unto 7 thy 
great name? 

10 If And the 2 Lord said unto 3 Josh'u-a, Get 
s thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy 
face? 

11 Is'ra-el hath sinned, and they have also 
transgressed my covenant which I commanded 
them: for they have even taken of the "ac- 
cursed thing, and have also stolen, and dis- 
sembled also, and they have put it even among 
their own stuff. 

12 Therefore the children of Is'ra-el could 
not stand before their enemies, but turned 
their backs before their enemies, because they 
were accursed: neither will I be with you any 
more, except ye ^destroy the accursed from 
among you. 

13 Up, ^sanctify the people, and say, Sanc- 
tify yourselves against to morrow: for thus 
saith the 2 Lord God of Is'ra-el, There is an 
accursed thing in the midst of thee, Is'ra-el: 
thou canst not stand before thine enemies, un- 
til ye take away the accursed thing from 
among you. 



1. A man of the tribe of Judah, 
son of Cartni. After the fall of Jer- 
icho he took a portion of the spoils 
which was a violation of the law 
made by Jehovah. As a punishment 
he was put to death. 



2. Jehovah, 
God.

3. For historical account of Josh,

4. That is, the spoils of war. 



5. When there was but one sinner, 
how can the whole nation be charg- 
ed with sin, is a question over which 
many have stumbled; but such are 
the relations of human society that 
the whole is punished for the sins of 
the part. Sins of nations and com- 
munities are punished in this life 
because nations and communities do 
not exist after death. It should be 
remembered however, that this pun- 
ishment is temporal and not eternal 
to those who are not personally re- 
sponsible for the sin. Keil says: 
"The scriptures teach that a nation 
is one organic whole in which the in- 
dividuals are .merely members of the 
same body and are not atoms isolated 
from one another and the whole. The 
state is therefore treated as a divine 
institution, founded upon family re- 
lationships and intended to promote 
the love of all to one another. As 
all then are combined in a fellow- 
ship established by God, the good or 
evil deeds of an individual affect 
beneficially or injuriously the whole 
society." 



6. House of God. A city and holy 
place in central Palestine, was orig- 
inally called Luz. It was named by 
Jacob at the time of his dream, be- 
holding the angels descending and 
ascending from the open heavens. 



7. That is, with thy great name. 



8. An implication that this great 
sin must be put away before the peo- 
ple are restored to Jehovah's favor, 
as the "sacrifice of the wicked Is an 
abomination to the Lord; but the 
prayer of the upright is his delight." 
(Prov. 15:8.) 



9. About .$125.00, but a dollar 
then had about ten times the pur- 
chasing power it has at the present 
time. 



10. A shekel of gold was equal 
to about five and a half dollars, 
therefore the wedge was equal to 
about $275. 



11. That is, the shekels of silver 
were under the Babylonish garment. 



12. A statement of much dispute. 
Some claim that the sons and daugh- 
ters were taken simply to witness 
the execution, others claim that they 
were executed with their father. 



13. That is, trouble. 



14 In the morning therefore ye shall be 
brought according to your tribes: and it shall 
be, that the tribe which the 2 Lord taketh shall 
come according to the families thereo.f; and 
the family which the 2 Lord shall take shall 
come by households; and the household which 
the 2 Lord shall take shall come man by man. 

15 And it shall be, that he that is taken 
with the accursed thing shall be burnt with 
fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath 
transgressed the covenant of the 2 Lord, and 
because he hath wrought folly in Is'ra-el. 

16 1f So 3 J6sh'u-a rose up early in the morn- 
ing, and brought Is'ra-el by their tribes; and 
the tribe of Ju'dah was taken: 

17 And he brought the family of Ju'dah; 
and he took the family of the Zar'hltes : and he 
brought the family of the Zar'hltes man by 
man ; and Zab'dl was taken : 

18 And he brought his household man by 
man; and A'chan, the son of Car'mi, the son 
of Zab'dl, the son of Ze'rah, of the tribe of 
Ju'dah, was taken. 

. 19 And 3 J6sh'u-a said unto ^'chan, My son, 
give, ^1 pray thee, glory to the 2 Lord God of 
Is'ra-el, and make confession unto him; and 
tell me now what thou hast done; ''hide it not 
from me. 

20 And ^'chan answered 3 J6sh'u-a, and 
said, Indeed I have sinned against the 2 Lord 
God of Is'ra-el, and thus and thus have I done: 

21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly 
Bab'y-lo'nish garment, and two hundred 
"shekels of silver, and a wedge of ,0 gold of 
fifty shekels weight, then I 'coveted them, and 
took them; and, behold, they are hid in the 
earth in the midst of my tent, and the "silver 
under it. 

22 1f So 3 Josh'u-a sent messengers, and they 
ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in 
his tent, and the silver under it. 

23 And they took them out of the midst 
of the tent, and brought them unto 3 J6sh'u-a, 
and unto all the children of Is'ra-el, and laid 
them out before the 2 Lord. 

24 And Josh'u-a, and all Is'ra-el with him, 
took A'chan the son of Ze'rah, and the silver, 
and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and 
his sons, 12 and his daughters, and his oxen, and 
his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all 
that he had: and they brought them unto the 
valley of A'chor. 

25 And 3 J6sh'u-a said, Why hast thou trou- 
bled us? the 2 Lord shall trouble thee this day. 
^And all Is'ra-el stoned him with stones, and 
burned them with fire, after they had stoned 
them . with stones. 

26 And they raised over him a great heap 
of stones unto this day. So fc the 2 Lord turned 
from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore 
the name of that place was called, The valley 
of "A'chor, unto this day. 



Chapter 7. 

a. Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the ac- 
cursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that 
man perished not alone in his iniquity. (Josh. 22:20.) 

b. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness 
into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a 
shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a 
sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. (Lev. 26:36.) 

c. And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore 
hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me? 
(Ex, 5:22.) 

d. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak and say, For mischief 
did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume 
them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and re- 
pent of this evil against thy people. (Ex. 32:12.) 

e. Neither shf/lt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest 
thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou 
shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. CDt. 7:26.) 

f. See f, ch. 3, Josh. 

g. Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall 
commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and 



that person be guilty (6). Then they shall confess their sin which they 
have done; and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal 
thereof and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him 
against whom he hath trespassed. (Num. 5:6, 7.) 

h. But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord 
and be sure your sin will find you out. (Num. 32:23.) Then Peter 
said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the 
Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy 
husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. (Acts 5:9.) For our 
transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against 
us; for cur transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we 
know them. (Is. 59:12.) 

i. For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some 
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) Thou shalt not take the 
name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him 
guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Ex. 20:7.) Then shalt thou 
bring forth that man or that woman, -which hath committed that wicked 
thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone 
them with stones, till they die. (Dt. 17:5.) 

k. And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand;

CHAPTER 8. 
1 God encourageth Joshua. 3 The stratagem 
whereby Ai ivas taken. 29 The king thereof 
is hanged. 30 Joshua buildeth an altar. 

1 And the 'Lord said unto 2 Josh'u-a, a Fear 
not, neither be thou dismayed : take all the peo- 
ple of war with thee, and arise, go up to A'i: 
see, I have given into thy hand the king of 
A'l, and his people, and hiscity, and his land: 

2 And thou shalt do to A'i and her king as 
thou didst unto Jer'i-cho and her king: only 
the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall 
ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee 
an ambush for the city behind it. 

3 If So 2 J6sh'u-a arose, and all the people of 
war, to go up against A'I : and J6sh'u-a chose 
out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and 
sent them away by night. 

4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, 
ye shall lie in wait against the city, even be- 
hind the city: go not very far from the city, 
but be ye all ready: 

5 And I, and all the people that are with 
me, will approach unto the city: and it shall 
come to pass, when they come out against us, 
as at the first, that 6 we will flee before thern, 

6 (For they will come out after us) till we 
have drawn them from the city; for they will 
say, They flee before us, as at the first: there- 
fore we will flee before them. 

7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, 
and seize upon the city: for the 'Lord your 
God will deliver it into your hand. 

8 And it shall be, when ye have taken the 
city, that ye shall set the city on fire: accord- 
ing to the commandment of the 'Lord shall ye 
do. c See, I have commanded you. 

9 1f 2 Josh'u-a therefore sent them forth : and 
they went to lie in ambush, and abode be- 
tween Beth'-el and A'i, on the west side of A'i : 
but J6sh'u-a lodged that night among the 
people. 

10 And 2 Josh'u-a ^rose up early in the morn- 
ing, and numbered the people, and went up, 
he and the elders of is'ra-el, before the people 
to A'I. 

11 And all the people, even the people of 
war that were with him, went up, and drew 
nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on 
the north side of A'i: now there was a valley 
between them and A'I. 

12 And he took about five thousand men, 
and set them to lie in ambush between Beth'-el 
and A'i, on the west side of the city. 

13 And when they had set the people, even 
all the host that was on the north of the city, 
and 'their liers in wait on the west of the 
city, 2 J6sh'u-a went that night into the midst 
of the valley. 

14 f And it came to pass, when the king of 
A'I saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, 
and the men of the city went out against Is'- 
ra-el to battle, he and all his people, at a 4 time 
appointed, before the plain; but he wist not

that thei - e were liers in ambush against him 
behind the city. 

15 And 2 J6sh'u-a and all is'ra-el made as if 
they were beaten before them, and fled by the 
way of the wilderness. 

16 And all the people that were in A'I were 
called together to pursue after them: and 
they pursued after 2 J6sh'u-a, and were drawn 
away e from the city. 

17 And there was not a man left in A'I or 
Beth'-el, that went not out after is'ra-el: and 
they left the city open, and pursued after 
is'ra-el. 

18 And the 'Lord said unto 2 J6sh'u-a, 
Stretch _out the spear that is in thy hand 
toward A'I ; for I will give it into thine hand. 
And J6sh'u-a stretched out the spear that he 
had in his hand toward the city. 

19 And the ambush arose quickly out of 
their place, and they ran as soon as he had 
stretched out his hand: and they entered into 
the city, and took it, and hasted and set the 
city on fire. 

20 And when the men of A'I looked behind 
them, they saw, and, behold the smoke of the 
city ascended up to heaven, and they had no 
power to flee this way or that way: and the 
people that fled to the wilderness turned back 
upon the pursuers. 

21 And when 2 Josh'u-a and all Is'ra-el saw 
that the ambush had taken the city, and that 
the smoke of the city ascended, then they 
turned again, and slew the men of A'I. 

22 And the other issued out of the city 
against them; so they were in the midst of 
is'ra-el, some on this side, and some on that 
side: and they smote them, so that they let 
''none of them remain or escape. 

23 And the king of A'I they took alive, and 
brought him to 2 Josh'u-a. 

24 And it came to pass, when Is'ra-el had 
made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of 
A'I in the field, in the wilderness wherein they 
chased them, and when they were all fallen 
on the edge of the sword, until they were 
consumed, that all the is'ra-el-Ites returned 
unto A'I, and smote it with the edge of the 
sword. 

25 And so it was, that all that fell that 
day, both of men and women L were twelve 
thousand, even all the men of A'I. 

26 For 2 J6sh'u-a drew not his hand back, 
wherewith be stretched out the spear, until 
he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants 
of A'I. 

27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that 
city is'ra-el took for a prey unto themselves, 
according unto the word of the *Lord which 
he commanded Josh'u-a. 

28 And 2 J6sh'u-a burnt A'I, and made it an 
#heap for ever, even a desolation unto this 
day. 

29 And Hhe king of A'I he hanged on a 
tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun 
was down, 2 J6sh'u-a cqmmanded that Hhey 



that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee 
mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath 
sworn unto thy fathers. (Dt. 13:17.) 
Chapter 8. 

a. Behold, the Lord thy God tiath set the land before thee; go up 
and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee: 
Fear not, neither he discouraged. (Dt. 1:21.) Have not I commanded 
thee? Be' strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou 
d.smayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. 
(Josh. 1:9.) 

b. And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before 
us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and 
draw them from the city unto the highways. (Jud. 20:32.) 

c. And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest 
us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. (Josh. 
1:16.) 

d. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may 
cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord. (Ps. 101:8.) I made 
haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. (Ps. 119:60.) What- 
soever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: for there is no 
work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither 
thou goest. (Ecc. 9:10.) O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute 
judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the 



hand of the oppressor lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none 
can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. (Jer. 21:12.) 

e. And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and 
were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, 
and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to 
the house of God, and the other two Gibeah in the field, about 30 men 
of Israel. (Jud. 20:31.) The Lord is known by the judgment which 
he executeth; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Ps. 
9:16.) 

f. And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou 
shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no cove- 
nant with them, nor show mercy unto them. (Dt. 7:2.) 

g. And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the 
street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof 
every whit, for the Lord thy God: and it shall be an heat for ever; it 
shall not be built again. (Dt. 13:16.) 

h. He poureth contempt upon princes and causeth them to wander 
in the wilderness, where there is no way. (Ps. 107:40.) The Lord at 
thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. (Ps. 
110:5.) 

i. His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt 
in any wise bury him that day (for he that is hanged is accursed of 
God); that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee

should take his carcase down from the tree, 
and cast it at the entering of the gate of the 
city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, 
that remaineth unto this day. 

30 \\ ir Then 2 Josh'u-a ^'built an altar unto the 
'Lord God of Is'ra-el in mount E'bal, 

31 As Mo'§e§ the servant of the Lord com- 
manded the children of Isra-el, as it is written 
in the book of the law of Mo'§e§, an altar of 
whole stones, over which no man hath lift up 
any iron; and they offered thereon '■"burnt 
offerings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peace 
offerings. 

32 H And 'he wrote there upon the stones a 
copy of the law of Mo'ses, which he wrote in 
the presence of the children of Is'ra-el. 

33 And all is'ra-el, and their elders, and 
officers, and their judges, stood on this side 
the ark and on that side before the priests the 
Le'vites, which bare the ark of the covenant 
of the 1 Lord, as well the stranger, as he that 
was born among them; half of them over 
against mount Ger'i-zim, and half of them 
over against mount E'bal; as M5'se§ the serv- 
ant of the 1 Lord had commanded before, that 
they should bless the people of Is'ra-el. 

■ 34 And afterward he read all the words of 
the law, the "'blessings and cursings, according 
to all that is written in the book of the law. 
35 There was not a word of all that M5'§es 
commanded, which Josh'u-a read not before all 
the congregation of Is'ra-el, with the women, 
and the little ones, and the strangers that were 
conversant among them. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 The kings combine against Israel. 3 The 
Gibeonites by craft obtain a league. 16 For 
which they are condemned to perpetual 
bondage. 

1 And it came to pass, when all the kings 
which were on this 'side Jor'dan, in the hills, 
and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the 
great sea over against Leb'a-non, the Hit'tite, 
and the Am'or-ite, the Ca'naan-ite, the Per'- 
iz-zite, the Hi-vite, and the Jeb'u-site, heard 
thereof; 

2 That they gathered themselves together, to 
3 fight with 2 J6sh'u-a and with Is'ra-el, with one 
accord. 

3 IF And when the inhabitants of Gib'e-on 
heard what 2 J6sh'u-a had done unto Jer'i-ch5 
and to A'T, 

4 They did work wilily, and went and made 
as if they had been ambassadors^ and took old 
sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, 
and rent, and bound up; 

5 And old shoes and 4 clouted upon their 
feet, and old garments upon them; and all the 
bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. 

6_And they went to 2 Josh'u-a unto the camp 
at Gil'gal, and said unto him, and to the men 
of Is'ra-el, We be come from a far country: 
now therefore make ye a league with us.

should live as slaves, their punish- 
ment for disobedience. 



B. C. 1451 

7 And the men of Is'ra-el said unto the 
Hi'vites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; 
and "how shall we make a league with you? 

8 And they said unto "J6sh'u-a, We are thy 
servants. And J6sh'u-a said unto them, Who 
are ye? and from whence come ye? 

9 And they said unto him, From a very far 
country thy servants are come because of the 
name of the 'Lord thy God : for we have ''heard 
the fame of him and all that he did in 
Egypt, 

10 And all that he did to the two kings of 
the Am'or-ites, that were beyond Jor'dan, to 
Si'hon king of Hesh'bon, and to Og king of 
Ba'shan, which was at Ash'ta-roth. 

11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhab- 
itants of our country spake to us, saying, Take 
victuals with you for the journey, and go to 
meet them, and say unto them, We are your 
servants: therefore now make ye a league 
with us. 

12 This our bread we took hot for our provi- 
sion out of our houses on the day we came 
forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is 
dry, and it is mouldy: 

13 And these bottles of wine, which we 
filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: 
and these our garments and our shoes are be- 
come old by reason of the very long journey. 

14 And the men took of their victuals and 
asked not "counsel at the mouth of the 'Lord. 

15 And 2 J6sh'u-a made c peace with them, 
and made a league with them, to let them 
live: and the princes of the congregation sware 
unto them. 

16 IF And it came to pass at the end of three 
days after they had made a league with 
them, that they heard that they were their 
neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. 

17 And the children of Is'ra-el journeyed, 
and came unto their cities on the third day. 
Now their cities were Gib'e-on, and Che-phT'- 
rah, and Be-e'r5th, and Klr'jath-je'a-rim. 

18 And the children of Is'ra-el smote them 
not, because the princes of the congregation 
had sworn unto them by the *Lord God of Is'- 
ra-el. And all the congregation Murmured 
against the princes. 

19 But all the princes said unto all the con- 
gregation, We have sworn unto them by the 
'Lord God of Is'ra-el: now therefore we may 
not touch them. 

20 This we will do to them; we will even 
let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of 
the oath which we sware unto them. 

21 And the princes said unto them, Let 
them live; but let them be e hewers of wood 
and 'drawers of water unto all the congrega- 
tion: as the princes had promised them. 

22 IF And 2 Josh'u-a called for them, and he 
spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye 
beguiled us, saying, We are very far from 
you: when ye dwell among us? 

23 Now therefore ye are ''cursed, and there 



going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them 
down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been 
hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this 
very day. (Josh. 10:27.) 

j. And the Lord appeared unto Abram and said, Unto thy seed will 
I give this land; and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who ap- 
peared unto him. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the 
east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and 
Hai on the east; and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and 
called upon the name of the Lord. (Gen. 12:7, 8.) Therefore it shall be 
when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which 
I commanded you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them 
with plaster. And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy 
God, an altar of stones; thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 
(Dt. 27:4, 5.) 

k. For purpose and design of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

1. And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto 
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up 
great stones, and plaster them with plaster (2). And thou shalt write 
upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. (Dt. 27:2, 8.) 

m. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I 
have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore 
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live (19). That thou 
mayest love I he Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and 
that thou mayest cleave unto him; for he is thy life, and the length 



of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware 
unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. 
(Dt. 30:19, 20.) 
Chapter 9. 

a. Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 
(Ex. 23:32.) And when the Lord ttvy God shall deliver them before 
thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make 
no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them. (Dt. 7:2.) 

b. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the 
Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the 
two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon 
and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. (Josh. 2:10.) 

c. And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now the 
Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the 
Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; and Saul 
sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah). 
(II Sam. 21:2.) 

d. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoreth them 
that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 
(Ps. 15:4.) 

e. Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy 
camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water. (Dt. 
29:11.)

be unto his brethren. (Gen. 9:25.)

shall none of you be freed from being bond- 
men, and hewers of wood and drawers of wa- 
ter for the house of my God. 

24 And they answered J6sh'u-a, and said, 
Because it was certainly told thy servants, 
how that the Lord thy God ^commanded his 
servant Mo'§e§ to give you all the land, and to 
destroy ail the inhabitants of the land from 
before you, therefore we were sore afraid of 
our lives because of you, and have done this 
thing. 

25 And now, behold, we are ''in thine hand: 
as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do 
unto us, do. 

26 And so did he unto them, and delivered 
them out of the hand of the children of Is'ra-el, 
that they slew them not. 

27 And J6sh'u-a made them that day hewers 
of wood and drawers of water for the con- 
gregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even 
unto this day, in the place which he should 
choose. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 Five kings war against Gibeon. 10 God 
fighteth against them with hailstones. 12 
The sun and moon stand still at the ivord of 
Joshua. 16 The five kings are mured in a 
cave. 23 They are brought forth, 26 and 
hanged. 28 Seven kings more are con- 
quered. 43 Joshua returneth to Gilgal. 

1 Now it came to pass, when A-don'i-ze'dec 
king of 'Je-ru'sa-lem had heard how Josh'u-a 
had taken A'l, and had utterly destroyed it; 
as he had done to Jer'i-cho and her king, so 
he had done to a _A'i and her king; and how the 
inhabitants of Gib'e-on had made peace with 
is'ra-el, and were among them; 

2 That they 6 feared greatly, because Gib'- 
e-on was a great city, as one of the royal cities, 
and because it was greater than A'l, and all 
the men thereof were mighty. 

. 3 Wherefore A-don'i-ze'dec king of 'Je-ru'- 
sa-lem sent unto He'ham king of 2 He'bron, and 
unto Pi'ram king of 3 Jar'muth, and unto Ja- 
phi'a king of La'chish, and unto De'bir king of 
Eg'lon, saying, 

4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we 
may smite Gib'e-on: for c it hath made peace

1. The first time that mention is 
made in the Bible of this celebrated 
city. 

2. Situated 20 miles south of Je- 
rusalem, among the mountains of Ju- 
dah, it is 2,800 feet above the sea 
level and has the greatest elevation 
of any city in Palestine; it is 600 
feet higher than Jerusalem, and is 
one of the most ancient cities in the 
world. 

3. A town about 18 miles south- 
west of Jerusalem. 

4. An ancient city of Canaan be- 
longing to the Hivites. 

5. For historical account of Josh, 
see 6, ch. 1. 

6. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

7. Supposed by some to be a 
shower of meteoric stones, by others 
to mean hailstones. 

8. Vs. 12-15 detail the standing 
still of the sun and moon. 

9. Various have been the theories 
devised to explain the manner of this 
stupendous miracle. Some assert 
that the passage is merely a poetical 
interpolation to adorn the narrative 
and heighten its effect. They alleged 
that it is never quoted in the cata- 
logues of the Old Testament mir- 
acles. To this we reply that, as we 
never find any exhaustive catalogues 
of those miracles, the omission of 
this proves nothing. The writer of 
the epistle to the Hebrews omits the 
striking and unquestioned miracle of 
the passage of the Jordan (see Heb. 
11:29, 30). Others explain this mir- 
acle as merely a poetical statement 
of the fact that the Israelites, in an- 
swer to Joshua's prayer, were endow- 
ed with power to do two days' work 
in one — a theory too absurd to call 
for sober refutation. There are oth- 
ers who insist that the earth's mo- 
tion on its axis was actually arrest- 
ed, causing a cessation of the appar- 
ent diurnal revolution of the sun and 
moon. Our objection to this thecry 
is, that it involves several secret 
miracles. A sudden check in the ve- 
locity of rotation of the earth on 
its axis would violently throw down 
objects on its surface, especially near 
the equator. Prof. Mitchell has as- 
certained that, if a resisting force 
were gradually applied, like a brake 
to a car wheel, "in forty seconds the 
motion might cease entirely, and the 
change would not be sensible to the 
Inhabitants of the earth, except from 
the appearance of the heavens." But 
this would require a direct interpo- 
sition of a secret miracle to keep 
the ocean, which is sustained at a 
higher level in the equatorial regions 



with J6sh'u-a and with the children of is'ra-el. 

5 Therefore the five kings of the Am'or-ites, 
the king of 'Je-ru'sa-lem, the king of 2 He'- 
bron, the king of 'Jar'muth, the king of La'- 
chish, the king of Eg'lon, gathered themselves 
together, and went up, they and all their hosts, 
and encamped before Gib'e-on, and made war 
against it. 

6 H And the men of _*Gib'e-on sent unto 
5 J6sh'u-a to the camp to Gil'gal, saying, Slack 
not thy hand from thy servants; come up to 
us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all 
the kings of the Am'or-ites that dwell in the 
mountains are gathered together against us. 

7 So 5 J6sh'u-a ascended from Gil'gal, he, and 
all the people of war with him, and all the 
mighty men of valour. 

8 f And the "Lord said unto J6sh'u-a, Fear 
them not: for I have delivered them into thine 
''hand; there shall not a man of them stand 
before thee. 

9 5 Josh'u-a therefore came unto them sud- 
denly, and went up from Gil'gal all night. 

10 And the "Lord e discomnted them before 
Is'ra-el, and slew them with a great slaughter 
at Gib'e-on, and chased them along the way 
that goeth up to Beth-ho'ron, and smote them 
to A-ze'kah, and unto Mak-ke'dah. 

. 11 And it came to pass, as they fled from 
before Is'ra-el, and were in the going down 
to Beth-h5'r6n, fthat the "Lord cast down great 
'stones from heaven upon them unto A-ze'kah, 
and they died : they were more which died with 
'hailstones than they whom the children of 
Is'ra-el slew with the sword. 

12 II s Then spake 5 Josh'u-a to the 6 Lord in 
the day when the Lord delivered up the Am'- 
or-ites before the children of Is'ra-el, and he 
said in the sight of is'ra-el, #Sun, "stand thou 
still upon Gib'e-on; and thou, Moon, in the 
valley of Aj'a-lon. 

13 And the sun stood still, and the moon 
stayed, until the people had avenged them- 
selves upon their enemies. Is not this written 
in the book of 10 Ja'sher? So the sun stood still 
in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go 
down about a whole day. 

14 And there was no day like that before 
it or after it, that the "Lord hearkened unto 



by the centrifugal force, from flow- 
ing toward the poles, and from sub- 
merging much of the continents, and 
to keep the Mediterranean Sea from 
dashing over Palestine. Again: By 
the recent discovery of the correla- 
tion of forces it has been demonstrat- 
ed that a force requisite to arrest 
the revolution of the earth, must 
convert momentum into heat equal to 
that generated by the burning of a 
mass of anthracite coal fourteen 
times as large as the globe itself. 
Another secret miracle would be re- 
quired to prevent this universal con- 
flagration. But the secret miracles 
so far as we know, have no place in 
the divine system, since they cannot 
authenticate a revelation, or demon- 
strate to man the interposition of 
God's hand in the course of nature. 
We. therefore, with a large number 
of commentators and Christian phi- 
losophers, adopt the theory that the 
standing still of the sun and moon 
was optical, and not literal — that we 



have a description of phenomena as 
presented to the eyes of the spectat- 
ors. A miracle performed upon the 
vision (eyesight) of the people, in- 
stead of on the sun and moon would 
be none the less a miracle. The lan- 
guage of the scriptures is evidently 
popular and not scientific; as when 
we speak of the earth as standing 
still and the sun as rising and set- 
ting. By the supernatural refrac- 
tion, or bending of the rays of light, 
the sun and moon might maintain a 
stationary appearance for several 
hours. Even by natural refraction 
we daily see the sun before it has 
risen above, and after it has gone 
below, the horizon. The miraculous 
receding of the shadow of the dial 
of Ahaz (II Ks. 20:11; Is. 38:8). was 
probably caused by a similar super- 
natural refraction of the sun's rays. 
The explanation of these astronom- 
ical miracles involves the principle 
which is found in nearly all mir- 
acles, viz., the intensifying of some 



natural agency rather than the viola- 
tion of any natural laws. As in case 
of the widow's cruse and the feeding 
of the multitudes, new oil and new 
loaves were not created, but that 
which was in existence multiplied, so 
do we believe that instead of a new 
and strange force brought to bear 
on nature the natural laws of re- 
fraction were intensified in both cf 
these miracles. 

There is no astronomical difficulty 
in the statement of the positions of 
the sun and the moon at that time. 
To Joshua, standing at Upper Beth- 
horon, the direction of Gibeon was 
southeast, which would also be the 
direction of the sun in the early part 
cf the day, at which time the moon 
might have been in the southwest, 
above the valley of Aijalon. ap- 
proaching its setting. To the question 
why Joshua should ask for the day 
to be lengthened, while more than 
half the day was still unspent, we re- 
ply that the account does not say 



that he asked for such a miracle. 
He "spake to the Lord." We are 
left to supply the subject matter of 
his prayer, which would naturally be 
for aid to annihilate God's foes. He 
received no answer, but is suddenly 
endowed with the gift of faith that 
at his command to the sun and moon 
God will work an unheard-of miracle, 
for the demonstration of his sover- 
eignty over physical law and of his 
interest in his people. It is quite 
probable that the sun and the moon, 
the gods of so many pagan nations, 
were the divinities of the Canaanites. 
to whom they were then appealing 
for aid against the victorious He- 
brews. If this be true, there is a 
peculiar appropriateness in this mir- 
acle, strikingly demonstrating to both 
armies the superiority of the God of 
Joshua. (W.)

sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and 
discomfited them. (Ps. 18:14.) For the Lord shall rise up as in Mt.

shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his 
anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and 
tempest, and hail stones. (Is. 30:30.) And there fell upon men a great 
hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent, and men 
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague there-

the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for 
is'ra-el. 

15 ^And 5 J6sh'u-a returned, and all Is'ra-el 
with him, unto the camp to Gil'gal. - 

18 "But these five kings fled, and hid them- 
selves in a cave at Mak-ke'dah. 

17 And it was told 3 Josh'u-a, saying, The 
five kings are found hid in a cave at Mak-ke'- 
dah. 

18 And Josh'u-a said, Roll great stones upon 
the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for 
to keep them: 

19 And stay ye not, hut pursue after your 
enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; 
suffer them not to enter into their cities: for 
the °Lord your God hath delivered them into 
your hand. 

20 And it came to pass, when 3 J5sh'u-a and 
the children of Is'ra-el had made an end of 
slaying them with a very great slaughter, till 
they were consumed, that the rest which re- 
mained of them entered into fenced cities. 

21 And all the people returned to the camp 
to 3 J6sh'u-a at Mak-ke'dah in peace: none 
moved his tongue against any of the children 
of Is'ra-el. 

22 "Then said 3 Josh'u-a, Open the mouth of 
the cave, and bring out those five kings unto 
me out of the cave. 

23 And they did so, and brought forth those 
five kings unto him out of the cave, the king 
of Je-ru'sa-lem, the king of He'bron, the king 
of Jar'muth, the king of La'chish, and the king 
of Eg'lon. 

24 And it came to pass, when they brought 
out those kings unto Josh'u-a, that 3 J6sh'u-a 
called for all the men of is'ra-el, and said unto 
the captains of the men of war which went 
with him, Come near, put your feet upon the 
necks of these kings. And they came near, 
and put their feet upon the necks of them. 

25 And Josh'u-a said unto them, Fear not, 
''nor be dismayed, be strong and of good cour- 
age: for thus shall the L.ord do to all your 
enemies against whom ye fight. 

26 And afterward 3 J5sh'u-a smote them, and 
slew them, and hanged them on five trees : and 
they were hanging upon the trees until the 
evening. 

27 And it came to pass at the time of the 
going down of the sun, that J5sh'u-a com- 
manded, and they took them 'down off the 
trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they 
had been hid, and laid great stones in the

day. 

28 TI 13 And that day Josh'u-a took Mak-ke'- 
dah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, 
and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, 
them, and all the souls that were therein; he 
let none remain : and he did to the king of Mak- 
ke'dah as he did unto the king of Jer'i-cho. 

29 Then 5 J6sh'u-a passed from Mak-ke'dah, 
and all Is'ra-el with him, unto Lib'nah, and 
fought against .Lib'nah : 

30 And the "Lord delivered it also, and the 
king thereof, into the hand of Is'ra-el; and he 
smote it with the edge of the sword, and all 
the souls that were therein; he let none re- 
main in it; but did unto the king thereof as he 
did unto the king of Jer'i-cho. 

31 If And 3 Josh'u-a passed from Lib'nah, 
and all Ts'ra-el with him, unto La'chish, and 
encamped against it, and fought against it: 

32 And the "Lord delivered La'chish into 
the hand of Is'ra-el, which took it on the sec- 
ond day, and smote it with the edge of the 
sword, and all the souls that were therein, ac- 
cording to all that he had done to Lib'nah.

decisive blow. But in all such strug- 
gles there is usually one last effort 
made for the defeated cause. This. 
in the subjugation of Canaan, was 
the battle of Merom. Bound Jabin 
were assembled the heads of all the 
tribes who had not yet fallen under 
Joshua's sword. As the British 
chiefs were driven to Land's End be- 
fore the advance of the Saxon, so 
at this Land's End of Palestine were 
gathered for the last struggle, not 
only the kings of the north." in the i

33 11 Then Ho'ram king of Ge'zer came up 
to help La'chish; and Josh'u-a smote him and 
his people, until he' had left him none remain- 
ing. 

34 If And from La'chish Josh'u-a passed 
unto Eg'lon, and all Is'ra-el with him; and 
they encamped against it, and fought against 
it: 

35 And they took it on that day, and smote 
it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls 
that were therein he utterly destroyed that 
day, according to all that he had done to La'- 
chish. 

36 And 3 J6sh'u-a went up from Eg'lon, and 
all Is'ra-el with him, unto He'bron; and they 
fought against it: 

37 And they took it, and smote it with the 
edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and 
all the cities thereof, and all the souls that 
were therein; he left none remaining, accord- 
ing to all that he had done to Eg'lon; but de- 
stroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were 
therein. 

38 1i And 3 J6sh'u-a returned, and all Is'ra-el 
with him, to DeTfir; and fought against it: 

39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and 
all the cities thereof; and they smote them 
with the edge of the sword, and utterly de- 
stroyed all the souls that were therein; he 
left none remaining: as he had done to He'- 
bron, so he did to De'bir, and to the king 
thereof; as he had done also to Lib'nah, and to 
her king. 

40 U So Josh'u-a smote all the country of 
the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, 
and of the springs, and all their kings: he left 
none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that 
breathed, as the "Lord God of Is'ra-el com- 
manded. 

41 And 3 J6sh'u-a smote them from Ka'desh- 
bar'ne-a even unto Ga'za, and all the country 
of Go'shen, even unto Gib'e-on. 

42 And all these kings and their land did 
°Joshu-a take at one time, because the 6 Lord 
God of Is'ra-el fought for Is'ra-el. 

43 And 3 J6sh'u-a returned, and all Is'ra-el 
with him, unto the camp to Gil'gal. 

CHAPTER 11. 

1 Divers kings overcome at the waters of 
Merom. 10 Hazor is taken and burnt. 16 
All the country taken by Joshua. 21 The 
Anakims cut off. 

1 And it came to pass, when Jalnn king of 
Ha'zor had heard those things, that he sent 
to J5'bab king of Ma'don, and to the king of 
Shim'ron, and to the king of Ach'shaph, 

2 And to the kings that were on the north 
of the mountains, and of the plains south of 
Chin'ne-roth, and in the valley, and in the 
borders of Dor on the west, 

3 And to the Ca'naan-ite on the east and on 
the west, and to the Am'or-Ite, and the Hit'- 
tite, and the Per'Iz-zite, and the Jeb'u-site in 
the mountains, and to the Hi'vlte under Her'- 
mSn in the land of Miz'peh. 

4 And they went out, they and all their 
hosts with them, much people, even as the 
sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, 
with horses and chariots very many. 

5 And when all these kings were met to- 
gether, they came and pitched together at the 
waters of Me'rom, to fight against Is'ra-el. 

6 % And the *Lord said unto : J6sh'u-a, Be not 
afraid because of them: for to morrow about 
this time will I deliver them up all slain be- 
fore Is'ra-el: thou shalt 3 hough "their horses, 
and burn their chariots with fire. 



of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering sphere. 
(Hab. 3:11.) 

h. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good cour- 
age; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is 
with thee whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:9.) The Lord is my light 
and my salvation: whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; 
of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) Be not afraid of their faces; for 
I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) 



i. His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt 
in any wise bury him that day (for he that is hanged is accursed of 
God); that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee 
for an inheritance. (Dt. 21:23.)

chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. (II Sam.

7 So J6sh'u-a came, and all the people of 
war with him, against them by the waters of 
Me rom suddenly; and they fell upon them. 

8 "And the Lord delivered them into the 
hand of is'ra-el, who smote them, and chased 
them unto great Zi'don, and unto Mis're-photh- 
ma'im, and unto the valley of Miz'peh east- 
ward; and they smote them, until they left 
them none remaining. 

9 And J6sh'u-a did unto them as the 'Lord 
bade him: he ^houghed their horses, and burnt 
their chariots with fire. 

10 H And 2 J6sh'u-a at that time turned back, 
and took Ha'zor, and smote the king thereof 
with the sword: for Ha'zor beforetime was the 
head of all those kingdoms. 

11 And they smote all the souls that were 
therein with the edge of the sword, utterly 
destroying them: there was not any left to 
breathe: and he burnt Ha'zor with fire. 

12 And all the cities of those kings, and all 
the kings of them, did 2 J6sh'u-a take, and 
smote them with the edge of the sword, and he 
utterly destroyed them, as Mo'§e§ the servant 
of the 'Lord commanded. 

13 But as for the cities that stood still in 
their strength, Is'ra-el burned none of them, 
save Ha'zor only; that did Josh'u-a burn. 

14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the 
cattle, the children of Is'ra-el took for a prey 
unto themselves; but every man they smote 
with the edge of the sword, until they had 
destroyed them, ' neither left they any to 
breathe. 

15 1f As the 'Lord ^commanded Mo'§e§ his 
servant, so did Mo'§e§ command 2 J6sh'u-a, and 
c so did J6sh'u-a; he left nothing undone of all 
that the Lord commanded Mo'ge§. 

16 4 So 2 J6sh'u-a took all that land, the hills, 
and all the south country, and all the land of 
Go'shen, and the valley, and the plain, and 
the mountain of Is-ra-el, and the valley of the 
same. 

17 Even from the mount Ha'lak, that goeth 
up to Se'ir, even unto Ba'al-gad in the valley 
of Leb'a-non under mount Her'mon: and all 
their kings he took, and smote them, and slew 
them. 

18 2 J6sh'u-a made war a long time with all 
those kings. 

19 There was not a city that made peace 
with the children of is'ra-el, save the HI'vites 
the inhabitants of Gib'e-on : all other they took 
in battle. 

20 For it was of the 'Lord to harden their 
hearts, that they should come against Is'ra-el 
in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, 
and that they might have no favour, but that 
he might destroy them, as the "Lord command- 
ed Mo'ses. 

21 If And at that time came 2 Josh'u-a, and 
cut off the An'a-klm§ from themountains, from 
Hebron, from De'bir, from A'nab, and from 
all the mountains of Ju'dah, and from all the 
mountains of is'ra-el: J6sh'u-a destroyed them 
utterly with their cities. 

22 There was none of the An'a-kimsj left in 
the land of the children of is'ra-el: only in 
Gaza, in Gath, and in Ash'dod, there remained. 

23 So 2 J6sh'u-a took the whole land, accord- 
ing to all that the 'Lord said unto Mo'se§; 
and J6sh'u-a gave it for an inheritance unto 
is'ra-el according to their divisions by their 
tribes. And the land rested from war.

3. Vs. 7-24 detail the list of the 
31 kings on the west side of Jordan, 
which Joshua smote. As the land 
here mentioned was only 15 miles one 
way and about 50 the other, it is evi- 
dent that the 31 cities mentioned 
were the capitals of very insignifi- 
cant kingdoms. 



CHAPTER 12. 
1 The two kings whose countries Moses took 
and disposed of. 7 The one and thirty 
kings on the other side Jordan which Joshua 
smote. 

1 Now these are the kings of the land, which 
the children of is'ra-el smote, and possessed 
their land on the other side Jor'dan toward 
the rising of the sun, "from the river Ar'non 
6 unto mount Her'mon, and all the plain on the 
east: 

2 Si'hon king of the Am'or-ites, who dwelt 
in Hesh'bon, and ruled from Ar'6-er, which is 
upon the bank of the river Ar'non, and from 
the middle of the river, and from half Gil'e-ad, 
even unto the river Jab'bok, which is the bor- 
der of the children of Am'mon; 

3 And from the plain to the sea of Chln'- 
ne-roth on the east, and unto the sea of the 
plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way 
to Beth-jesh'I-moth; and from the south, under 
Ash'doth-pls/gah : 

4 If And the coast of 6g king of Ba'shan, 
which was of the remnant of the giants, that 
dwelt at Ash'ta-roth and at Ed're-I, 

5 And reigned in mount Her'mon, and in 
Sal'cah, and in all Ba'shan, unto the border of 
the Gesh'u-rltes and the Ma-ach'a-thltes, and 
half Gil'e-ad, the border of Si'hon king of 
Hesh'bon. 

6 Them did Mo'§e§ the servant of the 'Lord 
and the children of is'ra-el smite: and Mo'§e§ 
the servant of the Lord gave it for a posses- 
sion unto the Reu'ben-Ites, and the Gad'Ites, 
and the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh. 

7 1f 3 And these are the kings of the country 
which 2 Josh'u-a and the children of is'ra-el 
smote on this side Jor'dan on the west, from 
Ba'al-gad in the valley of Leb'a-non even unto 
the mount Ha'lak, that goeth up to Se'ir; 
which J6sh'u-a gave unto the tribes of Is'ra-el 
for a possession according to their divisions; 

8 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and 
in the plains, and in the springs, and in the 
wilderness, and in the south country; the Hit'- 
tites, the Am'or-ites, and the Ca'naan-ites, the 
Per'Iz-zItes, the HI'vites, and the Jeb'u-sltes: 

9 If The king of Jer'I-cho, one; the king of 
A'l, which is beside Beth'-el, one; 

10 The king of Je-ru'sa-lem, one; the king 
of He'bron, one; 

11 The king of Jar'muth, one; the king of

out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the 
Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. (Ex. 34:11.) 

e. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest ob-

manded thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that 
thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7.)

a. And Israel smote' him with the edge of the sword, and possessed 
his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for 
the border of the children of Ammon was strong. (Num. 21:24.) 

b. And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the 
Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon 
unto mount Hermon (which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion and the 
Amorites call it Shenir). (Dt. 3:8, 9.)

1 The bounds of the land not yet conquered. 
15 The bounds of the inheritance of Reuben. 
22 Balaam slain. 24 The bounds of the in- 
heritance of Gad, 29 and of the half tribe 
of Manasseh. 

1 Now ^Josh'u-a was old and stricken in 
years; and the 2 Lord said unto him, Thou art 
old and stricken in years, and there remaineth 
yet very much land to be possessed. ■ 

2 This a is the land that yet remaineth: all 
the borders of the Phi-lis'tmes, and all Gesh'- 
u-ri, 

3 From Si'hor, which is before Egypt, even 
unto the borders of Ek'rSn northward, which 
is counted to the Canaan-ite: five lords of the 
Phi-lis'tines; the Ga'zath-ites, and the Ash'- 
doth-ites, the Esh'ka-15n-ites, the Git'tltes, and 
the Ek'ron-ites; also the A'vites: 

4 From the south, all the land of the Ca'- 
naan-ites, and the Me-a 'rah that is beside the 
Si-do'ni-ans, unto A'phek, to the borders of 
the Am'or-ites: 

5 And the land of the Gib'lites, and all 
Leb'a-non, toward the sunrising, from Ba'al- 
gad under mount Her'mon unto the entering 
into Ha/math. 

6 All the inhabitants of the hill country 
from Leb'a-non unto Mis're-photh-ma'im, and 
all the Si-do'ni-ans, them will I drive out from 
before the children of Is'ra-el: only divide thou 
it by 3 lot unto the Is'ra-el-ites for an inherit- 
ance, as I have commanded thee. 

7 4 Now therefore divide this land for an 
inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half 
tribe of Ma-nas'seh, 

8 With whom the Reu'ben-ites and the Gad'- 
ites have received their inheritance, which 
Moses *gave them, teyond Jor'dan eastward, 
even as Moses the servant of the Lord gave 
them; 

9 From Ar'o-er, that is upon the bank of 
the river Ar'nSn, and the city that is in the 
midst of the river, and all the plain of Med'- 
e-ba unto Di'bon; 

10 And all the cities of Si'hon king of the 
Am'or-ites, which reigned in Hesh'bon, unto 
the border of the children of Am'mon; 

11 And Gil'e-ad, and the border of the Gesh'- 
u-rites and Ma-ach'a-thites, and all mount 
Her'mon, and all Ba'shanunto Sal'cah; 

12 All the kingdom of Og in Ba'shan, which 
reigned in Ash'ta-r5th and in Ed're-i, who re- 
mained of the remnant of the giants: for 
these did Mo'ses smite, and cast them out. 

13 Nevertheless the children of Is'ra-el ex- 
pelled not the Gesh'u-rites, nor the Ma-ach'- 
a-thites: but the Gesh'u-rites and the Ma-ach'- 
a-thites dwell among the Is'ra-el-ites until 
this day. 

14 Only unto the tribe of Le'vi he gave 
none inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord 
God of Is'ra-el made by fire are their inherit- 
ance, as he said unto them.

16 And their coast was from Ar'6-er, that 
is on the bank of the river Ar'non, and the 
city that is in the midst of the river, and all 
the plain by Med'e-ba; 

17 Hesh'bon, and all her cities that are in 
the plain; Di'bon, and Ba'mSth-ba'al, and 
Beth-ba'al-me'on, 

18 And Ja-ha'za, and Ked'e-moth, and 
Meph'a-ath, 

19 And Kir-jath-a'im, and Sib'mah, and 
Za'reth-sha'har in the mount of the valley, 

20 And Beth-pe'or, and Ash'doth-pis/gah, 
and Beth-jesh'i-moth, 

21 And all the cities of the plain, and all 
the kingdom of Si'hon king of the Am'or-ites, 
which reigned in Hesh-bon, whom Mo'§es smote 
with the princes of Mid'i-an, E'vi, and Re'- 
kem, and Zur, and Hur, and Re'ba, which 
were dukes of Si'hon, dwelling in the country. 

22 r Balaam also the son of Be'or, the 
soothsayer, did the children of Is'ra-el slay 
with the sword among them that were slain 
by them. 

23 And the border of the children of Reu'- 
ben was Jor'dan, and the border thereof. This 
was the inheritance of the children of Reu'ben 
after their families, the cities and the villages 
thereof. 

24 6 And Mo'§es gave inheritance unto the 
tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad 
according to their families. 

25 And their coast was Ja'zer, and all the 
cities of Gil'e-ad, ""and half the land of the 
children of Am'mon, unto Ar'6-er that is be- 
fore Rab'bah; 

26 And from Hesh'bon unto Ra'math-miz'- 
peh, and Bet'6-nim; and from Ma-ha-na'im 
unto the border of De'bir; 

27 And in the valley, Beth-a'ram, and 
Beth-nim'rah, and Suc'coth, and Z 5 .'phon, the 
rest of the kingdom of Si'hon king of Hesh'- 
bon, Jor'dan and his border, even unto the 
edge of the sea of Chin'ne-reth on the other 
side Jor'dan eastward. 

28 This is the inheritance of the children of 
Gad after their families, the cities, and their 
villages. 

29 If T And Mo'ses gave inheritance unto the 
half tribe of Ma-nas'seh: and this was the 
possession of the half tribe of the children of 
Ma-nas'seh by their families. 

30 And their coast was from Ma-ha-na'im, 
all Ba'shan, all the kingdom of Og king of 
Ba'shan, and all the towns of Ja'ir, which are 
in Ba'shan, threescore cities: 

31 And half Gil'e-ad, and Ash'ta-roth, and 
Ed're-i, cities of the kingdom of Og in Ba'- 
shan, were pertaining: unto the children of 
Ma'chir the son of Ma-nas'seh, even to the 
one half of the children of Ma'chir by their 
families. 

32 These are the countries which Mo'ses did 
distribute for inheritance in the plains of 
Mo'ab, on the other side Jor'dan, by Jer'i-cho, 
eastward. 

33 But unto the tribe of Le'vi M5'§es gave 
not any inheritance: the d Lord God of Is'ra-el 
was their inheritance, as he said unto them. 



c. Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexa- 
tion, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the 
land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her bv the 
way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the natrons. (Is. 9:1.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. The Lord thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will 
destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them; 
and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath said. (Dt. 
31:3.) 

b. And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad. and 
to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the 
son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the 
kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the 
coast, even the cities of the country round about. (Num. 32:33.) 



c. And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Am- 
nion, distress them not nor meddle with them; for I will not give thee 
of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have 
given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. (Dt. 2:19.) And the 
king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jeph- 
thah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of 
Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan; now therefore 
restore those lands again peaceably. (Jud. 11:13.)

CHAPTER 14. 
1 The nine tribes and a half are to have their 
inheritance by lot. 6 Caleb by privilege ob- 
taineth Hebron. 

1 And these are the countries which the 
children of Is'ra-el inherited in the land of 
Canaan, which E-le-a'zar the priest, and Josh'- 
u-a the son of Nun, and the heads of the 
fathers of the tribes of the children of is'ra-el, 
distributed for inheritance to them. 

2 By lot "was their inheritance, as the 'Lord 
commanded by the hand of Mo'§e§, for the 
nine tribes, and for the half tribe. 

3 For Mo'§es had given the inheritance of 
two tribes and an half tribe on the other side 
Jor'dan: but unto the Le'vites he gave none 
inheritance among them. 

4 For the children of Joseph were two 
tribes, Ma-nas'seh and E'phra-Im: therefore 
they gave no part unto the Le'vites in the 
land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs 
for their cattle and for their substance. 

5 As the 'Lord commanded Mo'§es, so the 
children of Is'ra-el did, and they divided the 
land. 

6 K "Then the children of Ju'dah came unto 
J6sh'u-a in Gil'gal: and Ca'leb the son of Je- 
phun'neh the Ken'ez-Ite said unto him, Thou 
knowest 6 the thing that the Lord said unto 
M6'§e§ the man of God concerning me and thee 
in Ka'desh-bar'ne-a. 

7 Forty years old was I when M6'§es. the 
servant of the 'Lord sent me from Ka'desh- 
bar'ne-a to espy out the land; and I brought 
him word again as it was in mine heart. 

8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up 
with me made the heart of the people melt: 
but C I wholly followed the ^ord my God. 

9 And Mo'§e§ sware on that day, saying, 
Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden 
shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's 
for ever, because thou hast wholly followed 
the Lord my God. , 

10 And now, behold, the 'Lord hath kept me 
alive, as he said, these forty and five years, 
even since the 'Lord spake this word unto 
Mo'§es, while the children of Is'ra-el wan- 
dered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this 
day fourscore and five years old. 

11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was 
in the day that Mo'§e§ sent me: as my 
strength was then, even so is my strength now, 
for war, both to go out, and to come in. 

12 Now therefore give me this mountain, 
whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou 
heardest in that day how the An'a-kims were 
there, and that the cities were great and 
fenced: if so be the ^ord will be d with me, 
then I shall be able to drive them out, as the 
'Lord said. 

13 And 3 Josh'u-a blessed him, and gave 
unto Ca'leb the son of Je-phun'neh Hebron 
for an inheritance. 

14 He'bron therefore became the inheritance 
of Ca'leb the son of Je-phun'neh the Ken'ez- 
Ite unto this day, because that he wholly fol- 
lowed the Lord God of Is'ra-el. 

15 And the name of He'bron- before was 
Kir'jath-ar'ba; which Ar'ba was a great man 
among the An'a-kim§. And the land had rest 
from war.

to the division of the land west of 
Jordan (i. e., Canaan proper) to the 
nine and a half tribes. It should 
here be observed that in everything 
pertaining to civil government Joshua 
was the acknowledged, chief, but in 
matters settled by lot appeal was al-

Eleazar, as high priest, is named be-

CHAPTER 15. 
1 The borders of the lot of Judah. 13 Caleb's 
portion and conquest. 16 Othniel hath 
Achsah, Caleb's daughter, to wife. 21 The 
cities of Judah. 63 The Jebusites not con- 
quered. 

1 This then was the lot of the tribe of the 
children of Ju'dah by their families; even to 
the border of E'dom the wilderness of Zin 
southward was the uttermost part of the south 
coast. 

2 And their south border was from the 
shore of the 'salt sea, from the bay that look- 
eth southward : 

3 And it went out to the south side to Ma- 
al'eh-a-crab'bim, and passed along to Zin, and 
ascended up on the south side unto Ka'desh- 
bar'ne-a, and passed along to Hez'ron, and 
went up to A'dar, and fetched a compass to 
Kar'ka-a : 

4 From thence it passed toward Az'mon, 
and went out unto the river of E'gypt; and 
the goings out of that coast were at the sea: 
this shall be your south coast. 

5 And the east border was the salt sea, 
even unto the end of Jor'dan. And their 
border in the north quarter was from the bay 
of the sea to the uttermost part of Jor'dan: 

6 And the border went up to Beth-hog'la, 
and passed along by the north of Beth-ar'a- 
bah; and the border went up to the stone of 
Bo'han the son of Reu'ben: 

7 And the border went up toward De'bir 
from "the valley of A'chor, and so northward, 
looking toward Gil'gal, that is before the going 
up to A-dum'mim, which is on the south side 
of the river: and the border passed toward the 
waters of En-she'mesh, and the goings out 
thereof were at En-ro'gel: 

8 And the border went up by the valley of 
the & son of HIn'nom unto the south side of 
the Jeb'u-slte; the same is Je-ru'sa-lem: and 
the border went up to the top of the mountain 
that lieth before the valley of Hin'nom west- 
ward, which is at the end of the valley of the 
giants northward: 

9 And the border was drawn from the top 
of the hill unto the fountain of the water of 
Neph'to-ah, and went out to the cities of mount 
E'phron; and the border was drawn to Ba'al- 
ah, which is Kir'jath-je'a-rim: 

10 And the border compassed from Ba'al-ah 
westward unto mount Se'ir, and passed along 
unto the side of mount Je'a-rim, which is 
Ches'a-lon, on the north side, and went down 
to Beth-she'mesh, and passed on to Tim'nah : 

11 And the border went out unto the side of 
Ek'ron northward: and the border was drawn 
to Shi'cron, and passed along to mount Ba'al- 
ah, and went out unto Jab'ne-el; and the go- 
ings out of the border were at the sea. 

12 And the west border was c to the great 
sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast 
of the children of Ju'dah round about accord- 
ing to their families. 

13 IT And unto Ca'leb the son of Je-phun'- 
neh he gave a part among the children of 
Ju'dah, according to the commandment of the 
2 Lord to Josh'u-a, even the city of Ar'ba the 
father of A'nak, which city is He'bron. 

14 And Ca'leb drove thence the three sons 



Chapter 14. 

a. And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among 
your families; and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, 
and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance; every man's in- 
heritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the 
tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. (Num. 33:54.) 

b. But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, 
and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he 
went; and his seed shall possess it. (Num. 14:24.) Save Caleb the 
son of Jephunneh; he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that 
he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly fol- 

' lowed the Lord. (Dt. 1:36.) 

c. But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, 
and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto 
he went: and his seed shall possess it. (Num. 14:24.) 

d. What shall we then say to these things? if God be for us, who 
can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 



Chapter 15. 

a. And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. 
So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the 
name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day. 
(Josh. 7:25.) 

b. And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of 
Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass 
through the fire to Molech. (II Ks. 23:10.) And go forth unto the 
valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, 
and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee (2). Therefore, be- 
hold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be 
called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of 
slaughter. (Jer. 19:2, 6.) 

c. And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea 
for a border; this shall be your west border. (Num. 34:6.)

15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants 
of De'bir: and the name of De'bir before 
was Kir'jath-se'pher. 

16 II And Ca'leb said, He that smiteth Kir'- 
jath-se'pher, and taketh it, to him will I give 
Ach'sah my daughter to wife. 

17 And Oth'ni-el the son of Ke'naz, the 
brother of Ca'leb, took it: and he gave him 
Ach'sah his daughter to wife. 

18 And it came to pass, as she came unto 
him, that she moved him to ask of her father 
a field: and <?she lighted off her ass; and Ca'- 
leb said unto her, What wouldest thou? 

19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for 
thou hast given me a south land; give me also 
springs of water. And he gave her the upper 
springs, and the nether springs. 

20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of 
the children of Ju'dah according to their fam- 
ilies.

the children of Ju'dah toward the coast of

1 The general borders of the sons of Joseph. 
5 The border of the inheritance of Ephraim. 
10 The Canaanites not conquered. 

1 \A.nd the lot of the children of Jd'seph fell 
from Jor'dan by Jer'i-cho, unto the water of 
Jer'i-cho on the east, to the wilderness that 
goeth up from Jer'i-cho throughout mount 
Beth'-el, 

2 And goeth out from Beth'-el to "Luz, and 
passeth along unto the borders of Ar'chi to 
At'a-roth, 

3 And goeth down westward to the coast of 
Japh-le'ti, unto the coast of Beth-ho'ron the 
nether, and to Ge'zer: and the goings out 
thereof are at the sea. 

4 So the children of Joseph, Ma-nas'seh 
and E'phra-im, took their inheritance. 

5 H 2 And the border of the children of 
E'phra-im according to their families was 
thus: even the border of their inheritance on 
the east side was At'a-r5th-ad'dar, unto Beth- 
h5'ron the upper; 

6 And the border went out toward the sea 
to Mich'me-thah on the north side, and the 
border went about eastward unto Ta'a-nath- 
shi'15h, and passed by it on the east to Ja- 
no'hah; 

7 And it went down from Ja-no'hah to At'- 
a-roth, and to Na'a-rath, and came to Jer'i- 
cho, and went out at Jor'dan. 

8 The border went out from Tap'pu-ah west- 
ward unto the river Ka'nah; and the goings 
out thereof were at the sea. This is the in- 
heritance of the tribe of the children of 
E'phra-im by their families. 

9 And the separate cities for the children of 
E'phra-im were among the inheritance of the 
children of Ma-nas'seh, all the cities with their 
villages. 

10 And they 6 drave 'not out the Ca'naan-ites 
that dwelt in Ge'zer: but the Ca'naan-ites 
dwell among the E'phra-im-ites unto this day, 
and serve under tribute.

d. And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the 
ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

Chapter 16. 

a. And the border went over from thence toward Luz to the side 
of Luz, which is Bethel southward; and the border descended to Ataroth- 
adar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Beth- 
horon. (Josh. 18:13.) And the man went into the land of the Hittites, 



and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz; which is the name 
thereof unto this day. (Jud. 1:26.) 

b. Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in 
Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. (Jud. 1:29.) 
For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer, and burnt 
it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given 
it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife. (I Ks. 0:16.)

1 The lot of Manasseh. 7 His coast. 12 The 
Canaanites not driven out. 14 The children 
of Joseph obtain another lot. 

1 There Hvas also a lot for the tribe of Ma- 
nas'seh; for he was the "firstborn of J6'§eph; 
to wit, for Ma'chir the firstborn of Ma-nas'seh, 
the father of Gil'e-ad: because he was a man 
of war, therefore he had Gil'e-ad and Ba'shan. 

2 There was also a lot for the rest of the 
children of Ma-nas'seh by their families; for 
the children of A-bi-e'zer, and for the children 
of He'lek, and for the children of As'ri-el, and 
for the children of She'chem, and for the chil- 
dren of He'pher, and for the children of She- 
ml'da: these were the male children of Ma- 
nas'seh the son of J5'§eph by their families. 

3 H But Ze-16'phe-had, the son of He'pher, 
the son of Gil'e-ad, the son of Ma'chir, the son 
of Ma-nas'seh, had no sons, but daughters: 
and these are the names of his daughters, 
Mah'lah, and No'ah, Hog'lah, Mil'cah, and 
Tir'zah. 

4 And they came near before E-le-a/zar the 
priest, and before Josh'u-a the son of Nun, 
and before the princes, saying, *The 2 Lord com- 
manded M6'§e§ to give us an inheritance 
among our brethren. Therefore according to 
the commandment of the 'Lord he gave them 
an inheritance among the brethren of their 
father. 

5 And there fell ten portions to Ma-nas'seh, 
beside the land of Gil'e-ad and Ba'shan, which 
were on the other side Jor'dan; 

6 Because the daughters of Ma-nas'seh had 
an inheritance among his sons: and the rest 
of Ma-nas'seh's sons had the land of Gil'e-ad. 

7 11 And the coast of Ma-nas'seh was from 
Ash'er to Mich'me-thah, that lieth before She'- 
chem; and the border went along on the right 
hand unto the inhabitants of En-tap'pu-ah. 

8 Now Ma-nas'seh had the land of Tap'- 
pu-ah: but Tap'pu-ah on the border of Ma- 
nas'seh belonged to the children of E'phra-im; 

9 And the coast descended unto the river 
Ka'nah, southward of the river: these cities 
of E'phra-im are among the cities of Ma-nas'- 
seh: the coast of Ma-nas'seh also was on the 
north side of the river, and the outgoings of 
it were at the sea: 

10 Southward it was E'phra-im's, and north- 
ward it was Ma-nas'seh's, and the sea is his 
border; and they met together in Ash'er on 
the north, and in Is'sa-char on the east. 

11 And Ma-nas'seh had in is'sa-char and in 
Ash'er Beth-she'an and her towns, and Ib'- 
le-am and her towns, and the inhabitants of 
Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of 
En'-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of 
Ta'a-nach and her towns, and the inhabitants 
of Me-gid'do and her towns, even three coun- 
tries. 

12 Yet the children of c Ma-nas'seh could 
not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; 
but the Ca'naan-ites would dwell in that land.

Ca'naan-ites to tribute; but did not utterly

14 3 And the children of Jo'seph spake unto 
4 Josh'u-a, saying, Why hast thou given me but 
one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am 
% great people, forasmuch as the 2 Lord hath 
blessed me hitherto? 

15 And 4 Josh'u-a answered them, If thou be 
a great people, then get thee up to the wood 
country, and cut down for thyself there in the 
land of the Per'iz-zites and of the giants, if 
mount E'phra-im be too narrow for thee. 

16 And the children of Jo'§eph said, The hill 
is not enough for us: and all the Ca'naan-ites 
that dwell in the land of the valley have char- 
iots of iron, both they who are of Beth-she'an 
and her towns, and they who are of the valley 
of Jez're-el. 

17 And 4 J5sh'u-a spake unto the house of 
J5'§eph, even to E'phra-im and to Ma-nas'seh, 
saying, Thou art a great people, and hast 
great power: thou shalt not have one lot only: 

18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it 
is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the 
outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt 
drive out the Ca'naan-ites, though they have 
iron chariots, and though they be strong.

2 "And there remained among the children 
of is'ra-el seven tribes, which had not yet re- 
ceived their inheritance. 

3 And 2 Josh'u-a said unto the children of 
Is'ra-el, s How long are ye slack to go to pos- 
sess the land, which the 3 Lord God of your 
fathers hath given you? 

4 Give out from among you three men for 
each tribe: and I will send them, and they 
shall rise, and go through the land, and de- 
scribe it according to the inheritance of them; 
and they shall come again to me. 

5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: 
Ju'dah shall abide in their coast on the south, 
and the house of J6'§eph shall abide in their 
coasts on the north. 

6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into 
seven parts, and bring the description hither 
to me, that I may cast lots for you here be- 
fore the Lord our God. 

7 But the Le'vites have no part among you; 
for the priesthood of the 3 Lord is c their in- 
heritance: and Gad, and Reu'ben, and half 
the tribe of Ma-nas'seh, have received their 
inheritance beyond Jor'dan on the east, which 
Mo'§e§ the servant of the 3 Lord gave them. 

8 11 And the men arose, and went away: and 
2 Josh'u-a charged them that went to describe 



Chapter 17. 

a. And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: for 
God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's 
house. (Gen. 41:51.) And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my 
father; for this is the first-born; put thy right hand upon his head. 
(Gen. 48:18.) 

b. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, The daughters of Zelo- 
phehad speak right; thou shalt surely give them a possession of an 
inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the 
inheritance of their father to pass unto them. (Num. 27:6, 7.) 

c. Neither d'd Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean 
and her towns, ror Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor 
and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the 
inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell 
in that land. And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they 
put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out. (Jud. 
1:27, 28.) 

d. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it; 
he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his 
younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become 
a multitude of nations. (Gen. 48:19.) 



Chapter 18. 

a. Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto 
Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the 
heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel. And they 
spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord 
commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the 
suburbs thereof for our cattle. (Josh. 21:1, 2.) But go ye now unto my 
place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first and see 
what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. (Jer. 7:12.) 

b. Arise, that we may go up against them; for we have seen the 
land, and behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to 
go, and to enter to possess the land. (Jud. 18:9.1 

c. And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance 
in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them; I am 
thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. (Num 
18:20.) Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; 
the Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised 
him. (Dt. 10:9.) And it shall be unto them for an inheritance; I am 
their inheritance; ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their 
possession. (Ezek. 44:28.)

the land, saying, Go and walk through the 
land, and describe it, and come again to me, 
that I may here cast lots for you before the 
Lord in Shi'loh. 

9 And the men went and passed through 
the land, and described it by cities into seven 
parts in a book, and came again to ~J6sh'u-a 
to the host at Shi'15h. 

10 r And \Tosh'u-a cast lots for them in 
Shi'loh before the 3 Lord: and there J6sh'u-a 
divided the land unto the children of Is'ra-el 
according to their divisions. 

11 *i 5 And the lot of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Ben'ja-min came up according to their 
families: and the coast of their lot came forth 
between the children of Ju'dah and the chil- 
dren of Joseph. 

12 And their border on the north side was 
from Jor'dan; and the border went up to the 
side of Jer'i-ch5 on the north side, and went 
up through the mountains westward; and the 
goings out thereof were at the wilderness of 
Beth-a'ven. 

13 And the border went over from thence 
toward Luz, to the side of Luz, d which is 
Beth'-el, southward; and the border descended 
to At'a-roth-a'dar, near the hill that lieth on 
the south side of the nether Beth-hd'ron. 

14 And the border was drawn thence, and 
compassed the corner of the sea southward, 
from the hill that lieth before Beth-ho'ron 
southward; and the goings out thereof were 
at Kir'jath-ba'al, which is Kir'jath-je'a-rim, 
a city of the children of Ju'dah: this was the 
west quarter. 

15 And the south quarter was from the end 
of Kir'jath-je'a-rim, and the border went out 
on the west, and went out to the well of waters 
of Neph'to-ah: 

16 And the border came down to the end of 
the mountain that lieth before the valley of 
the son of Hin'nom, and which is in the valley 
of the giants on the north, and descended tc 
the valley of Hin'nom, to the side of Je-bu'si 
on the south, and descended to En-ro'gel, 

17 And was drawn from the north, and went 
forth to En-she'mesh, and went forth toward 
Gel'i-lSth, which is over against the going up 
of A-dum'mim, and descended to the stone of 
Bo'han the son of Reu/ben, 

18 And passed along toward the side over 
against Ar'a-bah northward, and went down 
unto Ar'a-bah : 

19 And the border passed along to the side 
of Beth-hog'lah northward: and the outgoings 
of the border were at the north bay of the salt 
sea at the south end of Jor'dan: this was the 
south coast. 

20 And Jor'dan was the border of it on the 
east side. This was the inheritance of the 
children of Ben'ja-min, by the coasts thereof 
round about, according to their families. 

21 Now the cities of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Ben'ja-min according to their families 
were Jerl-chS, and Beth-hog'lah, and the val- 
ley of Ke'ziz, 

22 And Beth-ar'a-bah, and Zem-a-ra'im, and 
Beth'-el, 

23 And A'vim, and Pa'rah, and Oph'rah, 

24 And Che'phar-ha-am'mo-nai, and Oph'ni, 
and GaTja; twelve cities with their villages: 

25 Gib'e-on, and Ra'mah, and Be-e'roth, 

26 And Miz'peh, and Che-phi'rah, and Mo'- 
zah, 

27 And Re'kem, and Ir'pe-el, and Tar'a-lah, 

28 And Ze'lah^ Eleph, and Je-bu'si, which 
is Je-ru'sa-lem, Gib'e-ath, and Kir'jath; four-

Benjamin's lot. B. 's portion lay to 
the south of Joseph's, so the descend- 
ants of Rachel were adjoining each 
other. B.'s lot included the site of 
the sacred edifice on Mt. Horiah, 
which constitutes a fulfillment of the 
prophecy in Dt. 38:12 — "And of 
Benjamin he said, The beloved of the 
Lord shall dwell in safety by him; 
and the Lord shall cover him all the 
day long and he shall dweU between 
his shoulders." 



Ch. 19. B. C. 1444. 



1. Vs.' 1-9 describe Simeon's lot 
as taken out of the original lot of 
Judah. Thus fulfilling the prophecy 
of Jacob in Gen. 49:7 — "Cursed be 
their anger for it was fierce; and 
their wrath for it was cruel, i will 
divide them in Jacob and scatter 
them in Israel." 



Vs. 10-16 detail the lot of Zeb- 



ulun. 



3. Vs. 17-23 detail the lot of Is- 
sachar. Their portion was bounded 
on the north by Zebulun. on the east 
by the Jordan, on the south and west 
by Manasseh. It embraced a large 
portion of the plain of Esdraelon. 
In order to secure this desirable land 
the children of Issachar had humbly 
b >wed themselves to the service of 
the Canaanites. They almost as- 
sumed a slavish servitude to them, 
thus strikingly fulfilling the prophecy 
of dying Jacob in Gen. 49:14. 15 — "Is- 
sachar is a -strong ass couching 
down between two burdens: And he 
saw that rest was good, and the land 
that it was pleasant: and bowed his 
shoulder to bear, and became a ser- 
vant unto tribute."

heritance of the children of Ben'ja-min '-'ac- 
cording to their families. 

CHAPTER 19. 
1 The lot of Simeon, 10 of Zebulun, 17 of 
Issachar, 24 of Asher, 32 of Naphtali, 
40 of Dan. 49 The children of Israel give 
an inheritance to Joshua. 

1 \And the second lot came forth to Sim'e-on, 
even for the tribe of the children of Sim'e-on 
according to their families: and their inherit- 
ance was "within the inheritance of the chil- 
dren of Ju'dah. 

2 And they had in their inheritance Be'er- 
she'ba, and She'ba, and Mol'a-dah, 

3 And Ha'zar-shu'al, and Ba'lah, and 
A'zem, 

4 And El'to-lad, and Be'thul, and Hor'mah,

teen cities and their villages: 

7 A'in, Rem'mon, and E'ther, and A'shan; 
four cities and their villages: 

8 And all the villages that were round about 
these cities to Ba'al-ath-be'er, Ra'math of the 
south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of 
the children of Sim'e-on according to their 
families. 

9 Out of the portion of the children of Ju'- 
dah "was the inheritance of the children of 
Sim'e-on: for the part of the children of Ju'- 
dah was too much for them: therefore the 
children of Sim'e-on had their inheritance 
within the inheritance of them. 

10 *ii = And the third lot came up for the chil- 
dren of Zeb'u-lun according to their families: 
and the border of their inheritance was unto 
Sa'rid : 

11 And their border went up toward the 
sea, and Mar'a-lah, and reached to Dab'ba- 
sheth, and reached to the river that is before 
Jok'ne-am ; 

12 And turned from Sa'rid eastward toward 
the sunrising unto the border of Chis'loth-ta.'- 
bor, and then goeth out to Dab'e-rath, and 
goeth up to Ja-phi'a, 

13 And_ from thence passeth on along on the 
east to Git'tah-he'pher, to It'tah-ka'zin, and 
goeth out to Rem'mon-meth'o-ar to Ne'ah; 

14 And the border compasseth it on . the 
north side to Han'na-thon: and the outgoings 
thereof are in the valley of Jiph'thah-el : 

15 And Kat'tath, and Na-hal'lal, and Shim'- 
ron, and I-da'lah. and Beth'-le-hem: twelve 
cities with their villages. 

16 This is the ^inheritance of the children of 
Zeb'u-lun according to their families, these 
cities with their villages. 

17 H 3 And the fourth lot came out to Is'sa- 
char, for the children of Is'sa-char according 
to their families. 

18 And their border was toward Jez're-el, 
and Che-sul'loth, and Shu'nem, 

19 And Haph-ra'im, and ShiTion, and An-a- 
ha'rath, 

20 And RabT3ith, and Kish'i-on, and A'bez, 

21 And Re'meth, and En-gan'nim, and En- 
had'dah, and Beth-paz'zez; 

22 And the coast reacheth to TaTior, and 
Sha-haz'i-mah, and Beth-she'mesh ; and the 
outgoings of their border were at Jor'dan : six- 
teen cities with their villages. 

23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of 
the children of Is'sa-char according to their 
families, the cities and their villages. 



d. And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of 
that city was called Luz at the first. (Gen. 2S:19.) And the house of 
Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was 
Luz.) fJud. 1:23.)

24 If 4 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe 
of the children of Ash'er according to their 
families. 

25 And their border was Hel'kath, and 
Ha'li, and Be'ten, and Ach'shaph, 

26 And A-lam'me-lech, and A'mad, and Mi'- 
she-al; and reacheth to 5 Car'mel c westward, 
and to Shl'hor-lib'nath;

Beth-da'gon, and reacheth to Zeb'u-lun, and 
to the valley of Jiph'thah-el toward the north 
side of Beth-e'mek, and Ne'i-el, and goeth out 
to Ca'bul on the left hand, 

28 And He'bron, and Re'hob, and Ham'- 
m5n, and Ka'nah, even unto great Zi'don; 

29 And then the coast turneth to Ra'mah, 
and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast 
turneth to HS'sah; and the outgoings thereof 
are at the sea from the coast to Ach'zib: 

30 Um'mah also, and A'phek, and Re'hob: 
twenty and two cities with their villages. 

31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the 
children of Ash'er according to their families, 
these cities with their villages. 

32 H 6 The sixth lot came out to the children 
of Naph'ta-li even for the children of Naph'- 
ta-li according to their families. 

33 And their coast was from He'leph, from 
Al'lon to Za'a-nan'nim, and Ad'a-mT, Ne'keb, 
and Jab'ne-el, unto La'kum; and the outgo- 
ings thereof were at Jor'dan: 

34 And then the coast turneth westward to 
Az'noth-ta'bor, and goeth out from thence to 
Huk'kok, and reacheth to Zeb'u-lun on the 
south side, and reacheth to Ash'er on the west 
side, and to Ju'dah upon Jor'dan toward the 
sunrising. 

35 And the fenced cities are Zid'dim, Zer, 
and Ham'math, Rak'kath, and Chin'ne-reth, 

36 And Ad'a-mah, and Ra'mah, and Ha'zor, 

37 And Ke'desh, and Ed're-i, and En-ha'zor, 

38 And I'ron, an,d Mig'dal-el, Ho'rem, and 
Beth-a'nath, and Beth-she'mesh ; nineteen cit- 
ies with their villages. 

39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the 
children of Naph'ta-li according to their fami- 
lies, the cities and their villages. 

40 f 7 And the seventh lot came out for the 
tribe of the children of Dan according to their 
families. 

41 And the coast of their inheritance was 
Zo'rah, and Esh'ta-61, and Ir-she'mesh, 

42 And Sha-al-ab'bin, and Aj'a-lon, and

rim'mon, 

46 And Me-jar'kon, and Rak'kon, with the 
border before Ja'pho. 

47 And the d coast of the children of Dan 
went out too little for them: therefore the 
children of Dan went up to fight against Le'- 
shem, and took it and e smote it with the edge 
of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt there-

south of Mt. Carmel, to Zidon on the 
north, and to Zibulun and Naphtah 
on the east, and included the rich 
plain of Phoenicia, fulfilling the 
prophecy of Jacob (Gen. 49:20) — 
"His bread shall be fat and he shall 
yield royal dainties," and of Moses 
in Dt. 35:24, 25 — "He shall dip his 
foot in oil, his shoes shall be iron 
and brass." The great plain of 
Phoenicia was rich in corn, wine and 
oil and contained many manufacto- 
ries and skilled workmen in iron and 
brass.

tains some 1,500 feet high; is de- 
scribed by all travelers as being one 
of the most beautiful districts ex-

of Naphtali's portion, which was 
bounded on the east by the Sea of 
Galilee and the Jordan, on the west 
and north by Asher and south by Zeb- 
ulun. The richness of Naphtali's por- 
tion is pointed out in the song of 
Moses where he speaks of him in 
Dt. 33:23 — "Satisfied with the favor, 
and full with the blessing of the 
Lord, possessing the west and the 
south." 



7. Vs. 40-4S detail the portion of 
Dan, which was the seventh lot se-

jamin, partially surrounded by Judah 
and Ephraim. Its boundaries are not 
stated, being easily located as -they 
were.

Ch. 20. B. C. 1444. 

NOTE. — Chs. 20, 21 are devoted to 
the naming of the cities of refuge 
and the Levitical cities. Among all 
classes of people there is an inherent 
sense of justice which impels men to 
seek the punishment of evil-doers. 
Among uncultivated people immediate 
punishment is always inflicted, there- 
fore the cities of refuge were set 
apart for the purpose of affording 
the homicide protection from the ven- 
geance of an irate people and to 
grant the suspected a just trial. Vs. 
1-6 record the Lord's command to 
Joshua regarding cities of refuge.

in, and called Le'shem, Dan, after the name of 
Dan their father. 

48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the 
children of Dan according to their families, 
these cities with their villages. 

49 f s When they had made an end of di- 
viding the land for inheritance by their coasts, 
the children of Is'ra-el gave an inheritance to 
J6sh'u-a the son of Nun among them: 

50 'According to the word of the Lord they 
gave him the city which he asked, even Tim'- 
nath-se'rah in mount E'phra'im: and he built 
the city, and dwelt therein. 

51 These are the inheritances, which E-le- 
a'zar the priest, and J6sh'u-a the son of Nun, 
and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of 
the children of Is'ra-el, divided for an inherit- 
ance by lot in Shi'loh before the Lord, at the 
door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So 
they made an end of dividing the country. 

CHAPTER 20. 

1 God commandeth, 7 and the children of Is- 
rael appoint the six cities of refuge. 

1 The J Lord also spake unto 2 J6sh'u-a, say- 
ing, 

2 Speak to the children of Is'ra-el, saying, 
Appoint out for you a cities of refuge, whereof 
I spake unto you by the hand of M5'§es: 

3 That the slayer that killeth any person 
unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: 
and they shall be your refuge from the 
avenger of blood. 

4 And when he that doth flee unto one of 
those cities shall stand at the entering of the 
gate of the city, and shall declare his cause 
in the ears of the elders of that city, they 
shall take him into the city unto them, and 
give him a place, that he may dwell among 
them. 

5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after 
him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up 
into his hand; because he smote his neighbour 
unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. 

6 And he shall dwell in that city, 6 until he 
stand before the congregation for judgment, 
and until the death of the high priest that 
shall be in those days: then shall the slayer 
return, and come unto his own city, and unto 
his own house, unto the city from whence he 
fled. 

7 If 3 And 4 they appointed Ke^desh in Gal'i-lee 
in mount Naph'ta-li, and She'chem in mount 
E'phra'im, and Kir'jath-ar'ba, which is He'- 
bron, in the mountain of Ju'dah. 

8 And on the other side Jor'dan by Jer'i-cho 
eastward, they assigned Be'zer in the wilder- 
ness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reu'- 
ben, and Ra'moth in Gil'e-ad out of the tribe 
of Gad, and Go'lan in Ba'shan out of the tribe 
of Ma-nas'seh. 

9 These c were the cities appointed for all 
the children of Is'ra-el, and for the stranger 
that sojourneth among them, that whosoever 
killeth any person at unawares might flee 
thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger 
of blood, until he stood before the congrega- 
tion. 



c. Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount 
Carmel and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the 
prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. 
(I Ks. 18:19.) As I live, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of 
hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the 
sea, so shall he come. (Jer. 46:18.) 

d. In those days there was no king in Israel, and in those days the 
tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto 
that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the 
tribes of Israel. (Jud. 18:1.) 

e. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that 
biteth the horse heels so that his rider shall fall backward. (Gen. 
49:17.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his 
hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee. (Ex. 21:13.) 
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the 



slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares (11). Ye 
shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye 
give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge. (Num. 
35:11, 14.) Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy 
land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it (2). If thou 
shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee 
this day, to love the Lord thy God and to walk ever in his ways; then 
shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three. (Dt. 
19:2, 9.) 

b. And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand 
of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the 
city of refuge, whither he has fled: and he shall abide in it unto the 
death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. (Num. 
35:25.) 

c. These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel 
and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them; that every 
one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither. (Num. 35:15.)

CHAPTER 21. 

1 Eight and forty cities given by lot, out of 
the other tribes, unto the Levites. 43 God- 
gave the land, and rest unto the Israelites. 

1 Then came near the heads of the fathers 
of the Le'vites unto E-le-a'zar the priest, and 
unto J6sh'u-a the son of Nun, and unto the 
heads of the fathers of the tribes of the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el; 

2 And they spake unto them at Shi'loh "in 
the land of Ca'naan, saying, The 'Lord ''com- 
manded by the hand of Mo'§e§ to give us cities 
to dwell in, with the 2 suburbs thereof for our 
cattle. 

3 And the children of Is'ra-el gave unto the 
Le'vites out of their inheritance, at the com- 
mandment of the Lord, these cities and their 
suburbs. 

4 And the lot came out for the families of 
the Ko'hath-ites: and the children of Aar'on 
the priest, which were of the Le'vites, had by 
lot out of the tribe of Ju'dah, and out of the 
tribe of Sim'e-on, and out of the tribe of Ben'- 
ja-min, thirteen cities. 

5 And the rest of the children of Ko'hath 
had by lot out of the families of the tribe of 
E'phra'im, and out of the tribe of Dan, and 
out of the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh, ten cities. 

6 And the children of Ger'shon had by lot 
out of the families of the tribe of Is'sa-char, 
and out of the tribe of Ash'er, and out of the 
tribe of Naph'ta-li, and out of the half tribe 
of Ma-nas'seh in Ba'shan, thirteen cities. 

7 The children of Me-ra'ri by their families 
had out of the tribe of Reu'ben, and out of 
the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zeb'- 
u-lun, twelve cities. 

8 And the "children of is'ra-el gave by lot 
unto the Le'vites these cities with their sub- 
urbs, d as the Lord commanded by the hand 
of Mo'se§. 

9 Tf 3 And they gave out of the tribe of the 
children of Ju'dah, and out of the tribe of the 
children of Sim'e-on, these cities which are 
here mentioned by name, 

10 Which the children of Aar'on, being of 
the families of the Ko'hath-ites, who were of 
the children of Le'vi, had: for their's was the 
first lot. 

11 And they gave them the city of Ar'ba the 
father of A'nak, which city is He'bron, in the 
hill country of Ju'dah, with the suburbs there- 
of round about it. 

12 But the fields of the city, and the vil- 
lages thereof, gave they to Ca'leb the son of 
Je-phun'neh for his possession. 

13 II Thus they gave to the children of 
Aar'on the priest He'bron with her suburbs, 
to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and 
Lib'nah with her suburbs, 

14 And Jat'tlr with her suburbs, and Esh- 
te-mo'a with her suburbs, 

15 And H5'16n with her suburbs, and De'- 
bir with her suburbs, 

16 And' A'in with her suburbs, and Jut'tah 
with her suburbs, and Beth-she'mesh with her 
suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes. 

17 And out of the tribe of Ben'ja-min, Gib'- 
e-on with her suburbs, Ge'ba with her suburbs, 

18 An'a-thoth with her suburbs, and Al'- 
mon with her suburbs; four cities. 

19 All the cities of the children of Aar'on, 
the priests, were thirteen cities with their sub- 
urbs.

Ko'hath, the Le'vites which remained of the 
children of KS'hath, even they had the cities 
of their lot out of the tribe of E'phra-im. 

21 For they gave_ them She'chem with her 
suburbs in mount E'phra-im, to be a city of 
refuge for the slayer; and Ge'zer with her 
suburbs, 

22 And Kib'za-im with her suburbs, and 
Beth-ho'ron with her suburbs; four cities. 

23 And out of- the tribe of Dan, El'te-keh 
with her suburbs, Gib'be-thon with her sub- 
urbs, 

24 Aij'a-lon with her suburbs, Gath-rim'- 
mon with her suburbs; four cities. 

25 And out of the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh, 
Ta'nach with her suburbs, and Gath-rim'mon 
with her suburbs; two cities. 

26 All the cities were ten with their sub- 
urbs for the families of the children of Ko'- 
hath that remained. 

27 H And unto the children of Ger'shon, of 
the families of the Le'vites, out of the other 
half tribe of Ma-nas'seh they gave Go'lan in 
Ba'shan with her suburbs, to be a city of ref- 
uge, for the slayer; and Be-esh'-te-rah with 
her suburbs; two cities. 

28 But out of the tribe of Is'sa-char, Kl'- 
shon with her suburbs, Dab'a-reh with her 
suburbs, 

29 Jar'muth with her suburbs, En-gan'nim 
with her suburbs; four cities. 

30 And out of the tribe of Ash'er, Ml'shal 
with her suburbs, Ab'don with her suburbs, 

31 Hel'kath with her suburbs, and Re'hob 
with her suburbs; four cities. 

32 And^outof the tribe of Naph'ta-li, Ke'- 
desh in Gal'i-lee with her suburbs, to be a city 
of refuge for the slayer; and Ham'moth-dor 
with her suburbs, and Kar'tan with her sub- 
urbs; three cities. 

33 All the cities of the Ger'shon-Ites ac- 
cording to their families were thirteen cities 
with their suburbs. 

34 11 And unto the families of the children 
of Me-ra'ri, the rest of the Le'vites, out of 
the tribe of Zeb'u-lun, Jok'ne-am with her 
suburbs, and Kar'tah with her suburbs, 

35 Dim'nah with her suburbs, Na'ha-lal 
with her suburbs; four cities. 

36 And out of the tribe of Reu'ben, Be'zer 
with her suburbs, and Ja-ha'zah with her sub- 
urbs, 

37 Ked'e-moth with her suburbs, and Meph'- 
a-ath with her suburbs; four cities. 

38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ra'moth in 
Gil'e-ad with her suburbs, to be a city of ref- 
uge for the slayer; and Ma-ha-na'im with her 
suburbs, 

39 Hesh'bon with her suburbs, Ja'zer with 
her suburbs; four cities in all. 

40 So all the cities for the children of Me- 
ra'ri by their families, which were remaining 
of the families of the Le'vites, were by their 
lot twelve cities. 

41 All p the cities of the Le'vites within the 
possession of the children of Is'ra-el were forty 
and eight cities with their suburbs. 

42 These cities were every one with their 
suburbs round about them: thus were all 
these cities.

the land which he sware to give unto their 
fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt 
therein.

44 And the 'Lord gave them rest round 
about, according to all that he sware unto 
their fathers: and there stood not a man of 
all their enemies before them; the 'Lord de- 
livered all their enemies into their hand. 

45 There ^failed not ought of any good 
thing which the 'Lord had spoken unto the 
house of Is'ra-el; all came to pass. 

CHAPTER 22. 
1 The two tribes and half with a blessing are 
sent home. 10 They build the altar of tes- 
timony in their journey. 11 The Israelites 
are offended thereat. 21 They give them 
good satisfaction. 

1 Then 'Josh'u-a called the Reu'ben-ites, 
and the Gad'Ites, and the half tribe of Ma- 
nas'seh, 

2 And said unto them, Ye have kept "all 
that Md';j;e§ the servant of the 2 Lord command- 
ed you, ''and have obeyed my voice in all that 
I commanded you: 

3 Ye have not left your brethren these many 
days unto this day, but have kept the charge 
of the commandment of the 2 Lord your God. 

4 And now the Lord your God hath given 
rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: 
therefore now return ye, and get you unto your 
tents, and unto the land of your possession, 
c which Mo'§es the servant of the 2 Lord gave 
you on the other side Jor'dan. 

5 But <*take diligent heed to do the com- 
mandment and the law, which Mo'§e§ the serv- 
ant of the Lord charged you, e to love the 
2 Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, 
and to keep his commandments, and to cleave 
unto him, and to serve him with all your heart 
and with all your soul. 

6 So J6sh'u-a ^blessed them, and sent them 
away: and they went unto their tents. 

7 If Now to the one half of the tribe of Ma- 
nas'seh M5'§e§ had given possession in Ba- 
shan : but unto the, other half thereof gave 
'Josh'u-a among their brethren on this side 
Jor'dan westward. And when Josh'u-a sent 
them away also unto their tents, then he 
blessed them, 

8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return 
with much riches unto your tents, and with 
very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, 
and with brass, and with iron, and with very 
much raiment: divide the spoil of your ene- 
mies with your brethren. 

9 If And the children of Reu'ben' and the 
children of Gad and the half tribe of Ma-nas'- 
seh returned, and departed from the children 
of Is^ra-el out of Shi'loh, which is in the land 
of Ca'naan, to go unto the country of Gil'e-ad, 
to the land of their possession, whereof they 
were possessed, according to the word of the 
2 Lord by the hand of Mo'§e§.

of Jor'dan, that are in the land of Ca'naan, 
the children of Reu'ben and the children of 
Gad and the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh built 
there an altar by Jor'dan, a great altar to see 
to. 

11 IT And the children of Is'ra-el heard say, 
Behold, the children of Reu'ben and the chil- 
dren of Gad and the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh 
have built an altar over against the land of 
Ca'naan, in the borders of Jor'dan, at the 
passage of the children of Is'ra-el. 

12 And when the children of Is'ra-el heard 
of it, the whole congregation of the children 
of Is'ra-el gathered themselves together at 
Shi'loh, to go up to war against them. 

13 And the children of Is'ra-el sent #unto 
the children of Reu'ben, and to the children of 
Gad, and to the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh, into 
the land of Gil'e-ad, Phin'e-has the son of 
E-le-a'zar the priest, 

14 And with him ten princes, of each chief 
house a prince throughout all the tribes of 
Is'ra-el; and each one was an head of the 
house of their fathers among the thousands 
of is'ra-el. 

15 II And they came unto the children of 
Reu'ben, and to the children of Gad, and to 
the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh, unto the land of 
Gil'e-ad, and they spake with them, saying, 

16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the 
2 Lord, What trespass is this that ye have 
committed against the God of Is'ra-el, to turn 
away this day from following the 2 Lord, in 
that ye have builded you an altar, ''that ye 
might rebel this day against the Lord? 

17 Is the iniquity of Pe'or too little for us, 
from which we are not cleansed until this day, 
although there was a plague in the congrega- 
tion of the Lord, 

18 But that ye must turn away this day 
from following the Lord? and it will be, seeing 
ye rebel to day against the 2 Lord, that to 
morrow he will be "wroth with the whole con- 
gregation of Is'ra-el. 

19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your 
possession be unclean, then pass ye over untb 
the land of the possession of the 2 Lord, where- 
in the Lord's tabernacle dwelleth, and take 
possession among us: but rebel not against 
the 2 Lord, nor rebel against us, in building you 
an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God. 

20 Did not 'A'chan the son of Ze'rah com- 
mit a trespass in the accursed thing, and 
wrath fell on all the congregation of Is'ra-el? 
and that man perished not alone in his in- 
iquity. 

21 If Then the ■'children of Reu'ben and the 
children of Gad and the half tribe of Ma- 
nas'seh answered, and said unto the heads of 
the thousands of Is'ra-el, 

22 The 2 Lord God of gods i the 2 Lord .God 
of gods, he 7c knoweth, and Is'ra-el he shall 



f. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people 
which are in Egypt and have heard their cry by reason of their task- 
masters; for I know their sorrow; And I am come down to deliver them 
out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that 
land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and 
honey. (Ex. 3:7, 8.) Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto 
his people Israel, according to all that he promised; there hath not 
failed one word of all his good promise which he promised by the 
hand of Moses his servant. (I Ks. 8:56.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it; ye 
shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all 
that are meet for the war. (Dt. 3:18.) 

b. See ch. 1:16, 17. 

c. And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to 
the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of 
Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom 
of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coast, 
even the cities of the country round about. (Num. 32:33.) 

d. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be 
in thine heart (6). Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the 
Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath 
commanded thee. (Dt. 6:6, 17.) Thou hast commanded us to keep thy 
precepts diligently. (Ps. 119:4.) Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; 
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. (Rom. 13:10.) Now the end 
of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good con- 
science, and of faith unfeigned. (I Tim. 1:5.) 

e. And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but 
to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, 



and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy 
soul. (Dt. 10:12.) For this is the love of God that we keep his com- 
mandments; and his commandments are not grievous. (I Jno. 5:3.) 

f. And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offer- 
ings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord 
of hosts. (II Sam. 6:18.) And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and 
he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. (Lu. 24:50.) 

g. Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; 
and, behold, If it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination 
is wrought among you. (Dt. 13:14.) 

h. Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in 
every place that thou seest: But in the place which the Lord shall 
choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, 
and there thou shalt do all that I command thee. (Dt. 12:13, 14.) For 
rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity 
and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he 
hath also rejected thee from being king. (I Sam. 15:23.) 

i. But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed 
thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah. 
of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing; and the anger of 
the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel (1). And the men of 
Ai smote of them about thirty and six men. (Josh. 7:1, 5.) 

j. A soft answer turneth away wrath; but grievous words stir up 
anger. (Prov. 15:1.) He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, 
it is folly and shame unto him. (Prov. 18:13.) 

k. Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and 
do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou 
knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children 
of men). (I Ks. 8:39.) But he knoweth the way that I take: when he

know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgres- 
sion against the Lord, (save us not this day.) 

23 That we have built us an altar to turn 
from following the 2 Lord, or if to offer thereon 
burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer 
peace offerings thereon, let the 2 Lord himself 
require it; 

24 And if we have not rather done it for 
fear of this thing, saying, In time to come 
your children might speak unto our children, 
saving. What have ve to do with the T^ord 
God of Is'ra-el? 

25 For the TLord hath made Jor'dan a bor- 
der between us and you, ye children of Reu'- 
ben and children of Gad; ye have no part in 
the Lord: so shall your children make our 
children cease from fearing the "Lord. 

26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare 
to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, 
nor for sacrifice: 

27 But that it may be J a witness between 
us, and you, and our generations after us, 
that we might "'do the service of the ^Lord 
before him with our 4 bumt offerings, and with 
our sacrifices, and with our peace ^offerings; 
that your children may not say to our children 
in time to come, Ye have no part in the 2 Lord. 

28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when 
they should so say to us or to our generations 
in time to come, that we may say again, Be- 
hold the pattern of the altar of the "Lord. 
which our fathers made, not for burnt offer- 
ings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness 
between us and you. 

29 God forbid that we should rebel against 
the "Lord, and turn this day from following 
the Lord, to build an altar for burnt offerings, 
for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the 
altar of the Lord our God, that is before his 
tabernacle. 

30 *~ And when Phin'e-has the priest, and 
the princes of the congregation and heads of 
the thousands of Is'ra-el "which were with him, 
heard the words that the children of Reuben 
and the children of Gad and the children of 
Ma-nas'seh spake, it pleased them. 

31 And Phin'e-has the son of E-le-a'zar the 
priest said unto the children of Reu'ben, and to 
the children of Gad, and to the children of 
Ma-nas'seh, This day we perceive that the 
2 Lord is "among us, because ye have not com- 
mitted this trespass against the "Lord: now 
ye have delivered the children of Ts'ra-el out 
of the hand of the s Lord. 

32 r And Phin'e-has the son of E-le-a'zar 
the priest, and the princes, returned from the 
children of Reu'ben. and from the children of 
Gad. out of the land of Gil'e-ad, unto the land 
of Canaan, to the children of Is'ra-el, and 
brought them word again.

threatening s. 

1 And it came to pass a ^ong time after 
that the 2 Lord a had given rest unto Is'ra-el 
from all their enemies round about, that "Josh- 
u-a waxed old and stricken in age. 

2 And J6sh'u-a called for all Is'ra-el, and 
for their elders, and for their heads, and for 
their judges, and for their officers, and said 
unto them, I am old and stricken in age: 

3 And ye have seen all that the "Lord your 
God hath done unto all these nations because 
of you; for the 2 Lord your God is he that hath 
fought for you. 

4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot 
these nations that remain, to be an inheritance 
for your tribes, from Jor'dan, with all the na- 
tions that I have cut off, even unto the great 
sea "westward. 

5 4 And the 2 Lord your God, he shall expel 
them from before you, and drive them from 
out of your sight; and ye shall possess their 
land, as the 2 Lord your God hath promised 
unto you. 

6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep 
and to do all that is written in the book of the 
law of Mo'ses, that ye & turn not aside there- 
from to the right hand or to the left; 

7 That ye f come not among these nations, 
these that remain among you; neither make 
^mention of the name of their gods, nor cause 
to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow 
yourselves unto them: 

8 But cleave unto the ^ord your God, as 
ye have done unto this day. 

9 For the ^ord hath driven out from be- 
fore you great nations and strong: but as for 
you, e no man hath been able to stand before 
you unto this day. 

10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: 
for the 'Lord your God, he it is that fighteth 
for you, as he hath promised you. 

11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, 
that ye love the 2 Lord your God. 

12 5 Else' if ye do in any wise go back, and 
cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even 
these that remain among you, and shall make 
marriages with them, and go in unto them, and 
they to you: 

13 Know for a certainty that the T^ord your 
God will no more drive out any of these na- 
tions from before you; Haut they shall be 
snares and traps unto you, and scourges in 



hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. (Job 23:10.) Shall not God 
search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart (Ps. 44:21.) 

Lord, thou hast searched me and known me. Thou knowest my 
down-sitting and mine up-rising, thou understandest my thought afar 
off. (Ps. 139:1, 2.) But thou. O Lord, knowest me, thou hast seen me 
and tried mine heart toward thee. (Jer. 12:3.) 

1. And Laban said. This heap is a witness between me and thee 
this dav. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed. (Gen. 31:48.) Then 
Samuel took a stone and £et it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the 
name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. (I 
Sam. 7:12.) 

m. Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall 
choose to cause his name to dwell there: thither shall ye bring all that 

1 command vou: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, 
and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which 
ve vow unto the Lord. And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, 

nd your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and 
vour maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates: foras- 
much as he hath no part nor inheritance with you {11 -12). Only thy 
hclv things which thou hast, and thy vows thou shalt take, and go 
unto the place which the Lord shall choose. (Dt. 12:11, 12, 26.) 

n. And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not 
abhor vou. And I will walk among vou and be your God. and ye shall 
be mv people. (Lev. 2^.:11. 12.) In those days it shall come to pass, that 
ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall 
take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying. We will go with 
you: for we have heard that God is with you. (Zech.. 8:23.) 

o And David said to all the congregation. Now bless the Lord 



your God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their 
fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and the 
king. (I Chr. 29:20.) Then took he' him up in his arms, and blessed 
God, and said. Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, ac- 
cording to thv word. (Luke 2:28, 29.) 
Chapter 23. 

a. And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that 
ye sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their 
enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their 
hand. (Josh 21:44.) 

b. Te shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath 
commanded vou: ve shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 
(Dt. 5:32.) 

c. Enter not Into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of 
evil men. (Prov. 4:14.) 

d. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: 
their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names 
into my lips. (Ps. 16:4.) How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children 
have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had 
fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled them- 
selves by troops in the harlots' houses. (Jer. 5:7.1 

e. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the 
days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will 
not fail thee nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) 

f. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives 
turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect 
with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. (I Ks.

your God hath given you. 

14 And, behold, this day ^1 am going the 
way of all the earth: and ye know in all your 
hearts and in all your souls, that not one 
thing hath failed of all the good things which 
the "Lord your God spake concerning you; all 
are come to pass unto you, and not one thing 
hath failed thereof.

as all good things are come upon you, which 
the 2 Lord your God promised you; so shall 
the "Lord bring upon you all 'evil things, until 
he have destroyed you from off this good land 
which the Lord your God hath given you.

of the 2 Lord your God, which he commanded 
you, and have gone and served other gods, and 
bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger 
of the : Lord be kindled against you, and ye 
shall perish quickly from off the good land 
which he hath given unto you.

14 He reneweth the covenant between them 
and God. 29 Joshua's age, death, and burial. 
32 Joseph's bones are buried. 33 Eleazar 
dieth. 

1 And Josh'u-a gathered all the tribes of Is'- 
ra-el to She'chem, and called for the elders of 
is'ra-el, and for their heads, and for their 
judges, and for their officers; and they "pre- 
sented themselves before God. 

2 3 And josh'u-a said unto all the people, 
Thus " saith the 2 Lord God of Is'ra-el, Your 
fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in 
old time, even Te'rah, the father of A^ra-ham, 
and the father of Na'chor: and they served 
other gods. 

3 And 6 I took your father AT)ra-ham from 
the other side of the flood, and led him through- 
out all the land of 'Ca'naan, and multiplied his 
seed, and gave him i'saac. 

4 And I gave unto ^'gaac 5 Ja'cob and 6 E'sau : 
and I gave unto E'sau mount Se'ir, to possess 
it; but Ja'cob and his children went down into 
E'gypt. 

5 C I sent 7 Mo'§e§ also and Aar'on, and d I 
plagued E'gypt, according to that which I did 
among them : and afterward I brought you out. 

6 And I brought your fathers out of E'gypt: 
and ye came unto the sea; and the e E-gyp'- 
tians pursued after your fathers with chariots 
and horsemen unto the Red sea. 

7 And when they cried unto the 2 Lord, he 
put darkness between you and the E-gyp'tians, 
and brought the sea upon them, and covered

them; and your eyes have seen what I have 
done in E'gypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness 
a long season. 

8 And I brought you into the land of the 
Am'or-ites, which dwelt on the other side Jor'- 
dan; and they fought with you: and I gave 
them into your hand, that ye might possess 
their land; and I destroyed them from before 
you. 

.9 Then Ba'lak the son of Zip'por, king of 
Mo'ab, arose and warred against Is'ra-el, and 
sent and called Ba'laam the son of Be'or to 
curse you: 

10 But I ''would not hearken unto Ba'laam; 
therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered 
you out of his hand. 

11 And ye went over Jor'dan, and came unto 
Jer'i-cho: and the men of Jer'i-cho fought 
against you, the Am'or-ites, and the Per'iz- 
zites, and the Ca'naan-ites, and the Hit'tites, 
and the Gir'ga-shites, the Hi'vites, and the 
Jeb'u-sites; and I delivered them into your 
hand. 

12 And I sent the hornet before you, which 
drave them out from before you, even the two 
kings of the Am'or-ites; but not ^with thy 
sword, nor with thy bow. 

13 And I have given you a land for which 
ye did not labour, and cities which ye built 
not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards 
and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. 

14 If Now ''therefore fear the 2 Lord, and 
serve him in '"sincerity and in truth: and put 
away the gods which your fathers served on 
the other side of the flood, and in E'gypt; and 
serve ye the 2 Lord. 

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve 
the 2 Lord, choose you this day whom ye will 
serve; whether the gods which your fathers 
served that were on the other side of the flood, 
or the gods of the Am'or-ites, in whose land 
ye dwell : ->but as for me and my house, we 
will serve the Lord. 

16 And the people answered and said, God 
forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to 
serve other gods; 

17 For the 2 Lord our God, he it is that 
brought us up and our fathers out of the 
land of E'gypt, from the house of bondage, 
and which did those great signs in our sight, 
and preserved us in all the way wherein we 
went, and among all the people through whom 
we passed: 

18 And the 2 Lord drave out from before us 
all the people, even the Am'or-ites which dwelt 
in the land: therefore will we also serve the 
2 Lord; for he is our God. 

19 And Josh'u-a said unto the people, k Ye 
cannot serve the 2 Lord: for he is an holy God; 



g. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but 
having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced 
them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 
(Heb. 11:13.) 

h. And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over yon 
to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you 
to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from 
off the land whither thou goest to possess it. (Dt. 28:63.) 

i. I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, 
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and 
cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, and your 
enemies shall eat it. (Lev. 26:16.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you 
out of all your adversaries and your tribulations; and ye have said unto 
him. Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves 
before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands. (I Sam. 10:19.) 

b. And he said. Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of 
glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was In Mesopota- 
mia, before he dwelt in Charran. And said unto him, Get thee out of 
thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I 
shall show thee. (Acts 7:2, 3.) 

c. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou 
mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. (Ex. 
3:10.) 

d. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have 
hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show 
these my signs before him. (Ex. 10:1.) And the Lord spake unto Moses 
and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall he unto you 



the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. 
(Ex. 12:1, 2.) 

e. But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots 
of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them en- 
camping by the sea. (Ex. 14:9.) 

f. Nevertheless the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Balaam, 
but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, be- 
cause the Lord thy God loved thee. (Dt. 23:5.) 

g. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, 
neither did their own arm save thtm; but thy right hand and thine 
arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto 
them (3). For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save 
me. (Ps. 44:3, 6.) 

h. And now Israel what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, hut 
to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and 
to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul? (Dt. 
10:12.) And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord 
hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all 
the people shouted and said, God save the king. (I Sam. 10:24.) 

i. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord ap- 
peared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk 
before me and he thou perfect. (Gen. 17:1.) Thou shalt be perfect 
with the Lord thy God. (Dt. 18:13.) Blessed are the undefiled in the 
way, who walk in the law of the Lord. (Ps. 119:1.) Grace be with all 
them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. (Eph. 6:24.) 

j. For I know him, that he will command his children and his 
household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do 
justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that 
which he hath spoken of him. (Gen. 18:19.) 

k. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the

he is a jealous God; ? he will not forgive your 
transgressions nor your sins. 

20 If ye forsake the "Lord, and serve strange 
gods, 'then he will turn and do you hurt, and 
consume you, after that he hath done you good. 

21 And the people said unto * Josh'u-a, Nay; 
but we will serve the "Lord. 

22 And Josh'u-a said unto the people, Ye 
are witnesses against yourselves that ye have 
chosen you the 2 Lord, to serve him. And they 
said, We are witnesses. 

23 Now therefore put away, said he, the 
strange gods which are among you, and incline 
your heart unto the Lord God of Is'ra-el. 

24 And the people said unto Josh'u-a, The 
"Lord our God will we serve, and his voice 
will we obey. 

25 s So : Josh'u-a '"made a covenant with the 
people that day, and set them a statute and an 
ordinance in She'chem. 

26 r , And Mosh'u-a wrote these words in the 
book of the law of God, and took a great 
stone, and set it up there under an oak, that 
was by the sanctuary of the "Lord. 

27 And Josh'u-a said unto all the people. 
Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; 
for it hath heard all the words of the Lord 



S. Vs. 25-2S, the great stone of 
witnesses. 



9. This is not a contradiction to 
Ex. 34:7, where Moses speaks of 
God "as forgiving iniquity and trans- 
gression and sin.'" While God is for- 
giving to the truly penitent, he will 
by no means fail to punish the in- 
corrigible sinner.

which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a 
witness unto you, lest ye deny our God. 

28 So "Josh'u-a let the people depart, every 
man unto his inheritance. 

29 f lu And it came to pass after these things, 
that Josh'u-a the son of Nun, the servant of 
the 2 Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years 
old. 

30 And they buried him in the border of his 
inheritance in Tim'nath-se'rah, which is in 
mount E'phra-im, on the north side of the hill 
of Ga'ash. 

31 And Is'ra-el "served the ^Lord all the 
days of MSsh'u-a, and all the days of the elders 
that overlived Josh'u-a, and which had known 
all the works of the ^ord, that he had done 
for is'ra-el. 

32 U And the bones of Jo'seph, which the 
children of Is'ra-el brought up out of E'gypt, 
buried they in She'chem, in a parcel of ground 
which Ja'cob bought of the sons of Ha'mor the 
father of She'chem for an hundred pieces of 
silver: and it became the inheritance of the 
children of Jo'seph. 

33 And E-le-a'zar the son of Aar'on died; 
and they buried him in a hill that pertained 
to PhinVhas his son, which was given him in 
mount E'phra-im. 



otiier. Te cannot serve God and mammon. (Mat. 6:2-5.) Xo servant 
can serve two masters: for either lie will hate the one, and love the 
other: or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Te can- 
not serve God and mammon. (Lu. 16:13.) 

1. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was 
turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. (Is. 63:10.) 



m. And Jehoiada m&de a covenant between the Lord and the king 
and the people, that they should be the Lord's people, between the 
king also and the people. (II Ks. 11:17.) 

n. And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all 
the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great 
works of the Lord that he did for Israel. (Jud. 2:7.) 



THE BOOK OF 

JUDGES 



XOTE. — Judges, the third in the list of historical books of the Old Testament, consists of two parts — the first contains the purpose of the book and 
its general treatment ichs. 1-16); the second part constitutes an appendix (ehs. 17-21). The purpose of the book is clearly manifested throughout its 
entire extent — and namely, to prove that the only way to happiness is to shun idolatry and obey the commandments or Jehovah. The author seeks to 
show the children of Israel that the many calamities which they had suffered since the death of Joshua were owing to their forsaking Jehovah and 
embracing idolatry, also- that when they repented and obeyed the commandments of Jehovah he delivered them fr: m their enemies and again made them 
To prosper. Thus the design of the author was not to write a correct and complete history of the children of Israel in the period between Joshua and 
the kings. If he had had such a purpose, lie would have described the condition of their domestic affairs, also the government in the several tribes, and the 
relations they sustained to one another, but on the contrary, he seems to shun all such subjects and to deal only with their relations to Jehovah, enlarging 
upon obedience and its benefits and disobedience and its retributions. 

The authorship of the first 16 ehs. had been assigned to Jcshua, Samuel, and Ezra, although it has not been proven just which one. if any of them, 
wrs the author. The first lfi ehs. must have been written about the time of Saul's or David's reign. The appendix is of a later date and not so easily 
located as the first part. The Book of Judges gives us a clear and vivid insight into the divine providence of history. The period covered by the book 
is commonly estimated at about 350 years. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The acts of Judah and Simeon. 8 Jerusalem 
taken. 10 Hebron taken. 11 Othniel hath 
Achsah to wife for taking of Debir. 17 Hor- 
tnah, Gaza, Askelon, and Ekron taken. 21 
The acts of Benjamin. 22 Of the house of 
Joseph, ivho take Beth-el. 30 Of Zebulun. 
31 Of Asher. 33 Of Naphtali. 34 Of Dan. 

1 Now after the death of J6sh'u-a it came 
to pass, that the children of Is'ra-el asked "the 
'Lord, saying, Who "'shall go up for us against 
the Ca'naan-ites first, to fight against them? 

2 And the "Lord said, "Ju'dah 6 shall go up: 
behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 

3 And Ju'dah said unto Sim'e-on his broth- 
er, Come up with me into my lot, that we may 
fight against the Ca'naan-ites; and I likewise 
will go with thee into thy lot. c So Sim'e-on 
went with him. 

4 4 And Ju'dah went up; and the 'Lord <*de- 
livered the Ca'naan-ites and the Per'iz-zites 
into their hand: and they slew of them in Be'- 
zek ten thousand men. 

5 And they found A-don'i-be'zek in Be'zek: 
and they fought against him, and they slew the 
Ca'naan-ites and the Per'iz-zites. 

6 But A-don'i-be'zek fled; and they pursued 
after him, and caught him, and cut off his 
thumbs and his great toes. 

7 And A-don'i-be'zek said, Threescore and 
ten kings, having their thumbs and their great 
toes cut off, gathered their meat under my 
table; as e I have done, so God hath requited 
me. And they brought him to Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and there he died. 

8 Now the children of Ju'dah had fought 
against Je-ru'sa-lem, and had taken it, and 
smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set 
the city on fire. 

9 1TAnd afterward the children of Ju'dah 
went down to fight against the Ca'naan-ites, 
that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, 
and in the valley. 

10 And Ju'dah went against the Ca'naan- 
ites that dwelt in He'bron: (now the name of

He'bron before was Kir'jath-ar-ba:) and they 
slew She'shai, and A-hi'man, and Tal'mai. 

11 And from thence he went against the in- 
habitants of De'bir: and the name of De'bir 
before was Kir'jath-se'pher: 

12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kir'- 
jath-se'pher, and taketh it, to him will I give 
Ach'sah my daughter to wife. 

13 And Oth'ni-el the son of Ke'naz, Caleb's 
-younger brother, took it: and he gave him 
Ach'sah his daughter to wife. 

14 And it came to pass, when she came to 
him, that she moved him to ask of her father 
a field; and she lighted from off her ass; and 
Ca'leb said unto her, What wilt thou? 

15 And she said unto him, Give me a bless- 
ing: for thou hast given me a south land; give 
me also springs of water. And Ca'leb gave her 
the upper springs and the nether springs. 

16 It And the ^children of the Ken'ite, Mo'- 
§es' father in law, went up out of the city of 
palm trees with the children of Ju'dah into the 
wilderness of Ju'dah, which lieth in the south 
of A'rad; and they went and dwelt among the 
people. 

17 And Ju'dah went with Sim'e-on his broth- 
er, and they slew the Ca'naan-ites that inhab- 
ited Ze'phath, and utterly destroyed it. And 
the name of the city was called 7i Hor'mah. 

18 Also Ju'dah took Gaza with the coast 
thereof, and AsTte-lon with the coast thereof, 
and Ek'ron with the coast thereof. 

19 And the 'Lord 'was with Ju'dah; and he 
drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; 
but could not drive out the inhabitants of the 
valley, because they had chariots of iron. 

20 And they %ave He'bron unto Ca'leb, as 
Mo'ses said: and he expelled thence the three 
sons of A'nak. 

21 And the children of Ben'ja-min did not 
drive out the Jeb'u-sites that inhabited Je-ru'- 
sa-lem; but the Jeb'u-sites dwell with the chil- 
dren of Ben'ja-min in Je-ru'sa-lem unto this

27:21.) And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of 
God, and asked counsel of God, and said. Which of us shall go up first 
to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah

he went; and his seed shall possess it. (Num. 14:24.) And Moses sware 
on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden 
shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast 
wholly followed the Lord my God (9). And Joshua blessed him, and 
gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance

went up against Beth '-el: and the "Lord 'was 
with them. 

23 And the house of Jo'seph sent to descry 
Beth'-el. (Now the name of the city before 
was Luz.) 

24 And the spies saw a man come forth out 
of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, 
we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and 
we will shew thee mercy. 

25 And when he shewed them the entrance 
into the city, they smote the city with the edge 
of the sword; but they let go the man and all 
his family. 

26 And the man went into the land of the 
Hit'tltes, and built a city, and called the name 
thereof Luz: wmch is the name thereof unto 
this day. 

27 IT 'Neither did Ma-nas'seh drive out the 
inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor 
Ta'a-nach and her towns, nor the inhabitants 
of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of 
ible-am and her towns, nor the inhabitants of 
Me-gid'do and her towns: but the Ca'naan-ites 
would dwell in that land. 

28 And it came to pass, when is'ra-el was 
strong, that they put the Ca'naan-ites to "trib- 
ute, and did not utterly drive them out. 

29 r Neither did E'phra-Im drive out the 
Ca'naan-ites that dwelt in Ge'zer; but the Ca'- 
naan-ites dwelt in Ge'zer among them. 

30 l 7 Neither did Zeb'u-lun drive out the in- 
habitants of Kit'ron, nor the inhabitants of 
Na'ha-lol; but the Ca'naan-ites dwelt among 
them, and became tributaries. 

31 r Neither did Ash'er drive out the in- 
habitants of Ac'cho, nor the inhabitants of 
Zi'don, nor of Ah lab, nor of Ach'zlb, nor of 
Hel'bah, nor of A'phlk, nor of Re'hob: 

32 But the Ash'er-Ites dwelt among the Ca'- 
naan-ites, the inhabitants of the land : for they 
did not drive them out. 

33 Ti Neither did Naph'ta-H drive out the in- 
habitants of Beth-she'mesh, nor the inhab- 
itants of Beth-a'nath; but he dwelt among the 
Ca'naan-ites, the inhabitants of the land : 
nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-she'mesh 
and of Beth-a'nath became tributaries unto 
them. 

34 And the Am'or-ites forced the children of 
Dan into the mountain : for they would not 
suffer them to come down to the valley: 

35 But the Am'or-ites would dwell in mount 
He'res in Aij'a-lon, and in Sha-al'bim: yet the 
hand of the house of Jo'seph prevailed, so 
that they became tributaries. 

36 And the coast of the Am'or-ites was from 
the going up to A-krab'bim, from the rock, and 
upward.

NOTE. — There is a deep and gen- 
eral spirit of discouragement possess- 
ing the Hebrews which inclines them 
to compromise with their unsubdued 
enemy, the result of which could 
have been nothing else than the turn- 
ing of the Israelites from Jehovah 
to paganism, as they were the com- 
promising ones; therefore the condi- 
tion proves the wisdom of the Divine 
command to exterminate the Canaan- 
ites. The present critical state of 
the nation calls for a renewal of this 
command, which is found in eh. 2.

1 And an a angel of the 'Lord came up from 
Gilgal to Bo'chim, and said, I made you to go 
up out of E'gypt, and have brought you unto 
the land which I sware unto your fathers; 6 and 
I said, I will never break my covenant with 
you. 

2 And ye shall make no league with the in- 
habitants of this land; ye shall throw down 
their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: 
why 2 have ye done this? 

3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive 
them out from before you; but they shall be 
as. thorns in your sides, and their gods shall 
be a snare unto you. 

4 And it came to pass, when the angel of 
the 'Lord spake these words unto all 'the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el, that the people lifted up their 
voice, and wept. 

5 And they called the name of that place 
4 Bo'chim: and they sacrificed there unto the 
'Lord. 

6 II ; And when Josh'u-a had let the people 
go, the children of Is'ra-el went every man 
unto his inheritance to possess the land. 

7 And the people ^served the 'Lord all the 
days of Josh'u-a, and all the days of the elders 
that outlived Josh'u-a, who had seen all the 
great works of the 'Lord, that he did for Is'- 
ra-el. 

8 And Josh'u-a the son of Nun, the servant 
of the 'Lord, died, being an hundred and ten 
years old. 

9 And they buried him in the border of his 
inheritance in Tim'nath-he'res, in the mount 
of E'phra-im, on the north side of the hill 
Ga'ash. 

10 And also all that generation were gath- 
ered unto their fathers: and there arose an- 
other generation after them, which ^knew not 
the 'Lord, nor yet the works which he had done 
for Is'ra-el. 

11 f And the children of is'ra-el did evil in 
the sight of the 'Lord, and served 6 Ba'al-im: 

12 And they forsook the 'Lord God of their 
fathers, which brought them out of the land of 
E'gypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of 
the people that were round about them, and 
bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the 
'Lord to p anger. 

13 And they forsook the Lord, and served 
Ba'al and Ash'ta-roth. 

14 r And the s anger e of the Lord was fhot 
against is'ra-el, and he delivered them into the 
hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he 
sold them into the hands of their enemies 
round about, so that they could not any longer 
stand before their enemies. 

15 "Whither soever they went out, the hand 
of the 'Lord was ^against them for evil, as the 
'Lord had said, and as the 'Lord had sworn 
unto them: and they were greatly distressed. 

16 % Nevertheless, the 'Lord raised up 
"'judges, which delivered them out of the hand 
of those that spoiled them. 

17 And vet they would not hearken unto 



Chapter 2. 

a. And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in 
the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. (Gen. 16:7.) Be-, 
hold' I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to 
bring thee into the place which I have prepared. (Ex. 23:20.) For he 
shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 
(Ps. 91:11.) And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a 
trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, 
from one end of heaven to the other. (Mat. 24:31.) 

b. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy 
seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be 
a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. (Gen. 17:7.) 

e. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt 
swear by his name. (Dt. 6:13.) And now Israel, what doth the Lord 
thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all 
his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy 
heart and with all thy soul. (Dt. 10:12.) But take diligent heed to do 
the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord 
charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, 
and t" keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve 
him with all yoUT heart, and with all your soul. (Josh. 22:5.) If ye do 
return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange 
gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the 
Lord, and serve him only. (I Sam. 7:3.) And if it seem evil unto you 



to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the 
gods which your fathers served, - that were on the other side of the 
flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for 
me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Josh. 24:15.) Yea, all kings 
shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. (Ps. 72:11.) 

d. And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice 
to 'let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. (Ex. 
5:2.) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and 
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ((II Thes. 1:8.) They 
profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abom- 
inable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. (Tit. 1:16.) 

e. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and 
moved him to jealousy with their graven images. (Ps. 78:58.) How 

I long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like 
| fire? (Ps. 79:5.) And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and 
I he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the 
children of Ammon. (Jud. 10:7.) 

f. And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, 
and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them 
out of his sight. (II Ks. 17:20.) 

g. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their 
enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they 
were accursed; neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy 
the accursed from among you. (Josh. 7:12.) And it shall come to pass.

their judges, but they went a "whoring ''after 
other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: 
they turned quickly out of the way which 
their fathers walked in, obeying the command- 
ments of the 'Lord; but they did not so. 

18 And when the 'Lord raised them up 
judges, then the 'Lord 'was with the judge, 
and delivered them out of the hand of their 
enemies all the days of the judge: for it ^re- 
pented -'the 'Lord because of their groanings 
by reason of them that oppressed them and 
vexed them. 

19 And it came to pass, when the judge was 
dead, that they returned, and corrupted them- 
selves more than their fathers, in following 
other gods to serve them, and to bow down' 
unto them; they ceased not from their own 
doings, nor from their stubborn way. 

20 IF And the anger c of the Lord was hot 
against Is'ra-el; and he said, Because that this 
people hath ''transgressed my covenant which 
I commanded their fathers, and have not heark- 
ened unto my voice; 

21 I also will not henceforth drive out any 
from before them of the nations which Josh'- 
u-a left when he died: 

22 That through them I may 'prove Ts'ra-el, 
whether they will keep the way of the 'Lord to 
walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or 
not. 

23 Therefore the 'Lord left those nations, 
without driving them out hastily; neither de- 
livered he them into the hands of Josh'u-a. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 The nations which were left to prove Israel. 
6 They commit idolatry. 8 Othniel deliver- 
eth them from Chushan-rishathaim. 12 Ehud 
from Eglon. 31 Shamgar from the Philis- 
tines. 

1 'Now these are the nations which the Lord 
left, "to prove is'ra-el by them, even as many 
of is'ra-el as had riot known all the wars of 
Ca'naan; 

2 Only that the generations of the children 
of is'ra-el might know, to teach 3 them war, at 
the least such as before knew nothing thereof; 

3 Namely, five lords of the Phi-lis'tine§, 
and all the Ca'naan-ites, and the Si-do'ni-ans, 
and the Hi'vites that dwelt in mount Leb'a- 
non, from mount Ba'al-her'mon unto the enter- 
ing in of Ha'math. 

4 And they were a to prove is'ra-el by them, 
to know whether they would hearken unto the 
6 commandments of the 4 Lord, which he com- 
manded their fathers by the hand of Mo'se§. 

5 II And the children of is'ra-el dwelt among 
the Ca'naan-ites, Hit'tltes, and Am'or-ites, and 
Per'iz-zites, and Hi'vltes, and Jeb'u-sites: 



11. A covenant with God is as sa- 
cred as the marriage tie; so to break 
that covenant is as the act of infidel- 
ity on the part of a wife. 

12. That is, grieved. This verse 
means "Jehovah was grieved by their 
wailings on account of their oppress- 
ors and persecutors." 

Ch. 3. B. C. 1406-1336. 

1. Vs. 1-6 give the list of the na- 
tions that Jehovah left to prove Is- 
rael. 

2. It was the purpose of Jehovah 
that the Canaanites should all be de- 
stroyed, that the Israelites might not 
be subjected to the blighting effects 
of idolatry in their midst, but the 
Hebrews themselves thwarted this 
purpose by refusing to obey the com- 
mands of Jehovah; therefore Jehovah 
controls the consequences of their 
disobedience, that as little evil and 
as much good as possible may be the 
result of their disobedience. In this 
instance their faithlessness was over- 
ruled to bring about the following 
results: First, trial and proof of Is- 
rael; second, prevention of wild 
beasts from overrunning the land; 
third, training the people in the art 
of war for protection against the 
foes in their midst. 

3. The nations left through dis- 
obedience are intended to teach Is- 
rael the art of war. 

4. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

5. Vs. 7-11 detail Chushan's op- 
pression and the deliverance by Oth- 
niel. With v. 7 also begins the prin- 
cipal part of the historical division 
of the book. 

6. A modification of the chief god, 
Baal. 

7. That part between the Euphra- 
tes and Tigris rivers, a plain about 
700 miles long and from 20 to 250 
miles wide. 

S. Every nation had had its na- 
tional saviour in the hour of need, 
when obedient to Jehovah. 

9. This expression occurs six 
times in the Book of Judges and 
means the Divine impulse that quick- 
ened the people of that age to feats 
of valor. 

10. The first judge of Israel and 
brother or nephew of Caleb. 

11. Vs. 12-20 detail the oppres- 
sion by Moab and the deliverance by 
Ehud. 

12. That is. encouraged with con- 
sciousness of ability. 

13. The territory east of the Dead 
Sea and south of the Arnou river. 

14. Eglon gathered unto himself. 

15. Son of Gera. a left-handed 
Benjaminite, who by bold exploit de- 
livered his people from Eglon, King 
of Moab. who had oppressed Israel 
for 18 years. 

16. The cubit here (the Hebrew 
"Gomed") means a span or a hand's- 
length, and occurs nowhere else in 
the scripture. 



6 And they took their daughters to be their 
wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, 
and served their gods. 

7 5 And the children of is'ra-el did evil in 
the sight of the 'Lord, and forgat the 'Lord 
their God, and served °Ba'al-im and c the 
groves. 

8 If Therefore the anger of the 'Lord was hot 
against is'ra-el, and he sold them into the 
hand of Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im king 7 of Mes-o- 
po-ta'mi-a: and the children of is'ra-el served 
Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im eight years. 

9 And when the children of Is'ra-el d cried 
unto the 'Lord, the Lord "raised up a deliverer 
to the children of Is'ra-el, who delivered them, 
even 6th'ni-el the son of Ke'naz, Ca'leb's 
younger brother. 

10 And the 9 Spirit e of the 'Lord came upon 
him, and he judged Is'ra-el, and went out to 
War: and the Lord delivered Chu'shan-rish-a- 
tha'im king of Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a into his hand; 
and his hand prevailed against Chu'shan-rish- 
a-tha'im. 

11 And the land had rest forty years. And 
10 Oth'ni-el the son of Ke'naz died. 

12 1[ "And the children of Is'ra-el did evil 
again in the sight of the 'Lord: and the Lord 
strengthened 12 Eg'16n the ^king of ' ! M5'ab 
against is'ra-el, because they had done evil in 
the sight of the Lord. 

13 And he "gathered unto him the children 
of Am'mon and Am'a-lek, and went and smote 
Is'ra-el, and possessed the city of palm trees. 

14 So the children of Is'ra-el served Eg'lon 
the king of Md'ab eighteen years. 

15 But when the children of Is'ra-el cried 
unto the 'Lord, the 'Lord raised them up a 
deliverer, 15 E'hud the son of Ge'ra, a Ben'ja- 
mite, a man lefthanded: and by him the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el sent a present unto Eg'lon the 
king of Mo'ab. 

16 But E'hud made him a dagger which had 
two edges, of a '"cubit length; and he did gird 
it under his raiment upon his right thigh. 

17 And he brought the present unto Eg'lon 
king of Mo'ab : and Eg'lon was a very fat man. 

18 And when he had made an end to offer 
the present, he sent away the people that bare 
the present. 

19 But he himself turned again from the 
quarries that were by Gil'gal, and said, I have 
a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, 
Keep silence. And all that stood by him went 
out from him. 

20 And 15 E'hud came unto him; and he was 
sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for 
himself alone. And E'hud said, I have a mes- 
sage from God unto thee. And he arose out 
of his seat. • 

21 And E'hud put forth his left hand, and 



if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to 
observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, 
that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the 
earth. (Dt. 28:1.) 

h. And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after 
whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto 
them throughout their generations. (Lev. 17:7.) 

i. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days 
of thy life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. I will not fail 
thee nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) 

j. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none 
shut up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, 
when he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) And the Lord repented of the 
evil which he thought to do unto his people. (Ex. 32:14.) And rend 
your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: 
for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, 
and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:13.) 

k. When ye have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, 
which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and 
bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the Lord be kindled 
against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which 
he hath given unto you. (Josh. 23:16.) 

1. See b, ch. 8, Dt. 

Chapter 3. 

a. And it came to pass after these things that God did tempt 
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said. Behold, here I 
am. (Gen. 22:1.) Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that 
prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, 
to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and 



with all your soul. (Dt. 13:3.) For there must be also heresies among 
you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. (I 
Cor. 11:19.) And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy 
God led ihee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to 
prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest 
keep his commandments, or no. (Dt. 8:2.) 

b. See c, ch. 27, Dt. 

c. But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut 
down their groves. (Ex. 34:13.) Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of 
any trees near unto the altar of the Lord thy God. (Dt. 16:21.) 

d. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have 
sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also 
served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) And they cried unto the Lord, and said, 
We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served 
Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our 
enemies; and we will serve thee. (I Sam. 12:10.) Therefore thou de- 
liveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in 
the time of their trouble when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them 
from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them 
saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. (Neh. 9:27.) 
They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they trusted in thee, and 
were not confounded. (Ps. 22:5.) Nevertheless he regarded their af- 
fliction, when he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) Then they cry unto 
the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 
(Ps. 107:19.) 

e. And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of 
Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him. (Num. 
27:18.) And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tid- 
ings, and his anger was kindled greatly. (I Sam. 11:6.) 

f. And when they forgat the Lord their God, he sold them into

took the dagger from his right thigh, and 
thrust it into his 17 belly: 

22 And the haft also went in after the 
blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so 
that he could not draw the dagger out of his 
belly; and the_ "'dirt came out. 

23 Then "E'hud went forth through the 
porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon 
him, and locked them. 

24 When he was gone out, his servants 
came; and when they saw that, behold, the 
doors of the parlour were locked, they said, 
Surely he covereth his feet in his summer 
chamber. 

25 And they tarried till they were ashamed : 
and, behold, he opened not the doors of the 
parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened 
them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down 
dead on the_earth. 

26 And "Ehud escaped while they tarried, 
and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped 
unto Se'i-rath. 

27 And it came to pass, when he was come, 
that ?he blew a trumpet in the ''mountain of 
E'phra-im, and the children of is'ra-el went 
down with him from the mount, and he before 
them. 

28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: 
for the 4 Lord ! 'hath delivered your enemies the 
M5'ab-ites into your hand. And they went 
down after him, and took the fords of Jor'dan 
toward Mo'ab, and suffered not a man to pass 
over. 

29 And they slew of Mo'ab at that time 
about ten thousand men, all "lusty, and all 
men of valour; and there escaped not a man. 

30 So M5'ab was subdued that day under 
the hand of Is'ra-el. And the land had rest 
fourscore years. 

31 r And after him was Sham'gar the son 
of A'nath, which slew of the Phi'lis'tines six 
hundred men with an ox goad: and he also 
delivered Is'ra-el.

1 Deborah and Barak deliver them from Jabin 

and Sisera. 18 Jael killeth Sisera. 

1 And the children of Is'ra-el again did evil 
in the sight of the 'Lord, when Elrud was 
dead. 

2 And the 'Lord sold them into the hand of 
Ja'bin king of Ca'naan, that reigned in Ha'- 
zor; the captain of whose host "was Sis'e-ra, 
which dwelt in Ha-ro'sheth of the Gen'tiles. 

3 And the children of Is'ra-el cried unto the 
'Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots of 
iron; and twenty years he ^mightily oppressed 
the children of Is'ra-el. 

4 If And "Deb'o-rah, c a prophetess, the wife 
of Lap'i-doth, she judged is'ra-el at that time. 

5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of 
2 Deb'o-rah between Ra'mah and Beth'-el in 
mount E'phra-im: and the children of Is'ra-el 
came up to her for judgment. 

6 And she sent and called Ba'rak the son of 



A-bin'6-am out of Ke'desh-naph'ta-li, and said 
unto him, Hath not the 'Lord God of Is'ra-el 
commanded, saying, Go and draw toward 
mount 3 Ta'bor, and take with thee ten thou- 
sand men of the children of Naph'ta-11 and of 
the children of Zeb'u-lun? 

7 And I Vill draw unto thee to the river 
Ki'shon Sis'e-ra, the captain of Jalbin's army, 
with his chariots and his multitude; and I 
will deliver him into thine hand. 

8 And Ba'rak said unto her, If thou wilt 
go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt 
not go with me, then I will not go. 

9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: 
notwithstanding the journey that thou takest 
shall not be for thine honour; for the 'Lord 
shall sell Sis'e-ra into the hand of a woman. 
And _ 2 Deb'o-rah arose, and went with Ba'rak 
to Ke'desh. 

10 *~ And_ Ba'rak called Zeb'u-lun and Naph'- 
ta-li to Ke'desh; and he went up with ten 
thousand men at his feet: and Deb'o-rah went 
up with him. 

11 Now HeTter the Ken'ite, which was of 
the^ children of Ho'bab the father in law of 
Mo'ses, had severed himself from the Ken'Ites, 
and pitched his tent unto the plain of Za-a- 
na'im, which is by Ke'desh. 

12 And they shewed Sis'e-ra that Ba'rak the 
son of A-bin'o-am was gone up to mount Ta'- 
bor. 

13 And Sis'e-ra gathered together all his 
chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, 
and all the people that were with him, from 
Ha-ro'sheth of the Gen'tiles unto the river of 
Ki'shon. 

14 And 2 Deb'o-rah said unto Ba'rak, Up; 
for this is the day in which the Lord hath 
delivered Sis'e-ra into thine hand: 5 is not the 
Lord gone out before thee? So Ba'rak went 
down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand 
men after him. 

15 And the 'Lord 'discomfited e Sis'e-ra, and 
all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge 
of the sword before Ba'rak; so that Sis'e-ra 
lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on 
his feet. 

16 But Ba'rak pursued after the chariots, 
and after the host, unto Ha-ro'sheth of the 
Gen'tiles : and all the host of Sis'e-ra fell upon 
the edge of the sword; and there was not a 
man left. 

17 Howbeit Sis'e-ra ffled away on his feet 
to the tent of Ja'el the wife of HeTier the 
Ken'ite: for there was peace between Ja'bin 
the king of Ha'zor andvthe house of Helper the 
Ken'ite. 

18 *~ And Ja'el went out to meet Sis'e-ra, 
and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in 
to me; fear not. And when he had turned in 
unto her into the tent, she covered him with 
a mantle. 

19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray 
thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. 



17. The kings. 



18. The English Translation* mak- 
ing "dirt"' the subject of the verb 
"came out,'' rather than the place 
from which a thing comes, is unfor- 
tunate. The word rendered "dirt" 
evidently means the place in Eglon's 
body where the sword came out or 
the apartment of the palace through 
which Ehud escaped. 



19. Fat men. Stout, robust men.

able triumph of the age of the 
Judges. 



1. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



2. One of the most remarkable 
characters of the Old Testament. 



3. One of the most romarkable

5. That is, confused and confound-

the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the 
Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought 
against them. (I Sam. 12:9.) 

g. But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a 
trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him. (Jud. 6:34.) And Jona- 
than smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba; and the 
Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the 
land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. (I Sam. 13:3.) 

h. And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, say- 
ing, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters 
unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered 
themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. 
(Jud. 7:24.) And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was 
Micah. (Jud. 17:1.) 

i. And all this assembly know that the Lord saveth not with 
sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you 
into our hands. (I Sam. 17:47.) For I will not trust in my bow, neither 
shall my sword save me. (Ps. 44:6.) Not by might, nor by power, but 
by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 4:6.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. See f, ch. 3. 

b. Do unto them as unto the Midianites: as to Sisera, as to Jabin, 
at the brook of Kison. (Ps. 83:9.) Their enemies also oppressed them, 
and they were brought into subjection unto their hand. (Ps. 106:42.) 



c. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to con- 
found the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the' world to 
confound the things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:27.) Out of the mouth 
of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine 
enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. (Ps. 8:2.) 

d. Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he 
which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy 
them, and he shall bring them down before thy face; so shalt thou 
drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto 
thee. (Dt. 9:3.) For ye shall not go out with haste nor go by flight: 
for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your 
rereward. (Is. 52:12.) 

e. And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with 
a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that 
goeth up to Bethhoron. (Josh. 10:10.) Yea, he sent out his arrows, and 
scattered them; and he shot out lightnings and discomfited them. (Ps. 
18:14.) 

f. He poureth contempt upon princes and weakeneth the strength 
of the mighty (21). He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people 
of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is 
no way. (Job 12:21, 24.) Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behoid 
every one that is proud, and abase him. Look on every one that is 
proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 
(Job 40:11, 12.)

And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave 
him drink, and covered him. 

20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the 
door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man 
doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is 
there any man here? that thou shalt say, No. 

21 Then Ja'el He'ber's wife took a °nail of 
the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and 
went softly unto him, and smote the nail into 
his temples, and fastened it into the ground: 
for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. 

22 And, behold, as Ba'rak pursued Sis'e-ra, 
Ja'el came out to meet him, and said unto him, 
Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou 
seekest. And when he came into her tent, be- 
hold, Sis'e-ra lay dead, and the nail was in his 
temples. 

23 So ?God subdued on that day Ja'bin the 
king of Ca'naan before the children of Is'ra-el. 

24 And the hand of the children of Is'ra-el 
'prospered, and prevailed against Ja'bin the 
king of Ca'naan, until they had destroyed Ja'- 
bin king of Ca'naan. 

CHAPTER 5. 
The song of Deborah and Barak. 

1 Then sang 'Deb'o-rah and Ba'rak the son 
of A-bm'6-am on that day, saying, 

2 Praise ye the 2 Lord for the avenging of 
Is'ra-el, when the people willingly offered 
themselves. 

3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, ye "princes; 
I, even T, will sing unto the : Lord; I will sing 
praise to the 2 Lord God of Is'ra-el. 

4 2 Lord, when thou wentest out of Se'ir, 
when thou marchedst out of the field of E'dom, 
"the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, 
the clouds also dropped water. 

5 The mountains melted from before the 
: Lord, even that Sinai from before the 2 Lord 
God of is'ra-el. 

6 In the days of Sham'gar the son of A'nath, 
in the days of ' 5 Ja'el, the highways were unoc- 
cupied, and the travellers walked through by- 
ways. 

7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, 
they ceased in Is'ra-el, until that I ^eb'o-rah 
arose, that I arose a mother in Is'ra-el. 

8 They 6 chose new gods; then was war in 
the gates: was there a shield or spear seen 
among forty thousand in Is'ra-el? 

9 My heart is toward the governors of Is'- 
ra-el, that offered themselves willingly among 
the people. Bless ye the 2 Lord. 

10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye 
that sit in judgment, and walk by the way. 

11 They that are delivered from the noise 
of archers in the places of drawing water, 
there shall they rehearse the righteous acts 
of the 2 Lord, even the righteous acts toward 
the inhabitants of his villages in Is'ra-el : then 
shall the people of the 2 Lord go down to the 
gates. 

12 Awake, awake, ^eb'o-rah : awake, awake, 
utter a song: arise, Ba'rak, and lead thy cap- 
tivity captive, thou son of A-bin'o-am. 

13 Then he made him that remaineth have 
dominion over the nobles among the people:

7. That is, went forward and was 
strong or successful against. 



Ch. 5. B. C. 1296. 

NOTE. — Ch. 5, commonly known 
as Deborah's song, is one of the 
greatest poems in Hebrew literature. 
It possesses force, beauty, grandeur 
and sublimity, metaphors, sudden 
and abrupt transitions, and here and 
there touches of sarcasm most ex- 
quisitely set. The following analysis 
of the poem shows the thought and 
purpose of the author: 

(1) Opening hymn to Jehovah, vs. 
2-5. 

(2) The emergency, vs. 6-8. 

(3) Triumphal chorus, vs. 9-12. 

(4) Assembling of the tribes to 
war. vs. 13-1S. 

(5) Picture of the battle, vs. 19-23. 

(6) Enemy ruined, vs. 24-31. 
Thus the poem is seen to readily 

divide itself into six parts. 



1. One of the most prominent fig- 
ures in the Old Testament. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. The kings and princes of Ca- 
naan and. as Keil suggests, the 
whole earth, arc here meant, as there 
were no kings in Israel at this time. 



That is, Deborah. 



5. Not the wife of Heber men- 
tioned in ch. 4. v. 17, but. by many 
scholars, supposed to be a judge who 
lived soon after the time of Sham- 
gar and of whom we have no other 
mention. 



the : Lord made me have dominion over the 
mighty. 

14 Out of E'phra-im was there a root of 
them against Am'a-lek; after thee, Ben'ja-min, 
among thy people; out of Ma'chir came down 
governors, and out of Zeb'u-lun they that 
handle the pen of the writer. 

15 And the princes of I§'sa-char were with 
Deb'o-rah; even Is'sa-char, and also Ba'rak: 
he was sent on foot into the valley. For the 
divisions of Reu'ben there were great thoughts 
of heart. 

16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, 
to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the 
divisions of Reu'ben there were great search- 
ings of heart. 

17 Gil'e-ad abode beyond Jor'dan: and why 
did Dan remain in ships? Ash'er continued on 
the sea shore, and abode in his breaches. 

18 Zeb'u-lun and Naph'ta-li were a people 
that jeoparded their lives unto the death in 
the high places of the field. 

19 The kings came and fought, then fought 
the kings of Ca'naan in Ta'a-nach by the 
waters of Me-gid'do; they took no gain of 
money. 

20 They fought from heaven; the stars in 
their courses fought against Sis'e-ra. 

21 The river of Ki'shon swept them away, 
that ancient river, the river Ki'shon. O my 
soul, thou hast trodden down strength. 

22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the 
means of the pransings, the pransings of their 
mighty ones. 

23 Curse ye Me'roz, said the c angel of the 
2 Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants there- 
of; because they came not to the help of the 
2 Lord, to the help of the d Lord against the 
mighty. 

24 Blessed above women shall Ja'el the wife 
of HeTser the Ken'Ite be, e blessed shall she be 
above women in the tent. 

25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; 
she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 

26 She put her hand to the nail, and her 
right hand to the workmen's hammer; and 
with the hammer she smote Sis'e-ra, she smote 
off his head, when she had pierced and stricken 
through his temples. 

27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay 
down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he 
bowed, there he fell down dead. 

28 The mother of Sis'e-ra looked out at a 
window, and cried through the lattice, Why is 
his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the 
wheels of his chariots? 

29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she 
returned answer to herself, 

30 Have fthey not sped? have they not di- 
vided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; 
to Sis'e-ra a prey of divers colours, a prey of 
divers colours of needlework, of divers colours 
of needlework on both sides, meet for the 
necks of them that take the spoil? 

31 So ^let all thine enemies perish, O 2 Lord: 
but let them that love him be as the sun when 
he goeth forth in his might. And the land had 
rest forty years. 



g. So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou sub- 
duedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and 
gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the 
land, that they might do with them as they would. (Neh. 9:24.) It is 
God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. (Ps. 18:47.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou 
earnest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. (Is. 64:3.) 
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved 
and shook, because he was wroth. (II Sam. 22:8.) 

b. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abomina- 
tions provoked they him to anger. (Dt. 32:16.) Ye shall not make with 
me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. (Ex. 
20:23.) Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: 
I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:4.) 

c. And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise and 
go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem 



unto Gaza, which is desert. (Acts 8:26.) And the angel of the Lord 
said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman, let her beware. 
(Jud. 13:13.) The angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him: 
be not afraid of him. (II Ks. 1:15.) 

d. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with 
sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's and he will give you into 
our hands. (I Sam. 17:47.) Not by might, nor by power, but by my 
spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 4:6.) 

e. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art 
highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 
(Luke 1:28.) 

f. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide 
the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, 
my hand shall destroy them. (Ex. 15:9.) 

g. So that a man shall say. Verily there is a reward for the right- 
eous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. (Ps. 58:11.) Do unto 
them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook 
of Kison. (Ps. 83:9.)

JUDGES 



B. C. 1256-1249 



CHAPTER 6. 
1 The Israelites for their sin are oppressed by 
Jlidian. 8 A prophet rebuketh them. 11 An 
angel sendeth Gideon for their deliverance. 
17 Gideon's present is consumed with fire. 
25 Gideon destroy eth Baal's altar, and of- 
fereth a sacrifice upon the altar Jehovah- 
shalom. 28 Joash defendeth his son, and 
calleth him Jerubbaal. 33 Gideon's army. 
36 Gideon's signs. 

1 And the children of Is'ra-el did c evil in 
the sight of the : Lord: and the "Lord delivered 
them into the hand of Mid i-an seven years. 

2 And the hand of Midl-an prevailed 
against Is'ra-el: and because of the Midi-an- 
Ites the children of Is'ra-el made them the 
dens which are in the mountains, and caves, 
and strong holds. 

3 And so it was, when Is'ra-el had sown, 
that the Alid'i-an-ites came up, and the : Am'a- 
lek-ites, and the ^children of the east, even 
they came up against them; 

4 And they encamped against them, and de- 
stroyed the increase of the earth, till thou 
come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for 
Is'ra-el, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. 

5 For they came up with their cattle and 
their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for 
multitude; for both they and their camels 
were without number: and they entered into 
the land to destroy it. 

6 And Is'ra-el was greatly impoverished be- 
cause of the Mid'i-an-ites ; and the children of 
Is'ra-el cried unto the ^ord. 

7 *~ And it came to pass, when the children 
of Is'ra-el cried unto the ^Lord because of the 
Mld'i-an-Ites, 

8 That the J Lord sent a prophet unto the 
children of Is'ra-el, which said unto them, 
Thus saith the *Lord God of Is'ra-el, I brought 
you up from E'gypt, and brought you forth 
out of the house of bondage; 

9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the 
E-gyp'tians, and out of the hand of all that 
oppressed you, and I drave them out from be- 
fore you, and gave you their iand; 

10 And I said unto you, I am the ^Lord your 
God; 6 fear not the gods of the Am'or-ites, in 
whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed' 
my voice. 

11 r 'And there came an 5 angel c of the 
1 Lord, and sat under an oak which was in 
Oph'rah, that pertaine_d unto Jo'ash the A'bi- 
ez'rite: and his son 6 Gid'e-on threshed wheat 
by the winepress, to hide it from the Afid'i-an- 
ltes. 

12 And the c angel of the a Lord appeared 
unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with 
thee, thou mighty 7 man of valour. 



Ch. 6. B. C. 1256-1249. 

:N"OTE. — V. 1 opens with the state- 
ment of the sins of Israel and their 
punishment at that time. Though, 
alter many long and oppressive 
years of servitude and sorrow, they 
would repent and God would de- 
liver them again, yet they would 
not profit by their hitter experiences, 
but would again and again do evil; 
thus through their own voluntary 
wickedness they forged around their 
necks, the yoke of bondage to other 
nations. 

1. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. . 

2. A nomadic race who had de- 
generated into a band of robbers. 

3. A general name indiscriminate- 
ly applied to the tribes dwelling in 
the deserts east of Palestine. 

4. Vs. li-24 detail the caU of 
Gi "..- a. 

5. Ihat is, a manifestation of Je- 
hovah himself, which is shown by 
vs. 14-16. 22. 23. 

6. Gideon, son of Joash of the 
tribe of Manasseth. He was sur- 
named Jerubbaal the fifth judge in 
Israel. For seven years the Israel- 
ites had been subjected to the most 
oppressive tyranny they had experi- 
enced since leaving Egypt. Jehovah 
now calls to their deliverer, namely, 
Gideon. He was thrashing his corn 
in a secluded place for fear of the 
ilidianites when an angel of the Lord 
appeared to him and said. '"The Lord 
is with thee, thou mighty man of 
valor."' However the sin of the peo- 
ple was so great that Gideon was 
doubtful of Jehovah's being with 
them further, and again he received 
the startling message of v. 14. He 
then plead the circumstances of his 
family, but was answered. "Surely 
I will be with thee." Gideon then 
demurred no more hut urged his heav- 
enly visitor to come and eat with 
him. The angeL however, ate 
naught of what was set before him. 
but directed Gideon to lay it upon 
the rock as upon an altar, where- 
upon, it was consumed by a super- 
natural fire and the angel disap- 
peared. Gideon asked for a sign. 
A fleece was laid out in the open 
thrashing-floor; next morning it was 
quite wet while aU surrounding it 
was perfectly dry. The next night 
the order was reversed, the soil sur- 
rounding was quite wet and the 
fleece perfectly dry. Gideon's service 
to the Israelites was great, and , 
they offered him the crown, but he 
declined, saying. "I wiU not rule I 
over you. neither shall my son rule , 
over you; Jehovah, he shaU rule over i 
you." He had seventy sons and 
many wives and died at a very ad- | 
vaneed age. 

7. Gideon is here called a hero, 
not because of what he has done, but 
as a prophecy of what he will do. 

8. Favor, mercy and recognition. ; 

9. About four and one-half pecks. 

10. Angel of God is here used in- 
stead of Angel of Jehovah, as in v. 
11. for the reason — says Cassel — that 
"the nature of the angel as a divine 
being here begins to declare itself," 
and Elohim is used instead of Jeho- I 
vah to indicate, "how the angel in j 
his individual appearance can contain | 
in himself the power of God." 

1 : . In an orderly manner. ' 



13 And Gid'e-on said unto him, Oh my Lord, 
if the : Lord be with us, why then is all this 
befallen us? and d where be ail his miracles 
which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not 
the : Lord bring us up from E'gypt? but now 
the 2 Lord hath 6 forsaken us, and delivered ua 
into the hands of the IMid'i-ari-ites. 

14 And the : Lord looked upon him, and said, 
Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Is'- 
ra-el from the hand of the -Mid i-an-ites : have 
'not I sent thee? 

15 And he said unto him, Oh my : Lord, 
wherewith shall I save Is'ra-el? behold, my 
family is poor in l\Ia-nas seh, and I am the 
least in my father's house. 

16 And the L Lord said unto him, Surely ^1 
will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the 
Alid'i-an-ites as one man. 

17 And he said unto him, If now I have 
''found s grace in thy sight, then shew me a 
sign that thou talkest with me. 

18 Depart not "hence, I pray thee, until I 
come unto thee, and bring forth my present, 
and set it before thee. And he said, I will 
tarry until thou come again. 

19 *A\nd Gid'e-on went in, and made ready 
a kid, and unleavened cakes of an c 'ephah of 
flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put 
the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto 
him under the oak, and presented it. 

20 And the "angel of c 'God said unto him, 
Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and 
lay them upon this rock, and pour out the 
broth. And he did so. 

21 r Then the angel °of the ^Lord put forth 
the end of the staff that was in his hand, and 
touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; 
and there rose up fire out of the rock, and 
consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. 
Then the angel of the ^ord departed out of 
his sight. 

22 And when 'Gid'e-on perceived that he 
was an c angel of the Lord, Gid e-on said, Alas, 
O Lord God! for because I have 'seen an angel 
of the ^ord face to face. 

23 And the Lord said unto him, Peace -'"be 
unto thee; ! -'fear not: thou shalt not die. 

24 Then e Gid'e-on built an altar there unto 
the T.ord, and called it Je-ho'vah-shalom : unto 
this day it is yet in Oph'rah of the A'bi-ez'- 
rites. 

25 ""And it came to pass the same night, 
that the ^ord said unto him, Take thy father's 
young bullock, even the second bullock of seven 
years old, and throw down the altar of Ba'al 
that thy father hath, and cut down the grove 
that is by it : 

26 And build an altar unto the J Lord thy

a. And it came to pass when the judge was dead, that they returned 
and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other 
gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them: they ceased not from 
their own doings nor from their stubborn way. (Jud. 2:19.) 

b. With whom the Lord had made a covenant and charged them, 
saying, Te shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor 
serve them, nor sacrifice to them. (II Ks. 1. :35.) 

c. See c, ch. 0, Judges. 

d. Lord, where are thy former loving-kindnesses, which thou 
swarest unto David in thy truth? (Ps. 89:49.) Behold, the Lord's 
hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that 
it cannot hear. (Is. 59:1.) 

e. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seek him, 
he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 
(II Chr. 15:2.) For the Lord seareheth all hearts, and understandeth 
all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found 
of thee: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 
28:9.) And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me 
with all your heart. (Jer. 29:13.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, 
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) 

f. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; 
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with 
thee whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:9.) 

g. And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a 
token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth 
the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. (Ex. 
3:12.) There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the 
days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will 
not fail thee nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) What shall we then say 
to these things? if God be for us who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 



h. And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their 
kings shall minister unto thee; for in my wrath I smote thee, but in 

. my favor have I had mercy on thee. (Is. 60:10.) For the Lord God is 

' a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing 

I will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. (Ps. 84:11.) But he 
giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but 

I giveth grace unto the humble. (Ja. 4:6.) Though the Lord be high. 
yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 

* (Ps. 138:6.) My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not 
away, I pray thee, from thy servant. (Gen. 18:3.) 

i. And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her. Thou 

j God seest me: for she said. Have I also here looked after him that 

I seeth me? (Gen. 16:13.) Thou canst not see my face: for there shall 

I no man see me. and live. (Ex. 33:20.) 

j. O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee; be strong, 
yea. be strong. And" when he had spoken unto me, -I was strengthened, 
and said. Let my Lord speak: for thou hast strengthened me. (Dan. 

I 10:19.) Salt is good- but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith 
will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with 

! another. (Mk. 9:50.) I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he 
will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints. But let them 

I not turn again to folly. (Ps. 85:8.) Therefore being justified by faith, 
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:1.1 
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord 
Jesus Christ. (Gal. 1:3.) Grace be unto you. and peace, from God our 
Father, and from tha Lord Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 1:3.) Grace be to you 
and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. (II 
Cor. 1:2.) 

k. Xow therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in 
truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other 
side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. (Josh. 24:14.)

place, and take the second bullock, and offer 
a burnt '"sacrifice with the wood of the grove 
which thou shalt cut down. 

27 Then 6 Gid'e-on took ten men of his serv- 
ants, and did as the 'Lord had said unto him: 
and so it was, because he feared his father's 
household, and the men of the city, that he 
could not do it by day, that he did it by night. 

28 r And when the men of the city arose 
early in the morning, behold, the altar of 
Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut 
down that was by it, and the second bullock 
was offered upon the altar that was built. 

29 And they said one to another, Who hath 
done this thing? And when they enquired and 
asked, they said, °Gld'e-on the son of Jo'ash 
hath done this thing. 

30 Then the men of the city said unto Jo'- 
ash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: be- 
cause he hath cast down the altar of Ba'al, 
and because he hath cut down the grove that 
was by it. 

31 And Jo'ash said unto all that stood 
against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye 
save him? he that will plead for him, let him 
be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if 
he be a "god, let him plead for himself, be- 
cause one hath cast down his altar. 

32 Therefore on that day he called him Je- 
rub'ba'al, saying, Let Ba'al plead against him, 
because he hath thrown down his altar. 

33 [ "Then all the Mid'i-an-ites and the Am'- 
a-lek-ites and the children of the east were 
gathered together, and went over, and pitched 
in the valley of Jez're-el. 

34 But 'the "Spirit of the 'Lord came upon 
Gid'e-on, and he blew a '"trumpet; and ATji-e'- 
zer was gathered after him. 

35 And he sent messengers throughout all 
Ma-nas'seh; who also was gathered after him: 
and he sent messengers unto Ash'er, and unto 
Zeb'u-lun, and unto Naph'ta-H; and they came 
up to meet them. r 

36 r "A.nd 5 Gld'e-on said unto God, If thou 
wilt save Is'ra-el by mine hand, as thou hast 
said, 

37 Behold, "I will put a fleece of wool in the 
floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and 
it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall 
I know that thou wilt save is'ra-el by mine 
hand, as thou hast said. 

38 And it was so: for he rose up early on 
the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and 
wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full 
of water. 

39 And Gid'e-on said unto God, Let not thine 
"anger be hot against me, and I will speak but 
this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this 
once with the fleece; let it now be dry only 
upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let 
there be dew. 

40 And God did so that night: for it was 
dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew 
on all the ground.

of trumpets and lamps in pitchers. 24 The 
Ephraimites take Oreb and Zeeb. 

1 'Then a Je-rub'ba-al, who is s Gid'e-on, and 
all the people that were with him, 6 rose up 
early, and pitched beside the well of Ha'rod: 
so that the host of the Mid'i-an-ites were on 
the north side of them, by the hill of Mo'reh, 
in the valley. 

2 And the 2 Lord said unto 3 Gid'e-on, The 
people that are with thee are too many for 
me to give the Mid'i-an-ites into their hands, 
lest Is'ra-el c vaunt themselves against me, say- 
ing, Mine own hand hath saved me. 

3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears 
of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and 
^afraid, let him return and depart early from 
mount Gil'e-ad. And there returned of the 
people twenty and two thousand; and there 
remained ten thousand. 

4 And the "Lord said unto 3 Gid'e-on, The 
people are yet too many; bring them down 
unto the water, and I will try them for thee 
there: and it shall be, that of whom I say 
unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same 
shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say 
unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the 
same shall not go. 

5 So he brought down the people unto the 
water : and the "Lord said unto "Gid'e-on, Every 
one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, 
as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by him- 
self; likewise every one that boweth down 
upon his knees to drink. 

6 And the number of them that lapped, put- 
ting their hand to their mouth, were three hun- 
dred men : but all the rest of the people bowed 
down upon their knees to drink water. 

7 And the 2 Lord said unto 3 Gid'e-on, e By the 
three hundred men that lapped will I save you, 
and deliver the Mid'i-an-ites into thine hand: 
and let all the other people go every man unto 
his place. 

8 So the people took victuals in their hand. 
and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of 
Is'ra-el every man unto his tent, and retained 
those three hundred men: and the host of 
Mid'i-an was beneath him in the valley. 

9 ^ 4 And it came to pass the same night, 
fthat the "Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee 
down unto the host; for I have delivered it 
into thine hand. 

10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with 
Phu'rah thy servant down to the host: 

11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and 
afterward shall thine hands be strengthened 
to go down unto the host. Then went he down 
with Phu'rah his servant unto the outside of 
the armed men that were in the host. 

12 And the Mid'i-an-ites and the Am'a-lek- 
ites and all the children of the east lay along 



Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that 
it be not moved. (I Chr. 16:30.) Fear God, and give glory to him; 
for the hour of his judgment is come ; and worship him that made 
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Rev. 
14:7.) And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to 
generation. (Luke 1:50.) 

1. And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel 
and went out to war. (Jud. 3:10.) Then the spirit came upon Amasai, 
who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and 
on thy side, thou son of Jesse. (I Chr. 12:18.) 

m. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall 
assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. (Xum. 10:3.) And it came to pass, when he was come, that 
he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of 
Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them. 
(Jud. 3:27.) 

n. Cast it oil the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it 
became a serpent: and Moses fled from before it (3). And the Lord said 
unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put 
forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand (4) : And 
the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy 
bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, 
behold, his hand was leprous as snow (6). And he said. Put thine hand 
into thy bosom again. And he put his hand Into his bosom again: 
and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as 
his other flesh. (Ex. 4:3, 4, 6, 7.) 



o. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them: and he 
departed. (Xum. 12:9.) Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot 
against Israel. (Jud. 3:8.) God judgeth the righteous, and God is 
angry with the wicked every day. (Ps. 7:11.) The Lord is merciful, 
and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. (Ps. 103:8.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. See ch. 6:32. 

b. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for 
there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, 
whither thou goest. (Eec. 9:10.) And thou say in thine heart, My 
power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. (Dt. 8:17.) 
By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom. (Is. 
10:13.) Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord 
of hosts. (Zech. 4:6.) That no flesh should glory in his presence. (I 
Cor. 1:29.) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the 
excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (II Cor. 4:7.) 

d. And the officer shall speak further unto the people, and they 
shall say. What man is there that is fearful and faint hearted? let 
him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as 
well as his heart. (Dt. 20:8.) 

e. Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uneircum- 
cised: it may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no restraint 
to the Lord to save by many or by few. (I Sam. 14:6.)

in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; 
and their camels were without number, as the 
sand by the sea side for multitude. 

13 And when : Gld'e-on was come, behold, 
there was a man that told a dream unto his 
fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream. 
and, lo, ^a cake of barley bread tumbled into 
the host of MId'I-an, and came unto a tent. 
and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, 
that the tent lay along. 

14 And his fellow answered and_ said, This 
is nothing else save the sword of c Gid'e-on the 
son of Jo'ash, a man of Is'ra-el: for into his 
hand hath God delivered Mid'I-an, and all the 
host. 

15 r5 And it was so, when s GId'e-on heard 
the telling of the dream, and the interpretation 
thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into 
the host of Is'ra-el, and said, Arise; for the 
"Lord hath ''delivered into your hand the host 
of -Uldl-an. 

16 And he divided the three hundred men 
into three companies, and he put a trumpet in 
every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and 
lamps within the pitchers. 

17 And he said unto them. Look on me. and 
do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the 
outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do. 
so shall ye do. 

18 "When I blow with a trumpet, I and all 
that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets 
also on every side of all the camp, and say. 
The sword of the T.ord, and of Gid'e-on. 

19 r So s GId'e-on, and the hundred men that 
were with him, came unto the outside of the 
camp in the beginning of the middle Vatch: 
and they had but newly set the watch: and 
they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers 
that were in their hands. 

20 And the three companies blew the trum- 
pets, and brake the pitchers, and held the 
lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in 
their right hands to blow withal: and they 
cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gid'e-on. 

21 And they 'stood every man in his place 
round about the camp: and all the host ran. 
and cried, and fled. 

22 And the three hundred /blew the trum- 
pets, and the T.ord x 'set every man's sword 
T against his fellow, even throughout all the 
host: and the host fled to Beth-shit'tah in 
Zer'e-rath. and to the border of ATiel-me-ho- 
lah, unto TabTrnth. 

23 And the men of Is'ra-el gathered them- 
selves together out of Xaph'ta-li, and out of 
Ash'er, and out of all Ma-nas'seh, and pursued 
after the Midl-an-ites. 

24 *~And Gid'e-on sent messengers through- 
out all mount E'phra-im, saying, Come down 
against the Midf-an-ites, and take before them

all the men of E'phra-im gathered themselves 
together, and took the waters unto Beth-ba'-

1 L And the men of E'phra-im said unto him, 
Why hast thou served us thus, that thou 
calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight 
with the Mid 'i-an-ites? And they did chide 
with him sharply. 

2 And he said unto them, What have I done 
now in comparison ofyou? Is not the glean- 
ing of the grapes of E'phra'im better than the 
vintage of Ahi-e'zer? 

3 God hath delivered into your hands the 
princes of Alld'I-an, O'reb and Ze'eb: and what 
was I able to do in comparison of you? Then 
their anger was abated toward him, when he 
had said that. 

4 r "And Gid'e-on came to Jor'dan, and 
passed over, he, and the three hundred men 
that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. 

5 And he said unto the men of Suc'coth, 
Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the 
people that follow me; for they be faint, and 
I am pursuing after Zebah and Zal-mun'na, 
kings of Midl-an. 

6 f And the princes of Suc'coth said, Are 
the hands of Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na now in 
thine hand, that we should give bread unto 
thine army? 

7 And Gid'e-on said. Therefore when the 
: Lord a hath delivered Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na 
into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh 
with the thorns of the wilderness and with 
briers. 

8 r And he went up thence Ho Pe-nu'el, and 
spake unto them likewise: and the men of 
Pe-nu'el answered him as the men of Suc'coth 
had answered him. 

9 And he spake also unto the men of Pe- 
nu'el, saying, When I come again in peace, I 
will break down this tower. 

10 r Now Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na were in 
Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fif- 
teen thousand men. all that were left of all 
the hosts of the children of the east: for there 
fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that 
drew sword. 

11 *~ And Gid'e-on went up by the way of 
them that dwelt in tents on the east of Xo'bah 
and J5g'be-hah, and smote the host: for the 
host was secure. 

12 And when Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na fled, 
he pursued after them, and took the two kings 
of MIdl-an, Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na, and 4 dis- 
comfited all the host.

turned from battle '^before the sun was up, 



of thee a great nation. (Gen. 4>-j:2, 3.) In thoughts from the visions 
of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men. (Job. 4:13.) 

g. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help 
thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Be- 
hold I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: 
thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and 
shalt make the hills as chaff. (Is. 41:14, Id.) But God hath chosen 
the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath j 
the weak things of the world to confound the things which are 
ity. (I Cor. 1::"

will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. (Dan. 3:17.) And lead us 
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (Mat. 6:13.) The sun | 
shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that 
great and notable day of the Lord come. (Acts 2:20.) 

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand 
II. and see the salvation of the Lord with you. O Judah and , 
Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed: tomorrow go out against them, 1 



for the Lord will be with ycu. (II Chr. 20:17.) And Moses said unto 
the people. Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, 
which he will show to you today. (Ex. 1^ 

j. And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew 
with the trumpets. Joshua said unto the people, Shout: for the Lord 
hath given you the city (16). So the people shouted when the priests 
blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard 
the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, 
that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, 
every man straight before him and they took the city. (Josh. 6:16, 20.) 
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the

14 And caught a young man of the men of 
Suc'coth, and enquired of him: and he de- 
scribed unto him the princes of Suc'coth, and 
the elders thereof, even threescore and seven- 
teen men. 

15 And he came unto the men of Suc'coth, 
and said, Behold Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na, with 
whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the 
hands of Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na now in thine 
hand, that we should give bread unto thy men 
that are weary? 

16 And he took the elders of the city, and 
thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with 
them he taught the men of Suc'coth. 

17 And he beat down the 7 tower of Pe-nu'el, 
and slew the men of the city. 

IS If s Then said he unto Ze'bah and Zal- 
mun'na, What manner of men were they whom 
ye slew at Tab)or? And they answered, As 
thou art, so were they; each one resembled 
the children of a king. 

19 And he said, They were my brethren, 
even the sons of my mother: as the 3 Lord 
liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not 
slay you. 

20 And he said unto Je'ther his firstborn, 
Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not 
his sword: for he feared, because he was yet 
a youth. 

21 Then Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na said, Rise 
thou, and fall upon us_: for as the man is, so 
is his strength. And Gid'e-on arose, and slew 
Ze'bah and Zal-mun'na, and took away the 
ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

Gid'e-on, Rule thou over us, both thou, and 
thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast 
delivered us from" the hand of Mid'i-an. 

23 And Gid'e-on said unto them, I will not 
rule over you, neither shall my son rule over 
you: c the 'Lord shall 10 rule over you. 

24 If And Gid'e-on said unto them, I would 
desire a request of you, that ye would give me 
every man the earrings of his prey. (For they 
had golden earrings, because they were Ish'- 
ma-el-ites.) 

25 And they answered, We will willingly 
give them. And they spread a garment, and 
did cast therein every man the earrings of his 
prey. 

26 And the weight of the golden earrings 
that he requested was a thousand and seven 
hundred "shekels of gold; beside ornaments, 
and collars, and purple raiment that was on 
the kings of Mid'i-an, and beside the chains 
that were about their camels' necks. 

27 And Gid'e-on made an 12 ephod thereof, 
and put it in his city, even in Oph'rah: and all 
Is'ra-el went thither a "whoring after it: 
which thing became d a snare unto Gid'e-on, 
and to his house.

children of Is'ra-el, so that they lifted up their 
heads no more. And the country was in quiet- 
ness forty years in the days of Gid'e-on.

in a good old age, and was buried in the sep- 
ulchre of Jo'ash his father, in Oph'rah of the 
A'bi-ez'rites. 

33 And it came to pass, e as soon as Gid'e-on 
was dead, that the children of Is'ra-el turned 
again, and went a whoring after Ba'al-im, and 
made Ba'al-be'rith their god. 

34 And the children of Is'ra-el remembered 
not the 3 Lord their God, who had delivered 
them out of the hands of all their enemies on 
every side: 

35 Neither ^shewed they kindness to the 
house of Je-rub'ba-al, namely, Gid'e-on, ac- 
cording to all the goodness which he had 
shewed unto Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 Abimelech by conspiracy with the Shechem- 
ites, and murder of his brethren, is made 
king. 22 Gaal conspireth with the She- 
chemites against him. 34 Abimelech over- 
cometh them, and soweth the city with salt. 
46 He burnetii the hold of the god Berith. 
50 A t Thebez he is slain by a piece of a 
millstone. 

1 'And A-bim'e-lech the son of Je-rub'ba-al 
went to She'chem unto his mother's brethren, 
and communed with them, and with all the 
family of the house of his mother's father, 
saying, 

2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the 
men of She'chem, Whether is better for you, 
either that all the sons of Je-rub'ba-al, which 
are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, 
or that one reign over you? remember also 
that I am your bone and your flesh. 

3 And his mother's brethren spake of him 
in the ears of all the men of She'chem all 
these words: and their hearts inclined to fol- 
low A-bim'e-lech; for they said, He is our 
brother. 

4 And they gave him threescore and ten 
pieces of silver out of the house of Ba'al-be' 
rith, wherewith A-bim'e-lech hired vain and 
light persons, which followed him. 

5 And he went unto his father's house at 
Oph'rah, and slew his brethren the sons of 
Je-rub'ba-al, being threescore and ten persons, 
upon one stone: notwithstanding yet JS'tham 
the youngest son of Je-rub'ba-al was left; for 
he hid himself. 

6 And all the men of She'chem gathered to- 
gether, and all the house of Mil'lo, and went, 
and made A-bim'e-lech king, by the plain of 
the pillar that was in She'chem. 

7 1f 2 And when they told it to JS'tham, he 
went and stood in the top of a mount Ger'i-zim, 
and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said 
unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of She'- 
chem, that God may hearken unto you. 

8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint 
a king over them; and they said unto the olive 
tree, Reign thou over us. 

9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should 
I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they 
honour God and man, and go to be promoted 
over the trees? 



c. And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the 
people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, 
but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. (I Sam. 
8:7.) And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon 
came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over 
us: when the Lord your God was your king. (I Sam. 12:12.) O Lord 
our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us; but by 
thee only will we make mention of thy name. (Is. 26;13.) 

d. And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God 
shall deliver thee: thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither 
shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee. (Dt 
7:16.) 

e. And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they re- 
turned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following 
other gods to serve them: and to bow down unto them; they ceased not 
from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. (Jud. 2:19.) 

f. There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came 



a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks 
against it (14) : Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by 
his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor 
man. (Ecc. 9:14, 15.) Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary 
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may 
devour. (I Pet. 5:8.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God hath brought 
thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt 
put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 
(Dt. 11:29.) And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their 
judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests 
the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well 
the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over 
against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal. 
(Josh. 8:33.) Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, 
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. (Jno. 4:20.;

10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come 
thou, and reign over us. 

11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should 
I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, 
and go to be promoted over the trees? 

12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come 
thou, and reign over us. 

13 And the vine said unto them, Should I 
leave my wine, which cheeretlr God and man, 
and go to be promoted over the trees? 

14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, 
Come thou, and reign over us. 

15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If 
in truth ye anoint me king over you, then 
come and put your trust in my 6 shadow: and 
if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and 
devour the c cedars of Leb'a-non. 

16 Xow therefore, if ye have done truly and 
sincerely, in that ye have made A-bim'e-lech 
king, and if ye have dealt well with Je-rub'- 
ba-al and his house, and have done unto him 
according to the deserving of his hands; 

17 (For my father fought for you, and ad- 
ventured his life far, and delivered d you out 
of the hand of Mid'i-an : 

18 And ye are risen up against my father's 
house this day, and have slain his sons, three- 
score and ten persons, upon one stone, and 
have made A-bim'e-lech, the son of his maid- 
servant, king over the men of She'chem, be- 
cause he is your brother;) 

19 If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely 
•with Je-rub'ba-al and with his house this day, 
then c rejoice ye in A-bim'e-lech, and let him 
also rejoice in you: 

20 But if not, let fire come out from A-bim'- 
e-lech, and devour the men of She'chem, and 
the house of Alilio; and let fire come out from 
the men of She'chem, and from the house of 
Mil'lo. and devour A-bim'e-lech. 

21 And Jo'tham ran away, and fled, and 
went to Be'er, and dwelt there, for -fear of 
A-bim'e-lech his brother. 

22 H*When A-bim'e-lech had reigned 'three 
years over Is'ra-el, 

23 Then ^God sent an 6 evil spirit between 
A-bim'e-lech and the men of She'chem; and 
the men of She'chem -'dealt treacherously with 
A-bim'e-lech : 

24 That the "cruelty done tothe threescore 
and ten sons of Je-rub'ba-al might come, and 
their blood be laid upon A-bim'e-lech their 
brother, which slew them; and upon the men 
of She'chem, which aided him in the killing 
of his brethren. 

25 And the men of She'chem set liers in 
wait for him in the top of the mountains, and 
they robbed- all that came along that way by 
them: and it was told A-bim'e-lech. 

26 And Ga'al the son of E'bed came with 
his brethren, and went over to She'chem: and 
the men of She'chem put their confidence in 
him.

gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes,

and made 'merry, and went into the house of 
their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed 
A-bim'e-lech. 

28 And Ga'al the son of E'bed said, Who is 
A-bim'e-lech, and who is She'chem, that we 
should serve him? is not he the son of Je- 
rub'ba-al? and Ze'bul his officer? serve the men 
of Ha-mor the father of She'chem: for why 
should we serve him? 

29 And would to God this people were under 
my hand! then would I remove A-bim'e-lech. 
And he said to A-bim'e-lech, Increase thine 
army, and come out. 

30 r And when Ze'bul the ruler of_ the city 
heard the words of Ga'al the son of E'bed, his 
anger was kindled. 

31 And he sent messengers unto A-bim'e- 
lech privily, saying, Behold, Ga'al the son of 
E'bed and his brethren be come to She'chem; 
and, behold, they fortify the city against thee. 

32 Now therefore up by night, thou and the 
people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the 
field: 

33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as 
soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, 
and set upon the city: and, behold, when he 
and the people that is with him come out 
against thee, then mayest thou do to them -'as 
thou shalt find occasion. 

34 r And A-bim'e-lech rose up, and all the 
people that were with him, by night, and they 
laid wait against She'chem in four companies. 

35 And Ga'al the son of E'bed went out, and 
stood in the entering of the gate of the city: 
and A-bim'e-lech rose up, and the people that 
were with him, from lying in wait. 

36 And when Ga'al saw the people, he said 
to Ze'bul, Behold, there come people down from 
the top of the mountains. And Ze'bul said 
unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the moun- 
tains as if they were men. 

37 And Ga'al spake again and said, See 
there come people down by the middle of the 
land, and another company come along by the 
plain of Me-on'e-nim. 

38 Then said Ze'bul unto him, Where is now 
thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is 
A-bim'e-lech, that we should serve him? is not 
this the people that thou hast despised? go 
out, I pray now, and fight with them. 

39 And Ga'al went out before the men of 
She'chem, and fought with A-bim'e-lech. 

40 And A-bim'e-lech chased him, and he 
fled before him, and many were overthrown 
and wounded, even unto the entering of the 
gate. 

41 And A-bim'e-lech dwelt at A-rumah: 
and Ze'bul thrust out Ga'al and his brethren, 
that they should not dwell in She'chem. 

42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
the people went out into the field; and they 
told A-bim'e-lech.

them into three companies, and laid wait in 
the field, and looked, and, behold, the people

from God troubleth thee. (I Sam. 16:15.) And I will set the Egyptians

midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, 
as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. (Is. 19:2, 14.)

shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. And 
gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the 
vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting:

up against them, and smote them.

was with him, rushed forward, and stood in 
the entering of the gate of the city: and the 
two other companies ran upon all the people 
that were in the fields, and slew them. 

45 And A-bim'S-lech fought against the city 
all that day; and he took the city, and slew 
the people that was therein, and A beat down 
the city, and sowed it with salt. 

46 H And when all the men of the tower of 
She'chem heard that, they entered into an hold 
of the house of the god Be'rith. 

47 And it was told A-bim'e-lech, that all 
the men of the tower of She'chem were gath- 
ered together. 

48 And A-bim'e-lech gat him up to mount 
Zal'mon, he and all the peonle that were with 
him; and A-bim'e-lech took an ax in his hand, 
and cut down a bough from the trees, and took 
it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto 
the people that were with him, What ye have 
seen me do, make haste, and do as I have 
done. 

49 And all the people likewise cut down 
every man his bough, and followed A-bim'e- 
lech, and put them to the hold, and set the 
hold on fire upon them; so that all the men 
of the tower of She'chem died also, about a 
thousand men and women.

and encamped against The'bez, and took it. 

51 But there was a strong tower within the 
city, and thither fled all the men and women, 
and all they of the city, and shut it to them, 
and gat them up to the top of the tower. 

52 And A-bim'e-lech came unto the tower, 
and fought against it, and went hard unto the 
door of the tower to burn it with fire.

millstone upon A-bim'e-lech's head, and 7 all to

man his armourbearer, and said unto him, 
Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say

of the Philistines forty years. (Jud. 13:1.) 

b. And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought 
them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods 
of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto 



them, and provoked the Lord to anger. And they forsook the Lord, 
apd served Baal and Ashtaroth. (Jud. 2:12, 13.) 

c. Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped 
Ashtaroth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the 
.Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not 
Walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep 
my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father. (I Ks. 11:33.) 
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. (Ps. 
106:36.) 

d. Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his 
great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because 
of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal. (II 
Ks. 23:26.) And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart 
was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto 
him twice. (I Ks. 11:9.) But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose 
name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, 
and said unto them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was 
wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have 
slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven. (II Chr. 28:9.) 
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness 
and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrightousness. 
(Rom. 1:18.) 

e. And when they forgat the Lord their God, he sold them into 
the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of 
the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought 
against them. (I Sam. 12:9.) 

f. See d, ch. 3, Judges. 

g. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind; for the 
Lord seareheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of 
the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou 
forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (P Chr. 28:9.) And he went 
out to meet Asa, and said unto him. Hear ye me, Asa. and all Judah 
and Benjamin; the Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if 
ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will 
forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken 
me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of

ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their 
hand. 

13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served 
other gods: wherefore I s will deliver you no 
more. 

14 Go and ''cry unto the gods which ye have 
chosen; let them deliver you in the time of 
your tribulation. 

15 If And the children of Is'ra-el said unto 
the 3 Lord, We 'have sinned: do thou unto us 
whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us 
only, we pray thee, this day. 

16 °And they Jput away the strange gods 
from among them, and served the 'Lord: and 
his soul ''was grieved for the misery of Is'- 
ra-el. 

17 Then the children of Am'mon were gath- 
ered together, and encamped in Gil'e-ad. And 
the children of is'ra-el assembled themselves 
together, and encamped in Miz'peh. 

18 And the people and princes of Gil'e-ad 
said one to another, What man is he that will 
begin to fight against the children of Am'mon? 
he shall be head over all the inhabitants of 
Gil'e-ad. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 The covenant between Jephthah and the Gil- 
eadites. 12 The treaty of peace between 
him and the Ammonites is in vain. 29 
Jephthah's vow. 32 His conquest of the 
Ammonites. 34 He performeth his vow on 
his daughter. 

1 2 Now "Jeph'thah the Gil'e-ad-ite was a a 
mighty man of valour, and he was the son of 
an harlot: and Gil'e-ad begat Jeph'thah. 

2 And Gil'e-ad's wife bare him sons; and 
his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out 
Jeph'thah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not 
inherit in our father's house; for thou art the 
son of a strange woman. 

3 Then 2 Jeph'thah fled from his brethren, 
and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were 
gathered vain men to Jeph'thah, and went out 
with him. 

4 If And it came to pass in process of time, 
that the children of Am'm5n made war against 
Is'ra-el. 

5 And it was so, that when the children of 
Am'mon made war against Is'ra-el, the elders 
of Gil'e-ad went to fetch 2 Jeph'thah out of the 
land of Tob: 

6 And they said unto Jeph'thah, Come, and 
be our captain, that we may fight with the 
children of Am'mon. 

7 And 2 Jeph'thah said unto the elders of 
Gil'e-ad, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out 
of my father's house? and why are ye come 
unto me now when ye are in distress? 

8 And the elders of Gil'e-ad said unto Jeph'- 
thah, Therefore & we turn again to thee now, 
that thou mayest go with us, and fight against 
the children of Am'mon, and be our head over 
all the inhabitants cf Gil'e-ad. 



S. JehoTah hers tells Israel that 
he will deliver them no more, al- 
though he did afterward deliver them 
again and again. There is no con- 
tradiction, however, for these state- 
ments were conditional, he would de- 
liver them no more until their con- 
fession and repentance were genuine.

conqueror of the Ammonites; of his 
antecedents little is known save that 
he was a Gileadite warrior and the 
son of a harlot. At one time he was 
driven from his home (v. 7) and be- 
came the leader of a baud of free- 
booters in the land of Tob. The Is- 
raelites east of the Jordan being in- 
vaded by the Ammonites, it now be- 
came very necessary for them to seek 
a leader. They turned to Jephthah. 
An agreement was reached where- 
by Jephthah was to become their 
leader, and. if the Ammonites were 
conquered, he was to be made chief 
of his people. A solemn compact 
was entered into binding both parties. 
It seems at this time Jephthah went 
to the holy place or altar at Mizpeh 
of Gilead and there vowed to sacri- 
fice whomsoever should come out to 
meet him if he should return vic- 
torious. His daughter came out to 
meet him on his return, and the story 
closes by saying he did unto her as 
he vowed.

9 And 2 Jeph'thah said unto the elders of 
Gil'e-ad, If ye bring me home again to fight 
against the children of Am'mon, and the 3 Lord 
"deliver them before me, shall I be your head? 

10 And the elders of Gil'e-ad said unto 
Jeph'thah, The "Lord d be witness between us, 
if we do not so according to thy words. 

11 Then 2 Jeph'thah went with the elders of 
Gil'e-ad, and the people made him head and 
captain over them: and Jeph'thah uttered all 
his words "before the "Lord in Miz'peh. 

12 1f 4 And Jeph'thah sent messengers unto 
the king of the children of Am'mon, saying, 
What hast thou to do with me, that thou art 
come against me to fight in my land? 

13 And the king of the children of Am'mon 
answered unto the messengers of Jeph'thah, 
Because Is'ra-el took away my land, when 
they came up out of E'gypt, from Ar'non even 
unto Jab'bok, and unto Jor'dan: now there- 
fore restore those lands again peaceably. 

14 And 2 Jeph'thah sent messengers again 
unto the king of the children of Am'mon: 

15 And said unto him, Thus saith Jeph'- 
thah, Is'ra-el took not away the land of Mo'ab, 
nor the land of the children of Am'monj 

16 But when Is'ra-el came up from E'gypt, 
and walked through the wilderness unto the 
Red sea, and came to Ka'desh; 

17 Then Is'ra-el sent messengers unto the 
king of E'dom, saying, Let me, I praythee, 
pass through thy land: but the king of E'dom 
would not hearken thereto. And in like man- 
ner they sent unto the king of Mo'ab : but he 
would not consent: and Is'ra-el abode in Ka'- 
desh. 

18 Then they went along through the wil- 
derness, and compassed the land of E'dom, and 
the land of Mo'ab, and came by the east side 
of the land of Md'ab, and pitched on the other 
side of Ar'non, but came not within the border 
of Mo'ab: for Ar'non was the border of Mo'ab. 

19 And Is'ra-el sent messengers unto Si'hon 
king of the Am'or-ites, the king of Hesh'bon; 
and Is'ra-el said unto him, Let us pass, we 
pray thee, through thy land into my place. 

20 But Si'hon trusted not Is'ra-el to pass 
through his coast: but Si'hon gathered all his 
people together, and pitched in Ja'haz, and 
fought against Is'ra-el. 

21 And the 3 Lord God of c Is'ra-el delivered 
Si'hon and all his people into the hand of 
Is'ra-el, and they smote them: so Is'ra-el pos- 
sessed all the land of the Am'or-ites, the in- 
habitants of that country. 

22 And they possessed all the coasts of the 
Am'or-ites, from Ar'non even unto Jab'bok, 
and from the wilderness even unto Jor'dan. 

23 So now the 3 Lord God of Is'ra-el hath 
dispossessed the Am'or-ites from before his 
people Is'ra-el, and shouldest thou possess it? 

24 Wilt not thou possess that which Che'- 
mosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So 



my roaring? (Ps. 22:1.) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with 
a loud voice saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My 
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Mat. 27:46.) 

h. And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do 
with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets 
of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him. Nay: for the 
Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the 
hand of Moab. (II Ks. 3:13.) Hath any of the gods of the nations 
delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? (II 
Ks. 18:33.) But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let 
them arise if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for accord- 
ing to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. (Jer. 2:28.) 

i. I have sinned: what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of 
men? Why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a 
burden to myself? (Job 7:20.) How many are mine iniquities and sins? 
make me to know my transgression and my sin. (Job 13:23.) I ac- 
knowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, 
I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest 
the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Ps. 32:5.) I said. Lord, be merciful 
unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. (Ps. 41:4.) As 
far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our trans- 
gressions from us. (Ps. 103:12.) But there is forgiveness with thee, 
that thou mayest be feared. (Ps. 130:4.) For this is my blood of the 
new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 
(Mat. 26:28.) 



j. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble them- 
selves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; 
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal 
their land. (II Chr. 7:14.) 

k. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his 
presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; 
and he bare them and carried them all the days of old. (Is. 63:9.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto 
him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. (Jud. 6:12.) 

b. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven 
times in a day turn again to thee saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive 
him. (Luke 17:4.)

d. Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be a true and faithful 
witness between us. if we do not even according to all things for the

e. Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation 
was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with 
the land of Gilead, unto the Lord in Mizpeh. (Jud. 20:1.) And Samuel

whomsoever the "Lord our God '"shall drive out 
from before us, them will we possess. 

25 And now art thou any thing better than 
Ba'lak the son of Zip'por, king of Mo'ab? did 
he ever strive against Is'ra-el, or did he ever 
fight against them, 

26 While is'ra-el dwelt in Hesh'bon and her 
towns, and in Ar'6-er and her towns, and in 
all the cities that be along by the coasts of 
Ar'non, three hundred years? why therefore 
did ye not recover them within that time? 

27 Wherefore I have not sinned against 
thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against 
me: the Lord the Judge "be judge this day 
between the children of Is'ra-el and the chil- 
dren of Am'mon. 

28 Howbeit the king of the children of Am'- 
mon hearkened not unto the w T ords of Jeph'- 
thah which he sent him. 

29 r Then the ''Spirit of the 3 Lord came 
upon Jeph'thah, and he passed over Gil'e-ad, 
and Ma-nas'seh, and passed over Miz'peh of 
Gil'e-ad, and from Miz'peh of _ Gil'e-ad he 
passed over unto the children of Am'mon. 

30 And Jeph'thah Vowed a vow unto the 
'Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail de- 
liver the children of Am'mon into mine hands, 

31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh 
forth of the doors of my house to meet me, 
when I return in peace from the children of 
Am'mSn, shall surely be the 3 Lord's, and I will 
offer it up for a burnt offering. 

32 *~ So Jeph'thah passed over unto the 
children of Amnion to fight against them; and 
the Lord delivered them into his hands. 

33 And he smote them from Ar'6-er, even 
till thou come to Min'nith, even twenty cities, 
and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a 
very great slaughter. Thus the children of 
Am'mon were subdued before the children of 
Is'ra-el. 

34 K And Jeph'thah came to Miz'peh unto 
his house, and, behold, his daughter came out 
to meet him with timbrels and with dances : 
and she was his only child; beside her he had 
neither son nor daughter. 

35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, 
that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my 
daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and 
thou art one of them that trouble me: for I 
'have opened my mouth unto the 3 Lord, and 
•'I cannot go back. 

36 And she said unto him, My father, if 
thou hast opened thy mouth unto the 3 Lord, 
do to me according to that which hath pro- 
ceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the 
3 Lord hath taken ^vengeance for thee of thine 
enemies, even of the children of Am'mon.

thing be done for me : let me alone two months,

mountains. 

39 And it came to pass at the end of two 
months, that she returned unto her father, 
who did with her according to his vow which 
he had vowed: and she knew no man. And 
it was a custom in Is'ra-el, 

40 That the daughters of Is'ra-el went year- 
ly to T lament the daughter of Jeph'thah the 
Gil'e-ad-ite four days in a year. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 The Ephraimites, quarrelling with Jeph- 
thah, are slain by the Gileadites. 7 Jeph- 
thah dieih. 8Ibzan, 11 and Elon, 13 and 
Abdon, who had forty sons and thirty neph- 
ews, judged Israel. 

1 'And the men of E'phra-im gathered them- 
selves together, and went northward, and said 
unto Jeph'thah, Wherefore passedst thou over 
to fight against the children of Am'mon, and 
didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn 
thine house upon thee with fire. 

2 And Jeph'thah said unto them, I and my 
people were at great strife with the children 
of Am'mon; and when I called you, ye deliv- 
ered me not out of their hands. 

3 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, 
I "put my life in my hands, and passed over 
against the children of Am'mon, and the 2 Lord 
delivered them into my hand: wherefore then 
are ye come up unto me this day, to fight 
against me? 

4 3 Then Jeph'thah gathered together all the 
men of Gil'e-ad, and fought with E'phra-im: 
and the men of Gil'e-ad smote E'phra-im, be- 
cause they said, Ye Gil'e-ad-ites are fugitives 
of E'phra-im among the E'phra-im-ites, and 
among the Ma-nas'sites. 

5 And the Gil'e-ad-ites took the 6 passages 
of Jor'dan before the E'phra-im-ites: and it 
was so, that when those E'phra-im-ites which 
were escaped said, Let me go over; that the 
men of Gil'e-ad said unto him, Art thou an 
E'phra-im-ite? If he said, Nay; 

6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shib'- 
bo-leth : and he said Sib'bo-leth : for he could 
not frame to pronounce it right. Then they 
took him, and slew him at the passages of 
Jor'dan: and there fell at that time of the 
E'phra-im-ites forty and two thousand. 

7 And Meph'thah judged Is'ra-el six years. 
Then died Jeph'thah the Gil'e-ad-ite, and was 
buried in one of the cities of Gil'e-ad. 

8 HAnd after him "ib'zafl of Beth'-le-hem 
judged Is'ra-el. 



f. Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath 
cast them out from before thee saying. For my righteousness the Lord 
hath brought me in to possess this land, but for the wickedness of these 
nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee. (Dt. 9:4.) 

g. That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the right- 
eous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, 
that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 
(Gen. 18:25.) 

h. Behold my servant, whom I uphold: mine elect, in whom my 
soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth 
judgment" to the Gentiles. (Is. 42:1.) The Spirit of the Lord God is 
upon me: because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings 
unto the meek: he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to 
proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them 
that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because 
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me 
to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and 
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. 
(Luke 4:18.) And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the 
heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. 
(Mk. 1:10.) 

i. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty 
to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon 
earth: therefore let thy words be few. (Ecc. 5:2.) But when ye pray, 
use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they 
shall be heard for their much speaking. (Mat. 6:7.) In the multitude 
of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. 
(Prov. 10:19.) 

j. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned: but he honoreth them 
that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth 



not. (Ps. 15:4.) When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay 
it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow 
and not pay. (Ecc. 5:4, 5.) If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear 
an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his w-ord, he 
shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. (Num. 30:2.) 

k. Is this not' laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my 
treasures? To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall 
slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the 
things that shall come upon them make haste. (Dt. 32:34, 35.) God is 
jealous, and the Lord revengeth: the Lord revengeth, and is furious; 
the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth 
wrath for his enemies. (Nah. 1:2.) For we know him that hath said. 
Vengeance belongeth unto me. I will recompense, saith the Lord. And 
again, The Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore 
troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy 
voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto 
thy words which thou spakest unto me. (I Sam. 28:21.) Wherefore do 
I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? (Job 13:14.) 
My soul is continually in mine hand: yet do I not forget thy law. (Ps. 
119:109.) 

b. And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of 
Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have 
built an altar over against the laDd of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, 
at the passage of the children of Israel. (Josh. 22:11.) Follow after me: 
for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. 
And they went down after him and took the fords of Jordan toward 
Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over. (Jud. 3:2S.)

of the family of the Dan'ites, whose name was 
Ma-no'ah; and his wife was barren, and bare 
not. 

3 And the fi angel of the '"Lord appeared unto 
the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, 
thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou 
shalt conceive, and bear a son. 

4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and

for the child shall be a 2 Naz'a-rite unto God 
from the womb : and he shall begin to ^deliver 
Is'ra-el out of the hand of the Phi-lis'tines. 

6 *~ Then the woman came and told her hus- 
band, saying, *A man of God came unto me, 
and his countenance was like the 'countenance 
of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked 
him not whence he was, neither told he me

God from the womb to the day of his death. 

8 f Then Ma-no'ah intreated the Lord, and 
said, O my 'Lord, let the man of God which 
thou didst send come again unto us, and teach 
us what we shall do unto the child that shall 
be born. 

9 And God hearkened to the voice of Ma- 
no'ah: and the -'angel of God came again unto 
the woman as she sat in the field: but Ma- 
n5'ah her husband was not with her. 

10 And the woman made haste, and ran, 
and shewed her husband, and said unto him, 
Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that 
came unto me the other day. 

11 And Ma-no'ah arose, and went after his 
wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, 
Art thou the man that spakest unto the wom- 
an? And he said, I am. 

12 And Ma-no'ah said, Now let thy words 
come to pass. How shall we order the child 
and how shall we do unto him? 

13 And the angel -'of the 'Lord said unto 
Ma-no'ah, Of all that I said unto the woman 
let her beware. 

14 She may not eat of any thing that 
cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine 
or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: 
all that I commanded her let her observe. 

15 If And Ma-no'ah said unto the angel 'of 
the 'Lord, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until 
we shall have made ready a kid for thee. 

16 And the angel -'of the 'Lord said unto 
Ma-no'ah, Though thou detain me, I will not 
eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a 
'•'burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the 
"Lord. For Ma-no'ah knew not that he was 
J an angel of the Lord. 

17 And Ma-no'ah said unto the angel ■'of the 
'Lord, What is thy name, that when thy say- 
ings come to pass we may do thee honour? 

18 And the angel -'of the 'Lord said unto 
him, Why askest thou thus after my name, 
seeing it is secret? 

19 So Ma-no'ah took a kid with a ^neat 
offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the 
Lord: and the angel did wonderously; and 
Ma-no'ah and his wife looked on. 

20 For it came to pass, when the flame went 
up toward heaven from off the altar, that the 
'angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of 
the altar. And Ma-no'ah and his wife looked 
on it, and 'fell on their faces to the ground. 



Chapter 13. 

a. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
served Baalim. ' (Jud. 2:11.) And the children of Israel did evil in the 
sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim 
and the groves. (Jud. 3:7.) And the children of Israel again did evil 
in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead. (Jud. 4:1.) And the 
children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord deliv- 
ered them into the hand of Midian seven years. (Jud. 6:1.) 

b. See h, ch. 7. 

c. And when they forgat the Lord their God, he sold them into 
the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand 
of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they 
fought against them. (I Sam. 12:9.) 

d. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto 
him. The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. (Jud. 6:12.) 
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou art highly 
favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women (28). 
And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, 
and shalt call his name JESUS. (Luke 1:28, 31.) 

e. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them. When 
either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a 
Xazarite, to separate themselves unto the Lord: He shall separate 
himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of 
wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of 
grapes nor eat moist grapes or dried. (Num. 6:2, 3.) For he shall be 
great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong 
drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother's 
womb. (Luke 1:15.) 

f. All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor 
come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he sep- 
arated himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy and shall let the locks 
of the hair of his head grow. (Xum. 6:5.) And she vowed a vow and 
said. Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine 
handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt 
give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the 
Lord all the davs of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his 
head. (I Sam. 1:11.) 



g. So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into 
the coast of Israel: and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines 
all the days of Samuel. (I Sam. 7:13.) And after this it came to pass 
that David smote the Philistines and subdued them: and David took 
Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines. (II Sam. 8:1.) Xow 
after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued 
them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 
(I Chr. 18:1.) 

h. And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God 
blessed the children of Israel before his death. (Dt. 33:1.) And there 
came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in 
Egypt in Pharaoh's house? (I Sam. 2:27.) And he said unto him, Be- 
hold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable 
man: all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither: 
peradventure he can show us our way that we should go. (I Sam. 9:6.) 
And the woman saici to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a 
man of God. and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. 
(I Ks. 17:24.) 

i. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as 
snow. (Mat. 28:3.) And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance 
was altered, and his raiment was white and glistening. (Luke 9:29.) 
And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his 
face as it had been the face of an angel. (Acts 6:15.) 

j. Behold, I send an Angel before thee to keep thee in the way 
and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of 
him, and obey his voice, provoke him not: for he will not pardon your 
transgressions: for my name is in him. (Ex. 23:20, 21.) Now go, lead 
the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, 
mine Angel shall go before thee: Nevertheless in the day when I visit 
I will visit their sin upon them. (Ex. 32:34.) 

k. For purpose and design of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

1. And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed 
upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the 
people saw they shouted and fell upon their faces. (Lev. 9:24.) And 
David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord stand between 
the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched

21 But the ■'angel of the 'Lord did no more 
appear to Ma-no'ah and to his wife. Then 
Ma-no'ah knew that he was an angel of the 
'Lord. 

22 And Ma-no'ah said unto his wife, We 
shall surely die, because we have seen God. 

23 But his wife said unto him, If the Lord 
were pleased to kill us, he would not have re- 
ceived a A burnt ^offering and a meat 'offering 
at our hands, neither would he have shewed us 
all these things, nor would as at this time have 
told us such things as these. 

24 Tf And the woman bare a son, and called 
his name 5 Sam'son: and the child grew, and 
the Lord blessed him. 

25 And the '"Spirit of the Lord began to 
move him at times in the camp of Dan be- 
tween Zo'rah and Esh'ta-61. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Samson desireth a wife of the Philistines. 
5 In his journey he killeth a lion. 8 In a 
second journey he findeth honey in the car- 
case. 10 Samson's marriage feast. 12 His 
riddle by his wife is made known. 19 He 
spoileth thirty Philistines. 20 His wife is 
married to another. 

1 'And Sam'son went down to Tim'nath, 
and saw a woman in Tim'nath of the daugh- 
ters of the Phi'lis'tine§. 

2 And he came up, and told his father and 
his mother, and said, I have seen a woman 
in Tim'nath of the daughters of the Phi-lis'- 
tines. : now therefore get her for me to wife. 

. 3 Then his father and his mother said unto 
him, Is there never a woman among the daugh- 
ters of thy "brethren, or among all my people, 
that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircum- 
cised Phi-lis'tine§? And Sam'son said unto 
his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth 
me well. 

4 But his father and his mother knew not 
that it was s of the 2 Lord, that he sought an 
occasion against the Phi-lis'tines. : for at that 
'time the Phi-lis'tines. had dominion over Is'- 
ra-el. 

5 If Then went Sam'son Mown, and his fath- 
er and his mother, to Tim'nath, and came to 
the vineyards of Tim'nath: and, behold, a 
young lion roared against him. 

6 5 And e the Spirit of the 2 Lord came might- 
ily upon him, and he rent him as he would 
have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his 
hand: but he told not his father or his mother 
what he had done. 

7 And he went down, and talked with the 
woman ; and she pleased Sam'son well. 

8 I And after a time he returned to take 
her, and he turned aside to see the carcase 
of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm 
of 6 bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. 

9 And he took thereof in his hands, and 
went on eating, and came to his father and 
mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: 
but he told not them that he had taken the 
honey out of the carcase of the lion. 

10 1f 7 So his father went down unto the 
woman: and Sam'son made there a feast; for 
so used the young men to do. 



4. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 

5. The celebrated deliverer and 
judge of Israel, renowned for his 
physical strength, ignominious for 
his moral infirmities, and revenged 
in his tragical death. He was a son 
of the tribe of Dan. His mother's 
name is not given in the Bible. The 
oracle spake to his mother and told 
her that her child would be a son 
and a Nazarite from his birth, upon 
whose head no razor should come, 
and that he was to be a deliverer of 
his people. She was accordingly di- 
rected to perform her part of absti- 
nence required by the Nazarite law. 
He became infatuated with De- 
lilah, a woman of Sorek, who in- 
duced him to betray the secret of his 
strength. After deceiving her twice, 
he finally told her the truth, viz., 
that if his hair was clipped he would 
have no more strength than other 
men. She lulled him to sleep with 
his head in her lap and called the 
barbers to cut his hair. Then the 
Philistines rushed in upon him and 
captured him. burning out his eyes. 
Forgetting the secret of his strength, 
they allowed his hair to grow out 
again. At one of their great gath- 
erings, when an immense multitude 
had collected to mock him, he was 
led by a child into their midst. He 
grasped the massive pillars, support- 
ing the roof upon which had gathered 
thousands, and bowing himself with 
resistless force, he caused the whole 
building to topple, whereupon the 
roof with its herd falls into the 
ruins, killing the entire assemblage, 
including Samson himself. Thus 
was brought to a close one of the 
most remarkable characters of his- 
tory, either sacred or profane.

Vs. 1-5, Samson seeks a wife 
among the Philistines. 

2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

3. The reason why Jehovah was 
preparing a way to overthrow the 
Philistines' dominion over Israel. 

4. The laws of that age required 
the parents of the bridegroom to ne- 
gotiate the marriage of their son. 
For this purpose Samson's parents 
accompany him to Timnath. 

5. Vs. 6-9, Samson kills a lion. 

6. Dr. Kitto says: "In the East 
insects, particularly swarms of ants, 
will — in an astonishingly short time 
— clean completely out all the soft 
parts of any carcass, leaving the 
skeleton entire, covered by its in- 
teguments drawn over the skeleton; 
the bones and skin will rapidly be 
deprived of all their moisture by the 
heat of the sun, forming a very con- 
venient and desirable habitation for 
a swarm of bees." 

7. Vs. 10, 11, Samson's marriage 
feast. At that time the wedding 
festivities lasted a week. A large 
number of people were entertained 
in separate apartments — the females 
with the bride and the males with 
the groom. 

8. Vs. 12-18, Samson propounds a 
riddle to the Philistines. 

9. It was customary at that time 
to put riddles in poetical form as 
Samson has done in this case. S.'s 
riddle was cunningly stated, as no 
one would look to the lion, the king 
of beasts, to find sweetness. 

Ch. 15. B. C. 1140. 

1. Vs. 1, 2. the Philistines play 
traitor with Samson and give his 
wife to another. 

2. Samson seeks revenge and 
burns the Philistines' corn. 



11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, 
that they brought thirty companions to be 
with him. 

12 1f s And Sam'son said unto them, I will 
now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can 
certainly declare it me within the seven days 
of the feast, and find it out, then I will give 
you thirty sheets and thirty change of gar- 
ments : 

13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall 
ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of 
garments. And they said unto him, Put forth 
thy riddle, that we may hear it. 

14 And he said unto them, 9 Out of the eater 
came forth meat, and out of the strong came 
forth sweetness. And they could not in three 
days expound the riddle. 

15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, 
that they said unto Sam'son's wife, ^Entice thy 
husband, that he may declare unto us the 
riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house 
with fire: have ye called us to take that we 
have? is it not so? 

16 And Sam'son's wife wept before him, and 
said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me 
not : thou hast put forth a riddle unto the chil- 
dren of my people, and hast not told it me. 
And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told 
it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell 
it thee? 

17 And she wept before him the seven days, 
while their feast lasted: and it came to pass 
on the seventh day, that he told her, because 
she lay sore upon him : and she told the riddle 
to the children of her people. 

18 And the men of the city said unto him 
on the seventh day before the sun went down, 
What is sweeter than honey? and what is 
stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, 
If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had 
not found out my riddle. 

19 IF And the Spirit c of the 2 Lord came upon 
him, and he went down to Ash'ke-lon, and slew 
thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and 
gave change of garments unto them which 
expounded the riddle. And his anger was 
kindled, and he went up to his father's house. 

20 But Sam'son's wife was given to his com- 
panion, whom he had used as his friend. 

CHAPTER 15. 

Samson's revenge on the Philistines. 

1 J But it came to pass within a while after, 
in the time of wheat harvest, that Sam'son 
visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will 
go in to my wife into the chamber. But her 
father would not suffer him to go in. 

2 And her father said, I verily thought that 
thou hadst utterly hated her ; theref ore I gave 
her to thy companion: is not her younger sis- 
ter fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, in- 
stead of her. 

3 2 f And Sam'son said concerning them, 
Now shall I be more blameless than the Phi- 
lis'tine§, though I do them a displeasure. 

4 And Sam'son went and caught three hun- 
dred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned 



out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were 
clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. (I Chr. 21:16.) 

m. And the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged 
Israel and went out to war. (Jud. 3:10.) And the spirit of God came 
upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled 
greatly. (I Sam. 11:6.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, 
and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my 
son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell. But 
thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife 
unto my son Isaac. (Gen. 24:3, 4.) 

b. For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should 
come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, 
and that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them as 
the Lord commanded Moses. (Josh. 11:20.) So the king hearkened 
not unto the people: for the cause was of God that the Lord might per- 
form his work, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite 
to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. (II Chr. 10:15.) 



c. And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged 
Israel, and went out to war. (Jud. 3:10.) And the Spirit of God came 
upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled 
greatly. (I Sam. 11:6.) And I will come down and talk with thee 
there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put 
it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, 
that thou bear it not thyself alone. (Num. 11:17.) The Spirit of the 
Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach 
good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken 
hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the 
prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) The Spirit of the Lord is 
upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the 
poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance 
to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty 
them that are bruised. (Luke 4:18.) 

d. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said 
unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and 
by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him

"between two tails. 

•5 And when he had set the brands on fire, 
he let them go into the standing com of the 
Phi-lis'tines, and burnt up both the shocks, 
and also the standing corn, with the vineyards 
and olives. 

6 r 'Then the Phi-lis'tines said, Who hath 
done this? And they answered, Samson, the 
son in law of the Tim'nite, because he had 
taken his wife, and given her to his compan- 
ion. a And the Phi-lis tines came up, and burnt 
her and her father with fire. 

7 r And Sam'son said unto them, Though 
ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, 
and after that I will cease. 

8 And he smote them "hip and thigh with a 
great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt 
in the top of the rock E'tam. 

9 *" c Then the Phi-lis'tines went up, and 
pitched in Ju'dah, and spread themselves in 
Le'hi. 

10 And the men of Ju'dah said, Why are ye 
come up against us? And they answered, To 
bind Sam'son are we come up, to do to him 
as he hath done to us. 

11 Then three thousand men of Ju'dah went 
to the top of the rock E'tam, and said to Sam- 
son, Knowest thou not that the Phi-lis'tines 
are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast 
done unto us? And he said unto them, As they 
did unto me, so have I done unto them. 

12 And they said unto him, We are come 
down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee 
into the hand of the Phi-lis'tines. And Sam'- 
son said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye 
will not fall upon me yourselves. 

13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; 
but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee 
into their hand: but surely we will not kill 
thee. And they bound him with two new 
cords, and brought him up from the rock. 

14 r And when he came unto Le'hi, the 
Phi-lis'tines shouted against him: and the 
Spirit 6 of the Lord came mightily upon him, 
and the cords that were upon his arms be- 
came as flax that was burnt with fire, and his 
bands loosed from off his hands. 

15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, 
and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew 
a thousand men therewith. 

16 And Sam'son said, With the jawbone of 
an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an 
ass have I slain a thousand men. 

17 And it came to pass, when he had made 
an end of speaking, that he cast away the 
jawbone out of his hand, and called that place 
Ra'math-le'hi. 

18 *" And he was sore athirst, and called on 
the Lord, and said, Thou hast given this great 
deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and 
now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the 
hand of the uncircumcised?

there an harlot, and went in unto her. 

2 And it was told the Ga'zites, saying, 
Sam'son is come hither. And they "compassed 
him in, and laid wait for him all night in the 
gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, 
saying, In the morning, when it is day, we 
shall kill him. 

3 And Sam'son lay till midnight, and arose 
at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of 
the city, and the two posts, and went away 
with them, bar and all, and put them upon 
his shoulders, and carried them up to the top

see wherein his great strength lieth, and by 
what means we may prevail against him, that 
we may bind him to afflict him: and we will 
give thee every one of us 'eleven hundred 
pieces of silver. 

6 TAnd De-H'lah said to Sam'son, Tell me. 
I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, 
and wherewith thou mightest be bound to af- 
flict thee. 

7 And Sam'son said unto her, If they bind 
me with seven green withs that were never 
dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another 
man. 

8 Then the lords of the Phi-lis'tines brought 
up to her seven green withs which had not 
been dried, and she °bound him with them. 

9 Now there were men lying in wait, abi- 
ding with her in the chamber. And she said 
unto him, The Phi-lis'tines be upon thee, 
2 Sam'son. And he brake the withs, as a thread 
of tow is broken when it touch eth the fire. 
So his strength was not known. 

10 And 4 De-li'lah said unto 2 Sam'son, Be- 
hold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: 
now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou 
mightest be bound. 

11 And he said unto her, If they bind me 
fast with new ropes that never were occupied, 
then shall I be weak, and be as another man. 

12 4 De-lHah therefore took new ropes, and 



to afflict him: and we will give thee, every one of us, eleven hundred 
pieces of silver. (Jud. 16:5.)

a. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto 
Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the 
riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye 
called us to take that we have? is it Dot so? (Jud. 14:15.) 

b. See c, ch. 14, Jud. 

c. And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said 
unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry 
him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived. (Gen. 45:27.) He giveth 
power to the faint: and to them that have no might he increaseth 
strength. (Is. 40:29.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his 
men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away 
for fear of Saul: for Saul and his men compassed David and his men 
round about to take them. (I Sam. 23:26.) They came round about 
me daily like water; they compassed me about .together. (Ps. 88:17.) 
They compassed me about: yea, they compassed me about: but in the 
name of the Lord I will destroy them. They compassed me about like 
bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the 
Lord I will dr-stroy them. (Ps. 118:11, 12.) 

b. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto 
Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the 



riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye 
called us to take that we have? is" it not so? (Jud. 14:15.) To deliver 
thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which fiattereth 
with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth 
the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and 
her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither 
take they hold of the paths of life. (Prov. 2:16-19.) For the lips of a 
strange woman drop as an honeycomb and her mouth is smoother than 
oil. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged 
sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Lest 
thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are movable, that 
thou canst not know them. Hear me now therefore, O ye children, 
and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far 
from her and come not nigh the door of her house: Lest thou give 
thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: Lest strangers 
be filled with thy wealth, and thy labors be in the house of a stranger; 
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are con- 
sumed. (Prov. 5:3-11.) With her much fair speech she caused him to 
yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. He goeth after 
her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the 
correction of the stocks: Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird 
hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. (Prov. 
7:21-23.) 

c. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece 
of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. (Prov. 6:26.)

Lound d him therewith, and said unto him, The 
rni-iis'tines be upon thee, "Sam'son. And 
mere were liers in wait abiding in the cham- 
Der. And he brake them from off his arms 
like a thread. 

13 And TJe-H'lah said unto "Sam'son, Hith- 
erto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: 
tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. 
And he said unto her, If thou weavest the 
seven locks of my head with the web. 

14 And she fastened it with the pin, and 
said unto him, The Phi-lis'tines be upon thee, 
"Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, 
and went away with the pin of the beam, and 
with the web. 

15 °H And she said unto him, c How canst 
thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not 
with me? thou hast mocked me these three 
times, and hast not told me wherein thy great 
strength lieth. 

16 And it came to pass, when she pressed 
him daily with her words, and urged him, so 
that his soul was vexed unto death; 

17 That he ftold her all his heart, and said 
unto her, There hath not come a #razor upon 
mine head; for I have been a Naz'a-rite unto 
God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, 
then my strength will go from me, and I shall 
become weak, and be like any other man. 

18 And when De-li'lah saw that he had told 
her all his heart, she sent and called for the 
lords of the Phi-lis'tines, saying, Come up this 
once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. 
Then the lords of the Phi-lis'tines came up 
unto her, and brought money in their hand. 

19 And she ''made him sleep upon her knees; 
and she called for a man, and she caused him 
to shave off the seven locks of his head; and 
she began to afflict him, and his strength went 
from him. 

20 And she said, The Phi-lis'tines be upon 
thee, Sam'son. And he awoke out of his sleep, 
and said, I will go out as at other times be- 
fore, and shake myself. And he wist not that 
the 7 Lord 'was departed from him. 

21 *~ s But the Phi-lis'tines took him, and 
put out his eyes, and brought him down to 
Ga'za, and bound him with fetters of brass; 
and he did grind in the prison house. 

22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to 
grow again 9 after he was shaven. 

23 1,:, Then the lords of the Phi-lis'tines gath- 
ered them together for to offer a great sacri- 
fice unto Da'gon their god, and to rejoice: for

the appendix which was added to 
the Book 'of Judges by a later hand, 
though whether a different author 
from the writer of the first 16 chs.

of us. 

25 And it came to pass, when their hearts 
were merry, that they said, Call for "Sam'son, 
that he may make us sport. And they called 
for Sam'son out of the prison house; and he 
made them sport: "and they set him between 
the pillars. 

26 "And Sam'son said unto the lad that held 
him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel 
the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that 
I may lean upon them. 

27 Now the house was full of men and wom- 
en; and all the lords of the Phi-lis'tines. were 
there; and there were upon the roof about 
three thousand men and women, that beheld 
while Sam'son made sport. 

28 And "Sam'son called unto the T Lord, and 
said, O 7 Lord God, •'remember me, I pray thee, 
and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, 

God, that I may be at once avenged of the 
Phi-lis'tine§ for my two eyes. 

29 And Sam'son took hold of the two mid- 
dle pillars upon which the house stood, and 
on which it was borne up, of the one with 
his right hand, and of the other with his left. 

30 And "Sam'son said, Let me die with the 
Phi-lis'tines. And he bowed himself with all 
his might; and the house tell upon the lords, 
and upon all the people that were therein. So 
the dead which he slew at his death were more 
than they which he slew in his life. 

31 Then his brethren and all the house of 
his father came down, and took him, and 
brought him up, and buried him between Zo'- 
rah and Esh'ta-ol in the buryingplace of Ma- 
no'ah his father. And he judged Is'ra-el 
twenty years. 

CHAPTER 17. 

1 Of the money that Micah first stole, then 
restored, his mother maketh images, 5 and

from thee, about which thou cursedst, and 
spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver 
is with me; I took it. And his mother said, 
a Blessed be thou of the 3 Lord, my son. 

3 And when he had restored the eleven hun- 
dred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother 
said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto 
the 3 Lord from rny hand for my son, to make 
a 6 graven image and a molten image: now 
therefore I will restore it unto thee.

or as a fool to the correction of the stocks. ((Prov. 7:22.) 

e. And Samson's wife wept before him and said, Thou dost but 
hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the 
children of iny people, and hast not told it to me. And he said unto 
her, Behold, f have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall 
I tell it thee? (Jud. 14:16.) 

f. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may 
discover itself. (Prov. 18:2.) Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not 
confidence in a guide; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth 
in thy bosom. (Mic. 7:5.) 

g. All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor 
come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled in the which he 
seDarateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the 
locks of the hair of his head grow. (Num. 6:5.) For, lo, thou shalt 
conceive and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the 
child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin 
to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. (Jud. 13:5.)

snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall 
escape from her: but the sinner shall be taken by her. (Ecc. 7:26.) 

i. Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten 
before your enemies. For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there 
before vou, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away 
from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you. (Num. 14:42. 43.) 
But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from 
the Lord troubled him. (I Sam. 16:14.) And Samuel said to Saul, 
Why hast thou disquieted me to bring me up? And Saul answered, I 



am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God 
has departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets 
nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make 
known unto me what I shall do. Then said Samuel, Wherefore then 
dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is 
become thine enemy? (I Sam. 28:15, 16.) Hear ye me, Asa, and all 
Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; 
and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he 
will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) There is no king saved by the multi- 
tude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 
(Ps. 33:16.) Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his 
wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the 
rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, 
that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which 
exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth: for 
in these things i delight, saith the l^ord. (Jer. 9:23, 24.) Though they 
bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be 
a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! (Hos. 9:12.) 

j. O .L,ord, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge 
me of my persecutors: take me not away in thy long-suffering: know 
that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. (Jer. 15:15.) But, O Lord 
of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, 
let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my 
cause. (Jer. 11:20.)

not young men, whether poor or rich. (Ruth 3:10.)

mother; and his mother took two hundred 
shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, 
wno made thereof a graven linage and a 
molten image: and they were in the house of 
Ml'cah. 

5 And the man 4 Mi'cah had an house of 
gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and 
consecrated one of his sons, who became his 
priest. 

6 In those days there was no king in Is'- 
ra-el, but every man did that which was right 
in his own eyes. 

7 H And there was a young man out of 
Beth'-le-hem-'ju'dah of the family of Ju'dah, 
who was a Le'vite, and he sojourned there. 

8 And the man departed out of the city from 
Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah to sojourn wherehe could 
find a place: and he came to mount E'phra-im 
to the house of Mi'cah, as he journeyed. 

9 And 4 Ml'cah said unto him, Whence 
comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a 
Le'vite of Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah, and I go to so- 
journ where I may find a place. 

10 And 4 Mi'cah said unto him, Dwell with 
me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and 
I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the 
year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. 
So the Le'vite went in. 

11 And the Le'vite was content to dwell with 
the man ; and the young man was unto him as 
one of his sons. 

12 And 4 Ml'cah consecrated the Le'vite; and 
the young man became his priest, and was in 
the house of Ml'cah. 

13 Then said Ml'cah, Now know I that the 
3 Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Le'vite 
to my priest. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 The Danites send five men to seek out an 
inheritance. 3 At the house of Micah they 
consult with Jonathan. 7 They search La- 
ish, and bring back news of good hope. 11 
Six hundred men are sent to surprise it. 
27 They win Laish, and call it Dan. 30 
They set up idolatry. 

1 J In those days there was no king in Is'- 
ra-el: and in those days the "tribe of the Dan'- 
Ites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; 
for unto that day all their inheritance had not 
fallen unto them among the tribes of Is'ra-el. 

2 And the children of Dan sent of their fam- 
ily five men from their coasts, men of valour, 
from & Zo'rah, and from Esh'ta-ol, to c spy out 
the land, and to search it; and they said unto 
them, Go, search the land: who when they 
came to mount E'phra-im, to the house of 
Ml'cah. they lodged there. 

3 When they were by the house of Ml'cah, 
they knew the voice of the young man the 
Le'vite: and they turned in thither, and said 
unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what 
makest thou in this place? and what hast thou 
here? 

4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus

5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we 
pray thee, of God, that we may know whether 
our way which we go shall be prosperous. 

6 And the priest said unto tnem, 3 Go in 
peace: before the "Lord is your way wherein 
ye go. 

7 K Then the five men departed, and came 
to La'ish, and saw the people that were therein, 
how they dwelt careless, after the manner of 
the Zl-do'ni-ans, quiet and secure; and there 
was no magistrate in the land, that might put 
them to shame in any thing; and they were 
far from the Zl-do'ni-ans, and had no business 
with any man. 

8 And they came unto their brethem to Zo'- 
rah and Esh'ta-61: and their brethren said 
unto them, What say ye? 

9 And they said, d Arise, that we may go up 
against them: for we have- seen the land, and, 
behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be 
not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the 
land. 

10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people 
secure, and to a large land : for God hath given 
it into your hands; a place where there is no 
want of any thing that is in the earth. 

11 If And there went from thence of the 
family of the Dan'Ites, out of Zo'rah and out 
of Esh'ta-61, six hundred men appointed with 
weapons of war. 

12 And they went up, and pitched in Kir'- 
jath-je'a-rlm, in Ju'dah: wherefore they called 
that place Ma'ha-neh-dan unto this day: be- 
hold, it is behind KIr'jath-je'a-rim. 

13 And they passed thence unto mount 
E'phra-im, and came unto the house of Ml'cah. 

14 H Then ^answered the five men that went 
to spy out the country of La'ish, and said unto 
their brethren, Do ye know that there is in 
these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a 
graven f image, and a molten image? now 
therefore consider what ye have to do. 

15 And they turned thitherward, and came 
to the house of the young man the Le'vite, 
even unto the house of Ml'cah, and saluted 
him. 

16 And the six hundred men appointed with 
their weapons of war, which were of the chil- 
dren of Dan, stood by the entering of the 
gate. 

17 And the five men that went to spy out 
the land went up, and came in thither, and 
took the "graven image, and the ephod, and 
the 4 teraphim, and the molten image: and the 
priest stood in the entering of the gate with 
the six hundred men that were appointed with 
weapons of war. 

18 And these went into Mi'cah's house, and 
fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the 
teraphim, and the molten image. Then said 
the priest unto them, What do ye? 

19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, 
''lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with 



of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. (Ex. 20:23.) 
Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. (Ex. 34:17.) Thou shalt not 
make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in 
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters 
beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them nor 
serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the 
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth 
generation of them that hate me. (Dt. 5:8, 9.) 
Chapter 18. 

a. And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for 
them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, 
and took it and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it 
and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan 
their father. (Josh. 19:47.) 

b. And the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times in the 
camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. (Jud. 13:25.) 

c. And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said 
unto them, Get you up this way southward and go up into the moun- 
tain. (Num. 13:17.) And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two 
men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. (Josh. 2:1.) 

d. And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, Let us go up 
at once, and possess it: for we are well able to overcome it. (Num. 
13:30.) So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain 
and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him 



all things that befell them (23): And they said unto Joshua, Truly the 
Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land: for even all the 
inhabitants of the country do faint because of us. (Josh. 2:23, 24.) 

e. Then answered cne of the people and said, Thy father straitly 
charged the people with an oath, saying. Cursed be the man that eateth 
any food this day. And the people were faint. (I Sam. 14:28.) 

f. See b, ch. 17, Judges. 

g. Yet he restored the money unto his mother: and his mother 
took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who 
made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in 
the house of Micah. And the man Micah had an house of gods, and 
made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who 
became his priest. (Jud. 17:4, 5.) And Laban went to shear his sheep, 
and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's (19). And now 
though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longest after thy 
father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? (Gen. 31:19, 30.) 
Behold they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten 
images are wind and confusion. (Is. 41:29.) Thy graven images also 
will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee: and 
thou shalt no more worship the wcrk of thine hands. (Mic. 5:13.) 

h. Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your 
mouth. (Job 21:5.) The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand 
on their mouth. (Job. 29:9.) Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer 
thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. (Job 40:4.) If thou

us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it 
better for thee to be a priest unto the house of 
one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe 
and a family in Is'ra-el? 

20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he 
took the ephod, and the Seraphim, and the 
graven image, and went in the midst of the 
people. 

21 So they turned and departed, and put 
the little ones and the cattle and the carriage 
before them. 

22 % And when they were a good way from 
the house of Mi'cah, the men that were in the 
houses near to Mi'cah's house were gathered 
together, and overtook the children of Dan. 

23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. 
And they turned their faces, and said unto 
Mi'cah, What aileth thee, that thou comest 
with such a company? 

24 And he said, Ye have taken away #my 
gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are 
gone away: and what have 1 more? and what 
is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee? 

25 And the children of Dan said unto him, 
Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest 
angry fellows run. upon thee, and thou lose 
thy life, with the lives of thy household. 

26 And the children of Dan went their way : 
and when Mi'cah saw that they were too 
strong for him, he turned and went back unto 
his house. 

27 And they took the things which Mi'cah 
had made, and the priest which he had, and 
came unto La'ish, unto a people that were at 
quiet and secure: and they smote them with 
the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with 
fire. 

28 And there was no deliverer, because it 
was far from Zi'don, and they had no busi- 
ness with any man; and it was in the valley 
that lieth by Beth-re'hob. And they built a 
city, and dwelt therein. 

29 And they called the name of the 5 city 
Dan, after the name of Dan their .father, who 
was born unto is'ra-el: howbeit the name of 
the city was La'ish at the first. 

30 11 And the children of Dan set up the 
graven image: and Jon'a-than, the son of 
Ger'shom, the son of Ma-nas'seh, he and his 
sons were priests to the tribe of Dan i until 
the day of the captivity of the land. 

31 And they set them up Mi'cah's graven 
image, which he made, 'all the time that the 
house of God was in Shi'loh.

his wife. 16 An old man entertaineth him 
at Gibeah. 22 The Gibeonites abuse his 
concubine to death. 29 He divideth her into 
twelve pieces, to send them to the twelve

1 And it came to pass on those days, a when 
there was no king in Is'ra-el, that there was a 
certain Le'vlte sojourning on the side of 
mount E'phra-im, who took to him a Concu- 
bine out of Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah. 

2 And his concubine played the whore 
against him, and went away from him unto 
her father's house to Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah, and 
was there four whole months. 

3 And her husband arose, and went after 
her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring 
her again, having his servant with him, and a 
couple of asses : and she brought him into her

father's house: and when the father of the 
damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 

4 And his father in law, the damsel's father, 
retained him; and he abode with him three 
days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged 
there. 

5 II And it came to pass on the fourth day, 
when they arose early in the morning, that 
he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father 
said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart 
with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your 
way. 

6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink 
both of them together: for the damsel's father 
had said unto the man, Be content, I pray 
thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart 
be merry. 

7 And when the man rose up to depart, his 
father in law urged him: therefore he lodged 
there again. 

8 And he arose early in the morning on the 
fifth day to depart: and the damsel's father 
said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And 
they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat 
both of them. 

9 And when the man rose up to depart, he, 
and his "concubine, and his servant, his father 
in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, 
Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, 
I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day 
groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart 
may be merry; and to morrow get you early 
on your way, that thou mayest go home. 

10 But the man would not tarry that night, 
but he rose up and departed, and came over 
against Je'bus, which is Je-ru'sa-lem; and 
there were with him two asses saddled, his 
concubine also was with him. 

11 And when they were by Je'bus, the day 
was far spent; and the servant said unto his 
master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in 
into this city of the Jeb'u-sites, and lodge 
in it. 

12 And his master said unto him, We will 
not turn aside hither into the city of a 
stranger, that is not of the children of Is'ra-el; 
we will pass over to Gib'e-ah. 

13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and 
let us draw near to one of these places to 
lodge all night, in Gib'e-ah, or in Ra'mah. 

14 And they passed on and went their way; 
and the sun went down upon them when they 
were by Gib'e-ah, which belongeth to Ben'ja- 
min. 

15 And they turned aside thither, to go in 
and to lodge in Gib'e-ah : and when he went in, 
he sat him down in a street of the city: for 
there was no man that took them into his 
house to lodging. 

16 H And, behold, there came an old man 
from his work outof the field at even, which 
was also of mount E'phra-im; and he sojourned 
in Gib'e-ah: but the men of the place were 
Ben'ja-mites. 

17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he 
saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city : 
and the old man said, Whither goeth thou? 
and whence comest thou? 

18 And he said unto him, We are passing 
from Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah toward the side of 
mount E'phra-im; from thence am I: and I 
went to Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah, but I am now 
going to the b house of the 2 Lord; and there is 
no man that receiveth me to house.

i. And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the 
Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines 
forty years. (Jud. 13:1.) And the Philistines put themselves in array 
against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before 
the Philistines: And they slew of the army in the field about four 
thousand men. (I Sam. 4:2.) So that he forsook the tabernacle of 
Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men. (Ps. 78:60.) 

j. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel, assembled 
together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. 
And the land was subdued before them. (Josh. 18:1.) And. they found 



among the inhabitants of. Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, 
that had known no man by lying with any male; and they brought them 
unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. (Jud. 21:12.)

19 Yet there is both straw and 'provender 
for our asses; and there is bread and wine 
also for rne, and for thy handmaid, and for the 
young man which is with thy servants: there 
is no want of any thing. 

20 And the old man said, c Peace be with 
thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; 
only lodge not in the street. 

21 So he brought him into his house, and 
gave 3 provender unto the asses: and they 
washed their feet, and did eat and drink. 

22 If Now as they were making their hearts 
merry, behold, the men of the city, certain 
sons of Be'li'al, beset the house round about, 
and beat at the door, and spake to the master 
of the house, the old man, saying, 4 Bring ^forth 
the man that came into thine house, that we 
may 'know him. 

23 And the man, the master of the house, 
went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, 
my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wick- 
edly; seeing that this man is come into mine 
house, do not this folly. 

24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, 
and his concubine; them I will bring out now, 
and humble ye them, and do with them what 
seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do 
not so vile a thing. 

25 But the men would not hearken to him: 
so the man took his concubine, and brought 
her forth unto them; and they knew her, and 
abused her all the night until the morning: 
and when the day began to spring, they let* 
her go. 

26 Then came the woman in the dawning of 
the day, and fell down at the door of the man's 
house where her lord was, till it was light. 

27 And her lord rose up in the morning, 
and opened the doors of the house, and went 
out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his 
concubine was fallen down at the door of the 
house, and her hands were upon the threshold. 

28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be 
going. But none answered. Then the man 
took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, 
and gat him unto his place. 

29 1 And when he was come into his house, 
he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, 
and c divided her, together with her 3 bones, into 
twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts 
of Is'ra-el. 

30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, 
There was no such deed done nor seen from 
the day that the children of Is'ra-el came up 
out of the land of E'gypt unto this day: con- 
sider of it, 'take advice, and speak your minds.

and the congregation was gathered together 
as one man, from Dan even to Be'er-she'ba, 
with the land of Gil'e-ad, unto the a Lord in 
Miz'peh. 

2 And the chief of all the people, even of 
all the tribes of Is'ra-el, presented themselves 
in the assembly of the people of God, four 
hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. 

3 (Now the children of Ben'ja-min heard 
that the children of Is'ra-el were gone up to 
Miz'peh.) Then said the children of Is'ra-el, 
Tell us, how was this wickedness? 

4 And the Le'vite, the husband of the 
woman that_ was slain, answered and said, I 
came into Gib'e-ah that belongeth to Ben'ja- 
min, I and my concubine, to lodge. 

5 And the men of Gib'e-ah rose against me, 
and beset the house round about upon me by 
night, and thought to have slain me: and "my 
concubine have they forced, that she is dead. 

6 And 6 I took my concubine, and cut her in 
pieces, and sent her throughout all the country 
of the inheritance of Is'ra-el: for they c have 
committed lewdness and folly in Is'ra-el. 

7 Behold, ye are ail children of Is'ra-el; 
d give here your advice and counsel. 

8 11 And all the people arose as one man, 
saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, 
neither will we any of us turn into his house. 

9 But now this shall be the thing which we 
will do to Gib'e-ah; we will go up by lot 
against it; 

10 And we will take ten men of an hundred 
throughout all the tribes of is'ra-el, and an 
hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of 
ten thousand, to fetch victual for the_people, 
that they may do, when they come to Gib'e-ah 
of Ben'ja-min, according to all the folly that 
they have wrought in Is'ra-el. 

11 So all the men of Is'ra-el were gathered 
against the city, knit together as one man. 

12 f-And the tribes of Is'ra-el sent men 
through all the tribe of Ben'ja-min, saying, 
What wickedness is this that is done among 
you? 

13 Now therefore deliver us the men, the 
children of Be'li-al, which are in Gib'e-ah, that 
we may put them to death, and c put away evil 
from Is'ra-el. But the children of Ben'ja-min 
would not hearken to the voice of their breth- 
ren the children of is'ra-el : 

14 But the children of Ben'ja-min gathered 
themselves together out of the cities unto Gib'- 
e-ah, to go out to battle against the children' 
of Is'ra-el. 

15 And the children of Ben'ja-min were 
numbered at that time out of the cities twenty 
and six thousand men that drew sword, beside 
the inhabitants of Gib'e-ah,- which were num- 
bered seven hundred chosen men. 

16 Among all this people there were seven 
hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one 
could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not 
miss.

together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. 
And the land was subdued before them. (Josh. 18:1.) 

c. Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, 
hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he 
brought Simeon out unto them. (Gen. 43:23.) And the Lord said unto 
him, Peace be unto thee; fear not; thou shalt not die. (Jud. 6:23.) 

d. And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the 
men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us that we 
may know them. (Gen. 19:5.) For this cause God gave them up unto 
vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into 
that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the 
natural use of a woman, burned in their lust. one toward another; men 
with men "working that which is unseemly, and receiving in them- 
selves that recompence of their error which was meet. (Rom. 1:26, 27.) 

e. And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and 
sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel, by the hands of mes- 
sengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after 
Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the Lord 
tell on the people, and they came out with one consent. (I Sam. 11:7.) 

f. Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and 
counsel. (Jud. 20:7.) Only by pride cometh contention: but with the 
well advised is wisdom (Prov. 13:10.)

c. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard 
it; and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he 
had wrought folly in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which 
thing ought not to be done. (Gen. 34:7.) And it shall be that he that is 
taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that 
he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and 
because he hath wrought folly in Israel. (Josh. 7:15.) 

d. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: 
for all the earth is mine. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, 
and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto 
the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the 
people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord com- 
manded him. And all the people answered together and said. All that 
the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the 
people unto the Lord. And the Lord said unto Moses. Lo. I come unto 
thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with 
thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people 
unto the Lord. (Ex. 19:5-9.) Only by pride cometh contention: but 
with the well advised is wisdom. (Prov. 13:10.)

men that drew sword : and these were men of 
war. 

18 If And the children of Is'ra-el arose, and 
went up to the house of God, and tasked Coun- 
sel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up 
first to the battle against the children of Ben- 
ja-min? And the 'Lord said, Ju'dah shall 
go up first. 

19 And the children of Is'ra-el rose up in 
the morning, and encamped against Gib'e-ah. 

20 4 And the men of Is'ra-el went out to 
battle against Ben'ja-min; and the men of Is'- 
ra-el put themselves in array to fight against 
them at Gib'e-ah. 

21 And the_ children of Ben'ja-min came 
forth out of Gib'e-ah, and destroyed down to 
the ground of the Is'ra-el-ites that day twenty 
and two thousand men. 

22 And the people the men of Is'ra-el en- 
couraged themselves, and set their battle again 
in array in the place where they put them- 
selves in array the first day. 

23 (And the children of Is'ra-el went up and 
wept before the 'Lord until even, and asked 
^counsel of the 'Lord, saying, 3 Shall I go up 
again to battle against the children of Ben'ja- 
min my brother? And the 'Lord said, Go up 
against him.) 

24 And the children of is'ra-el came near 
against the children of Ben'ja-min the second 
day. 

25 And Ben'ja-min went forth against them 
out of Gib'e-ah the second day, and destroyed 
down to the ground of the children of Is'ra-el 
again eighteen thousand men; all these drew 
the sword. 

26 If Then all the children of is'ra-el, and all 
the people, went up, and came unto the house 
of God, and wept, and sat there before the 
'Lord, and fasted that day until even, and 
offered "burnt ^offerings and peace 'offerings 
before the 'Lord. 

27 And the children of is'ra-el enquired ''of 
the 'Lord, (for the ark of the covenant of God 
was there in those days, 

28 And Phin'e-has, the son of E-le-a'zar, the 
son of Aar'on, stood before it in those days,) 
saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle 
against the children of Ben'ja-min my brother, 
or shall I cease? And the 'Lord said, Go up; 
for to morrow I will deliver them into thine 
hand. 

29 And is'ra-el set s liers *in wait round 
about Gib'e-ah. 

30 And the children of is'ra-el went up 
against the children of Ben'ja-min on the third 
day, and put themselves in array against Gib'- 
e-ah, as at other times.

against the people, and were drawn away from 
the city; and they began to smite of the peo-

pie, and kill, as at other times, in the high- 
ways, of which one goeth up to the house of 
God, and the other to Gib'e-ah in the field, 
about thirty men of is'ra-el. 

32 And the children of Ben'ja-min said, 
They are smitten down before us, as at the 
first. But the children of is'ra-el said, Let us 
flee, and draw them from the city unto the 
highways. 

33 And all the men of is'ra-el rose up out 
of their place, and put themselves in array at 
Ba'al-ta'mar : and the liers in wait of Is'ra-el 
came forth out of their places, even out of 
the meadows of Gib'e-ah. 

34 And there came against Gib'e-ah ten 
thousand chosen men out of all Is'ra-el, and 
the battle was sore: -'but they knew not that 
evil was near them. 

35 And the 'Lord smote Ben'ja-min before 
Is'ra-el: and the children of Is'ra-el destroyed 
of the Ben'ja 7 mites that day twenty and five 
"thousand and an hundred men : all these drew 
the sword. 

36 So the children of Ben'ja-min saw that 
they were smitten: for the men of Is-ra-el 
gave place to the Ben'ja-mites, because they 
trusted unto the 8 liers in wait which they had 
set beside Gib'e-ah. 

37 And the s liers %i wait hasted, and rushed 
upon Gib'e-ah; and the s liers in wait drew 
themselves along, and smote all the city with 
the edge of the sword. 

38 Now there was an appointed sign between 
the men of Is'ra-el and the s liers in wait, that 
they should make a great flame with smoke 
rise up out of the city. 

39 And when the men of Is'ra-el retired in 
the battle, Ben'ja-min began to smite and kill 
of the men of Is'ra-el about thirty persons: 
for they said, Surely they are smitten down 
before us, as in the first battle. 

40 But when the flame began to arise up out 
of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Ben'ja- 
mites looked behind them, and, behold, the 
flame of the city ascended up to heaven. 

41 And when the men of Is'ra-el turned 
again, the men of Ben'ja-min 'were amazed: 
for they saw that evil was come upon them. 

42 Therefore they turned their backs before 
the men of Is'ra-el unto the way of the wil- 
derness: but the battle overtook them; and 
them which came out of the cities they de- 
stroyed in the midst of them. 

43 Thus they inclosed the Ben'ja-mites 
round about, and chased them, and trode them 
down with ease over against Gib'e-ah toward 
the sunrising. 

44 And there fell of Ben'ja-min eighteen 
thousand men ; all these were men of valour. 

45 And they turned and fled toward the 
wilderness unto the rock of Rim'mon: and 
they gleaned of them in the highways five

with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's 
counsel? forbear: why shouidest thou be smitten? Then the prophet for-

Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before 
the plain: but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against 
him behind the city. (Josh. 8:14.) In the transgression of an evil man 
there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. (Prov. 29:6.) 
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, there- 
fore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. (Ecc. 
8:11.) Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from 
whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be 
able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which 
thou shalt not know. (Is. 47:11.) 

k. And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran 
as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the 
city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire. (Josh. 8:19.) 

1. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and be shall 
be holden with the cords of his sins. (Prov. 5:22.) The righteousness 
of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his 
own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: 
but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. (Prov. 
11:5, 6.) In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the 
righteous doth sing and rejoice. (Prov, 29:6.)

thousand men; and pursued hard after them 
unto Gi'dom, and slew two thousand men of 
them. 

46 So that all which fell that day of Ben'- 
ja-min were twenty and five thousand men 
that drew the sword; all these were men of 
valour. 

47 But six hundred men turned and fled to 
the wilderness unto the rock RIm'mon, and 
abode in the rock Rim'mSn four months. 

48 And the men of Is'ra-el turned again 
upon the children of Ben'ja-min, and smote 
them with the edge of the sword, as well the 
men of every city, as the beast, and all that 
came to hand : also they set on fire all the cities 
that thej* came to. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 The people bewail the desolation of Benja- 
min. 8 By the destruction of Jabesh-gilead 
they provide them four hundred wives. 16 
They surprise the virgins that danced at 
Shiloh. 

1 Now the men of Is'ra-el had sworn in 
Allz'peh, saying, There shall not any of us 
give his daughter unto Ben'ja-min to wife. 

2 And the people came to the house of God, 
and abode there till even before God, and lifted 
up their voices, and wept sore; 

3 And said, J Lord God of Is'ra-el, why is 
this come to pass in Is'ra-el, that there should 
be to day = one tribe lacking in Is'ra-el? 

4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
the people rose early, and a built there an altar, 
and offered 'burnt ^offerings and peace 'offer- 
ings. 

5 And the children of is'ra-el said, Who is 
there among all the tribes of Is'ra-el that 
came not up with the congregation unto the 
^ord? c For they had made a great oath con- 
cerning him that came not up to the Lord to 
Miz'peh, saying, He shall surely be put to 
death. 

6 And the children of is'ra-el repented them 
for Ben'ja-min their brother, and said, There 
is one tribe cut off from is'ra-el this day. 

7 How shall we do for wives for them that 
remain, seeing we have sworn by the ^ord 
that we will not give them of our daughters 
to wives? 

8 *~And they said, What one is there of the 
tribes of is'ra-el that came not up to Miz'peh 
to the ^ord? And, behold, there came none 
to the camp from Ja'besh-gil'e-ad to the as- 
sembly. 

9 For the people were numbered, and, be- 
hold, there were none of the inhabitants of 
JalDesh-gU'e^ad there. 

10 And the congregation sent thither twelve 
thousand men of the valiantest, and com- 
manded them, saying, Go d and 5 smite the in- 
habitants of Ja'besh-gil'e-ad with the edge of 
the sword, with the women and the children. 



Ch. 21. B. C. 1406. 



1. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



2. A fearful thought had now 
come upon them In their reflection 
that one tribe was lac-king and that 
Benjamin, the youngest, who was 
particularly dear to Jacob, their 
common ancestor. 



3. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood 
of grief or apprehension, to secure 
protection against threatened danger 
or disaster. 



4. A thanksgiving offering of one 
in the enjoyment of peace, an offer- 
ing of gratitude to God for blessings 
received. 



5. In attempting to remedy one 
calamity they cause another. It is 
to be observed that, in all this 
trouble, not once did they take coun- 
sel of Jehovah. 



11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, 
Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every 
woman that hath lain by man. 

12_ And they found among the inhabitants 
of Ja'besh-gil'e-ad four hundred young virgins, 
that had known no man by lying with any 
male: and they brought them unto the camp 
to Shi'loh, which is in the land of Canaan. 

13 And the whole congregation sent some 
to speak to the children of Ben'ja-min that 
were in the rock RIm'mon, and to call peace- 
ably unto them. 

14 And Ben'ja-min came again at that time; 
and they gave them wives which they had 
saved alive of the women of Ja'besh-gil'e-ad: 
and yet so they sufficed them not. 

15 And the people repented them for Ben'- 
ja-min, because that the : Lord had made a 
breach in the tribes of Is'ra-el. 

16 *^ Then the elders of the congregation 
said, How shall we do for wives for them that 
remain, seeing the women are destroyed out 
of Ben'ja-min? 

17 And they said, There must be an in- 
heritance for them that be escaped of Ben'ja- 
min, that a tribe be not destroyed out of 
is'ra-el. 

18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of 
our daughters: for the children of Is'ra-el 
have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth 
a wife to Ben'ja-min. 

19 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast 
of the ^ord in Shi'loh yearly in a place which 

I is on the north side of Beth '-el, on the east 
side of the highway that goeth up from Beth'- 
el to She'chem, and on the south of Le-bo'nah. 

20 Therefore they commanded the children 
of Ben'ja-min, saying, Go and lie in wait in 
the vineyards; 

21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of 
Shi'loh come out e to dance in dances, then 
come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you 
every man his wife of the daughters of Shi'- 
I5h, and go to the land of Ben'ja-min. 

22 And it shall be, when their fathers or 
their brethren come unto us to complain, that 
we will say unto them, Be favourable unto 
them for our sakes : because we reserved not to 
each man his wife in the war : for he did not 
give unto them at this time, that ye should 
be guilty. 

23 And the children of Ben'ja-min did so, 
and took them wives, according to their num- 
ber, of them that danced, whom they caught: 
and they went and returned unto their in- 
heritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt 
in them. 

24 And the children of Is'ra-el departed 
thence at that time, every man to his tribe 
and to his family, and they went out from 
thence every man to his inheritance. 

25 In those days there was no king in Is'- 
ra-el: f every man did that which was right in 
his own eyes. 



Chapter 21. 

a. And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt 
offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was entreated for the land, 
and the plague was stayed from Israel. (II Sam. 24:25.) 

b. For purpose and design of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

c. They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought 
against Sisera. (Jud. 5:20.) 

d. Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly 
the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the 
Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. (Jud. 5:23.) And 
he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them 
throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying. 
Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be 
done unto his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell on the people and 
they came out with one consent. (I Sam. 11:7.) 

e. And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel 



in her hand: and all the women went out after her with timbrels 
and with dances. (Ex. 15:20.) And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his 
house, and. behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels 
and with dances: and she was his only child: beside her he had neither 
son nor daughter. (Jud. 11:34.) And it came to pass as they came, 
when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the 
women came out of all cities of Israel singing and dancing, to meet 
king Saul, with tabrets. with joy, and with instruments of musick. (I 
Sam. 18:6.) Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young 
men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy and will 
comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow, fjer. 31:12.) 

f. Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this 
day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. (Dt. 12:8.) Jn 
those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of 
the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day 
all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of 
Israel. (Jud. 18:1.) 



THE BOOK OF 

RUTH 



NOTE— The Book of Ruth is universally recognized as one of the most beautiful, romantic Hebrew idylls of history. It bears the name of its gentle 
heroine whose spirit permeates each of its 85 verses. It comes as a transition paragraph between the bloody narratives of the Judges to the Introduction of 
the rise of the Israelitish monarchy. While its author and date of writing are unknown, still such expressions as the oath, 'The Lord do so to me and 
more also" (eh. 1:17) frequently used in the books of Samuel and the Kings and never elsewhere, suggest that the author of Ruth and the author on 
Samuel if not the same person, at least were contemporaries and must have written as late as the closing years of David's reign, 
the Bible, this little book is one of the most beautiful. Cassel says, "The S5 vs. of the book of Ruth enclose 



Of all the passages 
rden of roses as fragrant and full 



of myotic calyxes as those which the modern traveler still .finds blooming and twining about the solitary ruins of Israel and Moab, this side of Jordan and 
beyond." It displays in pure and charming form the beauty of home love. It teaches the power of friendship and exemplifies the strength of womanly 
virtue. It displays the beauty of a true love, and the reward of an honest devotion. It condemns not, neither does it blame, the well disposed Orpun 
though she turns back. It condemns not, neither does it reprove the anonymous relatives who refuse to marry Ruth; but, in contrast, it causes the 
brightness of the blessing of love that lights up the life of Ruth to become known. "Orpah is forgotten; the name of the superstitious kinsman is un- 
known, but Ruth is the grandmother of David." The Book of Ruth preaches not by deeds of mighty men of valor and war-inspired faith, such as Saul, 
Gideon and Samson, but by friendship mellowed with sincere love. It tells not of a prophetic woman, like Deborah, in whose breast burned the fires 
which quicken a nation to 'enthusiasm, but of a woman in whose heart ever existed the gentle flame of love for the household hearth, which sorrow, dis- 
tress and desertion can quench not but rather cause to flame the brighter. "Hence appears the design of this little book, to preserve from oblivion a 
most interesting narrative, to shed a tender and romantic lustre on David's ancestral history, and prophetically to indicate, by this adoption of a Gentile 
woman into the royal genealogy, the final breaking down, through the Messiah, of all national partition walls, so that Jew and Gentile, high and low, are 
joint heirs with Christ to a heavenly inheritance." 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Elirnelech driven by famine into Moab, 
dieth there. 4 Mahlon and Chilion, having 
married wives of Moab, die also. 6 Naomi 
returning homeward, 8 dissuadeth her two 
daughters in law from going with her. 14 
Orpah leaveth her, but Ruth accompanieth 
her. 19 They two come to Beth-lehem. 

1 ^ow it came to pass in the days when 
the fudges ruled, that there was u a famine 
in the land. And a certain man of Beth'-le- 
hem-ju'dah went to sojourn in the country of 
Mo'ab, he,' and his wife, and his two sons. 

2 And the name of the man was :: E-lim'e- 
lech, and the name of his wife 4 Na-6'mi, and 
the name of his two sons 'Mah'lonand 6 Chil'i- 
on, Eph'rath-ites of Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah. And 
they came into the country of Mo'ab, and con- 
tinued there. 

3 And 3 E-lim'e-lech Na-5'mi's husband died; 
and she was left, and her two sons. 

4 And they took them wives of the women 
7 of Mo'ab; the name of the one was 8 6r'pah, 
and the name of the other "Ruth: and they 
dwelled there about ten years. 

5 And Mah'lon and Chil'i-on died also both 
of them; and the "woman was left of her two 
sons and her husband. 

6 If "Then she arose with her daughters in 
law, that she might return from the country 
of M5'ab: for she had heard in the country 
of Mo'ab how that the 12 Lord had visited 6 his 
people in °giving them bread. 

7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place 
where she was, and her two daughters in law 
with her; and they went on the way to return 
unto the land of Ju'dah. 

8 And *Na-6'mi said unto her two daughters 
in law, Go, ''return each to her mother's house: 
the ,2 Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have 
dealt with the dead, and with me. 

9 The 12 Lord grant you that ye may find 
rest, each of you in the house of her husband. 
Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their 
voice, and wept. 

10 And they said unto her, Surely we will 
return with thee unto thy people. 

11 And 4 Na-o'mi said, Turn again, my 



Ch. 1. B. C. 1322-1312. 

1. Elirnelech and family are driv- 
en by famine into Moab and Elirne- 
lech dies there (vs. 1-5). 

2. A period of more than 3UU 
years, extending from the death of 
Joshua's generation unto the time of 
Samuel's resignation at Gilgal and, 
Saul's being made king. 

3. It is interesting to notice the 
meaning of the names of this family. 
Elirnelech. My God a king. 

4. Naomi, my pleasantness. 

5. Means sickliness. 

6. Means consumption. 

7. In the marriage of Ruth, the 
Gentile Moabite, to Mahlon. the 
Bethlehemite, a Gentile woman is 
adopted into the family from which 
Christ had his human lineage, thus 
typifying the reception of the Gen- 
tiles into the kingdom of the Mes- 
siah. 

8. Daughter-in-law of Naomi, who 
remained with her kindred in Moah, 
when Naomi went to her own coun 
try. 

9. A Moabitish woman who mar- 
ries into the stock of Israel, after 
the death of her husband, also of her 
husband's brother and father. 
Naomi, her mother-in-law, resolves 
to go back into her own country. 
Ruth remains true to the laws of the 
time and accompanies her mother-in- 
law on her homeward journey. She 
accordingly arrives at Bethlehem 
with her mother, where in the ex- 
tremity of want she goes to the har- 
vest fields of Boaz to glean after the 
reapers. Boaz was a wealthy kins- 
man of her husband whose duty it 
became, according to the laws of 
his people, to marry Ruth, which by 
a little successful strategy was 
brought about. 

Ruth stands in scripture as the 
embodiment of true filial love. 

10. She was the only one left of 
the family which came from Bethle- 
hem. 

11. Vs. 6-22 relate the trial of 
Ruth's filial devotion and her return 
to Bethlehem with Naomi. 

12. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

13. She would not forsake her, 
because of her tender affection for 
her mother-in-law and because she 
desired to know more of the God of 
Israel. 

14. This reply of Ruth to Naomi 
is regarded as one of the tenderest 
and most beautiful passages in all 
literature. 

15. That is, bitter. 

16. The barley harvest of Beth- 
lehem is during the month of April. 



daughters: why will ye go with me? are there 
yet any more sons in my womb, c that they may 
be your husbands? 

12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; 
for I am too old to have an husband. If I 
should say, I have hope, if 1 should have an 
husband also to night, and should also bear 
sons; 

13 Would ye tarry for them till they were 
grown? would ye stay for them from having 
husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth 
me much for your sakes that the hand 'of the 
'"Lord is gone out against me. 

14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept 
again: and ''Or'pah kissed her mother in law; 
but ''Ruth "clave #unto her. 

15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law 
is gone back unto her people, and unto her 
gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 

16 And °Ruth said, Intreat "me not to leave 
thee, or to return from following after thee: 
for whither thou goest, I will go; and where 
thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be 
my people, and thy God my God: 

17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there 
will I be buried: the 12 Lord ''do so to me, and 
more also, if ought but death part thee and me. 

18 When she saw that she was stedfastly 
minded to go with her, then she left speaking 
unto her. 

19 11 So they two went until they came to 
Beth'-le-hem. And it came to pass, when they 
were come to Beth'-le-hem, that all the city 
was moved about them, and they said, ^Is this 
'Na-o'mi? 

20 And she said unto them, Call me not 
5 Na-5'mi, call me 15 Ma'ra : for the Almighty 
hath dealt very bitterly with me. 

21 I went out full, and the Lord hath 
brought me home again empty: why then call 
ye me Na-6'mi, seeing the Lord hath testified 
against me, and the Almighty hath afflict- 
ed me? 

22 So Na-o'mi returned, and Ruth the Md'- 
ab-it-ess, her daughter in law, with her, which 
returned out of the country of Mo'ab: and 
they came to Beth'-le-hem in the beginning of 
"barley harvest.

RUTH 



CHAPTER 2. 
1 Ruth gleaneth in the fields of Boaz. 4 Boaz 
taking knowledge of her, 8 sheweth her 
great favour. 18 That which she got, she 
carrieth to Naomi. 

1 "And Na-o'mi had a kinsman of her hus- 
band's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family 
of E-lim'e-lech; and his name was "Bo'az. 

2 And Ruth the Mo'ab-it-ess said unto Na-5'- 
mi, Let me now go to the field, and 'glean "ears 
of corn after him in whose sight I shall find 
grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daugh- 
ter. 

3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in 
the field after the reapers: and her 'hap was 
to_ light on a part of the field belonging unto 
Bo'az, who was of the kindred of E-lim'e-lech. 

4 II And, behold, Bo'az came from Beth'-le- 
hem, and said unto the reapers, 6 The Lord be 
with you. And they answered him, The Lord 
bless thee. 

5 Then said Bo'az unto his servant that was 
set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? 

6 And the servant that was set over the 
reapers answered and said, It is the M5'ab- 
It-ish damsel that came back with Na-o'mi out 
of the country of Mo'ab: 

7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean 
and gather after the reapers among the 
sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even 
from the morning until now, that she tarried 
a little in the house. 

8 Then said 2 B6'az unto Ruth, Hearest thou 
not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another 
field, neither go from hence, but abide here 
fast by my maidens: 

9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they 
do reap, and go thou after them: have I not 
charged the young men that they shall not 
touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto 
the vessels, and drink of that which the young 
men have drawn. 

10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed 
herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why 
have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou 
shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am 
a stranger? 

11 And : B6'az answered and said unto her, 
It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou 
hast done unto thy mother in law since the 
death of thine husband: and how thou hast 
left thy father and thy mother, and the land 
of thy nativity, and art come unto a people 
which thou knewest not heretofore. 

12 The "Lord Recompense thy work, and a 
full reward be given thee of the "Lord God of 
Is'ra-el, under d whose wings thou "art come to 
trust. 

13 Then she said, Let me find favour in 
thy sight, my lord; for that thou kast com- 
forted me, and for that thou hast spoken 
friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not 
like unto one of thine handmaidens.

Ch. 3, B. C. 1312. 

NOTE.— To perfectly understand 
this ch. it is necessary to consider 
the ancient custom and laws of Levi- 
rate marriages, so called from the 
Latin "Levir. " meaning a brother-in- 
law. The Mosaic law on this sub- 
ject is given in Dt. 25:5-10 and is 
in substance as follows: If a man 
dies and leaves no children, his 
brother -is under obligations to mar- 
ry the widow, and she has a legal 
right to demafid it of him, this obli- 
gation, however, not being absolutely 
binding upon him. If he refuses 
to marry her, he is tried before a 
counsel of the elders and publicly 
states his reasons for not w r anting to 
marry her, and then she unlooses his 
shoe from off his foot, and spits in 
his face, and says. "So shall it be 
done unto the man who w 7 ill not build 
up his brother's house." From the 
book of Ruth we see that the law 
was construed so that if there was 
no surviving brother, the obligation 
developed upon the next nearest male 
kinsman. By clear yet polite strat- 
egy. Ruth seeks to avail herself of 
this right with Boaz, her husband's 
kinsman. Ch. 3 narrates, her ap- 
peal to Boaz.

pily married again and obtain relief 
or rest from the sorrow and affliction 
which now encompass her. 



Ch. 3 B. C. 1312 

14 And Bo'az said unto her, At mealtime 
come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and 
dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat 
beside the reapers : and he reached her parched 
corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and 
left. 

15 And when she was risen up to glean, 
Bo'az commanded his young men, saying, Let 
her glean even among the sheaves, and re- 
proach her not: 

16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of 
purpose for her, and leave them, that she may 
glean them, and rebuke her not. 

17 So she gleaned in the field until even, 
and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was 
about an 7 ephah of barley. 

18 If And she took it up, and went into the 
city : and her mother in law saw what she had 
gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to 
her that she had reserved after she was suf- 
ficed. 

19 And her mother in law said unto her, 
Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where 
wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did p take 
knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother 
in law with whom she had wrought, and said, 
The man's name with whom I wrought to day 
is Bo'az. 

20 And Na-o'mi said unto her daughter in 
law, ''Blessed be he of the 5 Lord, who hath 
not left off his kindness to the living and to 
the dead. And Na-5'mi said unto her, The 
man is near of kin unto us, one of our next 
kinsmen. 

21 And Ruth the Mo'ab-it-ess said, He said 
unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my 
young men, until they have ended all my 
harvest. 

22 And Na-o'mT said unto Ruth her daugh- 
ter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou 
go. out with his maidens, that they meet thee 
not in any other field. 

23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Bo'az 
to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of 
wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in 
law. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 By Naomi's instruction, 5 Ruth lieth at 
Boaz' feet. 8 Boaz acknowledgeth the right 
of a kinsman. 14 He sendeth her away with 
six measures of barley. 

1 Then Na-5'ml her mother in law said unto 
her, My daughter, shall a I not seek I6 rest for 
thee, that it may be well with thee? 

2 And now is not Bo'az of our kindred, with 
whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he win- 
noweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. 

3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, 
and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee 
down to the floor: but make not thyself known 
unto the man, until he shall have done eating 
and drinking. 

4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that 



Chapter 2. 

a. And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not 
wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the 
gleanings of thy harvest. (Lev. 19:9.) When thou cuttest down thine 
harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not 
go again to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless and 
for the widow; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work 
of thine hands. (Dt. 24:19.) 

b. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him and said, The 
Lord is with thee, -thou mighty man of valor. (Jud. 6:12.) Wherewith 
the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 
Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon 
you; we bless you in the name of the Lord. (Ps. 129:7, 8.) Now the 
Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The 
Lord be with you all. (II Thes. 3:16.) 

C. For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? 
wherefore the Lord reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me 
this day. (I Sam. 24:19.) When thou makest a dinner or a supper, 
call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy 
rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made 
(Luke 14:12.) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance be- 
loii'.'i-th unto me, I will recompence, saith the Lord. And again, The 
Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

d. Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me under the shadow ol 
thy wings. (Ps. 17:8.) How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God! 



therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy 
wings. (Ps. 36:7.) Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the 
shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. (Ps. 63:7.) 

e. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him 
in time of trouble. (Ps. 41:1.) He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth: 
but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. (Prov. 14:21.) Then 
Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou 
lackest; go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, 
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross 
and follow me. (Mk. 10:21.) But to do good and to communicate for- 
get not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. (Heb. 13:16.) 

f. And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and 
said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have showed this 
kindness unto your Lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him. (II 
Sam. 2:5.) The blessing of him that was ready to perish came up-n 
me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. (Job 29:13.) Th- 1 
Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refroshr I 
me and was not ashamed of my chain. (II Tim. 1:16.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for thor" 
his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infic?i 
(I Tim. 5:8.) 

b. The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in 11k 
house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their 
voice and wept. (Ruth 1:9.)

thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, 
and thou shalt go in, and uncover his "feet, 
and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what 
thou shalt do. 

5 And she said unto her, All that thou say- 
est unto me I will do. 

6 H And she went down unto the floor, and 
did according to all that her mother in law 
bade her. 

7 And when BS'az had eaten and drunk, and 
°his heart was merry, he went to lie down at 
the end of the heap of corn: and she came 
softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her 
down. 

8 If And it came to pass at midnight, that 
the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, 
behold, a woman lay at his feet. 

9 And he said, Who art thou? And she 
answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread 
"therefore 5 thy skirt over thine handmaid; for 
thou art a near kinsman. 

10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, 
my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kind- 
ness in the latter end than at the beginning, 
inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, 
whether poor or rich. 

11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will 
do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the 
city of my people doth know that thou art a 
''"virtuous woman. 

12 And now it is true that I am thy near 
kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer 
than I. 

13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the 
morning, that if he will ''perform unto thee the 
part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kins- 
man's part: but if he will not do the part of 
a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of 
a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth : lie down 
until the morning. 

14 If And she lay at his feet until the morn- 
ing: and she rose up before one could know 
another. And he said, ?Let it not be known 
that a woman came into the floor. 

15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou 
hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she 
held it, he measured six measures of barley, 
and laid it on her: and she went into the city. 

16 And when she came to her mother in law, 
she said, Who art 5 thou, my daughter? And 
she told her all that the man had done to her. 

17 And she said, These six measures of 
barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not 
empty unto thy mother in law. 

18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, 
until thou know how the matter will fall : for 
the man will not be in rest, until he have fin- 
ished the thing this day. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Boaz calleth into judgment the next kins- 
man. 6 He refuseth the redemption accord- 
ing to the manner in Israel. 9 Boaz buyeth 
the inheritance. 11 He marrieth Ruth. 13 
She beareth Obed the grandfather of David.

2. An act which would be consid- 
ered immodest in this age, but not so 
according to the Levirate law. Ruth 
had the right to claim the favor of 
marriage with Boaz. therefore this 
act instead of being considered a 
compromise of virtue, was regarded 
as prudent and worthy of praise. 
(See vs. 10, 11.) 



3. That is, literally, "spread thy 
wing," meaning take in unto thee 
in the protection and intimacy of 
the marriage relation. 



4. That is, a woman of strength, 
of excellence and worth, in all vir- 
tuous relations. 



5. That is, under what circum- 
stances returnest thou the espoused 
of Boaz or in thy original state?" 



Ch. i. B. C. 1312. 

NOTE. — Closely connected with the 
Levirate law was the law of the re- 
demption of property, namely, the 
land of Israel belonged to 'ehovah, 
and he commanded that it should 
never be sold from his people, there- 
fore an inheritance was never al- 
lowed to pass into the hands of an- 
other family except for a period of 
time to terminate the next year of 
jubilee. If, because of poverty, one 
was compelled to sell a piece of land 
(as was Naomi, in v. 3) it was the 
duty of the nearest kinsman to re- 
deem it. However, he who redeemed 
it made the purchase only for the 
time set by the original purpose, 
i. e., to the next year of jubilee 
(Lev. 25:23-34); but, if the kinsman 
should buy the land and also marry 
the widow, then the land would pass 
to the offspring of that marriage. 
This ch. affords us a picture of an 
ancient court assembled unto the 
above mentioned law. Vs. 1-12 de- 
scribe the counsel at the gate of 
Bethlehem. 



1. According to the law in Num. 
27:8-11, the land never passed into 
the possession of a wife, hence Na- 
omi's selling was more of a rent for 
a set time, as according to the note 
at the beginning of this- ch.

him down there: and, behold, the kinsman 
of whom Bo'az spake came by; unto whom he 
said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. 
And he turned aside, and sat down. 

2 And he took ten men of the elders of the 
city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they 
sat down, 

3 And he said unto the kinsman, Na-5'mi, 
that is come again out of the country of Mo'ab, 
selleth a 'parcel of land, which was our brother 
E-lim'e'lech's: 

4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, 
Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the 
elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, 
redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then 
tell me, that I may know: for there is °none 
to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. 
And he said, I will redeem it. 

5 Then said Bo'az, What day thou buyest 
the field of the hand of Na-5'mi, thou must buy 
it also of Ruth the Mo'ab-it-ess, the wife of 
the dead, to raise up the name of the dead 
upon his inheritance. 

6 If And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem 
it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: 
redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot 
redeem it. 

7 Now this was the 'manner in former time 
in Is'ra-el concerning redeeming and concern- 
ing changing, for to confirm all things; a man 
2 plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neigh- 
bour: and this was a testimony in Is'ra-el. 

8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Bo'az, 
Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 

9 If 4 And Bo'az said unto the elders, and unto 
all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that 
I have bought all that was E-lim'e-lech's, and 
all that was Chil'i-on's and Mah'lon's, of the 
hand of Na-o'mi. 

10 Moreover Ruth the Mo'ab-it-ess, the wife 
of Mah'lon, have I purchased to be my wife, 
to raise up the name of the dead upon his in- 
heritance, c that the name of the dead be not 
cut off from among his brethren, and from the 
gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. 

11 And all the people that were in the gate, 
and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The 
3 Lord make the woman that is come into thine 
house like Ra'chel and like Le'ah, which two 
did build the house of Is'ra-el: and do thou 
worthily in Eph'ra-tah, and be famous in Beth'- 
le-hem : 

12 And let thy house be like the house of 
Pha'rez, whom Ta'mar bare unto Ju'dah, of 
the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this 
young woman. 

13 If So Bo'az took Ruth, and she was his 
wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord 
gave her conception, and she bare a son. 

14 And the ''women said unto Na-6'mi, 
Blessed be the "Lord, which hath not left thee 
this day without a kinsman, that his name 
may be famous in Is'ra-el. 

15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of 



c. And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them to- 
gether: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I 
pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry. (Jud. 
19:6.) Now Absalom had commanded his servants saying, Mark ye now 
when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you. Smite 
Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be cour- 
ageous and be valiant. (II Sam. 13:28.) 

d. Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy 
time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered 
thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with 
thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine. (Ez. 16:8.) 

e. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that 
maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. (Prov. 12:4.) 

f. If brethren -dwell together, and one of them die, and have no 
child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger; 
her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to 
wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. (Dt. 25:5.) 
Master, Moses said, If a man die,, having no children, his brother shall 
marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother. (Mat. 22:24.) 

g. Recompense no man evil for evil. Provide thing honest in the 
sight of all men. (Rom. 12:17.) Let not then your good be evil spoken 
of. (Rom. 14:16.) Give none offence, neither to the Jews nor to the 



Gentiles, nor to the church of God. (I Cor. 10:32.) Providing for honest 
things, not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the sight of men. 
(II Cor. 8:21.) Abstain from all appearance of evil. (I Thes. 5:22.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his 
possessions, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he 
redeem that which his brother sold. (Lev. 25:25.) 

b. And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let 
his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders and say, My hus- 
band's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he 
will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. Then the elders of 
his city shall call him and speak unto him; and if he stand to it, and 
say, I like not to take her. Then shall his brother's wife come unto 
him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, 
and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto 
that man that will not build up his brother's house. (Dt. 25:7-9.) 

c. And it shall he that the first-born which she beareth shall suc- 
ceed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not 
put out of Israel. (Dt. 25:6.) 

d. And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the Lord had 
shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. (Lu. 1:58.) 
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. (Rom. 
12:15.)

THE FIRST BOOK OF 

SAMUEL 



NOTE —The Books of Samuel may be said to consist of three interlaced biographies, viz. : Samuel, Saul, and David. The preceding Book of Judges 
treats of the affairs of the Israelites as they were administered after the conquest. The first Book of Samuel gives an account of the birth and call of 
Samuel. It describes the condition of the people at that time and then relates the election of Samuel as judge, his successful regency, the profligacy of his 
suns, the clamor for a change in the government, the installation of Saul as king and his rash and reckless character. Then is taken up the selection of 
David as king, his long and harassing experiences with Saul, and finally the defeat and death of Saul on the field of Gilboa. and the formal establishment 
of religious worship at Jerusalem, then the historian treats of the sad mistake of David's sin. of his repentance and re-acceptance into divine favor. As David 
was the real founder of the monarchy and arranger of the religious economy of his country, its great hero, legislator and poet, a large portion of the 
book is devoted to his life and works. The Books ot Samuel are more biographical than any of the other of the historical series of the Old Testament, but 
only so far as those biographies help to develop the theocratic element of the government. 



CHAPTER 1. 
The birth of Samuel. 

1 *Now there was a certain man of Ra- 
math-a'im-zo phim, of mount E'phra-im, and 
his name was "El'ka-nah, the son of Jer'o-ham, 
the son of E-li'hil, the son of To'hu, the son of 
Zuph, an Eph'rath-Ite: 

2 And he had = two wives; the name of the 
one was Hannah, and the name of the other 
Pe-nin'nah: and Pe-nin'nah had children, but 
Han'nah had no children. 

3 And this man went up out of his city 
yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the 
4 Lord of hosts in c, Shi'16h. And the two sons 
of "E'li, Hoph'ni and Phin'e-has, the priests of 
the 4 Lord, were there. 

4 1f And when the time was that El'ka-nah 
offered, he gave to Pe-nin'nah his wife, and to 
all her sons and her daughters, portions: 

5 But unto Hannah he gave a 'worthy por- 
tion; for he loved Han'nah: but the 'Lord had 
shut up her womb. 

6 And her "adversary also provoked her 
in sore, for to make her fret, because the 4 Lord 
had shut up her womb. 

7 And as he did so year by year, when she 
went up to the house of the 4 Lord, so she pro- 
voked her; therefore she wept, and did not 
eat. 

8 Then said : El'ka-nah her husband to her, 
Han'nah, why weepest thou? and why eatest 
thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am 
not I better to thee than ten sons? 

9 r So Han'nah rose up after they had eaten 
in "Shi'ldh, and after they had drunk. Now 
6 E'li the priest sat upon a seat by a post of 
the temple of the 4 Lord. 

10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and 
prayed unto the 4 Lord, and wept sore. 

11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O 4 Lord 
of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the af- 
fliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, 
and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give 
unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will 
give him unto the 4 Lord all the days of his 
life, and "there shall no "razor come upon his 
head. 

12 And it came to pass, as_ she continued 
praying before the Lord, that 8 E'1I marked her 
mouth. 

13 Now Han'nah, she spake in her heart; 
only her lips moved, but her voice was not 
heard: therefore E'li thought she had been 
drunken. 

14 And °E'1I said unto her, How long wilt 



Ch. 1. B. C. 1171. 

1. The first 12 chs. of Samuel are 
invaluable for the light they throw 
on the darkest period of the Hebrew 
history. In these clis. through the 
record of Eli's administration we 
are able to perceive much of the 
gloom, lawlessness and violence of the 
people. The book opens abruptly 
with the particulars of Samuel's 
birth. We find at the head of both 
the civil and ecclesiastical govern- 
ment a man far advanced in years 
whose name has not been previously 
mentioned. 

2. The husband of Hannah and 
father of Samuel; but little is known 
concerning him. although what has 
been said places him in a very favor- 
able light. He was a devout Levite 
aud a man of great wealth. 

3. The time and laws allowed 
such actions and custom sanctioned 
it. but the practice was always the 
occasion of domestic broils; p ilyg- 
amv has its origin with Lamech. 
(Gen. 4:19.) 

4. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

5. Shiloh is 13 miles north of Ra- 
mah ; here the tabernacle was located 
after the Israelites had driven the 
inhabitants out of the land. (Josh. 
18:1.) "And the whole congregation 
of the children of Israel assembled 
together at Shiloh and set up the 
tabernacle of the congregation there 
and the land was subdued before 
them." 

6. Eli is supposed to have been 
the first high priest of the line of 
Ithamar, youngest son of Aaron; he 
also served as civil judge after the 
death of Samson, which seems to 
have been the purpose of the Thei- 
cratieal institution, as Jehovah had 
made no provisions for a governor. 
Eli is said to have judged Israel 10 
years. - I Sam. 4:18. last clause of 
the verse. "And he had judged Israel 
40 years." 

8. That is. a double portion. 

9. That is. Peninnah, who was 
jealous of Hannah because of the 
many favors shown her. 

10. Tantalized her, by causing her 
sons and daughters to show off or 
parade before her. 

11. That is. the Nazarite vow, 
which could be taken for a certain 
period or for life. Samson and John 
the Baptist are supposed to be the 
only other examples of a Nazarite 
for life. 

12. That is, in the tabernacle. 

13. Worthlessness, lowness, wick- 
edness. 

14. That is. hear of God. Allud- 
ing to Jehovah's answer to Hannah's 
prayer. 

15. That is. asked of God. 

16. Vs. 21-28. Samuel dedicated to 
the Lord at Shiloh. 

17. That is. the Lord carry out 
and perfect the purpose begun in the 
life of the child. 

18. About one bushel. See Num. 
15:1-13, for the law of meat offering. 



thou be drunken? put away thy wine from 
thee. 

15 And Han'nah answered and said, No, my 
lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I 
have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but 
have 6 poured out my soul before 12 the Lord. 

16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter 
"of 'Be'li-al: for out of the abundance of my 
complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. 

17 Then "E'li answered and said, Go in 
d peace: and the 'God of Is'ra-el grant thee thy 
petition that thou hast asked of him. 

18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find 
grace in thy sight. So the woman went her 
way, and did eat, and her countenance was no 
more sad. 

19 11 And they rose up in the morning early, 
and worshipped before the 4 Lord, and returned, 
and came to their house to Ra'mah : and "El'- 
ka-nah knew Han-nah his wife; and the 4 LorJ 
'remembered her. 

20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the 
time was come about after Han'nah had con- 
ceived, that she bare a son, and called "his 
name "Sam'u-el, saying, Because I have asked 
him of the 4 Lord. 

21 10 And the man : El'ka-nah, and all his 
house, went up to offer unto the Lord the 
yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 

22 But Han'nah went not up; for she said 
unto her husband, I will not go up until the 
child be weaned, and then I will bring him, 
that he may appear ^before the "Lord, and 
there abide for ever. 

23 And El'ka-nah her husband said unto her, 
Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou 
have weaned him; only the 4 Lord establish his 
17 word. So the woman abode, and gave her 
son suck until she weaned him. 

24 f And when she had weaned him, she 
took him up with her, with three bullocks, 
and one ,s ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, 
and brought him unto the house of the 4 Lord 
in r 'Shi'loh: and the child was young. 

25 And they slew a bullock, and brought 
the child to "E'li. 

26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul 
liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood 
by thee here, praying unto the 4 Lord. 

27 For this child ''I" prayed; and the 4 Lord 
hath given me my petition which I asked of 
him: 

28 Therefore also I have lent him to the 
4 Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to 
the 4 Lord. And he worshipped the 4 Lord there. 



Ref. I Samuel. Chapter 1. 

a. All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor 
come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled in the which he sep- 
arateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy and shall let the locks 
of the hair of his head grow. (Num. 6:5.) 

b. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before 
him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. (Ps. 62:8.) Trust ye 'in the Lord 
for ever; for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. (Is. 26:4.) 
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had 
gone with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, with 
the voice of joy and praise, with the multitude that kept holyday. (Ps. 
42:4.) Turn you at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto 
you, I will make known my words unto you. (Prov. 1:23.) 

c. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what 
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what com- 
munion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with 
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (II Cor. 
G:14, 15.) 

d. And he said unto her, Daughter be of good comfort; thy faith 
hath made thee whole; go in peace. (Lu. 8:48.) 

e. Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy 



counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our 
God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions. (Ps. 
20:4, 5.) And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we 
ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. And if we know that 
he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions 
that we desired of him. (I Jno. 5:14, 15.) And in that day thou shall 
say, O Lord: I will praise thee; though thou wast angry with me. thine 
anger is turned away, and thou comfortest me. Behold, God is my sal- 
vation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my 
strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. (Is. 12:1, 2.) 

f. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins 
and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb. 8:12.) I have 
shown you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, 
and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more 
blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:35.) 

g. See ch. 2, v. 11. 

h. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) The eyes of the Lord 
are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. (Ps. 34:15.) 
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye 
will, and it shall be done unto you. (Jno. 15:7.) After these things

CHAPTER 2. 

1 Hannah's song in thankfulness. 12 The sin 
of Eli's sons. 18 Samuel's ministry. 22 Eli 
reproveth his sons. 27 A prophecy against 
Eli's house. 

1 And Han'nah a prayed, and said, My heart 
rejoiceth in the 2 Lord, mine horn is exalted in 
the "Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine 
enemies; because h l rejoice in thy salvation. 

2 There is none c holy as the : Lord: for 
there is none beside thee: neither is there any 
^•ock like our God. 

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let 
not arrogancy come out of your mouth : for the 
2 Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him 
"actions are weighed. 

4 The bows 4 of the mighty men are broken, 
and they that stumbled are girded with 
strength. 

5 They that were full have hired out them- 
selves for bread; and they that were hungry 
ceased: so that the barren hath bom °seven; 
and she that hath many children is waxed 
feeble. 

6 The "Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he 
bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. 

7 The "Lord d maketh poor, and maketh rich : 
he e bringeth low, and lifteth up. 

8 He 'raiseth up the poor out of the dust, 
and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, 
to set them among princes, and to make s them 
inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars 
of the earth are the : Lord's, and he hath set 
the world upon them. 

9 He will #keep the feet of his saints, and 
the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by 
''strength 7 shall no man prevail. 

10 The adversaries of the 2 Lord shall be 
broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thun- 
der upon them: the Lord i shall judge the ends 
of the earth; and he shall give strength unto 
his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 

11 s And El'ka-nah went to Ra'mah to his 
house. And the child did minister unto the 
2 Lord c 'before E'H the priest. 

12 U Now the sons of E'11 were sons of 10 Be'- 
li-al; ■'they knew not the 2 Lord. 

13 And the priest's custom with the people 
was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the 
priest's servant came, while the flesh was in 
seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in 
his hand; 

14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or 
caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought 
up the priest took for himself. So they did in 
"Shlloh unto all the Is'ra-el-ites that came 
thither. 



Ch. 2. B. C. 1165. 

NOTE. — Hannah's song and pray- 
er of this ch. constitute one of the 
four songs of thanksgiving uttered 
by women which are prophetic fore- 
shadowing of the universal deliver- 
ance and victory of Christ. This 
song, like the other three, viz., the 
song of Sarah on the birth of Isaac 
(Gen. 21:6. 7). the song of Miriam 
after the passage of the Eed Sea 
(Ex. 15:l-21j, and the song of the 
Virgin Mary (Luke l:46-5oj. should 
be read as prophetic, spoken under 
inspiration by Jehovah. 



Refuge, shelter. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 



God. 



3. That is. actions, whether good 
or evil is intended, are weighed. 



4. Heroes armed with the bow. 



5. Seven children, the number of 
fullness, perfection. 



6. Joseph. Gideon. Saul, David 
and Daniel are examples. 



By his own strength. 



S. Vs. 11-17 detail the wickedness 
of Eli's sou. It is interesting to ob- 
serve how the sacred writer has con- 
trasted in holy ministrations the 
worthlessness of Eli's sons and the 
virtue and piety of Samuel.

15 Also before they burnt the fat, the 
priest's servant came, and said to the man that 
sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; 
for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but 
raw. 

16 And if any man said unto him, Let them 
not fail to bum the fat presently, and then 
take as much as thy soul desireth; then he 
would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give 
it me now: and if not, I will take it by force. 

17 Wherefore the sin "of the young men 
was very great before the "Lord : for men ab- 
horred ; -'the offering of the Lord. 

18 r "But Sam'u-el ministered before the 
2 Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. 

19 Moreover his mother made him a little 
coat, and brought it to him from year to year, 
when she came up with her husband to offer 
the yearly sacrifice. 

20 If And E'li blessed El'ka-nah and his wife, 
and said, The 2 Lord give thee seed of this 
woman for the "loan which is lent to the 2 Lord. 
And they went unto their own home. 

21 And the 2 Lord visited Han'nah, so that 
she conceived, and bare three sons and two 
daughters. And the child Sam'u-el 'grew be- 
fore the 2 Lord. 

22 r Now E'11 was very old, and heard all 
that his sons did unto all Is'ra-el; and how 
they lay with the women that assembled at the 
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 

23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such 
things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all 
this people. 

24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report 
that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to 
transgress. 

25 If one man '"sin against another, the 
judge shall judge him: but if a man sin 
against the 2 Lord, who shall intreat for him? 
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the 
voice of their father, because the 2 Lord "would 
slay them. 

26 And the child Sam'u-el grew on, and was 
in °favour with the 2 Lord, and also with men. 

27 ^ 14 And there came a man of God unto 
E'li, and said unto him, Thus saith the Tl.ord, 
?Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy 
father, when they were in E'gypt in Pha'raoh's 
house? 

28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes 
of Is'ra-el to be my priest, to offer upon mine 
altar, to bum incense, to wear an ephod before 
me? and did I give unto the house of thy 
father all the offerings made by fire of the 
children of Is'ra-el? 



came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea: and there he tar- 
ried with them, and baptized. (Jno. 3:22.) If any of you lack wisdom, 
let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; 
and it shall be given him. (Ja. 1:5.) 
Chapter 2. 

a. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and sup- 
plication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 
(Phil. 4:6.) Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall 
be established. (Prov. 16:3.) 

b. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy 
salvation. (Ps. 13:5.) 

c. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like 
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Ex. 
15:11.) 

d. Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I re- 
turn thither; the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away: blessed be 
the name of the Lord. (Job 1:21.) Every good gift and every perfect 
gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with 
whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Ja. 1:17.) 

e. But God is the judge; he putteth down one, and setteth up an- 
other. (Ps. 75:7.) And he changeth the times and the seasons; he 
removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, 
and knowledge to them that know understanding. (Dan. 2:21.) 

f. This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand 
by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know 
that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to 
whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Dan. 
4:17.) He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous; but with kings 
are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they 
are exalted. (Job 36:7.) 

g. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in 
all thy ways. (Ps. 91:11.) The angel of the Lord encampeth round about 
them that fear him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) And saith unto 
him, If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He 



shall give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they 
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord 
thy God. (Mat. 4:6, 7.) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent 
forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 
1:14.) 

h. And Jonathan said to the young man that bear his armour, Come, 
and let us go over unto the garrison of these unc-ircumcised: it may be 
that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord 
to save by many or by few. (I Sam. 14:6.) 

i. Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the 
earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with 
his truth. (Ps. 96:13.) And I saw heaven opened', and behold a white 
horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True; and in 
righteousness he doth judge and make war. (Rev. 19:11.) 

j. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, 
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are 
not convenient. (Rom. 1:28.) 

k. But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to 
stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the 
Lord of hosts. (Mai. 2:S.) For the name of God is blasphemed among 
the Gentiles through you, as it is written. (Rom. 2:24.) 

1. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wis- 
dom; and the grace of God was upon him. (Luke 2:46.) 

m. But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be 
born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and 
that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Num. 15:30.) 

n. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way; and 
he that hateth reproof shall die. (Prov. 15:10.) 

o. So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of 
God and man. (Prov. 3:4.) For he that in these things serveth Christ, 
is acceptable to God, and approved of men. (Rom. 14:18.) 

p. The anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said. 
Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well.

29 Wherefore K 'kick ye at my sacrifice and 
at mine onering, which I have commanded in 
my 'maoitation ; and honourest thy sons above 
me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of 
all the offerings of Is'ra-el my people? 

30 Wherefore the "Lord God of Is'ra-el 
saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the 
house of thy father, should walk before me for 
ever: but now the "Lord saith, Be it far from 
me; for them that honour me 1 will honour, 
and they that despise me shall be lightly 
esteemed. 

31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off 
thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, 
that there shall not be an old man in thine 
house. 

32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my 
habitation, in all the wealth which God shall 
give is'ra-el: and there shall not be an old 
man in thine house for ever. 

33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not 
cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume 
thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all 
the increase of thine house shall die in the 
flower of their age. 

34 And this shall be *a sign unto thee, that 
shall come upon thy two sons, on Hoph'nl and 
Phin'e-has; in one day they shall die both of 
them. 

35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, 
that shall do according to that ivhich is in mine 
heart and in my mind: and t I will build him a 
sure house; and he shall ivalk before mine 
anointed for ever. 

36 And it shall come to pass, that every one 
that is left in thine house shall come and 
crouch to him for a piece of silver and a mor- 
sel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray 
thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I 
may eat a piece of bread. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 How the tvord of the Lord ivas first revealed 
to Samuel. 11' God telleth Samuel the de- 
struction of Eli's house. 15 Samuel telleth 
Eli the vision. 19 Samuel groweth in credit. 

1 And the child Sam'u-el ministered unto 
the 'Lord before E'li. And the word a of the 
'Lord was "precious in those days; there was 
no open vision. 

2 And it came to pass at that time, when 
Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes 
began to wax dim, that he could not see; 

3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the 
temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, 
and Sam'u-el was laid down to sleep; 

4 That the 'Lord called Sam'u-el : and he 
answered, Here am I. 



15. Despised, treated with con-

desecrate the holy service.

2. That is, precious or costly, 
meaning that direct revelations from 
Jehovah had. through the sinfulness 
of the priesthood, become very rare. 
As sin in the heart drives away the 
holy spirit, so in the Hebrew nation 
it drove away the spirit of proph- 
ecy. 



3. That is. did not know him in 
the way of receiving communications 
from him. 



5 And he ran unto E'li, and said, Here am 
I; for thou caliedst me. And he said, I called 
not; lie down again. And he went and lay 
down. 

6 And the 'Lord called yet again, Sam'u-el. 
And Sam'u-el arose and went to E'li, and said, 
Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he 
answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. 

7 Now Sam'u-el did not yet 3 know the 'Lord, 
neither was the word of the 'Lord yet revealed 
unto him. 

8 And the 'Lord called Sam'u-el again the 
third time. And he arose and went to E'li, 
and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. 
And E'li perceived that the 'Lord had called 
the child. 

9 Therefore E'li said unto Sam'u-el, Go, lie 
down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that 
thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant 
heareth. So Sam'u-el went and lay down in 
his place. 

10 And the J Lord came, and stood, and 
called as at other times, Sam'u-el, Sam'u-el. 
Then Sam'u-el answered, ^Speak; for thy serv- 
ant heareth. 

11 H And the 'Lord said to Sam'u-el, Behold, 
I will do a thing in Is'ra-el, at which both the 
ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. 

12 In that day I will perform against c E'li 
all things which I have spoken concerning his 
house : when I begin, I will *lso make an end. 

13 For I have told "him that I will judge his 
house for ever for the iniquity which he know- 
eth; because his sons made themselves vile, 
and he restrained them not. 

14 And therefore I have sworn_ unto the 
house of E'li, that the iniquity of E'li's house 
f7 shall not be purged witn sacrifice nor offering 
for ever. 

15 H And Sam'u-el lay until the morning, 
and opened the doors of the house of the 'Lord. 
And Sam'u-el feared to shew E'li the vision. 

16 Then E'li called Sam'u-el, and said, Sam'- 
u-el, my son. And he answered, Here am I. 

17 And he said, What is the thing that the 
'Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide 
it not from me: God do so to thee, and more 
also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the 
things that he said unto thee. 

18 And Sam'u-el told him every whit, and 
hid nothing from him. And he said, e It is the 
'Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. 

19 IT And Sam'u-el grew, and the Lord was 
with him, fand did let none of his words fall 
to the ground. 

20 And all Is'ra-el from Dan even to Be'er- 
she'ba knew that Sam'u-el was established to 
be a prophet of the 'Lord. 



And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee; and when he seeth 
thee he will be glad in his heart. (Ex. 4:14.) 

q. But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out 
of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall 
ve seek, and thither thou shalt come. (Dt. 12:5.) That thou shalt take 
of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy 
land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, 
and shalt go unto the place -which the Lord thy God shall choose to 
place his name there. (Dt. 26:2.) 

r. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; accord- 
ing to the cleanness of my tands hath he recompensed me. (Ps. 18:20.) 
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the 
cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. (II Sam. 22:21.) 
Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the 
people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in 
the law. (Mai. 2:9.) 

s. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of 
the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; and it shall be to the Lord 
for a name, for an everlasting sign it shall not be cut off. (Is. 55:13.) 
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man ap- 
proved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which 
God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know. (Acts 
2:22.) 

t. And since the time that I -ommanded judges to be over my peo- 
ple Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also 
the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. (II Sam. 7:11.) 
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and 
wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my 
statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will 
be with thee and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will 
give Israel unto thee. (I Ks. 11:38.) 



Chapter 3. 

a. We see not our signs; there is no more any profit; neither is 
there among us any that knoweth how long. (Ps. 71:9.) Behold, the days 
come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a 
famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of 
the Lord. (Amos 8:11.) 

b. And he, trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what wilt thou 
have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the 
city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. (Acts 9:6.) And the 
people asked him, saying, What shall we then do? (Luke 3:10.) Now 
when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto 
Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall 
we do? (Acts 2:37.) 

c. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy 
house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; 
but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I 
will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. (I 
Sam. 2:30.) The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; 
according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. (Ps. 
18:20.) 

d. The soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born 
in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that 
soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Num. 15:30.) 

e. Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I re- 
turn thither; the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken awav: blessed 
be the name of the Lord. (Job 1:21.) I was dumb, I opened not my 
mouth; because thou didst it. (Ps. 39:9.) Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, 
Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said more- 
over, For there shall be peace and truth in my days. (Is. 39:8.) 

f. And he said unto them. Behold now, there is in this city a man of 
God, and he is an honorable man; all that he saith cometh surely to 
pass; now let us go thither; peradventure he can show us our way thai 
we should go. (I Sam. 9:6.)

1 The Israelites are overcome by the Philis- 
tines at Eben-ezer. 3 1 key fetch the ark 
j the terror of the Philistines. 10 They 
are smitten again, the ark taken, Hophni 
and Phinehas are slain. 12 Eli, falling back- 
ward, breaketh his neck. 19 Phinehas' wife, 
discouraged in her travail with Ichabod, 
dieth. 

1 And the word "of Sam'u-el came to all 
Is'ra-el. Now Is'ra-el went out against the 
Phi-lis tines to battle, and pitched beside Eb'- 
en-e'zer: and the Phi-lis'tines pitched in 
A'phek. 

2 And the Phi-lis'tines put themselves in 
array against Is'ra-el: and when they joined 
battle, Is'ra-el was smitten before the Phi- 
listines: and they slew of the army in the 
field about four thousand men. 

3 *~ And when the people were come into 
the camp, the elders of Is'ra-el said, Where- 
fore hath the : Lord smitten us to day before 
the Phi-lis'tines? Let us fetch the ark of the 
covenant of the 'Lord out of 'Shi loh unto us, 
that, when it cometh among us, it may save 
us out of the hand of our enemies. 

4 So the peopl% sent to "Shiloh, that they 
might bring from thence the ark of the cov- 
enant of the ; Lord of hosts, which dwell eth 
between c the cherubim : and the two sons of 
Eli, Hophni and Phin'e-has, were there with 
the ark of the covenant of God. 

•5 And when the ark of the covenant of the 
E Lord came into the camp, all Is'ra-el shouted 
with a great shout, so that the earth rang 
again. 

6 And when the Phi-lis'tines heard the noise 
of the shout, they said, What meaneth the 
noise of this great shout in the camp of the 
Hebrews? And they understood that the ark 
of the r Lord was come into the camp. 

7 And the Phi-lis'tines were afraid, for they 
said, God is come into the camp. And they 
said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been 
such a thing heretofore. 

8 Woe unto as ! who shall deliver us out 
of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are 
the Gods that smote the E'gyp'tians with all 
the plagues in the "wilderness. 

9 Be strong, b and quit yourselves like men. 
O ye Phi-lis'tines, that ye be not servants unto 
the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit 
vourselves like men, and nght. 

10 *"And the Phi-lis'tines fought, and Is'- 
ra-el c was smitten, and they fled every man 
into his tent: and there was a very great 
slaughter; for there fell of Is'ra-el thirty thou- 
sand footmen. 

11 And the ark of God was taken; and the 
two sons of Eli, Hoph'ni and Phin'e-has, were 
slain. 



Ch. 4. B. C. 1141. 

1. This eh. gives the result of sin 
in the priesthood which is directly re- 
sponsible for the downfall of Eli's 

:;d the loss of the ark. Thus 
is shown to the Israelites thvir own 
petty weakness. Through sia they 
had grieved God and he withdrew 
from them. And now they are learn- 
ing the lesson that amidst unrestrain- 
ed wickeduess of the people and a 
profligate priesthood. Jehovah would 
even : rsake the sacred symbols, for. 
though they held the ark. Jehovah 
was not in their midst. 

2. Transposed, "now the word of 
Samuel came to all Israel and all Is- 
rael went out," etc. 

3. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

4. Thirteen miles north of Ramah. 
the place where the tabernacle was 
set np after the Israelites had driven 
the inhabitants out of the land. 

5. Vs. 12-22, Eli hears the sad 
news of calamity. Eli. now 91 years 
old. has gone out to the wayside to 
catch the first news of the battle 
field. He hears "the ark of God is 
taken." his sorrow-stricken heart 
gives way under the strain and the 
venerable priest and judge falls back- 
ward and breaks his neck. 

6. TJsual signs of grief and ca- 
lamity. 

7. A "beautiful passage of Hebrew 
literature, each thought rising in in- 
tensity until the thrilling climax is 
reached. 

S. The capture of the ark here re- 
corded is called "the captivity of 
the land." being so intimately con- 
nected as it was in the theocratic 
government of the land. 

9. That is, where is the glory? 

Ch. 5. B. C. 1141. 

NOTE. — In eh. 5 we are given the 
reasons why Jehovah allowed the ark 
to be captured by the Philistines. 
The capture served a double purpose. 
First, to convince the Israelites that 
the reason Jehovah had removed his 
presence from among them was their 
great wickedness. Second, to con- 
vince the rejoicing, idol-worshiping 
Philistines who had captured it that 
God was mightier than their heathen 
idols. With great rejoicing they 
carried the ark into the presence of 
Dagon, their chief heathen deity, as 
much as to say. "Our god is might- 
ier than the mighty God- of Israel." 
But no sooner was the ark brought 
into the presence of their gods than 
they all fell down and were broken, 
and terrible plagues visited the 
heathen worshipers. Hence, it was 
being shown to the heathen Philis- 
tines that Jehovah's power was not 
in sword or strength of army, but 
in the ark alone, the mere symbol of 
his presence. 

1. A distance of nearly 30 miles. 

2. One of the chief cities of Phi- 
listia and a principal place of the 
worship of Dagon. 

3. The ark was thus placed be- 
fore Dagon as a dedicatory offering 
to the heathen god. 

4. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God.

A fulfilling of Is. 19:1. 



"Be- 
hold the Lord rideth upon a swift 
cloud and shall come into Egypt, and 
the idols of Egypt shall be moved 
at his presence and the heart of 
Egypt shall melt in the midst of it." 



12 r : °And there ran a man of Ben'ja-min out 
of the army, and came to 'Shi loh the same day 
with his clothes rent, and d with eartn upon his 
head. 

13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a 
seat by the wayside watching: for his heart 
trembled for the ark of God. And when the 
man came into the city, and told it, all the 
city cried out. 

14 And when Eli heard the noise of the cry- 
ing, he said, What meaneth the noise of this 
tumult? And the man came in hastily, and 
told Eli. 

15 Xow E'li was ninety and eight years old; 
and his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 

16 And the man said unto E li, I am he 
that came out of the army, and I fled to day 
out of the army. And he said, What is there 
done, my son? 

17 And the messenger answered and said, 
7 Is'ra-el is fled before the Phi-lis'tines, and 
there hath been also a great slaughter among 
the people, and thy two sons also, Hoph'ni and 
Phin'e-has, are dead, and the ark 'of God is 
taken. 

18 And it came to pass, when he made men- 
tion of the ark of God, that he fell from off 
the seat backward by the side of the gate, and 
his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old 
man, and heavy. And he had judged is'ra-el 
forty years. 

19 r And his daughter in law, Phin'e-has' 
wife, was with child, near to be delivered: 
and when she heard the tidings that the ark 
of God was taken, and that her father in law 
and her husband were dead, she bowed herself 
and travailed; for her pains came upon her. 

20 And about the time of her death the 
women that stood by her said unto her, Fear 
not; for thou hast bom a son. But she an- 
swered not, neither did she regard it. 

21 And she named the child s lch'a-bod, say- 
ing, The glory is departed from Is'ra-el: be- 
cause the ark of God was taken, and because 
of her father in law and her husband. 

22 And she said, The glory is departed from 
Is'ra-el : for the ark of God is taken. 

CHAPTER 5. 

Dagon falleth before the ark. 

1 And the Phi-lis'tines took the ark of God, 
and brought 2 it from Eb'en-e'zer unto 2 Ash'dod. 

2 When the Phi-lis tines took the ark of 
God, they brought it into the house of Da'gSn, 
and set it 3 by Da'gon. 

3 *~And when they of Ash'dSd arose early 
on the morrow, behold, Da'gon was fallen 
,J upon his face "to the earth before the ark of 
the 4 Lord. And they took Da'gon, and set 
him in his place again. 

4 And when they arose early on the mor- 
row morning, behold, Da'gon was fallen upon 
his face to the ground before the ark of the 
4 Lord; and the head *of Da'gon and both the 
palms of his hands were cut off upon the 



%. God. who at sundry times and in divers manners spate in time 

pastT unto the fathers by the prophets. (Heb. 1:1.) And he said. Hear 

my words: if there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make 

myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream 

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not 

in dark speeches: and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: 

wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against mv servant Moses? 

(Num. 12:5. 8.) 

Chaj 

a. And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work 
shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. And there 
[ will mc tee, and I will commune with thee from above the 
mercy seat, from between the two cherubim, which are upon the ark of 
the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment 
unto the children of Israel. (Ex Ej 5-22.) And when Moses was gone 
into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard 
the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was 
upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubim, and he 

unto him. (Num. 7 

b. Wat«-h ye, stand fast in the faith, quit vou like men, be strong. 
(I r- : 

' id I will set my face against you. and ye shall be slain before

to be smitten before thine enemies ; thou shalt go out one way against 
them, and flee seven wavs before them: and shalt be removed into all 
the kingdoms of the earth. (Dt. 28:25.) The children of Ephraim be- 
ing armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle (9). He 
gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his in- 
heritance. (Ps. 7S:9, 62.) 

d. And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face 
before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of 
Israel, and put dust upon their heads. (Josh. 7:6.) And it came to 
pass, that when David was come to the tcp of the mount, where he 
worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his 
coat rent, and earth upon his head. (II Sam. 15:32.) And when they 
lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not. they lifted up their 
voice, and wept: and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled 
dust upon their heads toward heaven. (Job 2:12.)

threshold; only the stump of Da'gon was left 
to him. 

5 Therefore neither the priests of Da'gon, 
nor any that come into Da'gon's house, tread 
on the threshold of 3 Da'gon in 2 Ash'dod unto 
this day. 

6 But the hand °of the 4 Lord was heavy 
upon them of Ash'dod, and he destroyed them, 
and smote them with "emerods, even Ash'dSd, 
and the coasts thereof. 

7 And when the men of 2 Ash'dod saw that it 
was so, they said, The ark of the God of Is'- 
ra-el shall not abide with us: for his hand is 
sore upon us, and upon Da'gon our god. 

8 They sent therefore and gathered all the 
lords of the Phl-lls'tines. unto them, and said, 
What shall we do with the ark of the God of 
Is'ra-el? And they answered, Let the ark of 
the God of Is'ra-el be carried about unto Gath. 
And they carried the ark of the God of is'ra-el 
about thither. 

9 And it was so, that, after they had car- 
ried it about, the hand c of the 4 Lord was 
against the city with a very great destruc- 
tion: and he smote the men of the city, both 
small and great, and they had 6 emerods in 
their secret parts. 

10 H Therefore they sent the ark of God to 
Ek'ron. And _ it came to pass, as the ark of 
God came to Ek'ron, that the Ek'ron-Ites cried 
out, saying, They have brought about the ark 
of the God of Is'ra-el to us, to slay us and our 
people. 

11 So they sent and gathered together all 
the lords of the Phi-lis'tinef, and said, Send 
away the ark of the God of is'ra-el, and let it 
go again to his own place, that it slay us not, 
and our people: for there was a deadly destruc- 
tion throughout all the city; the hand of God 
was very heavy there. 

12 And the men that died not were smitten 
with the 6 emerods: and the cry of the city 
went up to heaven. 

CHAPTER 6. 
I The Philistines take counsel how to send 
back the ark. 10 They bring it on a new 
cart unto Beth-shemesh. 19 The people are 
smitten for looking into the ark. 

1 And the ark of the 'Lord was in the coun- 
try of the Phi-lls'tme§ seven months. 

2 And the Phl-lis'tines "called for the priests 
and the diviners, saying, What shall we do 
to the ark of the 'Lord? tell us wherewith we 
shall send it to his place. 

3 And they said, If ye send away the ark 
of the God of Is'ra-el, send it not *empty;_but 
in any wise return him a ^trespass ^offering: 
then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known 
to you why his hand is not removed from you. 

4 Then said they, What shall be the f tres- 
pass offering which we shall return to him? 



6. Bloody dysentery or tumors. 



Ch. 6. B. C. 1140. 

NOTE. — As the ark had been a 
plague to the Philistines ever since 
they had captured it, many of them 
now wished to return it, while others 
were in a quandary as to the best 
thing to do. This ch. treats of the 
Philistines' desire and attempt to do 
something with it. 



1. 

God. 



Jehovah, the covenant-name of 



2. Offering when one had unwit- 
tingly trespassed against the ordi- 
nances of God. in respect to holy 
things or the rights of property. 



3. This method of transporting 
the ark was forbidden by Jehovah. 



They answered, Five golden emerods, and five 
golden mice, according to the number of the 
lords of the Phi-lis'tine§ : for one plague was 
on you all, and on your lords. 

5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your 
emerods, and images of your mice that mar 
the land; and ye shall d give glory unto the 
God of Is'ra-el: peradventure he will lighten 
c his hand from off you, and from off your 
gods, and from off your land. 

6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, 
fas the E-gyp'tians and Pha'raoh hardened 
their hearts? when he had wrought wonder- 
fully among them, did they not let the people 
go, and they departed? 

7 Now therefore make ^a new cart, and 
take two milch kine, on which there hath come 
no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and 
bring their calves home from them: 

8 And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it 
= upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, 
which ye return him for a ^trespass offering, 
in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it 
away, that it may go. 

9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his 
own coast to Beth-she'mesh, then he hath done 
us this great evil : but if not, then we shall 
know that it is not his hand that smote us; 
it was a chance that happened to us. 

10 IT And the men did so; and took two 
milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and 
shut up their calves at home: 

11 And they laid the ark of the 'Lord upon 
the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold 
and the images of their emerods. 

12 And the kme took the straight way to 
the way of Beth-she'mesh, and went along the 
highway, lowing as they went, and turned not 
aside to the right hand or to the left; and the 
lords of the Phi-lis'tine§ went after them unto 
the border of Beth-she'mesh. 

13 And they of Beth-she'mesh were reaping 
their wheat harvest in the valley: and they 
lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and re- 
joiced to see it. 

14 And the cart came into the field of J5sh'- 
u-a, a Beth-she'mite, and stood there, where 
there was a great stone: and they clave the 
wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt 
offering unto the 'Lord. 

15 And the Le-vites took down the ark of 
the 'Lord, and the coffer that was with it, 
wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them 
on the great stone: and the men of Beth-she'- 
mesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sac- 
rifices the same day unto the 'Lord. 

16 And when the five lords of the Phi-lis'- 
tine§ had seen it, they returned to Ek'ron the 
same day. 

17 And these are the golden emerods which 
the Phi-lis'tine§ returned for a c trespass offer- 
ing unto the Lord; for Ash'dod one, for Ga'za 



Merodach is broken in pieces: her idols are confounded, her images 
are broken in pieces. (Jer. 50:2.) And your altars shall be desolate, 
and your images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men 
before your idols (4). In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid 
waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be 
laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, 
and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. 
(Ezek. 6:4, 6.) 

c. Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the 
field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, 
and upon the sheep; there shall be a very grievous murrain. (Ex. 9:3.) 
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture is turned 
into the drought of summer. Selah. (Ps. 32:4.) For indeed the hand 
of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the host, 
until they were consumed. (Dt. 2:15.) But if ye will not obey the 
voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then 
shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your 
fathers. (I Sam. 12:15.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; now 
the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their en- 
chantments. (Ex. 7:11.) Then the king commanded to call the magi- 
cians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to 
show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 
(Dan. 2:2.) 

b. Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord 
thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened 



bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and 
they shall not appear before the Lord empty. (Dt. 16:16.) 

c. If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance in the 
holy things of the Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the 
Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by 
shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offer- 
ing. (Lev. 5:15.) 

d. My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and 
make confession unto him: and tell me now what thou hast done, hide it 
not from me. (Josh. 7:19.) Let them give 'glory unto the Lord, and 
declare his praise in the islands. (Is. 42:12.) Give glory to the Lord 
your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon 
the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the 
shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. (Jer. 13:16.) Then 
again called they the man that was blind and said unto him, Give God 
the praise; we know that this man is a sinner. (Jno. 9:24.) Fear God, 
and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come; and wor- 
ship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains 
of waters. (Rev. 14:7.) 

e. Remove thy stroke away from me; I am consumed by the blow 
of thine hand. (Ps. 39:10.) 

f. And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto 
them; as the Lord had said. (Ex. 7:13.) 

g. And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it 
out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah; and Uzzah and Ahio, 
the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. (II Sam. 6:3.)

18 And the golden mice, according to the 
number of all the cities of the Phi-lis tines be- 
longing to the five lords, both of fenced cities, 
and of country villages, even unto the great 
stone of Ahel, whereon they set down the ark 
of the Lord: which stone remain eth unto this 
day in the field of J6sh'u-a, the Beth-she'mite. 

19 *~ And ^he smote the men of Beth-she'- 
mesh, because they had looked into the ark of 
the "Lordj even he smote of the people fifty 
thousand and threescore and ten men: and 
the people lamented, because the 'Lord had 
smitten many of the people with a great 
slaughter. 

20 And the men of Beth-she'mesh said. Who 
is able to stand before this holy Lord God? 
and to whom shall he go up from us? 

21 r And they sent messengers to the in- 
habitants of Kir'jath-je'a-rim, saying. The 
Phi-lis'tines have brought again the ark of 
the 'Lord; come ye down, and fetch it up to 
vou. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 They of Kirjath-jearim bring the ark into 
the house of Abinadab. 2 After twenty 
years 3 the Israelites solemnly repent at 
Mizpeh. 7 The Lord discomfiteth the Phi- 
listines by thunder at Eben-ezer. 15 Sam- 
uel peaceably and religiously judgeth Israel. 

1 And the men of Kir'jath-je'a-rim came, 
and fetched up the ark of the 'Lord, and 
brought it into the house of "A-bin'a-dab in 
the hill, and sanctified s E-le-a'zar his son to 
keep the ark of the 'Lord. 

2 *And it came to pass, while the ark abode 
in Kir'jath-je'a-rim, that the time was long; 
for it was s twenty years: and all the house of 
Is'ra-el 'lamented after the 'Lord. 

3 r And Sam'u-el spake unto all the house of 
Is'ra-el, saying, If ye do ^return unto the 'Lord 
with all your hearts, then ^ut away the 
strange gods and s Ash'ta-roth from among you, 
and prepare c your hearts unto the 3 Lord, and 
d serve him only: and he will deliver you out 
of the hand of the Phi-lis'tines. 

4 Then the children of Is'ra-el did put away 
T Ba'al-im and 5 Ash'ta-roth, and ^served the 
Lord only. 

5 And Sam'u-el said, Gather all Is'ra-el to 
Miz'peh, and I will pray for you unto the 

Lord. 

6 And they gathered together to "Miz'peh, 
and "drew c water, and poured it out before 
the 'Lord, and fasted on that day, and said 
there, f We have sinned against the 'Lord. And 
Sam'u-el judged the children of Is'ra-el *in 
Miz'peh.

1. Samuel had made his sons as- 
sistant judges. Their administra- 
tion had been so pernicious and 
wicked that the people began to 
clamor for a king. This ch. is de- 
voted to a record of this time. They 
may also have had their fears that 
Samuel meant to make the judgeship 
hereditary in his family, which 
would have been agreeable to the Is- 
raelites if the sons had been as their 
father. but their wickedness bore 
heavily on the people and they de- 
sired to flee from it. hence they cry 
unto Samuel for a king. 



7 And when the Phi-lis'tines heard that the 
children of Is'ra-el were gathered together to 

Mizpeh, the lords of the Phi-lis'tines went up 
against is'ra-el. And when the children of Is'- 
ra-el heard it, they were afraid of the Phi- 
lis'tines. 

8 And the children of Is'ra-el said to Sam'- 
u-el, Cease ?not to cry unto the 'Lord our God 
for us, that he will save us out of the hand of 
the Phi-lis'tine§. 

9 r And Sam'u-el took a sucking lamb, and 
offered it for a "burnt ^offering wholly unto 
the J Lord: and Sam'u-el ^'cried unto the 'Lord 
for Is'ra-el; and the 'Lord heard him. 

10 And as Sam'u-el was offering up the 
''burnt offering, the Phi-lis'tines drew near to 
battle against Is'ra-el: but the 'Lord thundered 
with a great thunder on that day upon the 
Phi-lis'tines, and discomfited them; and they 
were smitten before Is'ra-el. 

11 And the men of Is ra-el went out of Miz'- 
peh, and pursued the Phi-lis'tines, and smote 
them, until they came under Beth '-car. 

12 Then Sam'u-el took a stone, and set it 
between Miz'peh and Shen, and called the name 
of it "Eb'en-e zer, saying, Hitherto hath the 
'Lord helped us. 

13 r So the Phi-lis'tines were subdued, and 
they came no more into the coast of Is'ra-el : 
and the hand of the 'Lord was against the 
Phi-lis'tines all the days of Sam'u-el. 

14 And the cities which the Phi-lis'tines 
had taken from Is'ra-el were restored to Is'- 
ra-el, from Ek'ron even unto Gath; and the 
coasts thereof did Is'ra-el deliver out of the 
hands of the Phi-lis'tines. And there was 
peace between Is'ra-el and the Am'or-ites. 

15 And Sam'u-el judged Is'ra-el all the days 
of his life. 

16 And he went from year to year in circuit 
to Beth '-el, and Gil'gal, and Miz'peh, and 
judged Is'ra-el in all those places. 

17 And his return was to Ra'mah; for 
there was his house; and there he judged Is'- 
ra-el; and there he ! 'built an altar unto the 
'Lord. 

CHAPTEPv 8. 
1 By occasion of the ill government of Sam- 
uel's sons, the Israelites ask a king. 6 Sam- 
uel praying, is comforted by God: 10 He 
telleth the manner of a king. 19 God will- 
eth Samuel to yield unto the importunity of 
the people. 

1 'And it came to pass, when Sam'u-el was 
old, that he made his sons judges over Is'- 
ra-el. 

2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; 
and the name of his second, A-bi'ah: they 
were judges in Be'er-sheha. 



h. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against TTzzah; and 
God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of 
God. (II Sam. 6:7.)

a. Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he 
will heal us: he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. (Hos. 6:1.) And 
the Lord shall smite Egypt; he shall smite and heal it, and they shall 
return even to the Lord, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall 
heal them. (Is. 19:22.) Let the wicked forsake his way and the unright- 
eous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will

mine ordinances, arid have not kept them. Return unto me. and I will

we return? (Mai. 3:7. i 

b. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with 
him. Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and 
change your garments. (Gen. 35:2.) Xow therefore fear the Lord, and 
serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your 
fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt: and serve

idolatry. (I Cor. 10:14.)

e. For we must needs die, and are as waters spilt on the ground 
which cannot be gathered up again: neither doth God respect any per- 
son; yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from

f. Xow in the twenty and fourth day of this month, the children 
of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackelothes. and earth 
upon them. And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all 
strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their 
fathers. (Neh. 9:1, 2.) And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, 
saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken 
our God. and also served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) We have sinned with 
our fathers, we have committed iniquitv, we have done wickedly. (Ps.

3 And his sons "walked not in his ways, but 
turned aside after 'lucre, 6 and took bribes, and 
perverted judgment. 

4 Then all the elders of is'ra-el gathered 
themselves together, and came to Sam'u-el unto 
Ea'mah, 

5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, 
and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make 
us a king to judge us like all the nations. 

6 r But the thing "displeased Sam'u-el, when 
they said, Give us a king to judge us. And 
Sam'u-el prayed c unto the °Lord. 

7 And the "Lord said unto Sam'u-el, Heark- 
en unto the voice of the people in all that they 
say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, 
but d they have rejected 'me, that I should not 
reign over them. 

8 According to all the works which they 
have done since the day that I brought them 
up out of E'gypt even unto this day, where- 
with they have forsaken me, and served other 
gods, so do they also unto thee. 

9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: 
howbeit yet protest, solemnly unto them, and 
shew them the manner of the king that ''shall 
reign over them. 

10 If And Sam'u-el told all the words of the 
"Lord unto the people that asked of him a 
king. 

11 And he said, This will be the manner of 
the king that shall reign over you: He will 
take your sons, and appoint them for himself, 
for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and 
some shall run before his chariots. 

12 And he will appoint him captains over 
thousands, and captains over fifties; and will 
set them to ear his ground, and to reap his 
harvest, and to make his instruments of war, 
and instruments of his chariots. 

13 And he will take your daughters to be 
confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be 
bakers. 

14 And he will take your fields, and your 
vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best 
of them, and give them to his servants. 

15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, 
and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, 
and to his servants. 

16 And he will take your menservants, and 
your maidservants, and your goodliest young 
men, and your asses, and put them to his 
work. 

17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: 
and ye shall be his servants. 

18 And ye shall cry out in that day because 
of your king which ye shall have chosen you; 
and the ,; Lord e will not hear you in that day.

obey the voice of Sam'u-el; and they said, 
Nay; but we will have a king over us;

and that our king may judge us, and go out

the Israelites had virtually rejected 
God's theocratic form of government 
for them and were clamoring for a 
king, not after the heart of Jeho- 
vah, but after the model of the 
heathen nations. Not for the pur- 
pose of following the will of Jeho- 
vah, but in the footsteps of heathen 
nations, were they seeking a king. 
Their rejection of God was complete, 
their punishment was terrible.

1. In this ch. Saul comes to the 
front and is introduced to us in vs. 
1-14, as hunting the asses of his fa- 
ther which had strayed from home; 
he is unable to find them and seeks 
Samuel; Jehovah reveals his coming 
to Samuel and makes known his ap- 
pointment as king (vs. 15-27). 



2. The first king of Israel, son of 
Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin. In 
the name of Jehovah, through Samuel 
as the instrument, Saul was early 
anointed king anil was commanded 
to go home and wait till the oppor- 
tunity presented itself for decisive 
action, then deliver his people. lb' 
did not have to wait long, as Na- 
hash, chief of Amnion, made war on 
the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead, and 
when they offered to surrender, no 
milder terms would be granted them 
than to bore out their right eye. 
The news reached Saul as he was re- 
turning home from his day's labor. 
He hastily sent a summons through- 
out the south and his people were 
stirred to action; thus Saul made 
war against Nahash and defeated 
him. The people now gladly hailed 
him as their, new leader and publicly 
crowned him as their new king. For 
several years Saul reigned with much 
success, but through a quarrel with 
Samuel the king lost the support of 
the latter and by his disobedience soon 
brought upon himself the prophecy 
of the fall of his house. He suc- 
cumbed to a melancholy mood and 
David, the young, skillful harp player 
of the sheep fold, was brought to the 
court to soothe the king, with the 
charms of music. But soon Saul be- 
comes jealous of David and many 
times makes attempts upon his life. 
The Philistines roused themselves to 
action and waged a bitter warfare 
against Saul. After much severe 
fighting, Saul having seen his army 
routed and his sons killed, fell upon 
his own sword, thus bringing to a 
close the reign of the first king of 
Israel, whose 40 years of leadership 
ended as ignominiously as it had be- 
gun auspiciously.

people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of 
the Lord. 

22 And the Lord said to Sam'u-el, Hearken 
unto their voice, and make them a king. And 
Sam'u-el said unto the men of Is'ra-el, Go ye 
every man unto his city. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 Saul despairing to find his father's asses, 
15 according to God's revelation, 18 Com- 
eth to Samuel. 19 Samuel entertaineth 
Saul at the feast. 25 Samuel bringeth Saul 
on his ivay. 

1 'Now there was a man of Ben'ja-min, 
whose name was Kish, the son of A-bi'el, the 
son of Ze'ror, the son of Be-ch5'rath, the son 
of A-phi'ah, a Ben'ja-mite, a mighty man of 
power. 

2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, 
a choice young man, and a goodly: and there 
was not among the children of Is'ra-el a good- 
lier person than he: from his shoulders and 
upward he was higher than any of the people. 

3 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were 
lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take 
now one of the servants with thee, and arise, 
go seek the asses. 

4 And he passed through mount E'phra-im, 
and passed through the land of Shal'i-sha, but 
they found them not : then they passed through 
the land of Sha'lim, and there they were not: 
and he passed through the land of the Ben'- 
ja-mites, but they found them not. 

5 And when they were come to the land of 
Ziiph, Saul said to his servant that was with 
him, Come, and let us return; lest my father 
leave caring for the asses, and take thought 
for us. 

6 And he said unto him, Behold now, there 
is in this city a a man of God, and he is an 
honourable man; all that he saith cometh 
surely to pass: now let us go thither; perad- 
venture he can shew us our way that we 
should go. 

7 Then said 2 Saul to his servant, But, be- 
hold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? 
for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there 
is not a present to bring to the man of God: 
what have we? 

8 And the servant answered Saul again, 
and said, Behold, I have here at hand the 
fourth "part of a shekel of silver: that will I 
give to the man of God, to tell us our way. 

9 (Beforetime in Is'ra-el, when a man went 
to 6 enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and 
let us go to the seer: for he that is now called 
a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.) 

10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; 
come, let us go. So they went unto the city 
where the man of God was. 

11 If And as they went up the hill to the 
city, they found young maidens going out to 
draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer 
here? 

12 And they answered them, and said, He

a. And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? 
yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and 
wherein I have shown myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity. 
(Ecc. 2:19.) Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? 
did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice and then 
it was well with hini? (Jer. 22:15.) 

b. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some 
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) And thou shalt take no gift: 
for the gift bindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 
(Ex. 23:8.) A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert 
the ways of judgment. (Prov. 17:23.) 

c. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine 
own understanding. (Prov. 3:5.) See g, ch. 7. 

d. And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved 
you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said 
unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present your- 
selves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands. (I Sam. 
10:19.) This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh 
to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord hear- 
eth your murmurings which ye murmur against him; and what are we? 



your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord. (Ex. 
16:8.) 

e. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of 
my reproof. (Prov. 1:25.) And when ye spread forth your hands I will 
hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers I will not 
hear; your hands are full of blood. (Is. 1:15.) Then shall they- cry 
unto the Lord, but he will not hear them; he will even hide his face 
from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their 
doings. (Mic. 3:4.) 

f. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon 
them; because when I called none did answer; when I spake, they did 
not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which 
I delighted not. (Is. 66:4.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed 
the children of Israel before his death. (Dt. 33:1.) And, behold, there 
came a man of God out of Judah, by the word of the Lord unto Bethel; 
and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. (I Ks. 13:1.) 

b. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy 
paths. (Prov. 3:6.) Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye 
upon him while he is near. (Is. 55:6.) And all things, whatsoever ye 
shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. (Mat. 21:22.) And what-

is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, 
for he came to day to the city; for there is a 
sacrifice of the people to day in the high 
place: 

13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye 
shall straightway find him, before he go up to 
the high place to eat: for the people will not 
eat until he come, because he doth bless the 
sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be 
bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about 
this time ye shall find him. 

14 And they went up into the city: and 
when they were come into the city, behold, 
Sam'u-el came out against them, for to go up 
to the high place. 

15 <I 4 Now the Lord had c told Sam'u-el in 
his ear a day before "Saul came, saying, 

16 To morrow about this time I will send 
thee a man out of the land of Ben'ja-min, and 
thou shalt ^anoint him to be captain over my 
people Is'ra-el, that he may save my people 
out of the hand of the Phi-lis'tine§ : for I have 
'looked upon my people, because their cry is 
come unto me. 

17 And when Sam'u-el saw "Saul, the 4 Lord 
said unto him, Behold, the man whom I spake 
to thee of! this same shall reign over my 
people. 

18 Then 2 Saul drew near to Sam'u-el in the 
gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the 
seer's house is. 

19 And Sam'u-el answered 2 Saul, and said, 
I am the seer: go up before me unto the high 
place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and 
to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee 
all that is in thine heart. 

20 And as for thine asses that were lost 
three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for 
they are found. And on whom is all the de- 
sire of Is'ra-el? Is it not on thee, and on all 
thy father's house? 

21 And "Saul answered and said, Am not I 
a Ben'ja-mlte, of the smallest of the tribes of 
Is'ra-el? and fmy family the least of all the 
families of the tribe of Ben'ja-min? wherefore 
then speakest thou so to me? 

22 And Sam'u-el took "Saul and his servant, 
and brought them into the parlour, and made 
them sit in the chiefest place among them that 
were bidden, which were about thirty persons. 

23 And Sam'u-el said unto the cook, Bring 
the portion which I gave thee, of which I said 
unto thee, Set it by thee. 

24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and 
that'which was upon it, and set it before Saul. 
And Sam'u-el said, Behold that which is left! 
set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time 
hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have 
invited the people. So 2 Saul did eat with 
Sam'u-el that day. 

25 H And when they were come down from 
the high place into the city, Sam'u-el com- 
muned with 2 Saul upon the top of the house. 

26 And they arose early: and it came to

pass about the spring of the day, that Sam'u-el 
called 2 Saul to the top of the house, saying, 
Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul 
arose, and they went out both of them, he and 
Sam'u-el, abroad. 

27 And as they were going down to the end 
of the city, Sam'u-el said to 2 Saul, Bid the 
servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) 
but stand thou still a while, that I may shew 
thee the word of God. 

CHAPTER 10. 

1 Samuel anointeth Saul. 2 He confirmeth 
him by prediction of three signs. 9 Saul's 
heart is changed, and he prophesieth. 17 
Saul is chosen at Mizpeh by lot. 

1 ! Then Sam'u-el took a vial of oil, and 
poured it upon 2 his head, and kissed him, and 
said, Is it not because the 3 Lord hath anointed 
thee to be captain over his inheritance? 

2 When thou art departed 4 from me to day, 
then thou shalt find two men by Ra'chel's sep- 
ulchre in the border of Ben'ja-min at Zel'zah; 
and they will say unto thee, The asses which 
thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy 
father hath left the care of the asses, and 
sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for 
my son? 

3 Then shalt thou go on forward from 
thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of 
Ta'bor, and there shall meet thee three men 
going up to God to Beth'-el, one carrying three 
kids, and another carrying three loaves of 
bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: 

4 And they will salute thee, and give thee 
two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive 
of their hands. 

5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of 
God, where is the garrison of the Phi-lis'tme§ : 
and it shall come to pass, when thou art come 
thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a com- 
pany of prophets coming down from the high 
place with a 'psaltery, and a "tabret, and r a 
pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall 
prophesy : 

6 And the °Spirit of the 3 Lord will come 
upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, 
and shalt be turned into another man. 

7 And let it be, when these signs are come 
unto thee, that thou s do as occasion serve thee; 
for God 6 is with thee. 

8 And thou shalt go down before me c to 
Gil'gal; and, behold, I will come down unto 
thee, to offer "burnt ''offerings, and to sacrifice 
sacrifices of I0 peace offerings : seven days shalt 
thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee 
what thou shalt do. 

9 If And it was so, that when he had turned 
his back to go from Sam'u-el, God gave him 
another heart: and all those signs came to 
pass that day. 

10 And when they came thither to the hill, 
behold, a company of c prophets met him; and 



soever ye shall ask in my name, that ■will I do, that the Father may be 
glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 
(Jno. 14:13, 14.) 

c. Samuel also said unto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee to 
be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto 
the voice of the words of the Lord. (I Sam. 15:1.) And afterward they 
desired a king; and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man 
of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. (Acts 13:21.) 

d. Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, 
and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee 
to be captain over his inheritance? (I Sam. 10:1.) 

e. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect 
unto them. (Ex. 2:25.) And the Lord said, I have surely seen the af- 
fliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by 
reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows (7). Now therefore, 
behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also 
seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppressed them. (Ex.

behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's

Chapter 10. 

a. And the Lord came down in a cloud and spake unto him, and 



took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy 
elders; and it came to pass that, when the spirit rested upon them, 
they prophesied and did not cease. (Num. 11:25.) Follow after charity, 
and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. (I Cor. 
14:1.) 

b. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, 
The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. (Jud. 6:12.) He hath 
not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in 
Israel; the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among 
them. (Num. 23:21.) Be strong and of a good courage, fear not nor be 
afraid of them; for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; 
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee (6). And the Lord, he it is that 
doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither 
forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. (Dt. 31:6, 8.) And, behold, 
God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding 
trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not 
against the Lord God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. (II 
Chr. 13:12.) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of 
death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff 
they comfort me. (Ps. 23:4.)

the Spirit of God came upon him, and he 
prophesied 'among them. 

11 And it came to pass, when all that knew 
him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophe- 
sied among the prophets,. then the people said 
one to another, What is this that is come unto 
the son of Kish? »Is "Saul also among the 
prophets? 

12 And one of the same place answered and 
said, But ''who is their father? Therefore it 
became a proverb, Is Saul also among the 
prophets? 

13 And when he had made an end of proph- 
esying, he came to the high place. 

14 If And "Saul's uncle said unto him and 
to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, 
To seek the asses: and when he saw that they 
were no where, we came to Sam'u-el. 

15 And "Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray 
thee, what Sam'u-el said unto you. 

16 And "Saul said unto his uncle, He told 
us plainly that the asses were found. But of 
the matter of the kingdom, whereof Sam'u-el 
spake, he told him not. 

17 1f 12 And Sam'u-el called the people to- 
gether unto the 'Lord to Miz'peh; 

18 And said unto the children of Is'ra-el, 
Thus saith the "Lord God of Is'ra-el, I brought 
up Is'ra-el out of E'gypt, and delivered you 
out of the hand of the E-gyp'tians, and out of 
the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that 
oppressed you : 

19 And ye have this day 'rejected your God, 
who himself saved you out of all your adver- 
sities and your tribulations; and ye have said 
unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now 
therefore present yourselves before the 3 Lord 
by your tribes, and by your thousands. 

20 And when Sam'u-el had caused •'all the 
tribes of Is'ra-el to come near, the tribe of 
Ben'ja-min was taken. 

21 When he had caused the tribe of Ben'- 
ja-min to come near by their families, the fam- 
ily of Ma'tri was* taken, and "Saul the son of 
Kish was taken : and when they sought him, 
he could not be found. 

22 Therefore they enquired of the 3 Lord 
further, if the man should yet come thither. 
And the Lord answered, Behold, he hath hid 
himself among the "stuff. 

23 And they ran and fetched him thence: 
and when he stood among the people, he was 
higher than any of the people from his shoul- 
ders and upward. 

24 And Sam'u-el said to all the people, See 
ye him whom the 3 Lord hath chosen, that there 
is none like him among all the people? And 
all the people shouted, and said, God save the 
king. 

25 Then Sam'u-el told the people the man-

1. Vs. 1-11 detail Saul's vic.tory 
over the Ammonites. Though there 
was a great popular demonstration 
at Saul's election as king at Mizpeh. 
the fact that he was allowed to go 
back to private life after Israel's 
great clamor for a king indicated 
that there was much dissatisfaction 
among the people over the election 
of their new king. lie was too 
young and inexperienced to know 
much of the nation; it was therefore 
very necessary that .he must perform 
some great feat to win their con- 
fidence and esteem. In this ch. he 
has this opportunity and proves him- 
self abundantly equal to the task.

ancient Scythians." says Lucian, 
"that when an individual was deeply 
interested or moved in a matter, to 
cut an- ox in two pieces and send 
it to those whom he expected to 
help avenge the wrong." So in this 
case, the very manner in which Saul 
summoned the people to prepare for 
battle with the Ammonites gave them 
courage and inspired thorn with con- 
fidence in the new king.

laid it up before the 3 Lord. And Sam'u-el sent 
all the people away, every man to his house. 

26 If And "Saul also went home to Gib'e-ah; 
and there went with him a band of men, whose 
hearts God had touched. 

27 But the children of /,: Be'li-al said, How 
shall this man save us? And they despised 
him, and brought him no presents. But he 
held his peace. 

CHAPTER 11. 

1 Nakash offereth them of Jabesh-gilead a re- 
proachful condition. 4 They send messen- 
gers, and are delivered by Saul. 12 Saul 
thereby is confirmed, and his kingdom re- 
newed. 

1 'Then Na'hash the Am'm5n-ite came up, 
and encamped against Ja'besh-gil'e-ad: and 
all the men of Ja'besh said unto Na'hash, Make 
a 6 covenant with us, and we will serve thee. 

2 And Na'hash the "Am'mon-ite answered 
them, On this condition will I make a h cove- 
nant with you, that I may thrust out all your 
right eyes, and lay it for c a reproach upon all 
Is'ra-el. 

3 And the elders of Ja'besh said unto him, 
Give us seven days' respite, that we may send 
messengers unto all the coasts of Is'ra-el : and 
then, if there be no man to save us, we will 
come out to thee. 

4 II Then came the messengers to Gib'e-ah of 
Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the 
people: and all the people lifted up their voices, 
and wept. 

5 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out 
of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the 
people that they weep? And they told him 
the tidings of the men of Ja'besh. 

6 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul 
when he heard those tidings, and his anger 
was kindled greatly. 

7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and 2 hewed ( ' 
them in pieces, and sent them throughout all 
the coasts of Is'ra-el by the hands of messen- 
gers, saying, 'Whosoever cometh not forth 
after Saul and after Sam'u-el, so shall it be 
done unto his oxen. And the ^fear of the 

Lord fell on the people, and they came out 
with one consent. 

8 And when he numbered them in ^Be'zek, 
the children of Is'ra-el were three hundred 
thousand, and the men of Ju'dah thirty thou- 
sand. 

9 And they said unto the messengers that 
came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Ja'- 
besh-gil'e-ad, To morrow, by that time the sun 
be hot, ye shall have help. And the messen- 
gers came and shewed it to the men of Ja'- 
besh; and they were glad. 



pointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, 
and they also prephesied. (I Sam. 19:20.) 

f. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into 
the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which 
is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in 
thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto 
them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Mat. 
7:21-23.) 

g. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and per- 
ceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and 
they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 
4:13.) 

h.. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall 
be the peace of thy children. (Is. 54:13.) The wind bloweth where it 
listeth, and thou nearest the sound thereof, but- canst not tell whence 
it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the 
Spirit. (Jno. 3:8.) 

i. And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the 
people in all that they say unto thee; for they have not rejected thee, 
but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. (I Sam. 
8:7.) 

j. In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your 
tribe; and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord taketh shall come 
according to the families thereof; and the family which the Lord shall 
take shall come by households; and the household which the Lord shall 
take shall come man by man. (Josh. 7:14.) Thou, Lord, which know- 
est the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen. 
(Acts 1:24.) 

k. Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among 



you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying. Let us 
go and serve other gods, which ye have not known. (Dt. 13:13.)

b. Thou shalt make no covenant with them nor with their gods. 
(Ex. 23:32.) Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him 
for a servant for ever? (Job 41:4.) 

c. And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our 
sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us 
(Gen. 34:14.) And David spake to the man that stood by him, saying. 
What shall he done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh 
away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philis- 
tine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? (I Sam. 17:26.) 

d. And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and 
laid hold on his concubine and divided her, together with her bones, 
into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel. (Jud. 
19:29.) And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the 
valiantest, and commanded them, saying. Go and smite the inhabitants 
of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the 
children. (Jud. 21:10.) 

e. And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the 
tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the Lord? 
for they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to 
the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to deaths (Jud. 
21:5.)

shall have a place of refuge. (Prov. 14:26.)

shall do with us all that seemeth good unto

put the people in three 'companies; and they 
came into the midst of the host in the morning 
watch, and slew the "Am'mon-ites until the 
heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they 
which remained were scattered, so that two of

hath wrought -salvation in Is'ra-el. 

14 Then said Sam'u-el to the people, Come. 
and let us go to "Gil'gal, and renew the king- 
dom there. 

1-5 And all the people went to Gil'gal; and 
there they made Saul king before the s Lord in 
Gil'gal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of 
peace "offerings before the "Lord; and there 
Saul and all the men of Is'ra-el rejoiced 
greatly.

land of E'gypt. 

7 Now therefore stand still, that I may 
''reason with you before the Lord of all the 
righteous acts of the Lord, which he did to 

you and to your fathers. 

8 When Ja'cob was come into E'gypt, and 
your fathers ! cried unto the Lord, then the 
"Lord sent Alo'ses and Aar'on, which brought 
forth your fathers out of E'gypt, and made 
them dwell in this place.

God, he sold them into the hand of Sis'e-ra, 
captain of the host of Ha'zor, and into the 
hand of the Phi-lis'tines, and into the hand of 
the king of M5'ab, and they fought against 
them.

We -'have sinned, because we have forsaken 
the Lord, and have served 4 Ba'al-im and Ash'-

ered 7 -'you out of the hand of your enemies on 
every side, and ye dwelled safe. 

12 And when ye saw that NaTiash the king 
of the children of Am'mon came against you, 
ye said unto me, Xay; but a king shall reign

13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye 
have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, 
behold, the "Lord hath set a king over you.

"Lord, but rebel against the commandment of

ple, that is so great? (II Chr. 1:10.) 

d. I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. (Acts

prove you. and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin 
not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a 
good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his praise 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Fear God, and keep his command- 
ments: for this this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) That all

turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you 
good. (Josh. 24:20.) The Lord is with you. while ye be with him; and 
if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will 
forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.)

fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.) Take

your wickedness is great, which ye have done 
in the sight of the "Lord, in asking 'you a

18 So Sam'u-el called unto the Lord; and 
the Lord sent thunder and °rain that day: and 
all the people greatly 'feared the Lord and 
Sam'u-el. 

19 And all the people said unto Sam'u-el, 
Ppray for thy servants unto the 2 Lord thy God, 
that we die not: for we have added unto all 
our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: 
yet turn not aside from following the "Lord, 
but serve the ^Lord with all your heart; 

21 And turn ye not aside: for then should 
ye go after vain things, which cannot profit 
nor deliver; for they are vain. 

' 22 For the : Lord will not forsake his people

pleased the 2 Lord to make you his people.

for you : but I will teach you the *good and

great things he hath done for you.

Ch. 13. B. C. 10S3. 

1. NOTE. — With this eh. commences 
the history of Saul's re.gn, and on to 
the "end of the first book of Samuel 
we are hurried through a series of 
events both thrilling and instructive, 
until the section closes with the 
tragic fall of Israel's first monarch. 
The reader's mind is saddened as he 
finds a reign so auspiciously begun 
and strengthened by many a noble 
conquest, deteriorate into a foul per- 
secution of the youthful shepherd of 
Bethlehem. As we read on to the 
end of his life, we are gradually 
made to feel that the princely, broad- 
shouldered son of Kish was unequal 
to the task of successfully transform- 
ing the loose confederacy of the He- 
brews into a monarchy. But an index 
to it all is given in the single passage 
of Hose a: "I gave thee a king in 
mine anger and to'ok him away in 
my wrath." The first three chs. of 
this section (13,14,15) give a detailed 
account of the three great errors of 
Saul's reign. The first is his dis- 
obedience ^it Gilgal. where it is an- 
nounced to him that his dynasty shall 
end with himself. The second is his 
rash and feolish vow. which he found 
himself unable to fulfill; a vow which 
will ever associate him with Jeph- 
thah. The third is his most grievous 
disobedience in failing to execute the 
divine judgment against the Amelek- 
ites. All his subsequent misfortunes 
and his insane pursuit of David were 
fruits of judicial blindness, the penal 
consequence of his three fatal er- 
rors. (W.) 

2. Eldest son of Saul, a man of 
great strength, fleet of foot -and of 
wonderful endurance. A noted archer 
of his time, he was active in all the 
campaigns of his father, and with him 
shared the perils and enterprises of 
that stormy reign, and was finally 
in an indirect way involved in his 
father's ruin. The Philistines had 
been in effective occupation of the 
Israelites' territory and Saul, it 
seems, had not been able to drive 
them back. When (in ch. 13) a third 
of the forces of Israel were given to 
Jonathan and the first effective blow 
struck against the Philistines, though 
defeated for the time, they were not 
disconcerted and answered the attack 
of Jonathan by invading the highlands 
with an overwhelming force. The Is- 
raelites did not respond to the call 
of their king. but. on the contrary, 
many that were then in the field de- 
serted, until the army of three thou- 
sand dwindled to a band of 600 men. 
The two armies came face to face 
on opposite sides of a deep ravine 
near the passage of Michmash. Jona- 
than, believing that God was upon 
his side, scaled the opposing, rocky 



4 And all Is'ra-el heard say that Saul had 
smitten a garrison of the Phi-lis'tine§, and that 
Is'ra-el also was had in abomination with the 
Phi-lis'tine§. And the people were called to- 
gether after Saul to Gil'gal. 

5 f And the Phi-lis'tlnes. gathered them- 
selves together to fight with Is'ra-el, thirty 
thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, 
and people as the sand which is on the sea 
shore in multitude: and they came up, and 
pitched in Mich 'mash, eastward from Beth-a'- 
ven. 

6 3 When the men of is'ra-el saw that they 
were in a strait, (for the people were dis- 
tressed,) then the people a did hide themselves 
in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in 
high places, and in pits. 

7 And some of the He'brew§ went over Jor'- 
dan to the land of Gad and Gil'e-ad. As for 
Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people 
followed him trembling. 

8 f And he Harried seven days, according 
to the set time that Sam'u-el had appointed: 
but Sam'u-el came not to Gil'gal; and the peo- 
ple were scattered from him. 

9 And Saul said, Bring hither c a burnt ''of- 
fering to me, and peace "offerings. d And he 
offered the "burnt offering. 

10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he 
had made an end of offering the f burnt ''offer- 
ing, behold, Sam'u-el came; and Saul went out 
to meet him, that he might salute him. 

11 II And Sam'u-el said, What hast thou 
done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the 
people were scattered from me, and that thou 
earnest not within the days appointed, and that 
the Phi-Hs'tines. gathered themselves together 
at Mich'mash: 

12 Therefore said I, The Phi-lis'tine§ will 
come down now upon me to Gil'gal, and I have 
not made supplication unto the "Lord : I 'forced 
myself therefore, and offered c a burnt offering. 

13 And Sam'u-el said to Saul, Thou hast 
done foolishly: thou hast not kept the c com- 
mandment of the s Lord thy God, which he 
commanded thee : for now would the Lord have 
established thy kingdom upon is'ra-el for ever. 

14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: 
the "Lord hath sought him a man after his 
own heart, and the "Lord hath commanded him 



rampart and fell upon the astonished 
garrison. As the Philistines fled. 
Jonathan struck down 20. This 
bold, daring, successful, eagle-like 
coup so affected the Philistines that 
they were stirred with great con- 
fusion. Saul, seeing the effect upon 
the enemy, joins in the attack, and 
soon the Philistines are put to utter 
rout. Because of his military prowess 



the Israelites hold Jonathan in great 
reverence. It is his true friendship 
for David, however, which most 
strongly appeals to the world at 
large. He has given us a true exam- 
ple of what constitutes friendship, 
namely, warmth of affection, unself- 
ishness, helpfulness, confidence and 
constancy. Jonathan was killed with 
his father Saul, on \It. Gilboa in 



battle with the Philistines (I Sam. 
31:2). 

3. Vs. 6-15 detail the people's dis- 
tress and Saul's untimely sacrifice. 

4. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered w T hen one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



5. A thanksgiving offering of one 
in the enjoyment of peace afforded by 
a clear conscience; therefore an of- 
fering to God in gratitude for bless- 
ings received. 

6. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

7. That is, contrary to his con- 
science and belief; a poor excuse, 
though one often given. 



o. Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves 
together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, 
on the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the street 
of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the 
great rain. (Ezra 10:9.) 

p. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall 
raise him up: and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven 
him. (Ja. 5:15.) And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the 
palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith, said unto the sick 
of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee. (Mat. 
9:2.) And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick; the people that 
dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. (Is. 33:24.) 

q. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt 
swear by his name. (Dt. 6:13.) And now, Israel, what doth the Lord 
thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all 
his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all 
thy heart and with all thy soul. (Dt. 10:12.) But take diligent heed to 
do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord 
charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, 
and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve 
him with all your heart, and with all your soul. (Josh. 22:5.) And 
Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto 
the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods, and 
Ashtaroth from among you. and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, 
and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the 
Philistines. (I Sam. 7:3.) And if it seem evil unto you to serve the 
Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which 
your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the 
gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my 
house, we will serve the Lord. (Josh. 24:15.) Yea, all kings shall fall 
down before him; all nations shall serve him. (Ps. 72:11.) 

r. Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might 
make his mighty power to be known. (Ps. 106:8.) Do not abhor us, for 



thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory; remember, 
break not thy covenant with us. (Jer. 14:21.) 

s. Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, 
and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way 
wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou 
hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. (II Chr. 6:27.) Thus 
saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old 
paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest 
for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. (Jer. 6:16.) 

t. If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then he will 
turn and do you hurt and consume you, after that he hath done you 
good. (Josh. 24:20.) The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and 
if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will 
forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of 
the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in 
the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. (Jud. 6:2.) 

b. Thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal: and behold, I will come 
down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings: and to sacrifice sacrifices of 
peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry till I come to thee, and 
show thee what thou shalt do. (I Sam. 10:8.) 

c. For purpose and design of burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

d. But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy 
tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt 
do all that I command thee. (Dt. 12:14.) But when he was strong, his 
heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the 
Lord his God, and went in to the temple of the Lord to burn incense 
upon the altar of incense. (II Chr. 26:16.) And no man taketh this 
honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. (Heb. 
5:4.) 

e. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them; I am

to be captain over his people, because thou hast 
not kept that which the "Lord commanded thee. 

15 And Sam'u-el arose, and gat him up from 
Gil'gal unto Gib'e-ah of Ben'ja-min. And Saul 
numbered the people that were present with 
him, about six hundred men. 

16 s And Saul, and -Jdn'a-than his son, and 
the people that were present with them, abode 
in Gib'e-ah of Ben'ja-mir : but the Phi-lis'- 
tine§ encamped in Mich'mash. 

17 H And the spoilers came out of the camp 
of the Phi-lis'tine§ in three companies: one 
company turned unto the way that leadeth to 
Oph'rah, unto the land of Shu/al: 

18 And another company turned the way to 
Beth-ho'ron: and another company turned to 
the way of the border that looketh to the val- 
ley of Ze-bo'im toward the wilderness. 

19 H Now ^there was no ''smith found 
throughout all the land of Is'ra-el: for the 
Phi-lis'tme§ said, Lest the He'brew§ make 
them swords or spears: 

20 But all the Is'ra-el-ites went down to the 
Phi-lis'tineij, to sharpen every man his share, 
and his coulter, and his ax, and his mattock. 

21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and 
for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the 
axes, and to sharpen the goads. 

22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, 
that there was neither sword nor spear found 
in the hand of any of the people that were 
with Saul and Jon'a-than: but with Saul and 
with Jon'a-than his son was there found. 

23 And the garrison of the Phi-lis'tine§ 
went out to the passage of Mich'mash. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Jonathan goetk and miraculously smiteth the 
Philistines' garrison. 17 Saul setteth on 
them. 21 The captivated Hebrews, and the 
hidden Israelites, join against them. 24 
Saul's unadvised adjuration hindereth the 
victory. 47 Saul's strength and family. 

1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jon'- 
a-than the son of Saul said unto the Voung 
man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go 
over to the Phi-lis'tines/ garrison, that is on 
the other side. But he told not his father. 

2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of 
Gib'e-ah under a pomegranate tree which is in 
Mig'ron: and the people that were with him 
were about six hundred men; 

3 And A-hi'ah, the son of A-hi'tub, Ich'a- 
bod's brother, the son of Phin'e-has, the son 
of E'H, the : Lord's priest in Shi'loh, wearing 
an 3 ephod. And the people knew not that 
Jon'a-than was gone.

4. This is the sign which Jonathan 
had selected so as to know the will

vah is with us, let the Philistine gar-

lis'tines/ garrison, there was a sharp rock on 
the one side, and a sharp rock on the other 
side: and the name of the one was B5'zez, and 
the name of the other Se'neh. 

5 The forefront of the one was situate 
northward over against Mich'mash, and the 
other southward over against Gib'e-ah. 

6 And Jon'a-than said to the young man 
that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over 
unto the garrison of these uncircumcised : it 
may be that the 2 Lord will work for us; for 
there is no "restraint to the 2 Lord to save by 
many or by few. 

7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do 
all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, 
I am with thee according to thy heart. 

8 Then said J5n'a-than, Behold, we will pass 
over unto these men, and we will discover our* 
selves unto them. 

9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we 
come to you; then we will stand still in our 
place, and will not go up unto them. 

10 But if they say thus, "Come up unto us; 
then we will go up : for the 2 Lord hath deliv- 
ered them into our hand: and c this shall be a 
sign unto us. 

11 And both of them discovered themselves 
unto the garrison of the Phi-lis'tine§ : and the 
Phi-lis'tine§ said, Behold, the He'brew? come 
forth out of the holes where they had hid 
themselves. 

12 And the men of the garrison answered 
Jon'a-than and his armourbearer, and said, 
Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. 
And Jon'a-than said unto his armourbearer, 
Come up after me: for the Lord hath ''deliv- 
ered them into the hand of Is'ra-el. 

13 And Jon'a-than climbed up upon his 
hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer 
after him: and they fell before Jon'a-than; 
and his armourbearer "slew after him. 

14 And that ^first slaughter, which Jon'a- 
than and his armourbearer made, was about 
twenty men, within as it were an 5 half acre of 
land, which a yoke of oxen might plow. 

15 And there e was "trembling in the host, 
in the field, and among all the people: the 
garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, 
and the earth quaked: so it was a 'very great 
^trembling. 

16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gib'e-ah of 
Ben'ja-min looked; and, behold, the multitude 
'melted away, and they went on beating down 
one another. 

17 Then said Saul unto the people that were 
with him, Number now, and see who is gone 
from us. And when they had numbered, be-

not there.

keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Thou shalt keep therefore his 
statutes and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that 
it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that 
thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) Therefore shall ye keep all the com- 
mandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and 
go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it. (Dt. 11:8.) If 
tbou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe 
to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee 
this day: that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee. 
(Dt. 28:15.) 

f. And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all 
the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the crafts- 
men and smiths; none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of 
the land. (II Ks. 24:14. ) 

Chapter 14. 

a. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear; and this uncir- 
cumcised Philisline shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the 
armies of the living God. (I Sam. 17:36.) How should one chase a 
thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had 
sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? (Dt. 32:30.) And the Lord 
said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto 
the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be that of 
whom I :s;iy unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with 
thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, 
tbe same shall not go (■)). And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the 
300 men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites 
into thine hand; and let all the other people go every man unto his 



place. (Jud. '7:4, 7.) Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy 
name give glory, for thy mercy and for thy truth's sake (1). But our 
God is in the heavens; he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. (Ps. 
115:1, 3.) The Lord is on my side; I will not fear what can man do 
unto me? (Ps. 118:6.) What shall we then say to these things? If 
God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.)

c. Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she 
shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also; let the same be 
she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac, and thereby shall 
I know- that thou hast shown kindness unto my master. (Gen. 24:14.) 
And let it be, when thou hearest tbe sound of a going in the tops of the 
mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then shall the 
Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. (II Sam. 
5:24.) 

d. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; 
and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. (Jud. 7:21.) 

e. Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their 
tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and 
fled for their lives. (II Ks. 7:7.) Terror shall make him afraid on 
every side, and shall drive him to his feet. (Job 18:11.) They saw it, 
and so they marveled; they were troubled, and hasted away. Fear took 
hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. (Ps. 
48:5, 6.) 

f. And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities 
that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of 
Jacob. (Gen. 35:5.) I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy 
all the people to whom thou shalt come; and I will make all thine 
enemies turn their backs unto thee. (Ex. 23:27.)

18 And Saul said unto A-hi'ah, Bring hither 
the ark s of God. For the ark of God was at 
that time with the children of Is'ra-el. 

19 H And it came to pass, while Saul ^talked 
unto the priest, that the noise that was in the 
host of the Phi-lis'tme§ went on and increased: 
and Saul said unto the priest, "Withdraw 
''thine hand. 

20 And Saul and all the people that were 
with him assembled themselves, and they came 
to the battle: and, behold, 'every man's sword 
was against his fellow, and there was a very 
great "discomfiture. 

21 Moreover the 12 He'brew§ that were with 
the Phl-lis'tine§, before that time, which went 
up with them into the camp from the country 
round about, even they also turned to be with 
the Is'ra-el-ites that were with Saul and Jon'- 
a-than. 

22. Likewise all the men of Is'ra-el which 
^had hid themselves in mount E'phra-im, when 
they heard that the Phi-lis'tine§ fled, even they 
also followed hard after them in the battle. 

23 So the 2 Lord *saved Is'ra-el that day: 
and the battle passed over unto Beth-a'ven. 

24 1f "And the men of Is'ra-el were dis- 
tressed that day: for Saul had adjured the 
people, saying, 'Cursed be the man that eateth 
any food until evening, that I may be avenged 
on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted 
any food. 

25 And all they of the land came to a wood; 
and there was 15 honey "'upon the ground. 

26 And when the people were come into the 
wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man 
put his hand to his mouth: for the people 
feared the oath. 

27 But J5n'a-than heard not when his father 
charged the people with the oath : wherefore 
he put forth the end of the rod that was in his 
hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put 
his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were en- 
lightened. 

28 Then answered one of the people, and 
said, Thy father straitly charged the people 
with an oath, saying, 'Cursed be the man that 
eateth any food this day. And the people were 
faint. 



0. It is thought by most scholars 
that the septuagint is correct, here 
it has ephod instead of ark. The 
ephod and not the ark was used for 
making inquiries of God, and the ex- 
pression, "Bring hither the ark," is 
uncommon and unnatural in this con- 
nection, but "Bring hither the ephod" 
is quite common. The ark at this 
time was at Kirjath-jearim in the 
possession of the Israelites, where it 
had not been removed since returned 
by the Philistines. The septuagint- 
reading would stand, "Bring hither 
the ephod, for he (Ahiah) bore the 
ephod in that day before Israel." 



10. That is, refrain from doing 
what I have commanded thee. 



11. Consternation, riot. 



12. That is, those who had de- 
serted Saul and gone over to the 
Philistines. 



13. Slew them after him. (R. V.) 



14. Vs. 24-46 detail Saul's hasty 
oath. 



15. In that country bees were wild 
and very numerous and were not 
kept in hives, but lived in trees; 
their comb attached to the limbs and 
hanging down as hornets' nests,, 
would very frequently, because of its 
own weight, break loose and drop to 
the ground. 



16. God answered not that day, in- 
dicating that in some way they had 
incurred the divine displeasure. 



29 Then said Jon'a-than, My father hath 
troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine 
eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted 
a little of this honey. 

30 How much more, if haply the people had 
eaten freely to day of the spoil of their ene- 
mies which they found? for had there not 
been now a much greater slaughter among the 
Phi-lis'tine§? 

31 And they smote the Phi-lis'tine§ that day 
from Mich'mash to Aij'a-lon: and the people 
were very faint. 

32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and 
took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew 
them on the ground: and the people did eat 
them "with the blood. 

33 f Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, 
the people sin against the 2 Lord, in that they 
eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have 
transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this 
day. 

34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves 
among the people, and say unto them, Bring 
me hither every man his ox, and every man 
his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and 
sin not against the 2 Lord in eating "with the 
blood. And all the people brought every man 
his ox with him that night, and slew them 
there. 

35 And Saul "built an altar unto the Lord: 
the same was the first altar that he built unto 
the Lord. 

36 1f And Saul said, Let us go down after 
the Phi-lis'tine§ by night, and spoil them until 
the morning light, and let us not leave a man 
of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seem- 
eth good unto thee. Then said the priest, z>Let 
us draw near hither unto God. 

37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I 
go down after the Phi-lis'tine§? wilt thou de- 
liver them into the hand of Is'ra-el? But he 
answered 10 him 'mot that day. 

38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all 
the chief of the people: and know and see 
wherein this sin hath been this day. 

39 For, as the 2 Lord r liveth, which saveth 
Is'ra-el, though it be in Jon'a-than my son, he 



g. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask 
counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord; at his word 
sh?ll they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all 
the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. (Num. 
27:21.) 

h. And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at 
the mouth of the Lord. (Josh. 9:14.) They soon forgat his works; they 
waited not for his counsel. (Ps. 106:13.) 

i. And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every 
man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host. 
(Jud. 7:22.) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the ex- 
cellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (II Cor. 4:7.) 

j. When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for 
the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in 
caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. 
(I Sam. 13:6.) 

k. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the 
Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. 
(Ex. 14:30.) But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will 
save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor 
by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. (Hos. 1:7.) 
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make 
his mighty power to be known (8). And he saved them from the hand 
of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the 
enemy. (Ps. 106:8, 10.) 

1. And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the 
man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he 
shall lay the foundation thereof in his first-born, and in his youngest 
son shall he set up the gates of it. (Josh. 6:26.) Cursed be the man 
that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the 
Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret 
place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. Cursed be he 
that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall 
say, Amen. Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor's landmark. And 
all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that maketh the blind to 
wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed 
be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and 
widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that lieth 
with his father's wife: because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And 
all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that lieth with any man- 
ner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that 
lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his 
mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that lieth 
with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed 
be he that smiteth his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say, 



Amen. Cursed be he that take reward to slay an innocent person. And 
all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that confirmeth not all 
the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. 
(Dt. 27:15-26.) 

m. And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither 
thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is 
the fruit of it. (Num. 13:27.) And the same John had his raiment of 
camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was 
locusts and wild honey. (Mat. 3:4.) 

n. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall 
ye not eat. (Gen. 9:4.) It shall be a perpetual statute for your gen- 
erations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. 
(Lev. 3:17.) Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be 
a fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. (Lev. 7:26.) Ye shall not 
eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor ob- 
serve times. (Lev. 19:26.) Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour 
it upon the earth as water. (Dt. 12:16.) 

0. And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt 
offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, 
and the plague was stayed from Israel. (II Sam. 24:25.) And it came 
to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an 
altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. (Jud. 21:4.) 

p. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should 
seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of 
hosts. (Mai. 2:7.) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. 
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double 
minded. (Ja. 4:8.) The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and 
if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will 
forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 

q. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. (Ps. 
66:18.) Now we know that God heareth not sinners; but if any man 
be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. (Jno. 9:31.) 
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? (Job 27:9.) 
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil, 
men. (Job 35:12.) They cried, but there was none to save them; even 
unto the Lord, but he answered them not. (Ps. 18:41.) The eyes of the 
Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. ' (Ps. 
34:15.) If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. 
(Ps. 66:18.) Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they 
shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. (Prov. 1:28.) The Lord 
is far from the wicked; but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 
(Prov. 15:29.) He that lurneth away his ear from hearing the law, even 
his prayer shall be abomination. (Prov. 28:9.) 

r. And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the 
child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. (II Sam. 
12:15.)

shall surely die. But there was not a man 
among all the people that answered him. 

40 Then said he unto all Is'ra-el, Be ye on 
one side, and I and Jon'a-than my son will be 
on the other side. And the people said unto 
Saul. Do what seemeth good unto thee. 

"41 Therefore Saul said unto the "Lord God 
of Is'ra-el, Give a perfect lot. s And Saul and 
Jon'a-than were taken: but the people es- 
caped. 

42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and 
Jon'a-than my son. And Jon'a-than "was 
taken. 

43 Then Saul said to Jon'a-than, 'Tell me 
what thou hast done. And Jon'a-than told him, 
and said, I did but taste a little honey with 
the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, 
lo, I must die. 

44 And Saul answered, "God do so and more 
also: for thou shalt surely die, Jon'a-than. 

45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall 
Jon'a-than die, who hath wrought this great 
salvation in Is'ra-el? God forbid: l 'as the 
"Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his 
head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought 
with God this day. So the people rescued 
Jon'a-than, that he died not. 

46 Then Saul went up from following the 
Phi-lis'tines: and the Phi-lis'tines went to 
their own place. 

47 r ; 'So Saul took the kingdom over Is'ra-el, 
and fought against all his enemies on every 
side, against Mo'ab, and against the children 
of Am'mon, and against E'dom, and against 
the kings of Zo'bah, and against the Phi-lis'- 
tines : and whithersoever he turned himself, he 
vexed them. 

48 And he gathered an host, and smote the 
Am'a-lek-ites, and delivered Is'ra-el out of the 
hands of them that spoiled them. 

49 Now the sons of Saul were Jon'a-than, 
and Ish'u-I, and "Mel'ehi-shu'a : and the names 
of his two daughters were these; the name of 
the firstborn Me'rab, and the name of the 
younger "Mi'chal: 

50 And the name of Saul's wife was A-hin'- 
o-am, the daughter of A-hrm'a-az: and the 
name of the captain of his host was Ab'ner, the 
son of Ner, Saul's uncle. 

51 And Kish was the father of Saul; and 
Ner the father of Ab'ner was the son of 
A-bl'el. 

52 And there was sore war against the 
Phi-lis'tines all the days of Saul: and when 
Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, 
he took him unto him. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 Samuel sendeth Saul to destroy Amalek. 8 
He spareth' Agag and the best of the spoil. 
10 Samuel denounceth unto Saul God's re- 
jection of him for his disobedience. 24 



17. Jonathan had not knowingly 
transgressed. He had not sinned be- 
fore God. but was guilty of violating 
the king's hasty oath. 



IS. Vs. 47-52 detail briefly wars 
and genealogy of Saul. 



Ch. 15. B. C. 1079. 

NOTE. — In eh. 15. Jehovah seeks 
to give Sanl"s obedience another test. 
In ch. 13:14. he notified the king 
that, because of his disobedience, his 
kingdom should not be established in 
his house. "But now thy kingdom 
shall not continue; the Lord has 
sought him a man after his own 
heart, and the Lord has commanded 
him to be captain over his people, 
because thou hast not kept that which 
the Lord commanded thee." But be- 
fore the final rejection Jehovah gives 
Saul one more trial. The occasion is 
found with the Amalekites. who have 
always been enemies of the chosen 
people. 



1. See 16, ch. 1, I Samuel. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. Such wholesale and absolute de- 
struction would show that they were 
not waging the war for the spoils 
which might be captured, but simply 
exeeutingthe wrath of God as divine 
retribution: therefore, when Saul com- 
manded the best of the flock to be 
spared, he was again evidencing that 
rash and offensive interference with 
the divine judgments which had so 
often characterized him. In this act 
Saul committed two sins, inasmuch as 
he violated two commands: First, 
he did not execute the command to 
destroy every living thing: second, he 
appropriated unto his own use a part 
of the accursed thing, i. e., the flocks 
that he had spared which had been 
accursed of God to destruction. 



4. The common title of the Am- 
alekite king as Pharaoh of Egypt. 



5. The one to parade his power 
in leading captive so illustrious a 
slave. The second, to gratify his 
own covetous desires. 



6. Vs. 10-35 relate how God re- 
jects Saul for disobedience: they also 
record Samuel's last words to the 
fallen monarch. 



7. To be sorry for. an avenge for 
sin committed. 



8. The old sin of laying it on 
another, weak in sinning and doubly 
weak in denying it before Jehovah. 



Saul's humiliation. 32 Samuel killeth Agag. 
34 Samuel and Saul part. 

1 "Sam'u-el also said unto Saul, The "Lord 
"sent me to anoint thee to be king over his 
people, over Is'ra-el: now therefore hearken 
thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord. 

2 Thus saith the "Lord of hosts, I remember 
that which Am'a-lek did to Is'ra-el, how he 
laid wait for him in the way, when he came up 
from E'gypt. 

3 Now go and smite Am'a-lek, and utterly 
destroy all that they have, and spare them 
not; but slay both man and woman, infant and 
suckling, & ox and sheep, 3 camel and ass. 

4 And Saul gathered the people together, 
and numbered them in TeTa-im, two hundred 
thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of 
Ju dah. 

5 And Saul came to a city of Am'a-lek, and 
laid wait in the valley. 

6 r And Saul said unto the Ken'ites, Go, 
depart, get you down 'from among the Am'a- 
lek-ites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye 
shewed kindness to all the children of Is'ra-el, 
when they came up out of E'gypt. So the 
Ken'ites departed from among the Am'a-lek- 
ites. 

7 And Saul smote the Am'a-lek-ites from 
Hav l-lah until thou comest to Shur, that is 
over against E'gypt. 

8 And d he took 4 A'gag the king of the Am'a- 
lek-ites alive, and f utterly destroyed all the 
people with the edge of the sword. 

9 But Saul and the people spared 4 A'gag, 
5 and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, 
and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all 
that was good, and would not utterly destroy 
them : but every thing that was vile and refuse, 
that they destroyed utterly. 

10 r 'Then came the word of the 2 Lord unto 
Sam'u-el, saying, 

11 It 7 repenteth 'me that I have set up Saul 
to be king: for he is turned back from follow- 
ing me, and hath not ^performed my command- 
ments. And 7i it grieved Sam'u-el; and he 
'cried unto the : Lord all night. 

12 And when Sam'u-el rose early to meet 
Saul in the morning, it was told Sam'u-el, say- 
ing, Saul came to Car'mel, and, behold, he set 
him up a place, and is gone about, and passed 
on, and gone down to Gil'gal. 

13 And Sam'u-el came to Saul: and Saul 
said unto him, Blessed be thou of the "Lord: 
■ ; I have performed the commandment of the 
2 Lord. 

14 And Sam'u-el said, What meaneth then 
this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and 
the lowing of the oxen which I hear? 

15 And Saul said, They have brought them 
from the Am'a-lek-ites: s for the '-"people spared 
the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sac- 



s. So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by 
their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken. (Josh. 7:16.) 

t. And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory 
to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me 
now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. (Josh 7:19.) 

u. So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave 
of all that pertain to him, by the morning light, any that pisseth 
against the -wall. (I Sam. 25:22.) 

v. And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there 
shall not an hair of him fall to the earth; but if wickedness shall be 
found in him, he shall die. (I Ks. 1:52.) But there shall not an hair 
of your head perish. (Luke 21:18.) We, then, as workers together with 
him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (II 
Cor. 6:1.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. See I Sam. 9:16. 

b. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of 
Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his 
sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and 
his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them unto the valley 
of Achor. (Josh. 7:24.) 

c. And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son- 
in-iaw, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in 
the city, bring them out of this place. (Gen. 19:12.) Come out of hei, 
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not 
of her plagues. (Rev. 18:4.) 

d. The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore: 



and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made 
in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. 
So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. (I Ks. 20:3-;.) 

e. And it came to pass, when David and his men had come to Ziklag 
on the third day. that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, 
and smitten Zikiag, and burned it with fire. (I Sam. 30:1.) 

f. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none 
shut up or left. (Dt. 32:36.) Nevertheless he regarded their affliction 
when he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) And the Lord repented of the 
evil which he thought to do unto his people. (Ex. 32:14.) And rend 
your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God; 
for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great* kindness, 
and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:13.) Thou hast forsaken me, 
saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out 
my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. 
(Jer. 15:6.)

j. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank 
thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, 
or even as this publican. (Luke 18:11.) See ch. 13, I Sam. 

k. The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the 
tree, and I did eat. (Gen. 3:12.) He that covereth his sins shall not 
prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

rifice unto the "Lord thy God; and the rest 
we have utterly destroyed. 

16 Then Sam'u-el said unto Saul, 'Stay, and 
I will tell thee what the 2 Lord hath said to me 
this night. And he said unto him, Say on. 

17 And Sam'u-el said, When thou wast little 
in thine own sight, wast thou not made the 
head of the tribes of Is'ra-el, and the 2 Lord 
anointed thee king over Is'ra-el? 

18 And the "Lord sent -thee on a journey, 
and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners 
the Am'a-lek-ites, and fight against them until 
they be consumed. 

19 Wherefore then didst thou 'not obey the 
voice of the 2 Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, 
and didst evil in the sight of the 2 Lord? 

20 And Saul said unto Sam'u-el, Yea, I have 
obeyed the voice of the 2 Lord, and have gone 
the way which the Lord sent me, and have 
brought 4 A'gag the king of Am'a-lek, and have 
utterly destroyed the Am'a-lek-ites. 

21 But the A people took of the spoil, sheep 
and oxen, the chief of the things which should 
have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto 
the "Lord thy God in Gil'gal. 

22 And Sam'u-el said, Hath the 2 Lord as 
great delight in "'burnt offerings and sacri- 
fices, as in obeying the 'voice of the 2 Lord? 
Behold, "to obey is better than sacrifice, and to 
hearken than the fat of rams. 

23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, 
and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. 
Because thou hast rejected "the word of the 
2 Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being 
king. 

24 1 And Saul said unto Sam'u-el, I ^have 
sinned: for I have transgressed the command- 
ment of the 2 Lord, and thy words: because I 
'^feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 

25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my 
sin, and turn again with me, that I may wor- 
ship the "Lord. 

26 And Sam'u-el said unto Saul, I will not 
'return with thee; for thou hast rejected "the 
word of the 2 Lord, and the 2 Lord hath rejected 
thee from being king over Is'ra-el. 

27 And as Sam'u-el turned about to go away, 
he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and 
it rent. 

28 And Sam'u-el said unto him, The 2 Lord 
hath *rent the kingdom of Is'ra-el from thee 
this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of 
thine, that is better than thou. 

29 And also the Strength of Is'ra-el will not 



9. That is. cease from thy false, 
hypocritical apologies. 

10. Compare v. 11 and note 7. 
"Jehovah has feelings of love and 
anger; love for the righteous and 
auger toward the wicked. If the 
righteous man turn from his righteous- 
ness, or the wicked man from his 
wickedness, toward him correspond- 
ingly Jehovah's feelings change. This 
is often called repentance in God. 
But beyond this the divine nature is 
not subject to change. In man, how- 
ever, repentance implies sinfulness 
and fallibility, and involves a moral 
and religious change, so that it is 
never after the manner of man that 
God repents." 

11. According to the E. V. this 
clause is rendered, "And Agag came 
unto him cheerfully." Some authori- 
ties have rendered it, "Agag came 
unto him in fetter's." In the first in- 
stance they claim that Agag thought 
that he was not to be put to death, 
consequently came cheerfully; but as 
there is only one other instance in 
the Bible where this Hebrew word is 
thus used, but little foundation is af- 
forded them thus to reason. The 
others claim that the sense of the 
context indorses the idea that he was 
brought in fetters or bound, and, as 
there is also one other use of the 
Hebrew in this sense, they have equal 
authority for such translation. 

12. A figurative expression indi- 
cating the wanton cruelty and wick- 
edness of Agag. 

Ch. 16, B. C. 1063. 

NOTE. — Ch. 16 introduces us to him 
who is destined to be the greatest 
of all the kings — that man after Je- 
hovah's heart — spoken of in ch. 13; 
14. "The Lord has sought a man 
after his own heart." However, until 
the death of Saul, he is incessantly 
persecuted by the jealous king and 
is no more than an exile or an outlaw. 

1. See 16. ch. 1. 

2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

3. That is. for the purpose of 
anointing another king. 

4. The only one in the scripture 
who bears this name; his genealogy 
is given in Ruth 4:lS-22 and I Chr. 
2:5-12. 



10 lie nor repent : for he is not a man, that he 
should repent. 

30 Then he said, I have ^sinned: yet honour 
me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my 
people, and before Is'ra-el, and turn again 
with me, that I may worship the 2 Lord thy 
God. 

31 So Sam'u-el turned again after Saul; 
and Saul worshipped the Lord. 

3211 Then said Sam'u-el, Bring ye hither to 
me "A'gag the king of the Am'a-lek-ites. _ And 
A'gag came unto him "delicately. And A'gag 
said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. 

33 And Sam'u-el said, 12 As thy sword hath 
made women childless, so shall thy mother be 
childless among women. And 'Sam'u-el hewed 
A'gag in pieces before the 2 Lord in Gil'gal. 

34 If Then Sam'u-el went to Ra'mah ; and 
Saul went up to his house to Gib'e-ah of Saul. 

35 And Sam'u-el came no more to see Saul 
until the day of his death: nevertheless Sam'- 
u-el mourned for Saul : and the 2 Lord 7 repented 
that he had made Saul king over Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER 16. 

1 Samuel sent by God cometh to Beth-lehem. 
6 His human judgment reproved. 11 He 
anointeth David. 15 Saul sendeth for Da- 
vid to quiet his evil sjririt. 

1 And the 2 Lord said unto Sam'u-el, How 
long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have 
rejected him from reigning over Is'ra-el? 3 fill 
thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to 
'Jes'se the Beth'-le-hem-ite: for I have pro- 
vided "me a king among his sons. 

2 And Sam'u-el said, How can I go? if Saul 
hear it, he will kill me. And the 2 Lord said, 
Take an heifer with thee, and say, *I am come 
to sacrifice to the 2 Lord. 

3 And call Jes'se to the sacrifice, and I will 
shew thee what thou shalt do : and thou shalt 
anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. 

4 And Sam'u-el did that which the 2 Lord 
spake, and came to Beth'-le-hem. And the 
elders of the town c trembled at his coming, 
and said, Comest thou peaceably? 

5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to 
sacrifice unto the 2 Lord: ''sanctify yourselves, 
and come with me to the sacrifice. And he 
sanctified Jes'se and his sons, and called them 
to the sacrifice. 

6 If And it came to pass, when they were 
come, that he looked on e E-li'ab, and said, 
Surely the 2 Lord's anointed is before him. 



1. And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated 
us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us 
into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. (Dt. 1:27.) But this 
thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your 
God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ye in all the ways that I have 
commanded you, that it may be well unto you. (Jer. 7:23.) And they 
that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord; and ye 
shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this 
shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your 
God. (Zech. 6:15.) Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said. 
We ought to obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29.) Know ye not, 
that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are 
to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto right- 
eousness? (Rom. 6:16.) And being made perfect, he became the author 
of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. (Heb. 5:9.) 

m. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, 
to have been continually before me. I will take no bullock out of thy 
house, nor he goats out of thy folds. (Ps. 50:8, 9.) To do justice and 
judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. (Prov. 21:3.) 
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the 
Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed 
beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of 
he goats. (Is. 1:11.) 

n. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and 
not sacrifice: tor I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to re- 
pentance. (Mat. 9:13.) 

0. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them 
not. shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon 
the sand. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds 
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was the fall of it. 
(Mat. 7:26, 27.) He that is not with me is against me; and he that 
garhereth not with me scattereth. (Luke 11:23.) And ye have not his 
word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. (Jno. 
5:38.) 

p. See i, ch. 10, Judges. 

q. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou 
speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment. (Ex. 23:2.) 



The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the 
Lord shall be saved. (Prov. 29:25.) I, even I, am he that comforteth 
you; who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall 
die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass. (Is. 51:12.) 

r. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy 
house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but 
now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I 
will honor; and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. (I Sam. 
2:30.) 

s. And the Lord hath done to him as he spake by me; for the Lord 
hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbor, 
even to David. (I Sam. 28:17.) 

t. And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not 
one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them 
down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. (I Ks. 18:40.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheep- 
folds. (Ps. 78:70.) And when he had removed him. he raised up unto 
them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and 
said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, 
which shall fulfill all my will. (Acts 13:22.) 

b. Let me go, I pray thee, for our family hath a sacrifice in the 
city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there; and now, 
if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and 
see my brethren: Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table. (I 
Sam. 20:29.) 

c. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment 
to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time: 
when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. (Acts 24:25.) 

d. And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomor- 
row the Lord will do wonders among you. (Josh. 3:5.) And the Lord said 
unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, 
and let them wash their clothes. (Ex. 19:10.) Sanctify yourselves there- 
fore, and be ye holy; for I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 20:7.)

Michael. (I Chr. 27:18.)

I SAMUEL 



B. C. 1063 



7 But the ^Lord said unto Sam'u-el, Look 
not on his countenance, or on the height of 
his stature; because I have refused him: for 
the "Lord r'seeth not as man seeth; for man 
looketh on the outward appearance, but the 
Lord looketh on the heart. 

8 Then Jesse called A-bin'a-dab, and made 
him pass before Sam'u-el. And he said, Nei- 
ther hath the Lord chosen this. 

9 Then Jesse made Shani'mah to pass by. 
And he said, Neither hath the ^Lord chosen 
this. 

10 Again, Jes'se made seven of his sons to 
pass before Sam'u-el. And Sam'u-el said unto 
Jes'se, The "Lord hath not chosen these. 

11 7 And Sam'u-el said unto Jes'se, Are here 
all thy children? And he said. There remain- 
eth yet the youngest, and, behold, he -"keepeth 
the sheep. And Sam'u-el said unto Jes'se, 
Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down 
till he come hither. 

12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now 
he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful coun- 
tenance, and goodly to look to. And the ^Lord 
said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. 

13 Then Sam'u-el took the horn of oil, and 
anointed him in the midst of his brethren : and 
the : Spirit "of the ^Lord came upon "Da'vid 
from that day forward. So Sam'u-el rose up, 
and went to Ra'mah. 

14 r \But the '"Spirit of the Lord departed 
from Saul, and an evil spirit from the ^Lord 
troubled him. 

15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Be- 
hold now, an evil spirit s from God troubleth 
thee. 

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, 
which are before thee, to seek out a man, who 
is a cunning player on an harp : and it shall 
come to pass, when the evil spirit from God 
is upon thee, that he shall "play with his 
hand, and thou shalt be well. 

17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide 
me now a man that can play well, and bring 
him to me. 

18 Then answered one of the servants, and 
said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jes'se the 
Beth'-le-hem-ite, that is cunning in playing, 
and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, 
and prudent in II matters, and a comely person, 
and the "Lord is with him. 

19 ""Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto 
Jes'se, and said. Send me Da'vid thy son, which 
is with the sheep. 

20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, 
and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them 
by Da'vid his son unto Saul. 

21 And Da'vid came to Saul, and -'stood be- 
fore him: and he loved him greatly; and he 
became his armourbearer. 

22 And Saul sent to Jes'se, saying, Let Da'- 
vid, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath 
found favour in my sight. 

23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit 
from God was upon Saul, that "Da'vid took an 
harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was 
refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit 
departed from him. 



5. That is. red. either of face or 
hair, but doubtless his hair is meant, 
as in Gen. 25:25. "And the first came 
out red all over like a hairy garment, 
and they called his name Esau." As 
red here refers to hair, by analogy 
is given the same meaning in this 
verse. 

6. That is. the spirit of develop- 
ment, of discretion, to act prudently, 
wisely, judiciously on all occasions."

the ease of Job 2:7, "So went Satan 
forth from the presence of the Lord 
and smote Job with sore boils from

10. There are many instances 
where the power of music has been 
used to calm a disordered mind. Cen- 
sorinus. a writer of the third century, 
says that "Aselepiades was accus- 
tomed by the melody of sound to 
allay the ravings of the delirious." 
Xenogrates is said- to have done the 
same. In the memoirs of the French 
Royal Academy of Sciences the fol- 

• lowing is found: "A person who was 
[ seized with fever, which scon threw 
him into a violent delirium, accom- 
: panied by bitter cries, by tears, by 
terrors and almost constant wakeful- 
: ness. the third day was brought under 
j the influence of music. Gradually his 
troubled visage relaxed and soon as- 
sumed a calm and serene expression, 
1 his eyes became tranquil, his convul- 
sions ceased, and the fever absolutely 
left him." 

II. That is, speech. 

12. David was brought into the 
court of Saul to play for the old 
king to calm his troubled spirits. 

Ch. 17. B, C. 1063. 

XOTE. — Throughout all the days of 
Saul, constant and bitter warfare was 
waged with the Philistines. This ch. 
merely describes one of the engage- 
ments in which the giant Goliath had 
been bantering and daring the Israel- 
ites for many days. David accepts 
the giant's challenge and slays him. 

1. One of the cities of Judah about 
14 miles southwest of Jerusalem. 

2. The giant whom David slew, at 
Ephesdammim. Politically he was a 
Philistine, but not of their blood. He 
is supposed to be of the rephite or 
giant breed, living at Gath. See II 
Sam. 21:15-22 and I Chr. 20:4-S. 
"The Hebrew makes him 6 cubits 
and a span in height: counting the 
cubits at 21 inches, this would make 

I him over 11 feet high. He is proba- 
| bly the largest man of whom we have 
any authentic record." (Hast. B. 
D.) For forty days he had been defy- 
i ing the Israelites and daring them to 
send a man to meet him in single 
combat, but they were terrified at 
his presence until David volunteered 
to fight him and with his sling sent 
a stone whirling which struck him 
squarely in the forehead and he fell 
to the ground: David running up. 
with the giant's own sword severed 
Goliath "s head from his body. The 
Goliath of II Sam. 21:19 is probably 
a different person. 

3. At 21 inches per cubit, equals 
lliA feet; at 18 inches, equals 9V, 
feet. 

4. An armor or covering for the 
body made of overlapping plates of 
brass. 

5. Each shekel equals one-half 
ounce avoir. ; 5.000 shekels equal 100 
lbs., as the weight of the armor. 

6. Protections of brass bound over 
his shins. 

7. A shield. 

S. About IS lbs. 

9. About one bushel. 

10. Slices of curdled milk. 



CHAPTER. 17. 
Goliath's proud challenge. 

1 Now the Phi-lis'tines gathered together 
their armies to battle, and were gathered to- 
gether at : Sho'choh, which belongeth to Ju'- 
dah, and_ pitched between Sho'choh and A-ze- 
kah, in E phes-dam'mim. 

2 And Saul and the men of Is'ra-el were 
gathered together, -and pitched by the valley 
of E'lah, and set the battle in array against 
the Phi-lis'tines. 

3 And the Phi-lis'tines stood on a mountain 
on the one side, and Is'ra-el stood on a moun- 
tain on the other side: and there was a valley 
between them. 

4 r And there went out a champion out of 
the camp of the Phi-lis'tines, named : Go-li'ath, 
of Gath, whose height was 2 six cubits and a 
span. 

5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his 
head, and he was armed with a coat 4 of mail; 
and the weight of the coat was five thousand 
5 shekels of brass. 

6 And he had 5 greaves of brass upon his 
legs, and a T target of brass between his shoul- 
ders. 

7 And the staff of his spear was like a 
weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed 
six hundred s shekels of iron: and one bearing 
a shield went before him. 

8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of 
Is'ra-el, and said unto them, Why are ye come 
out to set your battle in array? am not I a 
Phi-lis'tine, and ye servants to Saul? choose 
you a man for you, and let him come down 
to me. 

9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill 
me, then will we be your servants : but if I pre- 
vail against him, and kill him, then shall ye 
be our servants, and serve us. 

10 And the Phi-lis'tine said, I defy the 
armies of Is'ra-el this day; give me a man, 
that we may fight together. 

11 When Saul and all Is'ra-el heard those 
words of the Phi-lis'tine, they were dismayed, 
and greatly afraid. 

12 *, Now Da'vid was the son of that Eph'- 
rath-ite of Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah, whose name 
was Jes'se; and he had "eight sons: and the 
man went among men for an old man in the 
days of Saul. 

13 And the three eldest sons of Jes'se went 
and followed Saul to the battle: and the names 
of his three sons that went to the battle were 
E-H'ab the firstborn, and next unto him A-bin'- 
a-dab, and the third Sham'mah. 

14 And Da'vid was the youngest: and the 
three eldest followed Saul. 

15 But Da'vid went and returned from Saul 
to feed his father's sheep at Beth'-le-hem. 

16 And the Phi-lis'tine drew near morning 
and evening, and presented himself forty days. 

17 And Jes'se said unto Da'vid his son, 
Take now for thy brethren an 9 ephah of this 
parched com, and these ten loaves, and run 
to the camp to thy brethren; 

18 And carry these ten "cheeses unto the 



f. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are vour wavs 
my ways, saith the Lord. (Is. 55:8.) But Jesus did not commit him- 
self unto them, because he knew all men. (Jno. 2:24.) 

?. Now therefore, so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus 
saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following 
the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel. (II Sam. 7:8.) He 
chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds. (Ps. 
i i 

h. And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he 
rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: 
but he told not his father or his mother what he had done. (Jud. 14:6.) 
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and 
went out to war. 'Jud. 3:10.) And the Spirit of God came upon Saul 
when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatlv. (I Sam 
11:6.) 

i. And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, 



and was departed from Saul. (I Sam. 18:12.) The Philistines be upon 
thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out, 
as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the 
Lord was departed from him. (Jud. 16:20.) Cast me not awav from 
thy presence: and take not thy holy Spirit from me. (Ps. 51:11.) 

j. Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand 
continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. (I Ks. 10:8.) Seest 
thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he 
shall not stand before mean men. (Prov. 22:29.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And 
Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these. And Samuel 
said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There re- 
maineth yet the youngest, and behold, he keepeth the sheep. And 
Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down 
till he come hither. (I Sam. 16:10, 11.) And Jesse begat his first-born 
Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third. (I Chr. 2:13.)

captain of their thousand, and 6 look how thy 
brethren fare, and take their pledge. 

19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of 
is'ra-el, were in the valley of E'lah, fighting 
with the Phi-lis'tines. 

20 H And Da'vid rose up early in the morn- 
ing, and left the sheep with a keeper, and 
took, and went, as Jes'se had commanded him; 
and he came to the trench, as the host was 
going forth to the fight, and shouted for the 
battle. 

21 For Is'ra-el and the Phi-lis'tine§ had put 
the battle in array, army against army. 

22 And Da'vid left "his carriage in the 
hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran 
into the army, and came and saluted his 
brethren. 

23 And as he talked with them, behold, 
there came up the champion, the Phi-lis'tine 
of Gath, 2 Go-li'ath by name, out of the armies 
of the Phi-lis'tine§, and spake according to 
the same words: and Da'vid heard them. 

24 And all the men of Is'ra-el, when they 
saw the man, fled from him, and were sore 
afraid. 

25 And the men of is'ra-el said, Have ye 
seen this man that is come up? surely to defy 
Is'ra-el is he come up : and it shall be, that 
the man who killeth him, the king will enrich 
him with great riches, and will give him his 
daughter, and make his father's house free in 
is'ra-el. 

26 And Da'vid spake to the men that stood 
by him, saying, What shall be done to the man 
that killeth this Phi-lis'tine, and taketh away 
the reproach from is'ra-el? for who is this 
^uncircumcised Phi-lis'tine, that he should defy 
the armies of ^the living God? 

27 And the people answered him after this 
manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man 
that killeth him. 

28 11 And E-h'ab his eldest brother heard 
when he spake unto the men; and c E-li'ab's 
anger was kindled against Da'vid, and he said, 
Why earnest thou down hither? and with 
whom hast thou left those few sheep in the 
wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naught- 
iness of thine heart; for thou art come down 
that thou mightest see the battle. 

29 And Da'vid said, What have I now done? 
Is there 12 not a cause? 

30 If And he turned from him toward an- 
other, and spake after the same manner: and 
the people answered him again after the for- 
mer manner. 

31 And when the words were heard which 
Da'vid spake, they rehearsed them before 
Saul: and he sent for him. 

32 1f And Da'vid said to Saul, Let no man's

carried, such as those holding the 
parched corn, the ten loaves and the 
cheese, which Jesse 'had sent by him 
to the camp.

committed, what is the proof? 



13. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



14. A pouch or knapsack.

verses, abound in Homer. 



heart fail because of him; thy servant will go 
and fight with this Phi-lis'tine. 

33 And Saul said to Da'vid, Thou art not 
able to go against this Phi-lis'tine to fight with 
him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man 
of war from his youth. 

34 And Da'vid said unto Saul, Thy servant 
kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, 
and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 

35 And I went out after him, and smote him, 
and delivered it out of his mouth: and when 
he arose against me, I caught him by his 
beard, and smote him, and slew him. 

36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the 
bear: and this uncircumcised Phi-lis'tine shall 
be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the 
armies of the ^living God. 

37 Da'vid said moreover, The "Lord that 
f delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and 
out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me 
out of the hand of this Phi-lis'tine. And Saul 
said unto Da'vid, Go, and the "Lord ^be with 
thee. 

38 1f And Saul armed Da'vid with his ar- 
mour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his 
head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 

39 And Da'vid girded his sword upon his 
armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not 
proved it. And Da'vid said unto Saul, I can- 
not go with these; for I have not proved them. 
And Da'vid put them off him. 

40 And he took his staff in his hand, and 
chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, 
and put them in a shepherd's bag which he 
had, even in a "scrip; and his sling was in 
his hand: and he drew near to the Phi-lis'- 
tine. 

41 And the Phi-lis'tine came on and drew 
near unto Da'vid; and the man that bare the 
shield went before him. 

42 And when the Phi-lis'tine looked about, 
and saw Da'vid, he ''disdained him: for he 
was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair 
countenance. 

43 And the Phi-lis'tine said unto Da'vid, 
Am I l a dog, that thou comest to me with 
1D staves? 16 And the Phi-lis'tine cursed Da'vid 
by his gods. 

44 And the Phi-lis'tine said ^'to Da'vid, 
Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the 
fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 

45 Then said Da'vid to the Phi-lis'tine, 
Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a 
spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee 
in the name fc of the 13 Lord of hosts, the God 
of the armies of is'ra-el, whom thou hast de- 
fied. 

46 This day will the "Lord deliver thee into 
mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take 



b. Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and 
well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of 
the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. (Gen. 37:14.) 

c. And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, 
and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be 
that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord 
to save by many or by few. (I Sam. 14:6.) 

d. But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an ever- 
lasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations 
shall not be able to abide his indignation. (Jer. 10:10.) Charge them 
that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in 
uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things 
to enjoy. (I Tim. 6:17.) 

e. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more 
than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably 
unto him (4). And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign 
over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated 
him yet the more for his dreams and for his words (8). And his brethren 
envied him, but his father observed the saying. (Gen. 37:4, 8, 11.) And a 
man's foes shall be they of his own household. (Mat. 10:36.) 

f. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me; 
for they were too strong for me. (Ps. 18:16, 17.) Because thou hast 
been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. (Ps. 
63:7.) I will remember the works of the Lord; surely I will remember 
thy wonders of old. (Ps. 77:11.) 

g. The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan; but if it please 
my father to do the evil, then I will show it thee, and send thee away, 
that thou mayest go in peace; and the Lord be with thee as he hath 
been with my father. (I Sam. 20:13.) Now, my son, the Lord be with 



thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the Lord thy God, as 
he hath said of thee (11). Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the 
iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the Lord 
be with thee. (I Chr. 22:11, 16.) 

h. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not 
with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none 
effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolish- 
ness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (I Cor. 
1:17, 18.) 

i. After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost 
thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea. (I Sam. 24:14.) Am I a 
dog's head, which against Judah do show kindness this day unto the 
house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have 
not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me 
today with a fault concerning this woman? (II Sam. 3:8.) 

j. And Benhadad sent unto him and said, The gods do so unto me 
and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuis for all 
the people that follow me. And the king of Israel answered and said, 
Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he 
that putteth it off. (I Ks. 20:10, 11.) 

k. God is my strength and power; and he maketh my way perfect 
(33). He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken 
by mine arms. (II Sam. 22:33, 35.) Our help is in the name of the Lord, 
who made heaven and earth. (Ps. 124:8.) They that trust in the Lord 
shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 
(Ps. 125:1.) For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty 
through God to the pulling down of strongholds. (II Cor. 10:4.) Who 
through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained prom- 
ises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped 
the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant 
in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. (Heb. 11:33 34.)

thine head from thee; and I will give the car- 
cases of the host of the Phi-lis'tine§ this day 
unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild 
beasts of the earth ; that all the earth may 
know 'that there is a God in Is'ra-el. 

47 And all this assembly shall know that the 
"Lord saveth "'not with sword and spear: for 
the battle "is the "Lord's, and he will give you 
into our hands. 

48 And it came to pass, when the Phi-lis'- 
tine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet 
Da'vid, that Da'vid hasted, and ran toward 
the army to meet the Phi-lis'tine. 

49 And Da'vid put his hand in his bag, and 
took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote 
the Phi-lis'tine in his forehead, that the stone 
sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his 
face to the earth. 

50 So Da'vid "prevailed over the Phi-lis'- 
tlne with a sling and with a stone, and smote 
the Phi-lis'tine, and slew him; but there was 
no sword in the hand of Da'vid. 

51 Therefore Da'vid ran, and stood upon the 
Phi-lis'tine, and took his sword, and drew it 
out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and 
cut off his head therewith. And when the 
Phl-lis'tine§ saw their champion was dead, 
Pthey fled. 

52 And the men of is'ra-el and of Ju'dah 
arose, and shouted, and pursued the Phi-lis'- 
tine?, until thou come to the valley, and to the 
gates of Ek'ron. And the wounded of the 
Phi-lis'tine§ fell down by the way to Sha-a- 
ra'im, even unto Gath, and unto Ek'ron. 

53 And the children of is'ra-el returned 
from chasing after the Phi-lis'tine§, and they 
spoiled their tents. 

54 And Da'vid took the head of the Phi- 
lis'tine, and brought it to Je-ru'sa-lem; but he 
put his armour in his tent. 

55 11 And when Saul saw Da'vid go_ forth 
against the Phi-lis'tine, he said unto Ab'ner, 
the captain of the host, Ab'ner, whose son «is 
this youth? And Ab'ner said, As thy soul 
liveth, king, I cannot tell. 

56 And the king said, Enquire thou whose 
son the stripling is. 

57 And as Da'vid returned from the 'slaugh- 
ter of the Phi-lis'tine§, Ab'ner took him, and 
brought him before Saul with the head of the 
Phi-lis'tine in his hand. 

58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art 
thou, thou young man? And Da'vid answered, 
I am the son of thy servant Jes'se the Beth'- 
le-hem-ite.

CHAPTER 18. 
1 Jonathan loveth David. 5 Saul envieth his 
■praise, 10 seeketh to kill him in his fury, 
12 feareth him for his good success, 17 of- 
fereth him his daughters for a snare. 22 
David giveth two hundred foreskins of the 
Philistines for Michal's dowry. 

1 And it came to pass, when he had made 
an 'end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of 
Jon'a-than was knit with the soul of Da'vid, 
and "Jon'a-than loved him as his own soul. 

2 And Saul took him that day, and would 
let him go no more home to his father's house. 

3 Then Jon'a-than and Da'vid made a cove- 
nant, because he loved him as his own soul. 

4 And Jon'a-than stripped himself of the" 
robe that was upon him, and gave it to Da'vid, 
and his garments, even to his sword, and to 
his bow, and to his girdle. 

5 If 2 And Da'vid went out whithersoever 
Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: 
and Saul set him over the men of war, and he 
was accepted in the sight of all the people, and 
also in the sight of Saul's servants. 

6 And it came to pass as they came, when 
Da'vid was returned from the slaughter of the 
Phi-lis'tine, that the women came out of all 
cities of is'ra-el, singing 6 and dancing, to meet 
king Saul, with 3 tabrets, with joy, and with 
instruments of musick. 

7 And the women answered one another as 
they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thou- 
sands, and Da'vid his ten thousands. 

8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying 
displeased him; and he said, They have 
ascribed unto Da'vid ten thousands, and to me 
they have ascribed but thousands: and what 
can he have more but the kingdom? 

9 And Saul eyed 'Da'vid from that day and 
forward. 

10 °1f And it came to pass on the morrow, 
that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, 
"and he "prophesied in the midst of the house: 
and Da'vid played with his hand, as at other 
times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. 

11 And Saul ''cast the javelin; for he said, 
I will smite Da'vid even to the wall with it. 
And Da'vid avoided out of his presence twice. 

12 If And Saul was afraid of Da'vid, because 
the 7 Lord c was with him, and was departed 
ffvom Saul. 

13 s Therefore Saul removed him from him, 
and made him his captain over a thousand; 
and he went #out and came in before the 
people. 

14 And Da'vid behaved himself wisely in 
all his ways; and the 'Lord ''was with him. 



1. That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the 
Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever. 
(Josh. 4:24.) Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he 
might make his mighty power to be known. (Ps. 106:8.) Thou hast a

89:13.) 

m. For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 
But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame

Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save

a. And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved 
him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul. (I Sam. 20:17.) I am 



distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant hast thou been 
unto me; thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 
(II Sam. 1:26.) A man that hath friends must show himself friendly, 
and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (Prov. 18:24. ) 

b. And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel 
in her hand; and all the women went cut after her with timbrels and with 
dances. (Ex. 15:20.) And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and 
behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with 
dances; and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor 
daughter. (Jud. 11:34.) 

c. And it came to pass, when mid-day was past, and they prophe- 
sied until the time of the offering <jf the evening sacrifice, that there 
was neither voice nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. (I Ks.

possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters 
much gain by soothsaying. (Acts 16:16.) 

d. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to 
stand before envy? (Prov. 27:4.) 

e. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst 
of his brethren, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that 
day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. (I Sam. 16:13.) 

f. And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring 
me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines 
make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me 
no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams; therefore I have called 
thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. (I Sam. 
28:15.) 

g. Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that 
ledest out and broughtest in Israel; and the Lord said to thee, Thou

15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he be- 
haved himself very wiseiy, he was afraid of 
him. 

16 But all Is'ra-el and Ju'dah loved Da'vid, 
because he went out and came in before them. 

17 "If And Saul said to Da'vid, Behold my 
elder daughter Me'rab, her 'will I give thee to 
wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight 
the 'Lord's •'battles. For Saul said, Let not 
mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of 
the Phi-lis'tme§ be upon him. 

18 And Da'vid said unto Saul, Who A 'am I? 
and what is my life, or my father's family in 
Is'ra-el, that I should be son in law to the 
king? 

19 But it came to pass at the time when 
Me'rab Saul's daughter should have been given 
to Da'vid, that she was given unto A'dri-el the 
Me-hol'ath-ite to wife. 

20 And Ml'chal Saul's daughter loved Da'- 
vid: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased 
him. 

21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that 
she may be a 'snare to him, and that the hand 
of the Phi'lis-tine§ may be against him. 
Wherefore Saul said to Da'vid, Thou shalt this 
day be my son in law in the one of the twain. 

22 If And Saul commanded his servants, say- 
ing, Commune with Da'vid secretly, and say, 
Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all 
his servants love thee: now therefore be the 
king's son in law. 

23 And Saul's servants spake those words in 
the ears of Da'vid. And Da'vid said, Seemeth 
it to you a light thing to be a king's son in 
law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly 
esteemed? 

24 And the servants of Saul told him, say- 
ing, On this manner spake Da'vid. 

25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to Da'- 
vid, The king desireth '"not any dowry, but an 
hundred foreskins of the Phi-lis'tme§, to be 
avenged of the . king's enemies. But Saul 
thought to make' Da'vid fall by the hand of 
the Phi-lis'tine§. 

26 And when his servants told Da'vid these 
words, it pleased Da'vid well to be the king's 
son in law: and the days were not expired. 

27 Wherefore Da'vid arose and went, he and 
his men, and slew of the Phi-lis'tTne§ two hun- 
dred men; and "Da'vid brought their foreskins, 
and they gave them in full I0 tale to the king, 
that he might be the king's son in law. And 
Saul gave him Ml'chal his daughter to wife. 

28 If And Saul saw and knew that the 'Lord 
was with Da'vid, and that Ml'chal Saul's 
daughter loved him. 

29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of 
Da'vid; and Saul became Da'vid's enemy con- 
tinually.

miscarry. The king, rinding that it 
was going to be impossible to bring

devised, openly instructs his officers 
and his son Jonathan to kill David,

forth: and it came to pass, after they went 
forth, that Da'vid behaved himself "more wise- 
ly than all the servants of Saul; so that his 
name was much set by. 

CHAPTER 19. 

1 Jonathan discloseth his father's purpose to 
kill David. 4 He persuadeth his father to 
reconciliation. 8 By reason of David's good 
success in a, new war, Saul's malicious rage 
breaketh out against him. 20 Saul's mes- 
sengers sent to take David, 22 and Saul 
himself, prophesy. 

1 J And Saul a spake to J5n'a-than his son, 
and to all his servants, that they should kill 
Da'vid. 

2 But Jon'a-than Saul's son delighted much 
in Da'vid: and Jon'a-than told Da'vid, saying, 
Saul my father ^seeketh to kill thee: now 
therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself 
until the morning, and abide in a secret place, 
and hide thyself: 

3 And I will go out and stand beside my 
father in the field where thou art, and I will 
commune with my father of thee; and what I 
see, that I will tell thee. 

4 If And Jon'a-than spake good of Da'vid 
unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let 
not the king c sin against his servant, against 
Da'vid; because he hath not sinned against 
thee, and because his works have been to thee- 
ward very good: 

5 For he did put his f 'life in his hand, and 
c slew the Phi-lis'tine, and the 2 Lord wrought 
a great ^salvation for all Is'ra-el: thou sawest 
it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou 
sin against innocent blood, to slay Da'vid 
without a cause? 

6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of 
Jon'a-than: and Saul sware, As the = Lord liv- 
eth, he shall not be slain. 

7 And Jon'a-than called Da'vid, and Jon'a- 
than shewed him all those things. And Jon'a- 
than brought Da'vid to Saul, and he was in 
his presence, as in times past. 

8-1f 3 And there was war "again: and Da'vid 
went out, and fought with the Phi-lis'tlnes, 
and slew them with a great slaughter; and 
they fled from him. 

9 And ^the evil spirit from the 2 Lord was 
upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his 
javelin in his hand: and Da'vid played with 
his hand. 

10 And Saul ''sought to smite Da'vid even to 
the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away 
out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin 
into the wall: and Da'vid fled, and escaped 
that night. 

11 { Saul also sent messengers unto Da'vid's 
house, to watch him, and to slay him in the 
morning: and Ml'chal Da'vid's wife told him, 



and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. (Gen. 39:2.) So 
the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the 
country. (Josh. _6:27.) 

i. See ch. 17, v. 25. 

j. I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid; for the Lord 
will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord flghteth the 
battles of the Lord, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. 
(I Sam. 25:28.) 

k. And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the 
smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the fam- 
ilies of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me? 
(I Sam. 9:21.) Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and 
he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house that thou hast 
brought me hitherto? (II Sam. 7:18.) 

1. And Pharaoh's servant said unto him, How long shall this man 
be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their 
God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? (Ex. 10:7.) 

m. Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give accord- 
ing as ye shall say unto me; but give me the damsel to wife. (Gen. 
34:12.) If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay 
money according to the dowry of virgins. (Ex. 22:17.) 

n. And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, saying, De- 
liver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred fore- 
skins of the Philistines. (II Sam. 3:14.) 

o. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adver- 
saries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. (Luke 21:15.) And they 
were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. 
(Acts 6:10.) 



Chapter 19. 

a. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to 
stand before envy? (Prov. 27:4.) 

b. And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he 
went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. (Acts 23:16.) 

c. And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, say- 
ing, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, 
behold, also his blood is required. (Gen. 42:22.) 

d And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my 
hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord 
delivered them into my hand; wherefore then are ye come up unto me 
this day, to fight against me? (Jud. 12:3.) My soul is continually in 
my hand; yet do I not forget thy law. (Ps. 119:109.) 

e. See ch. 17, v. 49. 

f. And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day; 
for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel. (I Sam. 11:13.) 
And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, 
and slew the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great de- 
liverance. (I Chr. 11:14.) 

g. But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil 
spirit from the Lord troubled him. (I Sam. 16:14.) And Saul was afraid 
of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from 
Saul. (I Sam. 18:12.) The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he 
awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out, as at other times before, 
and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from 
him. (Jud. 16:20.) Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not 
thy Holy Spirit from me. (Ps. 51:11.)

saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to 
morrow thou shalt be slain. 

12 If So Mi'chal 'let Da'vid down through a 
window: and he went, and fled, and escaped. 

13 And Mi'chal took an image, and laid it in 
the bed, and put a pillow of goats' 5 hair for 
his bolster, and covered it with a cloth. 

14 And when Saul sent messengers to take 
Da'vid, she said, He is sick. 

15 And Saul sent the messengers again to 
see Da'vid, saying, Bring him up to me in the 
bed, that I may slay him. 

16 And when the messengers were come in, 
behold, there was an image in the bed, with a 
pillow of goats' hair for his bolster. 

17 And Saul said unto Mi'chal, Why hast 
thou deceived me so, and sent away mine 
enemy, that he is escaped? And Mi'chal an- 
swered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why 
should I kill thee? 

18 If c So Da'vid fled, and escaped, and came 
to Sam'u-el to ;: Ra'mah, and told him all that 
Saul had done to him. And he and Sam'u-el 
went and dwelt in Na'ioth. 

19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, 
Da'vid is at Na'ioth in Ra'mah. 

20 And Saul sent messengers to take Da'- 
vid: and when they 7 saw the company of the 
prophets prophesying, and Sam'u-el standing 
as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was 
upon the messengers of Saul, and they also 
'prophesied. 

21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other 
messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And 
Saul sent messengers again the s third time, 
and they prophesied also. 

22 Then went s he also to Ra'mah, and came 
to a great well that is in Se'chu: and 9 he 
asked and said, Where are Sam'u-el and Da'- 
vid? And one said, Behold, they be at Na'ioth 
in Ra'mah. 

23 And 9 he went thither to Na'ioth in Ra'- 
mah: and "'the Spirit of God was upon s him 
also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he 
came to Na'ioth in Ra'mah. 

24 And 9 he stripped off his clothes also, -and 
prophesied before Sam'u-el in like manner, and

unto the Lord, two young bullocks,

and came and said before Jon'a-than, What 
have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what 
is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh 
my life? 

2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou 
shalt not die: behold, my father will do noth- 
ing either great or small, but that he will shew 
it me: and why should my father hide this 
thing from me? it is not so. 

3 And Da'vid sware moreover, and said, Thy 
father certainly knoweth that I have found 
grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not 
Jon'a-than know this, lest he be grieved: but 
truly as the ^ord liveth, and as thy soul liv- 
eth, there is but a step between me and death. 

4 Then said Jon'a-than unto Da'vid, What- 
soever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for 
thee. 

5 And Da'vid said unto Jon'a-than, Behold, 
to morrow is the mew "moon, and I should not 
fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me 
go, that I may 6 hide myself in the field unto 
the third day at even. 

6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, 
Da'vid earnestly asked leave of me that he 
might run to Beth'-le-hem his city: for there 
is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 

7 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall 
have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be 
sure that evil is determined by him. 

8 Therefore thou shalt c 'deal kindly with thy 
servant; for thou hast brought thy servant 
into a ^covenant of the x Lord with thee: not- 
withstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay 
me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me 
to. thy father? 

9 And Jon'a-than said, Far be it from thee: 
for if I knew certainly that evil were deter- 
mined by my father to come upon thee, then 
would not I tell it thee? 

10 Then said Da'vid to J5n'a-than, Who shall 
tell me? or what if thy father answer thee 
roughly? 

11 If And Jon'a-than said unto Da'vid, Come, 
and let us go out into the field. And they went 
out both of them into the field. 

12 And Jon'a-than said unto Da'vid, O Lord 
God of Is'ra-el, when I have sounded my father 
about to morrow any time, or the third day, 
and, behold, if there be good toward Da'vid, 
and I then send not unto thee, and shew it 
thee; 

13 The Lord do so e and much more to 
Jon'a-than: but if it please my father to do 
thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send 
thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and 
the Lord be with 3 thee, as he hath been with 
my father. 

14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live 



(Job. 5:2.) For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. 
(Prov. 1:16.) The bloodthirsty hate the upright; but the just seek his 
soul. (Prov. 29:10.) 

i. See Ps. 59. 

j. Then she let them down by a cord through the window ; for her 
house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. (Josh. 
2:15.) But their lying awake was known of Saul. And they watched 
the gates day and night to kill him. Then the disciples took him by 
night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. (Acts 9:24, 25.) 

k. A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adver- 
sity. (Prov. 17:17.) For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and 
they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the 
Lord of hosts. (Mai. 2:7.) 

1. And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and 
took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy 
elders; and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they 
prophesied, and did not cease. (Num. 11:25.) And it shall come to pass 
afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons 
and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, 
your young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28.) 

m. The Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent 
him as he would have rent a kid, and be had nothing in his hand; 
but he told not his father or his mother what he had done. (Jud. 14:6.) 
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and 
went out to war. (Jud. 3:10.) And the Spirit of God came upon Saul 
when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly. (I 
Sam. 11:6.) Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in 
midst of bis brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David 
from that day forward. (I Sam. 16:13.) Cast me not away from thy 
and take not thy holy spirit from me. (Ps. 51:11.) 



n. Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked; 
I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. (Mic. 
1:8.) 

o. And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw 
that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said 
one to another, What is this that is come upon the son of Kish? Is 
Saul also among the prophets? (I Sam. 10:11.) But all that heard him 
were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them which called 
on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he 
might bring them down unto the chief priests? (Acts 9:21.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and 
in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets 
over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offer- 
ings: that they may be to you for a memorial before your God; I am 
the Lord your God. (Num. 10:10.) Speak unto the children of Israel, 
saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye 
have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convoca- 
tion. (Lev. 23:24.) 

b. See ch. 19:2. 

c. And the men answered her. Our life for yours, if ye utter not this 
our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, 
that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. (Josh. 2:14.) 

d. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved 
him as his own soul. (I Sam. 18:3.) And they two made a covenant 
before the Lord: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to 
his house. (I Sam. 23:18.) 

e. Where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried: the 
Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. 
(Ruth 1:17.)

shew me the kindness of the 'Lord, that I die 
not: 

15 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kind- 
ness from my house for ever: no, not when 
the 'Lord hath cut off the enemies of Da'vid 
every one from the face of the earth. 

16 So Jon'a-than made a ^covenant with the 
house of Da'vid, saying, Let the 'Lord even 
require it at the hand of David's enemies. 

17 And Jon'a-than caused Da'vid to swear 
again, because he loved him: for he loved him 
as he loved his own soul. 

18 Then Jon'a-than said to Da'vid, To mor- 
row is the new moon : and thou shalt be missed, 
because thy seat will be empty. 

19 And when thou hast stayed three days, 
then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to 
Hhe place where thou didst hide thyself when 
the 4 business was in hand, and shalt remain by 
the stone E'zel. 

20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side 
thereof, as though I shot at a mark. 

21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, 
find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto 
the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of 
thee, take them; then come thou: for there is 
peace to thee, and no hurt; ^as the 'Lord 
liveth. 

22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Be- 
hold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: 
for the Lord hath sent thee away. • 

23 And as touching the matter which thou 
and I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be be- 
tween thee and me for ever. 

24 If So Da'vid »hid himself in the field: and 
when the new moon was come, the king sat him 
down to eat meat. 

25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at 
other times, even upon a seat by the wall : and 
Jon'a-than arose, and Ab'ner sat by Saul's side, 
and Da'vid's place was empty. 

26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing 
that day: for he thought, Something hath be- 
fallen him, he is *not clean; surely he is not 
clean. 

27 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
which was the second day of the month, that 
Da'vid's place was empty: and Saul said unto 
Jon'a-than his son, Wherefore cometh not the 
son of Jes'se to meat, neither yesterday nor to 
day? 

28 And Jon'a-than answered Saul, Da'vid 
earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth'-le- 
hem: 

29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for 
our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my 
brother, he hath commanded me to be there: 
and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, 
let me get away, I pray thee, and see my 
brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the 
king's table. 

30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against 
Jon'a-than, and he said unto him, Thou son of 
the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know 



4. That is, that business or affair 
similar to the one now in hand, when 
Jonathan was interceding in behalf of 
David in the preceding eh. 



5. The first time that Saul reveals 
his feelings that David is to occupy 
the throne. 



6. Heretofore, Jonathan had at- 
tributed bis father's attempts to take 
the life of David to his fits of anger, 
but now he realizes the king's ulterior 
purpose and, true to his promise, he 
arises abruptly from the table to 
hastily bid David to flee for his life. 



7. His bow, arrow and quiver. 



8. That is. surpass Jonathan in 
the exhibition of his grief. 



Ch. 21. B. C. 1062. 



1. Vs. 1-9 detail David's flight to 
Nob. where he goes for the purpose 
of escaping from the frenzied Saul 
and to meet the high priest to inquire 
of the Lord concerning his way, but 
he meets with an obstacle in Doeg, 
the Edomite. 



2. A city situated a little north of 
Jerusalem, but in sight of it. 



3. Pure fabrications for the pur- 
pose of deceiving Ahimelech, allaying 
any suspicions and make sure his 
escape from the king. 



that thou hast chosen the son of Jes'se to thine 
own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy 
mother's nakedness? 

31 For as long 5 as the son of Jes'se liveth 
upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, 
nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and 
fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. 

32 And Jon'a-than answered Saul his father, 
and said unto him, Wherefore ^hall he be 
slain? what hath he done? 

33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite 
him: whereby Jon'a-than knew that it was de- 
termined of his father to slay "Da'vid. 

34 So Jon'a-than arose from the table in 
fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second 
day of the month: for he was grieved for 
Da'vid, because his father had done him shame. 

35 If And it came to pass in the morning, 
that Jon'a-than went out into the field at the 
time appointed with Da'vid, and a little lad 
with him. 

36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out 
now the arrows which I shoot. And as the 
lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 

37 And when the lad was come to the place 
of the arrow which Jon'a-than had shot, Jon'- 
a-than cried after the lad, and said, Is not 
the arrow beyond thee? 

38 And Jon'a-than cried after the lad, Make 
speed, haste, stay not. And Jon'a-than's lad 
gathered up the arrows, and came to his mas- 
ter. 

39 But the lad knew not any thing: only 
Jon'a-than and Da'vid knew the matter. 

40 And Jon'a-than gave his 7 artillery unto 
his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to 
the city. 

41 If And as soon as the lad was gone, Da'vid 
arose out of a place toward the south, and 
fell on his face to the ground, and bowed him- 
self three times: and they kissed one another, 
and wept one with another, until Da'vid "ex- 
ceeded. 

42 And Jon'a-than said to Da'vid, Go in 
peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of 
us in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord 
be between me and thee, and between my seed 
and thy seed for ever. And he arose and de- 
parted: and Jon'a-than went into the city. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 David at Nob obtaineth of Ahimelech hal- 
lowed bread. 7 Doeg was present. 8 David 
taketh Goliath's sword. 10 David at Gath 
feigneth himself mad. 

1 'Then came Da'vid to 2 N5b to A-him'e- 
lech the priest: and A-him'e-lech was afraid 
at the meeting of Da'vid, and said unto him, 
Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? 

2 And Da'vid said 3 unto A-him'e-lech the 
priest, The "king hath commanded me a busi- 
ness, and hath said unto me, Let no man know 
any thing of the business whereabout I send 
thee, and what I have commanded thee: and 



f. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, and 
to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. (Dt. 10:20.) That he 
who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of 
truth: and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of 
truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are 
hid from mine eyes. (Is. 65:16.) And thou shalt swear. The Lord liveth. 
in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless 
themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. (Jer. 4:2.) 

g. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the 
simple pass on, and are punished. (Prov. 27:12.) And a man shall 
be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; 
as rivers of water in a dry place; as the shadow of a great rock in a 
weary land. (Is. 32:2.) 

h. Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the 
uncleanness of man or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean 
thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which per- 
tain unto the Lord., even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 
(Lev. 7:21.) And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath 
the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be 
unclean until the even. And he that toucheth the flesh of .him that hath 
the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be 
unclean until the even (6, 7). And whosoever toucheth any thing that 
was under him shall be unclean until the even; and he that beareth any 



of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and 
be unclean until the even. And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the 
issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, 
and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. (Lev. 
15:6, 7, 10, 11.) 

i. And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban ; and Jacob an- 
swered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that 
thou hast so hotly pursued after me? (Gen. 31:36.) For he did put his 
life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a 
great salvation for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; where- 
fore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a 
cause? (I Sam. 19:5.) Deliver the poor and needy; rid them out of 
the hand of the wicked. (Ps. 82:4.) A true witness delivereth souls; 
but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. (Prov. 14:25.) If thou forbear 
to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready 
to be slain. (Prov. 24:11.) Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and 
plead the cause of the poor and needy. (Prov. 31:9.) Why, what evil 
hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be cruci- 
15:6, 7, 10, 11.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. Remove from me the way of lying; and grant me thy law 
graciously. (Ps. 119:29.) Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep 
the door of my lips. (Ps. 141:3.) The fear of man bringeth a snare, but 
whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. (Prov. 29:25.)

I have appointed my servants to such and 
such a place. 

3 Now therefore what 4 is under thine hand? 
give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or 
what there is present. 

4 And the priest answered Da'vid, and said, 
There is no common bread under mine hand, 
but there is 'hallowed bread; if the young men 
have kept themselves at least from "women. 

•5 And David answered the priest, and said 
unto him, Of a truth women have been kept 
from us about these three days, since I came 
out, and the 'vessels of the young men are 
holy, and the bread is 'in a manner common, 
yea, though it were sanctified this day in the 
vessel. 

6 So the priest c gave him hallowed bread: 
for there was no bread there but the shew- 
bread, that was taken from before the 7 Lord, 
to put hot bread in the day when it was taken 
away. 

7 Xow a certain man of the servants of 
Saul was there that day, detained before the 
7 Lord; and his name was ^Do'eg, an E'dom-ite, 
the chiefest of the s herdmen that belonged to 
Saul. 

8 ""And Da'vid said unto A-him'e-lech, And 
is there not here under thine hand spear or 
sword? for I have neither brought my sword 
nor my weapons with me, because the king's 
business required haste. 

9 And the priest said, The sword of Go-li'ath 
the Phi-lis'tine, whom thou slewest in the val- 
ley of E'lah, behold, it is here wrapped in a 
cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, 
take it: for there is no other save that here. 
And Da'vid said, There is none like that; give 
it me. 

10 r ''And Da'vid arose, and ! "fled that day 
for fear of Saul, and went to A'chish the l: king 
of Gath. 

11 And the servants of A'chish said unto 
him, Is not this Da'vid the king of the land? 
did they not sing one to another of him in 
dances, saying, 'Saul hath slain his thousands, 
and Da'vid his ten thousands? 

12 And Da'vid laid up these words in his 
heart, and was sore afraid of A'chish the king 
of Gath. 

13 And he changed his behaviour before 
them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, 
and ^scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and 
let his spittle fall down upon his beard. 

14 Then said A'chish unto his servants, Lo, 
ye see the man "is mad: wherefore then have 
ye brought him to me? 

15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have 
brought this fellow to play the mad man in 
my presence? shall this fellow come into my 
house? 

CHAPTER 22. 

1 Companies resort unto David at Advllani. 

5 Admonished by Gad, he cometh to Hareth. 

6 Saul, going to pursue him, complaineth of 
his servants' unfaithfulness. 11 Saul com- 
mandeth to kill the priests. 17 The foot- 
men refusing, Doeg executeth it. 



4. What food hast thou on hand? 



5. That is. their persons. This 
word is used also in I Thess. 4:4. 
"That every one of you should know 
how to possess this vessel in sanctifi- 
cation and honor." 



6. The Hebrew literally rendered 
reads. "And this way is common and 
how much more today sanctified in 
the vessel" (Clarke). The Hebrew 
is doubtless correct as David would 
not have called common and unclean 
that which Jehovah had sanctified. 



7. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

S. Overseer and manager of this 
department of the king's affairs. 



9. Vs. 10-15, tell of David at Gath.

coming so great that he secretly flees 
from Xob. 



11. Tpon this occasion David com- 
posed the 106 psalms. 



12. ilade marks. 



13. There has always been a pe- 
culiar surt of respect and protection 
throughout the east guaranteed to 
those who were supposed to be under 
some kind of supernatural influence; 
thus David knew that his madness 
guaranteed his safety.

1 'Da'vid therefore ^departed thence, and es- 
caped ff to the cave A-dul'lam: and when his 
brethren and all his father's house heard it, 
they went down thither to him. 

2 And every one that was in distress, and 
every one that was in debt, and every one that 
was discontented, gathered themselves unto 
him; and he became a captain over them: and 
there were with him about four hundred men. 

3 " And Da'vid went thence to Mizpeh of 
Mo'ab: and he said unto the king of Mo'ab. 
'Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, 
come forth, and be with you, till I know what 
God will do for me. 

4 And he brought them before the king of 
Mo'ab: and they dwelt with him all the while 
that Da'vid was in the 4 hold. 

5 r And the prophet = Gad °said unto Da'vid, 
Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee 
into the land of Jii'dah. Then Da'vid departed, 
and came into the forest of Ha'reth. 

6 r °When Saul heard that Da'vid was dis- 
covered, and the men that were with him, 
(now Saul abode in Gib'e-ah under a tree in 
Ra'mah, having his spear in his hand, and all 
his servants were standing about him;) 

7 Then Saul said unto his servants that 
stood about him, Hear now, ye Ben'ja-mites ; 
will the son of Jes'se give every one of you 
fields and vineyards, and make you all cap- 
tains of thousands, and captains of hundreds; 

8 That all of you have conspired against 
me, and there is none that sheweth me that my 
d son hath made a league with the son of Jes'se, 
and there is none of you that is sorry for me, 
or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred 
up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as 
at this day? 

9 H Then answered c D5'eg the E'dom-ite, 
which was set over the servants of Saul, and 
said, I saw the son of Jes'se coming to Nob, 
to A-him'e-lech the son of A-hi'tub. 

10 And he enquired of the T Lord for him, 
and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword 
of Go-li'ath the Phi-lis'tlne. 

11 Then the king sent to call A-him'e-lech 
the priest, the son of A-hi'tub, and all his 
father's house, the priests that were in Nob: 
and they came all of them to the king. 

12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of 
A-hi'tub. And he answered, Here I am, my 
lord. 

13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye 
conspired against me, thou and the son of 
Jes'se, in that thou hast given him bread, ani 
a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, 
that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, 
as at this day? 

14 Then A-him'e-lech answered the king, 
and said, And who is so faithful among all thy 
servants as Da'vid, which is the king's son in 
law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honour- 
able in thine house? 

15 Did I then begin to enquire of God for 
him? be it far from me: let not the king im- 
pute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the 
house of my father: for thy servant knew 
nothing of all this, s less or more. 



b. And thou shalt set upon the table show bread before me always. 
(Ex. 25:30.) And thou Rhali take fine flour and bake twelve cakes there- 
of; two tenth deals shall be in one cake. (Lev. 24:5.) How he entered into 
the house of God, and did eat the show bread, which was not lawful for 
him to eat, neither for him which were with him, but only for the 
priest? (Mat. 12:4.) 

c. Have ye not read what David aid when he was an hungered, and 
they that were with him? (Mat. 12:3.) Have ye never read what David 
did when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were 
with him? (Ml. 2:25.) Have ye not read so much as this, what David 
did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were with him? 
(Luke C:3.) 

d. See Ps. 52. 

e. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, 
Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. (I Sam.

a. And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in 
the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philis- 



tines pitched in the valley of Rephaim. (II Sam. 23:13.) Get thee hence, 
and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that ir 
before Jordan. (I Ks. 17:3.) They wandered in deserts, and in moun- 
tains, and in dens and caves of the earth. (Heh. 11:38.) 

b. See m, ch. 5, Dt. 

c. And the Lord spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying, Go and 
tell David, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things: 
choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. (I Chr. 21:9, 10.) 
And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with 
psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, 
and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the 
commandment of the Lord by his prophets. (II Chr. 29:25.) 

d. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved 
him as his own soui. (I Sam. 18:3.) Then Saul's anger was kindled 
against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse re- 
bellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse 
to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's naked- 
ness? (I Sam. 20:30.)

16 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, 
A-him'e-leeh, thou, and all thy father's house. 

17 f And the king said unto the footmen 
that stood about him, Turn, and slay the 
priests of the 7 Lord; because their hand also 
is with David, and because they knew when 
he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the 
servants of the king would not put forth their 
hand to fall upon the priests of the 'Lord. 

18 And the king ''said to Do'eg, Turn thou, 
and fall upon the priests. And Do'eg the 
E'dom-ite turned, and he fell upon the priests, 
and slew on that day fourscore and five persons 
that did wear a linen ephod.

Saul had slain the 7 Lord's priests. 

22 And Da'vid said unto A-bi'a-thar, I 
knew it that day, when Do'eg the E'dom-ite 
was there, that he would surely tell Saul : I 
have occasioned the death of all the persons 
of thy father's house. 

23 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he 
that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with 
me thou shalt be in safeguard. 

CHAPTER 23. 
1 David rescueth Keilah. 14 In Ziph Jona- 
than cometh and comforteth him. 19 The 
Ziphites discover him to Saul. 25 At Maon 
he is rescued from Saul by the invasion of 
the Philisti)ies. 29 He dwelleth at En-gedi. 

1 Then they told Da'vid, saying, Behold, the 
Phi-lis'tines fight against Kei'lah, and they 
rob the threshingfloors. 

2 Therefore Da'vid "enquired of the 'Lord, 
saying, Shall I go and smite these Phi-lis'- 
tines? And the "Lord said unto Da'vid, Go, 
and smite the Phi-lis'tines, and save Kei'lah. 

3 And Da'vid's men said unto him, Behold, 
we be afraid here in Ju'dah: how much more 
then if we come to Kei'lah against the armies 
of the Phi-lis'tine§? 

4 Then Da'vid "enquired of the ^ord yet 
again. And the Lord answered him and said, 
Arise, go dowTi to Kei'lah; for I will deliver 
the Phi-lis'tine§ into thine hand. 

5 So Da'vid and his men went to Kei'lah. 
and fougnt with the Phi-lis'tines, and brought 
away their cattle, and smote them with a great 
slaughter. So Da'vid saved the inhabitants of 
Kei'lah.

6 And it came to pass, when A-bi'a-thar the 
son of A-him'e-lech fled to Da'vid to Kei'lah, 
that he came down with an 2 ephod in his hand. 

7 1f And it was told Saul that Da'vid was 
come to Kei'lah. And Saul said, God *hath 
delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut 
in, by entering into a town that hath gates 
and bars. 

8 And Saul called all the people together to 
war, to go down to Kei'lah, to besiege Da'vid 
and his men. 

9 11 And Da'vid knew that Saul secretly 
practised mischief against him; and he said 
to A-bi'a-thar the priest, Bring hither the 
"ephod. 

10 Then said Da'vid, O 'Lord God of Is'ra-el, 
thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul 
seeketh to come to Kei'lah, c to destroy the city 
for my sake. 

11 Will the men of Kei'lah deliver me up 
into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy 
servant hath heard? O 'Lord God of Is'ra-el, 
I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the 
'Lord said, He will come down. 

12 Then said Da'vid, Will the men of Kei'lah 
deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? 
And the 'Lord said, They will deliver thee up. 

13 If Then Da'vid and his men, which were 
about six hundred, arose and departed out of 
Kei'lah, and went whithersoever they could go. 
And it was told Saul that Da'vid was escaped 
from Kei'lah; and he forbare to go forth. 

14 3 And Da'vid abode in the wilderness in 
strong holds, and remained in a mountain in 
the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him 
''every day, but c God delivered him not into his 
hand. 

15 And Da'vid saw that Saul was come out 
to seek his life: and Da'vid was in the wilder- 
ness of Ziph in a wood. 

16 If And Jon'a-than Saul's son arose, and 
went to Da'vid into the wood, and strength- 
ened his hand in God. 

17 And he said unto him, Fear not: for the 
hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; 
and thou shalt be king over is'ra-el, and I 
shall be next unto thee; and ''that also Saul 
my father knoweth. 

18 And they two 'made a ^covenant before 
the 'Lord: and Da'vid abode in the wood, and 
Jon'a-than went to his house. 

19 If Then came up the Ziph'ites to Saul to 
Gib'e-ah, saying, Doth not Da'vid hide himself 
with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill 
of Hach'i-lah, which is on the south of Jesh'- 
i-mon? 

20 Now therefore, O king, come down ac-

will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that 
puffeth at him. (Ps. 12:5.) As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so 
is a wicked ruler over the pocr people. (Prov. 28:15.) 

g. Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because 
he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; Surely 
he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which 
he desired. (Job 20:19, 20.) Why standeth thou afar off, O Lord? why 
hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? (1). To judge the fatherless and 
the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. (Ps. 
10:1, 18.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. And he shall stand before Eleazer the priest, who shall ask 
counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord; at his word 
they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all 
the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. (Num. 
27:21.) Now after the death of Joshua, it came to pass, that the children 
of Israel asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us Against the 
Canaanites first, to fight against them? (Jud. 1:1.) And when Saul en- 
quired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not. neither by dreams, nor 
by Urim, nor by prophets. (I Sam. 28:6.) And David enquired at 
the Lord saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? 
And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and 
without fail recover all. (I Sam. 30:8.) And enquired not of the Lord; 
therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of 
Jesse. (I Chr. 10:14.) I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way 
which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Ps. 32:8.) Com- 
mit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to 
pass. (Ps. 37:5.) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not 
unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and 
he shall direct thy paths. (Prov. 3:5, 6.) O Lord, I know that the way 
of man is not in himself; it is not in man that walketh to direct his 



steps. (Jer. 10:23.) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, 
that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be 
given him. (Ja. 1:5.) 

b. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide 
the spoils; my lust shall be satisfied upon them: I will draw my sword, 
my hand shall destroy them. (Ex. 15:9.) God hath forsaken him; per- 
secute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. (Ps. 71:11.) 

c. And Joab answered and said, Par be it, far be it from me, that 
I should swallow up or destroy. (II Sam. 20:20.) Wherefore Hamau 
sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole king- 
dom of Ahasuerus. even the people of Mordeeai. (Esth. 3:6.) Yea, for 
thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the 
slaughter. (Ps. 44:22.) 

d. For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after 
my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. Behold, God is my 
helper; the Lord is with them, that uphold my soul. (Ps. 54:3, 4.) 

e. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; 
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. (Ps 
32:7.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the 
Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) What shall we then say to these things? if God 
be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) So that we may boldly 
say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do 
unto me. (Heb. 13:6.) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver 
us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory 
for ever. Amen. (Mat. 6:13.) 

f. See ch. 24, v. 20. 

g. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved 
him as his own soul. (I Sam. 18:3.) Therefore thou shalt deal kindly 
with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of 
the Lord with thee; notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay 
me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thv father? (I Sam.

down; and our part shall be to deliver him into 
the king's hand. 

21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the 
'Lord; for ye have compassion on me. 

22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know 
and see his place where his haunt is, and who 
hath seen him there: for it is told me that he 
dealeth very subtilly. 

23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all 
the lurking places where he hideth himself, 
and come ye again to me with the certainty, 
and I will go with you: and it shall come to 
pass, if he be in the land, that I will search 
him out throughout all the thousands of Ju'- 
dah. 

24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before 
Saul : but Da'vid and his men were in the 
wilderness 5 of Ma'on, in the plain on the south 
of Jesh'i-mon. 

25 Saul also and his men went to seek him. 
And they told Da'vid: wherefore he came 
down 'into a rock, and abode in the wilderness 
of Ma'on. And when Saul heard that, he pur- 
sued after Da'vid in the wilderness of Ma'on. 

26 And Saul went on this side of the moun- 
tain, and Da'vid and his men on that side of 
the mountain: and Da'vid ''made haste to get 
away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men 
compassed Da'vid and his men round about to 
take them. 

27 If But there came a messenger unto Saul, 
saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Phi- 
lis'tmes have invaded the land. 

28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing 
after Da'vid, and went against the Phi-lis- 
tines: therefore they called that place Se'la- 
ham-mah-le'koth. 

29 % And Da'vid went up from thence, and 
dwelt in strong holds at En-ge'dl. 

CHAPTER 24. 
1 David in a cave at En-gedi, having cut off 
Saul's skirt, spareth his life. 8 He sheweth 
thereby his innocency. 16 Saul taketh an 
oath of David, and departeth. 

1 And it came to pass, "when Saul was re- 
turned from following the Phi-lis'tine§, that it 
was told him, saying, Behold, Da'vid is in the 
wilderness of En-ge'di. 

2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen 
men out of all Is'ra-el, and went to seek 'Da'- 
vid and his men upon the rocks of the wild 
goats. 

3 And he came to the 'sheepcotes by the 
way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to 
cover his feet: and Da'vid and his men re- 
mained in the sides of the cave. 

4 And the men of Da'vid said unto him, 
Behold the day of which the Lord said unto 
thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into 
thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it 
shall seem good unto thee. Then Da'vid arose, 
and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily. 

5 And it came to pass afterward, that Da'- 
vid's c heart smote him, because he had cut off 
Saul's skirt. 

6 And he said unto his men, The 2 Lord for-

bid that I should do this thing unto my master, 
the 2 Lord's anointed, to stretch forth mine 
hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of 
the 2 Lord. 

7 So Da'vid ^stayed his servants with these 
words, and suffered them not to rise against 
Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and 
went on his way. 

8 Da'vid also arose afterward, and went out 
of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My 
lord the king. And when Saul looked behind 
him, Da'vid stooped with his face to the earth, 
and bowed himself. 

9 If And Da'vid said to Saul, Wherefore 
hearest f thou men's words, saying, Behold, 
Da'vid seeketh thy hurt? 

10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how 
that the 2 Lord had 'delivered thee to day into 
mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill 
thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I 
will not put forth mine hand against my lord; 
for he is the 2 Lord's anointed. 

11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the 
skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut 
off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, 
know thou and see that there is neither evil 
nor transgression in mine hand, and I have 
not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my 
soul to take it. 

12 The 2 Lord ^judge between me and thee, 
and the 2 Lord avenge me of thee: but mine 
hand shall not be upon thee. 

13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, 
Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but 
mine hand shall not be upon thee. 

14 After whom is the king A of Is'ra-el come 
out? after whom dost thou pursue? after 3 a 
dead dog, after a flea. 

15 The 2 Lord therefore be judge, and judge 
between me and thee, and see, and plead my 
cause, and deliver me out of thine hand. 

16 If And it came to pass, when Da'vid had 
made an end of speaking these words unto 
Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son 
Da'vid? And Saul lifted up his voice, and 
wept. 

17 And he said to Da'vid, Thou art 'more 
righteous than I : for thou hast rewarded -'me 
good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil. 

18 And thou hast shewed this day how that 
thou hast dealt well with rne: forasmuch as 
when the Lord had ^delivered me into thine 
hand, thou killedst me not. 

19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let 
him go well away? wherefore the 2 Lord re- 
ward thee good for that thou hast done unto 
me this day. 

20 And now, behold, l 'I know well that thou 
shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of 
Is'ra-el shall be established in thine hand. 

21 Swear now therefore unto me by the 
2 Lord, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after 
me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name 
out of my father's house. 

22 And Da'vid sware unto Saul. And Saul 
went home; but Da'vid and his men gat them 
up unto the hold. 



h. For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; 
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried 
unto thee. (Ps. 31:22.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. See ch. 23, v. 28. 

b. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they 
that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all 
the day long. (Ps. 38:12.) 

c. And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the 
people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I 
have done; and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of 
thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. (II Sam. 24:10.) 

d. If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, 
I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy). (Ps. 7:4.) 
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do 
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use 
you, and persecute you. (Mat. 5:44.) Recompense to no man evil for 
evil. lings honest in the sight of all men. (Rom. 12:17.) 

e. When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall 



hear my words; for they are sweet. (Ps. 141:6.) He that laboreth, 
laboreth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. (Prov. 16:26.) 
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a 
matter separateth very friends. (Prov. 17:9.) 

f. See h, ch. 7, Judges. 

g. Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me 
wrong to war against me; the Lord the Judge be judge this day be- 
tween the children of Israel and the children of Ammon. (Jud. 11:27.) 
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause. (Job 
5:8.) 

h. Great men are not always wise; neither do the aged understand 
judgment. (Job 32:9.) He shall die without instruction; and in the 
greatness of his folly he shall go astray. (Prov. 5:23.) 

i. And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more 
righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Selah my son. And he 
knew her again no more. (Gen. 38:26.)

CHAPTER 25. 
1 Samuel dieth. 2 David sendeth to A T abal. 
10 Provoked by Nabal's churlishness, he 
mindeth to destroy him. 14 Abigail under- 
standing thereof, 18 tak-eth a present, 23 
and by her tuisdom 32 pacifieth David. 36 
Xabal hearing thereof dieth. 39 David tak- 
eth Abigail and Aliinoam to be his wive.s. 

1 'And : Sam'u-el died; and all the Is'ra-el- 
ltes were gathered together, and lamented him, 
and buried him in his house at Ra'mah. And 
David arose, and went down to the wilder- 
ness of Pa'ran. 

2 And there was a man in Ma'on, whose 
possessions were in Car'mel; and the man was 
very great, and he had three thousand sheep, 
and a thousand goats: and he was shearing 
his sheep in Car'mel. 

3 Now the name of the man was Na'bal; 
and the name of his wife Ab'i-gail: and she 
was a woman of good understanding, and of a 
beautiful countenance: but the man was 
2 churlish "and evil in his doings; and he was 
of the house of Ca'leb. 

4 r And Da'vid heard in the wilderness that 
Na'bal did shear his sheep. 

5 And Da'vid sent out ten young men, and 
Da'vid said unto the young men, Get you up to 
Car'mel, and go to Na'bal, and greet him in 
my name: 

6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth 
in prosperity, ''Peace be both to thee, and peace 
be to thine house, and peace be unto all that 
thou hast. 

7 And now I have heard that thou hast 
shearers: now thy shepherds which were with 
us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought 
missing unto them, all the while they were in 
Car'mel. 

8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew 
thee. Wherefore let the young men find fa- 
vour in thine eyes: for we come in c a good 
day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to 
thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son 
Da'vid. 

9 And when Da'vid's young men came, they 
spake to Na'bal according to all those words 
in the name of Da'vid, and ceased. 

10 If And Na'bal answered Da'vid's servants, 
and said, Who is Da'vid? and who is the son 
of Jes'se? there be many servants now a days 
that break away every man from his master. 

11 Shall I then take my bread, and my 
water, and my flesh that I have killed for my 
shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know 
not whence they be? 

12 So Da'vid's young men turned their way, 
and went again, and came and told him all 
those sayings. 

13 And Da'vid said unto his men, Gird ye 
on every man his sword. And they girded on 
every man his sword; and Da'vid also girded 
on his sword: and there went up after Da'vid 
about four hundred men; and two hundred 
abode by the stuff. 

14 *f But one of the young men told Ab'i- 
gail, Na'bal's wife, saying, Behold, Da'vid sent

15 But the men were very good unto us, and 
we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, 
as long as we were conversant with them, 
when we were in the fields : 

16 They were d a wall unto us both by night 
and day, all the while we were with them 
keeping the sheep. 

17 Now therefore know and consider what 
thou wilt do; for evil is determined against 
our master, and against all his household: for 
he is such a son of 4 Be'li-al, that a man cannot 
speak to him. 

18 If Then Ab'i-gail made haste, and took 
two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, 
and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures 
of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of 
raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and 
laid them on asses. 

19 And she said unto her servants, Go on 
before me; behold, I come after you. But she 
told not her husband Na'bal. 

20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, 
that she came down by the covert of the hill, 
and, behold, Da'vid and his men came down 
against her; and she met them. 

21 Now Da'vid had said, Surely in vain 
have I kept all that this fellow hath in the 
wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all 
that pertained unto him: and he hath Re- 
quited me evil for good. 

22 So and more also do God unto the ene- 
mies of Da'vid, if I leave of all that pertain 
to him by the morning light any that 5 pisseth 
against the wall. 

23 And when Ab'i-gail saw Da'vid, she 
hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before 
Da'vid on her face, and bowed herself to the 
ground, 

24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, 
my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let 
thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine 
"audience, and hear the words of thine hand- 
maid. 

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this 
man of 4 Be'li-al, even 'Na'bal: for as his name 
is, so is he; Na'bal is his name, and folly is 
with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the 
young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. 

26 Now therefore, my lord, as the 8 Lord 
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the s Lord 
hath fwithholden thee from coming to shed 
blood, and from avenging thyself with thine 
own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that 
seek evil to my lord, be as Na'bal. 

27 And now this ^blessing which thine hand- 
maid hath brought unto my lord, let it even 
be given unto the young men that follow my 
lord. 

28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine 
handmaid: for the 8 Lord will ^certainly make 
my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth 
the battles of the s Lord, and evil hath not been 
found in thee all thy days. 

29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and 
to seek thy soul : but the soul of my lord shall

b. Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the cap-

for this day is holy unto our Lord; neither be ye sorry; for the joy 
of the Lord' is your strength. (Neh. 8:10.) 

d. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon 
the dry ground, and the waters were a wall unto them on their right 
hand, and on their left. (Ex. 14:22.) Hast not thou made a hedge about 



him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? 
Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased 
in the land. (Job 1:10.) 

e. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my 
love. (Ps. 109:5.) Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart 
from his house. (Prov. 17:13.) 

f. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou 
didst this in the integrity of thy heart; .for I also withheld thee from 
sinning against me; therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. (Gen. 
20:6.) 

g. Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because 
God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And 
he urged him, and he took it. (Gen. 33:11.) 

h. And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my 
people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. 
Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. (II Sam.

ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail 
thee a man upon the throne of Israel, (I Ks. 9;5.)

be bound in the bundle of life with the s Lord 
thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them 
shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a 
sling. 

30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord 
shall have done to my lord according to all the 
good that he hath spoken concerning thee, an J 
shall have appointed thee ruler over Is'ra-el; 

31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor 
offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou 
hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath 
avenged himself: but when the Lord shall 
have dealt well with my lord, then remember 
thine handmaid. 

32 IF And Da'vid said to Ab'i-gail, Blessed 
'be the s Lord God of is'ra-el, which sent thee 
this day to meet me: 

33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed 
be thou, which hast kept me this day from 
coming to shed blood, and from avenging my- 
self with mine own hand. 

34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of 
Is'ra-el liveth, which hath kept me back from 
hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and 
come to meet me, surely there had not been 
left unto Na'bal by the morning light any that 
l "'pisseth against the wall. 

35 So Da'vid received of her hand that 
which she had brought him, and said unto her, 
Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have 
hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy 
person. 

36 11 And Ab'i-gail came to Na'bal ; and, be- 
hold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast 
of a king; and Na'bal's heart was merry with- 
in him, for he was ■'very drunken: wherefore 
she told him nothing, less or more, until the 
morning light. 

37 But it came to pass in the morning, when 
the wine was gone out of Na'bal, and his wife 
had told him these things, that his heart died 
within him, and he became as "a stone. 

38 And it came to pass about ten days after, 
that the s Lord A: smote Na'bal, that he died. 

39 IF And when Da'vid heard that Na'bal 
was dead, he said, Blessed be the s Lord, that 
hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from 
the hand of Na'bal, and hath kept his servant 
from evil : for the s Lord hath returned the 
wickedness of Na'bal upon his own head. And 
Da'vid sent and communed with Ab'i-gail, to 
take her to him to wife. 

40 And when the servants of Da'vid were 
come to Ab'i-gail to Car'mel, they spake unto 
her, saying, Da'vid sent us unto thee, to take 
thee to him to wife. 

41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her 
face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine 
handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of 
the servants of my lord. 

42 And Ab'i-gail hasted, and arose,, and rode 
upon an ass, with five damsels of her's that 
went after her; and she went after the mes- 
sengers of Da'vid, and became his wife. 

43 Da'vid also took A-hin'o-am of Jez're-el; 
and they were also both of them his wives.

which was of Gal'lim. 

CHAPTER 26. 
1 Saul, by the discovery of the Ziphites, com- 
eth to Hachilah against David. 5 David 
stayeth Abishai from killing Saul, but taketh 
his spear and cruse. 13 David reproveth 
Abner, 18 and exhorteth Saul. 21 Saul ac- 
knowledged his sin. 

1 ] And the Zlph'ites came unto Saul to Gib'- 
e-ah, saying, Doth not Da'vid hide himself in 
the hill of Hach'i-lah, which is before Jesh'i- 
mon? 

2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the 
wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand 
chosen men of Is'ra-el with him, to seek Da'vid 
in the wilderness of Ziph. 

3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hach'i-lah, 
which is before Jesh'i-mon, by the way. But 
Da'vid abode in the wilderness, and he saw 
that Saul came after him into the wilderness. 

4 Da'vid therefore sent out spies, and un- 
derstood that Saul was come in 2 very deed. 

5 H And Da'vid arose, and came to the place 
where Saul had pitched: and Da'vid beheld 
the place where Saul lay, and Ab'ner the son 
of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay 
in the trench, and the people pitched round 
about him. 

6 "Then answered Da'vid and said to A-him'- 
e-lech the Hit'tite, and to A-bish'a-I the son 
of Zer-u-i'ah, brother to JS'ab, saying, Who 
will go down with me to Saul to the camp? 
And A-bish'a-I said, I will go down with thee. 

7 So Da'vid and A-bish'a-i came to the peo- 
ple by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping 
within the trench, and his spear stuck in the 
ground at his bolster: but Ab'ner and the peo- 
ple lay round about him. 

8 Then said A-bish'a-I to Da'vid, God hath 
delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: 
now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, 
with the spear even to the earth at once, and 
I will not smite D him the second time. 

9 And Da'vid said to A-bish'a-i, Destroy 
him not: for who can stretch forth his hand 
against the 4 Lord's anointed, and be guiltless? 

10 Da'vid said furthermore, As the "Lord 
liveth, the 'Lord "shall smite him; or his day 
shall & come to die; or he shall descend into 
battle, and perish. 

11 The 'Lord forbid that I should stretch 
forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed: 
but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that 
is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and 
let us go. 

12 So Da'vid took the spear and the cruse 
of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat 
them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, 
neither awaked: for they were all asleep; be- 
cause a c deep sleep from the 4 Lord was fallen 
upon them.

God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though 
he bear long with them? (Luke 18:7.) Dearly beloved, avenge not your- 
selves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is

side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; 
a great space being between them: 

14 And Da'vid cried to the people, and to 
Ab'ner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou 
not, Ab'ner? Then Ab'ner answered and said, 
Who art thou that criest to the king? 

15 And Da'vid said to Ab'ner, Art not thou 
a valiant man? and who is like to thee in is'- 
ra-el? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy 
lord the king? for there came one of the people 
in to destroy the king thy lord. 

16 This thing is not good that thou hast 
done. As the 4 Lord liveth, ye are worthy to 
die, because ye have not kept your master, the 
"Lord's anointed. And now see where the 
king's spear is, and the cruse of water that 
was at his bolster. 

17 And Saul knew Da'vid's voice, and said, 
Is this thy voice, my son Da'vid? And Da'vid 
said, It is my voice, my lord, king. 

18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord 
thus pursue after his servant? for what have 
I done? or what evil is in mine hand? 

19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord 
the king hear the words of his servant. If 
the Lord have ^stirred thee up against me, let 
him accept an offering; but if they be the chil- 
dren of men, cursed be they before the 'Lord; 
for they have driven me out this day from 
abiding in the inheritance of the 4 Lord, saying, 
Go, serve other gods. 

20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to 
the earth before the face of the 4 Lord: for the 
king of is'ra-el is come out to seek a flea, as 
when one doth hunt a partridge in the moun- 
tains. 

21 \ Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, 
my son Da'vid: for I will no more do thee 
harm, because my soul was precious in thine 
eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, 
and have erred exceedingly. 

22 And Da'vid answered and said, Behold 
the king's spear! and let one of the young- 
men come over and fetch it. 

23 The Lord 'render to every man his right- 
eousness and his faithfulness : for the Lord 
delivered thee into my hand to day, but I 
would not stretch forth mine hand against the 
Lord's anointed. 

24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by 
this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much 
set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him 
deliver me out of all tribulation. 

25 Then Saul said to Da'vid, Blessed be 
thou, my son Da'vid: thou shalt both do great 
things, and also shalt still ^prevail. So Da'vid 
went on his way, and Saul returned to his 
place.

2 And Da'vid arose, and he passed over 
6 with the six hundred men that were with him 
e unto A'chish, the son of Ma'och, king of Gath. 

3 And Da'vid dwelt with A'chish at Gath, 
he and his men, every man with his household, 
even Da'vid with his two wives, A-hin'o-am the 
Jez're-el-it-ess, and Ab'i-gail the Car'mel-it-ess, 
Na'bal's wife. 

4 And it was told Saul that Da'vid was fled 
to Gath: and he sought no more again for 
him. 

5 II 2 And Da'vid said unto A'chish, If I have 
now found grace in thine eyes, let them give 
me a place in some town in the country, that 
I may dwell there: for why should thy servant 
dwell in the royal city with thee? 

6 Then A'chish gave him 3 Zik'lag that day: 
wherefore Zik'lag pertaineth unto the kings of 
Ju'dah unto this day. 

7 And the time that Da'vid dwelt in the 
country of the Phi-lis'tine§ was a full year 
and four months. 

8 \ And Da'vid and his men went up, and 
invaded the Gesh'u-rites, and the Gez'rites, and 
the Am'a-lek-ites: for those nations were of 
old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest 
to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. 

9 And Da'vid smote the land, and left nei- 
ther man nor woman alive, and took away the 
sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the 
camels, and the apparel, and returned, and 
came to A'chish. 

10 And A'chish said, Whither have ye made 
a road to day? And Da'vid said, Against the 
south of Ju'dah, and against the south of the 
Je-rah'me-el-ites, and against the south of the 
Ken'ites. 

11 And Da'vid saved neither man nor wom- 
an alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest 
they should tell on us, saying, So did Da'vid, 
and so will be his manner all the while he 
dwelleth in the country of the Phi-lis'tine§. 

12 And A'chish believed Da'vid, saying, He 
hath made his people Is'ra-el utterly to abhor 
him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever. 

CHAPTER 28. 
1 Achish putteth confidence in David. 3 Said, 
having destroyed the witches, 4 and now in 
his fear forsaken of God, 7 seeketh to a 
witch. 9 The witch raiseth up Samuel. 15 
Saul, hearing his man, fainteth. 21 The 
woman refresheth him with meat. 

1 And it came to pass in those days, that 
the °Phi-lis'tine§ gathered their ai-mies to- 
gether for warfare, to fight with Is'ra-el. And 
A'chish said unto Da'vid, Know thou assuredly, 
that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou 
and thy men. 

2 And Da'vid said to A'chish, Surely thou 
shalt know & what thy servant can do. And 
A'chish said to Da'vid, Therefore will I make 
thee keeper of mine 'head for ever. 



d. And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my 
son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life; how much more 
now may this Benjamite do it? Let him alone, and let him curse; 
for the Lord hath bidden him. (II Sam. 16:11.) And again the anger 
of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against 
them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. (II Sam. 24:1.) 

e. The Lord shall judge the people; judge me, O Lord, according 
to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. (Ps. 
7:8.) Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for thou renderest to 
every man according to his work. (Ps. 62:12.) Though a sinner do evil 
an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that 
it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him. But 
it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, 
which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. (Bcc. 8:12, 
13.) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they 

.'shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be 
1 ill with him; for the reward of his hands shall be given him. (Is. 
3: 10, 11.) 

f. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; 
for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast 



prevailed. (Gen. 32:28.) No weapon that is formed against thee shall 
prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou 
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and 
their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Is. 54:17.)

to Achish the king of Gath. (I Sam. 21:10.) And it came to pass at the 
end of three years, that two of the servants of Shirnei ran away unto 
Achish son of Maaehah king of Gath; and they told Shirnei, saying, Be-

3 f Now Sam'u-el r was dead, and all Is'- 
ra-el had lamented him, and buried him in 
Ra'mah, even in his own city. And Saul had 
put away those that had d familiar sph'its, and 
the wizards, out of the land. 

4 And the Phi-lis'tines gathered themselves 
together, and came and pitched in Shu'nem: 
and Saul gathered all Is'ra-el together, and 
they pitched in Gil-bo'a. 

5 2 And when Saul saw the host of the Phi- 
lis'tines, he was c afraid, and his heart greatly 
trembled. 

6 And when Saul enquired ^of the Lord, the 
Lord "answered him not, neither by dreams, 
nor ''by U'rim, nor by prophets. 

7 % Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek 
me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that 
I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his 
servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman 
that hath a familiar spirit at En'-dor. 

8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on 
other raiment, and he went, and two men with 
him, and they came to the woman by night: 
and 'he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by 
the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom 
I shall name unto thee. 

9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, 
thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he 
hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, 
and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore 
then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause 
me to die? 

10 And Saul sware to her by the 'Lord, say- 
ing, As the 3 Lord liveth, there shall no pun- 
ishment happen to thee for this thing. 

11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I 
bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me 
up Sam'u-el. 

12 And when the woman saw Sam'u-el, she 
cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake 
to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? 
for thou art Saul. 

13 And the king said unto her, Be not 
afraid: for what sawest thou? And the wom- 
an said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of 
the earth. 

14 And he said unto her, What form is he 
of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and 
he is covered with a mantle. And Saul per- 
ceived that it was Sam'u-el, and he -'stooped 
with his face to the ground, and bowed him- 
self. 

15 U And Sam'u-el "said to Saul, Why hast 
thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And 
Saul answered, l 'I am sore distressed; for the 
Phi-lis'tines make war against me, and God 
is departed from me, and answereth me no

thou ask of me, seeing the r Lord is departed 
from thee, and is become thine enemy? 

17 And the Lord hath done to him, as he 
spake by me: for the 'Lord hath rent the king- 
dom out of thine hand, and given it to thy 
neighbour, even to Da'vid: 

18 Because 'thou obeyedst not the voice of 
the 'Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon 
Am'a-lek, therefore hath the 3 Lord done this 
thing unto thee this day. 

19 Moreover the 3 Lord will also deliver Is'- 
ra-el with thee into the hand of the Phi-lis'- 
tine§: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons 
be with me: the 'Lord also shall deliver the 
host of Is'ra-el into the hand of the Phi-lis- 
tine§. 

20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on 
the earth, and '"'was sore afraid, because of 
the words of Sam'u-el: and there was no 
strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all 
the day, nor all the night. 

21 II And the woman came unto Saul, and 
saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto 
him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy 
voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and 
have hearkened unto thy words which thou 
spakest unto me. 

22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou 
also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let 
me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, 
that thou mayest have strength, when thou 
goest on thy way. 

23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. 
But his servants, together with the woman, 
compelled him; and he hearkened unto their 
voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat 
upon the bed. 

24 And the woman had a fat calf in the 
house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took 
flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened 
bread thereof: 

25 And she brought it before Saul, and be- 
fore his servants; and they did eat. Then they 
rose up, and went away that night.

and his men passed on in the rereward with 
A'chish. 

3 Then said the princes of the Phi-lis'tines, 
What do these He'brews here? And A'chish 
said unto the princes of the Phi-lis'tines, Is 
not this Da'vid, the servant of Saul the king 
of is'ra-el, which hath been with me these 



c. See ch. 25:1. 

d. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. (Ex. 22:18.) Regard not 
them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be de- 
filed by them; I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:31.) There shall not 
be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to 
pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, 
or an enchanter, or a witch. (Dt. 18:10.) 

e. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive 
him to his feet. (Job 18:11.) But the wicked are like the troubled sea, 
when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. (Is. 57:20.) 

f. See a, ch. 23, I Sam. 

g. And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philis- 
tines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered 
him not that day. (I Sam. 14:37.) Then shall they call upon me, but 
I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. 
(Prov. 1:28.) And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine 
eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; 
your hands are full of blood. (Js. 1:15.) For thus saith the Lord to the 
men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow 
not among thorns. (Jer. 4:3.) 

h. And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and 
the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart when he goeth 
in before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children 
of Israel upon his heart before the Lore 1 continually. (Ex. 28:30.) And 
of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, 
whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at 
the waters of Meribah. (Dt. 33:8.) And they took Absalom, and cast 



him into a great pit in the woods, and laid a very great heap of stones 
upon him; and all Israel fled every one to his tent. (II Sam. 1S:17.) 

i. So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the 
Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also 
for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it. (I 
Chr. 10:13.) And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that 
have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep and that mutter; should 
not a people seek unto 'their God? for the living to the dead? (Is. S:19.) 

j. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that per- 
ish: because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be 
saved, and for "this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that 
they should believe a lie. (II Thes. 2:10, 11.) See ch. 24:8. 

k. And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are 
consumed. (Prov. 5:11.) The backslider in heart shall be filled with 
his own ways; and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. (Prov. 
14:14.) 

1. But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, 
and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was 
good, and would not utterly destroy them; but every thing that was 
vile and refuse, that thev destroyed utterly. (I Sam. 15:9.) Neverthe- 
less Saul spake not any thing that day; for he thought, Someth ; ng hath 
befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean. (I Sam. 20:26.) 

m. That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the 
hypocrite but for a moment? (Job 20:5.) These things hast thou done, 
and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one 
as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine 
eyes. (Ps. 50:21.)

days, or these years, and I have found no 
fault in him since he fell unto me unto this 
day? 

4 And the princes of the Phi-lis'tine§ were 
wroth with him; and the princes of the Phi- 
lis'tine§ said unto him, Make this fellow re- 
turn, that he may go again to his place whicn 
thou hast appointed him, and let him not go 
down with us to battle, lest in the battle he 
a be an adversary to us: for wherewith should 
he reconcile himself unto his master? should 
it not be with the heads of these men? 

5 Is not this Da'vid, of whom they sang one 
to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his 
thousands, and Da'vid his ten thousands? 

6 IF Then A'chish called Da'vid, and said 
unto him, Surely, as the 2 Lord liveth, thou 
hast been upright, and thy going out and thy 
coming in with me in the host is good in my 
sight: for I have not found evil in thee since 
the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: 
nevertheless the lords favour thee not. 

7 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, 
that thou displease not the lords of the Phi- 
Hs'tine§. 

8 IT And Da'vid said unto A'chish, But what 
have I done? and what hast thou found in thy 
servant so long as I have been with thee unto 
this day, that I may not go fight against the 
enemies of my lord the king? 

9 And A'chish answered and said to Da'vid, 
I know that thou art good in my sight, 6 as an 
angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of 
the Phi-lis'tines. have said, He shall not go 
up with us to the battle. 

10 Wherefore now rise up early in the morn- 
ing with thy master's servants that are come 
with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in 
the morning, and have light, depart. 

11 So Da'vid and his men rose up early to 
depart in the morning, to return into the land 
of the Phi-lis'tmes?. And the Phi-lis'tlnes. 
went up to Jez're-el. 

CHAPTER 30. 

1 The Amalekites spoil Ziklag. 4 David is 
encouraged by God to pursue them. 11 He 
recovereth all the spoil. 22 David's law to 
divide the spoil equally between them that 
fight and them that keep the stuff. 26 He 
sendeth presents to his friends. 

1 \A.nd it came to pass, when Da'vid and his 
men were come to Zik'lag on the third day, 
that the Am'a-lek-ites had invaded the south, 
and Zik'lag, and smitten Zik'lag, and burned it 
with fire; 

2 And had taken the women captives, that 
were therein: they slew not any, either great 
or small, but carried them away, and went on 
their way. 

3 f So Da'vid and his men came to the city, 
and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their 
wives, and their sons, and their daughters, 
were taken captives. 

4 Then Da'vid and the people that were with 
him lifted up their voice and wept, until they 
had no more power to ween. 

5 And Da'vid's two wives were taken cap-

tives, A-hin'o-am the Jez're-el-it-ess, and Ab'- 
i-gail the wife of Na'bal the Car'mel-ite. 

6 And Da'vid was greatly distressed; for the 
people spake a of stoning him, because the soul 
of all the people was grieved, every man for 
his sons and for his daughters: but Da'vid 
encouraged himself in the 2 Lord his God. 

7 And Da'vid said to A-bi'a-thar the priest, 
A-him'e-lech's son, I pray thee, bring me 
hither the 3 ephod. And A-bi'a-thar brought 
thither the ephod to Da'vid. 

8 And Da'vid ''enquired at the 2 Lord, saying, 
Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I over- 
take them? And he 'answered him, Pursue: 
for thou shalt surely ovei-take them, and with- 
out fail recover all. 

9 So Da'vid went, he and the six hundred 
men that were with him, and came to the brook 
Be'sor, where those that were left behind 
stayed. 

10 But Da'vid pursued, he and four hun- 
dred men: for two hundred abode behind, 
which were so faint that they could not go 
over the brook Be'sor. 

11 If And they found an E-gyp'tian in the 
field, and brought him to Da'vid, and gave him 
bread, and he did eat; and they made him 
drink water; 

12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of 
figs, and two clusters of raisins : and when 
he had eaten, his spirit came again to him : 
for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any 
water, three days and three nights. 

13 And Da'vid said unto him, To whom be- 
longest thou? and whence art thou? And he 
said, I am a young man of E'gypt, servant to 
an Am'a-lek-ite; and my master left me, be- 
cause three days agone I fell "sick. 

14 We made an invasion upon the south of 
the Cher'eth-ites, and upon the coast which 
belongeth to Ju'dah, and upon the south of 
Ca'leb; and we burned Zik'lag with fire. 

15 And Da'vid said to him, Canst thou bring 
me down to this company? And he said, Swear 
unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill 
me, nor deliver me into the hands of my mas- 
ter, and I will bring thee down to this com- 
pany. 

16 1f And when he had brought him down, 
behold, they were spread abroad upon all the 
earth, "eating and drinking, and dancing, be- 
cause of all the great spoil that they had taken 
out of the land of the Phi-lis'tine§, and out of 
the land of Ju'dah. 

17 And Da'vid smote them from the twi- 
light even unto the evening of the next day: 
and there escaped not a man of them, save 
four hundred young men, which rode upon 
camels, and fled. 

18 And Da'vid recovered all that the Am'a- 
lek-ites had carried away: and David rescue J 
his two wives. 

19 And there was nothing lacking to them, 
neither small nor great, neither sons nor 
daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that 
they had taken to them: Da'vid recovered all. 

20 And Da'vid took all the flocks and the 
herds, which they drave before those other 
cattle, and said, This is Da'vid's spoil. 



Chapter 29. 

a. Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that 
time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round 
about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with 
Saul and Jonathan. (I Sam. 14:21.) 

b. And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but 
my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in 
thine eyes. (II Sam. 19:27.) Then thine handmaid said, The word of 
my lord the king shall now be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so 
is my lord the king, to discern good and bad; therefore the Lord thy 
God will be with thee. (II Sam. 14:17.) 

Chapter 30. 

a. And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto 
this people? they be almost ready to stone me. (Ex. 17:4.) Then took 
they up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the 
temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. (Jno 8-59 ) 

t>. See a, ch. 23, I Sam. 



c. Our fathers trusted in thee; they trusted, anj thou didst deliver 
them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they trusted in thee, 
and were not confounded. (Ps. 22:4, 5.) Blessed be the Lord, because 
he hath heard the voice of my supplications. (Ps. 28:6.) And call upon 
me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 
(Ps. 50:15.) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be 
with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. (Ps. 91:15.) 

d. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up 
for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said 
unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then 
whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? (Luke 12:19, 20.) 
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged 
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that 
day come upon you unawares. (Luke 21:34.) For when they shall say, 
Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail 
upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (I Thes. 5:3.)

21 K And David came to the two hundred 
men, which were so faint that they could not 
follow Da'vid, whom they had made also to 
abide at the brook Be'sor: and they went forth 
to meet Da'vid, and to meet the people that 
were with him: and when Da'vid came near 
to the people, he saluted them. 

22 Then answered all the wicked men and 
men of Be'li-al, of those that went with Da'- 
vid, and said, Because they went not with us, 
we will not give them ought of the spoil that 
we have recovered, save to every man his wife 
and his children, that they may lead them 
away, and depart. 

23 Then said Da'vid, Ye shall not do so, 
my brethren, with that which the "Lord hath 
given us, who hath preserved us, and deliv- 
ered the company that came against us into 
our hand. 

24 For who will hearken unto you in this 
matter? but c as his part is that goeth down to 
the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by 
the stuff: they shall part alike. 

25 And it was so from that day forward, 
that he made it a statute and an ordinance for 
Is'ra-el unto this day. 

26 II And when Da'vid came to Zik'lag, he 
sent of the spoil unto the elders of Ju'dah, 
even to his friends, saying, Behold a present 
for you of the spoil of the enemies of the 
2 Lord ; 

27 To them which were in Beth'-el, and to 
them which were in south Ra'moth, and to 
them which were in Jat'tir, 

28 And to them which were in Ar'o-er, and 
to them which were in Siph'moth, and to them 
which were in Esh-te-mo'a, 

29 And to them which were in Ra'chal, and 
to them which were in the cities of the Je- 
rah'me-el-Ites, and to them which were in the 
cities of the Ken'Ttes, 

30 And to them which were in Hor'mah, and 
to them which were in Chor-a'shan, and to 
them which were in A'thach, 

31 And to them which were in He'bron, and 
to all the places where Da'vid himself and his 
men were wont to haunt.

recovering the bodies by night, burn them 
at Jabesh, and mournfully bury their bones. 

1 'Now the Phi-lis'tines. fought against Is'- 
ra-el: and the men of Is'ra-el fled from before 
the Phi-lis'tines, and fell down slain in mount 
Gil'bo'a. 

2 And the Phi-lis'tines followed hard upon 
Saul and upon his sons; and the Phi-lis'tines 
slew Jon'a-than, and A-bin'a-dab, and MeT- 
chi-shu'a, Saul's sons. 

3 And the battle °went 2 sore against Saul, 
and the archers hit him; and he was sore 
wounded of the archers. 

4 Then said ''Saul unto his armourbearer, 
Draw thy sword, and thrust me through there- 
with; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust 
me through, and 3 abuse me. But his armour- 
bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. 
Therefore Saul took a sword, and c fell upon it. 

5 And when his armourbearer saw that- 
4 Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, 
and died with him. 

6 So 4 Saul died, and his three sons, and his 
armourbearer, and all his men, that same day 
together. 

7 If And when the men of Is'ra-el that were 
on the other side of the valley, and they that 
were on the other side Jor'dan, saw that the 
men of is'ra-el fled, and that 4 Saul and his 
sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and 
fled; and the Phl-lis'tlne§ came and dwelt in 
them. 

8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when 
the Phi-lis'tines? came to strip the slain, that 
they found Saul and his three sons fallen in 
mount Gil-bo'a. 

9 And they cut D off his head, and stripped 
off his armour, and sent into the land of the 
Phi-lis'tine§ round about, to publish it in the 
house of their idols, and among the people. 

10 And they put his armour in the house of 
Ash'ta-roth: and they fastened his body to the 
wall of Beth'-shan. 

11 11 And when the inhabitants of Ja'besh- 
gil'e-ad heard of that which the Phi-lis'tines. 
had done to Saul; 

12 All the valiant men arose, and went all 
night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies 
of his sons from the wall of Beth'-shan, and 
came to Ja'besh, and burnt them there. 

13 And they took their bones, and buried 
them under a tree at Ja'besh, and fasted seven 
days. 



e. And divide the prey into two parts, between them that took the 
war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congrega- 
tion. (Num. 31:27.) And he spake unto them, saying, Return with 
much riches unto your tent, and with very much cattle, with silver and 
with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment; 
divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren. (Josh. 22:8.) 

Chapter 31. 

a. And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance 



upon Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the 
chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. (II Sam. 1:6.) 

b. Then he called hastily unto the young man his armor-bearer, 
and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of 
me, A woman slew me. And his young man thrust him through, and 
he died. (Jud. 9:54.) So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was 
sure that he could not live after that he was fallen; and I took the 
crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, 
and have brought them hither unto my lord. (II Sam. 1:10.) 



THE SECOND BOOK OF 

SAMUEL 



NOTE. — The Second Book or Samuel begins with the death of Saul, and the first 24 chs. are devoted largely to the incidents connected with the relgri 
of David. It is a direct continuation of I Sam., and there seems to be no good good reason for its separation. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The Amalekite, ivho brought tidings of the 
overthrow, and accused himself of Saul's 
death, is slain. 17 David lamenteth Saul 
and Jonathan with a song. 

1 'Now it came to pass after the death of 
Saul, when Da'vid was returned from the 
slaughter of the Am'a-lek-ites, and Da'vid had 
abode two days in Zik'lag; 

2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, 
behold, a a man came out of the camp from 
Saul with his clothes rent, 2 and earth upon his 
head: and so it was, when he came to Da'vid, 
that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. 

3 And Da'vid said unto him, From whence 
comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of 
the camp of is'ra-el am I escaped. 

4 And Da'vid said unto him, How went the 
matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he an- 
swered, That the people are fled from the bat- 
tle, and many of the people also are fallen and 
dead; and Saul and Jon'a-than his son are 
dead also. 

5 And Da'vid said unto the young man that 
told him, How knowest thou that Saul and 
Jon'a-than his son be dead? 

6 And the young man that told him said, As 
I happened by chance upon mount Gil-bo'a, be- 
hold, ' J Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the 
chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 

7 And when he looked behind him, he saw 
me, and called unto me. And I answered, 
Here am I. 

8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And 
I answered him, I am an Am'a-lek-Ite. 

9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, 
upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come 
upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. 

10 So I stood upon him, and °slew him, be- 
cause I was sure that he could not live after 
that he was fallen: and I took ''the crown that 
was upon his head, and the bracelet that was 
on his arm, and have brought them hither unto 
my lord. 

11 Then Da'vid took hold on his clothes, 
and ^rent them; and likewise all the men that 
were with him: 

12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted 
until even, for Saul, and for Jon'a-than his 
son, and for the people of the "Lord, and for 
the house of Is'ra-el; because they were fallen 
by the sword.

6. This lamentation, which evi- 
dently sprang from the depths of a 
tender, sorrowful heart, is one of 
the most beautiful odes of the Old 
Testament. Though for many years 
Saul, with a deadly hatred, had been 
chasing David from mountain to 
mountain, vainly endeavoring to take 
his life, when the unfortunate mon- 
arch meets his fate, David bears him 
no resentment.

ing the upright. It must have been 
written near the time of David's

ch. Its author or compiler is un- 
known. The book has also been lost; 
but it is not thought to have been of 
divine inspiration or else it would 
have been preserved for the benefit 
of mankind. 



13 If And Da'vid said unto the young man 
that told him, Whence art thou? And he an- 
swered, I am the son of a stranger, an Am'a- 
lek-Ite. 

14 And Da'vid said unto him, How wast 
thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to 
destroy the 'Lord's anointed? 

15 And Da'vid called one of the young men, 
and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And 
he smote him that he died. 

16 And Da'vid said unto him, c Thy blood be 
upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified 
against thee, saying, I have slain the 4 Lord's 
anointed. 

17 1f 5 And Da'vid lamented with this 6 lamen- 
tation over Saul and over Jon'a-than his son: 

18 (Also hie bade them teach the children of 
Ju'dah the use of the bow: behold, it is writ- 
ten in the book of 7 Ja'sher.) 

19 The beauty of Is'ra-el is slain upon thy 
high places: how are the mighty fallen! 

20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the 
streets of As'ke-lon; lest the daughters of the 
Phi-lis'tine§ rejoice, lest the daughters of the 
uncircumcised triumph. 

21 Ye mountains of Gil-bo'a, Het there be 
no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, 
nor fields of offerings : for there the shield of 
the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of 
Saul, as though he had not been anointed with 
oil. 

22 From the blood s'of the slain, from the 
fat of the mighty, the bow of Jon'a-than 
''turned not back, and the sword of Saul re- 
turned not empty. 

23 Saul and Jon'a-than were lovely and 
pleasant in their lives, and in their death they 
were not divided: they were swifter than 
eagles, they were stronger than lions. 

24 Ye daughters of is'ra-el, weep over Saul, 
who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, 
who put on ornaments of gold upon your ap- 
parel. 

25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst 
of the battle! Jon'a-than, thou wast slain 
in thine high places. 

26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jon'- 
a-than : very pleasant hast thou been unto me : 
'thy love to me was wonderful, passing the 
love of women. 

27 How are the mighty fallen, and the 
weapons of war perished! 



Ref. II Samuel. Chapter 1. 

a. When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to 
have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, 
who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings. (II 
Sam. 4:10.) And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and 
came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon 
his head. (I Sam. 4:12.) 

b. And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his son; 
and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's 
sons (2). And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit 
him; and he was sore wounded of the archers (3). Then said Saul unto 
his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith: 
lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. 
But his armorbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul 
took a sword, and fell upon it. (I Sam. 31:2-4.) 

c. Then he called hastily unto the young man his armorbearer, 
and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not 
of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through; 
and he died. (Jud. 9:54.) 

d. And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not 
in the pit; and he rent his clothes (29). And he returned unto his 
brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? (30). 
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped 
the coat in the blood (31). And they sent the coat of many colors, and 
they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found; know- 
not whether it be thy son's coat or no (32). And he knew it, and said, 
It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is with- 
out doubt rent in pieces (33). And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sack- 
cloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. (Gen. 37: 
29-34.) 

e. And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can stretch 
forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless? (I Sam. 



269 



26:9.) And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom 
are guiltless before the Lord for ever from the blood of Abner the son 
of Ner (28). Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on ail his father's 
house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath 'an 
issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on 
the sword, or that lacketh bread. (II Sam. 3:28, 29.) 

f. Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly 
the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, 
to the help of the Lord against the mighty. (Jud. 5:23.) But the chil- 
dren of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto 
Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. (Jud. 20:14.) 

g. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall 
devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, 
from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. (Deut. 32:42.) The 
sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and 
with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; 
for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the 
land of Idumea. (Is. 34:6.) 

h. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, 
and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his 
bow, and to his girdle. (I Sam. 18:4.) 

i. And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto 
Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and 
Jonathan loved him as his own soul (1). And Saul took him that day, 
and would let him go no more home to his father's house (2). Then 
Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his 
own soul (3). And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon 
him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to 
his bow and to his girdle. (I Sam. 18:1-4.) And when it was told Saul, 
he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent 
messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. (I Sam, 
19:21.)

CHAPTER 2. 

1 David goeth up to Hebron, where he is made 
king of Judah. 8 Abner maketh Ish-bosheth 
king of Israel. 12 A mortal skirmish be- 
tween twelve of Abner's and twelve of Joab's 
men. 18 Asahel is' slain. 25 At Abner's 
motion Joab soundeth a retreat. 

1 a And it came to pass 2 after this, that Da'- 
vid "enquired of the 'Lord, saying, Shall I go 
up into any of the cities of Ju'dah? And the 
3 Lord said unto him, Go up. And Da'vid said, 
Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto 
6 He'bron. 

2 So Da'vid went up thither, and his two 
wives also, A-hm'o-am the Jez're-el-it-ess, and 
Ab'I-gail Na'bal's wife the Car'mel-ite. 

3 And his men that were with him did Da'- 
vid bring up, every man with his household: 
and they dwelt in the cities of He'bron. 

4 And the men of Ju'dah came, and there 
they anointed Da'vid king over the house of 
Ju'dah. And they told Da'vid, saying, That 
the men of c Ja'besh-giTe-ad were they that 
buried Saul. 

5 f And Da'vid sent messengers unto the 
men of Ja'besh-giTe-ad, and said unto them, 
Blessed ^be ye of the 3 Lord, that ye have 
shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto 
Saul, and have buried him. 

6 And now the 3 Lord e shew kindness and 
truth unto you : and I also fwill requite you 
this kindness, because ye have done this thing. 

7 Therefore now let your hands be strength- 
ened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul 
is dead, and also the house of Ju'dah have 
anointed me king over them. 

8 1 But Ab'ner the son of Ner, captain of 
Saul's host, took Ish-b5'sheth the son of Saul, 
and brought him over to Ma-ha-na'im; 

9 And made him king over Gll'e-ad, and over 
the Ash'ur-ites, and over Jez're-el, and over 
E'phra-im, and over Ben'ja-min, and over all 
Is'ra-el. 

10 ish-bo'sheth Saul's son was forty years 
old. when he began to reign over Is'ra-el, and 
reigned two years. But the house of Ju'dah 
followed Da'vid. 

11 And the time that Da'vid was king in 
He'bron over the house of Ju'dah was seven 
years and six months. 

12 If 4 And Ab'ner the son of Ner, and the 
servants of Ish-b5'sheth the son of Saul, went 
out from Ma-ha-na'im to Gib'e-on. 

13 And s Jo'ab the son of Zer-u-i'ah, and the 
servants of Da'vid, went out, and met together 
by the pool of Gib'e-on: and they sat down, 
the one on the one side of the pool, and the 
other on the other side of the pool. 

14 And Ab'ner said to 5 J5'ab, Let the young 
men now arise, and play before us. And J5'ab 
said, Let them arise.

chief and captaiu. So Joab the son

19-22, Asahel slain. 



15 Then there arose and went over by num- 
ber twelve of Ben'ja-min, which pertained to 
ish-bo'sheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the 
servants of Da'vid. 

16 And they caught every one his fellow by 
the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's 
side; so they fell down together: wherefore 
that place was called Hel'kath-haz'zu-rim, 
which is in Gib'e-on. 

17 And there was a very sore battle that 
day; apd Ab'ner was beaten, and the men of 
Is'ra-el, before the servants of Da'vid. 

18 1f And there were three sons of Zer-u-i'ah 
there, Jo'ab, and A-bish'a-i, and A'sa-hel: and 
A'sa-hel was as light of foot ^as a wild roe. 

19 "And A'sa-hel pursued after Ab'ner; and 
in going he turned not to the right hand nor 
to the left from following Ab'ner. 

20 Then Ab'ner looked behind him, and said, 
Art thou A'sa-hel? And he answered, I am. 

21 And Ab'ner said to him, Turn thee aside 
to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee 
hold on one of the young men, and take thee 
his armour. But A'sa-hel would not turn aside 
from following of him. 

22 And Ab'ner said again to A'sa-hel, Turn 
thee aside from following me: wherefore 
should I smite thee to the ground? how then 
should I hold up my face to r 'J6'ab thy brother? 

23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside : where- 
fore Ab'ner with the hinder end of the spear 
smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear 
came out behind him; and he fell down there, 
and died in the same place: and it came to 
pass, that as many as came to the place where 
A'sa-hel fell down and died stood still. 

24 5 Jo'ab also and A-bish'a-i pursued after 
Ab'ner: and the sun went down when they 
were come to the hill of Am'mah, that lieth 
before Gl'ah by the way of the wilderness of 
Gib'e-on. 

25 If And the children of Ben'ja-min gath- 
ered themselves together after Ab'ner, and be- 
came one troop, and stood on the top of an 
hill. 

26 Then Ab'ner called to Jo'ab, and said, 
Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou 
not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? 
how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the 
people return from following their brethren? 

27 And J5'ab said, As God liveth, unless 
thou 7 'hadst spoken, surely then in the morning 
the people had gone up every one from fol- 
lowing his brother. 

28 So JS'ab blew a trumpet, and all the peo- 
ple stood still, and pursued after Is'ra-el no 
more, neither fought they any more. 

29 And Ab'ner and his men walked all that 
night through the plain, and passed over Jor'- 



* Chapter 2. 
a.- And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask 
counsel for him after the judgment of TJrim before the Lord; at his 
word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and 
all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. (Num. 
27:21.) Therefore David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and 
smite these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go, and smite 
the Philistines, and save Keilah (2). Then David enquired of the Lord 
yet again. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, go down to 
Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand (4). And David 
knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief against him; and he said 
to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod (9). Then said David, O 
Lord God of Israel, thy servant has certainly heard that Saul seeketh to 
come to Keilah, to destroy the eity for my sake (10). Will the men 
of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as thy 
servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy 
nt. And Ihe Lord said, He will come down (11). Then said David, 
Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? 
And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up. (I Sam. 23:2, 4, 9-12.) 

b. And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where 
David himself and his men were wont to haunt. (I Sam. 30:31.) And 
the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years 
i' n<ii he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusa- 
lem. (I Ks. 2:11.) And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the 

■ if l< phunneh Hebron for an inheritance. (Josh. 14:13.) 

c. And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which 
the Philistines had done to Saul (11), All the valiant men arose, and 

i all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons 
from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there 



(12). And they took their bones, and buried them uuder a tree at Jabesh, 
and fasted seven days. (I Sam. 41:11-13.) 

d. And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ye have com- 
passion on me. (I Sam. 23:21.) Ye are blessed of the Lord which made 
heaven and earth. (Ps. 115:15.) 

e. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord. 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) Aud rend your heart, and not your 
garments, and turn unto the Lord your God; for he is gracious and 
merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of 
the evil. (Joel 2:13.) For thy mercy is great above the heavens; and 
thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. (Ps. 108:4.) Or despisest thou the 
riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering: not knowing 
that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? (Rom. 2:4.) 

f. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse 
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite- 
fully use you, and persecute you. (Mat. 5:44.) 

g. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high 
places. (Ps. 18:33.) Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, 
turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the 
mountains of Bether. (Sol. 2:17.) Make haste, my beloved, and be 
thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountain of spices. 
(Song 8:14.) 

h. And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto Dav'.d 
into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for 
the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like 
the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains.

dan, and went through all Bith'ron, and they 
came to 'Ma-ha-na'im. 

30 And Jo'ab returned from following Ab'- 
ner: and when he had gathered all the people 
together, there lacked 7 of David's servants 
nineteen men and A'sa-hel. 

31 But the servants of Da'vid had smitten 
of Ben'ja-min, and of Ab'ner's men, so that 
three hundred and threescore men died. 

32 1T And they took up A'sa-hel, and buried 
him in the sepulchre of his father, which was 
in Beth'-le-hem. And Jo'ab and his men went 
all night, and they came to He'bron at break 
of day. 

CHAPTER 3. 

Abner revolteth to David. 

1 'Now there was long 2 war "between the 
house of Saul and the house of Da'vid: but 
Da'vid waxed stronger and stronger, and the 
house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker. 

2 1f And unto Da'vid 6 were 3 sons born in He'- 
bron: and his firstborn was Am'non, of A-hin'- 
o-am the Jez're-el-It-ess; 

3 And his second, Chil'e-ab, of Ab'i-gail the 
wife of Na/bal the Car^mel-ite; and the third, 
Ab'sa-lom the son of Ma'a-cah the daughter of 
Tal'mai king of Ge'shur; 

4 And the fourth, Ad-o-ni'jah the son of 
Hag'gith; and the fifth, Sheph-a-ti'ah the son 
of Ab'i-tal; 

5 And the sixth, Ith're-am, by Eg'lah Da'- 
vid's wife. These were born to Da'vid in He'- 
bron. 

6 II And it came to pass, while there was 
war between the house of Saul and the house 
of Da'vid, that Ab'ner made himself strong for 
the house of Saul. 

7 4 And Saul had a concubine, whose name 
was r Riz'pah, the daughter of A-I'ah : and Ish- 
bo'sheth said to Ab'ner, Wherefore hast thou 
gone in unto my father's concubine? 

8 Then was Ab'ner very wroth for the words 
of Ish-bo'sheth, and said, Am I d a dog's head, 
which against Ju'dah do shew kindness this 
day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his 
brethren, and to his friends, and have not de- 
livered thee into the hand of Da'vid, that thou 
chargest me to day with a fault concerning 
this woman? 

9 So c do God to Ab'ner, and more also, ex- 
cept fas the 5 Lord hath sworn to Da'vid, even 
so I do to him; 

10 To translate the kingdom from the house 
of Saul, and to set up the throne of Da'vid 
over is'ra-el and over Ju'dah, 0from Dan even 
to Be'er-she'ba.

11 And he could not answer Ab'ner a word 
again, because he feared him. 

12 U And Ab'ner sent messengers to Da'vid 
on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? say- 
ing also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, 
my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all 
Is'ra-el unto thee. 

13 If And he said, Well ; I will make a league 
with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that 
is, Thou shait not see my face, except thou 
first bring Mi'chal Saul's daughter, when thou 
comest to see my face. 

14 And Da'vid sent messengers to Ish-bo'- 
sheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife 
Mi'chal, which I espoused to me for an hundred 
foreskins of the Phi-lis'tine§. 

15 And Ish-bo'sheth sent, and took her from 
her husband, even from Phal'ti-el the son of 
La'ish. 

16 And her husband went with her along 
weeping behind her to Ba-hu'rim. Then said 
Ab'ner unto him, Go, return. And he returned. 

17 IT And Ab'ner had communication with the 
elders of Is'ra-el, saying, Ye sought for Da'vid 
in times past to be king over you: 

18 Now then do it: for the 5 Lord hath 
spoken of Da'vid, saying, By the hand of my 
servant Da'vid I will save my people Is'ra-el 
out of the hand of the Phi-lis'tme§, and out of 
the hand of all their enemies. 

19 And Ab'ner also spake in the ears of 
Ben'ja-min: and Ab'ner went also to speak in 
the ears of Da'vid in He'bron all that seemed 
good to Is'ra-el, and that seemed good to the 
whole house of Ben'ja-min. 

20 So Ab'ner came to Da'vid to He'bron, 
and twenty men with him. And Da'vid made 
Ab'ner and the men that were with him a feast. 

21 And Ab'ner said unto Da'vid, I will arise 
and go, and will gather all Is'ra-el unto my 
lord the king, that they may make a league 
with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all 
that ''thine heart desireth. And Da'vid sent 
Ab'ner away; and he went in peace. 

22 1T "And, behold, the servants of Da'vid and 
Jo'ab came from pursuing a troop, and brought 
in a great spoil with them: but Ab'ner was not 
with Da'vid in He'bron; for he had sent him 
away, and he was gone in peace. 

23 When Jo'ab and all the host that was 
with him were come, they told Jo'ab, saying, 
Ab'ner the son of Ner came to the king, and 
he hath sent him away, and he is gone in 
peace. 

24 Then Jo'ab came to the king, and said, 
What hast thou done? behold, Ab'ner came 
unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him 
away, and he is quite gone? 



i. And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host; and he 
called the name of that place Mahanaim. (Gen. 32:2.) And out of the 
tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge 
for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs. (Josh. 21:38.) And it 
came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the 
well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and 
pass quickly over the water; for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against 
you (21). Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and 
they passed over Jordan; by the morning light there lacked not one 
of them that was not gone over Jordan (22). And when Ahithophel saw 
that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and 
gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, 
and hanged himself and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his 
father (23). Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over 
Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. (II Sam. 17:21-24.) See 
v. 14. 

Chapter 3. 

a. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh 
the how, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in 
the fire. (Ps. 46:9.) And he shall judge among the nations, and shall 
rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, 
and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword 
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (Is. 2:4.) 

b. Now these were the sons of David which were born unto him in 
Hebron; the first-born Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second 
Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess (1). The third, Absalom the son of 
Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah 
the son of Haggith (2). The fifth, Shephatiah of Abital; the sixth, Ith- 
ream by Eglah his wife. (I Chr. 3:1-3.) 

c. But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, 
whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons 



of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adrie! the 
son of Barzillai the Meholathite (8). And he delivered them into the 
hands of the Gibeonites and they hanged them in the hill before the 
Lord ; and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the 
days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest (9). 
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for 
her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped 
upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to 
rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night (10). And it 
was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of 
Saul, had done. (II Sam. 21:8-11.) 

d. Thou shalt not bring the hire of the whore, or the price of the 
dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow; for even both 
these are abomination unto the Lord thy God. (Dt. 23:18.) Then said 
Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog 
curse my lord the king? Let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his 
head. (II Sam. 16:9.) 

e. Where thou diest will I die, and there will I he buried; the Lord 
do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. (Ruth 
1:17.) Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the 
gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one 
of them by tomorrow about this time. (I Ks. 19:2.) 

f. And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of 
Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that 
is better than thou. (I Sam. 15:28.) See I Sam. 25:28-31. 

g. Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation 
was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with 
the land of Gilead, unto the Lord in Mizpeh. (Jud. 20:1.) And Judah 
and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig 
tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon. (I Ks. 4:25.) 

h. And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that 
thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. (I Ks. 11:37.)

25 Thou knowest Ab'ner the son of Ner, that 
he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going 
out and thy coming in, and to know all that 
thou doest. 

26 And when Jo'ab was come out from Da'- 
vid, he sent messengers after Ab'ner, which 
brought him again from the well of Si'rah : but 
David knew it not. 

27 And when Ab'ner was returned to He'- 
bron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak 
with him quietly, and smote him there under 
the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of 
A'sa-hel his brother. 

28 K And afterward when Da'vid heard it, he 
said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the 
5 Lord for ever from the blood of Ab'ner the 
son of Xer: 

29 Let it 'rest on the head of Jo'ab, and on 
all his father's house; and let there not fail 
from the house of Jo'ab one that hath an issue, 
or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, 
or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh 
bread. 

•30 So Jo'ab and A-bish'a-i his brother slew 
Ab'ner, because he had slain their brother 
A'sa-hel at Gib'e-on in the battle.

people that were with him, Send your clothes, 
and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before 
Ab'ner. And king Da'vid himself followed the 
bier. 

32 And they buried Ab'ner in He'bron: and 
the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the 
grave of Ab'ner; and all the people wept. 

33 And the king lamented over Ab'ner, and 
said, Died Ab'ner as a 7 fool dieth? 

34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet 
put in fetters: as a man falleth before wicked 
men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept 
again over him. 

35 And when all the people came to cause 
Da'vid to eat meat while it was yet day, Da'vid 
sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, 
if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be 
down. 

36 And all the people took notice of it, 
and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king 
did pleased all the people. 

37 For all the people and all Is'ra-el under- 
stood that day that it was not of the king to 
slay Ab'ner the son of Ner. 

38 And the king said unto his servants, 
Know ye not that there is a prince and a great 
man fallen this day in Is'ra-el? 

39 And I am this day weak, though anointed 
king; and these men the sons of Zer-u-i'ah be 
too hard s for me: 'the 5 Lord shall reward the 
doer of evil according to his wickedness. 

CHAPTER 4.

children of Ben'ja-min: (for Be-e'roth also was 
reckoned to Ben'ja-min. 

3 And the Be-e'roth-ites fled to Git'ta-im, 
and were sojourners there until this day.) 

4 And Jon'a-than, Saul's son, had a son a that 
was lame of his feet. He was five years old 
when the tidings came of Saul and Jon'a-than 
out of Jez're-el, and his nurse took him up, 
and fled: and it came to pass, as she made 
haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. 
And his name was s Me-phib'o-sheth. 

5 And the sons of Rim'mon the Be-e'roth- 
lte, Re'chab and Ba'a-nah, went, and came 
about the heat of the day to the house of Ish- 
bo'sheth, w T ho lay on a bed at noon. 

6 And they came thither into the midst of 
the house, as though they would have fetched 
wheat; and they smote him 5 under the fifth 
rib: and Re'chab and Ba'a-nah his brother 
escaped. 

7 For when they came into the house, he lay 
on his bed in his bed-chamber, and they smote 
him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took 
his head, and gat them away through the plain 
all night. 

8 And they brought the head of Ish-bo'sheth 
unto Da'vid to Hebron, and said to the king, 
Behold the head of Ish-bo'sheth the son of 
Saul thine enemy, c which sought thy life; and 
the 4 Lord hath avenged my lord the king this 
day of Saul, and of his seed. _ 

9 r And Da'vid answered Re'chab and Ba'a- 
nah his brother, the sons of Rim'mon the Be-e'- 
r5th-Ite, and said unto them, As the 4 Lord 
liveth, d who hath redeemed my soul out of all 
adversity, 

10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul 
is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, 
I took hold of him, and slew him in Zik'lag, 
who thought that I would have given him a 
reward for his tidings: 

11 How much more, when wicked men have 
slain a righteous 5 person in his own house 
upon his bed? shall I not therefore now Re- 
quire his blood of your hand, and take you 
away from the earth? 

12 And Da'vid commanded his young men, 
and they slew them, and cut off their hands 
and their feet, and hanged them up over the 
pool in He'bron. But they took the head of 
Ish-bo'sheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of 
Ab'ner in He'bron. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 The tribes come to Hebron to anoint David 
king over Israel. 4 David's age. 6 He tak- 
ing Zion from the Jebusites divelleth in it. 
11 Hiram sendeth to David. 13 Eleven sons 
are born to him in Jerusalem. 17 David 
smiteth the Philistines at Baal-perazim, 22 
and again at the mulberry trees. 

1 "Then came all the tribes of Is'ra-el to 
Da'vid unto He'bron, and spake, saying, Be- 
hold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

over us, thou wast he that leddest out and 



i. Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and 
upon the head of his seed for ever; but upon David, and upon his 
seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace 
for ever from the Lord. (I Ks. 2:33.) 

j. And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, who 
fell upon two men more righteous and better than he. and slew them 
with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner 
the son of Xer, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of 
Jether, the captain of the host of Judah (32). Their blood shall there- 
fore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for 
ever; but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon 
his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord (33). So Benaiah 
the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him and slew him, and he 
was buried in his own house in the wilderness. (I Ks. 2:32-34.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to 
Saul his son. Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go 
seek the asses (3). And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this 



city a man of God, and he is an honorable man: all that he saith 
cometh surely to pass; now let us go thither; peradventure he can 
show us our way that we should go. (I Sam. 9:3, 6.) 
h. See ch. 2:23. 

c. But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David, and Jonathan 
told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, 
I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a 
secret place, and hide thyself. (I Sam. 19:2.) 

d. The angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads: and 
let my name he named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham 
and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the 
earth. (Gen. 48:16.) 

e. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand 
of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man: at the hand 
of every man's brother will I require the life of man (5). Whoso shed- 
deth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image 
of God made he man. (Gen. 9:5, 6.) When he maketh inquisition for 
blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

broughtest in Is'ra-el: and the 2 Lord said to 
thee, Thou shalt feed my people Is'ra-el, and 
thou shalt be a captain over Is'ra-el. 

3 So all the elders of Is'ra-el came to the 
king to He'bron; and king Da'vid made a 
a league with them in He'bron before the Lord: 
and they anointed Da'vid king over is'ra-el. 

4 r Da'vid was thirty years old when he be- 
gan to reign, and he reigned forty years. 

5 In He'bron he reigned over Ju'dah seven 
years and six months: and in Je-ru'sa-lem he 
reigned thirty and three years over all Is'ra-el 
and Ju'dah. 

6 r = And the 6 king and his men went c to 
Je-ru'sa-lem unto the Jeb'u-sites, the inhab- 
itants of the land: which spake unto David, 
saying, Except thou take away the blind 4 and 
the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: think- 
ing, Da'vid cannot come in hither. 

7 Nevertheless Da'vid took the strong hold 
of Zi'on: the same is the city of Da'vid. 

8 And Da'vid said on that day, Whosoever 
getteth up to the 5 gutter, and smiteth the 
Jeb'u-sites, and the lame and the blind, that 
are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief 
and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind 
and the lame shall not come into the house. 

9 So Da'vid dwelt in the fort, and called it 
the city of Da'vid. And Da'vid built Ground 
about from Mil'lo and inward. 

10 And Da'vid went on, and grew great, and 
the 2 Lord God of hosts was with him. 

11 U 6 And Hi'ram king of Tyre sent mes- 
sengers to Da'vid, and cedar trees, and car- 
penters, and masons: and they built Da'vid an 
house. 

12 And Da'vid perceived" that the 2 Lord had 
established him king over Is'ra-el, and that he 
had exalted his kingdom "for his people 
is'ra-el's sake. 

13 r And Da'vid ftook him more 7 concubines 
and wives out of Je-ru'sa-lem, after he was 
come from He'bron : and there were yet sons 
and daughters bom to Da'vid. 

14 And these be the names of those that 
were born unto him in Je-ru'sa-lem; Sham- 
mii'ah, and Sho'bab, and Na'than, and Sol'o- 
mon, 

15 ib'har also, and El-i-shu'a, and Ne'pheg, 
and Ja-phi'a, 

16 And E-lish'a-ma, and E-li'a-da, and 
E-liph'a-let. 

17 r 5 But when the Phi-lis'tines heard that 
they had anointed Da'vid king over Is'ra-el, all 
the Phi-lis'tines came up to seek Da'vid; and 
Da'vid heard of it, and went down to the hold. 

18 The Phi-lis'tines also came and spread 
themselves in the valley of Reph'a-im. 

19 And Da'vid -"enquired of the 2 Lord, say-

5. The word translated gutter here 
is rendered water spout in Ps. 42:7. 
Keil translates it cataract; Furst 
translates it a hollow passage which 
would mean the water conduit be 
neath the citadel. , 

6. Vs. 11-16 detail David's tem- 
poral prosperity and intercourse with 
Hiram. 

7. He had eight wives and 10 con- 
cubines in all. While polygamy was 
permitted, it was always condemned 
by Jehovah. 

S. Vs. 17-25 detail the wars with 
the Philistines. As long as David 
reigned in Hebron and therefore only 
over a part of the country, the P. 
took but little notice of him. but as 
soon as be became king of all Israel, 
and the stronghold of the Jebusites 
fell into his hands, they became 
alarmed and gathered their forces to- 
gether to crush him. 

9. That is. the noise of something 
moving as of a mighty army, as in- 
deed it was — the sound of Jehovah's 
vast host going before the army of 
Israel and loading David to victory, 
as in the case of Elisba (II. Ks. 6:17) 
— "And Elisha prayed and said. Lord. 
I pray thee, open his eyes, that he 
may see. And the Lord opened the 
eyes of the young man; and be saw: 
and. behold, the mountain was full of 
horses and chariots of fire round about 
Elisha." 

Ch. 6. B. C. 1042. 

NOTE. — David was doubtless ac- 
quainted with Jehovah's promise in 
Dt. 12:5-11 to choose out of all the 
tribes a place to put his name; and 
now. having had the assistance of Je- 
hovah in capturing Zion, he seemed 
to be impressed that it was the 
chosen city, and it was manifestly 
proper that the ark of the covenant 
be brought to it from its obscurity 
in Kirjath-jearim. For this occa- 
sion David probably composed the 
24th Ps. 

1. Another name for Kirjath-jea-

2. According to De Wette and Keil 
— "Over which is called the name of 
Jehovah of hosts."

ark had been in obscurity and neglect 
for more than 60 years. 

4. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



ing, Shall I go up to the Phi-lis'tine§? wilt 
thou deliver them into mine hand? And the 
2 Lord said unto Da'vid, Go up: for I will 
doubtless deliver the Phi-lis'tines. into thine 
hand. 

20 And Da'vid came to Ba'al-per'a-zim, and 
Da'vid smote them there, and said, The Lord 
hath broken forth upon mine enemies before 
me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he 
called the name of that place Ba'al-per'a-zim. 

21 And there they left their images, and 
Da'vid and his men burned them. 

22 11 And the Phi-lis'tine§ came up yet again, 
and spread themselves in the valley of Reph'- 
a-im. 

23 And when ^Da'vid enquired of the 2 Lord, 
he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a 
compass behind them, and come upon them 
over against the mulberry trees. 

24 And let it be, when thou hearest the 
sound of a 'going in the tops of the mulberry 
trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for 
then shall the 2 Lord go out before thee, to 
smite the host of the Phi-lis'tine§. 

25 And Da'vid did so, as the 2 Lord had com- 
manded him; and smote the Phi-lis'tine§ from 
Ge'ba until thou come to Ga'zer. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 David fetcheth the ark from Kirjath-jearim 
on a new cart. 6 Uzzah is smitten at Perez- 
uzzah. 12 David, bringing the ark into Zion 
with sacrifices, danceth before it. 17 He 
pJaceth it in a tabernacle with great joy and 
feasting. 20 Michal reproving David for his 
religious joy is childless to her death. 

1 Again, Da'vid "gathered together all the 
chosen men of Is'ra-el, thirty thousand. 

2 And Da'vid arose, and went with all the 
people that were with him from 'Ba'a-le of 
Ju'dah, to bring up from thence the ark of 
God, whose name 2 is called by the name of the 
Lord of hosts that dwelleth ^between the cheru- 
bim. 

3 And they set the ark of God "upon a new 
cart, and brought it out of the house of 
3 A-bin'a-dab, that was in Gib'e-ah : and Uz'zah 
and A-hT'o, the sons of A-bin'a-dab, drave the 
new cart. 

4 And they brought it out of the house of 
A-bin'a-dab which was at Gib'e-ah, accompany- 
ing the ark of God : and A-hi'o went before the 
ark. 

5 And Da'vid and all the house of Is'ra-el 
played before the 4 Lord on all manner of in- 
struments made of fir wood, even on harps, 
and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on 
cornets, and on cymbals. 

6 H And when they came to Na'chon's thresh- 



Chapter 5. 

a. And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king 
and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; between the 
king also and the people. (II Ks. 11:17.) 

b. And David and all" Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; 
where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land (4). And the 
inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Never- 
theless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David (5). 
And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief 
and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief 
(6). And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of 
David (7). And he built the city round about, even from Millo round 
about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city (8). So David waxed 
greater and greater; for the Lord of hosts was with him. (I Chr. 11:4-9.) 

c. And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that 
inhabited Jerusalem: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Ben- 
jamin in Jerusalem unto this day. (Jud. 1:21.) As for the Jebusites 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children cf Judah could not drive 
them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerus- 
alem unto this day. (Josh 15:fi3.) 

d. And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the 
king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of 
David his father. (I Ks. 11:27.) 

e. For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even 
called thee by thy name; I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not 
known me. (Is. 45:4.) 

f. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn 
not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. 
(Dt. 17:17.) These were all the sons of David, besides the sons of the 
concubines, and Tamar their sister. (I Chr. 3:9.) 

g. And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the Lord, 



saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord 
said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And 
he said, Unto Hebron. (II Sam. 2:1.) Therefore, David enquired of 
the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord 
said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. (I 
Sam. 23:2.) And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue 
after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pur- 
sue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 
(I Sam. 30:8.) And enquired not of the Lord; therefore he slew him, 
and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. (I Chr. 10:14.) 
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own 
understanding (5). In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall 
direct thy paths. (Prov. 3:5, 6.) 
Chapter 6. 

a. So David gathered all Israel together-, from Shihor of Egypt 
even unto the enterinj of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kir- 
jath-jearim. (I Chr. 13:5.) 

b. So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between 
the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were 
there with the ark of the covenant of God- (I Sam. 4:4.) (To the chief 
musician upon Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.) Give ear, O 
Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that 
dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth. (Ps. 80:1.) And there I 
will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the 
mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of 
the testimony, cf all things which I will give thee in commandment 
unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) 

c. But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service 
of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon 
their shoulders. (Num. 7:9.)

ingfloor, Uz'zah put forth his hand to the ark 
of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen 
shook it. 

7 And the anger d of the 4 Lord was kindled 
against Uz'zah; and e God smote him there for 
his 5 error; and there he died by the ark of 
God. 

8 And Da'vid was displeased, because the 
'Lord had made a breach upon Uz'zah : and he 
called the name of the place Te'rez-uz'zah to 
this day. 

9 And Da'vid %as afraid of the Lord that 
day, and said, How shall the ark of the 4 Lord 
come to me? 

10 So Da'vid would not remove the ark of 
the Lord unto him into the city of Da'vid: but 
Da'vid carried it aside into the house of "O'bed- 
e'dom the Git'tite. 

11 Andthe ark of the Lord continued in the 
house of O'bed-e'dom the Git'tite three months : 
and the 4 Lord ''blessed O'bed-e'dom, and all his 
household. 

12 If And it was told king Da'vid, saying, 
The 4 Lord hath blessed the house of O'bed- 
e'dom, and all that pertaineth unto him, be- 
cause of the ark of God. So Da'vid went and 
brought up the ark of God from the house of 
O'bed-e'dom into the city of Da'vid with glad- 
ness. 

13 And it was so, and when they that bare 
the ark of the "Lord had gone six paces, he 
sacrificed oxen and fatlings. 

14 And Da'vid danced before the "Lord with 
all his might; and Da'vid was girded with a 
linen ephod. 

15 So Da'vid and all the house of Is'ra-el 
brought up the ark of the 4 Lord with shouting, 
and with the sound of the trumpet. 

16 And as the ark of the Lord came into 
the city of Da'vid, ^Mi'chal Saul's daughter 
looked through a window, and saw king Da'- 
vid leaping and dancing before the 4 Lord; and 
she 'despised him in her heart. 

17 If And they brought in the ark of the 
4 Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of 
the tabernacle that Da'vid had pitched for it: 
and Da'vid offered ^burnt "offerings and peace 
"offerings before the Lord. 

18 And as soon as Da'vid had made an end 
of offering burnt "offerings and peace "offer- 
ings, he blessed the people in the name of the 
4 Lord of hosts. 

19 And he dealt among all the people, even 
among the whole multitude of Is'ra-el, as well 
to the women as men, to every one a cake of 
bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon 
of wine. So all the people departed every one 
to his house. 

20 VThen Da'vid returned to bless his 
household. And Mi'chal the daughter of Saul 



5. That is, for his rashness, or on 
account of his error. There were 
two offenses of which he was guilty: 
first, moving the ark on a cart in- 
stead of having it carried on poles; 
.second, presuming to "touch the ark 
itself. 



6. That is, the breach of Uzzah. 



7. She had been used to notions 
of royalty as she was the daughter 
of a king, therefore she thought that 
King David was acting in a manner 
unbecoming his royal dignity. 



8. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or

in the enjoyment of peace afforded by 
a clear eor^cience, therefore an offer- 
ing to God in gratitude lor blessings

ous was the king of Is'ra-el to day, who un- 
covered himself to day in the eyes of the hand- 
maids of his servants, as one of the vain fel- 
lows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 

21 And Da'vid said unto Mi'chal, It was be- 
fore the 4 Lord, which chose me before thy 
father, and before all his house, to appoint 
me ruler over the people of the 4 Lord, over 
is'ra-el : therefore will I play before the "Lord. 

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, 
and will be base in mine own sight : and of the 
maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of

3 And Na'than said to the king, Go, do all 
that is <*in thine heart; for the 'Lord is with 
thee. 

4 If And it came to pass that night, that the 
word of the 4 Lord came unto Na'than, saying, 

5 Go and tell my servant Da'vid, Thus saith 
the a Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for 
me to dwell in? 

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house 
since the time that I brought up the children 
of is'ra-el out of E'gypt, even to this day, but 
have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. 

7 In all the places wherein I have walked 
with all the children of is'ra-el spake I a word 
with any of the tribes of Is'ra-el, whom I com- 
manded e to feed my people Is'ra-el, saying, 
Why build ye not me an house of cedar? 

8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my 
servant Da'vid, Thus saith the "Lord of hosts, 
I took thee from the 3 sheepcote, from following 
the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over 
Is'ra-el: 

9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou 
wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out 
of thy sight, and have made thee fa great 
name, like unto the name of the great men 
that are in the earth. 

10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my 
people Is'ra-el, and will "plant them, that they 
may dwell in a place of their own, and move 



d\ But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Odcd ; 
and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto 
them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth with 
Judah, he hath delivered them into your hands, and ye have slain them 
in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven. (II Chr. 28:9.) And my wrath 
shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall 
be widows, and your children fatherless. (Ex. 22:24.) And the anger 
of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. (Num. 12:9.) 
Then the earth shook and trembled; and the foundations of heaven 
moved and shook, because he was wroth (8). There went up a smoke 
Out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured; coals were 
kindled by it. (II Sam. 22:8, 9.) 

e. And he smote the 'men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked 
into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand 
and threescore and ten men; and the people lamented, because the 
Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter. (I Sam. 
C:190 

f. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy 
judgments. (Ps. 119:120.) When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at 
Ji us' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 
(Luke 5:8.) 

g. Moreover the sons of Obededom were Shemaiah the first-born, 
Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and 
Nethaneel the fifth (4). Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai 
the eighth; for God blessed bim (5). Also unto Shemaiah his son were 
sons born that ruled throughout the house of their father; for they 
were mighty men of valor (K). The sons of Shemaiah; Ofhni, and 
Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, 
;md Semachiah (7). All these of tbe sons of Obededom; they and their 



sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were 
threescore and two of Obededom. (I Ch. 26:4-8.)

Ihine eyes, tarry; for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath 
blessed me for thy sake. (Gen. 30:27.)

j. For the law and purpose of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

k. Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise; 
why shouldest thou destroy thyself? (Ecc. 7:16.) Yea, truth faileth; and 
he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey; and the Lord saw 
it and it displeased him that there was no judgment. (Is. 59:15.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said 
to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains. (I Chr. 17:1.) 

b. See ch. 5:11. 

c. Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of 
fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet; with cherubim of 
cunning work shalt thou make them. (Ex. 26:1.) And he brought the 
ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered 
the ark of the testimony; as the Lord commanded Moses. (Ex. 40:21.) 

d. And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house 
for the name of the Lord God of Israel. (I Ks. 8:17.) 

e. And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least 
among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a governor, that 
shall rule my people Israel. (Mat. 2:6.)

no more; neither shall the children of wicked- 
ness afflict them any more, as beforetime, 

11 And as since the time that I commanded 
judges to be over my people Is'ra-el, and have 
caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. 
Also the 'Lord telleth thee that he will make 
thee an house. 

12 II And when thy days be fulfilled, and 
thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, 7, I will set up 
thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out 
of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 

13 4 He shall build 'an house for my name, 
and / will stablish the throne of his ^kingdom 
for ever. 

14 I J'will be his "father, and he shall be my 
son. A 'If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him 
with the rod of men, and with the stripes of 
the children of men: 

15 But my mercy shall not depart away 
from him, as I took 'it from Saul, whom I 
put away before thee. 

16 And m thine house and thy kingdom shall 
be established for ever before thee: thy throne 
shall be established for ever. 

17 According to all these words, and accord- 
ing to all this vision, so did Nd'than speak unto 
Da'vid. 

18 VThen went king Da'vid in, and s sat be- 
fore the 1 Lord, and he said, "Who am I, Lord 
God? and what is my house, that thou hast 
brought me hitherto? 

19 And this was yet a small thing in thy 
sight, O 1 Lord God; but thou hast spoken also 
of thy servant's house for a great while to 
come. And "is this the manner of man, O 
*Lord God? 

20 And what can Da'vid say more unto thee? 
for thou, 'Lord God, Pknowest thy servant. 

21 For thy ^word's sake, and according to 
thine own heart, hast thou done all these great 
things, to make thy servant know them.

to redeem for a people to himself, and to make 
him a name, and to do for you great things and 
terrible, for thy ' J land, before thy people, which 
thou redeemedst to thee from E'gypt, from the 
nations and their gods? 

24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy 
people Is'ra-el to be a people unto thee for

25 And now, O 1 Lord God, the word that 
thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and 
concerning his house, establish it for ever, and

saying, The 1 Lord of hosts is the God over

unto thee.

them again to this land; and I will build them, and not pull them down; 
and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. (Jer. 24:6.) And I will 
plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out o£ 
their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. (Amos 
9:15.) 

h. And the Lord hath performed his word that he spake, and I 
am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of 
Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built an house for the name 
of the Lord God of Israel. (I Ks. 8:20.) The Lord hath sworn in 
truth unto David; he will not turn from it; of the fruit of thy body will 
I set upon thy throne. (Ps. 132:11.) 

i. And behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the 
Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying, Thy 
son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an 
house unto my name. (I Ks. 5:5.) Concerning this house which thou art 
in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judg- 
ments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I 
perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father. (I 
Ks. 6:12.) Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son 
that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unio 
thy name. (I Ks. 8:19.) 

j. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my 
son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a 
Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Heb. 1:5.) He shall cry unto 
me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation (26). 
Also I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth. 
(Ps. 89:26, 27.) 

k. Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but 
I will make him> prince all the days of his life for David my servant's 
sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my 
statutes. (I Ks. 11:34.) If his children forsake my law, and walk not 
in my judgments; If they break my statutes, and keep not my com- 
mandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and 
their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not 
utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. (Ps. 89:30-33.) 

1. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as 
iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the 
Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. (I Sam. 15:23.) But 
the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the 
Lord troubled him. (I Sam. 16:14.) 

m. The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that 
Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must 
be lifted up? Who is the Son of man? (Jno. 12:34.) His seed shall 
endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be 
established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. 
Selah. (Ps. 89:36, 37.) See v. 13. 

n. I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the 
truth, which thou hast shown unto thy servant; for with my staff I 
passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. (Gen. 32:10.) 



And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, 
and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? (Ex. 
3:11.) And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or 
my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king? 
(I Sam. 18:18.) 

o. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways 
my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 
so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your 
thoughts. (Is. 55:8, 9.) 

p. O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. (Ps. 139:1.) But 
the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the 
height of his stature; because I have refused him; for the Lord secth 
not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the 
Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) He saith unto him the third 
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because 
he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto 
him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. 
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (Jno. 21:17.) 

q. And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one an- 
other, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Eph. 4:32.) O 
Lord, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast 
thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 
(I Chr. 17:19.) 

r. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to 
be feared above all gods. (I Chr. 16:25.) Forasmuch as there is none 
like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 
(Jer. 10:6.) O Lord God, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy 
greatness and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in 
earth that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? 
(Dt. 3:24.) Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, 
because of thy judgments. (Ps. 48:11.) For thou art great, and doest 
wondrous things; thou art God alone. (Ps. 86:10.) For who in the 
heaven can be compared unto the Lcrd? who among the sons of the 
mighty can be likened unto the Lord? (Ps. 89:6.) 

s. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto 
them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 
(Dt. 4:7.) See Dt. 32:38. 

t. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth 
wondrous things (18). And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and 
let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. (Ps. 
72:18, 19.) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art 
in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. (Mat. 6:9.) 

u. The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face 
to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his 
countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. (Num. 6:24-26.) He is the 
tower of salvation for his king: and showeth mercy to his anointed, 
unto David, and to his seed for evermore. (II Sam. 22:51.) See Ps. 
89:20-29.

2 And he 6 smote Mo'ab, and measured them 
with = a line, casting them down to the ground; 
even with two lines measured he to put to 
death, and with one full line to keep alive. 
And so the M5'ab-Ites became Da'vid's serv- 
ants, and brought gifts. 

3 % Da'vid smote also Had-ad-e'zer, the son 
of Re'hob, king of Zo'bah, as he went to re- 
cover his border at the river Eu-phra'te§. 

4 And Da'vid took from him a thousand 
chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and 
twenty thousand footmen : and Da'vid 'houghed 
all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for 
an hundred chariots. 

5 And when the Syr'i-ans. of Da-mas'cus 
came to succour Had-ad-e'zer king of Zo'bah, 
Da'vid slew of the Syr'i-an§ two and twenty 
thousand men. 

6 Then Da'vid put garrisons in Syr'i-a of 
Da-mas'cus: and the Syr'i-ans. became servants 
to Da vid, and brought gifts. And the s Lord 
preserved Da'vid whithersoever he went. 

7 And Da'vid took the shields of 5 gold that 
were on the servants of Had-ad-e'zer, and 
brought them to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

8 And from Be'tah, and from Ber'o-thai, 
cities of Had-ad-e'zer, king Da'vid took ex- 
ceeding much brass. 

9 T When To'i king of Ha/math heard that 
Da'vid had smitten all the host of Had-ad-e'- 
zer, 

10 Then T5'i sent Jo'ram his son unto king 
Da'vid, to salute him, and to bless him, be- 
cause he had fought against Had-ad-e'zer, and 
smitten him: for Had-ad-e'zer had wars with 
To'i. And Jo'ram bi-ought with him vessels of 
silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass : 

11 Which also king Da'vid did dedicate unto 
the s Lord, with the silver and gold that he had 
dedicated of all nations which he subdued; 

12 Of Syr'i-a, and of Md'ab, and of the chil- 
dren of Am'mon, and of the Phi-lis'tine§, and 
of Am'a-lek, and of the spoil of Had-ad-e'zer, 
son of Re'hob, king of Zo'bah. 

13 And Da'vid gat him a name when he 
returned from smiting of the Syr'i-ans in the 
valley of 6 salt, being eighteen thousand men. 

14 % And he_ put garrisons in E'dom; 
throughout all E'dom put he garrisons, and all 
c they of E'dom became Da'vid's servants. And 
the 6 Lord preserved d Da'vid whithersoever he 
went.

Da'vid executed judgment and justice unto all 
his people. 

16 And Jo'ab the son of Zer-u-I'ah was over

A-him'e-lech the son of A-bi'a-thar, were the 
priests; and Ser-a-i'ah was the r scribe;

rash king misjudges their motive and 
has them treated in the most shame-

reap. 



left of the house of Saul, that I may "shew 
him kindness for Jon'a-than's sake? 

2 And there was of the house of Saul a 
servant whose name was Zi'ba. And when 
they had called him unto Da'vid, the king said 
unto him, Art thou Zi'ba? And he said, Thy 
servant is he. 

3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of 
the house of Saul, that I may shew "the kind- 
ness of God unto him? And Zi'ba said unto 
the king, Jon'a-than hath yet a son, which is 
lame on his feet. 

4 And the & king said unto him, Where is he? 
And Zi'ba said unto the king, Behold, he is in 
the house of Ma'chir, the son of Am'mi-el, in 
'Lo-de'bar. 

5 f Then king Da'vid sent, and fetched him 
out of the house of Ma'chir, the son of Am' 
mi-el, from Lo-de'bar. 

6 Now when Me-phib'o-sheth, the son of 
Jon'a-than, the son of Saul, was come unto 
Da'vid, he fell on his face, and did reverence. 
And Da'vid said, Me-phib'o-sheth. And he an- 
swered, Behold thy servant! 

7 If And Da'vid said unto him, Fear c not : 
for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jon'a- 
than thy father's sake, and will restore thee 
all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt 
eat bread at my table continually. 

8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is 
thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such 
a "dead dog as I am? 

9 IT Then the king called to Zi'ba, Saul's 
servant, and said unto him, I have given unto 
thy master's son all that pertained to Saul 
and to all his house. 

10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy 
servants, shall till the land for him, and thou 
shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's 
son may have food to eat: but Me-phib'o-sheth 
thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my 
table. Now Zi'ba had fifteen sons and twenty 
servants. 

11 Then said Zi'ba unto the king, According 
to all that my lord the king hath commanded 
his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for 
Me-phib'o-sheth, said the king, he shall eat at 
my table, as one of the king's sons. 

12 And Me-phib'o-sheth had a young son, 
whose name was Mi'cha. And all that dwelt 
in the house of Zi'ba were servants unto Me- 
phib'o-sheth. 

13 So Me-phib'o-sheth dwelt in Je-ru'sa-lem: 
for he did eat continually at the king's table; 
and was lame on both his feet.

1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun

1 And it "came to pass 'after this, that the 
& king of the children of 2 Am'mon died, and 
"Ha'nun his son reigned in his stead. 

2 Then said Da'vid, I will shew kindness 
unto Ha'niin the son of Na'hash, as his father 
shewed kindness unto me. And Da'vid sent to 
comfort him by the hand of his servants for 
his father. And Da'vid's servants came into 
the land of the children of Am'mon.

a. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved 
him as his own soul. (I Sam. 18:3.) And thou shalt not only while 



yet I live show me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not. (I Sam. 
20:14.) Thine own friend, and thy father's friend forsake not: neither 
go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a 
neighbor that is near than a brother far off. (Prov. 27:10.) 

b. And Jonathan. Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. 
He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out 
of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass 
as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his 
name was Mephibosheth. (II Sam 4:4.) 

c. Now therefore fear thee not: I will nourish you and your little 
ones. And he comforted them and spake kindly unto them. (Gen. 50:21.)

b. Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against 
Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a cov- 
enant with us, and we will serve thee. (I Sam. 11:1.)

mon said unto 3 Ha'nun their lord, Thinkest 
thou that Da'vid doth honour thy father, that 
he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not 
Da'vid rather sent his servants unto thee, to 
search the city, and to spy it out, and to over- 
throw it? 

4 Wherefore 3 Ha'niin took Da'vid's servants, 
and shaved off the one half of their 4 beards, 
and cut off their garments in the middle, even 
to their buttocks, and sent them away. 

5 When they told it unto Da'vid, he sent to 
meet them, because the men were greatly 
ashamed : and the king said, Tarry at Jer'i-cho 
until your beards be grown, and then return. 

6 If And when the children of 2 Am'mon saw 
that they "stank f before Da'vid, the children of 
Am'mon sent and hired the Syr'i-ans. of Beth- 
re'hob, and the Syr'I-ans. of Zo'ba, twenty thou- 
sand footmen, and of king Ma'a-cah a thousand 
men, and of ish'tob twelve thousand men. 

7 And when Da'vid heard of it, he sent 
Jo'ab and all the host of d the mighty men. 

8 And the children of 2 Am'mon came out, 
and put the battle in array at the entering in 
of the gate: and the Syr'I-ans. of Zd'ba, and 
of Re'hob, and Ish'tob, and Ma'a-cah, were by 
themselves in the field. 

9 When Jo'ab saw that the front of the bat- 
tle was against him before and behind, he 
chose of all the choice men of Is'ra-el, and put 
them in array against the Syr'i-an§: 

10 And the rest of the people he delivered 
into the hand of A-bish'a-i his brother, that he 
might put them in array against the children 
of Am'mon. 

11 And he said, If the Syr'i-an§ be too strong 
for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the 
children of Am'mon be too strong for thee, 
then I will come and help thee. 

12 Be of e good courage, and let us e play 
fthe men for our people, and for the cities of 
our God: and the 7 Lord do that which seemeth 
him good. 

13 And Jo'ab drew nigh, and the people that 
were with him, unto the battle against the 
Syr'i-an§: and they fled before him. 

14 And when the children of Am'mon saw 
that the Syr'i-an§ were fled, then fled they also 
before A-bish'a-i, and entered into the city. So 
Jo'ab returned from the children of Am'mon, 
and came to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15 If And when the Syrl-ans. saw that they 
were smitten before Is'ra-el, they gathered 
themselves together. 

16 And Had-ar-e'zer sent, and brought out 
the Syr'i-an§ that were beyond the river: and 
they came to He'lam; and Sho'bach the captain 
of the host of Had-ar-e'zer went before them.

and came to He'lam. And the Syr'i-an§ set 
themselves in array against Da'vid, and fought 
with him. 

18 And the Syr'i-an§ fled before is'ra-el; 
and Da'vid slew the men of seven hundred 
chariots of the Syr'i-an§, and forty thousand 
horsemen, and smote Sho'bach the captain of 
their host, who died there. 

19 And when all the kings that were serv- 
ants to Had-ar-e'zer saw that they were smit- 
ten before is'ra-el, they made peace with is'- 
ra-el, and served them. So the Syr'i-an§ feared 
to help the children of Am'mon any more. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 While Joab besieged Rabbah, David commit- 
teth adultery with Bath-sheba. 6 Uriah, sent 
for by David to cover the adultery, would 
not go home. 14 He carrieth to Joab the 
letter of his death. 18 Joab sendeth the news 
thereof to David. 26 David taketh Bath- 
sheba to wife. 

1 And it came to pass, after the year was 
expired, at the time when kings go ^orth to 
battle, that Da'vid sent Jd'ab, and his servants 
with him, and all is'ra-el; and they destroyed 
the children of Am'm5n, and besieged 2 Rab'bah. 
But Da'vid tarried still at Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 11 3 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, 
that Da'vid arose from off his bed, a and walked 
upon the roof of the king's house: and from 
the roof he 6 saw a woman washing herself; 
and the woman was very beautiful to look 
upon. 

3 And Da'vid sent and enquired after the 
woman. And one said, Is not this Bath'-she- 
ba, the daughter of E-li'am, the wife of U-ri'ah 
the Hit'tite? 

4 And Da'vid sent messengers, and took her; 
and she came in unto him, and c he lay with 
her; for she was ^purified from her 4 unclean- 
ness: and she returned unto her house. 

5 And the woman conceived, and sent and 
told 5 Da'vid, and said, e I am with child. 

6 1f 6 And Da'vid sent .to Jo'ab, saying, Send 
me U-ri'ah the Hit'tite. And Jo'ab sent U-ri'- 
ah to Da'vid. 

7 And when U-ri'ah was come unto him, 
Da'vid demanded of him how Jo'ab did, and 
how the people did, and how the war pros- 
pered. 

8 And Da'vid said to U'ri'ah, ^Go down to 
thy house, and wash thy feet. And U-ri'ah 
departed out of the king's house, and there 
followed him a mess of meat from the king. 

9 But ^U-ri'ah slept at the door of the king's 
house, with all the servants of his lord, and 
went not down to his house. 



c. And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to 
make me stink among the inhabitants of the land among the Canaanites 
and the Perizzites: and I, being few in number, they shall gather them- 
selves together against me and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and 
my house. (Gen. 34:30.) And they said unto them, The Lord look 
upon you and judge: because ye have made our savor to be abhorred 
in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, to put a 
sword in their hand to slay us. (Ex. 5:21.) And all Israel heard say 
that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel 
also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were 
called together after Saul to Gilgal. (I Sam. 13:4.) 

d. These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: 
The Taehmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the 
same was Abino the Eznite; he lift up his spear against eight hundred, 
whom he slew at one time. (II Sam. 23:8.) 

e. Be strong and of a good courage, fear not nor be afraid of 
them: for the Lord thy God, lie it is that doth go with thee; he will 
not fail thee nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) And I will give them one 
heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony- 
heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh. (Ezek. 
11:19.) Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt 
thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their 
fathers to give them. (Josh. 1:6.) 

f. Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that 
ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit 
yourselves like men and fight. (I Sam. 4:9.) Watch ye, stand fast 
in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (I Cor. 16:13.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battle- 
ment for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house if any 
man fall from thence. (Dt. 22:8.) And when they were come down from 



the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top 
of the house. (I Sam. 9:25.) Let him which is on the housetop not come 
down to take any thing out of his house. (Mat. 24:17.) On the morrow 
as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter 
went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour. (Acts 10:9.) 

b. I made a covenant with mine eyes: why then should I think 
upon a maid? (Job 31:1.) But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh 
upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her 
already in his heart. (Mat. 5:28.) 

c. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his 
own lust and enticed (14). Then, when lust hath conceived, it bringeth 
forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (James 
1*14 15 ) See Ps. 51 

d. See Lev. 12:2-5, Lev. 15:19-28, Lev. 18:19. 

e. And the man that eommitteth adultery with another man's wife, 
even he that eommitteth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer 
and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. (Lev. 20:10.) If a 
man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they 
shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the 
woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. (Dt. 22:22.) 

f. Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, 
and rest yourselves under the tree. (Gen. 18:4.) And he said, Behold 
now, my lords, turn in I pray you into your servant's house, and tarry 
all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early and go on 
your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all 
night. (Gen. 19:2.) 

g. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands 
cannot perform their enterprise. He taketh the wise in their own 
craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. (Job 
5:12, 13.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against 
the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.)

10 And when they had told Da'vid, saying,. 
U-ri'ah went not down unto his house, Da'vid 
said unto U-ri'ah, Camest thou not from thy 
journey? why then didst thou not go down 
unto thine house? 

11 And U-ri'ah said unto Da'vid, ''The ark, 
and Is'ra-el, and Ju'dah, abide in tents; and 
'my lord Jo'ab, and the servants of my lord, 
are encamped in the open fields; shall I then 
go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to 
lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy 
soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 

12 And Da'vid said to U-ri'ah, ^Tarry here 
to day also, and to morrow I will let thee 
depart. So U-ri'ah abode in Je-ru'sa-lem that 
day, and the morrow. 

13 And when Da'vid had called him, he did 
eat and drink before him; and he *made him 
drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his 
bed with the servants of his lord, but went 
T not down to his house. 

14 If And it came to pass in the morning, 
that Da'vid 'wrote a s letter to J5'ab, and sent 
it by the hand of U-ri'ah. 

15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set 
ye U-ri'ah in the forefront of the hottest bat- 
tle, and retire ye from him, 'that he may m be 
smitten, and die. 

16 And it came to pass, when Jo'ab observed 
the city, that he assigned U-ri'ah unto a place 
where he knew that valiant men were. 

17 And the men of the city went out, and 
fought with J5'ab: and there fell some of the 
people of the servants of Da'vid; and U-ri'ah 
the Hit'tite died also. 

18 If Then Jo'ab sent and told Da'vid all the 
things concerning the war; 

19 And charged the messenger, saying, When 
thou hast made an end of telling the matters 

1 of the war unto the king, 

20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, 
and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached 
ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? 
knew ye not that they would shoot from the 
wall? 

21 Who smote A-bim'e-lech the son of Je- 
rub'be-sheth? did not a woman cast a piece of 
a millstone upon him from the wall, that he 
died in Thelsez? why went ye nigh the wall? 
then say thou, Thy servant U-ri'ah the Hit'- 
tite is dead also. 

22 II .So the messenger went, and came and 
shewed Da'vid all that Jo'ab had sent him 
for. 

23 And the messenger said unto Da'vid, 
Surely the men prevailed against us, and came 
out unto us into the field, and we were upon 
them even unto the entering of the gate. 

24 And the shooters shot from off the wall 



7. It seems to have been an act 
of Providence to bring into the open 
light the sin of David, which has 
given to the world one of the most 
solemn warnings against sin found 
in the Bible. 



8. Thus far having been defeated 
in his efforts to conceal his sin, the 
king now writes a letter planning the 
death of Uriah.

longer, as they were anxious to con- 
summate their foul purpose, therefore 
no unnecessary time must be lost. 



in. That is, was evil in the ey<

Ch. 12. B. C. 1034. 

NOTE. — About a year had passed. 
Uriah had been killed in battle and 
was forgotten, the child of guilt had 
been born in the royal house and re- 
ceived all the passionate tenderness 
of David's emotional heart; but the 
conditions shift in this ch. and the 
prophet Nathan appears on the scene, 
as if to demand redress at the hands 
of a sinful man, making clear and 
manifest the sin of the king in the 
indignation which he himself express- 
es at the sin of another. 



1. Vs. 1-14 detail Nathan's par- 
able against David. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. David had already pronounced 
sentence upon the sin discussed and 
it only remains to show him that he 
is the guilty party, as is done iu this 
verse. 



4. That is. David was guilty of 
murder, had broken the commandment 
which said, "Thou shalt not kill." 



upon thy servants; and some of the king's 
servants be dead, and thy servant U-fi'ah the 
Hit'tite is dead also. 

25 Then Da'vid said unto the messenger, 
Thus shalt thou say unto Jo'ab, Let not this 
thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth 
"one as well as another: make thy battle more 
strong against the city, and overthrow it: 
and encourage thou him. 

26 1f And when the wife of U-ri'ah heard 
that U-ri'ah her husband was dead, she 
mourned "for her husband. 

27 And when the mourning was past, Da'vid 
sent and fetched her to his house, and she 
became his wife, and bare him a son. But 
the thing that Da'vid had done '"displeased the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 Nathan's parable of the ewe lamb. 7 David 
confesseth his sin, and is pardoned. 15 Da- 
vid mourneth and prayeth for the child, while 
it lived. 24 Solomon is born, and' named 
Jedidiah. 26 David taketh Rabbah, and tor- 
tureth the people thereof. 

1 'And the 2 Lord sent Na'than unto Da'vid. 
a And he came unto him, and said unto him, 
There were two men in one city; the one rich, 
and the other poor. 

2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks 
and herds: 

3 But the poor man had nothing, save one 
little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nour- 
ished up: and it grew up together with him, 
and with his children; it did eat of his own 
meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in 
his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. 

4 And there came a traveller unto the rich 
man, and he spared to take of his own flock 
and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring 
man that was come unto him; but took the 
poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man 
that was come to him. 

5 And Da'vid's anger was greatly kindled 
against the man; and he said to Na'than, As 
the 2 Lord liveth, the man that hath done this 
thing 6 shall surely die: 

6 And he shall restore c the lamb fourfold, 
because he did this thing, and because he had 
no pity. 

7 If And Na'than said to Da'vid, 3 Thou ^art 
the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Is'ra-el, 
I anointed thee king over is'ra-el, and I deliv- 
ered thee out of the hand of Saul; 

8 And I gave thee c thy master's house, and 
thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave 
thee the house of Is'ra-el and of Ju'dah; and 
if that had been too little, I would moreover 
have given unto thee such and such things. 

9 Wherefore hast thou ^despised the Vom- 



it. That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell 
in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains (2). 
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought 
up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have 
walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. (II Sam. 7:2. 6.) 

i. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the 
servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelze- 
bub, how much more shall they call them of his household? (Mat. 10:25.) 

j. Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it 
under his tongue; Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it 
still within his mouth: Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the 
gall of asps within him. (Job 20:12-14.) 

k. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the 
first-born went in and lay with her father; and he perceived not when 
she lay down nor when she arose. (Gen. 19:33.) Woe unto him that 
giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest 
him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! (Hab. 
2:15.) 

1. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret 
faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins: let them 
not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be 
innocent from the great transgression. (Ps. 19:12, 13.) Because sen- 
tence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart 
of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. (Ecc. 8:11.) The 
heart Is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can 
know it? (.lor. 17:9.) So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed 
them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the 
nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. And sh<» wrote 
In the letters saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among 
the people: and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness 



against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then 
carry him out and stone him, that he may die. (I Ks. 21:8-10.) 

m. See ch. 12, v. 9. 2 

n. I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the 
swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor 
yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill' 
but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth 
not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the 
birds that ar5 caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in 
an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. (Ecc. 9:11, 12.) 
Chapter 12. 

a. See Ps. 51. 

b. This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the Lord liveth, 
ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the Lord's 
anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of 
water that was at his bolster. (I Sam. 26:16.) 

c. If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; 
he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. (Ex. 
22:1.) And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the 
half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing 
from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. (Luke 19:S ) 

d. And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and 
Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an 
horse with the horsemen. (I Ks. 20:20.) 

e. And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely show thee 
kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the 
land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table con- 
tinually. (II Sam. 9:7.) 

f. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but

mandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? 
"thou hast killed U-ri'ah the Hit'tlte with the 
sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, 
and hast slain him with the sword of the chil- 
dren of Am'mon. 

10 Now therefore ''the sword 5 shall never 
depart from thine house; because thou hast 
despised me, and hast taken the wife of U-ri'ah 
the Hit'tlte to be thy wife. 

11 Thus saith the 2 Lord, Behold, I will raise 
up s evil against thee out of thine own house, 
and I will 'take thy wives 7 before thine eyes, 
and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall 
lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 

12 For thou didst it secretly: ■'but I will do 
this thing before all Is'ra-el, and before the 
sun. 

13 And Da'vid 'said unto Na'than, I have 
sinned against the 2 Lord. And Na'than said 
unto Da'vid, s The Lord also hath m put away 
thy sin; thou shalt not die. 

14 Howbeit, "because by this deed thou hast 
given great occasion to the enemies of the 
Lord "to blaspheme, the child also that is born 
unto thee shall surely die. 

15 If 10 And Na'than departed unto his house. 
And the 2 Lord struck the child that U-ri'ah's 
wife bare unto Da'vid, and it was very sick. 

16 Da'vid therefore besought God for the 
child; and Da'vid "fasted, and went in, and 
lay all night upon the earth. 

17 And the elders of his house arose, and 
went to him, to raise him up from the earth: 
but he would not, neither did he eat bread 
with them. 

18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, 
that the child died. And the servants of 
Da'vid feared to tell him that the child was 
dead: for they said, Behold, while the child 
was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he 
would not hearken unto our voice: how will he 
then vex himself, if we tell him that the child 
is dead? 

19 But when Da'vid saw that his servants 
whispered, Da'vid perceived that the child was 
dead: therefore Da'vid said unto his servants, 
Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. 



5. A prediction which was fulfilled 
in all of its terrible consequences. 

6. Another prediction which was 
fulfilled in Absalom's rebellion. 



7. A prophecy fulfilled in ch. 16:22 
— "So they spread Absalom a tent 
on the top of the house; and Absalom 
went in unto his father's concubine in 
the sight of all Israel." 

S. An example of saving grace, 
showing that pardon is awaiting the 



repentant sinner. 



9. The honor of God's law must be 
upheld. Though David has been for- 
given, he must suffer and pay the cost 
of violated law; to, this period of 
his life belongs Ps. 51.

According to Shaw, the unfortunate

instrument or roller with jagged iron

over them." 

17. That is, any iron cutting in- 
strument with a sharp blade. (Keil.) 

18. That is. burned to death by 
forcing them through the intense heat 
of brick-kilns. A mode of punish- 
ment rather common at that time. 



20 Then Da'vid arose from the earth, and 
washed, and anointed himself, and changed his 
apparel, and came into the "house of the Tjord, 
and worshipped: then he came to his own 
house; and when ha required, they set bread 
before him, and he did eat. 

21 Then said his servants unto him. What 
thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst 
fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; 
but when the child was dead, thou didst rise 
and eat bread. 

22 And he said, While the child was yet 
alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can 
Ptell whether God will be gracious to me, that 
the child may live? 

23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I 
fast? can I bring him back again? 8 1 shall 
go 12 to him, but r he shall not return to me. 

24 If And Da'vid comforted Bath'-she-ba his 
wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: 
and she bare a son, and s he called his name 
S51'o-mon : and the Lord loved him. 

25 And he sent by the hand of Na'than the 
prophet; and he called his name 13 Jed-i-di'ah, 
because of the Lord. 

26 If And Jo'ab fought against Rab'bah of 
the children of Am'mon, and took the royal 
city. 

27 And Jo'ab sent messengers to Da'vid, and 
said, I have fought against Rab'bah, and have 
taken the city of waters. 

28 Now therefore gather the rest of the 
people together, and encamp against the city, 
and take it: lest I take the city, and it be 
called after my name. 

29 And Da'vid gathered all the people to- 
gether, and went to Rab'bah, and fought 
against it, and took it. 

30 And he took their king's crown from off 
his head, the weight whereof was a "talent of 
gold with the precious stones: and it was set 
on Da'vid's head. And he brought forth the 
spoil of the city in great abundance. 

31 And he brought forth the people that 
were therein, and 'put them under 15 saws, and 
under harrows 16 of iron, and under axes "of 
iron, and made them pass through the "brick- 



didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord? (I 
Sam. 15:19.) Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and 
hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his 
iniquity shall be upon him. (Num. 15:31.) 

g. See ch. 11, v. 15. 

h. And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of 
Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died. (I Ks. 2:25.) Now Absa- 
lom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's 
heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon, 
then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? Be courageous 
and be valiant. (II Sam. 13:28.) Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus 
with thee. And he took three darts in his hand and thrust them 
through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of 
the oak. (II Sam. 18:14.) 

i. And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's 
concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall 
hear that thou art abhorred of thy father; then shall the hands of all 
that are with thee be strong. So they spread Absalom a tent upon the 
top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in 
the sight of all Israel. (II Sam. 16:21, 22.) 

j. So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and 
Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in sight of all Israel. 
(II Sam. 16:22.) 

1. And Saul said unto famuel, I have sinned: for I have trans- 
gressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words; because I 
feared the people and obeyed their voice (24). Then he said, I have 
sinned; yet honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, 
and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the 
Lord thy God. (I Sam. 15:24, 30.) And David's heart smote him after 
that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I 
have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O 
Lord, take away the Iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very 
foolishly. (II Sam. 24:10.) And the publican standing afar off, would 
not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, 
saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) I have sinned; 
what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou 
set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? (Job 
7:20.) He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but who confesseth 
and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Prov. 28:13.) 

m. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is 
covered. (Ps. 32:1.) Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth 
jniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his 
heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in 
mercy. (Micah 7:18.) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified 
with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we 



should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if 
we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. 
(Rom. 6:6-8.) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive 
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I Jno. 1:9.) 
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and 
forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Prov. 28:13.) 

n. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord; that my 
people is taken away for naught? they that rule over them make them 
to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blas- 
phemed. (Is. 52:5.) For the name of God is blasphemed among the 
Gentiles through you, as it is written. (Rom. 2:24.) 

0. Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, 
and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the 
Lord, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and 
peace offerings before the Lord. (Jud. 20:26.) Sanctify ye a fast, call a 
solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land 
into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord. (Joel 1:14.) 

p. Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of 
David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: 
behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. (Is. 38:5.) Who can 
tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, 
that we perish not? (Jonah 3:9.) Nicodemus answered and said unto 
him, How can these things be? (Jno. 3:9.) 

q. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were 
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, 
eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be 
clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being 
clothed we shall not be found naked (1-3). We are confident, I say, 
and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with 
the Lord. (II Cor. 5:1-3, 8.) For here have we no continuing city, but 
we seek one to come. (Heb. 13:14.) And all his sons and all his 
daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; 
and he said. For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. 
Thus his father wept for him. (Gen. 37:35.) 

r. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more; thine 
eyes are upon me, and I am not. As the cloud is consumed and 
vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no 
more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place 
know him any more. (Job. 7:8-10.) 

s. Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; 
and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his 
name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto 
Israel in his days. (I Chr. 22:9.) 

t. They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were 
slain with a sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; 
being destitute, afflicted, tormented. (Hebrew 11:37.)

kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the 
children of Am'mon. So Da'vid and all the 
people returned unto Je-ru'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 Amnon loving Tamar, feigning himself sick, 
ravisheth her. 15 He hateth her. 19 Ab- 
salom entertaineth her. 23 At a sheepshear- 
ing he killeth Amnon. 30 David grieving is 
comforted by Jonadab. 37 Absalom flieth 
to Talmai at Geshur. 

1 And it came to pass J after this, that Ab'- 
sa-16m the son of Da'vid had a fair sister, 
whose name was Ta'mar; and Amnon the son 
of Da'vid loved her. 

2 And Am'non was so vexed, that he fell 
sick for his sister Ta'mar; for she was a vir- 
gin; and Am'non thought it hard for him to 
do any thing to her. 

3 But Am'non had a friend, whose name 
was Jon'a-dab, the son of Shim'e-ah Da'vid's 
brother: and Jon'a-dab was a very subtil man. 

4 And he said unto him, Why art thou, 
being the king's son, lean a from day to day? 
wilt thou not tell me? And Am'non said unto 
him, I love Ta'mar, my brother Ab'sa-lom's 
sister. 

5 And Jon'a-dab said unto him, Lay thee 
down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and 
when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto 
him, I pray thee, let my sister Ta'mar come, 
and give me meat, and dress the meat in my 
sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. 

6 If 2 So Am'non lay down, and made himself 
sick: and when the king was come to see him, 
Am'non said unto the king, I pray thee, let 
Ta'mar my sister come, and make me a couple 
of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her 
hand. 

7 Then Da'vid sent home to Ta'mar, saying, 
Go now to thy brother Am'non's house, and 
dress him meat. 

8 So Ta'mar went to her brother Am'non's 
house; and he was laid down. And she took 
flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his 
sight, and did bake the cakes. 

9 And she took a pan, and poured them out 
before him; but he refused to eat. And Am'- 
non said, 6 Have out all men from me. And 
they went out every man from him. 

10 And Am'non said unto Ta'mar, Bring 
the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of 
thine hand. And Ta'mar took the cakes which 
she had made, and brought them into the 
chamber to Am'nSn her brother. 

11 And when she had brought them unto 
him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto 
her, Come lie with me, my sister. 

12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother,

do not force me; for no such thing ought to be 
done in Is'ra-el : do not thou this c folly. 

13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame 
to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one 
of the fools in is'ra-el. Now therefore, I pray 
thee, speak unto the king; for he d will not 
withhold me from thee. 

14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her 
voice: but, being stronger than she, c forced 
her, and lay with her. 

15 IT Then Am'non hated her exceedingly; so 
that the hatred wherewith he hated her was 
greater than the love wherewith he had loved 
her. And Am'non said unto her, Arise, be 
gone. 

16 And she said unto him, There is no cause : 
this evil in sending me away is greater than 
the other that thou didst unto me. But he 
would not hearken unto her. 

17 Then he called his servant that ministered 
unto him, and said, Put now this woman out 
from me, and bolt the door after her. 

18 And she had a garment ^of divers colours 
upon her: for with such robes were the king's 
daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then 
his servant brought her out, and bolted the 
door after her. 

19 If And Ta'mar put 3 ashes ^on her head, 
and rent her garment of divers colours that 
was on her, and laid her hand on her head, 
and went on crying. 

20 4 And Ab'sa-lom her brother said unto her, 
Hath Am'non thy brother been with thee? but 
hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy broth- 
er; regard not this thing. So Ta'mar re- 
mained 5 desolate in her brother Ab'sa-lom's 
house. 

21 If But when king Da'vid heard of all these 
things, he was very wroth. 

22 And Ab'sa-lom spake unto his brother 
Am'non neither good nor bad: for Ab'sa-lom 
hated 'Am'non, because he had forced his sis- 
ter Ta'mar. 

23 If And it came to pass after two full 
years, that Ab'sa-lom had sheepshearers in 
Ba'al-ha'zor, which is beside E'phra-im: and 
Ab'sa-lom invited all the king's sons. 

24 And Ab'sa-lom came to the king/ and 
said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshear- 
ers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his serv- 
ants go with thy servant. 

25 And the king said to Ab'sa-lom, Nay, my 
son, let us not all now go, lest we be charge- 
able unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit 
he would not go, but blessed him. 

26 Then said Ab'sa-lom, If not, I pray thee, 
let my brother Am'non go with us. And the 
king said unto him, Why should he go with 
thee? 



Chapter 13. 

a. The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and 
they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their 
soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. (Is. 3:9.) 

b. Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that 
stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And 
there stood no man with him while Joseph made himself known unto 
his brethren. (Gen. 45:1.) 

c. And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, 
and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you do not so 
wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this 
folly. (Judges 19:23.) And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, 
and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: 
for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. (Jud. 20:6.) And 
the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it; and the men 
were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly 
in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be 
done. (Gen. 34:7.) 

d. And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my 
father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. 
(Gen. 20:12.) 

e. But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man 
force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall 
die. (Dt. 22:25.) 

f. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he 
was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors 
(3). And it came to pass when Joseph was come unto his brethren, 
that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that 
was on him. (Gen. 37:3, 23.) Have they not sped? have they not divided 
the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers 



colors, a prey of divers colors, of needlework, of divers colors of needle- 
work on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil. 
(Jud. 5:30.) 

g. And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face 
before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of 
Israel, and put dust upon their heads. (Josh. 7:6.) And when they 
lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their 
voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled 
dust upon their heads toward heaven. (Job 2:12.) And there ran a 
man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day 
with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head. (I Sam. 4:12.) 

h. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in 
any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him. (Lev. 
19:17.) He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in 
darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the 
light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that 
hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth 
not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 
(I Jno. 2:9-11.) In this the children of God are manifest, and the 
children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, 
neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye 
heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as 
Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And where- 
fore slew he him? because his own works were evil, and his brother's 
righteous (10-12). We know that we have passed from death unto 
life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother 
abideth in death (14). Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: 
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (I Jno. 
3:10-12, 14, 15.)

27 But Ab'sa-lom pressed him, that he let 
Am'non and all the king's sons go with him. 

28 11 Now Ab'sa-lom had commanded his serv- 
ants, saying, Mark ye now when Am'non's 
♦heart is merry with wine, and when I say 
unto you, Smite Am'non; then kill him, fear 
not : have not I commanded you ? be courageous, 
and be valiant. 

29 And the servants of Ab'sa-lom did unto 
Am'non as Ab'sa-lom had commanded. Then 
all the king's sons arose, and every man gat 
him up upon his °mule, and fled. 

30 II And it came to pass, while they were 
in the way, that tidings came to Da'vid, saying, 
Ab'sa-lom hath slain all the king's sons, and 
there is not one of them left. 

31 Then the king arose, and tare his gar- 
ments, and lay on the earth; and all his serv- 
ants stood by with their clothes rent. 

32 And J5n'a-dab, the son of Shim'e-ah Da'- 
vid's brother, answered and said, Let not my 
lord suppose that they have slain all the young 
men the king's sons; for Am'non only is dead: 
for by the appointment of Ab'sa-lom this hath 
been determined from the day that he forced 
his siiter Ta'mar. 

33 Now therefore J let not my lord the king 
take the thing to his heart, to think that all 
the king's sons are dead: for Am'non only is 
dead. 

. 34 But Ab'sa-lom fled. And the young man 
that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and 
looked, and, behold, there came much people 
by the way of the hill side behind him. 

35 And Jon'a-dab said unto the king, Be- 
hold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, 
so it is. 

36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had 
made an end of speaking, that, behold, the 
king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and 
wept: and the king also and all his servants 
wept very sore. 

37 H But Ab'sa-lom fled, and went to Tal'- 
mai, the son of 'Am-mT'hud, king of Ge'shur. 
And Da'vid mourned for his son every day. 

38 So Ab'sa-lom fled, and went to Ge'shur, 
and was there three years. 

39 And the soul of king Da'vid longed to go 
forth unto Ab'sa-lom: for he was comforted 
concerning Am'non, seeing he was dead.

years, Absalom by Joab is brought into the

1 1 Now Jo'ab the son of Zer-u-I'ah perceived 
that the king's heart was toward Ab'sa-lom. 

2 And Jo'ab sent to Te-ko'ah, and fetched 
thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I

put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not 
thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had 
a long time mourned for the dead: 

3 And come to the king, and speak on this 
manner unto him. So J5'ab c put the words in 
her mouth. 

4 IT And when the woman of Te-k5'ah spake 
to the king, she 6 fell on her face to the ground, 
and did obeisance, and said, Help, king. 

5 And the king said unto her, What aileth 
thee? And she answered, I am indeed a 
widow woman, and mine husband is dead. 

6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they 
two strove together in the field, and there was 
none to part them, but the one smote the other, 
and slew him. 

7 And, behold, c the whole family is risen 
against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver 
him that smote his brother, that we may kill 
him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; 
and we will destroy the heir also: and so they 
shall quench "my coal which is left, and shall 
not leave to my husband neither name nor 
remainder upon the earth. 

8 And the king said unto the woman, Go to 
thine house, and I will give charge concerning 
thee. 

9 And the woman of Te-ko'ah said unto the 
king, My Lord, king, d the iniquity be on me, 
and on my father's house: and the king and 
his throne be guiltless. 

10 And the king said, Whosoever saith ought 
unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not 
touch thee any more. 

11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king 
remember the s Lord thy God, that thou would- 
est not suffer e the revengers of blood to de- 
stroy any more, lest they destroy my son. 
And he said, f As the "Lord liveth, there shall 
not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 

12 Then the woman said, Let thine hand- 
maid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my 
lord the king. And he said, Say on. 

13 And the woman said, Wherefore then 
hast thou thought such a thing against the 
people of God? for the king doth speak this 
thing as one which is faulty, in that the king 
doth not fetch home again his banished. 

14 For we #must needs die, and are as water 
spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered 
up again; neither doth God respect any per- 
son: yet doth he devise means, that his ban- 
ished be not expelled from him. 

15 Now therefore that I am come to speak 
of this thing unto my lord the king, it is be- 
cause the people have made me afraid : and thy 
handmaid said, I will now speak unto the 
king; it may be that the king will perform the 
request of his handmaid. 

16 For the king will hear, to deliver his 
handmaid out of the hand of the man that 
would destroy me and my son together out of 
the inheritance of God. 



i. And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: 
for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray 
thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry. (Jud. 19:6.) 
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he 
went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, 
and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. (Ruth 3:7.) And Nabal's 
heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she 
told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light. (I Sam. 25:36.) 
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his 
face to shine, and, bread which strengtheneth man's heart. (Ps. 104:15.) 

j. Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou 
remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord 
the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his 
heart. (II Sam. 19:19.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. And thou shalt speak untc him, and put words in his mouth: 
and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach 
you what ye shall do. (Ex. 4:15.) 

b. And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place 
toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed him- 
self three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with 
another, until David exceeded. (I Sam. 20:41.) It came even to pass 
on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from 
Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, 



when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. 
(II Sam. 1:2.) 

c. The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he 
meeteth him, he shall slay him. (Num. 35:19.) Then the elders of 
his city shall stand and ' fetch him thence, and deliver him into the 
hands of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not 
pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from 
Israel, that it may go well with thee. (Dt. 19:12, 13.) 

d. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my 
son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. (Gen. 27:13.) And 
fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my Lord, upon me let this iniquity 
be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and 
hear the words of thine handmaid. (I Sam. 25:24.) Then answered all 
the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Mat. 
27:25.) 

e. The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when 
he meeteth him, he shall slay him. (Num. 35:19.) 

f. Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in 
Israel? God forbid: as the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his 
head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. (I 
Sam. 14:45.) Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for 
your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of 
you. (Acts 27:34.) 

g. All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto 
dust. (Job. 34:15.) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but 
after this the judgment. (Heb. 9:27.)

17 Then thine handmaid said, The word of 
my lord the king shall now be comfortable: 
for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king 
to discern good and bad: therefore the 3 Lord 
thy God will be with thee. 

18 Then the king answered and said unto 
the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the 
thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman 
said, Let my lord the king now speak. 

19 And the king said, Is not the hand of 
Jo'ab with thee in all this? And the woman 
answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my 
lord the king, none can turn to the right hand 
or to the left from ought that my lord the 
king hath spoken: for thy servant J5'ab, he 
bade me, and he put all these words in the 
mouth of thine handmaid: 

20 To fetch about this form of speech hath 
thy servant Jo'ab done this thing: and my 
lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an 
angel of God, to know all things that are in 
the earth. 

21 % 4 And the king said unto Jo'ab, Behold 
now, I have done this thing: go therefore, 
bring the young man Ab'sa-lom again. 

22 And Jo'ab fell to the ground on his face, 
and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and 
Jo'ab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I 
have found grace in thy sight, my lord, king, 
in that the king hath fulfilled the request of 
his servant. 

23 So J5'ab arose and went to Ge'shur, and 
brought Ab'sa-lom to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

24 And the king said, Let him turn to his 
own house, and let him not see my face. So 
Ab'sa-lom returned to his own house, and saw 
not the king's face. 

25 If But in all Is'ra-el there was none to be 
so much praised as Ab'sa-lom for his beauty: 
from the sole of his foot even to the crown 
of his head there was no blemish in him. 

26 And when he 5 polled his head, (for it 
was at every year's end that he polled it: be- 
cause the hair was heavy on him, therefore he 
polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at 
two hundred "shekels after the king's weight. 

27 And unto Ab'sa-lom there were born three 
sons, and one daughter, whose name was Ta- 
mar: she was a woman of a fair countenance. 

28 H So Ab'sa-lom dwelt two full years in 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and saw not the king's face. 

29 Therefore T Ab'sa-lom sent for Jo'ab, to 
have sent him to the king; but he would not 
come to him: and when he sent again the 
second time, he would not come. 

30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, 
Jo'ab's field is near mine, and he hath barley 
there; go and 7, set it on fire. And Ab'sa-lom's 
servants set the field on fire. 

31 Then Jo'ab arose, and came to Ab'sa-15m 
unto his house, and said unta him, Wherefore 
have thy servants set my field on fire? 

32 And Ab'sa-lom answered Jo'ab, Behold. 
I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I 
may send thee to_the king, to say, Wherefore 
am I come from Ge'shur? it had been good for 
me to have been there still: now therefore let 
me see the king's face; and if there be %ny 
iniquity in me, let him kill me. 

33 So Jo'ab came to the king, and told him: 
and when he had called for Ab'sa-lom, he came 
to the kins, and bowed himself on his face to

ful growth of his hair, which appears 
to have been regarded by all people 
with great admiration. He would 
eut his hair- once each year, clipping 
about five pounds each time. He had 
a sister, Tamar, who was wronged 
by his half-brother Amuon. Absa- 
lom vowed vengeance against his half- 
brother,- which he had an opportunity 
of executing in about two years at 
a sheep-shearing festival. He was 
compelled to flee from the king's 
palace and for three years remained 
with his grandfather. King Talmai

that he will not inherit the throne,

•'kissed Ab'sa-lom. 

CHAPTER 15. 

1 Absalom stealeth the hearts of Israel. 7 He 
obtdineth leave to go to Hebron. 10 He 
maketh there a great conspiracy. 13 David 
fleeth from Jerusalem. 24 Zadok and Abia- 
thar are sent back with the ark. 31 David 
curseth Ahithophel's counsel. 32 Hushai is 
sent back with instructions. 

1 And it 'came to pass after this, that Ab'- 
sa-15m prepared him chariots and horses, and 
fifty men to run before him. 

2 And Ab'sa-lom "rose up early, and stood 
beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that 
when any man that had a controversy came to 
the king for judgment, then Ab'sa-lom called 
unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? 
And he said, Thy servant is of one of the 
tribes of Is'ra-el. 

3 And Ab'sa-lom said unto him, See, 6 thy 
matters are good and right; but there is no 
man ^deputed of the king to hear thee. 

4 Ab'sa-lom said moreover, Oh that I were 
made judge in the land, that every man which 
hath any suit or cause might come unto me, 
and I would do him justice! 

5 And it was so, that when any man came 
nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth 
his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 

6 And on this manner did Ab'sa-lom to all 
Is'ra-el that came to the king for judgment: 
so Ab'sa-lom stole the hearts of the men of 
Is'ra-el. 

7 % And it came to pass after 4 forty years, 
that Ab'sa-lom said unto the king, I pray thee, 
let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed 
unto the 3 Lord, in He'bron. 

8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I 
abode at Ge'shur in Syr'i-a, saying, If the 3 Lord 
shall bring me again indeed to Je-ru'sa-lem, 
then I will serve the 3 Lord. 

9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. 
So he arose, and went to He'bron. 

10 11 But Ab'sa-lom sent spies throughout all 
the tribes of Is'ra-el, saying, As soon as ye 
hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall 
say, Ab'sa-lom reigneth in He'bron. 

11 And with Ab'sa-lom went two hundred 
men out of Je-ru'sa-lem, that were called; and 
they went in their simplicity, and they knew 
not any thing. 

12 And Ab'sa-lom sent for A-hlth'o-phel the 
Gi'lo-mte, David's counsellor, from his city, 
even from Gl'loh, while he offered sacrifices. 
And the conspiracy was strong; for the people 
increased continually with Ab'sa-lom. 

13 5 H And there came a messenger to Da'vid, 
saying, The hearts of the men of Is'ra-el are 
after Ab'sa-lom. 

14 And Da'vid said unto all his servants 
that were with him at Je-ru'sa-lem, "Arise, and 
let us flee; for we shall not else escape from 
Ab'sa-lom: make speed to depart, lest he over- 
take us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and 
smite the city with the edge of the sword. 

15 And the king's servants said unto the 
king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do 
whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint. 

16 And c the king went forth, and all his 
household after him. And the king left ten

talked with him. (Gen. 45:15.) But when he was yet a great way 
off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on 
his neck, and kissed him. (Luke 15:20.)

•women, which were concubines, to keep the 
house. 

17 And the king went forth, and all the 
people after him, and tarried in a place that 
was far off. 

18 And all his servants passed on beside 
him; and all the Cher'eth-ites, and all the Pe'- 
leth-ites, and all the Git'tites, six hundred men 
which came after him from Gath, passed on 
before the king. 

19 H Then said the king to It'ta-i the Git'- 
tite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? re- 
turn to thy place, and abide with the king: for 
thou art a stranger, and also an exile. 

20 Whereas thou earnest but yesterday, 
should I this day make thee go up and down 
with us? seeing I go d whither I may, return 
thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and 
truth be with thee. 

21 And It'ta-i answered the king, and said, 
As the 3 Lord c liveth, and as my lord the king 
liveth, surely in what place my lord the king 
shall be, whether in death or life, even there 
also will thy servant be. 

22 And Da'vid said to It'ta-i, Go and pass 
over. And It'ta-i the Git'tite passed over, and 
all his men, and all the little ones that were 
with him. 

23 And all the country wept with a loud 
voice, and all the people passed over: the king 
also himself passed over the brook Kid'ron, and 
all the people passed over, toward the way 
of the wilderness. 

24 % And lo Za'dok also, and all the Le'vites 
were with him, bearing the ark of the cov- 
enant of God: and they set down the ark of 
God; and A-bi'a-thar went up, until all the 
people had done passing out of the city. 

25 And the king said unto Za'dok, Carry 
back the ark of God into the city: if I shall 
find favour in the eyes of the 3 Lord, he ''will 
bring me again, and shew me both it, and his 
habitation: 

26 But if he thus say, I have no delight ^in 
thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as 
seemeth good unto him. 

27 The king said also unto Za'dok the priest, 
Art not thou a seer? return into the city in 
peace, and your two sons with you, A-him'a-az 
thy son, and Jon'a-than the son of A-bi'a-thar. 

28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wil- 
derness, until there come word from you to 
certify me. 

29 Za'dok therefore and A-bi'a-thar carried 
the ark of God again to Je-ru'sa-lem : and they 
tarried there. 

30 H And Da'vid went up by the ascent of 
mount 61'i-vet, and wept as ne went up, and 
had his head covered, and he went barefoot: 
and all the people that was with him covered 
every man his head, and they went up, weep- 
ing as they went up. 

31 11 'And one told Da'vid, saying, A-hith'o- 
phel is among the conspirators with Ab'sa-lom. 
And Da'vid said, O 3 Lord, I pray thee, turn 
the counsel of A-hith'o-phel into foolishness. 

32 HAnd it came to pass, that when Da'vid 
was come to the top s of the mount, where he

worshipped °God, behold, Hu'shai the Ar'chite 
came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth 
upon his head: 

33 Unto whom Da'vid said, If thou passest 
on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto 
me: 

34 But if thou return to the city, and say 
unto Ab-sa'lom, I will be thy servant, king; 
as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, 
so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest 
thou for me defeat the counsel of A-hith'o- 
phel. 

35 And hast thou not there with thee Za'- 
dok and A-bi'a-thar the priests? therefore it 
shall be, that what thing soever thou snalt 
hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it 
to Za'dok and A-bi'a-thar the priests. 

36 Behold, they have there with them their 
two sons, A-him'a-az Za'dok's son, and Jon'a- 
than A-bi'a-thar's son; and by them ye shall 
send unto me every thing that ye can hear. 

37 So Hu'shai ''Da'vid's friend came into the 
city, and Ab'sa-lom came into Je-ru'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 Ziba obtaineth his master's inheritance. 5 
Shimei curseth David. 5 At Bahurim Shim- 
ei curseth David. 9 David ivith patience 
abstaineth from revenge. 15 Hushai insin- 
uateth himself into Absalom's counsel. 20 
Ahithophel' s counsel. 

1 And "when Da'vid was a little past the top 
of the hill, behold, Zi'ba the servant of Me- 
phib'o-sheth met him, with a couple of asses 
saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves 
of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, 
and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle 
of wine. 

2 And the king said unto Zi'ba, What mean- 
est thou by these? And Zi'ba said, The asses 
be for the king's household to ride on; and the 
bread and summer fruit for the young men to 
eat; and the wine, that a such as be faint in 
the wilderness may drink. 

3 And the king said, And where is thy 
master's son? And Zi'ba said unto the king, 
Behold, he abideth at Je-ru'sa-lem : for he said, 
To day shall the house of Is'ra-el restore me 
the kingdom of my father. 

4 Then said the king to Zi'ba, Behold, thine 
are all that pertained unto Me-phib'o-sheth. 
And Zi'ba said, I humbly beseech thee that I 
may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king. 

5 f 3 And when king Da'vid came to Ba-hii'- 
rim, behold, thence came out a man of the 
family of the house of Saul, whose name was 
6 Shim'e-i, the son of Ge'ra: he came forth, and 
cursed still as he came. 

6 And he cast stones at Da'vid, and at all 
the servants of king Da'vid: and all the peo- 
ple and all the mighty men were on his right 
hand and on his left. 

7 And thus said Shim'e-i when he cursed, 
Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou 
man of Be'li-al: 

8 The 'Lord hath c returned upon thee all 
the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead 
thou hast reigned; and the Lord hath deliv- 



d. Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose 
and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. 
And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he 
forbare to go forth. (I Sam. 23:13.) 

e. And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return 
from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where 
thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy 
God my God. (Ruth 1:16.) A friend loveth at all times, and a brother 
is born for adversity. (Prov. 17:17.) 

f. O send out thy light and thy truth:- let them lead me; let them 
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. (Ps. 43:3.) 

g. If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, 
and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. (Num. 14:8.) 
He brought me forth also into a large place: be delivered me, because 
he delighted in me. (II Sam. 22:20.) Thou shalt no more be termed 
Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but 
thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord 
delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. (Is. 62:4.) 

h. And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? 



why wentest thou not with thy friend? (II Sam. 16:17.) A friend loveth 
at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (Prov. 17:17.) 
Chapter 16. 

a. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine 
unto those that be of heavy hearts. (Prov. 31:6.) And wine that maketh 
glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread 
which strengtheneth man's heart. (Ps. 104:15.) Drink no longer water, 
but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmi- 
ties. (I Tim. 5:23.) 

b. And, behold, thou hast with thee Shemei the son of Gera, a 
Benjamite of Bahurim. which cursed me with a grievous curse in the 
day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jor- 
dan, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to 
death with the sword. Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou 
art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; 
but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. (I 
Ks. 2:8, 9.)

ered the kingdom into the hand of Ab'sa-lom 
thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy 
mischief, because thou art a bloody man. 

9 *~ Then said A-bish'a-i the son of Zer-u- 
i'ah unto the king, Why should this dead dog 
curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray 
thee, and take off his head. 

10 And the king said, What have I to do 
with you, ye sons of Zer-u-i'ah? so let him 
curse, because the "Lord hath said *unto him, 
Curse Da'vid. Who shall then say, Wherefore 
hast thou done so? 

11 And Da'vid said to A-bish'a-i, and to all 
his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth 
of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more 
now may this Ben'ja-mite do it? let him alone, 
and let him curse; for the Lord hath bidden 
him. 

12 It may be that the Lord will look on 
mine affliction, and that the Lord will requite 
me good for his cursing this day. 

13 And as Da vid and his men went by the 
way. Shime-i went along on the hill's side 
over against him, and cursed as he went, and 
threw stones at him, and cast dust. 

14 And the king, and all the people that 
were with him, came weaiy, and refreshed 
themselves there. 

15 r : And Ab'sa-lom, and all the people the 
men of Is'ra-el, came to Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
A-hith'o-phel with him. 

16 And it came to pass, when Hu'shai the 
Ar'chite, David's friend, was come unto Ab'- 
sa-lom, that Hu'shai said unto Ab'sa-lom, God 
save the king, God save the king. 

17 And Ab'sa-lom said to Hu'shai, Is this 
thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou 
not with thy friend? 

.18 And Hu'shai said unto Ab'sa-lom, Xay; 
but whom the 'Lord, and this people, and all 
the men of Is'ra-el, choose, his will I be, and 
with him will I abide. 

19 And again, whom should I serve? should 
I not serve in the presence of his son? as I 
have served in thy father's presence, so will I 
be in thy presence. 

20 *~°Then said Ab'sa-lom to A-hith'o-phel, 
Give ^counsel among you what we shall do. 

21 And A-hith'o-phel said unto Ab'sa-lom, 
Go in unto thy father's ^concubines, which he 
hath left to keep the house; and all Is'ra-el 
shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy 
father: then shall the ^hands of all that are 
with thee be strong. 

22 So they spread Ab'sa-lom a tent upon the 
T top of the house; and Ab'sa-lom went in unto 
his father's concubines ''in the sight of s all Is'- 
ra-el. 

23 And the counsel of A-hith'o-phel, which 
he counselled in those days, was as if a man 
had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all 
the counsel of A-hith'o-phel both with Da'vid 
and with Ab'sa-lom.

NOTE. — Absalom having followed 
the first advice of Ahithophel. returns 
amidst his shame in ch. 17. to advise 
with his counsellors, whom he has 
called around him. Kitto says. "This 
is the first cabinet council to which 
history admits us." In this ch. the 
vicious Ahithophel advises Absalom 
to continue his lewd pleasures at Je- 
rusalem, while he at the head of a 
strong force pursues David. But 
Hushai appears and succeeds in de- 
feating the unholy advice. 



1. An indication that the follow- 
ers of Absalom were rapidly gaining 
strength.

CHAPTER 17. 
1 AhithopheVs counsel is overthrov:n by Hu- 
shai' s, according to God's appointment. 15 
Secret intelligence is sent unto David. 23 
Ahithophel hangeth himself. 25 Araasa is 
made captain. 27 David at Mahanaim is 
furnished with provision. 

1 Moreover A-hith'o-phel said unto Ab'sa- 
lom, Let me now choose out '"twelve thousand 
men, and I will arise and pursue after Da'vid 
this night: 

2 And I will come upon him while he is 
weaiy and weak handed, and will make him 
afraid: and all the people that are with him 
shall flee; and I will a smite the king only: 

3 And I will bring back all the people unto 
thee: the man Vhom thou seekest is as if all 
returned: so all the people shall be in & peace. 

4 And the saying pleased Ab'sa-lom well, 
and all the elders of Is'ra-el. 

5 Then said Ab'sa-lom, Call now Hu'shai the 
Ar'chite also, and let us hear likewise what he 
saith. 

6 And when Hu'shai was come to Ab'sa-lom, 
Ab'sa*-16m spake unto him, saying, A-hith'o- 
phel hath spoken after this manner: shall 
we do after his saying? if not; speak thou. 

7 And Hu'shai said unto Ab'sa-15m, The 
counsel that A-hith'o-phel hath given is not 
good at this time. 

8 For, said Hu'shai, thou knowest thy father 
and his men, that they be mighty men, and 
they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed 
of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a 
man of war, and will not lodge with the 
people. 

9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in 
some other place: and it will come to pass, 
when some of them be overthrown at the first, 
that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a 
slaughter among the people that follow Ab'- 
sa-15m. 

10 And he also that is valiant, whose heart 
is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: 
for all Is'ra-el knoweth that thy father is a 
mighty man, and they which be with him are 
valiant men. 

11 Therefore I counsel that all is'ra-el be 
generally gathered unto thee from Dan even 
to Be'er-sheha, as the sand °that is by the sea 
for multitude; and that thou go to battle in 
thine own person. 

12 So shall we come upon him in some place 
where he shall be found, and we will light 
upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: 
and of him and of all the men that are with 
him there shall not be left so much as one. 

13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, 
then shall all Is'ra-el bring ropes to that city, 
and we will draw it into the river, until there 
be not one small stone found there. 

14 And Ab'sa-lom and all the men of is'ra-el 
said, The counsel of Hu'shai the Ar'chite is 



them: and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the 
killing of his brethren. (Jud. 9:24.) 

d. Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to de- 
stroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy 
it. (II Ks. 15:25.) Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not 
evil and good? (Lam. 3:38.) 

e.- The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him 
with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his 
day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent 
their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of 
upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and 
their bows shall be broken. (Ps. 37:12-15.) 

f. And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took 
the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and 
put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they 
were shut up unto the dav of their death, living in widowhood. (II 
Sam. 20:3.) 

herefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: 
for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed 
me king over them. (II Sam. 2:7. t And it shall come to pass, that as 
•re a curse among the' heathen, O house of Judah, and house of 
Israel: so will I save you. and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let 
your hands be strong. (Zech. 8:13.) 



h. Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee 
out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, 
and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives 
in the sight of this sun. (n Sam. 12:11.) The show of their countenance 
doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they 
hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto 
themselves. (Is. 3:9.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that 
is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts, smite the shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little 
ones. (Zech. 13:7.) But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said 
among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us 
seize on his inheritance. (Mat. 21:38.) 

b. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people 
slightly, saying. Peace, peace: when there is no peace. (Jer. 6:14.) 
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying. Peace; and 
there was no peace: and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it 
with untempered mortar. (Ezek. 13:10.) 

c. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will 
multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which 
is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. 
(Gen. 22:17.)

better than the counsel of A-hith'o-phel. For 
the 3 Lord ''had appointed to defeat the good 
counsel of A-hith'o-phel, to the intent that the 
3 Lord might bring evil upon Ab'sa-lom. 

15 II 4 Then said Hu'shai unto Za'dok and to 
A-bi'a-thar the priests, Thus and thus did 
A-hith'o-phel counsel Ab'sa-lom and the elders 
of Is'ra-el; and thus and thus have I coun- 
selled. 

16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell Da'- 
vid, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains 
of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest 
the king be swallowed up, and all the people 
that are with him. 

17 Now Jon'a-than and A-him'a-az stayed 
by En-ro'gel; for they might not be seen to 
come into the city: and a 5 wench went and 
told them; and they went and told king Da'vid. 

18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told 
Ab'sa-lom: but they went both of them away 
quickly, and came to a man's house in Ba-hu'- 
rim, which had a well in his court; whither 
they went down. 

19 And the woman took and spread a cover- 
ing over the well's mouth, and spread ground 
corn thereon; and the thing was not known. 

20 And when Ab'sa-lom's servants came to 
the woman to the house, they said, Where is 
A-him'a-az and Jon'a-than? And the woman 
said unto them, They be gone over the brook 
of water. And when they had sought and could 
not find them, they returned to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

21 And it came to pass, after they were de- 
parted, that they came up out of the well, and 
went and told king Da'vid, and said unto Da'- 
vid, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: 
for thus hath A-hith'o-phel "counselled against 
you. 

22 Then Da'vid arose, and all the people 
that were with him, and they passed over 
Jor'dan : by the morning light there lacked not 
one of them that was not gone over Jor'dan. 

23 1f And when A-hith'o-phel saw that his 
counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, 
and arose, and gat him home to his house, to 
his city, and put his household in order, and 
6r hanged himself, and died, and was buried in 
the sepulchre of his father. 

_ 24 7 Then Da'vid came to Ma-ha-na'im. And 
Ab'sa-lom passed over Mor'dan, he and all the 
men of Is'ra-el with him. 

25 IT And Ab'sa-lom made Am'a-sa captain 
of the host instead of Jo'ab: which Am'a-sa 
was a man's son, whose name was Ith'ra an 
Is'ra-el-ite, that went in to Ab'i-gail the daugh- 
ter of Na'hash, sister to Zer-u-i'ah Jo'ab's 
mother. 

26 So Is'ra-el and Ab'sa-lom pitched in the 
land of Gil'e-ad. 

27 f And it came to pass, when Da'vid was 
come to Ma-ha-na'im, that Sho'bi" the son of 
Na'hash of Rab'bah of the children of Am'- 
mon, and Ma'chir the son of Am'mi-el of Lo-

29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and 
"cheese of kine, for Da'vid, and for the people 
that were with him, »to eat : for they said, The 
people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in 
the wilderness. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 David viewing the armies in their march 
giveth them charge of Absalom. 6 The Is- 
raelites are sore smitten in the wood of 
Ephraim. 9 Absalom, hanging in an oak, is 
slain by Joab. 18 Absalom's place. 19 
Ahimaaz and Cushi bring tidings to David. 
33 David mourneth for Absalom. 

1 And Da'vid numbered the people that were 
with him, and set captains of thousands and 
captains of hundreds over them. 

2 And Da'vid sent forth a third part of the 
people under the hand of Jo'ab, and a third 
part under the hand of A-bish'a-i the son of 
Zer-u-i'ah, J5'ab's brother, and a third part 
under the hand of It'ta-i the Git'tite. And the 
king said unto the people, I will surely go forth 
with you myself also. 

3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not 
go forth: for if we flee away, they will not 
care for us; neither if half of us die, will they 
care for us: but now thou art worth ten thou- 
sand of us : therefore now it is better that thou 
'succour us out of the city. 

4 And the king said unto them, What seem- 
eth you best I will do. And the king stood by 
the gate side, and all the people came out by 
hundreds and by thousands. 

5 And the king commanded Jo'ab and 
A-bish'a-I and It'ta-i, saying, Deal gently for 
my sake with the young man, even with Ab'- 
sa-lom. And all the people heard when the 
king gave all the captains charge concerning 
Ab'sa-lom. 

6 IF So the people went out into the field 
against Is'ra-el: and the battle was in the wood 
°of E'phra-im; 

7 Where the people of Is'ra-el were slain 
before the servants of Da'vid, and there was 
there a great slaughter that day of twenty 
thousand men. 

8 For the battle was there scattered over the 
face of all the country: and the wood de- 
voured more people that day than the sword 
devoured. 

9 II And Ab'sa-lom met the servants of Da'- 
vid. And Ab'sa-lom rode upon a mule, and 
the mule went under the thick boughs of a 
great oak, and *his head caught hold of the 
oak, and he was taken up between the heaven 



d. And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators 
with Absalom. And David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel 
of Ahithophel into foolishness (31). But if thou return to the city, 
and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been 
thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then 
mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. (II Sam. 15:31, 34.) 

e. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruc- 
tion: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but 
I will trust in thee. (Ps. 55:23.) Is not destruction to the wicked? 
and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? (Job 31:3.) And 
he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went 
and hanged himself. (Mat. 27:5.) 

f. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall 
be watered also himself. (Prov. 11:25.) Blessed are the merciful: for 
they shall obtain mercy. (Mat. 5:7.) 

g. taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that 
trusteth in him (8). O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no 
want to them that fear him (9). The young lions do lack, and suffer 
hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. 
(Ps. 34:8-10.) He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous 
giveth and spareth not. (Prov. 21:26.) Cast thy bread upon the waters: 
for thou shalt find it after many days. (Ecc. 11:1.) Is it not to deal 
thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast 
out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him: 
and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? (7). Then shall 



thy light break forth as the morning, and thine help shall spring forth 
speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the 
Lord shall be thy reward. (Is. 58:7, 8.) Give to every man that asketh 
of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them like- 
wise (30, 31). And if ye lent to them of whom ye hope to receive, what 
thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much 
again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for 
nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall ' be the 
children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the 
evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 
6:30, 31, 34-36.) Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hos- 
pitality. (Rom. 12:13.) 
Chapter 18. 

a. So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead. (II Sam. 
17:26.) And Joshua answered them. If thou be a great people, then 
get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the 
land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too 
narrow for thee (15). But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a 
wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: 
for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, 
and though they be strong. (Josh. 17:15, 18.) 

b. And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end 
that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he 
polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after 
the king's weight. (II Sam. 14:26.)

and the earth; and the mule that was under 
him went away. 

10 And a certain man saw it, and told Jo'ab, 
and said, Behold, I saw Ab'sa-lom hanged in 
an oak. 

11 And J5 ab said unto the man that told 
him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why 
didst thou not smite him there to the ground? 
and I would have given thee ten shekels of sil- 
ver, and a girdle. 

12 And the man said unto Jo'ab, Though I 
should receive a thousand shekels of silver in 
mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine 
nand against the king's son : for in our hearing 
the king charged thee and A-bisha-i and it'* 
ta-i, saying. Beware that none touch the young 
man Ab'sa-lom. 

13 Otherwise I should have wrought false- 
hood against mine own life: for there is no 
matter hid from the king, and thou thyself 
wouldest have set thyself against me. 

14 Then said Jo'ab, I may not s taKcy thus 
with thee. And he took three darts in his 
hand, and thrust them through the heart of 
Ab'sa-lom, while he was yet alive in the midst 
of the oak. 

15 And ten young men that bare Jo'ab's 
armour compassed about and smote Ab'sa-lom, 
and slew him. 

16 And Jo'ab blew the trumpet, and the peo- 
ple returned from pursuing after Is'ra-el: for 
Jo'ab held back the people. 

IT And they took Ab'sa-lom, and cast him 
into a great pit in the wood, and "laid a very 
great heap of stones upon him: and all Is'ra-el 
fled every one to his tent. 

18 f Xow Ab'sa-lom in his lifetime had taken 
and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in 
the king's dale: for he said, °T have no son to 
keep my name in remembrance: and he called 
the F pillar after his own name : and it is called 
unto this day, Ab'sa-lom's place. 

19 *~ Then said A-him'a-az the son of Za'dSk, 
Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, 
how that the 3 Lord hath avenged him of his 
enemies. 

20 And Jo'ab said unto him. Thou shalt 
not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear 
tidings another day: but this day thou shalt 
bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead. 

21 Then said Jo'ab to Cu'shi, Go tell the 
king what thou hast seen. And Cu'shi bowed 
himself unto Jo'ab, and ran. 

22 Then said A-him'a-az the son of Za'dok 
yet again to Jo'ab, But hovrsoever, let me, I 
pray thee, also run after Cu'shi. And Jo'ab 
said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing 
that thou hast no tidings ^ready? 

23 But howsoever, said he, let me run. And 
he said unto him, Run. Then A-him'a-az ran 
by the way of the plain, and overran Cu'shi. 

24 And Da'vid sat between the two gates: 
and Hhe watchman went up to the roof over 
the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, 
and looked, and behold a man running alone. 



2. No time to losei Absalom had 
forfeited bis life in each of four 
crimes: first, the murder of his 
brother Amnon: second, the rebel- 
lion against his father (Dt. 21:1S-21 1 : 
third, inciting insurrection in the 
state: fourth, having lain "with his 
father's concubines. (Lev. 1S:29.)

Ch. 19. B. C. 1023. 

NOTE. — When Joab returned, being 
the stern warrior he was. he became 
indignant at David's grief. He was 
incapable of appreciating the finer 
emotions of D.'s nature, hence with 
him the only object was the crush- 
ing of the rebellion.

25 And the watchman cried, and told the 
king. And the king said, If he be alore, there 
is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, 
and drew near. 

26 And the watchman saw another man run- 
ning : and the watchman called unto the porter, 
and said, Behold another man running alone. 
And the king said, He also bringeth tidings. 

27 And the watchman said, Me thinketh 
the running of the foremost is like the run- 
ning of A-him'a-az the son of Za'dok And 
the king said. He is a good man, and cometh 
with good tidings. 

28 And A-him'a-az called, and said unto the 
king, All is well. And he fell down to the 

: earth upon his face before the king, and said, 
Blessed be the : Lord thy God, which hath de- 

; livered up the men that lifted up their hand 
against my lord the king. 

29 And the king said, Is the young man 
Ab'sa-lom safe? And A-him'a-az answered, 
When Jo ab sent the king's servant, and me 
thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew 
not what it was. 

30 And the king said unto him, Turn aside, 
and stand here. And he turned aside, and 
stood still. 

31 And, behold, Cu'shi came; and Cu'shi 
said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the T-ord 
-"hath avenged thee this day of all them that 
rose up against thee. 

82 And the king said unto Cu'shi, Is the 
young man Ab'sa-15m safe? And Cu'shi an- 
swered, The enemies of my lord the king, and 
all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be 
as that young man is. 

33 *" And the king was much moved, and 
went up to the chamber over the gate, and 
wept: and as he went, thus he said, *0 my 
son Ab'sa-lom, my son, my son Ab'sa-lom ! 
would God I had died for thee, O Ab'sa-lom, 
my son, my son! 

CHAPTER 19. 
1 Joab causeth the king to cease his mourning. 
9 Tlie Israelites are earnest to bring the 
king back. 18 Shimei is pardoned. 21 Me- 
phibosheih excused. 32 BarziVai dismissed, 
Chimham his son is taken into the king's 
family. 

1 And nt was told Jo'ab, Behold, the king 
weepeth and moumeth for Ab'sa-lom. 

2 And the "victory that day was turned 
into mourning unto all the people: for the 
people heard say that day how the king was 
grieved for his son. 

3 And the people gat them by stealth that 
day into the city, as people being ashamed 
steal away when they flee in battle. 

4 But the king ^covered his face, and the 
king cried with a loud voice, O my son Ab'sa- 
lom, O Ab'sa-lom, my son, my son! 

5 And Jo'ab came into the house to the king, 
and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces 
of all thy servants, which this day have saved

So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the 
name of that place was called The valley of Aehor, unto this day.

an ass, drawn and cast forth bevond the gates of Jerusalem. (Jer.

g. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon 
me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. (Ps. 27:2.) He hath 



delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for 
there were many with me. (Ps. 55:18.)

because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the 
Hittite to be thy wife, (n Sam. 12:10.) The proverbs of Solomon. 
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of

bitterness to her that bare him. (Prov. 17:25.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy peo- 
ple. Selah. (Ps. 3:8.) It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh 
my way perfect (32). He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of 
steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield of 
thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentle- 
ness hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, 
that mv feet did not slip. (Ps. 1S:32, 34-36.) 

b. And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came

head. (I Sam. 4:12.) 'And David went up by the ascent of mount 
Olivet, and wept as he went up and had his head covered, and he went 
barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his 
head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. (II Sam. 15:30.)

thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy 
daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and 
the lives of thy concubines; 

6 In that thou lovest thine enemies, and 
hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this 
day, that thou regardest neither princes nor 
servants: for this day I perceive, that if 3 Ab'- 
sa-16m had iived, and all we had died this day, 
then it had pleased thee well. 

7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak 
comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by 
the "Lord, if thou go not forth, there will not 
tarry one with thee this night: and that will 
be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell 
thee from thy youth until now. 

8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. 
And they told unto all the people, saying, Be- 
hold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all 
the people came before the king: for c Is'ra-el 
had fled every man to his tent. 

9 H*And all the people were at strife 
throughout all the tribes of Is'ra-el, saying, 
The king ''saved us out of the hand of our 
enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand 
of the Phi-lls'tmes; and now he is fled out of 
the land for Ab'sa-lom. 

10 And Ab'sa-lom, whom we anointed over 
us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why 
speak ye not a word of bringing the king 
back? 

11 % And king Da'vid sent to Za'dok and to 
A-bi'a-thar the priests, saying, Speak unto the 
elders of Ju'dah, saying, Why are ye the last 
to bring the king back to his house? seeing 
the speech of all Is'ra-el is come to the king, 
even to his house. 

12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and 
my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to 
bring back the king? 

13 And say ye to Am'a-sa, Art thou not of 
my bone, and of my flesh? e God do so to me, 
and more also, if thou be not captain of the 
host before me continually in the room of 
Jo'ab. 

14 And he bowed the heart of all the men 
of Ju'dah, even as the heart of one man; so 
that they sent this word unto the king, Return 
thou, and all thy servants. 

15 5 So the king returned, and came to Jor'- 
dan. And Ju'dah came to Gil'gal, to go to 
meet the king, to conduct the king over Jor'- 
dan. 

16 f And Shim'e-i the son of Ge'ra, a Ben'- 
ja-mite, which was Ba-hu'rim, hasted and 
came down with the men of Ju'dah to meet 
king Da'vid. 

17 And there were a thousand men of Ben'- 
ja-min with him, and Zi'ba the servant of the 
house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his 
twenty servants with him; and they went 
over Jor'dan before the king. 

18 And there went over a ferry hoat to 
carry over the king's household, and to do 
what he thought good. And Shim'e-i the son

of Ge'ra fell down before the king, as he was 
come over Jor'dan; 

19 And said unto the king, fLet not my lord 
impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou re- 
member -"that which thy servant did perversely 
the day that my lord the king went out of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, that the king should take it to 
his heart. 
_ 20 For thy servant doth know that I have 
sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first 
this day of all the house of Jo'§eph to go down 
to meet my lord the king. 

21 But A-bish'a-i the son of Zer-u-I'ah an- 
swered and said, Shall not Shim'e-i be put to 
death for this, because he cursed the "Lord's 
anointed? 

22 And Da'vid said, What have I to do 
with you, ye sons of Zer-u-i'ah, that ye should 
this day be adversaries unto me? shall there 
any man be put to death this day in Is'ra-el? 
for do not I know that I am this day king over 
Is'ra-el? 

23 Therefore *the king said unto Shim'e-i, 
Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto 
him. 

24 H "And Me-phib'o-sheth the son of Saul 
came down to meet the king, and had neither 
dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor 
washed his clothes, from the day the king de- 
parted until the day he came again in peace. 

25 And it came to pass, when he was come 
to Je'ru/sa-lem to meet the king, that the king 
said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou 
with me, Me-phib'o-sheth? 

26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my 
servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I 
will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, 
and go to the king; because thy servant is 
lame. 

27 And he hath slandered thy servant unto 
'my lord the king; but my lord the king is as 
an angel of God : do therefore what is good in 
thine eyes. 

28 For all of my father's house were but 
dead men before my lord the king: yet didst 
thou set thy servant among them that did eat 
at thine own table. What right therefore have 
I yet to cry any more unto the king? 

29 And the king said unto him, Why speak- 
est thou any more of thy matters? I have 
said, J'Thou and Zi'ba divide the land. 

30 And Me-phib'o-sheth said unto the king, 
Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord 
the king is come again in peace unto his own 
house. 

31 IFAnd Bar-ziTla-I the GiTe-ad-ite came 
down from Ro-ge'lim, and went over Jor'dan 
with the king, to conduct him over Jor'dan. 

32 Now Bar-zil'la-i was a very aged man, 
even fourscore years old: and he had provided 
the king of sustenance while he lay at Ma- 
ha-na'im; for he was a very great man. 

33 And the king said unto Bar-zil'la-i, Come 



c. So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, 
the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? 
neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: 
now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their 
tents. (I Ks. 12:16.) Anfl Judah was put to the worse before Israel; 
and they fled every man to their tents. (II Ks. 14:12.) 

d. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a 
stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword 
in the hand of. David. (I Sam. 17:50.) Therefore Saul removed him 
from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out 
and came in before the people. (I Sam. 18:13.) 

e. Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the 
Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and 
me. (Ruth 1:17.) Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, 
So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the 
life of one of them by tomorrow about this time. (I Ks. 19:2.) 

f. Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: 
let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house 
of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more. 
(I Sam. 22:15.) And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of 
king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his 
right hand and on his left. And thus said Shimei when he cursed. 
Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial. The 
Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in 



whose stead thou hast reigned; and the Lord hath delivered the king- 
dom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in 
thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. (II Sam. 16:6-8.) 

g. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso con- 
fesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Prov. 28:13.) Agree 
with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; 
lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge 
deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Mat. 5:25.) 

h. And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a 
Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the 
day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at 
Jordan, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to 
death with the sword. Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou 
art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but 
his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. (I Ks. 2:8, 9.) 

i. And, behold, the whole family has risen against thine handmaid, 
and they said. Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill 
him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy 
the heir also; and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall 
not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth. 
(II Sam. 14:7.) 

j. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the 
wicked? Selah. (Ps. 82:2.) The king by judgment establisheth the 
land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.' (Prov. 29:4.)

thou over with me, and I will feed thee with 
me in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

34 And Bar-zil'la-i said unto the king, How 
*'long have I to live, that I should go up with 
the king unto Je-ru'sa-lem? 

35 I am this day fourscore years old: and 
can I discern between good and evil? can thy 
servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can 
I hear any more the 'voice of singing men and 
singing women? wherefore then should thy 
servant be yet a burden unto my lord the 
king? 

36 Thy servant will go a little way over 
Jor'dan with the king: and why should the 
king recompense it me with such a reward? 

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back 
again, that I may die in mine own city, and 
be buried by the grave of my father and of 
my mother. But behold thy servant Chim'- 
ham; let him go over with my lord the king; 
and do to him what shall seem good unto thee. 

38 And the king answered, Chim'ham shall 
go over with me, and I will do to him that 
which shall seem good unto thee: and whatso- 
ever thou shalt require of me, that will I do 
for thee. 

39 And all the people went over Jor'dan. 
And when the king was come over, the king 
kissed Bar-zil'la-i, and "'blessed him; and he 
returned unto his own place. 

40 s Then the king went on to Gil'gal, and 
Chim'ham went on with him: and all the peo- 
ple of Ju'dah conducted the king, and also half 
the people of Is'ra-el. 

41 If And, behold, all the men of Is'ra-el 
came to the king, and said unto the king, Why 
have our brethren the men of Ju'dah stolen 
thee away, and have brought the king, and his 
household, and all Da'vid's men with him, over 
Jor'dan? 

42 And all the men of Ju'dah answered the 
men of Is'ra-el, Because the king is near of 
kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this 
matter? have we eaten at all of the king's 
cost? or hath he given its any gift? 

43 And the men of Is'ra-el answered the 
men of Ju'dah, and said, We have ten "parts 
in the king, and we have also more right in 
Da'vid than ye: why then did ye despise us, 
that our advice should not be first had in 
bringing back our king? And the words of 
the men of Ju'dah were fiercer than the words 
of the men of Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER 20. 
1 Sheba maketh a party in Israel. 3 David's 
ten concubines are shut up in perpetual 
prison. 4 Amasa is slain by Joab. 14 Joab 
pursueth Sheba unto Abel. 16 A wise ivom- 
an saveth the city by Sheba's head. 23 Da-

1 And there happened to be there a man of 
'Be'li-al, a whose name was She'ba, the son of 
Bich'rT, a Ben'ja-mite: and he blew a trumpet,

1. Man of worthlessness or wick- 
edness. 



2. Joab had been suspended as 
chief commander and superseded by 
another, therefore it was necessary 
to send others to look after the mat- 
ter. 



and said, We have no part in Da'vid, neither 
have we inheritance in the son of Jes'se: 
6 every man to his tents, O Is'ra-el. 

2 So c every man of Is'ra-el went up from 
after Da'vid, and followed She'ba the son of 
Bich'ri : but the men of Ju'dah clave unto their 
king, from Jor'dan even to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3 11 And Da'vid came to his house at Je-ru'- 
sa-lem; and the king took the ten women his 
^concubines, whom he had left to keep the 
house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but 
went not in unto them. So they were shut up 
unto the day of their death, living in widow- 
hood. 

4 If Then said the king to Am'a-sa, Assem- 
ble me the men of Ju'dah within three days, 
and be thou here present. 

5 So Am'a-sa went to assemble the men of 
Ju'dah: but he tarried longer than the set 
time which he had appointed him. 

6 And Da'vid said to 2 A-bish'a-i, Now shall 
She'ba the son of Bich'ri do us more harm 
than did Ab'sa-lom: take thou thy lord's serv- 
ants, and pursue after him, 'lest he get him 
fenced cities, and escape us. 

7 And there went out after him Jo'ab's men, 
and the Cher'eth-ites, and the Pe'leth-ites, and 
all the mighty men: and they went out of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, to pursue after She'ba the son of 
Bich'ri. 

8 When they were at the great stone which 
is in Gib'e-on, Am'a-sa went before them. And 
Jd'ab's garment that he had put on was girded 
unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword 
fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; 
and as he went forth it fell out. 

9 And Jo'ab said to Am'a-sa, Art thou in 
health, my brother? And JS'ab took Am'a-sa 
by the beard with the right hand to e kiss him. 

10 But Am'a-sa took no heed to the sword 
that was in Jo'ab's hand: so ^he smote him 
therewith in the 3 fifth rib, and shed out his 
bowels to the ground, and struck him not 
again; and he died. So Jo'ab and A-bish'a-i 
his brother pursued after She'ba the son of 
Bich'ri. 

11 And one of Jo'ab's men stood by hirn, and 
said, He that favoureth Jo'ab, and he that is 
for Da'vid, let him go after J5'a.b. 

12 And Am'a-sa wallowed in blood in the 
midst of the highway. And when the man 
saw that all the people stood still, he removed 
Am'a-sa out of the highway into the field, and 
cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every 
one that came by him stood still. 

13 When he was removed out of the high- 
way, all the people went on after Jo'ab, to 
pursue after She'ba the son of Bich'ri. 

14 IT And he went through all the tribes of 
Is'ra-el unto Alael, and to Beth-ma'a-chah, and 
all the Be'rites: and they were gathered to- 
gether, and went also after him. 

15 And they came and besieged him in 
A'bel of Beth-ma'a-chah, and they cast up a 



k. Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, 
what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made 
my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: 
verily every man at his best stat-? is altogether vanity. Selah. (Ps. 
39:4, 5.) 

I. I gathered me also silver and gold, and a peculiar treasure of 
kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, 
and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that 
of all sorts. (Ecc. 2:8.) Woe unto them that rise up early in the 
morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, 
till wine inflame them. And the harp, and the viol, the tabret and 
pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the 
Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands. (Is. 5:11, 12.) 

m. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most 
high God, possessor of heaven and earth. (Gen. 14:19.) So Joshua 
blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents. 
(Josh. 22:6.) 

n. And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent 

it in twelve pieces. And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; 

for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the 

kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee. 

11:30, 31.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among 



you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let 
us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known. (Dt. 13:13.) 

b. So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, 
the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? 
neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: 
now see to thine own house, David. So Israel 'departed unto their tents. 
(I Ks. 12:16.) 

c. The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: there- 
fore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. (Prov. 17:14.) 

d. And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And 
the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house. 
(II Sam. 15:16.) So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the 
house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight 
of all Israel. (II Sam. 16:22.) 

e. And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was 
called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto 
Jesus to kiss him. (Luke 22:47.) 

f. Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did 
to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel. Unto 
Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he 
slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war 
upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were 
on his feet. (I Ks. 2:5.>

bank against the city, and it stood in the 
trench : and all the people that were with Jo'ab 
battered the wall, to throw it down. 

16 II Then cried a wise woman out of the 
city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Jo'ab, 
Come near hither, that I may speak with thee. 

17 And when he was come near unto her, 
the woman said, Art thou Jo'ab? And he an- 
swered, I am he. Then she said unto him, 
Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he 
answered, I do hear. 

18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont 
to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely 
ask counsel at A'bel: and so they ended the 
matter. 

19 I am one of them that are peaceable and 
faithful in Is'ra-el: thou seekest to destroy a 
city and a mother in Is'ra-el: why wilt thou 
swallow up "the ^inheritance of the 5 Lord? 

20 And Jo'ab answered and said, Far be it, 
far be it from me, that I should swallow up 
or destroy. 

21 The matter is not so: but a man of 
mount E'phra-im, She'ba the son of Bich'ri by 
name, hath lifted up his hand against the 
king, even against Da'vid: deliver him only, 
and I will depart from the city. And the 
woman said unto Jo'ab, Behold, his head shall 
be thrown to thee over the wall. 

22 Then the woman went unto all the peo- 
ple in her wisdom. And they cut off the head 
of She'ba the son of Bich'ri, and cast it out to 
Jo'ab. And he blew a trumpet, and they re- 
tired from the city, every man to his tent. 
And Jo'ab returned to Je-ru'sa-lem unto the 
king. 

23 If Now Jo'ab was over all the host of Is'- 
ra-el : and Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da was 
over the Cher'eth-ites and over the Pe'leth- 
Ites: 

24 And A-do'ram was over the tribute: and 
Je-hosh'a-phat the son of A-hi'lud was re- 
corder : 

25 And She'ba was scribe: and Za'dok and 
A-bi'a-thar were the priests: 

26 And I'ra also the Ja'ir-ite was a chief 
ruler about Da'vid.

said unto them; (now the Gib'e-on-ites were

to slay them in his zeal to the children of 
Is'ra-el and Ju'dah.) 

3 Wherefore Da'vid said unto the Gib'e-on- 
Ites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith 
shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless 
d the inheritance of the Lord? 

4 And the Gib'e-on-ites said unto him, We 
will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his 
house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man 
in Is'ra-el. And he said, What ye shall say, 
that will I do for you. 

5 And they answered the king, The man that 
consumed us, and that devised against us that 
we should be destroyed from remaining in any 
of the coasts of Is'ra-el, 

6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered 
unto us, and we will hang them up unto the 
^ord in Gib'e-ah of Saul, whom the ^ord did 
choose. And the king said, I will 4 give them. 

7 But the king spared Me-phib'o-sheth, the 
son of Jon'a-than the son of Saul, because of 
the Lord's oath that was between them, be- 
tween Da'vid and Jon'a-than the son of Saul. 

8 But the king took the two sons of Riz'pah 
the daughter of A-i'ah, whom she bare unto 
Saul, Ar-mo'ni and Me-phib'o-sheth; and the 
five sons of Mi'chal the daughter of Saul, 
whom she brought up for A'dri-el the son of 
Bar-zil'la-i the Me-hol'ath-ite: 

9 And he delivered them into the hands of 
the Gib'e-on-ites, and they hanged them in the 
hill before the *Lord: and they fell all seven 
together, and were put to death in the days of 
harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of 
barley harvest. 

10 If And Riz'pah the daughter of A-i'ah 
took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the 
rock, from the beginning of harvest until water 
dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered 
neither the birds of the air to rest on them by 
day, nor the beasts of the field by night. 

11 6 And it was told Da'vid what Riz'pah the 
daughter of A-i'ah, the concubine of Saul, had 
done. 

12 f And Da'vid went and took the bones of 
Saul and the bones of Jon'a-than his son from 
the men of Ja'besh-gil'e-ad, which had stolen 
them from the street of Beth'-shan, where the 
e Phi-lis'tine§ had hanged them, when the Phi- 
lis'tines. fhad slain Saul in Gil-bo'a: 

13 And he brought up from thence the bones 
of Saul and the bones of Jon'a-than his son;' 
and they gathered the bones of them that were 
hanged. 

14 And the bones of Saul and Jon'a-than his 
son buried they in the country of Ben'ja-min 
in Ze'lah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: 
and they performed all that the king com- 
manded. And after that God was intreated 
for the land.

again with Is'ra-el; and Da'vid went down, and 
his servants with him, and fought against the

g. Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words 
of his servant. If the Lord nave stirred thee up against me, let him 
accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they 
before the Lord; for they have driven me out this day from abiding 
in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods. (I Sam. 
26:19.) Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was 
kindled against us. (Ps. 124:3.)

b. So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it 
defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that 
is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. (Num. 35:33.) 

c. And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done 
unto Jericho and to Ai (3). And it came to pass at the end of three 
days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that 
they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them. And the 
children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third 
day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and 
Kirjath-jearim. And the children of Israel smote them not, because 
the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord God 
of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes. 
(Joshua 9:3, 16-18.) 



d. But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the 
iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, 
as ye are this day. (Dt. 4:20.) For the Lord's portion is his people; 
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. (Dt. 32:9.) For they be thy people, 
and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from 
the midst of the furnace of iron. (I Ks. 8:51.) Blessed is the nation 
whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his 
own inheritance. (Ps. 33:12.) Remember thy congregation, which thou 
hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast 
redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. (Ps. 74:2.) From 
following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his 
people, and Israel his inheritance. (Ps. 78:71.) The portion of Jacob 
is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel -is the 
rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name. (Jer. 10:16.) 

e. And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth; and they 
fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan. (I Sam. 31:10.) 

f. Then said Saul unto his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and 
thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust 
me through, and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he 
was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. (I

of the giant, the weight of whose spear 
weighed 'three hundred shekels of brass in 
weight, he being girded with a new sword, 
thought to have slain David. 

17 But A-blsh'a-I the son of Zer-u-i'ah suc- 
coured him, and smote the Phi-lis'tine, and 
killed him. Then the men of Da'vid sware 
unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out 
with us to battle, that thou quench not the 
light of Is'ra-el. 

18 And it came to pass after this, that there 
was again a battle with the Phi-lis'tines at 
Gob: then SibT>e-chai the Hu'shath-ite slew 
Saph, which was of the sons of the giant. 

19 And there was again a battle in Gob 
with the Phi-lis'tines, where El-ha'nan the son 
of Ja-ar'e-or'e-gim, a Beth'-le-hem-ite, slew 
the brother of Go-lT'ath the Git'tite, the staff 
of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 

20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, 
where was a man of great stature, that had 
on every hand six fingers, and on every foot 
six toes, four and twenty in number; and he 
also was born to the giant. 

21 And when he defied Is'ra-el, Jon'a-than 
the son of Shim'e-ah the brother of Da'vid 
slew him. 

22 These four were born to the giant in 
Gath, and fell by the hand of Da'vid, and by 
the hand of his servants. 

CHAPTER 22. 

A psalm of thanksgiving for God's powerful 

deliverance, and manifold blessings. 

1 "'And Da'vid c spake unto the "Lord the 
words of this song in the day that the "Lord 
had delivered him out of the hand of all his 
enemies, and out of the hand of Saul : 

2 And he said, The "Lord 6 is my rock, and 
my fortress, and my deliverer; 

3 The God of my rock; c in him will I trust: 
he is my '-'shield, and the c horn of my salvation, 
my high tower, and my f refuge, my saviour; 
thou savest me from violence. 

4 I will call on the 2 Lord, who is worthy to 
be praised: so shall I be saved from mine ene- 
mies. 

5 When the s waves of death compassed me. 
the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; 

6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; 
the snares of death prevented me; 

7 In my distress I called upon the "Lord. 
and cried to my God: and he did ^hear my 
voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter 
into his ears. 

8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the 
foundations of heaven moved and shook, be- 
cause he was wroth. 

9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, 
and fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were 
kindled by it. 

10 He bowed the heavens also, and came 
down; and darkness was under his feet. 

11 And he rode upon a 4 cherub, and did fly: 
and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

1. This eh., an ode of thanksgiv- 
ing, is practically the same as the 
ISth Ps.. and was composed by Da- 
vid to celebrate his deliverances from 
his foes. In tone, spirit, feeling and 
sentiment this ode bears a striking re- 
semblance to the last song of Moses 
in Dt. 32:1-13. Many Hebrew schol- 
ars consider the ISth Ps. to be a re- 
vision of this ch. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. Pangs. 



4. Jehovah's dwelling place had 
been over the mercyseat between the 
cherubim, so he is here represented as 
borne upon the wings cf the cherub. 



5. That is. wilfully and purposely 
turned aside from Jehovah's ser- 
vice. 



6. Ey referring to his iniquity. 
David shows that when he speaks of 
his uprightness he is not laying claim 
to absolute purity and perfection, but 
to his treatment of bis enemies and 
his observance of the religious ordi- 
nances.

12 And he made darkness pavilions round 
about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the 
skies. 

13 Through the brightness before him were 
coals of fire kindled. 

14 The Lord ''thundered from heaven, and 
the most High uttered his voice. 

15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered 
them; lightning, and discomfited them. 

16 And the channels of the sea appeared, 
the foundations of the world were discovered, 
at the rebuking of the "Lord, at the blast of 
the breath of his nostrils. 

17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew 
me out of many waters; 

18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, 
and from them that hated me: for they were 
too strong for me. . 

19 They prevented me in the day of my ca- 
lamity: but the : Lord was my stay. 

20 He brought me forth also into a large 
place: he delivered me, because he delighted 
in me. 

21 The 2 Lord rewarded me according to my 
righteousness: according to the cleanness of 
my hands hath he recompensed me. 

22 For I have kept the ways of the 2 Lord, 
and have not wickedly "departed from my God. 

23 For all his 'judgments were before me: 
and as for his statutes, I did not depart from 
them. 

24 I was also upright before him, and have 
kept myself from 6 mine iniquity. 

25 Therefore the ^Lord hath recompensed 
me according to my righteousness; according 
to my cleanness in his eye sight. 

26 With 'the merciful thou wilt shew thy- 
self merciful, and with the upright man thou 
wilt shew thyself upright. 

27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself 
pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew 
thyself unsavoury. 

28 And the '-'afflicted people thou wilt save: 
but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou 
mayest bring them down. 

29 For thou art my lamp, "Lord: and the 
"Lord will lighten my darkness. 

30 For by thee I have run through a troop: 
by my God have I 'leaped over a wall. 

31 As for God, his way 'is perfect; '"the 
word of the 2 Lord is tried : he is a buckler to 
all them that trust in him. 

32 For who is God, save the 2 Lord? and who 
is a rock, save our God? 

33 God is my strength and power: and he 
maketh my way perfect. 

34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and 
setteth me upon my high places. 

35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that 
a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 

36 Thou hast also given me the shield of 
thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made 
me great. 

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; 
so that my feet did not slip.

a. See Ps. 18. 

b. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judg- 
ment: a God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is he. 
(Dt. 32:4.1 

c. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I 
and the children which God hath given me. (Keb. 2:13.) The Lord is 
my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, 
in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and 
mv high tower. (Ps. 18:2.) Behold. Gcd is my salvation: I will trust, 
and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; 
he also is become my salvation. (Is. 12:2.) 

d. After these things the word of the Lord came unto Ahram in a 
vision, saying, Fear not. Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding 
great reward. (Gen. 15:1.) My goodness, and my fortress: my high 
tower, and mv deliverer: my shield, and he in whom I trust; who 
subdu'eth my people under me. (Ps. 144:2.) 

e. And hath raised up an hern of salvation for us in the house 
of his servant David. (Luke 1 : 

t. But I will sing of thy power: yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy 
in tlie morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day 
of my trouble. (Ps. 59:16.) O Lord, my nd my fortress, and 

my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee 



from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have 
inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (Jer. 16:13.) 

g. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people 
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task- 
masters; for I know their sorrows. (Ex. 3:7.) 

h. And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to he heard, and 
shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his 
anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and 
tempest, and hailstones. (Is. 30:30.)

k. And the l-ord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people

song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord 
Gcd Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 
(Rev. 15:3.) 

m. The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a 
furnace of earth, purified seven times. (Ps. 12:6.) Every word of God 
is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (Prov. 
30:5.)

38 I have pursued mine enemies, and des- 
troyed them; and turned not again until I had 
consumed them. 

39 And I have consumed them, and wounded 
them, that they could not arise: yea, they are 
fallen under my feet. 

40 For thou hast girded me with strength 
to battle: them that rose up against me hast 
thou subdued under me. 

41 Thou 'hast also given me the necks of 
mine enemies, that I might destroy them that 
hate me. 

42 They looked, but there was none to save; 
even "unto the "Lord, but he answered them 
not. 

43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust 
of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of 
the street, and did spread them abroad. 

44 Thou also hast delivered me from the 
strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to 
be "head of the heathen: Pa. people which I 
knew not shall serve me. 

45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto 
me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obe- 
dient unto me. 

46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall 
be afraid out of their close places. 

47 The "Lord liveth ; and blessed be my rock ; 
and exalted be the God of the srock of my 
salvation. 

48 It is God that avengeth me, and that 
bringeth down the people under me, 

49 And that bringeth me forth from mine 
enemies : thou also hast lifted me up on high 
above them that rose up against me: thou hast 
delivered me from the violent man. 

50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O 
2 Lord, among the 'heathen, and I will sing 
praises unto thy name. 

51 He is the tower of s salvation for his 
king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto 
David, and to his seed 'for evermore. 

CHAPTER 23. 

1 David, in his last words, professeth his faith 
in God's promises. 8 A catalogue of Da- 
vid's mighty men. 

1 J Now these be the last words of Da'vid. 
Da'vid the son of Jes'se said, and the man who 
was raised up on high, the anointed of the God 
of Ja'cob, and the sweet psalmist of Is'ra-el, 
said, 

2 The Spirit of the "Lord spake by me, and 
his word ? 'ivas in my tongue. 

3 The God of Is'ra-el said, the Rock of' Is'- 
ra-el spake to me, He that ruleth over men 
must be just, ruling in the fear a of God. 

4 And he shall be as the Hight of the morn- 
ing, when the sun riseth, even a morning with- 
out clouds; as the tender grass springing out 
of the earth by clear shining after rain. 

5 Although my house be not so with God; 
yet he hath made with me an everlasting cove- 
nant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this 
is all my salvation, and all my desire, although 
he make it not to grow. 



8. It is to be observed that David 
devoutly ascribes all bis victories to 
God. 



Ch. 23. B. C. 1018. 



1. Vs. 1-7 give tbe last words 
of David. D. has now come close 
to the end of his life, and like the 
dying Jacob, his memory clings to the 
promises of Jehovah and his spirit 
looks forward into the future to the 
coming of the Messiah. "When thy 
kingdom shall be established for ever 
before thee." (Ch. 7:16.) 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. That is, divinely inspired. 



4. Sons of worthlessness or wick- 
edness. 



5. Barley. 



6. Vs. 8-30 give a detailed list 
of David's mighty men. This is sub- 
stantially the same list as I Chr. 11: 
1U-47. 



6 If But the sons of 4 Be'li-al shall be all of 
them as thorns thrust away, because they can- 
not be taken with hands: 

7 But the man that shall touch them must 
be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; 
and they shall be utterly burned with fire in 
the same place. 

8 If These be the names of the mighty men 
whom Da'vid had: The Tach'mo-nite that sat 
in the seat, chief among the captains; the 
same was Ad'i-no the Ez'nite: he lift up his 
spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at 
one time. 

9 And after him was E-le-a'zar the son of 
Do'do the A-ho'hite, one of the three mighty 
men with Da'vid, when they defied the Phi-lls - 
tines, that were there gathered together to bat- 
tle, and the men of Is'ra-el were gone away: 

10 He arose, and smote the Phi-lis'tine§ un- 
til his hand was weary, and his hand clave 
unto the sword : and the 2 Lord wrought a great 
victory that day; and the people returned after 
him only to spoil. 

11 And after him was Sham'mah the son 
of Ag'e-e the Ha'ra-rite. And the Phi-Ks'- 
tine§ were gathered together into a troop, 
where was a piece of ground full of 'lentiles : 
and the people fled from the Phi-lis'tineg. 

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, 
and defended it, and slew the Phi-lis'tine§ : 
and the Lord wrought a great victory. 

13 And three of the thirty chief went down, 
and came to Da'vid in the harvest time unto 
*the cave of A-dul'lam : and the troops of the 
Phi-lis'tine§ pitched in the valley of Reph'- 
a-im. 

14 And Da'vid was then in an hold, and the 
garrison of the Phi-lis'tine§ was then in Beth'- 
le-hem. 

15 And Da'vid longed, and said, Oh that one 
would give me drink of the water of the well 
of Beth'-le-hem, which is by the gate! 

16 And the three mighty men brake through 
the host of the Phi-lis'tlnes, and drew water 
out of the well of Beth'-le-hem, that was by 
the gate, and took it, and brought it to Da'vid : 
nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but 
poured it out unto the 2 Lord. 

17 And he said, Be it far from me, O 2 Lord, 
that I should do this: is not this f the blood of 
the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? 
therefore he would not drink it. These things 
did these three mighty men. 

18 And A-bish'a-i, the brother of Jo'aD, the 
son of Zer-u-i'ah, was chief among three. And 
he lifted up his spear against three hundred, 
and slew them, and had the name among three. 

19 Was he not most honourable of three? 
therefore he was their captain : howbeit he at- 
tained not unto the first three. 

20 And Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da, the 
son of a valiant man, of Kab'ze-el, who had 
done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of 
M5'ab: he went down also and slew a lion in 
the midst of a pit in time of snow: 

21 And he slew an E-gyp'tian, a goodly

his servant from the hurtful sword. (Ps. 144:10.)

thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He -shall build an house 
for my name, ar.d I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 



(II Sam. 7:12, 13.) His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and 
his throne as the days of heaven. (Ps. 89:29.) He shall be great, and 
shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto 
him the throne of his father David. And he shall reign over the house 
of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 
1:32, 33.) The people answered him, We have heard out of the law 
that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou. The Son of man must 
be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (Jno. 12:34.)

were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of 
barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines. (I Chr. 11:13.) 

d. David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adul- 
lam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they 
went down thither to him. (I Sam. 22:1.) 

e. And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the 
strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood:

cut him off from among his people. (Lev. 17:10.)

went out from the presence of the king, to 
number the people of Is'ra-el. 

5 r And they passed over Jor'dan, and 
pitched in Ar'6-er, on the right side of the city 
that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and 
toward Ja'zer: 

6 Then they came to Gil'e-ad, and to the 
land of Tah tim-hod'shi ; and they came to 
Dan-ja'an, and about to Zi'don, 

7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and 
to all the cities of the Hi'vites, and of the Ca'- 
naan-ites: and they went out to the south of 
Ju'dah, even to Be'er-she'ba. 

8 So when they had gone through all the 
land, they came to Je-ru'sa-lem at the end of 
nine months and twenty days. 

9 And Jo'ab gave up the sum of the number 
of the people unto the king: and there were in 
Is'ra-el eight hundred thousand valiant men 
that drew the sword; and the men of Ju'dah 
were five hundred thousand men. 

10 r And David's heart smote him after 
that he had numbered the people. And Da'vid 
said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in 
that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, 
Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; 
for I have *done very foolishly. 

11 For when Da'vid was up in the morning, 
| the word of the Lord came unto the prophet 

Gad, David's seer, saying, 

12 Go and say unto Da'vid, Thus saith the 
Lord, I offer thee three things; choose thee one 

; of them, that I may do it unto thee. 

13 So Gad came to Da'vid, and told him, 
, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine 

come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee 
three months before thine enemies, while they 
pursue thee? or that there be three days' pesti- 
lence in thy land? now advise, and see what 
answer I shall return to him that sent me. 

14 And Da'vid said unto Gad, I am in a 
great strait: let us fall now into the hand of 
the T.ord; c for his mercies are great: and 3 let 
me not fall into the hand of man. 

15 r So the Lord f sent a pestilence upon Is'- 
ra-el from the morning even to the time ap- 
pointed : and there died of the people from Dan 
even to Be'er-she'ba seventy thousand men. 

16 And when the angel stretched out his 
hand upon Je-ru'sa-lem to destroy it, the s Lord 
^repented him of the evil, and said to the angel 
that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay 
now thine hand. And the angel of the 3 Lord 
was by the threshingplace of A-rau'nah the 
Jeb'u-slte. 

17 And Da'vid spake unto the Lord when 
he 4 saw the angel that smote the people, and 
said, Lo, -'I have sinned, and I have done wick- 
edly: but these sheep, what have they done? 
let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and 
against my father's house. 

18 r And Gad came that day to Da'vid, and 
said unto him, ^'Go up, rear an altar unto the 
Lord in the threshingfloor of A-rau'nah the 
Jeb'u-slte. 

19 And Da'vid, according to the saying of 
Gad, went up as the Lord commanded. 

20 And A-rau'nah looked, and saw the king

of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek. therefore 
hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day. (I Sam. 2S:1S.) And 
the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah: and God smote him

and his servants coming on toward him: and 
A-rau'nah went out, and bowed himself before 
the king on his face upon the ground. 

21 And A-rau'nah said, Wherefore is my 
lord the king come to his servant? And Da'vid 
said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to 
build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague 
•may be stayed from the people. 

22 And A-rau'nah said unto Da'vid, Let my 
lord the king take and offer up what seemeth 
good unto him : behold, -'here be oxen for burnt 
sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other 
instruments of the oxen for wood. 



5. As a type and a symbol of hi3 
complete consecration to Jehovah. 



6. Which became the site of the 
temple. 



7. Expressive of his confidence of 
peace with Jehovah and his gratitude 
for divine favors. Thus is closed the 
record of David's life with Jehovah's 
answer to the petitions of a contrite 
heart. 



23 All these things did A-rau'nah, as a king, 
give unto the king. And A-rau'nah said unto 
the king, The Lord thy God accept fc thee. 

24 And the king said unto A-rau'nah, Nay; 
but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: 
neither will I offer 5 burnt offerings unto the 
Lord my God of that which doth cost me noth- 
ing. So Da'vid bought the threshingfloor and 
the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 

25 And Da'vid built "there an altar unto the 
Lord, and offered burnt ^offerings and peace 
Offerings. So the 3 Lord was intreated for the 
land, and the s plague was stayed from Is'ra-el. 



i. And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague 
was stayed. (Num. 16:48.)' 

j. And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and 
slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, 
and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went 
after Elijah, and ministered unto him. (I Ks. 19:21.) 



1 k. For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of 
Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of 
them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will 
I require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all 
your holy things. (Ezek. 20:40.) 



THE FIRST BOOK OF THE 



KINGS 



XOTE. — The Books of Kings take up the history of the kingdom of Israel where David's reign leaves off in II Sam. and goes forward through the 
First and Second Books, covering a period of about 400 years, including the brilliant portion of Solomon's reign, his fall and the division of the kingdom. 
While these books are considered the truest history of the Old Testament, yet their purpose is not merely historical but religious and admonitory. "The 
leading thought upon which the writer of Kings may be said to lay chief stress is, (1) whole-hearted devotion to Jehovah as Israel's only God. the obliga- 
tion based upon the fact that Jehovah has made a choice of Israel. (2) sacrificial worship of Jehovah, to be conducted ouly at the temple of Jerusalem, the 
place chosen by Jehovah to set his name." Conformity to these two principles is made the test to which the deeds of the Kings are brought and in accord- 
ance with which judgment is pronounced upon their characters. David is taken as the writer's ideal king. The marked prosperity of the earlier part of 
Solomon's reign is traced to his love for Jehovah and the keeping of his statues: the decay of Solomon's power and glory is traced to his marriage with for- 
eign women in direct violation of Jehovah's commands (Dt. 7:1-4; Ex. 34:12-16). Idolatrous worship is now brought into the kingdom, which is regarded 
by the writer as the great blot upon Israel's history. It was a double offence, (1). a violation of the second commandment, (2) a fatal blow aimed at 
the centralization of worship at the temple in Jerusalem. The maintenance of this practice is what brought about the destruction of the kingdom cf Israel - 
While the descendants of the house of David, through the kingdom of Judah. are regarded by the writer with favorable consideration, yet in every case is 
mentioned to their discredit that, "The high places were not removed.'' i. e.. that the sacrificial worship of Jehovah was conducted at other places than the 
central sanctuary at Jerusalem. Hezekiah and Josiah received unqualified approval, because of their efforts along the line of religious reformation, con- 
stantly striving to remove the high places. 

The last ch. of the Second Book of Kings shows that they must have been written after the destruction of Jerusalem. It is impossible to decide 
definitely the question of authorship. Some claim that Jeremiah was the author, others Ezra, and still others that it was Baruch. to whom Jeremiah dic- 
tated much. "Then Jeremiah called Baruch. the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had 
spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. (Jer. 36:4.) 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Abishag cherisheth David in his extreme 
age. 5 Adonijah usurpeth the kingdom. 28 
David reneiceth his oath to Bdth-sheba. 32 
Solomon being anointed king by Zadok and 
Nathan, the people triumph. 50 Adonijah, 
flying to the horns of the altar, is dismissed 
by Solomon. 

1 Now king Da'vid was '"old and stricken in 
years; and they covered him with clothes, but 
he gat no heat. 

2 Wherefore his Servants said unto him, Let 
there be sought for my lord the king a young 
virgin: and let her stand before the king, and 
let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy 
bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. 

3 So they sought for a fair damsel through- 
out all the coasts of Is'ra-el, and found Ab'- 
i-shag a Shu'nam-mite, and brought her to the 
king. 

4 And the damsel was very fair, and cher- 
ished the king, and ministered to him: but the 
king 'knew her not. 

5 r: Then 4 Ad-o-ni'jah a the son of c Hag'gith 
exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he 
^prepared himself chariots and horsemen, and 
fifty men to run before him. 

6 And his father had not displeased him at 
any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? 
and he also was a very T goodly man; and his 
mother bare him after Ab'sa r 15rn. 

7 And he conferred with Jo'ab the son of 
Zer-u-i'ah, and with A-bi'a-thar the priest: 
and 'they following- Ad-6-m'jah helped him. 

8 But Za'dok the priest, and Be-na'iah the 
son of Je-hoi'a-da, and Na'than the prophet, 
and Shim'e-i, and Re'I, and the mighty men 
which belonged to Da'vid, were not with Ad-o- 
nl'jah. 

9 And Ad-o-nl'jah slew sheep and oxen and 
fat cattle by the stone of Zo'he-leth, which is 
by En-ro'gel, and called all his brethren the 
king's sons, and all the men of Ju'dah the 
king's servants: 

10 But Na'than the prophet, and Be-na'iah, 
and the mighty men, and Sol'o-mon his brother, 
he called not. 

11 *~ 'Wherefore Na'than spake unto Bath'- 
she-ba the mother of S6ro-mon, saying, Hast 
thou not heard that Ad-6-ni'jah the son of 
Haggith ^doth reign, and Da'vid our lord 
knoweth it not? 

12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee,

own life, and the life of thy son Sol'o-mon. 

13 Go and get thee in unto king Da'vid, and 
say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, 
"swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly 
' Sol'o-mon thy son shall reign after me, and he 
shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Ad- 
o-nijah reign? 

14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with 
the king, I also will come in after thee, and 
confirm thy words. 

15 r And Bath'-she-ba went in unto the king 
into the chamber: and the king was very old; 
and Ab'i-shag the Shu'nam-mite ministered 
unto the king. 

16 And Bath'-she-ba bowed, and did obei- 
sance unto the king. And the king said, What 
wouldest thou? 

17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou 
swarest by the lc 'Lord thy God unto thine hand- 
maid, saying, Assuredly S51'o-mon thy son 
shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my 
throne. 

18 And now, behold, Ad-o-nl'jah reigneth; 
and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it 
not: 

19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle 
and sheep in abundance, and hath called all 
the sons of the king, and A-bi'a-thar the priest, 
and Jo'ab the captain of the host: but Sol'o- 
mon thy servant hath he not called. 

20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of 
all is'ra-el are upon thee, that thou shouldest 
tell them who shall sit on the throne of my 
lord the king after him. 

21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my 
lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that 
I and my son Sol'o-mon shall be counted offend- 
ers. 

22 *~ And, lo, while she yet talked with the 
king, Na'than the prophet also came in. 

23 And they told the king, saying, Behold 
Na'than the prophet. And when he was come 
in before the king, he bowed himself before 
the king with his face to the ground. 

24 And Na'than said, My lord, O king, hast 
thou said, Ad-o-ni'jah shall reign after me, 
and he shall sit upon my throne? 

25 For he is gone down this day, and hath 
slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abun- 
dance, and hath called all the king's sons, and 
the captains of the host, and A-bra-thar the 
priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before 
him, and say, God save king Ad-o-nl'jah.

26 But me, even me thy servant, and Za'dok 
the priest, and Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'-

called. 

27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, 
and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, 
who should sit on the throne of my lord the 
king after him? 

28 T Then king Da'vid answered and said, 
"Call me Bath'-she-ba. And she came into the 
king's presence, and stood before the king. 

29 And the king sware, and said, 10 As the 
Lord liveth, fthat hath redeemed my 12 soul out 
of all distress, 

30 Even as I sware unto thee by the 10 Lord 
God of Is'ra-el, saying, Assuredly Sol'o-mon 
thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit 
upon my throne in my stead; even so will I 
certainly do this day. 

31 Then Bath'-she-ba bowed with her face 
to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and 
said, Let my lord king Da'vid live for ever. 

32 t And king Da'vid said, Call me Za'dok 
the priest, and Na'than the prophet, and Be- 
na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da. And they came 
before the king. 

33 The king also said unto them, Take with 
you the servants of your lord, and cause Sol'- 
o-mon my son to ride upon mine own mule, 
and bring him down to "Gi'hon : 

34 And let Za'dok the priest and Na'than 
the prophet ''anoint him there king over Is'- 
ra-el : and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, 
God save king "Sol'o-mon. 

35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he 
may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall 
be king in my stead: and I have appointed him 
to be ruler over Is'ra-el and over Ju'dah. 

36 And Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da an- 
swered the king, and said, Amen: the 10 Lord 
God of my lord the king say so too. 

37 'As the "Lord hath been with my lord 
the king, even so be he with Sol'o-mon, and 
make his throne greater than the throne of my 
lord king Da'vid. 

38 So Za'dok the priest, and Na'than the 
prophet, and Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da, 
and the Cher'eth-ites, and the Pe'leth-ites, 
went down, and caused Sol'o-mon to ride upon 
king Da'vid's 13 mule, and brought him to Gi'- 
hon. 

39 And Za'dSk the priest took an horn of oil 
out of the •'tabernacle, and ^'anointed "Sol'o- 
mon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the 
people said, God save king Sol'o-mon.

and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced 



11. As was the custom at that time, 
when the king was talking with a 
special person, the others who might 
have been present retire, which Bath- 
sheba did when the king was talking 
to Nathan. 



12. A calling to memory the foul 
and dark sin of David's life, which 
would be readily understood by Bath- 
sheba. 



13. To ride upon the king's mule 
was an honor second only to being 
crowned king. 



14. Son of David and Bathsheba. 
Though the reign of Solomon is sec- 
ond only in importance to that of 
David, yet there was so little of va- 
riety of incidents connected with it, 
that far less space is given to it in 
the Bible narrative than to David. 
His elder brother Adonijah has made 
an attempt to usurp the throne, but 
he had been thwarted by David, who 
had been told by Jehovah in I Chr. 
22:9 that Solomon should be his suc- 
cessor. During his reign, the nation 
enjoyed a great season of peace as 
a consequence of the victories of 
David; therefore the people were 
given an opportunity of turning their 
attention to the general industries, 
and as a result, the wealth of Solo- 
mon is almost beyond comprehension. 
Besides wealth, Solomon was known 
for the number of great buildings 
which he erected, viz., the temple at 
Jerusalem, the king's palace, the 
queen's palace, the house of the for- 
est of Lebanon, his porch and the 
porch of the law-court. He had 700 
wives and 300 concubines. He was 
especially known for his wisdom and 
sagacity, which Jehovah said should 
never be surpassed. "He was full 
of sublime devotion, equally full of 
practical sagacity; the extemporizer 
of the loftiest litany in existence, 
withal the author of the pungent 
proverbs; able to mount up on rap- 
ture's ethereal pinion to the region 
of the seraphim, but keenly alive to 
ail the details of business and shrewd 
in all human intercourse." (Ham- 
ilton, the royal preacher.) 



15. Vs. 41-53, Adonijah's alarm. 



16. The altar in the tabernacle on 
Zion, which was the emblem of se- 
curity, so it was sacrilege to commit 
violence on any person who fled there 
for safety, unless guilty of a very 
flagrant offence. 



17. Thus the very first official act 
of the new king was one indicative of 
magnanimity. 



with great joy, so that the earth rent with the 
sound. of them. 

41 If 15 And Ad-6-ni'jah and all the guests 
that were with him heard it as they had made 
an end of eating. And when Jo'ab heard the 
sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is 
this noise of the city being in an uproar? 

42 And while he yet spake, behold, Jon'a- 
than the son of A-bi'a-thar the priest came: 
and Ad-o-ni'jah said unto him, Come in; for 
thou art a valiant man, and bringest good 
tidings. 

43 And Jon'a-than answered and said to 
Ad-6-ni'jah, Verily our lord king Da'vid hath 
made Sol'o-mon king. 

44 And the king hath sent with him Za'dok 
the priest, and Na'than the prophet, and Be- 
na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da, and the Cher'- 
eth-Ites, and the Pe'leth-ites, and they have 
caused him to ride upon the king's "mule: 

45 And Za'dok the priest and Na'than the 
prophet have anointed him king in Gi'hon : and 
they are come up from thence rejoicing, so 
that the city rang again. This is the noise 
that ye have heard. 

46 And also "Sol'o-mon 'sitteth on the 
throne of the kingdom. 

47 And moreover the king's servants came 
to bless our lord king Da'vid, saying, God 
make the name of S51'o-mon better than thy 
name, and make his throne greater than thy 
throne. And the king bowed himself upon the 
bed. 

48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be 
the "Lord God of Is'ra-el, which hath '"given 
one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes 
even seeing it. 

49 And all the guests that were with Ad-o- 
ni'jah were afraid, and rose up, and went every 
man his way. 

50 If And Ad-o-ni'jah feared because of "Sol'- 
o-mon, and arose, and went, and caught hold 
"on the lc horns of the altar. 

51 And it was told Sol'o-mon, saying, Be- 
hold, Ad-6-ni'jah feareth king "Sol'o-mon: for, 
lo, he hath caught hold on the lc horns of the 
altar, saying, Let king Sol'o-mon swear unto 
me to day that he will not slay his servant 
with the sword. 

52 And "Sol'o-mon said, If he will shew 
himself a worthy man, "there shall not an hair 
I7 of him fall to the earth: ?>but if wickedness 
shall be found in him, he shall die. 

53 So king "Sol'o-mon sent, and they 
brought him down from the altar. And he 
came and bowed himself to king S5ro-mon : 
and Sol'o-mon said unto him, Go to thine 
house. 



g. The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; 
and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers 
Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst 
of the earth. (Gen. 48:16.) The Lord redeemeth the soul of his serv- 
ants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. (Ps. 34:22.) 
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy

with loving kindness and tender mercies (4). The Lord executeth 
righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. (Ps. 103:1, 4, 6.) 

h. Then Samuel took a vial o£ oil, and poured it upon his head, 
and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed 
thee to be captain over his inheritance? (I Sam. 10:1.) And the men 
of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of 
Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead 
were they that buried Saul. (II Sam. 2:4.) Then take the box of oil, 
and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed 
thee king over Israel. Then open the door and flee, and tarry not. 
(II Ks. 9:3.) And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown 
upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and 
anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the 
king. (II Ks. 11:12.) 

i. According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we 
hearken unto thee; only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with 
Moses. (Josh. 1:17.) Then Samuel took the horn of oil. and anointed 
him in the midst of his brethren; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon 
David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 
(I Sam. 16:13.) The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan; but if it 
please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it thee, and send 
thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and the Lord be with thee, 
as he hath been with my father. (I Sam. 20:13.) 



j. Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five 
hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hun- 
dred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shek- 
els, and of cassia, five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, 
and of oil olive an hin. And thou shalt make it an oil of holy oint- 
ment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary; it shall be 
an holy anointing oil. (Ex. 30:23-25.) I have found David my servant; 
with my holy oil have I anointed him. (Ps. 89:20.) 

k. And did eat and drink before the Lord on that day with great 
gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second 
time, and anointed him unto the Lord to be the chief governor, and 
Zadok to be priest. (I Chr. 29:22.) 

1. Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of 
David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. (I Chr. 
29:22.) 

m. The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from 
it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. (Ps. 132:11.) 

n. But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay 
him with guile: thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die. 
(Ex. 21:14.) And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; 
the horns thereof were of the same; and he overlaid it with brass. (Ex. 
38:2.) 

o. And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath 
wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid; as the Lord liveth, 
there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath 
wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he 
died not. (I Sam. 14:45.) 

p. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the 
small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; 
for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you, 
bring it unto me, and I will hear it. (Dt. 1:17.)

CHAPTER 2. 

1 David, having given a charge to Solomon, 
3 of religiousness, 5 of Joab, 7 of Bar- 
zillai, 8 of Shimei, 10 dieth. 13 Adonijah 
is put to death. 26 Abiathar is deprived of 

. the priesthood. 28 Joab fleeing to the horns 
of the altar is there slain. 

1 Now "the days of Da'vid drew nigh that 
he should die; and he charged S61''o-mon his 
son, saying, 

2 b I go the way of all the earth : be thou 
strong therefore, and 'shew thyself a man; 

3 And keep the 2 charge of the "Lord thy God, 
c to walk in his ways, to keep 4 his ^statutes, and 
his commandments, and his judgments, and his 
testimonies, 5 as it is written in the law of 
M6'§e§, that thou mayest prosper in all that 
thou doest, and whithersoever thou turn est 
thyself : 

4 That the "Lord may ^continue his word 
which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy 
children take heed to their way, to walk "be- 
fore me in truth with all their heart and with 
all .their soul, there shall not fail thee (said 
he) a man on the throne of Is'ra-el. 

5 Moreover thou knowest also what c Jo'ab 
the son of Zer-u-i'ah did to me, and what he 
did to the two captains of the hosts of is'ra-el, 
unto Ab'ner the son of Ner, and unto Am'a-sa 
the son of Je'ther, whom he slew, and shed the 
blood of war in peace, and put the blood of 
war upon his girdle that was about his loins, 
and in his shoes that were on his feet. 

6 Do ''therefore according to thy wisdom, 
and let not his hoar head go down to the grave 
in peace. 

7 But shew kindness unto the sons of Bar- 
zil'la-I the Gil'e-ad-ite, and let them be of 
those that eat 'at thy table: for so they came 
to me when I fled because of Ab'sa-lom thy 
brother. 

8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shim'e-i 
the son of Ge'ra, a Ben'ja-mite of Ba-hu'rim, 
which cursed me with a grievous curse in the 
day when I went to Ma-ha-na'im : but he came 
down to meet me at Jor'dan, and I sware to 
him by the 3 Lord, saying, I will not put thee 
to death with the sword. 

9 Now therefore •'hold him not guiltless: for 
thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou 
oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head 
bring thou down to the grave with blood. 

10 So 7 Da'vid slept with his fathers, and 
was buried in the city of Da'vid. 

11 And the days that Da'vid reigned ''over 
Is'ra-el were forty years: seven years reigned 
he in He'bron, and thirty and three years 
reigned he in'Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12 If "Then sat Sol'o-mon upon the throne of 
Da'vid his father; and his kingdom was estab- 
lished greatly. 

13 H And Ad-o-nl'jah the son of Hag'gith 
came to Bath'-she-ba the mother of Sol'o-mon. 
And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And 
he said, Peaceably.

14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to 
say unto thee. And she said, Say on. 

15 And he said, Thou knowest that the king- 
dom was mine, and that all Is'ra-el set their 
faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the 
kingdom is turned about, and is become my 
brother's: for 'it was his from the 3 Lord. 

16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny 
me not. And she said unto him, Say on. 

17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto 
Sol'o-mon the king, (for he will not say thee 
nay,) that he give me Ab'i-shag the Shu'nam- 
mite to wife. 

18 And Bath'-she-ba said, Well; I will speak 
for thee unto the king. 

19 If Bath'-she-ba therefore went unto king 
Sol'o-mon, to speak unto him for Ad-6-nI'jah. 
And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed 
himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, 
and caused a seat to be set for the king's 
mother; and she sat on his right hand. 

20 Then she said, I desire one small petition 
of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And 
the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: 
for I will not say thee nay. 

21 And she said, Let Ab'i-shag the Shu'- 
nam-mite be given to Ad-6-ni'jah thy brother 
to wife. 

22 And king Sol'o-mon answered and said 
unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Ab'i- 
shag the Shu'nam-mlte for Ad-o-nl'jah? 9 ask 
for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder 
brother; even for him, and for A-bi'a-thar the 
priest, and for Jo'ab the son of Zer-u-i'ah. 

23 Then king SSl'o-mon sware by the 3 Lord, 
saying, God do so to me, and more also, if 
Ad-6-ni'jah have not spoken this word against 
his own life. 

24 Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which 
hath established me, and set me on the throne 
of 7 Da'vid my father, and who hath made me 
an house, as he promised, Ad-6-ni'jah shall be 
I0 put to death this day. 

25 _ And king Sol'o-mon sent by the hand of 
Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da; and he fell 
upon him that he died. 

26 If And unto A-bi'a-thar the priest said 
the king, Get thee to An'a-thoth, unto thine 
own fields ; for thou art worthy of death : but 
I will not at this time put thee to death, be- 
cause thou barest the ark of the 3 Lord God be- 
fore Da'vid my father, and because thou hast 
been afflicted in all wherein my father was 
afflicted. 

27 So Sol'o-mon thrust out A-bi'a-thar from 
being priest unto the 3 Lord; that he might 
fulfil the word of the 3 Lord, which he spake 
concerning the house of E'li in Shi'loh. 

28 "i "Then tidings came to Jo'ab : for Jo'ab 
had turned after Ad-6-ni'jah, though he turned 
not after Ab'sa-15m. And Jo'ab fled unto the 
tabernacle of the 3 Lord, and caught hold on 
the horns of the altar. 

29 And it was told king Sol'o-mon that Jd'ab 
was fled unto the tabernacle of the 3 Lord; and, 
behold, he is by the altar. Then Sol'o-mon

a. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return 
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and 
unto dust shalt thou return. (Gen. 3:19.) And the time drew nigh that 
Israel must die; and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If 
now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under 
my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, 
in Egypt. (Gen. 47:29.) And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days 
approach, that thou must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the 
tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And 

b and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of

c. And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days

sent Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da, saying, 
Go, fall upon him. 

30 And Be-na'iah came to the tabernacle of 
the 3 Lord, and said unto him, Thus saith the 
king, "Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I 
will die here. And Be-na'iah brought the king 
word again, saying, Thus said Jo'ab, and thus 
he answered me. 

31 And the king said unto him, Do as he 
hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; 
that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, 
which Jo'ab shed, from me, and from the house 
of my father. 

32 And the 3 Lord shall return his blood upon 
his own head, who fell upon two men more 
righteous and better than he, and slew them 
with the sword, my father Da'vid not knowing 
thereof, to wit, Ab'ner the son of Ner, captain 
of the host of Is'ra-el, and Am'a-sa the son of 
Je'ther, captain of the host of Ju'dah. 

33 Their blood shall therefore return upon 
the head of Jo'ab, and upon the head of his 
seed for ever: but upon Da'vid, and upon his 
seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, 
shall there be peace for ever from the 3 Lord. 

34 So Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da went 
up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he 
was buried in his own house in the wilderness. 

35 If And the king put Be-na'iah the son of 
Je-hoi'a-da in his room over the host: and Za'- 
dok the priest did the king put in the room of 
A-bl'a-thar. 

36 II 13 And the king sent and called for 
Shim'e-T, and said unto him, Build thee an 
house in Je-ru'sa-lem, and dwell there, and go 
not forth thence any whither. 

37 For it shall be, that on the day thou 
goest out, and passest over the '"brook Kid'- 
ron, thou shalt know for certain that thou 
shalt surely die : "thy blood shall be upon thine 
own head. 

38 And Shim'e-I said unto the king, The 
saying is good : as* my lord the king hath said, 
so will thy servant do. And Shim'e-I dwelt in 
Je-ru'sa-lem many days. 

39 And it came to pass at the end of three 
years, that two of the servants of Shim'e-I 
ran away unto A'chish son of Ma'a-chah king 
of Gath. And they told Shim'e-I, saying, Be- 
hold, thy servants be in Gath. 

40 And Shim'e-I arose, and saddled his ass, 
and went to Gath to A'chish to seek his serv- 
ants : and Shim'e-I went, and brought his serv- 
ants from Gath. 

41 And it was told Sol'o-mon that Shim'e-I 
had gone from Je-ru'sa-lem to Gath, and was 
come again. 



12. So flagrant had been the sins 
of Joab that even the altar would not 
protect him, consequently he was com- 
manded to come forth. See Ex. 21:14.

42 And the king sent and called for Shina'- 
e-I, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to 
swear by the = Lord, and protested unto thee, 
saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou 
goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, 
that thou shalt surely die? and thou said6t 
unto me, The word that I have heard is good. 

43 Why then hast thou not °kept the oath 
of the 3 Lord, and the commandment that I 
have charged thee with? 

44 The king said moreover to Shim'e-I, Thou 
knowest all the wickedness which thine heart 
is privy to, that thou didst to Da'vid my 
father: therefore the 3 Lord shall return Hhy 
wickedness upon thine own head; 

45 And king Sol'o-mon shall be blessed, and 
the throne of Da'vid shall be established before 
the Lord for ever. 

46 So the king commanded Be-na'iah the 
son of Je-hoi'a-da; which went out, and fell 
upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was 
established in the hand of S51'o-mon. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 Solomon marrieth Pharaoh's daughter. 2 
Solomon sacrificeth at Gibeon. 5 Solomon, 
in the choice which God gave him, obtaineth 
wisdom, riches, and honour. 

1 And "Sol'o-mon made Affinity with Pha'- 
raoh king of E'gypt, and took Pha'raoh's 
daughter, and brought her into the city of 
Da'vid, until he had made an end of building 
his 2 own house, and the house of the Lord, and 
''the wall of Je-ru'sa-lem round about. 

2 Only ^the people sacrificed in high places, 
because there was no house built unto the 
name of the 3 Lord, until those days. 

3 And Sol'o-mon d loved the 3 Lord, walking 
in the statutes of 4 Da'vid his father: only he 
sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. 

4 ' 5 And the king went to Gib'e-on to sacri- 
fice there; for that was the great "high place: 
a thousand 'burnt offerings did Sol'o-mon offer 
upon that altar. 

5 f In c Gib'e-on the 3 Lord appeared to Sol'- 
o-mon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask 
/what I shall give thee. 

6 And SSl'o-mon #said, Thou hast shewed 
unto thy servant Da'vid my father great 
mercy, according as he walked before thee in 
truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness 
of heart with thee ; and thou hast kept for him 
this great kindness, that thou hast given him 
a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 

7 And now, 3 Lord my God, thou hast made 
thy servant king instead of Da'vid my father: 
and I am but a little 8 child: I know not how 
''to go out or come in. 



and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for bis name 
shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his 
days. (I Chr. 22:9.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor coun- 
sel against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) 

m. And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people 
passed over; the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and 
all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness. (II Sam. 
15:23.) When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his 
disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he 
entered, and his disciples. (Jno. 18:1.) 

n. For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be 
surely put to death; he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood 
shall be upon him. (Lev. 20:9.) And David said unto him, Thy blood 
be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I 
have slain the Lord's anointed. (II Sam. 1:16.) 

o. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely mine oath 
that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will 
I recompense upon his own head. (Ezek. 17:19.) 

p. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent 
dealing shall come down upon his own pate. (Ps. 7:16.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it 
shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the 
Lord done this unto this land, and to this house? (I Ks. 9:8.) For 
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with 
fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for 
a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife (16). But Pharaoh's daugh- 
ter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had 
built for her; then did he build Millo. (I Ks. 9:16, 24.) 

b. And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; 
for to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Millo, and 
the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo and Gezer. (I Ks. 
9:15.) 



c. What man soever there he of the house of Israel, that killeth an 
ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp, 
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 
to offer an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; 
blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that 
man shall be cut off from among his people; To the end that the chil- 
dren of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open 
field, even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of 
the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for 
peace offerings unto the Lord. (Lev. 17:3-5.) Take heed to thyself that 
thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest; but in 
the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou 
shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I com- 
mand thee. (Dt. 12:13, 14.) 

d. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with, all thine heart and 
with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Dt. 6:5.) O love the Lord, 
all ye his saints; for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully 
rewardeth the proud doer. (Ps. 31:23.) And we know that all things 
work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the 
called according to his purpose. (Rom. 8:28.) But if any man love 
God, the same is known of him. (I Cor. 8:3.) 

e. That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had 
appeared unto him at Gibeon. (I Ks. 9:2.) And the Lord was angry 
with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, 
which had appeared unto him twice. (I Ks. 11:9.) 

f. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what 
ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (Jno. 15:7.) 

g. And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shown great mercy unto 
David my father, and hast made .me to reign in his_ stead. (II Chr. 
1:8.) Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus 
saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following 
the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel; And I was with thee 
whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of

8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy 
people which thou hast chosen, a great people, 
that cannot he numbered nor counted for mul- 
titude. 

9 Give therefore thy servant an °understand- 
ing heart to judge thy people, that I may dis- 
cern between good and bad: for who is able 
to judge this thy so great a people? 

10 And the speech pleased the 3 Lord, that 
Sol'o-mon had asked this thing. 

11 And God said unto him. Because thou 
hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for 
thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for 
thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine ene- 
mies; but hast asked for thyself c 'understand- 
ing to discern judgment; 

12 Behold, I have done according to thy 
words: lo, f I have given thee a wise and an 
understanding heart; so that there was none 
11 like thee before thee, neither ' after thee shall 
any arise like unto thee. 

13 And I have also -'given thee that which 
thou hast not asked, both riches and honour: 
so that there shall not be any among the kings 
like unto thee all thy days. 

14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to 
keep my statutes and my commandments, as 
thy father Da'vid did walk, then I will length- 
en "thy days. 

15 And Sol'o-mon awoke; and, behold, it was 
a dream. And he came to Je-ru'sa-lem. and 
stood before the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord, and offered up burnt "offerings, and 
offered peace "offerings, and 7: made a feast to 
all his servants. 

16 U 14 Then came there two women, that 
were harlots, unto the king, and stood before 
him. 

17 And the one woman said, my lord, I 
and this woman dwell in one house; and I was 
delivered of a child with her in the house. 

18 And it came to pass the third day after 
that I was delivered, that this woman was de- 
livered also: and we were together; there was 
no stranger with us in the house, save we two

19 And this woman's child died in the night ; 
because she overlaid it. 

20 And she arose at midnight, and took my 
son from beside ' me, while thine handmaid 
slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her 
dead child in my bosom. 

21 And when I rose in the morning to give 
my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when 
I had considered it in the morning, behold, it 
was not my son, which I did bear. 

22 And the other woman said, Nay; but the 
living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And 
this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the 
living is my son. Thus they spake before the 
king. 

23 Then said the king. The one saith. This 



9. Ability to consider, to per- 
ceive, to understand, to be able to 
render justice. 



10. Xot that his wisdom was su- 
pernatural to the extent that it re- 
quired no effort upon his part: the 
ability was supernatural, its develop- 
ment he must accomplish himself. 



11. His latter days were so sinful 
that lie failed to meet the conditions \ 
of long continued prosperity. 



12. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
jrrief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



13. Thanksgiving offering of one in 
the enjoyment of peace, afforded by 
a clear conscience, therefore offered 
to God in gratitude for blessings re- 
ceived. 



14. Vs. 16-28. Solomon's judicial 
sagacity as shown by his verdict to

Ch. 4. B. C. 1014. 

XOTE. — In this ch. is given a list 
of the chief officers of the reign of 
Solomon, which is doubtless intro- 
duced thus early in his j-eign for the 
purpose of showing the power, bril- 
liancy and glory of it. 



1. Solomon was the only king of 
whom this was true, throughout his 
whole reign. 



is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: 
and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the 
dead, and my son is the living. 

24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. 
And they brought a sword before the king. 

25 And the king said, Divide the living child 
in tv.-o, and give half to the one, and half to 
the other. 

26 Then spake the woman whose the living 
child was unto the king, for 'her "bowels 
yearned upon her son, and she said, my lord, 
give her the living child, and in no wise slay 
it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine 
nor thine, but divide it. 

27 Then the king answered and said, Give 
her the living child, and in no wise slay it: 
she is the mother thereof. 

28 And all Is'ra-el heard of the judgment 
which the king had judged; and they feared 
the king : for they saw that the wisdom of God 
was in him, to do judgment. 

CHAPTER 4. 
Solomon's princes. 7 His twelve officers for 
provision. 20, 24 The peace and largeness 
of his kingdom. 22 His daily provision. 26 
His stables. 29 His wisdotn. 

1 So king Sol'o-mon was king 1 over all is'- 
ra-el. 

2 And these were the princes which he had; 
Az-a-ri'ah the son of Za'dok the priest, 

3 El-i-ho'reph and A-hi'ah, the sons of Shi"- 
sha, scribes; Je-hosh'a-phat the son of A-hiTud, 
the recorder. 

4 And Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da was 
over the host: and Za'dSk and A-bi'a-thar were 
the priests: 

•5 And Az-a-ri'ah the son of Na'than was 
over the officers: and Za bud the son of Na'than 
was principal officer, and the king's friend: 

6 And A-hi'shar was over the household: 
and Ad-o-ni'ram the son of A D '<te was over the 
tribute. 

7 % And Sol'o-mon had twelve officers over 
all Is'ra-el, which provided wictuals for the 
king and his household: each man his month 
in a year made provision. 

8 And these are their names: The son of 
Hur, in mount E'nhra^im: 

9 The son of DeTtar, in MaTraz, and in Sha- 
al'bim, and Beth-she'mesh, and E'lon-beth-ha- 
nan: 

10 The son of He'sed, in Ar'u-both; to him 
pertained So'choh, and all the land of He'- 
pher : 

11 The son of A-bin'a-dab, in all the region 
of Dor; which had Ta'phath the daughter of 
Sol'o-mon to wife: 

12 Ba'a-na the son of A-hi'lud; to him per- 
tained Ta'a-nach and Me-gid'do, and all Beth- 
shean, which is by Zar'ta-nah beneath Jez'- 



tby sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the 
great men that are in the earth. Moreover I will appoint a place for 
my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place 
of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wicked- 
ness afflict them any more, as beforetime, And as since the time that I 
commanded judges to be over my people Israel and have caused thee 
to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will 
make thee an house. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt 
sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall 
proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall 
build an house for my name, and I will stahlish the throne of his 
kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he 
commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the 
stripes of the children of men; But my mercy shall not depart away from 
him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine 
house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy 
throne shall be established for ever. According to all these words, and 
according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. (II Sam. 
7:S-17.j 

h. Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of ail flesh, set a man over 
the congregation, Which may go out before them, and which may go in 
before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them 
in: that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no 
shepherd. fXum 

i. And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding 
much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea 
shore. And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children 



of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt (29, 30). And there 
came of all people "to hear the wisdom of Solomon from all kings of Un- 
earth, which had heard of his wisdom. (I Ks. 4:29, 30. 34.) And the 
Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him : and there was peace 
between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. 
(I Ks. 5:12.) So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for 
riches and for wisdom. And all the earth sought to Solomon to hear 
his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. (I Ks. 10:23, 24.) I com- 
muned with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, 
and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in 
Jerusalem; yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowl- 
edge. And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and 
folly; I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. (Ecc. 1:16, 17.) 

j. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 8:33.) 

k. And it came to pass the third day. which was Pharaoh's birth- 
day, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the 
head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 
(Gen. 40:20.) In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all 
his princes and his servants, the power of Persia and Media, the no- 
bles and princes of the provinces, being before him. (Esth. 1:3.) And 
when a convenient day was come that Herod on his birthday made a 
supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee. Oik. 
6:21.) 

1. And Joseph made haste: for his bowels did yearn upon his 
brother: and he sought where to weep: and he entered into his cham- 
ber, and wept there. (Gen. 43:30.) How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?

re-el, from Beth-she'an to A'bel-me-ho'lah, even 
unto the place thatis beyond Jokne-am: 

13 The son of Ge'ber, in Ra^moth-gil'e-ad; 
to him pertained the towns of Ja'ir the son of 
Ma-nas'seh, which are in Gll'e-ad; to him also 
pertained "the region of Ar'gob, which is in 
Ba'shan, ^threescore great cities with walls and 
brasen bars: 

14 A-hm'a-dab the son of Id'do had Ma-ha- 
na'im : 

15 A-him'a-az was in Naph'ta-li; he also 
took Bas'math the daughter of Sol'o-mon to 
wife : 

16 Ba'a-nah the son of Hu'shai was in Ash- 
er and in A^loth : 

17 Je-hosh'a-phat the son of Par'u-ah, in 
Is'sa-char: 

18 Shim'e-I the son of E'lah, in Ben'ja-min: 

19 Ge'ber the son of U'ri was in the country 
of Gil'e-ad, in the country of 6 Si'hon king of 
the Am'or-Ites, and of Og king of Ba'shan; and 
he was the only officer which was in the land. 

20 IPJu'dah and Is'ra-el were many, c as the 
4 sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating 
and ^drinking, and making merry. 

21 And Sol'o-mon reigned f over all king- 
doms from the river unto the landof the Phi- 
lis'tines, and unto the border of E'gypt: they 
brought presents, and served Sol'o-mon all the 
days of his life. 

22 1 And Sol'o-mon's provision for one day 
was thirty 'measures of fine flour, and "three- 
score measures of meal, 

23 Ten fat 7 oxen, and twenty oxen out of the 
pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, 
and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl. 

24 For he had dominion over all the region 
on this side the river, from TIph'sah even to 
Az'zah, over all the kings on this side the 
river: and he had peace on all sides round 
about him. 

25 And Ju'dah and Is'ra-el dwelt safely, 
every man underpins s vine and under his fig 
tree, from Dan even to Be'er-she'ba, all the 
days of Sol'o-mon. 

26 II And Sol'o-mon had forty thousand stalls 
of 'horses for his chariots, and twelve thou- 
sand horsemen. 

27 And those officers provided victual for 
king Sol'o-mon, and for all that came unto 
king Sol'o-mon's table, every man in his month: 
they lacked nothing. 

28 Barley also and straw for the horses and 
dromedaries brought they unto the place where 
the officers were, every man according to his 
charge. 

29 II And God gave Sol'o-mon wisdom and 
understanding exceeding much, and largeness 
of J heart, even as the sand that is on the sea 
shore. 



2. "With my own eyes I have seen 
and know this statement to be lit- 
erally true. The cities are there to 
this day. Some of them retain the 
ancient names recorded iu the Bibla. 
Bashan is literally crowded .vith 
towns and large villages, and. though 
the vast majority of. them are desert- 
ed, they are not ruined. Many of the 
houses in the ancient cities of Bashan 
are perfect, as if only finished yester- 
day; the walls are sound, the roofs 
unbroken, the doors, and even the win- 
dow shutters, in their places. The 
walls are from five to eight feet 
thick, built of large, square blocks 
of basalt; the roofs are formed of 
slabs of the same material, hewn like 
planks, and reaching from wall to 
wall; the very doors and window shut- 
ters are of stone, hung upou pivots 
projecting above and below. Some 
of these ancient cities have from 
200 to 500 houses still perfect, but 
not a man to dwell in them. On one 
occasion, from the battlements of the 
castle of Salpah, I counted some 
30 towns and villages, dotting the 
surface of the vast plain, many of 
them almost as perfect as when they 
were built, and yet for more than 
five centuries there has not been a 
single inhabitant in one of them.'.'

the sea shore." 

5. About 340 bushels.

Ch. 5. B. C. 1014. 

NOTE. — In this ch. we are given 
the preparations for building the tem- 
ple, while the three following chs. de- 
tail the building and dedication of it. 
The temple was to be the central 
seat of national worship and hence 
designed to be the chief factor in 
molding the religious life of the He- 
brew' race. Its building was the chief 
act of Solomon's reign. It was built 
on Oman's thrashing floor, where 
David had seen the angel of Jehovah, 
II. Chr. 3:1 — "Then Solomon began to 
build the house of the Lord at Jerus- 
alem in mount Moriah. where the Lord 
appeared unto David, his father, in 
the place that David had prepared in 
the thrashing floor or Oman, the Jeb- 
usite. " 

1. David was morally incapacita- 
ted on account of his many wars and 
because of much blood which he had 
shed before Jehovah. (I Chr. 22 :S) — 
"But the word of the Lord came to 
him saying. Thou hast shed blood 
abundantly and hast made great 
wars; thou shalt not build an house 
unto my name, because thou hast 
shed much blood upon the earth in 
my sight." 

2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



30 And Sol'o-mon's wisdom excelled the wis- 
dom of all the children of the east country, and 
all the wisdom of E'gypt. 

31 For he was wiser than all men; than 
Ethan the Ez'ra-hlte, and He'man, and Char- 
col, and Dar'da, the sons of Ma'hol: and his 
fame was in all nations round about. 

32 And he spake three ^'thousand proverbs : 
and his songs were a thousand and five. 

33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar 
tree that is in Leb'a-non even unto the 
hyssop that springeth out of the wall : he spake 
also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping 
things, and of fishes. 

34 And ^there came of all people to hear 
the wisdom of Sol'o-mon, from all kings of the 
earth, which had heard of his wisdom. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 Hiram, sending to congratulate Solomon, is 
certified of his purpose to build the temple, 
and desired to furnish him with timber 
thereto. 7 Hiram furnisheth him with trees. 
18 The number of Solomon's workmen and 
labourers. 

1 And Hi'ram king of Tyre sent his servants 
unto Sol'o-mon ; for he had heard that they 
had anointed him king in the room of his 
father: for Hi'ram was ever a lover of Da'vid. 

2 And Sol'o-mon "sent to Hi'ram, saying, 

3 Thou knowest how that Da'vid my father 
6 could mot build an house unto the name of the 
2 Lord his God for the wars which were about 
him on every side, until the 2 Lord put them 
under the soles of his feet. 

4 But now the Lord my God hath given me 
c rest on every side, so that there is neither 
adversary nor evil occurrent. 

5 And, behold, I ''purpose to build an house 
unto the name of the "Lord my God, as e the 
2 Lord spake unto Da'vid my father, saying, 
Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in 
thy room, he shall build an house unto my 
name. 

6 Now therefore command thou that they 
hew me cedar trees out of Leb'a-non; and my 
servants shall be with thy servants: and unto 
thee will I give hire for thy servants accord- 
ing to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou 
knowest that there is not among us any that 
can skill to hew timber like unto the SI-do'ni- 
an§. 

7 If And it came to pass, when Hi'ram heard 
the words of Sol'o-mon, that he rejoiced great- 
ly, and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, 
which hath given unto Da'vid a wise son over 
this great people. 

8 And Hi'ram sent to Sol'o-mon, saying, I 
have considered the things which thou sentest 
to me for: and I will do all thy desire con- 



how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Adrnah?-how 
shall I set thee as Zeboim? Mine heart is turned within me, my repent- 
ings are kindled together. (Hos. 11:8.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. And we took all his cities at that time, there was riot a city 
which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, 
the kingdom of Og in Bashan. (Dt. 3:4.) 

b. And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the 
Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan from the river of Anion 
unto mount Hermon. (Dt. 3:8.) 

c. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will 
multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is 
UDon the sea shore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. 
(Gen. 22:17. j 

d. And there they were with David three days, eating and drink- 
ing: for their brethren had prepared for them. (I Chr. 12:39.) But they 
shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none 
shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath 
spoken it. (Mic. 4:4.) 

e. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, say- 
ing, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto 
the great river, the river Euphrates. (Gen. 15:18.) From the wilder- 
ness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, 
all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going 
down of the sun, shall be your coast. (Josh. 1:4.) He shall have domin- 
ion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 
(Ps. 72:8.) 

f. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the peo- 
ple to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: for- 



asmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no 
more that way. (Dt. 17:16.) 

g. And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon 
concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard 
questions. (I Ks. 10:1.) And all the kings of the earth sought the 
presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart. 
(II Chr. 9:23.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou 
didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build 
him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. (II Chr. 2:3.) 

b. Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou 
build me an house for me to dwell in? (II Sam. 7:5.) But the word of 
the Lord came to me, saying. Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast 
made great wars; 'thou shalt not build an house unto my name, be- 
cause thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. (I Chr. 
22:8.) 

c. Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; 
and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name 
shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his 
days. (I Chr. 22:9.) 

d. Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God, to 
dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the 
continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and eve- 
ning, on the sabbath, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts 
of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. (II Chr 
2:4.) 

e. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the 
throne of his kingdom for ever. (II Sam. 7:13.)

cerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber 
of fir. 

9 My servants shall bring them down from 
Leba-non unto the sea: fand I will convey 
them by sea in floats unto the place that thou 
shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be 
discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: 
and thou shalt accomplish my desire, »in giving 
food for my household. 

10 So Hi'ram gave Sol'o-mon cedar trees and 
fir trees according to all his desire. 

11 And Sol'o-mon gave Hi'ram twenty thou- 
sand measures of wheat for food to his house- 
hold, and twenty measures of pure oil : thus 
gave Sol'o-mon to Hi'ram year by year. 

12 And the "Lord gave Sol'o-mon wisdom, as 
he promised him : and there was peace between 
Hi'ram and S51'o-mon; and they two made a 
league together. 

13 *~ 3 And king Sol'o-mon raised a levy out 
of all Is'ra-el; and the levy was thirty thou- 
sand men. 

14 And he sent them to Leb'a-non, ten thou- 
sand a month by courses: a month they were 
in Leb'a-non, and two months at home: and 
Ad-o-ni'ram was over the levy. 

15 And Sol'o-mon had threescore and ten 
thousand that bare burdens, ?l and fourscore 
thousand hewers in the mountains; 

16 Beside the chief of Sol'o-mon's officers 
which were over the work, three thousand and 
three hundred, which ruled over the people 
that wrought in the work. 

17 And the king commanded, and they 
brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed 
stones, to lay the foundation of the house. 

18 And Sol'o-mon's builders and Hi'ram's 
builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers : 
so they prepared timber and stones to build 
the house.

chambers thereof. 15 The ceiling and adorn- 
ing of it. 23 The cherubim. 31 The doors.

1 And it came to pass in the four hundred 
and eightieth year after the children of Is'ra-el 
were come out of the land of E'gypt, in the 
fourth year of Sol'o-mon's reign over Is'ra-el, 
in the month Zif, which is the second month, 
that he began to build the house of the '"Lord. 

2 And the house which king Sol'o-mon built 
for the ^ord, the length thereof was three- 
score cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty 
3 cubits, and the height thereof "thirty cubits. 

3 And the. porch 5 before the temple of the 
house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, 



3. About 2.222 bushels. 



4. About 1,560 gal. 



5. Vs. 13-1S, the laborers of Leb- 
anon. 



6. These were not Israelites but 
foreigners dwelling in the land; ac- 
cording to II Chr. 2:17. there were 
153.600 of these. 70,000 who bore bur- 
dens, SO, 000 were hewers and the re- 
maining 3,600 were overseers. 



Ch. 6. B. C. 1012-1005. 

XOTE. — This ch. is devoted to a 
description of the temple, which was 
the first and greatest work of Solo- 
mon. It had been David's purpose 
and desire to build the temple, but 
he had been told by Jehovah, that he 
had shed too much blood to be al- 
lowed to build it. (I Chr. 22 :S.) 

In all measurements of the temple 
the cubit is about is inches. 



1. Jehovah, tlie covenant-name of 
God. 



About 90 feet. 



About 30 feet. 



4. About 45 feet. These dimen- 
sions are just double those of the 
tabernacle. 



5. The large vestibule or entrance 
in front of the temple. According to 
II Chr. 3:4. the porch was 120 cubits 
or ISO ft. high. 



6. Openings of concealed network. 



7. Holy of holies. 



S. That is. the lower story of the 
wing. 



according to the breadth of the house; and ten 
cubits was the breadth thereof before the 
house. 

4 And for the house he made "windows "of 
narrow lights. 

5 r And against the wall of the house he 
built chambers round about, against the walls 
of the house round about, both of the temple 
and of the T oracle: and he made chambers 
round about: 

6 The nethermost chamber was five cubits 
broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, 
and the third was seven cubits broad : for with- 
out in the wall of the house he made narrow 
rests round about, that the beams should not 
be fastened in the walls of the house. 

7 And the house, when it was in building, 
was built of stone made ready before it was 
brought thither: so that there was neither 
hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in 
the house, while it was in building. 

8 The door for the middle chamber was in 
the right side of the house: and they went up 
with winding stairs into the middle chamber, 
and out of the middle into the third. 

9 So he built the house, and finished it; and 
covered the house with beams and boards of 
cedar. 

10 And then he built chambers against all 
the house, five cubits high: and they rested on 
the house with timber of cedar. 

11 r And the word of the Lord came to 
Sol'o-mon, saying, 

12 Concerning this house which thou art in 
building, if thou wilt Walk in my statutes, and 
execute my judgments, and h keep all my com- 
mandments to walk in them; then will I per- 
form my word with thee, which I spake unto 
David thy father: 

13 And °I will dwell among the children of 
Is'ra-el, and will not ^forsake my people Is'- 
ra-el. 

14 So Sol'o-mon built the house, and fin- 
ished it. 

15 And he built the walls of the house with- 
in with boards of cedar, both the floor of the 
house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he 
covered them on the inside with wood, and 
covered the floor of the house with planks of 
fir. 

16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides 
of the house, both the floor and the walls with 
boards of cedar: he even built them for it 
within, even for the oracle, even for the most 
'holy place. 

17 And the house, that is, the temple before 
it, was forty cubits long. 

18 And the cedar of the house within was 



f. And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt 
need; and we will bring it to thee in notes by sea to Joppa; and thou 
shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. (II Chr. 2:16.) 

g. They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; 
and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of 
Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according 
to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia. (Ezra 3:7.) And 
Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they 
came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's 
chamberlain their friend, desired peace: because their country was 
nourished by the king's country. (Acts 12:20.) 

h. And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Per- 
izzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel. 
Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the chil- 
dren of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did 
Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day. (I Ks. 9:20, 21.) 
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, 
after the numbering wherewith Dav:d his father had numbered them; 
and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand 
and six hundred. And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be 
bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the moun- 
tain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a 
work. (II Chr. 2:17, 18.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to 
their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and 
windows were round about inward; and upon each post were palm 
trees. (Ezek. 40:16.) 

b. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

C. Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant 



David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall 
not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so 
that thy children take heed to their wav to walk in my law, as thou 
hast walked before me. (II Chr. 6:16.) And I heard a great voice out 
of heaven saying. Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he 
will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself 
shall be with them, and be their God. (Rev. 21:3.) 

d. Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: 
for the Lord tny God, he it is that doth go with thee; .he will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) Thou shalt not be afraid of them: 
but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and 
unto all Egypt. (Dt. 7:18.) And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor 
be dismayed, be strong and of good courage; for thus shall the Lord 
do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. (Josh. 7.0:25.) Have not 
I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, 
neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whitherso- 
ever thou goest. (Josh. 1:9.) 

e. And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, 
that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before 
the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not; for I will 
appear in a cloud upon the mercy seat. (Lev. 16:2.) And the priests 
brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, into the 
oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even unto the wings of the 
cherubim. (I Ks. 8:6.) And he made the most holy house, the length 
whereof was according to the breadth of the house, 20 cubits, and the 
breadth thereof 20 cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, 
amounting to six hundred talents. (II Chr. 3:8.) And of this measure 
shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the 
breadth of ten thousand; and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most 
holy place. (Ezek. 45:3.) And after the second vail, the tabernacle 
which is called the Holiest of all. (Heb. 9:3.)

carved with knops and open flowers: all was 
cedar; there was no stone seen. 

19 And the oracle he prepared in the house 
within, to set there the ark of the covenant of 
the Lord. 

20 And the oracle in the forepart was twen- 
ty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in 
breadth, and twenty cubits in the height there- 
of: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so 
covered the altar which was of cedar. 

21 So Sol'o-mon overlaid the house within 
with pure gold: and he made a partition by 
the chains of gold before the oracle; and he 
overlaid it with gold. 

. 22 And the whole "house he overlaid with 
gold, until he had finished all the house: also 
the whole altar that was by the 'oracle he 
overlaid with gold. 

23 If And within the 'oracle he made ''two 
"cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high. 

24 And "five cubits was the one wing of the 
cherub, and five "cubits the other wing of the 
cherub: from the uttermost part of the one 
wing unto the uttermost part of the other were 
ten cubits. 

25 And the other cherub was ten "cubits: 
both the cherubim were of one measure and 
one size. 

. 26 The height of the one cherub was ten 
'-cubits, and so was it of the other cherub. 

27 And he^set the cherubim within the inner 
house: and they stretched forth the wings of 
the cherubim, so that the wing of the one 
touched the one wall, and the wing of the 
other cherub touched the other wall; and their 
wings touched one another in the midst of the 
house. 

28 And he overlaid the "cherubim with gold. 

29 And he carved all the walls of the house 
round about with carved figures of cherubim 
and palm trees and open flowers, within and 
without. 

30 And the floor of the house he overlaid 
with gold, within and without. 

31 f And for the entering of the 'oracle he 
made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side 
posts were a fifth part of the wall. 

32 The two doors also were of olive tree; 
and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim 
and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid 
them with gold, and spread gold upon the 
cherubim, and upon the palm trees. 

33 So also made he for the door of the tem- 
ple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the 
wall. 

34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the 
*>two leaves of the one door were folding, and 
the two leaves of the other door were folding. 

35 And he carved thereon cherubim and 
palm trees and open flowers: and covered them 
with gold fitted upon the carved work. 

36 If And he built the inner court with three 
rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar 
beams.

of the house of the 'Lord laid, in the month 
Zif: 

38 And in the eleventh year, in the month 
Bui, which is the eighth month, was the house 
finished throughout all the parts thereof, and 
according to all the fashion of it. So was he 
seven years in building it. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 The building of Solomon's house. 2 Of the 
house of Lebanon. 6 Of the porch of pillars. 
7 Of the porch of judgment. 8 Of the house 
for Pharaoh's daughter. 13 Hiram's work 
of the two pillars. 23 Of the molten sea. 
27 Of the ten bases. 38 Of the ten lavers, 
40 and all the vessels. 

1 But Sol'o-mon was building his own house 
'thirteen "years, and he finished all his house. 

2 If He built also the house of the forest of 
"Leba-non; the length thereof was an 3 hundred 
cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty 4 cubits, 
and the height thereof thirty "cubits, upon four 
rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon 
the pillars. 

3 And it was covered with cedar above upon 
the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen 
in a row. 

4 And there were windows in three rows, 
and light was against light in three ranks. 

5 And all the doors and posts were square, 
with the windows: and light was against light 
in three ranks. 

6 f And he made a porch of pillars; the 
length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth 
thereof thirty cubits : and the porch was before 
them : and the other pillars and the thick beam 
were before them. 

7 1f Then he made a porch for the 6 throne 
where he might judge, even the porch of judg- 
ment: and it was covered with cedar from one 
side of the floor to the other. 

8 If And his house where he dwelt had an- 
other court within the porch, which was of the 
like work. Sol'o-mon made also an house c for 
Pha'raoh's daughter, whom he had taken to 
wife, like unto this porch. 

9 All these were of costly stones, according 
to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with 
saws, within and without, even from the foun- 
dation unto the coping, and so on the outside 
toward the great court. 

10 And the ^foundation was of costly stones, 
even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and 
stones of eight cubits. 

11 And above were costly stones, after the 
measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 

12 And the great court round about was 
with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of 
cedar beams, both for the inner court of the 
house of the Lord, and for the porch of the 
house. 

13 If "And king Sol'o-mon sent and fetched 
Hi'ram out of Tyre. 

14 He was a widow's son of the tribe of 
Naph'ta-li, and his father was a man of Tyre, 
a worker in brass: and c he was filled with 



f. And he made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece 
made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat (7). One cherub on 
the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side; 
out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof 
(8). And the cherubim spread out their wings . on high, and covered 
with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; 
even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubim. (Ex. 
37:7-9.) 

g. And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors (23). And the 
doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the 
one door, and two leaves for the other door (24). And there were made 
on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like 
as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face 
of the porch without. (Ezek. 41:23-25.) 

Chapter 1. 

a. And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon 
had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the king's house. 
(I Ks. 9:10.) I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted 
me vineyards: I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees 
in them of all kind of fruits. (Ecc. 2:4, 5.) 

b. Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it 



with the best gold. (I Ks. 10:18.) For there are set thrones of judg- 
ment, the thrones of the house of David. (Ps. 122:5.) A king that sit- 
teth in the throne of judgment seattereth away all evil with his eyes. 
(Prov. 20:8.) Of the increase of his government and peace there shall 
be no end. Upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order 
it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth 
even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Is. 
9:7.) 

c. And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city 
of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, My wife 
shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places 
are holy, whereunto the ark of the Lord hath come. (II Chr. 8:11.) 

d. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a 
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure founda- 
tion; he that believeth shall not make haste. (Is. 28:16.) According to 
the grace of God which is giveu unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I 
have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every 
man take heed how he buildeth thereupon (10). For other foundation 
can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 
3:10, 11.)

wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to 
work all works in brass. And he came to king 
Sol'o-mon, and wrought all his work. 

1-5 For he cast '"two pillars of brass, of 
eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of 
twelve- cubits did compass either of them about. 

16 And he made two chapiters of molten 
brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the 
height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and 
the height of the other chapiter was five 
cubits : 

17 And nets of checker work, and wreaths 
of chain work, for the chapiters which were 
upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one 
chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter. 

18 And he made the pillars, and two rows 
round about upon 'the one network, to cover 
the chapiters that were upon the top, with 
pomegranates: and so did he for the other 
chapiter. 

19 And the chapiters that were upon the top 
of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, 
four cubits. 

20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars 
had pomegranates also above, over against the 
belly which was by the network: and the pome- 
granates were s'two hundred in rows round 
about upon the other chapiter. 

21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of 
the temple: and he set upthe right pillar, and 
called the name thereof Ja'chin : and he set up 
the left pillar, and called the name thereof 
^Bo'az. 

22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily 
work: so was the work of the pillars finished. 

23 ""And he made 'a molten sea, ten cubits 
from the one brim to the other: it was round 
all about, and his height was five cubits: and 
a line of thirty cubits did compass it round 
about. 

24 And under the brim of it round about 
there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, 
compassing the sea round about: the knops 
were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 

25 It stood upon -'twelve oxen, three looking 
toward the north, and three looking toward the 
west, and three looking toward the south, and 
three looking toward the east: and the sea 
was set above upon them, and all their hinder 
parts were inward. 

26 And it was an hand breadth thick, and 
the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of 
a cup, with flowers 7 of lilies: it contained s two 
thousand baths. 

27 *~ And he made ten bases of brass; four 
cubits was the length of one base, and four 
cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits 
the height of it. 

28 And the work of the bases was on this 
manner : they had borders, and the borders 
were between the ledges:

the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim: and 
upon the ledges there was a base above: and 
beneath the lions and oxen were certain addi- 
tions made of thin work. 

30 And every base had four brasen wheels, 
and plates of brass: and the four comers 
thereof had undersetters : under the- laver were 
undersetters molten, at the side of every addi- 
tion. 

31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter 
and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof 
was round after the work of the base, a cubit 
and an half: and also upon the mouth of it 
were gravings with their borders, foursquare, 
not round. 

32 And under the borders were four wheels; 
and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to 
the base : and the height of a wheel was a cubit 
and half a cubit. 

33 And the work of the wheels was like the 
work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and 
their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, 
were all molten. 

34 And there were four undersetters to the 
four comers of one base: and the undersetters 
were of the very base itself. 

35 And in the top of the base was there a 
round compass of half a cubit high : and on 
the top of the base the ledges thereof and the 
borders thereof were of the same. 

36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, 
and on the borders thereof, he graved ?: cheru- 
bim, lions, and palm trees, according to the 
proportion of every one, and additions round 
about. 

37 After this manner he made the ten bases: 
all of them had one casting, one measure, and 
one size. 

38 *" Then made he 'ten lavers of brass : one 
laver contained forty °baths: and every laver 
was four "cubits: and upon every one of the 
ten bases one laver. 

39 And he put five bases on the right side of 
the house, and five on the left "side of the 
house: and he set the sea on the right side of 
the house eastward over against the "south. 

40 f And Hiram made the lavers, and the 
shovels, and the basons. So Hi'ram made an 
end of doing all the work that he made king 
Sol'o-mon for the house of the Lord: 

41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the 
chapiters that were on the top of the two pil- 
lars; and the two netwoi'ks, to cover the two 
bowls of the chapiters which were upon the 
top of the pillars; 

42 And four hundred pomegranates for the 
two networks, even two rows of pomegranates 
for one network, to cover the two bowls of the 
chapiters that were upon the pillars; 

43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the 
bases; 

44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the 
sea;

edge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understand- 
ing in all visions and dreams. (Dan. 1:17.) 

i. The height of the one pillar was 18 cubits, and the chapiter 
upon it was brass; and the height of the chapiter three cubits: and the 
wreathen work and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of 
brass; and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work. 
ill Ks. 25:17.) Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and 
fiv- cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them 
was five cubits. (II Chr. 3:15.) And concerning the pillars, the height 
of one pillar was eighteen cubits: and a fillet of twelve cubits did com- 
pass it: and the thickness thereof was four fingers; it was hollow. 
(Jer. 52:21.) 

g. And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all 
tli< pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

him mv new name. (Rev. 3:12.) 

i. And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and 
the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, did 



the Chaldecs break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon,

handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup. 
with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.

45 And the '"pots, and the shovels, and the 
basons: and all these vessels, which Hi'ram 
made to king Sol'o-mon for the house of the 
Lord, were of bright brass. 

46 In the plain of Jor'dan did the king cast 
them, in the clay ground between Suc'coth 
'and Zar'than. 

47 And Scl'o-mon left all the vessels un- 
weighed, because they were exceeding many: 
neither was the weight of the brass found out. 

48 And Sol'o-mon made all the vessels that 
pertained unto the house of the Lord: the 
altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon 
the shewbread was, 

49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on 
the right side, and five on the left, before the 
oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and 
the tongs of gold, 

50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the 
basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure 
gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors 
of the inner house, the most holy place, and for 
the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple. 

•51 So was ended all the work that king 
Sol'o-mon made for the house of the Lord. And 
Sol'o-mon brought in the things which Da'vid 
his father had dedicated; even the silver, and 
the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the 
treasures of the house of the Lord.

unto king Sol'o-mon in Je-ru'sa-lem, that they 
might bring °up the ark of the covenant of the 
'Lord out of the city of Da'vid, which is Zi'on.

wings over the place of the ark, and the cheru- 
bim covered the ark and the staves thereof 
above. 

8 And they drew out the staves, that the 
ends of the staves were seen out in the holy 

| place before the oracle, and they were not seen 
without: and there they are nmto this day. 

9 There was nothing in the ark save the two 
tables of stone, which Mo'se§ put there at 
Ho'reb, when the 'Lord made a covenant with 
the children of Is'ra-el, when they came out of 
the land of E'gypt. 

10 And it came to pass, when the priests 
were come out of the holy place, that the cloud 
filled the house of the 'Lord, 

11 So that the priests could not stand to 
minister because of the cloud: for the glory of 
the 'Lord had filled the house'of the 'Lord. ■ 

12 f Then spake Sol'o-mon, The 'Lord said 
that he would dwell c in the thick darkness. 

13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell 
in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever. 

14 And the king turned his face about, and 
blessed all the congregation of Is'ra-el: (and 
all the congregation of Is'ra-el stood;) 

15 And he said, Blessed be the 'Lord God of 
Is'ra-el, which spake with his mouth unto Da'- 
vid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled 
it, saying, 

16 Since ^the day that I brought forth my 
people is'ra-el out of E'gypt, I chose no city 
out of all the tribes of is'ra-el to build an 
house, that my name might be therein; but I 
chose Da'vid to be over my people is'ra-el. 

17 And it was in the heart of Da'vid my 
father to build an house for the name of the 
'Lord God of is'ra-el. 

18 And the 'Lord said unto Da'vid my father, 
Whereas it was in thine heart to build an 
house unto my name, thou didst well that it 
was in thine heart. 

19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the 
house; but thy son that shall come forth out 
of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my 
name. 

20 And the 'Lord hath performed his word 
that he spake, and I am risen up in the room 
of Da'vid my father, and sit on the throne of 
is'ra-el, as the 'Lord promised, and have built 
an house for the name of the 'Lord God of 
is'ra-el. 

21 And I have set there a place for the ark, 
wherein is f the covenant of the 'Lord, which he 
made with our fathers, when he brought them 
out of the land of E'gypt. 

22 H And Sol'o-mon stood before the altar of 
the Lord in the presence of all the congrega- 
tion of is'ra-el, and spread forth his hands 
toward heaven : 

23 3 And he said, 'Lord God of is'ra-el, there 
is fno God like thee, in heaven above, or on 
earth beneath, #who keepest covenant and 



thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the 
altar, and thou shalt put water therein. (Ex. 30:17, 18.). He made also 
ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash 
in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed 
in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. (II Chr. 4:6.) Xot 
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his 
mercy he saved us, bv the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the 
Holy Ghost. (Titus 3:5.) * 

m. And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his 
shovels, and his basons, and his fieshhooks, and his firepans: all the 
vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass. (Ex. 27:3.) In that day shall 
there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD: 
and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar 
(20). Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto 
the Lord of hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of 
them, and seethe therein; and in that day there shall be no more the 
Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 14:20, 21.) 

n. That the waters which came down from above stood and rose 
up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan; 
and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt 
sea. failed, and were cut off; and the people passed over right against 
Jericho. (Josh. 3:16.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, 
in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it; and David 
offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. (II Sam. 
6:17.) 



b. So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high 
place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the 
wilderness. (II Chr. 1:3.) 

c. And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, 
that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before 
the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not; for I will appear 
in the cloud upon the mercy seat. (Lev. 16:2.) He made darkness his 
secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick 
clouds of the skies. (Ps. 18:11..) Clouds and darkness are round about 
him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. (Ps. 
97:2.) 

d. Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of 
Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house 
in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a 
ruler over my people Israel. (II Chr. 6:5.) 

e. Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord vour God. that it may be there for a witness 
against thee. (Dt. 31:26.) 

f. Who is like unto thee. O Lord, among the gods? Who is like 
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Ex. 
15:11.) Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God; for there is none like 
thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we 
have heard with our ears. (II Sam. 7:22.) 

g. Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful 
God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and 
keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. (Dt. 7:9.) And

with all their heart: 

24 Who hast kept with thy servant Da'vid 
my father that thou promisedst him: thou 
spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled 
it with thine hand, as i: is this day. 

25 Therefore now, 'Lord God of Is'ra-el', 
keep with thy servant Da'vid my father that 
thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not 
fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne 
of Is'ra-el; so *that thy children take heed to 
their way, that they walk before me as thou 
hast walked before me. 

26 And now, God of Is'ra-el, let thy word, 
I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest 
unto thy servant Da'vid my father. 

27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? 
behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens can- 
not contain thee; how much less this house 
that I have builded? 

28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of 
thy servant, and to his supplication, Lord 
my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the 
prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee 
to day: 

29 That thine eyes may be open toward this 
house night and day, even toward the place of 
which thou hast said, My name shall be there: 
that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer 
which thy servant shall make toward this 
place. 

30 And hearken thou to the supplication of 
thy servant, and of thy people Is'ra-el, when 
they shall pray toward this place: and hear 
thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when 
thou hearest, forgive. 

31 *" If any man trespass against his neigh- 
bour, and an oath ^e laid upon him to cause 
him to swear, and the oath come before thine 
altar in this house: 

32 Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and 
judge thy servants, condemning ''the wicked, 
to bring his way upon his head; and justifying 
the righteous, to give him according to his 
righteousness. 

33 ""When thy people Is'ra-el be smitten 
down before the enemy, because they have 
sinned against thee, and shall turn again to 
thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and 
make supplication unto thee in this house: 

•34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive 
the sin of thy people Is'ra-el, and bring them 
again unto the land which thou gavest unto 
their fathers. 

35 *~When heaven is shut up, and there is 
no rain, because they have sinned against thee; 
if they pray toward this place, and confess thy 
name, and turn from their sin, when thou af- 
flictest them: 

36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive 
the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Is'- 
ra-el, that thou teach 'them the good way 
wherein they should walk, and give rain upon 
thy land, which thou hast given to thy people 
for an inheritance.

plague, whatsoever sickness there be; 

38 What prayer and supplication soever be 
made by any man, or by all thy people Is'ra-el, 
which shall know eveiy man the plague of his 
own heart, and spread forth his hands toward 
this house: 

39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling 
place, and forgive, and do, and give to every 
man according to his ways, whose heart thou 
knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest 
the -'"hearts of all the children of men;) 

40 That they may fear thee all the days that 
they live in the land which thou gavest unto 
our fathers. 

41 Moreover concerning a 6 stranger, that is 
not of thy people Is'ra-el, but cometh out of a 
far country for thy name's sake; 

42 i For they shall hear of thy great name, 
and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched 
out arm:) when he shall come and pray toward 
this house; 

43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, 
and do according to all that the stranger call- 
eth to thee for: that all people of the earth 
may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy 
people Is'ra-el; and that they may know that 
this house, which I have builded, is called by 
thy name. 

44 *~ If thy people go out to battle against 
their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send 
them, and shall pray unto the a Lord toward the 
city which thou hast chosen, and toward the 
house that I have built for thy name: 

45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer 
and their supplication, and maintain their 
cause. 

46 If they sin against thee, (for ^'there is 
no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry 
with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so 
that they cany them away captives unto the 
land of the enemy, far or near; 

47 *Yet if they shall bethink themselves in 
the land whither they were carried captives, 
and repent, and make supplication unto thee 
in the land of them that carried them captives, 
saying. We "have sinned, and have done per- 
versely, we have committed wickedness; 

48 And so return unto thee with all their 
heart, and with all their soul, in the land of 
their enemies, which led them away captive, 
and pray unto thee toward their land, which 
thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which 
thou hast chosen, and the house which I have 
built for thy name: 

49 Then hear thou their prayer and their 
"supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and 
maintain their cause, 

50 And forgive thy people that have sinned 
against thee, and all their transgressions

said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, 
that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe 
his commandments. (Xeh. 1:5.) Xow therefore, our God, the great, the 
mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not 
all the troubles seem little before thee that hath come upon us, on our 
kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on 
our fathers, and on all thv people, since the time of the kines of Assvria 
unto this day. /Xeh. 9:32.) 

h. If there be a controversy between men. and they come unto 
judgment, that the judges may judge them: then they shall justify the 
righteous, and condemn the wicked. (Dt. 25:1.) 

i. Teach me thy way. O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because 
of mine enemies. (Ps. 27:11.1 And an highway shall be there, and a 
way, and it shall be called The way of holiness: the unclean shall not 
pass over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men. though fools, 
shall not err therein. (Is. 35 :S.) Moreover as for me, God forbid that I 
should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach 
you the good and the right way (23). Only fear the Lord, and serve 
him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he hath 
done for you. (I Sam. 12:23, 24.) 

j. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or 
on the height of his stature: because I have refused him; for the Lord 
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, 



but the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) The Lord is in his 
holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eye- 
lids try, the children of men.* (Ps. 11:4.) I the Lord search the heart, 
I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and 
according to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 17:10.) 

k. Wb C an bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. (Job 
14:4.) If thou. Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 
(Ps. 130:3.) And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy 
sight shall no man living be justified. (Ps. 143:2.) Who can say. I have 
made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? fProv. 20:9.) For there 
is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. (Eec. 
7:20.) For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in 
word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole 
body. (Ja. 3:2.) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, 
and the truth is not in us. ( Jno. 1:8.) 

1. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their 
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and 
that also they have walked contrary unto me (40); Then will I remem- 
ber my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and 
also mv covenant with Abraham will I remember: and I will remembei 
the land. (Lev. 26:40, 42.)

carried them captive, that they may have com- 
passion on them: 

51 For they be thy people, and thine in- 
heritance, which thou broughtest forth out of 
Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: 

52 That thine eyes may be open unto the 
supplication of thy servant, and unto the sup- 
plication of thy people Is'ra-el, to hearken unto 
them in all that they call for unto thee. 

53 For thou didst separate them from among 
all the people of the earth, to be thine in- 
heritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Mo'- 
ses thy servant, when thou broughtest our 
fathers out of Egypt, 1 Lord God. 

54 And it was so, that when Sol'o-mon had 
made an end of praying all this prayer and 
supplication unto the 'Lord, he arose from 
before the altar of the 'Lord, from kneeling 
on his knees with his hands spread up to 
heaven. 

55 And he stood, and blessed all the congre- 
gation of Is'ra-el with a loud voice, saying, 

56 Blessed be the 'Lord, that hath given rest 
unto his people Is'ra-el, according to all that 
he promised: there °hath not failed one word 
of all his good promise, which he promised by 
the hand of Mo'ses his servant. 

57 The 'Lord our God be with us, as he was 
with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor 
forsake us: 

58 That he may ^incline our hearts unto 
him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his 
commandments, and his statutes, and his judg- 
ments, which he commanded our fathers. 

59 And let these my words, wherewith I 
have made supplication before the 'Lord, be 
nigh unto the l Lord our God day and night, 
that he maintain the cause of his servant, and 
the cause of his people is'ra-el at all times, 
as the matter shall require: 

60 That all the ^people of the earth may 
know that the 'Lord is God, and that there is 
none else. 

61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with 
the 'Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and 
to keep his commandments, as at this day. 

62 1 And the king, and all Is'ra-el with him, 
offered sacrifice before the Lord. 

63 And Sol'o-mon offered a sacrifice of 
^peace offerings, which he offered unto the 
'Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an 
hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the 
king and all the children of Is'ra-el dedicated 
the house of the 'Lord. 

64 The same day did the king hallow the 
middle of the court that was before the house 
of the 'Lord: for there he offered r burnt 
^offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of 
the peace offerings: because the brasen altar 
that was before the 'Lord was too little to re- 
ceive the burnt Offerings, and meat "'offerings, 
and the fat of the peace offerings. 

65 And at that time Sol'o-mon held a feast, 
and all Is'ra-el with him, a great congregation, 
from the entering in of Ha'math unto the

66 On the eighth day he sent the people

1 And it came to pass, when S51'o-mon had 
finished the building of the house of the 'Lord, 
and the king's house, and all Sol'o-mon's desire 
which he was pleased to do, 

2 That the 'Lord appeared to Sol'o-mon the 
second time, a as he had appeared unto him at 
Gib'e-on. 

3 And the 'Lord said unto him, H have heard 
thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast 
made before me: I have hallowed this house, 
which thou hast built, to put my name there 
for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall 
be there perpetually. 

4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as Da'vid 
thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in 
uprightness, to do according to all that I have 
commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes 
and my judgments: 

5 Then I will establish the throne of thy 
kingdom upon Is'ra-el for ever, c as I promised 
to Da'vid thy father, saying, There shall not 
fail thee a man upon the throne of Is'ra-el. 

6 But if ye shall at all turn from following 
me, ye or your children, and will not keep my 
commandments and my statutes which I have 
set before you, but go and serve other gods, 
and worship them: 

7 Then ^will I cut off Is'ra-el out of the land 
which I have given them; and this house, 
which I have hallowed for my name, will I 
cast out of my sight; and Is'ra-el shall be a 
proverb and a byword among all people: 

8 And at his house, which is high, every one 
that passeth by it shall be astonished, and 
shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the 
'Lord done thus unto this land, and to this 
house? 

9 And they shall answer, Because they for- 
sook the 'Lord their God, who brought forth 
their fathers out of the land of E'gypt, and 
have taken hold upon other gods, and have 
worshipped them, and served them: therefore 
hath the 'Lord brought upon them all this evil.

twenty years, when Sol'o-mon had built the 
two houses, the house of the 'Lord, and the 
king's house,

and with gold, according to all his desire,) 



o. But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the 
Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest 
from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety (10). 
Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to 
cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I com- 
mand you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and 
the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye 
vow unto the Lord. (Dt. 12:10, 11.) There failed not ought of any good 
thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came lo

p. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 
(Ps. 119:36.) O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself; 
it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) But this 
shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After 
those days, saith the Lord. I will put my law in their inward parts, and 
write it in their hearts: and will be their God, and they shall be mv

and in all the land of his dominion. 

20 And all the people that were left of the 
Am'or-ites, Hit'tites, Per'iz-zites, Hi'vites, and 
Jeb'u-sltes, which were not of the children of 
Is'ra-el, 

21 Their children that were left after them 
in the land, whom the children of Is'ra-el also 
were not able utterly to destroy, upon those 
did Sol'o-mon levy a tribute of ^bondservice 
unto this day. 

22 But of the children of Is'ra-el did Sol'o- 
mon make no bondmen : but they were men of 
war, and his servants, and his princes, and his 
captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his 
horsemen. 

23 These were the chief of the officers that 
were over Sol'o-mon's work, five hundred and 
fifty, which bare rule over the people that 
wrought in the work. 

24 r But Pha'raoh's daughter came up out 
of the city of Da'vid unto her house which 
Sol'o-mon had built for her: then did he build 
Mil '15. 

25 r And three 'times in a year did Sol'o- 
mon offer burnt 'offerings and peace "offerings 
upon the altar which he built unto the 'Lord, 
and he burnt incense upon the altar that was 
before the 2 Lord. So he finished the house. 

26 *~And king Sol'o-mon made a navy of 
ships in E'zi-on-ge'ber, which is beside E'loth, 
en the shore of the Bed sea, in the land of 
E'dom. 

27 And Hi'ram sent in the navy his serv- 
ants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, 
with the servants of Sol'o-mon. 

28 And they came to ^O'phir, and fetched 
from thence gold, four hundred and twenty 
talents, and brought it to king Sol'o-mon.

1 And when the "queen of She'ba heard of 
the fame of Sol'o-mon concerning the name of 
the "Lord, she came to prove 6 him with hard 
questions. 

2 And she came to Je-ru'sa-lem with a very 
great train, with camels that bare spices, and 
very much gold, and precious stones: and when 
she was come to Sol'o-mon, she communed with 
him of all that was in her heart. 

3 And Sol'o-mon told her all her questions: 
there was not any thing hid from the king, 
which he told her not. 

4 And when the queen of "'SheToa had seen all 
Sol'o-mon's wisdom, and the house that he had 
built, 

5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting 
of his servants, and the attendance of his min- 
isters, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, 
and his ascent by which he went up unto the 
house of the 2 Lord; there was no Tnore spirit 
in her. 

6 And she said to the king, It was a true 
report that I heard in mine own land of thy 
acts and of thy wisdom. 

7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I 
came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, 
the half was not told me: thy wisdom and 
prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard. 

8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy 
servants, which stand continually before thee, 
and that hear thy wisdom. 

9 Blessed f be the T.ord thy God, which de- 
lighteth in thee, to set thee on the throne of 
Is'ra-el: because the T_,ord loved Is'ra-el for 
ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judg- 
ment and justice. 

10 And she gave the king an hundred and 
twenty talents of gold, and of spices very 
great store, and precious stones : there came no 
more such abundance of spices as these which 
the queen of SheT^a gave to king Sol'o-mon. 

11 And the <mavy also of Hi'ram, that 
brought gold from O'phir, brought in from 
O'phir great plenty of 5 almug trees, and pre- 
cious stones. 

12 And the king made of the 5 almug trees 
pillars for the house of the 2 Lord, and for the 
king's house, harps also^and psalteries for 
singers: there came no such almug trees, nor 
were seen unto this day. 

13 And king S51'o-mon gave unto the queen 
of "Shetia all her desire, whatsoever she asked, 
beside that which Sol'o-mon gave her of his 
royal bounty. So she turned and went to her 
own country, she and her servants. 

14 T*Now the weight of gold that came to 
Sol'o-mon in one year was T six hundred three- 
score and six talents of gold, 

15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, 
and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and 
of all the kings of A-ralDi-a, and of the gov- 
ernors of the country. 

16 ""And king Sol'o-mon made two s hundred 
targets of beaten gold: six hundred 9 shekels of 
gold went to one target. 

17 And he made three hundred "shields of 
beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one 
shield: and the king put them in the e house of 
the forest of Leb'a-non. 



nd he said, Cursed be Canaan: a servant of servants shall he 
be unto his brethren. (Gen. 9:25.) Now these are the chief of the prov- 
ince that dwell in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one 
in his possession in their cities, to wit. Israel, the priests, and the 
Levites, and the Xethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants. 
(Xeh. 11:3.) 

f. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as 
the stones of the brooks. (Job 22:24 ) Kings' daughters were among 
thy honorable women; upon thy right hand • did stand the queen in 
gold of Ophir. (Ps. 45:9.) I will make a man more precious than fine 
gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. (Is. 13:12.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this 
generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from theuttermost j>arts 



of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon: and, behold, a greater than 
Solomon is here. (Mat. 12:42.) 

b. See b, ch. 8, Dt. 

c. And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, 
that he rejoiced greatly, and said. Blessed be the Lord this day, which 
hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. (I Ks. 5:7.) 

d. And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had 
knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon (27). And they 
came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty 
talents, and brought it to king Solomon. (I Ks. 9:27. 28.) 

e. He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon: the length 
thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and 
the height thereof thirty cub'its. upon four rows of cedar pillars, with 
cedar beams upon the pillars. (I Ks. 7:2.) ,

18 *j Moreover the king made a great throne 
of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 

19 The throne had six steps, and the top of 
the throne was round behind : and there were 
stays on either side on the place of the seat, 
and two lions stood beside the stays. 

20 And twelve lions stood there on the one 
side and on the other upon the six steps: there 
was not the like made in any kingdom. 

81 If And all king Sol'o-mon's drinking ves- 
sels were of gold, and all the vessels of the 
house of the forest of Leb'a-non were of pure 
gold; none were of silver: it was nothing ac- 
counted of in the days of Sol'o-mon. 

22 For the king had at sea a navy of Thiir'- 
shish with the navy of Hi'ram: once in three 
years came the navy of Thar'shish, bringing 
gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 

23 So king Sol'o-mon exceeded all the kings 
of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 

24 If And all the earth sought to S51'o-mon, 
to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his 
heart. 

25 And they brought every man his present, 
vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and gar- 
ments, and armour, and spices, horses, and 
mules, a rate year by year.. 

26 If And Sol'o-mon /gathered together char- 
iots and horsemen: and he had a thousand 
and four hundred chariots, and twelve thou- 
sand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities 
for chariots, and with the king at Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

27 And the king made silver to be in Je-ru'- 
sa-lem as stones, and cedars made he to be as 
the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for 
abundance. 

28_ If And S51'o-mon had horses brought out 
of E'gypt, and linen yarn: the king's mer- 
chants received the linen yarn at a price. 

29 And a chariot came up and went out of 
E'gypt for six "hundred shekels of silver, and 
an horse for an i 2 hunclred and fifty: and so 
for all the kings of the HIt'tTtes, and for the 
kings of Syr'i-a, did they bring them out by 
their means.

1 Solomon's ivives and concubines. 4 In his 
old age they draw him to idolatry. 14 Solo- 
mon's adversaries were Hadad, who was en- 
tertained in Egypt, 23 Rezon, who reigned 
in Damascus, 26 and Jeroboam, to wjiom 
Ahijah prophesied. 

1 But king Sol'o-mon loved "many strange 
women, together with the daughter of Pha'- 
raoh, women of the Mo'ab-Ttes, Am'mon-ites, 
E'dom-ites, Zi-do'ni-an§, and Hit'tltes;

NOTE. — Ch. 11 introduces us to the 
sins of Solomon — that darkest period 
of his whole career, so widely at va- 
riance with his early piety and glory. 
that the author of Chr. passes over 
it in silence. But i still his record 
stands as a warning to the vaiu pomp 
and glory of the world. II Cor. 10:12) 
— "Let him that thinketh he standeth. 
take heed lest he fall." The secret 
of Solomon's glory in the early part 
of his reign and his downfall in his 
latter life, is found in the fact that 
early in life he was rich toward God. 
but later he transferred his riches 
to gold and silver, horses and char- 
iots, wives and concubines, the riches 
and pleasure of life. 



1. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



2. Well did Solon exclaim, "No 
man should be counted blessed, until 
he lias nobly ended a happy, noble 
life." 



3. He who abstains from idolatry, 
who is devoted to Jehovah, and walks 
in all the commandments of the law, 
the same is a perfect man before 
God.

2 Of the nations concerning which the 'Lord 
said unto the children of is'ra-el, Ye ''shall not 
go in to them, neither shall they come in unto 
you: for surely they will turn away your heart 
after their gods: Sol'o-mon clave unto these 
in love. 

3 And he had seven hundred wives, prin- 
cesses, and three hundred concubines: and his 
wives turned away his heart. 

4 For it came to pass, when Sol'o-mon was 
2 old, "that his wives turned away his heart 
after other gods: and his heart was not 3 per- 
fect c with the Lord his God, as was the heart 
of Da'vid his father. 

5 For Sol'o-mon went after ^Ash'to-reth the 
goddess of the Zl-d5'ni-ans, and after Mil'com 
the abomination of the Am'mon-Ttes. 

6 And Sol'o-mon did evil in the sight of the 
'Lord, and went not fully after the 'Lord, as 
did Da'vid his father. 

7 Then did Sol'o-mon build an high place 
for Che'mosh, the abomination of Mo'ab, in the 
hill that is before Je-ru'sa-lem, and for Mo'- 
lech, the abomination of the children of Am'- 
m5n. 

8 And likewise did he for all his strange 
wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto 
their gods. 

9 If *And the 'Lord was 5 angry e with Sol'o- 
mon, because his heart was turned from the 
'Lord God of Is'ra-el, which had appeared unto 
him twice, 

10 And had ^commanded him concerning this 
thing, that he should not go after Mother gods: 
but he kept not that which the 'Lord com- 
manded. 

11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Sol'o-mon, 
Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou 
hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, 
which I have commanded thee, I will surely 
rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it 
to thy servant. 

12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not 
do* it for Da'vid thy father's sake: but I will 
rend it out of the hand of thy son. 

13 Howbeit I will not rend ''away all the 
kingdom ; but will give one Hribe to thy son for 
Da'vid my servant's sake, and for Je-ru'sa- 
lem's sake which I have chosen. 

14 ^f°And the 'Lord stirred up an adversary 
unto Sol'o-mon, Ha'dad the E'dom-Ite: he was 
of the king's seed in E'dom. 

15 For it came to pass, when Da'vid was in 
E'dom, and Jo'ab the captain of the host was 
gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten 
every male in E'dom; 

16 (For six months did Jo'ab remain there 



f. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people 
to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; foras- 
much «s the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no 
more that way. (Dt. 17:1G.) And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of 
horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. (I Ks. 4:26.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn 
not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. 
(Dt. 17:17.) In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of 
Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab (23). And their children spake half 
in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, 
but according to the language of each people (24). And I contended 
with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked 
off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give 
your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your 
sons, or for yourselves (25). Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these 
things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was 
beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless 
even him did outlandish women cause to sin (26). Shall we then hearken 
unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in 
marrying strange wives? (Neh. 13:23-27.) See v. 3. 

b. And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daugh- 
ters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring 
after their gods. (Ex. 34:16.) Neither shalt thou make marriages with 
them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter 
shalt thou take unto thy son. (Dt. 7:3.) 

c. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. (Dt. 18:13.) Be 
ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in 
the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the 
right hand or to the left. (Josh. 23:6.) Let your heart therefore be 
perfect with the Lord our God. to walk in his statutes, and to keep his 
commandments, as at this day. (I Ks. 8:61.) Blessed are the undeflled 
in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord (1). Blessed are they that 



keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart (2). They 
also do know iniquity; they walk in his ways (3). Then shall I not be 
ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. (Ps. 
119:1-3, 6.) 

d. And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 
(Jud. 2:13.) 

e. For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we 
troubled. (Ps. 90:7.) And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 
them; and he departed. (Num. 12:9.) And the anger of the Lord was 
kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and 
there he died by the ark of God. (II Sam. 6:7.) 

f. Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt 
walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my com- 
mandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, 
while I spake unto David thy father. (I Ks. 6:12.) 

g. And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect; and 
make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out 
of thy mouth. (Ex. 23:13.) Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to your- 
selves molten gods; I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:4.) Cursed be 
the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto 
the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a 
secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. (Dt. 
27:15.) Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast 
themselves of idols; worship him, all ye gods. (Ps. 97:7.) 

h. But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from 
Saul, whom I put away before thee. (II Sam. 7:15.) Nevertheless my 
loving-kindness will I not utterly take away from him, nor suffer my 
faithfulness to fail. (Ps. 89:33.) 

i. And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was 
come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and 
made him king over all Israel; there was none that followed the house 
of David but the tribe of Judah only. (I Kings 12:20.)

with all Is'ra-el, until he had cut off every male ' 
in E'dom:) 

17 That Ha'dad fled, he and certain E'dom- 
ites of his father's servants with him, to go 
into E'gypt; Ha'dad being yet a little child. 

18 And they arose out of .Mid i-an, and came 
to Pa 'ran: and they took men with them out 
of Pa'ran, and they came to E'gypt, unto Pha'- 
raoh king of E'gypt; which gave him an house, 
and appointed him victuals, and gave him land. 

19 And Ha'dad found great favour in the 
sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife 
the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tah'- 
pen-es the queen. 

20 And the sister of Tah'pen-es bare him 
Ge-nu'bath his son, whom Tah'pen-es weaned 
in Pha'raoh's house: and Ge-nu'bath was in 
Pha'raoh's household among the sons of Pha- 
ra5h. 

21 And when Ha'dad heard in E'gypt that 
Da'vid slept with his fathers, and that J5'ab 
the captain of the host was dead, Ha'dad said 
to Pha'raoh, Let me depart, that I may go to 
mine own country. 

22 Then Pha'raoh said unto him. But what 
hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou 
seekest to go to thine own country? And he 
answered, Nothing : howbeit let me go in any 
wise. 

23 r And God stirred him up another adver- 
sary, Re'zon the son of E-li'a-dah, which fled 
from his lord Had'ad-e'zer king of Z6T>ah: 

24 And he gathered men unto him, and be- 
came captain over a band, when Da'vid slew 
them of ZoTaah: and they went to Da-mas-cus, 
and dwelt therein, and reigned in Da-mas'cus. 

25 And he was an adversary to is'ra-el all 
the days of •■ Sol'o-mon. beside the mischief 
that Ha'dad did: and he abhorred Is'ra-el, and 
reigned over Syrl-a. 

26 r And Jer-o-bo'am the son of NeTiat, an 
Eph'rath-ite of Zer'e-da, Solomon's seiwant, 
whose mother's name was Ze-ru'ah, a widow 
woman, even he lifted up his hand against the 
king. 

2 1 And this was the cause that he lifted up 
his hand against the king: Sol'o-mon built 
Mil'lo, and repaired the breaches of the city of 
Da'vid his father. 

28 And the man Jer-o-bo'am was a mighty 
man of valour: and Sol'o-mon seeing the young 
man that he was industrious, he made him 
ruler over all the charge of the house of Jo- 
seph. 

29 And it came to pass at that time when 
Jer-o-bo'am went out of Je-ru'sa-lem, that the 
prophet A-hl'jah the Shi'lo-nite found him in 
the way; and he had clad himself with a new 
garment; and they two were alone in the field: 

30 And A-hi'jah caught the new garment 
that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces : 

31 And he said to Jer-o-bo'am, Take thee ten 
pieces: for thus saith the 1 Lord, the God of Is'- 
ra-el, Behold. I will *>rend the kingdom out of 
tbe hand of Sol'o-mon, and will give ten tribes 
to thee: 

32 (But he shall have one tribe for my serv- 
ant Da'vid's sake, and for Je-ru'sa-lem's sake. 
the city which I have chosen out of all the 
tribes of Is'ra-el:)

S. Son of Solomon: he was 41 years 
(,ld when he began to reign; he must 
therefore have been born the year 
before S. ascended the throne. From

Ch. 12. B. C. 975. 

XOTE. — Ch. 12 introduces us to the 
revolt of the 10 tribes. (Vs. 1-19). 
There had been quite a feeling of 
jealousy and rivalry growing up be- 
tween the tribe of Judah and the rest 
of Israel, which dates back to the 
time when the tribe of Judah made 
David king, without tbe concurrent 
action of the other tribes. It showed 
itself again in the contention be- 
tween Judah and the 10 tribes, when 
bringing David back to Jerusalem (II 
Sam.. 19:41-43); also again in tbe 
rebellion of Sheba: but the strong 
hand of David and of Solomon kept 
down any successful revolt during 
their reign. But when a weaker 
came to the throne, the restraining 
power being removed, a revolt oc- 
curred.

33 Because that they have forsaken me, and 
have worshipped Ash to-reth the 'goddess of 
the Zi-do'nI-ans, Che'mosh the god of the Mo'- 
ab-ites, and Mil com the god of the children of 
Am'mon, and have not walked in my ways, to 
do that which is right in mine eyes, and to 
keep my statutes and my judgments, as did 
Da'vid his father. 

34 Howbeit I will not take the whole king- 
dom out of his hand: but I will make him 
prince all the days of his life for Da'vid my 
servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept 
my "'commandments and my statutes: 

35 But I will take the kingdom out of his 
son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even 
ten tribes. 

36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, 
that Da'vid my servant may have a light alway 
before me in Je-ru'sa-lem,. the city which I 
have chosen me to put my name there. 

37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt 
reign according to all that thy soul desireth, 
and shalt be king over Is'ra-el. 

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto 
all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my 
ways, and do that is right in my sight, to 
keep my statutes and my commandments, as 
Da'vid my servant did; that I will be with 
thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built 
for Da'vid, and will give Is'ra-el unto thee. 

39 And I will for this afflict the seed of 
Da'vid, but not for ever. 

40 Sol'o-mon sought therefore to kill Jer-o-

43 And 'Sol'o-mon slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in the city of Da'vid his father : 
and s Re-ho-bo'am his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 The Israelites, assembled at Shecheni to 
crown Rehoboam, make a suit of relaxation 
unto him. 6 Rehoboam ansxvereih them 
roughly. 16 Ten tribes, revolting, kill Ado- 
ram, and make. Rehoboam to flee. 21 Reho- 
boam, raising an army, is forbidden by 
Shemaiah. 25 Jeroboam strengiheneth him- 
self by cities. 

1 And 'Re-ho-bo'am went to She'chem: for 
all Is'ra-el were come to She'chem to make him 
king. 

2 And it came to pass, when Jer-o-bo'am the 
son of Ne'bat, who was yet in a E'gypt, heard 
of it, (for he was fled from the presence of 
king Sol'o-mon, and Jer-o-bo'am dwelt in 
E'gypt;) 

3 That they sent and called him. And Jer-o- 
bo'am and all the congregation of Is'ra-el 
came, and spake unto Re-ho-bo'am, saying, 

4 Thy father made our kyoke grievous: now 
therefore make thou the .grievous service of thy 
father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon 
us, lighter, and we will serve thee. 



j. And he went out to meet Asa. and said unto him, Hear ye me. 
Asa. and all Judah and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, while ye be 
with him: and if ye seek him, he will he found of you; but if ye forsake 
him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) And thou, Solomon my son, 
thou the Gcd of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart. 
and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and under- 
ieth all the imaginations of the thoughts; if thou seek him, he will 
be found of thee: but if thou forsake him. he will cast thee off for 
ever. II Chr. 2S:9.)

strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts

a. Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam, and Jeroboam arose, 
and fled into Eevpt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt 
until the death of Solomon. (I Ks. 11:40.) 

b. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall 
reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself 
for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before 
his chariots (11). And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and 
captains over fifties: and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap 
his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his 
chariots (12). And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, 
and to be cooks, and to be bakers (13). And he will take your fields.

5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for 
three days, then come again to me. And the 
people departed. 

6 * And king Re-ho-bo'am consulted with the 
old men, that stood before Sol'o-mon his father 
while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise 
that I may answer this people? 

7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou 
wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and 
wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak 
good words to them, then they will be thy 
servants for ever. 

8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, 
which they had given him, and consulted with 
the young men that were grown up with him, 
and which stood before him: 

9 And he said unto them, What counsel give 
ye that we may answer this people, who have 
spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which 
thy father did put upon us lighter? 

10 And the young men that were grown up 
with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt 
thou speak unto this people that spake unto 
thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, 
but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt 
thou say unto them, My little finger shall be 
thicker than my father's loins. 

11 And now whereas my father did lade you 
with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: 
my father hath chastised you with whips, but 
I will chastise you with scorpions. 

12 "If So Jer-o-b5'am and all the people came 
to ] Re-ho-bo'am the third day, as the king had 
appointed, saying, Come to me again the third 
day. 

13 And the king answered the people rough- 
ly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they 
gave him; 

14 And spake to them after the counsel of 
the young men, saying, My father made your 
c yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my 
father also chastised you with whips, but I 
will chastise you with scorpions. 

15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto 
the people; for d the cause was from the 2 Lord, 
that he might perform his saying, which the 
Lord spake by A-hT'jah the Shi'lo-nlte unto 
Jer'o-bo'am the son of Ne'bat. 

16 f So when all Is'ra-el saw that the king 
hearkened not unto them, the people answered 
the king, saying, What portion have we in 
Da'vid? neither have we inheritance in the 
son of Jes'se : to your tents, O Is'ra-el : now see 
to thine own house, Da'vid. So Is'ra-el de- 
parted unto their tents. 

17 But as for the children of is'ra-el which 
dwelt in the cities of Ju'dah, 1 Re-ho-bo'am 
reigned over them. 

18 Then king Re-ho-bo'am sent A-do'ram, 
who was over the tribute; and all Is'ra-el

3. The people, through their rep-

lightening of their burdens. They 
had sent to Egypt and brought back 
Rehoboam. who was at the head of 
the assembly, making the demand of

boam was called in consultation and 
crowned king.

stoned him with stones, that he died. There- 
fore king Re-ho-b5'am made speed to get him 
up to his chariot, to flee to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

19 So Is'ra-el rebelled against the house of 
Da'vid unto this day. 

20 And it came to pass, when all Is'ra-el 
heard that Mer'o-bo'am was come again, that 
they sent and called him unto the congrega- 
tion, and made him king over all Is'ra-el : there 
was none that followed the house of Da'vid, 
but the tribe of Ju'dah only. 

21 If And when 'Re-ho-bo'am was come to 
Je-ru'sa-lem, he assembled all the house of 
Ju'dah, with the tribe of Ben'ja-min, an hun- 
dred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which 
were warriors, to fight against the house of 
Is'ra-el, to bring the kingdom again to Re-ho- 
bo'am the son of Sol'o-mon. 

22 But the word of God came unto Shem- 
a-i'ah the man of God, saying, 

23 Speak unto Re'ho-bo'am, the son of Sol'- 
o-mon, king of Ju'dah, and unto all the house 
of Ju'dah and Ben'ja-min, and to the remnant 
of the people, saying, 

24 Thus saith the 2 Lord, Ye shall not go up, 
nor fight against your brethren the children 
of Is'ra-el: return every man to his house; for 
this thing is from me. . They hearkened there- 
fore to the word of the 2 Lord, and returned to 
depart, according to the word of the 2 Lord. 

25 If ^Then Jer-o-bo'am built She'chem in 
mount E'phra-im, and dwelt therein; and went 
out from thence, and built Pe-nu'el. 

26 And Jer-o-bo'am said in his heart, Now 
shall the kingdom return to the house of Da'- 
vid: 

27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the 
house of the 2 Lord at Je-ru'sa-lem, then shall 
the heart of this people turn again unto their 
lord, even unto 'Re-no-b5'am king of Ju'dah, 
and they shall kill me, and go again to Re-ho- 
bo'am king of Ju'dah. 

28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and 
made two calves of gold, and said unto them, 
It is too much for you to go up to Je-ru'sa-lem: 
behold thy 5 gods-, Is'ra-el, which brought thee 
up out of the land of E'gypt. 

29 And he set the one in Beth'-el, and the 
other put he in Dan. 

30 And this thing became a sin : for the peo- 
ple went to worship before the one, even unto 
Dan. 

31 And he made an house of high places, 
and ''made priests of the lowest of the people, 
which were not of the sons of Le'vi. 

32 And Jer-o-bo'am ordained a feast in the 
eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the 
month, like unto the feast that is in Ju'dah, 
and he offered upon the altar. So did he in 
Beth'-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he 



and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and 
give them to his servants (14). And he will take the tenth of your seed, 
and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants (15). 
And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your 
goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work (16). 
He will take the tenth of your sheep; and ye shall be his servants (17). 
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall 
have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day. (I Sam. 
8:11-18.) 

c. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with 
rigor (13). And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in 
mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; all 
their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor. (Ex. 
1:13, 14.) And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are 
many, and ye make them rest from their burdens (5). And Pharaoh 
commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their 
officers, saying (6), Ye shall no more give the people straw to make 
brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves (7). 
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall 
lay upon them: ye shall not diminish ought thereof; for they be idle: 
therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God (8). Let 
there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; 
and let them not regard vain words (9). There is no straw given unto 
thy servants. And they say to us, Make brick; and, behold, thy serv- 
ants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people (16). But he said. 
Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to 
the Lord (17). Go therefore now and work: for there shall no straw be 
given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. (Ex. 5:5-9, 16-18.) 



d. But his father and his mother knew not. that it was of the Lord, 
that he sought an occasion against the Philistines; for at that time the 
Philistines had dominion over Israel. (Jud. 14:4.) And the destruction 
of Ahaziah was of God, by coming to Joram; for when he was come, 
he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Ninishi, whom the 
Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. (II Chr. 22:7.) Dan- 
iel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever, 
for wisdom and might are his (20). And he changeth the times and the 
seasons; he removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom 
unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. (Dan. 
2:20, 21.) This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand 
by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know 
that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to 
whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men (17). And 
all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth 
according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabi- 
tants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What 
doest thou? (Dan. 4:17, 35.) 

e. After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but 
made again of the lowest of people priests of the high places; whosoever 
would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the 
high places. (I Ks. 13:33.) So they feared the Lord, and made unto 
themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which 
sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. (II Ks. 17:32.) 
Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the 
Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of 
other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a 
young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that 
are no gods. (II Chr. 13:9.)

had made : and he placed in Beth'-el the priests 
of the high places which he had made. 

33 So he offered upon the altar which he 
had made in Beth'-el the fifteenth day of the 
eighth month, even in the month which he had 
devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast 
unto the children of Is'ra-el: and he offered 
upon the altar, and burnt incense. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 Jeroboam's hand withereth, 6 and at the 
prayer of the prophet is restored. 7 The 
prophet departeth from Beth-el. 11 An old 
prophet, seducing him, bringeth him back. 
20 He is reproved by God, 23 slain by a 
lion, 26 buried by the old prophet, 31 tvho 
confirmeth his prophecy. 33 Jeroboam's ob- 
stinacy. 

1 And, behold, there "came a mian of God 
out of Ju'dah by the word of the 2 Lord unto 
Beth'-el: and Jer-o-bo'am stood by the altar 
to burn incense. 

2 And he cried against the altar in the word 
of the "Lord, and said, altar, altar, thus saith 
the "Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto 
the house of Da'vid, Jo-si'ah by name; and 
upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high 
places that bum incense upon thee, and men's 
bones shall be burnt upon thee. 

3 And he gave a "sign the same day, saying, 
This is the sign which the 2 Lord hath spoken ; 
Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes 
that are upon it shall be poured out. 

4 And it came to pass, when king Jer-o- 
bo'am heard the saying of the man of God, 
which had cried against the altar in Beth'-el, 
that he put forth his hand from the altar, say- 
ing, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which 
he put forth against him, Mried up, so that 
he could not pull it in again to him. 

5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes 
poured out from the altar, according to the 
sign which the man of God had given by the 
word of the 2 Lord. 

6 And the king answered and said unto the 
man of God, °Intreat now the face of the 2 Lord 
thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may 
be restored me again. And the man of God 
besought the 2 Lord, and the king's hand was 
restored him again, and became as it was 
before. 

7 And the king said unto the man of God, 
Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and 
I will give thee a reward. 

8 And the man of God said unto the king. 
If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will 
not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread 
nor drink water in this place : 

9 For so was it charged me by the word of 
the 2 Lord, saying, tf Eat no bread, nor drink 
water, nor turn again by the same way that 
thou earnest. 

10 So he went another way, and returned 
not by the way that he eame to Beth'-el. 

11 If Now there dwelt an old prophet in 
Beth'-el; and his sons came and told him all 
the works that the man of God had done that 
day in Beth'-el : the words which he had spoken 



Ch. 13. 3. C. 975. 

NOTE.— In this ch. two prophets 
are brought forward, although their 
names are nowhere given. They were 
perhaps trained in the school of 
prophets by Samuel. (I Sam. 10:5.) 



1. A truly accredited prophet. 



Jehovah, the covenant-name of 



3. That is, he wrought a miracle. 



4. Another miracle: performed not 
through the agency of man. hut di- 
rectly by Jehovah. 



5. A proof of his degenerate spirit- 
ual condition. 



6. Thou shalt not reach home, dead 
or alive. 



7. Another ass perhaps belonging 
to the sons of the prophet. 



8. Here is a clear manifestation 
of the hand of God. An ass is choice 
food for a lion: and man he never 
attacks, save when he can get no 
other prey. It is also the lion's custom 
to tear and mangle his prey; but in 
this case the lion acted contrary to his 
nature and did not harm the ass. 
neither did he mangle the man. It 
was simply a fulfillment of the proph- 
ecy. 



unto the king, them they told also to their 
father. 

12 And their father said unto them, What 
way went he? For his sons had seen what 
way the man of God went, which came from 
Ju'dah. 

13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the 
ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he 
rode thereon, 

14 And went after the man of God, and 
found him sitting under an oak: and he said 
unto him, Art thou the man of God that earnest 
from Ju'dah? And he said, 1 am. 

15 Then he said unto him, Come home with 
me, and eat bread. 

16 And he said, I may not return with thee, 
nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread 
nor drink water with thee in this place: 

17 For it was said to me by the word of the 
2 Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water 
there, nor turn again to go by the way that 
thou earnest. 

18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as 
thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the 
word of the 2 Lord, saying, Bring him back 
with thee into thine house, that he may eat 
bread and drink water. 5 But he lied unto him. 

19 So he went back with him, and did eat 
bread in his house, and drank water. 

20 If And it came to pass, as they sat at the 
table, that the word of the 2 Lord came unto 
the prophet that brought him back: 

21 And he cried unto the man of God that 
came from Ju'dah, saying, Thus saith the 
2 Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the 
mouth of the 2 Lord, and hast not kept e the 
commandment which the 2 Lord thy God com- 
manded thee, 

22 But earnest back, and hast eaten bread 
and drunk water in the place, of the which 
the 2 Lord did say to thee, d Eat no bread, and 
drink no water; thy carcase shall not come 
°unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 

23 H And it came to pass, after he had eaten 
bread, and after he had drunk, that he 'sad- 
dled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet 
whom he had brought back. 

24 And when he was gone, fa lion met him 
by the way, and slew him : and his carcase was 
cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the 
lion also stood by the carcase. 

25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the 
carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing 
by the carcase: and they came and told it in 
the city where the old prophet dwelt. 

26 And when the prophet that brought him 
back from the way heard thereof, he said, It 
is the man of God, who was disobedient unto 
the word of the 2 Lord : therefore the 2 Lord hath 
^delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn 
him, and slain him, according to the word of 
the 2 Lord, which he spake unto him. 

27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle 
me the ass. And they saddled him. 

28 And he went and found his carcase cast 
in the way, and the ass and the lion s standine; 
by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the car- 
case, nor torn the ass. 



Chapter 13. 

a. But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, say- 
ing. (I Ks. 12:22.) Then he said, What title is that that I see? And 
the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, 
which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast 
done against the altar of Bethel. (II Ks. 23:17.) - 

b. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a 
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name immanuel. 
(Is. 7:14.) Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What signs 
showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? (Jno. 2:18.) 
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. (I Cor. 

C. Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and 
intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death 

only. (Fx. 10:17.) Therel people came to Moses„ and said, We 

Binned; for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; 

Lord, thai he take away the serpents from us. And 

Mi es prayed for the people. (Num. 21:7.) Confess your faults one to 



another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual 
fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.) Then 
answered Simon, and said. Pray to the Lord for me, that none of these 
things which ye have spoken come upon me. (Acts 8:24.) 

d. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any 
man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idol' 
ator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one 
no not to eat. (I Cor. 5:11.) For he that biddeth him God speed is 
partaker of his evil deeds. (II Jno. 11.) 

e. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

f. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah: and God 
smote him there for his error: and there he died by the ark of God. 
(II Sam. 6:7.) Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign; according to all that 
he hath done shall ve do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I 
am the Lord God. (Ezek. 24:24.) For the time is .come that judgment 
must begin at the house of God; and if it first begin at us, what shall 
the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (I Pet. 4:17.)

29 And the prophet took up the carcase of 
the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, arid 
brought it back: and the old prophet came to 
the city, to mourn and to bury him. 

30 And he laid his carcase in his own, grave; 
and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my 
brother ! 

31 And it came to pass, after he had buried 
him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When 
I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre 
wherein the man of God is buried; lay my 
bones beside his bones: 

32 For the saying which he cried by the 
word of the 2 Lord against the altar in Beth'-el, 
and against all the houses of the high places 
which are in the cities of Sa-ma'ri-a, shall 
surely come to pass. 

33 If After this thing Jer-o-bo'am returned 
not from his evil way, but made again of the 
lowest of the people priests of the high places: 
whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he 
became one of the priests of the high places. 

34 And this "thing became sin unto the house 
of Jer-o-bo'am, even ''to cut it off, and to 
destroy it from off the face of the earth. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Jeroboam sendeth his ivife to the prophet 
Ahijah at Shiloh. 5 Ahijah denounceth 
God's judgment. 17 Abijah dieth, and is 
buried. 19 Nadab succeedeth [Jeroboam. 21 
Rehoboam's ivicked reign. 25 Shishak spoil- 
eth Jerusalem. 

1 At that time 'A-bi'jah the son of Jer-o- 
bo'am fell sick. 

2 And Jer-o-bo'am said to his wife, Arise, I 
pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be 
not known to be the wife' of Jer-o-bo'am ; and 
get thee to "Shi'lSh: behold, there is 3 A-hi'jah 
the prophet, which told me that I should be 
king over this people. 

3 And take with thee ten loaves, and 'crack- 
nels, and a cruse pi honey, and go to him: he 
shall tell thee-what shall become of the child. 

4 And Jer-o-bo'am's wife did so, and arose, 
and went to 2 Shi'loh, and came to the house of 
3 A-hI'jah. But A-hi'jah could not see; for his 
eyes were set by reason of his age. 

5 11 And the 2 Lord said unto 3 A-hi'jah, Be- 
hold, the wife of Jer-o-bo'am cometh to ask a 
thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus 
and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall 
be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign 
herself to be another woman. 

6 And it was so, when 3 A-hi'jah heard the 
sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, 
that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jer-o- 
bo'am; why feignest thou thyself to be an- 
other? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. 

7 Go, tell Jer-o-bo'am, Thus saith the "Lord 
God of Is'ra-el, Forasmuch as I exalted thee 
from among the people, and made thee prince 
over my people Is'ra-el, 

8 And rent a the kingdom away from the 
house of Da'vid, and gave it thee: and yet 
thou hast not been as my servant Da'vid, who 
6 kept my commandments, and who followed

NOTE. — It should be observed how 
prominent the conflict is becoming be- 
tween the prophets aud the kings. Id 
this ch. another prophet at Shiloh 
proclaims the end of the house of Je- 
roboam. Ahijah's second prophecy 
is detailed in vs. 1-1S. 



1. The king's oldest son, heir ap- 
parent to the throne. 



2. Shiloh is 13 miles north of Ra- 
mah, where the tabernacle was lo- 
cated after the Israelites had driven 
the inhabitants out of the laud. 



3. The prophet of Shiloh. who told 
Jeroboam of the rise and fall of 
Israel; he was one of the historians 
of Solomon's reign. (II Chr. 9:29) — 
"Now .the rest of the acts of Solomon, 
first and last, are they not written 
in the book of Nathan, the prophet, 
and in the prophecy of Ahijah the 
Shilonite?"

5. A fig. denoting the rejection of 
Jehovah. 



6. That is, not thoroughly set in 
corruption.

Ks. 15:27-30. The king's name was 
Baasha. 



8. Condemnation in the sight of.

fore thee: for thou hast gone and made thee 
other gods, c and molten images, to provoke me 
to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: 

10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon 
the house of Jer-o-bo'am, and will ''cut off 
from Jer-o-bo'am him that pisseth against the 
wall, and him that is shut up and left in Is'- 
i - a-el, and will take away the remnant of the 
house of Jer-o-bo'am, as a man taketh away 
dung, till it be all gone. 

11 Him that dieth of Jer-o-bo'am in the city 
shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the 
field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the 
= Lord hath spoken it. 

12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine 
own house: and when thy feet enter into the 
city, the child shall die. 

13 And all Is'ra-el shall mourn for him, and 
bury him: for he only of Jer-o-bo'am shall 
come to the grave, because in him there is 
found 'some 'good thing toward the "Lord God 
of Is'ra-el in the house of Jer-o-b5'am. 

14 Moreover the "Lord shall raise him up a 
7 king over Is'ra-el, who shall cut off the house 
of Jer-o-bo'am that day: but what? even now. 

15 For the 2 Lord shall smite is'ra-el, as a 
reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root, 
up is'ra-el out of this good land, which he gave 
to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond 
the river, because they have made their groves, 
"provoking the 2 Lord to "anger. 

16 And he shall give is'ra-el up because of 
the sins of Jer-o-bo'am, who did sin, and who 
made is'ra-el to sin. 

17 If And Jer-o-bo'am's wife arose, and de- 
parted, and came to Tir'zah: and when she 
came to the threshold of the door, the child 
died; 

18 And they buried him; and all is'ra-el 
mourned for him, according to the word of the 
"Lord, which he spake by the hand of his serv- 
ant A-hi'jah the prophet. 

19 And the rest of the acts of Jer-o-bo'am, 
how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, 
they are written in the book 10 of the chronicles 
of the kings of is'ra-el. 

20 And the days which Jer-o-bo'am reigned 
were two and twenty years: and he slept with 
his fathers, and Na'dab his son reigned in his 
stead. 

21 f And Rerho-bd'am the son of Sol'o-mon 
reigned in Ju'dah. Re-ho-bo'am was forty 
and one years old when he began to reign, and 
he reigned seventeen years in Je-ru'sa-lem, the 
city which the 2 Lord did choose out of all the 
tribes of is'ra-el, to put his name there. And 
his mother's name was Na'a-mah an Am'mon- 
It-ess. 

22 And Ju'dah did evil in the sight of the 
Lord, and they "provoked ''him to jealousy 
with their sins which they had committed, 
above all that their fathers had done. 

23 For they also built them high places, and 
images, and c groves, on every high hill, and 
under every green tree. 

24 "And there was also "sodomites in the 
land: and they did according to all the abom- 
inations of the nations which the 2 Lord cast 
out before the children of Is'ra-el. 

25 II And it came to pass in the fifth year of 



h. For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam 
which he did; they departed not from them (22); Until the Lord re- 
moved Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the 
prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria 
unto this day. (II Ks. 17:22, 23.) See ch. 14, v. 10. Chs. 15, 29, 30. 

Chapter 14. 

a. And he said to Jeroboam. Take the ten pieces; for thus saith the 
Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the 
hand of Solomon, aud will give ten tribes to thee. (I Ks. 11:31.) 

b. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

c. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are 
escaped of the nations; they have no knowledge that set up the wood 
of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. (Is. 
45:20.) But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? Let them 
.'.rise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble; for according 



to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. (Jer. 2:28.) As con- 
cerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice 
unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that 
there is none other God but one. (I Cor. 8:4.) 

d. For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off 
from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up 
and left in Israel. (II Ks. 9:8.) 

e. Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou 
hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine 
heart to seek God. (II Chr. 19:3.) 

f. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; 
they have provoked me to anger with their vanities; and I will move 
them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them 
to anger with a foolish nation. (Dt. 32:21.) Do we provoke the Lord 
to jealousy? are we stronger than he? (I Cor. 10:22.)

came up against Je-ru'sa-lem: 

26 And he took away the treasures of the 
house of the : Lord, and the treasures of the 
king's house; he even took away all: and he 
took away all the shields of gold which S61'- 
o-mon had made. 

27 And king Re-ho-bo'am made in their stead 
brasen shields, and committed them unto the 
hands of the chief of the guard, which kept 
the door of the king's house. 

28 And it was so, when the king went into 
the house of the "Lord, that the guard bare 
them, and brought them back into the guard 
chamber.

from any thing that he commanded him all the

c her he removed from being queen, because 
she had made ^an idol in a grove; and c A'sa 
destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook 
Kid'ron. 

14 But the'migh places were not removed: 
nevertheless A'sa's heart was perfect with the 
"Lord all his days. 

15 And he brought in the things which his 
father had dedicated, and the things which 
himself had dedicated, into the house of the 
"Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels. 

16 r And there was war between 6 A'sa and 
10 Ba'a-sha king of is'ra-el all their days. 

17 And : Ba a-sha king of Is'ra-el went up 
against Ju'dah, and built Ra'mah, that he 
might not suffer any to go out or come in to 
A'sa king of Ju'dah. 

18 Then 'A'sa took all the silver and the gold 
that were left in the treasures of the house 
of the : Lord, and the treasures of the king's 
house, and delivered them into the hand of 
his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben- 
ha'dad, the son of Tab'ii-mon, the son of He- 
zi-on, king of Syr'I-a, that dwelt at Da-mas'- 
cus, saying, 

19 There is a "league between me and thee, 
and between my father and thy father: behold, 
I have sent unto thee a present of silver and 
gold; come and break thy league with Baa- 
sha king of Is'ra-el, that he may depart from 
me. 

20 So Ben-ha'dad hearkened unto king 
A'sa, and sent the captains of the hosts which 
he had against the cities of Is'ra-el and smote 
I'jon, and Dan, and A'bel-beth-ma'a-chah, and 
all Cin'ne-roth, with all the land of Naph- 
ta-li. 

21 And it came to pass, when Ba'a-sha heard 
thereof, that he left off building of Ra'mah, 
and dwelt in Tir'zah. 

22 Then king A'sa made a proclamation 
throughout all Ju'dah; none was exempted: 
and they took away the stones of Ra'mah, and 
the timber thereof, wherewith Ba'a-sha_ had 
builded; and king A'sa built with them Ge'ba 
of Ben'ja-min, and Miz'pah. 

23 The rest of all the acts of A'sa, and all 
his might, and all that he did, and the cities 
which he built, are they not written in the 
book of the chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah? 
Nevertheless in the time of his e old age he 
was diseased in his feet.

in his stead.

of A'sa king of Ju'dah, and reigned over Is'-

the house of Is'sa-char, conspired against him;

Ju'dah did Ba'a-sha ''slay him, and reigned in 
his stead. 

29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, 
that he smote "all the house of Jer-o-bo'am; 
he left not to Jer-o-bo'am any that breathed, 
until he had ^destroyed him, according unto 
the saying of the Lord, which he spake by his 
servant A-hi'jah the Shi'lo-nite: 

30 Because of the sins of Jer-o-bo'am which 
he sinned, and which he made Is'ra-el sin, by 
his provocation wherewith he provoked the 
Lord God of Is'ra-el to anger. 

31 If Now the rest of the acts of Na'dab, and 
all that he did, are they not written in the 
book of the chronicles of the kings of _ Is'ra-el? 

32 And there was war between A'sa and 
Ba'a-sha king of Is'ra-el all their days. 

33 In the third year of A'sa king of Ju'dah 
began Ba'a-sha the son of A-hi'jah to reign 
over all Is'ra-el in Tir'zah, twenty and four 
years. 

34 And he did evil in the sight of the 2 Lord, 
and walked in the way of Jer-o-bo'am, and in 
his sin wherewith he made is'ra-el to sin.

Ahab's most wicked reign. 

1 Then the word of the 'Lord came to Je'hu 
a the son of "Ha-na'ni against Ba'a-sha, saying, 

2 Forasmuch as I 6 exalted thee out of the 
dust, and made thee prince over my people 
is'ra-el; and thou hast walked in the way of 
Jer-o-bo'am, and hast made my people is'ra-el 
to sin, to 3 provoke me to anger with their sins; 

3 Behold, I will take away the posterity of 
Ba'a-sha, and the posterity of his house; and 
will make thy house like the house of Jer-o- 
bd'am the son of Ne'bat. 

4 Him that dieth of Ba'a-sha in the city

killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of 
A'sa king of Ju'dah, and reigned in his stead. 

11 II And it came to pass, when he began to 
reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he 
slew all the house of Ba'a-sha: he left him not 
one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his 
kinsfolks, nor of his friends. 

12 Thus did Zim'ri destroy all the house of 
Ba'a-sha, according to the word of the 'Lord, 
which he spake against Ba'a-sha by Je'hu the 
prophet, 

13 For all the sins of Ba'a-sha, and the sins 
of E'lah his son, by which they sinned, and by 
which they made is'ra-el to sin, in provoking 
the 'Lord God of Is'ra-el to anger d with their 
vanities. 

14 Now the rest of the acts of E'lah, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the book 
of the chronicles of the kings of Is'ra-el?

A'sa king of Ju'dah did Zim'ri reign '-seven 
days in Tir'zah L And the people were en- 
camped against Gib'be-thon, which belonged to 
the Phi-lis'tine§. 

16 And the people that were encamped heard 
say, Zim'ri hath conspired, and hath also slain 
the king: wherefore all Is'ra-el made 6 6m'ri, 
the captain of the host, king over Is'ra-el that 
day in the camp. 

17 And Om'ri went up from Gib'be-thon, and 
all is'ra-el with him, and they besieged Tir'- 
zah. 

18 And it came to pass, when 5 Zim'rI saw 
that the city was taken, that he went into the 
palace 7 of the king's house, and burnt the 
king's house over him with fire, and died, 

19 For ''his sins which he sinned in doing 
evil in the sight of the Lord, in walking in 
the way of Jer-o-bo'am, and in his sin which 
he did, to make Is'ra-el to sin. 

20 Now the rest of the acts of Zim'ri, and 
his treason that he wrought, are they not writ- 
ten in the book of the chronicles of the kings 
of Is'ra-el? 

21 % Then were the people of Is'ra-el di- 
vided into two parts: half of the people fol- 
lowed Tib'ni the son of Gi'nath, to make him 
king; and half followed Om'ri. 

22 But the people that followed Om'ri pre- 
vailed against the people that followed Tib'ni 
the son of Gi'nath: so Tib'ni died, and °Om'ri 
reigned. 

23 U In the thirty and first year of A'sa king 
of Ju'dah began Om'ri to reign over Is'ra-el, 
twelve years: six years reigned he in Tir'zah. 

24 And he bought the hill Sa-ma'ri-a of 
She'mer for two 8 talents of silver, and built 
on the hill, and called the name of the city 
which he built, after the name of She'mer, 
owner of the hill, "Sa-ma'ri-a. 

25 If But °6m'ri wrought evil in the eyes of 
the 'Lord, and did 10 worse than all that were 
before him. 



f. To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall 
slide in due time; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the 
things that shall come upon them make haste. (Dt. 32:35.) 

g. His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have 
no name in the street (17). He shall be driven from light into darkness,

they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is men- 
tioned in the book of the kings of Israel. (II Chr. 20:34.) 

b. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar 
from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them in- 
herit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, 
and he hath set the world upon them. (I Sam. 2:8.) For promotion 
cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south 
(6). But God is the judge; he putteth down one, and setteth up an- 
other. (Ps. 75:6, 7.) And he changeth the times and the seasons; he 
removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, 
and knowledge to them that know understanding. (Dan. 2:21.) This 
matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word 
of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the most 



High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he 
will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Dan. 4:17.) 

c. And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a 
little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of 
Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. (Hos. 
1:4.) 

d. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; 
they have provoked me to anger with their vanities; and I will move 
them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke 
them to anger with a foolish nation. (Dt. 32:21.) Behold, they are all 
vanity; their works are nothing; their molten images are wind and con- 
fusion. (Is. 41:29.) They that observe lying vanities forsake their own 
mercy. (Jonah 2:8.) As concerning therefore the eating of those things 
that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing 
in the world, and that there is none other God but one. (I Cor. 8:4.) 

e. That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the 
hypocrite but for a moment? (Job 20:5.) I have seen the wicked in 
great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree (35). Yet he 
passed away, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, hut he could not 
be found. (Ps. 37:35, 36.) 

f. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth; the 



wicked is snared in the work of his own hand.

26 For he walked in all the way of Jer-o- 
bS'am the son of Ne'bat, and in his sin where- 
with he made Is'ra-el to sin, to provoke the 
Lord God of is'ra-el to anger with their ^vani- 
ties. 

27 Now the rest of the acts of Om'ri which 
he did, and his might that he shewed, are they 
not written in the book of the chronicles of the 
kings of Is'ra-el? 

28 So Om'ri slept with his fathers, and was 
buried in Sa-ma'ri-a: and A'hab his son 
reigned in his stead. 

29 11 "And in the thirty and eighth year of 
A'sa king of Ju'dah began A'hab the son of 
Om'ri to reign over Is'ra-el : and A'hab the son 
of Om'ri reigned over Is'ra-el in Sa-ma'ri-a 
twenty and two years. 

30 And A'hab the son of Om'ri did evil in 
the sight of the "Lord above 1= all that were 
before him. 

31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a 
"light thing for him to walk in the sins of 
Jer-o-bo'am the son of Ne'bat, that he took to 
wife 15 Jez'e-bel the daughter of Eth'ba-al king 
of the Zi-d5 ni-ans, and went and served lc Ba'al, 
and worshipped him. 

32 And he reared up an altar for Ba'al in 
the house of Baal, which he had built in Sa- 
ma'ri-a. 

33 And "A'hab made a grove; and A'hab did 
more to provoke the ^ord God of Is'ra-el to 
anger than all the kings of Is'ra-el that were 
before him. 

34 f In his days did Hi'el the Beth'-el-Ite 
build 17 Jer'i-cho : he laid the "foundation there- 
of in "A-bi'ram his firstborn, and set up the 
gates thereof in his youngest ^on SS'gub, ac- 
cording ''to the word of the ^ord, which he 
spake by J5sh'u-a the son of Nun.

14. That is, it was nothing to 
him to break the commandments of 
God. 

15. The name from which has 
come the modern name Isabella — the 
first instance of an Israetitish king 
choosing a wife from among the Ca- 
naanites. This marriage has been 
pronounced a turning point in the 
history of Israel, as portrayed in the 
following chs. Her character em- 
braces all that is most terrible in the 
vicious and corrupt women of history. 

16. The chief heathen god of the 
Zidonians. 

17. In Josh. ,6:26, Joshua pro- 
nounced a curse upon the man who 
should attempt to rebuild the walls 
of Jericho. Several ' hundred years

so impious as to despise the curse. 
It had been inhabited but not fortified.

Ch. 17. B. C. 910. 

1. Elijah the Tishbite appears be- 
fore us in this ch. like a thuuderbolt 
cut of a clear sky. We have little 
knowledge of his pareutage. It is in- 
teresting to observe that whenever 
the powers of darkness appear incar- 
nate in some ruling personage, and 
a host of heathen gods are round 
about, then Jehovah prepares an in- 
carnation of the divine spirit to con- 
found the emissaries of Satan and to 
strengthen the hands of his own fol- 
lowers. In Elijah appears to be such 
an incarnation of the divine majesty. 
The very first sentence that E. utters 
is a denunciation of the wickedness 
of Ahab, and this denunciation he sup- 
ports by a solemn oath. V. 1: "As 
the Lord God of Israel liveth, before 
whom I stand, there shall not be dew 
nor rain these years." (Ja. 5:17) — 
"And it rained not on the earth by 
the space of three years and six 
months." The famine continued its 
ravages for three years and six 
months, at the end of which period 
E. again stood before Ahab to give 
the wicked king another opportunity 
of repenting and turning to Jehovah. 
The king advances to meet E. to 
accuse him face to face of being the 
author of their troubles, but E. hurls 
back the charge upon the wicked king 
and requests the king to summon an 
assembly on Mt. Carmel, that there 
they might prove who is the troubler 
Of Israel. Elijah proposes that This 
contest be decided by a miracle from 
heaven. As Baal, the heathen god, was 
supposed to preside over fire. E.. de- 
siring to give them every advantage 
possible to make the disgrace of their

stand, "there shall not be dew 3 nor rain 'these 
''years, but according to my word. 

2 And the word of the "Lord came unto him, 
saying, 

3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, 
and hide thyself by the brook Che'rith, that is 
before Jordan. 

4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of 
the brook; and C I have 'commanded the ravens 
to feed thee there. 

5 So he went and did according unto the 
word of the = Lord: for he went and dwelt by 
the brook Che'rith, that is before Jor'dan. 

6 And the ravens 'brought him bread and 
flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in 
the evening; and he drank of the brook. 

7 And it came to pass after a while, that 
the brook dried up, because there had been no 
rain in the land. 

8 1f And the word of the 5 Lord came unto 
him, saying, 

9 Arise, get thee to Zar'e-phath, which be- 
longeth.to Zi'don, and dwell there: behold, I 
have commanded a widow woman there to sus- 
tain thee. 

10 So he arose and went to Zar'e-phath. And 
when he came to the gate of the city, behold, 
the widow woman was there gathering of 
sticks: and he called to her, and said, d Feteh 
me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that 
I may drink. 

11 And as she was going to fetch it, he 
called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, 
a morsel of bread in thine hand. 

12 And she said, As the "Lord thy God 
liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of 
meal in a 'barrel, and a little oil in a °cruse: 
and, behold, I am gathering two "sticks, that 
I may go in and dress it for me and my son, 
that we may eat it, and die. 

13 And 'E-H'jah said unto her, Fear not; 
go and do as thou hast said: but make me 
thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, 
and after make for thee and for thy son. 

14 For thus saith the "Lord God of Is'ra-el, 
The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither 
shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that 
the 5 Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. 

15 And she went and did c according to the 



defeat the keener, proposes that an 
offering be placed upon the altar and 
that each pray to his god for the 
fire to consume the offering (I Ks. 
18:24). The offer is accepted. The 
Baalites. amidst all the heathen or- 
gies of their idolatrous worship, pray 
long and loud for fire, but Baal re- 
sponds not, and they finally, through 
sheer exhaustion, are compelled to 
acknowledge that their god will not 
hoar them. Then E. reverently and 
humbly appears before Jehovah, and, 
charging God with the care and pro- 
tection of his covenant, his truth, and 
his glory, prays for an answer. Be- 
hold, the fire from heaven comes down 
and not only consumes the offering, 



l>ut also licks up the water around 
the altar which E. had poured upon 
it. The effect was what E. wanted 
and the people exclaimed with one 
voice: "The Lord, he is God." E. 
now commands the people to kill the 
juggling priests of Baal. Ahab gives 
his consent. E. then prays for rain, 
and Jehovah sends it. (Ja. 5:1S) — 
"And he prayed again and the heav- 
ens gave rain and the earth brought 
forth her fruit." For many years E. 
endeavors to reform Israel, but finally 
Jehovah calls him up higher, the 
prophet is translated and without 
death is taken to heaven. His man- 
tle was transferred to Elisha. 
2. The reader should observe that 



in contrast to Ahab's lifeless idol- 
god, E. is constantly calling upon the 
living god — a statement peculiar to 
himself. 

3. A punishment which Jehovah 
had threatened, and which Elijah was 
now executing, in the case of idol- 
atry. (Dt. 11:16, 17) — "Take heed to 
yourselves, that your heart be not 
deceived, and you turn aside and 
serve other gods, and worship them; 
and then the Lord's wrath be kindled 
against you. and he shut up the heav- 
en and there be no rain." 

4. The indictment. "These years'' 
is used, leaving the length of time 
to be determined by the obstinacy of 
Ahab's wickedness. 



5. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

6. God takes care of his own. 

7. The rationalistic schools have 
vainly attempted to explain this by 
natural means, but the fact remains, 
nevertheless, that at the command of 
Jehovah, the ravens provided for the 
wants of Elijah. 

8. A bucket or jar. 

9. A flask. 

10. That is. a few sticks; as in Is. 
7:21, "Two sheep." and in Hos. 6:2. 
"Two days," means a few sheep and 
a few days. 

11. A miracle similar to Jesus' 
feeding the multitude with five loaves 
and two fishes. 



g. Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people be- 
cause of them that dwell in a far country; Is not the Lord in Zion? is 
not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their 
graven images, and with strange vanities? (Jer. 8:19.) And saying, 
Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of Uke passions with 
you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto 
the living God, which made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all 
things that are therein. (Acts 14:15.) 

h. But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be 
born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and 
that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Num. 15:30.) And 
Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before 
the Lord that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho; he shall lay the 
foundation thereof in his first-born, and in his youngest son shall he set 
up the gates of it. (Josh. 6:26.) It is time for thee, Lord, to work; for 
they have made void thy iaw. (Ps. 119:126.) Whoso despiseth the woid 
shall be destroyed; but he that feareth the commandment shall be re- 
I. (Prov. i 

Chapter 17. 

a. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he 
prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth 
by the space of three years and six months. (Ja. 5:17.) 

b. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days 



of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when 
great famine was throughout all the land. (Luke 4:25.) 

c. Trust in the Lord, and do good: so shalt thou dwell in the land, 
and verily thou shalt be fed. (Ps. 37:3.) 

d. The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and 
they that dwell therein. (Ps. 24:1.) He shall dwell on high: his place 
of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; bread shall be given him; 
his waters shall be sure. (Is. 33:16.) There cometh a woman of Sa- 
maria to draw water; Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (Jno. 
4:7.) They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain 
with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; be- 
ing destitute, afflicted, tormented. (Heb. 11:3V.) 

e. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the 
wilderness of Tekca; and as they went forth. Jehoshaphat stood and 
said. Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the 
Lord your God, so shall ve be established; believe his prophets, so shall 
ye prosper. (II Chr. 20:20.) He that receiveth a prophet in the name 
of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a 
righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous 
man's reward (41). And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of 
these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, 
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. (Mat 
10:41, 42.)

saying of 'E-li'jah: and she, and he, and her 
house, did eat many days. 

16 And the s barrel ^of meal wasted not, 
neither did the "cruse of oil fail, according to 
the word of the "Lord, which he spake by 
'E-li'jah. 

17 11 And it came to pass after these things, 
that the son of the woman, the mistress of the 
house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, 
that there was no breath left in him. 

18 And she said unto 'E-li'jah, What have I 
to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou 
come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, 
and to slay my son? 

19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. 
And he took him out of her bosom, and car- 
ried him up into a "loft, where he abode, and 
laid him upon his own bed. 

20 And he cried unto #the 5 Lord, and said, 

5 Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil 
upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slay- 
ing her son? 

21 And he ''stretched himself upon the child 
three 13 times, and cried unto the 3 Lord, and 
said, 5 Lord my God, I pray thee, let this 
child's soul come into him again. 

22 And the 5 Lord heard the voice of TS-H'- 
jah; and the soul of the child came into him 
again, and he 'revived. 

23 And 'E-li'jah took the child, and brought 
him down out of the chamber into the house, 
and delivered him unto his mother: and E-li'- 
jah said, See, thy "son liveth.- 

24 H And the woman said to 'E-li'jah, Now 
by this I know that thou art a man of God, 
and that the word of the "Lord in thy mouth 
is truth. 

CHAPTER 18. 

1 Elijah, sent to Ahab, meeteth good Obadiah. 
9 Obadiah bringeth Ahab to Elijah. 17 Eli- 
jah, reproving Ahab, by fire from heaven 
convinceth Baal's prophets. 41 Elijah, by 
prayer obtaining rain, followeth Ahab to 
Jezreel. 

1 'And it came to pass after many days, 
that the word of the 2 Lord came to "E-li'jah in 
the 'third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto 
A'hab; "and I will send rain upon the earth. 

2 And 3 E-li'jah went to shew himself unto 
A'hab. And there was a sore famine in Sa- 
ma'ri-a. 

3 And A'hab called O-ba-di'ah, which was 
the governor of his house. (Now O-ba-di'ah 
6 f eared the 2 Lord greatly: 

4 For it was so, when 5 Jez'e-bel cut off the 
prophets of the 2 Lord, that O-ba-di'ah took an 
hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a 
cave, and c fed them with bread and water.) 

5 And A'hab said unto O-ba-di'ah, Go into

unto all brooks: peradventure we may find

13. Compare this action with Eli- 
sha in raising the widow's sou. < II 
Ks. 4:34) — "And he went up, and lay 
upon the child, and put his mouth up- 
on his mouth, and his eyes upon his 
eyes, and his hands upon his hands; 
and he stretched himself upon the 
child; and the flesh of the child waxed 
warm." Three was a sacred number 
and the prophet's stretching himsell 
three times upon the child Was in 
keeping with their three-fold form of 
daily prayer. (Dan. 6.10) — "And his 
windows being open in his chamber, 
toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon 
his knees three times a day and 
prayed and gave thanks before his 
God, as he did aforetime." Notice 
also the three-fold benediction of the 
high priest. (Num. 6:24-26)— "The 
Lord bless thee and keep thee; the 
Lord make his face to shine upon 
thee and be gracious unto thee; the 
Lord lift up his countenance upon 
thee and give thee peace."

we lose not all the beasts. 

6 So they divided the land between them to 
pass throughout it: A'hab went one way by 
himself, and O-ba-di'ah went another way by 
himself. 

7 11 And as O-ba-di'ah was in the way, be- 
hold, 3 E-lI'jah met him: and he knew him, and 
fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my 
lord E-li'jah? 

8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy 
lord, Behold, 'E-li'jah is here. 

9 And he said, What have °I sinned, that 
thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand 
of A'hab, to slay me? 

10 As the 2 Lord thy God liveth, there is no 
7 nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not 
sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is 
not there; he took s an oath of the kingdom 
and nation, that they found thee not. 

11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, 
Behold, 3 E-li'jah is here. 

12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I 
am gone from thee, that the ^Spirit of the 
"Lord "shall carry thee whither_ I know not; 
and so when I come and tell A'hab, and he 
cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy 
servant fear the 2 Lord from my youth. 

13 Was it not told my lord what I did when 
Jez'e-bel slew the prophets o"f the 2 Lord, how 
I hid an hundred men of the Lord's prophets 
by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread 
and water? 

14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, 
Behold, 3 E-li'jah is here: and he shall slay me. 

15 And E-li'jah said, As the "Lord of hosts 
liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew 
myself unto him to day. 

16 So O-ba-di'ah went to meet A'hab, and 
told him: and A'hab went to meet 3 E_-li'jah. 

17 II And it came to pass, when A'hab saw 
'E-li'jah, that A'hab said unto him, Art thou 
r he that troubleth Is'ra-el? 

18 And he answered, I have not troubled 
Is'ra-el; but thou, and thy father's house, in 
^that ye have forsaken the commandments of 
the 2 Lord, and thou hast followed Ba'al-im. 

19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all 
is'ra-el unto mount Car'mel, and the prophets 
of Ba'al four hundred and fifty, and the proph- 
ets of the groves four hundred, which eat at 
'■'Jez'e-bel's table. 

20 So A'hab sent unto all the children of 
Is'ra-el, and gathered the prophets together 
unto mount Car'mel. 

21 And 3 E-li'jah came unto all the people, 
and said, How r dong halt ye between two opin- 
ions? if the 2 Lord be God, follow him: but if 
Ba'al, then follow him. And the people an- 
swered him not a word. 

22 Then said 3 E-li'jah unto the people, I, 
even I "only, remain a prophet of the 2 Lord; 



f. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved 
when thou givest unto him; because that for this ihing the Lord thy 
God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine 
hand unto. (Dt. 15:10.) There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; 
a>nd there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to 
poverty. (Prov. 11:24.) 

g. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall 
raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven 
him. (Ja. 5:15.) 

h. And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth 
upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his 
hands; and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the 
child waxed warm (34). Then he returned, and walked in the house to 
and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him; and the child 
sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. (II Ks. 4:34, 35.) 

i. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no God with me; 
I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; neither is there any 
that can deliver out of mine hand. (Dt. 32:39.) And he came and 
touched the bier; and they that bare him stood still. And he said, 
Young man, I say unto thee. Arise. (Luke 7:14.) Women received their 
dead raised to life again; and others were tortured, not accepting deliv- 
erance; that they might obtain a better resurrection. (Heb. 11:35.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to 
give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of 
thine hand; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt 
not borrow. (Dt. 28:12.) 



b. See e, ch. 12, I Sam. 

c. He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, 
receiveth him that sent me (40). He that receiveth a prophet in the 
name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that re- 
ceiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive 
a righteous man's reward (41). And whosoever shall give to drink unto 
one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disci- 
ple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. (Mat. 
10:40-42.) 

d. So the spirit lifted me up, and took me -away, and I went in bit- 
terness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong 
upon me. (Ezek. 3:14.) And when they were come up out of the water, 
the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no 
more; and he went on his way rejoicing. (Acts 8:39.) 

e. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow 
perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying 
that he himself is Christ a King. (Luke 23:2.) 

f. And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, 
Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be 
with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye for- 
sake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 

g. No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other: or else he will hold to the one, and despise the 
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Mat. 6:24.) So these na- 
tions feared the Lord, and served their graven images, both their chil- 
dren, and their children's children; as did their fathers, so do they 
unto this day. (II Ks. 17:41.)

23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; 
and let them choose one bullock for themselves, 
and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and 
put no fire under: and I will dress the other 
bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire 
under : 

24 And call ye on the name of your gods, 
and I will call on the name of the "Lord: and 
the God that answereth by "fire, let him be 
God. And all the people answered and said, 
It is well spoken. 

25 And E-li'jah said unto the prophets of 
Ba'al, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, 
and dress it first; for ye are many; and call 
on the name of your gods, but put no fire 
under. 

26 And they took the bullock which was 
given them, and they dressed it, and called on 
the name of Ba'al from morning even until 
noon, saying, Ba'al, hear us. But there was 
no voice, nor any that answered. And they 
leaped upon the altar which was made. 

27 And it came to pass at noon, that "E-li- 
jah mocked them, and said, Ciy aloud: for he 
is a god; either he is talking, or he is pur- 
suing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure 
he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 

28 And they tried aloud, and "cut them- 
selves after their manner with knives and 
lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 

29 And it came to pass, when midday was 
past, A and they prophesied until the time of 
the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there 
was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any 
that regarded. 

30 And r E-li"jah said unto all the people, 
Come near unto me. And all the people came 
near unto him. And he repaired the altar of 
the : Lord that was broken down. 

31 And "E-li'jah took twelve stones, accord- 
ing to the number of the tribes of the sons of 
Ja'cob, unto whom the word of the 'Lord came, 
saying, Is'ra-el shall be thy name: 

32 And with the stones he built an altar in 
the name 'of the ^Lord: and he made a trench 
about the altar, as great as would contain 
li two measures of seei. 

33 And he put the wood in order, and cut 
the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, 
and said, Fill four "barrels with water, and 
pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 

34 And he said, Do it the second time. And 
they did it the second time. And he said, Do 
it the third time. And they did it the third 
time. 

35 And the water ran round about the altar; 
and he filled the trench also with water. 

36 And it came to pass at the time of the 
offering of the evening sacrifice, that s E-li'jah 
the • prophet came near, and said, ^Lord God 
of A bra-ham, I'saac, and of Is'ra-el, -'let it 
be known this day that thou art God in Is'- 
ra-el, and that I am thy servant, and that I 
have done all these things at thy word. 

37 Hear me, "Lord, hear me, that this 
people may know that thou art the TLord God, 
and that thou hast 'turned their heart back 
again.

8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and 
went in the strength of that. meat 'forty days 
and forty nights unto "Ho'reb the mount of 
God. 

9 II And he came thither unto a cave, and 
lodged there; and, behold, the word of the 
'Lord came to him, and he said unto him, 
What doest thou here, "E-li'jah? 

10 And he said, I have been very jealous for 
the 'Lord God of hosts: for the children of 
Is'ra-el have forsaken thy covenant, thrown 
down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with 
the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and 
they seek my life, to take it away. 

11 And he said, Gc forth, and stand ''upon 
the mount before the 'Lord. And, behold, the 
'Lord "passed by, and a great and strong wind 
rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the 
rocks before the "Lord; but the Lord was not 
in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; 
but the 'Lord was not in the earthquake: 

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the 
'Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a 
still small voice. 

13 And it was so, when = E-li'jah heard it, 
that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and 
went out, and stood in the entering in of the 
cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto 
him, and said, What doest thou here, E-lT'jah? 

14 And he said, I have been very jealous 
for the 'Lord God of hosts: because the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el have forsaken thy covenant, 
thrown down thine altars, and slain thy proph- 
ets with the sword; and I, even I only, am 
left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 

15 And the "Lord said unto him, Go, return 
on thy way to the wilderness of Da-mas'cus: 
r and when thou comest, anoint Haz'a-el to be 
king over Syr'i-a: 

16 And Jehu the son of Nim'shi shalt thou 
anoint to be king over Is'ra-el: and 12 E-li'sha 
the son of Sha'phat of A'bel-me-ho'lah shalt 
thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. 

17 And it shall come to pass, that him that 
escapeth the sword of Haz'a-el shall Je'hu 
slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of 
Je'hu shall E-li'sha slay.

CHAPTER 20. 

1 Ben-hadad besiegeth Samaria. 13 By the 
direction of a prophet, the Syrians are slain. 
22 As the prophet forewarned Ahab, the 
Syrians come against him in Aphek. 28 
The Syrians are smitten again. 31 The Syr- 
ians submitting themselves, Ahab sendeth 
Ben-hadad aivay with a covenant. 35 The 
prophet denounceth God's judgment against 
him. 

1 And Ben-ha'dad the king of Syr'i-a gath- 
ered all his host together: and there were 
thirty and two kings with him, and horses, 
and chariots: and he went up and besieged 
Sa-ma'ri-a, and warred against it. v 

2 And he sent messengers to A'hab king of 
Is'ra-el into the city, and said unto him, Thus 
saith Ben-ha'dad, 

3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy 
wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, 
are mine. 

4 And the king of is'ra-el answered and 
said, My lord, O king, according to thy say- 
ing, a I am thine, and all that I have. 

5 And the messengers came again, and said, 
Thus speaketh Ben-ha'dad, saying, Although I 
have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver 
me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, 
and thy children; 

6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to 
morrow about this time, and they shall search 
thine house, and the houses of thy servants; 
and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in 
thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and 
take it away. 

7 Then the king of Is'ra-el called all the 
6 elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, 
and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he 
sent unto me for my wives, and for my chil- 
dren, and for my silver, and for my gold; and 
I denied him not. 

8 And all the elders and all the people said 
unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent. 

9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of 
Ben-ha'dad, Tell my lord the king, All that 
thou didst send for to thy servant at the first 
I will do: but this thing I. may not do. And 
the messengers departed, . and brought him 
word again. 

10 And Ben-ha'dad sent unto him, and said, 
The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the 
dust of Sa-ma'ri-a shall suffice for handfuls 
for all the people that follow me. 

11 And the king of Is'ra-el answered and 
said, Tell him, c Let not him that girdeth on 
his harness boast himself as he that putteth 
it off. 

12 And it came to pass, when Ben-ha'dad 
heard this message, as he was ^drinking, he 
and the kings in the 'pavilions, that he said 
unto his servants, Set yourselves in 2 array. 



b. And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, 
and be there; and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and com- 
mandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. (Ex. 
24:12.) 

c. And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, 
Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel; 
their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou 
slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their 
women with child (12). And Hazael said. But what, is thy servant a 
dog. that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord 
hath shown me that thou shalt be king over Syria. (II Ks. 8:12, 13.) 

d. And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten 
images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, 
all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that 
sacrifice kiss the calves. (Hos. 13:2.) 

e. And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and 
offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt 
sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen 
for wood. (II Sam. 24:22.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, which the Lord shall 



send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in 
want of all things; and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck until 
he have destroyed thee. (Dt. 28:48.) 

b. Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, 
The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of 
Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen 
that which is done to you in Egypt. (Ex. 3:16.) So all the elders of 
Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with 
them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over 
Israel. (II Sam. 5:3.) 

c. Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a 
day may bring forth. (Prov. 27:1.) Better is the end of a thing than the 
beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in 
spirit. (Ecc. 7:8.) 

d. It is not for. kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; 
nor for princes strong drink (4): Lest they drink, and forget the law. 
and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. (Prov. 31:4, 5.) Woe 
to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the 
morning! (16). Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of 
nobles, and thv princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for 
drunkenness! (Ecc. 10:16, 17.)

And they set themselves in array against the 
city. 

13 r And, behold, there came a prophet unto 
A'hab king of Is'ra-el, saying, Thus saith the 

Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? 
behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this 
day; and thou shalt know that I am the 
"Lord. 

14 And A'hab said, By whom? And he said, 
Thus saith the s Lord, Even by the young men 
of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, 
Who shall order the battle? And he answered, 
Thou. 

15 Then he numbered the young men of the 
princes of the provinces, and they were two 
hundred and thirty two: and after them he 
numbered all the people, even all the children 
of is'ra-el, being seven thousand. 

16 And they went out at noon. But Ben- 
ha'dad was ^drinking himself drunk in the pa- 
vilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two 
kings that helped him. 

17 And the young men of the princes of the 
provinces went out first; and Ben-ha'dad sent 
out, and they told him, saying, There are men 
come out of Sa-ma'ri-a. 

18 And he said, -"Whether they be come out 
for peace, take them alive; or whether they be 
come out for war, take them alive. 

19 So these young men of the princes of the 
jn'ovinces came out of the city, and the army 
which followed them. 

20 And they slew every one his man: and 
the ; 'Syr'i-ans fled; and Is'ra-el pursued them: 
and Ben-ha'dad the king of Syr'I-a escaped 
on an horse with the horsemen. 

21 And the king of Is'ra-el went out, and 
smote the horses and chariots, and slew the 
Syr'i-ans with a great slaughter. 

' 22 If And the prophet came to the king of 
is'ra-el, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thy- 
self, and mark, and see what thou doest: for 
at the return of the year the king of Sj'r'i-a 
will come up against thee. 

23 And the servants of the king of Syrl-a 
said unto him, Their f gods are gods of the 
4 hills; therefore they were stronger than we; 
but let us fight against them in the plain, and 
surely we shall be stronger than they. 

24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, 
every man out of his place, and put captains 
in their rooms: 

25 And number thee an army, like the army 
that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot 
for chariot: and we will fight against them in 
the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than 
they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and 
did so. 

26 And it came to pass at the return of the 
year, that Ben-ha'dad numbered the Syr'i-ans, 
and went up to A'phek, to fight against Is'- 
ra-el. 

27 And the children of Is'ra-el were num-

bered, and were all present, and went against 
them: and the children of Is'ra-el pitched be- 
fore them like two little flocks of kids; but the 
Syr'i-ans filled the country. 

28 U And there came a man of God, and 
spake unto the king of Is'ra-el, and said, Thus 
saith the "Lord, 'Because the Syr'i-ans have 
said, The 'Lord is God of the hills, but he is 
not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver 
all this great multitude into thine hand, and 
ye shall know that I am the : Lord. 

29 And they pitched one over against the 
other seven days. And so it was, that in the 
seventh day the battle was joined: and the 
children of Is'ra-el slew of the Syr'i-ans an 
hundred thousand footmen in one day. 

30 But the rest fled to A'phek, into the city; 
and there a wall 'fell upon twenty and seven 
thousand of the men that were left. And Ben- 
ha'dad fled, and came into the city, into an 
inner chamber. 

31 r And his servants said unto him, Be- 
hold now, we have heard that the kings of the 
house of Is'ra-el are merciful kings: let us, I 
pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes 
upon our heads, and go out to the king of Is'- 
ra-el : peradventure he will save thy life. 

32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, 
and put ropes on their heads, and came to the 
king of Is'ra-el, and said, Thy servant Ben-ha'- 
dad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he 
said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother. 

33 Now the men did diligently observe 
whether any thing would come from him, and 
did hastily catch it : and they said, Thy brother 
Ben-ha'dad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. 
Then Ben-ha'dad came forth to him; and he 
caused him to come up into the chariot. 

34 And Ben-ha'dad said unto him, The 
cities, which my father took from thy father, 
I will restore; and thou shalt make streets 
for thee in Da-mas'cus, _as my father made in 
Sa-ma'ii-a. Then said A'hab, I will send thee 
away with this covenant. So A he made a cove- 
nant with him, and sent him away. 

35 r And a certain man of the sons T of the 
prophets said unto his neighbour 7 in the word 
of the 3 Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the 
man refused to smite him. 

36 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast 
not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as 
soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall 
slay thee. And as soon as he was departed 
from him, a lion found him, and slew him. 

37 Then he found another man, and said, 
Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote 
him, so that in smiting he wounded him. 

38 So the prophet departed, and waited for 
the king by the way, and disguised himself 
with ashes upon his face. 

39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto 
the king: and he said, Thy servant went out 
into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a 



e. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent 
dealings shall come down upon his own pate. (Ps. 7:16.) The Lord is 
known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the 
work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 9:16.) 

f. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is de- 
ceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20:1.) Whoredom and wine and new 
wine take away the heart. (Hos. 4:11.) And be not drunk with wine, 
wherein is excess: but be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:18.) 

g. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out 
of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions 
are weighed. (I Sam. 2:3.) When pride cometh. then cometh shame; 
but with the lowly is wisdom. (Prov. 11:2.) Pride goeth before de- 
struction, and ah haughty spirit before a fall. (Prov. 16:18.) Before 
destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility. 
fProv. IS :12. 1 For whosoever exalteth" himself shall be abased; and 
he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. (Luke 14:11.) 

h. And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you 
shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before 
you by the sword. (Lev. 26:8.) There is no king saved by the multi- 
tude of an host; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. (Ps. 
33:16.) 

i. I am the Lord; that is my name; and my glory will I not give 
to another, neither my praise to graven images. (Is. 42:8.) O Lord, my 
strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the 
Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, 



Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there 
is no profit (19). Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no 
gods? (20). Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I 
will cause them to know mine hand and my might: and they shall 
know that mv name is The Lord. (Jer. 16:19-21.) Because that, when 
they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: 
but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was 
darkened (21). Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools 
(22), And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image 
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and 
creeping things. (Rom. 1:21-23.) 

j. Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into 
mine ears; therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in 
thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou earnest. 
(Is. 37:29.) 

k. Because ye have said. We have made a covenant with death, and 
with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass 
through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, 
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. (Is. 28:15.) 

1. For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat 
no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that 
thou earnest (17). He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art: 
and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring 
him back with thee unto thine house, that he may eat bread and drink 
water. But he lied unto him. (I Ks. 13:17, 18.)

man turned aside, and brought a man unto 
me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means 
he be missing, then shall thy life be for his 
life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 

40 And as thy servant was busy here and 
there, he was gone. And the king of Is'ra-el 
said unto him, '"So shall thy judgment be; 
thyself hast decided it. 

41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away 
from his face; and the king of is'ra-el 
discerned him that he was of the prophets. 

42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand 
a man 'whom I appointed to utter destruction, 
therefore thy life shall go for his life, and 
thy people for his people. 

43 And the king of Is'ra-el "went to his 
house heavy and displeased, and came to Sa- 
ma'ri-a. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 Ahab coveteth A T aboth's vineyard. 5 Jezebel 
writing letters against Naboth, he is con- 
demned of blasphemy. 15 Ahab taketh pos- 
session of the vineyard. 17 Elijah denounc- 
eth judgments against Ahab and Jezebel. 
25 Ahab repenting, God deferreth the judg- 
ment. 

1 And it came to pass after these things, 
that Na'both the Jez're-el-Ite had a vineyard, 
which was in Jez're-el, hard by the palace of 
A'hab king of Sa-ma'ri-a. 

2 And A'hab spake unto Na'both, saying, 
Give "me thy vineyard, that I may have it for 
a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my 
house: and I will give thee for it a better vine- 
yard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will 
give thee the worth of it in money. 

3 And Na'both said to A'hab, The 'Lord for- 
bid it me, Hhat I should give the inheritance 
of my fathers unto thee. 

4 And A'hab came into his house heavy and 
displeased because of the word which Na'both 
the Jez're-el-Ite had spoken to him: for he had 
said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my 
fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, 
and turned away his face, and would eat no 
bread. 

5 1f But Jez'e-bel his wife came to him, and 
said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that 
thou eatest no bread? 

6 And he said unto her, Because I spake 
unto Na'both the Jez're-el-Ite, and said unto 
him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, 
if it please thee, I will give thee another vine- 
yard for it: and he answered, I will not give 
thee my vineyard. 

7 And Jez'e-bel his wife said unto him, Dost 
thou c now govern the kingdom of Is'ra-el? 
arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be 
merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Na'both 
the Jez're-el-Ite.

sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters

him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou

carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 

11 And the men of his city, even the elders 
snd the nobles who were the inhabitants in his 
city, did as Jez'e-bel had sent unto them, and 
as it was written in the letters which she had 
sent unto them. 

12 They 'proclaimed a fast, and set Na'both 
on high among the people. 

13 And there came in two 'men, children of 
4 Be'li-al, and sat before him: and the men of 
Be'H-al witnessed against him, even against 
Na'both, in the presence of the people, saying, 
Na'both did blaspheme God and the king. Then 
they carried him forth out of the city, and 
stoned him with stones, that. he died. 

14 Then they sent to 6 Jez'e-bel, saying, Na'- 
both is stoned, and is dead. 

15 If And it came to pass, when Jez'e- bel heard 
that Na'both was_ stoned, and was dead, that 
Jez'e-bel said to A'hab, Arise, take possession 
of the vineyard of Na'both the Jez're-el-Ite, 
which he refused to give thee for money: for 
Na'both is not alive, but dead. 

16 And it came to pass, when A'hab heard 
that Na'both was dead, that A'hab rose up to 
go down to the vineyard of Na'both the Jez'- 
re-el-Ite, to take possession of it. 

17 If And the word of the 'Lord came to 
T E-H'jah the Tish'blte, saying,

Is'ra-el, which is in Sa-ma'ri-a: behold, he is 
in the vineyard of Na'both, whither he is gone 
down to possess it. 

19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, 
Thus saith the 'Lord, Hast ^thou killed, and 
also taken possession?. And thou. shalt speak 
unto him, saying, Thus saith the 'Lord, In the 
place where dogs °licked the blood of Na'bSth 
shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. 

20 And A'hab said to 7 E-H'jah, Hast thou 
found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, 
e I have found thee: because thou hast '"sold 
thyself to work evil in the sight of the 'Lord. 

21 Behold, 1 will bring evil upon thee, and 
will take away thy posterity, and will cut off 
from A'hab him that pisseth against the wall, 
and him that is shut up and left in Is'ra-el, 

22 And will make thine house like the house 
of Jer'o-bo'am, the son of* Ne'bat, and like the 
house of Ba'a-sha the son of A-hl'jah, for the 
provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me 
to anger, and made Is'ra-el to sin.

saying, The dogs shall n eat Jez'e-bel by the 
wall of Jez're-el.

thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knew- 
est that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and 
reaping that I did not sow. (Luke 19:22.) 

n. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one 
man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the Lord; 
but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. 
And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. (I Ks. 22:8.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet 
thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his 
ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. (Ex. 20:17.) Woe 
to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set 
his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! (Hab. 
2:9.) And he said unto them. Take heed, and beware of covetousness; 
for a man's life eonsisteth not in the abundance of the things which tie 
possesseth. (Luke 12:15.) Mortify therefore your members wtiicti are 
upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil con- 
cupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry (5). For which things' 
sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. (Col. 
3:5, 6.) 

b. The land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye 



are strangers and sojourners with me. (Lev. 25:23.) So shall not the 
inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for 
every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance 
of the tribe of his fathers. (Num. 36:7.) 

c. , And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, 
and give to his officers, and to his servants. (I Sam. 8:15.) 

d. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And 
he said, I know not; Am I my brother's keeper? (Gen. 4:9.) Where- 
fore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his 
sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast 
taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the 
children of Ammon. (II Sam. 12:9'.) 

e. That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him 
that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. 
(Is. 29:21.) They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor 
him that speaketh uprightly. (Amos 5:10.) 

f. To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall 
slide in due time; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the 
things that shall come upon them make hasfe. (Dt. 32:35.) For the 
whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab him that 
pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.

whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself. (Ps. 94:1.)

25 r But there was none like unto A'hab, 
which did sell himself to work wickedness in 
the sight of the L Lord. whom Jez'e-bel his wife 
stirred up. 

26 And he did very abo mi nably in following 
idols, according to all things as did the Am'or- 
Ites, whom the "Lord cast out before the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el. 

27 And it came to pass, when A'hab heard 
those words, that he rent his clothes, and put 
sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in 
sackcloth, and went softly. 

28 And the word of the Lord came to E-li'- 
jah the Tishhite, saying, 

29 Seest thou how A'hab ^humbleth himself 
before me? because he humbleth himself be- 
fore me, I will not bring the evil in his days : 
but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon 
his house.

war between Syr'i-a and Is'ra-el. 

2 And it came to pass in the third year, that 
Je-h5sh'a-phat the king of Ju'dah came down 
to the king of Is'ra-el. 

3 And the king of Is'ra-el said unto his serv- 
ants, Know ye that Ra'moth in Gil'e-ad is 
our's, and we be still",, and take it not out of 
the hand of the king of Syr'i-a? 

4 And he said unto Je-hosh'a-phat. Wilt thou 
go with me to battle to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad? And 
Je-hosh'a-phat said to the king of Is'ra-el, 1 
am as thou art, my people as thy people, my 
horses as thy horses. 

5 And Je-hdsh'a-phat said unto the king of 
Is'ra-el, Enquire, I pray thee, at "the word of 
the "Lord to day. 

6 Then the king of Is'ra-el ^gathered the 
prophets together, about ^four & hundred men, 
and said unto them, Shall I go against Ri'- 
moth-gil'e-ad to battle, or shall I forbear? 
And they said, Go up; for the s Lord shall de- 
liver it into the hand of the king. 

7 And °Je-h5sh'a-phat said, is there not here 
a prophet of the c Lord besides, that we might 
enquire of him? 

8 And the king of is'ra-el said unto -Je-hosh'- 
a-phat, °"There is yet one man, Mi-ca'iah the son 
of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the 
E Lord: but I hate him; for he doth not prophe- 
sy good concerning me, but evil. And Je-hosh'- 
a-phat said, Let not the king say so. 

9 Then the king of Is'ra-el called an officer, 
and said, Hasten hither Mi-ca'iah the son of

the entrance of the gate of Sa-ma'ri-a; and all 
the prophets prophesied before them. 

11 And Zed-e-ki'ah the son of Che-na'a-nah 
made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus 
saith the 'Lord, With these shalt thou push the 
Syr 'i-ans, until thou have consumed them. 

12 And all the prophets prophesied so, say- 
ing, Go up to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad, and prosper: 
for the 'Lord shall deliver it into the king's 
hand. 

13 And the messenger that was gone to call 
Mi-ca'iah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, 
the words of the prophets declare good unto 
the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray 
thee, be like the word of one of them, and 
speak that which is good. 

14 And Mi-ca'iah said, As the c Lord liveth, 
what the "Lord saith unto me, that will I speak. 

15 r So he came to the king. And the king 
said unto him, Mi-ca'iah, shall we go against 
Ra'moth-gil'e-ad to battle, or shall we forbear? 
And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for 
the 'Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the 
king. 

16 And the king said unto him. How many 
times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me 
nothing but that which is true in the name of 
the "Lord? 

17 And he said, I saw all Is'ra-el scattered 
upon the hills, as 5 sheep that have not a shep- 
herd: and the 'Lord said, These have no mas- 
ter : let them return every man to his house in 
peace. 

18 And the king of Is'ra-el said unto Je- 
hosh'a-phat, Did I not tell thee that he would 
prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? 

19 And he said. Hear thou therefore the 
word of the 'Lord: I saw the TLord °sitting on 
his throne, f and all the host of heaven standing 
by him on his right hand and on his left. 

20 And the 'Lord said, "Who shall persuade 
A'hab, that he may go up and fall at Ra'moth- 
gil'e-ad? And one said on this manner, and 
another said on that manner. 

21 And there came forth a T spirit, and stood 
before the "Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 

22 And the Lord said unto him, "Where- 
with? And he said, I will go forth, and I will 
be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his 
prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade 
him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 

23 Now therefore, behold, the 'Lord hath put 
a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy 
prophets, and the 'Lord hath spoken evil con- 
cerning thee. 

24 But Zed-e-ki'ah the son of Che-na'a-nah 
went near, and smote Mi-ca'iah on the cheek, 
and said, Which way went the Spirit of the 
'Lord from me to speak unto thee? 

25 And Mi-ca'iah said, Behold, thou shalt 
see in that day, when thou shalt go into an 
inner chamber to hide thvself.

and enquired early after God (34). And they remembered that God was

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they sted-

a. Xow therefore send, and gSther to me all Israel unto mount 
Carmel. and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the

Ks. 1S:19.) 

b. Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that 
prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own 
hearts. Hear ye the word of the Lord (2). Thus saith the Lord God: 
Woe unto the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and have 
seen nottr I Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the des- 
erts (4). Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge 
for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord (5). 
They have seen vanity jfnd lying divination, saying. Th3 Lord saith, 
and the Lord hath not sent them; and they have made others to hope 
that they would confirm the word (6). Have ye not seen a vain vision, 
and have ye not spoken a lvine divination, whereas ye say. The Lord 
saith it: albeit I have not spoken? (')■ Therefore thus saith the Lord 



God, Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I 
am against you, saith the Lord God iS). And mine hand shall be upon 
the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies; they shall not be in 
the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing 
of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; 
and ye shall know that I am the Lord God. (Ezek.. 13:2-?. i 

c. But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, 
that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the king of 
Israel's servants answered and said. Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, 
which poured water on the hands of Elijah. (II Ks. 3:11.) 

d. And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: 
for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down 
thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I. even I only, 
am left: and they seek my life, to take it away. (I Ks. 19:16.) 

e. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel In strength, that do his 
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word (20). Bless ye 
the Lord, all ye his hosts: ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 
(Ps. 103:20, 21.) And the man that stood among the myrtle trees an- 
swered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and 
fro through the earth. (Zech. 1:10.) And of the angels he saith. Who 
maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire (7). Are they 
not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be 
heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:7, 14.)

And he said, Hearken, people, every one of

29 So the king of Is'ra-el and Je-h5sh'a-phat 
the king of Ju'dah went up to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

30 And the king of is'ra-el said unto Je- 
hosh'a-phat, I will disguise myself, and enter 
into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. 
And the king of Is'ra-el disguised himself, and 
went into the battle. 

31 But the king of Syr'i-a commanded his 
thirty and two captains that had rule over his 
chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor 
great, save only with the king of Is'ra-el. 

32 And it carne to pass, when the captains 
of the chariots saw Je-hosh'a-phat, that they 
said, Surely it is the king of Is'ra-el. And 
they turned aside to fight against him: and Je-

of the chariots perceived that it was not the 
king of Is'ra-el, that they turned back from 
pursuing him. 

34 And a certain man drew a bow at a ven- 
ture, and smote the king of Is'ra-el between 
the joints of the harness: wherefore he said 
unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, 
and carry me out of the host; for I am 
wounded. 

35 And the battle increased that day: and 
the king was stayed up in his chariot against 
the Syr'I-ans, and died at even: and the blood 
ran out of the wound into the midst of the 
chariot. 

36 And there went a proclamation through- 
out the host about, the going down of the sun, 
saying, Every man' to his city, and every man 
to his own country. 

37 11 So the king died, and was brought to 
Sa-ma'ri-a; and they buried the king in Sa- 
ma'ri-a. 

38 And one -washed the chariot in the pool 
of Sa-ma'ri-a; and the "'dogs licked up his 
blood; and they washed his armour; according 
unto the word of the 3 Lord whichhe spake.

made, and all the cities that he built, are they 
not written in the book of the chronicles of the 
kings of Is'ra-el? 

40 So A'hab slept with his fathers; and 
A-ha-zi'ah his son reigned in his stead. 

41 If "And Je-hosh'a-phat the son of A'sa 
began to reign over Ju'dah in the fourth year 
of A'hab king of Is'ra-el. 

42 Je-hosh'a-phat was thirty and five years 
old when he began to reign ; and he reigned 
twenty and five years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And 
his mother's name was A-zu'bah the daughter 
of Shil'hi. 

43 And he walked in all the ways of A'sa 
his father; he turned not aside from it, doing 
that which was right in the eyes of the 3 Lord : 
nevertheless "the high places were not taken 
away; for the people offered and burnt incense 
yet in the high places. 

44 And Je-hosh'a-phat made peace with the 
king of Is'ra-el. 

45 Now the rest of the acts of Je-hosh'a- 
phat, and his might that he shewed, and how 
he warred, are they not written in the book of 
the chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah? 

46 And the remnant of the "sodomites, 
'^which remained in the days of his father 
A'sa, he took out of the land. 

47 There was then no king in E'dom: a 
deputy was king. 

48 Je-hosh'a-phat made ships of Thar'shish 
to go to O'phir for gold: but they went not; 
for the ships were broken at E'zi-on-ge'ber. 

49 Then said A-ha-zi'ah the son of A'hab 
unto Je-hosh'a-phat, Let my servants go with 
thy servants in the ships. But Je-hosh'a-phat 
would not. 

50 If And Je-hosh'a-phat slept with his fa- 
thers, and was buried with his fathers in the 
city of Da'vid his father: and Je-h5'ram his 
son reigned in his stead. 

51 1f A-ha-zi'ah the son of A'hab began to 
reign over Is'ra-el in Sa-ma'ri-a the seven- 
teenth year of Je-hosh'a-phat king of Ju'dah, 
and reigned two years over Is'ra-el. 

52 And he did evil in the sight of the "'Lord, 
and walked in the way of his father, and in 
the way of his mother, and in the way of 
Jer-o-bo'am the son of Ne'bat, who made Is'- 
ra-el to sin: 

53 For he 'served Ba'al, and worshipped 
him, and provoked to anger the 3 Lord God of 
Is'ra-el, according to all that his father had 
done. 



f. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be 
visited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord hath not sent me 
(Num. 16:29.) But the prophet which shall presume to speak a word in 
my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall 
speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. (Dt. 18:20.) 

g. But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out 
of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitations shall 
ye seek, and thither thou shalt come. (Dt. 12:5.) For they also built 
them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under 
every green tree. (I Ks. 14:23.) But the high places were not taken 
away, the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. (II 
Ks. 12:3.) 



h. But the men of Sodom were wicked and s'nners before the Lord 
exceedingly. (Gen. 13:13.) And he took away the sodomites out of the 
laud and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.' (I Ks. 15:12.) 
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like man- 
ner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange 
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal 
fire. (Jude 7.) 

i. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and 
served Baalim. (Jud. 2:11.) And it came to pass, as if it hart been a 
light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 
that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidon- 
ians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. (I Ks. 16:31.) 



THE SECOND BOOK OF THE 



KINGS 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 Moab rebelleth. 5 Elijah twice bringeth fire 
from heaven upon them whom Ahaziah sent 
to apprehend him. 13 He telleth the king of 
his death. 17 Jehoram succeedeth Ahaziah. 

1 Then Mo'ab 'rebelled a against Is'ra-el after 
the death of A'hab. 

2 And A-ha-zi'ah fell down through a lattice 
in his upper chamber that was in Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and was sick : and he sent messengers, and said 
unto them, Go, enquire of Ba'al-ze'bub the god 
of Ek'ron whether I shall recover of this dis- 
ease. 

3 But the angel 6 of the 2 Lord said to 3 E-li'jah 
the Tish'bite, Arise, go up to meet the mes- 
sengers of the king of Sa-ma'ri-a, and say unto 
them, Is it not because there is not a God in 
is'ra-el, that ye go to enquire of Ba'al-ze'bub 
the god of Ek'ron? 

4 Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou 
shalt not come down from that bed on which 
thou art gone up, but shalt c surely die. And 
"E-li'jah departed. 

5 II And when the messengers turned back 
unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now 
turned back? 

6 And they said unto him, There came a 
man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn 
again unto the king that sent you, and say 
unto him, Thus saith the = Lord, Is it not be- 
cause there is not a God in Is'ra-el, that thou 
sendest to enquire of Ba'al-ze'bub the d god of 
Ek'ron? therefore thou shalt not come down 
from that bed on which thou art gone up, but 
shalt surely die. 

7 And he said unto them, What manner of 
man was he which came up to meet you, and 
told you these words? 

8 And they answered him, He was an 4c hairy 
man, and girt with a girdle of leather about 
his loins. And he said, It is 3 E-li'jah the Tish'- 
bite. 

9 5 Then the king sent unto him a captain of 
fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: 
and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And 
he spake unto him, Thou man fof God, the 
king hath said, Come down. 

10 And 3 E-lfjah answered and said to the 
captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then -"let 
fire "come clown from heaven, and consume thee

1. During the time of David, the 
Moabites were brought under subjec- 
tion to Israel. (II Sam. 8:2) — '-And 
he smote Moab and measured them 
with a line, casting them down to 
the ground; even with two lines 
measured he to put to death and with 
one full line to keep alive; and so 
the Moabites became David's serv- 
ants and brought gifts." The history 
of this rebellion is resumed in ch. 3, 
and the narrative of it here, in con- 
nection with the implied sickness of 
Ahaziah, leads us to infer that the 
sickness of this monarch is what pre- 
vented au attempt to subdue the re- 
bellion.

4. That is. the man with the hairy

and thy fifty. And there came down fire from 
heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 

11 Again also he sent unto him another cap- 
tain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered 
and said unto him, man fof God, thus hath 
the king said, Come down quickly. 

12 And 3 E-li'jah answered and said unto 
them, If I be a man ^of God, let i'fire come 
down from heaven, and consume thee and thy 
fifty. And the fire ^of T God came down from 
heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 

13 II And he ''sent again a captain of the 
third fifty with his fifty. And the third cap- 
tain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his 
knees before 3 E-H'jah, and besought him, and 
said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let 
my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, 
be precious in thy sight. 

14 Behold, there came fire down from 
heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the 
former fifties with their fifties: therefore let 
my life now be precious in thy sight. 

15 And the angel of the 2 Lord said unto 
r E-li'jah, Go down with him: be not i afraid of 
him. And he arose, and went down with him 
unto the king. 

16 And he said unto him, Thus saith the 
2 Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers 
to enquire of Ba'al-ze'bub the god of Ek'ron, 
is it not because there is no God in Is'ra-el to 
enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not 
come down off that bed on which thou art gone 
up, but shalt surely die. 

17 H So he died according to the word of the 
2 Lord which E-H'jah had spoken. And Je-ho'- 
ram reigned in his stead in the second year of 
Je-h5'ram the son of Je-hosh'a-phat king of 
Ju'dah; because he had no son. 

18 Now the rest of the acts of A-ha-zi'ah 
which he did, are they not written in the book 
of the chronicles of the kings of is'ra-el? 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 Elijah with his mantle divideth Jordan, 9 
and is taken up by a fiery chariot into 
heaven. 12 Elisha is acknowledged his suc- 
cessor. 19 Elisha with salt healeth the un- 
wholesome waters. 23 Bears destroy the 
children that mocked Elisha. 
1 And it came to pass, when Hhe 2 Lord 

would °take up 3 E-H'jah into 5 heaven by a 

whirlwjnd, that E-M'jah went with 4 E-li'sha 

from Gil'gal.

a. And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them 
down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, 
and with one full line to keep alive; and so the Moabites became David's 
servants, and brought gifts. (II Sam. 8:2.) 

b. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear 
him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) The Lord God of heaven, which 
took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, 
and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, .saying, Unto thy 
seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou 
shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. (Gen. 24:7.) Therefore 
now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unlo 
thee; behold, mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day 
when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. (Ex. 32:34.) * 

c. As righteousness tendeth to life; so he that pursueth evil pur- 
sueth it to his own death. (Prov. 11:19.) 

d. Thou shalt have no other god before me (3). Thou shalt not 
irake unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is 
in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath," or that is in the water 
under the earth (4). Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor 
serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the 
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth 

i aeration of them that hate me. (Ex. 20:3-5.) Their sorrows shall be 
multiplied that hasten after another God; their drink offerings of blood 
will I not offer, nor take up their names unto my lips. (Ps. 16:4.) 

e. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophet shall be 
ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither 
shall they wear a rough garment to deceive. (Zech. 13:4.) And the 

John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about 
his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. (Mat. 3:4.) And 
John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about 
his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey. (Mk. 1:6.) 

f. Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of 
' ■ | '.nil' (into me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an 



I angel of God, very terrible; but I asked him not whence he was, neither 
told he me his name. (Judg. 13:6.) And there came a man of God 
unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear 
unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt, in Pharaoh's 
house? (I Sam. 2:27.) 

g. And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; and 
the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord 
burned among them, and consumed them tnat were in the uttermost 
parts of the camp. (Num. 11:1.) And when his disciples James and 
John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou tnat we command fire to come 
down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? (Luke 9:54.) 

h. Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat 
with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. (Prov. 
27:22.) Why should ye be stricken any more? Ye will revolt more and 
more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. (Is. 1:5.) 
O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? Thou hast stricken them, 
but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have 
refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than 
a rock; they have refused to return. (Jer. 5:3.) 

i. I, even I, am he that comforteth you; who art thou, that thou 
shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die. and of the son of man 
which shall be made as grass? (Is. 51:12.) Thou therefore gird up thy 
loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee; be not 
dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. (Jer. 1:17.) 
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their 
words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell 
among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their 
looks, though they be a rebellious house. (Ez. 2:6.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took 
him. (Gen. 5:24.) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not 
see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for be- 
fore his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Heb. 
11:5.)

2 And E-li'jah said unto E-li'sha, 6 Tarry 
here, I pray thee; for the 2 Lord hath sent me 
to Beth'-el. And E-li'sha said unto him, As the 
"Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not 
leave thee. So they went down to Beth'-el. 

3 And the sons of the prophets that were at 
Beth'-el came forth to 4 E-li'sha, and said unto 
him, Knowest thou that the "Lord will take 
away thy master from thy head to day? And 
he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 

4 And 3 E-H'jah said unto him, E-li'sha, tarry 
here, I pray thee ; for the 2 Lord hath sent me to 
Jer'i-cho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, 
and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So 
they came to Jer'i-cho. 

5 And the sons of the prophets that were at 
Jer'i-cho came to 4 E-li'sha, and said unto him, 
Knowest thou that the 2 Lord will take away 
thy master from thy head to day? And he 
answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 

6 And 3 E-H'jah said unto him, Tarry, I pray 
thee, here; for the "Lord hath sent me to Jor'- 
dan. And he said, As the 2 Lord liveth, and as 
thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they 
two went on. 

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets 
went, and stood to view afar off: and they two 
stood by Jor'dan. 

8 And S E-Ii'jah took his mantle, and wrapped 
it together, and smote the waters, and they 
e were divided hither and thither, so that they 
two went over on dry ground. 

9 TT And it came to pass, when they were 
gone over, that 3 E-li'jah said unto E-li'sha, 
Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken 
away from thee. And *E-li'sha said, I pray 
thee, let a ^double portion of thy spirit be 
upon me. 

10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard 
thing: nevertheless, if thou "see e me when I 
am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; 
but if not, it shall not be so. 

11 And it came to pass, as they still went 
on, and talked, thaf, behold, there appeared a 
7 chariot fof fire, and horses of fire, and parted 
them both asunder; and 3 E-li'jah went up by a 
Svhirlwind into heaven. 

12 f And ''E-H'sha saw it, and he cried, My 
father, my father, the chariot of Is'ra-el, and 
the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no 
more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and 
^rent them in two pieces. 

13 He took up also the "mantle of 3 E-li'jah 



Ch. 2. B. C. 896. 

NOTE. — In this ch. is recorded one 
of the most impressive incidents of 
Old Testament history. It occurred 
near the place where Moses died and 
was buried. (Dt. 34:5.) Keil says. 
Elijah ascending in the fiery tempest 
is a symbol of the judicial righteous- 
ness of God, because as minister and 
preacher of the law. he preached to 
the apostate generation, the fire of 
the anger of divine righteousness. 
Christ ascended silently and a cloud 
received him out of their sight. He 
ascended as the Son, to whom all 
power is given. Since Moses and 
Elijah met with Jesus on the Mount 
of Transfiguration (Mat. 17:1-3), it 
is interesting to compare their man- 
ner of leaving the world. Though 
Moses was the law-giver, he died on 
account of his sin at Radish. (Dt. 
32:50, 51.) Moses passed from life 
unto death by the way of the law, 
which worketh death as the wages 
of sin. But Elijah, as forerunner of 
Christ, prepares his way by turning 
the hearts of the fathers to the chil- 
dren (Mai. 4:5, 6; Mat. 11:14), and 
ascends to heaven without tasting 
death, thus pointing to Christ who de- 
stroys the power of sin and of death 
and abolishes the curse of the law 
from everyoue who believeth. 

1. From this verse it seems there 
was a set time when Jehovah was to 
take Elijah from the world. 

2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

3. See note 1, ch. 17, I Ks. 

4. See note 12, ch. 19, I Ks. 

5. To the heavenly abode of God 
aud his angels. (Keil.) 

6. A sign which was to appear 
unto Elisha. 

7. Creations of the spiritual world. 
A part of that great host, heard by 
David above the mulberry tree. (II 
Sain. 5:24) — "And let it be when 
thou nearest the sound of a going in 
the tops of the mulberry trees, that 
then thou shalt bestir thyself, for 
then shall the Lord go out before thee 
to smite the host of the Philistines." 

8. At the moment when the char- 
iot of fire separated them a tempest 
broke upon Elijah and carried him 
into heaven. It is not said whether 
he was in the chariot of fire or not. 

9. The same mantle which Elijah 
had cast upon Elisha (I Ks. 19:16- 
19). 

10. Thus the first miracle of Eli- 
sha is identical in nature with the 
last of Elijah, (V. 8.) 

11. Vs. 23-25. the mocking chil- 
dren cursed. "The offense of the 
mocking children, involving as it did 
a blasphemous insult upon one of the 
Lord's most signal acts, made a near 
approach to what in the New Testa- 



that fell from him, and went back and stood 
by the bank of Jor'dan; 

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah 
that fell from him, and smote the waters, and 
said, '"Where is the Lord God of ! E-li'jah? and 
when he also had smitten ''the waters, they 
parted hither and thither: and E-li'sha went 
over. 

15 And when the sons of the prophets which 
were to view at Jer'i-cho saw him, they said, 
The spirit of "E-li'jah doth rest on 4 E-li'sha. 
And they came to meet him, and bowed them- 
selves to the ground before him. 

16 11 And they said unto him, Behold now, 
there be with thy servants fifty strong men; 
let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy mas- 
ter: lest peradventure the Spirit 'of the 2 Lord 
hath taken him up, and cast him upon some 
mountain, or into some valley. And he said, 
Ye shall not send. 

17 And when they urged him till he was 
ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore 
fifty men; and they sought three days, but 
found him not. 

18 And when they came again to him, (for 
he tarried at Jer'i-cho,) he said unto them, 
Did I not say unto you, Go not? 

19 If And the men of the city said unto "E-li'- 
sha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this 
city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the 
water is naught, and the ground barren. 

20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and 
put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 

21 And he went forth unto the spring of the 
waters, and J 'cast the salt in there, and said, 
Thus saith the 2 Lord, I have healed these 
waters; there shall not be from thence any 
more death or barren land. 

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, 
according to the saying of E-li'sha which he 
spake. 

23 1f "And he went up from thence unto 
Beth'-el: and as he was going up by the way, 
there came forth 12 little children out of the 
city, and ,f mocked him, and said unto him, Go 
up, thou bald "head; go up, thou bald head. 

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, 
and cursed them 14 in the name of the 2 Lord. 
And there came forth two she bears out of the 
wood, and tare forty and two "children of 
them. 

25 And he went from thence to mount Car'- 
mel, and from thence he returned to Sa-ma'ri-a.

Holy Ghost." (Kitto.) 

12. The Greek word here used for 
youth, is without reference to exact 



age, but when preceded by little, 
means a young man who has not 
reached maturity. 

13. A term of abuse and contempt 



In the east, meaning a social outcast. 

14. As the prophet was mocked 

to insult the name of the Lord, they 

were cursed in the name of the Lord. 



Such an insult Jehovah could not al-

ple of Bethel. 

15. The ringleaders. 



b. And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law has gone back unto her 
people, and unto her gods; return thou after thy sister-in-law (15). And 
Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following 
after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I 
will lodge; thy people shall be my people and thy God my God. (Ruth 
1:15, 16.) 

c. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and 
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. (Ex. 14:21.) And 
as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the 
priest that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water (for 
Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest) (15), That the 
waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap 
very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan; and those that 
came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and 
were cut off; and the people passed over right against Jericho. (Josh. 
3:15, 16.) 

d : And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and 
took "of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy 
elders; and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, 
they prophesied, and did not cease. (Num. 11:25.) 

e. And, while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, 
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel. (Acts 1:10.) 

f. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, 
that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and 
he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of 
fire round about Elisha. (II Ks. 6:17.) The chariots of God are twen- 
ty thousand, even thousands of angels; the Lord is among them, as in 
Sinai, in the holy place. (Ps. 68:17.) Who maketh his angels spirits; 
his ministers a flaming fire. (Ps. 104:4.) Are they not all ministering 
spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? 
(Heb. 1:14.) 



g. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and 
mourned for his son many days. (Gen. 37:34.) And Joshua rent his 
clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord 
until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put. dust upon their 
heads. (Josh. 7:6.) 

h. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works 
that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; 
because I go unto my father. (Jno. 14:12.) 

i. And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that 
the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and so 
when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; 
but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth. (I Ks. 18:12.) And he 
put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; 
and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and 
brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the 
inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the 
image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. (Ez. 8:3.) And when 
they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught 
away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his 
way rejoicing. (Acts 8:39.) 

j. And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, 
which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet; 
there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved 
them. (Ex. 15:25.) When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, 
and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man 
with the clay. (Jno. 9:6.) 

k. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his 
people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) The eye that mocketh 
at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley 
shall pick it out, and the young eagle shall eat it. (Prov. 30:17.J

II KINGS 



B. C. 896-895 



CHAPTER 3. 
1 Jehoram's reign. 6 Jehoram, with Jehosha- 
phat, and the king of Edom, by Elisha ob- 
taineth ivater, and promise of victory. 21 
The Moabites, coming to spoil, are overcome. 
26 The king of Moab raiseth the siege. 

1 Now Je-ho'ram the son of A 'Mb began to 
reign over Is'ra-el in Sa-ma'ri-a the eighteenth 
year of Je-hosh'a-phat king of Ju'dah, and 
reigned twelve years. 

2 And he wrought evil in the sight of the 
'-Lord; but not like his father, and like his 
mother: for he put away the a image of Ba'al 
that his father had made. 

3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of 
Jer-o-bo'am the son of Ne'bat, which made Is'- 
ra-el to sin; he departed not therefrom. 

4 r -And "Me'sha king of Mo'ab was a sheep- 
master, and tendered unto the king of Is'ra-el 
an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred 
thousand rams, with the wool. _ 

5 But it came to pass, when A'hab was dead, 
that the king of Mo'ab rebelled against the 
king of Is'ra-el. 

6 *" And king Je-ho'ram went out of Sa-ma'- 
ri-a the same time, and numbered all Is'ra-el. 

7 And he went and sent to Je-hosh'a-phat 
the king of Ju'dah, saying, The king of M5'ab 
hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with 
me against Mo'ab to battle? And he said, I 
will go up : I am as thou art, my people as thy 
people, and my horses as thy horses. 

8 And he said, "Which way shall we go up? 
And he ans_wered, The way through the wil- 
derness of E'dom. 

9 So the king of Is'ra-el went, and the king 
of Ju'dah, and the king of E'dom: and they 
fetched 4 a compass of seven days' journey: 
and there was no water for the host, and for 
the cattle that followed them. 

10 And the king of Is'ra-el said, Alas! c that 
the 1 Lord hath called these three kings to- 
gether to deliver them into the hand of Mo'ab! 

11 But Je-hosh'a-phat said, Is there not 
here a prophet of the "Lord, that we may en- 
quire a of the 1 Lord by him? And one of the 
king of Is'ra-el's servants answered and said, 
Here is '"E-li'sha the son of Sha'phat, which 
poured water on the hands of E-li'jah. 

12 And Je-hosh'a-phat said. The word of the 
a Lord is with him. So the king of Is'ra-el and 
Je-hosh'a-phat and the king of E'dom went 
down to hirn. 

13 And E-li'sha said unto the king of Is'- 
ra-el, What have I to do with thee? get thee 
to f the prophets of thy father, and to the 
prophets of thy mother. And the king of Is'- 
ra-el said unto him, Nay: for the a Lord hath 
called these three kings together, to deliver 
them into the hand of Mo'ab.

14 And E-li'sha said, As the Lord of hosts 
liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it 
not that I regard the presence of Je-hosh'a- 
phat the king of Ju'dah, I would not look 
toward thee, nor see thee. 

15 But now bring me a ''minstrel. And it 
came to pass, when the minstrel played, that 
the hand ^of the : Lord came upon him. 

16 And he said, Thus saith the 'Lord, Make 
this valley full of ditches. 

17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see 
wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley 
i'shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, 
both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 

18 And this is but a ''light thing in the sight 
of the Lord: he will 'deliver the Mo'ab-ites also 
into your hand. 

19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and 
every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, 
and stop all wells of water, and mar every good 
piece of land with stones. 

20 And it came to pass in the morning, 
when the meat Offering was offered, that, be- 
hold, there came water s by the way of E'dom, 
and the country was filled with water. 

21 r And when all the Mo'ab-ites heard that 
the kings were come up to fight against them, 
they gathered all that were able to put on 
armour, and upward, and stood in the border. 

22 And they rose up early in the morning, 
and the sun shone upon the water, and the 
Mo'ab-ites saw the water on the other side as 
red as blood: 

23 And they said, This is blood: the kings 
are surely slain, and they have smitten one 
another: now therefore, M5'ab, to the spoil. 

24 And when they came to the camp of Is'- 
ra-el, the Is'ra-el-ites rose up and smote the 
Mo'ab-ites, so that they fled before them: but 
they went forward smiting the Mo'ab-ites, even 
in their country. 

25 And they beat down the cities, and on 
every good piece of land cast every man his 
stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the 
wells of water, and felled all the good trees: 
only in Kir-har'a-seth left they the stones 
thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, 
and smote it. 

26 *~ And when the king of Mo'ab saw that 
the battle was too sore for him, he took with 
him seven hundred men that drew swords, to 
break through even unto the king of E'dom: 
but the3* could not. 

27 Then he took his 'eldest son that should 
have reigned in his stead, and offered -'him for 
a burnt offering upon the wail. And there was 
great indignation against Is'ra-el : and they 
departed from him, and returned to their own 
land. 



Chapter 3. 

a.' Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make 
unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in 
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 
under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve 
them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of 
the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of 
them that hate me. (Ex. 20:3-5.) Neither be ye idolaters, as were some 
of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and 
rose up to play. (I Cor. 10:7.) Cursed be the man that maketh any 
molten or graven image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the 
hand of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the 
people shall answer, and say, Amen. (Dt. 27:15.) 

b. Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilder- 
ness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. For it shall be, that as 
a wandering bird, cast out of a nest, so the daughters of Moab shall 
be at the fords of Arnon. (Is. 16:1, 2.) And he smote Moab, and meas- 
ured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two 
lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive; 
and so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. (I 
Sam. 8:2.) 

c. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned 
and inquired early after God. (Ps. 7S:34.) The foolishness of man per- 
verteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the Lord. (Prov. 19:3.) 

d. See a, ch. 23, I Sam. 

e. Now therefore send, and gather me all Israel unto Mount Car- 
mel. and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets 
of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. (I Ks. 18:19.) 



f. The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the 
son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the 
hand of the Lord was there upon him. (Ezek. 1:3.) And it came to 
pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, 
as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the 
hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. (Ezek. 8:1.) 

g. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground 
into water-springs. (Ps. 107:35.) I will open rivers in high places, 
and fountains in the midst of the valleys: 1 will make the wilderness a 
pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. (Is. 41:18.) 

h. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: Is there any thing 
too hard for me? (Jer. 32:27.) And Jesus, looking upon them, saith, 
With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things 
are possible. (Mk. 10:27.) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding 
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that 
worketh in us. (Eph. 3:20.) 

i. And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, 
and said, Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said the Lord 
is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will 1 
deliver all this great multitude into thine hand; and ye shall know that 
I am the Lord. (I Ks. 20:28.) 

j. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomina- 
tion to the Lord which he hateth have they done unto their gods; for 
even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their 
gods. (Dt. 12:31.) And they have built the high places of Tophet, 
which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and 
their daughters in the fire: which I commanded them not. neither came 
it into my heart. (Jer. 7:31.) Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and

1 Elisha multiplieth the widow's oil. 8 He 
givetk a son to the good Shunammite. 18 He 
raiseth again her dead son. 42 He satisfieth 
an hundred men with twenty loaves. 

1 'Now there cried a certain : woman of the 
wives of the sons of the prophets unto E-li'sha, 
saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and 
thou knowest that thy servant did fear the 
Lord: and the creditor is come a to take unto 
him my two sons to be bondmen. 

2 And E-li'sha said unto her, What shall I 
do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the 
house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath 
not any thing in the house, save h a pot of oil. 

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels 
abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty ves- 
sels; borrow not a few. 

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt 
shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, 
and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and 
thou shalt set aside that which is full. 

5 So she went from him, and shut the door 
upon her and upon her sons, who brought the 
vessels to her: and she poured out. 

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were 
full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet 
a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not 
a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 

7 Then she came and told the man of God. 
And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, 
and live thou and thy children of the rest. 

8 H 3 And it fell on a day, that E-li'sha 
passed to Shu'nem, where was a great woman; 
and she constrained him to eat bread. And 
so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he 
turned in thither to eat bread. 

9 And she said unto her husband, Behold 
now, I perceive that this is an holy man of 
God, which passeth by us continually. 

10 Let us make c a little chamber, I pray 
thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there 
a bed, and a table, ,and a stool, and a candle- 
stick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, 
that he shall turn in thither. 

11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, 
and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 

12 And he said to Ge-ha'zi" his servant, Call 
this Shu'nam-mite. And when he had called 
her, she stood before him. 

13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, 
Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all 
this care; what is to be done for thee? would- 
est thou be spoken for to the king, or to the 
captain of the host? And she answered, I 
dwell among mine own people. 

14 And he said, What then is to be done for 
her? And Ge-ha'zi answered, Verily she hath 
no child, and her husband is old. 

15 And he said. Call her. And when he had 
called her, she stood in the door. 

16 And he said, d About this season, accord- 
ing to the time of life; thou shalt embrace a

a detailed account of Elijah's mir- 
acles, affording us alike an insight 
into the life of Elisha and acquaint- 
ing us with the school of the proph- 
ets. It is to be observed that there 
is a striking difference between the 
miracles of Elisha and Elijah; those 
of Elijah were of stern rebuke and 
denunciation, while those of Elisha 
were gracious, soothing and benefi- 
cent. By illustration we might say 
the miracles of Elisha were like the 
still small voice following in the 
wake of the whirlwind and earth- 
quake of Elijah's ministry.

God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. 

17 And the woman conceived, and bare a 
son at that season that E-li'sha had said unto 
her, according to the time of life. 

18 11 And when the child was grown, it fell 
on a day, that he went out to his father to the 
reapers. 

19 And he said unto his father, My head, my 
head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his 
mother. 

20 And when he had taken him, and brought 
him to his mother, he sat on her knees till 
noon, and then died. 

21 And she went up, and laid him on the 
bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon 
him, and went out. 

22 And she called unto her husband, and 
said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young 
men, and one of the asses, that I may run to 
the man of God, and come again. 

23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to 
him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sab- 
bath. And she said, It shall be well. 

24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her 
servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy 
riding for me, except I bid thee. 

25 So she went and came unto the man of 
God to mount Car'mel. And it came to pass, 
when the man of God saw her afar off, that he 
said to Ge-ha'zi" his servant, Behold, yonder is 
that Shu'nam-mite: 

26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and 
say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well 
with thy husband? is it well with the child? 
And she answered, It is well. 

27 And when she came to the man of God 
to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but 
Ge-ha'zi" came near to thrust her away. And 
the man of God said, Let her alone; for her 
soul is vexed within her: and the 4 Lord hath 
hid it from me, and hath not told me. 

28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my 
lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me? 

29 Then he said to Ge-ha'zi, Gird up thy 
loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go 
thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him 
not; and if any salute thee, answer him not 
again: and lay c my staff upon the face of the 
child. 

80 And the mother of the child said, As the 
"Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not 
leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. 

31 And Ge-ha'zi" passed on before them, and 
laid the staff upon the face of the child; but 
there was neither voice, nor hearing. Where- 
fore he went again to meet him, and told him, 
saying, The child is not awaked. 

32 And when E-H'sha was come into the 
house, behold, the child was dead, and laid 
upon his bed. 

33 He went in therefore, and shut the door 
upon them twain, and Sprayed unto the 4 Lord. 



thy daughters, whom thou hast born unto me, and these hast thou 
sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small

a. And if thy brother that dweileth by thee be waxen poor, and 
be sold unto thee: thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant; 
But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and 
shall serve thee until the year of jubile. And then shall he depart 
from thee, both he and his children with thee, and shall return unto 
his own family, and unto the possession of his father shall he return. 
(Lev. 25:39-41.) And every one that was in distress, and every one that 
was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves 
unto him; and he became a captain over them; and there were with 
him about four hundred men. (I Sam. 22:2.) For there were that said, 
We, our sons, our daughters, are many; therefore we take up corn for 
them, that we may ea-t, and live. Some also there were that said, We 
have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy 
corn, because of the dearth. There were also that said, We have bor- 
rowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vine- 
yards. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children 
as their children; and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our 
daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into 
bondage already; neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other 
men have our lands and vineyards. (Neh. 5:2-5.) 



b. As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of 
meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse; and, behold, I am gathering 
two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we 
may eat it and die. (I Ks. 17:12.) 

c. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall re- 
ceive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the 
name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. (Mat 
10:41.) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say 
unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these 
my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Mat. 25:40.) Distributing to 
the necessity of saints, given to hospitality. (Rom. 12:13.) Let brother- 
ly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby 
some have entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 13:1, 2.) 

d. I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; 
and, lo, Sarah thy .wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the 
tenth door, which was behind him (10). Is any thing too hard for the 
Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the 
time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. (Gen. 18:10, 14.) 

e. And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that 
from his body were brought unto the sick, handkerchiefs or aprons, and 
the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits .went out of them.

and put his mouth upon his "mouth, and his

35 Then he returned, and walked in the

himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven 
times, and the child opened his eyes. 

36 And he called Ge-ha'zi, and said, Call

when she was come in unto him, he said, Take

and bowed herself to the ground, and took up 
her son, and went out.

39 And one went out into the field to gather 
herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered 
thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and 
"shred them into the pot of pottage: for they 
''knew them not. 

40 So they poured out for the men to eat. 
And it came to pass, as they were eating of

1. It is interesting to observe, 
that of the many miracles performed 
by Elijah, affecting the person of 
man, this is the only incident of the 
person's being a heathen — the others 
were all Israelites. Xaaman. though 
a heathen, met all the conditions of 
the word of Jehovah, hence was heal- 
ed, thus typifying the salvation which 
is for aU who meet the conditions.

the land of _ Is'ra-el a little Tnaid; and she 
waited on Xa a-mans wife. 

3 And she said unto her mistress, Would 
God my lord were with the prophet that is in 
Sa-ma'ri-a! for he would recover him of his 
leprosy. 

4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, 
Thus and thus said the maid that is of the 
land of Is'ra-el. 

5 And the king of Syr i-a said, Go to, go, 
and I will send a letter unto the king of Is'- 
ra-el. And he departed, and took with him 
ten 'talents of silver, and six thousand 'pieces 
of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 

6 And he brought the letter to the king of 
Is'ra-el, saying, Now when this letter is come 
unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Xa'a- 
man my servant to thee, that thou mayest re- 
cover ,J him of his leprosy. 

7 And it came to pass, when the king of 
Is'ra-el had read the letter, that he rent his 
clothes, and said, Am I 6 God, to kill and to 
make alive, that this man doth send unto me 
to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore 
consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh 
a quarrel against me. 

8 TAnd it was so, when 7 E-li'sha the man of 
God had heard that the king of Is'ra-el had 
rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, say- 
ing, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let 

'him come now to me, and he shall know that 
there is a prophet in Is'ra-el. 

9 So Xa'a-man came with his horses and 
with his chariot, and stood at the door of the 
house of : E-li"sha. 

10 And T E-li'sha sent a messenger unto him, 
saying, Go and f wash in Jor'dan seven s times, 
and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and 
thou shalt be clean. 

11 But Xa'a-man was ^wroth, and went 
away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will 
surely come out to me, and stand, and call on 
the name of the s Lord his God, and strike his 
hand over the place, and recover the leper. 

12 Are not Ab'a-na and Phar'par, rivers of 
Da-mas'cus, better than all the waters of Is'- 
ra-el? may I not wash in them, and be clean? 
So he turned and e went away in a rage. 

13 And his servants came near, and spake 
unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet 
had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest 
thou not have done it? how much rather then, 
when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 

14 Then went he down, and dipped himself 
-seven times in Jor'dan, according to the say- 
ing of the man of God: and his flesh ''came 
again like unto the flesh of a little child, and 
"die was clean. 

15 r And he returned to the man of God, he 
and all his company, and came, and stood be- 
fore him: and he said, Behold, now -"I know 
that there is 7, no God in all the earth, but in 



g. And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried 
onto the Lord, and said. O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's 
soul come into him again. (I Ks. 17:21.) 

h. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes o£ 
thorns, or figs of thistles? (Mat. 7:16.) 

i. And he cried unto the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, 
which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: 
there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved 
them. (Ex. 15:25.) And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, 
and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed 
these waters: there shall not be from thence anv more death or barren 
iand. (II Ks. 2:21.) 

j. But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said. We 
have no more but five loaves and two fishes: except we should go and 
buy meat for all this people. (Luke 9:13.) There is a lad here, which 
hath five barley loaves and two small fishes; but what are they among 
so many? (Jno. 6:9.) 

k. And they did all cat. and were filled: and they took up of the 
fragments that remained twelve baskets full. (Mat. 14:20.) And they 
did all eat and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that 
was left seven baskets full. (Mat. 15:3,.) 

Chap 

a. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the 
prophet: and none of them was cleansed, saving .Xaaman the Svrian. 
(Luke 1.27.) 

b. And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said. Am 
I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? 



(Gen. 30:2.) See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no God with 
me: I kill, and I make alive: I wound, and I heal: neither is there any 
that can deliver out of my hand. (Dt. 32:39.) 

c. When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made 
clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the 
clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by 
interpretation, Sent). He went his way therefore and washed and came 
seeing. (Jno. 9:6, 7.) See ch. 4, v. 41. 

d. But the natural man reeeiveth not the things of the Spirit of 
God, for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, be- 
cause they are spiritually discerned. (I Cor. 2:14.) 

e. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the 
bosom of fools. (Ecc. 7:9.) He that is slow to anger is better than 
the mighty: and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. 
(Prov. 16:32.) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift 
to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. (Ja. 1:19.) 

f. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; he shall return to the 
days of his youth. (Job 33:25.) 

g. For with the heart man behevetl unto righteousness: and with 
the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Rom. 10:10.) 

h. The king answered unto Daniel, and said. Of a truth it is, that 
your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of 
secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. (Dan. 2:47.) Therefore 
I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak 
any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach. Meshach, and Abednego, 
shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; be- 
cause there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. (Dan. 3:29.)

is'ra-el: now therefore, I pray thee, take a 
; blessing of thy servant. 

16 But he said, As the 3 Lord liveth, before 
whom I stand, -'I will receive none. And he 
urged him to take it; but he refused. 

17 And "Na'a-man said, Shall there not then, 
I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' 
burden '"of earth? for thy servant will hence- 
forth offer neither ''burnt "offering nor sacrifice 
unto other 'gods, but unto the 3 Lord. 

18 In this thing the 3 Lord pardon thy serv- 
ant, that when my master goeth into the house 
of Rim'mon to worship there, and he leaneth 
on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of 
Rim'mon: when I bow down myself in the 
house of Rim'mon, the Lord pardon thy servant 
in this thing. 

19 And he said unto him. Go in peace. So 
he departed from him a little way. 

20 r "But Ge-ha'zi, the servant of E-li'sha 
the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath 
spared Na'a-man this Syr'i-an, in not receiving 
at his hands that which he brought : but, as the 
Lord liveth, I will run '"after him, and take 
somewhat of him. 

21 So Ge-ha'zi followed after Na'a-man. 
And when Na'a-man saw him running after 
him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet, 
him, and said, Is all well? 

22 And he said, All is well. My master hath 
sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be 
come to me from mount E'phra'im two young 
men of the sons of the prophets : give them, I 
pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes 
of garments. 

23 And Na'a-man said, Be content, take two 
'"talents. And he urged him, and bound two 
talents of silver in two bags, with two changes 
of garments, and laid them upon two of his 
servants; and they bare them before him. 

24 And when he came to the tower, he took 
them from their hand, and bestowed them in 
the house: and he 'let the men go, and they 
departed. 

25 But he went in, and stood before his 
master. And_ E-li'sha said unto him, Whence 
comest thou, Ge-ha'zi? And he said, Thy serv- 
ant went "no whither. 

26 And he °said unto him, Went not mine 
heart with thee, when the man turned again 
from his chariot to meet thee? Is "it a time to 
receive money, and to receive garments, and 
oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, 
and menservants, and maidservants? 

27 The leprosy therefore of Na'a-man Pshali 
cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. 
And he went out from his presence «a leper 
as white as snow. 



9. A ' sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah,

grief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or

Ch. 6. B. C, 893-892. 

NOTE. — In this ch. is the miracle 
of the lost axe made to swim. The 
striking contrast existing between the 
cure of Naaman and the lost axe 
should be observed, inasmuch as the 
cure of X. shows the power of God 
to relieve the distress of one of the 
gnat and honorable ones of the 
world; but. lest some one might think 
that Jehovah displays his power and 
mercy only on great occasions and in 
behalf of the great alone, the record 
of the lost axe is immediately added, 
teaching God's sympathy for the poor 
and humble in their petty trials. 
Here a poor, unknown prophet of Jer- 
icho has a miracle wrought in his be- 
half in a sphere so insignificant as 
to fail to attract the attention 0* 
man; although with God there are no 
great and no small. The loss of the 
axe. which this poor man had bor- 
rowed, was to him a great calamity, 
because he was too poor to buy an- 
other to replace it. Therefore the 
miracle in the behalf of X.. the rich 
and the great, followed immediately 
by the miracle of the poor, unknown 
man, shows that all things, whether 
great or small, receive the attention 
of the Great All-Father and that the 
interests and welfare of the great 
and poor alike are objects of his mer- 
cy and consideration. 

1. The members of one of the 
prophetical schools. 

2. The place where we are is too 
small for our accommodation.

that the man could reach forth and

4. Vs. S-23 treat of another class 
of the wonders of the ministry of

pears as a prophet rather than a 
worker of miracles.

sel of the prophet and not foolishly 
exposing himself. 

6. See 12, eh. 19, I Ks. 

7. A beautiful eminence about 12 
miles north of Samaria, where Joseph 
went in search of his brethren. (Gen. 
37:17) — "And the man said. They are 
departed hence; for I heard them say. 
Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph 
went after his brethren, and found 
them in Dothan." 



CHAPTER 6. 
1 Elisha causeth iron to swim. 8 He discloseth 
the king of Syria's counsel. 13 The army 
sent to apprehend Elisha is smitten with 
blindness. 24 The famine hi Samaria caus- 
eth women to eat their own children. 30 
The king sendeth to slay Elisha. 

1 And the sons 'of the prophets said unto 
E-li'sha, Behold now, the place where we dwell 
with thee is too ^strait for us. 

2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jor'dan, and 
take thence every man a beam, and let us make 
us a place there, where we may dwell. And 
he answered, Go ye. 

3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, 
and go with thy servants. And he answered, 
I will go. 

4 So he went with them. And when they 
came to Jor'dan, they cut down wood. 

5 But as one was felling a beam, the ax 
head fell into the water: and he cried, and 
said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 

6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? 
And he shewed him the place. And a he cut 
down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the 
3 iron did swim. 

7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. 
And he put out his hand, and took it. 

8 U "'Then the king of Syr'i-a warred against 
Is'ra-el, and took counsel with his servants, 
saying, In such and such a place shall be my 
camp. 

9 And the man of God sent unto the king of 
Is'ra-el, saying, 6 Beware that thou pass not 
such a place; for thither the Syr'i-an§ are 
come down. 

10 And the king of Is'ra-el sent to the place 
which the man of God told him and warned 
him of, and saved himself there, not once 5 nor 
twice. 

11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syr'i-a 
was sore troubled for this thing; and he called 
his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not 
shew me which of us is for the king of Is'- 
ra-el? 

12 And one of his servants said, None, my 
lord, O king: but 6 E-li'sha, the prophet that is 
in is'ra-el, telleth the king of Is'ra-el the 
words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 

13 % And he said, Go and spy where he is, 
that I may send and fetch him. And it was 
told him, saying, Behold, he is in 7 Do'than. 

14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and 
chariots, and a great host: and they came by 
night, and compassed the city about. 

15 And when the servant of the man of God 
was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an 
host compassed the city both with horses and 
chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, 
my master! how shall we do? 



i. Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee, because 
God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And 
he urged him, and he took it. (Gen. 33:11.) 

j. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up my hand 
unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, 
That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I 
will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have 
made Abram rich. (Gen. 14:22. 23.) Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, 
raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give. 
(Mat. 10:8.) 

k. For the purpose and the law of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

1. Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images 
out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of 
thine hands. (Mic. 5:13.) Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did 
service unto them which by nature are no gods. (Gal. 4:8.) As con- 
cerning therefore the eating of those, things that are offered in sacrifice 
unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that 
there is none other God but one. (I Cor. 8:4.) And the building of the 
wall of it was of jasper; and the city was pure gold like uhto clear 
glass. (Rev. 21:18.) 

m. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the 
covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. (Ps. 10:3.) He that is greedy of 
gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. (Frov. 
15:27.) Take heed, and beware of covetousness; for man's life con- 
sisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth. (Luke 
12:15.) For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some 
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) 



n. See v. 22. 

o. Then Saul (who also is called Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, 
set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all suhtility and all mischief, 
thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not 
cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? (Acts 13:9, 10.) 

p. For the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some 
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) 

q. Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into 
his bosom; and when he took it out, behold his hand was leprous as 
snow. (Ex. 4:6.) And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, 
behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow. (Num. 12:10.) And the 
Lord smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, 
and dw-elt in a several house. (II Ks. 15:5.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And he went forth unto the spring of the w-aters, and cast the 
salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; 
there shall not be from thence any more death and barren land. (II 
Ks. 2:21.) Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, 
Pour out for the people, that they mav eat. And there was no harm 
in the pot. (II Ks. 4:41.) And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord 
showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters 
were made sweet; there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, 
and there he proved them. (Ex. 15:25.) 

b. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will 
show them his covenant. (Ps. 25:14.) For the froward is abomination 
to the Lord; but his secret is with the righteous. (Prov. 3:32.) Surely 
the Lord God will do nothing, but he reveaieth his secret unto his ser- 
vants the prophets. (Amos 3:7.)

16 And he answered, Fear not: for 'they 
that be with us are more than they that be 
with them. 

17 And 'E-li'sha d prayed, and said, 'Lord, I 
pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And 
the 'Lord opened "the eyes of the young man; 
and he saw : and, behold, the mountain was full 
of f horses and chariots of fire round about 
E-li'sha. 

18 And when they came down to him, "E-li'- 
sha prayed unto the 'Lord, and said, Smite this 
people, I pray thee, with blindness. And the 
smote them with blindness according to the 
word of E-li'sha. 

19 U And 6 E-li'sha said unto them, This is 
not the way, neither is this the city: follow 
me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye 
seek. But he led them to Sa-ma'ri-a. 

20 And it came to pass, when they were 
come into Sa-ma'ri-a, that E-li'sha said, 'Lord, 
open the eyes of these men, that they may see. 
And the s Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; 
and, behold, they were in the midst of Sa-ma'- 
ri-a. 

. 21 And the king of Is'ra-el said unto "E-li'- 
sha, when he saw them, My father, shall I 
smite them? shall I smite them? 

22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite 
them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou 
hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy 
bow? ^set bread and water before them, that 
they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 

23 And he prepared great provision for 
them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he 
sent them away, and they went to their master. 
So the bands of Syr'i-a came B no more into the 
land of Is'ra-el. 

24 ^And it came to pass after this, that 
Ben-ha'dad king of Syrl-a gathered all his 
host, and went up, and besieged Sa-ma'ri-a. 

25 And there was a great famine in Sa-ma'- 
ri-a: and, behold, they besieged it, until an 
ass's "head was sold for fourscore pieces of 
silver, and the fourth part of a cab of 12 dove's 
dung for five pieces of silver. 

26 And as the king of Is'ra-el was passing 
by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto 
him, saying, Help, my lord, king. 

27 And he said, If the 'Lord do not help 
thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the 
barnfloor, or out of the winepress? 

28 And the king said unto her, What aileth 
thee? And she answered, This woman said 
unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him 
to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. 

29 So we ls boiled ''my son, and did eat him:

30 * And it came to pass, when the king 
heard the words of the woman, that he rent 
his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, 
and the people looked, and, behold, he had sack- 
cloth within upon his flesh. 

31 Then he said, God do so and more also to 
me, if the head of ; E-li'sha ! 'the son of Sha'- 
phat shall stand on him this day. 

32 But "E-li'sha f sat in his house, and the 
elders sat with him; and the king sent a man 
from before him: but ere the messenger came 
to him, he said to the elders, See how this son 
of a murderer hath sent to take away mine 
head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut 
the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not 
the sound of his master's feet behind him? 

33 And while he yet talked with them, be- 
hold, the messenger came down unto him: and 
he said, Behold, this evil is of the 5 Lord; what 
• should I wait for the 'Lord any longer? 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Elisha prophesieth incredible plenty in Sa- 
maria. 3 Four lepers, venturing on the host 
of the Syrians, bring tidings of their flight. 
12 The king spoileth the tents of the Syrians. 
17 The lord who v;ould not believe the 
prophecy of plenty, having the charge of the 
gate, is trodden to death hi the press. 

1 Then E-li'sha said, "'Hear ye the word of 
the 'Lord; Thus saith the 2 Lord, To morrow 
about this time shall a measure of fine flour be 
sold for a shekel, and 'two measures of barley 
for a shekel, in the gate of Sa-ma'ri-a. 

2 Then a lord on whose hand the king 
leaned answered the man of God, and said, 
Behold, *°if the "Lord would make windows in 
heaven, might this thing be? And he said. 
Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but 
shalt mot eat thereof. 

3 *~ And there were four leprous men at the 
entering in of the gate: and they said one to 
another, Why sit we here until we die? 

4 If we say, We will enter into the city, 
then the famine is in the city, and we shall die 
there: and if we sit still here, we die also. 
Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the 
host of the Syr'i-ans : if they save us alive, we 
shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die. 

5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go 
unto the camp of the Syr'i-ans: and when they 
were come to the uttermost part of the camp 
of Syr'i-a, behold, there was no man there. 

6 For the 2 Lord had made the host of the 
Syr'i-ans s to hear a noise of chariots, and a 



c. Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the 
king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there 
be more with us than with him. (II Chr. 32:7.) The Lord is my light 
and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my 
life; of whom shall I be afraid? (1) Though an host should encamp 
against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise against me, 
in this will I be confident. (Ps. 27:1, 3.) What shall we then say to 
these things? If God be for us, who can be against, us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

d. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him in truth. (Ps. 
145:18.) Let us lift up our heart with our bands unto God in the 
heavens. (Lam. 3:41.) Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and you 
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto j r ou; for every one that 
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh 
it shall be opened. (Mat. 7:7, 8.) And he spake a parable unto them to 
this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. (Luke 18:1.) 
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is 
near. (Is. 55 

e. And it came to pass as they still went on, and talked, that, be- 
hold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them 
both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (II Ks. 
2:11.) The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear 
him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) The chariots of God are twenty 
thousand, even thousands of angels; the Lord is among them, as in 
Sinai, in the holy place. (Ps. 68:17.) Are they not all ministering 
spirits, sent forth to minister for them that shall be heirs of salvation? 
(Heb. 1:11.) 

f. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with 
blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to 
find the door. 'Gen. 19:11.) And now, behold, the hand of the Lord 
is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. 
And immediately there fell on him a mist and a. darkness; and he 
went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. (Acts 13:11.) 

g. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be 



thirsty, give him water to drink. (Prov. 25:21.) Therefore if thine 
enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing 
thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (Rom. 12:20.) 

h. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your 
daughters shall ye eat. (Lev. 26:29.) And thou shalt eat the fruit of 
thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the 
Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, where- 
with thine enemy shall distress thee. (Dt. 28:53.) 

i. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear; what can man do unto 
me? It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. 
(Ps. 118:6, 9.) 

j. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what 
profit should we have if we pray unto him? (Job 21:15.) Ye have said. 
It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his 
ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of 
hosts? (Mai. 3:14.) And men were scorched with great heat, and 
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: 
and they repented not to give him glory. (Rev. 16:9.) Therefore shall they 
eat of the fruit of their own way, and he filled with their own devices. 
(Prov. 1:31.) But I will punish you according to the fruit of your do- 
ings, saith the Lord; and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and 
it shall devour all things round about it. (Jer. 21:14.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, 
the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains 
of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened 
(Gen. 7:11.) The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven 
were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained. (Gen. 8:2.) 
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in 
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I 
will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, 
that there shail not be room enough to receive it. (Mai. 3:10.)

noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: 
and they said one to another, Lo, the king of 
is'ra-el hath hired against us the kings of the 
Hit'tites, and the kings of the E-gyp'tian§, to 
come upon us. 

7 Wherefore they arose and c fled in the twi- 
light, and left their tents, and their horses, 
and their asses, even the camp as it was, and 
fled for their life. 

8 And when these lepei'S came to the utter- 
most part of the camp, they went into one tent, 
and did eat and drink, and carried thence sil- 
ver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid 
it; and came again, and entered into another 
tent, and carried thence also, and went and 
hid it. 

9 Then they said one to another, We do not 
well : this day is a day of good tidings, and we 
hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning 
light, some mischief will come upon us: now 
therefore come, that we may go and tell the 
king's household. 

10 So they came and called unto the porter 
of the city: and they told them, saying, We 
came to the camp of the Syr'i-an§, and, behold, 
there was no man there, neither voice of man, 
but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents 
as they were. 

11 And he called the porters; and they told 
it to the king's house within. 

12 \ And the king arose in the night, and 
said unto his servants, I will now shew you 
what the Syr'i-an§ have done to us. They 
know that we be hungry; therefore are they 
gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the 
field, saying, When they come out of- the city, 
we shall catch them alive, and get into the 
city. 

13 And one of his servants answered and 
said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the 
horses that remain, which are left in the city, 
(behold, they are as all the multitude of is'- 
ra-el that are left in it: behold, 6 I say, they 
are even as all the' multitude of the Is'ra-el- 
ites that are consumed:) and let us send and 
see. 

14 They took therefore two chariot horses; 
and the king sent after the host of the Syri- 
ans, saying, Go and see. 

15 And they went after them unto Jor'dan : 
and, lo, all the way was full of garments and 
vessels, which the Syr'I-an§ had cast away in 
their haste. And the messengers returned, and 
told the king. 

16 And the people went out, and spoiled the 
tents of the Syr'i-an§. So a measure of 3 fine 
flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures 
of barley for a shekel, ^according to the word 
of the 2 Lord. 

17 If And the king appointed the lord on 
whose hand he leaned to have the charge of 
the gate : and the people 7 trode upon him in the 
gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, 
who spake when the king came down to him.

18 And it came to pass as the man of God 
had spoken to the king, saying. Two measures 
of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine 
flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about 
this time in the gate of Sa-ma'ri-a: 

19 And that lord answered the man of God, 
and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should 
make windows in heaven, might such a thing 
be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it 
with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 

20 c And so it fell out unto him: for the 
people trode upon him in the gate, and he 
died. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 The Shunammite hath her land restored by 
the king. 7 Hazael, being sent with a pres- 
ent by Ben-hadad to Elisha at Damascus, 
killeth his master, and succeedeth him. 16 
Jehoram's wicked reign in Judah. 23 Aha- 
ziah succeedeth Jehoram. 25 Ahaziah's 
toicked reign. 28 He visiteth Joram wound- 
ed, at Jezreel. 

1 Then spake E-H'sha unto the 'woman, 
whose son he had restored to life, saying, 
Arise, and go thou and thine household, and 
sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for 
the 2 Lord "hath called for a famine; and it 
shall also come upon the land 3 seven years. 

2 And the woman arose, and did after the 
saying of the man of God: and she went with 
her household, and sojourned in the land of 
the Phi-lis'tines seven years. 

3 And it came to pass at the seven years' 
end, that the woman returned out of the land 
of the Phi-lis'tine§: and she went forth to cry 
unto the king for her house and for her land. 

4 And the king talked with Ge-ha'zi the 
servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I 
pray thee, all the great things that E-li'sha 
hath done. 

5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the 
king how he had Restored a dead body to life, 
that, behold, the 'woman, whose son he had re- 
stored to life, cried to the king for her house 
and for her land. And Ge-ha'zi said, My lord, 
O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, 
whom E-li'sha restored to life. 

6 And when the king asked the woman, she 
told him. So the king appointed unto her a 
certain officer, saying, Restore all that was 
her's, and all the fruits of the field since the 
day that she left the land, even until now. 

7 11 "And E-lT'sha came to Da-mas'cus; and 
Ben-ha'dad the king of Syr'i-a was sick; and 
it was told him, saying, The man of God is 
come hither. 

8 And the king said unto Haz'a-el, Take c a 
present in thine hand, and go, meet the man 
of God, and r 'enquire of the 2 Lord by him, say- 
ing, Shall I ''recover of this disease? 

9 So Haz'a-el went to meet him, and took a 
present with him, even of every good thing- of 
Da-mas'cus, forty camels' burden, and came 
and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben- 



their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken 
leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; 
and they shall fall when none pursueth. (Lev. 26:36.) And let it be, 
when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry 
trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then shall the Lord go out 
before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. (II Sam. 5:24.) A 
dreadful sound was in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer shall come 
upon him. (Job 15:21.) 

c. There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God 
hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; thou hast 
put them to shame, because God hath despised them. (Ps. 53:5.) The 
wicked, flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a 
lion. (Prov. 28:1.) 

d. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent; hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he 
spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) Faithful is he 
that calleth you, who also will do it. (I Thes. 5:24.) Let us hold fast 
the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that 
promised. (Heb. 10:23.) 

e. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed 
me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye 
shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 
(Num. 20:12.) When he is about- to fill his belly, God shall cast the 



fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is 
eating. (Job 20:23.) And to whom sware he that they should not enter 
into his rest, but to them that believe not? (Heb. 3:18.) 
Chapter 8. 

a. So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall 
seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee 
three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that 
there be three days pestilence in thy land? Now advise and see what 
answer I shall return to him that sent me. (II Sam. 24:13.) Moreover 
he called for a famine upon the land; he brake the whole staff of 
bread. (Ps. 105:16.) And I called for a drought upon the land, and 
upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and 
upon the oil, and upon' that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon 
men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands. (Hag. 1:11.) 

b. Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went 
up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times., 
and the child opened his eyes. (II Ks. 4:35.) 

c. Behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread 
is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man 
of God: what have we? (I Sam. 9:7.) And take with thee ten loaves and 
cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him; and he shall tell thee 
what shall become of the child. (I Ks. 14:3.)

ha'dad king of Syr'i-a hath sent me to thee, 
saying, Shall I recover of this disease? 

10 And E-li'sha said unto him, Go, say unto 
him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit 
the "Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely 
die. 

11 And he settled his countenance sted- 
fastly, until Tie was ashamed: and the man 
e of God wept. 

12 And Haz'a-el said, Why weepeth my 
lord? And he answered, Because I know the 
s evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Is - 
ra-el : their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, 
and their young men wilt thou slay with the 
sword, and wilt Mash their children, and rip up 
their women with child. 

13 And Haz'a-el said, But what, is thy serv- 
ant a dog, that he should do this great thing? 
And E-li'sha answered, The "Lord hath shewed 
me that thou shalt be king over Syr'i-a. 

14 So he departed from E-li'sha, and came 
to his master; who said to him, What said 
E-H'sha to thee? And he answered, He told 
me that thou shouldest 'surely recover. 

15 And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, 
and spread it on his face, so that he died: and 
Haz'a-el reigned in his stead. 

16 r : And in the fifth year of Jo 'ram the son 
of A'hab king of Is'ra-el, Je-h5sh'a-phat being 
then king of Ju'dah, Je-ho'ram the son of Je- 
hosh'a-phat king of Ju'dah began to reign. 

17 Thirty and two years old was he when 
he began to reign; and he reigned eight years 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18 And he walked in the way of the kings 
of is'ra-el, as_did the house of A'hab: for the 
daughter of A'hab was his wife: and he did 
evil in the sight of the "Lord. 

19 Yet the 2 Lord would not destroy Ju'dah 
for Da'vid his servant's sake, ?as he promised 
him to give him always a light, and to his 
children. 

20 r In his days E'dom revolted from under 
the hand of Ju'dah, and made a king over 
themselves. 

21 So Jo'ram went over to Za'ir, and all the 
chariots with him: and he rose by night, and 
smote the E'dom-ites which compassed him 
about, and the captains of the chariots : and 
the people _fled into their tents. 

22 Yet E'dom revolted from under the hand 
of Ju'dah unto this day. Then Lib'nah re- 
volted at the same time. 

23 And the rest of the acts of J5'ram, and 
all that he did, are they not written in the 
book of the chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah? 

24 And Jo'ram slept with his fathers, and 
was buried with his fathers in the city of

26 Two and twenty years old was A-ha-zi'ah 
when he began to reign; and he reigned one 
year in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name 
was Ath-a-li ah, the daughter of Om'ri king of 
Is'ra-el. 

27 And h he walked in the way of the house 
A'hab, and did evil in tl 

as did the house of A'hab: for he was the son 
in law of the house of A'hab. 

28 r And he went with J5'ram the son of 
A'hab to the war against Haz'a-el king of 
Syr'i-a in Ra'moth-gil'e-ad; and the Syr'i-ans 
wounded J5'ram. 

29 And king Jo'ram went back to be healed 
in Jez're-el of the wounds which the Syr'i-ans 
had given him at Ra'mah, when he fought 
against Haz'a-el king of Syr'i-a. And A-ha- 
zi'ah the son of Je-h5'ram king of Ju'dah went 
down to see Jo'ram the son of A'hab in Jez'- 
re-el, because he was sick. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 Elisha sendeth a young prophet to anoint 
Jehu at Ramoth-gilead. 11 Jehu killeth Jo- 
ram in the field of Xaboth. 27 Ahaziah is 
slain at Gar, and buried at Jerusalem. 30 
Proud Jezebel is thrown down out of a win- 
dow, and eaten by dogs. 

1 And E-li'sha the prophet called one of the 
children of the prophets, and said unto him, 
Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in 
thine hand, and go to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad: 

2 And when thou comest thither, look out 
there Jehu the son of Je-hosh'a-phat the son of 
Nim'shi, and go in, and make him arise up from 
among Ins brethren, and carry him to an 
Timer chamber; 

3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on 
his head, and say, Thus saith the "Lord, I have 
anointed thee king over Is'ra-el. Then open 
the door, and flee, and tarry not. 

4 "~ So the young man, even the young man 
the prophet, went to Ra'moth-gil-e'ad. 

5 And when he came, behold, the captains 
of the host were sitting; and he said, I have 
an errand to thee, O captain. And JeTiu said, 
Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, 

captain. 

6 And he arose, and went into the house; 
and he poured the oil on his head, and said 
unto him, Thus saith the 3 Lord God of is'ra-el, 

1 have anointed thee king over the people of 
the 3 Lord, even over is'ra-el. 

7 And thou shalt smite the house of A'hab 
thy master, that I a may avenge the blood of my 
servants the prophets, and the blood of all the 
servants of the J_ord, 5 at the hand of Jez'e- 

Ibel. 

8 For the whole houseof A'hab shall perish: 
and C I will cut off from A'hab him that pisseth 
against the wall, and him ^that is shut up and 
left in Is'ra-el : 

9 And I will make the house of A'hab like 
i the house of c Jer-o-bo'am the son of Ne'bat, 



e. And when he was come near, he beheld the citv, and wept over 
it. (Luke 19:41.1 

f. Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her 
God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in 
pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. (Hos. 13:15.) 
Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of the children of Am- 
nion, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because 
they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might en- 
large their border. (Amos 1:13.) 

g. He shall build an house for my name; and I will stablish the 
throne of his kingdom for ever. (II Sam. 7:13.) Nevertheless for Da- 
vid's sake did the Lord his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set 
up his son after him. and to establish Jerusalem. (I Ks. 15:4.) How- 
beit the Lord would not destroy the house of David, because of the 
covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a 
light to him and to his sons for ever. (II Chr. 21:7.) 

h. He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother 
was his counsellor to do wickedly. Wherefore he did evil in the sight 
of the Lord like the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors, after 
the death of his father, to his destruction. (II Chr. 22:3, 4.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. (Ps. 
11G:15. ) For we know him that hath said. Vengeance belongeth unto 



me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge 
his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

b. Ana it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Xaboth was stoned. 
and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the 
vineyard of Xaboth, the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for 
money; for Xaboth is not alive, but dead. (I Ks. 21:15.) 
• c. Therefore, behold. I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam 
and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and 
him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant 
of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung till it all be 
gone. (I Ks. 14:10.) 

d. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut 
■up or left. (Dt. 32:36.) For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it 
■was verv bitter: for there was not any shut up. nor any left, nor any 
helper for Israel. (II Ks. 14:26.) 

e. And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the 
house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he 
had destroyed him. according unto the saying of the Lord, which he 
spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite. (I Ks. 15:29.) And will 
make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Xebat, and like 
the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith 
thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin. (I Ks. 21:22.)

15 But king Jo'ram was returned to be 
healed in Jez're-el of the wounds which the 
Syr'i-an§ had given him, when he fought with 
Haz'a-el king of Syr'i-a.) And 7 Je'hu said, If 
it be your minds, then let none go forth nor 
escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jez'- 
re-el. 

16 So 7 JeTiu rode in a chariot, and went to 
Jez're-el; for Jo'ram lay there. And A-ha- 
zi'ah king of Ju'dah was come down to see 
Jo'ram. 

17 And there stood a watchman on the 
tower in Jez're-el, and he spied the company of 
Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. 
And Jo'ram said, Take an horseman, and send 
to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace? 

18 So there went one on horseback to meet 
him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? 
And Me'hu said, What hast thou to do with 
peace? turn thee behind me. And the watch- 
man told, saying, The messenger came to them, 
but he cometh not again. 

19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, 
which came to them, and said, Thus saith the 
king, Is it peace? And 7 Je'hu answered, What 
hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind 
me. 

20 And the watchman told, saying, He came 
even unto them, and cometh not again: and 
the driving is like the driving of Je'hu the son 
of Nim'shi; for he driveth furiously. 

21 And Jo'ram said, Make ready. And his 
chariot was made ready. And "Jo'ram king 
of Is'ra-el and A-ha-zi'ah king of Ju'dah went 
out, each in his chariot, and they went out 
against Je'hu, and met him in the s portion of 
Na'bSth the Jez're-el-ite. 

22 And it came to pass, when JS'ram saw 
Je'hu, that he said, Is it peace, Je'hu? And he 
answered, What peace, ''so long as the whore- 
doms of °thy mother Jez'e-bel and her witch- 
crafts are so many? 

23 And Jo'ram turned his hands, and fled, 
and said to A-ha-zi'ah, There is treachery, O 
A-ha-zi'ah.

eager readiness they threw off their 
allegiance to Jehorum.

7. A commander in the Israelite 
army, who was at this time stationed 
at Kamoth-Gilead. A council of war 
being held by the commander, the 
prophet appeared at the door of the 
tent and called forth Jehu, declaring 
that he had a message to deliver to 
him. As soon as they were alone, the 
man drew forth a horn of oil and 
poured it upon Jehu's head, saying, 
•'Thus saith the Lord God of Is- 
rael, I have anointed thee king over 
the people of the Lord, even over 
Israel, and thou shalt smite the house 
of Ahab, thy master, that I may 
avenge the blood of my servants the 
prophets, and the blood of all the 
servants of the Lord at the hand of 
Jezebel." (II Ks. 9:6, 7.) Jehu dis- 
played great enthusiasm in exter- 
minating the high places, but, like 
the others, he fell short of his full 
duty and consequently brought dis- 
aster upon his house in the fourth 
generation. 



S. In that fatal spot where, it 
had been declared, the dogs should 
lick his blood. (.1 Ks. 21:19) — "And 
thou shalt speak unto him saying, 
Thus saith the Lord, in the place 
where dogs lick the blood of Naboth, 
shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine." 



9. Infidelity in both spiritual and 
carnal matters, she was the imper- 
sonation of the grossest forms of 
wickedness.

11. A powder prepared from anti- 
mony, or from lead ore and zinc, 
which was mixed with water and put 
around the eyes. 



12. In Jehu the eunuchs recognized 
their future sovereign, hence instant- 
ly obeyed his command.

mangled on the walk. 



14. Eastern travelers assert that 
in many places they found dogs 
kept ferocious and known as devour- 
ing dogs for the purpose of eating hu- 
man beings, and such was their fe- 
rocity that there was nothing left 
save the skull, bottom of the feet and 
palm of the hand.

time quite common. 



24 And Je'hu drew a bow with his full 
strength, and smote Je-ho'ram between his 
arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and 
he sunk down in his chariot. 

25 Then said Je'hu to Bid'kar his captain, 
Take up, and cast him in the portion of the 
field of Na'both the Jez're-el-ite : for remember 
how that, when I and thou rode together after 
A'hab his father, the 3 Lord 'laid this burden 
upon him; 

26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of 
Na'both, and the blood of his sons, saith the 
"Lord; and I will requite •'thee in this plat, 
saith the 3 Lord. Now therefore take and cast 
him into the plat of ground, according to the 
word of the 3 Lord. _ 

27 If But when A-ha-zi'ah the king of Ju'- 
dah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden 
house. And Je'hu followed after him, and said, 
Smite him also in the chariot. And they did' 
so at the going up to Gur, which is by tb'le- 
am. And he fled to Me-gid'do, and died there. 

28 And his servants carried him in a chariot 
to Je-ru'sa-lem, and buried him in his sepul- 
chre with his fathers m the city of Da'vid. 

29 And in the eleventh year of Jo'ram the 
son of A'hab began A-ha-zi'ah to reign over 
Ju'dah. 

30 If "And when Je'hu was come to Jez're-el, 
Jez'e-bel heard of it; and she "painted her 
face, and tired her head, and looked out at a 
window. 

31 And as 'Je'hu entered in at the gate, she 
said, ''Had Zim'ri peace, who slew his master? 

32 And he lifted up his face to the window, 
and said, Who is on my side? who? And there 
looked out to him two or three eunuchs. 

33 And he said, Throw her down. So they 
12 threw her down: and some of her blood was 
sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and 
he K: trode her under foot. 

34 And when he was come in, he did eat and 
drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, 
and bury her: for she is a king's daughter. 

35 And they went to bury her: but they 
found no more of her than the skull, "and the 
feet, and the palms of her hands. 

36 Wherefore they came again, and told 
him. And he said, This is the word of the 
2 Lord, which he spake by his servant E-li'jah 
the Tish'bite, saying, In the portion of Jez'- 
re-el shall dogs eat the flesh of Jez'e-bel : 

37 And the carcase of 'Jez'e-bel shall be as 
dung upon the face of the field in the portion 
of Jez're-el; so that they shall not say, This 
is Jez'e-bel. 

CHAPTER 10. 

1 Jehu causeth seventy of Ahab's children to 
be beheaded. 12 At the shearing house he 
slayeth two and forty of Ahaziah's brethren. 
18 By subtilty he destroyeth all the worship- 
pers of Baal. 29 Jehu folloiveth Jeroboam's 
sins. 32 Hazael oppresseth Israel. 35 Je- 
hoahaz succeedeth Jehu. 
1 And A'hab had 'seventy sons in Sa-ma'- 

ri-a. And Je'hu wrote betters, and sent to Sa- 



f. The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, 
that ye should be officers in the house of the Lord, for every man that 
is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in 
prison, and in the stocks. (Jer. 29:26.) He hath a devil, and is mad; 
why hear ye him? (Jno. 10:20.) And as he thus spake for himself, 
Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much 
learning doth make thee mad. (Acts 26:24.) 

g. And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, by coming to Jo- 
'am: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu 
the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house 
3f Ahab. (II Chr. 22:7.) 

h. And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord 
above all that were before him. And it came to pass as if it had been 
a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 
that he took to wife Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the 
Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. And he 
reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built 
in Samaria. (I Ks. 16:30-32.) Now therefore send and gather to me all 
Israel unto Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and 
fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jeze- 



bel's table. (I Ks. 18:19.) But hast walked in the way of the kings 
of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go 
a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast 
slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thy- 
self. (II Chr. 21:13.) 

i. Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? Because he 
humbleth himself before me I will not bring evil in his days; but in 
his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. (I Ks. 21:29.) 

j. And thou shalt speak unto him, saying. Thus saith the Lord, 
Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? and thou shalt speak unto 
him saying. Thus saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the 
blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. (I Ks. 21:19.) 

k. And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired 
against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house 
of Arza, steward of his house in Tirzah (9). And the people that were 
encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired and hath also slain the king; 
wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel 
that day in the camp. (I Ks. 16:9, 16.)

marl-a, unto the rulers of Jez're-el, to the 
elders, and to them that brought up A'hab's 
children, saying, 

2 Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, 
seeing your master's sons are with you, and 
there are with you chariots and horses, a 
fenced city also, and armour; 

3 Look even out the best and meetest of 
your master's sons, and set him on his father's 
throne, and fight for your master's house. 

4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, 
Behold, ^wo kings stood not before him: how 
then shall we stand? 

5 And he that was over the house, and he 
that was over the city, the elders also, and the 
bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, say- 
ing, We a are thy servants, and will do all that 
thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: 
do thou that w r hich is good in thine eyes. 

6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to 
them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will 
hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of 
the men your master's sons, and come to me to 
Jez're-el by to morrow this time. Now the 
king's sons, being seventy persons, were with 
the great men of the city, which brought them 
up. 

7 And it came to pass, when the letter came 
to them, that they took the king's sons, and 
l slew seventy persons, and put their heads in 
baskets, and sent him them to Jez're-el. 

8 r And there came a messenger, and told 
him, saying, They have brought the heads of 
the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in 
-two heaps at the entering in of the gate until 
the morning. 

9 And it came to pass in the morning, that 
he went oat, and stood, and said to all the 
people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired 
against my master, and slew him: but who 
slew all these? 

10 Know now that there shall fall c unto the 
earth nothing of the word of the 5 Lord, which 
the "Lord spake concerning the house of A'hab: 
for the 5 Lord hath done that which he spake 
by his servant E-irjah. 

11 So Je'hu. slew all that remained of the 
house of A'hab in Jez're-el, and all his great 
men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until 
he left him none remaining. 

12 *~ "And he arose and departed, and came 
to Sa-ma'ri-a. And as he was at the shearing 
house in the way. 

13 Je'hu met ''with the brethren of A-ha- 
zi'ah king of Ju'dah, and said, Who are ye? 
And they answered, We are the brethren of 
A-ha-zi'ah; and we go down to salute the chil- 
dren of the king and the children of the queen. 

14 And he said. Take them alive. And they 
took them alive, and slew them at the pit of 
the shearing house, even two and forty men; 
neither left he any of them.

S. An expression of Jehu's further 
determination to continue his work of 
destruction, which was commanded 
by Jehovah in v. 30 — "And the Lord 
said unto Jehu, Because thou hast 
done well in executing that which is 
right in mine eyes, and hast done 
unto the house of Ahab according to 
all that was in my heart, thy chil- 
dren of the fourth generation shall 
sit on the throne of Israel."

Baal worshipers. Thus Jehu com- 
pletes the work which Elijah began 
at the brook Kishou. il Ks. 1S:40)— 
'•And Elijah said unto them. Take 
the prophets of Baal, let not one of 
them escape. And they took them 
and E. brought them down to the 
brook Kishon and slew them there." 



10. A subtle. deceptive plan. 
While his efforts in destroying idol- 
atry were approved by Jehovah, his 
subtility was not. 



11. Trickery. 



12. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster.

15 r And when he was departed thence, he 
lighted on Je-hon'a-dab the son of Re chab 
coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and 
said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart 
is with thy heart? And Je-n6n'a-dab answered, 
It is. If it be, f give me thine hand. And he 
gave him his hand; and he took him up to 
him into the chariot. 

16 And he said, Come with me, and see my 
s zeal ''for the 'Lord. So they made him ride in 
his chariot. 

17 And when he came to_ Sa-ma'ri-a, he 
^slew all that remained unto A'hab in Sa-ma'- 
ri-a, till he had destroyed them, according to 
the saying of the "Lord, which he spake to 
E-li'jah.

gether, and said unto them, A'hab served ''Ba'al 
a little; but Je'hu shall serve him much. 

19 Now therefore call unto me all the proph- 
ets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; 
let none be wanting: for I have a great sacri- 
fice to do to Ba'al; wiiosoever shall be wanting, 
he shall not live. But "Je'hu did it in "subtilty, 
to the intent that he might destroy the wor- 
shippers of Ba'al. 

20 And Je'hu said, Proclaim a solemn assem- 
bly for ''Ba'al. And they proclaimed it. 

21 And Je'hu sent through all Is'ra-el: and 
all the worshi]Dpers of Ba'al came, so that there 
was not a man left that came not. And they 
came into the house of ''Ba'al; and the house 
of Ba'al was full from one end to another. 

22 And he said unto him that was over the 
vestry, Bring foi-th vestments for all the wor- 
shippers of ''Ba'al. And he brought them forth 
vestments. 

23 And Je'hu went, and Je-hon'a-dab the son 
of Re'chab, into the house of ''Ba'al, and said 
unto the worshippers of Ba'al, Search, and look 
that there be here with you none of the serv- 
ants of the 5 Lord, but the worshippers of Ba'al 
only. 

24 And when they went in to offer sacri- 
fices and burnt "offerings, Je'hu appointed 
fourscore men without, and said, If any of the 
men whom I have brought into your hands 
escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall 
be for the life of him. 

25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had 
made an end of offering the burnt "offering, 
that Je'hu said to the guard and to the cap- 
tains, Go in, and slay them; let none come 
forth. And they smote them with the edge of 
the sword; and the guard and the captains 
cast them out, and went to the city of the 
house of ''Ba'al. 

26 And they brought forth the images out 
of the house of ''Ba'al, and burned them. 

27 And they brake down the image of ''Ba'al. 
and brake down the house of ft Ba'al, and made 
it a "draught house unto this day.

the face of the earth; and they shall be consumed by the sword and 
by famine; and their carcasses shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, 
and for the beasts of the earth. (Jer. 16:4.) 
Chapter 10. 

a. And now, benold, we are in thine hand; as it seemeth good and 
right unto thee to do unto us, do. (Josh. 9:25.) And the king of Israel 
answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, 
and all that I have. (I Ks. 20:4.) 

b. Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy 
prosperity, and 'will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, 
and him that is shut up and left in Israel. (I Ks. 21:21.) 

c. And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none 
of his words fall to the ground. (I Sam. 3:19.) The counsel of the 
Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. (Ps. 
33:11.) The Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? 
And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? (Is. 14:27.) 
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : but the word of our God shall 
stand for ever. (Is. 40:8.) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my 
word shall not pass away. (Mat. 24:35.) For all flesh is as grass, and 
all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth and the 
flower thereof falleth away. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. 
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (I Pet. 
1:24, 25.) 

d. And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment 
upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons 



of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them. 
(II Chr. 22:8.) 

e. And they gave their hands that they would put away their 
wives; and, being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their tres- 
pass. (Ezra 10:19.) 

f. I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the chil- 
dren of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, 
and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I. even I only, am left: 
and they seek my life to take it away. (I Ks. 19:10.) 

g. And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may 
avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the 
servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel. For the whole house of 
Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against 
the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel. (II Ks. 9:7, 8.)

28 Thus Je'hu destroyed Baal out of Is'ra-el. 

29 II "Howbeit '"from the sins of Jer-o-bo'am 
the son of Ne'bat, who made is'ra-el to sin, 
Je'hu departed not from after them, to wit, 
'the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and 
that were in Dan. 

30 And the 5 Lord said unto Je'hu, Because 
thou hast done well in executing that which is 
right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the 
house of A'hab according to all that was in 
mine heart, thy children of the fourth "genera- 
tion shall sit on the throne of is'ra-el. 

31 But Je'hu took no heed to walk in the 
law of the "Lord God of is'ra-el with all his 
heart: for he departed not from the sins of 
Jer-o-bo'am, which made is'ra-el to sin. 

32 If In those days the 5 Lord began to 1T cut 
is'ra-el short: and Haz'a-el ^ smote them in all 
the coasts of is'ra-el; 

33 From Jor'dan eastward, all the land of 
Gil'e-ad, the Gad'ites, and the Reu'ben-ites, and 
the Ma-nas'sites, from Ar'o-er which is by the 
river Ar'non, even Gil'e-ad and Ba'shan. 

34 Now the rest of the acts of Je'hu, and all 
that he did, and all his might, are they not 
written in the book of the chronicles of the 
kings of is'ra-el? 

35 And Je'hu slept with his fathers: and 
they buried him in Sa-ma'ri-a. And ls Je-h5'- 
a-haz his son reigned in his stead. 

36 And the time that Je'hu reigned over Is'- 
ra-el in Sa-ma'ri-a was twenty and eight years. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 Jehoash, being saved from Athaliah's mas- 
sacre, is hid six years in the house of God. 
4 Jehoiada, giving order to the captains, in 
the seventh year, anointeth him king. 13 
Athaliah is slain. 17 Jehoiada restoreth the 
ivorship of God. 

1 And when 'Ath-a-li'ah the mother of A-ha- 
zi'ah saw that her 2 son was dead, she arose 
and destroyed all the "seed royal. 

2 But Je-hosh'e'-ba, the daughter of king 
Jo'ram, sister of A-ha-zi'ah, took Jo'ash the 
son of A-ha-zi'ah, and stole him from among 
the king's sons which were slain; and they hid 
him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber 
from Ath-a-li'ah, so that he was not slain. 

3 And he was with her hid in the house of 
the 5 Lord six years. And Ath-a-li'ah did reign 
over the land. 

4 II "And the seventh T year Je-hoi'a-da sent 
and fetched the rulers over "hundreds, with 
the captains and the guard, and brought them 
to him into the house of the G Lord, and made 
a covenant with them, and took an oath of 
them in the house of the D Lord, and shewed 
them the king's son. 

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is 
the thing that ye shall do; A third part of 
you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be 
keepers of the watch of the king's house;

that it be not broken down.

15. It should be observed that 
while John figures as an instrument of 
God. to punish the wicked house of 
Ahab, the inspired writer does not 
attempt to conceal Jehu's short-coru- 
ings and sins. 



16. That is. Jehu's son. Jehoa- 
haz. reigned .17 years; Jehoash, 16 
years; Jeroboam (the 2nd), 41 years; 
Zachariah, six months. Thus was 
the word of Jehovah fulfilled. 



17. Also was fulfilled the prophecy 
of Hosea. (Hos. 1:4)— "And the Lord 
said unto him. call his name Jezreel, 
for yet a little while and I will 
avenge the blood of Jezreel' upon the 
house of Jehu and will cause t<i cease 
the kingdom of the house of Israel." 



IS. Son of Jehu, king of Israel; 
he reigned 17 years. (II Ks. 10:35.) 
He followed the evil courses of the 
house of Jeroboam, which brought 
great adversity. At length over- 
whelmed by his calamities, he ac- 
knowledged the authority of Jeho- 
vah and a deliverer was raised up

7 And two parts of all you that go forth on 
the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of 
the house of the ; 'Lord about the king. 

8 And ye shall compass the king round 
about, every man with his weapons in his hand : 
and he that cometh within the ranges, let him 
be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth 
out and as he cometh in. 

9 And the captains over "the hundreds did 
according to all things that Je-hoi'a-da the 
priest commanded: and they took every man 
his men that were to come in on the sabbath, 
with them that should go out on the sabbath, 
and came to Je-hoi'a-da the priest. 

10 And to the captains over' hundreds did 
the priest give king ''Da'vid's spears and shields, 
that were in the temple of the 'Lord. 

11 And the guard stood, every man with his 
weapons in his hand, round about the -king, 
from the right corner of the temple to the 
left corner of the temple, along by the altar 
and the temple. 

12 And he brought forth the "king's son, 
and put the crown upon him, and gave him 
the "^testimony; and they made him king, and 
anointed him; and they clapped their hands, 
and said, God save the king. 

13 11 And when Ath-a-li'ah heard the noise 
of the guard and of the people, she came to the 
people into the temple of the r 'Lord. 

14 And when she looked, behold, the king 
stood by c a pillar, as the manner was, and the 
princes and the trumpeters by the king, and 
all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew 
with trumpets: and Ath-a-li'ah rent her clothes, 
and cried, Treason, Treason. 

15 But Je-hoi'a-da the priest commanded the 
captains of the hundreds, the officers of the 
host, and said unto them, Have her forth with- 
out the ranges: and him that followeth her kill 
with the sword. For the priest had said, Let 
her not be slain in the house of the 5 Lord. 

16 And they laid hands on her; and she 
went by the I2 way by the which the horses 
came into the king's house: and there was she 
slain. 

17 1f And Je-hoi'a-da made a "covenant be- 
tween the r, Lord and the king and the people, 
that they should be the Lord's people; between 
the king "also and the people. 

18 And all the people of the land went into 
the house of Ba'al, and fZ brake it down ; his 
altars and his images brake they in pieces 
thoroughly, and slew Mat'tan the priest of 
Ba'al before the altars. And the priest ap- 
pointed officers over the house of the 5 Lord. 

19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, 
and the captains, and the guard, and all the 
people of the land; and they brought down the 
king from the house of the Lord, and came by 
the way of the gate of the guard to the king's 
house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 

20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, 
and the city was in quiet: and they slew Ath- 
a-li'ah with the sword beside the king's house.

the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. (Dt. 27:15.) 
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou' worship any 
strange god. (Ps. 81:9.) Confounded be all they that serve graven im- 
ages, that boast themselves of idols; worship him, all ye gods. (Ps. 97:7.) 

i. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, 
and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; be- 
hold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of 
Egypt. And he sat the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. 
(I Ks. 12:28, 29.) 

j. Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the 
evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel; their strong holds wilt 
thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with a sword, and 
wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child. (II Ks 
8:12.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that 
Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that 
were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the 



sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses. (II Chr. 
23:8.) 

b. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul ; the testi- 
mony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes are 
right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, en- 
lightening the eyes. (Ps. 19:7," 8.) Bind up the testimony, seal the law 
among my disciples. (Is. 8:16.) 

c. The king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, 
to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testi- 
monies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to per- 
form the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all 
the people stood to the covenant. (II Ks. 23:3.) And the king stood in 
his place, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, 
and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, 
with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the 
covenant which are written in this book. (II Chr. 34:31.) 

d. And hj shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and 
burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images 
of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. (Dt. 
12:3.)

by a present of the Iiallotved treasures. 19 
Jehoash being slain, Amaziah succeedeth 
him. 

1 ] In the seventh year of Je'hu Je-ho'ash 
"began to reign; and forty years reigned he in 
Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name was 
Zib i-ah of Be'er-she'ba. 

2 And Je-ho'ash did that which was right 
in the sight of the 2 Lord all his days 3 wherein 
Je-hoi'a-da the priest instructed him. ' 

3 But the h high 4 places were not taken away : 
the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in 
the high places. 

4 II And r 'Je-ho'ash said to the priests, All 
the money of the Medicated things that is 
brought into the house of the Lord, even the 
money of every one that passeth the 'account, 
the money that every man is s set at, and all 
the money that cometh into any man's "heart to 
bring into the house of the 2 Lord, 

-5 Let the priests take it to them, every man 
of his acquaintance: and let them repair the 
breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach 
shall be found. 

6 But it was so, that in the three and twen- 
tieth year of king Je-ho'ash the priests had 
not repaired the breaches of the house. 

7 Then king Je-ho'ash called for 5 Je-hoi'- 
a-da the priest, and the other priests, and said 
unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of 
the house? now therefore receive no more 
money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for 
the breaches of the house. 

8 And the priests consented to receive no 
more money of the people, neither to repair 
the breaches of the house. 

9 But Je-hoi'a-da the priest took a chest, 
and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it 
beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh 
into the house of the 2 Lord: and the priests 
that kept the door put therein all the money 
that was brought into the house of the 2 Lord. 

10 And it was so, when they saw that there 
was much money in the chest, that the king's 
scribe and the high priest came up, and they 
put up in bags, and told the money that was 
found in the house of the 2 Lord. 

11 And they gave the money, being told, 
into the hands of them that did the work, that 
had the oversight of the house of the 2 Lord: 
and they laid it out to the carpenters and 
builders, that wrought upon the house of the 
2 Lord, 

12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and 
to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the 
breaches of the house .of the 2 Lord, and for all 
that was laid out for the house to repair it.

to sin; he departed not therefrom.

against Is'ra-el, and he delivered them into

the hand of Ben-ha'dad the son of Haz'a-el,

the oppression of Is'ra-el, because the king of 
Syr'i-a oppressed them.

Chapter 12. 

a. Joash was seven years when he began to reign; and he reigned 
forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beer- 
sheba. (II Chr. 24:1.) 

b. But the high places were not removed; nevertheless Asa's heart 
was perfect with the Lord all his days. (I Ks. 15:14.) And he walked 
in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that 
which was right in the eyes of the Lord; nevertheless the high places 
were not taken away;, for the people offered and burnt incense yet in 
the high places. (I Ks. 22:43.) Howbeit the high places were not taken 
away; as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high 
places. (II Ks. 14:4.) 

c. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faith- 
ful. (I Cor. 4:2.) Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this 
abundance which is administered by us. (II Cor. 8:20.) 

d. If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the 
holy things of the Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the 
Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thine estimation by 
3heke!s of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offer- 
ing. (Lev. 5:15.) 

e. As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering; there is one 
law for them: The priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have 
it. (Lev. 7:7.) This shall be thine of the most hoiy things, reserved 
from the 6re; every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and 
every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which 



they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy son. 
(Num. 18:9.) 
Chapter 13. 

a. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he de- 
livered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold 
them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could 
not any longer stand before their enemies. (Jud. 2:14.) And the anger 
of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. (Num. 12:9.) 
And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them 
into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of 
Amnion. (Jud. 10:7.) Who can stand before his indignation? and who 
can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like 
fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. (Nah. 1:6.) 

b. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people 
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task- 
masters; for I know their sorrows. (Ex. 3:7.) The eyes of the Lord are 
in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Prov. 15:3.) Great in 
counsel and mighty in work; for thine eyes are open upon all ways of 
the sons of men; to give every one according to his ways, and ac- 
cording to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 32:19.) 

c. For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: 
for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. 
And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from 
under heaven; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of 
Joash. (II Ks. 14:26, 27.)

mained the grove also in Sa-ma'ri-a.) 

7 Neither did he leave of the people to Je- 
h5'a-haz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, 
and ten thousand footmen; for the king of 
Syr'i-a had destroyed them, and had made 
them like the 4 dust by threshing. 

8 U Now the rest of the acts of Je-ho'a-haz, 
and all that he did, and his might, are they not 
written in the book of the chronicles of the

his son reigned in his stead.

ash king of Ju'dah began Je-hd'ash the son of 
Je-ho'a-haz to reign over Is'ra-el in Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and reigned sixteen years. 

11 And he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the "Lord; he departed not from all 
the sins of Jer-o-bo'am the son of Ne'bat, who 
made Is'ra-el sin : but he walked therein. 

12 And the rest of the acts of Jo'ash, and 
all that he did, and his might wherewith he 
fought against Am-a-zi'ah king of Ju'dah, are

13 And Jo'ash slept with his fathers; and 
Jer-o-bo'am sat upon his throne: and Jo'ash 
was buried in Sa-ma'ri-a with the kings of 
is'ra-el. 

14 1f 7 Now s E-li'sha was fallen sick of his 
sickness whereof he died. And JS'ash the king 
of Is'ra-el came down unto him, and wept over 
his face, and said, O my father, my father, 
d the chariot of Is'ra-el, and the horsemen 
thereof. 

15 And E-li'sha said unto him, Take bow 
and arrows. And he took unto him bow and 
arrows. 

16 And he said to the king of is'ra-el, Put 
thine hand upon the bow. And he put his 
hand upon it : and E-li'sha put his hands upon 
the king's hands. 

17 And he said, Open the window eastward. 
And he opened it. Then E-li'sha said, Shoot. 
And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the 
2 Lord's p deliverance, and the arrow of deliver- 
ance from Syr'i-a: for thou shalt smite the 
Syr'i-an§ in A'phek, till thou have consumed 
them. 

18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he 
took them. And he said unto the king of is'- 
ra-el, Smite upon the ground. And he smote 
thrice, and stayed. 

19 And the man of God was wroth with him, 
and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or 
six times; then hadst thou smitten Syr'i-a till 
thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou 
shalt smite Syr'i-a but thrice. 

20 1 And 9 E-li'sha died, and they buried him.

father. 

6 But the children of the murderers he slew 
not: according unto that which is written in 
the book 3 of the law of Mo'§e§, wherein the 
'Lord commanded, saying, The fathers & shall 
not be put to death for the children, nor the 
children be put to death for the fathers; but 
every man shall be put to death for his own

chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more; 
and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. (II 
Ks. 2:12.)

f. And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which 
slept arose. (Mat. 27:52.) He that is our God is the God of salvation;

g. But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted 
before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made my- 
self known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 
(Ezek. 20:9.) See ch. 14, v. 27. 

h. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his cove- 
nant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon 
the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. (Ex. 2:24, 25.) 

i. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom 
thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply 
your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken 
of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. (Ex. 
32:13.) And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will 
multiply thee exceedingly (2). And Abram fell on his face: and God 



talked with him, saying (3), As for me, behold, my covenant is with 
thee; and thou shalt be a father of many nations (4). Neither shall 
thy name be any more called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; 
a father of many nations have I made thee. (Gen. 17:2-5.)

Chapter 14. 

a. But the high places were not taken away; the people still sacri- 
ficed and burnt incense in the high places. (II Ks. 12:3.) But the high 
places were not removed; nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the 
Lord all his days. (I Ks. 15:14.) 

b. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither 
shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be 
put to death for his own sin. (Dt. 24:16.) Behold all souls are mine; 
as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine; the soul 
that slnneth, it shall die (4). The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The 
son sliall not hear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father 
bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be 
upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. (Ezek. 
18:4, 20.) 

c. The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; 
and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. (Jud. 9:8.)

10 Thou hast indeed smitten E'dom, and I 
thine d heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, 
and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou 
e meddle to thy hurt, that you shouldest fall, , 
even thou, and Ju'dah with thee? 

11 But Am-a-zi'ah would not hear. There- ' 
fore Je-ho'ash king of Is'ra-el went up; and he 
and Am-a-zi'ah king of Ju'dah looked one an- 
other in the face at Beth-she'mesh, which be- ' 
longeth to Ju'dah. 

12 And Ju'dah was put *to the worse before 
Is'ra-el; and they fled every man to their tents. 

13 And Je-ho'ash king of Is'ra-el took Am-a- 
zi'ah king of Ju'dah, the son of Je-ho'ash the 
son of A-ha-zi'ah, at Beth-she'mesh, and came 
to Je-ru'sa-lem, and brake down the wall of 
Je-ru'sa-lem from the gate of E'phra-im unto 
the corner gate, "four hundred cubits. 

14 And he took all Hhe gold and silver, and 
all the vessels that were found in the house 
of the T^ord, and in the treasures of the king's 
house, and hostages, and returned to Sa-ma'- 
ri-a. 

15 H Now the rest of the acts of Je-ho'ash 
which he did, and his might, and how he fought 
with Am-a-zi'ah king of Ju'dah, are they not 
written in the book of the chronicles of the 
king's of Is'ra-el? 

16 And Je-ho'ash slept with his fathers, and 
was buried in Sa-ma'ri-a with the kings of 
is'ra-el; and Mer-o-bo'am his son reigned in 
his stead. 

17 r And Am-a-zi'ah the son of Jo'ash king 
of Ju'dah lived after the death of Je-ho'ash 
son of Je-ho'a-haz king of Is'ra-el fifteen years. 

18 And the rest of the acts of Am-a-zi'ah, 
are they not written in the book of the chron- 
icles of the kings of Ju'dah-? 

19 Now they made a Conspiracy against 
him in Je-ru'sa-lem: and he fled to Lachish;, 
but they sent after him to -"La'chish, and slew 
him there. 

20 And they brought him on horses: and he 
was buried at Je-ru'sa-lem with his fathers in 
the city of Da'vid. 

21 *~ And all the people of Ju'dah took s Az-a- 
ri'ah, which was sixteen years old, and made 
him king instead of his father Am-a-zi'ah. 

22 He built E'lath, and restored it to Ju'dah, 
after that the king slept with his fathers. 

23 *~ In the fifteenth year of Am-a-zi'ah the 
son of Jo'ash king of Ju'dah c Jer-o-bo'am the 
son of Jo'ash king of Is'ra-el began to reign in 
Sa-ma'ri-a, and reigned forty and one years. 

24 And he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the ^ord: he departed not from all 
the sins of Jer-o-bo'am the son of Netat, who 
made Is'ra-el to sin. 

25 He restored the coast of Is'ra-el from

26 For the "Lord 'saw the affliction of Is'- 
ra-el, that it was very bitter: for there was 
not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper 
for Is'ra-el. 

27 And the ■'Lord said not that he would 
blot out the name of Is'ra-el from under 
heaven: but he saved them by the hand of 
'"Jer-o-bo'am the son of Jo'ash.

Ha'math, ''which belonged to Ju'dah, for Is'- 
ra-el, are they not written in the book of the 
chronicles of the kings of Is'ra-el? 

29 And 6 Jer-o-bo'am slept with his fathers, 
even with the kings of Is'ra-el; and Zach-a-ri'- 
ah his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 Azariah's good reign. 5 Jotham succeedeth 
him. 8 Zachariah, reigning ill, is slain by 
Shallum, 13 who is slain by Menahem. 16 
Menahem strengtheneth himself by Pul. 21 
Pekahiah succeedeth him, 23 and is slain by 
Pekah. 27 Pekah is oppressed, by Tiglatli- 
pileser, and slain by Hoshea. 32 Jotham' s 
good reign. 36 Ahaz succeedeth him. 

1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jer-o- 
bo'am king of Is'ra-el began Az-a-ri'ah son of 
Am-a-zi'ah king of Ju'dah to reign. 

2 Sixteen years old was he when he began 
to reign, and he reigned ] two and fifty years 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name was 
Jech-o-Il'ah of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3 And he did that which was right in the 
sight of the "Lord, according to all that his 
father Am-a-zi'ah had done; 

4 "Save that the high ^places were not re- 
moved: the people sacrificed and burnt incense 
still on the high places. 

5 Tf And the = Lord ^smote *the king, so that 
he was a leper unto the day of his death, and 
c dwelt in a "'several house. And Jo'tham the 
king's son was over the house, judging the 
people of the land. 

6 And the rest of the acts of Az-a-ri'ah, and 
all that he did, are they not written in the book 
of the chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah? 

7 So Az-a-ri'ah slept with his fathers; and 
they buried him with his fathers in the city 
of ba'vid: and c Jo'tham his son reigned in his 
stead. 

8 *" In the thirty and eighth year of Az-a-ri'- 
ah king of Ju'dah did Zach-a-ri'ah the son of 
Jer-o-bo'am reign over is'ra-el in Sa-ma'ri-a 
six months. 

9 And he did that which was evil in the sight 
of the 2 Lord, as his fathers had done: he de- 
parted not from the sins of Jer-o-bo'am the 
son of NeTjat, who made Is'ra-el to sin. 



d. Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the lord thy God, 
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of 
bondage. (Dt. 8:14.) But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the 
benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up; therefore there was 
wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. (II Chr. 32:25.) Be- 
hold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him; but the just 
shall live by his faith. (Hab. 2:4.) 

e. He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to 
him is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. (Prov. 26:17.) 

f. See II Ks. 12:18; I Ks. 14:26. 

g. Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following 
the Lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled 
to Lachish; but they sent to Lachish after him and slew him there. 
(II Chr. 25:27.) 

h. So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of 
Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. (Num. 13:21.) From mount 
Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and 
the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad. (Num. 34:8.) 

i. And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto 
him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria 
oppressed them. (II Ks. 13:4.) And the Lord said, I have surely seen 
the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their 
cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows. (Ex. 
3:7.) The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and 
the good. (Prov. 15:3.) Great in counsel and mighty in work; for thine 
eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men. (Jer. 32:19.) 



j. The Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from 
under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their 
tents as beforetime. (II Ks. 13:5.) 

k. Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians 
became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the Lord preserved 
David, whithersoever he went, (n Sam. S:6.) And he gathered men 
unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of 
Zobah; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in 
Damascus. (I Ks. 11:24.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacri- 
ficed the burnt incense in the high places. (II Ks. 12:3.) 

b. Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn 
incense: and while he was wroth with the priest, the leprosy even rose 
up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from be- 
side the incense altar. And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, 
looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they 
thrust him out from thence. Tea, himself hasted also to go out, because 
the Lord had smitten him. And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the 
day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper, for he 
was cut off from the house of the Lord; and Jotham his son was over 
the king's house, judging the people of the land. (II Chr. 26:19-21.) 

c. All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be de- 
filed: he is unclean; he shall dwell alone: without the camp shall his 
habitation be. (Lev. 13:46.)

10 And Shal'lum the son of Ja'besh conspired 
against him, and 7 smote ''him before the people, 
and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 

11 And the rest of the acts of Zach-a-ri'ah, 
behold, they are written in the book of the 
chronicles of the kings of Is'ra-el. 

12 This was the word of the "Lord c which 
he spake unto Je'hu, saying, Thy sons shall 
sit on the throne of Is'ra-el unto the fourth 
generation. And so it came to pass. 

13 *i s Shal'lum the son of Ja'besh began to 
reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uz-zi'ah 
king of Ju'dah; and he reigned a full month 
in Sa-ma'ri-a. 

14 For Men'a-hem the son of Ga'di went up 
from Tir'zah, and came to Sa-ma'ri-a, and 
smote Shal'lum the son of Ja'besh in Sa-ma'- 
ri-a, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 

15 And the rest of the acts of Shal'lum,

kings of Is'ra-el. 

16 It Then Men'a-hem smote Tiph'sah, and 
all that were therein, and the coasts thereof 
from Tir'zah: because they opened not to him, 
therefore he smote it; and all ''the women 
therein that were with child he ripped up. 

17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Az-a- 
rl'ah king of Ju'dah began Men'a-hem the son 
of Ga'di to reign over Is'ra-el, and reigned ten 
years in Sa-ma'ri-a. 

18 And he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the 2 Lord : he departed not all his 
days from the sins of Jer-o-b5'am the son of 
Ne'bat, who made Is'ra-el to sin. 

19 And 10 Pul the king of As-syr'i-a came 
against the land: and Men'a-hem gave Pul a 
thousand ''talents of silver, that his hand might 
be with him to s'confirm the kingdom in his 
hand. 

20 And Men'a-hem exacted the money of Is'- 
ra-el, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of 
each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the 
king of As-syr'i-a. , So the king of As-syr'i-a 
turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

d. And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, aDd the sanctu- 
aries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of 
Jeroboam with a sword. (Amos 7:9.) 

e. Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in 
mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that 
was in mine heart, thv children ot the fourth generation shall sit on the 
throne of Israel. (II Ks. 10:30.) 

f. -Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her 
God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in 
pieces; and their women with child shall be ripped up. (Hos. 13:16.) 

g. See ch. 14:5. 

h. Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, 
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite 
but for a moment? (Job 20:4, 5.) I have seen the wicked in great 
power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, 
and, lo. he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. (Ps. 
37:35, 36.) 

i. See h, ch. 15. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he that 
trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) 
Blessings are upon the head of the just; but violence covereth the mouth 
of the wicked (6). He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; but he 
that perverteth his ways shall be known (9). The lips of the righteous 
feed many; but fools die for want of wisdom (21). It is a sport to a 
fool to do mischief; but a man of understanding hath wisdom. The fear 
of the "wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous 
shall be granted. As the whirlwind passeth so is the wicked no more; 



but the righteous is an everlasting foundation (23-25). The hope of the 
righteous shall be gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall 
perish. The way of the Lord is strength to the upright; but destruction 
shall be to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be re- 
moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth (28-30). (Prov. 10:6. 
9, 21, 23-25, 28-30.) In the house of the righteous is much treasure; but 
in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. (Prov. 15:6.) The curse of the 
Lord is in the house of the wicked; but he blesseth the habitation of 
the just. (Prov. 3:33.) But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when 
it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, 
saith my God, to the wicked. (Is. 57:20, 21.) There is no darkness nor 
shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 
(Job 34:22.) Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he that trusteth 
in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) The Lord 
preserveth all them that love him; but all the wicked will he destroy. 
(Ps. 145:20 ) 

j. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; 
and all the upright in heart shall glory. (Ps. 64:10.) See Ps. 112. But 
the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more 
unto the perfect day. (Prov. 4:18.) For whosoever shall do the will of 
my father which is in heaven, the same as my brother, and sister, and 
mother. (Mat. 12:50.) Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou 
dwell in the land and verily thou shalt be fed. (Ps. 37:3.) To do justice 
and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. (Prov. 
21:3.) Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God. (Mat. 5:8.) 
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded 
you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

2 Twenty years old was A'haz when he be- 
gan to reign, and reigned sixteen years in 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and did not that "which was right 
in the sight of the s Lord his God, like Da'vid 
his father. 

3 But he walked in the way of the kings of 
Is'ra-el, yea, ''and made his son to pass through 
the *fire, according to the abominations of the 
heathen, whom the 3 Lord cast out from before 
the children of Is'ra-el. 

4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the 
6 high places, and on the hills, and under every 
green tree. 

5 1f Then Re'zin king of Syr'i-a and Pe'kah 
son of Rem-a-li'ah king of Is'ra-el came up to 
Je-ru'sa-lem to war: and they besieged A'haz, 
but could not overcome him. 

6 At that time Re'zin king of Syr'i-a recov- 
ered E'lath to Syr'i-a, and drave the_Jew§ from 
E'lath: and the Syr'i-an§ came to E'lath, and 
dwelt there unto this day. 

7 So A'haz sent messengers to Tig'lath-

servant and thy son: come up, and save me 
cut of the hand of the king of Syr'i-a, and out 
of the hand of the king of Is'ra-el, which rise 
up against me. 

8 And A'haz took the silver and gold that 
was found in the house of the 3 Lord, and in 
the treasures of the king's house, and sent it 
for a present to the king of As-syr'i-a. 

9 And the king of As-syr'1-a hearkened unto 
him : for the king of As-syr'i-a went up against 
Da-mas'cus, and took it, and carried the people 
of it captive to Kir, and slew Re'zin. 

10 IF And king A'haz went to Da-mas'cus to 
meet Tig'lath-pi-le'§er king of As-syr'i-a, and 
saw an altar that was at Da-mas'cus: and 
king A'haz sent to U-ri'jah the priest the fash- 
ion of the altar, and the pattern of it, accord- 
ing to all the workmanship thereof. 

11 And U-ri'jah the priest built an altar ac- 
cording to all that king A'haz had sent from 
Da-mas'cus: so U-ri'jah the priest made it 
against king A'haz came from Da-mas'cus. 

12 And when the king was come from Da- 
mas'cus, the king saw the altar: and the king 
approached to the altar, and offered thereon. 

13 And he burnt his burnt "offering and his 
meat 'offering, and poured his drink "offering, 
and sprinkled the blood of his peace 'offerings, 
upon the altar. 

14 And he brought also the brasen altar, 
which was "before the s Lord, from the fore- 
front of the house, from between the altar and 
the house of the 3 Lord, and put it on the north 
side of the altar. 

15 And king A'haz commanded U-ri'jah the 
priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the 
''morning e burnt offering, and the evening meat 
'offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his 
meat 'offering, with the burnt "offering of all 
the people of the land, and their meat 'offer-

16 Thus did U-ri'jah the priest, according 
to all that king Aliaz commanded.

the bases, and removed the laver from off 
them; and took down the sea from off the 
brasen oxen that were under it, and put it 
upon a pavement of stones. 

18 And the covert for the sabbath that they 
had built in the house, and the king's entry 
without, turned he from the house of the 
'Lord for the king of As-syr'i-a. 

19 IF Now the rest of the acts of A'haz which 
he did, are they not written in the book of the 
chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah?

was buried with his fathers in the city of 
Da'vid: and Hez-e-ki'ah his son reigned in his 
stead.

being plagued with lions, make a mixture of

1 s In the twelfth year of A'haz king of Ju'- 
dah began Ho-she'a the son of E'lah to reign 
in Sa-ma'ri-a over Is'ra-el nine years. 

2 And he did that which "was evil in the 
sight of the 2 Lord, but not 3 as the kings of 
Is'ra-el that were before him. 

3 IF Against him came up Shal-man-e^er 
king of As-syr'i-a; and Ho-she'a became his 
servant, and gave him presents. 

4 And the king of As-syr'i-a found con- 
spiracy in Ho-she'a: for he had sent messen- 
gers to So king of E'gypt, and brought no 
present to the king of As-syr'i-a, as he had 
done year by year: therefore the king of As- 
syr'i-a shut him up, and bound him in prison. 

5 IF Then the king of As-syr'i-a came up 
throughout all the land, and went up to Sa- 
rna'ri-a, and besieged it three years. 

6 IF In the ninth year of Ho-she'a the king 
of As-syr'i-a took Sa-ma'ri-a, and carried Is'- 
ra-el away into As-syr'i-a, and placed them in 
Ha'lah and in Ha'bor by the river of Go'zan, 
and in the cities of the Mede§. 

7 For so ''it was, that the children of Is'- 
ra-el "had sinned against the 2 Lord their God, 
which had brought them up out of the land of 
E'gypt, from under the hand of Pha'radh king 
of E'gypt, and had feared other gods, 

8 And ^walked in the statutes of the hea- 
then, whom the 2 Lord cast out from before the 
children of Is'ra-el, and of the kings of Is'- 
ra-el, which they had made. 

9 And the children of Is'ra-el did secretly 
"those ^things that were not right against the 
"Lord their God, and they built them high

watchmen to the fenced city.

in every high hill, and under every green tree: 

11 And there they burnt incense in all the 
high places, as did the heathen whom the "Lord 
carried away before them; and wrought wicked 
things to "provoke the "Lord to anger: 

12 For they served idols, d whereof the 2 Lord 
hud said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. 

13 Yet the "Lord testified against Is'ra-el, 
and against Ju'dah, by 7 all the prophets, and 
by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your 
evil ways, and keep 'my commandments and 
my statutes, according to all the law which I 
commanded your fathers, and which I sent to 
you by my servants the prophets. 

14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, 
but hardened their necks, like to the neck of 
their fathers, that did not believe in the 2 Lord 
their God. 

15 And they rejected ''his statutes, and his 
covenant that he made with their fathers, and 
his testimonies which he testified against 
them; and they followed »vanity, and ''became 
vain, and went after the heathen that were 
round about them, concerning whom the 2 Lord 
had charged them, that they should not do like 
them. 

16 And they left all the commandments of 
the 2 Lord their God, and %iade them molten 
images, even two calves, and made a grove, and 
Worshipped all the host of heaven, and served 
Baal. 

17 And they caused their sons and their 
daughters to pass through the fire, and used 
divination and enchantments, and sold them- 
selves to do "evil in the sight of the 2 Lord, to 
provoke him to anger. 

18 Therefore the Lord was very "angry with 
is'ra-el, and "removed them out of his sight: 
there was none left but the tribe of Ju'dah 
only. 

19 Also "Ju'dah kept not the commandments 
of the 2 Lord their God, but walked in the stat- 
utes of Is'ra-el winch they made. 

20 And the z Lord rejected all the seed of 
Is'ra-el, and afflicted them, and delivered them 
into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast 
them out of his sight. 

21 For he rent Is'ra-el from the house of 
Da'vid; and they made Jer-o-bo'am the son of 
Ne'bat king: and Jer-o-bo'am drave Is'ra-el 
from following the Lord, and made them sin a 
great sin. 

22 For the children of Is'ra-el walked in all 
the sins of Jer-o-bo'am which he did; they de- 
parted not from them; 

23 Until the 2 Lord removed Is'ra-el out of 
his sight, as he had said by all his servants 
the prophets. So was Is'ra-el carried away 
out of their own land to 12 As'syr'i-a unto this 
day. 

24 II "And the king of As-syr'i-a brought 
men from Bab'y-lon, and from Cu'thah, and 
from A'va, and from Ha'math, and from Seph- 
ar-va'im, and placed them in the cities of Sa- 
ma'ri-a, instead of the children of Is'ra-el:

and they possessed Sa-ma'ri-a, and dwelt in the 
cities thereof. 

25 And so it was at the beginning of their 
dwelling there, that 'they feared not the Lord : 
therefore the Lord sent lions among them, 
which slew some of them. 

26 Wherefore they spake to the king of A's- 
syr'i-a, saying, The nations which thou hast 
removed, and placed in the cities of Sa-ma'- 
ri-a, know not the manner of the God of the 
land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, 
and, behold, they slay them, because they 
know not the manner of the God of the land, 

27 Then the king of As-syr'i-a commanded, 
saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom 
ye brought from thence: and let them go and 
dwell there, and let him teach them the man- 
ner of the God of the land. 

28 Then one of the priests whom they had 
carried away from Sa-ma'ri-a came and dwelt 
in Beth'-el, and taught them how they should 
fear ->the 2 Lord. 

29 Howbeit every nation made d gods of their 
own, and put them in the houses of the high 
places which the "Sa-mar'I-tansj had made, 
every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. 

30 And the men of Bab'y-lon made Suc'- 
coth-be'noth, and the men of Cuth made Ner'- 
gal, and the men of Ha'math made Ash'i-ma, 

31 And the A'vltes made Nib'haz and Tar'- 
tak, and the Seph'ar-vites burnt their children 
in fire to A-dram'me-lech and A-nam'me-lech, 
the gods of Seph-ar-va'im. 

32 So they feared 'the 2 Lord, and made unto 
themselves of the lowest of them priests of 
the high places, which sacrificed for them in 
the houses of the high places. 

33 They feared the 2 Lord, 'and served their 
own d gods, after the manner of the nations 
whom they carried away from thence. 

34 Unto this day they do after the former 
manners: they fear *not the 2 Lord, neither do 
they after their statutes, or after their ordi- 
nances, or after the law and commandment 
which the 2 Lord commanded the children of 
Ja'cob, ' i whom he named Is'ra-el; 

35 With whom the 2 Lord had made a cove- 
nant, and charged them, saying, 'Ye shall not 
fear other gods, nor d bow yourselves to them, 
nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them : 

36 But the 2 Lord, who brought you up out 
of the land of E'gypt with great power and 
a stretched out arm, "'him shall ye fear, and 
him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do 
sacrifice. 

37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and 
the law, "and the commandment, which he 
wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for ever- 
more; and ye shall not fear other gods. 

38 And the covenant that I have made with 
you °ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear 
other gods. 

39 But the 2 Lord your God *ye shall fear; 
and he shall ^deliver you out of the hand of 
all your enemies. 

40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they 
did after their former manner. 



d. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make 
unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in 
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 
under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve 
them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of 
the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of 
them that hate me. (Ex. 20:3-5.) Confounded be all they that serve 
graven images, that boast themselves of idols; worship him, all ye 
gods. (Ps. 97:7.) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, 
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all 
liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and 
brimstone; which is the second death. (Rev. 21:8.) 

e. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

f. Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant 
of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he 
brought them forth out of the land of Egypt. (Dt. 29:25.) 

g. As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered 
in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, 
and that there is none other God but one, (I Cor. 8:4.) 



h. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that 
trusteth in them. (Ps. 115:8.) 

i. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from th6 
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, 
having no hope, and without God in the world. (Eph. 2:12.) 

j. See e, ch. 12, I Sam. 

k. Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a 
prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 
(Gen. 32:28.) 

1. I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, ia 
whose land ye dwell; but ye have not obeyed my voice. (Jud. 6:10.) 

m. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him thou shalt serve, and to 
him thou shalt cleave, and swear by his name. (Dt. 10:20.)

1 Now it came to pass in the third year of 
Ho-she'a son of E'lah king of is'ra-el, that 
Hez-e-ki'ah the son of A'haz king of Ju'dah 
began to reign. 

2 Twenty and "five years old was he when 
he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and 
nine years in Je-ru'sa-lem. His mother's name 
also was A'bi, the daughter of Zach-a-ri'ah. 

3 And he did °that which was right in the 
sight of the 3 Lord, according to all that David 
his father did. 

4 If He ^removed the high places, and brake 
the images, and cut down the groves, and 
brake in pieces the c brasen serpent that Mo'- 
ses. had made: for unto those days the children 
of is'ra-el did burn incense to it: and he called 
it Ne-hush'tan. 

5 He ^trusted in the s Lord God of Is'ra-el; 
so that after him was 4l 'none like him among 
all the kings of Ju'dah, nor any that were be- 
fore him. 

6 For he ^clave to the Lord, and departed 
not from following him, but kept his #com-

7 And the Lord ''was with him; and he pros- 
pered whithersoever he went forth : and he 
'rebelled against the king of As-syr'i-a, and 
served him not. 

8 He smote the Phi-lis'tineg, even unto Ga'za,

year of Ho-she'a son of E'lah king of Is'ra-el, 
that Shal-man-e'ser king of As-syr'i-a came

13 1f 6 Now in the fourteenth year of king 
Hez-e-ki'ah did Sen-nach'e-rib king of As-

of Ju'dah, and took them. 

14 And Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah sent to 
the king of As-syr'i-a to La'chish, saying, 1 
have offended; return from me: that which 
thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king 
of As-syr'i-a appointed unto Hez-e-ki'ah king 
of Ju'dah three 7 hundred talents of silver and 
thirty s talents of gold. 

15 And Hez-e-ki'ah gave him all the silver 
that was found in the house of the 3 Lord, and 
in the treasures of the king's house. 

16 At that time did Hez-e-ki'ah cut off the 
gold from the doors of the temple of the 3 Lord, 
and from the pillars which Hez-e-ki'ah king 
of Ju'dah had overlaid, and gave it to the king 
of ,J As-syr'i-a.

tan and Rab'sa-ris and Rab'-sha-keh from La'- 
chish to king Hez-e-ki'ah with a great host 
against Je-ru'sa-lem. And they went up and 
came to Je-ru'sa-lem. And when they were 
come up, they came and stood by the conduit 
of the upper pool, which is in the highway of 
the "fuller's field. 

18 And when they had called to the king, 
there came out to them E-li'a-kim the son of 
Hil-ki'ah, which was over the household, and 
Sheb'na the scribe, and Jo'ah the son of A'saph 
the recorder. 

19 And Rab'-sha-keh said unto them, Speak 
ye now to Hez-e-ki'ah, Thus saith the great 
king, the king of As-syr'i-a, What confidence 
is this wherein thou trustest? 

20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain 
words,) I have counsel and strength for the 
war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou 
rebellest against me? 

21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff 
of this bruised reed, even upon E'gypt, on 
which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, 
and pierce it: so is Pha'raoh king of E'gypt 
unto all that trust on him. 

22 But if ye say unto me, We fc trust in the 
Lord our God : is not that he, whose high places 
and whose altars Hez-e-ki'ah hath taken away, 
and hath said to Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, Ye 
shall worship before this altar in Je-ru'sa-lem? 

23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges 
to my lord the king of As-syr'i-a, and I will 
deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be 
able on thy part to set riders upon them. 

24 How then wilt thou turn away the face 



my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto rne. (Heb. 13:6.) 
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burn- 
ing fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 
(Dan. 3:17.) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 
(Mat. 6:13.) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and fore- 
knowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified 
and slain. (Acts 2:23.) Thou art my hiding place: thou shalt preserve 
me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliver- 
ance. Selah. (Ps. 32:7.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor 
counsel against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) What shall we then say to 
these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

q. No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one 
ard love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the 
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Luke 16:13.) God is a 
Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in 
truth. (Jno. 4:24.) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor 
hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. (Rev. 3:15.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. See j, ch. 15. 

b. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, 
and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn 
their graven images with fire. (Dt. 7:5.) 

c. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole: 
and it came to pass that if a serpent had bitten any. man, when he 
beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. (Num. 21:9.) 

d. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him; but I will maintain 
mine own ways before him. (Job 13:15.) But I have trusted in thy 
mercies; my heart will rejoice in thy salvation. (Ps. 13:5.) The fear 
of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall 
be saved. (Prov. 29:25.) Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, 
and whose hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) Trust ye in the Lord for ever - : 
for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. (Is. 26:4.) 



e. And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned 
to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his 
might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there 
any like him. (II Ks. 23:25.) 

f. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: him shalt thou serve, and to 
him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. (Dt. 10:20.) 

g. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

h. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, 
he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 
(II Chr. 15:2.) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse 
your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 
(Ja. 4:8.) And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the 
Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of 
the thoughts; if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou 
forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) And ye shall 
seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your hearts. 
(Jer. 29:13.) 

i. See ch. 16:7. 

j. Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which 
spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to 
all the people of the land (6). Neither have we obeyed the voice of the 
Lord our God. to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his ser- 
vants the prophets. (Dan. 9:6, 10.) For so it was, that the children of 
Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them 
up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of 
Egypt, and had feared other gods. (II Ks. 17:7.) 

k. But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice; let them 
ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; let them also that love 
thy name be joyful in thee. (Ps. 5:11.) Many sorrows shall be to the 
wicked; but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him 
about. (Ps. 32:10.) O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is 
the man that trusteth in him (8). The Lord redeemeth the soul of his

of one captain of the least of my master's serv- 
ants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots 
and for horsemen? 

25 Am I now come up without the 3 Lord 
against this place to destroy it? The Lord said 
'to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 

26 Then said E-li'a-kim the son of HIl-kTah, 
and Sheb'na, and Jo'ah, unto Rab'sha-keh, 
Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the 
Syr'i-an language; for we understand it: and 
talk not with us in the Jews/ language in the 
ears of the people that are on the wall. 

27 But Rab'-sha-keh said unto them, Hath 
my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, 
to speak these words? hath he not sent me to 
the men which sit on the wall, that they may 
eat their own dung, and drink their own piss 
with you? 

28 Then Rab'-sha-keh stood and cried with 
a loud voice in the Jews/ language, and spake, 
saying, Hear the word of the great king, the 
king of As-syr'i-a: 

29 Thus saith the king, '"Let not Hez-e-ki'ah 
deceive you : for he shall not be able to deliver 
you out of his hand: 

30 Neither let Hez-e-ki'ah make you trust 
in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely de- 
liver us, and this city shall not be delivered 
into the hand of the king of As-syr'i-a. 

31 Hearken not to Hez-e-ki'ah: for thus 
saith the king of As-syr'i-a, Make an agree- 
ment with me by a present, and come out to 
me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, 
and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye 
every one the waters of his cistern: 

32 Until I come and take you away to a land 
like your own land, "a land of corn and wine, 
a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil 
olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not 
die: and hearken not unto Hez-e-ki'ah, when 
he persuadeth you, saying, The Lord °will de- 
liver us. 

33 Hath any of the gods of the nations de- 
livered at all his fend out of the hand of the 
king of As-syr'i-a? 

34 Where are the gods of Ha'math, and of 
Ar'pad? where are the gods of Seph-ar-va'im, 
He'na, and i'vah? have they delivered Sa-ma'- 
ri-a out of mine hand? 

35 Who are they among all the gods of the 
countries, that have delivered their country 
out of mine hand, ^that the Lord should deliver 
Je-ru'sa-lem out of mine hand? 

36 But the people held their peace, and an- 
swered him not a word: for the king's com- 
mandment was, saying, Answer him not. 

37 Then came E-H'a-kim the son of Hil- 
ki'ah, which was over the household, and Sheb'- 
na the scribe, and Jo'ah the son of A'saph the 
recorder, to Hez-e-ki'ah with their clothes rent, 
and told him the words of Rab'-sha-keh.

4. A prophet under the reigns of 
Uzziab, Jotharn, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. 
king of Judah. According to Jewish 
tradition, Isaiah was either a broth- 
er or nephew of king Amaziah. The 
age in which this prophet lived was 
one of the most critical in history, as 
it was an age when the true mission 
of Israel was in need of being spe- 
cially emphasized, and to this mission 
Isaiah was divinely called. His pub- 
lic service covered about 22 years. 
Isaiah was a resident and native of 
Jerusalem. Like Elijah, his dress 
was hairy sackcloth, the symbol of 
repentance. (Isaiah 22:12)— "And in 
that day did the Lord God of hosts 
call to weeping and to mourning and 
to baldness and to girding with sack- 
cloth." Thus his very appearance 
constantly admonished the people, 
"Repent, repent!"

of the destruction of Sennacherib. 35 An 
angel slayeth the Assyrians. 36 Sennache- 
rib is slain at Nineveh by his own sons. 

1 And it came to pass, when king Hez-e- 
ki'ah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and 
covered himself with sackcloth, and went into 
the house of the 2 Lord. 

2 And he sent E-li'a-kim, which was over 
the household, and Sheb'na the scribe, and the 
elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, 
to I-§a'iah the prophet the son of A'moz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hez-e- 
ki'ah, This day is a day of trouble, and of re- 
buke, and blasphemy: for the children are 
come to the birth, and there is not strength 
to bring forth. 

4 It may be the 2 Lord thy God will hear all 
the words of Rab'-sha-keh, whom the king of 
As-syr'i-a his master hath sent to reproach 
the living God; and will reprove the words 
which the 2 Lord thy God hath heard: where- 
fore a lift up thy prayer for the remnant that 
are left. 

5 So the servants of king Hez-e-ki'ah came 
to I-§a'iah. 

6 f 3 And 'I-§a'iah said unto them, Thus shall 
ye say to your master, Thus saith the 2 Lord, 
''Be not afraid of the words which thou hast 
heard, with which the servants of the king of 
As-syr'i-a have blasphemed me. 

7 Behold, I "will send a s blast upon him, and 
he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to 
his own land; and I will cause him to fall by 
the sword in his own land. 

8 1f G So Rab'-sha-keh returned, and found the 
king of As-syr'i-a warring against Lib'nah : 
for he had heard that he was departed from 
La'chish. 

9_And when he heard say of Tir'ha-kah king 
of E-thi-5'pi-a, Behold, he is come out to fight 
against thee: he sent messengers again unto 
Hez-e-ki'ah, saying, 

10 Thus shall ye speak to Hez-e-ki'ah king 
of Ju'dah, saying, Let not thy God c in whom 
thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall not be delivered into the hand of the king 
of As-syr'i-a. 

11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings 
of As-syr'i-a have done to all lands, by des- 
troying them utterly: and shalt thou be deliv- 
ered? 

12 Have the gods of the nations delivered 
them which my fathers have destroyed; as 
G5'zan, and Ha'ran, and Re'zeph, and the chil- 
dren of E'den which were in The-la'sar? 

13 Where is the king of Ha'math, and the 
king of Ar'pad, and the king of the city of 
Seph-ar-va'im, of He'na, and i'vah? 

14 1I 7 And Hez-e-ki'ah received the letter of 
the hand of the messengers, and read it: and 
Hez-e-ki'ah went up into the house of the Lord, 
and spread it before the Lord. 

15 And Hez-e-ki'ah prayed before the 2 Lord, 
and said, O 2 Lord God of Ts'ra-el, which dwell- 



servants; and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. (Ps. 
34:8, 22.) It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. 
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. 
(Ps. 118:8, 9.) 

1. The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon 
thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim 
departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria. (Is. 7:17.) O 
Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine in- 
dignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against 
the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and 
to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 
(Is. 10:5, 6.) 

m. Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you 
on this manner, neither yet believe him; for no god of any nation or 
kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the 
hand of my fathers; how much less shall your God deliver you. out of 
mine hand? (II Chr. 32:15.) 

n. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land; a land 
of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys 
and hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and 
pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey. (Dt. 8:7, 8.) 

o. See p, ch. 17, II Ks. 



p. Ye shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river 
unto the ends of the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow 
before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. (Ps. 72:8, 9.) Now if 
ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, 
harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall 
down and worship the image which I have made; well; but if ye worship 
not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery fur- 
nace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 
(Dan. 3:15.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, 
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man 
availeth much. (Ja. 5:16.) 

b. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see 
the salvation of the Lord, which he will show you today; for the Egyp- 
tians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for 
ever. (Ex. 14:13.) 

c. He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was 
none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before 
him. (II Ks. 18:5.) Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. 
(Prov. 29:25.) But he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the 
land, and shall inherit my holy mountain. (Is. 57:13.)

even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the 
earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. 

16 "Lord, bow down thine ear, and hear: 
open, "Lord, thine eyes, and see: and hear the 
words of Sen-nach'e-rib, which hath sent him 
to reproach the living God. 

17 Of a truth, -Lord, the kings of As-syr'i-a 
have destroyed the nations and their lands, 

18 And have cast their gods into the fire: 
for they were no gods, but the work of men's 
hands, wood and stone: therefore they have 
destroyed them. 

19 Now therefore, "Lord our God, I be- 
seech thee, save thou us out of his hand, e that 
all the kingdoms of the earth may know that 
thou art the Lord God, even thou only. 

20 U 'Then I-sa'iah the son of A'moz sent to 
Hez-e-ki'ah, saying, Thus saith the "Lord God 
cf Is'ra-el, That which thou hast prayed to me 
against Sen-nach'e-rib king of As-syr'i-a I 
have heard. 

21 This is the word that the "Lord hath 
spoken concerning him; The virgin -'the daugh- 
ter of Zi'on hath despised thee, and laughed 
thee to scorn; the daughter of Je-ru'sa-lem 
hath shaken her head at thee. 

22 Whom hast thou reproached and blas- 
phemed? and against whom hast thou exalted 
thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? 
even against the f'Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

23 By thy messengers thou test reproached 
the Lord, and hast said, ^With the multitude 
of my chariots I am come up to the height of 
the mountains, to the sides of Leb'a-non, and 
will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and 
the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter 
into the lodgings of his borders, and into the 
forest of his Car'mel. 

24 I have digged and drank strange waters, 
and with the sole of my feet have I dried -up 
all the rivers of besieged places. 

25 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have 
done it, and of ancient times that I have 
formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that 
thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities 
into ruinous heaps. 

26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small 
power, they were dismayed and confounded; 
they were as the grass of the field, and as the 
green herb, as the grass on the house tops, 
and as com blasted before it be grown up. 

27 But 7i I know thy abode, and thy going out, 
and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 

28 Because thy rage against me and thy 
tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I 
will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in 
thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way 
bv which thou earnest. 

29 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye 
shall eat this year such things as grow of 
themselves, and in the second year that which 
springeth of the same; and in the third year

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning 
the king of As-syr'i-a, He shall not come into 
this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come 
before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. 

33 By the way that he came, by the same

CHAPTER 20. 
1 Hezekiah, having received a message of 
• death, by prayer hath his life lengthened. 
8 The sun goeth ten degrees backward for a 
sign of that promise. 14 Isaiah foretelleth 
the Babylonian captivity. 20 Manasseh suc- 
ceedeth Hezekiah. 

1 In those days was Hez-e-ki'ah sick unto 
death. And the prophet I-sa'iah the son of 
A'moz came to him, and said unto him, Thus 
saith the *Lord, Set thine house in order; for 
thou shalt die, and not live. 

2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and 
prayed unto the 2 Lord, saying, 

3 I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now 
how I have a walked before thee in truth and 
with a perfect "heart, and have done that which 
is good in thy sight. And Hez-e-ki'ah wept 
sore. 

4 And it came to pass, afore I-sa'iah was 
gone out into the middle court, that the word 
of the x Lord came to him, saying, 

5 Turn again, and tell Hez-e-ki'ah the cap- 
tain of my people, Thus saith the 1 Lord, the 
God of Da'vid thy father, I have 5 heard thy 
prayer, I have seen c thy tears: behold, I will 
heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up 
unto the house of the Lord. 

6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years ; 
and I will deliver thee and this city out of the 
hand of the king of As-syr'i-a; and I will de- 
fend this city for mine own sake, and for my 
servant Da'vid's sake. 

7 And I-sa'iah said, Take a lump of figs. 
And they took and laid it on the boil, and he 
recovered. 

8 r And Hez-e-ki'ah said unto I-sa'ah. What 
shall be the sign that the x Lord will heal me, 



d. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and 
they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God. (I Ks. 
18:39.) For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord made 
the heavens. (Ps. 96:5.) I am the first, and I am the last; and beside 
me there is no God. (Is.' 44:6.) 

e. That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, 
art the most high over all the earth. (Ps. 83:18.) 

f. I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my 
God; unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. 
(Ps. 71:22.) For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, 
of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the 
Holy One of Israel. (Jer. 51:5.) 

g. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will re- 
member the name of the Lord our God. (Ps. 20:7.) Help us, O Lord 
our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this mul- 
titude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. 
(II Chr. 14:11.) 

h. O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest 



my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought 
afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art ac- 
quainted with all my ways. (Ps. 139:1-3.)

a. Xoah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Xoah

to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this dav!

(Ps. 65:2.) Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have 
heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears. (Is. 3S:5.) 

c. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry: hold not 
thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, 
as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, 
before I go hence, and be no more. (Ps. 39:12, 13.)

and that I shall go up into the house of the 
'Lord the third day? 

9 And 1-sa'iah said, d This sign shalt thou 
have of the" 'Lord, that the 'Lord will do the 
thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow 
go forward ten degrees, or go back ten de- 
grees? 

10 And Hez-e-ki'ah answered, It is a light 
thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: 
nay, but let the shadow return backward ten 
degrees. 

11 And I-sa'iah the prophet cried unto the 
'Lord : and he brought the shadow ten degrees 
backward, by which it had gone down in the 
dial of A'haz. 

12 11 At that time Be-ro'dach-bal'a-dan, the 
son of Bal'a-dan, king of Bab'y-lon, sent let- 
ters and a present unto Hez-e-ki'ah: for he 
had heard that Hez-e-ki'ah had been sick. 

13 And Hez-e-ki'ah hearkened unto them, 
and shewed them all the house of his precious 
things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, 
and the precious ointment, and all the house of 
his armour, and all that was found in his treas- 
ures: there was nothing in his house, nor in 
all his dominion, that Hez-e-ki'ah shewed them 
not. 

14 11 Then came I-sa'iah the prophet unto 
king Hez-e-ki'ah, and said unto him, What 
said these men? and from whence came they 
unto thee? And Hez-e-ki'ah said, They are 
come from a far country, even from Bab'y-lon. 

15 And he said, What have they seen in 
thine house? And Hez-e-ki'ah answered, All 
the things that are in mine house have they 
seen: there is nothing among my treasures 
that I have not shewed them. 

16 And 1-sa'iah said unto Hez-e-ki'ah, Hear 
the word of the Lord. 

17 Behold, the days come, that all that is 
in thine house, and that which thy fathers 
have laid up in store unto this day, e shall be 
carried into Bab'y-lon: nothing shall be left, 
saith the Lord. 

18 And of thy sons that shall issue from 
thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take 
away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace 
of the king of Bab'y-lon. 

19 Then said Hez-e-ki'ah unto I-sa'iah, Good 
is the word of the 'Lord which thou hast spo- 
ken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and 
truth be in my days? 

20 H And the rest of the acts of Hez-e-ki'ah, 
and all his might, and how he made a pool, 
and a conduit, and brought water into the city, 
are they not written in the book of the chron- 
icles of the kings of Ju'dah? 

21 And Hez-e-ki'ah slept with his fathers: 
and Ma-nas'seh his son reigned in his stead.

1 'Ma-nas'seh ! was twelve years old when he 
began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name was 
Heph'zi-bah. 

2 And he did that which was a evil in the 
sight of the Lord, after the abominations of 
the heathen, whom the 3 Lord cast out before 
the children of is'ra-el. 

3 For he built up again the high places 
which Hez-e-ki'ah his father had destroyed; 
and he reared up altars for Ba'al, and made a 
grove, as did A'hab king of Is'ra-el; and wor- 
shipped 6 all the host of heaven, and served 
them. 

4 And he built altars in the house of the 
3 Lord, of which the 3 Lord said, <Tn Je-ru'sa- 
lem will I put my name. 

5 And he built altars for all the host of 
heaven in the two courts of the house of the 
3 Lord. 

6 And he made his son pass ^through the 
fire, and observed times, and used enchant- 
ments, and dealt with familiar spirits and 
wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the 
sight of the 3 Lord, d to provoke him to anger. 

7 And he set a graven 'image c of the grove 
that he had made in the house, of which the 
Lord said to Da'vid, and to Sol'o-mon his son, 
In this house, and in Je-ru'sa-lem, which I 
have chosen out of all tribes of Is'ra-el, will 
I put my name for ever: 

8 Neither will I make the feet of Is'ra-el 
move any more out of the land which I gave 
their fathers: only if they will observe to do 
according to all that I have commanded them, 
and according to all the law that my servant 
Md'ses commanded them. 

9 But they hearkened not: and Ma-nas'seh 
seduced them to do more evil than did the na- 
tions whom the Lord destroyed before the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el. 

10 If And the 3 Lord spake by his servants the 
prophets, saying, 

11 Because Ma-nas'seh king of Ju'dah hath 
done these abominations, and hath done wick- 
edly above all that the Am ; or-ites did, which 
were before him, and hath made Ju'dah also 
to sin with his idols: 

12 Therefore thus saith the 3 Lord God of 
Is'ra-el, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon 
Je-ru'sa-lem and Ju'dah, that whosoever hear- 
eth of it, both ^his ears shall tingle. 

13 And I will stretch over Je-ru'sa-lem ^the 
line of Sa-ma'ri-a, and the plummet of the 
house of A'hab: and I will wipe Je-ru'sa-lem 
as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning 
it upside down. 

14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine 
inheritance, and deliver them into the hand 
of their enemies; and they shall become a prey 
and a spoil to all their enemies; 

15 Because they have done that which was 
evil in my sight, and have provoked me d to 
anger, since the day their fathers came forth 
out of E'gypt, even unto this day. 



d. And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the 
Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken. Behold, I will bring 
again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial 
of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by 
which degrees it was gone down. (Is. 38:7, 8.) 

e. I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a 
sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 
(Lev. 26:33.) Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, con- 
cerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord and in the 
house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem; They shall be carried 
to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, 
saith the Lord; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this 
place. (Jer. 27:21, 22.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. See i, ch. 15, II Ks. 

b. And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou 
seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, 
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord 
thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. (Dt. 4:19.) 

c. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the 
throne of his kingdom for ever. (II Sam. 7:13.) I have hallowed this 
house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine 
eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. (I Ks. 9:3.) 



d. He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the 
seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third 
day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. (Num. 19:12.) The 
anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him 
there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. (II Sam. 6:7.) 
The anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered 
into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad 
the son of Hazael, all their days. (II Ks. 13:3.) 

e. Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make 
unto you gods of gold. (Ex. 20:23.) Ye shall make you no idols nor 
graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye 
set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I 
am the Lord your God. (Lev. 26:1.) Thou shalt not make thee any 
graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or 
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth. 
(Dt. 5:8.) Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no 
gods? (Jer. 16:20.) 

f. Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of 
every one that heareth it shall tingle. (I Sam. 3:11.) Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this 
place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. (Jer. 19:3.)

16 Moreover Ma-nas'seh 6 shed innocent blood 
very much, till he had filled Je-ru'sa-lem from 
one end to another; beside his sin wherewith 
lie made Ju'dah to sin, in doing that which was 
evil in the sight of the Lord. 

17 r Xow the 7 rest of the acts of Ma-nas'seh, 
and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, 
are they not written in the book of the chron- 
icles of the kings of Ju'dah? 

18 And Ma-nas'seh slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in the garden of his own house, 
in the garden of tJz'za : and A'mon his son 
reigned in his stead. 

19 rs A'mon was twenty and two years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned two 
'years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name' 
was Me-shulie-meth, the daughter of Ha'ruz 
of Jofbah. 

20 And he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the Lord, as his father Ma-nas'seh 
did. 

21 And he walked in all the way that his 
father walked in, and served the idols that his 
father served, and worshipped them: 

22 And he ''forsook the Lord God of his 
fathers, and walked not in the way of the 
Lord. 

23 r And the servants of A'mon conspired 
against him, and slew the king in his own 
house. 

24 And the people of the land slew all them 
that had conspired against king A'mon; and 
the people of the land made Jo-sl'ah his son 
king in his stead. 

25 Xow the rest of the acts of A'mon which 
he did, are they not written in the book of the 
chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah?

garden of Uz'za: and Jo-si'ah his son reigned 
in his stead. 

CHAPTER 22. 
1 Josiah's good reign. 8 Hitkiah having 
found a book of the law, Josiah sendeth to 
Huldah to enquire of the Lord. 15 -Huldah 
prophesieth the destruction of Jerusalem, but 
respite thereof in Josiah's time. 

1 ^Jo-si'ah was eight years old when he be- 
gan to reign, and he reigned thirty and one 
years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name 
was Je-di'dah, the daughter of Ad-a-i'ah of 
Bos'cath. 

2 And he did that which "was right in the 
sight of the ^Lord, and walked in all the way 
of Da'vid his father, and ''turned not aside to 
the right hand or to the left. 

3 r And it came to pass in the Eighteenth 
year of king Jo-si'ah, that the king sent Sha'- 
phan the son of Az-a-H'ah, the son of Me-shul'- 
lam, the scribe, to the house of the 2 Lord, 
saying, 

4 Go up to Hil-ki'ah the high priest, that he 
may sum the silver which is brought into the 
house of the Lord, which the keepers of the 
door have gathered of the people:

and reigned 31 years. He is one of 
the most honored personages of Jew- 
ish history; especially was his reign 
distinguished for his enmity to all 
forms of idolatry. His life and reign 
was the fulfilling of the prophecy 
made 326 years before Josiah's birth 
in I Ks. 13:2 — "And he cried against 
the altar in the word of the Lord, and 
said. O altar, altar, thus saith the 
Lord; Behold, a child shall be born 
unto the house of David. Josiah by 
name; and upon thee shall he offer 
the priests of the high places that 
burn incense upon thee and men's 
bones shall be burnt upon thee." No

the doers of the work, that have the oversight 
of the house of the 2 Lord: and let them give 
it to the doers of the work which is in the 
house of the 2 Lord, to repair the breaches of 
the house, 

6 Unto carpenters, and builders, and ma- 
sons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to 
repair the house. 

7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with 
them of the money that was delivered into their 
hand, because they dealt faithfully. 

8 1i 4 And Hil-ki'ah the high priest said unto 
Sha'phan the scribe, I 5 have found the book of 
the law in the house of the Lord. And Hil- 
ki'ah gave the book to Sha'phan, and he 
read it. 

9 And Sha'phan the scribe came to the king, 
and brought the king word again, and said, 
Thy servants have gathered the money that 
was found in the house, and have delivered it 
into the hand of them that do the work, that 
have the oversight of the house of the 2 Lord. 

10 And Sha'phan the scribe shewed the king, 
saying, Hil-ki'ah the priest hath delivered me 
a book. And Sha'phan read it before the king. 

11 And it came to pass, when the king had 
heard the words of the book of the law, that 
he rent his clothes. 

12 And the king commanded Hil'ki'ah the 
priest, and A-hi'kam the son of Sha'phan, and 
Ach'bor the son of Mi-cha'iah, and Sha'phan 
the scribe, and A-sa-hi'ah a servant of the 
king's, saying, 

13 Go ye, ^enquire of the "Lord for me, and 
for the people, and for all Ju'dah, concerning 
the words of this book that is found: for great 
is d the wrath of the Lord that is kindled 
against us, because our fathers have not heark- 
ened unto the words of this book, to do accord- 
ing unto all that which is written concerning 
us. 

14 So Hil-ki'ah the priest, and A-hi'kam, 
and Ach'bor, and Sha'phan, and A-sa-hi'ah, 
went unto 'Huldah the prophetess, the wife of 
Shal'lum the son of Tik 'van, the son of Har'- 
has, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt 
in Je-ru'sa-lem in the college;) and they com- 
muned with her. 

15 r And she said unto them, Thus saith the 
2 Lord God of Is'ra-el, Tell the man that sent 
vou to me, 

16 Thus saith the 'Lord, Behold, e I will bring 
evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants 
thereof, even all the words of the book which 
the Icing of Ju'dah hath read: 

17 Because they have forsaken me, and have 
burned incense unto other gods, that they 
might provoke 'me to anger with all the works 
of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be 
kindled against this place, and shall not be 
quenched. 

18 But to the king of Ju'dah which sent you 
c to enquire of the Lord, thus "shall ye say to 
him, Thus saith the ^Lord God of Is'ra-el, As 
touching the words which thou hast heard; 

19 Because thine ''heart was tender, and 



destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament, 
ihey languished together. (Lam. 2:8.) Behold, I will set a plumbline 
in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any 
more. (Amos T:S.) 

h. And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought 
them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods 
of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto 
them, and provoked the Lord to anger. (Jud. 2:12.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. See j, ch. 15, II Ks. 

b. Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath 
commanded vcu: ve shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the 
left. (Dt. " 

c. See a, ch. 23. I Sam. 

d. The anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring 
upon it all the curses that are written in this book. (Dt. 29:27.) 

e. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even thy depart- 
ing, that they might not obey thy voice: therefore the curse is poured 
upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant 
of God, because we have sinned against him. And he hath confirmed his 
words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged 



us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath 
not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. (Dan. 9:11, 12.) 

f. The anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he de- 
parted. (Num. i2:9.) The anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, 
and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands 
of the children of Ammon. (Jud. 10:7.) Ephraim provoked him to anger 
most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his 
reproach shall his Lord return unto him. (Hos. 12:11.) Who can 
stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of 
his' anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown 
down by him. (Nah. 1:6.) 

g. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be 
prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear 
God, which fear before him. (Ecc. 8:12.) Say ye to the righteous, 
that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their 
doing. (Is. 3:10.) 

h. The sacrifices of Gcd are a broken spirit: a broken and a 
contrite heart. O God, thou wilt not despise. (Ps. 51:17.) I dwell in the 
high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble 
spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart o! 
the contrite ones. (Is. 57:15.)

thou hast 'humbled thyself before the Lord,

I also have heard thee, saith the 2 Lord. 

20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto 
thy fathers, and thou fr shalt be gathered into 
thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not

CHAPTER 23. 
1 Josiah causeth the book to be read in a sol- 
emn assembly. 3 He reneweth the covenant 
of the Lord. 4 He destroy eth idolatry. 21 
He kept a most solemn passover. 24 He put, 
away witches and all abomination. 29 Josiah 
is slain at Megiddo. 

1 'And the king "sent, and they gathered 
unto him all the elders of Ju'dah and of Je- 
ru'sa-lem. 

2 And the king went up into the house of 
the "Lord, and all the men of Ju'dah and all 
the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem with him, and 
the priests, and the prophets, and all the peo- 
ple, both small and great: and he read in their 
ears all the words of the book of the covenant 
which was found in the house of the 'Lord. 

3 1f And the king stood by a pillar, and made 
a covenant before the : Lord, to walk after the 
s Lord, and to keep his "commandments and his 
testimonies and his statutes with all their 
heart and all their soul, to perform the words 
of this covenant that were written in this 
book. And all the people 4 stood to the cove- 
nant. 

4 And the king commanded Hil-ki'ah the 
high priest, and the priests of the second order, 
and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out 
of the temple of the 3 Lord all the vessels that 
were made for Ba'al, and for the grove, and 
for all the host of,heaven: and he burned them 
without Je-ru'sa-lem in the fields of Kid'ron, 
and carried the ashes of them unto Beth'-el. 

5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, 
whom the kings of Ju'dah had ordained to 
burn incense 5 in the high places in the cities 
of Ju'dah, and in the places round about Je- 
ru'sa-lem ; them also that burned incense unto 
6 Ba'al, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the 
planets, and to all the host of heaven. 

6 And he brought out the grove from the 
house of the 3 Lord, without Je-ru'sa-lem, unto 
the brook Kid'ron, and burned it at the brook 
Kid'ron, and stamped it small to powder, and 
cast the powder thereof upon the graves of 
the children of the people. 

7 And he brake down the houses of c the 
"sodomites, that were by the house of the 3 Lord, 
where the women wove hangings for the grove. 

8 And he brought all the priests out of the 
cities of Ju'dah, and denied the high places 
where the priests had burned incense, from 
Ge'ba to Be'er-she'ba, and brake down the high 
places of the gates that were in the entering 
in of the gate of Josh'u-a the governor of the

9 Nevertheless the ''priests of the high places 
came not up to the altar of the 'Lord in Je- 
ru'sa-lem, but they did eat of the unleavened 
bread among their brethren. 

10 And he defiled To'pheth, which is in the 
valley of the children of Hin'nom, that no man 
might make his son or his daughter to pass 
through the fire to Mo'lech. 

11 And he took away the horses that the 
kings of Ju'dah 'had given to the sun, at the 
entering in of the house of the Lord, by the 
chamber of Na'than-me'lech the chamberlain, 
which was in the suburbs, and burned the char- 
iots of the sun with fire. 

12 And the altars that were on the top of 
the upper chamber of A'haz, which the kings 
of Ju'dah had made, and the altars which Ma- 
nas'seh had made in the two courts of the 
house of the "Lord, did the king beat down, 
and brake them down from thence, and cast 
the dust of them into the brook Kid'ron. 

13 And the high places that were before 
Je-ru'sa-lem, which were on the right hand of 
the mount of 'corruption, which Sol'o-mon the 
king of Is'ra-el had builded for Ash'to-reth the 
abomination of the Zl-do'ni-an§, and for Che'- 
mosh the abomination of the Mo'ab-ites, and 
for Mil'com the abomination of the children of 
Am'mon, did the king defile. 

14 And he brake in pieces the ^images, and 
cut down the groves, and filled their places 
with the bones of men. 

15 II Moreover the altar that was at Beth'-el, 
and the high place which Jer-o-b5'am the son 
of Ne'bat, who made Is'ra-el to sin, had made, 
both that altar and the high place he brake 
down, and burned the high place, and stamped 
it small to powder, and burned the grove. 

16 And as Jo-si'ah turned himself, he spied 
the sepulchres that were there in the mount, 
and sent, and took the bones out of the sep- 
ulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and 
polluted it, according to the word e of the Lord 
which the man of God proclaimed, who pro- 
claimed these words. 

17 Then he said, What title is that that I 
see? And the men of the city told him, It is 
the sepulchre of the man of God, which came 
from Ju'dah, and proclaimed these things that 
thou hast done against the altar of Beth'-el. 

18 And he said, Let him alone; let no man 
move his bones. So they let his bones alone, 
with the bones of the prophet that came out 
of Sa-ma'ri-a. 

19 And all the houses also of the high places 
that were in the cities of Sa-ma'ri-a, which 
the kings of Is'ra-el had made to provoke the 
''Lord to anger, Jo-sT'ah took away, and did to 
them according to all the acts that he had done 
in Beth'-el. 

20 And he slew all the priests of the high 
places that were there upon the altars, and 
burned men's bones upon them, and returned 
to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

21 H And the king commanded all the people, 



i. Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he 
humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but 
in his sons' days will I bring the evil upon his house. (I Ks. 21:29.) 

j. So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of 
your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have com- 
mitted; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and 
a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. (Jer. 44:22.) 

k. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end 
of that man is peace. (Ps. 37:37.) The righteous perisheth, and no man 
layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none consider- 
ing that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. (Is. 57:1, 2.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

b. And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and 
make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard 
out of thy mouth. (Ex. 23:13.) Thou shalt have none other gods before 
me. (Dt. 5:7.) Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods 
which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of 
Israel. (Josh. 24:23.) Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow your- 
selves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them. (II Ks. 17:35.) 



c. And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did accord- 
ing to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out 
before the children of Israel. (I Ks. 14:24.) 

d. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek 
the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. 
But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble 
at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord 
of hosts. (Mai. 2:7, 8.) 

e. O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born 
unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon these shall he 
offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and 
men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. (I Ks. 13:2.) 

f. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he 
departed. (Num. 12:9.) For the fire is kindled in mine anger, and 
shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her 
increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Dt. 32:22.) 
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 
(Ps. 7:11.) Bphraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore 
shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord 
return unto him. (Hos. 12:14.)

saying, Keep the passover unto the Lord your 
God, as it is written in the book of this cove- 
nant. 

22 Surely there was not holden such a pass- 
over from the days of the judges that judged 
Is'ra-el, nor in all the days of the kings of 
Isra-el, nor of the kings of Ju'dah; 

23 But in the eighteenth year of king Jo- 
si'ah, wherein this passover was holden to the 
''Lord in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

24 r ^Moreover, the workers with familiar 
spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and 
the idols, and all the abominations that were 
spied in the land of Ju'dah and in Je-ru'sa-lem, 
did Jo-si'ah put away, that he might perform 
the words of the law which were written in 
the book that Hil-kiah the priest found in the 
house of the 2 Lord. 

25 And like unto him was -there no king 
before him, that turned to the 3 Lord with all 
his heart,, and with all his soul, and with all 
his might, ' according to all the law of Mo'ses; 
neither after him arose there any like him. 

26 r 'Notwithstanding the Lord turned not 
from the fierceness of his great wrath, where- 
with his anger was kindled against Ju'dah, 
because of all the provocations that Ala-nas'- 
seh had provoked him withal. 

27 And the = Lord said, I will remove Ju'dah 
also out of my sight, as I have removed Is'- 
ra-el, and will cast off this city Je-ru'sa-lem 
which I have chosen, and the house of which 
I said, 9~My name shall be there. 

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jo-si'ah, and 
all that he did, are they not written in the 
book of the chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah? 

29 *~ In his days Pha'raoh-ne'choh king of 
Egypt went up against the king of As-syr'i-a 
to the river Eu-phra'tes: and king Jo-si'ah 
went against him; and he slew him at ZMe- 
gid'do, when he had seen him. 

30 And his servants carried him in a char- 
iot dead from Ale-gid'do, and brought him to 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and buried him in his own sep- 
ulchre. And the people of the land took Je- 
ho'a-haz the son of Jo-si'ah, and anointed him, 
and made him king in his father's stead. 

31 r Je-ho'a-haz was twenty and three years 
old when he began to reign; and he reigned 
three months in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his moth- 
er's name was Ha-mu'tal, the daughter of 
Jer-e-mi'ah of Lib'nah. 

32 And he did that which was 7, evil in the 
sight of the Lord, according to all that his 
fathers had done. 

33 And Pha'raoh-ne'choh put him in bands 
at Riblah in the land of Ha'math, that he 
might not reign in Je-ru'sa-lem; and put the 
land to a tribute of an -'hundred talents of sil- 
ver, and a "talent of gold. 

34 And Pha'raoh-ne'choh made E-li'a-kim 
the son of Jo-si'ah king in the room of Jo-si'ah 
his father, and turned his name to Je-hoi'a- 
kim, and took Je-ho'a-haz away: and he came 
to E'gypt, and died there. 

35 And Je-hoi'a-kim gave the silver and the 
gold to Pha'raoh; but he taxed the land to 
give the money according to the commandment 
of Pha'ra5h: he 'exacted the silver and the

36 r Je-hoi'a-kim was twenty and five years 
old when he began to reign; and he reigned 
eleven years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's 
name was Ze-bu'dah, the daughter of Pe-da'iah 
of Ru'mah. 

37 And he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the s Lord, according to all that his 
fathers had done. 

CHAPTER 24. 

1 Jehoiakim, first subdued by Nebuchadnezzar, 
then rebelling against him, procureth his 
own ruin. 5 Jehoiachin succeedeth him. 10 
Jerusalem is taken and carried captive into 
Babylon. 17 Zedekiah is made king, and 
reigneth ill unto the utter destruction of 

■ Judah. 

1 In fl his days Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king of 
Baby-Ion came up, and Je-hoi'a-kim became 
his servant three years: then he turned and 
rebelled against him. 

2 And the "Lord 6 sent 1 against him bands of 
the Chal'dees, and bands of the Syr'i-ans, and 
bands of the Alo'ab-ites, and bands of the chil- 
dren of Am'mon, and sent them against Ju'dah 
to destroy it, according to the word of the 
: Lord, which he spake by his servants the 
prophets. 

3 Surely at the commandment of the 2 Lord 
came this upon Ju'dah, to remove them out of 
his sight, for the sins of Ma-nas'seh, according 
to all that he did; 

4 And f also for the innocent blood that he 
shed: for he filled Je-ru'sa-lem with innocent 
blood; which the "Lord <*would not pardon. 

5 r Now the rest of the acts of Je-hoi'a-kim. 
and all that he did, are they not written in the 
book of the chronicles of the kings of Ju'dah? 

6 So Je-hoi'a-kim slept with his fathers : 
and Je-hoi'a-ehin his son reigned in his stead. 

7 And the king of E'gypt came not again 
any more out of his land: for the kiiig of 
Baby-Ion had taken from the river of E'gypt 
unto the river _Eu-phra'tes all that pertained 
to the king of E'gypt. 

8 r 3 Je-hoi'a-chin was eighteen years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned in Je- 
ru'sa-lem three months. And his mother's 
name was Ne-hush'ta, the daughter of El'na- 
than of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9 And he did that which c was evil in the 
sight of the : Lord, according to all that his 
father had done. 

10 r At that time the servants of Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar king of Baby-Ion came up against 
Je-ru'sa-lem. and the city was besieged. 

11 And Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king of Bab'y- 
lon came against the city, and his servants did 
besiege it. 

12 And Je-hoi'a-chin the king of Ju'dah 
went out to the king of Bab'y-lon, he, and his 
mother, and his servants, and his princes, and 
his officers: and the king of Bab'y-lon took him 
in the eighth year of his reign. 

13 And he ''carried out thence all the treas- 
ures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures 



2. And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy 
supplication, that thou hast made before me: 1 have hallowed this 
house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine 
eves and mine heart shall be there perpetually. (I Ks. 9:3.) 

h. See i, ch. 15. II Ks. 

i. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; but it is over- 
thrown by the mouth of the wicked. (Prov. 11:11.) In the house of 
the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is 
trouble. 'Prov. 15:6.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the 
quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within 
your cities. I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be de- 
livered into the hand of the enemy. (Lev. 26:25.) In the third year of 
the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. (Dan. 1:1.) 



b. Behold. I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans_ 
and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shali 
take it. (Jer. 32:28.) Then the nation set against him on every side 
from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in 
their pit. (Ezek. 19:8.) 

c. Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he 
had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin where- 
with he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight 
of the Lord. (II Ks. 21:16.) 

d. Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could 
not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go 
forth. (Jer. 15:1.) We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast 
not pardoned. (Lam. 3:42.) 

e. See i, ch. 15, II Ks. 

f. Behold, the day is come, that all that is in thine house, and that 
which thy fathers have laid up in store until this dav. shall be carried

of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the 
vessels of gold which S61'o-mon king of Is'ra-el 
had made in the temple of the 'Lord, as the 
"Lord had said. 

14 And he carried away all Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
all the princes, and all the mignty men of 
valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the 
craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save 
the poorest sort of the people of the land. 

15 And he carried away Je-hoi'a-chin to 
Bab'y-lon, and the king's mother, and the king's 
wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the 
land, those carried he into captivity from Je- 
ru'sa-lem to Bab'y-lon. 

16 And all the men of might, even seven 
thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thou- 
sand, all that were strong and apt for war, 
even them the king of Bab'y-lon brought cap- 
tives to Bab'y-lon. 

17 *~ And the king of Bab'y-lon made Mat- 
ta-ni'ah his father's brother king in his stead, 
and changed his name to Zed-e-ki'ah. 

18 Zed-e-ki'ah was twenty and one years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven 
years in Je'ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name 
was Ha-mu'tal, the daughter of Jer-e-mi'ah of 
Lib'nah. 

19 And he did that which c was evil in the 
sight of the Lord, according to all that Je-hoi'- 
a-kim had done. 

20 For through the anger of the "Lord it 
came to pass in Je-ru'sa-lem and Ju'dah, until 
he had cast them out from his presence, that 
Zed-e-ki'ah rebelled against the king of Bab'y- 
lon. 

CHAPTER 25. 
1 Jerusalem is besieged. 4 Zedekiah taken, his 
sons slain, his eyes put out. 8 Nebuzar-adan 
defaceth the city, carrieth the remnant into 
captivity, 13 spoileth and carrieth away the 
treasures. 18 The nobles are slain at Riblah. 
22 Gedaliah being slain, the rest flee into 
Egypt. 

1 And it came to pass "in the ninth year of 
his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day 
of the month, that Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king of 
Bab'y-lon came, he, and all his host, against 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and pitched against it; and they 
built forts against it round about. 

2 And the city was besieged unto the elev- 
enth year of king Zed-e-ki'ah. 

3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month 
the famine prevailed in the city, and there was 
no bread for the people of the land. 

4 V And the city was broken up, and all the 
men of war fled by night by the way of the 
gate between two walls, which is by the king's 
garden: (now the Chal'dees were against the 
city round about:) and the king went the way 
toward the plain. 

5 And the army of the Chal'dees pursued 
after the king, and overtook him in the plains 
of Jer'i-cho: and all his army were scattered 
from him. 

6 So they took the king, and brought him up 
to the king of Bab'y-lon to Rib'lah; and they 
gave judgment upon him. 

7 And they 'slew the sons of Zed-e-ki'ah be- 
fore his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zed-e- 
ki'ah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and 
carried him to Bab'y-lon.

came Neb'u-zar-a'dan, captain of the guard, a 
servant of the king of Bab'y-lon, unto Je-ru'- 
sa-lem : 

9 And he burnt the house of the 3 Lord, h and 
the king's house, and all the houses of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and every great man's house burnt he 
with fire. 

10 And all the army of the Chal'dees. that 
were with the captain of the guard, brake down 
the walls of Je-ru'sa-lem round about. 

11 Now the -rest of the people that were left 
in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to 
the king of Bab'y-lon, with the remnant of the 
multitude, did Neb'u-zar-a'dan the captain of 
the guard carry away. 

12 But the captain of the guard left of the 
poor of the land to be vinedressers and hus- 
bandmen. 

13 And the pillars of c brass that were in the 
house of the 3 Lord, and the bases, and the 
brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, 
did the Chal'dee§ break in pieces, and carried 
the brass of them to Bab'y-lon. 

14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the 
snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of 
brass wherewith they ministered, took they 
away. 

15 And the firepans, and the bowls, and such 
tilings as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, 
in silver, the captain of the guard took away. 

16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases 
which Sol'o-mon had made for the house of the 
Lord ; the brass of all these vessels was without 
weight. 

17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen 
cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and 
the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the 
wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the 
chapiter round about, all of brass: and like 
unto these had the second pillar with wreathen 
work. 

18 11 And the captain of the guard took Ser- 
a-i'ah the chief priest, and Zeph-a-ni'ah the 
second priest, and the three keepers of the 
door : 

19 And out of the city he took an officer that 
was set over the men of war, and five men of 
them that were in the king's presence, which 
were found in the city, and the principal scribe 
of the host, which mustered the people of the 
land, and threescore men of the people of the 
land that were found in the city: 

20 And Neb'u-zar-a'dan captain of the guard 
took these, and brought them to the king of 
Bab'y-lon tc Rib'lah : 

21 And the king of Bab'y-lon smote them, 
and "slew them at Rib'lah in the land of Ha'- 
math. ^So Ju'dah was carried away out of 
their land. 

22 If 5 And as for the people that remained in 
the land of Ju'dah, whom Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
king of Bab'y-lon had left, even over them he 
made Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam, the son 
of Sha'phan, ruler. 

23 And when all the captains of the armies, 
they and their men,_ heard that the king of 
Bab'y-lon had made Ged-a-li'ah governor, there 
came to Ged-a-li'ah to Miz'pah, even Ish'rna-el 
the son of Neth-a-ni'ah, and Jo-ha'nan the son 
of Ca-re'ah, and Ser-a-i'ah the son of Tan'hu- 
meth the Ne-toph'a-thite, and Ja-az-a-ni'ah the 
son of a Ma-ach'a-thite, they and their men. 

24 And Ged-a-li'ah sware to them, and to 
their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be 
the servants of the Chal'dees: dwell in the land,

Je-hoi'a-chin king of Ju dah out of prison; 

28 And he spake kindly to him, and set his 
throne above the tin-one of the c kings that 
were with him in Bab'y-lon; 

29 And changed his prison garments: and 
he did eat bread continually before him all the 
days of his life.

ance given him of the king, a daily rate for

kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he 
put down. (Dan. 5:1S, 19.) 



THE FIRST BOOK OF THE 

CHRONICLES 



NOTE. — The Book of Chronicles immediately follows First and Second Kings because it continues the history cf those books. It is evident that the 
two Books of Chr. were written as one and have been divided only for convenience, like the modern method of dividing books into volumes. The name 
Chronicles means in Hebrew. "Annals," or "Records of" (lit. the acts of the day). The period covered by Chr. extends from Adam to the restoration of 
the Jews under Cyrus. In Chr. are found many parallel accounts of portions of Samuel and Kings, viz., the entire active life of Samuel, also Saul, except 
the close; David's lament for Saul and Jonathan, his conflicts with Ishbosueth; the story of Uriah and Bathsheba; the story of Amnon and Tumar; Absa- 
lom's flight, recall, rebellion, and David's exile; ISth Psalm; most of Solomon's life; the history of the northern kingdoms. It also should be remembered 
that Chr. condenses many statements, therefore exact precision is sometimes lacking. The parts of Chr. which have no parallels in Samuel and Kings 
are mostly moral reflections and exclamations of calamities as divine judgments. Throughout Chr. the author stamps himself as a man of unusual sin- 
cerity and moral earnestness. By his method of reasoning, falsehood, infidelity and deception are impossibilities. He was versed in the law and knew 
Its religious powers. Jehovah was near his people in the administration of the law, Jehovah himself enforcing it. To be a member of God's people was to 
him a great privilege, and genealogies that assured such membership were of great importance. 

These feelings, convictions and inheritances determined his method of writing history. With him, obedience to God and devotion to Jehovah was a 
passion. His belief in God. actively governing the world, was intense. In all things he saw the good rewarded and the evil punished. He conceived 
Jehovah as constantly demanding obedience and worship but always long-suffering and plenteous in mercy to his people. In his thought, obedience in any degree was 
an avenue to God. He believed the law to be a means of spiritual growth and exemplified it; thus in Chr. we are taught how God can use historical 
writings to enforce his truth. The author's heart was aflame with such intense religious zeal that in his delineation of character, he desired only to 
remember their devotion to Jehovah. David and Solomon are his ideal kings. The ( purpose of the author seems to have been to furnish his people, as returned 
exiles, with a synopsis of their history from the creation of man to the time of his writing, and to point out to them how Jehovah blessed and prospered 
the people when the kings put their trust in him and endeavored to maintain his worship in purity, also how Jehovah visited with misfortunes and disasters 
those who forsook his laws and countenanced idolatry. He illustrates his principle by making especially conspicuous the fact that the ruin of the temple 
and the kingdom followed directly upon the succession of three wicked kings — viz., Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. Such being his purpose, the author 
may have omitted many things which preceding historians of his nation had furnished and may luive given more prominence to other points upon which he 
felt his people needed special instructions. Such authorities as Eickhorn, Havernick, Kcil and Furst. with many more modern ones, believe Ezra to have 
been the author of Chr.

NOTE.— The first nine chs. of Chr. 
are called the record of genealogists. 
To the reader this portion may be 
uninteresting, but it should be re- 
membered that to the returned exiles 
it was of the greatest importance. 

In Ezra 2:61-63, certain "children 
of the priests" were unable to find a 
record of their genealogy; hence, 
as polluted, were put from the priest- 
hood and not allowed to eat of the 
holy things. Again the inheritance 
of the land depended on one's ability 
to show his family in Israel and thus 
prove his title to the heritage of his 
fathers. In the first ch. are the 
genealogies from Adam to Israel. 
The other nations might boast of 
their antiquity, the Hebrew nation 
alone could uninterruptedly trace its 
origin back to the creation of man.

in the land of E'dom before any king reigned 
over the children of Is'ra-el; Be'la the son of 
Be'or: and the name of his citv was Din'ha- 
bah. 

44 And when Be'la was dead, JS'bab the son 
of Ze'rah of Boz'rah reigned in his stead. 

45 And when Jo'bab was dead, Hu'sham of 
the land of the Te'man-Ites reigned in his stead.

a. And Adam kuew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called 
his name Seth; for God, said she, hath appointed me another seed 
instead of Abel, whom Cain slew (25). And to Seth, to him also there 
was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call 
upon the name of the Lord. (Gen. 4:25, 26.) And Adam lived an hun- 
dred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his 
image; and called his name Seth. (Gen. 5:3.) 



b. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy 
name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 
(Gen. 17:5.) 

c. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, 
at the set time of which God had spoken to him (2). And Abraham 
called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare 
to him, Isaac. (Gen. 21:2, 3.)

XOTE. — In ch. 1 the author named 
the pre-Israelitish generations, which 
leads him in this eh. to the develop- 
ment of his main object, i. e.. the 
generations of Israel. First, he 
names the 12 patriarchs: then, as 
the anther's purpose is to give the 
sacred history of the house of David 
who was the "lion" of the tribe of 
Judah. he branches off from the 12 
patriarchs and gives the families of 
the tribe of Judah — they were of 
deepest interest to a Jew filled with 
Messianic hone, returned from the 
Babylonish exile. 



gail. And the sons of Zer-u-i'ah; A-bish'a-I, 
and Jo'ab, and A'sa-hel, three. 

17 And_ Ab'i-gail bare Am'a-sa: and the 
father of Am'a-sa was Je'ther the Ish'me-el-ite. 

18 If And Caleb the son of Hez'ron begat 
children of A-zu'bah his wife, and of Je'ri-oth : 
her sons are these; Je'sher, and Sho'bab, and 
Ar'don. 

19 And when A-zu'bah was dead, Caleb took 
unto him Eph'rath, which bare_him Hur. 

20 And Hur begat U'ri, and TJ'ri begat e Be- 
zal'e-el. 

21 r And afterward Hez'ron went in to the 
daughter of Jla'chir the father of Gil'e-ad, 
whom he married when he was threescore 
years old; and she bare him Se'gub. 

22 And Se'gub begat Ja'ir, who had three 
and twenty cities in the land of_Gil'e-ad. 

23 And he took Ge'shur, and A'ram, with the 
towns of Ja'ir, from them, with Ke'nath, and 
the towns thereof, even threescore cities. All 
these belonged to the sons of Ma'chir the 
father of Gil'e-ad. 

24 And after that Hez'ron was dead in Ca'- 
leb-eph'ra-tah, then A-bi'ah Hez'ron's wife bare 
him Ashur the father of Te-ko'a. 

25 U And the sons of Je-rah'me-el the first- 
born of Hez'ron were, Ram the firstborn, and 
Bu'nah, and O'ren, and o'zem, and A-hi'jah. 

26 Je-rah'me-el had also another wife, whose 
name was At'a-rah; she was the mother of 
O'nam. 

27 And the sons of Ram the firstborn of Je- 
rah'me-el were, Ma'az, and Ja'min, and E'ker. 

28 And the sons of O'nam were, Sham'ma-i, 
and Ja'da. And the sons of Sham'ma-i; Na,'- 
dab and Abl-shur. 

29 And the name of the wife of Ab'i-shur 
was Ab-i-ha'il, and she bare him Ah 'ban, and

32 And the sons of Ja'da the brother of 
Sham'ma-i; Je'ther, and Jon'a-than: and Je'- 
ther died without children. 

-33 And the sons of Jon'a-than; Peleth, and 
Za'za. These were the sons of Je-rah'me-el. 

34 If Now She'shan had no sons, but daugh- 
ters. And She'shan had a servant, an E-gyp'- 
tian, whose name was Jar'ha. 

35 And She'shan gave his daughter to Jar'-

ing to their families, after their places, by their names: duke Tinman, 
duke Alvah, duke Jetheth. (Gen. 36:40.) Then the dukes of Edom 
shall be amazed: the mighty men of Moab, trembling, shall take hold 
upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. (Ex. 15:15.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And Leah conceived, and hare a son, and she called his name 
Reuben: for she said. Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction: 
now therefore my husband will love me. (Gen. 29:32.) And it came to 
pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his 
name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. (Gen. 35:18.) 

b. And she conceived, and bare a son: and he called his name 
Er. (Gen. 38:3.) The sons of Judah were Er and Onan: and Er and 
Onan died in the land of Canaan. (Num. 26:19.) 

c. And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold. 
his brother came out: and she said. How hast thou broken forth? this 
breach rje upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez (29). And 
afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his 
hand: and his name was called Zarah. (Gen. 38:29, 30.) 



d. But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed 
thing; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, 
of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the 
Lord was kindled against the children of Israel. (Josh. 7:1.) 

e. See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of 
Hur, of the tribe of Judah. (Ex. 31:2.) And Moses said unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the son of 
Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah (30); And he hath filled 
him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowl- 
edge, and in all manner of workmanship (31); And to devise curious 
works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass (32), And in the 
cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any 
manner of cunning work. (Ex. 35:30-33.) Then wrought Bezaleel and 
Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the Lord put wisdom 
and understanding' to know how to work all manner of work for the 
service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had com- 
manded. (Ex. 36:1.)

1 The sons of David. 10 His line to Zedekiah. 

17 The successors of Jeconiah. 

1 *Now these were the sons of Da'vid, which 
were born unto him in He'bron; the firstborn 
Am'non, of A-hin'o-am the Jez're-el-it-ess; the 
second Dan'iel, of Ab'i-gail the Car'mel-it-ess :

9 These were all the sons of Da'vid, beside 
the sons of the concubines, and Ta'mar their 
sister. 



Ch. 3. B. C. 1053-563. 



1. NOTE. — Ch. 3 is devoted large- 
ly to the generations of David. In 
this oh. certain critics claim founda- 
tion for their belief regarding the date 
of Chr., since the descendants of Da- 
vid, in vs. 19-24, seem to bring the 
genealogy down as late as Alexander, 
which is a later day than that at 
which the Old Testament canon is 
supposed to have been written. How- 
ever, some later editors may have 
added the names which have caused 
a dispute. Theu, too, a few names 
as a fragment is not sufficient to set- 
tle the question of the date of the 
writing of a book. 



2. Vs. 10-16, record of Davids 
descendants to Zedekiah, which rec- 
ord brings the line down to the cap- 
tivity, through a constant succession 
of good and bad influences. Though 
it has rarely happened that a crown 
was transmitted from father to son 
for 17 reigns, yet such was the case 
here — it was the promised reward of 
David's piety. 



Ch. 4. B, C. 1727-1700. 



1. NOTE. — In this ch. are record- 
ed the fragments of certain Jewish 
families which the writer seems to 
have added as a supplement to the 
previous list. 



2. Vs. 1-8 give a record of the 
house of Judah by Caleb, which seems 
to have been introduced for the pur- 
pose of presenting the name of Sho- 
bal, whose generations were named in 
Ch. 2:52. 



3. Vs. 9-20 treat of Jabez and his 
prayer. Jabez is here especially men- 
tioned because of his sincere piety, 
as well as his public works. The 
prayer here recorded is in the form 
of a vow similar to Jacob's. (Gen. 
2S:20. 21)— "And Jacob vowed a 
vow saying. If God will be with me 
and wiil keep me in this way that I 
go and will give me bread to eat and 
raiment to put on. so that I come 
again to my Father's house in peace, 
then shall the Lord be my God." Ja- 
bez's enterprise here was probably 
the expulsion of the Canaanites from 
the territory arouud him. See v. 10.

which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of 
Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to 
see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because lie was sick. (II Chr. 
22:6.) And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried 
away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his 
sons also, and his wife; so that there was never a son left him, save 
Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. (II Chr. 21:17.) 



b. Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the 
priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and 
builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, 
as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. (Ezra 3:2.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold,

had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honorable than

for ever: the righteous shall be an everlasting remembrance. (Ps. 112:6.)

asmuch as he Mefiled his father's bed, c his

the son of Is'ra-el: and the genealogy is not to

d. He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders 
thereof, from the tower of the watchman to the fenced city. (II Ks. 18:8.) 

e. And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly 
destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. (I Sam. 15:8.) Of 
Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philis- 
tines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob king 
of Zobah. (II Sam. 8:12.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name 
Reuben: for she said. Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; 
now therefore my husband will love me. (Gen. 29:32.) These are the 
sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, and Zebu- 
lun. (I Chr. 2:1.) 

b. And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the 
city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

c. And be blessed Joseph, and said, God. before whom my fathers 
Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long 
unto this day (15), The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless 
the lads: and let my name be named on them, and the name of my 
fathers Abraham and Isaac: and let them grow into a multitude in the 
midst of the earth (18). And when Joseph saw that his father laid his 



right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held 
up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's 
head (17). And Joseph said unto his father, Xot so, my father: for 
this is the first-born; put thy right hand upon his head (18). And his 
father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall 
become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger 
brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multi- 
tude of nations (19). And he blessed them that day, saying. In thee 
shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: 
and he set Ephraim before Manasseh (20). And Israel said unto Joseph, 
Behold. I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the 
land of your fathers (21). Moreover I have given to thee one portion 
above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with 
my sword and with my bow. (Gen. 4S:15-22.) 

d. Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand 
shall be in the neck of thine enemies: thy father's children shall bow 
down before thee (S). Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my 
son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and 
as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? (9). The sceptre shall not 
depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh 
come: and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Gen 
49:8-10.) Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine: Ephraim also is the 
strength of mine head: Judah is my lawgiver. (Ps. 60:7.)

phrates: because their cattle were multiplied 
in the land of Gil'e-ad.

four and forty thousand seven hundred and 
threescore, that went out to the war.

with Je'tur, and Ne'phish, and No'dab. 

20 And they were helped against them, and 
the Ha'gar-ites were delivered into their hand, 
and all that were with them : for they cried to 
God in the battle, and he was intreated of 
them; because they fput their trust in him. 

21 And they took away their cattle; of their 
camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hun- 
dred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thou- 
sand, and of men an hundred thousand. 

22 For there fell down many slain, because 
the war was of God. And they dwelt in their 
steads until the captivity.

gods of the people of the land, whom God 
destroyed before them.

spirit of Pul king of As-syr'i-a, and the spirit 
of Til'gath-pil-ne'§er king of As-syr'i-a, and 
he carried them away, even the Reu'ben-ites,

Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall 
come a governor, that shall rule my people Israel. (Mat. 2:6.) 

f. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver 
them (4). They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in 
thee, and were not confounded. (Ps. 22:4, 5.) He trusted 'n the Lord 
God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings 
of Judah, nor any that were before him. (II Ks. 18:5.) It is better to 
trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man (8). It is better to trust 
in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. (Ps. 118:8, 9.) 

g. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked; thou art waxen fat, thou 
art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God 
which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 
(Dt. 32:15.) 

h. And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, 
and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I 



will do you no hurt. (Jer. 25:6.) Therefore say unto the house of 
Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Repent, and turn yourselves from your 
idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. (Ezek. 14:6.) 
Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every n an the abominations of

fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is 
the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord. (I Ks. 
6:1.) Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem 
in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in

55 And they gave them He'bron in the land 
of Ju'dah, and the suburbs thereof round 
about it. 

56 But the fields of the city, and the vil- 
lages thereof, they gave to Caleb the son of 
Je-phun'neh. 

57 And to the sons of Aar'on they gave the

which are called by their names. 

66 And the residue of the families of the 
sons of Ko'hath had cities of their coasts out 
of the tribe of E'phra-im.

. c. So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the 
tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and 
peace offerings before God. (I Chr. 16:1.) And they brought in the ark 
of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that 
David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace 
offerings before the Lord. (II Sam. 6:17.) And they brought up the ark 
of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy 
vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the 
Levites bring up. (I Ks. 8:4.) 

d. Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two 
lambs of the first year day by day continually. (Ex. 29:38.) But his 
inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn 
all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a 
sweet savor unto the Lord. CLev. 1:9.) And thou shalt appoint Aaron 
and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the 
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. (Num. 3:10.) For 



every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things 
pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 
(Heb. 5:1.) 

e. For the law of burnt offerings see ch. 1, Lev. 

f. See e, ch. 6, Num. 

g. And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their 
inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their 
suburbs (3). All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the 
children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs (4). 
These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus 
were all these cities. (Josh. 21:3, 41, 42.) Command the children of 
Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their pos- 
session cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites sub- 
urbs for the cities round about them (2). And the cities shall they have 
to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for 
their goods, and for all their beasts. (Num. 35:2, 3.)

cause they came down to take away their 
cattle. 

22 And E'phra-im their father mourned 
6 many days, and his brethren came to comfort 
him. 

23 IT And when he went in to his wife, she 
conceived, and bare a son, and he called his 
name Be-ri'ah, because it went evil with his 
house.

ward Na'a-ran, and westward Ge'zer, with the 
towns thereof; She'chem also and the towns 
thereof, unto Ga'za and the towns thereof: 



h. Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: 
behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Hesh- 
bon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battlS. 
(Dt. 2:24.) Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and 
didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and 
the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. 
(N'eh. 9:22.) Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fish- 
pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower 
of Lebanon, which looketh toward Damascus. (Songs 7:4.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, 
and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah 
(1). For the king said to Joab, the captain of the host, which was with 
him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer- 
sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the 
people. (II Sam. 24:1, 2.) And Satan stood up against Israel, and pro- 
voked David to number Israel (1). And David said to Joab and to 



the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to 
Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it (2). 
And Joab answered, The Lord make his people an hundred times so 
many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are not all my lord's 
servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be 
a cause of trespass to Israel? (3). Nevertheless the kings were pre- 
vailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout 
all Israel, and came to Jerusalem (4). And Joab gave the sum of the 
number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thou- 
sand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and 
Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew 
sword. (I Chr. 21:1-5.) 

b. Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was 
come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Bliphaz the 
Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they 
had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to 
comfort him. (Job 2:11.) And many of the Jews came to Martha and 
Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. (Jno. 11:19.)

Keil says that the record here given

because it was taken from another 
genealogical doctrine; but Rawlinson 
suggests that it was because the his-

1. NOTE. — In this ch. are given 
the original registers of Israel's and 
Judah's genealogies. In giving the 
list of the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
(vs. 2-17) there is a strong resem- 
blance to the record of the 11th ch. of 
Neh. The two lists are identical in 
plan and contain many of the same 
names, but otherwise they differ 
much. The difference may readily be 
accounted for. for in this ch. the list 
is a register of the first inhabitants 
who settled Jerusalem immediately 
after the exile, while that of Neh. 
belongs to a later date or to the time 
of the writer himself.

and the Levites, tvith Nethinims, ivhich dwelt 
in Jerusalem. 35 The stock of Saul and

book of the kings of Is'ra-el and Ju'dah who 
were "carried away to Bab'y-lon for their 
transgression.

their possessions in their cities were, the 2 Is'-

Chapter 8. 

a. And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out 
of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare 
shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand; all these 
were mighty men of valor. (II Chr. 14:8.) And Uzziah prepared for 
them throughout all the hosts shields, and spears, and helmets, and 
habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones. (II Chr. 26:14.) There- 
fore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, 
I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, 
and their bows. (Neh. 4:13.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host 
of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and 



bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. (II Chr. 33:11.) 
Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew 
their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and 
had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that 
stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand (17). And all the 
vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the 
house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; 
all these he brought to Babylon (18). And they burnt the house of God, 
and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces there- 
of with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof (19). And 
them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; 
where they were servants to him and his sous until the reign of the 
kngdom of Persia. (II Chr. 36:17-20.)

24 In four quarters were the porters, to- 
ward the east, west, north, and south. 

25 And their brethren, which were in their 
villages, were to come after seven days from 
time to time with them. 

26 For these Le'vites, the four chief porters, 
were in their set office, and were over the 
chambers and treasuries of the house of God. 

27 11 And they lodged round about the house 
of God, because the charge was upon them, 
and the opening thereof every morning per- 
tained to them. 

28 And certain of them had the charge of 
the "ministering vessels, that they should bring 
them in and out by 7 tale. 

29 Some of them also were appointed to 
oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of 
the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, 
and the oil, and the frankincense, and the 
spices. 

30 And some of the sons of the priests made

who was the firstborn of Shal'lum the Ko'rah-

made in the pans.

kings. (II Ks. 11:19.) 

d. Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath 
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous 
for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in 
my jealousy. (Num. 25:11.) And Moses sent them to the war, a thou- 
sand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, 
to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his 
hand. (Num. 31:6.) Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: 
and so the plague was stayed. (Ps. 106:30.)

not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread

from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. (Jno. 6:32, 33.)

ra-el; and the men of Is'ra-el fled from before 
the Phi-lis'tines, and fell down slain in mount 
Gil-bo'a. 

2 And the Phi-lis'tines followed hard after 
Saul, and after his sons; and the Phi-lis'tines 
slew Jon'a-than, and A-bin'a-dab, and Mal- 
chi-shu'a, the sons of Saul. 

3 And the battle went sore against Saul, 
and the archers hit him, and he was wounded 
of the archers. 

4 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw 
thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; 
lest these uneircumcised come and abuse me. 
But his armourbearer would not; for he was 
sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell 
upon it. 

5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul 
was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and 
died. 

6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and 2 all 
his hous*e died together. 

7 And w^hen all the men of is'ra-el that were 
in the valley saw 7 that they fled, and that Saul 
and his sons were dead, then they forsook their 
cities, and fled: and the Phi-lis'tines came and 
dwelt in them. 

8 1 And it came to pass on the morrow, when 
the Phi-lis'tines came to strip the slain, that 
they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount 
Gil-bo'a. 

9 And when they had stripped him, they 
took his head, and his armour, and sent into 
the land of the Phi-lis'tines round about, to 
carry tidings unto their idols, and to the 
people. 

10 And 6 they put his armour in the house 
of their gods, and fastened his head in the 
3 temple of Da'gSn. 

11 I And when all Ja'besh-gil'e-ad heard all 
that the Phi-lis'tines had done to Saul, 

12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took 
away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his 
sons, and brought them to Ja'besh. and buried 
their bones under the oak in Ja'besh, and 
fasted seven days. 

13 r So Saul 4 died for his transgression 
which he committed against the Lord, c even 
against the word of the Lord, which he kept 
not, and also for asking counsel of one that 
had a ^familiar spirit, e to enquire of it; 

14 And 'enquired ^not of the 5 Lord: there-

Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out 
and broughtest in Is'ra-el: and the Lord thy 
God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people 
Is'ra-el, and thou shalt be ruler over my peo- 
ple Is'ra-el. 

3 Therefore came all the elders of Is'ra-el to 
the king to He'bron; and Da'vid made a cove- 
nant with them in He'bron before the Lord; 
and they anointed Da'vid king over Is'ra-el, 
according to the word of the Lord by Sam'u-el. 

4 "pAnd Da'vid and all Is'ra-el went to Je- 
ru'sa-lem, which is Je'bus; where the Jeb'u- 
sites were, the inhabitants of the land. 

5 And the inhabitants of Je'bus said to Da'- 
vid, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless 
Da'vid took the castle of Zi'on, which is the 
city of Da'vid. 

6 And Da'vid said, Whosoever smiteth the 
"Jeb'u-sites first shall be chief and captain. So 
Jo'ab the son of Zer-u-I'ah went first up, and 
was chief. 

7 And Da'vid dwelt in the castle; therefore 
they called it the city of Da'vid. 

8 And he built the city round about, even 
from Mil'lo round about: and Jo'ab repaired 
the rest of the city. 

9 So Da'vid waxed greater and greater: for 
the Lord of hosts was with him. 

10 ""I These also are the chief of the mighty 
men - whom Da'vid had, who strengthened 
themselves with him in his kingdom, and with 
all Is'ra-el, to make him king, according to the 
word of the Lord concerning Is'ra-el. 

11 And this is the number of the mighty men 
whom Da'vid had; Ja-sh5'be-am, an Hach'mo- 
nite, the chief of the captains : he lifted up his 
spear against three hundred slain by him at 
one time. 

12 And after him was E-le-a'zar the son of 
Do'do, the A-ho'hite, who was one of the three 
mighties. 

13 He was with Da'vid at Pas-dam 'mim, and 
there the Phi-lis'tines were gathered together 
to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of 
barley; and the people fled from before the 
Phi-lis'tine§. 

14 And they set themselves in the midst of 
that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Phi- 
lis'tines; and the Lord saved them by a great 
^deliverance. 

15 H Now three of the thirty captains went 
down to the rock to Da'vid, into the cave of 
A-dul'lam; and the host of the Phi-lis'tines en- 
camped in the valley of Reph'a-im. 

16 And Da'vid was then in the hold, and the 
Phi-lis'tines' garrison was then at Beth'-le- 
hem. 

17 And Da'vid longed, and said, Oh that one 
w T oulcl give me drink of the water of the well 
of Beth'le-hem, that is at the gate! 

18 And the three brake through the host of 
the Phi-lis'tines, and drew water out of the 
well of Beth'-le-hem, that was by the gate, and 



b. And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they 
fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan. (I Sam. 31:10.) I have 
even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass 
I showed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, 
and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. 
(Is. 48:5.) 

c. And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast 
not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded 
thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel 
for ever. (I Sam. 13:13.) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, 
and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected 
the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. (I 
Sam. 15:23.) 

d. Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after 
wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:31.) 
And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and 
after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face 
against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people (6). A 
man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, 
shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their 
blood shall be upon them. (Lev. 20:6, 27.) When thou art come into 
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to 
do after the abominations of those nations (9). There shall not be 

I among you any one that rnaketh his son or his daughter to pass 
tijrcugh the Are, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or 



an enchanter, or a witch (10). Or a charmer, or a consulter with 
familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer (11). For all that do 
these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these 
abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 
(Dt. 18:9-12.) 

e. Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath 
a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his 
servants said to him. Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar 
spirit at Endor. (I Sam. 28:7.)

a. And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites 
that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of 
Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. (Jud. 1:21.) But the man would 
not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over 
against Jebus, which is Jerusalem: and there were with him two asses 
saddled; his concubine also was with him. (Jud. 19:10.) And the 
border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side 
of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the 
top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, 
which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward (8). As for 
the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah couli 
not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah 
at Jerusalem unto this day. (Josh. 15:8, 63.)

took it, and brought it to Da'vid: but David 
.would not drink of it, but poured it out to the 
Lord, 

19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I 
should do this thing: shall I drink the blood 
of these men that have put their lives in jeop- 
ardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they 
brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. 
These things did these three mightiest. 

20 U And A-bish'a-I the brother of Jo'ab, he 
was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear 
against three hundred, he slew them, and had 
a name among the three. 

21 Of the three, he was more honourable 
than the two; for he was their captain: how- 
beit he attained not to the first three. 

22 Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da, the son 
of a valiant man of Kab'ze-el, who had done 
many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Mo'ab: 
also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in 
a snowy day. 

23 And he slew an E-gyp'tian, a man of 
great stature, five cubits high; and in the 
E-gyp'tian's hand was a spear like a weaver's 
beam; and he went down to him with a staff, 
and plucked the spear out of the E-gyp'tian's 
hand, and slew him with his own spear. 

24 These things did Be-na'iah the son of Je- 
hoi'a-da, and had the name among the three 
mighties. 

25 Behold, he was honourable among the 
thirty, but attained not to the first three: and 
Da'vid set him over his guard. 

26 TfAlso the valiant men of the armies 
were, A'sa-hel the brother of Jo'ab, El-ha'nan 
the son of Dodo of Beth'-le-hem,

1 The companies that came to David at Ziklay. 
23 The armies that came to him at Hebron. 

1 'Now these are they that came to Da'vid 
to "Zik'lag, while he yet kept himself close be- 
cause of Saul the son of Kish : and they were 
among the mighty men, helpers of the war. 

2 They were armed with bows, and could use 
both the right hand and the left in hurling 
stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even 
of Saul's brethren of Ben'ja-min. 

3 The chief was A-hi-e'zer, then Jo'ash, the 
sons of She-ma'ah the Gib'e-ath-ite; and Je'- 
zi-el, and Pe'let, the sons of Az'ma-veth; and 
Ber'a-chah, and Je'hu the An'toth-Ite, 

4 And Is-ma-I'ah the Gib'e-on-Ite, a mighty 
man among the thirty, and over the thirty; 
and Jer-e-mi'ah, and Ja-ha'zi-el, and Jo-ha'nan, 
and J5s'a-bad the Ged'e-rath-Ite, 

5 E-lu'za-I, and Jer'i-moth, and Be-a-H'ah, 
and Shem-a-rl'ah, and Sheph-a-tl'ah the Har- 
u-phite, 

6 El'ka-nah, and Je-si'ah, and A-zar'e-el, 
and Jo-e'zer, and Ja-sho'be-am, the Kor'hites, 

7 And Jo-e'lah, and Zeb-a-di'ah, the sons of 
Jer'o-ham of Ge'dor. 

8 And of the Gad'Ites there separated them- 
selves unto Da'vid Mnto the hold to the wilder- 
ness men of might, and men of war fit for the 
battle, that could handle shield and buckler, 
whose c faces were like the faces of lions, and 
were as swift as the roes upon the mountains; 

9 E'zer the first, O-ba-di'ah the second, E-li'- 
ab the third, 

10 Mish-man'nah the fourth, Jer-e-mi'ah the 
fifth, _ 

11 At'tai the sixth, E-li'el the seventh, 

12 Jo-ha'nan the eighth, El'za-bad the ninth, 

13 Jer-e-mi'ah the tenth, Mach'ba-nai the 
eleventh. 

14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains 
of the host: one of the ^east was over an hun- 
dred, and the greatest over a thousand. 

15 These 3 are they that went over Jor'dan 
in the first 4 month, when it had overflown all 
his banks; and they put to flight all them of 
the valleys, both toward the east, and toward 
the west. 

16 And there came of the children of Ben'- 
ja-min and Ju'dah to the hold unto Da'vid. 

17 And Da'vid went out to meet them, and 
answered and said unto them, If ye be come 
peaceably unto me to help me. mine heart shall 
be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray 



the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky (26). Happy 
art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, 
the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and 
thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon 
their high places. (Dt. 33:26, 29.) Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: 
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. (Ps. 3:8.) Surely his salva- 
tion is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 
(Ps. 85:9.) The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety 
is of the Lord. (Prov. 21:31.) O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have 
waited for thee; be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also 
in the time of trouble (2). At the noise of the tumult the people fled; 
at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. (Is. 33:2, 3.) I, 
even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. (Is. 43:11.) 
Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multi- 
tude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. 
(Jer. 3:23.) Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and 
thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no saviour beside me. 
(Hos. 13:4.) 



Chapter 12. 

a. And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine 
eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I 
may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city 
with thee? (5). Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag 
pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. (I Sam. 27:5, 6.) 

b. And David abode in the wilderness and strong holds, and 
remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought 
him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand (14). And 
David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi. (I 
Sam. 23:14, 29.) 

c. And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a 
lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a 
mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men. (II Sam. 
7:10.) And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of 
Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lion-like men of Moab: 
he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

in mine hands, the God of our fathers look 
thereon, and d rebuke it. 

18 Then the spirit came upon A-mas'a-I, 
who was chief of the captains, and he said, 
Thine are we, Da'vid, and on thy side, thou 
son of Jes'se: peace, peace be unto thee, and 
peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth 
thee. Then Da'vid received them, and made 
them captains of the band. 

19 And there fell some of Ma-nas'seh to 
Da'vid, when he came with the Phi-lis'tines. 
against Saul to battle: but they helped them 
not: for the lords of the Phi-lis'tines upon ad- 
visement sent him away, saying, c He will fall 
to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our 
heads. 

20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him 
of Ma-nas'seh, Ad'nah, and Joz'a-bad, and Je- 
di'a-el, and Mi'chael, and Joz'a-bad, and E-li'- 
hu, and Zil'thai, captains of the thousands that 
were of Ma-nas'seh. 

21 And they helped Da'vid against ''the band 
of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of 
valour, and were captains in the host. 

22 For at that time day by day there came 
to Da'vid to help him, until it was a great 
host, like the host of God. 

23 1i 5 And these are the numbers of the 
bands that were ready armed to the war, and 
came to Da'vid to He'bron, to turn the kingdom 
of Saul to him, ^according to the word of the 
Lord. 

24 The children of Ju'dah that bare shield 
and spear were six thousand and eight hun- 
dred, ready armed to the war. 

25 Of the children of Sim'e-on, mighty men 
of valour for the war, seven thousand and one 
hundred. 

26 Of the .children of Levi four thousand 
and six hundred. 

27 And Je-hoi'a-da was the leader of the 
Aar'on-Ites, and with him were three thousand 
and seven hundred; 

28 And Za'dok, a young man mighty of 
valour, and of his father's house twenty and 
two captains. 

29 And of the children of Ben'ja-min, the 
kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto 
the greatest part of them had kept the ward 
of the house of Saul. 

30 And of the children of E'phra-im twenty 
thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of 
valour, famous throughout the house of their 
fathers. 

31 And of the half tribe of Ma-nas'seh 
eighteen thousand, which were expressed by 
name, to come and make Da'vid king. 

32 And of the children of ts'sa-char, which 
were men that had understanding of the times, 
to know what Is'ra-el ought to do; the heads 
of them were two hundred; and all their breth- 

• ren were at their commandment.

33 Of Zeb'u-lun, such as went forth to bat-

fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they 
were not of double heart. 

34 And of Naph'ta-ll a thousand captains, 
and with them with shield and spear thirty 
and seven thousand. 

35 And of the Dan'ites expert in war twenty 
and eight thousand and six hundred. 

36 And of Ash'er, such as went forth to 
battle, expert in war, forty thousand. 

37 And on the other side of Jor'dan, of the 
Reu'ben-ites, and the Gad'ites, and of the half 
tribe of Ma-nas'seh, with all manner of instru- 
ments of war for the battle, an hundred and 
twenty thousand. 

38 All these men of war, that could keep 
"rank, came with a perfect heart to He'bron, 
to make Da'vid king over all Is'ra-el: and all 
the rest of Is'ra-el were of one heart to make 
Da'vid king. 

39 And there they were with Da'vid three 
days, eating and drinking: for their brethren 
had prepared for them. 

40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even 
unto 7 Is'sa-char and Zeb'u-lun and Naph'ta-ll, 
brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on 
mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of 
figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, 
and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was 
joy in Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 David fetcheth the ark with great solemnity 
from Kirjath-jearim. 9 Uzza being smitten, 
the ark is left at the house of Obed-edom. 

1 'And Da'vid Consulted with the captains 
of thousands and hundreds, and with every 
leader. 

2 "And Da'vid said unto all the congregation 
of Is'ra-el, If it seem good unto you, and that 
it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad 
unto our brethren every where, that are left 
in all the land of Is'ra-el, and with them also 
to the priests and Le'vites which are in their 
cities and suburbs, that they may gather them- 
selves unto us: 

3 And let us bring again the ark of our 
God to us: for we enquired not at it in the 
days of Saul. 

4 And all the congregation said that they 
would do so: for the thing was right in the 
eyes of all the people. 

5 So Da'vid gathered all Is'ra-el together, 
from Shi'hor of E'gypt even unto the entering 
of He'math, to bring the ark of God from 
Kir'jath-je'a-rim. 

6 And Da'vid went up, and all Is'ra-el, to 
Ba'al-ah, that is, to Kir'jath-je'a-rim, which 
belonged to Ju'dah, to bring up thence the ark 
of God the Lord, that 6 dwelleth between the 
cherubim, whose name is called on it. 

7 And they carried the ark of God in a new

even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a 
brand plucked out of the fire? (Zech. 3:2.) 

e. And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the 
princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that 
he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let 
him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary 
to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should 
it not be with the heads of these men? (I Sam. 29:4.) 

f. And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to 
Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, 
and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire (1). And David 
inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I 
overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely 
overtake them, and without fail recover all (8). So David went, he 
and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook 
Besor, where those that were left behind stayed (9). But David pur- 
sued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which 
w r ere so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor. (I Sam. 
30:1, 8-10.) 

g. And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for 
Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine 
horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I 
have provided me a king among his sons (1). And Samuel said unto 
Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet 



the youngest, and behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto 
Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down until he come 
hither (11). And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, 
and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And 
the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he (12). Then Samuel 
took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: 
and the Spirit of the Lord came upon -David from that day forward. 
So Samuel rose up, and went to Raman. (I Sam. 16:1, 11-13.) 
Chapter 13. 

a. Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude 
of counsellors they are established. (Prov. 15:22.) 

b. So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between 
the cherubim: and" the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were 
there with the ark of the covenant of God. (I Sam. 4:4.) And thou 
shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make 
them, in the two ends of the mercy seat (18). And there I will meet 
with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, 
from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testi- 
mony, of all things which 1 will give thee in commandment unto the 
children of Israel. (Ex. 25:18, 22.) And when Moses was gone into the 
tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the 
voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon 
the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spake 
unto them. (Num. 7:S9.)

8 And Da'vid and all is'ra-el played before 
God with all their might, and with singing, and 
with harps, and with psalteries, and with tim- 
brels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 

9 r And when they came unto the threshing- 
floor of Chi'don, Uz'za put forth his hand to 
hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 

10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled 
against Uz'za, and he smote him, because he 
put his hand to the ark: and there he died 
before God. 

11 And Da'vid was displeased, because the 
Lord had made a breach upon Uz'za: where- 
fore that place is called Pe'rez-uz'za to this 
day. 

12 And Da'vid was afraid of God that day, 
saying, How shall I bring the ark of God 
home' to me? 

13 So Da'vid brought not the ark home to 
himself to the city of Da'vid, but carried it 
aside into the house of O'bed-e'dom the Git'- 
tlte. 

14 And the ark of God remained with the 
family of O'bed-e'dom in his house three 
months. And the Lord blessed the house of 
O'bed-e'dom, and all that he had.

1 'Now Hi'ram king of Tyre sent messengers 
to Da'vid, and timber of cedars, with masons 
and carpenters, to build him an house. 

2 And Da'vid perceived that the Lord had 
confirmed him king over is'ra-el, for his king- 
dom was lifted up on high, because of his 
people Is'ra-el. 

3 r "And Da'vid took more wives at Je-ru'- 
sa-lem: and Da'vid begat more sons and daugh- 
ters. 

4 Now these are the names of his children

themselves in the valley of Reph'a-im.

Shall I go up against the Phi-lis'tine§? And 
wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And 
the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will de-

fore they called the name of that place Ba'al- 
per'a-zim. 

12 And when they had left their gods there, 
Da'vid gave a commandment, and they were 
burned with fire. 

13 And the Phi-lis'tine§ yet again spread 
themselves abroad in the valley. 

14 Therefore Da'vid ^enquired again of God; 
and God said unto him, Go not up after them; 
turn away from them, c and come upon them 
over against the mulberry trees. 

15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a 
sound of going in' the tops of the mulberry 
trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: 
for God is gone forth before thee to smite the 
host of the Phi-lis'tine§. 

16 Da'vid therefore did as d God commanded 
him: and they smote the host of the Phi-lis'- 
tines;; from Gib'e-on even to Ga'zer. 

17 And the fame of Da'vid went out into all

25 He performeth the solemnity thereof with

1 \And Da'vid made him houses in the city 
of Da'vid, and prepared "a place for the ark 
of God, and pitched for it a tent. 

2 Then Da'vid said, 2 None ought to carry 
the ark of God but the Le'vites: for them hath 
the Lord chosen to carry the 6 ark of God, and 
to minister unto him for ever. 

3 And Da'vid °gathered all Is'ra-el together 
to Je-ru'sa-lem, to bring up the ark of the 
Lord unto his place, which he had prepared 
for it. 

4 And Da'vid assembled the children of 
Aar'on, and the Le'vites: 

5 Of the sons of Ko'hath; U'ri-el the chief, 
and his brethren an hundred and_twenty: 

6 Of the sons of Me-ra'ri; A-sa-i'ah the 
chief, and his brethren two hundred and

9 Of the sons of Hebron; E-lI'el the chief, 
and his brethren fourscore: 

10 Of the sons of Uz'zi-el; Am-min'a-dab the

U'ri-el, A-sa-i'ah, and J5'el, Shem-a-i'ah, and 
E-li'el, and Am-min'a-dab, 

12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of 
the fathers of the Le'vites: ^sanctify your- 
selves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may

Chapter 14. 

a. But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David 
king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David 
heard of it, and went down to the hold. (II Sam. 5:17.) 

b. See a, ch. 23, I Sam. 

c. And when David inquired of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not 
go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over 
against the mulberry trees. (II Sam. 5:23.) 

d. See e. ch. 13, I Sam. 

e. There shall no man he able to stand before you: for the Lord 
your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the 
land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. (Dt. 11:25.) 
I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom 
thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs 
unto thee. (Ex. 23:27.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God 
of Jacob (2) ; Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, 
nor go up into my bed (3), I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or 
slumber to mine eyelids (4), Until I find out a place for the Lord, an 
habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. (Ps. 132:2-5.) 

b. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to hear the 



ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister 
unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. (Dt. 10:8.) And 
Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, 
which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders 
of Israel. (Dt. 31:9.) And they commanded the people, saying, When 
ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests 
the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go 
after it. (Josh. 3:3.) 

c. Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads 
of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto 
king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion. (I Ks. 
8:1.) So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even 
unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath- 
jearim. (I Chr. 13:5.) 

d. And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to- 
morrow the Lord will do wonders among you. (Josh. 3:5.) And the 
Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today 
and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. (Ex. 19:10.) Sanctify 
yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God. 
(Lev. 20:7.) 

e. And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it

the fLord our God made a breach upon us, for 
that we sought him not after the due order. 

14 So the priests and the Le'vites sanctified 
themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord 
God of Is'ra-el. 

15 And the children of the Le'vites bare the 
ark of God upon their shoulders with the 
staves thereon, as ^Mo'ses commanded accord- 
ing to the word of the Lord. 

16 3 And David spake to the chief of the Le'- 
vites to appoint their brethren to be the singers 
with instruments of ''musick, psalteries and 
harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the 
voice with joy. 

17 So the Le'vites Appointed He 'man the 
son of Jo'el; and of his brethren, Asaph the 
son of Ber-e-chl'ah; and of the sons of Me- 
ra'ri their brethren, E'than the son of Kush- 
a'iah; 

18 And with them their brethren of the sec- 
ond degree, Zech-a-ri'ah, Ben, and Ja-a'zi-el, 
and She-mir'a-moth, and Je-hi'el, and Un'ni, 
E-li'ab, and Be-na'iah, and Ma-a-se'iah, and 
Mat-ti-thi'ah, and E-liph'e-leh, and Mik-ne iah, 
and O'bed-e'dom, and Je-i'el, the porters. 

19 So the singers, He'man, A'saph, and 
E'than, r 'were appointed to sound with cymbals 
of brass; 

20 And Zech-a-iTah, and A'zi-el, and She- 
mir'a-moth, and Je-hi'el, and tjn'nl, and 
E-li'ab, and Ma-a-se'iah, and Be-na'iah, with 
psalteries on Al'a-moth; 

21 And Mat-ti-thi'ah, and E-liph'e-leh, and 
Mik-ne'iah, and O'bed-e'dom, and Je-i'el, and 
Az-a-zi'ah, with harps on the Shem'i-nith to 
excel. 

22 And Chen-a-ni'ah, chief of the Le'vites, 
was ,3 for song: he instructed about the song, 
because he was skilful. 

23 And • Ber-e-chl'ah and ElTia-nah were 
doorkeepers for the ark. 

24 And Sheb-a-ni'ah, and Je-hosh'a-phat, 
and Ne-than'e-el, and A-mas'a-I, and Zech-a- 
ri'ah, and Be-na'iah, and E-li-e'zer, the priests. 
did blow with the trumpets before the ark of 
God: and O'bed-e'dom and Je-hi'ah were door- 
keepers for the ark. 

25 r So 'David, and the elders of Is'ra-el, 
and the captains over thousands, went to bring 
up the ark of_the covenant of the Lord out of 
the house of O'bed-e'dom with joy. 

26 And it came to pass, when God T helped 
the Le'vites that bare the ark of the covenant 
of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks 
nnd seven rams. 



3. To these men was entrusted 
the training of those who were to 
turnish the music for the procession. 



4. The three chief musicians; thus 
each of the three great divisions of 
the tribe of Levi had a representative 
in the choir. Their geuealogy is re- 
corded in ch. 6:ol-42. 



5. The singers were divided into 
three companies: First, the three 
chiefs, who used c.vmbals; second, 
eight others, who played with psal- 
teries; third, sis others, who played 
with harps. 



6. That is. he instructed ia the 
carrying of the ark. 



7. That is. by enabling them to 
move the ark six paces without in- 
jury. The people were fearful that 
Jehovah would not allow the ark to 
be moved again (II Sam. 6:13). but 
as soon as their fear appeared to be 
without foundation, they offered sac- 
rifice to God. 



Ch. 16. B. C. 1042. 



1. NOTE. — This ch. continues the 
account of the removal of the ark 
(vs. 4-42). and records the detail of 
the service David instituted at this 
time. From this service grew the 
more elaborate service of the temple. 



2. That is. to write a memorial. 



3. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



4. Vs. 7-43. David's Psalm of 
thanksgiving. 



27 And Da'vid was clothed with a robe of 
fine linen, and all the Le'vites that bare the 
ark, and the singers, and Chen-a-ni ah the 
master of the song with the singers: Da'vid 
also had upon him an ephod of linen. 

28 -'Thus all Is'ra-el brought up the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and 
with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, 
and with cymbals, making a noise with psal- 
teries and harps. 

29 *" And it came to pass, 7 -'as the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord came to the city of Da'- 
vid, that Ml'chal the daughter of Saul looking 
out at a window saw king Da'vid dancing and 
playing: and she 'despised him in her heart. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 David's festival sacrifice. 4 He ordereth a 
choir to sing thanksgiving. 7 The psalm of 

thanksgiving. 

1 'So "they brought the ark of God, and set 
it in the midst of the tent that Da'vid had 
pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices 
and peace offerings before God. 

2 And when Da'vid had made an end of 
offering the burnt offerings and the peace offer- 
ings, he blessed the people in the name of the 
Lord. 

3 And he dealt to every one of Is'ra-el, both 
man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, 
and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. 

4 "~ And he appointed certain of the Le'vites 
to minister before the ark of the 3 Lord, and to 
"record, 6 and to thank and praise the 3 Lord 
God of Is'ra-el: 

5 A'saph the chief, and next to him Zech-a- 
rl'ah, Je-I'el, and She-mir'a-m5th, and Je-hi'el, 
and Mat-ti-thi'ah, and E-li'ab, and Be-na'iah, 
and O'bed-e'dom: and Je-I'el with psalteries 
and with harps ; but A'saph made a sound with 
cymbals: 

6 Be-na'iah also and Ja-ha'zi-el the priests 
with trumpets continually before the ark of 
the covenant of God. 

7 *~ Then on that day 4 Da'vid delivered first 
this psalm to thank the 3 Lord into the hand of 
A'saph and his brethren. 

8 "Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his 
name, make known his deeds among the people. 

9 Sing ^unto him, sing psalms unto him, 
talk ye of all his wondrous works. 

10 Glory c ye in his holy name: let the heart 
of them rejoice that seek the Lord. 

11 Seek fthe 3 Lord and his strength, seek his 
face continually. 

12 Remember his ^marvellous works that he 



out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Vzzah and Ahio, 
the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. (II Sam. 6:3.) 

f. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he 
smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died 
before God (10). And David was displeased, because the Lord had 
made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to 
this day. (I Chr. 13:10, 11.) 

g. And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the 
ark, that the ark may be borne with them. (Ex. 23:14.) And when 
Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and 
all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward: after 
that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch 
any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons 
of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. (Num. 4:15.) But 
unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the 
sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their 
shoulders. (Num. 7:9.) 

h. Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery 
and an instrument of ten strings. (Ps. 33:2.) The singers went be- 
fore, the players on instruments followed after: among them were the 
damsels playing with timbrels. (Ps. 68:23.) Praise him for his mighty 
acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness (2). Praise him 
with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp 
(3). Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed 
instruments and organs (4). Praise him upon !he loud cymbals: praise 
him upon the high sounding cymbals. (Ps. 150:2-5.) 

i. Then Solomon assembled the elders el Israel, and all the heads 
of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto 
king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion. (I Ks. 8:1.) 

j. And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, 
and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with tim- 
brels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. (I Chr. 13:8.) 

k. And as tbe ark of the Lord came into the city of David. Michal 



Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping 
anc! dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. (II 
Sam. 6:16.) 

1. Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. (Acts 2:13.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. And they brought in the ark of the Lcrd. and set it in his place, 
in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David 
offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord (17). And 
as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and 
peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of 
hosts (18). And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole 
multitude of Israel, as w T e!l to the women as men, to every one a cake 
of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the 
people departed everv one to his house. (II Sam. 6:17-19.) 

b. See Ps. 38 and Ps. 70. 

c. O give thanks unto the Lord: call upon his name: make known 
his deeds among the people. (Ps. 105:1.) I will extol thee, my God, O 
king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. (Ps. 145:1.) 

d. Make a joyful noise unto the Lcrd, all ye lands. (Ps. 100:1.) 

e. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his n?me together. 
(Ps. 34:3.) In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and 
shall glory. (Is. 45:25.) 

f. Seek the Lord, and ye shall live: lest he break out like fire in 
the house of Joseph, and devour it. and there be none to quench it in 
Bethel (6). Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the 
Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with vou, as ve have spoken. (Amos 
5:6, 14.) 

g. The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that 
have pleasure therein. (Ps. 111:2.) Tby throne, O God, is for ever and 
ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. (Ps. 45:6.) For 
David himself said by the Holy Ghost. The Lord said to my Lord. Sit 
thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Mir. 
12:36.) For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith him- 
self, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand. (Acts

his mouth; 

13 O ye seed of Is'ra-el his servant, ye chil- 
dren of Jacob, his chosen ones. 

14 He is the "Lord our God; his judgments 
are in all the earth. 

15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; 
the word which he commanded to a thousand 
generations ; 

16 Even of the covenant which he made with 
A "bra-ham, and of his oath unto Isaac; 

17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob 
for a law, and to Is'ra-el for an everlasting 
covenant, 

18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land 
of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 

19 When ye were but few, even a few, and 
strangers in it. 

20 And when they went from nation to na- 
tion, and from one kingdom to another people; 

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: 
yea, he ''reproved kings for their sakes, 

22 Saying, 'Touch not mine anointed, and do 
my prophets no harm. 

23 5 Sing ■'unto the 3 Lord, all the earth; shew 
forth from day to day his salvation. 

24 Declare /i 'his glory among the heathen; 
his marvellous "works among all nations. 

25 For 'great is the 3 Lord, and greatly to 
be praised: he also is to be feared above all 
gods. 

26 For all the gods of the '"people are idols: 
but the' 3 Lord made the heavens. 

27 Glory and "honour are in his presence; 
strength and gladness are in his place. 

28 Give unto the 3 Lord, ye kindreds of the 
people, give unto the "Lord glory and strength 

29 Give unto the 3 Lord the glory due unto 
his name: bring an offering, and come before 
him: worship the 3 Lord in the beauty of holi-

30 Fear before him, all the earth : the world 
also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

and praised the Lord. 

37 H So he left there before the ark of the 
covenant of the 3 Lord A'saph and his brethren, 
to minister before the ark continually, as every 
day's work required: 

38 And 0'bed-e'dom_ with their brethren, 
threescore and eight; O'bed-e'dom also the son 
of Jed'u-thun and Ho'sah to be porters: 

39 And Za'dok the priest, and his brethren 
the priests, before the tabernacle of the 3 Lord 
in the high place that was at Gib'e-on, 

40 To offer 'burnt offerings unto the 3 Lord 
upon the altar of the burnt offering continually 
morning and evening, and to do according to 
all that is written in the law of the Lord, 
which he commanded Is'ra-el; 

41 And with them He'man and 7 Jed'u-thun 
and the rest that were chosen, who were ex- 
pressed by name, to give thanks to the 3 Lord, 
•'because his mercy endureth for ever; 

42 And with them He'man and Jed'u-thun 
with trumpets and cymbals for those that 
should make a sound, and with musical instru- 
ments of God. And the sons of Jed'u-thun 
were porters. 

43 And all the people departed every man 
to his house: and Da'vid returned to bless his 
house. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 Nathan first approving the purpose of Da- 
vid, to build God an house, 3 after by the 
word of God forbiddeth him. 11 He prom- 
iseth him blessings and benefits in his seed. 

1 'Now it came to "pass, as Da'vid sat in his 
house, that Da'vid said to Na'than the prophet, 
Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under 
curtains. 

2 Then Na'than said unto Da'vid, Do all 
that is in thine heart; for God is with thee. 

3 If And it came to pass the same night, that 
the word of God came to Na'than, saying, 

4 Go and tell Da'vid my servant, Thus saith 
the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house 
to dwell in : 

5 For I have not dwelt in an house since 
the day that I brought up Is'ra-el unto this 
day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from 
one tabernacle to another. 

6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Is'- 



2:34.) But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right 
hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? (Heb. 1:13.) Who 
has gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and 
authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 

h. And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues 
because of Sarai Abram's wife. (Gen. 12:17.) But God came to Abime- 
lech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a 
dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's 
wife. (Gen. 20:3.) Thus saith the Lord. In this thou shalt know that 
I am the Lord; behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand 
upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to 
blood (17). And the fish that is in the river shall die and the river 
shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of 
the river. (Ex. 7:17, 18.) 

i. Saving, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 
(Ps. 105:15.) 

j. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with a voice 
of triumph. (Ps. 47:1.> O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto 
the Lord, all the earth. (Ps. 96:1.) 

k. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his 
name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his 
name is exalted. (Is. 12:4.) 

1. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who 
among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? (6). God 
is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to.be had in 
reverence of all them that are about him (7). O Lord God of hosts, 
who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about 
thee? (Ps. 89:6-8.) 

m. Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: 
I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:4.) As concerning therefore the 
eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know 
that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God 
but one. (I Cor. 8:4.) They that make them are like unto them; so is 
every one that trusteth in them. (Ps. 115:8.) Behold, they are all 



vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and 
confusion. (Is. 41:29.) 

n. O Lord our God, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! 
who hast set thy glory above the heavens. (Ps. 8:1.) 

o. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the 
heavenly host praising God, and saying. (Luke 2:13.) Bless the Lord, 
ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, 
hearkening unto the voice of his word. (Ps. 103:20.) 

p. Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also 
shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the 
people righteously. (Ps. 96:10.) And the seventh angel sounded; and 
there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world 
are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ; and he shall 
reign for ever and ever. (Rev. 11:15.) 

q. Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is 
good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 106:1.) O give thanks 
unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 
136:1.) 

r. Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, 
to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise (47). 
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and 
let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord. (Ps. 106:47, 48.) 

s. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth 
wondrous things (18). And blessed be his glorious name for ever: 
and let the whole earth be filled with his glory: Amen, and Amen. 
(Ps. 72:18, 19.) And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God: and all the 
people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they 
bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the 
ground. (Neh. 8:6.) 

t. For the law of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

u. And when all the people of Israel saw how the fire came down, 
and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with 
their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and 
praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for 
ever. (II Chr. 7:3.)

ra-el, spake I a word to any of the judges of 
Is'ra-el, whom I commanded to feed my peo- 
ple, saying, Why have ye not built me an 
house of cedars? 

7 Xow therefore thus shalt thou say unto 
my servant Da'vid, Thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even 
from following the sheep, that thou shouldest 
be ruler over my people Is'ra-el: 

8 And I have been with thee whithersoever 
thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine 
enemies from before thee, and have made thee 
a name like the name of the great men that 
are in the earth. 

9 Also I will s ordain a place for my people 
Is'ra-el, and will plant them, and they shall 
dwell in their place, and shall be moved no 
more; neither shall the children of wickedness 
waste them any more, as at the 4 beginning, 

10 And since the time that I commanded 
judges to be over my people Is'ra-el. Moreover 
I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore 
I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an 
house. 

11 *~ And it shall come to pass, when thy 
days be expired that thou must go to be with 
thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after 
thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will 
establish his kingdom. 

12 He shall build me an house, and I will 
stablish his throne for ever. 

13 I "will be his father, and he shall be my 
son : and I will not take my mercy away from 
him, as I took it from him that was before 
thee: 

14 But 6 7 will settle him in mine house and 
in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall 
be established for evermore. 

15 According to all these words, and accord- 
ing to all this vision, so did Na'than speak unto 
Da'vid. 

16 *~ c And Da'vid the king came and sat be- 
fore the Lord, and said, Who a am I, Lord 
God, and what is mine house, that thou hast 
brought me hitherto? 

17 And yet this was a small thing in thine 
eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy 
servant's house for a great while to come, and 
hast regarded me according to the estate of a 
man of high degree, Lord God. 

18 What can Da'vid speak more to thee for 
the. honour of thy servant? for e thou knowest 
thy servant. 

19 O Lord, for thy servant's sake, and ac- 
cording 'to thine own heart, hast thou done 
all this greatness, in making known all these 
great things.

20 O Lord, there is ^none like thee, neither 
is there any God beside thee, according to all 
that we have heard with our ears. 

21 And what one nation in the earth is like 
thy people Is'ra-el, whom God went to redeem 
to be his own people, to make thee a name of 
greatness and terribleness, by driving out na- 
tions from before thy people, whom thou hast 
redeemed out of E'gypt? 

22 For thy people Is'ra-el didst thou make 
thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, be- 
camest their God. 

23 Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that 
thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and 
concerning his house be established for ever, 
and do as thou hast said. 

24 Let it even be established, that thy name 
''may be magnified for ever, saying, the Lord 
of hosts is the God of Is'ra-el, even a God to 
is'ra-el: and let the house of Da'vid thy serv- 
ant be established before thee. 

25 For thou, my God, hast told thy serv- 
ant that thou wilt build him an house: there- 
fore thy servant hath found in his heart to 
pray before thee. 

26 And now, Lord, thou art God, and 'hast 
promised this goodness unto thy servant: 

27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless 
the house of thy servant, that it may be before 
thee for ever: for thou blessest, Lord, and 
it shall be blessed for ever. 

CHAPTER 18. 

1 David subdaeth the Philistines and the Mo- 
abites. 3 He smiteth Hadarezer and the 
Syrians. 13 He putteth garrisons in Edom. 

1 ] Now after this it came to pass, that Da'- 
vid smote the Phi-lis'tines, and subdued them, 
and took Gath and her towns out of the hand 
of the Phi-lis'tines. 

2 And he °smote Mo'ab; and the Mo'ab-ites 
became David's servants, and brought gifts. 

3 H And Da'vid smote Had-ar-e'zer king of 
Z5'bah unto Ha'math, as he 6 went to stablish 
his dominion by the river Eu-phra'tes. 

4 And Da'vid took from him a thousand 
chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and 
twenty thousand footmen: Da'vid also houghed 
all the chariot horses, but reserved of them 
an hundred chariots. 

5 And when the Syr'i-ans of Da-mas'cus 
came to help Had-ar-e'zer king of Zohah, Da'- 
vid slew of the Syr'i-ans two and twenty thou- 
sand men. 

6 Then Da'vid put garrisons in Syr'i-a-da- 
mas'cus; and the Svr'i-ans became David's 



Chapter 17. 

a. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my 
son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a 
Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Heb. 1:5.) I will be his father, 
and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him 
with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men (14) : 
But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from 
Saul, whom I put away before thee. (II Sam. 7:14, 15.) 

b. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before 
me. (Ps. 89:36.) The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right 
hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) Of the 
increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. upon the 
throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish 
it with judgment, and with justice henceforth even for ever. The zeal 
of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Is. 9:7.) And they shall dwell 
in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your 
fathers have dwelt: and they shall dwell therein, even they and their 
children, and their children's children, for ever: and my servant David 
shall be their prince for ever. (Ezek. 37:25.) And in the days of these 
kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never 
be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it 
shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand 
for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) But in the last days it shall come to pass that 
the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top 
of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills: and 
people shall flow unto it. (Mic. 4:1.) And he shall reign over the 
house of Jacob for ever: and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 
(Luke 1:33.) But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever 
and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 
(Heb. 1:8.) 

c Then went king David in. and sat before the Lord, and he said. 
Who am I. O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought 
me hitherto? (II Sam. 7:18.) 

d. 1 am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the 



truth, which thou hast shown unto thy servants: for with my staff T 
passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands. (Gen. 32:10.) 
What is man that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest 
set thine heart upon him? (Job 7:17.) 

e. O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. (Ps. 139:1.) 
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? 
Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest 
thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou 
knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (Jno. 
21:17.) 

f. Ever so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. (Mat. 
11:26.) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predes- 
tinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after 
the counsel of his own will. (Eph. 1:11.) 

g. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like 
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Ex. 15:11.) 
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord: neither are there 
any works like unto thy works. (Ps. 86:S.) 

h. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, 
saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. (Jno. 12:2S.) 

i. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised ■ 
before the world began. (Titus 1:2.) 

Chapter IS. 

a. I shall see him. but not now: I shall behold him but not nigh: 
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of 
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children 
of Sheth. (Num. 24:17.) 

b. In that same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying. 
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the 
great river, the river Euphrates. (Gen. 15:18.) Every place whereon 
the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness 
and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the utter- 
most sea, shall your coast be. (Dt. 11:24.)

servants, and brought gifts. Thus the Lord 
preserved David whithersoever he went. 

7 And David took the shields of gold that 
were on the servants of Had-ar-e'zer, and 
brought them to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

8 Likewise from Tib'hath, and from Chun, 
cities of Had-ar-e'zer, brought David very 
much brass, wherewith c S61'o-mon made the 
brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of 
brass. 

9 r Now when To'u king of Ha'math heard 
how Da'vid had smitten all the host of Had- 
ar-e'zer king of Zo'bah; 

10 He sent Ha-do'ram his son to king Da'vid, 
to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate 
him, because he had fought against Had-ar- 
e'zer, and smitten him; (for Had-ar-e'zer had 
war with To'u;) and with him all manner of 
vessels of gold and silver and brass. 

11 r Them also king Da'vid dedicated unto 
the Lord, with the silver and the gold that he 
brought from all these nations; from E'dom, 
and from Mo'ab, and from the children of Am'- 
mon, and from the Phi-lis'tines, and from 
Am'a-lek. 

12 Moreover A-bish a-I the son of Zer-u-I'ah 
slew of the E'dom-ites in the valley of salt 
eighteen thousand. 

13 r And he put garrisons in E'dom; and all 
the E'dom-ites became David's servants. Thus 
the ''Lord preserved Da'vid whithersoever he 
went. 

14 r So Da'vid reigned over all is'ra-el, and 
executed judgment and justice among all his 
people. 

15 And Jo'ab the son of Zer-u-i'ah was over 
the host; and Je-hosh'a-phat the son of A-hi'- 
lud, recorder. 

16 And Za'dok the son of A-hi'tub, and 
A-bim-e-lech the son of A-bl'a-thar, were the 
priests; and Shav'sha was scribe; 

17 And Be-na'iah the son of Je-hoi'a-da was 
over the Cher'eth-Ites and the Pe'leth-ites; and 
the sons of Da'vid were chief about the king. 

CHAPTER 19. 

1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun 
the son of A r akasn, are villainously entreated. 
6 The Ammonites are overcome by Joab and 
Abishai. 16 Shophach is slain by David. 

1 J Now it came to pass after this, that Na'- 
hash the king of the children of Am'mon died, 
and his son reigned in his stead. 

2 And Da'vid said, I will shew kindness unto 
Hanun the son of Na'hash, because his father 
shewed kindness to me. And Da'vid sent mes- 
sengers to comfort him concerning his father. 
So the servants of Da'vid came into the land of 
the children of Am'mon to Ha'nun, to comfort 
him. 

3 But the princes of the children of Am'mon 
said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that Da'vid doth 
honour thy father, that he hath sent comfort- 
ers unto thee? are not his servants come unto 
thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to 
spy out the land? 

4 Wherefore Ha'nun took Da'vid's servants, 
and shaved ^hem, and cut off their garments 
in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent 
them away. 

5 Then there went certain, and told Da'vid 
how the men were served. And he sent to

yet the writer makes no mention of 
David's sin against Uriah. 



c. For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece; 
and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about (15). And 
he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it 
was round all about, and his height was five cubits; and a line of thirty 
cubits did compass it round about. (I Ks. 7:15, 23.) 

d. See Ps. 121. 
Chapter 19. 

a. And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time 
when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants 
with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, 



meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. 
And the king said, Tarry at Jer'I-cho until 
your beards be grown, and then return. 

6 1i And when the children of Am'mon saw 
that they had made themselves odious to Da'- 
vid, Ha'nun and the children of Am'mon sent 
a thousand talents of silver to hire them char- 
iots and horsemen out of Mes'o-po-ta'mi-a, and 
out of Syr i-a-ma'a-chah, and out of Zd'bah. 

7 So they hired thirty and two thousand 
chariots, and the king of Ma'a-chah and his 
people; who came and pitched before Med'e-ba. 
And the children of Am'mon gathered them- 
selves together from their cities, and came to 
battle. 

8 And when Da'vid heard of it, he sent 
Jo'ab, and all the host of the mighty men. 

9 And the children of Am'mon came out, and 
put the battle in array before the gate of a the 
city: and the kings that were come were by 
themselves in the field. 

10 Now when J5'ab saw that the battle was 
set against him before and behind, he chose 
out of all the choice of Is'ra-el, and put them 
in array against the Syr'i-ans. 

11 And the rest of the people he delivered 
unto the hand of A-bish'a-I his brother, and 
they set themselves in array against the chil- 
dren of Am'mon. 

12 And he said, If the Syr'i-ans be too 
strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if 
the children of Am'mon be too strong for thee, 
then I will help thee. 

13 Be of good courage, and let us behave 
ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the 
cities of our God: and let the Lord do that 
which is good in his sight. 

14 So Jo'ab and the people that were with 
him drew nigh before the Syr'i-an§ unto the 
battle; and they 6 fled before him. 

15 And when the children of Am'mon saw 
that the Syr'i-an§ were fled, they likewise fled 
before A-bish'a-i his brother, and entered into 
the city. Then Jo'ab came to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

16 f And when the Syr'i-ans saw that they 
were put to the worse before Is'ra-el, they sent 
messengers, and drew forth the Syr'i-ans that 
were beyond the river: and Sho'phach the cap- 
tain of the host of Had-ar-e'zer went before 
them. 

17 And it was told Da'vid; and he gathered 
all Is'ra-el, and passed over Jor'dan, and came 
upon them, and set the battle in array against 
them. So when Da'vid had put the battle in 
array against the Syr'i-ans, they fought with 
him. 

18 But the Syr'i-ans fled before Is'ra-el ; and 
Da'vid slew of the Syr'i-ans seven thousand 
men which fought in chariots, and forty thou- 
sand footmen, and killed Sho'phach the captain 
of the host. 

19 And when the servants of Had-ar-e'zer 
saw that they were put to the worse before 
Is'ra-el, they made peace with Da'vid, and be- 
came his servants: neither would the Syr'i-an§ 
help the children of Am'mSn any more.

battle, Jo'ab led forth the power of the army, 
and wasted the country of the children of 
Amnion, and came and besieged Rab'bah. But 
Da'vid tarried at Je-ru'sa-lem. And Jo'ab 
smote Rab-bah, and destroyed it. 

2 And Da'vid Hook the crown of their king 
from off his head, and found it to weigh a tal- 
ent of gold, and there were precious stones in 
it; and it was set upon Da'vid's head: and he 
brought also exceeding much spoil out of the 
city. 

3 And he brought out the people that were 
in it, and cut them with saws, and with har- 
rows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt 
Da'vid with all the cities of the children of 
Amnion. And Da'vid and all the people re- 
turned to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4 11 And. c it came to pass after this, that 
there arose war at Ge'zer with the Phi-lis'tine§; 
at which time Sib'be-chai the Hu'shath-ite slew 
Sip'pai, that was of the children of the giant : 
and they were subdued. 

5 And there was war again with the Phi- 
lis'tine§; and El-ha'nan the son of Ja'ir slew 
Lah'mi the brother of Go-lT'ath the Git'tite, 
whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam. 

6 And yet again there was war at Gath, 
where was a man of great stature, whose fin- 
gers and toes were four and twenty, six on 
each hand, and six on each foot: and he also 
was the son of the giant. 

7 But when he defied Is'ra-el, Jon'a-than the 
son of Shim'e-a Da'vid's brother slew him. 

8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; 
and they fell by the hand of Da'vid, and by 
the hand of his servants. 

CHAPTER 21. 

1 David forceth Joab to number the people. 

9 David having three plagues propounded by 
Gad chooseth the pestilence. 14 After the 
death of seventy thousand, David by repent- 
ance preventeth the destruction of Jerusa- 
lem. 18 David purchaseth Oman's thresh- 
ing floor: where, having built an altar, God 
giveth a sign of his favour by fire, and stay- 
eth the plague. 

1 \A.nd Sa'tan "stood up against Is'ra-el, and 
provoked Da'vid to number Is'ra-el. 

2 And Da'vid said to JS'ab and to the rulers 
of the people, Go, number is'ra-el from Be'er- 
she'ba even to Dan; and bring the number of 
them to me, that I may know it. 

3 And Jo'ab answered, The 3 Lord make his 
people an hundred times so many more as they 
be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my

lord's servants? why then doth my lord require 
this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass 
to Is'ra-el? 

4 Nevertheless the ^king's word prevailed 
against Jo'ab. Wherefore Jo'ab departed, and 
went throughout all is'ra-el, and came to Je- 
ru'sa-lem : 

5 11 And Jo'ab gave the sum of the number 
of the people unto Da'vid. And all they of 
Is'ra-el were a thousand thousand and an hun- 
dred thousand men that drew sword: and Ju'- 
dah was four hundred threescore and ten thou- 
sand men that drew sword. 

6 But 2 Le'vi and Ben'ja-min counted he not 
among them: for the king's word was abom- 
inable to Jo'ab. 

7 And God was displeased with this thing; 
therefore he smote is'ra-el. 

8 And Da'vid said unto God, C I have sinned 
greatly, because I have done this thing: but 
now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of 
thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 

9 HAnd the 3 Lord spake unto Gad, Da'vid's 
seer, saying, 

10 Go and tell Da'vid, saying, Thus saith 
the 3 Lord, I offer thee three things : choose thee 
one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 

11 So Gad came to Da'vid, and said unto 
him, Thus saith the 3 Lord, Choose thee 

12 Either three years' famine; or three 
months to be destroyed before thy foes, ''while 
that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh 
thee; or else three days the sword of the 'Lord, 
even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel 
of the Lord destroying throughout all the 
coasts of is'ra-el. Now therefore advise thy- 
self what word I shall bring again to him that 
sent me. 

13 And Da'vid said unto Gad, I am in a 
great strait: let me fall now into the hand of 
the 3 Lord; for very great are e his mercies: 
but let me not fall into the hand of man. 

14 If So the Lord sent pestilence upon is'ra- 
el: and there fell of is'ra-el seventy thousand 
men. 

15 And God sent an fangel unto Je-ru'sa- 
lem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, 
the 3 Lord beheld, and he repented - 9 him of the 
evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It 
is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel 
of the 3 Lord stood by the threshingfloor of 
Or'nan the Jeb'u-site. 

16 And Da'vid lifted up his eyes, and saw 
the angel of the 3 Lord stand between the earth 
and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his 
hand stretched out over Je-ru'sa-lem. Then 



b. And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight 
whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set 
on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great 
abundance (30). And- he brought forth the people that were therein, 
and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes 
of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he 
unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the 
people returned unto Jerusalem. (II Sam. 12:30, 31.) 

c. See II Sam. 21:18-22. 
Chapter 21. 

a. And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, 
and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 
(II Sam. 24:1.) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to 
present themelves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. 
(Job 1:6.) And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before 
the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist 
him. (Zech. 3:1.) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, 
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was 
cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 
(Rev. 12:9.) 

b. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be 
right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, 
judge ye. (Acts 4:19.) Then Peter and the other apostles answered and 
said, We ought to obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29.) 

c. And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the 
people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that 
I have done-; and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity 
of Hiy servant; for I have done very foolishly. (II Sam. 24:10.) And 
David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan 
said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not 
clii (II Sam. 12:13.) And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done fool- 
ishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the-Lord thy God, which 

anded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy 
kingdom upon Israel for ever. (I Sam. 13:13.) 

d. And I he anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he 



delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he 
sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they 
could not any longer stand before their enemies. (Jud. 2:11.) So Gad 
came to David and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of 
famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months 
before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three 
days' pestilence in thy land? Now advise, and see what answer I shall 
return to him that sent me. (II Sam. 24:13.) 

e. (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God:) he will not forsake 
thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers 
which he sware unto them. (Dt. 4:31.) Nevertheless for thy great 
mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; 
for thou art a gracious and merciful God. (Neh. 9:31.) O give thanks 
unto the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 
107:1.) Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 
(Ps. 116:5.) To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:4.) To the Lord our God belong mercies 
and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him. (Dan. 9:9.) 

f. And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to 
destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that 
destroyed the people, It is enough; stay now thine hand. And the 
angel of the Lord was by the threshing-place of Araunah the Jebusite. 
(II Sam. 24:16.) 

g. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, 
and it grieved him at his heart. (Gen. 6:6.) For the Lord shall judge 
his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that 
their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) 
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction when he heard their cry. 
(Ps. 106:44.) And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do 
unto his people. (Ex. 32:14.) And rend your heart, and not your gar- 
ments and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merci- 
ful slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 
(Joel 2:13.) Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone 
backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy 
thee; I am weary with repenting. (Jer. 15:6.)

Da'vid and the elders of Is'ra-el, who were 
clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. 

17 And Da'vid said unto God, Is it not I 
that commanded the people to be numbered? 
even I it is that have sinned and done evil 
indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they 
done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O 3 Lord my 
God, be on me, and on my father's house; but 
not on thy people, that they should be plagued. 

18 11 Then the ''angel of the Lord commanded 
Gad to say to Da'vid, that Da'vid should go 
up, and set up an altar unto the 3 Lord in the 
threshingfloor of Or'nan the Jeb'u-slte. 

19 And Da'vid went up at the saying of Gad, 
which he spake in the name of the 'Lord. 

20 And Or'nan turned back, and saw the 
angel; and his four sons with him hid them- 
selves. Now Or'nan was threshing wheat. 

21 And as Da'vid came to Or'nan, Or'nan 
looked and saw Da'vid, and went out of the 
threshingfloor, and bowed himself to Da'vid 
with his face to the ground. 

22 Then Da'vid said to Or'nan, Grant me the 
place of this threshingfloor, that I may build 
an altar therein unto the Lord: thou shalt 
grant it me for the full price: that the plague 
may be 'stayed from the people. 

23 And Or'nan said unto Da'vid, Take it to 
thee, and let my lord the king do that which 
is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen 
also for burnt offerings, and the threshing in- 
struments for wood, and the wheat for the 
meat offering; I give it all. 

24 And king Da'vid said to Or'nan, Nay; but 
I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will 
not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor 
offer burnt offerings without cost. 

25 So Da'vid gave to Or'nan for the place 
six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 

26 And Da'vid built there an altar unto the 
3 Lord, and offered J'burnt Offerings and peace 
^offerings, and called upon the 'Lord; and he 
answered him from' heaven by fire upon the 
altar of burnt 4 offering. 

27 And the 3 Lord commanded the angel; and 
he put up his sword again into the sheath 
thereof. 

28 If At that time when Da'vid saw that the 
°Lord had answered him in the threshingfloor 
of Or'nan the- Jeb'u-site, then he sacrificed 
there. 

29 For the tabernacle of the 3 Lord, which 
Mo'se§ made in the wilderness, and the altar 
of the burnt offering, were at that season in 
the high place at Glb'e-on.* 

30 But Da'vid could not go before it to 0J: en- 



4. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



5. Thanksgiving offering of one in 
the enjoyment of peace afforded by 
a clear conscience, therefore offered 
to God in gratitude for blessings re- 
ceived. 



6. That is. David was convinced 
by divine revelation that the thrash- 
ing floor of Oman was the chosen 
spot, hence for spiritual reasons Da- 
vid could not go to Gioeon and there- 
fore was afraid of the sword of the 
angel of the Lord.

exceeding extent, for a name and for 
an ornament to all the land.

plained to him why he should not 
build the temple. 



6. David had not carried on his 
wars against the will of God, for they 
were often called "Wars of the 
Lord," and in order to establish Is- 
rael in Canaan, much bloodshed was 
necessary. Nevertheless bloodshed 
was not in harmony with the ultimate 
plans of Jehovah, therefore, hands of 
blood must not build the temple. 



quire of God: for he was afraid 'because of 
the sword of the angel of the 3 Lord. 

CHAPTER 22. 
1 David, foreknowing the place of the temple, 
prepareth abundance for the building of it. 
6 He instructeth Solomon in Goa's promises, 
and his duty in building the temple. 

1 ^hen Da'vid said, "This is the house of the 
2 Lord God, and this is the altar of the burnt 
'offering for is'ra-el. 

2 And Da'vid commanded to gather together 
the strangers that were in the land of Isra-el; 
and he set masons to hew wrought stones to 
build the house of God. 

3 And Da'vid prepared iron in abundance 
for the nails for the doors of the gates, and 
for the joinings; and brass in abundance with- 
out weight; 

4 Also cedar trees & in abundance: for the 
Zl-d6'nl-an§ and they of Tyre brought much 
cedar wood to Da'vid. 

5 And Da'vid said, c S61'o-mon my son is 
young and tender, and the house that is to be 
builded for the 2 Lord must be exceeding 'mag- 
nifical, of fame and of glory throughout all 
countries: I will therefore now make prepara- 
tion for it. So Da'vid prepared abundantly 
before his death. 

6 1f Then he called for Sol'o-mon his son, and 
charged him to build an house for the Lord 
God of is'ra-el. 

7 And Da'vid said to S51'o-mon, My son, as 
for me, d it was in my mind to build an house 
unto the name of the 2 Lord my God: 

8 But the word of the 2 Lord came to me, 
r, saying, e Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and 
hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an 
house unto my name, because thou hast shed 
much "blood upon the earth in my sight. 

9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who 
shall be a man of rest; and I will give him 
''rest from all his enemies round about: for his 
name shall be Sol'o-mon, and I will give peace 
and quietness unto is'ra-el in his days. 

10 He shall "build an house for my name; 
and ''he shall be my son, and I will be his fa- 
ther; and I will establish the throne of his 
kingdom over is'ra-el for ever. 

11 Now, my son, the Lord 'be with thee; and 
prosper thou, and build the house of the Lord 
thy God, as he hath said of thee. 

12 Only the 2 Lord ?give thee wisdom and un- 
derstanding, and give thee charge concerning 
Is'ra-el, that thou mayest keep the law of the 
Lord thy God. 

13 Then shalt 7i 'thou prosper, if thou takest 



h. Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, 
and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. (Ex. 23:20.) 
And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him; be 
not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the 
king. (II Ks. 1:15.) 

i. And he stood between the dead and the living: and the plague 
was stayed. (Num. 16:48.) And he went after the man of Israel into 
the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the 
woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children 
of Israel. (Num. 25:8.) 

j. For the law of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

k. See a, ch. 23, I Sam. 

1. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy 
judgments. (Ps. 119:120.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem 
in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in 
the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Oman the 
Jebusite. " (II Chr. 3:1.) But unto the place which the Lord your God 
shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his 
habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come. (Dt. 12:5.) 

b. Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out 
of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee 
will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: 
for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew 
timber like unto the Sidonians. (I Ks. 5:6.) • 

c. Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, 
Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, 
and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the Lord 
God. (I Chr. 29:1.) 

d. And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; 
for the Lord is with thee. (II Sam. 7:3.) And it was in the heart of 
David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of 



Israel. (I Ks. 8:17.) Who found favor before God, and desired to And 
a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. (Acts 7:46.) 

e. Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an 
house unto the name of the Lord his God, for the wars which were 
about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his 
feet. (I Ks. 5:3.) 

f. And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine 
and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersbeba, all the days of 
Solomon. (I Ks. 4:25.) But now the Lord my God hath given me rest 
on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence. 
(I Ks. 5:4.) 

g. He shall build an house for my name; and I will stablish 
the throne of his kingdom for ever. (II Sam. 7:13.) And, behold, I 
purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the 
Lord spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set 
upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name. 
(I Ks. 5:5.) 

h. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art 
my son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a 
Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Heb. 1:5.) 

i. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who 
can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

j. Keep therefore and do them: for this is your wisdom and your 
understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these 
statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understand- 
ing people. (Dt. 4:6.) Give therefore thy servant an understanding 
heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: 
for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? (I Ks. 3:9.) Give 
the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's 
son. (Ps. 72:1.) 

k. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest 
observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant com- 
manded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to tfie left, that 
thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7 ) Say ye to

heed to fulfil 'the statutes and judgments 
which the "Lord charged Mo'seg with concern- 
ing Is'ra-el: be strong, and of good courage; 
dread not, nor be dismayed. 

14 Now, behold, in my "trouble I have pre- 
pared for the house of the Lord an hundred 
'thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thou- 
sand "talents of silver; and of brass and iron 
without weight; for it is in abundance; timber 
also and stone have I prepared; and thou may- 
est add thereto. 

,15 Moreover there are workmen with thee in 
abundance, hewers and workers of stone and 
timber, and all manner of cunning men for 
every manner of work. 

16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and 
the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, 
and be doing, and the "Lord be with thee. 

1 7 r Da'vid also commanded all the princes 
of Is'ra-el to help S61'o-mon his son, saying, 

18 Is not the "Lord your God with you? and 
hath he not given '"you rest on every side? for 
he hath given the inhabitants of the land into 
mine hand; and the land is subdued before the 
Lord, and before his people. 

19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek 
the "Lord your God; arise therefore, and build 
ye the sanctuary of the "Lord God, to bring the 
ark of the covenant of the 2 Lord, and the holy 
vessels of God, into the house that is to be 
built to the name of the 2 Lord. > 

CHAPTER 23. 

1 David maketh Solomon king. 2 The number 
and distribution of the Levites. 7 The fami- 
lies of the Gershonites. 12 The sons of Ko- 
hath. 21 The sons of Merari, 24 The office 
of the Levites. 

1 So when Da'vid was old and full of days, 
J he made "Sol'o-mon his son king over Is'ra-el. 

2 IT And he gathered together all the princes 
of Is'ra-el, with the priests and the Le'vites. 

3 Now the Le'vites were numbered from the 
age of thirty years and upward: and their 
number by their polls, man by man, was thirty 
and eight thousand. 

4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were 
to set forward the work of the house of the 
"Lord; and six thousand were officers and 
judges: 

5 Moreover four thousand were porters; and 
four thousand praised the Lord with the in- 
struments which I made, said Da'vid, to praise 
therewith. 

6 And Da'vid divided them into _ courses 
among the sons of Le'vi, namely, Ger'shon. 
Ko'hath, and Me-ra'ri. 

7 f Of the Ger'shon-ites were, La'a-dan, and 
Shim'e-I. 

8 The sons of La'a-dan; the chief was Je-hi'- 
el, and Ze'tham, and Jo'el, three. 

9 The sons of Shim'e-i; Shel'o-mith, and 
Ha/zi-el, and Ha'ran, three. These were the 
chief of the fathers of La'a-dan. 

10 And the sons of Shim'e-i were, Ja'hath, 
Zi'na, and Je'ush, and Be-ri'ah. These four 
were the sons of Shim'e-i. 

11 And Ja'hath was the chief, and Zi'zah the 
second: but Je'ush and Be-ri'ah had not many 
sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, ac- 
cording to their father's house. 



7. That is, in my poverty, af- 
fliction, distress. 



S. About $3,690,000,000. 



9. About $1,660,000,000.

Solomon king over Israel, but also 
makes very thorough arrangements 
completely organizing the kingdom 
before turning it over to his son. 



Jehovah, the covenant-name of 



God. 



3. As high priest. 



4. The age has now been reduced 
from 30 years to 2u. As the taber- 
nacle was to be carried about no 
more, such mature strength was not 
necessary, therefore the Levites could 
begin their service at an earlier age 
— a practice which afterwards pre- 
vailed. Ez. 3:S. last clause. 'Ap- 
pointed the Levites from 20 years 
old and upward, to set forward the 
work of the house of the Lord." 



5. Meal or food offering. 



f>. That is, to assist the priest in 
jffering. 



12 r The sons of Ko'hath; Am ram, Iz'har, 
He'bron, and Uz'zi-el, four. 

13 The sons of Am'ram; Aar'on and Mo- 
ses: and Aar'on was "separated, that he should 
sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons 
for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to 
minister unto him, and to bless in his name 
for ever. 

14 Now concerning Mo'ses the man of God, 
his sons were named of the tribe of Le'vi. 

15 The sons of Md'ses were, Ger'shom, and 
E-li-e'zer. 

16 Of the sons of Ger'shom, Sheb'u-el was 
the chief. 

17 And the sons of E-li-e'zer were, Re-ha- 
bi'ah the chief. And E-li-e'zer had none other 
sons; but the sons of Re-ha-bi'ah were very 
many. 

18 Of the sons of Iz'har; Shel'o-mith the 
chief. 

19 Of the sons of He'bron; Je-ri'ah the first, 
Am-a-ri'ah the second, Ja-ha'zi-el the third, 
and Jek-a-me'am the fourth. 

20 Of the sons of Uz'zi-el; Mi'cah the first, 
and Je-si'ah the second. 

21 ^T The sons of Me-ra'ri; Mah'li, and Mu- 
shi. The sons of Mah'li; E-le-a'zar, and Kish. 

22 And E-le-a'zar died, and had no sons, but 
daughters : and their brethren the sons of Kish 
took them. 

23 The sons of Mu'shi; Mah'li, and E'der, 
and Jer'e-moth, three. 

24 If These were the sons of Le'vi after the 
house of their fathers; even the chief of the 
fathers, as they were counted by number of 
names by their polls, that did the work for the 
service of the houce of the "Lord, from the age 
of 4 twenty years and upward. 

25 For Da'vid said, The 2 Lord God of Is'- 
ra-el hath given rest unto his people, that they 
may dwell in Je-ru'sa-lem for ever: 

26 And also unto the Le'vites; they shall no 
more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of 
it for the service thereof. 

27 For by the last words of Da'vid the Le'- 
vites were numbered from twenty years old 
and above: 

28 Because their office was to wait on the 
sons of Aar'on for the service of the house of 
the 2 Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, 
and in the purifying of all holy things, and the 
work of the service of the house of God; 

29 Both for the shewbread, and for Hhe fine 
flour for meat '"offering, and for the un- 
leavened cakes, and for that which is baked 
in the pan, and for that which is fried, and 
for all manner of measure and size; 

30 And to stand every morning to thank and 
praise the 2 Lord, and likewise at even; 

31 And to offer all burnt Sacrifices unto the 
2 Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and 
on the set feasts, by number, according to the 
order commanded unto them, continually before 
the 2 Lord: 

32 And that they should °keep the charge 
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the 
charge of the holy place, and the charge of the 
sons of Aar'on their brethren, in the service of 
the house of the Lord. 



the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit 
of their doings. (Is. 3:10.) 

1. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

m. And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren, 
as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your 
tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant 
of the Lord gave you on the other side Jordan. (Josh. 22:4.) And it 
came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given 
him rest round about from all his enemies. (II Sam. 7:1.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of 
your Lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, 
and brini? him down to Oihon. (I Ks. 1:33.) And of all my sons, (for 



the Lord hath given me many sons.) he hath chosen Solomon my son 
to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. (I 
Chr. 28:5.) 

b. This is the offering of Aaron, and of his sons, which they 
shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed: the tenth 
part of .an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it 
in the morning, and half thereof at night. (Lev. 6:20.) Some of them 
also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of 
the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine and the oil, and the 
frankincense, and the spices. (I Chr. 9:29.) 

c. But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testi- 
mony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children 
of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of 
testimony. (Num. 1:53.)

1 The divisions of the sons of Aaron by lot 
into four and tiventy orders. 20 The Ko- 
hathites, 27 and the Merarites divided by 
lot. 

1 'Now these are the divisions of the sons 
of Aar'on. The sons of Aar'on; "Na'dab, and 
A-bl'hu, E-le-a'zar, and Ith'a-mar. 

2 But Na'dab and 6 A-bi'hu died before their 
father, and had no children: therefore E-le-a'- 
zar and Ith'a-mar executed the priest's office. 

3 And Da'viddistributed them, both Za'dok 
of the sons of E-le-a'zar, and A-him'e-lech of 
the sons of Ith'a-mar, according to their offices 
in their service. 

4 And there were more chief men found of 
the sons of E-le-a'zar than of the sons of Ith'- 
a-mar; and thus were they divided. Among 
the sons of E-le-a'zar there were sixteen chief 
men of the house of their fathers, and eight 
among the sons of Ith'a-mar according to the 
house of their fathers. 

5 Thus were they divided c by lot, one sort 
with another; for the governors of the sanc- 
tuary, and governors of the house of God, were 
of the sons of E-le-a'zar, and of the sons of 
Ith'a-mar. 

6 And Shem-a-I'ah the son of Ne-than'e-el 
the scribe, one of the Le'vites, wrote them be- 
fore the king, and the princes, and Za'dok the 
priest, and A-him'e-lech the son of A-bl'a-thar, 
and before the chief of the fathers of the 
priests and Le'vites: one principal household 
being taken for E-le-a'zar, and one taken for 
ith'a-mar. 

7 Now the first lot came forth to Je-hoi'a- 
rib, the second to Je-da'iah, 

8 The third to Ha'rim, the fourth to Se-o'- 
rim, 

9 The fifth to Mal-chl'jah, the sixth to Mij'- 
a-min, 

10 The seventh to Hak'koz, the eighth to 
A-bi'jah, » 

11 The ninth to Jesh'u-ah, the tenth to 
Shech-a-nl'ah, 

12 The eleventh to E-H'a-shib, the twelfth 
to Ja'kim, 

13 The thirteenth to Hup'pah, the fourteenth 
to Je-sheb'e-ab, 

14 The fifteenth to Bil'gah, the sixteenth to 
Im'mer, 

15 The seventeenth to He'zir, the eighteenth, 
to Aph'se§, 

16 The nineteenth to Peth-a-hi'ah, the twen- 
tieth to Je-hez'e-kel, 

17 The one and twentieth to Ja'chin, the 
two and twentieth to Ga'mul, 

18 The three and twentieth to Del-a-i'ah, 
the four and twentieth to Ma-a-zi'ah. 

19 These were the tf orderings of them in 
their service to come into the house of the 
Lord, according to c their manner, under Aar'on 
their father, as the 2 Lord God of Is'ra-el had 
commanded him. 



Ch. 24. b. c. 1015. 



1. NOTE.— In this ch. is given an 
account of the divisions of the sons 
of Aaron into 24 orders, which were 
distributed by lot. each to take its 
turn in the holy service, serving one 
week at a time, commencing and end- 
ing on the Sabbath. (II Chr. 23 :S.) 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. That is. those besides 
priests just enumerated. 



4. The^e orders were decided by 
lot, that in the classification no house 
could have an advantage over an- 
other, hence some difference between 
this list and that of ch. 23. 



Ch. 25. B. C. 1015. 



1. NOTE. — In this ch. are given 
the number, names and classification 
into 24 lots, of the musicians. 



2. The public recitation of Psalms, 
a practice coming from the schools of 
the prophets. (I Sam. 10:5) — "After 
that thou shalt come to the hill "of 
God. where is the garrison of the 
Philistines; and it shall come to pass, 
when thou art come thither to the 
city, that thou shalt meet a company 
of prophets, coming down from the 
high place, with a psaltery and a 
tabret and a pipe and a harp before 
them, and they shall prophesy." 



3. With Shimei mentioned in v. 17. 



4. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 



5. Heman had also the gift of rev- 
elation, therefore the ability to re- 
veal the word of God. 



20 f And the 3 rest of the sons of Le'vl were 
these: Of the sons of Am'ram; Shu'ba-el: of 
the sons of Shu'ba-el; Jeh-de'iah. 

21 Concerning Re-ha-bi'ah: of the sons of 
Re-ha-bi'ah, the first was Is'shi-ah. 

22 Of the Iz'har-Ites; Shel'o-moth: of the 
sons of Shel'o-moth; Ja'hath. 

23 And the sons of He'bron; Je-ri'ah the 
first, Am-a-ri'ah the second, Ja-ha'zi-el the 
third, Jek-a-me'am the fourth. 

24 Of the sons of Uz'zi-el; Mi'chah: of the 
sons of Mi'chah; Sha'mir. 

25 The brother of Mi'chah was Is'shi-ah: of 
the sons of Is'shi-ah; Zech-a-rl'ah. 

26 The sons of Me-ra'ri were Mah'li and 
Mu'shi: the sons of Ja-a-zi'ah; Be'no. 

27 If The sons of Me-ra'ri by Ja-a-zT'ah ; 
Be'nd, and Sho'ham, and Zac'cur, and Ib'rl. 

28 Of Mah'li came E-le-a'zar, who had no 
sons. 

29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was 
Je-rah'me-el. 

_ 30 The sons also of Mu'shi; Mah'li, and 
E'der, and Jer'i-moth. These were the sons of 
the Le'vites after the house of their fathers. 

31 These likewise cast lots over against 
their brethren the sons of Aar'on in the pres- 
ence of Da'vid the king, and Za'dok, and A-him'- 
e-lech, and the chief of the fathers of the 
priests and Le'vites, even the ^principal fathers 
over against their younger brethren.

host separated to the service of the sons of 
A'saph, and of He'man, and of Jed'u-thun, 
who should "prophesy 2 with harps, with 
psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number 
of the workmen according to their service 
was: 

2 Of the sons of A'saph; Zac'cur, and Jo'-

a. And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them 
his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered 
strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. (Lev. 10:1.) 

b. And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered 
strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had 
no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office 
in the sight of Aaron their father. (Num. 3:4.) 

c. And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord: and 
there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to 
their divisions. (Josh. 18:10.) The lot is cast into the lap; but the 
whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. (Prov. 16:33.) The lot causeth 
contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. (Prov. 18:18.) 
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he 
was numbered with the eleven apostles. (Acts 1:26.) 

d. According to the commandment of the Lord they were num- 
bered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and 
according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the Lord 
commanded Moses. (Num. 4:49.) Let all things be done decently and 
in order. (I Cor. 14:40.) 

e. And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall 
do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even he 
keepers of the watch of the king's house (5). And two parts of all 



you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of 
the house of the Lord about the king. (II Ks. 11:5, 7.) And it came 
to pass, that, while he executed the priest's office before God in the 
order of his course (8). And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days 
of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. 
(Luke 1:8, 23.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel 
in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and 
with dances. (Ex. 15:20.) And the Lord came down in a cloud, and 
spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it 
unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit 
rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. (Num. 11:25.) 
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of 
the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither 
to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down 
from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a 
harp, before them; and they shall prophesy. (I Sam. 10:5.) 

h. (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus 
he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a 
Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.) (I Sam. 9:9.)

and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which

1. XOTE. — In this ch. is given 
the division of the porters or the 
door-keepers. It will be observed 
here that Obededom. who kept the 
ark (ch. 13:14) from the time of its 
removal to Jerusalem, now holds a 
very common and honored place 
among the porters or door-keepers.

Of the Kor'hites was Me-shel-e-mi'ah the son 
of Ko're, of the sons of A'saph. 

2 And the sons of Me-shel-e-mi'ah were, 
Zech-a-ri ah the firstborn, Je-di'a-el the second, 
Zeb-a-di'ah the third, Jath'ni-el the fourth, 

3 Elam the fifth, Je-ho-ha'nan the sixth, 
El-i-5-e'na-i the seventh. 

4 Moreover the sons of O'bed-e'dom were, 
Shem-a-i'ah the firstborn, Je-hoz'a-bad the sec- 
end, Jo'ah the third, and Sa'car the fourth, anl 
Ne-than'e-el the fifth, 

5 Am mi-el the sixth, Is'sa-char the seventh, 
Pe-ul'thai the eighth: for God blessed him. 

6 Also unto Shem-a-I'ah his son were sons 
born, that ruled throughout the house of their 
father : for they were mighty men of valour. 

7 The sonsof Shem-a-i'ah; Oth'ni, and Re'- 
pha-el, and O'bed, El'za-bad, whose brethren 
were strong men, E-li'hu, and Sem-a-chi'ah. 

8 All these of the sons of O'bed-e'dom: they 
and their sons and their brethren, able men 
for strength for the service, were threescore 
and two of O'bed-e'dom. 

9 And Me-shel-e-mi'ah had sons and breth- 
ren, strong men, eighteen. 

10 Also H5'sah, of the children of Me-ra'ri, 
had sons; Sim'ri the chief, (for though he was 
not c the firstborn, yet his father made him the 
chief;) 

11 Hil-ki'ah the second, Teb-a-li'ah the third. 
Zech-a-ri'ah the fourth : all the sons and breth- 
ren of Ho'sah were thirteen. 

12 Among these were the divisions of the 
porters, even among the chief men, having 
wards one against another, to minister in the 
house of the Lord. 

13 ''And they cast lots, as well the small 
6 as the great, according to the house of their 
fathers, for every gate. 

14 And the lot eastward fell to Shel-e-mi'ah. 
Then for Zech-a-ri'ah his son, a wise coun- 
sellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out 
northward. 

15 To O'bed-e'dom southward; and to his 
sons the house of A-siip'pim. 

16 To Shup'pim and Ho'sah the lot came 
forth westward, with the gate Shalle-cheth. 
by the causeway of the going c up, ward against 
ward. 

17 Eastward were six Levites, northward 
four a day, southward four a day, and toward 
A-sup'pim two and two. 

18 At ParTiar westward, four at the cause- 
way, and two at Par 'bar. 

19 These are the divisions . of the porters 
among the sons of Ko're, and among the sons 
of Me-ra'ri. 

20 *~And of the Le'vites, A-hi'jah was over 
the ^treasures of the house of God, and over 
the treasures of the dedicated things. 

21 As concerning the sons of La-a-dan; the 
sons of the Gei'shon-ite La'a-dan, chief fathers, 
even of La'a-dan the Gei'shon-ite, were Je-hi-

God hath graciously given thy servant. (Gen. 33:5.) Now the Philis- 
tines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered to- 
gether at Shcchoh. which belcngeth to Judah, and pitched between 
Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-daromim. (I Sam. 17:1.) Lo, children 
are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 
'Ps. 127:3.) Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me 
are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which 
dwelleth in mount Zion. (Is. S:1S.) 

d. And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the 
altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began 
also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David 
king of Israel. (II Chr. 29:27.) Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto 
him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings (2). Sing unto 
him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. (Ps. 33:2, 3.) Praise 
ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firma- 
ment of his power. (Ps. 150:1.) Speaking to yourselves in psalms 
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your 
heart to the Lord. (Eph. 5:19.) Let the word of Christ dwell in you 
richly in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms 
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to 
the Lord. 'Col. 3:16.) Is any among you afflicted? let'bim pray. Is 
any merry? let him sing psalms. (Ja. 5:13.) 



Chapter 26. 

a. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou 
doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, 
and thou shalt rule over him. (Gen. 4:7.1 Now the sons of Reuben, 
the first-born of Israel, (for he was the first-born:) but, forasmuch as 
he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of 
Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after 
the birthright. (I Chr. 5:1.) 

h. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said. Of a truth. I perceive 
that God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34.) There is neither 
Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male 
nor female: for ye axe all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:2S.) Where 
there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision .nor uncircumcision. Bar- 
barian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all and in all. (Col. 3:11.) 

c. And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and 
the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, 
and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord: there 
was no more spirit in her. (I Ks. 10:5.) 

d. And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sac- 
rifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your 
vows and your free-will offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and 
of your flocks. (Dt. 12:6.) So was ended all the work that king Solo-

over all the treasures of the dedicated things, 
which David the king, and the chief fathers, 
the captains over thousands and hundreds, and 
the captains of the host, had dedicated. 

27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they 
dedicate to maintain the house of the 2 Lord. 

28 And all 3 that Sam'u-el the seer, and Saul 
the son of Kish, and Ab'ner the son of Ner, 
and Jo'ab the son of Zer-u-i'ah, had dedicated; 
and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was 
under the hand of SheTo-mith, and of his 
brethren.

sons were for the outward business over Is'- 
ra-el, for officers and judges.

and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand 
and seven hundred, were officers among them 
of Is'ra-el on this side Jor'dan westward in 
all the business of the Lord, and in the service 
of the king. 

31 Among the He'bron-ites was Je-iTjah the 
chief, even among the He'bron-ites, according 
to the generations of his fathers. In the 
fortieth year, of the reign of Da'vid they were 
sought for, and there were found among them 
mighty men of valour at Ja'zer of Gil'e-ad. 

32 And his brethren, -men of valour, were 
two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, 
whom king Da'vid made rulers over the Reu'- 
ben-ites, the Gad'ites, and the half tribe of 
Ma-nas'seh, for every matter pertaining to

the Lord. And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, 
and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he 
took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. (I Ks.

meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of

Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own 
self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of 
heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your 
seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. (Ex. 32:13.) The Lord your

heaven for multitude. (Dt. 1:10.) Thy fathers went down into Egypt 
with threescore and ten persons; and now the Lord thy God hath made 
thee as the stars of heaven for multitude. (Dt. 10:22.) Therefore sprang

able. (Heb. 11:12.)

the stewards over all the substances and pos- 
session of the king, and of his sons, with the 
officers, and with the mighty men, and with all 
the valiant men, unto Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 Then Da'vid the king stood up upon his 
feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my 
people: As for me, I had in a mine heart to 
build an house of rest for the ark of the cov- 
enant of the 2 Lord, and for 6 the footstool of 
our God, and had made ready for the building: 

3 But God said unto me, c Thou shalt not 
build an house for my name, because thou 
hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood. 

4 Howbeit the 2 Lord God of Is'ra-el chose 
me before all the house of my father to be 
king over Is'ra-el for ever: for he hath chosen 
d Ju'dah to be the ruler; and of the house of 
Ju'dah, the house of my father; and among 
the sons of my father he liked me to make me 
king over all Is'ra-el: 

5 And of all my sons, (for the Lord hath 
given me many sons,) c he hath chosen Sol'o- 
mon my son to sit upon the throne of the 
kingdom of the Lord over is'ra-el.

counselors. 



Ch. 28. B. C. 1015. 



1. NOTE.— In this ch. is recorded 
David's last national counsel or as- 
sembling of the people together. The 
three departments of government — 
viz., ecclesiastical, political and mil- 
itary — have been thoroughly organ- 
ized and David now assembles at Je- 
rusalem the chief representative of 
the people, and turns over the king- 
dom to Solomon, with a most solemn 
injunction to build the temple. 



2. 
God. 



Jehovah, the covenant-name of 



3. Which had been revealed to him 
by Jehovah. 



Solomon made them all of gold. 



5. That is. the cherubim them- 
selves, as they were supposed to be 
the chariot on which Jehovah rode. 
(Ps. 18:10) — "And he rode upon a 
cherub and did fly; yea. he did fly 
upon the wings of the wind." 



6. That is, conscious of the divine 
inspiration, David had committed his 
pattern to writing. 



6 And he said unto me, Sol'o-mon thy son, 
he shall build my house and my courts: for I 
have chosen him to be my son, and I will be 
his father. 

7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for 
ever, if he be constant to do my ^command- 
ments and my judgments, as at this day. 

8 Now therefore in the sight of all is'ra-el 
the congregation of the Lord, and in the audi- 
ence of our God, keep and seek for all the 
commandments of the Lord your God: that 
ye may possess this good land, and leave it for 
an inheritance for your children after you 
for ever. 

9 f And thou, Sol'o-mon my son, know thou 
the God of thy father, and serve him »with a 
perfect heart and with a willing mind: for 
the 2 Lord ''searcheth all hearts, and under- 
standeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: 
if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but 
if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for 
ever. 

10 Take 'heed now; for the Lord hath chosen 
thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be 
strong, and do it. 

11 11 Then 3 Da'vid gave to S51'o-mon his son 
■'the pattern of the A 'porch, and of the houses 
thereof, and of the treasures thereof, and of 
the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner 
parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy 
seat, 

12 And the pattern of all that he had by the 
spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, 
and of all the chambers round about, of the 
treasuries of the house of God, and of the 
treasuries of the dedicated things: 

13 Also for the courses of the priests and 
the Le'vites, and for all the work of the service 
of the house of the Lord, and for all the ves- 
sels of service in the house of the Lord. 

14 He gave of gold by weight for things of 
gold, for all instruments of all manner of serv- 
ice; silver also for all instruments of silver by 
weight, for all instruments of every kind of 
service : 

15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of 
gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight 
for every candlestick, and for the lamps there- 
of: and for the candlesticks of 4 silver by 
weight, both for the candlestick, and also for 
the lamps thereof, according to the use of 
every candlestick. 

16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables 
of shewbread, for every table; and likewise 
silver for the tables of silver: 

17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the 
bowls, and the cups: and for the golden 
basons he gave gold by weight for every bason ; 
and likewise silver by weight for every bason 
of silver: 

18 And for the altar of incense refined gold 
by weight; and gold for the pattern of the 
r 'chariot of the cherubim, that spread out their 
wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of 
the 2 Lord. 

19 All this, said Da'vid, the 2 Lord made me 
understand in writing 6 by his hand upon me, 
even all the works of this pattern. 



Chapter 28. 

a. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go 
up into my bed (3); Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation 
for the mighty God of Jacob. (Ps. 132:3, 5.) 

b. Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for 
he is holy. (Ps. 99:5.) We will go into his tabernacles; we will wor- 
ship at his footstool. (Ps. 132:7.) 

c. Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou 
build me an house for me to dwell in? (II Sam. 7:5.) Thou knowest 
how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of 
the Lord his God for the wars which were about him on every side, 
until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. (I Ks. 5:3.) 

d. Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise; thy hand 
shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall how 
down before thee. (Gen. 49:8.) 

e. So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his 
son king over Israel. (I Chr. 23:1.) Behold, a son shall be born to 
thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his 
enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give 
peace and o.uietness unto Israel in his day. (I Chr, 22:9.) 



f. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

g. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou 
come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 
(Ps. 101:2.) 

h. Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and 
do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou 
knowest (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the chil- 
dren of men). (I Ks. 8:39.) And I will kill her children with death; 
and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins 
and hearts; and I will give unto every one of you according to your 
works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

i. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of 
life. (Prov. 4:23.) 

j. And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was 
shown thee in the mount. (Ex. 25:40.) 

k. And the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the 
length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty 
cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits. (I Ks, 6;2.)

20 And Da'vid said to Sol'o-mon his son, 'Be 
strong and of good courage, and do it: fear 
not, nor be dismayed: for the 2 Lord God, even 
my God, will be with thee; '"he will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished 
all the work for the service of the house of 
the 2 Lord. 

21 And, behold, the courses of the priests 
and the Le'vltes, even they shall be with thee 
for all the service of the house of God: and 
there shall be with thee for all manner of 
workmanship every willing skilful man, for any 
manner of service: also the princes and all the 
people will be wholly at thy commandment. 

CHAPTER 29. 
1 David causeth the princes and people to offer 
' willingly. 20 The people make Solomoyi 
king. 26 David's reign and death. 

1 'Furthermore Da'vid the king said unto 
all the congregation, Sol'o-mon my son, whom 
alone God hath chosen, is yet young and len- 
der, and the work is great: for the palace is 
not for man, but for the 2 Lord God. 

2 Now I have prepared with all my might 
for the house of my God the gold for things to 
be made of gold, and the silver for things of 
silver, and the brass for things of brass, the 
iron for things of iron, and wood for things 
of wood; 6 onyx stones, and stones to be set, 
glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all 
manner of precious stones, and marble stones 
in abundance. 

3 Moreover, because I have ''set my affection 
to the house of my God, I have of mine ^own 
proper good, of gold and silver, which I have 
given to the house of my God, over and above 
all that I have prepared for the holy house, 

4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the 
gold of s O'phir, and seven thousand talents of 
refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses 
withal : 

5 The gold for things of gold, and the sil- 
ver for things of silver, and for all manner 
of work to be made by the hands of artificers. 
And who then is willing to consecrate his serv- 
ice this day unto the 2 Lord? 

6 If Then the chief of the fathers and princes 
of the tribes of Is'ra-el, and the captains of 
thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of 
the king's work, offered willingly,

7 And gave for the service of the house of 
God of gold five thousand talents and ten thou- 
sand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, 
and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one 
hundred thousand talents of iron. 

8 And they with whom precious stones were 
found gave them to the treasure of the house 
of the Lord, by the hand of Je-hi'el the Ger'- 
shon-ite. 

9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they 
'offered willingly, because with perfect heart 
they offered willingly to the 2 Lord : and Da'vid 
the king also rejoiced with great joy. 

10 If Wherefore Da'vid blessed the Lord be- 
fore all the congregation: and Da'vid said, 
^Blessed be thou, "Lord God of Is'ra-el our 
father, for ever and ever. 

11 Thine, #0 2 Lord, is the greatness, and 
the power, and the glory, and the victory, and 
the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and 
in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, 
O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above 
all. 

12 Both riches ''and honour come of thee, and 
thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is 
power and might; and in thine hand it is to 
make great, and to give strength unto all. 

13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, 
and praise thy glorious name. 

14 But who am I, and what is my people, 
that we should be able to offer so willingly 
after this sort? for all things come of thee, 
and of thine own have we sriven thee. 

15 For 'we are strangers before thee, and 
sojourners, as were all our fathers: ^'our days 
on the earth are as a shadow, and there is 
none abiding. 

16 O 2 Lord our God, all this store that we 
have prepared to build thee an house for thine 
holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all 
thine own. 

17 I know also, my God, that thou ''triest 
the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. 
As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I 
have willingly offered all these things : and now 
have I seen with joy thy people, which are 
present here, to offer willingly unto thee. 

18 O 2 Lord God of A'bra-ham, I'saac, and of 
Is'ra-el, our fathers, keep 4 this for ever in the 
imagination of the thoughts of the heart of 
thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee: 



1. And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight 
of all Israel, Be strong and of good courage; for thou must go with 
this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers 
to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. (Dt. 31:7.) Then 
shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judg- 
ments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong, 
and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. (I Chr. 22:13.) 

m. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the 
days of thy life; as I was with Moses so I will be with thee: I will not 
fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) And he shall deliver their 
kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under 
heaven; there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have 
destroyed them. (Dt. 7:24.) 

Chapter 29. 

a. And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king in- 
stead of David my father; and I am but a little child; I know not how 
to go out or come in. (I Ks. 3:7.) For I was my father's son, tender 
and only beloved in the sight of my mother. (Prov. 4:3.) 

b. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the 
names of the children of Israel (Ex. 28:9.) Our holy and our beauti- 
ful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire; and 
all our pleasant things are laid waste (11). Wilt thou refrain thyself 
for these things, O Lord? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very 
sore? (Is. 64:11, 12.) 

c. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place 
where thine honor dwelleth. (Ps. 26:8.) How amiable are thy taber- 
nacles, O Lord of hosts! (Ps. 84:1.) 

d. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov. 3:3.) Bring ye all the tithes into the 
storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now 
herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of 
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room 
enough to receive it. (Mai. 3:10.) 

e. Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to 
walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments as at this day. 
(I Ks. 8:61.) Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, 
which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom. (II Chr. 
9:7.) 

f. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth won- 
drous things. (Ps. 72:18.) Then the spirit took me up, and I heard be- 



hind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the 
Lord from his place. (Ezek. 3:12.) 

g. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For 
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 
(Mat. 6:13.) Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only 
wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (I Tim. 1:17.) 
And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth, and under the 
earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I say- 
ing, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth 
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. (Rev. 5:13.) 

h. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that 
giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant 
which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. (Dt. 8:18.) The 
blessing of the Lord it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 
(Prov. 10:22.) For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things; 
to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (Rom. 11:36.) Every good gift and 
every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of 
lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Ja. 
1:17.) 

i. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy 
peace at my tears; for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as 
all my fathers were. (Ps. 39:12.) These all died in faith, not having 
received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were per- 
suaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were 
strangers and pilgrims on the earth. (Heb. 11:13.) Dearly beloved, I 
beseech you, as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which 
war against the soul. (I Pet. 2:11.) 

j. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; he fleeth also 
as a shadow, and continueth not. (Job 14:2.) For all our days are 
passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 
(Ps. 90:9.) My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am with- 
ered like grass. (Ps. 102:11.) Man is like to vanity; his days are as 
a shadow that passeth away. (Ps. 144:4.) 

k. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance. 
or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him; for the 
Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appear- 
ance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) Neither is 
there any creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are 
naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 
(Heb. 4:13.)

19 And 'give unto Sol'o-mon my son a per- 
fect heart, to keep thy '"commandments, thy 
testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all 
these things, and to build the palace, for the 
which "I have made provision. 

20 If And Da'vid said to all the congrega- 
tion, Now bless the = Lord your God. And all 
the congregation blessed the 2 Lord God of their 
fathers, and bowed down their heads, and wor- 
shipped the Lord, and the king. 

21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the 
-Lord, and offered burnt "'offerings unto the 
= Lord, on the morrow after that day, even a 
thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a 
thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and 
sacrifices in abundance for all Is'ra-el: 

22 And did eat and drink before the "Lord 
on that day with great • gladness. And they 
made Sol'o-mon the son of Da'vid king the 
"second time, and anointed him unto the Lord 
to be the chief governor, and Za'dok to be 
priest. 

23 Then Sol'o-mon sat on the throne of the 
Lord as king instead of Da'vid his father, and 
prospered; and all is'ra-el obeyed him. 



5. The sacrifice to be completely 
burned as a sweet savor to Jehovah, 
offered when one was in the mood of 
grief or apprehension, to secure pro- 
tection against threatened danger or 
disaster. 



6. He was first anointed hastily, 
because of Adonijah's attempt to 
usurp the throne (I Ks. 1:5-49). 



24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, 
and all the sons likewise of king Da'vid, sub- 
mitted themselves unto Sol'o-mon the king. 

25 And the Lord magnified S51'o-mon ex- 
ceedingly in the sight of all Is'ra-el, and be- 
stowed °upon him such royal majesty as had 
not been on any king before him in Is'ra-el. 

26 If Thus Da'vid the son of Jes'se reigned 
over all Is'ra-el. 

27 And the time that he reigned over Is'- 
ra-el was forty years; seven years reigned he 
in He'bron, and thirty and three years reigned 
he in Je-ru/sa-lem. 

28 And he died in a good old age, full of 
days, riches, and honour: and Sol'o-mon his 
son reigned in his stead. 

29 Now the acts of Da'vid the king, first and 
last, behold, they are written in the book of 
Sam'u-el the seer, and in the book of Na'than 
the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer, 

30 With all his reign and his might, and 
the times that went over him, and over Is'ra-el, 
and over all the kingdoms of the countries. 



I. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance 
doth hehold the upright. (Ps. 11:7.) They that are of a froward heart 
are abomination to the Lord; but such as are upright in their way are 
his delight. (Prov. 11:20) 

m. See e, ch. 13. I Sam. 

n. Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of 
the Lord an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand 



talents of silver: and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in 
abundance; timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add 
thereto. (I Chr. 22:14.) 

0. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both 
riches and honor; so that there shall not be any among the kings like 
unto thee all thy days. (I Ks. 3:13.) So I was great, and increased more 
than all that were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained 
with me. (Ecc. 2:9.) 



THE SECOND BOOK OF THE 

CHRONICLES 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The offering of Solomon at Gibeon. 7 Solo- 
mon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God. 
13 Solomon's strength and wealth. 

1 'And "Sol'o-mon the son of 4 Da'vid was 
strengthened in his kingdom, and the "Lord 
"his God was with him, and magnified him ex- 
ceedingly. 

2 Then 'Sol'o-mon spake unto all Is'ra-el, to 
the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and 
to the judges, and to every governor in all 
Is'ra-el, the chief of the fathers. 

3 So Sol'o-mon, and all the congregation 
with him, went to the high place that was at 
Gib'e-on; for there was the tabernacle of the 
congregation of God, which Mo'§e§ the servant 
of the "Lord had made in the wilderness. 

4 But the ark of God had 4 Da'vid brought 
up from Kir'jath-je'a-rim to the place which 
Da'vid had prepared for it: for he had pitched 
a tent for it at Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Be-zal'- 
e-el the son of U'ri, the son of Hur had made, 
he put before the tabernacle of the "Lord: and 
'Sol'o-mon and the congregation sought unto it. 

6 And Sol'o-mon went up thither to the bra- 
sen altar before the "Lord, which was at the 
tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a 
thousand burnt ^offerings upon it. 

7 If In 6 that night did God appear unto 'Sol'- 
o-mon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall 
give thee. 

8 And Sol'o-mon said unto God, Thou hast 
shewed great mercy unto Da'vid my father, 
and hast made me to reign in his stead. 

9 Now, 2 Lord God, let thy promise unto 
Da'vid my father be established : c f or thou hast 
made me king over a people like the dust of 
the earth in multitude. 

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that 
I may ''go out and come in before this people: 
for who can judge this thy people, that is so 
great? 

11 And God c said to 3 S61'o-mon, Because this 
was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked 
riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine 
enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but 
hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, 
that thou mayest judge my people, over whom 
I have made thee king: 

12 Wisdom and knowledge ^is granted unto 
thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, 
and honour, such as none of the kings have 
had that have been before thee, neither shall 
there any after thee have the like. 

13 II "Then Sol'o-mon came from his journey 
to the high place that was at Gib'e-on to Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, from before the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, and reigned over Is'ra-el. 

14 And Sol'o-mon gathered chariots and 
horsemen : and he had a thousand and four 
hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horse-

trees made he as the sycomore trees that are 
in the vale for abundance. 

16 And Sol'o-mon had horses brought out of 
E'gypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants 
received the linen yarn at a price. 

17 And they fetched up, and brought forth 
out of E'gypt a chariot for six hundred shekels 
of silver, and an horse for an hundred and 
fifty: and so brought they out horses for all 
the kings of the Hit'tltes, and for the kings of

1, 17 Solomon's labourers for the building of 
the temple. 3 His embassage to Huram for 
workmen and provision of stuff. 

1 'And "Sol'o-mon "determined to build an 
house for the name of the 'Lord, and an house 
for his kingdom. 

2 And "Sol'o-mon told out threescore and ten 
thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore 
thousand to hew in the mountain, and three 
thousand and six hundred to oversee them. 

3 If And "Sol'o-mon sent to Hu'ram the king 
of Tyre, saying, 6 As thou didst deal with Da'- 
vid my father, and didst send him cedars to 
build him an house to dwell therein, even so 
deal with me. 

4 Behold, I build an house to the name of 
the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and 
to burn before him sweet incense, and for the 
continual shewbread, and for the ( 'burnt offer- 
ings morning and evening, on the sabbaths 
and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts 
of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance 
for ever to Is'ra-el. 

5 And the house which I build is great: 
for ''great is our God above all gods. 

6 But who c is able to build him an house, 
seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens can- 
not contain him? who am I then, that I should 
build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice 
before him? 

7 Send me now therefore a man 4 cunning to 
work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and 
in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, 
and that can skill to grave with the cunning 
men that are with me in Ju'dah and in Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, whom Da'vid my father did provide. 

8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and 
algum trees, out of Leb'a-non : for I know 
that thy servants can skill to cut timber in 
Leb'a-non; and, behold, my servants shall be 
with thy servants, 

9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: 
for the house which I am about to build shall 
be wonderful great. 

10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants. 



Ref. II Chronicles. Chapter 1. 

a. And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all 
Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on 
any king before him in Israel. (I Chr. 29:25.) 

b. In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; 
and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. (I Ks. 3:5.) Trust in the 
Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 
(Prov. 3:5.) 

c. And now, Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king in- 
stead of David my father; and I am but a little child; I know not how 
to go out or come in. (I Ks. 3:7.) 

d. Which may go out before them, and which may go in before 
them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in: 
that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shep- 
herd. (Num. 27:17.) I am an hundred and twenty years old this day: 
I can no more go out and come in; also the Lord hath said unto me, 
Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. (Dt. 31:2.) 

e. And God said unto him ; Because thou hast asked this thing, and 
hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thy- 
self, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies: but hast asked for thy- 
self understanding to discern judgment. (I Ks. 3:11.) 

i. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and 



all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) The young lions 
do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the Lord shall not want 
any good thing. (Ps. 34:10.) But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; 
and all these things shall be added unto you. (Luke 12:31.) For bodily 
exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having 
promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. (I Tim. 
4:8.) 

g. And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and 
cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the vale, for 
abundance. (I Ks. 10:27.) Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and 
the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. (Job 22:24.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the 
Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying. Thy 
son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an 
house unto my name. (I Ks. 5:5.) 

b. Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber 
of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. (I Chr.

Lord: two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a con- 
tinual offering. (Num. 28:3.)

measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths 
of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. 

11 If Then Hu'ram the king of Tyre an- 
swered in writing, which he sent to Sol'o-mon, 
Because the "Lord hath loved his people, he 
hath made thee king over them. 

12 Hu'ram said moreover, ^Blessed be the 
3 Lord God of Is'ra-el, "that made heaven and 
earth, who hath given to Da'vid the king a wise 
son, endued with prudence and understanding, 
that might build an house for the Lord, and 
an house for his kingdom. 

13 And now I have sent a °cunning man, en- 
dued with understanding, of Hu'ram my 
father's, 

14 The son of a woman of the daughters of 
Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful 
to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in 
iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, 
and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave 
any manner of graving, and to find out every 
device which shall be put to him, with thy cun- 
ning men, and with the cunning men of my 
lord Da'vid thy father. 

15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, 
the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath 
spoken of, let him send unto his servants: 

16 And we will cut wood out of Leb'a-non, 
as much as thou shalt need : and we will bring 
it to thee in flotes by sea to Jop'pa; and thou 
shalt carry it up to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

17 If And Sol'o-mon numbered all the 
strangers that were in the land of Is'ra-el, 
after the numbering wherewith ?1 Da'vid his 
father had numbered them; and they were 
found an hundred and fifty thousand and three 
thousand and six hundred. 

18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of 
them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore 
thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and 
three thousand and six hundred overseers to 
set the people a work.

of the 2 Lord at Je-ru'sa-lem in mount Mo-ri'- 
ah, where the Lord appeared unto Da'vid his 
father, in the place that Da'vid had prepared 
in the threshingfloor of Or'nan the Jeb'u-site.

overlaid it within with pure gold. 

5 And the greater house he cieled with fir 
tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set 
thereon palm trees and chains. 

6 And he garnished the house with precious 
stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of 
Par-va'im. 

7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the 
posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors 
thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on 
the walls. 

8 4 And he made the most holy house, the 
length whereof was according to the breadth 
of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth 
thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with 
fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 

9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shek- 
els of gold. And he overlaid the upper cham- 
bers with gold. 

10 And in the most holy house he made two 
cherubim of image work, and overlaid them 
with gold.

twenty cubits long : one wing of the one cherub 
was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the 
house: and the other wing was likewise five 
cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. 

12 And one wing of the other cherub was 
five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: 
and the other wing was five cubits also, join- 
ing to the wing of the other cherub. 

13 The wings of these cherubim spread 
themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood 
on their feet, and their faces were inward. 

14 5 And he made the d vail of blue, and 
purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and 
wrought cherubim thereon. 

15 Also he made before the house r two pil- 
lars of thirty and five cubits high, and the 
chapiter that was on the top of each of them 
was five cubits. 

16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, 
and put them on the heads of the pillars; and 
made an hundred pomegranates, and put them 
on the chains. 

17 And he reared up the pillars before the 
temple, one on the right hand, and the other 
on the left; and called the name of that on the 
right hand Ja'chin, and the name of that on 
the left Bo'az.

who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 
(Ex. 15:11.) For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he also 
is to be feared above all gods. (I Chr. 16:25.) 

e. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and 
heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that 
I have builded? (I Ks. 8:27.) 

f. And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, 
that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, which 
hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. (I Ks. 5:7.) 

g. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen. 
1:1.) Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and 
earth. (Ps. 124:8.) Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and 
earth, and the sea, and all that in them is. (Acts 4:24.) And sware by 
him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things 
that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and 
the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no 
longer. (Rev. 10:6.) 

h. And David commanded to gather together the strangers that 
were In the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones 
to build the house of God. (I Chr. 22:2.) 



Chapter 3. 

a. And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after 
the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth 
year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Zif, which is the 
second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord. (I Ks. 6:1.) 

b. And the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the 
length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty 
cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits. (I Ks. 6:2.) 

c. And the porch before the temple ot the house, twenty cubits was 
the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten 
cubits was the breadth thereof before the house. (I Ks. 6:3.) 

d. And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
fine twined linen, of cunning work; with cherubim shall it be made, 
(Ex. 26:31.) And, behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain from 
the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. 
(Mat. 27:51.) And alter the second vail, the tabernacle which is called 
the Holiest of all. (Heb. 9:3.) 

e. And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen 
cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness 
thereof was four fingers; it was hollow. (Jer. 52:21.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And he made a molten sea ten cubits from the one brim to the 
other; it was round all about, and its height was five cubits; and a

cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty 
cubits did compass it round about. 

3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, 
which did compass it round about: ten in a 
cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two 
rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 

4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking 
toward the north, and three looking toward 
the west, and three looking toward the south, 
and three looking toward the east: and the 
sea was set above upon them, and all their 
hinder parts were inward. 

5 And the thickness of it was an hand- 
breadth, and the brim of it like the work of 
the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it 
received and held ''three thousand baths. 

6 1i 2 He made also c 'ten lavers, and put five on 
the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in 
them : such things as they offered for the burnt 
offering they washed in them; but the sea was 
for the priests to wash in. 

7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold ac- 
cording to their form, and set them in the 
temple, five on the right hand, and five on 
the left. 

8 He d made also ten tables, and placed them 
in the temple, five on the right side, and five 
on the left. And he made an hundred basons 
of gold. 

9 11 Furthermore he made the court of the 
priests, and the great court, and doors for the 
court, and overlaid the doors of them with 
brass. 

10 And e he set the sea on the right side of 
the east end, over against the south. 

11 And Hu'ram made the pots, and the 
shovels, and the basons. And Hu'ram finished 
the work that he was to make for king Sol'o- 
mon for the house of God; 

12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, 
and the chapiters which were on the top of the 
two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the 
two pommels of the chapiters which were on 
the top of the pillar's; 

13 And four hundred pomegranates on the 
two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on 
each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the 
chapiters which were upon the pillars. 

14 He made also bases, and lavers made he 
upon the bases; 

15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 

16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the 
fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Hu'- 
ram ^his father make to king Sol'o-mon for 
the house of the 3 Lord of bright brass. 

17 In the plain of Jor'dan did the king cast 
them, in the clay ground between Siic'coth and 
Ze-red'a-thah. 

18 Thus Sol'o-mon made all these vessels 
in great abundance: for the weight of the 
brass could not be found out. 

19 1i And S51'o-mon made all the vessels that 
were for the house of God, the golden altar 
also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was 
set; 

20 Moreover the candlesticks with their 
lamps, that they should burn after the manner 
before the oracle, of pure gold;

spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the 
entry of the house, the inner doors thereof

house of the temple, were of gold.

1 The dedicated treasures. 2 The solemn in- 
duction of the ark into the oracle. 11 God 
giveth a visible sign of his favour. 

1 'Thus "all the work that Sol'o-mon made 
for the house of the 2 Lord was finished: and 
Sol'o-mon brought in all the things that Da'vid 
his father had dedicated; and the silver, and 
the gold, and all the instruments, put he 
among the treasures of the house of God. 

2 1f 3 Then Sol'o-mon assembled the elders of 
is'ra-el, and all the heads of the tribes, the 
chief of the fathers of the children of Is'ra-el, 
unto Je-ru'sa-lem, to bring up the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord ''out of the city of Da'- 
vid, which is ZFon. 

3 Wherefore all the men of Is'ra-el assem- 
bled themselves unto the king in the feast 
which was in the seventh month. 

4 And all the elders of is'ra-el came; and 
the c Le'vites took up the ark. 

5 And they brought up the ark, and the tab- 
ernacle of the congregation, and all the holy 
vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did 
the priests and the Le'vltes bring up. 

6 Also king Sol'o-mon, and all the congrega- 
tion of Is'ra-el that were assembled unto him 
before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which 
could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 

7 And the priests brought in the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord unto his place, to the 
oracle of the house, into the most holy place, 
even under the wings of the cherubim: 

8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings 
over the place of the ark, and the cherubim 
covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 

9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, 
that the d ends of the staves were seen from 
the ark before the oracle; but they were not 
seen without. And there it is unto this day. 

10 There was nothing in the ark save the 
two tables which Mo'se§ put ^therein at Ho'- 
reb, when the Lord made a covenant with the 
children of is'ra-el, when they came out of 
Egypt. 

11 U And it came to pass, when the priests 
were come out of the holy place: (for all the 
priests that were present were sanctified, and 
did not then wait by course : 

12 Also the Le'vltes which were the singers, 
all of them of A'saph, of He'man, of Jed'u- 
thun, with their sons and their brethren, being 
arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and 
psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of 
the altar, and with them an hundred and 
twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) 

13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters 
and singers were as one, to make one sound to 
be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; 



b. And it was an band breadth thick, and the brim thereof was 
wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two 
thousand baths. (I Ks. 7:26.) 

c. Then made be ten lavers of brass; one laver contained forty 
baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon every one of the 
ten bases one laver. (I Ks. 7:38.) 

d. And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house 
of the Lord; the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the 
showbread was. (I Ks. 7:48.) 

e. And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five 
on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of 
the house eastward over against the south. (I Ks. 7:39.) 

f. He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father 
was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom, 
and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he 
came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work (14). And the pots, 
and the shovels, and the basons; and all these vessels, which Hiram 
made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass. 
(I Ks. 7:14. 15.) 



Chapter 5. 

a. So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the 
house of the Lord. And Solomon brought in the things which David his 
father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did 
he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord. (I Ks. 7:51.) 

b. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house 
of Obededom into the city of David with gladness. (II Sam. 6:12.) 

c. And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of 
the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the 
ark of the covenant and went before the people. (Josh. 3:6.) 

d. And they drew out the staves, that the end of the staves were 
seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen 
without; and there they are unto this day. There was nothing in the 
ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when 
the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came 
out of the land of Egypt. (I Ks. 8:8, 9.) 

e. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first 
tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. (Dt. 
10:2.) And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the 
Lord, that he made with the children of Israel. (II Chr. 6:11.)

and "when they lifted up their voice with the 
trumpets and cymbals and instruments of

is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: 
that then the house was filled with a cloud,

that he would dwell in the (: thiek darkness. 

2 But I have built an house of habitation 
for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. 

3 And the king turned his face, and blessed 
the whole congregation of Is'ra-el: and all the 
congregation of Is'ra-el stood. 

4 And he said, Blessed be the "Lord God of 
Is'ra-el, who hath with his hands fulfilled that 
which he spake with his mouth to my father 
Da'vid, saying, 

•5 Since the day that I brought forth my 
people out of the land of E'gypt I chose no city 
among all the tribes of Is'ra-el to build an 
house in, that my name might be there; neither 
chose I any man to be a ruler over my people 
Is'ra-el : 

6 But I have chosen Je-ru'sa-lem, that_ my 
name might be there; and have 6 chosen Da'vid 
to be over my people Is'ra-el. 

7 Xow it was in the heart of Da'vid my 
father to build an house for the name of the 
2 Lord God of Is'ra-el. 

8 But the Lord said to Da'vid my father, 
Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build 
an house for my name, thou didst well d in j 
that it was in thine heart: 

9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the 
house; but thy son which shall come forth 
out of thy loins, he shall build the house for 
my name. 

10 The Lord therefore hath performed his 
word that he hath spoken : for I am risen up in ( 
the room of Da'vid my father, and am set on 1 
the throne of Is'ra-el, as the ^Lord promised, \ 
and have built the house for the name of the 
Lord God of Is'ra-el.

12 ' And he stood before the altar of the 
Lord in the -presence of all the congregation 
of is'ra-el, and -spread forth his hands: 

13 For Sol'o-mon had made a brasen scaf-

and three cubits high, and had set it in the 
midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and 
kneeled down upon his knees before all the 
congregation of Is'ra-el, and spread forth his 
hands toward heaven.

hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this 
day. 

16 Now therefore, = Lord God of Is'ra-el, 
keep with thy servant Da'vid my father that 
which thou hast promised him, saying, There 
shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit 
upon the throne of Is'ra-el; 'yet so that thy 
children take heed to their way to walk in 
my law. as thou hast walked before me. 

1 1 Now then, O "Lord God of is'ra-el, let 
thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken 
unto thy servant Da'vid. 

18 But will God in very deed dwell with 
men on the earth? behold, heaven and the 

heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how 
much less this house which I have built! 

19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of 
thy servant, and to his supplication, ; Lord 
my God, to hearken unto the cry and the 
prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee: 

20 That thine ? -'eyes may be open upon this 
house day and night, upon the place whereof 
thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy 
name there; to hearken unto the prayer which 
thy servant ? prayeth toward this place. 

21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications 
of thy servant, and of thy people is'ra-el, 
which they shall make toward this place: hear 
thou from thy dwelling place, even from heav- 
en; and when thou hearest, "'forgive.

to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were 
fulfilled. (Rev. 15:S.)

to be the ruler. (I Chr. 2S:4.) 

c. David said to Nathan the prophet. Lo, I dwell in an house of 
cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under cur- 
tains. (I Chr. 17:1.) Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, 
I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the cov- 
enant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready 
fcr the building. (I Chr. 28 .

e. At the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness: and 
having rent my garment and my mantle. I fell upon my knees, and 
spread out my hands unto the Lord my God. (Ezra 9:5.) And then 
shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the 
spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his com- 
ing. (II Thc-s. 1 

f. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like 



thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Ex. 15:11.) 
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord 
he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none

the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that 
love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. (Dt. 
7:9.) 

g. And I prayed unto the Lord my God. and made my confession, and

j. But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and 
heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should 
build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him? (II Chr. 
2:6.) Thus saith the Lord. The heaven is my throne, and the earth 
is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where

1 God having- given testimony to Solomon's 
prayer by fire from heaven, and glory in the 
temple, the people worship him. 4 Solo- 
mon's solemn sacrifice. 12 God appearing 
to Solomon giveth him promises upon condi- 
tion. 

1 J Now 2 when Sol'o-mon had made an end 
of praying, the "fire came down from heaven, 
and consumed the burnt offering and the sac- 
rifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the 
house. 

2 And the priests could not enter into the 
house of the 2 Lord, because the glory of the 
Lord had filled the 2 Lord's house. 

3 And when ail the children of Is'ra-el saw 
how the fire came down, and the glory of the 
2 Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves 
with their faces to the ground upon the pave- 
ment, and worshipped, and praised the ! Lord, 
saying, For he is good; h ior his mercy en- 
dureth for ever. 



n. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the reward 
of his hands shall be given hirn. (Is. 3:11.) But unto them that are 
contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indig- 
nation and wrath. (Rom. 2:8.) 

o. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy 
sight ; that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear 
when thou judgest. (Ps. 51:4.) Father. I have sinned against heaven, 
and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. (Luke 
15:21.) 

p. Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the 
Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every 
one grass in the field. (Zech. 10:1.) 

q. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the 
Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the 
thoughts; if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou for- 
sake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) The Lord is in 
his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his 
eyelids try, the children of men. (Ps. 11:4.) Look not on his counte- 
nance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him; for 
the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward ap- 
pearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) 

r. Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may 
be before your faces, that ye sin not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord 
is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do 
his commandments; his praise endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Fear 
God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 
(Eec. 12:13.) That all the people of the earth might know the hand of 



the Lord, that it is mighty; that ye might fear the Lord your God for 
ever. (Josh. 4:24.) 

s. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my 
sin? (Prov. 20:9.) For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth 
good, and sinneth not. (Ece. 7:20.) If we say that we have no sin, we 
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (I Jno. 1:8.) 

t. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, 
and I will hearken unto you. (Jer. 29:12.) 

u. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my 
God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath 
covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh 
himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jew- 
els. (Is. 61:10.) 

v. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and 
nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord 
thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. (Is. 
55:5.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And there came a fire out frtSm before the Lord, and consumed 
upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the peo- 
ple saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. (Lev. 9:24.) Then the 
fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, 
and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the 
trench. (I Ks. 18:38.) 

b. And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed sing- 
ers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as 
they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his 
mercy endureth for ever. (II Chr. 20:21.) It came even to pass, as the

4 r : Then the king and all the people offered 
sacrifices before the "Lord. 

•5 And king: Sol'o-mon offered a sacrifice of 
twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hun- 
dred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king 
and all the people dedicated the house of God. 

6 And the priests waited on their offices: 
the Le'vrtes also with instruments of musick 
of the T.ord, which Da'vid the king had made 
to praise the "Lord, because his mercy endureth 
for ever, when Da'vid praised by their minis- 
try; and the priests sounded trumpets before 
them, and all Is'ra-el stood. 

7 Moreover Sol'o-mon hallowed the middle 
of the court that was before the house of the 
^Lord : for there he offered burnt off erings, and 
the fat of the peace offerings, because the 
brasen altar which Sol'o-mon had made was 
not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the 
meat offerings, and the fat. 

8 r Also at the same time Sol'o-mon kept the 
feast seven days, and all Is'ra-el with him, a 
very great congregation, from the entering in 
of Ha'math unto the river of E gypt. 

9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn 
assembly: for they kept the dedication of the 
altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 

10 And on the three and twentieth day of 
the seventh month he sent the people away 
into their tents, glad and merry in heait for 
the goodness that the "Lord had shewed unto 
Da'vid, and to Sol'o-mon, and to Is'ra-el his 
people. 

11 Thus Sol'o-mon finished the house of the 
"Lord, and the king's house: and all that came 
into Sol'o-mon's heart to make in the house 
of the 2 Lord, and in his own house, he pros- 
perously effected. 

12 r4 And the TLord ^'appeared to Sol'o-mon 
by night and said unto him, I have heard thy 
prayer, and have chosen this place to myself 
for an house of sacrifice. 

13 If I shut up heaven that there be no 
rain, or if I command the locusts to devour 
the land, or if I send pestilence among my 
people; 

14 If my people, which are called by my 
name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and 
seek my face, and turn from their wicked 
ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will 
forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 

15 Xow mine eyes shall be open, and mine 
ears attent unto the prayer that Is made in 
this place. 

16 For now have I chosen and sanctified 
this house, that my name may be there for 
ever : and mine eyes and mine heart shall be 
there perpetually. 

17 And as for thee, if d thou wilt walk be- 
fore me, as Da'vid thy father walked, and do 
according to all that I have commanded thee, 
and shalt observe my statutes and my judg- 
ments ; 

18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy 
kingdom, according as I have covenanted with 
Da'vid thy father, saying, There shall not fail 
thee a man to be ruler in Is'ra-el.

out of my land which I have given them; and 
this house, which I have sanctified for my 
name, will I cast out of my sight, and will 
make it to be a proverb and a byword among 
all nations. 

21 And this house, which is high, shall be 
an astonishment to every one that passeth by 
it; so that he shall say, ? Why hath the "Lord 
done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 

22 And it shall be answered, Because they 
forsook the "Lord God of their fathers, which 
brought them forth out of the land of E'gypt, 
and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped 
them, and served them: therefore ?hath he 
brought all this evil upon them.

years, wherein = S61'o-mon had built the house 
of the "Lord, and his own house, 

2 That the cities which Hu'ram had restored 
to Sol'o-mon, "Sol'o-mon built them, and caused 
the children of Is'ra-el to dwell there. 

3 And "Sol'o-mon went to Ha'math-zo'bah, 
and prevailed against it. 

4 And he built Tad'mor in the wilderness, 
and all the store cities, which he built in Ha'- 
math. 

5 Also he built Beth-ho'ron the upper, and 
Beth-ho'ron the nether, fenced cities, with 
walls, gates, and bars; 

6 And Ba'al-ath, and all the store cities that 
^Sol'o-mon had, and all the chariot cities, and 
the cities of the horsemen, and all that Sol'- 
o-mon desired to build in Je-ru'sa-lem, and in 
Leb'a-non, and throughout all the land of his 
dominion. 

7 r As for all the people that were left of 
the Hit'tites, and the Am'or-ites, and the Per'- 
iz-zites, and the Hl'vites, and the Jeb'u-sites, 
which were not of Is'ra-el, 

8 But of their children, who were left after 
them in the land, whom the children of is'- 
ra-el consumed not, them did 2 Sol'o-mon make 
to pay tribute until this day. 

9 But of the children of Is'ra-el did Sol'o- 
mon make no servants for his work; but they 
were men of war, and chief of his captains, and 
captains of his chariots and horsemen. 

10 And these were the chief of king -Sol'o- 
mon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that 
bare rule over the people. 

11 *~ And "SSl'o-mon ''brought up the daugh- 
ter of Pharaoh out of the city of Da'vid unto 
the house that he had built for her: for he 
said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of 
Da'vid king of Is'ra-el, because the places are 
holy, whereunto the ark of the Lord hath 
come. 

12 r Then "Sol'o-mon offered burnt offerings 



trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard 
in praising and thanking the Lcrd: and when they lifted up their 
voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and 
praised the Lord, saying. For he is good: for his mercy endureth for 
ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of 
the Lord. (IT Chr. 5:13.) 

c. And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will 
I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who 
appeared unto him. (Gen. 12:7.) And when Abram was ninety years 
old and nine, the Lord appeared to> Abram. and said unto him, I am the 
Almighty God: walk before me, and be thou perfect. (Gen. 17:1.) 

d. And if thou wilt walk before me. as David thy father walked, in 
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I 
have commanded thee, and wilt keep mv statutes and my judgments.

e. If thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. to 
observe to do all his commandments and h'"s statutes, which I com- 
mand thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and 
overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) Yea, all Israel hath transgressed thy law, 



even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice: therefore the 
curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law o£ 
Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. (Dan. 
9:11.) 

f. And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say 
every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto 
this great city? (Jer. 22:8.) 

g. Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed 
them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah oniy. 
(II Ks. 17:18.) But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised 
his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose 
against his people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.)

a. And his house where he dwelt had another court within the 
porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for 
Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

18 And Hu'ram sent him by the hands of 
his servants ships, and servants that had 
knowledge of the sea; and they went with the 
servants of 2 S61'o-mon to O'phir, and took 
thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, 
and brought them to king Sol'o-mon. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of 
Solomon. 13 Solomon's gold. 15 His tar- 
gets. 17 The throne of ivory. 20 His ves- 
sels. 23 His presents. 25 His chariots and 
horse. 26 His tribute. 29 His reign and 
death. 

1 2 And a when the queen of She'ba heard of 
the fame of Sol'o-mon, she came to prove 2 S61'- 
o-mon with hard questions at Je-ru'sa-lem, 
with a very great company, and camels that 
bare spices, and gold in abundance, and 
precious stones: and when she was come to 
Sol'o-mon, she communed with him of all that 
was in her heart. 

2 And "Sol'o-mon told her all her questions: 
and there was nothing hid from Sol'o-mon 
which he told her not. 

3 And when the queen of She'ba had seen 
the wisdom of Sol'o-mon, and the house that 
he had built, 

4 And the meat of his table, and the sitting 
of his servants, and the attendance of his 
ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers 
also, and their apparel; and his ascent by 
which he went up into the house of the Lord; 
there was no more spirit in her. 

5 And she said to the king, It was a true 
report which I heard in mine own land of 
thine acts, and of thy wisdom: 

6 Howbeit I believed not their words, until 
I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, be- 
hold, the one half of the greatness of thy

Queen of Sheba to Solomon. It is 
stated that one of the chief features 
which won the admiration of the 
Queen of Sheba was the magnificent 
arched viaduct that crossed the val- 
ley from Mt. Zion to the opposite 
hill, through which Solomon went into 
the house of the Lord. This arch was 
about 350 ft. long and 130 ft. high 
and was one of the greatest wonders 
in Jerusalem.

wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest 
the fame that I heard. 

7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these 
thy servants, which stand continually before 
thee, and hear thy wisdom. 

8 Blessed & be the 3 Lord thy God, which de- 
lighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be 
king for the 3 Lord thy God: because thy God 
loved Is'ra-el, to establish them for ever, there- 
fore made he thee king over them, to do judg- 
ment and justice. 

9 And she gave the king an hundred and 
twenty talents of gold, and of spices great 
abundance, and precious stones : neither was 
there any such spice as the queen of She'ba 
gave king "Sol'o-mon. 

10 And the servants also of Hu'ram, and the 
servants of Sol'o-mon, which brought gold 
from O'phir, brought algum trees and precious 
stones. 

11 And the king made of the algum trees 
terraces to the house of the 3 Lord, and to the 
king's palace, and harps and psalteries for 
singers: and there were none such seen before 
in the land of Ju'dah. 

12 And king 2 Sol'o-mon gave to the queen 
of She'ba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, 
beside that which she had brought unto the 
king. So she turned, and went away to her 
own land, she and her servants. 

13 H 4 Now the weight of gold that came to 
Sol'o-mon in one year was six hundred and 
threescore and six ^talents of gold; 

14 Beside that which chapmen and mer- 
chants brought. And all the c kings of A-ra'- 
bi-a and governors of the country brought gold 
and silver to Sol'o-mon. 

15 1 And king "Sol'o-mon made two hundred 
targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of 
beaten gold went to one target. 

16 And three hundred shields made he of 
beaten gold': three hundred shekels of gold 
went to one shield. And the king put them in 
the house of the forest of Leb'a-non. 

17 Moreover the king made a great throne 
of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 

18 And there were six steps to the throne, 
with a footstool of gold, which were fastened 
to the throne, and stays on each side of the 
sitting place, and two lions standing by the 
stays : 

19 And twelve lions stood there on the one 
side and on the other upon the six steps. There 
was not the like made in any kingdom. 

20 % And all the drinking vessels of king 
Sol'o-mon were of gold, and all the vessels of 
the house of the forest of Leb'a-non were of 
pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any 
thing accounted of in the days of Sol'o-mon. 

21 For the king's ships went to ''Tar'shish 
with the servants of Hu'ram : every three years 
once came the ships of Tar'shish bringing gold, 
and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 

22 And king 2 S61'o-mon r passed all the kings 
of the earth in riches and wisdom. 

23 11 And all the kings of the earth sought 



b. Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs 
of the first year day by day continually. (Ex. 29:38.) And thou shalt 
say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer 
unto the Lord; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for 
a continual burnt offering (3). And on the sabbath day two lambs of 
the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat 
offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof (9). And in 
the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the 
Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year 
without spot. (Num. 28:3, 9, 11.) 

c. Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. (Ex. 
23:14.) Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the 
Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of un- 
leavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of taber- 
nacles. (Dt. 16:16.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon 
concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard 
questions. (I Ks. 10:1.) The queen of the south shall rise up in the judg- 
ment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the 



uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, be- 
hold, a greater than Solomon is here. (Mat. 12:42.) 

b. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who only doeth won- 
drous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever; and let the 
whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen. (Ps. 72:18, 19.) 

c. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents 
unto thee. (Ps. 68:29.) The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall 
bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. (Ps. 72:10.) 
All they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense; and 
they shall show forth the praises of the Lord. (Is. 60:6.) 

d. All things were made by him; and without him was not any 
thing made that was made. (Jno. 1:3.) Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, 
ye inhabitants of the isle (6). Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for your 
strength is laid waste. (Is. 23:6, 14.) 

e. Behold, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given 
thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like 
thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And 
I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and 
honor; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee 
all thy days. (I Ks. 3:12, 13.)

that God had put in his heart. 

24 And they brought every man his present, 
vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and rai- 
ment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, 
a rate year by year. 

25 H And Sol'o-mon had four thousand stalls 
for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand 
horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot 
cities, and with the king at Je-ru'sa-lem. 

26 H And he ^reigned over all the kings from 
^the river even unto the land of the Phi-lis'- 
tine§, and to the border of E'gypt. 

27 And the king made silver in Je-ru'sa-lem 
as stones, and cedar trees made he as the syco- 
more trees that are in the low plains in abun- 
dance. 

28 And they brought unto "Sol'o-mon horses 
out of E'gypt, and out of all lands. 

29 1! Now the rest of the acts of Sol'o-mon, 
first and last, are they not written in the book 
of Na'than the prophet, and in the prophecy 
of A-hi'jah the Shi lo-nite, and in the visions 
of Id'dd the seer against Jer-o-bo'am the son 
of Ne'bat? 

30 And "Sol'o-mon reigned in Je-ru'sa-lem 
over all Is'ra-el forty years. 

31 And 2 S61'o-mon slept with his fathers, 
and he was buried in the city of Da'vid his 
father: and Re-ho-bo'am his son reigned in 
his stead. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 The Israelites, assembled at Shechem to 
crown Rehoboam, by Jeroboam make a suit 
of relaxation unto him. 6 Rehoboam an- 
swereth them roughly. 16 Ten tribes re- 
volting kill Hadoram and make Rehoboam to 
flee. 

1 *And Re-ho-bo'am went to She'chem: for 
to She'chem were all Is'ra-el come to make 
him king. 

2 And it came to pass, when Jer-o-bo'am the 
son of Ne'bat, who was in E'gypt, whither he 
had fled from the presence of S51'o-mon the 
king, heard it, that Jer-o-b5'am returned out 
of E'gypt. 

3 And they sent and called him. So Jer-o- 
bo'am and all Is'ra-el came and spake to Re- 
ho-bo'am, saying, 

4 Thy father made our °yoke grievous: now 
therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous 
servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke 
that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 

5 And he said unto them, Come again unto 
me after three days. And the people departed. 

6 f And king Re-ho-bo'am took counsel with 
the old men that had stood before Sol'o-mon 
his father while he yet lived, saying, What 
counsel give ye me to return answer to this 
people? 

7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou 
be kind to this people, and please them, and 
speak good words to them, they will be thy 
servants for ever. 

8 But he ''forsook the counsel which the old 
men gave him, and took counsel with the young 
men that were brought up with him, that stood 
before him. 



Ch. 10. B. C. 975. 



1. NOTE. — Beginning with ch. 10, 
and extending to ch. 36. is given a 
history of the kingdom of Judah. It 
should be observed that the per- 
manency of the kingdom of Judah 
is one of the marvels of history which 
can be explained only from the fact 
of the interposition of Jehovah. While 
other kingdoms fell, it remained. 
Revolutions swept over all nations, 
dynasties after dynasties crumbled, 
yet it flourished. The great Assyrian 
Empire developed, oppressed both Is- 
rael and Judah and was finally over- 
thrown, yet the kingdoms of 'judah, 
with a descendant of David on the 
throne, maintained its individuality 
unbroken, resolute and hopeful; and 
finally, after its fall under Nebu- 
chadnezzar and the 70 years of exile, 
we find the scattered Judeans coming 
back to the fatherland, rebuilding 
their temple and capital, still guided 
and governed by a descendant of the 
house of David. Ch. 10 is a direct 
parallel with I Ks. 12:1-19.

9 And he said unto them, What advice give 
ye that we may return answer to this people, 
which have spoken to me, saying, Ease some- 
what the yoke that thy father did put upon 
us? 

10 And the young men that were brought 
up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus 
shalt thou answer the people that spake unto 
thee, saying, Thy father made our "yoke heavy, 
but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; 
thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger 
shall be thicker than my father's loins. 

11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke 
upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my 
father chastised you with whips, but I will 
chastise you with scorpions. 

12 So Jer-o-bo'am and all the people came 
to Re-ho-bo'am on the third day, as the king 
bade, saying, Come again to me on the third 
day. 

13 And the king answered c them roughly; 
and king Re-ho-bo'am forsook the counsel of 
the old men, 

14 And answered them after the advice of 
the young men, saying, My father made your 
yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father 
chastised you with whips, but I will chastise 
you with scorpions. 

15 So the king hearkened not unto the peo- 
ple: for d the cause was of God, that the Lord 
might perform his word, which he spake by 
the hand of A-hi'jah the Shi'lo-nite to Jer-o- 
bo'am the son of Ne'bat. 

16 II And when all Is'ra-el saw that the king 
would not hearken unto them, the people an- 
swered the king, saying, What portion have 
we in Da'vid? and we have none inheritance 
in the son of Jes'se: every man to your tents, 

Is'ra-el : and now, Da'vid, see to thine own 
house. So all Is'ra-el went to their tents. 

17 But as for the children of Is'ra-el that 
dwelt in the cities of Ju'dah, Re-ho-bo'am 
reigned over them. 

18 Then king Re-ho-bo'am sent Ha-do'ram 
that was over the tribute; and the children 
of Is'ra-el stoned him with stones, that he died. 
But king Re-ho-b5'am made speed to get him 
up to his chariot, to flee to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

19 And Is'ra-el rebelled against the house 
of Da'vid unto this day. 

CHAPTER 11. 

1 Rehoboam, raising an army to subdue Israel, 
is forbidden by Shemaiah. 13 The priests 
and Levites strengthen the kingdom of Ju- 
dah. 18 The wives and children of Reho- 
boam. 

1 a And when Re-ho-bo'am was come to Je- 
ru'sa-lem, he gathered of the house of Ju'dah 
arid Ben'ja-min an hundred and fourscore 
thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to 
fight against ls'ra-ek that he might bring the 
kingdom again to Re-ho-bo'am. 

2 But the word of the 2 Lord came to Shem- 
a-i'ah the man of God, saying, 

3 Speak unto Re-ho-bo'am the son of Sol'o- 
mon, king of Ju'dah, and to all Is'ra-el in 
Ju'dah and Ben'ja-min, saying,

f. And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the 
land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought 
presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life. (I Ks. 4:21.) 

g. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, 
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the 
great river, the river Euphrates. (Gen. 15:18.) He shall have dominion 
also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 
(Ps. 72:8.) 

Chapter in. 

a. This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: 
He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, 
and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. And 
he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; 
and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to 
make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. And he 
will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to 
be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your 
olive-yards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. (I 
Sam. 8:11-14.) And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bear 



burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains. (I Ks. 
5:15.) And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised: 
for to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Millo, and 
the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo and Gezer. (I Ks. 
9:15.) 

b. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but a compan- 
ion of fools shall be destroyed. (Prov. 13:20.) Who knoweth whether he 
shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor 
wherein I have labored, and wherein I have shown myself wise unto 
the son. This is also vanity. (Ecc. 2:19.) 

c. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips; but the 
just shall come out of trouble. (Prov. 12:13.) A wise man feareth. and 
departeth from evil; but tlie fool rageth, and is confident. (Prov. 14 :lfi. I 

d. But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it 
unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people 
alive. (Gen. 50:20.) Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your breth- 
ren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing 
is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the Lord, and 
returned to depart, according to the word of the Lord. (I Ks. 12:24.)

captains in them, and store of victual, and of 
oil and wine. 

12 And in every several city he put shields 
and spears, and made them exceeding strong, 
having Ju'dah and Ben'ja-min on his side. 

13 If 4 And the priests and the Le'vites that 
were in all is'ra-el resorted to him out of all 
their coasts. 

14 For the Le'vites left their suburbs and 
their possession, and came to Ju'dah and Je- 
ru'sa-lem: for Jer-o-bo'am and his sons had 
cast them off from executing the priest's office 
unto the 2 Lord: 

15 And he ordained him priests for the high 
places, and for the ^devils, and for the calves 
which he had made. 

16 And after them out of all the tribes of 
is'ra-el such as r 'set their hearts to seek the 
2 Lord God of Is'ra-el came to Je-ru'sa-lem, to 
sacrifice unto the "Lord God of their fathers. 

17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Ju'- 
dah, and made Re-ho-bo'am the son of Sol'o- 
mon strong, three years: for three years they 
walked in the way of Da'vid and S51'o-mon. 

18 *f 6 And Re-ho-bo'am took him Ma'ha-lath 
the daughter of Jer'i-moth the son of Da'vid 
to wife, and Ab-i-ha'il the daughter of E-H'ab 
the son of Jes'se; 

19 Which bare him children; Je'ush, and 
Sham-a-rl'ah, and Za'ham. 

20 And after her he took Ma'a-chah the 
daughter of Ab'sa-lom; which bare him A-bi'- 
jah, and At'tai, and Zi'za, and Shel'o-mith. 

21 And Re-ho-b5'am loved Ma'a-chah the 
daughter of Ab'sa-lom above all his wives and 
his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, 
and threescore concubines; and begat twenty 
and eight sons, and threescore daughters.) 

22 And Re-ho-bo'am made A-bi'jah the son 
of Ma'a-chah the chief, to be ruler among his 
brethren: for he thought to make him king. 

23 And he dealt 7 wisely, and dispersed of 
all his children throughout all the countries of 
Ju'dah and Ben'ja-min, unto every fenced city: 
and he gave them victual in 8 abundance. And 
he desired many 9 wives.

King of Egypt (Shishak) was prepar-

had established the kingdom, and had strength- 
ened himself, "he forsook the law of the "Lord, 
and all Is'ra-el with him. 

2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year 
of king Re-ho-bo'am Shi'shak king of E'gypt 
came up against Je-ru'sa-lem, because they had 
transgressed against the "Lord, 

3 With twelve hundred chariots, and three- 
score thousand horsemen : and the people were 
without number that came with him out of 
E'gypt; the Lu'bim§, the s Suk'ki-im§, and the 
E-thi-6'pi-ans. 

4 And he took the fenced cities which per- 
tained to Ju'dah, and came to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5 II Then came 4 Shem-a-I'ah the prophet to 
Re-ho-bo'am, and to the princes of Ju'dah, that 
were gathered together to Je-ru'sa-len» because 
of Shi'shak, and said unto them, Thus saith 
the 2 Lord, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore 
have I also left you in the hand of Shi'shak. 

6 Whereupon the princes of Is'ra-el and the 
king ^humbled themselves; and they said, c The 
"Lord is righteous. 

7 And when the 2 Lord saw that they hum- 
bled themselves, the word of the d Lord came 
to Shem-a-i'ah, saying, They have humbled 
themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, 
but I will grant them some deliverance; and 
my wrath shall not be poured out upon Je-ru'- 
sa-lem by the hand of Shi'shak. 

8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; 
that they may know 'my service, and the serv- 
ice of the kingdoms of the countries. 

9 So Shi'shak king of E'gypt came up 
against Je-ru'sa-lem, and took away the treas- 
ures of the house of the 2 Lord, and the treas- 
ures of the king's house; he took all: he car- 
ried away also the shields of gold which S61'- 
o-mon had made. 

10 Instead of which king Re-ho-bo'am made 
shields of brass, and committed them to the 
hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the 
entrance of the king's house. 

11 And when the king entered into the house 
of the 2 Lord, the guard came and fetched them, 
and brought them again into the guard cham- 
ber. 

12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath 
of the 2 Lord turned from him, that he would 
not destroy him altogether: and also in Ju'- 
dah things went well. 

13 11 So king Re-ho-bo'am strengthened him- 
self in Je-ru'sa-lem, and reigned: for Re-ho- 
bo'am was one and forty years old when he 
began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years 
in Je-ru'sa-lem, the city which the 2 Lord had 
chosen out of all the tribes of is'ra-el, to put 
his name there. And his mother's name was 
Na'a-mah an Am'mon-It-ess. 

14 And he did evil, because he prepared not 
his heart to seek the 2 Lord. 

15 Now the acts of Re-ho-bo'am, first and 
last, are they not written in the book of Shem- 
a-i'ah the prophet, and of id'do the seer con- 
cerning genealogies? And there were wars 
between Re-ho-bo'am and Jer-o-bo'am continu- 
ally. 

16 And Re-ho-bo'am slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in the city of Da'vid: and 
A-bi'jah his son reigned in his stead. 



Chapter 11. 

a. See e, ch. 13, I Sam. 

b. And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after 
whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto 
them throughout their generations. (Lev. 17:7.) But I say, that the 
things which the Gentiles sacrificed, they sacrificed to devils, and not 
to God; and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. (I 
Cor. 10:20.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked 
him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all 
that their fathers had done. For they also built them high places, and 
images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. 
And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to 
all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the 
children of Israel. (I Ks. 14:22-24.) 



b. When he slew them, then they sought him; and they returned 
and enquired early after God. (Ps. 78:34.) Humble yourselves in the 
sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (Js. 4:10.) 

c. And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto 
them, I have sinned this time; the Lord is righteous, and I and my 
people are wicked. (Ex. 9:27.) 

d. And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he hum- 
bleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his 
son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. (I Ks. 21:28, 29.) 

e. Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and 
with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things. Therefore 
shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, 
in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things; 
and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed 
thee. (Dt. 28:47, 48.)

CHAPTER 13. 
1 Abijah succeeding maketh war against Jer- 
oboam. 4 He declareth the right of his 
cause. 13 Trusting in God, he overcometh 
Jeroboam. 21 The wives and children of 
Abijah. 

1 'Now in the eighteenth year of king Jer-o- 
bo'am began A-bi'jah to reign over Ju'dah. 

2 He reigned three years in Je-ru'sa-lem. 
His mother's name also was Mi-cha'iah the 
daughter of U'ri-el of Glb'e-ah. And there was 
war between A-bi jah and Jer-o-bo'am. 

3 And A-bi'jah set the battle in array with 
an army of valiant men of war, even four 
hundred thousand chosen men : Jer-o-bo'am 
also set the battle in array against him with 
eight hundred thousand chosen men, being 
mighty men of valour. 

4 r And A-bi'jah stood up upon mount Zem- 
a-ra'im, which is in mount E'phra-im. and said, 
Hear me. thou Jer-o-bo'am, and all Is'ra-el; 

5 Ought ye not to know that the "Lord God 
of Is'ra-el a gave the kingdom over Is'ra-el to 
Da'vid for ever, even to him and to his sons 
by a covenant 3 of salt? 

6 Yet *Jer-o-bo'am the son of Ne'bat, the 
servant of Sol'o-mon the son of Da'vid, is risen 
up, and hath rebelled against his lord. 

7 And there are gathered unto him vain 
men, the children of Be'li-al, and have 
strengthened themselves against Re-ho-bo'am 
the son of Sol'o-mon, when Re-ho-bo'am was 
young and tenderhearted, and could not with- 
stand them. 

8 And now ye think to withstand the king- 
dom of the "Lord in the hand of the sons of 
Da'vid; and ye be a great multitude, and there 
are with you golden calves, which jer-o-bo'am 
f made you for gods. 

9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the 
: Lord, the sons of Aar'on, and the Le'vites, 
and have made you priests after the manner 
of the nations of other lands? so that whoso- 
ever cometh to consecrate himself with a young 
bullock and seven rams, the same may be a 
priest of them that are no gods. 

10 But as for us, the = Lord is our God, and 
we have not forsaken him; and the priests, 
which minister unto the Lord, are the sons of 
Aar'on, and the Le'vites wait upon their busi- 
ness: 

11 And they burn unto the = Lord every 
morning and every evening burnt sacrifices 
and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they 
in order upon the pure table; and the candle- 
stick of gold with the lamps thereof, d to burn 
every evening: for we keep the charge of the 
Lord our God; but ye have forsaken him. 

12 And, behold, God ^himself is with us for 
our captain, and his priests with sounding 
trumpets to cry alarm against you. children 
of Is'ra-el, fight ye not against the "Lord God 
of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. 

13 % But Jer-o-bo'am caused an ambushment 
to come about behind them: so they were be- 
fore Ju'dah, and the ambushment was behind 
them. 

14 And when Ju'dah looked back, behold, the

account of Abijah's reign than its 
parallel. I Ks. 15:1-S. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of

3. The memorial of God's covenant 
with man was the meat offering, 
which could not be offered without 
salt. (Lev. 2:13) — '"And every obla- 
tion of thy meat offering shalt thou 
season with salt; neither shalt thou 
suffer the salt of the covenant of thy 
God to be lacking from thy meat 
offering: with all thine offerings thou 
shalt offer salt."' Salt was the sym- 
bol of incorruptibility and was. there- 
fore, equivalent to a holy and in- 
violable covenant (Xum. 1S:19). 



4. The number of killed and 
wounded during the war. 



5. There is no record where Jero- 
boam died suddenly, therefore what 
is meant here, doubtless, was the 
fearful prophecy of Abijah (I Ks. 14:

battle was before and behind: and they cried 
unto the "Lord, and the priests sounded with 
the trumpets. 

15 Then the men of Ju'dah gave a shout: 
and as the men of Ju'dah shouted, it came to 
pass, that God smote Jer-o-bo'am and all is'- 
ra-el before A-bi'jah and Ju'dah. 

16 And the children of is'ra-el fled before 
Ju'dah: and God delivered them into their 
hand. 

17 And A-bi'jah and his people slew them 
with a great slaughter: so there fell down 
slain of is'ra-el five 'hundred thousand chosen 
men. 

18 Thus the children of is'ra-el were brought 
under at that time, and the children of Ju'dah 
prevailed, ''because they relied upon the "Lord 
God of their fathers. 

19 And A-bi'jah pursued after Jer-o-b5'am, 
and took cities from him, Beth'-el with the 
towns thereof, and Jesh'a-nah with the towns 
thereof, and E'phra-im with the towns thereof 

20 Neither did Jer-o-bo'am recover strength 
again in the days of A-bi'jah: and the "Lord 
struck "him, and he died. 

21 r But A-bi'jah waxed mighty, and mar- 
ried fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two 
sons, and sixteen daughters. 

22 And the rest of the acts of A-bi'jah, and 
his ways, and his sayings, are written in the 
"story of the prophet Id'do. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Asa succeeding destroyeth idolatry. 9 Call- 
ing on God, he overthroweth Zerah, and 
spoileih the Ethiopians. 

1 So A-bi'jah slept with his fathers, and 
they buried him in the city of Da'vid: and 
A'sa his son reigned in his stead. In his days 
the iand was quiet ten years. 

2 And A'sa did that which was °good and 
right in the eyes of the 2 Lord his God : 

3 For he took away the altars of the strange 
gods, and the high "places, and brake Mown 
the images, and cut down the groves: 

4 And commanded Ju dah to seek the Lord 
God of their fathers, and to do the law and the 
commandment. 

5 Also he took away out of all the cities of 
Ju'dah the high places and the images: and 
the kingdom was quiet before him. 

6 r And he built fenced cities in Ju'dah : for 
the land had rest, and he had no war in those 
years; because the 2 Lord had given him rest. 

7 Therefore he said unto Ju'dah, Let us build 
these cities, and make about them walls, and 
towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet 
before us; because we have sought the "Lord 
our God, we have sought him. and he hath 
given us rest on every side. So they built and 
prospered._ 

8 And A'sa had an army of men that bare 
targets and spears, out of Ju'dah three hun- 
dred thousand; and out of Ben'ja-min, that 
bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and 
fourscore thousand : all these were mighty men 
of valour. 

9 "["And there came out against them Zerah 
the E-thi-o'pi-an with an host of a thousand 



Chapter 13. 

a. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy 
fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of 
thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house 
for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 
(II Sam. 7:12, 13.) 

b. All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of 
Israel offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy 
daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for 
ever before the Lord unto thee, and to thv seed with thee. (Num. 
1S:19.) 

c. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, 
and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: be- 
hold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee tip out of the land of Egypt. 
(I Ks. 12:28.) For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; there- 
fore it is not God; but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 
(Hos. 8:6.) 



d. And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring 
thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn al- 
ways. In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is 
before the testimony, Aaron and his son shall crder it from evening to 
morning before the Lord; it shall be a statute for ever unto their gen- 
erations on the behalf of the children of Israel. (Ex. 27:20, 21.) 

e. For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for 
you against your enemies, to save you. (Dt. 20:4.1 Some trust in char- 
iots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord 
our God. (Ps. 20:7.)

and were not confounded. (Ps. 22:5.)

thousand, and three hundred chariots; and 
came unto Ma-re'shah. 

10 Then A'sa went out against him, and 
they set the battle in array in the valley of 
Zeph'a-thah at Ma-re'shah. 

11 And A'sa 'cried unto the 2 Lord his God, 
and said, "Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, 
whether with many, or with them that have 
no power: help us, "Lord our God; for we 
rest on thee, and ri in thy name we go against 
this multitude. 2 Lord, thou art our God; 
let not man prevail against thee. 

12 So the 2 Lord smote the r 'E-thi-o'pi-an§ be- 
fore A'sa, and before Ju'dah; and the E-thi-6'- 
pi-an§ fled. 

13 And A'sa and the people that were with 
him pursued them unto Ge'rar: and the E-thi- 
o'pi-an§ were overthrown, that they could not 
recover themselves; for they were destroyed 
before the 2 Lord, and before his host; and they 
carried away very much spoil. 

14 And they smote all the cities round about 
Ge'rar; for f the fear of the 2 Lord came upon 
them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there 
was exceeding much spoil in them. 

15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and 
carried away sheep and camels in abundance, 
and returned to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER 15. 

1 Asa with Judah and many of Israel make a 
solemn covenant with God. 16 He putteth 
down Maachah his mother for her idolatry. 
18 He bringeth dedicated things into the 
house of God. 

1 And the a Spirit of God came upon *Az-a- 
ri'ah the son of O'ded: 

2 And he went out to meet 3 A'sa, and said 
unto him, Hear ye me, A'sa, and all Ju'dah 
and Ben'ja-min; 6 The 2 Lord is with you, while 
ye be with him; and c if ye seek him, he will 
be found of you ; but d if ye forsake him, he will 
forsake you. 

3 Now for a long season Is'ra-el hath been 
without the true God, and without a teaching 
priest, and without law. 

4 But c when they in their trouble did turn 
unto the "Lord God of Is'ra-el, and sought him, 
he was found of them. 

5 And in those times there was no peace to 
him that went out, nor to him that came in, 
but great vexations were upon all the inhabit- 
ants of the countries. 

6 And ^nation was destroyed of nation, and 
city of city: for God did vex them with all 
adversity. 

7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your 
hands be weak: for your work shall be ^re- 
warded. 



5. That is. by inspiring his own 
people and striking with terror the 
enemy.

1. This is the only mention of 
Azariah; he was a member of the 
school of prophets. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. It should be observed how care- 
fully Jehovah times his opportunities 
of admonishing his people. Asa had 
just returned from a victory which 
was manifestly gained by the help of 
Jehovah. How appropriate then was 
the occasion for admonishing him that 
Jehovah's mercies were conditional 
upon obedience to his law. 



4. Vs. 8-19. reforms of Asa and 
renewal of the covenant; the require- 
ments of the ancient law (Ex. 22:20). 
"He that sacriflceth unto any God 
save unto, the Lord only, he shall be 
utterly destroyed." 



8 4 And when A'sa heard these words, and 
the prophecy of O'ded the prophet, he took 
courage, and put away the abominable idols 
out of all the land of Ju'dah and Ben'ja-min, 
and outof the cities which he had taken from 
mount E'phra-im, and renewed the altar of the 
Lord, that was before the porch of the 2 Lord. 

y And he gathered all Ju'dah and Ben'ja- 
min, and the strangers with them out of 
E'phra-im and Ma-nas'seh, and out of Sim- 
e-on: for they fell to him out of Is'ra-el in 
abundance, when they saw that the 2 Lord his 
God was with him. 

10 So they gathered themselves together at 
Je-ru'sa-lem in the third month, in the fif- 
teenth year of the reign of Asa. 

11 And they offered unto the 2 Lord the 
same time, of the spoil which they had brought, 
seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 

12 And they ''entered into a covenant to seek 
the 2 Lord God of their fathers with all their 
heart and with all their soul; 

13 That 'whosoever would not seek the 
: Lord God of Is'ra-el should be put to death, 
whether small or great, whether man or 
woman. 

14 And they sware unto the 2 Lord with a 
loud voice, and with shouting, and with trum- 
pets, and with cornets. 

15 And all Ju'dah rejoiced at the oath: for 
they had sworn with all their heart, and sought 
him with their whole desire; and he was found 
of them: and the Lord gave them rest round 
about. 

16 If And also concerning Ma'a-chah the 
mother of A'sa the king, he removed her from 
being queen, because she had made an idol in 
a grove: and A'sa cut down her idol, and 
stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kid'ron. 

17 But the high places were not taken away 
out of Is'ra-el: nevertheless the heart of A'sa 
was perfect all his days. 

18 If And he brought into the house of God 
the things that his father had dedicated, and 
that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, 
and vessels. 

19 And there was no more war unto the five 
and thirtieth year of the reign of A'sa. 

CHAPTER 16. 

1 Asa by the aid of the Syrians, diverteth Ba- 
asha from building of Ramah. 7 Being re- 
proved thereof by Hanani, he putteth him in 
prison. 13 His death and burial. 
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign 
of A'sa Ba'a-sha king of Is'ra-el came up 
against Ju'dah, and built Ra'mah, to the intent 
that he might let none go out or come in to 
A'sa king of Ju'dah. 



c. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up 
their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they 
were sore afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord. 
(Ex. 14:10.) They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they trusted in 
thee, and were not confounded. (Ps. 22:5.) 

d. But I come to fhee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of 
the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. (I Sam. 17:45.) The name 
of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is 
safe. (Prov. 18:10.) The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trou- 
ble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. (Nan. 1:7.) 

e. And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities 
that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons 
of Jacob. (Gen. 35:5.) There shall no man be able to stand before 
you; for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of 
you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. 
(Ot. 11:25.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his 
tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him. 
(Num. 24:2.) 

b. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your 
hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (Js. 
4:8.) He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen per- 
verseness in Israel; the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a 
king is among them. (Num. 23:21.) Be strong and of a good courage, 
fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth 
go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee (6). And the Lord, 
he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail 
thee, neither forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed. (Dt. 31:6, 8.) 
(See II Chr., ch. 13, v. 12.) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the 



shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and 
thy staff they comfort me. (Ps. 23:4.) Fear thou not; for I am with thee; 
be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will 
help thee. (Is. 41:10.) 

c. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the 
Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of 
the thoughts; if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou 
forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) And ye shall 
seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 
(Jer. 29:13.) 

d. And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada 
the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus 
saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye 
cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also for- 
saken you. (II Chr. 24:20.) 

e. But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt 
find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 
(Dt. 4:29.) 

f. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against king- 
dom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in 
divers places. (Mat. 24:7.) 

g. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the right- 
eous; verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. (Ps. 58:11.) 

h. And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the 
Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his 
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and with all their soul, 
to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. 
And all the people stood to the covenant. (II Ks. 23:3.) 

i. He that sacriflceth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he 
shall be utterly destroyed. (Ex. 22:20:)

2 Then A'sa brought out silver and gold out 
of the treasures of the house of the I Lord and 
of the king's house, and sent to Ben-ha'dad 
king of Syr'i-a, that dwelt at Da-mas'cus, say- 
ing, 

3 There is a league between me and thee, as 
there was between my father and thy father: 
behold, I have sent the silver and gold; go, 
break thy league with Ba'a-sha king of Is'ra-el, 
that he may depart from me. 

4 And Ben-ha'dad hearkened unto king 
A'sa, and sent the captains of his armies 
against the cities of Is'ra-el; and they smote 
I'jon, and Ban, and A'bel-ma'im, and all the 
store cities of Naph'ta-li. 

•5 And it came to pass, when Ba'a-sha heard 
it, that he left off building of Ra'mah, and let 
his work cease. 

6 Then Asa the king took all Ju'dah; and 
they carried away the stones of Ra'mah, and 
the timber thereof, wherewith Ba'a-sha was 
building; and he built therewith GeTsa and 
Miz'pah. 

7_*~ And at that time Ha-na'nl the seer came 
to Asa king of Ju'dah, and said unto him, 
c Because thou hast relied on the king of Syr'- 
i-a, and not relied on the ^ord thy God, there- 
fore is the host of the king of Syr'i-a escaped 
out of thine hand. 

8 Were not the E-thi-6'pi-ans and the Lu'- 
bims a 'huge host, with very many chariots 
and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on 
the ^Lord, he delivered them into thine hand. 

9 For the 6 eyes of the ""Lord run to and fro 
throughout the whole earth, to shew himself 
strong in the behalf of them whose heart is 
perfect toward him. Herein thou hast c done 
foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt 
have wars. 

10 Then A'sa was wroth with the seer, and 
put him in a prison house; for he was in a 
rage with him because of this thing. And 
A'sa oppressed some of the people the same 
time. 

11 *~ And, behold, the acts of A'sa, first and 
last, lo, they are written in the book of the 
kings of Ju'dah and Is'ra-el. 

12 And A'sa in the thirty and ninth year of 
his reign %as diseased in his feet, until his 
disease was exceeding great : yet in his disease 
he sought not to the Lord, but to the phy- 
sicians. 

13 r And A'sa slept with his fathers, and 
died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 

14 And they buried him in his own sepul- 
chres, which he had made for himself in the 
city of David, and laid him in the bed which 
was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds 
of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: 
and they made a very 2 great burning for him.

1 "And Je-hosh'a-phat his son reigned in his 
stead, and strengthened himself against Is'- 
ra-el. 

2 And he placed forces in all the fenced 
cities of Ju'dah, and set garrisons in the land 
of Ju'dah, and in the cities of E'phra-Im, 
which A'sa his father had taken. 

3 And the "Lord was with a Je-hosh'a-phat, 
because he walked in the first ways of his 
father Da'vid, and sought not unto Ba'al-Im; 

4 But sought to the -Lord God of his father, 
and talked in his commandments, and not 
after the doings of Is'ra-el. 

5 Therefore the "Lord stablished the king- 
dom in his hand; and all Ju'dah brought to 
Je-hosh'a-phat presents; and he had riches and 
honour in abundance. 

6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways 
of the : Lord : c moreover he took away the high 
places and groves out of Ju'dah. 

7 f Also in the third year of his reign he 
sent to his princes, even to Ben-ha'il, and to 
O-ba-di'ah, and to Zech-a-iTah, and to Ne- 
than'e-el, and to Mi-cha'iah, to teach in the 
cities of Ju'dah. 

8 And with them he sent Levites, even 
Shem-a-i'ah, and Neth-a-ni'ah, and Zeb-a-di'ah, 
and A'sa-hel, and She-mir'a-moth, and Je- 
hon'a-than, and Ad-o-ni'jah, and To-bi'jah, and 
T6b-ad-o-ni jah, Levites; and with them 
E-lish'a-ma and Je-ho'ram, priests. 

9 And they ^taught in Ju'dah, and had the 
book 3 of the law of the : Lord with them, and 
went about throughout all the cities of Ju'dah, 
and taught the people. 

10 r And the e f ear of the Lord fell upon all 
the kingdoms of the lands that were round 
about Ju'dah, so that they made no war against 
Je-hosh a-phat. 

11 Also some of the Phi-lis'tines brought Je- 
hosh'a-phat presents, and tribute silver; and 
the A-ra'bi-ans brought him flocks, seven thou- 
sand and seven hundred rams, and seven thou- 
sand and seven hundred he goats. 

12 f And Je-hosh'a-phat waxed great ex- 
ceedingly; and he built in Ju'dah castles, and 
cities of store. 

13 And he had much business in the cities 
of Ju'dah: and the men of war, mighty men 
of valour, were in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14 And these are the numbers of them ac- 
cording to the house of their fathers: Of Ju'- 
dah, the captains of thousands; Ad'nah the 
chief, and with him mighty men of valour three 
hundred ^thousand. 

15 And next to him was Je-ho-ha'nan the 
captain, and with him two hundred and four- 
score thousand. 

16 And next him was Am-a-si'ah the son of 
Zich'ri, who willingly offered himself unto the 
c Lord; and with him two hundred thousand 
mighty men of valour. 

17 And of Ben'ja-min; E-li'a-da a mighty 
man of valour, and with him armed men with 
bow and shield two hundred thousand. 

18 And next him was Je-hoz'a-bad, and with

a. Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help: and stay on horses, 
and trust in chariots, because they are many: and in horsemen, because 
they are very strong: but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, 
neither seek the Lord! (Is. 31:1.) Cursed be the man that trusteth in 
man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the 
Lord. (Jer. 17:5.) 

b. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and 
the good. (Prov. 15:3.) 

c. And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast 
not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded 
thee; for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon 
Israel for ever. (I Sam. 13:13.) 

d. The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, 
and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the 
sword, and with blasting, and with mildew: and they shall pursue thee 
until thou perish. (Dt. 28:22.) Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, 
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

ran be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 



b. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the com- 
mandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. (Luke 1:6.) I be- 
seech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in 
truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy 
sight. (II Ks. 20:3.) 

c. And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father: he turned not 
aside from it. doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord: 
nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered 
and burnt incense yet in the high places. (I Ks. 22:43.) See 19:3. 

d. And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes 
which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. (Lev. 
10:11.) For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should 
seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of 
hosts. (Mai. 2:7.) 

e. And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities 
that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons 
of Jacob. (Gen. 35:5.) There shall no man be able to stand before you 
for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you 
upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. 
(Dt. 11:25.) And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the 
fear of the Lord came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for 
there was exceeding much spoil in them. (II Chr. 14:14.)

him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready 
prepared for the war. 

19 These waited on the king, beside those 
whom the king put in the fenced cities through- 
out all Ju'dah. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is 
persuaded to go with him against Ramoth- 
gilead. 33 Ahab is slain there. 

1 a Now Je-hosh'a-phat "had riches and hon- 
our in abundance, and 6 joined affinity with 
A'hab. 

2 And after cei-tain yearshe went down to 
A'hab to Sa-ma'ri-a. And A'hab killed sheep 
and oxen for him in abundance, and for the 
people that he had with him, and persuaded 
him to go up with him to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

3 3 And A'hab king of Is'ra-el said unto Je- 
hosh'a-phat king of Ju'dah, Wilt thou go with 
me to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad? And he answered 
him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy 
people; and we will be with thee in the war. 

4 r And Je-hosh'a-phat said unto the king 
of Is'ra-el, Enquire, f 'I pray thee, at the word 
of the : Lord to day. 

5 Therefore the king of Is'ra-el gathered to- 
gether of prophets four hundred men, and said 
unto them, Shall we go to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad to 
battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go 
up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand. 

6 But Je-hosh'a-phat said. Is there not here ! 
a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might 
enquire of him? 

7 And the king of Is'ra-el said unto Je- 
hosh'a-phat, There is yet one man, by whom we 
may enquire of the Lord: but I hate him; for 
he never prophesied good unto me, but always 
evil: the same is Mi-ca'iah the son of Im'la. 
And Je-hosh'a-phat said, Let not the king say 
so. 

8 And the king of Is'ra-el called for one of 
his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Mi-ca'iah 
vhe son of Im'la. 

9 And the king of Is'ra-el and Je-hosh'a- 
phat king of Ju'dah sat either of them on his 
throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in 
a void place at the entering in of the gate of 
Sa-ma'ri-a; and all the prophets prophesied 
before them. 

10 And Zed-e-ki'ah the son of Che-na'a-nah 
had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus 
saith the 2 Lord, With these thou shalt push 
Syr'i-a until they be consumed. 

11 And all the prophets prophesied so, say- 
ing, Go up to Ra'moth-gil'e-ad, and prosper: 
for the 2 Lord shall deliver it into the hand of 
the king.

ca'iah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words 
of the prophets declare good to the king with 
one assent ; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, 
be like one of their's, and speak thou good. 

13 And Mi-ca'iah said, As the "Lord liveth, 
d even what my God saith, that will I speak. 

14 And when he was come to the king, the 
king said_ unto him, Mi-ca'iah, shall we go to 
Ra'moth-gil'e-ad to battle, or shall I forbear? 
And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they 
shall be delivered into your hand. 

15 And the king said to him, How many 
times shall I adjure thee that thou say noth- 
ing but the truth to me in the name of the 
"Lord? 

16 Then he said, I did see all Is'ra-el scat- 
tered upon the mountains, as sheep that have 
no shepherd: and the 2 Lord said, These have 
no master; let them return therefore every 
man to his house in peace. 

17 And the king of Is'ra-el said to Je-hosh'- 
a-phat, Did I not tell thee that he would not 
prophesy good unto me, but evil? 

18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word 
of the "Lord; I e saw the : Lord sitting upon his 
throne, and all the host of heaven standing on 
his right hand and on his left. 

19 And the 2 Lord said, Who shall entice 
A'haD king of Is'ra-el, that he may go up and 
fall at Ra'moth-gil'e-ad? And one spake say- 
ing after this manner, and another saying after 
that manner. 

20 Then there came out a ''spirit, and stood 
before the Lord, and said, I will entice him. 
And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? 

21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying 
spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And 
the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou 
shalt also prevail : go out, and do even so. 

22 Now therefore, behold, #the Lord hath put 
a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy proph- 
ets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against 
thee. 

23 Then Zed-e-ki'ah the son of Che-na'a-nah 
came near, and smote Mi-ca'iah upon the cheek, 
and said, Which way went the Spirit of the 
Lord from me to speak unto thee? 

24 And Mi-ca'iah said, Behold, thou shalt 
see on that day when thou shalt go into an 
inner chamber to hide thyself. 

25 Then the king of Is'ra-el said, Take ye 
Mi-ca'iah, and carry him back to A'mon the 
governor of the city, and to Jo'ash the king's 
son; 

26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this 
fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread 
of affliction and with water of affliction, until 
I return in peace. 

27 And Mi-ca'iah said, If thou certainly re-

b. And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house 
of Ahab; for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the 
sight of the Lord. (II Ks. 8:18.) Be ye not unequally yoked together 
with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unright- 
eousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (II Chr. 
6:14.) 

c. And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his 
men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jesh- 
imon. (I Sam. 23:24.) And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who 
shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord; 
at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both 
he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation 
(Num. 27:21.) Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the 
children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, who shall go up for us 
against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? (Jud. 1:1.) And when 
Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by 
dreams, nor by Lrim, nor by prophets. (I Sam. 28:6.) And David en- 
quired at the Lord, saying, Shall J pursue after this troop? shall I 
overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely 
overtake them, and without fail recover all. (I Sam. 30:8.) And en- 
quired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom 
unto David the son of Jesse. (I Chr. 10:14.) I will instruct thee and 
teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine 
eye. (Ps. 32:8.) Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he 
shall bring it to pass. (Ps. 37:5.) Trust in the Lord with all thine 
heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways 
acknowledge him. and he shall direct thy paths. (Prov. 3:5, 6.) O 
Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man 
that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) If any of you lack wis- 



dom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and up- 
braideth not; and it shall be given him. (Js. 1:5.) 

d. If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can- 
not go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more (18). 
And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men 
come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which 
I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do (20). And the angel of the Lord 
said unto Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall 
speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the 
princes of Balak. (Num. 22:18, 20, 35.) Must I not take heed to speak 
that which the Lord hath put in my mouth? (12). But Balaam answered 
and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speak- 
eth, that I must do? (Num. 23:12, 26.) As the Lord liveth, what the 
Lord saith unto me, that will I speak. (I Ks. 22:14.) And it shall come 
to pass, that whatsoever the Lord shall answer you, I will declare it 
unto you; I will keep nothing back from you. (Jer. 42:4.) 

e. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his 
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. (Ps. 103:20.) 
For I was alive without the law once; but when the commandment 
came, sin revived, and I died. (Rom. 7:9.) 

f. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present 
themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. (Job 
1:6.) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all 
power and signs and lying wonders. (II Thes. 2:9.) 

g. With him is strength and wisdom; the deceived and the de- 
ceiver are his. (Job 12:16.) And if the prophet be deceived when he 
hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will 
stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of 
my people Israel. (Ezek. 14:9.) Let no man say when he is tempted, I 
am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither 
tempteth he any man. (Js. 1:13.)

turn in peace, then hath not the Lord spoken 
by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. 

28 So the king of Is'ra-el and Je-hosh'a-phat 
the king of Ju'dah went up to Ra moth-gil e-ad. 

29 And the king of Is'ra-el said unto Je- 
hosh'a-phat, I will disguise myself, and will go 
to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So 
the king of Is'ra-el disguised himself; and they 
went to the battle. 

30 Now the king of Syr'i-a had commanded 
the captains of the chariots that were with 
him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, 
save only with the king of Is'ra-el. 

31 And it came to pass, when the captains 
of the chariots saw Je-hosh'a-phat, that they 
said, It is the king of Is'ra-el. Therefore they 
compassed about him to fight: but Je-hosh'a- 
phat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and 
God moved ''them to depart from him. 

32 For it came to pass, that, when the cap- 
tains of the chariots perceived that it was not 
the king of Is'ra-el, they turned back again 
from pursuing him. 

33 And a certain man drew a bow at a ven- 
ture, and smote the king of Is'ra-el between the 
joints of the harness: therefore he said to his 
chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou may- 
est carry me out of the host ; for I am wounded. 

34 And the battle increased that day: how- 
beit the king of Is'ra-el stayed himself up in 
his chariot against the Syr'i-ans until the 
even : and about the time of the sun going 
down he died.

wrath upon thee from before the 4 Lord. 

3 Nevertheless there are 6 good things found 
in thee, in that thou hast taken away the 
groves out of the land, and hast prepared

and he went 3 out again through the people 
from Be'er-she'ba to mount E'phra-im, and 
brought them back unto the 4 Lord God of their 
fathers.

and of the chief of the fathers of Is'ra-el, for 
the judgment of the "Lord, and for controver- 
sies, when they returned to Je-ru'sa-lem.

ye do *in the fear of the 4 Lord, faithfully, and 
with a perfect heart. 

10 And 'what cause soever shall come to you 
of your brethren that dwell in their cities, be-

1 It came to pass after this also, that the 
children of Mo'ab, and the children of Am-

ites, came against je-hosh'a-phat to battle. 

2 Then there came some that told Je-hosh'- 
a-phat, saying. There cometh a great multi- 
tude against thee from beyond the J sea on this 
side Syr'i-a; and, behold, they be in Haz'a-zon- 
ta'mar, which is En-ge'dl. 

3 And Je-hosh'a-phat feared, and set him- 
self to seek the 2 Lord, and proclaimed a a fast 
throughout all Ju'dah. 

4 And Ju'dah gathered themselves ^together, 
to ask help of the 2 Lord: even out of all the 
cities of Ju'dah they came to seek the "Lord. 

5 r And Je-hosh'a-phat stood in the congre- 
gation of Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, in the house 
of the : Lord, before the new court, 

6 And 3 said, "Lord God of our fathers, art 
not thou °God in heaven? and ^rulest not thou

that none is able to withstand thee?

b. And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned 
from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in 
Judah things went well. (II Chr. 12:12.) 

c. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, 
and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. (Ezra 
7:10.) 

d. Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes; and they shall 
judge the people with just judgment. (Dt. 16:18.) 

e. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: but ye shall hear the 
small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man: 
for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you, bring 
it unto me, and I will hear it. (Dt. 1:17.) 

f. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth 
among the gods. (Ps. S2:l.) If thou seest the oppression of the poor. 
and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel 
not at the matter; for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; 
and there be higher than they. (Ecc. 5:8.) 

g. For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a 
great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor 
taketh reward. (Dt. 10:17.) How much less to him that accepteth not 
the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for 
they all are the work of his hands. (Job 34:19.) Of a truth I perceive 
that God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34.) For there is no re- 
spect of persons with God. (Rom. 2:11.) And. ye masters, do the same 
things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master 
also is in heaven: neither is there respect of persons with him. (Eph. 
6:9.) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? 



God forbid. (Rom. 9:14.) For all his ways are judgment; a God of 
truth, and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Dt. 32:4.) 

h. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that 
ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. (II Sam. 
23:3.) 

i. If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between 
blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, 
being matters of controversy within thy gates: then thou shalt arise, 
and get thee up into the place which the Lord thy God shall choose. 
(Dt. 17:S.) 

j. And Moses said unto Aaron. Take a censer, and put fire therein 
from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the con- 
gregation, and make an atonement for' them; for there is wrath gone 
out from the Lord; the plague is begun. (Num. 16:46.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, 
and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of 
them. (Jonah 3:5.) 

b. Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders 
and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, 
and cry unto the Lord. (Joel 1:14.) 

c. Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that 
the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath; there 
is none else. (Dt. 4:39.) 

d. For the Lord most high is terrible: he is a great King over all 
the earth. (Ps. 47:2.) To the intent that the living may know that the 
Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever 
he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Dan. 4:17.) 

e. God hath spoken once: twice have I heard this: that power be- 
longeth unto God. (Ps. 62:11.) And lead us not into temptation, but 
deliver us from evil : For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the 
glory, for ever. Amen. (Mat. 6:13.)

7 Art not thou ''our God, who didst drive out 
the inhabitants of this land before thy people 
Is'ra-el, and gavest it to the seed of A'bra-ham 
thy friend for ever? 

8 And they dwelt therein, and have built 
thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, 

9 If, "when evil cometh upon us, as the 
sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we 
stand before this house, and in thy presence, 
(for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto 
thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and 
help. 

10 And now, behold, the children of Am'mon 
and M5'ab and mount Se'ir, whom thou would- 
est not let Is'ra-el invade, when they came out 
of the land of E'gypt, but they turned from 
them, and destroyed them not; 

11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to 
come to cast us out of thy possession, which 
thou hast given us to inherit. 

12 our God, wilt thou not ''judge them? 
for 'we have no might against this great com- 
pany that cometh against us; neither know we 
what to do : J but our eyes are upon thee. 

13 And all Ju'dah stood before the Lord, 
with their little ones, their wives, and their 
children. 

14 If Then upon Ja-ha'zi-el the son of Zech- 
a-ri'ah, the son of Be-na'iah, the son of Je-i'el, 
theson of Mat-ta-ni'ah, a Le'vite of the sons 
of A'saph, came the ^'Spirit of the 2 Lord in the 
midst of the congregation; 

15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Ju'dah, and 
ye inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, and thou king 
Je-hosh'a-phat, Thus saith the 2 Lord unto you, 
'Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this 
great multitude; for the battle is not your's, 
but God's. 

16 To morrow go ye down against them: 
behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and 
ye shall find them at the end of the brook, be- 
fore the wilderness of Jer'u-el. 

17 "'Ye shall not need to fight in this battle : 
set yourselves, stand 4 y e still, and see the sal- 
vation of the 2 Lord with you, Ju'dah and Je- 
ru'sa-lem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to mor- 
row go out against them: "for the Lord will 
be with you. 

18 And Je-hosh'a-phat bowed his head with 
his face to the ground: and all Ju'dah and the 
inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem fell before the 
2 Lord, worshipping the 2 Lord. 

19 And the Le'vltes, of the children of the 
K5'hath-ites, and of the children of the Kor'- 
hites, stood up to praise the 2 Lord God of Is'- 
ra-el with a loud voice on high. 

20 If And they rose early in the morning, 
and went forth into the wilderness 3 of Te-ko'a : 
and as they went forth, Je-hosh'a-phat stood 
and said, Hear me, Ju'dah, and ye inhab- 
itants of Je-ru'sa-lem; Believe in the Lord your 



4. As Mosps commanded Israel 
when the Egyptians were destroyed 
in the Red Sea. (Ex. 14:13. 14)— "And 
Moses said unto the people. Fear ye 
not; stand still and see the salvation 
of the Lord, which he will show you 
to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye 
have seen to-day, ye shall see them 
again no more for ever: the Lord shall 
fight for you and ye shall hold your 
peace." 



5. A wilderness located on a broad 
eminence twelve miles south of Je- 
rusalem. Commonly known as the 
desert country beyond Jerusalem to- 
ward the Dead Sea. 



God, so shall ye be established; believe his 
prophets, so shall ye prosper. 

21 And when he had consulted with the peo- 
ple, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and 
that should praise the beauty of holiness, as 
they went out before the army, and to say, 
"Praise the Lord; z*for his mercy endureth for 
ever. 

22 % And when they began to sing and to 
praise, the Lord set ambushments against the 
children of Am'mon, Mo'ab, and mount Se'ir, 
which were come against Ju'dah; and they 
were smitten. 

23 For the children of Am'mon and Mo'ab 
stood up against the inhabitants of mount Se'ir, 
utterly to slay and destroy them: and when 
they had made an end of the inhabitants of 
Se'ir, every one helped to destroy another. 

24 And when Ju'dah came toward the watch 
tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the 
multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies 
fallen to the earth, and none escaped. 

25 And when Je-hosh'a-phat and his people 
came to take away the spoil of them, they 
found among them in abundance both riches 
with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, 
which they stripped off for themselves, more 
than they could carry away: and they were 
three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so 
much. 

26 If And on the fourth day they assembled 
themselves in the valley of Ber'a-chah; for 
there they blessed the 2 Lord: therefore the 
name of the same place was called, The valley 
of Ber'a-chah, unto this day. 

27 Then they returned, every man of Ju'dah 
and Je-ru'sa-lem, and Je-hosh'a-phat in the 
forefront of them, to go again to Je-ru'sa-lem 
with joy; for the 2 Lord had «made them to re- 
joice over their enemies. 

28 And they came to Je-ru'sa-lem with 
psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the 
house of the 2 Lord. 

29 And the 'fear of God was on all the 
kingdoms of those countries, when they had 
heard that the 2 Lord fought against the ene- 
mies of Is'ra-el. 

30 So the realm of Je-hosh'a-phat was quiet : 
for his s God gave him rest round about. 

31 f And Je-hosh'a-phat reigned over Ju'- 
dah: he was thirty and five years old when he 
began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five 
years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name 
was A-zu'bah the daughter of Shil'hI. _ 

32 And he walked in the way of A'sa his 
father, and departed not from it, doing that 
which was right in the sight of the 2 L©rd. 

33 Howbeit the high places were not taken 
away: for as yet the people had not prepared 
their hearts unto the God of their fathers. 

34 Now the rest of the acts of Je-hosh'a- 
phat, first and last, behold, they are written in 



f. And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you 
a God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bring- 
eth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. (Ex. 6:7.) 

g. If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be 
blasting, or mildew, locust, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them 
in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness 
there be; Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of 
any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his 
own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this 
house. (II Chr. 6:28, 29.) 

h. For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the 
iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and 
he restrained them not. (I Sam. 3:13.) 

i. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of 
ourselves: but our sufficiency is of God. (II Cor. 3:5.) 

j. Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet 
out of the net. (Ps. 25 :i5.) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, 
from whence cometh my help. (Ps. 121:1.) Unto thee lift I up mine 
eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. (Ps. 123:1.) 

k. And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God 
that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put 
his spirit upon them! (Num. 11:29.) 

1. Dread not, neither be afraid of them. (Dt. 1:29.) Be strong and 
of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them. (Dt. 31:6.) Be strong 
and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, 
nor for all the multitude that is with him. (II Chr. 32:7.) 

m. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and 



see the salvation of the Lord, which he will show to you to-day; for 
the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no 
more for ever. (Ex. 14:13.) 

n. Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people 
of the land; for they are bread for us; their defense is departed from 
them, and the Lord is with us; fear them not. (Num. 14:9.)- With him 
is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to 
fight our battles. (II Chr/ 32:3.) 

o. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; bring an offer- 
ing, and come before him; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 
(I Chr. 16:29.) O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his 
mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:1.) 

p. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as 
one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the 
Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cym- 
bals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he 
is good; for his mercy endureth for ever; that then the house was 
filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord. (II Chr. 5:13.) 

q. Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God 
had made them rejoice with great joy; the wives also and the children 
rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. (Neh. 
12:43.) 

r. And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands 
that were round about Judah. (II Chr. 17:10.) 

s. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and 
when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done 
against a nation, or against a man only. (Job 34:29.)

the book of Je'hu the son of Ha-na'm,_who is 
mentioned in the book of the kings of Is'ra-el. 

35 If And after this did Je_-h6sh'a-phat king 
of Ju'dah join himself with A-ha-zi'ah king of 
Is'ra-el, who did very wickedly: 

36 And he joined himself with him to make 
ships to go to Tar'shish: and they made the 
ships in E'zi-on-ga'ber. 

37 Then E-li-e'zer the son of Dod'a-vah of 
Ma-re'shah prophesied "against Je-hosh'a-phat, 
saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with 
A-ha-zi'ah, the 2 Lord hath broken thy works. 
And the ships were broken, that they were not 
able to go to Tar'shish. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 Jehoram, succeeding Jehoshaphat, slayeth his 
brethren. 12 The prophecy of Elijah against 
him in writing. 18 His incurable disease, 
infamous death, and burial. 

1 J Now Je-hosh'a-phat slept with his fathers, 
and was buried with his fathers in the city of 
Da'vid. And Je-ho'ram his son reigned in his 
stead. 

2 And he had brethren the sons of Je-h5sh'- 
a-phat, Az-a-ri ah, and Je-hi'el, and Zech-a- 
ri'ah, and Az-a-ri'ah, and Mi'chael, and Sheph- 
a-ti'ah: ail these were the sons of Je-hosh'a- 
phat king of Is'ra-el. 

3 And their father gave them great gifts of 
silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with 
fenced cities in Ju'dah: but the kingdom gave 
he to Je-ho'ram; because he was the firstborn. 

4 Now when Je-ho'ram was risen up to the 
kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, 
and °slew all his brethren with the sword, and 
divers also of the princes of Is'ra-el. 

5 1f 3 Je-ho'ram was thirty and two years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned eight 
years in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6 And he walked in the way of the kings of 
Is'ra-el, like as did the_house of A'hab: for he 
had the daughter of A'hab to wife: and he 
wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the 
2 Lord. 

7 Howbeit the 2 Lord would not destroy the 
house of Da'vid, because of the covenant that 
he had made, with Da'vid, and as he promised 
to give a light to him and to his sons for ever. 

8 1 In his days the E'dom-ites revolted from 
under the dominion of Ju'dah, and made them- 
selves a king. 

9 Then Je-ho'ram went forth with his 
princes, and all his chariots with him: and he 
rose up by night, and smote the E'dom-ites 
which compassed him in, and the captains of 
the chariots. 

10 So the E'dom-ites revolted from under 
the hand of Ju'dah unto this day. The same 
time also did Lib'nah revolt from under his 
hand; because he had forsaken the 2 Lord God 
of his fathers. 

11 Moreover he made high places in the 
mountains of Ju'dah, and caused the inhab- 
itants of Je-ru'sa-lem to commit fornication, 
and compelled Ju'dah "thereto. 

12 If And there carne a 5 writing to him from 
E-H'jah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord God of Da'vid thy father, Because thou 
hast not walked in the ways of Je-h5sh'a-phat 
thy father, nor in the ways of A'sa king of 
Ju'dah, 

13 But hast walked in the way of the kings 



6. A fact mentioned only by the 
writer of Chr. This is twice Jehosn 
aphat was censured by the prophets 
for his actions toward the kingdom 
of Israel. The other is the rebuke of 
Jehu (ch. 19:2, 3).

hoshaphat.

3. Vs. 5-7, Jehoram's wicked reign. 



4. Probably the influence of Atha- 
liah. Jehoram's wife, daughter oi

5. This is the only notice we have 
in the Chr. of Elijah, but it is suf- 
ficient to show that, though his min- 
istry was of the northern kingdom, 
still he did not forget Judah. This 
verse indicates that Elijah was yet 
alive. The simple fact that we have 
had the record of Elijah's ascension 
does not imply that it had actually 
taken place at this writing; because 
the writer nowhere aims at chrono- 
logical order, be merely had a story 
to tell and he weaves in his events 
to serve the best interests of his 
purpose. The writer of Kings de- 
sired to group together the miracles 
of Elisha. and it was but natural for 
him to record the ascension of Elijah, 
the master and teacher, w-bose spirit 
rested so mightily upon Elisha. 



6. An appropriate punishment for

of is'ra-el, and hast made Ju'dah and the in- 
habitants of Je-ru'sa-lem to ^go a whoring, like 
to the whoredoms of the house of A'hab, and 
also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's 
house, which were better than thyself: 

14 Behold, with a great plague will the Lord 
smite thy people, and thy children, and thy 
wives, and all thy goods: 

15 And thou shalt have great sickness by 
disease of thy 6 bowels, until thy bowels fall out 
by reason of the sickness day by day. 

16 If Moreover the Lord c stirred up against 
Je-ho'ram the spirit of the Phi-lis'tine§, and 
of the A-ra'bi-an§, that were near the E-thi-o'- 
pi-an§: 

17 And they came up into Ju'dah, and brake 
into it, and carried away all the substance that 
was found in the king's house, and his sons 
also, and his wives; so that there was never 
a son left him, save Je-ho'a-haz, the youngest 
of his sons. 

18 II And after all this the Lord smote him 
in his bowels with an incurable disease. 

19 And it came to pass, that in process of 
time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell 
out by reason of his sickness: so he died of 
sore diseases. And his people made no burning 
for him, like the burning of his fathers. 

20 Thirty and two years old was he when he 
began to reign, and he reigned in Je-ru'sa-lem 
eight years, and departed without being de- 
sired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of 
Da'vid, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 

CHAPTER 22. 
1 Ahaziah succeeding reigneth wickedly. 5 He 
is slain by Jehu. 10 Athaliah, destroying all 
the seed royal, save Joash, whom Jehoshabe- 
ath her aunt hid, usurpeth the kingdom. 

1 *And the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem made 
A-ha-zi'ah his youngest son king in his stead: 
for the band of men that came with the A-ra.'- 
bi-ans. to the camp had slain all the eldest. 
So A-ha-zi'ah the son of Je-h5'ram king of 
Ju'dah reigned. 

2 Forty and two years old was A-ha-zi'ah 
when he began to reign, and he reigned one 
year in Je-ru'sa-lem. His mother's name also 
was 3 Ath-a-H'ah the daughter of Om'ri. 

3 He also walked in the ways of the house of 
A'hab: for his mother was his counsellor to do 
wickedly. 

4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of 
the 2 Lord like the house of A'hab: for they 
°were his counsellors after the death of his 
father to his destruction. 

5 If He walked also after their counsel, and 
went with Je-ho'ram the son of A'hab king of 
Is'ra-el to war against Haz'a-el king of Syr'i-a 
at Ra'moth-gil'e-ad : and the Syr'i-an§ smote 
Jd'ram. 

6 And he returned to be healed in Jez're-el 
because of the wounds which were given him 
at Ra'mah, when he fought with Haz'a-el king 
of Syr'i-a. And Az-a-ri'ah the son of Je-h5'- 
ram king of Ju'dah went down to see Je-ho'ram 
the son of A'hab at Jez're-el, because he was 
sick. 

7 And the destruction of A-ha-zi'ah 6 was of 
God by coming to Jo'ram: for when he was 
come, he went out with Je-ho'ram against Je'hu 
the son of NTm'shi, c whom the 2 Lord had 
anointed to cut off the house of A'hab. 



Chapter 21. 

a. And Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when 
they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and 
slew him. (Gen. 4:8.) And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, 
and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten 
persons, upon one stone. (Jud. 9:5.) 

b. Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and 
they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and 
one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice. (Ex. 34:15.) Is it peace, 
Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy 
mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? (II Ks. 9:22.) 

c. And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the 



Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom (14). And God stirred him 
up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his 
lord Hadadezer king of Zobah. (I Ks. 11:14, 23.) 
Chapter 22.

ion of fools shall be destroyed. (Prov. 13:20.) 

b. But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the 
Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines; for at that 
time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. (Jud. 14:4.) 

c. And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil 
on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I 
have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.

8 And it came to pass, that, when Je'hu was 
^executing judgment upon the house of A'hab, 
and found the princes of Ju'dah, and the sons 
of the brethren of A-ha-zi'ah, that ministered 
to A-ha-zi'ah, he slew them. 

9 And he sought A-ha-zi'ah : and they caught 
him, (for he was hid in Sa-ma'ri-a,) and 
brought him to Je'hu: and when they had slain 
him, they buried him : Because, said they, he is 
the son of Je-hosh'a-phat, who soughtthe "Lord 
with all his heart. So the house of A-ha-zi'ah 
had no power to keep still the kingdom. 

10 H 4 But when Ath-a-li'ah the mother of 
A-ha-zi'ah saw that her son was dead, she 
arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the 
house of Ju'dah. 

11 But Je-ho-shab'e-ath, the daughter of the 
king, took Jo'ash the son of A-ha-zi'ah, and 
stole him from among the king's sons that 
were slain, and put him and his nurse in a 
bedchamber. So Je-ho-shab'e-ath, the daugh- 
ter of king Je-ho'ram, the wife of Je-hoi^a-da 
the priest, (for she was the sister of A-ha- 
zi'ah,) hid him from Ath-a-li'ah, so that she 
slew him not. 

12 And he was with them hid in the house of 
God six years: and Ath-a-li'ah reigned over 
the land. 

CHAPTER 23. 
1 Jehoiada, having set things in order, maketh 
Joash king. 12 Athaliah is slain. 16 Jehoia- 
da restoreth the worship of God. 

1 *And in the seventh year Je-hoi'a-da 
strengthened himself, and took the captains of 
hundreds, Az-a-ri'ah the son of Jer'o-ham, and 
Ish'ma-el the son of Je-ho-ha'nan, and Az-a- 
ri'ah the son of O'bed, and Ma-a-se'iah the son 
of Ad-a-I'ah, and E-lish'a-phat the son of Zich'- 
ri, into covenant with him. 

2 And they "went about in Ju'dah, and gath- 
ered the Le'vites out of all the cities of Ju'dah, 
and the chief of the fathers of I.s'ra-el, and 
they came to Je-ru's^-lem. 

3 And all the congregation made a covenant 
with the king in the house of God. And he 
said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall 
reign, as the 2 Lord hath 6 said of the sons of 
Da'vid. 

4 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third 
part of you entering on the sabbath, of the 
priests and of the Le'vites, shall be porters of 
the doors; 

5 And a third part shall be at the king's 
house; and a third part at the gate of the 
foundation: and all the people shall be in the 
courts of the house of the 2 Lord. 

6 But let none come into the house of the 
2 Lord, save the priests, and they that minister 
of the Le'vites; they shall go in, for they are 
holy: but all the people shall keep the watch 
of the 2 Lord. 

7 And the Le'vites shall compass the king 
round about, every man with his weapons in 
his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the

the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth 
out. 

8 So the Le'vites and all Ju'dah did accord- 
ing to all things that Je-hoi'a-da the priest had 
commanded, and took every man his men that 
were to come in on the sabbath, with them that 
were to go out on the sabbath: for Je-hoi'a-da 
the priest dismissed not the courses. 

9 Moreover Je-hoi'a-da the priest delivered 
to the captains of hundreds spears, and buck- 
lers, and shields, that had been king Da'vid's, 
which were in the house of God. 

10 And he set all the people, every man hav- 
ing his weapon in his hand, from the right 
side of the temple to the left side of the temple, 
along by the altar and the temple, by the king 
round about. 

11 Then they brought out the king's son, and 
put upon him the crown, and c gave him the 
testimony, and made him king. And Je-hoi'a-

save the king. 

12 If Now when Ath-a-H'ah heard the noise 
of the people running and praising the king, 
she came to the people into the house of the 
2 Lord : 

13 And she looked, and, behold, the king 
stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the 
princes and the trumpets by the king: and 
all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded 
with trumpets, also the singers with instru- 
ments of musick, and such as taught to sing 
praise. Then Ath-a-li'ah rent her clothes, and 
said, Treason, Treason. 

14 Then Je-hoi'a-da the priest brought out 
the captains of hundreds that were set over the 
host, and said unto them, Have her forth of 
the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him 
be slain with the sword. For the priest said, 
Slay her not in the house of the 2 Lord. 

15 So they laid hands on her; and when she 
was come to the entering of the horse gate by 
the king's house, they e slew her there. 

16 If And Je-hoi'a-da made ^a covenant be- 
tween him, and between all the people, and be- 
tween the king, that they should be the 2 Lord's 
people. 

17 Then all the people went to the house of 
Ba'al, and brake it down, and brake his altars 
and his images in pieces, and slew Mat'tan the 
priest of Ba'al before the altars. 

18 Also Je-hoi'a-da appointed the offices of 
the house of the 2 Lord by the hand of the 
priests the Le'vites, whom Da'vid had distrib- 
uted in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt 
3 offerings_of the 2 Lord, as it is written in the 
law of Mo'ses, with rejoicing and with singing, 
as it was ordained by Da'vid. 

19 And he set the porters at the gates of 
the house of the 2 Lord, that none which was 
unclean in any thing should enter in. 

20 #And he took the captains of hundreds, 
and the nobles, and the governors of the people, 
and all the people of the land, and brought 



And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may 
avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the 
servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel. (II Ks. 9:6, 7.) 

d. Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the 
word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab; 
for the Lord hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah. So 
Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all 
his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none 
remaining. (II Ks. 10:10, 11.)

a. A good man showeth favor and lendeth; he will guide his affairs 
with discretion. (Ps. 112:5.) 

b. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy 
fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of 
thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. (II Sam. 7:12.) Then I 
will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I 
promised David thy father. (I Ks. 9:5.) Then I will stablish the 
throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David 
thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 
(II Chr. 7:1S.) See II Chr. 21:7. 

p. And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his king- 



dom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that 
which is before the priests the Levites. (Dt. 17:18.) Be wise now there- 
fore, O ye' kings; be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord 
with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (Ps. 2:10, 11.) 

d. See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like 
him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God 
save the king! (I Sam. 10:24.)

every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of 
every man's brother will I require the life of a man. (Gen. 9:5.) For 
with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what meas- 
ure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.. (Mat. 7:2.) 

f. And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king 
and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; between the

priests, seal unto it. (Neh. 9:38.)

and they came through the high gate into the 
king's house, and set the king upon the throne 
of the kingdom.

and the city was quiet, after that they had

1 Joash reigneth well all the days of Jehoiada. 

4 He giveth order for the repair of the tem- 
ple. 15 Jehoiada's death. 17 Joash slayeth 
Zechariah the son of Jehoiada. 23 Joash is 
spoiled by the Syrians, and slain. 27 Ama- 
ziah succeedeth him. 

1 'Joash was seven years old when he began 
to reign, and he reigned forty years in Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. His mother's name also was Zib'i-ah 
of Be'er-she'ba. 

2 And Jo'ash did that which was right in 
the sight of the 2 Lord all the days of Je-hoi'a- 
da the priest. 

3 And Je-hoi'a-da took for him two wives; 
and he begat sons and daughters. 

' 4 f And it came to pass after this, that J5'- 
ash was minded to repair the house of the 
2 Lord. 

5 And he gathered together the priests and 
the Le'vites, and said to them, Go out unto the 
cities of Ju'dah, and "gather of all Is'ra-el 
money to repair the house of your God from 
year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. 
Howbeit the Le'vites hastened it not. 

6 And the king called for Je-hoi'a-da the 
chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not 
required of the Le'vites to bring in out of 
Ju'dah and out of Je-ru'sa-lem the collection, 
according to the commandment of Mo'ses. the 
servant of the 2 Lord, and of the congregation 
of Is'ra-el, for the tabernacle of witness? 

7 For the sons of Ath-a-H'ah, that wicked 
woman, had broken up the house of God; and 
also all the dedicated things of the house of the 
2 Lord did they bestow upon Ba'al-Im. 

8 And at the king's commandment Hhey 
made a chest, and set it without at the gate of 
the house of the Lord. 

9 And they made c a proclamation through 
Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, to bring in to the 
Lord the collection that Mo'§es the servant of 
God laid upon Is'ra-el in the wilderness. 

10 And all the princes and all the people 
rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the 
chest, until they had made an end. 

11 Now it came to pass, that at what time 
the chest was brought unto the king's office 
by the hand of the Le'vites, and when d they 
saw that there was much money, the king's 
scribe and the high priest's officer came and 
emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it 
to his place again. Thus they did day by day, 
and gathered money in abundance. 

12 And the king and Je-hoi'a-da gave it to 
such as did the work of the service of the 
house of the 2 Lord, and hired masons and car- 
penters to repair the house of the 2 Lord, and

also such as wrought iron and brass to mend 
the house of the 2 Lord. 

13 So the workmen wrought, and the work 
was perfected by them, and they set the house 
of God in his state, and strengthened it. 

14 And when they had finished it, they 
brought the rest of the money before the king 
and Je-hoi'a-da, whereof were made vessels for 
the house of the : Lord, even vessels to minis- 
ter, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels 
of gold and silver. And they offered c burnt 
^'offerings in the house of the 2 Lord continually 
all the days of Je-hoi'a-da. 

15 If But Je-hoi'a-da waxed old, and was f full 
of days when he died; an hundred and ^thirty 
years old was he when he died. 

16 And they buried him in the city of Da'vid 
among the kings, because he had done good in 
Is'ra-el, both toward God, and toward his 
house. 

17 "Now after the death of Je-hoi'a-da came 
the princes of Ju'dah, and made obeisance to 
the king. Then the king hearkened unto them. 

18 And they left the house of the 2 Lord God 
of their fathers, and served groves and idols: 
and wrath came upon Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem 
for this their trespass. 

19 Yet he ^sent prophets to them, to bring 
them again unto the 2 Lord; and they testified 
against them: but they would not give ear. 

20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zech-a- 
rl'ah the son of Je-hoi'a-da the priest, which 
stood "above the people, and said unto them, 
Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the com- 
mandments of the Lord, that ye cannot pros- 
per? ''because ye have forsaken the Lord, he 
hath also forsaken you. 

21 And they conspired against him, and 
stoned him with stones at the commandment of 
the king in the court of the house of the Lord. 

22" Thus Jo'ash the king remembered not the 
kindness which Je-hoi'a-da his father had done 
to him, but slew his son. And when he died, 
he said, The Lord look upon it, and require it. 

23 11 And it came to pass at the end of the 
year, that the host of Syr'I-a came up against 
him: and they came to Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa- 
lem, and destroyed all the princes of the people 
from among the people, and sent all the spoil 
of them unto the king of Da-mas'cus. 

24 For the army of the Syr'i-an§ 'came with 
a small company of men, and the 2 Lord de- 
livered a very great host into their hand, be- 
cause they had forsaken the 2 Lord God of their 
fathers. So they executed judgment against 
JS'ash. 

25 And when they were departed from him, 
(for they left him in great diseases,) his own 
servants conspired against him for the blood 
of the sons of Je-hoi'a-da the priest, and slew 
him on his bed, and he died: and they buried 
him in the city of Da'vid, but they buried him 
not in the sepulchres of the kings. 

26 And these are they that conspired against 
him; Za/bad the son of Shim'e-ath an Am'mon- 
lt-ess, and Je-hoz'a-bad the son of Shim'rith a 
Mo'ab-it-ess. 



h. And all the people came up after him; and the people piped 
with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the 
sound of them. (I Ks. 1:40.)

a. All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the 
house of the Lord, even the money of every one that passeth the ac- 
count, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that Com- 
eth into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord. (II Ks. 
12:4.) 

b. But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the 
lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh 
into the house of the Lord; and the priest that kept the door put 
therein all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord. 
(II Ks. 12:9.) 

c. And Moses gave commandment; and they caused it to be pro- 
claimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make 
any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were 
restrained from bringing. (Ex. 36:6.) 

d. And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in 
the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they 



put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the 
Lord. (II Ks. 12:10.) 

e. For the law of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

f. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried 
in a good old age. (Gen. 15:15.) Thou shalt come to thy grave in a 
full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. (Job 5:26.) 
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall 
be shortened. (Prov. 10:27.) 

g. And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messen- 
gers, rising up betimes, and sending: because he had compassion on his 
people, and on his dwelling place. (II Chr. 36:15.)

he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

i. And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you 
shall put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall before you 
by the sword. (Lev. 26:8.) One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of 
one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee till ye be left as a beacon upon

27 If Now concerning his sons, and the great- 
ness of the burdens laid upon him, and the re- 
pairing of the house of God, behold, they are 
written in the story of the book of the kings. 
And Am-a-zi'ah his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAPTER 25. 
1 Amaziah beginneth to reign well. 11 He 
overthroweth the Edomites. 14 Amaziah, 
proud of his victory, serveth the gods of 
Edom. 17 He provoketh Joash to his over- 
throw. 25 His reign. 27 He is slain by con- 
spiracy. 

1 'Am-a-zi'ah was twenty and five years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty 
and nine years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his moth- 
er's name was Je-ho-ad'dan of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 And he did that which "was right in the 
sight of the 2 Lord, but not with a perfect heart. 

3 IT Now it came to pass, when the kingdom 
was established to him, that he slew his serv- 
ants that had killed the king his father. 

4 But he slew not their children, but did as 
it is written in the law in the book of M5'§e§, 
where the "Lord commanded, saying, 6 The fa- 
thers shall not die for the children, neither 
shall the children die for the fathers, but every 
man shall die for his own sin. 

5 II Moreover Am-a-zi'ah gathered Ju'dah to- 
gether, and made them captains over thou- 
sands, and captains over hundreds, according 
to the houses of their fathers, throughout all 
Ju'dah and Ben'ja-min: and he numbered them 
from twenty years old and above, and found 
them three hundred thousand choice men, able 
to go forth to war, that could handle spear and 
shield. 

6 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty 
men of valour out of Is'ra-el for an hundred 
talents of silver. 

7 But there came a man of God to him, 
saying, king, let not the army of Is'ra-el 
go with thee; for the 2 Lord is not with Is'ra-el, 
to wit, with all the children of E'phra-im. 

8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for 
the battle: God shall make thee fall before 
the enemy : for God hath c power to help, and to 
cast down. 

9 And Am-a-zi'ah said to the man of God, 
But what shall we do for the hundred talents 
which I have given to the army of Is'ra-el? 
And the man of God answered, The 2 Lord is 
d able to give thee much more than this. 

10 Then Am-a-zi'ah separated them, to wit, 
the army that was come to him out of E'phra- 
im, to go home again: wherefore their anger 
was greatly kindled against Ju'dah, and they 
returned home in great anger. 

11 1 And Am-a-zi'ah strengthened himself, 
and led forth his people, and went to the val- 
ley of salt, and smote of the children of Se'ir 
ten thousand. 

12 And other ten thousand left alive did the 



Ch. 25. B. C. 839-827. 



1. This ch. records the reign of 
Amaziah more fully than its parallel 
of II Ks. 14:1-22. The following ad- 
ditions especially recorded: The prep- 
arations for war with the Edomites 
(vs. 5-10), the capture and casting 
from the rocks 10,000 children ot 
Seir (v. 12), Amaziah's departure 
from the truth and casting off of the 
prophets (vs. 14-16). It is to be ob- 
served that in the early part of the 
reign, when he did that which was 
right before the Lord, he prospered, 
but when he later adopted the idola- 
try of the Edomites, his downfall 
began, and soon resulted in his ruin, 
as the judgment of God against idola- 
try, the working out of which was 
one of the purposes of the writer ot

children of Ju'dah carry away captive, and 
brought them unto the top of the rock, and 
cast them down from the top of the rock, that 
they all were broken in pieces. 

13 \ But the soldiers of the army which 
Am-a-zi'ah sent back, that they should not go 
with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Ju'- 
dah, from Sa-ma'ri-a even unto Beth-ho'ron, 
and smote three thousand of them, and took 
much spoil. 

14 If Now it came to pass, after that Am-a- 
zi'ah was come from the slaughter of the 
E'dom-ites, that he brought the gods of the 
children of Se'ir, and set them up to be °'his 
gods, and bowed down himself before them, 
and burned incense unto them. 

15 Wherefore the anger ^of the 2 Lord was 
kindled against Am-a-zi'ah, and he sent unto 
him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast 
thou sought after the gods of the people, which 
could "not deliver their own people out of 
thine hand? 

16 And it came to. pass, as he talked with 
him, that the king said unto him, Art thou 
made of the king's counsel? forbear; why 
shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet 
forbare, and said, I know that God hath de- 
termined to destroy thee, because thou hast 
done this, and hast not hearkened unto my 
counsel. 

17 II Then Am-a-zi'ah king of Ju'dah took 
advice, and sent to JS'ash, the son of Je-ho'a- 
haz, the son of Je'hu, king of Is'ra-el, saying, 
Come, let us see one another in the face. 

18 And Jo'ash king of Is'ra-el sent to Am-a- 
zi'ah king of Ju'dah, saying, The thistle that 
was in Leb'a-non sent to the cedar that was 
in Leb'a-non, saying, Give thy daughter to my 
son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast 
that was in Leb'a-non, and trode down the 
thistle. 

19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the 
E'dom-ites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to 
boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou 
''meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, 
even thou, and Ju'dah with thee? 

20 But Am-a-zi'ah would not hear; for it 
'came of God, that he might deliver them into 
the hand of their enemies, because they sought 
after the gods of E'dom. 

21 So Jo'ash the king of is'ra-el went up; 
and they saw one another in the face, both he 
and Am-a-zi'ah king of Ju'dah, at Beth-she'- 
mesh, which belongeth to Ju'dah. 

22 And Ju'dah was put to the worse before 
Is'ra-el, and they fled every man to his tent. 

23 And Jo'ash the king of Is'ra-el took 
Am-a-zi'ah king of Ju'dah, the son of Jo'ash, 
the son of Je-ho'a-haz, at Beth-she'mesh, and 
brought him to Je-ru'sa-lem, and brake down 
the wall of Je-ru'sa-lem from the gate of 
E'phra'im to the corner gate, four hundred 
cubits. 



Chapter 25. 

a. See j, ch. 15, II Ks. 

b. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither 
shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be 
put to death for his own sin. (Dt. 24:16.) But every one shall die for 
his own iniquity; every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall 
be set on edge. (Jer. 31:30.) The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The 
son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father 
bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall 
be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 
(Ezek. 18:20.) 

c. And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is 
nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that 
have no power; help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in 
thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; 
let not man prevail against thee. (II Chr. 14:11.) 

d. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that 
giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant 
which be sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. (Dt. 8:18.) 

e. Thou shalt have no other gods before me (3). Thou shalt not 
bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am 
a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto 
fhe third and fourth generation of them that hate me. (Ex. 20:3, 5.) 
The Lord will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the gods 
of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, 
even all the isles of the heathen. (Zeph. 2:11.) Confounded be all they 



that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols; worship him, 
all ye gods. (Ps. 97:7.) 

f. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he 
departed. (Num. 12:9.) For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall 
burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her in- 
crease, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Dt. 32:22.) 
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved 
and shook, because he was wroth. (II Sam. 22:8.) Who can stand be- 
fore his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? 
his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by 
him. (Nah. 1:6.) 

g. Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing; their molten 
images are wind and confusion. (Is. 41:29.) Every man is brutish in 
his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image; for 
his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. (Jer. 
10:14.) They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him 
in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove; yea, 
one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his 
trouble. (Is. 46:7.) 

h. A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for 
strokes. (Prov. 18:6.) 

i. Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause 
was from the Lord, that he might perform his saying, which the Lord 
spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. (I Ks. 
12:15.) See II Chr. 22:7.

2 He built E'loth, and restored it to Ju'dah, 
after that the king slept with his fathers. 

3 Sixteen years old was Uz-zi'ah when he 
began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two 
years in Je-ru'sa-lem. His mothers' name also 
was Jec-o-li'ah of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4 And he did that which "was right in the 
sight of the "Lord, according to all that his 
father Am-a-zi'ah did. 

5 And he sought God in the days of Zech-a- 
ri'ah, who 6 had understanding in the visions of 
God: and as long as he 5 sought the ^Lord, God 
made him to prosper. 

6 And he went forth and warred against 
the Phi-lis'tines, and brake down the wall of 
Gath, and the wall of Jab'neh, and the wall of 
Ash'dod, and built cities about Ash'dSd, and 
among the Phi-lis'tines. 

7 And God helped him against the Phi-lis'- 
tines. and against the A-raL>i-ans that dwelt 
in Gur-ba'al, and the Me-hu'nims. 

8 And the Am'mon-ites gave gifts to Uz-zi'- 
ah: and his name spread abroad even to the 
entering in of E'gypt; for he strengthened him- 
self exceedingly. 

9 Moreover Uz-zi'ah built towers in Je-ru'- 
salem at. the corner gate, and at the valley 
gate, and at the turning of the wall, and forti- 
fied them. 

10 Also he built towers in the desert, and 
r digged many wells: for he had much cattle, 
both in the low country, and in the plains: 
husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the 
mountains, and in Car'mel: for he loved hus- 
bandry. 

11 Moreover Uz-zi'ah had an host of fighting 
men, that went out to war by bands, according 
to the number of their account by the hand of 
Je-i'el the scribe and Ma-a-se'iah the ruler, 
under the hand of Han-a-ni'ah, one of the 
king's captains.

12 The whole number of the chief of the 
fathers of the mighty men of valour were two 
thousand and six hundred. 

13 And under their hand was an army, three 
hundred thousand and seven thousand and five 
hundred, that made war with mighty power, to 
help the king against the enemy. 

14 And Uz-zi'ah prepared for them through- 
out all the host shields, and spears, and hel- 
mets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to 
cast stones. 

15 And he made in Je-ru'sa-lem engines, in- 
vented by cunning men, to be on the towers 
and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and 
great stones withal. And his name spread far 
abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till 
he was strong. 

16 r But d when he was strong, his heart was 
-lifted up to his destruction: for he trans- 
gressed against the 2 Lord his God, and went 
into the temple of the : Lord to burn incense 
upon the altar of incense. 

17 And Az-a-ri'ah the priest went in after 
him, and with him fourscore priests of the 
Lord, that were valiant men : 

18 And they withstood Uz-zi'ah the king, 
and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto 
thee, Uz-zi'ah, to burn incense unto the "Lord, 
but to the priests the sons of Aar'on, that are 
consecrated to burn incense: go out of the 
sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither 
shall it be for thine honour from the = Lord 
God. 

19 Then Uz-zi'ah was wroth, and had a cen- 
ser in his hand to bum incense: and while he 
was wroth with the priests, ''the leprosy even 
3 rose up in his forehead before the priests in 
the house of the 2 Lord, from beside the incense 
altar. 

20 And Az-a-ri'ah the chief priest, and all 
the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he 
was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust 
him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also 
to go out, because the : Lord had smitten him. 

21 And -^Uz-zi'ah the king was a leper unto 
the day of his death, and dwelt in a several 
house, being a leper; for he was cut off from 
the house of the "Lord: and Jotham his son 
was over the king's house, judging the people 
of the land. 

22 *~ Now the rest of the acts of Uz-zi'ah, 
first_ and last, did I-sa'iah the prophet, the son 
of A'moz, write. 

23 So Uz-zi'ah slept with his fathers, and 
they buried him with his fathers in the field of 
the burial which belonged to the kings; for 
they said, He is a leper: and Jo'tham his son 
reigned in his stead.

years in Je-ru'sa-lem. His mother's name also 
was Je-ru'shah, the daughter of Za'dok. 

2 And he did that which "was right in the 
sight of the 2 Lord, according to all that his 
father Uz-zi'ah did: howbeit he entered not

b. I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it; 
and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to

knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had under- 
standing in all visions and dreams. (Dan. 1:17.) Then was the secret 
revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. (Dan. 2:19.) 

c. And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had 
digged in the days of Abraham his father: for the Philistines had 
stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names 
after the names by which his father had called them. And Isaac's ser- 
vants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, 



The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because

into the temple of the 2 Lord. And b the people 
did yet corruptly. 

3 He built the high gate of the house of the 
"Lord, and on the wall of O'phel he built much. 

4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains 
of Ju'dah, and in the forests he built castles 
and towers. 

5 11 r He fought also with the king of the 
Am'mon-ites, and prevailed against them. And 
the children of Am'mon gave him the same 
year an hundred "talents of silver, and ten 
thousand measures of 4 wheat, and ten thousand 
of barley. So much did the children of Am'- 
mon pay unto him, both the second year, and 
the third. 

6 So Jo'tham became mighty, because he pre- 
pared his ways before the 2 Lord his God. 

7 1 Now the rest of the acts of Jo'tham, and 
all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written 
in the book of the kings of Is'ra-el and Ju'dah. 

8 He was five and twenty years old when 
he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9 If And Jo'tham slept with his fathers, and 
they buried him in the city of Da'vid: and 
A'haz his son reigned in his stead. 



CHAPTER 28. 
1* Ahaz reigning wickedly is greatly afflicted 
by the Syrians. 16 Sending for aid to As- 
syria he is not helped thereby. 22 In his 
distress he groiveth more idolatrous. 26 He 
dying, Hezekiah succeedeth him. 

1 "A'haz was twenty years old when he be- 
gan to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in 
Je-ru'sa-lem: but he did "not that which was 
right in the sight of the 2 Lord, like Da'vid his 
father : 

2 For he walked in the ways of the kings 
of Is'ra-el, and made also ^molten images for 
Ba'al-im. 

3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of 
the son of Hin'nom,' and burnt c his children in 
the fire, after the abominations of the heathen 
whom the "Lord had cast out before the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el. 

_ 4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the 
high places, and on the hills, and under every 
green tree. 

5 Wherefore the 2 Lord his God delivered him 
into the hand of the king of Syr'i-a; and they 
smote him, and carried away a great multitude 
of them captives, and brought them to Da-mas'- 
cus. And he was also delivered into the hand 
of Is'ra-el, who smote him with a great slaugh- 
ter. 

6 1f For Pe'kah the son of Rem-a-ll'ah slew 
in Ju'dah an hundred and twenty thousand in 
one day, which were all valiant men; because 
they had ^forsaken the 2 Lord God of their fa- 
thers. 

7 And Zich'ri, a mighty man of E'phra-im, 
slew Ma-a-se'iah the king's son, and Az'ri-kam 
the governor of the house, and El'ka-nah that 
was next to the king.

1. This ch. records the reign of 
Ahaz and is parallel to ch. 16. which 
should be read in connection with this 
ch.. as they treat of separate sub- 
jects of the reign. The ultimate pur- 
pose of the writer of Chr. seems to 
have been to treat of Ahab in such a 
manner as to show his warnings ex- 
pressed in his many reverses and how 
he stiffened his neck and continued to 
sin more.

8 And the children of Is'ra-el carried av/ay 
captive of their brethren two hundred thou- 
sand, women, sons, and daughters, and took 
also away much spoil from them, and brought 
the spoil to Sa-ma'ri-a. 

9 But a prophet of the 2 Lord was there, 
whose name was O'ded : and he went out before 
the host that came to Sa-ma'ri-a, and said unto 
them, Behold, because the 2 Lord God of your 
fathers was wroth with Ju'dah, he hath de- 
livered them into your hand, and ye have slain 
them in a rage that reacheth e up unto heaven. 

10 And now ye purpose to keep under the 
children of Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem for bond- 
men and bondwomen unto you: but are there 
not with you, even ^with you, sins against the 
Lord your God? 

11 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the 
captives again, which ye have taken captive of 
your brethren: fffor the fierce wrath of the 
J Lord is upon you. 

12 Then certain of the heads of the children 
of E'phra-im, Az-a-ri'ah the son of Jo-ha'nan, 
Ber-e-chi'ah the son of Me-shil'le-moth, and 
Je-hiz-ki'ah the son of ShaTlum, and Am'a-sa 
the son of Had'la-i, stood up against them that 
came from the war, 

13 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring 
in the captives hither: for whereas we have 
offended against the 2 Lord already, ye intend to 
add more to our sins and to our trespass: for 
our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath 
against Is'ra-el. 

14 So the armed men left the captives and 
the spoil before the princes and all the congre- 
gation. 

15 And the men which were expressed by 
name rose up, and took the captives, and with 
the spoil clothed all that were naked among 
them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and 
''gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed 
them, and carried all the feeble of them upon 
asses, and brought them to Jer'i-cho, the city 
of palm trees, to their brethren: then they re- 
turned to Sa-ma'ri-a. 

16 If At that time did king A'haz send unto 
the kings of As-syr'i-a to help him. 

17 For again the E'dom-Ites had come and 
smitten Ju'dah, and carried away captives. 

18 The Phi-lis'tines also had invaded the 
cities of the low country, and of the south of 
Ju'dah, and had taken Beth-she'mesh, and 
Aj'a-lon, and Ge-de'roth, and ShS'cho with the 
villages thereof, and Tim'nah with the villages 
thereof, Gim'zo also and the villages thereof: 
and they dwelt there. 

19 For the 2 Lord brought Ju'dah low because 
of A'haz king of Is'ra-el; for he made Ju'dah 
naked, and transgressed sore against the '"Lord. 

20 And Til'gath-pil-ne'§er king of As-syr'i-a 
came unto him, and distressed him, but 
strengthened him not. 

21 For A'haz took away a portion out of the 
house of the 2 Lord, and out of the house of the 
king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the 
king of As-syr'i-a : but he helped him not. 



b. Howbeit the high places were not removed; the people sacrificed 
and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate 
of the house of the Lord. (II Ks. 15:35.) 

c. And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto 
the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thou- 
sand rams, with the wool. (II Ks. 3:4.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. See i, ch. 15, II Ks. 

b. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. (Ex. 34:17.) Turn ye 
not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods; I am the Lord 
your God. (Lev. 19:4.) Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, 
neither shall ye make -unto you gods of gold. (Ex. 20:23.) Thou shalt 
not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is 
in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the 
waters beneath the earth. (Dt. 5:8.) Neither shalt thou set thee up 
any image; which the Lord thy God hateth. (Dt. 16:22.) 

c. And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to 
Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God; I am the 
Lord. (Lev. 18:21.) And he caused his children to pass through the 
fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; also he observed times, and 
used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar 



spirit, and with wizards; he wrought much evil in the sight of the 
Lord, to provoke him to anger. (II Chr. 33:6.) 

d. Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings 
shall reprove thee; know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and 
bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is 
not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts. (Jer. 2:19.) 

e. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's 
blood crieth unto me from the ground. (Gen. 4:10.) And said, O my 
God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for 
our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown 
up unto the heavens. (Ezra 9:6.) For her sins have reached unto 
heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. (Rev. 18:5.) 

f. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of 
God; and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that 
obey not the gospel of God? (I Pet. 4:17.) 

g. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shown no 
mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. (Js. 2:13.) 

h. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be 
thirsty, give him water to drink; For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon 
his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. (Prov. 25:21, 22.) But I say 
unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate 
you. (Luke 6:27.)

22 r And in the time of his distress did he 
trespass yet more against the Lord: this is 
that king A'haz. 

23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Da- 
mascus, which smote him: and he said, Be- 
cause the gods of the kings of Syr'i-a help 
them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that 
they may help me. But they were the ruin of 
him, and of all Is'ra-el. 

24 And A'haz gathered together the vessels 
of the house of God, and cut in pieces the ves- 
sels of the house of God, and shut "up the doors 
of the house of the 2 Lord, and he made him 
altars in every 'comer of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

25 And in every several city of Ju'dah he 
made high places to bum incense unto other 
gods, and provoked to anger the 2 Lord God of 
his fathers. 

26 U Now the rest of his acts and of all his 
ways, first and last, behold, they are written in 
the book of _the kings of Ju'dah and Is'ra-el. 

27 And A'haz slept with his fathers, and 
they buried him in the city, even in Je-ru'sa- 
lem: but they brought him not into the sepul- 
chres of the kings of Is'ra-el: and Hez-e-kl'ah 
his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAPTER 29. 
1 Hezekiah's good reign. 3 He restoreth re- 
ligion. 5 He exhorteth the Levites. 12 They 
sanctify themselves, and cleanse the house 
of God. 20 Hezekiah offereth solemn sacri- 
fices. 

1 ^ez-e-ki'ah began to reign when he was 
five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine 
and twenty years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his 
mother's name was A-bi'jah, the daughter of 
Zech-a-ri'ah. 

2 And he did that which was right in the 
sight of the "Lord, according to all that Da'vid 
his father had done. 

3 If "He in the first year of his reign, in the 
first month, opened Hhe doors of the house of 
the 2 Lord, and repaired them. 

4 And he brought in the priests and the Le'- 
vites, and gathered them together into the 
east street, 

5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Le'vites. 
a sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the 
house of the Lord God of your fathers, and 
cany forth the filthiness out of the holy place. 

6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done 
that which ''was evil in the eyes of the 2 Lord 
our God, and have forsaken him, and have 
turned away their faces from the habitation of 
the 2 Lord, and turned their backs. 

7 Also they have shut up the doors of the 
porch, and put out the lamps, and have not 
burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in 
the holy place unto the God of Is'ra-el. 

8 Wherefore the wrath of the 2 Lord was 
upon Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, and he hath de- 
livered them to trouble, to astonishment, and 
to c hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 

9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the 
sword, and our sons and our daughters and 
our wives are in captivity for this. 

10 Now it is in mine heart to make 3 a cove- 
nant with the 2 Lord God of Is'ra-el, that his 
fierce wrath may turn away from us.

12 11 Then the Le vltes arose, Ma'hath the 
son of A-mas'a-i, and Jo'el the son of Az-a- 
ri'ah, of the sons of the Ko'hath-ites: and of 
the sons of Me-ra'ri, Kish the son of Ab'di, 
and Az-a-11'ah the son of Je-hal'e-lel : and of 
the Ger'shon-ites ; Jo'ah the son of Zim'mah, 
and E'den the son of Jo'ah:

Shim'e-i: and of the sons of Jed'u-thun; Shem- 
a-i'ah, and Uz-zl'el. 

15 And they gathered their brethren, and 
sanctified themselves, and came, according to 
the commandment of the king, by the words of 
the 2 Lord, to cleanse the house of the 2 Lord. 

16 And the priests went into the inner part 
of the house of the 2 Lord, to cleanse it, and 
brought out all the uncleanness that they found 
in the temple of the 2 Lord into the court of the 
house of the 2 Lord. And the Le'vites took it, 
to carry it out abroad into the brook Kid'ron. 

17 Now they began on the first day of the 
first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day 
of the month came they to the porch of the 
2 Lord : so they sanctified the house of the 2 Lord 
in eight days: and in the sixteenth day of the 
first month they made an end. 

18 Then they went in to Hez-e-kTah the 
king, and said, We have cleansed all the house 
of the 2 Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, 
with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread 
table, with all the vessels thereof. 

19 Moreover all the vessels, which king 
A'haz in his reign did cast away in his trans- 
gression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, 
behold, they are before the altar of the 2 Lord. 

20 *" Then Hez-e-ki'ah the king rose early, 
and gathered the rulers of the city, and went 
up to the house of the ^ord. 

21 And they brought seven bullocks, and 
seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he 
goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and 
for the sanctuary, and for Ju'dah. And he 
commanded the priests the so?is of Adr'on to 
offer them on the altar of the Lord. 

22 So they killed the bullocks, and the 
priests received the blood, and t sprinkled it 
on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the 
rams, they sprinkled the blood, upon the altjir: 
they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled 
the blood upon the altar. 

23 And they brought forth the he goats for 
the sin offering before the king and the con- 
gregation; and they laid their hands upon 
them : 

24 And the priests killed them, and they 
made reconciliation with their blood upon the 
altar, to make 9an atonement for all Is'ra-el: 
for the king commanded that the burnt offering 
and the sin offering should be made for all Is'- 
ra-el. 

25 And he set the Le'vites in the house of 
the = Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and 
with harps, according to the commandment of 
Da'vid, and of Gad the king's seer, and Na'-

their land df-solate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth 
thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head. (Jer. 18:16.)

and poured the blood at .the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to

than the prophet : for so was the commandment 
of the "Lord by his prophets. 

26 And the Le'vites stood with the instru- 
ments of Da'vid, and the priests with ''the 
trumpets. 

27 And Hez-e-ki'ah commanded to offer the 
burnt offering upon the altar. And when the 
burnt offering began, the song of the "Lord be- 
gan also with the trumpets, and with the in- 
struments ordained by Da'vid king of Is'ra-el. 

28 And all the congregation worshipped, and 
the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: 
and all this continued until the burnt offering 
was finished. 

29 And when they had made an end of of- 
fering, the king and all that were present with 
him bowed themselves, and worshipped. 

30 Moreover Hez-e-ki'ah the king and the 
princes commanded the Le'vites to sing praise 
unto the Lord with the words of Da'vid, and 
of A'saph the seer. And they sang praises 
with gladness, and they bowed their heads and 
worshipped. 

31 Then Hez-e-ki'ah answered and said, Now 
ye have consecrated yourselves unto the 2 Lord, 
come near and bring sacrifices and thank of- 
ferings 'into the house of the "Lord. And the 
congregation brought in sacrifices and thank 
offerings; and as many as were of a free heart 
burnt offerings. 

32 And the number of the burnt offerings, 
which the congregation brought, was three- 
score and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and 
two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt 
offering to the 2 Lord. 

33 And the consecrated things were six hun- 
dred oxen and three thousand sheep. 

.34 But the priests were too few, so that 
they could not flay all the burnt offerings: 
wherefore their brethren the Le'vites did help 
them, till the work was ended, and until the 
other priests had sanctified themselves: for 
the Le'vites were .more -'upright in heart to 
sanctify themselves than the priests. 

35 And also the burnt offerings were in 
abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, 
and the drink offerings for every burnt offer- 
ing. So the service of the house of the 2 Lord 
was set in order. 

36 And Hez-e-ki'ah rejoiced, and all the 
people, that God had prepared the people: 
for the thing was done suddenly. 

CHAPTER 30. 
1 Hezekiah proclaimeth a solemn passover on 
the second month for Judah and Israel. 13

of idolatry, keep the feast fourteen days.

Ch. 30. B. C. 726. 



1. Hezekiah had already caused an 
atonement to be made for all Israel 
(eh. 29:24). "And the priests -killed 
them and they made reconciliation 
with their bhod upon the altar to 
make an atonement for all Israel; 
for the king commanded that the 
burnt offering and the sin offering 
should be made for all Israel." And 
now he seeks to get all the tribes 
of the northern kingdom to unite 
with Judah at the temple in keeping 
the passover. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



3. The law allowed the keeping 
of the passover in the second month 
if for any special reason, such as 
death or absence on a journey, they 
were unable to keep it on the first. 
(Num. 9:1U, 11) — "Speak unto the 
children of Israel saying. If any man 
of you or of your posterity shall be 
unclean by reason of a dead body or 
be in a journey afar off, yet he shall 
keep the passover unto the Lord. The 
14th day of the second month at 
even they shall keep it. and eat it 
with unleavened bread and bitter 
herbs." 



Runners, messengers. 



Ju'dah, and wrote letters also to E'phra-im and 
Ma-nas'seh, that they should come to the house 
of the 2 Lord at Je-ru'sa-lem, to keep the pass- 
over unto the Lord God of is'ra-el. 

2 For the king had taken counsel, and his 
princes, and all the congregation in Je-ru'sa- 
lem, to keep the passover in the ^second "month. 

3 For they could not keep it at that time, 
because the priests had not sanctified them- 
selves sufficiently, neither had the people gath- 
ered themselves together to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4 And the thing pleased the king and all 
the congregation. 

5 So they established a decree to make 
proclamation throughout all Is'ra-el, from Be'- 
er-she'ba even to Dan, that they should come 
to keep the passover unto the 2 Lord God of 
Is'ra-el at Je-ru'sa-lem: for they had not done 
it of a long time in such sort as it was written. 

6 So the 'posts went with the letters from 
the king and his princes throughout all Is'ra-el 
and Ju'dah, and according to the commandment 
of the king, saying, Ye children of Is'ra-el, 
Hum again unto the 2 Lord God of A'bra-ham, 
I'saac, and Is'ra-el, and he will return to the 
remnant of you, that are escaped out of the 
hand of the kings of As-syr'i-a. 

7 And be not ye c like your fathers, and 
like your brethren, which trespassed against 
the 2 Lord God of their fathers, who therefore 
gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 

8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers 
were, but yield yourselves unto the 2 Lord, and 
enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanc- 
tified for ever: and serve the 2 Lord your God, 
that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away 
from you. 

9 For if ye turn again unto the 2 Lord, your 
brethren and your children shall find d compas- 
sion before them that lead them captive, so 
that they shall come again into this land: for 
the 2 Lord your God is gracious "and merciful, 
and will not turn away his face from you, if 
ye ''return unto him. 

10 So the posts passed from city to city 
through the country of E'phra-im and Ma-nas'- 
seh even unto Zeb'u-lun: but #they laughed 
them to scorn, and mocked them. 

11 Nevertheless divers of Ash'er and Ma- 
nas'seh and of Zeb'u-lun humbled themselves, 
and came to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12 Also in Ju'dah the hand of God was to 
give them one heart to do the commandment 
of the king and of the princes, by the word of 
the 2 Lord. 

13 H And there assembled at Je-ru'sa-lem 
much people to keep the feast of unleavened 
bread in the second month, a very great con- 
gregation. 

14 And they arose and took away the ^altars 



h. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; 
and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your 
generations (8). Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn 
days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the 
trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your 
Deace offerings; that they may he to you for a memorial before your 
God; I am the Lord your God. (Num. 10:8, 10.) 

i. If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the 
sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and un- 
leavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine 
flour, fried. (Lev. 7:12.) 

j. My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. (Ps. 
7:10.) 

Chapter 30. 

a. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you 
or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be 
in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord. 
(Num. 9:10.) 

b. O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by 
thine iniquity. (Hosea 14:1.) And rend your heart, and not your gar- 
ments, and turn unto the Lord your God; for he is gracious and merci- 
ful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the 
evil. (Joel 2:13.) Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone 
away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, 
and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, 
Wherein shall we return? (Mai. 3:7.) 

c. But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not 
in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor 
defile yourselves with their idols. (Ezek. 20:18.) 



d. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their 
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that 
also they have walked contrary unto me. (Lev. 26:40.) 

e. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) With the merciful thou wilt show thy- 
self merciful, with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. 
(Ps. 18:25.) Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say. 
Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause 
mine anger to fall upon you; for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and 
I will not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, 
as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) And the publican, stand- 
ing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but 
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 
18:13.) 

e. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his 
thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy 
upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Is. 55:7.) 

g. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against 
his people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) 

h. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughti- 
ness of men shall be made low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in 
that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go 
into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear 
of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake 
terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, 
and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to wor- 
ship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks.

that were in Je-ru'sa-lem, and all the altars 
for incense took they away, and cast them into 
the brook Kid'ron. 

15 Then they killed the passover on the four- 
teenth day of the second month : and the priests 
and the Le'vites were 'ashamed, and sancti- 
fied themselves, and brought in the burnt offer- 
ings into the house of the "Lord. 

16 And they stood in their 5 place after their 
manner, according to the law of Mo'ses the 
man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, 
which they received of the hand of the Le'vites. 

17 For there were many in the congregation 
that were not sanctified: therefore the Le'- 
vites 6 had the charge of the killing of the pass- 
overs for every one that was not clean, to 
sanctify them unto the "Lord. 

18 For a multitude of the people, even many 
of E'phra-im, and Ma-nas'seh, Is'sa-char, and 
Zeb'u-lun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did 
they eat the passover otherwise than it was 
written. But Hez-e-ki'ah prayed for them, 
saying, The good 2 Lord pardon every one 

19 That prepareth his heart to seek God, 
the "Lord God of his fathers, though he be not 
cleansed according to the purification of the 
sanctuary. 

20 And the 2 Lord hearkened to Hez-e-ki'ah, 
and healed the people. 

21 And the children of Is'ra-el that were 
present at Je-ru'sa-lem, kept the feast of un- 
leavened bread seven days with great glad- 
ness: and the Le'vites and the priests praised 
the "Lord day by day, singing with loud instru- 
ments unto the = Lord. 

22 And Hez-e-ki'ah spake comfortably unto 
all the Le'vites that taught the good knowledge 
of the Lord: and they did eat throughout the 
feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and 
-'making confession to the Lord God of their 
fathers. 

23 And the whole assembly took counsel to 
keep other seven days: and they kept other 
seven days with gladness. 

24 For Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah did give to 
the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven 
thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the 
congregation a thousand bullocks and ten 
thousand sheep : and a great number of priests 
sanctified themselves. 

25 And all the congregation of Ju'dah, with 
the priests and the Le'vites, and all the con- 
gregation that came out of Is'ra-el, and the 
strangers that came out of the land of Is'ra-el, 
and that dwelt in Ju'dah, rejoiced. 

26 So there was great joy in Je-ru'sa-lem : 
for since the time 7 of Sol'o-mon the son of 
Da'vid king of Is'ra-el there was not the 7 like 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

27 r Then the priests the Le'vites arose and

blessed the people: and their voice was heard, 
and their prayer carne up to his holy ^'dwelling 
place, even unto heaven. 

CHAPTER 31. 
1 The people is forward in destroying idolatry. 
2 Hezekiah order eth the courses of the 
priests and Levites. 5 The people's for- 
wardness in offerings and tithes. 20 The 
sincerity of Hezekiah. 

1 2 Now when all this was finished, all Is'- 
ra-el that were present went out to the cities 
of Ju'dah, and "brake the images in pieces, and 
cut down the groves, and threw down the 
high places and the altars out of all Ju'dah 
and Ben ja-min, in E'phra-im also and Jla-nas'- 
seh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. 
Then all the children of Is'ra-el returned, 
every man to his possession, into their own 
cities. 

2 H 2 And Hez-e-ki'ah appointed the courses 
of 6 the priests and the Le'vites after their 
courses, every man according 1 to his service, the 
priests and Le'vites c for burnt Offerings and 
for peace offerings, to minister, and to give 
thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents 
of the *Lord. 

3 He appointed also the king's portion of 
his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, 
for the morning and evening %urnt offerings, 
and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and 
for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as 
it is written in the law of the 4 Lord. 

4 Moreover he commanded the people that 
dwelt in Je-ru'sa-lem to give the e portion of 
the priests and the Le'vites, that they might 
be encouraged in the law of the "Lord. 

5 r And as soon as the commandment came 
abroad, the children of is'ra-el brought in 
abundance the f firstfruits of corn, wine, and 
oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the 
field; and the tithe of all things brought they 
in abundantly. 

6 And concerning the children of Is'ra-el 
and Ju'dah, that dwelt in the cities of Ju'dah, 
they also brought in the tithe of oxen and 
sheep, and the "tithe of holy things which were 
consecrated unto the *Lord their God, and laia 
them by heaps. 

7 In the third month they began to lay the 
foundation of the heaps, and finished them in 
the seventh month. 

8 And when Hez-e-ki'ah and the princes 
came and saw the heaps, they blessed the 4 Lord, 
and his people Is'ra-el. 

9 Then Hez-e-ki'ah questioned with the 
priests and the Le'vites concerning the heaps. 

10 And Az-a-ri'ah the chief priest of the 
house of Za'dok answered him, and said, Since 
the people began Ho bring the offerings into 



and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the 
glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terriblv the earth. (Is. 
2:17-21.) 

i. But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the 
burnt offerings; wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, 
till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified 
themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify them- 
selves than the priests. (II Chr. 29:34.) 

j. Xow therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your fath- 
ers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the people of the 
land, and from the strange wives. (Ezra 10:11.) 

k. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God 
in his holy habitation. (Ps. 68:5.) For thus saith the high and lofty 
One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high 
and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, 
to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the con- 
trite ones. (Is. 57:15.) Thus saith the Lord. Keep ye judgment, and 
do justice; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be 
revealed. (Is. 56:1.) 

Chapter 31. 

a. He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down 
the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had 
made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; 
and he called it Nehushtan. (II Ks. 18:4.) 

b. And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi. 
namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. (I Chr. 23:6..) Now these are 
the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and 
Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. il Chr. 24:1.) 

c. And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and 
likewise at even; And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the 



sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according 
to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord. (I 
Chr. 23:30, 31.) 

d. For the law of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

e. And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been 
given them; for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were 
fled every one to his field. (Xeh. 13:10.) Do ye not know that they 
which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and 
they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? (I Chr. 9:13.) 

f. Thou shall not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of 
thy liquors; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. (Ex. 
22?29.) The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the 
house of the Lord thv God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's 
milk. (Ex. 23:19.) Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and 
the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. (Xeh. 13:12.) Honor the 
Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase. 
(Prov. 3:9.) For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height 
of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of 
them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I 
require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all 
your holy things. (Ezek. 20:40.) 

g. And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, 
or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. (Lev. 
27:30.) At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe 
of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates. 
(Dt. 14:28.) 

h. Is the seed yet in the barn? yea. as yet the vine, and the fig 
tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: 
from this day will I bless you. (Hag. 2:19.) Bring ye all the tithes into 
the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me

the house of the 'Lord, we have had enough to 
eat, and have left plenty: for the 4 Lord hath 
blessed his people; and that which is left is this 
great store. 

11 If Then Hez-e-ki'ah commanded to pre- 
pare chambers in the house of the 4 Lord; and 
they prepared them, 

12 And brought in the offerings and the 
^tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: 
over which C6n-6-ni'ah the Le'vite was ruler, 
and Shim'e-I his brother was the next. 

13 And Je-hi'el, and Az-a-zi'ah, and Na'- 
hath, and A'sa-hel, and Jer'i-moth, and Joz'a- 
bad, and E-li'el, and Is-ma-chi'ah, and Ma - 
hath, and Be-na'iah, were overseers under the 
hand of C6n-o-ni'ah and Shim'e-i his brother, 
at the commandment of Hez-e-ki'ah the king, 
and Az-a-ri'ah the ruler of the house of God. 

14 And Ko're the son of Im'nah the Le'vite, 
the porter toward the east, was over the free- 
will offerings of God, to distribute the oblations 
of the 4 Lord, and the most holy things. 

15 And next him were E'den, and Mi-ni'a- 
min, and Jesh'u-a, and Shem-a-i'ah, Am-a-ri'- 
ah, and Shec-a-ni'ah, in the cities of the priests, 
in their set office, to give to their brethren by 
courses, as well to the great as to the small : 

16 Beside their genealogy of males, from 
three years old and upward, even unto every 
one that 5 entereth into the house of the Lord, 
his daily portion for their service in their 
charges according to their courses; 

17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by 
the house of their fathers, and the Le'vltes 
from twenty years old and upward, in their 
charges by their courses; 

18 And to the genealogy of all their little 
ones, their wives, and their sons, and their 
daughters, through all the congregation: for 
in their set office they sanctified themselves 
in holiness: 

19 Also of the sons of Aar'on the priests, 
which were in 'the fields of the suburbs of 
their cities, in every several city, the men that 
were ^expressed by name, to give portions to 
all the males among the priests, and to all that 
were reckoned by genealogies among the Le'- 
vltes. 

20 I 1 And thus did Hez-e-ki'ah throughout all 
Ju'dah, and ^'wrought that which was good and 
right and truth before the Lord his God. 

21 And in every work that he began in the 
service of the house of God, and in the law, 
and in the commandments, to seek his God, he 
did it with all his heart, and prospered.

2 And when Hez-e-ki'ah saw that Sen-nach'- 
e-rib was come, and that he was purposed to 
fight against Je-ru'sa-lem, 

3 He took counsel with his princes and his 
mighty men to stop the waters of the foun- 
tains which were without the city: and they 
did help him. 

4 So there was gathered much people to- 
gether, who stopped all the fountains, and the 
brook that ran through the midst of the land, 
saying, Why should the kings of As-syr'i-a 
come, and find much water? 

5 Also he strengthened himself, and built 
up all the wall that was broken, and raised it 
up to the towers, and another wall without, 
and repaired Mil'lo in the city of Da'vid, and 
made darts and shields in abundance. 

6 And he set captains of war over the peo- 
ple, and gathered them together to him in the 
street of the gate of the city, and spake com- 
fortably to them, saying,

nor dismayed for the king of As-syr'i-a, nor 
for all the multitude that is with him: d ior 
there be more with us than with him: 

8 With him is an <*arm of flesh; but *with us 
is the : Lord our God to help us, and to fight 
our battles. And the people rested themselves 
upon the words of Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah. 

9 If After this did Sen-nach'e-rib king of 
As-syr'i-a send his servants to Je-ru'sa-lem, 
(but he himself laid siege against La'chish, and 
all his power with him,) unto Hez-e-ki'ah king 
of Ju'dah, and unto all Ju'dah that were at 
Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, 

10 Thus saith Sen-nach'e-rib king of As- 
syr'i-a, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in 
the siege in Je-ru'sa-lem? 

11 Doth not Hez-e-ki'ah persuade you to give 
over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, 
saying, The 2 Lord our God shall deliver us out 
of the hand of the king of As-syr'i-a? 

12 Hath not the same Hez-e-ki'ah taken 
away his high places and his altars, and com- 
manded Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, Ye 
shall worship before one altar, and burn in- 
cense upon it? 

13 Knovv ye not what I and my fathers have 
done unto all the people of other lands? ''were 
the gods of the nations of those lands any 
ways able to deliver their lands out of mine 
hand? 

14 Who was there among all the gods of 
those nations that my fathers utterly des- 
troyed, that could deliver his people out of 
mine hand, that your God should be able to 
deliver you out of mine hand? 

15 Now therefore let not Hez-e-ki'ah deceive 
you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither 
yet believe him: for no good of any nation or 
kingdom was able to deliver his people out of 
mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers : 



now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the win- 
dows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be 
room enough to receive it. (Mai. 3:10.) 

i. But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for 
it is their perpetual possession. (Lev. 25:34.) Command the children of 
Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their pos- 
session cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites 
suburbs for the cities round about them. (Num. 35:2.) 

j. See vs. 12-15. 

k. I beseech thee, Lord, remember now how I have walked before 
thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is 
good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. (II Ks. 20:3.) And he did 
that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the 
way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to 
the left. (II Ks. 22:2.) 

Chapter 32. 

a. See II Ks. 18:13-19; and Is. 36:1-37. 

b. Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; 
for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) Then shalt thou prosper, if thou 
takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the Lord charged 



Mcses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread 
not, nor be dismayed. (I Chr. 22:13.) 

c. And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, 
Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the 
battle is not yours, but God's. (II Chr. 20:15.) 

d. And he answered, Pear not; for they that be with us are more 
than they that be with them. (II Ks. 6:16.) The Lord is my light and 
my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; 
of whom shall I be afraid? (1). Though an host should encamp against 
me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise against me, in 
this will I be confident. (Ps. 27:1, 3.) What shall we then say to these 
things? If God be for us, who can be Against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

e. Thus saith the Lord: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, 
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 
(Jer. 17:5.) 

f. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They 
have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; 
The^ have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell 
not; They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk 
not; neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are 
like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. (Ps. 115:4-8.)

0how much less shall your God deliver you out 
of mine hand? 

16 And his servants spake yet more against 
the : Lord God, and against his servant Hez- 
e-ki'ah. 

17 He wrote also letters to rail on the Lord 
God of Is'ra-el, and to speak against him, say- 
ing, As the gods of the nations of other lands 
have not delivered their people out of mine 
hand, so shall not the God of Hez-e-ki'ah de- 
liver his people out of mine hand. 

18 Then they cried with a loud voice in the 
Jews' speech unto the people of Je-ru'sa-lem 
that" were on the wall, to affright them, and to 
trouble them; that they might take the city. 

19 And they spake against the God of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, as against the gods of the people of 
the earth, which were ''the work of the hands 
of man. 

20 And for this cause Hez-e-ki'ah theking, 
and the prophet I-sa'iah the son of A'moz, 
prayed and cried to heaven. 

21 ^And the : Lord sent an angel, which 
cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the 
leaders and captains in the camp of the king 
of As-syr'i-a. So he returned with shame of 
face to his own land. And when he was come 
into the house of his god, they that came forth 
of his own bowels slew him there with the 
sword. 

22 Thus the 2 Lord 'saved Hez-e-ki'ah and 
the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem from the hand 
of Sen-nach'e-rib the king of As-syr'i-a, and 
from the hand of all other, and guided them 
on every side. 

23 And many brought gifts unto the = Lord 
to Je-ru'sa-lem, and presents to Hez-e-ki'ah 
king of Ju'dah: so that he was magnified in 
the sight of all nations from thenceforth. 

24 f •'In those days Hez-e-ki'ah was sick to 
the death, and prayed unto the Lord: and he 
spake unto him, and he gave him a sign. 

25 But Hez-e-ki'ah rendered not again ac- 
cording to the benefit done unto him; for his 
heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath 
upon him, and upon Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem. 

26 Notwithstanding Hez-e-ki'ah humbled 
himself for the pride of his heart, both he and 
the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, so that the 
wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the 
days of Hez-e-ki'ah. 

27 If And Hez-e-ki'ah had exceeding much 
riches and honour: and he made himself treas-

all manner of 3 pleasant jewels; 

28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, 
and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of 
beasts, and cotes 4 for flocks. 

29 Moreover he provided him cities, and pos- 
sessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for 
God had given him substance very much. 

30 This same Hez-e-ki'ah also stopped the 
upper watercourse of Gi'hon, and brought it 
straight down to the west side of the city of 
Da'vid. And Hez-e-ki'ah prospered in all his 
works. 

31 H Howbeit in the business of the ambassa- 
dors of the princes of Bab'y-lon, who sent unto 
him to enquire of the wonder that was done in 
the land, God left him, to try him, that he 
might know all that was in his heart. 

32 *y Now the r.est of the acts of Hez-e-ki'ah, 
and his goodness, behold, they are written in 
the vision of I-sa'iah the prophet, the son of 
A'moz, and in the book of the kings of Ju'dah 
and Is'ra-el. 

33 And Hez-e-ki'ah slept with his fathers, 
and they buried him in the chiefest of the 
sepulchres of the sons of Da'vid: and all Ju'- 
dah and the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem did him 
A 'honour at his death. And Ma-nas'seh his son 
reigned in his stead.

began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five 
years in Je-ru'sa-lem:

of the "Lord, like unto the abominations of 
the heathen, whom the 2 Lord had cast out 
before the children of Is'ra-el.

Hez-e-ki'ah his father had 6 broken down, and 
he reared up altars for Ba'al-Im, and c made 
groves, and worshipped ^all the host of heaven, 
and served them. 

4 Also he built altars in the house of the 
2 Lord, whereof the 2 Lord had said, In Je-ru'- 
sa-lem shall my name be for ever.

(Ex. 5:2.) Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound 
of the cornet, -flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds 
of musick, ye fall down ana worship the image which I have made; 
but if ye worship not, ye shall be east the same hour into the midst of a 
burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out 
of my hands? (Dan. 3:15.) 

h. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood 
and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. (Dt. 4:28.) 
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. (Ps. 115:4.) 
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 
(Ps. 135:15.) For the customs of the people are vain; for one eutteth a 
tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the 
ax. (Jer. 10:3.) 

i. As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; de- 
fending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. 
(Is. 31:5.) 

j. In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet 
Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith 
the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying, 
I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee 
in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in 
thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. And it came to pass, afore Isaiah 
was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to 
him, saying, Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, 
Thus saith the Lord, the God ,of David thy father, I have heard thy 
prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will heal thee; on the third 
day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. And I will add unto 
thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the 
hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own 
sake, and for my servant David's sake. And Isaiah said, Take a lump 
of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. And 
Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will 
heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third 
day? And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the 
Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go for- 



ward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? And Hezekiah answered, It 
is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let 
the shadow return backward ten degrees. And Isaiah the prophet cried 
unto the Lord: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by 
which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. (II Ks. 20:1-11.) In those 
days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the 
son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. Then 
Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, 
And said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked 
before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which 
is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. Then came the word 
of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the 
Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have 
seen thy tears; behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I 
will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; 
and I will defend this city. And this shall be a sign unto thee, from 
the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he has spoken; Behold. 
I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in 
the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten 
degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. (Is. 38:1-8.) 

k. Therefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy 
house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: 
but now tha Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I 
will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. (I Sam. 
2:30.) The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked 
shall rot. (Prov. 10:7.)

b. He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down

c. Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the 
altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee. (Dt. 16:21.)

Lord. 

6 And he caused his children to pass through 
the fire in the valley of the son of Hin'nom: 
also he observed times, and used enchantments, 
and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar 
spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil 
in the sight of the "Lord, to provoke him to 
anger. 

7 And he set c a carved image, the idol which 
he had made, in the house of God, of which 
God had said to Da'vid and to Sol'o-mon his 
son, In this house, and in Je-ru'sa-lem, which 
I have chosen before all the tribes of Is'ra-el, 
will I put my name for ever: 

8 Neither will I any more remove the foot 
of is'ra-el from out of the land which I have 
appointed for your fathers; so that they will 
take heed to do all that I have commanded 
them, according to the whole law and the stat- 
utes and the ordinances by the hand of Mo'- 
§es. 

9 So Ma-nas'seh made Ju'dah and the in- 
habitants of Je-ru'sa-lem to err, and to do 
worse than the heathen, whom the "Lord had 
destroyed before the children of Is'ra-el. 

10 And the "Lord spake to Ma-nas'seh, and 
to his people: but they would not hearken. 

11 % Wherefore the 2 Lord brought upon them 
the captains of the host of the king of As- 
syr'i-a, which took Ma-nas'seh among the 
3 thorns, and bound him with fetters, and car- 
ried him to Baby-Ion. 

12 And when he was in affliction, he be- 
sought the "Lord his God, and ''humbled him- 
self greatly before the God of his fathers, 

13 And prayed unto him: and he was in- 
treated of him, and heard his supplication, 
and brought him again to Je-ru'sa-lem into his 
kingdom. Then Ma-nas'seh »knew that the 
Lord he was God. 

14 Now after this he built a wall without 
the city of Da'vid, on the west side of Gi'hon, 
in the valley, evert to the entering in at the 
fish gate, and compassed about O'phel, and 
raised it up a very great height, and put cap- 
tains of war in all the fenced cities of Ju'dah. 

15 And he took away the strange gods, and 
the idol out of the house of the "Lord, and all 
the altars that he had built in the mount of 
the house of the 2 Lord, and in Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and cast them out of the city. 

16 And he repaired the altar of the 2 Lord, 
and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and 
thank offerings, and commanded Ju'dah to 
serve the Lord God of is'ra-el. 

17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still 
in the high places, yet unto the 2 Lord their 
God only.

and his prayer unto his God, and the words of 
the seers that spake to him in the name of 
the 2 Lord God of is'ra-el, behold, they are 
written in the book of the kings of is'ra-el. 

19 His prayer also, and how God was in- 
treated of him, and all his sins, and his tres- 
pass, and the places wherein he built high 
places, and set up groves and graven images, 
before he was humbled: behold, they are writ- 
ten among the sayings of the seers. 

20 II So Ma-nas'seh slept with his fathers, 
and they buried him in his own house: and 
A'mon his son reigned in his stead. 

21 IT A'mon was two and twenty years old 
when he began to reign, and reigned two years 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

22 But he did that which "was evil in the 
sight of the 2 Lord, as did Ma-nas'seh his father : 
for A'mon sacrificed unto all the carved images 
which Ma-nas'seh his father had made, and 
served them; 

23 And humbled not himself before the 
2 Lord, as Ma-nas'seh his father had humbled 
himself; but A'mon trespassed more and more. 

24 And his servants conspired against him, 
and slew him in his own house. 

25 1f But the people of the land slew all them 
that had conspired against king A'mon; and 
the people of the land made Jo-sl'ah his son 
king in his stead.

1 Josiah's good reign. 3 He destroyeth idol- 
atry. 14 Hilkiah having found a book of 
the law, Josiah sendeth to Huldah to enquire 
of the Lord. 23 Huldah prophesieth the de- 
struction of Jerusalem, but respite thereof 
in Josiah's time. 

1 Mo-sl'ah was eight years old when he be- 
gan to reign, and he reigned in Je-ru'sa-lem 
one and thirty years. 

2 And he did that which was "right in the 
sight of the 2 Lord, and walked in the ways of 
Da'vid his father, and declined neither to the 
right hand, nor to the left. 

3 U For in the eighth year of his reign, 
while he was 6 yet young, he began to c seek 
after the God of Da'vid his father: and in the 
twelfth year he began to purge Ju'dah and 
Je-ru'sa-lem from the high places, and the 
groves, and the carved images, and the molten 
images. 

4 And ^they brake down the altars of Ba'al- 
1m in his presence; and the images, that were 
on high above them, he cut down; and the 
groves, and the carved images, and the molten 
images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of 
them, and e strowed it upon the graves of them 
that had sacrificed unto them. 

5 And he ''burnt the bones of the priests 



e. And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in a 
house, of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In 
this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of 
Israel, will I put my name for ever. (II Ks. 21:7.) For this ye know, 
that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an 
idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 
(Eph. 5:5.) 

f. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that 
he may exalt you in due time. (I Pet. 5:6.) 

g. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth; the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps.

b. Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after 
Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, 
saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord. (I Sam. 1:20.) Where- ' 
withal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto 
according to thy word. (Ps. 119:9.) I love them that love me; and 
those that seek me early shall find me. (Prov. 8:17.) Remember now 
thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor 
the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. 
(Ecc. 12:1.) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, 
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which 
is in Christ Jesus. (II Tim. 3:15.) 

c. And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him. Hear ye me, 
Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be 



with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye for- 
sake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) And thou, Solomon my 
son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect 
heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and 
understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts; if thou seek him, 
he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee 
off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) And ye shall seek me, and find me, when 
ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jer. 29:13.) Ask, and it 
shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be 
opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) 

d. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, 
and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul 
shall abhor you. (Lev. 26:30.) 

e. And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in tha 
fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made 
the children of Israel drink of it. (Ex. 32:20.) And the king com- 
manded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, 
and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the 
Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and 
for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in 
the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel. (II 
Ks. 23:4.) 

f. And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there 
upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to 
Jerusalem. (II Ks. 23:20.) And he cried against the altar in the word 
of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a 
child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon 
thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense 
upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. (I Ks. 13:2.)

6 And so did he in the cities of ~Ma-nas'seh ; 
and E'phra-im, and Sim e-on, even unto Naph- 
ta-li, with their mattocks round about. 

7 And when he had broken down the altars 
and the groves, and had beaten the ^graven 
images into powder, and cut down all the idols 
throughout all the land of is'ra-el, he returned 
to Je-ru'sa-leni. 

8 r Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, 
when he had purged the land, and the house, 
he sent Sha'phan the son of Az-a-H'ah, and 
ila-a-se'iah the governor of the city, and Jo'ah 
the son of Jo'a-haz the recorder, to repair the 
house of the "Lord his God. 

9 And when they came to Hll-ki'ah the high 
priest, they delivered the money that was 
brought into the house of God, which the Le'- 
vites that kept the doors _had gathered of the 
hand of ila-nas'seh and E'phra-Im, and of all 
the remnant of Is'ra-el, and of all Ju'dah and 
Ben'ja-min; and they returned to Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

10 And they put it in the hand of the work- 
men that had the oversight of the house of the 
; Lord, and they gave it to the workmen that 
wrought in the house of the "Lord, to repair 
and amend the house: 

11 Even to the 'artificers and builders gave 
they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for 
couplings, and to floor the houses which the 
kings of Ju'dah had destroyed. 

12 And the men did the 7i work faithfully: 
and the overseers of them were Ja'hath and 
O-ba-dT'ah, the Le'vites, of the sons of Me-ra'- 
ri; and Zech-a-ri'ah and Ale-shul'lam, of the 
sons of the Ko'hath-ites, to set it forward; 
and other of the Le'vites, all that could 4 skill 
of instruments of musick. 

13 Also they were over the bearers of bur- 
dens, and were overseers of all that wrought 
the work in any manner of service: "'and of 
the Le'vites there were 5 scribes, and officers, 
and porters. 

14 *~ And when they brought out the money 
that was brought into the house of the "Lord, 
Hil-kl'ah the priest found -'a book of the law 
of the = Lord given by "Mo'§es. 

15 And Hil-kl'ah answered and said to Sha'- 
phan the scribe, I have found tbe book of the 
law in the house of the "Lord. And Hil-kl'ah 
delivered the book to Sha'phan. 

16 And Sha'phan carried the book to the 
king, and brought the king word back again. 
saying, All that was committed to thy servants, 
they do it. 

17 And they have gathered together the 
money that was found in the house of the 
"Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of 
the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen. 

18 Then Sha'phan the scribe told the king, 
saying, Hil-kl'ah the priest hath given me a 
book. And Sha'phan read "-"it before the king. 

19 And it came to pass, when the king had 
heard the "words of the law, that he rent his 
clothes. 



That is, skiUed workmen. 



4. That is. all who were skilled 
in the use of musical instruments. 



5, Here fcr the first time is men- 
tioned an order of scribes or division 
of the Levitleal body, although the 
order was probably founded by Heze- 
kiah. who employed special men to 
search out and copy the uncollected 
proverbs of Solomon. (Prov. 25:1.) 
Hence a class or order of serines 
must hare been instituted at that 
time. 



20 And the king commanded Hil-kl'ah, and 
A-hi'kam the son of Sha phan, and Ab don the 
son of "Mi'cah, and Sha phan the scribe, and 
A-sa-i'ah a servant of the king's, saying, 

21 Go, enquire '"of the "Lord for me, and 
for them that are left in is'ra-el and in Ju'dah, 
concerning the words of the book that is 
found: for great is the wrath of the "Lord 
that is poured out upon us, because our fathers 
have not kept the word of the "Lord, to do 
after all that is written in this book. 

22 And Hil-kl'ah, and they that the king had 
appointed, went to Hul'dan the '"'prophetess, 
the wife of Shal'lum the son of Tik'vath, the 
son of Has 'rah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now 
she dwelt in Je-ru'sa-lem in the college:) and 
they spake to her to that effect. 

23 *~ And she answered them, Thus saith the 
Lord God of Is'ra-el, Tell ye the man that sent 
you to me, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I °will bring 
evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants 
thereof, even all the curses that are written in 
the book which they have read before the king 
of Ju'dah : 

25 Because they have forsaken me, and have 
burned incense unto other gods, that they might 
provoke me to anger with all the works of 
their hands; therefore my wrath shall be 
poured out upon this place, and shall not be 
quenched. 

26 And as for the king of Ju'dah, who sent 
you to "enquire of the Lord, so shall ye say 
unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Is'ra-el 
concerning the words which thou hast heard; 

27 Because thine heart was tender, and 
thou didst humble thyself before God, when 
thou heardest his words against this place, and 
against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst 
thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, 
and weep before me; I have even heard thee 
also, saith the Lord. 

28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, 
and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in 
peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil 
that I will bring upon this place, and upon the 
inhabitants of the same. So they brought 
the king word again. 

29 *~ Then the king sent and gathered to- 
gether all the elders of Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem. 

30 And the king went up into the house of 
the Lord, and all the men of Ju'dah, and the 
inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, and the priests, 
and the Le'vites, and all the people, great and 
small: and he read in their ears all the words 
of the book of the covenant that was found 
in the house of the Lord. 

31 And the king stood in his place, and 
made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after 
the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and 
his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his 
heart, and with all his soul, to perform the 
words of the covenant which are written in 
this book. 

32 And he caused all that> were present in 
Je-ru'sa-lem and Ben'ja-min .to stand to it. 
And the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem did accord- 



g. And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it 
with fire, and stamped it, and ground it verv small, even until it was 
as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that de- 
scended out of the mount. (Dt. 9:21.) For in that day every man shall 
oast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold* which vour own 
hands have made unto you for a sin. (Is. 31:7.) 

h. A faithful man shall abound with blessings; but he that maketh 
haste to be rich shall not be innocent. (Prov. 2S:20.) 

i. Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work 
of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were officers and judges: 
Moreover four thousand were porters: and four thousand praised the 
Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise there- 
with. (I Chr. 23:4, 3.) 

j. And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing 
the words of this law in a book, until they were finished (24). Take this 
book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. (Dt. 
31:24, 2G.) And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I 
have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hil- 
kiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. (II Ks. 22:8.) 



k. And it shall be with him, and he shall read therem all the days 
of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all 
the words of this law and these statutes, to do them. (Dt. 17:19.) This 
book of the law shall not depart cut of thy mouth: but thou shalt medi- 
tate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according 
to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way pros- 
perous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Josh. 1:8.)

n. And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged 
Israel at that time. (Jud. 4:4.) And there was one Anna, a prophetess, 
a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, 
and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity. (Luke 
2:36.) And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did 
prophesy. (Acts 21:9.) 

o. Behold. I will send and take all the families of the north, saith 
the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and 
will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, 
and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, 
and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desola- 
tions. (Jer. 25:9.)

ing to the covenant of God, the God of their 
fathers. 

33 And Jo-si'ah took away all the abomina- 
tions out of all the countries that pertained 
to the children of Is'ra-el, and made all that 
were present in Is'ra-el to serve, even to serve 
the "Lord their God. And all his days they 
departed not from following the 2 Lord, the God 
of their fathers. 

CHAPTER 35. 
1 Josiah keepeth a most solemn passover. 20 
He, provoking Pharaoh-necho, is slain at 
Megiddo. 25 Lamentations for Josiah. 

1 ^Moreover Jo-si'ah "kept a passover unto 
the "Lord in Je-ru'sa-lem: and they killed the 
passover on the ''fourteenth day of the first 
month. 

2 And he set the priests in their charges, 
and c encouraged them to the service of the 
house of the 'Lord, 

3 And said unto the Le'vites d that taught 
all Is'ra-el, which were holy unto the "Lord, 
Put the holy ark c in the house ivhich Sbl'o- 
mon the son of Da'vid king of Is'ra-el did 
build; Ht shall not be a burden upon your 
shoidders:. serve now the "Lord your God, and 
his people is'ra-el, 

4 And prepare yourselves by the houses of 
your fathers, after your courses, according to 
the writing of David king of Is'ra-el, and ac- 
cording to the writing of Sol'o-mon his son. 

5 And stand in the holy place according to 
the divisions of the families of the fathers of 
your brethren the people, and after the divi- 
sion of the families of the Le'vites. 

6 So kill the passover, and sanctify your- 
selves, and prepare your brethren, that they 
may do according to the word of the "Lord by 
the hand of Mose§. 

7 And Jo-si'ah gave to the people, of the 
flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover 
offerings, for all that were present, to the num- 
ber of thirty thousand, and three thousand bid- 
locks: these were of the king's substance. 

8 And his princes gave ivillingly unto the 
people, to the priests, and to the Le'vites: 
Hil-ki'ah and Zech-a-ri'ah and Je-hi'el, riders 
of the house of God, gave unto the priests for 
the passover offerings two thousand and six 
hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. 

9 Con-a-ni'ah also, and Shem-a-i'ah and Ne- 
than'e-el, his brethren, and Hash-a-bi'ah and 
Je-i'el and Joz'a-bad, chief of the Le'vites, 
gave unto the Le'vites for passover offerings 
five thousand small cattle, and five hundred 
oxen. 

10 So the service was prepared, and the 
priests stood in their place, and the Le'vites in 
their courses, according to the king's com- 
mandment. 

11 And they killed the passover, and the 
priests Osprinkled the blood from their hands, 
and the Le'vites h flayed them. 



Ch. 35. B. C. 623-610. 



1. Though this ch. is parallel to 
the passover recorded in II Ks. 23. 
the writer of Kings disposes of it in 
three Yerses (21-23). while the 
Chronicler devotes to it 19 verses (1- 
19), thus dwelling more fully on the 
religious side of the king's reign than 
does the Book of Kings.

of Egypt, to Josiah. Although Nccho 
was a heathen, he declared himself to 
he one favored of Jehovah. 



12 And they removed the burnt offerings, 
that they might give according to the divisions 
of the families of the people, to offer unto the 
"Lord, as it is written in the book of Mo'§e§. 
And so did they with the oxen. 

13 And they 'roasted the passover with fire 
according to the ordinance: but the other holy 
offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and 
in pans, and divided them speedily among all 
the people. 

14 And afterward they made ready for 
themselves, and for the priests: because the 
priests the sons of Adr'on were busied in offer- 
ing of burnt offerings and the fat until night; 
therefore the Le'vites prepared for themselves, 
and for the priests the sons of Adr'on. 

15 And the singers the sons of A'saph were 
in their place, according to the commandment 
of Da'vid, and A'saph, and He'man, and Jed'- 
u-thun the king's seer; and the porters waited 
at every gate; they might not devart from 
their service; for their brethren the Le'vites. 
prepared for them. 

16 So all the service of the "Lord was pre- 
pared the same day, to keep the passover, and 
to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the 
"Lord, according to the commandment of king 
Jo-si'ah. 

17 And the children of Is'ra-el that were 
present kept the passover at that time, and the 
feast of unleavened i bread seven days. 

18 And there ivas no passover like to that 
kept in Is'ra-el from the days of Sam'u-el 
the prophet; neither did all the kings of Is'- 
ra-el keep such a passover as Jo-si'ah kept, and 
the priests, and the Le'vites, and all Ju'dah 
and Is'ra-el that were present, and the inhab- 
itants of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of 
Jo-si'ah ivas this passover kept. 

20 1f After all this, when Jo-si'ah had pre- 
pared the temple, Ne'cho king of E'gypt came 
up to fight against Char'che-mish by Eu-phra'- 
te§: and Jo-si'ah went out against him. 

21 But he sent ambassadors to him. saying, 
What have I to do with thee, thou king of 
Ju'dah? I come not against thee this day, but 
against the house wherewith I have war: for 
God Commanded me to make haste: forbear 
thee from meddling with God, who is with me, 
that he destroy thee not. 

22 Nevertheless Jo-si'ah would not turn his 
face from him, but disguised himself, that he 
might fight with him, and hearkened not unto 
the words of Ne'cho from the mouth of God, 
and came to fight in the valley of Me-gid'do. 

23 And the archers shot at king Jo-si'ah; 
and the king said to his servants, Have me 
away; for I am sore wounded. 

24 His servants therefore took him out of 
that chariot, and put him in the second chariot 
that he had; and they brought him to Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and he died, and was buried in one of 



Chapter 35. 

a. And the king commarded all the people, saying, Keep the pass- 
over unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this 
covenant (21). Surely there was not holden such a passover from the 
days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings 
of Israel, nor the kings of Judah. (II Ks. 2:21, 22.) 

b. And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same 
month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill 
it in the evening. (Ex. 12:6.) And the children of the captivity kept 
the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month. (Ezra 6:19.) 

c. And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now your- 
selves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and 
carry forth the filthiness out of the holy plaee (5). My sons, be not 
now negligent; for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to 
serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense. 
(II Chr. 29:5, 11.)-- 

d. They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they 
shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. 
(Dt. 33:10.) O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of 
the Lord straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good 
to him that walketh uprightly? 

e. And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord 



unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even 
under the wings of the cherubim. (It Chr. 5:7.) 

f. And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the taber- 
nacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof. (I Chr. 23:26.) 

g. So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, 
and sprinkled it on the altar; likewise, when they had killed the rams, 
they sprinkled the blood upon the altar; they killed also the lambs, and 
they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. (II Chr. 29:22.) 

h. But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the 
burnt offerings; wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till 
the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified them- 
selves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify them- 
selves than the priests. (II Chr. 29:34.) 

i. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and 
unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs shall they eat it. Eat not of 
it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with 
his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. (Ex. 12:8, 9.) And thou shalt 
roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: and 
thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents. (Dt. 16:7.) 

j. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye 
shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leav- 
ened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be 
cut off from Israel. (Ex. 12:15.)

the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Ju'dah 
and Je-ru'sa-lem mourned for Jo-si'ah. 

25 "And Jer-e-mi'ah lamented for Jo-si'ah: 
and all the singing men and tne singing women 
spake of Jo-si'ah in their lamentations to this 
day, and made them an ordinance in Is'ra-el: 
and, behold, they are written in the lamenta- 
tions. 

26 Now the rest of the acts of Jo-si'ah, and 
his goodness, according to that which was 
written in the law of the Lord, 

27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, 
they are written in the book of the kings of 
Is'ra-el and Ju'dah. 

CHAPTER 36. 
1 Jehoahaz is deposed by Pharaoh, and carried 
into Egypt. 5 Jehoiakim and 9 Jehoiachin 
are brought into Babylon. 14 Jerusalem is 
wholly destroyed. 22 The proclamation of 
Cyrus. 

I a Then the people of the land took Je-h5- 
a-haz the son of Jo-si'ah, and made him king 
in his father's stead in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

'2 Je-ho'a-haz was twenty and three years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned three 
months in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3 And the king of E'gypt put him down at 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and condemned the land in an 
hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 

4 And the king of E'gypt made E-li'a-kim 
his brother king over Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and turned his name to Je-hoi'a-kim. And Ne'- 
cho took Je-ho'a-haz his brother, and carried 
him to E'gypt. 

5 1f Je-hoi'a-kim was twenty and five years 
old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
eleven years 'in Je-ru'sa-lem : and he did that 
which °was evil in the sight of the 2 Lord his 
God. 

6 Against him came up Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
king of Bab'y-lon, and bound him in fetters, to 
carry him to Baby-Ion. 

7 Neb-u-chad-nez'zar also carried of the ves- 
sels of the house of the 2 Lord to Bab'y-lon, and 
put them in his temple at Bab'y-lon. 

8 Now the rest of the acts of Je-hoi'a-kim, 
and his abominations which he did, and that 
which was found in him, behold, they are writ- 
ten in the book of the kings of Is'ra-el and 
Ju'dah : and Je-hoi'a-chin his son reigned in 
his stead. 

9 If Je-hoi'a-chin was eight years old when 
he began to reign, and he reigned three months 
and ten days in Je-ru'sa-lem: and he did that 
which was evil in the sight of the 2 Lord. 

10 And when the year was expired, king 
Neb-u-chad-hez'zar sent, and brought him to 
Bab'y-lon, with the goodly vessels of the house 
of the Lord, and made Zed-e-ki'ah his brother 
king over Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem.

old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven 
years in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12 And he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the 2 Lord his God, and humbled not 
himself before Jer-e-mi ah the prophet speak- 
ing from the mouth of the "Lord. 

13 And & he also rebelled against king Neb- 
u-chad-nez'zar, who had made him swear by 
God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened 
his heart from turning unto the 2 Lord God of 
Is'ra-el. 

14 II Moreover all the chief of the priests, 
and the people, transgressed very much after 
all the abominations of the heathen; and pol- 
luted the house of the "Lord which he had 
hallowed in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15 And the 2 Lord God of their fathers sent 
to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, 
and sending; because he had compassion on 
his people, and on his dwelling place: 

16 But they mocked the messengers of God, 
and despised his words, and misused his proph- 
ets, until the Avrath of the 2 Lord arose against 
his people, till there was no remedy. 

17 Therefore he brought upon them the king 
of the Chal'dees, who slew their young men 
with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, 
and had no compassion upon young man or 
maiden, old man. or him that stooped for age: 
he gave them all into his hand. 

18 And c all the vessels of the house of God, 
great and small, and the treasures of the 
house of the 2 Lord, and the treasures of the 
king, and of his princes; all these he brought 
to Bab'y-lon. 

19 And they burnt the house of God, and 
brake down the wall of Je-ru'sa-lem, and burnt 
all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed 
all the goodly vessels thereof. 

20 And them that had escaped from the 
sword carried he away to Bab'y-lon; where 
they were servants to him and his sons until 
the reign of the kingdom of Per'sia: 

21 To fulfil the word of the ""Lord by the 
mouth of Jer-e-mi'ah, until the land d had en- 
joyed her sabbaths : for as long as she lay deso- 
late she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and 
ten years. 

22 \ Now in the first year of Cy'rus king of 
Per'sia, that the word of the 2 Lord spoken by 
the mouth of Jer-e-mi'ah f might be accom- 
plished, the 2 Lcrd stirred up the spirit of 
Cy'rus king of Per'sia, that he made a proc- 
lamation throughout all his kingdom, and put 
it also in writing, saying, 

23 Thus saith Cy'rus king of Per'sia, All 
the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God 
of heaven given me; and he hath charged me 
to build him an house in Je-ru'sa-lem, which 
is in Ju'dah. Who is there among you of all 
his people? The 2 Lord his God be with him, 
and let him go up.

b. But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into 
Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he 
prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the 
covenant, and be delivered? (Ezek. 17:15.) 

c. And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, 



and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, 
did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to 
Babylon. (II Ks. 25:13.) 

d. And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testi- 
mony in the most high place. (Lev. 26:34.) 

e. Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet 
Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. (Jer. 28:10.) 



EZRA 



NOTE. — Ezra Is a direct continuation of the Chronicles and Is by the same author, viz., Ezra. This book covers a period of about 80 years and 
affords the principal Information concerning the return of the Jews from the Babylonish exile and the rebuilding of the temple. The last 4 chs. are devoted 
Inrgely to the life of the writer and may be considered his autobiography. As the first 6 chs. are mainly devoted to the rebuilding of the temple and are 
largely copies of letters from the king of that time, a very noticeable feature of the book is its diversity of language occasioned by the above mentioned 
letters, all of which were copied In their native language. It Is therefore written partly in Hebrew and partly in Chaldee. 

Nehemiah treats of the same period as the Book of Ezra. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The proclamation of Cyrus for the building 
of the temple. 7 Cyrus restoreth the vessels 
of the temple to Sheshbazzar. 

1 Now Mn the first ^ear f Qy'rus king of 
Per'gia, that the word of the "Lord by the 
mouth of Jer-e-mi'ah might be fulfilled, the 
3 Lord stirred up the 4 spirit of Qy'rus king of 
Persia, that he made a a proclamation through- 
out all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, 
saying, 

2 Thus saith Qy'rus king of Per'§ia, The 
3 Lord God of heaven hath given me all the 
kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged 
6 me to build him an house at Je-ru'sa-lem, 
which is in Ju'dah. 

3 Who is there among you of all his people? 
his God be with him, and let him go up to 
Je-ru'sa-lem, which is in Ju'dah, and build 
the house of the 3 Lord God of Is'ra-el, (he is 
c the God,) which is in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4 And whosoever remaineth in any place 
where he sojourneth, let the men of his place 
help him with silver, and with gold, and with 
goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill of- 
fering for the house of God that is in Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. 

5 1f 5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers 
of Ju'dah and Ben'ja-min, and the priests, and 
the Le'vites, with all them whose spirit God 
had ^raised, to go up to build the house of the 
3 Lord which is in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6 And all they that were about them 
strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, 
with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and 
with precious things, beside all that was will- 
ingly offered. 

7 H Also r Cy'rus the king brought forth the 
vessels of the house of the Lord, which Neb- 
u-chad-nez'zar had brought forth out of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and had put them in the house of 
his gods; 

8 Even those did Qy'rus king of Persia 
bring forth by the hand of Mith're-dath the 
treasurer, and numbered them unto Shesh- 
baz'zar, the prince of Ju'dah. 

9 And this is the number of them: thirty 
chargers of gold, a thousand 6 chargei*s of sil- 
ver, nine and twenty knives, 

10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a 
second sort four hundred and ten, and other 
vessels a thousand. 

11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were 
five thousand and four hundred. All these 
did Shesh-baz'zar bring up with them of the 
captivity that were brought up from Bab'- 
y-lon unto Je-ru'sa-lem.

Ref. Ezra. Chapter L 

a. But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king 
Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God. (Ezra 5:13.) 

b. That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all 
my pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the 
temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. (Is. 44:28.) Thus saith the Lord 
to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue 
nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before 
him the two-leaved gate; and the gates shall not be shut (1). I have 
made the earth, and created man upon it; I, even my hands, have 
stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. I 
have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he 
shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor 
reward, saith the Lord of hosts. (Is. 45:1, 12, 13.) 

c. I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men 
tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living god, 
and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be de- 
stroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. (Dan. 6:26.) 

d. The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the 
tongue, is from the Lord. (Prov. 16:1.) For it is God which worketh 
in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Phil. 2:13.) Make 
ycu perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that 



■which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be 
glory for ever and evel. Amen. (Heb. 13:21.) 

e. And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, 
which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, 
and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king 
take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, 
whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor. (Ezra 
5:14.) And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, 
which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusa- 
lem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto 
the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place 
them in the house of God. (Ezra 6:5.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all 
the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the crafts- 
men and smiths; none remained save the poorest sort of the people of 
the land. And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's 
mother, and the king's wives and his officers, and the mighty of the 
land; those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. And 
all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths 
a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king 
of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. (II Ks. 24:14-16.)

58 All the Neth'i-nims, and the children of

59 And these were they which went up from 
Tel-me'lah, Tel-har'sa, Che'rub, Ad'dan, and 
Im'mer : but they could not shew their father's 
house, and their seed, whether they were of 
Is'ra-el:

of To-bi'ah, the children of Ne-ko'da, six hun-

and was called after their name: 

62 These sought their register among those 
that were reckoned by genealogy, but they 
were not found: therefore were they, as pol- 
luted, put from the priesthood. 

63 And the Tir'sha-tha said unto them, that 
they should not eat of the most holy things, 
till there stood up a priest with U'rim 3 and 
with 6 Thum'mim. 

64 r , The whole congregation together was 
forty and two thousand three hundred and 
threescore, 

65 Beside their servants and their maids, of 
whom there were seven thousand three hun- 
dred thirty and seven : and there were among 
them two hundred singing men and singing 
women. 

66 Their horses were seven hundred thirty 
and six; their mules, two hundred forty and 
five; 

67 Their camels, four hundred thirty and 
five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred 
and twenty. 

68 H And some of the chief of the fathers, 
when they came to the house of the 4 Lord 
which is at Je-ru'sa-lem, offered freely for the 
house of God to set it up in his place: 

69 They gave f after their ability unto the 
treasure of the work threescore and one thou- 
sand 5 drams of gold, and five thousand pound 
of silver, and one hundred priests' garments. 

70 So the priests, and the Le'vltes, and some

and the Neth'i-nims, dwelt in their cities, and 
all Is'ra-el in their cities. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 The altar is set up. 4 Offerings frequented. 
7 Workmen prepared. 8 The foundations 
of the temple are laid in great joy and 
mourning. 

1 And when the seventh month was come, 
and the children of Is'ra-el were in the cities, 
the people gathered themselves together as one 
man to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 Then 'stood up Jesh'u-a the son of Joz'a- 
dak, and his brethren the priests, and Ze-rub'- 
ba-bel the son of She-al'ti-el, and his brethren, 
and builded the altar of the God of is'ra-el, 
to offer "burnt offerings thereon, as it is writ- 
ten in the law of Mo'ses the man of God. 

3 And they set the altar upon his bases; for 
fear was upon them because of the people of 
those countries : and they offered burnt 'offer- 
ings thereon unto the 2 Lord, even burnt offer- 
ings morning and evening. 

4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as 
it is written, and offered the daily burnt 'offer- 
ings by number, according to the custom, as 
the duty of every day required; 

5 And afterward offered the ^continual 
burnt 'offering, both of the new moons, and of 
all the set feasts of the 2 Lord that were con-

secrated, and of every one that willingly of- 
fered a freewill "offering unto the "Lord. 

6 From the first day of the seventh month 
began they to offer burnt offerings unto the 
"Lord. But the foundation of the temple of 
the 2 Lord was not yet laid. 

7 They gave money also unto the masons, 
and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, 
and oil, unto them of Zi'don, and to them of 
Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Leb'a-non to 
the sea of Jop'pa, according to the grant that 
they had of Cy'rus king of Per'sia. 

8 U 4 Now in the second year of their coming 
unto t T ie house of God at Je-ru'sa-lem, in the 
second month, began Ze-rub'ba-bel the son of 
She-al'tl-el, and Jesh'u-a the son of Joz'a-dak, 
and the remnant of their brethren the priests 
and the Le'vites, and all they that were come 
out of the captivity unto Je-ru'sa-lem; and ap- 
pointed the Le'vites, from twenty years old 
and upward, to set forward the work of the 
house of the 2 Lord. 

9 Then stood Jesh'u-a with his sons and his 
brethren, Kad'ml-el and his sons, the sons of 
Ju'dah, together, to set forward the workmen 
in the house of God: the sons of Hen'a-dad, 
with their sons and their brethren the Le'- 
vites. 

10 And when the builders laid the founda- 
tion c of the temple of the 2 Lord, they set the 
priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the 
Le'vites the sons of A'saph with cymbals, to 
praise the 2 Lord, after the ordinance of Da'vid 
king of Is'ra-el. 

11 And they sang together by course in 
praising and giving thanks unto the 2 Lord; be- 
cause he is good, d for his mercy endureth for 
ever toward Is'ra-el. And all the people shout- 
ed with a great shout, when they praised the 
"Lord, because the foundation of the house of 
the 2 Lord was laid. 

12 But many of the priests and Le'vites and 
chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, 
that had seen the first house, when the foun- 
dation of this house was laid before their eyes, 
wept with a loud voice; and many shouted 
aloud for joy: 

13 So that the people could not discern the 
noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the 
weeping of the people: for the people shouted 
with a loud shout, and the noise was heard 
afar off.

together will build unto the 2 Lord God of Is'- 
ra-el, as king Cy'rus the king of Persia hath 
commanded us. 

4 Then the people of the land weakened the 
hands of the people of Ju'dah, and troubled 
them in building, 

5 And hired counsellors against them, to 
frustrate their purpose, all the days 3 of Cy'rus 
king of Per'sia, even until the reign of 4 Da- 
ri'us king of Per'§ia. 

6 And in the reign of A-ha§-u-e'rus, in the 
beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an 
accusation against the inhabitants of Ju'dah 
and Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7 H And in the days of 5 Ar-tax-erx'e§ wrote 
Bish'Iam, Mith're-dath, Ta'be-el, and the rest 
of their companions, unto Ar-tax-erx'es king 
of Per'sja; and the writing of the letter was 
written in the Syr'i-an tongue, and interpreted 
in the Syr'i-an tongue. 

8 Re'hum the chancellor and Shim'shai the 
scribe wrote a letter against Je-ru'sa-lem to 
Ar-tax-erx'es the king in this sort: 

9 Then wrote Re'hum the chancellor, and 
Shim'shai the scribe, and the rest of their com- 
panions; the Di'na-ites, the A-phar'sath-chites, 
the Tar'pel-Ites, the A-phar'sItes, the Ar'che- 
vltes, the Bab-y-15'nlans, the Su'san-chltes, the 
De-ha'vites, and the E'lam-Ites, 

10 And the rest of the nations whom the 
great and noble As-nap'per brought over, and 
set in the cities of Sa-ma'ri-a, and the rest that 
are on this side the river, and at such a time. 

11 II This is the copy of the letter that they 
sent unto him, even unto Ar-tax-erx'es. the 
king; Thy servants the men on this side the 
river, and at such a time. 

12 Be it known unto the king, that the 
Jew§ which came up from thee to us are come 
unto Je-ru'sa-lem, building the rebellious and 
the bad city, and have set up the walls there- 
of, and joined the foundations. 

13 Be it known now unto the king, that, if 
this city be builded, and the walls set up again, 
then will they not 6 pay toll, tribute, and cus- 
tom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue 
of the kings. 

14 Now because we have maintenance from 
the king's palace, and it was not meet for us 
to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we 
sent and certified the king; 

15 That search may be made in the book of 
the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find 
in the book of the records, and know that this 
city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings 
and provinces, and that they have moved sedi- 
tion within the same of old time : for which 
cause was this city destroyed. 

16 We certify the king that, if this city be 
builded, again, and the walls thereof set up, 
by this means thou shalt have no portion on 
this side the river. 

17 11 Then sent the king an answer unto Re'- 
hum the chancellor, and to Shim'shai the 
scribe, and to the rest of their companions 
that dwell in Sa-ma'rI-a, and unto the rest be- 
yond the river, Peace, and at such a time. 

18 The letter which ye sent unto us hath 
been plainly read before me. 

19 And I commanded, and search hath been 
made, and it is found that this city of old time 



lambs of the first year day by day continually. (Ex. 29:38.) And ye 
shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord; one 
young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blem- 
ish. (Num. 29:2.) 

c. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, The hands 
of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hand shall 
also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me 
unto you. For who hath despised the day of small things? for they 
shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with 
those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro 
through the whole earth. (Zech. 4:8-10.)

of them that shall say. Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; 
for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacri- 
fice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the 
captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord. (Jer. 33:11.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, 
he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but 
ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem. (Neh. 2:20.) 
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being 
a Jew, asketh drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the 
Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. (Jno. 4:9.) 

b. Also we certify you, that, touching any of the priests and Levites, 
singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall 
not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them. (Ezra 7:24.)

tries ^beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and 
custom, was paid unto them. 

21 Give ye now commandment to cause these 
men to cease, and that this city be not builded. 
until another commandment shall be given 
from me. 

22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this : 
why should damage grow to the hurt of the 
kings? 

23 r Xow when the copy of king Ar-tax- 
erx'es' letter was read before Relium, and 
Shim'shai the scribe, and their companions, 
they went up in haste to Je-ru'sa-lem unto the 
Jews, and made them to cease by force and 
power. 

24 Then ceased the work of the house of 
God which is at Je-ru'sa-lem. So it ceased 
unto the second year of the reign of Da-ri'us 
king of Per'sia. 

CHAPTER 5. 
.1 Zerubbabel and Jeshua, incited by Haggai 
and Zechariah, set forward the building of 
the temple. 3 Tatnai and Shetkarborznai 
could not hinder the Jews. 

1 Then the prophets, Hag'ga-i the prophet, 
and Zech-a-ri'ah the son of 1 Id'do, prophesied 
unto the Jews that were in Ju'dah and Je-ru'- 
sa-lem in the name of the God of Is'ra-el, even 
unto them. 

2 Then rose up Ze-rul/ba-bel the son of She- 
al'ti-el, and Jesh'u-a the son of Joz'a-dak, and 
began to build the house of God which is at 
Je-ru'sa-lem: and with them were the prophets 
of God helping them. 

3 r At the same time came to them Tat'na-i, 
governor on this side the river, and She'thar- 
boz'na-i, and their companions, and said thus 
unto them, Who hath commanded you to build 
this house, and to make up this wall? 

4 Then said we unto them after this man- 
ner, What are the names of the men that make 
this building? 

5 But the a eye of their God was upon the 
elders of the Jews, that they could not cause 
them to cease, till the matter came to Da-ri'us : 
and then they returned answer by letter con- 
cerning this matter. 

6 r The copy of the letter that Tat'na-i, gov- 
ernor on this side the river, and She'thar-boz- 
na-i, and his companions the A-phar'sach-ites, 
which were on this side the river, sent unto 
Da-ri'us the king: 

7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was 
written thus; Unto Da-rT'us the king, all peace. 

8 Be it known unto the king, that we went 
into the province of Ju-de'a, to the house of 
the great God, which is "builded with great 
stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this 
work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their 
hands. 

9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto 



G. As Artaxerxes was assassinated 
in less than a year from the time he 
was made king, and as the order to 
rebuild the temple was reissued dur- 
ing the second year of the reign of 
Darius, successor to Artaxerxes. the 
period during which the building was 
suspended was not longer than two 
years.

1. In his prophecy, Zechariah 
called himself "the son of Baraehias. 
the son of Iddo,"' which shows that 
Iddo was his grandfather. The word 
son here, as elsewhere in the Bible, 
is used in the sense of descendant. 



2. That is. urging and inspiring 
them by such exhortations as are 
found in the first eh. of Haggai.

2. These measurements do not 
coincide with the measures of I Ks. 
6:2. "And the house which ting 
Solomon built for the Lord, the length 
thereof was threescore cubits and 
the breadth thereof 20 cubits, and the 
height thereof 30 cubits." It is not. 
however, supposed that Cyrus here 
gave the exact measurements or at 
least the dimensions were not fol-

them thus, Who commanded you to build this 
house, and to make up these walls? 

10 We asked their names also, to certify 
thee, that we might write the names of the men 
that were the chief of them. 

11 And thus they returned us answer, say- 
ing, We are the 'servants of the God of heaven 
and earth, and build the house that was builded 
these many years ago, which a great king of 
is'ra-el builded and set up. 

12 But after c 'that our fathers had provoked 
the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them 
into the hand of Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king 
of Bab'y-lon, the Chal-de'an, who destined 
this house, and carried the people away into 
Bab'y-lon. 

13 But in the first year of Cy'rus the king 
of Bab'y-lon the same king Cy'rus made a de- 
cree to build this house of God. 

14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of 
the house of God, which Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
took out of the temple that was in Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and broughtthem into the temple of Bab'y-lon, 
those did Cy'rus the king take out of the tem- 
ple of Bab'y-lon, and they were delivered unto 
one, whose name was Shesh-baz'zar, whom he 
had made governor; 

15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, 
go, carry them into the temple that is in Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and let the house of God be builded 
in his place. 

16 Then came the same Shesh-baz'zar, and 
laid the foundation of the house of God which 
is in Je-ru'sa-lem : and since that time even un- 
til now hath it been in building, and yet it is 
not finished. 

17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the 
king, let there be search made in the king's 
treasure house, which is there at Bab'y-lon, 
whether it be so, that a decree was made of 
Cy'rus the king to build this house of God at 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and let the king send his pleasure 
to us concerning this matter. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Darius, finding the decree of Cyrus, maketh 
a new decree for the advancement of the 
building. 13 The temple is finished. 16 The 
feast of the dedication is kept, 19 and the 
passover. 

1 : Then Da-ri'us the king made a decree, 
and search was made in the house of the rolls, 
where the treasures were laid up in Bab'y-lon. 

2 And there was found at Aeh'me-tha, in the 
palace that is in the province of the Medes, a 
roll, and therein was a record thus written: 

3 In the first year of Cy'rus the king the 
same Cy'rus the king made a decree concern- 
ing the house of God at Je-ru'sa-lem, Let the 
house be builded, the place where they offered 
sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be 
strongly laid; the height thereof threescore 
: cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cu- 
bits; 

4 With "three rows of great stones, and a 
row of new timber: and let the expences be 
given out of the king's house: 



e. For he was wiser than all men: than Ethan the Ezrahite, and 
Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was 
in all nations round about. (I Ks. 4:31.j 

d. From the wilderness and this Lebanon, even unto the great 
river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the 
great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 
(Josh. 1:4.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in 
the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given: and the 
king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his 
God upon him (6). And hath extended mercy unto me before the king. 
and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes: and I 
was strengthened as the hand of the Lord my Gcd was upon me; and I 
fathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me. (Ezra 
7:6, 28.) For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole 
earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose part is per- 
form toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from 
forth thou shalt have wars. (II Chr. 16:9.) Behold the eye of the 
Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. 



Fear thou not: for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy 
God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee: yea, I will uphold 
thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Is. 41:10.) 

b. I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not 
be ashamed. (Ps. 119:46.) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before 
men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 
(Mat. 10:32.) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is 
the power of God unto' salvation to every one that believeth; to the 
Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16.) 

c. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his 
people, until there was no remedy. Therefore he brought upon them the 
king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the 
house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or 
maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age; he gave them all into 
his hand. (II Chr. 36:16, 17.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents 
unto thee. (Ps. 68:29.) And he buiit the inner court with three rows 
of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams. (I Ks. 6:36.)

5 And also let the golden and silver vessels 
of the house of God, which Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
took forth out of the temple which is at Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and brought unto Bab'y-lon, be re- 
stored, and brought again unto the temple 
which is at Je-ru'sa-lem, every one to his place, 
and place them in the house of God. 

6 Now therefore, Tat'na-i, governor beyond 
the river, She'thar-bSz'na-I, and your compan- 
ions the A-phar'sach-ites, which are beyond the 
river, be ye far from thence: 

7 Let the work of this house of God alone; 
let the governor of the Jew§ and the elders 
of the Jews build this house of God in his 
place. 

8 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall 
do to the elders of these Jew§ for the building 
of this house of God: that of the king's goods, 
even of the tribute beyond the river, forth- 
with expences be given unto these men, that 
they be not hindered. 

9 And that which they have need of, both 
young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the 
burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, 
salt, wine, and oil, according to the appoint- 
ment of the priests which are at Je-ru'sa-lem, 
let it be given them day by day without fail : 

10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet 
savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for 
the life of the king, and of his sons. 

11 Also I have made a decree, that whoso- 
ever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled 
down from his house, and being set up, let him 
be hanged thereon; 6 and let his house be made 
a dunghill for this. 

12 And the God that hath caused his c name 
to dwell there destroy all kings and people, 
that shall put to their hand to alter and to 
destroy this house of God which is at Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. I Da-ri'us have made a decree; let it 
be done with speed. 

13 If 3 Then Tat'na-i, governor on this side 
the river, She'thar-boz'na-i, and their compan- 
ions, according to that which Da-ri'us the king 
had sent, so they did speedily. 

14 And the elders of the Jew§ builded, and 
they prospered through the prophesying of 
Hag'ga-i the prophet and Zech-a-ri'ah the son 
of Id'do. And they builded, and finished it, 
according to the commandment of the God of 
Is'ra-el, and according to the commandment 
of Cy'rus, and Da-ri'us, and Ar-tax-erx'es king 
of Per'§ia. 

15 And this house was finished on the third 
day of the month A'dar, which was in the sixth 
year of the reign of Da-ri'us the king. 

16 H And the children of Is'ra-el, the priests, 
and the Le'vites, and the rest of the children 
of the captivity, kept d the dedication of this 
house of God with joy, 

17 And offered at the dedication of this 
house of God an hundred bullocks, two hun- 
dred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin 
offering for all Is'ra-el, twelve he goats, ac-

is written in the book of Mo§e§.

had separated ^themselves unto them from the

CHAPTER 7.

of Ser-a-i'ah, the son of Az-a-ri'ah, the son of

chief priest: 

6 This Ez'ra went up from Bab'y-lon: and 
he was a ready r 'scribe in the law of Mo'§e§, 
which the c Lord God of Is'ra-el had given: and 
the king granted him all his request, according 
a to the hand of the "Lord his God upon him. 

7 And there went up some of the children of 
Is'ra-el, and of the priests, and the Le'vites, 
and the singers, and the porters, and the Neth'- 
i-nims, unto Je-ru'sa-lem, in the seventh year 
of Ar-tax-erx'e§ the king. 

8 And he came to Je-ru'sa-lem in the fifth 
month, which was in the seventh year of the 
king. 

9 For upon the first day of the first month 
began he to go up from Bab'y-lon, and on 
the first day of the fifth month came he to Je- 
ru'sa-lem, According to the good hand of his 
God upon him. 

10 For Ez'ra had prepared his heart to seek 
c the law of the "Lord, and to do it, and to 
d teach in Is'ra-el statutes and judgments. 

11 If 7 Now this is the copy of the letter that 



b. The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is 
done for me; If ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the 
interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall 
be made a dunghill. (Dan. 2:5.) Therefore I make a decree, That every 
people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the 
God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and 
their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other God 
that can deliver after this sort. (Dan. 3:29.) 

c. For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habi- 
tation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired 
it. (Ps. 132:13, 14.) And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy 
prayer and thy supplication that thou hast made before me: I have 
hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for 
ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. (I Ks. 
9:3.) 

d. And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he of- 
fered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred 
and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and. all the children of Israel 
dedicated the house of the Lord. (I Ks. 8:63.) Then he said unto them, 
Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto 
them for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our 
Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength 
(Neh. 8:10.) 

e. And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same 



month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill 
it in the evening. (Ex. 12:6.) 

f. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the 
passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let 
him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the 
land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. (Ex. 12:48.) 

g. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye 
shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leav- 
ened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be 
cut off from Israel. (Ex. 12:15.) 

h. The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of 
water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. (Prov. 21:1.) 
Chapter 7. 

a. For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and 
horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had 
spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them 
for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all 
them that forsake him. (Ezra 8:22.) 

b. And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he 
may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which 
appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house 
that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good 
hand of my God upon me. (Neh. 2:8.)

the king Ar-tax-erx'es gave unto Ezra the 
priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words 
of the commandments of the 6 Lord, and of his 
statutes to Is'ra-el. 

12 Ar-tax-erx'es, king of kings, unto Ez'ra 
the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of 
heaven, perfect "peace, and at such a time. 

13 I make a decree, that all they of the peo- 
ple of Is'ra-el, and of his priests and Le'vites, 
in my realm, which are minded of their own 
freewill to go up to Je-ru'sa-lem, go with thee. 

14 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, 
and of his seven counsellors, to enquire con- 
cerning Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, according to 
the law of thy God which is in thine hand; 

15 And to carry the silver and gold, which 
the king and his counsellors have freely of- 
fered unto the God of Is'ra-el, whose habita- 
tion is in Je-ru'sa-lem, 

16 And all the silver and gold that thou 
canst find in all the province of Baby-Ion, with 
the freewill offering of the people, and of the 
priests, offering willingly for the house of their 
God which is in Je-ru'sa-lem: 

17 That thou mayest buy speedily with this 
money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their ''meat 
offerings and their drink offerings, and offer 
them upon the altar of the house of your God 
which is in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, 
and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the 
silver and the gold, that do after the will of 
your God. 

19 The vessels also that are given thee for 
the service of the house of thy God, those de- 
liver thou before the God of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20 And whatsoever more shall be needful for 
the house of thy God, which thou shalt have 
occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's 
treasure house. 

21 And I, even I Ar-tax-erx'es the king, do 
make a decree to all the treasurers which are 
beyond the river, that whatsoever Ez'ra the 
priest, the scribe of the law of the God of 
heaven, shall require of vou, it be done speed- 

22 Unto an hundred 'talents of silver, and 
to an hundred "measures of wheat, and to an 
hundred "baths of wine, and to an hundred 
baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how 
much. 

23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of 
heaven, let it be diligently done for the house 
of the God of heaven: for why should there be 
wrath against the realm of the king and his 
sons? 

24 Also we certify you, that touching any of 
the priests and Le'vites, singers, porters, Xeth- 
i-nims, or ministers of this house of God, it 
shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or 
custom, upon them. 

25 And thou, Ez'ra, after the wisdom of thy 
God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and 
judges, which may judge all the people that 
are beyond the river, all such as know the laws 
of thy God; and teach ye ''them that know 
them not.

Joshua the son of Xun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of

16 c Then I sent for E-li-e'zer, for A'ri-el, for 
Shem-a-I'ah, and for El'na-than, and for Ja'- 
rib, and for El'na-than, and for Na'than, and 
for Zech-a-ri'ah, and for Me-shul'lam, chief 
men; also for Joi'a-rib, and for El'na-than, 
men of understanding. 

17 And I sent them with commandment unto 
Id'do the chief at the place Ca-siph'i-a, and I 
told them what they should say unto Id'do, 
and to his brethren the Neth'i-nim§, at the 
place Ca-siph'i-a, that they should bring unto 
us ministers for the house of our God. 

18 And 6 by the good hand of our God upon 
us they brought us a man of understanding, 
of the sons of Mah'li, the son of Le'vi, the son 
of is'ra-el; and Sher-e-bi'ah, with his sons and 
his brethren, eighteen; 

19 And Hash-a-bi'ah, and with him Je-sha'- 
iah of the sons of Me-ra'rl, his brethren and 
their sons, twenty; 

20 Also of the Neth'i-nim§, whom Da'vid 
and the princes had appointed for the service 
of the Le'vites, two hundred and twenty Neth'- 
i-nims : all of them were expressed by name. 

21 If Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the 
river of A-ha'va, that -we might ''afflict our- 
selves before our God, to seek of him a right 
way for us, and for our little ones, and for all 
our substance. 

22 For I was ashamed to require of the king 
a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us 
against the enemy in the way: because we had 
spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our 
God is upon all them for ''good that seek him; 
but his power and his wrath is c against all 
them that forsake him. 

23 So we fasted and besought our God for 
this: and he was Untreated for us. 

24 V Then 1 separated twelve of the chief of 
the priests, Sher-e-bi'ah, Hash-a-bi'ah, and ten 
of their brethren with them, 

25 And weighed unto them the silver, and 
the gold, and the vessels, even the offering 
of the house of our God, which the king, and 
his counsellors, and his lords, and all is'ra-el 
there present, had offered: 

26 I even weighed unto their hand six hun- 
dred and fifty talents of silver, and silver ves- 
sels an hundred "talents, and of gold an "hun- 
dred talents; 

27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand 
T drams ; and two vessels of fine copper, precious 
as gold. 

28 And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto 
the s Lord; the vessels are holy also; and the 
silver and the gold are a freewill offering #unto 
the s Lord God of your fathers. 

29 Watch ''ye, and keep them, until ye weigh 
them before the chief of the priests and the

Je-ru'sa-lem, in the chambers of the house of 
the Lord. 

30 So took the priests and the Le'vites the 
weight of the silver, and the gold, and the ves- 
sels, to bring them to Je-ru'sa-lem unto the 
house of our God. 

31 1f "Then we departed from the river of 
A-ha'va on the twelfth day of the first month, 
to go unto Je-ru'sa-lem: and the hand of our 
God was upon us, and he delivered us from the 
hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait 
by the way. 

32 And we came to Je-ru'sa-lem, and abode 
there three days. 

33 11 Now on the fourth day was the silver 
and the gold and the vessels weighed in the 
house of our God by the hand of Mer'e-moth 
the son of U-ri'ah the priest; and with him was 
E-le-a'zar the son of Phin'e-has; and with them 
was Joz'a-bad the son of Jesh'u-a, and No-a- 
di'ah the son of Bin'nu-i, Le'vites; 

34 By number and by weight of every one: 
and all the weight was written at that time. 

35 Also the children of those that had been 
carried away, which were come out of the cap- 
tivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of 
Is'ra-el, twelve bullocks for all Is'ra-el, ninety 
and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve 
he goats for a sin offe'ring : all this was a burnt 
offering unto the Lord. 

36 If And they delivered the king's commis- 
sions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the 
governors on this side the river: and they 
furthered the people, and the house of God. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 Ezra moumeth for the affinity of the people 
ivith strangers. 5 He prayeth unto God with 
confession of sins. 

1 Now when these 'things were done, the 
princes came to me, saying, The people of 
Is'ra-el, and the priests, and the Le'vites, have 
not Separated themselves from the people of 
the lands, doing according to their abomina- 
tions,- even of the Ca'naan-ites, the Hit'tites, 
the Per'iz-zites, the Jeb'u-sites, the Ammon- 
ites, the Md'ab-ites, the E-gyp'tians, and the 
Am'or-ites. 

2 For they have 6 taken of their daughters 
for themselves, and for their sons : so that the 
c holy seed have mingled themselves with the 
people of those lands: yea, the hand of the 
princes and rulers hath been chief in this tres- 
pass. 

3 2 And when I heard this thing, I rent my 
garment and my mantle, and plucked off the 
hair of my head and of my beard, and sat 
down astonied. 



b. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 
(Prov. 3:6.) And we know that all things work together for good to 
them that love God, to them who are the called according to his pur- 
pose. (Rom. 8:28.) 

c. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same 
day, he shall be cut off from among his people, (Lev. 23:29.) Where- 
fore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we 
afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day 
of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labors (3). Then shalt 
thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, 
Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the 
putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity. (Is. 58:3, 9.) 

d. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon 
them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and 
to keep them alive in famine. (Ps. 33:18, 19.) But in mine adversity 
they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gath- 
ered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear 
me, and ceased not. (Ps. 35:15.) And we know that all things work 
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called 
according to his purpose. (Rom. 8:28.) 

e. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the 
remembrance of them from the earth. (Ps. 34:16.) And whatsoever 
man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn 
among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face 
against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among 
his people. (Lev. 17:10.) 

f. And prayed unto him; and he was entreated of him, and heard 
his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. 
Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God. (II Chr. 33:13.) And 
the Lord shall smite Egypt; he shall smite and heal it; and they shall 
return even to the Lord, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall 



heal them. (Is. 19:22.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye 
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And all 
things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 
(Mat. 21:22.) 

g. They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of 
their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread 
of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. They shall 
not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a 
woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. Thou 
shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he 
shall be holy unto thee: for I the Lord, which santify you, am holv. 
(Lev. 21:6-8.) 

h. Blessed are those servants _whom the Lord when he cometh shall 
find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and 
make them to set down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, 
and find them so, blessed are those servants. (Luke 12:37, 38.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, 
and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 
(Neh. 9:2.)

thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto 
thy son. (Dt. 7:3.) 

c. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the 
Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all 
the nations that are upon the earth. (Dt. 14:2.) And they buried him 
in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of 
David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and 
divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art; and they made 
a very great burning for him. (II Chr. 16:14.)

4 Then were assembled unto me every one 
that ^trembled at the words of the God of ls'- 
ra-el, because of the transgression of those that 
had been carried away; and I sat astonied un- 
til the evening sacrifice. 

5 r And at the evening sacrifice I arose up 
from my heaviness; and having rent my gar- 
ment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and 
spread out my hands unto the Lord my God, 

6 And said, 3 my God, I am ashamed and 
blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for 
our iniquities are increased over our head, and 
our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. 

7 Since the days of our fathers have we 
been in a great trespass unto this day; and 
for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our 
priests, been delivered into the hand of the 
kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, 
and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it 
is this day. 

8 And now for a little space grace hath been 
shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a 
remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in 
his holy place, that our God may lighten our 
eyes, and give us a little reviving in our 
bondage. 

9 For we r were bondmen; yet our God hath 
not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath ex- 
tended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings 
of Per'sia, to give us a reviving, to set up the 
house of our God, and to repair the desolations 
thereof, and to give us a wall in Ju'dah and in 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10 And now, our God, what shall we say 
after this? for we have forsaken thy command- 
ments, 

11 Which thou hast commanded by thy serv- 
ants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which 
ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the 
filthiness of the people of the lands, with their 
abominations, which have filled it from one end 
to another with their uncleanness. 

12 Now therefore give not your daughters 
unto their sons, neither take their ^daughters 
unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their 
wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and 
eat the good of the land, and "leave it for an in- 
heritance to your children for ever. 

13 And after all that is come -upon us for 
our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, see- 
ing that thou our God hast punished us less 
than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us 
such deliverance as this; 

14 Should we again break thy command- 
ments, and 7i join in affinity with the people of 
these abominations? wouldest not thou be 
angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so 
that there should be no remnant nor escaping? 

15 Lord God of Is'ra-el, thou art right- 
eous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this 
day: behold, we are 'before thee in our tres- 
passes: for we cannot stand before thee be- 
cause of this.

3. This prayer of Ezra's is one of 
the most perfect examples of humilia- 
tion and confession ever uttered. It 
does not contain one direct supplica- 
tion, but its every utterance is a 
confession of sin, past and present, 
and a personal humiliation before Je- 
hovah. 



Ch. 10. B. C, 457-456. 



1. Vs. 1-17. Ezra reforms their 
strange marriages and secures the 
putting away of their forbidden 
wives. This action on the part of 
Ezra must not be judged by the 
standard of our Lord (Mat. 5:32 and 
19:4-9). because Ezra was to recon- 
struct or restore the Jewish state on 
the basis of the Mosaic law. and that 
law positively forbade marriage with 
the heathens. (Dt. 7:3) — "Neither 
shalt thou make marriages with them; 
thy daughter thou shalt not give unto 
his son nor his daughter shalt thou 
take unto thy son." The violation 
of this command had been the main 
cause of Israel's many troubles; 
therefore Ezra could not re-establish 
the Jews and leave in effect among 
them the very principle which here- 
tofore had effected their ruin.

exhortation of Ezra, repent, and promise 
amendment. 15 The care to perform it. 18 
The names of them which had married 
strange wives. 

1 'Now when Ez'ra had prayed, and when 
he had confessed, weeping and casting himself 
down before the house of God, there assembled 
unto him out of Is'ra-el a very great congre- 
gation of men and- women and children: for 
the people wept very sore. 

2 And Shech-a-ni"ah the son of Je-hi'el, one 
of the sons of E'lam, answered and said unto 
Ez'ra, We have trespassed "against our God, 
and have taken strange wives of the people of 
the land: yet now there is hope in Is'ra-el 
concerning this thing. 

3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with 
our God to put away all the wives, and such 
as are born of them, according to the counsel 
of my lord, and of those that tremble at Hhe 
commandment of our God; and let it be done 
according to the law. 

4 Arise; for this matter beiongeth unto 
thee: we also will be with thee: be of good 
courage, and do it. 

5 Then arose Ez'ra, and made the chief 
priests, the Le'vites, and all Is'ra-el, to swear 
that they should do according to this word. 
And they sware. 

6 f Then Ez'ra rose up from before the 
house of God, and went into the chamber of 
Jo-ha'nan the son of E-H'a-shib: and when he 
came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink 
water: for he mourned because of the trans- 
gression of them that had been carried away. 

7 And they made proclamation throughout 
Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem unto all the children 
of the captivity, that they should gather them- 
selves together unto Je-ru'sa-lem; 

8 And that whosoever would not come within 
three days, according to the counsel of the 
princes and the elders, all his substance should 
be forfeited, and himself separated from the 
congregation of those that had been carried 
away. 

9 If Then all the men of Ju'dah and Ben'- 
ja-min gathered themselves together unto Je- 
ru'sa-lem within three days. It was the ninth 
month, on the twentieth day of the month; and 
all the people sat in the street of the house of 
God, trembling because of this matter, and for. 
the great rain. 

10 And Ez'ra the priest stood up, and said 
unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have 
taken strange wives, to increase the trespass 
of Is'ra-el. 

11 Now therefore c make confession unto the 
"Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure : 
and ^separate yourselves from the people of 
the land, and from the strange wives. 

12 Then all the congregation answered and 
said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so 
must we do. 

13 But the people are many, and it is a time 
of much rain, and we are not able to stand 
without, neither is this a work of one day or 



d. For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things 
have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him 
that is poor, asd of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. (Is. 
GC:2.) 

e. Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou 
mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, 
day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the 
sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both 
I and my father's house have sinned. (Neh. 1:6.) 

f. Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy davs 
for ever. (Dt. 23:6.) 

g. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: 
and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. (Prov. 13:22.) 

h. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what 
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what com- 
munion hath light with darkness? (II Chr. 6:14.) 

i. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to 
them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and 
all the world may become guilty before God. (Rom. 3:19.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to trans- 
gress against our God in marrying strange wives? (Neh. 13:27.) 



b. And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou 
shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no cove- 
nant with them, nor show mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make 
marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, 
nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. (Dt. 7:2, 3.) 

c. He that eovereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso con- 
fesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Prov. 28:13.) Go and 
proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou back- 
sliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall 
upon you; for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger 
for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed 
against the Lord tby God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers 
under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the 
Lord. (Jer. 3:12, 13.) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 
Jno. 1:9.) 

d. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings 
from before mine eyes; cease to do evil: Learn to do well; seek judg- 
ment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 
(Is. 1:16, 17.) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye trans- 
formed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that 
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Rom. 12:2.)

two: for we are many that have transgressed 
in this thing. 

14 Let now our rulers of all the congrega- 
tion stand, and let all them which have taken 
strange wives in our cities come at appointed 
times, and with them the elders of every city, 
and the judges thereof, until e the fierce wrath 
of our God for this matter be turned from us. 

15 V Only 3 J6n'a-than the son of A'sa-hel 
and Ja-ha-zi'ah the son of Tik'vah were em- 
ployed about this matter: and Me-shul'lam and 
Shab-beth'a-i the Le'vite helped them. 

16 And the children of the captivity did so. 
And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the 
fathers, after the house of their fathers, and 
all of them by their names, were separated, and 
sat down in the first day of the tenth month 
to examine the matter. 

17 And they made an end with all the men 
that had taken strange wives by the first day 
of the first month. 

18 ^ 4 And among the sons of the priests 
there were found that had taken strange 
wives: namely, of the sons of Jesh'u-a the son 
of Joz'a-dak, and his brethren^ Ma-a-se'iah, 
and E-li-e'zer, and Ja'rib, and Ged-a-li'ah. 

19 And they fgave their hands that they 
would put away their wives; and being ^guilty, 
they offered a ram of the flock for their tres- 
pass. 

20 And of the sons of Im'mer; Ha-na'ni, 
and Zeb-a-di'ah. 

21 And of the sons of Ha'rim; Ma-a-se'iah, 
and E-lT'jah, and Shem-a-i'ah, and Je-hi'el, 
and Uz-zi'ah. 

22 And of the sons of Pash'ur; El-i-o-e'na-i, 
Ma-a-se'iah, Ish'ma-el, Ne-than'e-el, Joz'a-bad, 
and El'a-sah. 

23 Also of the Le'vites; Joz'a-bad, and 
Shim'e-I, and Ke-la'iah, (the same is Kel'i-ta,) 
Peth-a-hi'ah, Ju'dah, and E-li-e'zer. 

24 Of the singers also; E-lI'a-shib: and of 
the porters; Shal'lum, and Te'lem, and U'rI.

Ezra's method for the disposition ot 
each case, that only the persons men- 
tioned in this verse needed to give 
it their attention.

e. Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his 
great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because 
of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal. (II 
Ks. 23:26.) Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, 
which ye hath taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of 
the Lord is upon you. (II Chr. 28:11.) Now it is in mine heart to make 
a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn 
away from us. (II Chr. 29:10.) 

f. And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons like- 
wise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king. (I 
Chr. 29:24.) Now be ye not stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield 
yourselves unto the Lord, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath 
sanctified for ever; and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of 
his wrath may turn away from you. (II Chr. 30:8.) My son, if thou 
be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thine hand with a stran- 



ger. (Prov. 6:1.)-. Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of 
them that are sureties for debts. (Prov. 22:26.) 

g. Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he 
shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which 
he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or 
the lost thing which he found. (Lev. 6:4.) 

h. But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with 
the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, 
Zidonians, and Hittites. (I Ks. 11:1.) For the lips of a strange woman 
drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil. (Prov. 5:3.) 
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a 
strange woman. (Prov. 6:24.) Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten 
in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and 
that her guests are in the depths of hell. (Prov. 9:17, 18.) Enter ye in 
at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that 
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. (Mat. 
7:13.) 



THE 



BOOK OF NEHEMIAH 



XOTE. — This book takes its name from him who is its chief character as well as its author. It is a continuation of the Book of Ezra. It was writ 
ten wholly in the Hebrew and so keenly and clearly does it remain true to the design of sacred history (i. e., presenting the faults and failures of the chosen 
people, as well as their virtues and successes with frankness and directness, showing the cause of retribution or triumph, the forsaking of Jehovah and his 
worship, or obedience to his commands, and with sincerity depicting the deplorable weakness of the Jews, recording their sins and corruptions, humiliation 
and penitence, and the absence of the miraculous presence of Jehovah ) . that it has disarmed adverse criticism until there are none to dispute the authenticity 
of the Book of Xehemiah. The only portions which are questioned as to authorship are chs. S. 9 and 10, but criticism is here very feebly maintained, as 
few can find sufficient foundation for believing that there would be an interpolation of three chs. in the middle of the book. Such would be unnatural 
and unreasonable, therefore the criticism regarding it has fallen of itself for the want of a structural principle to sustain it. 

The book gives an account of the deep affliction and humiliation of Xehemiah. cup bearer to King Artaxerxes Longimanus, in the 20th year of whose 
reign Xehemiah became so deeply distressed on account of the weakness and humiliation of his people that he obtained a commission from the king to visit 
Jerusalem and rebuild it. Then follows a history of his administration, a list of those who went up to the Holy City with Zerubbabel. and an account of 
the reorganization of the religious service. The ocok closes with an account of the abuses corrected by Xehemiah. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Xehemiah, understanding by Hanani the 
misery of Jerusalem, mourneth, fasteth, and 
prayeth. 5 His prayer. 

1 The '"words of ^Xe-he-mi ah the son of 
~Haeh-a-li'ah. And it came to pass in the 
month ''Chis'leu, in the twentieth year, as I 
was in Shu'shan ^he palace. 

2 That Ha-na'nl, one of my brethren, came, 
he and certain men of Ju'dah; and I asked 
them concerning the Jews that had escaped, 
which were left of the captivity, and concern- 
ing Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3 And they said unto me, The remnant that 
are left of the captivity there in the province 
are in great affliction and reproach: c the wall 
of Je-ru'sa-leni also is broken down, and the 
gates thereof are burned with fire. 

4 r T And it came to pass, when I heard these 
words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned 
certain days, and fasted, and prayed before 
the God of heaven, 

•5 And said, I beseech thee, l O s Lord God of 
heaven, the great J and terrible God, that keep- 
eth c covenant and mercy for them that love 
him and observe his commandments: 

6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and d thine 
eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer 
of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, 
day and night, for the children of Is'ra-el thy 
servants, and confess the sins of the children 
of Is'ra-el, which we have sinned against thee: 
both I and my father's house have sinned. 

7 We f have dealt very corruptly against 
thee, and have < f not kept the commandments, 
nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which 
thou commandedst thy servant Mo'ses. 

8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that 
thou commandedst thy servant Mo'ses, saying, 
-"If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad 
among the nations: 

9 But if ye 7 'tum unto me, and keep my 
commandments, and do them; though there 
were of you cast out unto the uttermost part 



Ch. 1. B. C. 446. 

NOTE. — Chs. 1-6 are devoted to the 
rebuilding of the walls and gates of 
Jerusalem. The incidents and diffi- 
culties attending thereto. 

1. In contrast with all the other 
historical books, but like each of the 
other 12 minor prophets. Xehemiah 
opens with the announcement of the 
author's name. 

2. The genealogy of Xehemiah is 
unknown, save that he is the son of 
Hachalia iXeh. 1:1) and brother of 
Hanani (Xeh. 7:2). He was cup 
bearer in the royal palace, and during 
the twentieth year of the reign of his 
king. Artaxerxes. in the year -1-14 B. 
C. the king noticed his sorrow of 
heart as depicted in his saddened 
countenance, inquired the cause there- 
of, and finding it to be on account of 
the mournful and desolate condition 
of his people in Judea. the king gave 
him a commission to go and rebuild 
the walls of Jerusalem and to seek 
the welfare of the children of Israel. 
Xehemiah began his difficult but joy- 
ous task in the year B. C. 444. and 
completed it in 52 days. (Xeh. 6: 
15-16 p — "So the wall was finished in 
the twenty-fifth day of the month 
Elul. in fifty and two days." al- 
though Xehemiah remained there for 
12 years, or until- B. C. 432. promot- 
ing the public good- (2veh. 5:14 1 — 
'"Moreover from the time that I was 
appointed to be their governor in 
the land of Judah. from the twentieth 
year even unto the two and thirtieth 
year of Artaxerxes the king, that is. 
12 years. I and my brethren have net 
eaten the bread of the governor. - ' 
As soon as he had completed the re- 
building of the walls. Xehemiah 
turned his attention to reforms which 
he desired to inaugurate, viz. : 1 H 
caused a more general public reading 
and exposition of the law (Xeh. S: 
1-12); (2) the mag ni ficent celebra- 
tions of the feast of tabernacles 
(Xeh. S:13-18>: (31 a national feast 
when aU the sins of the people were 
confessed (ch. 9) ; (41 a solemn cov- 
enant to God (ch. 10). History pre- 
sents but few examples of a rigid. 
positive adherence to duty, a sterner 
and more uncompromising opposition 
to wrong, private or public, a more 
unswerving faith in God. or a purer 
patriotism, than are evidenced in Xe- 
hemiah. 

3. Supposed to be a descendant of 
Judah, of the family of David. 



of the heaven, yet will I gather them from 
thence, and will bring them unto the place 
that I have chosen to set my name there. 

10 Xow these are thy servants and thy peo- 
ple, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great 
power, and by thy strong hand. 

11 6 'Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear 
be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and 
to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to 
fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy 
servant this day, and grant 'him mercy : "in 
the sight of this man. For I was the king's 
cupbearer. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Artaxerxes sendeth Xehemiah with letters 
and commission to Jerusalem. 9 Xehemiah 
cometh to Jerusalem. 12 He vieweth se- 
cretly the ruins of the walls. 17 He inciteth 
the Jews to build. 

1 : And it came to pass in the month ^Ni'san, 
in the twentieth year of Ar-tax-erx'es the 
king, that wine was before him : and I took up 
the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I 
had not been beforetime sad in his presence. 

2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is 
thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? 
this is nothing else but °sorrow of heart. Then 
I was very sore afraid, 

3 And said unto the king, Let the king live 
for ever : why should not my countenance be 
sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' 
sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof 
are consumed with fire? 

4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost 
thou make request? So I grayed to the God 
of heaven. 

5 And I said unto the king, If it please the 
king, and if thy servant have found favour 
in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto 
Ju'dah, unto the city of my fathers' sepul- 
chres, that I may build it. 

6 And the king said unto me, (the queen 
also sitting by him.) For how long shall thy 
journey te? and when wilt thou return? So

b. And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, 
and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God. keeping the covenant and 
mercy to them that love him. and to them that keep his commandments. 
(Dan. 9:4.) 

c. And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and 
keep my commandments. 'Ex. 20:6.) For I have said, Mercy shall be 
built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very 
heavens. (Ps. S9:2.) Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God. 
the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that 
love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. 
(Dt. 7 

d. Xow, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes he open, and let 
thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. (II 
Chr. 6:40.) Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul 
shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the 
sure mercies of David. 'Is. ~,r>:".) 

e. We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done 
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and 
from thy judgments. (Dan. 9:5.) 

f. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the 



voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and 
his statutes, which I command thee this day, that all these curses 
shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) 

g. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a 
sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste 
(33). And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity 
in vour enemies' land; and also in the inquities of their fathers shall 
they pine away with them. (Lev. 26:33, 39.) 

h. But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of

it pleased the king to send me; and I set 3 him 
a time. . 

7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please 
the king, let letters be given me to the gov- 
ernors beyond the river, that they may convey 
me over till I come into Ju'dah; 

8 And a letter unto A'saph the keeper of 
the king's forest, that he may give me timber 
to make beams for the gates of the palace 
which appertained to the house, and for the 
wall of the city, and for the house that I shall 
enter into. And the king granted me, accord- 
ing to the good hand of my God upon me. 

9 4 1f Then I came to the governors beyond 
the river, and gave them the king's letters. 
Now the king had sent captains of the army 
and horsemen with me. 

10 When r 'San-bal'lat_the Hor'o-nlte, and To- 
bi'ah "the servant, the Am'mon-Ite, heard of it, 
it grieved them exceedingly that there was 
come a man to seek the welfare of the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el. 

11 So I came to Je-ru'sa-lem, and was there 
three days. 

12 If And I arose in the night, I and some 
few men with me; neither told- I any man 
what my God had put in my heart to do at 
Je-ru'sa-lem: neither was there any beast with 
me, save the beast that I rode upon. 

13 And I went out by night by the gate of 
the valley, even before the dragon well, and 
to the dung 7 port, and viewed the walls of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, which were broken down, and the 
gates thereof were consumed with fire. 

14 Then I went on to the gate of the foun- 
tain, and to the king's pool : but there was no 
place for the beast that was under me to pass. 

15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, 
and viewed the wall, and turned back, and 
entered by the gate of the valley, and so re- 
turned. 

16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, 
or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to 
the Jews, nor to th§ priests, nor to the nobles, 
nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the 
work. 

17 II Then said I unto them, Ye see the dis- 
tress that we are in, how Je-ru'sa-lem lieth 
waste, and the gates thereof are burned with 
fire: come, and let us build up the wall of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, that we be no more a reproach. 

18 Then I told them of the hand of my God 
which was good upon me; as also the king's 
words that he had spoken unto me. And they 
said, Let us rise up and build. So they 
strengthened their hands for this good work. 

19 But when San-bal'lat the Hor'o-nlte, and 
To-bl'ah the servant, the Am'mSnite, and Ge'- 
shem the A-ra'bi-an, heard it, they laughed us 
to' scorn, and despised us, and said, What is 
this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the 
king? 

20 Then answered I them, and said unto 
them, The God of heaven, °he will prosper us; 
therefore we his servants will arise and build: 
but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memo- 
rial, in Je-ru'sa-lem.'

at the turning of the wall. 

20 After him Ba'ruch the son of Zab bai 
earnestly repaired c the other piece, from the 
turning of the wall unto the door of the house 
of E-li'a-shib the high priest. 

21 After him repaired Mer'e-moth the son 
of U-ri'jah the son of Koz another piece, from 
the door of the house of E-li'a-shib even to the 
end of the house of E-li'a-shib. 

22 And after him repaired the priests, the 
men of the plain. 

23 After him repaired Ben'ja-min and Ha'- 
shub over against their house. After him re- 
paired Az-a-ri'ah the son of JIa-a-se'iah the 
son of An-a-ni'ah by his house. 

24 After him repaired Bin'nu-i the son of 
Hen'a-dad another piece, from the house of 
Az-a-ri'ah unto the turning of the wall, even 
unto the corner. 

25 Pa'lal the son of U'za-i, over against the 
turning of the wall, and the tower which lieth 
out from the king's high house, that was by 
the court of the prison. After him Pe-da'ialr 
the son of Pa'rosh. 

26 Moreover the Xeth'i-nims dwelt in O'phel, 
unto the place over against the water gate to- 
ward the east, and the tower that lieth out. 

27 After them the Te-ko'ites repaired an- 
other piece, over against the great tower that 
lieth out, even unto the wall of O'phel. 

28 From above the ^horse gate repaired the 
priests, every one over against his house. 

29 After them repaired Za'dok the son of 
Im'mer over against his house. After him re- 
paired also Shem-a-i'ah the son of Shech-a- 
ni'ah, the keeper of the east gate. 

30 After him repaired Han-a-ni'ah the son 
of Shel-e-mi'ah, and Ha'nun the sixth son of 
Za'laph, another piece. After him repaired 
Me-shul'lam the son of Ber-e-ehi'ah over 
against his chamber. 

31 After him repaired Mal-chi'ah the gold- 
smith's son unto the place of the Xeth'i-nims. 
and of the merchants, over against the gate 
Miph'kad, and to the going up of the comer. 

32 And between the going up of the corner 
unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths 
and the merchants. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 While the enemies scoff, Xehemiah prayeth 
and continueth the work. 7 He settetfi a 
watch. 13 He armeth the labourers, 19 
and giveth military precepts. 

1 : But it came to pass, that when San-bal- 
lat heard that we builded the wall, he was 
"wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked 
the Jews.

army of Sa-ma'ri-a, and said, What do these 
feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will

1. This ch. is devoted to an ac- 
count of the troubles from the Sa- 
maritans. In vs. 1-6 the enemies 
scoff. Xehemiah prays, and the work- 
men work. A strange combination of 
forces, but one which shows the 
sublime faith of Xehemiah. 



2. Ridiculing the idea that a fee- 
ble band of returned exiles could re- 
store the great stones of Jerusalem 
which had been broken and destroyed 
by fire. 



3. In his faith. Xehemiah carries 
the bitter derision of his enemies to 
Jehovah. 



4. That is. caused them to suffer 
violence and capture. 



5. That is. pardoned not. forgave 
not their sins. Like David. Xehemiah 
voices the injured cry of downtrodden 
humanity and utters with divine in- 
spiration the judgments of righteous- 
ness upon a wicked oppressor. Ps. 
123 and 124 were probably written 
on this occasion. 



6. That is. half completed. 



7. Their purpose was never exe- 
cuted, which was an answer to the 
prayer of Xehemiah. 



S. While Xehemiah had perfect 
confidence in Jehovah and recognized 
the fact that "man's extremity is 
God's opportunity." he believed that 
they must exercise their own discre- 
tion and vigilance . and that Jehovah 
would crown said efforts with suc- 
cess, which he did.

must return unto us. (E. V.) "They 
will be upon yon" has been supplied 
by the translators.

they are attributed to God.

they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? 
will they revive ^the stones *ut of the heaps 
of the rubbish which are burned? 

3 Now To-bi'ah the Am'mon-ite was by him, 
and he said, Even that which they build, if a 
fox go up, he shall even break down their stone 
wall. 

4 Hear, 6 our "God; for we are despised: 
and turn their reproach upon their own head, 
and give them for a 4 prey in the land of cap- 
tivity: 

5 And -cover not 5 their iniquity, and let not 
their sin be blotted out from before thee: for 
they have provoked thee to anger before the 
builders, 

6 So built we the wall ; and all the wall was 
joined together unto the half '^thereof : for the 
people had a mind to work. 

7 r But it came to pass, that when San-bal'- 
lat, and To-bi'ah, and the A-ra'bi-ans, and the 
Am'mon-ites, and the Ash'dod-ites, heard that 
the walls of Je-ru'sa-lem were made up, and 
that the breaches began to be stopped, then 
they were very wroth, 

8 And conspired d all of them together to 
come and to fight 7 against Je-ru'sa-lem, and to 
hinder it. 

9 Nevertheless f we made our Sprayer unto 
our God, and set a watch s against them day 
and night, because of them. 

10 And Ju'dah said, The strength of the 
bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is 
much rubbish; so that we are not able to build 
the wall. 

11 And our adversaries said, They shall not 
know, neither see, till we come in the midst 
among them, and slay them, and cause the 
work to cease. 

12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews 
which dwelt by them came, they said unto us 
ten times, From all places whence ye shall re- 
turn unto us "they will be upon you. 

13 f Therefore set I in the lower places be- 
hind the wall, and on the higher places, I even 
set the people after their families with their 
swords, their spears, and their bows. 

14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto 
the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest 
of the people. ^Be not ye afraid of them: re- 

1 member the i: Lord, which is great and ^terrible, 
and fight for your brethren, your sons, and 
1 your daughters, your wives, and your houses. 

15 And it came to pass, when our enemies 
heard that it was known unto us, ''and God had 
brought their counsel "to nought, that we re- 
turned all of us to the wall, every one unto 
his work. 

16 And it came to pass from that time forth, 
that the i:: half of my servants wrought in the 
work, and the other half of them held both the 
spears, the shields, and the bows, and the 



c. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: for 
there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, 
whither thou goest. (Ecc. 9:10.) Let love be without dissimulation. 
Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (Rom. 12:9.) 

d. And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the 
which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain. 
(II Ks. 11:16.) And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the 
ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of 
the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord; it shall not 
be plucked up, nor thrown down, any more for ever. (Jer. 31:40.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Am- 
monite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a 
man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel. (Xeh. 2:10.) Why 
do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? (1). He 
that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in de- 
rision. (Ps. 2:1, 4.) Then the high priest rose up, and all they that 
were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees) and were filled with 
indignation. (Acts 5:17.) 

b. Have mercy upon us. O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are 
exceedingly filled with contempt (3). Our soul is exceedingly filled with 
the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the 
proud. (Ps. 123:3, 4.) 

c. Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into thy 
righteousness. (Ps. 09:27.) Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their counsel 
against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their 



sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus 
with them in the time of thine anger. (Jer. 18:23.) 

d. Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest 
for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord 
of hosts, my King and my' God. (Ps. 84:3.) 

e. Thou shalt make thv prayer unto him. and he shall hear thee, 
and thou shalt pay thy vows. (Job 22:27.) And call upon me in the day 
of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 50:lo.) 
Watch and prav, that ve enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is 
willing, but the flesh is weak. (Mat. 26:41.) Praying always with all 
prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with 
all perseverance and supplication for all saints. (Eph. 6:18.) 

f. Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people 
of the land; for they" are bread for us: their defence is departed from 
them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not. (Xum. 14:9.) Then 1 
said unto you. Dread not, neither be afraid of them. (Dt. 1:29.) 

g. For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great 
God, a mightv. and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh 
reward. (Dt. 10:17.) O give thanks unto the God of gods; for his mercy 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:2.) The king answered unto Daniel, and 
said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of 
kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. 
(Dan. 2:47.) 

h. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands 
cannot perform their enterprise. (Job 5:12.) The Lord bringeth the 
counsel of the heathen to nought; he maketh the devices of the people 
of none effect. (Ps. 33:10.)

"habergeons; and the rulers were behind all 
the house of Ju'dah. 

17 They which builded on the wall, and they 
that bare burdens, with those that laded, every 
one with 'one of his hands wrought in the 
work, and with the other hand held a weapon. 

18 For the builders, every one had his sword 
girded by his side, and so builded. And he that 
sounded the trumpet was by me. 

19 % And I said unto the nobles, and to the 
rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work 
is great and large, and we are separated upon 
the wall, one far from another. 

' 20 In what place therefore ye hear the sound 
of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: ->our 
God shall fight for us. 

21 So we laboured in the work: and half of 
them held the spears from the rising of the 
morning till the stars appeared. 

22 Likewise at the same time said I unto 
the people, Let every one with his servant lodge 
within Je-ru'sa-lem, that in the night they may 
be a guard to us, and labour on the day. 

23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my 
servants, nor the men of the guard which fol- 
lowed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving 
that every one put them off for washing. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 The Jews complain of their debt, mortgage, 
and bondage. 6 Nehemiah rebuketh the 
ustirers. 14 He forbeareth his own allow- 
ance, and keepeth hospitality. 

1 'And there was a great 2 cry a of the people 
and of their wives against their 6 brethren the 
Jews. 

2 For there were that said, We, our sons, 
and our daughters, are many: therefore we 
take up corn for them, that we may eat, and 
live. 

3 Some also there were that said, We have 
mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, 
that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 

4 There were also that said, We have bor- 
rowed money for the king's tribute, and that 
upon our lands and vineyards. 

5 Yet now our flesh c is as the flesh of our 
brethren, our children as their children: and, 
lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our 
daughters to be servants, and some of our 
daughters are brought unto bondage already: 
neither is it in our power to redeem them; for 
other men have our lands and vineyards. 

6 1 And I was very 3 angry when I heard 
their cry and these words. 

7 Then I consulted with myself, and d l re- 
buked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto 
them, 4 Ye P exact usury, every one of his broth- 
er. And I fset a great assembly against them. 

8 And I said unto them, We after our ability 
have ^redeemed our brethren the Jews, which 
were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even

sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto 
us? Then held they their peace, and found 
nothing to answer. 

9 Also I said, It is not good that ye do: 
ought ye not to walk ''in the fear of our God 
'because of the reproach of the heathen our 
enemies? 

10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my serv- 
ants, might exact of them money and corn: I 
pray you, let us leave off this usury. 

11 Restore, r, I pray you, to them, even this 
day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive- 
yards, and their houses, also the "hundredth 
part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, 
and the oil, that ye exact of them. 

12 Then said they, We will restore them, and 
will require 7 nothing of them; so will we do as 
thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and 
took an oath of them, that they should do ac- 
cording to this promise. 

13 Also >\ shook s my lap, and said, So God 
shake out every man from his house, and from 
his labour, that performeth not this promise, 
even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And 
all the congregation said, Amen, and praised 
the 9 Lord. And the people did according to 
this promise. 

14 If '"Moreover from the time "that I was ap- 
pointed to be their governor in the land of 
Ju'dah, from the twentieth year even unto the 
two and thirtieth year of Ar-tax-erx'es the 
king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren 
have not 12 eaten the bread of the governor. 

15 But the former governors that had been 
before me were chargeable unto the people, and 
had taken of them bread and wine, beside 
i; 'forty shekels of silver; yea, even their serv- 
ants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, 
because of the fear of God. 

16 Yea, also I continued in the work of this 
wall, neither bought we any land: and all my 
servants were gathered thither unto the work. 

17 Moreover there were at my table an hun- 
dred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside 
those that came unto us from among the 
heathen that are about us. 

18 Now that which was "prepared for- me 
daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also 
fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten 
days store of all sorts of wine : yet for all this 
required not I the bread of the governor, be- 
cause the bondage was heavy upon this people. 

19 Think upon me, my God, for good, ac- 
cording to all that I have done for this people.

hired prophecies, to terrify Nehemiah. 15

i. ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen 
ones. (I Chr. 16:13.) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and 
in the power of his might. (Eph. 6:10.) 

j. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Ex. 
14:14.) One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, 
he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. (Josh. 23:10.) 
There shall not any man be a"}le to stand before thee all the days of 
thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and 
the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but 
behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. (Is. 5:7.) Be- 
hold, the hire of the laborers which have reaped down your fields, which 
is of you kept back by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them which have 
reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. (Ja. 5:4.) 

b. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within 
any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou 
shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor 
brother. (Dt. 15:7.) And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in 
decay with thee, then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a 
stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. (Lev. 25:35.) 

c. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring 
the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, 
that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own 
flesh? (Is. 58:7.) And hath made of one blood all nations of men for 
to dwell on all the face of the earth, and bath determined the times 
before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation. (Acts 17:26.) 



d. And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it 
shall not be accepted. (Lev. 19:7.) Then that sin rebuke before all. 
that others also may fear. (I Tim. 5:20.) If thou lend money to any 
of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an 
usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. (Ex. 22:25.) In thee 
have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and in- 
crease, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by extortion, and 
hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God. (Ezek. 22:12.) 

f. Open rebuke is better than secret love. (Prov. 27:5.) And if he 
shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect 
to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a 
publican. (Mat. 18:17.) 

g. After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his 
brethren may redeem him. (Lev. 25:48.) 

h. Take thou no usury of him, or increase; but fear thy God; that 
thy brother may live with thee. (Lev. 25:36.) 

i. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion 
to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born 
unto thee shall surely die. (II Sam. 12:14.) For the name of God is 
blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. (Rom. 
2:24.) 

j. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, 
when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 
(Mat. 10:14.) And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he 
shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own 
heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. (Acts 
18:6.)

and To-bi'ah, and Ge'shem the A-raTji-an, and 
the rest of our enemies, heard that I had 
builded the wall, and that there was no breach 
left therein; (though at that time I had not set 
up the doors upon the gates;) 

2 That San-bal'lat and Ge'shem sent unto 
me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some 
one of the villages in the plain of O'no. But 
they thought 5 to do me mischief. 

3 And I s sent messengers unto them, saying, 
I am doing a great work, so that I cannot 
come down : ^hy should the work cease, whilst 
I leave it, and come down to you? 

4 Yet they sent unto me c four times after 
this sort; and I answered them after the 
same manner. 

5 Then sent San-bal'lat his servant unto me 
in like manner the fifth time with an open 
better in his hand; 

6 Wherein was written, It is reported among 
the heathen, and Gash'mu saith it, that ^thou 
and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause 
thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be 
their king, according to these words. 

7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to 
preach of thee at Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, There 
is a king in Ju'dah : and now shall it be report- 
ed to the king according to these words. Come 
now therefore, and let us take counsel together.' 

8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are 
no such things done as thou sayest, but thou 
4 feignest e them out of thine own heart. 

9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their 
hands shall be weakened from the work, that 
it be not done. Now therefore, "0 God, 
strengthen my hands. 

10 Afterward I came unto the house of 
Shem-a-I'ah the son of Del-a-i'ah the son of 
Me-het'a-beel, who was shut up; and he said, 
Let us meet together in the house of God, with- 
in the temple, and let us shut the doors of the 
temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, 
in the night will they come to slay thee. 

11 And I said, Should #such a man as I flee? 
and who is there, that, being as I am, would 
go into the temple to save his life? I will not 
go in. 

12 And, lo, I perceived that God had not 
sent him; but that ? 'he pronounced this prophe- 
cy against me: for To-bi'ah and San-bal'lat 
had hired him. 

13 Therefore was he hired, that I should be 
afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might 
have matter for an evil report, that they might 
reproach me. 

14 My God, think thou upon To-bi'ah and 
San-bal'lat according to these their works, and 
on the 5 prophetess Xo-a-di'ah, and the rest of 
the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

were about us saw these things, they were 
much- cast down in their own eyes: for they 
perceived that this work was wrought of our 
God.

letters of To-bi'ah came unto them. 

18 For there were many in Ju'dah sworn 
unto him, because he wasthe son in law of 
Shech-a-ni'ah the son of A'rah; and his son 
Jo-ha'nan had taken the daughter of Me-shul'- 
lam the son of Ber-e-chi'ah. 

19 Also they reported his good deeds before 
me, and uttered my words to him. And To- 
bi'ah sent letters to put me in fear.

1 Xehemiah cornmitteth the charge of Jerusa- 
lem to Hanani and Hananiah. 5 A register 
of the genealogy of them which came out of 
Babylon, 9 of the people, 39 of the priests, 
43 of the Levites, 46 of the Nethinims, 
57 of Solomon's servants, 63 and of the 
priests which could not find their pedigree. 

1 a Now it came to pass, when the wall was 
built, and I had set up the doors, and the por- 
ters and the singers and the Le'vites were 
appointed, 

2 That I gave my brother Ha-na'ni. and 
Han-a-ni'ah the ruler of the palace, charge 
over Je-ru'sa-lem: for he "was a faithful man, 
and ^feared God above many. 

3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of 
Je-ru'sa-lem be opened until the sun be hot; 
and while they stand by, let them shut the 
doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of 
the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, every one in 
his watch, and every one to be over against 
his house. 

4 : Now the city was large and great: but 
the people were few therein, and the houses 
were not builded. 

5 r And my God put c into mine heart to 
gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and 
the people, that they might be reckoned by 
genealogy. And I found a register of the 
genealogy of them which came up at the first, 
and found written therein, 

6 These are the children of the province, 
that went up out of the captivity, of those that 
had been carried away, whom Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar the king of Bab'y-lon had carried away, 
and came again to Je-ru'sa-lem and to Ju'dah, 
every one unto his city; 

7 Who came with Ze-rub'ba-bel, Jesh'u-a, 
Ne-he-mi'ah, Az-a-ri'ah, Ra-a-mi'ah, Na-ham- 



Chapter 6. 

a. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him 
with his teeth. IPs. 37:12.) They speak vanity every one with his 
neighbor: with flattering lips, and with a double heart, do they speak. 
(Ps. 12:2.) Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that 
for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexa- 
tion of spirit. (Ecc. 4:4.) 

b. The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh 
well to his going. (Prov. 14:15.) 

c. My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. (Prov. 1:10.) 
For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is 
taken away, unless they cause some to fall. (Prov. 4:16.) Their feet 
are swift to shed blood. (Rom. 3:15.) And he gave some, apostles: and 
some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. 
(Eph. 4:11.) 

d. Be it known now unto the king, that if this city be builded, and 
the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute and custom, 

so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings. (Ezra 4:13.) 
And they began to accuse him, saying. We found this fellow perverting 
the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he 
himself is Christ a King. (Luke 23:2.) But when Sanballat the Horonite, 
and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard 
it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said. What is this 
thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king? rXeb. 2:19.) 

e. But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. 
(Job 13:4.) Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs: like a sharp razor, working 
deceitfully. (Ps. 

f. Thy shoes shall be iron and brass: and as thy days, so shall thy 
strength be. (Dt. 33:25.) In the day when I cr : ed thou answeredst me. 
and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. (Ps. 138:3.) 



g. The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are 
bold as a lion. (Prov. 28:1.) 

h. Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, 
whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, 
that he should not return from his wicked wav, by promising him lite. 
(Ezek. 13:22.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And T made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, 
and Zadok the scribe; and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them 
was Hanan the son of Zaceur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were 
counted faithful; and their office was to distribute unto their brethren. 
(Xeh. 13:13.) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be 
found faithful. (I Cor. 4:2.) 

b. And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for 
I fear God. (Gen. 42:1S.) Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the 
people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; 
and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hun- 
dreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (Ex. 18:21. 1 By mercy and 
truth iniquity is purged; ar.d by the fear of the Lord men depart from 
evil. (Prov. 16:6.) Let not thine heart envy sinners; but be thou in 
the fear of the Lord all the day long. (Prov. 23:17.) 

c. For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth eometh knowledge 
and understanding. (Prov. 2:6.) In all thy ways acknowledge him. and 
he shall direct thy paths. (Prov. 3:6.) For of him, and through him. 
and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (Rom. 
11:36.) And the sons of Helah were Zereth, and Jezoar and Ethnan. (I 
Chr. 4:7.) Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren 
an hundred and twelve. (I Chr. 15:10.) Every good gift and every 
perfect gift is from above, and eometh down from the Father of lights, 
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js. 1:17.)

d. And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went 
over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan (31). Now 
Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had 
provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was 
a very great man (32). And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou 
over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem (33). And 
Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go 
up with the king unto Jerusalem? (34). I am this day fourscore years 
old; and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste 
what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing 
men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a 
burden unto my lord the king? (35). Thy servant will go a little way 
over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me 



with such a reward? (36). Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, 
that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my 
father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go 
over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto 
thee (37). And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, 
and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and what- 
. soever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee (38). And all 
the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the 
king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own 
place (39). Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on 
with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also 
half the people of Israel. (II Sam. 19:31-40.)

six: their mules, two hundred forty and five: 

69 Their camels, four hundred thirty and 
five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty

gave unto the work. The Tir'sha-tha gave to 
the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty 
basons, five hundred and thirty priests' gar-

71 And some of the chief of the fathers gave 
to the treasure of the work twenty thousand 
drams of gold, and two thousand and two hun- 
dren pound of silver. 

72 And that which the rest of the people 
gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and 
two thousand pound of silver, and threescore 
and seven priests' garments. 

73 So the priests, and the Le'vites, and the 
porters, and the singers, and some of the peo-

in their cities; and when the seventh month 
came, the children of Is'ra-el were in their 
cities.

1 a And all the people gathered themselves 
together as one man into the street that was 
before the water gate; and they spake unto 
2 Ez'ra the scribe to bring the book of the law 
of Mo'ses, which the 3 Lord had commanded to 
Is'ra-el. 

2 And Ez'ra *the' priest brought c the law 
before the congregation both of men and 
women, and all that could hear with under- 
standing, 6 upon the first day of the seventh 
month. 

3 And he read therein before the street that 
was before the water gate from the morning 
until midday, before the men and the women, 
and those that could understand; and the ears 
of all the people were attentive unto the book 
of the law. 

4 And Ez'ra the scribe stood upon a pulpit 
of wood, which they had made for the purpose; 
and beside him stood Mat-ti-thi'ah, and She'- 
ma, and An-a-i'ah, and U-ri'jah, and Hil-ki'ah, 
and Ma-a-se'iah, on his right hand; and on his 
left hand, Pe-da'iah, and Mish'a-el, and Mal- 
chi'ah, and Ha'shum, and Hash-bad'a-na, Zech- 
a-ri'ah, and Me-shul'lam. 

5 And Ez'ra opened the book in the sight of 
all the people; (for he was above all the peo- 
ple;) and when he opened it, all the people 
stood up: 

6 And Ez'ra blessed the Lord, the great God. 
And all the people answered, Amen, Amen,

Pel-a-i'ah, and the Le'vites, d caused the peopis 
to understand the law : and the people stood in 
their place. 

8 So they read in the book in the law of 
God ^distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused 
them to understand the reading. 

9 r B And Ne-he-mi'ah, which is the Tir'sha- 
tha, and Ez'ra the priest the scribe, and the 
Le'vites that taught the people, said unto all 
the people, This day is holy unto the Lord 
your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the 
people wept, when they heard the words of the 
law. 

10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, 
eat the fat, and drink the sweet, ''and send 
portions unto them for whom nothing is pre- 
pared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: 
neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is 
your strength. 

11 So the Le'vites stilled all the people, 
saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; 
neither be ye grieved. 

12 And all the people went their way to eat, 
and to drink, and to send portions, and to make 
great mirth, because they had understood the 
words that were declared unto them. 

13 *~ 6 And on the second day were gathered 
together the chief of the fathers of all the 
people, the priests, and the Le'vites, unto Ez'ra 
the scribe, even to understand the words of the 
law. 

14 And they found written in the law which 
the 3 Lord had commanded by Closes, that the 
children of Is'ra-el should dwell in booths in 
the feast of the seventh month : 

15 And that they should publish and pro- 
claim in all their cities, and in Je-ru'sa-lem. 
saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch 
olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle 
branches, and palm branches, and branches of 
thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 

16 r So the people went forth, ana brought 
them, and made themselves booths, every one 
upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, 
and in the courts of the house of God, and in 
the street of the water gate, and in the street 
of the gate of E'phra-im. 

17 And all the congregation of them that 
were come again out of the captivity made 
booths, and sat under the booths: for since 
the days of Jesh'u-a the son of Nun unto that 
day had not the children of Is'ra-el done so. 
And there was very great gladness. 

18 Also day by day, from the first day unto 
the last day, he read in the book of the law of 
God. And they kept the feast seven days; and 
on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, ac- 
cording unto the manner.

in before the Lord: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children 
of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually. (Ex. 28:30.) And 
he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the 
Urim and the Thummim. (Lev. 8:8.) And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Take thee Joshua the son of Xun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay 
thine hand upon him (18). And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, 
who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the 
Lord; at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, 
both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congre- 
gation. (Num. 27:18, 21.) And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and 
thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and 
with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah. (Dt. 33:8.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in 
the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all 
Israel in their hearing (11). Gather the people together, men, and 
women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that 
they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, 
and observe to do all the words of this law. (Dt. 31:11, 12.) 



b. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh montK 
in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of 
blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. (Lev. 23:24.) 

c. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heav- 
ens. (Lam. 3:41.) I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting 
up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. (I Tim. 2:8.) 

d. And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes 
which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. (Lev. 
10:11.) They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they 
shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine 
altar. (Dt. 33:10.) 

e. And the Lord answered me and said. Write the vision, and make 
it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. (Hab. 2:2.) 

f. Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled 
towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness 
and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another. 
(Esth. 9:19.) And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, 
and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another: because these 
two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. (Rev. 11:10.)

1 'Now in the twenty "'and fourth day of this 
month the children of Is'ra-el were assembled 
with fasting, and with 3 sackclothes, and earth 
upon them. 

2 And the seed of Is'ra-el separated them- 
selves from all strangers, and stood and "con- 
fessed their sins, and the iniquities of their 
fathers. 

3 And they stood up in their place, and read 
in the book of the law of the 4 Lord their God

part they confessed, and worshipped the 4 Lord 
their God.

hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with 
all their host, the earth, and all things that 
are therein, the seas, and all that is therein,

choose A'bram, and broughtest him forth out

name of A'bra-ham; 

8 And foundest his heart faithful before 
thee, and madest a covenant with him to give 
the land of the Ca'naan-ites, the Hit'tltes, the 
Am'or-Ites, and the Per'iz-zltes, and the Jeb'u-

in E'gypt, and hear/iest their cry by the Red 
sea; 

10 And shewedst signs and wonders upon 
Pha'raoh, and on all his servants, and on all 
the people of his land: for thou knewest that 
they dealt proudly against them. So didst 
thou get thee a name, as it is this day. 

11 And thou didst divide the sea before 
them, so that they went through the midst of 
the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors 
thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into 
the mighty waters. 

12 Moreover thou c leddest them in the day 
by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar 
of fire, to give them light in the way wherein 
they should go. 

13 Thou earnest down also upon mount Sl'- 
nai, and spakest with them from heaven, and

6. Beginning with v. 6 is one of 
the most solemn and impressive 
prayers of the Bible, in which they 
make public confession of all their 
sins, both public and private. They 
begin with the profound adoration 
of God. whose supreme majesty is 
acknowledged in creation, preserva- 
tion and government of all: then they 
enumerate his mercies and favors to 
them as a nation, beginning with the 
call of Abraham, tracing in full the 
signal instances of their many de- 
liverances and the promulgation oj 
the divine law; especially they mag- 
nify God's forbearance and long-suf- 
fering shown them in their frequent 
rebellions, their signal triumph over 
enemies, and happy settlement in the 
Promised Land. They confess their 
many acts of disobedience and ac- 
knowledge in their captivity a severe 
though just punishment of their sins, 
and throw themselves upon the mercy 
of Jehovah and express the purpose 
of making a national covenant, plead- 
ing obedience in the future. This 
prayer should be studied in connection 
with Dan. 9 and Ps. 196. 



gavest them ^right judgments, and true laws, 
good statutes and -commandments : 

14 And madest known unto them thy c holy 
sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, 
statutes, and laws, by the hand of Mo'§e§ thy 
servant : 

15 And ^gavest them bread from heaven for 
their hunger, and broughtest forth water for 
them out of the rock for their thirst, and 
promisedst them that they should go in to 
possess the land which thou hadst sworn to 
give them. 

16 But they and our fathers "dealt proudly, 
and hardened their necks, and hearkened not 
to thy commandments, 

17 And refused to obey, neither were mind- 
ful of thy wonders that thou didst among 
them; but hardened their necks, and in their 
rebellion appointed ll a captain to return to 
their bondage: but thou art a God ready to 
pardon, 'gracious and merciful, slow to anger, 
and of great kindness, and forsookest them 
not. 

18 Yea, when they had made them a molten 
calf, and said, This is thy God that brought 
thee up put of E'gypt, and had wrought great 
provocations ; 

19 Yet thou in thy manifold ^'mercies for- 
sookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar 
of the cloud departed not from them by day, 
to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of 
fire by night, to shew them light, and the way 
wherein they should go. 

20 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to in- 
struct them, and withheldest not thy manna 
from their mouth, and gavest them water for 
their thirst. 

21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them 
in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; 
their clothes waxed not old, and their *-'feet 
swelled not. 

22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms 
and nations, and didst divide them into cor- 
ners : so they possessed the land of Sl'hon, and 
the jand of the king of Hesh'bon, and the land 
of Og king of Ba'shan. 

23 Their children also 'multipliedst thou as 
the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into 
the land, concerning which thou hadst prom- 
ised to their fathers, that they should go in to 
possess it. 

24 So the children went in and possessed 
the land, and thou subduedst before them the 
inhabitants of the land, the Ca'naan-ites, and 
gavest them into their hands, with their kings, 
and the people of the land, that they might 
do with them as they would. 

25 And they took strong cities, and a fat 
land, and possessed houses full of all goods, 
wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and 



Chapter 9. 

a. He that eovereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso con- 
fesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Prov. 28:13.) Only 
acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord 
thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every 
green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. (Jer. 
3:13.) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our 
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I Jno. 1:9.) 

b. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for 
the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, 
and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water. (Rev. 14:7.) Be- 
hold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, is the Lord's thy God, 
the earth also, with all that therein is. (Dt. 10:14.) 

c. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to 
lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them 
light; to go by day and night. (Ex. 13:21.) 

d. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the com- 
mandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes (8) : The fear of 
the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are 
true and righteous altogether. (Ps. 19:8, 9.) Wherefore the law is 
holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. (Rom. 7:12.) 
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully. (I Tim. 1:8.) 

e. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that 
in it he had rested from all his work, which God created and made. 
(Gen. 2:3.) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 20:8.) 
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth 
hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his 
hand from doing any evil. (Is. 56:2.) And he said unto them, The 
sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. (Mk. 2:27.) 



f. Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He 
gave them bread from heaven to eat. (Jno. 6:31.) 

g. We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, 
we have done wickedly. (Ps. 106:6.) See v. 10. 

h. And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let 
us return into Egypt. (Num. 14:4.) 

i. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed. The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) And rend your heart, and not your 
garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and 
merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of 
the evil. (Joel 2:13.) With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merci- 
ful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. (Ps. 18:25.) 
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou 
backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger 
to fall upon you; for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep 
anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father 
also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) And the publican, standing afar off, 
would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon 
his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) 

j. And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented ac- 
cording to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) 

k. And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes 
are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy 
foot. (Dt. 29:5.) 

1. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will mul- 
tiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is 
upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies

fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and 
were filled, and became fat, and delighted 
themselves in thy great goodness. 

26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and 
rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind 
their backs, and slew thy prophets which tes- 
tified against them to turn them to thee, and 
they wrought great provocations. 

27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the 
hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in 
the time of their trouble, when thy cried unto 
thee, thou heardest them from heaven ; and ac- 
cording to thy manifold mercies thou gavest 
them saviours, who saved them out of the 
hand of their enemies. 

28 But after they had rest, they did evil 
again before -thee : therefore lef test thou them 
in the hand of their enemies, so that they had 
the dominion over them: yet when they re- 
turned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest 
them from heaven; and many times didst thou 
deliver them according to thy mercies; 

29 And testifiedst against them, that thou 
mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet 
they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy 
commandments, but sinned against thy judg- 
ments, ( ;ii which if a man do, he shall live in 
them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hard- 
ened their neck, and would not hear. 

30 Yet many years didst thou forbear them, 
and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in 
thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: 
therefore gavest thou them into the hand of 
the people of the lands. 

31 Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake 
thcu didst not utterly consume them, nor for- 
sake them; for thou art a gracious and merci- 
ful God. 

32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the 
mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest cov- 
enant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem 
little before thee, that hath come upon us, on 
our kings, on our princes, and on our priests. 
and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and 
on all thy people, since the time of the kings 
of As-syr'I-a unto this day. 

33 Howbeit thou art just in all that is 
brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but 
we have done wickedly: 

34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our 
priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law. nor 
hearkened unto thy commandments and thy 
testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify 
against them. 

35 For they have not served thee in their 
kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou 
gavest them, and in the large and fat land 
which thou gavest before them, neither turned 
they from their wicked works.

selves from the people of the lands unto the 
law of God, their wives, their sons, and their 
daughters, every one having knowledge, and 
having understanding; 

29 They clave to their brethren, their no- 
bles, and entered into a curse, s and into an 
oath, Ho walk in God's law, which was given 
by Mo'ses the servant of God, and to observe 
and do all the c commandments of the Lord our 
God, and his judgments and his statutes; 



m. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, 
That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. (Rom. 10:5.) 
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live 
in them. (Gal. 3:12.) Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my 
Judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord. 
(Lev. 18:5.) 

n. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall 
send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in 
want of all things: find he shall put a yoke of iron upon thv neck, 
until he have destroyed thee. (Dt. 2Ss>.i 

o. And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the 
Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his 
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to 
perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. 
And all the people stood to the covenant. (II Ks. 23:3.) For, lo. our 
fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and 
our wives are in captivity for this (9). Now it is in mine heart to 
make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath mav 
turn away from us. (II Chr. 2S:!«, 10.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, say- 
ing, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not 
separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to 
their abominations, even of the Canaanites. the Hittites. "the Perizzites. 
the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the 
Amorites. (Ezra. 9:1.) Now therefore make confession unto the Lord 
God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from 



the people of the land, and from the strange wives (11). Then all the 
congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, 
so must we do (12). And they gave their hands that they would put 
away their wives: and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for 
their trespass. (Ezra 10:11, 12, 19.) Now it came to pass, when they had 
heard the law, that thev separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. 
(Neh. 13:3.) 

b. See o, ch. 9. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to 
fulfil the statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with 
concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be 
dismayed. (I Chr. 22:13.) My son, forget not my law; but let thine 
heart keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Only be thou strong and 
very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the 
law which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the 
right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou 
eoest. (Josh. 1:7.) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with 
him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. (Is. 3:10.) 

c. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I 
am the Lord. (Lev. 22:31.) My son, forget not my law; but let thine 
heart keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Thou shalt keep there- 
fore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this 
day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, 
and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord 
thy God giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) Therefore shall ye keep all 
the commandments which I command you this day. that ye may be 
strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it. 
(Dt. 11 :S.) But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto 
the voice of the Lord thy Gcd. to observe to do all his commandments

firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to 
bring to the house of our God, unto the priests 
that minister in the house of our God: 

37 And that we should bring the firstfruits 
of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit 
of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto 
the priests, to the chambers of the house of 
our God; and "the tithes of our ground unto 
the Le'vites, that the same Le'vites might have 
the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. 

38 And the priest the son of Aar'on shall 
be with the Le'vites, when the Le'vites ''take 
tithes: and the Le'vites shall bring up the 
tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, 
to the chambers, into the treasure house. 

39 For the children of Is'ra-el and the chil- 
dren of Levi shall bring the offering of the 
corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the

Bak-buk-i'ah the second among his brethren, 
and Ab'da the son of Sham-mu'a, the son of 
Ga'lal, the son of Jed'u-thun.

two hundred fourscore and four.

and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses 
shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) That thou 
mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his com- 
mandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's 
son, all the davs of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 
(Dt. 6:2.) 

d. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it 
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy 
man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that 
is within thy gates. (Ex. 20:10.) Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, 
as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. (Dt. 5:12.) 

e. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) The first of the first-fruits of thy land 
thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not 
seethe a kid in his mother's milk. (Ex. 23:19.) 

f. Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb 
among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine (2). 
That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, 
and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males 
shall be the Lord's (12). And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem 



with a lamb: and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his 
neck: and all the first-born of man among thy children shalt thou re- 
deem. (Ex. 13:2, 12, 13.) 

g. And all the tithe of the land, whether of the_seed of the land, 
cr of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. 
(Lev. 27:30.) 

h. Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye 
take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from 
them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it 
for the Lord, even a tenth part of the tithe. (Num. 18:26.) 

i. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the man- 
ner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so .much the more, as 
ye see the day approaching. (Heb. 10:25.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves 
upon the God of Israel: The Lord of hosts is his name. (Is. 4S:2.) 
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion : put on thy beautiful gar- 
ments. O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more 
come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. (Is. 52:1.) Then 
the devil taketh him tin into the holy city, and setteth him on a pin- 
nacle of the temple. (Mat. 4:5.)

and their brethren that kept the gates, were 
an hundred seventy and two. 

20 r And the residue of Is'ra-el, of the 
priests, and the Le'vites, were in all the cities 
of Ju'dah, every one in his inheritance. 

21 But the Neth'i-nims dwelt in O'phel: and 
Zi'ha and Gis'pa were over the Neth'i-nims. 

22 The overseer also of the Le'vites at Je- 
ru'sa-lem was Uz'zi the son of Ba'ni, the son 
of Hash-a-bi'ah, the son of Mat-ta-ni'ah, the 
son of Mi'cha. Of the sons of A'saph, the 
singers were over the business of the house 
of God. 

23 For Ht was the king's commandment 
concerning them, that a certain portion should 
be for the singers, due for every day. 

24 And Peth-a-hi'ah the son of Me-shez'a- 
be-el, of the children of Ze'rah the son of Ju'- 
dah, was at the king's hand in all matters' con- 
cerning the people. 

25 And for the villages, with their fields. 
some of the children of Ju'dah dwelt at Kir'- 
jath-ar'ba, and in the villages thereof, and at 
DiTDon, and in the villages thereof, and at Je- 
kab'ze-el, and in the villages thereof, 

26 'And at Jesh'u-a, and at Mol'a-dah, and 
at Beth-phe'let.

the villages thereof, 

29 And at En-rim'mon, and at Za're-ah, and 
at Jar'muth, 

30 Za-n5'ah, A-dul'lam, and in their villages. 
at La'chish, and the fields thereof, at A-ze'- 
kah, and in the villages thereof. And they 
dwelt from Be'er-she'ba unto the valley of 
Hin'nom. 

31 The children also of Ben'ja-min from 
Ge"ba dwelt at Mich'mash, and A-i'ja, and 
Beth '-el, and in their villages, 

32 And at An'a-thoth, Nob, An-a-ni'ah, 

33 Ha'zor. Ra'mah, Git'ta-im, 

34 Ha'did, Ze_-bo'im, Ne-bal'lat, 

35 Lod, and O'no, the valley of craftsmen.

Ju'dah, and in Ben'ja-min.

6 Shem-a-i'ah, and Joi'a-rib, Je-da'iah, 

7 Sal'lu, A'mck, Hil-ki'ah, Je-da'iah. These 
were the chief of the priests and of their 
brethren in the days of Jesh'u-a. 

8 Moreover the Le'vites: Jesh'u-a, Bin'nu-i. 
Kad'mi-el, Sher-e-bi'ah, Ju'dah, and Mat-ta- 
ni'ah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and 
his brethren.

gat Joi'a-da, 

11 And Joi'a-da begat Jon'a-than, and Jon'- 
a-than begat Jad-du'a. 

12 And in the days of Joi'a-kim were 
priests, the chief of the fathers: of Ser-a-i'ah, 
Mer-a-i'ah; of Jer-e-mi'ah, Han-a-ni'ah; 

13 Of Ezra, Me-shul'lam; of Am-a-ri'ah, 
Je-ho-ha'nan; 

14 Of Mel'i-cu, Jon'a-than; of Sheb-a-ni'ah, 
Jo'seph; 

15 Of Ha'rim, Ad'na; of Me-ra'ioth, Hel'-

Mo-a-di'ah, Pil'tai;

20 Of Sal'la-I. Kal'la-I; of A'mok, E'ber; 

21 Of Hil-ki'ah, Hash-a-bl'ah; of Je-da'iah, 
Ne-than'e-el. 

22 r The Le'vites in the days of E-li'a-shib, 
Joi'a-da, and Jo-ha'nan, and Jad-du'a, were 
recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, 
to the reign of Da-ri'us the Per'sian. 

23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fa- 
thers, were written in the book of the "chroni- 
cles, even until the days of Jo-ha'nan the son 
of E-li'a-shib. 

24 And the chief of the Le'vites: Hash-a- 
bi'ah, Sher-e-bi'ah, and Jesh'u-a the son of 
Kad'mi-el, with their brethren over against 
them, to praise and to give thanks, according 
to the commandment of Da'vid the man of 
God, ward over against ward. 

25 Mat-ta-ni'ah, and Bak-buk-i'ah, O-ba-di"- 
ah, Me-shul'lam, Tal'mon, Ak'kub, were por- 
ters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the 
gates. 

26 These were in the days of Joi'a-kim the 
son of Jesh'u-a, the son of Joz'a-dak, and in 
the days of Ne-he-mi'ah the governor, and of 
Ezra the priest, the scribe. 

27 r : And at the dedication of the wall of 
Je-ru'sa-lem they sought the Le'vites out of all 
their places, to bring them to Je-ru'sa-lem, to 
keep the dedication with gladness, "both with 
thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, 
psalteries, and with harps. 

28 And the sons of the singers gathered 
themselves together, both out of the plain 
country round about Je-ru'sa-lem, and from 
the villages of Ne-toph'a-thi; 

29 Also from _the house of Gil'gal, and out 
of the fields of GeTia and Az'ma-veth: for the 
singers had builded them villages round about 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

30 And the priests and the Le'vites puri- 
fied themselves, and purified the people, and 
the gates, and the wall. 

31 Then I brought up the princes of Ju'dah 
upon the wall, and appointed two great com- 
panies of them that gave thanks, whereof one 
went on the right hand upon the wall toward 
the dung gate: 

32 And after them went Hosh-a-i'ah, and 
half of the princes of Ju'dah, 

33 And Az-a-ri'ah, Ezra, and Me-shul'lam, 

34 Ju'dah, and Ben'ja-min, and Shem-a-i'ah, 
and Jer-e-mi'ah, 

35 And certain of the priests' sons with 



b. Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these 
Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, 
even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto 
these men, that they be not hindered (8). And that which they have 
need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt 
offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according 
to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be 
ziven them day by day without fail. (Ezra 6:8, 9.V And whatsoever 
more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have 



occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house. 
(Ezra 7:20.) 
Chapter 12. 

a. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as 
one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord: 
and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals 
and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is 
good: for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled 
with a cloud, even "the house of the Lord. (II Chr. 5:1?..) 

b. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify 
them todav and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. (Ex. 19:10.)

trumpets; namely, Zech-a-rl'ah the son of Jon'- 
a-uian, the son of Shem-a-i'ah, the son of 
Mat-ta-ni ah, the sonof Ml-cha'iah, the son of 
Zac'cur, the son of A'saph: 

36 And his brethren, Shem-a-I'ah, and 
A-zar'a-el, Mil-a-la'i, GU'a-lai, Ma-a'I, Ne- 
than'e-el, and Ju'dah, Ha-na'nl, with the music- 
al instruments of Da'vid the man of God, and 
Ezra the scribe before them. 

37 And at the fountain gate, which was 
over against them, they went up by the stairs 
of the city of Da'vid, at the going up of the 
wall, above the house of Da'vid, even unto the 
water gate eastward. 

38 And the other company of them that 
gave thanks went over against them, and I 
after them, and the half of the people upon 
the wall, from beyond the tower of the fur- 
naces even unto the broad wall; 

39 And from above the gate of E'phra'im, 
and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, 
and the tower of Ha-nan'e-el, and the tower of 
Me'ah, even unto the sheep gate: and they 
stood still in the prison gate. 

40 So stood the two companies of them that 
gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and 
the half of the rulers with me: 

41 And the priests; E-li'a-kim, Ma-a-se'iah, 
Ml-m'a-min, Mi'cha'iah, El-i-o-e'na-I, Zech-a- 
rT'ah, and Han-a-nl'ah, with trumpets; 

42 And Ma-a-se'iah, and Shem-a-i'ah, and 
E-le-a'zar, and Uz'zi, and Je ; ho-ha'nan, and 
Mal-chl'jah, and E'lam, and E'zer. And the 
singers sang loud, with Jez-ra-hi'ah their 
overseer. 

43 Also that day they offered great sacri- 
fices, and rejoiced: c for God had made them 
rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the 
children rejoiced: so that the joy of Je-ru'sa- 
lem was heard even afar off. 

44 f °And at that time were some appointed 
over the chambers for the treasures, for the 
offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, 
to gather into them out of the fields of the 
cities the portions of the law for the priests 
and Le'vites: for Ju'dah rejoiced for the 
priests and for the Le'vites that waited. 

45 And both the singers and the porters 
kept the ward of their God, and the ward of 
the purification, according to the command- 
ment of Da'vid, and of Sol'o-mon his son. 

46 For in the days of Da'vid and A'saph of 
old there were chief of the singers, and songs 
of praise and thanksgiving unto God. 

47 And all Is'ra-el in the days of Ze-rub'ba- 
bel, and in the days of Ne-he-mi'ah, gave the 
portions of the singers and the porters, every 
day his portion: and they sanctified holy 
things unto the Le'vites; and the Le'vites 
sanctified them unto the children of Aar'on. 

CHAPTER 13. 
1 Upon the reading of the law separation is 
made from the mixed multitude. 15 The 
violation of the sabbath, 23 and the mar- 
riages with strange wives. 

1 J On that day they read in the book of 
Mo'§e§ in the audience of the people; and 
therein was found written, that the Am'mon- 
Ite and the Mo'ab-Ite should not come into the 
congregation of God for ever;

ra-el with bread and with water, but hired 
Balaam against them, that he should curse

days Shalt thou labor and do all thy 
work, but the seventh day is the sab- 
bath of the Lord thy God: in it thou 
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy 
son. nor thy daughter, thy man-serv- 
ant nor thy maid-servant nor thy cat- 
tle, nor thy stranger that is within 
thy gates: for in six days the Lord 
made heaven and earth, the sea. and 
all that in them is. and rested the 
seventh day: wherefore the Lord 
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed 
it." This was also a forgetting of 
their covenant (ch. 10:31). 



them : howbeit our God "turned the curse into 
a blessing. 

3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard 
the law, that they separated from Is'ra-el all 
the mixed multitude. 

4 % 2 And before this, E-li'a-shib the priest, 
having the oversight of the chamber of the 
house of our God, was allied unto To-bi'ah: 

5 And he had prepared for him a great 
chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat 
''offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, 
and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and 
the oil, which 6 was commanded to be given to 
the Le'vites, and the singers, and the porters; 
and the offerings of the priests. 

6 But in all this time was not I at Je-ru'sa- 
lem: for in the two and thirtieth year of 
Ar-ta.x-erx'e§ king of Bab'y-lon came I unto 
the king, and after certain days obtained I 
leave of the king: 

7 And I came to Je-ru'sa-lem, and under- 
stood of the evil that E-h'a-shib did for To- 
bi'ah, in preparing him a chamber in the 
courts of the house of God. 

8 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast 
foi'th all the household stuff of To-bi'ah out 
of the chamber. 

9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed 4 the 
^chambers: and thither brought I again the 
vessels of the house of God, with the meat 
offering and the frankincense. 

10 H s And I perceived that the "portions of 
the Le'vites had d not been given them: for 
the Le'vites and the singers, that did the 
work, were fled every one to his field. 

11 Then contended I with the rulers, and 
said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And 
I gathered them together, and set them in 
their place. 

12 Then brought all Ju'dah the tithe of the 
corn and the new wine and the oil unto the 
treasuries. 

13 And I made treasurers over the treas- 
uries, Shel-e-ml'ah the priest, and Za'dok the 
scribe, and of the Le'vites, Pe-da'iah : and 
next to them was Ha'nan the son of Zac-cur, 
the son of Mat-ta-nl'ah : for they were counted 
faithful, and their office was to distribute unto 
their brethren. 

14 Remember me, O my God, concerning 
this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I 
have done for the house of my God, and for 
the offices thereof. 

15 H 7 In those days saw I in Ju'dah some 
treading wine 8 presses c on the sabbath, and 
bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as 
also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of 
burdens, which they brought into Je-ru'sa-lem 
on the sabbath day: and I testified against 
them in the day wherein they sold victuals. 

16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, 
which brought fish, and all manner of ware, 
and sold on the sabbath unto the children of 
Ju'dah, and in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

17 Then I contended with the nobles of 
Ju'dah, and said unto them, What evil thing 
is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath 
day? 

18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not 
our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon 
this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Is'- 
ra-el by profaning the sabbath. 

19 And it came to pass, that when the gates 
of Je-ru'sa-lem began to be dark before the 



c. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will 
triumph in the works of thy hands. (Ps. 92:4.) When the Lord turned 
again the captivity of Zicm, we were like them that dream. (Ps. 126:1.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Nevertheless the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; 
but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, be- 
cause the Lord thy God loved thee. (Dt. 23:5.) 

b. And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth 
in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even 
the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. (Num. 18:21.) 

c. And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now your- 



selves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and 
carry forth the fllthiness out ef the holy place. (II Chr. 29:5 J 

d. Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, 
Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. (Mai. 3:8.) 

e. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it 
fhou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, 
thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger 
that is within thy gates. (Ex. 20:10.) Thus saith the Lord; Take 
heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring 
it in by the gates of Jerusalem. (Jer. 17:21.)

sabbath, I commanded that the gates should 
be shut, and charged that they should not 
be opened till after the sabbath: and some of 
my servants set I at the gates, that there 
should no burden be brought in on the sabbath 
day. 

20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind 
of ware lodged without Je-ru'sa-lem once or 
twice. 

21 Then I testified against them, and said 
unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye 
do so again, I will lay hands on you. From 
that time forth came they no more on the 
sabbath. 

22 And I commanded the Le'vltes that they 
should cleanse themselves, and that they should 
come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sab- 
bath day. Remember me, my God, con- 
cerning this also, and spare me according 
to the greatness of thy mercy. 

23 r *In those days also saw I Jews that 
had married wives of 'Ash'dod, of Am'mon ; 
and of Mo'ab: 

24 And their children spake half in the 
speech of Ash'dod, and could not speak in the 
Jews' language, but according to the lan- 
guage of each people. 

25 And I contended with them, and cursed 



9. Vs. 23-31 detail the dissolving 
of foreign marriages. Its very prac- 
tice was defeating one of the pur- 
poses of God. as he had isolated and 
set apart the Jews from all other na- 
tions that they might be a people for 
the nurturing of the great ideas of 
the true religion, so as to prepare a 
people from among whom the Messiah 
could be brought forth. Constantly 
intermingling and intermarrying with 
other nations could but eventually de- 
feat this design.

them, and smote certain of them, and plucked 
off their hair, and made them swear by God, 
saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto 
their sons, nor take their daughters unto your 
sons, or for yourselves. 

26 Did not Sol'o-mon king of Is'ra-el sin by 
these things? yet 'among many nations was 
there no king like him, who was beloved of his 
God, and God made him king over all Is'ra-el: 
nevertheless even him did ^'outlandish women 
cause to sin. 

27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all 
this great evil, to transgress against our God 
in marrying strange wives? 

28 And one of the sons of Joi'a-da, the son 
of E-li'a-shib the high priest, was son in law 
to San-baliat the Hor'o-nite: therefore I 
chased him from me. 

29 Remember "them, my God, because 
they have defiled the priesthood, and '■the 
covenant of the priesthood, and of the Le'- 
vites. 

30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, 
and appointed the wards of the priests and 
the Le'vltes, every one in his business; 

31 And for the wood offering, at times ap- 
pointed, and for the firstfruits. 'Remember

both riches and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings 
like unto thee all thy days. (I Ks. 3:13.) Wisdom and knowledge is 
granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, 
such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither 
shall there any after thee hare the like. (II Chr. 1:12.)

you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. (Num. 25:13.)

THE 



BOOK OF ESTHER 



NOTE. — Esther takes Its name from the woman who is Its heroine. It is altogether unique and reads like an oriental romance. A strong and very 
striking picture of t^e faithlessness and extravagance of the king is presented. We see him reveling in every carnal luxury and pleasure, feasting nobles and 
princes without number, and knowing no limit to his extravagance and folly. Amidst the splendor of gold and variegated robes of royal splendor, the scenes 
of the Persian Court all pass before us like an enchanted vision. Nowhere in it is found the theocratic spirit so conspicuous in the other historical books. 
The name of God is not even mentioned in it. Throughout it breathes the vindictive spirit o£ the Jews toward their enemies. They have lost their national 
spirit during their exile through contact with other races, still they remain true to the great principles of their religion. Mordecai would not compromise 
his religion by bowing down to a mortal (Esth. 3:2, 3). And at the moment when destruction threatened his nation, in confidence he expects divine help 
(Esth. 4:14). * Therefore the author's purpose is to show that the follies of Xerxes and Haman were not sanctioned by Jehovah, but were divinely overruled. 
In It is shown the character of those who did not return from exile and the fact that they, a part of the chosen people, though they prefer not to return 
to Jerusalem, still are subjects of divine oversight and care. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 Ahasuerus maketh royal feasts. 10 Vashti, 
sent for, refuseth to come. 13 Ahasuerus 
maketh the decree of men's sovereignty. 

1 Now it came to pass in the days of 
A-ha§-u-e'rus, (this is A-ha§-u-eTrus which 
reigned, from ^nd'ia even unto E-thi-5'pi-a, 
over an hundred and seven and twenty prov- 
inces : ) 

2 That in those days, when the king A-ha§- 
u-e'rus sat on the throne of his kingdom, 
which was in Shu'shan the palace, 

3 In the third year of his reign, he "made 
a feast unto all his princes and his servants; 
the power of Per'gia and Me'di-a, the nobles 
and princes of the provinces, being before 
him: 

4 When he shewed the riches of his glori- 
ous kingdom and the honour of his excellent 
majesty many days, even an hundred and 
fourscore days. 

5 And when these days were expired, the 
king made a feast unto all the people that 
were present in Shu'shan the palace, both 
unto great and small, seven days, in the court 
of the garden of the king's palace; 

6 Where were white, green, and blue, hang- 
ings, fastened with cords of fine linen and 
purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: 
the ''beds were of gold and silver, upon a 
pavement of red, 'and blue, and white, and 
black, marble. 

7 And they gave them drink in vessels of 
gold, (the vessels being ^diverse one from an- 
other,) and royal wine in abundance, accord- 
ing to the state of the king. 

8 And the drinking was according to the 
law; none did compel: for so the king had 
appointed to all the officers of his house, that 
they should do according to every man's pleas- 
ure. 

9 Also 3 Vash'ti the queen made a feast for 
the women in the royal house which balonged 
to king A-has-u-e'rus. 

10 1 4 On the seventh day, when the heart of 
the king was merry with wine, he commanded 
Me-hu'man, Biz'tha, Har-b5'na, Big'tha, and 
A-bag'tha, Ze'thar, and Car'cas, the seven 
chamberlains that served in the presence of 
A-has-u-e'rus the king, 

11 To bring "Vash'ti the queen before the

king with the crown royal, to shew the people 
and the princes her beauty: for she was fair 
to look on. 

12 But the queen Vash'tl 5 refused to come 
at the king's commandment by his chamber- 
lains: therefore was the king very wroth, and 
his anger burned in him. 

13 11 Then the king said to the wise men, 
which knew the times, (for so was the king's 
manner toward all that knew law and judg- 
ment: 

14 And the next unto him was Car-she'na, 
She'thar, Ad'ma-tha, Tar'shish, Me're§, Mar'- 
se-na, and Me-mu'can, the d seven princes of 
Per'§ia and Me'di-a, which saw the king's 
face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;) 

15 What shall we do unto the queen Vash'tl 
according to law, because she hath not per- 
formed the commandment of the king A-ha§-u- 
e'rus by the chamberlains? 

16 And Me-mu'can answered before the king 
and the princes, Vash'ti the queen hath not 
done wrong to the king only, but also to all 
the princes, and to all the people that are in 
all the provinces of the king A-ha§-u-e'rus. 

17 For this deed of the queen shall come 
abroad unto all women, so that they shall 
despise their husbands in their eyes, when it 
shall be reported, The king A-has-u-e'rus com- 
manded Vash'ti the queen to be brought in 
before him, but she came not. 

18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and 
Me'di-a say this day unto all the king's 
princes, which have heard of the deed of the 
queen. Thus shall there arise too much con- 
tempt and wrath. 

19 If it please the king, let there go a 
royal commandment from him, and let it be 
written among the laws of the Persians and 
the Mede§, 'that it be not altered, That Vash'- 
ti come no more before king A-has-u-e'rus ; 
and let the king give her royal estata unto 
another that is better than she. 

20 And when the king's decree which he 
shall make shall be published throughout all 
his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives 
shall give fto their husbands honour, both to 
great and small. 

21 And the saying pleased the king and the 
princes; and the king did according to the 
word of Me-mu'can: 

22 For he sent letters into all the king's 
provinces, "into every province according to the 



Ref. Esther. Chapter 1. 

a. And it came to pass the third day, "which was Pharaoh's birth- 
day, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the 
head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 
(Gen. 40:20.) Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes 
and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the 
provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king. (Esth. 2:18.) 
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made 
a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee. 
(Mk. 6:21.) 

b. And sattest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, 
whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. (Ezek. 23:41.) 
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, 
and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of 
the stall. (Amos 6:4.) 

c. A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. 
(Prov. 16:9.) O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: 
it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) 

d. Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven 
counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to 
the law of thy God which is in thine hand. (Ezra 7:14.) Wise men 
lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 
(Prov. 10:14.) 



e. Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, 
and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in 
the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse. 
(Esth. 8:8.) Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that 
it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, 
which altereth not. (Dan. 6:8.) 

f. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the 
Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the 
head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (Eph. 5:22, 23.) 
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the 
Lord. (Col. 3:18.) Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own 
husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the 
word be won by the conversation of the wives. (I Pet. 3:1.) 

g. Then were the king's scribes caUed at that time in the third 
month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; 
and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the 
Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the prov- 
inces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and 
seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, 
and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according 
to their writing, and according to their language. (Esth. 8:9.)

writing thereof, and to every people after their 
language, that every man should "bear rule 
in his own house, and that it should be pub- 
lished according to the language of every 
people. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 A queen is to be chosen. 5 Mordecai the 
'nursing father of Esther. 8 Esther is pre- 
ferred before the rest. 12 The manner of 
purification, and going in to the king. 15 
Esther, best pleasing the king, is made 
queen. 21 Mordecai, discovering a treason, 
is recorded in the chronicles. 

1 I After these things, when the wrath of 
king A-has-u-e'rus was appeased, he remem- 
bered Vash'ti, and what she had done, and 
,J what was decreed against her. 

2 Then said the king's servants that min- 
istered unto him, Let there be fair young 
Mrgins sought for the king: 

3 And let the king appoint officers in all 
the provinces of his kingdom, that they may 
gather together all the fair young virgins unto 
Shu'shan the palace, to the house of the 
women, unto the custody of He'ge the king"s 
chamberlain, keeper of the women ; and let 
their things for purification be given them: 

4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the 
king be queen instead of Vash'ti. And the 
thing pleased the king; and he did so. 

5 r Now in Shu'shan the palace there was 
a certain Jew, whose name was 4 Mor'de-cai, 
the son of Ja'ir, the son of Shfm'e-i, the son 
of Kish, a Ben'ja-mite; 

6- J Who had been carried away from Je- 
ru'sa-lem with the captivity which had been 
carried away with Jec-o-ni'ah king of Ju'dah, 
whom Xeb-u-ehad-nez'zar the king of Baby- 
lon had carried away. 

7 And he brought up Ha-das'sah, that is, 
'Es'ther, his uncle's daughter: for she had 
neither father nor mother, and the maid was 
fair and beautiful; whom Mor'de-cai, when 
her father and mother were dead, took for his 
own daughter. 

8 r So it came to pass, when the king's com- 
mandment and his decree was heard, and 
when many maidens were gathered together 
unto Shu'shan the palace, to the custody of 
Heg'a-i, that 5 Es'ther was brought also unto 
the king's house, to the custody of Heg'a-i, 
keeper of the women. 

9 And the maiden pleased him, and she 
obtained kindness of him; and he speedily 
grave her her things for purification, with 
such things as belonged to her, and seven 
maidens, which were meet to be given her, 
out of the king's house : and he preferred her 
and her maids unto the best place of the house 
of the women. 

10 'Es'ther had not shewed her people nor 
her kindred : for Mor'de-cai had charged her 
that she should c not shew it. 



Ch. 2. B. C. 518-515. 



1. Vs. 1-1S. Esther is made queen. 



2. That is. after the events of the 
last ch.. particularly the divorce of 

Vashti. 



3. The servants of the king were 
striving to prevent Vashti's restora- 
tion. 



4. Esther's uncle, son of Jair of 
the tribe of Benjamin, one of the 
king's servants. 



5. The fair young Jewish maiden 
selected to fill the place of Vashti. 



6. Vs. 19-23. Mordecai exposes a 
court conspiracy. 



7. The official records kept by the 
royal scribes. 



11 And Mor'de-cai walked every day before 
the court of the women's house, to know how 
Es'ther did, and what should become of her. 

12 r Now when every maid's turn was come 
to go in to king A-has-u-e'rus, after that she 
had been twelve months, according to the 
manner of the women, (for so were the days 
of their purification accomplished, to wit, six 
months with oil of rnyrrh, and six months 
with sweet odours, and with other things for 
the purifying of the women;) 

13 Then thus came every maiden unto the 
king; whatsoever she desired was given her to 
go with her out of the house of the women 
unto the king's house. 

14 In the evening she went, and on the 
morrow she returned into the second house 
of the women, to the custody of Sha-ash'gaz, 
the king's chamberlain, which kept the con- 
cubines: she came in unto the king no more, 
except the king delighted in her, and that 
she were called by name. 

15 r Xow when the turn of Es'ther, the 
daughter of Ab-i-ha'il the uncle of Mor'de-cai, 
who had taken her for his daughter, was 
come to go in unto the king, she required 
nothing but what Heg'a-i the king's chamber- 
lain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And 
Es'ther obtained favour in the sight of all 
them that looked upon her. 

16 So Es'ther was taken unto king A-has- 
u-e'rus into his house royal in the tenth month, 
which is the month TetDeth, in the seventh 
year of his reign. 

17 And the king loved Es'ther above all the 
women, and she obtained grace and favour d in 
his sight more than all the virgins; so that 
he f set the royal crown upon her head, and 
made her queen instead of Vash'ti. 

18 Then the king made a great feast unto 
all his princes and his servants, even Es'ther's 
feast; and he made a release to the provinces, 
and gave gifts, according to the state of the 
king. 

19 "And when the virgins were gathered to- 
gether the second time, then Mor'de-cai sat in 
the king's gate. 

20 Es'ther had not yet shewed her kindred 
nor her people; as Mor'de-cai had charged hej: 
for Es'ther did the commandment of Mor'de- 
cai, like as when she was brought up with 
him. 

21 *~ In those days, while Mor'de-cai sat in 
the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, 
Big'than and Te'resh, of those which kept 
the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand 
on the king A-has-u-e'rus. 

22 And the thing was known to Mor'de-cai, 
who ftold it unto Es'ther the queen; and Es- 
ther certified the king thereof in Mor'de-cai's 
name. 

23 And when inquisition was made of the 
matter, it was found out; therefore they were 
-"both hanged on a tree: and it was written 
in the book of the 7 chronicles before the king. 



h. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives 
be to their own husbands in every thing. (Eph. 5:24.) Husbands, love 
your wives, and be not bitter against them. (Col. 3:19.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. See ch. 1:19. 

b. And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all 
the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the crafts- 
men and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of 
the land. And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's 
mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the 
land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. (II 
Ks. 24:14, 15.) And them that had escaped from the sword carried he 
away to Babylon ; where they were servants to him and his sons until 
the reign of the kingdom of Persia. (TI Chr. 36:20.) 

c. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness 
into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and a sound of a shaken 
leaf shall chase them: and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword: 
and they shall fall when none pursueth. (Lev. 26:36.) And among 
these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot 
have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and 
failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind. (Dt. 28:65.) 

d. And Mordecai commanded to answer Esther. Think not with 
thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the 



Jews. For i*" thou altogether holdeth thy peace at this time, then shall 
there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; 
but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth 
whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (Esth. 
4:13, 14.) The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of 
water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. (Prov. 21:1.) 

e. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the 
beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make 
them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the 
Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them. (I Sam. 2:S.) For pro- 
motion eometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the 
south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up 
another. (Ps. 75:6, 7.) He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and 
lifteth the needy out of the dunghill: That he may set him with 
princes, even with the princes of his people. (Ps. 113:7, 8.) 

f. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty 
inventions. (Prov. 8:12.) Look not every man on his own things, but 
every man also on the things of others. (Phil. 2:4.) 

g. And if a man hath committed a sin worthy of death, and he be 
to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:- His body shall not 
remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him 
that day: (for he that is hanged is accursed -of God:) that thy land be 
not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

CHAPTER 3. 
1 Hainan, despised by Mordecai, seeketh re- 
venge upon all the Jews. 7 He casieth lots. 
8 He obtaineth by calumniation a decree of 
the king to put the Jews to death. 

1 'After these things did king A-ha§-u-e'- 
rus promote Ha'man the son of Ham-med'a- 
tha the A'gag-Ite, and advanced him, and set 
his seat above all the princes that were with 
him. 

2 And all the king's servants, that were in 
the king's gate, bowed, "and reverenced Ha'- 
man : for the king had so commanded concern- 
ing him. But & Mor'de-cai bowed mot, nor did 
him reverence. 

3 Then the king's servants, which were in 
the king's gate, said unto Mor'de-cai, Why 
3 transgressest thou the king's commandment? 

4 Now it came to pass, when they spake 
daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto 
them, that they told Ha'man, to see whether 
Mor'de-cai's matters 4 would stand: for he had 
told them that he was a Jew. 

5 And when Ha'man saw that Mor'de-cai 
c bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was 
Ha'man d full of wrath. 

6 And he thought scorn = to lay hands on 
Mor'de-cai alone; for they had shewed_ him 
the people of Mor'de-cai: wherefore Ha'man 
e sought to destroy all the Jew§ that were 
throughout the -whole kingdom of A-hasj-u-e'- 
riis, even the people of Mor'de-cai. 

7 II In the first month, that is, the month 
Ni'san, in the twelfth year of king A-hasj-u-e'- 
rus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Ha'- 
man from day to day, and from month to 
month, to the twelfth month, that is, the 
month A'dar. 

8 1[ And Ha'man said unto king A-has-u-e'- 
rus, There is a certain people scattered abroad 
and dispersed among the people in all the prov- 
inces of thy kingdom; and f their laws are 
diverse from all people; neither keep "they 
the king's laws: therefore it is not for the 
king's profit to suffer them. 

9 If it please the king, let it be written 
that they may be destroyed: and I will pay 
ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of 
those that have the charge of the business, to 
bring it into the king's treasuries. 

10 And the king #took his s ring from his 
hand, and gave it unto Ha'man the son of 
Ham-med'a-tha the A'gag-Ite, the Jews' enemy.

silver is given to thee, the people also, to do 
with them as it seemeth good to thee.

Ch. 3. b. c. 510. 



1. Vs. 1-15, Haman promoted and 
the cruel edict . Issued against the 
Jews. 



2. Haman was requiring worship 
like a god, which to a Jew was 
idolatry, and Mordecai refused to 
bow down. 



3. Because he was a Jew and the 
rules of his religion would not allow 
even the semblance of idolatrous wor- 
ship. 



4. That is, would religious scru- 
ples of a Jew be allowed to stand in 
opposition to Persian law? 



5. That is, it was too little a 
thing to punish Mordecai alone, his 
whole race must suffer. 



6. Likewise, because of religious 
scruples, Daniel and his companions 
had refused to keep the law of 
heathen kings. (Dan. 1:8) — "But 
Daniel purposed in his heart that he 
would not defile himself with the por- 
tion of the king's meat nor with the 
wine which he drank, therefore he 
requested of the prince of the eunuchs 
that he might not defile himself." 



7. About $1,700,000. 



8. The signet or seal of authority. 
(Esther 8:8) — "For the writing which 
is written in the king's name and 
sealed with the king's ring may no 
man reverse."

that the dread of such judgment 
might hang heavily on the condemned 
race.

mourning and fasting of the con- 
demned race after the cruel edict had

engaged, Esther shows her sublime 
faith in Jehovah by resolving to go 
unbidden before the king, trusting in 
Jehovah for deliverance. 



the thirteenth day of the first month, and 
there was written according to all that Ha'- 
man had commanded unto the king's lieuten- 
ants, and to the governors that were over 
every province, and to the rulers of every 
people of every province according to the writ- 
ing thereof, and to every people after their 
language; ''in the name of king A-ha§-u-e'rus 
was it written, and sealed with the king's 
ring. 

13 And the letters were sent by posts into 
all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, 
and to cause to perish, all Jew§, both young, 
and old, little children and women, in "one day, 
even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth 
month, which is the month A'dar, and 'to take 
the spoil of them for a prey. 

14 The copy of the writing for a command- 
ment to be given in every province was pub- 
lished unto all people, that they should be 
ready against that day. 

15 The posts went out, being hastened by 
the king's commandment, and the decree was 
given in Shu'shan the palace. And the king 
and Ha'man sat down ■'to drink; but the city 
Shu'shan was perplexed. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 The great mourning of Mordecai and the 
Jews. 4 Esther sendeth to Mordecai, who 
sheweth the cause, and adviseth her to un- 
dertake the suit. 10 She excusing herself is 
threatened by Mordecai. 15 She appointing 
a fast undertaketh the suit. 

1 'When Mor'de-cai perceived all that was 
done, Mor'de-cai rent his clothes, and put on 
sackcloth "with ashes, and went out into the 
midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a 
bitter cry; 

2 And came even before the king's gate: 
for none might enter into the king's gate 
clothed with sackcloth. 

3 And in every province, whithersoever the 
king's commandment and his decree came, 
there was great mourning among the Jewg, 
and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and 
many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 

4 11 So Es'ther's maids and her chamber- 
lains came and told it her. Then was the 
queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent rai- 
ment to clothe Mor'de-cai, and to take away 
his sackcloth from him: but he received it not. 

5 Then called Es'ther for Ha'tach, one of 
the king's chamberlains, whom he had appoint- 
ed to attend upon her, and gave him a com- 
mandment to Mor'de-cai, to know what it was, 
and why it was. 

6 So Ha'tach went forth to Mor'de-cai unto 



(Dt. 21:22, 23.) On that night could not the king sleep, and he com- 
manded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were 
read before the king. And it was found written, that Mordecai had 
told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the 
keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 
(Esth. 6:1, 2.) 
Chapter 3. 

a. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; 
and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over 
all the land of Egypt. (Gen. 41:43.) 

b. But the midwives feareu God, and did not as the king of Egypt 
commanded them, but saved the men children alive. (Ex. 1:17.) In 
whose eyes a vile person is ccidemned; but he honoreth them that 
fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 
(Ps. 15:4.) 

c. Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: 
but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, 
nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai. 
(Esth. 5:9.) 

d. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty: but a fool's wrath is 
heavier than them both. (Prov. 27:3.) Then was Nebuchadnezzar full 
of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, 
Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they 
should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be 
heated. (Dan. 3:19.) 

e. Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the 
name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. (Ps. 83:4.) 

f. Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and 
the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom; 
and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings. (Ezra 4:13.) 
And brought them to the magistrate, saying, These men, being Jews. 
do exceedingly trouble our city. (Acts 16:20.) 



g. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon 
Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a 
gold chain 'about his neck. (Gen. 41:42.) Write ye also for the Jews, 
as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: 
for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with 
the king's ring, may no man reverse. (Esth. 8:8.) 

h. Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that 
it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, 
which altereth not. (Dan. 6:8.) 

i. Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city 
to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, 
to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province 
that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the 
spoil of them for a prey. (Esth. 8:11.) 

j. Have all the workers of iniquity, no knowledge? who eat up 
my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. (Ps. 14:4.) 
Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her 
mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. For three things the 
earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: For a servant 
when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat. (Prov. 
30:20-22.) In the day of our .king the princes have made him sick 
with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hands with scorners. (Hos. 
7:5.) That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief 
ointments. (Amos 6:6.) When the righteous are in authority, the 
people rejoice: but when the wicked dareth rule, the people mourn. 
(Prov. 29:2.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face 
before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of 
Israel, and put dust upon their heads. (Josh. 7:6.) And shall cause 
their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall 
cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the 
ashes. (Ezek. 27:30.)

the street of the city, which was before the 
king's gate. 

7 And Mor'de-cai told him of all that had 
happened unto him, and of the sum of the 
money that Ha'man had promised to pay to 
the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy 
them. 

8 Also he gave him 6 the copy of the writing 
of the decree that was given at Shu'shan to 
destroy them, to shew it unto Es'ther, and to 
declare it unto her, and to charge her that she 
should go in unto the king, to make supplica- 
tion unto him, and to make 'request before him 
for her people. 

9 And Ha'tach came and told Es'ther the 
words of Mor'de-cai. 

10 r Again Es'ther spake unto Ha'tach, and 
gave him commandment unto Mor'de-cai; 

11 All the king's servants, and the people 
of the king's provinces, do know, that who- 
soever, whether man or woman, shall come 
unto the king into the inner court, who is not 
called, there is one law of his to put him to 
death, ^except such to whom the king shall 
hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: 
but I have not been called to come in unto 
the king these thirty days. 

12 And they told to Mor'de-cai Esther's 
words. 

13 Then Mor'de-cai commanded to answer 
Es'ther, Think r not with thyself that thou 
shalt escape in the king's house, more than 
all the Jews. 

14 For if thou altogether boldest thy peace 
at this time, then shall there enlargement and 
''deliverance arise to the Jews from another 
place; but thou and thy father's house shall 
be destroyed: and who knowest whether thou 
art come to the kingdom for such a time as 
this? 

15 *~ Then Es'ther bade them return Mor'- 
de-cai this answer, 

16 Go, gather together all the Jews that 
are present in Shu'shan, and ^fast ye for me, 
and neither eat nor drink three days, night 
or day: I also and my maidens will fast like- 
wise; and so will I go in unto the king, which 
is not according to the law: and if I perish, 
I perish. 

17 So Mor'de-cai went his way, and did ac- 
cording to all that Es'ther had commanded 
him. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 Esther obtaineth the grace of the golden 
sceptre, and inviteth the king and Hainan 
to a banquet. 6 She inviteth them to an- 
other banquet the next day. 9 Hainan, 
proud of' his advancement, repineth at the 
contempt of Mordecai. 14 By the counsel 
of Zeresh he buildeth for him a pair of 
gallows. 
1 'Now it came to pass on the third °day, 

that Es'ther put on her royal apparel, and

stood in Hhe inner court of the king's house, 
over against the king's house: and the king 
sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, 
over against the gate of the house. 

2 And it was so, when the king saw Es'ther 
the queen standing in the court, that c she ob- 
tained favour in his sight: and the king held 
out to Es'ther the golden sceptre that was in 
his hand. So Es'ther drew near, and touched 
the top of the sceptre. 

3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt 
thou, queen Es'ther? and what is thy request? 
f it shall be even given thee to the half of the 
kingdom. 

4 And Es'ther answered, If it seem good 
unto the king, let the king and Ha'man come 
this day unto the banquet that I have prepared 
for him. 

5 Then the king said, Cause Ha'man to 
make haste, that he may do as Es'ther hath 
said. So the king and Ha'man came to the 
banquet that Es'ther had prepared. 

6 r And the king said unto Es'ther at the 
banquet of wine. What d is thy petition? and it 
shall be granted thee: and what is thy re- 
quest? even to the half of the kingdom it 
shall be performed. 

7 Then answered Es'ther, and said, My pe- 
tition and my request is; 

8 If I have found favour in the sight of the 
king, and if it please the king to grant my 
petition, and to perform my request, let the 
king and Ha'man come to the banquet that I 
shall prepare for them, and I will do to mor- 
row as the king hath said. 

9 * Then went Ha'man forth that day joy- 
ful and c with a glad heart: but when Ha'man 
saw Mor'de-cai in the king's gate, that he 
stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full 
of indignation against Mor'de-cai. 

10 Nevertheless Ha'man refrained himself: 
and when he came home, he sent and called 
for his friends, and Ze'resh his wife. 

11 And Ha'man told them of the glory of his 
riches, and the multitude of his children, and 
all the things wherein the king had promoted 
him, and how he had ^advanced him above the 
princes and servants of the king. 

12 Ha'man said moreover, Yea, Es'ther the 
queen did let no man come in with the king 
unto the banquet that she had prepared but my- 
self; and Ho morrow am I invited unto her 
also with the king. 

13 Yet 'all this availeth me nothing, so 
long as I see Mor'de-cai the Jew sitting at the 
king's gate. 

14 *~ Then said Ze'resh his wife and all his 
friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of 
fifty 4 cubits high, and to morrow 6 speak thou 
unto the king that Mor'de-cai may be hanged 
thereon: then go thou in merrily with the 
king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased 
Ha'man; and he caused -'the gallows to be 
made.

e. Knowest thou not this of old. since man was placed upon earth. 
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypo-

reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. (Esth. 3:5.) In whose eyes 
a vile person is condemned: but he honcretb them that fear the Lord 
He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. (Ps. 15:4.) And

but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in 
hell. (Mat. 10:2S.) 

g. After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son 
of Hammedatha the Aggagite. and advanced hint, and set his seat above 
all the princes that were with him. And all the king's servants, that 
were in the king's gates, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king 
had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did 
him reverence. (Esth. 3:1, 2.)

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Ahasuerus, reading in the chronicles of the 
good service done by Mordecai, taketh care 
for his reward. 4 Hainan, coming to sue 
that Mordecai might be hanged, unawares 
giveth counsel that he might do him honour. 
12 Complaining of his misfortune, his 
friends tell him of his final destiny. 

1 On that 'night "could not the king sleep, 
and he commanded to bring the book of rec- 
ords of the chronicles; and they were read 
before the king. 

2 And it was found written, that Mor'de-cai 
had Hold of Big'tha-na and Te'resh, two of 
the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the 
door, who sought to lay hand on the king 
A-has-u-e'rus. 

3 And the king said, What 'honour and dig- 
nity hath been done to Mor'de-cai for this? 
Then said the king's servants that ministered 
unto him, There is nothing done for him. 

4 % And the king said. Who is in the court? 
Now Ha'man was come into the outward court 
of the king's house, d to speak unto the king 
to hang Mor'de-cai on the "gallows that he 
had prepared for him. 

5 And the king's servants said unto him, 
Behold, Ha'man standeth in the court. And 
the king said, Let him come in. 

6 So Ha'man came in. And the king said 
unto him, What shall be done unto the man 
whom the king delighteth to honour? Now 
Ha'man thought in his heart, To whom would 
the king delight to do honour more than to 
myself? 

7 And Ha'man answered the king, For the 
man whom the king delighteth to honour, 

8 Let the royal apparel be brought which 
the king useth to wear, and c the horse that 
the king rideth upon, and the crown 'royal 
which is set upon his head: 

9 And let this apparel and horse be deliv- 
ered to the hand ,of one of the king's most 
noble princes, that they may array the man 
withal whom the king delighteth to honour, 
and bring him on horseback through the street 
of the city, and proclaim ^before him, Thus 
shall it be done to the man whom the king de- 
lighteth to honour. 

10 Then the king- said to Ha'man, Make 
haste, ^and take the apparel and the horse, 
as thou hast said, and do even so to Mor'de-cai 
the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let 
nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. 

11 Then took Ha'man the apparel and the 
horse, and arrayed Mor'de-cai, and brought 
him on horseback through the street of the 
city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it 
be done unto the man whom the king de- 
lighteth to honour. 

12 If And Mor'de-cai came again to the 
king's gate. But Ha'man hastened to his house 
mourning, and having his head covered.

13 And Ha'man told Ze'resh his wife and 
all his friends every thing that had befallen 
him. Then said his wise men and Ze'resh 
his wife unto him, If Mor'de-cai be of the seed 
of the Jew§, before whom thou hast begun 
to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, 
but shalt surely fall before him. 

14 And while they were yet talking with 
him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted 
to bring Ha'man unto the banquet that Es'- 
ther had prepared. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Esther, entertaining the king and Haman, 
maketh suit for her own life and her peo- 
ple's. 5 She accuseth Hainan. 7 The king 
in his anger, understanding of the gallows 
which Haman had made for Mordecai, caus- 
eth him to be hanged thereon. 

1 ] So the king and Ha'man came to banquet 
with Es'ther the queen. 

2 And the king said again unto Es'ther on 
the second day at the banquet of wine, What 
is thy petition, queen Es'ther? and it shall be 
granted thee: and what is thy request? and it 
shall be performed, even to the half cf the 
kingdom. 

3 Then Es'ther the queen answered and 
said, If I have found favour in thy sight, 
king, and if it please the king, let my life be 
given me at my petition, and my people at my 
request : 

4 For we are "sold, I and my people, to be 
destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if 
we had been sold for bondmen and bond- 
women, I had held my tongue, although the 
enemy could not countervail the king's dam- 
age. 

5 1f Then the king A-has-u-e'rus answered 
and said unto Es'ther the queen, Who is he, 
and where is he, that durst presume in his 
heart to do so? 

6 And Es'ther said, The adversary and en- 
emy is this 2 wicked Ha'man. Then Ha'man 
was afraid before the king and the queen. 

7 I And the king arising from the banquet 
of wine in his wrath went into the palace gar- 
den: and Ha'man stood 6 up to make request 
for his life to Es'ther the queen; for he saw 
that there was evil determined against him 
by the king. 

8 Then the king returned out of the palace 
garden into the place of the banquet of wine; 
and Ha'man was fallen upon the bed whereon 
Es'ther was. Then said the king, Will he 
force the queen also before me in the house? 
As the word went out of the king's mouth, 
they covered Hainan's face. 

9 And Har-bo'nah, one of the chamberlains, 
said before the king, Behold also, the gallows 
3 fifty cubits high, which Ha'man had made 
for Mor'de-cai, who d had spoken good for the 



Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house 
of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. So they hanged 
Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was 
the king's wrath pacified. (Esth. 7:9, 10.) Behold, they belch out with 
their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? 
(Ps. 59:7.) For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. 
(Prov. 1:16.) 
Chapter 6. 

a. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for 
his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is 
none shut up or left. (Dt. 32:36.) And the preparations of the heart 
in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord. (Prov. 16:1.) 
The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he 
turneth it whithersoever he will. (Prov. 21:1.) O Lord, I know that the 
way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that waiketh to direct 
his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) 

b. And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found 
out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written 
in the book of the chronicles before the king. (Esth. 2:23.) 

e. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall 
reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:9.) 

d. See ch. 5:14. 

e. Take with you the servants of your lord, and call Solomon my 
son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon. (I 
Ks. 1:33.) 

f. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon 



Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a 
gold chain about his neck. And he made him to ride in the second 
chariot which he had: and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and 
he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. (Gen. 41:42, 43.) 

g. To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn 
may be exalted to safety. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, 
so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. He taketh the 
wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried 
headlong. (Job 5:11-13.) Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when 
I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light 
unto me. (Mic. 7:8.) For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; 
and he that bumbleth himself shall be exalted. (Luke 14:11.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. If it please the king, let it be written that they may be de- 
stroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of 
those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's 
treasuries. (Esth. 3:9.) And Mordecai told him of all. that had happened 
unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised 
to pay to the king's treasuries of the Jews, to destroy them. (Esth. 4:7.) 

b. The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of 
the righteous. (Prov. 14:19.) A man that doeth violence to the blood 
of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. (Prov. 28:17.) 

c. The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man 
will pacify it. (Prov. 16:14.) The king's wrath is as the roaring of a 
lion: but his favor is as dew upon the grass. (Prov. 19:12.) 

d. In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the

king, standeth in the house of Ha'man. Then 
the king sand, Hang him thereon. 

10 So they hanged e Ha'man on the gallows 
that he had prepared for Mor'de-cai. Then 
was the king's wrath pacified. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 Mordecai is advanced. 3 Esther maketh 
suit to reverse Hainan's letters. 7 Ahas- 
uerus granteth to the Jews to defend them- 
selves. 

1 "On that May did the king A-has-u-e'rus 
give the house of Ha'man the Jew§' enemy 
unto Es'ther the queen. And Mor'de-cai came 
before the king; for Es'ther had told "what 
he was unto her. 

2 And the king took off 'his ring, which he 
had taken from Ha'man, and gave it unto 
Mor'de-cai. And Es'ther set Mor'de-cai over 
the house of Ha'man. 

3 1i And Es'ther spake yet again before the 
king, and fell down at his feet, and besought 
him with tears to put away the mischief of 
Ha'man the A'gag-ite, and his device that he 
had devised against the Jew§. 

4 Then c the king held out the golden scep- 
tre toward Es'ther. So Es'ther arose, and 
stood before the king, 

5 And said, If it please the king, and if I 
have found favour in his sight, and the thing 
seem right before the king, and I be pleasing 
in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the 
letters devised by Ha'man the son of Ham- 
med'a-tha the A'gag-ite, which he wrote to 
destroy the Jew§ which are in all the king's 
provinces : 

6 For how can I endure to see d the evil 
that shall come unto my people? or how can I 
endure to see the destruction of my kindred? 

7 If Then the king A-has-u-e'rus said unto 
Es'ther the queen and to Mor'de-cai the Jew, 
Behold, I have given Es'ther the house of Ha'- 
man, and him they have hanged upon the 
gallows, because he laid his hand upon the 
Jews. 

8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh 
you, in the king's name, and seal it with the 
king's ring: for the writing which is written 
in the king's name, and sealed with the king's 
ring, f may no man reverse. 

9 Then were the king's scribes called at that 
time in the third month, that is, the month 
SI'van, on the three and twentieth day there- 
of; and it was written according to all that 
Mor'de-cai commanded unto the Jews, and 
to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers 
of the provinces which are from Ind'ia unto

faith and became proselytes, embrac- 
ing Judaism and the true religion. 



Ch. 9. B. C. 509. 



1. Vs. 1-1D detail the two days of 
vengeance, during which the Jews 
killed many of their enemies. Two 
edicts were now before the people — ■ 
one by Haman. ordering the massacre 
of the Jews, and the other by Morde- 
cai. empowering the Jews to take all 
needful measures for self-defense — - 
both of equal authority. 



E-thI-5'pi-a, an hundred twenty and seven 
provinces, unto every province according to 
the writing thereof, and unto every people 
after their language, and to the Jews accord- 
ing to their writing, and according to their 
language. 

10 And he wrote in the king A-has-u-e'rus' 
name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and 
sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders 
on mules, camels, and young dromedaries: 

11 Wherein the king granted the Jews 
which were in every city to gather themselves 
together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, 
to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power 
of the people and province that would assault 
them, both little ones and women, and to take 
the spoil of them for a prey, 

12 Upon one day in all the provinces of 
king A-has-u-e'rus, namely, upon the thir- 
teenth day of the twelfth month, which is the 
month A'dar. 

13 The copy of the writing for a command- 
ment to be given in every province was pub- 
lished unto all people, and that the Jews 
should be ready against that day to avenge 
themselves on their enemies. 

14 So the posts that rode upon mules and 
camels went out, being hastened and pressed 
on by the king's commandment. And the de- 
cree was given at Shu'shan the palace. 

15 f. And Mor'de-cai went out from the pres- 
ence of the king in royal apparel of blue and 
white, and with a great crown of gold, and 
with a garment of fine linen and purple: and 
fthe city of Shu'shan rejoiced and was glad. 

16 The Jews had flight, and gladness, and 
joy, and honour. 

17 And in every province, and in every 
city, whithersoever the king's commandment 
and his decree came, the Jews had joy and 
gladness, a feast and a good day. And many 
of the people of the land •'became Jews; for 
''the fear of the Jews fell upon them. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 The Jews slay their enemies, with the ten 
sons of Haman. 13 Ahasuerus granteth an- 
other day of slaughter, and Haman's sons to 
be hanged. 20 The two days of Purim are 
made festival. 

1 J Now "in the twelfth month, that is, the 
month A'dar, on the thirteenth day of the 
same, when the 6 king's commandment and his 
decree drew near to be put in execution, in 
the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped 
to have power over them, (though it was 



king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, 
were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. And the 
thing was known to Mordecai, be told it unto Esther the queen; and 
Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name. (Esth. 2:21, 22.) 

e. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which 
he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his vio- 
lent dealings shall come down upon his own pate. (Ps. 7:15, 16.) The 
heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made, in the net which 
they hid is their own foot taken. The Lord is known by the judgment 
which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. 
(Ps. 9:15, 16.) I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading 
himself like a green hay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was 
not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. (Ps. 37:35, 36.) But 
when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his 
wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon 
his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gal- 
lows. (Esth. 9:25.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daugh- 
ter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and 
beautiful; whom Mordecai. when her father and mother were dead, took 
for his own daughter. (Esth. 2:7.) 

h. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon 
Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a 
gold chain about his neck. (Gen. 41:42.) But the father said to his 
servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring 
on his hand, and shoes on his feet. (Luke 15:22.) 

c. See ch. 1:11, ch. 5:2. 

d. Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be 
Had, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, 
and the gates thereof are consumed with fire? (Neh. 2:3.) For we are 
sold. I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if 
we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, 



although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage. (Esth. 
7:4.) See ch. 9:1. 

e. If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from 
him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the 
Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king 
Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that 
is better than she. (Esth. 1:19:) Now, O king, establish the decree, 
and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the 
Medes and Persians, which altereth not. (Dan. 6:8.) 

f. The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment: 
and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and 
Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed. (Esth. 
3:15.) Thou hast turned for me my morning into dancing: thou hast 
put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness. (Ps. 30:11.) He 
that rebuketh a man afterward shall find more favor than he that 
flattereth with the tongue. (Prbv. 28:23.) When the righteous are in 
authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the 
people mourn. (Prov. 29:2.) 

g. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in 
heart. (Ps. 97:11.) Unto the upright there ariseth light in the dark- 
ness. (Ps. 112:4.) 

h. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine 
arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, 
till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. (Ex. 15:16.) There 
shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall 
lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye 
shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. (Dt. H:25.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. See ch. 8:12. 

h. And the letters were sent by post into all the king's provinces, 
to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and 
old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth 
day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the 
spoil of them for a prey. (Esth. 3:13.) 



Ch. 9 

turned ^to the contrary, that the Jews had 
rule over them that hated them;) 

2 The Jew§ gathered themselves together in 
their cities throughout all the provinces of 
the king A-ha§-u-e'rus, to lay hand on such 
as sought their hurt: and no man could with- 
stand them; for the fear of 3 them fell upon 
all people. 

3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and 
the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers 
of the king, helped the Jew§; because the fear 
of Mor'de-cai fell upon them. 

4 For Mor'de-cai was great in the king's 
house, and his fame went out throughout all 
the provinces: for this man Mor'de-cai c waxed 
greater and greater. 

5 Thus the Jews, smote all their enemies 
with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, 
and destruction, and did what they 4 would 
unto those that hated them. 

6 And in Shu'shan the palace the Jews, 
slew and destroyed five hundred men. 

7 And Par-shan'da-tha, and Dal'phon, and 
As'pa-tha, 

8 And Por'a-tha, and Ad-a-li'a, and A-rid'- 
a-tha, 

9 And Par-mash'ta, and A-ris'a-I, and 
A-rid'a-I, and Va-jez'a-tha, 

10 The d ten sons of Ha'man the son of 
Ham-med'a-tha, the enemy of the Jew§, slew 
they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand. 

11 On that day the number of those that 
were slain in Shu'shan the palace was brought 
before the king. 

12 11 And the king said unto Es'ther the 
queen, The Jew§ have slain and destroyed five 
hundred men in Shu'shan the palace, and the 
ten sons of Ha'man; what have they done 
in the rest of the king's provinces? now what 
is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: 
or what is thy request further? and it shall 
be done. 

13 Then said Es'ther, If it please the king, 
let it be granted 'to the Jew§ which are in 
Shu'shan to do to morrow also according unto 
6 this day's decree, and let Ha'man's ten sons 
6 be hanged upon the gallows. 

14 And the king commanded it so to be 
done: and the decree was given at Shu'shan; 
and they hanged Ha'man's ten sons. 

15 For the Jew§ that were in Shu'shan 
gathered themselves together on the fourteenth 
day also of the month A'dar, and slew three 
hundred men at Shu'shan; but on the prey 
they laid not their hand. 

16 But the other Jews, that were in the 
king's provinces gathered themselves together, 
and stood for their lives, and had rest from 
their enemies, and slew of their foes 'seventy 
and five thousand, but they laid not their 
hands on the prey, 

17 On the thirteenth day of the month 
A'dar; and on the fourteenth day of the same 
rested they, and made it a day of feasting 
and gladness- 

18 But the Jews that were at Shu'shan as-

2. Thus, as it will ever be, the 
providence of God overturns and 
brings to naught the counsels of the 
wicked. 



3. A general feeling of terror 
spread among the people upon seeing 
that the Jews were the special favor- 
ites of Jehovah. 



4. That is, carry their work of re- 
taliation to any length they desired. 
It is to the credit of the Jews, that 
nowhere is_it found that they began 
the work of destruction. 



5. That is, the decree of this day 
was "Stand for thy life." 



6. They had already been slain 
(v. 10) but — as was frequently cus- 
tomary — Esther would have their dead 
bodies hanged and exposed to public 
derision. 



7. This great slaughter appears to 
have been the result of a carefully 
prepared attack on the Jews by their 
adversaries which was overruled by 
divine providence. 



8. Vs. 20-32 detail the feast of 
Purim, held to commemorate this 
great deliverance of the Jews. 



sembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, 
and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the 
fifteenth day of the same they rested, and 
made it a day of feasting and gladness. 

19 Therefore the Jews, of the villages, that 
dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the four- 
teenth day of the month A'dar c a day of glad- 
ness and feasting, and a good day, and of 
sending portions one to another. 

20 1f 5 And Mor'de-cai wrote these things, and 
sent letters unto all the Jews, that were in all 
the provinces of the king A-ha§-u-e'rus, both 
nigh and far, 

21 To stablish this among them, that they 
should keep the fourteenth day of the month 
A'dar, and the fifteenth day of the same, 
yearly, 

22 As the days wherein the Jews, rested 
from their enemies, and the month which was 
turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from 
mourning into a good day: that they should 
make them days of feasting and joy, and of 
'sending portions one to another, and gifts to 
the poor. 

23 And the Jews, undertook to do as they 
had begun, and as Mor'de-cai had written unto 
them; 

24 Because Ha'man the son of Ham-med'a- 
tha, the A'gag-Ite, the enemy of all the Jew§, 
"had devised against the Jews? to destroy them, 
and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume 
them, and to destroy them; 

25 But when Es'ther came before the king, 
he commanded by letters that his wicked de- 
vice, which he devised against the Jew§, should 
return upon his own head, and that he and 
his sons should be hanged on the gallows. 

26 Wherefore they called these days Pu'- 
rim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all 
the words of this letter, and of that which 
they had seen concerning this matter, and 
which had come unto them, 

27 The Jews? ordained, and took upon them, 
and upon their seed, and upon all such as 
joined themselves unto them, so as it should 
not fail, that they would keep these two days 
according to their writing, and according to 
their appointed time every year; 

28 And that these days should be remem- 
bered and kept throughout every generation, 
every family, every province, and every city; 
and that these days of Pu'rim should not fail 
from among the Jew§, nor the memorial of 
them perish from their seed. 

29 Then Es'ther the queen, the daughter of 
Ab-i-ha'il, and Mor'de-cai the Jew, wrote with 
''all authority, to confirm this second letter of 
Pu'rim. 

30 And he sent the letters unto all the 
Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven prov- 
inces of the kingdom of A-ha§-u-e'rus, with 
words of peace and truth, 

31 To confirm these days of Pu'rim in their 
times appointed, according as Mor'de-cai the 
Jew and Es'ther the queen had enjoined them, 
and as they had decreed for themselves and 



c. So David waxed greater and greater: for the Lord of hosts 
was with him. (I Cbr. 11:9.) 'And he shall be like a tree planted by the 
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf 
also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:3.) 
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man 
is peace (37). And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he 
shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust 
in him. (Ps. 37:37, 40.) But the path of the just is as a shining light, 
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. (Prov. 4:18.) Now 
there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: 
but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed 
weaker and weaker. (II Sam. 3:1.) 

d. He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor 
any remaining in his dwellings. (Job 18:19.) This is the portion of a 
wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they 
shall receive of the Almighty. If his children be multiplied, it is for 
the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. Those 
that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not 
weep. (Job 27:13-15.) Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, 
and their seed from among the children of men. (Ps. 21:10.) 

e. And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy 



son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and 
the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the father- 
less, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the Lord 
thy God hath chosen to place his name there (11). And thou shalt 
rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man- 
servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the 
fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. (Dt. 16:11, 14.) 

f. So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, 
for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. And all the people went 
their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make 
great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared 
unto them. (Neh. 8:11, 12.) 

g. And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they 
had shown him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to 
destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahas- 
uerus, even the people of Mordecai. (Esth. 3:6.) 

h. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall 
there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; 
but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth 
whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (Esth.

THE 



BOOK OF JOB 



NOTE. — In this book, named from its hero, is presented a new class of scriptural writings, viz., a sacred drama — the prologue, chs. 1, 2; the dialogue, 
chs. 3-41; the epilogue, eh. 42. Its subject is human life; its voice, the voice of the sons of God; its purpose, a vindication of the moral government of God 
in its relations to man. It treats of sin and evil concretely, laying before us its unfolding through the actual experiences of a man known in heaven, 
earth and hell for his piety. Its ever present question is. wherefore is evil? A question among the first to present itself and the last to leave the mind. 
In it we step outside of the Israelitish fold and study the life of man in the abstract, whose thoughts, experiences and trials are representative in their char- 
acter and have always been the common heritage of mankind. 

It is the experience book of humanity, which no one can read without his sympathy being stirred to the depths. The conception of the book is simple 
and godlike — it is to speak to man — through man's experiences, the 'greatest imaginable sufferings of a righteous man, being the lesson leaf from which are 
drawn the deeper principles of divine government. The consideration of the afflictions of the righteous carries with it that veiled and impenetrable mystery 
— the prosperity of the wicked. The author, with the boldness of inspiration, looks deep into the excrescences of evil — the suffering of the righteous and 
the prosperity of the wicked — and shows that they are in harmony with a perfect regime of righteousness, wisdom and love. Here the human heart 
passes under the surgeon's knife and is laid bare as nowhere else in the scriptures. 

With a shudder like Dante, as he emerges from the depths of his own imagination, the triumphant Job. penitent in ashes, and clinging to God 
through incorruptiole integrity, comes forth from the seething fires of passion, doubt, and suffering with a firmer faith in Jehovah. As to the historic 
reality of Job there is none now to dispute, though there was a time when some critics claimed it to be a fabrication, merely a myth, but they failed in their 
attempt to prove it such. Their argument fell of its own disintegration. All history, even with their approval, acknowledged the historical reality and 
actual existence of Noah and Daniel; and in Ez. 14:14 is found "Though th('se three men. Noah. Daniel and Job. were in it. they should deliver but 
their own souls by their righto. usin-s*. saith the Lord God." To thus associate Job, if he had been only fictitious, with men who had a real existence, 
as Noah and Daniel, would be extremely unnatural. Job was a man of actual existence and many bitter experiences. By some authorities he is given as the 
author of this book; others claim that Moses is. while a third class are unable to decide. 

The Book of Job has ever been considered one of the most sublime of the Bible narratives, and is surpassed only by some of the striking passages of 
Isaiah, and by the prayer of Habakkuk. In the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Gibbons, the historian, says, in comparing the Koran with the Book of 
Job. "His lofty strains must yield to the sublime simplicity of the Book of Job. composed in a remote age. in the same country and in the same language." 
However. Mr. Gibbons is mistaken, inasmuch as the Koran was written in Arabic and Job was written in Hebrew. Carlyle says, "A noble book! All 
men's book! Such living likenesses were never since drawn. Sublime sorrow, sublime reconciliation; oldest choral melody, as of the heart of mankind; as 
soft and great as the summer midnight, as the world with its suns and stars. There is nothing written, I think, of equal literary merit." 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The holiness, riches, and religious care of 
Job for his children. 6 Satan, appearing 
before God, by calumniation obtaineth leave 
to tempt Job. 13 Understanding of the loss 
of his goods and children, in his mourning 
he blesseth God. 

1 There was a 'man in the land of Uz, whose 
name was "Job; and that man was "perfect 
and "upright, and one that feared ''God, and 
4 eschewed evil. 

2 And there were born unto him seven sons 
and three daughters. 

3 His substance also was seven thousand 
sheep, and three thousand camels, and five 
hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she 
asses, and a very great household; so that this 
man was the greatest of all the men of the 
east. 

4 And his sons- went and feasted in their 
houses, every one his day; and sent and called 
for their three sisters to eat and to drink with 
them. 

5 And it was so, when the days of their 
feasting were gone about, that Job sent and 
'sanctified them, and rose up early in the 
morning, and °offered burnt "offerings accord- 
ing to the number of them all: for Job said, 
It may be that my sons have sinned, and 
7 cursed d God in their hearts. Thus did J5b 
continually.

1. These very first words pointing 
to Job as bearing the noble title of 

"a man," in contradistinction to 
"mean man." lay the historical basis 
for the entire book. (Is. 2:0) — "And 
the mean man boweth down, and the 
great man humbleth himself: there- 
fore forgive them not." (Is. 5:15) — 
"And the mean man shall be brought 
down, and the mighty man shall be 
humbled, and eyes of the lofty shall 
be humbled."

of God came to present themselves before the 
"Lord, and Sa'tan came also '"among them. 

7 And the "Lord said unto Sa'tan, Whence 
comest thou? Then Sa'tan answered the 
''Lord; and said, From going to and fro in 
the earth, and from walking up and down 
in it. 

8 And the "Lord said unto Sa'tan, Hast thou 
considered my servant 2 Job, that there is 
none like him in the earth, a perfect a and an 
'upright man, one that & feareth God, and 4 es- 
cheweth evil? 

9 Then Sa'tan answered the "Lord, and 
said, Doth Job 6 fear "God for "nought? 

10 Hast not thou ''made an hedge about him, 
and about his house, and about all that he 
hath on every side? thou hast 10 blessed ''the 
work of his hands, and his substance is in- 
creased in the land. 

11 But put forth thine hand now, and 
touch 17 all that he hath, and he will curse 
"thee to thy face. 

12 And the "Lord said unto Sa'tan, Behold, 
all that he hath is in thy "power; only upon 
himself put not forth thine hand. So Sa'tan 
went 20 forth from the presence of the "Lord. 

13 1 21 And there was a day »when his sons 
and his daughters were eating and drinking 
wine in their eldest brother's house: 

14 And there came a messenger unto J5b, 
and said, The oxen were plowing, and the 
asses feeding beside them: 



11. The creating, self-existing I 
AM. 

12. An expression savoring of in- 
trusion, an unexpectedness of appear- 
ance, an effrontery on the part of 
Satan; and God's immediate atten- 
tion directed thereto, marks the ir- 
reconcilable antagonism and distinc- 
tion between good and evil. 

13. Jehovah, the personal name of 
God. expressive of his inner self; the 



self-existing and covenant-keeping 
name of God. 

14. Four terms of description are 
here used of Job — "Perfect and up- 
right, feareth God, and escheweth 
evil." Satan selects the most assail- 
able, i. e.. fear, the one to which even 
Satanic nature might lay some claim. 

15. Without good reason. the 
sounding of the problem of the Book 
of Job. 

16. Thus Satan even acknowledges 



Ref. Job. Chapter 1. 

a. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah 
walked with God. (Gen. 6:9.) The Lord appeared to Abram, and said 
unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect. 
(Gen. 17:1.) And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from 
them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall 
give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 
(Dt. 18:3.) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which, is 
in heaven is perfect. (Mat. 5:48.) 

b. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. (Prov. 8:13.) And by 
the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) Fear not: 
for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your 
faces, that ye sin not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the be- 
ginning of wisdom. (Ps. 111:10.) Fear God, and keep his command- 
ments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) That all the 
people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: 
that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever. (Josh. 4:24.) 

c. For the law of the burnt offering see Lev. ch. 1. 

d. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, 
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things 
which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 
(Mat. 15:19, 20.) And God saw that the wickedness of man was great 



that God's benediction is the source 
of good. 

17. Satan again acknowledges the 
all-power of God; he has but to put 
forth his hand and all things will 
blossom or wither. 

18. Renounce thee and condemn 
thee. 

19. That is. in thy hands all virtue 
is now to be put to the supreme test. 
In v. 8, Jehovah had declared Job 
to be the best man in the world; in 



v. 9. Satan claimed he was such only 
because of selfishness. Now if Satan 
could succeed in proving Job to be 
insincere, there would be no real sub- 
stantial good in the world, and virtue 
for virtue's sake unknown. 

20. Not resume his roaming "to 
and fro." but to destroy virtue. 

21. Vs. 13-19 detail the messen- 
gers of misfortune, one for each of 
the four graces (v. 8) which Jehovah 
had declared Job to possess. 



I in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart 
was only evil continually. (Gen. 6:5.) Frowardness is in his heart, 
he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. (Prov. 6:14.) The 

| heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who «an 
know it? (Jer. 17:9.) For from within, out of the heart of men, pro- 
ceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders. (Mk. 7:21.) 

e. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear 
him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) O that I were as in months 
past, as in the days when God preserved me; When his candle shined 
upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; As I 
was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my 
tabernacle; When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children 
were about me; When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock 
poured me out rivers of oil. (Job 29:2-6.) 

f. Blessed is every one that heareth the Lord; that walketh in his 
ways. (Ps. 128:1.) The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and 
he addeth no sorrow with it. (Prov. 10:22.) For bodily exercise 
profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise 
of the light that now is, and of that which is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

g. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken 
in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the 
sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon 
them. (Ecc. 9:12.)

JOB 



Ch. 3 B. C. 1520 



15 And the Sa-be'ans fell upon them, and 
took them away; yea, they have slain the serv- 
ants with the edge of the sword; and I "only 
am escaped alone to tell thee. 

16 While he was yet speaking, there came 
also another, and said, The fire of ^God is 
fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the 
sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; 
and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 

17 While he was yet speaking, there came 
also another, and said, The 24 Chal-de'ans made 
out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and 
have carried them away, yea, and slain the 
servants with the edge of the sword; and I 
only am escaped alone to tell thee. 

18 While he was yet speaking, there came 
also another, and said, Thy sons and thy 
daughters were eating and drinking ^wine in 
their eldest brother's house: 

19 And, behold, there came a great wind 
from the 20 wildemess, and smote the four cor- 
ners of the house, and it fell upon the young 
men, and they "are dead; and I only am es- 
caped alone to tell thee. 

'20 K Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, 
and shaved his head, and ''fell down upon the 
ground, and worshipped, 

21 And said, Naked came I out of my 
mother's womb, and naked shall I return 
thither: the "Lord 'gave, and the "Lord hath 
J taken away; blessed be the name of the ^Lord. 

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged 
God foolishly. 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 Satan obtaineth further leave to tempt Job. 
7 He smiteth him with sore boils. 9 Job 
reproveth his wife, moving him to curse 
God. 11 His three friends condole with him 
in silence. 

1 a Again "there was a day when the sons "of 
God came to present themselves before the 
Lord, and Sa'tan came also among them to 
present himself before the Lord. 

2 And the 3 Lord said 6 unto Sa'tan, From 
whence comest thou? And Sa'tan '"answered 
the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in 
the earth, and from walking up and down 
in it. 

3 And the 3 Lord said unto Sa'tan, Hast thou 
considered my servant J5b, that there is none 
like him in the earth, d a perfect and an 'up- 
right man, one that feareth c God, and 5 es- 
cheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his 
integrity, although thou "movedst me against 
him, to destroy him without cause. 

4 And Sa'tan answered the 3 Lord, and said, 
Skin 7 for skin, yea, all that a man hath will 
he give for his life. 



22. It is to be observed that each 
of the messengers of calamity closed 
his message in the same manner, 
which was perhaps a plan of Satan 
to impress Job, if possible, with the 
fact that his punishments were divine 
judgments. 

23. Lightning. 

24. One of the Cushite tribes in- 
habiting Chaldea. 

25. Drinking wine, thus suggesting 
to the pious Job that his children 
were unprepared for death, thereby 
adding weight to his already over- 
powering sorrow. 

26. From beyond the wilderness, 
the Great Arabian Desert. 

27. A gradual increase of evils, 
until the climax was reached in death 
to the unprepared. 

28. Vs. 20-22, over all, Job rises 
triumphant. 

29. Three times in this verse Job 
uses Jehovah, the personal name of 
God, expressive of his self-existing 
character, thus triumphantly acknowl- 
edging the essence of the God-head. 

Ch. 2. B. C. 1520. 

1. In vs. 1-10, the fifth and sixth 
temptations. So far Satan- had been 
unable to tempt Job sufficiently to 
cause him to curse God, which he 
had claimed Job would do; therefore 
in this ch. Satan comes again with 
the sons of God and requests another 
series of trials, through which he may 
put Job, claiming as before that this 
time he will renounce Jehovah. Again 
he is given permission, God only de- 
manding that Job's life will be 
spared. 

2. Angels. 

3. Jehovah, the personal name of 
God, expressive of his inner charac- 
ter; i. e., the self-existing and cov- 
enant-keeping name of God. 

4. That is, positive, in contrast 
with negative sincerity and innocence 
of heart. 

5. To turn off, to leave undone, to 
be without. 

6. The devices of Satan are tol- 
erated in the divine plan to test true 
virtue. 

7. Satan here insinuates that as 
long as Jehovah touches not the life, 
or body of Job, he has not been truly 
tried, but the instant his own life 
is jeopardized, then he will curse him 
at once. 

8. Burning ulceration, resembling 
the black leprosy, and is regarded as 
the most foul, painful and incurable 
of diseases. According to W. Seholtz, 
"It begins beneath the knee with tu- 
bercular boils, which in time resemble 
a cancer, and thence spread over the 
entire body. In its slow and destruc- 
tive course all the members of the 
body — fingers, toes, hands, feet — 
gradually decay and fall off." 

9. Potsherd, old English for frag- 
ment. 

10. That is, the spot outside the 
city where the filth was burned; an 
oriental act of great distress. 

11. As Satan has successfully em- 
ployed woman for the ruin of man in 
Paradise, he now makes the attempt 
upon Job in the same manner. 



5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch 
his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee 
to thy face. 

6 And the 3 Lord said unto Sa'tan, Behold, 
he is in thine hand; but save his life. 

7 If So went Sa'tan forth from the presence 
of the 3 Lord, and smote J5b with sore s boils 
from the sole of his foot unto his crown. 

8 And he took him a J potsherd to scrape him- 
self withal; and he sat down among the 
"ashes. 

9 If Then said fhis "wife unto him, #Dost 
thou still retain thine integrity? curse 12 God, 
and die. 

10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as 
one of the foolish women speaketh. What? 
shall we receive good at the hand of God, and 
shall we not receive evil? In all this did not 
Job ''sin with his lips. 

11 If 13 Now when Job's three friends heard 
of all this evil that was come upon him, they 
came every one from his own place; El'i- 
phaz the Te'man-ite, and Bil'dad the Shu'- 
hite, and ZS'phar the Na'a-math-ite: for they 
had made an appointment "together to come 
to mourn with him and to comfort him. 

12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar 
off, and knew him not, they lifted up their 
voice, and wept; and they rent every one his 
mantle, and 'sprinkled dust upon their heads 
toward heaven. 

13 So they sat down with him upon the 
ground ^seven days and seven nights, and none 
spake a word unto him: for they saw that his 
grief was very great. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 Job curseth the day and services of his 
birth. 13 The ease of death. 20 He com- 
plaineth of life, because of his anguish. 

1 J After 2 this opened Job his mouth, and 
cursed his day. 

2 And Job spake, and said, 

3 3 Let the day "perish wherein I was born, 
and the night in which it was said, There is 
a man child conceived. 

4 Let that day be darkness; let not God re- 
gard it from above, neither let light shine 
upon it. 

5. Let darkness and Hhe shadow of death 
stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let °the 
blackness of the day terrify it. 

6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon 
it; let it not be joined unto the days of the 
year, let it not come into the number of the 
months. 

7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joy- 
ful voice come therein. 

8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who 
are ready to raise up their mourning. 



12. Job's wife here uses the very 
words that Satan had predicted Job. 
would use; she tells him to curse 
(i. e.. renounce) God and die. 

13. Vs. 11-13, the visit of the 
three friends to comfort him. 



14. It is still the practice among 
the Arabs, that when a special ca- 
lamity befalls a family, the relatives 
and friends hasten to console them. 

15. The orientals mourn with the 
unfortunate seven days. (Gen. 50:10) 



— "And .they came to the thrashing 
floor of Atad. which is beyond Jordan, 
and there they mourned with a great 
and very sore lamentation; and he 
made a mourning for his father seven 
days." 



Ch. 3. B. C, 1520. 

1. This ch. has been called "the 
lamentations of Job." 

2. The events of last ch. 

3. Vs. 3-10. Job curses his birth 
and very existence. 



h. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand o£ God, 
that he may exalt you in due time. (I Pet. 5:6.) 

i. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comelh 
down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither 
shadow of turning. (Js. 1:17.) 

j. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? is 
thine eye evil, because I am good? (Mat. 20:15.)

a. See ch. 1:6-8. 

b. See ch. 1:8. 

c. See ch. 1:9.

f. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and 
that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one 
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her 
husband with her; and he did eat. (Gen. 3:6.) 

g. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what 

• \ we have, if we pray unto him? (Job 21:15.) 
h. I will lake heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: 
I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 
(P . 39:1.) Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when 



he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath 
promised to them that love him. (Js. 1:12.) In all this Job sinned not, 
nor charged God foolishly. (Job 1:22.) 

i. And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall 
cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow 
themselves in the ashes. (Bzek. 27:30.) And Joshua rent his clothes, 
and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until 
the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust . upon their 
heads. (Josh. 7:6.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein 
my mother bare me be blessed. (Jer. 20:14.) 

b. Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and 
covered us with the shadow of death. (Ps. 44:19.) Seek him that 
maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into 
the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the 
waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth. 
(Amos 5:8.) 

c. And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs 
into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and 
baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an 
only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. (Amos 8:10.)

9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be 
dark; let it look for light, but have none; 
neither let it see the dawning of the day: 

10 Because it shut not up the doors of my 
mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine 
eyes. 

11 4 Why died I not from the womb? why 
did I not give up the ghost when I came out 
of the belly? 

12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why 
the breasts that I should suck? 

13 For now should I have lain still and 
been quiet, and I should have slept: then had 
I been at rest, 

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, 
which built desolate places for themselves; 

15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled 
their houses with silver: 

16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had 
not been; as infants which never saw light. 

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; 
and there the weary be at rest. 

18 There the prisoners rest together; they 
hear not the voice of the oppressor. 

19 The small and great are there; and the 
servant is free from his master. 

20 Wherefore is light given to him that is 
in misery, and life unto the d bitter in soul; 

21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; 
and dig for it more than for hid treasures; 

22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, 
when they can find the grave? 

23 Why is light given to a man whose way 
is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? 

24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and 
my roarings are poured out like the waters. 

25 For the thing which I greatly feared is 
come upon me, and that which I was afraid 
of is come unto me. 

26 I was not in safety, 'neither had I rest, 
neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Eliphaz reproveth Job for want of religion. 
7 He teacheth God's judgments to be not 
for the righteous, but for the wicked. 

1 J Then El'i-phaz the Te'man-ite answered 
and said, 

2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt 
thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself 
from speaking? 

3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and 
thou hast strengthened the weak hands. 

4 Thy words have upholden him that was 
falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble 
knees. 

5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou 
faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troub- 
led. 

6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy 
hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? 

7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever per- 
ished, being innocent? or where were the right- 
eous cut off? 



4. Vs. 11-19, Job curses his life 
in lour phases. 



■ 5. Trouble came upon trouble with- 
out any intermission between them. 



Ch. 4. B. C. 1520. 



1. Vs. 2-11. the first proposition- 
misery implies guilt. 



2. That is, no reliance; does not 
put his trust or dependence in them. 



Bluster, braggadocio. 



Ch. 5. B. C. 1520. 



1. Vs. 1-5 proclaim the folly of 
murmuring. Eliphaz advances the 
idea that Job. in his present mood, 
need expect no help from anyone. 



2. Passionate sorrow or grief. 
Eliphaz, using the word for, intimates 
that men reap what they cow. 



3. That is. evil or iniquity grow- 
cth not like a weed, but is a divine 
appointment on account of sin. 



4. Vs. 1-11, the moral government 
of God. 



5. Therefore as affliction is or- 
dered by God on account of sin. I 
would have you seek God for relief. 



8 Even as I have seen, "they that plow in- 
iquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. 

9 By the blast of God they perish, and by 
the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. 

10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice 
of the fierce lion, and 6 the teeth of the young- 
lions, are broken. 

11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, 
and the stout lion's whelps are scattered 
abroad. 

12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, 
and mine ear received a little thereof. 

13 c In thoughts from the visions of the 
night, when deep sleep falleth on men, 

14° Fear came upon me, and trembling, 
which made all my bones to shake. 

15 Then d a spirit passed before my face; 
the hair of my flesh stood up: 

16 It stood still, but I could not discern the 
form thereof: an image was before mine 
eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, 
saying, 

17 Shall mortal man be more just than 
God? shall a man be more pure than his 
maker? 

18 Behold, he c put no 2 trust in his servants; 
and his angels he ''charged with folly: 

19 How much less in them that dwell in 
houses of clay, whose foundation is in the 
dust, which are crushed before the moth? 

20 They are destroyed from morning to eve- 
ning: they perish for ever without any re- 
garding it. 

21 Doth not their excellency which is in 
them go away? they die, even without wis- 
dom. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 The harm of inconsideration. 3 The end 
of the wicked is misery. 6 God is to be 
regarded in affliction. 17 The happy end 
of God's correction. 

1 Call now, if there be *any that will an- 
swer thee; and to which of the saints wilt 
thou turn? 

2 For wrath 2 killeth the "foolish man, and 
envy slayeth the silly one. 

3 I have seen the ^foolish taking root: but 
suddenly I cursed his habitation. 

4 His children are far from safety, and 
they are crushed in the gate, neither is there 
any to deliver them. 

5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and 
taketh it even out of the thorns, and the roo- 
ber swalloweth up their substance. 

6 Although affliction 3 cometh not forth of 
the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of 
the ground; 

7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the 
sparks fly upward. 

8 *I would "seek 5 unto God, and unto God 
would I commit my cause: 



d. Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the 
anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. 
(Job 7:11.) My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint 
upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. (Job 10:1.) And 
another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with 
pleasure. (Job 21:25.) And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed 
unto the Lord and wept sore. (I Sam. 1:10.) Give strong drink unto 
him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy 
hearts. (Prov. 31:6.) I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of 
my soul. (Is. 38:15.) And they shall weep for thee with bitterness 
of heart and bitter wailing. (Bzek. 27:31.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mis- 
chief, and brought forth falsehood. (Ps. 7:14.) He that soweth iniquity 
shall reap vanity. (Prov. 22:8.) 

b. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great 
teeth of the young lions, O Lord. (Ps. 58:6.) 

c. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth 
upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of 
men, and sealeth their instruction. (Job 33:15, 16.) 

d. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for 
them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) 

e. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them 
down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved 
unto judgment. (II Pet. 2:4.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness 



of the bones. (Prov. 14:30.) Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be 
thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long. (Prov. 23:17.) Wrath is 
cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? 
(Prov. 27:4.) Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do 
according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast 
used out of thine hatred against them. (Ezek. 35:11.) But if ye have 
bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against 
the truth (14). For where envying and- strife is, there is confusion and 
every evil work. (Js. 3:14, 16.) Charity suffereth long, and is kind: 
charity envieth not. (I Cor. 13:4.) 

b. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself 
like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, Io, he was not: yea, 
I sought him, but he could not be found. (Ps. 37:35, 36.) For I was 
envious at the foolish, when .1 saw the prosperity of the wicked. (Ps. 
73:3.) The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked. (Prov. 
3:33.) Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me 
talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked 
prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, 
they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from 
their reins. But thou, O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and 
tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, 
and prepare them for the day of slaughter. (Jer. 12:1-3.) 

c. I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all 
my fears. (Ps. 34:4.) And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will 
deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 50:15.) He shall call

10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and

11 To set up on high those that be low; 
that those which mourn may be exalted to

12 'He disappointeth the devices of the 
T crafty, so that their hands cannot perform

13 He taketh the s wise in their own crafti-

17 'Behold, 1: happy d is the man whom God 
correcteth: therefore despise not thou the 
chastening of the Almighty: 

18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he 
woundeth, and his hands make whole. 

19 '-'He shall deliver thee in six troubles: 
yea, in "seven f'there shall no evil touch thee. 

20 In famine he shall redeem thee from 
death: and in war from the power of the 
sword. 

21 Thou ^shalt be hid from the scourge of 
the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of 
destruction when it cometh. 

22 At destruction and famine thou shalt 
laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the 
beasts of the earth. 

23 For thou shalt be in league with the 
stones ''of the field: and the beasts of the field 
shall be at peace with thee. 

24 And thou shalt know that thy taber- 
nacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit 
thy habitation, and shalt not sin. 

25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall 
be great, and thine offspring as the grass of 
the earth. 

26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full 
age, like as a "shock of com cometh in in his 
season. 

27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; 
hear it, and know thou it for thy "good. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Job sheweth that his complaints are not 
causeless. 8 He ivisheth for death, wherein 
he is assured of comfort. 14 He reproveth 
his friends of unkindness. 

1 J But Job answered and said, 

2 = Oh that my grief were throughly 
weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances 
together ! 

3 For now it would be heavier than the 
sand of the sea : therefore my words are swal- 
lowed up. 

4 For the 3 arrows a of the Almighty are 
within me, the poison whereof drinketh up 



6. Vs. 12-16. human arrogance and 
wisdom, God overturns and brings to 
shame. 

7. Cunning, evU-minded. 

S. That is. those whose "wisdom 
is of this world." (I Cor. 3:19) — "For 
the wisdom of this world is foolish- 
ness with God. for it is written. He 
taketh the wise in their own crafti- 
ness." 

9. Crooked or cunning. 

10. Eliphaz here declares the spe- 
cial protection of the poor in contrast 
with Job's riches. 

11. Blessed is the man. The same 
as one of the beatitudes. It also ap- 
pears in Ps. 94; Prov. 3; Heb. 12. 

12. Vs. 17-26, the blessings of the 
man whom God correcteth. 

13. That is. in all troubles, as 
seven is the Bible number of perfec- 
tion or completeness. 

14. Like a shock of corn going in 
fullness to the thrashing floor. 

15. For thyself. Throughout his 
address Eliphaz suggests to Job that 
he is in the hands of a righteous God 
— let him suffer. 

Ch. 6. B. C. 1520. 

1. Job's first reply is recorded in 
chs.- 6 and 7. In ch. 6 he makes a 
touching appeal to man; in ch. 7 he 
appeals with all the fervor of a sor- 
row-stricken heart to God. Ewald 
calls this reply "the monologue of 
despair." For a while he defends 
his lamentation in ch. 3 — then finally 
admits he has spoken imprudently. 
In his appeal to God. he pleads the 
vanity of life, the certainty of death 
and his own littleness, as reasons for 
his asking for relief from the judg- 
ments of the divine visitations now 
upon him. Eliphaz suggests prema- 
ture death as the punishment of the 
wicked, while Job declares death to 
be his hope. 

2. Vs. 2-10. Job justifies his lam- 
entations and maintains his grief 
cannot be weighed. 

3. Calamities. (Dt. 32:23) — "I will 
heap mischief upon them; I wiU spend 
my arrows upon them." 

4. The effects of the divine judg- 
ment upon him are similar to the poi- 
sonous arrows of man. 

5. As insipid food demands sea- 
soning or condiment, so calamity jus- 
tifies complaint. 

6. As though all understood what 
the desire of his heart was. 

7. To God belongs the giving and 
taking of life. "Thou shalt not kill" 
includes self-destruction. With all 
his longing for death. Job never once 
intimates a thought of taking his own 
life. 

S. A positive assertion in the be- 
lief of a future life. 

9. Vs. 11-20, Job discourses on the 
deceitfulness of human friendship. 

10. In vs. 14-17. Job declares the 
withholding of sympathy to be Uke 
the failure of a summer brook. 

11. To the despairing, the true 
friend showeth pity; hence, as their 
friendship has consisted merely of 
words and ceremony, they are not 
true friends. 

12. "He who withholds mercy 
from his neighbor, forsakes the fear 
of God." 

13. Vs. 1S-20, Job pictures the 
perishing of a wandering caravan 
hunting water. 

14. Put to shame. 

15. The ninth of the sons of Ish- 
mael (Gen. 25:15). 

16. Like the streams the starving 
caravan looked for. 

17. He had asked nothing at their 
hand. 

IS. If they believed he was really 
guilty, teach him his wrong. 

19. My cause is a righteous one. 



my spirit: the *terrors of God do set them- 
selves in array against me. 

5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath 
grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? 

6 Can that which is "unsavoury be eaten 
without salt?, or is there any taste in the white 
of an egg? 

7 The things that my soul refused to touch 
are as my sorrowful meat. 

8 Oh that I might have 'iny request; and 
that God would grant me the thing that I long 
for! 

9 Even that it would 7 please God to destroy 
me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut 
me off! 

10 Then should I yet have s comfort; yea, I 
would harden myself in sorrow: let him not 
spare; for I have not concealed the words of 
the Holy One. 

11 What is my strength, that I should 
hope? and what is mine end, that I should 
prolong my life? 

12 Is my strength the strength of stones? 
or is my flesh of brass? 

13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom 
driven quite from me? 

14 "To him :: that is afflicted pity should be 
shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh "the 
fear of the Almighty. 

15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a 
brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass 
away; 

16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, 
and wherein the snow is hid: 

17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: 
when it is hot, they are consumed out of their 
place. 

18 "The paths of their way are turned 
aside; they go to nothing, and perish. 

19 The troops of "Te'ma looked, the com- 
panies of She'ba waited for them. 

20 They were "confounded because they had 
hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed. 

21 For now ye are "nothing; ye see 'any 
casting down, and are afraid. 

22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a 
reward for me of your substance? 

23 Or, 17 Deliver me from the enemy's hand? 
or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? 

24 Teach ""me, and I will c hoid my tongue: 
and cause me to understand wherein I have 
erred. 

25 How forcible are right words! but what 
doth your arguing reprove? 

26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the 
speeches of one that is desperate, which are 
as wind? 

27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye 
dig a pit for your friend. 

28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; 
for it is evident unto you if I lie. 

29 Return, I pra3 T you, let it not be iniquity; 
yea, return again, my "'righteousness is in it. 

30 Is there iniquity d in my tongue? cannot 
f my taste discern perverse things? 



upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will 
deliver him, and honor him. (Ps. 91:15.) Ask, and it shall be given 
vou; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 
(Mat. 7:7.) 

d. Before I was afflicted I ■(vent astray: but now have I kept thy 
word (67). It is good for me that I have been afflicted: that I might 
learn thy statutes. (Ps. 119:67, 71.) My son, despise not the chastening 
of the Lord: neither be weary of his correction: For whom the Lord 
loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 
(Prov. 3:11, 12.) My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, 
nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth 
he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (Heb. 
12:5, 6.) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. (Rev. 3:1S.) 

e. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth 
him out of them all. (Ps. 34:19.) 

f. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall anv plague come 
nigh thy dwelling. (Ps. 91:10.) 

g. Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the 
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the 
strife of tongues. (Ps. 31:20.) Come, and let us devise devices against 
Jeremiah: for the law shall not perish from the priests, nor counsel 
from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite 
him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words. 
(Jer. 18:18.) 



h. The wolf also snail dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall 
lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling 
together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the 
bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the 
lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on 
the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the 
cockatrice den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all mine holy 
mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, 
as the waters cover the sea. (Is. 11:6-9.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy 
hot displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand 
presseth me sore. (Ps. 38:1, 2.) 

b. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore, and my 
kinsmen stand afar off. (Ps. 38:11.) Lover and friend hast thou put 
far from me. and mine acquaintance into darkness. (Ps. 8S:18.) 

c. I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: 
1 will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 
(Ps. 39:1.) 

d. My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 
(Job 27:4.) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? 
let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of 
wisdom. (Js. 3:13.) 

e. Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Job exciiseth his desire of death. 12 He 
complaineth of his own restlessness, 17 and 
God's watchfulness. 

1 'Is there not a an ainpointed time to man 
upon earth? are not his days also like the days 
of an hireling? 

2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shad- 
ow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward 
of his work: 

3 So am I made to possess ^months of 6 van- 
ity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. 

4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I 
arise, and the night be gone? and I am full 
of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the 
day. 

-5 My flesh is clothed c with 'worms and clods 
of dust; my skin is broken, and become loath- 
some. 

6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shut- 
tle, and are spent without hope. 

7 remember that ''my life is wind: mine 
eye shall no more 4 see good. 

8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall 
see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and 
I am not. 

9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth 
away: so he that goeth down to the 'grave 
shall come up rib more. 

10 He shall return no more to his house, 
neither shall his place know him any more. 

11 Therefore I will f not refrain my mouth: 
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I 
will complain in the bitterness of my soul. 

12 s Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou set- 
test a watch over me? 

13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, 
my couch shall ease my complaint; 

14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and 
terrifiest me through visions: 

15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and 
death rather than my life. 

16 I loathe it; 'I would not live alway: let 
me alone; for Jmy days are vanity. 

17 °What 7, is man, that thou shouldest mag- 
nify him? and that thou shouldest set thine 
heart upon him? 

18 And that thou shouldest visit him every 
morning, and try him every moment? 

19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, 
nor let me alone till I swallow down my spit- 
tle? 

20 I have ^sinned; what shall I do unto thee, 
thou -'Preserver of men? why hast thou set 
me as a mark against thee, so that I am a 
burden to myself? 

(Job 12:11.) For the ear tristh words, as the rnouth tasteth meat. 
(Job 34:3.) 
Chapter 7. 

a. Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are 
with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass (5). 

that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep 
me secret, until thy wrath be passed, that thou wouldest appoint me a 
set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all 
the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. (Job 
14:5, 13, 14.) Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with 
corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. (Job 39:4.) To every 
thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to 
pluck up that which is planted. (Ecc. 3:1, 2.) 

b. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine 
a^e is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is 
altogether vanity. Selah. (Ps. 39:5.) 

c. I have said to corruption, Thou are my father: to the worm, 
Thou art my mother, and my sister. (Job 17:14.) And though after my 
skin worms destroy this bodv, yet in my flesh shall I see God. (Job 
19:26.) 

d. For he remembered they were but flesh: a wind that passeth 
away, and cometh not again. • (Ps. 78:39.) For what is your life? It is 
even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 
(Js. 4:14.) 

e. 1 will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I 
will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me (1). 

1 was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. (Ps. 39:1, 9.) 
Lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest. (Ps. 40:9.) 

f. My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon 
myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. (Job 10:1.) 

g. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree 
are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than 
vanity. (Ps. 62:9.) 

h. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, 
that thou visitest him? (Ps. 8:4.) Lord, what is man, that thou takest 



1. Vs. 1-11, Job bewails the vanity 
of life. 



2. He suffers misery month after 
month. 



3. It was quite common in cases 
of elephantiasis for maggots to infest 
the sore under the dry crust, and such 
Job declares to be his condition. 



4. That is, enjoy, good. 

5. Vs. 12-16, Job maintains his 
guiltlessness of wrongdoing and 
pleads for relief. , 

C. Vs. 17-21, for the first time Job 
admits that sin may be the cause of 
his trouble. 

7. Sheol, a state or place which 
the righteous expect to enter. (R. V.) 

Ch. 8. B. C. 1520. 



1. Bildad answers Job. and — like 
EHphaz — stoically maintains that the 
afflictions of Job are the retributions 
for sins committed. Bildad seeks to 
justify and render impregnable his 
position from the standpoint of the 
justice of God. Like Eliphaz, he 
pleads with Job to repent. 



2. Vs. 2-7, the justice of God 
proclaimed. 



3. The world-wide idea of God. 



4. Vs. 5-7. as certain as God pun- 
ishes the wicked, he will reward the 
righteous. 



5. An unintentional, an uncon- 
scious prophecy of what actually took 
place. 



G. Job had said (ch. 6:24). "Teach 
me." Bildad now summons the 
proverbs of the fathers as a crushing 
blow, answering Job's request to be 
taught. 

7. What mire is to the rush, or 
papyrus and water to the flag, such 
the grace of God is to the soul. 



8. Illustrating the state of the 
hypocrite. 



9. Frail as the spider's web; a 
fitting illustration, because the spider 
dors the best she can, but not so 
with man. 



10. 



That is, assist. 



21 And why dost thou not pardon my trans- 
gression, and take away mine iniquity? for 
now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt 
seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 Bildad sheweth God's justice in dealing with 
men according to their works. 20 He ap- 
plieth God's just dealing to Job. 

1 'Then answered Bil'dad the Shu'hite, and 
said, 

2 2 How long wilt thou speak these things? 
and how long shall the words of thy mouth 
be like a strong wind? 

3 Doth God "pervert judgment? or doth the 
'Almighty pervert justice? 

4 If thy children have sinned against him, 
and he have cast them away for their trans- 
gression ; 

5 Tf thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, 
and make thy supplication to the Almighty; 

6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely 
now he would awake for thee, and make the 
habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. 

7 ^Though thy beginning was small, yet thy 
latter end should greatly increase. 

8 For ^enquire, I pray thee, of the former 
age, and prepare thyself to the search of their 
fathers : 

9 (For c we are but of yesterday, and know 
nothing, because our days upon earth are a 
shadow:) 

10 Shall not they teach "thee, and tell thee, 
and utter words out of their heart? 

11 Can the rush grow up without mire? 
can the flag grow 'without water? 

12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not 
cut down, it 8 withereth before any other herb. 

13 So are the paths of all that forget God; 
and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: 

14 Whose hope shall 9 be cut off, and whose 
trust shall be a spider's web. 

15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall 
not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall 
not endure. 

16 He is green before the sun, and his 
branch shooteth forth in his garden. 

17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, 
and seeth the place of stones. 

18 If he destroy him from his place, then 
it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen 
thee. 

19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and 
out of the earth shall others grow. 

20 Behold, God will not ^cast away a per- 
fect man, neither will he 10 help the evildoers: 



knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 
(Ps. 144:3.) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son 
of man, that thou visitest him? (Heb. 2:6.) 

i. How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my 
transgression and my sin. (Job 13:23.) I acknowledged my sin unto 
thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. (Ps. 32:5.) Lord, be merciful 
unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. (Ps. 41:4.) As 
far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our trans- 
gressions from us. (Ps. 103:12.) But there is. forgiveness with thee, 
that thou mayest be feared. (Ps. 130:4.) For this is my blood of the 
new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 
(Mat. 2G:2S.) 

j. His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. (Ps. 
11:4.) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: 
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom 
we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) And all the churches shall know that I 
am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every 
one of you according to your works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the 
righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the 
wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth 
do right? (Gen. 18:25.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all 
his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and 
right is he. (Dt. 32:4.) Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither 
will the Almighty pervert judgment. (Job 34:12.) But if our unright- 
eousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is 
God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.) (Rom. 3:5.) 

b. For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, 
smce the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the 
one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such 
thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? (Dt. 4:32.) 

c. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine 
age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is 
altogether vanity. Selah. (Ps. 39:5.) 

d. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord

JOB 



21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and 
thy lips with rejoicing. 

22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with 
shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked 
shall come to nought. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 Job, acknowledging God's justice, sheweth 
there is no contending with him. 22 Man's 
innocency is not to be condemned by afflic- 
tions. 

1 ''Then Job answered and said, 

2 2 I know it is so of a truth: but how 
should "man be just with God? 

3 If he will contend with him, he cannot 
answer him one 3 of a thousand. 

4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in 
strength: who hath hardened himself against 
him, and 4 hath prospered? 

5 Which removeth the mountains, and they 
:, know not: which overturneth them in his 
anger. 

6 Which 6 shaketh the earth out of her place, 
and the pillars thereof tremble. 

'7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth 
not; and sealeth up the stars. 

8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, 
and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 

9 Which maketh Arc-tu'rus, 6-ri'on, and 
Ple'ia-des, and the chambers of the south. 

10 Which doeth great things past finding 
out; yea, and wonders without number. 

11 Lo, ''he goeth by me, and I see him not: 
he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. 

12 Behold, he °taketh away, ''who can hinder 
him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? 

13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the 
proud helpers do stoop under him. 

14 How much less shall I 7 answer him, and 
choose out my words to reason with him? 

15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet 
would I not answer, but I would make suppli- 
cation to my judge. 

16 If I had called, and he had answered me; 
yet would I not believe that he had hearkened 
unto my voice. 

17 s For he breaketh me with a tempest, and 
multiplieth my wounds ''without cause. 

18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, 
but filleth me with bitterness. 

19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: 
and if of judgment, who shall set me a time 
to plead? 

20 If I "justify myself, mine own mouth 
shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it 
shall also prove me perverse. 



Ch. 9. B. c. 1520. 



1. In chs. 9 and 10 is recorded 
Job's second reply or his answer to 

Bildad. 



2. Vs. 2-12, the apparent antag- 
onism of God to the righteous, as in- 
dicated to Job by his own case, is 
a mystery. 



3. Man could net have an answer 
for "one in a thousand of his sins." 



4. Remained unpunished. 



5. A Hebraism for "in a mo- 
ment." 



6. Job regards death as the work 
of God. 



7. Such as I. ' 



8. Vs. 17-20. Job declares his suf- 
ferings proved God to be almighty, 
but not just. 



9. Job declares it impossible to 
plead against God. 



10. Job here asserts his own in- 
nocence, a fact he shrank from in v. 
20, but in his extreme agony of soul 
and body he yields to the temptation. 



11. If God bo. not the author of 
this state of affairs, who is? 



12. A courier or messenger. 



13. Snow-water was regarded by 
the ancients as possessing peculiar 
cleansing power. 



Ch. 10. B. C. 1520. 



1. I will give "loose or rein" to 
my complaint. 



2. Though in v. 20 of ch. 9, Job 
charged God with declaring him 
guilty, he now prays God "Fasten 
not guilt upon me." 



Is it becoming thee? 



4. Not limited to eyes of flesh, but 
comprehends the heart. 

5. Job here declares that God will 
outlive man. therefore there is no 
necessity for hurried punishment, 
consequently to administer it would 
not be justice. 



Ch. io B. C. 1520 

21 Though I were "perfect, yet would I not 
know my soul: I would despise my life. 

22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, 
?He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 

23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will 
laugh at the trial of the innocent. 

24 The earth is given into the hand of the 
wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges 
thereof; if not, where, and 12 who is he? 

25 "Now my days are swifter than a post : 
they flee away, they see no good. 

26 They are passed away as the swift ships : 
as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. 

27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I 
will leave off my heaviness, and comfort my- 
self: 

28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know 
that thou wilt not hold me innocent. 

29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in 
vain? 

30 If I wash myself with snow 13 water, and 
make my hands never so clean; 

31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, 
and mine own clothes shall abhor me. 

32 For ''he is not a man, as I am, that I 
should answer him, and we should come to- 
gether in judgment. 

33 Neither is there any 'daysman betwixt 
us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 

34 Let him take his rod away from me, and 
let not his fear terrify me: 

35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; 
but it is not so with me. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 Job, taking liberty of complaint, expostu- 
lateth with God about his afflictions. 18 He 
complaineth of life, and craveth a little ease 
before death. 

1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave 
my 'complaint upon myself; I will speak in 
the bitterness of my soul. 

2 I will say unto God, Do not ^condemn me; 
shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. 

3 Is 3 it good unto thee that thou shouldest 
oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work 
of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel 
of the wicked? 

4 Hast thou 4 eyes of flesh? or a seest thou 
as man seeth? 

5 Are thy days 6 as the days of man? are 
thy years as man's days, 

6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, 
and searchest after my sin? 



upholdeth him with his hand. (Ps. 37:24.) And the very God of peace 
sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and 
body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
Faithful is he that ealleth you, who also will do it. (I Thes. 5:23, 24.) 
Remember, I pray thee, whoever perish, being innocent? or where were 
the righteous cut off? (Job 4:7.) 
Chapter 9. 

a. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight 
shall no man living be justified. (Ps. 143:2.) Therefore by the deeds 
of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law 
is the knowledge of sin. (Rom. 3:20.) Knowing that a man is not 
justified by the works of the law... but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even 
we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the 
faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works 
of the law shall no flesh be justified. (Gal. 2:16.) 

b. Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and 
the earth, and the sea, and the dry land (6). I will shake the heavens 
and the earth. (Hag. 2:6, 21.) Whose voice then shook the earth: but 
now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth 
only, but also heaven. (Heb. 12:26.) 

c. Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but 
I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I 
cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot 
see him. (Job 23:8, 9.) Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, • 
yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. (Job 35:14.) 

d. "Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd 
strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him 
that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 
fls. 45:9.) Cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Be- 
hold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O 
house of Israel. (Jer. 18:6.) Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest 
against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why 
hast thou made me thus? (Rom. 9:20.) For shall the work say of him 
that made it. He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him 
thai framed it. He had no understanding? (Is. 2fl:ii;.i 



e. If I he wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I 
not lift up mine head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine 
affliction. (Job 10:15.) Now we know that what things soever the law 
saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may 
be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. (Rom. 3:19.) 

f. Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without 
transgression. (Job 34:6.) Neither hath this man sinned, nor his 
parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 
(Jno. 9:3.) 

g. All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, 
and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; 
to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, 
so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. 
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that 
there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is 
full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after 
that they go to the dead. (Ecc. 9:2, 3.) Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I 
am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, 
and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. (Ezek. 21:3.) 

h. That which hath been is named already, and it is known that 
it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he. 
(Ecc. 6:10.) Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why 
hast thou made me thus? (Rom. 9:20.) 

i. If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but 
if a man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him? Notwith- 
standing they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the 
Lord would slay them. (I Sam. 2:25.) For there is one God, and one 
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (I Tim. 2:5.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; 
because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for 
man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the 
heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) 



Ch. ii B. C. 1520 

7 Thou knowest that I am c not wicked; and 
there is none that can deliver out of thine 
hand. 

8 'Thine 6 hands have made me and fash- 
ioned me together round about; yet thou dost 
destroy me. 

9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast 
made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me 
into dust again? 

10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, 
and curdled me like cheese? 

11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and 
flesh, and hast fenced me with "bones and 
sinews. 

12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, 
and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. 

13 8 And these things hast thou hid in thine 
heart: I know that this is with thee. 

14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou 
wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. 

15 If I be wicked, c woe unto me; and if I 
be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. 
I am full of confusion; therefore d see thou 
mine affliction ; 

16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as 
a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself 
marvellous upon me. 

17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, 
and increasest thine indignation upon me; 
changes and war are against me. 

18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me 
forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given 
up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! 

19 I should have been as though I had not 
been; I should have been carried from the 
womb to the grave. 

20 Are not my days few? cease then, and 
let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, 

21- Before I go whence I shall not return, 
even to the land of darkness and c the shadow 
of death: 

22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself: 
and of the shadow of death, without any or- 
der, and where the light is as darkness. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 Zophar reproveth Job for justifying himself. 
5 God's wisdom is unsearchable. 13 The 
assured blessing of repentance. 

1 1 Then answered ZS'phar the Na'a-math- 
lte, and said, 

2 2 Should not the multitude of words be an- 
swered? and should a man full of talk be 
justified? 

3 Should thy lies make men hold their 
peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man 
make thee ashamed? 

4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is 3 pure, 
and I am clean in thine eyes. 

5 But oh that God would speak, and open 
his lips against thee; 



JOB 



Ch. 12 B. G. 1520 



441 



6. Job had previously confessed 
himself to be a sinner; he therefore 
means here, a distinction from the 
gross or overtly wicked. 

7. Vs. 8-12, Job declares his treat- 
ment now is not in keeping with the 
love and wisdom displayed in the 
creation of man. 

8. Vs. 13-22, Job declares that a 
life of misery is less desirable than 
death. 

Ch. 11. B. C. 1520. 

1. In this ch. Zophar delivers his 
first address. It should be observed 
that each of Job's friends (?) ap- 
pealed to a different source of author- 
ity in his attempt to convince Job 
of his sin. Eliphaz appeals to the 
spiritual world; Bildad to the wisdom 
of the past; Zophar, the youngest of 
the three, relies on himself. Zophar 
regards Job's calamities as direct 
punishments from God; as proof of 
his position, he portrays in beautiful 
imagery the happiness and security 
of the just, concluding with the doom 
of the wicked. 

2. Vs. 2-6, a severe censure pro- 
nounced upon Job. 

3. The claim made by Job, i. e., 
he was without intentional sin. 

4. That is, God forgives more than 
he punishes, consequently Zophar 
seeks to inform Job that his sins are 
greater than his punishment. 

5. Vs. 7-9, God's wisdom is un- 
searchable. 

6. The wisdom of God is above the 
heavens, beneath the depths of Sheol 
(the under world) and broader than 
the sea. 

7. If he pass by and gather the 
people together in trial, who can pre- 
vent it? 

8. Vs. 13-20, Zophar exhorts Job 
to repentance. 

9. Vs. 16, 17, present sorrows for- 
gotten. 

10. A figure — thy grief, now so 
tumultuous, will completely pass 
away, as the waters of the moun- 
tain torrents, if thou wilt only repent. 

11. Vs. 1S-20, Job shall always 
be held securely within the fold, if 
he repents. 

12. The downfall of the wicked 
is beyond recovery, except through 
repentance, and thus without re- 
pentance. Job will die. 

Ch. 12. B. C. 1520. 

1. Beginning with ch. 12, is re- 
corded Job's third reply, and in a 
single sentence (v. 6) he sets at 
naught all their pretentious argu- 
ments. Then Job turns to God, who 
is infinite in knowledge and power, 
and who holds the results of all 
things in his hands, and pleads the 
miserable lot of man, as a reason 
for clemency on the part of God. 
Job is painfully aware that in his 
semi-complaining appeal he takes 
his life in his own hands, yet so 
boundless is his faith in the love, 
justice and mercy of God, that he 
declares that though God should' 
smite him, yet will he trust him. 
With the entire physical man over- 
burdened with pain, and his soul 
pricked to the quick by the thrusts 
of persecuting friends, he prays to 
God that he will hide him in the 
grave until the present dark scheme 
shall have passed, then give him an- 
other trial under a different regime. 

2. With irony, Job would meet 
their false reasoning. 

3. As a torch to the wanderer, so 



6 And that he would shew thee the secrets 
of wisdom, that they are double to that which 
is! Know therefore that a God exacteth of 
4 thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. 

7 5 Canst thou 6 by searching find out God? 
canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfec- 
tion? 

8 It is as high as "heaven; what canst thou 
do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? 

9 The measure thereof is longer than the 
earth, and broader than the sea. 

10 If he 7 cut off, and shut up, or gather 
together, then who can hinder him? 

11 For c he knoweth vain men : he seeth 
wickedness also; will he not then consider it? 

12 For vain man would be wise, though 
man be born like a wild ass's colt. 

13 s If thou ^prepare thine heart, and stretch 
out thine hands toward him; 

14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far 
away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy 
tabernacles. 

15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face with- 
out spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt 
not fear: 

16 "Because thou shalt forget thy misery, 
and remember it as "waters that pass away: 

17 And thine age shall be clearer than the 
noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be 
as the morning. 

18 "And thou shalt be secure, because there 
is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and 
thou shalt take thy rest in safety. 

19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall 
make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit 
unto thee. 

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, 
and c they shall not escape, and their '"hope 
shall be as the giving up of the ghost. 

CHAPTER 12. 

1 Job maintaineth himself against his friends 
that reprove him. 7 He acknowledged 
God's omnipotency. 

1 x And J5b answered and said, 

2 No doubt but "ye are the people, and 
wisdom shall die with you. 

3 But I have understanding as well as you; 
I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth 
not such things as these? 

4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, 
"who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: 
the just upright man is laughed to scorn. 

5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as 
a 3 lamp despised in the thought of him that is 
at ease. 

6 The tabernacles of 6 robbers prosper, and 
they that provoke God are secure; into whose 
hand God bringeth abundantly. 

7 4 But ask c now the "'beasts, and they shall 



Job has been to his friends. Once 
they gladly used his aid in their 
need, and they in their prosperity 
mock him in his need. 



4. Vs. 7-12. Even the brute crea- 
tion might have taught Zophar that 
divine wisdom about which he spoke 
so much. 



5. The scriptures frequently sum- 
mon the so-called inferior creation 
to instruct man in things pertaining 
to w-isdom. The world of instinct is 



a mystery into which man cannot en- 
ter. "Every creature has a trumpet 
in his mouth to proclaim the 
Deity." 



b. The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, 

Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. 
(Ps. 138:8.) But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, 
and thou our potter; and all are the work of thine hand. (Is. 64:8.) 
Thine hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, 
that I may learn thy commandments. (Ps, 119:73.) 

c. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward 
of his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) But we are all as an 
unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we 
all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us 
away. (Is. 64:6.) So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those 
things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: 
we have done that which was our duty to do. (Luke 17:10.) 

d. Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 
(Ps. 25:18.) 

e. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 

1 will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they 
comfort me. (Ps. 23:4.) Let darkness and the shadow of death stain 
It; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. 
(Job 3:5.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. Thou earnest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with 
them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, 
good statutes and commandments. It is of the Lord's mercies that we 
are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. (Lam. 3:22.) 



b. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath 
set the world in their heart; so that no man can find out the work that 
God maketh from the beginning to the end. (Ecc. 3:11.) O the depth 
of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearch- 
able are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! (Rom. 11:33.) 

c. I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every 
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 
(Jer. 17:10.) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his 
sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with 
whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

d. And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the- 
Lord. (II Chr. 12:14.) We will not hide them from their children, 
showing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his 
strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. (Ps. 78:4.) 

e. Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong 
shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver him- 
self. (Amos 2:14.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with 
him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. (Ps. 91:15.) 

b. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself 
like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, 
I sought him, but he could not be found. (Ps. 37:35, 36.) 

c. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. 
(Prov. 6:6.)

teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they 
shall tell thee: 

8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach 
thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare 
unto thee. 

9 Who knoweth not in all these that the 
hand of the °Lord hath wrought this? 

10 In d whose hand is the soul of every living 
thing, and the breath of all mankind. 

11 Doth not the ear try words? and the 
mouth taste his meat? 

12 With 7 the ancient is wisdom; and in 
length of days understanding. 

13 "With 'him c 'is wisdom and strength, he 
hath counsel and understanding. 

14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot 
be built again: he shutteth up a man, and 
there can be no opening. 

15 Behold, he /withholdeth the "waters, and 
they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and 
they overturn the earth. 

16 With him is strength and wisdom: the 
deceived and the deceiver are his. 

17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and 
maketh the judges fools. 

18 He looseth the bond of kings, and gird- 
eth their loins with a girdle. 

19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and 
overthroweth the mighty. 

20 He removeth "away the speech of the 
trusty, and taketh away the understanding of 
the aged. 

21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and 
weakeneth the strength of the mighty. 

22 He ''discovereth deep things out of dark- 
ness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of 
death. 

23 'He increaseth the nations, and destroy- 
eth them: he enlargeth the nations, and strait- 
en eth them again. 

24 He taketh away the heart of the chief 
of the people of the earth, and causeth them 
to wander in a wilderness where there is no 
way. 

25 They grope in the dark without light, 
and he "maketh them to stagger like a drunk- 
en man. 

CHAPTER 13. 
1 Job reproveth his friends of partiality. 14 
He professeth his confidence in God: 20 and 
intreateth to know his sins, and God's pur- 
pose in afflicting him. 

1 ^o, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear 
hath heard and understood it. 

2 What ye know, the same do I know also: 
I am not inferior unto you. 

3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and 
I desire to reason with God. 

4 But ye are forgers of 2 lies, ye are all 
physicians of no value. 



C. Jehovah, the self-existent. 

7. Old men; length of days brings 
understanding. 

8. Vs. 13-25, the government of 
God cannot be explained or bounded 
by man. 

9. The aged, to whom years have 
brought understanding. 

10. Probably alluding to the flood. 

11. God is always said to do that 
which he permits to be done. 

Ch. 13. B. C. 1520. 

1. Vs. 1-12. Job desires to trans- 
fer his case from his false friends 
directly to God; thus taking Zophar 
at his word in Job 11:5. "But 
oh, that God would speak and open 
his lips against thee." Thus is fur- 
nished the key to this ch. — i. e., God. 
and he alone, can arbitrate upon the 
cold, cruel judgments of men. 



2. Artful 
speeches.

3. My reproof. 

4. Will they be partial for God? 
They have overlooked two facts — the 
prosperity of the wicked and the 
sufferings of the innocent. 

T>. Vs. 13-22. Job resolves to carry 
his appeal directly to God at any 
cost. 

G. A voluntary exposure to great 
danger. 

7. Though he slay me and I dare 
no more to hope, yet I will main- 
tain my innocence; i. e., Job desires 
to vindicate himself as not a hypo- 
crite. 

8. Job reasons that God cannot 
reveal himself to the wicked, there- 
fore if God accepts his challenge it 
will be an acknowledgment of inno- 
cence. 

n. Vs. 17-23. Job pleads the re- 
moval of the advantages of omnip- 
otence that he may have a fair and 
just trial. 

in. "He" refers to God. (Hitzig.) 

11. That is. grant him a respite 
from trouble and not overwhelm him 
with terror. 

12. The terror of the Lord. 

13. Job here uses language which, 
in his soberer moments, he condemns. 

14. Vs. 23-28, the appeal to God. 

15. Job here intimates that if his 
calamities were put in the balance 
against his sins, they would greatly 
outweigh them. 

1C. A clog for the feet, hobbled. 



5 O that ye would altogether hold your 
peace! and "it should be your wisdom. 

6 Hear now my ^reasoning, and hearken to 
the pleadings of my lips. 

7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk 
deceitfully for him? 

8 Will ye accept "his person? will ye con- 
tend for God? 

- 9 Is it good that he should search you out? 
or as one man mocketh another, do ye so 
mock him? 

10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do se- 
cretly accept persons. 

11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? 
and his dread fall upon you? 

12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, 
your bodies to bodies of clay. 

13 r 'Hold your peace, let me alone, that I 
may speak, and let come on me what will. 

14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, 
and put my life in c mine hand? 

15 Though °he slay me, yet will I 'trust in 
him: but I will maintain mine own ways be- 
fore him. 

16 He also shall s be f my salvation: for an 
hypocrite shall not come before him. 

17 ''Hear diligently my speech, and my dec- 
laration with your ears. 

18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; 
I know that I shall be justified. 

19 Who is 10 he that will plead with me? for 
now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the 
ghost. 

20 Only do not two "things unto me: then 
will I not hide myself from thee. 

21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and 
let not thy "dread make me afraid. 

22 Then call thou, "and I will answer: or 
let me speak, and answer thou me. 

23 "How ir 'many are mine iniquities and 
sins? make me to know my transgression and 
my sin. 

24 'Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and 
holdest me for thine enemy? 

25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and 
fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 

26 For thou writest bitter things against 
me, and c makest me to possess the iniquities 
of my youth. 

27 Thou puttest my feet also in the "stocks, 
and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou 
settest a print upon the heels of my feet. 

28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as 
a garment that is moth eaten.

1 Job intreateth God for favour, by the short- 
ness of life, and certainty of death. 7 
Though life once lost be irrecoverable, yet 
he waiteth for his change. 16 By sin the 
creature is subject to corruption. 



d. O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, 
and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? (Num. 16:22.) But 
hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought 
the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, 
and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised 
the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which 
see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath 
is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified. (Dan. 5:23.) 
What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter 
forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the 
resurrection. (Acts 17:18.) 

e. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened 
himself against him, and hath prospered? (Job 9:4.) Behold, God is 
mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. 

. (Job 3(5:5.) Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is 
excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will 
not afflict. (Job 37:23.) 

f. As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there 
shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. (1 
Ks. 17:1.) 

g. For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from 
Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of 
bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man oE 
war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, 
The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and 
Hie cunnins! artificer, and the eloquent orator. (Is. 3:1-3.) 

h. Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered, that 
shall Tint be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. (Mat. 10:26.) 
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who 
both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make 



manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have 
praise of God. (I Cor. 4:5.) 

i. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and 
suffereth not their cattle to decrease. (Ps. 107:3S.) Thou hast multi- 
plied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee accord- 
ing to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the 
spoil. (Is. 9:3.) Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast 
increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far 
unto all the ends of the earth. (Is. 26:15.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and 
he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. ' (Prov. 
17:28.) 

b. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they 
comfort me. (Ps. 23:4.) The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: 
but the righteous hath hope in his death. (Prov. 14:32.) And though 
after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see 
God. (Job 19:26.) Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for 
the end of that man is peace. (Ps. 37:37.) We are confident, I say, 
and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with 
the Lord. (II Cor. 5:8.) 

c. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; 
for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become 
my . salvation. (Is. 12:2.) 

d. How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? How long wilt 
thou hide thy face from me? (Ps. 13:1.) I will wait upon the Lord, 
that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 
(Is. 8:17.) 

e. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:

JOB 



B. C. 1520 



443 



1 Man that is born 'of a woman is of few 
days, and "full of trouble. 

2 He b cometh forth like a flower, and is cut 
down: he fieeth also as a shadow, and con- 
tinueth not. 

3 And c 'dost thou open thine eyes upon such 
an one, and bringest me into judgment with 
thee? 

4 Who < 7 can bring a clean thing out of an 
unclean? not "one. 

5 Seeing his Mays are determined, the num- 
ber of his months are with thee, thou hast 
appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 

6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he 
shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. 

7 "For °there is hope of a tree, if it be cut 
down, that it will sprout again, and that the 
tender branch thereof will not cease. 

8 Though the root thereof wax old in the 
earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 

9 Yet through the °scent of water it will 
bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 

10 But man dieth, and 7 wasteth away: yea, 
man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 

11 As the waters fail from the sea, and 
the flood decayeth and drieth up: 

12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: e till 
the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, 
nor be raised out of their sleep. 

13 that thou wouldest s hide me in the 
grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until 
thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest ap- 
point me a set time, and remember me! 

14 If a man die, shall he live 9 again? all the 
days of my appointed time will I wait, 'till 
my 10 change come. 

15 Thou fshalt call, and I will answer thee: 
thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine 
hands. 

16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost 
thou not watch over my sin? 

17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, 
and thou sewest up mine iniquity. 

18 And surely the mountain falling cometh 
to nought, and the rock is removed out of his 
place. 

19 The waters wear the stones: thou wash- 
est away the things which grow out of the 
dust of the earth and thou destroyest the 
hope of man. 

20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, 
and he passeth : " thou changest his "counte- 
nance, and sendest him away. 

21 His sons come to honour, and 7, he know- 
eth it not; and they are brought low, but he 
perceiveth it not of them. 

22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, 
and ^his soul within him shall mourn. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 Eliphaz reproveth Job of impiety in justi- 
fying himself. 17 He proveth by tradition 
the unquietness of wicked men. 



Ch. 14. B. C. 1520. 

1. Like produces like. If a woman 
is (rail and subject to suffering and 
infirmities her offspring will be like- 
wise affected. Hence, Job's appeal 
for mercy is based upon constitu- 
tional weakness. The "sad estate 
of man as man," is the subject of 
this ch. 

2. "That which is born of the 
flesh is flesh." 

3. Not fatalism, but the divine 
knowledge. 

4. Vs. 7-12, Job assigns another 
reason why God should be merciful 
to man, i. e., the hopelessness of his 
death. 

5. Introducing another reason for 
the plea in v. 6. 

6. Odor or mist. 

7. Lies powerless. ' 

S. The dead in the grave are 
God's hidden treasures. 

9. Job gives the answer in the re- 
maining portion of the verse, "All 
the days of my appointed time, will 
I wait till my change comes." 

10. Relief. 

11. Death is the seal or change 
put upon its victim as a token of 
victory. 

Ch. 15. B. C. 1520. 

1. With this ch. the second part 
of the controversy between Job and 
his friends (?) takes place, and El- 
iphaz delivers his second address. 

2. In vs. 2-19, Eliphaz maintains 
Job's speeches prove his guilt. 

3. That which is within, it means, 
with inmost being. 

4. Job's theory that God treats 
the righteous and the unrighteous 
alike makes prayer unnecessary. 

5. Thine own speech condemnelh 
thee. 

6. The same word used of the ser- 
pent in Gen. 3:1, signifying deceit. 

7. Vs. 7-11, ironical questions, put 
to Job concerning his superior wis- 
dom and self-sufficiency. 

s. Wast thou present at the se- 
cret counsels of God, that thou 
shouldst possess so much wisdom '( 

9. Withhold or keep back to thy- 
self. 

10. Vs. 12-16. Eliphaz _ suggests 
the trouble with Job to be* his ig- 
norance of the true character of sin. 

11. Eliphaz here takes up Job's 
admission of the frailty of man 
"born of woman," hence Job is a 
self-admitted sinner. 

12. Exceeding fondness for sin. 

13. Sin. 

14. Vs. 20-24, Eliphaz maintains 
that notwithstanding their appear- 
ance, fear and anxiety constantly 
torment the wicked throughout their 
lives. 

15. Writhes in pain. 

16. His life prolonged for pun- 
ishment because of wrongdoing. 

17. Sound of many terrors, the 
terrors of the Lord. 

18. "Behind the knight, sits dark 
care." 

19. In the mirror of the imagina- 
tion he sees himself wandering about 
as food for a consuming despair. 

20. Trouble and anguish make 
war as an army against the wicked. 

21. Boasteth of thyself. 

22. With neck erect. 

23. Masses of fat. 



1 'Then answered El'i-phaz the Te'man-ite, 
and said, 

2 "Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, 
and fill his helly with the east wind? 

3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? 
or with speeches wherewith he can do no 
good? 

4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and 4 restrain- 
est prayer before God. 

5 For thy mouth" uttereth thine iniquity, 
and thou choosest the tongue of the "crafty. 

6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and 
not I : yea, thine own lips testify against thee. 

7 7 Art thou the first man that was born? or 
wast thou made before the hills? 

8 "Hast thou heard the "secret of God? and 
dost thou "restrain wisdom to thyself? 

9 What knowest thou, that we know not? 
what under standest thou, which is not in us? 

10 With us are both the grayheaded and 
very aged men, much elder than thy father. 

11 Are the consolations of God small with 
thee? is there any secret thing with thee? 

12 10 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? 
and what do thy eyes wink at, 

13 That thou turnest thy spirit against 
God, and lettest such words go out of thy 
mouth? 

14 What b is man, that he should be clean? 
and he which is "born of a woman, that he 
should be righteous? 

15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; 
yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 

16 How much more abominable and filthy 
is man, c which "drinketh i:: iniquity like water? 

17 I will shew thee, hear me; and that 
which I have seen I will declare; 

18 Which wise men have told from their 
fathers, and have not hid it: 

19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, 
and ''no stranger passed among them. 

20 "The wicked man 15 travaileth with pain 
all his days, and the number of years 10 is hid- 
den to the oppressor. 

21 A "dreadful sound is in his ears: c in 
prosperity the destroyer is shall come upon him. 

22 He believeth not that he shall return out 
of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. 

23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, 
Where 10 is it? he knoweth that the day of 
darkness is ready at his hand. 

24 Trouble 20 and anguish shall make him 
afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a 
king ready to the battle. 

25 For he stretcheth out his hand against 
God, and strengthened 21 himself against the 
Almighty. 

26 He runneth upon him, even on his "neck, 
upon the thick bosses of his bucklers: 

27 Because he covereth his face with his 
fatness, and maketh 23 collops of fat on his 
flanks. 

28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in 



according 'to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O 
Lord. (Ps. 25:7.) 
Chapter 14. 

a. For all his days are sorrows) and his travail grief; yea, his heart 
taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity. (Ecc. 2:23.) Yet 
man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. (Job 5:7.) 

b. What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness 
thereof is as the flower of the field. (Is. 40:6.) For all flesh is as 
grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass 
withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the 
Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel 
is preached unto you. (I Pet. 1:24, 25.) 

c. Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the 
son of man, that thou makest account of him! (Ps. 144:3.) What is 
man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou 
visitest him? (Heb. 2:6.) 

d. Behold, I wes shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother 
conceive me. (Ps. 51:5.) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (Jno. 3:6.) 

e. For, behold, 1 create new heavens and a new earth: and the 
former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Is. 65:17.) But 
the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept 
in store, reserved unto Are against the day of judgment and perdition 
of ungodly men. (II Pet. 3:7.) And I saw a new heaven and a new 
earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and 
there was no more sea. (Rev. 21:1.) 

f. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer 



thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.) For this corruptible 
must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 
(I Cor. 15:53.) 

g. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, 
that he may judge his people. (Ps. 50:4.) Marvel not at this: for the 
hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his 
voice. (Jno. 5:28.) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of 
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. (I Thes. 4:16.) 

h. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know 
not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory 
of them is forgotten. (Ecc. 9:5.) 

i. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer 
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 8:12.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been 
his counsellor? (Rom. 11:34.) 

b. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 
truth is not in us. (I Jno. 1:8.) Who can bring a clean thing out of 
an unclean? not one. (Job 14:4.) Who can say, I have made mine 
heart clean, I am pure from my sin? (Prov. 20:9.) For there is not a 
just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. (Ecc. 7:20.) 

c. An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the 
wicked devoureth iniquity. (Prov. 19:28.) 

d. So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in 
Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall 
no strangers pass through her any more. (Joel 3:17.) 

e. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruc-

houses which no man inhabiteth, which are 
ready to become heaps. 

29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his 
substance continue, neither shall he prolong 
the perfection thereof upon the earth. 

30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the 
flame shall dry up his branches, and by f the 
breath :i of his mouth shall he go away. 

31 "Let not him that is "deceived trust ^in 
vanity: for ""vanity shall be his recompence. 

32 It shall be accomplished 'before his time, 
and his branch shall not be green. 

33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as 
the vine, and shall cast off his flower ^as the 
olive. 

34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall 
be desolate, : and "fire shall consume the tab- 
ernacles of bribery. 

35 They "conceive mischief, and bring forth 
vanity, and their belly prepareth "'deceit. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 Job reproveth his friends of unmercifulness. 
7 He sheweth the pitifulness of his case. 
. 17 He maintaineth his innocency. 

1 : Then Job answered and said, 

2 T have heard many such things* miser- 
able comforters are ye all. 

3 Shall Vain words have an end? or what 
embolden eth thee that thou 4 answerest? 

4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul 
were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words 
against you, and ^shake mine head at you. 

•5 But I would strengthen you with my 
mouth, and the moving of my lips should 
as swage your grief. 

6 5 Though I speak, my grief is not as- 
swaged: and though I forbear, what am I 
eased? 

7 But now he hath made me weary: thou 
hast made desolate all my company. 

8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, 
which is a witness against me: and my lean- 
ness rising up in me beareth witness to my 
face. 

9 He teareth 'me in his wrath, who hateth 
me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; 
mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 

10 They have 7 gaped upon me with their 
mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek 
reproachfully; they have gathered themselves 
together against me. 

11 God hath delivered me to the .hingodly, 
and turned me over into the hands of the 
wicked. 

12 T was at ease, but he hath broken me 
asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, 
and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for 
his mark. " 

13 His archers compass me round about, he 



24. By the breath of God's month 
he was given life, by his breath it 
shall be taken away. 

25. Vs. 31-35. the conclusion Eli- 
phaz would have Job to draw is: The 
Godless are miserable; therefore the 
most miserable are the most Godless: 
hence Job is a great sinner. 

26. "Let him not trust in evil; 
he is deceived, for evil shall be his 
reward." 

27. For sin. the wicked get de- 
struction. (Gal. 6. 7) — *"Be not de- 
ceived: God is not mocked; for 
whatsoever a man soweth. that shaU 
he also reap." 

2S. Images of incompleteness, 
typifying the sinner's ruin as the 
fruit of his own conduct. (Is. 3:11) 
— ""Woe unto the wicked! It shall 
be ill with him, for the rewards of 
his hands shall be given him." 

29. A fig. employed for the wrath 
of God. 

30. The end toward which the en- 
tire address has pointed — Job is self- 
deceived. 

Ch. 16. B. C. 1520. 

1. Chs. 16. 17. contain Job's 
fourth speech, his second reply to 
Eliphaz. In this address Job rises 
to the heights of sublime faith. 
Crushed and wounded, he imagines 
himself weltering in his own blood, 
yet in his darkest hours he has hope 
— hope that the blood of the inno- 
cent has power with God. 

He rises to the certainty that God 
sees and feels his woes: conscious 
of his sympathy, he supplicates God 
to plead with God in his behalf. 
With a faith sublime, he believes 
his sufferings shall not injure the 
cause of virtue. 

2. Vs. 2-5. Job repudiates the 
heartless consolation of his friends. 

3. Windy words. 

4. "Wherefore do ye weary yonr- 
selves contradicting?" (Umbreit. > 

5. Vs. 6-17. a description of Job's 
sorrows, deserted and preyed upon by 
his friends. 

6. Raschi. Cocceius. Adam Clark. 
Taylor Lewis, and others, think that 
here Job speaks of Satan with his 
mocking friends. 

7. Opened wide. 
S. The evil one. 

9. Vs. 12-17. Job maintains his 
life of innocence, and harsh persecu- 
tion. 

10. The kidneys. 

11. Job here compares the human 
body to a citadel or fortified place. 
within which the besiegers have 
forced breaches. 

12. Inflamed with much tears. 

13. In heaven Job rests his hope. 

14. As God helped Jacob to wres- 
tle against himself, so now Job 
pleads with God to plead with God 
for him. 

Ch. 17. B. C. 1520. 

1. My spirit is consumed. (R.- V.) 

2. Vs. 9-23. Job continues to pray 
for a mediator, claiming as his cause 
is just it would be a crime against 
virtue for God not to adjudicate his 
case. 

3. And they have spit in my face. 
(R. V.) 

4. Astonished, surprised. 

5. Ewald says. "Job's main 
thought now is. for justice beyond 
death, to seek in another life the 
fruitage of faith, hope and charity. 
He reasons up to an eternal and 



cleaveth my reins "asunder, and doth not 
spare; he poureth out my gall upon the 
ground. 

14 He breaketh me with "breach upon 
breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. 

15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, 
and Mefiled my horn in the dust. 

16 My face is "foul with weeping, and on 
my eyelids is the shadow of death; 

17 Xot for any injustice in mine hands: 
also my prayer is pure. 

18 eaith, cover not thou my blood, and 
let my cry have no place. 

19 Also now, :s behold, my witness ^is in 
heaven, and my record is on high. 

20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye 
poureth out tears unto God. 

21 c that one might ^lead for a man with 
God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! 

22 When a few years are come, then I shall 
fgo the way whence I shall not return. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 Job appealeth from men to God. 6 The un- 
merciful dealing of men with the afflicted 
may astonish, but not discourage the right- 
eous. 11 His hope is not in life, but in 
death. 

1 "My breath is corrupt, my days are ex- 
tinct, the "graves are ready for me. 

2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth 
not mine eye continue in their provocation? 

3 "Lay down now, put me in a surety with 
thee; who is he that will strike hands with 
me? 

4 For thou hast hid their heart from un- 
derstanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt 
them. 

5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, 
even the eyes of his children shall fail. 

6 He hath made me also a byword of the 
people; and aforetime T was as a tabret. 

7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, 
and all my members are as a shadow. 

8 Upright men shall be 5 astonied at this, 
and the innocent shall stir up himself against 
the hypocrite. 

9 *The righteous also shall hold on his way, 
and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger 
and c stronger. 

10 "But as for you all, do ye return, and 
come now: for I cannot find one wise man 
among you. 

11 My days are past, my purposes are bro- 
ken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 

12 They change the night into day: the 
light is short because of darkness. 

13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I 
have made my bed in the darkness. 

14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my 



tion cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child: and 
they shall not escape. (I Thes. a 

f. By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of Ms nos- 
trils are they consumed. (Job 4:9.) 

g. Xone calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust 
in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth 
iniquity. (Is. 59:4.) 

h. Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? 
which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with 
a flood. (Job 22:15, 16.) But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into 
the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half 
their days; but I will trust in thee. (Ps. 55:23.) 

i. The sinners in Zion are afraid; tearfulness hath surprised the 
hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who 
among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? (Is. 33:14.) 

j. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, 
and brought forth falsehood. (Ps. 7:14.) Te have plowed wickedness, 
ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou 
didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thv mightv men. (Hos. 
10:13.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, 
they shak? the head. fPs. 22:7.) I became also a reproach unto them: 
when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. (Ps. 109:25.) All 
that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head 
at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call 
The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? (Lam. 2:15.) 

b. If I regard iniquity in mine heart, the Lord will not hear me: 
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my

d. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the 
gospel of his Son. that without ceasing I make mention of you always 
in my prayers. (Rom. 1:9.) For neither at any time used we flattering 
words, as ve know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness. (I 
Thess. 2:5.)' 

e. Woe unto him that strireth with his Maker! let the potsherd 
strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him 
that fashioneth after it. What makest thou? or thy work. He hath 
no hands? (Is. 45:9.) Xay. hut. O man. who art thou that repliest 
against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why 
hast thou made me thus? (Rom. 9:20.) 

f. As the cloud is consumed and vanish eth away: so he that goeth 
down to the grave shall come up no more. He .shall return no more 
to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. (Job 7:9, 10.) 
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall

Chapter 17'. 

a. For my soul is full of troubles: 3nd my life draweth nigh unto 
the grave. I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am 
as a man that hath no strength. (Ps. SS:3. 1.) 

b. Who are kept bv the power of God through faith unto salvation

'father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, 
and my sister. 

15 And where is now my hope? as for my 
hope, who shall see it? 

16 They shall go down to the bars of the 
pit, when our rest together is in the dust. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 Bddad reproveth Job of presumption and 
impatience. 5 The calamities of the wicked. 

1 Then 'answered Bil'dad the Shu hite, and 
said, 

2 "How long will it be ere ye make an end 
of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. 

3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and 
reputed vile in your sight? 

4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall 
the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the 
rock be removed out of his place? 

5 'Yea, "the light of the wicked shall be 
put out, and the spark of his fire shall not 
shine. 

6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, 
and his candle shall be put out with him. 

7 The steps of his strength shall be strait- 
ened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. 

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, 
and he walketh upon a snare. 

9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and 
the robber shall prevail against him. 

10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, 
and a trap for him in the way. 

11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every 
side, and shall Mrive him to his feet. 

12 "His strength shall be hungerbitten, and 
destruction shall be ready at his side. 

13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: 
even the firstborn °of death shall devour his 
strength. 

14 & His confidence shall be rooted out of 
his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the 
king T of terrors. 

15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because 
it is none of his: 'brimstone c shall be scattered 
upon his habitation*. 

16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and 
above shall his branch be cut off. 

17 'His ^remembrance shall perish from the 
earth, and he shall have no name in the street. 

18 He shall be driven from light into dark- 
ness,, and chased out of the world. 

19 He shall neither have son nor nephew 
among his people, nor any remaining in his 
dwellings. 

20 They that come after him shall be as- 
tonied at his day, as they that went before 
were affrighted. 

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the 
wicked, and this is the place of him that 
e knoweth "not God. 

CHAPTER 19. 
1 Job, complauiing of his friends' cruelty, 
sheweth there is misery enough in him to 



immutable justice, with the convic- 
tion that God would be his surety; 
this enables him to triumph over 
Sheol." 

6. The thought of his physical 
condition suggested to him a family 
likeness to the corruption of the 
grave. 

Ch. 18. B. C. 1520. 

1. In this eh. is recorded Bildad's 
second reply. He continues to up- 
braid Job for his sins, and in a mas- 
terly manner does he paint the doom 
of the miserable sinner and in the 
darkest colors he draws the misfor- 
tune and calamities of Job. 

2. How long will ye hunt for 
words? Consider and afterward we 
will speak. (E. V.) 

3. Vs. 5-21, Bildad teaches the in- 
evitable punishment of incorrigible 
sinners. 

4. Terrors personified shall chase 
him and so close are they after the 
wicked man that they are said to be 
at his heels. 

5. Close to devour him. 

6. Whatever is pre-eminent in the 
scriptures is considered the first-born. 
So here the ehiefest. most deadly 
disease that death has ever engen- 
dered. 

7. Death, whose first-born has done 
its work. 

8. Comparing the calamity of Job 
by the "fire of God" (Job 1:16). to 
the destruction of the guilty Sodom 
and Gomorrah with fire and brim- 
stone. (Gen. 19:24) — "And the Lord 
rained upon Sodom and upon Gomor- 
rah brimstone and fire." 

9. Vs. 17-21, the cutting off of the 
wicked. 

10. A blow at Job's solemn pro- 
testations. (Job 16:19) — "Now be- 
hold my witness is in heaven and my 
record is on high." 

Ch. 19. B. C. 1520. 

1. Job's fifth reply is recorded in 
this ch. Amid a complete wreck of 
his former self, in that darkest of 
all hours, when he has been for- 
saken by his wife, his brethren and 
his friends, and God seems to have 
thrown him overboard, still he . ut- 
ters words of faith that he wishes 
might be inscribed imperisbably — 
and so, indeed, they are. 

2. With indignation Job hurls 
back the reflection in ch. 1S:2. 

3. Used for many times. 

4. That is. prove me guilty if 
you would magnify yourselves. 

5. Vs. 13-20, Job's servants even 
now treat him with contempt. 

6. Job mentions six different 
phases of friendship which has 
turned against him. His brethren, 
his acquaintance, .his kinsmen, his 
familiar friends, the sojourners in 
his house, and his bosom friends. 

7. In the last stages of this dis- 
ease the mouth, tongue and gums are 
affected and filled with ulcers, but 
thus far Job has escaped this af- 
fliction. 

S. Despairing of ever receiving 
justice from his friends now. he 
wishes his words could be preserved, 
imperisbably to posterity — engraved, 
as was customary at that time — at- 
testing his hope of vindication at 
resurrection. 

9. In vs. 25-27 Job voices his con- 
fession of faith which he desires to 
have "printed in a book." 



feed their cruelty. 21, 28 He craveth pity. 
23 He believeth the resurrection. 

1 "Then Job answered and said, 

2 How 2 long will ye vex my soul, and break 
me in pieces with words? 

3 These "ten times have ye reproached me: 
ve are not ashamed that ye make yourselves 
strange to me. 

4 And be it indeed that I have erred, "mine 
error remaineth with myself. 

5 If indeed ye will 6 magnify yourselves 
against me, and *plead against me my re- 
proach : 

6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, 
and hath compassed me with his net. 

7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not 
heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 

8 He hath c fenced up my way that I can- 
not pass, and he hath set darkness in my 
paths. 

9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and 
taken the crown from my head. 

10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and 
I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed 
like a tree. 

11 He hath also kindled his wrath against 
me, and he counteth me unto him as one of 
his enemies. 

12 His troops come together, and raise up 
their way ''against me, and encamp round 
about my tabernacle. 

13 5 He hath put my brethren far from me, 
and mine acquaintance are verily estranged 
from me. 

14 My kinsfolk r have failed, and my famil- 
iar friends have forgotten me. 

15 They that dwell in mine house, and my 
maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien 
in their sight. 

16 I called my servant, and he gave me no 
answer; I intreated him with my mouth. 

17 My breath is strange to my wife, though 
I intreated for the children's sake of mine 
own body. 

18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, 
and they spake against me. 

19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and 
they whom I loved are turned against me. 

20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my 
flesh, and I am escaped with the skin 7 of my 
teeth. 

21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, 
O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath 
touched me. 

22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are 
not satisfied with my flesh? 

23 Oh that my words were now written! 
oh that they were printed in a s book! 

24 That they were graven with an iron pen 
and lead in the rock for ever! 

25 "For tj know that my redeemer liveth, 
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon 
the earth : 



Chapter 18. 

a. But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. (Prov. 13:9.) 
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall he put out in 
obscure darkness. (Prov. 20:20.) The candle of the wicked shall be 
put out. (Prov. 24:20.) 

b. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation 
of the wicked shall perish. (Prov. 10:28.) 

c. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim- 
stone and fire from the Lord out of heaven, (Gen. 19:24.) 

d. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the 
remembrance of them from the earth. (Ps. 34:16.) But the wicked shall 
be cut off from the earth, and the transgressor shall be rooted out of 
it. (Prov. 2:22.) The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of 
the wicked shall rot. (Prov. 10:7.) 

e. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they 
are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from 
evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord. (Jer. 9:3.) Pour 
out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the fam- 
ilies that call not on thy name. (Jer. 10:25.) Not in the lust of con- 
cupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God. (I Thess. 4:5.) 
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and 
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thess. 1:8.) 
Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I 
know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. (Ex. 5:2.) For after 
that in the wisdom of God the w T orld by wisdom knew not God, it 
pleased God bv the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 
(I Cor. 1:21 ) 



Chapter 19. 

a. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret 
faults. (Ps.. 19:12.) Behold, all souls are mine: as the soul of the 
father, so also the soul of the son is mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall 
die. (Ezek. 18:4.) 

b. Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me; when my 
foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. (Ps. 38:16.) Re- 
joice not against me, O mine enemy; when I fall, I shall arise; when 
I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Mic. 7:8.) 

c. He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out; he hath made 
my chain heavy. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my 
prayer. (Lam. 3:7, 8.) Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, 
and whom God hath hedged in? (Job 3:23.) 

d. Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord deliver- 
eth him out of them all. (Ps. 34:19.) 

e. A man that hath friends must show himself friendly; and there 
is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (Prov. 18:24.) Ye are 
my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call 
you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; 
but I have called you friend: for all things that I have heard of my 
Father I have made known unto you. (Jno. 15:14, 15.) 

f. And we know that all things work together for good to them 
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 
(Rom. 8:28.) Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, 
not according to our works, hut according to his own purpose and 
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. 
(II Tim. 1:9.1

26 And though after my skin worms des- 
troy this body, yet Hn my flesh shall I see 
God: 

27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine 
eyes shall behold, and not another; though my 
reins be consumed within me. 

28 10 But ye should say, Why persecute we 
him, seeing the root of the matter is found 
in me? 

29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath 
bringeth the punishments of the sword, that 
ye may know ia there is a judgment. 

CHAPTER 20. 

Zophar sheiueth the state and portion of the 

ivicked. 

1 Then ^answered Zo'phar the Xa'a-math- 
Ite, and said, 

2 ■Therefore G do my thoughts cause me to 
answer, and for this I make haste. 

3 I have heard the check of my reproach. 
and the spirit of my understanding causeth 
me to answer. 

4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man 
was placed upon earth, 

- 5 That the a triumphing of the wicked is 
short, and the joy of the 4 hypocrite but for a 
moment? 

6 Though his ^excellency mount up to the 
heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; 

7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own 
dung: they which have seen him shall say, 
Where is he? 

8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall 
not be found: yea, he shall be chased away 
as a vision of the night. 

9 The eye also which saw him shall see him 
no more; neither shall" his place any more be- 
hold him. 

10 His children shall seek to please the poor, 
and his hands shall restore their goods. 

11 His bones are full of the sin of his 
youth, which shall lie down with him in the 
dust. 

12 Though wickedness be ; sweet in his 
mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; 

13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; 
but keep it still within his mouth: 

14 Yet his meat T in his bowels is s turned, 
it is the gall of asps within him. 

15 He hath 6 swallowed down riches, and he 
shall vomit them up again : God shall cast 
them out of his belly. 

16 He shall suck the poison cf asps: the 
viper's tongue shall slay him. 

17 He shall not see the ^rivers, the floods, 
the brooks of honey and butter. 

18 That which he laboured for shall he re- 
store, and shall not swallow it down: accord- 
ing to his substance shall the restitution be, 
and he shall not rejoice therein. 



1". Id ts. 2S. 29. Job's faith be- 
comes so strong that he ceases to be 
supplicant for pity and warns his 
persecutors to beware and not to 
provoke the wrath of heaven. 



11. Dillmann says. "If there were 
no other argument for a life to come, 
sin would furnish one never to be 
refuted: the incomplete punishment 
of sin in this life necessitates a 
future life." 



Ch. 20. B. C. 15:0. 



1. Worsted in argument. Job's an- 
tagonists allow themselves to be 
graded on to greater exasperation, 
rather than to be won to sympathy; 
and in this address Zophar intends 
to teach Job that, instead of talk- 
ing so piously, he had much better 
give himself to repentance. 

1. Vs. 2-5. the triumph of the 
wicked is but for a moment. 



Eecause of what thou hast 



4. The ungodly Zophar would hurl 
at Job that his boasted triumphant 
faith is but the triumphing of the 
wicked and therefore of short dura- 
tion. 

5. His exultation. 

6. Though sin be sweet to the 
taste ii. e.. the passioni. it is dead- 
ly to the vitals of life. (Prov. 2>:17i 
— "Bread of deceit is sweet to a 
man: but afterward his mouth shall 
be filled with gravel." 



7. That is. the wickedness upon 
which he has fed his passions. 

S. Changed into poison. 

9. Hivers and brooks are used as 
symbols of prosperity in the East. 

10. Heaven and earth combine to 
make certain the doom of the 
wicked. 

Ch. 21. B. C. 1520. 

1. Job's sixth reply — his second 
answer to Zophar. The three friends 
who have been upbraiding and con- 
demning Job. adhered to the last 
to their main propositions — that the 
wicked are punished in this life. For 
the first time Job meets this issue 
face to face, devoting his entire an- 
swer to its consideration, and conclu- 
sively shows that the punishment of 
the wicked is in the next life. 

2. As ye have no other comfort or 
solace to give, at least yield me the 
consolation of an attentive listening. 

3. In vs. 7-16. though the wicked 
constantly defy God, he prospers 
them unto Sheol. 



19 Because he hath c oppressed and hath for- 
saken the poor; because he hath violently 
taken away an house which he builded not; 

20 Surety he shall not d feel quietness in his 
belly, he shall not save of that which he de- 
sired. 

21 There shall none of his meat be left; 
therefore shall no man look for his goods. 

22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall 
be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall 
come upon him. 

23 1J When he is about to fill his belly, God 
shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, 
and shall rain it upon him c while he is eating. 

24 He shall fflee from the iron weapon, and 
the bow of steel shall strike him through. 

25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; 
yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his 
gall : terrors are upon him. 

26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret 
places : a fire not blown shall consume him ; 
it shall go ill with him that is left in his tab- 
ernacle. 

27 The heaven ^shall reveal his iniquity; 
and the earth shall rise up against him. 

28 The increase of his house shall depart, 
and his goods shall flow away in the day of 
his wrath. 

29 This Ms the portion of a wicked man 
from God, and the heritage appointed unto 
him bv God. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 Job sheiveth that even in the judgment of 
man he hath reason to be grieved. 7 Some- 
times the wicked do so prosper, as they de- 
spise God. 27 Tht judgment of the ivicked 
is in another world. 

1 ; But Job answered and said, 

2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this 
be your ^consolations. 

3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after 
that I have spoken, mock on. 

4 As for me, is my "complaint to man? and 
if it were so, why should not my spirit be 
troubled? 

5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your 
hand upon your mouth. 

6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and 
trembling taketh hold on my flesh. 

7 3 Wherefore Mo the wicked live, become 
old, yea, are mighty in power? 

8 Their seed is established in their sight 
with them, and their offspring before their 
eyes. 

9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither 
is the rod of God upon them. 

10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; 
their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. 

11 They send forth their little ones like a 
flock, and their children dance. 



g. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be 
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. (Ps. 17:15.) For now we 
see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in 
part: but then shall I know even as also I am known. (I Cor. 13:12.) 
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what 
we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, "we shall be like 
him: for we shall see him as be is. (I John 3:2.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself 
like a green bay tree. Tet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; yea, 
I sought him, but he could not be found. (Ps. 37:35, 36.) 

b. Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was 
condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of 
silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I 
have betrayed the innocent blood. And thev said, What is that to us? 
see thou to that. (Mat. 27:3, 4.) 

c. Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the af- 
flicted in the gate; For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the 
soul of those that spoiled them. (Prov. 22:22. 23.) Give to him that 
asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou 
away. (Mat. 5:42.) 

d. There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, 
riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. (Ecc. 5:13.) Thou 
fool, this night thy soul shall be renuired of thee: then whose shall 
those things be. which thou hast provided? (Luke 12:20.) 

e. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was 
chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled aeainst.the people: and 
the Lord smote the people with a very areat plague. (Num. 11:33) 
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was vet 



The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the 
and smote down the chosen men of Israel. (Ps. 



in their mouths 
fattest of them, 
78:30, 31.) 

f. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of 
the fear shall fall into the pit: and he that cometh up out of the midst 
of the pit shall be taken in the snare. (Is. 24:18.) As if a man did 
flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and 
leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. (Amos 5:19.) 

g. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the in- 
habitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose 
her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. (Is. 26:21.) Gather unto 
me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak 
these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against 
them. (Dt. 31:28.) 

h. For what portion of God is there from above? And what inheri- 
tance of the Almighty from on high? Is not destruction to the wicked? 
and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? (Job 31:2, 3.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. My God. my God. why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou 
so far from helping me. and from the words of my roaring? O my God. 
I crv in the davtime. but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and 
am not silent. (Ps. 22:1. 2.) 

b. Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee; yet let me 
talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked 
prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 
Thou hast planted them, yea. they have taken root; they grow. yea. 
they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their 
range. But thou. O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me. and tried 
mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and 
prepare them for the day of slaughter. (Jer. 12:1-3.)

12 They take the "timbrel and "harp, and 
rejoice at the sound of the "organ. 

13 They spend their days in wealth, and in 
a moment go down to the grave. 

14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart 
from us; for we desire not the knowledge of 
thy ways. 

15 What c is the Almighty, that we should 
serve him? and what profit should we have, 
if we pray unto him? 

16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the 
counsel of the wicked is far from me. 

17 How T oft is the ^candle of the wicked 
put out! and how oft cometh their destruction 
upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his 
anger. 

18 They are as stubble before the wind, and 
as chaff that the storm ''carrieth away. 

19 God layeth up ^his iniquity for his chil- 
dren: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. 

20 His eyes shall s see his destruction, and 
he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 

21 For what pleasure hath he in his house 
after him, when the number of his months is 
cut off in the midst? 

22 Shall any teach God "knowledge? seeing 
he judgeth those that are high. 

23 One dieth in his full strength, being 
wholly at ease and quiet. 

24 His breasts are full of milk, and his 
bones are moistened with marrow. 

25 And another dieth in the bitterness of 
his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. 

26 They shall lie down "alike in the dust, 
and the worms shall cover them. 

27 1( 'Behold, I know your thoughts, and the 
devices which ye wrongfully imagine" against 
me. 

28 For ye say, Where is the house of the 
prince? and where are the dwelling places 
of the wicked? 

29 Have ye not asked them that go by the 
way? and do ye not know their tokens, 

30 That the ''wicked is reserved to the day 
of destruction? they shall be brought forth 
to the day of wrath. 

31 "Who shall declare his way to his face? 
and who shall repay him what he hath done? 

32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, 
and shall remain in the tomb. 

33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet 
unto him, and every man shall draw after 
him, as there are innumerable before him. 

34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing 
in your answers there remaineth falsehood? 



4. A small hand drum, i. e., one 
beaten with the hands. 

5. Supposed to be a lyre, the ear- 
liest invented musical instrument. 
(Gen. -1:21) — "And his brother's 
name was Jubal; he was the father 
o£ all such as handle the harp and 
organ." 

6. A wind instrument, probably 
the pipe. 

7. A question in the sense of 
doubt, meaning not often. 

S. Job continues to answer the 
theory of substitution and that it is 
right that the parent, not the child, 
should see destruction. 

9. Job's reply: "In all these as- 
sertions you try to teach God how he 
ought to teach men, rather than 
prove that he does in fact so deal 
with them." 

10. In vs. 27-34, Job gives the 
report of travelers that the punish- 
ment of the wicked is held in abey- 
ance. 

11. In vs. 31-34, Job declares the 
doom of the wicked to be sure, 
though he rises above accountability 
to man in lite and is honored by 
man in death. 

Ch. 22. B. C. 1520. 

1. In this ch. Eliphaz delivers his 
third address, and is still maintain- 
ing that God punishes not for his own 
profit nor for the sake of human piety, 
but on account of sin, therefore an 
infinite sufferer must necessarily be 
an infinite sinner. In answering 
Job's doctrine that the wicked pros- 
per, he makes the discussion personal 
and charges Job with the guilt of op- 
pression and cruelty to the weak and 
defenseless. Therefore that Job 
should suffer was the result of his 
sins, demonstrating the fact that the 
wicked are punished in this life. 

2. Vs. 2-11, the bill of accusa- 
tions. 

3. He ironically asks if God pun- 
ishes Job, to thus disarm him 
through fear. 

4. No end to thine iniquities or 
sins. 

5. Eliphaz now accuses Job of 
those sins generally ascribed to wick- 
ed men of wealth. 

6. Our failure to do becomes a 
sin as well as wrongdoing. (Mat. 
25:42. 43) — "For I was an hungered 
and ye gave me no meat, I was 
thirsty and ye gave me no drink; I 
was a stranger and ye took me not 
in; naked and ye clothed me not; 
sick and in prison and ye visited me 
not." 

'7. Vs. 12-20, Eliphaz declares that 
the fate of the antediluvians, should 
be a warning to Job. 

8. Wilt thou keep? 

9. Arrested by death. 

10. In vs. 21-30, repentance will 
insure restoration in the divine favor. 



CHAPTER 22. 

1 Eliphaz sheweth that man's goodness prof- 
iteth not God. 5 He accuseth Job of divers 
sins. 21 He exhorteth him to repentance, 
with promises of mercy. 

1 ^hen El'i-phaz the Te'man-ite answered 
and said, 

2 2 Can a a man be profitable unto God, as he 
that is wise may be profitable unto himself? 

3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that 
thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that 
thou makest thy ways perfect? 

4 Will he 3 reprove thee for fear of thee? 
will he enter with thee into judgment? 

5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine 
"'iniquities infinite? 

6 5 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy 
brother for nought, and stripped the naked 
of their clothing. 

7 Thou hast not given "water Ho the weary 
to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from 
the hungry. 

8 But as for the mighty man, he had the 
earth ; and the honourable man dwelt in it. 

9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and 
the arms of the fatherless have been broken. 

10 Therefore snares are round about thee, 
and sudden iear troubleth thee; 

11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; 
and abundance of waters cover thee. 

12 7 Is not God in c the height of heaven? 
and behold the height of the stars, how high 
they are! 

13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? 
can he judge through the dark cloud? 

14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that 
he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of 
heaven. 

15 Hast thou marked the s old <*way which 
wicked men have trodden? 

16 Which were cut "down out of time, whose 
foundation was overflown with a flood: 

17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: 
and what can the Almighty do for them? 

18 Yet he filled e their houses with good 
things: but the counsel of the wicked is far 
from me. 

19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and 
the innocent laugh them to scorn. 

20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, 
but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. 

21 I0 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be 
at fpeace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 



c. Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? 
I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. (Ex. 5:2.) 

d. Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of 
his fire sball not shine. The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and 
his candle shall be put out with him. (Job 18:5, 6.) 

e. The ungodly are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind 
driveth away. (Ps. 1:4.) Let them be as chaff before the wind; and 
let the angel of the Lord chase them. (Ps. 35:5.) The nations shall 
rush like the rushing of many waters; but God shall rebuke them, and 
they -shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains 
before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. (Is. 
17:13.) Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust 
and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth 
away; yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. (Is. 29:5.) Therefore 
they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth 
away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, 
and as the smoke out of the chimney. (Hos. 13:3.) 

f. In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten 
a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. (Jer. 31:29.) 
What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, 
saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are 
set on edge? (Bzek. 18:2.) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 
nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the 
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth 
generation of them that hate me. (Ex. 20:5.) 

g. All things come alike to all; there is one event to the righteous, 
and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; 
to him that sacrificeth, and to him that saerificeth not; as is the good, 
so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. 
(Ecc. 9:2.) 

h. The Lord hath made all things for himself; yea, even the wicked 
for the day of evil. (Prov. 16:4.) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the 
godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of 
judgment to be punished. (II Pet. 2:9.) This is the portion of a wicked 
man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. (Job 
20:29.) 



Chapter 22. 

a. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord; 
my goodness extendeth not to thee. (Ps. 16:2.) So likewise ye, when 
ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say. We 
are unprofitable servants; we have done that which was our duty to do. 
(Luke 17:10.) 

b. If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused 
the eyes of the widow to fail; Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, 
and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof. (Job 31:16, 17.) Withhold 
not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine 
hand to do it. (Prov. 3:27.) Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, 
and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou 
seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself 
from thine own flesh. (Is. 58:7.) And whosoever shall give to drink 
unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a 
disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. 
(Mat. 10:42.) As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a 
far country. (Prov. 25:25.) 

c. The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; where 
is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? 
(Is. 66:1.) But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven 
and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house 
that I have builded? (I Ks. 8:27.) 

d. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled 
with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was 
corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God 
said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth 
is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them 
with the earth. (Gen. 6:11-13.) 

e. Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down; deliver my soul 
from the wicked, which is thy sword; Prom men which are thine hand. 
O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, 
and whose belly thou fillest with thine hid treasure; they are full of 
children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. (Ps. 
17:13, 14.) 

f. Or let him take' hold of my strength, that he may make peace 
with me; and he shall make peace with me. (Is. 27:5.) Therefore being

22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his 
mouth, and lay up his Swords in thine heart. 

23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou 
shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity 
far from thy tabernacles. 

24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and 
the gold of O'phir as the stones of the brooks. 

25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy ^defence, 
and thou shalt have "Aplenty of silver. 

26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in 
the Almightv. and shalt lift up thy face unto 
God. 

27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, 
and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy 
vows. 

28 Thou shalt also ''decree a thing, and it 
shall be established unto thee: and the light 
shall shine upon thy ways. 

29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt 
say, There is lifting up; and he shall save 
•the humble person. 

30 He shall deliver the island of the inno- 
cent: and it is delivered by the pureness of 
thine hands. 

CHAPTER 23. 
1 Job longeth to appear before God, 6 in 
confidence of his mercy. 8 God, who is in- 
visible, observeth our tcays. 11 Job's in- 
nocency. 

1 : Then J5b answered and said, 

2 "Even to day is my complaint bitter: my 
stroke is heavier than my groaning. 

3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! 
that I might come even to his i seat! 

4 I would order my cause before him, and 
fill my mouth with arguments. 

5 I would know the words which he would 
answer me, and understand what he would 
say unto me. 

6 'Will a he plead against me with his great 
power? Xo; but he would put strength in me. 

7 There the righteous might dispute with 
him; so should I be delivered for ever from 
my judge. 

8 Behold, 6 I go forward, but he is not there; 
and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 

9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but 
I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the 
right hand, that I cannot see him: 

10 "But he knoweth c the way that I take: 
when ^he hath tried me, I shall come forth 
as gold. 

11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have 
I kept, and not declined. 

12 Neither have I gone back from the com- 
mandment of his lips; I have esteemed the

12. Silver of strength. 
Ch. 23. B. C. 1520. 



1. In ehs. 23 and 24. is recorded 
Job's seventh reply. Eliphaz has 
been exhorting Job to prayer and 
holy living. In reply Job answers 
that the trouble is not upon his part 
but that he cannot find God; he has 
been hunting for him north, south, 
east and west, and it seems that God 
is hiding from him, lest by hearing 
his cause, love of righteousness 
would force him to absolve Job. The 
thought that, if he could secure a 
trial, he would come forth thoroughly 
vindicated, buoys Job up to almost 
superhuman endurance. 



2. Indicating

lEwald.) 



that the debate has 
m for many days. 



3. Might present his case to the 
throne of God. From the false ac- 
cusation of his friends. Job again 
makes a direct appeal to God. 



4. God would put strength in him, 
as in Jacob's case. 



5. Vs. 10-13. Job expresses abso- 
lute confidence in the purposes of 
God. 



6. God is one mind always, un- 
changeable. 



Faint. 



S. Terri_eth me. 
Ch. 24. B. C. 1520. 



1. In this ch. Jrb seems to be pos- 
| scssed with the thought that God 
winks at evil and prospers the wick- 
ed — the problem of the mystery of 
evil. 



2. Remove the boundary between 
good and evil. Such is the emotion 
of Job's heart, that he feels the wick- 
ed are set free without bounds. 



Support. 



5. In vs. 9-12. the fact that Tob f 
feels that God has hidden himself 
from him causes him to think that 
God likewise is hidden from the cry 
of the power everywhere. 

6. Vs. 13-17, foul deeds seek the ; 
night. ' 



words of his mouth more than my necessary 
food. 

13 But he is in one 'mind, and w r ho can turn 
him? and what his soul desireth, even that he 
doeth. 

14 For he performeth the thing that is 
-appointed for me: and many such things are 
with him. 

15 Therefore am I ^troubled at his presence: 
when I consider, I am afraid of him. 

16 For God maketh my heart 7 soft, and the 
Almighty 'troubleth me: 

17 Because I was not cut off before the 
darkness, neither hath he covered the dark- 
ness from my face. 

CHAPTER 24. 

1 Wickedness goeth often unpunished. 17 

There is a secret judgment for the wicked. 

1 ] Why, seeing "times are not hidden from 
the Almighty, do they that know him not see 
his days? 

2 Some remove J the "landmarks; they vio- 
lently take away flocks, and feed thereof. 

3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, 
they °take the widow's ox for a pledge. 

4 They turn the needy out of the way: d the 
poor of the earth hide themselves together. 

5 Behold, as wild 3 asses in the desert, go 
they forth to their work; rising betimes for a 
4 prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them 
and for their children. 

6 They reap every one his corn in the field: 
and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 

7 They f cause the naked to lodge without 
clothing, that they have no covering in the 
cold. 

8 They are wet with the showers of the 
mountains, and embrace the rock for want of 
a shelter. 

9 "They pluck the fatherless from the breast, 
and take a pledge of the poor. 

10 They cause him to go naked without 
clothing, and they take away the sheaf from 
the hungry; 

11 Which make oil within their walls, and 
tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. 

12 Men groan from out of the city, and the 
soul of the wounded crieth out: fyet God lay- 
eth not folly to them. 

13 'They are of those that rebel against the 
light; they know not the ways thereof, nor 
abide in the paths thereof. 

14 The murderer rising with the light kill- 
eth the poor and needy, and" in the night is 
as a thief. 

15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for 



justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus 
Christ. (Rom. 5:i.) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and 
hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us. (Eph. 2:14.) 
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, 
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Jno. 17:3.) 

g. Thv word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against 
thee. (Ps. 119:11.) 

h. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be 
established. (Prov. 16:3.) 

i. Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; 
but the proud he knoweth afar off. (Ps. 13S:6.) Surely he scorneth 
the scorners; but he giveth grace unto the lowly. (Prov. 3:34.) But he 
giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but 
siiveth grace unto the humble. (Js. 4:6.) Yea, all of you be subject 
one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the 
proud, and giveth grace to the humble. (I Pet. 5:5.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth : 
for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 
(Is. 57:16.) 

b. Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not; he passeth on also, but 
I perceive him not. (Job 9:11.) Who only hath immortality, dwelling 
in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man" hath seen, 
nor can see. (I Tim. 6:16.) 

c. O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou fcuowest 
my down-sitting and mine up-rising, thou understandest my thought 
afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art 
acquainted with all my ways. fPs. 139:1-3.) 

d. Thou hast proved mine heart: thou hast visited me in the night; 
thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing: I am purposed that my 
mouth shall not transgress. (Ps. 17:3.1 Blessed is- the man that 
endureth temptation: for when be is tried, he shall receive the crown of 
life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. (Js. 1:12.) 
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold 



that perisheth. though it he tried with fire, might be found unto praise 
and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 1:7.) And 
that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every mo- 
ment? (Job 7:18.) O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end: 
but establish the just; for the righteous God trieth the hearts and 
reins. (Ps. 7:9.) The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him 
that loveth violence his soul hateth. (Ps. 11:5.) 

e. That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for your- 
selves know that we are appointed thereunto. (I Thes. 3:3.) So am 1 
made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed 
to me. (Job 7:3.) 

f. Mt flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy 
judgments. (Ps. 119:120.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the 
Father hath put in his own power. (Acts 1:7.) 

b. Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they of 
old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the 
land that the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it. (Dt. 19:14.) Re- 
move not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the father- 
less. (Prov. 23:10.) 

c. "When thou dost lend thv brother any thing, thou shalt not gc 
into his house to fetch his pled'ge (1(1). And if the man be poor, thou 
shalt not sleep with his pledge (12). Thou shalt not pervert the judg- 
ment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raimenl 
to pledge. (Dt. 24:10, 12, 17.) If thou at all take thy neighbor's rai- 
ment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth 
down. (Ex. 22:26.) 

d. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they per- 
ish, the righteous increase. (Prov. 2S:28.) 

e. And- if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge. 
(Dt. 24:12.) 

f. Because sentence against ah evil work is not executed speed' ly, 
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and 
disguisetn his face. 

16 In the dark they dig through houses, 
which they had marked for themselves in the 
daytime: #they know not the light. 

17 For the morning is to them even as the 
shadow of death: if one knows them, they are 
in the terrors of the shadow of death. 

18 He is swift as the waters; their portion 
is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the 
ivay of the vineyards. 

19 Drought and heat consume the snow 
waters: so doth the grave those which have 
sinned. 

20 The womb shall forget him; the worm 
'shall feed sweetly on him; 7l he shall be no 
more remembered; and wickedness shall be 
broken as a tree. 

21 He evil entreateth the barren that bear- 
eth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 

22 He draweth also the mighty with his 
power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of 
life. 

23 Though it be given him to be in safety, 
whereon he resteth; yet his s eyes are upon 
their ways. 

24 They are exalted *for a little while, but 
are gone and brought low; they are taken 
out of the way as all other, and cut off as the 
tops of the ears of corn. 

25 And if it be not so now, who will make 
me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? 

CHAPTER 25. 

Bildad sheweth that man cannot be justified 

before God. 

1 'Then answered BiTdad the Shu'hite, and 
said, 

2 Dominion and fear are with him, he mak- 
eth ^peace in his high places. 

3 Is there any number of his armies? and 
upon whom doth not °his light arise? 

4 How 6 then can man be justified with God? 
or how can he be, clean that is born of a 
woman ? 

5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth 
not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 

6 How much less man, that is a worm? and 
the son of man, which is a worm? 

CHAPTER 26. 
1 Job, reproving the uncharitable spirit of 
Bildad, 5 acknoivledgeth the power of God 
to be unsearchable. 

1 'But Job answered and said, 

2 2 How hast thou "helped him that is s with- 
out power? how savest thou the arm that hath 
no strength? 



7. The grave is welcome. 
S. That is, God's eyes. 
Ch. 25. B. C. 1520. 

1. In the sis verses of ch. 25, 
is recorded Bildad's third and last 
reply, in which he only seeks to 
scorn the idea that Job, born in cor- 
ruption, could dare or hope to meet 
Jehovah and plead his cause as he 
expresses his desire to do. (Ch. 23.) 

2. A glimpse into the future 
world, peace and tranquillity estab- 
lished among the heavenly hosts. 

Ch, 26. B. C. 1520. 

1. In ch. 26, is recorded Job's 
eighth reply. In this address Job 
reaches his climax in declaring God 
triumphant over all evil, which is the 
might and glory of God. 

2. In vs. 2-4, Job administers a 
sharp rebuke to Bildad. 

3. In vs. 5-14, Job gives a won- 
derful description of the majesty and 
glory of God. 

4. A figure of the day, commonly 
used to intensify the terrors of sheol 
by declaring that it extended beneath 
and through the seas and was in- 
fested with the sea-monsters. 

5. The holding of the waters sus- 
pended in the heavens was to Job a 
manifestation of divine power. 

6. The popular idea that the 
mountains were pillars supporting 
the heavens is here used fig. by Job, 
as is evidenced from v. 7. 

7. Thunder, which was often called 
"The voice of God." (Ps. 104:7)— 
"At thy rebuke they fled', at the 
voice of thy thunder they hastened 
away." 

Ch. 27. B. C. 1520. 

1. In ch. 27 and 28 is recorded 
Job's ninth and final address to his 
friends and his triumph over their 
false accusations. After Job finishes 
his eighth address, he pauses for an 
answer, but his accusers have been 
silenced and again he makes a most 
solemn appeal to God; again he takes 
up the discussion concerning the 
prosperity of the wicked, declaring 
it to be only apparent and transient. 
Throughout this address he adheres 
to the belief that there will be a 
future adjustment concerning sin and 
also that it should receive a measure 
of retribution in this life. 

2. Vs. 2-10, Job assumes the oath 
of his innocence, fully conscious of 
the gravity of such an action, as no 
one who enjoyed his religious expe' 
rience could be as the wicked. 

3. That is, by the living God. 

4. His integrity, which his 
friends had denied because of his 
misfortunes. 

5. That is, conscience. 

6. That is, they must be as the 
wicked sentiments which they have 
expressed. 



3 How hast thou counselled him that hath 
no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully de- 
clared the thing as it is? 

4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and 
whose spirit came from thee? 

5 3 Dead things are formed from 4 under the 
waters, and the inhabitants thereof. 

6 Hell c is naked before him, and destruction 
hath no covering. 

7 He stretcheth out the north over the emp- 
ty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 

8 5 He bindeth up the waters in his thick 
clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 

9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, 
and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 

10 He hath ^compassed the waters with 
bounds, until the day and night come to an 
end. 

11 The pillars of "heaven tremble and are 
astonished at his 'reproof. 

12 He divideth the sea with his power, and 
by his understanding he smiteth through the 
proud. 

13 By e his spirit he hath garnished the 
heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked 
serpent. 

14 Lo, these are parts of his ways : but how 
little a portion is heard of him? but the thun- 
der of his power who can understand? 

CHAPTER 27. 
1 Job protesteth his sincerity. 8 The hypo- 
crite is without hope. 11 The blessings 
which the wicked have are turned into 
curses. 

1 'Moreover Job continued his parable, and 
said, 

2 2 As 3 God liveth, who hath taken away my 
judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed 
my soul; 

3 All the while my breath is in me, and the 
spirit of God is in my nostrils; 

4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor 
my tongue utter deceit. 

5 God forbid that I should justify you : till 
I die °I will not remove "mine integrity from 
me. 

6 My righteousness I 6 hold fast, and will not 
let it go: c my heart r 'shall not reproach me so 
long as I live. 

7 Let mine enemy be s as the wicked, and he 
that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 

8 For what <*is the hope of the hypocrite, 
though he hath gained, when God taketh away 
his soul? 

9 Will God hear his cry when trouble Com- 
eth e upon him? 



g. Every one that doeth evil bateth the light, neither cometh to 
the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (Jno. 3:20.) 

h. The memory of the just is blessed; but the name of the wicked 
shall rot. (Prov. 10:7.) Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast 
destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 

thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end; and thou 
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. (Ps. 
9:5, 6.) 

i. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself 
like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; yea, 

1 sought him, but he could not be found. (Ps. 37:35, 36.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; 
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth 
rain on the just and on the unjust. (Mat. 5:25.). Every good gift and 
every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of 
lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js. 
1:17.) 

b. Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more 
pure than his Maker? (Job 4:17.) What is man, that he should be 
clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 
(Job 15:14.) If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall 
stand? (Ps. 130:3.) And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for 
in thy sight shall no man living be justified. (Ps. 143:2.) I know it is 
so of a truth; but how should man be just with God? (Job 9:2.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. 
(Prov. 25:11.) 

b. What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, 
that I should prolong my life? Is my strength the strength of stones? 
or is my flesh of brass? (Job 6:11, 12.) 

c. Hell and destruction are before the Lord; how much more then 
the hearts of the children of men? (Prov. 15:11.) Neither is there any 
creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and 
opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 



d. Fear ye not me? saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my pres- 
ence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a per- 
petual decree, that it cannot pass it; and though the waves thereof 
toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can 
they not pass over it? (Jer. 5:22.) 

e. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the 
host of them by the breath of his mouth. (Ps. 33:6.) 

Chapter 27. 

a. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him; but I will maintain 
mine own ways before him. (Job 13:15.) 

b. The Lord said unto Satan, hast thou considered my servant Job, 
that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, 
one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his 
integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him with- 
out cause. (Job 2:3.) 

c. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience 
void of offence toward God, and toward men. (Acts 24:16.) Men and 
brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 
(Acts 23:1.) 

d. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, 
and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his 
soul? (Mat. 16:26.) None of them can by any means redeem his 
brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: (For the redemption of their 
soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever). (Ps. 49:7, 8.) 

e. They cried, but there was none to save them; even unto the 
Lord, but he answered them not. (Ps. 18:41.) Then shall they call 
upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they 
shall not find me. (Prcv. 1:28.) Then shall they cry unto the Lord, 
but he will not hear them. (Mic. 3:4.) There they cry, but none giveth 
answer, because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not hear 
vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. (Job 35:12, 13.) And when 
ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when 
ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood. 
(Is, 1:15.)

10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? 
will he always call upon God? 

11 T I will teach you by the hand of God: 
that which is with the Almighty will I not con- 
ceal. 

12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; 
why then are ye thus altogether 6 vain? 

13 This is the portion of a wicked man with 
God, and the heritage of oppressors, which 
they shall receive of the Almighty. 

14 If ^his children be multiplied, it is for 
the ''sword: and his offspring shall not be sat- 
isfied with bread. 

15 Those that remain of him shall be buried 
in death : and ''his widows shall not weep. 

16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, 
and prepare raiment as the clay; 

17 He may prepare it, but ''the just shall 
put .it on, and the innocent shall divide the 
silver. 

18 He buildeth his house as 10 a moth, and as 
a booth that the keeper maketh. 

19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall 
not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he 
is not. 

20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a 
tempest stealeth him away in the night. 

21 The east wind carrieth him away, and 
he departeth : and as a storm hurleth him out 
of his place. 

22 For God shall cast upon him, and not 
spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 

23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and 
shall hiss him out of his place. 

CHAPTER 28. 

1 There is .a knowledge of natural things. 

12 But wisdom is an excellent gift of God. 

1 Purely there is a vein "for the silver, and 
a place for gold where they fine it. 

2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass 
is molten out of the stone. 

3 a He setteth an end to darkness, and 
: searcheth out all perfection : the stones of 
darkness, and the shadow of death. 

4 The flood breaketh out from the inhab- 
itant: even the waters forgotten of the *foot: 
they are dried up, they are gone away from 
men. 

5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: 
and under it is turned up as it were fire. 

6 The stones of it are the place of sap- 
phires: and it hath dust of gold. 

7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, 
and which the vulture's eye hath not seen : 

8 The lion's 'whelps have not trodden it, 
nor the fierce lion passed by it. 

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; 
he overturheth the mountains by the roots. 



7. In vs. 11-23, Job expresses his 
views concerning the punishment of 
the wicked in this lite and their 
doom in the life to come. 

8. False use of truth. 

9. Calamity bangs over the home 
of the wicked. 

10. The wicked riseth upon the 
ruin they produce. 

Ch. 28. B. C. 1520. 

1. Job's discourse on wisdom, in 
this ch., is worthy of comparison with 
Paul's panegyric of charity. (I Cor. 
13.) From the deep mysteries sur- 
rounding the punishments of the 
wicked, expressed in ch. 27, he passes 
to a discussion of divine wisdom 
whose ways are unsearchable. 

2. "For" links the present ch. to 
the last 10 vs. of eh. 27. 

3. The miner. 

4. An expression used like "Let 
my right hand forget her cunning," 
to express temporary disability. 

5. Lit., sons of pride. 

6. Vs. 12-22. Job applies his pre- 
ceding descriptions to wisdom. 

7. Used comprehensively to ex- 
press both intellectual and moral 
qualities. 

S. Man knows not the value of 
wisdom. 

9. One of the most precious gems, 
ranging in color from a wine-yellow 
to a carnation red, lilac or pale 
green. A single topaz has been 
known to sell for more than $1,000,- 
000.00. 

10. Job repeats this question, en- 
deavoring to force a reply from his 
accusers. 

11. Vs. 23-28, wisdom is of God. 

12. The laws of nature. 

13. Then the day of creation. 

14. Unto Adam. 

15. Fear, the mother of foresight. 
Ch. 29. B. C. 1520. 

1. Again Job pauses for a reply 
from his accusers, but receives none. 
He continues in the next three chs. 
to discourse with himself concerning 
the unsearchable ways of God. He 
takes a retrospective view of prosper- 
ity arising to the conception that 
God's favor is in itself a sufficient 
reward and is the greatest blessing 
to be desired, which makes a very 
material development in Job's spirit- 
ual insight and growth of faith. 

2. Job now proceeds to illustrate 
by his own case the mysteriousness 
of God's dealings, as set forth in 
ch. 28. 

3. From calamity, as in former 
days. 

4. Job here declares the blessings 
of children to be next to that of 
God. 



10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; 
and his eye seeth every precious thing. 

11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; 
and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to 
light. 

12 "But where shall 7 wisdom be found? and 
where is the place of understanding? 

13 Man knoweth not the 6 price "thereof; 
neither is it found in the land of the living. 

14 The 'depth saith, It is not in me: and 
the sea saith, It is not with me. 

15 It ^cannot be gotten for gold, neither 
shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. 

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of 
O'phir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. 

17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: 
and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels 
of fine gold. 

18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of 
pearls : for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 

19 The "topaz of E-thi-o'pi-a shall not equal 
it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 

20 Whence then cometh '"wisdom? and 
where is the place of understanding? 

21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all liv- 
ing, and kept close from the fowls of the air. 

22 Destruction and death say, We have 
heard the fame thereof with our ears. 

23 "God c understandeth the way thereof, 
and he knoweth the place thereof. 

24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, 
and f seeth under the whole heaven; 

25 To make "the weight for the winds; and 
he weigheth the waters by measure. 

26 When he made a decree 12 for the rain, 
and a way for the lightning of the thunder: 

27 Then 13 did he see it, and declare it; he 
prepared it, yea, and searched it out. 

28 And ''unto "man he said, Behold, the fear 
15 of 'the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart 
from evil is understanding. 

CHAPTER 29. 

Job bemoaneth his former prosperity and 

honour. 

1 Moreover J5b continued his parable, and 
said, 

2 2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in 
the days when God ^p reserved me; 

3 When his candle shined upon my head, 
and when by his light I walked through dark- 
ness; 

4 As I was in the days of my youth, when 
the secret of "God was upon my tabernacle; 

5 When the Almighty was yet with me, 
when my "children were about me; 

6 When & I washed my steps with butter, and 
the rock poured me out rivers of oil; 



f. The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of 
the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand. (Esth. 
9:10.) 

g. Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamen- 
tation. (Ps. 78:64.) 

h. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he 
shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. (Prov. 28:8.) For God 
giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and 
joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that 
he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and 
vexation of spirit. (Ecc. 2:26.) A good man leaveth an inheritance to 
his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the 
just: (Prov. 13:22.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. Then I saw that wisdom exeelleth folly, as far as light excelleth 
darkness. (Ecc. 2:13.) 

b. She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst 
desire are not to be compared unto her. (Prov. 3:15.) 

c. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of 
God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding 
' of. fRom. 11:33.) 

d. Receive my instruction, and not silver: and knowledge rather 
than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies: and all the things 
that may be desired are not to be compared to it. (Prov. 8:10, 11.) How 
much better is it to get wisdom than gold? and to get understanding 
rather to be chosen than silver. (Prov. 16:16.) 

e. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the 
world. (Acts 15 :1S. ) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest 
in his sight. (Heb. 4:13.) 

f. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and 
the good. (Prov. 15:3.) For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he 
Beetb. all his goings. (Job 34:21.) For mine eyes are upon all their 



ways; they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from 
mine eyes. (Jer. 16:17.) Neither is there any creature that is not mani- 
fest in his sight. (Heb. 4:13.) 

g. He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he 
maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treas- 
uries. (Ps. 135:7.) 

h. The secret things belong unto the Lord our God; but those things 
which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that 
we may do all the words of this lav/. (Dt. 29:29.) And that from a 
child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee 
wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (II Tim. 
3:15.) 

i. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your 
understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these 
statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding 
people. (Dt. 4:6.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a 
good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his 
praise endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) The fear of the Lord is the be- 
ginning of knowledge. (Prov. 1:7.) The fear of the Lord is the begin- 
ning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Prov. 
9:10.) A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil. (Prov. 14:16.) The 
fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom. (Prov. 15:33.) 

Chapter 29. 

a. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will 
show them his covenant. (Ps. 25:14.) For the frowajd is abomination 
to the Lord; but his secret is with the righteous. (Prov. 3:32.) If any 
man will do his will he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of 
God, or whether I speak of myself. (Jno. 7:17.) For God, who com- 
manded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, 
to give the light of the knowledge of the glorv of God in the face of 
Jesus Christ. (II Cor. 4:6.) 

b. He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and 
butter. (Job 20:17.) He made him ride on the high places of the earth,

7 When I went out to the gate through the 
city, when I prepared my seat in the street! 

8 The young men saw me, and hid them- 
selves: and the aged arose, and stood up. 

9 The princes refrained talking, and laid 
their hand on their mouth. 

10 The nobles held their peace, and their 
'tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 

11 "When the ear heard me, then it blessed 
me; and when the eye saw me, it gave wit- 
ness to me: 

12 Because rf I delivered the poor that cried, 
and the fatherless, and him that had none to 
help him. 

13 The blessing of him that was ready to 
perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's 
neart to sing for joy. 

14 I 'put on righteousness, and it clothed 
me: my judgment was as a robe and a dia- 
dem. 

15 I was feyes to the blind, and feet was I 
to the lame. 

16 I was a father to the ''poor: and the 
cause which I knew not I searched out. 

17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and 
plucked the spoil out of his teeth. 

18 "Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and 
I shall multiply my days as the sand. 

19 My root was spread out -'by the waters, 
and the dew lay all night upon my branch. 

20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow 
was renewed in my hand. 

21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and 
kept silence at my counsel. 

22 After my words they spake not again; 
and my speech dropped upon them. 

23 And they waited for me as for the rain; 
and they opened their mouth wide as for the 
latter rain. 

24 If I laughed on them, they believed it 
not; and the light of my countenance they 
cast not down. 

25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and 
rhvelt as a king in the army, as one that com- 
forteth the mourners. 

CHAPTER 30. 
1 Job's honour is turned into extreme con- 
tempt. 15 His prosperity into calamity. 

1 But 'now they that are younger than I 
have me in derision, whose fathers I would 
have disdained to have set with the dogs of 
my flock. 

2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their 
hands profit me, in whom old age was per- 
ished? 

3 For want and famine they were solitary; 
fleeing into the wilderness in former time 
desolate and waste. 

4 Who cut up Tnallows by the bushes, and 
juniper roots for their meat. 



5. Vs. 11-17. true prosperity rests 
upon the solid foundation of benevo- 
lence and righteousness. 



6. In vs. 18-25, Job declares there 
is reason to believe that the pros- 
perity of the righteous shall endure. 



Ch. 30. B. C. 1520. 



1. Job continues his lament, which 
has failed to move either God or 
man. but still he calmly holds fast 
to his integrity and faith and awaits 
the end.

5 They were driven forth from among men, 
(they cried after them as after a thief;) 

6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in 
caves of the earth, and in the rocks. 

7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the 
nettles they were gathered together. 

8 They were children of fools, yea, children 
of base men : they were viler than the earth. 

9 And now am I their "song, yea, "I am their 
byword. 

10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, 
and ''spare not to spit 'in my face. 

11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and af- 
flicted me, they have also let loose the bridle 
before me. 

12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; 
they push away my feet, and they raise up 
against me the ways of their destruction. 

13 They mar my path, they set forward my 
calamity, they have no helper. 

14 They came upon me as a wide breaking 
in of waters: in the desolation they rolled 
themselves upon me. 

15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pur- 
sue my soul as the wind: and my welfare 
passeth away as a cloud. 

16 And now my soul is c poured out "upon 
me; the 'days of affliction have taken hold 
upon me. 

17 My bones are ^pierced in me in the night 
season: and my sinews take no rest. 

18 By the great force of my disease is my 
garment "changed: it bindeth me about as the 
collar of my coat. 

19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am 
become like dust and ashes. 

20 I cry 'unto thee, and thou dost not hear 
me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. 

21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy 
strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. 

22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou 
causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my 
substance. 

23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to 
death, and to the house appointed for all liv- 
ing. 

24 7 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand 
to the grave, though they cry in his destruc- 
tion. 

25 Did ^not I "weep for him that was in 
trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? 

26 When I looked for good, then evil came 
unto me: and when .1 waited for light, there 
came darkness. 

27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the 
days of affliction prevented me. 

28 I went mourning ^without the sun: I 
stood up, and I cried in the congregation. 

29 I am a brother to dragons, and a com- 
panion to owls. 



that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck 
honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; Butter of kine, 
and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, 
and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the 
pure blood of the grape. (Dt. 32:13, 14.) 

c. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of 
my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. (Ps. 137:6.) 

d. For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, 
and him that hath no helper. (Ps. 72:12.) Whoso stoppeth his ears at 
the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. 
(Prov. 21:13.) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; 
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 
(Mat. 7:2.) 

e. Stand therefore, having" your loins girt about with truth, and 
having on the breastplate of righteousness. (Eph. 6:14.) For he put 
on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his 
head. (Is. 59:17.) 

f. Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we 
■are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of 
eyes. (Num. 10:31.) 

g. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that 
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; 
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:3.) For he shall be as 
a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the 
river, and shall not see when he eometh, but her leaf shall be green; 
and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from 
yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:8.) 

Chapter 30. 

a. He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I 
Was as a tabret. (Job. 17:6.) But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and 



gathered themselves together; yea, the abjects gathered themselves 
together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased 
not. (Ps. 35:15.) I made sackcloth also my garments; and I became a 
proverb to them. They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was 
the song of the drunkards. (Ps. 69:11, 12.) I was a derision to all my 
people; and their song all the day (14). Behold their sitting down, and 
their rising up; I am their musick. (Lam. 3:14, 63.) 

b. If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed 
seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after 
that let her be received in again. (Num. 12:14.) Then shall his brother's 
wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe 
from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So 
shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's 
house. (Dt. 25:9.) And I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks 
to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and 
spitting. (Is. 50:6.) Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; 
and others smote him with the palms of their hands. (Mat. 26:67.) 

c. No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; I have drunk 
neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the 
Lord. (I Sam. 1:15.) 

d. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak; O Lord, heal me; 
for my bones are vexed. (Ps. 6:2.) 

e. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in' 
the night season, and am not silent. (Ps. 22:2.) And his disciples 
came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after 
us. (Mat. 15:23.) 

f. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that 
weep. (Rom. 12:15.) 

g. I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 
He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 
(Lam. 3:1, 2.)

30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones 
are burned with heat. 

31 My harp also is turned to mourning, and 
my organ into the voice of them that weep. 

CHAPTER 31. 
Job maketh a solemn protestation of his in- 
tegrity in several duties. 

1 J I made a covenant with Tnine °eyes; why 
then should I think upon a maid? 

2 For what portion of God is there from 
above? and what inheritance of the Almighty 
from on high? 

3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a 
strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? 

4 Doth b not he see my ways, and count all 
my steps? 

5 3 If I have walked with vanity, or if my 
foot hath hasted to deceit; 

6 Let me 4 be weighed in an even balance, 
that God may know mine integrity. 

7 If my step hath turned out of the way, 
and mine heart c walked after mine eyes, and 
if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; 

■ 8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, 
let my offspring be rooted out. 

9 5 If mine heart have been deceived by a 
woman, or if I have laid wait at my neigh- 
bour's door; 

10 Then let my wife "grind unto another, 
and let others bow down upon her. 

11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is 
an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 

12 For it is a fire that T consumeth to de- 
struction, and would root all mine increase. 

13 If I did despise the cause of my man- 
servant or of my maidservant, when they 
contended with me; 

14 What then shall I do when God riseth 
up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer 
him? 

15 Did not he that ^made me in the womb 
make him? and did not one fashion us in the 
womb? 

16 s If I have withheld the poor from their 
desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to 
fail; 

17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, 
and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; 

18 (For from my youth 9 he was brought up 
with me, as with a father, and I have "guided 
her from my mother's womb;) 

19 If I have seen any perish for want of 
clothing, or any poor without covering; 

20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if 
he were not warmed with the fleece of my 
sheep ; 



Ch. 31. B. C. 1520. 

1. In "this masterly piece of 
moral painting" we have a most 
pleasing view of a gentle and amiable 
spirit ennobled by one common love 
of God and man. At first sight, this 
review of Job's life seems a Phar- 
isaical display of virtue, a quasi-in- 
voice of righteousness; but it is to 
be remembered that Job has been 
forced to defence under circum- 
stances which Sir Richard Steele 
states "may justify a man in saying 
not only as much as will refute his 
adversaries, but if he can, he may 
assert things of himself praise- 
worthy, which ought uot to be called 
vanity in him, but simply justice 
against his opponents." We have, 
moreover, an insight into the patri- 
archal religion, the most ancient re- 
ligion of our race. The religion of 
Job was not of Israel, nor from Mo- 
ses, but Abrahamic, the "din Ibra- 
him" (religion of Abraham), as the 
Arab calls it even to the present day. 
There is a striking resemblance be- 
tween this exhibit of moral duty 
and the ten commandments of piety 
peculiar to the "din Ibrahim." There 
is displayed a most remarkable in- 
sight into the motives and springs 
of moral action — the rudiments of 
good and evil. The heart he regards 
as the fount of moral action — the 
field from which man may look the 
saint, but be the devil. 

Job anticipates, to a wonderful 
degree, various elements of "the ser- 
mon on the mount." more especially 
the responsibility connected with the 
subtle beginnings of action, the un- 
seen primordia of the outward deed. 
And yet it is worthy of special con- 
sideration that "a conscience so 
wonderfully delicate and enlightened 
as that which Job had disclosed in 
these his closing discourses, appears 
as in need of repentance, and unable 
to secure from God a verdict of un- 
conditional justification." (Zockler.) 

2. Determined his eyes shall not 
transgress. Compare the words of 
Christ in Mat. 5:28 — "But I say unto 
you, that whosoever looketh on a 
woman to lust after her, hath com- 
mitted adultery with her already, in 
his heart." 

3. In vs. 5-S Job declares he has 
never practiced deceit or advocated 
dishonest principles. 

4. Lit., let God weigh me in a bal- 
ance of righteousness and he shall 
know my integrity. 

5. Vs. 9-15, Job afBrms that he 
has always practiced righteousness 
in all the relations of domestic life. 

6. Be a slave or concubine unto 
another if he has ever been unfaith- 
ful. 

7. In the early ages, adultery was 
punished by burning. (Gen. 38:24.) 

8. In vs. 16-23 Job declares he has 
ever practiced righteousness in civil 
life in all his dealings with others. 

9. The fatherless. 

10. The widow. 

11. In vs. 24-34. Job declares that 
he has not only been virtuous in his 



21 If I have lifted up my hand against the 
fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: 

22 Then let mine arm fall from my snoulder 
blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. 

23 For destruction from God was a ter- 
ror to me, and by reason of his highness I 
could not endure. 

24 "If I have made gold my hope, or have 
said to the line gold, Thou art my confidence; 

25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was 
great, and because mine hand had gotten 
much; 

26 e If I beheld the sun when it shined, or 
the moon walking in brightness; 

27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, 
or my mouth hath kissed my hand: 

28 This also were an iniquity to be punished 
by the judge: for I should have denied the 
God that is above. 

29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him 
that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil 
found him: 

30 Neither have I suffered my mouth ^to sin 
by wishing a curse to his soul. 

31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, 
Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be 
satisfied. 

32 ?The stranger did not lodge in the street: 
but I opened my doors to the traveller. 

33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, 
by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: 

34 Did I fear a A great multitude, or did the 
contempt of families terrify me, that I kept 
silence, and went not out of the door? 

35 12 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my 
desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, 
and that mine adversary had written a book. 

36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, 
and bind it as a crown to me. 

37 I would declare unto him the number of 
my steps; as a prince would I go near unto 
him. 

38 If my land cry against me, or that the 
furrows likewise thereof complain; 

39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof with- 
out money, or have caused the owners thereof 
to lose their life: 

40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and 
cockle instead of barley. The words of Job 
are ended. 

CHAPTER 32. 

1 Elihu is angry with Job and his three 
friends. 11 He reproveth them for not satis- 
fying of Job. 16 His zeal to speak.

domestic and civil life, but he has 
always been' honorable in the dis- 
charge of his sacred and private ob- 
ligations to man; he has never cher- 
ished malice or attempted revenge 
nor laid claim to virtues he did not 
possess. 

12. Job returns to his wish to be 
heard by the Almightv. 

Ch. 32. B. C. 1520. 

1. With this ch. the scene 



changes and another actor in this 
drama of life appears on the stage 
in the person of Elihu. a young man 
of high descent, probably of the line- 
age of Abraham. He appears to have 
been present before, but stood in the 
background as a silent listener, until 
he sees the accusers of Job are no 
longer able to answer Job's defense, 
and becoming impatient with a right- 
eous indignation against the 



"friends," also against what he con- 
ceives to be Job's self-righteousness, 
he now enters the discussion with a 
moderation which served as a beau- 
tiful contrast to the intemperance 
and severity of the other three. Job 
has repeatedly made a very impas- 
sioned appeal to be heard by God; 
but before this can be. his troubled 
mind must be soothed, which office 
Elihu seems to fill in this poem, as 



John the Baptist, a divinely commis- 
sioned bearer of truth, prepared the 
way for the coming of the Son of 
God. God reasons with man through 
man, hence the office of Elihu in the 
Book of Job. 

2. "The three friends." as they 
retire from the discussion, defeated, 
excuse their miserable failure to con- 
vince Job "because he was righteous 
in his own eyes." 



Chapter 31. 

a. That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath 
committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Mat. 5:28.) 

b. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole 
earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is per- 
fect toward him. (II Chr. 16:9.) For his eyes are upon the ways of 
man, and he seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of 
death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. (Job 
.".4:21, 22.) For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he 
pondereth all his goings. (Prov. 5:21.) The eyes of the Lord are in 
every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Prov. 15:3.) For thine 
eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men; to give every one 
according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 
32:19.) 

c. And it shall he unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, 
and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and 
that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which 
ye use to go a whoring. (Num. 15:39.) And if thy right eye offend 
thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee 
that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body 
should be cast into hell. (Mat. 5:29.) 

d. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride; but the lips of the 
wise shall preserve them. (Prov. 14:3.) The rich and poor meet to- 
gether; the Lord is the maker of them all. (Prov. 22:2.) Have we not 
iill one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacher- 



ously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our 
fathers? (Mai. 2:10.) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and 
through all, and in you all. (Eph. 4:6.) 

e. And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou 
seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, 
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord 
thy God hath divided unto all nations unto the whole heaven. (Dt. 
4:19.) Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye 
turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them. (Dt. 11:16.) And 
he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at 
the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, 
were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of 
the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun 
toward the east. (Ezek. 8:16.) 

f. Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them 
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and perse- 
cute you. (Mat. 5:44.) Bless them which persecute you; bless, and 
curse not. (Rom. 12:14.) 

g. Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's 
house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up 
early, and go on your ways. And they said. Nay; but we will abide 
in the street all night. (Gen. 19:2.) Be not forgetful to entertain 
strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 
13:2.) Use hospitality one to another without grudging. (I Pet. 4:9.) 

h. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou 



Ch. 33 __^ 

2 Then was kindled the wrath of 3 E-li'hu 
the son of Bar'a-chel the 4 Bu-zite, of the kin- 
dred of Ram: against Job was his wrath 
kindled, because he justified himself rather 
than God. 

3 Also against his three friends was his 
wrath kindled, because they had found no an- 
swer, and yet had ^condemned Job. 

4 Now "E-li'hu had waited till Job had 
spoken, because they were elder than he. 

5 When "E-li'hu saw that there was no an- 
swer in the mouth of these three men, then 
his wrath was kindled. 

6 And E-li'hu the son of Bar'a-chel the 
'Bu'zite answered and said, I am young, and 
ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and 
durst not shew you mine opinion. 

7 I said, "Days should speak, and multitude 
of years should teach wisdom. 

8 But there is a spirit in man: and the ''in- 
spiration of the Almighty giveth them under- 
standing. 

9 Great men are r not always wise: neither 
do the aged understand judgment. 

10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also 
will shew mine opinion. 

11 "Behold, I waited for your words; I gave 
ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out 
what to say. 

12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, 
there was none of you that convinced J5b, or 
that answered his words: 

13 Lest ye ^should say. We have found 'out 
wisdom : God 8 thrusteth him down, not man. 

14 Now he hath not directed his words 
against me: neither will I answer him with 
your speeches. 

15 They were 9 amazed, they answered no 
more: they left off speaking. 

16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, 
but stood still, and answered no more;) 

17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also 
will shew mine opinion. 

18 For I am full pf matter, the spirit within 
me constraineth me. 

19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath 
no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. 

20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I 
will open my lips and answer. 

21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's 
person, neither let me give flattering titles 
unto man. 

22 For I know not to give flattering titles; 
in so doing my maker would soon take me 
away. 

CHAPTER 33. 
1 Elihu offereth to reason with Job. 8 He 
excuseth God from giving man an account 
of his ways, by his greatness. 14 God call- 
eth man to repentance by visions, 19 by 
afflictions, 23 and by his ministry. 

1 Wherefore, 'Job, I pray thee, hear my 
speeches, and hearken to all my words.

tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

1. The first time Job has been ad- 
dressed by his name. In Vs. 1-7 Eli- 
hu tells Job to give attention and 
if he cannot answer him (Elihu) how 
foolish must his challenge of God 
have been. 



2. In Job 9:34; 13:21; 23:6. Job 
expresses a fear to contend with God 
lest the Divine Majesty should over- 
whelm him; but Elihu assures Job 
that he can listen to him, as he is 
human like unto himself. 



3. That is, spoken openly, charg- 
ing God with cruelty, which had 
greatly astonished Elihu. 



4. In this (i.

e., thy view of God) 



5. In many ways God seeks to 
gently reprove man of sin. 



G. In vs. 19-22 Elihu declares that 
if man will not be obed'ent to the 
gentle reproof of God, then the di- 
vine visitations of dangerous diseases 
will fall upon him. 



7. That is, purifies, not as Eliphaz 
would declare, to burn up, to punish.

an intercessor and mediator will seek 
out a ransom for man, a prophecy 
finding its fulfillment in Christ.

4 The spirit of God hath 6 made me, and the 
breath of the Almighty hath given me life. 

5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in 
order before me, stand up. 

6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in 
God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. 

7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee 
afraid, neither shall my 2 hand be heavy upon 
thee. 

8 Surely thou hast spoken 3 in mine hearing, 
and I have heard the voice of thy words, say- 
ing, 

9 I am clean without transgression, I am 
innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. 

10 Behold, he c findeth occasions against me, 
he counteth me for his enemy, 

11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he 
marketh all my paths. ^ 

12 Behold, in "this thou art not just: I will 
answer thee, that God is greater than man. 

13 Why dost thou strive against him? for 
he giveth not account of any of his matters. 

14 For God "speaketh once, yea twice, yet 
man perceiveth it not. 

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, 
when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumber- 
ings upon the bed; 

16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and 
sealeth their instruction, 

17 That he may withdraw man from his 
purpose, and hide pride from man. 

18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit,' 
and his life from perishing by the sword. 

19 6 He is 'chastened also with pain upon his 
bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong 
pain: 

20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his 
soul dainty meat. 

21 His flesh is consumed away, that it can- 
not be seen; and his bones that were not seen 
stick out. 

22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the 
grave, and his life to the destroyers. 

23 "If there be d a messenger with him, an 
interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew 
unto man his uprightness: 

24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, 
Deliver him from going down to the pit: I 
have found a ransom. 

25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: 
he shall return to the days of his youth: 

26 He shall pray f unto God, and he will be 
favourable unto him: and he shall see his face 
with joy: for he will render unto man his 
righteousness. 

27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I 
have sinned, and perverted that which was 
right, and it profited me not; 

28 He will deliver his soul from going into 
the pit, and his life shall see the light.

times with man, 

30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to 
be enlightened with the light of the living. 



speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment. (Ex. 23:2.) 
The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the 
Lord shall be safe. (Prov. 29:25.) 
Chapter 32. 

a. For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy- 
self to the search of their fathers: (For we are but of yesterday, and 
know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow). (Job 8:8, 9.) 

b. Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given 
understanding to the heart? (Job 38:36.) 

c. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew 
not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that 
believed (21). For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many 
wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 
(I Cor. 1:21, 26.) 

d. Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty 
man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. (Jer. 
9:23.) I know that the way of man is not in- himself; it is not in man 
that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) 

Chapter 33. 

a. Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of 
love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of 



God and our Father; knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 
(I Thes. 1:3, 4.) 

b. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and 
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living 
soul. (Gen. 2:7.) By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and 
all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. (Ps. 33:6.) • 

c. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? 
(24). For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to pos- 
sess the iniquities of my youth. (Job. 13:24, 26.) 

d. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the 
way before me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his 
temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; behold, 
he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) 

e. Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most 
High; And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and 
thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 50:14, 15.) The Lord is nigh unto all them 
that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. (Ps. 145:18.) 
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. (Lam. 
3:41.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you; For every one that asketh receiveth; 
and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be 
opened. (Mat. 7:7, 8.) And he spake a parable unto them to this end, 
that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. (Luke 18:1.)

me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. 

33 If not, '"hearken unto me: hold thy peace, 
and I shall teach thee wisdom. 

CHAPTER 34. 
1 Elihu accuseth Job for charging God with 
injustice. 10 God omnipotent cannot be un- 
just. 31 Man must humble himself unto 
God. 

1 ^urthemiore E-li'hu answered and said, 

2 Hear my words, ye wise men; and give 
ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. 

3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth 
tasteth meat. 

4 Let us choose ^to us judgment: let us 
know among ourselves what is good. 

5 3 For Job hath said, Q I am righteous: and 
"°God hath taken away my judgment. 

6 Should I lie against my right? my wound 
is incurable without transgression. 

7 What man is like J5b, who drinketh up 
"scorning like water? 

8 Which goeth in company with the workers 
of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. 

9 For he hath said, c It ^profiteth a man 
nothing that he should delight himself with 
God. 

10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of 
understanding : d far Tie it from God, that he 
should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, 
that he should commit iniquity. 

11 For the f work of a man shall he render 
unto him, and cause every man to find ac- 
cording to his ways. 

12 Yea, s surely God will not do wickedly, 
neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. 

13 Who" hath given him a charge over the 
earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? 

14 If he set his heart upon man, if he 
f gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; 

15 All flesh shall perish together, and man 
shall turn again unto dust. 

16 If now thou hast understanding, hear 
this: hearken to the voice of my words. 

17 Shall even -"he that hateth right govern? 
and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? 

18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art 
wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? 

19 How much less to him that ^accepteth 
not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the 
rich more than the poor? for they all are the 
work of his hands. 

20 In a moment shall they die, and the peo- 
ple shall be troubled at midnight, and pass 
away: and the mighty shall be taken away 
without hand. 



Ch. 34. b. c. 1520. 



1. After closing his first dis- 
course. Elihu pauses and waits for 
Joh to answer; but upon Job*s not 
doing so. Elihu begins his second dis- 
course in this eh. to establish the 
justice of God. He bases his argu- 
ment ou the necessity of the divine 
nature's being upright and just. 

2. Prove the right. 

3. In vs. 5-9 Elihu cites the prin- 
cipal objectionable sayings of Job. 

4. Who scoffeth in derision, as the 
wicked. 



5. An expression used of Job in 
ch. 21: 15, though he applies it to 
the wicked. 



6. In vs. 10-30 Elihu declares the 
nature of God makes it impossible 
for him to do wrong, and necessary 
for him to do right. 



7. Far from God be wickedness 
and iniquity. 



S. Of a suretv God will not do 
wickedly. E. V. 



9. Vs. 21-24. the deeds of all men 
are open and known to God. 



10. Nothing hidden, not even in 

sheol. 



11. Without searching them out. 

12. Vs. 31-37 declare that Job has 
""spoken without knowledge" and 
added "rebellion unto his sin" and 
he must repent. 

Ch. 35. B. C. 1520. 



1. In this ch. is recorded Elihu's 
third discourse. In vs. 2-16 he shows 
Job that he is in error when he 
claims that piety does not work a 
man's good, although man's right- 
eousness is too imperfect to have any 
claims upon God. therefore, the re- 
ward which God gives is gratuitous 
and not merited. 



2. In vs. 1. 2 Elihu states the sub- 
ject of the eh. — i. e.. his answer to 
"What profit shall I have if I be 
cleansed from my sin?" 



3. That is. Elihu attributes to 
Job the sentiment that he had been 
more just to God than God had been 
to him. 



4. Lit., what 
than by sin? 



shall I gain more 



21 "For his eyes are upon the ways of man, 
and he seeth all his goings. 

22 There is no darkness, nor "shadow of 
death, where the workers of iniquity may hide 
themselves. 

23 For he 'will not lay upon man more than 
right; that he should enter into judgment with 
God. 

24 He shall break in pieces mighty men 
without "number, and set others in their 
stead. 

25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and 
he overturneth them in the night, so that they 
are destroyed. 

26 He striketh them as wicked men in the 
open sight of others; 

27- Because they turned back from him, and 
would not consider any of his ways: 

28 So that they cause the cry of the poor 
to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of 
the afflicted. 

29 When he giveth quietness, who then can 
make trouble? and when he hideth his face, 
who then can behold him? whether it be done 
against a nation, or against a man only: 

30 That the hypocrite J'reign not, lest the 
people be ensnared. 

31 "Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I 
have borne chastisement, I will not offend any 
more : 

32 That which I see not teach thou me : if I 
have done iniquity, I will do no more. 

33 Should it be according to thy mind? he 
will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or 
whether thou choose; and not I: therefore 
speak what thou knowest. 

34 Let men of understanding tell me, and 
let a wise man hearken unto me. 

35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and 
his words were without wisdom. 

36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto 
the end because of his answers for wicked 
men. 

37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he 
clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth 
his words against God. 

CHAPTER 35. 
1 Comparison is not to be made with God, be- 
cause our good or evil cannot extend unto 
him. 9 Many cry in their afflictions, but are 
not heard for ivant of faith. 

1 "E-li'hu spake mioreover, and said, 

2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou 
saidst, My Righteousness is more than God's? 

3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it 
be unto thee? and. What "profit shall I have, 
if I be cleansed from my sin? 



f. Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear 
of the Lord. (Ps. 34:11.) , 
Chapter 34. ! 

a. I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is 
there iniquity in me. (Joh 33:9.) 

b. As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the 
Almighty, who hath vexed my soul. (Joh 27:2.) 

c. This is one thing, therefore I said it. He destroveth the perfect 
and the wicked. (Job 9:22.) 

d. That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the right- 
eous with the wicked; and that the righteous should be as the wicked, 
that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Gen. 
18:25.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are judg- 
ments; a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Dt. 
32:4.) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? 
God forbid. (Rom. 9:14.) 

e. If thou sayest, Behold, we know it not: doth not he that ponder- 
eth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he 
know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? 
fPror. 24:12.) For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his 
Father with his angels; and then -he shall reward every man according 
to his works. (Mat. 16:27.) For we must all appear before the judg- 
ment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his 
body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (II 
Cor. 5:10.) And my reward is with me, to give every man according as 
his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) 

f. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit 
shall return unto God who gave it, (Ecc. 12:7.) Thou hidest thy face, 
thev are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return 
to their dust. (Ps. 104:29.) 

He that ruleth over man must be just, ruling in the fear of God. 
m. 2'::3.) Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt 



thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a 
green bay tree. (Ps. -37:34. 35.) If thou seest the oppression of the poor, 
and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not 
at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and 
there be higher than they. (Ecc. 5:S.) In the land shall be his posses- 
sion in Israel; and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and 
the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to 
their tribes. (Ezek. 45:S.) Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are 
in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the 
needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. The Lord 
God hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the day shall come upon you, 
that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fish 
hooks. (Amos 4:1, 2.) 

h. For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great 
God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh 
reward. (Dt. 10:17.) He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth 
hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him. 
Cornelius. (Acts 10:3.) For there is no respect of persons with God. 
(Rom. 2:11.) And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbear- 
ing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is 
there respect of persons with him. (Eph. 6:9.) But he that doeth wrong 
shall receive for the wrong which he hath done; and there is no respect 
of persons. (Col. 3:25.) 

i. And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds, and for 
our great trespass., seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than 
our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this. 
(Ezra 9:13.) 

j. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but 
when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn (2). If a ruler hearken 
to lies, all his servants are wicked. (Prov. 29:2, 12.) 



Ch. 36 



JOB 



B. C. 1520

i I will answer thee, and thy companions 
with thee. 

5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and be- 
hold the clouds which are higher than thou. 

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against 
him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, 
what doest thou unto him? 

7 a If thou be righteous, what givest thou 
him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? 

8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou 
art; and thy righteousness may profit the son 
of man. 

9 5 By reason of the multitude of oppressions 
they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out 
by reason of the arm of the mighty. 

10 But none saith, 6 Where is God my maker, 
°who giveth songs in the night; 

11 Who d teacheth us more than the beasts 
of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the 
fowls of heaven? 

12 There e they cry, but none giveth answer, 
because of the pride of evil men. 

13 Surely God will not hear "vanity, neither 
will the Almighty regard it. 

14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see 
him, yet judgment is before him; therefore 
trust thou in him. 

15 But now, because it is not so, Tie hath 
visited in his anger; yet he s knoweth it not in 
great extremity: 

16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in 
vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. 

CHAPTER 36. 
1 Elihu sheweth how God is just in his ivays. 
16 How Job's siyis hinder God's blessings. 
24 God's works are to be magnified. 

1 ^-li'hu also ^proceeded, and said, 

2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee 
that I have yet to speak in God's behalf. 

3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and 
will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 

4 For truly my»words shall not be false: he 
that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. 

5 3 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not 
any: he is mighty in strength a and wisdom. 

6 He preserveth *not the life of the wicked: 
but giveth right to the poor. 

7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the 
righteous: but with kings are they on the 
throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, 
and they are exalted. 



5. In vs. 9-16 Elihu declares that 
piety which has to be called forth 
through suffering is of but little 
value. 

6. A vain and empty cry. 

7. God. 
S. Job. 

Ch. 36. B. C. 1520. 



1. In chs. 36. 37 is recorded Eli- 
hu's fourth and last discourse. In 
reading the discourse of Elihu it is 
interesting to observe that at first 
be enters upon his 1 task simply the 
preacher of repentance, speaking 
plainly and simply, with as little art 
as possible, but now he stands forth 
"the eulogist and glorifier of God. 
Rising to the exigencies of the occa- 
sion, he at once surpasses all the 
former speakers in power, loftiness 
and adornment of his discourse. 
Nay, even rivaling in this respect the 
representative of Jehovah himself." 
(Zoekler.) 

2. This being Elihu's fourth 
speech, he is exceeding the others, 
hence his politeness in saying, "bear 
with me a little farther." 



3. In vs. 5-7 Elihu begins to ad- 
vance some general principles con- 
cerning the government of God; first. 
that God is not the promoter of the 
interests of tne wicked, but he is 
committed to the final and eternal 
promotion of the righteous. 



4. An answer to Job in ch. 21:7 — 
'Wherefore do the wicked live?" 



5. In vs. S-12 the second general 
principle is stated — the sufferings of 
the righteous are intended to be re- 
storative to both temporal and spirit- 
ual prosperity; failing, they entail 
destruction. 



6. Vs. 13-15. third general princi- 
ple^ — hvpocrisv provokes the wrath of 
God. 

7. Vs. 16-18. as an affectionate 
God. the Lord seeks to draw the soul 
out of trouble into spiritual prosper- 
ity. 

8. From the grasp or mouth of 
trouble. 



9. Thine own death 
the hands of God. 



leave that in 



8 5 And if they be 6 bound in fetters, and be 
holden in cords of affliction; 

9 Then he sheweth them their work, and 
their transgressions that they have exceeded. 

10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, 
and commandeth that they return from 
iniquity. 

11 If they obey and serve him, they shall 
spend 'their days in prosperity, and their years 
in pleasures. 

12 But if they obey not, they shall perish 
by the sword, and they shall die without knowl- 
edge. 

13 6 But the hypocrites in heart heap up 
wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. 

14 They die d in youth, and their life is 
among the unclean. 

15 He delivereth the c poor in his affliction, 
and openeth their ears in oppression. 

16 T Even so would he have removed thee out 
of the ^strait into a broad place, where there 
is no straitness; and that which should be 
set on thy table should be full of fatness." 

17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of 
the wicked: judgment and justice take hold 
on thee. 

18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he 
take thee away with his stroke: then a great 
ransom cannot ''deliver thee. 

19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, 
nor all the forces of strength. 

20 Desire not the °night, when people are 
cut off in their place. 

21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this 
^hast thou chosen rather than affliction. 

22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who 
Heacheth like him? 

23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who 
'can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? 

24 Remember that thou -''magnify his work, 
which men behold. 

25 Every man may see it; man may behold 
it afar off. 

26 Behold, God is great, and l 'we know him 
not, neither can the number 'of his years be 
searched out. 

27 For he maketh small the drops of water: 
'"they pour down rain according to the vapour 
thereof: 

28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon 
man abundantly. 

29 Also can any understand the spreadings 
of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? 



Chapter 35. 

a. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself; but if thou 
scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. (Prov. 9:12.) For who hath known 
the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath 
first given to him? (Rom. 11:34, 35.) 

b. I, even I, am he that comforteth you; who art thou, that thou 
shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man 
which shall be made as grass; And forgettest the Lord thy Maker, that 
hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; 
and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the op- 
pressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the 
oppressor? (Is. 51:12, 13.) 

c. Yet the Lord will command his loving-kindness in the daytime, 
and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the 
God of my life. (Ps. 42:8.) 

d. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thine 
hands; thou hast put all things under his feet; All sheep and oxen, yea, 
and the beasts of the field. (Ps. 8:6, 7.) And we know that the Son of 
God is come, and hath given r.s an understanding, that we may know 
him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son 
Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (I Jno. 5:20.) 

e. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer: they shall 
seek me early, but they shall not find me. (Prov. 1:28.) Hide not thy 
face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger; thou hast been 
mv help: leave me not; neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 
(Job 27:9.) 

Chapter 36. 

a. "With him is strength and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver 
are his. (Job 12:16.) Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out; 
he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice; he 
will not afflict. (Job 37:23.) 

b. For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul 
with goodness. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, 
being bound in affliction and iron. (Ps. 107:9, 10.) 

c. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the 
mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 1:19, 20.) For bodily exercise 
profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having prom- 
ise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. - (I Tim. 4:8.) 

d. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruc- 



tion; bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I 
will trust in thee. (Ps. 55:23.) 

e. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the af- 
flicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto 
him, he heard. (Ps. 22:24.) 

f. None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give 
to God a ransom for him: (For the redemption of their soul is precious, 
and it ceaseth for ever). -(Ps. 49:7, 8.) What man is he that liveth, and 
shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the 
grave? Selah. (Ps. 89:48.) 

g. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than 
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. (Heb. 11:25.) 

h. Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsel- 
lor hath taught him? (Is. 40:13.) O the depth of the riches both of the 
wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, 
and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the 
Lord? or whom hath been his counsellor? (Rom. 11:33, 34.) Who hath 
known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have 
the mind of Christ. (I Cor. 2:16.) 

i. He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are judg- 
ment; a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Dt. 
32:4.) Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed 
and do it; for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect 
of persons, nor taking of gifts. (II Chr. 19:7.) 

j. O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very 
deep. (Ps. 92:5.1 Great and marvellous are thy works. Lord God Al- 
mighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. (Rev. 15:3.) 

k. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: 
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 
(I Cor. 13:12.) 

1. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst 
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, 
thou art God. (Ps. 90:2.) O my God, take me not away in the midst 
of my days: thy years are throughout all generations (24). But thou art 
the same, and thy years shall have no end. (Ps. 102:24, 27.) 

m. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it; thou greatly enrich- 
est it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them 
corn, when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges 
thereof abundantly; thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it 
soft with showers; thou blesseth the. springing thereof. (Ps 65:9, 10.)

30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, 
and covereth the bottom of the sea. 

31 For by them judgeth he the people; he 
giveth meat in abundance. 

32 With clouds he covereth the light; and 
commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that 
cometh betwixt. 

33 The noise "thereof sheweth concerning it. 
the cattle also concerning the vapour. 

CHAPTER 37. 
1 God is. to be feared because of his great 
works. 15 His wisdom is 'unsearchable in 
them. 

1 : At this also my heart trembleth, and is 
moved out of his place. 

2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, 
and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 

3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, 
and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 

4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth 
with the voice of his excellency; and he will 
not stay them when his voice is heard. 

5 God thundereth marvellously with his 
voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot 
comprehend. 

6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the 
earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the 
great rain of his strength. 

7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; 
that all men may know his work. 

8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain 
in their places. 

9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: 
and cold out of the north. 

10 By the breath of God frost is given : and 
the breadth of the waters is straitened. 

11 Also by ^watering he wearieth the thick 
cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 

12 And it is turned round about by his 
counsels: that they may do whatsoever he 
commandeth them upon the face of the world 
in the earth. 

13 He causeth it to come, whether for cor- 
rection, or for his land, or forjnercy. 

14 Hearken unto this, Job: stand still, 
and consider the wondrous works of God. 

15 Dost thou know ^hen God disposed 
them, and caused the light of his cloud to 
shine? 

16 Dost thou know the balancings of the 
clouds, the wondrous "works of him which is 
perfect in knowledge? 

17 How thy garments are warm, when he 
quieteth the earth by the south wind? 

18 Hast thou with him ^spread out the 
sky, which is strong, and as a molten ^looking 
glass? 

19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; 
for we cannot order our speech by reason of 
darkness.

1. In chs. 3S. 39 is recorded Je- 
hovah's discourse, "the aim of which 
is to prove that the Almighty and 
only wise God, with whom no mortal 
should dispute, might also ordain 
suffering, simply to prove and test 
the righteous." (Zockler.'i Elihu 
has discharged his duty, that of con- 
vincing the mind of Job and thus 
preparing his soul for conviction — a 
work which belongs not to man but 
to God. hence Jehovah appears at 
this time. 



2. Jehovah.

7. A figure of speech — the sea is 
but an infant in the hand of God. 



8. The dawn of day. 



9. The fountains beneath the sea. 



10. The deep caverns of the sea 
or middle of the sea. which can only 
be known by searching. 



11. Job has been talking of death, 
but has he even seen the gate? 



20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a 
man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. 

21 And now men see not the bright light 
which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, 
and cleanseth them. 

22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: 
with God is terrible majesty. 

23 Touching the Almighty, c we cannot find 
him out: ^he is excellent in power, and in 
judgment, and in plentv of justice: he e will not 
afflict. 

24 Men do therefore ? fear him: he 5 respect- 
eth not any that are wise of heart. 

CHAPTER 38. 
1 God challengeth Job to answer. 4 God, by 
his mighty works, ' convinceth Job of igno- 
rance, 31 and of imbecility. 

1 J Then the "Lord answered °Job out of the 
whirlwind, and said, 

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by 
words without knowledge? 

3 Gird up now thy loins like 2 a man; for I 
will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 

4 Where 4 wast thou when I 4 laid the founda- 
tions of the earth? declare, if thou hast under- 
standing. 

5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if 
thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line 
upon it? 

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof 
fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 

7 When the morning "stars sang together, 
and all the sons "of God shouted for joy? 

8 Or c who shut up the sea with doors, when 
it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the 
womb ? 

9 When I made the cloud the garment 
thereof, and thick darkness a 7 swaddlingband 
for it, 

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, 
and set bars and doors, 

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but 
no further: and here shall thy proud waves 
be stayed? 

12 Hast thou commanded the ? moming since 
thy days : and caused the dayspring to know 
his place; 

13 That it might take hold of the ends of 
the earth, that the wicked might be shaken 
out of it? 

14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they 
stand as a garment. 

15 And from the wicked their light is with- 
holden. and the high arm shall be broken. 

16 Hast thou entered into the 'springs of 
the sea? or hast thou walked in the "search 
of the depth? 

17 Have ^the gates of "death been opened 
unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the 
shadow of death? 



Chapter 37. 

a. O Lord, how manifold are thv works: in wisdom hast thou made 
them all; the earth is full of thy riches. (Ps. 104:24 . 1 

b. I am the Lord that maketh all things: that stretcheth forth the 
heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself. (Is. 44:24.) 

c. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man 
can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see; to whom be 
honor and power everlasting. Amen. (I Tim. 6:16.) So that the priests 
could not stand to minister by reason of the clouds; for the glory of the 
Lord had filled the house of God. (II Chr. 5:14.) Thou canst not see 
my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. (Ex. 33:20.) 

d. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any; he is mightv in 
strength and wisdom. (Job 36:5.) With him is strength and wisdom; 
the deceived and the deceiver are his. (Job 12:16.) 

e. For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. 
(Lam. 3:33.) 

f. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill 
the soul; but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and 
body in hell. (Mat. 10:28.) Fear not: for God is come to prove you. 
and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. (Ex. 
20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good under- 
standing have they that do his commandments. (Ps. 111:10.) Fear God. 
and keep his commandments: for this is the whole dutv of man. (Ecc. 
12:13.) That all the people of the earth might know 'the hand of the 
Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever. 
(Josh. 4:24.) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil" pride, and arro- 
gancy, and the evil way. and the froward mouth, do I hate. (Prov. 



8:13.) And by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 
Chapter 38. 

a. And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there 
were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and 
the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud: so that all the people that 
was in the camp trembled (16). And mount Sinai was altogether on a 
smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke 
thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount 
quaked greatly. (Ex. 19:16, 18.) The Lord hath his way in the whirl- 
wind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. (Xah. 
1:3.) 

b. When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not 
pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the 
earth. (Prov. 8:29.) Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? 
who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in 
a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his 
name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? (Prov. 30:4.) 

c. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he lay- 
eth up the depth in storehouses. (Ps. 33:7.) Thou hast set a bound 
that they may not pass over: that they turn not again to cover the earth. 
(Ps. 104:9.) Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my 
presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a per- 
petual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof 
toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, ret can 
they not pass over it? (Jer. 5:22.1 

d. Have mercy upon me, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer 
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death. 
(Ps. 9:13.)

18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the 
earth? declare if thou knowest it all. 

19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? 
and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 

20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound 
thereof, and that thou shouldest know the 
paths to the house thereof? 

21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then 
born? or because the number of thy days is 
great ? 

22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of 
the snow? or hast thou seen the "treasures of 
the hail, 

23 Which I have reserved against the time 
of trouble, against the day of battle and war? 

24 By what way is the light parted, which 
scattereth the east wind upon the earth? 

25 Who hath divided a "watercourse for the 
overflowing of waters, or a way for the light- 
ning of thunder; 

26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where 
no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is 
no man; 

27 To e satisfy the desolate and waste 
ground; and to cause the bud of the tender 
herb to spring forth? 

28 Hath the rain a "father? or who hath 
begotten the drops of dew? 

29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and 
the fhoary frost of heaven, who hath gen- 
dered it? 

30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and 
the face of the deep is frozen. 

31 Canst thou bind the 15 sweet influences of 
*>Ple'ia-de§, or loose 18 the bands of O-ri'on? 

32 Canst thou bring forth 1T Maz'za-r5th in 
his season? or canst thou guide Arc-tu'rus 
is with his sons. 

33 Knowest thou ''the "ordinances of heav- 
en? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the 
earth ? 

34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, 
that abundance of waters may cover thee? 

35 Canst thou "send lightnings, that they 
may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? 

36 'Who hath put wisdom in the inward 
parts? or who hath given understanding to the 
heart? 

37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? 
or who can stay the ^bottles of heaven, 

38 When the dust groweth into hardness, 
and the clods cleave fast together? 

39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or 
fill the appetite of the young lions, 

40 When they couch in their dens, and abide 
in the covert to lie in wait? 

41 ■'Who provideth for the raven his food? 
when his young ones cry unto God, they wan- 
der for lack of meat.

of the falling water into drops ? 



14. Can Job assign any visible 
igin for the rain?

Ch. 39. B. C. 1520. 



1. In this ch. the questions ap- 
plied to Job are taken from the ani- 
mate creation. He has been measur- 
ing himself with God. but can he an- 
swer the secret of the difference be- 
tween wild and tame animals of the 
same genus; does he understand the 
law of gestation; or the migratory 
instincts of rapacious birds? Job is 
plied with these and many similar 
questions until he sees the mystery 
of suffering to be but one of the 
many mysteries of nature; and he 
who cannot understand the natural 
world is foolish in condemning the 
government of the spiritual world. As 
rapidly as Job is able to comprehend 
it, the truth is unfolded to him that 
the "path of suffering is the path of 
glory." 



2. God not only knows but directs 
these laws of nature. Knowest thou 
them? 



1 knowest thou the 2 time when the wild 
goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou 
mark when the hinds do calve? 

2 Canst thou number the months that they 
fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they 
bring forth? 

3 They bow themselves, they bring forth 
their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. 

4 Their young ones are in good liking, they 
grow up with corn; they go forth, and return 
not unto them. 

5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or 
who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? 

6 "Whose house I have made the wilderness, 
and the harren land his dwellings. 

7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, 
neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. 

8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, 
and he searcheth after every green thing. 

9 Will the ''unicorn be willing to serve thee, 
or abide by thy crib? 

10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his 
band in the furrow? or will he harrow the 
valleys after thee? 

11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength 
is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to 
him? 

12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring 
home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? 

13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the 
peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the os- 
trich? 

14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and 
warmeth them in dust, 

15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush 
them, or that the wild beast may break them. 

16 She is c hardened against her young ones, 
as though they were not her's: her labour is 
in vain without fear; 

17 Because God hath deprived her of wis- 
dom, neither hath he ^imparted to her under- 
standing. 

18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, 
she scorneth the horse and his rider. 

19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast 
thou clothed his neck with thunder? 

20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grass- 
hopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. 

21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth 
in his strength: e he goeth on to meet the 
armed men. 

22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affright- 
ed; neither turneth he back from the sword. 

23 The quiver rattleth against him, the 
glittering spear and the shield. 

24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness 
and rage: neither believeth he that it is the 
sound of the trumpet. 

25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; 
and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thun- 
der of the captains, and the shouting. 

26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and 
stretch her wings toward the south? 



e. He turneth the wilderness mto a standing water, and dry ground 
into water-springs. (Ps. 107:35.) 

f. He giveth snow like wool; he scattereth the hoar frost like ashes. 
(Ps. 147:16.) 

g. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers 
of the south. (Job 9:9.) Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who 
hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number; he 
calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is 
strong in power; not one faileth. (Is. 40:26.) Seek him that maketh 
the seven stars and Orion, and turnetn the shadow of death into the 
morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the 
waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; 
the Lord is his name. (Amos 5:8.) 

h. Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the 'sun for a light by day, 
and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, 
which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts 
is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, 
then the seat of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me 
for ever. (Jer. 31:35, 36.) He hath also established them for ever and 
ever; he hath made a decree which shall not pass. (Ps. 148:6.) 

i. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; and in the hid- 
den part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. (Ps. 51:6.) For God 
giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and 
joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that 



he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and 
vexation of spirit. (Ecc. 2:26.) 

j. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which 
cry. (Ps. 147:9.) Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither 
do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feed- 
eth them. Are ye not much better than they? (Mat. 6:26.) 

Chapter 39. 

a. Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; 
rising betimes for a prey; the wilderness yieldeth food for them and 
for their children. (Job 24:5.) A wild ass used to the wilderness, that 
snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her 
away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month 
they shall find her. (Jer. 2:24.) 

b. God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength 
of an unicorn. (Num. 23:22.) His glory is like the firstling of his bul- 
lock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns; with them he shall 
push the people together to the ends of the earth. (Dt. 33:17.) 

c. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was 
counted unto him for righteousness. (Rom. 4:3.) 

d. Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh 
us wiser than the fowls of heaven? (Job 35:11.) 

e. I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright; no man re- 
pented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one 
turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. (Jer. 8:6.)

JOB 



Ch. 41 B. C. 1520 



27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy com- 
mand, and 'make her nest on high? 

28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, 
upon the crag of the rock, and the strong 
place. 

29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and 
her eyes behold afar off. 

30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and 
where the slain are, there is she. 

CHAPTER 40. 
1 Job humbleth himself to God. 6 God stir- 
reth him up to shew his righteousness, 
power, and wisdom. 15 Of the behemoth. 

1 a Moreover the Lord answered Job, and 
said, 

2 Shall he that a contendeth with the Al- 
mighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, 
let him answer it. 

3 K : Then Job answered the : Lord, and said, 

4 Behold, I am 6 vile; what shall I answer 
thee? I c will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 

5 Once have I spoken; but I will not an- 
swer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 

6 r 4 Then ^answered the Lord unto Job out 
of the whirlwind, and said, 

7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will 
demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 

8 Wilt thou e also disannul my judgment? 
wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be 
righteous? 

9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou 
thunder with fa voice like him? 

10 ^Deck thyself now with majesty and ex- 
cellency; and array thyself with glory and 
beauty. 

11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and 
behold every one that is proud, and abase him. 

12 Look on every one that is ''proud, and 
bring him low; and tread down the wicked in 
their place. 

13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind 
their faces in secret. 

14 Then will I also confess unto thee that 
thine own right hand can save thee. 

15 S "Behold now behemoth, which I made 
with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 

16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and 
his force is in the navel of his belly. 



Ch. 40. B. C. 1520. 



1. In this ch. God pauses for Job 
to answer. It is significant to ob- 
serve here that God closes v. 1. which 
is the close of the present address. 
with "Let him answer.'' The same 
original verb that Job so defiantly 
used in closing his address. (Job 
31:3o) — "Let the Almighty answer." 



2. Jehovah. 



3. In vs. 
confession. 



4, 5 is recorded Job's

and tells him to take upon himself 
the attributes of deity, then he will- 
confess that he is able to save him- 
self. 



5. Vs. 15-24. before Job assumes 
to be equal with God. he should try 
to compete with some of the animals 
which are the creatures of God. 



6. Supposed to be the hippopota- 
mus. 



Ch. 41. B. C. 1520. 



1. Vs. 1-11, the intractableness of 
the leviathan. 



2. The crocodile. 



3. If Job is not able to stand be- 
fore the leviathan would he dare ap- 
pear before God? 



4. Vs. 12-22. Jehovah resumes the 
description of the leviathan, that he 
may present the wisdom necessary in 
creating a reptile whose eyes and 
mouth, nostrils and breath are a 
source of terror. 



17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the 
sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 

18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; 
his bones are like bars of iron. 

19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he 
that made him can make his sword to ap- 
proach unto him. 

20 Surely the mountains 'bring him forth 
food, where all the beasts of the field play. 

21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the 
covert of the reed, and fens. 

22 The shady trees cover him with their 
shadow; the willows of the brook compass him 
about. 

23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hast- 
eth not : he trusteth that he can draw up J Jor'- 
dan into his mouth. 

24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose 
pierceth through snares. 

CHAPTER 41. 
Of God's great power in the leviathan. 

1 'Canst thou draw out "leviathan "with an 
hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou 
lettest down? 

2 Canst thou put 6 an hook into his nose? or 
bore his jaw through with a thorn? 

3 Will he make many supplications unto 
thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? 

4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt 
thou take him for a servant for ever? 

5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? 
or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 

6 Shall the companions make a banquet of 
him? shall they part him among the mer- 
chants? 

7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? 
or his head with fish spears? 

8 3 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the 
battle, do no more. . 

9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall 
not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 

10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: 
who °then is able to stand before me? 

11 Who hath prevented me, that I should 
repay him? whatsoever is ^under the whole 
heaven is mine. 

12 *I will not conceal his parts, nor his 
power, nor his comely proportion. 

13 Who can discover the face of his gar- 



f. Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, 

thou that dwelleth in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height 
of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, 

1 will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord. (Jer. 49:16.) 

Chapter 40. 

a. Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of 
any of his matters. (Job 33:13.) For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, 
heclappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. 
(Job 34:37. ) Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the 
potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say 
to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no 
hands? (Is. 45:9.) O man, who art thou that repliest against God? 
Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made 
me thus? (Rom. 9:20.) 

b. O my God, I am ashamed, and blush to lift up my face to thee, 
my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our tres- 
pass is grown up unto the heavens. (Ezra 9:6.) Against thee, thee 
only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight; that thou mightest 
be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. (Ps. 
51:4.) 

c. The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their 
mouth. (Job 29:9.) I was dumb, I opened not my mouth: because thou 
didst it. (Ps. 39:9.) Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord; for he is 
raised up out of his holy habitation. (Zech. 2:13.) Hark me, and be 
astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. (Job 21:5.) 

d. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind. (Job 38:1.) 

e. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy 
sight; that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear 
when thou judgest. (Ps. 51:4.) God forbid; yea, let God be true, but 
every man a liar; as it is written. That thou mightest be justified in thy 
sayings, and mightest overcome when' thou art judged. (Rom. 3:4.) 

f. After it a voice roareth; he thundereth with the voice of his 
excellency: and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. (Job 
:;7:4.) The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory 
thundereth; the Lord is upon many waters. (Ps. 29:3.) 

g. The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is 
clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also 
is established, that it cannot be moved. (Ps. 93:1.) Bless the Lord, O 
my soul. O Lord my God. thou art very great; thou art clothed with 
honor and majesty. (Ps. 104:1.) 

h. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that 
is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up: and he shall 
be brought low. (Is. 2:12.) And those that walk in pride he is able to 
abase. (Dan. 4:37. ) 



i. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the 
service of man; that he mav bring forth food out of the earth. (Ps. 
104:14.) 

j. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, 
that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom 
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, 
as thou comest unto Zoar. (Gen. 13:10.) If thou hast run with the 
footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend 
with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst they 
wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? (Jer. 
12:5.) 

Chapter 41. 

a. There go the ships; there is that leviathan, whom thou hast 
made to play therein. (Ps. 104:26.) In that day the Lord with his 
sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing ser- 
pent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon 
that is in the sea. (Is. 27:1.) Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in 
pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilder- 
ness. (Ps. 74:14.) 

b. Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up in'o 
mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle 
in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou 
earnest. (Is. 37:29.) 

c. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened 
himself against him, and hath prospered? (Job 9:4.) Do we provoke 
the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? (I Cor. 10:22.) Can 
thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I 
shall deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken it, and will do it. (Ezek. 
22:14.) 

d. Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy 
God, the earth also, with all that therein is. (Dt. 10:14.) The earth 
is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell 
therein. (Ps. 24:1.) The 'earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 
(I Cor. 10:26.) Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and 
keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above 
all peopl?: for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) Which removeth the 
mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 
Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof trem- 
ble. Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the 
stars. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens and treadeth upon the 
waves of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus. Orion, and Pleiades, and the 
chambers of (he south. Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, 
and wonders without number. (Job 9:5-10.)

ment? or who can come to him with his 
double bridle? 

14 Who can open the 5 doors of his face? his 
teeth are terrible round about. 

15 His scales are his "pride, shut up together 
as with a close seal. 

16 One - is so near to another, that no air 
can come between them. 

17 They are joined one to another, they stick 
together, that they cannot be sundered. 

18 By his T neesings a light doth shine, and 
his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 

19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and 
sparks of fire leap out. 

20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out 
of a seething pot or caldron. 

21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame 
goeth out of his mouth. 

22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sor- 
row is turned into joy before him. 

23 The flakes of his flesh are joined to- 
gether: they are firm in themselves; they can- 
not be moved. 

24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as 
hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 

25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty 
are afraid : by reason of breakings they purify 
themselves. 

26 The sword of him that layeth at him 
cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the 
habergeon. 

27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as 
rotten wood. 

28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling- 
stones are turned with him into stubble. 

29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugh- 
eth at the shaking of a spear. 

30 Sharp stones are under him: he spread- 
eth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 

31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: 
he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. 

32 He maketh a path to shine after him; 
one would think the deep to be hoary. 

33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is 
made without fear. 

34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a 
king over all the children of pride. 

CHAPTER 42. 
1 Job submitteth himself unto God. 7 God, 
preferring Job's cause, maketh his friends 
submit themselves, and hccepteth him. 10 
He magnifieth and blesseth Job. 16 Job's 
age and death. 

1 'Then Job answered the Lord, and said, 

2 I know that thou "canst do every thing, 
and that no thought can be withholden from 
thee. 



5. His jaws which open back to 
his eyes and ears. 



6. His strong shields. 



7. Sneezing. It has been abund- 
antly attested by travelers that, 
when sneezing, this reptile forces a 
heavy spray through its nostrils, 
through which the sun shines, pro- 
ducing a beautiful, luminous appear- 
ance. 



Ch. 42. B. C. 1520. 



1. In vs. 2-6 of this ch. is record- 
ed Job's second and last reply to God. 



2. Vs. 7, S, Jehovah addresses

3. Jehovah. 



4. The sacrifice to be completely

6. Vs. 12-17, the end of Job is

7. Job is supposed to have lived to 
he 240 years old. If he lived 140 
years after his restoration, he was 
something like 100 years old when 
his calamities came upon him. 



3 Who is he that hideth counsel without 
knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I 
understood not; Hhings too wonderful for me, 
which I knew not. 

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I 
will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 

5 I have ''heard of thee by the hearing of 
the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. 

6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in 
dust and ashes. 

7 II 2 And was it so, that after the Lord had 
spoken these words unto J5b, the Lord said to 
El'i-phaz the Te'man-ite, My wrath is kindled 
against thee, and against thy two friends: for 
ye have not spoken of me the thing that is 
right, as my servant Job hath. 

8 Therefore take unto you now seven bul- 
locks and seven rams, and d go to my servant 
Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt 'of- 
fering; and my servant J5b shall pray 'for 
you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you 
after your folly, in that ye have not spoken 
of me the thing which is right, like my servant 
Job. 

9 So El'i-phaz the Te'man-ite and Bil'dad 
the Shu'hlte and Zo'phar the Na'a-math-Ite 
went, and did ''according as the s Lord com- 
manded them: the Lord also accepted Job. 

10 5 And the 3 Lord turned the captivity of 
Job, when he prayed for his friends: also 
the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had 
before. 

11 Then came there unto him all his breth- 
ren, and all his sisters, and all they that had 
been of his acquaintance before, and did eat 
bread with him in his house: and they be- 
moaned him, and comforted him over all the 
evil that the, 3 Lord had brought upon him: 
every man also gave him a piece of money, 
and every one an earring of gold. 

12 c So the 3 Lord blessed nhe latter end of 
Job more than his beginning: for he had four- 
teen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, 
and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand 
she asses. 

13 He had also seven sons and three daugh- 
ters. 

14 And he called the name of the first, Je- 
mi'ma; and the name of the second, Ke-zl'a; 
and the name of the third, ''Ker'en-hap'puch. 

15 And in all the land were no women found 
so fair as the daughters of Job: and their 
father gave them inheritance among their 
brethren. 

16 After this 'lived 'Jdb an hundred and 
forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' 
sons, even four generations. 

17 So Job died, being old and full of days. 



Chapter 42. 

a. Is any thing too hard for the Lord? (Gen. 18:14.) Ah Lord God; 
behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth hy thy great power 
and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee. (Jer. 
32:17.) For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37.) 

b. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou 
hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward; they cannot be 
reckoned up in order unto thee; if I would declare and speak of them, 
they are more than can be numbered. (Ps. 40:5.) Lord, my heart is not 
haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great mat- 
ters, or in things too high for me. (Ps. 131:1.) To him that stretched 
out the earth above the waters. (Ps. 136:6.) 

c. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of 
God. (Rom. 10:17.) 

d. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remem- 
berest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift 
before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, 
and then come and offer thy gift. (Mat. 5:23, 24.) 

e. So Abraham prayed unto God; and God healed Abimelech, and his 
wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare children. (Gen. 20:17.) Con- 
fess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may 



be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth 
much. (Js. 5:16.) 

f. The righteous shall be glad m the Lord, and shall trust in him: 
and all the upright in heart shall glory. (Ps. 64:10.) But the path of 
the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the 
perfect day. (Prov. 4:18.) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father 
which is in heaven, the same Is my brother, and sister, and mother. 
(Mat. 12:50.) 

g. Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should 
greatly increase. (Job 8:7.) Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and 
have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of 
tender mercy. (Js. 5:11.) 

h. For thou art the glory of their strength. (Ps. 89:17.) Lo, chil- 
dren are an heritage of the Lord. (Ps. 127:3.) Thy wife shall be as a 
fruitful vine by the sides of thine house; thy children like olive plants 
round about thy -table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that 
feareth the Lord. The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion; and thou shalt 
see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea. thou shalt see 
thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. (Ps. 128:3-6.) 

i. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of 
corn cometh in in his season. (Job 5:26.) Length of days is in her right 
hand. (Prov. 3:16.) 



THE 



BOOK OF PSALMS 



NOTE. — "Because of the essential nature and scope of sacred lyrical 
and so interpenetrates all Bible history and prophecy, all secular and spiritual 
authors, viz.: David. S4; Asaph. 12; Sons of Korah. a Levitical family. 11: H 
Judah. 1; Solomon. 12; Moses. 1 (Psalm 90). As David wrote the greatest 
throughout the Psalms to develop the religious teachings of man's relation to G 
out the Psalms, as the reason assigned for social virtue and kindness in man 
node and dwell in his holy hill"? Immediately the answer is given. 'Tie who 
of God for man to enjoy the blessings of this life, therefore in a warning tone 
delights in the law of the Lord." God is ever and constantly leading man 
ihe perfect man, "One who loves the sanctuary and the worship of God, in th 
steadfastly for temporal as for spiritual blessings." In the character set forth 
intentional absence of guile, purity of heart as the mainspring of actions, 
generosity, sympathy with the sufferings, affection toward friends, humility 



poetry, no book of the Bible so intertwines itself with all other sacred books 

knowledge, as the Psalms." The book contains 150 Psalms written by several 
man. the Ezrehite. 1 ; Ethan, brother of Heman, son of Zerah. of the tribe of 
number, he is called the "sweet psalmist of Israel." It is the purpose 
od. and man's relation to man. "I am Jehovah, your God," resounds througb- 

s relation to man. The ques'tion is asked. "Who shall abide in God's taber- 
is upright, true, and practices all virtue towards men." It was the intention 

the Psalmist asks. "Who is happy?" and immediately answers. "He who 
toward a perfect life on earth. In the Psalms he gives him a definition of 
eir spiritual and not merely their formal import, and who trusts the Lord 

by the Psalms as the perfect man towards God are seen single heartedness. 
justice, fortitude, self control, rectitude in dealings between man and man. 
and a broken and contrite heart. 



PSALM 1. 

1 The happiness of the godly. 4 The unhappi- 

ness of the ungodly. 

1 "Blessed '-is the man that "walketh not in 
the xounsel 6 of the s ungodly, nor = standeth in 
the way of 'sinners, nor T sitteth in the s seat 
of the "scornful. 

2 But his "delight is in the law of the 
"Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day 
and : night. 

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the 
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit 
in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; 
and whatsoever he doeth shall ''prosper. 

4 The 3 ungodly are not "so : but are like the 
chaff which the wind driveth away. 

5 Therefore the Tmgodly d shall not stand in 
the '"judgment, nor sinners in the congrega- 
tion of the righteous. 

6 For r the "Lord knoweth the way of the 
righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall 
i5 perish. 

PSALM 2. 
1 The kingdom of Christ. 10 Kings are ex- 
horted to accept it. 

1 ''Why do the "'heathen rage, and the people 
^imagine a *vain thing? 

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and 
ihe rulers take counsel together, against the 
'Lord, and against "his 'anointed, saying, 

3 Let l us break 'their bands asunder, and 
cast away their cords from us. 



Psalm 1. 

1. It is universally conceded by 
Hebrew scholars .that Ps. 1 is right- 
ly placed first in the series, as it 
forms an introduction to the entire 
book. Its subjeet is the law of 
God. the blessings of those who keep 
it. and the certain doom and despair 
of those who neglect it. which is 
the subject of the whole book. This 
Psalm is closely allied in its ad- 
monitory character to Ps. 37. 49 and 
f3. Its testimony concerning the 
beauty of the divine law is like Ps. 
19 and 119. It was written by 
David or Ezra and is for the pur- 
pose of a preface or foreword to the 
Book of Psalms. 

2. Fig., the habit of daily life.

mean men void of true piety though 
otherwise moral.

14. The contrast is absolute, no 
part is common. 

15. They shall be overthrown. 
their work shall be brought to judg- 
ment. 

16. Not annihilated, but plans, ex- 
pectations and enjoyments to be de- 
stroyed. 

Psalm 2. 

1. Written on the delivery of the 
promise by Nathan to David, a 
prophecy of the Messiah. In Acts 



4 He c that sitteth in the heavens shall 
laugh: the "Lord shall have them in derision. 

5 Then s shall he speak unto them in his 
wrath, and "vex them in his sore displeasure. 

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill 
of Zi'on. 

7 / ivill declare the "decree: the "Lord hath 
said unto me, d Thou art "my Son; this day 
have I ^'begotten thee. 

8 Ask e of me, and I shall give thee the 
heathen for thine inheritance, and the utter- 
most parts of the earth for thy possession. 

9 Thou fshalt break them with a rod 13 of 
iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a 
potter's vessel. 

10 Be wise now therefore, ye kings: be 
instructed, ye judges of the earth. 

11 Serve the '"Lord with fear, and rejoice 
with trembling. 

12 "Kiss the Son, lest he be Bangry, and ye 
perish from the way, when his wrath is 
kindled but a little. Blessed h are all they that 
put their trust in him. 

PSALM 3. 

The security of God's protection. 

A ^salm of ; Da'vid, when he fled from Ab'sa- 

lom his son. 

1 3 Lord, how are they increased that trouble 
me! many are they that rise up against me. 

2 Many there be which say of mv soul, 
a There is no help for him in God. 4 Se'lah. 



4:25 the approximate date of writing 
and name of the author is given, 
"Who by the mouth of thy servant 
David hast said. Why did the heathen 
rage and the people imagine vain 
things?" In this Ps. is set forth 
the futility of man's hostile attitude 
toward God. also God's determination 
to perfect his purpose, and therefore 
the danger attending those who resist 
him. 

2. Conspirators; a prophetic vision 



of the raging opposition of the ene- 
mies of God, as the raging of the sea. 

3. Meditate. 

4. Vanity, emptiness. 

5. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God.

wicked or heathen thought they were 
about to succeed.

miscarriage of their plans.

speaks in the person of Christ, called 
in v. 2. the Anointed; in v. 6. Jeho- 
vah's King, and in v. 7. Jehovah's 
Son.

or order.

15:17 (David's flight from Absalom) 
and is very closely allied to Ps. 4. 

2. The first Ps. to bear the name 
of David. 

3. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

4. A word occurring 73 times in 
the Ps. and three times in Hahakkuk:

more than in the time that their corn and 
their wine increased. 

8 I will both lay me down in peace, and 
sleep: for thou, 6 Lord, only makest me dwell 
ft in safety. 

PSALM 5. 
1 David prayeth, and professeth his study hi 
prayer. 7 He prayeth unto God to guide 
him, 10 to destroy his enemies, 11 and to 
preserve the godly. 
To the chief Musician upon : Ne'hi-16th, A 
Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 *Give ear to my words, 3 Lord, consider 
"my meditation. 

2 Hearken unto the voice of ft my cry, my 
King, and my God: for unto thee c will I pray. 

3 My d voice shalt thou hear in the morn- 
ing, 3 Lord; in the morning will I direct c my 
prayer unto thee, and will look up. 

4 For 4 thou art not a God that hath pleas- 
ure in wickedness: neither shall evil 'dwell 
with thee. 

5 The "foolish e shall not stand' in thy sight: 
thou hatest all workers of 'iniquity. 

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak "leas- 
ing: the 3 Lord will abhor the bloody and de- 
ceitful man. 

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house 



the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with 
Absalom. (II Sam. 15:12.) All they that see me, laugh me to scorn; 
they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying (7), He trusted on 
the Lord that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, seeing he de- 
lighted in him. (Ps. 22:7, 8.) 

b. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round 
about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I 
will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord. (Ps. 27:6.) 

c. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have 
sinned against thee, both because vve have forsaken our God, and also 
served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) And they cried unto the Lord, and said. 
We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served 
Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our 
enemies, and we will serve thee. (I Sam. 12:10.) Therefore thou de- 
liveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and 
in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest 
them from heaven ; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest 
them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. (Neh. 
9:27.) They cried, unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee 
and were not confounded. (Ps. 22:5.) Nevertheless he regarded their af- 
fliction, when he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) Then they cry unto the 
Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. (Ps. 
107:19.) 

d. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and 
none shall make you afraid; and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, 
neither shall the sword go through your land. (Lev. 26:6.) When thou 
liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy 
sleep shall be sweet. (Prov. S:24.) 

e. Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou 
shalt know no God but me: for there is no saviour besides me. (Hos 
13:4.) The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his.

them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. (Ps. 
35:3.) The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is. of 
the Lord. (Prov. 21:31.) I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there 
is no saviour. (Is. 43:11.) He that saith he is in the light, and hateth 
his brother, is in darkness even until now. (I Jno. 2:9.) After this I 
beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all 
nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, 
and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their 
hands. (Rev. 7:9.) 

Psalm 4. 

a. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) Go and proclaim these words toward 
the north, and say. Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; 
and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, 
saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye 
therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) And 

.the publican standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes 
unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me 
a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) 

b. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath 
heard the voice of my weeping (8). The Lord hath heard my supplica- 
tion; the Lord will receive my prayer. (Ps. 6:8, 9.) I have called 
upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and 
hear my speech. (Ps. 17:6.) 

c. Trust in the Lord and do good: so shalt thou dwell in the land, 
and verily thou shalt be fed. (Ps. 37:3.) Let all the earth fear the 
Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. (Ps. 
33:8.) Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your 
wrath. (Eph. 4:26.) 

d. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, 



with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then shall they offer 
bullocks upon thine altar. (Ps. 51:19.) They shall call the people unto 
the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they 
shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the 
sand. (Dt. 33:19.) 

e. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, 
and verily thou shalt be fed (3). Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust 
also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. (Ps. 37:3, 5.) Trust in him at 
all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for 
us. Selah. (Ps. 62:8.) 

f. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 
(Num. 6:26.) Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and 
we shall be saved (3). Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy 
face to shine; and we shall be saved. (Ps. 80:3, 7.) Blessed is the people 
that know the joyful sound: they shall walk. O Lord, in the light of 
thy countenance. (Ps. 89:15.) Make thy face to shine upon thy ser- 
vant; and teach me thy statutes. (Ps. 119:135.) 

g. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did 
good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our 
hearts with food and gladness. (Acts 14:17.) 

h. Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and 
do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety (18). And the land 
shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in 
safety. (Lev. 25:18, 19.) And your threshing shall reach unto the vint- 
age, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat 
your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. (Lev. 26:5.) But 
when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God 
giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your ene- 
mies round about, so that ye dwell in safety. (Dt. 12:10.) 

Psalm 5. 

a. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be 
acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. (Ps. 
19:14.) My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. 
(Ps. 104:34.) 

b. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We 
have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and 
also served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) And they cried unto the Lord, and 
said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have 
served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of 
our enemies, and we will serve thee. (I Sam. 12:10.) Therefore thou 
deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and 
in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest 
them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest 
them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. (Neh. 
9:27.) They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, 
and were not confounded. (Ps. 22:5.) Nevertheless he regarded their af- 
fliction, when he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) Then they cry unto the 
Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. (Ps. 
107:19.) 

c. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that 
call upon him in truth. (Ps. 145:18.) Let us lift up our heart with our 
hands unto God in the heavens. (Lam. 3:41.) Ask, and it shall be 
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto 
you (7). For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh find- 
eth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Mat. 7:7, 8.) And 
he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to 
pray, and not to faint. (Luke 18:1.) 

d. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weep- 
ing may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Ps. 30:5.) 

e. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look 
on iniquity; wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, 
and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more 
righteous than he? (Hab. 1:13.)

Psalm 7 



in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy 
-"fear will 1 worship toward thy holy temple. 

8 ''Lead me, 3 Lord, in thy righteousness 
because of mine enemies; make thy way 
straight before my face. 

9 For "there is no faithfulness in their 
mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; 
their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter 
with their tongue. 

10 Destroy thou them, 10 O God; let them 
fall by their own counsels ; cast them out in 
the multitude of their transgressions; for they 
have rebelled against thee. 

11 But let all "those that put their trust in 
thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, 
because thou defendest them: let them also 
that 'love thy name be joyful in thee. 

12 For thou, 3 Lord, ■'wilt bless the righteous; 
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a

PSALM 6. 
1 David's complaint in his sickness. 8 By 

faith he triumpheth over his enemies. 

To the ^hief Musician on 2 Neg'i-noth upon 

3 Shem'i-nith, A Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 "Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, 
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 

2 Have mercy upon me, "Lord; for I am 
weak: O 4 Lord, °heal me; for my bones are 
vexed. 

3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O

couch with my tears. 

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; 
it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

9. The "for" states the reason for 
the prayer (v. 8). that is, his enemies 
hare no faithfulness nor reliability; 
they know not the truth and have 
no fixed principle. 

10. Visit upon them the conse- 
quences of their sins. 

11. Let those who trust thee re- 
ceive the reward of their righteous- 
ness. 

Psalm 6. 

1. Ps. 6 is a prayer of David 
pleading for mercy in time of trouble 
or sickness, supposed to have been 
written near the end of his life. The 
affliction of this Ps. seems to be a 
judgment and as such David ac- 
cepts it. 

2. Stringed instruments. 

3. Meaning eighth ; by some 
claimed to be an instrument with 
eight strings; by others the eighth or 
lowest note sung by men. 

4. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

5. A contrast between death and 
this life. 

6. David's regret here is not one 
coming from a fear of death, but a 
dislike of being cut off from the 
worship and service of God among the 
living. 

7. A hyperbole for great weeping. 
Psalm 7. 

1. This Ps. was written on the 
occasion of the reproaches of Sbimei. 
David prays for relief because he is 
innocent, and in the relief of the in- 
nocent God is glorified. This Ps. is 
founded on II Sam. 16:13, 14. 

2. To wander, to reel, that is, an 
ode irregular in meter. 

3.

4. The Cushites were a dark-

enemies had accused him (II Sam. 
16:5-8). 

G. Silence, pause, rest.

1 David prayeth against the malice of his 

enemies. 10 By faith he seeth his defence, 

and the destruction of his enemies. 
'Shig-ga'ion : of Da'vid, which he sang unto the 

Lord, concerning the words of 4 Cush the 

Ben'ja-mite. 

1 3 Lord my God, in "thee do I put my 
trust: save me from all them that persecute 
me, and deliver me: 

2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending 
it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 

3 3 Lord my God, if I have D done this; if 
there be iniquity in my hands; 

4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that 
was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered 
him that without cause is mine enemy:) 

5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take 
it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the 
earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. °Se'- 
lah. 

6 Arise, 3 Lord, in thine anger, lift up 
thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: 
and awake for me to the judgment that thou 
hast commanded. 

7 So shall the congregation of the people 
compass thee about: for their sakes therefore 
return thou on high. 

8 The 3 Lord shall judge the people: judge 
me, 6 3 Lord, according to my righteousness, 
and according to mine integrity that is in me. 

9 Oh let f the wickedness of the wicked come 
to an end; but establish e the just; ^for the 
righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 

10 My defence is of God, which saveth the 
upright in heart. 



f. See a, Ps. 4. 

g. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not; for God is come, to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin 
not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a 
good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of the 
whole matter: Fear God; and keep his commandments: for this is the 
whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) That all the people of the earth might 
know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the 
Lord your God for ever. (Josh. 4:24.) The fear of the Lord is to hate 
evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, 
do I hate. (Prov. 8:13.) By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and 
by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

h. Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because 
of mine enemies. (Ps. 27:11.) Fcr thou art my rock and my fortress; 
therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. (Ps. 31:3.) 

i. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither 
have entered- into the heart of man, the things which God hath pre- 
pared for them that love him. (I Cor. 2:9.) 

j. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the up- 
right shall be blessed. (Ps. 112:2.) 

Psalm 6. 
- a. Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and 
he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. (Hos. 6:1.) 
I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned 
against thee. (Ps. 41:4.) He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth 
up their wounds. (Ps. 147:3.) Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; 
save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise. (Jer. 17:14.) 

b. Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy 
servants. (Ps. 90:13.) 

c. Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul 
from the wicked, which is thy sword. (Ps. 17:13.) 

d. Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and 
praise thee? Selah (10). Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the 
grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? (11). Shall thy wonders be 
known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 
(Ps. 88:10-12.) Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; 
for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the 
grave, whither thou goest. (Ecc. 9:10.) For the grave cannot praise 
thee, death cannot celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit can- 
not hope for thy truth. (Is. 38:18.) 

e. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the command- 
ments of my God. (Ps. 119:115.) Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O 
God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. (Ps. 139:19.) And then 
will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that 
work iniquity. (Mat. 7:23.) But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not 
whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. (Luke 13:27.) 

f. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers 
of iniquity. (Ps. 5:5.) Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? 

eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. 
(Ps. 14:4.) Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment 



to the workers of iniquity? (Job 31:3.) Which goeth in company with 
the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men (8). There is no 
darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide 
themselves. (Job 34:8, 22.) The way of the Lord is strength to the up- 
right: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. (Prov. 10:29.) 

g. But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of 
my prayer (19). Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my pray- 
er, nor his mercy from me. (Ps. 66:19, 20.) I love the Lord, because he 
hath heard my voice and my supplications. (Ps. 116:1.) 

h. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: 
for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek 
my hurt. (Ps. 71:24.) Let them be ashamed and confounded together 
that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and 
put to shame that wish me evil. (Ps. 40:14.) When I cry unto thee, 
then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 
(Ps. 56:9.) Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that 
say, Aha, aha! (Ps. 70:3.) 

i. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are 
utterly consumed with terrors. (Ps. 73:19.) 

Psalm 7. 

a. In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a 
bird to your mountain? (Ps. 11:1.) In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; 
let 'me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. (Ps. 31:1.) 
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 
(Ps. 71:1.) 

b. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, be- 
hold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man 
according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Wherefore, if meat make 
my brother Co offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest 
I make my brother to offend. (I Cor. S:13.) For we know him that 
hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me. I will recompense, saith the 
Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30:) 

c. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous 
shall be desolate. (Ps. 34:21.) And he shall bring upon them their own 
iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord 
our God shall cut them off. (Ps. 94:23.) 

d. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or 
on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord 
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but 
the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) But, O Lord of hosts, 
that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see 
thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause. (Jer. 
11:20.) 

e. And of Zion it shall be said. This and that man was born in 
her: and the Highest himself shall establish her. (Ps. 87:5.) The chil- 
dren of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established 
before thee. (Ps. 102:28.) In righteousness shalt thou be established: 
thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from ter- 
ror; for it shall not come near thee. (Is. 54:14.) But the Lord is faith- 
ful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. (II Thes. 3:3.)

Psalm 9 



463 



11 God judgeth the f righteous, and God is 
angry with the wicked every day. 

12 If he turn not, he will whet 'his sword; 
he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 

13 He hath also prepared for him the in- 
struments of death; he ordaineth his arrows 
against the persecutors. 

14 Behold, he s travaileth with iniquity, and 
hath conceived mischief, and brought forth 
falsehood. 

15 He made a pit, and digged it, and fis 
fallen into the "ditch which he made. 

16 His mischief "shall return upon his own 
head, and his violent dealing shall come down 
upon his own pate. 

17 I will praise 7i the 3 Lord according to his 
righteousness: and will sing praise to the name 
of the 3 Lord most high. 

PSALM 8. 
God's glory is magnified by his works, and by 

his love to man. 

! To the chief Musician upon "Git'tith, A Psalm 

of Da'vid. 

1 3 Lord our Lord, how "excellent is thy 
name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory 
above tke heavens. 

2 Out of 6 the 4 mouth of babes and 5 sucklings 
hast thou ordained "strength because of thine 
enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy 
and the avenger. 

3 When I 'consider thy heavens, the work 
of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which 
thou hast ordained; 

4 What d is 'man, that thou art mindful of 
him? and the son of man, that thou visitest 
him? 

5 For thou hast made him a "little lower 
than the angels, and hast crowned him with 
glory and honour. 



7. David now borrows his imagery 
from the weapons of the warrior. 
"Whet his sword" means sure pun- 
ishment. 

8. Bring forth with pain; thus his 
character and punishment are both 
described and he shall reap what he 
has sowed. 

9. His purpose will be disappoint- 
ing unto him. He shall suffer the 
effect of what he has tried to fasten 
upon another. 

Psalm 8. 

1. This Ps. was written near the 
end of David's life and celebrates the 
glory of God and the dignity of man 
in the image of God, and has been 
called the "lyric echo of the first ch. 
of Gen." 

2. Upon an instrument of this 
name, meaning of a joyous character. 

3. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 

4. The infant is a wonderful il- 
lustration of God's power, in its

mentality. 

5. Under three years of age. 

6. Laid the foundation of power. 

7. The author here rises to man's 
true rauk and greatness in the image 
of God. 

8. For a little while or time, 
lower than the angels, for the suf- 
fering of death. But the sequel shows 
that, by resurrection and ascension to 
the right hand of God, human nature 
is carried above the rank of angels, 
which illustrates the ultimate dignity 
of man in the image of God. 

9. The power belonging to the 
image of God in man, thus making 
him partly regal in his nature. 

Psalm 9. 

1. This Ps. was written by David 
after the removal of the ark to Zion 
and after a great victory over his 
enemies, and glorifies the divine gov- 
ernment for providing security to 
God's people and punishment to the 
wicked. 

2. The name or title of a tune. 

3. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God.

whole heart; I 5 will shew forth all thy mar- 
vellous works. 

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will 
sing praise to thy name, thou most High. 

3 When mine enemies are turned back, they 
shall fall and perish at thy presence. 

4 For thou hast maintained my right and 
my cause; thou safest in the throne c judging 
right. 

5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast 
destroyed the wicked, thou hast d put out their 
name for ever and ever. 

6 thou enemy, destructions are come to a 
perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; 
their memorial is perished with them. 

7 But c the 3 Lord shall endure for ever: he 
hath prepared his throne for judgment. 

8 And he shall judge c the world in right- 
eousness, he shall minister judgment to the 
people in uprightness. 

9 The 3 Lord also will be a ^refuge for the 
oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 



But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by 
Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, 
stablish, strengthen, settle you. (I Pet. 5:10.) 

f. So they hanged Haman on the gallows that be had prepared for 
Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified. (Esth. 7:10.) His own 
iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with 
the cords of his sins. (Prov. 5:22.) He that diggeth a pit shall fall 
into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. (Ece. 
10:8.) 

g. And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, wbo fell 
upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with 
the sword, thy father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son 
of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, 
captain of the host of Judah. (I Ks. 2:32.) But when Esther came be- 
fore the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which 
he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own bead, and that 
he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. (Esth. 9:25.) 

h. My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation 
all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof (15). I will go in the 
strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, 
even of thine only. (Ps. 71:15, 16.) 

Psalm 8. 

a. Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious. (Ps. 
66:2.) And blessed be his glorious name for ever; and let the whole 
earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen. (Ps. 72:19.) Let them 
praise tby great and terrible name; for it is holy. (Ps. 99:3.) If thou 
wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this 
book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD 
THY GOD. (Dt. 28:58.) As a beast gceth down into the valley, the Spirit 
of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make 
thyself a glorious name. (Is. 63:14.) And he shall stand and feed in 
the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his 
God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of 
the earth. (Micah 5:4.) But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his 
flock a male, and vowetb, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: 
for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dread- 
ful among the heathen. (Mai. 1:14.) 

b. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, Father, 
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the 
wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Mat. 11:25.) 
And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith 
unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and 
sucklings thou hast perfected praise? (Mat. 21:16.) But God hath 
chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God 
hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which 
are mighty. (I Cor. 1:27.) 

c. The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that 
have pleasure therein. (Ps. 111:2.) The heavens are thine, the earth 
also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast 
founded them. (Ps. 89:11.) Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast 
made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and 
all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou 
preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. (Neh. 
9:6.) 

d. What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou 
shouldest set thine heart upon him? fJob 7:17.) Lord, what is man, 
that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest 



account of him! (Ps. 144:3.) But one in a certain place testified, say- 
ing, What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that 
thou visitest him? (Heb. 2:6.) 

e. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl 
of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every 
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Gen. 1:26.) 

f. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith 
all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which 
did put all things under him. (I Cor. 15:27.) O Lord, how manifold 
are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full 
of thy riches. (Ps. 104:24.) See v. 1. 

Psalm 9. 

a. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I 
will glorify thy name for evermore. (Ps. 86:12.) 

b. That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell" of 
all thy wondrous works. (Ps. 26:7.) Many, Lord my God, are thy 
wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy "thoughts which are to 
us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would de- 
clare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. (Ps. 
40:5.) O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; and hitherto have I 
declared thy wondrous works. (Ps. 71:17.) We will not -hide, them 
from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of 
the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 
(Ps. 78:4.) Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all 
people. (Ps. 96:3.) O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will 
praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels 
of old are faithfulness and truth. (Is. 25:1.) 

c. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge 
the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. (Ps. 
67:4.) Say among the heathen that' the Lord reigneth: the world also 
shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the peo- 
ple righteously. (Ps. 96:10.) But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righte- 
ously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on 
them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause. (Jer. 11:20.) Who, 
when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,: he threatened 
not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. (I Pet. 
2:23.) 

d. The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked 
shall rot. (Prov. 10:7.) Let them be blotted out of the book of the 
living, and not be written with the righteous. (Ps. 69:28.) Let. me alone, 
that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: 
and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. (Dt. 
9:14.) The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord 
and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that 
are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot 
out his name from under heaven. (Dt. 29:20.) 

e. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst 
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, 
thou art God. (Ps. 90:2.) They shall perish; but thou remainest; and 
they all shall wax old as doth a garment. (Heb. 1:11.) 

f. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my 
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of 
my salvation, and my high tower. (Ps. 18:2.) Because of his strength 
will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence (9). But I will sing of 
thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou 
hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble (16).. Unto

11 Sing praises to the 3 Lord, which dwelleth 
in Zi'on: declare among the people his doings.

remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry 
of the humble. 

13 Have 'mercy upon me, 3 Lord; •'con- 
sider my trouble which I suffer of them that 
hate me, thou that liftest me up from the 
gates of death: 

14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in 
the gates of the daughter of Zi'on: I will re- 
joice in thy salvation. 

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit 
that they made: in the net which they hid is 
their own foot taken.

which he executeth: the wicked is snared in 
the work of his own hands. *Hig-ga'ion. 5 Se'-

4 The wicked, ^through the pride of his 
countenance, will not seek after God: God is

5 His ways are c always grievous; thy judg- 
ments are far above out of his sight: as for 
all his enemies, he 6 puffeth at them. 

6 He hath said in his heart, ^1 shall not

his den : he lieth in wait to catch the poor :

not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, as your 
Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.)

to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.

are swift to shed blood (15). Destruction and misery are in their ways 
(16). And the way of peace have they not known (17). There is no 
fear of God before their eyes. (Rom. 3:14-18.) 

f. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so 
cometh as a thief in the night (2). For when they shall say, Peace and 
safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a 
woman with child; and they shall not escape. (I Thes. 5:2, 3.) 

g. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them 
even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they 
speak. (Ps. 59:12.) As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as 
he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him (17). As he 
clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come 
unto his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. (Ps. 109:17, 18.) 

h. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent, adders' poison 
is under their lips. Selah. (Ps. 140:3:) Though wickedness be sweet 
in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue. (Job 20:12.) 

i. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none up- 
right among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man 
his brother with a net. (Mic. 7:2.) If they say, Come with us, let us 
lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause. 
(Prov. 1:11.) 

j. For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered 
against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord. (Ps. 
59:3.) The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none 
upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every 
man his brother with a net. (Mic. 7:2.) 

k. Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and 
Judah is exceeding great, and- the land is full of blood, and the city 
full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, 
and the Lord seeth not. (Ezek. 9:9.) 

1. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy 
blaspheme thy name for ever? (Ps. 74:10.) 

m. Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much 
more the wicked and the sinner. (Prov. 11:31.) For mine eyes are 
upon all their ways; they are not hid -from my face, neither is their 
iniquity hid from mine eyes. (Jer. 16:17.) Neither is there any creature 
that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened 
unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

n. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall 
bring it to pass. (Ps. 37:5.) Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he 
shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (Ps. 
55:22.) Use hospitality one to another without grudging. (I Pet. 4:9.)

in his holy habitation. (Ps. 68:5.) The Lord preserveth the strangers; 
he relieveth the fatherless and the widow: but the way of the wicked 
he turneth upside down. (Ps. 146:9.) 

p. And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm 
shall be broken. (Job 38:15.) For the arms of the wicked shall be 
broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. (Ps. 37:17.)

wicked. (Ps. 82:3, 4.) But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, 
and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite 
the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips 
shall he slay the wicked. (Is. 11:4.) The Lord also will be a refuge 
for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. (Ps. 9:9.) O let not 
the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 
(Ps. 74:21.) 

Psalm 11. 

a. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, 
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put 
their trust in him. (Ps. 2:12.) 

b. But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence 
before him. (Hab. 2:20.) 

c. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: 
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom 
we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

d. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt 
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I 
am. (Gen. 22:1.) Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for 
when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath 
promised to them that love him. (Ja. 1:12.) 

e. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, 
thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 
(Ps. 45:7.) 

Psalm 12. 

a. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and mer- 
ciful men are taken away, none considering '.hat the righteous is taken 
away from the evil to come. (Is. 57:1.) Thf, good man is perished out 
of the earth: and there is none upright among men. (Mic. 7:2.) 

b. And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity; his heart gather- 
eth iniquity to itself, when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. (Ps. 41:6.) 
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand 
of falsehood. (Ps. 144:8.) 

c. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of 
iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their 
hearts. (Ps. 28:3.) The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, 
but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they 
drawn swords. (Ps. 55:21.) Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it 
speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, 
but in heart he layeth his wait. (Jer. 9:8.) 

d. They are corrupt and speak wickedly concerning oppression: 
they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their 
tongue walketh through the earth. (Ps. 73:8. 9.) I considered the horns, 
and behold there come up among them another little horn, before whom 
there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots; and behold 
in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great 



things. (Dan 7:8.) And there was given unto him a mouth speaking 
great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to con- 
tinue forty and two months. (Rev. 13:5.) 

e. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people 
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task- 
masters; for I know their sorrows (7). And I am come down to de- 
liver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out 
of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk 
and honey. (Ex. 3:7, 8.) » 

f. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he 
is a buckler to all them that trust in him. (II Sam. 22:31.) As for God 
his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all 
those that trust in him. (Ps. 18:30.) The statutes of the Lord are 
right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, en- 
lightening the eyes (8). The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for 
ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether (9). 
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter 
also than honey and the honeycomb. (Ps. 19:8-10.) Thy word is very 
pure. (Ps. 119:140.) 

g. For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; 
they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 
(Ps. 37:28.) Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls 
of his saints: he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. (Ps. 
97:10.) 

h. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen 
violence and strife in the city (9). Day and night they go about it upon 
the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it (10). 
Wickedness is in the midst thereof; deceit and guile depart not from her 
streets. (Ps. 55:9-11.) 

Psalm 13. 

a. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and 
I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall 
be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that 
they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our 
God is not among us? (Dt. 31:17.) 

b. And now for a little space grace hath been showed from the 
Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in 
his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little 
reviving in our bondage. (Ezra 9:8.) 

c. In their heat, I will make their feasts^ and I will make them 
drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not 
wake, saith the Lord. (Jer. 51:39.) 

d. O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against 
this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to 
do: but our eyes are upon thee. (II Chr. 20:12.) But I am like a 
green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for 
ever and ever. (Ps. 52:8.) 

e. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bounti- 
fully with thee. (Ps. 116:7.) Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I 
may live and keep thy word. (Ps. 119:17.) The righteous shall com- 
pass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. (Ps. 142:7.)

Psalm 14. 

a. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek 
after God: God is not in all his thoughts. (Ps. 10:4.) 

b. The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of 
men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the in- 
habitants of the earth. (Ps. 33:13, 14.) For he hath looked down from 
the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth. 
(Ps. 102:19.) 

c. Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; 
arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God, into 
the house that is to be built to th'e name of the Lord. (I Chr. 22:19.) 
And the children of Israel, which were come again ont of captivity, and 
all such as had separated themselves nnto them from the filthiness of 
the heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel, did eat. (Ezra 
6:21.) 

d. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh 
iniquity like water? (Job 15:16.) There is a generation that are pure in 
their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. (Prow 
>:12.) And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the 
wicked. (II Pet. 2:7.) 

e. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon 
me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. (Ps. 27:2.) For they 
have eaten up Jacob and devoured him, and consumed him, and have 
made his habitation desolate. (Jer. 10:25.) Hear this, O ye that swal- 
low up the needv, even to make the poor of the land to fail. (Amos 
8:4.) 

f. But I am poor and needy: yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou 
art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. (Ps. 40:li.) 
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Ps. 
46:1.) I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my 
portion in the land of the living. (Ps. 142:5.) For thou hast been a 
strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge 
from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible 
ones is as a storm against the wall. (Is. 25:4.) O Lord, my strength, 
and my fortress and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles 
shail come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely 
our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no 
profit. (Jer. 16:19.) 

Psalm 15. 

a. He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that 
despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding 
bribes, that stoppeth hi* ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his 
eyes from seeing evil (15). He shall dwell on high: his place of defense 
shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his water 
shall be sure, f Is. 33:15. 16.) Who shall ascend into the hill of the 
Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? (?.). He that hath clean 
hands, and a pure heart: who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, 
nor sworn deceitfully (4). He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, 
and righteousness from the God of his salvation. (Ps. 24:3-5.) 

b. He that hath clean hands and a pure heart: who hath not lifted 
up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. (Ps. 24:4.) He that 
walketh righteously and speaketh uprightly. (Is. 33:15.) 



c. Behold thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hid- 
den part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. (Ps. 51:6.) Speak ye 
every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth 
and peace in your gates. (Zeeh. 8:16.) If so be that ye have heard 
him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus. (Eph. 4:21.) 

d. Who so privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off. (Ps. 
101:5.) Thou shalt not go up and down as a tale-bearer among thy 
people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I 
am the Lord. (Lev. 19:16.) He that hideth hatred with lying lips, 
and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. (Prov. 10:18.) 

e. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also 
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith 
(8). But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest 
unto all men, as theirs also was (9). (II Tim. 3:8, 9.) 

f. And it came to pass when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, 
and said, Alas, my daughter; thou hast brought me very low, and thou 
art one of them that trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto 
the Lord, and I cannot go back. (Jud. H:35.) 

g. He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any 
increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed 
true judgment between man and man (8). Hath walked in my statutes. 
and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely 
live, saith the Lord God. (Ezek. 18:8, 9.) If thou lend money to any 
of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an 
usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. (Ex. 22:25.) Take thou 
no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may 
live with thee. (Lev. 25:36.) 

Psalm 16. 

a. O keep my soul and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I 
put my trust in thee. (Ps. 25:20.) 

b. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the 
Lord, mercy shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) 

c. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my 
heart, arid my portion "for ever. (Ps. 73:26.) Thou art my portion, 
Lord. (Ps. 119:57.) The Lord is my portion, saith my soul. (Lam. 3:24.; 

d. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always 
before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be 
moved (25). Therefore 'did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; 
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope (26). Because thou wilt not 
leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see 
corruption (27). Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou 
shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. (Acts 2:25-28.) 

e. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave; for 
he shall receive me. Selah. (Ps. 49:15.) Because thou wilt not leave 
my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corrup- 
tion. (Acts 2:27.) Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see cor- 
ruption. (Acts 13:35.) 

f. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy 
holy city, to 'finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and 
to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting right- 
eousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most 
Holy. (Dan. 9:24.)

1 David 1 craveth defence of God against his 
enemies. 10 He sheweth their pride, craft,

in confidence of his hope. 

A Prayer of Da'vid. 

1 Hear s the right, 2 Lord, attend unto my 
cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not 
out of 4 feigned lips. 

2 Let my sentence come forth from thy pres- 
ence; let thine eyes behold the things that 
are equal.

visited me in the night; thou hast "tried me, 
and shalt 7 find nothing; 1 am purposed that 
my mouth b shall not transgress.

word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths 
of the destroyer. 

5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my

PSALM 18. 
David 1 praiseth God for his manifold and mar- 
vellous blessings. 
To the chief Musician, A 2 Psalm of Da'vid, the 
servant of the Lord, who spake unto the 
Lord the words of this song in the day that 
the Lord delivered him from the hand of all 
his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 
And he said, 

1 I will love thee, O 3 Lord, my strength. 

2 The 3 Lord a is my 4 rock, and my fortress, 
and my deliverer; my God, my strength, 6 in 
whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of 
my salvation, and my high tower. 

3 I will call upon the s Lord, c who is worthy 
to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine 
enemies. 

4 The a sorrows of death compassed me, and 
the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 

5 The ''sorrows of hell compassed me about: 
the ^snares of death prevented me. 

6 In my distress I e called upon the z Lord, 
and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out 
of his temple-, and my cry came before him, 
even into his ears. 

7 7 Then Hhe earth shook and trembled; the 
foundations also of the hills moved and were 
shaken, because he was wroth. 

8 There went up a s smoke out of his nos- 
trils, and fire out of his mouth devoured : coals 
were kindled by it.

down: and darkness was under his feet.

shall come forth as gold. (Job 23:10.) Examine me, O Lord, and prove 
me: try my reins and my heart. (Ps. 26:2.) 

b. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in 
word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before

of his eye. (Zech. 2:8.)

fore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. (Ps. 63:7.) He that

the dog. (Ps. 22:20.) 

h. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of 
the wicked (3). For there are no bands in their death; but their 
strength is firm (4). They are not in trouble as other men; neither are 
they plagued like other men (5). Therefore pride compasseth them 
about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment (6). Their eyes 
stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. (Ps. 
73:3-7.) But Abraham said, Son, remember that tbou in thy lifetime re- 



ceivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he 
is comforted, and thou art tormented. (Luke 16:25.) 

i. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear 
what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be 
like him; for we shall see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) For the righteous 
Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. 
(Ps: 11:7.) 

Psalm 18. 

a. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, 
if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 
(Ps. 28:1.) For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy 
name's sake lead me and guide me. (Ps. 31:3.) I will say unto God my 
rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the 
oppression of the enemy? (Ps. 42:9.) When the Most High divided to the 
nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set 
the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of 
Israel. (Dt. 32:8.) For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock 
save our God? (31) The Lord liveth; and blessed be my Rock; and let 
the God of my salvation be exalted. (Ps. 18:31, 46.7 

b. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; 
in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) And again, I will put my trust in 
him. (Heb. 2:13.) 

c. Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of 
prey (4). Vow, and pray unto the Lord your God: let all that be round 
about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. (Ps. 
76:4, 11.) 

d. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat 
hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Ps. .116:3.) 

e. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee and 
thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 50:15.) Thou shalt make thy prayer unto 
him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. (Job 22:27.) 
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer 
me. (Ps. 86:7.) Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am 
in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer 
me speedily. (Ps. 102:2.) 

f. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they 
were assembled together: and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 
and they spake the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:31.) O God. 
when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march 
through the wilderness; Selah (7); The earth shook, the heavens also 
dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the 
presence of God, the God of Israel. (Ps. 68:7, 8.) Therefore I will 
shako the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the 
wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. (Is 
13:13.) 

g. The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the 
cherubim; let the earth be moved. (Ps. 99:1.) Thou that dwellest be- 
tween the cherubim, shine forth. (Ps. 80:1.)

11 He made darkness his "secret place; his 
'pavilion round about him were dark 12 waters

12 At the """brightness that was before him 
his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals

15 Then the channels of waters were seen, 
and the foundations of the world were dis- 
covered at thy rebuke, O 3 Lord, at the blast of 
the breath of thy nostrils. 

16 He sent from above, he took me, he 
drew me out of many waters. 

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, 
and from them which hated me: for they were 
too strong for me. 

18 They 17 prevented me in the day of my

pure. (Ps. 119:140.) Every word of God is pure. (Prov. 30:5.) 

x. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord: neither

made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy 
name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things; thou art God 
alone. (Ps. 86:8-10.) I am the Lord and there is none else, there is no

keepeth the law, happy is he. (Prov. 29:18.) 

n. For innumerable evils have compassed me about; mine iniquities 
have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are

attain unto it. (Ps. 139:6.) 

o. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness:

from my sin. (Ps. 51:1, 2.)

the land or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul

God their redeemer. (Ps. 78:35.) For I know that my redeemer liv- 
eth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. (Job

thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Is.

the day when I call answer me speedily. (Ps. 102:2.) And I will make 
there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, 
and was with me in the way which I went. (Gen. 35:3.) 

b. Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice

2 my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou 
hearest not; and in the night season, and am 
not silent. 

3 But thou art holy, °0 thou that inhabitest 
the praises of Is'ra-el. 

4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, 
and thou didst deliver them. 

5 They d eried unto thee, and were delivered: 
they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 

6 But I am a worm, and no man; a re- 
proach € of men, and despised of the people. 

7 All Hhey that see me laugh me to scorn: 
they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, 
saying, 

8 He 'trusted on the Lord that he would 
deliver him: let him deliver him, Sseeing he 
delighted in him. 

9 But thou art he that took me out of the 
womb: thou didst make me hope when I was 
upon my mother's breasts. 

10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: 
thou art mv God from mv mother's bellv.

the paths #of righteousness for his name's

4 Yea, though I walk 'through the valley 
of the shadow of death, I will -'fear no evil : 
kfor thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff 
they comfort me. 

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the 
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my 
head with oil; my cup runneth over.

bread nor clothing; make me not a ruler of the people. (Is. 3:7.) And

knees shall be weak" as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought

thee, that I cut thee not off. (Is. 48:9.) O Lord, though our iniquities

shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and 
thy right hand shall save me. (Ps. 138:7.) 

j. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the 
Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) 
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world 
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let 
it be afraid. (Jno. 14:27.) And the peace of God, which passeth all 
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 
(Phil. 4:7.) 

k. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee: and 
through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest 
through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kin- 
dle upon thee. (Is. 43:2.) 

1. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: ac- 
cording to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake. O 
Lord (7). All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as 
keep his covenant and his testimonies. (Ps. 25:7, 10.) 

m. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were 
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, 
eternal in the heavens. (II Cor. 5:1.) One thing have I desired of the 
Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord 
all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to en- 
quire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his 
pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set 
me up upon a' rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine en-

rebellion of Absalom and draws the 
line between the righteous and the 
wicked and expresses strong confi-

my foes, came upon me to eat 3 up my flesh, 
they 4 stumbled and fell.

my heart shall not c fear: though war should 
rise against me, in this will I be confident.

that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the 
house of the 2 Lord all the days of my life, to 
behold the 5 beauty of the Lord, and to enquire 
'in his temple. 

5 For fin the time of trouble he shall hide 
me in his "pavilion : in the secret of his taber- 
nacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon 
a rock. 

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up 
above mine enemies round about me: there- 
fore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices 
of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises 
unto the 2 Lord.

years with sighing: my strength faileth be- 
cause of mine iniquity, and my bones are con-

Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Ps. 91:1.) 

i. Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am 
the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by 
the way that thou shouldest go. (Is. 48:17.) Good and upright is the 
Lord; therefore will he teach sinners in the way. (Ps. 25:8.) 

j. An horse is a vain thing for safety; neither shall he deliver any 
by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that 
fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. (Ps. 33:17, 18.) He with- 
draweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the 
throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. (Job 
36:7.) 

k. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, 



of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) Him that dieth 
of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the 
fields shall the fowls of the air eat. (I Ks. 16:4.) Evil pursueth sin- 
ners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 13:21.) 

1. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in miue integrity: ) 
have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. (Ps. 28:1.) 1 
have hated them that regard lying vanities; but I trust in the Lord. 
(Ps. 31:6.) In God I will praise his word, in Gcd I have put my trust; 
I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Ps. 56:4.) In thee, Lord, 
do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy 
righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me and 
save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually 
resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock 
and my fortress. (Ps. 71:1-3.) I will say of the Lord. He is my refuge 
and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) And again, I 
will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which 
God hath given me. (Heb. 2:13.) O taste and see that the Lord is good: 
blessed is the man that trusteth in him. (Ps. 34:8.) Lord of hosts, 
blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. (Ps. 84:12.) Blessed is the man 
that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) 

m. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; 
and all the upright in heart shall glory. (Ps. 64:10.) But let the right- 
eous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly re- 
joice. (Ps. 68:3.) Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks 
at the remembrance of his holiness. (Ps. 97:12.) 

Psalm 33. 

a. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for 
joy, all ye that are upright in heart. (Ps. 32:11.) Finally, my breth- 
ren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same thing to you, to me in- 
deed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. (Phil. 3:1.) Rejoice in the 
Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice. (Phil. 4:4.) 

b. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our 
God: many shall see it ( and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. (Ps. 40:3.) 
O sing unto ihe Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. 
(Ps. 96:1.) O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done mar- 
vellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the 
victory. (Ps. 98:1.) I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a 
psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 
(Ps. 144:9.) Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the 
end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; 
the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. (Is. 42:10.) 

c. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the com- 
mandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. (Ps. 19:8.) 

d. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and 
the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All 
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made 
that was made. (John 1:1-3.) For this they willingly are ignorant of, 
that b7 the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth stand- 
ing out of the water and in the water. (II Pet. 3:5.) 

e. And Moses said unto the people. Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you. and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 
(Ex. 20:20. ) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good 
understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise en- 
dureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole 
matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole 
duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) That all the people of the earth might know 
the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord 
your God for ever. (Josh. 4:24.) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: 
pride, and arrogancy. and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I 
hate. (Prov. 8:13.) By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the 
fear of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.)

Psalm 34

10 The : Lord bringeth the counsel of the 
heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of 
the people of none effect. 

11 The counsel of the "Lord standeth for 
ever, the thoughts of his heart to all genera- 
tions. 

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the 
2 Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen 
for his own inheritance. 

13 The 2 Lord looketh from heaven; he be- 
holdeth all the sons of men. 

14 From the place of his habitation he 
looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 

15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; #he 
considereth all their works. 

16 There is no king saved by the multitude 
of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by 
much strength. 

17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: 
neither shall he deliver any by his great 
strength. 

18 Behold, the ''eye of the 2 Lord is upon 
them that c fear him, upon them that hope in 
his mercy; 

19 To deliver ''their soul from death, and 
to keep them alive in famine. 

20 Our soul waiteth for the 2 Lord: he is 
our help and our shield.

away, and he departed. 

1 I will bless the 3 Lord at all times: his 
praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

2 My soul shall make a her "boast in the 
Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be 
glad. 

3 magnify the 3 Lord with me, and let us 
exalt his name together. 

4 I ^sought the 3 Lord, and he heard me, and 
delivered me from all my fears. 

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened : 
and their faces were not ashamed. 

6 This poor c man cried, and the 3 Lord heard 
him, and d saved him out of all his troubles. 

7 c The 5 angel of the 3 Lord fencampeth round 
about them that fear him, and delivereth 
them. 

8 ^taste and see that the 3 Lord is good: 
blessed is the man that Hrusteth in him. 

9 ! fear the 3 Lord, ye his saints: for there 
is ^"no want to them that fear him. 

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hun- 
ger: but they that 7c seek the 3 Lord shall not 
want any good thing. 

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I 
will teach you the fear of the "Lord. 

12 "What 'man is he that desireth life, and 
loveth many days, that he may see good? 

13 Keep thy '"tongue from evil, and thy 
lips from "speaking guile. 

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek 
peace, and pursue it. 

15 °The eyes of the 3 Lord are upon the 
righteous, and his ears are open unto their 
cry. 

16 The face *>of the 3 Lord is against them 



f. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole 
earth, 10 show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect 
toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from hence- 
forth thou shalt have wars. (II Chr. 16:9.) For he looketh to the ends 
of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven. (Job 28:24.) The Lord 
looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there 
were any that did understand, and seek God. (Ps. 14:2.) The eyes of the 
Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Prov. 15:3.) 
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they 
on the thrones; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalt- 
ed. (Job 36:7.) 

g. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his go- 
ings. (Job. 34:21.) Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes 
are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one ac- 
cording to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 
32:19.) 

h. See ch. 15, II Chr. 

i. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) With the merciful thou wilt show thy- 
self merciful: with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. (Ps. 
18:25.) Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, 
thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine 
anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will 
not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, as your 
Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) And the publican, standing afar 
off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon 
his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) 

Psalm 34. 

a. But let him that glorietb. glory in this, that he understandeth and 
knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness, judg- 
ment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith 
the Lord. (Jer. 9:24.) That, according as it is written. He that glorieth, 
let him glory in_ the Lord. (I Cor. 1:31.) But he that glorieth, let 
him glory in the Lord. (II Cor. 10:17.) 

b. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find: knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy 
name will put their trust in thee: for thou. Lord, hast, not forsaken 
them that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and said 
unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is 
with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found 
of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 

c. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of 
his holy hill. Selah. (Ps. 3:4.) Therefore thou deliveredst them into 
the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their 
trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; 
and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who 
saved them out of the hand of their enemies. (Neh. 9:27.) They cried 
unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not con- 
founded. (Ps. 22:5.) Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he 
heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) 

d. And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the 
day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, 
and out of the hand of Saul. (II Sam. 22:1.) There is no wisdom nor 
understanding nor counsel against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) Thou art 
my hiding place: thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt com- 
pass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. (Ps. 32:7.) Him, be- 
ing delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye 



have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. (Acts 2:23.) 
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be 
against us? (Rom. 8:31.) . 

e. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, 
that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was 
found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. (Dan. 
6:22.) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for 
them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) For he shall give 
his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. (Ps. 91:11.) 

f. And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 
(Gen. 32:1.) And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his 
eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; 
and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots 
of fire round about Elisha. (II Ks. 6:17.) And I will encamp about mine 
house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because 
of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any 
more: for now have I seen with mine eyes. (Zech. 9:8.) 

g. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than 
honey to my mouth! (Ps. 119:103.) And have tasted the good word of 
God, and the powers of the world to come. (Heb. 6:5.) If so be ye have 
tasted that the Lord is gracious. (I Pet. 2:3.) 

h. See 1, Ps. 32. 

i. See e, Ps. 32. 

j. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in 
glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19.) The Lord is my shepherd; I shall 
not want. (Ps. 23:1.) 

k. See c, Ps. 34. 

1. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his 
tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile (10). Let him 
eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it (11). For 
the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto_ 
their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.' 
(I Pet. 3:10-12.) 

m. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my 
lips. (Ps. 141:3.) He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he 
that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. (Prov. 13:3.) If any 
man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but 
deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. (Js. 1:26.) 

n. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, 
he threatened not: but committed himself to him that judgeth right- 
eously. (I Pet. 2:23.) He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous; 
but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them 
for ever, and they are exalted. (Job 36:7.) Behold, the eye of the Lord 
is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. (Ps. 
33:18.) For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears 
are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them 
that do evil. (I Pet. 3:12.) 

o. He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with king? 
are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they 
are exalted. (Job. 36:7.) Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that 
fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. (Ps. 33:18.) For the eyes

3:12.) 

p. And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the 
strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood: I

10 All my bones shall say, 3 Lord, i'who is 
like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from 
him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor 
and the needy from him that spoileth him? 

11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid 
to my charge things that I knew not. 

12 They reivarded h me evil for good to the 
spoiling of my soul. 

13 But as for me, when they were sick, my 
clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul 
with fasting; and my prayer returned into 
mine own bosom. 

14 I behaved myself as though he had been 
my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, 
as one that mourneth for his mother. 

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and 
gathered themselves together: yea, the objects 
gathered themselves together against me, and 
I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased

gnashed upon me with their teeth.

my soul from their destructions, my darling

people. 

19 Let not them that are mine enemies 
'wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them 
wink with the eye that -hate me without a 

■cause. 

20 For they speak not peace: but they de-

seen it. 



of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for 
evil, and to cut off all Judah. (Jer. 44:11.) And though they go into 
captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and 
it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and 
not for good. (Amos 9:4.) 

q. The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked 
shall rot. (Prov. 10:7.) O thou enemy, destructions are come to a per- 
petual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished 
with them. (Ps. 9:6.) Let them be before the Lord continually, that 
he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. (Ps. 109:15.) His 
remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name 
in the street. (Job 18:17.) 

r. Be not afraid of their faces; for I am with thee to deliver thee, 
saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my 
helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:6.) If 
it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning 
fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. (Dan. 
3:17.) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For 
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 
(Mat. 6:13.) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and fore- 
knowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified 
and slain: (Acts 2:23.) Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve 
me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. 
Selah. (Ps. 32:7.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel 
against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) What shall we then say to these 
things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

s. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call 
upon him in truth. (Ps. 145:18.) Jesus answered and said unto him, If 
a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, 
and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (Jno. 14:23.) 
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, 
ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (Ja. 4:8.) 

t. He healeth the broken in heart, and .bindeth up their wounds. 
(Ps. 147:3.) And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet 
Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where 
it was written (17), The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath 
anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal 
the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering 
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. (Luke 
4:17, 18.) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord 
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent 
me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and" 
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) 

u. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and contrite 
heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Ps. 51:17.) For thus saith the high 
and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in 
the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble 
spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the 
contrite ones. (Is. 57:15.) 

v. For these tilings were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, 
A bone of him fihall not be broken. (Jno. 19:36.) 

w. And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut. 



them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them 
off. (Ps. 94:23.) Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: 
evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. (Ps. 140:11.) For a 
just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked shall 
fall into mischief. (Prov. 24:16.) 

x. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, 
which thou hast redeemed. (Ps. 71:23.) Who redeemeth thy life from 
destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies. 
(Ps. 103:4.) O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast 
redeemed my life. (Lam. 3:58.) 

Psalm 35. 

a. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and 
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not 
known shall serve me. (Ps. 18:43.) But thus saith the Lord, Even the 
captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible 
shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with 
thee, and I will save thy children. (Is. 49:25.) 

b. Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. (Ps. 
44:26.) 

c. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after 
my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame 
that wish me evil. (Ps. 40:14.) Let them all be confounded and turned 
back that hate Zion. (Ps. 129:5.) 

d. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from 
whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be 
able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which 
thou shalt not know. (Is. 47:11.) For when they shall say, Peace and 
safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a 
woman with child; and they shall not escape. (I Thes. 5:3.) 

e. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which 
he made. (Ps. 7:15.) Keep me from the snares which they have laid 
for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity (9). Let the wicked fall 
into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. (Ps. 141:9, 10.) His 
own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holdcn 
with the cords of his sins. (Prov. 5:22.) The heathen are sunk down in 
the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot 
taken. (Ps. 9:15.) 

f. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy 
salvation. (Ps. 13:5.) Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise 
is comely for the upright. (Ps. 33:1.) 

g. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, 
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Ex. 15:11.) 
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: 
O God, who is like unto thee! (Ps. 71:19.) 

h. They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; be- 
cause I follow the thing that good is. (Ps. 38:20.) And they have re- 
warded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. (Ps. 109:5.) Shall evil 
be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Re- 
member that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn 
away thy wrath from them. (Jer. 18:20.) Jesus answered them, Many 
good works I have shown you from my Father; for which of those 
works do ye stone me? (Jno. 10:32.)

22 This thou 'hast seen, ""Lord: keep not 
silence: O 3 Lord, be not far from me. 

23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judg- 
ment, even unto my cause, my God and my 
3 Lord. 

24 Judge me, 3 Lord my God, according to 
'thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice 
over me. 

25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, 
so would we have it: let them not say, We 
have swallowed nim up. 

26 Let them oe ashamed and brought to con- 
fusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let 
them be clothed with shame and dishonour that 
magnify themselves against me. 

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that 
favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say 
continually, Let the s Lord be magnified, which 
hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. 

28 And my tongue shall speak of thy right- 
eousness and of thy praise all the day long. 

TSALM 36.

excellency of God's mercy. 10 David pray- 

eth for favour to God's children. 

To the chief Musician, A Tsalm of Da'vid the 

servant of the Lord. 

1 The transgression of the "wicked saith 
within my heart, that there is no 6 fear of God 
before his eyes. 

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, 
until his iniquity be found to be hateful. 

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and 
deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do 
good. 

4 He c deviseth mischief upon his bed; he 
setteth himself in a way that is not good; he 
abhorreth not evil. 

5 Thy a mercy, 3 Lord, is in the heavens; 
and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. 

6 Thy righteousness is like the great moun- 
tains; c thy judgments are a great deep: 
3 Lord, ''thou preservest man and beast. 



Psalm 36. 



1. This Ps. was written on the 
occasion of the wars with the As- 
syrians, founded on II Ks. 19:35 and 
Is. 37. Its subject is God's deliver- 
ance of his people. 



2. A title, as, "Paul, an apostle of 

Jesus Christ." 



3. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 
God. 



1. Ps. 37 was written on an occa- 
sion- of great affliction, when for a 
time it seems that the author was 
;ilniost ready to despair; but, when 
he considers past blessings and de- 
liverances, triumphant faith comes 
to him. The theme is that of a di- 
vine, rewarding providence; the pur- 
pose, to check and reprove the im- 
patience of complaint.

7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O 
God! therefore the children of men ffput their 
trust under the shadow of thy wings. 

3 They shall be abundantly satisfied with 
the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make 
them drink of ft the river of thy pleasures. 

9 For 'with thee is the fountain of life: 
in thy light shall we see light. 

10 continue thy lovingkindness unto them 
that know thee; and thy righteousness to the 
upright in -heart. 

11 Let not the foot of pride come against 
me, and let not the hand of the wicked re- 
move me.

they are cast down, and shall not be able to 
rise. 

TSALM 37. 
David persuadeth to patience and confidence 
in God, by the different estate of the godly 
and the wicked. 

A Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 Fret a not thyself because of evildoers, 
neither be thou envious against the workers of 
iniquity. 

2 For 2 they shall s soon be cut down like the 
grass, and wither as the green 'herb. 

3 4 Trust c in the 'Lord, and do good; so shalt 
thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt 
be fed. 

4 Delight d thyself also in the 3 Lord; and he 
shall give thee the desires e of thine heart. 

5 Commit ''thy way unto the 3 Lord; trust 
also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 

6 And he shall ^bring forth thy righteous- 
ness as the light, and thy judgment as the 
noonday. 

7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for 
him : rf f ret not thyself because of him who 
prospereth in his way, because of the man 
who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

out your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

to give every man according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Where- 
fore, if meat make my brother to offend. I will eat no flesh while the

we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will 
recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his peo- 
ple. (Heb. 10:30.) 

Psalm 36. 

a. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil,

(Prov. 4:16.) 

d. See i, Ps. 33. 

e. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge 
of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding 
out. (Rom. 11:33.) Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great 
waters, and thy footsteps are hoc known. (Ps. 77:19.) It is as high as 
heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

service of man : that he may bring forth food out of the earth. (Ps. 
104:14.) Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every liv- 
ing thing. (Ps. 145:16.) Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast 
made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and 
all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou 
preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. (Neh.

shall be thy shield and buckler. (Ps. 91:4.)

22:1.) 

i. In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of Da- 
vid, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. 
(Zech. 13:1.) Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the 
gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou 
wouldest have askad of him, and he would have given thee living water. 
(Jno. 4:10.) For my people have committed two evils; they have for- 
saken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, 
broken cisterns, that can hold no water. (Jer. 2:13.) 

Psalm 37. 

a. Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the

men, neither be thou envious at the wicked. (Prov. 24:19.) 

b. He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down; he fleeth also as a 
shadow, and continueth not. (Job 14:2.) In the morning it flourisheth, 
and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. (Ps. 
90:6.) When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers 
of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever. (Ps. 
92:7.) 

c. See 1, Ps. 32. 

d. Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause 
thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the 
heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth cf the Lord hath spoken it. 
(Is. 58:14.) In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts 
delight my soul. (Ps. 94:19.) For then shalt thou have thy delight in 
the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. (Job. 22:26.) Then 
shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride 
upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of 
Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 58:14.) 

e. Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden 
the request of his lips. Selah. (Ps. 21:2.) He will fulfil the desire of 
them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 
(Ps. 145:19.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; 
knock, and it shall be opened unto you (7). For every one that asketh 
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall 
be opened. (Mat. 7:7, 8.) 

f. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he 
shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (Ps. 55:22.) Commit thy 
works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. (Prov. 16:3.) 

- Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (I Pet. 5:7.) 

g. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned 
against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: 
he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. 
(Mic. 7:9.) Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the up- 
right in heart. (Ps. 97:11.) Then shall thy light break forth as the 
morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteous- 
ness shall go before thee: the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward (8). 
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted 
soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the 
noon-day. (Is. 58:8, 10.)

PSALMS 



Psalm 37 



8 Cease from anger, and ^forsake wrath : 
'fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 

9 For J evildoers shall be cut off: but those 
that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the 
earth. 

10 For yet a little while, '-'and the wicked 
shall not be: yea. thou shalt diligently con- 
sider his place, and it shall not be. 

11 But the ? meek shall inherit the earth; 
and shall delight themselves in the abundance 
of peace. 

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and 
gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he 
seeth that '"his day is coming. 

14 The "wicked have drawn out the sword, 
and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor 
and needy, and to slay such as be of upright 
conversation. 

15 Their "sword shall enter into their own 
heart, and their bows shall be broken. 

16 A "little that a righteous man hath is 
better than the riches of many wicked. 

17 For the arms °of the wicked shall be 
broken: but the s Lord ^upholdeth the right- 
eous. 

18 The s Lord sknoweth the days of the up- 
right: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 

19 They shall not be 'ashamed in the evil 
time: and s in the days of famine they shall 
be satisfied. 

20 But the wicked f shall perish, and the 
enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of 
lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall 
they consume away. 

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not 
again : but the righteous "sheweth mercy, and 
giveth. 



5. The word "good" is not in the 
original. The Psalmist uses the word 
"man" in its noblest sense, in contra- 
distinction to mean man. 



22 For such as be blessed of him shall in- 
herit the earth; and they that be r cursed of 
him shall be cut off. 

23 The ir steps of a "good man are ordered 
by the s Lord: and he delighteth in his way. 

24 Though -The fall, he shall not be utterly 
cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with 
his hand. 

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet 
have I not seen the righteous ^forsaken, nor 
his seed begging bread. 

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and 
his seed is blessed. 

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dweH 
for evermore. 

28 For the Lord 2 loveth judgment, and »for- 
saketh not his saints; they are preserved for 
ever: but the seed of the aa wicked shall be cut 
off. 

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and 
dwell therein for ever. 

30 The mouth 66 of the righteous speaketh 
wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 

31 The law cc of his God is in his heart; 
none of his steps shall slide. 

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and 
seeketh to slay him. 

33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, 
nor ^condemn him when he is judged. 

34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and 
he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: 'when 
the_ aa wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, 
and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: 
yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the 
upright: for the 6,, end of that man is peace. 



h. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil 
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. (Eph. 4:31.) But now 
ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy com- 
munication out of your mouth. (Col. 3:S.) 

i. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of 
the wicked. (Ps. 73:3.) Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go 
down upon your wrath. (Eph. 4:26.) 

j. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, 
of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) I also could speak 
as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words 
against you, and shake mine head at you. (Job. 16:4.) Evil pursueth 
sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 13:21.) Many 
sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy 
shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) 

k. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place 
know him any more. (Job 7:10.) See vs. 35, 36. 

1. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Mat. 5:5.) 

m. David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite 
him: or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and 
perish. (I Sam. 26:10.) They that come after him shall be astonished at 
his day. as they that went before were affrighted. (Job. 1S:20.) 

n. But godliness with contentment is great gain. (I Tim. 6:6.) 
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their 
corn and their wine increased. (Ps. 4:7.) Better is little with the fear 
of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. (Prov. 15:16.) 
Better is a- little with righteousness than great revenues without right. 
(Prov. 16:8.) 

o. Break thou the arm .of the wicked and the evil man: seek out 
his wickedness till thou find none. (Ps. 10:lo.) And from the wicked 
their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. (Job 3S:15.) 
Son of man, J have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt: and lo, 
it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make 
it strong to hold the sword. (Ezek. 30:21.) 

p. By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that 
took me out of my mothers bowels: my praise shall be continually of 
thee. (Ps. 71:6.) The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all 
those that be bowed down. (Ps. 145:14.) 

q. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of 
the ungodly shall perish. (Ps. 1:6.) I will be glad and rejoice in thy 
mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul 
in adversities. (Ps. 31:7.) 

r. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not 
be ashamed. (Rom. 10:11.) In thee. O Lcrd. do I put my trust: let me 
never be ashamed; deliver me in thy righteousness. (Ps. 3i:l.) O myGod, 
I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph 
over me. (Ps. 25:2.) 

s. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the 
power of the sword. (Job 5:20.) To deliver their soul from death, and 
to keep them alive in famine. (Ps. 33:19.) 

t. For lo. they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast de- 
stroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. (Ps. 73:27.) As smoke is 
driven away, so drive them away: as wax rnelteth before the fire, so let 
the wicked perish at the presence of God. (Ps. 68:2.) For my days are 
'■onsumed like smoke, and mv bones ate burned as an hearth. (Ps. 
102:3.) 

u. A good man soweth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs 
with discretion. (Ps. 112:5.) But love ye your enemies, and do good, 
and lend, hoping for nothing again: and your reward shall be great, and 
ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the un- 



thankful and to the evil. (Luke 6:35.) As it is written. He hath dis- 
persed abroad: he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth 
for ever. (II Cor. 9:9.) 

v. The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he 
blesseth the habitation of the just. (Prov. 3:33.) If ye will not hear, 
and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto" my name, saith 
the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse 
your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ve do not lav 
it to heart. (Mai. 2:2.) 

w. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee 
will net slumber. (Ps. 121:3.) A man's heart deviseth his wav: but the 
Lord directeth his steps. (Prov. 16:9.) He brought me up also out of 
an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and 
established my goings. (Ps. 40:2.) Which holdeih our soul in life, and 
suffereth not our feet to be moved. (Ps. 66:9.) O that my ways were 
directed to keep thy statutes! (Ps. 119:5.) 

x. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall. I shall arise: 
when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Mic. 7:8. i 
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed. (II Cor. 
4:9.) For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the 
wicked shail fall into mischief. (Prov. 24:16.) The Lord upholdeth all 
that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. (Ps. 145:14.) 

y. When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and 
their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of 
Israel will not forsake them. (Is. 41:17.) Let your conversation be with- 
out covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he 
hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. (Heb. 13:5.) For the 
Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints: they are preserved 
for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. (Ps. 37:28.) 

z. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness: his countenance 
doth behold the upright. (Ps. 11:7.) He loveth righteousness and judg- 
ment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. (Ps. 33:5.) 

aa. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed 
from among the children of men. (Ps. 21:10.1 But the wicked shall be 
cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. 
(Prov. 2:22.) Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou 
hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evil-doers shall 
never be renowned. (Is. 14:20.) 

bb. In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: 
but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. (Prov. 
10:13.) With mv lips have I declared all the judgments of thv mouth. 
(Ps. 119:13.) 

cc. I delight to do thy will. O my God: yea, thy law is within my 
heart. (Ps. 40:8.) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not 
sin against thee. (Ps. 119:11.) And these words, which I command thee 
this day. shall be in thine heart. (Dt. 6:6.) Hearken unto me. ye that 
know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law: fear ye not 
the reproach of men. neither be ye afraid of their revilings. (Is. 51:7 > 
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel - 
After those days, saith the Lord. I will put my law in their inward 
parts, and write it in their hearts: and will be their God, and they shall 
be my people. (Jer. 31:33.) 

dd. For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him 
from those that condemn his soul. (Ps. 109:31.) The Lord redeemeth 
the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be

X PSALM 38. 
David moveth God to take compassion of his 

pitiful case. 
A Psalm of Da'vid, to bring to -remembrance. 

1 3 Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath : 
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and 
thy hand presseth me sore. 

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because 
of thine "anger; neither is there any rest in 
my bones because of my sin. 

4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine 
head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy 
for me. 

5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because 
of my foolishness. 

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; 
I go mourning all the day long. 

7 For my 4 loins are filled with a loathsome 
disease: and there is no soundness in my 
flesh. 

8 I am feeble and sore broken : I have 
roared by reason of the disquietness of my 
heart. 

9 "Lord, all my desire is before thee; and 
my groaning is not hid from thee. 

10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth 
me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is 
gone from me. 

11 My lovers and my 6 friends stand aloof 
from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 

12 They also that seek after my life lay 
snares for me: and they that seek my hurt

1. This Ps. was written near the

vanity of things earthly, and the un- 
satisfying nature of worldly pros- 
perity.

speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits 
all the day long. 

13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and 
I was as a dumb man that openeth not his 
mouth. 

14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, 
and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 

15 For in thee, 'Lord, c do I hope: thou 
wilt hear, O :: Lord my God. 

16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they 
should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, 
they magnify themselves against me. 

17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow 
is continually before me. 

18 For I will ^declare mine iniquity; I will 
be sorry e for my sin. 

19 But mine enemies are "lively, and they 
are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully 
are multiplied. 

20 They also that render evil for good are 
mine adversaries; ''because I follow the thing 
that good is. 

21 Forsake ?me not, O "Lord: O my God, be 
not far from me. 

22 Make haste to help me, O 3 Lord ''my 
salvation. 

TSALM 39. 
1 David's care of his thoughts. 7 The rev- 
erence of God's judgments, 10 and prayer, 
are his bridles of impatiency. 
To the chief Musician, even to 2 Jed'u-thun, 
A Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 I said, I will "take heed to my ways, that 
h l sin not with my tongue: I will keep my 
mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is be- 
fore me. • 

2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, 
even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. 

3 My heart was hot within me; while I was 
musing c the fire burned: then spake I with 
my tongue, 

4 3 Lord, make me to d know mine end, and 
the measure of my days, what it is; that I 
may know how frail I am. 

5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an 



uprightness. (Is. 57:2.) Then we which are alive and remain shall be 
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the 
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (I Thes. 4:17.) 

ff. And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were de- 
livered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to 
God in the battle, and he was entreated of them; because they put their 
trust in him. (I Chr. 5:20.) If it be so, our God whom we serve is able 
to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out 
of thine hand, O king. (Dan. 3:17.) Then was the king exceeding glad 
for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the 
den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was 
found upon him, because he believed in his God. (Dan. 6:23.) Our 
fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. (Ps. 
22:4.) 

Psalm 38. 

a. And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was 
turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice. 
(I Ks. 11:9.) Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold I cannot speak: for I 
am a child. (Jer. 1:6.) 

b. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and 
when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. (Luke 10:31.) I was 
a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbors, 
and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from 
me. (Ps. 31:11.) My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have 
forgotten me. (Job 19:14.) 

c. O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why 
shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that 
turneth aside to tarry for a night? (Jer. 14:8.) All that found them 
have devoured them: and their adversaries said. We offend not, be- 
cause they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even 
the Lord, the hope of their fathers. (Jer. 50:7.) 

d. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not 
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord: and thou 
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Ps. 32:5.) He that covereth 
his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them 
shall have mercy. (Prov. 28:13.) 

e. Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed 
to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye 
might receive damage by us in nothing (9). For godly sorrow worketh 
repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the 
world worketh death. . (II Cor. 7:9, 10.) 

f. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that 
which is good? (I Pet. 3:13.) If I have told you earthly things, and ye 
believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? (Jno. 
3:12.) 

g. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou 
so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? (1) Be not 
far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help (11). But be 



not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 
(Ps. 22:1, 11, 19.) This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, 
be .not far from me. (Ps. 35:22.) 

h. The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my sal- 
vation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's 
God, and I will exalt him. (Ex. 15:2.) Behold, God is my salvation; 
I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength 
and my song; he also is become my salvation. (Is. 12:2.) 

Psalm 39. 

a. That the Lord may continue his word which he spake concern- 
ing me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before 
me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not 
fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. (I Ks. 2:4.) Where- 
withal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto ac- 
cording to thy word. (Ps. 119:9.) But Jehu took no heed to walk in the 
law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not 
from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin. (II Ks. 10:31.) 

b. Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from speaking guile. 
(Ps. 34:13.) But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish 
women speaketh. What! shall we receive good at the hand of God, and 
shall ye not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his \jps. 
(Job 2:10.) Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great 
things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! (5). And the 
tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our mem- 
bers, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of 
nature; and it is set on fire of hell (6). For every kind of beasts, and of 
birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been 
tamed of mankind (7). But the tongue can no man tame; it is an un- 
ruly evil, full of deadly poison (8). Therewith bless we God, even the 
Father; and 1 herewith curse we men, which are made after the sim- 
ilitude of God (9). Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and 
cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be (10). Doth a 
fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? (11) Can 
the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can 
no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. (Ja. 3:5-12.) 

c. Then I said. I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more 
in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up 
in- my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. 
(Jer. 20:9.) For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my mois- 
ture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. (Ps. 32:4.) And 
they said one to another. Did not our heart burn within us, while he 
talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 
(Luke 24:32.) 

d. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts 
unto wisdom. (Ps. 90:12.) How many are the days of thy servant? 
when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? (Ps. 
119:84.) What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, 
that I should prolong my life? (Job 6:11.)

is altogether vanity. 4 Se'lah. 

6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: 
surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth 
up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather 

- them. 

7 And now, : Lord, what wait I for? my hope 
fis in thee. 

8 Deliver ^me from all my transgressions: 
make me not the reproach of the foolish. 

9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; be- 
cause thou didst it. 

10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am 
consumed by the blow of thine hand.

1 The benefit of confidence in God. 6 Obedi- 
ence is the best sacrifice. 11 The sense of 
David's evils inflameth his prayer. 
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 

1 I waited patiently for the "Lord; and he 
inclined unto me, and heard a my cry. 

2 He brought me up also out of an horrible 
pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon 
a rock, and established my goings. 

3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, 
even praise unto our God: many shall see it, 
and b fear, and shall trust c in the 2 Lord. 

4 Blessed is c that man that maketh the

Psalm 40. 



1. This Ps. was "written late in 
David's life, about the close of the 
time when his many enemies had 
taken advantage of his sickness to 
menace the peace of his kingdom. 
Its subject is confidence in God. its 
purpose, to show that the best sacri- 
fice which can be offered to Jehovah 
is service. 



2. Jehovah, the covenant-name of 



The law of Moses. 



-1. Beginning with v. 11 the tone 
of thanksgiving changes to a prayer 
and confession of sin. 



: Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, 
nor such as turn aside to lies. 

•5 Many, O "Lord my God, are thy wonder- 
ful works which thou hast done, and thy 
thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot 
be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would 
declare and speak of them, they are more than 
can be numbered. 

6 Sacrifice and ^offering thou didst not de- 
i sire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offer- 
! ing and sin offering hast thou not required. 

7 Then said 1, Lo, I come: in the volume of 
the 3 book it is e written of me, 

8 fl delight to do thy will, my God: yea, 
thy law is ^within my heart. 

9 I have preached righteousness in the great 
congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, 
"Lord, 7i thou know r est. 

10 '"I have not hid thy righteousness within 
my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and 
thy salvation : I have not concealed thy loving- 
kindness and thy truth from the great con- 
gregation. 

11 4 Withhold 'not thou thy tender mercies 
from me, O 2 Lord: ?: let thy lovingkindness and 
thy truth continually preserve me. 

12 For innumerable evils have compassed 
me about: mine iniquities have taken hold 
upon me, so that I am not able to look up; 
they are more than the hairs of mine head: 
therefore my heart faileth me. 

13 Be pleased, 2 Lord, to deliver me: 
"Lord, make haste to help me. 

14 Let them be ashamed and "'confounded 
together that seek after my soul to destroy 
it; let them be driven backward and put to 
shame that wish me evil. 

15 Let them be desolate for a reward of 
their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. 

16 Let all those that seek "thee rejoice "and 



e. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday ■when, it 
is past, and as a watch in the night. (Ps. 90:4.) Remember how short 
my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? (Ps. S9:47.) 

f. For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear. O Lord mv God. 
(Ps. 3S:15.) 

g. Deliver my soul from the sword: my darling from the power of 
the dog. (Ps. 22:20.) Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, east him down: 
deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword. (Ps. 17:13.) De- 
liver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear 
unto me, and save me. (Ps. 71:2.) Bow down thine ear to me; deliver 
me speedilv: be thou my strong rock for an house of defence to save 
me. (Ps. 31:2.) 

h. So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an 
astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall 
execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. 
I the Lord have spoken it. (Ezek. 5:15.) But was rebuked for his 
iniquitv: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbade the madness 
of the prophet. (II Pet. 2:16.) 

i. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee. (Ps. 
102:1.) Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy 
faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. (Ps. 143:1.) The Lord 
is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him 
in truth. (Ps. 145:1S.) Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto 
God in the heavens. (Lam. 3:41.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, 
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) 

j. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but 
having seen them afar off, and were pursuaded of them, and embraced 
them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 
(Heb. 11:13.) I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments 
fro* me. (Ps. 119:19.) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and 
pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. (I Pet. 
2:11.) 

Psalm 40. 

a. We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our 
God and have also served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) We have sinned be- 
cause we have forsaken the Lord and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth. 
(I Sam. 12:10.) The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his 
ears are open unto their cry. (Ps. 34:15.) 

b. Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may 
be before your faces, that ye sin not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord 
is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that 
do his commandments. (Ps. 111:10.) Fear God, and keep his command- 
ments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) That all the 
people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: 
that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever. (Josh. 4:24.) The fear 
of the Lord is to hate evil. (Prov. 8:13.) And by the fear of the Lord 
men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

c. See 1, Ps. 32. 

d. For I desired mercy and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God 
more than burnt offerings. (Hos. 6:6.) But go ye and learn what that 
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to 
call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mat. 9:13.) Sacrifice and 
offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me (5) : In 
burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. (Heb. 
10:5, 6.) 

e. These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet 
with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law 
of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me. (Luke 



24:44.) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal 
life: and they are they which testify of me. (Jno. 5:39.) 

i. My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his 
work. (Jno. 4:34.) For I delight in the law of God after the inward 
man. (Rom. 7:22.) 

g. The law of his God is in his heart: none of his steps shall slide. 
(Ps. 3.:31.) Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle 
of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of 
the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshv tables of the heart. 
(II Cor. 3:3.) 

h. Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising, thou under- 
standest my thought afar off (2). For there is not the word in my tongue 
but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. (Ps. 139:2, 4.) The Lord 
God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall 
know. (Josh. 22:22.) 

i. And how I kept hack nothing that was profitable unto you, but 
have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house 
(20). For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of 
God. (Acts 20:20, 27.) 

j. See i, Ps. 33. 

k. O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them 
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. (Ps. 43:3.) He 
shall send from heaven and save me from the reproach of him that 
would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his 
truth. (Ps. 57:3.) O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 
(Ps. 61:7.) Mercy and truth preserve the king. (Prov. 20:28.) 

I. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of 
the dog. (Ps. 22:20.) Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: 
deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword. (Ps. 17:13.) De- 
liver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine 
ear unto me, and save me. (Ps. 71:2.) Bow down thine ear to me; de- 
liver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to 
save me. (Ps. 31:2.) 

m. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my 
soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my 
hurt (4). let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that 
rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that 
magnify themselves against me. (Ps. 35:4, 26.) Let them be ashamed and 
confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and 
put to confusion that desire my hurt. (Ps. 70:2.) Let them be con- 
founded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be 
covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt. (Ps. 71:13.) 

n. Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy 
name will put their trust in thee: for thou. Lord, hast not forsaken 
them that seek the_e. (Ps. 9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and 
said unto him. Hear ye me. Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The 
Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seek him. he will 
be found of you: but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 
15:2.) I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all 
my fears. (Ps. 34:4.) 

o. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, 
all ye that are upright in heart. (Ps. 32:11.) Finally, my brethren, 
rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you. to me indeed is 
rot grievous, but for you, it is safe. (Phil. 3:1.) Rejoice in the Lord 
alway: and again I say, Rejoice. (Phil. 4:4.) Rejoice in the Lord. O 
ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright (1). For the word 
of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. (Ps. 33:1, 4.)

TSALM 41. 
1 God's care of the poor. 4 David complain- 

eth of his enemies' treachery: 10 He fleeth

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 Blessed a is he that considereth the poor: 
the "Lord will deliver him in & time of trouble. 

2 The 'Lord will preserve him, and keep 
him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the 
earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the 
will of his enemies. 

3 The 'Lord will ^strengthen him upon the 
bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed 
in his sickness. 

4 I said, 2 Lord, be merciful ''unto me: heal 
my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 

5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When 
shall he die, and his name perish? 

6 And if he come to see me, he e speaketh 
"vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; 
when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 

7 All that hate me whisper together against 
me: against me do they devise my hurt.

unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise 
up no more.

I trusted, f which did eat of my bread, hath 
lifted up his *heel against me.

chief difference between the first and 
second divisions is the name or title 
of God. The first division is called 
Jehovistic. i. e., the name of Jeho- 
vah predominates; it occurs 272 times, 
and the name Elohim. meaning God, 
occurs only 15 times. The second 
division is called Elovistic. as the 
name God occurs 164 times and Jeho- 
vah only 30 times. This Ps. was 
written on the occasion of David's 
flight from Absalom, and expresses 
the aifthor's great longing and thirst 
for God.

brooks, so panteth "my soul after thee, God. 

2 My 6 soul thirsteth for God, for c the living

ure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. (Mk. 
10:21.) Bat to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such 
sacrifices God is well pleased. (Heb. 13:16.) Defend the poor and father- 
less: do justice to the afflicted and needy (3). Deliver the poor and 
needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. (Ps. 82:3, 4.) 

b. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in 
the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a 
rock. (Ps. 27:5.) They shall not he ashamed in the evil time: and in 
the days of famine they shall be satisfied. (Ps. 37:19.) 

c. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his 
anointed. (Ps. 28:8.) Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily 
for me; for thou art my strength. (Ps. 31:4.) The Lord is my rock, and 
my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will 
trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 
(Ps. 18:2.) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 
27:1.) But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; he is their 
strength in the time of trouble. (Ps. 37:39.) 

d. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am "freak; O Lord, heal me; 
for my bones are vexed. (Ps. 6:2.) And the Lord passed by before him, 
and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long- 
suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) With the 
merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou 
wilt show thyself upright. (Ps. 18:25.) Go and proclaim these words 
toward the north, and say. Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the 
Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merci- 
ful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be 
ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) 
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his 
eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast saying, God be merciful to 
me a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) 

e. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering 
lips and with a double heart do they speak. (Ps. 12:2.) They only con- 
sult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies; they 
bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. (Ps. 62:4.) He 
that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; 
(24) When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abom- 
inations in his heart. (Prov. 26:24, 25.) 

f. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the 
scripture may be fulfilled, He that eafeth bread with me hath lifted up 
his heel against me. (Jno. 13:18.) For it was not an enemy that re- 
proached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated 
me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself 
from him (12) : But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine 
acquaintance (13). He hath put forth his hands against such as be at 
peace with him: ho hath broken his covenant. (Ps. 55:12, 13, 20.) My 
kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me (14). 
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned 
against me. (Job 19:14, 19.) For I heard the defaming of many, tear 
on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my fa- 
miliars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, 



and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. 
(Jer. 20:10.) 

g. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he de- 
lighteth in his way. (Ps. 37:23.) The Lord taketh pleasure in them 
that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. (Ps. 147:11.) 

h. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth 
wondrous things (18). And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and 
let the whole earth be filled with his glory: Amen, and Amen. (Ps. 
72:1S, 19.) Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Ps. 
89:52.) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlast- 
ing: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord. (Ps. 106:48.) 
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. 
(Ps. 150:6.) 

Psalm 42. 

a. I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy command- 
ments. (Ps. 119:131.) 

b. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, 
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (Jno. 7:37.) 
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for 
thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no 
water is. (Ps. 63:1.) My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts 
of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. (Ps. 
84:2.) I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, 
as a thirsty land. Selah. (Ps. 143:6.) 

c. For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we 
had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living 
and true God. (I Thes. 1:9.) My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the 
courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 
(Ps. 84:2.) And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God 
is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you 
the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and 
the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. (Josh. 3:10.) But 
the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting King: 
at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able 
to abide his indignation. (Jer. 10:10.) I make a decree, That in every 
dominion of my kingdom men tremble, and fear before the God of Daniel; 
for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that 
which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the 
end. (Dan. 6:26.) But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest an- 
swered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou 
tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. (Mat. 26:63.) And it 
shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye 
are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living 
God. (Rom. 9:26.) 

d. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 
(Ps. 115:2.) Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between 
the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and 
give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over 
them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? 
(Joel 2:17.) 

e. Trust in him at all times: ye people, pour out your heart before 
him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. (Ps. 62:8.) And Hannah answered 
and said, No, my lord, 1 am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have 
drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul be- 
fore the Lord. (I Sam. 1:15.) And now my soul is poured out upon me; 
the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. (Job 30:16.) Arise, cry 
out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart 
like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him 
for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of 
every street. (Lam. 2:19.) 

f. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in 
him. (Lam. 3:24.) But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee 
more and more. (Ps. 71:14.)

To the = chief Musician for the sons of Ko'rah, 
Mas'chil. 

1 We have heard with our ears, God, our 
fathers have told us, what work thou didst 
in their days, in the times of old. 

2 How thou didst drive 3 out the heathen 
with tlry hand, and plantedst them; how thou 
didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 

3 For they got not the land in possession 
by their own sword, neither did their own arm 
save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, 
and the light of thy countenance, because thou 
hadst a favour unto them. 

4 Thou art my King, God: command de- 
liverances for Ja'cob. 

5 Through thee °will we push down our 
enemies: through thy name will we tread 
tn em under that rise up against us. 

6 For & I will not trust in my bow, neither 
shall my sword save me. 

7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, 
and hast put them to shame that hated us. 

8 In c God we boast all the day long, and 
praise thy name for ever. ""Selah. 

9 "But thou hast cast off, and d put us to 
shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 

10 Thou makest us to f tum back from the 
enemy: and they which hate us spoil for them- 
selves. 

11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed 
for meat; and hast f scattered us among the 
heathen. 

12 Thou sellest ^thy people for nought, and 
dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 

13 Thou makest us a ''reproach to our neigh- 
bours, a scorn and a 'derision to them that are 
round about us. 

14 Thou makest us a -'byword among the 
heathen, a shaking of the head among the 
people. 

15 My confusion is continually before me, 
and the shame of my face hath covered me, 



g. Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon 
rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall 
perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. (Ezek. 7:26.) 

h. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul (1). 
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep 
waters, where the floods overflow me. (Ps. 69:1, 2.) Thy wrath lieth 
hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even 
life for evermore. (Ps. 133:3.)

in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his 
countenance (5). Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou 
disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who 
is the health of my countenance, and my God. (Ps. 42:5, H.)

a. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread 
down our enemies. (Ps. 60:12.) His glory is like the firstling of his

srb (Dt. 33:17.) I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and

God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by 
horses, nor by horsemen. (Hos. 1:7.) " And all this assembly shall know

thereof, and be glad. (Ps. 34:2.) But let him that glorieth glory in this,

heen wroth with thine anointed. (Ps. 89:3S.)

Israel turneth their backs before their enemies' (S) Therefore the chil- 
dren of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs

vou any more, except ve destroy the accursed front among you. (Josh.

price, and* that for all thy sins, even in all thy "borders. (Jer. 15:13.) 
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, 
except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? (Dt. 
32:30.) And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he de- 
livered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold 
them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could 
not any longer stand before their enemies. (Jud. 2:14.)

to them that are round about us. (Ps. 79:4.) All that pass by the way 
spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbors. (Ps. $9:41.)

laugh among themselves. (Ps. 80:6.) Thus saith the Lord God: Thou 
shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to 
scorn and had in derision: it containeth much. (Ezek. 23:32.)

was as a tabret. (Job 17:6.) And I will deliver them to be removed

17 All 'this is come upon us; yet have 'we 
not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt false- 
ly in thy covenant. 

18 Our heart is not turned back, neither 
have our steps declined from thy way; 

19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the 
place of dragons, and covered us with the 
shadow of death. 

20 If we have 'forgotten the name of our

21 Shall not '"God search this out? for he

k. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon 
us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might 
turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. (Dan. 9:13.) 

1. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works 
of God, but keep his commandments. (Ps. 7S:7.) The bands of the 
wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law (61). For I 
am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes 
(83). My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy 
law (109). I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts 
(141). Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy 
law (153). I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I 
do not forget thy commandments. (Ps. 119: 61, 83, 109, 141, 153, 176.) 

m. What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, 
what shall I answer him? (Job 31:14.) O Lord, thou hast searched me,

thou understandest my thought afar off. (Ps. 139:1, 2.) I the Lord 
search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to 
his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 17:10.) And 
thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him 
with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all 
hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou 
seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast 
thee off for ever. (I Chr. 2S:9.)

a. Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. (Ps. 120:4.) 
Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs 
shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind. (Is. 5:28.) 
And he said. Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you 
to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? (Is. 7:13.) 

b. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. (Ps. 
93:2.) But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and 
ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom (8). Thou 
hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy 
God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 
(Heb. 1:8, 9.) 

c. Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth. With 
righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. 
(Ps. 98:9.) Judge not-according to the appearance, but judge righteous 
judgment. (Jno. 7:24.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his 
ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right 
is he. (Dt. 32:4.) Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according 
to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight (25). 
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright 
man thou wilt show thyself upright (26). With the pure, thou wilt show 
thyself pure: and with the froward thou wilt show thyself unsavory. 
(II Sam. 22:25-27.) Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou 



rei d irest to every man according to his work. (Ps. 62:12.) Thy right- 
eousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, 
who is like unto thee! (Ps. 71:19.) The Lord is righteous in all his 
ways, and holy in all his works. (Ps. 145:17.) Justice and judgment are 
the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 
(Ps. 89:14.) 

d. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the 
goodness of the Lord. (Ps. 33:5.) For such an high priest became us, 
who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made 
higher than the heavens. (Heb. 7:26.) For the righteous Lord loveth 
righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. (Ps. 11:7.) He 
loveth righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the goodness of 
the Lord. (Ps. 33:5.) 

e. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me 
to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and 
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) Jesus 
saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father; 
but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, 
and your Father; and to my God, and your God. (Jno. 20:17.) 

f. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him; for the mar- 
riage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready (7). 
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean 
and white: for the fine linen. is the righteousness of saints (8). And he 
saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the mar- 
riage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true 
sayings of God. (Rev. 19:7-9.) 

g. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy na- 
tion, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him 
who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (I Pet. 
2:9.) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father: 
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Rev. 1:6.) 

h. For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the 
same my name shall be great among the Gentiles: and in every place 
incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering; for my 
name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 
1:11.) 

Psalm 46. 

a. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his 
anointed. (Ps. 28:8.) For thou art my strength. (Ps. 31:4.) The Lord is 
my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, and my strength, in 
whom I will trust. (Ps. 18:2.) The Lord is the strength of my life; of 
whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) He is their strength in the time 
of trouble. (Ps. 37:39.) 

b. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that 
call upon him in truth. (Ps. 145 :1S.) If a man love me he will keep

of his holiness. 

2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the 
? whole earth, is mount Zi'6n, on the sides of 
the north, the city of the great King. 

3 God ^is known in her palaces for a refuge. 

4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they 
passed by together. 

5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they 
were troubled, and hasted away. 

6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, 
as of a woman in travail. 

7 Thou breakest the 4 ships of Tar'shish with 
an east wind. 

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the 
city of the 2 Lord of hosts, in the city of our 
God: God will c establish it for ever. c Se'lah. 

9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, 
God, iri the midst of thy temple.

thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy 
right hand is full of righteousness. 

11 Let mount Zi'6n rejoice, let the daugh- 
ters of Ju'dah be glad, because of thy judg- 
ments.

her: tell the towers thereof.

1 Hear "this, all ye people; give ear, all ye 
inhabitants of the world: 

2 Both low and high, rich and poor, to- 
gether. 

3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and 
the meditation 6 of my heart shall be of under- 
standing. 

4 I will incline mine ear to a 2 parable: I 
will open my dark 3 saying upon the harp. 

5 Wherefore should I 'fear in the days of 
evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall com- 
pass me about? 

6 They that d trust in their wealth, and boast 
themselves in the multitude of their riches;

his brother, nor c give to God a ransom for 
him:

wise the fool and the brutish person perish, 
and leave their ^wealth to others.

houses shall continue for ever, and their dwell- 
ing places to all generations; they call their 
lands after their own names.

1 The mighty God, even the 3 Lord, hath 
spoken, and called the earth from the rising 
of the sun unto the going down thereof. 

2 Out of Zi'on, the "perfection of beauty, 
God hath shined. 

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep 
silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it 
shall be very tempestuous round about him. 

4 He ^shall call to the heavens from above, 
and to the earth, that he may judge his peo- 
ple. 

5 Gather c my saints together unto me; 
those that have made a covenant a with me by 
sacrifice. 

6 And the heavens c shall declare his right- 
eousness: for God is f judge himself. Se'lah. 

7 Hear, my people, and I will speak; 
Is'ra-el, and I will 'testify against thee: I am 
God, even thy God.

or thy burnt offerings, to have been continu- 
ally before me. 

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, 
nor he goats out of thy folds.

shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be 
afraid? (Ps. 27:1.)

art my confidence (24). This also were an iniquity to be punished by

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the 
abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

dren, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the king- 
dom of God! (Mk. 10:24.)

and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his 
soul? (Mat. 16:26.) Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee 
away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee (18).

stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. (Job 36:18.)

quieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather 
them. (Ps. 39:6.) But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul 
shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou 
hast provided? (Luke 12:20.)

smallest matters? (I Cor. 6:2.) And he that overcometh and keepeth 
my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations. 
(Rev. 2:26.)

them from death: O death. I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy 
destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Hos. 13:14.) 
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from heneeforth: 
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their

in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Ps. 
16:10.) For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt thou not de-

joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. (Ps. 16:11.) Thou

took him. (Gen. 5:24.) 

Psalm 50. 

a. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, 
on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. (Ps. 48:2.) They 
hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this 
the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole 
earth? (Lam. 2:15.) 

b. Hear, ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong 
foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his 
people, and he will plead with Israel. (Mic. 6:2.) I call heaven and 
earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish 
from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall 
not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. (Dt. 4:26.) 
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I 
have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against 
me. (Is. 1:2.) 

c. I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my 
mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. 
(Is. 13:3.) Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at 
the remembrance of his holiness. (Ps. 30:4.) For the Lord loveth judg- 
ment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the 
seed of the wicked shall be cut off. (Ps. 37:28.)

his covenant and his testimonies. (Ps. 25:10.) And he took the book of 
the covenant, and read in the audience of the people, and they said, All 
that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. (Ex. 24:7.) And in 
it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, that he made 
with the children of Israel. (II Chr. 6:11.) 

e. And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord; thy faithful- 
ness also in the congregation of the saints. (Ps. 89:5.) The heavens de- 
clare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. (Ps. 97:6.) 

f. See c, Ps. 45. 

g. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou 
opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. (Ps. 
40:6.) For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; thou de- 
lightest not in burnt offering. (Ps. 51:16.) To what purpose is the mul- 
titude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord; I am full of the burnt 
offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the 
blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats. (Is. 1:11.) 

h. Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten 
thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my first-born for my transgres- 
sion, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? (Mic. 6:7.) Neither is 
worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he 
giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. (Acts 17:25.)

blood of goats? 

14 'Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay 
thy vows unto the most High:

I will '^deliver thee, and thou shalt 'glorify me.

19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy

deed thou hast given great occasion 
to the enemies of the Lord to blas- 
pheme, the child a'.so that is born 
unto thee, shall surely die." 

3. The plural is used, illustrating

many." David had committed adul- 
tery, which caused him to bring about 
the death of Uriah, used deceit to 
cover his sin. dishonor his family, 
weaken his kingdom, break the sev- 
enth commandment. 

4. Lit., his sin against humanity 
was a sin against God. 

5. Born with a sinful nature.

transgressions. 

2 Wash c me thoroughly from mine iniquity, 
and cleanse fi me from my sin. 

3 For 1 acknowledge my transgressions:

and done this evil ^in thy sight: '"'that thou 
mightest be justified when thou speakest, and 
be clear when thou judgest. 

5 Behold, 'T was r 'shapen in iniquity; and in 
sin did my mother conceive me. 

6 Behold, thou desirest truth -'in the in- 
ward parts: and in the hidden 6 part thou shalt 
make me /c to know wisdom.

thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. (Ps. 107:22.) I will 
offer to thee sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of

honor him. (Ps. 91:15.) Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, 
and he delivered them out of their distresses (6). Then they cried unto 
the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

2:21, 22.) How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.

r. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, 
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

cross. (Col. 2:14.) I, even I, am lie that blotteth out thy transgressions 
for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Is. 43:25.) I have 
blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and as a cloud thy 

return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. (Is. 44:22.) Repent ye 
therefore, ancl b< <i. that yon:' sins ma; be blotted out, when the 



times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. (Acts 
3:19.) See vs. 9, 10. 

c. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eter- 
nal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience 
from dead works to serve the living God. (Heb. 9:14.) But if we walk 
in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, 
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (I .Jno. 
1:7.) Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own 
Mood. (Rev. 1:5.) Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your 
doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil. (Is. 1:16.) When the 
Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall

the Lord. (Acts 22:16.) 

d. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they 
have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby 
they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. - 
(Jer. 33:8.) In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your in- 
iquities, I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes 
shall be builded. (Ezek. 36:33.) How much more shall the blood of 
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to 
God, purge your, conscience from dead works to serve the living God! 
(Heb. 9:14.) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have 
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son 
cleanseth us from all sin (7). If we say that we have no sin, we deceive 
ourselves, and the truth is not in us (8). If we confess our sins he is 
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all un- 
righteousness. (I Jno. 1:7-9.) 

e. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not 
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou 
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Ps. 32:5.) For our transgres- 
sions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for 
our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them. 
(Is. 59:12.) 

f. Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned 
against thee. (Ps. 41:4.) Yea, I know that thou didst this in the in- 
tegrity of thy heart: for I also withheld thee from sinning against me. 
(Gen. 20:6.) There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath 
he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how 
then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? (Gen. 39:9.) 
I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David. The Lord 
hath also put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. (II Sam. 12:13.) 

g. Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and in thy sight, and am 
no more worthy to be called thy son. (Luke 15:21.) 

h. God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is 
written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest 
overcome when thou a-rt judged. (Rom. 3:4.) 

i. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. (Job 
14:4.) The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon 
as they be born, speaking lies. (Ps. 58:3.) Yea, thou castest off fear, 
and restrainest prayer before God. (Job 15:4.) Among whom also we 
all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfill- 
ing the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the 
children of wrath, even as others. (Eph. 2:3.) 

j. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and 
speaketh the truth in his heart. (Ps. 15:2.) Who hath put wisdom in 
the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? (Job 
38:36.) 

k. For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his- mouth cometh knowledge 
and understanding. (Prov. 2:6.) For God giveth to a man that is good in 
his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy. (Ecc. 2:26.) If any of you lack 
wisdom let him ask of God, vthat giveth to all man liberally, and up- 
braideth not; and it shall be given him. (Js. 1:5.) 

1. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that 
is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the 
blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of 
his house until the morning. (Ex. 12:22.) For when Moses had spoken 
every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood 
of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and 
sprinkled both the book and all the people. (Heb. 9:19.)

they have not called upon God.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the 
words of my mouth.

with them that uphold my soul.

m. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing

their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words. (Ps. 64:3.) 



b. Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any 
brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will

lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. (Jer. 9:4, 5.) The wicked 
are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they be born,

saken them that seek thee.' (Ps. 9:10.) The Lord is with you while ye 
be with him; and if ye seek him he will be found of you; but if ye 
forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I sought the Lord and

but they have sought out many inventions. (Ecc. 7:29.) 

e. For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are 
sottish children, and they have some understanding: they are wise to do 
evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. (Jer. 4:22.)

8 I would hasten my escape from the windy 
storm and tempest. 

9 Destroy, 5 Lord, and divide their 
tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in 
the city. 

10 Day and night they go about it upon the 
walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are 
in the midst of it. • 

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: de- 
ceit and guile depart not from her streets. 

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached 
me; then I could have borne it: neither was 
it he that hated me that did magnify himself 
against me; then I would have hid myself from 
him : 

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my 
1 guide, and mine acquaintance. 



Psalm 55. 



1. This Ps. was written on the 
occasion of Absalom's rebellion (II 
Sam. 15) at the moment when 
David's kingdom was amidst a whirl 
of revolution. Its subject is destruc- 
tion of the treacherous. 



2. Wander about. 



3. Dwell. 



4. Pause, rest, silence. 



5. Allusion to Gen. 11:7, "Go to. 
let us go down and there confound 
their language, that they may not un- 
derstand one another's speech." 



Psalm 56. 



1. This Ps. was written on the oc- 
casion of David's flight from Saul; he 
had taken refuge at the court of 
Achish. (I Sam. 21:10)— "And David 
arose and fled that day. for fear of 
Saul, and went to Achish. the king 
of Gath." This Ps. should be com- 
pared with Ps. 34 and 142. 



2. The original "Maroon" here 
translated as a title of deity is given 
that meaning nowhere else in the 
scripture. Elsewhere it means high 
place, as in Is. 22:16. The meaning 
is that David's enemies are of the 
nobles, those high places. 



14 We took sweet counsel together, and 
ivalked unto the house of God in company. 

15 Let death seize upon them, and let them 
"go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in 
their dwellings, and among them. 

16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the 
5 Lord shall save me. 

17 Evening, ''and morning, and at noon, will 
I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my 
voice. 

18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from 
the battle that was against me: for Hhere 
were many with me. 

19 God shall hear, and afflict them, ->even he 
that abideth of old. Se'lah. Because they 
have no changes, therefore they ^'fear not God. 

20 He hath put forth his hands against such 
as be at peace with him: he hath broken his 
covenant. 

21 The words 'of his mouth were smoother 
than butter, but war was in his heart: his 
words were 'softer than oil, yet were they 
drawn swords. 

22 Cast thy '"burden upon the 5 Lord, and he 
shall sustain thee: "he shall never suffer the 
righteous to be moved. 

23 But thou, God, shalt bring them down 
into the pit of "destruction: bloody and de- 
ceitful men shall not live out half their days; 
but I will Ptrust in thee. 

TSALM 56. 
David complaineth of his enemies. 
To the chief Musician upon Jd'nath-e'lem-re- 
ch5'kim, Mich'tam of Da'vid, when the Phi- 
Hs'tine§ took him in Gath. 

1 Be "merciful unto me, God: for man 
would swallow 6 me up; he fighting daily op- 
presseth me. 

2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: 
for they be many that fight against me, 
thou most 2 High. 

3 What c time I am afraid, I will trust in 
thee. 



b. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, 
saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear 
what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:6.) If it be so, our God whom we 
serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will 
deliver us out of thine hand, king. (Dan. 3:17.) And lead us not 
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (Mat. 6:13.) Him, being de- 
livered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have 
taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. (Acts 2:23.) What 
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against 
us? (Rom. 8:31.) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel 
against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) Thou shalt compass me about with 
songs of deliverance. Selah. (Ps. 32:7.) 

Psalm 55. 

a. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. 
(Ps. 54:2.) Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many 
generations. (Ps. 61:6.) Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer, and attend 
to the voice of my supplications. (Ps. 86:6.) 

b. But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of 
my prayer. (Ps. 66:19.) Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer, and attend to 
the voice of my supplications (6). In the day of my trouble I will call 
upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. (Ps. 86:6, 7.) Hear my voice, O 
God, in my prayer. (Ps. 64:1.) 

c. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat 
hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Ps. 116:3.) I am feeble and 
sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 
(Ps. 38:8.) 

d. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly 
men made me afraid (4). The sorrows of hell compassed me about. 
the snares of death prevented me. (Ps. 18;4, 5.) The sorrows of death 
compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me. (Ps. 116:3.) 

e. Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on 
my flesh. (Job 21:6.) My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the 
night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. (Is. 21:4.) They 
shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; 
and shame shall be upon their faces, and baldness upon all their heads. 
(Ez. 7:18.) 

f. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep 
the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. (Mic. 7:5.) 
And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually 
with Absalom. (II Sam. 15:12.) 

g. But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her 
mouth, and swallow them up. with all that appertain unto them, and 
they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men 
have provoked the Lord. (Num. 16:30.) 

h. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went 
into his house; and his windows being' opened in his chamber toward 
Jerusalem, he kneeled down upon his knees three times a day, and 
prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Dan. 6:10.) 
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always 
to pray and not to faint. (Luke 18:1.) Now Peter and John went up 

'her into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 



) Let my prayer be 
up of my hands as 



(Acts. 3:1.) Pray without ceasing. (I Thess. 5:17 
set forth before thee as . incense, and the lifting 
the evening sacrifice. (Ps. 141:2.) 

i. Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the 
king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there 
be more with us than with him (7). With him is an arm of flesh; but 
with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. (II 
Chr. 32:7, 8.) Mine enemies would daily swallow me up; for they be 
many that fight against me, G thou Most High. (Ps. 56:2.) 

j. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting 
arms; and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall 
say, Destroy them. (Dt. 33:27.) Before the mountains were brought 
forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from 
everlasting to everlasting thou art God. (Ps. 90:2.) Thy throne is 
established of old: thou art from everlasting. (Ps. 93:2.) 

k. See b, Ps. 40. 

1. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering 
lips and with a double heart, do they speak. (Ps. 12:2.) Draw me. not 
away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak 
peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. (Ps. 28:3.) For 
the lips of a strange woman drop as an honey-comb, and her mouth is 
smoother than oil (3). But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a 
two-edged sword. (Prov. 5:3, 4.) 

m. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall 
bring it to pass. (Ps. 37:5.) Casting all your care upon him; for he 
careth for you. (I Pet. 5:7.) Take no thought for your life, what ye shall 
eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 
Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Mat. 6:25.) 

n. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he de- 
lighteth in his way (23). Though he fall he shall not be utterly cast 
down; for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. (Ps. 37:23, 24.) He 
that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the 
innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. (Ps. 15:5.) 
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in ever- 
lasting remembrance. (Ps. 112:6.) 

o. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them 
down into destruction. (Ps. 73:1S.) But thou hast in love to my soui 
delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins 
behind thy back. (Is. 3S:17.) They shall bring thee down to the pit, and 
thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 
(Ez. 28:8.)

b. He shall send from heaven and save me from the reproach 
of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his 
mercy and his truth. (Ps. 57:3.) Then they had swallowed us up quick, 
when their wrath was kindled against us. (Ps. 124:3.) 

c. And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and 
proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. (II Chr. 20:3.) In the Lord 
put I my trust. (Ps, 11:1.)

weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 

3 The wicked are ^estranged from the

Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he

righteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have pre- 
scribed. (Is. 10:1.) 

b. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother 
conceive me. (Ps. 51:5.) Yea, thou heardest not; yet, thou knewest not; 
yea, from that time that thine ear was not open; for I knew that thou 
wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from 
the womb. (Is. 48:8.) 

c. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders' poison 
is under their lips. (Ps. 140:3.) Surely the serpent will bite without en- 
chantment; and a babbler is no better. (Ecc. 10:11.) Their wine is the 
poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. (Dt. 32:33.) 

d. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his 
teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish. (Ps. 112:10.) 
And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither 
did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you. (Josh. 
2:11.) For they chased them from before the gates even unto Shebarim 
and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people 
melted and became as water. (Josh. 7:5.) Therefore shall all hands be

J PSALM 64. 

David prayeth for deliverance. 

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 Hear my voice, God, in °my grayer: 
preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 

2 Hide me 6 from the secret counsel of the 
wicked; from the insurrection of the workers 
of iniquity: 

3 Who whet their tongue c like a sword, and 
bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even 
bitter words: 

4 That they may shoot in secret d at the per- 
fect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear 
not. 

5 They encourage themselves in an evil mat- 
ter: they commune of laying snares privily; 
they say, Who shall see them? 

6 They search out iniquities; they accom- 
plish a diligent search: both the inward 
thought of every one of them, and the heart, is 
deep. 



d. Therefore I will look unto the Lord: I will wait for the God oi 
my salvation: my God will hear me (7). Rejoice not against me O mine 
enemy: when I fall, I shall arise: when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall 
be a light unto me (S). I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because 
I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judg- 
ment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his 
righteousness (9). Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame 
shall cover her which said unto me. Where is the Lord thy God? mine 
eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the 
streets. (Mic. 7:7-10.) 

e. See 1, Ps. 61. 

f. Xo, my lord; I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit, I have drunk 
neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the 
Lord. (I Sam. 1:15.) When I remember these things I pour out my 
soul in me. (Ps. 42:4.) Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out 
your heart before him. (Ps. 62:8.) 

g. Behold, thou hast made my ways as an hand breadth: and mine 
age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is 
altogether vanity. Selah. (Ps. 39:5.) All nations before him are as 
nothing: and thev are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity, 
lis. 40:17.) 

h. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is 
everlasting strength. (Is. 26:4.) 

i. Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life con- 
sisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (Luke 
12:15.) They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the 
multitude of their riches. (Ps. 49:6.) Lo, this is the man that made

d. For the Lord heareth the poor, and despi3eth not his prisoners. 
(Ps. 69:33.) To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that 
are appointed to death. (Ps. 102:20.) Such as sit in darkness and the 
shadow cf death, being bound in affliction and iron : He brought them 
out of darkness, and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in 
sunder. (Ps. 107:10, 14. i And. behold, the angel of the Lord came upen 
him, «and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, 
and raised him up. saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell from 
his hands. (Acts 12:7.) And suddenly there was a grsat earthquake, so 
that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the 
doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. (Acts 16:26.) 

e. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings light- 
ened the world: the earth trembled and shook. (Ps. 77:1S.) And mount 
Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it 
in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and 
the whole mount quaked greatly. (Ex. 19:18.) But the Lord is the true 
God, he is the living God. and an everlasting king: at his wrath the 
earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his in- 
dignation. (Jer. 10:10.)

them of the corn of heaven. (Ps. 78:24.) Then I will give you rain in 
due season, and the land shall vield her increase, and the trees of the 
field shall yield their fruit. (Lev. 26:4.) Who giveth rain upon the 
earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields. (Job 5:10.) 

g. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it 
with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn.

11 The Lord gave the word: great was the 
company of those that published it. 

12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she 
that tarried at home divided the spoil. 

13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet 
shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered 
with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. 

14 When the Almighty scattered kings in

an high hill as the hill of Ba'shan. 

16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the 
hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the 
4 Lord will dwell in it for ever. 

17 The chariots 7, of God are twenty thou- 
sand, even "thousands of angels: the 4 Lord is 
among them, as in Si'nai, in the holy place. 

18 Thou 'hast ascended on high, thou hast 
led captivity 'captive: thou hast received gifts 
for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the 
'Lord God might dwell among them.

TSALM 69. 

David complaineth of his affliction. 

To the chief Musician upon Sho-shan'nim, A 

Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 Save me, God; for "the 2 waters are come 
in unto my soul. 

2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no 
standing: I am come into deep waters, where 
the floods overflow me. 

3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is 
dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 

4 They that 6 hate me without a cause are 
more than the hairs of mine head: they that 
would destroy me, being mine enemies wrong- 
fully, are mighty: then I restored that which 

1 took not away. 

5 God, thou knowest my foolishness; and 
my sins are not hid from thee. 

6 Let not them that wait on thee, 3 Lord 
God of hosts, be c ashamed for my sake: let 
not those that seek thee be confounded for my 
sake, God of Is'ra-el. 

7 Because for thy sake I have borne re- 
proach; shame hath covered my face. 

8 I d am become a stranger unto my breth- 
ren, and an alien unto my mother's children. 

9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten- me 
up; and the reproaches of them that re- 
proached thee are fallen upon me. 

10 When I wept, and chastened my soul 
with fasting, that was to my reproach. 

11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and 
e I became a proverb to them. 

12 They that sit in the gate speak against 
me; and I was the song of the drunkards. 

13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O 
'Lord, fin an acceptable time: God, in the 



when thou hast so provided for it. (Ps. 65:9.) deliver not the soul of 
thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congre- 
gation of thy poor for ever. (Ps. 74:19.) Behold, he smote the rock, 
that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed: can he give 
bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? (Ps. 78:20.) For he sat- 
isfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. (Ps. 
107:9.) 

h. And he said. The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir 
unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten 
thousands of saints; from his right hand w 7 ent a fiery law for them. (Dt. 
33:2.) And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, 
that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and 
he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of 
fire round about Elisha. (II Ks. 6:17.) A fiery stream issued and came 
forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him. and 
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was 
set, and the books were opened. (Dan. 7:10.) 

i. And w : hen he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was 
taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9.) 
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity cap- 
tive, and gave gifts unto men. (Eph. 4:8.) 

j. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I 
kill, and I make alive: I wound, and I heal; neither is there any that can 
deliver out of my hand. (Dt. 32:39.) Who delivered-us from so gTeat a 
death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us. 
(II Cor. 1:10.) 

k. The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless 
his people with peace. (Ps. 29:11.) Thou art my King, O God: command 
deliverances for Jacob. (Ps. 44:4.) 

1. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my. suppliants, even the daugh- 
ter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. (Zeph. 3:10.) And he 
arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great 
authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of 
all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship (27), Was 
returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. (Acts 
8:27, 28.) 



m. And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up 
and down in his name, saith the Lord. (Zech. 10:12.) I am the vine, 
ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same 
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (Jno. 
15:5.) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal 
glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you per- 
fect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (I Pet. 5:10.) 

Psalm 69. 

a. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time 
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they 
shall not come nigh unto him. (Ps. 32:6.) Deep calleth unto deep at 
the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over 
me. (Ps. 42:7.) Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance 
of waters cover thee. (Job 22:11.) 

b. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is 
written in their law. They hated me without a cause. (Jno. 15:25.) Let 
not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let 
them wink with the eye, that hate me without a cause. (Ps. 35:19.) 

c. For the scripture saith. Whosoever believeth on him shall not be 
ashamed. (Rom. 10:11.) In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never 
be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. (Ps. 31:1.) O my God, 
I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph 
over me. (Ps. 25:2.) 

d. He is despised and rejected of men: a man of sorrows, and ac- 
quainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was 
despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:3.) He came unto his own, 
and his own received him not. (Jno. 1:11.) For neither did his breth- 
ren believe in him. (Jno. 7:5.) 

e. And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of 
the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a 
curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. (Jer. 24:9.) 

f. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while 
he is near. (Is. 55:6.) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time ac- 
cepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is 
the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (II Cor. 6:2.) 
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon

seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall he opened unto you (<). For 
every one that asketh reeeiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him 
that knocketh it shall be opened. (Mat. 7:7, 8.) 

g. See a, Ps. 67. 

h. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of 
/he dog. (Ps. 22:20.) Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited 
me in lie night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am pur- 
posed that my mouth shall not transgress. (Ps. 17:3.) Deliver me in thy 
righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and 
save me. (Ps. 71:2.) Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: 
be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. (Ps. 31:2.) 

i. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised 
of the people. (Ps. 22:6.) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher 
of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, 
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne 
of God. (Heb. 12:2.) I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there 
was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my 
soul (4). I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my 
portion in the land of the living. (Ps. 142:4, 5.) 

j. They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he 
had tasted thereof, he would not drink (34). And straightway one of them 
ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, 
and gave him to drink. (Mat. 27:34, 4S.) And they gave him to drink 
wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. (Mark 15:23.) After 
this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the 
scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst (28). Now there was set a ves- 
sel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it 
upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth (29). When Jesus therefore had 
received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and he bowed his head, and 
gave up the ghost. (Jno. 19:28-30.) 

k. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet 
we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Is. 53:4.) 

1. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I prav 
thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. (Ex. 32:32.) He that 
overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot 
out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before 
my Father, and before his angels. (Rev. 3:5.) 

m. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject 
unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven 
(Luke 10:20.) To the general assembly and church of the first-born, w-hich 
are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of 
just men made perfect. (Heb. 12:23.) 

n. Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find; knock, and 
it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy name 
will put their trust in thee- for thou. Lord, hast not forsaken them that 
seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, 
Ht-ar ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The- Lord is with you, 
while ye be with him; and if ye seek him. he will be found of you; but 



if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I sought the 
Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Ps. 34:4.) 

o. That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the coun- 
sel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; 
and to the cities of Judah, Te shall be built, and I will raise up the de- 
cayed places thereof. (Is. 44:26.) The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he 
gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. (Ps. 147:2.)

Psalm 70. 

a. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help 
me (13). Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after 
my soul to destroy it: let them be driven backward and put to shame 
that wish me evil (14). Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame 
that say unto me, Aha, aha (15). Let all those that seek thee rejoice 
and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The 
Lord be magnified (16). But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh 
upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer: make no tarrying, O my 
God. (Ps. 40:13-17.) 

b. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, 
saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my 
helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 
13:6.) If it be so. our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from 
the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O 
king. (Dan. 3:17.) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us 
from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for 
ever. Amen. (Mat. 6:13.) Him being delivered by the determinate coun- 
sel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have 
crucified and slain. (Acts 2:23.) Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt 
preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of 
deliverance. Selah. (Ps. 32:7.) What shall vre then say to these things? 
If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

c. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover 
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. (Ps. 109:29.) 

d. Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in 
the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no 
meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd 
in the stalls (17). Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God 
of my salvation. (Hab. 3:17, 18.) By w-hom also we have access by faith 
into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 
(Rom. 5:2.) Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same 
things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, hut for you it is safe. (Phil. 
3:1.) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him 
not, yet believing, ye rejoice with jov unspeakable and full of glory. (I 
Pet. 1:8.) 

Psalm 71.

21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and 
comfort me on every side. 

22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, 
even thy truth, my God: unto thee will I 
sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Is'- 
ra-el. 

23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing 
unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast re- 
deemed. 

24 My tongue also shall talk of thy right- 
eousness all the day long: for they are con- 
founded, for they are brought unto shame, that 
seek my hurt. 

TSALM 72. 
David, praying for Solomon, sheweth the good- 
ness and glory of his, in type of Christ's 
kingdom. 18 He blesseth God. 
A Psalm for Sol'o-mon. 

1 Give the king "thy judgments, God, and 
thy righteousness unto the king's son. 

2 He "shall judge thy people with righteous- 
ness, and thy poor with judgment. 

3 The mountains shall bring peace 6 io the 
people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 

4 He siiall judge the poor of the people, he 
shall save the children of the needy, and shall 
break in pieces the oppressor, 

5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun 
and moon endure, throughout all generations. 

6 He shall come down like rain upon the 
mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 

7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; 
and abundance of peace so long as the moon 
endureth. 

8 c He shall have dominion also from sea to 
sea, and from the river unto the ends of the 
earth. 

9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall 
bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the 
dust. 

10 The kings of Tdr'shish and of the isles 



not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Ps. 56:4.) In thee, Lord, do I 
put my trust: let me never be put to confusion (1). Deliver me in thy 
righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and 
save me (2). Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continual- 
ly resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my 
rock and my fortress. (Ps. 71:1-3.) I will say of the Lord, He is my 
refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) And 
again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the chil- 
dren which God hath given me. (Hcb. 2:13.) Blessed is the man that 
trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) Let your 
conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things 
as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee 
(5). So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not 
fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:5, 6.) 

b. See b, Ps. 70. 

c. O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day 
of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the 
earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and 
things wherein there is no profit. (Jer. 16:19.) Blessed is the man that 
trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) The 
Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my 
strength in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salva- 
tion, and my high tower. (Ps. 1S:2.) 

d. Behold, I and the children whom the L,ord hath given me are for 
signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth 
in mount Zion. (Is. 8:18.) For I think that God hath set forth us the 
apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle 
unto the world, and to angels and to men. (I Cor. 4:9.) 

e. Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out 
twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night. 
(II Sam. 17:1.) When the morning was come, all the chief priests and 
elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 
(Mat. 27:1.) 

f. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 
(Ps. 22:11.) Forsake me not. O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. 
(Ps. 38:21.) 

g. Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my 
voice, when I cry unto thee. (Ps. 141:1.) Make haste, O God, to de- 
liver me; make haste to help me, Lord. (Ps. 70:1.) 

h. And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk 
up and down in his name, saith the Lord. (Zech. 10:12.) 

i. All my bones shall say. Lord, who is like unto thee, which de- 
liverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and 
the needy from him that spoileth him? (Ps. 35:10.) Among the gods 



there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like 
unto thy works. (Ps. 86:8.) 
Psalm 72. 

a. Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall 
rule in judgment. (Is. 32:1.) Of the increase of his government and 
peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his 
kingdom, to order it, and tc establish it with judgment and with jus- 
tice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will 
perform this. (Is. 9:7.) And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, 
the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, 
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord (2). And shall make 
him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not 
judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his 
ears (3). But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove 
with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth 
with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay 
the wicked (4). And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and 
faithfulness the girdle of his reins. (Is. 11:2-5.) 

b. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many 
people: and they ♦shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their 
spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against na- 
tion, 'neither shall they learn war any more. (Is. 2:4.) For every battle 
of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but 
this shall be with burning and fuel of fire (5). For unto us a child is 
born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his 
shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The 
mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:5, 6.) 
And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar 
off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears 
into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, 
neither shall they learn war any more (3). But they shall sit every man 
under his vine, and under his fig tree: and none shall make them afraid: 
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. (Mic. 4:3, 4.) 

c. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheri- 
tance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Ps. 2:8.) 
And I will cut <rff the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Je- 
rusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace 
unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and 
from the river even to the ends of the earth. (Zech. 9:10.) And I will 
set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, 
and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of 
the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

A Psalm of A'saph. 

1 Truly God is good to Is'ra-el, even to such 
as are of a c clean heart. 

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; 
my steps h:id well nigh slipped. 

3 For I was envious 6 at the foolish, when I 
saw the 'prosperity of the wicked. 

4 For there are no bands in their death : but 
their strength is firm.

8 They are "corrupt, and speak wickedly 
concerning oppression : they d speak loftily. 

9 They set their mouth against the heav- 
ens, and their tongue walketh through the 
earth. 

10 Therefore his people return hither: and 
waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. 

11 And they say, How doth God know? and 
is there knowledge in the most High? 

12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who pros- 
per in the world; they increase in riches. 

13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, 
and washed my hands in innocency. 

14 For all the day long have I been plagued, 
and chastened every morning. 

15 If I say, I will speak thus.; behold, I 
should offend against the generation of thy 
children. 

16 When I thought to know this, it was too 
painful for me; 

17 Until * I went into the sanctuary of God; 
then understood I their end. 

18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery 
places: thou castedst them down into destruc- 
tion. 

19 How are they brought into desolation, as 
in a- moment ! they are utterly consumed with 
terrors. 

20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, 
Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise 
their image. 

21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was 
pricked in my reins. 

22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as 
a beast before thee. 

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: 
thou hast holden me by my right hand. 

24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, 
and ^afterward receive me to glory.

there is none upon earth that I desire beside

which he hath given will he pay him again. (Prov. 19:17.) He that by 
usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for 
him that will pity the poor. (Prov. 2S:8.) 

f. And I %yill bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth 
thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen. 12:3.) 
And thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in 
righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in 
him shall they glory. (Jer.. 4:2.) 

g. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden; for be- 
hold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. (Lu. 1:4S.) 
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name 
which is above every name (9). That at the name of Jesus every knee 
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under 
the earth (10). And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ 
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:9-11.) 

Psalm 73. 

a. He that hath clean ha^s, and a pure heart: who hath not lifted 
up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. (Ps. 24:4.) Create in me 
a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 51:10.) 
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Mat. 5:S.) 

b. Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious 
against the workers of iniquity. (Ps. 37:1.) Let not thine heart envy 
sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the dav long. (Prov. 

c. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself 
because of him who prospereth in his way. because of the man who 
bringeth wicked devices to pass. (Ps. 37:7.) Righteous art thou. O Lord, 

I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: 
Wherefore doth f the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they 

'hat deal - herously? (Jer. 12:1. i 

d. For when they speak areat swelling words of vanity, they allure 
.gh the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that 

aped from them who live in error. (II Pet. 2:18.) These 
murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their 
mouth speaketh crrr-at swelling words, having men's persons in admira-

f. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as 
our God?" (Ps. 77:13.) One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I 
seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days or" 
my life, to behold the" beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. 
(Ps. 27:4.) 

g. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and 
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (Jno. 
14:3.) For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were 
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, 
eternal in the heavens. (II Cor. 5:1.) Henceforth there is laid up for 
me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall 
give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that 
love his appearing. (II Tim. 4:8.) 

h. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency 
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered 
the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I mav win 
Christ. (Phil. 3:8.) 

i. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his 
anointed. (Ps. 2S:S.) Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily 
for me: for thou art my strength. (Ps. 31:4.) The Lord is my rock, 
and my fortress, and my deliverer: my God, my strength, in whom I 
will trust: my buckler, and the hern of n:y salvation, and my high 
tower. (Ps. 18:2.) The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall 
I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? 
(Ps. 27:1.) But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is 
their strength in the time of trouble. (Ps. 37:39.) 

j. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, 
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies 
washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.) Draw nigh to God, and he will 
draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your 
hearts, ye double-minded. (Ja. 4:S.) Blessed is the man whom thou 
choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy 
courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy 
holy temple. (Ps. 65:4.)

'PSALM 74. 

1 The prophet complaineth of the desolation 
of the sanctuary. 10 He moveth God to 
help in consideration of his power. 
Mas'chil of A'saph. 

1 God, why hast "thou cast us off for 
ever? why doth thine anger 6 smoke against 
the sheep of thy pasture? 

2 Remember my congregation, which thou 
hast purchased of old; the "rod of thine in- 
heritance, which thou hast c redeemed; this 
mount Zl'on, wherein thou hast dwelt. 

3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desola- 
tion; even all that the enemy hath done wick- 
edly in the sanctuary. 

4 Thine enemies roar in the midst, of thy 
congregations; d they set up their ensigns 3 for 
signs. 

5 A man was famous according as he had 
lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 

6 But now they break down the carved work 
thereof at once with axes and hammers. 

7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, 
they have defiled by casting down the dwelling 
place of thy name to the ground. 

8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy 
them together: they have burned up all the 
synagogues of God in the land. 

9 We see not our signs: 'there is no more 
any prophet : neither is there among us any 
that loioweth how long. 

10 O God, how long shall the adversary 
f reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme ^thy 
name for ever? 

11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even 
thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. 

12 For God is my King of old, working sal- 
vation in the midst of the earth. 

13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy 
strength: thou brakest the heads of the drag- 
ons in the waters. 

14 Thou brakest the heads of 4 leviathan in 
pieces, and gavest him to ''be meat to the peo- 
ple inhabiting the wilderness. 

15 Thou didst 'cleave the fountain and the 
flood: 'thou driedst up mighty rivers. 

16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: 
thou hast ''prepared the light and the sun.

Psalm 74. 

a. But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame: and goest not forth 
with our armies. (Ps. 44:9.) Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will 
he be favorable no more? (Ps. 77:7. 1 

b. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his 
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. (Ps. 18:8.) How long, Lord? 
wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? (Ps. 
89:46.) The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord 
and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that 
are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out 
his name from under heaven. (Dt. 29:2i\) 

c. Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of 
Jacob and Joseph. Selah. (Ps. 77:15.) And he saved them from the 
hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the 
enemy. ,(Ps. 106:10.) Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people 
which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto 
thy holy habitation. (Ex. 15:13.) In all their affliction he was afflicted, 
and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity 
he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of 
old. (Is. 63:9.) 

d. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders 
in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of 
the lions. (Dan. 6:27.) 

e. And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And 
the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open 
vision. (I Sam. 3:1.) He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked 
shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. (I 
Sam. 2:9.) Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon 
rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall 
perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. (Ez. 7:26.) Be- 
hold the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the 
land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the 
words of the Lord. (Amos 8:11.) 

f. For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by rea- 
son of the enemy and avenger. (Ps. 44:16.) And render unto our neigh- 
bors seven fold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have re-

thine anointed. (Ps. 89:51.)

be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as 
well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth 
the name of the Lord, shall be put to death. (Lev. 24:16.) 

h. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto 
the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from 



Egypt even until now. (Num. 14:19.) They that dwelt in the wilder- 
ness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. (Ps. 
72:9.) 

i. He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out cf 
the great depths. (Ps. 78:15.) He opened the rock, and the waters gushed 
out; they ran in the dry places like a river. (Ps. 105:41.) Which turned 
the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. (Ps. 
114:8.) And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the 
rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation 
drank, and their beasts also. (Num. 20:11.) And they thirsted not when 
he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the 
rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. (Is. 
48:21.). 

j. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. (Ps. 114:3.) And 
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea 
to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry 
land, and the waters were divided (21). And the children of Israel went 
into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a 
wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. (Ex. 14:21, 22.) 
For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for 
you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of 
the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom

generations. (Ps. 105:8.) 

Psalm 75. 

a. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of

sueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 13:21.) 
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord.

To the chief Musician on Negl-noth, A Psalm 

or Song of A'saph. 

1 In Ju'dah is God known: his name is 
great in Is'ra-el. 

2 In "Salem also is his tabernacle, and his 
dwelling place in Zi'on. 

3 There brake he the arrows of the bow,

6 At thy rebuke, God of Ja'cob, both Hhe 
chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 

7 Thou, even thou, art c 'to be feared: and 
who d may stand in thy sight when once thou 
art angry? 

8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard 
from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

the meek of the earth. z Se"lah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes 4 waking: I am so 
troubled that I cannot speak. 

5 I have considered the days of old, the 
years of ancient times. 

6 I call to remembrance my song in the 
night: I commune with mine own heart: and 
my spirit made diligent search. 

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will 
he be favourable no more? 

8 Is ^his mercy clean gone for ever? doth 
his promise fail for evermore? 

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath 
he in anger shut up his tender d mercies? s Se-

10 5 And I said, This is "my infirmity: but I 
will remember the years of the right hand of 
the most High. 

11 I will remember the works of the 2 Lord: 
surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and 
talk of thy doings. 

13 Thy /way, God, is in the sanctuary: 
who is so great a God as our God?

from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all t'aem that go a whoring 
from thee. (Ps. 73:27.) 
Psalm 76. 

a. Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest 
I sleep the sleep of death. (Ps. 13:3.) In their heat I will make their 
feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep 
a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord. (Jer. 51:39.) 

b. And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea 
overwhelmed their enemies. (Ps. 78:53.) Then sang Moses .and the chil- 
dren of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing 
unto the Lord; for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider 
hath he thrown into the sea. (Ex. 15:1.) And Miriam answered them, 
Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his 
rider hath he thrown into the sea. (Ex. 15:21.) 

c. 'God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to 
be had in reverence of all them that are about him. (Ps. 89:7.) For the 
Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to he feared above all 
gods. (Ps. 96:4.) For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he 
also is to be feared above all gods. (I Chr. 16:25.) 

d. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the 
fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks 
are thrown down by him. (Xah. 1:6.) If thou, Lord, shoutdest mark 
iniquities, O Lord, w : ho shall stand? (Ps. 130:3.) O Lord God of Israel, 
thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: be- 
hold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before 
thee because of this. (Ezra 9:15.) But who may abide the day of his 
coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a re- 
finer's fire, and Ike fuller's soap. (Mai. 3:2.) For the great day of his 
wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Rev. 6:17.) 

e. Xow I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the 
thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them. (Ex. 18:11.) For 
the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I 
raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name 
might be declared throughout all the earth. (Rom. 9:17.) 

f. When thou vowest a vow unto God. defer not to pay it; for he 
hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. (Ecc. 5:4.) 
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High. 
fPs. 50:14.) 

Psalm 77. 

a. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have 
sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also 
served Baalim. (Jud, 10:10) And they cried unto the Lord, and said. We 



have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served 
Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our en- 
emies, and we will serve thee. (I Sam. 12:10.) Therefore thou deliv- 
eredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the 
time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from 
heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them 
saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. (Neh. 9:27.) 
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and 
were not confounded. (Ps. 22:5.) Nevertheless he regarded their af- 
fliction, when he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) Then they cry unto the 
Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. (Ps. 
107:19.) 

b. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and 
thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 50:15.) In the day of my trouble I will call 
upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. (Ps. 80:7. i 

c. With my soul have I desired thee in the night: yea, with my spirit 
within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are "in the 
earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. (Is. 26:9.) 

d. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again 
toward thy holy temple. (Jon. 2:4.) Hear me when I call, O God of my 
righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress: havf 
mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) With the merciful thoi. 
wilt show thyself merciful: with an upright man thou wilt show thyseii 
upright. (Ps. 1S:25.) Hear me, O Lord: for thy loving-kindness is good: 
turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 
69:16.) Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 
6:36.) And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as 
his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merci- 
ful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) 

e. Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said. Truly 
this is a grief, and I must bear it. (Jer. 10:19.) And straightway the 
father of the child cried out, and said with tears. Lord, I believe; helD 
thou mine unbelief. Oik. 9:24.) 

f. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their 
end. (Ps. 73:17.) 

g. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea: and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and 
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. '(Ex. 14:21.) 

h. Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent 
in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not af- 
flict. (Job 37:23.) 

Psalm 78. 

a. Now therefore, if ye win ^pey my voice indeed, and keep my 






Psalm 78 

2 / b will open my mouth in a "parable: I 
will utter dark sayings of old: 

3 Which we have heard and known, and our 
fathers have told us. 

4 We c will not hide them from their chil- 
dren, shewing to the generation to come the 
praises of the 3 Lord, and his strength, and his 
''wonderful works that he hath done. 

5 For he established a 'testimony in Ja'cob, 
and appointed a law in Is'ra-el, which he com- 
manded our fathers, that they should make 
them known to their children: 

6 That the ^generation to come might know 
them, even the children which should be born; 
who should arise and declare them to be their 
children : 

7 That they might set their hope in God, 
and not "forget the works of God, but keep his 
''commandments : 

8 And might not be as their fathers, a stub- 
born and rebellious generation; a generation 
that set not their heart aright, and whose 
spirit was not stedfast with God. 

9 The children of E'phra'im, being armed, 
and carrying bows, turned back in the day of 
battle. 

10 They kept not the covenant of God, and 
refused to 'walK in his law; 

11 And -'forgat his works, and his wonders 
that he had shewed them. 

12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of 
their fathers, in the land of E'gypt, in the 
field of Zo'an. 

13 He A 'divided the sea, and caused them to 
pass through; and he made the waters to 
stand 4 as an heap. 

14 In the daytime also he led them with a 
cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 

15 'He clave the rocks in the wilderness, 
and gave them drink as out of the great 
depths. 

16 He brought streams also out of the rock, 
and caused waters to run down like rivers. 

17 And they sinned yet more against him 
by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

18 And '"they "tempted God in their heart 
by asking meat for their lust. 

19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, 
Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 

20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the 
waters gushed out, and the streams over- 
flowed; can he give bread also? can he provide 
flesh for his people? 

21 Therefore the Lord heard this, and was 
wroth: so a fire was kindled against Ja'cob, 
and anger also came up against Is'ra-el; 

22 Because they "believed not in God, and 
trusted not in his salvation : 

23 Though he had commanded the clouds 
from above, "and opened the doors of heaven, 

24 And had rained down manna upon them 
to eat, and had given them of the corn of 
heaven. 

25 Man did eat "angels' food: he sent them 
meat to -the full. 

26 He caused an east wind to blow in the 
heaven : and by his power he brought in the 
south wind. 

27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, 
and feathered fowls like as the sand of the 
sea: 

28 And he let it fall in the midst of their 
camp, round about their habitations. 

29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for 
he gave them their own desire; 

30 They were not estranged from their lust. 
But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 

31 The wrath of God came upon them, and 
slew 7 the- fattest of them, and smote down the 
chosen men of Is'ra-el. 

32 For all s this they sinned still, and be- 
lieved not for his wondrous works. 

33 Therefore their days did he 'consume in 
"vanity, and their years in trouble. 

34 When he Pslew them, then they sought 
him: and they returned and enquired early 
after God. 

35 And they remembered that God was their 
2roek, and the high God their redeemer. 

36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with 



covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: 
for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) Hearken unto me, my people; and 
give ear unto me, my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I 
will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. (Is. 51:4.) 

b. I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark say- 
ing upon the harp. (Ps. 49:4.) All these things spake Jesus unto the 
multitude in parables: and without a parable spake he not unto them 
(34). That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet say- 
ing, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have 
been kept secret from the foundation of the world. (Mat. 13:34, 35.) 

c. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt 
talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest 
by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Dt. 
6:7.) And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, This is done he- 
cause of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of 
Egypt. (Ex. 13 :S.) That this may be a sign among you, that when 
your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye 
by these stones? (Josh. 4:6.) 

d. God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I 
declared thy wondrous works. (Ps. 71:17.) Dost thou know the bal- 
ancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in 
knowledge? (Job 37:16.) 

e. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testi- 
mony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. (Ps. 19:7.) This he 
ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land 
of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. (Ps. 81:5.) 
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this 
word, it is because there is no light in them. (Is. 8:20.) 

f. This shall be written for the generations to come: and the people 
which shall be created shall praise the Lord. (Ps. 102:18.) 

g. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou 
fcrget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from 
thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy 
sons' sons. (Dt. 4:9.) Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which 
brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 
(Dt. 6:12.) Then thine heart te lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy 
God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house 
of bondage. (Dt. 8:14.) 

h. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither 
shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments 
of the Lord your God which I command you. (Dt. 4:2.) And Moses 
called all Israel, and said uato them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and 
judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, 
and keep, and do them (1). O that there were such an heart in them, 
that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it 
might be well with them, and with their children for ever. (Dt. 5:1, 29.) 
And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying. Keep 
all the commandments which I command you this day. (Dt. 27:1.) But 
take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses 
the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to 
walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave 



unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. 
(Josh. 22:5.) 

i. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the 
Lord. (Ps. 119:1.) And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed 
not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all 
that thou eommandedst them to do. therefore thou hast caused all this 
evil to come upon them. (Jer. 32:23.) They are not humbled even unto 
this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my 
statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers (10). Because ye 
have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the Lord, and 
have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor walked in his law, nor in his 
statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto 
you, as at this day. (Jer. 44:10, 23.) 

j. Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my 
people have forgotten me days without number. (Jer. 2:32.) 

k. Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou brakest the heads 
of the dragons in the waters. (Ps. 74:13.) To him which divided the 
Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:13.) And 
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the 
sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea 
dry land, and the waters were divided. (Ex. 14:21.) 

1. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb: 
and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, 
that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders 
of Israel. (Ex. 17:6.) And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he 
smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the con- 
gregation drank, and their beasts also. (Num. 20:11.) And did all drink 
the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that fol- 
lowed them: and that Rock was Christ. (I Cor. 10:4.) 

m. When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 
(Ps. 95:9.) But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God 
in the desert. (Ps. 106:14.) Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God,, as 
ye tempted him in Massah. (Dt. 6:16.) Neither let us tempt Christ, as 
some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (I Cor. 
10:9.) 

n. Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God. (Dt. 1:32.) 
Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and 
possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the 
commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor 
hearkened to his voice. (Dt. 9:23.) And to whom sware he that they 
should not enter into his rest, but to them that believe not? (Heb. 
3:18.) 

o. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be 
meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of 
hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out 
a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to" receive it. (Mai. 
3:10.) 

p. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their of 
fence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. (Hos.

tongues. 

37 For their heart was not right with him, 
neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 

38 But he, being full of 'compassion, for- 
gave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: 
yea, many a time turned he his anger away, 
and did not stir up all his wrath. 

39 For he remembered *that they were but 
flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh 
not again. 

40 How oft did they provoke him in the 
wilderness, ana grieve him in the desert ! 

41 Yea, they turned back and "tempted 
'"God, and limited the Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

42 They remembered not his hand, nor the 
day when he delivered them from the enemy. 

43 '"How he had wrought his signs in 
Egypt; and his wonders in the field of Zo'an: 

44 And had turned their rivers into blood; 
and their floods, that they could not drink. 

45 He sent divers sorts "of flies among 
them, which devoured them; and frogs, "which 
destroyed them. 

46 He gave also their increase unto the 
caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 

' 47 He destroyed their vines "with hail, and 
their sycomore trees with "frost. 

48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, 
and their flocks to I7 hot thunderbolts. 

49 He cast upon them the ^fierceness of his 
anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by 
sending evil angels among them. 

50 He made a way to his "anger; he spared 
not their soul from death, but gave their life 
over to the pestilence; 

51 And smote all the firstborn in E'gypt; 
the chief of their strength in the tabernacles 
of "Ham: 

52 But made his own people to go forth 
like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness 
like a flock. 

53 And he Jed them on safely, so that they 
feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their 
enemies. 

54 And he brought them to the border of his 
'sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his 
right hand had purchased. 

55 "He cast out the heathen also before 
them, and divided them an inheritance by line, 
and made the tribes of Is'ra-el to dwell in their

like their fathers: they were turned aside like 
a deceitful bow. 

58 For they provoked him to anger with 
their "high "places,, and moved him to jealousy 
with their graven images. 

59 When God "heard this, he was wroth, 
and greatly abhorred is'ra-el: 

60 So that he forsook the 2 'tabernacle of 
Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 

61 And ^delivered his ^strength ''into cap- 
tivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 

62 He gave c his people over also unto the 
2C sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 

63 The 00 nre ^consumed their young men; 
and their maidens s were not given to mar- 
riage. 

64 Their priests -"fell by the sword; and 
their widows 3 "made no lamentation. 

65 Then the 3 Lord 31 awaked as one out of 
sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by 
reason of wine. 

66 And he smote his enemies in the 32 hinder 
parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. 

67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of 
Joseph, and chose not the tribe of E'phra'im: 

68 But chose 33 the tribe of Ju'dah, the mount 
Zi'on which he loved. 

69 And he built his sanctuary like high 
palaces, like the earth which he hath estab- 
lished for ever. 

70 He chose Da'vid also his servant, and 
took him from the sheepfolds: 

71 From following the ewes great with 
young he brought him 6fi to feed Ja'cob his peo- 
ple, and Is'ra-el his inheritance. 

72 So he fed them according to the po integ 
rity of his heart; and guided them by the skil 
fulness of his hands. 

PSALM 79. 
1 The psalmist complaineth of the desolation 
of Jerusalem. 8 He prayeth for deliverance, 
13 and promiseth thankfulness. 
'A Psalm of A'saph. 

1 O God, the heathen are come into thine 
inheritance; thy holy temple have they de- 
filed; "they have laid Je-ru/sa-lem on heaps. 

2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they 
given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, 
the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the 
earth. 

3 Their blood have they shed like water 
round about Je-ru'sa-lem; 6 and there was none 
to bury them. 

4 We are become a reproach to our neigh- 



Gcd, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of 
my salvation, and my high tower. (Ps. 18:2.) For thou art my rock 
and my fortress: therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. 
(Ps. 31:3.) To show that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there 
is no unrighteousness in him. (Ps. 92:15.) O come, let us sing unto 
the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation. (Ps. 
95:1.) 

r. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
aoodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) And refused to obey, neither were 
mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their 
necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their 
bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, 
slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. (Neh. 
0:17.) But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, 
long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. (Ps. 86:15.) Thou 
showest lcving-kindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity 
of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: The Great, 
the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name. (Jer. 32:18.) 

s. And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man. 
for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty 
years. (Gen. 6:3.) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that 
which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (Jno. 3:6.) 

t. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, 
but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath. (Rom. 2:8.) 

u. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the low- 
esl hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire 
3 of the mountains. (Dt. 32:22.) Then the earth shook 
led; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he 
was wroth. HI Sam. 22:8.) The fierce nncrer of the Lord shall not re- 
turn, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of 
is heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. (Jer. 30:24.) Who can 
'1 before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his 
r? His furv is poured (jut like fin-, and tin- rocks are thrown down 
by him. (Xah. 1 :6.) 

v. An I in the greatness ol thine ixcellency thou hast overthrown 



them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which 
consumed them as stubble. (Ex. 15:7.) 

w. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which 
ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon 
the hills, and under every green tree. (Dt. 12:2.) 

x. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. (I 
Chr. 16:11.) 

y. And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni 
and Phinehas, were slain. (I Sam. 4:11.) 

z. And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and 
destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two 
thousand men. (Jud. 20:21.) And the Philistines fought, and Israel was 
smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very 
great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. (I 
Sam. 4:10.) 

aa. And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and 
the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled: and the fire of the Lord 
burnt among them and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts 
of the camp. (Num. 11:1.) For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a 
flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the 
lords of the high places of Anion. (Num. 21:2S.) Lord, when thy hand is 
lifted up, they will not see; but they shall see, and be ashamed for 
their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour 
them. (Is. 26:11.) 

bb. Also in time past, when Saul was king over us. thou wast he 
that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord said to thee. 
Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over 
Israel. (II Sam. 5:2.) 

cc. And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in 
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have 
commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments. (I Ks. 
9:4.) 

Psalm 79. 

a. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Je-

5 How long, 4 Lord? wilt thou be angry for 
ever? shall thy "jealousy burn like fire? 

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that 
have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms 
thaj; have not called upon thy name. 

7' For they have devoured Ja'cob, and laid 
waste his dwelling place. 

8 d O remember not "against us former 
iniquities : let thy tender mercies speedily pre- 
vent us: for we are brought very low. 

9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the 
glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge 
away our sins, c for thy name's sake. 

10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where 
is their God? let him be known among the 
heathen in our sight by the revenging of the 
blood of thy servants which is shed. 

11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come

power preserve thou those that are appointed 
to die; 

12 And render "unto our neighbours seven- 
fold into their bosom their reproach, where-

TSALM 81. 

An exhortation to a solemn praisiyig of God. 

To the chief Musician upon 2 Git'tith, A Psalm 

of A'saph. 

1 Sing aloud unto God a our strength: make 
a joyful noise unto the God of Ja'cob. 

2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the 3 tim- 



streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they 
shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor 
their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. (Jer. 
14:16.) 

c. Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I 
rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nation, that I 
may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even 
all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire 
of my jealousy. (Zeph. 3:8.) 

d. I, even I, and he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine 
own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Is. 43:25.) 

e. Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes 
run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the 
virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very 
grievous blow. (Jer. 14:17.) 

f. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger 
smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? (Ps. 74:1.) And I will raise up 
for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with 
hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 
Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and 
that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God. 
And ye my flock, the flock of mv pasture, are men, and I am your God, 
saith the Lord God. (Ez. 34:29-31.) 

g. And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, 
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark 
upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. (Gen. 4:15.) And if 
ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring 
seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins (21). Then I 
will walk contrary unto you also in fury: and I. even I, will chastise you 
seven times for your sins. (Lev. 26:21, 28.) The words of the Lord are 
pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 
(Ps. 12:6.) Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous 
judgments. (Ps. 119:164.) But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; 
he shall give all the substance of his house. (Prov. 6:31.) Moreover the 
light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the 
sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the 
Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their 
wound. (Is. 30:26.) 

Psalm 80. 

a. The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the 
cherubim; let the earth be moved. (Ps. 99:1.) And there I will meet 
with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercyseat, 
from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testi- 
mony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the 
children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) So the people sent to Shiloh, that they 
might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, 
which dw r elleth between the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni 
and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. (I Sam. 



4:4.) And David arose and went with all the people that were with him 
from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose 
name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between 
the cherubim. (II Sam. 6:2.) 

b. Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew 
our days as of old. (Lam. 5:21.) O God, thou hast cast us off, thou 
hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us 
again. (Ps. 60:1.) Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine 
anger toward us to cease. (Ps. 85:4.) 

c. My tears have been my meat day and night, while they con- 
tinually say unto me, Where is thy God? (Ps. 42:3.) For I have eaten 
ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. (Ps. 102:9.) 

d. For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and 
the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, hut 
behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. (Is. 5:7.) Yet 
I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed; how then art 
thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? (Jer. 
2:21.) Many pastures hath destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my 
portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wil- 
derness. (Jer. 12:10.) And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low 
stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were 
imder him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot 
forth sprigs. (Ez. 17:6.) 

e. For the Lord hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the 
excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and 
marred their vine branches. (Nah. 2:2.) 

f. Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through 
prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort 
Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. (Zech. 1:17.) 

g. When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou 
makest his beauty to. consume away like a moth: surely every man is 
vanity. Selah. (Ps. 39:11.) At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the 
chariot and the horse are cast into a dead sleep. (Ps. 76:6.) 

h. Thou, which hast shown me great and sore troubles, shalt quick- 
en me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 
(Ps. 71:20.) 

i. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto 
thee (25): The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee 
peace. (Num. 6:25, 26.) God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and 
cause his face to shine upon us: Selah. (Ps. 67:1.) Now therefore, O 
our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and 
cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the 
Lord's sake. (Dan. 9:17.) 

Psalm 81. 

a. The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? the 
Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) 
But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in 
the time of trouble. (Ps. 37:39.)

5 This he ordained in Jo'seph for a testi-

Egypt: where I heard a language that I un- 
derstood not. 

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:

7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I c delivered

Psalm 90

41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he 
is x a reproach to his neighbours. 

42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his 
adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies 
to rejoice. 

43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his 
sword, and hast not made him to stand in 
the battle. 

44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and 
cast his throne down to the ground. 

45 The days of his youth hast thou short- 
ened: thou hast vcovered him with shame. 
'Se'lah. 

46 How long, "Lord? wilt thou hide thyself 
for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 

47 Remember how short my time is: where- 
fore hast thou made all men in vain? 

48 What man is he that liveth, and shall 
not see death? shall he deliver his soul from 
the hand of the grave? Se'lah. 

49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkind- 
nesses, which thou swarest unto -Da'vid in 
thy truth? 

50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy 
servants; how I do bear in my bosom the re- 
proach of all the mighty people; 

51 Wherewith thine enemies have re- 
proached, Lord; wherewith thdy have re- 
proached the footsteps of thine anointed. 

52 Blessed be the 2 Lord for evermore. Amen,

Psalm 90. 



1. Ps. 90 to 106 constitute the 
fourth book of the Hebrew division. 
This is the only Ps. accredited to 
Moses. It was written on the occa- 
sion of the sentence of God upon the 
unbelieving people. (Num. 14.) Its 
subject is eternity of God. 



2. Wasting away under the effect 
of the OVath sentence. 



3. God holds our sins before him, 
that, when the measure is full and 
forgiveness inadmissable, he makes 
them an object of puuishment. (De- 
litzsch.)

6. Accomplish, affirm. 



world, even from everlasting to everlasting, 
thou art God. 

3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and 
sayest, c Return, ye children of men. 

4 For d a thousand years in thy sight are 
but as yesterday when it is past, and as a 
watch in the night. 

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; 
they are as a sleep: in the morning they are 
like grass which groweth up. 

6 In c ihe morning it flourisheth, and grow- 
eth up; in the evening it is cut down, and 
withereth. 

7 For we are Consumed by thine anger, and 
by thy wrath are we troubled. 

8 Thou fhast set our "iniquities before thee, 
our "secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 

9 For all our days are passed away in thy 
wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is 
told. 

10 The days of our years are threescore 
years and ten; and if by reason of strength 
they be fourscore years, yet is their strength 
''labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, 
and we fly away. 

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? 
even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 

12 'So teach us to number our days, that 
we may apply ^our hearts unto wisdom. 

13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it 
'repent /i 'thee concerning thy servants. 

14 O satisfy 'us early with thy mercy; that 
we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 

15 Make us glad according to the days 
wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years 
wherein we have seen evil. 

16 Let " ! thy work appear unto thy servants, 
and thy glory unto their children. 

17 And let the "beauty "of the Lord our God 
be upon us : "and "establish thou the work of 
our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands 
establish thou it. 



x. Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a de- 
rision to them that are round about us. (Ps. 44:13.) For the zeal of thine 
house hath eat me up; and the reproaches of them that reproach thee 
are fallen upon me (9). Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, 
and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all before thee. (Ps. G9:9, 19.) 

y. My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my 
face hath covered me. (Ps. 44:15.) Let them be confounded and con- 
sumed that are adversaries to my soul: let them be covered with re- 
proach and dishonor that seek my hurt. (Ps. 71:13.) Let mine ad- 
versaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with 
their own confusion as with a mantle. (Ps. 109:29.) 

z. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear and your soul shall 
live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure 
mercies of David. (Is. 55:3.) 

Psalm 90. 

a. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually re- 
sort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock 
and my fortress. (Ps. 71:3.) He that dwelleth in the secret place of 
the Most High shall abide uuder the shadow of the Almighty. (Ps. 91:1.) 
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. 
(Dt. 33:27.) Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and 
although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to 
them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. (Ez. 
11:16.) 

b. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought 
forth. (Prov. 8:25.) Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou 
made hefore the hills? (Job 15:7.) 

c. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return 
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and 
unto dust shalt thou return. (Gen. 3:19.) Then shall the dust return 
to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return unto God who gave 
it. (Ece. 12:7.) 

d. But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is 
with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 
(II Pet. 3:8.) 

e. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as 
a shadow and continueth not. (Job 14:2.) When the wicked spring as the 
grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they 
shall be destroyed for ever. (Ps. 92:7.) And he said, What shall I cry? 
All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the 
field. (Is. 40:6.) 

f. These things hast thou done, and I kept silent; thou thoughtest 
that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and 
set them in order before thine eyes. (Ps. 50:21.) For mine eyes are 
upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their 
iniquity hid from mine eyes. (Jer. 16:17.) 

g. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret 
faults. (Ps. 19:12.) For God shall bring every work into judgment, with 
every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc, 
12:14.) 

h. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sor- 
row, that my days should be consumed with shame? (Jer. 20:18.) See 
Ecc. 12:2-7. 



i. Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, 
what it is; that I may know how frail I am. (Ps. 39:4.) See then that 
ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise (15), Redeeming the 
time, because the days are evil (16). Wherefore be ye not unwise, but 
understanding what the will of the Lord is. (Eph. 5:15-17.) Then the 
man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels 
of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he 
may not put her away all his days. (Dt. 22:29.) 

j. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my command- 
ments with thee (1); So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and 
apply thine heart to understanding (2); Yea, if thou criest after knowl- 
edge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding (3) ; If thou seekest her 
as silver, and searchest for her as hid treasures (4) ; Then shalt thou 
understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God (5). 
For the Lord giveth wisdom; out of his mouth cometh knowledge and 
understanding. (Prov. 2:1-6.) 

k. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone and there is none shut 
up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) Nevertheless he regarded their affliction when 
he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) And the Lord repented of the evil 
which he thought to do unto his people. (Ex. 32:14.) And rend your 
heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he 
is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and re- 
pen teth him of the evil. (Joel 2:13.) Thou hast forsaken me, saith the 
Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand 
against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. (Jer. 15:6.) 

1. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; 
and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. (Ps. 36:8.) 
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto 
thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the 
goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. (Ps. 65:4.) Who satisfieth 
thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the 
eagle's. (Ps. 103:5.) And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fat- 
ness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord. 
(Jer. 31:14.) 

m. O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive 
thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make 
known; in wrath remember mercy. (Hab. 3:2.) We have heard with 
our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their 
days, in the times of old. (Ps. 44:1.) I will meditate also of all thy 
work, and talk of thy doings. (Ps. 77:12.) For thou, Lord, hast made 
me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 
(Ps. 92:4.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are 
judgment: a God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is he. 
(Dt. 32:4.) 

n. That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my 
life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. 
(Ps. 27:4.) 

o. Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought 
all our works in us. (Is. 26:12.) The steps of a good man are ordered 
by the Lord, and he delighteth in his way. (Ps. 37:23.) So then neither 
is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that 
giveth the increase. (I Cor. 3:7.)

long shall the wicked triumph? 

4 How long shall they Gutter and speak hard 
things? and all the workers of iniquity boast 
themselves? 

5 They break in pieces thy people, 2 Lord, 
and afflict thine heritage. 

6 They slay the widow and the stranger, 
and murder the fatherless. 

7 Yet they say, The 2 Lord shall not see, 
neither shall the God of Ja'cob regard it. 

8 Understand, ye "brutish among the people : 
and ye 4 fools, when will ye be wise? 

9 'He that planted the ear, shall he not 
hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not 
see? 

10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall 
not he correct? he that ^teacheth man knowl- 
edge, shall not he know? 

11 The 'Lord "knoweth the thoughts of man, 
that they are vanity. 

12 Blessed is Hhe man whom thou chasten- 
est, z Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; 

13 That thou mayest give him rest from 
the days of adversity, until the pit be digged 
for the wicked.

neither will he forsake his inheritance.

doers? or who will ' stand up for me against 
the workers of iniquity?

souls is wise. (Prov. 11:30.) And the remnant that is escaped out of the

forth more fruit. (Jno. 15:2.) And the fruit of righteousness is sown 
in peace of them that make peace. (Js. 3:18.) 

i. Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in 
the way. (Ps. 25:8.) Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of under-

my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and 
guide me. (Ps. 31:3.) To show that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, 
and there is no unrighteousness in him. (Ps. 92:15.) 

Psalm 93. 

a. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that 
brirgeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings 
of good, that publisheth salvation: that saith unto Zion, Thy God reign- 
eth! (Is. 52:7.) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, 
and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, 
saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Rev. 19:6.) 
Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be 
established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people right-

Lord: awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art 
thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? (Is. 51:9.) 

d. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever, the sceptre of thy 
kingdom is a right sceptre. (Ps. 45:6.) Thcu, O Lord, remainest for 
ever; thy throne from generation to generation. (Lam. 5:19.) 

e. The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for 
ever. (Ps. 29:10.) Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their 
waves, and the tumult of the people. (Ps. 65:7.) But thou, Lord, art 
most high for evermore. (Ps. 92:8.) 

f. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of 
God dwelleth in you? (16). If any man defile the temple of God, him 
shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 
(I Cor. 3:16, 17.) Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; wor- 
ship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Ps. 29:2.) O worship the Lord

a. The sword without, and terror within shall destroy both the young 
man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs. (Dt. 
32:25.) Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not; 
behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recom- 



pense; he will come and save you. (Is. 35:4.) God is jealous, and the 
Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth and is furious; the Lord will take 
vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. 
(Nah. 1:2.) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place 
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the 
Lord. (Rom. 12:19.) 

b. That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the right- 
eous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, 
that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 
(Gen. 18:25.) The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his 
works. (Ps. 145:17.) Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy 
throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. (Ps. 89:14.) Before 
the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall 
he judge the world, and the people with equity. (Ps. 98:9.) Judge not 
according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (Jno. 7:24.) 
He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are judgment: a 
God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Dt. 32:4.) Also 
unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man 
according to his work. (Ps. 62:12.) Thy righteousness also, O God, is 
very high, who hast done great things; O God, who is like unto thee! 
(Ps. 71:19.) 

c. Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work: 
rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth for them and for their 

j children. (Job 24:5.) I have seen the wicked in great power, and 
spreading himself like a green bay tree (35). Yet he passed away, and 

I lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. (Ps. 
37:35, 36.) 

d. To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un- 
godly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly 
committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have 
spoken against him. (Jude 15.) 

e. And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or 
maketh the dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or the blind? have not I the 
Lord? (Ex. 4:11.) The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath 
made even both of them. (Prov. 20:12.) 

f. Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh 
us wiser than the fowls of heaven? (Job 35:11.) For his God doth in- 
struct him to discretion, and doth teach him. (Is. 28:26.) 

g. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is 
written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness (19). And again, 
The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. (I 
Cor. 3:19, 20.) For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will 
he not then consider it? (Job. 11:11.) 

h. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; therefore despise 
not thou the chastening of the Almighty. (Job 5:17.) And ye have 
forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My 
son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou 
art rebuked of him (5). For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. and 
scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (Heb. 12:5, 6.) Thou shalt also 
consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord 
thy God chasteneth thee. (Dt. 8:5.) My son, despise not the chasten- 
ing of the Lord: neither be weary of his correction (11). For w r hom the 
Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he de- 
lighteth. (Prov. 3:11, 12.) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be 
zealous therefore, and repent. (Rev. 3:19.) 

i. Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and 
judgment are the habitation of his throne. (Ps. 97:2.) A bruised reed 
shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall 
bring forth judgment unto truth. (Is.' 42:3.) I will bear the indignation 
of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my 
cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light. 
and I shall behold his righteousness. (Mic. 7:9.) 

j. Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul

me thy comforts delight my soul.

2 The "Lord h hath made known his salva- 
tion: c his righteousness hath he openly shelved

Psalm 97. 

a. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about 
him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. (Ps. 18:11.) Lo, I 
come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I 
speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. (Ex. 19:9.) And the moun- 
tain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, 
and thick darkness. (Dt. 4:11.) 

b. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand 
stood before him: the judgment was set and the books were opened. 
(Dan. 7:10.) Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went 
forth at his feet. (Hab. 3:5.) There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, 
and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. (Ps. 18:8.) 

c. For behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all 
the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day 
that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall 
leave them neither root nor branch. (Mai. 4:1.) For our God is a con- 
suming fire. (Heb. 12:29.) 

d. The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath 
he openly shown in the snht of the heathen. (Ps. 98:2.) Holy, holy, 
holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. (Is. 6:3.) 
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it 
together. (Is. 40:5.) It shall come that I will gather all nations and 
tongues; and they shall come and see my glory. (Is. 66:18.) 

e. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness 
of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or 
that is in the water under the earth. (Ex. 20:4.) For they provoked 
him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with 
their graven images. (Ps. 78:58.) They shall be turned back, they shall 
be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten 
images, Ye are our gods. (Is. 42:17.) They that make a graven image 
are all of them vanity (9). Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed; and 
the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let 
them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. 
(Is. 44:9, 11.) 

f. Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, 
and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that 
which is to come. (Eph. 1:21.) That men may know that thou, whose 
name alone is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth. (Ps. 
83:18.) 

g. Hate the evil and love the good, and establish judgment in the 
gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the 
remnant of Joseph. (Amos 5:15.) Abhor that which is evil; cleave to 
that which is good. (Ro. 12:9.) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: 
pride and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 
(Prov. 8:13.) 

h. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his 
saints. (Prov. 2:8.) O love the Lord all ye his saints: for the Lord pre- 
serveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. (Ps. 
31:23.) The Lord preserveth all them that love him. (Ps. 145:20.) 



i. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the. lions' mouths, 
that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was 
found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. (Dan. 
6:22.) And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver 
them from the wicked, and save them because they trust in him. (Ps. 
37:40.) And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will 
redeem thee out, of the hand of the terrible. (Jer. 15:21.) 

j. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is 
gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. (Ps. 112:4.) Thou shalt 
also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light 
shall shine upon thy ways. (Job 22:28.) But the path of the just is 
as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 
(Prov. 4:18.) 

Psalm 98. 

a. And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was 
no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and 
his righteousness, it sustained him. (Is. 59:16.) And I looked and thera 
was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: there- 
fore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury it upheld 
me. (Is. 63:5.) 

b. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the na- 
tions; and all the ends of the earth shall se'e the salvation of our God. 
(Is. 52:10.) For mine eyes have seen thy salvation. (Luke 2:30.) 

c. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy 
glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the 
Lord shall name. (Is. 62:2.) Whom God hath set forth to be a pro- 
pitiation through faith in his blood, to dedlare his righteousness for the 
remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. (Ro. 
3:25.) 

d. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy 
(54). To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember 
his holy covenant. (Luke 1:54, 72.) 

e. It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up 
the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel; I will also 
give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation 
unto the end of the earth. (Is. 49:6.) And all flesh shall see the salva- 
tion of God. (Luke 3:6.) 

f. See f, Ps. 96.

flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth. (Ps. 80:1.1 
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from 
above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon 
the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in com- 
mandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) So the people sent 
to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant 
of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubim. (I Sam. 4:4.) 

b. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our 
God, in the mountain of his holiness. (Ps. 48:1.) Cry out and shout, 
thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst 
of thee. (Is. 12:6.)

strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. (Ps. 30:7.) The 
east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth 
him out of his place. (Job 27:21.) 

h. But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of 
the grass he shall pass away. (Js. 1:10.) 

i. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man 
can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom he 
honor and power everlasting. Amen. (I Tim. 6:16.) But the Lord shall 
endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. (Ps. 9:7.) 
The Lord is King for ever and ever. (Ps. 10:16.) Thcu, O Lord, re- 
mainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. (Lam. 5:19.) 

j. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her 
warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath 
received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. (Is. 40:2.) 

k. See f, Ps. 60. 

1. For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of 
the poor shall not perish for ever. (Ps. 9:18.) For he hath not despised 
nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face 
from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. (Ps 22:24.) Let thine 
ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer 
of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the 
children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children 
of Israel, which we have sinned against thee. (Neb.. 1:6.) 

m. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for 
our learning; that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures 
might have hope. (Ro. 15:4.) And they are written for our admoni- 
tion, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (I Cor. 10:11.) 

n. This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth 
my praise. (Is. 43:21.) 

o. Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless 
thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest 
unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. (Dt. 26:15.) 

p. Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord 
their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his good- 
ness in the latter days. (Hos. 3:5.) All the ends of the world shall 
remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations 
shall worship before thee. (Ps. 22:27.) And nations whom thou hast 
made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy 
name. (Ps. 86:9.) Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, 
and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons 



in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders 
(22). And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy 
nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward 
the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that 
I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. (Is. 
49:22, 23.) 

q. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of 
the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands (10): They 
shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall wax old as doth a 
garment (11) ; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall 
be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shalt not fail. (Heb. 
1:10-12.) 

r. But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word 
are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and 
perdition of ungodly men. (II Pet. 3:7.) 

s. For I am the Lord, I change not. (Mai. 3:6.) Jesus Christ the 
same yesterday, and today, and for ever. (Heb. 13:8.) I the Lord, the 
first, and with the last; I am he. (Is. 41:4.) Ye are my witnesses, saith 
the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know 
and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no 
God formed, neither shall there be after me. (Is. 43:10.) Every good 
gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the 
Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turn- 
ing. (Js. 1:17.) 

Psalm 103. 

a. Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth 
out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. (Dt. 6:12.) Beware 
that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, 
and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day. 
(Dt. 8:11.) 

b. And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that 
dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. (Is. 33:24.) When Jesus 
saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be 
forgiven thee. (Mk. 2:5.) For thou, Lord, art good, and ready ts for- 
give; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. (Ps. 
86:5.) And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. (Ps. 130:8.) 
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, 
and will not remember thy sins. (Is. 43:25.) 

c. Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be 
saved: for thou art my praise. (Jer. 17:14.) O Lord my God, I cried 
unto thee, and thou hast healed me. (Ps. 30:2.) And said, If thou wilt 
diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that 
which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and 
keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which 
I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that healeth 
thee. (Ex. 15:26.) For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal 
thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they call thee an Outcast, 
saying. This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. (Jer. 30:17.) 

d. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for 
he shall receive me. Selah. (Ps. 49:15.) 

e. The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish 
equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. (Ps. 99:4.) 
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered 
not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even

7 He made known his ways unto Mo'ses, his 
acts unto the children of Is'ra-el. 

8 The T,ord Hs merciful and gracious, slow 
to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 

9 He -"will not always 5 chide: neither will 
he keep his anger for ever. 

10 He ''hath not dealt with us after our sins; 
cor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 

11 For as the heaven is high above the 
earth, so great is his mercy 'toward them that 
-'fear him. 

12 As far as the east is from the west, so 
far hath he ^'removed our transgressions from 
us. 

13 Like as a 'father pitieth his children, so 
the : Lord pitieth them that fear him. 

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remem- 
bereth that we are dust. 

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a 
flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

3 Who "layeth *the beams of his chambers

wind : 

4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his min- 
isters a flaming 5 fire: 

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, 
that it should not be removed for ever. 

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a 
garment: the waters stood above the moun- 
tains. 

7 At thy 6 rebuke they fled; at the voice of 
thy thunder they hasted away. 

8 They go up by the mountains; they go 
down by the valleys unto the place which 
thou hast founded for them. 

9 Thou hast set a bound c that they may not 
pass over; that they turn not again to cover 
the earth. 

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, 
which run among the hills. 

11 They give drink to every beast of the

13 He watereth the hills from his cham-

at the Red sea. (Ps. 106:7.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all 
his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquitv, just and 
right is he. (Dt. 32:4.) 

f. And the Lord passed hy hefore him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) But thou, O Lord, art a God full of 
compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and 
truth. (Ps. 86:15.) The Lord is long-suffering, and of great mercy, for- 
giving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, 
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third 
and fourth generation. (Xum. 14:18.) And refused to obey, neither were 
mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them: but hardened their 
necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their 
bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, 
slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. (Xeh. 
9:17.) (Though Jesus himself baptised not, but his disciples.) (Jno. 4:2.) 

g. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth 
by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his 
anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. (Mic. 7:18.) For his 
anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure 
for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Ps. 30:5.) For I will not 
contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should 
fail before me, and the souls which I have made. (Is. 57:16.) 

h. And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for 
our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than 
our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this. (Ezra 
9:13.) It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his 
compassions fail not. (Lam. 3:22.)

have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according 
» the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) Behold, for peace I had great 
bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit 
of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. (Is. 38:17.) 
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: 
but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away 
sin by the sacrifice of himself. (Heb. 9:26.) 

1. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when 
I make up my jewels: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own 
son that serveth him. (Mai. 3:17.) 

m. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am 
the Lord. (Lev. 22:31.) My son, forget not my law: but let thine heart 
keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Thou shalt keep therefore his 
statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that 
It may ko well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that 



thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God 
I giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) Therefore shall ye keep all the com- 
| mandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and 
I go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it. (Dt. 11:8.) But 
it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the 
Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes 
which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon 
thee, and overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) That thou mightest fear the Lord 
; thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I com- 
mand thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's s°n, all the days of thy 
j life; and that thy days may be prolonged. (Dt. ft.*.) 

n. And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him (1). 

I And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called 

the name of that place Mahanaim. (Gen. 32:1, 2.) Praise ye him, all his 

! angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. (Ps. 148:2.) And suddenly there 

was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and 

saying. (Luke 2:13.) 

o. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 

thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand 

( stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Psalm 104. 

a. It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded 
I his truth in the earth : he that calleth for the waters of the sea. and 
i poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name. 

(Amos 9:6.) 

b. Ther the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of 
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the 

I breath of thy nostrils. (Ps. 18:15.) He rebuked the Red sea also, and 
it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the 

i wilderness. (Ps. 106:9.) Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? 
when T called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all. 

I that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my 

j rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish 
stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. (Is. 50:2.) 

c. And I wil" establish my covenant with you: neither shall all 
I flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood: neither shall there 
I any more be a flood to destroy the earth. (Gen. 9:11.) 

d. And God said. Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, 
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which 
is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for meat (29). 
Anl to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to 
every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have 
given every green herb for meat: and it was so. (Gen. 1:29, 30.)

21 The young lions roar after their prey, 
and seek their meat from God. 

22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to

24 "Lord, how manifold are thy works! 
°in wisdom hast thou made them all : the earth

enant : 

11 Saying, ''Unto thee will I give the land of 
Ca'naan, the lot of your inheritance: 

12 When Hhey were but a few men in num- 
ber; yea, very few, and strangers in it. 

13 When they went from one nation to an-

14 He •'suffered no man to do them wrong: 
yea, fc he reproved 5 kings for their sakes; 

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and 
do my prophets no harm. 

16 Moreover he called for a famine upon

§eph, who was sold for a servant: 

18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he

19 Until the time that his word came: the 
word of the 3 Lord tried him. 

20 The king sent and loosed him; even the 
ruler of the people, and let him go free. 

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler 
of all his substance: 

22 To bind his princes at his "pleasure; and 
teach his senators wisdom. 



f. And God said. Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven 
to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for

g. To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy en- 
dureth for ever. (Ps. 136:5.) The Lord by wisdom hath founded the

of th7 wondrous works. (Ps. 119:27.) I will speak of the glorious honor

d. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,

name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them

you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I sought 



the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Ps.

e. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my 
spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in 
the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. (Is. 
26:9.) 

f. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember 
his holy covenant. (Luke 1:72.) And he remembered for them his 
covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 
106:45.) 

g. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs 
of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath. 
(Heb. 6:17.) And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and 
will multiply thee exceedingly. (Gen. 17:2.) And said. By myself have 
I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast 
not withheld thy son, thine only son (16). That in blessing I will bless 
thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the 
heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall 
possess the gate of his enemies (17.) And in thy seed shall all the 
nations of the eaith be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 
(Gen. 22:16-18.) 

h. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, 
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the 
great river, the river Euphrates. (Gen. 15:18.) 

i. The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because 
ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of 
all people. (Dt. 7:7.) And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have 
troubled me, to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, 
among the "Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, 
they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I 
shall be destroyed, I and my house. (Gen. 34:30.) 

j. And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities 
that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons 
of Jacob. (Gen. 35:5.) Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he 
is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou 
restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all 
that are thine. (Gen. 20:7.) 

k. And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues 
because of Sarai, Abram's wife. (Gen. 12:17.) But God came to Abim 
elech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead 
man, for the woman which thcu hast taken; for she is a man's wife (3). 
Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he 
shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, 
knew thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. (Gen. 
20:3, 7.)

Psalm 106 



23 Is'ra-el also came into E'gypt; and Ja'cob 
sojourned in the land T of Ham. 

24 And he increased his people greatly; and 
made them stronger than their enemies. 

25 He turned their heart to hate his people, 
to deal subtilly with his servants. 

26 He sent Mo'ses his servant; and Aar'on 
whom he had chosen. 

27 They shewed his signs among them, and 
wonders in the land of Ham. 

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and 
'they rebelled not against his word. 

29 He turned their waters into blood, and 
slew their fish. 

30 Their land brought forth frogs in abun- 
dance, in the chambers of their kings. 

31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of 
flies, and lice in all their coasts. 

32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming 
fire in their land. 

33 He smote their vines also and their fig 
trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. 

34 He spake, and the locusts came, and 
caterpillers, and that without number, 

35 And did eat up all the herbs in their 
land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. 

36 He smote also all the firstborn in their 
land, '"the chief of all their strength. 

37 He brought them forth also with silver 
and gold : and there was not one feeble person 
among their tribes. 

38 Egypt was glad when they departed: 
for the fear of them fell upon them. 

39 "He spread a cloud for a covering; and 
fire to give light in the night. 

40 The "people asked, and he brought quails, 
and satisfied them with the bread s of heaven. 

41 He ^opened the r 'rock, and the waters 
gushed out; they ran in the dry places like 
a river. 

42 For he remembered 'diis holy promise, 
and A 'bra-ham his servant. 

43 And he brought forth his people with 
joy, and his chosen with gladness:

^SALM 106. 

The story of the people's rebellion, and God's 

mercy. 

1 Praise ye the "Lord. O give thanks unto 
the 2 Lord; for he is "good: for his mercy en- 
dureth for ever. 

2 Who 6 can utter the mighty acts of the 
: Lord? who can shew forth all his praise? 

3 Blessed 3 are they that r keep judgment, and 
he that d doeth righteousness at all times. 

4 Remember me, O "Lord, with the favour 
c that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me 
with thy salvation; 

5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, 
that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy na- 
tion, that I may glory with thine inheritance. 

6 We fhave sinned with our fathers, we 
have committed iniquity, we have done wick- 
edly. 

7_0ur fathers understood not thy wonders 
in E'gypt; they remembered not the multitude 
of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, 
even at the Red sea. 

8 Nevertheless he saved them 0for his name's 
sake, that he might make his mighty power to 
be known. 

9 He ''rebuked the Red sea also, and it was 
dried up: so he led them through the depths, 
as through the wilderness. 

10 And he saved them from the hand of 
him that hated them, and redeemed them 
from the hand of the enemy. 

11 And the waters covered their enemies: 
there was not one of them left. 

12 Then believed they his words; they sang 
his praise. 

13 They soon forgat 'his works; they waited 
not for his counsel: 

14 But ^'lusted exceedingly in the wilder- 
ness, and tempted God in the desert. 



1. He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testi- 
monies, and the ordinance that he gave them. (Ps. 99:7.) 

m. Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning 
of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power. 
(Gen. 49.3.) Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 
(Ps. 135:8.) To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:10.) 

n. And the Lord went before them by the day in a pillar of a 
cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give 
them light; to go by day and night. (Ex. 13:21.) In the daytime also 
he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. (Ps. 
78:14.) And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount 
Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the 
shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a 
defence. (Is. 4:5.) 

o. I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak 
unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye 
shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your 
God. (Ex. 16:12.) 

p. And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of 
that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. (I 
Cor. 10:4.) 

q. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and 
afterward shall they come out with great substance. (Gen. 15:14.) 

r. Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the 
judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and 
go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth 
you. (Dt. 4:1.) 

Psalm 106. 

a. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none 
good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the com- 
mandments. (Mat. 19:17.) For the Lord is good; his mercy is ever- 
lasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (Ps. 100:5?) 

b. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast 
done, and thy thoughts which are to us- ward: they cannot be reckoned 
up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are 
more than can be numbered. (Ps. 40:5.) 

c. Jesus said unto him, Thnn shalt love the Lord thy God with all 
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thv mind. (Mat. 22 37 ) 
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with 
all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Dt. fi:5.) And now, Israel, what 
doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thv God. 
to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God 
with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Dt. 10:12.) My son, give me 
thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. (Prov. 23:26.) 

d. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy 
holy hill? Hi. He that walketh uprightly and worketh righteousness, 
and speaketh the truth in his heart. (Ps. 15:1, 2.) And herein do I 



exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, 
and toward men. (Acts 24:16.) And let us not be weary in well doing: 
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:9.) 

e. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, 
neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, 
and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them. 
(Ps. 44:3.) Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest 
to do unto those that love thy name. (Ps. 119:132.) 

f. We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done 
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and 
from thy judgments. (Dan. 9:5.) Yet if they shall bethink themselves 
in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make 
supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, 
saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed 
wickedness. (I Ks. 8:47.) Since the days of our fathers have we been 
in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our 
kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the 
lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of 
face, as it is this day. (Ezra 9:7.) We have dealt very corruptly against 
thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the 
judgments which thou commandest thy servant Moses. (Neh. 1:7.) We 
lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have 
sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth 
even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our 
God. (Jer. 3:25.) 

g. But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be pol- 
luted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out. (Ez. 20:14.) 

h. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the 
rivers: Bashan languisheth and Carmel and the flower of Lebanon lan- 
guished. (Nah. 1:4.) Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and 
his people, saying, Where is he that brought them out of the sea with 
the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his Holy Spirit within 
him? (Is. 63:11.) 

i. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we 
drink? (Ex. 15:24.) And the whole congregation of the children of 
Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. (Ex. 16:2.) 
Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said. Give us water 
that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? 
wherefore do ye tempt the Lord? (Ex. 17:2.) 

j. And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their 
lust. (Ps. 78:1S.) And the mixed multitude that was among them fell 
a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who 
shall give us flesh to eat? (Num. 11:4.1 Now these things were our 
examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they 
also lusted (6). Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also 
tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (I Cor. 10:6, 9.) Wherefore the 
people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. 
And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye 
tempt the Lord? (Ex. 17:2.)

Psalm 106 



52i 



15 And he gave A 'them their request; but 
sent 'leanness into their soul. 

16 They envied Mo'ses also in the camp, 
and Aaron the saint of the "Lord. 

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Da'- 
than, and covered the company of A-bi'ram. 

18 And a fire was kindled in their company; 
the flame '"burned up the wicked. 

19 They "made a calf in Ho'reb, and wor- 
shipped the molten image. 

20 Thus "they changed their glory into the 
similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 

21 They 'forgat God their saviour', which 
had done great things in E'gypt; 

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, 
and terrible things by the Red sea. 

23 Therefore he said that he would destroy 
them, had not Mo'ses his chosen stood ^before 
him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, 
lest he should destroy them. 

24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, 
they believed not his word: 

25 But murmured in their tents, and heark- 
ened not unto the voice of the 2 Lord. 

26 Therefore he lifted up shis hand against 
them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: 

27 To overthrow their seed also among the 
nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 

28 They 'joined themselves also unto Ba'al- 
pe'or, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with 
their inventions: and the plague brake in upon 
them. 



4. The waters of Meribab. 



5. The first step in the sin of 
Moses — he allowed his meekness to 
give way to anger. 



30 Then stood up Phin'e-has, and executed 
judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 

31 And that s was counted unto him for 
righteousness unto all generations for ever- 
more. 

32 They angered him also at the waters of 
■"strife, 'so that it went ill with M6'se§ for 
their sakes: 

33 Because they provoked 5 his spirit, so that 
he "spake unadvisedly with his lips. 

34 They r did not destroy the nations, con- 
cerning "whom the 2 Lord commanded them: 

35 But were mingled among the heathen, 
and learned their works. 

36 And •'they served their idols: which were 
a snare unto thern. 

37 Yea, ^they sacrificed their sons and their 
daughters unto devils, 

38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood 
of their sons and of their daughters, whom 
they sacrificed unto the idols of Ca'naan: and 
-the land was polluted with blood. 

39 Thus were they ""defiled with their own 
works, and went a whoring with their own in- 
ventions. 

40 Therefore was the wrath 6b of the 2 Lord 
kindled against his people, insomuch that he 
abhorred his own inheritance. 

41 And cc he gave them into the hand of the 
heathen; and they that hated them ruled over 
them. 

42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and 
they were brought into subjection under their 
hand. 



k. So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their 
own desire. (Ps. 78:29.) And there went forth a wind from the Lord, 
and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as 
it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey 
on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high 
upon the face of the earth. (Num. 11:31.) 

1. Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat 
ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the 
burning of a fire. (Is. 10:16.) 

m. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, 
of the Jew first, and also the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) Their sorrows shall 
be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of 
blood will I not offer nor take up their names into my lips. (Ps. 16:4.) 
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 
13:21.) Many sorrows fehall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in 
the Lord, mercy shall compass about him. (Ps. 32:10.) For, lo, they 
that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that 
go a whoring from thee. (Ps. 73:27.) 

n. And he received them at their hand and fashioned it with a 
graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These 
be thv gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 
(Ex. 32:4.) 

o. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image 
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and 
creeping things. (Rom. 1:23.) 

p. And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth 
thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth 
out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? (11). 
And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his 
people. (Ex. 32:11, 14.) Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and 
forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he 
would destroy you (25). I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O 
Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast 
redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of 
Egypt with a mighty hand (26). Remember thy servants, Abraham, 
Isaac and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to 
their wickedness, nor to their sin (27). Lest the land whence thou 
broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into 
the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath 
brought them out to slay them in the wilderness (28). Yet they are thy 
people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty- 
power and by thy stretched out arm. (Dt. 9:25-29.) 

q. Unto whom I swear in my wrath that they should not enter into 
my rest. (Ps. 95:11.) For we which have believed do enter into rest, 
as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my 
rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 
(Heb. 4:3.) Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have 
spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you (28): Your carcasses shall fall 
in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your 
whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have mur- 
mured against me (29). Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, con- 
cerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of 
Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun (30.) But your little ones, which 
ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know 
the land which 3 r e have despised (31). But as for you, your carcasses, 
they shall fall in this wilderness (32). And your children shall wander 
in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your 
carcasses be wasted in the wilderness (33). After the number of the 
days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a 
year, shall ye bear your iniquity, even forty years, and ye shall know 
my breach of promise (34). I the Lord have said, I will surely do it 
unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: 
in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 
(Num. 14:28-35.) 

r. I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers 
as the first-ripe in the fig tree at her first time; but they went to 



Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abom- 
inations were according as they loved. (Hos. 9:10.) 

s. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for right- 
eousness. (Gen. 15:6.) For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed 
God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness (3). Cometh this bless- 
edness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? 
for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. (Rom. 
4:3, 9.) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him 
for righteousness. (Gal. 3:6.) Phinehas. the son- of Eleazar, the son 
of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of 
Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I con- 
sumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy (11). Wherefore say, 
Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace (12). And he shall have 
it and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priest- 
hood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for 
the children of Israel. (Num. 25:11-13.) 

t. Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou 
also shalt not go in thither. (Dt. 1:37.) 

u. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, 
the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 
(Js. 3:2.) 

v. And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites 
that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of 
Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. (Jud. 1:21.) 

w. And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou 
shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no cov- 
enant with them, nor show mercy unto them. (Dt. 7:2.) 

x. And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought 
them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of 
the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, 
and provoked the Lord to anger. (Jud. 2:12.) 

y. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomina- 
tion to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for 
even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their 
gods. (Dt. 12:31.) They sacrifice unto devils, not to God; to gods whom 
they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers 
feared not. (Dt. 32:17.) Moreover thou hast taken thy sons' and thy 
daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacri- 
ficed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small mat- 
ter (20), That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause 
them to pass through the fire for them? (Ez. 16:20, 21.) But I say, that 
the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not 
to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 
(I Cor. 10:20.) 

z. So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it 
defileth the land: and the land can not be cleansed of the blood that is 
shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. (Num. 35:33.) 

aa. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth 
from the heart: and they defile the man. (Mat. 15:18.) If any man 
defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God 
is holy, which temple ye are. (I Cor. 3:17.) For all that do these 
things are an abomination unto the Lord; and because of these abom- 
inations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. (Dt. 
18:12.) 

bb. When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel. 
(Ps. 78:59.) And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he 
delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he 
sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they 
could not any longer stand before their enemies. (Jud. 2:14.) 

cc. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel and he de- 
livered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold 
them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not 
any longer stand before their enemies. (Jud. 2:14.) Therefore thou de- 
liveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in 
the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest 
them, from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest

11 Because they rebelled against the words 
of God, and contemned ^the counsel of the 
most High: 

12 Therefore he brought down their heart 
with labour; they fell down, and there was 
''none to help. 

13 Then 'they cried unto the 2 Lord in their 
trouble, and he saved them out of their dis- 
tresses. 

14 -'He brought them out of darkness and 
the shadow of death, and *brake their bands 
in sunder. 

15 Oh that men would praise the 2 Lord for 
his goodness, and for his wonderful works to 
the children of men! 

16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, 
and cut the bars of iron in sunder. 

17 s Fools 'because of their transgression, 
and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; 
and they draw near unto the gates of death. 

19 Then they *cry unto the 2 Lord in their 
trouble, and he saveth them out of their dis- 
tresses. 

20 He '"'sent his word, and healed them, and 
delivered ''them from their destructions. 

21 Oh that men would praise the 2 Lord for 



them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. (Nek. 
9:27.) 

dd. See b, Ps. 70. 

ee. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have 
sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also 
served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) And when the children of Israel cried unto 
the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who 
delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 
(Jud. 3:9.) See Jud. 6:7-24. 

ff. And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have 
brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircum- 
cised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their 
iniquity (41): Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also 
my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I 
remember; and I will remember the land. (Lev. 26:41, 42.) He hath re- 
membered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a 
thousand generations. (Ps. 105:8.) 

gg. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion accord- 
ing to the multitude of his mercies. (Lam. 3:32.) For the Lord shall 
judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth 
that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) 
And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord 
your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great 
kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:13.) Thou hast for- 
saken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will I 
stretch cut my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with 
repenting. (Jer. 15:6.) 

hh. And I will show mercies unto you, that he may have mercy 
upon you, and cause you to return to your own land. (Jer. 42:12.) And 
forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their trans- 
gressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them 
compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have 
compassion on them. (I Ks. 8:50.) For if ye turn again unto the Lord, 
your brethrea and your children shall find compassion before them 
that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: 
for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away 
his face from you, if ye return unto him. (II Chr. 30:9.) For we were 
boudmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath 
extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a 
reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations 
thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. (Ezra 9:9.) 

Psalm 107. 

a. And he said- unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none 
good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the 
rommandments. (Mat. 19-17.) For the Lord is good; his mercy is ever- 
lasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (Ps. 100:5.) Praise 
ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 106:1.) 

b. Fear not: for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the 
cast, and gather thee from the west. (Is. 43:5.) When I have brought 
them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' 
lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations (27). Then 
shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be 

Into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto 
their own land, and have left none of them any more there. (Ez. 
39:27, 28.) 

C. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee and 
thou shalt glorify me. (Ps. 50:15.) Then they cried unto the Lord in 
(heir trouble, and be saved them out of their distresses (13). Then they 
cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their 
distresses (19). Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he 
" etl nit of their distresses. (Ps. 107:13, 19, 28.) 



d. See b, Ps. 70. 

e. That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, 
dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name? 
(Is. 63:12.) Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine 
enemies; make thy ways straight before my face. (Ps. 5:8.) Then I 
proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict our- 
selves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our 
little ones, and for all our substance. (Ezra 8:21.) 

f. See vs. 15, 21, 31. 

g. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. (Ps. 
119:24.) But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God 
against themselves, being not baptized of him. (Luke 7:30.) But ye have 
set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof. (Prov. 
1:25.) 

h. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he de- 
livered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold 
them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could 
not any longer stand before their enemies. (Jud. 2:14.) Be not far 
from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. (Ps. 22:11.) 

i. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have 
sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God and also 
served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) And they cried unto the Lord, and said. 
We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served 
Baalim and Ashtaruth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our ene- 
mies, and we will serve thee. (I Sam. 12:10.) Therefore thou deliveredst 
them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time 
of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from 
heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them 
saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. (Neh. 9:27.) 
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were 
not confounded. (Ps. 22:5.) Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, 
when he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) 

j. God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which 
are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. (Ps. 68:6.) 
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in 
the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying. 
Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. (Acts 12:7.) 

k. O Lord, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son 
of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. (Ps. 116:16.) For of old 
time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands: and thou saidst, I 
will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green 
tree tbou wanderest, playing the harlot. (Jer. 2:20.) For now will I 
break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. (Nah. 
1:13.) And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom 
Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on 
the sabbath day? (Luke 13:16.) 

1. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punish- 
ment of his sins? (Lam. 3:39.) Behold, it is written before me: I will 
not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom 
(6), Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith 
the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blas- 
phemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work 
into their bosom. (Is. 65:6, 7.) All thy lovers have forgotten thee: they 
seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, 
with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; 
because thy sins were increased (14). Why criest thou for thine af- 
fliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: 
because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. 
(Jer. 30:14, 15.) And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your 
shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep: but ye shall pine 
away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. (Ez. 24:23.)

22 And "let them sacrifice the sacrifices of 
thanksgiving, and declare his works with re- 
joicing. 

• 23 They that go down to the sea in ships, 
that do business in great waters; 

24 These see the works of the "Lord, and his 
wonders in the deep. 

25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the 
stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves 
thereof. 

26 They mount up to the heaven, they go 
down again to the depths: their soul is melted 
because of trouble. 

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a 
drunken man, and are at their wit's end. 

28 Then 'they cry unto the 2 Lord in their 
trouble, and he bringeth them out of their 
distresses. 

29 He "maketh the storm a calm, so that the 
waves thereof are still. 

30 Then are they glad because they be 
quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired 
haven. 

31 Oh that men would praise the 2 Lord for 
his goodness, and for his wonderful works to 
the children of men ! 

32 Let them exalt him also in the congrega- 
tion of the people, and praise him in the as- 
sembly of the elders. 

33 He ^turneth rivers into a wilderness, and 
the watersprings into dry ground; 

34 A ^fruitful land into barrenness, for 
the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 

35 He 'turneth the wilderness into a stand- 
ing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 

36 And there he maketh the hungry to 
' dwell, that they may prepare a city for hab- 
itation; 

37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, 
which may yield fruits of increase. 

38 He blesseth them also, so that they are 
multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cat- 
tle to decrease. 

39 Again, they 'are s minished and brought 
low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 

40 He 'poureth contempt upon princes, and 
causeth them to wander in the wilderness, 
where there is no way. 

41 Yet "setteth he the poor on high from 
affliction, and maketh him families like a 
flock.

Psalm 109. 



1. This Ps. has been called the 
"Imprecatory Psalm." Many people 
have experienced much trouble iu 
reading it because of failing to rec- 
ognize in the execrated Doeg the 
prophetic, foreshadowing of Judas Is- 
eariot and failing to see, also, that 
when speaking of his persecutors, 
David speaks in the person of Christ. 
In no sense should it be accepted as 
an expression of personal revenge on 
the part of David. 



42 The ''righteous shall see it, and rejoice : 
and all "iniquity shall stop her mouth.

mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: 
they have spoken a against me with a lying 
tongue. 

3 They compassed me about also ivith words 



I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the 
word only, and my servant shall be healed. (Mat. 8:8.) 

n. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call 
upon the name of the Lord. (Ps. 116:17.) By him therefore let us offer 
the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips 
giving thanks to his name. (Heb. 13:15.) 

o. Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, 
thou stillest them. (Ps. 89:9.) And he saith unto them, Why are ye 
fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and 
the sea; and there was a great calm. (Mat. 8:26.) 

p. And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, 
said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, 
(here shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 
(I Ks. 17:1.) 

q. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, 
that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom 
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, 
as thou comest unto Znar. (Gen. 13:10.) And he overthrew those cities, 
and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which 
grew upon the ground. (Gen. 19:25.) 

r. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of 
ohe valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry 
:and springs of water. (Is. 41:18.) 

s. In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short: and Hazael 
smote them in all the coasts of Israel. (II Ks. 10:32.) Wherefore, as I 
live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary 
with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, there- 
fore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eyes spare, neither 
will I have any pity. (Ez. 5:11.) It shall be the basest of the king- 
doms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I 
will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations (Ez 
29:15.) 

t. He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength 
of the mighty. (Job 12:21.) 

u. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar 
from the dung hill, to set them among princes, and to make them in- 
herit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, 
and he hath set the world upon them. (I Sam. 2:8.) Deliver me from 
mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. 



(Ps. 59:1.) He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy- 
out of the dung hill (7). That he may set him with princes, even with 
the princes of his people. (Ps. 113:7, 8.)

be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of 
blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. (Ps. 16:4.) 
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 
13:21.) Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in 
the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) For, lo, they 
that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that 
go a whoring from thee. (Ps. 73:27.)

he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just 
shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. (Hos. 14:9.)

a. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give 
praise (7). Awake up, my glory: awake, psaltery and harp: I myself 
will awake early (8): I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people; 
I will sing unto thee among the nations (9): For thy mercy is great 
unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds (10). Be thou exalted, 
O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. (Ps. 
57:7-11.) 

h. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth 
endureth to all generations. (Ps. 100:5.) Hear me when I call, O God 
of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was- in distress; 
have mercy upon me and hear my prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Hear me, O Lord: 
for thy loving-kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude 
of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 69:16.) And he remembered for them his 
covenant and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 
106:45.) Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful. (Luke

b. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is

not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let 
:hem wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. (Ps. 35:19.) 

c. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his 
prayer shall be abomination. (Prov. 28:9.) 

d. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be 
desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another 
take. (Acts 1:20.) 

e. And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; 
and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. (Ex. 
22:24.) 

f. For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they 
are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. (Ps. 
37:28.) 

g. The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked 
shall rot. (Prov. 10:7.) Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast de- 
stroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever (5). 

thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast 
destroyed cities: their memorial is perished with them. (Ps. 9:5, 6.) 

h. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for 

1 the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers 
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that 
hate me. (Ex. 2":5. ) The Lord is long-suffering, and of great mercy. 
forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the 
guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the 
third and fourth generation. (Num. 14:18.) Behold, it is written before 
me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into 
their bosom (6). Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers to- 
gether, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, 
rnd blasphemed me upon the hill: therefore will I measure their former 
work into their bosom. (1 Thou showest loving-kindness unto 
thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom 

'•\T children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of 
hosts, is his name. (Jer. 32:18.) 

i. And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out 
from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the 
builders. (Neh. 4:5.) Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their counsel against

from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with 
them in the time of thine anger. (Jer. 18:23.)

am the Lord. (Ez. 7:27.)

fliction, and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.

c. Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear 
the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a

both. (Zech. 6:13.) As he saith also in another place, Thou art a

sore displeasure. (Ps. 2:5.) But after thy hardness and impenitent 
heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and 
revelation of the righteous judgment of God. (Rom. 2:5.) For the great 
day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Rev. 6:17.)

wakened, and come up to the valley of Johoshaphat: for there will I sit

h. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony 
of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. (Ps. 19:7.) Thy testimonies 
are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever. (Ps.

dom. (Prov. 9:10.) Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. (Job

which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with 
thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the 
earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Dt. 4:40.) If thou wilt not 
hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his 
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day; that 
all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) 
That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and 
his commandments which I command thee. (Dt. 6:2.) 

Psalm 112. 

a. Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his 
ways. (Ps. 128:1.) 

b. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth 
he meditate day and night. (Ps. 1:2.) I have rejoiced in the way of thy 
testimonies, as much as in all riches. (Ps. 119:14.) 

c. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) And I have also 
given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honor: so 
that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 
(I Ks. 3:13.) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that 
seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. (Ps. 34:10.) But rather 
seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto 
you. (Lu. 12:31.) But bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is 
profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and 
of that which is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

d. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for 
nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the 
children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the 
evil. (Luke 6:35.) And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay 
with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, 
or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. (Lev. 25:35.) 

e. He that putteth not out his money to usury nor taketh reward 
against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. 
(Ps.-15:5.) Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: 
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (Ps. 55:22.) 

f. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be 
quiet from fear of evil. (Prov. 1:33.) 

g. (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad: he hath given to the 
poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.) (II Cor. 9:9.) 

h. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see 
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of 
God, and you yourselves thrust out. (Luke 13:28.) Tribulation and 
anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and 
also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) Their sorrows shall be multiplied that 
hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, 
nor take up their names into my lips. (Ps. 16:4.) Evil pursueth sinners; 
but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 13:21.) Many sor- 
rows shall be to the wicked: but he that trust eth in the Lord, mercy 
shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) For, lo, they that are far from 
thee shall perish : thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from 
thee. (Ps. 73:27.)

his glory above the heavens. 

5 Who is like unto the 2 Lord our God, who 
dwelleth on high, 

6 Who humbleth himself to behold the 
things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

with the princes of his people. 

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep

'PSALM 114. 
An exhortation to fear God in his church. 

1 When is'ra-el went out of E'gypt, the 
house of Ja'cob from a people of strange lan- 
guage; 

2 Ju'dah was his sanctuary, and Is'ra-el his 
dominion. 

3 The sea saw it, and fled: a Jor'dan was 
driven back. 

4 The ^mountains 2 skipped like rams, and

Psalm 113. 

a. The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them 
that trust in him shall be desolate. (Ps. 34:22.) The seed also of his 
servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell there- 
in. (Ps. 69:36.) Where is their God? let him be known among the 
heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which 
is shed. (Ps. 79:10.) 

b. Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and 
might are his. (Dan. 2:20.) My mouth shall speak the praise of the 
Lord; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. (Ps. 
145:21.) 

c. The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken and called the earth, 
from the rising of the sun and to the going down thereof. (Ps. 50:1.) 
From, the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same, my 
name shall be great among the Gentiles. (Mai. 1:11.) 

d. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar

Psalm 114. 

a. And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the 
priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall 
rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off 
from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon 
an heap (13). That the waters which came down from above stood and 
rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zare- 
tan. (Josh. 3:13, 16.) 

b. He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld and drove asunder 
the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the per- 
petual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting. (Hab. 3:6.) Then the 
earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and 
were shaken because he was wroth. (Ps. 18:7.) And mount Siani was 
altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and 
the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole 
mount quaked greatly. (Ex. 19:18.) 

c. And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock 
twice; and the water came out abundantly; and the congregation drank, 
and their beasts also. (Num. 20:11.) He turneth the wilderness into a 
standing water, and dry ground into water-springs. (Ps. 107:35.)

water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint. (Dt.

Psalm 116. 

a. For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how 
should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another. 
(Is. 48:11.) I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine 
holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither 
ye went. (Ez. 36:22.) Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name, 
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Ps. 29:2.) Give unto the 
Lord the glory due unto his name. (Ps. 96:8.) 

b. My tears have been my meat day and night, while they con- 
Hnually r,ny unto me, Where is thy God? (Ps. 42:3.). Let the priests, 



the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let 
them say. Spare thy people O Lord, and give not thine heritage to re- 
proach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they 
say among the people, Where is their God? (Joel 2:17.) 

c. For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the 
heavens. (I Chr. 16:26.) At the same time my reason returned unto me; 
and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honor and brightness returned 
unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me: and I was 
established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. 
(Dan. 4:36.) What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof 
hath graven it, the molten image and a teacher of lies, that the 
maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? (18). Woe unto 
him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall 
teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no 
breath at all in the midst of it (19). But the Lord is in his holy tem- 
ple: let all the earth keep silence before him. (Hab. 2:18-20.) 

d. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree 
out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workmen with the ax. 
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and 
with hammers that it move not. (Jer. 10:3, 4.) The idols of the heathen 
are silver and gold, the work of men's hands (15). They have mouths 
but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not (16); They have 
ears but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. (Ps. 
135:15-17.) 

e. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their 
delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they 
see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. (Is. 44:9.) They that 
observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. (Jon. 2:8.) 

f. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content 
with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee 
not forsake thee (5). So that we may boldly say. The Lord is my helper, 
and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:5, 6.) I have 
trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. (Ps. 26:1.) I have 
hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. (Ps. 
31:6.) In God I will praise his word: in God I have put my trust; 
I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Ps. 56:4.) In thee, O Lord, 
do I put my crust: let me never be put to confusion (1). Deliver me in 
thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me and 
save me (2). Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually 
resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock 
and my fortress. (Ps. 71:1-3.) He is my refuge and my fortress: my 
God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) In the Lord put I my trust. (Ps. 
11:1.) O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that 
trusteth in him. (Ps. 34:8.) Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. 
(Ps. 84:12.) Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose 
hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) 

g. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. 
(Ps. 33:20.) Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that 
put their trust in him. (Prov. 30:5.) 

h. See f, Ps. 60. 

i. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath 
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. (Eph. 
1:3.) 

j. A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, 
which I command you this day. (Dt. 11:27.) Blessings are upon the 
head of the just. (Prov. 10:6.)

death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from

of the living.

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name 
of the Lord; praise him, ye servants of the 
Lord. 

2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, 
in the courts of the house of our God, 

3 Praise the Lord; for the a Lord is good: 
sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 

4 For the Lord 6 hath chosen Ja'cob unto 
himself, and Is'ra--el for his peculiar treasure. 

5 For I know that the c Lord is great, and 
that our Lord is above all gods. 

6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he 
in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all 
deep places. 

7 He ( 'causeth the vapours to ascend from 
the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings 
for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his 
treasuries. 

8 Who p smote the firstborn of E'gypt, both 
of man and beast. 

9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the 
midst of thee, E'gypt, upon Pha'raoh, and 
upon all his servants. 

10 Who smote great nations, and slew 
mighty kings; 

11 Si'hon king of the Am'or-ites, and Og 
king of Ba'shan, and all the kingdoms of Ca'- 
naan: 

12 And gave their land for an heritage, an 
heritage unto Is'ra-el his people. 

13 Thy 'name, Lord, endureth for ever; 
and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all gen- 
erations.' 

14 For the Lord *>will judge his people, and 
he will 2 repent himself concerning his serv- 
ants. 

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and 
gold, the work of men's hands. 

18 They have mouths, but they speak not; 
eyes have they, but they see not; 

17 They have ears, but they hear not; nei- 
ther is there any breath in their mouths. 

18 They that make them are like unto them: 
so is every one that trusteth in them. 

19 Bless the Lord, house of is'ra-el: bless 
the Lord, O house of Aar'on : 

20 Bless the Lord, house of Le'vi: ye that 
fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

dwelleth at Je-ru/sa-lem. Praise ye the Lord.

wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing

strange land? 

5 If I forget thee, Je-ru'sa-lem, let my 
right hand forget her cunning. 

6 If I do not remember thee, let my 6 tongue 
cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer 
not Je-ru'sa-lem above my chief joy.

3 Thou 3 compassest my path and my lying 
down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, 
lo, "Lord, 6 thou knowest it altogether. 

5 Thou hast 4 beset me behind and before, 
and laid thine hand upon me.

whither shall I flee from thy presence? 

8 If I ascend up into °heaven, thou art 
there: c if I make my bed in "hell, behold, thou 
art there. 

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and 
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and

hast covered me in my mother's womb. 

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully 
and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy 
works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 

15 My substance was not hid from thee, 
when I was made in secret, and curiously 
wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet 
being unperfect; and in thy book all my mem- 
bers were written, which in continuance were 
fashioned, when as yet there was none of 
them. 

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto 
me, God! how great is the sum of them! 

18 If I should count them, they are more in 
number than the sand: when I awake, I am 
still with thee.

depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

thee? and am not I grieved with those that 
rise up against thee?

them mine enemies.

TSALM 140. 
1 David prayeth to be delivered from Saul 
and Doeg. 12 He comforteth himself by 
confidence in God. 
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Da'vid. 

1 Deliver a me, "Lord, from the evil 'man: 
preserve me from the violent man; 

2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; 
continually are they gathered together for war. 

3 They have sharpened their tongues like 
a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. 
Se'lah. 

4 Keep me, O 2 Lord, from the hands of the 
wicked; preserve me from the Violent man; 
who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 

5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and 
cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; 
they have set gins for me. Se'lah. 

6 I said unto the 2 Lord, 6 Thou art my God: 
hear the voice of my supplications, "Lord. 

7 God the "Lord, the ^strength of my sal- 
vation, thou hast covered my head in the day 
of battle. 

8 Grant not, Tjord, ^the desires of the 
wicked: further not his wicked device; lest 
they exalt themselves. Se'lah. 

9 As for the head of those that compass me 
about, let the mischief of their own lips cover 
them. 

10 e Let burning coals fall upon them: let 
them be cast into the fire; irtto deep pits, that 
they rise not up again. 

11 Let not an evil speaker be established in 
the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man and 
overthrow him. 

12 I know that the 2 Lord will /maintain the 
cause of the afflicted, and the right of the 
poor. 

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks 
unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy 
presence.

calamities.

supplication. 

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I 
shewed before him my trouble. 

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within 
me, then thou knewest my path. In the way 
wherein I walked have they privily laid a 
snare for me. 

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, 
but there was no man that would know me: 
6 refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. 

5 I cried unto thee, O 2 Lord: I said, Thou 
art 'my refuge and my portion in the land of 
the living. 

6 Attend unto °my cry; for I am c brought 
very low: deliver 'me from my persecutors; 
for they are stronger than I.

praise thy name: the righteous P shall compass 
me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully 
with me.

strength in the time of trouble. (Ps. 37:39.)

e. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an 
horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. (Ps. 11:6.)

that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. (Prov. 13:3.) Whoso 
kecneth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. (Prov. 
21:23.) 



b. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For 
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray,

them that persecute me, and deliver me. (Ps. 7:1.) Let your conversa- 
tion be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye 
have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, never forsake thee (5). 
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear 
what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:5, 6.) I will say of the Lord, He is 
my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.)

whom h I trust; who subdueth my people un- 
der me. 

3 2 Lord, c what is man, that thou takest

stood before him: the iudgment was set, and the books were opened.

heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that 
I have builded? (I Ks. 8:27.) 

c. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the 
word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things 
which do appear. (Heb. 11:3.) 

d. Thus saith the Lord: If thy covenant be not with day and night, 
and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth (25): 
Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that 
I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, 
Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have 
mercy on them. (Jer. 33:25, 26.)

rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee 
with singing. (Zeph. 3:17.) 

b. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall over- 
come them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that 
are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Rev. 17:14.) And 
they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vine- 
yards: yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed 
judgment upon all those that despise them round about them; and they 
shall know that I am the Lord their God. (Ez. 28:26.)

THE PROVERBS 



NOTE. — The Eook of Proverbs is pronounced by most Biblical scholars to be one of the greatest handbooks on right living ever published. It is pre- 
eminently an ideal educational book, teaching the whole duty of man. It declares that no one can be truly wise who is so utterly unwise as to disobey 
Hod or be ignorant of his rules of government of the universe or of man. In its teaching is given a complete outline of a perfect man. Nowhere is 
prououuced in more positive terms the folly of one's endeavoring to live contrary to the dictates of right; therefore to measure up to the perfect standard 
of a man. one must be obedient to the principles of righteousness. It condemns in the strongest language possible idleness, enviousness, drunkenness and 
strife; and commends at all times the true spirit of industry, frugality, chastity, temperance and integrity. Therefore it would teach as a second principle of 
the perfect man, both parts of the fourth commandment. Nowhere in all the range of literature or among the experiences of unfortunate man has there 
been pronounced such a withering condemnation upon the wiles and cunning of the woman who forgets the covenant of her God and whose house is the way 
of hell. As a third principle in the life of the perfect man. Prov. would command virtue and temperance in all things. In it is taught the measure of 
honor due from man to God, his Creator, filial devotion, respect to relatives, and the guiding principles of honesty and uprightness between man and man. 
In the Book of Psalms are first of all, lessons teaching holiness of the heart. In Prov. an honest, godly, frugal and industrious life is urged. Coleridge 
says. "The Book of Prov. is the best statesman's manual which was ever written. An adherence to the political economy and spirit of that collection of 
ajiothegms and essays would do more to eradicate from the people the causes of extravagance, debasement and ruin than all the contributions to political 
economy of all other writers together." In Prov. every duty in life is enjoined and skillfully commended to our observance, and every vice and species of 
folly is guarded against.

tice, and judgment, and equity; 

4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the

nocent without cause:

grave; and whole, a's those that go down into

15 My son, Pwalk not thou in the way with 
them; refrain thy foot from their path: 

16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste 
to shed blood. 

17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the 
sight of any bird. 

18 And they lay wait for their own blood; 
they lurk privily for their own lives. 

19 ''So are the ways of every one that is 
greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of 
the owners thereof. 

20 H 13 Wisdom 'crieth without ; she uttereth 
her voice in the streets: 

21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, 
in the openings of the gates: in the city she 
uttereth her words, saying, 

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love 
simplicity? and the scorners delight in their 
scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 

23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, ^'1 will 
pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known 
my words unto you. 

24 1! Because /i *I have called, and ye refused; 
I have stretched out my hand, and no man re- 
garded; 

25 But ye 'have set at nought all my coun- 
sel, and would none of my reproof: 

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will 
mock when your fear cometh; 

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, 
and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;, 
when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 

28 "'Then shall they call upon me, but I 
will not answer; they shall seek me early, but 
they shall not find me: 

29 For that they "hated knowledge, and did 
not choose the "fear "of the Lord:

the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. (Zech.

but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at

fear of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

p. But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would 
none of me. (Ps. 81:11.) See v. 25. 

q. Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity and sow wickedness, 
reap the same. (Job 4:8.) The backslider in heart shall be filled with 
his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. (Prov. 
14:14.) He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his 
anger shall fail. (Prov. 22:8.) Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with 
him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) 

r. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt 
lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet (24). Be not afraid of sudden 
fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh (25). For 
the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being 
taken. (Prov. 3:24-26.) What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall 
he teach in the way that he shall choose (12). His soul shall dwell at 
ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. (Ps. 25:12, 13.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; 
the which w : hen a man hath found, he hideth, and for jov thereof goeth 
and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. (Mat. 13:44.) For 
the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the 
gain thereof than fine gold. (Prov. 3:14.) 

b. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools 
despise wisdom and instruction. (Prov. 1:7.) And unto man he said. 
Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil 
is understanding. (Job 28:28.) 

c. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy 
people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to 
judge this thy so great a people? (I Ks. 3:9.) If any of you lack wis- 
dom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraid- 
eth not; and it shall be given him. (Ja. 1:5.) 

d. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace 
and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk up- 
rightly. (Ps. Si : iij Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto 
them that put their trust in him. (Prov. 30:5.) 

e. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be 
silent in darkness: for by strength shall no man prevail. (I Sam. 2:9.) 
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 
(Ps. 86:9.) 

f. When thou goest, it shall lead thee: when thou sleepest, it shall 
keep thee: and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. (Prov. 6:22 . i 

g. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh 
wisely, he shall be delivered. (Prov. 28:26.) 

h. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, 
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were 
evil. (Jno. 3:19.) Having the understanding darkened, being alienated 
from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of 
the blindness of their heart. (Eph. 4:18:) 

1. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what 



they stumble. (Prov. 4:19.) They know not, neither will they under- 
stand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are 
out of course. (Ps. S2:5.) And this is the condemnation, that light is 
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because 
their deeds were evil (19). For every one that doeth evil hateth the 
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 
(Jno. 3:19, 20.) 

j. Therefore snail a man leave his father and his mother, and shall 
cleave unto his wife: and they shall_be one flesh. (Gen. 2:24.) 

k. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of 
death. (Prov. 7:27.) 

1. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith 
and patience inherit the promises. (Heb. 6:12.) 

m. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth 
more and more unto the perfect day. (Prov. 4:18.) 

n. The righteous shall never be removed: hut the wicked shall not 
inhabit the earth. (Prov. 10:30.) For evil doers shall be cut off: but 
those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth (9). The 
righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. (Ps. 37:9. 29. i 
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked 
shall be cut off. (Ps. 37:38.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for 
the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall 
find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. 
(Jer. 6:16.) 

b. Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be Ic 
them that devise good. (Prov. 14:22.) Whereas thou earnest but yester- 
day, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? Seeing I 
go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and 
truth be with thee. (II Sam. 15:20.) 

c. Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of 
Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of 
the living God: not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 
(II Cor. 3:3.) The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with 
the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and 
upon the horns of your altars. (Jer. 17:1.) Bind them upon thy fingers, 
write them upon the table of thine heart. (Prov. 7:3.) 

d. Judge me, O Lord: for I have walked in mine integrity: I have 
trusted also in the Lord: therefore I shall not slide. (Ps. 26:1.) I hive 
hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. (Ps. 
31:6.) In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust: I will 
not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Ps. 56:4.) In thee. O Lord, do I 
put my trust: let me never be put to confusion (1). Deliver me in thy 
righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and 
save me (2). Be thou my strong, habitation, whereunto I may con- 
tinually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou 
art my rock and my fortress. (Ps. 71:1-3.) I will say of the Lord. He 
is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) 
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth 
in him. (Ps. 34:8.) O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth 
in thee. (Ps. S4:12.) Blessed is tbe man that trusteth in the Lord, and 
whose hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.)

CHAPTER 4. 

1 Solomon, to persuade obedience, 3 sheweth 
what instruction he had of his parents, 5 to 
study wisdom, 14 and to shun the path of 
the wicked. 23 He exhorteth to faith, 23 
and sanctification. 

1 'Hear, ye children, the instruction of a 
father, and attend to know understanding. 

2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye 
not my law. 

3 For I was my father's son, tender and 
only beloved in the. sight of my mother. 

4 2 He a taught me also, and said unto me, 
Let thine heart retain my words: keep my 
commandments, and live. 

5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it 
not; neither 3 decline from the words of my 
mouth. 

6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve 
thee: J love her, and she shall keep thee. 



e. Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, 
neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man 
glory in his riches. (Jer. 9:23.) 

f. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing in prayer and sup- 
plication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 
(Phil. 4:6.) 

g. O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not 
in man that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) I have raised him 
up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my 
city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith 
the Lord of hosts. (Is. 45:13.) 

h. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, 
but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own con- 
ceits. (Rom. 12:16.) 

i. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and 
the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. (Prov. 8:13.) By mercy 
and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart 
from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) There was a man in the land of Uz, whose 
name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that 
feared God, and eschewed evil. (Job 1:1.) And unto man he said, Be- 
hold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is 
understanding. (Job 28:28.) 

j. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be 
meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, 
if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a 
blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. (Mai. 3:10.) 
The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of 
the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe the kid in his mother's milk. 
(Ex. 23:19.) That thou shalt take of the first of ali the fruit of the earth, 
which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, 
and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord 
thy God shall choose to place his name there. (Dt. 26:2.) 

k. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; therefore despise 
not the chastening of the Almighty. (Job 5:17.) Blessed is the man 
whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; (Ps. 
94:12.) And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you 
as unto children. My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, 
nor faint when thou art rebuked of him (5): For whom the Lord loveth 
he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (Heb. 
12:5, 6.) 

1. Receive my instruction-- and not silver; and knowledge rather than 
choice gold (10). My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and 
my revenue than choice silver. (Prov. 8:10, 19.) How much better is it 
to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen 
than silver! (Prov. 16:16.) It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall 
silver be weighed for the price thereof (15). It cannot be valued with 
the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx or the sapphire (16). The gold 



and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be fof 
jewels of fine gold (17). No mention shall be made of coral, or of 
pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies (18). The topaz of 
Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold, 
(Job 28:15-19.) 

m. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be 
desired are not to be compared to it. (Prov. 8:11.) No mention shall be 
made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 
(Job. 28:18.) 

n. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto 
all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which 
is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

o. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and 
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Mat. 11:29.) 

p. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is 
due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom hon- 
or. (Rom. 13:7.) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto 
all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Gal. 
6:10.) 

q. Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he 
soweth discord. (Prov. 6:14.) Do they not err that devise evil? but 
mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. (Prov. 14:22.) 

r. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all 
men. (Rom. 12:18.) 

s. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give 
glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse 
upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them al- 
ready, because ye do not lay it to heart. (Mai. 2:2.) 

t. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that 
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and 
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:3.) 

u. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the 
proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (Ja. 4:6.) Likewise, ye young- 
er, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to 
another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and 
giveth grace to the humble. (I Pet. 5:5.) 

v. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, 
some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 
(Dan. 12:2.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind: for the 
Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the 
thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake 
him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) 

b. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that per- 
ish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be 
saved. (II Thes. 2:10.)

d. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy

now the Lord saith, Be it far from me: for them that honor me I will

e. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill can- 
not be hid. (Mat. 5:14.) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the 
sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse na- 
tion, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. (Phil. 2:15.) 

f. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent 
in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. (I Sam. 2:9.) Then 
Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk 
while ye have the light, lest the darkness come upon you: for he that 
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. (Jno. 12:35.) 

g. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things'? 
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (Mat. 12:34.) 
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the 
heart; and they defile the man (IS). For out of the heart proceed evil 
thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blas- 
phemies. (Mat. 15:18, 19.) For from within, out of the heart of men, 
proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, (Mk. 7:21.) A 
good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that 
which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart 
bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his 
mouth speaketh. (Luke 6:45.) 

h. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but 
that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace

(Dt. 5:32.) And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which 
I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after 
other gods to serve them. (Dt. 28:14.) Only be thou strong and very 



courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, 
which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right 
hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 
(Josh. 1:7.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than 
any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and 
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts 
and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12.)

mongers and adulterers, God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

c. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness 
between thee and* the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt 
treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 
(Mai. 2:14.) 

d. Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which 
feed among the lilies. (Song 4:5.) 

e. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole 
earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is per- 
fect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from hence- 
forth thou shalt have wars. (II Chr. 16:9.) Doth not he see my ways, 
and count all my steps? (Job 31:4.) For his eyes are upon the ways of 
man, and he seeth all his goings. (Job 34:21.) Great in counsel, and 
mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons 
of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the 
fruit of his doings. (Jer. 32:19.) And they consider not in their hearts 
that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset 
them about: they are before my face. (Hos. 7:2.) Neither is there any 
creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and 
opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

f. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the 
net which they hid is their own foot taken. (Ps. 9:15.) 

g. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, 
even without wisdom. (Job 4:21.) But if they obey not, they shall perish 
by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. (Job 36:12.)

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber 
to thine eyelids. 

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of 
the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the

8 Provideth 4 her meat in the summer, and 
gathereth her food in the harvest. 

9 How long wilt thou sleep, sluggard? 
when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 

10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little 
folding of the hands to sleep:

mischief continually; he soweth discord. 

15 Therefore shall his calamity come sud-

remedy. 

16 IrThese six things doth the Lord hate: 
yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 

17 A proud look, d a lying tongue, and hands 
f that shed innocent blood, 

18 An fheart that deviseth wicked imagina-

ly extraordinary statements, if cor- 
rect. However, Mr. E. R. Leland. ill 
the Popular Science Monthly, gives 
the observations of Mr. Trahearne 
Moggridge throughout southern Eu- 
rope, proving conclusively that ants 
have been found which lay by a store 
of supplies for winter. Again Dr. 
Darwin asserts that large brownish 
ants called agricultural ants (atta 
male faciens) dwelt in caved cities, 
and like thrifty farmers, they culti- 
vate certain grasses and grains if 
they do not otherwise find it. cut it, 
thrash it. season it. and store it away 
in bins for winter use; and further, 
if any of it happens to get damp they 
will carry it out, sun- it, stir it and 
dry it. then return it to its bin; 
thus far surpassing anything that Sol- 
omon ever wrote concerning the ant. 
"Solomon's statement concerning the 
ant has afforded one of the stock 
arguments against the truth of scrip- 
ture, and yet we have his statements 
not only corroborated to the very 
letter by those who have visited Pal- 
estine for the express purpose of in- 
vestigating its zoology, but far sur- 
passed by the observations of a scien- 
tific man (of the United States) who 
had watched the insects for a series

6, i. e. exhortation to filial obedience 
and thf cultivation of wisdom and 
the walking in paths of purity.

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and 
his clothes not be burned? 

28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's 
wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be in- 
nocent. 

30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal 
to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 

31 But if he be found, /i 'he shall restore 
sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of 
his house. 

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a 
woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth 
it destroyeth 'his own soul. 

33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and 
his reproach shall not be wiped away. 

34 For jealousy "'is the rage of a man : 
therefore he will not spare in the day of ven- 
geance. 

35 He will not regard any ransom; neither 
will he rest content, though thou givest many 
gifts. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Solomon persuadeth to a sincere and kind 
familiarity with wisdom. 6 In an example 
of his own experience, he sheweth 10 the 
cunning of an whore, 22 and the desperate 
simplicity of a young wanton. 24 He exhort- 
eth from such wickedness. 

1 a My son, keep my words, and "lay up my 
commandments with thee.

a. But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls 
of the air, and they shall tell thee. (Job 12:7.) 

b. Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! 
when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power 
of their hand. (Mic. 2:1.) Devise not evil against thy neighbor, seeing 
he dwelleth securely by thee. (Prov. 3:29.) 

e. And shalt say unto them. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Even so 
wHl I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, 
that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, 
till there be no place to bury. (Jer. 19:11.) 

d. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful 
tongue. (Ps. 120:2.) 

e. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes 
from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands 
are full of blood. (Is. 1:15.) 

f. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, 
anc that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil 
continually. (Gen, 6:5.) 

g. Their feet are swift to shed blood. (Rem. 3:15.) 

h. Children obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. (Eph. 
0:1.) 

i. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the com- 
mandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. (Ps. 19:8.) 

j. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust 
after her hath cemmitted adultery with her already in his heart. (Mat 
5:28.) 

k. If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he 
shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. (Ex. 22:1.) 

1. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out 
all mine increase. (Job 31:12.) Marriage is honorable in all, and the 
bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 
13:4.) 



m. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able io 
stand before envy? (Prov. 27:4.) Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as 
a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death: jealousy is cruel as 
the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehe- 
ment flame. (Song S. 8:6.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which 
if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord. (Lev. 18:5.) Incline 
your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will 
make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 
(Is. 55:3.) 

b. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes 
and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel: be 
strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. (I Chr. 22:13.) 
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments. 
(Prov. 3:1.) Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest 
observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant com- 
manded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that 
thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7.) Thou shalt 
keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command 
thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after 
thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy'days upon the earth, which the 
Lord thy God givest thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) 

c. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they 
shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. (Dt. 6:8.) 

d. For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are 
sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do 
evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. (Jer. 4:22.) 

e. And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house 
to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busy bodies, speaking 
things which they ought not. , (I Tim. 5:13.) To be discreet, chaste, 
keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the ward 
of God be not blasphemed. (Tit. 2:5.)

for the acquisition of wisdom as 
personified under the character of a 
pure, lovely, affectionate woman; sin- 
cere in all of her affections and al-

ciates.

7. Ys. 32-36 detail the blessings 
resulting from observing wisdom's in- 
structions, and a warning to those 
who heed not her teachings. Their 
conduct will bring their destruction, 
hence they are represented as loving 
death, because they love the things 
which bring death.

eth, and right to them that find knowledge. 

10 Receive my 'instruction, and not silver;

13 c The "fear of the Lord is to hate evil: 
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and 
; the froward mouth, do I hate. 

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I 
am understanding; si have strength. 

15 7l By me kings reign, and princes decree 
justice. 

16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all 
the judges of the earth. 

17 ! T love them that love me; and -'those

18 Riches A 'and honour are with me; yea, 
durable riches and righteousness. 

19 'My fruit is better than gold, yea, than 
'fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 

20 I "'lead in the way of righteousness, in 
the midst of the paths of judgment: 

21 That I may cause those that love me to 
inherit substance; and I will fill their D treas- 
ures. 

22 The "Lord possessed me in the beginning 
of his way, before his works of old. 

23 I was set up from ''everlasting, from the 
beginning, or ever the earth was. 

24 When there were no depths, I was 
brought forth; when there were no fountains 
abounding with water. 

25 Before the mountains were settled, before 
the hills was I brought forth: 

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, 
nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust 
of the world. 

27 When he prepared the heavens, I was 
there: when he set a compass upon the face of 
the depth: 

28 When he established the clouds above: 
when he strengthened the fountains of the 
deep: 

29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that 
the waters should not pass his commandment : 
when he appointed the foundations of the 
earth : 

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up 
with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoic- 
ing always before him; 

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his 
earth; and my delights were with the sons of 
men. 

32 7 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye 
children: for blessed are they that keep my 
ways. 

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and re- 
fuse it not. 



f. Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among 
many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, 
and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did out- 
landish women cause to sin. (Neh. 13:26.) 

Chapter S. 

a. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets (20): 
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: 
in the city, she uttereth her words. (Prov. 1:20, 21.) 

b. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of my- 
self, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I 
go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. (Jno. 8:14.) 
Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the 
truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. (Rom. 15 :S. ) 

c. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, 
and the gain thereof than fine gold (14). She is more precious than 
rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto 
her. i Prov. 3:11. 15.) 

d. Xo mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price 
of wisdom is above rubies. (Job 28:18.) 

e. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the 
Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 1C:G.) Be not wise in thine own eyes: 
fear the Lord, and depart from evil. (Prov. 3:7.) 

t. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far 
from thee. (Prov. 4:24.) 

g. Wisdom strengthened the wise more than ten mighty men which 
are in the city. (Ecc. 7:19.) 



h. And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, 
and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise: and knowledge 
to them that know understanding. (Dan. 2:21.) And Jesus came and 
spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in 
earth. (Mat. 2S:18.) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 
For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of 
God. (Rom. 13:1.) 

i. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy 
house and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but 
now the Lord saith, Be it far from me: for them that honor me I will 
honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. (I Sam. 
2:30.) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that 
loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will 
love him, and will manifest myself to him. (Jno. 14:21.) 

j. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all 
men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (Ja. 1:5.) 

k. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) 

1. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for 
the price thereof. (Job 28:15.) 

m. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed 
them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall 
wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev. 7:17.) 

n. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth: by understanding 
hath he established the heavens. (Prov. 3:19.) In the beginning was 
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (Jno.

3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she 
crieth upon the highest places of the city, 

4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:

saith to him, 

5 Come, "eat of my bread, and drink of the 
wine which I have mingled. 

6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in

7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to 
himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked 
man getteth himself a blot. 

8 Reprove not 6 a scorner, lest he hate thee: 
rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he 
will yet be wiser: teach a just man, and he will 
increase in learning. 

10 The ; fear °of the Lord is the beginning 
of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is 
understanding. 

11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, 
and the years of thy life shall be increased. 

12 ''If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for 
thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt 
bear it. 

13 1 3 A foolish woman is clamorous : she is 
simple, and knoweth nothing. 

14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, 
on a seat in the high places of the city, 

15 To call passengers who go right on their 
ways : 

16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: 
and as for him that wanteth understanding,

CHAPTER 10. 
From this chapter to the five and twentieth 
are sundry observations of moral virtues, 
and their contrary vices. 

1 'The proverbs of 2 S61'o-mon. A wise 3 son 
maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is 
the "heaviness of his mother. 

2 Treasures of "wickedness profit nothing: 
but righteousness delivereth from death. 

3 ''The Lord will not suffer the soul of the 
righteous to famish: but he casteth away the 
substance of the wicked.

5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise 
son : but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son 
that causeth shame. 

6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: 
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 

7 The memory of the just is blessed: but 
the name of the wicked shall rot. 

8 The wise in heart will receive command- 
ments: but a ^prating fool shall fall. 

9 He rf that walketh uprightly walketh sure- 
ly: but he that perverteth his ways shall be 
known. 

10 He that winketh with the eye causeth 
sorrow: but a 4 prating fool shall fall. 

11 The mouth of e a righteous man is a well 
of life: but violence covereth the mouth of 
the wicked. 

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love f cov- 
ereth all sins. 

13 In the lips of him that hath understand- 
ing wisdom is found : but a rod 5 is for the back 
of him that is void of understanding. 

14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the 
mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 

15 s'The rich man's wealth is his strong city: 
the destruction of the poor is their poverty. 

16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to 
life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. 

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth 
instruction : but he that refuseth reproof err- 
eth. 

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, 
and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. 

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth 
not sin : but he that refraineth his lips is wise. 

20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: 
the heart of the wicked is little worth. 

21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but 
c fools die for want of wisdom. 

22 A The blessing of the Lord, it maketh 
rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 



o. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency 
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered 
the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win 
Christ (8), And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, 
which is of the law, hut that which is through the faith of Christ, the' 
righteousness which is of God by faith. (Phil. 3:8, 9.) 

p. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at; 
the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us 
by them that heard him. (Heb. 2:3.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that 
hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk 
without money, and without price. (Is. 55:1.) I am come unto my gar- 
den, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I 
have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with 
my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song 
5:i.) Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye 
seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the 
loaves, and were filled. (Jno. 6:26.) 

b. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your 
pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn 
again and rend you. (Mat. 7:6.) A scorner loveth not one that re- 
proveth him; neither will he go unto the wise. (Prov. 15:12.) 

c. Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. (Job 28:28.) The 
fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wis- 
dom and instruction. (Prov. 1:7.) 

d. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy trans- 
gressions be multiplied, w-hat doest thou unto him? (6). If thou be 
righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? 
(Job. 35:6, 7.) 

e. Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall 
be filled with gravel. (Prov. 20:17.) Drink waters out of thine own 
cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. (Prov 5:15.) 

f. See e, ch. 9. 



g. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of 
death. (Prov. 7:27.) 
Chapter 10. 

a. They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the mul- 
titude of their riches (6) ; ' None of them can by any means redeem his 
brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. (Ps. 49:6, 7.) 

b. Wherefore, O king, 'let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and 
break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing 
mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. (Dan. 
4:27.) 

c. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of 
every one that is hasty only to want. (Prov. 21:5.) The soul of the 
sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall 
be made fat. (Prov. 13:4.) 

d. Yea, though 1 walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they 
comfort me. (Ps. 23:4.) Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and 
thy foot shall not stumble. (Prov. 3:23.) Whoso walketh uprightly shall 
be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. (Prov. 
28:18.) He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; He shall 
dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: 
bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. (Is. 33:15, 16.) 

e. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue 
talketh of judgment. (Ps. 37:30.) The law of the wise is a fountain of 
life, to depart from the snares of death. (Prov. 13:14.) The words of a 
man's mouth are as deep waters, and the well-spring of wisdom as a 
flowing brook. (Prov. 18:4.) 

f. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for 
charity shall cover the multitude of sins. (I Pet. 4:8.) 

g. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high 
minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth 
us richly as all things to enjoy; (1 Tim. 6:17.) 

h. That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and 
I will fill their treasures. (Prcv. 8:21.) The Lord hath blessed my mas-

ter greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and

God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may estab- 
lish his covenant, which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. (Dt. 
8:18.) 

i. When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction 
cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 
(Prov. 1:27.) A .dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the de- 
stroyer shall come upon him. (Job. 15:21.) I also will choose their de- 
lusions, and w-ill bring their fears upon them; because when I called, 
none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil 
before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. (Is. 66:4.) 

j. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: 
for they shall be filled. (Mat. 5:6.) And this is the confidence that we 
have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth 
us (14). And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know 
that we have the petitions that we desired of him. (I Jno. 5:14, 15.) 
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the 
prayer of the upright is his delight. (Prov. 15:8.) 

k. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to 
thee. (Prov. 3:2.) For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the 
years of thy life shall be increased. (Prov. 9:11.) The fear of the Lord 
is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. (Prov. 14:27.) 

1. It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not 
be green (32). He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and 
shall cast off his flower as the olive. (Job 15:32, 33.) But thou, O God, 
shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful 
men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. (Ps. 
55:23.) 

m. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear 
what we shall be: but "we know that, when he shall appear, we shall 
be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) 

n. When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the 
hope of unjust men perisheth. (Prov. 11:7.) So are the paths of all 
that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish. (Job 8:13.) But 
the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their 
hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. (Job. 11:20.) 

o. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; 
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be 
weary; and they shall walk and not faint. (Is. 40:31.) I can do all 
things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Phil. 4:13.) 

p. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of 
the ungodly shall perish. (Ps. 1:6.) It is joy to the just to do judg- 
ment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. (Prov. 21:15.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. Divers weights and divjers measures, both of them are alike 
abomination to the Lord (10). Divers weights are an abomination unto 
the Lord; and a false balance is not good. (Prov. 20:10, 23.) Ye shall do 
no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure 
(35). Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye 
have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of 
Egypt. (Lev. 19:35. 36.) Thou shall not have in thy bag divers weights, 
a great and a small (13). Thou shalt not have in thine house divers 
measures, a great and a small (14). But thou shalt have a perfect and 
just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days 
may be lengthened in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee (15). 



For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abom- 
ination unto the Lord thy God. (Dt. 25:13-16.) 

b. A just weight and balance are the Lord's: all the weights of the 
bag are his work. (Prov. 16:11.) Just balances, just weights, a just 
ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which 
brought you out of the land of Egypt. (Lev. 19:36.) 

c. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a 
fall. (Prov. 16:18.) Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and 
before honor is humility. (Prov. 18:12.) A man's pride shall bring him 
low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. (Prov. 29:23.) 

d. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the 
day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of 
his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that 
dwell in the land. (Zeph. 1:18.) Treasures of wickedness profit noth- 
ing; but righteousness delivereth from death. (Prov. 10:2.) They shall 
cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their 
silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the 
wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their 
bowels; because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity. (Ez. 7:19.) 

e. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into 
the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 
(Gen. 7:1.) 

f. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 
(Prov. 3:6.) 

g. For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable 
unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that 
which is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, 
but righteousness delivereth from death. (Prov. 10:2.) 

h. He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an 
hedge, a serpent shall bite him. (Ecc. 10:8.) The heathen are sunk down 
in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot 
taken. (Ps. 9:15.) 

i. See Prov. 10:28. 

j. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out 
of all their troubles. (Ps. 34:17.) And the Lord shall deliver me from 
every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to 
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (II Tim. 4:18.) 

k. So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope 
shall perish: (Job 8:13.) 

1. Thou shalt not go up and down as a tale-bearer among thv people: 
neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the 
Lord. (Lev. 19:16.) He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth 
secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. 
(Prov. 20:19.) And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from 
house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, 
speaking things which they ought not. (I Tim. 5:13.) 

m. Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude 
of counsellors they are established. (Prov. 15:22.) Every purpose is 
established by counsel: and with good advice make war. (Prov. 20:18.) 
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of coun- 
sellors there is safety. (Prov. 24:6.) 

n. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand. Come, ye 
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the 
foundation of the world (34); For I was an hungered and ye gave me 
meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye 
took me in (35): Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited 
me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. (Mat. 25:34-36.) 

o. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your

19 As righteousness p tendeth to life: so he 
that pursueth evil apursueth it to his own 
death. 

20 They that are of a 7 froward heart are 
abomination to the Lord: but such as are up- 
right in their way are his delight. 

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked

righteous shall be delivered. 

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so 
is a fair woman which is without discretion. 

23 The desire of the righteous is only good:

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increas- 
eth; and there is that withholdeth more than

25 The "liberal soul shall be made fat: and 
he that 'watereth shall be watered also him- 
self. 

26 He that "withholdeth corn, the people

but the righteous 'shall flourish as a branch. 

29 He that troubleth his own house shall 
inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant 
to the wise of heart. 

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of 
life; and he that ^winneth souls is wise.

pensed in the earth: much more the wicked 
and the sinner.

fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain 
righteousness upon you. (Hos. 10:12.) For he that soweth to his flesh 
shall of the flesh reap cprruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall 
of the Spirit reap life everlasting (S). And let us not be weary in well 
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:8, 9.) 

p. The labor of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked 
to sin. (Prov. 10:16.) In the way of righteousness is life; and in the 
pathway thereof there is no death. (Prov. 12:28.) The fear of the Lord 
tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not 
be visited with evil. (Prov. 19:23.) 

q. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall 
remain in the congregation of the dead. (Prov. 21:16.) For the wages 
of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ 
our Lord. (Rom. 6:23.) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth 
forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (Js. 1:15.) 

r. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, 
but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath (8), Tribulation and 
anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first and 
also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:8, 9.) 

s. But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also spar- 
ingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully (6). 
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not 
grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (II Cor. 
9:6, 7.) Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits 
of all thine increase (9). So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and 
thy presses shall burst out with new wine. (Prov. 3:9, 10.) 

t. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Mat. 5:7.) 

u. Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor 
of the land to fail (4), Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that 
we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making 
the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by de- 
ceit? (Amos 8:4, 5.) 

v. So they hanged Hainan on the gallows that he had prepared for 
Mordeeai. Then was the king's wrath pacified. (Esth. 7:10.) He made a 
pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made (15). His 
mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall 
come down upon his own pate. (Ps. 7:15, 16.) They have prepared a net 
for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, 
unto the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. (Ps. 57:6.1 

w. If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold. Thou 
n rt my confidence (24): This also were an iniquity to be punished by the 
judge: for I should have denied the God that is above. (Job 31:24, 28.) 
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be 
forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it 
shall not be forgiven (10). So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, 
and is not rich toward God. (Luke 12:10, 21.) 

x. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spread- 
eth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but 
her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, 
neither shall cease from yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:8.) 

y. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself 
servant unto all, that I might gain the more. (I Cor. 9:19.) 

z. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of 
God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that 
obey not the gospel of God? (I Pet. 4:17.) A wise man heareth his 
father's Instruction, but a scorner heareth not rebuke (1). He that 



Keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips 
shall have destruction. (Prov. 13:1, 3.) The Lord rewardeth me accord- 
ing to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath 
he recompensed me (21). Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me ac- 
cording to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight. 
(II Sam. 22:21, 25.) 
Chapter 12. 

a. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he 
is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the 
man. (I Cor. 11:7.) Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is 
far above rubies (10). The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her 
so that he shall have no need of spoil. (Prov. 31:10, 11.) 

b. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth 
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a 
rock. (Mat. 7:24.) Therefore he knoweth their works, and he over- 
turned them in the night, so that they are destroyed. (Job 34:25 ) As 
the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is 
an everlasting foundation. (Prov. 10:25.) 

c. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return

ment; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever

wicked to be an unrighteous witness. (Ex. 23:1.) And from Jesus

and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and 
washed us from our sins in his own blood. (Rev. 1:5.) And unto the 
angel of the church of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the 
Air."'j, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of 
Gcd. (Rev. 3:14.) 

g. Wisdom is before him that hath understanding: but the eyes of

derstanding hath wisdom. (Prov. 10:23.)

who should walk after their own ungodly lust. (Jude 18.) To what pur- 
pose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am

k. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad 
is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in 
thereat. (Mat. 7:13.) The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he 
that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. (Prov. 12:15.) 

1. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now 
ashamed? for the end of those things is death. (Rom. 6:21.) 

m. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked 
in their own counsels. (Ps. 81:12.) Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill 
with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) 
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in 
simplicity and godly sincerity, Dot with fleshly wisdom, but by the 
grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more 
abundantly to you-ward. (II Cor. 1:12.) 

n. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the 
simple pass on, and are punished. (Prov. 22:3.) Be not wise in thine 
own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. (Prov. 3:7.) And unto 
man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart 
from evil is understanding. (Job 28:28.) Depart from evil, and do good; 
seek peace, and pursue it. (Ps. 34:14.) 

0. All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his 
friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are 
wanting to him. (Prov. 19:7.) 

p. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him 
in time of trouble. (Ps. 41:1.) 

q. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that 
ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. (Prov. 16:32.) The discre- 
tion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a 
transgression. (Prov. 19:11.) Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: 
for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. (Ecc. 7:9.) Wherefore, my be- 
loved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to 
wrath. (Js. 1:19.) 

r. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my 
brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Mat. 25:40.) But whoso hath this 
world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his 
bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 
(I Jno. 3:17.) 

s. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain 
mine own ways before him. (Job. 13:15.) And though after my skin 
worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. (Job 19:26.) 
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 
fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they com- 
fort me. (Ps. 23:4.) Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: 
for the end of that man is peace. (Ps. 37:37.) We are confident, I say, 
and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with 
the Lord. (II Cor. 5:8.) And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil 
work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be 
glory for ever and ever. Amen. (II Tim. 4:18.)

wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh 
uprightly. 

22 Without counsel purposes are disappoint- 
ed: but in the multitude of counsellors they 
are established. 

23 A man hath joy by the answer of his 
mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how 
good is it ! 

24 The -'way of life is above to the wise, 
that he may depart from hell beneath. 

25 The Lord will destroy the house of the 
proud: but he will establish the border of the 
widow. 

26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abom- 
ination to the Lord : but the words of the pure 
are pleasant words. 

27 He '-'that is greedy of gain troubleth his 
own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. 

28 The heart of the righteous studieth to 
'answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth 
out evil things. 

29 The Lord is '"far from the wicked: bu; 
he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 

30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: 
and a good report maketh the bones fat. 

31 The ear that heareth the reproof oi 
life abideth among the wise. 

32 He that refuseth "instruction despiseth 
his own soul: but he that *heareth reproof 
getteth understanding. 

33 The ''fear of the Lord is the instruction 
of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Chapter 15. 

a. For his eyes are upoa the ways of man, and he seeth all his 
goings. (Job 34:21.) For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are 
not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. (Jer. 
16:17.) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: 
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom 
we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

b. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them 
in pieces like a potter's vessel. (Ps. 2:9.) Their sorrows shall be mul- 
tiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will 
1 not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. (Ps. 16:4.) Evil pur- 
sueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 13:21.) 
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, 
mercy shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) For, lo, they that are far 
from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring 
from thee. (Ps. 73:27.) 

c. For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offer- 
ing; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlast- 
ing covenant with them. (Is. 61:S.) To what purpose cometh there to 
me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your 
burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. 
(Jer. 6:20.) Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offer- 
ings, I will not accept them: neither will 1 regard the peace offerings of 
your fat beasts. (Amos 5:22.) 

d. A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight 
is his delight (1). They that are of a froward heart are abomination 
to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. (Prov. 
11:1,20.) Lying lips arc abomination to the Lord: but they that deal 
truly are his delight. (Prov. 12:22.) Every one that is proud in heart is 
an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not 
be unpunished. (Prov. 16:5.) Divers weights, and divers measures, both 
of them are alike abomination to the Lord. (Prov. 20:10.) 

e. Put thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after right- 
eousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. (I Tim. 6:11.) 

t. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew 

all men. (Jno. 2:24.) And thej prayi -1. and said, Thou, Lord, which 

knowest the hearts of all men, show whether of those two thou hast 

Chosei 1:24.) And I will kill her children with death; and all 

i know that I am he which searcheth the reins and 

I I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 

g. But godliness with contentment is great gain. (I Tim. 6:6.) Bet- 
i a little '.villi righteou tha n enues without right. 

r. 10:8.) A little thai a righteous man hath is better than the 

riches of many v.iri I i 7:16.) Two in bettei tbi because 

they have a good rewa | eir labor. (Boc. i:9.) 



h. See o, ch. 1, Prov. 

i. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called 
The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall 
be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. 
(Is. 35:8.) 

j. For our conversation is in heaven ; from whence also we look fcr 
the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Phil. 3:20.) If ye then be risen 
with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on 
the right hand of God (1). Set your affection on things above, not ca 
things on the earth. (Col. 3:1, 2.) 

k. Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, 
till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of 
the earth! (Is. 5:8.) 

1. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who 
trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own 
husbands. (I Pet. 3:5.) 

m. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from th? 
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, 
having no hope and without God in the world. (Eph. 2:12.) Likewise 
the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should 
pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 
with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Rom. 8:26.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not 
in man that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) There are many 
devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, thai 
shall stand. (Prov. 19:21.) 

b. But ,vhen they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye 
shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall 
speak. (Mat. 10:19.) 

c. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or 
on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lor! 
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, 
but the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) 

d. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him: and he shall 
bring it to pass. (Ps. 37:5.) Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought 
for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for 
your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and 
the body than raiment? (Mat. 6:25.) Be careful for nothing; but in 
every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your re- 
quests be made known unto God. (Phil. 4:6.) Casting all your care 
upon him; for he eareth for you. (I Pet. 5:7*.) 

e. Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created 
him for my glory, I have formed him: yea, I have made him. (Is. 43:7.) 
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be 
glory for ever. Amen. (Rom. 11:36.)

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an 
abomination to the Lord: though hand join 
in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 

6 By ^mercy and truth iniquity is purged: 
and by the fear ''of the Lord men depart from 
evil. 

7 When a man's ways c please the Lord, he 
maketh even his enemies to be at peace with 
him. 

8 Better is a little with righteousness than 
great revenues without right. 

9 A man's heart deviseth his way: J but the 
Lord directeth his steps. 

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the 
king: his mouth transgresseth not in judg- 
ment. 

11 A just '''weight and balance are the 
Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his 
work. 

12 It is an abomination to kings to commit 
wickedness: for the throne is established by 
righteousness. 

13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; 
and they love him that speaketh right. 

14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of 
death: but a wise man will pacify it. 

15 In the light of the king's countenance is 
life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter 
rain. 

16 How much better is it to get wisdom 
than gold! and to get understanding rather 
to be chosen than silver! 

17 The 'highway of the upright is to de- 
part from evil: he that keepeth his way pre- 
serveth his soul. 

18 Pride '"goeth before destruction, and an 
haughty spirit before a fall. 

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit 
with the "lowly, than to divide the spoil with 
the proud. 

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall 
find good: and whoso trusteth °in the Lord, 
happy is he. 

21 The wise in' heart shall be called pru- 
dent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth 
learning. 

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life 
unto him that hath it: but the instruction of 
fools is folly. 

23 The heart Pof the wise teacheth his

for his mouth craveth it of him. 

27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in 
his lips there is as a burning fire. 

28 A froward man soweth strife: and a 
whisperer separateth chief friends. 

29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, 
and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward 
things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to 
pass. 

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it 
be found in the way of righteousness. 

32 He that is slow to anger is better than 
the mighty; and he that ^ruleth his spirit

33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the 
whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. 

CHAPTER 17. 

1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness 
therewith, than an house full of 'sacrifices 
with strife. 

2 A wise servant shall have rule over a 
son that causeth shame, and shall have part of 
the inheritance among the brethren. 

3 The "fining pot is for silver, and the fur- 
nace for gold: but the 2 Lord trieth the hearts. 

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; 
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. 

5 Whoso mocketh the poor 6 reproacheth his 
Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall 
not be unpunished. 

6 Children's children are the crown of old 
men ; and a glory of children are their fathers. 

7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: 
much less do lying lips a prince. 

8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes 
of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth,

9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh 
love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth 
very friends.

than an hundred stripes into a fool. 

11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: there- 
fore a cruel messenger shall be sent against

be brought forth to the day of wrath. (Job 21:30.) What if God, willing 
to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much 
long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction. (Rom. 9:22.) 

g. Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be. acceptable unto thee, and 
break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing 
mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. (Dan. 
4:27.) But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all 
things are clean unto you. (Luke 11:41.) 

h. See o, ch. 1, Prov. 

i. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being 
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. 
(Col. 1:10.) 

j. O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not 
in man that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) 

k. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye 
have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of 
Egypt. (Lev. 19:36.) The king's favor is toward a wise servant: but his 
wrath is against him that causeth shame. (Prov. 14:35.) He that loveth 
pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. 
(Prov. 22:11.) 

1. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called 
The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall 
be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. 
(Is. 35:8.) And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience 
void of offence toward God, and toward men. (Acts 24:16.) 

m. When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly 
is wisdom. (Prov. 11:2.) Before destruction the heart of man is 
haughty, and before honor is humility. (Prov. 18:12.) Thy terribleness 
hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest 
in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou 
shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from 
thence, saith the Lord. (Jer. 49:16.) The pride of thine heart hath de- 
ceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose hab- 
itation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to 
the ground? (3). Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou 
set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the 
Lord. (Obad. 3, 4.) 



n. Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the 
lowly. (Prov. 3:34.) A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor 
shall uphold the humble in spirit. (Prov. 29:23.) For thus saith the 
high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell 
in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and 
humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart 
of the contrite ones. (Is. 57:15.) 

o. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the. Lord, and whose hope 
the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) 

p. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue 
talketh of judgment. (Ps. 37:30.) O generation of vipers, how can ye, 
being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart 
the mouth speaketh. (Mat. 12:34.) 

q. The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory 
to pass over a transgression. (Prov. 19:11.) Be not hasty in thy spirit 
to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. (Ecc. 7:9.) Where- 
fore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, 
slow to wrath (19) : For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness 
of God. (Js. 1:19, 20.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every 
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 
(Jer. 17:10.) And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and 
he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that 
they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. (Mai. 3:3.) 

b. If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted 
up myself when evil found him. (Job 31:29.) 

c. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and gave 
him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. (Gen. 39:21.) And 
Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a 
man in whom the Spirit of God is? (Gen. 41:38.) Then this Daniel was 
preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit 
was in him: and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

15 He that fjustifieth the wicked, and he

16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand 
of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no

17 A friend loveth at all times, and a

18 A man void of understanding striketh

falleth into mischief. 

21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his

24 Wisdom ''is before him that hath under-

to work with your own hands, as we commanded you. (I Thess. 4:11.) 

f. Keep thee far from a false matter: and the innocent and righteous 
slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. (Ex. 23:7.) Which 
justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the 
righteous from him! (Is. 5:23.) 

g. And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and

i. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,

arate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. (Jude 17, 19.) 

b. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the 
words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter 
dark sayings of old. (Ps. 78:1. 2.) 6 generation of vipers, how can ye, 
being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance' of the heart 
the mouth speaketh (34). A good man out of the good treasure of the 
heart, bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treas- 
ure, bringeth forth evil things (35). But I say unto you, That every idle 
word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day 
of judgment <?A). For by thy words thou sbalt be justified, and by thy 
words thou shalt be condemned. (.Mat. 12:34-37.) 

c. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not re- 
spect the person of the poor, nnr honor the person of the mighty: but 
in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. (Lev. 19:15.) Thou shalt 
not rest judgment: thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: 



for a gift doth blind the eves of the wise, and pervert the words of th?

sav of the Lord, He is mv refuge and mv fortress: my God; in him will

e. It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and 
after vows to make enquiry. (Prov. 20:25.) Doth our law judge any 
man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? (Jno. 7:51.) 

f. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may 
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of 
him. (Eph. 1:17.) 

g. And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. 
For he said, I will appease him with a present that goeth before me, 
and afterward I will see Lis face; peradventure he will accept of me.

h. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou 
shalt be condemned. (Mat. 12:37.) The wicked is snared by the trans- 
gression of his lips. (Prov. 12:13.) He that keepeth his mouth keepeth 
his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. (Prov.

i. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you (14). 
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what 
his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for ail things that I have 
heard of my Father I have made known unto vou. (Jno. 15:14. 15.)

is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. (Prov. 2S:6.) 

b. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not 
according to knowledge. (Rom. 10:2.) In flaming fire taking vengeance 
en them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord 
Jesus Christ. 'II Thes. 1:8.) 

c. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself 
because of him who prcspereth in his way, because of the man who 
bringeth wicked devices to pass. (Ps. 37:7.)

5 d A false witness shall not be unpunished,

6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: 
and every man is a friend to him that giveth

7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: 
how much more do his friends go far from

1 Wine °is a mocker, strong drink is raging:

10 Divers weights, and divers measures, 
both of them are alike abomination to the 
Lord. 

11 Even a child is °known by his doings, 



d. Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the 
wicked to be an unrighteous witness. (Ex. 23:1.) A false witness shall 
perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly. (Prov. 21:28.) 
If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that 
which is wrong (16) : Then both the men, between whom the controversy 
is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which 
shall be in those days (17); And the judges shall make diligent inquisi- 
tion: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified 
falsely against his brother (18) ; Then shall ye do unto him, as he 
had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil 
away from among you. (Dt. 19:16-19.) 

e. And the king commanded, and they brought those men which 
had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, 
their children, and their wives: and the lions had the mastery of them, 
and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of 
the den. (Dan. 6:24.) 

f. There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error 
which proceedeth from the ruler (5) : Folly is set in great dignity, and 
the rich sit in low place. (Ecc. 10:5, G.) 

g. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse 
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite- 
fully use you, and persecute you. (Mat. 5:44.) Dearly beloved, avenge 
not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Ven- 
geance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (Rom. 12:19.) 

h. Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will 
not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the chil- 
dren ought not to lay up for tne parents, but the parents for the chil- 
dren. (II Cor. 12:14.) 

i. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and 
thou shalt live. (Lev. 10:28.) But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they 
that hear the word of God, and keep it. (Luke 11:28.) The highway of 
the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth 
his soul. (Prov. 16:17.) 

j. But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also spar- 
ingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 
(II Cor. 9:6.) For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor 
of love, which ye have shown toward his name, in that ye have minis- 
tered to the saints, and do minister. (Heb. 6:10.) 

k. But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his 
soul desireth, even that he doeth. (Job 23:13.) The preparations of the 
heart in man. and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord (1). A 
man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. (Prov. 
16:1, 9.) 

1. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto 
all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is 



to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to de- 
part from the snares of death. (Prov. 14:27.) 

m. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and 
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and 
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. (Eph. 4:11.) 
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him 
not into your house, neither bid him God speed. (II Jno. 10.) 

n. In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but 
a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. (Prov. 10:13.) 
A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. 
(Prov. 18:6.) A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for 
the fool's back. (Prov. 26:3.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncov- 
ered within his tent. (Gen. 9:21.) But they also _ have erred through 
wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and tne 
prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, 
they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they 
stumble in judgment. (Is. 28:7.) Whoredom and wine and new wine 
take away the heart. (Hos. 4:11.) 

b. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, 
between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for 
we be brethren. (Gen. 13:8.) A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; 
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. (Prov. 17:4.) 

c. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet 
before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, 
that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have 
their reward. (Mat. 6:2.) Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like 
clouds and wind without rain. (Prov. 25:14.) The Pharisee stood and 
prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other 
men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. (Luke 
18:11.) 

d. If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) 
and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that 
they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near. 
(I Ks. 8:46.) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and 
the truth is not in us. (I Jno. 1:8.) If they sin against thee, (for there 
is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and de- 
liver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives 
unto a land far off or near. (II Chr. 6:36.) Who can bring a clean thing 
out of an unclean? not one. (Job 14:4.) What then? are we better 
than they? No, in no w-ise: foi we have before proved both Jews and 
Gentiles, that they are all under sin. (Rom. 3:9.) 

e. Ye shall know them bv their fruits. Do men gather grapes of 
thorns, or figs of thistles? (Mat. 7:16.)

CHAPTER 21. 

1 The king's heart is in the hand of the 
Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it 
whithersoever he will. 

2 Every way of a man is right in his own 
eyes: "but the Lord ^ondereth the hearts. 

3 To & do justice and judgment is more Ac- 
ceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. 

4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the 
plowing of the wicked, is sin. 

5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only 
to plenteousness; but of every one that is 
hasty only to want. 

6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue 
is a 'vanity tossed to and fro of them that 
seek death. 

7 The robbery of the wicked shall °destroy 
them; because they refuse to do judgment. 

8 The way of man is 5 froward and strange: 
but as for the pure, his work is right. 

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the 
house top, than with a "brawling woman in a 
wide house. 

10 The f 'soul of the wicked desireth evil: 
his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. 

11 When the 7 scorner is punished, the sim- 
ple is made wise: and when the wise is in- 
structed, he receiveth knowledge. 

12 The r righteous man wisely considereth the 
house of the wicked: but God overthroweth 
the wicked f ior their wickedness. 

13 "Whoso stoppeth 8 his ears at the cry of 
the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall 
not be heard. 

14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a 
reward in the bosom strong wrath. 

15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: 
but destruction shall be to the workers of in- 
iquity. 

16 The man that wandereth out of the way 
of understanding shall remain in the congre- 
gation of the dead. 

17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor 
man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be 
rich. 

18 ''The wicked shall be a ransom for the 
righteous, and the transgressor for the up- 
right. 



f. And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or 
who rnaketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not 
I the Lord? (Ex. 4:11.) For of him, and through him, and to him, are 
all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (Rom. 11:36.) 

g. Not slothful in business: fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. 
(Rom. 12:11.) How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou 
arise out of thy sleep? (9). Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little 
folding of the hands to sleep. (Prov. 6:9, 10.) Slothfulness casteth into 
a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. (Prov. 19:15.) Yet 
a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. 
(Prov. 24:33.) 

h. For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely 
be put to death; he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood 
shall be upon him. (Lev. 20:9.) For God commanded, saying, Honor 
thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him 
die the death. (Mat. 15:4.) 

i. Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting 
proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which 
is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! 
(Hab. 2:6.) 

j. To me belongeth vengeance, and reeompenee; their foot shall slide 
in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things 
that shall come upon them make haste. (Dt. 32:35.) Recompense to no 
man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (Rom. 
12:17.) Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrari- 
wise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should in- 
herit a blessing. (I Pet. 3:9.) 

k. O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not 
in man that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23.) Not that we are 
sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our suffi- 
ciency is of God. (II Cor. 3:5.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew 
all men (21), And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew 

h.'i ■■:>:■ in man. (.Ino. 2:24, 25.) And I will kill her children with 
death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the 
reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to 
your works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

b. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God 
than I. unit offerings. (Hos. 6:6.) The sacrifice of the wicked is an 

aboi ation in the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 

(Prov. 15:8.) And Samuel said. Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt 
offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to 
obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 



(I Sam. 15:22.) To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices 
unto me? saith the Lord; I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and 
the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of 
lambs, or of he goats (11). Wash you, make you clean; put away the 
evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil (16); Learn 
to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, 
plead for the widow. (Is. 1:11, 16, 17.) 

c. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent 
dealing shall come down upon his own pate. (Ps. 7:16.) But thou, O 
God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and de- 
ceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. 
(Ps. 55:23.) 

d. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than 
a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; 
now shall be their perplexity (4). Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not con- 
fidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in 
thy bosom. (Mic. 7:4, 5.) Do ye think that the scripture saith iu vain, 
The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? (.Is. 4:5.) 

e. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and 
he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and che just 
shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. (Hos. i4:9.) 
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were de- 
stroyed of the destroyer. (I Cor. 10:10.) 

f. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, 
but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath (8), Tribulation and 
anguish, upon every soul of man that doetb evil, of L .ho Jew first, and 
also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:8, 9.) 

g. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall bf judged; and with 
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Mat. 7:2.) 
And he would not; but went and cast him. inio 'iison, till he should 
pay the debt (30). So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they 
were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done (31). 
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou 
wicked servant, I forgave thee a:l that debt, because thou desired"t me 
(32). Shouldest not thou also have had had compassion on thy lellow- 
servant, even as I had pity on thee? (33). And his lord was wroth, and 
delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due 
unto him. (Mat. 18:30-34.) But whoso hath this world's good, and 
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion 
from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? (I Jno. 3:17.) 

h. For I am the Lord thy God. the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: 
I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee (3). Since 
thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have 
loved thee; therefore wil. I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

them (3). But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (Mat. 
25:3, 4.) That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and 
I will fill their treasures. (Prov. 8:21.) By humility and the fear of 
the Lord are riches, and honor and life. (Prov. 22:4.) Wealth and 
riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 
(Ps. 112:3.) 

j. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always 
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that 
your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (I Cor. 15:58.) The way of the 
wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that fol- 
loweth after righteousness. (Prov. 15:9.) Blessed are they which do 
hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Mat. 5:6.) 

k. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. (Ps. 
37:26.) A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his af- 
fairs with discretion (5). He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; 
his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with 
honor. (Ps. 112:5, 9.) Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that 
would borrow of thee turn not thou away. (Mat. 5:42.) Let him that 
stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands 
the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 
(Eph. 4:28.) 

1. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but 
the prayer of the upright is his delight. (Prov. 15:8.) I will take no 
bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. (Ps. 50:9.) He 
that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, 
as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he 
offered swine's blood; he that burnetii incense, as if he blessed an idol. 
Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their 
abominations. (Is. 66:3.) Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your 
meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace 
offerings of your fat beasts. (Amos 5:22.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that 
refuoeth reproof erreth. (Prov. 10:17.) A good name is better than 
precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. 
(Ecc. 7:1.) 

b. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world 
(1): Both low and high, rich and poor, together. (Ps. 49:1, 2.) My 



brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, 
with respect of persons. (Js. 2:1.) 

c. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy 
doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the 
indignation be overpast. (Is. 26:20.) That by two immutable things, 
in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong con- 
solation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before 
us. (Heb. 6:18.) 

d. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that 
is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him 
not. (I Jno. 5:18.) Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth 
his soul from troubles. (Prov. 21:23.) 

e. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring 
them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Eph. 6:4.) 

f. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity: ye have 
eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy way, in the 
multitude of thy mighty men. (Hos. 10:13.) Be not deceived; God is 
not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (7). 
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he 
that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Gal. 
6:7, 8.) 

g. And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is 
snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall 
escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. (Ecc. 7:26.) 

h. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, 
now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that 
puffeth at him. (Ps. 12:5.) For he shall have judgment without mercy; 
that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. 
(Js. 2:13.) 

i. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to 
give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that 
is in you with meekness and fear. (I Pet. 3:15.) 

j. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift 
witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against 
false swearers, and against those .that oppress the hireling in his 
wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger 
from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:5.) 

k. And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that 
he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated 
not in time past. (Dt. 19:4.)

1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler,

a man given to appetite. 

3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they

wings; they fly away as an eagle toward

6 Eat f thou not the bread of him that hath 
an evil eye. neither desire thou his dainty 
meats :

Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his- heart

1. And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon 
seeing the young man that tie was industrious, he made him ruler over 
all the charge of the house of Joseph. (I Ks. 11:28.) The hand of the 
diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. (Prov. 
12:24.) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. 
(Rom. 12:11.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and 
into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and 
perdition (9). For "the love of money is the root of all evil; which while 
some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced them- 
selves through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:9, 10.) 

b. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, 
but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own con-. 
reits. (Rom. 12:16.) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean 
not unto thine own understanding (5). Be not wise in thine own eyes: 
fear the Lord, and depart from evil. (Prov. 3:5, 7.) 

c. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked words 
with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. (Ps. 
141:4.) Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying. 
The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be 
evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him naught; and he cry 
t'nto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee. (Dt. 15:9.) He that 
1'asteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and eonsidereth not that poverty 
r:hall come upon him. (Prov. 28:22.) 

d. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your 
earls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn 
.l'-rain and rend you. (Mat. 7:6.) 

e. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, 
now will I arise, saith the Lord: I will set him in safety from him that 
t.Tiffeth at him. (Ps. 12:5.) Their Redeemer is strong: the Lord of hosts 
is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give

f. To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the 
rVsh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (I Cor.

g. Happv is the man (hat feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his 
heart shall fall into mischief. (Prov. 28:11.) 

h. But Abraham said. Son. remember that thou in thy lifetime re- 



ceivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he 
is comforted, and thou art tormented. (Luke 16:25.) 

i. Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of 
strength to mingle strong drink. (Is. 5:22.) And take heed to yourselves, 
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunk- 
enness, and cares of life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 
(Luke 21:34.) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be 
filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:18.) 

j. Children, obey your parents in the i>ord: for this is right (li. 
Honor thy father and mother: which is the first commandment with 
promise (2) ; That it mav be well with thee, and thou mayest live long 
on the earth. (Eph. 6:1-3.) 

k. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field: 
the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for jov thereof goeth 
and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field. (Mat. 13:44.) Wis- 
dom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom: and with all thy get- 
ting get understanding. (Prov. 4:7.) The heart of the prudent getteth 
knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. (Prov. 18:15.) 

1. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may 
follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! (11). 
And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their 
feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the 
operation of his hands (12). Woe unto them that are mighty to 
drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink. (Is. 5:11, 12. 22.) 

m. O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast strickea 
them, but they have not grieved: thou hast consumed them, but they 
have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder 
than a rock: they have refused to return. (Jer. 5:3.) 

n. Come ye. say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves 
with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day. and much more 
abundant. (Is. 56:12.) But it is happened unto them according to the 
true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again: and the sow 
that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. (II Pet. 2:22.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of 
him that ruleth among fools (17). Wisdom is better than weapons of 
war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. (Ecc. 9:17. IS.) A wise man 
scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the 
confidence thereof. (Prov. 21:22.)

7 Wisdom is "too high for a fool: he open- 
eth not his mouth in the gate. 

8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called 
a mischievous person. 

9 The ^thought of foolishness is sin: and 
the scorner is an abomination to men. 

10 If thou faint m the day of adversity, thy 
strength is small. 

11 l If thou forbear to deliver them that are 
drawn unto death, and those that are ready 
to be slain; 

12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; 
doth not he that pondereth the heart consider 
it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he 
know it? and shall not he render to every man 
"-'according to his woncs? 

13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is 
good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to 
thy taste: 

14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be 
unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then 
there shall be a reward, and thy expectation 
shall not be cut off. 

15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against 
the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his 
resting place: 

16 For 'a just man falleth 'seven times, and 
riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into 
mischief. 

17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth. 
and let not thine heart be glad, when he stum- 
bleth : 

18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease 
him, and he turn away his wrath from him. 

19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, 
neither be thou envious at the wicked; 

20 For ''there shall be no reward to the evil 
man; the candle of the wicked shall be put 
out. 

21 My son, "fear thou the Lord and the king: 
and meddle not with them that are given to 
change: 

22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; 
and who knoweth the ruin of them both? 

23 These thing's also belong to the wise. 
ft It is not good to have respect of persons in 
judgment. 

24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art 
righteous; him shall the people curse, nations 
shall abhor him: 

25 But to them that rebuke him shall be de- 
light, and a good blessing shall come upon 
them.

1 Observations about kings, 8 and about 
avoiding causes of quarrels, and sundry 
causes thereof. 

1 'These are also proverbs of Sol'o-mon, 
which the men of Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah 
copied out. 

2 °It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: 
but the honour of kings is Ho search out a 
matter. 

3 The heaven for height, and the earth for 
depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. 

4 Take away the dross from the silver, and 
there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. 

5 Take away the wicked from before the 
king, and his throne shall be established in 
righteousness. 

6 Put c not forth thyself in the presence of 
the king, and stand not in the place of great 
men : 

7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, 
Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be 
put lower in the presence of the prince whom 
thine eyes have seen. 

8 d Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou 
know not what to do in the end thereof, when 
thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. 

9 2 Debate e thy cause with thy neighbour 
himself; and 'discover ''not a secret to an- 
other : . 



b. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, 
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. (Mat. 15:19.) Repent 
therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought 
of thine heart may be forgiven thee. (Acts 8:22.) 

c. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his 
life for us: we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (I Jno. 
3:16.) 

d. Who will render to every man according to his deeds. (Rom. 2:6.) 
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know 
that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto 
every one of you according to your works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

e. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivered! 
him out of them all. (Ps. 34:19.) Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: 
when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a 
light unto me. (Mic. 7:8.) 

f. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and 
an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. (Ps. 11:6.) 
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his 
hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) Let not him that is deceived trust 
in vanity: for vanity shall be his reeompence. (Job 15:31.) 

g. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is 
due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom 
honor. (Rom. 13:7.) Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. 
Honor the king. (I Pet. 2:17.) 

b. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the 
small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; 
for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you, bring 
it unto me, and I will hear it. (Dt. 1:17 ) Judge not according to the 
appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (Jno. 7:24.) 

i. Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 
(Lev. 19:11.) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 
'Ex. 20:16.) "Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with 
his neighbor: for we are members one of another. (Eph. 4:25.) 

j. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall 
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also (39). And if 
any man will sue thee at tne law, and take away thy coat, let him have 
thy cloak also (40). And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go 
with him twain (-11). Give to him that askcth thee, and from him that 



would borrow of thee turn not thou away. (Mat. 5:39-12.) Let all bit- 
terness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put. 
away from you, with all malice (31): And be ye kind one to another, 
tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath 
forgiven you. (Eph. 4:31, 32.) 

k. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the 
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, 
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in 
sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life (17) ; Thorns also and 
thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the 
field. (Gen. 3:17, 18.) But that which beareth thorns and briers is re- 
jected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. (Heb. 6:8.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of 
God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding 
out! (Rom.. 11:33.) The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of 
Israel. (Prciv. 1:1.) 

b. And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding 
much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea 
shore (29). And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the clrl- 
dren of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. (I Ks. 4:29, 30.) 
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched 
out. (Job 29:16.) 

c. When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down 
in the highest room: lest more honorable than thou be bidden of him (8); 
And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man 
place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room (9). For 
whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth him- 
self shall be exalted. (Luke 14:8, 9, 11.) For promotion cometh neither 
from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south (6). But God is 
the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. (Ps. 75:6, 7.) 

d. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not 
hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? (Js. 4:1.) What 
fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the 
end of those things is death. (Rom. 6:21.) 

e. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way 
with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and 
the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Mat.

10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, 
and thine infamy turn not away. 

11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of 
gold in pictures of silver. 

12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament 
of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an 
obedient ear. 

13 As the cold of snow in the time of har- 
vest, so is a faithful messenger to them that 
send him: for he refresheth the soul of his 
masters. 

14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is 
like ^clouds and wind without rain. 

15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, 
and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 

16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as 
is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled there- 
with, and vomit it. 

17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's 
house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate 
thee. 

18 A man that beareth false witness against 
his neighbour ''is a maul, and a sword, and a 
sharp arrow. 

19 Confidence in an 'unfaithful man in time 
of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot 
out of joint. 

20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold 
weather, and as vinegar upon 4 nitre, J so is he 
that singeth songs to an heavy heart. 

21 If thine *'enemy be hungry, give him 
bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him 
water to drink : 

22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon 
his head, 'and the Lord shall reward thee. 

23 The north wind driveth away rain : so 
doth an angry countenance a backbiting 
tongue. 

24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the 
house top, than with a brawling woman and 
in a wide house. 

25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is 
good news from a far country. 

26 A righteous '"man falling down before 
the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a 
corrupt spring. 

27 It is not good to eat much honey: so 
"for men to search their own glory is not 
glory. 

28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit 
is like a city that is broken down, and without 
walls.

1. Give a right judgment. 



1 As snow in summer, and as rain in har- 
vest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 

2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow 
by flying, so the curse causeless "shall not 
come. 

3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, 
and a rod for the fool's back. 

4 Answer fc not a fool according to his folly, 
lest thou also be like unto him. 

5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest 
he be wise in his own conceit. 

6 He that sendeth a message by the hand 
of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh 
damage. 

7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is 
a parable in the mouth of fools. 

8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so 
is he that giveth honour to a fool. 

9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a 
drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of 
fools. 

10 The great God that formed all things 
both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth trans- 
gressors. 

11 As a dog return eth to his vomit, so a 
fool returneth to his folly. 

12 Seest thou a man wise in his own con- 
ceit? there is more hope of a fool than of 
him. 

13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion 
in the way; a lion is in the streets. 

14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so 
doth the slothful upon his bed. 

15 The slothful hideth his hand in his 
bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to 
his mouth. 

16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit 
than seven men that can render a 'reason. 

17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with 
strife belonging not to him, is like one that 
taketh a dog by the ears. 

18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, 
arrows, and death, 

19 So is the man that deceiveth his neigh- 
bour, and saith, Am not I in sport? 

20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth 
out: so where there is no talebearer, the 
strife ceaseth. 

21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood 
to fire; so is a Contentious man to kindle 
strife. 

22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, 
and they go down into the innermost parts of 
the belly. 



5:25.) Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell 
him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall bear thee, thou 
hast gained thy brother. (Mat. 1S:15.) 

f. A tale-bearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit 
concealeth the matter. (Prov. 11:13.) 

g. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with 
you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, 
carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth", without fruit, twice 
dead, plucked up by the roots. (Jude 12.) And the prophets shall be- 
come wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto 
them. (Jer. 5:13.) If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, 
saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall 
even be the prophet of this people. (Mic. 2:11.) 

h. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison 
is under their lips. Selah. (Ps. 140:3.) Be not a witness against thy 
neighbor without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. (Prov. 24:2S.) 
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. (Ex. 20:16.) 

i. Lo. thou trusteth in the staff of this broken reed on Egypt; where- 
on if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh 
king of Egypt to all that trust in him. (Is. 36:6.) At my first answer 
no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may 
not be laid to their charge. (II Tim. 4:16.) 

j. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: 
neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep 
went from him. (Dan. 6:18.) Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and 
weep with them that weep. (Rom. 12:15.) 

k. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse 
you. do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite- 
fully use you, and persecute you. (Mat. 5:44.) If thou meet thine 
enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to 
him again M). If thou see the as? of him that hateth thee lying under 
his burden, and wowidest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help 
with him. iKx. 23:4, 5.) And tha men which were expressed by name 
rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were 
naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to 



eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all of the feeble of 
them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, 
to their brethren; then they returned to Samaria. (II Chr. 28:15.) There- 
fore if thine enemy hunger, feed bim; if he thirst, give him drink: for 
in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (Rom. 12:20.) 

1. It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction, and that tha 
Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day. (II Sam. 16:12.) 
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, 
whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, behold, 
I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man accord- 
ing as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) For we know him that hath 
said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. 
And again, The Lord shall judge bis people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

m. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall 
arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Mic. 
7:8.) Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto 
him saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee (69). But he denied 
before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. (Mat. 26:69, 70.) 

n. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that 
humbleth himself shall be exalted. (Luke 14:11.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall 
I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied? (Num. 23:8.) Let them curse, 
but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy 
servant rejoice. (Ps. 109:2S.) 

b. But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the 
king's commandment was, saying. Answer him not. (Is. 36:21.) Give 
not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before 
swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend 
you. (Mat. 7:6.) 

c. A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger 
appeaseth strife. (Prov. 15:1S.) An angry man stirreth up strife, and 
a furious man aboundeth in transgression. (Prov. 29:22.) Surely the 
rhurning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose 
bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. 
(Prov. 30:33.)

General observations of impiety and religious

1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth : 
but the righteous are bold as a lion. 

2 For the transgression of a land many are 
the princes thereof: but by a man of under- 
standing and knowledge the state thereof shall 
be prolonged. 

3 A "poor man that oppresseth the poor is 
like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 

4 They that forsake the law praise the 
wicked : 6 but such as keep the law contend with 
them. 



d. And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was 
called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto 
Jesus to kiss him (47). But Jesus said unto him, Judas, hetrayest thou 
the Son of man with a kiss? (Luke 22:47, 48.) 

e. So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared 
for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified. (Est. 7:10.) He made 
a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made (15). 
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing 
shall come down upon his own pate. (Ps. 7:15, 16.) 

f. Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wick- 
edness overthroweth the sinner. (Prov. 13:6.) A man that flattereth his 
neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet. (Prov. 29:5.) 

Chapter 27. 

a. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up 
for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry (19). But 
God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of 
thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? (Luke 
12:19, 20.) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in 
the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted 
time: behold, now is the day of salvation.) (II Cor. 6:2.) Go to now, 
ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and con- 
tinue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain (13). Whereas ye 
know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is 
even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 
(Js. 4:13, 14.) 

b. And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him rev- 
erence, then was Haman full of wrath (5). And he thought scorn to lay 
hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shown him the people of Mor- 
decai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were 
throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mor- 
decai. (Est. 3:5, 6.) 

c. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, 
and his brother's righteous. (I Jno. 3:12.) 

d. . Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the 
dust, and forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild 
beast may break them. (Job 39:14, 15.) 

e. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of 
the youth (4). Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they 
shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. 
(Ps. 127:4, 5.) So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth 
me: for I trust in thy word. (Ps. 119:42.) 

f. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a 



covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place; as the 
shadow of a great rock in a weary land. (Is. 32:2.) 

g. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he 
made him overseer over. his house, and all that he had he put into his 
hand. (Gen. 39:4.) Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? 
who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who 
feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? (7). Do ye not 
know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of 
the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the 
altar? (I Cor. 9:7, 13.) The husbandman that laboreth must be first 
partaker of the fruits. (II Tim. 2:6.) 

h. Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, 
neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as 
death, and can not be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and 
heapeth unto him all people. (Hah. 2:5.) 

i. Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the 
isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and 
keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. (Jer. 31:10.) As a shepherd 
seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are 
scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all 
places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. (Ez. 
34:12.) Tcr him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he 
calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. (Jno. 10:3.) 

.1. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my 
head. (Job 19:9.) Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: 
thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. (Ps. 89:39.) 
Thus saith the Lord God, Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: 
this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that 
is high. (Ez. 21:26.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow- 
servants, which owed him an hundred pence; and he laid hands on him, 
and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. (Mat. 
18:28.) 

b. And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy 
father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, 
and thou hast followed Baalim. (I Ks. 18:18.) But when he saw many 
of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, 
O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee frorr the wrath 
to come? (Mat. 3:7.) For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee 
to have her. (Mat. 14:4.) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful 
works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (Eph. 5:11.)

7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but 
he that is a companion of riotous men shameth

8 He that hy usury and unjust gain in-

c. Yet he passed awav. and, lo. he was not: yea, I sought him, but 
he could not be found. (Ps. 37:36.) The righteous man wisely consid- 
ereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for 
their wickedness. (Prov. 21:12.") The righteous shall rejoice when he 
seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 
(Ps. 58:10.) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward 
of the wicked. (Ps. 91:8.)

chasteneth him betimes. (Prov. 13:24.)

is he. 

19 A servant will not be corrected by words : 
for though he understand he will not answer. 

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his 
words? there is more hope of a fool than of 
nim. 

21 He that delicately bringeth up his serv- 
ant from a child shall have him become his son 
at the length. 

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a 
furious man aboundeth in transgression. 

23 ^A man's pride shall bring him low: but 
honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. 

24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his 
own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth 
it not. 

25 The fear ''of man bringeth a snare: but 
whoso 'putteth his trust in the Lord shall be 
safe. 

26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every 
man's judgment cometh from the Lord. 

27 An unjust man is an abomination to the 
just: and he that is upright in the way is 
abomination to the wicked.

2 Surely I am more "brutish than any man, 
and have not the understanding of a man. 

3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the 
knowledge of the holy. 

4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or 
descended? who hath gathered the wind in his 
fists? who hath bound the waters in a gar- 
ment? who hath established all the ends of the 
earth? what is his name, and what is his son's 
name, if thou canst tell? 

5 Every word of 'God is pure: he is a shield 
unto them that put their trust in him. 

6 a Add thou not unto his words, lest he re- 
prove thee, and thou be found a "liar.

me them not before I die: 

8 Remove far from me Vanity and lies: 
give me neither poverty "nor riches; 6 feed me 
with food convenient for me : 

9 ^Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, 
Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, 
and take the name of my God in 5 vain. 

10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, 
lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

father, and doth not bless their mother.

1. Ch. 30 is considered the most 
enigmatical and difficult portion of 
the. Proverbs; it is a eh. of dark say-

been a ch. of much Jiscussion. 



2. Stupid, lacking in intelligence. 



Falsifiers of his truth. 



4. Deceptive things. 



Impugn the Divine character. 



12 There is a generation that are pure in 
their own eyes, and yet is not washed from 
their filthiness. 

13 There is a generation, O how lofty are 
their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. 

14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as 
swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to de- 
vour the poor from off the earth, and the needy 
from among men. 

15 The horseleach hath two daughters, cry- 
ing, Give, give. There are three things that 
are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, 
It is enough: 

16 The grave; and the barren womb; the 
earth that is not filled with water; and the fire 
that saith not, It is enough. 

17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and 
despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of 
the valley shall pick it out, and the young 
eagles shall eat it. 

18 There be three things which are too won- 
derful for me, yea, four which I know not: 

19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way 
of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship 
in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man 
with a maid. 

20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman ; 
she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I 
have done no wickedness. 

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, 
and for four which it cannot bear: 

22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a 
fool when he is filled with meat; 

23 For an odious woman when she is mar- 
ried ; and an handmaid that is heir to her mis- 
tress. 

24 There be four things which are little 
upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: 

25 The f ants are a people not strong, yet 
they prepare their meat in the summer; 

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make 
they their houses in the rocks; 

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they 
forth all of them by bands; 

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, 
and is in king's palaces. 

29 There be three things which go well, 
yea, four are comely in going: 

30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, 
and turneth not away for any; 

31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a 
king, against whom there is no rising up. 

32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up 
thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, flay thine 
hand upon thy mouth. 

33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth 
forth butter, and the wringing of the nose 
bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath 
bringeth forth strife. 



the word of the Lord vras precious in those days; there was no open 
vision. (I Sam. 3:1.) Behold, the days ccme, saith the Lord God, that 
I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst 
for water, hut of hearing the words of the Lord. (Amos 8:11.) 

f. If ye know these things, happy are ye if you do them. (Jno. 
13:17.) But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth 
therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this 
man shall be blessed in his deed. (Js. 1:25.) 

g. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that 
shall humble himself shall be exalted. (Mat. 23:12.) And immediately 
the angel cf the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: 
and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. (Acts 12:23.) 

h. Therefore it shall come to "pass, when the Egyptians shall see 
thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but 
they will save thee alive. (Gen. 12:12.) And Abraham said of Sarah his 
wife, She is my sister; and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took 
Sarah. (Gen. 20:2.) And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of 
them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 
(Luke 12:4.) Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed 
on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest 
they should be put out of the synagogue (42) : For they loved the praise 
of men more than the praise of God. (Jno. 12:42, 43.) 

i. The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth 
into it, and is safe. (Prov. 18:10.) He that is of a proud heart stirreth 
up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat. 
(Prov. 28:25.) See Ps. 91:1-16. 



Chapter 30. 

a. Ye shall net add unto the word which I command you, neither 
shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments 
of the Lord your God which I command you. (Dt. 4:2.) For I testify unto 
every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any 
man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that 
are written in this book. (Rev. 22:18.) 

b. Give us this day our daily bread. (Mat. 6:11.) Neither have I 
gone- back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words 
of his mouth more than my necessary food. (Job. 23:12.) 

c. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly 
houses, and dwelt therein (12). Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou 
forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of 
Egypt; from the house of bondage. (Dt. 8:12, 14.) According to their 
pasture so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was ex- 
alted; therefore have they forgotten me. (Hos. 13:6.) 

d. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank 
thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, 
cr even as this publican. (Luke 18:11.) 

e. Go to the ant, thou sluggard: consider her ways, and be wise (6): 
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler (7). Provideth her meat in 
the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. (Prov. 6:6-8.) 

f. If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; 
for yielding pacifieth great offences. (Ecc. 10:4.) The nations shall s?e 
and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon 
their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. (Mic. 7:10.) Now we know that 
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the 
law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become 
guilty before God. (Rom. 3:19.)

The word virtuous has lost its orig-

chastity, as he had no other charac- 
ter in his mind, but the words "Virtu- 
ous" meant strong, valiant, noble-

Chapter 31. 

a. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn 
not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. 
(Dt. 17:17. ) Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet 
among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of 
his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him 
did outlandish women cause to sin. (Neh. 13:26.) For she hath cast 
down many wounded; yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 
(Prov. 7:26 ) 

b. Blessed art thou. O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, 
and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! 
(Ecc. 10:17.) 

c. Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with 
thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it 
shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations. (Lev. 10:9.) 
And it shall be. when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that 
he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is 
before the priests the Levites. (Dt. 17:1S.) 



d. Te shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not re- 
spect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in 
righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. (Lev. 19:15.) 

e. Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and 
him that had none to help him. (Job 29:12.) Learn to do well: seek 
judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the 
widow. (Is. 1:17.) He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then 
it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord. (Jer. 
22:16.) 

f. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, 
what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. (Ps. 4-1:1.) 
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices 
God is well pleased. (Heb. 13:16.) 

g. Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, 
that delighteth greatly in his commandments. (Ps. 112:1.) My son. for- 
get not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments (1). So 
shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and 
man. (Prov. 3:1, 4.) 



ECCLESIASTES 

OR, THE PREACHER 

NOTE. — The author of this book has been a subject of much consideration on the part of the critics. Solomcn was originally supposed to be the author. 
At present there are but few who hold This view, however they are unable to select anyone as author. The theme of the book is the path to true happiness. 
The author seeks to show the vanity of all mere pursuits when made the chief end of life as contrasted with the real blessedness of true wisdom, 1. e., 
religion. All is vanity without God. whose name occurs 43 times in the book while the name Jehovah is not mentioned. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The preacher sheweth that all human courses 
arc vain: 4 because the creatures are rest- 
less in their courses, 9 they bring forth 
nothing new, and all old things are forgot- 
ten. 

1 The words of the "Preacher, the son of 
David, king in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 Vanity 'of ^vanities, saith the Preacher, 
vanity of vanities; all is vanity. 

3 What 'profit hath a man of all his labour 
which he taketh under ^the sun? 

4 One generation passeth away, and anoth- 
er generation cometh: but the earth abideth 
for ever. 

5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth 
down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. 

6 The d wind goeth toward the south, and 
turneth about unto the north; it whirleth 
about continually, and the wind returneth 
again according to his circuits. 

7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the 
sea is not full; unto the place from whence 
the rivers come, thither they return again. 

8 All things are full of labour; man cannot 
utter it: 'the eye is not satisfied with seeing, 
nor the ear filled with hearing. 

9 The thing "that hath been, it is that which 
shall be; and that which is done is that which 
shall be done: and there is no new 'thing un- 
der the sun. 

10 Is there any thing whereof it may be 
said, See, this is new? it hath been already 
of old time, which was before us. 

11 There is no remembrance of former 
things; neither shall there be any remem- 
brance of things that are to come with those 
that shall come after. 

12 ^[ I the Preacher was king over is'ra-el 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13 And I gave my heart to seek and search 
out by wisdom concerning all things that are 
done under heaven: this sore travail hath God 
given to the sons of man to be exercised 
therewith. 

14 I have seen all the works that are done 
under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and 
vexation of spirit. 

15 That which is crooked cannot be made 
straight: and that which is wanting cannot be 
numbered. 



Ch. 1. B. C. S77. 



1. The author abruptly plunges 
into his subject by announcing that 
the struggle to satisfy the heart with 
worldly things is vain. Vanity of 
vanities is such a purpose. 



2. An expression occurring 24 
times iu this book but nowhere else 
in the scriptures and means "on the 
earth."

2. Delusive, unreal. 



3. That is. when made the chief 
_>nd or purpose. 



4. Accomplish. 



5. All things considered but for 
themselves alone were vanity. 



16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, 
Lo, I am come to great estate, and have ^got- 
ten more wisdom than all they that have been 
before me in Je-ru'sa-lem: yea, my heart had 
great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 

17 And ^1 gave my heart to know wisdom, 
and to know madness and folly: I perceived 
that this also is vexation of spirit. 

18 For ''in much wisdom is much grief: and 
he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sor- 
row. 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 The vanity of human courses in the works 
of pleasure. 12 Though the ivise be better 
than the fool, yet both have one event. 24 
Nothing better than joy in our labour. 

1 I said "in mine heart, Go ] to now, I will 
prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleas- 
ure: and, behold, this also is "vanity. 

2 I said 6 of laughter, It is "mad: and of 
mirth, What doeth 'it? 

3 I sought in mine heart to give c myself 
unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with 
wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might 
see what was that good for the sons of men, 
which they should do under the heaven all 
the days of their life. 

4 I made me great works; I builded me 
houses; I planted me vineyards: 

5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I 
planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: 

6 I made me pools of water, to water there- 
with the wood that bringeth forth trees: 

7 I got me servants and maidens and had 
servants born in my house; also I had great 
possessions of great and small cattle above 
all that were in Je-ru'sa-lem before me: 

8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and 
the peculiar treasure of kings and of the prov- 
inces: I gat me men singers and women sing- 
ers, and the delights of the sons of men, as 
musical instruments, and that of all sorts. 

9 So d I was great, and increased more than 
all that were before me in Je-ru'sa-lem: also 
my wisdom remained with me. 

10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept 
°not from them, I withheld not my heart from 
any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my la- 
bour: and c this was my portion of all my 
labour. 



Ref. Ecclesiastes. Chapter 1. 

a. See v. 12. 

b. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine 
age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is alto- 
gether vanity. Selah (5). Surely every man walketh in a vain show: 
surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not 
who shall gather them. (Ps. -39:5, 6.) Surely men of low degree are 
vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, 
they are altogether lighter than vanity. (Ps. 62:9.) For the creature 
was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath 
subjected the same in hope. (Rom. 8:20.) 

c. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and 
on the labor that I had labored to do: and, behold, all was vanity and 
vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. (Ecc. 2:11.) 
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth? (Ecc. 
3:9.) And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall 
he go: and what profit hath he that hath labored for the wind? (Ecc. 
5:16.) 

d. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound 
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is 
every one that is born of the Spirit. (Jno. 3:8.) 

e. Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never 
satisfied. (Prov. 27:20.) There is one alone, and there is not a second: 
yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his 
labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For 
whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, 
yea, it is a sore travail. (Ecc. 4:8.) 

f. Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee 
a wise and an understanding heart: so that there was none like thee 
before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. (I Ks. 
3:12.) And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of 
the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. (I Ks. 4:30.) 



g. All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it 
was far from me. (Ecc. 7:23.) Prove all things; hold fast that which is 
good. (I Thess. 5:21.) 

h. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many 
books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. (Ecc. 
12:12.) Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of 
this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world' (I 
Cor. 1:20.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up 
for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. (Luke 12:19.) 
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of 
fools is in the house of mirth. (Ecc. 7:4.) Then I commended mirth, 
because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to 
drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labor, the 
days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. (Ecc. 8:15.) 

b. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about 
with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye 
have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in 
sorrow. (Is. 50:11.) 

c. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry; but money 
answereth all things. (Ecc. 10:19.) And wine that maketh glad the 
heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which 
strengtheneth man's heart. (Ps. 104:15.) 

d. And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine 
own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom (6). Howbeit I believed not the 
words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half 
was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which 
I heard. (I Ks. 10:6, 7.)

the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the

r and madness, and folly: for what can the 
man do that cometh after the king? even that 
which hath been already done. 

13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, 
as far as light excelleth darkness. 

14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but 
the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself 
perceived also that ^one T event happeneth to 
them all. 

15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth 
to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and 
why was I then more wise? Then 1 said in 
my heart, that this also is 'vanity. 

16 For there is no remembrance of the wise 
more than of the fool for ever; seeing that 
which now is in the days to come shall all be 
forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as 
the fool. 

17 Therefore I hated life; because the work 
that is wrought under the sun is grievous 
unto me: for all is wanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

18 r Yea, I hated all my labour which I had 
taken under the sun: because I should leave 
it unto the man that shall be after me. 

19 And who knoweth whether he shall be 
a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rulo 
over all my labour - wherein I have laboured, 
and wherein I have shewed myself wise under 
the sun. This is also vanity. 

20 Therefore I went about to cause my 
heart to despair of all the labour which I took 
under the sun. 

21 For there is a man whose labour is in 
wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet 
to a man that hath not laboured therein shall 
he leave it for his portion. This also is wan- 
ity and a great evil. 

22 For what hath man of all his labour, 
and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he 
hath laboured under the sun? 

23 For all his days are ''sorrows, and his 
travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest 
in the night. This is also vanity. 

24 r There is nothing 'better for a man, 
than that he should eat and drink, and that 
he should make his soul enjoy good in his la- 
bour. This also I saw, that it was from the 
hand of God. 

25 For who can eat. or who else can hasten 
hereunto, more than I?

26 For God giveth : to a man that is good 
in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: 
but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather 
and to heap up. that he may give to him that 
is good before God. This also is. vanity and 
vexation of spirit. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 By the necessary change of times, vanity is 
added to human travail. 11 There is an ex- 
cellency in God's works. 16 As for man, 
God shall judge his works. 

I To every thing there is a 'season, and a 
a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

i A time to "be born, and a time to die; a 
time to plant, and a time to pluck up that 
which is planted; 

3 A c time to kill, and a time to heal; a 
time to break down, and a time to build up; 

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a 
time to mourn, and a time to "dance; 

•5 A time to cast away stones, and a time 
to gather stones together; a time to embrace, 
and a time to refrain from embracing; 

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time 
to keep, and a time to cast away; 

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time 
to keep silence, and a time to speak; 

8 A time to love, and a time ^to hate; a 
time of war, and a time of peace. 

9 What 'profit hath he that worketh in that 
wherein he laboureth? 

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath 
given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 

II He hath made every thing beautiful in 
his time: also he hath set the world in their 
heart, so that ''no man can find out the work 
that God maketh from the beginning to the 
end. 

12 I know that there is no good in them, 
but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his 
life. 

13 And also that every man should eat and 
drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, 
it is the gift of God. 

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it 
shall be for ever: ^nothing can be put to it, 
nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth 
it, that men should fear before him. 

1-5 That which hath been is now; and that 
which is to be hath already been; and God 
requireth that which is past. 

16 °" And moreover 7 T saw under the sun 
the place of judgment, that wickedness was 
there; and the place of righteousness, that in- 
iquity was there. 

17 I said in mine heart, 'God shall judge 



days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labor 
which thou .takest under the sun. (Ecc. 9:9.} Rejoice, O young man, in 
thy youth ; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and 
walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but 
know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. 
(Ecc. 31:9.) Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not 
high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who 
giveth us richly all things to enjoy. (I Tim. 6:17.) 

f. I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wis- 
dom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, evea 
of foolishness and madness (25). And I find more bitter than death the 
woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso 
pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken bv her. 
(Ecc. 7:25, 26.) See eh. 1:17. 

g. All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, 
and to the wicked: to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to 
him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so 
is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. (Ecc. 
9:2.) 

h. Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fiy upward. (Job 
5:7.) Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble 
(1). He- cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a 
1 . and continueth not. (Job 14:1, 2.) 

Chap 

a. Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore 
the misery of man is greatupon him. (Ecc. 8:6.) 

b.- And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the 
judgment (27j: was once offered to bear the sins of many: 

unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time with- 
out sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:27, i pre determined, 
the i his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds 
that he cannot pass. (Job 14:5.) 

c. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for 
in the image of God made he man. (Gen. 9:6.) 



d. If any man come to me. and hate not his father, and mother, and 
vviie. and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea. and his own life alsn. 
he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26.) A righteous man hateta ly 
but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. (Prov. 13:5.) I 

.will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that 
turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. (Ps. 101:3.) 

e. And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall 
he go: and what profit hath he that hath labored for the wind? (Ecc. 
5:16.) See ch. 2:11. See eh. 1:3. 

f. Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out 
the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labor to 
seek it out. yet he shall not find it: yea, farther; though a wise man 
think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. (Ecc. S:17.) O the 
depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God: how un- 
searchable are his judgments, and his wavs past finding out! (Rom. 
11:33.) 

g. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and com- 
eth down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, 
neither shadow of turning. (Js. 1:17.) 

h. If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting 
of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he 
that is higher than the highest resardeth; and there be higher than they. 
(Ecc. 5:8.) 

i. For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every 
man to find according to his ways. (Job 34:11.) Also unto thee. O Lord, 
belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his 
work. (Ps. 62:12.) I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even 
lo give every man according to h!s ways, and according to the fruit of 
his doings. (Jer. 17:10.) For the son of man shall come in the glory of 
his Father with his angels: and then he snail reward every man accorl 
ing to his works. (Mat. 16:27.) Who will render to every man accord- 
ing to his deeds. (Rom. 2:6.) For we must all appear before the judg- 
ment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his

the righteous and the wicked: for there is a 
time there for every purpose and for every 
work. 

18 I said in mine heart concerning- the es- 
tate of the sons of men, that God might mani- 
fest them, and that they might see that they 
themselves are beasts. 

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men 
befalieth beasts; even one thing befalleth 
them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, 
they have all one breath; so that a man hath 
no preeminence above a beast: for all is van- 
ity. 

20 All go unto one place; 'all are of the 
dust, and all turn to dust again. 

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that 
'•'goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast 
that goeth downward to the earth? 

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is noth- 
ing better, than that a man should rejoice in 
his own works; for that is his portion: for 
who 'shall bring him to see what shall be after 
him? 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Vanity is increased unto men by oppression. 
4 by envy, by idleness, 7 by covetousness, 
9 by solitariness, 13 by wilfulness. 

1 'So I returned, and considered all the op- 
pressions that are done under the "sun: and 
behold the tears of such as were oppressed, 
and they had no comforter; and on the side 
of their oppressors there was power; but they 
had no comforter. 

2 Wherefore "I praised the dead which are 
already dead more than the living which are 
yet alive. 

3 Yea, better is he than both they, which 
hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil 
work that is done under the sun. 

4 K Again, I considered all travail, and every 
right work, that for this a man is envied of 
his neighbour. This is also vanity and vex- 
ation of spirit. 

5 The & fool foldeth his hands together, and 
eateth his own flesh/ 

6 Better is an handful with quietness, than 
both the hands full with travail and vexation 
of spirit. 

7 r Then I returned, and I saw Vanity un- 
der the sun. 

8 There is one alone, and there is not a sec- 
ond; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: 
yet is there no end of all his labour; neither 
is his eye ''satisfied with riches; neither saith 
he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my

4. The word here rendered "second"

1. The author has now made a wide 
examination into the powers of man. 
to satisfy himself, and has found 
tlieui to be as vanity, therefore turns 
to the controlling power. "Whom no 
arts qf man can withstand." 



2. A fig. representing behavior, 
implying cautiousness. 



Opposed to considerate rever- 



soul of good? This is also Vanity, yea, it is 
a sore travail. 

9 Ii Two are better than one; because they 
have a good reward for their labour. 

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his 
fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he 
falleth; for he hath not another to help him 
up. 

11 Again, if two lie together, then they heat : 
but how can one be warm alone? 

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall 
withstand him; and a threefold cord is not 
quickly broken. 

13 II Better is a poor and a wise child than 
an old and foolish king, who will no more be 
admonished. 

14 For out of prison he cometh to reign ; 
whereas also he that is born in his kingdom 
becometh poor. 

15 I considered all the living which walk 
under the ~sun, with the ^second child that 
shall stand up in his stead. 

16 There is no end of all the people, even 
of all that have been before them: they also 
that come after shall not rejoice in him. Sure- 
ly this also is "vanity and vexation of spirit. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 Vanities in divine service, 8 in murmuring 
against oppression, 9 and in riches. 18 
Joy in riches is tne gift of God. 

1 'Keep "thy 'foot when thou goest to the 
house of God, and be more ready to hear, than 
Ho give the sacrifice of fools: for they con- 
sider not that they do evil. 

2 Be not rash "with thy mouth, and let not 
thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before 
God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon 
earth : therefore let c thy words be few. 

3 For a dream cometh through the multi- 
tude of business; and a fool's voice is known 
by multitude of words. 

4 When c7 thou vowest a vow unto God, defer 
not to d pay it; for he hath no pleasure in 
fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 

5 Better c is it that thou shouldest not vow, 
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh 
to sin; ''neither say thou before the angel, that 
it was an error: wherefore should God be 
angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of 
thine hands? 

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many 
words there are also divers vanities: but #fear 
thou God. 

8 If If thou seest the oppression of the poor, 



body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (II 
Cor. 5:10.) 

j. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return 
unto the ground: for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and 
unto dust shall thou return. (Gen. 3:19.h 

k. Then shalt the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit 
shall return uv.to God who gave it. (Ecc. 12:7.) And as it is appointed 
unto me once to die. but after this judgment (27). So Christ was once 
offered to bear the sins of many: and unto them that look for him shall 
he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:27, 28.) 
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books 
were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: 
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the 
books, according to their works. (Rev. 20:12.) 

1. His sons came to honor, and he knoweth it not; and they are 
brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. (Job 14:21.) Take there- 
fore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for 
the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Mat. 
G:64.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary 
be at rest. (Job 3:17.) Therefore I hated life; because the work that is 
wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation 
of spirit. (Ecc. 2:17.) 

b. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands 
to sleep (10). So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, and thy 
want as an armed man. (Prov. 6:10, 11.) 

c. Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never 
satisfied. (Prov. 27:20. i For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, 
and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but 
is of the world. (I Jno. 2:16.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And he said. Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off 
thy feet, lor the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. (Ex. 3:5.) 



God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had 
in reverence of all them that are about him. (Ps. 89:7.) Thy testimonies 
are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever. (Ps. 
93:5.) 

b. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but 
the prayer of the upright is his delight. (Pr. 15:8.) For I desired 
mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt 
offerings. (Hos. 6:6.) 

c. In a multitude of wcrds there wanteth not sin: but he that re- 
fraineth his lips is wise. (Prov. 10:19.) But when ye pray, use not vain 
repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard 
for their much speaking. (Mat. 6:7.) ' 

d. If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his 
soul with a bond; he shall not break his word; he shall do according to 
all that proceedeth out of his mouth. (Num. 30:2.) I wil! go into thy 
house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows. (Ps. 66:13.) Offer 
unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High. (Ps. 
50:14.) Vow, and pay unto the Lord j'our God: let all that be round 
about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. (Ps. 76:11.) 

e. Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, 
was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in 
thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. (Acts 5:4.) It is 
a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows 
to make enquiry. (Prov. 20:25.) 

f. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head be- 
cause of the angels. (I Cor. 11:10.) I charge thee before God, and the 
Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things 
without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. (1 
Tim. 5:21.) 

g. Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the 
Lord all the day long. (Prov. 23:17.) Wherefore we receiving a kingdom 
which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God 
acceptably with reverence and godly fear (28). For our God is a con- 
suming fire. (Heb. 12:28, 29.)

and violent perverting of judgment and justice 
in a province, marvel not at the matter: for 
; 'he that is higher than the highest regardeth; 
and there be higher than they. 

9 If Moreover the profit of the earth is for 
all : the king himself is served by the field. 

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satis- 
fied 'with silver; nor he that loveth abundance 
with increase: this is also "vanity. 

11 When goods increase, they are increased 
that eat them: and what good is there to the 
owners thereof, saving the beholding of them 
with their eyes? 

12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, 
whether he eat little or much : but the abun- 
dance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 

13 There is a sore evil which I have seen 
under the sun, namely, riches kept for the 
owners thereof to their hurt. 

14 But those riches perish by evil travail : 
and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing 
in his hand. 

15 As 'he came forth of his mother's womb, 
naked shall he return to go as he came, and 
shall take nothing of his labour, which he may 
carry away in his hand. 

16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all 
points as he came, so shall he go : and what 
profit hath he that hath laboured for the 
wind? 

17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, 
and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his 
sickness. 

18 T Behold that which I have seen : Ht is 
good and comely for one to eat and to drink, 
and to enjoy the good of all his labour that 
he taketh under the sun all the days of his 
life, which God giveth him: for it is his por- 
tion. 

19 Every man also to whom God hath given 
riches and wealth, and hath given him power 
to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to 
rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. 

20 For he shall not much remember the days 
of his life; because God ''"answereth him in the 
joy of his heart.

wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth noth- 
ing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet 
God h giveth him not power to eat thereof, but 
a stranger eateth it : this is Vanity, and it is 
an evil disease.

3 If If a man beget an hundred children, and 
live many years, so that the days of his years 
be many, and his soul be not filled with good, 
and c also that he have no burial; I say, that 
an untimely birth is better than he. 

4 For he cometh in with vanity, and de- 
parteth in darkness, and his name shall be 
covered with darkness. 

5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor 
known any thing: this hath more rest than 
the other. 

6 If Yea, though he live a thousand years 
twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not 
all go to one place? 

7 All d the labour of man is for his mouth, 
and yet the appetite is not filled. 

8 For what hath the wise more than the" 
fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to 
walk before the living? 

9 1f 'Better is the sight of the eyes than the 
wandering of the desire: this is also vanity 
and vexation of spirit. 

10 That which hath been is named already, 
and it is known that it is man: neither c may 
he contend with him that is mightier than he. 

11 If Seeing there be many things that in- 
crease vanity, what is man the better? 

12 For who knoweth what is good for man 
in this life, all the days of his vain life which 
he spendeth as fa shadow? for who can tell 
a man what shall be after him under the sun? 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Remedies against vanity are, a good name, 
2 mortification, 7 patience, 11 wisdom. 23 
The difficulty of wisdom. 

1 ! A good "name is better than precious 
ointment; and 6 the day of 2 death than the. day 
of one's birth. 

2 If It is better to go to the c house of 'mourn- 
ing, than to go to the house of feasting: for 
that is the end of all men; and the living will 
lay it to his heart. 

3 4 Sorrow is better than "laughter: for d by 
the sadness of the countenance the heart is 
made better. 

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of 
mourning; but the heart of fools is in the 
house of mirth. 

5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, 
than for a man to hear the song of fools. 

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a 
pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also 
is "vanity. 

7 If Surely oppression maketh a wise man 
mad; r and a gift destroyeth the heart. 

8 Better is the end of a thing than the be- 
ginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is 
better than the proud in spirit. 



h. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the right- 
eous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. (Ps. 58:11.) God 
standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 
(Ps. 82:1.) 

i. And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked 
shall I return thither; the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: 
blessed be the name of the Lord. (Job 1:21.) For we brought nothing 
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. (I Tim. 6:7.) 

j. Charge them that are rich ih this world, that they be not high- 
minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giv- 
eth us richly all things to enjoy. (I Tim. 6:17.) 

k. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy

b. But God naid unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be 
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast pro- 
vided? (Luke 12:20.) 

c. And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than 
the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. (II Ks. 9:35.) He 
shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and east forth beyond 
the gates of Jerusalem. (Jer. 22:19.) 

d. Up that laboreth laboreth for himself: for his mouth craveth it of 
birr,. (I'rov. 16:26.) But godliness with contentment is groat gain (6). 
For we brought nothing into ibis world, and it is certain we can carry 
nothing out (7). And having food and raiment let us be therewith con- 
tent. (I Tim. 6:0-8.) 

e. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we 
should come together in judgment. (Job 9:32.) Woe unto him that 



striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of 
the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest 
thou? or thy work. He hath no hands? (Is. 45:9.) 

f. My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like 
grass. (Ps. 102:11.) I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am 
tossed up and down as the locust. (Ps. 109:23.) Lord, what is man, 
that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest 
account of him! (3). Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow- 
that passeth away. (Ps. 144:3, 4.) Whereas ye know not what shall be 
on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth 
for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (Ja. 4:14.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving 
favor rather than silver and gold. (Prov. 22:1.) 

h. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and 
to be with Christ; which is far better. (Phil. 1:23.) And I heard a voice 
from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in 
the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest 
from their labors; and their works do follow them. (Rev. 14:13.) 

c. Blessed are thev that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Mat. 
5:4.) 

d. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be re- 
pented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (II Cor. 7:10.) 
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto 
children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint 
when thou art rebuked of him (5). For whom the Lord loveth he chas- 
teneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth (6). Now no chasten- 
ing for the present seemeth to he joyous, but grievous, nevertheless 
afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them 
which are exercised thereby. (Heb. 12:5, 6, 11.) 

e. And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and 
perverteth the words of the righteous. (Ex. 23:8.) Thou shalt not wrest

y Be 'not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: 
for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 
- 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the 
former days were better than these? for thou 
dost not enquire wisely concerning this. 

11 H Wisdom is good with an inheritance: 
and by it there is profit to them that see the 
sun. 

12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a 
defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, 
that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. 

13 Consider the work of God: for #who can 
make that straight, which he hath made 
crooked ? 

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but 
in the day of adversity consider: God also 
hath set the one over against the other, to 
the end that man should find nothing after 
him. 

15 All things have I seen in the days of my 
vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in 
his righteousness, and there is a wicked man 
that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 

16 ''Be not righteous over much; neither 
make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou 
destroy thyself? 

17 Be not over much wicked, neither be 
thou foolish : 'why shouldest thou die before 
thy time? 

18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold 
of this; yea, also from this withdraw not 
thine hand: for he that feareth God shall 
come forth of them all. 

19 Wisdom strengthened the wise more 
than ten mighty men which are in the city. 

20 ■'For there is not a just man upon earth, 
that doeth good, and sinneth not. 

21 T Also take no heed unto all wi»'ds that 
are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant s curse 
thee: 

22 For oftentimes also thine own heart 
knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed 
others. 

23 If All this have I proved by wisdom : I 
said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. 

24 That which is 'far off, and exceeding deep, 
who can find it out? 

25 I applied mine heart to know, and to 
search, and to seek out wisdom, and the rea- 
son of things, and to know the wickedness of 
^olly, even of foolishness and madness: 

26 And I find more bitter than death the 
woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and 
her hands as bands: '''whoso pleaseth God shall 
escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken 
by her.

preacher, counting one by one, to find out the 
account: 

28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find 
not: one man among a thousand have I found; 
but a woman among all those have I not 
found. 

29 Lo, this only have I found, that God 
'hath made man upright; but they have sought 
out many inventions. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 Kings are greatly to be respected. 12 It is 
better with the godly in adversity, than with 
the wicked in prosperity. 

1 'Who is as the wise man? and who know- 
eth the interpretation of a thing? a man's 
wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the 
boldness of his face shall be changed. 

2 I counsel thee to keep the king's com- 
mandment, °and that in regard of the oath of 
God. 

3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand 
not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever 
pleaseth him. 

4 Where the word of a king is, there is 
power: and who may say unto him, What 
doest thou? 

5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall 
feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart 
discerneth both time and judgment. 

6 II Because to every purpose there is time 
and judgment, "'therefore the misery of man 
is great upon him. 

7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: 
for who can tell him when it shall be? 

8 ''There is no man that hath power over 
the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath 
he power in the day of death: and there is 
no discharge in that war; neither shall wick- 
edness deliver those that are given to it. 

9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart 
unto every work that is done under the sun: 
there is a time wherein one man ruleth over 
another to his own hurt. 

10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who 
had come and gone from the place of the holy, 
and they were forgotten in the city where 
they had so done: this is also vanity. 

11 Because ^sentence against an evil work is 
not executed speedily, therefore the heart of 
the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 

12 If 3 Though a ''sinner do evil an hundred 
times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely 
I know that c it shall be well with them that 
fear God, which fear before him : 

13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, 
neither shall he prolong his days, which are 



judgment: thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift 
dolh blin'l the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 
(Dt. 16:19.) 

f He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that 
rule.h his spirit than he that taketh a city. (Prov. 16:32.) Wherefore, 
my be oved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, 
si .•", to wrath. (Ja. 1:19.) 

g. For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? 
and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? (Is. 14:27.) 

h. Concerning zeal, persecuting the church, touching the righteous- 
r. ?ss which is in the law, blameless. (Phil. 3:6.) For I say, through the 
face given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of 
himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, ac- 
cording as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. (Rom. 
12:3.) 

i. It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not 
be green. (Job 15:32.) But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into 
the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half 
their days; but I will trust in thee. (Ps. 55:23.) 

j. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my 
sin? (Prov. 20:9.) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of 
God. (Rom. 3:23.) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive our- 
selves, and the truth is not in us. (I Jno. 1:8.) 

k. And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife 
cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me (7). But he re- 
fused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not 
what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath 
to my hand (8). There is none greater in the house than I; neither hath 
he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how 
then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? (Gen. 39:7-9.) 

1. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created 
he him; male and female created he them. (Gen. 1:27.) 



Chapter S. 

a. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but 
also for conscience' sake. (Rom. 13:5.) Put them in mind to be subject 
to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every 
good work. (Tit. 3:1.) 

b. They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the mul- 
titude of their riches (6). None of them can by any means redeem his 
brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. (Ps. 49:6, 7.) Seeing his days 
are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast 
appointed his bounds that he cannot pass. .(Job 14:5.) 

c. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never 
be in adversity. (Ps. 10:6.) These things hast thou done, and I kept 
silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: 
but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. (Ps. 
50:21.) Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn right- 
eousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not 
behold the majesty of the Lord. (Is. 26:10.) 

d. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man 
that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years 
old: but the sinner being an hundred years old, shall be accursed. (Is. 
65:20.) But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto 
thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous 
judgment of God. (Rom. 2:5.) 

e. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight them- 
selves in the abundance of peace. (Ps. 37:11.) Then shall the King say 
unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the 
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Mat. 25:34.) 
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments which I 
command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy 
children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the 
earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) But 
whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from 
fear of evil. (Prov. 1:33.) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well 
with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. (Is. 3:10.)

as a shadow; because he feareth ^not before 
God. 

14 There is a vanity which is done upon the 
earth; that there be just men, unto whom it 
"happeneth according to the work of the wick- 
ed; again, there be wicked men, to whom it 
happeneth according to the work of the right- 
eous: I said that this also is vanity. 

15 Then I commended mirth, because a man 
hath no better thing under the sun, than to 
eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that 
shall abide with him of his labour the days of 
his life, which God giveth him under the sun. 

16 11 When I applied mine heart to know 
wisdom, and to see the business that is done 
upon the earth: (for also there is that neither 
day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes : ) 

17 Then I beheld all the work of God, thai 
''a man cannot find out the work that is done 
under the sun: because though a man labour 
to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea 
farther; though a wise man think to know it, 
yet shall he not -be able to find it. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 Like things happen to good and bad. 4 
There is a necessity of death unto men. 11 
God's providence ruleth over all. 13 Wis- 
dom is better than strength. 

1 'For all "this I considered in my heart 
even to Meclare all this, that the fl righteous, 
and the wise, and their works, are in the hand 
of God : no man knoweth either love or hatred 
by all that is before them. 

2 6 A11 things come alike to all: there is one 
4 event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to 
the good and to the clean, and to the unclean ; 
to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacri- 
ficeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; 
and he that sweareth, as he that feareth, an 
oath. 

3 This is an evil among all things that are 
done under the sun, that there is one *event 
unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of 
men is full of evil, and madness is in their 
heart while they live, and after that they go 
to the dead. 

4 If For to him that is joined to all the 
living there is hope: for a living dog is better 
than a dead lion. 

5 For the living know that they shall die: 
but c the dead know not any thing, neither 
have they any more a reward; for d the mem- 
ory of them is forgotten.

6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their 
envy, is now perished; neither have they any 
more a portion for ever in any thing that is 
done under the sun. 

7 11 Go thy way, 'eat thy bread with joy, 
and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for 
God now accepteth thy works. 

8 Let thy garments be always white; and 
let thy head lack no ointment. 

9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou 
lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, 
which he hath given thee under the sun, all 
the days of thy vanity: '"for that is thy por- 
tion in this life, and in thy labour which thou 
takest under the sun. 

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do 
it with thy might; for there is no work, nor 
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the 
grave, whither thou goest. 

11 1i I returned, and saw under the sun, that 
the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to 
the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor 
yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet 
favour to men of skill; but time and chance 
happeneth to them all. 

12 For 'man also knoweth not his time: as 
the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and 
as the birds that are caught in the snare; so 
are the sons of men ''snared in an evil time, 
when it falleth suddenly upon them. 

13 11 This wisdom have I seen also under the 
sun, and it seemed great unto me: 

14 There was a little city, and few men 
within it; and there came a great king against 
it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks 
against it: 

15 Now there was found in it a poor wise 
man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; 
yet no man remembered that same poor man. 

16 Then 'said I, Wisdom is better than 
strength : nevertheless -'the poor man's wisdom 
is despised, and his words are not heard. 

17 The '-"words of wise men are heard in 
quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth 
among fools. 

18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: 
but 'one sinner destroyeth much good.

g. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every 
morning. (Ps. 73:14.) The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool 
walketh in darkness; and I myself perceived also that one event hap- 
peneth to them all. (Etc. 2:14.) 

h. Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things 
without number. (Job 5:9.) 
Chapter 9. 

a. Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought 
all our works in us. (Is. 2G:12.) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves 
to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God. (II 
Cor. 3:5.) 

b. Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in 
power? (Job 21:7.) And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that 
work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 
(Mai. 3:15.) 

c. His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; and they are 
brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. (Job 14:21.) Doubtless 
thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel ac- 
knowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer: thy 
name is from everlasting. (Is. 63:16.) 

d. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine 
eyes are upon me, and I am not. (Job 7:8.) They are dead, they shall 
not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou vis- 
ited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. (Is. 
26:14.) 

e. Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing 
under the sun, than to eat. and to drink, and to be merry: for that 
: hall abide with him of his labor the days of his life, which God giveth 
him under the sun. (Ecc. 8:15.) 

f. And also that every nan should eat and drink, and enjoy the good 
of all his labor, it is the gift of God. (Ecc. 3:13.) Behold that which I 
h i ire seen: ; t is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to 

.. ii" I of all his labor that he taketh under the sun all the days 

life, which God giveth him; for it is his portion. (Ecc. 5:18.) 

g. Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore 



the misery of man is great upon him (6). For he knoweth not that which 
shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? (Ecc. 8:6, 7.) Watch 
therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come (42). But 
know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch 
the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suf- 
fered his house to be broken up (43). Therefore be ye also ready: for in 
such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (Mat. 24:42-44.) 
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write 
unto you (1). For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord 
so cometh as a thief in the night. (I Thess. 5:1, 2.) 

h. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the 
righteous doth sing and rejoice. (Prov. 29:6.) But God said unto him, 
Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall 
those things be, which thou hast provided? (Luke 12:20.) For when 
they shall say. Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon 
them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 
(I Thess. 5:3.) 

i. A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the 
strength of the confidence thereof. (Prov. 21:22.) A wise man is strong; 
yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. (Prov. 24:5.) For wisdom 
is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, 
that wisdom giveth life to them that have it (12). Wisdom strengthened 
the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. (Ecc. 
7:12, 19.) 

j. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the 
synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence 
hath this man these things? and what wisdom is that which is given unto 
him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? (Mk. 
6:2.) 

k. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no 
man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. (Jno. 10:29.) 

1. But. the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed 
thing: for Acham, the son of Carmi, the son Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of 
the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord 
was kindled against the children of Israel. (Josh. 7:1.)

so doth a little folly him that is in reputation 
for wisdom and honour. 

2 A wise 'man's heart is at his right hand; 
but a fool's heart at his left. 

3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh 
by the way, his wisdom faileth him, 6 and he 
saith to every one that he is a fool. 

4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against 
thee, leave not thy place; for 'yielding paci- 
fieth great offences. 

5 There is an evil which I have seen under 
the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the 
ruler : 

6 2 Folly is set in great dignity, and the 3 rich 
sit in low place. 

7 I have seen servants upon horses, and 
princes walking as servants upon the earth. 

8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; 
and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall 
bite him. 

9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt 
therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be 
endangered thereby. 

10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet 
the edge, then must he put to more strength: 
but wisdom is profitable to direct. 

11 Surely the serpent will d bite without en- 
chantment; and a babbler is no better. 

12 The words of a wise man's mouth are 
gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow 
up himself. 

13 The beginning of the words of his mouth 
is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mis- 
chievous madness. 

14 A fool also is full of words: a man can- 
not tell what shall be; and what shall be 
'after him, who can tell him? 

15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every 
one of them, because he knoweth not how to 
go to the city. 

16 1f Woe to thee, land, when thy king is 
a 4 child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 

17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king 
is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due 
season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! 

18 11 By much slothfulness the building de- 
cayeth; and through idleness of the hands the 
house droppeth through. 

19 f A feast is made for laughter, and wine 
maketh merry: but money answereth all 
things. 

20 If Curse not the king, no not in thy 
thought; and curse not the rich in thy- bed- 
chamber: for fa bird of the air shall carry the 
voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the 
matter.

and he that regardeth the clouds shall not 
reap.

womb of her that is with child : even so thou 
knowest not the works of God who maketh 
all. 

6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the 
evening withhold not thine hand: for thou 
knowest not whether shall prosper, either this 
or that, or whether they both shall be alike 
good. 

7 H Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant 
thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: 

8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice 
in them all; yet let him remember the days of 
darkness; for they shall be many. All that 
cometh is vanity. 

9 If Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth ; 
and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of 
thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, 
and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, 
that for all these things God e will bring thee 
into judgment. 

10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, 
and fput away evil from thy flesh: for child- 
hood and youth are Vanity. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 The Creator is to be remembered in due time. 
13 The fear of God is the chief antidote of 
vanity. 

1 'Remember "now thy Creator in the days 
of thy youth, while the evil days come not, 
nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, 
I have no pleasure in them ; 

2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, 
or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds 
return after the rain : 

3 In the day when the keepers of the house 
shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow 
themselves, and the grinders cease because 
they are few, and those that look out of the 
windows be darkened, 

4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, 
when the sound of the grinding is low, and he 
shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all 
the daughters of musick shall be brought 
low; 



Chapter 10. 

a. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) 

b. Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth 
open his folly. (Prov. 13:16.) 

c. And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this 
iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audi- 
ence, and hear the words of thine handmaid. (I Sam. 25:24.) By long 
forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 
(Prov. 25:15.) 

d. For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which 
will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord. (Jer. 
8:17.)

your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then 
vanisheth away. (Ja. 4:14.) 

f. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that if these 
should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. (Luke 
19:40.)

water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in 
no wise lose his reward. (Mat. 10:42.) And let us not be weary in well 
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not, (Gal. 6:9.) For

5 Also when they shall be afraid of that 
which is high, and fears shall be in the way, 
and the almond tree shall flourish, and the 
grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall 
fail: because man goeth to his long home, and 
the mourners go about the streets: 

6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the 
golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be bro- 
ken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at 
the cistern. 

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as 
it was: 6 and the spirit shall return unto God 
who gave it. 

8 r "Tanity of vanities, saith the preacher ; 
all is vanity. 

9 And moreover, because the preacher was 
wise, he still taught the people knowledge; 



2. The finale, which announces thai 
the proposition stated has been dem- 
onstrated. 



3. This book began with the van- 
ity of vanities, man's attempt to sat- 
isfy himself, and concludes by point- 
ing all things to God. who bringetb 
all things into judgment and taketh 
care of his own. 



| yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and 
| set in order many proverbs. 

10 The preacher sought to find out accept- 
able words: and that which was written was 
upright, even words of truth. 

11 The words of the wise are as goads, and 
as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, 
which are given from one shepherd. 

12 And further, by these, my son, be ad- 
monished: of making many books there is no 
end; and much study is a weariness of the 
flesh. 

13 H Let us hear the conclusion of the whole 
matter: °Fear God. and keep his command- 
ments: for this is the whole duty of man. 

14 For d God shall bring ''every work into 
judgment, with every secret thing, whether it 
be good, or whether it be evil. 



b. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit 
of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? (Eec. 3:21.) 

c. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin 
not. (Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a 
good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise 
endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) That all the people of the earth might 
know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the 
Lord your God for ever. (Josh. 4:24.) The fear of the Lord is to hate 
evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do 



I hate. (Prov. 8:13.) By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the 
fear of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

d. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, 
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. (Mat. 12:36.1 
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world 
in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained: whereof he hath 
given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 
I Acts 17:31.) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by 
Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Rom. 2:16.) Therefore judge notb 
ing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light 
the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of 
the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. (I Cor. 4:5.) 



THE 



SONG OF SOLOMON 



>,<>TE. — This has been stvled the "Song of Songs." which expresses its superior excellence, as the heaven of heavens is equivalent to the highest heaven; 
:is the holy of holies is equivalent to the most holy. Therefore the Song of Songs means the most excellent song. Its author is not definitely known. 
There are those who have always claimed Solomon as "the author, and others who believe the book was only written during his age and addressed to him. Jerome 
suvs that the Jews would not allow it to be read by anyone until he was. 30 years old because of its allegorical nature and typical signification, which render it 
difficult to be understood. It is universally conceded that the book presei ts a historical fact or rather a succession of events, which actually occurred, but that 
these facts are expressed in an allegorical manner. In the book the literal meaning of truth exists, but is of little value, save only as prefiguring aud 
suggesting some spiritual truth. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The church's love unto Christ. 5 She con- 
fesseth her deformity, 7 and prayeth to be 
directed to his flock. 8 Christ directeth her 
to the shepherds' tents: 11 and giveth her 
gracious promises. 

1 The °song of songs, which is Sol'o-mon's. 

2 Let him ^iss me with the kisses of his 
■mouth: for thy love is better than wine. 

3 Because of the savour of thy good oint- 
ments thy name is as ointment poured forth, 
therefore do the 2 virgins Hove thee. 

4 c Draiv me, we will run after thee: the 
king d hath brought me into his chambers: we 
will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will re- 
member thy love more than wine: the upright 
love thee. 

5 I am black, but comely, ye daughters of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, as the tents of Ke'dar, as the 
curtains of Sol'o-mon. 

6 Look not upon me, because I am black, 
because the sun hath looked upon me: my 
mother's children were angry with me; they 
made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine 
own vineyard have I not kept. 

7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, 
where thou feedest, where thou makest thy 
flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as 
one that tumeth aside by the flocks of thy com- 
panions? 

8 r If thou know not, thou fairest among 
women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of 
the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shep- 
herds' tents. 

9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a 
company of horses in Pha'raoh's chariots. 

10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of 
jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. 

11 We will make thee borders of gold with 
studs of silver. 

12 H While the king sitteth at his table, my 
°spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. 

13 A bundle of 4 myrrh is my wellbeloved 
unto me; he shall lie all night 5 betwixt my 
breasts. 

14 My beloved is unto me as a_ cluster of 
"camphire in the vineyards of 7 En-ge'di. 

15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, 
thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes. 

16 Behold, thou art fair, *my beloved, yea, 
pleasant: also our bed is green. 

17 The beams of our house are cedar, and 
our rafters of fir. 



Ch. 1. B. c. 1014. 



1. The passionate outbreak of love 
and devotion. 



2. In poetical language, as here, 
Virgin means candid. 



3. A lowly herb, the emblem of 
humility. 



4. Scented ointment or perfume. 



5. This clause is not in the orig- 
inal, which says. "It shall remain," 
meaning the myrrh. 



G. Cypress flowers. 



7. A fertile spot on the western 
shore of the Dead Sea. 



Ch. 2. B. C. 1014.

CHAPTER 2. 
1 The mutual love of Christ and his church. 
14 Christ's care of the church. 16 The pro- 
fession of the church, her faith and hope. 

1 / am the rose of 'Shdr'on, and the lily of 
the valleys. 

2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love 
among the daughters. 

3 As the apple tree among the trees of the 
wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat 
down under his shadoiv with great delight, 
"and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 

4 He brought me to the banqueting house, 
and his banner over me was love. 

5 Stay me with -flagons, comfort me with 
apples: for I am sick of love. 

6 His left hand is under my head, and his 
right hand doth embrace me. 

7 / charge you, O ye daughters of Je-ru'sa- 
lem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, 
that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he 
please. 

8 If The voice of my beloved! behold, he com- 
eth leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon 
the hills. 

9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: 
behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh 
forth at the windows, shelving himself through 
the lattice. 

10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise 
up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is 
over and gone; 

12 The floivers appear on the earth; the 
time of the singing of birds is come, and the 
voice of the turtle is heard in our land; 

13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, 
and the vines with the tender grape give a 
good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and 
come away. 

14 H O my dove, that art in the clefts of the 
rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me 
see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; 
for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is 
comely. 

15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that 
spoil the vines: for our vines have tender 
grapes. 

16 If h My beloved is mine, and I am his: he 
feedeth among the lilies. 

17 Until 'the day break, and the shadows 
flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou d like 
a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of 
"Be'ther. 



Ref. Song of Solomon. Chapter 1. 

a. And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a 
thousand and five. (I Ks. 4:32.) 

b. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, 
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. (Mat. 
25:1.) For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you 
as a chaste virgin to Christ. (II Cor. 11:2.) 

c. The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have 
loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving : kindness have 
I drawn thee. (Jer. 31:3.) I drew them with cords of a man, with 
bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on 
their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. (Hos. 11:4.) No man can come 
to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him. (Jno. 6:44.) 
And I, if I he lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (Jno. 
12:32.) Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, 
hut I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am 
apprehended of Christ Jesus (12). Brethren. I count not myself to have 
apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are 
behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before (13). I 
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in 
Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:12-14.) 

d. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I 
would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (Jno. 14:2.) . And 
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places 
in Christ Jesus. (Eph, 2:0.) She shall be brought unto the king iu rai- 



ment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall 
be brought unto thee (14). With gladness and rejoicing shall they bo 
brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. (Ps. 45:14, 15.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, 
proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb (1). In the midst 
of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree 
of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every 
month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 
(Rev. 22:1, 2.) 

h. I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among 
the lilies. (Song G:3.) I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. 
(Song 7:10.) 

c. To give knowledge of salvation unto his people, by the re- 
mission of their sins (TO, Through the tender mercy of our God; 
whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us (7S). To give light 
to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our 
feet into the way of peace. (Luke 1:77-79.) We have also a more sure 
word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a 
light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star 
arise in your hearts. (II Pet. 1:19.) Until the day break, and the 
shadows flee away. I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the 
hill of frankincense. (Song 4:6.) 

d. Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a 
young hart upon the mountain of spices. (Song S:14.)

SOLOMON'S SONG 



Ch. 5 B. C. 1014 



CHAPTER 3. 

1 The church's fight and victory in temptation. 

6 The church glorieth in Christ. 

1 'By "night on my bed I sought him whom 
my soul loveth : I sought him, but I found him 
not. 

2 I will rise now, and go about the city in 
the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek 
him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I 
found him not. 

3 The watchmen that go about the city 
found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom 
my soul loveth? 

4 It was but a little that I "passed from 
them, but I found 6 him whom my soul loveth : 
I held him, and would not let him go, until 
I had brought him into my mother's house, 
and into the chamber of her that conceived 
me. 

5 I charge you, 3 y e daughters of Je-ru- 
sa-lem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the 
field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, 
till he please. 

6 ^ c Who is this 1 that cometh out of the wil- 
derness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with 
myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of 
the merchant? 

7 Behold his bed, which is SSl'o-mon's; 
threescore valiant men are about it, of the 
valiant of Is'ra-el. 

8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: 
every man hath his sword upon his thigh be- 
cause of fear in the night. 

9 King Sol'o-mon made himself a chariot of 
the wood of Leb'a-non. 

10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, 
the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it 
of purple, the midst thereof being paved with 
love, for the daughters of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

11 Go forth, ye daughters of 5 Zi'6n, and 
behold king Sol'o-mon with the crown where- 
with his mother crowned him in the 'May of 
his espousals, and in the day of the gladness 
of his heart. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Christ setteth forth the graces of the church. 
16 The church prayeth to be made fit for his 
presence. 

1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, 
thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within 
thy locks : thy hair is as a 'flock of goats, that 
appear from mount Gil'e-ad. 

2 Thy teeth 2 are like a flock of sheep that 
are even shorn, which came up from the wash- 
ing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is 
barren among them. 

3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and 
thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a 
piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. 

4 Thy neck is like the tower of Da'vid build- 
ed a for an armoury, whereon there hang a 
thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. 



Ch. 3. B. C. 1014. 



1. At night when the mind is shut 
within itself and revels in fine memo- 
ries, in tenderness and anxiety she 
longs tor hinj. 



2. Scarcely had I passed from 
them. 



The court ladies. 



4. The scene here changes from the 
country to the king's palace. 



Women of Jerusalem.

1. The hair of goats of the east is 
very fine, like silk, hence the compari' 
son.

mility. 



Ch. 5. B. C. 1014. 



1. Signifies that sympathies werr» 
aroused. 



5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes 
that are twins, which feed among the lilies. 

6 Until the day break, and the shadoivs flee 
away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, 
and to .the hill of frankincense. 

7 6 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no 
spot in thee. 

8 If Come with me from Leb'a-non, my 
spouse, with me from Leb'a-non: look from 
the top of 3 Am'a-na, from the top of She'nir 
and Her'mon, from the lions' dens, from the 
mountains of the leopards. 

9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, 
my c spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with 
one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. 

10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my 
spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! 
and the smell of thine ointments than all 
spices! 

11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honey- 
comb: d honey and milk are under thy tongue; 
and the smell of thy garments is like the' smell 
of Leb'a-non. 

12 A garden inclosed 5 is my sister, my 
spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. 

13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegran- 
ates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with 
"spikenard, 

14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cin- 
namon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh 
and aloes, with all the chief spices: 

15 A fountain of gardens, a well of c living 
waters, and streams from Leb'a-non. 

16 If Awake, O north wind; and come, thou 
south; blow upon my garden, that the spices 
thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come 
into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 Christ atvaketh the church with his calling. 
2 The church having a taste of Christ's 
love is sick of love. 

1 I am a come into my garden, my sister, my 
spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my 
spice; I have eaten my honeycomb tuith my 
honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: 
eat, O ^friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, 
O beloved. 

2 1/ sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the 
voice of my beloved c that knocketh, saying, 
Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my 
undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and 
my locks with the drops of the night. 

3 / have put off my coat; hovj shall I put it 
on? I have washed my feet; how shall I de- 
file them? 

4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole 
of the door, and my bowels were moved for 
him. 

5 / rose up tt> open to my beloved; and my 
hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers 
with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles 
of the lock. 

6 / opened to my beloved; but my beloved 



Chapter 3. 

a. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my 
spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in 
the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. (Is. 
26:9.) 

b. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall 
find me. (Prov. 8:17.) He that hath my commandments, and kecpeth 
them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved 
of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 
(Jno. 14:21.) 

c. Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon 
her beloved? (Song 8:5.)

b. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not hav- 
ing spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and 
without blemish. (Eph. 5:27.)

espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin 
to Christ. (II Cor. 11:2.) And there came unto me one of the seven 
angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and 



talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the 
Lamb's wife. (Rev. 21:9.) 

d. My Son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb 
which is sweet to thy taste (13). So shall the knowledge of wisdom be 
unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, 
and thy expectation shall not be cut off. (Prov. 24:13, 14.) 

e. Jesus answered and said unto her. If thou knewest the gift of 
God, and who it is saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have 
asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. (Jno. 4:10.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with 
him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. (Ps. 91:15.) See ch. 
4:16. 

b. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sin- 
ner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which 
need no repentance. (Luke 15:7.) He that hath the bride is the bride- 
groom, but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth 
him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy 
therefore is fulfilled. (Jno. 3:29.) Ye are my friends, if ye do whatso- 
ever I command you. (Jno. 15:14.) 

c. Unto you, O men, I call: and my voice is to the sons of mnn 
(Prov. 8:4.) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my 
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, 
and he with me. (Rev. 3:20.)

had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my 
soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but 
I could not find him; I called him, but he gave 
hie no answer. 

7 The watchmen that tvent about the city 
found me, they smote vie, they wounded me; 
the keepers of the walls took away my vail 
from me. 

8 / charge you, daughters of Je-ru'sa-lem, 
if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I 
am sick cf love. 

9 H What is thy beloved more than another 
beloved, O thou fairest among women? ivhat 
is thy beloved more than another beloved, that 
thou dost so charge us? 

10 My beloved is white and, ruddy, the chief- 
est among ten thousand. 

11 His head is as the most fine gold, his 
locks are bushy, and black as a raven. 

12 d His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the 
rivers of ivaters, tuashed with milk, and 'fitly 
set. 

13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as 
sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping 
sweet smelling myrrh. 

14 His hands are as gold rings set with the 
beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid 
with sapphires. 

15 His legs are as pillars of marble, set 
upon sockets of fine gold: his ^ countenance is 
as Leb'a-non, excellent as the cedars. 

16 e His ''mouth is most sweet: yea, he is al- 
together lovely. This is my beloved, and this 
is my friend, O daughters of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 The church professeth her faith in Christ. 
4 Christ sheweth the graces of the church, 
10 and his love towards her. 

1 Whither is thy beloved gone, a O thou fair- 
est among women? whither is thy beloved 
turned aside? that we may seek him with thee. 

2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, 
to the beds of spices, to 6 feed in the gardens, 
and to gather lilies/ 

3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is 
mine: he feedeth among the lilies. 

4 f Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tir'- 
zah, comely as Me-ru'sa-lem, c terrible as an 
army with banners. 

5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they 
have 2 overcome me: thy hair is d as a flock of 
goats that appear from Gil'e-ad. 

6 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which 
go up from the washing, whereof every one 
beareth twins, and there is not one barren 
among them. 

7 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy tem- 
ples within thy locks. 

8 There are threescore queens, and four- 
score concubines, and virgins without number. 

9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is 



2. That is, as a stone beautifully 
set in the foil of a ring. 



3. His whole mien and beariag. 



4. His voice. 



Ch. 6. B. C. 1014. 



1. The perfection of duty. 



2. Unmanned. 



The maids-in-waiting. 



4. A humble country girl. Shu- 
nem, a little village; the residence of 
Abishag, the last wife of David: also 
the liuiue of the woman whose son 
Elisha restored to life. 



Ch. 7. B. C. 1014. 



1. The sandals of eastern ladies 
were highly ornamented and much no- 
ticed. 



2. Girdle clasp. 



3. Thy waist. (R. V.) 



4. Like a tower for symmetry 
and stateliness and ivory for white- 
ness. 



5. The fragrance of thy breath, 



the only one of her mother, she is the choice 
one of her that bare her. The daughters saw 
her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the 
concubines, and they praised her. 

10 H Who is she that looketh forth as the 
morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, 
and terrible as an army with banners? 

11 I went down into the garden of nuts to 
see the fruits of the valley, and c 'to see wheth- 
er the vine nourished, and the pomegranates 
budded. 

12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me 
like the chariots of Am-mln'a-dib. 

13 Return, return, O 4 Shu'lam-ite; return, 
return, that we may look upon thee. What 
will ye see in the Shu'lam-ite? As it were the 
company of two armies. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 A further description of the church's graces. 
10 The church professeth her faith and de- 
sire. 

1 How beautiful are 'thy feet with shoes, O 
prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are 
like jewels, the work of the hands of a cun- 
ning workman. 

2 Thy mavel is like a round goblet, which 
wanteth not liquor: thy 3 belly is like an heap 
of wheat set about with lilies. 

3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes 
that are twins. 

4 Thy neck is as a 4 tower of ivory; thine 
eyes like the fishpools in Hesh'bSn, by the gate 
of Bath-rab'bim: thy nose is as the tower of 
Leb'a-non which looketh toward Da-mas'cus. 

5 Thine head upon thee is like Car'mel, and 
the hair of thine head like purple; the king 
is held in the galleries. 

6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O 
love, for delights! 

7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, 
and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. 

8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I 
will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also 
thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, 
and the smell of thy 5 nose like apples; 

9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best 
wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, 
causing the lips of those that are asleep to 
speak. 

10 If I "am my beloved's, and his desire is 
toward me. 

11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into 
the field; let us lodge in the villages. 

12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; 
let us 6 see if the vine nourish, whether the 
tender grape appear, and the pomegranates 
bud forth: there will C I give thee my loves. 

13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our 
gates d are all manner of pleasant fruits, new 
and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my 
beloved. 



d. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast 
doves' eyes. (Song 1:15.) Neither is there any creature that is not mani- 
fest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of 
him with whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) His head and his hairs 
were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of 
lire. (Rev. 1:14.) 

e. More to be desired are tney than gold, yea, than much fine gold: 
sweeter also than honey and the honey comb. (Ps. 19:10.) Thy words 
were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and 
rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of 
hosts. (Jer. 15:16.) And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gra- 
cious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not 
this Joseph's son? (Luke 4:22.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: 
for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, 
saith the Lord God. (Ez. 16:14.) 

b. The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, 
he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy 
over thee with singing. (Zeph. 3:17.) 

c. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carrral, but mighty 
through God to the pulling down of strong holds) (4); Casting down 
imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowl- 
edge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience 
of Christ. (II Cor. 10:4, 5.) 

d. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast 



doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that ap- 
pear from mount Gilead. (Song 4:1.) 

e. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree, he shall grow like 
a cedar in Lebanon (12). Those that be planted in the house of the 
Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God (13). They shall still bring 
forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing. (Ps. 92:12-14.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto 
God (19). I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but 
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by 
the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 
(Gal. 2:19, 20.) I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine; he feedeth 
among the lilies. (Song 6:3.) 

b. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own 
selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, 
except ye be reprobates? (II Cor. 13:5.) 

c. For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of 
Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of 
them in the. land, serve me: there will I accept tlaem, and there will I 
require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your 
holy things. (Ez. 20:40.) 

d. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instruct- 
ed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an house- 
holder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. 
(Mat. 13:52.) -

SOLOMON'S SONG 



B. C. 1014 



CHAPTER 8. 
1 The love of the church to Christ. 6 The 
vehemency of love. 8 The calling of the 
Gentiles. 

1 O that thou wert 1 as my brother, that 
sucked the breasts of my mother! when I 
should find thee without, I would kiss thee; 
yea, I should not be despised. 

2 / would lead thee, and bring thee into my 
mother's house, ivho would instruct me: I 
would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of 
the juice of my pomegranate. 

3 a His left hand should be tinder my head, 
and his right hand should embrace me. 

4 / charge you, O daughters of Je-ru'sa- 
lem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, 
until he please. 

5 Who is this that cometh up from the wil- 
derness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised 
thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother 
brought thee forth : there she brought thee 
forth that bare thee. 

6 f Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a 
seal upon thine arm: & for love is strong as 
death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals 
thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most 
"vehement flame. 



Ch. 8. B. C. 1014. 



1. As innocently familiar 
own brother. 



2. The fire flame of Jehovah. 



The Mount of Transfiguration. 



7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither 
can the floods drown it: if a man would give 
all the substance of his house for love, it 
would utterly be contemned. 

8 1[ We' "have a little sister, and she hath no 
breasts: what shall we do for our sister in 
the day when she shall be spoken for? 

9 If she be a wall, we will build upon her 
a palace of silver: and if she be a d door, we 
will inclose her with boards of cedar. 

10 I f am a wall, and my ^breasts like tow- 
ers: then was I in his eyes as one that found 
"favour. 

11 Sol'o-mon had a vineyard at Ba'al-ha'- 
mon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; 
every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a 
thousand pieces of silver. 

12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before 
me: thou, Sol'o-mon, must have a thousand, 
and those that keep the fruit thereof two hun- 
dred. 

13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the 
companions hearken to thy voice: cause me 
to hear it. 

14 11 oMake haste, my beloved, and be thou 
like to a roe or to a young hart upon the 
mountains of spices. 



Chapter S. 

a. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my 
strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I 
rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon 
me. (II Cor. 12:9.) 

b. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency 
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered 
the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win 
Christ. (Phil. 3:8.) 

c. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: 
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. (Ps. 
.22:27.) 

d. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my 



voice, and open the door; I will come in to him, and will sup with him,, 
and he with me. (Rev. 3:20.) 

e. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye 
have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. (Col. 2:7.) 

f. I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou 
hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent orna- 
ments: thy breasts are fashioned and thine hair is grown, whereas thou 
wast naked and bare. (Bz. 1G:7.) 

g. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hear- 
eth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will 
let him take the water of life freely (17). He which testifieth these things" 
saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come. Lord Jesus (Rev 
22:17, 20.) 



THE BOOK OF THE 

PROPHET ISAIAH 



NOTE.— Isaiah lived midway between Moses and Christ. The book is placed in the Hebrew Bible as the bead of the prophetic writings!. The writei 
rebukes the wicked, hypocritical Jews, exhorts them to repentance, and assures them of pardon, if they repent. In the boldest and most eloquent language he 
bedicts the overthrow and utter destruction of the great wicked cities of the ancient world. He portrays in the most graphic manner the sufferings and the 
glory of Christ, the future Messiah, the universal extension of his kingdom, the glory and happiness under his beneficent sway; and, in language of incomparable 
grandeur, h" sets forth the attributes and prerogatives of Jehovah. Upon the whole his prophecies are considered one of the most wonderful books of the ancient 
world. The book naturally sub-divides itself into three parts: the first 35 chs. constitute a series of prophecies, dealing with the political, social and moral con- 
ditions, and outlook of the chosen people; the second division of 5 chs. is largely historical and treats of the time of llezekiah. The third division, comprising 
the last 2(3 chs.. has been called the Book of Cousolation, because the author treats so copiously of the attributes of Jehovah and of the reign of Christ, the 
coming Messiah. This portion of the book has been called The Evangelical Prophecies. 

There are three schools of opinion concerning the authorship of this book. First, that Isaiah is the author, which opinion was universally accepted until the 
12th century, when Alien Ezra, a distinguished Spanish rabbi, intimated that the prophecies of the last part of the book were written by King Jeeholiah at the 
time of the Babylonian captivity. No particular attention, however, was paid to the criticism till 1780, when J. B. Koppe, Prof, at Gottengen, opened the 
attack concerning the author, claiming that Isaiah himself wrote not more than half the book. This school advances the opinion that Isaiah wrote about half 
of the book, that another wrote the middle or historical section, and that another (an unknown Isaiah) wrote the third or last division. The third school claimed 
that Isaiah wrote scarcely half the book, while many and various authors contributed toward the remaining part. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Icaiah complaineth of Judah for Iter rebel- 
lion. 5 He lamenteth her judgments. 16 
He exhorteth to repentance. 21 He denounc- 
eth God's judgments. 25 He promiseth 
grace, 28 and threateneth destruction to the 
wicked. 

1 The "vision of 'I-ia'iah the son of A'moz, 
which he saw concerning Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa- 
lem in the days of Uz-zl'ah, Jo'tham, A'haz, 
and Hez-e-ki'ah, kings of Ju'dah. 

2 Hear, heavens, and give ear, earth: 
for the 'Lord hath spoken, I have nourished 
and brought up children, and they have re- 
belled against me. 

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his 
master's crib: but is'ra-el doth 6 not know, my 
people doth not consider. 

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with in- 
iquity, r a seed of evildoers, children that are 
corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they 
have provoked the 4 Koly One of Is'ra-el unto 
anger, they are r 'gone away backward. 

5 U Why should ye be stricken any more? 
ye will ^revolt more and more: the whole head 
is sick, and the whole heart faint. 

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the 
head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, 
and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have 
not been closed, neither bound up, neither mol- 
lified with ointment. 

7 Your country is desolate, your cities are 
burned with fire: your land, strangers devour 
it in your presence, and it is desolate, as over- 
thrown by strangers. 

8 And the daughter of Zi'on is left as a cot- 
tage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of 
cucumbers, as a besieged city. 

9 Except the Lord of hosts had left imto us 
a very small remnant, we should have been as 
Sod'om, and we should have been like unto 
Go-mor'rah. 

10 II Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of 
Sod'om; give ear unto the law of our God, ye 
people of Go-mor'rah. 



Ch. 1. B. c. 760. 

NOTE.— Chs. 1-G relate 1 to the peo- 
ple's hardening their hearts. 



1. A prophet under the reigns of 
Uzziah, Jotliam, Aha/, and Hezekiah, 
kings of Judah. According to the Jew- 
ish tradition. Isaiah was either a 
brother or nephew of King Amaziah. 
The age in which this prophet lived 
was one of the most critical in his- 
tory, as it was an age when the true 
mission of Israel was in need of uct 
ing especially emphasized, and to this 
misni-u Isaiah was divinily calh'J 
His public service covered about 22 
years. 

Isaiah was a resident and native 
of Jsi-jsilem. Ilk: Elijah, his ir ss 
was hairy-sackcloth, the symbol of 
repentance. (Is. 22:12) — "And iu 
that day did the Lord God of hosts 
call to weeping and to mourning and 
to baldness and to girding with sack- 
cloth." Thus his very appearance 
constantly admonished the people, 
"Repent, repent!" 



2. The Hebrew. Jehovah, a name 
which the Jews never uttered, but 
used Adonai instead, which means 
Master, Lord. 



Alas! 



4. This phrase is used by Isaiah 
more than any other of the prophets. 
It frequently occurs throughout the 
Book of Isaiah, and is taken by some 
as a proof that Isaiah wrote the 
whole of the book. 



5. Alienated or" separated. 



G. A rude, temporary shelter 
erected in the open grounds. 



7. Justice. 



8. Vs. 21-31 contain an exclama- 
tion against the city. 



11 To what purpose is the multitude of 
your Sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am 
full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the 
fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the 
blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 

12 When ye come to appear before me, who 
hath required this at your hand, to tread my 
courts? 

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is 
an abomination unto me; the new moons and 
sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot 
away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn 
meeting. 

14 Your new moons and your appointed 
feasts my soul hateth : they are a trouble unto 
me; I am weary to bear them. 

15 And ^when ye spread forth your hands, 
I will hide mine eyes from you : yea, when 
ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your 
hands are full of blood. 

16 H Wash you, make you clean; put away 
the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; 
y cease to do evil; 

17 Learn to do well; ''seek 'judgment, re- 
lieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead 
for the widow. 

18 Come now, and let us reason together, 
saith the Lord: though your sins be as scar- 
let, they shall be as white as snow; though 
they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 

19 If 'ye be willing and obedient, ye shall 
eat the good of the land: 

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be 
devoured with the sword: for the mouth of 
the Lord hath spoken it. 

21 IFHow is the faithful city become an 
harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness 
lodged in it; but now murderers. 

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine 
mixed with water: 

23 Thy princes are ^'rebellious, and compan- 
ions of thieves : every one loveth gifts, and 
followeth after rewards: they judge not the 
fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow 
come unto them. 



Ref. Isaiah. Chapter 1. 

a. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among 
you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will 
speak unto him in a dream. (Num. 12:6.) Of which salvation the proph- 
ets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace 
that should come unto you. (I Pet. 1:10.) For the prophecy came not in 
old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were 
moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Pet. 1:21.) 

b. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they 
are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil 
to evil, and they know not me* saith the Lord. (Jer. 9:3.) 

e. O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the 
wrath to come? (Mat. 3:7.) Thou shalt not be joined with them in 
burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the 
seed of evil-doers shall never be renowned. (Is. 14:20.) Therefore as 
the fire devourelh the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so 
their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; 
because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised 
the word of the Holy One of Israel. (Is. 5:24.) 

d. O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken 
them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they 
have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder 
than a rock; they have refused to return. (Jer. 5:3.) 

e. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, 
to have been continually before me. (Ps. 50:8.) He that killeth an ox 
is as if he slew a man: he that sacriflceth a lamb, as if he cut off 
a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; 



he that burnetii incense as if he blessed an idol. Yea, thoy have chosen 
their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. (Is. 
06:3.) To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the 
sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, 
nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. (Jer. 6:20.) 

f. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall 
seek me early but they shall not find me. (Prov. 1:28.) And Solomon 
stood before the altar of the Lord, in the presence of all the congregation 
of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven. (I Ks. 8:22.) And I 
will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob,, 
and I will look for him. (Is. 8:17.) 

g. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; 
cleave to that which is good. (Rom. 12:9.) They said, Turn ye again 
now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and: 
dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers 
for ever and ever. (Jer. 25:5.) 

h. He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the 
Lord require of thee, but to do justlv, and to love mercy, and to walk 
humbly with thy God? (Mic. 6:8.) 

i. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto 
the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his command- 
ments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set 
thee on high above all nations of the earth. (Dt. 28:1.) 

j. All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the 
wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will 
love them no more: all their princes are revolters. (Hos. 9:15.)

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of

ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me 
of mine enemies: 

25 II And I will turn my hand upon thee,

away all thy tin: 

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the

27 Zi'on shall be redeemed with judgment, 
and her converts with righteousness. 

28 1f And the destruction of the transgress- 
ors and of the sinners shall be together, and 
they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed. 

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks 
which ye have desired, and ye shall be con- 
founded for the gardens that ye have chosen. 

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf 
fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. 

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the 
maker of it as a spark, and they shall both 
burn together, and none shall quench them.

kingdom. 6 Wickedness is the cause of 
God's forsaking. 10 He exhorteth to fear, 
because of the powerful effects of God's maj- 
esty.

saw concerning Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, 
"that the mountain of the "Lord's house shall 
be established in the top of the mountains, and 
shall be exalted above the hills; and all na- 
tions shall flow unto it. 

3 And many people sliall go and say, Come 
ye, and let us go up to the mountain *of the 
Lord, to the house of the God of J a' cob; and 
he will teach us of his ways, and we ivill walk 
in his paths: h for out of Zi'on shall go forth 
the law, and the word of the Lord from Je- 
ru'sa-lem. 

A And he c shall judge '"among the nations, 
and shall rebuke many people: and they shall 
beat their swords into plowshares, and their 
spears into pruninghooks : nation shall not lift 
up sivord against nation, neither shall they 
learn ivar any more.

walk in the light of the Lord. 

6 f Therefore thou hast forsaken thy peo- 
ple the house of Ja'cob, because they be re- 
plenished from the east, and are soothsayers 
like the Phi-lis'tine§, and they please them- 
selves in the children of strangers. 

7 Their land also is full of 'silver and gold, 
neither is there any end of their treasures; 
their land is also full of horses, neither is 
there any end of their chariots:

their own fingers have made:

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, 
and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed

that day. 

12 ''For the day of the Lord of hosts shall

20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of

each one for himself to worship, to the moles 
and to the bats;

into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of 
the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,

Chapter 2. 

a. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of 
the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the moun- 
tains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto 
it. (Mic. 4:1.) Then was the iron, the c'ay, the brass, the silver, and the 
gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the sum- 
mer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was 
found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great 
mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Dan. 2:35.) And I looked, and 
lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion and with him an hundred forty and 
four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 
(Rev. 14:1.) 

b. Ye worship yc know not what: we know what we worship: 
for salvation is of the Jews. (Jno. 4:22.) 

c. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment 
unto the Son. (Jno. 5:22.) 

d. As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are of- 
fered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the 
world, and that there is none other God but one. (I Cor. 8:4.) 

e. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and 
to the hills, Cover us. (Luke 23:40.) And said to the mountains and 



rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the 
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. (Rev. 6:16.) And in those 
days shall _nen seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, 
and death shall floe from them. (Rev. 9:6.) 

f. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 
(Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good 
understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise en- 
dureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole 
matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole 
duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) That all the people of the earth might know 
the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord 
your God for ever. (Josh. 4:24.) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: 
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I 
hate. (Prov. 8:13.) By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the 
foar of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

g. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once it is a little while, and 
I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. 
(Hag. 2:6.) Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath prom- 
ised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 
(Heb. 12:26.) 

h. Labor not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. (Prov. 23:4.) 
Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and

bour: the child shall behave himself proudly 
against the ancient, and the base against the 
honourable. 

6 When a man shall take hold of his brother 
of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast 
clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin 
be under thy hand: 

7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will 
not be an healer; for in my house is neither 
bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of 
the people. 

8 For Je-ru'sa-lem is ruined, and Ju'dah is 
fallen: because their tongue and their doings 
are against the Lord, to "provoke the eyes of 
his glory. 

9 % The shew of their countenance doth wit- 
ness against them; and they declare their sin 
as Sod'om, they hide it not. Woe unto their 
soul! for they have rewarded evil unto them- 
selves. 

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be 
well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of 
their doings. 

11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with 
him: for the reward of his hands shall be 
given him. 

12 If As for my people, children are their 
oppressors, and women rule over them. my 
people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, 
and destroy the way of thy paths. 

13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and 
standeth to judge the people. 

14 The Lord will enter into judgment with 
the ancients of his people, and the princes 
thereof: for ye have eaten up 6 the vineyard; 
the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 

15 What mean ye that ye beat my people 
to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? 
saith the Lord God of hosts. . 

16 11 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the 
daughters of Zi'on are haughty, and walk with 
stretched forth necks and 4 wanton eyes, walk- 
ing and ^mincing as they go, and making a 
tinkling with their feet: 

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a 
"scab the crown of the head of the daughters 
of Zi'on, and the Lord will discover their 
secret parts. 

18 In that May the Lord will take away the 
bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their 
feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like 
the moon, 

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the 
mufflers,

hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own 
bread, and wear our own apparel : only let us 
be called by thy name, to take away our re- 
proach.

be beautiful and glorious, and the a fruit of the 
earth shall be excellent and comely for them 
that are escaped of Is'ra-el.

that is written h among the living in Je-ru'sa-

the 3 filth of the daughters of Zi'on, and shall 
have purged the blood of Je-ru'sa-lem from the 
midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by 
the spirit of burning. 

5 And the Lord will create upon every dwell- 
ing place of mount Zi'on, and upon her assem-

ing of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the 
glory shall be d a defence.

1 Now ^vill I sing 2 to my wellbeloved a song 
of my beloved touching "his 3 vineyard. My 
wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful 
hill: 

2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the 
stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest 
Vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and 
also made a winepress therein: 6 and he looked 



maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. (Jer. 
17:5.) I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, 
as a thirsty land. Selah. (Ps. 143:6.) 
Chapter 3. 

a. Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the 
plague brake in upon them. (Ps. 106:29.) And let us consider one an- 
other to provoke unto love and to good works. (Heb. 10:24.) Harden not 
your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wil- 
derness (8). While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden 
not your hearts, as in the provocation. (Heb. 8:8, 15.) 

b. Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which 
planted a vineyard, and headed it round about, and digged a wine-press 
in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a 
far country. (Mat. 21:33.) 

c. The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn 
feast: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are af- 
flicted, and she is in bitterness. (Lam. 1:4.) 

d. And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat 
down among the ashes (8). So they sat down with him upon the ground 
seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they 
saw that his grief was very great. (Job 2:8, 13.) The elders of the 
daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast 
up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: 
the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. (Lam. 
2:10.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And it shall come to. pass in that day, that the mountains shall 
drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the riv- 
ers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of 
the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. (Joel 3:18.) 



Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed 
of David according to the flesh (3). And declared to be the Son of God 
with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from 
the dead. (Rom. 1:3, 4.) 

b. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified 
the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life be- 
lieved. (Acts 13:48.) 

c. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to 
lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; 
to go by day and night. (Ex. 13:21.) 

d. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which can- 
not be removed, but abideth for ever. (Ps. 125:1.) In that day shall this 
song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will 
God appoint for walls and bulwarks. (Is. 26:1.) 

e. For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the 
needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, 
when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. (Is. 
25:4.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the 
heathen, and planted it (8). Thcu preparedst room before it, and didst 
cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. (Ps. 80:8, 9.) In that 
day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine (2). I the Lord do keep 
it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night 
and day. (Is. 27:2, 3.) Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right 
seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange 
vine unto me? (Jer. 2:21.) Then began he to speak to the people this 
parable, A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husband- 
men, and went into a far country for a long time. (Luke 20:9.)

3 And now, O inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and men of Ju'dah, judge, I pray you, betwixt 
me and my vineyard. 

4 What could have been done more to my 
vineyard, that I have not done in it? where- 
fore, when I looked that it should bring forth 
grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? 

•5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will 
do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge 
thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break 
down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden 
down: 

6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be 
pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up 
briers and thorns: I will also command the 
clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 

7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is 
the house of Is'ra-el, and the men of Ju'dah 
his pleasant plant: and he looked for judg- 
ment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, 
but behold a cry. 

5 r T Woe unto them that join house to house, 
that lay field to field, till there be no place, 
that they may be placed alone in the midst of 
the earth ! 

9 In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of

great and fair, without inhabitant.

pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend 
into it.

him: and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night,

flames of fire. (Is. 66:15.) Go ye, enquire of the Lord for me, and for the 
people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is 
found: fcr great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, 
because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to 
do according unto all that which is written concerning us (13). Because 
they have forsaken me. and have burned incense unto other gods, that 
they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands:

and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evil-doer: and every 
mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his

2 Above it stood the seraphim : each one had 
six wings; with twain he covered his face, and 
with twain he covered his feet, and with twain 
he did fly. 

3 And one cried unto another, and said, 
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the 
whole earth is full of his glory. 

4 And the posts of the Moor moved at the 
voice of him that cried, and the house was 
rilled with smoke. 

5 r Then said I, Woe is me ! for I am un- 
done; because I am a man of unclean lips, and 
I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean 
lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the 
Lord of hosts. 

6 Then flew 2 one of the seraphim unto me, 
^having a live coal in his hand, which he had 
taken with tongs from off d the altar: 

7 And he laid it 3 upon my mouth, and said, 
Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine in- 
iquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 
Whom shall I send, 4 and who will go for c us? 
Then said I, Here am I; send me. 

9 If And he said, Go, and* tell this people, 
Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see 
ye indeed, but perceive not. 

10 Make the heart of this people fat, and 
make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; 
lest they see with their eyes, and hear with 
their ears, and understand with their heart, 
and convert, and be healed. 

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he 
answered, Until the cities be wasted without 
inhabitant, and the houses without man, and 
the land be utterly desolate, 

12 And the Lord have ''removed men far 
away, and there be a great forsaking in the 
midst of the land. 

13 H But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it 
shall return, and shall be eaten : as a teil tree, 
and as an oak, w 7 hose substance is in them, 
when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed 
"shall be the substance thereof. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Ahaz, being troubled with fear, is comforted 
by Isaiah. 10 Ahaz, having liberty to choose 
a sign, and refusing it, hath for a sign, 
Christ promised. 

1 And it came to pass in the days of A'haz 
the son of Jo'than, the son of Uz-zi'ah, king 
of Ju'dah, that Re'zin the king of Syr'i-a, and 
Pe'kah the son of Rem-a-li'ah, king of Is'ra-el, 
went up toward Je-ru'sa-lem to war against it, 
but could not prevail against it. 

2 And it was told the house of ^a'vid, say-

ing, Syr'i-a is confederate with E'phra'im. 
And his heart was moved, and the heart of his 
people, as the trees of the wood are moved 
with the wind. 

3 Then said the "Lord unto I-§a'iah, Go forth 
now to meet A'haz, thou, and She'ar-ja'shub 
thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper 
pool in the highway of the fuller's field; 

4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be 
quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the 
two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the 
fierce anger of Re'zin with Syr'i-a, and of the 
son of Rem-a-li'ah. 

5 Because Syr'i-a, E'phra-im, and the son of 
Rem-a-li'ah, have taken evil counsel against 
thee, saying, 

6 Let us go up against Ju'dah, and vex it, 
and let us make a breach therein for us, and 
set a king in the midst of it, even the son of 
Ta'be-al : 

7 Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not 
stand, neither shall it come to pass. 

8 For the head of Syr'i-a is Da-mas'cus, and 
the head of Da-mas'cus is Re'zin] and within 
threescore and five years shall E'phra-im be 
broken, that it be not a people. 

9 And the head of E'phra-im is Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and the head of Sa-ma'ri-a is Rem-a-li'ah's 
son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not 
be established. 

10 If Moreover the 2 Lord spake 3 again unto 
A'haz, saying, 

11 Ask thee a a sign of the "Lord thy God; 
ask it either in the depth, or in the height 
above. 

12 But A'haz said, I will not ask, neither 
will I tempt the 2 Lord. 

13 And he said, Hear ye now, house of 
Da'vid; It is a small thing for you to weary 
men, but will ye weary my God also? 

14 Therefore the 'Lord himself shall give 
you a sign; ^Behold, a virgin shall conceive. 
and bear c a son, and shall call his name i Im- 
man'u-el. 

15 ^Butter and honey shall he eat, that he 
may know to refuse the evil, and choose the 
good. 

16 For before the child shall know to refuse 
the evil, and choose the good, the land that 
thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of d both het 
kings. 

17 f The 2 Lord shall bring upon "thee, and 
upon thy people, and upon thy father's 7 house. 
days that have not come, from the day that 
E'phra-im ^departed from Ju'dah; even the 
king of As-syr'i-a. 

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, 



Chapter 6. 

a. And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw 
the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by 
him on his right hand and on his left. (I Ks. 22:19.) These things said 
Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. (Jno. 12:41.) And im- 
mediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, 
and one sat on the throne (2). And he that sat was to look upon like a 
jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the 
throne in sight like unto an emerald. (Rev. 4:2, 3.) 

b. And the sound of the cherubim's wings was heard even to the 
outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. (Ez. 
10:5.) 

c. Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak 
this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this peo- 
ple wood, and it shall devour them. (Jer. 5.14.) I indeed baptize you 
with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier 
than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with 
ihe Holy Ghost, and with fire. (Mat. 3:11.) 

d. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden 
censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should 
offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was 
before the throne. (Rev. 8:3.) 

e. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl 
of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every 
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Gen. 1:26.) The grace 
of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of 
the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (II Cor. 13:14.) 

f. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one 
end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other 
gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and 
stone. (Dt. 28:64.) 



Chapter 7. 

a. And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such 
as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the 
same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and 
eat the fruit thereof. (Is. 37:30.) Instead of the thorn shall come up 
the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and 
it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall 
not be cut off. (Is. 55:13.) And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall 
eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second 
year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, 
and reap and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof. (II Ks. 
19:29.), 

b. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was 
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying (22), Behold, a virgin shall 
be with child, and shall bring forth a .son, and they shall call his name 
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (Mat. 1:22, 23.) 
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, 
and shalt call his name Jesus. (Luke 1:31.) 

c. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the gov- 
ernment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Won- 
derful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince 
of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) 

d. And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah, 
the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his 
stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah. (II Ks. 15:30.) 
And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria 
went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it cap- 
tive to Kir and slew Rezin. (II Ks. 16:9.) 

e. So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, 
the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? 
neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: 
now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their 
tents. (I Ks. 12:16.)

6 that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in 
the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and 
for the bee that is in the land of As-syr'i-a. 

19 And s they shall come, and shall rest all 
of them in the desolate valleys, and in the 
holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and 
upon all bushes. 

20 In the same day shall the 2 Lord shave 
with a razor that is hired, namely, by them 
beyond the "river, by the king of As-syr'i-a, 
the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall 
also consume the beard. 

21 And it shall came to pass in that day, 
that a man shall nourish a young cow, and 
two sheep; 

22 And it shall come to pass, for the abun- 
dance of milk that they shall give he shall eat 
butter: for butter and honey shall every one 
eat that is left in the land. 

23 And it shall come to pass in that da3 r , 
that every place shall be, where there were a 
thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it 
shall even be for '"briers and thorns. 

24 With arrows and with bows shall men 
come thither; because all the land shall become 
briers and thorns. 

25 And on all hills that shall be digged with 
the mattock, there shall not come thither the 
fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for 
the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading 
of "lesser cattle. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 In Maher-shalal-hash-baz, he prophesieth 
that Syria and Israel shall be subdued by 
Assyria. 5 Judah likewise for their infidel- 
ity. 11 Comfort shall be to them that fear 
God. 

1 Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take 
thee a great *roll, and write in it with a man's 
"pen concerning 'Ma'her-shalal-hash'-baz. 

2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to 
record, C-ri'ah the priest, and Zech-a-ri'ah the 
son of Je-ber-e-chi'ah. 

3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she 
conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord 
to me, Call his name AlaTier-shal'al-hash'-baz. 

4 For before the child shall have knowledge 
to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches 
of Da-mas'cus and the spoil of Sa-ma'ii-a shall 
be taken away before the king of As-syr'i-a. 

5 *" The Lord spake also unto me again, say- 
ing, 

6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the 
waters of a Shi-lo'ah that go softly, and rejoice 
in Re'zin and Rem-a-li'ah's son; 

7 Now therefore, "behold, the Lord bringeth 
up upon them the waters 5 of_the river, strong 
and many, even the king of As-syr'i-a, and all 
his glory: and he shall come up over all his 
channels, and go over all his banks:

8 And he shall pass through Ju'dab ; he 
shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even 
to the neck; and the stretching out of his 
wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, 
& Im-man'u-el. 

9 r Associate yourselves, O ye people, and 
ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all 
ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye 
shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and 
ye shall be broken in pieces. 

10 Take °counsel together, and it shall come 
to nought; speak the word, and it shall not 
stand: 5 for God is with us. 

11 r For the Lord spake thus to me with a 
strong hand, and instructed me that I should 
not walk in the way of this people, saying, 

12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to 
whom this people shall say, A confederacy; 
r neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 

13 Sanctify ^the Lord of hosts himself; and 
i'let him be your fear, and let him be your 
dread. 

14 And h he shall be for a sanctuary; but 
for a 'stone of stumbling and for a rock of 
offence to both the houses of Is'ra-el, for a 
c gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15 And many among them shall -'stumble, 
and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be 
taken. 

16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law 
among my disciples. 

17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that 
hideth his face from the house of Ja'cob, and 
I will look for him. 

18 Behold, I and the children whom the 
Lord hath given me are for signs and for won- 
ders in Is'ra-el from the Lord of hosts, which 
dwelleth in mount Zi'on. 

19 r And when they shall say unto you, Seek 
unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto 
wizards that peep, and that mutter: should *not 
a people seek unto their God? for the living to 
the dead? 

20 To the law and to the testimony: if they 
speak not according to this word, it is because 
there is no light in them. 

21 And they shall pass through it, hardly 
bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, 
that when they shall be hungry, they shall 
fret themselves, and curse their king and their 
God, and look upward. 

22 And they shall look unto the earth; and 
behold trouble and darkness, dimness of 
anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

fierce anger. (Jer. 4:26.)

a. And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by 
interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came 
seeing. (Jno. 9:7.) 

b. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we 
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father.) full 
of grace and truth. (Jno. 1:14.) And without controversy great is the 
mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the 
Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the 
world, received up into glory. (I Tim. 3:16.) See Is. 7:14. 

c. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands 
cannot perform their enterprise. (Job. 5:12.) And your covenant with 
death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; 
v.hen the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trod- 
den down bv it. (Is. 28:18.) 

d. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can 
be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

e. But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be 
not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled (14): But sanctify the Lord 
God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every 
man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness 
and fear. (I Pet. 3:14, 15.) 

f. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron. Because ye believe 
me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye 
shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 

Num. 20:12.) 



g. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which 
after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, 
Fear him. (Luke 12:5.) 

h. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God: Although I have cast 
them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them 
among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the 
countries where they shall come. (Ez. 11:16.) For thou hast been a 
strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge 
from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible 
ones is as a storm against the wall. (Is. 25:4.) 

i. As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock 
of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (Rom. 
9:33.) And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Be- 
hold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel: 
and for a sign which shall be spoken against. (Luke 2:34. ) And a stone 
of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the 
word being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. (I Pet. 
2:8.) 

j. Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on 
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (Luke 20:18.) 
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept 
upon precept: line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a 
little; that thev might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, 
and taken. (Is. 28:13.) And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be 
broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 
(Mat. 21:44.) Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it 
were bv the works of the law. For thev stumbled at that stumbling- 
stone. "(Rom. 9:32.)

3 Thou hast multiplied the 'nation, and not 
increased the joy: they joy before thee accord- 
ing to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice 
when they divide the spoil. 

4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his bur- 
den, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of 
his oppressor, as in the day of 6 MId'i-an. 

5 For every battle of the warrior is with 
confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; 
but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

peace ' 'there shall be no end, upon the throne 
of Da'vid, and upon his kingdom, to order it, 
and to establish it with judgment and with 
justice from henceforth even for ever. The 
zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. 

8 r The T Lord sent a word into Ja'cob, and 
it hath lighted upon Is'ra-el.

E'phra-im and the inhabitant of Sa-ma'ri-a, 
that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, 

10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will 
build with hewn stones : the sycomores are cut 
down, but we will change them into cedars. 

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the ad- 
versaries of Re'zin against him, and join his 
enemies together; 

12 The Syr'i-ans before, and the Phi-lis'- 
tines behind; and they shall devour Is'ra-el 
with open mouth. For all this his anger is not 
turned away, but 'his hand is stretched out

as the i uel of the fire : no man shall spare his 
brother. 

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, 
and be hungry; and he shall eat on .the left 
hand, fand they shall not be satisfied: they 
shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: 

21 Ma-nas'seh, E'phra-im; and E'phra-im, 
Ma-nas'seh: and they together shall be against 
Ju'dah. For all this his anger is not turned 
away, but his hand is stretched out still. 

CHAPTER 10. 

1 Tlie tvoe of tyrants. 5 Assyria shall be 
broken. 20 A remnant of Israel shall be 
saved. 24 Israel is comforted with promise 
of deliverance from Assyria. 

1 Woe unto them '-that decree unrighteous 
"decrees, and that write grievousness which 
they have prescribed; 

2 To turn 2 aside the needy from judgment, 
and to take away the right from the poor of 
my people, that B widows may be their prey, 
and that they may rob the fatherless! 

3 And what will ye do in c the day of visita- 
tion, and in the desolation which shall come 
from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and 
where will ye leave your glory? 

4 Without me they shall bow down under 
the prisoners, and they shall fall under the 
slain. For all this his anger is not turned 
away, but his hand is stretched out still. 

5 10 As-syr'i-an, the rod of mine anger, 
and the staff in their hand is mine indigna- 
tion. 

6 I will send him against an hypocritical 
nation, and against the people of my wrath 
will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and 
to take the prey, and to tread them down like 
the mire of the streets. 

7 Howbeit he meaneth 3 not so, neither doth 
his heart think so; but it is in his heart to 
destroy and cut off nations not a few. 

8 For he saith, Are not my princes alto- 
gether kings? 

9 Is not Cal'nS as Car'che-mish? is not Ha'- 



Chapter 9. 

a. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, 
saying (14), The land of Zabulon and the land of Nephthalim, by the way 
of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles (15). The people 
which sat in darkness saw great light; ami to them which sat in the 
region and shadow of death light is sprung up. (Mat. 4:14-16.) For ye 
were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as 
children of light (8). Wherefore he saith. Awake thou that sleepest, and 
arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. (Eph. 5:8, 14.) 

b. And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set 
every man's sword against his (ellow, even throughout all the host: and 
the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-me- 
holah, unto Tabbath. (Jud. 7:22.) And the Lord of hosts shall stir up 
a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of 
Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the 
manner of Egypt. (Is. 10:26.) 

c. For un-to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, 
which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11.) For he shall grow up before him 
as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor 
comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we 
should desire him. (Is. 53:2.) For God so loved the world, that he 
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not 
perish, but have everlasting iife. (Jno. 3:16.) For he must reign, till he 
hath put all enemies under his feet. (I Cor. 15:25.) And Jesus came and 
spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in 
earth. (Mat. 28;18.) 

d. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto Da- 
vid a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper and shall ex- 
ecute judgment and justice in the earth (5). In his days Judah shall be 
saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he 
shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jer. 23:5, 6.) In 
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word 



was God. (Jno. 1:1.) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious 
appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. (Tit. 2:13.) 

e. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a 
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be 
left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these 
kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) He shall be great, 
and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give 
unto him the throne of his father David (32). And he shall reign over 
the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 
(Luke 1:32, 33.) 

f. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women 
shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your 
bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. (Lev. 
26:26.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for 
him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of 
nought. (Is. 29:21.) None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for 
truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief: and 
bring forth iniquity (4). In transgressing and lying against the Lord, 
and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, con- 
ceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. (Is. 59:4, 13.) 
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth 
mischief by a law? (Ps. 94:20.) 

b. The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his peo- 
ple, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the 
spoil of the poor is in your houses (14). What mean ye that ye beat my 
people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God 
of hosts. (Is. 3:14, 15.) 

c. And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within 
thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because 
thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (Luke 19:44.)

math as Ar'pad? is not Sa-ma'ii-a as Da-mas- 
cus? 

10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of 
the idols, and whose graven images did excel 
them of Je-ru'sa-lem and of Sa-ma'ri-a; 

11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Sa-ma'- 
ii-a and her idols, so do to Je-ru'sa-lem and 
her idols? 

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that 
when the Lord hath performed his whole "work 
upon mount Zi'on and on Je-ru'sa-lem, I will 
punish the fruit 01 the stout c 'heart of the king 
of As-syr'i-a, and the glory of his high looks. 

13 For he ^saith, By the strength of my 
hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I 
am prudent: and I have removed the bounds 
of the people, and have robbed their treasures, 
and I have put down the inhabitants like a 
valiant man: 

14 And my hand hath found as a nest the 
riches of the people: and as one gathereth 
eggs that are left, have I gathered all the 
earth; and there was none that moved the 
wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 

. 15 Shall c the ax boast itself against him 
that heweth therewith? or shall the saw mag- 
nify itself against him that shaketh it? as if 
the rod should shake itself against them that 
lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, 
as if it were no wood. 

16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord 6 of 
hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and 
under his glory he shall kindle a burning like 
the burning of a fire. 

17 And the light of Is'ra-el shall be for a 
fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it 
shall burn and devour his thorns and his 
7 briers in one day; 

18 And shall consume the glory of his for- 
est, and of his fruitful field, both soul and 
body: and they shall be as when a standard- 
bearer fainteth. 

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest 
shall be few, that a child may write them. 

20 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that the remnant of Is'ra-el, and such as are 
escaped of the house of Ja'cob, shall no more 
again stay upon him that smote them; but 
shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Is'- 
ra-el, in truth. 

21 The remnant shall return, even the rem- 
nant of Ja'cob, unto the mighty God. 

22 ^For though thy people Is'ra-el be as the 
sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall 
return: the consumption decreed shall over- 
flow with righteousness. 

23 For ^the Lord God of hosts shall make 
a consumption, even determined, in the midst 
of all the land.

1. The spirit of Jehovah, spirit by 
which the prophets spake. Seven gifts 
of the Holy Spirit are here spoken of 
(the Bible number indicating perfec- 
tion), thus implying that the perfec- 
tion of them was to be in him. viz., 
the spirit of wisdom, understanding, 
counsel, might, knowledge and fear 
of the Lord. 



24 If Therefore thus saith the Lord God of 
hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zi'on, be 
not afraid of the As-syr'i-an: he shall smite 
thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff 
against thee, after the manner of E'gypt. 

25 For yet a very little while, A and the in- 
dignation shall cease, and mine anger in their 
destruction. 

26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up ! 'a 
scourge for him according to the slaughter of 
Mid'i-an at the rock of O'reb: and as his rod 
was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after 
the manner of E'gypt. 

27 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that his burden shall be taken away from off 
thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, 
and the yoke shall be destroyed because of ■'the 
anointing. 

28 He is come to A-I'ath, he is passed -to 
Mig'rSn; at Mich'mash he hath laid up his 
carriages : 

29 8 They are gone over the passage: they 
have taken up their lodging at Ge'ba; Ra'mah 
is afraid; Gib'e-ah of Saul is fled. 

30 Lift up thy voice, 6 daughter of Gal'lim : 
cause it to be heard unto La'ish, O poor An'a- 
thoth. 

31_Mad-me'nah is removed; the inhabitants 
of GeTjim gather themselves to flee. 

32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: 
he shall shake his hand against the mount of 
the daughter of Zi'on, the hill of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall 
lop the bough with terror: and the high ones 
of stature shall be hewn down, and the 
haughty shall be humbled. 

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of 
the forest with iron, and Leb'a-non shall fall 
by a mighty one. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 The peaceable kingdom of the Branch out of 
the root of Jesse. 10 The victorious restora- 
tion of Israel, and vocation of the Gentiles. 

1 And "there shall come forth a rod out of 
the stem of Jesse, and b a Branch shall grow 
out of his roots: 

2 And e the spirit of the 1 Lord shall rest 
upon him, the spirit of wisdom and under- 
standing, the spirit of counsel and might, the 
spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the 
Lord; 

3 And shall make him of quick understand- 
ing in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not 
judge after the sight of his eyes, neither re- 
prove after the hearing of his ears: 

4 But with ^righteousness shall he judge the 
poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of 



d. By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hath said, By 
the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the moun- 
tains, to the sides of Lebanon; and will cut down the tall cedars there- 
of, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of 
his border, and the forest of his Carmel. (Is. 37:24.) 

e. Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I 
break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms. 
Uer. 51:20.) Nay, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? 
Shall the thing iormed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made 
me thus? (Rom. 9:20.) 

f. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine 
them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: and they 
shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my peo- 
ple: and they shall say, The Lord is my God. (Zech. 13:9.) Esaias also 
crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel 
be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved (27). For he will 
finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work 
will the Lord make upon the earth. (Rom. 9:27, 28.) 

g. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and 
in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice' and the oblation to 
cease, and for the overspreading of abomination he shall make it des- 
olate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured 
upon the desolate. (Dan. 9:27.) 

h. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt 
himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvel- 
lous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indigna- 
lion be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. (Dan. 
11:36.) 

i. Then the angel of the Lord went forth and smote in the camp of 
the Assyrians an hundred and four score and five thousand: and when 
Ihey arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses (3fi). 
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and 



dwelt at Nineveh (37). And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in 
the house at Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his son 
smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: 
and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead. (Is. 37:36-38.) 

j. He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings 
for their sakes (14): Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my 
prophets no harm. (Ps. 105:14, 15.) For of a truth against thy Holy child 
Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with 
the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together. (Acts 
4:27.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a 
root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when 
we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. (Is. 
53:2.) And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, 
saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH: -and he shall 
grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. 
(Zech. 6:12.) 

b. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto 
David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper aud shall 
execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Jer. 23:5.) Hear now, O 
Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for 
they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant 
The BRANCH. (Zech. 3:8.) 

c. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the 
water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit 
of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. (Mat. 3:16.) And 
John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like 
a dove, and it abode upon him. (Jno. 1:32.) 

d. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with 
judgment (2). He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the

the earth: and he shall c smite the earth with 
the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of 
his lips shall he slay the wicked. 

5 And f righteousness shall be the girdle of 
his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his 
reins. 

6 The ('ivolf also shall divell ivith the lamb, 
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; 
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling 
together; and a little child shall lead them. 

7 And the cow and thS bear shall feed; their 
young ones shall lie doivn together: and the 
lion shall eat straw like the ox. 

8 And the sucking child shall play on the 
hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall pxit 
his hand on the -cockatrice' den. 

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my 
holy mountain: for ,l the earth shall be full of 
the ^knowledge of the l Lord, as the waters 
cover the sea. 

10 IT And in that day there shall be a root 
of Jes'se, which shall stand for an ensign of 
the people; to it shall the Gentiles i seek: and 
his rest shall be glorious. 

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that the 'Lord shall set his hand again the 
second time to recover the remnant of his 
people, winch shall he left, •'from As-syr'I-a, 
and from E'gypt,_and from Path'ros, and from 
Cush, and from E'lam, and from Shi'nar, and 
from Ha'math, and from the islands of the sea. 

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the 
nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of 
Is'ra-el, and gather together '-'the dispersed of 
Ju'dah from the four corners of the earth. 

13 The envy also of E'phra-im shall depart, 
and the adversaries of Ju'dah shall be cut off: 
E'phra-im shall not envy Ju'dah, and Ju'dah 
shall not vex E'phra-im. 

14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of 
the Phi-lis'tine§ toward the west; they shall 
spoil them of the east together: they shall 
lay their hand upon E'dom and Mo'ab; and the 
children of Am'mon , shall obey them.

A joyful thanksgiving of the faithful for the 
mercies of God.

I will praise thee: though thou wast angry 
with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou 
comfortedst me.

and not be afraid: for the Lord JE-Ho'VAH 
6 is my strength and my song; he also is be- 
come my salvation. 

3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw c water 
out of the wells of salvation. 

4 And in that day shall ye say, 2 Praise the 
Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings 
among tlie people, make mention 3 that his name 
is exalted.

cellent things : this is known in all the earth.

CHAPTER 13. 

1 God mustereth the armies of his wrath. 6 
He threateneth to destroy Babylon by the 
Medes. 19 The desolation of Babylon. 

1 The burden of Bab'y-lon, which I-§a'iah 
the son of A'moz did see. 

2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high moun- 
tain, exalt the voice unto 'them, shake the 
hand, that they may go into the gates of the 
nobles. 

3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I 
have also called my mighty ones for mine 



children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. (Ps. 
72:2, 4.) Before the Lord; for he' cometh to judge the earth: with right- 
eousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. (Ps. 
08:9.) Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judg- 
ment. (Jno. 7:24.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways 
are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. 
(Dt. 32:4.) The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his 
works. (Ps. 145:17.) Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy 
throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. (Ps. S9:14.) The fear 
of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are 
true and righteous altogether. (Ps. 19:9.) Therefore the Lord hath 
recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my clean- 
ness in his eyesight (25). With the merciful thou wilt show thyself 
merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright (26). 
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou 
wilt show thyself unsavory. (II Sam. 22:25-27.) Thy righteousness also, 
God, is very high, who hast done great things: God, who is like unto 
thee! (Ps. 71:19.) 

e. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and 
the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the 
earth with a curse. (Mai. 4:6.) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, 
whom the Lord shall consume with a- spirit in his mouth, and shall 
destroy with the brightness of his coming. (II Thes. 2:8.) 

f. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and 
having on the breastplate of righteousness. (Bph. 6:14.) 

g. And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts 
of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things 
of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle 
out of the earth and will make them to lie down safely. (Hos. 2:18.) • 

h. For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of 
the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. (Hab. 2:14.) The Lord hath made 
bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the 
earth shall see the salvation of. our God. (Is. 52:10.) The Lord hath 
made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly showed in 
the sight of the heathen (2). He hath remembered his mercy and his 
truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the 
salvation of our God. (Ps. 98:2, 3.) 

i. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. (Rom. 
15:10.) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God 
was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached 
unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (I 
Tim. 3:16.) 

j. I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather 
them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and 
Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. (Zech. 10:10.) 

k. Then saith the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that 
we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, 
and teach the Gentiles? (Jno. 7:35.) 

1. Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path 
In the mighty waters. (Is. 43:16.) That saith to the deep, Be dry and 



I will dry up thy rivers. (Is. 44:27.) Wherefore, when I came, was 
there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand 
shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? 
behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: 
their flsh stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. (Is. 
50:2.) 

m. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst 
of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, 
and on their left. (Ex. 14:29.) Art thou not it which hath dried the 
sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the 
sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? (Is. 51:10.) Then he remem- 
bered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that 
brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where 
is he that put his Holy Spirit within him? (11). That led them by the 
right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before 
them, to make himself an everlasting name? (12). That led them through 
the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? 
(Is. 63:11-13.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of 
men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that 
day. (Is. 2:11.) 

b. He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him de- 
liver him, seeing he delighted in him. (Ps. 22:8.) Pull me out of the 
net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. (Ps. 
31:4.) The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer: my 
God, and my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn 
of my salvation, and my high tower. (Ps. 18:2.) The Lord is my light 
and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my 
life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) But the salvation of the 
righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble. (Ps. 
37:39.) 

c. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, 
and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink: thou wouldest have 
asked of him, and he would have given thee living water (10). But 
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; 
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water

great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, 
let him come unto me, and drink (37). He that believeth on me, as the 
scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 
(Jno. 7:37, 38.) 

d. Break forth into joy. sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: 
for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 
(Is. 52:9.) Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into 
singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for 
more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married 
wife, saith the Lord. (Is. 54:1.) Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O 
Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

4 H That thou c shalt take up this proverb 



Chapter 13. 

a. Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which 
is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the 
Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, 
saying. (Zech. 1:7.) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the 
Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. (I Thes. 5:2.) 

b. For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all 
the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day 
that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall 
leave them neither root nor branch. (Mai. 4:1.) For, behold, the Lord 
will come w T ith fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his 
anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by 
his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord 
shall be many. (Is. 66:15, 16.) 

c. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be 
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall 
from heaven, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken. (Mat. 
24:29.) 

d. And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree 
from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (Luke 2:1.) 

e. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward 
of his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) But with righteousness shall 
he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and 
he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath 
of his lips shall he slay the wicked. (Is. 11:4.) The Lord hath broken 
the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. (Is. 14:5.) 

f. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of 
men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that 
day. (Is. 2:11.) The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the 
pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the 
earth. (Is. 23:9.) And thou his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled 
thine heart, though thou knewes; all this; but hast lifted up thyself 
against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his 
house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concu- 
bines, have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of 
silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor 
hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose 
are al! thy ways, thou hast not glorified. (Dan. 5:22, 23.) 

g. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, 
and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry 
land. (Hag. 2:6.) Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon 
the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and 
the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein 
shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my 
righteousness shall not be abolished. (Is. 51:6.) 

h. Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young 



children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and 
they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound 
in chains. (Nah. 3:10.) 

.i. Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised 
up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, 
to destroy it: because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of 
his temple. (Jer. 51:11.) A grievous vision is declared unto me; the 
treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go 
up, Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to 
cease. (Is. 21:2.) 

j. For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which 
shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: thes 7 shall 
remove, they shall depart, both man and beast. (Jer. 50:3.) It shall not 
be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: 
from generation to generation it shall lie a waste; none shall pass through 
it for ever and ever (10). But the cormorant and the bittern shall pos- 
sess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch 
out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness (11). They 
shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, 
and all her princes shall be nothing (12). And thorns shall come up in 
her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall 
be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls (13). The wild 
beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, 
and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there 
and find for herself a place of rest (14). There shall the great owl make her 
nest, and lay and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the 
vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate. (Is. 34:10-15.) 

k. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter 
of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little 
while, and the time of her harvest shall come. (Jer. 51:33.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, My cities through 
prosperity shall yet be spread abroad: and the Lord shall yet comfort 
Zion. and shall yet choose Jerusalem. (Zech. 1:17.) Sing and rejoice, O 
daughter of Zion: for lo. I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, 
saith the Lord (10). And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in 
that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, 
and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee (11). 
And the Lord shall inherit Judah, his portion in the holy land, and 
shall choose Jerusalem again. (Zech. 2:10-12.)' 

b. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the 
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, 
having no hope, and without God in the world (12). But now in Christ 
Jesus ye who sometimes were far oft are made nigh by the blood of 
Christ (13). For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath 
broken down the middle wall of partition between us. (Eph. 2:12-14.) 

c. Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting

against the king of Baby-Ion, and say, How 
hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city 
ceased ! 

5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the 
wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 

6 He who smote the people in wrath with a 
continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in 
anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 

7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: 
they break forth into singing. 

8 Yea, <-'the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the 
cedars of Leb'a-non, saying, Since thou art 
laid down, no feller is come up against us. 

9 Hell 'from beneath is moved for thee to 
meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the 
dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the 
earth; it hath raised up from their thrones 
all the kings of the nations. 

10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, 
Art thou also become weak as we? art thou 
become like unto us? 

11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, 
and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread 
under thee, and the worms cover thee. 

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, Lu'- 
cl-fer, son of the morning! how art thou cut 
down to the ground, which didst weaken the 
nations ! 

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will 
ascend into "heaven, I will exalt my throne 
above the stars of God: I will sit also upon 
the mount of the congregation, in the sides 
of the north : 

14 I will ascend above the heights of the 
clouds ; ( I will be like the most High. 

15 Yet thou f shalt be brought down to shell, 
to the sides of the pit. 

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look 
upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this 
the man that made the earth to tremble, that 
did shake kingdoms; 

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and 
destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not 
the house of his prisoners? 

18 All the kings of the nations, even all of 
them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like 
an abominable branch, and as the raiment of 
those that are slain, thrust through with a 
sword, that go down to the stones of the pit ; 
as a carcase trodden under feet. 

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in 
burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, 
and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers 
shall never be renowned. 

21 Prepare slaughter for his children ''for 
the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not 
rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of 
the world with cities. 



9. Sheol. The Hebrew renders 
tbis verse, "The kingdom of the deal 
below is all in an uprbar on account 
or thee, to meet thee at thy coming." 



10. An allusion to the tower of 
Babel. (Gen. 11:4.) 



Ch. 15. B. C. 726. 



1. The prophecy of this ch. is 
doubtless generic, as it covers the 
character of Moab for at least two 
centuries. 



2. Examples of mourning, humilia- 
tion. 



22 For I will rise up against them, saith 
the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Bab'y'lon 
the name, and remnant, 'and son, and nephew, 
saith the Lord. 

23 I will also make it a possession for the 
bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep 
it with the besom of destruction, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

24 H The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, 
Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to 
pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it 
stand : 

25 That I will break the As-syr'i-an in my 
land, and upon my mountains tread him under 
foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, 
and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 

26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon 
the whole earth: and this is the hand that is 
stretched out upon all the nations. 

27 For the Lord of hosts hath ■'purposed, 
and who shall disannul it? and hi-s hand is 
stretched out, and who shall turn it back? 

28 In the year that king A'haz died was this 
burden. 

29 If Rejoice not thou, whole Pal-es-ti'na, be- 
cause the rod of him that smote thee is broken : 
for out of the serpent's root shall come forth 
a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery 
flying serpent. 

30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, 
and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I 
will kill thy root with famine, and he shall 
slay thy remnant. 

31 Howl. gate; cry, city; thou, whole 
Pal-es-ti'na, art dissolved: for there shall come 
from the north a smoke, and none shall be 
alone in his appointed times. 

32 What shall one then answer the messen- 
gers of the nation? That the Lord hath 
founded Zl'on, and the poor of his people shall 
fr trust in it. 

CHAPTER 15. 
The lamentable state of Moab. 

1 The 'burden "of Mo'ab. Because in the 
night Ar of Mo'ab is laid waste, and brought 
to silence; because in the night Kir of Mo'ab 
is laid waste, and brought to silence; 

2 He is gone up to Ba'jith, and to Di'bon, 
the high places, to weep: Mo'ab shall howl 
over Ne'bo, and over Med'e-ba: on all their 
heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut 
off. 

3 In their streets they shall gird themselves 
with 2 sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, 
and in their streets, every one shall howl, 
weeping abundantly. 

4 And 3 Hesh'bon shall cry, and E-le-a'leh: 
their voice shall be heard even unto Ja'haz: 



proverb against him. and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is 
not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! 
(Hab. 2:6.) 

d. I made the nations to shake at the sound of his' fall, when I cast 
him down to hell with them that descended into the pit: and all the 
trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, 
shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Ez. 31:16.) 

e. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that 
dwellest carelessly, that sayest in his heart, I am, and none else beside 
me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children. 
(Is. 47:8.) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called 
God or that is worshipped: so that he as God sitteth in the temple of 
God, showing himself that he is God. (II Thes. 2:4.) 

f. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that 
wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had re- 
ceived the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These 
both were cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone. (Rev. 
19:20.) 

g. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did 
cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which 
was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born 
(4). And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations 
with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his 
throne (5). And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a 
place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two 
hundred and threescore days (6). And there was war in heaven: Michael 
and his angels fought against the dragon: and the dragon fought and his 
angels (7). And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more 
in heaven (S). And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, 
called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was 



(Rev. 



cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 
12:4-9.) 

h. His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have 
no .name in the street (17). He shall neither have son nor nephew 
among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. (Job. 18:17, 19.) 
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from 
among the children of men. (Ps. 21:10.) For the Lord loveth judgment, 
and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed 
of the wicked shall be cut off. (Ps. 37:28.) 

i. He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any 
remaining in his dwellings. (Job 18;19.) That upon you may come all 
the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel 
unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between 
the temple and the altar. (Mat. 23:35.) 

j. And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? 
and rulest.not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine 
hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand 
thee? (II Chr. 20:6.) While the word was in the king's mouth, there 
fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is 
spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. (Dan. 4:31.) 

k. I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, 
and they shall trust in the name of the Lord. (Zeph. 3:12.) And it was 
broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me 
knew that it was the word of the Lord. (Zech. 11:11.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 
Woe unto Nebo: for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded, and taken: 
Misgah is confounded and dismayed. (Jer. 48:1.) Thus saith the Lord; 
for three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof: because he burned the bones of the king of Edom 
into lime. (Amos. 2:1.)

therefore the armed soldiers of Mo'ab shall 
cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him. 

5 My heart shall cry out for Mo'ab; his 
fugitives shall flee unto Zo'ar, an heifer of 
three years old: for by the ''mounting up of 
Lu'hith with weeping shall they go it up; for 
in the way of H6r-o-na'im they shall raise up 
a cry of destruction. 

6 For the waters of "Xim'rim shall be deso-

faileth, there is no green thing. 

7 Therefore the abundance they have got- 
ten, and that which they have laid up, shall 
they carry away to the brook of the willows. 

8 For the cry is gone round about the bor- 
ders of Mo'ab; the howling thereof unto Eg- 
la-im, and the howling thereof unto Be'er-e'- 
lim. 

9 For the waters of Di'mon shall be full of 
blood: for I will bring more upon Di'mon, 
lions upon him that escapeth of M5'ab, and 
upon the remnant of the land.

shall be at the fords of Ar'non. 

3 Take "counsel, & execute judgment; make 
thy shadow as the night in the midst of the 
noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him 
that wandereth. 

4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Mo'ab; 
be thou a covert to them from the face of the 
spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the 
spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed 
out of the land. 

•5 And in mercy c shall the throne be estab-

tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking 
judgment, and hasting righteousness. 

6 *~ We have heard of the d pride of Mo'ab ; 
he is very proud : even of his haughtiness, and 
his pride, and his wrath : but his lies shall not 
be so.

every one shall howl: for the foundations c of 
Kir-har'e-seth shall ye mourn; surely they are 
stricken.

nant shall forsake idolatry. 9 The rest shall 
be plagued for their impiety. 

1 The 'burden °of Da-mas'cus. Behold, Da- 
mas'cus is taken 2 away from being a city, and 
it shall be a ruinous heap. 

2 The cities of Ar'6-er are forsaken: they 
shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and 
none shall make them afraid. 

3 6 The fortress also shall cease from E'phra- 
im, and the kingdom from Da-mas'cus, and 
the remnant of Syr'i-a: they shall be as the 
glory of the children of Is'ra-el, saith the Lord 
of hosts. 

4 And in that day it shall come to pass, 
that the glory of : Ja'cob shall be made thin, 
and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 

5 And c it shall be as when the harvestman 
gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with 
his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth 
ears in the valley of Reph'a-im. 

6 If Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, 
as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three 
berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four 
or five in the outmost fruitful branches 
thereof, saith the Lord God of Is'ra-el. 

7 At that May shall a man "^ook to his 
Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the 
Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

8 And he shall not look to the altars, the 
work of his hands, neither shall respect that 
which his fingers have made, either the groves, 
or the images. 

9 ""In that day shall his strong cities be as 
a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, 



b. For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up: for 
in the going down of Horomaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruc- 
tion. (Jer. 4S:5.) 

Chapter 16. 

a'. And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto 
the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand 
rams, with the wool. (II Ks. 3:4.) 

b. Thus saith the Lord: Execute ye judgment and righteousness, 
and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no 
wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, 
neither shed innocent blood in this place. (Jer. 22:3.) 

c. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom that 
all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion 
is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom 
that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:14.) And he shall reign over 
the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 
(Luke 1:33.) 

d. We have heard the pride of Moab (he is exceeding proud), his 
loftiness, and his arroganey. and his pride, and the haughtiness of his 
heart. (Jer. 4S:29.) This shall they have for their pride, because they 
have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord 
of hosts. fZeph. 2:10.) 

e. And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land 
cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells 
of water, and felled all the good trees; only in Kir-haraseth left they 
the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it. and smote it. 
(II Ks. 3:25.) Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day o( 
Jerusalem: who said. Rase it. rase it. even to the foundation thereof. 
<Ps. l " 



f. Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab. saith the Lord, him that 
offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods. 
(Jer. 48:35.) He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dihon, the high places, 
to weep: Moab shall howl over Xebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads 
shall be baldness, and every beard cut off. (Is. 15:2.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. Fulfilled 740 B. C. 

And tte king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria 
went up against Damascus, and took it. and carried the people of it 
captive to Kir, and slew Rezin. (II Ks. 16:9.) Thus saith the Lord; For 
three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away 
the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with thresh- 
ing instruments of iron. (Amos 1:3.) The burden of the word of the 
Lord in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: 
when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward 
the Lord. (Zech. 9:1.) 

b. And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of 
the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth: and none shall fray them 
away. (Jer. 7:33.) 

c. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter 
of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little 
while, and the time of her harvest shall come. (Jer. 51:33.) 

d. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their of- 
fence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. 
(Hos. 5:15.) Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, 
and he will heal us: he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. (Hos. 
6:1.) Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my 
salvation: my God will hear me. (Mic. 7:7.)

which they left because of the children of Is'- 
ra-el: and there shall be desolation. 

10 ^Because thou hast forgotten the God of 
thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of 
the rock 'of thy strength, therefore shalt thou 
plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with 
strange slips: 

11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to 
grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy 
seed to nourish: but the harvest shall be a 
heap in the day of grief and of desperate 
sorrow. 

12 f Woe to the multitude of many people, 
which make a noise like the noise of the seas; 
and to the rushing of nations, that make a 
rushing like the rushing of "mighty waters! 

13 The nations shall rush like the rushing 
of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, 
and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased 
as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, 
and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. 

14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and 
before the morning he is not. This is ''the por- 
tion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them 
that rob us. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 God in care of his people will destroy the 
Ethiopians. 1 An access thereby shall grow 
unto the church. 

1 Woe 'to the land shadowing with wings, 
which is beyond the rivers of E-thi-o'pi-a: 

2 That sendeth ambassadors by the 2 sea, 
even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, 
saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation 
scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from 
their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out 
and trodden down, whose land the rivers have 
spoiled! 

3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwell- 
ers on the earth, see ye, when ye lifteth up an 
ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth 
a trumpet, hear ye. 

4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take 
my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling 
"place like a clear heat 6 upon herbs, and like 
a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 

5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is 
perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the 
flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with 
pruning hooks, and take away and cut down 
the branches. 

6 They shall be left together unto the fowls

ble from theh 1 beginning hitherto; a nation 
meted out and trodden under foot, whose land

name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zl'on. 

CHAPTER 19. 

1 The confusion of Egypt. 18 The calling of 
Egypt to the church. 23 The covenant of 
Egypt, Assyria, and Israel. 

1 The burden of "E'gypt. Behold, the Lord 
6 rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come 
into E'gypt: and the idols of E'gypt shall be 
moved at his presence, and the heart of E'gypt 
shall melt in the midst of it. 

2 And I will set the E-gyp'tians. against 
the c E-gyp'tian§ : and they shall fight every 
one against his brother, and every one against 
his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom 
against kingdom. 

3 And the spirit of E'gypt shall fail in the 
midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel 
thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and 
to the charmers, and to them that have famil- 
iar spirits, and to the wizards. 

4 And the "E-gyp'tian§ will I give over into 
the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king 
shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord 
of hosts. 

5 'And d the waters shall fail from the sea, 
and the river shall be wasted and dried up. 

6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; 
and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and 
dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither. 

7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the 
mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by 
the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and 
be no more. 

8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they 
that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, 
and they that spread nets upon the waters 
shall languish. 

9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and 
they that weave networks, shall be confounded. 

10 And they shall be broken in the purposes 
thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for 
fish. 



e. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel (13). 
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great tilings in Egypt. 
(Ps. 106:13, 21.) 

f. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, 
my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my 
salvation, and my high tower. (Ps. 18:2.) For thou art my rock and 
my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. (Ps. 
31:3.) To show that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is 
no unrighteousness in him. (Ps. 92:15.) O come, let us sing unto the 
Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. (Ps 95:1.) 

g. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thund- 
ereth: the Lord is upon many waters. (Ps. 29:3.) And there came one 
of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, say- 
ing unto me, Come hither: 1 will show unto thee the judgment of the 
great whore that sitteth upon many waters (1). And he saith unto me, 
The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and 
multitudes and nations, and tongues. (Rev. 17:1, 15.) 

h. So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love 
him be as the sun, when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had 
rest forty years. (Jud. 5:31.) Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as 
to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison (9). Which perished at 
Endor: they became as dung for the earth (10). Make their nobles like 
Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, all their prices as Zebab, and as Zalmunna (11); 
Who said, let us take to ourselves the house of God in possession (12). 
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind (13). 
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on 
fire (14) ; So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid 
with thy storm (15). Fill their faces with shame: that they may seek thy 
name, Lord (16). Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, 
let them be put to shame and perish. (Ps. 83:9-17.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the in- 
habitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose 
her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. (Is. 26:21.) I will go 
and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek 
my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. (Hos. 5:15.) 

b. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers 
that water the earth. (Ps. 72:6.) And he shall be as the light of the 
morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the 



tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. 
(II Sam. 23:4.) God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount 
Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of 
his praise. (Hab. 3:3.) 

c. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the 
daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. (Zeph. 3:10.) For 
from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my 
name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall 
be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my -name shall be 
great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai 1:11.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God: 
Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whore- 
dom after their abominations? (30). For when ye offer your gifts, when 
ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with 
all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O 
house of Israel? as I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be enquired of 
by you (31). And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, 
that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the country, to 
serve wood and stone. (Ez. 20:30-32.) See Jer. 46:13-26. 

b. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was 
under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub and did fly: yea, he did 
fly upon the wings of the wind. (Ps. 18:9, 10.) Who layeth the beams 
of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his cha'riot: 
who walketh upon the wings of the wind. (Ps. 104:3.) Jesus saith unto 
him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you. Hereafter shall ye 
see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in 
the clouds of heaven. (Mat. 26:64.) 

c. And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every 
man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host, and the 
host fled to Beth-shittah, in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah. 
unto Tabbath. (Jud 7:22.) And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Ben- 
jamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went 
on beating down one another. (I Sam. 14:16.) 

d. Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will plead thy cause, 
and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her 
springs dry. (Jer. 51:36.) And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the 
land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and

11 If Surely the princes of Zo'an are fools, 
the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pha'- 
raoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pha'- 
raoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of 
ancient kings? 

12 Where e are they? where are thy wise 
men? and let them tell thee now, and let them 
knew ''what the Lord of hosts hath purposed 
upon Egypt. 

13 The princes of Zo'an are become fools, 
the princes of_ Noph are deceived; they have 
also seduced E'gypt, even ^they that are the 
stay of the tribes thereof. 

14 The Lord hath mingled a ''perverse spirit 
in the midst thereof: and they have caused 
E'gypt to err in every work thereof, as a 
drunken man staggereth in his vomit. 

15 Neither shall there be any work for 
E'gypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, 
may do. 

16 In that day shall E'gypt 'be like unto 
women : and it shall be afraid and fear because 
of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of 
hosts, which he shaketh over it. 

17 And the land of Ju'dah shall be a terror 
unto E'gypt, every one that maketh mention 
thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of 
the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he 
hath determined against it. 

18 If In that day shall five cities in the land 
of E'gypt speak the languages of Canaan, and 
swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be 
called, The city of destruction. - 

19 In that day shall there be an 2 al_tar to 
the Lord in the midst of the land of E'gypt, 
and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. 

20 And ■'it shall be for a sign and for a 
witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of 
E'gypt: for they shall cry A 'unto the Lord be- 
cause of the oppressors, and he shall send 
them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall 
'deliver them. 

21 And the Lord shall be known to E'gypt, 
and the E-gyp'tians. shall know the Lord in 
that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; 
yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and 
perform it. 

22 And the Lord shall smite E'gypt: he 
shall smite and heal it: and they shall return 
even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of 
them, and shall heal them.

CHAPTER 20. 

A type prefiguring the shameful captivity of 

Egypt and Ethiopia. 

1 J In the year that 2 Tar'tan came unto Ash'- 
dod, (when Sar'gon the king o*f As-syr'i-a 
sent him,) and fought against Ash'dod, and 
took it; 

2 At the same time spake the Lord by I-sa'- 
iah the son of A'moz, saying, Go and loose 
a the 3 sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off 
thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, ''walk- 
ing naked and barefoot. 

3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant 
I-§a'iah hath walked naked and barefootthree 
years c for_a sign and wonder upon E'gypt^ 
and upon E-thi-o'pi-a; 

4 So shall the king of As-syr'i-a lead away 
the E-gyp'tian§ prisoners, and the E-thi-5'pi- 
an§ captives, young and old, naked and bare- 
foot, s even with their buttocks uncovered, to 
the shame of E'gypt. 

5 And r they shall be afraid and ashamed of 
E-thi-6'pi-a their expectation, and of E'gypt 
their glory. 

6 And the inhabitant of this 4 isle shall say 
in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, 
whither we flee for help to be delivered from 
the king of As-syr'i-a: and how shall we es- 
cape?

all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord have spoken it. 
(Ez. 30:12.) 

e. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer 
of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 
(I Cor. 1:20.) 

f. The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, 
so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand (24). 
This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is 
the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. (Is. 14:24, 26.) For 
the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I 
raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name 
might be declared throughout all the earth. (Rom. 9:17.) 

g. I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: 
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of 
Israel and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children 
of Sheth. (Num. 24:17.) 

h. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will 
go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. 
And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and 
do so. (I Ks. 22:22.) For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit, 
of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, 
the seers hath he covered. (Is. 29:10.) 

1. The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have re- 
mained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: 
they have burned their dwelling-places: her bars are broken. (Jer. 51:30.) 
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy 
land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy 
bars. (Nan. 3:13.) 

j. Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not 
for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice (26): But that it may be a witness 
between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do 
the service of the Lord before him with our burnt offerings, and with 
our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not 
say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the Lord. (Josh. 
22:26. 27.) 

k. And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, be- 
cause we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: 
but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve 
thee. (I Sam. 12:10.) The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, 
to all that call upon him in truth. (Ps. 145:18.) Let us lift up our heart 



with our hands unto God in the heavens. (Lam. 3:41.) Ask, and it shall 
be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh find- 
eth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Mat. 7:7, 8.) And he 
spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, 
and not to faint. (Luke 18:1.) 

1. Be not afraid of their faces; for I am with thee to deliver thee, 
saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my 
helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:6.) If 
it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning 
fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. (Dan. 
3:17.) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for 
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen. 
(Mat. 6:13.) . Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and fore- 
knowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified 
and slain. (Acts 2:23.) Thou art my hiding place: thou shalt preserve 
me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. 
Selah. (Ps. 32:7.) What shall we then say to these things? if God be 
for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

m. And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy 
upon her *;hat had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which 
were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art 
my God. (Hos. 2:23.) Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also 
of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also. (Rom. 3:29.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be 
ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither £ball 
they wear a rough garment to deceive. (Zech. 13:4.) 

b. And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Sam- 
uel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. 
Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? (I Sam. 19:24.) 

c. Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for 
signs and for wonders in Israel, from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth 
in mount Zion. (Is. 8:18.) 

d. And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon 
me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and 
thy heels made bare. (Jer. 13:22.) 

e. Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, 
.even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and 

pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. (II 
Ks. 18:21.)

3 Therefore are my loins filled. with pain: 
pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs 
of a woman that travaileth : I was bowed down 
at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the 
seeing of it. 

4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted 
me: the night ''of my pleasure hath he turned 
into fear unto me. 

5 Prepare 'the table, watch in the watch- 
tower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint 
the shield. 

6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, 
set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. 

7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of 
horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of 
camels; and he hearkened diligently with 
much heed: 

8 And he cried, 3 A lion: My Lord, I stand 
continually upon the watchtower in the day- 
time, and I am set in my ward 'whole nights: 

■9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of 
men, with a couple of horsemen. And he an- 
swered and said, d Bab'y-lon is fallen, is fallen ; 
and all the graven images of her gods he hath 
broken unto the ground. 

10 ''my threshing, and the corn of my 
floor : that which I have heard of the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Is'ra-el, have I declared 
unto you. 

11 1 The burden of 5 Du'mah. He calleth to 
me out of Se'ir, Watchman, what of the night? 
Watchman, what of the night? 

12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, 
and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire 
ye: return, come. 

13 If The burden upon A-ra'bi-a. In the 
forest in A-ra'bi-a shall ye lodge, ye trav- 
elling companies of Ded'a-mm. 

14 The inhabitants of the land of Te'ma 
brought water to him that was thirsty, they 
prevented with their bread him that fled. 

15 For they fled from the swords, from the 
drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and 
from the grievousness of war. 

16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, 
Within a year, according to the years of an 
hireling, and all the glory of Ke'dar shall fail : 

17 And the residue of the number of arch- 
ers, the mighty men of the children of Ke'- 
dar, shall be diminished: for the Lord ^God of 
Is'ra-el hath spoken it. 



3. As a lion. 



4. Every night. 



5. Durnah means silence, emble- 
matic of the long silence which is to 
come over Edom. 



Ch. 22. B. C. 712. 



1. In this ch. is a prophecy against 
the people of Jerusalem because of 
the essentially heathen character 
which they have taken on. 



2. Jerusalem, the seat of divine 
revelations, and visions, "the nur- 
sery of prophets." 



3. Vs. 15-25 give the prophecy 
against Shebna, a scribe, the only in- 
stance of an individual being singled 
out as the subject of a prophecy by 
Isaiah. 



CHAPTER 22. 
1 The prophet lamenteth the invasion of Jewry 
by the Persians. 15 He prophesieth Sheb- 
na's deprivation, 20 and Eliakim, prefigur- 
ing the kingdom of Christ, his substitution. 

1 The 'burden of the valley "of vision. What 
aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up 
to the house tops? 

2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous 
city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain 
with the sword, nor dead in battle. 

3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are 
bound by the archers: all that are found in 
thee are bound together, which have fled from 
far. 

4 Therefore, said I, Look away from me; I 
will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, 
because of the spoiling of the daughter of my 
people. 

5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading 
down, and of perplexity a by the Lord God of 
hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down 
the walls, and of crying to the mountains. 

6 And ''E'lam bare the quiver with chariots 
of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the 
shield. 

7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest 
valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horse- 
men shall set themselves in array at the gate. 

8 H And he discovered the covering of Ju'- 
dah, and thou didst look in that day to the 
armour of the house of the forest. 

9 c Ye have seen also the breaches of the 
city of Da'vid, that they are many: and ye 
gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 

10 And ye have numbered the houses of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and the houses have ye broken 
down to fortify the wall. 

11 Ye made also a ditch between the two 
walls for the water of the old pool: but ye 
have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither 
had respect unto him that fashioned it long 
ago. 

12 And in that day did the Lord God of 
hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and 
to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 

13 And ^behold joy and gladness ; slaying 
oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drink- 
ing wine : e let us eat and drink ; for to morrow 
we shall die. 

14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the 
Lord of hosts, Surely this iniquity ''shall not 
be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord 
God of hosts. 

15 H 3 Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, 



Chapter 21. 

a. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest 
treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou 
shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make 
an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 
(Is. 33:1.) Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the 
sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven 
days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and 
healeth the stroke of their wound. (Is. 30:26.) 

b. In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at 
even thou shalt say, Would God that it- were morning! for the fear of 
thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes 
which thou shalt see. (Dt. 28:67.) 

c. In their heat I will make their feast, and I will make them 
drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not 
wake, saith the Lord.. (Jer. 51:39.) 

d. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her: take 
balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. (Jer. 51:8.) And there 
followed another angel saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, 
because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her 
fornication. (Rev. 14:8.) 

e. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter 
of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little 
while, and the time of her harvest shall come. (Jer. 51:33.) Arise and 
thresh, daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will 
make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people; and 
I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the 
Lord of the whole earth, (Mic. 4:13.) 

f. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath 
he spoken and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and 
hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of 
the daughter of Judah: he hath brought thern down to the ground: he 
hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof. (Lam. 2:2.) 



b. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of 
Elam, the chief of their might. (Jer. 49:35.) A grievous vision is de- 
clared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the 
spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, Media; all the sighing there- 
of have I made to cease. (Is. 21:2.) 

c. So there was gathered much people together who stopped all 
the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, 
saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water? 
(4). Also he strengthened himself and built up all the wall that was 
broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and 
repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in 
abundance (5). This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse 
of Gihon, and brought it straight down the west side of the city of David. 
And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. (II Chr. 32:4, 5, 30.) 

d. Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not 
hear the melody of thy viols (23), But let judgment run down as waters, 
and righteousness as a mighty stream. (Amos 5:23, 24.) Ye have lived 
in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your 
hearts, as in a day of slaughter. (Ja. 5:5.) 

e. If after the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephe- 
sus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not; let us eat and drink; 
for tomorrow we die. (I Cor. 15:32.) And as it was in the days of 
Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man (26). They did 
eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until 
the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed 
them all (27). Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat. 
they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded (28); But 
the day came that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone 
from heaven, and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:26-29.) 

f. And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the in- 
iquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for 
ever. (I Sam. 3:14.) In thy filthiness is lewdness; because I hava 
purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from 
thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 
(Ez. 24:13.)

get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Sheb'- 
na, which is over the house, and say, 

16 What hast thou here? and whom hast 
thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a 
sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a 
sepulchre on high, and that graveth an hab- 
itation for himself in a rock? 

17 Behold, the Lord will cany thee away 
with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover 
thee. 

18 He will surely violently turn and toss 
thee like a ball into a large country: there 
shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy 
glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. 

19 And I will -"drive thee from thy station, 
and from thy state shall he pull thee down. 

20 U And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that I will call my servant E-li'a-kim the son 
of Hil-kl'ah: 

21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, 
and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will 
commit thy government into his hand: and he 
shall be a ''father to the inhabitants of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and to the house of Ju'dah. 

22 And the key of the house of Dd'vid will 
I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and 
none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none 
shall open. 

23 And I will fasten him as ! 'a nail in a sure 
place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to 
his father's house. 

24 And they shall hang upon him all the 
glory of his father's house, the offspring and 
the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from 
the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of 
flagons. 

25 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall 
the nail that is fastened in the sure place be 
removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the 
burdeti that was upon it shall be cut off: for 
the Lord hath spoken it. 

CHAPTER 23. 

1 The miserable overthrow of Tyre. 17 Their 

unhappy return. 

1 The 'burden of a Tyre. Howl, ye ships of 
Tar'shish; for it is laid waste, so that there 
is no house, no entering in : from the land of 
Chit'tim it is revealed to them. 

2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou 
whom the merchants of Zi'don, that pass over 
the sea, have replenished. 

3 And by great waters the seed of Si'hor, 
the harvest of the T-iver, is her revenue; and 
she is a mart of nations. 

4 Be thou ashamed, Zi'don: for the sea

hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, say- 
ing, I travail not, nor bring forth children, 
neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring 
up virgins. 

5 As at the report concerning E'gypt, 6 so 
shall they be sorely pained at the report of 
Tyre. 

6 Pass ye over to Tar'shish; howl, ye inhab- 
itants of the isle. 

7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity 
is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry 
her afar off to sojourn. 

8 Who hath taken this counsel against 
Tyre, c the crowning city, whose merchants 
are princes, whose traffickers are the honour- 
able of the earth? 

9 The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to 
stain d the pride of all glory, and to bring into 
contempt all the honourable of the earth. 

10 Pass through thy land as a river, 
I daughter of Tar'shish : there is no more 
i strength. 

11 He stretched r out his hand over the sea, 
! he shook the kingdoms : the Lord hath given a 

commandment against the merchant city, to 
destroy the strong holds thereof. 

12 And 3 he said, ^Thou shalt no more re- 
joice, thou oppressed virgin, daughter of 
Zi'dSn: arise, pass over Chit'tim; there also 
shalt thou have no rest. 

13 Behold the land of the Chal-de'ans; this 
people was not, till the As-syr'i-an founded it 
for them that dwell in the wilderness : they set 
up the towers thereof, they raised up the pal- 
aces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. 

14 Howl, ye ships of Tar'shish: for your 
strength is laid waste. 

15 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, ac- 
cording to the days of one king: after the end 
of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 

16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou 
harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet 
melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be 
remembered. 

17 \[ And it shall come to pass after the end 
of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, 
and she shall turn to her hire, and ^shall com- 
mit fornication with all the kingdoms of the 
world upon the face of the earth. 

18 And her merchandise and her hire ft shall 
be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treas- 
ured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall 
be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat 
sufficiently, and for durable clothing. 



g. Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is 
proud, and abase him (11). Look on every one that is proud, and bring 
him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. (Job 40:11, 12.) 
And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought 
down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green 
tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken, and 
have done it. (Ez. 17:24.) 

h. I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I 
searched out. (Job 29:16.) The righteous eonsidereth the cause of the 
poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. (Prov. 29:7.) 

i. And now for a little space grace hath been shown from the 
Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail 
in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a 
little reviving in our bondage. (Ezra 9:8.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, 
she is broken that was the gates of the people; she is turned unto me: 
I shall be replenished now she is laid waste (2). Therefore thus saith 
the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Tyrus, and will cause 
many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to 
come up. (Ez. 26:2, 3.) Thus saith the Lord; for three transgressions 
of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 
because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered 
not the brotherly covenant (9) : But I will send a fire on the wall of 
Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof. (Amos 1:9, 10.) And 
Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very 
wise (2). And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver 
as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets (3). Behold, the 
Lord will cast her out, and we will smite her power in the sea; and 
she shall be devoured with fire. (Zech. 9:2-4.) 

b. In that day shall Egypt be like untcr women: and It shall be 
afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, 
which he shaketh over it. (Is. 19:16.) 

c. Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord 
God: Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, 



I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man. and 
not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God. (Ez. 28:2.) 

d. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness 
of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in 
that day. (Is. 2:11.) He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath 
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts (51). He hath 
put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 
(Luke 1:51, 52.) 

e. That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my moun- 
tains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them. 
and his burden depart from off their shoulders (25). This is the pur- 
pose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that 
is stretched out upon all the nations. (Is. 14:25, 26.) And Moses stretch- 
ed out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back 
by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land; and 
the waters were divided. (Ex. 14:21.) 

f. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and 
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, 
of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the 
sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee. (Rev. 18:22.) 

g. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven 
vials and talked with me, saying unto me. Come hither: I will show 
unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many 
waters (1) : With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornica- 
tion, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the 
wine of her fornication. (Rev. 17:1, 2.) 

h. And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift: even the 
rich among the people shall entreat thy favor. (Ps. 45:12.) The kings 
of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba 
and Seba shall offer gifts. (Ps. 72:10.) In that dav shall there be upon 
the bells of the horses. HOLINESS UXTO THE LORD; and the pots 
in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar (20). Yea. 
every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of 
hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe 
therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the 
house of the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 14:20, 21.)

1 The doleful judgments of God upon the land. 
13 A remnant shall joyfully praise him. 16 
God in his judgments shall advance his king- 
dom. 

1 'Behold, the Lord "maketh the 2 earth 
empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it 
upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhab- 
itants thereof. 

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so 
with the "priest; as with the servant, so with 
his master; as with the maid, so with her mis- 
tress; 6 as with the buyer, so with the seller; 
as with the lender, so with the borrower; as 
with the taker of usury, so with the giver of 
usury to him. 

3 The 4 land shall be utterly emptied, and 
utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this 
word. 

4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the 
world languisheth and fadeth away, the 
'haughty people of the earth do languish. 

5 The c earth also is defiled under the inhab- 
itants thereof; because they have transgressed 
the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the 
everlasting covenant. 

6 Therefore hath d the curse devoured the 
earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate : 
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are 
burned, and few men left. 

7 The new wine "mourneth, the vine lan- 
guisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. 

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of 
them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp 
ceaseth. 

9 They shall not drink wine with a song; 
strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink 
it. 

10 The city of confusion is broken down: 
every house is shut up, that no man may come 
in. 

11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; 
all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is 
gone. 

12 In the city is left 'desolation, and the gate 
is smitten with destruction. 

13 II When thus it shall be in the midst of 
the land among the people, there shall be as 
the shaking of an olive tree, and as the 
gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall 
cry aloud from the sea.

into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the 
midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: 
for the windows from on high are open, and the 
foundations of the earth do shake. 

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the 
earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved 
exceedingly. 

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a 
drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; 
and the transgression thereof shall be heavy 
upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that the Lord shall punish the host of the high 
ones that are on high, and the kings of the 
earth upon the earth. 

22 And they shall be gathered together, as 
prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall 
be shut up in the prison, and after many days

done wonderful things; 2 thy counsels 6 of old 
are faithfulness and truth.

a def enced city a ruin : a palace of ^strangers 
to be no city; it shall never be built.

thee, the city d of the terrible nations shall fear 
thee.

r 'poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, 



Chapter 24. 

a. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks*, and into the 
caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his maj- 
esty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. (Is. 2:19.) There- 
fore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her 
place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce 
anger. (Is. 13:13.) And in every place where the grounded staff shall 
pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and 
harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. (Is. 30:32.) See vs. 
19, 20. 

b. The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer re- 
joice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof 
(12). For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they 
were yet alive, for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, 
which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the 
iniquity of his life. (Ez. 7:12, 13.) 

c. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the 
voice of thy wife, and hath eaten of the tree, of which I commanded 
thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for. thy 
sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. (Gen. 3:17.) 
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, 
and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. (Lev. 18:25.) There- 
fore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have 
mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite 
and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his 
anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. (Is. 9:17.) 
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the 
land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed there- 
in, but by the blood of him that shed it. (Num. 35:33.) 

d. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the 
voice of the Lord thy, God, to observe to do all his commandments and 
his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall 
come upon thee, and overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) And he shall turn the 
heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their 
fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (Mai. 4:6.) 

e. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very 
treacherously against me, saith the Lord. (Jer. 5:11). A grievous vision 
is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and 
the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing 



thereof have I made to cease. (Is. 21:2.) Woe to thee that spoilest, and 
thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not 
treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be 
spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they 
shall deal treacherously with thee. (Is. 33:1.) Surely as a wife treacher- 
ously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with 
me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord. (Jer. 3:20.) 

f. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant 
of Moab, saith the Lord. (Jer. 48:43.) As if a man did flee from a 
lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand 
on the wall and a serpent bit him. (Amos 5:19.) And it shall come to 
pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and 
him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. (I Ks. 
19:17.) 

g. But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living 
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of an- 
gels. (Heb. 12:22.) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the 
first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there "was no 
more sea. (Rev. 21:1.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salva- 
tion: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's 
God, and I will exalt him. (Ex. 15:2.) Behold, God is my salvation; I 
will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength 
and my song; he also is become my salvation. (Is. 12:2.) Exalt ye the 
Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. (Ps. 99:5.) 

b. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent; hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he 
spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) 

c. And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for dragons, 
an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. (Jer. 51:37.) 

d. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth 
part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven 
thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God 
of heaven. (Rev. 11:13.) 

e. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his 
anointed. (Ps. 28:8.) Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily 
for me: for thou art my strength. (Ps. 31:4.) The Lord is my rock, and 
my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will

5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of 
strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the 
heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch 
of the terrible ones shall be brought low. 

6 f And in 6 this mountain shall the Lord of 
hosts make unto Ball people a feast of fo,t

7 And he ivill destroy in this mountain the

8 He will 'swallovj up death in victory; and 
the Lord God will 'wipe away tears from off 
all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he 
take aivay from off all the earth: for the 
Lord hath spoken it. 

9 f And it shall be said in that day, Lo, 
this is our God; we have waited for him, and

10 For in this mountain shall the hand of

eth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring 
doivn their pride together with the spoils of 
their hands. 

12 And the fortress w of the high fort of thy 
ivalls shall he bring down, lay loiv, and bring

CHAPTER 26. 
1 A song inciting to confidence in God, 5 for 
his judgments, 12 for his favour to his peo- 
ple. 20 An exhortation to wait on God. 

1 In Hhat day "shall this song be sung in 
the land of Ju'dah; We have a strong "city; 
salvation will God appoint for walls and bul- 
warks. 

2 Open 6 ye the gates, that the righteous 
f nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. 

3 Thou wilt keep him in ^perfect peace, 
whose mind is stayed on thee: because he 
trusteth c in thee. 

4 Trust "ye in the Lord for ever: for in the 
Lord JE-HO'VAH is 'everlasting strength: 

5 f-For he bringeth down them that dwell 
on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he 
layeth it 'low, even to the ground; he bring- 
eth it even to the dust. 

6 The foot shall tread it down, even the 
feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 

7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, 
-"most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. 

8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, 
Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of 
our soul is to 7i thy name, and to the remem- 
brance of thee. 

9 With my soul have I desired thee in the 
night; yea, with my spirit within me will I 
'seek thee early: for iwhen thy judgments are 
in the earth, the inhabitants of the world 'will 
learn righteousness. 

10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet 
will he not *learn righteousness; in the land of 
uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will 
not behold the majesty of the Lord. 

11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they 
will not see: but they shall see, and be 
'ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, 
the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. 



trust; my buckler, and the hern of my salvation, and my high tower. 
fPs. 18:2.) The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? 
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 
27:1.) But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their 
strength in the time of trouble. (Ps. 37:39.) 

f. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime 
from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm 
and from rain. (Is. 4:6.) And a man shall be as an hiding place from the 
wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, 
as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. (Is. 32:2.) 

g. And I say unto you. That many shall come from the east and 
west, and shall "sit down with Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob, in the 
kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 8:11.) And they shall come from the east, 
and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall 
sit down in the kingdom of God. (Luke 13:29.) 

h. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon 
their heart. (II Cor. 3:15.) Having the understanding darkened, being 
alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, 
because of the blindness of their heart. (Eph. 4:18.) 

i. I will ransom them from the powder of the grave; I will redeem 
them from death: death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy 
destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Hos. 13:14.) Then 
cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, 
even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority 
and power. (I Cor. 15:24.) And death and hell were cast into the lake 
of fire. This is the second death. (Rev. 20:14.) 

j. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, 
and shall lead them unto living fountains _o£ water: and God shall wipe 
awav all tears from their eyes. (Rev. 7:17.) And God shall wipe away 
all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither 
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former 
things are passed away. (Rev. 2 1 :4.) 

k. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: 
he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his 
younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a 
multitude of nations. (Gen. 4S:M.) Looking for that blessed hope, and 
the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. 
(Tit. 2:13.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. In that dav shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, 
and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that 
are escaped of Israel. (Is. 4:2.) And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, 
I -..ill praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is 
turned awav, and thou comfortedst me. (Is. 12:1.) 

h. Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and 
T will praise the Lord (19). This aate of the Lord into which the right- 
eous shall enter. (Ps. 118:19, 20.) 

c. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall 
glory. (Is. 45:25.) In righteousness shalt thou be established, thou shalt 
be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it 
shall not com.- nf;ar thee (14). Xo weapon that is formed against thee 
shall prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment 
thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, 
;, n ,] tl rousness is of me, sailh the Lord. (Is. 54:14, 17.) To ap- 

point unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, 
the oil of iov for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heav- 



iness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of 
the Lord, that he might be glorified. (Is. 61:3.) 

d. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the 
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart he troubled, neither let 
it be afraid. (Jno. 14:2*.) And the peace of God, which passeth all un- 
derstanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 
(Phil. 4:7.) 

e. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have 
trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. (Ps. 26:1.) I have 
hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. (Ps. 31:6.) 
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not 
fear what flesh can do unto- me. (Ps. 56:4.) In thee, O Lord, do I put 
my trust: let me never be put to confusion (1). Deliver me in thy 
righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and 
save me (2). Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continual- 
ly resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my 
rock and my fortress. (Ps. 71:1-3.) Let your conversation be without 
eovetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath 
said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (5). So that we may 
boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall 
do unto me. (Heb. 13:5, 6.) 

f. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, 
my strength, in whom I w-ill trust; my buckler, and the horn of my 
salvation, and my high tower (2). For who is God save the Lord? or 
who is a rock save our God? (31). The Lord liveth: and blessed be my 
rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. (Ps. 18:2, 31, 46.) Art 
thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? w T e shall not 
die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and O mighty God, 
thou hast established them for correction. (Hab. 1:12.) For thou art my 
rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake, lead me, and guide 
me. (Ps. 31:3.) 

g. He is the rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judg- 
ment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Dt. 
32:4.) Show me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths (4). Lead me in 
thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation: on thee 
do I wait all the day. (Ps. 25:4, 5.) Teach me thy way, O Lord, and 
lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. (Ps. 27:11.) 

h. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, 
declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is 
exalted. (Is. 12:4.) Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the 
name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the- sea. (Is. 24:15.) See 
v. 13. 

i. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy 
name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them 
that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and said 
unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is 
with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found 
of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I 
sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 
(Ps. 34:4.) 

j. Fill their faces with shame; that they mav seek thy name, O Lord. 
(Ps. 83:16.) 

k. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; 
lead me into the land of uprightness. (Ps. 143:10.)

12 TI Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us : for 
thou also hast wrought all our works in us. 

13 O Lord our God, other lords beside thee 
have had dominion over us: but by thee only 
will we make mention of thy name. 

14 They are dead, they shall not live; they 
are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore 
hast thou visited and destroyed them, and 
made all their memory to perish. 

15 Thou hast increased the nation, Lord, 
thou hast increased the nation: thou art glori- 
fied: thou hast removed it far unto all the 
ends of the earth. 

16 Lord, '"in trouble have they visited thee, 
they poured out a prayer when thy chastening 
was upon them. 

17 Like as a woman with child, that draw- 
eth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, 
and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been 
in thy sight, Lord. 

18 We have been with child, we have been 
in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind ; 
we have not wrought any deliverance in the 
earth; neither have the inhabitants of the 
world fallen. 

19 Thy dead men shall live, together with 
my dead body shall they arise. Awake and 
sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as 
the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out 
the dead. 

20 If Come, my people, enter Hhou into thy 
chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide 
thyself as it tvere "for a little moment, until the 
indignation be overpast. 

21 For, behold, the Lord °cometh out of his 
place to punish the inhabitants of the earth 
for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose 
her 7 blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

that smote, 4 him? or is he slain according to 
the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

CHAPTER 28. 

1 The prophet threateneth Ephraim for their 
pride and drunkenness. 16 Christ the sure

1 'Woe to 2 the crown of pride, to the drunk-

fading flower, which are on the "head of the fat 
valleys of them that are overcome with wine! 

2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and 
"strong one, "which as a tempest of hail and a 
destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters 
overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with 
the hand. 

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of 
E'phra-im, shall be trodden under feet: 

4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the

never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. (Ps. 31:1.) O my 
God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies tri- 
umph over me. (Ps. 25:2.) 

m. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their of- 
fence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. 
(Hos. 5:15.) And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is 
a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children 
are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. (Is. 
37:3.) 

n. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life; weep- 
ing may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Ps. 30:5.) 
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a 
far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (II Cor. 4:17.) 

o. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall de- 
vour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 
(Ps. 50:3.) For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will 
come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. (Mic. 1:3.) 
And Enoch also, the seventh from. Adam, prophesied of these, saying, 
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints. (Jude 14.) 

Chapter 27. 

a. But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, 
because they cannot be taken with hands. (II Sam. 23:6.) 

b. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and 
cast forth his roots as Lebanon (5). His branches shall spread, and his 
beautv shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. (Hos. 
14:5, 6.) 

c. Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would 
put strength in me. (Job 23:6.) There hath no temptation taken you 
but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer 
you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation 
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (I Cor. 10:13.) 

d. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which 



shall lie down, and none shall make fkem afraid. (Is. 17:2.) Because 
the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; 
the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, the joy of wild asses, a 
pasture of flocks. (Is. 32:14.) 

e. For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any un- 
derstanding in them. (Dt. 32:28.) The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass 
his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not con- 
sider. (Is. 1:3.) Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed 
times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of 
their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. (Jer. 
8:7.) 

f. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast for- 
gotten God that formed thee. (Dt. 32:18.) But now thus saith the Lord 
that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: 
for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 
(Is. 43:1.) 

g. Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou 
make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, 
and for the journeying of the camps. (Num. 10:2.) And he shall send 
his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather to- 
gether his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the 
other. (Mat. 24:31.) And the seventh angel sounded; and there were 
great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become 
the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for 
ever and ever. (Rev. 11:15.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and 
shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his 
anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and 
tempest, and hailstones. (Is. 30:30.) Say unto them which daub it with

bead of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, 
and as the hasty fruit before the summer; 
which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while 
it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. 

5 r In that 5 day shall the Lord of hosts be 
for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of 
beauty, under the residue of his people, 

6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that 
sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them 
that turn the battle to the gate. 

7 r But they also ^have erred through wine, 
and through strong drink are out of the way; 
the- priest e and the prophet have erred through 
strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, 
they are out of the way through strong drink; 
they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthi- 
ness, so that there is no place clean. 

9 U Whom ""shall he teach knowledge? and 
whom shall he make to understand doctrine? 
them that are weaned from the milk, and 
drawn from the breasts. 

10 For 'precept must be upon precept, pre- 
cept upon precept; line upon line, line upon 
line; here a little, and there a little: 

11 For with -stammering lips and another 
tongue will he speak to this people. 

12 To whom he 7 said, This fis the rest where- 
with ye may cause the weary to rest; and this 
is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them 
precept upon precept, precept upon precept; 
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and 
there a little; that they might go, and fall 
backward, and be 'broken, and snared, and 
taken. 

14 r Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, 
ye scornful ^fiien, that rule this people which 
is in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15 Because ye have said, We have made a 
covenant with death, and with hell are we at 
agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall 
pass through, it shall not come unto us: for' 
we have made lies our refuge, and under false- 
hood have we hid ourselves: 

16 r Therefore -thus saith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, I lay in Zi'on for a foundation 9a stone, 
a tried stone, a 'precious corner stone, a sure 
foundation: he that believeth shall not make 
haste. 

17 Judgment also will I lay 10 to the line, and 
righteousness to the plummet: and the "hail 
shall sweep away the. refuge of lies, and the 
waters shall overflow the hiding place.

disannulled, and your agreement with hell 
shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge

childish teaching.

Ch, 29. B, C. 712, 



1. Ch. 29 begins with the prophecy 
announcing the invasion of Jerusalem, 
its ultimate failure and unbelief, or 
the invasion of Judea under Sennach- 
erib.

shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden 
down by it. 

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall 
take you: for morning by morning shall it 
pass over, by day and by night: and it shall 
be a vexation only to understand the report. 

20 For the bed is shorter than that a man 
can stretch himself on it : and the covering nar- 
rower than that he can wrap himself in it. 

21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount 
Per'a-zim, he shall be tcroth as in the valley 
of Gib'e-on, that he may do his work, his 
strange work; and bring to pass his act, his 
strange act. 

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest 
your bands be made strong: for I have heard 
from the Lord God of hosts a ^consumption, 
even determined upon the whole earth. 

23 r , Give ye ear, and hear my voice; heark- 
en, and hear my speech. 

24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? 
doth he open and break the clods of 'his 
ground? 

25 When he hath made plain the face there- 
of, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and 
scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal 
wheat and the appointed barley and the rie 
in their place? 

26 For his God doth instruct "him to discre- 
tion, and doth teach him. 

27 For the fitches are not threshed with a 
threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel 
turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches 
are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin 
with a rod. 

28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will 
not ever be threshing it, nor break it with 
the wheel of his cart, nor .bruise it with his 
horsemen. 

29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of 
hosts, ''which is wonderful in counsel, and ex- 
cellent in working. 

CHAPTER 29. 

1 God's heavy judgment upon Jerusalem. 7 
The unsatiableness of her enemies. 9 The 
senselessness, 13 and deep hypocrisy of the 
Jews. 18 A promise of sanctification to the 
godly. 

1 2 Woe to A'ri-el, to 2 A'ri-el, the city where 
.David dwelt! add ye year to ^ear; let them 
kill sacrifices.

be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto 
me as A'ri-el. 

3 And I will camp against thee round about, 



b. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is de- 
ceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20:1.) Who hath woe? who hath 
sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds 
without cause? who hath redness of eyes? (29). They that tarry long 
at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine (30). Look not thou upon 
the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it 
moveth itself aright (31). At the last it biteth like a serpent, and 
stingeth like an adder. (Prov. 23:29-32.) It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it 
is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink (4). Lest 
they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the 
afflicted. (Prov. 31:4, 5.) Whoredom and wine and new wine take away 
the heart. (Hos. 4:11.) And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time 
your heart be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares 
of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. (Luke 21:34.) 
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the 
Spirit. (Eph. 5:18.) 

c. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb 
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. (Is. 
56:10.) For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self- 
willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthv 
lucre. (Tit. 1:7.) 

d. To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? 
behold, their ear is uncircumcised. and they cannot hearken: behold, the 
word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. 
(Jer. 6:10.) And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and 
the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a 
corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers. (Is. 30:20.) The 
Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know 
how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morn- 
ing by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. (Is. 50:4.) 
See v. 20. 

e. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips 



will I speak unto this people; and yet for all they will not hear me, 
saith the Lord. (I Cor. 14:21.) 

f. Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make 
about them walls, and .towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet 
before us: because we have sought the Lord our God, we have sought 
him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and pros- 
pered. (II Chr. 14:7.) 

g. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which 
is become the head of the corner. (Acts 4:11.) As it is written, Behold, 
I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever be- 
lieveth on him shall not be ashamed. (Rom. 9:33.) For the scripture 
saith, Whosoever believeth or him shall not be ashamed (11). For there 
is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord 
over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (Rom. 10:11, 12.) And are 
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ 
himself being the chief corner stone (20). In whom all the building fitly 
framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord (21). In whom 
ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 
(Eph. 2:20-22.) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold. 
I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth 
on him shall not be confounded (6). Unto you therefore which believe 
he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the 
builder disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. (I Pet. 
2:6, 7.) 

h. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a 
joyful noise unto him with psalms. (Ps. 95:2.) How precious also are 
thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! (17). If I 
should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I 
awake, I am still with thee. (Ps. 139:17, 18.) Great in counsel, and 
mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of 
men: to give every one according to his ways and according to the 
fruit of his doings. (Jer. 32:19.) O the depth of the riches both of the 
wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, 
and his ways past finding out! (Rom. 11:33.)

and will lay siege against thee with a mount, 
and I will raise forts against thee. 

4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt 
speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall 
be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, 
as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of 
the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out 
of the dust. 

5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers 
shall be like small dust, and the multitude of 
the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth 
away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. 

6 Thou shalt "be ^visited of the Lord of 
hosts 6 with thunder, and with earthquake, and 
great noise, with storm and tempest, and the 
flame of devouring fire. 

7 If And themultitude of all the nations that 
fight against A'ri-el, even all that fight against 
her and her munition, and that distress her, 
shall be as a dream of a night vision. 

8 It shall even be as when an hungry man 
dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awak- 
eth, and his soul is empty: or as when a 
thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drink- 
eth; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, 
and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multi- 
tude of all the nations be, that fight against 
mount Zi'on. 

9 If Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, 
and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; 
they stagger, but not with strong drink. 

10 For c the Lord hath poured out upon you 
the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your 
eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers 
hath he covered. 

11 And the vision of all is become unto you 
as the words of a book that is sealed, which 
men deliver to one that is learned, saying, 
Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; 
for it is sealed: 

12 And the book is delivered to him that is 
not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: 
d and he saith, I am not learned. 

13 If Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch 
e as this people draw, near me with their mouth, 
and with their lips do honour me, but have 
removed their heart far from me, and their 
fear toward me is taught by ''the precept °of 
men:

marvellous work among this people, even a 
marvellous work and a wonder: -''for the wis-

1. The prophecy of ch. 30 was 
probably delivered in the fall preced- 
ing the summer of 714 B. C. which 
was the year the Jews sent their am- 
bassadors to Egypt tt) form an alli- 
ance, thus seeming to rely upon Egypt 
instead of Jehovah. Isaiah denounces 
this conduct, as God had prohibited 
alliances with heathen nations, it be- 
ing a leading feature of Jewish policy 
that they should be a separate nation.

hid. 

15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide 
their counsel from the Lord, and their works 
are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? 
and who knoweth us? 

16 Surely your turning of things upside 
down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for 
shall the work say of him that made it, He 
''made me not? or shall the thing framed say 
of him that framed it, He had no understand- 
ing? 

17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Leb'- 
a-non shall be turned into a fruitful field, and 
the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? 

18 If And in that 'day shall the deaf hear the 
ivords of the book, and the eyes of the blind 
shall see out of obscurity, and out of dark- 
ness. 

19 i The meek also shall increase their joy 
in the Lord, and Hhe poor among men shall 
rejoice in the Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, 
and the scorner is consumed, and all that 
watch for iniquity are cut off: 

21 That make a man an offender for a word, 
and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the 
gate, and turn aside the just A 'for a thing of 
nought. 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who re- 
deemed A'bra-ham, concerning the house of Ja'- 
cob, Ja'cob shall not now be ashamed, neither 
shall his face now wax pale. 

23 But when he seeth his children, 'the work 
of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall 
sanctify '"my name, and sanctify the Holy 
One of Ja'cob, and shall "fear the God of Is'- 
ra-el. 

24 They also that erred in spirit shall come 
to understanding, and they that murmured 
shall learn doctrine. 

CHAPTER 30. 
1 The prophet threateneth the people for their 
confidence in Egypt, 8 and contempt of 
God's word. 18 God's mercies towards his 
church. 27 God's wrath, and the psople's 
joy, in the destruction of Assyria.

Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and

a. And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation 
which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where 
will ye leave your glory? (Is. 10:3.) They are dead, they shall not live; 
they are deceived, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and 
destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish (14). For, behold, 
the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth 
for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no 
more cover her slain. (Is. 26:14, 21.) Behold, the Lord hath a mighty 
and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a 
flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the 
hand. (Is. 28:2.) 

h. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against 
kindom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, 
in divers places. (Mat. 24:7.) For nation shall rise against nation, and 
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers 
places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings 
of sorrows. (Mk. 13:8.) And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, 
and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall 
there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11.) 

c. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of 
slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not 
hear); unto this day. (Rom. 11:8.) And with all deceivableness of unright- 
eousness in them that perish; because they receive not the love of truth, 
that they might be saved. (II Thes. 2:10.) Let their eyes be darkened, 
that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. (Ps. 69:23.) 
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut 
their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and 
understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. (Is. 6:10.) 

d. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the hook, even 
to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall 
be increased. (Dan. 12:4.) And I saw in the right hand of him that 
sat on the throne, a book written within and on the back side, sealed with 
seven seals. (Rev. 5:1.) And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the 
seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four 
beasts saying, Come and see. (Rev. 6:1.) 

e. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit hefore 
thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: 
for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after 



their covetcusness. (Ez. 33:31.) Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy 
of you, saying (7), This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth, 
and honoreth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. (Mat. 
15:7, 8.) 

f. (Touch not; taste not; handle not (21); Which are all to perish 
with the using;) After the commandments and doctrines of men? 
(Col. 2:21, 22.) 

g. Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts, Is wisdom no 
more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom 
vanished? (Jer. 49:7.) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of 
the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 
(I Cor. 1:19.) 

h. Nay, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? shall a 
thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? 
(Rom. 9:20.) 

i. These things have I spoken unto you that my joy might remain 
in you, and that your joy might be full. (Jno. 15:11.) 

j. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor 
of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath 
promised to them that love him? (Js. 2:5.) For ye see your calling, 
brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, 
not many noble, aye called (26). But God hath chosen the foolish things 
of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things 
of the world to confound the things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:26, 27.) 

k. To have respect of persons is not good: for a piece of bread 
that man will transgress. (Prov. 28:21.) 

1. Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land 
for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may 
he glorified. (Is. 60:21.) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ 
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should 
walk in them. (Eph. 2:10.) 

m. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any 
man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that 
God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be 
praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (I Pet. 4:11.)

themselves in the strength of Pha'raoh, and to 
trust in the shadow of Egypt! 

3 Therefore shall the strength of Pha'raoh 
be your 'shame, and the trust in the shadow of 
E'gypt your 'confusion. 

4 For his princes were at Zo'an, and his 
ambassadors came to Ha'nes. 

5 They were all ashamed of a people that 
could not profit them, nor be an help nor 
profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. 

6 The burden of the beasts of the south : 
into the land of trouble and anguish, from 
whence come the young and old lion, the viper 
and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their 
riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and 
their treasures upon the bunches of camels, 
to a people that shall not profit them. 

7 For & the E-gyp'tians shall help in vain, 
and to no purpose: therefore have I cried con- 
cerning this, Their strength is to sit still. 

8 If Xow go, write it before them in a table, 
and note it in a book, that it may be for the 
time to come for ever and ever : 

S That f 'this is a rebellious people, lying 
"children, children that will not hear the law 
of the Lord: 

10 Which d say to the seers, See not; and to 
the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right 
things, c speak unto us smooth things, prophesy 
deceits : 

11 Get fyou out of the way, turn aside out 
of the path, cause the Holy One of Is'ra-el to 
cease from before us. 

12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of 
Is'ra-el, Because ye despise this word, and 
trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay 
thereon : 

13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as 
a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high 
wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an 
instant. 

14 And -"he shall break it as the breaking of 
the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; 
he shall not spare: so that there shall not be 
found in the bursting of it a sherd to take 
fire from the hearth, or to take water withal 
out of the pit. 

15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy 
One of Is'ra-el; In returning and rest shall ye 
be saved: in quietness and in confidence shall 
be your strength : ''and ye would not.

pursue you be swift. 

17 ; One '"thousand shall flee at the rebuke of 
one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till 
ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a moun- 
tain, and as an ensign on an hill. 

18 r And therefore T will the -'Lord wait, that 
he may be gracious unto you, and therefore 
will he be exalted, that he may have '-'mercy 
upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: 
'blessed are all they that wait for him. 

19 For the people shall dwell in Zl'3n at 
Je-ru'sa-lehi : thou shalt weep no more: he will 
be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy 
cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer 
thee. 

20 And though the Lord give you the bread 
of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet 
shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner 
any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teach- 
ers: 

21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind 
thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, 
when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye 
turn to the left. 

22 ro Ye shall defile also the covering of thy 
graven images of silver, and the ornament of 
thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast 
them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt 
say unto it, Get thee hence. 

23 Then "shall he give the rain of thy seed, 
that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and 
bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall 
be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy 
cattle feed in large pastures. 

24 The oxen likewise and the young asses 
that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, 
which hath been winnowed with the shovel and 
with the fan. 

25 And there shall be upon every high moun- 
tain, and upon every high hill, rivers and 
streams of waters in the day of the great 
slaughter, when the towers fall. 

26 Moreover the light °of the moon shall be 
as the light of the sun, and the light of the 
sun shall be sevenfoldj as the light of seven 
days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the 
breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of 
their wound. 

27 r Behold, the name of the Lord cometh 
from far, burning with his anger, and the 
burning thereof is heavy: his lips are full of 
indignation, and his tongue as a devouring 
fire: 



b. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall re say to the 
king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pha- 
raoh's army which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt, into 
their own land. (Jer. 37:7.) 

c. And -he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what 
their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in 
whom is no faith. (Dt. 32:20.) Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with 
iniquity, a seed of evil doers, children that are corrupters: they have 
forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, 
they are gone away backward. (Is. 1:4.) 

d. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will punish 
them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daugh- 
ters shall "die by famine. (Jer. 11:22.) But ye gave the Xazarites wine 
to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. (Amos 
2:12.) Prophesy ye net, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not 
prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. (Mic. 2:6.) 

e. And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him. 
saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the 
king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one 
of them, and speak that which is good. (I Ks. 22:13.) If a man walk- 
ing in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee 
of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. 
(Mic. 2:11.) 

f. But Eiymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) 
withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. (Acts 
13:S.) 

g. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them 
in pieces like a potter's vessel. (Ps. 2:9.) And I will make Jerusalem 
heaps and a den of dragons: and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, 
without an inhabitant. (Jer. 9:11.) 

h. O Jerusalem. Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest 
them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy 
children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, 
and ye would not! (Mat. 23:37. 1 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, flut- 
tereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth 
them on her wings (11); So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was 
no stranea God with him. (Dt. 32:11. 12.) 

i. And five cf you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you 



shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you 
by the sword. (Lev. 2fi:S.) The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten 
before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee 
seven ways before them, and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of 
the earth. (Dt. 2S:25.) 

j. The Lord is net slack concerning his promise, as some men count 
slackness: but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should 
perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Pet. 3:9.) 

k. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) V.'ith the merciful 'thou wilt show thy- 
self merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. (Ps. 
1S:25.) Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say. Return, 
thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger 
to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep 
anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father 
also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) Hear me when I call, God of my 
righteousness; thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress: have mercy 
upon me, and hear my prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Be merciful unto me. O God, 
be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow 
of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. 
(Ps. 57:1.) 

1. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the 
Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed 
is the man that trusteth in him. (Ps. 34:8.) 

m. Xow when all this was finished, all Israel that were present 
went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut 
down the groves, and threw down the high places, and the altars out 
of all Judah and Benjamin, and Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they 
had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, 
every man to his possession, into their own cities. (II Chr. 31:1.) 

n. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) For bodily exercise 
profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise 
of the life that now is. and of that which is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

o. The sun shall be no more thy light by day: neither for brightness 
shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an 
everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. (Is. 60:19.)

28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, 
shall reach to the midst of the neck, to Psift 
the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there 
shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, 
causing them to err. 

29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night 
when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness 
of haart, as when one goeth with a pipe to 
come into the mountain of the Lord, to the 
mighty One of Is'ra-el. 

30 And the Lord shall cause his glorious 
voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting 
down of his arm, with the indignation of his 
anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, 
with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. 

31 For through the voice of the Lord shall 
the As-syr'i-an be beaten down, which smote 
with a rod. 

32 And in every place where the grounded 
staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon 
inm, it shall be with s tabrets and harps: and 
in battles of shaking will he fight with it. 

33 «For "To'phet is ordained of old; yea, for 
the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep 
and large: the pile thereof is fire and much 
wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream 
of brimstone, doth kindle it. 

CHAPTER 31. 
1 The prophet shoiceth the cursed folly in 
trusting to Egypt, and forsaking of God. 
8 He sheiveth the fall of Assyria. 

1 J Woe to them a that go down to E'gypt for 
help; and stay on horses, J and trust in chari- 
ots, because they are many; and in horsemen, 
because they are very strong; but they look 
not unto the Holy One of is'ra-el, ^neither 
seek the Lord! 

2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, 
and will not call back his words: but will 
arise against the house of the evildoers, and 
against the help of them that work iniquity. 

3 Now the E-gyp'tian§ are ''men, and not 
God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. 
When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, 
hoth he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is 
holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail 
together. 

4 For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me, 
Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on 
his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is 
called forth against him, he will not be afraid 
of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise 
of them: so shall the Lord of hosts come down 
to fight for mount Zi'on, and for the hill 
thereof.

tambourines were prominent in the

1. The prophecy of eh. 31 is a con- 
tinuation of the same woes as given 
in the prophecy of eh. 30. but was

2. Turn, because of the power and 
love of Jehovah just mentioned. 



Ch. 32. B. C. 713. 



1. In ch. 32 the scene changes 
from that of woe pronounced on the 
Jews because of their alliance with 
Egypt forward to the time when their 
punishment has been sufficient. They 
have returned to Jehovah, their God. 
and their desolations are represented 
as being succeeded by lasting peace 
and prosperity in the newly estab- 
lished kingdom of the Messiah. 



2. One who knows, but unwisely, 
viciously. 



Noble. 



4. One who is niggardly or stingy, 
who refuses to do his part. 



5. Beginning with v. 9. the proph- 
et addresses himself to the women, 
particularly in high life. 



6. Emblem of mourning and hu- 
miliation. 



5 As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts 
^defend Je-ru'sa-lem; defending also he will 
deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. 

6 If Turn ^ye unto him from whom the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el have deeply revolted. 

7 For in that day every man shall cast away 
his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which 
your own hands have made unto you for a sin. 

8 \ Then shall the As-syr'i-an f fall with the 
sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, 
not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he 
shall flee from the sword, and his young men 
shall be discomfited. 

9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold 
for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the 
ensign, saith the Lord, whose ^fire is in Zi'on, 
and his furnace in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER 32. 

1 The blessings- of Christ's kingdom. Desola*- 
tion is foresheivn. 15 Restoration is 2^1'om- 
ised to succeed. 

1 Behold, 1 a a king shall reign in righteous- 
ness, and princes shall rule in judgment. 

2 And a man shall be as an hiding place 
from the ivind, and a covert from the tempest; 
as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shad- 
ow of a great rock in a weary land. 

3 And h the eyes of them that see shall not 
be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall 
hearken. 

4 The heart also of the rash shall under- 
stand knowledge, and the tongue of the stam- 
merers shall be ready to speak plainly. 

5 The vile 2 person shall be no more called 
'liberal, nor the *churl said to be bountiful. 

6 For the vile person will speak villany, and 
his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypoc- 
risy, and to utter error against the Lord, to 
make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will 
cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 

7 The instruments also of the churl are evil : 
he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor, 
with lying words, even when the needy speak- 
eth right. 

8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; 
and by liberal things shall he stand. 

9 If Rise 5 up, ye women c that are at ease; 
hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear 
unto my speech. 

10 Many days and years shall ye be trou- 
bled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall 
fail, the gathering shall not come. 

11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be 
troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make 
you bare, and gird "sackcloth upon your loins. 



p. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall 
consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the bright- 
ness of his coming. (II Thes. 2:8.) 

q. And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the 
valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters -in 
the fire: which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. 
(Jer. 7:31.) 

Chapter 31. 

a. But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into 
Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he 
prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the 
covenant, and be delivered? (Bz. 17:15.) 

b. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remem- 
ber the name of the Lord our God. (Ps. 20:7.) An horse is a vain thing 
for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. (Ps. 
33:17.) At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that 
is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he 
shall not be put to death. (Dt. 17:6.) 

c. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: 
yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our Gcd, that we might turn 
from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. (Dan. 9:13.) They are 
all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are 
fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. (Hos. 7:7.) 

d. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom 
there is no help. (Ps. 146:3.) Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth 
thee. I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and know God, in the hand 
of him that slayeth thee. (Bz. 28:9.) Who opposeth and exalteth him- 
self above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as 
God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (II 
Thes. 2:4.) 

e. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt 
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (Ps. 91:4.) As 
an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad 
her wings, taketh them, bearetb them on her wings. (Dt. 32:11.) For 



I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant 
David's sake. (Is. 37:35.) 

f. And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went 
out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and 
five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they 
were all dead corpses. (II Ks. 19:35.) 

g. The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go 
out. (Lev. 6:13.) Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time 
of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the 
fire shall devour them. (Ps. 21:9.) For I, saith the Lord, will be- unto 
her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of 
her. (Zech. 2:5.) 

Chapter 32. 

a. Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto 
David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall 
execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Jer. 23:5.) Give the king thy 
judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son (1). He 
shall juds;e thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment 
(2). The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills by 
righteousness (3). He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the 
children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. (Ps. 
72:1-4.) And David my servant shall be king over them: and they all 
shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgment, and ob- 
serve my statutes, and do them. (Ez. 37:24.) 

b. And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and 
the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 
(Is. 29:18.) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, 
hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the 
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (II Cor. 4:6.) From hence- 
forth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the 
Lord Jesus (17). Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with 
your spirit. Amen. (Gal. 6:17, 18.) 

c. Woe. to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain 
of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house 
of Israel came! (Amos 6:1.)

12 They shall lament for the 'teats, for the 
pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 

13 Upon d the land of my people shall come 
up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses 
of joy in the joyous city: 

14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; 
the multitude of the city shall be left; the 
forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a 
joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; 

15 Until c the spirit be poured upon us from 
on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, 
and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. 

16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wil- 
derness, and righteousness remain in the fruit- 
ful field. 

17 And the work of righteousness shall be 
peace; and the effect of righteousness quiet- 
ness and assurance for ever. 

18 And my people shall dwell in a peace- 
able habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in 
quiet resting places; 

19 When it shall hail, coming down on the 
forest; and the city shall be low in a low 
place. 

20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, 
that send forth thither the feet of #the ox and 
the ass. 

CHAPTER 33. 

1 God's judgments against the enemies of the 

church. 13 The privileges of the godly. 

1 'Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast 
not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and 
they dealt not treacherously with thee! when 
thou "shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled ; 
and when thou shalt make an end to deal 
treacherously, they shall deal treacherously 
with thee. 

2 O Lord, be ^gracious unto us; we have 
waited for thee : be thou their arm every morn- 
ing, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 

3 At the noise of the 2 tumult the people 
fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations 
were scattered. 

4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the 
gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to 
and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. 

5 The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on 
high : he hath filled Zi'on with judgment and 
righteousness.' 

6 And wisdom 3 and knowledge shall be the 
stability of thy times, and strength of salva- 
tion : the fear of the Lord is his treasure. 

7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry with- 
out : -the ambassadors of peace shall weep 
bitterly. 

8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring 
man ceaseth : he hath broken the covenant, 



7. Meaning fertile fields which 
nourished life. 



S. Justice. 



Ch. 33. B. C. 713. 



1. This eh. closes the last of 
Isaiah's prophecies respecting the 
overthrow of Sennacherib, It should 
be observed that Sennacherib seems 
to be constantly growing in pride, 
oppression, arrogance, and strength. 
Also that in each of these woes pro- 
nounced in the last three chs. there is 
a gradual and constant gain in the 
element of promise to Judah. which 
is. doubtless, the cause of the reforms 
under Hezekiah. during whose reign 
these prophecies were uttered. 



2. Thus the coming of Jehovah is 
likened to the approach of a storm. 



Sacred wisdom or piety. 



4. If Jehovah's wrath could con- 
sume such a host in one night, who 
could endure it if continued for ever? 
(Mk. 9:44-4S.) 



Contains the answer to v. 14. 



he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no 
man. 

9 The earth mourneth and languisheth: 
Leb'a-non is ashamed and hewn down: Shar'- 
on is like a wilderness; and Ba'shan and Car'- 
mel shake off their fruits. 

10 Now d will I rise, saith the Lord; now 
will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. 

11 Ye shall conceive p chaff, ye shall bring 
forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall de- 
vour you. 

12 And the people shall be as the burnings 
of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned 
in the fire. 

13 If Hear, ye that are far off, what I have 
done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my 
might. 

14 The sinners in Zi'on are afraid; fearful- 
ness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who 
'among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? 
who among us shall dwell with everlasting 
burnings? 

15 He ^that walketh ''righteously, and speak- 
eth uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of 
oppressions, that shaketh his hands from hold- 
ing of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from 
hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from 
seeing evil; 

16 He shall dwell on high: his place of de- 
fence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread 
shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. 

17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his 
beauty: they shall behold the land that is very 
far off. 

18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where 
is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is 
he that counted the towers? 

19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, »a 
people of a deeper speech than thou canst per- 
ceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst 
not understand. 

20 Look upon Zi'on, the city of our solem- 
nities: thine eyes shall see Je-ru'sa-lem a quiet 
habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken 
down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever 
be removed, neither shall any of the cords 
thereof be broken. 

21 But there the * glorious Lord will be unto 
us a place of broad rivers and streams; where- 
in shall go no galley with oars, neither shall 
gallant ship pass thereby. 

22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is 
our lawgiver, the -Lord is our king; he will 
save us. 

23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not 
well strengthen their mast, they could not 
spread the sail: then is the prey of a great 
spoil divided; the lame take the prey. 



d. For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather 
them up. Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, 
nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles. (Hos. 
9:6.) 

e. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they" are created: and thou re- 
newest the face of the earth. (Ps. 104:30.) But ye shall receive power, 
after, that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses 
unto me bgtb. in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and 
unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8.) 

f. Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion and will dwell in 
the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth: 
and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain. (Zech. 8:3.) 

g. Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the 
number of the men was about five thousand. (Acts 4:4.) Unto me, who 
am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should 
preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And 
to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which, from 
the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things 
by Jesus Christ. (Eph. 3:8, 9.) The oxen likewise and the young asses 
that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed 
with the shovel and with the fan. (Is. 30:24.) 

Chapter 33. 

a. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that 
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the pa- 
tience and the faith of the saints. (Rev. 13:10.) 

b. And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto 
you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: 
for the Lord is a God of judgment, blessed are al! they that wait for him. 
For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep 
no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; 
when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. (Is. 30:18. 19.) 

c. And when they had called to the king, there came out to them 
Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna 



the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder (18). Then came 
Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna 
the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah, with 
their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. (II Ks. 
18:18, 37.) 

d. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now 
will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that 
puffeth at him. (Ps. 12:5.) And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, 
and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory 
of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth (19). To go 
into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for 
fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to 
shake terribly the earth. (Is. 2:19, 21.) 

e. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it 
were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the 
earth, neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. (Is. 26:18.) If I 
have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have 
delivered him that without cause is mine enemy). (Ps. 7:4.) Then, when 
lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, 
bringeth forth death. (Js. 1:15.) 

f. Lord, who shall abide in thv tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy 
holy hill? (Ps. 15:1.) Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or 
who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a 
pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn de- 
ceitfully. (Ps. 24:3, 4.) 

g. Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, 
saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation 
whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what thev say. 
(Jer. 5:15.) 

h. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of 
God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. (Ps. 46:4.) 
For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and 
will be the glory in the midst of her. (Zech. 2:5.)

CHAPTER 34. 

1 The judgments whereivith God revengeth his 
church. 11 The desolation of her enemies. 
16 The certainty of the prophecy. 

1 Come *near, ye 'nations, to hear; and 
hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all 
that is therein; the world, and all things that 
come forth of it. 

2 For the indignation of the Lord is upon 
all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: 
he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath de- 
livered them to the slaughter. 

3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and 
their stink shall come up out of their car- 
cases, and the mountains shall be melted with 
their blood. 

4 And "all the host of heaven shall be dis- 
solved, and the heavens shall be rolled to- 
gether as a scroll: and all their host sliall fall 
down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and 
as a falling fig from the fig tree. 

5 For 6 my sword shall be bathed in heaven: 
behold, it shall come down upon I-du-me'a, 
and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 

6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, 
it is made fat with fatness, and with the 
blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the 
kidneys of rams: ''for the Lord hath a sacri- 
fice in Boz'rah, and a great slaughter in the 
land of I-du-me'a. 

7 And the ''unicorns shall come down with 
them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and 
their land shall be soaked with blood, and 
their dust made fat with fatness. 

8 4 For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, 
and the year of recompences for the contro- 
versy of Zi'on. 

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned 
into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, 
and the land thereof shall become burning 
pitch. 

10 It shall not be ^quenched night nor day; 
the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from 
generation to generation it shall lie waste; 
none shall pass through it for ever and ever. 

11 H But the cormorant and the bittern shall 
possess it; the owl also and the raven shall 
dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it 
the line of confusion, and the stones of empti- 
ness. 



Ch. 04. B. C. 713. 



1. Chs. 34, 35 contain one proph- 
ecy, the last issued during the active 
life of Isaiah. The second series, be- 
ginning with ch. 40 (chs. 36-:S9 being 
largely historical), were prepared for 
the more private use of Isaiah's dis- 
ciples in the prophetic school at Je- 
rusalem. In this ch. are pronounced 
woes upon the enemies of God every- 
where of whom Edom is the repre- 
sentative. The main truth of all the 
prophecies is now being rapidly de- 
veloped — i. e.. God's enemies shall be 
punished; his own rebellious people 
disciplined, and finally delivered from 
all their enemies, when happier and 
more prosperous times shall come un- 
der Messiah. 



2. All creation is summoned to 
witness the final fate of Jehovah's 
enemies. 



Buffaloes. 



4. All wrongdoers everywhere 
must be punished and the cause of 
the church vindicated. 



Ch. 35. B. C. 713. 



1. See note 1, ch. 34. 



2. "The solitary place" mentioned 
in ch. 34. but now blossoming in lux- 
uriant growth. 



12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the 
kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her 
princes shall be nothing. 

13 And 'thorns shall come up in her palaces, 
nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: 
and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and 
a court for owls. 

14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also 
meet with the wild beasts of the island, and 
the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech 
owl also shall rest there, and find for herself 
a place of rest. 

15 There shall the great owl make her nest, 
and lay, and hatch, and gather under her 
shadow: there shall the vultures also be gath- 
ered, every one with her mate. 

16 If Seek ye out of 'the book of the Lord, 
and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall 
want her mate: #for my mouth it hath com- 
manded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. 

17 And he hath cast the Mot for them, and 
his hand hath divided it unto them by line: 
tbey shall possess it for ever, from generation 
to generation shall they dwell therein. 

CHAPTER 35. 
1 The joyful flourishing of Christ's kingdom. 
3 The weak are encouraged by the virtues 
and privileges of the gospel. 

1 The hvilderness and the "'solitary place 
shall be glad for them; and the desert shall 
rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice 
even with joy and singing: the glory of Leb'- 
a-non shall be given unto it, the excellency of 
Car'mel and Shdr'on, they shall see the glory 
of the Lord, and the excellency of our God. 

3 If Strengthen ye the weak hands, and con- 
firm the feeble knees. 

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, 
Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will 
come with vengeance, even God with a a recom- 
pence; he will come and save you. 

5 Then the b eyes of the blmd shall be 
opened, and c the ears of the deaf shall be un- 
stopped. 

6 Then shall the d lame man leap as an hart, 
and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the 
wilderness shall waters break out, and streams 
in the desert. 

7 And the parched ground shall become a 
pool, and the thirsty land springs of ivater: 
in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, 
shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 



i. In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of 
Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of 
Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I re- 
serve. (Jer. 50:20.) And so all Israel shall he saved: as it is written, 
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away un- 
godliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall 
take away their sins. (Rom. 11:26, 27.) And I heard a great voice out 
of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he 
will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself 
shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all 
tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, 
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things 
are passed away. (Rev. 21:3, 4.) 

Chapter 34. 

a. And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and 
make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the 
moon shall not give her light. (Ez. 32:7.) The sun and the moon shall 
be darkened, and the stars shrill withdraw their shining. (Joel 3:15.) 

b. For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, 
that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall de- 
vour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood; for the 
Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river 
Euphrates. (Jer. 46:10.) Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, 
but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord 
of hosts. They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call 
them The border of wickedness, and. The people against whom the Lord 
hath indignation for ever. (Mai. 1:4.) 

c. For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall 
become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities 
thereof shall be perpetual wastes. (Jer. 49:13.) Hold thy peace at the 
presence of the Lord God; for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the 
Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. (Zeph. 1:7.) 

d. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from 
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. 
(Mat. 25:41.) And again they said, Alleluia! And her smoke rose up 
for ever and ever. (Rev. 19:3.) 

e. For, lo, they are gone because of destruction. Egypt shall gather 
them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, 



nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles. (Hos. 
9:6.) 

f. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. (Ps. 119:45.) 
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the 
Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written 
before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his 
name. (Mai. 3:16.) 

g. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he 
spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) And also the 
Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he 
should repent. (I Sam. 15:29.) The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; 
but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (Is. 40:8.) For verily I 
say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in 
no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat. 5:18.) Heaven and 
earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away. (Luke 21:33.) 

h. He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an 
inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their 
tents. (Ps. 78:55.) 

Chapter 35. 

a. See d, ch. 11, Is. 

b. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay 
of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 
And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is, by in- 
terpretation, Sent). He went his way therefore, and washed, and 
came seeing. (Jno. 9:6, 7.) 

c. Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again 
those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, 
and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead 
are raised up, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them. (Mat. 
11:4, 5.) 

d. Jesus saith unto him. Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And im- 
mediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: 
and on the same day was the sabbath. (Jno. 5:8, 9.) Then Philip went 
down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the 
people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, 
hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, cry- 
ing with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them:

c the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall 
be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools,

beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found

CHAPTER 36. 
1 Sennacherib invadeth Judah. 4 Rabshakeh, 
sent by Sennacherib, by blasphemous persua- 
sions soliciteth the people to revolt. 

1 Now : it c came to pass in the fourteenth 
year of king Hez-e-ki'ah, that Sen-nach e-rib 
king of As-syr'i-a came up against all the de- 
fenced cities of Ju'dah,_and took them. 

2 And the king of As-syr'i-a sent Rab'sha- 
keh from La'chish to Je-ru'sa-lem unto king 
Hez-e-ki'ah with a great army. And he stood 

'by the conduit of the upper pool in the high- 
way of the fuller's field. 

3 Then came forth unto him E-li'a-kim, 
Hil-ki'ah's son, which was over the house, and 
Sheb'na the scribe, and Jo'ah, A'saph's son, 
the recorder. 

4 *" And Rab'sha-keh said unto them, Say 
ye now to Hez-e-ki'ah, Thus saith the great 
king, the king of As-syr'i-a, What confidence 
is this wherein thou trustest? 

5 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain 
words) I have counsel and strength for war: 
now on whom dost thou trust, that thou re- 
bellest against me? 

6 Lo, thou trustest in the l staff of this 
broken reed, on E'gypt; whereon if a man lean, 
it will go into his hand, and pierce it : so is 
Pharaoh king of E'gypt to all that trust in 
him. 

7 But if thou say to me, We 'trust in the 
Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places 
and whose altars Hez-e-ki'ah hath taken away, 
and said to Ju'dah and to Je-ru'sa-lem. Ye 
shall worship before this altar? • 

8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, 
to my master the king of As-syr'i-a, and I will 
give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able 
on thy part to set riders upon them. 

9 How then wilt thou turn awav the face 



3. The enemies of God shall be 
scattered and no longer give trouble. 
Thus are embraced all the Gospel 
promises In this complete and perfect 
redemption. 



Ch. 33. B. C. 713-710. 



1. Chs. 36-39 form the historical 
appendage closing the first division 
of Isaiah, which were added to mate 
more intelligible the parts of the 
prophecies referring to Assyria. These 
chs. record Sennacherib's invasion 
and the great slaughter of his armies. 



2. Vs. 14-1S contain the special 
pleadings with the people against 
Hezekiah's influence and also against 
Jehovah. 



of one captain of the least of my master's 
servants, and put thy trust on E'gypt for chari- 
ots and for horsemen? 

10 And am I now come up without the Lord 
against this, land to destroy it? the Lord said 
unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy 
it. 

11 U Then said E-li'a-kim and Sheb'na and 
Jo'ah unto Rab'sha-keh, Speak, I pray thee, 
unto thy servants in the Syr'i-an language; for 
we understand it: and speak not to us in the 
Jews' language, in the ears of the people that 
are on the wall. 

12 r But Rab'sha-keh said, Hath my master 
sent me to thy master and to thee to speak 
these words? hath he not sent me to the men 
that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their 
own dung, and drink their own piss with you? 

13 Then Rab'sha-keh stood, and cried with 
a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, 
Hear ye the words of the great king, the king 
of As-syr'i-a. 

14 -Thus saith the king, Let not Hez-e-ki'ah 
deceive you: for he shall not be able to de- 
liver you. 

15 Neither let Hez-e-ki'ah make you trust 
in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely de- 
liver us: this city shall not be delivered into 
the hand of the king of As-syr'i-a. 

16 Hearken not _ to Hez-e-ki'ah: for thus 
saith the king of As-syr'i-a, ''Make an agree- 
ment with me by a present, and come out to 
me: e and eat ye every one of his vine, and 
every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every 
one the waters of his own cistern; 

17 Until I come and take you away to a 
land like your own land, a land of corn and 
wine, a land of bread and vineyards. 

18 Beware lest Hez-e-ki'ah persuade you, 
saying, The Lord will deliver us. Hath any 
of the gods of the nations delivered his land 
out of the hand of the king of As-syr'i-a? 

19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Ar - 
phad? where are the gods of Seph-ar-va'im? 
and have they delivered Sa-ma'ri-a out of my 
hand? 

20 Who are they among all the gods of these 
lands, that have delivered their land out of 
my hand, that the ^Lord should deliver Je- 
ru'sa-lem out of my hand? 

21 But they held their peace, and answered 
-"him not a word: for the king's commandment 
was, saying, Answer him not. 

22 ""then came E-li'a-kim, the son of Hil- 



ar.d many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And 
there was great joy in that city. (Acts 8:5-8.) 

e. Awake: awake: put en thy strength, Zion; put on thy beautiful 
garments, "O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no 
more come into thee the uneircumeised and the unclean. (Is. 52:1.) 
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither 
whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie; but they which are 
written in the Lamb's book of life. (Rev. 21:27.) 

f. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause 
the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in 
the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the 
places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to 
come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. (Ez. 
34:25. 26.) 

g. Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with 
singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.: they 
shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. 
(Is. 51:11.) 

h. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the 
voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of cry- 
ing. (Is. 65:19.) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: 
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither 
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 
(Rev. 21:4.) 

Chapter 36. 

a. Xow in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib 
king of Assvria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took 
them, fll Ks. 18:13.) 

b. And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord. 
because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. When 
they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their 
shoulders: and when thev leaned unon thee, thou brealtest and madest 
all their loins to be at a stand. (Ez. 29:6. 7.) 

C. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have 
trusted also in the Lord: therefore I shall not slide. (Ps. 26:1.) I have 
hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. (Ps. 
31:6.) In God I will praise his word: in God I have put my trust; I will 



not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Ps. 53:4.) I will say of the Lord. 
He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in him will I trust. (Ps. 
91:2.) And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and 
the children which God hath given me. (Heb. 2:13.) Blessed is the man 
that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) Let 
your conversation be without covetousness: and be content with such 
things as ye have: for he hath said. I will never leave thee, nor for- 
sake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I 
will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:5, 6.) 

d. Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because 
God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he 
urged him, and he took it. (Gen. 33:11.) Then David put garrisons in 
Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and 
brought gifts. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. 
(II Sam. 8:6.) 

e. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig 
tree: and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of 
hosts hath spoken it. (Mie. 4:4.) 

f. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence: thou thoughtest 
that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, 
and set them in order before thine eyes. (Ps. 50:21.) They are corrupt, 
and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set 
their mouth against the heavens: and their tongue walketh through the 
earth. (Ps. 73:8, 9.) Xow if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the 
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and 
all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have 
made, well: but if ye worship not, .ye shall be cast the same hour into 
the midst of a burning fiery furnace: and who is that God that shall 
deliver you out of my hands. (Dan. 3:15.1 And he opened his mouth 
in blasphemy against God. to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, 
and them that dwell in heaven. (Rev. 13:6.) 

g. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he 
that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. (Prov. 9:7.) An- 
swer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 
tProv. 26:4.) Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast 
ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, 
and turn again and rend you. (Mat. 7.6.)

ki'ah, that was over the household, and Sheb'- 
na the scribe, and Jo'ah, the son of A'saph, 
the recorder, to Hez-e-ki'ah with their clothes 
rent, and told him the words of Rab'sha-keh. 

CHAPTER 37. 
1 Hezekiah mourning sendeth to Isaiah to 
pray for them. 8 Sennacherib sendeth a 
blasphemous letter to Hezekiah. 21 Isaiah's 
prophecy of the pride and destruction of 
Sennacherib, and the good of Zion. 37 Sen- 
nacherib is slain at Nineveh by his own 
sons. 

1 \And °it came to pass, when king Hez-e- 
ki'ah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and 
covered himself with "sackcloth, and went 
''into the house of the Lord. 

2 And he sent E-H'a-kim, who was over the 
household, and Sheb'na the scribe, and the 
elders of the priests covered with -sackcloth, 
unto I-sa'iah the prophet the son of A'moz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hez- 
e-ki'ah, This day is a day of trouble, and of 
rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children 
are come to the birth, and there is not strength 
to bring forth. 

4 It may "be the Lord thy God will hear 
the words of Rab'sha-keh, whom the king of 
As-syrl-a his master hath sent to reproach 
the living God, and will reprove the words 
which the Lord thy God hath heard: where- 
fore 'lift up thy prayer for the remnant that 
is left. 

5 So the servants of king Hez-e-ki'ah came 
to I-sa'iah. 

6 r And I-sa'iah said unto them, Thus shall 
ye say unto your master, Thus saith the Lord, 
Be not afraid of the words that thou hast 
heard, wherewith the servants of the king of 
As-syrl-a have blasphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will d send a blast upon him, and 
he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own 
land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword 
in his own land. 

8 r So Rab'sha-keh returned, and found the 
king of As-syr'i-a warring against f Lib'nah : 
for he had heard that he was departed from 
La'chish. 

9 Andhe heard say concerning Tir'ha-kah 
king cf E-thi-o'pi-a, He is come forth to make 
war with thee. And when he heard it, he 
sent messengers to Hez-e-ki'ah, saying, 

10 4 Thus shall ye speak to Hez-e-kT'ah king 
of Ju'dah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom 
thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Je-ru'sa- 
lem shall not be given into the hand of the 
king of As-syr'i-a. 

11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings 
of As-syr'i-a have done to all lands by des- 
troying them utterly; and shalt thou be de- 
livered? 

12 Have the gods of the nations delivered 
them which my fathers have destroyed, as 
Go'zan, and Ha'ran, and Re'zeph, and the chil- 
dren of E'den which were in Te-las'sar?

13 Where is the king of Ha'math, and the 
king of Ar'phad, and the king of the city of 
Seph-ar-va'im, He'na, and I'vah? 

14 K 'And Hez-e-ki'ah received the letter 
from the hand of the messengers, and read it: 
and Hez-e-ki'ah went up unto the house of the 
Lord, and spread it before the Lord. 

15 And Hez-e-ki'ah prayed unto the Lord, 
saying, 

16 O Lord of hosts, God of is'ra-el, that 
dwellest ^between the °cherubim, thou art the 
God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of 
the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth. 

17 Incline i'thine ear, Lord, and hear; 
open thine eyes, O Lord, and see' and hear 
all the words of Sen-nach'e-rib, which hath 
sent to reproach the living God. 

18 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of As-syr'i-a 
have laid waste all the nations, and their coun- 
tries, 

19 And have cast their gods into the fire: 
for they were no gods, but the work of men's 
hands, wood and stone: therefore they have 
destroyed them. 

20 Now therefore, O Lord our God, save 
us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of 
the earth may know that thou art the Lord, 
even thou only. 

21 % Then I-sa'iah the son of A'moz sent 
unto Hez-e-ki'ah, saying, Thus saith the Lord 
God of Is'ra-el, Whereas thou hast prayed to 
me against Sen-nach'e-rib king of As-syr'i-a: 

22 This is the word which the Lord hath 
spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daugh- 
ter of Zi'on, hath despised thee, and laughed 
thee to scorn; the daughter of Je-ru'sa-lem 
hath shaken her head at thee. 

23 Whom hast thou reproached and blas- 
phemed? and against whom hast thou exalted 
thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? 
even against the Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

24 By thy servants hast thou reproached 
the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of 
my chariots am I come up to the height of 
the mountains, to the sides of Leb'a-non; and 
I will cut down the ''tall cedars thereof, and 
the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter 
into the height of his border, and Uhe forest 
of his Car'mel. 

25 I have digged, and drunk water; and 
with the sole of my feet have I dried up all 
the rivers of the besieged places. 

26 'Hast thou not heard long ago, how I 
have done it; and of ancient times, that I have 
formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that 
thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities 
into ruinous heaps. 

27 Therefore their inhabitants were *-'of small 
power, they were dismayed and confounded: 
they were as the grass of the field, and as the 
green herb, as the grass on the house tops, 
and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

b. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble them- 
selves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; 
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal 
their land. (II Chr. 7:14.) He shall call upon me, and I will answer 
him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. 
(Ps. 91:15.) 

c. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church: 
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the 
Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall 
raise him up: and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye 
mav be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avail- 
eth much. (Js. 5:14-16.) 

d. But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit 
from the Lord troubled him. (I Sam. 16:14.) 

e. Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with 
her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer, and Libnah with her 
suburbs. (Josh. 21:13.) When the king of Babylon's army fought against 
Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against 
Lachish and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the 
cities of Judah. (Jer. 34:7.) 



f. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee 
from above the mercyseat, from between the two cherubim which are 
upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in 
commandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 25:22.) 

g. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and be- 
hold our desolations, and the city. which is called by thy name: for we do 
not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for 
thy great mercies. (Dan. 9:1S.) 

h. And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful 
field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer 
fainteth. (Is. 10:18.) 

i. Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which 
dwelt solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in 
Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. (Mie. 7:14.) 

j. Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient 
times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou 
shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps. (II Ks. 
19:25.)

thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee Sr not.

tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore 
'will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle 
in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the 
way by which thou earnest. 

30 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye 
shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; 
and the second year that which springeth of 
the same: and in the third year sow ye, and 
reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit 
thereof. 

31 And the remnant that is escaped of the 
house of Ju'dah shall again take root down- 
ward, and bear fruit upward: 

32 For out of Je-ru'sa-lem shall go forth 
a remnant, and '"they that escape out of mount 
Zi'on: the "zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do 
this. 

33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning 
the king of As-syr'i-a, He shall not come into 
this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come 
before it with shields, nor cast a bank 
against it. 

34 By the way that he came, by the same 
shall he return, and shall not come into this 
city, saith the Lord. 

35 For I will °defend this city to save it 
for mine own sake, and for my servant Da'- 
vid's sake. 

36 Then the 7 angel ?of the Lord went forth, 
and smote in the camp of the As-syr'i-ans a 
hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and 
when they arose early in the morning, behold, 
they were all dead corpses. 

37 r So Sen-nach'e-rib king of As-syr'i-a de- 
parted, and went and returned, and dwelt at 
Nin'e-veh. 

38 And it came to pass, as he was worship- 
ping in the house of Nis'roch his god, that 
A-dram'me-lech and Sha-re'zer his sons smote 
him with the sword; and they escaped into 
the land of SAr-meni-a: and E'sar-had'don his 
son reigned in his stead.

A'moz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus 
saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for 
thou shalt 'die, and not live.

1. In this ch. are recorded Heze- 
kiah's great sickness and his 15 years 
increased lease of life in answer to 
prayer. 



2. About the time when Sennach- 
erib was providentially routed from 
the land. 



3. A sickness which from all ap- 
pearances was to prove fatal. 



4. Which was an indication of the 
ordinary course of the disease. But 
this 15 years of new lease of life was 
an illustration, not of a change of 
God's mind, but an illustration of 
God's dealings being unchangeably 
regulated by man's relations tu him. 



5. Earnestly plead with Jehovah. 



6. A proof that God will fulfill 
his promise that Hezekiah should go 
up into the house of the Lord. (II

throw its shadows backward as a 
sign to Hezekiah. (Josh. 10:12-14.)

that which is good in thy sight. And Hez-e- 
ki'ah wept sore. 

4 1 Then came the word of the Lord to 
I-sa'iah, saying, 

5 Go, and say to Hez-e-ki'ah, Thus saith 
the Lord, the God of Da'vid thy father, I have 
heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: be- 
hold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 

6 And I will deliver thee and this city out 
of the hand of the king of As-syr'i-a: and I 
will defend this city. 

7 And this shall be °a sign c unto thee from 
the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that 
he hath spoken; 

8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow 7 of 
the degrees, which is gone down in the sun 
dial of A'haz, ten degrees backward. So the 
sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it 
was gone down. 

9 If The writing of Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'- 
dah, when he had been sick, and was recov- 
ered of his sickness: 

10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I 
shall go to the gates of the grave: I am de- 
prived of the residue of my years. 

11 I said, I shall not see the Lord, even the 
Lord, d in the land of the living: I shall behold 
man no more with the inhabitants of the world. 

12 e Mine age is departed, and is removed 
from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off 
like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with 
pining sickness: from day even to night wilt 
thou make an end of me. 

13 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, 
so will he break all my bones: from day even 
to night wilt thou make an end of me. 

14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chat- 
ter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail 
with looking upward: Lord, I am oppressed; 
"undertake for me. 

15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken 
unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go 
softly all my years in the bitterness of my 
soul. 

16 Lord, by these things men live, and in- 
all these things is the life of my spirit : so wilt 
thou recover me, and make me to live. 

17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: 
but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it 
from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast 
all my sins behind thy back. 

18 For fthe grave cannot praise thee, death 
cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into 
the pit cannot hope for thy truth. 

19 The living, the living, he shall praise 
thee, as I do this day: ^the father to the chil- 
dren shall make known thy truth. 

20 The Lord was ready to save me: there- 
; fore we will sing my songs to the stringed 



1. And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the 
midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and 
there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. 
(Is. 30:28.) And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and 
I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, hcrses and horsemen, all 
of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with 
bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. (Ez. 38:4.) 

m. Yet a small number that escaped the sword shall return out of 
the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, 
that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose 
words shall stand, mine, or theirs. (Jer. 44:28.) 

n. For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that 
escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this. 
(II Ks. 19:31.) Of the increase of his government and peace there shall 
be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order 
it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth 
even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Is. 9:7.) 

o. And I will add unto thy days fifteen years: and I will deliver thee 
and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend 
this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. (II Ks. . 
20:6.) And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king 
of Assyria: and I will defend this city. (Is. 3S:6.) 

p. And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went 
rut, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and 
five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they 
were all dead corpses. (II Ks. 19:35.) And the Lord sent an angel, 
which" cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains 
in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face 
to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his God, they 
that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword. (II 
(2:21.) 



q. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day 
of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. (Gen. S:4.) 
Chapter 38. 

a. See II Ks. ch. 2. 

b. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my 
good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices 
thereof. (Xeh. 13:14.) 

c. And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the 
Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord 
the third day? (II Ks. 20:S.) Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz. 
saying, Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, 
or in the height above. (Is. 7:10, 11.) 

d. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that 
I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold 
the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple (4). I had fainted, 
unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the 
living. (Ps. 27:4, 13.) 

e. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent with- 
out hope. (Job 7:G.) My days are like a shadow that decliueth: and I 
am withered like grass. (Ps." 102:11.) 

f. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who 
shall give thee thanks? (Ps. 6:5.1 What profit is there in my blood, 
when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise me? shall it declare 
thy truth? (Ps. 30:9.) Shall thv loving-kindness be declared in the 
grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? (Ps. 88:11.1 Whatsoever thy 
hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: for there is no work, nor 
device, nor knowledse, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 
(Ecc. 9:10.) 

g. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt 
talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest 
by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Dt.

instruments all the days of our life in the 
house of the Lord. 

21 For ''I-sa'iah had said, Let them take a 
lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the 
boil, and he shall recover. 

22 Hez-e-ki'ah also had said, What °is the 
sign that I shall go up to the house of the 
Lord? 

CHAPTER 39. 

1 Merodach-baladan, sending to visit Hezeki- 
ah, hath notice of his treasures. 3 Isaiah 
foretelleth the Babylonian captivity. 

1 'At that ^time Me-ro'dach-bal'a-dan, the 
son of Bal'a-dan, king of Bab'y-lon, sent letters 
and a present to Hez-e-ki'ah: for he had heard 
that he had been sick, and was recovered^. 

2 And Hez-e-ki'ah was glad of them" and 
shewed them the house of his precious things, 
the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and 
the precious ointment, and all the house of his 
armour, and all that was found in his treas- 
ures: there was nothing in his house, nor in 
all his dominion, that Hez-e-ki'ah shewed them 
not. 

3 r Then came I-sa'iah the prophet unto 
king Hez-e-ki'ah, and said unto him, What said 
these men? and from whence came they unto 
thee? And Hez-e-ki'ah said, They are come 
from a far country unto me, even from Bab'y- 
lon. 

4 Then said he, What have they seen in 
thine house? And Hez-e-ki'ah answered, All 
that is in mine house have they seen: there is 
nothing among my treasures that I have not 
shewed them. 

5 Then said I-§a'iah to Hez-e-ki'ah, Hear 
the word of the Lord of hosts: 

6 ^Behold, the days come, a that all that is 
in thine house, and that which thy fathers 
have laid up in store until this day, shall be 
carried to Bab'y-lon: nothing shall be left, 
saith the Lord. 

7 And of thy sons that shall issue from. thee, 
which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; 
and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the 
king of Bab'y-lon. 

8 Then said Hez-e-ki'ah to I-sa'iah, Good 
'Ms the word of the Lord which thou hast spo- 
ken. He said moreover, For there shall be 
peace and truth in my days. 



9. What is the import or mcauiiig 
of the sign? 



Ch. 39. B. C. 712. 



1. In which is recorded the proph- 
ecy of the Jews' capture by Babylon. 



2. Soon after the recovery of Hez- 
ekiah. 



3. Days of captivity which were 
fulfilled in 120 years. This is the 
first intimation that the Jews had 
that they would be taken to Babvlon. 
The prophecies of Moses (Lev. 26:33; 
Dt. 2S:G4 and I Ks. 14:15) are all 
general. 



4. Hezekiah was pronounced the 
noblest royal character since David; 
and. as a reward for his loyalty to 
Jehovah, his days were closed in 
peace. 



Ch. 40. B. C. 712. 



1. Beginning with ch. 40 the re- 
maihing portion of the book consti- 
tutes what is known as the later 
prophecies of Isaiah. The 40th ch. 
records the prophecy known as "the 
prophecy of comfort to the fearful in 
Zion." 



2. The remnant, who are to be 
holy, purified of the idolatrous taint. 



3. Another name for God's people. 



4. The Jews understood it to be 
Elijah. (F.) 



5. That is, transitory. Only God's 
promises are permanent and stead- 
fast. 



0. Rather, wind of Jehovah.

1 The promulgation of the gospel. 3 The 
preaching of John Baptist. 9 The preach- 
ing of the apostles. 12 The prophet, by the 
omnipotency of God, 2G comforteth the 
people. 

1 Comfort 'ye, "comfort ye : my people, saith 
your God. 

2 Speak ye comfortably to 3 Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
cry unto her, that her warfare Ms accom- 
plished, that her iniquity is pardoned : for she 
hath received of the Lord's hand double for all 
her sins. 

3 If The voice of him that i crieth in the wil- 
derness, Prepare c ye the way of the Lord, 
make straight in the desert a highway for our 
God. 

4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every 
mountain and hill shall be made low: and the 
crooked shall be made straight, and the rough 
places plain: 

5 And the glory d of the Lord shall be re- 
vealed, and all flesh "shall see it together: for 
the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 

6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What 
shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the 
goodliness thereof is as the flower.of the field: 

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : 
because the spirit °of the Lord bloweth upon 
it: surely the people is grass. 

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth^ 
but c the word of our God shall stand for ever. 

9 If O Zi'on, that bringest good tidings, get 
thee up into the high mountain; O Je-ru'sa- 
lem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy 
voice 7 with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; 
say unto the cities of Ju'dah, Behold your Gocl! 

10 Behold, the Lord God will come with 
strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: 
behold, his reivard is with him, and his work 
before him. 

11 He shall ffeed his flock like a. shepherd: 
he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and 
carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead 
those that are with young.

hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with 
the span, and comprehended the dust of the 
earth in a measure, and weighed the moun-

(Ps. 78:3.) We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told 
us, what work thou didst iu their days, in the times of old. (Ps. 
44:1.) 

h. And Isaiah said. Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid 
it on the boil, and he recovered. (II Ks. 20:7.) 

Chapter 39. 

a. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a 
sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 
(Lev. 26:33.) And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the 
one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve 
other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood 
and stone. (Dt. 28:64.) For the Lord shall smite Israel, as a reed is 
shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, 
which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, 
because they have made their groves, provoking the Lord to anger. (I 
Ks. 14:15.) 

b. And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And 
he said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. (I Sam. 
3:18.) And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked 
shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: 
blessed be the name of the Lord. (Job 1:21.) I was dumb, I opened not 
my mouth; because thou didst it. (Ps. 39:9.) 

Chapter 40. 

a. And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though 
thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou com- 
fortedest me. (Is. 12:1.) Sing, O heaven; and be joyful, O earth: and 
break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his 
people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. (Is. 49-13.) Hear the 
word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and 
say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shep- 
herd doth his flock. For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed 
him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they 
shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the 
goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the 
young of the flock, and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered 
garden: And they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the 



virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will 
turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them 
rejoice from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with 
fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the 
Lord. (Jer. 31:10-14.) Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that 
we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the com- 
fort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. (II Cor. 1:4.) 

b. Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his 
days also like the days of an hireling? (Job 7:1.) But when the fulness 
of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made 
under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might 
receive the adoption of sons. (Gal. 4:4, 5.) 

c. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way 
before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his 
temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, 
he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) And thou, child, 
shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the 
face of the Lord to prepare his ways. (Luke 1:76.) 

d. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth 
be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen. (Ps. 72:19.) And the Word 
was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory 
as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (Jno. 
1:14.) Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, 
but was manifest in these last times for you. Who by him do believe 
in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that 
your faith and hope might be in God. (I Pet. 1:20, 21.) 

e. The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that 
Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be 
lifted up? who is this Son of man? (Jno. 12:34.) 

f. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for 
the sheep. (Jno. 10:11.) And I will set up one Shepherd over them, 
and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, 
and he shall be their shepherd. (Ez. 34:23.) 

g. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been 
his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recom- 
pensed unto him again? (Rom. 11:34, 35.) For who hath known the 
mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind 
of Christ. (I Cor. 2:16.)

''instructed him, and taught him in the path 
of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and 
shewed to him the way of understanding? 

15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a 
bucket, and are counted as the small dust of 
the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as 
a very little thing. 

16 And Leb'a-non s is not sufficient to burn, 
nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt 
offering. 

17 All nations before him are as nothing; 
and they are counted to him less than nothing, 
and vanity. 

18 If To whom then will ye liken God? or 
what likeness will ye compare unto him? 

19 The workman melteth a graven image, 
and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, 
and casteth silver chains. 

20 He that is so impoverished that he hath 
no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; 
he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to 
prepare a graven image, that shall not be 
moved. 

21 Have 'ye not known? have ye not heard? 
hath it not been told you from the beginning? 
have ye not understood from the foundations

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of 
the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as 
grasshoppers; -'that stretcheth out the heavens 
as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent 
to dwell in: 

23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he 
maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 

24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they 
shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not 
take root in the earth: and he shall also blow 
upon them, and they shall wither, and the 
whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 

25 *"To whom then will ye liken me, or shall 
I be equal? saith the Holy One. 

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold 
who hath created these things, that bringeth 
out their host by number: he calleth them all 
by names by the greatness of his might, for 
that he is strong in power; not one faileth. 

27 Why sayest thou, Ja'cob, and speakest, 
Is'ra-el, My way is hid from the Lord, and 
my judgment is passed over from my God? 

28 r Hast thou not known? hast thou not 
heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the 
Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, 
neither is weary? 'there is no searching of his 
understanding. 

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to 
them that have no might he increaseth 
strength. ■

and the young men shall utterly fall:

Ch. 41. B. C. 712. 



1. In ch. 41 the prophet gives 
many reasons why the Jews should 
have confidence in God's promises of 
delivering them; also he challenges 
the heathen nations, which are de- 
voted to idolatry, to make a test of 
their powers with his claims.

renew their strength; they shall mount up 
with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not 
be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. 

CHAPTER 41. 
1 God expostulateth with his people about his 
mercies to the church, 10 and about his 
promises. 

1 3 Keep "silence before me, islands; and 
let the people renew their strength: let them 
come near; then let them speak: let us come 
near together to judgment. 

2 Who raised up the righteous man from 
the east, called him to his foot, gave the na- 
tions before him, and made him rule over 
kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, 
and as driven stubble to his bow. 

3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even 
by the way that he had not gone with his feet. 

4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the 
generations from the beginning? I the Lord, 
the first, and with the last; I am he. 

5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of 
the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. 

6 They helped every one his neighbour; and 
every one said to his brother, Be of good 
courage. 

7 So the carpenter encouraged the gold- 
smith, and he that smootheth with the hammer 
him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready 
for the sodering: and he fastened it with 
nails, that it should not be moved. 

8 But thou, Is'ra-el, art my servant, Ja'cob 
whom I have chosen, the seed of A'bra-ham 
my 6 friend. 

9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends 
of the earth, and called thee from the chief 
men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my 
servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee 
away. 

10 % Fear thou not; c for I am with thee: be 
not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will 
strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I 
will uphold thee with the right hand of my 
righteousness. 

11 Behold, all 2 they that were incensed 
against thee shall be ^ashamed and confound- 
ed: they shall be as nothing; and they that 
strive with thee shall perish. 

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find 
them, even them that contended with thee: 
they that war against thee shall be as noth- 
ing, and as a thing of nought. 

13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy 
right hand, saying unto thee, Tear not; I will 
help thee. 

14 c Fear not, thou worm Ja'cob, and ye men 
of Is'ra-el; I will help thee, saith the Lord, 
<and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Is'ra-el. 



h. Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are 
high. (Job 21:22.) Behold, God exaiteth by his power: who teacheth like 
him? (Job 36:22.) 

i. The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament show- 
eth his handiwork. (Ps. 19:1.) Nevertheless he left not himself with- 
out witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and 
fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. (Acts 14:17.) 
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God 
hath shown it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the 
creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things 
that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are 
without excuse. (Rom. 1:19, 20.) 

j. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the 
waves of the sea. (Job 9:8.) Who coverest thyself with light as with a 
garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain. (Ps. 104:2.) 
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by 
his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. (Jer. 
10:12.) 

k. Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves, (for ye saw no 
manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb 
out of the midst of the fire,) Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you 
a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or 
female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of 
any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that 
ereepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters 
beneath the earth (15-18). Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the 
covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make you 
i graven image, or the likeness of any thing which the Lord thy God 
hath forbidden thee. (Dt. 4:15-18, 23.) 

1. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is in- 



finite. (Ps. 147:5.) O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and 
knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways 
past finding out! (Rom. 11:33.) 

m. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them he 
ashamed which transgress without cause. (Ps. 25:3.) And he said unto 
me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in 
weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, 
that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (II Cor. 12:9.) 

Chapter 41. 

a. But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silent 
before him. (Hab. 2:20.) Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he 
is raised up out of his holy habitation. (Zech. 2:13.) 

b. Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this 
land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy 
friend for ever? (II Chr. 20:7.) And the scripture was fulfilled which 
saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for right- 
eousness, and he was called the Friend of God. (Js. 2:23.) 

c. Be strong, and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: 
for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee. (Dt. 31:6.) What shall we then say to these 
things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) Thou 
shalt not be afraid of them; but shalt well remember what the Lord thy 
God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt. (Dt. 7:18.) For the Lord 
your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your 
enemies, to save you. (Dt. 20:4.) 

d. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak: 
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto 
thine adversaries. (Ex. 23:22.) 

e. For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at 
the latter day upon the earth. (Job 19:25.)

15 Behold, H will make thee a new sharp 
threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt 
thresh the mountains, and beat them small, 
and shalt make the hills as chaff. 

16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall 
carry tliem aivay, and the whirlwind shall 
scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the 
Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of 
Is ra-el. 

17 When the poor and needy seek water, 
and there is none, and their tongue faileth for 
thirst, 01 the Lord will hear them, I the God 
of Is'ra-el will not forsake them. 

18 I will open rivers in high places, and 
fountains in the midst of the valleys: I ivill 
make the wilderness a pool of water, and the 
dry land springs of water. 

19 / will plant in the wilderness the cedar, 
the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil 
tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and 
the pine, and the box tree together: 

20 That they may see, and know, and con- 
sider, and understand together, that the hand 
'•of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One 
of is'ra-el hath created it. 

21 3 Produce your cause, saith the Lord; 
bring forth your strong reasons, saith the 
King of Ja'cob. 

22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us 
what shall happen: let them shew the former 
things, what they be, that we may consider 
them, and know the latter end of them; or de- 
clare us things for to come. 

23 Shew the things that are to come here- 
after, that we may know that ye are gods : yea, 
do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, 
and behold it together. 

24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work 
of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth 
you. 

25 I have raised up one from the north, and 
he shall come: from the rising of the sun 
shall he call upon my name : and he shall come 
upon princes as upon mortar, and as the pot- 
ter treadeth clay. 

26 Who hath declared from the beginning, 
that we may know? and beforetime, that we 
may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none 
that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, 
yea, there is none that heareth your words. 

27 The first shall say to Zi'on, Behold, be- 
hold them: and I will give to Je-ru'sa-lem one 
that bringeth good tidings. 

28 For I beheld, and there was no man; 
even among them, and there was no counsellor, 
that, when I asked of them, could answer a 
word. 

29 Behold, they are 4 all vanity; their works 
are nothing: their molten images are wind and 
confusion.

CHAPTER 42. 
1 The office of Christ, graced with meekness 
and constancy. 10 An exhortation to praise 
God for his gospel. 17 He reproveth the 
people of incredulity. 

1 ^Behold a my '-servant, whom I uphold; 
mine elect, in whom my soul b delighteth; C I 
have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring 
forth judgment to the Gen'tlles. 

2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his 
voice to be heard in the street. 

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the 
smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall 
bring "forth d judgment unto truth. 

4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till 
he have set judgment in the earth: and the 
isles shall ivait for his law. 

5 II ''Thus saith God the Lord, he that crea- 
ted the heavens, and stretched them out; he 
that spread forth the earth, and that ivhich 
cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto 
the people upon it, and S2nrit to them that 
walk therein: 

6 / ''the Lord have called thee in righteous- 
ness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep 
thee, and give thee for a covenant of the peo- 
ple, for a light of the Gen'tlles; 

7 To open the blind eyes, to fbring out the 
prisoners from the prison, and them that sit 
in darkness out of the prison house. 

8 / Bam the "Lord: that is 7 my name: and 
my glory will I not give to another, neither 
my praise to graven images. 

9 Behold, the ^former things are come to 
pass, and new '^things do I declare: before they 
spring forth I tell you of them. 

10 v 'Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his 
praise from the end of the earth, ye that go 
down to the sea, and all that is therein; the 
isles, and the inhabitants thereof. 

11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof 
lift up their voice, the villages that "Kedar 
doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock 
sing, let them shout from the top of the moun- 
tains. 

12 Let them give glory unto the Lord, and 
declare his praise in the islands. 

13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, 
he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: 
he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against 
his enemies. 

14 / have long time holaen my peace; I 
have been still, and refrained myself : now will 
I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy 
and devour at once.

and dry up all their herbs; and I will make 
the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

f. Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn 
iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces 
many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their 
substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. (Mic. 4:13.) (For the 
weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the 
pulling down of strong holds.) (II Cor. 10:4.) 

g. The beasts of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: 
because I give waters in the -wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give 
drink to my people, my chosen. (Is. 43:20.) For I will pour water upon 
him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my 
Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. (Is. 44:3.) 
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath 
no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without 
money, and without price. (Is. 55:1.) 

h. And when ye see this, -your heart shall rejoice, and your bones 
shall flourish like an herb; and the hand of the Lord shall be known 
toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. (Is. 66:14.) 
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought 
this? (Job 12:9.) 

Chapter 42. 

a Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and 
oxtolled, and be very high. (Is. 52:13.) That it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I 
have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put 
my Spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. (Mat. 

b. And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in 



■whom I am well pleased. (Mat. 3:17.) To the praise of the glory of his 
grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved. (Eph. 1:6.) 

c. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of 
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit 
of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (Is. 11:2.) For he whom God 
hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by 
measure unto him. (Jno. 3:34.) 

d. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with 
judgment (2). He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the 
children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. (Ps. 
72:2, 4.) Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the 
earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with 
his truth. (Ps. 96:13.) 

e. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his 
foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he 
gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. 
(Is. 41:2.) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto 
David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and 
shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In h.s days Judah shall 
be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he 
shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jer. 23:5, 6.) 

f. And that they -may recover themselves out of the snare of th£ 
devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. (II Tim. 2:26.) For- 
asmuch then as the Children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also 
himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might 
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. (Heb. 2:14.) 

g. And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus 
shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

light before them, and crooked things straight. 
These things will I do unto them, and not for- 
sake them. 

17 r They shall be turned back, they shall 
be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven im- 
ages, that say to the molten images, Ye are 
our gods. 

18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye

19 Who 7i is blind, but my servant? or deaf, 
as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as 
he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's 
servant? 

20 Seeing many things, 'but thou observest 
not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. 

21 The Lord is well pleased for his right- 
eousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and 
make it honourable. 

22 "But this is a people robbed and spoiled; 
they are all of them snared in holes, and they 
are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, 
and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none 
saith, Restore. 

23 Who among you will give ear to this? 
who will hearken and hear for the time to 
come? 

24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Is'ra-el 
to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against 
whom we have sinned? for they would not 
walk in his ways, neither were they obedient 
unto his lav:. 

25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the 
fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: 
and it hath set him on fire round about, yet 
he 1= knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid 
it not to heart. 

CHAPTER 43.

of Is'ra-el, thy Saviour: I "gave Egypt for 
thy "ransom, E-thi-6'pi-a and Se'ba for thee. 

4 Since thou ? wast precious in my sight, 
thou hast been honourable, and I have loved 
thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and 
people for thy life. 

•5 Fear -"not: for I am with thee: I will bring 
thy seed from the east, and gather thee from 
the west; 

6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to 
the sotith. Keep not back: bring my sons from 
far, and my daughters from the ends of the 
earth ; 

7 Even every one that is called by my 
name: for 7 T have created him for my glory, 
I have formed him; yea, I have made him. 

8 *~ Bring forth the blind people that have 
eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, 
and let the people be assembled: who among 
them can declare this, and shew us former 
things? let them bring forth their witnesses, 
that they may be justified: or let them hear, 
and say, It is truth: 

10 Ye ! 'are my witnesses, saith the Lord, 
and my servant whom I have chosen: that 
ye may know and believe me, and understand 
that I am he: before me there was no God 
formed, neither shall there be after me.

there is no -'saviour. 

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I 
have shewed, when there was no '-'strange god 
among you: therefore ye are my witnesses,

i. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thy- 
self? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? (Rom. 
2:21.) 

Chapter 43. 

a. And Alcses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 
(Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good 
understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise en- 
dureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole 
matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole 
duty of man. (Eec. 12:13.) That all the people of the earth might know 
thehand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord 
your God for ever. (josh. 4:24.) .The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: 
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I 
hate. (Prov. 8:13.) How much better is it to get wisdom than gold? and 
to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver? (Prov. 16:16.) 

b. I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine 
hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant to the people, 
for a light of the Gentiles. (Is. 42:6.) For Jacob my jservant's sake, and 
Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed 
thee, though thou hast not known me. (Is. 45:4.) 

c. Be strong, and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: 
for the Lord thy God. he it is that doth go with thee: he will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee (6). And the Lord, he it is that doth go before 
thee: he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: 
fear not. neither be dismayed. (Dt. 31:6. S.) Thou shalt not be afraid 
of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto 
Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt. (Dt. 7:18.) 

d. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the 
midst of the fire, and they have no hurt: and the. form of the fourth is 
like the Son of God (25). And the princes, governors, and captains, and 
the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon 
whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, 
neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on 
them. (Dae 3:25. 27.) 



e. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh 
in his stead. (Prov. 11:8.) 

f. Xow therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall he a peculiar treasure unto me above all peo- 
ple: for all the earth is mine. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of 
priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak 
unto the children of Israel. (Ex. 19:5, 6.) For the Lord hath chosen 
Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. (Ps. 135:4.) 

g. Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord: 
neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and 
thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and 
shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. (Jer. 
30:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and 
keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13.) 
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the Lord 
men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

h. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good 
works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 
(Eph. 2:10.) 

i. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that 
time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God 
besides me? yea, there is no God: I know not any. (Is. 44:8.) Never- 
theless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and 
gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with 
food and gladness. (Acts 14:17.) He that believeth on the Son of God 
hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made fcim a 
liar: because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. (I 
Jno. 5:10.) 

j. Tell ye, and bring them near: yea, let them take counsel to- 
gether: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it 
from that time? have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides 
me: a just God, and a Saviour: there is none besides me. (Is. 45:21.) 
Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know 
no god but me; for there is no saviour besides me. (Hos. 13:4.) 

k. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abomina- 
tions provoked they him to anger. (Dt. 32:16.) There shall no strange 
god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. (Ps. 81:9.) 

1. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all 
thv cities? and thv judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and 
princes? (Hos. 13:10.)

horse, the army and the power; they shall lie 
down together, they shall not rise: they are 
extinct, they are quenched as tow. 

IS T Remember ye not the former things, 
neither consider the things of old. 

19 Behold, I will do a ; "new thing; now it 
shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will 
even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers 
in the desert. 

20 The beast of the field shall honour me, 
the dragons and the owls: because I give wa- 
ters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, 
to give drink to my people, my chosen. 

21 This people have I formed for myself; 
they shall shew forth my praise. 

22 r , But thou hast not called upon me, 
Ja'cob; but thou hast been weary of me, 
is'ra-el. 

23 Thou hast not brought me the small cat- 
tle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou 
honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not 
caused thee to serve with an offering, nor 
wearied thee with incense. 

24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with 
money, neither hast thou filled me with the 
fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to 
serve with thy sins, thou hast "wearied me 
with thine iniquities. 

25 I, even I, am he that °blotteth out thy 
transgressions Pfor mine own sake, and ewill 
not remember thy sins. 

26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead to- 
gether: declare thou, that thou mayest be 
justified. 

27 Thy 'first father hath sinned, and thy 
teachers have transgressed against me. 

28 Therefore I *have profaned the princes 
of the sanctuary, and have given Ja'cob to 
the curse, and Is'ra-el to reproaches. 

CHAPTER 44. 
1 God comforteth the church with his prom- 
ises. 21 He exhorteth to praise God for his 
redemption and omnipotency. 

1 J Yet 2 now T hear, a O Ja'cob my servant; and 
is'ra-el, whom I ha^e chosen: 

2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and 
formed thee from the womb, which will- help 
thee; 6 Fear not, Ja'cob, my servant; and 
thou, 2 Jes'u-run, whom I have chosen. 

3 For I will pour water upon him that is 
thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will 
pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing 
upon thine offspring: 

4 And they shall spring up as among the 
grass, as willows by the water courses.

other shall call himself by the name of Ja'- 
cob; and another shall subscribe with his hand 
unto the Lord, and surname himself by the 
name of is'ra-el. 

6 4 Thus saith the Lord the King of is'ra-el, 
and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; e I am the 
first, and I am the last; and beside me there 
is no God. 

7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall de- 
clare it, and set it in order for me, since I 
appointed the ancient people? and the things 
that are coming, and shall come, let them shew 
unto them. ; 

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not' 
I told thee from that time, and have declared 
it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God 
beside me? yea, d there is no God; I know, not 
any. 

9 1f They that make a graven image are all 
of them vanity: and their delectable things 
shall not profit; and they are 5 their own wit- 
nesses; they see not, nor know; that they may 
be ashamed. 

10 Who hath °formed a god, or molten a 
graven image that is profitable for nothing? 

11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ^ashamed: 
and the workmen, they are of men: let them 
all be gathered together, let them 7 stand up; 
yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed 
together. 

12 The smith with the tongs both worketh 
in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, 
and worketh it with the strength of his arms: 
yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: 
he drinketh no water, and is faint. 

13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; 
he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it 
with planes, and he marketh it out with the 
compass, and maketh it after the figure of a 
man, according to the beauty of a man; that 
it may remain in the house. 

14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh 
the cypress and the oak, which he strength- 
ened for himself among the trees of the for- 
est: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth 
nourish it. 

15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for 
he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, 
he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he mak- 
eth a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a 
''graven image, and faileth down thereto. 

16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with 
part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, 
and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and 
saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 



m. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old 
things are passed away: behold, all things are become new. (II Cor. 
5:17.) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his 
God, and he shall be my son. (Rev. 21:7.) 

n. Ye have wearied the Lord with your words: yet ye say, Wherein 
have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good 
in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the 
God of judgment? (Mai. 2:17.) 

o. In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of 
Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of 
Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I 
reserve. (Jer. 50:20.) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your 
sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from 
the presence of the Lord. (Acts 3:19.) 

p. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; 
I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's 
sake, which ye have profanea among the -heathen, whither ye went. 
(Ez. 36:22.) For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, 
and for my servant David's sake. (Is. 37:35.) For my name's sake will 
I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut 
thee not off (9). For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do 
it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory 
unto another. (Is. 1S:9, 11.) 

q. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: Though 
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be 
red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Is. 1:18.) Keep silence before 
me, O islands; and let the people renew, their strength: let them come 
near, then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. (Is. 
41:1.) He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us 
stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. (Is. 
50:8.) 

r. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death 
bv sin; and so death passed upon all. men, for that all have sinned. 
(Rom. 5:12.) 

s. The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and 



hath not pitied; he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of 
the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he 
hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof (2). The Lord hath 
cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into 
the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise 
in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast. (Lam. 2:2, 7.) 
Chapter 44. 

a. Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; 
neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and 
thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and 
shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. (Jer. 
30:10.) 

b. See g, eh. 43. 

c. Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am 
the first; I also am the last. (Is. 48:12.) I am Alpha and Omega, the 
beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and 
which is to come, the Almighty. (Rev. 1:8.) 

d. Unto thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the Lord 
he is God: there is none else beside him. (Dt. 4:35.) There is none holy 
as the Lord: for there is none besides thee; neither is there any rock 
like our God. (I Sam. 2:2.) 

e. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must 
needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for 
they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. (Jer. 10:5.) 

f. Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast 
themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. (Ps. 97:7.) Every man is 
brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven 
image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 
They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation 
they shall perish. (Jer. 10:14, 15.) Forasmuch then as we are the off- 
spring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, 
or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. (Acts 17:29.) But 
where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they 
can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of 
thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. (Jer. 2:28.)

17 And the residue thereof he maketh a 
god, even his graven 'image: he falleth down 
unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto 
it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. 

18 They have not known nor understood: 
for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot 
see; and their hearts, that they cannot under- 
stand. 

19 And none considereth in his heart, nei- 
ther is there knowledge nor understanding to 
say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, 
also I have baked bread upon the coals there- 
of; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and 
shall I make the residue thereof an abomina- 
tion? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? 

20 He feedeth on ashes: o& deceived heart 
hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver 
his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right 
hand? 

21 1 Remember these, Ja'cob and Is'ra-el; 
for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; 
thou art my servant: Is'ra-el, thou shalt not 
be forgotten of me. 

22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy 
transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: re- 
turn unto me; for I have ''redeemed thee. 

23 Sing, '0 ye heavens; for the Lord hath 
done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: 
break forth into singing, ye mountains, for- 
est, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath 
redeemed Ja'cob, and glorified himself in Is'- 
ra-el. 

24 Thus saith the Lord, thy ''redeemer, and 
he that formed thee from the womb, I am the 
Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth 
-'forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth 
abroad the earth by myself; 

25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, 
and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise 
men backward, and maketh their knowledge 
foolish; 

26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, 
and performeth the counsel of his messengers; 
that saith to Je-ru'sa-lem, Thou shalt be in- 
habited; and to the cities of Ju'dah, Ye shall 
be built, and I will raise up the decayed places 
thereof : 

27 '"That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I 
will dry up thy rivers: 

28 That saith of s Cy'rus, He is my shepherd, 
and shall perform all my pleasure: even say- 
ing to Je-ru'sa-lem, Thou shalt be built; and 
to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. 

CHAPTER 45. 
1 God calleth Cyrus for his church's sake. 5 
By his omnipotency he challengeth obedi- 
ence. 20 He convinceth the idols of vanity 
by his, saving power. 



8. Cyrus is here mentioned 170 
years before his coining; is here spo- 
ken of as the Lord's servant. 



Ch. 45. B. C. 712. 



1. Ch. 45 is a continuation of the

2. Hidden riches. Cyrus received 
from Croesus in Lydia alone over 100,- 
000,000 sterling. 



3. The holy spirit that righteous- 
ness may spring up. 



4. Woe is human presumption. 



5. Cyrus. 



1 'Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to 
Cy'rus, whose right hand I have holden, to 
subdue nations before him; and I will loose 
the loins of kings, to open before him the two 
leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 

2 I will go before thee, and make the crook- 
ed places straight: I will break in pieces the 
gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of 
iron: 

3 And I will give thee the treasures of 
darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, 
that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which 
call thee by thy name, am the God of is'ra-el. 

4 For Ja'cob my servant's sake, and Is'ra-el 
mine elect, I have even called thee by thy 
name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast 
not known me. 

5 11 am the Lord, and there is none else, 
there is no a God beside me: I girded thee, 
though thou hast not known me: 

6 That 6 they may know from the rising of 
the sun, and from the west, that there is none 
beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none 
else. 

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I 
make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all 
these things. 

8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and 
let the skies pour 'down righteousness: let the 
earth open, and let them bring forth sahmtion, 
and let righteousness spring up together; I 
the Lord have created it. 

9 Woe unto him "that striveth with his 
Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the pots- 
herds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him 
that °fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy 
work, He hath no hands? 

10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, 
What begettest thou? or to the woman, What 
hast thou brought forth? 

11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of 
Is'ra-el, and his Maker, Ask me of things to 
come concerning my sons, and concerning d the 
work of my hands command ye me. 

12 e I have made the earth, and created man 
upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out 
the heavens, and all their host have I com- 
manded. 

13 I have raised him 5 up in righteousness, 
and I will direct all his ways: he shall build 
'my city, and he shall let go my captives, not 
for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts. 

14 Thus saith the Lord L The labour of 
E'gypt, and merchandise of E-thi-5'pi-a and of 
the Sa-be'an§, men of stature, shall come over 
unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall 
come after thee; in chains they shall come 
over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they 



g. My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth 
unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and 
they have gone a whoring from under their God. (Hos. 4:12.) And for 
this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe 
a lie. (II Thess. 2:11.) 

h. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your 
body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (I Cor. 6:20.) Forasmuch as 
ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver 
and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your 
fathers; But with the precious blocd of Christ, as of a lamb without 
blemish and without spot. (I Pet. 1:18, 19.) 

i. Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing 
that moveth therein. (Ps. -69:34.) Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye 
holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. (Rev. 
18:20.) Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of 
the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, 
and the inhabitants thereof. (Is. 42:10.) 

j. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the 
waves of the sea. (Job 9:8.) Who coverest thyself with light as with a 
garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain. (Ps. 104:2.) It 
is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants there- 
of are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and 
spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. (Is. 40:22.) Thus saith God the 
Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that 
spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth 
breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein. 
(Is 12:5.) 

k. A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it 
is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. (.Ter. 
50:38.) One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet 
another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end. 



And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned 
with fire, and the men of war are affrighted (31, 32). Therefore thus 
saith the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for 
thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. (Jer. 
51:31, 32, 36.) 
Chapter 45. 

a. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way 
perfect. (Ps. 1S:32.) 

b. So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings 
of the earth thy glory. (Ps. 102:15.) For from the rising of the sun, 
even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be great among 
the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, 
and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, 
saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 1:11.) 

c. But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou 
our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. (Is. 64:8.) Nay but, 
O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed 
say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? (Rom. 9:20.) 

d. But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hand, in the 
midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One 
of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. (Is. 29:23.) Lord, thou wilt 
ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. 
(Is. 26:12.) But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and 
thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. (Is. 64:8.) 

e. Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and 
stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which 
cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and 
spirit to them that walk therein. (Is. 42:5.) I have made the earth, the 
man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and 
by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet 
unto me. (Jer. 27:5.) See v. 18. 

f. Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, the Lord God of heaven hath

shall make supplication unto thee, saying, 
"Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, 
there is no God. 

15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thy- 
self, O God of Is'ra-el, the Saviour. 

16 They shall be ashamed, and also con- 
founded, all of them: they shall go to con- 
fusion together that are makers of idols. 

17 But Is'ra-el shall be saved in the Lord 
with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be 
ashamed nor confounded world without end. 

18 For thus saith the Lord that created the 
heavens; God himself that formed the earth 
and made it; he hath established it, he crea- 
ted it not in vain, he formed it to be inhab- 
ited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. 

19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark 
place of the earth : I said not unto the seed 
of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: 7, I the Lord 
speak righteousness, I declare things that are 
right. 

20 1 Assemble yourselves and come; draw 
near together, ye that are 'escaped of the na- 
tions: they have no knowledge that set up the 
wood of their graven image, and pray unto a 
god that cannot save. 

21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let 
them take counsel together: who hath declared 
this from ancient time? who hath told it from 
that time? have not I the Lord? and there 
is no God else beside me; a just God and a 
Saviour; there is none beside me. 

22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the 
ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is 
none else. 

23 ■'T have sworn by myself, the word is 
gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and 
shall not return, That unto me every ' i 'knee 
shall bow, 'every tongue shall swear. 

24 Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have 
I "'righteousness and strength : even to him 
shall men come; and all that are incensed 
against him shall be ashamed. 

25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Is'ra-el 
be justified, and shall glory. 

CHAPTER 46. 
1 The idols of Babylon could not save them- 
selves. 3 God saveth his people to the end. 
5 Idols are not comparable to God for power. 

1 ?Bel 2 boweth a down, 3 Ne'bo stoopeth, their 
idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cat- 
tle: your carriages were heavy loaden; Hhey 
are a burden to the weary beast. 

2 They stoop, they bow down together; they 
could not deliver the burden, but themselves 
are gone into captivity. 

3 1f Hearken unto me, "house of Ja'cob, 
and all the remnant of the house of Is'ra-el, 
which are borne by me from the belly, which 
are carried from the womb: 



Ch. 46. B. C. 712. 



1. In ch. 46 the idols are over- 
thrown — hence, if they could not save 
themselves, much less could they save 
Babylon; but Jehova-h can and will 
save Israel, and Cyrus is to be his in- 
strument.

Babylon's gods, in this ch. is the 
downfall of Babylon. Judgment can- 
not be complete till both of them are 
destroyed. 



2. The proud, heretofore uncap- 
turcd, city. 



3. Alluding to the prostitution of 
all classes at religious rites. 



4. Take off thy veil, which is a 
mark of the lowest degradation. 



5. Divine threat against Babylon. 



6. Of all generations. 



7. The attitude of mourning. 



8. Mistress of the world. 



9. The hand of the Chaldeans or 
Babylonians. (II Chr. 36:17)— "There- 
fore he brought upon them the king 
of the Chaldees. who slew their young 
men with the sword in the house of 
their sanctuary and had no compas- 
sion upon young man or maiden, old 
man or him who stooped for age; he 
gave them all into his hands." 



4 And even to your old age I am he; and 
even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have 
made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and 
will deliver you. 

5 IF To whom will ye liken me, and make me 
equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 

6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh 
silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; 
and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, 
they worship. 

7 They c bear him upon the shoulder, they 
carry him, and set him in his place, and he 
standeth ; from his place shall he not remove : 
yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not 
answer, nor save him out of his trouble. 

8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men : 
bring it again to mind, ye- transgressors. 

9 ^Remember the former things of old: for 
I am God, and there is none else; I am God, 
and there is none like me, 

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, 
and from ancient times the things that are 
not yet done, saying, c My counsel shall stand, 
and I will do all my pleasure: 

11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, 
the man that executeth my counsel from a far 
country: yea, 1 have spoken it, I will also 
bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will 
also do it. 

12 % Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that 
"are far from righteousness : 

13 ''I bring near my righteousness; it shall 
not be far off, and my salvation shall not tar- 
ry: and I will place salvation in Zl'on for 
Is'ra-el my glory. 

CHAPTER 47. 
1 God's judgment upon Babylon and Chaldea, 
6 for their unmercifulness, 7 pride, and 
overboldness, 11 shall be unresistible. 

1 Come Mown, and sit in the dust, wirgin 
daughter of Bab'y-lon, sit on the ground: 
there is no throne, daughter of the Chal- 
de'an§: for thou shalt no more be called ten- 
der and Melicate. 

2 Take the "millstones, and grind meal; un- 
cover 4 thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover 
the thigh, pass over the rivers. 

3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, 
thy shame shall be seen: 6 I will take "venge- 
ance, and I will not meet thee as a man. 

4 °As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts 
is his name, the Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

5 Sit 7 thou c silent, and get thee into dark- 
ness, daughter of the Chal-de'an§: for thou 
shalt no more be called, the lady 8 of king- 
doms. 

6 H I was wroth with my people, I have 
polluted mine inheritance, and given them into 
"thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; 



given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build 
him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. (Ezra 1:2.) 

g. And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest: and so fall- 
ing down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you 
of a truth. (I Cor. 14:25.) 

h. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the com- 
mandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. (Ps. 19:8.) 

i. Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall 
escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through 
the countries. (Ez. 6:8.) 

j. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear 
by no greater, he sware by himself. (Heb. 6:13.) 

k. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow 
to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (Rom. 14:11.) 

1. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear 
by his name. (Dt. 6:13.) 

m. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us 
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. (I Cor. 
1:30.) 

Chapter 46. 

a. And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of 
his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not 
flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 
(Jer. 51:44.) 

b. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must 
needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for 
they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. (Jer. 10:5.) 

c. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about 



to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto 
the righteousness of God. (Rom. 10:3.) 

d. Remember the days of old, consider the years of many genera- 
tions: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will 
tell thee. (Dt. 32:7.) 

e. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his 
heart to all generations. (Ps. 33:11.) 

f. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised be- 
fore the world began. (Tit. 1:2.) 

g. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about 
to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves 
unto the righteousness of God. (Rom. 10:3.) 

h. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to 
faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 1:17.) But 
now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being wit- 
nessed by the Law and the Prophets. (Rom. 3:21.) 

Chapter 47. 

a. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified 
him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did 
grind in the prison house. (Jud. 16:21.) 

b. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto 
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 
(Rom. 12:19.) To me belongeth vengeance and recompense; their foot 
shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and 
the things that shall come upon them make haste. (Dt. 32:35.) 

c. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall he 
silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. (I Sam. 2:9.)

upon the I0 ancient hast thou very heavily laid 
thy yoke. 

7 r And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for 
ever: so that thou didst not lay these things 
to thy heart, neither didst remember the lat- 
ter end of it. 

8 "Therefore hear now this, thou that art 
given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, 
that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else 
beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither 
shall I know the loss of children: 

9 But these two things shall come to thee 
in a moment in one day, the loss of children, 
and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in 
their perfection for the multitude of thy sor- 
ceries, and for the great abundance of thine 
enchantments. , 

10 r For thou ^ast trusted in thy wicked- 
ness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy 
wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted 
thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, 
and none else beside me. 

11 ""Therefore shall evil come upon thee; 
thou shalt not know from whence it riseth : 
and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt 
not be able to put it off : and desolation e shall 
come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not 
know. 

12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and 
with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein 
thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be 
thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou may- 
est prevail. 

13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy 
counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star- 
gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, 
and save thee from these things that shall 
come upon thee. 

14 Behold, they shall be as f stubble; the fire 
shall burn them; they shall not deliver them- 
selves from the power of the flame : there shall ■ 
not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit be- . 
fore it. 

15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom 
thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from 
thy youth : they shall wander every one to his 
quarter; none shall save thee. 

CHAPTER 48. 
1 God, to convince the people of obstinacy, re- 
vealed his prophecies. 12 He exkorteth 
them to obedience. 

1 ""Hear ye this, house of Jacob, which 
are called by the name of Is'ra-el, and are 
come forth out of the waters of Ju'dah, a which 
swear by the name of the Lord, and make 
mention of the God of Is'ra-el, but not in 
truth, nor in righteousness.

suddenly, 6 and they came to pass. 

4 Because I knew that thou art 'obstinate, 
and -thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow 
brass ; 

5 I have even from the beginning declared 
it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it 
thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath 
done them, and my graven image, and my 
molten image, hath commanded them. 

6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not 
ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things 
from this time, even hidden things, and thou 
didst not know them. 

7 They are created now, and not from the 
beginning; even before the day when thou 
heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, 
Behold, I knew them. 

8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knew- 
est not; yea, from that time that thine ear 
was not opened: for I knew that thou would- 
est deal very treacherously, and wast called 
a transgressor from the womb. 

9 r For d my name's sake will I defer mine 
anger, and for my praise will I refrain for 
thee, that I cut thee not off. 

10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with 
silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of 
affliction. 

11 For mine own sake, even for mine own 
sake, will I do it: c for how should my name 
be polluted? and fl will not give my glory unto 
another. 

12 *" Hearken unto me. Ja'cob and Is'- 
ra-el, my called; s\ am he; I am the first, I 
also am the last. 

13 'Oline hand also hath laid the foundation 
of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned 
the heavens: when I call unto them, they 
stand up together. 

14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; 
which among them hath declared these things? 
The Lord hath loved him : he will do his pleas- 
ure on Bab'y-lon, and his arm shall be on the 
Chal-de'ans. 

15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called 
him: I have brought him, and he shall make 
his way prosperous. 

16 ^ Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; 
I have not spoken in secret from the begin- 
ning; from the time that it was, there am I: 
and now the 'Lord God, and his Spirit, hath 
sent me.

Holy One of is'ra-el; I am the Lord thy God 
which teacheth thee to profit, -'which leadeth 
thee by the way that thou shouidest go. 

18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my com- 
mandments! then had thy peace been as a 
river, and thy righteousness as the waves of 
the sea:

the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel 



d. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted 
in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wicked- 
ness. (Ps. 52:7.) The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is ex- 
ceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of per- 
verseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord 
seeth not. (Ez. 9:9.) 

e. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 
(Dan. 5:30.) They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were 
given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the 
flood came, and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:27.) 

f. For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are 
drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. 
(Nan. 1:10.) For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; 
and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble. (Mai. 
4:1.) 

Chapter 48. 

a. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear 
by his name. (Dt. 8:13.) 

b. There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had 
spoken unto the house of Israel: all came to pass. (Josh. 21:45.) 

c. And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and. be- 
hold, it is a stiff-necked people. (Ex. 32:9.) For I know thv rebellion, 
and thy stiff neck. (Dt. 31:27.) 

d. Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might 
make his mighty power to be known. (Ps. 106:8.) See v. 11. 



e. But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted 
before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made my- 
self known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egvpt. 
(Ez. 20:9.) 

f. I am the Lord; that is my name: and my glory will I not give to 
another, neither my praise to graven images. (Is. 42:8.) 

g. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no gcd with me: I 
kill, and I make alive: I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that 
can deliver out of my hand. (Dt. 32:39.) 

h. Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth; and the heav- 
ens are the work of thy hands. (Ps. 102:25.) 

i. After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled 
you : for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. For, be- 
hold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to 
their servants: and ve shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent 
me. (Zech. 2:8, 9.) 

j. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt 
go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Ps. 32:8.) I am the Lord thy 
God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that 
thou shouldest go. (Is. 48:17.) Good and upright is the Lord: therefore 
will he teach sinners in the way. (Ps. 25 :S.) 

k. That in blessing I will biess thee, and in multiplying I will 
multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon 
the sea shore: and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. (Gen. 
22:17.) Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand 
of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. (Hos. 1:10.)

off nor destroyed from before me.

the Chal-de'an§, with a voice of singing de- 
clare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of 
the earth; say ye, The Lord hath redeemed his 
servant Ja'cob. 

21 And they thirsted not when he led them 
through the deserts: he caused the waters to 
flow out of the rock for them: he clave the 
rock also, and the waters gushed out. 

22 There 'is no peace, saith the Lord, unto 
the wicked. 

CHAPTER 49. 
1 Christ, being sent to the Jews, complaineth 
of them. 5 He is sent to the Gentiles with 
gracious promises. 13 God's love is perpet- 
ual to his church. 

1 "Listen, isles, unto me; and hearken, 
ye people, from far; a The Lord hath called 
me from the womb; from the bowels of my 
mother hath he made mention of my name. 

2 And he hath made "my ' J mouth like a sharp 
sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid 
me, and made me a polished shaft; in his 
quiver hath he hid me; 

3 And said unto me, Thou art rny servant, 
is'ra-el, c in whom I will be glorified. 

4 Then d I said, I have laboured in vain, I 
have spent my strength for nought, and in 
vain: yet surely my judgment 3 is with the 
Lord, and my work with my God. 

5 Tf And now, saith the Lord that formed 
me from the womb to be his servant, to bring 
Ja'cob again to him, Thou Is'ra-el be not 
gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes 
of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength. 

6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou 
shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes 
of Ja'cob, and to restore the preserved of Is'- 
ra-el: I will also give thee for a light e to the 
Gentiles, that thoti mayest be my salvation 
unto the end of the earth. 

1 *Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Is'- 
ra-el, and his Holy' One, Ho him whom man 
despiseth, to him whom, the nations abhorreth, 
to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and 
arise, princes also shall ivorship, because of 
the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One 
of Is'ra-el, and he shall choose thee. 

8 Thus saith the Lord, sin an acceptable 
time have I heard thee, and in a day of salva- 
tion have I helped thee: and I will preserve 
thee, and give thee for a covenant of the peo- 
ple, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit 
the desolate heritages;

forth; to them that are in darkness, Sheiv 
yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and 
their pastures shall be in all high places. 

10 They shall not ''hunger nor thirst; nei- 
ther shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he 
that hath mercy i on them shall lead them, 
even by the springs of water shall he guide 
them. 

11 And I will make all my mountains a way, 
and my highways shall be exalted. 

12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, 
lo, these from the north and from the west; 
and these from the land of Si'nim. 

13 If Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, 
earth; and break forth into singing, moun- 
tains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, 
and will have '■mercy upon his afflicted. 

14 But Zi'on said, The Lord hath forsaken 
me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 

15 Wan a woman forget her sucking child, 
that she should not have compassion on the 
son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet 
will k I not forget thee. 

16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the 
palms of my hands; thy walls are continually 
before me. 

17 Thy children shall make haste; thy des- 
troyers and they that made thee waste shall 
go forth of thee. 

18 II Lift up thine eyes round about, and be- 
hold: all these gather themselves together, and 
come to thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou 
shalt surely clothe thee ivith them all, as with 
an ornament, and bind them .on thee, as a 
bride doeth. 

19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, 
and the land of thy destruction, shall even now 
be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, 
and, they that swallowed thee up shall be far 
aivay. 

20 The children which thou shalt have, after 
'thou hast lost the other, shall say again in 
thine ears, The place is too strait for me : give 
place to me that I may dwell. 

21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who 
hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my 
children, and am desolate, a captive, and re- 
moving to and fro? and who hath brought up 
these? Behold, I was left alone; these, -where 
had they been? 

22 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will 
lift up mine hand to the Gen'tiles, and set up 
my standard to the people: and they shall 
bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daugh- 
ters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 

23 And kings shall be thy "'nursing fathers, 
and their queens thy nursing mothers: they 
shall bow down to thee with their face toward. 



I. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. (Is. 57:21.) 
Chapter 49. 

a. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou 
earnest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a 
prophet unto the nations. (Jer. 1:5.) For he shall be great in the sight 
of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he 
shall be filled with the Holv Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 
(Luke 1:15.) 

b. Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them 
by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that 
goeth forth. (Hos. 6:5.) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, 
and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing 
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a 
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12.) 

c. Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said. Now is the Son of 
man glorified, and God is glorified in him. (Jno. 13:31.) To the praise 
of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Be- 
loved. (Eph. 1:6.) 

d. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wicked- 
ness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou 
hast delivered thy soul. (Ez. 3:19.) Wherefore I take you to record this 
day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. (Acts 20:26.) 

e. A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people 
Israel. (Luke 2:32.) For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I 
have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for 
salvation unto the ends of the earth-. (Acts 13:47.) 

f. He is despised and rejected of men; a map of sorrows, and ac- 
quainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was 
despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:3.) Then did they spit in 
his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their 
hands, Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote 
thee? (Mat. 26:67, 68.) 

g. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Lord, in an acceptable 



time: God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of 
thy salvation. (Ps. 69:13.) 

h. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither 
shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. (Rev. 7:16.) 

i. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast en- 
larged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my 
prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: 
turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 
69:16.) Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, 
thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine 
anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will 
not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) And the publican, standing afar 
off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon 
his breast saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) 

j. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day 
when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth 
his own son that serveth him. (Mai. 3:17.) 

k. As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but 
as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For 
the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. (Rom. 11:28, 29.) 

1. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to 
our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise 
up children unto Abraham. (Mat. 3:9.) I say then, Have they stum- 
bled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall 
salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 
(Rom. 11:11.) 

m. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the 
kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall 
down before him, all nations shall serve him. (Ps. 72:10, 11.) Thou 
shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of 
kings: and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy 
Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Is. 60:16.)

and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: n for 
they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. 

24 r : Shall the prey be taken from the 
mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? 

25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the cap- 
tives of the mighty shall be taken away, and 
the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for 
I will contend with him that contendeth with 
thee, and I will save thy children. 

26 And I will feed them that oppress thee 
with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk- 
en with their own "blood, as with sweet wine: 
and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am 
thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One 
of Jacob. 

CHAPTER 50. 
1 Christ sheweth that the dereliction of the 
Jews is not to be imputed to him, by his abil- 
ity to save, 7 and by his confidence in that 
assistance. 10 An exhortation to trust in 
God. 

1 'Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill 2 of 
your mother's divorcement, whom I have put 
away? or which of my a cr editors is it to whom 
I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities 
have ye sold yourselves, and for your trans- 
missions is your mother put away. 

2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no 
maaj? when I called, was there none to an- 
swer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it 
.cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? 
behold, at my rebuke I :! dry up the sea, I make 
the rivers a wilderness : their fish stinketh, be- 
cause there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 

3 I clothe the heavens with Slackness, and 
I make sackcloth their covering. 

4 5 The fc Lord God hath given me the tongue 
of the learned, that I should know how to 
speak a word in season to him that c is weary: 
he wakeneth morning by morning, he waken- 
eth mine ear to hear as the learned. 

5 1 The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and 
d l was not rebellious, neither turned away 
back. 

6 C I gave my back to the smiters, and my 
cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid 
not my face from shame and spitting. 



Ch. 50. b. c. 712. 

1. In this ch. is recorded the Mes- 
siah's message to Israel, showing the 
cause of Zion's being forsaken. The 
explanation is given under the fig. of 
marital infidelity. The warning is 
followed by promises of blessings. 

2. Zion is the mother, the Jews 
are the children, and God the hus- 
band and Father. God here asks 
them to show their bill of divorce- 
ment, but. as it has never been grant- 
ed, they have sold themselves; thus 
it was not through any fault of his, 
but their owu that they and Zion 
were put away and sold. (Gesenius.) 
Lowth gives the following transla- 
tion: "I have never giveu your 
mother a regular bill of divorcement, 
I have merely put her away for a 
time and can, therefore, by right as 
husband, still take her back on her 
submission. I have not made you 
(the children) over to any creditor to 
satisfy a debt; I therefore have the 
right of a father over you, and can 
take you back on repentance, though, 
as rebellious children, you have sold 
yourselves to siu and its penalty." 



3. Alluding to the deliverance 
from Egypt and the plague thereof. 

4. As at Sinai. Another of the 
judgments of Egypt. 

5. Vs. 4-10 are the words of the 
servant of God. 

G. In torment. •

1. In this ch. is given encourage, 
ment to the faithful remnant of Is- 
rael to trust in God for deliverance 
from both the Babylonian exile and 
their present dispersion. 

2. To those who fullv observe the 
law. 

3. Abraham. 

4. When he was alone.

ance. 



Ch. 51 B. C. 712 

7 If For the Lord God will fhelp me; there- 
fore shall I not be confounded: therefore have 
I set my face like a flint, and I know that I 
shall not be ashamed. 

8 He is near that justifieth me; who will 
contend with me? let us stand together: who 
is mine adversary? let him come near to me. 

9 Behold, the Lord God will help me; who 
is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall 
wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat 
them up. 

10 r Who is among you that feareth the 
Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, 
that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? 
#let him trust in the name of the Lord, and 
stay upon his God. 

11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that com- 
pass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the 
light of your fire, and in the sparks ''that ye 
have kindled. This shall ye have of mine 
hand; ye shall lie 'down c in sorrow. 

CHAPTER 51. 
1 An exhortation to trust in Christ, 3 by 
reason of his comfortable promises, 4 of 
his righteous salvation, 7 and man's mor- 
tality. 9 Christ by his sanctified arm de- 
fendeth his from the fear of man. 17 He 
bewaileth the afflictions of Jerusalem. 

1 'Hearken to me, ye "that follow after 
righteousness, "~ye that seek Hhe Lord: look 
unto the 3 rock whence ye are hewn, and to the 
hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 

2 Look unto A'bra-ham your father, and 
unto Sa'rah that bare you: for I called him 
4 alone, and blessed him, and increased him. 

3 For the Lord shall comfort Zi'on: he will 
comfort all her waste places; and he will make 
her wilderness like E'den, and her desert c like 
the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall 
be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice 
of melody. 

4 If Hearken unto me, my 5 people; and give 
ear unto me, my nation : for a law "shall 
proceed from me, and I will make d my judg- 
ment to rest for a light of the people. 

5 My ^righteousness is s near; my salvation 
is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the 



n. The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them 
that trust in him shall be desolate. (Ps. 34:22.) For the scripture 
saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (Rom. 10:11.) 

0. And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood came 
out of the wine-press, even unto the horse-bridles, by the space of a 
thousand and six hundred furlongs. (Rev. 14:20.) For they have shed 
the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to 
,drink: for they are worthy. (Rev. 16:6.) 

Chapter 50. 

a. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him 
ao be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and pay- 
ment to be made. (Mat. 18:25.) Now there cried a certain woman of the 
■wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my 
husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: 
and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. 
(II Ks. 4:1.) 

b. And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or 
who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I 
the Lord? (Ex. 4:11.) 

c. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will 
give you rest. (Mat. 11:28.) 

d. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the 
Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. 
(Jno. 14:31.) Ard being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, 
and became obe lient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Phil. 2:8.) 

e. Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others 
smote him with the palms of their hands. (Mat. 26:67.) And when he 
had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with 
the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the hight priest so? (Jno. 
18:22.) He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full 
with reproach. (Lam. 3:30.) 

f. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who 
can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

g. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the 
wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and 
said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; believe in the 
Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall 
ye prosper. (II Chr. 20:20.) Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in 
mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not 
slide. (Ps. 26:1.) In God I will praise his word: in God I have put my 
trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Ps. 56:4.) I will say 
of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will 1 
trust. (Ps. 91:2.) And again, I will put my trust in him. And again. 
Behold I and the children which God hath given me. (Heb. 2:13.) 



Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord 
is. (Jer. 17:7.) 

h. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about 
to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves 
unto the righteousness of God. (Rom. 10:3.) 

i. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, 
of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) Their sorrows 
shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings 
of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. (Ps. 
16:4.) Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be re- 
paid. (Prov. 13:21.) Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that 
trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. (Ps. 32:10.) For, 
lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all 
them that go a whoring from thee. (Ps. 73:27.) 

Chapter 51. 

a. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified 
in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (Rom. 3:20.) 

b. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy 
name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken 
them that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and said 
unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The Lord 
is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be 
found of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 
I sought *he Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my 
fears. (Ps. 34:4.) 

c. A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth: 
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a 
desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing shall escape them. (Joel 2:3.) 

d. Before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth: with right- 
eousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. (Ps. 
98:9.) Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judg- 
ment. (Jno. 7:24.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways 
are judgment: a God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is 
he. (Dt. 32:4.) Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to 
my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight. With 
the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright 
man thou wilt show thyself upright. With the pure thou wilt show thy- 
self pure: and with the froward thou wilt show thvself unsavory. (II 
Sam. 22:25-27.) 

e. I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my 
salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel 
my glory. (Is. 46:13.) No weapon that' is formed against thee shall 
prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou 
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and 
their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Is. 54:17.)

people; the isles shall wait upon me, and ^on 
mine arm shall they trust. 

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and 
look upon the earth beneath: for the ^heavens 
shall Vanish away like smoke, and the earth 
shall wax old like a garment, and they that 
dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my 
salvation shall be for ever, and my righteous- 
ness shall not be abolished. 

7 If Hearken unto me, ye that know right- 
eousness, the people in whose heart is my law; 
''fear ye not the 'reproach of men, neither be 
ye afraid of their revilings. 

8 For the moth shall eat them up like a 
garment, and the worm shall eat them like 
wool : but my righteousness shall be for ever, 
and my salvation from generation to genera- 
tion. * 

9 IT Awake, awake, put on strength, arm 
of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, 
in the generations of old. Art thou not it that 
hath cut Ra'hab, and wounded the '"dragon? 

10 Art thou not it which ■'hath dried the 
sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath 
made the depths of the sea a way for the ran- 
somed to pass over? 

11 Therefore the ^'redeemed of the Lord 
shall return, and come with singing unto 
Zi'on; and everlasting joy shall be upon their 
head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and 
sorrow and mourning shall flee away. 

12 I, even I, am he 'that comforteth you : 
who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid 
of a man that shall die, and of the son of man 
which shall be made as grass; 

13 And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that 
hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the 
foundations of the earth; and hast feared con- 
tinually every day because of the fury of the 
oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? 
'"and where is the fury of the oppressor? 

14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may 
be loosed, and that he should not die in the 
"pit, nor that his bread should fail. 

15 But I am the^ Lord thy God, that di- 
vided "the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord 
of hosts is his name. 

16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, 
and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine 
hand, that I may plant the "heavens, and lay 
the foundations of the earth, and say unto 
Zi'on, Thou art my people. 

17 If Awake, awake, stand up, O "Je-ru'sa- 
lem, which hast drunk at the hand of the 
Lord the cup of his fury; thou "hast drunken 
the dregs of the cup of "trembling, and wrung 
them out.

9. The advent of the herald of 
such good news is beautiful to behold. 



18 There is none to guide her among all the 
sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is 
there any that taketh her by the hand of all 
the sons that she hath brought up. 

19 These two "things are come unto thee;; 
who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and 
destruction, and the famine, and the sword: 
"by whom shall I comfort thee? 

20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the 
head of all the streets, as a wild bull 17 in a 
net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the 
rebuke of thy God. 

21 If Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, 
and drunken, but not with wine: 

22 Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy 
God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Be- 
hold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup 
of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my 
fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: 

23 But I will put it into the hand of them 
that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, 
Bow down, that we may go over: and thou 
hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the 
street, to them that went over. 

CHAPTER 52. 
1 Christ persuadeth the church to believe his 
free redemption, 7 to receive the ministers 
thereof, 11 and to free themselves from 
bondage. 13 Christ's kingdom shall be 
exalted. 

1 Awake, awake; put on thy Strength, 
Zi'on; put on thy beautiful 3 garments, O Je- 
ru'sa-lem, the holy city: for henceforth there 
shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised 
a and the unclean. 

2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit 
down, Je-ru'sa-lem : loose thyself from the 
bands of thy neck, captive daughter of Zi'on. 

3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold 
yourselves for nought; and ye shall be re- 
deemed without money. 

4 For thus saith the Lord_ God, 4 My people 
went down aforetime into E'gypt to sojourn 
there; and the 5 As-syr'i-an oppressed them 
without cause. 

5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith 
the Lord, that my people is taken away for 
nought? they that rule over them make them 
to howl, saith the Lord; and my name con- 
tinually every day is "blasphemed. 

6 Therefore my people shall know my 
'name: therefore they shall know in that May 
that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

f. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power 
of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and 
also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16.) But exhort one another daily, while it 
is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness 
of sin. (Heb. 3:13.) Let them be confounded and consumed that are 
adversaries to my soul ; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor 
that seek my hurt. (Ps. 71:13.) 

g. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass 
away. (Mat. 24:35.) Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth; 
and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but 
thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment, as a 
vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed. (Ps. 102:25, 
26.) And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall 
be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the 
leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. (Is. 
34:4.) 

h. And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill 
the body, and after that have no more that the}' can do. (Luke 12:4.) 

i. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and 
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Mat. 
5:11.) And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that 
they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. (Acts 5:41.) 
Fear not: for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; 
for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of 
thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any 
more. (Is. 54:4.) 

3. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and 
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. (Ex. 14:21.) At 
the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go 
and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from 
thy foot. And he did. so, walking naked and barefoot. (Is. 20:2.) Then 



he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is 
he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? 
where is he that put his Holy Spirit within him? That led them by the 
right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before 
them, to make himself an everlasting name? (Is. 63:11, 12.) 

k. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion, 
with songs and evei lasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy 
and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Is. 35:10.) Thus 
saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, 
and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded 
upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner 
thereof. (Jer. 30:18.) The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness; the 
voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; the voice of them 
that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his 
mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of 
praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the cap- 
tivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord. (Jer. 33:11.) 

1. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the. 
Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. (II Cor. 1:3.) Who is a 
God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the trans- 
gression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for 
ever, because he delighteth in mercy. (Mic. 7:18) 

m. Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have 
seen him shall say, Where is he? (Job 20:7.) 

n. The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and 
astonishment of heart. (Dt. 28:28.) 

o. Thus hath the Lord God shown unto me; and, behold, the Lord 
God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat 
up a part. (Amos 7:4.) 

Chapter 52. 

a. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that deflleth, 
neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie; but they 
which are written in the Lamb's book of life, (Rev, 21:27.)

saith unto Zi'on, Thy God reigneth! 

8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with 
the voice together shall they sing: for they 
shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring 
again Zi'on. 

9 If "Break forth into joy, sing together, ye 
waste places of Je-ru'sa-lem : for the Lord 
hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm 
in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends 
of the earth shall see the salvation of u our 
God. 

11 r ^Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from 
thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of 
the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the 
vessels of the Lord. 

12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor 
go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; 
and the God of Is'ra-el will be your rereward. 

13 *j Behold, c my servant shall deal prudent- 
ly, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be 
very high. 

14 As many were astonied at thee; his vis- 
age was so marred more than any man, and 
his form more than the sons of men: 

15 So d shall he sprinkle many nations; the 
kings shall shut their mouths at him: for thar 
which had not been told them shall they see; 
and that which they had not heard shall they 
consider. 

CHAPTER 53. 
1 The prophet, complaining of incredulity, ex- 
cuseth the scandal of the cross, 4 by the 
benefit of his passion, 10 and the good suc- 
cess thereof. 

1 1 Who "hath believed our report? and to 
whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 

2 For he shall grow up before him as a 
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry 
ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and 
when we shall see him, there is no beauty that 
we should desire him. 

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a 
man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: 
and we hid as it were our faces from him; he 
ivas despised, and we esteemed -him not. 

4 *~ Surely *>he hath bo^ne our griefs, and 
carried our sorrow's: yet we did esteem him 
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 

5 But he ivas wounded for our transgres- 
sions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the 
"chastisement of our peace was upon him; and 
with his stripes we are healed. 

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we 
have turned every one to his own way; and 
the 5 Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of 
us all. 



10. The picture changes because 
Zion has been restored and the exiles 
returned home, and the people break 
forth in joyful song.

toration of Egypt: absolutely fulfilled 
in the Gospel of Christ. 



Ch. 53. B. C. 712. 



1. Ch. 53 is concerning the coming 
aud suffering of the Messiah. His 
coming has been announced until the 
people are looking for him. but they 
are looking for a king to reign amidst 
earthly splendor, hence are slow to 
accept him in his lowly station. He 
suffers a self-imposed humiliation, 
not on account of any fault of his, 
for he was without fault; but, 
through his willing, the f;:u'.ts of the 
human race meet on him. 



Undervalued him. 



3. Not punishment, strictly speak- 
ing, for punishment can come only 
where there is guilt, and he was with- 
out guilt, but he took on himself the 
chastisement whereby peace was to 
be effected between the children and 
the Father. 



Much fruit. 



Ch. 54. B. C. 712. 



1. In ch. 54 is continued an account 
of the Messiah's sufferings, also Is- 
rael's penitence at her unbelief, she 
confesses her mistake of rejecting the 
Messiah and is joyfully restored by 
Jehovah. Israel converted is com- 
pared to a wife who has been put 
away for her unfaithfulness but now 
forgiven and taken home again. The 
pre-eminence of the Hebrew church, 
as the mother church of the world, is 
presented, while the converted Gen- 
tile is accepted as a new progeny of 
the restored wife. 



The Jewish church. 



7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, 
yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as 
c a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his 
mouth. 

8 He was taken from prison and from judg- 
ment: and who shall declare his generation? 
for d he was cut off out of the land of the liv- 
ing : for the transgression of my people was he 
stricken. 

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, 
and with the rich in his death; because he had 
done no violence, neither was any deceit in 
e his mouth. 

10 1 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; 
he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt 
make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see 
his seed, he shall prolong his days, and Hhe 
pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 

11 He shall see 'of the travail of his soul, 
and shall be satisfied: 9by his knowledge shall 
my righteous servant justify many; for he 
shall bear their iniquities. 

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion 
with the great, and he shall divide the spoil 
with the strong; because he hath poured out 
his soul unto death: and he vjas h numbered 
with the transgressors; and he bare the sin 
of many, and 'made intercession for the trans- 
gressors. 

CHAPTER 54. 
1 The prophet, for the comfort of the Gentiles, 
prophesieth the amplitude of their church, 
6 their certain deliverance out of affliction, 
15 and their sure preservation. 

1 ^ing, = barren, thou that didst not bear; 
break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou 
that didst not travail with child: for more 
are the children of the desolate than the chil- 
dren of the married wife, saith the 3 Lord. 

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let 
them stretch forth the curtains of thine habita- 
tions: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and 
strengthen thy stakes; 

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right 
hand and on the left; and thy seed shall in- 
herit the Gen'tiles, and make the desolate 
cities to be inhabited. 

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: 
neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not 
be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the 
shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember 
the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 

5 For thy Maker is a thine husband; the 
Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer 
the Holy One of Is'ra-el; 6 The God of the 
whole earth shall he be called. 

6 For the Lord hath called thee as a woman 
forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of 



b. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith 
the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. (II 
Cor. 6:17.) 

c. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my 
soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth 
judgment to the Gentiles. (Is. 42:1.) 

d. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be 
clean: from all your fllthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse 
you. (Ez. 36:25.) 

Chapter 53. 

a. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they 
believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be ful- 
filled, which he spake. Lord, who hath believed our report? and to 
whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? (Jno. 12:37, 38.) 

b. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the 
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 
(Mat. 8:17.) 

c. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led 
as a sheep to the slaughter: and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so 
opened he not his mouth. (Acts 8:32.) 

d. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but 
not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall de- 
stroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a 
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:26.) 

e. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. (I Pet. 
2:22. ) And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and 
in hin\ Is no sin. (T J ' > 



f. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus 
Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. (Eph. 1:5.) 
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you 
worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, 
and the work of faith with power. (II Thess. 1:11.) 

g. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true 
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thcu hast sent. (Jno. 17:3.) According 
as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life 
and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to 
glory and virtue. (II Pet. 1:3.) My little children, these things write I 
unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate 
with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (I Jno. 2:1.) 

h. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was num- 
bered with the transgressors. (Mk. 15:2S.) 

i. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what 
they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 23:34.) 
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto 
God by him, seeing he ever livetb. to make intercession for them. (Heb. 
7:25.) My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin 
not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus 
Christ the righteous. (I Jno. 2:1.) 

Chapter 54. 

a. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married 
unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I 
will bring you to Zion. (Jer. 3:14.) And I will betroth thee unto me 
for ever: yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in 
judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies. (Hos. 2:19.) 

b. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? 
Yes. of the Gentiles also. (Rom. 3:29.)

youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 

7 For a 'small moment have I forsaken 
thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee 
for a moment; but with everlasting kindness 
will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy 
Redeemer. 

9 For this is as the waters of 4 N6'ah unto 
me: for as I have sworn that the waters of 
4 N5'ah should no more go over the earth; so 
have I 4 sworn that I would not be wroth with 
thee, nor rebuke thee. 

10 For d the mountains shall depart, and the 
hills be removed; but my kindness c shall not 
depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of 
my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath 
mercy on thee. 

11 IT O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, 
and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones 
with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with 
sapphires. 

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, 
and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy bor- 
ders of pleasant stones. 

13 And all thy children shall be taught fof 
the Lord; and great shall be the peace oof thy 
children. 

14 In righteoiisness shalt thou be estab- 
lished: thou shalt be far from oppression; for 
thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it 
shall not come near thee. 

15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, 
but not by me: whosoever shall gather to- 
gether against thee shall fall for thy sake. 

16 Behold, I have created the smith that 
bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth 
forth an instrument for his work; and I have 
created the waster to destroy. 

17 % No ''weapon that is formed against thee 
shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise 
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. 
This is the heritage of the servants of the 
Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith 
the Lord. 

CHAPTER 55. 
1 The prophet, with the promises of Christ, 
calleth to faith, 6 and to repentance. 8 The 
happy success of them that believe. 

1 'Ho, "every one that 2 thirsteth, come ye to 
the waters, and he that hath no money; 'come 
ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk 
without 3 money and without price. 

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that 
which is not bread? and your labour for that 



4. As I kept my promise with 
N'o:ih. that there should be no return 
of the flood, so do I swear to my peo- 
ple now that there shall be no return 
of the deluge of my wrath upon them. 



Ch. 55. B. C. 712. 



1. In eh. 55 the Messiah's call to 
the Gentile world is recorded. Israel 
has been made to understand that her 
sins have been so great that a sacri- 
fice of much greater value than the 
blood of animals is necessary for her 
salvation, therefore she must have 
faith in Christ, the coming Messiah. 



Who has a keen sense of need. 



3. We are to buy, not with money, 
but by parting with everything which 
comes between us and Christ, who 
has paid the sacrificial price for us 
all. 



Monitor, Instructor. 



The Gentile world. 



6. Because man does not see his 
own thoughts regarding himself as 
God sees them, therefore he does not 
see himself the sinner that God does; 
consequently repentance is the first 
and immdiate duty. 



Ch. 56. B. C. 712. 



1. In ch. 56 is detailed and made 
plain the preparation needed by all 
who would be admitted to the king- 
dom of the Messiah. This ch. looks 
forward into the age of John the Bap- 
tist. 



2. Equity, justice. John the Bap- 
tist preached a similar return to 
righteousness as necessary to prepare 
men for the coming of the Messiah 
(Luke 3:3 and 8:14). and so it shall 
he at the second coming (Mai. 4:4-6). 



which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto 
me, and eat ye that which is good, and let 
your soul delight itself in fatness. 

3 Incline your ear, and c come unto me : hear, 
and your soul shall live; and I will d make an 
everlasting covenant with you, even the sure 
mercies of Da'vid. 

4 Behold, I have given him for 4 a witness to 
the people, a leader and commander to the 
people. 

5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou 
knowest 'not, and nations that knew not thee 
shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy 
God, and for the Holy One of Is'ra-el; for he 
hath glorified thee. 

6 If Seek e ye the Lord while he may be found, 
call ye upon him while he is near: 

7 Let the wicked forsake 6 his way, and the 
unrighteous man ''his thoughts: and let him 
return unto the Lord, »and he will have mercy 
''upon him; and to our God, for he will abun- 
dantly pardon. 

8 If For my thoughts are not *your thoughts, 
neither are your ways my ways, saith the 
Lord. 

9 For as the heavens are higher than the 
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, 
and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the 
snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, 
but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring 
forth and bud, that it may give seed to the 
sower, and bread to the eater: 

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth 
out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me 
void, but it shall accomplish that which I 
please, and it shall prosper in the thing where- 
to I sent it. 

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led 
forth with peace: the mountains and the hills 
shall break forth before you into singing, and 
all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 

13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir 
tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the 
myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a 
name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be 
cut off. 

CHAPTER 56. 

1 The prophet exhorteth to sanctification. 3 

He promiseth it shall be general. 9 He in- 

veigheth against blind watchmen. 

1 1 Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, 

and do justice: a for my salvation is near to 

come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 



c. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for 
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (II Cor. 4:17.) 

d. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though 
the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. (Ps. 46:1, 2.) 

e. Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from 
him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. (Ps. 89:33.) 

f. It is written in the Prophets, And they shall be all taught of 
God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the 
Father, cometh unto me. (Jno. 6:45.) 

g. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the 
world giveth. give I unto you. Let not vour heart be troubled, neither 
let it be afraid. (Jno. 14:27.) 

h. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in 
Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in ev- 
ery place. (II Cor. 2:14.). 

Chapter 55. 

a. But w'hosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall 
never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well 
of water springing up into everlasting life. (Jno. 4:14.) And the Spirit 
and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say. Come. And 
let him that is athirst come. And w'hosoever will, let him take the 
water of life freely. (Rev. 22:17.) 

b. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; 
the which when a man hath found, he hideth. and for jov thereof goeth 
and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. (Mat. 13:44.) 

c. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will 
give you rest. (Mat. 11:28.) 

d. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will 
not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in 
their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. (Jer. 32:40.) And as 
concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return 
to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of 
David. (Acts 13:34.) 

e. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whilst thou art In the way 
with him: lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and 
the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Mat. 



5:25.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) For thou, Lord, hast not 
forsaken them that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) I sought the Lord, and he 
heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Ps. 34:4.) 

f. And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neigh- 
bor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith 
the Lord. (Zech. 8:17.) The instruments also of the churl are evil: 
he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even 
when the needy speaketh right. (Is. 32:7.) Their feet run to evil, and 
they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of 
iniquity: wasting and destruction are in their paths. (Is. 59:7.) 

g. Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return 
thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger 
to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep 
anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) 

h. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast en- 
larged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my 
prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Hear me, Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: 
turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 
69:16.) And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented ac- 
cording to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) Be merciful unto 
me, O God, he merciful unto me; for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in 
the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities 
be overpast. (Ps. 57:1.) And the publican, standing afar off, would not 
lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,- 
saying, God be merciful to- me a sinner. (Luke 18:13.) And the Lord 
passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merci- 
ful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. 
(Ex. 34:6.) 

Chapter 56. 

a. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
(Mat. 3:2.) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: 
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Mat. 4:i7.) There is none that 
understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone 
out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none 
that doeth good, no, not one. (Rem. 3:11, 12.)

2 Blessed is the man tliat doeth this, and the 
son of man that layeth hold on it; 6 that keep- 
eth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth 
his hand fi - om doing any evil. 

3 If Neither let the c son of the 3 stranger, 
that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, 
saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me 
from his people: neither let the 4 eunuch say, 
Behold, I am a dry tree. 

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the 4 eunuchs 
that ^keep my sabbaths, and choose the things 
that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 

5 Even unto them will I give in e mine house 
and within my walls a place ^and a name bet- 
ter than of sons and of daughters: I will give 
them an everlasting name, that shall not be 
cut off. 

6 Also the sons of the 3 stranger, that join 
themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to 
love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, 
every one that keepeth the d sabbath from pol- 
luting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 

7 Even them will I bring to my holy moun- 
tain, and make them joyful in my house of 
prayer: s their burnt offerings and their sacri- 
fices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for 
''mine house shall be called an house of prayer 
for all people. 

8 The Lord God which gathereth the out- 
casts of Is'ra-el saith, ! 'Yet will I gather others 
to him, beside those that are gathered unto 
him. 

9 r All ye beasts of the field, come to de- 
vour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. 

10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ig- 
norant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot 
bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 

11 Yea, they are = greedy dogs which can 
never have enough, and they are shepherds 
that cannot understand: they all look to their 
own way, every one for his gain, from his 
quarter. 

12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and 
we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and 
to morrow shall be as this day, and much more 
abundant. 

CHAPTER 57. 
1 The blessed death of the righteous. 3 God 
reproveth the Jews for their idolatry. 13 He 
giveth evangelical promises to the penitent. 
1 ! The righteous perisheth, and no man lay- 
eth it to heart: and merciful men are taken 



Gentiles. 



4. Court ministers. 



Strong of appetite. 



Ch. 57. B. C. 698. 



1. In eh. 57 is proclaimed the ret- 
ribution and death of the many be- 
cause of ungodliness, although a rem- 
nant of the faithful ones shall sur- 
vive the general judgment and be re- 
stored by God. 



2. Adultery is a word uniformly 
used throughout the Old Testament 
for idolatry because the relation ex- 
isting between Jehovah and Israel, 
through the covenant, was a marriage 
covenant. 



3. Meal or food offering. 



4. Living. 



5. Israel did not want to deny God 
altogether, therefore they lied to him. 
He asked them ••Why doest thou so? 
Whom dost thou fear? Certainly it 
cannot be me. seeing that thou hast 
not remembered me."

away, none considering that the righteous is 
taken away from the evil to come. 

2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest 
in their beds, each one walking in his, upright- 
ness. 

3 IT But draw near hither, °ye sons of the 
sorceress, the seed of the 2 adulterer and the 
whore. 

4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? 
against whom make ye a wide mouth, and 
draw out the tongue? are ye not children of 
transgression, a seed of falsehood, 

5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under 
eveiy green tree, slaying the children in the 
valleys under the clifts of the rocks? 

6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is 
thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to 
them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou 
hast offered a meat Offering. Should I receive 
comfort in these? 

7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou 
set thy bed : even thither wentest thou up to 
offer sacrifice. 

8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast 
thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast 
discovered thyself to another than me, and art 
gone up ; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made 
thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their 
bed where thou sawest it. 

9 And thou wentest to the king with oint- 
ment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and 
didst send thy messengers far off, and didst 
debase thyself even unto hell. 

10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy 
way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: 
thou hast found the 4 life of thine hand; there- 
fore thou wast not grieved. 

11 And of whom 5 hast thou been afraid or 
feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not re- 
membered me, nor laid it to thy heart? 6 have 
not I held my peace even of old, and thou 
fearest c me not? 

12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy 
works; for they shall not profit thee. 

13 II When thou criest, let thy companies de- 
liver thee; but the wind shall carry them all 
away; vanity shall take them: but he that 
putteth <mis trust in me shall possess the land, 
and shall inherit my holy mountain; 

14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, 
prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock 
out of the way of my people. 



b. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy 
pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the 
Lord, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor 
finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt 
thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the 
high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy 
father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.' (Is. 58:13, 14.) 

c. There was a certain man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a centurion 
of the band called the Italian band, A devout man, and one that feared 
God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed 
to God alway. (Acts 10:1, 2.) And some of them believed, and con- 
sorted with Paul and Silas: and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, 
and of the chief women not a few. (Acts 17:4.) 

d. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou 
labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the 
Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor 
thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, 
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord 
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested 
the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day. and hal- 
lowed it. (Ex." 20:8-11.) Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my 
sanctuary: I am the Lord. (Lev. 26:2.) 

e. These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee short- 
ly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to 
behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living 
God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (I Tim. 3:14, 15.) 

f. Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, 
that we should be called the sons of God! therefore the world knoweth us 
not, because it knew him not. (I Jno. 3:1.) 

g. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye 
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which 
is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) Ye also, as lively stones, are 
built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacri- 
fices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 2:5.) 

h. Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: 
but ye have made it a den of thieves. (Luke 19:46.) For from the rising 
of the sun, even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be 
great among the Gentiles: and in every place incense shall be offered 
unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among 
the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 1:11.) ' 



i. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I 
must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, 
and one shepherd. (Jno. 10:16.) That in the dispensation of the fulness 
of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which 
are in heaven, and which are on earth, even in him. (Eph. 1:10.) For 
he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the 
middle wall of partition between us: Having abolished in his flesh the 
enmity, even the law cf commandments contained in ordinances; for to 
make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he 
might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain 
the enmity thereby. (Eph. 2:14-16.) 

Chapter 5.. 

a. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift 
witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against 
false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, 
the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from 
his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:5.) 

b. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest 
that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, 
and set them in order before thine eyes. (Ps. 50:21.) 

c. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 
(Ex. 20:20.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God. 
and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 
12:13.) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and 
the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. (Prov. 8:13.) By mercy 
and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the Lord men depart 
from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

d. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again. Behold I and 
the children which God hath given me. (Heb. 2:13.) Let your con- 
versation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as 
ye have: for he hath said. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So 
that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what 
man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:5, 6.) In God I will praise his word, 
in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 
(Ps. 56:4.) In thee, Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to 
confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: 
incline thine ear unto me. and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, 
whereunto I may continually rescrt: thou hast gH-en commandment to 
save me; for thou art my rock and my forTess. (Ps. 71:1. 3.)

15 For °thus saith the high and lofty One 
that inhabiteth eternity, whose 'name is Holy; 
I dwell in the high and holy place, fwith him 
also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to 
revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive 
the heart of the contrite ones. 

16 -''For I will not contend for ever, neither 
will I be always wroth: for the spirit should 
fail before me, and the souls which I have 
made. 

17 For the iniquity of his ''covetousness was 
I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was 
wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of 
his heart. 

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him : 
I will lead him also, and restore comforts 
unto him and to his mourners. 

19 I create 'the fruit of the lips; Peace, 
peace to him that is far off, and Ho him that 
is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him. 

20 But the 7 wicked are like the troubled s sea, 
when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire 
and dirt. 

21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the 
'wicked. 

CHAPTER 58. 
1 The prophet, being sent to reprove hypocrisy , 
3 expresseth a counterfeit fast and a true. 
8 He declareth what promises are due unto 
godliness, 13 and to the keeping of the sab- 
bath. 

1 'Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like 
a trumpet, and shew my people their trans- 
gression, and the house of Ja'cob their sins. 

2 Yet °they seek me daily, and delight to 
know my ways, as a nation that did Righteous- 
ness, and forsook f not the ordinance of their 
God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; 
they take delight d in approaching to God. 

3 f Wherefore f have we fasted, say they, 
and thou seest not? wherefore have we af- 
flicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? 
Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleas- 
ure, and exact all your labours. 

4 Behold, ye fast 'for strife and debate, and 
to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall 
not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice 
to be heard on high. 

5 Is it fsuch a fast that I have chosen? a 
day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow 
down his head as a bulrush, and to spread

this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord? 

6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to 
loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the 
heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go 
free, and that ye break every yoke? 

7 Is it not "to 2 deal thy bread to the hungry, 
and that thou bring the poor that are cast out 
to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that 
thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself 
from thine own flesh? 

8 If Then shall thy 3 light break forth as the 
morning, and thine health shall spring forth 
speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before 
thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rere- 
ward. 

9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall 
"answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here 
I am. If thou take away from the midst of 
thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, 
and speaking vanity; 

10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the 
hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then 
shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy dark- 
ness be as the noon day: 

11 And the Lord shall guide thee continual- 
ly, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make 
fat thy bones : and thou shalt be like a watered 
garden, and like a spring of water, whose 
waters fail not. 

12 And they that shall be of thee shall build 
the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the 
foundations of many generations; and thou 
shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, 
The restorer of paths to dwell in. 

13 II If ''thou turn away thy foot from the 
sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy 
day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of 
the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, 
not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine 
own pleasure, nor speaking 'thine own words: 

14 ^Then shalt thou delight thyself in the 
Lord; and I will cause thee to ride fc upon the 
high places of the earth, and feed thee with 
the heritage of Ja'cob thy father: for the 
mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

the Jews. 9 Calamity is for sin. 20 The 
covenant of the Redeemer. 
1 behold, the Lord's hand is not "shortened, 



e. Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in 
sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the 
Holy One. (Job 6:10.) For he that is mighty hath done to me great 
things; and holy is his name. (Luke 1:49.) 

f. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and 
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Ps. 34:18.) Though the Lord 
be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth 
afar off. (Ps. 138:6.) 

g. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and 
passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth 
not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. (Mic. 7:18.) 

h. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit be- 
fore thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do 
them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth 
after their covetousness. (Ez. 33:31.) 

i. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God con- 
tinually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name. (Heb. 
13:15.) 

j. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that 
arejafar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39.) 
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them 
that were nigh. (Eph. 2:17.) 

Chapter 58. 

a. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy 
name will put their trust in thee: for thou. Lord, hast not forsaken them 
that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and said 
unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is 
with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found 
of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I 
sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 
(Ps. 34:4.) 

b. Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of 
Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear 
by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but 
not in truth, nor in righteousness. (Is. 48:1.) Will ye steal, murder, 
and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, 
and walk after other gods whom ye know not? And come and stand 
before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are 
delivered to do all these abominations? (Jer. 7:9, 10.) 



c. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil- 
doers, children that are corrupters! They have forsaken the Lord, they 
have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away 
backward (4). And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sin- 
ners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be con- 
sumed. (Is. 1:4, 28.) In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and 
departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, con- 
ceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. (Is. 59:13.) 

d. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near 
me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have re- 
moved their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by 
the precept of men. (Is. 29:13.) They draw nigh that follow after mis- 
chief: they are far from thy law. (Ps. 119:150.) Draw nigh to God, and 
he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify 
your hearts, ye double-minded. (Js. 4:8.) 

e. Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that 
we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before 
the Lord of hosts? (Mai. 3:14.) 

f. Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, 
When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those 
seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? (Zech. 7:5.) 

g. And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his 
pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the 
hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment. (Ez. 18:7.) Then 
all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. (Mat. 25:7.) 

h. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 20:8.) Ye shall 
keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. (Lev. 
19:30.) Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that 
layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keep- 
eth his hand from doing any evil. (Is. 56:2.) 

i. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, 
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. (Mat. 12:36.) 

j. For then shalt thou have thv delight in the Almighty, and shalt 
lift up thy face unto God. (Job 22:26.) 

k. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might 
eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the 
rock, and oil out of the flinty rock. (Dt. 32:13.)

that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that 
it cannot hear: 

2 But your ^iniquities have separated be- 
tween you and your God, and your sins have 
hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 

3 For c your hands are denied with blood, 
and your fingers with iniquity; your lips d have 
spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered per- 
verseness. 

4 None calleth for justice, nor f any pleadeth 
for truth : they trust in vanity, and speak lies ; 
r'they conceive mischief, and bring forth in- 
iquity. 

5 They hatch 2 cockatrice' eggs, and weave 
the spider's web : he that eateth of their eggs 
dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out 
into a viper. 

6 Their webs shall not become garments, 
neither shall they cover themselves with their 
works: their works are works of iniquity, and 
the act of violence is in their hands. 

7 ^Their feet run to evil, and they make 
haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts 
are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruc- 
tion are in their paths. 

8 The way of peace they know not; and 
there is no judgment in their goings : ''they 
have made them crooked paths: whosoever go- 
eth therein shall not know peace. 

9 *~ 4 Theref ore is ^judgment far from us, 
neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for 
light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but 
we walk in darkness. 

10 'We grope for the wall like the blind, 
and we grope as if we had no eyes : we stumble 
at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate 
places as dead men. 

11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore 
like doves : we look for judgment, but there is 
none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. 

12 For our transgressions are multiplied be- 
fore thee, and our sins testify against us: for 
our transgressions are with us; and as for our 
iniquities, we know them; 

13 In transgressing and lying against the 
Lord, and departing away from our God, 
speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and 
uttering from the heart words of falsehood. •

16 "i And Vie saw that there was no man, 
and wondered that there was no intercessor: 
therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; 
and his righteousness, it sustained him. 

17 For he put on righteousness as a breast-

head; and he put on the garments of vengeance

all they gather themselves together, they come

daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

not. (Num. 11:23.) Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when 
I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that 
it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke 
I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, be- 
cause there is no water, and dieth for thirst. (Is. 50:2.) 

b. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes 
from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your 
hands are full of blood. (Is. 1:15.) Thus saith the Lord, Where is the 
bill of your mother's divorcement whom I have put away? or which of 
my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities 
have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put 
away. (Is. 50:1.) 

c. Their feet are swift to shed blood. (Rom. 3:15.) In vain have I 
smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword 
hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion (30). Also in thy 
skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not 
found it by secret search, but upon all these. (Jer. 2:30, 34.) Make a 
chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of 
violence. (Ez. 7:23.) By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, 
and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toueheth blood. 
(Hos. 4:2.1 

d. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and 
with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass 
through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, 
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. (Is. 28:15.) That this is a 
rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of 
the Lord. (Is. 30:9.) See v. 13. 

e. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar 
off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth 
faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the 
Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. (Is. 
59:14, 15.) 

f. They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly 
prepareth deceit. (Job 15:35.) Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and 
hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. (Ps. 7:14.) 

g. For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. (Prov. 
1:16.) A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent 
blood. (Prov. 6:17.) 

h. As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord 



shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: hut peace shall be 
upon Israel. (Ps. 125:5.) Whose ways are crooked, and they frowurd 
in their paths. (Prov. 2:15.) 

i. And thou shalt grope at noon-day, as the blind gropeth in dark- 
ness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only 
oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. (Dt. 2S:29.) 
They meet with darkness in the day-time, and grope in the noon-day 
as in the night. (Job 5:14.) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith 
the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will 
darken the earth in a clear day. (Amos 8:9.) 

j. And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the 
hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not 
destroy it; but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine in- 
dignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: 
their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God. 
(Ez. 22:30, 31.) 

k. Prom the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same 
the Lord's name is to be praised. (Ps. 113:3.) For from the rising of 
the sun, even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be great 
among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto 
my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among tb« 
heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 1:11.) 

1. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written. There shall come 
out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. 
(Rom. 11:26.) 

m. This is the covenant that 1 will make with them after those 
davs, saith the Lord, I will put mv laws into their hearts, and in their 
minds will I write them. (Heb. 10:16.) ' 

n. And I will put my Spirit within you, and to cause you to walk 
in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. (Ez.

the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. (Eph. 5:14.) But unto you 
that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in 
his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 
(Mai. 4:2.) 

b. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light 
of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into 
it. (Rev. 21:24.)

6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee,

14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee 
shall come bending unto thee; and all they 
that despised thee shall ''bow themselves down

thee, The city of the Lord, The Zi'on of the 
Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and 
hated, so that no man went through thee, I

shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord 
shall be thine everlasting light, and the days 
of thy mourning shall be ended. 

21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: 
they '''shall inherit the land for ever, the branch 
of my planting, the work of my hands, that I 
may be glorified. 

22 'A little one shall become a thousand, 
and a small one a strong nation : I the Lord 
will hasten it in his time. 

CHAPTER 61. 

1 The office of Christ. 4 The forwardness, 7 

and blessings of the faithful. 

1 x The "Spirit of the Lord God is upon 2 me; 
because the 'Lord hath anointed me to preach 
good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me 
Ho bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim 
c liberty to the captives, and the opening of the 
prison to them that are bound; 

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the 
Lord, and the day of *vengeance of our God; 
Ho comfort all that mourn; 

3 To appoint unto them, that mourn in Zi'on, 
to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of 
joy for mourning, the garment of praise for 
the spirit of heaviness; that they might be 
called trees of righteousness, the planting of 
the Lord, c that he might be glorified. 

4 % And they shall f build the old wastes, 
they shall raise up the former desolations, and 
they shall repair the waste cities, the desola- 
tions of many generations. 

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your 
flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your 
plowmen and your vinedressers. 

6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the 
Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our 
God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gen'tile§, 
and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. 

7 If For your shame ye shall have double ; 
and for confusion they shall rejoice in their 
portion : therefore in their land they shall 
possess the double: everlasting joy shall be 
unto them. 

8 For I the Lord love judgment, I hate rob- 



c. And I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall 
come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts (7). 
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, 
saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the 
Lord of hosts. (Hag. 2:7, 9.) 

d. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; 
and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, 
to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of 
their evil heart. (Jer. 3:17.) 

e. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and na- 
tions that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy 
God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. (Is. 
55:5.) 

f. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on 
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (Mat. 21:44.) 

g. Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me. 
my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build 
an house of rest for the ark o£ the covenant of the Lord, and for the 
footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building. (I Chr. 
28:2.) But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living 
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels. 
(Heb. 12:22.) 

h. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say 
they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to 
come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 
(Rev. 3:9.) 

i. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to 
shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the 
light thereof. (Rev. 21:23.) And there shall be no night there, and 
they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth 
them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev. 22:5.) 

i. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that 
I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken' the earth 
in the clear day. (Amos 8:9.) 

k. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight them- 



selves in the abundance of peace (11). For such as be blessed of him 
shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. 
(Ps. 37:11, 22.) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 
(Mat. 5:5.) 

1. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying. The kingdom 
of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and 
sowed in his field. (Mat. 13:31.) 

Chapter 61. 

a. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. 
And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was 
written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed 
me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the 
broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of 
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. (Luke 
4:17, 18.) 

b. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 
(Ps. 147:3.) 

c. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 
(Jno. 8:36.) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the 
Lord is, there is liberty. (II Cor. 3:17.) Stand fast therefore in the 
liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again 
with the yoke of bondage. (Gal. 5:1.) And they sung a new song, say- 
ing, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for 
thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every 
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. (Rev. 5:9.) 

d. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Mat. 
5:4.) And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are par- 
takers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. (II Cor. 
1:7.) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and there shall 
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any 
more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Rev. 21:4.) 

e. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall 
ye be my disciples. (Jno. 15:8.) 

f. Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed 
you from all your iniquities. I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, 
and the wastes shall be builded. (Ez. 36:33.)

work in truth, ^and I will make an everlasting 
covenant with them. 

9 And their seed shall be known among the 
Gen'tlles, and their offspring among the peo- 
ple: all that see them shall acknowledge them, 
that they are the seed which the Lord hath 
blessed. 

10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my 
soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath 
clothed me with the garments of salvation, he 
hath covered me with the robe of righteous- 
ness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with 
ornaments, and as a bride adometh herself 
with her jewels. 

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, 
and as the garden causeth the things that are 
sown in it to spring forth ; so the Lord God 
will cause ''righteousness and praise to spring 
forth before all the nations. 

CHAPTER 62. 
1 The desire of the prophet to confirm the 
church in God's promises. 5 The office of 
the ministers (unto which they are incited) 
in preaching the gospel, 10 and preparing 
the people thereto. 

1 1 For Zi'on's sake will I not hold my peace, 
and for Je-ru sa-lem's sake I will not rest, 
until the righteousness thereof go forth as 
brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp 
that burneth. 

2 And the Gen'tlles shall see thy righteous- 
ness, and all kings thy glory: "and thou shalt 
be called by a new name, which the mouth of 
the Lord shall name. 

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the 
hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the 
hand of thy God. 

4 Thou l shalt no more be termed Forsaken; 
neither shall thy land any more be termed 
Desolate: but thou shalt be called -Heph'zi- 
bah, and thy land 'Beu'lah: for the Lord de- 
lighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 

5 11 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, 
so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bride- 
groom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy 
God rejoice over thee. 

6 C I have set watchmen upon thy walls, 
Je-ru'sa-lem, which shall never hold their peace 
day nor night : ye that make mention of the 
Lord, keep not silence, 

7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and 
till he make Je-ru'sa-lem d a praise in the earth.

laboured :

the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter 
of Zi'dn, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, 
his reward is with him, and his work before 
him.

ple, The redeemed of the Lord; and thou shalt 
be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. 

CHAPTER 63. 

1 Christ sheweth wJw he is, 2 what his victory 

over his enemies, 7 and what his mercy 

toward his church. 15 The church in their 

prayer, 17 and complaint, profess their faith. 

1 l Whp is this that cometh from E'dom, with 
dyed garments from 2 Boz'rah? this that is 
glorious in his apparel, travelling in the great- 
ness of his strength? I that speak in right- 
eousness, mighty to save. 

2 Wherefore "art thou red in thine apparel, 
and thy garments like him that treadeth in the 
z winefat? 

3 / have Hrodden the winepress alone; and 
of the people there was none with me: for I 
will tread them in mine anger, and trample 
them in my fury; and their blood shall be 
sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain 
all my raiment. 

4 For the day of Vengeance is in mine heart, 
and the year of my redeemer is come. 

•5 And I looked, and c there was none to help; 
and I wondered that there was none to uphold: 
therefore mine own arm brought salvation 
unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 

6 And I will tread down the people in mine 
anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and 
I will bring down their strength to the earth. 

7 ir 5 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of 
the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, accord- 
ing to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, 
and the great goodness toward the house of 
is'ra-el, which he hath bestowed on them ac- 
cording to his ^mercies, and according to the 
multitude of his lovingkindnesses. 

8 For he "said, Surely they are my people, 
children that will not lie: so he was their 
Saviour. 



g. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul- shall 
live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure 
mercies of David. (Is. 55:3.) 

h. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look 
down from heaven. (Ps. 85:11.) Drop down, ye heavens, from above, 
and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let 
them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I 
the Lord have created it. (Is. 45:8.) For he hath made him to be sin 
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of 
God in him. (II Cor. 5:21.) 

Chapter 62. 

a-. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my 
God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name 
of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, 
which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will write upon 
him my new name. (Rev. 3:12.) 

b. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people 
of God: which had not ohtained mercv, but now have obtained mercy. 
(I Pet. 2:10.) 

c. Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of 
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning 
from me. (Ez. 3:17.) Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; w r ith the 
voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the 
Lord shall bring again Zion. (Is. 52:8.) 

d. At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I 
gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people 
of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith 
the Lord. (Zeph. 3:20.) 

e. Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes and thou shalt not eat 
thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, 
and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine 
enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. (Dt. 28:31.) And 



they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy 
daughters should eat; they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds; they 
shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees; they shall impoverish thy 
fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. (Jer. 5:17.) 

f. And ye shall rejoice before the Lord yoar God, ye, and your sons, 
and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-serv?uts, 
and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no 
part nor inheritance with vou. (Dt. 12:12.) 

Chapter 63. 

a. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his 
name is called The Word of God. (Rev. 19:13.) 

b. The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the 
midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young 
men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a 
wine-press. (Lam. 1:15.) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, 
that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with 
a rod of iron: and he treadeth the wine-press of the fierceness and 
wrath of Almighty God. (Rev. 19:15.) 

c. Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scat- 
tered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not 
alone, because the Father is with me. (Jno. 16:32.) 

d. Hear me when I call. O God of my righteousness: thou hast en- 
larged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my 
prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: 
turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 
69:16.) And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented ac- 
cording to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) Go and proclaim 
these words toward the north, and say. Return, thou backsliding Israel, 
saith the 'Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I 
am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 
3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke

9 In 'all their affliction he was afflicted, fand 
the angel of his presence saved them: sin his 
love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he 
bare them, and carried them all the days of old. 

10 1 But they rebelled, and ''vexed his holy 
Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their 
enemy, and he fought against them. 

11 Then he remembered the days of old, 
Mo'ses, and his people, saying, Where is he 
that brought them up out of the sea with the 
shepherd of his flock? where is he that put 
his holy Spirit within him? 

12 That led them by the right hand of Mo'- 
§e§ with his glorious arm, dividing the water 
before them, to make himself an everlasting 
name? 

13 That led them through the deep, as an 
horse in the wilderness, that they should net 
stumble? 

14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, 
the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so 
didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a 
glorious name. 

15 1 Look down from heaven, and behold 
from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy 
glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the 
sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies 
toward me? are they restrained? 

16 Doubtless thou art our father, Hhough 
A'bra-ham be ignorant of us, and Is'ra-el ac- 
knowledge us not: thou, Lord, art our fa- 
ther, our redeemer; thy name is from ever- 
lasting. 

17 H Lord, why -'hast thou made us to err 
from thy ways, and hardened A 'our heart from 
thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the 
tribes of thine inheritance. 

18 The people of thy holiness have possessed 
it but a little while: our adversaries have 
trodden down thy sanctuary. 

19 We are thine: thou never barest rule 
over them; they were not called by thy name.

what he hath prepared for him that waiteth 
for him. 

5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth 6 and 
worketh righteousness, those that remember 
thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; foi 
we have sinned: in those is continuance, and 
we shall be saved. 

6 But we are all as an 'unclean thing, and 
all f our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and 
we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, 
like the wind, have taken us away. 

7 And there is none that calleth upon thy 
name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of 
thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and 
hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. 

8 But now, Lord, thou art our father; we 
are the clay, d and thou our potter; and we all 
are f the work of thy hand. 

9 U Be not wroth very sore, Lord, neither 
remember iniquity for ever : behold, see, we be- 
seech thee, we are all thy people. 

10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zi'on 
is a wilderness, Je-ru'sa-lem a desolation.

neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath

is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the right- 
eousness which is of God by faith. (Phil. 3:9.) 

d. O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith 
the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine 
hand, O house of Israel. (Jer. 18:6.) Nay but, O man, who art thou 
that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that

7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your 
fathers together, saith the Lord, which have 
burned incense upon the mountains, and blas- 
phemed me upon the hills: therefore will I 
measure their former work into their bosom. 

8 f Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is 
found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it 
not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for 
my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy 
them all. 

9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Ja'- 
cob, and out of Jii'dah an inheritor of my moun- 
tains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my 
servants shall dwell there. 

10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and 
the valley of A'chor a place for the herds to lie 
down in, for my people that have sought me. 

11 r But ye are they that forsake the Lord, 
•that forget my holy "mountain, that prepare 
e a table for that troop, and that furnish the 
drink offering unto that number. 

12 Therefore will I 7 number you to the 
sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaugh- 
ter: because when I called, ye did not answer; 
when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil 
before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein 
I delighted not. 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be 
■'hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but 
ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall 
rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed. 

14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy 
of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, 
and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 

15 And ye shall leave your name ""for a 
curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall 
slay thee, and call his servants by another 
'■'name : 

16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth 
shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he 
that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the 
God of truth; because the former troubles are 
forgotten, and because they are hid from mine 
eyes. 

17 f For, behold, I create Onew heavens and, 
a new earth: and the former shall not be re- 
membered, nor come into mind. 

18 But be' ye glad and rejoice for ever in 
that which I create: for, behold, I create Je- 
ru'sa-lem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 

19 And I will rejoice in Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
joy in my people: and the ll voice of weeping 
shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of 
crying. 

20 There shall be no more thence an infant 
of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his 
days: for the child shoM die an hundred years

old; but the sinner being an hundred years old 
shall be accursed. 

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit 
them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat 
the fruit of them. 

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; 
they shall not plant, and another eat: for as 
the days of a tree are the days of my people, 
and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of 
their hands. 

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring 
forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the 
blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with 
them. 

24 And it shall come to pass, that l before 
they call, I will answer; and while they are 
yet speaking, I will hear.

gether, and the lion shall eat straiv like the 
bullock: ''and dust v 'shall be the serpent's meat.

CHAPTER 66. 
1 God will be served in humble sincerity. 5 He 
comforteth the humble with the marvellous 
generation, 10 and with, the gracious benefits 
of the church. 19 The Gentiles shall have 
an holy church. 

1 "Thus saith the Lord, a The heaven is my 
throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is 
the house that ye build unto me? and where is 
the place of my rest? 

2 For all those things hath mine hand made, 
and all those things have been, saith the Lord : 
but to this man will I look, even 6 to him that 
is poor and of a contrite spirit, and 'trembleth 
at my word. 

3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a 
man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut 
off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, 
as if he offered swine's blood; he that burnetii 
incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they 
have chosen their own ways, and their soul de- 
lighteth in their abominations. 

4 I also will choose their delusions, and will 
bring their fears upon them; ^because when I 
called, none did answer; when I spake, they 
did not hear: but they did evil before mine 
eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. 

5 f Hear the word of the Lord, ye that 
tremble at his word; Your brethren that fJ hated 
you, that cast you out for my name's sake, 
said, f Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall 
appear to our joy, and they shall be ashamed.

the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was

e. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye 
cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 
(I Cor. 10:21.) 

f. And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the 
heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, 
and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong. 
(Zech. 8:13.) 

g. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens 
and a new earth, wherein' dwelleth righteousness. (II Pet. 3:13.) For 
as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make, shall re- 
main before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name 
remain. (Is. 66:22.) 

h. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed 
them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God 
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev. 7:17.) 

i. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth 
what things ye have need of before ye ask him. (Mat. 6:8.) 

j. And the Lord God said unto the serpent. Because thou hast done 
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the 



field. (Gen. 3:14.) And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your 
feet shortly. (Rom. 16:20.)

heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house that 
I have builded! (I Ks. 8:27.) 

b. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and 
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Ps. 34:1S. ) 

c. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my 
hand, and no man regarded. (Prov. 1:24.) But they refused to hearken, 
and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should 
not hear. (Zech. 7:11.) 

d. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated 
you. (Jno. 15:1S.) Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 
(I Jno. 3:13.) And ye shall be hated of all nations for mv name's sake. 
(Mat. 24:9.) 

e. Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin 
as it were with a cart rope: That say. Let him make speed, and hasten 
his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of 
Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! (Is. 5:18, 19.)*

she brought forth her children. 

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause 
to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause 
to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy 
God. 

10 Rejoice ye with 4 Je-ru'sa-lem, and be glad 
with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy 
with her, all ye that mourn for her: 

11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with 
the breasts of her consolations; that ye may 
milk out, and be delighted with the abundance 
of her glory. 

12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
extend peace to her like a river, and the glory 
of the Gen 'tiles, like a flowing stream: then 
shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, 
and be dandled upon her knees. 

13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so 
will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted 
in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14 And when ye see this, your heart shall 
rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an 
herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known 
toward his servants, and his indignation to- 
ward his enemies. 

15 For, ^behold, the Lord will come with fire, 
and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to ren- 
der his anger with fury, and his rebuke with 
flames of fire. 

16 For by fire and by shis sivord will the 
Lord plead tvith all flesh: and the slain of the

together, saith the Lord. 

18 For I ''know their works and their 
thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all 
nations and tongues; and they shall come, and 
see my glory. 

19 And I will set a r 'sign among them, and 
I will send those that 6 escape of them unto the 
nations, to 7 Tar'shish, s Pul, and 8 Lud, that 
draw the bow, to "Tubal, and 10 Ja'van, to the 
isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, 
neither have seen my glory; *and they shall 
declare my glory among the Gen'tile§. 

20 And they shall bring all your brethren 
for an offering unto the Lord out of all na- 
tions upon horses, and in chariots, and in lit- 
ters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, 
to my holy mountain Je-ru'sa-lem, saith the 
Lord, as the children of Is'ra-el bring an offer- 
ing in a clean vessel into the house of the

your name remain. 

23 And it shall come to pass, that from one 
new moon to another, and from one sabbath 
to another, shall all "flesh come to worship 
before me, saith the Lord. 

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon 
the carcases of the men that have transgressed 
against me: for their worm shall not die, 
neither shall their fire be quenched; and they 
shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

g. In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword 
shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked 
serpent: and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. (Is. 27:1.) 

h. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than 
any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul 
and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the 
thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12.) I know thy works, 
and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them 
which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, 
and are not, and hast found them liars. (Rev. 2:2.) 



i. For from the rising of the sun, even unto the going down of

my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.

nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him 
who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. (I Pet. 
2:9.)

and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (II Pet. 3:13.) And 
I saw a new heaven and a new earth. (Rev. 21:1.) For, behold, I 
create new heavens, and a new earth: and the former shall not be re- 
membered, nor come into mind. (Is. 65:17.) 



THE BOOK OF THE 

PROPHET JEREMIAH 



NOTE. — As Moses appeared at the time of the sunrise of Jewish history, and Solomon at its noonday splendor, whose reign marked the very zenith of the 
nation, proudly spreading its limits out from the Euphrates to the Red Sea, so Jer. appeared at the sunset, when the onee great nation had shrunk to the nar- 
row limits of southern Palestine, in the hilly country of Judea, scarcely 50 miles square. So great the change, that its hope of safety and immunity came no 
longer from its invincible strength and wonderful resources, but from its insignificance. 

The Book of Jer. is two-fold in its purpose: first, prophecies concerning the Jewish people; second, moral and spiritual instructions to keep before them the 
fact of and the character of the divine administration; and through it all is revealed as a woven thread, the sad refrain of impending calamity and judgment, 
which the prophet connects with the religious apostasy aud moral corruption of the people. The book may be said to divide itself into four parts; (1) The his- 
torical, which is presented in the headings of particular prophecies and many incidental allusions, also many direct statements, shedding much light on the life 
of Jerusalem at this time. Many authorities claim that no other book of the Old Testament, not of itself historical, contains so much valuable historical matter as 
Jer.; (2) admonitions, embracing gentle reproofs for past faults and friendly cautions to guard against future dangers. It is the prophet's special purpose to 
awaken the people to a just sense of God and spiritual things, and to cause them to realize how far they had departed from the purity and simplicity of the divine 
plans. In order to convince them how widely they had departed from God's plans for them and to what depths they had fallen in sin, he drags to life some of 
their fearful abominations; (3) the mandatory threatening element. In this part of the book are portrayed some of the most terribly vivid and terrific descrip- 
tions of future evils which are recorded in the Old Testament; (4) prophecies, embracing promises and encouragement. "The one great truth that casts its 
glory over the whole picture is the truth of God's faithful covenant with His people. On the dark background of the people's sins the prophet ever seeks to place 
the glory of the Messianic salvation. And so. 'in that stormy sunset of prophecy, he beholds in spirit the dawn of a brighter and eternal day.' " Jer. setks 
to draw the people's mind away from all things external — sacrifices, temples, art and law — back to things inward and real. People spoke much of reform. He 
would have said, "Break up the fallow ground and sow not among thorns" (Jer. 4:3). "Circumcise yourselves to the Lord and take away the foreskins of 
your heart" (Jer. 4:4). "0 Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness" (Jer. 4:14). Sin is "Stubbornness of the evil heart" (Jer. 7:24). With the 
prophets, sin is individually universal. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The time, 3 and the calling of Jeremiah. 
11 His -prophetical visions of an almond rod 
and a seething pot. 15 His heavy message 
against Judah. 17 God encourageth him. 

1 'The words of 2 Jer-e-mi'ah the son of Hil- 
kl'ah, of the priests that were in s An'a-thoth 
in the land of Ben'ja-min: 

2 To whom a the word of the ^Lord came in 
the days of s Jo-si'ah the son of A'mon king of 
Ju'dah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 

3 It came also in the days of Je-hoi'a-kim 
the son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah, unto the 
end of the eleventh year of Zed-e-ki'ah the 
son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah, unto the carry- 
ing away of Je-ru'sa-lem captive in the fifth 
month. 

4 Then the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew 
thee; and before thou earnest forth out of the 
womb I 6 sanctified thee, and I ordained thee 
a prophet unto the nations. 

6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I 
cannot speak: for I am a child. 

7 f But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I 
am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I 
shall send thee, and whatsoever I command 
thee thou shalt speak. 

8 Be not afraid of their faces: for d l am 
with thee to deliver r thee, saith the Lord. 

9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and 
touched 'my mouth. And the Lord said unto 
me, Behold, I have *put my words in thy 
mouth. 

10 See, I have this day set thee over the 
nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, 
and 7 to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw 
down, to build, and to plant. 

11 II Moreover the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, Jer-e-mi'ah, what seest thou? 
And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. 

12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast 
well seen: for I will hasten my word to per- 
form it. 

13 And the word of the Lord came unto me 
the second time, saying, What seest thou?

1. The first three verses constitute 
a heading for the entire book. The 
title was probably written by Jer. 
himself, when he made a collection 
of his writings for his countrymen 
to take with them to Babylon. 

2. Jer., the great prophet, called 
to his work when he says himself 
he was but a child, i. e.. in young 
manhood, presents one of the strong- 
est figures in Jewish history. In his 
life are found two characteristics of 
almost opposite import, viz., a heart 
full of tenderness and sympathy, as 
sensitive and delicate as a woman's, 
and a will of the firmness of the 
rockribbed mountain. In his charac- 
ter are combined the characteristics 
of both Peter and John — Petine in 
his quick, sympathetic and courageous 
actions. Johnian in his simplicity, 
spirituality and tenderness. He was 
called among his people at such a 
period as made it a life and death 
struggle. Though he was as prompt 
and courageous in the discharge of 
his duties as was Jehovah in his com- 
mands, of exquisite sensibility, timid 
and desponding, "he was as fearless 
when he had to face the whole world 
as he was cast down and dispirited 
when alone with God." He has been 
called "the weeping prophet."

1. In this ch. Jehovah is remon- 
strating with the Jews, reminding 
them of their former devotedness 
and the consequent blessings they re- 
ceived from Jehovah, also warning 
them not to rely on a heathen nation, 
as they had done. 

2. Vs. 4-13 detail Jehovah's faith- 
fulness and Israel's apostasy. 



And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face 
thereof is toward the north. 

14 Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the 
north an evil shall break forth upon all the 
inhabitants of the land. 

15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the 
kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and 
they shall come, and they shall ; 'set every one 
his throne at the entering of the gates of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and against all the walls thereof 
round about, and against all the cities of Ju'- 
dah. 

16 And I will 'utter my judgments against 
them touching all their wickedness, ■'who have 
forsaken me, and have burned incense unto 
other gods, and worshipped the works of their 
own hands. 

17 II Now therefore gird up thy loins, and 
arise, and speak unto them all that I command 
thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I 
confound thee before them. 

18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a 
defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen 
walls against the whole land, against the kings 
of Ju'dah, against the princes thereof, against 
the priests thereof, and against the people of 
the land. 

19 And they shall fight against thee; but 
they shall not prevail against thee; fc for I am 
with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.

espousals, when thou wentest after me in the

but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 
(II Pet. 1:21.) 

b. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's 
womb, and called me hy his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I 
might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not 
with flesh and blood. (Gal. 1:15, 16.) 

c. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have com-

far from me, and have walked after vanity, 
and "are become vain? 

6 Neither said 3 they, Where is the Lord that 
brought us up out of the land of E'gypt, that 
led us through the wilderness, through a land 
of deserts and of pits, through a land of 
drought, and of the shadow of death, through 
a land that no man passed through, and where 
no man dwelt? 

7 And I brought you into a plentiful coun- 
try, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness 
thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my 
land, and made mine heritage an abomination. 

8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? 
and they that handle the 6 law knew me not: 
the pastors also transgressed against me, and 
the prophets prophesied by Ba'al, and walked 
after things that do not profit. 

9 IT Wherefore C I will yet 4 plead with you, 
saith the Lord, and with your children's chil- 
dren will I plead. 

10 For pass over the isles of Chit'tim, and 
see; and send unto Ke'dar, and consider dili- 
gently, and see if there be such a thing. 

11 "Hath a nation changed their gods, which 
are yet no gods? but my people have changed 
their glory for that which doth not profit. 

12 Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and 
be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith 
the Lord. 

13 For my people have committed two evils; 
they have forsaken me the c fountain of living 
waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken 
cisterns, that can hold no water. 

14 H 5 Is is'ra-el a servant? is he a home- 
born slave? why is he spoiled? 

15 The young 6 lions roared upon him, and 
yelled, and they made his land waste: his 
cities are burned without inhabitant. 

16 Also the children of Noph T and Ta-hap'a- 
ne§ have broken the, crown of thy head. 

17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, 
in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, 
when he led thee by the way? 

18 And now what hast thou to do fin the 
way of E'gypt, to drink the waters of Si'hor? 
or what hast thou to do in the way of As-syr'- 
l-a, to drink the waters of the driver? 

19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, 
and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know 
therefore and see that it is an evil thing and 
bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy 
God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith 
the Lord God of hosts.

hill and under every green tree thou wander- 
est, playing the harlot. 

21 Yet I had ''planted thee a noble vine, 
wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned 
into the degenerate plant of a strange vine 
unto me? 

22 For though thou wash thee with "nitre, 
and take thee much 12 sope, yet thine iniquity 
is marked before me, saith the Lord God. 

23 'How canst thou say, I am not polluted, 
I have not gone after Ba'al-im? see thy way 
in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou 
art a swift dromedary traversing her ways; 

24 A "wild ass used to the wilderness, that 
snuff eth up the wind at her pleasure; in her 
occasion who can turn her away? all they that 
seek her will not weary themselves; in her 
month they shall find her. 

25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, 
and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, 
There is no hope: no; for I have loved strang- 
ers, and after them will I go. 

26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, 
so is the house of Is'ra-el ashamed; they, their 
kings, their princes, and their priests, and 
their prophets. 

27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; 
and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: 
for they have turned their back unto me, and 
not their face: but in the time of their ^trouble 
they will say, Arise, and save us. 

28 But A where are thy gods that thou hast 
made thee? let them arise, if they can save 
thee in the time of thy 'trouble: for according 
to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O 
Ju'dah.

have transgressed against me, saith the Lord. 

30 In vain have I smitten your children; 
they received no correction : your own sword 
hath devoured '"your prophets, like a destroy- 
ing lion. 

31 H O generation, see ye the word of the 
Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Is'ra-el? 
a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, 
We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? 

32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a 
bride her attire? yet my people "have forgot- 
ten me days without number. 

33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? 
therefore hast thou also taught the wicked 
ones thy ways.

the souls of the poor innocents: I have not 
found it by secret search, but upon all these. 

35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, 
surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, 
I will plead with thee, ^because thou sayest, 
I have not sinned.

Chapter 2. 

a. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as 
God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and 
their foolish heart was darkened. (Rom. 1:21.) ; 

b. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found 
in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many 
away from iniquity. (Mai. 2:6.) 

c. Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong 
foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his 
people, and he will plead with Israel. (Mic. 6:2.) 

d. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and 
we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever. (Mic. 
4:5.) 

e. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see 
light. (Ps. 36:9.) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall 
give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall 
be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (Jno. 4:14.) 

f. Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, 
but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit, 
that they may add sin to sin: That walk to go down into Egypt, and 
have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength 
of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! (Is. 30:1, 2.) 

g. All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned 
the words of the people unto the Lord. (Ex. 19:8.) 

h. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the 
heathen, and planted it. (Ps. 80:8.) There was a certain householder, 
which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a 



wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and 
went into a far country. (Mat. 21:33.) 

i. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet 
is not washed from their filthiness. (Prov. 30:12.) 

j. We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken 
our God, and also served Baalim. (Jud. 10:10.) 

k. Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted? (Dt. 
32:37.) 

1. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are 
escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood 
of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. (Is. 45:20.) 

m. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye 
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the 
righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we 
would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 
(Mat. 23:29, 30.) Which of the prophets have not your fathers perse- 
cuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of 
the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers. 
(Acts 7:52.) 

n. For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and 
Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his 
cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hos. 8:14.) 

o. Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils. 
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their 
daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land 
was polluted with blood. (Ps. 106:37, 38.)

change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed 
of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of As-syr'i-a. 
37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and 
thine hands upon thine head: for the Lord 
hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt 
not prosper in them. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 God's great mercy in Judah's vile tuhoredom. 
6 Judah is worse than Israel. 12 The prom- 
ises of the gospel to the penitent. 20 Israel 
reproved, and called by God, maketh a sol- 
emn confession of their sins. 

1 'They say, If a man put away his Wife, 
and she go from him, and become another 
man's, "shall he return unto her again? shall 
not that land be greatly polluted? but thou 
hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet 
return again to me, saith the Lord. 

2 Lift up thine eyes unto the 6 high places, 
and see where thou hast not been lien with. 
In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the 
A-ra'bl-an in the wilderness; and thou hast 
polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with 
thy wickedness. 

3 Therefore the c showers have been with- 
holden, and there hath been no latter rain; 
and thou hadst a d whore's forehead, thou re- 
fusedst to be ashamed. 

4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, 
My father, thou art the guide of my youth? 

5 Will he "reserve his anger for ever? will 
he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast 
spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. 

6 II 2 The Lord said 'also unto me in the days 
of Jo-si'ah the king, Hast thou seen that 
which 'backsliding Is'ra-el hath done? she is 
gone up upon every high mountain and under 
every green tree, and there hath played the 
harlot. 

7 ^And I said after she had done all these 
things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned 
not. And her 4 treacherous sister Ju'dah saw it. 

8 And I saw, when for all the causes where- 
by backsliding Is'ra-el committed adultery I 
had put her away, and given her a bill of di- 
vorce; yet her treacherous sister Ju'dah feared 
not, but went and played the harlot also. 

9 And it came to pass through the lightness 
of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and 
committed adultery with stones and with 
stocks. 

10 And yet for all this her treacherous sis- 
ter Ju'dah hath not turned unto me with her 
whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord. 

11 5 And the Lord said unto me, The back- 
sliding Is'ra-el hath justified herself more than 
'treacherous Ju'dah.

1. Vs. 1-5, Israel's sin and pun- 
ishment. 



2. Vs. 6-10, Judah persists in fol- 
lowing Israel. 



3. That is, nearly a hundred years 
ago, Israel did as Judah is now doing, 
and she now ceases to exist as a 
kingdom. 



4. Faithless. 



5. Vs. 11-18, the call to return. 



6. This passage is one of the sub- 
limest in its reflection of the divine 
tenderness in the Old Testament. In 
spite of the faithlessness of his peo- 
ple, God remembers his covenant with 
them and, in his compassion, turns 
suppliant himself and pleads with 
them to return. 



7. Though but one or two Israel- 
ites were in a foreign city, they 
should be remembered and restored; 
so in his spiritual kingdom, God gath- 
ers single converts and loses not one. 
(Mat. 18:14) — "Even so it is not the 
will of your Father which is in heav- 
en that one of these Httle ones should 
perish." 



8. That is, they shall not seek the 
symbol because they have the reality. 



9. Vs. 19-25 detail the conditions 
upon which the restoration will be 
made. 



12 H Go and proclaim these words toward 
the north, and say, Return, thou ^backsliding 
Is'ra-el, saith the Lord; and I will not cause 
mine anger to fall upon you : for I am merci- 
ful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger 
for ever. 

13 '-Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that 
thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy 
God, and hast scattered thy ways to the 
strangers under every green tree, and ye have 
not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. 

14 Turn, backsliding children, saith the 
Lord; for I am "married unto you: and I will 
take you 'one of a city, and two 7 of a family, 
and I will bring you to Zi'on: 

15 And I will give you pastors according to 
mine heart, which shall 'feed you with knowl- 
edge and understanding. 

16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be 
multiplied and increased in the land, in those 
days, saith the Lord, ->'they shall say no more, 
The s ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither 
shall it come to mind: neither shall they re- 
member it; neither shall they visit it.; neither 
shall that be done any more. 

17 At that time they shall call Je-ru'sa-lem 
the throne of the Lord; and all the nations 
shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the 
Lord, to Je-ru'sa-lem: neither shall they walk 
any more after the imagination of their evil 
heart. 

18 In those days the house of Ju'dah shall 
walk with the house of Is'ra-el, and they shall 
come together out of the land of the north to 
the land that I have given for an inheritance 
unto your fathers. 

19 "But I said, How shall I put thee among 
the children, and give thee a pleasant land, 
a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? 
and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and 
shalt not turn away from me. 

20 H Surely In as a wife treacherously depart- 
eth from her husband, so have ye dealt treach- 
erously with me, house of Is'ra-el, saith the 
Lord. 

21 A voice was heard upon the high places, 
weeping and supplications of the children of 
Is'ra-el : for they have perverted their way, 
and they have forgotten the Lord their God. 

22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I 
'''will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come 
unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God. 

23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for 
from the hills, and from the multitude of moun- 
tains: truly in the Lord our God is the salva- 
tion of Is'ra-el. 

24 'For shame hath devoured the labour of 



Chapter 3. 

a. Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her 
again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination 
before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the 
Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. (Dt. 24:4.) 

b. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which 
ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon 
the hills, and under every green tree. (Dt. 12:2.) 

c. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your 
heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. (Lev. 26:19.) For thus saith 
the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow 
ground, and sow not among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, 
and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and in- 
habitants of Jerusalem; lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn 
that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Declare 
ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet 
in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and 
let us go into the defenced cities. Set up the standard toward Zion: 
retire, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great de- 
struction. (Jer. 4:3-6.) 

d. But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they 
will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and 
hard-hearted. Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, 
and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. (Ez. 3:7, 8.) Were 
they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were 
not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall 
among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast 
down, saith the Lord. (Jer. 6:15.) 

e. He will not always chide; neither will he keep his anger for 
ever. (Ps. 103:9.) For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be 
always wroth. (Is. 57:16.) See v. 12. 

f Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and 



my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, 
and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. (II Ks. 17:13.) 

g. As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death 
of the wicked: but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn 
ye, turn ye, from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 
(Bz. 33:11.) 

h. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our 
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (Jno. 1:9.) And it 
shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the 
blessings and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt 
call them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath 
driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his 
voice, according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy 
children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the 
Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, 
and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord 
thy God hath scattered thee. (Dt. 30:1-3.) We acknowledge, O Lord, our 
wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against 
thee. (Jer. 14:20.) 

i. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over the 
which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of 
God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28.) 

j. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when 
ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the 
Father (21). God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship 
him in spirit and in truth. (Jno. 4:21, 24.) 

k. Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and 
he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. (Hos. 6:1.) 
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger 
is turned away from him. (Hos. 14:4.) For I will restore health unto 
thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. (Jer. 30:17.)

our fathers from our youth; their flocks and 
their herds, their sons and their daughters. 

25 We lie down in our shame, and our con- 
fusion covereth us: for we have sinned against 
the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from 
our youth even unto this day, and have not 
obeyed the voice of the Lord our God. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 God calleth Israel by his promise. 3 He 
exhorteth Judah to repentoMce by fearful 
judgments. 

1 'If thou wilt return, Is'ra-el, saith the 
Lord, "return unto me: and if thou wilt put 
away thine abominations out of my sight, then 
shalt thou not remove. 

2 And thou ''shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in 
truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and 
the nations shall 'bless themselves in him, and 
in him shall they glory. 

3 If For thus saith the Lord to the men of 
Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, Break d up your fal- 
low "ground, and sow not among thorns. 

4 "Circumcise 'yourselves to the Lord, and 
take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men 
of Ju'dah and inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem: lest 
my fury 'come forth like fire, and burn that 
none can quench it, because of the evil of 
your doings. 

5 Declare ye in Ju'dah, and publish in Je- 
ru'sa-lem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in 
the land: cry, gather together, and say, As- 
semble yourselves, and let us go into the de- 
fenced cities. 

6 Set up the standard toward Zi'on: retire, 
stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, 
and a great destruction. 

7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and 
the destroyer of the Gen'tile§ is on his way; he 
is gone forth from his place to make thy land 
desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, 
without an inhabitant. 

8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament 
and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is 
not turned back from us. 

9 And it shall come to pass at that day, 
saith the Lord, that the heart of the king shall 
perish, and the heart of the princes; and the 
priests shall be astonished, and the prophets 
shall wonder. 

10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! surely thou 
fhast greatly deceived this people and Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas 
the sword reacheth unto the soul. 

11 At that time shall it be said to this 
people and to Je-ru'sa-lem, A s dry wind of the 
high places in the wilderness toward the 
daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to 
cleanse, 

12 Even a full wind from those places shall 
come unto me: now also will I give sentence 
against them. 

13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and 
his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his 
horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! 
for we are spoiled. 



Ch. i. B. C. 612. 



1. In vs. 1-18 is recorded the call 
to Israel to return. It in unfortunate 
that a ch. division is niade here, as 
ch. 4 is really a continuation of ch. 3. 
Vs. 1 and 2 of this ch. are the words 
of Jehovah answering the 25th verse 
of ch. 3 and must be read in this con- 
nection to be appreciated. 



2. That is, enter upon a new life, 
prepare the soil of your hearts, that 
the seeds of repentance may fall upon 
good ground and not among thorns. 
(Mat. 13:7, S)— "And some fell 
among thorns; and the thorns sprung 
up and choked them; but others fell 
into good ground and brought forth 
fruit, some 100 fold, some 60 fold, 
some 30 fold." 



3. A call to entire consecration. 



4. Sin is a fuel which will surely 
be ignited by the divine fury and be- 
come a consuming fire. 



5. A hot wind, that is, the simoon. 



6. Vs. 10-31 record the lament for 
the coming desolation and ruin. 



14 O Je-ru'sa-lem, wash thine heart from 
wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How 
long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? 

15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and 
publisheth affliction from mount E'phra-im. 

16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, 
publish against Je-ru'sa-lem, that watchers 
come from a far country, and give out their 
voice against the cities of Ju'dah. 

17 As keepers of a field, are they against 
her round about; because she hath been rebel- 
lious against me, saith the Lord. 

18 Thy way and thy doings have procured 
these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, 
because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto 
thine heart. 

19 Tl c My bowels, my bowels ! I am pained at 
my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in 
me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast 
heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, 
the alarm of war. 

20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for 
the whole land is spoiled : suddenly are my 
tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. 

21 How long shall I see the standard, and 
hear the sound of the trumpet? 

22 For my people is foolish, they have not 
known me; they are sottish children, and they 
have none understanding: they are wise to do 
evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 

23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without 
form, and void; and the heavens, and they had 
no light. 

24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they 
trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 

25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and 
#all the birds of the heavens were fled. 

26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was 
a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were 
broken down at the presence of the Lord, and 
by his fierce anger. 

27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole 
land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a 
full end. 

28 For this ''shall the earth mourn, and the 
heavens above be black: because I have spoken 
it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, 
neither will I turn back 'from it. 

29 The J'whole city shall flee for the noise of 
the horsemen and bowmen ; they shall go into 
thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every 
city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell 
therein. 

30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt 
thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with 
crimson, though thou deckest thee with orna- 
ments of gold, though thou rentest thy face 
with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself 
fair; thy Covers will despise thee, they will 
seek thy life. 

31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman 
in travail, and the anguish as of her that 
bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the 
daughter of Zi'on, that bewaileth herself, that 
spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! 
for my soul is wearied because of murderers. 



as the first-ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal- 
peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations 
were according as they loved. (Hos. 9:10.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. Therefore also now, saith the Lord, Turn ye even to me with 
all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. 
(Joel 2:12.) 

b. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to 
him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. (Dt. 10:20.) And I 
will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and 
they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in right- 
eousness. (Zech. 8:8.) 

c. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen 
through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In 
thee shall all nations be blessed. (Gal. 3:8.) 

d. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up 
your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and 
rain righteousness upon you. (Hos. 10:12.) 

e. In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made 
without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the 
circumcision of Christ. (Col. 2:11.) 



f. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that 
they should believe a lie. (II Thess. 2:11.) And if the prophet be de- 
ceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that 
prophet; and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him 
from the midst of my people Israel. (Ez. 11:9.) For many shall come 
in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (Mat. 24:5.) 

g. I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the 
heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the 
wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord. (Zeph. 
1:3.) 

h. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth 
therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls 
of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. (Hos. 
4:3.) I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their 
covering. (Is. 50:3.) 

i. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man. 
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath 
he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) 

j. And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by 
night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's 
garden; and the king went the way toward the plain. (II Ks. 25:4.) 

k. She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks:

JEREMIAH 



B.'C. 612 



CHAPTER 5. 

1 The judgments of God upon the Jews, for 

their perverseness, 1 for their adultery, 

10 for their impiety, 19 for their contempt 

of God, 25 and for their great corruption. 

1 1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and see now, and know, and seek 
in the broad places thereof, "if ye can find 2 a 
man, if there be any that executeth judgment, 
that seeketh the "truth; and I will pardon it. 

2 And Hhough they say, The Lord liveth; 
surely they swear falsely. 

3 Lord, are not c thine eyes upon the 
truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have 
not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but 
d they have refused to receive correction : they 
have made their faces harder than a rock; they 
have refused to return. 

4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; 
they are foolish: for c they know not the way 
of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God. 

5 I will get me unto the great men, and 
will speak unto them; for they have known 
the way of the Lord, and the "judgment of 
their God: but these have altogether broken 
the yoke, and burst the bonds. 

6 Wherefore a 5 lion out of the forest shall 
slay them, and a 5 wolf of the 8 evenings shall 
spoil them, a 5 leopard shall watch over their 
cities: every one that goeth out thence shall 
be torn in pieces: because their transgressions 
are many, and their backslidings are increased. 

7 IPHow shall I pardon thee for this? thy 
children have forsaken me, and ''sworn by 
them that are #no gods: when I had fed them 
to the full, they then committed adultery, and 
assembled themselves by troops in the 8 harlots' 
houses. 

8 They were as fed horses in the morning: 
every one "neighed after his neighbour's wife. 

9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith 
the Lord: ,l and shall not my soul be avenged 
on such a nation as this? 

10 H Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; 
but make not a full end : take away her battle- 
ments; for they are not the Lord's. 

11 10 For the house of Is'ra-el and the house 
of Ju'dah have dealt very treacherously against 
me, saith the Lord. 

12 *They have "belied the Lord, and said, 
It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; 
neither shall we see sword nor famine: 

13 And the prophets shall become wind, and 
the word is not in them: thus shall it be done 
unto them. 

14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of 
hosts, Because ye speak this word, ^'behold, I 
will make my words in thy mouth 12 fire, and 
this people wood, and it shall devour them. 



Ch. 5. b. c. 612. 



1. In ch. 5 the cause of the judg- 
ments is proclaimed to be the univer- 
sal corruption of the people. In vs. 
1-10 universal corruption is declared 
to make pardon impossible. 



2. A godly man. 



3. The truth of character. 



4. Justice. 



5. A detailing of the curse de- 
nounced in Lev. 26:22 — "I will also 
send wild beasts among you." 



6. Plains. 



7. Why ? 



8. An expression symbolizing both 
carnal and spiritual uncleanness. 



0. Inflamed with lust. 



11. In vs. 11-18 it is declared that 
God's word by his prophets shall be 
fulfilled in punishment. 



11. Denied. 



12. Like fire in its devouring en- 
ergy. 



13. Judah, which now represents 
the true Israel of God. 



14. In vs. 19-31 it is declared that 
the obstinacy of Judah will call ruin 
down upon her. 



15. The penalty shall be in keep- 
ing with the sin. 



15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from 
far, house of "is'ra-el, saith the Lord: it is 
a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a na- 
tion whose language thou knowest not, neither 
understandest what they say. 

16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, 
they are all mighty men. 

17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and 
thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters 
should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and 
thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and 
thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced 
cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. 

18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the 
Lord, I will not make a full end with you. 

19 1f "And it shall come to pass, when ye 
shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all 
these things unto us? then shalt thou answer 
them, "Like as ye have forsaken me, and served 
strange gods in your land, so fc shall ye serve 
strangers in a land that is not your's. 

20 Declare this in the house of Ja'cob, and 
publish it in Ju'dah, saying, 

21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and 
without understanding; which have eyes, and 
see not; which have ears, and hear not: 

22 Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will 
ye not tremble at my presence, which have 
placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a 
perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and 
though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet 
can they not prevail; though they roar, yet 
can they not pass over it? 

23 But this people hath a revolting and a 
rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 

24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us 
now fear the Lord our God, that giveth m rain, 
both the former and the latter, in his season: 
he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of 
the harvest. 

25 If Your iniquities have turned away these 
things, and your sins have withholden good 
things from you. 

26 For among my people are found wicked 
men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; 
they set a trap, they catch men. 

27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their 
houses full of deceit: therefore they are be- 
come great, and waxen rich. 

28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, 
they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they 
judge not the cause, the cause of the father- 
less, yet they prosper; and the right of the 
needy do they not judge. 

29 "Shall I not visit for these things? saith 
the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on 
such a nation as this? 

30 f A wonderful and horrible thing is com- 
mitted in the land; 






among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have 
dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. (Lam. 1:2.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the 
hedge, and stand in the gap hefore me for the land, that I should 
not destroy it; but I found none. (Ez. 22:30.) 

b. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, 
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work repro- 
bate. (Tit. 1:16.) Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called 
by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, 
which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of 
Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. (Is. 48:1.) And yet for 
all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her 
whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord. (Jer. 3:10.) 

c. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole 
earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is per- 
fect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; therefore from 
henceforth thou shalt have wars. (II Chr. 16:9.) 

d. She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted 
not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God. (Zeph. 3:2.) 

e. Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and 
the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their 
coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. (Jer. 8:7.) 

f. That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among 
you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to 
swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them. 
(Josh. 23:7.) And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the 
ways of my people, to swear by my name, The Lord liveth ; as they 
taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the 
midst of my people. (Jer. 12:16.) 



g. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them 
which by nature are no gods. (Gal. 4:8.) And I will move them to 
jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to 
anger with a foolish nation. (Dt. 32:21.) 

h. So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of 
your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have com- 
mitted; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and 
a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. (Jer. 44:22.) 

i. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his 
people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) 

j. Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them 
by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that 
goeth forth. (Hos. 6:5.) 

k. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, which the Lord shall 
send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in 
want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until 
he have destroyed thee. (Dt. 28:48.) 

1. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By 
hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall 
see, and shall not perceive. (Mat. 13:14.) 

m. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he 
did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling 
our hearts with food and gladness. (Acts 14:17.) 

n. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift 
witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against 
false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, 
the widow, and the fatherless, a^d that turn aside the stranger from 
his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:5.)

31 The prophets prophesy "falsely, and the 
priests bear rule by their means; and my peo- 
ple lo love ^to have it so: and what will ye do 
in the a7 end thereof? 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 The enemies sent against Judah 4 encourage 
themselves. 9 The prophet lamenteth the 
judgments of God because of their sins. 26 
He calleth the people to mourn for the judg- 
ment on their sins. 

1 O 'ye children of Ben'ja-min, gather your- 
selves to flee out of the midst of Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and blow the trumpet in ~Te-k5'a, and set up 
a sign of 3 fire in 4 Beth-hac'ce-rem: for evil 
appeareth out of the north, and great destruc- 
tion. 

2 I have likened the daughter of Zi'on to a 
comely and delicate woman. 

3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come 
unto her; a they shall pitch their tents against 
her round about; they shall feed every one in 
his place. 

4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and 
let us go up at noon. Woe unto us ! for the day 
goeth away, for the shadows of the evening 
are stretched out. 

5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us 
destroy her palaces. 

6 IPFor thus hath the Lord of hosts said, 
Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against 
Je-ru'sa-lem: this is the city to be visited; 
she is wholly oppression in the midst of her. 

7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so 
she casteth out her wickedness: violence and 
6 spoil is heard in her; before me continually 
is grief and wounds. 

8 Be thou instructed, Je-ru'sa-lem, lest 
my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee 
desolate, a land not inhabited. 

9 If 'Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall 
thoroughly glean the remnant of Is'ra-el as a 
vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer 
into the baskets. 

10 To whom shall I speak, and give warn- 
ing, that they may' hear? behold, their ear 
c is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken : 
behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a 
reproach; they have no delight in it. 

11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the 
Lord ; I am weary with holding in : I will pour 
it out upon the children abroad, and upon the 
assembly of young men together: for even 
the husband with the wife shall be taken, the 
aged with him that is full of days. 

12 And a their houses shall be turned unto 
others, with their fields and wives together: for 



16. The saddest indictment of all, 
for the people to delight in false 
prophets. 



When judgment conies. 



Ch. 6. B. C. 612. 



1. In eh. 6 it is declared to Judah 
that the iuvading army coming upon 
her is the direct result of her sins. 
In vs. 1-5 is recorded the coming of 
the enemy's army. 



2. About 11 miles south of Je- 
rusalem. 



3. The idea of fire is not in the 
original. The meaning is "set up a 
signal." 



4. A beacon station, situated be- 
tween Jerusalem and Tekoa. 



5. Vs. C-S, the siege. 



6. Chastised. 



7. In vs. 9-15 is declared the over, 
throw of Jerusalem and Israel. 



8. In vs. 16-21 the justification of 
the overthrow of Jerusalem and Is- 
rael is declared to be in their stub- 
born resistance. 



9. Go back to the ways of your 
fathers and begin life over, in the 
paths of truth. 



10. That is. the reaction of sin 
upon the sinner. 



11. In vs. 22-3(1 is recorded the 
greatness of the calamity. 



12. Babylonia. 



13. Javelin. 



14. Cover thyself with 'ashes, as 
the sign of mourning. 



I will stretch out my hand upon the inhab- 
itants of the land, saith the Lord. 

13 For from the least of them even unto the 
greatest of them every one is given to c covet- 
ousness; and from the prophet even unto the 
priest every one dealeth falsely. 

14 They have healed also the hurt of the 
daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, 
peace; when there is no peace. 

15 Were they ashamed when they had com- 
mitted abomination? nay, they were not at all 
ashamed, neither could they blush : therefore 
they shall fall among them that fall: at the 
time that I visit them they shall be cast down, 
saith the Lord. 

16 "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the 
ways, and see, and ask for the "old fpaths, 
where is the good way, and walk therein, and 
ye shall find #rest for your souls. But they 
said, We will not walk therein. 

17 Also I set ^watchmen over you, saying, 
Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But 
they said, We will not hearken. 

18 1 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, 
congregation, what is among them. 

19 Hear, earth: behold, I will bring evil 
upon this people, even the fruit *of their 
thoughts, because they have not hearkened 
unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. 

20 ■'To what purpose cometh there to me 
incense from She'ba, and the sweet cane from 
a far country? your burnt offerings are not 
acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, 
lc I will lay a "stumblingblocks before this people, 
and the fathers and the sons together shall fall 
upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall 
perish. 

22 "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people 
cometh from the north "country, and a great 
nation shall be raised from the sides of the 
earth. 

23 They shall lay hold on bow and "spear; 
they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice 
roareth like the sea ; and they ride upon horses, 
set in array as men for war against thee, 
daughter of Zi'on. 

24 We have heard the fame thereof: our 
hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of 
us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 

25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by 
the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear 
is on every side. 

26 II O daughter of my people, gird thee with 
sackcloth, and wallow "thyself in ashes : 'make 
thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter

not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits. 
(Is. 30:10.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth 
month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon came, he, and all his host against Jerusalem, and pitched 
against it; and they built forts against it round about. (II Ks. 25:1.) 

b. Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall 
remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs; neither shall there 
be wailing for them (11). Make a chain; for the land is full of bloody 
crimes, and the city is full of violence. (Ez. 7:11, 23.) 

c. And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children 
of Israel have net hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear 
me, who am of uncircumcised lips? (Ex. 6:12.) Egypt, and Judah, and 
Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the 
utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are 
uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the 
heart. (Jer. 9:26.) Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, 
ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. (Acts 
7:51.) 

d. Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: 
thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt 
plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. (Dt. 28:30.) 

e. Yea, they are gresdy dogs which can never have enough, and they 
are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, 
every one for his gain, from his quarter. (Is. 56:11.) Thus saith the 
Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with 
their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, 
they even prepare war against him. (Mic. 3:5.) 



f. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to 
this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Is. 8:20.) Remem- 
ber ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in 
Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. (Mai. 4:4.) Abra- 
ham saith unto him, Thev have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear 
them. (Luke 16:29.) 

g. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and 
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Mat. 11:29.) 

h. The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, 
what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? (Is. 21:11.) Son of 
man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore 
hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. (Ez. 3:17.) 

i. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be 
filled with their own devices. (Prov. 1:31.) For God shall bring every 
work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or 
whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, behold, I come quickly; and my 
reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 
(Rev. 22:12.) Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat 
no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. (I 
Cor. 8:13.) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto 
me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge 
his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

j. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou 
opened; burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. (Ps. 
40:6.) To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? 
saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of 
fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of 
he-goats. (Is. 1:11.) I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not 
smell in your solemn assemblies. (Amos 5:21.) 

k. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands 
cannot perform their enterprise. (Job 5:12.)

27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress

28 They are all grievous revolters, walking

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Jeremiah is sent to call for true repentance, 
to prevent the Jews' captivity. 17 He threat- 
eneth them for their idolatry. 29 He exhort- 
eth to mourn for their abominations in 
Tophet.

er, as they constitute one discourse, 
delivered at some public gathering. 
The prophet stood at the public gate 
of the temple and delivered his proph- 
ecy, that the people might all hear. 
For the historical setting of this dis- 
course, read ch. 26. The purpose of 
this prophecy was to awaken the peo- 
ple to a conviction of their sins and 
appreciation of their danger, and 
through penitence and humiliation 
to lead them back to God. It was 
when Jer. referred to the ruin of 
Shiloh, declaring that Jerusalem 
might share a like fate, that the peo- 
ple were going to put him to death. 
(Jer. 26:1-9.) 



2. In vs. 1-16 is declared the van- 
ity or utter folly of putting their 
trust in the temple. 



3. Jehovah. 



4. One of the three gates leading 
to the inner court. 



5. Spoken during one of the annu- 
il feasts. 



6. The temple buildings. 



Justice. 



S. Referring to Molech. the na- 
tional god of the Ammonites, to 
whom children were sacrificed by fire. 



9. That is. that the mere standing 
in the temple will free them from all 
guilt. 



10. After the delivery of this 
thought, the priests, prophets, and 
people took Jer. and said, "Thou shalt 
surely die." (Jer. 26.) 



11. In vs. 17-28 hypocritical wor- 
ship of Jehovah, joined to idolatry, 
is condemned.

name, become a 'den of robbers in your eyes? 
Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord. 

12 But go ye now unto my place which was 
in Shiloh, -'where I set my name at the first, 
and see what I did to it for the wickedness of 
my people is'ra-el. 

13 And now, because ye have done all these 
works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, 
rising up early and speaking, but ye heard • 
not; and I '-'called you, but ye answered not; 

14 Therefore '"will I do unto this house, 
which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, 
and unto the place which I gave to you and to 
your fathers, as I have done to Shi'loh. 

15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I 
have cast out all your brethren, even the whole 
seed of E'phra-im. 

16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, 
neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither 
make intercession to me: for I will not hear 
thee. 

17 1f"Seest thou not what they do in the 
cities of Ju'dah and in the streets of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem? 

18 The children gather wood, and the fathers 
kindle the fire, and the women knead their 
dough, to make cakes to the "queen of heaven, 
and to pour out drink offerings unto other 
gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 

19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the 
Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the 
confusion of their own faces? 

20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured 
out upon this place, upon man, and upon 
beast, and upon the trees of the field, and 
upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall 
burn, and shall not be quenched. 

21 H Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el; Put your burnt offerings unto 
your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 

22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor 
commanded them in the day that I brought 
them out of the land of E'gypt, concerning 
burnt offerings or sacrifices: 

23 But this thing commanded I them, say- 
ing, 'Obey my voice, and '"I will be your God, 
and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all 
the ways that I have commanded you, that it 
may be well unto you. 

24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their 
ear, but walked in the "counsels and in the 



as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, 
as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zech. 12:10.) 
Chapter 7. 

a. Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, 
we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto 
Gomorrah. (Is. 1:9.) If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, re- 
turn unto' me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my 
sight, then shalt thou not remove. And thou shalt swear, The Lord 
liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations 
shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. (Jer. 4:1, 2.) 

b. O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the 
morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the op- 
pressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, 
because of the evil of your doings. (Jer. 21:12.) Thus saith the Lord; 
Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of 
the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the 
stranger, the fatherless, nor the wi-low, neither shed innocent blood in 
(his place. (Jer. 22:3.) Concerning this house which thou art in build- 

- ing, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and 
keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my 
wrrd with thee, which I spake unto David thy father. And I will dwell 
among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel: (I 
Ks. 6:12. 13.) 

c. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which 
are round about you, (For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among 
you.) lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and 
dos-roy thee from off the face of the earth. (Dt. 6:14, 15.) And it shall 
be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, 
ai '1 serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day, that 
ve shall surely perish. (Dt. 8:19.) 

d. They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and 
from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath 
given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever. (Jer. 25:5.) If 
thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto me; and if thou 
wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not 
remove. (Jer. 4:1.) Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his 
i 'Hinandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well 
with thee and with thy children after thee. and. that thou mayest pro- 
long thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for 
ever. (Dt. 4:40.) 



e. This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the 
Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. (Jer. 
13:25.) Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith 
the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, 
and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: 
therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. (Jer. 
23:32.) Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet. 
Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this 
people to trust in a lie. (Jer. 28:15.) 

f. Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord 
hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is 
no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. (Hos. 4:1.) 

g. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Ex. 20:3.) 

h. For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they 
came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have 
they done in the midst of mine house. (Ez. 23:39.) 

i. Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: 
but ye have made it a den of thieves. (Luke 19:46.) 

j. Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose 
to cause his name to dwell there: thither shall ye bring all that I com- 
mand you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and 
the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye 
vow unto the Lord. (Dt. 12:11.) 

k. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my 
hand, and no man regarded. (Prov. 1:24.) I also will choose their de- 
lusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, 
none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil 
before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. (Is. 66:4.) 

1. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord 
thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear 
to h ; s commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these 
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am 
the Lord that healeth thee. (Ex. 15:26.) 

m. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: 
for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) 

n. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust; and they walked 
in their own counsels. (Ps. .81:12.)

imagination of their evil heart, and went 
backward, and not forward. 

25 Since the i:: day that_ your fathers came 
forth out of the land of E'gypt unto this day 
I have even sent unto you all my servants the 
prophets, daily rising up early and sending 
them: 

26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor in- 
clined their ear, but ^hardened their neck: 
they did worse than their fathers. 

27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these 
words unto them; but they will not hearken 
to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but 
they will not answer thee. 

28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a 
nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord 
their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is 
"perished, and is cut off from their mouth. 

29 If ir, Cut off thine 16 hair, O Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
cast it away, and take up a lamentation on 
high places; for the Lord hath rejected and 
forsaken the generation of his wrath. 

30 For the children of Ju'dah have done 
evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have 
set their "abominations in the house which is 
called by my name, to pollute it. 

31 And they have built the is high places of 
To'phet, which is in the valley of the son of 
Hin'nom, to ""burn their sons and their daugh- 
ters in the fire; which I commanded them not, 
neither came it into my heart. 

32 If Therefore, behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that it shall no more be called To'- 
phet, nor the valley of the son of Hin'nom, 
but the valley of ^slaughter: for they shall 
bury in To'phet, till there be no 21 place. 

33 And the carcases of this people shall 
be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for 
the beasts of the earth; and none shall "fray 
them away. 

34 Then will I cause to Pcease from the cities 
of Ju'dah, and from the streets of Je-ru'sa-lem, 
the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, 
the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of 
the bride: for ethe land shall be desolate. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 The calamity of the Jews, both dead and 
alive. 4 He upbraideth their foolish and 
shameless impenitency. 13 He sheweth their 
grievous judgment, 18 and beivaileth their 
desperate estate. 

1 'At that time, saith the ? Lord, they shall 
bring out the bones of the kings of Ju'dah, 
and the bones of his princes, and the bones of 
the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and 
the bones of the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, 
out of their graves:

thou nast slain my children and de- 
livered them to cause them to pass 
through the fire for them?" 



20. That is, where they sin, they 
shall die; where they have slaugh- 
tered their own children, in idola- 
trous blasphemy, they shall die.

"whom they have sought, and whom they have 
worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor 
be buried; b they shall be for dung upon the 
face of the earth. 

3 And c death shall be chosen rather than 
life by all the residue of them that remain of 
this evil family, which remain in all the places 
whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

4 If 3 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord; Shall they fall, and not 
arise? shall he turn away, and not return? 

5 Why then is this people of Je-ru'sa-lem 
slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they 
hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 

6 T ^hearkened and heard, but they spake 
not aright: no man repented him of his wicked- 
ness, saying, What have I done? every one 
turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into 
the battle. 

7 Yea, the stork in. the heaven knoweth her 
"appointed times; and c the turtle and the crane 
and the swallow observe the time of their 
coming; but my people know not the judgment 
of the 2 Lord. 

8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law 
of the 2 Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in 
vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in 
vain. 

9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dis- 
mayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the 
word of the "Lord; and what wisdom is in 
them? 

10 Therefore Twill I give their wives unto 
others, and their fields to them that shall in- 
herit them: for every one from the least even 
unto the greatest is given to covetousness, 
sfrom the prophet even unto the priest every 
one dealeth falsely. 

11 For they have healed the hurt ' of the 
daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, 
peace; when there is no peace. 

12 Were they ''ashamed when they had com- 
mitted abomination? nay, they were not at all 
ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore 
shall 'they fall among them that fall : in the 
time of their visitation they shall be cast down, 
saith the Lord.

Lord: there shall be no grapes ^'on the vine, 
nor figs on the 7£ ng tree, and the leaf shall 
fade; and the things that I have given them 
shall pass away from them.

and let us enter into the defenced cities, and 
let us be silent there: for the Lord our God

Chapter 8. 

a. And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah 
had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, 
and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burnt incense 
unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all 
the host of heaven. (II Ks. 23:5.) 

b. Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is 
the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tish- 
bite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel. 
(II Ks. 9:36.) Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the 
earth. (Ps. S3:10.) 

c. Which long for death, hut it cometh not; and dig for it more 
than for hid treasures. (Job 3:21.) And in those days shall men seek 
death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee 
from them. (Rev. 9:6.) 

d. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men 
count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any 
should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Pet. 3:9.) 

e. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but 
Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. (Is. 1:3.) The 
flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, 
and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. (Song 2:12.) 



f. Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: 
thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt 
plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. (Dt. 28:30.) 

g. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and 
they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own 
way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. (Is. 56:11.) For the in- 
iquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and 
was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. (Is. 57:17.) 

h. The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: 
every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not: but 
the unjust knoweth no shame. (Zeph. 3:5.) Why boastest thou thyself 
in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually 
(1). Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in 
the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wicked- 
ness. (Ps. 52:1, 7.) The show of their countenance doth witness against 
them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto 
their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. (Is. 3:9.) 

i. Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumbling- 
blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall 
upon them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish. (Jer. 6:21.) There- 
fore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, 
in one day. (Is. 9:14.) For they shall eat, and not have enough; they 
shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase; because they have left 
off to take heed to the Lord. (Hos. 4:10.) 

j. Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touch- 
ing his vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful 
hill. (Is. 5:1.) He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he 
hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are 
made white. (Joel 1:7.) 

k. And when he saw a fi'g tree in the way, he came to it, and found 
nothing thereon,, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow

hath put us to silence, and given us 'water 
of gall to drink, because we have '"sinned 
against the Lord. 

15 We "looked for peace, but no good came; 
and for a time of health, and behold trouble! 

16 The snorting of his horses was heard 
from Dan : the whole land trembled at the 
sound otf the neighing of his strong ones; for 
they are come, and have devoured the land, 
and all that is in it; the city, and those that 
dwell therein. 

17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cocka- 
trices, among you, which will not be charmed, 
and they shall bite you, saith the Lord. 

18 *~ 7 When I would comfort myself against 
sorrow, my heart is faint in me. 

19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daugh- 
ter of my people because of them that dwell 
in a far country: s Is not the Lord in Zi'on? is 
not her king in her? Why have they pro- 
voked °me to anger with their graven images, 
and with strange vanities? 

20 The harvest is past, the summer is end- 
ed, and we are not saved. 

21 For the hurt of the daughter of my peo- 
ple am I hurt; pI am black; astonishment hath 
taken hold on me. 

22 Is there no balm in ^Gil'e-ad; is there no 
physician there? why then is not the health of 
the daughter of my people recovered? 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 Jeremiah lamenteth the Jews for their mani- 
fold sins, 9 and for their judgment. 17 He 
exhorteth to mourn for their destruction, 23 
and to trust not in themselves, but in God.

eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep 
day and night for the slain of the daughter of 
my people! 

2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging

my people, and go from them! for they be all 
adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

bow for lies: but they are not valiant for 
the truth upon the earth; for they proceed 
from evil to evil, and they a know not me, 
saith the Lord. 

4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, 
and trust ye not in any brother: for every 
brother will utterly supplant, and eveiy neigh- 
bour will walk with slanders. 

5 And they will ^deceive every one his neigh- 
bour, and will not speak the truth: they have 
taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary 
themselves to commit iniquity. 

6 Thine habitation is in the midst of de- 
ceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, 
saith the Lord. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Behold, I will Tnelt'them, and try them; for 
how shall T do for the daughter of my people? 

8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it 
speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his 
neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he 
layeth his wait. 

9 TI 4 Shall I not visit them for these things? 
saith the Lord: shall not c my soul be avenged 
on such a nation as this? 

10 For the mountains will I take up a weep- 
ing and wailing, and for the habitations of the 
wilderness a lamentation, because they are 
d burned up, so that none can pass through 
them; neither can men hear the voice of the 
cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the 
beast are fled; they are gone. 

11 And I will make f Je-ru'sa-lem heaps, and 
a den of r 'dragons; and I will make the cities 
of Jii'dah desolate, without an inhabitant. 

12 If Who ^is the wise man, that may under- 
stand this? and who is he to whom the mouth 
^of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare 
it, for what the land perisheth and is burned 
up like a wilderness, that none passeth 
through? 

13 6 And the Lord saith, Because they ''have 
forsaken my law which I set before them, and 
have not obeyed my voice, neither walked 
therein ; 

14 But have 'walked after the imagination 



on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 
(Mat. 21:19.) 

1. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; 
Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water 
of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth 
into all the land. (Jer. 23:15.) They gave him vinegar to drink mingled 
with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. (Mat. 
27:34.) They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave 
me vinegar to drink. (Ps. 69:21.) Remembering mine affliction and my 
misery, the wormwood and the gall. (Lam. 3:19.) 

m. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we 
have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our 
youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord 
our God. (Jer. 3:25.) We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and 
the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. (Jer. 14:20.) 

h. Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? 
why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked 
for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold 
trouble! (Jer. 14:19.) 

o. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye 
turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them: And then the 
Lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that 
there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye 
perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. (Dt. 
11:16, 17.) Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and 
in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other 
side of the flood, and in Egypt: and serve ye the Lord. (Josh. 24:14.) 
And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf which 
Aaron made. (Ex. 32:35.) Then my anger shall be kindled against them 
in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, 
and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall 
them: so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon 
us, because our God is not among us? (Dt. 31:17.) 

p. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall 
gather blackness. (Joel 2:6.) She is empty, and void, and waste; and the 
heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all 
loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness. (Nah. 2:10.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers. 
And there arose another generation after them, which knew not the 
Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. (Jud. 2:10.) 
Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us: for we desire not the 
knowledge of thy ways. (Job 21:14.) Hear the word of the Lord, ye 
children of Israel: for the Lord bath a controversy with the inhabitants 
of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of 
God in the land. (Hos. 4:1.) And even as they did not like to retain 
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do 
;hose things which are not convenient. (Rom. 1:28.) Awake to right- 



eousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak 
this to your shame. (I Cor. 15:34.) 

b. The good man is perished out of the earth; and there is none 
upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every 
man his brother with' a net. (Mic. 7:2.) 

e. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not 
my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? (9). Shall I not visit for 
these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a 
nation as this? (Jer. 5:9, 29.) Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of 
hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, 
and avenge me of mine enemies. (Is. 1:24.) 

d. How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field 
wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are 
consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last 
end (4). Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden 
my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate 
wilderness. (Jer. 12:4, 10.) If I cause noisome beasts to pass through 
the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may 
pass through because of the beasts. (Ez. 14:15.) 

e. And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for dragons, 
an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. (Jer. 51:37.) 
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the 
glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and 
Sharon: they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our 
God. (Is. 35:2.) 

f. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall un- 
derstand the loving-kindness of the Lord. (Ps. 107:43.) Who among you 
will give ear to this? who will hearken, and hear for the time to come? 
(Is. 42:23.) Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, 
and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the 
just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. (Hos. 
14:9.) 

g. Thus saith the Lord of hosts. Hearken not unto the words of the 
prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a 
vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. (Jer. 
23:16.) 

h. And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth 
the Lord our God all these things unto us? Then shalt thou answer 
them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your 
land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. (Jer. 5:19.) 
Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the 
Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. (Jer. 22:9.) 
But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, 
which I have set before 5'ou, and shall go and serve other gods, and 
worship them. (II Chr. 7:19.) If his children forsake my law, and walk 
not in my judgments. (Ps. W:30.) 

i. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every 
one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon

of their own heart, and after Ba'al-im, which 
their fathers taught them: 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Is'ra-el; Behold, I will 'feed them, 
even this people, with wormwood, and give 
them water of gall to drink. 

16 'I will scatter them also among the 
heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers 
have known: '■and I will send a sword after 
them, till I have consumed them. 

17 H Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider 
ye, and call for the mourning women, that they 
may come; and send for Running women, that 
they may come: 

18 And let them make haste, and take up a 
wailing for us, that our eyes may run down 
with tears, and our eyelids gush out with 
waters. 

19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of 
Zi'on. How are we spoiled! we are greatly 
confounded, because we have forsaken the 
land, because our dwellings have cast us out. 

20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye 
women, and let yo«r ear receive the word of 
his mouth, and teach your daughters "wailing, 
and every one her neighbour lamentation. . 

21 For death is come up into our windows, 
10 and is entered into our palaces, to cut off 
the children from without, and the young men 
from the streets. 

22 Speak, Thus saith the Lord, Even the car- 
cases of men shall fall as dung upon the open 
field, and as the handful after the harvestman, 
and none shall gather them. 

23 1i "Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise 
man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty 
man glory in his might, let not the rich man 
glory in his riches. 

24 But 'let him that glorieth glory in this, 
that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I 
am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, 
judgment, and righteouness, in the earth: '"for 
in these things I delight, saith the Lord. 

25 % "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that "I will punish all them which are circum- 
cised with the uncirctimcised; 

26 E'gypt, and Ju'dah, and E'dom, and the 
children of Am'mon, and Mo'ab, and all that 
are in the utmost "corners, that dwell in the 
wilderness: for all these nations are uncir- 
cumcised, and all the house of Is'ra-el are 
"uncircumcised in the heart. 



7. In vs. 16-21 is recorded the ter- 
rible carnival of death. 



S. Stilled in wailing. 



9. The ravages of death will soon 
overshadow the preparation for 
mourning. See v. 21. 



10. Death shall come in by all ave- 
nues, thus symbolizing the universal- 
ity of his conquests. 



11. In vs. 23-26 is presented the 
only safety open to the people.

ment.

bidden to the Israelites. (Lev. 19:

of your heads, neither shalt tbou mar 
the corners of thy beard."

ecy begun in ch. 7 records in this ch.

CHAPTER 10. 

1 The unequal comparison of God and idols. 
17 The prophet exhorteth to flee from the 
calamity to come. 19 He lamenteth the spoil 
of the tabernacle by foolish pastors. 

1 J Hear ye the word which the 2 Lord speak- 
eth unto you, O house of is'ra-el: 

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn a not the way 
of the 3 heathen, and be not dismayed at the 
signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed 
at them. 

3 For the customs of the people are vain: 
for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the 
work of the hands of the workman, with the 
ax. 

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; 
they fasten it with nails and with hammers, 
that it move not. 

5 They are upright as the palm tree, 6 but 
speak not: they must needs be ''borne, because 
they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for 
''they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them 
to do good. 

6 "Forasmuch as there is none like unto 
thee, O : Lord; thou art great, and thy name 
is great in might. 

7 Who would not fear thee, O King of na- 
tions? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch 
as among all the wise men of the nations, and 
in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto 
thee. 

8 But they are altogether brutish and fool- 
ish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. 

9 Silver spread into plates is brought from 
5 Tar'shish, and gold from ''U'phaz, the work of 
the workman, and of the hands of the founder : 
blue and purple is their clothing: they are all 
the work of cunning men. 

10 But the 2 Lord is the true God, he is e the 
living God, and an everlasting king: at his 
wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations 
shall not be able ^to abide his indignation. 

11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods 
that have not made the heavens and the earth, 
even they shall perish from the earth, and 
from under these heavens. 

12 7 He #hath made the earth by his power, 
he hath established the world by his wisdom, 
and hath stretched out the heavens by his dis- 
cretion. 

13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a 



them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; 
but they did them not. (Jer. 11:8.) Because that, when they knew God, 
they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but because vain 
in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing 
themselves to be wise, they" became fools, And changed the glory of 
the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and 
to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God 
also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, 
to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. (Rom. 1:21-24.) 

j. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them 
tears to drink in great measure. (Ps. 80:5.) He hath filled me with 
bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. (Lam. 3:15.) 

k. Thou shalt burn with fire a third p' -t in the midst of the city, 
when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, 
and smite about it with a knife; and- a third part thou shalt scatter in 
the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. (Ez. 5:2.) 

1. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember 
the name of the Lord our God. (Ps. 20:7.) 

m. He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the 
Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk 
humbly with thy God? (Mic. 6:8.) Who is a God like unto thee, that 
pardoneth iniquity, and passeth ty the transgression of the remnant of 
his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth 
in mercy. (Mic. 7:18.) 

n. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, 
but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath. Tribulation and an- 
guish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also 
of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:8, 9.) Judge not according to the appearance, 
but judge righteous judgment. (Jno. 7:24.) Justice and judgment are 
the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 
(Ps. 89:14.) 

o. And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have 
brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uneircumcised 
hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their 
iniquity: Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my 
covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I re- 
member; and I will remember the land. (Lev. 26:41, 42.) For he is not a 
Jew which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is out- 
ward in the flesh: But he is a Jew which is one inwardly; and circum- 
cision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose 
praise is not of men, but of God. (Rom. 2:28, 29.) 



Chapter 10. 

a. And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nations which I 
cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I 
abhorred them. (Lev. 20:23.) After the doings of the land of Egypt, 
wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of 
Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in 
their ordinances. (Lev. 18:3.) Take heed to thyself that thou be not 
snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before 
thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these 
nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. (Dt. 12:30.) 

b. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they 
see not. (Ps. 115:5.) Wee unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; 
to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with 
gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. (Hab. 
2:19.) Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb 
idols, even as ye were led. (I Cor. 12:2.) 

c. Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, 
and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaded; they are a burden 
to the weary beast (1). They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry 
him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall 
he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor 
save him out of his trouble. (Is. 46:1, 7.) 

d. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know 
that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and 
behold it together. Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: 
an abomination is he that chooseth you. (Is. 41:23, 24.) 

e. Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only 
Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. (I Tim. 6:15.) These 
shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for 
he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him 
are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Rev. 17:14.) 

f. Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy 
sight when once thou art angry? (Ps. 76:7.) 

g. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the 
world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his under- 
standing. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in 
the heavens; and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the 
earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out 
of his treasures. Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder 
is confounded by tbe graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, 
and there is no breath in them. They are yanity, the work of errors;

multitude of waters in the heavens, and he 
causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends 
of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, 
and bringeth forth the wind out of his treas- 
ures. 

14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: 
every founder is confounded by the graven 
image: for his molten image is falsehood, and 
there is no breath in them. 

15 They are vanity, 7, and the work of ? errors : 
in the time of their visitation they shall per- 
ish. 

16 The 'portion of Ja'cob is not like them: 
for he is the former of all things; and is'ra-el 
is the rod of his inheritance: The "Lord of 
hosts is his name. 

17 r Gather up thy wares out of the land, 

inhabitant of the fortress. 

18 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
sling out the inhabitants of the land at this 
once, and will distress them, that they may 
nnd it so. 

19 r Woe is me for my hurt ! my wound is 
grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, 
and -'T must bear it. 

• 20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords 
are broken: my children are gone forth of me, 
and they are not: there is none to stretch 
forth my tent any more, and to set up my cur- 
tains. 

21 For the pastors are become brutish, and 
have not sought the "Lord: therefore they 
shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be 
scattered. 

22 Behold, the noise of the "bruit is come, 
and a great commotion out of the north coun- 
try, to make the cities of Ju'dah desolate, and 
a den of dragons. 

23 *~ Lord, I know that the '-"way of man 
is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh 
to direct his steps. 

24 Lord, correct me, 7 but with judgment; 
not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to 
nothing. 

25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that 
"'know thee not, and upon the families that 
call not on thy name: for they have eaten up 
Ja'cob, and devoured him, and consumed him, 
and have made his habitation desolate.

Mil Jeremiah. 

1 2 The word that came to Jer-e-mT'ah from 
the Lord, saying, 

2 2 Hear ye the words of this 'covenant, and 
speak unto the men of Ju'dah, and to the in- 
habitants of Je-ru'sa-lem; 

3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God of is'ra-el; "Cursed a be the man that 
obeyeth not the words of this covenant, 

4 Which I commanded your fathers in the 
day that I brought them forth out of the land 
of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, 6 Obey 
my voice, and do them, according to all which 
I command you : so shall ye be my people, and 
I will be your God: 

5 That I may perform the c oath which I 
have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a 
land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this 
day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O 
Lord. 

6 Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all 
these 5 words in the cities of Ju'dah, and in the 
streets of Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, Hear ye the 
words of this covenant, d and do them. 

7 For I earnestly protested unto your fa- 
thers in the day that I brought them up out of 
the land of E'jjypt, even unto this day, rising 
early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 

8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their 
ear, but walked every one in the imagination 
of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon 
them all the words of this covenant, which I 
commanded them to do; but they did them 
not. 

9 7 And the Lord said unto me, C A conspiracy 
is found among the men of Ju'dah, and among 
the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10 They are turned back to ''the iniquities 
of their forefathers, which refused to hear my 
words; and they went after other gods to serve 
them: the house of Is'ra-el and the house of 
Ju'dah have broken my covenant which I made 
with their fathers. 

11 r Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, 
I will bring evil upon them, which they shall 
not be able to escape; and ^though they shall 
cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. 

12 Then shall the cities of Ju'dah and in- 
habitants of Je-ru'sa-lem go, and cry unto the 
gods unto whom they offer incense: but they 



in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The Portion of Jacob 
is not like them: for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod 
of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name. (Jer. 51:15-19.) 
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if 
thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou 
knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the 
foundations thereof fastened, or who laid the corner stone thereof, 
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted 
for joy? (Job 38:4-7.) Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters 
that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: for 
he commanded, and they were created. (Ps. 148:4, 5.) 

h. Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because 
of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her 
King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven 
images, and with strange vanities? (Jer. 8:19.) Behold, ye are of noth- 
ing, and vour work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth vou. 
(Is. 41:24.) 

i. The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou 
maintainest my lot. (Ps. 16:5.) My flesh and my heart faileth: but God 
is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. (Ps. 73:26.) Thou 
art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words. (Ps. 
119:57.) The Lord is mv portion, saith mv soul; therefore will I hope in 
him. (Lam. 3:24.) 

j. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned 
against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: 
he will brins me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. 
(Mic. 7:9.) 

k. The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the 
tongue, is from the Lord. (Prov. 16:1.) Mans goings are of the Lord: 
how can a man then understand his own way? (Prov. 20:24.) Not that 
we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our 
sufficiency is of God. (II Cor. 3:5.) But when they deliver you up, take 
no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that 
same hour what ye shall speak. (Mat. 10:19.) 

1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy 
hot displeasure. (Ps. 38:1.) 

m. Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the 
place of him that knoweth not God. (Job 18:21.) Not in the lust of 
concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God. (I Thess. 4:5.) 
Inflaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that 
obev not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thess. 1:8.) 



Chapter 11. 

a. Cursed be he that eonfirmeth not all the words of this law to do 
them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 27:26.) For as many 
as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, 
Cursed is every one that eontinueth not in all things which are written 
in the book of the law to do them. (Gal. 3:10.) 

b. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do 
them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield 
her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. (Lev. 
26:3, 4.) Then shalt. thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the 
statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning 
Israel: be strong, and of good courage: dread not. nor be dismayed. (I 
Chr. 22:13.) My son, forget not my law: but let thine heart keep my 
commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall he 
well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. (Is. 3:10.) 

e. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judg- 
ments, and keep and do them, that the Lord tby Gcd shall keep unto thee 
the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers. (Dt. 7:12.) 
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac. (Ps. 
105:9.) 

d. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. (Jno. 
13:17.) For not the hearers of the law are just before God. but the 
doers of the law shall be justified. (Rom. 2:13.) But be ye doers of 
the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (22). But 
whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and eontinueth therein, he 
being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shal'. be 
blessed in his deed. (Js. 1:22, 25.) 

e. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a 
roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls: they have 
taken the treasure and precious things: they have made her many 
widows in the midst thereof. (Ez. 22:25.) 

f. But I said unto their children in the wilderness. Walk ye not 
in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor de- 
file yourselves with their idols: I am the Lord your God: walk in my 
statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them. (Ez. 20:18. 19.) Te shall 
observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye 
shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. (Dt. 5:32.) 

g. They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, 
but he answered them not. (Ps. 18:41.) Then shall they call upon me. 
but I will not answer: they shall seek me early, but they shall not find 
me. (Prov. 1:28.) And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide

shall not save them at all in the time of their 
trouble. 

13 For according to the number of thy cities 
were thy gods, Ju'dah; and according to 
the number of the streets of Je-ru'sa-lem have 
ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even 
altars to burn incense unto Ba'al. 

14 'Therefore ''pray mot thou for this people, 
neither lift up a cry -"or prayer for them: for 
I will not hear them in the time that they cry 
unto me for their trouble. 

15 What hath my beloved to do in mine 
house, seeing she hath wrought 'lewdness with 
many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? 
when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. 

16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive 
tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise 
of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, 
and the branches of it are broken. 

17 For the Lord of hosts, ■'that planted 
thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for 
the evil of the house of Is'ra-el and of the 
house of Ju'dah, which they have done against 
themselves to provoke me to anger in offering 
incense unto Ba'al. 

18 If '"And the Lord l 'hath given me knowl- 
edge of it, and I know it : then thou shewedst 
me their doings. 

19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is 
brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that 
they had devised devices against me, saying, 
Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, 
and let us cut him off from the land of the 
living, that his name may be no more remem- 
bered. 

20 But, Lord of hosts, 'that judgest right- 
eously, that '"triest the reins and the heart, 
let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto 
thee have I revealed my cause. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord of the 
men of An'a-thoth, that seek thy life, saying, 
Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that 
thou die not by our hand: 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Behold, I will "punish them: the young "men 
shall die by the sword; their sons and their 
daughters shall die by famine : 

23 And there shall be no remnant of them: 



S. In vs. 14-17 is detailed the ca- 
lamity which came upon the people 
as a result of breaking the covenant. 



9. Because they had passed beyond 
the point of limit of intercessory 
prayer. 



10. In vs. 18-23 is recorded the 
conspiracy of the people of Anathoth. 



Ch. 12. B. C. 608. 



1. In ch. 12 is Jer.'s complaint of 
the prosperity of the wicked compared 
with his own hard lot. Jehovah an- 
swers him that his own punishment is 
yet to increase, even at the hands 
of his own people, although the se- 
verest punishment would be visited on 
the faithless people. (Jer. 7:13. 14.) 
Mercy is still to be extended to Is- 
rael, if she will repent. 



Undisturbed, free from punish- 



3. In v. 5 Jehovah tells Jer. that 
his present afflictions, compared with 
those which are to come, are like run- 
ning a race with footmen compared 
to a race with horsemen. 



4. Vs. 7-13 are the language of Je- 
hovah, describing with great pathos 
the punishment of Israel. 



for I will bring evil upon the men of An'a- 
thoth, even the year of their visitation. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 Jeremiah, complaining of the wicked's pros- 
perity, by faith seeth their ruin. 5 God ad- 
monisheth him of his brethren's treachery 
against him, 7 and lamenteth his heritage. 
14 He promiseth to the penitent return from 
captivity. 

1 'Righteous a art thou, Lord, when I plead 
with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy 
judgments: Wherefore doth the 6 way of the 
wicked prosper? wherefore are all they = happy 
that deal very treacherously? 

2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have 
taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth 
fruit: c thou art near in their mouth, and far 
from their reins. 

3 But thou, Lord, d knowest me: thou hast 
seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: 
pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and 
prepare them for the day of slaughter. 

4 How long shall the land mourn, and the 
herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness 
of them that dwell therein? the beasts are con- 
sumed, and the birds; because they said, He 
shall not see our last end. 

5 IfTf thou hast run with the footmen, and 
they have wearied thee, then how canst thou 
contend with horses? and if in the land of 
peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied 
thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of 
Jor'dan? 

6 For even thy brethren, and the house of 
thy father, even they have dealt treacherously 
with thee; yea, they have called a multitude 
after thee: believe them not, though they 
speak fair words unto thee. 

7 IPI have forsaken mine house, I have left 
mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved 
of my soul into the hand of her enemies. 

8 Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the 
forest; it crieth out against me: therefore 
'have I hated it. 

9 Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled 
bird, the birds round about are against her; 



mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: 
your hands are full of blood. (Is. 1:15.) When they fast, I will not 
hear their cry: and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I 
will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by 
the famine, and by the pestilence. (Jer. 14:12.) 

h. Xow therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against 
them, and that I may consume them, and I will make of thee a great 
nation. (Ex. 32:10.) If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not 
unto death, he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin 
not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall 
pray for it. (I Jno. 5:16.) 

i. Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and 
hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every 
one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. (Ez. 16:25.) Unto the 
pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving 
is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. (Tit. 
1:15.) 

j. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 
(Js. 5:2.) 

k. Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul 
come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I be- 
seech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down. 
Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into 
the hand of Saul? And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up. (I 
Sam. 23:11. 12.) And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, say- 
ing. Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are 
come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man 
of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once 
nor twice. (II Ks. 6:9, 10.) He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, 
seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house 
of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? 
But turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. (Ez. 
8:6.) 

I. The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to 
my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. (Ps. 
7:8.) Before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteous- 
ness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. (Ps. 98:9.) 
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 
(Jno. 7:24.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are 
judgment: a God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is he. 
(Dt. 32:4.) Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy 
and truth shall go before thy face. (Ps. 89:14.) 

m. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on bis countenance, or 
on the height of his stature: because I have refused him: for the LORD 
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but 
the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) Oh let the wickedness of 



the wicked come to an end; but establish the just; for the righteous God 
trieth the hearts and reins. (Ps. 7:9.) 

n. But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith 
the Lord; and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall de- 
vour all things round about it. (Jer. 21:14.) 

o. Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who 
slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, 
and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man. or him that 
stoopeth for age; he gave them all into his hand. (II Chr. 36:17.) There- 
fore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood 
by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their chil- 
dren, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young 
men be slain by the sword in battle. (Jer. 18:21.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the 
wicked. (Ps. 129:4.) O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we 
remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our 
trespasses; for we cannot stand before thee because of this. (Ezra 9:15.) 
See ch. 11:20. 

b. And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wicked- 
ness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. (Mai. 
3:15.) Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: 
for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judg- 
ment proceedeth. (Hab. 1:4.) As a cage is full of birds, so are their 
houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 
They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the 
wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they 
prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. (Jer. 5:27, 28.) 

c. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me 
with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed 
their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the 
precept of men. (Is. 29:13.) And they come unto thee as the people 
cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, 
but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, 
but their heart goeth after their covetousness. (Ez. 33:31.) They profess 
that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and 
disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. (Tit. 1:16.) 

d. And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God. 
knowest thy servant. (II Sam. 7:20.) 

e. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his 
people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) All their wickedness 
is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings 
I will drive them out of mine house. I will love them no more: all their 
princes are revolters. (Hos. 9:15.) The Lord God hath sworn by him- 
self, saith. the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob,

come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, 
come to devour. 

10 .Many 5 pastors have destroyed my vine- 
yard, 'they have trodden my portion under 
foot, they have made my pleasant portion a 
desolate wilderness. 

11 They have made it desolate, and being 
desolate it mourn eth unto me; the whole land 
is made desolate, because "no man layeth it to 
heart. 

12 The spoilers are come upon all high 
places through the wilderness: for the sword 
of the Lord ''shall devour from the one end of 
the land even to the other end of the land: 
no flesh shall have peace. 

13 They 'have sowm wheat, but shall reap 
thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but 
shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of 
your revenues because of the fierce ■'anger of 
the Lord. 

14 r "Thus saith the Lord against all mine 
evil neighbours, that ''touch the Inheritance 
which I have caused my people Is'ra-el to in- 
herit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their 
land, and pluck out the house of Ju'dah from 
among them. 

15 And it shall come to pass, after that I 
have plucked them out I will return, and have 
compassion on them, and 'will bring them 
again, every man to his heritage, and every 
man to his land. 

16 And it shall come to pass, if they will 
diligently learn the ways of my people, to 
swear by my name, The Lord liveth; as they 
taught my people to swear by Ba'al; then 
shall they be '"built in the midst of my people. 

17 But if they will not "obey, I will utterly 
pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 In the type of a linen girdle, hidden at Eu- 
phrates, God prefigureth the destruction of 
his people. 12 Under the parable of the 
bottles filled with wine he foretelleth their 
drunkenness in misery. 
1 'Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get 

thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, 

and put 2 it not in water. 



5. Shepherds. The word "pastor." 
meaning shepherds, is not used in 
any other portion of the Old Testa- 
ment than Jer. 



6. In ts. 14-17 are promised par- 
don and restoration, conditioned upon 
the people's repentance. 



7. Viz.. Philistines. Ammonites, 
Moabites, Syrians, Edomites, etc. 



Ch. 13. B. C. 602. 



1. Ch. 13 is a complete whole and 
has been called the symbolical proph- 
ecy, as it is couched in figures and 
symbols which existed only in the 
prophet's mind. 



2. Do not wash it. 



The future scene of their cap- 



tivity. 



4. Typifying the prisons in which 
they are to be cast. 



5. Time enough to become marred 
or mildewed. For answer to this fig- 
ure, see v. 9. 



6. Fulfilled in the loss of temporal 
greatness. 



7. It is interesting to observe the 
many expressions used to explain the 
relation between Jehovah and his peo- 
ple, as if the language were almost 
too sterile to convey the meaning. 



8. Which comes from the wine of 
God's wrath. 



2 So I got a girdle according to the word of 
the Lord, and put it on my loins. 

3 And the word of the Lord came unto me 
the second time, saying, 

4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which 
is upon thy loins, and arise, go to "Eu-phra'tes, 
and hide it there in a 4 hole of the rock. 

5 So I went, and hid it by Eu-phra'tes, as 
the Lord commanded me. 

6 And it came to pass after 5 many days, that 
the Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Eu-phra'- 
tes, and take the girdle from thence, which I 
commanded thee to hide there. 

7 Then I went to Eu-phra'te§, and digged, 
and took the girdle from the place where I 
had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, 
it was profitable for nothing. 

8 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

9 Thus saith the Lord, After this manner 
"will I r mar the pride of Ju'dah, and the great 
pride of Je-ru'sa-lern. 

10 This evil people, which ^refuse to hear 
my words, which walk in the imagination of 
their heart, and walk after other gods, to 
serve them, and to worship them, shall even 
be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. 

11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of 
a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the 
whole house of Is'ra-el and the whole house 
of Ju'dah, saith the Lord; that e they might be 
unto me for a 7 people, and T for a name, and for 
a T p raise, and for a 7 glory: but they would not 
hear. 

12 If Therefore thou shalt speak unto them 
this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Is'ra-el, 
Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and 
they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly 
know that every bottle shall be filled with 
wine? 

13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabi- 
tants of this land, even the kings that sit upon 
Da'vid's throne, and the priests, and the proph- 
ets, and all the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, 
with 'drunkenness. 

14 And d I will dash them one against an- 
other, even the fathers and the sons together, 



and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city, with all that 
is therein. (Amos 6:8.) 

f. And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: 
I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break 
down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down. (Is. 5:5.) The 
people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries 
have trodden down thy sanctuary. (Is. 63:18.) 

g. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and 
the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he 
knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. (Is. 42:25.) 

h. thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? 
Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. (Jer. 47:6.) The 
sword of the Lord is filled with blood; it is made fat with fatness, and 
with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: 
for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land 
of Idumea. (Is. 34:6.) And though they go into captivity before their 
enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and 
I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. (Amos 9:4.) 

i. I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, 
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and 
cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your 
enemies shall eat it. (Lev. 26:16.) Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not 
reap: thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with 
oil: and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine. (Mic. 6:15.) Ye have 
sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye 
drink, but ye are not filled with drink: ye clothe you, but there is none 
warm; and he that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag 
with holes. (Hag. 1:6.) 

j. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the 
cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by 
his fierce anger. (Jer. 4:26.) And the peaceable habitations are cut down 
because of the fierce anger of the Lord. He hath forsaken his covert, 
as the lion, for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the 
oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. (Jer. 25:37, 38.) 

k. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me 
unto the nations which spoiled you; for he that toucheth you toucheth 
the apple of his eye. (Zech. 2:8.) 

1. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and 
they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant 
vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, 
and eat the fruit of them. (Amos 9:14.) 

m. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, 
Jesus Christ himself being" the chief corner stone. (Eph. 2:20.) Ye also, 
as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to 
offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by. Jpsus Christ. (I Pet. 
J:j.) Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day 



of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the 
earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and 
things wherein there is no profit. (Jer. 16:19.) 

n. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish: 
yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. (Is. 60:12.) Ask of me, and 
I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost 
parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a 
rod cf iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be 
wise now therefore, ye kings; be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, 
lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled 
but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. (Ps. 
2:S-12.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Thou hast made us as the off-scouring and refuse in the midst of 
the people. (Lam. 3:45.) And I will break the pride of your power: and 
I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. (Lev. 26:19.) 
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and 
for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, 
and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone 
shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be 
upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted 
up, and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, 
that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon 
all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And 
upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the 
ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of 
man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made 
low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. (Is. 2:10-17.) 

b. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose against 
his people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) Now, if thou shalt 
kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the 
fame of thee will speak, saying. (Num. 14:15.) 

c. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: 
for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) And it shall be to me a name of 
joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which 
shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and 
tremble for all the goodness, and for all the prosperity, that I procure 
unto it. (Jer. 33:9.) 

d. And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry: and he 
shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not he satisfied: they shall 
eat every man the flesh of his own arm: Manasseh, Ephraim: and 
Fphraim, Manassen: and they together shall be against Judah. For all 
this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

saith the Lord: I will p not pity, nor spare, 
nor have mercy, but destroy them. 

15 IT Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: 
for the Lord hath spoken. 

16 fGive glory to the Lord your God, before 
he cause ^darkness, and before your feet stum- 
ble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye 
look for light, ft he turn it into the shadow of 
death, and make it gross darkness. 

17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall 
weep in secret places for your pride; and mine 
eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, 
because the Lord's flock is carried away cap- 
tive. 

18 Say unto the king and to the queen, 
Humble yourselves, sit down: for your princi- 
palities shall come down, even the crown of 
your glory. 

19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, 
and none shall open them: Ju'dah shall be 
carried away captive 'all of it, it shall be 
wholly carried away captive. 

20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that 
come ''from the north: where is the flock that 
was given thee, thy beautiful flock? 

21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish 
thee? for thou hast taught them to be cap- 
tains, and as chief over thee: shall not sor- 
rows take thee, as a woman in travail? 

22 If And if thou say in thine heart, Where- 
fore come these things upon me? For the 
greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts dis- 
covered, and thy heels made bare. 

23 Can the E-thl-o'pI-an change ■'his skin, 
or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do 
good, that are accustomed to do evil. 

24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stub- 
ble that passeth away by the wind of the wil- 
derness. 

25 in This 7 'is thy lot, the portion of thy meas- 
ures from me, saith the Lord; because thou 
hast 'forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 

26 Therefore '"will I discover thy skirts 
upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.

neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and

4S:4 — "Moab is destroyed: her little 
ones have caused a cry to be heard."

thine abominations "on the hills in the fields. 
Woe unto thee, O Je-ru'sa-lem! wilt thou not 
be made clean? when shall it once be? 

CHAPTER 14. 

1 The grievous famine 7 causeth Jeremiah to 
pray. 10 The Lord will not be entreated 
for the people. 13 Lying prophets are no 
excuse for them. 17 Jeremiah is moved to 
complain for them. 

1 The 'word of the Lord that 2 came to Jer- 
e-mi'ah concerning the dearth. 

2 Ju'dah mourneth, and the 3 gates a thereof 
languish; they are black unto the ground; and 
the cry of Je-ru'sa-lem is gone up. 

3 And their nobles have sent their "little 
ones to the waters: they came to the r 'pits, and 
found no water; they returned with their ves- 
sels empty; they were & ashamed and confound- 
ed, and covered their heads. 

4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was 
no rain in the earth, the plowmen were 
ashamed, they covered their heads. 

5 Yea, the hind "also calved in the field, 
and forsook it, because there was no grass. 

6 And the wild asses did stand in the high 
places, they snuffed up the wind like Mragons; 
their eyes did fail, because there was no grass. 

7 1f s O Lord, though our iniquities testify 
against us, do thou it for thy name's d sake: 
for our backslidings are many; we have sinned 
against thee. 

8 O the hope of is'ra-el, the "saviour there- 
of in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be 
as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring 
man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? 

9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, 
as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, 
O Lord, fart in the midst of us, and we are 
called by thy name; leave us not. 

10 If "Thus saith the Lord unto this people, 
Thus have they loved to wander, they have not 
refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth 
not accept them; "he will now remember their 
iniquity, and visit their sins. 



(Is. 9:20, 21.)- And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons, and 
the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his 
friend, in the siege and straitness wherewith their enemies, and they 
that seek their lives, shall straiten them. Then shalt thou break the 
bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee, And shalt say unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Even so will I break this people, and 
this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole 
again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury. 
(Jer. 19:9-11.) 

e. The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord 
and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that 
are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out 
his name from under heaven. (Dt. 29:20.) 

f. And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to 
the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now 
what thou hast done; hide it not from me. (Josh. 7:19.) 

g. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and dark- 
ness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness. (Is. 
8:22.) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that 
I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in 
the clear day: And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your 
songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and 
baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an 
only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. (Amos 8:9, 10.) 

h. Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake 
us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk 
in darkness. (Is. 59:9.) Though thou hast sore broken us in the place 
of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. (Ps. 44:19.) 

i. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries 
unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 
(Lev. 26:31.) 

j. Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with 
a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. (Prov. 27:22.) 
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more. 
The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. (Is. 1:5.) And again 
I say unto you. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a 
needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (Mat. 
19:24.) 

k. This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage 
appointed unto him by God. (Job 20:29.) Upon the wicked he shall 
rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall 
be the portion of their cup. (Ps. 11:6.) Tribulation and anguish, upon 
every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the 
Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good 
shall be repaid. (Prov. 13:21.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for 
all his wavs are judgment: a God of truth, and without iniquity, just 
and right is he. (Dt. 32:4.) 

1. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that for- 



get God. (Ps. 9:17.) They forgat God their Saviour, which had cZone 
great things in Egypt. Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and ter- 
rible things by the Red sea. (Ps. 106:21, 22.) Can a maid forget her 
ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me 
days without number. (Jer. 2:32.) 

m. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all 
that honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness; yea, 
she sigheth, and turneth backward. (Lam. 1:8.) And now will I discover 
her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out 
of mine hand. (Hos. 2:10.) 

n. Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith 
the Lord, which have burnt incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed 
me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into 
their bosom. (Is. 65:7.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. And her gates shall lament and mourn: and she, being desolate, 
shall sit upon the ground. (Is. 3:26.) And the men that died not were 
smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven. (I 
Sam. 5:12.) 

b. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after 
my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that 
wish me evil. (Ps. 40:14.) And David went up by the ascent of mount 
Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered; and he went 
barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his 
head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. (II Sam. 15:30.) 

c. For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins 
testify against us; for our transgressions are with us: and as for our 
iniquities, we know them. (Is. 59:12.) And the pride of Israel doth 
testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their in- 
iquity; Judah also shall fall with them. (Hos. 5:5.) 

d. For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is 
great. (Ps. 25:11.) Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of 
thy name; and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's 
sake. (Ps. 79:9.) Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy 
righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. (Ps. 143:11.) 

e. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 
(Ps. 46:1.) For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy 
name's sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they 
have laid privily for me; for thou art my strength. (Ps. 31:3, 4.) The 
Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the 
strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) 

f. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their 
God. (Ex. 29:45.) And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my 
soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be 
your God, and ye shall be my people. (Lev. 26:11, 12.) 

g. They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat 
it; but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, 
and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. (Hos. 8:13.)

Ch. 15 



JEREMIAH 



B. C. 601 



11 Then said the Lord unto me, ''Pray not 
for this people for their good. 

12 When they fast, I will 'not hear their 
cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an 
oblation, I will not accept them: but I will 
consume them by the sword, and by the fam- 
ine, and by the pestilence. 

13 If Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! behold, the 
prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the 
sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will 
give you assured peace in this place. 

14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets 
prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, 
neither have I commanded them, neither spake 
unto them: they prophesy unto you a false 
vision and divination, and a thing of nought, 
and the deceit of their heart. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning 
the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I 
sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine 
shall not be in this land; By sword and fam- 
ine shall ■'those prophets be consumed. 

16 And the people to whom they prophesy 
shall be cast out in the streets of Je-ru'sa-lem 
because of the famine and the sword; and they 
shall have none to bury them, them, their 
wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for 
I will pour their wickedness upon them. 

17 If Therefore thou shalt say this word unto 
them; Let mine eyes run down with tears 
night and day, and let them not cease: for the 
virgin daughter of my people is broken with a 
great breach, with a very grievous blow. 

18 If I go forth into the field, then behold 
the slain with the sword! and if I enter into 
the city, then behold them that are sick with 
famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest 
go about into a land that they know not. 

19 Hast thou utterly rejected Ju'dah? hath 
thy soul lothed Zi'on? why hast thou smitten 
us, and there is no healing for us? we looked 
for peace, and there is no good; and for the 
time of healing, and behold trouble! 

20 We '^'acknowledge, O Lord, our wicked- 
ness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for ! we 
have sinned against thee. 

21 Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do 
not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remem- 
ber, break not thy covenant with us. 

22 Are there any among the vanities of the 
Gen'tiles that can cause rain? or can the 
heavens give showers? art not thou he, Lord 
our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: 
for thou hast made all these things. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 The utter rejection and manifold judgments 
of the Jews. 10 Jeremiah, complaining of 
their spite, receiveth a promise for himself, 
12 and a threatening for them. 15 He pray- 
eth. 

1 J Then said the Lord unto me, Though 
a M6'ses and : Sam'u-el stood before me, yet my 
mind could not be toward this people: cast 
them out of my sight, and let them go forth. 



Ch. 15. B. C. 601. 



1. Ch. 15 is an unfortunate ch. 
division, as the discourse is directly 
continued from ch. i4. In the last 
verses of that ch. the prophet delivers 
an urgent, importunate prayer and in 
the first nine verses of ch. 15 is re- 
corded an emphatic refusal. 



2. The sin of the people has be- 
come so great that not even such holy 
men as Moses and Samuel, who had 
so often saved the people, could do 
any good now. 



3. Each to his own faith, accord- 
lg to his sins, either to death, svford, 
jmine or captivity. 



4. Punishments. 



5. They have rejected Jer., their 
best friend and most influential one 
with God, who now will pity them? 
How like their descendants, when 
they rejected and crucified Christ. 



6. Rejected. 



7. That is, Jehovah has so often 
spared them, and seen no repentance 
on their part in response to his for- 
bearance, that now there can be no 
further delay. 



8. That is, not one of her seven 
sons now remained. 



9. A symbol of violence and ca- 
lamity. 



10. In vs. 10-21 the prophet is set 
right and comforted. 



11. An expression showing the 
burden on the heart of Jer., similar 
to the language of Job. in Job 3:3 — 
"Let the day perish wherein I was 
born and the night in which it was 
said, There is a man child conceived." 



12. A prophet of evil omen. 



13. Can one break iron? even 
iron and brass from the north? (R. V.) 



14. Not a cry for vindictive re- 
venge, but a prayer for vindication 
as a prophet of God, because the hon- 
or of God's cause is bound up in his 
(as God's representative) success or 
failure. 



2 And it shall come to pass, if they say 
unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then 
thou shalt tell 3 them, Thus saith the Lord; 
Such as are for death, to death; and such as 
are for the sword, to the sword; and such as 
are for the famine, to the famine; and such 
as are for the captivity, to the captivity. 

3 And I will ^appoint over them four "kinds, 
saith the Lord : the sword to slay, and the dogs 
to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the 
beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy. 

4 And I will cause them to be removed into 
all kingdoms of the earth, because of Ma-nas'- 
seh the son of Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah, for 
that which he did in Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5 For who 5 shall have pity upon thee, O Je- 
ru'sa-lem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who 
shall go aside to ask how thou doest? 

6 Thou c hast c forsaken me, saith the Lord, 
thou art gone backward: therefore will I 
stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy 
thee; I am weary with 'repenting. 

7 And I will fan them with a fan in the 
gates of the land; I will bereave them of chil- 
dren, I will destroy my people, since they re~ 
turn not from their ways. 

8 Their widows are increased to me above 
the sand of the seas: I have brought upon 
them against the mother of the young men a 
spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall 
upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. 

9 She that hath borne seven s languisheth : 
she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone 
down while it was 9 yet day: she hath been 
ashamed and confounded: and the residue of 
them will I deliver to the sword before their 
enemies, saith the Lord. 

10 f I0 Woe is "me, my mother, that thou hast 
borne me a man of "strife and a man of con- 
tention to the whole earth! I have neither lent 
on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; 
yet every one of them doth curse me. 

11 The Lord said, Verily it shall be well 
with thy remnant; verily d I will cause the 
enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil 
and in the time of affliction. 

12 ''Shall iron break the northern iron and 
the steel? 

13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I 
give to the spoil without price, and that for all 
thy sins, even in all thy borders. 

14 And I will make thee to pass with thine 
enemies into a land which thou knowest not: 
for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall 
burn upon you. 

15 If O Lord, thou knowest: remember me, 
and visit me, and "revenge me of my persecu- 
tors; take me not away in thy longsuff ering : 
know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 

16 Thy words were found, and I did eat 
them; and thy word was unto me the joy and 
rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by 
thy name, O Lord God of hosts. 



h. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against 
them, and that I may consume them, and I will make of thee a great 
nation. (Ex. 32:10.) 

i. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall 
seek me early, but they shall not find me. (Prov. 1:28.) And when ye 
spread forth your hands, I will hide mine, eyes from you; yea, when ye 
make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. (Is. 
1:15.) Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, 
which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto 
me, I will not hearken unto them. (Jer. 11:11.) 

j. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; 
Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the 
water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone 
forth into all the land. (Jer. 23:15.) 

k. And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my heaviness; and, 
having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and 
spread out my hands unto the Lord my God, And said, O my God, I 
am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our in- 
iquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto 
the heavens. (Ezra 9:5, G.) 

1. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our 
princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. (Dan. 
9:8.) I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not 
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou 



forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Ps. 32:5.) If we confess our 
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us cur sins, and to cleanse us 
from all unrighteousness. (I Jno. 1:9.) 
Chapter 15. 

a. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them 
that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered 
them. (Ps. 99:6.) And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for 
a burnt offering wholly unto the Lord; and Samuel cried unto the Lord 
for Israel: and the Lord heard him. (I Sam. 7:9.) 

b. I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, 
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and 
cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your 
enemies shall eat it. (Lev. 26:16.) 

c. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even 
the fruit of their thoughts, because they. have not hearkened unto my 
words, nor to my law, but rejected it. (Jer. 6:19.) The wise men are 
ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word 
of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them? (Jer. 8:9.) 

d. Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning 
Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying, Take him, 
and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as 
he shall say unto thee. (Jer. 39:11, 12.) And now, behold, I loose thee 
this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good 
unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto 



Ch. 16

H 



17 C I sat not in the assembly of the mock- 
ers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy 
hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. 

18 Why is my ''pain perpetual, and my 
wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? 
wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and 
as waters that fail? 

19 If Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou 
return, then will I bring thee again, and thou 
shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth 
the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as 
my mouth: let them return unto thee; but 
return not thou unto them. 

20 And I will make thee unto this people a 
fenced brasen wall : and they shall fight against 
thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: 
for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver 
thee, saith the Lord. 

21 And I will ^deliver thee out of the hand 
of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of 
the hand of the terrible. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 The prophet, under the types of abstaining 
from marriage, from houses of mourning and 
feasting, foresheweth the utter ruin of the 
Jeivs, 10 because they were worse than their 
fathers. 

1 2 The word of the Lord came also unto me, 
saying, 

2 Thou shalt not take 2 thee a wife, neither 
shalt thou have sons or daughters in 3 this 
place. 

3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the 
sons and concerning the daughters that are 
born in this place, and concerning their 
mothers that bare them, and concerning their 
fathers that begat them in this land; 

4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they 
shall not be lamented; neither shall they be 
buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face 
of the earth: and they shall be consumed by 
the sword, and by famine; and their carcases 
shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for 
the beasts of the earth. 

5 For thus saith 'the Lord, Enter not into 
the house of mourning, neither go to lament 
nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my 
peace from this people, saith the Lord, even 
lovingkindness and mercies. 

6 Both the great and the small shall die in 
this land: they shall not be buried, neither 
shall men lament for them, nor cut 4 themselves, 
nor make themselves bald for them: 

7 Neither shall men tear themselves for 
them in mourning, to comfort them for the 
dead; neither shall men give them the cup of 
consolation to drink for their father or for 
their mother. 



Ch. 16. B. C. 601. 



1. Iu ch. 16 is continued the proph- 
ecy concerning the cause and judg- 
ments now impending. 



2. A command given because of 
the great catastrophe which was be- 
fore, the. people. This prohibition 
should be compared with I Chr. 7:26 
and Ez. 24:15-17. 



Judea. 



4. Forms of mourning forbidden in 
the law. (Lev. 19:28)— "Ye shall not 
make any cuttings in your flesh for 
the dead nor print any marks upon 
you." 



5. In vs. 10-15 is recorded the 
cause of the impending judgment. 



Stubbornness. 



7. In vs. 10-21 are given many de- 
tails of the exile. 



8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of 
feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink. 

9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el; Behold, a I will cause to cease out 
of this place in your eyes, and in your days, 
the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, 
the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of 
the bride. 

10 IT r And it shall come to pass, when thou 
shalt shew this people all these words, and 
they shall say unto thee, & Wherefore hath the 
Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? 
or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin 
that we have committed against the Lord our 
God? 

11 Then shalt thou say unto them, "Because 
your fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, 
and have walked after other gods, and have 
served them, and have worshipped them, and 
have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; 

12 And ye have done d worse than your 
fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after 
the "imagination of his evil heart, that they 
may not hearken unto me: 

13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land 
into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor 
your fathers; and there shall ye serve other 
gods day and night; where I will not shew 
you favour. 

14 If Therefore, behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The 
Lord liveth, that brought up the children of 
is'ra-el out of the land of E'gypt; 

15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up 
the children of is'ra-el from the land of the 
north, and from all the lands whither he had 
driven them : and I will bring them again into 
their land that I gave unto their fathers. 

16 1f 7 Behold, I will send for many fishers, 
saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and 
after will I send for many hunters, and they 
shall hunt them from every mountain, and 
from every hill, and out of the holes of the 
rocks. 

17 For mine c eyes are upon all their ways: 
they are not hid from my face, neither is their 
iniquity hid from mine eyes. 

18 And first I will recompense their iniquity 
and their sin double; because they have f de- 
filed my land, they have filled mine inheri- 
tance with the carcases of their detestable and 
abominable things. 

19 O Lord, 'my strength, and my fortress, 
and my refuge in the day of affliction, the 
Gen'tiles? shall come unto thee from the ends 
of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers 
have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein 
there is no profit. 



thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me in Babylon, forbear: 
behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and con- 
venient for thee to go, thither go. (Jer. 40:4:) 

e. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the un- 
godly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the 
scornful. (Ps. 1:1.) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye 
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will 
receive you. (II Cor. 6:17.) And I heard another voice from heaven, 
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her 
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Rev. 18:4.) 

f. Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for 
the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have 
done these things unto thee. (Jer. 30:15.) 

g. But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall 
be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will 
contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy chil- 
dren. (Is. 49:25.) Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to 
deliver thee, saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) So that we may boldly say, 
The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 
(Heb. 13:6.) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 
(Mat. 6:13.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. The new wine mourneth, the vine languisbeth, all the merry- 
hearted do sigh. (Is. 24:7.) And I will cause the noise of thy songs 
to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. (Bz. 26:13.) 
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, 
and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. (Hos. 2:11.) 

b. Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus 
unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? (Dt. 29:24.) 
And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man 



to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city? 
(Jer. 22:8.) And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things 
upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, 
and thy heels made bare. (Jer. 13:22.) 

c. And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, 
who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have 
taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served 
them; therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil. (I Ks. 
9:9.) Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant 
of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. 
(Jer. 22:9.) 

d. Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hard- 
ened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. (Jer. 7:26.) But evil 
men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and heing de- 
ceived. (II Tim. 3:13.) 

e. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his 
goings. (Job 34:21.) For the ways of man are before the eyes of the 
Lord, and he pondereth all his goings. (Prov. 5:21.) For there is noth- 
ing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be 
known. (Luke 12:2.) Therefore judge nothing before the time, until 
the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of dark- 
ness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall 
every man have praise of God. (I Cor. 4:5.) Thou hast set our in- 
iquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thv countenance. (Ps. 
90:8.) 

f. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because 
they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the 
everlasting covenant. (Is. 24:5.) 

g. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my 
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of 
my salvation, and my high tower. (Ps. 18:2.) The Lord is their strength,

20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and 
they are no gods? 

21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause 
them to know, I will cause them to know mine 
hand and my might; and they shall know that 
my name is ''The Lord. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 The captivity of Judah for her sin. 5 Trust 
in man is cursed, 7 in God is blessed. 12 
The salvation of God. 15 The prophet com- 
plaineth of the mockers of his prophecy. 

1 ^he sin of Ju'dah is written with a pen 
of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is 
"graven upon the table of ^heir heart, and 
upon the horns of your altars; 

2 Whilst their children remember their al- 
tars and their ^groves by the green trees upon 
the high hills. 

3 my mountain in the field, I will give thy 
substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, 
and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy 
borders. 

4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue 
from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I 
will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the 
land which thou knowest not: for ye have 
kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn 
for ever. 

5 1I 3 Thus saith the Lord; c Cursed be the 
man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh 
his arm, and whose heart departeth from the 
Lord.' 

6 For he shall be like the "heath in the 
desert, and shall not see when good cometh ; 
but shall inhabit the parched places in the 
wilderness, in a 5 salt land and not inhabited. 

7 d Blessed °is the man that trusteth in the 
Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 

8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the 
waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by 
the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, 
but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be 
careful in the year of drought, neither shall 
cease from yielding fruit. 

9 If e The heart is deceitful above all things, 
and desperately wicked: 7 who can know it? 

10 I the Lord ^search the heart, I try the 
reins, even to give ^every man according to 
his ways, and according to the fruit of his 
doings.

hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, 
and not by right, shall leave them in the midst 
of his days, and at his end shall be ''a fool. 

12 H A glorious high throne from the begin- 
ning is the place of our sanctuary. 

13 O Lord, the hope of Is'ra-el, *all that for- 
sake thee shall be ashamed, and they that de- 
part from me shall be written in the earth, 
because they have forsaken the Lord, the 
fountain of living waters. 

14 s Heal me, Lord, and I shall be healed; 
save me, and I shall be saved : for thou art my 
praise. 

15 ""Behold, they say unto me, •'"Where is 
the word of the Lord? let it come now. 

16 As for me, I have not hastened from 
being a 9 pastor to follow thee: neither have I 
desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that 
which came out of my lips was right before 
thee. 

17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my 
hope in the day of evil. 

18 Let them be confounded that persecute 
me, but let not me be confounded: let them 
be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed : bring 
upon them the day of evil, and destroy them 
with double destruction. 

19 V°Thus said the Lord unto me; Go and 
stand in the gate of the children of the people, 
whereby the kings of Ju'dah come in, and by 
the which they go out, and in all the gates 
of Je-ru'sa-lem; 

20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of 
the Lord, ye kings of Ju'dah, and all Ju'dah, 
and all the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, that 
enter in by these gates: 

21 Thus saith the Lord; ''Take heed to your- 
selves, and bear no burden on. the sabbath day, 
nor bring it in by the gates of Je-ru'sa-lem; 

22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your 
houses on the sabbath day, neither do 'ye any 
work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I com- 
manded your fathers. 

23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined 
their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they 
might not hear, nor receive instruction. 

24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently 
hearken unto me, saith the Lord, to bring in 
no burden through the gates of this city on 
the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, 
to do no work therein; 



and he is the saving strength of his anointed. (Ps. 2S:8.) Pull me 
out of the net that they have laid privily for me; for thou art my 
strength. (Ps. 31:4.) The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom 
shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I 
be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; 
he is their strength in the time of trouble. (Ps. 37:39.) 

h. That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, 
art the Most High over all the earth. (Ps. 83:18.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy 
neck; write them upon the table of thine heart. (Prov. 3:3.) Forasmuch 
as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by 
us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in 
tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. (II Cor. 3:3.) 

b. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves. (Jud. 
3:7.) For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and 
ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. (Is. 1:29.) 
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the 
children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks? (Is. 57:5.) 

c. Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, 
but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit, 
that they may add sin to sin. (Is. 30:1.) 

d. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good; and whoso 
trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. (Prov. 16:20.) Judge me, O Lord; 
for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; 
therefore I shall not slide. (Ps. 26:1.) I have hated them that regard 
lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. (Ps. 31:6.) And again, I will put 
my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath 
given me. (Heb. 2:13.) Let your conversation be without covetousness; 
and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will 
never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The 
Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 
(Heb. 13:5, 6.) Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose 
hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.) 

e. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, 
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil 
continually. (Gen. C:5.) For from within, out of the heart of men, 
proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, cov- 
etousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, 
pride, foolishness. (Mk. 7:21, 22.) But in vain they do worship me, 



teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Mat. 15:9.) For sin, 
taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 
(Rom. 7:11.) That ye put off, concerning the former conversation, the 
old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. (Eph. 4:22.) 

f. And thou, Solomon ray son, know thou the God of thy father, and 
serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind; for the Lord 
searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the 
thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake 
him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) The fining pot is for 
silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts. (Prov. 
17:3.) And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth wnat is the mind of 
the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to 
the will of God. (Rom. 8:27.) 

g. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to 
every man according to his work. (Ps. 62:12.) For God shall bring 
every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, 
or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) He that is unjust, let him be un- 
just still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is 
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be 
holy still. (Rev. 22:11.) "Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend. 
I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to 
offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance be- 
longeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The 
Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

h. But God said unto him, ThOu fool, this night thy soul shall be 
required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast pro- 
vided? (Luke 12:20.) 

i. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast de- 
stroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. (Ps. 73:27.) 

j. Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it 
for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. (Amos 5:1S.) 

k. And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they 
found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day (32). And the 
Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the 
congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. (Num. 
15:32, 35.) 

1. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou 
labor and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the 
Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor 
thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, 
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. (Ex. 20:8-10.) Six days thou

25 Then "'shall there enter into the gates of 
this city kings and princes sitting upon the 
throne of Da'vid, riding in chariots and on 
horses, they, and their princes, the men of 
Ju'dah, and the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem: 
and this city shall remain for ever. 

26 And they shall come from the cities of 
Ju'dah, and from the places about Je-ru'sa- 
lem, and from the land of Ben'ja-min, and 
from the plain, .and from the mountains, and 
from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and 
sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and 
bringing "sacrifices of praise, unto the house 
of the Lord. 

27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to 
hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a bur- 
den, even entering in at the gates of Je-ru'sa- 
lem on the sabbath day; then "will I kindle a 
fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour 
the palaces of Je-ru'sa-lem, and it shall not be 
quenched. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 Under the type of a potter is shelved God's 
absolute power in disposing of nations. 11 
Judgments threatened to Jitdah for her 
strange revolt. 18 Jeremiah prayeth against 
his conspirators. 

1 "The word which came to 2 Jer-e-mi'ah 
from the Lord, saying, 

2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, 
and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 

3 Then I went down to the potter's house, 
and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 

4 And the vessel that he made of clay was 
marred in the hand of the potter: so he made 
it again another vessel, as seemed good to the 
potter to make it. 

5 3 Then the word of the Lord came to me, 
saying, 

6 house of Is'ra-el, "cannot I do with you 
as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, 6 as the 
clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine 
hand, house of Is'ra-el. 

7 At what instant ^1 shall speak concerning 
a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck 
up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 

8 If c that nation, against whom I have pro- 
nounced, turn from their evil, I will repent 
of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 

9 And at what instant I shall speak con- 
cerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, 
to build and to plant it; 

10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not 
my voice, then I will repent of the good, 
wherewith I said I would benefit them. 



Ch. 18. B. C. 605. 



1. In ch. IS. by the symbol of the 
potter, moulding his vessel of clay, 
God. as sole sovereign, shows his ab- 
solute power in disposiug of nations. 



2. Vs. 1-4, the illustration of the 
'potter. 



3. In vs. 5-10 the parable is In- 
terpreted. 



4. In vs. 11-17 the parable is ap- 
plied to the condition of the Jews. 



5. "Shall the snow of Lebanon fall 
from the rock of the field? or shall 
the cold waters that flow down from 
afar be dried up? for my people have 
forgotten me. they have burned in- 
cense to false gods; and they have 
been made to stumble in their ways 
in the ancient paths, to walk in by- 
paths, in a way not cast up." 



6. In vs. 1S-23 is recorded the 
manner in which people received the 
prophecy. 



11 % 4 Now therefore go to, speak to the men 
of Ju'dah, and to the inhabitants of Je-ru/sa- 
lem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I 
frame evil against you, and devise a device 
against you: ^return ye now every one from 
his evil way, and make your ways and your 
doings good. 

12 And they said, There is no hope: but we 
will walk after our own devices, and we will 
every one do the imagination of his evil heart. 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord; c Ask ye 
now among the heathen, who hath heard such 
things: the virgin of Is'ra-el hath done a very 
horrible thing. 

14 5 Will a man leave the snow of Leb'a-non 
which cometh from the rock of the field? or 
shall the cold flowing waters that come from 
another place be forsaken? 

15 Because my people ^hath forgotten me, 
they have burned incense to vanity, and they 
have caused them to stumble in their ways 
from the ^ancient paths, to walk in paths, in 
a way not cast up; 

16 To make their land desolate, and a per- 
petual hissing; every one that passeth thereby 
shall be astonished, and wag his head. 

17 I will scatter them as with an east wind 
before the enemy; I will shew them the back, 
and not the face, in the day of their calamity. 

18 11 6 Then said they, ''Come, and let us de- 
vise devices against Jer-e-ml'ah; for the law 
shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel 
from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. 
Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, 
and let us not give heed to any of his words. 

19 Give heed to me, Lord, and hearken 
to the voice of them that contend with me. 

20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for 
they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember 
that I stood before thee to speak good for 
them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. 

21 Therefore deliver up their children to 
the famine, and pour out their blood by the 
force of the sword; and let their wives be 
bereaved of their children, and be widows; 
and let their men be put to death; let their 
young men be slain by the sword in battle. 

22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, 
when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon 
them: for they have digged a pit to take me, 
and hid snares for my feet. 

23 Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their coun- 
sel against me to slay me: 'forgive not their 
iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy 
sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; 
deal thus with them in the time of thine anger. 



shalt work; but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and 
in harvest thou shalt rest. (Ex. 34:21.) Speak thou also unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a 
sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may 
know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the 
sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it 
shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, 
that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Ex. 31:13, 14.) 

m. Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, 
■which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and 
with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days 
upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:10.) 

n. And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare 
his works with rejoicing. (Ps. 107:22.) I will offer to thee the sacrifice 
of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. (Ps. 116:17.) 

0. The Lord hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his 
fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the 
foundations thereof. (Lam. 4:11.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall 
the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me 
thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to 
make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? (Rom. 9:20, '21.) 

b. But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and 
thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. (Is. 64:8.) 

c. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath com- 
mitted, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, 
he shall surely live, he shall not die. (Ez. 18:21.) Say unto them, As 
I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the 
wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn 
ye from your evil ways: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? (Ez. 
33:11.) And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; 
and God repented of the evil that he had said that he would do unto 
them; and he did it not. (Jon. 3:10.) 

d. Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah by all 
the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, 



and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law 
which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my ser- 
vants the prophets. (II Ks. 17:13.) Then spake Jeremiah unto all the 
princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy 
against this house and against this city all the words that ye have 
heard. Therefore now amend your ways and you*r doings, and obey the 
voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil 
that he hath pronounced against you. (Jer. 26:12, 13.) 

e. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall 
the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born 
at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 
(Is. 66:8.) For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto 
Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing: Hath 
a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people 
have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. (Jer. 2:10, 11.) 

f. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken 
me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken 
cisterns, that can hold no water. (Jer. 2:13.) A voice was heard upon 
the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for 
they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their 
God. (Jer. 3:21.) 

g. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they 
have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them 
to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to 
anger with a foolish nation. (Dt. 32:21.) Thus saith the Lord, Stand 
ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good 
way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they 
said, We will not walk therein. (Jer. 6:16.) All we like sheep have gone 
astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath 
laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Is. 53:6.) 

h. Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always 
resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. (Acts 7:51.) For 
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after 
their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching 
ears. (II Tim. 4:3.) 

i. And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out

CHAPTER 19. 
Under the type of breaking a potter's vessel 
is foreshewed the desolation of the Jews for 
their sins. 

1 'Thus saith the Lord, Go and get a pot- 
ter's earthen bottle, and take of the 2 ancients 
of the people, and of the 2 ancients of the 
priests; 

2 And go forth unto the valley of the son 
of Hin'nom, which is by the entry of the east 
gate, and proclaim there the words that I 
shall tell thee, 

3 And say,_Hear ye the word of the Lord, 
kings of Ju'dah, and inhabitants of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el; Behold, I will bring evil upon this 
place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears 
shall tingle. 

4 Because they a have forsaken me, and have 
estranged this place, and have burned incense 
in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor 
their fathers have known, nor the kings of 
Ju'dah, and have filled this place with 6 the 
blood of innocents; 

5 They have built also the high places of 
Ba'al, to burn their sons with fire for burnt 
offerings unto Ba'al, which I commanded not, 
nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: 

6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that this place shall no more be 
called To'phet, nor The valley of the son of 
Hin'nom, but The valley of slaughter. 

7 And I will make void the counsel of Ju'- 
dah and Je-ru/sa-lem in this place; c and I 
will cause them to fall by the sword before 
their enemies, and by the hands of them that 
seek their lives: and their carcases will I give 
to be meat for the fowls of the heaven and for 
the beasts of the earth. 

8 And I will make this city desolate, and 
an hissing; every one that passeth thereby 
shall be astonished and hiss because of all the 
plagues thereof. 

9 And I will cause them to 3 eat the ^flesh of 
their sons and the flesh of their daughters, 
and they shall eat every one the flesh of his 
friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith 
their enemies, and they that seek their lives, 
shall straiten them. 

10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the 
sight of the men that go with thee, 

11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts; c Even so will I break this peo- 
ple and this city, as one breaketh a potter's 
vessel, that cannot be made whole again : and 
they shall bury them in To'phet, till there be 
no place to bury. 

12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the 
Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even 
make this city as To'phet: 

13 And the houses of Je-ru/sa-lem, and the 
houses of the kings of Ju'dah, shall be defiled 
as the place of To'phet, because of all the 
houses upon whose roofs they have burned

1. In ch. 19, through the symbol 
of breaking a water pitcher is fore- 
told the destruction of the Jews. 



3. A terrible famine to follow the 
other judgments to make the destruc- 
tion complete. This part, of the 
prophecy was fulfilled in Lam. 20:22.

1. In ch. 20 Jer. renews his pre- 
dictions against Jerusalem, and Pash- 
ur, principal officer of the temple, 
places him in the stocks for prophesy- 
ing within the temple.

tioned showing that Jer. has a public 
recognition in his prophetical charac-

3. An instrument of torture, hav- 
ing five holes in it, one for the neck, 
each hand and each foot, thus holding 
the body in a stooping posture. Paul 
and Silas were likewise punished. 
(Acts 16:24) — "Who, having received 
such a charge, , thrust them into the 
inner prison and made their feet fast

poured out drink offerings unto other gods. 

14 'Then came Jer-e-mi'ah from To'phet, 
whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; 
and he stood in Hhe court of the Lord's house; 
and said to all the people, 

15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el; Behold, I will bring upon this city 
and upon all her towns all the evil that I have 
pronounced against it, because they have hard- 
ened their necks, that they might not hear my 
words. 

CHAPTER 20. 
1 Pashur, smiting Jeremiah, receiveth a new 
name, and a fearful doom. 7 Jeremiah 
complaineth of contempt, 10 of treachery, 
14 and of his birth. 

1 'Now Pash'ur the son of Im'mer the priest, 
who was also chief governor in the house of 
the Lord, heard that Jer-e-mi'ah prophesied 
these things. 

2 Then Pash'ur smote 2 Jer-e-mi"ah the 
prophet, and put him in the "stocks that were 
in the high gate of Ben'ja-min, which was by 
the house of the Lord. 

3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
Pash'ur brought forth Jer-e-mi'ah out of the 
stocks. Then said Jer-e-mi'ah unto him, The 
Lord hath not called thy name Pash'ur, but 
Ma'gor-mis'sa-bib. 

4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
make thee a a terror to thyself, and to all thy 
friends: and they shall fall by the sword of 
their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: 
and I will give all Ju'dah into the hand of the 
king of Bab'y-lon, and he shall carry them 
captive into Bab'y-lon, and shall slay them 
with the sword. 

5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength 
of this city, and all the labours thereof, and 
all the precious things thereof, and all the 
treasures of the kings of Ju'dah will I give 
into the hand of their enemies, which shall 
spoil them, and take them, and carry them to 
Bab'y-lon. 

6 And thou, Pash'ur, and all that dwell in 
thine house shall go into captivity: and thou 
shalt come to Bab'y-lon, and there thou shalt 
die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all 
thy friends, to whom thou hast ^prophesied 
lies. 

7 1*0 Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I 
was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and 
hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every 
one mocketh me. 

8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried s vio- 
lence and spoil; because the word of the Lord 
was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, 
daily. 

9 Then I said, I will not make mention of 
him, nor speak any more in his name. But 
his word was in mine heart as a burning fire 
shut up in my bones, and I was weary with 
forbearing, and <T could not stay. 



from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the build- 
ers. (Neh. 4:5.) Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the 
Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. (Ps. 109:14.) And 
the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: there- 
fore forgive them not. (Is. 2:9.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in 
all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, 
and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, 
whereby thou hast forsaken me. (Dt. 28:20.) Thou hast forsaken me, 
saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my 
hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. (Jer. 
15:6.) O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, 
and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because 
they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters. (Jer. 17:13.) 
■ b. Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had 
filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin wherewith he 
made Judah to sin, in doing ihat which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord. (II Ks. 21:16.) 

c. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall oe slain before 
your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee 
when none pursueth you. (Lev. 26:17.) The Lord shall cause thee to 
be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, 
and flee seven ways before them ; and shalt be removed into all the 
kingdoms of the earth. (Dt. 28:25.) 



d. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your 
daughters shall ye eat. (Lev. 26:29.) The hands of the pitiful women 
have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction 
of the daughters of my people. (Lam. 4:10.) 

e. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them 
in pieces like a potter's vessel. (Ps. 2:9.) The precious sons of Zion, 
comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the 
work of the hands of the potter! (Lam. 4:2.) 

f. And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusa- 
lem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court. (II Chr. 20:5.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him 
to his feet. (Job 18:11.) Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and 
turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are 
fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the Lord. 
(Jer. 46:5.) 

b. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, 
Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give 
you assured peace in this place. Then the Lord said unto me, The 
prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I 
commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a 
false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of 
their hearts. (Jer. 14 :13, 14.) 

c. For I am full of matter; the spirit within me constraineth me. 
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it Is ready to burst like

10 1f For I heard the defaming of many, fear 
on every side. Report, say they, and we will 
report it. All my familiars watched for my 
halting, saying, Peradventure he will be en- 
ticed, and we shall prevail against him, and 
we shall take our revenge on him. 

11 But d the Lord is with me as a mighty 
terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall 
stumble, and they shall not "prevail: they shall 
be greatly ashamed; for they shall not pros- 
per: their everlasting confusion shall never be 
forgotten. 

12 But, Lord of hosts, that driest the 
righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, 
*>let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto 
thee have I opened my cause. 

13 Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: 
for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from 
the hand of evildoers. 

14 If Cursed be the day wherein I was born : 
let not the day wherein my mother bare me be 
blessed. • 

15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings 
to my father, saying, A man child is born unto 
thee; making him very glad. 

16 And let that man be as the cities which 
the Lord ovei threw, and repented not: and let 
him hear the cry in the morning, and the 
shouting at noontide; 

17 Because he slew me not from the womb; 
or that my mother might have been my grave, 
and her womb to be always great with me. 

18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb 
to see labour and sorrow, that my days should 
be consumed ''with shame? 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 Zedekiah sendeth to Jeremiah to enquire the 
event of Nebuchadrezzar's war. 3 Jeremiah 
foretelleth a hard siege and miserable cap- 
tivity. 8 He counselleth the people to fall 
to the Chaldeans, 11 and upbraideth the 
king's house. 

1 'The word which came unto Jer-e-mi'ah 
from the ^Lord, when king Zed-e-ki'ah sent 
unto him Pash'ur the son of Mel-chi'ah, and 
Zeph-a-ni'ah the son of Ma-a-se'iah the priest, 
saying, 

2 Enquire, a I pray thee, of the Lord for us; 
for Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon mak- 
eth war against us ; if so be that the Lord will 
deal with us according to all his wondrous 
works, that he may go up from us. 



Ch. 21. B. C. 589. 



1. With this ch. and extending to 
ch. 33, begins a series of prophecies 
concerning the judgments to be ac- 
complished by the Chaldeans and of 
the Messianic salvation. In this ch. 
Zedekiah consults the prophet regard- 
ing the event of the war and receives 
God's answer. 



2. For the historical setting of 
this ch. see ehs. 37 and 3S, between 
which it logically belongs. 



3. Vs. 3-14 record the prophet's 
answer to the king's questions in vs. 
1, 2. 



4. The arm which so many times 
has been outstretched to fight for 
them will now. because of their sins, 
fight against them. 



5. Will deliver into the hands of 
the enemy. 



3 If 3 Then said Jer-e-mi'ah unto them, Thus 
shall ye say to Zed-e-ki'ah: 

4 Thus saith the Lord God of Is'ra-el; Be- 
hold, I will turn back the weapons of war that 
are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against 
the king of Bab'y-lon, and against the Chal- 
de'ang, which besiege you without the walls, 
and I will assemble them into the midst of 
this city. 

5 And I myself will fight against you with 
an Outstretched 'hand and with a strong arm, 
even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. 

6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this 
city, both man and beast: they shall die of a 
great pestilence. 

7 And afterward, saith the Lord, I will de- 
liver 5 Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah, and his serv- 
ants, and the people, and such as are left in 
this city from the pestilence, from the sword, 
and from the famine, into the hand of Neb- 
u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon, and into the 
hand of their enemies, and into the hand of 
those that seek their life: and he shall smite 
them with the edge of the sword; c he shall 
not spare them, neither have pity, nor have 
mercy. 

8 II And unto this people thou shalt say, 
Thus saith the Lord; Behold, d I set before you 
the way of life, and the way of death. 

9 He that abideth in this city shall die by 
the sword, and by the famine, and by the pes- 
tilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to 
the Chal-de'an§ that besiege you, he shall live, 
and e his life shall be unto him for a prey. 

10 For I have set my face against this city 
for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it 
shall be given into the hand of the king of 
Bab'y-lon, and he shall burn it with fire. 

11 If And touching the house of the king of 
Ju'dah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord; 

12 house of Da'vid, thus saith the Lord; 
Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver 
him that is spoiled out of the hand of the op- 
pressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn 
that none can quench it, because of the evil of 
your doings. 

13 Behold, 1 am against thee, inhabitant 
of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the 
Lord; which say, Who shall come down against 
us? or who shall enter into our habitations? 

14 But I will punish you ^according to the 
fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I 
will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it 
shall devour all things round about it. 



new bottles. I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips 
and answer. (Job 32:18-20.) And when Silas and Timotheus were come 
from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews 
that Jesus was Christ. (Acts 18:5.) 

d. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, 
saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) What shall we then say to these things? If 
God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

e. And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: 
and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: 
for I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 
(Jer. 15:20.) 

f. I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every 
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 
(Jer. 17:10.) 

g. For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath 
seen his desire upon mine enemies. (Ps. 54:7.) The God of my mercy 
shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. 
(Ps. 59:10.) 

h. For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it 
were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, 
and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are 
wise in Christ: we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we 
are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, 
and are naked and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place; 
And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being 
persecuted, we suffer it; Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as 
the filth of the world, and are the off-scouring of all things unto this 
day. (I Cor. 4:9-13.) Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, 
and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all before thee. (Ps. 69:19.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. Entreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty 
thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 
(Ex. 9:28.) 

b. Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and 
I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I 
will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched- 
out arm, and with great judgments. (Ex. 6:6.) 

c. A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person 



of the old, nor show favor to the young. (Dt. 28:50.) And mine eye shall 
not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to 
thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye 
shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth. (Ez. 7:9.) For, lo, I raise 
up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march 
through the breadth of a land, to possess the dwelling places that are 
not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their 
dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than 
the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their 
horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from 
far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. They shall come 
all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they 
shall gather the captivity as the sand. And they shall scoff at the 
kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride ev- 
ery strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. (Hab. 1:6-10.) 

d. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I 
have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore 
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. (Dt. 30:19.) If ye 
be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye 
refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of 
the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 1:19, 20.) 

e. For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the 
sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee; because thou hast 
put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. (Jer. 39:18.) 

f. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God; Because ye nave spoken van- 
ity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord 
God. (Ez. 13:8.) Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith 
the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbor. Behold, I 
am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and 
say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, 
saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their 
lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: 
therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. (Jer. 
23:30-32. 

g. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, 
behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man 
according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Wherefore, if meat make

1 He exhorteth to repentance, with promises 
and threats. 10 The judgment of Shallum, 
13 of Jehoiakim, 20 and of Coniah. 

1 1 Thus saith the Lord; Go down to the 
house of the king of Ju'dah, and speak there 
this 'word, 

2 And say, Hear the word of the Lord, 
king of Ju'dah, that sittest upon the throne 
of Da'vid, thou, and thy servants, and thy 
people that enter in by these gates: 

3 Thus saith the Lord; a Execute ye judg- 
ment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled 
out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no 
wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the 
fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed inno- 
cent blood in this place. 

4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall 
there enter in by the gates of this house kings 
sitting upon the throne of Da'vid, riding in 
chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, 
and his people. 

5 But if ye will not hear these words, l I 
swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this 
house shall become a desolation. 

6 For thus saith the Lord unto the king's 
house of Ju'dah; Thou art Gil'e-ad Tinto me, 
and the "head of Leb'a-non: yet surely I will 
make thee c a wilderness, and cities wmich are 
not inhabited. 

7 And I will prepare destroyers against 
thee, every one with his weapons: and they 
shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast 
them into the fire. 

8 And many nations shall pass by this city, 
and they shall say every man to his neighbour, 
d Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this 
great city? 

9 Then they shall answer, ^Because they 
have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their 
God, and worshipped other gods, and served ! 
them. 

10 r 3 Weep ye not for the Mead, neither be- 
moan him: but weep sore for him that goeth 
away: for he shall return no more, nor see 
his native countiy. 

11 For thus saith the Lord touching Shal- 
lum the son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah, which 
reigned instead of Jo-si'ah his father, which 
went forth out of this place; He shall not re- 
turn thither any more: 

12 But he shall die in the place whither 
they have led him captive, and shall see this 
land no more.

by unrighteousness, and his chambers by

without wages, and giveth him not for his 
work ; 

14 That saith, I will build me a wide house 
and large chambers, and cutteth him out win- 
dows; and it is 'cieled with cedar, and painted 
with vermilion. 

15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest 
thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and 
drink, and do judgment and justice, »and then 
it was well with him? 

16 He judged the cause of the poor and 
needy; then ?it was well with him: was not 
this to know me? saith the Lord. 

17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not 
but for thy covetousness, and for to shed in- 
nocent blood, and for oppression, and for vio- 
lence, to do it. 

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning 
Je-hoi'a-kim the son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah; 
They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my 
brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament 
for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! 

19 He shall be buried with the burial of an 
ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates 
of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20 r Go up to Leb'a-non, and cry; and lift 
up thy voice in Ba'shan, and cry from the 
passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed. 

21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but 
thou saidst, I will not hear. ''This hath been 
thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst 
not my voice. 

22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, 
and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely 
then shalt thou be ashamed and 'confounded 
for all thy wickedness. 

23 O inhabitant of 7 Leb'a-non, that makest 
thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt 
thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain 
as of a woman in travail! 

24 As I live, saith the Lord, though Co- 
ni'ah the son of Je-hoi'a-kim king of Ju'dah 
were the signet upon my right hand, yet would 
I pluck thee thence; 

25 'And I will give thee into the hand of 
them that seek thy life, and into the hand of 
them whose face thou fearest, even into the 
hand of Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon, 
and into the hand of the Chal-de'ans. 

26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother 
that bare thee, into another country, where 
ye were not born; and there shall ye die. 

27 But to the land whereunto they desire to 
return, thither shall they not return.

idol? is he ? "a vessel wherein is no pleasure? 



my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I 
make my brother to offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) For we know him that hath 
said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. 
And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 
Chapter 22. 

a. For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you 
thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor. (Jer. 
7:5.) And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of 
Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter 
In by these gates. (Jer. 17:20.) O house of David, thus saith the Lord: 
Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of 
the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that 
none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. (Jer. 21:12.) 

b. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could 
swear by no greater, he sware by himself. (Heb. 6:13.) 

c. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and 
Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the 
high places of the forest. (Mic. 3:12.) A fruitful land into barrenness. 
for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. (Ps. 107:34.) Then said 
I, Lord, how long? And he answered. Until the cities be wasted with- 
out inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly 
desolate. (Is. 6:11.) 

d. Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus 
unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? Then men 
shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God 
of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth 
out of the land of Egypt. (Dt. 29:24, 25.) 

e. Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto 
other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of 
their hands: therefore mv wrath shall be kindled against this place, and 
shall not be quenched. (II Ks. 22:17.) 

f. Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto 
other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of 
their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and 



shall not be quenched. (II Chr. 34:25.) Thou shalt not oppress an hired 
servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy 
strangers that are in thy land within thy gates. (Dt. 24:14.) Behold, 
the hire of the laborers which have reaped down your fields, which is of 
you kept back by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them which have 
reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. (Js. 5:4.) 

g. Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his 
ways. For thou shalt" eat the labor of thine hands: happy shalt thou 
be." and it shall be well with thee. (Ps. 128:1, 2.) Say ye to the right- 
eous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their 
doings. (Is. 3:10.) Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will 
obev the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it 
may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God. (Jer. 
42:6.) He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the 
Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk 
humbly with thy God? (Mic. 6:8.) If ye know these things, happy are 
ye if ye do them. (Jno. 13:17.) 

h. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we 
have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our 
vouth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord 
bur God. (Jer. 3:25.) 

i. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servant shall eat, 
but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servant shall drink, but ye shall be 
thirs"ty: behold, my servant shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed. (Is. 
65:13.) But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my 
persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be 
greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion 
shall never be forgotten. (Jer. 20:11.) 

j. I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into 
the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be 
for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and. to the beasts of the earth.

wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, 
and are cast into a land which they know not? 

29 earth, earth, earth, hear the word of 
the Lord. 

30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man 
childless, a man that shall not prosper in his 
days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, 
sitting upon the throne of Da'vid, and ruling 
any more in Ju'dah. 

CHAPTER 23. 
1 He prophesieth a restoration of the scat- 
tered flock. 5 Christ shall rule and save 
them. 9 Against false prophets, 33 and 
mockers of the true prophets. 

1 Woe °be unto the 2 pastors that destroy 
and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the 
Lord. 

2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Is'- 
ra-el against the pastors that feed my people; 
Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them 
away, and have not visited them: behold, I 
6 will visit upon you the evil of your doings, 
saith the Lord. 

3 And I will gather the remnant of my 
flock out of all countries whither I have driven 
them, and will bring them again to their folds; 
and they shall be fruitful and increase. 

4 And I will set up shepherds over them 
which shall feed them: and they shall fear no 
more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be 
lacking, saith the Lord. 

5 1 Behold, c the days come, saith the Lord, 
that I will raise unto Da'vid a righteous 
Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, 
b and shall execute judgment and justice in the 
earth. 

6 In his days Ju'dah shall be saved, and 
Is'ra-el shall divell safely: and this is his name 
whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR 
RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that they shall no more say, The 
Lord liveth, which brought up the children of 
is'ra-el out of the land of E'gypt; 

8 But, the Lord Jiveth, which brought up 
and which led the seed of the house of Is'ra-el 
out of the north country, d and from all coun- 
tries whither I had driven them; and they 
shall dwell in their own land. 

9 11 "'Mine heart within me is broken because 
of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like 
a drunken man, and like a man whom wine 
hath overcome, because of the Lord, and be- 
cause of the words of his holiness. 

10 For the land is full of adulterers; for 
because of swearing the land mourneth; the 
pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, 
and their course is evil, and their force is not 
right. 

11 For e both prophet and . priest are pro- 
fane; yea, in my house have I found their 
wickedness, saith the Lord. 

12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them 



Ch. 23. B. C. 599.

ecy concerning the wicked rulers who

as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall 
be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring 
evil upon them, even the year of their visita- 
tion, saith the Lord. 

13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of 
Sa-ma'ri-a; they prophesied in Ba'al, and 
caused my people Is'ra-el to err. 

14 I have seen also in the prophets of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem an horrible thing: they commit adul- 
tery, and walk in lies: they strengthen ''also 
the hands of evildoers, that none doth return 
from his wickedness: they are all of them 
unto me as Sod'om, and the inhabitants there- 
of as Go-mor'rah. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of ' hosts 
concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed 
them with wormwood, and make them drink 
the water of gall: for from the prophets of 
Je-ru'sa-lem is profaneness gone forth into all 
the land. 

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken 
not ^imto the words of the prophets that 
prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they 
speak a vision of their own heart, and not out 
of the mouth of the Lord. 

17 They say still unto them that despise me, 
The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and 
they say unto every one that walketh after 
the imagination of his own heart, ''No evil 
shall come upon you. 

18 For 'who hath stood in the counsel of 
the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his 
word? who hath marked 4 his word, and heard 
it? 

19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone 
forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it 
shall fall grievously upon the head of the 
wicked. 

20 The anger of the Loi'd shall not return, 
until he have executed, and till he have per- 
formed the thoughts of his heart: in the lat- 
ter days ye shall consider it perfectly. 

21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they 
ran : I have not spoken to them, yet they 
prophesied. 

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and 
had caused my people to hear my words, then 
they should have turned them from their evil 
way, and from the evil of their doings. 

23 Am il a God at hand, saith the Lord, and 
not a God afar off? 

24 Can any hide himself in secret places 
that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do 
''not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. 

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that 
prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have 
dreamed, I have dreamed. 

26 How long shall this be in the heart of 
the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are 
prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 

27 Which think to 'cause my people to for- 
get my name by their dreams which they tell 
every man to his neighbour, as their fathers 
have forgotten my name for Ba'al.

the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. (Hos. 8:8.) 
Chapter 23. 

a. Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, 
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe 
he to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the 
shepherds feed the flocks? (Ez. 34:2.) Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, 
and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the 
shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from 
their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. (Ez. 34:10.) 

b. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, 
behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me. to give every man 
according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Therefore, if meat make 
my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest 
I make my brother to offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) For we know him that hath 
said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. 
And again : The Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

c. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a 
Branch shall grow out of his roots. (Is. 11:1.) 

d. Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the 
east, and gather thee from the west. (Is. 43:5.) 

e.. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have 
polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. (Zeph. 3:4.) 



f. Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, 
whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, 
that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life. 
(Ez. 13:22.) 

g. Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from 
the words of knowledge. (Prov. 19:27.) Beware of false prophets, which 
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 
(Mat. 7:15.) 

h. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach 
for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean 
upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come 
upon us. (Mic. 3:11.) 

i. Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom 
to thyself? (Job 15:8.)- For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that 
he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (I Cor. 2:16.) 

3. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high. Who 
humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the 
earth! (Ps. 113:5, 6.) 

k. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven, and 
heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house 
that I have builded! (I Ks. 8:27.) Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is 
my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye 
build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? (Is. 66:1.)

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him 
tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let 
him speak my word '"faithfully. What is the 
chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. 

29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the 
Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the 
rock in pieces? 

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the 
prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words 
every one from his neighbour. 

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith 
the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He 
saith. 

32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy 
false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, 
and cause my people to ei - r by their lies, and 
by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor 
commanded them: therefore they shall not 
profit this people at all, saith the Lord. 

33 li And when this people, or the prophet, 
or a priest shall ask thee, saying, What is the 
burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto 
them, What burden? I will even forsake you, 
saith the Lord. 

34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, 
and the people, that shall say, The burden of 
the Lord, I will even punish that man and his 
house. 

35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neigh- 
bour, and every one to his brother, What hath 
the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord 
spoken? 

36 And the burden of the Lord shall ye 
mention no more: for every man's "word shall 
be his burden; for ye "have perverted the 
words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts 
our God. 

37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What 
hath the Lord answered the^? and, What hath 
the Lord spoken? 

38 But since ye say, The burden of the 
Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because 
ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and 
I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, 
The burden of the Lord; 

39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, Pwill "utterly 
forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city 
that I gave you and your fathers, and cast 
you out of my presence: 

40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach 
upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall 
not be forgotten.

1. In ch. 25 is recorded the proph- 
ecy of the 70 years' captivity, and 
after that the destruction of Baby- 
lon and all the other nations which 
oppressed the Jews. 



1 'The Lord shewed me, and, behold, two 
baskets of figs were set before the temple of 
the Lord, after that Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king 
of Baby-Ion had carried away captive Jec-o- 
ni'ah the son of Je-hoi'a-kim king of Ju'dah, 
and the princes of Ju'dah, with the carpenters 
and smiths, from Je-ru'sa-lem, and had 
brought them to Baby-Ion. 

2 One basket had very good figs, even like 
the figs that are "first ripe: and the other bas- 
ket had very ''naughty figs, which could not be 
eaten, they were so bad. 

3 Then said the Lord unto me, What seest 
thou, Jer-e-mi'ah? And I said, Figs; the good 
figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that 
cannot be eaten, they are so evil. 

4 ""'Again the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

5 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is'ra-el; 
Like these good "figs, so will I "acknowledge 
them that are carried away captive of Ju'dah, 
whom I have sent out of this place into the 
land of the Chal-de'ans for their good. 

6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for 
good, and I will bring "them again to this 
land: and I 6 will build them, and not pull them 
down; and I will plant them, and not pluck 
them up. 

7 And I will give them c an heart to know 
me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be 
d my people, and I will be their God: for they 
shall return unto me with their whole heart. 

8 IT And as the evil figs, which cannot be 
eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the 
Lord, So will I give Zed-e-ki'ah the king of 
Ju'dah, and his princes, and the residue of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, that remain in this land, and them 
that dwell in the land of E'gypt: 

9 And I will deliver them f to be removed 
into all the kingdoms of the earth for their 
hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt 
''and a curse, in all places whither I shall 
drive them. 

10 And I will send the sword, the famine, 
and the pestilence, among them, till they be 
consumed from off the land that I gave unto 
them and to their fathers.

hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for 
the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your 
God with all your heart and with all your soul. (Dt. 13:1-3.) 

m. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same 
one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. (I Pet. 
4:10.) 

n. But I say r.nto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, 
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. (Mat. 12:36.) 

o. Which is not another; but" there be some that trouble you, and 
would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from 
heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have 
preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Gal. 1:7, 8.) As also in all 
his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things 
hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable 
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction 
(II Pet. 3:16.) 

p. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou 
hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no 
priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also 
forget thy children. (Hos. 4:6.) Therefore will I do unto this house, 
which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which 
I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will 
cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the 
whole seed of Ephraim. (Jer. 7:14. 15.) And he said unto me. Go in, 
and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. (Ez. 8:9.)

a. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all 
of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. (Heb. 
2:11.) 

b. Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant 



them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole 
soul. (Jer. 32:41.) And I will cause the captivity of Judah, and the 
captivity of Israel, to return, and will build them, as at the first. (Jer. 

c. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart 
of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all 
thy soul, that thou mayest live. (Dt. 30:6.) A new heart also will I 
give you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away 
the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give vou an heart of flesh. 
(Ez. 36:26.) 

d. And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered 
thee in the shadow of mine* hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay 
the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people. 
(Is. 51:16.) And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of 
Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in 
truth and in righteousness. (Zech. S:8.) 

e. The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: 
thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before 
them; and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. (Dt. 
28:25.) Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given 
them; and this -house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast 
out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among 
all people. (I Ks. 9:7.) Therefore thus saith the Lord: Ye have not 
hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and 
every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the 
Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine: and I will 
make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. (Jer. 34:1,.) 

f. And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and 
with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the king-

of Ju'dah, that was the first year of Neb-u- 
chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon; 

2 The which Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet spake 
unto all the people of Ju'dah, and to all the 
inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, 

3 From the thirteenth year of Jo-si'ah the 
son of A'mon king of Ju'dah, even unto this 
day, that is the three and twentieth year, the 
word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I 
have spoken unto you, rising early and speak- 
ing; but ye have not hearkened. 

4 : And the Lord hath sent unto you all his 
servants the prophets, rising early and send- 
ing them; but ye have not hearkened, nor in- 
clined your ear to hear. 

5 They said, °Turn ye again now every one 
from his evil way, and from the evil of your 
doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord 
hath given unto you and to your fathers for 
ever and ever: 

6 And go not after other gods to serve them, 
and to worship them, and provoke me not to 
anger with the works of your hands; and I 
will do you no hurt. 

7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith 
the Lord ; that ye might 6 provoke me to anger 
with the works of your hands to your own 
hurt. 

8 If Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
Because ye have not heard my words, 

9 Behold, I will send and °take all the fami- 
lies of the north, saith the Lord, and Neb-u- 
chad-rez'zar the king of Bab'y-lon, my servant, 
and will bring them against this land, and 
against the inhabitants thereof, and against 
all these nations round about, and will utterly 
destroy them, and make them an astonishment, 
and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. 

10 Moreover I will take from them the voice 
<*of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice 
of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, 
the sound of the millstones, and the light of 
the candle. 

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, 
and an astonishment; and these nations shall 
serve the king of Batfy-lon 3 seventy years. 

12 1f 4 And it shall come to pass, when Sev- 
enty years "are accomplished, that I will pun- 
ish the king of Bab'y-lon, and that nation, 
saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land 
of the Chal-de'an§, and will make it perpetual 
"desolations. 

13 And I will bring upon that land all my 
words which I have pronounced against it, 
even all that is written in this book, which 
Jer-e-mi'ah hath prophesied against all the 
nations. 

14 For many nations and great kings shall 
serve T themselves of them also: ^and I will

I send thee, to drink it. 

16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and 
be mad, because of the sword that I will send 
among them. 

17 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, 
and made all the nations to 8 drink, unto whom 
the Lord had sent me: 

18 To wit, a Je-ru'sa-lem, and the cities of 
Ju'dah, and the kings thereof, and the princes 
thereof, to make them a desolation, an aston- 
ishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this 
day; 

19 10 Pha'raoh king of E'gypt, and his serv- 
ants, and his princes, and all his people; 

20 And all the mingled people, and all the 
kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of 
the land of the Phi-lis'tine§, and Ash'ke-lon, 
and Az'zah, and Ek'ron, and the remnant of 
"Ash'dod, 

21 E'dom, and Mo'ab, and the children of 
Am'mon, 

22 And all the kings of Ty'rus, and all the 
kings of Zi'don, and the kings of the isles - 
which are beyond the sea, 

23 De'dan, and Te'ma, and Buz, and all that 
are in the utmost corners, 

24 And all the kings of 12 A-ra'bi-a, and all 
the kings of the mingled people that dwell in 
the desert, 

25 And all the kings of "Zim'ri, and all the 
kings of "E'lam, and all the kings of the 
Mede§, 

26 And all the kings "of the north, far and 
near, one with another, and all the kingdoms 
of the world, which are upon the face of the 
earth : and the king of She'shach shall drink 
after them. 

27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Is'ra-el; 
"s'Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and 
fall, and rise no more, because of the sword 
which I will send among you. 

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the 
cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou 
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
Ye shall certainly drink. 

29 For, lo, ''I begin to "bring evil on the 
city, which is called by my name, and should 
ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be 
unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon 
all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord 
of hosts. 

30 ls Therefore prophesy thou against them 
all these words, and say unto them, The Lord 
i shall roar from on high, and utter his voice 
from his holy habitation; he shall mightily 
roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, 
as they that tread the grapes, against all the 
inhabitants of the earth. 

31 A noise shall come even to the ends of 
the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy 
with the nations, he will plead with all w flesh; 



Chapter 25. 

a. Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah by all 
the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, 
and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law 
which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my 
servants the prophets. (II Ks. 17:13.) 

b. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not pro- 
voke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? (Jer. 7:19.) 

c. For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, 
saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his 
throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the 
walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. (Jer. 
1:15.) 

d. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new 
moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. (Hos. 2:11.) And 
the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice 
of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: 
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries 
were all nations deceived. (Rev. 18:23.) 

e. For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished 
at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in 
causing you to return to this place. (Jer. 29:10.) In the first year of 
his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, where- 
of the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would 
accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. (Dan. 9:2.) 



f. Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the 
bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense 
her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto 
her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of 
Israel. (Jer. 50:29.) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance be- 
longeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The 
Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) Wherefore, if meat make my 
brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I 
make my brother to offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) 

g. Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let 
thy foreskin be uncovered; the cup of the Lord's right hand shall be 
turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory. (Hab. 
2-16.) 

h. Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much 
more the wicked and the sinner. (Prov. 11:31.) For the time is come 
that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at 
us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (I 
Pet. 4:17.) 

i. The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy 
like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against 
his enemies. (Is. 42:13.) The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter 
his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: 
but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the 
children of Israel. (Joel 3:16.)

he will give them that are ivicked to the sword, 
saith the Lord. 

32 Thus saith the Lord cf hosts, Behold, 
evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and 
a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the 
coasts of the earth. 

33 And the slain of the Lord sliall be at 
that day from one end of the earth even unto 
the other end of the earth: they shall not be 
lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they 
shall be dung upon the ground, 

34 r Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wal- 
low "yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of 
the flock: for the days of your slaughter and 
of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye 
shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 

35 And -'the shepherds shall have no way 
to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 

36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and 
an howling of the principal of the flock, shall 
he heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pas- 
ture. 

37 And the peaceable habitations are cut 
down because of the fierce anger of the Lord. 

38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion : 
for their land is desolate because of the fierce- 
ness of the oppressor, and because of his 
fierce anger. 

CHAPTER 26. 
1 Jeremiah by promises and threatenings ex- 
horteth to repentance. 8 He is apprehend- 
ed, 10 and arraigned. 12 His apology. 16 
He is quit in judgment, by the example of 
Micah, 20 and of Urijah, 24 and by the 
care of Ahikam. 

1 x In the beginning of the reign of Je-hoi'a- 
kim the son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah came 
this word from the Lord, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord; Stand in the court 
of the Lord's house, and speak unto all the 
cities of Ju'dah, which "come to worship in the 
Lord's house, 6 all the words that I command 
thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word: 

3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every 
man from his evil way, that I may ^repent 
c me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto 
them because of the evil of their doings. 

4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord; d If ye will not hearken to me, to 
walk in my law, which I have set before you, 

5 To hearken to the words of my servants 
the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both 
rising up early, and sending them, but ye have 
not hearkened; 

6 Then will I make this house like 3e Shi'l6h, 
and will make this city a curse to all the 
nations of the earth. 

7 So the priests and the prophets and all

the people heard Jer-e-mi'ah speaking these 
words in the house of the Lord. 

8 *~ 'Now it came to pass, when Jer-e-mi'ah 
had made an end of speaking all that the Lord 
had commanded him to speak unto all the peo- 
ple, that the fpriests and the prophets and all 
the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely 
die. 

9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of 
the Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shi - 
loh, and this city shall be desolate without an 
inhabitant? And all the people were gathered 
against Jer-e-mi'ah in the house of the Lord. 

10 r When the princes of Ju'dah heard these 
things, then they came up from the king's 
house unto the house of the Lord, and sat 
down in the entry of the new gate of the 
Lord's house. 

11 Then spake the priests and the prophets 
unto the princes and to all the people, saying, 
This man is worthy to die ; for he hath prophe- 
sied against this city, as ye have heard with 
your ears. 

12 r Then spake Jer-e-mi'ah unto all the 
princes and to all the people, saying, The Lord 
sent me to prophesy against this house and 
against this city all the words that ye have 
heard. 

13 Therefore now amend your ways and 
your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord 
your God; and the Lord c will 5 repent him of 
the evil that he hath pronounced against you. 

14 As for me, behold, ^1 am in your hand: 
do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. 

15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put 
me to death, ye shall surely bring" ^innocent 
blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and 
upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth 
the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all 
these words in your ears. 

16 r Then said the princes and all the peo- 
ple unto the priests and to the prophets; This 
man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken 
to us in the name of the Lord our God. 

17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the 
land, and spake to all the assembly of the peo- 
ple, saying, 

18 Mi'cah the Mo'ras-thite prophesied in the 
: days of Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah, and spake 
I to all the people of Ju'dah, saying, Thus saith 
] the Lord of hosts; 'Zi'on shall be plowed like a 

field, and Je-ru'sa-lem shall become heaps, and 
the mountain of the house as the high places 
of a forest. 

19 Did Hez-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah and all 
Ju'dah put him at all to death? did he not 
fear the Lord, and besought the 'Lord, and the 
Lord ^repented °him of the evil which he had 
pronounced against them? 7 -'Thus might we 
procure great evil against our souls. 



j. Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong 
shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver him- 
self. (Amos 2:14.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. Three times thou shalt kefep a feast unto me in the year. (Ex. 
23:14.) But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out 
of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall 
ye seek, and thither thou shalt come. (Dt. 12:5.) 

b. Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall 
speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. (Ez. 
3:10.) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have com- 
manded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the 
world. Amen. (Mat. 28:20.) For I have not shunned to declare unto 
you all the counsel of God. (Acts 20:27.) 

c. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I hare created from 
the face of the earth, both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and 
the fowls of the air: for it repenteth me that I have made them. (Gen. 
6:7.) It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is 
turned back from following me, and hath not performed my command- 
ments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night. 
(I Sam. 15:11.) And he remembered for them his covenant, and re- 
pented according to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) And rend 
your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: 
for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, 
and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:13.) 

d. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the 
voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and 
his statutes, which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall 
come upon thee, and overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) 

e. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh. the tent which he 
placed among men. (Ps. 78:60.) But go ye now unto my place which 



was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to 
it for the wickedness of my people Israel. (Jer. 7:12.) And ye shall 
leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall 
slay thee, and call his servants by another name. (Is. 65:15.) 

f. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that 
speaketh uprightly. (Amos 5:10.) But the chief priests and elders per- 
suaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 
(Mat. 27:20.) 

g. And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and 
right unto thee to do unto us, do. (Josh. 9:25.) Then Zedekiah the king 
said. Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do 
any thing against you. (Jer. 3S:5.) 

h. If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, 
and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods 
to your hurt. (Jer. 7:6.) So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye 
are; for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of 
the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. 
iXiim. 35:33.) These six things doth the Lord hate; yea, seven are an 
abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that 
shed innocent blood. (Prov. 6:16, 17.) 

i. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and 
Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high 
places of the forest. (Mic. 3:12.) 

j. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the 
Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) The fear of the Lord is to 
hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward 
mouth, do I hate. (Prov. 8:13.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning 
of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his command- 
ments: his praise endureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) 

k. But if it be of God. ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be 
found even to fight against God. (Acts 5:39.)

20 c And there was also a man that prophe- 
sied in the name of the Lord, U-ri'jah the son 
of Shem-a-i'ah of Kir'jath-je'a-rlm, who 
prophesied against this city and against this 
land according to all the words of Jer-e-mi'ah : 

21 And when Je-hoi'a-kim the king, with 
all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard 
his words, the king sought to put him to death : 
but when U-ri'jah heard it, he was afraid, and 
fled, and went into E'gypt; 

22 And Je-hoi'a-kim the king sent men into 
E'gypt, namely, El'na-than the son of Ach'bor, 
and certain men with him into E'gypt. 

23 And they fetched forth U-ri'jah out of 
E'gypt, and brought him unto Je-hoi'a-kim the 
king; who slew him with the sword, and cast 
his dead body into the graves of the common 
people. 

24 Nevertheless the hand of A-hi'kam the 
son of Sha'phan was with Jer-e-mi'ah, that 
they should not give him into the hand of the 
people to put him to death. 

CHAPTER 27. 
1 He prophesieth the subduing of the neigh- 
bour kings unto Nebuchadnezzar. 8 He ex- 
horteth them to yield. 19 He foretelleth the 
remnant of the vessels shall be carried to 
Babylon. 

1 J In the beginning of the reign of "Je-hoi'a- 
kim the son of Jo-sl'ah king of Ju'dah came 
this word unto Jer-e-nri'ah from the Lord, 
saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord to me; Make thee 
bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, 

3 And send them to the king of E'dom, and 
to the king of Mo'ab, and to the king of the 
Am'mon-ites, and to the king of Ty'rus, and 
to the king of Zi'don, by the hand of the mes- 
sengers which come to Je-ru'sa-lem unto Zed- 
e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah; 

4 And command them to say unto their 
masters, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el; Thus shall ye say unto your mas- 
ters ; 

5 a I have made the earth, the man and the 
beast that are upon the ground, by my great 
power and by my outstretched arm, and ''have 
given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. 

6 And now have I given all these lands into 
the hand of Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king of 
Bab'y-lon, °my servant; and the beasts of the 
field have I given him also to serve him. 

7 And all nations shall serve him, and his 
son, and his son's son, until the very time of 
his land come: and then many nations and 
great kings shall serve themselves of him. 

8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation 
and kingdom which will not serve the same 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king of Bab'y-lon, and 
that will not put their neck under the yoke 
of the king of Bab'y-lon, that nation will I 
punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and 
with the famine, and with the pestilence, until 
I have consumed them by his hand.

ets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dream- 
ers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sor- 
cerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall 
not serve the king of Bab'y-lon : 

10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to re- 
move you far from your land; and that I 
should drive you out, and ye should perish. 

11 But the nations that bring their neck un- 
der the yoke of the king of Bab'y-lon, and 
serve him, those will I let remain still in their 
own land, saith the Lord; and they shall till 
it, and dwell therein. 

12 1f *I spake also to Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'- 
dah according to all these words, saying, Bring 
your necks under the yoke of the king of 
Bab'y-lon, and serve him and his people, and 
live. 

13 d Why will ye die, 5 thou and thy people, 
by the sword, by the famine, and by the pesti- 
lence, as the Lord hath spoken against the na- 
tion that will not serve the king of Bab'y-lon? 

14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of 
the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye 
shall not serve the king of Bab'y-lon: for they 
prophesy c a lie unto you. 

15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, 
yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I 
might drive you out, and that ye might per- 
ish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto 
vou. 

16 "Also I spake to the priests and to all 
this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; 
Hearken not to the words of your prophets 
that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the 
^vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly 
be brought again from Bab'y-lon: for they 
prophesy a lie unto you. 

17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king 
of Bab'y-lon, and live: wherefore should this 
city be laid waste? 

18 But if they be prophets, and if the word 
of the Lord be with them, let them now make 
"intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the 
vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, 
and in the house of the king of Ju'dah, and 
at Je-ru'sa-lem, go not to Bab'y-lon. 

19 If For thus saith the Lord of hosts con- 
cerning the pillars, and concerning the 'sea, 
and concerning the bases, and concerning the 
residue of the vessels that remain in this city, 

20 Which Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king of Bab'y- 
lon took not, when he carried away captive 
Jec-o-nl'ah the son of Je-hoi'a-kim king of 
Ju'dah from Je-ru'sa-lem to Bab'y-lon, and all 
the nobles of Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem; 

21 Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Is'ra-el, concerning the vessels that re- 
main ''in the house of the Lord, and in the 
house of the king of Ju'dah and of Je-ru'sa- 
lem; 

22 They shall be carried to Bab'y-lon, and 
there shall they be until the day that I visit 
them, saith the Lord; then will I bring them 
up, and restore them to this place. 



Chapter 27. 

a. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my 
hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I com- 
manded. (Is. 45:12.) 

b. The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's; but the earth hath 
he given to the children of men. (Ps. 115:16.) This matter is by the 
decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; 
to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the 
kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up 
over it the basest of men. (Dan. 4:17.) 

c. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, 
my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; 
and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. (Jer. 43:10.) Son of 
man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great 
service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder 
was peeled; yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the 
service that he had served against it. (Ez. 29:18.) 

d. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have 
transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will 
ye die, O house of Israel? (Ez. 18:31.) 

e. Then the Lord said unto me. The prophets prophesy lies in my 



name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake 
unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a 
thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. (Jer.- 14:14.) 

f. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with 
part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land 
of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the 
treasure-house of his god. (Dan. 1:2.) 

g. Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and 
he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, 
know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. 
(Gen. 20:7.) Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven 
rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt 
offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept; 
lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me 
the thing which is right, like my servant Job. (Job 42:8.) Confess your 
faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. 
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Js. 
5:16.) 

h. Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and 
he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: 
and the Irlls d ; d tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of 
the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is 
stretched out still. (Is. 5:25.)

CHAPTER 28. 
1 Hananiah prophesieth falsely the return of 
the vessels, and of Jeconiah. 5 Jeremiah 
sheweth that the event will declare who are 
true prophets. 12 He telleth of an iron 
yoke. 

1 J And it came to pass the same year, in 
the beginning of the reign of Zed-e-ki ah king 
of Ju'dah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth 
month, that Han-a-ni'ah the son of A'zur the 
prophet, which was of Gib'e-on, spake unto me 
in the house of the Lord, in the presence of 
the priests and of all the people, saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el, saying, I have broken the yoke of 
the king of Baby-Ion. 

3 Within two full years will I bring again 
into this place "all the vessels of the Lord's 
house, that Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king of Bab'j'- 
lon took away from this place, and carried 
them to Baby-Ion: 

4 And I will bring again to this place Jec-o- 
ni'ah the son of Je-hoi'a-kim king of Ju'dah, 
with all the captives of Ju'dah, that went into 
Baby-Ion, saith the Lord: for I will break the 
yoke of the king of Baby-Ion. 

5 H "Then the prophet Jer-e-mi'ah said unto 
the prophet Han-a-ni'ah in the presence of 
the priests, and in the presence of all the peo- 
ple that stood in the house of the Lord, 

6 Even the prophet Jer-e-mi'ah said, Amen: 
the Lord do so: the Lord perform 6 thy words 
which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the 
vessels of the Lord's house, and all that is' car- 
ried away captive, from Bab'y-lon into this 
place. 

7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that 
I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all 
the people; 

8 The prophets that have been before me 
and before thee of old prophesied both against 
many countries, and against great kingdoms, 
of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 

9 c The prophet which prophesieth of peace, 
when the word of the prophet shall come to 
pass, then shall the prophet be known, that 
the Lord hath truly sent him. 

10 r Then Han-a-ni'ah the prophet took the 
yoke from off the prophet Jer-e-mi'ah's neck, 
3 and brake it. 

11 And Han-a-ni'ah spake in the presence 
of all the people, saying. Thus saith the Lord; 
Even so will I break the yoke of Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar king of Bab'y-lon from the neck of all 
nations within the space of two full years. 
And the prophet Jer-e-mi'ah went ^his way. 

12 r Then the word of the Lord came unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet, after that Han-a-ni'ah 
the prophet had broken the yoke from off the 
neck of the prophet Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

13 Go and tell Han-a-ni'ah, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes 
of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes 
4 of iron. 



Ch. 28. B. C. B96. 



1. In eh. 28 is recorded the sequel 
to the prophecies of ch. 27. Hananiah 
breaks the yoke of Jer., thus trying to 
show that the prophecy is a false one 
and that Neb.'s yoke shall be broken. 
Jer. foretells that yokes of iron will 
succeed those of wood and that Han- 
aniah shall die. Vs. 1-4 give Hau- 
aniah's false prophecy. 



2. Vs. 5-11. Jer.'s gentle answer. 



3. By his act showing an impetu- 
ous unwillingness to await develop- 
ments. 



4. Emblems of the most bitter 
bondage. 



5. This part of the prophecy was 
fulfilled two months later, i. e., in the 
seventh month. 



Ch. 29. B. C. 599-598. 



1. Ch. 29 Is a letter written by 
Jer. to the Jews who have been taken 
captive to Babylon. Hananiah. and 
others like him. had been falsely tell- 
ing them that Xeb.*s yoke would be 
speedily destroyed and they would be 
released. Jer. writes them this letter 
to set aright all false notions which 
they may have. 



14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el; e I have put a yoke of iron upon 
the neck of all these nations, that they may 
serve Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king of Baby-Ion; 
and they shall serve him: and I have given 
him the beasts of the field also. 

15 H Then said the prophet Jer-e-mi'ah unto 
Han-a-ni'ah the prophet, Hear now, Han-a- 
ni'ah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but ''thou 
makest this people to trust in a lie. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, 
I will cast thee from off the face of the earth : 
this year thou shalt s die, because thou hast 
taught ^rebellion against the Lord. 

17 So Han-a-ni'ah the prophet died the 
same year in the seventh month. 

CHAPTER 29. 
1 Jeremiah sendeth a letter to the captives in 
Babylon not to believe the dreams of their 
prophets, 10 and that they shall return 
after seventy years. 20 He sheweth the 
fearful end of Ahab and Zedekiah. 24 
Shemaiah writeth a letter against Jeremiah. 
30 Jeremiah readeth his doom. 

1 'Now these are the words of the letter that 
Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet sent from Je-ru'sa- 
lem unto the residue of the elders which were 
carried away captives, and to the priests, and 
to the prophets, and to all the people whom 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar had carried away captive 
from Je-ru'sa-lem to Bab'y-lon; 

2 (After that Jec-o-ni'ah the king, and the 
queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Ju'dah 
and Je-ru'sa-lem, and the carpenters, and the 
smiths, were departed from Je-ru'sa-lem;) 

3 By the hand of El'a-sah the son of Sha- 
phan, and Gem-a-ri'ah the son of Hil-ki'ah, 
(whom Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah sent unto 
Bab'y-lon to Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king of Bab'- 
y-lon,) saying, 

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Is'ra-el, unto all that are carried away cap- 
tives, whom I have caused to be carried away 
from Je-ru'sa-lem unto Bab'y-lon; 

5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and 
plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 

6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daugh- 
ters; and take wives for your sons, and give 
your daughters to husbands, that they may 
bear sons and daughters; that ye may be in- 
creased there, and not diminished. 

7 And a seek the peace of the city whither 
I have caused you to be carried away captives, 
b and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the 
peace thereof shall ye have peace. 

8 If For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of is'ra-el; Let not your prophets and 
your diviners, that be in the midst of you, de- 
ceive you, neither hearken to your dreams 
which ye cause to be dreamed. 

9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my 
name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord. 

10 r For thus saith the Lord, That after 



Chapter 28. 

a. And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the 
Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the 
vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple 
of the Lord, as the Lord had said. (II Ks. 24:13.) 

b. As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow 
thee: neither have I desired the woeful day: thou knowest: that which 
came out of my lips was right before thee. (Jer. 17:16.) 

c. When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing 
follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not 
spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not 
be afraid of him. (Dt. 18:22.) To the law and to the testimony: if 
they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light 
in them. (Is. 8:20.) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits 
whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out 
into the world. (I Jno. 4:1.) 

d. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like 
unto him. (Prov. 26:4.) 

e. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, which the Lord shall 
eend against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in 
want of all things: and he shall put a voke of iron upon thy neck, until 
he have destroyed thee. (Dt. 28:48.) 

f. And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go 
into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, 
and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast 



prophesied lies. (Jer. 20:6.) Because with lies ye have made the heart 
of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the 
hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by 
promising him life. (Ez. 13:22.) 

g. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to 
death : because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your 
God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you 
out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the 
Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in: so shalt thou put the evil 
away from the midst of thee. (Dt. 13:5.) 

Chapter 29. 

a. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, in- 
tercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. (I Tim. 2:1.) 

b. That they may offer- sacrifices of sweet savors unto the God of 
heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons. (Ezra 6:i0.) 
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet 
and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (I Tim. 2:2.) 

c. Then the Lord said unto me. The prophets prophesy lies in my 
name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake 
unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a 
thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. (Jer. 14:14.) I have not 
sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they 
prophesied. (Jer. 23:21.) Let no man deceive you with vain words: 
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children 
of disobedience. (Eph. 5:6.)

''seventy years be accomplished at Baby-Ion I 
will visit you, and perform my good Svord to- 
ward you, in causing you to return to this 
place. 

11 For I know the thoughts that I think to- 
ward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, 
and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 

12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall 
go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto 
you. 

13 And r ye shall seek me, and find me, when 
ye shall search for me with all your heart. 

14 And 'I will be found of you, saith the 
Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, 
and 'Jl will gather you from all the nations, 
and from all the places whither I have driven 
you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you 
again into the place whence I caused you to 
be carried away captive. 

15 1f Because ye have said, The Lord hath 
raised us up prophets in Bab'y-lon; 

16 Know that thus saith the Lord of the 
king that sitteth upon the throne of Da'vid, 
and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, 
and of your brethren that are not gone forth 
with you into captivity; 

17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I 
will send upon them the sword, the famine, 
and the pestilence, and will make them like vile 
figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. 

18 And I will persecute them with the 
sword, with the famine, and with the pesti- 
lence, and ''will deliver them to be removed 
to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a 
curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, 
and a reproach, among all the nations whither 
I have driven them: 

19 Because they have not hearkened to my 
words, saith the Lord, which I sent unto them 
by my servants the prophets, rising up early 
and sending them ; but ye would not hear, saith 
the Lord. 

20 If Hear ye therefore the word of the 
Lord, all ye of the captivity, whom I have 
sent from Je-r*'sa-lpm to Bab'y-lon: 

21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el, of A'hab the son of Kol-a-i'ah, and 
of Zed-e-ki'ah the son of Ma-a-se'iah, which 
prophesy 'a lie unto you in my name; Behold, 
I will deliver them into the hand of Neb-u- 
chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon; and he shall 
slay them before your eyes; 

22 And of them shall be taken up a curse 
by all the captivity of Ju'dah which are in 
Bab'y-lon, saying, The Lord make thee like 
Zed-e-ki'ah and like A'hab, whom the king of 
Bab'y-lon 'roasted in the fire; 

23 Because •'they have committed villany in 



2. Promise of a return. 



3. A Chaldean punishment. (Dan. 
3:6) — "And whoso falleth not down 
and worshipeth shall the same hour 
be cast into the midstt of a burning 
liery furnace." 



4. That is, endeavoring to oppose 
God's will as to the time. 



Ch. 30. B. C. 606. 



1. Beginning with ch. 30 and ex- 
tending to ch. 34, Jer.'s vision is 
raised beyond the sin and sorrows of 
his people and centered upon a closer 
union of tbem with God. and dwells 
particularly on the promises of pros- 
perity before them. A portion, at 
least, of these prophecies were writ- 
ten in the tenth year of Zedekiah's 
reign, when the sin and punishment 
of the people was at its severest. 
Chs. 30 and 31 have been called "a 
triumphal hymn of Israel's salva- 
tion." 



2. This prophecy was for all the 
people of God everywhere, hence must 
be written. 



is'ra-el, and have committed adultery with 
their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying 
words in my name, which I have not com- 
manded them; even I know, and am a ^'witness, 
saith the Lord. 

24 If Thus shalt thou also speak to Shem-a- 
I'ah the Ne-hel'a-mite, saying, 

25 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Is'ra-el, saying, Because thou hast sent 
letters in thy name unto all the people that 
are at Je-ru'sa-lem, and to Zeph-a-ni'ah the 
son of Ma-a-se'iah the priest, and to all the 
priests, saying, 

26 The Lord hath made thee priest in the 
stead of Je-hoi'a-da the priest, that ye should 
be officers in the house of the Lord, for every 
man that is mad, and maketh himself a 
prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, 
and in the stocks. 

27 Now therefore why hast thou not re- 
proved Jer-e-mi'ah of An'a-thoth, which mak- 
eth himself a prophet to you? 

28 For therefore he sent unto us in Bab'y- 
lon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye 
houses, and dwell in them; and plant gar- 
dens, and eat the fruit of them. 

29 And Zeph-a-ni'ah the priest read this 
letter in the ears of Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet. 

30 If Then came the word of the Lord unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

31 Send to all them of the captivity, say- 
ing, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shem-a- 
I'ah the Ne-hel'a-mite; Because that Shem-a- 
i'ah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him 
not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: 

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, 
I will punish Shem-a-i'ah the Ne-hel'a-mite, 
and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell 
among this people; neither shall he behold the 
good that I will do for my people, saith the 
Lord; because he hath taught 4 rebellion against 
the Lord. 

CHAPTER 30. 
1 God sheweth Jeremiah the return of the 
Jews. 4 After their trouble they shall have 
deliverance. 10 He comforteth Jacob. 18 
Their return shall be gracious. 20 Wrath 
shall fall on the wicked. 

1 'The word that came to Jer-e-mi'ah from 
the Lord, saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord God of Is'ra-el, 
saying, a Write 2 thee all the words that I have 
spoken unto thee in a book. 

3 For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that B I will bring again the captivity of my 
people Is'ra-el and Ju'dah, saith the Lord: and 
I will cause them to return to the land that I 
gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. 



d. To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until 
the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: tor as long as she lay desolate she 
kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. (II Chr. 36:21.) Now 
in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by 
the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit 
of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his 
kingdom, and put it also in writing. (Ezra 1:1.) And it shall come to 
pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king 
of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the 
land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. (Jer. 
25:12.) 

e. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) For thou, Lord, hast not 
forsaken them that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) The Lord is with you, while 
ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye 
forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I sought the Lord, and 
he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Ps. 34:4.) And they 
shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto 
me with their whole heart. (Jer. 24:7.) 

f. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto 
them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 
(Dt. 4:7.) For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a 
time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters 
they shall not come nigh unto him. (Ps. 32:6.) God is our refuge and 
strength, a very present help in trouble. (Ps. 46:1.) Seek ye the Lord 
while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. (Is. 55:6.) 

g. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries 
whither I have driven them, and I will bring them again to their folds; 
and they shall be fruitful and increase (3). But, The Lord liveth, 
which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out 
of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; 
and they shall dwell in their own land. (Jer. 23:3, 8.) 



h. The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: 
thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before 
them; and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. (Dt. 
28:25.) 

i. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as 
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) 

j. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: 
they commit adultery, and walk in lies; they strengthen also the hands 
of evil-doers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all 
of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 
(Jer. 23:14.) 

k. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift 
witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against 
false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, 
the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from 
his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:5.) Marriage 
is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulter- 
ers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

Chapter 30. 

a. Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, 
that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever. (Is. 30:8.) 

b. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and 
they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant 
vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and 
eat the fruit of them. (Amos 9:14.) Men shall buy fields for money, 
and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land 
of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of 
Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, 
and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, 
saith the Lord. (Jer. 32:44.)

4 H 3 And these are the words that the Lord 
spake concerning Is'ra-el and concerning Ju'- 
dah. 

5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard 
a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 

6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth 
travail with child? wherefore do I see every 
man with his hands on his loins, as a woman 
in travail, and all faces are turned into pale- 
ness? 

7 Alas ! for that May is great, c so that none 
is like it; it is even the time of Ja'cob's trou- 
ble; but he shall be saved out of it. 

8 "For it shall come to pass in that day, saith 
the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke 
from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, 
and strangers shall no more serve themselves 
of him: 

9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, 
and "Da'vid Hheir king, whom I will e raise up 
unto them. 

10 r Therefore fear thou not, O my servant 
Ja'cob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, 
Is'ra-el : for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and 
thy seed from the land of their captivity; and 
Ja'cob shall return, and shall be in rest, and 
be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. 

11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to 
save thee: though I make a full end of all 
nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will 
I not make a full end of thee: but I will cor- 
rect thee ^in measure, and will not leave thee 
^altogether unpunished. 

12 Tor thus saith the Lord, -°Thy bruise is 
"incurable, and thy wound is grievous. 

13 There is none to plead thy cause, that 
thou mayest be bound up : thou hast no healing 
medicines. 

14 All thy "lovers have forgotten thee; they 
seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with 
the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement 
of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine in- 
iquity; because thy sins were increased. 

15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy 
sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine 
iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I 
have done these things unto thee. 

16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall 
be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every 
one of them, shall go into captivity; and they 
that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that 
prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I 
will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; 
because they called thee an Outcast, saying, 
This is Zi'on, whom no man seeketh after. 

18 T u Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will 
bring again the captivity of Ja'cob's tents, and 
have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city

1 "At the same time, saith the Lord, will I 
be the God of all the families of Is'ra-el, and 
they shall a be my people. 

2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which 
were left of the sword found grace in the 
"wilderness; even is'ra-el, when I went to cause 
him to rest. 

3 The Lcrd hath appeared of old unto me, 
saying, Yea, 6 I have loved thee with an ever- 
lasting love: therefore with lovingkindness 
have I drawn thee. 

4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be 
built, O virgin of is'ra-el: thou shalt again be 
adorned with thy 3 tabrets, and shalt go forth 
in the dances of them that make merry. 

•5 c Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the 
mountains of Sa-ma'ri-a : the planters shall 
plant, and shall eat them as common things. 

6 For there shall be a day, that the watch- 
men upon the mount E'phra-im shall cry, Arise 
ye, and let us go up to 4 Zi'6n unto the Lord 
our God. 

7 Tor thus saith the Lord; d Sing with glad- 
ness for Ja'cob, and shout among the chief of 
the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O 
Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Is'ra-el. 

8 Behold, I will bring them from the north 
country, and gather them from the coasts of 
the earth, and with them the blind and the 
lame, the woman with child and her that tra- 
vaileth with child together: a great company 
shall return 6 thither. 

9 They e shall come with weeping, and with 
supplications will I lead them: I will cause 
them to walk by the rivers of waters in a 



c. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which 
standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of 
trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same 
time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that 
shall be found written in the book. (Dan. 12:1.) 

d. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall 
live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure 
mercies of David. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, 
a leader and commander to the people. (Is. 55:3, 4.) 

e. And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of 
his servant David. (Luke 1:69.) Therefore being a prophet, and know- 
ing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his 
loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. 
(Acts 2:30.) 

f. O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy 
hot displeasure. (Ps. 6:1.) In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou 
wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east 
wind. (Is. 27:8.) 

g. But they mocked the messengers of God. and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his 
people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) 

h. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion 
with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy 
and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Is. 35:10.)

Even tomorrow the Lord w r ill show who are his, and who is holy: and 
will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom be hath chosen

j. And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a 
God. (Ex. 6:7.) And I will say to them which were not my people. 
Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. (Hos. 2:23.) 
They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my 
people; and they shall say, The Lord is my God. (Zech. 13:9.)

plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. (Is. 65:21.) And I will bring

straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: 
for I am a father to Is'ra-el, and E'phra-im is 
my firstborn. 

10 If Hear the word of the Lord, ye na- 
tions, and declare it in the isles afar off, and 
say, He that scattered Is'ra-el ''will gather 
him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his 
flock. 

11 For the Lord hath redeemed Ja'cob, and 
ransomed him from the hand of him that was 
stronger than he. 

12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the 
height of Zl'on, and shall flow together to #the 
goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, 
and for oil, and for the young of the flock and 
of the herd: and their soul shall be as a wa- 
tered garden; ''and they shall not sorrow any 
more at all. 

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, 
both young men and old together: for I will 
turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort 
them, and make them rejoice from their sor- 
row. 

14 And I will 7 satiate the soul of the priests 
with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied 
with my goodness, saith the Lord. 

15 *t, Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard 
in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; 
Rd'hel weeping for her children refused to be 
comforted for her children, because they were 
not. 

16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice 
from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for 
thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; 
and they shall come again from the land of 
the enemy. 

17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the 
Lord, that thy children shall come again to 
their own border. 

18 If I have surely heard E'phra-im bemoan- 
ing himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and 
I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to 
the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; 
for thou art the Lord my God. 

19 Surely 'after that I was turned, I re- 
pented; and after that I was instructed, I 
smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, 
even confounded, because I did bear the re- 
proach of my youth. 

20 Is E'phra-im my dear son? is he a pleas- 
ant child? for since I spake against him, I do 
earnestly remember him still: 'therefore my 
bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have 
mercy upon him, saith the Lord. 

21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high 
heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, 
even the way which thou wentest: turn again, 
virgin of is'ra-el, turn again to these thy 
cities. 

22 K How long wilt thou go about, thou 
backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath cre- 
ated a new thing in the earth, A woman s shall 
compass a man.

Is'ra-el; As °yet they shall use this speech in

Lord bless thee, O habitation of justice, and

24 And there shall dwell in Ju'dah itself, 
and in all the cities thereof together, husband- 
men, and they that go forth with flocks. 

25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I 
have replenished every sorrowful soul. 

26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld ; and my 
sleep was sweet unto me. 

27 If Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that I will sow the house of Is'ra-el and the 
house of Ju'dah with the seed of man, and 
with the seed of beast. 

28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I 
have ^'watched over them, to pluck up, and to 
break down, and to throw down, and to des- 
troy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, 
to build, and to plant, saith the Lord. 

29 In those days they shall say no more, 
The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the 
children's teeth are set on edge. 

30 'But every one shall die for his own 
iniquity : every man that eateth the sour grape, 
his teeth shall be set on edge. 

31 % Behold, the "days come, saith the Lord, 
that I will make a 12 new covenant with the 
house of Is'ra-el, and with the house of Ju dah : 

32 Not according to the covenant that I 
made xoith their fathers in the day that I took 
them by the hand to bring them out of the 
land of E'gypt; which my covenant they brake, 
although I was an husband unto them, saith 
the Lord: 

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will 
make with the house of Is'ra-el; After those 
days, saith the Lord, m I will put my law in 
their "inward parts, and write it in their 
hearts; n and will be their God, and they shall 
a be my people. 

34 And they shall teach no more every man 
his neighbour, and every man his brother, say- 
ing, Know the Lord: for °they shall all know 
me, from the least of them unto the greatest 
of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their 
iniquity, and I will remember their sin no 
more. 

35 f Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the 
sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of 
the moon and of the stars for a light by night, 
which divideth the sea when the waves thereof 
roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: 

36 If those ordinances depart from before 
me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Is'ra-el 
also shall cease from being a nation before me 
for ever. 

37 Thus saith the Lord; Plf heaven above 
can be measured, and the foundations of the 
earth searched out beneath, I will cast off all 
the seed of Is'ra-el for all that they have done, 
saith the Lord. 

38 If Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that the city shall be built to the Lord from 
the tower of Ha-nan'e-el unto the gate of the 
corner. 

39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth 
over against it upon the hill Ga'reb, and shall 
compass about to Go'ath. 



f. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather the lambs 
with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those 
that are with young. (Is. 40:11.) 

g. Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord 
their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his good- 
ness in the latter days. (Hos. 3:5.) For the Lamb which is in the 
midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living 
fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 
(Rev. 7:17.) 

h. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion 
with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain 
joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Is. 35:10.) 
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be 
no more death, neither sorrow, nor, crying, neither shall there be any 
more pain: for the former things are" passed away. (Rev. 21:4.) 

i. And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice, 
according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, 
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. (Dt. 30:2.) 

j. Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of 
thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the 
sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they re- 



strained? (Is. 63:15.) How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I 
deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set 
thee as Zeboim? Mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are 
kindled together. (Hos. 11:8.) 

k. Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all 
the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall he consumed by 
the sword and by the famine, Until there be an end of them. (Jer. 44:27.)

render to every man according to his deeds. (Rom. 2:6.) 

m. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my 
heart. (Ps. 40:8.) And I will give them one heart, and I will put a 
new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, 
and will give them an heart of flesh. (Ez. 11:19.) 

n. And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. (Jer. 30:22.) 

o. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall 
be the peace of thy children. (Is. 54:13.) It is written in the Prophets, 
And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath 
heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. (Jno.. 6:45.)

CHAPTER 32. 
1 Jeremiah, being imprisoned by Zedekiah, 6 
buyeth Hauameel's field. 13 Baruch must 
preserve the evidences, as tokens of the peo- 
ple's return. 26 God confirmeth the captiv- 
ity for their sins. 

1 'The word that came to Jer-e-mi'ah from 
the Lord in the tenth year of Zed-e-ki'ah king 
of Ju'dah, which was the eighteenth year of 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar. 

2 For then the king of Baby-Ion's army 
besieged Je-ru'sa-lem: and Jer-e-mi'ah the 
prophet was shut up in the court "of the prison, 
which was in the king of Ju'dah's house. 

3 For Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah had shut 
him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, 
and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
give this city into the hand of the king of 
Bab'y-lon, and he shall take it; 

4 And Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah shall not 
escape out of the hand of the Chal-de'an§, but 
shall surely be delivered into the hand of the 
king of Bab'y-lon, and shall speak with him 
mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his 
eyes; 

5 And he shall lead Zed-e-ki'ah to Bab'y-lon, 
and there shall he be °until T visit him, saith 
the Lord: though b ye fight with the Chal-de'- 
an§, ye shall not prosper. 

6 ![ 4 And Jer-e-mi'ah said, The word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

7 Behold, Ha-nam'e-el the son of Shal'lum 
thine r 'uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy 
thee my field that is in An'a-thoth: for the 
c right of redemption is thine to buy it. 

8 So Ha-nam'e-el mine uncle's son came to 
me in the court of the prison according to the 
word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my 
field, I pray thee, that is in An'a-thoth, which 
is in the country of Ben'ja-min: for the right 
of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is 
thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew this 
was the word of the Lord. 

9 And I bought the field of Ha-nam'e-el my 
uncle's son, that was in An'a-thoth, and 
weighed him the money, even Seventeen shek- 
els of silver. 

10 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed 
it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the 
money in the balances. 

11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, 
both that which was sealed according to the 
law and custom, and that which was open: 

12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase 
unto Ba'ruch the son of Ne-ri'ah, the son of 
Ma-a-se'iah, in the sight of Ha-nam'e-el mine 
uncle's son, and in the presence of the wit-

nesses that subscribed the book of the pur- 
chase, before all the Jews that sat in the 
court of the prison. 

13 IT And I charged Ba'ruch before them, 
saying, 

14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Is'ra-el; Take these evidences, this evidence of 
the purchase, both which is sealed, and this 
evidence which is open; and put them in an 
earthen vessel, that they may continue many 
days. 

15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Is'ra-el; Houses and fields and vineyards 
shall be possessed again in this land. 

16 H 7 Now when I had delivered the evidence 
of the purchase unto Ba'ruch the son of Ne- 
ri'ah, d I prayed unto the Lord, saying, 

17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the 
heaven and the earth by thy great power and 
stretched out arm, and there is nothing too 
s hard for thee: 

18 Thou shewest c lovingkindness unto thou- 
sands, and recompensest the iniquity of the 
fathers into the bosom of their children after 
them: the Great, 'the Mighty God, the Lord of 
hosts, is his name, 

19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: 
for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of 
the sons of men: to give every one according 
to his ways, and according to the fruit of his 
doings : 

20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the 
land of E'gypt, even unto this day, and in Is'- 
ra-el, and among other men; and hast made 
thee a name, as at this day; 

21 And ^hast brought^ forth thy people Is'- 
ra-el out of the land of E'gypt with signs, and 
with wonders, and with a strong hand, and 
with a stretched out arm, and with great ter- 
ror; 

22 And hast given them this land, which 
thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, 
A a land flowing with milk and honey; 

23 And they came in, and possessed it; but 
'they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in 
thy law; they have done nothing of all that 
thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou 
hast caused all this evil to come upon them: 

24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto 
the city to take it; and the city is given into 
the hand of the Chal-de'ans, that fight against 
it, because of the sword, and of the famine, 
and of the pestilence: and what thou hast 
spoken -'is come to pass; and, behold, thou 
seest it. 

25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, 
Buy thee the field for money, and take wit- 
nesses; for the city is given into the hand of 
the Chal-de'an§. 

26 f "Then came the word of the Lord unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all 
flesh : is there any thing too hard for me? 

28 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold. I

strangers pass through her any more. (Joel 3:17.) 

Chapter 32. 

a. They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until 
the day that I visit them, saith the Lord: then will I bring them up, 
and restore them to this place. (Jer. 27:22.) 

b. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the 
Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold. I will 
turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye 
fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which 
besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst 
of this city. (Jer. 21:4.) 

c. And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the in- 
habitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, 
redeem it; but if thou will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: 
for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am after thee. And 
he said, I will redeem it. (Ruth 4:4.) 

d. I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and sup- 
plications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes. (Dan. 9:3.) The Lord 
is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in 
truth. (Ps. 145:18.) Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God 
in the heavens. (Lam. 3:41.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and 
ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one

knocketh it shall be opened. (Mat. 7:7, S.) 

e. And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and 
keep my commandments. (Ex. 20:6.) Keeping mercy for thousands, 
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means 
clear the guilty. (Ex. 34:7.)

ernment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Won- 
derful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince 
of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) 

g. Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and 
I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I 
will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched- 
out arm, and with great judgments. (Ex. 6:6.) And brought out Israel 
from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 136:11.) 

h. And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the 
Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a 
large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. (Ex. 3:8.) 

i. Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, 
and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets w 7 hich testi-

will give this city into the hand of the Chal- 
de'ans, and into the hand of Neb-u-chad-rez'- 
zar king of Bab'y-lon, and he shall take it : 

29 And the Chal-de'an§, that fight against 
this city, shall come and set fire on this city, 
and burn it with the houses, *-'upon whose roofs 
they have offered incense unto Ba'al, and 
poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to 
provoke me to anger. 

30 For the children of Is'ra-el and the chil- 
dren of Ju'dah have only done evil before me 
from their youth: for the children of Is'ra-el 
have only provoked me to anger with the work 
of their hands, saith the Lord. 

31 For this city hath been to me as a provo- 
cation of mine anger and of my fury from the 
day that they built it even unto this day; 
'that I should remove it from before my face, 

32 Because of all the evil of the children of 
Is'ra-el and of the children of Ju'dah, which 
they have done to provoke me to anger, they, 
their kings, their princes, their priests, and 
their prophets,' and the men of Ju'dah, and the 
inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

33 And they have turned unto me the back, 
and not the face: though I taught them, '"ris- 
ing up early and teaching them, yet they have 
not hearkened to receive instruction. 

34 But they "set their "abominations in the 
house, which is called by my name, to defile it. 

35 And they built the high places of Ba'al, 
which are in the valley of the son of Hin'nom, 
to cause their sons and their daughters to pass 
through the fire unto Mo'lech; which I com- 
manded them not, neither came it into my 
mind, that they should do this abomination, to 
cause Ju'dah to sin. 

36 II And now therefore thus saith the Lord, 
the God of Is'ra-el, concerning this city, where- 
of ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand 
of the king of Bab'y-lon by the sword, and by 
the famine, and by the pestilence; 

37 Behold, I will gather them out of all 
countries, whither I have driven them in mine 
anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; 
and I will bring them again unto this place, 
and I will cause them °to dwell safely: 

38 And they shall be my people, and I will 
be their God: 

39 And I will give them, one heart, and one 
way, that they may fear me for ever, for the 
good of them, and of their children after them: 

40 And I will make an everlasting covenant 
with them, that I will not turn away from 
them, to do them good; but I will put my fear 
in their hearts, that they shall not depart 
from me.

good, and I will plant them in this land as-

will I bring upon them all the good that I 
have promised them. 

43 And fields shall be bought in this land, 
whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or 
beast; it is given into the hand of the Chal- 
de'ans. 

44 Men shall buy fields for money, and sub- 
scribe evidences, and seal them, and take wit- 
nesses in the land of Ben'ja-min, and in the 
places about Je-ru'sa-lem, and in the cities of 
Ju'dah, and in the cities of the mountains, 
and in the cities of the valley, and in the 
cities of the south: for I will cause their cap- 
tivity to return, saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER 33. 
1 God promiseth to the captivity a gracious 
return, 9 a joyful state, 12 a settled 
government, 15 Christ the Branch of right- 
eousness, 17 a continuance of kingdom and 
priesthood, 20 and a stability of a blessed 
seed. 

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah the second time, while he was yet 
a shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, 
the Lord that formed it, to establish it; 5 the 
Lord is his name; 

3 Call c unto me, and I will answer thee, and 
shew thee great and mighty things, which thou 
knowest not. 

4 For thus saith the Lord, the God of is'- 
ra-el, concerning the houses of this city, and 
concerning the houses of the kings of Ju'dah, 
which are thrown down by the mounts, and by 
the sword; 

5 They come to fight with the Chal-de'an§, 
but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of 
men, whom I have slain in mine anger and. in 
my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have 
hid my face from this city. 

6 Behold, d l will bring it health and cure, 
and I will cure them, and will reveal unto 
them the abundance of peace and truth. 

7 And e I will cause the captivity of Ju'dah 
and the captivity of Is'ra-el to return, and will 
build them, as at the first. 

8 And I will cleanse them from all their in- 
iquity, whereby they have sinned against me; 
and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby 
they have sinned, and whereby they have trans- 
gressed against me. 

9 II And 2 it shall be to me a name of joy, a 
praise and an honour before all the nations of 
the earth, which shall hear all the good that I 
do unto them: and they shall fear 3 and tremble 
for all the goodness and for all the prosperity 
that I procure unto it. 

10 Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall 
be heard in this *place, which ye say shall be 
desolate without man and without beast, even 
in the cities of Ju'dah, and in the streets of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, that are desolate, without man, 
and without inhabitant, and without beast, 



bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off 
this good land which the Lord your God hath given you. (Josh. 23:15.) 

k. And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of 
Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses 
upon whose roofs they have burn?d incense unto all the host of heaven, 
and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods. (Jer. 19:13.) 

1. And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, 
as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I 
have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there. 
(II Ks. 23:27.) 

m. And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, 
and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; 
and I called you, but ye answered not. (Jer. 7:13.) - 

n. For the children of Judah. have done evil in my sight, saith the 
Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by 
my name, to pollute it. (Jer. 7:30.) Then said he unto me, Son of man, 
lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine 
eyes the way toward the north, and; behold, northward at the gate of 
the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. (Ez. 8:5.) 

o. And I will give Ihem an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: 
and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall 
return unto me with their whole heart. (Jer. 21:7.) 

p. Ard the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work 
of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, 



and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice 
over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers. (Dt. 30:9.) The 
Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty: he will save, he will re- 
joice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee 
with singing. (Zeph. 3:17.) 
Chapter 33. 

a. See ch. 32:2. 

b. The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name. (Ex. 15:3.) 
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow 
of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that 
calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face 
of the earth: The Lord is his name. (Amos 5:8.) 

c. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with 
him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. (Ps. 91:15.) And 
call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt 
glorify me. (Ps. 50:15.) Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call 
ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and 
the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, 
and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundant- 
ly pardon. (Is. 55:6, 7.) 

d. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy 
wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, 
This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. (Jer. 30:17.) 

e. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be

ness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice 
of the bride, the voice of them. that shall say, 
'Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is 
good; for his "mercy endureth for ever: and of 
them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise 
into the house of the Lord. For I will cause 
to return the captivity of the land, as at the 
first, saith the Lord. 

12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Again in 
this place, which is desolate without man and 
without beast, and in all the cities thereof, 
shall be an habitation of shepherds causing 
their flocks to lie down. 

13 In the cities of the mountains, in the 
cities of the vale, and in the cities of the 
south, and in the land of Ben'ja-min, and in 
the places about Je-ru'sa-lem, and in the cities 
of Ju'dah, shall the flocks pass again under the 
hands of him that telleth them, saith the 
Lord. 

14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that ''I will perform that good thing which I 
have promised unto the house of Is'ra-el and 
to the house of Ju'dah. 

15 r: 'In those days, and at that time, will I 
cause the 'Branch of righteousness to grow up 
unto Da'vid; and he shall execute judgment 
and righteousness in the land. 

16 >In those days shall Ju'dah be saved, and 
Je-ru'sa-lem shall dwell safely: and this is the 
name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord 
our righteousness. 

17 % For thus saith the Lord; ^'Da'vid shall 
never want a man to sit upon the throne of 
the house of is'ra-el; 

18 Neither shall the priests the Le'vites 
want a man before me to 'offer burnt offer- 
ings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do 
sacrifice continually. 

19 f 6 And the word of the Lord came unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break 
'"my covenant of the day, and my covenant of 
the night, and that there should not be day 
and night in their season; 

21 Then may also my covenant be broken 
with Da'vid my servant, that he should not 
have a son to reign upon his throne; and with 
the Le'vites the priests, my ministers. 

22 As the host of heaven cannot be num- 
bered, neither the sand of the sea measured: 
so will I multiply the seed of Da'vid my serv- 
ant, and the Le'vites shall minister unto me. 

23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to 
Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

24 Considerest thou not what 7 this people 
have spoken, saying, The s two families which

the Lord hath chosen, he hath even cast them 
off? thus they have despised my people, that 
they should be no more a nation before them. 

25 Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant "be 
not with day and night, and if I have not ap- 
pointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 

26 Then will I cast away the seed of Ja'cob, 
and Da'vid my servant, so that I will not 
take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed 
of A'bra-ham, I'saac, and Ja'cob: °for I will 
cause their captivity to return, and have mercy 
on them. 

CHAPTER 34. 
1 Jeremiah prophesieth the captivity of Zede- 
kiah and the city. 8 The princes and the 
people having dismissed their bondservants, 
contrary to the covenant of God, reassume 
them. 12 Jeremiah, for their disobedience, 
giveth them and Zedekiah into the hands of 
their enemies. 

1 2 The word which came unto Jer-e-mi'ah 
from the Lord, when Neb-u-chad-nez'zar king 
of Bab'y-lon, and all his army, and all the 
kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all 
the people, fought against Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
against all the cities thereof, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is'ra-el; 
Go and speak to Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah, 
and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I 
will give this city into the hand of the king of 
Bab'y-lon, and he shall burn it with fire: 

3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, 
but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into 
his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes 
of the king of Bab'y-lon, and he shall speak 
with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go 
to Bab'y-lon. 

4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, Zed-e- 
ki'ah king of Ju'dah; Thus saith the Lord of 
thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword : 

5 But thou shalt die in peace: and with the 
burnings of thy fathers, the former kings 
which were before thee, so shall they burn 
odours for thee; and they will lament thee, 
saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the 
word, saith the Lord. 

6 Then Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet spake all 
these words unto Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah in 
Je-ru'sa-lem, 

7 When the king of Bab'y-lon's army fought 
against Je-ru'sa-lem, and against all the cities 
of Ju'dah that were left, against 2 La'chish, and 
against A-zekah : for these defenced cities re- 
mained of the cities of Ju'dah. 

8 H 3 This is the word that came unto Jer-e- 
mi'ah from the Lord, after that the king Zed- 
e-ki'ah had made a covenant with all the peo- 



clean: from all your fllthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse 
you. (Bz. 36:25.) In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the 
house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for 
uncleanness. (Zech. 13:1.) Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth 
iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? 
he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. 
(Mic. 7:18.) 

f. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his 
deeds among the people. (I Chr. 16:8.) 

g. And they sang together by course in praising and giv- 
ing thanks unto the Lord; because he is good, for his mercy 
er.dureth for ever toward Israel. (Ezra 3:11.) The Lord, The 
Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) With the merciful thou wilt show thy- 
self merciful, (Ps. 18:25.) Turn unto me according to the multitude of 
thy tender mercies. (Ps. 69:16.) And he remembered for them his 
covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 
106:45.) For I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger 
for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) 

h. For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished 
at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, 
in causing you to return to this place. (Jer. 29:10.) Behold, a king 
shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And 
a man shall be as an hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from 
the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place; as the shadow of a great 
rock in a weary land. (Is. 32:1, 2.) And I will set up one Shepherd 
over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed 
them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, 
and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it. 
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil 
beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilder- 
ness, and sleep in the woods. (Ez. 34:23-25.) 



i. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, 
and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that 
are escaped of Israel. (Is. 4:2.) And there shall come forth a rod out 
of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. (Is. 11:1.) 

j. Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob 
shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down 
dew. (Dt. 33:28.) But Israel shall he saved in the Lord with an ever- 
lasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor counfounded world 
without end. (Is. 45:17.) 

k. There shall not be cut off from David. — And thine house and 
thy kingdom shall be established for ever. (II Sam. 7:16.) His seed 
also will I ma'-.e to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 
(Ps. 89:29.) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the High- 
est: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father 
David. (Luke 1:32.) 

1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye 
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which 
is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) And hath made us kings and 
priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for 
ever and ever. Amen. (Rev. 1:6.) 

m. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful 
witness in heaven. (Ps. 89:37.) For this is as the waters of Noah unto 
me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go 
over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, 
nor rebuke thee. (Is. 54:9.) 

n. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, ani cold and 
heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Gen. 
8:22.) The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the 
light and the sun. (Ps. 74:16.) 

o. Now these are the children of the province that went up out of 
the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchad- 
nezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came 
again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city. (Ezra 2:1.)

pie which were at Je-ru'sa-lem, to proclaim lib- 
erty unto them; 

9 a That every man should let his manserv- 
ant, and every man his maidservant, being an 
He'brew or an He'brew-ess, go free; Hhat none 
should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew 
his brother. 

10 Now when all the princes, and all the 
people, which had entered into the covenant, 
heard that every one should let his manserv- 
ant, and every one his maidservant, go free, 
that none should serve themselves of them any 
more, then they obeyed, and let them go. 

11 But afterward they turned, and caused 
the servants and the handmaids, whom they 
had let go free, to return, and brought them 
into subjection for servants and for hand- 
maids. 

12 1f Therefore the word of the Lord came 
to Jer-e-mi'ah from the Lord, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is'ra-el; 
I made a ^covenant with your fathers in the 
day that I brought them forth out of the land 
of E'gypt, out of the house of bondmen, say- 
ing, 

14 At the end of ''seven Vears let ye go 
every man his brother an He'brew, which hath 
been sold unto thee; and when he hath served 
thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from 
thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, 
neither inclined their ear. 

15 And ye were now turned, and had done 
right in my sight, In proclaiming liberty every 
man to his neighbour; and ye had c 'made a 
covenant before me in the house which is called 
by my name: 

16 But ye turned and °polluted my name, 
and caused every man his servant, and every 
man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty 
at their pleasure, to return, and brought them 
into subjection, to be unto you for servants 
and for handmaids. 

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have 
not ^hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, 
every one to his brother, and every man to 
his neighbour: ^behold, I proclaim "a liberty 
for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the 
pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make 
you to be removed into all the kingdoms of 
the earth. 

18 And I will give the men that have trans- 
gressed my covenant, which have not per- 
formed the words of the covenant which they 
had made before me, when they cut the calf in 
twain, and passed between the parts thereof, 

19 The princes of Ju'dah, and the princes of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and 
all the people of the land, which passed be- 
tween the parts of the calf; 

20 I will even give them into the hand of 



4. At the end of six years Hebrew 
bondage ceased. (Dt. 15:12) — "And 
if thy brother, an Hebrew man or an 
Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee and 
serve thee six years, then in the sev> 
enth year thou shalt let him go free 
from thee." 



5. Violated your oath. 



6. Your punishment shall be ac- 
cording to your offence. 



7. As the makers of the covenant 
passed the pieces of the calf, so shall 
those who violated the covenant have 
their bodies cut to pieces.

seek their life: and their ''dead 7 bodies shall 
be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and 
to the beasts of the earth. 

21 And Zed-e-ki'ah king of Ju'dah and his 
princes will I give into the hand of their ene- 
mies, and into the hand of them that seek 
their life, and into the hand of the king of 
Bab'y-lon's army, which are gone up from you. 

22 Behold, I will command, saith the Lord, 
and cause them to return to this city; and they 
shall fight against it, 'and take it, and burn it 
with fire: and I will make the cities of Ju'dah 
a desolation without an inhabitant. 

CHAPTER 35. 
1 By the obedience of the Rechabites, 12 Jere- 
miah condemneth the disobedience of the 
Jews. 18 God blesseth the Rechabites for 
their obedience. 

1 x The word which came unto Jer-e-mi'ah 
from the Lord in the days of Je-hoi'a-kim the 
son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah, saying, 

2 Go unto the house of the Re'chab-ites, and 
speak unto them, and bring them into the house 
of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give 
them wine to drink. 

3 Then I took Ja-az-a-ni'ah the son of Jer-e- 
mi'ah, the son of Hab-a-zi-ni'ah, and his breth- 
ren, and all his sons, and the whole house of 
the Re'chab-ites; 

4 And I brought them into the house of the 
Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Ha'nan, 
the son of Ig-da-li'ah, a man of God, which was 
by the chamber of the princes, which was 
above the chamber of Ma-a-se'iah the son of 
Shal'lum, the keeper 2 of the door: 

5 And I set before the sons of the house of 
the Re'chab-ites pots full of wine, and cups, 
and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. 

6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for 
Jon'a-dab the son of Re'chab our father com- 
manded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, 
neither ye, nor your sons for ever: 

7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, 
nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your 
days ye shall dwell in tents; "that ye may live 
many days in the land where ye be strangers. 

8 Thus have we obeyed 6 the voice of JSn'a- 
dab the son of Re'chab our father in all that 
he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our 
days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daugh- 
ters; 

9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: 
neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: 

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have 
obeyed, and done according to all that Jon'a- 
dab our father commanded us. 

11 But it came to pass, when Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon came up into the 



Chapter 34. 

a. Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their 
vineyards, their olive yards, and their houses, also the hundredth part 
of the money, and of the corn, the wine, the oil, that ye exact of them. 
(Neh. 5:11.) 

b. And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be 
sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bond-servant. 
(Lev. 25:39.) 

c. And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, 
and all the judgments: and all ^he people answered with one voice, and 
said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do (3). And he 
took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: 
and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. 
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Be- 
hold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you 
concerning all these words. (Ex. 24:3, ■ 7, 8.) The Lord our God made a 
covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not this covenant with our 
fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day 
(2, 3). Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say; 
and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; 
and we will hear it, and do it. (Dt. 5:2, 3, 27.) 

d. And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be 
sold unto thee, and serve thee six years, then in the seventh year thou 
shalt let him go free : from thee. (Dt. 15:12.) But of the children of Israel 
did Solomon make no bondmen : . but they were men of war, and his 
servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, 
and his horsemen. (I Ks. 9:22.) If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six 
years he shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for noth- 
ing. (Ex. 21:2.) 

e. And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the 



Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his 
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to 
perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and 
all the people stood to the covenant. (II Ks. 23:3.) 

f. Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against 
them by thy Spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: there- 
fore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. (Neh. 
9:30.) 

g. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with 
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Mat. 7:2.) 
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because 
that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned 
you and testified. (I Thess. 4:6.) 

h. And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of 
the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them 
away. (Jer. 7:33.) They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be 
lamented, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upc" 
the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and 
by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, 
and for the beasts of the earth. (Jer. 16:4.) 

i. Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be given into the hand 
of Babylon's army, which shall take it. (Jer. 38:3.) 

Chapter 35. 

a. Honor thy father and thv mother: that thv days may be long upon 
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Ex. 20:12.) Honor thy 
father and mother: (which is the first commandment with promise:) 
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 
(Eph. 6:2, 3.) 

b. My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the

land, that we said, Come, and let us go to 
Je-ru'sa-lem for fear of the army of the Chal- 
de'an§, and for fear of the army of the Syr'- 
i-an§: so we dwell at Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12 II 3 Then came the word of the Lord unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
is'ra-el; Go and tell the men of Ju'dah and 
the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, Will ye not 
receive instruction to hearken to my words? 
saith the Lord. 

14 The words of Jon'a-dab the son of Re'- 
chab, that he 'commanded his sons not to drink 
wine, are performed; for unto this day they 
drink none, but obey their father's command- 
ment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, 
'rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened 
not unto me. 

15 ''I have sent also unto you all my serv- 
ants the prophets, rising up early and sending 
them, saying, Return 'ye now every man from 
his evil way, and amend your doings, and go 
not after other gods to serve them, and ye 
shall dwell in the land which I have given 
to you and to your fathers: but ye have not 
inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me. 

16 Because the sons of Jon'a-dab the son of 
Re'chab have performed the commandment of 
their father, which he commanded them; but 
this people hath not hearkened unto me: 

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of 
hosts, the God of is'ra-el; Behold, I ^will bring 
upon Ju'dah and upon all the inhabitants of 
Je-ru'sa-lem all the evil that I have pronounced 
against them: ^because I have spoken unto 
them, but they have not heard; and I have 
called unto them, but they have not answered. 

18 H And Jer-e-mi'ah said unto the house of 
the Re'chab-ites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Is'ra-el; Because ye have obeyed 
the commandment of Jon'a-dab your father, 
and kept all his precepts, and done according 
unto all that he hath commanded you : 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Is'ra-el; Jon'a-dab the son of Re'- 
chab shall not 5 want a man to stand before me 
for ever. 

CHAPTER 36. 
1 Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write his proph- 
ecy, 5 and publickly to read it. 11 The 
princes, having intelligence thereof, send 
Jehudi to fetch the roll, and read it. 20 The 
king Jehoiakim, being certified thereof, hear- 
eth part of it, and burneth the roll. 32 Ba- 
ruch writeth a new copy. 
1 'And it came to pass in the fourth 2 y ear 0I 
Je-hoi'a-kim the son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'- 
dah, that this word came unto Jer-e-mi'ah 
from the Lord, saying, 



3. In vs. 12-19, the Rechabites' 
example of obedience applied to the 
people. 



4. Jehovah speaking. 



5. The clans shall not be de- 
stroyed. 



Ch. 36. B. C. 607-606. 



1. The scene of the next nine chs., 
extending from chs. 30 to 45. is laid in 
Jerusalem, the first three before its 
capture, the last six after. In this 
ch., Baruch publicly reads the prophe- 
cies of Jer. which had been written 
in a book; the book is burnt by Je- 
hoiakim, and rewritten by Baruch, at 
dictation of Jer. 



2. Also the date of ch. 25, that 
oh., however, belonging to the first of 
the year, while this ch, is written 
near the close. 



3. Seriously consider. 



4. Prevented because of some re- 
straining influence. 



5. Some special day of fasting in 
the ninth month (v. 9), but not on 
the great day of Atonement, as that 
was on the tenth day of the seventh 
month. (Lev. 16:29, 30) — "And this 
shall be a statute for ever unto you, 
that in the seventh month, on the 
tenth day of the month,, on that day 
shall the priest make an atonement 
for you." 



6. Vs. 9-18 give the incidents con- 
nected with the reading of the 
prophecy. 



7. A public office, corresponding 
to our secretary of state. 



2 Take thee a roll of a book, and a write 
therein all the words that I have spoken unto 
thee against is'ra-el, and .against Ju'dah, and 
against all the nations, from the day I spake 
unto thee, from the days of Jo-si'ah, even unto 
this day. 

3 6 It may be that the house of Ju'dah will 
3 hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto 
them; that they may c return every man from 
his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity 
and their sin. 

4 Then Jer-e-mi'ah called Ba'ruch the son 
of Ne-ri'ah: and d Ba'ruch wrote from the 
mouth of Jer-e-mi'ah all the words of the 
Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a 
roll of a book. 

5 And Jer-e-mi'ah commanded Ba'ruch, say- 
ing, I am 4 shut up; I cannot go into the house 
of the Lord: 

6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, 
which thou hast written from my mouth, the 
words of the Lord in the ears of the people in 
the Lord's house upon the 5 fasting day: and 
also thou shalt read them in the ears of all 
Ju'dah that come out of their cities. 

7 It may be they will present their suppli- 
cation before the Lord, and will return every 
one from his evil way: for great is the anger 
and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced 
against this people. 

8 And Ba'ruch the son of Ne-ri'ah did ac- 
cording to all that Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet 
commanded him, reading in the book the words 
of the Lord in the Lord's house. 

9 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of 
Je-hoi'a-kim the son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah, 
in the ninth month, that e they proclaimed a 
s fast before the Lord to all the people in Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and to all the people that came 
from the cities of Ju'dah unto Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10 Then read Ba'ruch in the book the words 
of Jer-e-mi'ah in the house of the Lord, in the 
chamber of Gem-a-ri'ah the son of Sha'phan 
the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry 
of the new gate of the Lord's house, in the 
ears of all the people. 

11 1f When Mi-cha'iah the son of Gem-a-ri'- 
ah, the son of Sha'phan, had heard out of the 
book all the words of the Lord, 

12 Then he went down into the king's house, 
into the scribe's 'chamber: and, lo, all the 
princes sat there, even E-lish'a-ma the scribe, 
and Del-a-i'ah the son of Shem-a-i'ah, and El'- 
na-than the son of Ach'bor, and Gem-a-ri'ah 
the son of Sha'phan, and Zed-e-ki'ah the son 
of Han-a-ni ah, and all the princes. 

13 Then Mi-cha'iah declared unto them all 
the words that he had heard, when Ba'ruch 
read the book in the ears of the people. 

14 Therefore all the princes sent Je-hu'di 



law of thy mother. (Prov. 1:8.) Children, obey your parents in all 
things: for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. (Col. 3:20.) 

c. And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, 
and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; 
and I called you, but ye answered not. (Jer. 7:13.) From the thirteenth 
year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that 
is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, 
and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not 
hearkened. (Jer. 25:3.) 

d. Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of 
Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the 
prophets, daily rising up early and sending them. (Jer. 7:25.) 

e. Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame 
evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every 
one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. (Jer. 
18:11.) They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and 
from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath 
given unto you and your fathers for ever and ever: And go not after 
other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to 
anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. (Jer. 
25:5, 6.) 

f. Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come 
upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord 
bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off 
this good land which the Lord your God hath given you. (Josh. 23:15.) 

g. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my 
band, and no man regarded. (Prov. 1:24.) Therefore will I number you 
to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when 



I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose 
that wherein I delighted not. (Is. 65U2.) 
Chapter 36. 

a. Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and 
write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahar-shalal-hash-baz. (Is. 8:1.) 
Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words 
that I have spoken unto thee in a book. (Jer. 30:2.) 

b. If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil 
way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do unto them, 
because of the evil of their doings. (Jer. 26:3.) Therefore, thou son 
cf man, prepare the stuff for removing, and remove by day in their 
sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their 
sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house. 
(Ez. 12:3.) 

c. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his 
thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy 
upon him: and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Is. 55:7.) 
If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I 
will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. (Jer. 18:8.) 

d. The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son 
of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of 
Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of 
Judah, saying. (Jer. 45:1.) 

e. Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and 
came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the Lord, 
and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace 
offerings before the Lord. (Jud. 20:26.) And Jehoshaphat feared, and stft 
himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

the son of Neth-a-nl'ah, the son of Shel-e-mi'- 
ah, the son of Cu/shl, unto Ba'ruch, saying, 
Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast 
read in the ears of the people, and come. So 
Ba'ruch the son of Ne-rl'ah took the roll in 
his hand, and came unto ''them. 

15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, 
and read it in our ears. So Ba'ruch read it in 
their ears. 

16 Now it came to pass, when they had 
heard all the words, they were afraid both one 
and other, and said unto Ba'ruch, We will 
surely tell the king of all these words. 

17 And they asked Ba'ruch, saying, Tell us 
now, How didst thou write all these words at 
his mouth? 

18 Then Ba'ruch answered them, He pro- 
nounced all these words unto me with his 
mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. 

19 'Then said the princes unto Ba'ruch, Go, 
hide thee, thou and Jer-e-mi'ah; and let no 
man know where ye be. 

20 11 And they went in to the king into the 
court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber 
of E-Hsh'a-ma the scribe, and told all the 
words in the ears of the king. 

21 So the king sent Je-hu'dl to fetch the 
roll: and he took it out of E'lish-a-ma the 
scribe's chamber. And Je-hu'dl read it in the 
ears of the king, and in the ears of all the 
princes which stood beside the king. 

22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in 
the ninth month: and there was a "fire on the 
hearth burning before him. 

23 And it came to pass, that when Je-hu'dl 
had read three or four leaves, he cut it with 
the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was 
on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed 
in the fire that was on the hearth. 

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their 
garments, neither the king, nor any of his 
servants that heard all these words. 

25 Nevertheless El'na-than and Del-a-I'ah 
and Gem-a-ri'ah ^had made intercession to the 
king that he would not burn the roll: but he 
would not hear them.' 

26 But the king commanded Je-rah'me-el 
the son of Ham'me-lech, and Ser-a-I'ah the son 
of Az'ri-el, and Shel-a-mi'ah the son of Ab'- 
de-el, to take ''Ba'ruch the scribe and Jer-e- 
ml'ah the prophet: but the 'Lord hid them. 

27 l 10 Then the word of the Lord came to 
Jer-e-mi'ah, after Hhat the king had burned 
the roll, and the words which Ba'ruch wrote 
at the mouth of Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

28 Take thee again another roll, and write 
in it all the former words that were in the 
first roll, which Je-hoi'a-kim the king of Ju'dah 
hath burned. 

29 And thou shalt say to Je-hoi'a-kim king 
of Ju'dah, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast 
burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written 
therein, saying, The king of Baby-Ion shall 
certainly come and destroy this land, and shall 
cause to cease from thence man and beast?

body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, 
and in the night to the frost. 

31 And I will punish him and his seed and 
his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring 
upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Je-ru'- 
sa'lem, and upon the men of Ju'dah, all the 
evil that I have pronounced against them; but 
they hearkened not. 

32 If Then took Jer-e-mi'ah another roll, and 
gave it to Ba'ruch the scribe, the son of Ne- 
ri'ah; 'who wrote therein from the mouth of 
Jer-e-mi'ah all the words of the book which 
Je-hoi'a-kim king of Ju'dah had burned in the 
fire: and there were added besides unto them 
many like words. 

CHAPTER 37. 

1 The Egyptians having raised the siege of the 
Chaldeans, king Zedekiah sendeth to Jere- 
miah to pray for the people. 6 Jeremiah 
prophesieth the Chaldeans' certain return 
and victory. 11 He is taken for a fugitive, 
beaten, and put in prison. 16 He assureth 
Zedekiah of the captivity. 

1 \And king Zed-e-ki'ah the son of Jo-si'ah 
reigned instead of 2 Co-ni'ah the son of Je-hoi'- 
a-kim, 3 whom Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'- 
y-lon made king in the land of Ju'dah. 

2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the 
people of the land, did hearken unto the words 
of the Lord, which he spake by the prophet 
Jer-e-mi'ah. 

3 And Zed-e-ki'ah the king sent Je'hu-cal 
the son of Shel-e-mi'ah and Zeph-a-nl'ah the 
son of Ma-a-se'iah the priest to the prophet 
Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, Pray now unto the Lord 
our God for us. 

4 Now Jer-e-mi'ah came in and went out 
among the people: for they had not put him 
into prison. 

5 Then Pha'raoh's army was come forth out 
of E'gypt: and when the Chal-de'ans that be- 
sieged Je-ru'sa-lem heard tidings of them, they 
departed from Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6 H Then came the word of the Lord unto 
the prophet Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

7 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is'ra-el; 
Thus shall ye say to the king of Ju'dah, that 
c sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, 
Pha'raoh's army, which is come forth to help 
you, shall return to E'gypt into their own land. 

8 6 And the Chal-de'ans shall come again, 
and fight against this city, and take it, and 
burn it with fire. 

9 Thus saith the Lordj Deceive not your- 
selves, saying, The Chal-de'ans shall surely de- 
part from us: for they shall not depart. 

10 For though ye had smitten the whole 
army of the Chal-de'ans that fight against 
you, and there remained but wounded men 
among them, yet e should they rise up every 
man in his tent, and burn this city with fire. 



f. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid 
of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost 
dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at 
their looks, though they be a rebellious house. (Ez. 2:6.) 

g. Be not ye therefore partakers with them (7). And have no fel- 
lowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 
(Eph. 5:7, 11.) 

h. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, 
and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some 
of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from 
city to city (34). O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, 
and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have 
gathered thy children together, even as a hen gath^reth her chickens 
under her wings, and ye would not! (Mat. 23:34, 37.) 

i. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 
(Ps. 46:1.) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall 
abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Ps. 91:1.) The Lord shall 
preserve thy going out, and thy coming in, from this time forth, and 
even for evermore. (Ps. 121:8.) And they shall fight against thee; but 
they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, 
to deliver thee. (Jer. 1:19.) 

j. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the 
Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) 

k. Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that 



shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sit- 
ting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. (Jer. 
22:30.) 

1. And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and 
I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what 
ye shall do. (Ex. 4:15.) 

Chapter 37. 

a. Enquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king 
of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the Lord will deal 
with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from 
us. (Jer. 21:2.) 

b. The Lord br.ingeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he 
maketh the devices of the people of none effect. (Ps. 33:10.) There is 
no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord. (Prov. 
21:30.) Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take coun- 
sel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit, 
that they may add sin to sin. (Is. 30:1.) And Zedekiah king of Judah, 
and his princes, will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the 
hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of 
Babylon's army, which are gone up from you. Behold, I will command, 
saith the Lord, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall 
fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire. (Jer. 34:21, 22.) 

c. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back the 
weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the

11 r And it came to pass, that when the 
army of the Chal-de'ans was broken 6 up from 
Je-ru'sa-lem for fear of Pha'raoh's army, 

12 Then Jer-e-mi'ah went forth out of Je- 
ru'sa-lem to go into the land of Ben'ja-min, to 
separate 'Tiimself thence in the midst of the 
people. 

13 And when he was in the gate of Ben'ja- 
min, a captain of the ward was there, whose 
name was I-ri'jah, the son of Shel-e-mi'ah, the 
son of Han-a-ni'ah; and he took Jer-e-mi'ah 
the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the 
Chal-de'ans. 

14 Then said Jer-e-mi'ah, It is false; I fall 
not away to the Chal-de'ans. But he heark- 
ened not to him: so i-ri'jah took Jer-e-mi'ah, 
and brought him to the princes. 

15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with 
Jer-e-mi'ah, and smote him, and put him in 
prison in the house of Jon'a-than the scribe: 
for they had made that the prison. 

16 r 7 When Jer-e-mi'ah was entered into the 
dungeon, k and into the cabins, and Jer-e-mi'ah 
had remained there many days; 

17 Then Zed-e-ki'ah the king sent, and took 
him out: and the king asked him secretly in 
his house, and said, d Is there any word from 
the Lord? And Jer-e-mi'ah said, There is: for, 
said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand 
of the king of Bab'y-lon. 

18 Moreover Jer-e-mi'ah said unto king 
Zed-e-ki'ah, What have I offended against thee, 
or against thy servants, or against this people, 
that ye have put me in prison? 

19 Where are now "your prophets which 
prophesied unto you, saying, The king of 
Baby-Ion shall not come against you, nor 
against this land? 

20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, my 
lord the king: let my supplication, I pray 
thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause 
me not to return to the house of Jon'a-than the 
scribe, lest I die there. , 

21 Then Zed-e-ki'ah the king commanded 
that they should commit Jer-e-mi'ah into the 
court of the prison, and e that they should give 
him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' 
street, ''until all the bread in the city were 
spent. Thus Jer-e-mi'ah remained #in the 
court of the prison. 

CHAPTER 38. 
1 Jeremiah, by a false suggestion, is put into 
the dungeon of Malhiah. 7 Ebed-melech, by 
suit, getteth him some enlargement. 14 Upon 
secret conference he counselleth the king by 
yielding to save his life. 24 By the king's 
instructions he concealeth the conference 
from the princes.

ly be given into the hand of the king of Bab'y- 
lon's army, which shall take it. 

4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, 
We beseech thee, c let this man be put to 
death: for thus he weaken eth the hands of 
the men of war that remain in this city, and 
the hands of all the people, in speaking such 
words unto them: for this man seeketh not 
the welfare of this people, but the ^urt. 

5 Then Zed-e-ki'ah the king said, Behold, he 
is in your hand: for the king is not he that 
can do any thing against you. 

6 3 Then took they Jer-e-mi'ah, and cast him 
into "the Mungeon of Mal-chi'ah the son of 
Ham'me-lech, that was in the court of the 
prison: and they let down Jer-e-mi'ah with 
cords. And in the dungeon there was no 
water, but mire: so Jer-e-mi'ah sunk in the 



mire. 

n r 



I ' Now when E'bed-me'lech the E-thi-6'pi- 
an, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's 
house, heard that they had put Jer-e-mi'ah in 
the Mungeon ; the king then sitting in the gate 
of Ben'ja-min; 

8 E'bed-me'lech went forth out of the king's 
house, and spake to the king, saying, 

9 My lord the king, these men have done 
evil in all that they have done to Jer-e-mi'ah 
the prophet, whom they have cast into the 
"dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in 
the place where he is: for there is no more 
bread in the city. 

10 Then the king commanded E'bed-me'lech 
the E-thi-6'pi-an, saying, Take from hence 
thirty men with thee, and take up Jer-e-mi'ah 
the prophet out of the Mungeon, before he die. 

II So E'bed-me'lech took the men with him, 
and went into the house of the king under the 
treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and 
old rotten rags, and let them down by cords 
into the dungeon to Jer-e-mi'ah. 

12 And e E'bed-me'lech the E-thi-o'pi-an said 
unto Jer-e-mi'ah, Put now these old cast clouts 
and rotten rags under thine armholes under 
the cords. And Jer-e-mi'ah did so. 

13 So they drew up Jer-e-mi'ah with cords, 
and took him up out of the dungeon : and 
Jer-e-mi'ah remained in the court of the 
prison. 

14 ~ r Then Zed-e-ki'ah the king sent, and 
took Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet unto him into the 
third entry that is in the house of the Lord: 
and the king said unto Jer-e-mi'ah, I will ask 
thee a thing; hide nothing from me. 

15 Then Jer-e-mi'ah said unto Zed-e-ki'ah, 
If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely 
put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, 
wilt c thou not hearken unto me?

holy, and observed him ; and when he heard him, he did many things, and

a. And unto this people thou shalt say. Thus saith the Lord, Behold.

when fhe Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake

16 So Zed-e-ki'ah the king sware secretly 
unto Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, As the Lord liveth, 
'that made us this soul, I will not put thee to 
death, neither will I give thee into the hand 
of these men that seek thy life. 

17 Then said Jer-e-mi'ah unto Zed-e-ki'ah, 
Thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God 
of is'ra-el; If thou wilt assuredly ^go forth 
unto the king of Baby-Ion's princes, then thy 
soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned 
with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house: 

18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king 
of Bab'y-lon's princes, then shall this city be 
given into the hand of the Chal-de'an§, and 
they shall bum it with fire, and ''thou shalt 
not escape out of their hand. 

19 And Zed-e-ki'ah the king said unto Jer-e- 
mi'ah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen 
to the Chal-de'ans, lest they deliver me into 
their hand, and they mock me. 

20 But Jer-e-mi'ah said, They shall not de- 
liver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of 
the Lord, which I speak unto thee: so it shall 
be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live. 

21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is 
the word that the Lord hath shewed me: 

22 And, behold, all the 7 women that are left 
in the king of Ju'dah's house shall be brought 
forth to the king of Bab'y-lon's princes, and 
those women shall say, Thy friends have set 
thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy 
feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned 
away back. 

23 So they shall bring out all thy wives 
and thy children to the Chal-de'an§ : and thou 
shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt 
be taken by the hand of the king of Bab'y-lon : 
and thou shalt cause this city to be burned 
with fire. 

24 If Then said Zed-e-ki'ah unto Jer-e-mi'ah, 
Let no man know of these words, and thou 
shalt not die. 

25 But if the princes hear that I have talked 
with thee, and they come unto thee, and say 
unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast 
said unto the king, hide it not from us, and 
we will not put thee to death; also what the 
king said unto thee: 

26 Then thou shalt say unto them, { I pre- 
sented my supplication before the king, that 
he would not cause me to return to Jona- 
than's house, to die there. 

27 Then came all the princes unto Jer-e- 
mi'ah, and asked him: and he told them ac- 
cording to all these words that the king had 
commanded. So they left off speaking with 
him; for the matter was not perceived. 

28 So ■'Jer-e-mi'ah abode in the court of the 
prison until the day that Je-ru'sa-lem was 
taken: and he was there when Je-ru'sa-lem 
was taken.

1 'In the ninth year of Zed-e-ki'ah king of 
Ju'dah, in the tenth month, came Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon and all his army 
against Je-ru'sa-lem, and they besieged it. 

2 And in the eleventh year of Zed-e-ki'ah, 
in the fourth month, the ninth day of the 
month, the city was broken up. 

3 And all the princes of the king of Bab'y- 
lon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even 
Ner'gal-sha-re'zer, Sam'gar-ne'bo, Sar-se'- 
chim, Rab'sa-ris, Ner'gal-sha-re'zer, Rab'-mag, 
with all the residue of the princes of the king 
of Bab'y-lon. 

4 If 2 And it came to pass, that when Zed-e- 
ki'ah the king of Ju'dah 3 saw them, and all 
the men of war, then they fled, and went 
forth out of the city by night, by the way of 
the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the 
"two walls: and he went out the way of the 
plain. 

5 But the Chal-de'ans' army pursued after 
them, and a overtook Zed-e-ki'ah in the plains 
of Jer'i-cho: and when they had taken him, 
they brought him up to Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
king of Bab'y-lon to r 'RIb'lah in the land of 
Ha'math, where he gave judgment upon him. 

6 Then the king of Bab'y-lon slew the sons 
of Zed-e-ki'ah in Rib'lah before his eyes: also 
the king of Bab'y-lon slew all the nobles of 
Ju'dah. 

7 Moreover he put out "Zed-e-ki'ah's eyes, 
and bound him with chains, to carry him to 
Bab'y-lon. 

8 If And the 6 Chal-de'ans burned the king's 
house, and the houses of the people, with fire, 
and brake down the walls of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9 c Then 7 Neb'u-zar-a'dan the s captain of the 
guard carried away captive into Bab'y-lon the 
remnant of the people that remained in the 
city, and those that fell away, that "fell to him, 
with the rest of the people that remained. 

10 But Neb'u-zar-a'dan the captain of the - 
guard left of the poor of the people, which had 
nothing, in the land of Ju'dah, and gave them 
vineyards and fields at the same time. 

11 If Now Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y- 
lon gave charge concerning Jer-e-mi'ah to 
Neb'u-zar-a'dan the captain of the guard, say- 
ing, 

12 Take him, and d look well to him, and do 
him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall 
say unto thee. 

13 So Neb'u-zar-a'dan the captain of the 
guard sent, and Neb-u-shas'ban, Rab'-sa-ris, 
and Ner'gal-sha-re'zer, Rab'-mag, and all the 
king of Bab'y-lon's princes; 

14 Even they sent, and took Jer-e-mi'ah 
out of the court of the prison, and committed 
him unto Ged-a-H'ah the son of A-hl'kam the 
son of Sha'phan, that he should carry him 
home : so he dwelt among the people.

f. The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, 
which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the 
earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. (Zech. 12:1.) Further- 
more we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave 
them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the 
Father of spirits, and live? (Heb. 12:9.) 

g. See ch. 39:3. 

h. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah 
king of Judah. and tell him; Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give 
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with 
fire: And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be 
taken, and delivered into his hand: and thine eyes shall behold the eyes 
of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, 
and thou shalt go to Babylon. (Jer. 34:2, 3.) 

i. Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my 
supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me 
not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. (Jer. 
37:20.) 

j. Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit 
Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him 
daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in 



the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. 
(Jer. 37:21.) 
Chapter 39. 

a. And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of 
the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king 
of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes 
shall behold his eyes; And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and 
there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with 
the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper. (Jer. 32:4, 5.) 

b. And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and 
all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with 
fire. (II Ks. 25:9.) 4.nd burned the house of the Lord, and the king's 
house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great 
men, burned he with Are. (Jer. 52:13.) 

c. Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the 
fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the 
multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away. (II 
Ks. 25:11.) Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away 
captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people 
that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king 
of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. (Jer. 52:15.) 

d. Set thine eyes upon him. — He shall deliver thee in six troubles: 
yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. In famine he shall redeem 
thee from death; and in war from the power of the sword. (Job 5:19, 20.)

JEREMIAH 



B. C. 588 



To "n "Now the word of the Lord "came unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah, while he was shut up in the court 
of the prison, saying, 

16 Go and speak to < E'bed-me'lech the E-thi- 
6'pi-an, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Is'ra-el; Behold, 1 will bring my 
words upon this city for evil, and not for 
good; and they shall be accomplished in that 
day before thee. 

17 But I will "deliver thee in that day, saith 
the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into 
the hand of the men of '"whom thou art afraid. 

18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou 
shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall 
be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast 
put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER 40. 
1 Jeremiah, being set free by Nebuzar-adan, 
goeth to Gedaliah. 7 The dispersed Jews 
repair unto him. 13 Johanan revealing Ish- 
mael's conspiracy is not believed. 

1 'The word that came to Jer-e-mi'ah from 
the Lord, after that Neb'u-zar-a'dan the cap- 
tain of the guard had let him go from -Ra'- 
mah, when he had taken him being bound in 
chains among all that were carried away cap- 
tive of Je-ru'sa-lem and Ju'dah, which were 
carried away captive unto Bab'y-lon. 

2 And the captain of the guard took Jer-e- 
mi'ah, and "said unto him, The Lord thy God 
hath pronounced this evil upon this place. 

3 Now the Lord hath brought it, and done 
according as he hath said : ''because ye have 
sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed 
his voice, therefore this thing is come upon 
you. 

4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day 
from the chains which were upon thine hand. 
If it seem good unto thee to come with me into 
Bab'y-lon, come; and C I will look well unto 
thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with 
me into Bab'y-lon, forbear: behold, all the 
land is before thee: whither it seemeth good 
and convenient for thee to go, thither go. 

5 Now while he was not yet 3 gone back, he 
said, Go back also to Ged-a-li'ah the son of 
A-hi'kam the son of Sha'phan, whom the king 
of Bab'y-lon hath made governor over the 
cities of Ju'dah, and dwell with him among the 
people: or go wheresoever it seemeth conve- 
nient unto thee to go. So the captain of the 
guard d gave him victuals and a reward, and 
let him go. 

6 4 Then went Jer-e-mi'ah unto Ged-a-li'ah 
the son of A-hi'kam to r 'Miz'pah; and dwelt 
with him among the people that were left in 
the land. 



10. Vs. 15-18 record the message

Ch. 40. B. C. 588. 



1. This ch. records the gathering 
of the people to Gedaliah and the con- 
spiracy of Ishmael against him. Vs. 
1-5 record the release of Jer. 



About 5 miles north of Jerusa-

was chosen king. (I Sam. 10:17-24.) 



6. Vs. 13-16, Ishmael's conspiracy 
against Gedaliah made known. 



7 1f Now when all the captains of the forces 
which were in the fields, even they and their 
men, heard that the king of Bab'y-lon had 
made Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam gover- 
nor in the land, and had committed unto him 
men, and women, and children, and of the 
poor of the land, of them that were not car- 
ried away captive to Bab'y-lon; 

8 Then they came to Ged-a-li'ah to Miz'pah, 
even Ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah, and 
Jo-ha'nan and Jon'a-than the sons of Ka-re'- 
ah, and Ser-a-i'ah the son of Tan'hu-meth, and 
the sons of E'phai the Ne-toph'a-thite, and 
Jez-a-ni'ah the son of a Ma-ach'a-thite, they 
and their men. 

9 And Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam the 
son of Sha'phan sware unto them and to their 
men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chal-de'- 
an§: dwell in the land, and serve the king of 
Bab'y-lon, and it shall be well with you. 

10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Miz'- 
pah, to serve the Chal-de'an§, which will come 
unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer 
fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, 
and dwell in your cities that ye have taken. 

11 Likewise when all the e Jew§ that were 
in Mo'ab, and among the Am'mon-ites, and in 
E'dom, and that were in all the countries, heard 
that the king of Bab'y-lon had left a remnant 
of Ju'dah, and that he had set over them 
Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam the son of 
Sha'phan; 

12 Even all the Jews returned out of all 
places whither they were driven, and came to 
the land of Ju'dah, to Ged-a-li'ah, unto Miz'- 
pah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very 
much. 

13 If "Moreover Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'- 
ah, and all the captains of the forces that 
were in the fields, came to Ged-a-li'ah to Miz'- 
pah, 

14 And said unto him, Dost thou certainly 
know that Ba'a-lis the king of the Am'mon- 
ites hath sent Ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah 
to slay thee? But Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'- 
kam believed them not. 

15 Then Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'ah spake 
to Ged-a-li'ah in Miz'pah secretly, saying, Let 
me go, I pray thee, and I will slay ish'ma-el 
the son of Neth-a-ni'ah, and no man shall 
know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that 
all the Jews, which are gathered unto thee 
should be scattered, and the remnant in Ju'- 
dah perish? 

16 But Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam said 
unto Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'ah, Thou shalt 
fnot do this thing: for thou speakest falsely 
of Ish'ma-el. 



The Lord said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will 
cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time 
of affliction (11). And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen 
wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against 
thee: for I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee, saith the 
Lord. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will 
redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. (Jer. 15:11, 20, 21.) 

e. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a 
cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, 
he shall in no wise lose his reward. (Mat. 10:42.) 

f. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and 
against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: 
for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon 
Jerusalem. (Dan. 9:12.) 

g. The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do 
unto me. (Heb. 13:6.) If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to 
deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of 
thine hand, O king. (Dan. 3:17.) And lead us not into temptation, but 
deliver us from evil. (Mat. 6:13.) Him, being delivered by the deter- 
minate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked 
hands have crucified and slain. (Acts 2:23.) Thou shalt compass me 
about with songs of deliverance. Selah. (Ps. 32:7.) There is no wisdom 
nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) 

Chapter 40. 

a. Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus 
unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? Then men 
shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God 
of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth 
out of the land of Egypt. (Dt. 29:24, 25.) All that found them have 
devoured them; and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they 
have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, 
the hope of their fathers. (Jer. 50:7.) 



b. Yea, all Israel hath transgressed thy law, even by departing, that 
they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, 
and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, 
because we have sinned against him. (Dan. 9:11.) 

c. I will set mine eyes upon thee. — When a man's ways please the 
Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Prov. 16:7.) 
For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all 
things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is 
to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) Be content with such things as ye have: for 
he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we 
may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man 
shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:5, 6.) 

d. Them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me 
shall be lightly esteemed. (I Sam. 2:30.) Better is little with the fear 
of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith. (Prov. 15:16.) 
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; aad all 
these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) 

e. Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to 
them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the 
spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. (Is. 16:4.) 
Neither shouldest thou [Edom] have stood in the crossway, to cut off 
those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up 
those of his that did remain in the day of distress. (Ob. 14.) 

f. The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh 
well to his going. (Prov. 14:15.) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; 
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth 
not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, 
thinketh no evil. (I Cor. 13:4, 5.) Brethren, be not children in under- 
standing: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

CHAPTER 41. 
I Ishmael, treacherously killing Gedahah and 
others, purposeth ivith the residue to flee 
unto the Ammonites. 11 Johanan recover- 
eth the captives, and mindeth to flee into 
Egypt. 

1 'Now it came to pass in the Seventh 
month, that Ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah 
the son of E-lish'a-ma, of the seed royal, and 
the princes of the king, even ten men with 
him, came unto Ged-a-H'ah the son of A-hi'kam 
to Miz'pah; and there they "did 3 eat bread to- 
gether in Miz'pah. 

2 Then arose ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a- 
ni'ah, and the ten men that were with him, 
and smote Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam the 
son of Sha'phan with the sword, and slew him, 
whom the king of Bab'y-lon had made gover- 
nor over the land. 

3 !sh'ma-el also slewj'all the Jew§ that were 
with him, even with Ged-a-li'ah, at Miz'pah, 
and the Chal-de'an§ that were found there, and 
the men of war. 

4 And it came to pass the second day after 
he had slain Ged-a-li'ah, and no man 4 knew it, 

5 That there came certain from She'chem, 
from Shi'loh, and from Sa-ma'ri-a, even four- 
score men, 'having their beards shaven, and 
their clothes rent, and having 5 cut themselves, 
with offerings and incense in their hand, to 
bring them to the house of the Lord. 

6 And Ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah 
went forth from Miz'pah to meet them, weep- 
ing all along as he went: and it came to pass, 
as he met them, he said unto them, Come to 
Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam. 

7 And it was so, when they came into the 
midst of the city, that Ish'ma-el the son of 
Neth-a-ni'ah slew them, and cast them into 
the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were 
with him. 

8 But ten men were found among them that 
said unto Ish'ma-el, Slay us not: for we have 
treasures in the field, of wheat, and of bar- 
ley, and of oil, and 'of honey. So he forbare, 
and slew them not among their brethren. 

9 Now the pit wherein Ish'ma-el had cast all 
the dead bodies of the men, whom he had 
slain because of Ged-a-li'ah, was it which A'sa 
the king had made for fear of Ba'a-sha king 
of Is'ra-el : and Ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a- 
ni'ah filled it with them that were slain. 

10 Then Ish'ma-el carried away captive all 
the residue of the people that were in Miz'pah, 
even the king's daughters, and all the people 
that remained in Miz'pah, whon Neb'u-zar-a'- 
dan the captain of the guard had committed 
to Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam: and Ish'- 
ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah carried them 
away captive, and departed to go over to the 
Am'mon-ites.

re'ah, and all the captains of the forces that

were with him, heard of all the evil that Ish'- 
ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah had done, 

12 Then they took all the men, and went to 
fight with Ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah, 
and found him by the great waters that are in 
Gib'e-on. 

13 Now it came to pass, that when all the 
people which were with Ish'ma-el saw Jo-ha'- 
nan the son of Ka-re'ah, and all the captains 
of the forces that were with him, then they 
were glad. 

14 So all the people that Ish'ma-el had car- 
ried away captive from Miz'pah cast about 
and returned, and went unto Jo-ha'nan the son 
of Ka-re'ah. 

15 But Ish'ma-el the son of Neth-a-ni'ah es- 
caped from Jo-ha'nan with eight men, and 
went to the Am'mon-ites. 

16 Then took Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'ah, 
and all the captains of the forces that were 
with him, all the remnant of the people whom 
he had recovered from Ish'ma-el the son of 
Neth-a-ni'ah, from Miz'pah, after that he had 
slain Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hi'kam, even 
mighty men of war, and the women, and the 
children, and the eunuchs, whom he had 
brought again from Gib'e-on: 

17 And they departed, and dwelt in the hab- 
itation of d Chim'ham, which is by Beth'-le- 
hem, to go to enter into E'gypt, 

18 Because of the Chal-de'an§: for they 
were afraid of them, because Ish'ma-el the 
son of Neth-a-ni'ah had slain Ged-a-li'ah the 
son of A-hi'kam, whom the king of Bab'y-lon 
made governor in the land. 

CHAPTER 42. 
1 Johanan desireth Jeremiah to enquire of 
God, promising obedience to his will. 7 Jer- 
emiah assureth him of safety in Judea, 13 
and destruction in Egypt. 19 He reproveth 
their hypocrisy, in requiring of the Lord 
that which they meant not. 

1 'Then all the captains of the forces, and 
Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'ah, and Jez-a-ni'- 
ah the son of H6sh-a-i'ah, and all the people 
from the least even unto the greatest, came 
near, 

2 And said unto Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet, 
Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be ac- 
cepted before thee, and "pray for us unto the 
Lord thy God, even for all this remnant; (for 
we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes 
do behold us:) 

3 That the Lord thy God may shew us Hhe 
way wherein we may walk, and the thing 
that we may do. 

4 Then Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet said unto 
them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray 
unto the Lord your God according to your 
words; and it shall come to pass, that what- 
soever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will 
declare it unto you ; I will 'keep nothing back 
from you. 



Chapter 41. 

a. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did 
eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. (Ps. 41:9.) But, 
behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 
(Luke 22:21.) 

b. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the good- 
ness of God endureth continually. (Ps. 52:1.) For their feet run to evil, 
and make haste to shed blood. (Prov. 1:16.) For they sleep not, except 
they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they 
cause some to fall. (Prov. 4:16.) Their feet are swift to shed blood: 
Destruction and misery are in their ways. (Rom. 3:15, 16.) 

c. Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou 
mar the corners of thy beard. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your 
flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. (Lev. 
19:27, 28.) Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut 
yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. (Dt. 
14:1.) He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: 
Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall 
be baldness, and every beard cut off. (Is. 15:2.) For every head shall 
be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, 
and upon the loins sackcloth. (Jer. 48:37.) They shall also gird them- 
selves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be 
upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. (Ez. 7:18.) 

d. Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in 



mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my 
mother: but behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my 
lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee. And the 
king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him 
that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt re- 
quire of me, that will I do for thee. (II Sam. 19:37, 38.) 
Chapter 42. 

a. And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto 
the Lord our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the 
Philistines. (I Sam. 7:8.) Confess your faults one to another, and pray 
one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of 
a righteous man availeth much. (Js. 5:16.) 

b. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine 
own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall di- 
rect thy paths. (Prov. 3:5, 6.) I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge 
and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) And again, I 
will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which 
God hath given me. (Heb. 2:13.) In God I will praise his word: in 
God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 
(Ps. 56:4.) 

c. And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. 
And he said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. (I 
Sam. 3:18.) And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you,

5 Then they said to Jer-e-mi'ah, The Lord 
be a true and faithful witness between us, if 
we do not even according to all things for the 
which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us. 

6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, 
we will f obey the voice of the Lord our God, 
to whom we send thee; that it may be well 
with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord 
our God. 

7 r ; And it came to pass after 5 ten days, that 
the word of the Lord came unto Jer-e-mi'ah. 

8 Then called he Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka- 
re'ah, and all the captains of the forces which 
were with him, and all the people from the j 
least even to the greatest, 

9 And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, 
the God of Is'ra-el, unto whom ye sent me to 
present your supplication before him; 

10 If ye will still abide in this land, then 
f'will I build you, and not pull you down, and I 
will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I 
^repent me of the evil that I have done unto 
you. 

11 Be not afraid of the king of Baby-Ion, 
of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, 
saith the Lord: ''for I am with you to save 
you, and to deliver you from his hand. 

12 And 'I will shew mercies unto you, that 
he may have mercy upon you, and cause you 
to return to your own land. 

13 r4 But if -'ye say, We will not dwell in 
this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord 
your God, 

14 Saying, No ; but we will go into the land 
of E'gypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear 
the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger ; 
of bread; and there will we dwell: 

15 And now therefore hear the word of the 
Lord, ye remnant of Ju'dah; Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts, the God of is'ra-el; If ye wholly 
set your faces to enter into E'gypt, and go to 
sojourn there; 

16 Then it shall come to pass, that the 
sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you 
there in the land of E'gypt, and the famine, | 
whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after 
you there in E'gypt; and there ye shall die. 

17 So shall it be with all the men that set 
their faces to go into E'gypt to sojourn there; 
they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and 
by the pestilence: and none of them shall re- 
main or escape from the evil that I will bring 
upon them. 

18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of is'ra-el; As mine anger and my fury hath 
been 7 -"poured forth upon the inhabitants of 
Je-ru'sa-lem; so shall my fury be poured forth 
upon you, when ye shall enter into E'gypt:

ye remnant of Ju'dah; Go ye not into 
E'gypt: know certainly that I have admonished 
you this day. 

20 For "ye 'dissembled in your hearts, when 
ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, 
Pray for us unto the Lord our God; and ac- 
cording unto all that the Lord our God shall 
say, so declare unto us, and we will do it. 

21 And now I have this day declared it to 
you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the 
Lord your God, nor any thing for the which 
he hath sent me unto you. 

22 Now therefore know certainly that ye 
shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by 
the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire 
to go and to sojourn. 

CHAPTER 43. 

1 Johanan, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, 
earrieth Jeremiah and others into Egypt. 8 
Jeremiah prophesieth by a type the conquest 
of Egypt by the Babylonians. 

1 *And it came to pass, that when Jer-e-mi'- 
ah had made an end of speaking unto all the 
people all the words of the Lord their God, 
for which the Lord their God had sent him to 
them, even all these words, 

2 Then spake Az-a-ri'ah the son of Hosh- 
a-I'ah, and "Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'ah, and 
all "the proud men, saying unto Jer-e-mi'ah, 
Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath 
not sent thee to say, Go not into E'gypt to 
sojourn there: 

3 But Ba'ruch the son of Ne-ri'ah setteth 
thee on against us, for to deliver us into the 
hand of the Chal-de'ans, that they might put 
us to death, and carry us away captives into 
Bab y-lon. 

4 So Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'ah, and all 
the captains of the forces, and all the people, 
obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in 
the land of Ju'dah. 

5 But Jo-ha'nan the son of Ka-re'ah, and all 
the captains of the forces, took all the remnant 
of Ju'dah, that were returned from all nations, 
whither they had been driven, to dwell in the 
land of Ju'dah; 

6 Even men, and women, and children, and 
the king's daughters, and every person that 
Neb'u-zar-a'dan the captain of the guard had 
left with Ged-a-li'ah the son of A-hiTcam the 
son of Sha'phan, and "Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet, 
and Ba'ruch the son of Ne-ri'ah. 

7 So they came into the land of E'gypt: for 



but have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to 
house. (Acts 20:20.) 

d. And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, 
when we are absent one from another. If thou shalt afflict my daughters, 
or if thou shalt take other wives besides my daughters, no man is with 
us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. (Gen. 31:49, 50.) 

e. And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience 
of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, 
and be obedient. (Ex. 24:7.) (I stood between the Lord and you at that 
time, to show you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid by reason 
of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying (5), Thou shalt 
have none other gods before me. (Dt. 5:5, 7.) And the people said unto 
Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. 
(Josh. 24:24.) 

i". And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, 
to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, 
and to afflict; so wili I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the 
Lord. (Jer. 31:28.) 

g. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none 
shut up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, 
when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, 
and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:44. 45.) 
Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: there- 
fore wiil I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am 
wear}- with repenting. (Jer. 15:6.) 

h. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto 
me? (Ps. 118:6.) Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed 
from the east, and gather thee from the west. (Is. 43:5.) What shall 
we then sav to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 
(Rom. 8:31.1 

i. And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented accord- 



ing to the multitude of his mercies. He made them also to be pitied of 
all those that carried them captives. (Ps. 106:45, 46.) But though he 
caused grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of 
his mercies. (Lam. 3:32.) 

j. As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of 
the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee. (Jer. 44:16.) 

k. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my 
fury shall be' poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and 
upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it 
shall burn, and shall not be quenched. (Jer. 7:20.) 

1. And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of 
the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a 
curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. (Jer. 24:9.) Then will 
I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the 
nations of the earth. (Jer. 26:6.) And I will persecute 'hem with the 
sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them 
to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an 
astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations 
whither I have driven them. (Jer. 29:1S.) 

m. And they come unto thee as the people cometh. and they sit 
before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not 
do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart 
goeth after their covetousness. (Ez. 33:31.) Be not deceived: God is not 
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Gal. 
6:7.) 

Chapter 43. 

a. Who have said. With our tongue will we prevail: our lips are our 
own: who is lord over us? (Ps. 12:4.) Your words have been stout 
against me, saith the Lord: yet ye say. What have we spoken so much 
against thee? (Mai. 3:13.) And with all deceivableness of unrighteous- 
ness in them that perish: because thev received not the love of the truth, 
that they might be saved. (II Thess. 2:10.)

they obeyed not the Toice of the Lord: thus 
came they even to Tah'pan-hes. 

8 r "Then came the word of the Lord unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah in Tah'pan-hes, saying, 

9 Take great stones in thine hand, and 
hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which 
is at the entry of Pha'raoh's house in Tah'- 
pan-hes, in the sight of the men of Ju'dah; 

10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, the God of is'ra-el; Behold, I will 
send and take 6 Neb-u-chad-rez'zar the king of 
Bab'y-lon, my servant, and will set his throne 
upon these stones that I have hid; and he 
shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 

11 And_ when he cometh, he shall smite the 
land of Egypt, and deliver c such as are for 
death 4 to death; and such as are for captivity 
*to captivity; and such as are for the sword 
*to the sword. 

12 And I wjll kindle a fire in the houses of 
the d gods of E'gypt; and he shall burn them. 
and carry them away captives: and he shall 
array himself with the land of E'gypt, as a 
shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall 
go forth from thence in peace. 

13 He shall break also the images of Beth- 
she'mesh, that is in the land of E'gypt; and 
the houses of the gods of the E-gyp'tian§ shall 
he burn with fire.

for their idolatry. 11 He prophesiet-h their 
destruction, who commit idolatry in Egypt.

threateneth them for the same, 29 and 
prophesieth the destruction of Egypt.

cerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of 
E'gypt, which dwell at Mig'dol, and at Tah'- 
pan-hes, and at Noph, and in the country of 
2 Path'ros, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Is'ra-el; Ye have seen all the evil that I have 
brought upon Je-ru'sa-lem, and upon all the 
cities of Ju'dah; and,' behold, this day they are 
a a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, 

3 Because of their wickedness which they 
have committed to provoke me to anger, in that 
they went 3 to burn 6 incense, and to serve other 
gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, 
nor your fathers. 

4 Howbeit c l sent unto you all my servants 
the prophets, rising early and sending them, 
saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that 
I hate. 

5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their 
ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no 
incense unto other gods. 

6 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was 
poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of 
Ju'dah and in the streets of Je-ru'sa-lem; and 
they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.

7 Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the 
God of hosts, the God of Is'ra-el; Wherefore 
commit ye this great evil against your souls, 
to cut off from you man and woman, child and 
suckling, out of Ju'dah, to leave you none to 
remain ; 

8 Tn that ye d provoke me unto wrath with 
the works of your hands, burning incense unto 
other gods in the land of E'gypt, whither ye 
be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves 
off, and that ye might be a curse and a re- 
proach among all the nations of the earth? 

9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your 
fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of 
Ju'dah, and the wickedness of their wives, and 
your own wickedness, and the wickedness of 
your wives, which they have committed in the 
land of Ju'dah, and in the streets of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem? 

10 They are not humbled even unto this day, 
neither have they feared, nor walked in my 
law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you 
and before your fathers. 

11 II Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Is'ra-el; Behold, e I will set my 
face against you for evil, and to cut off all 
Ju'dah. 

12 And I will take the remnant of Ju'dah, 
that have set their faces to go into the land of 
E'gypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be 
consumed, and fall in the land of E'gypt; 
they shall even be consumed by the sword and 
by the famine: they shall die, from the least 
even unto the greatest, by the sword and by 
the famine: and they shall be an execration, 
and an astonishment, and a curse, and a re- 
proach. 

13 Fori will punish them that dwell in the 
land of E'gypt, as I have punished Je-ru'sa- 
lem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence: 

14 So that none of the remnant of Ju'dah, 
which are gone into the land of E'gypt to so- 
journ there, shall escape or remain, that they 
should return into the land of Ju'dah, to the 
which they have a desire to return to dwell 
there: for none shall return but such as shall 
escape. 

15 II 5 Then all the men which knew that 
their wives had burned incense unto other 
gods, and all the women that stood by, a great 
multitude i even all the people that dwelt m the 
land of E'gypt, in Path'ros, answered Jer-e- 
mi'ah, saying, 

16 As for the word that thou hast spoken 
unto us in the name of the Lord, fwe will not 
hearken unto thee. 

17 But we will certainly #do whatsoever 
thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to 
burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and 
to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we 
have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and 
our princes, in the cities of Ju'dah, and in the 



b. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will give the land 
of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her 
multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey: and it shall be the 
wages for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor 
wherewith he served against it [Tyre], because they wrought for me, 
saith the Lord God. (Ez. 29:19, 20.) 

c. And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall 
we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the Lord; Such as 
are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; 
and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the 
captivity, to the captivity. (Jer. 15:2.) Then said I, I will not feed you: 
that that dieth. let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut 
off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. (Zech. 11:9.) 

d. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will 
smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and 
against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. 
(Ex. 12:12.) 

Chapter 44. 

a. Behold, I will command, saith the Lord, and cause them to return 
to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it 
with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an 
inhabitant. (Jer. 34:22.) And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den 
of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an in- 
habitant. (Jer. 9:11.) 

b. Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, 
and have burnt incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor 



their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this 
place with the blood of innocents. (Jer. 19:4.) They sacrificed unto 
devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came 
newly up, whom your fathers feared not. (Dt. 32:17.) 

c. And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, 
rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, 
and on his dwelling place. (II Chr. 36:15.) And the Lord hath sent 
unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; 
but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. (Jer. 25:4.) 

d. And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, 
and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will 
do you no hurt. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord; 
that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your 
own hurt. (Jer. 25:6, 7.) 

e. And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, 
and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face 
against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. (Lev. 
20:6.) And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence 
will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine 
eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. (Amos 9:4.) 

f. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for 
the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall 
find rest for your souls. But they said. We will not walk therein. 
(Jer. 6:16.) 

g. That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and pe-form; 
even a free-will offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord

streets of Je-ru'sa-lem : for then had we plenty 
of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. 

18 But since we left off to burn incense to 
the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink of- 
ferings unto her. we have wanted all things, 
and have been consumed by the sword and by 
the famine. 

19 And when we burned incense to the queen 
of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto 
her, did we make her cakes to worship her. 
and pour out drink offerings unto her, without 
our men? 

20 r Then Jer-e-ml'ah said unto all the peo- 
ple, to the men, and to the women, and to all 
the people which had given him that answer, 
saying, 

21 '"The incense that ye burned in the cities 
of Ju'dah, and in the streets of Je-ru sa-lem, 
ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your 
princes, and the people of the land, did not 
the Lord remember them, and came it not into ' 
his mind? 

22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, 
because of the evil of your doings, and be- 
cause of the abominations *vhich ye have com- 

.mitted; therefore is your land A a desolation, 
and an astonishment, and a curse, without an 
inhabitant, as at this da3'. 

23 Because ye have burned incense, and be- 
cause ye have sinned against the Lord, and 
have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor 
walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in 
his testimonies; therefore 'this evil is hap- 
pened unto you, as at this day. 

24 \Moreover Jer-e-mi'ah said unto all the 
people, and to all the .women, Hear the word 
of the Lord, all Ju'dah that are in the land of 
E'gypt : 

25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
is'ra-el, saying; Ye and your wives have both | 
spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with 
your 5 hand, saying, We will surely perform 
our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense 
to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink 
offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish 
your vows, and surely perform your vows. 

26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, 
all Ju'dah that dwell in the land of E'gypt; 
Behold, -T have sworn by my great name, saith 
the Lord, that '-'my name shall no more be 1 
named in the mouth of any man of Ju'dah in 
all the land of E'gypt, saying, The Lord God 
liveth. 

27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, 
and not for good: and all_ the men of Ju'dah 
that are in the land of E'gypt shall be con- 
sumed by the sword and by the famine, until 
there be an end of them. 

28 Yet 'a small number that escape the 
sword shall return out of the land of E'gypt 
into the land of Ju'dah, and all the remnant 
of Ju'dah, that are gone into the land of E'gypt 
to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall 
stand, mine, or their's.

Pha'raoh-hoph'ra king of E'gypt into the hand 
of his enemies, and into the hand of them 
that seek his life ; as I gave Zed-e-ki ah king 
of Ju'dah into the hand of Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king of Baby-Ion, his enemy, and that sought 
his life. 

CHAPTER 45. 

1 Baruch being dismayed, 4 Jeremiah in- 

structeth and comforteth him. 

1 a The a word that Jer-e-mi'ah the prophet 
spake unto "Ba ruch the son of Ne-ri ah, when 
he had written these words in a book at the 
mouth of Jer-e-mi'ah, in the fourth year of 
Je-hoi'a-kim the son of Jo-si'ah king of Ju'- 
day, saying, 

2 2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is'ra-el, 
unto thee, O Baruch; 

3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the 
Lord hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted 
in my sighing, and I find no rest. 

4 ^ Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord 
saith thus; Behold, that which I have built 
will I break down, and that which I hav2 
planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. 

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? 
seek them not : for, behold, l I will bring evil 
upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life 
will I give unto thee for a prey in all places 
whither thou goest. 

CHAPTER 46. 
1 Jeremiah prophesieth the overthrow of Pha- 
raoh's army at Euphrates, 13 and the con- 
quest of Egypt by Nebuchadrezzar. 27 He 
comforteth Jacob in their chastisement. 

1 J The word of the Lord which came to Jer- 
e-mi'ah the prophet against the Gen 'tiles; 

2 Against E'gypt, "against the army of 
"Pha'ra5h-ne'cho king of E'gypt, which was by 
the river Eu-phra'tes in Car'che-mish, which 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon smote in 
the fourth year of Je-hoi'a-kim the son of 
Jo-si'ah king of Ju'dah. 

3 3 Order ye the 4 buckler and shield, and 
draw near to battle. 

4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horse- 
men, and stand forth with your helmets; fur- 
bish the spears, and put on the ^rigandines. 

5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed 
and turned away back? and their mighty ones 
are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look 
not back: for fear was round about, saith the 
Lord. 

6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty 
man escape; they shall stumble, and fall to- 
ward the north by the river Eu-phra'tes. 

7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, 
whose waters are moved as the rivers? 

8 E'gypt riseth up like a flood, and his wa- 



thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. (Dt. 23:23.) And 
she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the 
Lord, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth ; 
forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, 
even of the children of Ammon. (Jud. 11:36.) 

h. And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment: 
and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years (11). 
To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and 
the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an 
hissing, and a curse: as it is this day (18). He hath forsaken his covert, 
as the lion : for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the 
oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. (Jer. 25:11, 18, 38.) 

i. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law. even by departing, that 
they might not obey thy voice: therefore the curse is poured upon us, and 
the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because 
we have sinned against him. And he hath confirmed his words, which 
he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing 
upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as 
hath been done upon Jerusalem. (Dan. 9:11, 12.) 

j. By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord: for because thou hast 
done this thing, and hast not withheld thv son, thine only son: That in 
blessing I will bless thee. (Gen. 22:1«, 17.1 

k. But unto the wicked God saith. What hast thou to do to declare 



mv statutes, or that thou shouldest take mv covenant in thy mouth? 
(Ps. 50:16.) 

1. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, 
I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them 
utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their 
God. (Lev. 26:44.) O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: 
O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the 
years make known; in wrath remember mercy. (Hab. 3:2.) 

Chapter 45. 

a. The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I 
should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he 
wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the 
learned. (Is. 50:4.) 

b. And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, 
and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: 
and the king of Sheshaeh shall drink after them. (Jer. 25:26.) 

Chapter 46. 

a. Make bright the arrows: gather the shields: the Lord hath raised 
up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Bab- 
ylon, to destroy it: because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the ven- 
geance of his temple. (Jer. 51:11.) He that dasheth in pieces is come 
up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins 
strong, fortify thy power mightily. (Xah. 2:1.)

ters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I 
will go up, and will cover the earth; I will 
destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. 

9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chari- 
ots; and let the mighty men come forth; the 
E-thi-o'pi-ans and the LIb'y-an§, that handle 
the shield; and the Lyd'i-ans, that handle and 
bend the bow. 

10 For this is & the day of the Lord God of 
hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge 
him of his adversaries: and c the sword shall 
devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk 
with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts 
hath a sacrince in the north country by the 
river Eu-phra'tes. 

11 Go up into Gil'e-ad, and take 6 balm, 
virgin, the daughter of E'gypt: in vain shalt 
thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not 
be 7 cured. 

12 The nations have heard of thy shame, 
and thy cry hath filled the land : for the mighty 
man hath stumbled against the mighty, and 
they are fallen both together. 

13 1i 8 The word that the Lord spake to Jer- 
e-im'ah the prophet, how Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king of Bab'y-lon should come and d smite the 
land of E'gypt. 

14 Declare ye in E'gypt, and publish in 
Mig'dol, and publish in Noph and in Tah'pan- 
he§: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; 
for the sword shall devour round about thee. 

15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? 
they stood not, because the Lord did drive 
them. 

16 "He made many to fall, yea, one fell 
upon another: and they said, Arise, and let 
us go again to our own people, and to the land 
of our nativity, from the oppressing sword. 

17 They did cry there, Pha'raoh king of 
E'gypt is but a 10 noise; he hath passed the 
time appointed. 

18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is 
the Lord of hosts, Surely as Ta'bor is among 
the mountains, and as Car'mel by the sea, so 
shall he come. 

19 thou daughter dwelling in E'gypt, fur- 
nish thyself to go into captivity: for "Noph 
shall be waste and desolate without an inhab- 
itant. 

20 E'gypt is like a very fair heifer, but de- 
struction cometh; it cometh out of the north. 

21 Also her hired men are in the midst of 
her like fatted bullocks; for they also are 
turned back, and are fled away together: they 
did not stand, because the day of their calam- 
ity was come upon them, and the time of their 
visitation. 

22 e The 12 voice thereof shall go like a ser- 
pent; for they shall march with an army, and 
come against her with "axes, as hewers of 
wood. 

23 They shall cut down her forest, saith 
the Lord, though it cannot be searched; be- 
cause they are more than the grasshoppers, and 
are innumerable.

behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy 
seed from the land of their captivity; and Ja'- 
cob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, 
and none shall make him afraid. 

28 Fear thou not, O Ja'cob my servant, saith 
the Lord: for I am with thee; for I will make 
a full end of all the nations whither I have 
driven thee: but I will not make a full end 
of thee, but correct thee in measure: yet will 
I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

The destruction of the Philistines. 

1 ^he word of the Lord that came to Jer-e- 
mi'ah the "prophet against the Phi-lis'tine§, 
before that Pha'raoh smote Ga'za. 

2 2 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters rise 
up out of the north, and shall be an overflow- 
ing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all 
that is therein; the city, and them that dwell 
therein : then the men shall cry, and all the 
inhabitants of the land shall howl. 

3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs 
of his strong horses, at the rushing of his 
chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, 
the fathers shall not look back to their chil- 
dren for feebleness of hands; 

4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil 
all the Phi-lis'tines, and to cut off from 6 Ty'rus 
and Zi'don every helper that remaineth: for 
the Lord will spoil the Phi-lis'tines, the rem- 
nant of the country of Caph'tor. 

5 Baldness is come upon Ga'za; Ash'ke-lon 
is cut off with the remnant of their valley: 
how long wilt thou 3 cut thyself? 

6 O thou sword c of the Lord, how long will 
it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into 
thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 

7 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath 
given it a charge against Ash'ke-lon, and 
against the 4 sea shore? there hath he appoint- 
ed it.

1 x Against 2 Mo'ab thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of is'ra-el; Woe unto 3 Ne'bo! 
for it is spoiled : *KIr-I-a-tha'im is confounded 



b. Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a 
destruction from the Almighty shall it come. (Joel 1:15.) 

c. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword devour 
flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the 
beginning of revenges upon the enemy. (Dt. 32:42.) The sword of the 
Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the 
blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the 
Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of 
Idumea. (Is. 34:6.) 

d. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give the land 
of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her 
multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the 
wages for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor 
wherewith he served against it [Tyre], because they wrought for me, 
saith the Lord God. (Ez. 29:19, 20.) Fulfilled B. C. 571. 

e. And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the 
ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall 
be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy 
speech shall whisper out of the dust. (Is. 29:4.) 

f. Thus saith the Lord God; I.will also destroy the idols, and I will 



cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a 
prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 
(Ez. 30:13.) 

g. Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from 
the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and 
thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. (Is. 44:2.) 

Chapter 47. 

a. Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt 
by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy 
it for the old hatred; Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will 
stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cher- 
ethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea-coast. (Ez. 25:15, 16.) 

b. Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations 
to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me (17). And all the kings of 
Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are 
beyond the sea. (Jer. 25:17, 22.) 

c. And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I 
am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and 
will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. (Ez. 21:3.)

caused a cry to be heard. 

5 For in the going up of Lu'hith continual 
weeping shall go up; for in the going down 
of Hor-o-na'im the enemies have heard a cry 
of destruction. 

6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath 
in the wilderness. 

7 ff°For because thou hast trusted in thy 
works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be 
taken: and Che'mosh shall go forth into cap- 
tivity with his priests and his princes to- 
gether. 

8 And the spoiler shall come upon every 
city, and no city shall escape: the valley also 
shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, 
as the Lord hath spoken. 

9 7 Give wings unto MS'ab, that it may flee 
and get away: for the cities thereof shall be 
desolate, without any to dwell therein. 

10 6 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the 
Lord s deceitfully, and cursed be that keepeth 
back his sword from blood. 

11 If Mo'ab hath been at ease from his youth, 
and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not 
been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither 
hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste 
remained in him, and his scent is not changed. 

12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that I will send unto him'wanderers, 
that shall cause him to wander, and shall 
empty his vessels, and break their bottles. 

13 And Mo'ab shall be ashamed of Che'- 
mosh, as the house of Is'ra-el was ashamed of 
"Beth'-el their confidence. 

14 If How say ye, We are mighty and strong 
men for the war? 

15 Mo'ab is spoiled, and gone up out of her 
cities, and his chosen young men are gone 
down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose 
name is the Lord of hosts. 

16 "The calamity of Mo'ab is near to come, 
and his affliction hasteth fast. 

17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; 
and all ye that know his name, say, c How is 
the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod! 

18 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dl'bon, 
come down from thy glory, and sit in "thirst; 
for the spoiler of Mo'ab shall come upon thee, 
and he shall destroy thy strong holds. 

19 inhabitant of Ar'o-er, stand by the way, 
and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that es- 
capeth, and say, What is done? 

20 Mo'ab is confounded; for it is broken 
down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Ar'non, that 
Mo'ab is spoiled, 

21 And judgment is come upon the plain 
country; upon H5'16n, and upon Ja-ha'zah, and 
upon Meph'a-ath, 

22 And unon D'i'bon, and upon NeT)o, and 
upon Beth-dib-la-tha'im,

23 And upon Kir-i-a-tha'im, and upon Beth- 
ga'mul, and upon Beth-me'on, 

24 And upon Ke'ri-oth, and upon Boz'rah, 
and upon all the cities of the land of Mo'ab, 
far or near. 

25 The horn of Mo'ab is cut off, and his 
arm is broken, saith the Lord. 

26 IT '"Make ^ye him drunken : for he magni- 
fied himself against the Lord: Mo'ab also shall 
wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in 
derision. 

27 For e was not is'ra-el a derision unto 
thee? was he found among thieves? for since 
thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy. 

28 ye that dwell in Mo'ab, leave the cities, 
and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that 
maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's 
mouth. 

29 We have heard the pride of Mo'ab, (he 
is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arro- 
gancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of 
his heart. 

30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it 
shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it. 

31 Therefore ''will I howl for Mo'ab, and I 
will cry out for all MS'ab; mine heart shall 
mourn for the men of Kir-he're§. 

32 vine of Sib'mah, I will weep for thee 
with the weeping of Ja'zer: thy plants are 
gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea 
of Ja'zer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy sum- 
mer fruits and upon thy vintage. 

33 And joy and gladness is taken from the 
plentiful field, and from the land of Mo'ab; 
and I have caused wine to fail from the wine- 
presses: none shall tread with shouting; their 
shouting shall be no shouting. 

34 From the cry of Hesh'bon even unto 
E-le-a'leh, and even unto Ja'haz, have they 
uttered their voice, from ZS'ar even unto Hor- 
o-na'im, as an heifer of three years old: for 
the waters also of Nim'rim shall be desolate. 

35 Moreover I will cause to cease in MS'ab, 
saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high 
places, and him that burneth incense to his 
gods. 

36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for 
MS'ab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound 
like pipes for the men of Kir-he're§: because 
the riches that he hath gotten are perished. 

37 For -"every head shall be bald, and every 
beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be 
cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 

38 There shall be lamentation generally 
upon all the house tops of MS'ab, and in the 
streets thereof: for I have broken MS'ab like 
a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord. 

39 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken 
down! how hath MS'ab turned the back with 
shame! so shall Mo'ab be a derision and a dis- 
maying to all them about him. 

40 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he 
"shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his 
wings over MS'ab. 

41 Ke'ri-oth is taken, and the ^strong holds 
are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in 
MS'ab at that day shall be as the heart of a 
woman in her pangs. 

42 And MS'ab shall be destroyed from being 
a people, because he hath magnified himself 
against the Lord. 



Chapter 18. 

a. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted 
in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wicked- 
ness. (Ps. 52:7.) 

b. Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the 
inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to 
i!m help of the Lord against the mighty. (Jud. 5:23.) 

c. For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of 
his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. (Is. 9:4.) 

d. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine- 
cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send 
thee, to drink it. (Jer. 25:15.) 

e. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be 
glad when he stumbleth. (Prov. 24:17.) I have heard the reproach of 



Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have 
reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. 
(Zeph. 2:8.) 

f. My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto 
Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith 
with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they 
shall raise up a cry of destruction. (Is. 15:5.) 

g. He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: 
Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall 
be baldness, and every beard cut off. In their streets they shall gird 
themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their 
streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly. (Is. 15:2, 3.) 

h. And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrow shall take hold of 
them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be 
amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. (Is. 13:8.)

43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare shall be 
upon thee, inhabitant of Mo'ab, saith the 
Lord. 

44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into 
the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit 
shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring 
upon it, even upon Mo'ab, the year of their 
visitation, saith the Lord. 

45 They that fled stood under the shadow of 
Hesh'bon because of the force: but a fire 
shall come forth out of Hesh'bon, and a flame 
from the midst of ST'hon, and shall devour the 
corner of Mo'ab, and the crown of the head of 
the tumultuous ones. 

46 Woe be unto thee, Mo'ab! the people 
of Che'mosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken 
captives, and thy daughters captives. 

47 If Yet will I bring again the captivity of 
Mo'ab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus 
far is the judgment of Mo'ab. 

CHAPTER 49.

restoration. 7 The judgment of Edom, 23 
of Dawiascus, 28 of Kedar, 30 of Hazor. 
34 and of Elam. 39 The restoration of 
Elam. 

1 'Concerning the Am'mon-ites, thus saith 
the Lord; Hath Is'ra-el no sons? hath he no 
heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, 
and his people dwell in his cities? 

2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the 
Lord, that I will cause an alarm of war to be 
heard in Rab'bah of the Am'mon-ites; and it 
shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters 
shall be burned with fire: then shall Is'ra-el be 
heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the 
Lord. 

3 Howl, Hesh'bon, for A'l is spoiled: cry, 
ye daughters of Rab'bah, gird you with sack- 
cloth; lament, and run to and fro by the 
hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, 
and his priests and his princes together. 

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy 
flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that 
trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall 
come unto me? 

5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, 
saith the Lord God of hosts, from all those 
that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out 
every man right forth; and none shall gather 
up him that wandereth. 

6 And afterward I will bring again the cap- 
tivity of the children of Am'mon, saith the 
Lord. 

7 1f Concerning a E'dom, thus saith the Lord 
of hosts; Is wisdom no more in 3 Te'man? is 
counsel perished from the prudent? is their 
wisdom vanished? 

8 Flee ye, turn back, 4 dwell 6 deep, O inhabi- 
tantsof De'dan; for I will bring the calamity 
c of "E'sau upon him, the time that I will visit 
him. 

9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they 
not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by 
night, they will destroy till they have enough. 

10 But I have made E'sau bare, I have un- 
covered his secret places, and he shall not be 
able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and 
his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is 
not.

11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will pre- 
serve them alive; and let thy widows trust in 
me. 

12 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, they 
whose judgment was not to drink of the cup 
have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that 
shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt 
not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink 
of it. 

13 For d I have sworn by myself, saith the 
Lord, that Boz'rah shall become a desolation, 
a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the 
cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. 

14 I have heard a 'rumour from the Lord, 
and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, 
saying, Gather ye together, and come against 
her, and rise up to the battle. 

15 For, lo, I will make thee small among 
the heathen, and despised among men. 

16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and 
the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest 
in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the 
height of the hill: though thou shouldest make 
thy nest as high as the eagle, 1 will bring 
thee down from thence, saith the Lord. 

17 Also E'dom shall be a desolation: every 
one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and 
shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. 

18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Go- 
mor'rah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith 
the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither 
shall a son of man dwell in it. 

19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from 
the swelling of Jor'dan against the habitation 
of the strong: but I will suddenly make him 
run away from her: and who is a chosen man, 
that I may appoint over her? for who is like 
me? and who will appoint me the time? and 
who is that shepherd that will stand before 
me? 

20 Therefore shear the counsel of the Lord, 
that he hath taken against E'dom; and his 
purposes, that he hath purposed against the 
inhabitants of Te'man: Surely the least of the 
flock shall draw them out: surely he shall 
make their habitations desolate with them. 

21 The earth is moved at the noise of their 
fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard 
in the Red sea. 

22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the 
eagle, and spread his wings over Boz'rah: and 
at that day shall the heart of the mighty men 
of E'dom be as the heart of a woman in her 
pangs. 

23 If Concerning Da-mas'cus. Ha'math is 
confounded, and Ar'pad: for they have heard 
evil tidings: they are fainthearted; ''there is 
sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. 

24 Da-mas'cus is waxed feeble, and turneth 
herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: 
anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a 
woman in travail. 

25 How is the city of praise not left, the 
city of my joy! 

26 Therefore her young men shall fall in 
her streets, and all the men of war shall be 
cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts. 

27 And I will kindle a ^fire in the wall of 
Da-mas'cus, and it shall consume the palaces 
of Ben-ha'dad. 

28 II Concerning Ke'dar, and concerning the 



Chapter 49. 

a. Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Edom, and for 
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue 
his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did 
tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever. (Amos 1:11.) 

h. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves 
of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, 
■when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. (Is. 2:19.) 

c. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto 
the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. (Mai. 3:4.) 

d. And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord; for because 
thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy 'son, thine only 
son. (Gen. 22:16.) 

e. Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art 
greatly despised. (Ob. 2.) 



f. The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will estab- 
lish the border of the widow. (Prov. 15:25.) Though they dig into hell, 
thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, 
thence will I bring them dewn. (Amos 9:2.) 

g. Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken 
against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against tho 
land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them 
out; surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. (Jer. 
50:45.) 

h. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, 
whose waters cast up mire and dirt. (Is. 57:20.) Tribulation and anguish, 
upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of 
the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) 

i. But I will send a Are into the house of Hazael, which shall de- 
vour the palaces of Benhadad. (Amos 1:4.)

kingdoms of Ha'zor, which Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king of Bab'y-lon shall smite, thus saith the 
Lord; Arise ye, go up to Ke'dar, and spoil 
the men of the east. 

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they 
take away: they shall take to themselves their 
curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; 
and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on 
every side. 

30 r Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, ye 
inhabitants of Ha'zor, saith the Lord; for 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon hath 
taken counsel against you, and hath conceived 
a purpose against you. 

31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy na- 
tion, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, 
which have neither gates nor bars, which 
•'dwell alone. 

32 And their camels shall be a booty, and 
the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I 
will scatter into all winds them that are in 
the utmost corners; and I will bring their 
calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord. 

33 And Ha'zor shall be a dwelling for 
T dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall 
no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell 
in it. 

34 *y The word of the Lord that came to Jer- 
e-mi'ah the prophet against E'lam in the be- 
ginning of the reign of Zed-e-kl'ah king of 
Ju'dah, saying, 

35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I 
will break the bow of E'lam, the chief of their 
might. 

36 And upon E'lam will I bring the four 
winds from the four quarters of heaven, and 
will scatter them toward all those winds; and 
there shall be no nation whither the outcasts 
of E'lam shall not come. 

37 For I will cause E'lam to be dismayed 
before their enemies, and before them that 
seek their life: and I will bring evil upon 
them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; 
and I will send the sword after them, till I 
have consumed them: 

38 And I will set my throne in E'lam, and 
will destroy from thence the king and the 
princes, saith the Lord. 

39 r But it shall come to pass in the s latter 
days, that I will bring again the captivity of 
E'lam, saith the Lord.

3 For out of the *north there cometh up a 
nation against her, which shall make her land 
desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they 
shall remove, they shall depart, both man and 
beast. 

4 If In those "days, and in that time, saith 
the Lord, the children of Is'ra-el shall come, 
they and the children of Ju'dah together, go- 
ing and 6 weeping: they shall go, and seek the 
c Lord their God. 

5 They shall ask the way to Zi'on with their 
faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us 
join ourselves to the Lord in d a perpetual cov- 
enant that shall not be forgotten. 

6 My people hath been lost sheep: their 
shepherds have caused them to go astray, they 
have turned them away on the mountains: 
they have gone from mountain to hill, they 
have forgotten their restingplace. 

7 All that found them have devoured them: 
and their adversaries said, f We offend not, 
because they have sinned against the Lord, 
the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the 
hope of their fathers. 

8 Remove out of the midst of Bab'y-lon, and 
go forth out of the land of the Chal-de'ans, 
and be as the he goats before the flocks. 

9 r For, lo, I will raise and cause to come 
up against Bab'y-lon an assembly of great 
nations from the north country: and they 
shall set themselves in array against her; 
from thence she shall be taken: their arrows 
shall be as of a mighty expert man; none 
shall return in vain. 

10 And Chal-de'a shall be a spoil: fall that 
spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord. 

11 6 Because ye were glad, because ye re- 
joiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, be- 
cause ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, 
and bellow as bulls; 

12 Your 7 mother shall be sore confounded; 
she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, 
the hindermost of the nations shall be a wil- 
derness, a dry land, and a desert. 

13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall 
not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly deso- 
late: every one that goeth by Bab'y-lon shall 
be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. 

14 Put yourselves in array against Bab'y- 
lon round about : all ye that bend the bow, 
shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath 
sinned against the Lord. 

_ 15 Shout against her round about : she hath 
given her hand: her foundations are fallen, 
her walls are thrown down : for it is the venge- 
ance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; 
-"as she hath done, do unto her. 

16 Cut off the sower from Bab'y-lon, and 
him that handleth the sickle in the time of 
harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they 
shall turn every one to his people, and they 
shall flee every one to his own land. 

17 If 5 Is'ra-el is ''a scattered sheep ; the lions 
have driven him away: first the king of As- 



j. For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I 
behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned 
among the nations. (Num. 23:9.) Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: 
the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his 
heavens shall drop down dew. (Dt. 33:28.) 

Chapter 50. 

a. And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt: and 
he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array 
himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garments; 
and he shall go forth from thence in peace. (Jer. 43:12.) 

b. But many of the priests and Levites, and chief of the fathers, 
who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the founda- 
tion of this house was laid before their ey^s, wept with a loud voice; 
and many shouted aloud for joy. (Ezra 3:12.) And I will pour upon 
the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of 
grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they 
have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his 
only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness 
for his first-born. fZech. 12:10.) 

c. Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord 
their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his good- 
ness in the latter days. (Hos. 3:5.) Ask, and it shall he given you; 
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 
7 7 i And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for 



thou. Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) And he 
went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all 
Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him- 
and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he 
will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I sought the Lord, and he heard me, 
and delivered me from all my fears. (Ps. 34:4.) 

d. At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the 
families of Israel, and they shall be my people. (Jer. 31:1.) For ye 
were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd 
and Bishop of your souls. (I Pet. 2:25.) 

e. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let 
thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy 
holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, 
Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about 
us. (Dan. 9:16.) 

f. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall 
hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat 
her flesh, and burn her with fire. (Rev. 17:16.) 

g. O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he 
be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. (Ps. 137:8.) Reward 
her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according 
to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. (Rev. 
18:6.)

syr'i-a hath devoured him; and last this Neb- 
u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon hath broken 
his bones. 

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Is'ra-el; Behold, I will punish the 
king of Bab'y-lon and his land, as I have pun- 
ished the king of As-syr'i-a. 

19 And I mil bring Is'ra-el again to his 
habitation, and he shall feed on Cdr'mel and 
Bd'shan 1 and his soul shall be satisfied upon 
mount E'phra-im and Gil'e-ad. 

20 In those days, and in that time, saith the 
Lord, l the iniquity of Is'ra-el shall be sought 
for, and there shall be none; and the sins of 
Ju'dah, and they shall not be found: for I 
will 'pardon Hhem whom I reserve. 

21 If K 'Go up against the land of Mer-a-tha'- 
im, even against it, and against the inhabit- 
ants of Pe'kod : waste and utterly destroy after 
them, saith the Lord, and do '''according to all 
that I have commanded thee. 

22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of 
great destruction. 

23 How is the "hammer of the whole earth 
cut asunder and broken! how is Bab'y-lon be- 
come a desolation among the nations! 

24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou 
art also taken, Bab'y-lon, and thou wast 
not aware: thou art found, and also caught, 
because thou hast striven against the Lord. 

25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and 
hath. brought forth the weapons of his "indig- 
nation : for this is the work of the Lord God 
of hosts in the land of the Chal-de'an§. 

26 Come against her from the utmost bor- 
der, open her storehouses: cast her up as 
heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of 
her be left. 

27 Slay all her "bullocks; let them go down 
to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day 
is come, the time of their visitation. 

28 The voice of them that flee and escape 
out of the land of Bab'y-lon, to declare in 
Zi'on the vengeance of the Lord our God, the 
vengeance of his terpple. 

29 "Call together the archers against Bab'y- 
lon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it 
round about; let none thereof escape: recom- 
pense 'her according to her work; according 
to all that she hath done, do unto her : '"for she 
hath been proud against the Lord, against the 
Holy One of Is'ra-el. 

30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the 
streets, and all her men of war shall be cut 
off in that day, saith the Lord. 

31 Behold, I am against thee, thou most 
proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy 
day is come, the time that I will visit thee. 

32 And the most proud shall stumble and 
fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will 
kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour 
all round about him. 

33 II Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; The chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el and the children of Ju'dah 
were oppressed together: and all that took 
them captives held them fast; they refused to 
let them go.

34 Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of 
hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead 
their cause, that he may give rest to the land, 
and disquiet the inhabitants of Bab'y-lon. 

35 H A sword is upon the Chal-de'an§, saith 
the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Bab'y- 
lon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise 
men. 

36 A sword is upon the 15 liars; and they 
shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; 
and they shall be dismayed. 

37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon 
their chariots, and upon all the mingled peo- 
ple that are in the midst of her; and they 
shall become as women : a sword is upon her 
treasures; and they shall be robbed. 

38 A drought is upon her waters; and they 
shall be dried up : for it is the land of graven 
images, and they are mad upon their idols. 

39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert 
with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell 
there, and the owls shall dwell therein : "and 
it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither 
shall it be dwelt in from generation to genera- 
tion. 

40 As God overthrew Sod'om and Go-mor'- 
rah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the 
Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither 
shall any son of man dwell therein. 

41 lc Behold, a people shall come from the 
north, and a great nation, and many kings 
shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 

42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: 
they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their 
voice shall roar like the sea, and thev shall 
ride upon horses, every one put in array, like 
a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter 
of Bab'y-lon. 

43 The king of Bab'y-lon hath heard the 
report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: 
anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a' 
woman in travail. 

44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from 
the swelling of Jor'dan unto the habitation of 
the strong: but I will make them suddenly 
run away from her: and who is a chosen man, 
that I may appoint over her? for who is like 
me? and who will appoint me the time? and 
who is that shepherd that will stand before 
me? 

45 Therefore hear ye "the counsel of the 
Lord, that he hath taken against Bab'y-lon; 
and his purposes, that he hath purposed 
against the land of the Chal-de'an§: Surely 
Pthe least of the flock shall draw them out: 
surely he shall make their habitation desolate 
with them. 

46 At the noise of the taking of Bab'y-lon 
the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among 
the nations.

valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and 
for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, 
and parted my land. (Joel 3:2.) 

i. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every 
man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, 
from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for 
I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 
(Jer. 31:34.) 

j. Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, 
we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto 
Gomorrah. (Is. 1:9.) 

k. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the 
people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and 
to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 
(Is. 10:6.) That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform 
all my pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and 
to the temple. Thy foundation shall be laid. (Is. 44:28.) Behold, I will 
command, saith the Lord, and cause them to return to this city; and 
they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I 
will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant. (Jer. 
34:22.) 



1. Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work 
of their hands. (Lam. 3:64.) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 
How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our 
blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Rev. 6:10.) But I will punish 
you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord; and I will 
kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round 
about it. (Jer. 21:14.) 

m. For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None 
seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and 
thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else besides me. (Is. 47:10.) 

n. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from 
generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; 
neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. (Is. 13:20.) 

o. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his 
heart to all generations. (Ps. 33:11.) The Lord of hosts hath sworn, 
saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have 
purposed, so shall it stand. (Is. 14:24.) 

p. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound 
the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to con- 
found the things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:27.)

Ch. 



JEREMIAH 



• B. C. 595 



1 'Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise 
up against Bab'y-lon, and against them that 
dwell in the midst of them that rise up against 
me, a destroying wind; 

2 And will send unto Bab'y-lon fanners, 
that shall "fan her, and shall empty her land: 
for in the day of trouble they shall be against 
her round about. 

3 Against him that bendeth let the archer 
bend his bow, and against him that lifteth 
himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not 
her young men; destroy ye utterly all her 
host. 

4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of 
the Chal-de'ans, and they that are thrust 
through in her streets. 

5 Tor Is'ra-el hath not been forsaken, nor 
Ju'dah of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though 
their land was filled with sin against the Holy 
One of is'ra-el. 

6 a Flee out of the midst of Bab'y-lon, and 
deliver every man his soul : be not cut off in 
her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord's 
vengeance; he will render unto her a recom- 
pence. 

7 Bab'y-lon hath been a golden cup in the 
Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken : 
the nations have drunken of her wine; there- 
fore the nations are mad. 

8 Bab'y-lon is suddenly ^fallen and des- 
troyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, 
if so be she may be healed. 

9 We would have healed Bab'y-lon, but she 
is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every 
one into his own country: for her judgment 
reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to 
the skies. 

10 The Lord hath brought forth our right- 
eousness: come, and let us declare in Zi'on 
the work of the Lord our God. 

11 Make bright the arrows; gather the 
shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of 
the kings of the Medes: for his device is 
against Bab'y-lon, to destroy it; because it is 
the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of 
his temple. 

12 Set up the standard upon the walls of 
Bab'y-lon, make the watch strong, set up the 
watchmen, prepare the ambushes : for the Lord 
hath both devised and done that which he 
spake against the inhabitants of Bab'y-lon. 

13 c O thou that dwellest upon many waters, 
abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and 
the measure of thy covetousness. 

14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by him- 
self, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, 
as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a 
shout against thee. 

15 4 He hath made the earth by his power, 
he hath established the world by his wisdom, 
and hath stretched out the heaven by his un- 
derstanding. 

16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a 
multitude of waters in the heavens; and he 
causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends 
of the earth : he maketh lightnings with rain, 
and bringeth forth the wind out of his treas- 
ures. 

17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; 
every founder is confounded by the graven

image: for his molten image is falsehood, and 
there is no breath in them. 

18 They are vanity, the work of errors: in 
the time of their visitation they shall perish. 

19 The portion of Ja'cob is not like them; 
for he is the former of all things: and Is'ra-el 
is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts 
is his name. 

20 Thou art my battle ax and weapons of 
war: for with thee will I break in pieces the 
nations, and with thee will I destroy king- 
doms ; 

21 And with thee will I break in pieces the 
horse and his rider; and with thee will I break 
in pieces the chariot and his rider; 

22 With thee also will I break in pieces 
man and woman; and with thee will I break 
in pieces d old and young; and with thee will I 
break in pieces the young man and the maid; 

23 I will also break in pieces with thee the 
shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I 
break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke 
of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces 
captains and rulers. 

24 And I will render unto Bab'y-lon and to 
all the inhabitants of Chal-de'a all their evil 
that they have done in Zi'on in your sight, 
saith the Lord. 

25 Behold, I am against thee, destroying 
mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest 
all the earth: and I will stretch out mine 
hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the 
rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 

26 And they shall not take of thee a stone 
for a comer, nor a stone for foundations; 
but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the 
Lord. 

27 5 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow 
the trumpet among the nations, prepare the 
nations against her, call together against_ her 
the kingdoms of Ar'a-rat, Min'ni, and Ash'- 
che-naz; appoint a captain against her; cause 
the horses to come up as the rough cater- 
pillers. 

28 Prepare against her the nations with the 
kings of the ilede.s, the captains thereof, and 
all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his 
dominion. 

29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: 
for every purpose of the Lord shall be per- 
formed against Bab'y-lon, to make the land 
of Bab'y-lon a desolation without an inhabit- 
ant. 

30 The mighty men of Bab'y-lon have for- 
bom to fight, they have remained in their 
holds: their might hath failed; they became 
as women: they have burned her dwelling- 
places; e her bars are broken. 

31 One post shall run to meet another, and 
one messenger to meet another, to shew the 
king of Bab'y-lon that his city is taken at one 
end, 

32 And that the passages are stopped, and 
the reeds they have burned with fire, and the 
men of war are affrighted. 

33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Is'ra-el; The daughter of Bab'y-lon 
is Hike a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh 
her: yet a little while, and the time of her 
harvest shall come.

Chapter 51. 

a. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of 
her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive 
not of her plagues. (Rev. 1S:4.) 

b. And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of 
horsemen. And he answered and said. Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and 
all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. 
(Is. 21:9.) And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication 
and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, 
when they shall see the smoke of her burning. (Rev. 18:9.) 

c. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven 
vials, and talked with me. saying unto me, Come hither: I will show 
unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many 
waters. (Rev. 17:1.) 

d. Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who 



slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, 
and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him 
that stooped for age; he gave them all into his hand. (II Chr. 36:17.) 

e. Her gates are sunken into the ground; he hath destroyed and 
broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the 
law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord. (Lam. 
2:9.) Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of 
thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall de- 
vour thy bars. (Xah. 3:13.) 

f. my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have 
heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto 
you. (Is. 21:10.) Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make 
th'ne horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat 
in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, 
and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. (Mic. 4:13.)

hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath 
made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed 
me up like a "dragon, he hath filled his belly 
with my delicates, he hath cast me out. 

35 The violence done to me and to my flesh 
be upon Bab'y-lon, shall the inhabitant of 
Zi'on say; and my blood upon the inhabitants 
of Chal-de'a, shall Je-ru'sa-lem say. 

36 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I 
will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for 
thee; and I will dry up her 7 sea, and make her 
springs dry. 

37 -"And Bab'y-lon shall become heaps, a 
dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, 
and an hissing, without an inhabitant. 

38 'They shall roar together like lions: they 
shall yell as lions' whelps. 

39 In their heat I will make their feasts, 
and I will make them drunken, that they may 
rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not 
wake, saith the Lord. 

40 I will bring them down like lambs to the 
slaughter, like rams with he goats. 

41 How is She'shach taken! and how is the 
praise of the whole earth surprised! how is 
Bab'y-lon become an astonishment among the 
nations! 

42 ft The sea is come up upon Bab'y-lon: she 
is covered with the multitude of the waves 
thereof. 

43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, 
and a wilderness, a land wherein no man 
dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass 
thereby. 

44 And I will punish Bel in Bab'y-lon, and 
I will bring forth out of his mouth that which 
he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall 
not flow 7 together any more unto him: yea, the 
wall of Bab'y-lon shall fall. 

45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, 
and deliver ye every man his soul from the 
fierce anger of the Lord. 

46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear 
for the rumour that shall be heard in the land ; 
a rumour shall both come one year, and after 
that in another year shall come a rumour, and 
violence in the land, ruler against ruler. 

47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I 
will do judgment upon the graven images of 
Bab'y-lon : and her whole land shall be con- 
founded, and all her slain shall fall in the 
midst of her. 

48 Then 'the heaven and the earth, and all 
that is therein, shall sing for Bab'y-lon : for 
the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, 
saith the Lord. 

49 As Bab'y-lon hath caused the slain of 
Is'ra-el to fall, so at Bab'y-lon shall fall the 
slain of all the earth. 

50 °Ye -'that have escaped the sword, go 
away, stand not still : remember the Lord afar 
off, and let Je-ru'sa-lem come into your mind. 

51 We are ''"confounded, because we have 
heard reproach : shame hath covered our faces : 
for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of 
the Lord's house.

wounded shall groan. 

53 Though 'Bab'y-lon should mount up to 
heaven, and though she should fortify the 
height of her strength, yet from me shall spoil- 
ers come unto her, saith the Lord. 

54 A sound of a cry cometh from Bab'y-lon, 
and great destruction from the land of the 
Chal-de'ans: 

55 Because the Lord hath spoiled Bab'y-lon, 
and destroyed out of her the great voice; when 
her waves do roar like great waters, a noise 
of their voice is uttered: 

56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, 
even upon Bab'y-lon, and her mighty men are 
taken, every one of their bows is broken : 
"'for the Lord God of recompences shall surely 
requite. 

57 And I will make drunk her princes, and 
her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, 
and her mighty men : and they shall sleep a 
perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, 
whose name is the Lord of hosts. 

58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad 
walls of Bab'y-lon shall be utterly broken, and 
her high gates shall be burned with fire; and 
the people shall labour in vain, and the folk 
in the fire, and they shall be weary. 

59 f The word which Jer-e-mi'ah the proph- 
et commanded Ser-a-I'ah the son of Ne-ri'ah, 
the son of Ma-a-se'iah, when he went with 
Zed-e-ki'ah the king of Ju'dah into Bab'y-lon 
in the fourth year of his reign. And this 
Ser-a-i'ah was a quiet prince. 

60 So Jer-e-mi'ah wrote in a book all the 
evil that should come upon Bab'y-lon, even 
all these words that are written against Bab'y- 
lon. 

61 And Jer-e-mi'ah said to Ser-a-i'ah, When 
thou comest to Bab'y-lon, and shalt see, and 
shalt read all these words; 

62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast 
spoken against this place, to cut it off, that 
none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, 
but that it shall be desolate for ever. 

63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an 
end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind 
"a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of 
Eu-phra'te§ : 

64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Bab'y-lon 
sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I 
will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. 
Thus far 10 are the words of Jer-e-mi'ah.

and taken. 8 Zedekiah's sons killed, and 
his own eyes put out. 12 Nebuzar-adan

eth away the captives. 31 Evil-merodach 
advanceth Jehoiachin. 

1 ^ed-e-ki'ah was one and twenty years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven 
years in Je-ru'sa-lem. And his mother's name 
was Ha-mu'tal the daughter of Jer-e-mi'ah of 
Lib'nah. 

2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes 
of the Lord, according to all that Je-hoi'a-kim 
had done. 



g. And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolp' 
houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near e 
come, and her days shall not be prolonged. (Is. 13:22.) And he crh 
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, 
fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of evr 
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (Rev. 18:2 ) 

h. Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them th 
waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, r 
all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go c < 
all his banks. And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow au 
go over; he shall reach even to the neck: and the stretching out of h' 
wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. (Is. 8:7, 8.) 

i. Sing, O heavens: and be joyful, O earth: and break forth in*

and ye holv apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on hf T

1. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower whose 
top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be 
■"attired abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (Gen. 11:4.) Though 
'•ey c:.i into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb

3 For through the anger of the Lord it came 
to pass in Je-ru'sa-lem and Ju'dah, till he had 
cast them out from his presence, that Zed-e- 
ki'ah "rebelled against the king of Bab'y-lon. 

4 H And it came to pass in the 6 ninth year 
of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth 
day of the month, that Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king 
of Bab'y-lon came, he and all his army, against 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and ^pitched against it, and built 
forts against it round about. 

5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh 
year of king Zed-e-ki'ah. 

6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day 
of the month, d the famine was sore in the city, 
so that there was no bread for the people of 
the land. 

7 Then the city was broken up, and all the 
men of war fled, and went forth out of the city 
by night by the way of the gate between the 
two walls, which was by the king's garden; 
(now the Chal-de'ans were by the city round 
about : ) and they went by the way of the plain. 

8 r But the army of the Chal-de'ans pur- 
sued after the king, and overtook Zed-e-ki'ah 
in the plains of Jer'i-cho; and all his army was 
scattered from him. 

9 Then they took the Tdng, and carried him 
up unto the king of Bab'y-lon to Rib'lah in the 
land of Ha'math; where he gave judgment 
upon him. 

10 And the king of Bab'y-lon slew the sons 
of Zed-e-ki'ah before his eyes: he slew also all 
the princes of Ju'dah in Rib'lah. 

11 Then he put out the eyes of Zed-e-ki'ah; 
and the king of Bab'y-lon bound him in chains, 
and carried him to Bab'y-lon, and put him in 
2 prison, till the day of his death. 

12 *" Now in the fifth month, in the tenth 
day of the month, which was the nineteenth 
year of Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon, 
came Neb'u-zar-a'dan, captain of the guard, 
which served the king of Bab'y-lon, into Je- 
ru'sa-lem, 

13 And c burned the house of the Lord, and 
the king's house; and all the houses of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and all the houses of the great men, 
burned he with fire: 

14 And all the army of the Chal-de'ans, 
that were with the captain of the guard, brake 
down all the walls of Je-ru'sa-lem round about. 

15 Then Neb'u-zar-a'dan the captain of the 
guard carried away captive certain of the 
poor of the people, and the residue of the peo- 
ple that remained in the city, and those that 
fell away, that fell to the king of Baby-Ion, 
and the rest of the multitude.

guard left certain of the poor of the land for 
vinedressers and for husbandmen. 

17 /Also the pillars of brass that were in the 
house of the Lord, and the bases, and the 
brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, 
the Chal-de'ans brake, and carried all the brass 
of them to Bab'y-lon. 

18 The -"caldrons also, and the shovels, and 
the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, 
and all the vessels of brass wherewith they 
ministered, took they away. 

19 And the basons, and the firepans, and the 
bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, 
and the spoons, and the cups; that which was 
of gold in gold, and that which was of silver 
in silver, took the captain of the guard away. 

20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve bra- 
sen bulls that were under the bases, which king 
Sol'o-mon had made in the house of the Lord: 
the brass of all these vessels was without 
weight. 

21 And concerning the pillars, the height of 
one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of 
twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness 
thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. 

22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it ; and 
the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with 
network and pomegranates upon the chapiters 
round about, all of brass. The second pillar 
also and the pomegranates were like unto 
these. 

23 And there were ninety and six pomegran- 
ates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon 
the network were an hundred round about. 

24 U And the captain of the guard took Ser- 
a-i'ah the chief priest, and Zeph-a-ni'ah the 
second priest, and the three keepers of the 
door : 

25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, 
which had the charge of the men of war; and 
seven men of them that were near the king's 
person, which were found in the city; and the 
principal scribe of the host, who mustered the 
people of the land; and threescore men of the 
people of the land, that were found in the 
midst of the city. 

26 So Neb'u-zar-a'dan the captain of the 
guard took them, and brought them to the 
king of Bab'y-lon to Rib'lah. 

27 And the king of Bab'y-lon smote them, 
and put them to death in Rib'lah in the land 
of Ha'math. ft Thus Ju'dah was carried away 
captive out of his own land. 

28 4 This is the people whom Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar carried away captive: in the seventh 
year three thousand Jews and three and 
twenty : 

29 In the eighteenth year of Neb-u-chad- 



cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city 
Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. (Rev. 18:21.) 
Chapter 52. 

a. Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things 
mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and 
hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with 
him to Babylon; And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a cov- 
enant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the 
mighty of the land: That the kingdom might be base, that it might not 
lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. But 
he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that 
they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall 
he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and 
be delivered? As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in the place where 
the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and 
whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he 
shall die. (Ez. 17:12-16.) 

b. And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth 
month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Bab- 
ylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against 
It; and they built forts against it round about. (II Ks. 25:1.) 

c. And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until the high and 
fenced wall? come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy 
land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, throughout all thy 
land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. And thou shalt eat the 
fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, 
which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the strait- 
ness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: So that the man 
that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward 
his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant 
of his children which he shall leave: So that he will not give to any 



of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath 
nothing left him va the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine ene- 
mies- shall distress thee in all thy gates. (Dt. 28:52-55.) 

d. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel 
of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, 
I will send a pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the 
hand of the enemy. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, 
ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you 
vour bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. (Lev. 
26:25, 26.) 

e. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and 
Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the 
high places of the forest. (Mic. 3:12.) 

f. For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and con- 
cerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue 
of the vessels that remain in this city, Which Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of 
Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles 
of Judah and Jerusalem (19, 20). They shall be carried to Babylon, and 
there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the Lord: then 
will I bring them up, and restore them to this place. (Jer. 27:19, 20, 22.) 

g. And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, 
and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away. 
And the fire-pans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in 
gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away. The 
two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the 
house of the Lord; the brass of all these vessels was without weight. 
(II Ks. 25:14-16.) 

h. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a 
sword after you: and your land shall he desolate, and your cities waste 
(33). As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in 
your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. (Lev. 26:33. 35.)

THE 



LAMENTATIONS OF JEREMIAH 



NOTE. — The Lamentations of Jeremiah concerning the fall and destruction of Jerusalem and the overthrow of Judea bv the Chaldeans, portray the great 
misery and trouble which had fallen to the lot of the coTenant people, picturing incidentally thereto the lives and characteristics of certain individuals whose his- 
tory was so interwoven with the life and destruction of the chosen people, that a history of their trials and sufferings could not be told independent of these indi- 
viduals. This bc-ok is called "the saddest wail of all literature." Though such it is. it is not on account of anv mere human or earthlv sorrows and disappoint- 
ments, but of that deeper and piercing agony of soul, resultant from the destruction of spiritual hope and aspirations. 



Ch. 1. B. C. 588, 



CHAPTER 1. 

The miserable estate of Jerusalem by reason | 

of her sin. 

1 'How doth the city sit solitary, that -was' 
full of people! how is she become as a wridow! 
she that was great among the nations, and 
princess among the provinces, how is she be- 
come tributary! 

2 She a weepeth sore in the night, and her 
tears are on her cheeks : among all her Covers 
she hath none to comfort her: all her friends 
have 6 dealt treacherously with her, they are 
become her enemies. 

3 Ju'dah is gone into captivity because of 
affliction, and because of great servitude: c she 
dwelleth among the heathen, she fmdeth no 
rest: all her persecutors overtook her between 
the straits. 

4 The ways of Zi'on do mourn, because none 
come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are 
desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are 
afflicted, and she is in bitterness. 

5 Her adversaries are the chief, her ene- 
mies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her 
d for the multitude of her transgressions: her 
children are gone ■ into captivity before the 
enemy. 

6 And from the daughter of Zi'on all her 
beauty is departed : her princes are become 
like Tiarts that find no pasture, and they are 
gone without strength before the pursuer. 

■ 7 Je-ru'sa-lem remembered in the days of 
her affliction and of her miseries all her pleas- 
ant things that she had in the days of old, 
when her people fell into the hand of the en- 
emy, and none did help her: the adversaries 
saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths. 

8 Je-ru'sa-lem hath grievously sinned; 
therefore she is removed: all that honoured 
her despise her, because f they have seen her 
nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and tumeth back- 
ward. 

9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remem- 
bereth not her last end; therefore she came 
down wonderf ully : she had no comforter. 
Lord, behold my affliction : for the enenvy hath 
magnified himself. 

10 The adversary hath spread out his hand 
upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen 
that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, 
whom thou didst command that they should 
not enter into thy congregation. 

11 All her people sigh, they seek bread;

afflictions of the people and the eon- 
sequent lamentations.

j they have given their pleasant things for meat 
to relieve the soul: see, Lord, and consider; 
for I am become vile. 

12 r Ts it nothing to you, all ye that pass 
by? behold, and see ^if there be any sorrow 
like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, 
wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the 
da; 7 of his fierce anger. 

13 From above hath he sent fire into my 
bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath 
spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me 
back: he hath made me desolate and faint all 
the day. 

14 -'The yoke of my transgressions is bound 
by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up 
upon my neck: he hath made my strength to 
fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their 
hands, from whom I am not able to rise up. 

15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my 
mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called 
an assembly against me to crush my young 
men : ''the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the 
daughter of Ju'dah, as in a winepress. 

16 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine 
eye runneth down with water, because the 
comforter that should relieve my soul is far 
from me: my children are desolate, because 
the enemy prevailed. 

17 Zi'on spreadeth forth her hands, and 
there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath 
commanded concerning Ja'cob, that his adver- 
saries should be round about him: Je-ru'sa- 
lem is as a menstruous woman among them. 

18 r The Lord is righteous; for I have re- 
belled against his 'commandment: hear, 'I 
pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: 
my virgins and my young men are gone into 
captivity. 

19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived 
me: my priests and mine elders gave up the 
ghost in the city, while they sought their meat 
to relieve their souls. 

20 Behold, Lord; for I am in distress: 

! my 7 '"bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned 
within me; for I have grievously rebelled: 
i abroad the 'sword bereaveth, at home there is 
! as death. 

21 They have heard that I sigh: there is 
none to comfort me: all mine enemies have 

i heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou 
! hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou 
1 hast called, and they shall be like unto me.

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Jeremiah lamenteth the misery of Jerusa- 
lem. 20 He complaineth thereof to God. 

1 'How hath the Lord covered the daughter 
of 2 Zl'6n with a cloud in his anger, and "cast 
down from heaven unto the earth the beauty 
of 2 Is'ra-el, and remembered not his footstool 
in the day of his anger! 

2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habi- 
tations of Ja'cob, and hath not pitied: he hath 
thrown down in his wrath the strong holds 
of the daughter of Ju'dah; he hath brought 
them down to the ground: he hath polluted the 
kingdom and the princes thereof. 

3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the 
horn of Is'ra-el: he hath drawn back his right 
hand from before the enemy, and he burned 
against Ja'cob like a flaming fire, which de- 
voureth round about. 

4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he 
stood with his right hand as an adversary, 
and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in 
the tabernacle of the daughter of Zi'on: he 
poured out his fury like fire. 

5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swal- 
lowed up Is'ra-el, he hath swallowed up all her 
palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, 
and hath increased in the daughter of Ju'dah 
mourning and lamentation. 

6 And he hath violently taken away his tab- 
ernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath 
destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord 
hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths 
to be forgotten in Zi'on, and hath despised in 
the indignation of his anger the king and the 
priest. 

7 The Lord hath 6 cast off his altar, he hath 
abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into 
the hand of the enemy the walls of her pal- 
aces; they have made a noise in the house of 
the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast. 

8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the 
wall of the daughter of Zi'on : he hath stretched 
out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand 
from destroying: therefore he made the ram- 
part and the walls to lament; they languished 
together. 

9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he 
hath destroyed and broken her bars: ""her king 
and her princes are among the Gen'tlle§: the 
law is no more; d her prophets also find no 
vision from the Lord. 

10 The elders of the daughter of Zi'on c sit 
upon the ground, and keep silence: they have 
cast up dust upon their heads; they have gird- 
ed themselves with sackcloth : the virgins of 
Je-ru'sa-lem hang down their heads to the 
ground.

thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, daugh- 
ter of Je-ru'sa-lem? what shall I equal to 
thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daugh- 
ter of Zi'on? for thy breach is great like the 
sea: who can heal thee? 

14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish 
things for thee: and they have not discovered 
thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but 
have seen for thee false burdens and causes 
of banishment. 

15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; 
they hiss and wag their head at the daughter 
of Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, Is this the city that 
men call The perfection of beauty, The joy 
of the whole earth?

mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the

we have found, we have seen it.

devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had 
commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown 
down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused 
thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set 
up the horn of thine adversaries. 

18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, wall 
of the daughter of Zi'on, let tears run down 
like a river day and night: give thyself no 
rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. 

19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the begin- 
ning of the ^watches ''pour out thine heart 
like water before the face of the Lord: lift up 
thy hands toward him for the life of thy 
young children, that faint for hunger 4 in the 
top of every street. 

20 If 6 Behold, Lord, and consider J'to whom 
thou hast done this. Shall the women eat 
their fruit, and children of a span long? shall 
the priest and the prophet be slain in the 
sanctuary of the Lord? 

21 The young 7i 'and the old lie on the ground 
in the streets: my virgins and my young men 
are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them 
in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, 
and not pitied. 

22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my 
terrors round about, so that in the day of the 
Lord's anger none escaped nor remained : those 
that I have swaddled and brought up hath 
mine enemy consumed. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 The faithful beivail their calamities. 22 By 
the mercies of God they nourish their hope. 
37 They acknowledge God's justice. 

1 'I am the Tnan that hath seen affliction by 
the rod of his wrath. 

2 He hath led me, and brought me into 
"darkness, but not into 4 light. 

3 Surely against me is he turned; he turn- 
eth his hand against me all the day. 



m. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) Where- 
fore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the 
world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) For 
we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recom- 
pense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 
(Heb. 10:30.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be 
brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done 
in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 
(Mat. 11:23.) 

b. As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they 
made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things 
therein: therefore have I set it far from them. (Ez. 7:20.) 

c. The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over 
thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; 
and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. (Dt. 28:36.) 

d. Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, 
and without a teaching priest, and without law. (II Chr. 15:3.) 



e. So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and 
seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his 
grief was very great. (Job 2:13.) 

f. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice 
of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his 
statutes, which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come 
upon thee, and overtake thee. (Dt. 28:15.) 

g. Watch ye therefore; for ye know not when the master of the 
house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in 
the morning. (Mk. 13:35.) 

h. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before 
him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. (Ps. 62:8.) 

i. Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, 
as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke 
of thy God. (Is. 51:20.) 

j. And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why do'.h 
thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out 
of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? (Ex. 
32:11.)

slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, 
and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him 
that stooped for age; he gave them all into his hand. (II Chr. 3G:17.) 
Chapter 3. 

a. I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and 
thou regardest me not. (Job 30:20.) O my God, I cry in the day-time, 
but thou nearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. (Ps. 
22:2.) 

b. O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art 
stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one 
mocketh me. (Jer. 20:7.) 

c. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, 
I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water 
of gall to drink. (Jer. 9:15.) 

d. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto 
the clouds. (Ps. 57:10.) 

e. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; 
for he is faithful that promised. (Heb. 10:23.) 

f. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself 
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who 
bringeth wicked devices to pass. (Ps. 37:7.) I waited patiently for the 
Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. (Ps. 40:1.) For thus 
saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall 
ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and 
ye would not. (Is. 30:15.) 

g. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts 
unto wisdom. (Ps. 90:12.) Remember now thy Creator in the days 
of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, 
when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. (Ecc. 12:1.) 

h. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 
42:0.) I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in 
the dust. (Job 16:15.) 

i. Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid 
siege against us; they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon 
the cheek. (Mic. 5:1.) But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil; 
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the 
other also. (Mat. 5:39.) 

j. For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake 
his inheritance. (Ps. 91:11.) Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will 
he be favorable no more? (7). And I said, This is my infirmity: but I 
will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. (Ps. 
77:7, 10.) For a. small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great 
mercies will I gather thee. In little wrath I hid my face from thee 
for a moment ; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, 
saith the Lord thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto 
me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go 
over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not.be wroth with thee, 
nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be re- 
moved ; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the 



covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on 
me. (Is. 54:7-10.) 

k. But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and 
destroyed them not; yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and 
did not stir up all his wrath. (Ps. 78:3S.) Many times did he deliver 
them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought 
low for their iniquity. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when 
he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and 
repented according to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:43-45.) 

1. Is Bphraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake 
against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels 
are troubled for him: I will surely- have mercy upon him, saith the 
Lord. (Jer. 31:20.) Say unto them. As I live, saith the Lord God, I 
have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn 
from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why 
will ye die, O house of Israel? (Ez. 33:11.) 

m. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look 
on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, 
and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is 
more righteous than he? (Hab. 1:13.) 

n. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood 
fast. (Ps. 33:9.) For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall 
live, and do this, or that. (Js. 4:15.) 

o. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned 
against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: 
he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. 
(Mic. 7:9.) Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable 
for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, 
I have dore these things unto thee. (Jer. 30:15.) And ye have forgotten 
the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, de 
spise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art re- 
buked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth 
every son whom he receiveth. (Heb. 12:5, 6.) 

p. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 
(Ps. 119:59.) Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know 
my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me 
in the way everlasting. (Ps. 139:23, 24.) 

q. Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. (Ps. 25:1.) Hear the 
voice of my supplications when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands 
toward thy holy oracle. (Ps. 28:2.) Let my prayer be set forth before 
thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 
(Ps. 141:2.) 

r. Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, 
and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testi- 
fied against them to turn them to thee; and they wrought great provoca- 
tions. (Neh. 9:26.) We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and 
have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy 
precepts and from thy judgments. (Dan. 9:5.) 

s. Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, 
and are the tjffscouriug of all things unto this day. (I Cor. 4:13.)

they were whiter than milk, they were more

habitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your 
sight, saith the Lord (24). Because the spoiler is come upon her, even

be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them

neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their in- 
iquity. As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but 
they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable 
things therein: therefore have I set it far from them. And I will give 
it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the

sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in

not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delieate- 
ness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her 
bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, And toward her 
young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her chil- 
dren which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all- things 
secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall dis- 
tress thee in thy gates, (Dt. 28:53, 56, 57.) And I will make this city 
desolate, and an hissing: every one that passeth thereby shall be aston- 
ished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. And I will cause them 
to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and they 
shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and straitness 
wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten 
them. (Jer. 19:8, 9.)

lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on 
fire the foundations of the mountains. (Dt. 32:22.) 

e. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their 
means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the 
end thereof? (Jer. 5:31.) 

f. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the chil- 
dren of them which killed the prophets (31). That upon you may come 
all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous 
Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew be- 
tween the temple and the altar (35). O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that 
killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how 
often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gath- 
ereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Mat. 23:31,

1. In this ch. tbe general distress 
and sufferings of the people are piti- 
fully placed before Jehovah, and Jer. 
prays for their reproach to be re- 
moved and the covenant people to be 
restored. 



2. In vs. 1-7 Is detailed the gen- 
eral distress of the people. 



3. In vs. 8-18 many Individual il- 
lustrations of severe punishment are 
given. 



4. In vs. 19-22 Is the prayer for 
restoration. 



6 We have given the hand to the E-gyp'- 
tian§, and to the As-syr'i-an§, to be satisfied 
with bread. 

7 6 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; 
and we have borne their iniquities. 

8 'Servants have ruled over us: there is 
none that doth deliver us out of their hand. 

9 We gat our bread with the peril of our 
lives because of the sword of the wilderness. 

10 Our skin was black like an oven because 
of the terrible famine. 

11 c They ravished the women in Zi'on, and 
the maids in the cities of Ju'dah. 

12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: 
the faces of elders were not honoured. 

13 They took the young men to grind, and 
the children fell under the wood. 

14 The elders have ceased from the gate, 
the young men from their musick. 

15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance 
is turned into mourning. 

16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe 
unto us, that we have sinned! 

17 For this our heart is faint; for these 
things our eyes are dim. 

18 Because of the mountain of Zi'on, which 
is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. 

19 'Thou, Lord, remainest for ever; thy 
throne from generation to generation. 

20 Wherefore dost thou ^forget us for ever, 
and forsake us so long time? 

21 Turn e thou us unto thee, O Lord, and 
we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. 

22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou 
art very wroth against us. 



h. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks 
with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their 
dust made fat with fatness. (Is. 34:7.) Who is this that cometh from 
Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his 
apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in 
righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, 
and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden 
the wine-press alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I 
will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their 
blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my 
raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of 
my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and 
I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm 
brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. And I will tread 
down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and 
I will bring down their strength to the earth. (Is. 63:1-6.) Thus saith 
the Lord; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother 
with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpet- 
ually, and he kept his wrath for ever: But I will send a fire upon 
Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. (Amos 1:11, 12.) 

i. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her 
warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath 
received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. (Is. 40:2.) And I will 
cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and 
will build them, as at the first. And I will cleanse them from all their 
iniquity, whereby they have -sinned against me; and I will pardon all 
their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and, whereby they have 
transgressed against me. (Jer. 33:7, 8.) 

j. But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, 
and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his 



brethren, and his neighbors, and he is not. (Jer. 49:10.) I hated Esau, 
and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the 
wilderness. Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will re- 
turn and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They 
shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border 
of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation 
for ever. (Mai. 1:3, 4.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. Remenfbering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and 
the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humble in 
me. (Lam. 3:19, 20.) 

b. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I 
the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers 
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate 
me. (Ex. 20:5.) We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the in- 
iquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee. (Jer. 14:20.) 

c. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and 
the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; 
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the 
people shall not be cut off from the city. (Zech. 14:2.) Their children 
also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be 
spoiled, and their wives ravished. (Is. 13:16.) - 

d. How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? 'how long wilt 
thou hide thy face from me? (Ps. 13:1.) Wherefore hidest thou thy 
face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? (Ps. 44:24.) 

e. Turn jis again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we 
shall be saved. (Ps. 80:3.) I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning 
himself thus: Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock 
unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou 
art the Lord my God. (Jer. 31:18.) 



THE BOOK OF THE 

PROPHET EZEKIEL 



NOTE. — Ezekiel is one of the most difficult and obscure of all the books of the Bible. It has been called "the abyss of Holy Scriptures" and "a maze of 
divine secrets." and is as little understood by laymen and clergy as any other book of the Bible. The prophet made a very free use of symbols and so secreted 
his thought beneath a shell which first must be pierced before the meaning could be understood, that but few there are, even of the scholars, who have not only 
failed to make a systematic study of, but, as the scholars themselves acknowledge, have even read the book. Yet those who have made a careful study of it, 
declare it to be a "masterpiece equaled only by the book of Job." It is almost a book of visions, though definitely historical because the dates with which it is 
i st concerned are definitely given; yet it is not a history, but a spiritual interpreter of history. The author lived in close communion with his Creator, his eye 
of prophetic vision upon the oracles of heaven, at the same time living in close touch with his fellowmen, ever seeking to reveal the will and purpose of heaven 
to the sin-ridden, chosen people, to give them help and comfort and to bring them the salvation of a long-suffering God. His visions are keen, vivid, and intri- 
cate, his sermons comprehensive and plain, his design and purpose to show the chosen people their transgressions and reveal to them the perfect will of God. 

Ezekiel is the only one of the book of prophets which is universally conceded by all critics to be in the same form and condition as when it left the hands 
u£ the author, the prophet Ezekiel. So mysterious was it to the Jew. that they were not permitted to read it until they had reached the age of 30. Kautzsch 
s:iys that Ezekiel "shows a grand scale of variation from the simplest and most naive utterances to the most artistic and most complicated." Ewald, that he 
"excels all former prophets, as a writer, in point of skill, beauty and perfection of treatment." His style is enriched by "charming and telling metaphor, 
full of new terms and surprises, often very beautifully elaborated." Ez. was probably the greatest of all the Old Testament makers of parables, allegories, 
and riddles. His visions were clear and comprehensive, in which all the splendors of the majesties of earth and heaven are intertwined and thrown together, 
forming, says Jerome, "a labyrinth of the mysteries of God." The one great purpose and effort of the author is to explain all history by the controlling hand 
of God. For about 22 years, beginning in the fifth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin, "when the heavens were open to him and he saw the visions of Jehovah," 
he prophesied to the captive Jews. 

In the study of Ez. one fact should ever be kept in mind as the key of the entire, book, viz., that while nearly all the words of the prophet are presented 
here in visions, yet he gives the date and circumstances connected with them so definitely that it is evidently his intention for the reader to learn the key words of 
his symbolical figures, then understand and accept the events as real and true, revealing the providence of God. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The time of Ezekiel's prophecy at Chebar. 
4 His vision of four cherubim, 15 of the 
four wheels, 26 and of the glory of God. 

1 Now 'it came to pass in the thirtieth year, 
in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the 
month, as I was among the captives by the 
river of Che'bar, that a the heavens 2 were 
opened, and I saw visions 6 of God. 

2 In the fifth day of the month, which was 
the fifth year of king Je-hoi'a-chin's captivity, 

3 The word r of the Lord came expressly 
unto 3 E-ze'ki-el the priest, the son of Bu'zi, in 
the land of the Chal-de'ans. by the river Che'- 
bar; and the hand d of the Lord was there upon 
him. 

4 1f 4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind 
came out of the north, a great cloud, and a 
fire Enfolding itself, and a brightness was 
about it, and out of the midst thereof as the 
colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 

5 Also out of the midst thereof came the 
likeness of four living creatures. And this 
was their appearance; they had the likeness 
"of a man. » 

6 And every one had four faces, and every 
one had four wings. 

7 And their feet were straight feet; and 
the sole of their feet was like the sole of a 
calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour 
of burnished brass. 

8 And they had the hands of a man under 
their wings on their four sides; and they four 
had their faces and their wings. 

9 Their wings were joined one to another; 
they turned not when they went; they went 
every one Straight forward. 

10 As for p the likeness of their faces, they 
four had the face of a man, and the face of a 
lion, on the right side: and they four had the 
face of an ox on the left side; they four also 
had the face of an eagle. 



Ch. 1. B. c. 595. 

1. In this ch. Ez. gives account of 
his call to the prophetic office. All 
critics agree that this ch. is a genuine 
account of the experiences of the 
prophet written by himself. 

2. Not a dream, but a clear mani- 
festation. 

3. Of Ez. nothing is known save 
what he has told himself, which was 
but little; however, the fact that he 
kept himself in the background is 
proof of his modesty and devotion to 
his work. He was thoroughly conse- 
crated to his work, given up to holy 
thoughts and heavenly dreams, for 22 
years a prophet in Babylon. Kamrath 
has called him "the Jewish Calvin," 
because of his great influence and 
mental grasp of the many and vast 
problems concerning his people. He 
was contemporary with Jeremiah and 
Daniel. The former had sustained his 
prophetic office for 34 years before 
Ez.'s first prophecy and continued to 
prophesy for about seven years after- 
ward; Daniel's prophecies dating near 
the close of Ez.'s ministry. We never 
meet with Ez. as an ordinary man; he 
always acts and thinks and feels as a 
prophet. 

4. In vs. 4-28 is detailed Ez.'s 
vision, at which time he received his 
call to the prophetic office. 

5. Incessant flashes of lightning 
which illuminated the whole cloud 
until it looked like amber. 

6. The first impression received by 
the prophet and the cne which re- 
mained with him longest was "they 
had the likeness of a man." The 
heavenly favored type of creation was 
consummated in humanity. 

7. There was no hesitancy or way- 
wardness, the entire company moved 
as one, and all straight forward; per- 
haps symbolical of the calm, quiet, 
undisturbed manner that all powers, 
natural and supernatural, fulfill Jeho- 
vah's will. 

8. Each side was a front, so that 
they could move toward any point of 
the compass without the slightest 
turn. 

9. Connected with each living crea- 
ture is a wheel; the carefulness with 
which they are described perhaps 
proves their symbolical nature. 



11 Thus were their faces: and their wings 
were stretched upward; two wings of every 
one were joined one to another, and ''two cov- 
ered their bodies. 

12 And they went every one straight for- 
ward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; 
and they turned k not when they went. 

-13 As for the likeness of the living crea- 
tures, their appearance was like burning coals 
of fire, ^and like the appearance of lamps: it 
went up and down among the living creatures; 
and the fire was bright, and out of the fire 
went forth lightning. 

14 And the living creatures ran and re- 
turned as the appearance of a flash of light- 
ning. 

15 H Now as I beheld the living creatures, 
behold one "wheel upon the earth by the living 
creatures, with his four faces. 

16 The appearance of the wheels and then- 
work was like unto the colour of a 10 beryl: and 
they four had one likeness: and their appear- 
ance and their work was as it were a wheel 
"in the middle of a wheel. 

17 When they went, they went upon their 
four sides: and they turned 12 not when they 
went. 

18 As for their rings, they were so high that 
they were dreadful; and their rings were full 
of eyes round about them four. 

19 And when "the living creatures went, 
the wheels went by them: and when the living 
creatures were lifted up from the earth, the 
wheels were lifted up. 

20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they 
went, thither was their spirit to go; and the 
wheels were lifted up over "against them: for 
the spirit of the living creature was in the 
wheels. 

21 When those went, these went; and when 
those stood, these stood; and when those were 
lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lift- 



10. The topaz brought from Tar- 
sish in Spain. 

11. Each wheel seemed to be in- 
tersected by another wheel at right 



angles, thus no matter what direction 
the chariot was moving there were 
four wheels in a natural position. 
Wheels symbolize the unsearchable- 



ness, wisdom and vigilance of a divine 
nature and power. 

12. They revolved, but did not 
turn around when changing angles. 



13. Perfect harmony displayed be- 
tween the wheels and the living crea- 
tures. 

14. That is, beside them. 



Ref. Ezekiel. Chapter 1. 

a. And Jesus, when he was baptised, went up straightway out of 
the water: and, lo, the heavens were open unto him, and he saw the 
Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. (Mat. 3:16.) 
And straightway coming up out of the water, be saw the heavens open, 
and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. (Mk. 1:10.) And said, 
Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on 
the right band of God. (Acts 7:56.) After this I looked, and, behold, 
a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was 
as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and 
I will show thee things which mnst be hereafter. (Rev. 4:1.) And he 
saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see 
heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the 
Son of man. (Jno. 1:51.) 

b. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her 
warfare "is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath 
received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. (Is. 40:2.) And they 
saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved 
work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clear- 
ness. (Ex. 24:10.) And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a 



prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in 
a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. (Num. 12:6.) The vision 
of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which ye saw concerning Judah and Jerusa- 
lem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 
(Is. 1:1.) 

c. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of 
righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy 
commandment delivered unto them. (II Pet. 2:21.) 

d. And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his 
loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. (I Ks. 18:46.) But 
now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel 
played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. (II Ks. 3:15.) 

e. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a 
calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was 
like a flying eagle. (Rev. 4:7.) 

f. Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain 
he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain 
he did fly. (Is. 6:2.) 

g. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and

ed up over against them: for the spirit of the 
living creature was in the wheels. 

22 And "the likeness of the firmament upon 
the heads of the living creature was as the 
colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth 
over their heads above. 

23 And under the "'firmament were their 
wings straight, the one toward the other: every 
one had two, which covered on this side, and 
every one had two, which covered on that side, 
their bodies. 

24 And when they went, I heard the noise 
of their wings, like the noise of great waters, 
as 'the voice of the Almighty, the voice of 
speech, as the noise of an host: when they 
stood, they let down their wings. 

25 And there was a "Voice from the firma- 
ment that was over their heads, when they 
stood, and had let 1T down their wings. 

26 *~ And above the firmament that was over 
their heads was the ''likeness of a throne, -'as 
the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon 
the likeness of the throne was the "likeness 
7: as the appearance of a man above upon it. 

27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as 
.the appearance of fire round about within it, 
from the appearance of his loins even upward, 
and from the appearance of his loins even 
downward, I saw as it were the appearance 
of fire, and it had brightness round about. 

28 As the appearance of the ^'bow that is 
in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the 
appearance of the brightness round about. This 
was the appearance of the likeness of the glory 
of the Lord. And when I saw it, 7 I fell upon 
my face, and I heard a voice ^of one that 
spake. 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 Ezekiel's commission. 6 His instruction. 9 

The roll of his heavy prophecy. 

1 I And he said unto me, Son "of man, stand 
upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. 

2 And "the spirit entered into me when he 
spake unto me. and set me upon my feet, that 
I heard him that spake unto me. 

3 And he said unto me, Son "of man, I send 
thee to the children of Is'ra-el. to a rebellious 
Tiation that hath rebelled against me: Hhey 
and their fathers have transgressed against 
me, even unto this very day. 



15. Here meaning the platform of 
Jehovah's throne. 

16. Of the Almighty. 

17. While Jehovah spoke the crea- 
tures let down their wings, thus giv- 
ing reverent attention and due respect 
to the Almighty's utterances. 

IS. It should be observed how care- 
ful Ez. is fo describe his vision at all 
times, saying the "likeness of," never 
saying "it is." 

19. Here the Godhead, the ruler 
of the universe, appears to the 
prophet in the likeness of enthroned 
humanity. Here is the throne and 
God "as a man" with the "appear- 
ance of fire round about." As others 
are called "sons of God." he is 
called "the Son of man." (Mat. 16: 
13) — "Whom do men say that I. the 
Son of man. am?" He is thus the 
representative "of the fullness of the 
Godhead" (Col. 2:9). also the em- 
bodied representative of humanity. 
Thus seated upon the throne above 
is one who has the appearance of 
man. 

20. As in the days of Noah, the 
bow was suspended in the heavens as 
a sign that there should be no more 
destroying flood, so now it is stretched 
across the throne of the universe as 
a sign of the covenant of mercy to 
God's people. "Like hanging out from 
the throne of the eternal a flag of 
peace, assuring all that the purpose 
of heaven was to preserve rather than 
to destroy." (Rev. 4:3) — "And there 
was a rainbow round about the throne 
in sight like unto an emerald." 

21. To the heathen their gods are 
pictured in the likeness of some fiend- 
ish monster. What is the purpose of 
this striking symbol as seen by the 
Hebrew prophet? Can it be to show 
the world that Israel's God is not a 
monster, but is "human divine"? 

Ch. 2. B. C. 595, 

1. In this ch. we are introduced 
to the most solemn occasions of his- 
tory. Jehovah on his throne has com- 
manded and received the attention of 
a man to whom he is now about to 
deliver his commission of prophecy. 
By many critics this ch. is called the 
minister's ch. 

2. It should be observed that when 
Jehovah has an important commission 
to deliver to his people, he selects a 
man as the agent. 

3. Rebellious ones: each tribe 
seems to be counted as a nation. 

4. Stiff-necked, hard-hearted, hard- 
faced. When the heart is wrong the 
face soon shows it. 

5. Jehovah, the national covenant- 
name of the merciful, long-suffering, 



4 For they are "impudent ^children and stiff- 
hearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou 
shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
^God. 

5 And they, whether they will hear, or 
whether they will forbear, (for they are a re- 
bellious house,) yet d shall know that there 
hath been a prophet among them. 

6 r , And thou, son of man, be not afraid of 
them, neither be afraid of their words, though 
briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost 
dwell among scorpions: c be not afraid of their 
words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though 
they be a rebellious house. 

7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, 
whether they will hear, or whether they will 
forbear: for they are most rebellious. 

8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say 
unto thee; Be r not thou rebellious like that 
rebellious house: open thy mouth, and #eat 
that I give thee. 

9 r And when I looked, behold, an hand was 
sent unto me; and, lo, a roll c of a book was 
therein; 

10 And he spread it before me; and it was 
WTitten within and without : and there was 
written therein lamentations, and mourning, 
and 'woe. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 Ezekiel eateth the roll. 15 God sheiveth 
him the rule of prophecy. 22 God shutteth 
and openeth the prophet's mouth. 

1 'Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, 
eat that thou ^ndest; a eat this roll, and go 
speak unto the house of Is'ra-el. 

2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me 
to eat that roll. 

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause 
thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this 
roll that I give thee. Then did I 6 eat it; and 
it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. 

4 If And he said unto me, Son of man, go, 
get thee unto the house of Is'ra-el, and speak 
with my words unto them. 

5 For thou art not sent to a people of a 
strange speech and of an hard language, but 
to the house of Is'ra-el; 

6 Not to many people of a strange speech 
and of an hard language, . whose words thou 
canst not understand. c Surely, had I sent 



gTaeious One. abundant in loving kind- 
ness and truth. 

6. Beginning with the 9th verse 
and extending to the 11th verse of 
eh. 3, the servant of God is taught 



that he must not speak his own words 
but the words of Jehovah. 

Ch. 3. B. C. 595. 

1. In this eh. is beautifully illus- 
trated the intertwining of the human 



and divine parts in the divine service; 
Jehovah furnishes the truth (ch. 2:9), 
but man must take, eat it. digest it, 
and assimilate it (vs. 2. 3^. Thus 
man is taught by Jehovah, but as a 



pupil he has his work to do and must 
do it. 

2. Put thyself in right relations 
with Jehovah, be obedient to his com- 
mands and devoted to his service. 



voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, 
which are the seven Spirits of God. (Rev. 4:5.) 

h. Then I looked, and, behold, in a firmament that was above the 
head of the cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire 
stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. (Ez. 10:1.) 

i. After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his ex- 
cellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. God thun- 
dereth marvellously, with his voice; great things doeth he, which we 
cannot comprehend. (Job 37:4, 5.) The voice of the Lord is upon the 
waters; the God of elorv thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. 
(Ps. 29:3.) 

j. And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet 
as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body 
of heaven in his clearness. (Ex. 24:10.) 

k. In the year that king TJzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting 
upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. (Is. 
6:1.) And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son 
of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the 
paps with a golden girdle. (Rev. 1:13.) 

1. So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid. 
and fell upon my face: but he said unto me. Understand. O son of man: 
for at the time of the end shall be the vision. (Dan. 8:17.) And when 
I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon 
me, saving unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last. (Rev. 1:17.)

b. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we 
have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our 
youth even unto this day, and have not obeved the voice of the Lord 
our God. (Jer. 3:25.) 

c. Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, and as in the 
day of temptation in the wilderness. (Ps. 95:S.) Because I knew that 
thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass, 
fls. 4S:4.) O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken 
them, but they have not grieved: thou hast consumed them, but they 
have refused to receive correction : they have made their faces harder 
than a rock: they have refused to return. (Jer. 5:3.) 



d. If, when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the 
trumpet, and warn the people. (Ez. 33:3.) 

e. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for 
he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. (Heb. H:27.) But and if ye 
suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their 
terror, neither be troubled. (I Pet. 3:14.) 

f. And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before 
the rock, and he said unto them. Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch 
you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his 
rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and 
the congregation drank, and their beasts also. And the Lord spake unto 
Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me iu the 
eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congre- 
gation into the land which I have given them. This is the waters of 
Meribah. because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he 
was sanctified in them (10-13). Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: 
for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of 
Meribah. (Num. 20:10-13, 24.) The Lord God hath opened mine ear, 
and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. (Is. 50:5.) 

g. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him. Give me the 
little book. And he said unto me. Take it, and eat it up; and it shall 
make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thv mouth sweet as honey. 
(Rev. 10:9.) 

h. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they 
shall eat "the fruit of. their doings. (Is. 3:10.) Tribulation and anguish, 
upon every soul of every man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also 
of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:9.) Their sorrows shall be multiplied that 
hasien after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, 
nor take up their names into my lips. iPs. 16:4.) Evil pursueth sinners: 
but to the righteous good shall be repaid. (Prov. 13:21.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. See ch. 2:S, 9. 

b. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little 
book. And he said unto me. Take it, and eat it up: and it shall make 
thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. (Rev. 10:9.) 

c. Woe unto thee. Chorazin! woe unto thee. Bethsaida! for if the

thee to them, they would have hearkened unto 
thee. 

7 But the house of Is'ra-el will not hearken 
unto thee; ''for they will not hearken unto me: 
for all the house of Is'ra-el are impudent c and 
hardhearted. 

8 Behold, I have made thy face strong 
against their faces, and thy forehead strong 
against their foreheads. 

9 As an adamant ^harder than flint have I 
made thy forehead : fear them not, neither be 
dismayed at their looks, though they be a re- 
bellious house. 

10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, 
all my words that I shall speak unto thee re- 
ceive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 

11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, 
unto the children of thy people, and speak 
unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; whether they will hear, or whether they 
will forbear. 

12 "Then the spirit *took me up, and I heard 
behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, 
Blessed be the "glory of the Lord from his 
place. 

13 I heard also the noise of the wings of 
the living creatures that touched one another, 
and the noise of the wheels over against them, 
and a noise of a great rushing. 

14 So the spirit 'lifted me up, and took me 
away, and I went in bitterness, in the G heat of 
my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong 
upon me. 

15 *f Then I came to them of the captivity 
at Tel-a'bib, that dwelt by the river of Che'- 
bar, and I sat where they sat, and remained 
there astonished among them seven days. 

16 c And it came to pass at the end of 7 seven 
days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

17 Son of man, I have made thee a watch- 
man unto the house of Is'ra-el: therefore hear 
the word at my mouth, and give them warning 
from me. 

18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt 
surely die; and tho'u givest him not warning, 
nor speakest to warn the ''wicked from his 
wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked 
man 'shall die in "his iniquity; but his blood 
will I require at thine hand. 

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn 
not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked 
way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast 
delivered thy soul. 

20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn 
'from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, 
and I lay a °stumblingblock before him, he 
shall die: because thou hast not given him 



3. In vs. 12-15, the prophet's ex- 
treme bitterness of soul and discomfi- 
ture in the presence of his first con- 
gregation in ;1; tailed thus displaying 
the hot, turbulent, passionate nature 
of the prophet and his absolute unfit- 
ness in his own streugtn for the work 
before him. 

4. Inner compulsions were moving 
him. 

5. The righteous fury against the 
sins which he was sent to condemn. 
(Jer. G:ll)— -'Therefore I am full of 
the fury of the Lord; I am weary 
with holding in; I will pour it out 
upon the children abroad and upon the 
assembly of young men together." 

0. In vs. 16-21, God again, at the 
end of seven days, lays his hand upon 
Ez., and with increased solemnity re- 
commissions him. 

7. For seven days Jehovah silently 
watched the inner struggles of the re- 
bellious prophet, when he again sum- 
moned him to his presence. 

S. Through his iniquity. Sin is 
made the instrument of its own pun- 
ishment. 

9. That is. men are given over to 
judicial blindness and to their own 
corruption when they do not retain 
God in their knowledge, so they 
stumble over their own sins in punish- 
ment. 

10. In vs. 22-27 is given the ac- 
count of the glory of Jehovah as re- 
vealed in the second vision. 

Ch. 4. B. C. 595. 

1. Beginning with this eh. and ex- 
tending to the 24th. is a series of 
symbols used to explain and make im- 
pressive the wickedness and doum of 
the chosen people and the holy city 
because of their idolatrous practices. 

2. That is, draw the picture of the 
besieged city on the tile. Many tiles 
and bricks have been found in Assyria 
which had been used for the identical 
purpose that Jehovah commands the 
prophet in this instance. 

3. That is, picture the siegeN 

4. Iron protections or machines 
used by the Babylonians and Assyr- 
ians behind which the archers stood, 
shooting through a window. 

5. The first instance when Jehovah 
and his prophet have taken sides with 
the enemy. 

i!. "Lying on his side, held down 
as with cords (v. S) and unable to 
turn, he represents Israel pressed 
down and held in the grasp of the 
punishment of iniquity." (Davidson.) 

7. The Hebrew text gives a hun- 
dred-ninety days, which includes the 
40 days of v. 6. each day representing 
a year. If this interpretation is ac- 
cepted, the destruction of Jerusalem 
is counted (5S6 B. C.) to the restora- 
tion, which gives an almost exact and 
lit. fulfillment of the prophecy; the 
captivity of Israel then being counted 
150 years longer than that of Judah, 
therefore the 190 years of Israel 
would extend from 734 B. C. to 53S 
B. C, the vear of restoration. 



warning, he shall die in his sin, and his right- 
eousness which he hath done shall not be re- 
membered; but his blood will I require at thine 
hand. 

21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous 
man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth 
not sin, he shall surely live, because he is 
warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. 

22 H 10 And the hand of the Lord was there 
upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth 
into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 

23 Then I arose, and went forth into the 
plain : and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood 
there, as the glory which I saw by the river 
of Che'bar: and I fell on my face. 

24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set 
me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said 
unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house. 

25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they 
shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee 
with them, and thou shalt not go out among 
them: 

26 And k I will make thy tongue cleave to 
the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be 
dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: 
for they are a rebellious house. 

27 But when I speak with thee, I will open 
thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God; He that heareth, let him 
hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: 
'for they are a rebellious house. 

CHAPTER 4. 
Under the type of a siege is shewed the time 
from the defection of Jeroboam to the cap- 
tivity. 

1 'Thou also, son of man, take thee a 2 tile, 
and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it 
the city, even Je-ru'sa-lem : 

2 And lay siege 'against it, and build a fort 
against it, and cast a mount against it; set the 
camp also against it, and set battering rams 
against it round about. 

3 Moreover take thou unto thee an Mron pan, 
and set it for a wall of iron between thee and 
the city: and set thy face "against it, and it 
shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege 
against it. a This shall be a sign to the house 
of Is'ra-el. 

4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay 
the iniquity of the house of Is'ra-el upon it: 
according to the number of the days that thou 
shalt "lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. 

5 For I have laid upon thee the years of 
their iniquity, according to the number of the 
days, 7 three hundred and ninety days: 6 so shalt 
thou bear the iniquity of the house of Is'ra-el. 

6 And when thou hast accomplished them, 



mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, 
they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. (Mat. 11:21.) 

d. Remember the word that I said unto you. The servant is not 
greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also per- 
secute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. (Jno. 
15:20.) And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of 
the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected 
thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 
(I Sam. 8:7.) 

e. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron 
sinew, and thy brow brass. (Is. 48:4.) Therefore the showers have 
been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst 
a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. (Jer. 3:3.) 

f. For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be con- 
founded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I 
shall not be ashamed. (Is. 50:7.) But truly I am full of power by the 
Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob 
his transgression, and to Israel his sin. (Mic. 3:8.) 

g. And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, 
whereupon he was. to the threshold of the house: and he called to the 
man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side. 
(Ez. 9:3.) See v. 23. 

h. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the 
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, 
and also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16.) 

i. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trum- 
pet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come and take any 
person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his 
blood will I require at the watchman's hand. (Ez. 33:6.) 

j. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through 
the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again 
entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than 
the beginning. (II Pet. 2:20.) 



k. In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, 
and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign 
unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. (Ez. 24:27.) And, 
behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that 
these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, 
which shall be fulfilled in their season. And the people waited for Zach- 
arias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. And when 
he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that 
he had seen a vision in the temple; for he beckoned unto them, and 
remained speechless. (Luke 1:20-22.) 

1. Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, 
which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear 
not: for they are a rebellious house. Therefore, thou son of man, pre- 
pare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou 
shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be 
they will consider, though they be a rebellious house. (Ez. 12:2, 3.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry 
it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the 
ground; for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel (6). 
Say, I am your sign': like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: 
they shall remove, and go into captivity. (Ez. 12:6, 11.) Thus Ezekiel is 
unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do; and 
when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God (24). In that 
day shall thy mouth be open to him which is escaped, and thou shalt 
speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and 
they shall know that I am the Lord. (Ez. 24:24, 27.) 

b. After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even 
forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty 
years; and ye shall know my breach of promise. (Num. 14:34.) But the 
court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it 
is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot 
forty and two months. (Rev. 11:2.)

lie again on thy 'right side, and thou shalt 
bear the iniquity of the house of Ju'dah forty 
days: I have appointed thee each day for a 
year. 

i Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward 
the siege of Je-ru'sa-lem, and thine arm shall 
be '■'uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against 
it. 

8 And, -behold, I will lay bands upon thee, 
and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to 
another, till thou hast ended the days of thy 
siege. 

9 1C '*~ Take thou also unto thee wheat, and 
barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and 
'■fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make 
thee bread thereof, according to the number 
of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, 
"three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat 
thereof. 

10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall 
be by weight, "twenty shekels a day: from 
time to time shalt thou eat it. 

11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, 
the sixth part of an "hin : from time to time 
shalt thou drink. 

12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, 
and thou shalt bake it with "dung that cometh 
out of man, in their sight. 

13 And the Lord said, Even thus shall the 
children of Is'ra-el eat their defiled bread 
among the Gen'tlles, whither I will drive them. 

14 "Then said I, Ah Lord God! behold, my 
soul hath not been polluted : for from my youth 
up even till now have I a not eaten of that 
which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; nei- 
ther came there 1T abominable f flesh into my 
mouth. 

15 Then ls he said unto me, Lo, I have given 
thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou 
shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 

16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, 
behold, I will break the f staff of bread in Je- 
ru'sa-lem: and they shall eat bread by weight, 
and with care; and they shall drink water by 
measure, and with astonishment : 

17 That they may want bread and water, 
and be astonied one with another, and con- 
sume ^away for their iniquity.

9. The uncovered arm of the ! 
prophet represents the arm of Jehovah

(Is. 52:10) — "The Lord hath made J 
bare his holy arm in the eyes of all 
the nations; and all the ends of the |

^life, take thee a barber's razor, and cause 
it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard : 
then take thee balances to weigh, and divide 
the hair. 

2 Thou shalt bum with fire a third part 
in the midst of the city, when the days of the 
siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third 
part, and smite 4 about it with a knife: and a 
third part thou shalt 5 scatter in the wind; a^d 
I will draw out 5 a sword after them. 

3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few °in 
number, and bind them in thy skirts. 

4 Then take of them again, and "cast them 
into the midst of the fire, and burn them in 
the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth 
into all the house of Is'ra-el. 

-5 1 T Thus saith the Lord God; This is Je- 
ru'sa-lem: I have set it in the midst s of the 
nations and countries that are round about 
her. 

6 And she hath ^changed my judgments into 
"wickedness more than the nations, and my 
statutes more than the countries that are 
round about her: for they have c refused my 
1 judgments and my statutes, they have not 
walked in them. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause ye multiplied more than the nations 
that are round about you, and have not walked 
in my statutes, neither have kept my judg- 
ments, neither have done according to the 
"judgments of the nations that are round 
about you; 

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I, even I, am against thee, and will exe- 
cute judgments in the midst of thee in the 
sight of the nations. 

9 And d I will do in thee that which I have 
not done, and whereunto I will not do any 
more the like, because of all thine abomina- 
tions. 

10 Therefore the fathers "shall e eat the sons 
in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat 
their fathers; and I fwill execute judgments in 
thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I 
"scatter into all the winds. 

11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; 
Surely, because thou hast, defiled mv sanctuarv

below the heathen standard. (Jer. 
2:11) — "Hath a nation changed their 
gods, which are yet no gods? but my 



people have changed their glory for 
that which doth not profit." 

13. Expressing the awfulness of 
the famine. (Jer. 19:9)— "And I will 



cause them to eat the flesh of their 
sons and the flesh of their daughters, 
and they shall eat every one the flesh 
of his friend, in the siege and strait- 



ness wherewith their enemies and 
they that seek their lives, shall 
straiten them." 



c. But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, 
and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them. 
(Ez. 3:25.)- 

d. And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh 
that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall east it to the dogs. (Ex. 
22:31.) And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, 
and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it 
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. (Lev. 11:40.) 

e. Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments; 
which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their ves- 
sels. (Is. 65:4.) 

f. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall 
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread 
again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. (Lev. 26:26.) 
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff 
of bread. (Ps. 105:16.) For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth 
take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the 
whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water. (Is. 3:1.) 

g. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity 
in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall 
they pine away with them. (Lev. 26:39.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. So that none cf the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the 
land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should 
return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return 
to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape. (Jer. 
44:14.) 

b. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and 
served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 
Amen. (Rom. 1:25.) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who 
Acre before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men. turning 
the grace of our God into lasciviousness. and denying the only Lord 
God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 4.) 

c. But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and burdened their 
necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments; ' and refused to obey, 
neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but 



hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to 
return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious 
and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them 
not. (Neh. 9:16, 17.) They kept not the covenant of God, and refused 
to walk in his law. (Ps. 78:10.) They are turned back to the iniquities 
of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went 
after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of 
Judah have broken mv covenant which I made with their fathers. (Jer. 
11:10.) 

d. The anger of the Lord hath divided them: he will no more re- 
gard them : they respected not the persons of the priests, they favored 
not the elders. (Lam. 4:16.) And he hath confirmed his words, which he 
SDake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing 
upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done 
as hath been done upon Jerusalem. (Dan. 9:12.) 

e. And ve shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your 
daughters shall ye eat. (Lev. 26:29.) And thou shalt eat the fruit of 
thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the 
Lord thv God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, where- 
with thine enemies shall distress thee. (Dt. 28:53.) So we boiled my 
son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day. Give thy 
son, that we may eat him; and she hath hid her son. (II Ks. 6:29.) 

f. Before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteous- 
ness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. (Ps. 9S:9.) 
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 
(Jno. 7:24.) For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every 
secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) 
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while 
the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) 

g. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a 
sword after vou: and vour land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 
(Lev. 26:33.) And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from 
the one end of the earth even unto the other: and there thou shalt serve 
other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood 
and stone. (Dt. 28:64.)

with all thy detestable ^things, and with all 
thine "abominations, therefore will I also di- 
minish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, nei- 
ther will I have "any pity. 

12 r "A third "part of thee shall die with the 
pestilence, and with famine shall they be con- 
sumed in the midst of thee: and a third "part 
shall fall by the sword round about thee; and 
I will scatter "a third "part into all the winds, 
and I will draw out a sword after them. 

13 Thus shall mine 'anger be accomplished, 
and I will cause my "fury to rest upon them, 
'and I will be "comforted: and they shall 
^know that I the Lord have spoken it in my 
a zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in 
them. 

14 Moreover I will make ~thee waste, and a 
reproach among the nations that are round 
about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. 

15 So it shall be a reproach and a ^aunt, 
an instruction and an "astonishment unto the 
nations that are round about thee, when I 
shall ^execute judgments in thee in anger and 
in fury and in ■'furious rebukes. I the Lord 
have spoken it. 

16 When I shall send upon them the evil ar- 
rows of famine, which shall be for their de- 
struction, and which I will send to destroy 
you : and I will increase the famine upon you, 
and will break your staff of bread: 

17 So will I send upon you famine and evil 
^beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and 
,i 'pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; 
and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the 
Lord have spoken it. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 The judgment of Israel for their idolatry. 
8 A remnant shall be blessed. 11 The faith- 
ful are exhorted to lament their calamities. 

1 'And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, set thy face toward the 
2 mountains of Is'ra-el, and prophesy against 
them, 

3 And say, Ye mountains of Is'ra-el, hear 
the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the 
3 Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, 
to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, 
even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I 
will destroy your 4 high places. 

4 And your altars shall be desolate, and 
'your "images shall be broken: and I will cast 
down your slain men before your idols. 

5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the 
children of is'ra-el before their idols; and I 
will scatter your bones round about your al- 
tars. 

6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall 
be laid waste, and the high places shall be 
desolate ; that your altars may be laid waste and 
made desolate, and your idols may be broken 
and cease, and your images mav be cut down, 
and your works may be "abolished.

ments should work satisfactory vindi-

22. These terrible warnings were 
for the purpose of moving the people 
to repentance, but when they failed 
in this, they were sorrowfully ful- 
filled. 

23. The fact of the evil beasts 
roaming the land shows the utter 
desolation of the country. 

Ch. 6, B. C. 594, 

1. In this ch. the captivity and 
destruction of Israel is continued, the 
cause being the persistent Idolatrous 
tendencies of the people. 

2. Defiled because of the idola- 
tr< us worship which had its high 
places in the mountains. 

3. Jehovah. 

4. The altars of idolatrous sacri- 
fices which had been placed on ele- 
vated places. 

7i. Images which had been dedi- 
cated to Baal. 

6. Blotted out. 

7. As a result of the terrible chas- 
tisements or punishments with which 
Ihey were to be visited. 

8. The remnant few would be 
saved as through fire to preserve the 
true faith. (Is. 2:9) — "Except the 
Lord of hosts had left unto us a very 
small remnant, we should have been 
as Sodom, and we should have been 
like unto Gomorrah." 

9. From this point backward their 
whole history had been a series of 
national apostasies from the true 
God; from this point forward there 
has not been a single instance of this. 

10. They shall condemn themselves 
for their own unworthiuess. 

Ch. 7. B, C, 594, 

1. This ch. contains not only the 
continuation of the subject of Israel's 
destruction and separation, but also 
Jehovah's lament over his land and 
people which have become destroyed 
through sin. It has been made plain 
in this ch. that the time for repent- 
ance has passed, the end has come, 
ana that Jehovah's righteous anger 
will be quickly followed with judg- 
ment and the people's sins will be the 
rod of their punishment. 

2. Though Jehovah is merciful. 
persistency in sin will bring a time 
when he cannot spare the guilty. (Ex. 
34:7) — "Keeping loving kindness for 
thousands, forgiving iniquity and 
transgression and sin: and that will 
by no means clear the guilty." 

3. The greatest evil which can be- 
fall a man or nation is to have their 
evil ways turned back upon them. 
Whenever a people which has sown 
to the wind begin to reap the whirl- 
wind, then they begin to think that 
there may be a God. 

4. One of the final evils. 



7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of 
you, and ye shall know 'that I am the Lord. 

8 If 6 Yet will I. leave ^a remnant, that ye 
may have some that shall escape the sword 
among the nations, when ye shall be scattered 
through the countries. 

9 And they that escape of you shall "remem- 
ber me among the nations whither they shall 
be carried captives, because I am broken with 
their whorish heart, which hath departed 
from me, and with their eyes, which go a 
"whoring after their idols : and they shall 
lothe "themselves for the evils which they 
have committed in all their abominations. 

10 And they shall know that I am the Lord, 
and that I have not said in vain that I would 
do this evil unto them. 

11 If Thus saith the Lord God; Smite with 
°thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, 
Alas for all the evil abominations of the house 
of is'ra-el! for they shall fall by the sword, by 
the famine, and by the pestilence. 

12 He that is far off shall die of the pes- 
tilence; and he that is near shall fall by the 
sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged 
shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish 
my fury upon them. 

13 Then shall ye know that I am the Lord, 
when their slain men shall be among their 
idols round about their altars, fi upon every 
high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and 
under every green tree, and under every thick 
oak, the place where they did offer sweet 
savour to all their idols. 

14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, 
and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate 
than the wilderness toward Dib'lath, in all 
their habitations: and they shall know that I 
am the Lord. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 The final desolation of Israel. 16 The mourn- 
ful repentance of them that escape. 20 The 
enemies defile the sanctuary because of the 
Israelites' abominations. 23 Under the type 
of a chain is shewed their miserable cap- 
tivity. 

1 'Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the 
Lord God unto the land of Is'ra-el; An end, 
°the end is come upon the four corners of the 
land. 

3 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will 
send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee 
according to thy ways, and will recompense 
upon thee all thine abominations. 

4 And mine eye shall not 2 spare thee, 
neither will I have pity: but I will recompense 
3 thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations 
shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, 6 an 
'only evil, behold, is come. 



h. And it come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go 
forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the Lord; Such as are for 
death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such 
as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, 
to the captivity. (Jer. 15:2.) 

i. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut 
up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, 
the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and 
avenge me of mine enemies. (Is. 1:24.) 

j. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious re- 
bukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my 
vengeance upon them. (Ez. 25:17.) 

k. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; 
and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many 
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, 
and brimstone. (Ez. 38:22.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and 
make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard 
out of thy mouth. (Ex. 23:13.) Thou shalt have none other gods before 
me. (Dt. 5:7.) Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. (I Cor. 
10:14.) Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you 
up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in 
your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 26:1) 



b. Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of 
the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, 
that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose 
words shall stand, mine or theirs. (Jer. 44:2S.) 

c. Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands 
together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the 
slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which enteretb 
into their privy chambers. (Ez. 21:14.) 

d. For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands: 
and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and 
under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. (Jer. 2:20.) 
They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon 
the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof 
is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your 
spouses shall commit adultery. (Hos. 4:13.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of 
summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon 
my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. (Amos 8:2.; 
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not 
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not 
yet. (Mat. 24:6.) 

b. Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I am 
bringing such evil upen Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever hcareth

6 An end is come, the end is come: it 
3 \vatcheth for thee; behold, it is come. 

7 The "mourning is come unto thee, O thou 
that dwellest in the land: c the time is come, 
the day 7 of trouble is near, and not the "sound- 
ing again of the mountains. 

8 Now will I shortly d pour out my fury upon 
thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: 
and I will judge thee according to thy ways, 
and will recompense thee for all thine abom- 
inations. 

9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will 
I have pity: I will recompense thee according 
to thy ways and thine abominations that are 
in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that 
I am the Lord that smiteth. 

10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the 
morning is gone forth; the rod hath "blos- 
somed, pride hath budded. 

11 Violence is risen up into a in rod of wick- 
edness : none of them shall remain, nor of their 
multitude, nor of any of their's: neither shall 
e there be wailing for them. 

12 The time is come, the day draweth near: 
let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: 
for wrath is upon all the "multitude thereof. 

13 For the seller shall not return to that 
which is sold, although they were yet alive: 
for the vision is touching the whole multitude 
thereof, which shall not return; neither shall 
any strengthen himself "in the iniquity of 
his life. 

14 They have blown the trumpet, even to 
make all ready; but "none goeth to the battle: 
for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 

15 The sword is without, and the pestilence 
and the famine within : he that is in the field 
shall die with the sword; and he that is in 
the city, famine and pestilence shall devour 
him. 

16 H But they "that escape of them shall 
escape, and shall be on the mountains like 
doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, 
every one "for his iniquity. 

17 All hands ''shall be feeble, and all knees 
shall be weak "as water. 

18 They shall also gird themselves with 
sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and 
shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness 
upon all their heads. 

19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, 
and their gold shall be removed: their 'silver 
and their gold shall not be able to deliver 
them in the day of the wrath of the Lord : they 
shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their 



5. That is, aroused from apparent 
slumber against thee. 

6. The doom is come. (R. V.) 

7. The day when the shouts of joy 
cease and the shouts of trouble be- 
gin. 

8. Echo. 

9. From the tree of idolatry and 
pride which they have planted and 
nurtured shall be cut the rod of pun- 
ish meut. 

10. Their own violence has become 
the rod with which they are to be 
scourged. 

11. Everybody, including all 
classes. 

12. Whose life is in his iniquity. 

13. The prophecy of the collapse 
of Judah's military preparation. God 
has deserted them, they are possessed 
with fear, and flee before the battle. 
(Dt. 28:25)— "The Lord shall cause 
thee to be smitten before thine ene- 
mies, thou shalt go out one way 
against them and flee seven ways be- 
fore them, and shalt be removed into 
all the kingdoms of the earth." 

14. In his iniquity. 

15. Incapable of resistance, utter- 
ly prostrated through fear. 

16. Those ways and things which 
they have heretofore depended upon 
in their sins will now be a stumbling 
block to them. 

17. The land is full of sin and 
crime, let the captive chain be forged. 

18. The Chaldeans. (Jer. 6:23)— 
"They shall lay hold on bow and 
sphere; they are cruel and have no 
mercy; their voice roareth like the 
sea; and they ride upon horses set 
in array as men of war against thee, 
O daughter of Zion!" 

19. Instruction shall perish; calam- 
ity upon calamity shall fall upon the 
people, until they will at last be driv- 
en to seek a vision from Jehovah "s 
prophet, and when the vision fails to 
come, they shall seek the priest and 
elders, but all alike are powerless to 
help, the day of repentance is past. 
(Mic. 3:6) — "Therefore night shall be 
unto you that ye shall not have a 
vision; and it shall be dark unto you, 
that ye shall not divine; and the sun 
shall go down over the prophets and 
the day shall be dark over them." 

Ch. 8. B. C. 594. 

1. A little over a year has passed 
since Ez.'s first vision and call to the 
prophetic office, and now he receives 
his third vision of the glory of Jeho- 
vah. He has completed his 190 days 
of lying upon his side before the city, 
which was the greatest task of his 
life. He is now at his home and a 
third vision appears unto him. 

2. Ez.'s ordinary method of say- 
ing, a great task has been laid upon 
me. 

3. The context would indicate that 
an error had been made here and 
this should read "appearance of a 
mah"; which would be a very easy 
mistake made, as the Hebrew words 
for fire and man are so nearly alike 
that they can hardly be distinguished.

God, but feels him.

their iniquity. 

20 II As for the beauty of his ornament, he 
set it in majesty: but they made the images 
of their abominations and of their detestable 
things therein : therefore have I set it far from 
them. 

21 And I will give it into the hands of the 
strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the 
earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it. 

22 My face will I turn also from them, and 
they shall pollute my secret place: for the 
robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. 

23 If Make "a chain: for the land is full of 
bloody crimes, and /i the city is full of violence. 

24 Wherefore I will bring the ls worst of the 
heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I 
will also make the pomp of the strong to 
cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. 

25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek 
peace, and there shall be none. 

26 'Mischief shall come upon mischief, and 
rumour shall be upon rumour; '"then shall they 
seek a vision of the prophet; but the law "shall 
perish from "the priest, and counsel from the 
ancients. 

27 The king shall mourn, and the prince 
shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands 
of the people of the land shall be troubled: 
I will do °unto them after their way, and ac- 
cording to their deserts will I judge them; and 
they shall know that I am the Lord. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 Ezekiel, in a vision at Jerusalem, 5 is shewed 
the image of jealousy, 7 the chambers of 
imagery, 15 the worshippers towards the 
sun. 18 God's wrath for their idolatry. 

1 \A.nd it came to pass in the sixth year, in 
the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, 
as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Ju'dah 
sat before me, that the hand of the 2 Lord God 
fell there upon me. 

2 Then a I beheld, and lo a likeness as the 
appearance 3 of fire: from the appearance of 
his loins even downward, fire; and from his 
loins even upward, as the appearance of bright- 
ness, as the colour of amber. 

3 And he put forth the form of an hand, 
and took me by a lock ''of mine head; and the 
spirit lifted me up between the earth and the 
heaven, and brought me in the visions of God 
to Je-ru'sa-lem, to the door of the inner gate 
that looketh toward the north; where 6 was the 



of it, both his ears shall tingle. And I will stretch over Jerusalem the 
line of Samaria, and the .plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will 
wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it up- 
side down. (II Ks. 21:12, 13.) What do ye imagine against the Lord? 
he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. 
(Nab. 1:9.) 

c. The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, 
even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there 
bitterly. (Zeph. 1:14.) 

d. But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: 
they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither 
did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my 
fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of 
the land of Egypt. (Ez. 20:8.) 

e. For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, 
neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace 
from this people, saith the Lord, even loving-kindness and mercies. 
(Jer. 1G:5.) 

f. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the 
young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of grey 
hairs. (Dt. 32:25.) Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress; my bowels 
are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously 
rebelled; abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death. (Lam. 
l :20.) 

g. Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall 
escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through 
the countries. (Ez. G:8.) 

h. In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for 
in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the 
people. (Is. :::7. 1 \V< have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax 
Feeble: anguish hath taken bold of us, and pain, as of a woman in 
travail. (Jer. 6:24.) 

i. Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivercth 
from death. (Prov. 11:4.) Neither their silver nor their gold shall be 
able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole 
land shall be devoured by the lire of his jealousy: for he shall make 
even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. (Zeph. 1:18.) 



j. Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused 
the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine 
hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their in- 
iquity. (Ez. 44:12.) 

k. Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had 
filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin wherewith he 
made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord. (II Ks. 21:16.) 

1. I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon 
them. (Dt. 32:23.) Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole 
land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a 
moment. (Jer. 4:20.) 

m. Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and 
broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the 
law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord. (Lam. 
2:9.) 

n. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should 
seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. 
But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at 
the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. 
Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the 
people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial 
in the law. (Mai. 2:7-9.) 

o. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it he good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, be- 
hold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man 
according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) "Wherefore, if meat make 
my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest 
I make my brother to offend. (I Cor. S:13.) From henceforth expecting 
till his enemies be made his footstool. (Heb. 10:13.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. And above the firmament that was over their heads was the like- 
ness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon 
the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man 
above upon it. (Ez. 1:26.) 

b. For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the

seat of the image °of jealousy, which c provok- 
eth to jealousy. . 

4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Is'- 
ra-el was there, according to the vision that 
I saw in the plain. 

5 1f "Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift 
up thine eyes now the way toward the north. 
So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the 
north, and behold northward at the gate of the 
altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 

6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, 
seest thou what they do? even the %reat 
'abominations that the house of Is'ra-el com- 
mitteth here, that I should go far off 8 from 
my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and 
thou shalt see greater abominations. 

7 11 And he brought me to the door of the 
court; and when I looked, behold a hole °in the 
wall. 

8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, 10 dig 
now in the wall: and when I .had digged in 
the wall, behold a door. 

9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold 
the wicked abominations that they do here. 

10 So I went in and saw; and behold every 
form "of creeping things, and abominable 
beasts, and all the idols of the house of Is'ra-el, 
pourtrayed upon the wall round about. 

11 And there stood before them seventy men 
of the ancients of the house of Is'ra-el, and 
in the midst of them stood Ja-az-a-ni'ah the 
son of Sha'phan, v/ith every man his censer in 
his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. 

12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast 
thou seen what the ancients of the house of 
Is'ra-el do in the dark, every man in the cham- 
bers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord 
seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth. 

13 If He said also unto me, Turn thee yet 
again, and thou shalt see greater abomina- 
tions that they do. 

14 Then he brought me to the door of the 
gate of the Lord's house which was toward the 
north; and, behold, there sat women weeping 
for Tam'muz. 

15 If Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen 
this, son of man? turn thee yet again, and 
thou shalt see "greater abominations than 
these. 

16 And he brought me into the inner court 
of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door 
of the temple of the Lord, between the porch 
and the altar, were about five and twenty men, 
with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, 
and their faces toward the east; and they wor- 
shipped c the sun toward the east. 

17 If Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen 
this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the 
house of Ju'dah that they commit the abomina- 
tions which they commit here? for they have

turned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they 
put the branch to their nose. 

18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine 
eye 13 shall not spare, neither will I have pity: 
and though they fcry in mine ears with a loud 
voice, yet will I not hear them. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 A vision, whereby is shewed the preservation 
of some, 5 and destruction of the rest. 

1 He J cried also in mine ears with a loud 
voice, saying, Cause them that have charge 
over the city to draw near, even every man 
with his destroying weapon in his hand. 

2 And, behold, six 2 men came from the way 
of the higher gate, which lieth toward the 
north, and every man a slaughter weapon in 
his hand; a and one man 3 among them was 
clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by 
his side: and they went in, and stood beside 
the 4 brasen altar. 

3 And the glory of the God of is'ra-el was 
gone up from the s cherub, whereupon he was, 
to the threshold of the house. And he called 
to the man clothed with linen, which had the 
writer's inkhorn by his side; 

4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through 
the midst of the city, through the midst of Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and set a mark upon the foreheads 
of the men ''that sigh and that cry for all the 
abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 

5 If And to the others he said in mine hear- 
ing, Go ye after him through the city, and 
smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye 
pity: 

6 Slay c utterly old and young, both maids 
and little children, and women: but come not 
near any man upon whom is the mark; and 
begin at my "sanctuary. Then they began at 
the 'ancient men which were before the house. 

7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, 
and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. 
And they went forth, and slew in the city. 

8 1f And it came to pass, while they were 
slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon 
my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! 
wilt thou destroy all the residue of Is'ra-el in 
thy pouring out of thy fury upon Je-ru'sa-lem? 

9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the 
house of Is'ra-el and Ju'dah is exceeding great, 
and the land is d full of blood, and the city full 
of perverseness : for they say, The Lord hath 
forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not. 

10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not 
spare, neither will I have pity, but I will 
''recompense their way upon their head. 

11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, 
which had the inkhorn by his side, reported 
the matter, saying, I have done "as thou hast 
commanded me. 



Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called 
by my name, to pollute it. (Jer. 7:30.) 

c. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abom- 
inations provoked they him to anger. (Dt. 32:16.) 

d. And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy 
fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods 
of the strangers of the land whither they go to be among them, and 
will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 
(Dt. 31:16.) 

e. And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou 
seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, 
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord 
thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. (Dt. 
4:19.) If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in 
brightness. (Job 31:26.) But we will certainly do whatsoever thing 
goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of 
heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, 
and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and 
in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and 
were well, and saw no evil. (Jer. 44:17.) 

f. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall 
seek me early, but they shall not find me. (Prov. 1:28.) Therefore thus 
saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall 
not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not 
hearken unto them. (Jer. 11:11.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen 
breeches . upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and 
with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; there- 



fore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. (Lev. 16:4.) 
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, 
clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with 
golden girdles. (Rev. 15:6.) 

b. Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that 
forsake thy law. (Ps. 119:53.) (For that righteous man dwelling among 
them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day 
with their unlawful deeds.) (II Pet. 2:8.) 

c. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass 
of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those 
men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. (Rev. 9:4.) For, 
lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and 
should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I 
will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the 
Lord of hosts. (Jer. 25:29.) For the time is come that judgment must 
begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the 
end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (I Pet. 4:17.) 

d. Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had 
filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin wherewith 
he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord. (II Ks. 21:16.) 

e. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, 
behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man 
according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Wherefore, if meat make 
my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest 
I make my brother to offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) For we know him that 
hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the 
Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.)

CHAPTER 10. 

1 The vision of the coals of fire, to be scattered 

over the city. 8 The vision of the cherubim. 

1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firma- 
ment that was "above the head of the cherubim 
there appeared over them as it were a sapphire 
stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a 
throne. 

2 And he spake unto the man clothed with 
linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even 
under the cherub, and fill thine hand with 
coals of fire from between the cherubim, and 
scatter ^them over the city. And he went in 
in my sight. 

3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side 
of the house, when the man went in; and the 
G cloud filled the inner court. 

4 'Then the glory of the Lord went up from 
the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the 
house; and the house was filled with the cloud, 
and the court was full of the brightness of the 
Lord's glory. 

And the sound of the °cherubim's wings 
was heard even to the outer court, as the voice 
of the Almighty God when he speaketh. 

6 And it came to pass, that when he had 
commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, 
Take *fire from between the wheels, from be- 
tween the cherubim; then he went in, and 
stood beside the wheels. 

7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand 
from between the cherubim unto the fire that 
was between the cherubim, and took thereof, 
and put it into the hands of him that was 
clothed with linen: who took it, and went out. 

8 r And there appeared in the cherubim the 
form of a man's hand under their wings. 

9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels 
by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, 
and another wheel by another cherub : and the 



Ch. 10. B. C. 594. 

1. I11 ch. lu Is given the fourth 
vision of Jehovah, which is very simi- 
lar to the one in ch. 1. The great 
emphasis the prophet places upon this 

I vision in the minutae of description 
indicates that he understood it to 
contain some revelation. In fact, it 
! is really the key to the entire prophe- 
| ey. expressing the human in the at- 
tributes of Jehovah in contrast to the 
beastly conception of the heathen's 
god. and that the entire world and its 
government are irrevocably over- 
shadowed and governed by Jehovah, 
the Divine King. 

2. Symbolical of judgment to 
come, which Josephus says was ful- 
filled by Xebuzaradan. "In the fifth 
month and first day of the month, in 
the eleventh year of the reign of 
Zedekiah. he robbed the temple, set 
lire to it. also burnt the palace and 
overthrew the city." 

3. Jehovah has always appeared to 
man in a cloud. To Moses "'the glory 
of the Lord appeared in a cloud." On 
the Mount of Transfiguration, "a 
cloud overshadowed them." 

4. Fire is symbolical of God's 
purity. therefore the destructive 
agency is really the destructive holi- 
ness of Jehovah. Orelli says, "What 
really destroys the town is the de- 
structive holiness of Jehovah." 

5. To depart, following the glory 
of the Lord, who had now returned 
to his chariot and moves out of the 
temple. 

6. If we try to dissect this vision 
we are in great danger of taking all 
the life out of it. It must not be 
forgotten that the cloud and the 
lightning, the wheels and cherubim, 
were only "the pictorial clothing of 
the supreme truth that in his vision 
Ezekiel's soul met the infinite and 
eternal face to face and heard the 
secret of Jehovah's counsel from his 
own month (W. Robinson Smith): yet. 
we may be able to catch, if only in 
dim outline, the meaning of each "part 
of this complex picture. Xot until 
Ez. had several times seen this vision 
did he realize that the "living crea- 
tures" who were the glory bearers of 
Jehovah were the cherubim. They 
were so unlike the cherubim of the 
temple with which he was acquainted 



appearance of the wheels was as the colour 
of a beryl stone. 

10 And as for their appearances, they four 
had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the 
midst of a wheel. 

11 When they went, they went upon their 
four sides; they turned not as they went, but 
to the place whither the head looked they fol- 
lowed it; they turned not as they went. 

12 And their whole body, and their backs, 
and their hands, and their wings, and the 
wheels, were full d of eyes round about, even 
the wheels that they four had. 

13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them 
in my hearing, wheel. 

14 And every one had four faces: the first 
face was the face of a cherub, and the second 
face was the face of a man, and the third the 
face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an 
eagle. 

15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This 
is the living creature that I saw by the river 
of Che bar. 

16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels 
went by them: and when the cherubim lifted 
up their wings to mount up from the earth, the 
same wheels also turned not from beside them. 

17 When they stood, these stood; and when 
they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves 
also: for the spirit of the living creature was 
in them. 

18 Then ^the glory of the Lord departed 
from off the threshold of the house, and stood 
over the cherubim. 

19 And e the "cherubim lifted up their wings, 
and mounted up from the earth in my sight: 
when they went out, the wheels also were be- 
side them, and every one stood at the door of 
the east gate of the Lord's house; and the glory 
of the God of Is'ra-el was over them above. 

20 This is the living creature that I saw 



that he never realized their essential 
identity until he saw the vision in 
the temple itself, and perceived that 
these living creatures took the place 
above the mercy seat which the 
carved cherubim formerly occupied, 
just as the flying wheels and the 
throne took the place always sacred 
to the unseen glory (the Sbeklnah). 
It is surprising that expositors, not- 
withstanding the marked difference 
between Ez. 's cherubim aud those of 
the tabernacle and temple, have yet 
attempted to make them as nearly 
identical in form as possible. Even 
M. Pinches supposes there must have 
been "a peculiar cherubic form" 
which Ez. recognized in the living 
creatures, "though kept secret from 
others," and even yet an "unfathom- 
able mystery" (Smith's Diet, of the 
Bible. 1S03). But whatever Ezekiel's 
words imply here, they could not de- 
clare exact similaritv of form (Ex. 
27, ■.■!•: I Ks. S:7I. Indeed, the chief 
object in repeating the vision must 
have been to bring out the new truth 
levealed by this new view of these 
strange symbolic creatures as cheru- 
bim. Muller's idea (Ez. studiou. 
1S95) that Ez. substituted the cheru- 
bim in this vision for "living crea- 
tures" and made certain other 
changes because of the criticism of 
those to whom he had told the first 
vision, is as deficient in a just ap- 
preciation of the prophet's character 
as in spiritual discernment. V. 22 is 
in itself sufficient refutation of this 
hypothesis. Every Hebrew would 
have been surprised at the identifica- 
tion by a priest, such as Ez.. of 
these animal forms with the temple 
cherubim, and would begin to search 
at once for the points of comparison 



and contrast, and for spiritual les- 
sons hidden therein. On the other 
hand, it is equally clear that these 
"living creatures" of Ez. were no 
copies of the so-called "winged bulls" 
of Assyria. Those stone guardians of 
the temple, with their single human 
face and long beard and miter orna- 
mented with horns, were strikingly 
different from these fiery four-faced 
"living ones" covered with eyes. It 
has recently been doubted whether 
the name Kerubi is ever used for 
these "guardians of the palace" 
(Davis. Gen. & Semetie Tradition). 
But if, indeed, those complex animal 
forms bore the same name as these 
living creatures of Ez.. this would 
only more quickly- lead everyone who 
listened on the banks of the old 
Babylonian canal to the recital of 
this strange vision, to compare and 
contrast these very different forms 
in order to learn the lessons, which 
thus might be taught of providence 
and deity. What these spiritual les- 
sons were we may be able now only 
to grasp very partially. One inav 
well regret that the author of the 
Epistle to the Hebrews, when be 
spoke of the "cherubim of glory." 
was forced to add. "of which "we 
cannot now speak particularly" (Heb. 
9:3-5). How much controversy and 
confusion of tongues it would have 
saved if he had given just then one 
of the parentheses of which he was 
so fond: The similarity between the 
Babylonian and all forms of the He- 
brew cherubim is evident. All of 
these "mighty ones" were symbolical 
forms manifesting the invisible. They 
were divine watchers and guardians', 
mediators between God and man. rep 
resentatives of the divine will, pro- 



tectors of the divine law. and up- 
holders of the divine throne. How 
different from the Hebrew cherubim: 
They were wholly dominated by the 
One. There was no caprice or per- 
sonal feeling possible. In Eden, in 
the tabernacle, in the temple, on the 
Chebar. everywhere and always, Je- 
hovah dwells "between the cherubim" 
and his will and his spirit moves 
them. But while the Bible cherubim 
agree in this and thus differ vitally 
from the Babylonian, there is a vast 
growth to be traced in the Hebrew 
conception represented by these sym- 
bolic forms. The cherubim in Eden 
are guardians of the tree of life, and 
their revolving sword or "disk of 
fire" (Lenormanti is especially em- 
phasized. They were pre-eminently 
representatives of the divine justice 
and power. The cherubim of the 
tabernacle and the temple have no 
sword. They watch over the mercy 
seat and the written law. and point 
the way with beckoning wings to the 
new Eden — the gates of which are 
now open — and to the tree of life, of 
which, through God's mercy, even 
the sinful man can now eat. All the 
cherubic heraldry wrought into the 
tapestry of the tabernacle and adorn- 
ing the walls of the temple was a 
heraldry of grace. But Ez.'s vision 
shows a great advance upon any pre- 
vious revelation. Before this the 
cherubim were seen only in the tem- 
ple. They svere guardians of the 
covenant of grace which God had 
made with the Israelites. Only Is- 
raelites could enter the temple. It 
was only the sins of the Jewish na- 
tion which the high priest confessed, 
and for which he received pardon as 
he knelt close to the mercy seat. 



shadowed by the glorious wings of 
the cherubim. Where the cherubim 
are. God's holy place must be; but 
Ez. sees the cherubim outside the 
temple and outside the limiis by 
which heretofore he and his nation 
had always bounded the "holy city" 
and the "holy land." God's holy 
place and the holy guardians of his 
law and covenant are not confiDed 
any more within the walls of Jerusa- 
lem. The throne which the Jews al- 
ways thought of as above the cberu- 
bim iu the temple is now seen on the 
Chebar. Jehovah now "fills the whole 
earth with his glory." and all nature 
"with the flowing edge of his robe" 
(Jer. 7:4). and the symbolic cherubim 
are no longer of the exclusive Jewish 
type. They have taken on a manifold 
form. They are neither Jewish. 
Egyptian nor Babylonian. They com- 
bine all elements. The single faced 
cherub of the Jerusalem temple has 
become the four-sided, four-winged, 
four-faced cherub of God's universal 
sanctuary. It looks toward every 
point of the compass, toward every 
nation of men. The images of gold 
in the local holy of holies have given 
way to living beings full of spiritual 
fires. The cloud of incense hiding 
the unseen Presence has given place 
to "the likeness of a man upon the 
throne." The Palestinian and Jewish 
conception of God and his providence 
has gone down before the new and 
lofty thought that the one God be- 
longs to the whole earth and the 
whole earth to him. and that all 
forms of life, even the gods and genii 
of the heathen and the guaraians of 
death, are but manifestations or serv- 
ants of the One supreme. Never have 
the omnipotence, the omnipresence, 



Chapter 10. 

a. And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living 
creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over 
their heads above. (Ez. 1:22.) And he that sat was to look upon like 
a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about 
the throne in sight like unto an emerald. (Rev. 4:3.) 

b. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the dav 
of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was 

ippearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I 
riw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. 
(Ez. 1:28.1 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the con- 



gregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord 
filled the tabernacle. (Ex. 40:35.) 

c. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the 
noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, 
as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. 
(Ez. 1:24.1 

d. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and 
they were full of eyes within : and they rest not day and night, saying. 
Holy, holv, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 
(Rev. 4:8.') 

e. Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels beside

under the God of Is'ra-el by the river of 
Che'bar; and I knew that they were the cheru- 
bim. 

21 fEvery one had four faces apiece, and 
every one four wings; and the likeness of the 
hands of a man was under their wings. 

22 And the likeness of' their faces was the 
same faces which I saw by the river of Che'- 
bar, their appearances and themselves: -"they 
went every one straight forward. 

CHAPTER 11. 

1 The presumption of the princes. 13 Ezekiel 
complaining , God sheiveth him his purpose in 
caving a remnant. 

1 'Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and 
brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's 
house, which looketh eastward : and behold at 
the door of the gate five and twenty men; 
among whom I saw Ja-az-a-ni'ah the son of 
A'zur, and Pel-a-ti'ah the son of Be-na'iah, 
princes of the people. 

2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these 
are the men that devise mischief, and give 
wicked counsel in this city: 

3 Which say, It is not near; let us build 
houses : this city is the "caldron, and we be the 
flesh. 

4 r Therefore prophesy against them, proph- 
esy, son 01 man. 

5 And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, 
and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord; 
Thus have ye said, O house of Is'ra-el: for a l 
"know the things that come into your mind, 
every one of them. 

6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, 
and ye have filled the streets thereof with the 
slain. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 6 Your 
slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, 
they are the flesh, and this city is the 4 caldron : 
but I will bring you forth out of the midst 
of it. 

8 Ye have °f eared the sword; and I will 
bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God. 

9 And I will bring you out of the midst 
thereof, and deliver you into the hands of 
strangers, and will execute judgments among 

you. 

10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge 



and the omniscience of the deity been 
more vividly and forcibly pictured. 
Whirlwind, cloud and lightning and 
all the most subtle aud untamable 
forces of nature are his ministers. 
The powers of heaven and earth and 
the under world bow submissively be- 
fore his throne. Life and death, men 
and demons, are his servants. It was 
a lesson Ezekiel's captive and stricken 
comrades needed to learn. They, no 
doubt, almost universally thought of 
Jehovah as the God of Jerusalem and 
of Canaan, and when they were car- 
ried away from these holy places, 
from the temple, the altar, and the 
cherubim, and all the customary wor- 
ship and ritual were left far behind 
them In the distance, many of them 
began to feel themselves justified in 
honoring the gods of the land wherein 
they dwelt. Especially were they 
tempted to do this when it appeared 
that even the sanctity of the distant 
temple was not to be maintained, and 
even the holy of holies had been pro- 
faned by the feet of the invading 
heathen. Then it was that this seer 
of God. in his splendid picture, paint- 
ed before their eyes the mighty, all- 
conquering truth that "the Lord is 
here," and every spot where he re- 
veals himself is holy ground, and that 
he is "Lord" in Babylon as truly as 
in Jerusalem. This is the central 
thought of the vision and of the entire 
prophecy. Israel may sin, the temple 
may be destroyed. Jerusalem may 
fall, "the kings of the earth set them- 
selves, and the rulers .take counsel 
against Jehovah." but his sovereignty 
remains untouched. He is still "God 
of gods and Lord of lords, the great 
God. a mighty and terrible." who 
"doth execute the judgment and lov 
eth the stranger" (Dt. 10:1S), as 
powerful and as gracious on the 
plains of Chaldea as in the mountains 
about the holy city. This seems to 
have been the lesson which God 
taught Ezekiel and he. in turn, taught 
to his countrymen from this "vision 
of God." Thus the nature and office 
of the cherubim are clearly seen. 
They are the guardians of the divine 
majesty, mediatorial revelations of 
the glory of the One, concentrating 
In themselves all the forces of im- 
material nature and all the quintes- 
sence of universal life. Animate and 
inanimate nature, man. and all the 
powers and principalities of heaven 
and hades, are but revelations of the 
divine presence, fitly enthroning the 
supreme revelation of the invisible 
God in the man upon the throne. 
The influence of this vision upon later 
writers is almost unparalleled. The 
early fathers, particularly, were sure 
that the four cherubim were sym- 
bolical of the nature and work of 



you in the border of Is'ra-el; ,J and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

11 This city shall not be your caldron, 
neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst 
thereof; but I will judge you in the border of 
Is'ra-el: 

12 And ye shall know that I am the Lord: 
for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither 
executed my judgments, but have c done after 
the manners of the heathen that are round 
about you. 

13 % And it came to pass, when I prophesied, 
that Pel-a-ti'ah the son of Be-na'iah died. 
Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with 
a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou 
make a full end of the remnant of Is'ra-el? 

14 Again the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy breth- 
ren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house 
of is'ra-el wholly, are they unto whom the 
inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem have said, Get you 
far from the Lord: unto us is this land given 
in possession. 

16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; 
Although I have cast them far off among the 
heathen, and although I have scattered them 
among the countries, yet will I be to them as a 
little 5 sanctuary in the countries where they 
shall come. 

17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; 
1 will even gather you from the people, and 
assemble you out of the countries where ye 
have been scattered, and I will give you the 
land of Is'ra-el. 

18 And they shall come thither, and #they 
shall take away all the detestable things there- 
of and all the abominations thereof from 
thence. 

19 And I will give them one heart, and I 
will put "a new spirit within you; and I will 
take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will 
give them an heart of flesh : 

20 That they may walk in my statutes, and 
'keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they 
shall ba my people, and I will be their God. 

21 But as for them whose heart walketh 
after the heart of their detestable things and 
their abominations, I will •'recompense their 
way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God. 



Christ: the man representing his in- 
carnation; the lion, the emblem of 
Judah. his eternal kingship; the ox. 
his atoning sacrifice; the eagle, his 
heavenly spirit aud essential divinity. 
:-o iilso many of the earliest fathers 
belieTed that these "living creatures" 
prefigured the four evangelists: St. 
Matthew having written the gospel 
nf his humanity: St. Mark, the eagle 
gospel; St. Luke, the priestly or 
sacrificial narrative; and St. John, 



the royal gospel, showing his glorious 
generation from the Father — though 
later- writers almost universally as- 
sign the eagle to St. John, aud the 
lion to St. Mark. (Cobern. ) 
Ch. 11. B. C. 594. 

1. In vs. 1-21 is recorded the 
wicked advice of the political. leaders. 

2. Jer. had compared the city to 
a seething pot. which means caldron 
in Heb. (Jer. 1:13) — "And the word 
of the Lord came unto me the second 



time saying. What seest thou? And 
I said. I see a seething pot. and the 
face thereof is toward the north." 
This is the sneering answer of the 
war party to the prophet's prediction. 
If they were to be in a caldron, they 
would strengthen the iron walls of 
the kettle and remain in rather than 
jump into the Babylonian fires. 

3. Their secret plottings and plans 
are well known to Jehovah and his 
prophets. 



4. The city shall be a caldron to 
them but not to you; ye shall meet 
your doom on the frontier. 

5. The thought is here expressed 
that it is the presence of Jehovah 
that makes the sanctuary and not the 
sanctuary that secures the presence 
of Jehovah; therefore. Jehovah being 
with them in the country where they 
go. there they will have a sanctuary 
also. 



them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. (Ez. 
11:22.) 

f. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings (6). 
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four 
sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. (Ez. 1:6, S.) 

g. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his 
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. (Ps. 103:20.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew 
all men. (Jno. 2:24.) And I will kill her children with death; and all 
the churches shall know thav I am he which searcheth the reins and 
hearts: arid I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 
(Rev. 2:23.) 

b. And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes 
of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know* judgment? Who hate 
the good, and love the evil ; who pluck off their skin from off them, 
and their flesh from off their bones. (Mic. 3:1, 2.) 

c. The fear of the wicked, it shah come upon him; but the desire 
of the righteous shall be granted. (Prov. 10:24.) 

d. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) 

e. After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye 
net do: and after the doings cf the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, 
shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. (Lev. 
18:3.) Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, 
after that they be destroyed from before thee: and that thou enquire 
not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? 
even so w-ill I do likewise. (Dt. 12:30.) 

f. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so 



will 1 acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom 
I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their 
good. (Jer. 24:5.) 

g. Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, 
nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: 
but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have 
sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will 
be their God. (Ez. 37:23.) 

h. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit 
within me. (Ps. 51:10.) But this shall be the covenant that I will make 
with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my 
law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their 
God, and they shall be my people. (Jer. 31:33.) 

i. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am 
the Lord. (Lev. 22:31.) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart 
keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Thou shalt keep therefore his 
statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that 
it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that 
thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) But it shall come to pass, if thou 
wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do 
all his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this 
day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. (Dt. 
28:15.) That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his stat- 
utes, and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy 
son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may 
be prolonged. (Dt. 6:2.) 

j. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And. 
behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man

22 *" 'Then did the cherubim lift up their 
wings, and the wheels beside them; and the 
glory of the God of Is'ra-el was over them 
above. 

23 And the glory of the Lord went up from 
the midst of the city, and stood '-'upon the 
mountain which is on the east side of the city. 

24 % T Afterwards the spirit took me up, and I 
brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God 
into Chal-de'a, to them of the captivity. So 
the vision that I had seen went up from me. 

25 Then I 'spake unto them of the captivity 
all the things that the Lord had shewed me. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 The type of Ezekiel's removing. 8 It shelved 
the captivity of Zedekiah. 17 Ezekiel's trem- 
bling sheweth the Jens' desolation. 

1 "The word of the Lord also -came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of 
a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and 
see mot; they have ears to hear, and hear not: 
for they are a rebellious house. 

3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee 
stuff for removing, and remove by day in their 
sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place 
to another place in their sight: it may be they 
will consider, though they be a rebellious house. 

4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by 
day in their sight, as stuff for removing : and 
thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as 
they that go forth into captivity. 

5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, 
and cany out thereby. 

6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy 
shoulders, and cany it forth in the twilight: 
thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the 
ground: a for I have set thee for a sign unto 
the house of Is'ra-el. 

7 And I did so as I was commanded: I 
brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for 
captivity, and in the even I digged through 
the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in 
the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder 
in their sight. 

8 *~ And in the morning came the word of 
the Lord unto me, saying, 

9 Son of man, hath not the house of Is'ra-el, 
the rebellious house, said unto thee, What 
*doest thou? 

10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; This c burden concerneth the prince in 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and all the house of Is'ra-el that 
are among them. 

11 Say, I am a your sign: like as I have 
done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall 
remove and go into captivity. 

12 And the prince that is among them shall 
bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and 
shall go forth: they shall dig through the 
wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his

Ch. 12. B. C. 594. 



1. Beginning with this ch. and 
continuing through to the 2oth, is 
shown the necessity of Israel's de- 
struction. She has been threatened 
many times for her disobedience and 
her "punishment has been postponed, 
but she has passed the day of re- 
pentance, and destruction is the only 
course left for Jehovah to pursue. 



2. They have become so steeped 
in sin that their conscience has be- 
come seared and their moral percep- 
tion deadened until having eyes they 
see not. (Is. 6:9) — "And he said. Go 
and tell this people. Hear ye indeed, 
but understand not: and see ye in- 
deed, but perceive not.''

permitted to explain his acted para- 
ble.

eyes. 

13 My net 4 also will I spread upon him, and 
he shall be taken in my snare : and I will 
bring him to Bab'y-lon to the land of the 
Chal-de'ans; yet shall he not see it, though he 
shall die there. 

14 And I will scatter toward every wind all 
that are about him to help him, and all his 
bands; and I will draw out the sword after 
them. 

15 *And they shall know that I am the 
Lord, when I shall scatter them among the na- 
tions, and disperse them in the countries. 

16 But I will leave <"a few men of them 
from the sword, from the famine, and from the 
pestilence; that they may declare all their 
abominations among the heathen whither they 
come; and they shall know that I am the Lord. 

17 *~ Moreover the word of the Lord came to 
me, saying, , 

18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, 
and drink thy water with trembling and with 
carefulness; 

19 And say unto the people of the land, 
Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and of the land of Is'ra-el; They 
shall eat their bread with carefulness, and 
drink their water with astonishment, that her 
land may be desolate from all that is therein, 
because of the violence of all them that dwell 
therein. 

20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be 
laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and 
ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

21 r And the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye 
have in the land of Is'ra-el, saying, 'The days 
are prolonged, and every vision faileth? 

23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord 
God, I will make this proverb to cease, and 
they shall no more use it as a proverb in 
is'ra-el; but say unto them, »The days are at 
hand, and the effect of every vision. 

24 For there shall be no more any vain 
vision nor flattering divination within the 
house of is'ra-el. 

25 For I am the Lord: I will speak, and 
''the word that I shall speak shall come to 
pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in 
your days, rebellious house, will I say the 
word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God. 

26 f Again the word of the Lord came to me, 
saying, 

27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of 
Is'ra-el say, The vision that he seeth is for 
many days to come, and he prophesieth of the 
times that are far off. 

28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God; There 'shall none of my words be 
prolonged any more, but the word which I 
have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God. 



according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Fcr we know him that 
hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the 
Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

k. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, 
which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall 
cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and 
there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall re- 
move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. (Zeeh. 14:4.) 

I. And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but 
have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to 
house. (Acts 20:20.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath 
done shall ye do; and when this cometh, ve shall know that I am the 
Lord God. (Ez. 24:24.) Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath 
given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of 
hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. (Is. S:1S.) And the Lord said, 
Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years 
for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia. (Is. 20:3.) 

b. And Hie people said unto me. Wilt thou not tell us what these 
things arc to us, that thou doest so? (Ez. 24:10.) Then said I. Ah Lord 
God! they say of me. Doth he not speak parables? (Ez. 20:49.) 

e. And Elijah said unto Elisha. Tarry here, I pray thee; for the 
Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord 

tb, and as thy soul livcth, I will not leave thee. So they went down 
to Bethel (2). And he went from thence to mount Carmel: and from 
thence he returned to Samaria (20). And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, 



tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he 
said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. 
So they came to Jericho. (II Ks. 2:2. 25. 4.) Then said Jehu to Bidkar 
his captain. Take up, and east him in the portion of the field of Na- 
both the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode to- 
gether after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden upon him. (II 
Ks. 9:25.) The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did 
see. (Is. 13:1.) 

d. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that 
wanteth understanding, she saith to him. (Prov. 9:lfi.) And the Egyp- 
tians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine hand 
upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. 
(Ex. 7:5.) 

e. For thus hath the Lord said. The whole land shall be desolate; 
yet will I not make a full end. (Jer. 4:27.) 

f. And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the 
fathers fell asleep, all thines continue as thev were from the beginning 
of the creation. (II Pet. 3:4.) 

g. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion. and sound an alarm in my holy 
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of 
the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand. (Joel 2:1.) The great day of the 
Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day 
of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. (Zeph. 1:14.) 

h. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall 
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, 
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Is. 55:11.)

CHAPTER 13. 
1 The reproof of lying prophets, 10 and their 
untempered mortar. 17 Of prophetesses and 
their pillows. 

1 'And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets 
of -Is'ra-el that prophesy, and say thou unto 
them that prophesy out of their "own mearts, 
Hear ye the word of the Lord: 

3 Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the 
foolish ^prophets, that follow their own ^spirit, 
and have seen °nothing! 

4 O Is'ra-el, thy prophets are & like the 7 foxes 
in the deserts. 

5 Ye have not gone c up into the gaps, 
neither made up "the hedge for the house of 
Is'ra-el to stand in the battle in the day of the 
Lord. 

6 They have seen "vanity and lying divina- 
tion, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord 
hath not sent them: and they have made 
''others to hope that they would confirm the 
word. 

7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have 
ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye 
say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not 
spoken? 

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause ye have spoken '"vanity, and seen lies, 
therefore, behold, I am against "you, saith the 
Lord God. 

9 And mine '"hand e shall' be upon the proph- 
ets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they 
shall not be in the assembly of my people, 
neither fshall they be written in the writing 
of the house of Is'ra-el, ^'neither shall they 
enter into the land of Is'ra-el; and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord God. 

10 If Because, even because they have se- 
duced my people, saying, Peace; and there was 
no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, 
others 1= daubed it with untempered mortar: 

11 Say unto them which 'Maub it with un- 
tempered mortar, that it shall fall : ''there shall 
be an overflowing shower; and ye, great 
hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall 
rend it. 

12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not 
be said unto you, Where is the daubing where- 
with ye have "daubed it? 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I 
will even rend it with a stormy wind in my 
fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower 
in mine anger, and great hailstones in my 
fury to consume it. 



Ch. 13. B C. 534. 

1. In ch. 13. Ez. rebukes the false 
prophets who have inspired the people 
with delusive hopes. He explains the 
difference between the true and false 
prophets of Jehovah, viz., (1) they 
differ in their motives; (2) in the 
spirit controlling them (see v. 7) ; (3) 
in the ultimate fulfillment of their 
prophecies, which are always at vari- 
ance with historic facts (see vs. S, 
10, 16). 

2. Indeed prophets of Israel, but 
not prophets of Jehovah. 

3. That is, their desire was to 
please the people rather than tell the 
truth. 

4. ''Fool" in scriptural language 
means impious. (Jer. 23:14) — "I have 
seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem 
an horrible thing; they commit adul- 
tery and wall; in lies; they strengthen 
also the hands of evil-doers, that none 
doth return from his wickedness: thea- 
tre all of them unto me as Sodom, 
and the inhabitants thereof as Go- 
morrah." 

5. That is. the spirit which con- 
trols tin 1:1 is from within their own 
hearts and not from above. 

0. No heavenly vision. 

7. That is, they will not assist 
you to build in strength, but will 
undermine your strength as foxes 
undermine walls. 

S. They cannot build enduriugly 
before Jehovah. 

9. Nothinguess, falsehood. Yet 
they have deceived the people into 
believing that their false lies will be- 
come true. 

10. Falsehood, lies. 

11. To punish your wicked profan- 
ation of my name. 

12. Upon the disobedient the hand 
of Jehovah shall fall heavily. 

13. The false prophets, with whit- 
ed plaster. 

14. The false prophets simply ve- 
neered the structure instead of cover- 
ing it with uniting cement or plaster. 

15. Though the Chaldeans wrought 
the destruction, they were executing 
Jehovah's judgments. 

16. The lying prophets are the 
false teachers. Their sin is greater 
than that of the people, as some of 
the people escaped, but the false 
prophets were all alike destroyed (v. 
14). 

17. To quiet the fears and calm 
the conscience of • the wicked is an 
awful thing in the sight of Jehovah. 

IS. Who sew bandages upon the 
joints. 

Ch. 14. B. C. 594. 

1. In vs. 1-5. the idolatrous elders 
vainly inquire of God concerning the 
future. 



14 So will I break down "the wall that ye 
have daubed with untempered mortar, and 
bring it down to the ground, so that the foun- 
dation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall 
fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst 
thereof : and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon 
the wall, and upon them that have daubed it 
with untempered mortar, and will say unto 
you, The wall is no more, neither 10 they that 
daubed it; 

16 To wit, the prophets of Is'ra-el which 
prophesy concerning Je-ru'sa-lem, and which 
see visions of peace to her, and there is no 
'peace, saith the Lord God. 

17 "if Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face 
against the daughters of thy people, which 
prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy 
thou against them, 

18 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe 
to the women that sew pillows to all ls armholes, 
and make kerchiefs upon the head of every 
stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls 
of my people, and will ye save the souls alive 
that come unto you? 

19 And will ye pollute me among my people 
i for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, 
to slay the souls that should not die, and to 
save the souls alive that should not live, by your 
lying to my people that hear your lies? 

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye 
there hunt the souls .to make them fly, and I 
will tear them from your arms, and will let 
the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to 
make them fly. 

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and de- 
liver my people out of your hand, and they 
shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; 
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

22 Because with lies ye have made the heart 
of the righteous sad, whom I have not made 
sad; and •'strengthened the hands of the wick- 
ed, that he should not return from his wicked 
way, by promising him life: 

23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, 
nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my 
people out of your hand: and ye shall know 
that I am the Lord. 

CHAPTER 14. 

1 God answereth idolaters. 12 His irrevocable 
sentence of famine, 17 of the sword, 19 and 
of pestilence. 

1 'Then came certain of the elders of Is'- 
ra-el unto me, and sat before me. 



Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land 
desolate; and thy city shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. (Jer. 
4:7.) Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a 
grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 
The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and 
till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye 
shall consider it perfectly. (Jer. 23:19, 20.) 
Chapter 13. 

a. Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my 
name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake 
unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a 
thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. (Jer. 14:14.) 

b. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have 
polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. (Zeph. 3:4.) 

c. Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses 
his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest 
he should destroy them (23). Then stood up Phinehas, and executed 
judgment: and so the plague was stayed. (Ps. 106:23, 30.) And I sought 
for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in 
the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I 
found none. (Ez. 22:30.) 

d. The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh 
well to his going. (Prov. 14:15.) And for this cause God shall send them 
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. (II Thess. 2:11.) 

e. And it came to pass on the .morrow, that Pashur brought forth 
Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord 
hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib. For thus saith 
the Lord, Behold, I will make thee a terror to ths'self, and to all thy 
friends: and they shall fall by the swora of their enemies, and thine 
eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king 
of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall 
slay them with the. sword. Moreover I will deliver all the strength of 
this city, and all the labors thereof, and all the precious things thereof, 
and all" the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of 



their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to 
Babylon. And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go 
into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt 
die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou 
hast prophesied lies. (Jer. 20:3-6.) Then said the prophet Jeremiah 
unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not 
sent thee; but thou ruakest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus 
saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: 
this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the 
Lord. (Jer. 28:15, 16.) 

f. And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, 
and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by geneal- 
ogy: and I found a register of the genealogy of them which come up at 
the first, and found written therein. (Neh. 7:5.) Let them be blotted 
out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. (Ps. 
69:28.) 

g. And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that 
transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where 
they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye 
shall know that I am the Lord. (Ez. 20:38.) 

h. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and 
I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people 
that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and 
brimstone. (Ez. 38:22.) 

i. To have respect of persons is not good; for, for a piece of bread 
that man will transgress. (Prov.- £8:21.) 

j. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: 
they commit adultery, and walk in lies; they strengthen also the hands 
of evil-doers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all 
of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 
(Jer. 23:14.) But ye turned, and polluted my name, and caused every 
man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at 
liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, 
to be unto you for servants and for handmaids. (Jer. 34:16.)

EZEKIEL 



B. C. 594 



2 And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying. 

3 Son of man, these men have set up their 
idols in their heart, and put c the -stumbling- 
block of their iniquity before their face: 
^should I be enquired of at all by them? 

4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man 
of the house of Is'ra-el that 'setteth up his 
idols in his heart, and putteth the Stumbling- 
block of his iniquity before his face, and com- 
eth to the prophet: I the Lord will answer 
him that cometh according d to the '^multitude 
of his idols; 

5 That I may take the house of Is'ra-el in 
their 'own heart, because they are all estranged 
from me through their idols. 

6 r ^Therefore say unto the house of is'ra-el. 
Thus saith the Lord God; ''Repent, and turn 
yourselves from your idols; and turn away 
your faces from all your abominations. 

7 For every one of the house of Is'ra-el, or 
of the stranger that sojourneth in Is'ra-el, 
which -"separateth himself from me, and setteth 
up his idols in his heart, and putteth the 
,7 stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, 
and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him 
concerning me; I the Lord 5 will answer him 
by myself: 

S And ; T will set my face against that man, 
and will make him a 5 sign and a proverb, and 
I -will cut him off from the midst of my people; 
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

9 And if the prophet be deceived when he 
hath spoken a thing, I the Lord 'have deceived 
that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand 
upon him, and wall destroy him from the midst 
of my people is'ra-el. 

10 And they shall bear the punishment of 
their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet 



2. Israel was stnmbling over idol- 
atry, falling into sin. 

3. Jehovah's punishment will be 
proportionate to their transgressions. 

4. In vs. 6-11 is given the law of 
Jehovah which controls even false 
prophets. 

5. Jehovah has been speaking to 
them through the prophet: if they do 
not repent he wiU answer them in 
person. 

6. The punishment of this unre 
pentent idolator shall be a sign before 
the world. (Xum. 26:10) — "And the 
earth opened her mouth and swallow- 
ed them up together with Korah. 
when that company died, what time 
the fire devoured 250 men: and they 
became a sign." 

7. The false prophet delivered a 
lie to the people: he who follows 
falsehood will lose the power to know 
the truth.' Jehovah's laws are so 
framed that man's sins and abomina- 
tions are the rod by which he is 
chastised. (Ez. 7:3) — "Now is the 
end come unon thee, and I will send 
mine anger upon thee and will judge 
thee according to thy ways and will 
recompense upon thee all thine abom- 
inations." 

S. That is. these punishments 
which are assumed to fall upon the 
people are reformatory, that the peo- 
ple may no more go astray. 

9. In vs. 12-21 is given the divine 
law governing the certainty of pun- 
ishment which shall fall upon evil- 
doing. 

10. Unfaithfulness. 

11. The three most righteous men. 
if present, could not save this idola- 
trous land. 

12. The land occupied by the wick- 
ed apostate people of Jehovah (Holy 
Land). 

13. Jehovah. God. 

14. Bereave. 

15. Because of the extreme wick- 
edness of the people and the many 
opportunities which Jehovah has given 
them, the day of deliverance is past 
and punishment cannot be averted. 



shall be even as the punishment of him that 
seeketh unto him; 

11 That the house of is'ra-el may go no 
more s astray from me, neither be polluted any 
more with all their transgressions; but that 
they may be my people, and I may be their 
God, saith the Lord God. 

12 T c 'The word of the Lord came again to 
me, saying, 

13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against 
me by trespassing "grievously, then will I 
stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break 
the -'staff of the bread thereof, and will send 
famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast 
from it: 

14 "Though these ''three men, No'ah, Dan'iel, 
and Job, were in 3Z it, they should deliver but 
their own souls by their righteousness, saith 
the Lord ls God. 

15 r If I cause 'noisome beasts to pass 
through the land, and they "spoil it, so that it 
be desolate, that no man may pass through be- 
cause of the beasts : 

16 Though these three "men were in it, as 
I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver 
'neither sons nor daughters; they only shall 
be "delivered, but the land shall be desolate. 

17 r Or if '"I bring a sword upon that land, 
and say, Sword, go through the land ; so that 
I "cut off man and beast from it: 

18 Though these three men were in it, as I 
live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver 
neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall 
be delivered themselves. 

19 If Or if I send °a pestilence into that land, 
and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut 
off from it man and beast: 

20 Though Noah, Dan'iel, and Job, were in 
it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall de- 
liver neither son nor daughter; they shall but 



Chapter 14. 

a. They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall 
be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver 
them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their 
souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingbloek of their 
iniquity. (Ez. 7:19.) I will consume man and beast; I will consume 
the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling- 
blocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith 
the Lord. (Zeph. 1:3.) 

b. And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with 
thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy 
mother". And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the Lord hath 
called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of 
Moab. (II Ks. 3:13.) The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to 
the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. (Prov. lo:8.) And 
when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, 
when "ye make many prayers, 1 will net hear: your hands are full of 
blood. " (Is. 1:15.) Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring 
evil upon them, which they shall not he able to escape; and though 
they shall cry unto me. I will not hearken unto them. (Jer. 11:11.) 

c. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshau, and Medan, and Midian, 
and Ishbak, and Shuah. (Gen. 25:2.) Thou shalt have none other gods 
before me. (Dt. 5:7.) Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in 
sincerity and in trutL: and put away the geds which your fathers served 
on the "other side of the flood, and in Egypt: and serve ye the Lord. 
(Josh. 24:14.) Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. (I 
Jno. 5:21.) 

d. And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? 
And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to 
work evil in the sight of the Lord. Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, 
and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that 
pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, And 
will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and 
like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation where- 
with thou hast provoked me to anger, and- made Israel to sin. And of 
Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the 
wall of Jezreel. Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat: 
and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. (I Ks. 
21:20-24.! 

e. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of 
unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, 
while it is called Today: lest any of you be hardened through the de- 
ceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the 
beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end: While it is said, To- 

: ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provo- 
cation. " For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all 

came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty 
years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in 
the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into 
his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not 
enter in because of unbelief. (Heb. 3:12-19.) 

f. Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one accord- 
his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from 

all your transgressions: so iniquity shall not be your ruin. (Ez. 18:30.) 
A;.] - r.ke unto all the bouse of Israel, saying, If ye do return 

unto 'be Lord with all vour hearts, then put away the strange gods and 



Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and 
serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philis- 
tines. (I Sam. 7:3.) But if ye turn unto me, and keep my command- 
ments, and do them, though there were of you cast out unto the utter- 
most part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will 
bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. 
(Neh. 1:9.) In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols 
of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles 
and to the hats. (Is. 2:20.) Te shall defile also the covering of thy 
graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of 
gold: thou shalt cast them awav as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say 
unto it, Get thee hence. (Is. 30:22.) 

g. And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the 
Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of 
gTeat kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:13,) No man can 
serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; 
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Te cannot serve 
God and mammon. (Mat. 6:24.) 

h. And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off 
from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, 
to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. (Lev. 20:3.) 

i. Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the 
mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil con- 
cerning thee. (I Ks. 22:23.) With him is strength and wisdom: the de- 
ceived and the deceiver are his. (Job 12:10.) And for this cause God 
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. (II 
Thess. 2:11.) 

j. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall 
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread 
again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. (Lev. 25:26.) 
For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusa- 
lem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whoie stay of bread, and 
the whole stay of water. (Is. 3:1.) 

k. Then said the Lord unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood 
before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out 
of my sight, and let them go forth. (Jer. 15:1.) 

1. And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they 
bit the people: and much people of Israel died. (Num. 21:6.) I will also 
send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and 
destroy vour cattle, and make rou few in number; and your highways 
shall be desolate. (Lev. 26:22.) 

m. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quar- 
rel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your 
cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be deliv- 
ered into the hand of the enemy. (Lev. 26:25.) 

n. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will also stretch out mine 
hand upon Edom. and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will 
make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 
(Ez. 25:13.) I will consume man and beast: I will consume the fowls of 
the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the 
wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord. (Zeph. 
1:3.) 

o. So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning 
even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even 
to Beersheba seventy thousand men. (II Sam. 24:15.) Now will I 
shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon

deliver their own souls by their "righteous- 
ness. 

21 For thus saith the Lord God; How much 
1T more when I send my four Psore judgments 
upon Je-ru'sa-lem, the sword, and the famine, 
and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to 
cut off from it man and beast? 

22 V s Yet, behold, therein shall be left a 
remnant "that shall be brought forth, both 
sons and daughters: behold, they shall come 
forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and 
their doings : and ye shall be comforted con- 
cerning the evil that I have brought upon Je- 
ru'sa-lem, even concerning all that I have 
brought upon it. 

23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see 
their ways and their doings: and ye shall 
know that I have not done ''without cause all 
that I have done in it, saith the Lord God. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 By the unfitness of the vine branch for any 
■work 6 is shewed the rejection of Jeru- 
salem. 

1 'And the word of the Lord came unto me. 
saying, 

2 Son of man, What is the "vine tree more 
than any tree, or than a branch which is 
among the trees of the forest? 

3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any 
work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any 
vessel thereon? 

4 Behold, ^it is cast into the fire for fuel; 
the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the 
midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any 
work? 

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet 
for no work: how much less shall it be meet 
yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured 
it, and it is burned? 

6 H Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As 
the vine tree among the trees of the forest, 
which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will 
I give the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7 And I will set my face against them; 
they c shall go out from "one fire, and another 
fire shall devour them; d and ye shall know 
that I am the Lord, when I set my face against 
them. 

8 And I will make the land desolate, because 
they have committed a trespass, saith the 
Lord God. 

CHAPTER 16. 

1 Under the similitude of a wretched infant is 
shewed the natural state of Jerusalem. 6 
God's love towards her. 44 Her sin calleth 
for judgments. 60 Mercy is promised her in 
the end. 
1 'Again the word of the Lord came unto me. 

saying, 



16. Persistent transgression has 
finally woven around itself such a 
strong net of guilt that righteousness 
cannot peuetrate it until Jehovah's 
letributive justice makes a breach 
in it. 

17. If transgression "which had 
brought upon itself only one judgment 
could not be averted., how much more 
impossible would it be to prevent the 
judgment upon a transgression which 
was so great as to merit all four of 
Jehovah's judgments, viz., the sword, 
wild beasts, famine, and pestilence. 

IS. In vs. 22, 23, the beneficent 
effects of the punishment prove its 
justice. 

19. The righteous few shall le 
preserved and they shall bring forth 
sons and daughters whose purity of 
life will prove the wisdom of the 
judgments. 

Ch. 15. E. C. 594. 

1. In this ch. Ez. uses the illustra- 
tion of the vine to chow the condi- 
tion of Jerusalem. Save for its fruits, 
the vine was utterly worthless as it 
could be used for nothing else, so 
likewise when the chosen people, the 
vine planted by Jehovah, has lost its 
fruits (its religion i it has become 
insignificant and without use or serv- 
ice to the world. 

2. Calamity. 

3. That is. the Jews were not only 
sinners like other nations, but, having 
been chosen by Jehovah, they were 
rebels and apostates. 

Ch. 16. B. C. 594. 

1. In this ch. is given a detailed 
application of the parabolical deline- 
ation of the vine in ch. 15 to Jerusa- 
lem, which is personified as a daugh- 
ter. 

2. The land in which Abraham. 
Isaac and Jacob sojourned before go- 
ing to Egypt and from which thou 
didst derive far more of thy innate 
characteristics than from the virtues 
of those thy progenitors. 

3. In the sense that Hittite and 
Amorite irreligious impurities greatly 
influenced Israel. 

i. To cleanse. (R. V.) 

5. In ancient times, throughout the 
East, it was the custom to rub new- 
born babes with salt as a visible 
covenant symbol of bringing the child 
into relationship with the tribe. 

6. Weltering. (R. V.) 

7. That is, in spite of thine un- 
cleanness. 

8. The eastern symbol of mar- 



9. The ripening of love. 

10. Jehovah's purification, making 
ready for the wedding. 

11. Rather a ring in thy nose. 

12. The marriage crown which is 
still used in Palestine. 

13. By embracing idolatry and 
transferring the affections from Jeha- 
vah, they were unfaithful to him, 
hence played the harlot. 



2 Son of man, cause Je-ru'sa-lem to know 
her abominations, 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto 
Je-ru'sa-lem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of 
the land of 2 Ca'naan; thy father was an 3 Am'- 
or-ite, and thy mother an 3 HIt'tite. 

4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou 
wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast 
thou washed in water to 'supple thee; thou 
wast not salted 5 at all, nor swaddled at all. 

5 None eye pitied thee,' to do any of these 
unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but 
thou wast cast out in the open field, to the 
lothing of thy person, in the day that thou 
wast born. 

6 If And when I passed by thee, and saw 
thee "polluted in thine own blood, I said unto 
thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, 1 
said unto thee when thou wast in thy f blood, 
Live. 

7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud 
of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen 
great, and thou art come to excellent orna- 
ments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine 
hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and 
bare. 

8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked 
upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of 
love;- "and I spread my skirt "over thee, and 
covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, 
and entered into a covenant with thee, saith 
the Lord God, and Hhou becamest "mine. 

9 Then washed "I thee with .water; yea, I 
throughly washed away thy blood from thee, 
and I anointed thee with oil. 

10 I "'clothed thee also with broidered work, 
and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded 
thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee 
with silk. 

11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I 
put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on 
thy neck. 

12 And I put a "jewel on thy forehead, and 
earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful "crown 
upon thine head. 

13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and 
silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and 
silk, and broidered work; '"thou didst eat fine 
flour, and honey, and oil : and thou wast ex- 
ceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into 
a kingdom. 

14 And thy renown went forth among the 
heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect 
through my comeliness, which I had put upon 
thee, saith the Lord God. 

15 % But ''thou ciidst trust in thine own 
beauty, c and playedst the "harlot because of 
thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications 
on every one that passed by; his it was. 

16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and 
deckedst thy high places with divers colours, 



thee; and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense 
thee for all thine abominations. (Ez. 7:8.) 

p. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye multiplied more 
than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my 
statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done accord- 
ing to the judgments of the nations that are round about you. (Ez. 
5:7.) 

q. And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say 
every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this 
great city? Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the, 
covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served 
them.- (Jer. 22:8, 9.) And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, 
and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said. Ah Lord 
God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of 
thy fury upon Jerusalem? (Ez. 9:8.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touch- 
ing his vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful 
hill. (Is. 5:1.) Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast 
out the heathen, and planted it. (Ps. 80:8.) Israel is an empty vine, 
he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his 
fruit he hath increased the altars;, according to the goodness of his land 
they have made goodly images. (Hos. 10:1.) 

b. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is 
withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they 
are burned. (Jno. 15:6.) But that which beareth thorns and briers is 
rejected and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. (Heb. 
6:8.) 

c. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of 



the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that corueth up out of the midst 
of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are 
open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. (Is. 24:18.) As if a 
man did flee from a lion, and a bear met. him; or went into the house, 
and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. (Amos 5:19.) 

d. And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but 
I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be 
in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. (Ez. 7:4.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine 
handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art 
a n-ear kinsman. (Ruth 3:9.) 

b. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all peo- 
ple: for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) Go and cry in the ears of 
Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I remember thee, the kindness 
of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me 
in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. (Jer. 2:2.) 

c. He made him ride, on the high places of the earth, that he might 
eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of 
the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock. (Dt. 32:13.) 

d. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou 
art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness: then he forsook God 
which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. (Dt. 
32:15.) Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, 
The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. (Jer. 7:4.) 

e. How is the' faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judg- 
ment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. (Is. 1:21.) For of 
old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst,

and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like 
things shall not come,, neither shall it be so. 

17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of 
my gold and of my silver, which I had given 
thee, and madest to thyself images of men, 
and didst commit whoredom with them, 

18 And tookedst thy broidered garments, and 
coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil 
and mine incense before them. 

19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine 
flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed 
thee, thou hast even set it before them for a 
sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord 
God. 

20 Moreover ''thou hast taken thy sons and 
thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me. 
and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be 
devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small 
matter, 

21 That thou hast slain -"my children, and 
delivered them to cause them to pass through 
the fire for them? 

22 And in all thine abominations and thy 
whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days 
of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, 
and wast polluted in thy blood. 

23 And it came to pass after all thy wicked- 
ness, (woe. woe unto thee! saith the Lord 
God;) 

24 That thou hast also built unto thee an 
eminent place, and hast made thee an high 
place in every street. 

25 Thou hast built thy high place at every 
head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to 
be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to eveiy 
one that passed by, and multiplied thy whore- 
doms. 

26 Thou hast also committed fornication 
with the E-gyp'tians thy neighbours, great of 
flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to 
provoke me to anger. 

27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my 
hand over thee, and have diminished thine 
ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will 
of them that hate thee, the daughters of the 
Phi-lis'tines, which are ashamed of thy lewd 
way. 

28 Thou ''hast played the whore also with 
the As'syr'i-ans, because thou wast insatiable; 
yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, 
and yet couldest not be satisfied. 

29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy for- 
nication in the land of Ca'naan unto Chal- 
de'a; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. 

30 How weak "is thine heart, saith the Lord 
God, seeing thou doest all these things, the 
work of an imperious whorish woman; 

31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place 
in the head of every way, and makest thine 
high place in every street; and hast not been 
as an harlot, in that thou scomest hire;

32 But as a wife that comitteth adultery, 
which taketh strangers instead of her husband! 

33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou 
givest thy gifts to, all thy lovers, and hirest 
them, that they may come unto thee on every 
side for thy whoredom. 

34 And the contrary is in thee from other 
women in thy whoredoms, whereas none fol- 
loweth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that 
thou givest a reward, and no reward is given 
unto thee, therefore thou art contrary. 

35 f Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of 
the Lord: 

36 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy 
filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness 
discovered through thy whoredoms with thy 
lovers, and with all the idols of thy abomina- 
tions, and by the blood of thy children, which 
thou didst give unto them; 

37 Behold, therefore 'T will gather all thy 
lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, 
and all them that thou hast loved, with all 
them that thou hast hated; I will even gather 
them round about against thee, and will dis- 
cover thy nakedness unto them, that they may 
see all thy nakedness. 

38 And I will judge thee, as women that 
break wedlock and -'shed blood are judged; 
and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. 

39 And I will also give thee into their 
"hand, and they shall throw down thine em- 
inent place, and shall break down thy high 
places: they ''shall strip thee also of thy 
clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and 
leave thee naked and bare. 

40 They shall also bring up a company 
against thee, and they shall stone thee with 
stones, and thrust thee through with their 
swords. 

41 And they shall burn thine houses with 
fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the 
sight of many women : and I will cause thee 
to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also 
shalt give no hire any more. 

42 So will I 'make my fury toward thee to 
rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, 
and I will be quiet, and will be '"no more 
angry. 

43 Because ir thou hast not remembered the 
days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all 
these things; behold, therefore I also will rec- 
ompense thy way upon thine head, saith the 
Lord God: and thou shalt not commit this 
^lewdness above all thine abominations. 

44 If '"Behold, every one that useth proverbs 
shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As 
is the mother, so is her daughter. 

45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that 
lotheth her husband and her children; and 
thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed 



I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green 
tree thou wanderest. playing the harlot. (Jer. 2:2o.) 

f. But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea. and made 
his son to pass through the fire, according to the ahominations of the 
heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel. (II 
Ks. 16:3.) 

g. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy 
seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a 
God unto thee., and to thy seed after thee (7). And ye shall circumcise 
the flesh of your foreskin: and it shall be a token of the covenant be- 
twixt me and you. (Gen. 17:7, 11.) Sanctify unto me all the first-born, 
whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man 
and of beast: it is mine. (Ex. 13:2.) 

h. And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink 
the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to 
drink the waters of the river? (Jer. 2:1S. 1 When Ephraim saw his sick- 
ness, and .ludah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, 
and sent to king .(areb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your 
wound. (Hos. 5:13.) 

i. And if thou say in thine heart. Wherefore come these things upon 
me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and 
thy heels made bare. (Jer. 13:22.) Jerusalem bath grievously sinned; 
therefore she is removed: all that honored her despise her, because 
they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sisheth. 3rd turneth backward. 
fLa'm 1:<U Behold. I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I 
will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy 
nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. (Nah. 3:5.)- 

j. \\ Ideth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for 



in the image of God made he man. (Gen. 9:6.) He that smiteth a man 
so that he die, shall be surely put to death. (Ex. 21:12.) 

k. They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy 
fair jewels. (Ez. 23:26.) Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the 
day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like 
a dry land, and slay her with thirst. (Hos. 2:3.) 

1. Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury 
to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that 
I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my 
fury in them. (Ez. 5:13.) Tour kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver 
my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand 
to be hunted: and ye shall know that I am the Lord (21). Likewise, thou 
son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which 
prophesy out of their own heart: and prophesy thou against them. (Ez. 
13:21. 17.) And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered 
burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was entreated for the 
land, and the plague was stayed from Israel. (II Sam. 21:25.) Then 
cried he upon me. and spake unto me. saying. Behold, these that go 
toward the north country have quieted mv spirit in the north country. 
(Zcch. fi:8.) 

m. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have 
poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lcrd God. (Ez. 
29.) Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye 
comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is ac- 
complished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the 
Lord's hand double for all her sins. (Is. 40:1, 2.) For as I have sworn 
that the waters of Xop.h should no more go over the earth: so have I 
sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the

their husbands and their children : your mother 
was an HIt'tite, and your father an Am'or-ite. 

46 And thine elder sister is Sa-maii-a, she 
and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: 
and "thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy 
right hand, is Sod'om and her "daughters. 

47 Yet hast thou not walked after their 
ways, nor done after their abominations: but, 
as if that were a very little thing, thou wast 
corrupted more than they in all thy ways. 

48 As I live, saith the Lord God, Sod'om 
°thy sister hath not done, she nor her daugh- 
ters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daugh- 
ters. 

49 Behold, "this was the iniquity of thy 
sister Sod'om, pride, ^fulness of bread, and 
abundance of idleness was in her daughters, 
neither did she strengthen the hand of the 
poor and needy. 

50 And they were haughty, and committed 
abomination before me : therefore ^1 took" them 
aw r ay as I saw good. 

51 Neither hath Sa-ma'ri-a committed half 
of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine 
abominations more than they, and hast justi- 
fied thy sisters in all thine abominations which 
thou hast done. 

52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, 
bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou 
hast committed more abominable than they: 
they are more righteous than thou : yea, be 
thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in 
that thou hast justified thy sisters. 

53 When I shall bring again their captivity, 
r the captivity of Sod'om and her daughters, 
and the captivity of Sa-ma'ri-a and her daugh- 
ters, then will I bring again the captivity of 
thy captives in the midst of them: 

54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, 
and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast 
done, in that thou art a comfort unto them. 

55 When thy sisters, Sod'om and her daugh- 
ters, shall return to their former estate, and 
Sa-ma'ri-a and her daughters shall return to 
their former estate, then thou and thy daugh- 
ters shall return to your former estate. 

56 For thy sister Sod'om was not mentioned 
by thy mouth in the day of thy pride. 

57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, 
as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters 
of Syr'i-a, and all that are round about her, 
the daughters of the Phi-lis'tmes, which de- 
spise thee round about. 

58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine 
abominations, saith the Lord. 

59 For thus saith the Lord God; I will even 
deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast 
despised the oath in breaking the covenant. 

60 1 ^Nevertheless I will -'remember my cov- 
enant with thee in the days of thy youth, and 
I will establish unto thee f an everlasting "cov- 
enant.

thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: 

63 That thou mayest remember, and be con- 
founded, and never open thy mouth any more 
because of thy shame, when I am pacified to- 
ward thee for all that thou hast done, saith 
the Lord God. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 Under the parable of two eagles and a vine, 
11 is shewed God's judgment upon Jerusalem 
for revolting from Babylon to Egypt. 

1 \A.nd the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, put forth a 2 riddle, and speak 
a 2 parable unto the house of Is'ra-el; 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; A 
great 3 eagle with great wings, longwinged, full 
of feathers, which had divers colours, came 
unto Leb'a-non, and took the highest "branch 
of the cedar: 

4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, 
and carried it into a land of traffick; he set 
it in a city of 5 merchants. 

5 He took also of the seed of the land, and 
planted it in °a fruitful field; he placed it by 
great waters, and set it as a willow tree. 

6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine 
of low stature, whose branches turned toward 
him, and the roots thereof were under him: so 
it became a vine, and brought forth branches, 
and shot forth sprigs. 

7 There was also another G great eagle with 
great wings and many feathers: and, behold, 
this vine did 7 bend her roots toward him, and 
shot forth her branches toward him, that he 
might water it by the furrows of her planta- 
tion. 

8 It was planted in a good soil by great 
waters, that it might bring forth branches, 
and that it might bear fruit, that it might 
be a goodly vine. 

9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God; Shall 
it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots 
thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it 
wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her 
spring, even without great power or many peo- 
ple to pluck it up by the roots thereof. 

10 Yea, behold, being. planted, shall it pros- 
per? shall it not utterly wither, when the east 
wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the fur- 
rows where it grew. 

11 If s Moreover the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

12 Say now to 6 the rebellious house, Know 
ye not what these things mean? tell them, Be- 
hold, the king of Bab'y-lon is come to Je-ru'sa- 



mountains shall depart, and the hills he removed; hut my kindness shall 
not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be re- 
moved, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. (Is. 54:9, 10.) 

n. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Go- 
morrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter. (Dt. 
32:32.) Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto 
the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. (Is. 1:10.) 

0. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of 
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. (Mat. 
10:15.) And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shall be 
brought dow T n to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done 
in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this 
day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land 
of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. (Mat. 11:23, 24.) 

p. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the pla'in of Jordan, 
that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom 
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, 
as thou comest unto Zoar. (Gen. 13:10.) 

q. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim- 
stone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. (Gen. 19:24.) He shall be 
driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. (Job 
18:18.) 

r. And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and 
repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shout- 
ing at noon-tide. (Jer. 20:16.) 

s. And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented accord- 
ing to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) And I will give her her 



vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and 
she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day 
when she came up out of the land of Egypt. (Hos. 2:15.) 

t. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will 
not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in 
their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. (Jer. 32:40.) 

u. Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into sing- 
ing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are 
the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith 
the Lord. (Is. 54:1.) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they 
gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from 
far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 1 (Is. 60:4.) But Je- 
rusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. (Gal. 
4:26.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land; a land of 
brooks of water, of fountains, and depths that spring out of valleys and 
hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pome- 
granates; a land of oil olive and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat 
bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land 
whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig grass. 
(Dt. 8:7-9.) 

b. And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, 
(for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a 
prophet among them. (Ez. 2:5.) Son of man, hath not the house of 
Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee. What doest thou? (Ez. 
12:9.)

lem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the 
princes thereof, and led them with him to 
Bab'y-lon ; 

13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and 
made a covenant with him, and hath taken an 
oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of 
the land: 

14 That the kingdom might be base, that it 
might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of 
his covenant it might stand. 

15 But he rebelled against him in sending 
his ambassadors into E'gypt, that they might 
give him horses and much people. Shall he 
prosper? shall he escape that doeth such 
things? or shall he break the covenant, and be 
delivered? 

16 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in 
the place where the king dwelleth that made 
him king, whose oath he despised, and whose 
covenant he brake, even with him in the midst 
of ''Bab'y-lon he shall die. 

17 Neither c shall Pha'raSh with his mighty 
army and great company 10 make for him in 
the war, by casting up mounts, and building 
forts, to cut off many persons: 

• 18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking 
the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, 
and hath done all these things, he shall not 
escape. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As I 
live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, 
and my covenant that he hath broken, even it 
will I recompense upon his own head. 

20 And I will spread my net upon him, and 
he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring 
him to Bab'y-lon, and ''will plead with him 
there for his "trespass that he hath trespassed 
against me. 

21 And e all his "fugitives with all his bands 
shall fall by the sword, and they that remain 
shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye 
shall know that I the Lord have spoken it. 

22 H Thus saith the Lord God; I will also 
take of the "highest f branch of the high cedar, 
and will set it; I will crop off from the top of 
his young tivigs a tender one, and will plant it 
upon an high mountain and eminent: 

23 In the mountain of the height of Is'ra-el 
will I u plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, 
and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and 
under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in 
the shadow of the branches thereof shall they 
dwell. 

24 And all the trees of the "field shall know

worst form of evil, which he had

10. Old English for help him. The 
assistance of Egypt shall be in vain. 

11. His unfaithfulness. 

12. His chosen soldiers who ac- 
company him in his flight. 

13. Jehovah will do better than the 
heathen kings; they attempted to 
pluck the highest branch (v. 3), but 
he will likewise take of the highest 
branch and plant the house of David 
to whom the kingdom belongs by an 
everlasting covenant, and it shall be 
the shelter of the whole world, and 
shall be forever the Messiah's king- 
dom. 

14. Zion; destined to be the moral 
center and eminence of grace and 
glory of the world, out topping all 
mundane elevation. The kingdom typ- 
ically began with the return from 
Babylon and rebuilding of the temple; 
fully began with Christ's appearance, 
and shall have its highest manifes- 
tations at his reappearing to reign 
in Zion and thence over the whole 
earth. (J. F. B.) 

15. That is, all the nations shall 
know Jehovah by the exaltation of 
his people and punishment of the 
proud and strong. (Luke 1:51-53.)

In it Ez. hopes to show his coun- 
try their sins and win them back 
to Jehovah by teaching them the 
justice of the divine plan. The key- 
note of the ch. is. "The soul that sin- 
neth, it shall die," or, in other words, 
each individual is personally respon- 
sible for his own acts. 

2. This was the claim made by the 
people as the excuse because of which 
they hoped to escape the result of 
their sins. The prophet replies in 
substance, it is true it has come be- 
cause of sin, but because of your own 
sin. 

3. That is, their own sin shall be 
made so plain they will see they have 
no occasion to make such a state- 
ment. 

4. The keynote of the ch., see v. 
20. 

5. Ez. 's definition for a just man 
is, one who is faithful to God and obe- 
dient to his law, honest, merciful, 
generous and true-hearted. Mic. 6:8 
defines the just man as one who must 
"do justly, love mercy, and walk 
humbly before God." 

6. Robbery, either in violation of 
law or by taking advantage of his un- 
fortunate brothers. 

7. The law prohibited any Hebrew 
from charging another Hebrew inter- 
est. 

8. He who truly obeys the com- 
mandments of God must have an in- 
ner spirit of righteousness and is 
therefore just. 

9. In vs. 10-13 the prophet de- 



that I the Lord shave brought down the high 
tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up 
the green tree, and have made the dry tree to 
flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have 
done it. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 God reproveth the unjust parable of sour 

grapes. 25 He defendeth his justice, 31 ex- 

horteth to repentance. 

1 ] The word of the Lord came unto me 
again, saying, 

2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb 
concerning the land of Is'ra-el, saying, "The 
fathers have eaten sour "grapes, and the chil- 
dren's 2 teeth are set on edge? 

3 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not 
have Occasion any more to use this proverb 
in Is'ra-el. 

4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of 
the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: 
''the soul that "'sinneth, it shall die. 

5 If But if a man be 5 just, and do that which 
is lawful and right, 

6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, 
neither hath lifted c up his eyes to the idols 
of the house of Is'ra-el, neither hath defiled 
''his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near 
to a e menstruous woman, 

7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath re- 
stored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled 
none by Violence, hath /given his bread to the 
hungry, and hath covered the naked with a 
garment ; 

8 He that hath not given -''forth upon 'usury, 
neither hath taken any increase, that hath 
withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath exe- 
cuted ''true judgment between man and man, 

9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath 
kept 'my judgments, to deal truly; he is "just, 
he shall surely live, saith the Lord God. 

10 If "If he beget a son that is a lu robber, a 
shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to 
any one of these things, 

11 And that doeth not any of "those duties, 
but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and 
''defiled his neighbour's wife, 

12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath 
spoiled by violence, hath not restored the 
pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the 
idols, hath committed abomination, 

13 Hath given "forth upon usury, and hath 
taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not 
live: he hath done all these abominations; he 
shall surely "die; his "blood shall be upon him. 



dares the wicked son of a righteous 
father shall not escape the punish- 
ment of his sins. 



10. A doer of violence. 

11. The same as "these things," 
leaning the qualities of a just man. 



12. The legal sentence expressed 
in Ex. 21:15, 22-18, and Lev. 20:11. 

13. That is, he is responsible for 



his own death because the judgments 
he would put upon others came upon 
himself. 



c. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the 
king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of. me; Behold, Pha- 
raoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shail return to Egypt 
into their own land. (Jer. 37:7.) 

d. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the 
land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God. (Ez. 20:36.) 

e. And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to 
help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them. 
(Ez. 12:14.) 

f. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a 
Branch shall grow out of his roots. (Is. 11:1.) Behold, the days come, 
saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a 
King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in 
the earth. (Jer. 28:5.) 

g. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them 
of low degree. (Luke 1:52.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their 
iniquities. (Lam. 5:7.) 

b. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 6:23.) But of the tree of the 
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that 
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Gen. 2:17.) For God so loved 
the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth 
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (Jno. 3:16.) 

C. Because they had not executed my judgments, but, had. despised 
my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after 
their fathers' idols. (Ez. 20:24.) Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your 
Idol: . and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? (Ez. 33:25.) And 
lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, 
;mrl the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be 
driven to worship them, and ssrve them, which tbe Lord thy God hath 
divid'd unto all nations under the whole heaven. (Dt. 4:19.) 



d. Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whore- 
mongers and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) Know ye not that 
the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not de- 
ceived: neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, 
nor abusers of themselves with mankind. (I Cor. 6:9.). 

e. The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daugh- 
ter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even 
their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. (Lev. 18:9.) 

f. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring 
the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, 
that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own 
flesh? (Is. 58:7.) For I was an hungered, and ye gav; me meat: I was 
thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in. 
(Mat. 25:35.) 

g. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that 
thy brother may live with thee. (Lev. 25:36.) He that putteth not out 
his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that 
doeth these things shall never be moved. (Ps. 15:5.) If thou lend money 
to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an 
usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. (Ex. 22:25.) 

h. Before, the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth: with right- 
eousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. (Ps. 
98:9'.) Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judg- 
ment. (Jno. 7:24.) He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways 
are judgment: a God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is he. 
(Dt. 32:4.) Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my 
righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye-sight. With the 
merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou 
wilt show thyself upright. With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure, 
and with the froward thou wilt show thyself unsavory. (II Sam. 22:25-27.) 

i. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: 1 am 
the Lord. (Lev. 22:31.) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart 
keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) But it shall come to pass, if 
thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe

14 If "Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth 
all his lather's sins which he hath done, and 
i: 'considereth, and doeth not such like,

the house of Is'ra-el, hath not defiled his

17 That hath taken off his hand from the 
poor, that hath not received usury nor in-

the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. 

18 As for his father, because he cruelly op-

did that which is not good among his people, 
lo, even ■'he shall die in his iniquity. 

19 If "Yet, say ye, Why? doth not the son

not that he should return from his ways, and

stated the divine principles of gov- 
ernment. 



22. In II Pet. 3:9 we read. "The 
Lord is not slack concerning his

is long-suffering to us-ward, not will- 
ing that any should perish, but that 
all should come to repentance."

his righteousness that he hath done shall not 
a 'be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath 
trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, 
in them shall he die. 

25 If Yet ye say, 'The way of the Lord is 
not 21 equal. Hear now, O house of is'ra-el; Is 
not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 

26 When a righteous man turneth J'away 
from his righteousness, and committeth iniqui- 
ty, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he 
hath done shall he die. 

27 Again, when the wicked man turneth 
s away from his wickedness that he hath com- 
mitted, and doeth that which is lawful and 
right, he shall save his soul alive. 

28 Because he considereth, and turneth 
away from all his transgressions that he hath 
committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 

29 Yet saith the house of Is'ra-el, The way 
of the Lord is not equal. O house of Is'ra-el, 
are not my ways equal? are not your ways 
unequal? 

30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of 
is'ra-el, every one according to his ways, saith 
the Lord God. 'Repent, and turn yourselves 
from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall 
not be your ruin. 

31 1 Cast away from you all your transgres- 
sions, whereby ye have transgressed; and 
make you a new heart and a new spirit: for 
why will ye die, O house of Is'ra-el? 

32 For I have no "pleasure in the death of 
him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore 
turn yourselves, and live ye. 

CHAPTER 19. 

1 A lamentation for the princes of Israel, un- 
der the parable of lion's whelps taken in a 
pit, 10 and for Jerusalem, under the jiara- 
ble of z wasted vine. 

1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for 
the princes of Is'ra-el, 

2 And say, What is thy 2 mother?. A lioness: 
she lay down among lions, she nourished her 
whelps among your lions. 

3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it 
became a young 3 lion, and it learned to catch 
the prey; it devoured men. 



to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee 
this dav, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. 
(Dt. 28:15.) 

j. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou giv- 
est him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked 
way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; 
but his blood will I require at thine hand. (Ez. 3:18.) 

k. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither 
shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be 
put to death for his own sin. (Dt. 24:16.) But every one shall die for 
his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall 
be set on edge. (Jer. 31:30.) 

1. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they 
shall eat the fruit of their doings. (Is. 3:10.) Then hear thou in heaven, 
and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his 
way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according 
to his righteousness. (I Ks. 8:32.) For the Son of man shall come in 
the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every 
man according to his works. (Mat. 16:27.) Who will render to every 
man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in 
well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; But 
unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey 
unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon 
every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gen- 
tile. (Rom. 2:6-9.) 

m. Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, 
The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of 
his transgression: as for the wickedness of the v/icked, he shall not fall 
thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall 
the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sin- 
neth. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is 
lawful and right, he shall live therehy. (Ez. 33:12, 19.) See vs. 27, 28. 

n. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto 
him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 
(Ez. 33:16.) I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for 
mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.. (Is. 43:25.) In those 
days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be 
sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they 
shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve. (Jer. 50:20.) 
He will turn again, be will have compassion upon us; he will subdue 
our iniquities: and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the 
sea. (Mic. 7.19.) 

o. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count 
slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should 
perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Pet. 3 :9- 1 For he 



doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. (Lam. 3:33.) 
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? 
how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? Mine 
heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together. (Hos. 
11:8.) 

p. When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and commit- 
teth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. (Ez. 33:18.) It repenteth me 
that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from follow- 
ing me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved 
Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night. (I Sam. 15:11.) And 
Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of 
Jehoiada the priest (2). Now after the death of Jehoiada came the 
princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king: then the king heark- 
ened unto them. And they left the house of the Lord God of their 
fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and 
Jerusalem for this their trespass. Yet he sent prophets to them, to 
bring them again unto the Lord; and they testified against them: but they 
would not give ear. And the Spirit of God came upon Zeehariah the son . 
of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, 
Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that 
ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also for- 
saken you. And they conspired against him, and stoned him with 
stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of 
the Lord. Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Je- 
hoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, 
he said, The Lord look upon it, and require it. (II Chr. 21:2, 17-22.) 

q. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my 
soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Heb. 10:38.) For if, after they 
have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge oi Uie 
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and 
overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. (II 
Pet. 2:20.) 

r. Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that 
we have kept bis ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully he- 
fore the Lord of hosts? (Mai. 3:14.) 

s. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: Though 
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they 
be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Is. 1:18.) Let the wicked 
forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him 
return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our 
God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Is. 55:7.) 

t. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
(Mat. 3:2.) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and 
repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and 
will remove thy candlestick cut of his place, except thou repent. iRev. 
2:5.)

4 The nations also heard of him; he was 
taken in their pit, and they brought him with 
^chains unto the land of '-'Egypt. 

5 Now when she saw that she had waited, 
and her hope was lost, then she took 5 another 
of her whelps, and made him a young lion. 

6 And he went up and down among the 
lions, he "became a young lion, and learned to 
catch the 'prey, and devoured men. 

7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and 
he laid waste their cities; and the land was 
desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise 
of his roaring. 

8 Then ^the 'nations set against him on 
every side from the provinces, and spread their 
net over him: he was taken in their pit. 

9 And they put him in ward in chains, and 
brought him to the king of Bab'y-lon: they 
brought him into holds, that his voice should 
no more be heard upon -the mountains of Is'- 
ra-el. 

10 r Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, 
planted by the waters: she was fruitful and 
full of branches by reason of many waters. 

11 And she had strong s rods for the sceptres 
of them that bare rule, and her stature was 
exalted among the thick branches, and she ap- 
peared in her height with the multitude of her 
branches. 

12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was 
cast down to the ground, and the" 5 east wind 
dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken 
and withered; the fire consumed them. 

13 And now she is planted e in the wilder- 
ness, in a dry and thirsty ground. 

14 And fire r 'is gone out of a rod of her 
branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so 
that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to 
rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for 
a lamentation.

4 Wilt thou 4 judge them, son of man, wilt 
thou judge them? 'cause them to know the 
abominations of their fathers: 

•5 r "And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; In the day "when I chose Is'ra-el, and 
lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house 
of Jacob, and made myself d known unto them 
in the land of E'gypt, when I lifted up mine 
hand unto them, saying, I am the Lord your 
God; 

6 In the day that I lifted up mine hand 
unto them, to bring them forth of the land of 
E'gypt into a land that I had espied for them, 
flowing with milk and honey, which is the 
glory of all lands: 

7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every 
man the abominations of his eyes, and defile 
T not yourselves with the idols of E'gypt: I am 
the Lord your God. 

8 But they rebelled against me, and would 
not hearken unto me: they did not every man 
cast away the abominations of their eyes, 
neither did they forsake the idols of E'gypt: 
then I "said, I will pour out my fury upon 
them, to accomplish my anger against them 
in the midst of the land of E'gypt. 

9 But I wrought for iny name's sake, that 
it should not be polluted before the heathen, 
among whom they were, in whose sight I 
made myself known unto them, in bringing 
them forth out of the land of E'gypt. 

10 r Wherefore I _caused them to go forth 
out of the land of E'gypt, and brought them 
into the wilderness. 

11 And n gave them my statutes, and 
shewed them my judgments, which #if a man 
do, he shall "even live in them. 

12 Moreover also I gave them rny "sabbaths, 
7, to be a sign between me and them, that they 
might know that I am the Lord that sanctify 
them. 

13 But the house of Is'ra-el rebelled against 
me in the wilderness : they walked not in my 
statutes, and they despised my judgments, 
which if a man do, he shall even live in them; 
and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then 
I said, I would pour out my fury upon them 
in the wilderness, to consume them. 

14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that 
it should not be polluted before the heathen, 
in whose sight I brought them out. 

15 Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them 
in the wilderness, that I would not bring them 
into the land which I had given them, flowing 
with milk and honey, which is the glory of 
all lands; 

16 Because they despised my judgments, and 



Chapter -10. 

a. And Pharaoh-neehoh put him in bands at Riblah, in the land of 
Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a 
tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. (II Ks. 
23: S3.) 

b. And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands 
of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of 
Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the 
word of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the prophets. (II Ks. 
24:2.) 

c. And say. Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; 
Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers. 
and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I 
will destroy your high places. {Ez. 6:3.) 

d. Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall 
come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness, and his 
spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: and he shall 
spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. (Hos. 13:15.) 

e. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, which the Lord shall 
send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in 
want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until 
he have destroyed thee. (Dt. 28:48.) 

f. And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me 
king over you, then ccmc and put your trust in my shadow; and if 
not. let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

Chapter 20. 

a. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask coun- 
sel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word 
shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all 
the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. (Num. 
2T:21.i Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the chil- 
dren of Israel asked the Lord, saying. Who shall go up for us against 
the Canaauites first, to fight against them? (.Jud. 1:1.) Aud when Saul 



enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not. neither by dreams, 
nor by Urim, nor by prophets. (I Sam. 28:6.) I will instruct thee and 
teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine 
eye. (Ps. 32:8.) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that 
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given 
him. (Js. 1:5.) 

b. And I will set my face against that man and will make him a 
sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; 
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. (Ez. 14 :S.) 

e. Pill ye up then a measure of your fathers. (Mat. 23:32.) 

d. And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had 
visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their af- 
fliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. (Ex. 4:31.) 

e. And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the 
prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all 
the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had 
taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the Lord that was 
before the porch of the Lord. (II Chr. 15:S.) 

f. And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judg- 
ments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? (Dt. 
1:8.) 

g. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which 
if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord. (Lev. 18:5.) For 
Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law-, That the man 
which doeth those things shall live by them. (Rom. 10:5.) And the law 
is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. (Gal. 
3:12.) 

h. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 2u:S.) Speak 
thou also unto the children of Israel, saying. Verily my sabbaths ye shall 
keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations: 
that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. (Ex. 
31:13.) And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and com- 
mandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy 
servant. (Xeh. 9:14. i

walked not in my statutes, but polluted my 
sabbaths: for 'their heart went after their 
idols. 

17 "Nevertheless 'mine eye spared them 
from destroying them, neither did I make an 
end of them in the wilderness. 

18 But I said unto their children in the 
wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of 
your fathers, neither observe their judgments, 
nor defile yourselves with their idols : 

19 I am the Lord your God; /: walk in my 
statutes, and keep my judgments, and do 
them ; 

20 And 'hallow my sabbaths; and they shall 
be a sign between me and you, that ye may 
know that I am the Lord your God. 

21 Notwithstanding the "'children rebelled 
against me: they walked not in my statutes, 
neither kept my judgments to do them, which 
if a man do, he shall even live in them; they 
polluted my sabbaths : then I said, I would 
pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish 
my anger against them in the wilderness. 

22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and 
wrought for my name's sake, that it should not 
be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in 
whose sight I brought them forth. 

23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in 
the wilderness, that I would "scatter '"them 
among the heathen, and disperse them through 
the countries; 

24 Because they had not executed my judg- 
ments, but had despised my statutes, and had 
polluted my sabbaths, and "their eyes were 
after their fathers' idols. 

25 Wherefore °I gave them also statutes 
that were "not good, and judgments whereby 
they should not live; 

26 And I "polluted them in their own gifts, 
in that they caused to pass through the fire all 
that openeth the womb, that I might make 
them desolate, to the end that they might 
"know that I am the Lord. 

27 II Therefore, son of man, speak unto the 
house of is'ra-el, and say unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God; Yet in this your fathers 
have "blasphemed 1'rae, in that they have com- 
mitted a "trespass against me. 

28 For when I had brought them into the 
land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to 
give it to them, then they saw every high hill, 
and all the thick trees, and they offered there 
their sacrifices, and there they presented the 
provocation of their offering: there also they 
made their sweet savour, and poured out there 
their drink offerings 



11. It should bo observed hero that 
Ez. not only understood the Hebrew 
history, but also placed the same in- 
terpretation upon it that the ortho- 
dox church has ever done. 

12. Even the children sinned as 
their fathers, though it was in the 
face of all Jehovah had done. 

13. Here Jehovah changes their 
punishment from annihilation to cap- 
tivity. 

11. That is, they would not follow 
the statutes of God, so he allowed 
them to follow their own for a sea- 
son, which was not good for them. 

15. That is, gave them up to their 
own desires when they polluted them- 
selves, a just retribution for their 
polluting the Sabbath. 

16. That is. they refused to know 
God as a gracious and merciful Fa- 
ther, hence, through a just retribu- 
tion for their sins, they were com- 
pelled to know him as a great and 
powerful judge. 

17. That is. insulted Jehovah. 
Many were guilty of idolatrous wor- 
ship and the others offered their sac- 
rifices in forbidden places called the 
high places, which were the places 
where sacrifices were offered to idols. 

18. Unfaithfulness. This verse 
would indicate that the most fearful 
blasphemy or sin was not in words 
alone, but also in irreverence and in- 
difference. (Num. 15:30) — "The soul 
that doeth ought presumptuously, 
whether he be bcrn in the land or a 
stranger, the same reproacheth the 
Lord; and that soul shall be cut off 
from among his people." 

10. In vs. 30-41 the prophet de- 
clares that though the sons followed 
the examples of their fathers, yet 
Jehovah shall display his power. 
goodness and mercy, aud his name 
will yet be glorified. 

20. That is. those who were 
steeped in pollution were not quali- 
fied or competent to understand Je- 
hovah's wisdom. 

21. For IS centuries the Jews have 
remained dispersed among all nations 
without a home, but still a distinctive 
people a constant living witness to 
the truth of the prophecy here given 
by Ez. 

•22. That is, in spite of their exist- 
enee, Jehovah would assert his rights 
over them and not allow them to be 
taken from him because of his cove- 
nant. 

23. Not to destroy but to restore 
them. 

. 24. As the shepherd makes his 
flock pass under the rod, in counting 
them, so Jehovah will count every 
Israelite. 

23. According to Dr. Skinner, the 
Syriac reads. "But as for you. O 
house of Israel, if ye will not hearken 
unto me. go serve every man his 
idols. Yet hereafter ye shall no 
more proclaim my holy name.'' 

26. Zion or Moriah, which stands 
pre-eminent above all mountains lie- 
cause of the manifested presence of 
God there with Israel. 

27. The best they can give. 



29 Then I said unto them, What is the high 
place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof 
is called Ba'mah unto this day. 

30 "Wherefore say unto the house of Is'- 
ra-el, Thus saith the Lord God; Are ye pol- 
luted after the manner of your fathers? and 
commit ye whoredom after their abominations? 

31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye 
make your sons to pass through the fire, ye 
pollute yourselves with all your idols, even 
unto this day: and ^shall I be enquired of by 
you, O house of Is'ra-el? As I live, saith the 
Lord God, I will not be ""enquired of by you. 

32 And that which cometh into your mind 
shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as 
the 21 heathen, as the families of the countries, 
to serve wood and stone. 

33 11 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely 
with a mighty "hand, and with a stretched out 
arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule 
over you: 

34 And I will bring you out from the people, 
and will gather you out of the countries 
wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, 
and with a stretched out arm, and with ^fr-ry 
poured out. 

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness 
of the people, and there will 'I plead with you 
face to face. 

36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in 
the wilderness of the land of E'gypt, so will I 
plead with you, saith the Lord God. 

37 And I will cause you to pass under the 
-'rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the 
covenant: 

38 And I s will purge out from among you 
the rebels, and them, that transgress against 
me: I will bring them forth out of the coun- 
try where they sojourn, and they shall not 
enter into the land of Is'ra-el: and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

39 As for you, O house of is'ra-el, thus 
saith the Lord God; Go ye, serve ye every one 
his idols, and hereafter "'also, if ye will not 
hearken unto me: but f pollute ye my holy 
name no more with your gifts, and with your 
idols. 

40 For in mine holy "''mountain, in the moun- 
tain of the height of Is'ra-el, saith the Lord 
God, there shall all the house of Is'ra-el, all 
of them in the land, serve me: there "will I 
accept them, and there will I require your 
offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, 
with 27 all your holy things. 

41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, 
when I bring you out from the people, an:l 
gather you out of the countries wherein yc 



i. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they 
stedfast in his covenant. (Ps. 7S:37.) Then God turned, and gave them 
up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the 
Prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and 
sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? (Acts 7:42.) 

j. But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and de- 
stroyed them not; yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did 
not stir up all his wrath. (Ps. 7S:3S.) 

*k. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am 
the Lord. (Lev. 22:31.) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart 
keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Thou shalt keep therefore his 
statutes and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that 
it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that 
thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. 4:40.) Therefore shall ye keep all the com- 
mandments which X command you this day, that ye may be strong, and 
go in and possess the land whither ye go to possess it. (Dt. 11:8.) 

1. Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath 
day, neither do ye any work; but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I com- 
manded your fathers. (Jer. 17:22.) 

m. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one 
end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other 
gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and 
stone. (Dt. 28:64.) To overthrow their seed also among the nations, 
and to scatter them in the lands. (Ps. 106:27.) 

n. And they that escape of you shall remember me among the na- 
tions whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with 
their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, 
which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves 
for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. (Ez 
6:9.) 



o. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked 
in their own counsels. (Ps. 81:12.) Wherefore God also gave them up 
to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their 
own bodies between themselves. (Rom. 1:24.) And for this cause God 
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. (II 
Thess. 2:11.) 

p. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image 
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and 
creeping things. (Rom. 1:23.) 

q. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his 
prayer shall be abomination. (Prov. 2S:9.) 

r. Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with 
your children's children will I plead (9). Yet thou sayest, Because I am 
innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me: behold, I will plead with 
thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. (Jer. 2:9, 35.) 

s. And as for you, O my fleck, thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I 
judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he-goats. (Ez. 
34:17.) Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his 
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the 
chaff with unquenchable fire. (Mat. 3:12.) And before him shall be 
gathered all nations; and he shall separate them one from another, as a 
■shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. (Mat. 25:32.) 

t. Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unlo 
me: the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot 
away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. (Is. 1:13.) 

u. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them 
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices 
shall be accepted upon mine altar: for mine house shall be called an 
house of prayer for all people. (Is. 56:7.) I beseech you therefore, 
brethren, by the mercies of Gcd, that ye present your bodies a living sac- 
rifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 
12:1.)

have been scattered; and I -will be sanctified in 
you before the "heathen. 

42 And r ye shall "know that I am the Lord, 
when I shall bring you into the land of Is'ra-el, 
into the country for the which 1 lifted up mine 
hand to give it to your fathers. 

43 And there shall ye remember your ways, 
and all your doings, wherein ye have been 
defiled; and "ye shall lothe yourselves in your 
own sight for all your evils that ye have com- 
mitted. 

44 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, 
when I have wrought with you x for my name's I 
sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor j 
according to your corrupt doings, ye house 
of is'ra-el, saith the Lord God. 

45 *~ Moreover the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

46 Son of man, set thy face toward the 
south, and drop thy word toward the 31 south, 
and prophesy against the forest of the south 
field; 

47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear 
the word of the Lord; Thust saith the Lord 

.God; Behold, #1 will kindle a fire in thee, and 
it shall devour every green tree in thee, and 
every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be 
quenched, and all faces from the south to the 
north shall be burned therein. 

48 And -all flesh shall see that I the Lord 
have kindled it : it shall not be quenched. 

49 Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of 
me, Doth he not speak parables? 

CHAPTER 21. 

Ezekiel prophesieth against Jerusalem with a 

sign of sighing. 

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, set thy face toward Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and Q drop thy word toward the ^oly 
^places, and prophesy against the land of Is'- 
ra-el, 

3 And- say to the land of Is'ra-el, Thus saith 
the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, and will 
draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and 
will cut off from thee the righteous and the 
wicked. 

4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee 
the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall 
my sword go forth out of his sheath against 
all flesh from the south to the north: 

-5 That all flesh may know that I the Lord 
have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath : 
it c shall not return any more. 

6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the 
breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness 
sigh before their eyes. 

7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, 
Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt an- 
swer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and 



2S. That is, when the heathen na- 
tions saw the Hebrews restored they 
would know that the calamities which 
had befallen them were true punish- 
ments of sin and not Jehovah's in- 
ability to protect them. 



29. When the Israelite is able to 
look back and see the retributive jus- 
tice of every punishment, he will 
know that God is Jehovah.

destruction of Jerusalem with fire and

every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be 
feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all 
knees shall be weak as water: behold, it com- 
eth, and shall be brought to pass, saith the 
Lord God. 

8 r "Again the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith 
the Lord; Say, d A sword, a sword is sharp- 
ened, and also furbished: 

10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter ; 
it is furbished that it may glitter: should we 
then : make mirth? it contemneth the rod of 
my son, as every tree. 

11 And he hath given it to be furbished, 
that it may be handled: this sword is sharp- 
ened, and it is furbished, to give it into the 
hand of the slayer. 

12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall 
be upon my people, it shall be upon all the 
princes of Is'ra-el: terrors by reason of the 
sword shall be upon my people: e smite there- 
fore upon thy thigh. 

13 Because it is 4 a "trial, and what if the 
sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no 
more, saith the Lord God. 

14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, 
and smite thine hands together, and let the 
sword be doubled the third time, the sword of 
the slain: it is the sword of the great men that 
are slain, which entereth into their privy 
chambers. 

15 I have set the point of the sword against 
all their gates, that their heart may faint, and 
their ruins be multiplied : ah ! it is made bright, 
it is wrapped up for the slaughter. 

16 Go thee one way or other, either on the 
right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy 
face is set. 

17 I will also smite mine hands together, and 
I will -''cause my fury to rest : I the Lord have 
said it. 

18 r The word of the Lord came unto me 
again, saying, 

19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two 
ways, that the sword of the king of Baby-Ion 
may come: both twain shall come forth out of 
one land: and choose thou a place, choose it 
at the head of the way to the city. 

20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come 
to ''Rab'bath of the Am'mon-ites, and to Ju'- 
dah in Je-ru'sa-lem the defenced. 

21 For the king of Baby-Ion stood at the 
parting of the way, at the head of the two 
ways, to use divination : he made his arrows 
bright, he consulted with images, he looked in 
the liver. 

22 At his right hand was the divination for 
Je-ru'sa-lem, to appoint captains, to open the 
mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice 
with shouting, to 'appoint battering rams 



v. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God: I will even gather you 
from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have 
been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. (Ez. 11:17.) 

w. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity 
in your enemies' lands ; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall 
they pine away witn them. (Lev. 26:39.) I will go and return to my 
place, till they" acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their af- 
fliction they will seek me early. (Hos. 5:15.) 

x. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God: 
I do not this for your sakes, house of Israel, but for mine holy name's 
sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. (Ez. 
36:22.) 

y. But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith 
the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall de- 
vour all things round about it. (Jer. 21:14.) For God shall bring every 
■work unto judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or 
whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, behold, I come quickly: and my 
reward is with me, to give everv man accordina as his work shall be. 
(Rev. 22:12.) 

z. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) For Tophet is ordained of old: yea, for the king it is prepared; 
he hath made it deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; 
the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. (Is.

Chapter 21. 

a. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the 
dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon 



the grass. (Dt. 32:2.) Xow therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: 
Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against 
the house of Isaac. (Amos 7:16.) 

b. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of 
God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey 
not the gospel of God? (I Pet. 4:17.) 

c. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in 
righteousness, and shall not return. That unto me every knee shall bow, 
every tongue shall swear. (Is. 45:23.) 

d. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on 
judgment, I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward 
them that hate me. (Dt. 32:41.) 

e. Surely after that I was turned, I repented: and after that I was 
instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even con- 
founded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. (Jer. 31:19.) 

f. If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the in- 
nocent. (Job 9:23.1 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance 
of their jov and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their 
liberality. (II Cor. 8:2.) 

g. Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my 
fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know 
that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my 
fury in them. (Ez. 5:13.) 

h. And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon. and 
took the royal city. (II Sam. 12:26.) But I will kindle a fire in the wall 
of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the 
day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind. (Amos 1:14.) 

i. And lay siege against it. and build a fort against it, and cast a

against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build 
a fort. 

23 And it shall be unto them as a false div- 
ination in their sight, to them that have sworn 
oaths: but he will call to remembrance the in- 
iquity, that they may be taken. 

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause ye have made your iniquity to be re- 
membered, in that your transgressions are dis-

Is'ra-el, whose day is come, when iniquity shall

diadem, and take off the crown: this shall 
not be the same: exalt him that is low, and

say, Thus saith the Lord God concerning the 
Am'mon-ites, and concerning their reproach; 
even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn : 
for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume 
because of the glittering: 

29 Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles 
they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon 
the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, 
whose day is come, when their iniquity shall 
have an end. 

30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? 
I will judge thee in the place where thou wast 
created, in the land of thy nativity.

upon thee, I will blow against thee in the 'fire 
of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand 
of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.

blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou 
shalt be no more remembered: for I the Lord 
have spoken it.

made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a 
mocking to all countries. 

5 Those that be near, and those that be far 
from thee, shall mock thee, which art in- 
famous and much vexed. 

6 Behold, *the princes of Is'ra-el, every one 
were in thee to their power to shed blood. 

7 In thee have they set light by father and 
mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt 
by oppression with the stranger: in thee have 
they vexed the fatherless and the widow. 

8 "Thou hast despised mine holy things, and 
hast profaned my sabbaths. 

9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed 
blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: 
in the midst of thee they commit lewdness. 

10 In thee have they discovered their fa- 
thers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled 
her that was set apart for pollution. 

11 And one hath committed abomination with 
his neighbour's wife; aMd another hath lewdly 
defiled his daughter in law; and another in 
thee hath humbled his sister, his father's 
daughter. 

12 In thee c have they taken gifts to shed 
blood; thou fhast taken usury and increase, 
and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours 
by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the 
Lord God. 

13 If Behold, therefore I have smitten mine 
hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast 
made, and at thy blood which hath been in the 
midst of thee. 

14 Can fthine heart endure, or can thine 
hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal 
with thee? h I the Lord have spoken it, and will 
do it. 

15 And I will scatter thee among the 
heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, 
and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. 

16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance 
in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and 
'thou shalt know that I am the Lord. 

17 And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

18 "Son of man, the house of Is'ra-el is to 
me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, 
and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; 
they are even the dross of silver. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause ye are all become dross, behold, there- 
fore I will gather you into the midst of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. 

20 As they gather silver, and brass, and 
iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the 
furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; 
so will I gather you in mine anger and in my 
fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you. 

21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon 
you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be 
melted in the midst thereof.

furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst

against it round about. (Ez. 4:2.) 

j. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, accord- 
ing to all that Jehoiakim had done. (II Ks. 24:19.) And he did that 
which was evil in the eves of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim 
had done. (Jer. 52:2.) 

k. But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, 
and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his 
brethren, and his neighbors, and he is not. (Jer. 49:10.) He shall be 
great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God 
shall give unto him the throne of his father David. (Luke 1:32.) 

1. And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall 
show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger,

Chapter 22. 

a. Wilt thou judge them, son of man? wilt thou judge them? cause 
them to know the abominations of their fathers. (Ez. 20:4.) The Lord 
said moreover unto me: Son of man. wilt thou judge Aholah and Aho- 
libah? yea, declare unto them their abominations. (Ez. 23:36.) 

b. For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house 
of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a deso- 
lation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the 
reproach of my people. (Mic. 6:16.) 

c. Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had 



filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin wherewith he 
made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord. (II Ks. 21:16.) 

d. Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one 
loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, 
neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. (Is. 1:23.) 

e. Thou shalt net wrest judgment: thou shalt not respect persons, 
neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and per- 
vert the words of the righteous. (Dt. 16:19.) 

f. If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou 
shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. 
(Ex. 22:25.) Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of 
monev. usury of victuals, usuary of any thing that is lent upon usury. 
(Dt. 23:19.) 

g. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God: and their horses flesh,

thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have 
poured out my fury upon you. 

23 H And the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the 
land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in 
the day of indignation. 

25 There •'is a conspiracy of her prophets in 
the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening 
the prey; they ''have devoured souls; they have 
taken the treasure and precious things; they 
have made her many widows in the midst 
thereof. 

26 Her priests have violated my law, and 
have profaned mine holy things : they have 
put no difference between the holy and profane, 
neither have they shewed difference between 
the unclean and the clean, and have hid their 
eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned 
among them. 

27 Her 'princes in the midst thereof are like 
wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to 
destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 

28 And her prophets have daubed them with 
untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divin- 
ing lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken. 

29 The people of the land have used oppres- 
sion, and exercised robbery, and have vexed 
the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed 
the stranger wrongfully. 

30 And "'I sought for a man among them 
that should make up the hedge, and stand in 
the gap before me for the land, that I should 
not destroy it: but T I found none. 

31 Therefore have I poured out mine "in- 
dignation upon them; I have consumed them 
with the fire of riiy wrath: their own a way 
have I recompensed upon their heads, saith 
the Lord God. 

CHAPTER 23. 

1 The whoredoms of Aholah and Aholibah. 36 
The prophet reproveth the adulteries of 
them both, 45 and sheiveth their judgments. 

1 2 The word of the Lord came again unto 
me, saying, 

2 Son of man, there were two women, the 
"daughters of one mother: 

3 And "they committed whoredoms in 
E'gypt; they committed whoredoms in their 
youth: there were their breasts pressed, and 
there they bruised the teats of their virginity. 

4 And the names of them were A-ho'lah the 



7. Not that there was no faithful 
one among them, for Jeremiah and 
Barueh were still there; but among 
those just enumerated as guilty of 
sueh sins, there were none morally 
able for sueh au office. 



Ch. 23. B. C. 593. 



1. In this ch. the prophet pictures 
the sin of Israel and .Tudah under the 
names of two lewd sisters. Here is 
expressed one of the most disgust- 
ing pictures of lust and crime to be 
found in literature. In reading this 
picture so revolting, it should be re- 
membered that the prophet lived in 
an age and country where sueh 
crimes were not only common, but 
the heathen deities were represented 
as being appeased by sueh loathsome- 
ness. Hence, in making his illustra- 
tion, he attacked their vilest prac- 
tices. 



2. Israel and .Tudah one nation by 
birth from the same ancestress, Sa- 
rah. 



3. Referring to Jerusalem's for- 
saking her true Lord, her husband, 
and going off after the false idols of 
the Assyrians. 



4. In vs. 7-10 she does not even re- 
main true to her Assyrian paramour, 
but goes off after the Egyptians. 



5. Meaning Judah. with greater 
privileges, was more corrupt than 
her sister Israel. 



G. Which occurred after the satis- 
fying of her passion and she began 
to feel the heavy hand of the Baby- 
lonians upon her; but her sin had been 
so great that she could not return to 
Jehovah, her lawful husband, without 
bitter repentance. 



elder, and A-hol'i-bah her sister: and they 
were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. 
Thus were their names; Sa-ma'ri-a is A-ho'lah, 
and Je-ru'sa-lem ''A-hol'i-bah. 

5 And A-ho'lah played the harlot when she 
was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the 
As-syr'i-an§ her neighbours, 

6 Which were clothed with blue, captains 
and rulers, all of them desirable young men, 
horsemen riding upon horses. 

7 'Thus she committed her whoredoms with 
them, with all them that were the chosen men 
of As-syr'i-a, and with all on whom she doted: 
with all their idols she defiled herself. 

8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought 
from E'gypt: for in her youth they lay with 
her, and they bruised the breasts of her vir- 
ginity, and poured their whoredom upon her. 

9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the 
hand of her lovers, into the hand of the As- 
syr'i-ans, upon whom she doted. 

10 These ^discovered her nakedness: they 
took her sons and her daughters, and slew her 
with the sword: and she became c famous 
among women; for they had executed judgment 
upon her. 

11 And when her sister ^A-hol'i-bah saw 
this, she was more 5 corrupt in her inordinate 
love than she, and in her whoredoms more than 
her sister in her whoredoms. 

12 She doted upon the As-syr'i-ans her 
neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most 
gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, ail 
of them desirable young men. 

13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that 
they took both one way, 

14 And that she increased her whoredoms: 
for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the 
wall, the images of the Chal-de'ans pourtrayed 
with vermilion, 

15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, ex- 
ceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of 
them princes to look to, after the manner of 
the Bab-y-io'ni-ans of Chal-de'a, the land of 
their nativity: 

16 And as soon as she saw them with her 
eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers 
unto them into Chal-de'a. 

17 And the Bab-y-15'nl-ans came to her into 
the bed of love, and they defiled her with their 
whoredom, and she was polluted with them, 
and her mind was "alienated from them. 

18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and 
discovered her nakedness: then my mind was 



j. And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of 
priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. (Hos. 
6:9.) For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every 
one is given to covetousuess: and from the prophet even unto the priest 
every one dealeth falsely. (Jer. 6:13.) 

k. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour 
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall 
receive the greater damnation. (Mat. 23:14.) For I know this, that 
after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not 
sparing the nock. (Acts 20:29.) 

1. Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one 
loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, 
neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. (Is. 1:23.) Her 
princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; 
they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. (Zeph. 3:3.) 

m. Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see 
now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a 
man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; 
and I will pardon it. (Jer. 5:1.) And be saw that there was no man, 
and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought 
salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. (Is. 59:16.) 
And I looked, and there was none 1o help; and I wondered that there 
was none to uphold: iherefore mine own arm brought salvation unto 
me; and my fury, it uphold me. (Is. 63:5.) 

n. O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hands 
is mine indignation. (Is. 10:5.) They come from a far country, from 
the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, 
to destroy the whole land. (Is. 13:5.) Behold, the pome of the. Lord 
cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is 
heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring 
fire. (Is. 30:27.) 

o. Xow is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon 
thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense 

D thee all thine abominations (3). Now will I shortly pour out. my 
fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee; and I will judge 
thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abom- 



inations. And mine eyes shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I 
will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that 
are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the Lord that 
smiteth. (Ez. 7:3, 8, 9.) And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, 
neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. 
(Ez. 9:10.) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the 
truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and 
anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and 
also of the Gentile. (Rom. 2:8, 9.) 
Chapter 23. 

. a. Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in 
truth: and put away the gods which your father^ served on the other 
side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. (Josh. 21:14.1 
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did 
not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they 
forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon 
them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of 
Egypt. (Ez. 20:8.) 

b. That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, 
even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there; 
that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make 
toward this place. (I Ks. 8:29.) 

c. There is a league between me and thee, and between my fatner 
and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; 
come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may 
depart from me. (I Ks. 15:19.) For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild 
ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. (Hos. 8:9.) 

d. Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou 
hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them 
that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, 
and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy 
nakedness. (Ez. 16:37.) 

e. Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus 
unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? Then men 
shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of 
their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out 
of the land of Egypt. (Dt. 29:24, 25.)

alienated from her, like as my mind was alien- 
ated from her sister. 

19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in call- 
ing to remembrance the days of her youth, 
wherein she had played the harlot in the land 
of Egypt. 

20 For she doted upon their paramours, 
whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose 
issue is like the issue of horses. 

21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the 
lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats 
by the E-gyp'tian§ for the paps of thy youth. 

22 T "Therefore, A-hol'i-bah, thus saith the 
Lord God; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers 
against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, 
and I will bring them against thee on every 
side; 

23 The Bab-y-lo ni-ang, and all the Chal-de'- 
an§, Pe'kod, and Sho'a, and Ko'a, and all the 
As-syr'i-an§ with them: all of them desirable 
young men, captains and rulers, great lords 
and renowned, all of them riding upon horses. 

24 And they shall come against thee with 
^chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an 
assembly of people, which shall set against 
thee buckler and shield and helmet round 
about: and I will set judgment before them, 
and they shall judge "thee according to their 
judgments. 

25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, 
and they shall deal furiously with thee: they 
shall take away thy noseband thine ears; and 
thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they 
shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy 
residue shall be devoured by the fire. 

26 ''They shall also strip thee out of thy 
clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 

27 Thus 'will I make thy lewdness to cease 
from thee, and thy whoredom brought from 
the land of E'gypt: so that thou shalt not lift 
up thine eyes unto them, nor remember E'gypt 
any more. 

28 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I 
will deliver thee into the hand of them whom 
thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom 
thy mind is alienaled: 

29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, 
and shall take away all thy labour, and shall 
leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness 
of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy 
lewdness and thy whoredoms. 

30 I will do these things unto thee, because 
thou hast Jgone a whoring after the heathen, 
and because thou art polluted with their idols. 

31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sis- 
ter; therefore will I give her 7i 'cup into thine 
hand. 

32 Thus saith the Lord God; Thou shalt 
drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou 
shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; 
it containeth much. 



7. In vs. 22-2(5 the prophet declares 
(lint for every lust there is a fierce 
punishment which shall be executed. 



S. Adulteresses in Egypt and Chal- 
dea were so punished. The oriental 
adulterous beauties especially bejew- 
eled the nose and cars. Now how just 
that in retribution the bejeweled 
members should lie mutilated, alle- 
gorically applied to Judah, the spir- 
itual adulteress. 



33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and 
sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and deso- 
lation, with the cup of thy sister Sa-ma'ri-a. 

34 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, 
and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and 
pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken 
it, saith the Lord God. 

35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause thou 'hast forgotten me, and cast '"me 
behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy 
lewdness and thy whoredoms. 

36 If The Lord said moreover unto me; Son 
of man, wilt thou judge A-ho'lah and A-hol'- 
i-bah? yea, declare unto them their abomina- 
tions; 

37 That they have committed adultery, and 
blood is in their hands, and with their idols 
have they committed adultery, and have also 
caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to 
pass for them through the fire, to devour them. 

38 Moreover this they have done unto me: 
they have defiled my sanctuary in the same 
day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 

39 For when they had slain their children 
to their idols, then they came the same day 
into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus 
have they done in the midst of mine house. 

40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for 
men to come from far, unto whom a messenger 
was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou 
didst wash thyself, "paintedst thy eyes, and 
deckedst thyself with ornaments, 

41 And safest upon a stately bed, and a 
table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast 
set mine incense and mine oil. 

42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease 
was with her: and with the men of the common 
sort were brought Sa-be'an§ from the wilder- 
ness, which put bracelets upon their hands, 
and beautiful crowns upon their heads. 

43 Then said I unto her that was old in 
adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms 
with her, and she with them? 

44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in 
unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so 
went they in unto A-ho'lah and unto A-hol'i- 
bah, the lewd women. 

45 % And the righteous men, they shall judge 
them after the manner of adulteresses, and 
after the manner of women that shed blood; 
because they are adulteresses, and blood is in 
their hands. 

46 For thus saith the Lord God; I will bring 
up a company upon them, and will give them 
to be removed and spoiled. 

47 And the company shall stone them with 
stones, and dispatch them with their swords; 
"they shall slay their sons and their daugh- 
ters, and burn up their houses- with fire. 

48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out 



f. The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, 
and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots. (Nah. 3:2.) 
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the 
rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers 
shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands. (Jer. 47:3.) 

g. And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now 
into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not 
fall into the hand of man. (II Sam. 24:14.) 

h. And I will also give th^e into their hand, and they shall throw 
down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they 
shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and 
leave thee naked and bare. (Ez. 16:39.) 

i. And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments 
upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease 
from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. (Ez. 
16:41.) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will 
cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy char- 
iots. (Mie. 5:10.) 

j. And they that escape of you shall remember me among the na- 
tions whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with 
their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, 
which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves 
for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. (Ez. 
6:9.) 

k. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an 
horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. (Ps. 11:6.) For 
in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of 
mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the 



wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. (Ps. 75:8.) 
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine-cup of this 
fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to 
drink it. (Jer. 25:15.) 

1. Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my 
people have forgotten me days without number. (Jer. 2:32.) A voice 
was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the chil- 
dren of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have for- 
gotten the Lord their God. (Jer. 3:21.) This is thy lot, the portion of 
thy measures from me, saith the Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, 
and trusted in falsehood. (Jer. 13:25.) 

m. But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou 
hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me 
to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back. (I Ks. 14:9.) Nevertheless 
they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind 
their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn 
them to thee; and they wrought great provocation. (Neh. 9:26.) 

n. And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and 
she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. 
(II Ks. 9:30.) And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though 
thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with orna- 
ments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt 
thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy 
life. (Jer. 4:30.) 

o. Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who 
slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, 
and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him 
that stooped for age; he gave them all into his hand. (II Chr. 36:17.)

of the land, that all women may be taught not 
to do after your lewdness. 

49 And they shall ^recompense your lewd- 
ness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of 
'ycur idols: and ye shall know that I am the 
Lord God. 

CHAPTER 24. 
1 Under the parable of a boiling pot. G is 
shewed the irrevocable destruction of Jeru- 
salem. 

1 ; Again in the ninth year, in the tenth 
month, in the tenth day of the month, the 
word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, write thee the name of the 
day, even of this same day: the king of Bab- 
y-Ion set himself against Je-ru'sa-lem this same 
day. 

3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious 
house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour 
water into it : 

4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even 
every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; 
fill it with the choice bones. 

5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also 
the bones under it, and make it boil well, and 
let them seethe the bones of it therein. 

6 If Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; 
Woe to a the bloody city, to the pot whose scum 
is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of 
it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall 
upon it. 

7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she 
set it upon the top of a rock; 6 she poured it not 
upon the ground, to cover it with dust; 

8 That it might cause fury to come up to 
take vengeance; C I have set her blood upon 
the top of a rock, that it should not be cov- 
ered. 

9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; a Woe 
to the bloody city! I will even make the pile 
for fire great. 

10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume 
the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be 
burned. 

11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, 
that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, 
and that the filthiness of it may be molten in 
it. that the scum of it may be consumed. 

12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and 
her great scum went not forth out of her: her 
scum shall be in the fire. 

13 In thy filthiness 3 is lewdness: because I 
have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, 
thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness 
any more, till I have caused my fury to rest 
upon thee. 

14 I the Lord have spoken it: it shall come 
to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, 
^neither will I spare, neither will I repent; 



Ch. 24. B. C. 5S0. 



1. In this ch. is the prophet's vis- 
ion of the boiling caldron and of the 
death of his own wife. 



2. Jerusalem. 



3. Thy determined, 
wickedness. 



4. In vs. 15-27 is recorded the ac- 
count of the death of Ez. 's wife and 
its prophetic lesson. History fails to 
record a more pathetic page than 
these few brief words of the personal 
history of this holy man of God, when 
he was commanded to weep not over 
the death of his wife. 



5. That is. what the wife was to 
the prophet the sanctuary was to Je- 
hovah. It perraps should also be ob- 
served as to the saeredness of the 
prophet's home in this comparison. 



Ch. 25. B.' C, 590. 



1. Beginning with this ch. and ex-* 
tending to the 32nd inclusive, Ez. be- 
gins a series of prophecies against the 
enemies of the chosen people, inter-' 
"weaving them with compassion and 
hope for the Israelites. Seven heathen 
nations come under his condemnation, 
viz.. Ammon. Edom. Tyre. Jloab. 
Zidon. Philistia. and Egypt. Why 
Babylon was not considered is, per- 
haps, because the prophet regarded 
that nation, at this time, as acting 
as God's minister of judgment against 
other nations. Nebuchadrezzar was 
king. 



according to thy ways, and according to thy 
doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord 
God. 

15 r4 Also the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

16 Son of man, behold, I take away from 
thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: 
yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither 
shall thy tears run down. 

17 Forbear to ciy, fmake no mourning for 
the dead, ^bind the tire of thine head upon 
thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and 
cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of 
men. 

18 So I spake unto the people in the morn- 
ing: and at even my wife died; and I did in 
the morning as I was commanded. 

19 r And the people said unto me, Wilt thou 
not tell us what these things are to us, that 
thou doest so? 

20 Then I answered them, The word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

21 Speak unto the house of Is'ra-el, Thus 
saith the Lord God; Behold, h I will 5 profane 
my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, 
'the desire of your eyes, and that which your 
soul pitieth; and your sons and your daugh- 
ters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. 

22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall 
not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 

23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, 
and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not 
mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for 
your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. 

24 Thus E-ze'ki-el is unto you a sign : ac- 
cording to all that he hath done shall ye do: 
and when this cometh, ye shall know that I 
am the Lord God. 

25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in 
the day when I take from them their strength, 
the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, 
and that whereupon they set their minds, their 
sons and their daughters, 

26 That he that escapeth in that day shall 
come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with 
thine ears? 

27 In -'that day shall thy mouth be opened 
to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, 
and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a 
sign unto them; and they shall know that I am 
the Lord. 

CHAPTER 25. 
God's vengeance, for their insolency against 
the Jews, upon the Ammonites, Moab, Seir, 
Edom, and upon the Philistines. 

1 'The word of the Lord came again unto 
me, saying, 

2 Son of man, set thy face against "the Am'- 
mon-Ttes, and prophesy against them; 

3 And say unto the Am'mon-ites, Hear the 



p. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, -whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) And, 
behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man 
according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Wherefore, if meat make 
my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I 
make my brother to offend. (I Cor. 8:13.) For we know him that hath 
said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. 
And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (Heb. 10:30.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord God; The city sheddeth blood 
in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against 
herself to defile herself. (Ez. 22:3.) 

b. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of 
the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any 
beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood there- 
of, and cover it with dust. (Lev. 17:13.) Only ye shall not eat the blood: 
ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. (Dt. 12:16.) 

c. For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from 
my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. (Jer. 16:17.) For 
with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what meas- 
ure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Mat. 7:2.) 

d. Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery, the prey 
departeth not. (Xah. 3:1.) Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, 
and stablisbeth a city Dy iniquity! (Hab. 2:12.) 

e. Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou 
hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all 
thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish, thee; neither shall 
mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. (Ez. 5:11.) 

f. For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, 



neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my 
peace from this people, saith the Lord, even leving-kindness and mercies, 
(jer. 16:5.) 

g. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, 
his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes, lest ye 
die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the 
whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled. 
(Lev. 10:6.) 

h. And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that 
I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land 
which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which 
:.hall burn for ever. (Jer. 17:4.) 

i. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that 
J may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold 
the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. (Ps. 27:4.) 

j. And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that 

'iou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a 

bellious house. (Ez. 3:26.) In that day will I cause the horn of the 

"1 ouse of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the 

■ louth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. 

,2z. 29:21.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Am- 

• -onites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced (20). And thou, son 
' man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord God concerning the 

. mmonites, and concerning their reproach: even say thou. The sword, 
' sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume be- 

• 'use of the glittering. (Ez. 21:20, 28.) And send them to the king of 
-J-lom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and

word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord 
God; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my 
sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against 
the land of Is'ra-el, when it was desolate; and 
against the house of Ju'dah, when they went 
into captivity; 

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the 
men of the east for a possession, and they shall 
set their "palaces in thee, and make their dwell- 
ings in thee : they shall eat thy fruit, and they 
shall drink thy milk. 

5 And I will make Rab'bah a stable for 
camels, and the Am'mon-ites a couching place 
for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the 
Lord. 

6 For thus saith the Lord God; Because thou 
hast clapped thine 6 hands, and stamped with 
the feet, and rejoiced in ''heart with all thy 
3 despite against the land of Is'ra-el; 

7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine 
hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a 
spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off 
from the people, and I will cause thee to 
perish out of the countries: I will destroy 
thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. 

8 r Thus saith the Lord God; Because that 
Mo'ab and Se'ir do -say, Behold, the house of 
Ju'dah is like unto all the heathen; 

9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of 
Mo'ab from the cities, from his cities which are 
on his frontiers, the glory of the country, 
Beth-jesh'i-moth, Ba'al-me'on, and Kir-i-a-tha'- 
im, 

10 Unto the men of the east with the Am'- 
mon-ites, and will give them in possession, 
that the Am'mon-ites may not be remembered 
among the nations. 

11 And I will execute judgments upon Mo'- 
ab; and they shall know that I am the Lord. 

12 H Thus* saith the Lord God; Because d that 
E'dom hath dealt against the house of Ju'dah 
by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offend- 
ed, and revenged himself upon them; 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I 
will also stretch out mine hand upon E'dom, 
and will cut off man and beast from it; and I 
will make it desolate from Te'man; and they 
of De'dan shall fall by the sword. 

14 And f I will lay my vengeance upon 
E'dom by the hand of my people is'ra-el: and 
they shall do in E'dom according to mine 
anger and according to my fury; and they 
shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God. 

15 1 Thus saith the Lord God; Because ^the 
Phi-Hs'tines. have dealt by revenge, and have 
taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to 
destroy it for the old hatred; 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the 



Encampments. 



3. Contempt. 



4. That is, the Philistines are not 
being punished by the true God as 
Israel is and for the same purpose, 
i. e., to bring them to a true knowl- 
edge of Jehovah. They shall know 
me, not iu mercy, but by my venge- 
ance on them. "The Lord is known 
by the judgment which he executeth: 
the wicked is snared iu the work of 
his own hands." (Ps. 0:16.)

2. Jerusalem.

word of the great king, the king of 
Assyria." 



Phi-Hs'tines, and I will cut off the Cher'eth- 
img, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon 
them with furious rebukes; and they shall 
^know that T am the Lord, when I shall lay 
my vengeance upon them. 

CHAPTER 26. 
1 Tyrus, for insulting against Jerusalem, is 
threatened. 7 The mourning and astonish- 
ment of the sea at her fall. 

1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 
in the first day of the month, that the word 
of the Lord came unto me, .saying, 

2 Son of man, "because that l Ty'rus hath 
said against Je-ru'sa-lem, Aha, she is broken 
that was the "gates of the people: she is 
^turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now 
she is laid waste: 

3 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I am against thee, Ty'rus, and will 
cause many nations to come up against thee, 
as the sea causeth his waves to come up. 

4 And they shall destroy the walls of Ty'rus, 
and break down her towers: I will also scrape 
her dust from her, and make her like the top 
of a rock. 

5 It shall be a place for the spreading of 
nets in the midst of the sea : for I have spoken 
it, saith the Lord God: and it shall become a 
spoil to the nations. 

6 And her daughters which are in the field 
shall be slain by the sword; and they shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

7 IPor thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I 
will bring upon Ty'rus Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king of Bab'y-lon, a c king 4 of kings, from the 
north, with horses, and with chariots, and with 
horsemen, and companies, and much people. 

8 He shall slay with the sword thy daugh- 
ters in the field: and he shall make a fort 
against thee, and cast a mount against thee, 
and lift up the buckler against thee. 

9 And he shall set engines of war against 
thy walls, and with his axes he shall break 
down thy towers. 

10 By reason of the abundance of his horses 
their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall 
shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the 
wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall 
enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city 
wherein is made a breach. 

11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he 
tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy 
people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons 
shall go down to the ground. 

12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, 
and make a prey of thy ^merchandise : and they 
shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy 



to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the mes- 
sengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah. (Jer. 
27:3.) 

b. Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his 
place. (Job 27:23.) All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss 
and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the 
city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? 
(Lam. 2:15.) 

c. I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the 
children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and mag- 
nified themselves against their border (8). This shall they have for their 
pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against 
the people of the Lord of hosts. (Zeph. 2:8, 10.) But thou shouldest 
not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a 
stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of 
Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken 
proudly in the day of distress. (Ob. 12.) 

d. For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried 
away captives. (II Chr. 28:17.) Remember, O Lord, the children of 
Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the 
foundation thereof. (Ps. 137:7.) 

e. But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the 
w r eet; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their 
hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. 
(Is. 11:14.) 

f. Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all 
the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye 
recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon 
your own head. (Joel 3:4.) Thus saith the Lord; For three transgres- 
sions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment there- 



of, because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them 
up to Edom. (Amos 1:6.) 

g. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they 
shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire 
of thine enemies shall devour them. (Is. 26:11.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid 
waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chit- 
tim it is revealed to them. (Is. 23:1.) Because of the day that cometh 
to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every 
helper that remaineth; for the Lord will spoil the Philistines, the rem- 
nant of the country of Caphtor. (Jer. 47:4.) Thus saith the Lord; for 
three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to 
Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant. (Amos 1:9.) 

b. Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all 
the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye 
recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence 
upon your own head; Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, 
and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: The 
children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto 
the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border. (Joel 
3:4-6.) 

c. Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the 
law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time. (Ezra 7:12.) 
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given 
thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. (Dan. 2:37.) 

d. Who hath taken his counsel against Tyre, the crowning city,

pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones 
and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of 
the water. 

13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs 
to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be 
no more heard. 

14 And I will make thee like the top of a 
rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets 
upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the 
Lord ''have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 

15 HThus saith the Lord God to Ty'rus; 
Shall not the isles ^shake at the sound of thy 
fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter 
is made in the midst of thee? 

16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come 
down from their thrones, and lay away their 
robes, and put off their broidered garments : 
they shall clothe themselves with trembling; 
they shall sit upon the ground, and -''shall trem- 
ble at every moment, and be astonished at 
thee. 

17 And they shall take up a ''lamentation 
for thee, and say to thee, How ! 'art thou des- 
troyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, 
the renowned city, which wast strong -'in the 
sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause 
their terror to be on all that haunt it! 

18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of 
thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall 
be troubled at thy departure. 

19 For thus saith the Lord God; When I 
shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities 
that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up 
the deep upon thee, and great waters shall 
cover thee; 

20 c When I shall bring thee down with them 
that descend into the pit, with the people of 
old time, and shall set thee in the low parts 
of the earth, in places desolate of old, with 
them that go down to the pit, that thou be not 
inhabited; and I 7: shall set glory in the land 
of the living; 

21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt 
be no more: though thou be sought for, yet 
shalt thou never be found again, saith the 
Lord God. 

CHAPTER 27. 
The great and unrecoverable fall of Tyrus. 

1 'The word of the Lord came again unto 
me, saying, 

2 Now, thou son of man, °take up a lamenta- 
tion for Ty'rus; 

3 And say unto Ty'rus, thou that art 
situate at the entry of the sea, which art a 
merchant of the people for many isles, Thus 
saith the Lord God; O Ty'rus, thou hast said, 
I am of perfect beauty. 

4 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, 
thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 

5 They have made all thy ship boards of fir 
tvees of Se'nlr: they have taken cedars from 
Leb'a-non to make masts for thee.

6 Of the oaks of Ba'shan have they made 
thine oars; the company of the Ash ur-Ites 
have made thy benches of ivory, brought out 
of the isles of Chlt'tim. 

7 Fine linen with broidered work from 
Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to 
be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of 
E-li'shah was that which covered thee. 

8 The inhabitants of Zi'don and Ar'vad were 
thy mariners: thy wise men, Ty'rus, that 
were in thee, were thy pilots. 

9 The ancients of "Ge'bal and the wise men 
thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships 
of the sea with their mariners were in thee 
to occupy thy merchandise. 

10 They of "Persia and of Liid and of Phut 
were in thine army, thy men of war: they 
hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they 
set forth thy comeliness. 

11 The men of Ar'vad with thine army were 
upon thy walls round about, and the 4 Gam'- 
ma-dlms were in thy towers: they hanged 
their shields upon thy walls round about; they 
have made thy beauty perfect. 

12 '"Tar'shish was thy merchant by reason 
of the multitude of all kind of riches; with 
silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy 
fairs. 

13 c Ja'van, Tu'bal, and Me'shech, they were 
thy merchants : they traded the persons of men 
and vessels of brass in thy market. 

14 They of the house of 7 To-gar'mah traded

mules. 

15 The men of 5 De'dan were thy merchants;

they brought thee for a present horns of ivory 
and ebony. 

16 °Syr'I-a was thy merchant by reason of

ple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and 
coral, and agate. 

17 Ju'dah, and the land of Is'ra-el, they were 
thy merchants: they traded in thy market

and oil, and balm. 

18 "Da-mas'cus was thy merchant in the 
multitude of the wares of thy making, for the 
multitude of all riches; in the wine of Hel'bon, 
and white wool.

and calamus, were in thy market. 

20 De'dan was thy merchant in precious 
clothes for chariots. 

21 "A-ra'bi-a, and all the princes of Ke'dar,

they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy 
fairs with chief of all spices, and with all 
precious stones, and gold. 



whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of 
the earth? (8). And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to 
the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up: for her merchandise shall 
be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for 
durable clothing. (Is. 23:8, 18.) 

e. For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? 
and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? (Is. 14:27.) 

f. The earth is moved at the noise of their fall; at the cry, the 
noise thereof was heard in the Red sea. (Jer. 49:21.) I made the nations 
to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with 
them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and 
best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether 
parts of the earth. (Ez. 31:16.) 

g. Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings 
shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall banish my sword before 
them: and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own 
life, in the day of thy fall. (Ez. 32:10.) 

h. Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel (1). 
And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her 
fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a 
lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation. (Ez. 19:1, 14.) Son of 
man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto 
him. Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale 
in the seas; and thou earnest forth with thy rivers,- and troubledst the 
waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers (2). This Is the lamenta- 



tion wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall 
lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her 
multitude, saith the Lord God. (Ez. 32:2, 16.) 

i. They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab 
turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dis- 
maying to all them about him. (Jer. 4S:39.) How is the hammer of the 
whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desola- 
tion among the nations! (Jer. 50:23.) 

j. Be thou ashamed. O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the 
strength of the sea, saying. I travail not, nor bring forth children, 
neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. (Is. 23:4.) 

k. And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount 
Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day. and the shin- 
ing of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. 
(Is. 4:5.) For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he 
sent me unto the nations which spoiled you; for he that toucheth you 
toucheth the apple of his eye. (Zech. 2:8.) 

Chapter 27. 

a. See ch. 26:17. 

b. And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, 
even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very 
great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the 
children of Israel. (Jud. 11:33.) And Herod was highly displeased with 
them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him." and, 
having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; 
because their country was nourished by the king's country. (Acts 12:20.) 



Ch. 28 

23 Ha'ran, and Can'neh, and Eden, the mer- 
chants of She'ba, As'shur, and Chil'mad, were 
thy merchants. 

24 These were thy merchants in all sorts of 
things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, 
and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, 
and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. 

25 The ships of Tar'shish did sing of thee in 
thy market: and thou wast replenished, and 
made vexy glorious in the midst of the seas. 

26 II Thy rowers have brought thee into 
great waters: the east wind hath broken thee 
in the midst of the seas. 

27 Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchan- 
dise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, 
and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all 
thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all 
thy company which is in the midst of thee, 
shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day 
of thy ruin. 

28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of 
the cry of thy pilots. 

29 And °all that handle the oar, the mari- 
ners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come 
down from their ships, they shall stand upon 
the land; 

30 And shall cause their voice to be heard 
against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall 
d cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wal- 
low themselves in the ashes: 

31 And they shall make themselves utterly 
bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, 
and they shall weep for thee with bitterness 
of heart and bitter wailing. 

32 And in their wailing they shall take up a 
lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, 
saying, What city is like Ty'rus, like the des- 
troyed in the midst of the sea? 

33 When thy wares went forth out of the 
seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst 
enrich the kings of the earth with the multi- 
tude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. 

34 In the time when thou shalt be broken by 
the seas in the depths of the waters thy mer- 
chandise and all thy company in the midst of 
thee shall fall. 

35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be 
astonished at thee, and their kings shall be 
sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their 
countenance. 

36 The merchants among the people shall 
hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never 
shalt be any more.

'God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of 
the seas; s yet thou art a man, and not God, 
though thou set thine heart as the heart of 
God: 

3 Behold, thou art wiser than Dan'iel; there 
is no secret that they can hide from thee: 

4 With thy wisdom and with thine under- 
standing thou hast gotten thee riches, and 
hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 

5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick 
hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart 
is lifted up because f of thy riches: 

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause thou hast set thine heart as the heart of 
God; 

7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers 
upon thee, <*the 4 terrible of the nations: and 
they shall draw their swords against the beauty 
of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy bright- 
ness. 

8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, 
and thou shalt die the deaths of them that 
are slain in the midst of the seas. 

9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slay- 
eth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, 
and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth 
thee. 

10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncir- 
cumcised by the hand of strangers: for I 
have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 

11 H Moreover the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon 
the king of Ty'rus, and say unto him, Thus 
saith the Lord God; Thou 5 sealest up the sum, 
full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 

13 Thou hast been in c E'den the garden of 
God; every precious stone was thy covering, 
the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, 
the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the em- 
erald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the work- 
manship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was 
prepared in thee in the day that thou wast 
created. 

14 Thou art the anointed ''cherub that cov- 
ereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon 
»the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked 
up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the 
day that thou wast created, till iniquity was 
found in thee. 

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise 
they have filled the midst of thee with violence, 
and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast 
thee as profane out of the mountain of God: 
and I will destroy thee, covering cherub, 
from the midst of the stones of fire. 

17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy 
beauty, thou hast "corrupted thy wisdom by- 
reason- of thy brightness: I will cast thee to

trade by sea, stood afar off. (Rev. 18:17.) 

d. And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, 
they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, 
and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. (Job 2:12.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before 
honor is humility. (Prov. 18:12.) For thou hast said in thine heart, I 
will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: 
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the 
north. (Is. 1-4:13.) 

b. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, 
and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that 
helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all 
shall fail together. (Is. 31:3.) 

c. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly 
houses, and dwelt therein ; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, 
and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is mul- 
tiplied; Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy 
God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house 
of bondage. (Dt. 8:12-14.) 

d. By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the 



terrible of the nations, all of them; and they shall spoil the pomp of 
Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. (Ez. 32:12.) 

e. The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir- 
trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his 
branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his 
beauty. I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that 
all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. (Ez. 
31:8, 9.) 

f. And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, cover- 
ing the mercyseat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to 
another; toward the mercyseat shall the faces of the cherubim be. (Ex. 
25:20.) 

g. For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of 
Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of 
them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I 
require their offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all 
your holy things. (Ez. 20:40.) 

h. And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes con- 
demned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those 
that after shourfl live ungodly. (II Pet. 2:6.) Even as Sodom and Go-

over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an 
example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 7.)

glorified in the midst of thee: and they ■'shall 
know that I am the Lord, when I shall have 
executed judgments in her, and shall be sancti- 
fied in her. 

23 For 7i 'I will send into her pestilence, and 
blood into her streets; and the wounded shall 
be judged in the midst of her by the sword 
upon her on every side ; and they shall* know 
that I am the Lord. 

24 H And there shall be no more a pricking 
brier unto the house of Is'ra-el, nor any griev- 
ing thorn of all that are round about them, 
that despised them; and they shall know that 
I am the Lord God. 

25 Thus saith the Lord God; When I shall 
have 'gathered the house of IsVa-el from the 
people among whom they are scattered, and 
shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the 
heathen, then shall they dwell in their land 
that I have given to my servant Ja'cob. 

26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and 
shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, 
they shall dwell with confidence, when I have 
executed judgments upon all those that despise 
them round about them; and they shall J'know 
that I am the Lord their God.

1 J In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in

a against all E'gypt: 

3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God;

E'gypt, the great 2 dragon that lieth in the 
midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river 
is mine own, 3 and I have made it for myself.

will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto 
thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the 
midst 01 thy rivers, and all the fish of thy 
rivers shall stick unto thy scales.

field and to the fowls of the heaven. 

6 And all the inhabitants of E'gypt shall 
know that I am the Lord, because they have 
been a r staff of reed to the house of Is'ra-el. 

7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, 
thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: 
and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, 
and madest all their loins to be at a stand. 

8 *I Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut 
off man and beast outof thee. 

9 And the land of E'gypt shall be desolate 
and waste; and they shall know that I am the 
Lord: because he hath said, The river is mine, 
and I have made it. 

10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and 
against thy rivers, and I will make the land 
of E'gypt utterly waste and desolate, from the 
tower of Sy-e'ne even unto the border of E-thi- 
6'pi-a. 

11 No foot of man shall pass through it, 
nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither 
shall it be inhabited "forty years. 

12 And I will make the land of E'gypt deso- 
late in the midst of the countries that are deso- 
late, and her cities among the cities that are 
laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I 
will "scatter the E-gyp'tians among the nations, 
and will disperse them through the countries. 

13 rYet thus saith the Lord God; At the 
end of fforty years will I gather the E-gyp'- 
tians from the people whither they were scat- 
tered : 

14 And I will bring again the captivity of 
E'gypt, and will cause them to return into the 
land of Path'ros, into the land of their hab- 
itation ; and they shall be there a base kingdom. 

15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; 
neither shall it exalt itself any more above the 
nations : for I will diminish them, that they 
shall no more rule over the nations. 

16 And it shall be no more "the confidence of 
the house of Is'ra-el, which bringeth their in- 
iquity to remembrance, when they shall lcok 
after them: but they shall ''know that I am 
the Lord God. 

17 "I And it came to pass in the seven and 
twentieth year, in the first month, in the first 
day of the month, the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

18 Son of man, Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of 
Bab'y-lon caused his army to serve a great 
service against Tyrus: every head was made 
bald, and every shoulder 'was peeled: yet had 
he no wages, nor his army, for Ty'rus, for the 
service that he had served against it: 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I will give the land of E'gypt unto Neb- 
u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon; and he shall 
take her multitude, and take her spoil, and 
take her prey; and it shall be the wages for 
his army. 



i. Be thou ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea hath spoken, even the 
strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, 
neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins (1). And he 
said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, thou oppressed virgin, daughter of 
Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.

wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I 
stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel 
from among them. (Ex. 7:5.) 

k. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood: 
and I will rain upon him, and upon his hands, and upon the many 
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones fire 
and brimstone. (Ez. 38:22.) 

1. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble 
the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from 
the four corners of the earth. (Is. 11:12.) Then shall the children of 
Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint them- 
selves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall 
be the day of Jezreel. (Hos. 1:11.)

and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt, shall be moved at 
his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. (Is. 
19:1.) 



b. Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king 
of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that 
seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebu- 
chadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life. (Jer. 
44:30.) 

c. Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into 
mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in 
thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou earnest. 
(II Ks. 19:28.) 

d. And 'they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and 
all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have 
served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, 
and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be 
buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth. (Jer. 8:2.) 

e. Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, 
even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and 
pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. (II 
Ks. 18:21.) 

f. In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, 
and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; 
and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. (Is. 19:23.) 

g. That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my 
mouth: to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust 
in the shadow of Egypt! (Is. 30:2.)

5 E-thi-d'pi-a, and Lib'y-a, and Lyd'i-a, and 
all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men 
of the land that is in league, shall fall with 
them by the sword. 

6 Thus saith the Lord; They also that up- 
hold E'gypt shall fall; and the pride of her 
power shall come down: from the tower of Sy- 
e'ne shall they fall in it by the sword, saith 
the Lord God. 

7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of 
the countries that are desolate, and her cities 
shall be in the midst of the cities that are 
wasted. 

8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, 
when I have set a fire in E'gypt, and when all 
her helpers shall be destroyed. 

9 In that day c shall messengers go forth 
from me in ships to make the careless E-thi-o'- 
pi-ans afraid, and great pain shall come upon 
them, as in the day of E'gypt: for, lo, it 
cometh. 

10 Thus saith the Lord God; <*I will also 
make the multitude of E'gypt to cease by the 
hand of Neb-u-chad-rez'zar king of Bab'y-lon. 

11 He and his people with him, the terrible 
of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the 
land : and they shall draw their swords against 
E'gypt, and fill the land with the slain. 

12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell 
f the land into the hand of the wicked: and I 
will make the land waste, and a]l that is there- 
in, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord have 
spoken it. 

13 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also 
destroy ''the idols, and I will cause their images 
to cease out of 4 N6ph; and there shall be no

more a prince of the land of E'gypt: and I 
will put a fear in the land of E'gypt. 

14 And I will make "Path'ros desolate, and 
will set fire in Zo'an, and will execute judg- 
ments in No. 

15 And I will pour my fury upon "Sin, the 
strength of E'gypt; and I will cut off the mul- 
titude of No. 

16 And I will set fire in E'gypt: Sin shall 
have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, 
and Noph shall have distresses daily. 

17 The young men of 7 A'ven and of Pl-be'- 
seth shall fall by the sword: and these cities 
shall go into captivity. 

18 At Te-haph'ne-hes also the day shall be 
darkened, when I shall break there the yokes 
of E'gypt: and the pomp of her strength shall 
cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover 
her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. 

19 Thus will I execute judgments in E'gypt: 
and they shall know that I am the Lord.

year, in the first month, in the seventh day of 
the month, that the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of 
Pha'raoh king of E'gypt; and, lo, it shall not be 
bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind 
it, to make it strong to hold the sword. 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I am against Pha'raoh king of E'gypt, 
and will "break his arms, the strong, and that 
which was broken; and I will cause the sword 
to fall out of his hand. 

23 And ''I will scatter the E-gyp'tian§ among 
the nations, and will disperse them through the 
countries. 

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the 
king of Bab'y-lon, and put my sword in his 
hand: but I will break Pha'raoh's arms, and 
he shall groan before him with the groanings 
of a deadly wounded man. 

25 But I will strengthen the arms of the 
king of Bab'y-lon, and the arms of Pha'raoh 
shall fall down; and they shall know that I 
am the Lord, when I shall put my sword into 
the hand of the king of Bab'y-lon,_and he shall 
stretch it out upon 'the land of E'gypt. 

26 And I will scatter the E-gyp'tian§ among 
the nations, and disperse them among the coun- 
tries; and they shall know ^that I am the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER 31. 
1 The glory of Assyria, 10 and^the fall there- 
of for pride. 
1 *And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 
2 in the third month, in the first day of the 
month, that the Word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 



9:16.) And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch 
forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from 
among them. (Ex. 7:5.) 

i. And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches 
of secret places, that thou mayest know that I the Lord, which call thee 
by thy name, am the God of Israel. (Is. 45:3.) 

j. Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith 
the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and 
will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, 
and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy 
them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual 
desolations. (Jer. 25:9.) 

k. Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret 
unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7.) In that day shall thy 
mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be 
no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know 
that I am the Lord. (Ez. 24:27.) 

Chapter 30. 

a. The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: 
the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again 
of the mountains. (Ez. 7:7.) Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound 
an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land trem- 
ble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand. (Joel 2:1.) 

b. Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her 
foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the ven- 
geance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto 
her. (Jer. 50:15.) 

c. Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the 
rivers of Ethiopia: That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in ves- 
sels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a 



nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning 
hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers 
have spoiled! (Is. 18:1, 2.) 

d. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give the land 
of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her 
multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the 
wages for his army. (Ez. 29:19.) 

e. And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; 
and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of 
hosts. (Is. 19:4.) 

f. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, 
that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall 
no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the un- 
clean spirit to pass out of the land. (Zech. 13:2.) Thou shalt have none 
other gods before me. (Dt. 5:7.) 

g. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord up- 
holdeth the righteous. (Ps. 37:17.) 

h. And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the 
countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid 
waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians 
among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. (Ez. 
29:12.) 

i. Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of 
Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that 
seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebu- 
chadrezzar king of BabyloD, his enemy, and that sought his life. (Jer. 
44:30.)

wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps.

EZEKIEL 



B. C. 587 



_ 2 Son of man, speak unto Pha'raoh king of 
E'gypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou 
like in thy greatness? 

3 r Behold, the As-syr'i-an was a cedar in 
Leb'a-non a with fair branches, and with a 
shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and 
his top was among the thick boughs. 

4 The waters made him great, the deep set 
him up on high with her rivers running round 
about his plants, and sent out her little rivers 
unto all the trees of the field. 

5 Therefore his height was exalted above all 
the trees of the field, and his boughs were 
multiplied, and his branches became long be- 
cause of the multitude of waters, when he 
shot forth. 

6 All the 6 fowls of heaven made their nests 
in his boughs, and under his branches did all 
the beasts of the field bring forth their young, 
and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. 

7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the 
length of his branches: for his root was by 
great waters. 

8 The cedars in the c garden of God could 
not hide him: the fir trees were not like his 
boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like 
his branches; nor any tree in the garden of 
God was like unto him in his beauty. 

9 I have made him fair by the multitude of 
his branches: so that all the trees of E'den, 
that were in the garden of God, envied him. 

10 ""Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and 
he hath shot up his top among the thick 
boughs, and 'mis heart is lifted up in his 
height; 

11 I have therefore delivered him into the 
hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he 
shall surely deal with him: I have driven him 
out for his wickedness. 

12 And strangers, the terrible of the na- 
tions, have cut him off, and have left him: 
upon the mountains and in all the valleys his 
branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken 
by all the rivers of the land; and all the people 
of the earth are gone down from his shadow, 
and have left him. 

13 c Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the 
heaven remain, and all the beasts of the 
field shall be upon his branches: 

14 To the end that none of all the trees by 
the waters exalt themselves for their height, 
neither shoot up their top among the thick 
boughs, neither their trees stand up in their 
height, all that drink water: for they are all 
delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the 
earth, in the midst of the children of men, 
with them that go down to the pit. 

1-5 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day 
when he went down to the grave I caused a 
mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I 
restrained the floods thereof, and the great , 



3. The king was so great that the 
mention of his name would cause fear 
and trembling: yet. like all the other 
seorners of Jehovah's people, he was 
to be cast into the pit.

1. This ch. contains two elegies 
over the great Pharaoh, delivered

hoiachin.

waters were stayed: and I caused Leb'a-non to 
mourn for him, and all the trees of the field 
fainted for him. 

16 I made the nations to ^shake at the 
sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell 
with them that descend into the pit: and all 
the trees of E'den, the choice and best of Leb'- 
a-non, all that drink water, shall be comforted 
in the nether parts of the earth. 

17 They also went down into hell with him 
unto them that be slain with the sword; and 
they that were his arm, that ^dwelt under his 
shadow in the midst of the heathen. 

18 r To whom art thou thus like_ in glory 
and in greatness among the trees of E'den? yet 
shalt thou be brought down with the trees of 
E'den unto the nether parts of the earth : thou 
shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised 
with them that be slain by the sword. This 
A is 3 Pha'raoh and all his multitude, saith the 
Lord God. 

CHAPTER 32. 
A lamentation for the fearful fall of Egypt. 

1 \And it came to pass in the twelfth year, 
in the twelfth month, in the first day of the 
month, that the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for 
Pha'raoh king of E'gypt, and say unto him, 
"Thou art like a young lion of the nations, 
and thou art as a 6 whale in the seas: and thou 
earnest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst 
the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their 
rivers. 

3 Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore 
spread out my net over thee with a company 
of many people; and they shall bring thee up 
in my net. 

4 Then "will I leave thee upon the land, I 
will cast thee forth upon the open field, and 
will cause all the fowls of the heaven to re- 
main upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of 
the whole earth with thee. 

5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the moun- 
tains, and fill the valleys with thy height. 

6 I will also water with thy blood the 2 land 
wherein thou swimmest, even to the moun- 
tains; and the rivers shall be full of thee. 

7 And when I shall put thee out, d I will 
cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof 

dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and 
the moon shall not give her light. 

8 All the bright lights of heaven will I 
make dark over thee, and set darkness upon 
thy land, saith the Lord God. 

9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, 
when I shall bring thy destruction among the 
nations, into the countries which thou hast 
not known. 

10 Yea, I will make many people amazed 



stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of 
Israel from among them. (Ex. 7:5.) 
Chapter 31. 

a. Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in 
Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and 
I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the 
days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their 
children. (Dt. 4:10.) 

b. In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it 
shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and 
under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the 
branches thereof shall they dwell. (Ez. 17:23.) The leaves thereof were 
fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts 
of the field had shadow under it. and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in 
the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. (Dan. 4:12.) 

c. The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle 
the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and 
the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not 
profit. (Jer. 2:8.) This evil people, which refused to hear my words, 
which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, 
to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which 
is good for nothing. (Jer. 13:10.) 

d. But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in 
pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory 
from him. (Dan. 5:20.) 

e. They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and 



to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and 
all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. (Is. 1S:C.) 

f. Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus: Shall not the isles shake at the 
sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made 
in the midst of thee? (Ez. 26:15.) 

g. The treath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, was taken 
in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among 
the heathen. (Lam. 4:20.) 

h. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted 
in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wicked- 
ness. (Ps. 52:7.) 

Chapter 32. 

a. And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, 
and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men (3). And he went up 
and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch 
the prey, and devoured men. (Ez. 19:3, 6.) 

b. In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword 
shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked 
serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. (Is. 27:1.) 

c. And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the 
fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields: thou shalt not 
be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the 
beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven. (Ez. 29:5.) 

d. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not 
give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the 
moon shall not cause her light to shine. (Is. 13:10.) The sun shall be

f at thee, and their kings shall be horribly 
afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my 
sword before them; and r they shall tremble at 
every moment, every man for his own life, 
in the day of thy fall. 

11 IFor thus saith the Lord God; The 
sword of the king of Bab'y-lon shall come 
jpon thee. 

12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause 
thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the na- 
tions, all of them : and they shall spoil the 
pomp of E'gypt, and all the multitude thereof 
shall be destroyed. 

13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof 
from beside the great waters; neither shall 
the foot of man trouble them any more, nor 
the hoofs of beasts trouble them. 

14 Then will I make their waters deep, and 
cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the 
Lord God. 

15 When I shall make the land of E'gypt; 
desolate, and the country shall be destitute of 
that whereof it was full, when I shall smite 
all them that dwell therein, then shall they 
know sthat I am the Lord. 

16 This is the ^lamentation wherewith they 
shall lament her: the daughters of the na- 
tions shall lament her: they shall lament for 
her, even for E'gypt, and for all her multi- 
tude, saith the Lord God. 

17 r It came to pass also in the twelfth year, 
in the fifteenth day of the month, that the 
word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

18 Son of man,, wail for the multitude of 
E'gypt, and 'cast them down, even her, and the 
daughters of the famous nations, unto the 
nether parts of the earth, with them that go 
down into the pit. 

19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? ^'go 
down, and be thou laid with the uncircum- 
cised. 

20 They shall fall in the midst of them that 
are slain by the sword: she is delivered to 
the sword: draw her and all her multitudes. 

21 The strong 4 among the mighty shall speak 
to him out of the midst of hell with them that 
help him: they are gone down, they lie uncir- 
cumcised, slain by the sword. 

22 As'shur is there and all her company: 
his graves are about him: all of them slain, 
fallen by the sword: 

23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the 
pit, and her company is round about her grave : 
all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which 
caused terror in the land of the living. 

24 There is E'Jam and all her multitude 
round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen 
by the sword, which are gone down uncircum- 
cised into the nether parts of the earth, which 
caused their terror in the land of the living; 
yet have they borne their shame with them 
that go down to the pit. 

25 They have set her a bed in the midst of 
the slain with all her multitude: her graves

are round about him: all of them uncircum- 
cised, slain by the sword: though their terror 
was caused in the land of the living, yet have 
they borne their shame with them that go down 
to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that 
be slain. 

26 There is Me'shech, Tu/bal, and all her 
multitude: her graves are round about him: 
all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, 
though they caused their terror in the Ian J 
of the living. 

27 And they shall not lie with the mighty 
that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are 
gone down to hell with their weapons of war: 
and they have laid their swords under their 
heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their 
bones, though they were the . terror of the 
mighty in the land of the living. 

28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst 
of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them 
that are slain with the sword. 

29 There is E'dom, her kings, and all her 
princes, which with their might are laid by 
them that were slain by the sword: they shall 
lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that 
go down to the pit. 

30 There 7 '"be the princes of the north, all of 
them, and all the Zi-d5'ni-an§, which are gone 
down with the slain; with their terror they 
are ashamed of their might; and they lie un- 
circumcised' with them that be slain by the 
sword, and bear their shame with them that 
go down to the pit. 

31 Pha'raoh shall see them, and shall be 
'comforted over all his multitude, even Pha.'- 
ra5h and all his army slain by the sword, saith 
the Lord God. 

32 For I have caused my terror in the land 
of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst 
of the uncircumcised with them that are slain 
with the sword, even Pha'raoh and all his mul- 
titude, saith the Lord God.

2 Son of man, speak to °the children of thy 
people, and say unto them, When I bring the 
sword upon a land, if the people of the land 
take a man of their coasts, and set him for 
their watchman : 

3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the 
land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the 
people; 

4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the 
trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword 
come, and take him away, 6 his blood shall be 
upon his own head. 

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and 
took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. 
But he that taketh warning shall deliver his 
soul.

e. All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and 
their kings shall be sore af"aid, they shall be troubled in their coun- 
tenance. (Ez. 27:35.) 

f. Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their 
thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their hroidered garments: 
they shall clothe themselves with trembling: they shall sit upon the 
ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.

g. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps.

forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from 
among them. (Ex. 7:5.) 

h. And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over 
Jonathan his son. (II Sam. 1:17.) And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; 
and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their 
lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, 
behold, they are written in the Lamentations. (II Chr. 35:25.) 

i. "When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, 
with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the

(Ez. 26:20.) 

j. But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: 
they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither 
did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury 
upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land 
of Egypt. (Ez. 20 :S.) Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines 
have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful 
heart, to destroy it for the old hatred. (Ez. 25:15.) 

k. Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north 
quarters, and all his bands; and many people with thee (6). And thou 
shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people 
with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a 
mighty army. (Ez. 38:6, 15.) 

Chapter 33. 

a. And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of 
thy people, and speak unto them; and tell them. Thus saith the Lord 
God, Whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear. (Ez. 3:11.) 
And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt 
thou not show us what thou meanest by these? (Ez. 37:18.) 

b. Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he 
then live? he shall not live:- he hath done all these abominations; he 
shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. (Ez. 18:13.)

6 But if the watchman see the sword come, 
c and blow not the trumpet, and the people be 
not warned; if the sword come, and take any 
person from among them, he is taken away in 
his iniquity; but his blood will I require at 
the watchman's hand. 

7 H 2 So d thou, son of man, I have set thee 
a watchman unto the house of Is'ra-el; there- 
fore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, 
and warn them from me. 

8 When I say unto the wicked, e O wicked 
man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not 
speak to warn the wicked from his way, that 
wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his 
blood will I require at thine hand. 

9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of 
his way to turn from it; if he Mo not turn 
from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but 
thou hast delivered thy soul. 

10 Therefore, thou son of man, speak 
unto the house of Is'ra-el; Thus ye speak, say- 
ing, If our transgressions and our sins be 
upon us, and we pine away in them, how should 
we then live? 

11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord 
God, #1 have no pleasure in the death of the 
wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way 
and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; 
for ''why will ye die, O house of Is'ra-el? 

12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the 
children of thy people, The 'righteousness of 
the righteous shall not deliver him in the day 
of his transgression : as for the wickedness of 
the wicked, -'he shall not fall thereby in the 
day that he turneth from his wickedness; nei- 
ther shall the righteous be able to live for. his 
righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 

13 When I shall say to the righteous, that 
he shall surely live; if he trust to his own 
righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his 
righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but 
for his iniquity that he hath committed, he 
shall die for it. 

14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou 
shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and 
do that which is lawful and right; 

15 If the wicked '''restore the pledge, give 
again that he had robbed, walk in the 'stat- 
utes of life, without committing iniquity; he 
shall surely live, he shall not die. 

16 None '"of his sins that he hath commit- 
ted shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done 
that which is lawful and right; he shall surely 
live. 

17 T[ Yet the children of thy people say, The 
way 3 of the Lord is not equal : but as for them, 
their way is not equal. 



2. Vs. 7-20 lay down the principles 
of God's moral government. 



That is, the Lord's way of do- 
things in his moral government. 



4. A year and a half after the cap- 
ture of the city. Some think as tho 
words for 11 and 12 are so nearly 
alike, that the manuscript really read. 
"11th year," although the messen- 
ger may have been a year and a half 
on the way, being compelled to travel 
slowly and secretly because of the 
enemy. Plumptre suggests that the 
one who escaped was Baruch, the as- 
sistant prophet to Jeremiah. 



5. In vs. 23-29 the news of the 
complete destruction of the holy city 
has utterly paralyzed and confounded 
the captives. 



6. In vs. 30-33 profound reverence 
and attention now are seen to be 
given to Ez. because of the startling 
fulfillment of his last prophecy. 



18 When the righteous turneth from his 
righteousness, and "committeth iniquity, he 
shall even die thereby. 

19 But if the wicked turn from his wicked- 
ness, and do that which is lawful and right, 
he shall live thereby. 

20 % Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is 
not equal. O ye house of Is'ra-el, I will judge 
you every one after his ways. 

21 H 4 And it came to pass in the twelfth year 
of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the 
fifth day of the month, that one that had es- 
caped out of Je-ru'sa-lem came unto me, say- 
ing, The city is smitten. 

22 Now the hand of the Lord was upon me 
in the evening, afore he that was escaped 
came; and had opened my mouth, until he 
came to me in the morning; and my mouth 
was opened, and I was no more dumb. 

23 s Then the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

24 Son of man, they that inhabit those 
wastes of the land of Is'ra-el speak, saying, 
A'bra-ham "was one, and he inherited the land: 
but we are many; the land is given us for 
inheritance. 

25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up 
your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: 
and shall ye possess the land? 

26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work 
abomination, and ye defile every one his neigh- 
bour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? 

27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God; As I live, surely they that are in 
the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him 
that is in the open field Pwill I give to the 
beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the 
forts and in the caves shall die of the pesti- 
lence. 

28 For c Jl will lay the land most desolate, 
and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and 
the mountains of Is'ra-el shall be desolate, that 
none shall pass through. 

29 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, 
when I have laid the land most desolate be- 
cause of all their abominations which they 
have committed. 

30 If "Also, thou son of man, the children of 
thy people still are talking against thee by 
the walls and in the doors of the houses, and 
speak 'one to another, every one to his brother, 
saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is 
the word that cometh forth from the Lord. 

31 And they come unto thee as the people 
cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, 
and they hear thy words, but they will not do 



c. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb 
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. (Is. 
56:10.) 

d. Son ' of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of 
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning 
from me. (Ez. 3:17.) I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon 
the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what 
1 shall answer when I am reproved. (Hab. 2:1.) 

e. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the reward 
of his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) ' 

f. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not 
himself, neither (lid according to his will, shall be beaten with many 
stripes. (Luke 12:47.) 

g. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men 
count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any 
should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Pet. 3:9.) 

h. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have 
transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will 
ye die, O house of Israel? (Ez. 18:31.) 

i. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, 
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall 
d'e: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, 
and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but 
lis blood will I require at thine hand. (Ez. 3:20.) 

j. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble them- 
lyes, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; 
then wi'l I hea>- from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal 
their land. (II Chr. 7:14.) 

k. And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his 
pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hun- 
gry, and hath covered the naked with a garment. (Ez. 18:7.) 

I. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments; which 
if a man do, be shall live in (hem: I am the Lord. (Lev. 18:5.) There- 
fore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them:' I am the Lord. 



(Lev. 22:31.) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my 
commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) 

m. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not he 
mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall 
live. (Ez. 18:22.) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: 
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though 
they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Is. 1:18.) I, even I, 
am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will 
not remember thy sins. (Is. 43:25.) 

n. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, 
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall 
die; because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, 
and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but 
his blood will I require at thine hand. (Ez. 3:20.) But when the right- 
eous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and 
doeth according to all the abominations that, the wicked man doeth, shall 
he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: 
in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath 
sinned, in them shall he die. (Ez. 18:24.) 

o. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: 
for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. (Is. 51:2.) 
And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his 
foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, 
and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. (Acts 7:5.) 

p. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy 
hands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the 
ravenous bitds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be de- 
voured. (Ez. 39:4.) 

q. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; ye have seen 
all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities 
of Judah ; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man 
dwelleth therein. (Jer. 44:2.) 

r. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near 
me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have re-

them: for with their mouth they shew much 
love, but their heart goeth after their covet- 
ousness. 

32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very 
lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, 
and can play well on an instrument: for they 
Jhear thy words, but they do them not. 

33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will 
come,) then shall they know that a prophet 
hath been among them. 

CHAPTER 34. 
1 A reproof of the shepherds. 7 God's judg- 
ment against them. 11 God's providence for 
his flock. 20 The kingdom of Christ. 

1 *And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, prophesy against the shep- 
herds of Is'ra-el, prophesy, and say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; 
a Woe be to the shepherds of Is'ra-el that do 
feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed 
the flocks? 

3 Ye 6 eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the 
wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed 
not the flock. 

4 c The diseased have ye not strengthened, 
neither have ye healed that which was sick, 
neither have ye bound up that which was bro- 
ken, neither have ye brought again that which 
was driven away, neither have ye sought d that 
which was lost; but with force and with cru- 
elty have ye ruled them. 

5 And they were scattered, because there is 
no shepherd: and they became meat to all the 
beasts of the field, when they were scattered, 

6 My sheep wandered through all the moun- 
tains, and upon every high hill : yea, my flock 
was scattered upon all the face of the earth, 
and none did search or seek after them. 

7 If Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word 
of the Lord; 

8 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely be- 
cause my flock became a prey, and my flock 
became meat to every beast of the field, be- 
cause there was no shepherd, neither did my 
shepherds search for my flock, but the shep- 
herds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 

9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word 
of the Lord; 

10 Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am 
against the shepherds; and C I will require my 
flock at their hand, and cause them to cease 
from feeding the flock; neither shall the shep- 
herds feed themselves any more; for I will 
deliver my flock from their mouth, that they 
may not be meat for them. 

11 1f 2 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek 
them out. 

12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in 



Ch. 34. B. C. 587. 



1. In this eh. the prophet deals out 
severe reproofs against the false shep- 
herds who have sought to appease and 
comfort the people, rather than per- 
suade them to cease from their evil 
ways and turn to Jehovah ; the promise 
of the true shepherd is also made. 



2. In vs. 31-16 we are told that Je- 
hovah himself is the good shepherd, 
and that he will keep, protect and 
care for his own and bring them all 
back to their home land, save those 
who have fatted themselves on their 
brother's calamities, whom he will 
feed in judgment. 



3. In vs. 17-22 it is declared the 
good shepherd will not allow the 
crowd of rams and he-goats (priests 
and prophets) to feed mercilessly on 
the weak people. 



4. In vs. 23-31 is repeated the 
promise of the Messiah. 



the day that he is among his sheep that are 
scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and 
will deliver them out of all places where they 
have been scattered in the cloudy and dark 
day. 

13 And fl will bring them out from the 
people, and gather them from the countries, 
and will bring them to their own land, and 
feed them upon the mountains of Is'ra-el by 
the *rivers, and in all the inhabited places of 
the country. 

14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and 
upon the high mountains of Is'ra-el shall their 
fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, 
and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the 
mountains of Is'ra-el. 

15 I will feed my flock, and I will causa 
them to lie down, saith the Lord God. 

16 #1 will seek that which was lost, and 
bring again that which was driven away, and 
will bind up that which was broken, and will 
strengthen that which was sick: but I will 
destroy the fat and^ the strong; I will feed 
them with judgment/ 

17 3 And as for you, my flock, thus saith 
the Lord God; 7t Behold, I judge between cat- 
tle and cattle, between the rams and the he 
goats. 

18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to 
have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must 
tread down with your feet the residue of your 
pastures? and to have drunk of the deep wa- 
ters, but ye must foul the residue with your 
feet? 

19 And as for my flock, they eat that which 
ye have trodden with your feet; and they 
drink that which ye have fouled with your 
feet. 

20 1f Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto 
them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the 
fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 

21 Because ye have thrust with side and 
with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased 
with your horns, till ye have scattered them 
abroad ; 

22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they 
shall no more be a prey; and I will judge be- 
tween cattle and cattle. 

23 i And I will set up one shepherd over 
them, and he shall feed them, l even my servant 
Dd'vid; he shall feed them, and he shall be 
their shepherd. 

24 And I the Lord will be their God, and 
my servant Dd'vid a prince among them; I 
the Lord have spoken it. 

25 And I will make with them a covenant of 
peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease 
out of the land: and they J shall divell safely 
in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 

26 And I will make them and the places 
round about hny hill a blessing; and I will 



moved their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by 
the precept of men. (Is. 29:13.) 
Chapter 34. 

a. Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my 
pasture! saith the Lord. (Jer. 23:1.) 

b. Yea, they are greedy dogs "which can never have enough, and 
they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own 
way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. (Is. 56:11.) 

e. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not 
visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal 
that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still; but he shall eat 
the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. (Zech. 11:16.) And the 
servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt 
to teach, patient. (II Tim. 2:24.) 

d. What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of 
them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after 
that which is lost, until he find it? (Luke 15:4.) 

e. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou 
givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his 
wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his in- 
iquity.; but his blood will I require at thine hand. (Bz. 3:18.) Obey them 
that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for 
your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with 
joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. (Heb. 13:17.) 

f. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an 
inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my 



servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the 
valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that 
have sought me. (Is. 65:9, 10.) And I will gather the remnant of my 
flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring 
them, again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. (Jer. 
23:3.) 

g. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. (Mat. 
18:11.) 

h. Mine anger was kindled against the sher-herds, and I punished 
the goats; for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of 
Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. (Zech. 
10:3.) And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall sep- 
arate them one from another, as the shepherd divideth his sheep from 
the goats. (Mat. 25:32.) 

i. But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, 
whem I will raise up unto them. (Jer. 30:9.) Afterward shall the chil- 
dren of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their 
king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days. (Hos. 
3:5.) 

j. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto 
David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall 
execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Jer. 23:5.) 

k. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them 
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices 
shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an 
house of prayer for all people. (Is. 56:7.)

cause the shower to come down in his season; 
there shall be 'showers of blessing. 

2, And the tree of the field shall yield her 
fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, 
and they shall be safe in their land, and shall 
know that I am the Lord, when I have "'broken 
the bands of their yoke, and delivered them 
out of the hand of those that "served them- 
selves of them. 

28 And they shall no more be a prey to the 
heathen, neither shall the beast of the land 
devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and 
none shall make them afraid. 

29 And I will raise up for them a jilant of 
renown, and they shall be no more consumed 
with hunger in the land, neither bear the 
shame of the heathen any more. 

30 Thus shall they rj know that I the Lord 
their God am with them, and that they, even 
the house of Is'ra-el, are my people, saith the 
Lord God. 

31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, 
are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord 
God. 

CHAPTER 35. 

The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred 

of Israel. 

1 '-Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

2 Son of man, set thy face against mount 
Se'ir, and ''prophesy against it, 

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God ; 
Behold, mount Se'ir, I am against thee, and 
T will stretch out mine hand against thee, and 
I will make thee most desolate. 

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt 
be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the 
Lord. 

5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, 
and hast shed the blood of the children of Is'- 
ra-el by the force of the sword in the time of 
their calamity, Mn the time that their ^niquity 
had an end: 

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, 
I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall 
pursue thee: °sith thou hast not hated blood, 
even blood shall pursue thee. 

7 Thus will I make mount Se'ir most deso- 
late, and cut off from it him that passeth out 
and him that returneth. 

8 And I will fill his mountains with his 
slain men : in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and 
in all thy rivers, shall thes^ fall that are slain 
with the sword. 

9 d I will make thee perpetual desolations, 
and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall 
know c that I am the Lord. 

10 Because thou hast said, These two na- 
tions and these two countries shall be mine, 
and we will possess it; 'whereas the Lord was 
there: 



Ch. 35. B. C. 587. 



1. In this oh. is pronounced the 
judgment on Edom: the beginning of 
the humiliation and downfall of those 
who have been preying on Israel. 



2. That is. Idnmea. (Is. 36:9) — 
"And these are the generations of 
Esau, the father of the Edomiies in 
mount Seir." Thus Edom. the very 
center of the bitterest enmity of the 
chosen people, is the ideal place of 
judgment upon those who are enemies 
of- God's people. 



3. That is. their iniquity reached 
its consummation when it exulted 
over Jerusalem's downfall and assist- 
ed the enemy to destroy it. (Ps. 137: 
7) — "Remember. () Lord, the children 
of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, 
who said. Rase it. rase it. even to 
the foundation thereof." 



Ch. 36. B. C. 587. 



1. In ch. 36. Israel had been 
avenged of her foes, then restored 
both to inward holiness and outward 
prosperity. 



The land of Israel. 



11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I 
will even do ^according to thine anger, and 
according to thine envy which thou hast used 
out of thy hatred against them; and I wil] 
make myself known f among them, when I have 
judged thee. 

12 And 'thou shalt know that I am the Lord, 
and that I have heard all thy blasphemies 
which thou hast spoken against the mountains 
of Is'ra-el, saying, They are laid desolate, they 
are given us to consume. 

13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted 
against me, and have multiplied your words 
against me: I have heard them. 

14 Thus saith the Lord God; 'When the 
whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee deso- 
late. 

15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance 
of the house of Is'ra-el, because it was deso- 
late, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be deso- 
late, mount Se'ir, and all I-du-me'a, even 
all of it: and they shall know that I am the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER 36. 
1 The land of Israel is comforted, both by 
destruction of the heathen, 8 and by the 
promised blessings of God. 

1 Mlso, thou son of man, prophesy unto the 
mountains -of Is'ra-el, and say, Ye mountains 
of Is'ra-el, hear the word of the Lord: 

2 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the 
enenry hath said against you, Aha, even the 
ancient high places are our's in possession: 

3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith 
the Lord God; Because they have made you 
desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, 
that ye might be a possession unto the residue 
of the heathen, and a ye are taken up in the 
lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the 
people: 

4 Therefore, ye mountains of is'ra-el, hear 
the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the 
Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, 
to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the deso- 
late wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, 
which became a prey and derision to the resi- 
due of the heathen that are round about; 

5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Surely 
in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken 
against the residue of the heathen, and against 
all I-du-me'a, which have appointed my land 
into their possession with the joy of all their 
heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for 
a prey. 

6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of 
Is'ra-el, and say unto the mountains, and to 
the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, 
Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spo- 
ken in my jealousy and in my fury, because 
ye have ''borne the shame of the heathen: 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I have 



1. Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, •whereby thou didst 
confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. (Ps. 68:9.) Bring ye all 
ihe tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, 
and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open 
you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall 
not be room enough to receive it. (Mai. 3:10.) 

m. For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands: 
and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and 
under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. (Jer. 2:20.) 

n. For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them 
also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according 
to the works of their own hands. (Jer. 25:14.) 

o. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am 
not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that 
he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that 
day. (II Tim. 1:12.) 

Chapter 35. 

a. Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no 
more in Teman ? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom 
vanished? (Jer. i'.r.'.t 

b. Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; 
■who said. Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. (Ps. 137:7.1 
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, 
to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make 
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and 

-il up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. (Dan. 
- 



c. As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him; as he delighted not 
in blessing, so let it be far from him. (Ps. 109:17.) 

d. Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall 
be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. (Jer. 49 : 1 1 . ) 

e. The Lord is known by the judgment which he exeeuteth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch 
forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from 
among them. (Ex. 7:5.) 

f. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our 
God, in the mountain of his holiness (1). God is known in her palaces 
for a refuge. (Ps. 4S:1. 3.) 

g. Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye 
judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be 
measured to you again. (Mat. 7:1, 2.) 

h. With my soul have I desired thee in the night: yea, with my 
spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in 
the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. (Is. 
26:9.) 

i. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat, 
but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall 
be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed.

•"lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that 
are about you, they shall bear their shame. 

8 r But ye, mountains of Is'ra-el, ye shall 
shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit 
to my people of Is'ra-el; for they are at hand 
to come. 

S For, behold, I am for you, and d I will 
turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and 
sown: 

10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the 
house of Is'ra-el, even all of it: and the cities 
shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be 
builded : 

11 And I will multiply upon you man and 
beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: 
and I will settle you after your old estates, 
and will do better unto you than at your be- 
ginnings: and ye shall know that I am the 
Lord. 

12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, 
even my people Is'ra-el ; and they shall possess 
thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and 
thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of 
men. 

13 Thus saith the Lord God; Because they 
say unto you, f Thou land devourest up men, 
and hast bereaved thy nations; 

14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no 
more, neither bereave thy nations any more, 
saith the Lord God. 

15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee 
the shame of the heathen any more, neither 
shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any 
more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to 
fall any more, saith the Lord God. 

16 1 ^Moreover the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

17 Son of man, when the house of Is'ra-el 
dwelt in their own land, ^they denied it by 
their own way and by their doings: their way 
was before me as ^the uncleanness of a re- 
moved woman. 

18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them 
''for the blood that they had shed upon the 
land, and for their idols wherewith they had 
polluted it: 

19 And I scattered them among the heathen, 
and they were dispersed through the coun-

of the uncleanness of Israel and her 
efforts at excusing herself rather than 
repenting and purifying herself, all 
the time claiming allegiance to Jeho- 
vah, yet honoring idols. (Ez. 14:7.)

tries: according to their way and according to 
their doings I judged them. 

20 And when they entered unto the heathen, 
whither they went, they 'profaned my holy 
name, when they said to them, These are the 
people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of 
his land. 

21 1f But I had pity Jfor mine holy name, 
which the house of Is'ra-el had profaned 
among the heathen, whither they went. 

22 Therefore say unto the house of Is'ra-el, 
Thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for 
your sakes, house of Is'ra-el, ''but for mine 
holy name's sake, which ye have profaned 
among the heathen, whither ye went. 

23 And I will 4 sanctify 'my great name, 
which was profaned among the heathen, which 
ye have profaned in the midst of them; and 
the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, 
saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified 
in you before their eyes. 

24 For m I will take you' from among the 
heathen, avid gather you out of all countries, 
and will bring you into your own land. 

25 11 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon 
you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthi- 
ness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse 
you. 

26 A *new "heart also will I give you, and a 
new spirit will I put within you: and I will 
take away the stony heart out of your flesh, 
and I will give you an heart of flesh. 

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and 
cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall 
keep my judgments, and do them. 

28 And °ye shall dwell in the land that I 
gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my 
people, and I will be your God.

cleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and 
will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. 

30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, 
and the increase of the field, that ye shall re- 
ceive no more reproach of famine among the 
heathen. 

31 Then ^shall ye remember your own evil 
ways, and your doings that were not good, 
and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight 
for your iniquities and for your abominations. 



exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the 
scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. 
(Ps. 123:3, 4.) 

c. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when 
I chose Israel and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of 
Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I 
lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the Lord your God. (Ez. 
20:5.) 

d. And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the 
Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; And the 
earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall 
hear Jezreel. And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have 
mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them 
which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, 
Thou art my God. (Hos. 2:21-23.) 

e. And they brought up an evil report of the lard which they had 
searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which 
we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants 
thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 
(Num. 13:32.) 

f. And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof 
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. (Lev. 18:25.) 

g. And if a woman having an issue, and her issue in her flesh be 
blood, she shall be put apart seven days; and whosoever toucheth her 
shall be unclean until the even. (Lev. 15:19.) 

h. Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy filthiness was poured out, 
and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, 
and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy 
children, which thou didst give unto them (36). And I will judge thee, 
as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will 
give thee blood in fury and jealousy. (Ez. 16:36, 38.) 

i. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people 
is taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to 
howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. 
(Is. 52:5.) For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles 
through you, as it is written. (Rom. 2:24.) 

j. But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted 
before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made my- 
self known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 
(Ez. 20:9.) 

k. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, 
dost thou go to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these na- 
tions the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that 
he may perform the word which the L,ord sware unto thy fathers, Abra- 



ham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Dt. 9:5.) -Nevertheless he saved them for his 
name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. (Ps. 
106:8.) 

1. I will accept you with your sweet savor, when I bring you out 
from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have 
been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. (Ez. 
20:41.) But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God, 
that is holy, shall be sanctified in righteousness. (Is. 5:16.) But sanctify 
the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to 
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with 
meekness, and fear. (I Pet. 3:15.) 

m. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them 
from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed 
them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited 
places of the country. (Ez. 34:13.) Fear not; for I am with thee: I will 
bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say 
to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons 
from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. (Is. 43:5, 6.) 

n. And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear 
me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them. 
(Jer. 32:39.) Create in me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right 
spirit within me. (Ps. 51:10.) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, 
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the 
kingdom of God (3). Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into 
the kingdom of God. (Jno. 3:3, 5.) Therefore, if any man be in Christ, 
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are 
become new. (II Cor. 5:17.) 

o. Thus saith the Lord God; When I shall have gathered the house 
of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be 
sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in 
their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. (Ez. 28:25.) 

p. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name 
JESUS; for he shall save his people from their sins. (Mat. 1:21.) Ac- 
cording to their uncleanness, and according to their transgressions, have 
I done unto them, and hid my face from them. (Ez. 39:24.) For I will 
cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in 
Zion. (Joel 3:21.) 

q. And they that escape of you shall remember me among the na- 
tions whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with 
their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, 
■which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves 
for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. (Ez. 
6:9.) And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings,

32 Not 'for your sakes do I this, saith the 
Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed 
and confounded for your own ways, house 
of Is'ra-e], 

33 Thus saith the Lord God ; In the day that 
I shall have cleansed you from all your in- 
iquities I will -'also cause you to dwell in the 
cities, and the wastes shall be builded. 

34 And the 'desolate land shall be tilled, 
whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that 
passed by. 

35 And they shall say, This land that was 
desolate is become like the garden of "E'den; 
and the waste and desolate and ruined cities 
are become fenced, and are inhabited. 

36 Then the heathen that are left round 
about you shall 'know that I the Lord 
build the ruined places, and plant that that 
was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and 
I will do it. 

37 Thus saith the Lord God; w l will yet for 
this be enquired of by the house of Is'ra-el, to 
do it for them; I will increase them with men 
like a flock. 

38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Je-ru'- 
sa-lem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste 
cities be filled with flocks of men: and they 
shall know that I am the Lord. 

CHAPTER 37. 
1 By the resurrection of dry bones, 11 the 
dead hope of Israel is revived. 20 The 
promises of Christ's kingdom. 

1 ^The hand of the Lord teas upon me, and 
carried me out <Hn the sjnrit of the Lord, and 
set me down in the midst of the valley which 
was full of bones, 

2 And caused me to pass by them round 
about: and, behold, there were very many in 
the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can 
these bones live? And I answered, Lord God, 
thou knowest. 

4 Again he said unto me, ^Prophesy upon 
these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry 
bones, hear the word of the Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; 
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, 
and ye shall live: 

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will 
bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with 
skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; 
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and 
as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold 
a shaking, and the bones came together, bone 
to his bone. 

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sineivs and the 
flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered 
them above: but there was no breath in them. 



Ch. 37. B. C. 587. 



1. In ch. 37 is recorded one of the 
most wonderful visions of the Old 
Testament. The people were possessed 
with the gloom of hopeless despair. 
For 150 years Israel had been wither- 
ing under the power of Assyrian 
bondage. At this time appears the 
vision of the dead and dry bones. The 
prophet, inspired with prophetic im- 
pulse from heaven, cried unto the 
bones before him, "0 bones, hear the 
word of the Lord," when a mysterious 
noise as of a groaning earthquake 
seemed to rend the air. and the proph- 
et was confronted with the terrifying 
sight of seeing the dislocated dry 
bones each rushing toward its fellow 
until they all came together and 
were covered with flesh and became 
again the organs of life, thus symbol- 
izing the death and resurrection of Is- 
rael. 



9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the 
wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the 
wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from 
the four winds, 0, breath, and breathe upon 
these slain, that they may live. 

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, 
and the breath came into them, and they lived, 
and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding 
great army. 

11 If Then he said unto me, Son of man, 
these bones are the whole house of Is'ra-el: 
behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our 
hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, my peo- 
ple, I will open your graves, and cause you to 
come up out of your graves, and bring you 
into the land of Is'ra-el. 

13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, 
when I have opened your graves, my people, 
and brought you up out of your graves, 

14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye 
shall live, and I shall place you in your own 
land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have 
spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord. 

15 1f The word of the Lord came again unto 
me, saying, 

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee 
one stick, and write upon it, For Ju'dah, and 
for c the children of Is'ra-el his companions: 
then take another stick, and write upon it, For 
Joseph, the stick of E'phra-im, and for all the 
house of Is'ra-el his companions: 

17 And join them one to another into one 
stick; and they shall become one in thine 
hand. 

18 11 And when the children of thy people 
shall speak unto thee, saying, d Wilt thou not 
shew us what thou meanest by these? 

19 Say c unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I will take the stick of Jb'seph, 
which is in the hand of E'phra-im, and the 
tribes of Is'ra-el his fellows, and will put them 
with him, even with the stick of Ju'dah, and 
make them one stick, and they shall be one in 
mine hand. 

20 If And the sticks whereon thou writest 
shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I will take the children of Is'- 
ra-el from among the heathen, whither they 
be gone, and will gather them on every side, 
and bring them into their own land: 

22 And H will make them one nation in the 
land upon the mountains of Is'ra-el; and one 
king shall be king to them all: and they shall 
be no more two nations, neither shall they be 
divided into two kingdoms any more at all: 

23 Neither Qshall they defile themselves any 
more with their idols, nor with their detestable 



wherein ye have been denied; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own 
sight for all your evils that ye have committed. (Ez. 20:43.) 

r. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, 
dost thou go to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these na- 
tions the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that 
he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abra- 
ham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Dt. 9:5.) 

s. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and 
whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he 
also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for 
us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but deliv- 
ered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us 
all things? (Rom. 8:30-32.) 

t. Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith 
the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and 
will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, 
and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, 
and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desola- 
tions. (Jer. 25:9.) 

u. For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste 
places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like 
the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanks- 
giving, and the voice of melody. (Is. 51:3.) 

v. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward f or^ the right- 
eous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. (Ps. 58:11.) And 
all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God: for they shall 
wisely consider of his doing. (Ps. 64:9.) 

w. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said 
not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak right- 
eousness, I declare things that are right (19). Thus saith the Lord, the 



Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come con- 
cerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands demand ye me. 
(Is. 45:19, 11.) 
Chapter 37. 

a. So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in 
bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong 
upon me. (Ez. 3:14.) And Jesus, being full of the Holy Ghost,' returned 
from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. (Luke 4:1.) 

b. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall 
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, 
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Is. 55:11.) So then 
faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Rom. 10:17.) 

c. And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with 
them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell 
to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God 
was with him. (II Chr. 15:9.) 

d. Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, 
said unto thee, What doest thou? (Ez. 12:9.) And the people said unto 
me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest 
so? (Ez. 24:19.) 

e. And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the 
house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have 
mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: 
for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them. (Zech. 10:G.) 

f. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of 
Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall 
not vex Ephraim. (Is. 11:13.) In those days the house of Judah shall 
walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the 
land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto 
your fathers. (Jer. 3:18.) 

g. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be

things, nor with any of their transgressions: 
but I will save them out of all their dwelling- 
places, wherein they have sinned, and will 
cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and 
I will be their God. 

24 And h Dd'vid my servant shall be king 
over them; and 'they all shall have one shep- 
herd: they shall also ivalk in my judgments, 
and observe my statutes, and do them. 

25 And they shall 'dwell in the land that I 
have given unto Ja'cob my servant, wherein 
your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell 
therein, even they, and their children, and 
their children's children for ever: and imy 
servant David shall be their prince for ever. 

26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace 
with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant 
with them: and I will place them, and multiply 
them, and will set my sanctuary in k the 7nidst 
of them for evermore. 

27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: 
yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my 
people. 

28 And the heathen shall know that I the 
Lord do sanctify Is'ra-el, when my sanctuary 
shall be in the midst of them for evermore. 

CHAPTER 38. 

1 The army of Gog. 14 God's judgment 

against him. 

1 'And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the 
land of Ma'gog, the chief prince of Me'shech 
and TuTtal, and prophesy against him, 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I am against thee, Gog, the chief prince 
of Me'shech and Tu'bal : 

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks 
into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, 
and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of 
them clothed with all sorts of armour, even 
a great company with bucklers and shields, 
all of them handling swords: 

5 Per'§ia, E-thl-o'pi-a, and Llb'y-a with 
them; all of them with shield and helmet: 

6 Go'mer, and all his bands; the house of 
To-gar'mah of the north quarters, and all his 
bands: and many people with thee. 

7 Be thou "prepared, and prepare for thy- 
self, thou, and all thy company that are as- 
sembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto 
them. 

8 If After many 6 days thou shalt be visited : 
in the latter years thou shalt come into the 
land that is brought back from the sword, and 
is gathered out of many people, against the 
mountains of Is'ra-el, which have been always 
waste: but it is brought forth out of the na- 
tions, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 

9 Thou shalt ascend and come c like a storm, 
thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, 
thou, and all thy bands, and many people with 
thee. 



Ch. 38. B. C. 587. 



1. "Ch. 38 contains the most dif- 
ficult prophecy in the Old Testament, 
difficult because we know not the king 
nor the people intended by it." (Adam 
Clark.) 

Again Clark claims that Gog was 
a hidden name for the Americans, and 
Meshech and Tubal for Turks or Chris- 
tians, although he receives but little 
support from other Biblical scholars. 
Dr. 'Cornill says, "No other ch. in 
Ez. is so shrouded in mystery." Many 
Heb. authorities claim Cyges, King 
of Lydia, was the original king of 
Gog, and that Magog, called "Land 
of Gog." was Lydia. Only one thing 
is certain and agreed upon by Biblical 
students regarding this prophecy, 
viz., it has not been and cannot be 
fulfilled literally, but must be consid- 
ered spiritually. 



10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also 
come to pass, that at the same time shall things 
come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an 
evil thought: 

11 And thou shalt say, d I will go up to the 
land of un walled villages; I will go to them 
that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them 
dwelling without walls, and having neither 
bars nor gates, 

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to 
turn thine hand upon the desolate places that 
are now inhabited, and upon the people that 
are gathered out of the nations, which have 
gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst 
of the land. 

13 She'ba, and De'dan, and the merchants 
of Tar'shish, with all c the young lions thereof, 
shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a 
spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take 
a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to 
take away cattle and goods, to take a great 
spoil? 

14 If Therefore, son of man, prophesy and 
say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In 
that day when my people of Is'ra-el dwelleth 
safely, shalt thou not know it? 

15 And thou shalt come from thy place out 
of the north parts, thou, and many people with 
thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great 
company, and a mighty army: 

16 And thou shalt come up against my peo- 
ple of Is'ra-el, as a cloud to cover the land; 
it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring 
thee against my land, ^that the heathen may 
know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, 
Gog, before their eyes. 

17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he 
of whom I have spoken in old time by my serv- 
ants the prophets of Is'ra-el, which prophe- 
sied in those days many years that I would 
bring thee against them? 

18 And it shall come to pass at the same 
time when Gog shall come against the land of 
Is'ra-el, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall 
come up in my face. 

19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my 
wrath have I spoken, Surely sin that day 
there shall be a great shaking in the land of 
Is'ra-el; 

20 So that Hhe fishes of the sea, and the 
fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the 
field, and all creeping things that creep upon 
the earth, and all the men that are upon the 
face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, 
and the mountains shall be thrown down, and 
the steep places shall fall, and every tvall shall 
fall to the ground. 

21 And I will call for a sword against him 
throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord 
God: every man's 'sword shall be against his 
brother. 

22 And I will plead against him with pesti- 
lence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, 
and upon his bands, and upon the many people 



clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 
(Ez. 36:25.) 

h. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather the lambs 
with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those 
that are with young. (Is. ^0:11.) Behold, the days come, saith the 
Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall 
reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 
(Jer. 23:5.) 

i. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I 
must bring, and they shall hear my voice. (Jno. 10:16.) 

j. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which 
should betray him. (Jno. 12:4.) 

k. Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David 
my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not 
fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; -yet so that 
thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast 
walked before me. (II Chr. 6:16.) 

Chapter 38. 

a. Associate yourselves, ye people, and ye shall be broken in 
pieces: and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye 
shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in 
pieces. (Is. 8:9.) 

b. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come 
upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, 
and shalt be obedient unto his voice. (Dt. 4:30.) 



c. Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a 
tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters over- 
flowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. (Is. 28:2.) 

d. Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without 
care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell 
alone. (Jer. 49:31.) 

e. And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, 
and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men (3). Now when she 
saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another 
of her whelps, and made him a young lion. (Bz. 19:3, 5.) 

f. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after 
them; and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that 
the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so. (Ex. 
14:4.) 

g. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, 
and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry 
land; And I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall 
come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. (Hag. 
2:6, 7.) 

h. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth 
therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field,, and with the fowls 
of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. (Hos. 4:3.) 

i. And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every 
man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify 
myself; and I will be known in the eyes of 
many nations, and they '■'shall know that I am

CHAPTER 39. 

1 God's judgment upon Gog. 8 Israel's 

victory. 

1 therefore, thou son of man, prophesy 
against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I am against thee, Gog, the 
chief prince of Me'shech and Tu'bal : 

2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but 
the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to 
come up from the north parts, and will bring 
thee upon the mountains of Is'ra-el : 

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left 
hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out 
of thy right hand. 

4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of 
is'ra-el, thou, and all thy bands, and the people 
that is with thee: a I will give thee unto the 
ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts 
of the field to be devoured. 

5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I 
have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 

6 And I will send a fire on Ma'gog, and 
among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: 
and they shall know that I am the Lord. 

7 So will I make my holy name known in 
the midst of my people Is'ra-el; and I will not 
let them ^pollute my holy name any more: and 
the heathen shall knew that I am the Lord, 
the Holy One in is'ra-el. 

8 ** Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith 
the Lord God; this is the day whereof C I have 
spoken. 

9 And they that dwell in the cities of is'- 
ra-el shall go forth, and shall set on fire and 
burn the weapons, both the shields and the 
bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the 
handstaves, and the spears, and they shall 
burn them with fire seven years: 

10 So that they shall take no wood out of 
the field, neither cut down any out of the for- 
ests; for they shall burn the weapons with 
fre: ^and they shall spoil those that spoiled 
them, and rob those that robbed them, saith 
the Lord God. 

11 If And it shall come to pass in that day. 
that I will give unto Gog a place there of 
graves in is'ra-el, the valley of the passengers 
on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the 
noses of the passengers: and there shall they 
bury Gog and all his multitude: and they 
shall call it The valley of Ha'mon-gog. 

12 And seven months shall the house of Is'-

ra-el be burying of them, that they may cleanse 
the land. 

13 Yea, all the people of the lantl shall bury 
them; and it shall be to them a renown the 
day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord 
God. 

14 And they shall sever out men of con- 
tinual employment, passing through the land 
to bury with the passengers those that remain 
upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after 
the end of seven months shall they search. 

15 And the passengers that pass through 
the land, w T hen any seeth a man's bone, then 
shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers 
have buried it in the valley of Ha'mon-gog. 

16 And also the name of the city shall be 
-Ha-m5'nah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 

17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the 
Lord God; Speak e unto every feathered fowl, 
and to every beast of the field, Assemble ' your- 
selves, and come; gather yourselves on every 
side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, 
even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of 
Is'ra-el, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 

18 sYe shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and 
drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of 
rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all 
of them ''failings of Bashan. 

19 And ye shall eat 3 fat till ye be full, and 
drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice 
which I have sacrificed for you. 

20 i Thus ye shall be filled at my table with 
horses and chariots, with mighty men, and 
with all men of war, saith the Lord God. 

21 And I will set my glory among the hea- 
then, and all the heathen shall see my judg- 
ment that I have executed, and l my hand that 
I have laid upon them. 

22 So the house of Is'ra-el shall know that 
I am the Lord their '"God from that day and 
forward. 

23 H And the heathen shall know that the 
house of Is'ra-el went into captivity for their 
iniquity: because they trespassed against me, 
therefore hid I my face from them, and igave 
them into the hand of their enemies: so fell 
they all by the sword. 

24 According to their uncleanness and ac- 
cording to their transgressions have I done 
unto them, and hid my face from them. 

25 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; k Now 
will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and 
have mercy upon the whole house of Is'ra-el, 
and will be jealous for my holy name; 

26 After that they have borne their shame, 
and all their trespasses whereby they have 
trespassed against me, ivhen they dwelt safely 
in their land, and none made them afraid. 

27 When l I have brought them again from 



host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, 
unto Tabbath. (Jud. 7:22.) 

j. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone 
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the 
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Rev. 
16:21.) 

k. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of nis own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch 
forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from 
among them. (Ex. 7:5.) 

Chapter 39. 

a. Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; As I live, 
surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that 
is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they 
that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. (Ez. 
33:27.) 

b. And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to 
Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. 
(Lev. 18:21.) 

c. Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken 
in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in 
those days many years that I would bring thee against them? (Ez. 
38:17.) 

d. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: 
and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for 
servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose cap- 
tives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. (Is. 14:2.) 

e. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a 
loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come 



and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God. (P^ev. 
19:17.) 

f. They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and 
to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and 
all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. (Is. 18:6.) Mine 
heritage is unto me as a speckled bird; the birds round about are against 
her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. 
(J6r. 12:9.) 

g. That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and 
the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit 
on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and 
great. (Rev. 19:18.) 

h. Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams 
of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and 
thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. (Dt. 32:14.) Many bulls 
have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. (Ps. 
22:12.) 

i. But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my 
hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the chil- 
dren of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. (Ex. 7:4.) 

j. And I will bring a swerd upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel 
of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, 
I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the 
hand of the enemy. (Lev. 26:25.) 

k. For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring again 
the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord: and I will 
cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they 
shall possess it. (Jer. 30:3.)

of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be

the people, and gathered them out of their ene- 
mies' la)ids, and am sanctified in them in the 
siglit of many nations; 

28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord 
their God, which caused them to be led into 
captivity among the heathen: but I have gath- 
ered them unto their own land, arid have left 
none of them any more there. 

29 Neither will I hide my face any more 
from them: for I have 'poured out my spirit 
upon the house of Is'ra-el, saith the Lord God. 

CHAPTER 40. 
The time, manner, a)id end of the vision. 

1 'In the five and twentieth year of our cap- 
tivity, in the "beginning of the year, in the 
tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year 
after that "the city was smitten, in the self- 
same day the hand of the Lord was upon me, 
and brought me thithei - . 

2 In the visions of God brought he me into 
the land of Is'ra-el, ft and set me upon a very 
= high mountain, by which was as the frame of 
a city on the south. 

3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, 
there was a *man, whose appearance was like 
c the appearance of brass, with a line of flax 
in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he 
stood in the gate. 

4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, 
behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine 
ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall 
shew thee; for to the extent that I might 
shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: 
d declare all that thou seest to the house of 
is'ra-el. 

5 And behold a wall on the outside of the 
house round about, and in the man's hand a 
measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit 
and an hand breadth : so he measured the 
breadth of the building, one reed; and the 
height, one reed. 

6 If Then came he unto the gate which look- 
eth toward the east, and went up the stairs 
thereof, and measured the threshold of the 
gate, which was one reed broad; and the 
threshold of the gate, which was one reed 
broad. 

7 And every little chamber was one reed 
long, and one reed broad; and between the 
little chambers were five cubits; and the 
threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate 
within was one reed. 

8 He measured also the porch of the gate 
within, one reed. 

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, 
eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cu- 
bits; and the porch of* the gate was inward. 

10 And the little chambers of the gate east- 
ward were three on this side, and three on 
that side; they three were of one measure: 
and the posts had one measure on this side and 
on that side. 

11 And he measured the breadth of the en- 
try of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of 
the gate, thirteen cubits.

was one cubit on this side, and the space was 
one cubit on that side: and the little cham- 
bers were six cubits on this side, and six cu- 
bits on that side. 

13 He measured then the gate from the roof 
of one little chamber to the roof of another : 
the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door 
against door. 

14 He made also c *posts of threescore cubits, 
even unto the post of the f court round about 
the gate. 

15 And from the face of the gate of the 
entrance unto the face of the porch of the in- 
ner gate were fifty cubits. 

16 And there were narrow windows to the 
little chambers, and to their posts within the 
gate round about, and likewise to the arches: 
and windows were round about inward : and 
upon each post were palm trees. 

17 5 Then brought he me into ffthe outward 
court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a 
pavement made for the court round about: 
''thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 

18 And the pavement by the side of the 
gates over against the length of the gates was 
the lower pavement. 

19 Then he measured the breadth from the 
forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront 
of the inner court without, an hundred cubits 
eastward and northward. 

20 If And the gate of the outward court that 
looked toward the north, he measured the 
length thereof, and the breadth thereof. 

21 And the little chambers thereof were 
three on this side and three on that side; and 
the posts thereof and the arches thereof were 
after the measure of the first gate: the length 
thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five 
and twenty cubits. 

22 And their windows, and their arches, and 
their palm trees, were after the measure of 
the gate that looketh toward the east; and 
they went up unto it by seven steps; and the 
arches thereof were before them. 

23 And the. gate of the inner court was over 
against the gate toward the north, and to- 
ward the east; and he measured from gate to 
gate an hundred cubits. 

24 If After that he brought me toward the 
south, and behold a gate toward the south: 
and he measured the posts thereof and the 
arches thereof according to these measures. 

25 And there were windows in it and in the 
arches thereof round about, like those win- 
dows: the length was fifty cubits, and the 
breadth five and twenty cubits. 

26 And there were seven steps to go up to 
it, and the arches thereof were before them: 
and it had palm trees, one on this side, and 
another- on that side, upon the posts thereof. 

27 And there was a gate in the inner court 
toward the south: and he measured from gate 
to gate toward the south an hundred cubits. 

28 °And he brought me to the inner court 
by the south gate: and he measured the south 
gate according to these measures;

sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in 
their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. (Ez. 2S:25.)

a. And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the 
tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out 
of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten. (Ez. 33:21.) 

b. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high moun- 
tain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out 
of heaveu from God. (Rev. 21:10.) 

c. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appear- 
ance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his 
feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the 
voice of a multitude. (Dan. 10:6.) 

d. Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that 
they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the 
pattern. (Ez. 43:10.) 

e. Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven 
pillars. (Prov. 9:1.) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the 
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon 
him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is 



new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I 
will write upon him my new name. (Rev. 3:12.) 

f. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach 
unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with 
the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. (Ps. 65:4.) My 
soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart 
and my flesh crieth out for the living God. (Ps. S4:2.) 

g. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure 
it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they 
tread under foot forty and two months. (Rev. 11:2.) 

h. And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand 
of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for

dows in it and in the arches thereof round 
about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and 
twenty cubits broad. 

30 And the arches round about were five 
and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad. 

31 And the arches thereof were toward the 
utter court; and palm trees were upon the 
posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight 
steps. 

32 If And he brought me into the inner court 
toward the east: and he measured the gate 
according to these measures. 

33 And the little chambers thereof, and the 
posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were ac- 
cording to these measures: and there were 
windows therein and in the arches thereof 
round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five 
and twenty cubits broad. 

34 And the arches thereof were toward the 
outward court; and palm trees were upon 
the posts thereof, on this side, and on that 
side: and the going up to it had eight steps. 

. 35 If And he brought me to the north gate, 
and measured it according to these measures; 

36 The little chambers thereof, the posts 
thereof, and the arches thereof, and the win- 
dows to it round about: the length was fifty 
cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 

37 And the posts thereof were toward the 
utter court; and palm frees were upon the 
posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: 
and the going up to it had eight steps. 

38 And the chambers and the entries there- 
of were by the posts of the gates, where they 
washed the bm-nt offering. 

39 If And in the porch of the gate were two 
tables on this side, and two tables on that side, 
to slay thereon the burnt offering and Hhe sin 
offering and the Hres'pass offering. 

40 And at the side without, as one goeth up 
to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; 
and on the other side, which was at the porch 
of the gate, were two tables. 

41 Four tables were on this side, and four 
tables on that side, by the side of the gate; 
eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacri- 
fices. 

42 And the four tables were of hewn stone 
for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half 
long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one 
cubit high : whereupon also they laid the in-

struments wherewith they slew the burnt offer- 
ing and the sacrifice. 

43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, 
fastened round about: and upon the tables was 
the flesh of the offering. 

44 If And without the inner gate were the 
chambers of 'the singers in the inner court, 
which was at the side of the north gate; and 
their prospect was toward the south: one at 
the side of the east gate having the prospect 
toward the north. 

45 And he said unto me, This chamber, 
whose prospect is toward the south, is for the 
priests, "'the keepers of the charge of the 
house. 

46 And the chamber whose prospect is to- 
ward the north is for the priests, the keepers 
of the charge of the altar: these are the sons 
of Za'dok among the sons of Le'vi, which 
"come near to the Lord to minister unto him. 

47 So he measured the court, an hundred 
cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, 
foursquare; and the altar that was before the 
house. 

48 If And he brought me to the porch of the 
house, and measured each post of the porch, 
five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that 
side: and the breadth of the gate was three 
cubits on this side, and throe cubits on that 
side. 

49 The length of the porch was twenty cu- 
bits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he 
brought me by the steps whereby they went 
up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, 
one on this side, and another on that side. 

CHAPTER 41. 

The parts, chambers, and ornaments of the 

temple. 

1 ^Afterward he brought me to the "temple, 
and measured the posts, six cubits broad on 
the one side, and six cubits broad on the other 
side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. 

2 And the breadth of the door was ten cu- 
bits; and the sides of the door were five cubits 
on the one side, and five cubits on the other 
side: and he measured the length thereof, forty 
cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. 

3 Then went he inward, and measured the 
post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six 
cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven 
cubits. 

4 So 6 he measured the length thereof, twen- 
ty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, be- 



chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them. (II Chr. 
31:11.) Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and 
bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and 
give them wine to drink. (Jer. 35:2.) 

j. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin 
through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord con- 
cerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of 
them: If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the 
people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young 
bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering. (Lev. 4:2, 3.) 
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our in- 
iquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his 
stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) For he hath made him to be sin for 
us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God 
in him. (II Cor. 5:21.) "Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem 
us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous 
of good works. (Tit. 2:14.) But this man, after he had offered one 
sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God (12). For 
by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 
(Heb. 10:12, 14.) 

k. And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his 
sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb, or a kid of 
the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for 
him concerning his sin. (Lev. 5:6.) 

1. And these are they whom David set over the service of song in 
the house of the Lord, after that the ark had rest. (I Chr. 6:31.) Speak- 
ing to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and 
making melody in your heart to the Lord. (Eph. 5:19.) Let the word 
of Christ dv/ell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing 
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with 
grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Col. 3:16.) 

m. Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation day and night' seven days, and keep the charge of the 
Lord, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. (Lev. 8:35.) And ye 
shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that 
there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. (Num. 18:5.) 
But Aaron and his sons offered upon the altar of the burnt offering, and 
on the altar of incense, and were appointed for all the work of the 



place most holy, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all 
that Moses the servant of God had commanded. (I Chr. 6:49.) Behold, 
bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand 
in the house of the Lord. (Ps. 134:1.) But ye are a chosen generation, 
a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should 
show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into 
his marvellous light. (I Pet. 2:9.) And hath made us kings and priests 
unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and 
ever. Amen. (Rev. 1:6.) 

n. And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over 
the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar. 
(I Ks. 2:35.) But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept 
the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray 
from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they 
shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the 
Lord God: They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come 
near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. 
(Ez. 44:15, 16.) And came and preached peace to you which were afar 
off, and to them that were nigh. (Eph. 2:17.) 

Chapter 41. 

a. And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, 
saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH: and he shall 
grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lora. 
(Zech. 6:12.) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the 
Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (I Cor. 3:16.) And what agreement hath 
the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; 
as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be 
their God, and they shall be my people. (II Cor. 6:16.) In whom all the 
building, fitly framed together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord. 
(Eph. 2:21.) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of 
my God, and he shall go no "more out: and I will write upon him the 
name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new 
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will 
write upon him my new name. (Rev. 3:12.) 

b. And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits 
high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar. (I Ks. 6:10.) 
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God 
out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I

fore the temple: and he said unto me, This is 
the most holy place. 

5 After he measured the wall of the house, 
six cubits; and the breadth of every sid-e cham- 
ber, four cubits, round about the house on 
every side. 

6 And c the side chambers were three, one 
over another, and thirty in order; and they 
entered into the wall which was of the house 
for the side chambers round about, that they 
might have hold, but they had not hold in 
the wall of the house. 

7 And there was an enlarging, and a wind- 
ing about still upward to the side chambers: 
for the winding about of the house went still 
upward round about the house: therefore the 
breadth of the house was still upward, and so 
increased from the lowest chamber to the high- 
est by the midst. 

8 I saw also the height of the house round 
about: *the foundations of the side chambers 
were a full reed of six great cubits. 

9 The thickness of the wall, which was for 
the side chamber without, was five cubits: 
and that which was left was the place of the 
side chambers that were within. 

10 And between the chambers was the wide- 
ness of twenty cubits round about the house 
on every side. 

11 And the doors of the side chambers were 
toward the place that was left, one door to- 
ward the north, and another door toward the 
south : and the breadth of the place that was 
left was five cubits round about. 

12 2 Now the building that was before the 
separate place at the end toward the west was 
seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the 
building was five cubits thick round about, and 
the length thereof ninety cubits. 

13 So he measured the house, an hundred 
cubits long; and the separate place, and the 
building, with the walls thereof, an hundred 
cubits long; 

14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, 
and of the separate place toward the east, an 
hundred cubits. 

15 And he measured the length of the build- 
ing over against the separate place which was 
behind it, and the ^galleries thereof on the one 
side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, 
with the inner temple, and the porches of the 
court; 

16 3 The door posts, and the ''narrow win- 
dows, and the galleries round about on their 
three stories, over against the door, cieled with 
wood round about, and from the ground up to 
the windows, and the windows were covered; 

17 To that above the door, even unto the 
inner house, and without, and by all the wall 
round about within and without, by measure. 

18 And it was made with ^cherubim and 
palm trees, so that a palm tree was between 
a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had 
'■two faces;

1. In this ch. is given a descrip- 
tion of the chambers of the priests 
and the measurements of the temple. 



2. That is. the building became 
narrower as it rose in height. 



19 So that 'the face of a man was toward 
the palm tree on the one side, and the face of 
a young lion toward the palm tree on the other 
side: it was made through all the house round 
about. 

20 From the ground unto above the door 
were cherubim and palm trees made, and on 
the wall of the temple. 

21 The posts of the temple were squared, 
and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance 
of the one as the appearance of the other. 

22 The ■'altar of wood was three cubits high, 
and the length thereof two cubits; and the 
corners thereof, and the length thereof, . and 
the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said 
unto me, This is the table that is before the 
Lord. 

23 And the ^temple and the sanctuary had 
two doors. 

24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two 
turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, 
and two leaves for the other door. 

25 And there were made on them, on the 
doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, 
like as were made upon the walls; and there 
were thick planks upon the face of the porch 
without. 

26 And there were ''narrow windows and 
palm trees on the one side and on the other 
side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the 
side chambers of the house, and thick planks. 

CHAPTER 42. 

1 The chambers for the priests. 13 The use 
thereof. 

1 'Then he brought me forth into the "utter 
court, the way toward the north: and he 
brought me into the chamber that was over 
against the separate place, and which was be- 
fore the building toward the north. 

2 Before the length of an hundred cubits 
was the north door, and the breadth was fifty 
cubits. 

3 Over against the twenty cubits which were 
for the inner court, and over against the pave- 
ment which was for the utter court, was gal- 
lery against gallery in three stories. 

4 And before the chambers was a walk of 
ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; 
and their doors toward the north. 

5 Now the upper chambers were Shorter: 
for the galleries were higher than these, than 
the lower, and than the middlemost of the 
building. 

6 For they were in three stories, but had 
not pillars as the pillars of the courts: there- 
fore the building was straitened more than the 
lowest and the middlemost from the ground. 

7 And the wall that was without over 
against the chambers, toward the utter court 
on the forepart of the chambers, the length 
thereof was fifty cubits. 

8 For the length of the chambers that were 



heard a great voice out of heaven, saying. Behold, the tabernacle of 
God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his 
people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Rev. 
21:2, 3.) 

c. And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, 
against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of 
the oracle: and he made chambers round about. The nethermost cham- 
ber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the 
third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he 
made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened 
in the walls of the house. (I Ks. 6:5, 6.) 

d. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a 
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure founda- 
tion: he that believeth shall not make haste. (Is. 28:16.) And behold 
a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand 
a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand-breadth: 
so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, 
one reed. (Ez. 40:5.) 

e. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and 
if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and 
shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among 
these that stand by. (Zech. 3:7.) 

f. And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to 
their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; 



and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm 
trees. (Ez. 40:10.) 

g. And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved 
figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and with- 
out. (I Ks. 6:29.) 

h. And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a 
cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the 
face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. (Ez. 10:14.) 

i. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, 
and the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face 
of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. (Ez. 
1:10.) 

j. The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, 
and the mercyseat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the taber- 
nacle. (Ex. 31:7.) 

k. And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: 
the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall. The two doors 
also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim 
and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and 
spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees. (I Ks. 6:31, 32.) 

Chapter 42. 

a. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure 
it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they 
tread under foot forty and two months. (Rev. 11:2.)

in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, 
before the temple were an hundred cubits. 

9 And from under these chambers was the 
entry on the east side, as one goeth into them 
from the utter court. 

10 The chambers were in the thickness of 
the wall of the court toward the east, over 
against the separate place, and over against 
the building. 

11 And the way before them was like the 
appearance of the chambers which were to- 
ward the north, as long as they, and as broad 
as they: and all their goings out were both 
according to their fashions, and according to 
their doors. 

12 And according to the doors of the cham- 
bers that were toward the south was a door 
in the head of the way. even the way directly 
before the wall toward the east, as one en- 
tereth into them. 

13 '" Then said he unto me, The north cham- 
bers and the south chambers, which are before 
the separate place, they be holy chambers, 
where the priests that 6 approach unto the Lord 
°shall eat the most holy things: there shall 
they lay the most holy things, and the d meat 
offering, and the sin offering, and the tresspass 
offering; for the place is holy. 

14 When the priests enter therein, then shall 
they not go out of the holy place into the utter 
court, but there they shall lay their garments 
wherein they minister; for they are holy; and 
shall put on other garments, and shall ap- 
proach to those things which are for the peo- 
ple. 

15 Xov.v when he had made an end of meas- 
uring the inner house, he brought me forth 
toward the gate whose prospect is toward the 
east, and measured it round about. 

16 He measured the east side with the meas- 
uring reed, 2 five hundred reeds, with the meas- 
uring reed round about. 

17 He measured the north side, five hun- 
dred reeds, with the measuring reed round 
about. 

18 He measured the south side, five hundred 
reeds, with the measuring reed. 

19 *~ He turned about to the west side, and 
measured five hundred reeds with the meas- 
uring reed. 

20 He measured it by the four sides : c it had 
a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, 
and five 'hundred broad, to make a separation 
between the sanctuary and the profane place.

3. Vs. 10-32 indicate that there is 
not only a deep symbolical meaning 
attached to this vision bat that it 
would be understood by those for 
whom it was intended. 



1 'Afterward he brought me to the gate, 
even the gate that looketh toward the east: 

2 And, Q behold, the glory of the God of Is'- 
ra-el came from the way of the east: and his 
voice was like a noise of many waters : and 
the earth shined with his glory. 

3 And it was ^according to the appearance 
of the vision which I saw, even according to 
the vision that I saw when I came c to destroy 
the city: and the visions were like the vision 
that I saw by the river Che'bar; and I fell 
upon my face. 

4 And the glory of the Lord came into the 
house by the way of the gate whose prospect 
is toward the east. 

5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me 
into the inner court; and, behold, the glory 
of the Lord filled the house. 

6 = And I heard him speaking unto me out 
of the house; and the man stood by me. 

7 r And he said unto me, Son of 'man, the 
place of my throne, and d the place of the soles 
of mi] feet, where I roill dwell in the midst of 
the children of Is'ra-el for ever, and my holy 
name, shall the house of Is'ra-el e no more de- 
file, neither they, nor their kings, by their 
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings 
in their high places. 

8 In their setting of their threshold by my 
thresholds, and their post by my posts, and 
the wall between me and them, they have even 
defiled my holy name by their abominations 
that they have committed: wherefore I have 
consumed them in mine anger. 

9 Xow let them put away their whoredom, 
and the carcases of their kings, .far from me, 
and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. 

10 *" ; Thou son of man, shew the house to 
the house of Is'ra-el, that they may be ashamed 
of their iniquities: and let them measure the 
pattern. 

11 And if they be ashamed of all that they 
have done, ^shew them the form of the house, 
and the fashion thereof, and the goings out 
thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the 
forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, 
and all the forms thereof, and all the laws 
thereof: and write it in their sight, that they 
may keep the whole form thereof, and all the 
ordinances thereof, and do them. 

12 This is the law of the house; Upon the 
top of the mountain the whole limit thereof 
round about shall be most holy. Behold, this 
is the law of the house. 

13 r And these are the measures of the altar 
after the cubits : The cubit is a cubit and an 
hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a 
cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border 
thereof by the edge thereof round about shall 
be a span: and this shall be the higher place 
of the altar. 

14 And from the bottom upon the ground 



b. And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; (for them the 
Lord thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the 
name of the Lord; and by their word shall every controversy and every 
stroke be tried). (Dt. 21:5.) 

c. And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with 
unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of 
the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it. (Lev. 6:16.) And 
it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: 
for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire 
by a perpetual statute. (Lev. 24:9.) 

d. And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his 
sons': it is the thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made bv 
fire. (Lev. 2:3.) 

e. And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted 
it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also 
made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth 
grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. (Is. 5:2.) In that day shall 
this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salva- 
tion will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. (Is. 26:1.) 

f. Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, 
and five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round 
about for the suburbs thereof. (Ez. 15:2.)

down, to build, and to plant. (Jer. 1:10.) 

d. Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said. Hear me, 
my brethren, and my people: As for me, 1 had in mine heart to build 
an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the 
footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building. (I Chr. 28:2.) 
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool: for he is holy. 
(Ps. 99:5.) And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be 
their God. (Ex. 29 :45. ) Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which 
God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever. (Ps. 
CS:16.) 

e. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people 
Israel: and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the 
heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. (Ez.

even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, 
and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser 
settle even to the greater settle shall be four 
cubits, and the breadth one cubit. 

15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and 
from the altar and upward shall be four horns. 

16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, 
twelve broad, square in the four squares 
thereof. 

17 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits 
long and fourteen broad in the four squares 
thereof; and the border about it shall be half 
a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a 
cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward 
the east. 

18 **And he said unto me, Son of man, thus 
saith the Lord God; These are the ordinances 
of the altar in the day when they shall make 
it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to 
(/sprinkle blood thereon. 

19 And thou shalt give to the priests the 
Le'vites that be of the seed of Za'dok, which 
approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith 
the Lord God, ''a young bullock for a sin offer- 
ing. 

20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, 
and put it on the four horns of it, and on the 
four corners of the settle, and upon the border 
round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and 
purge it. 

21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the 
sin offering, and he shall burn it in the ap- 
pointed place of the house, without the sanc- 
tuary. 

22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a 
kid of the goats without blemish for a sin 
offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as 
they did cleanse it with the bullock. 

23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing 
it, thou shalt offer a young bidlock without 
blemish, and a ram out of the flock without 
blemish. 

24 And thou shalt offer them before the 
Lord, and the priests, shall cast salt upon them, 
and they shall offer them up for a burnt offer- 
ing unto the Lord. 

25 'Seven days shalt thou prepare every day 
a goat for a sin offering: they shall also pre- 
pare a young bullock, and a ram out of the 
flock, without blemish. 

26 Seven days shall they purge the altar 
and purify it; and they shall consecrate them- 
selves. 

27 And when these days are expired, it shall 
be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, 
the priests shall make your burnt offerings 
upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and 
I will Jaccept you, saith the Lord God.

1 ir Then he brought me back the way of the 
gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh 
toward the east; and it was shut. 

2 Then said the Lord unto me; This gate 
shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no 
man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, 
the God of Is'ra-el, hath entered in by it, 
therefore it shall be shut. 

3 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall 
si' in it to a eat bread before the Lord; he shall 
enter by the way of the porch of that gate, 
and shall go out by the way of the same, 

4 If "i'hen brought he me the way of the 
north gate before the house: and I looked, and, 
behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house 
of the Lord: ''and I fell upon my face. 

5 And the Lord said unto me, c 'Son of man, 
mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and 
hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee 
concerning all the ordinances of the house of 

in vs. is-27 is given tho conse- j the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark 

well the entering in of the house, with every 
going forth of the sanctuary. 

6 And thou shalt say to the ^rebellious, even 
to the house of is'ra-el, Thus saith the Lord 
God; ye house of Is'ra-el, let it suffice you 
of all your abominations, 

7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary 
strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncir- 
cumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to 
pollute it, even my house, when ye offer e my 
bread, ''the fat and the blood, and they have 
broken my covenant because of all your abom- 
inations. 

8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine 
holy things: but ye have set keepers of my 
charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. 

9 f Thus saith the Lord God ; »No stranger, 
uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in 
flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any 
stranger that is among the children of Is'ra-el. 

10 And ''the Le'vites that are gone away far 
from me, when Is'ra-el went astray, which 
went astray away from me after their idols; 
they shall even bear their iniquity. 

11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanc- 
tuary, having charge at the gates of the house, 
and ministering to the house: they shall slay 
the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the 
people, and they shall stand before them to 
minister unto them. 

12 Because they ministered unto them be- 
fore their idols, and caused the house of Is'- 
ra-el to fall into iniquity; therefore have I 
lifted up mine hand against them, saith the 
Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity. 

13 And they shall not come near unto me, 
to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to 
come near to any of my holy things, in the 
most holy place: but they shall *bear their 
shame, and their abominations which they have 
committed. 

14 But I will make them keepers of the 



cratiou of the altar.

g. And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, 
Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about 
upon the altar that >s by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 
(Lev. 1:5.) 

h. And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the taber- 
nacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands 
upon the head of the bullock. (Ex. 29:10.) 

i. And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according 
to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou 
consecrate them. (Ex. 29:35.) 

j. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through 
our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:1.) To the praise of the glory of his 
grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (Eph. 1:6.) 

Chapter 44. 

a. Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the 
sacrifices partakers of the altar? (I Cor. 10:18.) Then Jacob offered sac- 
rifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they 
did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. (Gen. 31:54.) 

h. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud »n the day of 
rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was 
the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I 
saw it, I fell upcn my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. (Ez. 
1:28.) 

c. And the man said unto me, bon of man, behold with thine eves, 
and hear with thine earc, and set thine heart upon all that I shall show 



thee: for to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou 
brought hither: declare all that thou seekt to the house of Israel. (Ez. 
40:4.) 

d. And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, 
(for they are a rebellious house.) yet shall know that there hath been 
a prophet among them. (Ez. 2:5.) 

e. They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name 
of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread 
of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. (Lev. 21 :G.) 

f. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of 
the offering made by fire for a sweet savor. All the fat is the Lord's. 
(Lev. 3:16.) For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given 
it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it 
is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (Lev. 17:11.) 

g. But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare 
my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my coveaant in thy mouth? 
(Ps. 50:16.) Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine 
house, O Lord, for ever. (Ps. 93:5.) So shall ye know that I am the 
Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusa- 
lem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. 
(Joel 3:17.) 

h. And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and 
defiled the high places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba 
to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in 
the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which 
were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city. (II Ks. 23:8.)

15 If But -'the priests the Le'vites, the sons 
of "Za'dok, that kept the charge of my sanc- 
tuary when the children of is'ra-el went- astray 
from me, they shall come near to me to min- 
ister unto me, and they shall stand before me 
to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith 
the Lord God: 

16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and 
they shall come near to my table, to minister 
unto me, and they shall 7: keep my charge. 

1 i r And it shall come to pass, that when 
they enter in at the gates of the inner court, 
they shall be clothed with 4 linen garments; 
and no wool shall come upon them, whiles thes^ 
minister in the gates of the inner court, and 
within. 

18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their 
heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their 
loins; they shall not gird themselves with any 
thing that causeth sweat. 

19 And when they go forth into the utter 
court, even into the utter court to the people, 
they shall put off their garments wherein they 

• ministered, and lay them in the holy cham- 
bers, and they shall put on other garments; 
and they shall not sanctify the people with 
their garments. 

20 Neither shall they 5 shave their heads, 
nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall 
only poll their heads. 

21 'Neither shall any priest drink wine, 
when they enter into the inner court. 

22 Neither shall they take for their wives 
a widow, nor her that is put away: but they 
shall take maidens of the seed of the house of 
Is'ra-el, or a widow that had a priest before. 

23 And they shall teach my people the dif- 
ference between the holy and profane, and 
cause them to discern between the unclean and 
the clean. 

24 And in controversy they shall stand in 
judgment; and they shall judge it according 
to my judgments: and they shall keep my 
"'laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; 
"and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 

25 And they shall come at no 6 dead person 
to defile themselves : but for father, or for 
mother, or for son, or for daughter, for broth- 
er, or for sister that hath had no husband, 
they may defile themselves. 

26 And after he is cleansed, they shall 
reckon unto him seven days. 

27 And in the day that he goeth into the 
sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister 
in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, 
saith the Lord God. 

28 And it shall be unto them for an inherit- 
ance: I °am their inheritance: and ye shall 
give them no possession in Is'ra-el: I am their 
possession.

cause of their corruptions. 



4. Symbolical of purity.

6. The priest is forbidden to touch 
the dead or to enter the room where 
the corpse lay, for by so doing he 
would become rituallv defiled and un- 
fit for duty. (Num. 19:14 > — --This 
Is the law when a man dieth in a 
tent: all that come into the tent and 
all that is in the tent shall be un- 
clean seven days."

29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the 
sin offering, and the trespass offering; and 
every dedicated thing in Is'ra-el shall be 
their's. 

30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all 
things, and every oblation of all, of every sort 
of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall 
also give unto the priest the first of your 
dough, ^that he may cause the blessing to rest 
in thine house. 

31 The priests shall not eat of any thing 
that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be 
fowl or beast.

1 The portion of land for the sanctuary, 6 
for the city, 7 and for the prince. 9 Or- 
dinances for the prince. 

1 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the 
land for inheritance, ye shall °offer an obla- 
tion unto the Lord, an holy portion of the 
land: the length shall be the length of five and 
twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall 
be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the 
borders thereof round about. 

2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary 
five hundred in length, with five hundred in 
breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits 
round about for the suburbs thereof. 

3 And of this measure' shalt thou measure 
the length of five and twenty thousand, and 
the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall 
be the sanctuary and the most holy place. 

4 The holy portion of the land shall be for 
the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, 
which shall come near to minister unto the 
Lord: and it shall be a place for their houses, 
and an holy place for the sanctuary. 

o And s the five and twenty thousand of 
length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall 
also the Le'vites, the ministers of the house, 
have for themselves, for a possession for 
c twenty chambers. 

6 r And ye shall appoint the possession of 
the city five thousand broad, and five and twen- 
ty thousand long, over against the oblation 
of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole 
house of Is'ra-el. 

7 H And a portion shall be for the prince on 
the one side and on the other side of the obla- 
tion of the holy portion, and of the possession 
of the city, before the oblation of the holy 
portion, and before the possession of the city, 
from the west side westward, and from the 
east side eastward: and the length shall be 
over against one of the portions, from the 
west border unto the east border. 

8 In the land shall be his possession in is'- 
ra-el : and my princes shall no more oppress 
my people; and the rest of the land shall they 
give to the house of Is'ra-el according to their 
tribes. 



donians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they 
are ashamed of their might: and they lie uncireumcised with them 
that be slain bv the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down 
to the pit. (Ez. 32:30.) 

j. And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the 
priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of 
Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the Lord to minister 
unto bim. (Ez. 40:46.) 

k. Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the 
Lord, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. (Lev. 8:35.) For the 
priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at 
his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 2:7.) 

1. Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, 
when re go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall 
be a statute for ever throughout your generations. (Lev. 10:9.) 

m. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the 
believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in 
purity. (I Tim. 4:12.) But thou. O man cf God. flee these things; and 
follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 
(I Tim. 6:11.) Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: 
I am the Lord. (Lev. 22:31.) My son, forget not my law: but let thine 
heart keep my commandments. (Prov. 3:1.) Thou shalt keep therefore 
his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day. 
that it may go well with thee, and with they children after thee, and 
that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord 
thy God giveth thee, for ever. (Dt. I 



n. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy 
things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, 
neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, 
and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among 
them. (Ez. 22:26.) 

o. And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shall have no inheritance 
in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy 
part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. (Num. 1S:20.) 

p. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) Bring ye all the tithes into the store- 
house, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now here- 
with, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of 
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that ..there shall not be room 
enough to receive it. (Mai. 3:10.) 

Chapter 45. 

a. And by the border of Judah. from the east side unto the west 
side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thou- 
sand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from 
the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst 
of it. (Ez. 48:8.) 

b. And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have 
five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all 
the length shall be five and twentv thousand, and the breadth ten thou- 
sand. (Ez. 48:13.) 

c. Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were 
chain b'ers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty cham-

9 r Thus saith the Lord God; Let it suffice 
you, princes of Is'ra-el : ''remove violence 
and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, 
take away your exactions from my people, 
saith the Lord God. 

10 Ye shall have just ^balances, and a just 
ephah, and a just bath. 

11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one 
measure, that the bath may contain the tenth 
part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth 
part of an homer: the measure thereof shall 
be after the homer. 

12 "And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: 
twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fif- 
teen shekels, shall be your maneh. 

13 This is the oblation that ye shall offer; 
the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of 
wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an 
ephah of an homer of barley: 

14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath 
of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath 
out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; 
for ten baths are an homer: 

15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of 
two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Is'- 
ra-el; for a meat offering, and for a burnt 
offering, and for peace offerings, to make ^rec- 
onciliation for them, saith the Lord God. 

16 All the people of the land shall give this 
oblation for the prince in Is'ra-el. 

17 And it shall be the prince's part to give 
burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink 
offerings, in the feasts', and in the new moons, tlle ordinances for public worship. 
and in the sabbatns, in all solemnities of the 
house of is'ra-el: he shall ^'prepare the sin 
offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt 
offering, and the peace offerings, to make rec- 
onciliation for the house of Is'ra-el. 

18 Thus saith the Lord God; In the first 
mouth, in the first day of the month, thou shalt 
take a young bullock without blemish, and 
''cleanse the sanctuary : 

19 And the priest shall take of the blood of 
the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of 
the house, and upon the four corners of the 
settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the 
gate of the inner court. 

20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of 
the month 'for every one that erreth, and for 
him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the 
house. 

21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day 
of the month, ye shall have the passever, a 
feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be 
eaten. 

22 And upon that day shall the 'prince pre- 
pare for himself and for all the people of the 
land l 'a bullock for a sin offering.

for a sin offering. 

24 And he shall prepare a meat offering of 
an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a

25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day 
of the month, shall he do the like in the '"feast

9 and for the people. 19 The courts for 
boiling and baking. 

1 ^hus saith the Lord God; The gate of 
the inner court that looketh toward the east 
shall be shut the six working days; but on the 
"sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of 
the new moon it shall be opened. 

2 And the prince shall enter by the way of 
the porch of that gate without, and shall stand 
by the post of the gate, and the priests shall 
prepare his burnt offering and his peace offer- 
ings, and he shall worship at the threshold of 
the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate 
shall not be shut until the evening. 

3 Likewise 6 the people of the land shall 
worship at the door of this gate before the 
Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons. 

4 And the c burnt offering that the prince 
shall offer unto the Lord in the sabbath day 
shall be six 'lambs without blemish, and a rani 
without blemish. 

5 And the meat offering shall be an ephah 
for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs 
as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil 
to an ephah. 

6 And in the day of the new moon it shall 
be a young bullock without blemish, and six 
lambs, and a ram: they shall be ivithout blem- 
ish. 

7 And he shall prepare a meat offering, an 
ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, 
and for the lambs according as his hand shall 
attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 

8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall 
go in by the way of the porch of that gate, 
and he shall go forth by the way thereof. 

9 1f But when the people of the land ''shall 
come before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he 
that entereth in by the way of the north gate 
to worship shall go out by the way of the 
south gate; and he that entereth by the way 
of the south gate shall go forth by the way of 
the north gate: he shall not return by the way 
of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go 
forth over against it. 

10 And the prince in the midst of them. 



d. Thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, 
and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no 
wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, 
neither shed innocent blood in this place. (Jer. 22:3.) 

e. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in mete-yard, in 
weight, or in measure. (Lev. 19:35.) A false balance is abomination 
to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight. (Prov. 11:1.) 

f. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; 
and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. (Lev. 1:4.) 
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and 
purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Tit. 2:14.) 

g. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that 
we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (II Cor. 5:21.) 
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse 
for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. 
(Gal. 3:13.) 

h. And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering which is 
for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. 
(Lev. 16:6.) 

i. And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, 
while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord 
concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty. (Lev. 4:27.) 

j. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to 
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Mat. 20:28.) Who his 
own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead 
to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 
(I Pet. 2:24.) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for 
the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the 
flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. (I Pet. 3:18.) 



k. When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then 
the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him 
before the tabernacle of the congregation. (Lev. 4:14.) 

1. But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven 
days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile 
work therein. (Lev. 23:8.) 

m. And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have 
an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a 
feast unto the Lord seven days. (Num. 29:12.) Thou shalt observe the 
feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy 
corn and thv wine. (Dt. 16:13.) 

Chapter 46. 

a. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he 
that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, 
as God did from his. (Heb. 4:9, 10.) 

b. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with 
praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (Ps. 100:4.) And the 
whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of 
incense. (Luke 1:10.) 

c. And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled 
with a fourth part of an hin of beaten oil (5). And on the sabbath day 
two lambs of the first year without spot, and two-tenth deals of flour 
for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and a drink offering thereof. 
(Num. 28:5, 9.) 

d. Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto rne in the year (14). 
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God. 
(Ex. 23:14, 17.) Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before 
the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of un- 
leavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of taber- 
nacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord empty. (Dt. iG:16.)

when they go in, shall go in; and when they 
go forth, shall go forth. 

11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities 
the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bul- 
lock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs 
as he is able to give, and an bin of oil to an 
ephah. 

12 Now when the prince shall prepare a 
voluntary 'burnt offering or peace offerings 
voluntarily unto the Lord, one shall then open 
him the gate that looketh toward the east, 
and he shall prepare his burnt offering and 
his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath 
day: then he shall go forth; and after his go- 
ing forth one shall shut the gate. 

13 Thou fshali daily prepare a burnt offer- 
ing unto the Lord of a lamb of the first year 
without blemish: thou shalt prepare it o every 
morning. 

14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering 
for it every morning, the sixth part of an 
ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to 
temper with the fine flour; a meat offering con- 
tinually by a perpetual ordinance unto the 
Lord. 

15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and 
the meat offering, and the oil, every morning 
for a continual burnt offering. 

16 r Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince 
give a gift unto any of his sons, the inherit- 
ance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their 
possession by inheritance. 

17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance 
to one of his servants, then it shall be his to 
the ''year of liberty; after it shall return to 
the prince: but his inheritance shall be his 
sons' for them. 

18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the 
people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust 
them out of their possession; but he shall give 
his sons inheritance out of his own possession : 
that my people be not scattered every man 
from his possession. 

19 T 3 After he brought me through the en- 
try, which was at the side of the gate, into 
the holy chambers of the priests, which looked 
toward the north: and, behold, there was a 
place on the two sides westward. 

20 Then said he unto me, This is the place 
where the priests shall 'boil the trespass offer- 
ing and the sin offering, where they shall 
-'bake the meat offering; that they bear them 
not out into the utter court, to sanctify the 
people. 

21 Then he brought me forth into the utter 
court, and caused me to pass by the four cor- 
ners of the court; and, behold, in every cor- 
ner of the court there was a court. 



3. Vs. 19-24 give a description of 
kitchens of the priests. 



Ch. 47. B. C. 574. 



1. In this ch. Is the vision of the 
holy waters flowing from underneath 
the temple with powers to convert 
the desert into a paradise and to 
sweeten the water of the Dead Sea, 
symbolizing the power of the relig- 
ion of Jehovah in its redeeming work. 
These waters finally enter the deep 
depression in the Jordan valley, and 
everywhere along the bank of the 
river is manifested the power of the 
water, as there the leaves never with- 
er and the trees bear fruit monthly. 
Thus typifying that the blessings of 
God are no longer restricted to one 
people and one locality, but hence- 
forth are to be for all people in all 
lands. 



2. Symbolizing that man's bless- 
igs flow from the sanctuary of God. 



22 In the four corners of the court there 
were courts joined of forty cubits long and 
thirty broad: these four corners were of one 
measure. 

23 And there was a row of building round 
about in them, round about them four, and it 
was made with boiling places under the rows 
round about. 

24 Then said he unto me, These are the 
places of them that boil, where the ministers 
of the house shall 7: boil the sacrifice of the 
people. 

CHAPTER 47. 

1 The vision of the holy waters. 6 The virtue 

of them. 

1 ^Afterward he brought me again unto the 
door of the house; and, behold, "waters issued 
out from tinder the threshold "of the house 
eastward: for the forefront of the house stood 
toward the east, and the waters came down 
from under from the right side of the house, 
at the south side of the altar. 

2 Then brought he me out of the way of the 
gate northward, and led me about the way 
without unto the utter gate by the way that 
looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out 
waters on the right side. 

3 And when Hhe man that had the line in 
his hand went forth eastward, he measured a 
thousand cubits, and he brought me through 
the waters; the waters were to the ancles. 

4 Again he measured a thousand, and 
brought me through the waters; the waters 
were to the knees. Again he measured a thou- 
sand, and brought me through; the waters 
were to the loins. 

5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it 
was a river that I could not pass over: for the 
waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river 
that could not be passed over. 

6 r And he said unto me, Son of man, hast 
thou seen this? Then he brought me, and 
caused me to return to the brink of the river. 

7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the 
bank of the river were very many trees c on 
the one side and on the other. 

8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue 
out toward the east country, and go down into 
the desert, and go into the sea: which being 
brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be 
healed. 

9 And it shall come to pass, that every 
thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever 
the rivers shall come, shall live: and there 
shall be a very great multitude of fish, because 
these waters shall come thither: for they shall 
be healed; and every thing shall live whither 
the river cometh. 



e. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to 
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Mat. 20:28.) I am 
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in 
me: and the life which I now Jive in the flesh I live by the faith of the 
Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Gal. 2:20.) Who 
gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and 
purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Tit. 2:14.) 

f. Xow this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs 
of the first year day by day continually. (Ex. 29:38.) And thou shalt say 
unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto 
the Lord: two lambs of the first year without spot, day by day, for a 
continual burnt offering. (Num. 28:3.) 

g. To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faith- 
fulness every night. (Ps. 92:2.) Evening, and morning, and at noon, 
will I pray, ana cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. (Ps. 55:17.) 
That he would grant unto us, that we, being delivered out of the hand 
of our enemies, might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteous- 
ness before him, all the days of our life. (Luke 1:74, 75.) 

h. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty 
throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a 
jubilee unto you: and ye shall return every man unto his possession, 
and ye shall return every man unto his family. (Lev. 25:10.) 

i. And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordi- 
nance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, 
and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people. (II Chr. 
35:13.) 

j. And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the 
oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or 
unleavened wafers anointed with oil. And if thy oblation be a meat 
offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mingled 
with oil (1, 5). And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the 
frying-pan. it shall be made of fine flour with oil. (Lev. 2:4, 5, 7.) 



k. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Gcd, that ye 
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. which 
is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1.) That I should be the minister 
of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God. that 
the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by 
the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 15:16.) But to do good and to communicate 
forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. (Heb. 13:16.) 

Chapter 47. 

a. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city 
of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. (Ps. 46:4.) 
And it shill come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop 
down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers 
of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the 
house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. (Joel 3:18.) 
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and 
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. (Zech. 
13:1.) And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from 
Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward 
the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. (Zech. 14:S.) And 
he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding 
out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Rev. 22:1.) 

b. And he brought me thither, and, behold, there ,was a man, whose 
appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his 
hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. (Ez. 40:3.) I 
lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and. behold, a man with a meas- 
uring line in his hand. (Zech. 2:1.) And there was given me a reed like 
unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying. Rise, and measure the temple 
of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. (Rev. 11:1.) 

c. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that 
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and 
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:3.) The righteous shall 
flourish like the palm tree; he shall grow like the cedar in Lebanon.

10 And it shall come to pass, that ''the fisli- 
ers sltall stand upon it from Eu-gedi even 
unto En-eg'la-im; they shall be a place to 
spread forth nets; their fish shall be according 
to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, 
exceeding many. 

11 But the miry places thereof and the 
marishes thereof shall not be healed; they 
shall be given to salt. 

12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, 
on this side and on that side, shall groiv all trees 
for meat, r whose leaf shall not fade, neither 
ihall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall 
bring forth neiv fruit according to his months, 
because their waters they issued out of the 
sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for 
meat, and the leaf thereof for t medicine. 

13 If Thus saith the Lord God; This shall be 
the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land 
according to the twelve tribes of is'ra-el: ^Jo'- 
seph shall have two portions. 

14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as an- 
other: concerning the which I ''lifted up mine 
hand to give it unto your fathers: and this 
land shall fall unto you for inheritance. 

15 3 And this shall be the border of the land 
toward the north side, from the great sea, the 
way of Heth'lon, as men go to Ze'dad; 

16 'Ha'math, Be-ro'thah, Sib'ra-im, which 
is between the border of Da-mas'cus and the 
border of Ha'math; Ha'zar-hat'ti-con, which is 
by the coast of Hau'ran. 

17 And the border from the sea shall be 
Ha'zar-e'nan, the border of Da-mas'cus, and 
the north northward, and the border of Ha'- 
math. And this is the north side. 

18 And the east side ye shall measure from 
Hau'ran, and from Da-mas'cus, and from Gil'- 
e-ad, and from the land of Is'ra-el by Jor'dan, 
from the border unto the east sea. And this 
is the east side. 

19 And the south side southward, from Ta'- 
mar even to the waters of strife in Ka'desh, 
the river to the great sea. And this is the 
south side southward. 

20 The west side also shall be the great sea 
from the border, till a man come over against 
Ha'math-. This is the west side. 

21 So shall ye divide this land unto you ac- 
cording to the tribes of Is'ra-el. 

22 H And it shall come to pass, that ye shall 
divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, 
and •'to the strangers that sojourn among you, 
which shall beget children among you : ''"and 
they shall be unto you as born in the country 
among the children of Is'ra-el; they shall have 
inheritance with you among the tribes of Is'- 
ra-el. 

23 Arrd it shall come to pass, that in what 
tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye 
give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God. 



3. In the remaining verses of the 
ch. the prophet traces the boundaries 
of the newly organized land. 



Ch. 48. B. C. 574. 



1. In this ch. is given an account 
ot the allotment of the land to several 
trihes. 1 



2. The tribe of Dan is to have the 
least honorable at the extreme north, 
because of its low moral and semi- 
heathen tendencies so long practiced. 
For the same reason, in Rev. 7:5-S, 
St. John omits the mention of the 
name of Dan. 



3. No one of note is mentioned in 
the Old Testament as coming from 
this tribe and only one is mentioned 
in the New Testament — the proph- 
etess Annr. 



4. Heretofore the division of the 
two and a half tribes east of the .Tor- 
dan and the nine and a half west 
was produced by the splitting of Ma- 
nasseh. but in the new arrangement 
this tribe is to be reunited. 



!>. For upwards of 400 years, under 
the Judges, this tribe held a pre-em- 
inence over the others. 



G. Because of incest and instabil- 
ity. (Gen. 49:4) — "Unstable as wa- 
fer, thou sbalt not excel; because 
thou wentest up to thy father's bed, 
then defllest thou it." Henee. distin- 
guished prophet, priest or king never 
came from this tribe. 



CHAPTER 48. 

1 The portions of the tivelve tribes, 8 of the 
sanctuary. 

1 'Now these are the names of the tribes. 
From the north end to the coast of the way 
of Heth'lon, as one goeth to Ha'math, Ha'zar- 
e'nan, the border of Da-mas'cus northward, to 
the coast of Ha'math; for these are his sides 
east and west; a portion for 2 Dan. 

2 And by the border of Dan, from the east 
side unto the west side, a portion for Ash'er. 

3 And by the border of 3 Ash'er, from the 
east side even unto the west side, a portion for 
Naph'ta-IT. 

4 And by the border of Naph'ta-li, from the 
east side unto the west side, a portion for 
4 Ma-nas'seh. 

5 And by the border of Ma-nas'seh, from the 
east side unto the west side, a portion for 
r E'phra-im. 

6 And by the border of E'phra-im, from the 
east side even unto the west side, a portion 
for "Reu'ben. 

7 And by the border of Reu'ben, from the 
east side unto the west side, a portion for 
Ju'dah. 

8 If And by the border of Ju'dah, from the 
east side unto the west side, shall be the of- 
fering which ye shall offer of five and twenty 
thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as 
one of the other parts, from the east side unto 
the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in 
the midst of it. 

9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the 
Lord shall be of five and twenty thousand in 
length, and of ten thousand in breadth. 

10 And for them, even for the priests, shall 
be this holy oblation; toward the north five 
and twenty thousand in length, and toward the 
west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the 
east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the 
south five and twenty thousand in length: and 
the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst 
thereof. 

11 It shall be for the priests that are sancti- 
fied of the sons of Za'dok; which have kept my 
charge, which went not astray when the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el went astray, as the Le'vites 
went astray. 

12 And this oblation of the land that is of- 
fered shall be unto them a a thing most holy 
by the border of the Le'vites. 

13 And over against the border of the 
priests the Le'vites shall have five and twenty 
thousand in length, and ten thousand in 
breadth : all the length shall be five and twenty 
thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 

14 And Hhey shall not sell of it, neither ex- 
change, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: 
for it is holy unto the Lord. 



(Ps. 92:12.) Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit 
the land for ever, the branch cf my planting, the work of my hands, that 
I may be glorified. (Is. 60:21.) In the midst of the street of it, and 
on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve 
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves 
of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Rev. 22:2.) 

d. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers 
of men. (Mat. 4:lg.) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, 
that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind. (Mat. 13:47.) 

e. He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in 
his garden. (Job 8:16.) For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, 
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when 
heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the 
year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:8.) 

f. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, 
was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and 
yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the 
healing of the nations. (Rev. 22:2.) 

g. And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born 
unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are 
mine: as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. (Gen. 48:5.) Now the 
sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel, (for he was the first-born; but, 
forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto 
the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be 
reckoned after the birthright.) (I Chr. 5:1.) 

h. And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed 
will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who 
appeared unto him. (Gen. 12:7.) And said, By myself have I sworn, 



saith the Lord; for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not with- 
held thy son, thine only son; That in blessing I will bless thee, and in 
multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the 
sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate 
of his enemies. (Gen. 22:16, 17.) 

i. Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath 
the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than 
these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? (2). But, 
behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the 
Lord the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in 
of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness. (Amos 6:2, 14.) 

j. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of 
every nation under heaven. (Acts 2:5.) That the Gentiles should be 
fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in 
Christ by the Gospel. (Eph. 3:6.) 

k. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for 
the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (Rom. 10:12.) 
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many 
of you as have been baptized *nto Christ have put on Christ. There is 
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither 
male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be 
Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 
(Gal. 3:26-29.) 

Chapter 48. 

a. Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the 
Gospel should live of the Gospel. (I Cor. 9:14.) 

b. Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of 
thy liquors; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. (Ex.

15 r And the c five thousand, that are left in 
the breadth over against the five and twenty 
thousand, shall be fi a profane place far the city, 
for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city 
shall be in the midst thereof. 

16 And these shall be the measures thereof; 
the north side four thousand and five hundred. 
and the south side four thousand and five hun- 
dred, and on the east side four thousand and 
five hundred, and the west side four thousand 
and five hundred. 

17 And the suburbs of the city shall be 
toward the north two hundred and fifty, and 
toward the south two hundred and fifty 7 , and 
toward the east two hundred and fifty, and 
toward the west two hundred and fifty. 

18 And the residue in length over against 
the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten 
thousand eastward, and ten thousand west- 
ward: and it shall be over against the oblation 
of the holy portion; and the increase thereof 
shall be for food unto them that serve the city. 

19 And they that serve the city shall serve 
it out of all the tribes of Is'ra-el. 

20 All the oblation shall be five and twenty 
thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall 
offer the holy e oblation foursquare, with the 
possession of the city. 

21 ""And the residue shall be for the prince. 
on the one side and on the other of the holy 
oblation, and of the possession of the city, 
over against the five and twenty thousand of 
the oblation toward the east border, and west- 
ward over against the five and twenty thou- 
sand toward the west border, over against the 
portions for the prince : and it shall be the 
holy oblation; and the sanctuaiy ''of the house 
shall be in the midst thereof. 

22 Moreover from the possession of the Le'- 
vites, and from the possession of the city, 
being in the midst of that which is the prince's, 
between the border of Ju'dah and the border 
of Ben'ja-min, shall be for the prince. 



7. Together with Judah this tribe 
has ever been loyal to the house of 
David. 



S. In Dt. 33. Simeon is omitted in 
the blessings of Moses, perhaps be- 
cause a Simeonite prince led the 
Israelites in their idolatrous whore- 
dom with Midian. (Num. 25:14 1 — 
'•Jfow the name of the Israelite that 
was slaiu. even what was slain with 
the Midianitish woman, was Zimri. 
the son of Salu. a prince of the chief 
house among the Simeonites."" 



9. The portion o' this tribe had 
teen on the plain of Esdraelon. Their 
never meddling with other nations, or 
engaging in wars except in self-de- 
fense, caused them to be compared 
to a ''Strong ass couching down be- 
tween two burdens." (Gen. 49:14.) 



22:29.) Notwithstanding no devoted thing that a man shall devote unto 
the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field 
of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most 
holy unto the Lord (2S). He shall not search whether it be good or bad, 
neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and 
the change thereof shall be holy: it shall not be redeemed. (Lev. 
27:28, 33.) 

c. And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand 
broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation 
of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel. (Ez. 45:6.) 

d. And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying. What man 
is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let 
him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another 
man dedicate it. (Dt. 20:5.) 

e. How goodly are thy tents. Jacob! and thy tabernacles, O 
Israel! (Num. 24:5.) Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities; thine 
eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not 
be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, 
neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. (Is. 33:20.) 

f. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled 
together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. 
And the land was subdued before them. (Josh. 18:1.) And it shall come 
to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall 
be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above 
the hills: and all nations shall flow unto it. (Is. 2:2.) And I will shake 
all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill 
this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts (7). The glory of this 
latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: 
and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts. (Hag. 2:7, 9.) 
Come unto me. all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give 
you rest. (Mat. 11:28.) But blessed are vour eves, for they see; and 



23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the 
east side unto the west side, Ben'ja-min shall 
have a portion. 

24 And by the border of 7 Ben'ja-min, from 
the east side unto the west side, Sim'e-on shall 
have a portion. 

25 And by the border of 'Sim'e-on, from the 
east side unto the west side, is'sa-char a por- 
tion. 

26 And by the border of Is'sa-char, from 
the east side unto the west side, Zeb'u-lun a 
portion. 

27 And by the border of Zeb'u-lun, from the 
east side unto the west side, Gad a portion. 

28 And by the border of Gad, at the south 
side southward, the border shall be even from 
."Ta'mar unto the waters of * strife in Ka'desh, 
and to the river toward the great sea. 

29 This is the land which ye shall divide by 
lot unto the tribes of Is'ra-el for inheritance, 
and these are their portions, saith the Lord 
God. 

30 r And these are the goings out of the city 
on the north side, four thousand and five hun- 
dred measures. 

31 And the 'gates of the city shall be after 
the names of the tribes of Is'ra-el: three gates 
northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of 
Ju'dah, one gate of Le'vi. 

32 And at the east side four thousand and 
five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of 
JS'seph, one gate of Ben'ja-min. one gate of 
Dan. 

33 And at the south side four thousand and 
five hundred measures: and three gates; one 
gate of Sim'e-on, one gate of Is'sa-char, one 
gate of Zeb'u-lun.

hundred, with their three gates; one gate of 
Gad, one gate of Ash'er, one gate of Naph'-

measures: and the name of the city from that

your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets 
and righteous men have desired to see "those things which ye see, and 
have not seen them; and tc hear those things which ye hear, and have 
not heard them. (Mat. 13:16, 17.) And I, if I be lifted up from the 
earth, will draw all men unto me. (Jno. 12:32.) Unto the angel of the 
church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven 
stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden 
candlesticks. (Rev. 2:1.) And I heard a great voice out of heaven, 
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell 
with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with 
them, and be their God. (Rev. 21:3.) 

g. Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying. There 
cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side 
Syria: and, behold, thev be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi. (II Chr. 
20:2.) 

h. Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation 
into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesr ; 
and Miriam died there, and was buried there (1). This is the water of 
Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he 
was sanctified in them. (Num. 20:1, 13.) They angered him also at the 
waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes. (Ps. 
106:32.) 

i. Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting for destruc- 
tion within thy borders: but thou shalt call thv walls Salvation, and 
thy gates Praise. (Is. 60:18.) And had a wall great and high, and had 
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, 
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. (Rev. 
21:12.i 

j. Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it 
Jehovah-sLalom: unto this day it is vet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

THE 



BOOK OF DANIEL 



XOTE. — The Book of Daniel receives its name from him who is not only the most important personage in it, but also was until lat 3 years regarded as the 
author, at least in the main. However, many recent Christian scholars have come to the conclusion that the book belongs more particularly to the age of 
Autiochus Epiphanes (B. C. 175-163), although a majority of scholars still hold to the view that Daniel was the author. The book falls into two divisions. 
L'hs. 1-G give the history of Daniel; chs. 7-12. visions and revelations to Daniel. The book is not to be regarded either as a history or as a biography, but rather 
as a vision from heaven, in which the mysteries of the past, present and future had the veil lifted from over them in symbolic pictures and thus revealed through 
the prophet to the world "God's view of things." The world, people, powers and principalities were seen by the prophet and recorded as "they appear before 
the throne of God." The purpose of the book is to show the extraordinary and wonderful means which Jehovah made use of in a period of the deepest misery, 
when the theocracy seemed dissolved and rapidly approaching its utter destruction, to afford assistance to his people, showing that he had not entirely forsaken 
them, that his presence still continued with them, even without the temple and beyond the land of promise. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Jehoiakim's captivity. 3 Ashpenaz taketh 
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 8 
They refusing the king's portion do prosper 
with pulse and ivater. 17 Their excellency 
in wisdom. 

1 In the third 'year of the reign of Je-hoi'a- 
kim king of Ju'dah came Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
king of Baby-Ion unto Je-ru'sa-lem, and be- 
sieged it. 

2 And the Lord gave Je-hoi'a-kim king of 
Ju'dah into his hand, with part of the vessels 
a of the house of God: which he carried into 
the land of Shi'nar to the house of his god; 
and he brought the vessels into the treasure 
house of his god. 

3 r , And the king spake unto Ash'pe-naz the 
master of his J eunuchs, that he should bring 
certain of the children of ts'ra-el, and of the 
king's seed, and of the princes; 

4 Children in whom was 6 no blemish, but 
well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and 
cunning in knowledge, and understanding 
science, and such as had ability in them to 
stand in the king's palace, and whom they 
might teach the learning and the tongue of the 
Chal-de'ans. 

5 And the king appointed them a daily pro- 
vision of the 'king's meat, and of the wine 
which he drank: so nourishing them three 
years, that at the end thereof they might stand 
before the king. 

6 Now among these were of the children of 
4 Ju'dah, Dan'iel, Han-a-ni'ah, Mish'a-el, and 
Az-a-ri'ah. 

7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave 
names: for °he gave unto Dan'iel the name of 
Bel-te-shaz'zar; and to Han-a-ni'ah, of Sha'- 
drach; and to Mish'a-el, of Me'shach; and to 
Az-a-ri'ah, of A-bed'-ne-go. 

8 H But Dan'iel purposed in his heart that 
he would not 'defile himself ''with the portion 
of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he 
drank: therefore he requested of the prince 
of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 

9 Now e God had brought Dan'iel into favour 
and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 

10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto 
Dan'iel, I fear my lord the king, who hath 
appointed your meat and your drink: for why 



Ch. 1. B. C. 607-606. 

1. Of the reign of Jehoiakim, Jere- 
emiah takes notice of the fraction 
of the first year, hence gives the 
same date as the fourth year. Daniel 
does not count the fraction of the first 
year. (Jer. 25:1)— "The word that 
came to Jeremiah concerning all the 
people of Judah in the fourth year of 
Jehoiakim was the first year of Nebu- 
chadnezzar, king of Babylon." 



That is,- courtiers. 



3. Dainties. 



4. The noblest tribe, the one to 
which the "king's seed" belonged. 

5. Because to do so would have 
given sanction to idolatry, but Dan- 
iel, like Moses, "chose rather to suf- 
fer affliction with the people of God 
than to enjoy the pleasures of sin 
for a season." 



6. Thus God had made one of the 
despised covenant people eclipse the 
Chaldean sages in the very science in 
which they most prided themselves. 

7. Hero and traditional author of 
the Book of Daniel; a man of high 
physical and intellectual endowments, 
taken by Nebuchadnezzar in the third 
year of Jehoiakim into Babylonian 
exile. Together with three compan- 
ions he was assigned to be educated 
at the king's court. They all refused 
to defile themselves by eating of the 
royal food, by which eating they 
would seem to be honoring . the idol- 
atrous spirit. They were rewarded 
for their fidelity by being given fairer 
appearances than any of the other 
youths, also superior understanding 
and wisdom to all the wise men of the 
realm. After all the wise men had 
failed to interpret the king's dream, 
Daniel was called for and furnished 
the interpretation thereof and was 
made ruler over all Babylon. After 
the death of Nebuchadnezzar, he was 
again forced into the background until 
the handwriting on the wall, during 
Belshazzar's feast. Again the wise 
men of the realm failed, and Daniel 
was called to give the interpretation. 
A conspiracy was raised against him 
and he was thrown into the den of 
lions, but Jehovah was with him and 
the animals harmed him not. His 
accusers were then throwu into the 
den and were fiercely devoured by 
the animals, thus causing the nations 
to fear and tremble at the name of 
Daniel's God. 



should he see your faces worse liking than the 
children which are of your sort? then shall 
ye make me endanger my head to the king. 

11 Then said Dan'iel to Mel'zar, whom the 
prince of the eunuchs had set over Dan'iel, 
Han-a-ni'ah, Mish'a-el, and Az-a-ri'ah, 

12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten 
days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and 
water to drink. 

13 Then let our countenances be looked upon 
before thee, and the countenance of the chil- 
dren that eat of the portion of the king's meat : 
and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. 

14 So he consented to them in this matter, 
and proved them ten days. 

15 And at the end of ten days their coun- 
tenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh 
than all the children which did eat the. portion 
of the king's meat. 

16 Thus Mel'zar took away the portion of 
their meat, and the wine that they should 
drink; and gave them pulse. 

17 IT As for these four children, ^God "gave 
them ^knowledge and skill in all learning and 
wisdom: and 7 Dan'iel had understanding in all 
visions and dreams. 

18 Now at the end of the days that the king 
had said he should bring them in, then the 
prince of the eunuchs brought them in before 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar. 

19 And the king communed with them; and 
among them all was found none like Dan'iel, 
Han-a-ni'ah, Mish'a-el, and Az-a-ri'ah: there- 
fore stood they before the king. 

20 And in all matters of wisdom and under- 
standing, that the king enquired of them, he 
found them ten times better than all the ma- 
gicians and astrologers that were in all his 
realm. 

21 And ''Dan'iel continued even unto the 
first year of king 'Cy'rus.

Ref. Daniel. Chapter 1. 

a. Belshazzar, whilst he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the 
golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken 
out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, 
his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. (Dan. 5:2.) Nebu- 
chadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Bab- 
ylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. (II Chr. 36:7.) For thus 
said the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, 
and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels 
that remain in this city, Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took 
not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king 
of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and 
Jerusalem. (Jer. 27:19, 20.) 

b. And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, 
so shall it be done to him. (Lev. 24:19.) 

c. Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and under- 
standing, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, 
and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the 
king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show 
the interpretation. (Dan. 5:12.) 

d. And the Lord said. Even thus shall the children of Israel eat 
their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. (Ez. 
4:13.) Abstain from all appearance of evil. (I Thess. 5:22.) 

e. But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave 
him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. (Gen. 39:21.) And 
forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their trans- 



gressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them 
compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have 
compassion on them. (I Ks. 8:50.) When a man's ways please the 
Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Prov. 
16:7.) 

f. Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee 
a wise and au understanding heart; so that there was none like thee 
before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. (I Ks. 
3:12.) This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful 
in counsel, and excellent in working. (Is. 28:29.) If any of you lack 
wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and up- 
braideth not; and it shall be given him. (Js. 1:5.) 

g. And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and 
was mighty in words and in deeds. (Acts 7:22.) 

h. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign 
of Cyrus the Persian. (Dan. 6:28.) 

i. Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand 
I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I .will loose the loins 
of kings, to open before him the two-leaved gates; and the gates shall 
not be shut (1). For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, 
I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou 
hast not known me (4). That they may know from the rising of the 
sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am the Lord, 
and there is none else (6). I have raised him up in righteousness, and 
I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my 
captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts. (Is. 
45:1, 4, 6, 13.)

u-chad-nez'zar Neb-u-chad-nez'zar dreamed 
dreams, wherewith his "spirit was troubled, 
and 6 his sleep brake from him. 

2 Then c the king commanded to call the ma- 
gicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, 
and the Chal-de'ans, for to shew the king his 
dreams. So they came and stood before the 
king. 

3 And the king said unto them, I have 
dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled 
to know the dream. 

4 1 Then spake the Chal-de'ans to the king in 
Syrl-ack, king, live for ever: tell thy serv- 
ants the dream, and we will shew the inter- 
pretation. 

5 The king answered and said to the Chal- 
de'ans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will 
not make known unto me the dream, with the 
interpretation thereof, ye shall be d cut in 
pieces, and your houses shall be made a dung- 
hill. 

6 But if ye shew the dream, and the inter- 
pretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts 
and c rewards and great honour : therefore shew 
me the dream, and the interpellation thereof. 

7 They answered again and said, Let the 
king tell his servants the dream, and we will 
shew the interpretation of it. 

8 The king answered and said, I know of 
certainty that ye would gain the time, because 
ye see the thing is gone from me. 

9 But if ye will not make known unto me 
the dream, ''there is but one decree for you: 
for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words 
to speak before me, till the time "be changed : 
therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know 
that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof. 

10 *~ The Chal-de'ans ^answered before the 
king, and said, There is not a man upon the 
earth that can shew the king's matter: there- 
fore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that 
asked such things at any magician, or astrol- 
oger, or Chal-de'an. 

11 And it is a rare thing that the king re- 
quireth, and there is none other that can shew 
it before the king, "except the gods, whose 
dwelling is not with flesh. 

12 For this cause the ''king was angry and 
very furious, and commanded to destroy all the 
wise men of Baby-Ion. 

13 And the decree went forth that the wise 
men should be slain; and they sought Dan'iel 
and his fellows to be slain. 

14 If Then Dan'iel answered with counsel and 
wisdom to A'ri-och the 'captain of the king's 
guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise 
men of Bab'y-lon. 

15 He answered and said to A'ri-och the

1. With this Terse the Chaldee 
portion of Daniel begins and extends 
to close of ch. 7. It treats of the 
character of the Gentile power. The 
remaining portion of the book was 
in Hebrew and treated largely of 
the Jews. 



2. Heretofore the magicians had 
been dealing with questions which 
were of such a nature that they could 
easily mislead the interested parties, 
but in this instance when the king 
demanded that they tell him the 
dream as well as the interpretation, 
they were for the first time, perhaps, 
face to face with a proposition which 
would prove them to be as the king 
suggested, true or false diviners. 



3. Like many another, Arioeh 
would leave the impression that he

king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty 
from the king? Then A'ri-och made the thing 
known to Dan'iel. 

16 Then Dan'iel went in, and desired of the 
king that he would give him time, and that he 
would shew the king the interpretation. 

17 Then Dan'iel went to his house, and made 
the thing known to Han-a-ni'ah, Mish'a-el, and 
Az-a-ri'ah, his companions: 

18 That they would desire mercies of the 
God of heaven concerning this secret; that 
Dan'iel and his fellows should not perish with 
the rest of the wise men of Bab'y-lon. 

19 1 Then was the secret revealed unto Dan'- 
iel -'in a night vision. Then Dan'iel blessed the 
God of heaven. 

20 Dan'iel answered and said, Blessed be the 
name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom 
and might are his: 

21 And he changeth *the times and the sea- 
sons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: 
'he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowl- 
edge to them that know understanding: 

22 He "'revealeth the deep and secret things : 
he knoweth what is in the darkness, and "the 
light dwelleth with him. 

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, thou God 
of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and 
might, and hast made known unto me now 
what we desired of thee: for thou hast now 
made known unto us the king's matter L 

24 *^ Therefore Dan'iel went in unto A'ri-och, 
whom the king had ordained to destroy the 
wise men of Bab'y-lon: he went and said thus 
unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Bab'y- 
lon : bring me in before the king, and I will 
shew unto the king the interpretation. 

25 Then A'ri-och brought in Dan'iel before 
the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I 
have found a Tnan of the captives of Ju'dah, 
that will make known unto the king the in- 
terpretation. 

26 The king answered and said to Dan'iel, 
whose name was Bel-te-shaz'zar, Art thou able 
to make known unto me the dream which I 
have seen, and the interpretation thereof? 

27 4 Dan'iel answered in the presence of the 
king, and said, The secret which the king hath 
demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, 
the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the 
king; 

28 "But there is a God in heaven that re- 
vealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar what shall be in the latter 
days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head 
upon thy bed, are these;

into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come 



Chapter 2. 

a. And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled: 
and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise 
men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dreams: but there was none 
that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. (Gen. 41:8.) For God speaketh 
once, yet twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of 
the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the 
bed: Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 
That he mav withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 
(Job. 33:14-17.) 

b. On that night could not the king sleep: and he commanded to 
bring the book of records of the Chronicles; and they were read before 
the king. (Esth. 0:1.) 

e. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now 
the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their en- 
chantments. (Ex. 7:11.) Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy 
counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prog- 
nosticators, stand up and save thee from these things that shall come 
upon thee. Behold, they shall he as stubble; the fire shall burn them; 
they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there 
shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. (Is. 47:13. 14.) 

d. Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, 
let timber be pulled down from his house, and, being set up, let him be 
hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this. (Ezra 
6:11.) 

e. Then Daniel answered and said before the king. Let thy gifts 
be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the 
writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. (Dan. 
5:17.) 

f. Al! the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces. 
do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the 
Jting into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to 



put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the 
golden sceptre, that he may live; but I have not been called to come 
in unto the king these thirty days. (Esth. 4:11.) 

g. There is a man in thy kingdom In whom is the spirit of the 
holy gods: and in the days of thy father, light and understanding and 
wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king 
Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of 
the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. (Dan. 5:U.) 
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; 
but with God all things are possible. (Mat. 19:26.) 

h. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which 
frameth mischief by a law? (Ps. 94:20.) As a roaring lion, and a rang- 
ing bear: so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. (Prov. 28:15.) 

i. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer

j. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon 
men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, 
and sealeth their instruction. (Job 33:15, 16.) 

k. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, 
nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and 
setteth up another. (Ps. 75:6, 7.)

men liberally, and upbraideth not: and it shall be given him. (Js. 1:5.)

to pass hereafter : and he that revealeth secrets 
maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. 

30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed 
to me for any wisdom that I have more than 
any living, but for their sakes that shall make 
known the interpretation to the king, and that 
thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. 

31 K Thou, king, 5 sawest, and behold a 
great image. This great image, whose bright- 
ness was excellent, stood before thee; and the 
form thereof was terrible. 

32 This image's "head was of fine gold, his 
breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his 
thighs of brass, 

33 His T legs of iron, his feet part of iron 
and part of clay. 

34 Thou sawest till that a s stone was cut out 
Pivithout ''hands, which smote the image upon 
his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake 
them to pieces. 

35 Then ivas the iron, the clay, the brass, the 
silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, 
and became like the chaff of the summer 
threshing floors; and the wind carried them 
aivay, that no place was found for them: and 
the stone that smote the image ^became a great 
mountain, and filled the whole earth. 

36 If This is the dream ; and we will tell the 
interpretation thereof before the king. 

37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for 
the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, 
power, and strength, and glory. 

38 And wheresoever the children of men 
dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of 
the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and 
hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art 
this head of gold. 

39 And after thee shall arise another king- 
dom inferior to thee, and another third king- 
dom of brass, which shall bear rule over all 
the earth. 

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong 
as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces 
and subdueth all things: and as iron that 
breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and 
bruise. 

41 And whereas thou sawest 10 the feet and 
toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, 
the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall 
be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch 
as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of 
iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be 
partly strong, and partly broken. 

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with 
miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with 
the seed of men : but they shall not cleave one 
to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 

44 And in the "days' of these kings shall the

of iron and clay. It will be ob- 
served that only those kingdoms are 
mentioned which were sustaining some 
relation to the kingdom of God.

shall set up a kingdom. (V. 44.)

1 In this ch. is recorded tbe ac- 
count of the great idol made by 
Nebuchadnezzar, also deliverance of 
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego 
from the fiery furnace. 



2. Though Nebuchadnezzar made a 
confession of God, still he continued 
to worship idols. 



3. Recent explorations prove Baby- 
lon to have been a nation of many 
languages; in fact, its population was 
as thoroughly mixed as that of New 
York at the present day (1904). 



God of heaven set up a kingdom, which 'shall 
never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not 
be left to other people, but s it shall break in 
pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it 
shall stand for ever. 

4-5 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone 
was cut out of the mountain vjithout hands, 
and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, 
the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great 
God hath made known to the king what shall 
come to pass hereafter: and the dream is cer- 
tain, and the interpretation thereof sure. 

46 If Then the 'king Neb-u-chad-nez'zar fell 
upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and 
commanded that they should offer an oblation 
and sweet odours unto him. 

47 The king answered unto Dan'iel, and 
said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God 
of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of 
secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. 

48 Then the king made Dan'iel a great man, 
and gave him many great gifts, and made him 
ruler over the whole province of Bab'y-lon, and 
chief of the governors over all the wise men of 
Bab'y-lon. 

49 Then Dan'iel requested of the king, and 
he "set Sha'drach, Me'shach, and A-bed'-ne-go, 
over the affairs of the province of Bab'y-lon: 
but Dan'iel sat in the gate of the king. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 Nebuchadnezzar dedicateth a golden image 
^n Dura. 8 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego are accused for not zvorshipping the 
image. 19 God delivereth them out of the 
furnace. 

1 "Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king made an im- 
age 2 of gold, whose height was threescore 
cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he 
set it up in the plain of Du'ra, in the province 
of Bab'y-lon. 

2 Then Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king sent to 
gather together the princes, the governors, and 
the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the 
counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of 
the provinces, to come to the dedication of the 
image which Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king had 
set up. 

3 Then the princes, the governors, and cap- 
tains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsel- 
lors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the 
provinces, were gathered together unto the 
dedication of the image that Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar the king had set up; and they stood before 
the image that Neb-u-chad-nez'zar had set up. 

4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you "it is 
commanded. O people, nations, and 'languages, 

5 That at what time ye hear the sound of 
the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulci- 



the mountains, and createth the wind, and deelareth unto man what is his 
thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high 
places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name. (Amos 
4:13.) 

p. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word 
of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but 
by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 4:6.) And I say also unto 
thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; 
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it-. (Mat. 16:18.) For we 
know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we 
have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the 
heavens. (II Cor. 5:1.) 

q. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of 
the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and 
shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall 'flow unto it. (Is. 
2:2.) 

r. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) Yet have I set my king upon my holy 
hill of Zion (6). Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the 
way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that 
put their trust in him. (Ps. 2:6, 12.) How great are his signs! and 
how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, 
and his dominion is from generation to generation (3). And at the end 
of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and 
mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and 
I praised and honored him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an 
everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation. 
(Dan. 4:3, 34.) I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom 
men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, 
and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be de- 



stroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. (Dan. 6:26.) He 
shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the 
Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. (Luke 
1:32.) 

s. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them 
in pieces like a potter's vessel. (Ps. 2:9.) The Lord said unto my Lord, 
Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 
110:1.) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the king- 
dom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule 
and all authority and power. (I Cor. 15:24.) 

t. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down 
at his feet, and worshipped him. (Acts 10:25.) Then the priest of Ju- 
piter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the 
gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the 
apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran 
in among the people, crying out, And saying. Sirs, why do ye these 
things? We also are men of like passions with yau, and preach unto 
you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which 
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein. 
(Acts 14:13-15.) And I John saw these things, and heard them. And 
when I had heard and seen,. I fell down to worship before the feet of 
the angel which showed me these things. Then saith he unto me. See 
thou do it not: for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the 
prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship 
God. (Rev. 22, 8, 9.) 

u. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when 
the wicked rise, a man is hidden. (Prov. 28:12.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with, thee, which 
frameth mischief by a law? (Ps. 94:20.)

mer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and 
■worship the golden image that Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar the king hath set up: 

6 And whoso falleth not down and worship- 
ped shall the same hour be cast into the midst 
of 5 a 'burning fiery furnace. 

7 Therefore at that time, when all the people 
heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sack- 
but, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the 
people, the nations, and the languages, fell 
down and worshipped the golden image that 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king had set up. 

8 r Wherefore at that time certain Chal-de'- 
ans came near, and ""accused the Jews. 

9 They spake and said to the king Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar, king, live for ever. 

10 Thou, king, hast made a decree, that 
every man that :-hall hear the sound of the 
comet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulci- 
mer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down 
and worship the golden image: 

11 And whoso falleth not down and worship- 
peth, that he should be cast into the midst of 
a burning fiery furnace. 

12 There are certain = Jews whom thou hast 
set over the affairs of the province of Bab'y- 
lon, Sha'drach, Me'shach, and A-bed'-ne-go; 
these men, king, have not regarded thee: 
they serve not thy gods, nor worship the 
golden image which thou hast set up. 

13 *~ Then Neb-u-chad-nez'zar in his rage 
and fury commanded to bring Sha'drach, Me'- 
shach, and A-bed'-ne-go. Then d they brought 
these men before the king. 

14 Neb-u-chad-nez'zar spake and said unto 
them, Is it true, Sha'drach, Me'shach, and 
A-bed'-ne-go, do not ye serve my gods, nor 
worship the golden image which I have set up? 

15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye 
hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sack- 
but, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of 
musick, ye fall down and worship the image 
which I have made; well: but if ye worship 
not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the 
midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is 
that God that shall deliver you out of my 
hands? 

16 Sha'drach. Me'shach, and A-bed'-ne-go, 
answered and said to the king, Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar, we c are not careful to answer thee in 
this matter. 

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is 
able to deliver us from the burning fiery fur- 
nace, and he fwill deliver us out of thine hand. 
O king. 

18 But if not, she it known unto thee, 
king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor 
worship the golden image which thou hast 
set up. 



4. An order aimed at the Jews by 
those who were jealous of their high 
position iH the king's court. 



5. The charge is here made that 

those certain Jews to whom the king 

had granted such favors had fre- 
quently disobeyed his edicts. 



6. It was an ancient eastern cus- 
tom to say of a man who was angry 
with another. "His face is black 
against him." 



7. The rod they had hoped to bring 
down in the wrath upon the hated 
covenant people fell in retribution 
upon themselves. 



19 r Then was Neb-u-chad-nez'zar full of 
fury, and the form 'of his visage was changed 
against Sha'drach, Me'shach, and A-bed'-ne- 
g5: therefore he spake, and commanded that 
they should heat the furnace one seven times 
more than it was wont to be heated. 

20 And he commanded the most mighty men 
that were in his army to bind Sha'drach, Me'- 
shach, and A-bed'-ne-go, and to cast them into 
the burning fiery furnace. 

21 Then these men were bound in their 
coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their 
other garments, and were cast into the midst 
of the burning fiery furnace. 

22 Therefore because the king's command- 
ment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding 
hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that 
took up Sha'drach, Me'shach, and A-bed'-ne-go. 

23 And these three men, Sha'drach, Me'- 
shach, and A-bed'-ne-go, fell down ''bound into 
the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 

24 Then Neb-u-chad-nez'zar the king was 
astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and 
said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three 
men bound into the midst of the fire? They 
answered and said unto the king, True, king. 

25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men 
loose, 'walking in the midst of the fire, and 
they have no hurt ; and the form of the fourth 
is like the Son of God. 

26 r Then Neb-u-chad-nez'zar came near to 
the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and 
spake, and said, Sha'drach, Me'shach, and 
A-bed'-ne-go, ye servants of the most high 
God, come forth, and come hither. Then Sha'- 
drach, Me'shach, and A-bed'-ne-go, came forth 
of the midst of the fire. 

27 And the princes, governors, and captains, 
and the king's counsellors, being gathered to- 
gether, saw these men, -'upon whose bodies the 
fire had no power, nor was an hair of their 
head singed, neither were their coats changed, 
nor the smell of fire had passed on them. 

28 Then Neb-u-chad-nez'zar spake, and said, 
Blessed be the God of Sha'drach, Me'shach, 
and A-bed'-ne-go, who hath sent his angel, and 
delivered his servants that ^'trusted in him, 
and have changed the king's word, and yielded 
their bodies, that they might not serve nor 
worship any god, except their own God. 

29 Therefore I make a 7 decree, That every 
people, nation, and language, which speak any 
thing amiss against the God of Sha'drach, Me'- 

, shach, and A-bed'-ne-go, shall be cut in pieces, 
i and their houses shall be made a dunghill : be- 
cause there is no other God that can deliver 
after this sort. 

30 Then the king promoted Sha'drach, Me'- 
shach, and A-bed'-ne-go, in the province of 
Babv-lon. 



b. And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of 
Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The Lord make thee like Zedekiah, 
arid like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire. (Jer. 29:22.) 
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the 
image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would 
not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (Rev. 13:15.) 

c. And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they 
had shown him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to 
destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahas- 
uerus, even the people of Mordecai. (Esth. 3:6.) 

d. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to 
councils: and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be 
brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against 
them. fMk. 13:9.) 

e. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye 
shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall 
speak. (Mat. 10:19.) ' But none of these things moved me, neither count 
I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, 
and- the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify 
the gospel of the grace of God. (Acts 20:24.) 

f. David said moreover. The Lord .that delivered me out of the 
paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me 
out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and 
the Lord be with thee. (I Sam. 17:37.) Who delivered us from so great 
a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will vet deliver us. 
(II Cor. 1:10.) 

g. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men. him will I 
confess also before my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 10:32.) Choos- 
ing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God. than to enjoy the 
pleasures of sin for a season. (Heb. 11:25.) And who is he that' will 



harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye 
suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye; and be not afraid of their 
terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: 
and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you 
a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. (I Pet. 
3:13-15.) 

h. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him. upon 
them that hope in his mercy. (Ps. 33:18.) I will say of the Lord, He is 
my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall 
deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pesti- 
lence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt 
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler (2-4). A thousand 
shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall 
not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see 
the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord which is 
my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation. (Ps. 91:2-4. 7-9.) And 
what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and 
of Barak, and of Samsoji. and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, 
and of the prophets. (Heb. 11:32.) 

i. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall 
he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. (Is 42:3.) 
See Is. 43:2. 

j. They shall take up serpents: and if they drink any deadly thing, 
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall 
recover. (Mk. 16:18.) Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of 
the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, 
turned to flight the armies of the aliens. (Heb. 11:34.) 

k. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that 
trusteth in him. (Ps. 34:8.) Blessed is the man that trusteth in tha 
Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. (Jer. 17:7.)

1 Nebuchadnezzar confesseth God's kingdom, 
4 maketh relation of his dreams. 8 Daniel 
heareth the dream. 19 He interpreteth it. 

1 ^eb-u-chad-nez'zar the king, unto all 
'people, nations, and languages, that dwell in 
all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 

2 I thought it good to shew the signs and 
wonders Hhat the high God hath wrought to- 
ward me. 

3 How c great are his signs ! and how mighty 
are his wonders! his kingdom is d an everlast- 
ing kingdom, and his dominion is from gen- 
eration to generation. 

4 *; I Neb-u-chad-nez'zar was at rest in mine 
house, and nourishing in my palace: 

5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, c and 
the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of 
my head ''troubled me. 

6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all 
the wise men of Baby-Ion before me, that they 
might make known unto me the interpretation 
of the dream. 

7 Then "came in the magicians, the astrol- 
ogers, the Chal-de'an§, and the soothsayers: 
and I told the dream before them; but they did 
not make known unto me the interpretation 
thereof. 

8 If But at the last 2 Dan'iel came in before 
me, whose name was Bel-te-shaz'zar, accord- 
ing to the name of my god, and in whom is 
the ^spirit of the holy gods: and before him I 
told the dream, saying, 

9 Bel-te-shaz'zar, master of the magicians, 
because I know that the spirit of the holy gods 
is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me 
the visions of my dream that I have seen, and 
the interpretation thereof. 

10 Thus were the visions of mine head in 
my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst 
of the earth, and the height thereof was great. 

11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the 
height thereof reached unto heaven, and the 
sight thereof to the end of all the earth: 

12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the 
fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all : 
'the beasts of the field 'had shadow under it, 
and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs 
thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. 

13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my 
bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy "one 
'came down from heaven; 

14 He cried aloud, and said thus, 7i 'Hew down 
the tree,' and cut off his branches, shake off his 
leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the ? beasts 
get away from under it, and the fowls from his 
branches : 

15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots 
in the earth, even with a band of iron and

19 If Then Dan'iel, whose name was Bel-te- 
shaz'zar, was astonied for one hour, and his 
thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and 
said, Bel-te-shaz'zar, let not the dream, or the 
interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Bel-te- 
shaz'zar answered and said, My lord, the 
dream be to them that hate thee, and the in- 
terpretation thereof to thine enemies. 

20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, 
and was strong, whose height reached unto the 
heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; 

21 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit 
thereof much, and in it was meat for all; 
under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and 
upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven 
had their habitation: 

22 It is thou, king, that art grown and 
become strong: "for thy greatness is grown, 
and reacheth unto heaven, "and thy dominion 
to the end of the earth. 

23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and 
an holy one coming down from heaven, and 
saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; 
yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the 
earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in 
the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet 
with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be 
with the beasts of the field, till seven times 
pass over him; 

24 This is the interpretation, O king, and 
this is the decree of the most High, which is 
come upon my lord the king: 

25 That they shall drive thee from men, and 
thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the 
field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as 
oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of 
heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, 
°till thou know that the most High ruleth in 
the kingdom of men, and giveth it to Pwhomso- 
ever he will. 



Chapter 4. 

a. See Dan. 3:4. 

b. See ch. 3:26. 
e. See ch. 6:27. 

d. See ch. 2:44. 

e. But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh 
known to. the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. 
Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these. (Dan. 
2:28.) 

f. And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebu- 
chadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his 
sleep brake from him. (Dan. 2:1.) 

g. And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; 
and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise 
men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none 
that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. (Gen. 41:8.) And when they 
shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto 
wizards that peep and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their 
God? for the living to the dead? (Is. 8:19.) 

h. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will 
show them his covenant. (Ps. 25:14.) 

1. All the fowls of heaven made their nes-.s in his boughs, and 
under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, 
and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. (Bz. 31:6.) 

j. And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir 
unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten 
thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 
(Dt. 33:2.) Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I 
say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face 
of my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 18:10.) 



k. Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be 
afraid? shall there be evil in the city, and the Lord hath not done it? 
(Amos 3:6.) And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: 
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, 
and cast into the fire. (Mat. 3:10.) 

1. And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and 
have left him upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches 
are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and 
all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have 
left him. (Ez. 31:12.) 

m. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, 
art the Most High over all the earth. (Ps. 83:18.) 

n. And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebu- 
chadnezzar the king of Babylon, my 6ervant; and the beasts of the 
field have I given him also to serve him. And all nations shall servo 
him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land 
come; and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves 
of him. (Jer. 27:6, 7.) 

o. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the 
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Ps. 
9:16.) And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for 
they shall wisely consider of his doing. (Ps. 64:9.) That men may 
know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over 
all the earth. (Ps. 83:18.) 

p. I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon 
the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have 
given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. (Jer. 27:5.)

2G And whereas they commanded to leave 
the stump of the tree roots ; thy kingdom shall 
Le sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have 
known that the heavens do rule. 

27 Wherefore, king, let my counsel be ac- 
ceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins . by 
righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing 
mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening 
of thy tranquillity. • 

28 If All this came upon the king Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar. 

29 At the end of 6 twelve months he walked 
in the palace of the kingdom of Bab'y-lon. 

30 The king spake, and said, Is not this 
great Bab'y-lon, that I have built for the house 
of the kingdom by the might of my power, and 
for the honour of my majesty? 

31 While the word was in the king's mouth, 
there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar, to thee it is spoken; The 
kingdom is departed from thee. 

32 And they shall drive thee from men, and 
thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the 
field: they shall make thee to eat grass as 
oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, 
until thou know that the most High ruleth in 
the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomso- 
ever he will. 

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled 
upon Neb-u-chad-nez'zar: and he was driven 
from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his 
body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his 
hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his 
nails like birds' claws. 

34 And at the end of the days I Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and 
mine understanding returned unto me, and I 
blessed the most High, and I praised and hon- 
oured him that liveth for ever, whcfee dominion 
is 5an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom 
is from generation to generation : 

35 And 'all the inhabitants of the earth are 
reputed as nothing: and s he doeth according to 
his will in the army of heaven, and among the 
inhabitants of the earth: and f none can stay 
his hand, or say unto him, "What doest thou? 

36 'At the same time my reason returned 
unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, 
mine honour and brightness returned unto me; 
and my counsellors and my lords sought unto 
me; and I was established in my kingdom, and 
excellent majesty was added t- unto me. 

37 Now I Neb-u-chad-nez'zar praise and ex- 
tol and honour the King of heaven, w all whose 
works are truth, and his ways judgment: and 
those that walk in pride ^he is able to abase. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 Belshazzar's impious feast. 5 A handwrit- 
ing, unknown to the magicians, troubleth the 
king. 
1 'Bel-shaz'zar the king made a great feast 

to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine 

before the thousand. 



6. A respite granted to him that 
he might be without excuse, as the 
120 years were granted before the 
flood. (Gen. 6:3)— "And the Lord 
said. My spirit shall not always 
strive with man. for that he also is 
flesh, yet his days shall be 120 years." 



7. G. V. Smith, of the East India 
Museum Co.. says an inscription has 
been found containing a record of Neb- 
uchadnezzar's insanity. 



Ch. 5. B. C. 538. 



1. In this ch. is given an account 
of Belshazzar's impious feast, also 
the handwriting on the wall and Dan- 
iel's interpretation thereof, declar- 
ing the doom of Babylon and its king. 



2. An act of either reckless or 
purposeful profanity. 



3. The hand was the organ of di- 
vine power. (Ezk. 8:3) — "And he put 
forth the form of a hand." 



2 Bel-shaz'zar, whiles he tasted the wine, 
commanded to bring the golden and silver ves- 
sels which his "father Neb-u-chad-nez'zar had 
taken out of the temple which was in Je-ru'sa- 
lem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, 
and his concubines, might ''drink therein. 

3 Then they brought the golden vessels that 
were taken out of the "temple of the house of 
God which was at Je-ru'sa-lem; and the king, 
and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, 
drank in them. 

4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of 
gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, 
and of stone. 

5 If c In the same hour came forth "fingers of 
a man's hand, and wrote over against the can- 
dlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the 
king's palace: and the king saw the part of 
the hand that wrote. 

6 Then the king's countenance was changed, 
and his thoughts troubled him, so that the 
joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees 
'smote one against another. 

7 The king cried aloud to bring in the ''as- 
trologers, the Chal-de'ans, and the soothsayers. 
And the king spake, and said to the wise men 
of Bab'y-lon, Whosoever shall read this writ- 
ing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, 
shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a. chain 
of gold about his neck, and shall be the third 
ruler in the kingdom. 

8 Then came in ail the king's wise men: but 
"they could not read the writing, nor make 
known to the king the interpretation thereof. 

9 Then was king Bel-shaz'zar greatly trou- 
bled, and his countenance was changed in him, 
and his lords were astonied. 

10 If Now the queen by reason of the words 
of the king and his lords came into the banquet 
house: and the queen spake and said, king, 
live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble 
thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: 

11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom 
is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days 
of thy father light and understanding and wis- 
dom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found 
in him; whom the king Neb-u-chad-nez'zar thy 
father, the king, I say, thy father, made mas- 
ter of the magicians, astrologers, Chal-de'ans, 
and soothsayers; 

12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and 
knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of 
dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and 
dissolving of doubts, were found in the same 
Dan'iel, whom the king named Bel-te-shaz'zar: 
now let Dan'iel be called, and he will shew the 
interpretation. 

13 Then was Dan'iel brought in before the 
king. And the king spake and said unto Dan'- 
iel, Art thou that Dan'iel, which art of the 
children of the captivity of Ju'dah, whom the 
king my father brought out of Jew'ry? 

14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit 
of the gods is in thee, and that light and un- 



q. The Lord is King, for ever and ever. (Ps. 10:16.) But the Lord 
is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king. (Jer. 
10:10.) And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of 
his kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 1:33.) 

r. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth, and mine 
age is as nothing before thee; verily every man at his best state is 
altogether vanity. Selah. (Ps. 39:5.) Behold, the nations are as a drop 
of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, 
he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. (Is. 40:15.) 

s. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But 
our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 
(Ps. 115:2, 3.) 

t. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when 
he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against 
a nation, or against a man only. (Job 34:29.) 

u. Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto 
him. What doest thou? (Job 9:12.) Nay but, O man, who art thou that 
repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed 
it. Why hast thou made me thus? (Rom. 9:20.) 

V. By humility, and the fear of the Lord, are riches, honor, and 
life. (Prov. 22:4.) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his right- 
eousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) 

w. For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done 
in truth. (Ps. 33:4.) And they sing the song of Moses the servant of 



God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy 
works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of 
saiuts. (Rev. 15:3.) 

x. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the 
thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them. (Ex. 18:11.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, 
until the very time of his land come; and then many nations and great 
kings shall serve themselves of him. (Jer. 27:7.) 

b. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is de- 
ceived thereby is not wise. (Prob. 20:1.) 

c. While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from 
heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The king- 
dom is departed from thee. (Dan. 4:31.) 

d. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him 
to his feet. (Job 18:11.) 

e. She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and 
the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces 
of them all gather blackness. (Nah. 2:10.) 

f. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the 
astrologers, the stargazers. the monthly prognosticators, stand up and 
save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. (Is. 47:13.) 

g. Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret

derstanding and excellent wisdom is found in 
thee. 

15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, 
have been brought in before me, that they 
should read this writing, and make known unto 
me the interpretation thereof: but they could 
not shew the interpretation of the thing: 

16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst 
make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now 
if thou canst read the writing, and make 
known to me the interpretation thereof, thou 
shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain 
of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third 
ruler in the kingdom. 

17 II Then Dan'iel answered and said before 
the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give 
thy rewards to another; yet I will read the 
writing unto the king, and make known to him 
the interpretation. 

18 O thou king, ''the most high God gave 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar thy father a kingdom, and 
majesty, and glory, and honour: 

19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all 
'people, nations, and languages, trembled and 
feared before him: whom he would he slew; 
and whom he would he kept alive; and whom 
he would he set up ; and whom he would he put 
down. 

20 But when his heart Was lifted up, and 
his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed 
from his kingly throne,' and they took his glory 
from him : 

21 And he was driven from the sons of men; 
and his heart was made like the beasts, and 
his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed 
him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet 
with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the 
most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, 
and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he 
will. 

22 And thou his son, Bel-shaz'zar, ^'hast 
not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest 
all this; 

23 But hast ^'lifted up thyself against the 
Lord of heaven; and they have brought the ves- 
sels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy 
lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk 
wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods 
of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and 
stone, which see not, 'nor hear, nor know: 
and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and 
whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glori- 
fied: 



4. Thus restoring Daniel to 
Har rank be had held under 
chadnezzar.

Nebu- 



5. This statement is corroborated 
by Xenophon. 



Ch. 6. B. C. 537. 



1. This eh. records the fate and 
experience of Daniel, the righteous 
man, while in the power of a world- 
kingdom. He is cast into the lions' 
dei\ but the protecting band of Je- 
hovah delivers him from the beasts. 



2. The greatest testimony which 
could have been given Daniel was that 
bis enemies could find no fault in him 
save that he walked according to the 
law of bis God. 



3. The princes and all in authority 
with him. 



24 Then was the part of the hand sent from 
him; and this writing was written. 

25 *i\ And this is the writing that was writ- 
ten, ME'NE, Me'NE, TE'KEL, U-PHaR'SIN. 

26 This is the interpretation of the thing: 
ME'NE; God hath numbered '"thy kingdom, 
and finished it. 

27 TE'KEL; "Thou art weighed in the bal- 
ances, and art found wanting. 

28 Pe'ReS; Thy kingdom is divided, and 
given to the °Medes and ?Per'§ian§. 

29 Then commanded Bel-shaz'zar, and they 
clothed 4 Dan'iel with scarlet, and put a chain 
of gold about his neck, and made a proclama- 
tion concerning him, that he should be the 
third ruler in the kingdom. 

30 If In . that "might was Bel-shaz'zar the 
king of the Chal-de'ans slain. 

31 And Da-rl'us the Me'di-an took the king- 
dom, being about threescore and two years old. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Daniel is made chief of the presidents. 10 
He is cast into the lions' den. 18 He is 
saved. 24 His adversaries devoured. 

1 x It pleased Da-ri'us to set over the king- 
dom an hundred and twenty princes, which 
should be over the whole kingdom; 

2 And over these three presidents; of whom 
"Dan'iel was first: that the princes might give 
accounts unto them, and the king should have 
no damage. 

3 1'hen this Dan'iel was preferred above the 
presidents and princes, ''because 'an excellent 
spirit was in him; and the king thought to set 
him over the whole realm. 

4 If Then the presidents and princes sought 
to find occssion against Dan'iel concerning the 
kingdom; but they could find none occasion 
nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, 
neither was there any error or fault found in 
him. 

5 Then said these men, We shall not find 
any occasion against this Dan'iel, except we 
find it against him concerning the law 2 of his 
God. 

6 Then these presidents and princes assem- 
bled together to the king, and said thus unto 
him, King Da-ii'us, live for ever. 

7 All the "presidents of the kingdom, the 
governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and 
the captains, have consulted together to estab- 
lish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, 



which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the 
magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king. (Dan. 2:27.) 

h. Thou, king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath 
gi-ven thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. (Dan. 2:37.) 

i. Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith 
the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and 
will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, 
and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, 
and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desola- 
tions. (Jer. 25:9.) And all nations shall serve bim, and his son, and 
his son's son, until the very time of his land come; and then many 
nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him. (Jer. 27:7.) 

j. And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh bis 
father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more. 
(II Chr. 33:23.) And he did that which was evil in the sight o£ the Lord 
his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet, speaking 
from the mouth of the Lord. (II Chr. 3G:I2.) I will speak of thy tes- 
timonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. (Ps. 119:46.) 

k. Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the 
bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense 
her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto 
her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One 
of Israel. (Jer. 50:29.) 

1. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they 
see not; They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they 
smell not; They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but 
they walk not; neither speak they through their throat. They that 
make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. 
(Ps. 115:5, 8.) 

m. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, 
that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, 
for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it per- 
petual desolations. (Jer. 25:12.) 

n. Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine 
integrity. (Job 31:6.) Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men 
of high degree are a lie: to be laid in a balance, they are altogether 
lighter than vanity. (Ps. 62:9.) All the ways of a man are clean in his 
own eyes: but the Lord weigheth the spirits. (Prov. 16:2.) 

o. Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not 



regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Their bows 
also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity 
on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children. And Bab- 
ylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall 
be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. (Is. 13:17-19.) A 
grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth 
treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Blam: besiege, O 
Media: all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. (Is. 21:2.) Make 
bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit 
of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy 
it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple. 
Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, 
set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord bath both de- 
vised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon 
(11, 12). Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, 
the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his 
dominion. (Jer. 51:11, 12, 28.) 

p. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign 
of Cyrus the Persian. (Dan. 6:28.) 

q. One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet 
another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end 
(31). And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her cap- 
tains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a per- 
petual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of 
hosts. (Jer. 51:31, 57.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed, that thy 
house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: 
but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I 
will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. (I Sam. 
2:30.) 

b. The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promo- 
tion of fools. (Prov. 3:35.) At the beginning of thy supplications the 
commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou art 
greatly beloved: therefore understand' the matter, and consider the 
vision. (Dan. 9:23.) 

c. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, with- 
out rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among 
whom ye shine as lights in the world. (Phil. 2:15.) Having your con-

that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God 
or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, 
he shall be cast into the den of lions. 

8 Now, king, establish the decree, and 
sign the writing, that' it be not changed, ac- 
cording to the d law of the Medes and Persians, 
which altereth not. 

9 Wherefore king Da-ri'us signed the writ- 
ing and the decree. 

10 *~ Now when Dan'iel knew that the writ- 
ing was signed, he went into his house; and 
his windows being open in his chamber c toward 
Je-ru'sa-lem, he kneeled upon his knees 'three 
times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks be- 
fore his God, as he did aforetime. 

11 Then these men assembled, and found 
Dan'iel praying and making supplication be- 
fore his God. 

12 Then they came near, and spake before 
the king concerning the king's decree; Hast 
thou not signed a decree, that every man that 
shall ask a petition of any God or man within 
thirty days, save of thee, king, shall be cast 
into the den of lions? The king answered and 
said, The thing is true, according to the law 
of the Medes and Persians, which altereth 
not. 

13 Then answered they and said before the 
king, That Dan'iel, which is of the children of 
the captivity of Ju'dah, 4 regardeth not thee, 
king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but 
maketh his petition three times a day. 

14 Then the king, when he heard these 
words, was sore 5 displeased with himself, and 
set his heart on Dan'iel to deliver him: and 
he laboured till the going down of the sun to 
deliver him. 

15 Then these men assembled unto the king, 
and said unto the king, Know, king, that the 
law of the Medes and Per'sians is, That no 
decree nor statute which the king established 
may be changed. 

16 Then the king commanded, and they 
brought Dan'iel, and cast him into the den of 
lions. Now the king spake and said unto Dan- 
iel, "Thy God e whom thou servest continually, 
he will deliver thee. 

17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon 
the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it 
with his own signet, and with the signet of his 
lords; that the purpose might not be changed 
concerning Dan'iel. 

18 r Then the king went to his palace, and 
passed the night fasting: neither were instru- 
ments of musick brought before him: and his 
sleep went from him. 

19 Then the king arose very early in the 
morning, and went in haste unto the den of 
lions. 

20 And when he came to the den, he cried 
with a lamentable voice unto Dan'iel: and the 
king spake and said to Dan'iel, O Dan'iel, 



4. They only mention the fact of I 
bis captivity, refraining from men- j 
tioning that he had ever been prime 
minister. 



5. For allowing himself to be en- 
trapped into issuing such a hasty de- 
cree. 



6. Men always admire fidelity and 
piety to God in others, though disre- 
garding it themselves. 



7. This instrument of his deliv- 
erance. 



S. With the Persians, the whole 
kindred were involved in the guilt of 
one.

servant of the living God, is thy God, whom 
thou servest continually, able to deliver thee 
from the lions? 

21 Then said Dan'iel unto the king, king, 
live for ever. 

22 My God hath sent his 7 angel, and hath 
shut the lions' mouths, that they have not 
hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency 
was found in me; and also before thee, 
king, have I done no hurt. 

23 Then was the king exceeding glad for 
him, and commanded that they should take 
Dan'iel up out of the den. So Dan'iel was 
taken up out of the den, and no manner of 
hurt was found upon him, because he believed 
in his God. 

24 If And the king commanded, and they 
brought those men which had accused Dan'iel, 
and they cast them into the den of lions, them, 
''their children, s and their wives; and the lions 
had the mastery of them, and brake all their 
bones in pieces or ever they came at the bot- 
tom of the den. 

25 *~ Then king Da-ri'us wrote unto all peo- 
ple, nations, and languages, that dwell in all 
the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 

26 ! T make a decree, That in -every dominion 
of my kingdom men 'tremble and fear before 
the God of Dan'iel : for he is the living God, 
and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that 
which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion 
shall be even unto the end. 

27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he work- 
eth signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, 
who hath delivered Dan'iel from the power of 
the lions. 

28 So this Dan'iel prospered in the reign of 
Da-ri'us, and in the reign of A 'Cy'rus the Per'- 
sian. 

CHAPTER 7. 

1 Daniel's vision of four beasts. 9 Of God's 

kingdom. 

1 : In the first year of Bel-shaz'zar king of 
Baby-Ion Dan'iel had a dream and visions of 
his head upon his bed: then he wrote the 
dream, and told the sum of the matters. 

2 Dan'iel spake and said, I saw in my vision 
by night, and, behold, the four winds of the 
heaven strove upon the great sea. 

3 And four great beasts "came up from the 
sea, diverse one from -another. 

4 The first was 6 like a lion, and had eagle's 
wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were 
"plucked, and it was lifted up 3 from the earth, 
and made stand upon the feet as a man, and 
a man's heart 4 was given to it. 

5 And behold another beast, a second, like 
to a Taear, and it raised up itself on one side, 
and it had three ribs in the mouth of it be- 
tween the teeth of it: and they said thus untc 
it, Arise, devour much flesh. 



versatton honest among the Gentiles; that, whereas they speak against 
you as evil doers, they may by your good works, -which they shall 
behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. (I Pet. 2:12.) 

d. If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from 
him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the 
Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king 
Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that 
is better than she. (Esth. 1:19.) 

e. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I 
confess also before my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 10:32.) But 
as for me, I will come unto thy house in the multitude of thy mercy; 
and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. (Ps. 5:7.) Then 
I said, I am cast out of thy sight: yet I will look again toward thy holy 
temple. (Jon. 2:4.) 

f. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I - pray, and cry aloud: 
and he shall hear my voice. (Ps. 55:17.) Now Peter and John went up 
together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 
(Acts 3:1.) Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this 
is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (I Thess. 5:17, IS.) 

g. Fear thou not, for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am 
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold 
thee with the right hand of my. righteousness. (Is. 41:10.) Who deliv- 
ered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust 
that he will yet deliver us. (II Cor. 1:10.) 

h. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither 
shall the children be put to death tor the Fathers: every man shall be 
put to death for his own sin. (Dt. 2!:1G.) But the children of the mur- 



derers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book 
of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying. The fathers 
shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to 
death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own 
sin. (II Ks. 14:6.) 

i. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and lan- 
guage, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Me- 
shach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be 
made a dunghill; because there is no other God that can deliver after 
this sort. (Dan. 3:29.) 

j. The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between 
the cherubim; let the earth be moved. (Ps. 99:1.) 

k. Now- in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of 
the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred 
up the spirit of Cjtus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation 
throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying. iE.?ra 
1:1.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up 
out of the sea, having seven beads and ten horns, and upon his horn:; 
ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Rev. 13:1.) 

b. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the 
end of the earth, as swift as the eagle fiieth: a nation whose tongue 
thou shalt not understand. (Dt. £S:49.) Behold, he shall come up as 
clouds, and his chariot shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter 
than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. (Jer. 4:13.) Their horses 
also are swifter than the leopards, and are mere fierce than the evening

6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a 
'leopard, which had upon the back of it four 
wings of a fowl; the beast had also four 
heads; and dominion was given to it. 

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and 
behold a fourth T beast, dreadful and terrible, 
and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron 
teeth : it devoured and brake in pieces, and 
stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it 
was diverse from all the beasts that were be- 
fore it; f and it had ten horns. 

8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there 
d came up among them another 8 little horn, be- 
fore whom there were three of the first "horns 
plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this 
horn were eyes like the eyes 10 Sf man, and 
a mouth speaking great things. 

9 1^ I e beheld till the thrones were cast down, 
and the Ancient "of days did sit, whose gar- 
ment was white as snow, and the hair of his 
head like the pure wool : his throne was like 
the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 

10 A fiery stream issued and came forth 
from before him: f thousand thousands minis- 
tered unto him, and ten thousand times ten 
thousand stood before him: the judgment was 
set, and the books were opened. 

11 I beheld then because of the voice of the 
great words which the horn spake: #1 beheld 
even 12 till the beast was slain, and his body 
destroyed, and given to the burning flame. 

12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they 
had their dominion taken away: yet their lives 
were prolonged for a season and time. 

13 / saw in the night visions, and, behold, 
h one like the "Son of man came with the clouds 
of heaven, and came to f,he Ancient of days, 
and they brought him near before him. 

14 And l there was given him dominion, and 
glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, 
and languages, should serve him: his dominion 
is >an everlasting dominion, tvhich shall not 
pass away, and his kingdom that which shall 
not be destroyed. 

15 ^ I Dan'iel was grieved in my spirit in 
the midst of my body, and the visions of my 
head troubled me. 

16 I came near unto one of them that stood 
by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he 
told me, and made me know the interpretation 
of the things. 



6. Smaller than the lion, yet swift- 
er. Alexander, king of the small 
kingdom Maeedon, attacked Darius at 
the head of the vast empire, extend- 
ing from the Aegean Sea to the Indus 
and in twelve years subjugated much 
of Europe and Asia. 



7. Symbolizing the Syriac Egyp- 
tian kingdom. 



S. Little at first, but waxing

10. The eyes are expressive of in- 
telligence. In the fall of man in the 
garden, the serpent's promise was 
that man's eyes should be opened, 
therefore the anti-Christ would con- 
summate high intellectual culture in- 
dependent of God. 



11. The everlasting Father. 



12. Typifying the execution upon

the heavenly court of Jehovah. 



13. A son of man. (R. V.) 



14. The expression. "Time, times, 
and half-time" is supposed to refer 
to the three and a half years when 
anti-Christs interfered with the sac- 
rificial offering in the temple, al- 
though there are scholars who claim 
that it is a symbol of persecution, 
being as it is the fracture or part 
of the perfect seven. Therefore rep- 
resenting the fracturing or breaking 
of the natural order or normal condi- 
tions. 



17 These great beasts, which are four, are 
four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 

18 But the saints of the most High shall 
take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom 
for ever, even for ever and ever. 

19 Then I would know the truth of the 
fourth beast, which was diverse from all the 
others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were 
of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, 
brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with 
his feet; 

20 And of the ten horns that were in his 
head, and of the other which came up, and 
before whom three fell ; even of that horn that 
had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great 
things, whose look was more stout than his 
fellows. 

21 I beheld, and the same horn made war 
with the saints, and prevailed against them; 

22 Until the "Ancient of Mays came, 'and 
judgment was given to the saints of the most 
High; and the time came that the saints pos- 
sessed the kingdom. 

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be 
the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be 
diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour 
the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and 
break it in pieces. 

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom 
are ten kings that shall arise: and another 
shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse 
from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 

25 And he shall speak great words against 
the most High, and shall wear out the saints 
of the most High, and think to change times 
and laws: and they "'shall be given into his 
hand "until a time and "times and the dividing 
of time. 

26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall 
take away his dominion, to consume and to des- 
troy it unto the end. 

27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the 
greatness of the kingdom under the whole 
heaven, shall be given to the people of the 
saints of the most High, "whose kingdom is an 
everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall 
serve and obey him. 

28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for 
me Dan'iel, my cogitations much troubled me, 
and my countenance changed in me: Ifci I 
Pkept the matter in my heart. 



wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves and their horse- 
men shall come from far; they shall fiy as the eagle that hasteth to eat. 
(Hab. 1:8.) 

c. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up 
out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns 
ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Rev. 13:1.) 

d. And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed 
exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward 
the pleasant land. (Dan. 8:9.) . 

e. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the king- 
dom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and 
all authority and power. (I Cor. 15:24.) And I saw thrones, and they 
sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls 
of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word 
of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, 
neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; 
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Rev. 20:4.) 

f. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of 
angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. (Ps. 
68:17.) And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about 
the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was 
ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. (Rev. 
5:11.) 

g. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that 
wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had re- 
ceived the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. 
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 
(Rev. 19:20.) 

h. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: 
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the 
Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 
(Mat. 24:30.) And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the 
cloud one .sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden 
crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. (Rev. 14:14.) 

i. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until 
I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) Yet have I set my King 
upon my holy hill of Zion. (Ps. 2:6.) And Jesus came and spake unto 
them, saying. All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (Mat. 
28:18.) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the 
head over all things to the church. Which is his body, the fulness of 
him that filleth all in all. (Eph. 1:22, 23.) 

j. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion en- 



dureth throughout all generations. (Ps. 145:13.) And he shall reign 
over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no 
end. (Luke 1:33.) Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom which cannot 
be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably 
with reverence and godly fear. (Heb. 12:28.) 

k. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall 
consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the bright- 
ness of his coming. (II Thess. 2:8.) 

1. Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if 
the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest 
matters? (I Cor. 6:2.) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and 
judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were 
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which 
had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received 
his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and 
reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Rev. 20:4.) 

m. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and 
to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and 
tongues, and nations. (Rev. 13:7.) 

n. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that 
she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished 
for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 
(Rev. 12:14.) 

o. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up 
a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not 
be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these 
kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) He shall be great, 
and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give 
unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the 
house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 
1:32, 33.) The people answered him, We have heard out of the law 
that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man 
must be lifted up? who is this Sou of man? (Jno. 12:34.) But unto the 
Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of 
righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (Heb. 1:8.) For so an 
entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting 
kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (II Pet. 1:11.) And 
the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, say- 
ing, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, 
and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev. 11:15.)

CHAPTER 8. 
1 Daniel's vision of the ram and he goat. 13 
The two thousand three hundred days of 
sacrifice. 15 Gabriel comforteth Daniel. 

1 J In the third year of the reign of king 
Bel-shaz'zar a vision appeared unto me, even 
unto me Dan'iel, after that which appeared 
unto me at the first. 

2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to 
pass, when I saw, that I was at Shu'shan in 
the palace, which is in the province of E'lam; 
andl saw in a vision, and I was by the river 
of U'la-i. 

3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, 
behold, there stood before the river a ram 
which had two horns: and the two horns were 
high; but one was higher than the other, and 
the higher came up last. 

4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and 
northward, and southward; so that no beasts 
might stand before him, neither was there any 
that could deliver out of his hand; a but he did 
according to his will, and became great. 

5 And as I was considering, behold, an he 
2 goat came from the west on the face of the 
whole earth, and touched not the ground: and 
the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 

6 And he came to the ram that had 3 two 
horns, which I had seen standing before the 
river, and ran unto him in the fury of his 
power. 

7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, 
and he was moved with choler against him, 
and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: 
and there was no power in the ram to stand 
before him, but he cast him down to the 
ground, and stamped upon him: and there was 
none that could deliver the ram out of his 
hand. 

8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: 
and when he was strong, the great horn was 
broken; and for it came up four notable ones 
toward the four winds of heaven. 

9 And out of one of them came forth a little 
horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward 
B the south, and toward the east, and toward 
the "pleasant land. 

10 And it waxed great, even to the host of 
■hea/en; and 5 it cast down some of the host and 

of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon 
them. 

11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the 
prince of the host, and by him the daily sacri- 
fice was taken away, and the place of his sanc- 
tuary was cast down. 

12 And an host was given him against the 
daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and 
it cast down the truth to the ground; and it 
practised, and prospered. 

13 If Then I 'heard e one saint speaking, and 
another saint said unto that certain saint 
which spake, How long shall be the vision con- 
cerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgres-

sion of desolation, to give both the sanctuary 
and the host to be trodden under foot? 

14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand 
and three hundred days; then shall the sanc- 
tuary be cleansed. 

15 If And it came to pass, when I, even I 
Dan'iel, had seen the vision, and sought for 
the meaning, then, behold, there stood before 
me as the appearance of a man. 

16 And I heard a man's voice between the 
banks of U'la-I, which called, and ^said, 4 Ga - 
bri-el, make this man to understand the vision. 

17 So he came near where I stood: and when 
he came, I was afraid, and "fell upon my face: 
but he said unto me, Understand, son of 
man: for at the time of the end shall be the 
vision. 

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was 
in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground : 
but he touched me, and set me upright. 

19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee 
know what shall be in the last end of the in- 
dignation: for at the time appointed the end 
shall be. 

20 The ram which thou sawest having two 
horns are the kings of Me'di-a and Per'sja. 

21 And the rough goat is the king of Gre'- 
cia : and the great horn that is between his eyes 
is the first king. 

22 Now that being broken, whereas four 
stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up 
out of the nation, but not in his power. 

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, 
when the transgressors are come to the full, a 
king ''of fierce countenance, and understanding 
dark sentences, shall stand up. 

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not 
by his own power: 'and he shall destroy won- 
derfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and 
shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 

25 And through his policy also he shall 
cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he 
shall magnify himself in his heart, and by 
peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand 
up against the Prince of -princes; but he shall 
be 'broken without hand. 

26 And the vision of the evening and the 
morning which was told is true: ■'wherefore 
shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for 
many days. 

27 And I Dan'iel fainted, and was sick Cer- 
tain days; afterward I rose up, ^and did the 
king's business; and I was astonished at the 
vision, but none understood it.

not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. (Dan. 11:25.) 

c. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount 
Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. (Ps. 48:2.) 
In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth 
of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with 
milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands. (Ez. 20:6.) 

d. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did 
cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which 
was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was 
born. (Rev. 12:4.) 

e. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, hut unto 
us, they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by 

that have preached the Gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent 
down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. (I Pet. 
1:12.) 

f. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand 
in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show 
thee these glad tidings. (Luke 1:19.) 



g. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his 
right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the 
last. (Rev. 1:17.) 

h. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the 
end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue 
thou sha'.t not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall 
not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young. (Dt. 
28:49, 50.) 

i. In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled 
at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without 
hand. (Job 34:20.) For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter 
of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that 
was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. (Lam. 
4:6.) 

j. Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say. The vision 
that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the 
times that are far off. (Ez. 12:27.) And he saith unto me. Seal not the 
sayings of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. (Rev. 
22:10.) 

k. Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many 
great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, 
and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. Then 
Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, an* Abed- 
nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the 
gate of the king. (Dan. 2:48, 49.)

derstood by 2 books the number of the years, 
whereof the word of the Lord came to "Jer-e- 
mi'ah the prophet, that he would accomplish 
seventy years in the desolations of Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

3 ' And I set my face unto the Lord God, to 
seek by prayer and 'supplications, with fasting, 
and sackcloth, and ashes : 

4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and 
made my confession, and said, Lord, the 
great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant 
and mercy to them that love him, and to them 
that keep his commandments; 

5 We 6 have sinned, and have committed in- 
iquity, and have done wickedly, and have re- 
belled, even by departing from thy precepts 
and from thy judgments: 

6 Neither 'have we hearkened unto thy serv- 
ants the prophets, which spake in thy name 
to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and 
to all the people of the land. 

7 Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, 
but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; 
to the men of Ju'dah, and to the inhabitants of 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and unto all Is'ra-el, that are 
near, and that are far off, through all the coun- 
tries whither thou hast driven them, because 
of their trespass that they have trespassed 
against thee. 

8 Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, 
to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, 
because we have sinned against thee. 

9 ''To the Lord our God belong mercies and 
forgivenesses though we have rebelled against 
him; 

10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the 
Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set 
before us by his servants the prophets. 

11 Yea, all r ls'ra-el have transgressed thy 
law, even by departing, that they might not 
obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured 
upon us, and the oath that is written in the 
law of Mo'§e§ the servant of God, because we 
have sinned against him. 

12 And he hath f confirmed his words, which 
he spake against u£, and against our judges 
that judged us, by bringing upon us a great 
evil : for under the whole heaven hath not been 
done as hath been done upon Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13 As it is written in the law of Mo'§e§, all 
this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our 
prayer before the Lord our God, that we might 
turn from our iniquities, and understand thy 
truth. 

14 Therefore hath the Lord ^watched upon 
the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord

15 And now, Lord our God, that hast 
brought thy people forth out of the land of 
Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten 
thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, 
we have done wickedly. 

16 If O Lord, according to all thy "righteous- 
ness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy 
fury be turned away from thy city Je-ru'sa- 
lem, thy holy mountain: because for ; 'our sins, 
and for the iniquities of our fathers, Je-ru'- 
sa-lem and thy people are become a reproach 
to all that are about us. 

17 Now therefore, our God, hear the 
prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, 
and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanc- 
tuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. 

18 my God, incline thine ear, and hear; 
open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and 
the city which is called by thy name : for we do 
not present our supplications before thee for 
our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. 

19 O Lord, hear; Lord, forgive; Lord, 
hearken and do; defer not, 'for thine own sake, 
my God: for thy city and thy people are 
called by thy name. 

20 If And whiles I was speaking, and pray- 
ing, and confessing my sin and the sin of my 
people Is'ra-el, and presenting my supplication 
before the Lord my God for the holy mountain 
of my God; 

21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, 
even the man Ga'bri-el, whom I had seen in 
the vision at the beginning, being caused to 
fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the 
evening oblation. 

22 And he informed me, and talked with me, 
and said, Dan'iel, I am now come forth to 
give thee skill and understanding. 

23 At the beginning of thy supplications the 
commandment came forth, and I am come to 
shew thee ; for thou art greatly beloved : there- 
fore understand the matter, and consider the 
vision.

Chapter 9. 

a. To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until 
the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she 
kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. (II Chr. 36:21.) And 
this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these 
nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall 
come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish 
the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, 
and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 
(Jer. 25:11, 12.) For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be 
accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word 
toward you, in causing you to return to this place. (Jer. 29:10.) 

b. Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they 
were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in 
the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, 
and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness. (I Ks. 8:47.) 
We have sinned with bur fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have 
done wickedly. (Ps. 106:6.) Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and work- 
tth righteousness; those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou 
art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall 
be saved. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteous- 
nesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our in- 
iquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that 
calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: 
for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of 
our iniquities. (Is. 61:5-7.) 

c. And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messen- 
gers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on 
his people, and on his dwelling place: But they mocked the messengers 
of God, and despised bis words, and misused his prophets, until the 
wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy. 
(II Chr. 36:15, 16.) 

d. And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that 
thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their re- 
bellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a 



God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great 
kindness, and forsookest them not. (Neh. 9:17.) But there is forgive- 
ness with thee, that thou mayest be feared (4). Let Israel hope in the 
Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous re- 
demption. (Ps. 130:4, 7.) 

e. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more an! 
more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the 
sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but 
wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, 
neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. (Is. 1:5, 6.) There- 
fore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall 
inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is 
given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one 
dealeth falsely. (Jer. 8:10.) 

f. The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled 
his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown 
down, and- hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice 
over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. , (Lam. 2:17.) 
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one 
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat. 5:18.) 

g. And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, 
to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and 
to afflict; so will I watch over them to build, and to plant, saith the 
Lord. (Jer. 31:28.) 

h. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: 
all that honored her despise her, because they have seen her naked- 
ness; yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. (Lam. 1:8.) 

i. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; and 
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. (Ps. 79:9.) 

j. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We 
have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. (Jno. 
1:41.) 

k. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall de- 
clare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for 
the transgression of my people was he stricken. (Is. 53:8.) For I de-

threescore and 10 two weeks: the street shall 
be built again, and the wall, even in troublous 
times. 

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall 
Messiah be cut off, 'but not for himself: and 
the people of the prince that shall come '"shall 
destroy the city "and the sanctuary; and the 
end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the 
end of the war desolations are determined. 

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with 
many for one week: and in the midst of the 
week he shall cause the sacrifice and the obla- 
tion to cease, and for the overspreading of 
^abominations he shall make it desolate, even 
until the ^consummation, and that determined 
shall r ^be poured upon the desolate. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 Daniel having humbled himself seeth a vi- 
sion. 10 Being troubled with fear he is com- 
forted by the angel. 

1 In the third year of Cy'rus king of Per'sia 
a thing was revealed unto Dan'iel, whose name 
was called Bel-te-shaz'zar; and the thing Vas 
time, but the time appointed ^was long: and 
he understood the thing, and had understand- 
ing of the vision. 

2 In those days I Dan'iel was mourning 
s three full weeks. 

3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came 
flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I 
anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks 
were fulfilled. 

4 And in the four and twentieth day of the 
first month, as I was by the side of the great 
river, which is Hid'de-kel; 

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, 
and behold a certain man clothed in linen, 
whose loins were girded with fine gold of 
U'phaz: 

6 His body also was like the 4 beryl, and his 
a face as the appearance of lightning, and his 
eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his 
feet like in colour to polished brass, and the 
voice of his words like the voice of a multi- 
tude. 

7 And I Dan'iel alone saw the vision: for 
the men that were with me saw not the vision ; 
but a great quaking fell upon them, so that 
they fled to hide themselves. 

8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw 6 this 
great vision, and there remained no strength 
in me: for my comeliness was turned in me 
into corruption, and I retained no strength. 

9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and 
when I heard the voice of his words, then was 
I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face 
toward the ground. 

10 If And. behold, an hand touched me, which

set me upon my knees and upon the palms of 
my hands. 

11 And he said unto me, O Dan'iel, a man 
greatly beloved, understand the words that I 
speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto 
thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken 
this word unto me, I stood trembling. 

12 Then said he unto me, c Fear not, Dan- 
iel: for from the first day that thou didst set 
thine heart to understand, and to chasten thy- 
self before thy God, thy words were heard, and 
I am come for thy words. 

13 But the prince of the kingdom of Per'- 
sia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, 
^Mi'chael, one of the chief princes, came to 
help me; and I remained there with the kings 
of Per'sia. 

14 Now I am come to make thee under- 
stand what shall befall thy people in the latter 
days: for yet the vision is for many days. 

15 And when he had spoken such words 
unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and 
I became dumb. 

16 And, behold, one like the ^similitude of 
the sons of men touched f ray lips: then I 
opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto 
him that stood before me, O my lord, by the 
vision my sorrows are c turned upon me, and I 
have retained no strength. 

17 For T how can the servant of this my lord 
talk with this my lord? for as for me, straight- 
way there remained no strength in me, neither 
is there breath left in me. 

18 Then there came again and touched me 
one like the appearance of a man, and he 
strengthened me, 

19 And said, O man greatly beloved, ''fear 
not : peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be 
strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I 
was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; 
for thou hast strengthened me. 

20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I 
come unto thee? and now will I return to 
fight fwith the prince of Per'sia: and when I 
am gone forth, lo, the prince of Gre'cia shall 
come. 

21 But I will shew thee that which is noted 
in the scripture of truth : and there is none 
that holdeth with me in these things, but Tffi'- 
chael your prince. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 The overthrow of Persia by the king of 
Grecia. 30 The invasion and tyranny of 
the Romans. 

1 \Aiso I in the first year of Da-ri'us the 
Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strength- 
en him. 

2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Be- 



livered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ 
died for our sins according to the scriptures. (I Cor. 15:3.) 

1. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, 
that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but 
quickened by the Spirit. (I Pet. 3:1S.) 

m. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast 
a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on- every 
side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within 
thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because 
thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (Luke 19:43, 44.) 

n. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily 
I say unto you. There shall not be left here one stone upon another, 
that shall not be thrown down. (Mat. 24:2.) 

o. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken 
of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him 
understand.) Then let them which be in Jud.ea flee into the mountains. 
(Mat. 24:15, 16.) 

p. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a rem- 
nant of them shall return: the consumption decree shall overflow with 
righteousness. For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, 
even determined, in the midst of all the land. (Is. 10:22, 23.) 

q. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these 
commandments; And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul 
abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, hut 
that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even ap- 
point over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall 
consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your 
seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Lev. 2*5:14-16.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; 



and his eyes wers as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, 
as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many 
waters. (Rev. 1:14, 15.) 

b. And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his 
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart. And was 
transfigured before them; and his face, did shine as the sun, and his 
raiment was white as the light. (Mat. 17:1, 2.) 

c. And the angel said unto .them, Fear net; for, toehold, I bring you 
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. (Luke 2:10.) 
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: 
I will strengthen thee: yea, I will help thee; yea. I will uphold thee 
with the right hand of my righteousness. (Is. 41:10.) 

d. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he 
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing 
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 9.) And there was 
war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and 
the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their 
place found any more in heaven. (Rev. 12:7, S. ) 

e. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said. Lo, this hath touched 
thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. (Is. 
6:7.) Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And 
the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 
(Jer. 1:9.) 

f. Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp 
of the Assyrians an hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when 
they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 
(Is. 37:36.) And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because 
he gave not God the glory; and he was eaten of worms, and gave up 
the ghost. (Acts 12:23.)

hold, there shall stand up yet three kings in 
Per'sia;, and the fourth shall be far richer 
than they all: and by his strength through his 
riches he shall stir up all against the realm of 
Gre'cia. 

3 And a mrighty king shall stand up, that 
shall rule with great dominion, and a do accord- 
ing to his will. 

4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom 
shall be broken, and shall be divided toward 
the four winds of heaven; and not to his pos- 
terity, nor according to his dominion which 
he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked 
up, even for others beside those. 

5 If And the king of the south shall be 
strong, and one of his princes; and he shall 
be strong above him, and have dominion; his 
dominion shall be a great dominion. 

6 And in the end of years they shall join 
themselves together; for the Wring's daughter 
of the south shall come to the king of the 

I north to make an agreement: but she shall not 
retain the power of the arm; neither shall he 
stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, 
and they that brought her, and he that begat 
her, and he that strengthened her in these 
times. 

7 But out of a branch of her roots shall 
one stand up in his estate, which shall come 
with an army, and shall enter into the fortress 
of the king of the north, and shall deal against 
them, and shall prevail : 

8 And shall also carry captives into E'gypt 
their gods, with their princes, and with their 
precious vessels of silver and of gold; and 
he shall continue more years than the king of 
the north. 

9 So the king of the south shall come into 
his kingdom, and shall return into his own 
land. 

10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and 
shall assemble a multitude of great forces : and 
one shall certainly come, 6 and overflow, and 
pass through : then shall he return, and be 
stirred up, even to his fortress. 

11 And the king of the south shall be moved 
with choler, and shall come forth and fight 
with him, even with the king of the north : and 
he shall set forth a great multitude; but the 
multitude shall be given into his hand. 

12 And when he hath taken away the multi- 
tude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall 
cast down many ten thousands: but he shall 
not be strengthened by it. 

13 For the king of the north shall return, 
and shall set forth a multitude greater than 
the former, and shall certainly come after 
certain years with a great army and with much 
riches. 

14 And in those times there shall many 
stand up against the 4 king of the south: also 
the robbers of thy people shall exalt them- 
selves to establish the vision; but they shall 
fall.

shall there be any strength to withstand.

his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered 
by him to cease; without his own reproach he 
shall cause it to turn upon him. 

19 Then he shall turn his face toward the 
fort of his own land: but he shall stumble 
and fall, and ^not be found. 

20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser 
of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but 
within few days he shall be destroyed, neither 
in anger, nor in battle. 

21 And in his estate shall stand up a ^vile 
person, to whom they shall not give the honour 
of the kingdom: but he shall come in peace- 
ably, and obtain the ''kingdom by flatteries. 

22 And with the arms of a flood shall they 
be 'overflown from behind him, and shall 
be broken; yea, also the prince s of the cove- 
nant. 

23 And after the league made with him he 
shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, 
and shall become strong with a small people. 

24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the 
fattest places of the province; and he shall 
do that which his fathers have not done, nor 
his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among 
them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, 
and he shall forecast his devices against the 
strong holds, even for a time. 

25 And he shall stir up his power and his 
courage against the king of the south with a 
great army; and the king of the south shall be 
stirred up to battle with a very great and 
mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they 
shall forecast devices against him. 

26 Yea, they that ■'feed of the portion of 
his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall 
overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 

27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to 
do mischief, and they shall speak '■'lies at 
one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet 
the end shall be at the time appointed. 

28 Then shall he return into his land with 
great riches; and his heart shall be against 
the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, 
and return to his own land. 

29 At the time appointed he shall return, 



Chapter 11. 

a. I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; 
so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that 
could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and be- 
came great. (Dan. 8:4.) 

b. And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over; 
he shall reach even to the neck: and the stretching out of his wings shall 
fill the breadth of thy land, Immanuel. (Is. 8:8.) And after three- 
score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and 
the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the 
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end 
of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 9:26.) 

c. For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and 
cast them out against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is 
wholly oppression in the midst of her. (Jer. 6:6.) 

d. There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man 
is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: 
neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. (Ps. 33:16, 17.) 

e. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days 
of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee. (Josh. 1:5.) 

f. He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found; yea, he 
shall be chased away as a vision of the night. (Job 20:8.) Yet he passed 
away, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be 



found. (Ps. 37:36.) God shall likewise destroy thee for ever: he shall 
take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee 
out of the land of the living. Selah. (Ps. 52:5.) I will make thee a 
terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt 
thou never be found again, saith the Lord God. (Ez. 26:21.) 

g. And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed 
exceeding great, toward -the south, and toward the east, and toward the 
pleasant land (9). And through his policy also he shall cause craft to 
prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by 
peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of 
princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Dan. 8:9, 25.) 

h. And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the 
king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 
(II Sam. 15:6.) 

i. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and 
he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall 
destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he 
shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in 
his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up 
against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. 
(Dan. 8:24, 25.) 

j. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide; keep 
the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. (Mic. 7:5.) 

k. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering

and come toward the south; but it shall not be 
as the former, or as the latter. 

30 If For 'the ships of Chit'tim shall come 
against him: therefore he shall be grieved, 
and return, and have indignation against the 
holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even 
return, and have intelligence with them that 
'"■forsake the holy covenant. 

31 And arms shall stand on his part, and 
they shall '"pollute the sanctuary of strength, 
and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and 
they shall place the abomination that maketh 
desolate. 

32 And such as do wickedly against the cov- 
enant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the 
people that do "know their God shall be strong, 
and do exploits. 

33 And they that understand among the 
people shall instruct many: °yet they shall 
fall by the sword, and by flame, by cap- 
tivity and by spoil, many days. 

34 Now when they shall fall, they shallbe 
holpen with a little help: but many shall 
cleave to them with flatteries. 

35 And some of them of understanding shall 
fall, to try ^them, and to purge, and to make 
them white, even to the time of the end: be- 
cause it is yet for "a time appointed. 

36 And the king shall do according to his 
will; and he shall ^exalt himself, and magnify 
himself above every god, and shall speak mar- 
vellous things against the God of gods, and 
shall prosper till the indignation be accom- 
plished: for that that is determined shall be 
clone. 

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his 
fathers nor the desire of women, '"nor regard 
any god: for he shall magnify himself above 
all. 

38 But in his estate shall he honour the God 
of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew 
not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and 
with precious stones, and pleasant things. 

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds 
with a strange god, whom he shall acknowl- 
edge and increase with glory: and he shall 
cause them to rule over many, and shall divide 
the land for gain. 

40 And at the time of the end shall the king 
of the south push at him: and the king of the 
north shall come against him like a whirlwind, 
with chariots, and with horsemen, and, with 
many ships; and he shall enter into the coun- 
tries, and shall overflow and pass over. 

41 He shall enter also into the glorious 
land, and many countries shall be overthrown: 



9. That is, to favor the Jews who 
have forsaken God and joined the 
heathen. 



10. That is, God will not allow his 
people punished beyond a limit ap- 
pointed. 



11. Jerusalem and Mt. Zion. 



Ch. 12. B. C. 534. 



1. Ch. 12 contains a description 
of the vision and an epilogue to the 
book. 



2. That is, Jehovah has inscribed 
in a book the names of all the right- 
eous. (Rev. 13:S)— "And all that 
dwell upon the earth shall worship 
him, whose names are not written in 
the book of life of the Lamb slain 
from the foundation of the world." 
(Ex. 32:32)— "Yet now if thou wilt 
forgivs their sin, ami if not blot me. 
I pray thee, out of thy book, which 
thou hast written." 



3. The words of Daniel were not 
perfectly understood at that time, 
consequently they were to be sealed 
and kept in perfect security until the 
time when God would make all plain. 



4. Scrutinizing and searching the 
book, whose seals have been unloosed. 



5. "Time, times and half-time." 
or three and a half, is half of seven, 
the perfect or complete number,- thus 
indicating a semi-perfect state — pro- 
bationary. 



but these shall escape out of his hand, even 
E'dom, and^ Mo'ab, and the chief of the chil- 
dren of Am'mon. 

42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon 
the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not 
escape. 

43 But he shall have power over the treas- 
ures of gold and of silver, and over all the 
precious things of E'gypt : and the Lib'y-an§ 
and the E-thi-5'pi-ans shall be at his steps. 

44 But tidings out of the east and out of the 
north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go 
forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly 
to make away many. 

45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his 
palace between the s seas in the glorious holy 
"mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and 
none shall help him. 

CHAPTER 12. 

1 Michael shall deliver Israel from their trou- 
bles. 5 Daniel is informed of the times. 

1 *And at that time shall Mi'chael stand up, 
the great prince which standeth for the chil- 
dren of thy people: "and there shall be a time 
of trouble, siich as never was since there was a 
nation even to that same time: and at that 
time thy people ^shall be delivered, every one 
that shall be c found 'written in the book. 

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust 
of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting 
life, and some to shame and everlasting con- 
tempt. 

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the 
brightness of the firmament; and they that 
turn many to righteousness d as the stars for 
ever and ever. 

4 But thou, O Dan'iel, shut up the words, 
and seal 3 the book, even to the time of the end : 
many shall run 4 to and fro, and knowledge 
shall be increased. 

5 1f Then I Dan'iel looked, and, behold, there 
stood other two, the one on this side of the 
bank of the river, and the other on that side 
of the bank of the river. 

6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, 
which was upon the waters of the river, How 
long shall it be to the end of these wonders? 

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, 
which was upon the waters of the river, when 
he held up his right hand and his left hand 
unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for 
ever c that it shall be for a 5 time, times, and an 
half; and ''when he shall have accomplished to 
scatter the power of the holy people, all these 
things shall be finished. 



lips, and with a double heart, do they speak. (Ps. 12:2.) Surely men 
of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid 
in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. (Ps. 62:9.) 

1. Fulfilled B. C. 168. — And ships shall come from the coast of 
Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Bber, and he also shall 
perish for ever. (Num. 24:24.) For pass over the isles of Chittim, and 
see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be 
such a thing. (Jer. 2:10.) 

m. As for the beauty of bis ornament, he set it in majesty; but 
they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things 
therein: therefore have I set it far from them. And I will give it into 
the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for 
a spoil; and they shall pollute it. (Ez. 7:20, 21.) Yea, he magnified him- 
self even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was 
taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. (Dan. 
8:11.) 

n. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and 
serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind; for the Lord 
searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the 
thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou for- 
sake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) 

o. Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, ob- 
tained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of 
fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out cf weakness were made strong, 
waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens (33, 34). 
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover 
of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, 
were tempted, were slain with the sword.: they wandered about in sheep- 
skins and goat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented. (Heb. 11:33, 
34, :;<;. 37.) 

p. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is 
tried, h<- shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath prom- 
''l to ih' in that love him. (Js. 1:12.) That the trial of your faith, 
being much more precious than of gold that perisheth. though it be 
tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the 
appearing of Jesus Christ. (I Pot. 1:7.) 



q. Who opposeth and exalteth h'mself above all that is called God, 
or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, 
showing himself that he is God. (II Thess. 2:4.) And there was given 
unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power 
was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (Rev. 13:5.) 

r. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I 
will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the 
mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. (Is. 14:13.) 

s. But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will 
drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the 
east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall 
come up, and his ill savor shall come up, because he hath done great 
things. (Joel 2:20.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Foi then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the 
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Mat. 24:21.) 

b. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall 
come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from 
Jacob. (Rom. 11:26.) 

c. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin — ; and if not, blot me, I 
pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. (Ex. 32:32.) Not- • 
withstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; 
but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Luke 
10:20.) 

d. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, 
and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star 
in glory. (I Cor. 15:41.) 

e. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, thai: 
she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nour- 
ished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the ser- 
pent. (Rev. 12:14.) 

f. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led 
away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of 
the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke -21:24.) 



Ch. 12 



DANIEL 



B. C. 534 



745 



8 And I heard, but I "understood not: then 
said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of 
these things? 

9 And he said, Go thy way, Dan'iel: for the 
words are closed up and sealed till the time of 
the end. 

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, 
and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: 
and none of the wicked shall understand; but 
the wise shall understand. 



6. While Daniel understood the 
leading features of the vision, yet he 
did not understand as to the times. 



7. In the grave. 



S. Implying justification unto life. 



11 And from the time that the daily sacri- 
fice shall be taken away, and the abomination 
that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a 
thousand two hundred and ninety days. 

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to 
the thousand three hundred and five and thirty 
days. 

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for 
thou #shalt 'rest, and s stand in thy ''lot at the 
end of the days. 



g. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each 
one walking in his uprightness. (Is. 57:2.) And I heard a voice from 
heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the 
Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from 
their labors; and their works do follow them. (Rev. 14:13.) 

h. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he 



meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the 
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also 
shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly 
are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. There- 
fore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the con- 
gregation of the righteous. .For the Lord know^eth the way of the right- 
eous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. (Ps. 1:2-6.) 



HOSEA 



NOTE. — The first of the 12 minor prophets. Not the first because it was thought to have been written first, as Joel and Amos were both written prior to 
Hosea. but placed first because it is the longest. Called one of the minor prophets, not because it is considered more doubtful in point of inspired authority, but 
simply in point of size. All 12 of the books of the minor prophets do not fill as many pages as Ezekiel. Hosea wrote during the time of Jeroboam, and has been 
called the prophet of the decline and fall of Israel. 

The book we have is by no means considered as embracing all the teachings of Hosea. but simply that portion which, in the providence of God, should 
be preserved for future generations. The author is especially characterized for his vivid earnestness and unalloyed patriotism. His style is abrupt and un- 
rounded. The first and third chs. are in prose — the remaining portion is rhythmical. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Hosea, to shew God's judgment for spiritual 
whoredom, taketh Gomer, 4 and hath by her 
Jezreel, 6 Lo-ruhamah, 8 and Loammi. 10 
The restoration of Judah and Israel. 

1 The "word °of the Lord that came unto 
Ho-se'a, the son of Be-e'ri, in the days of Uz- 
zi'ah, Jo'tham, A'haz, and Hez-e-kl'ah, kings 
of Ju'dah, and in the days of Jer-o-bo'am the 
son of Jo'ash, king of is'ra-el. 

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by 
Ho-se'a. And the Lord said to Ho-se'a, Go, 
take unto thee a wife of Whoredoms and chil- 
dren of whoredoms: for the land hath com- 
mitted great whoredom, departing from the 
Lord. 

3 So he went and took Go'mer the daughter 
of Dib'la-im; which conceived, and bare him 
a son. 

4 And the Lord said unto him, Call his name 
Jez're-el; for yet a little while, and I will 
avenge the blood of Jez're-el upon the house 
of Je'hu, 6 and will cause to cease the kingdom 
of the house of Is'ra-el. 

5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that 
I will break the bow of Is'ra-el in the valley 
of Jez're-el. 

6 r And she conceived again, and bare a 
daughter. And God said unto him, Call her 
name 3 Lo-ru'ha-mah : for I will no more have 
mercy upon the house of Is'ra-el; but I will 
utterly 4 take them away. 

7 But I will have "mercy upon the house of 
Ju'dah, and will save them by the Lord their 
God, and will not save them by s bow, nor by 
sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horse- 
men. 

8 r Now when she had weaned Lo-ru'ha-mah, 
she conceived, and bare a son. 

9 Then said God, Call his name s Lo-am'mi : 
for ye are not my people, and I will not be 
your God. 

10 r Yet c the number of the children of Is'- 
ra-el shall be' as the sand of the sea, which 
cannot be measured °nor numbered; and it 
shall come to pass, that in the place where it 
was said unto them, Ye are not my people, 
there it shall be said unto them, Ye are d the 
sons of the living God. 

11 Then shall the children of Ju'dah and 
the children' of Is'ra-el be gathered together. 
and appoint themselves one head, and they 
shall come up out of the land: for great shall 
be the day of Jez're-el. 



Ch. 1. B. C. 785. 

1. In ch. 1 the spiritual whore- 
dom of Israel is symbolically set 
forth. It should be remembered that 
this is the siu which largely brought 
upon Israel her many punishments. 

2. A symbolical vision or picture 
of Israel's unfaithfulness to Jeho- 
vah, who had married the nation at 
Sinai. (Ez. 16:8. 15) — "Now when I 
passed by thee and looked upon thee, 
behold thy time was the time of love, 
and I spread my skirt over thee and 
covered thy nakedness: Tea I swore 
unto thee and entered into a cove- 
nant with thee, saith the Lord God, 
and thou becamest mine" (8). ""But 
thou didst trust in thine own beauty 
and playedst the harlot because of 
thy renown, and pouredst out thy 
fornication on every one that passed 
by" (15). 

3. Meaning uncompassionated. 

4. Israel was never restored from 
Assyria as Judah was from Babylon. 

5. Mentioned in contrast with Is- 
rael. Their accusations were more 
on the order of inconstancy than ab- 
solute rebellion. 

6. That is. their warlike strength 
upon which Israel was relying. For 
this Jehovah would not save them. 

7. The third child. 

S. Meaning, not my people. 

9. Partially fulfilled in the return 
from Babylon, but to be fulfilled in 
its fullness, hereafter in Israel's res- 
loration. (Rom. 11:26) — "And so ail 
Israel shall be saved, as it is written. 
There shall come out of Sion the De- 
liverer and shall turn away ungodli- 
ness from Jacob." 

Ch. 2. B. C, 785. 

1. In this ch. is made the applica- 
tion of the symbols in ch. 1. 

2. Expostulate. 

3. An allegory, the meaning of 
which is that north Israel shall be put 
to open shame and deprived of the 
blessings promised them. 

4. The day when delivered from 
the bondage of Egypt. 

5. That is. Israel was unfaithful 
to Jehovah and took up Baalim, idol 
worship. 

6. That is. hindrances, as her cap- 
tivity, to separate her from her idols. 

7. Crosses in an evil course are 
sometimes Jehovah's hedges or walls 
to turn us back. 

S. ?>he did not know it was Je- 
hovah and not the idols or "lovers" 
alluded to. 

9. That is. strip her of her neces- 
saries by removing the blessings of 
God. and leave her in open shame to 
the mercy of the powerless idols. 

10. The wages of a harlot. 

11. Idols. 

12. Nevertheless. 



CHAPTER 2. 
1 Idolatry of the people. 6 God's judgments 
o.gainst them. 14 His promises of recon- 
ciliation with them. 

1 'Say ye unto your brethren, Am'ml; and 
to your sisters, Ru'ha-mah. 

2 Plead "with your mother, plead: for she is 
not my wife, neither am I her husband: let 
her therefore put away her "whoredoms out of 
her sight, and her adulteries from between her 
breasts ; 

3 Lest h l 3 strip her naked, and set her as in 
the day that she 4 w.as born, and make her as 
a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and 
slay her with c thirst. 

4 And I will not have mercy upon her chil- 
dren; for they be the children of whoredoms. 

. 5 For their mother hath played the harlot: 
she that conceived them hath done shamefully: 
for she said, I will go D after my lovers, ri that 
give me my bread and my water, my wool and 
my flax, mine oil and my drink. 

6 U Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy 
way with thorns, and "make a wall, that she 
shall not find her paths. 

7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but 
she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek 
them, but shall not find them: then shall she 
say, I will go and return to my c first husband; 
for then was it better with me than now. 

8 For she did not 5 know that I gave her corn, 
and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and 
gold, which they prepared for Ba'al. 

9 Therefore will I return, and take away 
my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in 
the season thereof, and will recover my wool 
and my flax given to cover her nakedness. 

10 And now will I discover her lewdness in 
the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver 
her out of mine hand. 

11 ^1 will also cause all her mirth to cease, 
her feast days, her new moons, and her sab- 
baths, and all her solemn feasts. 

12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig 
trees, whereof she hath said, These are my 
' rewards that my "lovers have given me : and 
#1 will make them a forest, and the beasts of 
the field shall eat them. 

13 And I will visit upon her the days of Ba'- 
al-im, wherein she burned incense to them, 
and she decked herself with her earrings and 
her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and 
forgat me, saith the Lord. 

14 If Therefore, 12 behold, I will allure her, 



Ref. Hosea. Chapter 1. 

a. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; hut 
holv men of God spake as they were moved by the Holv Ghost. (II 
Pet. 1:21.) 

b. And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote 
him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead (10). This 
was the word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy son 
shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it 
came to pass. (II Ks. 15:10, 12.) 

c. As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were 
not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall 
come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not 
my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. 
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children 
of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. (Rom. 
9:25-27.1 

d. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become 
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (Jno. 1:12.) Be- 
hold what manner of love the Father "hath bestowed upon us, that we 
should be called the pons of God! therefore the world knoweth us not, 
because it knew him not. (I Jno. 3:1.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and 
hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every 
one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.. (Ez. 1G:25.) 



b. And if thou say in thine heart. Wherefore come these things 
upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, 
and thy heels made bare. (Jer. 13:22.) 

c. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a 
famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of 
hearing tte words of the Lord. (Amos 8:11.) 

d. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth .out of 
our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour 
out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our 
kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of 
Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw 
no evil. (Jer. 44:17.) 

e. Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy 
time was the time of love: and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered 
thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with 
thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine. (Ez. 16:8.) 

f. The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry- 
hearted do sigh. (Is. 24:7.)' And I will turn your feasts into mourning, 
and all your songs into lamentations; and I will bring up sackcloth upon 
all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the 
mourning of an onlv son. and the end thereof as a bitter day. (Amos 
8:10.) 

g. And now go to: I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I 
will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break 
down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down. (Is. 5:5.)

and bring her into the wilderness, and speak

15 And I will give her her vineyards from 
i; thence, and ''the valley of Achor for a door of 
hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days 
of her youth, and as in the day when she came 
up out of the land of E'gypt. 

16 And it shall be at that day, saith the 
Lord, that thou shalt call me Ish'i; and shalt 
call me no more 'Ba'al-I. 

17 For I will take away the names of Ba'- 
al-im out of her mouth, and they shall no more 
be remembered by their name. 

18 And in that day ivill I make a i covenant 
for them ivith the beasts of thg field, and with 
the foivls of heaven, and with the creeping 
things of the ground: and k I will break the 
boiv and the sword and the battle out of tfa

19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; 
yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteous- 
ness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness,

20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faith- 
fulness: and 'thou shalt know the Lord.

ess, according to the love of the Lord toward

silver, and for an homer of barley, and an

CHAPTER 4. 
1 God's judgments against the sins of the peo- 
ple, 6 and of the 2iriests, 12 and against 
their idolatry. 

1 'Hear the word of the Lord, ye children 
of 2 is'ra-el: for the Lord hath a "controversy 
with the inhabitants of the land, because there 
is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God 
in the land. 

2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and 
stealing, and committing adultery, they break 
out, and blood 3 toucheth blood. 

3 Therefore 6 shall the land mourn, and 
c every one that dwelleth therein shall lan- 
guish, with the beasts of the field, and with 
the fowls of heaven; ye#, the fishes of the sea 
also shall be taken away. 

4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove an- 
other: for 'thy people are as they *that strive 
with the priest. 

5 Therefore shalt thou fall e in the day, and 
the prophet also shall fall with thee in the 
night, and I will destroy thy mother. 

6 1 My people are destroyed for lack of 
knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowl- 
edge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be 
no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the 
law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 

7 As they were increased, so they sinned 
against me: therefore will I change their 
glory into shame. 

8 They eat up 5 the sin of my people, and 
they set their heart on their iniquity. 

9 And there shall be, c like people, like priest: 
and I will punish them for their ways, and 
reward them for their doings. 

10 For fthey shall eat, and not have enough: 
they shall commit whoredom, and shall not in- 
crease: because they have left off to take heed 
to the Lord. 

11 Whoredom and wine and new wine ^take 
away the heart. 

12 If My people ask counsel at their stocks, 
and their staff declareth unto them: for the 
spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, 



h. And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. 
So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the 
name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day. (Josh. 
7:26.) And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a 
place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 
(Is. 65:10.) 

i. For thy Maker is thine husband; The Liord of hosts is his name; 
and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth 
shall he be called. (Is. 54:5.) 

j. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; and the 
beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. (Job 5:23.) The wolf 
also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the 
kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a lit- 
tle child shall lead them. (Is. 11:6.) 

k. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many 
people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their 
spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, 
neither shall they learn war any more. (Is. 2:4.) 

1. And all thy children sha'l be taught of the Lord; and great shall 
be the peace of thy children. (Is. 54:13.) And this is life eternal, that 
they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou 
hast sent. (Jno. 17:3.) 

m. For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, 
and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their 
dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these 
things. (Zech. 8:12.) 

n. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said 
unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the chil- 
dren of the living God. (Rom. 9:26.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and 
shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full 
month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, 
and she shall be thy wife. (Dt. 21:13.) 

b. In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of 
the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. (Is. 
19:19.) 



c. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy 
name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them 
that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and said 
unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is 
with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found 
of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) I 
sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 
(Ps. 34:4.) 

d. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of 
the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, 
and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 
(Mic. 4:1.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong 
foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his peo- 
ple, and he will plead with Israel. (Mic. 6:2.) 

b. Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that 
dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a ilood; and it shall be 
cast -out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. (Amos 8:8.) 

c. I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the 
heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the 
wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord. (Zeph. 
1:3.) 

d. And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken 
unto the priest, that standeth to minister there -before the Lord thy God, 
or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away 
the evil from Israel. (Dt. 17:12.) 

e. Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. 
Woe unto us! for the day goeth. away, for the shadows of the evening 
are stretched out. (Jer. 6:4.) 

f. Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall 
be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; 
and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword. (Mic. 6:14.) 

g. But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink 
are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong

and they have gone a whoring from under their 
God. 

13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the moun- 
tains, and burn incense upon the hills, under 
oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow 
thereof is good: ''therefore your daughters 
shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall 
commit adultery. 

14 I will not punish your daughters when 
they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when 
they commit adultery: for themselves are sep- 
arated with whores, and they sacrifice with 
harlots: therefore the people that doth not 
understand shall fall. . 

15 r Though thou, Is'ra-el, play the harlot, 
j^et let not Ju'dah offend; and come not ye unto 
Gil'gak- neither go ye up to ; Beth-a'ven, nor 
■' swear, The Lord liveth. 

16 For Is'ra-el slideth back as a backsliding 
heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb 
in a large place. 

17 E'phra-im is joined to idols: let ^him 
alone. 

18 Their drink is sour: they have com- 
mitted whoredom continually: her rulers with 
shame do love, Give ye. 

19 The wind hath bound her up in her 
wings, and they shall 'be ashamed because 
of their sacrifices. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 God's judgments against the priests, the peo- 
ple, and the princes of Israel, for their 
manifold sins, 15 until they repent. 

1 ""Hear ye this, priests; and hearken, ye 
house of Is'ra-el; and give ye ear, O house 
of the ^ing; for judgment is s toward you, be- 
cause ye have been a snare on Miz'pah, and a 
net spread upon Ta'bor.

them all. 

3 I "know T E'phra-im, and Is'ra-el is not hid 
from me: for now, E'phra-im, thou commit- 
test whoredom, and Is'ra-el is denied. 

4 They will not frame their doings to turn 
unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is 
in the midst of them, and they have not known 
the Lord. 

5 And the pride of Is'ra-el doth testify to his 
face: therefore shall is'ra-el and E'phra-im 
fall in their iniquity; Ju'dah also shall fall 
with them. 

6 They shall go with their flocks and with 
their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall 
not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from

1. In ch. 5 the prophet discourses 
on the judgments Jehovah shall send 
upon the priests, princes and people 
of Israel. 



3. That is. the judgments of ret- 
ributions of Jehovah threaten you. 



4. Apostates. 



5. Deeply rooted; excessive 
their idolatrous practices. 



6. It should be observed here that 
the prophet does not say "make sac- 
rifices," instead he uses the word 
"slaughter.'' as their so-called sac- 
rifices are only butcheries. They were 
offered to idols and not to the true 
and living God.

1. Vs. 1-3 are closely connected

pentance. They exclaim. "Let us re- 
turn to God that he may return to

turned unto his place.

blessings as they had of old.

rael's fall and misery.

rebuke: among the tribes of Is'ra-el have I 
made known that which shall surely be. 

10 The princes of Ju'dah were like them

out my wrath upon them like water. 

11 E'phra-im is oppressed and broken in 
judgment, because he willingly walked after 
'the commandment. 

12 Therefore will I be unto E'phra-im as a 
moth, and to the house of Ju'dah as rotten- 
ness. 

13 When E'phra-im saw his sickness, and 
Ju'dah saw his wound, then went E'phra-im to 
the As-syr'i-an, and sent to king Ja'reb: yet 
could he not heal you, nor cure you of your 
wound. 

14 For I will be unto E'phra-im as a lion, 
and as a young lion to the house of Ju'dah: I, 
even I, will tear and go away; I will take 
away, and none shall rescue him.

they acknowledge their offence, and seek my 
face: in their affliction they will seek me 
d early. 

CHAPTER 6. 
An exhortation to repentance. 

1 Come, *and let us return unto the Lord: 
for he hath torn, and °he will heal us; he 
hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 

2 After two days will he revive us: in the 
third day he will raise us up, and we shall live 
2 in his sight. 

3 Then l shall we know, 3 if we follow on to 
know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as 
the morning ; and he shall come unto us as the 
rain, as the latter and former rain unto the 
earth.

Ju'dah, what shall I do unto thee? for your 
4 goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the 
early dew it goeth away.

prophets; I have slain them by *the words of 
my mouth : and thy judgments are as the light 
that goeth forth.

from it. (Hos. 10:5.) 

j. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy God, 
Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, 
and never rise up again. (Amos 8:14.) I will also stretch out mine 
hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will 
cut off the remnant o'f Baal from this place, and the name of the Chem- 
arims with the priests; And them that worship the host of heaven upon 
-tops; and them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and 
that swear by Malcham. (Zeph. 1:4, 5.)

said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The 
Lord is with 3 T ou, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him. he will be

Chapter 6. 

a. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy 
wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, 
This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. (Jer. 30:17.) 

b. The Proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To 
know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding

d. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than 
any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and 
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts 
and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12.)

not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. (Mat. 12:7.)

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, 
so the company of priests murder in the way 
by consent: for they commit lewdness.

Is'ra-el is denied. 

11 Also, Ju'dah, he hath set an harvest 
for thee, ^when I returned the 7 captivity of my 
people. 

CHAPTER 7. 

1 A reproof of manifold sins. 11 God's wrath 

against them. 

1 When l I would have healed 2 ls'ra-el, then 
the iniquity of E'phra-im was discovered, and 
the wickedness of Sa-ma'ri-a: for they com- 
mit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the 
troop of robbers spoileth without. 

2 And they consider not in their hearts that 
I remember all their wickedness : now their 
c own doings have 3 beset them about; they are 
''before my face. 

3 They make the king glad with their wick- 
edness, and the princes with c their lies. 

4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated 
by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after 
he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leav- 
ened. 

5 In the day of our king the princes have 
made him sick with bottles of wine; he 
stretched out his hand with scorners. 

6 For they have made ready their heart like 
an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker 
sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burn- 
etii as a flaming fire. 

7 They are all hot as an oven, and have de- 
voured their judges; all their kings d are fallen: 
e there is none among them that calleth unto 
me. 

8 E'phra-im, he Hiath mixed himself among 
the people; E'phra-im is a cake 4 not turned. 

9 : 'Strangers have devoured his strength, and 
he knoweth it not: yea, 6 gray hairs are here 
and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. 

10 And the pride'of is'ra-el testifieth to his 
face: and they do not return to the Lord their 
God, nor seek him for all this. 

11 If E'phra-im also is Jike a 7 silly dove with- 
out heart: they call to E'gypt, they go to As- 
syr'i-a. 

12 When they shall go, I will spread my 
net upon them; I will bring them down as the 
fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, ^as 
their congregation hath heard.

deemed them, yet they have spoken lies against 
me. 

14 And they have ''not cried unto me with 
their heart, when they howled upon their beds : 
they assemble themselves for corn and wine, 
and they rebel against me. 

15 Though I have bound and strengthened 
their arms, yet do they imagine mischief 
against me. 

16 They return, but not to the most High : 
they are like a deceitful bow: their princes 
shall fall by the sword for the rage of their 
tongue: this shall be their derision in the land 
of E'gypt. 

CHAPTER 8. 

Destruction threatened for impiety, and idol- 
atry. 

1 J Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall 
come °as an eagle against the house of the 
Lord, because they have transgressed my cove- 
nant, and trespassed against my law. 

2 Is'ra-el 6 shall "cry unto me, My God, we 
know thee. 

3 Is'ra-el hath cast off the thing that is 
the enemy shall pursue him. 

4 They have set up kings, but not by me: 
they have made princes, and I knew it not: of 
their silver and their gold have they made 
them idols, that they may be cut off. 

5 If Thy calf, O Sa-ma'ri-a, hath cast thee 
off; mine anger is kindled against them: c how 
long will it be ere they attain to innocency? 

6 For from Is'ra-el was it also: the work- 
man made it; therefore it is not God: but the 
calf of Sa-ma'ri-a shall be broken in pieces. 

7 For they have sown the wind, and they 
shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the 
bud shall yield no meal : 'if so be it yield, the 
strangers shall swallow it up. 

8 3 is'ra-el is swallowed up: now shall they 
be among the Gen'tile§ as a vessel wherein is 
no pleasure. 

9 For d they are gone up to As-syr'i-a, a wild 
4 ass alone by himself: E'phra-im hath hired 
lovers. 

10 Yea, though they have hired among the 
nations, now will I gather them, and they shall 
sorrow a little for the burden of e the king of 
princes. 

11 Because °E'phra-im hath made many al- 
tars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. 

12 I have written to him ''the great things 
of my law, but they were counted as a strange 
thing. 

13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of 
mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord ac- 
cepteth them not; now will he remember their 



g. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like 
them that dream. (Ps. 126:1.) 
Chapter 7. 

a. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be 
holden with the cords of his sins. (Prov. 5:22.) 

b. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the 
light of thy countenance. (Ps. 90:8.) 

c. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such 
things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in 
them that do them. (Rom. 1:32.) 

d. And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote 
him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead (10). For 
Jlenahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, 
and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and 
reigned in his stead (14). But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain 
of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace 
of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of 
the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room (25). And 
Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of 
Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the 
twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. (II Ks. 15:10, 14, 25, 30.) 

e. For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither 
do they seek the Lord of hosts. (Is. 9:13.) And there is none that calleth 
upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou 
hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our in- 
iquities. (Is. 64:7.) 

■f. They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord com- 
manded them: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their 
works. (Ps. 104:34, 35.) 

g. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these 
commandments; And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul 



abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but 
that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even 
appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall 
consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your 
seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Lev. 26:14-16.) 

h. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near 
me with their mouih, and with their lips do honor me, but have re- 
moved their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by 
the precept of men. (Is. 29:13.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as 
a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we 
are spoiled. (Jer. 4:13.) 

b. When he slew them, then they sought him; and they returned 
and enquired early after God. (Ps. 78:34.) Not every one that saith 
unto me. Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he 
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 7:21.) 

c. I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of 
thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe 
unto thee, O Jerusalem! Wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it 
once be? (Jer. 13:27.) 

d. And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Mena- 
hem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with 
him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. (II Ks. 15:19.) 

e. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with 
horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much 
people. (Ez. 26:7.) 

f. Keep therefore and do them: for this is your wisdom and your 
understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these 
statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding 
people. (Dt. 4:6.)

turn to E'gypt. 

14 For °ls'ra-el hath forgotten his Maker, 
and ^buildeth temples; and Ju'dah hath multi- 
plied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon 
his cities, and it shall devour the palaces 
thereof. 

CHAPTER 9. 

The distress and captivity of Israel for their 

sins and idolatry. 

1 Rejoice not, O Is'ra-el, for joy, as other 
people: for thou hast gone a whoring from 
thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every 
cornfloor. 

2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed 
them, and the new wine shall fail in her. 

3 They shall not dwell in "the Lord's land; 
but E'phra-im shall return to E'gypt, and 
6 they shall eat unclean things in As-syr'i-a. 

4 They shall not offer ^wine offerings to the 
Lord, neither shall they be pleasing = unto him: 
their sacrifices shall be unto them as the e bread 
of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be pol- 
luted: for their bread for their soul shall not 
come into the house of the Lord. 

5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and 
in the day of the feast of the Lord? 

6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruc- 
tion : E'gypt shall gather, them up, 'Mem'phis 
shall bury them: the pleasant places for their 
silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall 
be in their tabernacles. 

7 The days of visitation are come, the days 
of recompence are come; Is'ra-el shall know it: 
the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, 
for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the 
great hatred. 

8 The watchman of E'phra-im was with my 
God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in 
all his ways, and hatred in the house of his 
God. 

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as 
in the days of d Gib'e-ah: therefore he will re- 
member their iniquity, he will visit their sins. 

10 '"I found Is'ra-el e like grapes in the wil- 
derness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in 
the fig tree at her first time : but they went to 
Ba'al-pe'or, and separated themselves unto that 
shame; and their abominations were according 
as they loved. _ 

11 As for E'phra-im, their glory shall fly 
away like a bird, from the birth, and from the 
womb, and from the conception. 

12 Though they bring up their children, yet 
will I bereave them, that there shall not be a 
man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart 
from them! 

13 E'phra-im, as I saw Ty'rus, is planted in 
a pleasant place: but E'phra-im shall bring 
forth his children to the murderer. 

14 Give ''them, Lord: what wilt thou give? 
give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 



6. Another and later reason (i. e., 
worldliness and self-dependence) for 
the "swallowing up" in v. S. 



Ch. 9. B. C. 760. 



1. The prophet now forcibly pre- 
sents to the people their early history, 
showing them that they have always 
met the mercy of Jehovah with re- 
bellion, hence there is no course left 
open for him but to cast off, which 
he does, Into captivity.

shall not be pleasing to Jehovah, be- 
cause it was always offered in con- 
nection with their idolatrous sacri 
flees.

clares the continued infidelity of the

punishment. 



6. That is. the divine hatred for

2. Not unto Jehovah. 



3. The divine judgment shall be as

4. A fig. denoting short life and 
speedy dissolution. 



5. In vs. 9-15 is recorded another 
demonstration of Israel's guilt. 



6. Israel is here compared to a 
heifer treading the threshing-floor, 
which could freely eat as it trudged 
around in its course, but it became re- 
bellious and its master was compelled 
to send it to the heavier and more 
laborious task of the field. 



15 All their wickedness is in Gil'gal: for 
there I c hated them: for the wickedness of 
their doings I will drive them out of mine 
house, I will love them no more: all their 
princes are revolters. 

16 E'phra-im is smitten, their root is dried 
up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they 
bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved 
fruit of their womb. 

17 My God #will cast them away, because 
they did not hearken unto him: and they shall 
be wanderers among the nations. 

CHAPTER 10. 
Israel is reproved and threatened for their im- 
piety and idolatry. 

1 Is'ra-el *is an empty vine, he bringeth 
forth fruit unto "himself: according to the 
multitude of his fruit he hath increased the 
altars; according to the goodness of his land 
they have made goodly images. 

2 "Their heart is divided; now shall they be 
found faulty: he shall break down their altars, 
he shall spoil their images. 

3 For now they shall say, We have no 
king, because we feared not the Lord; what 
then should a king do to us? 

4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely 
in making a covenant: thus judgment spring- 
eth up as 3 hemlock in the furrows of the field. 

5 The inhabitants of Sa-ma'ri-a shall fear 
because of the 6 calves of Beth-a'ven: for the 
people thereof shall mourn over it, and the 
priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the 
glory thereof, because it is departed from it. 

6 It shall be also carried unto As-syr'i-a for 
a present to c king Ja'reb: E'phra-im shall re- 
ceive shame, and Is'ra-el shall be ashamed of 
his own counsel. 

7 As for Sa-ma'ri-a, her king is cut off as 
the 4 foam upon the water. 

8 The high places also of A'ven, the d sin of 
is'ra-el, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the 
thistle shall come up on their altars; and they 
shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to 
the hills, Fall on us. 

9 _ s O Is'ra-el, thou hast sinned from the days 
of Gib'e-ah: there they stood: the battle in 
Gib'e-ah against the children of iniquity did 
not overtake them. 

10 It is in e my desire that I should chastise 
them; and the people shall be gathered against 
them, when they shall bind themselves in their 
two furrows. 

11 And E'phra-im is as an e heifer that is 
taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but 
I passed over upon her fair neck : I will make 
E'phra-im to ride; Ju'dah shall plow, and Ja'- 
cob shall break his clods. 

12 Sow to ''yourselves in righteousness, reap 
in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it 
is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain 
righteousness upon you. 



g. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the 
lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. (I Ks. 12:31.) 
Chapter 9. 

a. The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye 
are strangers and sojourners with me. (Lev. 25:23.) 

b. And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat 
their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. (Ez. 
4:13.) 

c. I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken 
away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the 
dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, and have 
done according to all that thou hast commanded me. (Dt. 26:14.) 

d. Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men 
of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and 
beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, 
saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may 
know him. (Jud. 19:22.) 

e. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilder- 
ness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of 
his eye. (Dt. 32:10.) 

f. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, 
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps 
which never gave suck. (Luke 23:29.) 

g. Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed 



them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of judah only. 
(II Ks. 17:18.) 
Chapter 10. 

a. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt 
ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, 
then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. (I Ks. 
18:21.) 

b. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, 
and said unto them. It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: be- 
hold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 
(I Ks. 12:28.) 

c. When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then 
went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he 
not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. (Hos. 5:13.) 

d. And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it 
with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was 
as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descend- 
ed out of the mount. (Dt. 9:21.) 

e. And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to 
do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to 
destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from 
off the land whither thou goest to possess it. (Dt. 28:63.)*

righteousness shall be a sure reward. (Prov. 11:18.)

thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be

your great wickedness: in the morning shall 
the king of Is'ra-el utterly be cut off. 

CHAPTER 11. 

The ingratitude of Israel unto God for his 
benefits. 

1 'When is'ra-el was a 2 child, then I loved 
him, and called my "son "out of E'gypt. 

2 As they called them, 4 so they went from 
them: 6 they sacrificed unto Ba'al-im, and 
burned incense to graven images. 

3 I taught E'phra-im also to go, taking them 
by their arms; but they knew not that C I 
healed them. 

4 I drew them with cords 5 of a man, with 
bands of love: and I was to them as they that 
take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat 
unto them. 

5 H He shall not return into the land of 
E'gypt, but the As-syr'i-an shall be his king, 
because d they refused to return. 

6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, 
and shall consume his branches, and devour 
them, because of their own counsels. 

7 And my people are bent to "backsliding 
from me: though they called them to the most 
High, none at all would exalt him. 

8 7 How '"shall I give thee up, E'phra-im? how 
shall I deliver thee, Is'ra-el? how shall I make 
thee as Ad'mah? how shall I set thee as Ze- 
bo'im? fmine heart is turned within me, my re- 
pentings are kindled together. 

9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine 
anger, I will not return to destroy E'phra-im: 
0for I am God, and hot man; the Holy One in 
the s midst of thee: and I will not enter into 
the city. 

10 They shall walk after the Lord: he shall 
roar like a lion : when he shall roar, then the 
children shall tremble from the west. 

11 They shall tremble as a bird out of 
E'gypt, and as a °dove out of the land of As- 
syr'i-a: and I will place them in their houses, 
saith the Lord, 



7. Plotted wickedness. 
S. The fruit of iniquity. 

9. The "fruit of lies" here suggests 
that Israel has been guilty and en- 
deavoring to avail herself of the fruit 
of her guilt which, in the justice of 
God, shall become retributive unto 
her. 

10. In vs. 14, 15 the prophet briefly 
describes the ruin of Israel. 

Ch. 11. B. C. 740-728. 

1. Though Jehovah's former bless- 
ings have been received by Israel only 
in the spirit of ingratitude resulting 
in punishment, yet Jehovah promises 
restoration when retribution has been 
completed. 

2. That is, in the earliest stage of 
her national existence. 

3. A dual call, first into the land 
of Canaan, second to set before the 
world an example of true religion. 

4. The more they call, the farther 
they went from them, but the calling 
kept alive a true spirit in the breast 
of a remnant which - in time bore 
fruit. 

5. A new image suggesting kind- 
ness; Jehovah will draw his people 
unto him by such methods as men can 
bear. 

6. Not only do they backslide, but 
are determined to do so. 

7. In vs. S-ll is recorded a con- 
flict between justice and love. Jus- 
tice demands that all relations be- 
tween Jehovah and Israel be cut off. 
but love remonstrates, giving the as- 
surance that retribution will produce 
the necessary healing effect. 

8. As thy God. 

9. Observe the fig. has changed 
from a silly dove "easily deceived" 
to a dove flying to the windows. 

Ch. 12. B. C. 725. 

1. In this ch. the prophet severe- 
ly reproves Ephraim and Judah for 
their infidelity. 

'A That is, followeth vain illu- 
sions, such as alliances with idola 
ters. 

3. Under Ahaz, Judah had fallen 
into idolatry. 

4. Jacob. 

5. He contended with. 



12 E'phra-im compasseth me about with lies, 
and the house of Is'ra-el with deceit: but Ju- 
dah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with 
the saints. 

CHAPTER 12. • 

A reproof of Ephraim, Judah, and Jacob. 

1 'E'phra-im feedeth on 2 wind, and follow- 
eth after the east wind: he daily increaseth 
lies and desolation; "and they do make a cove- 
nant with the As-syr'i-an§, and oil is ^carried 
into E'gypt. 

2 The Lord hath also a controversy with 
'Ju'dah, and will punish Ja'cob according to 
his ways; according to his doings will he re- 
compense him. 

3 1f 4 He took his brother by the heel in the 
womb, and by his strength he c had power with 
God: 

4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and 
prevailed : he c wept, and made supplication unto 
him: he found him in ''Beth'-el, and there he 
spake with us; 

5 Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is 
his memorial. 

6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep 
mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God con- 
tinually. 

7 If He is a merchant, the balances of deceit 
are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. 

8 And E'phra-im said, Yet I am become rich, 
I have found me out substance: in all my 
labours they shall find none iniquity in me 
that were sin. 

9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the 
land of E'gypt will yet make thee to dwell in 
tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast. 

10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and 
I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, 
by the ministry of the prophets. 

11 Is there iniquity in Gil'e-ad? surely they 
are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in e Gil'gal; 
yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows 
of the fields. 

12 And Ja'cob fled into the country of Syr'- 
i-a, and Is'ra-el served for a wife, and for a 
wife he kept sheep. 

13 And by a prophet the Lord brought Is'- 
ra-el out of E'gypt, and by a prophet was he 
preserved. 

14 E'phra-im provoked him to anger most 
bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood 
upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord 
return unto him. 



g. He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his 
anger shall fail. (Prov. 22:8.) 

h. Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the 
gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out 
of mine hand? (II Ks. 18:34.) Where is the king of Hamath, and the 
king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and 
Ivah? (II Ks. 19:13.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is 
my son, even my first-born. (Ex. 4:22.) 

b. And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and 
made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and wor- 
shipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. (II Ks. 17:16.) 

e. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord 
thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear 
to his commandments, and will keep all his statutes, I will put none of 
these diseases upon thee, which i have brought upon the Egyptians: for 
I am the Lord that healeth thee. (Ex. 15:26.) 

d. Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all 
the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, 
and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law 
which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my ser- 
vants the prophets. (II Ks. 17:13.) B. C. 728. 

e. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, 
and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? (Jer. 
9:7.) And when he was come-near, he beheld the city, and wept over it. 
(Luke 19:41.) 

f. Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake 
against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are 
troubled for him: I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord. 
(Jer. 31:20.) 

g. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways 
my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 
so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your 
thoughts. (Is. 55:8, 9.) 



Chapter 12. 

a. And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had 
sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the 
king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; therefore the king of 
Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. (II Ks. 17:4.) When 
Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went 
Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; yet could he not 
heai you, nor cure you of your wound. (Hos. 5:13.) Ephraim also is like 
a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. (Hos. 
7:11.) 

b. The burden of the beasts of the south: Into the land of trouble 
and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and 
fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of 
young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a peo- 
ple that shall not profit them. (Is. 30:6.) And thou wentest to the king 
with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy 
messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell. (Is. 57:9.) 

c. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him 
until the breaking of the day (24). And he said, Thy name shall be 
called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with 
God and with men, and hast prevailed. (Gen. 32:24, 28.) 

d. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set upon the earth, and 
the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending 
and descending on it. And, behold! the Lord stood above it, and said, 
I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the 
land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed (12, 13). 
And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city 
was called Luz at the first. (Gen. 28:12, 13, 19.) And God appeared unto 
Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. And 
God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called 
any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name 
Israel (9, 10). And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake- 
with him, Bethel. (Gen. 35:9, 10, 15.) 

e. Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; 
and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three 
years. (Amos 4:4.)

CHAPTER 13. 



Ephraim's glory, by reason of idolatry, van- 
- isheth. 

1 When E'phra-im spake "trembling, he ex- 
alted himself in Is'ra-el; but 6 when he offended 
in Ba'al, he died. 

2 And now "they sin more and more, and 
have made them molten images of their silver, 
and idols according to their own understand- 
ing, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they 
say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss 
the calves. 

3 Therefore they shall be as the morning 
cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, 
as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind 
out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the 
chimney. 

4_Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land 
of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: 
for there is no saviour beside me. 

5 r I did know thee in the wilderness, in the 
land of great drought. 

6 According to their pasture, so were they 
filled; they were filled, and their heart was 

•exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. 

7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion : as 
a leopard by the way will I observe them: 

8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved 
of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their 
heart, and there will I devour them like a 
lion : fthe wild beast shall tear them. 

9 *~ Is'ra-el, s thou hast destroyed thyself; 
but in me is thine help. 

10 I will be thy king: where is any other 
that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy 
judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king 
and princes? 

11 I tfgave thee a king in mine anger, and 
took him away in my wrath. 

12 c The iniquity of E'phra-im is bound up; 
his sin is hid. 

13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall 
come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he 
should not stay long in the place of the break- 
ing forth of children. 

14 1 will ransom them from the power of 
the grave; I will redeem them from death: -°C 
death, I will be thy plagaes; grave, I will

1. In this eh. the fatal conse- 
quence of Ephraim's sinful ingrati- 
tude to God is presented. Israel's 
persistent infidelity has been the 
signing of he;- death-warrant. 



2. That is, tlie present generation 
continues to walk in the sinful paths 
of their profligate ancestors. 



Thy destruction is of thyself. 



4. That is. Jehovah will not be 
turned aside from his original pur- 
pose.

1. In this ch. Jehovah again prom- 
ises his blessings upon their repent- 
ance. Their abandonment of idolatry 
is foretold, also that the just shall 
walk In the way of God. while the 
wicked shall stumble therein. 



2. In vs. 5-9 Jehovah describes 
the blessings he will give, upon their 
true repentance. 



3. Stumble and fall over their own 
transgressions.

be thy destruction: ''repentance shall 4 be hid 
from mine eyes. 

15 f Though he be fruitful among his breth- 
ren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the 
Lord shall come up from the wilderness, and 
his spring shall become dry, and his fountain 
shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure 
of all pleasant vessels. 

16 Sa-ma'ri-a shall become desolate; 'for 
she hath rebelled against her God: they shall 
fall by the sword : their infants shall be dashed 
in pieces, and their women with child shall be 
ripped up. 

CHAPTER 14. 

1 An exhoi'tation to repentance. 4 A promise 

of God's blessing. 

1 1 is'ra-el, return unto the Lord thy God; 
for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 

2 Take with °you words, and turn to the 
Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, 
and receive us graciously: so will we render 
the calves b of our lips. 

3 As'shur shall not save us; we will not ride 
upon horses: neither will we say any more to 
the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for 
in thee the fatherless fmdeth mercy. 

4 r I will heal their backsliding, I will love 
them freely: for mine anger is turned away 
from him. 

5 2 I will be as the dew unto Is'ra-el: he 
shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots 
as Leb'a-non. 

6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty 
shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as 
Leb'a-non. 

7 They that dwell under his shadow shall 
return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow 
as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the 
wine of Leb'a-non. 

8 E'phra-im shall say, What have I to do 
any more with idols? I have c heard him, and 
observed him: I am like a green fir tree. 
''From me is thy fruit found. 

9 Who e is wise, and he shall understand 
these things? prudent, and he shall know 
them? for ''the ways of the Lord are right, 
and the just shall walk in them : but the trans- 
gressors shall fall therein. 



Chapter 13. 

a. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor 
is humility. (Prov. 1S:12.) 

b. And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and 
made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and 
worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. (II Ks. 17:16.) 

c. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they 
which pass by the way do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth 
waste it. and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. (Ps. 80:12, 13.) 

d. And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the 
people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, 
but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.. (I Sam. 
S:7.) 

e. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my 
treasures? (Dt. 32:34.) My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and 
thou sewest up mine iniquity. (Job 14:17.) 

f. He will swallow up death 'in victory; and the Lord God will wipe 
away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he 
take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 
25:8.) Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to 
come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel (12). 
And shall put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you 
in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, 
and" performed it, saith the Lord. (Ez. 37:12, 14.) 

g. So when this corruptible shall have put on ineorruption, and this 
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the 
saying that is written. Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, 
where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (I Cor. 15:34. 55.) 

h. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. (Rom. 
11:29.) 



i. Because they obeyed not the- voice of the Lord their God. hut 
transgressed his covenant, and all that iloses the servant of the Lord 
commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them. (II Ks. 18:12.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the 
porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, Lord, and 
give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over 
them: wherefore should thev sav among the people, Where is their God? 
(Joel 2:17.) 

b. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God con- 
tinually, that is, the fruit of our lins giving thanks to his name. (Heb. 
13:15.) 

c. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast 
chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the 
voke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my 
God. (Jer. 31:18.) 

d. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh 
down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither 
shadow of turning. (Js. 1:17.) 

e. Pilate therefore said unto him. Art thou a king then? Jesus 
answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and 
for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto 
the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. (Jno. 18:37.) 

f. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say. Behold 
a man gluttonous, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. 
But Wisdom is justified of her children. (Hat. 11:19.1 Unto you there- 
fore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, 
the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of 
the corner. (I Pet. 2:7.) 



JOEL 



NOTE. — The Book of Joel consists of three chs. containing an account of the prophecy of Joel, occasioned by the great desolation of Judah by a plague of 
locusts. The locusts were accompanied by a burning drouth, until all food for man and beast was destroyed. Joel used the occasion as a text for his prophecy, 
claiming that a calamity which led to such a result was so serious that it was from the hand of Jehovah as retribution. He prophesied entirely of Judea. His 
style is pure, characterized by smoothness and fluency. Someone has said, he combined the strength of Micah, tenderness of Jeremiah, vividness of Nahum, and 
sublimity of Isaiah. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Joel, declaring sundry judgments of God, ex- 
horteth to observe them, 8 and to mourn. 
14 He prescribeth a fast for complaint. 

1 J The "word of the Lord that came to Jo'el 
the son of Pe-thu'el. 

2 Hear this, ye 2 old men, and give ear, all 
ye inhabitants of the land. Hath 3 this been in 
your days, or even in the days of your fathers? 

3 & Tell ye 4 y° ur children of it, and let your 
children tell their children, and their children 
another generation. 

4 That which 5 the palmerworm hath left 
hath the locust eaten; and that which the lo- 
cust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and 
that which the cankerwom hath left hath the 
caterpiller eaten. 

5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, 
all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new 
wine; °for it is cut off from your mouth. 

6 For a c nation is come up upon my land, 
strong, and without number, d whose teeth are 
the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth 
of a great lion. 

7 He hath f laid my vine waste, and barked 
my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and 
cast it away; the branches thereof are made 
white. 

8 1 Lament like a virgin girded with sack- 
cloth for the husband of her youth. 

9 The meat Offering and the drink offering 
is cut off from the house of the Lord; the 
priests, the Lord's ministers, mourn. 

10 The field is wasted, Hhe land mourneth; 
for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried 
up, the oil languisheth. 

11 Be tfye ashame,d, O ye husbandmen ; howl, 
ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the 
barley; because the harvest of the field is 
perished. 

12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree 
languisheth; the s pomegranate tree, the palm 
tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees 
of the field, are withered: because joy is with- 
ered away from the sons of men. 

13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: 
howl, ye ministers of the altar : come, lie all 
night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: 
for the meat offering and the drink offering 
is withholden from the house of your God. 

14 If Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assem- 
bly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants 
of the land into the house of the Lord your 
God, and cry unto the Lord, 

15 Alas for the day! for the day of the 
Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from 
the Almighty shall it come. 

16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, 



Ch. 1, B. C. 800. 



1. In ch. 1 the prophet gives a 
vivid description of the terrible deso- 
lation caused by the plague of lo- 
custs, which was one of the instru- 
ments of divine judgment mentioned 
by iloses. (Dt. 2S:3S, 39)— "Thou 
Shalt carry much seed out into the 
field and shall gather but little in. for 
the locust shall consume it. Thuu 
shalt plant vineyards and dress them, 
but shalt neither drink of the wine 
nor gather the grapes; for the worms 
shall eat them." 



2. Addressed, because of their age, 
as the best judges of the past. 



3. Have you ever seen so grievous 
a calamity ? 



4. That they may be admonished 
to fear Jehovah. (Ex. 13:8) — "And 
thou shalt show thy son in that day, 
saying. This is done because of that 
which the Lord did unto me when I 
came forth out of Egypt." 



5. This verse contains the subject 
or text which is later expanded. The 
prophet does not mean to speak of 
four different species of insects, but 
the four stages of development of the 
locust, the gnawing, swarming, lick- 
ing, consuming locust. 



6. Alluding to the locust. 



7. Meal or food offering. 



8. A tree with a straight stem 
about 20 feet high; bearing fruit 
about the size of an orange, blood-red 
throughout. 



Ch. 2. B. C. 800. 



1. In this ch. the prophet declares 
the locusts to be symbols of an over- 
running and consuming enemy, and 
that the motive of the judgment is 
to lead to repentance. 



yea, ''joy and gladness from the house of our 
God? 

17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the 
garners are laid desolate, the barns are bro- 
ken down; for the corn is withered. 

18 How do *the beasts groan! the herds of 
cattle are perplexed, because they have no pas- 
ture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made deso- 
late. 

19 O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire 
hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, 
and the flame hath burned all the trees of the 
field. 

20 The beasts of the field ^'cry also unto 
thee: for the ^rivers of waters are dried up, 
and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the 
wilderness. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 The terribleness of God's judgment. 12 He 
exhorteth to repentance, 15 prescribeth a 
fast, 18 promiseth a blessing thereon. 

1 ^Blow ye the trumpet in Zi'on, and sound 
an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the 
inhabitants of the land tremble: for a the day 
of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 

2 6 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a 
day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the 
morning spread upon the mountains : a great 
people and a strong; c there hath not been ever 
the like, neither shall be any more after it, 
even to the years of many generations. 

3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind 
them a flame burnetii: the land is as the gar- 
den of E'den before them, and behind them a 
desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall es- 
cape them. 

4 The appearance of them is as the appear- 
ance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they 
run. 

5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of 
mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a 
flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a 
strong people set in battle array. 

6 Before their face the people shall be much 
pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 

7 They shall run like mighty men; they 
shall climb the wall like men of war; and they 
shall march every one on his ways, and they 
shall not break their ranks: 

8 Neither shall one thrust another; they 
shall walk every one in his path: and when 
they fall upon the sword, they shall not be 
wounded. 

9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they 
shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up 
upon the houses; they shall enter in at the 
windows like a thief. 

10 The earth shall quake before them; the

a. God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time

that they rain no rain upon it. (Is. 5:6.) ~ 

f. Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil neighbors, that touch

I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah

11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before 
his army: for his camp is very great: <*for 
he is strong* that executeth his word': for the 
day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and 
who can abide it? 

12 r Therefore also now, saith the Lord, 
turn e ye even to me with all your heart, and 
with fasting, and with weeping, and with 
mourning : 

13 And rend your heart, and not your gar- 
ments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for 
he is ^gracious and merciful, slow to anger, 
and of great kindness, and repenteth him of

his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and 
wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied there-

1 God's judgments against the enemies of his 
people. 9 God will be known in his judg- 
ment. 18 His blessing upon the church. 

1 2 For, behold, in those days, and in that 
time, when I shall ^bring again the captivity 
of Ju'dah and Je-ru'sa-lem, 

2 I will also gather 3 all nations, and will 
bring them down into the valley of Je-hosh'a- 
phat and a will plead with them there for my 
people and for my heritage Is'ra-el, whom they 
have scattered among the nations, and parted 
my land. 

3 And they have 6 cast lots for my people; 
and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold 
a 4 girl for wine, that they might drink. 

4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, 



were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. (Ex. 
10:14.) 

d. Their Redeemer is strong; The Lord of hosts is his name: he shall 
throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and 
disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. (Jer. 50:34.) 

e. If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto me; 
and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then 
shalt thou not remove. (Jer. 4:1.) Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep 
mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. (Hos. 12:6.) 

f. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) 

g. Defraud ye net one the other, except it be with consent for a 
time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer: and come 
together again, that Satan tempt you not for your ineontinencv. (I Cor. 
7:5.) 

h. That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the 
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son 
of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. (Mat. 
- 1 

i. And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth 
thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth 
out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 
(Ex. 32:11.) 

j. So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, 
saying. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and 
for Zion with a great jealousy. (Zech. 1:14.) 

k. And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took 
away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not 
one locust in all the coasts of Egypt. (Ex. 10:19.) 

1. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be 
yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river 
Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea, shall your coast be. (Dt. 11:24.) 

m. There is no fear in love; but perfect love castcth out fear: be- 



cause fear hath torment. He that f eareth is not made perfect in love. 
(I Jno. 4:18.) 

n. For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, 
and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their 
dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these 
things. (Zech. 8:12.) 

o. Be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. 
Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and 
hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. (Js. 
5:7.) 

p. I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides 
me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me. (Is. 45:5.) 

q. But this is- that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it 
shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my 
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream 
dreams. (Acts 2:16, 17.) 

r. But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him 
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that 
Jesus was not yet glorified. (Jno. 7:39.) 

s. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, 
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 
3:28.) 

t. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be 
saved. (Rom. 10:13.) 

u. I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my 
salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel 
my glory. (Is. 46:13.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. For by fire, and by his sword, will the Lord plead with all flesh: 
and the slain of the Lord .shall be many. (Is. 66:16.) 

b. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that 
the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered

"Tyre, and Zl'don, and all the coasts of Pales- 
tine? J will ye render me a recompence? and if 
ye recompense me, swiftly and e speedily will 1

5 Because ye have taken my silver and my 
gold, and have carried into your temples my 
goodly pleasant things: 

6 The children also of Ju'dah and the chil-

Gre'cians, that ye might remove them far from

7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place

into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of 
them. (Ob. 11.) 

c. Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for 
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they de- 
livered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brother- 
ly covenant. (Amos 1:9.) 

d. Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by 
revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it 
for the old hatred. (Ez. 25:15.) 

e. To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide 
in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things 
that shall come upon them make haste. (Dt. 32:35.) And shall not God 
avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear 
long with them? (Luke 18:7.) 

f. And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with 
the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, 
which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their 
heads. (Ez. 23:42.) 

g. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many 
people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their 



spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against na-

h. In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 
and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the 
house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them. 
(Zech. 12:8.) 

i. And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley 
of Berachah; and there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the 
same place was called The valley of Berachah, unto this day. (II Chr. 
20:26.) 

j. And another angel -came out of the temple, crying with a loud 
voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for 
the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 
(Rev. 14:15.) 

k. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, 
neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie; but they which 
are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Rev. 21:27.) 

1. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from 
Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them to-

AMOS 



NOTE. — The Book of Amos is named from its author, a Judean by birth, a monotheist in religion. There is not a Terse in his writings where he admits 
the possibility of any other deity except Jehovah. He scarcely uses a sentence which is not impregnated with a deep sense of Jehovah's righteousness and 
nearness to His people. To him Jehovah is all-powerful in heaven, earth and sheol. There is nothing which happens by chance in his conception of Jehovah; 
there is uothing in the affairs of nations or men not under the immediate control of the one true, living, and ever-present God. His style is bold and pure, 
aggressive and courageous, which qualities are simply reflections of the character of the man himself. He could see nothing but the truth of Jehovah, conse- 
quently to some his language would seem to border on the verge of severity, although it was only because of his high conception of the universality of Jehovah's 
power and the awfulness of sin. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 God's judgment upon Syria, 6 upon the 
Philistines, 9 upon Tyrus, 11 upon Edom, 
13 upon Amnion. 

1 The words of A'mos, who was among "the 
herdmen of Te-ko'a, which he saw concerning 
Is'ra-el in the days of Uz-zi'ah king of Ju'dah, 
and in the days of Jer-o-bo'am the son of 
Jo'ash king of Is'ra-el, two years before the 
Earthquake. 

2 And he said, The Lord will roar from 
Zi'on, and utter his voice from Je-ru'sa-lem; 
and the habitations of the shepherds shall 
mourn, and the top of Car'mel shall wither. 

3 Thus saith the Lord; For three Hrans^ 
gressions of Da-mas'cus, and for four, I will 
not turn away the punishment thereof; c be- 
cause they have threshed Gil'e-ad with thresh- 
ing instruments of iron: 

4 But I will send a fire into the house of 
Haz'a-el, which shall devour the palaces of 
Ben-ha'dad. 

5 I will break also the bar of Da-mas'cus, 
and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of 
A'ven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from 
the house of E'den: and the people of Syr'i-a 
shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the Lord. 

6 If Thus saith the Lord ; For three trans- 
gressions of ^Ga'za, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because 
they carried away captive the whole captivity, 
to deliver them up to 4 E'dom: 

7 But I will send a G fire on the wall of Ga'za, 
which shall devour the palaces thereof: 

8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from 
Ash'dod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from 
Ash'ke-lon, and I will turn mine hand against 
Ek'ron : and the remnant of the Phi-lis'tines 
shall perish, saith the Lord God. 

9 If Thus saith the Lord ; For three trans- 
gressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because 
they delivered up the whole captivity to E'dom, 
and remembered not the brotherly covenant: 

10 But I will send a fire on the wall of 
Ty'rus, which shall devour the palaces thereof. 

11 11 Thus saith the Lord; For three trans- 
gressions of e E'dom, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because 
he did pursue his brother fwith the sword, and 
did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear 
perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: 



Ch. 1. B. C. 787. 



1. So persistent have been the sins 
of Damascus that Jehovah cannot now 
turn away their punishment. 



2. Sometimes the victims were 
thrown down and the threshing- 
sledges with the sharp teeth down- 
ward were drawn over their bodies. 



3. The southernmost of the five 
capitals of Philistia, the key to Pales- 
tine on the south here used as mean- 
ii.g the whole Philistine nation. 



4. Judah's most bitter hold. 



That is, the flame of war. 



6. A city of Edom, named after a 
grandson of Esau. It was especially 
fanied for its wisdom. 



7. A city of Edom. (Is. 63:1.) 
Ch. 2. B. C. 787. 



1. That is, because of their per- 
sistency in transgression, Jehovah 
cannot turn away their punishment. 



2. The chief city of Moab. 



3. The prophet now begins the re- 
proof of his own people, who differ 
from the other nations in that their 
sin is directed against God. not mere- 
ly against man, and that their sin is 
not committed in ignorance nor in 
haste, but is willful and in spite of 
the light that has been given to them. 



4. Ceremonial and civil law. 



Wooden sandals. 



6. One of the maids attached to 
the idol Astartes. A part of her wor- 
ship was prostitution. 



12 But I will send a fire upon °Te'man, 
which shall devour the palaces of T B6z'rah. 

13 1f Thus saith the Lord; for three trans- 
gressions of the children of Am'mon, and for 
four, I will not turn away the punishment 
thereof; because they have ripped up the wom- 
en with child of Gil'e-ad, that they might en- 
large their border: 

14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall. of 
^Rab'bah, and it shall devour the palaces there- 
of, with shouting in the day of battle, with a 
tempest in the day of the whirlwind: 

15 And their king shall go into captivity, 
he and his princes together, saith the Lord. 

GHAPTER 2. 
1 God's wrath against Moab, 4 Judah, 6 and 
Israel. 9 God complaineth of their unthank- 
fulness. 

1 Thus saith the Lord; For Hhree trans- 
gressions of Mo'ab, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because he 
c burned the bones of the king of E'dom into 
lime: 

2 But I will send a fire upon Mo'ab, and it 
shall devour the palaces of 2 Kir'i-6th: and 
Mo'ab shall die with tumult, with shouting, 
and with the sound of the trumpet: 

3 And I will cut off Hhe judge from the 
midst thereof, and will slay all the princes 
thereof with him, saith the Lord. 

4 If Thus saith the Lord; For three trans- 
gressions of Ju'dah, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; c because 
they have despised the 3 law of the Lord, and 
have not kept his Commandments, and d their 
lies caused them to err, after the which their 
fathers have walked: 

5 But I c will send a fire upon Ju'dah, and it 
shall devour the palaces of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6 f Thus saith the Lord; For three trans- 
gressions of Is'ra-el, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because 
they sold ^the righteous for silver, and the 
poor r 'for a pair of shoes; 

7 That pant after the dust of the earth on 
the head of the poor, and turn aside the way 
of the meek: and a 'man and his father will 
go in unto the same °maid, to profane my 
''holy name: 

8 And they lay themselves down upon 
clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they

a. And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and 
said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on 
now mourning apparel. (II Sam. 14:2.) He chose David also his servant, 
and took him from the sheepfolds. (Ps. 78:70.) 

b. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley 
of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled 
from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and 
the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (Zech. 14:5.) 

c. Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, 
and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had 
destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing. (II Ks. 
L3:7.) 

d. Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that 
smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a 
cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. (Is. 14:29.) 

e. Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return 
and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall 
build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border ot 
wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation 
for ever. (Mai. 1:4.) 

f. For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried

know that I am the Lord. (Ez. 25:5.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. Then he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his 
stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there 



was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and 
returned to their own land. (II Ks. 3:27.) 

b. I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: 
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of 
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children 
of Sheth. (Num. 24:17.) 

c. We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the 
commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou com- 
mandedst thy servant Moses. (Neh. 1:7.) Yea, all Israel have trans- 
gressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; 
therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in 
the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against 
him. (Dan. 9:11.)

9 If Yet destroyed I the Am'or-ite before 
them, whose height was like the height of the 
cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I 
destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots 
from beneath. 

10 Also I brought you up from the land of 
E'gypt, and led you forty years through the 
wilderness, to possess the land of the Am'or- 
ite. 

11 And I raised up of your sons for proph- 
ets, and of your young men for Naz'a-rites. 
Is it not even thus, ye children of Is'ra-el? 
saith the Lord. 

12 But ye gave the Naz'a-rites wine to 
drink; and commanded the prophets, ^saying, 
Prophesy not. 

13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a 
cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. 

14 Therefore the flight shall perish from 
the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen 
his force, neither shall the mighty deliver him- 
self: 

15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the 
bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not 
deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth 
the horse deliver himself. 

16 And he that is courageous among the 
mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith 
the Lord. 

CHAPTER 3. 

The necessity of God's judgment against 
Israel.

ken against you, O children of Is'ra-el, against 
the whole family which I brought up from the 
land of E'gypt, saying, 

2 You only have I known of all the families 
of the earth: therefore 2 I will punish you for 
all your iniquities. 

3 Can two walk together, except they be 
agreed? 

4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he 
hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his 
den, if he have taken nothing? 

5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, 
where no gin is for him? shall one take up a 
snare from the earth, and have taken nothing 
at all? 

6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and 
the people not be afraid? shall there be evil 
in a city, and the Lord hath not done it? 

7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but 
6 he revealeth his 3 secret unto his servants the 
prophets. 

8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? 
the Lord God hath spoken, c who can but 
prophesy?

Ch. 4. B. C. 787. 



1. In ch. 4, the prophet reproves 
the nobles for their oppression and 
the whole nation for idolatry. He 
also declares that, as thoy have here- 
tofore resisted the judgments of God, 
and reformed not, they must now pre- 
pare for the last and greatest of all 
judgments. 



Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of 
Sa-ma'ri-a, and behold the great tumults in 
the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the 
midst thereof. 

10 For they know not to do right, saith the 
Lord, who store up violence and robbery in 
their palaces. 

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; d An 
adversary there shall be even round about the 
land; and he shall bring down thy strength 
from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. 

12 Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd 
taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, 
or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of 
is'ra-el be taken out that dwell in Sa-ma'ri-a 
in the corner of a bed, and in Da-mas'cus in a 
couch. 

13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Ja'- 
cob, saith the Lord God, the God of hosts, 

14 5 That in the day that I shall visit the 
transgressions of Is'ra-el upon him I will also 
visit the altars of Beth'-el : and the horns of 
the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the 
ground. 

15 And I will smite the winter house with 
the summer house; and the houses of ivory 
shall perish, and the great houses shall have 
an end, saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER 4. 

1 He reproveth Israel for oppression, 4 for 

idolatry, 8 and for their incorrigibleness. 

1 'Hear this word, ye kine of Ba'shan, that 
are in the mountain of Sa-ma'ri-a, which op- 
press the poor, which crush the needy, which 
say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. 

2 The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, 
that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that 
he will take you away with hooks, and your 
posterity with fishhooks. 

3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every 
cow at that which is before her; and ye shall 
cast them into the palace, saith the Lord. 

4 HCome to a Beth'-el, and transgress; at 
Gii'gal & multiply transgression ; and c bring 
your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes 
after d three years: 

5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with 
leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offer- 
ings: for this liketh you, O ye children of 
Is'ra-el, saith the Lord God. 

6 f And I also have given you cleanness of 
teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in 
all your places: c yet have ye not returned unto 
me, saith the Lord. 

7 And also I have withholden the rain from 
you, when there were yet three months to the 
harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, 
and caused it not to rain upon another city: 
one piece was rained upon, and the piece 
whereupon it rained not withered. 

8 So two or three cities wandered unto one 



to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. (Lev. 20:3.) For 
the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it 
is written. (Rom. 2:24.) 

i. Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy 
not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy de- 
ceits. (Is. 30:10.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, 
and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great 
evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done 
upon Jerusalem. (Dan. 9:12.) And that servant, which knew his lord's 
will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall 
be beaten with my stripes. (Luke 12:47.) 

b. And the Lord said. Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which 
I do? (Gen. 18:17.) For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his 
secret is with the righteous. (Prov. 3:32.) Henceforth I call you not 
servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have 
called you friend; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have 
made known unto you. (Jno. 15:15.) 

c. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for 
necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the 
gospel! (I Cor. 9:16.) 

d. In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, 
and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in 
Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. (II Ks. 
17:6.) And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which 
was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elan king of Israel, that Shal- 



maneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it. 
And at the end of three years they took it; even in the sixth year of 
Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was 
taken. And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, 
and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the 
cities of the Medes. (II Ks. 18:9-11.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; Go ye, 
serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken 
unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with 
your, idols. (Ez. 20:39.) 

b. Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend: 
and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, 
The Lord liveth. (Hos. 4:15.) Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they 
are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as 
heaps in the furrows of the fields. (Hos. 12:11.) 

c. And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire 
which ye shall offer unto the Lord; two lambs of the first year without 
spot, day by day, for a continual burnt offering. The one lamb shalt 
thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even. 
(Num. 28:3, 4.) 

d. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithes of 
thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates. (Dt. 
14:28.) 

e. I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all 
the labors of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.

city, to drink water; but they were not satis- 
fied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith 
the Lord. 

9 I fhave smitten you with blasting and 
mildew: when your gardens and your vine- 
yards and your fig trees and your olive trees 
increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet 
have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. 

10 1 have sent among you the pestilence 
after the manner of E'gypt: your young men 
have I slain with the sword, and have taken 
away your horses; and I have made the stink 
of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: 
yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the 
Lord. 

11 I have overthrown some of you, as God 
overthrew Sod'om and Go-mor'rah, #and ye 
were as a firebrand plucked out of the burn- 
ing: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith 
the Lord. 

12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, 
Is'ra-el: and because I will do this unto thee, 
prepare to mieet thy God, Is'ra-el. 

13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, 
and createth the wind, and declareth unto man 
what is his thought, that maketh the morning 
darkness, and treadeth upon the high places 
of the earth, 7l The Lord, The God of hosts, is 
his name. 

CHAPTER 5, 
1 A lamentation for Israel. 4 An exhortation 
to repentance. 21 God rejecteth their hypo- 
critical service. 

1 1 Hear ye this word which I °take up 
against you, even a lamentation, house of 
Is'ra-el. 

2 The virgin of is'ra-el is fallen; she shall 
no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; 
there is none to raise her up. 

3 For thus saith the Lord God; The city 
that went out by a thousand shall leave an 
hundred, and that which went forth by an 
hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Is'- 
ra-el. 

4 f For thus saith the Lord unto the house 
of Is'ra-el, 2 Seek 6 ye me, and ye shall live:_ 

5 But seek not c Beth'-el, nor enter into Gil'- 
gal, and pass not to Be'er-she'ba : for Gfi'gal 
shall surely go into captivity, and Beth'-el 
shall come to nought. 

6 Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he 
break out like fire in the house of Jo'seph, and 
devour it, and there be none to quench it in 
Beth'-el. 

7 Ye who turn judgment to 3 wormwood, and 
leave off righteousness in the earth, 



2. That is. Jehovah is now about 
to visit upon them their last and 
greatest punishment, the extinction 
of their nationality. Now what can 
they do toward relieving the extreme 
severity? 



Ch. 5. B. C. 787. 



1. Ch. 5, is an elegy delivered over 
the prostrate kingdom of Israel. Je- 
hovah declares that the day of judg- 
ment shall be terrible to those who 
scorn and despise it, also that cere- 
monial services are not accepted by 
him when the true worship of the 
heart does not exist. The people are 
again exhorted to repent. 



That is. seek me and live. 



3. Justice perverted becomes a bit- 
ter wrong. 



4. A continuation nf v. 13. The 
prophet recognizes that the people will 
continue in their unrighteousness.

8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and 
6-ri'on, and turneth the shadow of death into 
the morning, and maketh the day dark with 
night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, 
and poureth them out upon the face of the 
earth: The Lord is his name: 

9 That strengthened the spoiled against the 
strong, so that the spoiled shall come against 
the fortress. 

10 They ^hate him that rebuketh in the gate, 
and they e abhor him that speaketh uprightly. 

11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is 
upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens 
of wheat: ye have ^built houses of hewn stone, 
but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have plant- 
ed pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink 
wine of them. 

12 For I know your manifold transgressions 
and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, 
they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor 
in the gate from their right. 

13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence 
in that time; for it is an evil time. 

14 Seek sgood, and not evil, that ye may 
live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall 
be with you, as ye s have spoken. 

15 Hate, the 'evil, and love the good, and es- 
tablish judgment in the gate: -'"it may be that 
the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto 
the remnant of Jo'seph. 

16 Therefore Hhe Lord, the God of hosts, 
the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all 
streets ; and they shall say in all the highways, 
Alas! alas! and they shall call the husband- 
man to mourning, and such as are skilful of 
lamentation to wailing. 

17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: 
for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord. 

18 Woe A 'unto you that desire the day of the 
Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of 
the Lord is darkness, and not light. 

19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a 
bear met him; or went into the house, and 
leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit 
him. 

20 Shall not the day of the Lord be dark- 
ness, and not light? even very dark, and no 
brightness in it? 

21 \ I 'hate, I despise your feast days, and 
I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. 

22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and 
your meat Offerings, I will not accept them: 
neither will I regard the peace offerings of 
your fat beasts. 

23 Take thou away from me the noise of 
thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of 
thy viols. 



f. The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, 
and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the 
sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee 
until thou perish. (Dt. 28:22.) 

g. And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; 
even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a 
brand plucked out of the fire? (Zech. 3:2.) 

h. As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy 
One of Israel. (Is. 47:4.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up 
a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken 
the generation of his wrath. (Jer. 7:29.) 

b. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek 
him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 
(II Chr. 15:2.) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; 
knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) For thou, Lord, hast 
not forsaken them that seek thee. (Ps. 9:10.) I sought the Lord, and 
he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Ps. 34:4.) 

c. Come to Bethel, and transgress: at Gilgal multiply transgression; 
and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three 
years. (Amos 4:4.) 

d. That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for 
him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of 
nought. (Is. 29:21.) 

e. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one 
man, Michaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the Lord: 
but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. 
(I Ks. 22:8.) 

f. Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: 
thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt 
plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof (30). Thou 
shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; 
for the locust shall consume it. Thou Shalt plant vineyards, and dress 



them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for 
the worms shall eat them. (Dt. 28:30, 38, 39.) Thou shalt sow, but thou 
shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint 
thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine. (Mic. 6:15.) 
Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desola- 
tion: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they 
shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. (Zeph. 1:13.) 

g. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) 

h. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach 
for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean 
upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come 
upon us. (Mic. 3:11.) 

i. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; 
cleave to that which is good. (Rom. 12:9.) 

j. And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the 
people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; 
peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. (Ex. 32:30.) 

k. Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of 
Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? (El. 
12:22.) There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their 
own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since 
the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were frem the be- 
ginning of the creation. (II Pet. 3:3, 4.) 

1. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith 
the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed 
beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of 
he-goats. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at 
your hand, to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations: incense 
is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of 
assemblies, I cannot away with: it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a 
trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth 
your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many

24 But let 'judgment run down as waters, 
and righteousness as a mighty stream. 

25 Have '"ye offered unto me sacrifices and 
offerings in the wilderness forty years, house 
of Is'ra-el? 

26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of 
your Mo'loch and Chi'un your images, the 
star of your god, which ye made to your- 
selves. 

27 Therefore will I cause you to go into 
captivity beyond Da-mas'cus, saith the Lord, 
whose name is The God of hosts. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 The wantonness of Israel, 7 shall be "plagued 
with desolation, 12 and their incorrig ible- 
ness. 

1 *Woe to them that are at ease in Zi'on, 
and trust in the mountain of Sa-marl-a, which 
are named a chief of the nations, to whom the 
house of Is'ra-el came! 

2 Pass ye unto 2 Cal'neh, and see; and from 
thence go ye to & Ha'math the great: then go 
down to Gath of the Phi-lis'tines : be they bet- 
ter than these kingdoms? or their border great- 
er than your border? 

3 Ye that c put far away the evil day, and 
cause the seat of violence to come near; 

4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch 
themselves upon their couches, and eat the 
lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of 
the midst of the stall; 

5 That chant to the sound of the viol, and 
invent to themselves instruments of musick 
like David; 

6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint 
themselves with the chief ointments: but they 
are not grieved for the affliction of Jo'§eph. 

7 If Therefore now shall they go captive with 
the first that go captive, and the banquet of 
them that stretched themselves shall be re- 
moved. 

8 The Lord God hath sworn by himself, 
saith the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the 
excellency of Ja'cob, and hate his palaces: 
therefore will I 'deliver up the city with all 
that is therein. 

9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain 
ten men in one house, that they shall die. 

10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, 
and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones 
out of the house, and shall say unto him that 
is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any 
with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall 
he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make 
mention of the name of the Lord. 

11 For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and 
he will smite the great house with breaches, 
and the little house with clefts.

the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you 
from the ''entering in of He'math unto the 
river of the wilderness. 

CHAPTER 7. 

1 The judgments of the grasshoppers, 4 and 
of the fire, are diverted by the prayer of 
Amos. 10 Amaziah complaineth of Amos. 

1 'Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; 
and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the 
beginning of the shooting up of the latter 
growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after 
the king's mowings. 

2 And it came to pass, that when they had 
made an end of eating the grass of the land, 
then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech 
thee: "by whom shall Ja'cob arise? for he is 
small. 

3 The 6 Lord repented for this: It shall not 
be, saith the Lord. 

4 1f Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto 
me: and, behold, the Lord God called to con- 
tend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, 
and did eat up a part. 

5 Then said I, Lord God, cease, I beseech 
thee: by whom shall Ja'cob arise? for he is 
small. 

6 The Lord 2 repented 6 for this: This also 
shall not be, saith the Lord God. 

7 If Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the 
Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, 
with a 3 plumbline in his hand. 

8 And the Lord said unto me, A'mos, what 
seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then 
said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline 
in the midst of my people Is'ra-el: C I will not 
again pass by them any more: 

9 And the high places of I'saac shall be 
desolate, and the sanctuaries of Is'ra-el shall 
be laid waste ; and I will rise against the house 
of Jer-o-bo'am with the sword. 

10 If 4 Then Am-a-zi'ah ^the priest of Beth'-el 
sent to Jer-o-bo'am king of Is'ra-el, saying, 
A'mos hath conspired against thee in the midst 
of the house of Is'ra-el: the land is not able 
to bear all his words. 

11 For thus A'mos saith, Jer-o-bo'am shall 
die by the sword, and Is'ra-el shall surely be 
led away captive out of their own land. 

12 Also Am-a-zI'ah said unto A'mos, O thou 
seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Ju'dah, 
and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 

13 But prophesy not again any more at 
Beth'-el; for it is the king's chapel, and it is 
the king's court. 

14 1 Then answered A'mos, and said to Am- 
a-zi'ah, I was no prophet, neither was I a 
prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a 
gatherer of sycomore fruit: 

15 And the Lord took me as I followed the 



prayers, I -will not bear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make 
you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; 
cease to do evil. (Is. 1:11, 16.) 

m. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of 
heaven; as it is written in the book of the Prophets, O ye house of 
Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of 
forty years in the wilderness? (Acts 7:42.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: 
for all the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) 

b. Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the 
gods of Sepharvaim, .Hena, and of Ivah? have they delivered Samaria 
out of mine hand? (II Ks. 18:34.) 

c. Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision 
that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times 
that are far off. (Bz. 12:27.) 

d. They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: 
thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. 
(Hos. 10:4.) 

e. There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty 
man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for 
safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. (Ps. 33:16, 17.) 

f. And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, 



a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river 
of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, even 
fourteen days. (I Ks. 8:65.) 
Chapter 7. 

a. These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? 
desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom 
shall I comfort thee? (Is. 51:19.) 

b. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when be seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut 
up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) Confess your faults one to another, and pray 
one for another, that ye. may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of 
a righteous man availeth much. (Js. 5:16.) Nevertheless he regarded 
their affliction, w-hen he heard their cry. (Ps. 106:44.) And the Lord re- 
pented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. (Ex. 32:14.) 
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord 
your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great 
kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:13.) He will regard 
the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. (Ps. 102:17.) 

c. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth 
by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his 
anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. (Mic. 7:18.) 

d. And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fif- 
teenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he 
offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves

flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy 
unto my people Is'ra-el. 

16 11 Now "therefore hear thou the word of 
the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against 
Is'ra-el, and drop not thy word against the 
house of I'gaac. 

17 Therefore c thus saith the Lord; Thy wife 
shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons 
and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and 
thy land shall be divided by line; and thou 
shalt die in a polluted land: and is'ra-el shall 
surely go into captivity forth of his land. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 By a basket of summer fruit is shewed the 
propinquity of Israel's end. 4 Oppression is 
reproved. 

1 Thus hath the J Lord God shewed unto me: 
and behold a basket of 2 summer fruit. 

2 And he said, A'mos, what seest thou? And 
I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said 
the Lord unto me, a The end is come upon my 
people of Is'ra-el; I will not again pass by 
them any more. 

3 And the songs of the temple shall be howl- 
ings in that day, saith the Lord God: there 
shall be many dead bodies in every place; they 
shall cast them forth with silence. 

4 11 Hear this, ye that swallow up the 
needy, even to make the poor of the land to 
fail, 

5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, 
that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that 
we may set forth wheat, making the ephah 
small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the 
balances by deceit? 

6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and 
the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell 
the refuse of the wheat? 

7 The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of 
Ja'cob, Surely I will never 3 forget any of their 
works. 

8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and 
every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and 
it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall 
be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of 
E'gypt. 

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
saith the Lord God, that I ^will cause the sun 
to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth 
in the clear day: 

10 And I will turn your feasts into mourn- 
ing, and all your songs into lamentation; and 
I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and 
4 baldness upon every head; and C I will make 
it as the mourning of an only son, and the end 
thereof as a bitter day. 

11 11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord

that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places 
which he had made. (I Ks. 12:32.) 

e. Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, Send to 
all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shem- 
aiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, 
and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: Therefore thus 
saith the Lord, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and 
his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither 
shall he hehold the good that I will do for my people, saith the Lord; 
because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord. (Jer. 29:30-32.)

a. Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of 
Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. 
(Ez. 7:2.) 

b. Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a 
vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine: and the 
sun shall go down over the prophets, and the dav shall be dark over 
them. (Mic. 3:6.) 

c. daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow 
thyself in ashes; make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter 
lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. (Jer. 6:26.) 
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they shall look 
upon me whom they have -pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one 
mourn eth for his only son. and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that 
is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zeeh. 12:10.) 

d. And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And 
the word oi the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open 
vision, fl Sam. 3:1.) We see not our signs: there is no more any 
prop i is there among us any that knoweth how long. (Ps. 74:9.) 

e. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put. he in Dan. And

4. The sign of mourning. (Is. 15:2) 
— "He is gone up to Bajith and to 
Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab 
shall howl over Nebo and over Mede- 
ba : on all their heads shall be bald- 
ness, and every beard cut off." 



5. The time shall come when they 
will hunger and thirst after the word 
of God, but the day will have passed 
for them to receive it as formerly.

of ^hearing "the words of the Lord: 

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, 
and from the north even to the east, they shall 
run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, 
and shall not find it. 

13 In that day shall the fair virgins and 
young men "faint for thirst. 

14 They that swear e by the sin of Sa-ma'-

The ''manner of Be'er-she'ba liveth; even they 
shall fall, and never rise up again.

1 The certainty of the desolation. 11 The re- 
storing of the tabernacle of David. 

1 *I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: 
and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that 
the posts may shake: and cut them in the 
head, all of them; and I will slay the last of 
them with the sword: he that fleeth of them 
shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of 
them shall not be delivered. 

2 Though °they dig into hell, thence shall 
mine hand take them; though they climb up 
to heaven, thence will I bring them down: 

3 And though they 6 hide themselves in the 
top of Car'mel, I will search and take them 
out thence; and though they be hid from my 
sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I 
command the serpent, and he shall bite them: 

4 And though they go into captivity before 
their enemies, °thence will I command the 
sword, and it shall slay them: and d I will set 
mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. 

5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that 
toucheth the land, and it shall e melt, and all 
that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall 
rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be 
drowned, as by the flood of E'gypt. 

6 It is he that buildeth his stories in the 
heaven, and hath founded his troop in the 
earth; he that calleth for the waters of the 
sea, and poureth them out upon the face of 
the earth: The Lord is his name.

Lord. Havenot I brought up Is'ra-el out of 
the land of E'gypt? and the Phi-lis'tine§ from 
^Caph'tor, and the Syr'i-an§ from Kir? 

8 Behold, #the eyes of the Lord God are 
upon the sinful kingdom, and I ft will destroy 
it from off the face of the earth; saving that 
I will not utterly destroy the house of Ja'cob, 
saith the Lord. 

9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift 
the house of Is'ra-el among all nations, like 
as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the 
least grain fall upon the earth. 



this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, 
even unto Dan. (I Ks. 12:29, 30.) 

f. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have 
eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the mul- 
titude of thy mighty men. (Hos. 10:13.) This man was instructed in the 
way of the Lord. (Acts 18:25.) Bu* this I confess unto thee, that after 
the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers.

a. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in

b. Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? 
saith the Lord: do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. (Jer. 
23:24.) 

c. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the 
sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling 
heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind. (Dt. 28:65.) 

d. And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the 
strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I 
will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut 
him off from among his people. (Lev. 17:10.) 

e. And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys 
shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured 
down a steep place. (Mic. 1:4.)

OBADIAH 



XOTE. — The shortest book in the Old Testament and placed next to Amos to serve as a commentary to the brief prophecy of that book, 
the subjugation of Edoru by the Jews. Obadiah. containing a fuller statement of this subject, immediately follows as an explanatory statement. 



Amos predicts 



1 The destruction of Edom, 3 for their pride, 
10 and for their wrong unto Jacob. 17 The 
salvation and victory of Jacob. 

1 ^he vision of O-ba-di'ah, Thus saith the 
Lord God "concerning E'dom; We have heard 
a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador 
is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let 
us rise up against her in battle. 

2 Behold, I have made thee small among 
the heathen: thou art greatly despised. 

3 If The pride of thine heart hath deceived 
thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts 6 of the 
rock, whose habitation is high; c that saith in 
his heart, Who shall bring me down to the 
ground? 

4 Though thou ^exalt thyself as the eagle, 
and though thou set thy nest among the stars, 
thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord. 

5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by 
night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not 
have stolen till they had enough? if the grape- 
gatherers came to thee, would they not leave 
some grapes? 

6 How are the things of E'sau searched out! 
how are his hidden things sought up! 

7 All the men of thy confederacy have 
brought thee even to the border: the men that 
were at peace with thee have deceived thee, 
and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy 
bread have laid a wound under thee: there is 
none understanding in him. 

8 Shall I not in that day, saiththe Lord, 
even destroy the wise men out of EMom, and 
understanding out of the mount of E'sau? 

9 And thy c mighty men, Te'man, shall be 
dismayed, to the end that every one of the 
mount of E'sau may be cut off by slaughter. 

10 IF For thy ^violence against thy brother 
Ja'cob 2 shame shall cover thee, and #thou shalt 
be cut off for ever. 

11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other 
side, in the day that the strangers carried 
away captive his forces, and foreigners en- 
tered into his gates, and cast lots upon Je- 
ru'sa-lem, even thou wast as one of them. 

12 But thou shouldest not have looked on 
the May of thy brother in the day that he be-

1. This ch. contains an account of 
the prophecy of the doom of Edom be- 
cause of her cruelty to Judah. also a 
short account of the restoration of the 
Jews. 



2. Not simply his brother, but his 
twin brother. 



3. The day of his calamity. 



4. The day when Jehovah will 
manifest himself as a righteous pun- 
isher of the ungodly. 



5. That is. drank of the cup of 
wrath, viz., as his people were dis- 
possessed of their goods and nation by 
Edom and all the heathen, so now 
shall Edom and all the heathen drink 
of the same cup.

came a stranger; neither shouldest thou have 
''rejoiced over the children of Ju'dah in the 
day of their destruction ; neither shouldest thou 
have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 

13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the 
gate of my people in the day of their calamity ; 
yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their 
affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have 
laid hands on their substance in the day of 
their calamity; 

14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the 
crossway, to cut off those of his that did es- 
cape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up 
those of his that did remain in the day of dis- 
tress. 

15 For the May of the Lord is near upon all 
the heathen: *as thou hast done, it shall be 
done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon 
thine own head. 

16 For as ye have drunk 5 upon my holy 
mountain, so shall all the heathen drink con- 
tinually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall 
swallow down, and they shall be as though 
they had not been. 

17 \But upon mount Zl'on shall be ideliv^ 
erance, and there shall be holiness; and the 
house of Ja'cob shall possess their possessions. 

18 And the house of Ja'cob shall be a fire, 
andthe house of Jo'§eph a flame, and the house 
of E'sau for stubble, and they shall kindle in 
them, and devour them; and there shall not be 
any remaining of the house of E'sau; for the 
Lord hath spoken it. 

19 And they of the south shall possess the 
mount of E'sau; A 'and they of the plain the 
Phi-lis'tine§: and they shall possess the fields 
of E'phra-Im, and the fields of Sa-ma'ri-a: 
and Ben'ja-min shall possess GiTe-ad. 

20 And the captivity of this host of the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el shall possess that of the Ca'- 
naan-ites, even unto Zar'e-phath; and the cap- 
tivity of Je-ru'sa-lem, which is in Seph'a-rad, 
shall possess the cities of the south. 

21 And 'saviours shall come_ up on mount 
Zl'on to "judge the. mount of E'sau; and the 
kingdom shall be the Lord's. 



Ref. Obadiah. 

a. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come 
down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse to judgment. (Is. 
34:5.) Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilder- 
ness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have 
shed innocent blood in their land. (Joel 3:19.) 

b. He slew of Edom in the valley of Salt ten thousand, and took 
Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day. (II Ks. 
14:7.) 

e. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I 
will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the 
mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. (Is. 14:13.) 

d. Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head 
reach unto the clouds; Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: 
they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? (Job 20:6, 7.) 

e. The stout-hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep; and 
none of the men of might have found their hands. (Ps. 76:5.) And he 
that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, 
saith the Lord. (Amos 2:16.) 

f. Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; 
who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. (Ps. 137:7.) 
Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, 
I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his 
brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear 
perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever. (Amos 1:11.) 



g. Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return 
and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall 
build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of 
wickedness, and the people against whom the Lord hath indignation for 
ever. (Mai. 1:4.) 

h. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart he 
glad when he stumbleth; Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and 
he turn away his wrath from him. (Prov. 24:17, 18.) 

i. As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, 
because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, 

mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it; and they shall know that 

1 am the Lord. (Ez. 35:15.) 

j. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut 
up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) 

k. And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; 
they shall feed thereupon: in the house of Ashkelon shall they lie down 
in the evening; for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away 
their captivity. (Zeph. 2:7.) 

1. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of 
hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because 
of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, 
and he shall deliver them. (Is. 19:20.)

JONAH 



NOTE. — The Book of Jonah receives its name from him who is its chief personage. As to the author, the Christian scholars are very much divided, many 
of them claiming that Jonah was himself the author, while about an equal number claim that some unknown person was the author, they being unwilling to 
assign the authorship to Jonah, yet unable to produce anyone else as the probable author. The book seemingly was written chiefly for the purpose of reproof 
to Israel, for she had been boasting of being God's elect, yet repented not of her sin, though warned by many prophets; while the great heathen city, Nineveh, 
center of the great world-power, repenfed under the preaching of one lone prophet during a period of 40 days. Another purpose of the book is to show forth the 
folly of disobeying Uod when one is called to any work. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Jonah, sent to Nineveh, fteeth to Tarshish. 
4 He is bewrayed by a tempest, 11 thrown 
into the sea, 17 and swalloived by a fish.' 

1 'Now the word of the Lord came unto 
"Jonah the son of A-mlt'ta-i, saying, 

2 Arise, go to "Nin'e-veh, that great city, 
and cry against it; for b their wickedness is 
come up before me. 

3 But Jo'nah rose up to 3 flee unto Tar'shish 
from the presence of the Lord, and went down 
to 4f J6p'pa; and he found a ship going to 
'Tar'shish: so he paid the fare thereof, and 
went down into it, to go with them unto Tar'- 
shish from the presence of the Lord. 

4 r But the Lord sent out a great wind into 
the sea, and there was a .mighty tempest in the 
sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 

5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried 
every man unto his god, and cast forth the 
wares that were in the ship into the sea, to 
lighten it of them. But Jo nan was gone down 
into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was 
fast asleep. 

6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said 
unto him, What meanest thou, sleeper? arise, 
d call upon thy God, if so be that God will think 
upon us, that we perish not. 

7 And they said every one to his fellow, 
Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know 
for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they 
cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jo nah. 

8 Then said they unto him, 'Tell us, we 
pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon 
us; What is thine occupation? and whence 
comest thou? what is thy country? and of what 
people art thou? 

9 "And he said unto them, I am an He'brew; 
and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which 
hath' made the sea and the dry land. 

10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, 
and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? 
For the men knew that he fled from the pres- 
ence of the Lord, because he had told them. 

11 * Then said they unto him, What shall 
we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto 
us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestu- 
ous. 

12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and 
cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be 



Ch. l. B. C. 862. 

1. In ch. 1 is given an account of 
Jonah's mission to Nineveh, his flight, 
punishment, and miraculous preserva- 
tion. 

2. Situated east of the Tigris; the 
great city of the heathen nations at 
that time. This is the ouly account 
of a prophet being sent to preach to 
the heathen. In this case it was not 
so much to preach repentance to Nine- 
veh as to shame Israel by the fact 
that a heathen city repented under 
the first preachings of one lone 
stranger, whereas God's people have 
not repented under the powerful 
preaching of many prophets for many 
years. 

3. In eh. 4:2. is a hint at the 
cause of Jonah's flight. He seems to 
have been afraid that, after warning 
so powerful a heathen city, his prophe- 
cies would be set aside by God's "Re- 
penting of the evil which he had 
threatened, just as he had so long 
done in sparing Israel." 

3. It is also claimed that Jonah 
felt the sting of being sent to preach 
to a foreign, idolatrous nation, whose 
destruction he preferred personally to 
their repentance. 

4. In the region of Dan. 

5. Taetessus, in Spain. In the 
opposite direction to Nineveh. 

6. Jonah seems to have -purposely 
used the word Hebrew, as they uever 
used the word Israelit3 except among 
themselves. 

7. Because Jehovah's displeasure 
was against them. 

S. A symbol of death and miracu- 
lous preservation. Typifying the pres- 
ent condition of Nineveh and the ne- 
cessity of a spiritual resurrection 
from the depth of sin and moral deg- 
radation of their present existence. 

Ch. 2. B. V. 862. 

1. In this ch. is given an account 
of Jonah's prayer of faith and deliv- 
erance. 

2. That is, from favorable regard 
as a just retribution of one who had 
fled from the presence of the Lord. 
He at once desired to flee from the 
presence of Jehovah, which, after 
having done, he considers to be the 
bitterest sorrow he could be forced to 
bear. 



calm unto you: for I know that for my sake 
this great tempest is upon you. 

13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to 
bring it to the land; ''but they 7 could not: for 
the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against 
them. 

14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and 
said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, 
let us not perish for this man's life, and ^lay 
not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, 
hast done as it pleased thee. 

15 So they took up Jo'nah, and cast him 
forth into the sea: and the sea ''ceased from 
her raging. 

16 Then the men feared the Lord exceeding- 
ly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and 
made vows. 

17 If Now the Lord had prepared a great 
fish to swallow s up ^Jo'nah. And Jd'nah was 
in the belly of the fish three days and three 
nights. 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 Prayer of Jonah. 10 He is > delivered from 

the fish. 

1 'Then Jo'nah prayed unto the Lord his 
God out of the fish's belly, 

2 And said, I cried by reason of mine af- 
fliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out 
of the belly of "hell cried I, and thou heardest 
my voice. 

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in 
the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed 
me about : all thy billows and thy waves passed 
over me. 

4 Then 6 I said, I am cast out 2 of thy sight; 
yet I will look again toward c thy holy temple. 

5 The waters compassed me about, even to 
the soul: thy depth closed me round about, 
the weeds were wrapped about my head. 

6 I went down to the bottoms of the moun- 
tains; the earth with her bars was about me 
for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life 
from ^corruption, Lord my God. 

7 When my soul fainted within me I re- 
membered the Lord: e and my prayer came in 
unto thee, into thine holy temple.

their own mercy.

a. He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Haniath unto 
the sea of the plain, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, 
which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, 
the prophet, which was of Gath-hepher. (II Ks. 14:25.) 

b. Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, I will go down 
now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of 
it, which is come unto me. (Gen. 1S:20, 21.) Behold, the hire of the 
laborers which have reaped dow-n your fields, which is of you kept back 
by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them which have reaped are entered 
into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. (Js. 5:4.) 

c. And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt 
need; and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa, and thou 
shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. (II Chr. 2:16.) Now there was at Joppa 
a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called 
Dorcas. (Acts 9:36.) 

d. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he hringeth 
them out of their distresses. (Ps. 107:28.) And they cried unto the Lord, 
and said, We have, sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and 
have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand 
of our enemies, and we will serve thee. (I Sam. 12:10.) 

e. And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory 
to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me 
now' what thou hast done; hide it not from me. (Josh. 7:19.) Then Saul 
said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. (I Sam. 14:43.) 

f. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the 
Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we 
stronger than he? (I Cor. 10:22.) 

g. Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast re- 
deemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy ,people of Israel's charge. 
And the blood shall be forgiven them. (Dt. 21:8.) 

h. Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, 
thou stillest them. (Ps. 89:9.) And they came to him, and awoke him, 



saying, Master, master, we perish! Then he arose, and rebuked the 
wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a 
calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being 
afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! 
for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. (Luke 
8:24, 25.) 

i. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's 
belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the 
heart of the earth. (Mat. 12:40.) A wicked and adulterous generation 
seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the 
sign of the prophet Jonas. (Mat. 16:4.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: 
it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth: it 
hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Is. 14:9.) 

b. For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: 
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried 
unto thee. (Ps. 31:22.) 

c. What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or 
by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his 
own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: Then hear- 
thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to 
every man according to his ways, whose -heart thou knowest. (I Ks. 
8:38, 39.) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are per- 
plexed, but not in despair. (II Cor. 4:8. ) 

d. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer 
thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.) 

e. In my distress I^called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: 
he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even 
into his ears. (Ps. 18:6.) 

f. Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most 
High. (Ps. 50:14.) I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and 
will call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord

voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that 1

10 r And the Lord ?spake unto the fish, and 
it vomited out Jo'nah upon the dry land. 

CHAPTER 3. 
Jonah, sent again, preacheth to the Ninevites. 

1 "And the word of the Lord came unto 
Jo'nah the second time, saying, 

2 Arise, go unto Nin'e-veh, that great city, 
and preach unto it the preaching that I bid 
thee. 

3 So Jo'nah arose, and went unto Nin'e-veh, 
according to the word of the Lord. Now Nin'- 
e-veh was an exceeding great city of ^three 
days' journey. 

4 And Jo'nah began to enter into the city a 
Mays' journey, and °he cried, and said, Yet 
forty days, and 4 NIn'e-veh shall be overthrown. 

5 *; So the people of 6 Nin'e-veh believed 
God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sack- 
cloth, from the greatest of them even to the 
least of them. 

6 For word came unto the king of Nin'e-veh, 
and he arose from his throne, and he laid his 
robe from him, and covered him with sack- 
cloth, and sat in ashes. 

7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and 
published through Nin'e-veh by the decree of 
the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither 
man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: 
let them not feed, nor drink water: 

8 But let man and beast be covered with 
sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let 
them turn ( 'every one from his evil way, and 
from the violence that is in their hands. 

9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, 
and turn away from his fierce anger, that we 
perish not? 

10 11 And God saw their works, that they 
turned from their evil way; and God ^repented 
5 of the evil, that he had said that he would do 
unto them; and he did it not. 

CHAPTER 4. 

Jonah, repining at God's mercy, is reproved. 3. 120,000 



B. C, 862. 



1. In this ch. is recorded Jonah's 
second commission to Nineveh, the re- 
pentance of the people there, conse- 
quent forgiveness of them. 



2. About 60 miles around, and 
would allow 20 miles for a journey. 
Heathen writers have corroborated Jo- 
nah's statement by claiming the city 
to be in circuit 4S0 stadia, also that a 
day's journey was about 150 stadia. 
(Diorous Siculus. ) 

In Jonah 4:11. the number of chil- 
dren are numbered at j2J.OOO, which 
would give a population cf about 
I ' 0.000. The great walls were about 
100 ft. high and broad enough at the 
top to give roadway for three chariots 
abreast. There were over 1.5'" lofty 
towers along its course. 



3. Not an uninterrupted day's jour- 
ney, as the city was only about 18 
miles in length: but a day's journey 
including his stopping from time to 
time to proclaim his message to the 
gathering crowds around him. 



4. By thus being so definitely stat- 
ed the message was not a crying out 
against the sins of Nineveh." but an 
announcement of its ruin in 40 days. 
which number is often associated 
with humiliation, viz.. for 40 days 
Mcses. Elijah, and Christ fasted. 



5. When they so readily repented, 
the relations which they had formerly 
sustained to Jehovah were materially 
altered, hence the threatened judg- 
ment was not executed and it is said 
"God repented." 



Ch. 4, B. C. 862. 



1. In this ch. Jonah repines at the 
mercy God has extended to Nineveh 
and is reproved by the type of a 
gourd. 



2. Hot with grief or vexation, 
rather than the passion of anger. 



1 "But it ^displeased Jo'nah exceedingly, and 
he was "very angry. 

2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, 
I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, 
when I was yet -in my country? Therefore I 
fled before unto Tar'shish: for I knew that 
thou art a 6 gracious God, and merciful, slow 
to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest 
thee of the evil. 

3 Therefore °now, O Lord, take, I beseech 
thee, my life from me: for it is better for me 
to die than to live. 

4 r Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to 
be angry? 

5 So Jo'nah went out of the city, and sat 
on the east side of the city, and there made 
him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, 
till he might see what would become of the 
city. 

6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and 
made it to come up over Jo'nah, that it might 
be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from 
his grief. So Jo'nah was exceeding glad of 
the gourd. 

7 But God prepared a worm when the morn- 
ing rose the next day, and it smote the gourd 
that it withered. 

8 And it came to pass, when the sun did 
arise, that God prepared a vehement east 
wind; and the sun beat upon the head of J5'- 
nah, that he fainted, and wished in himself 
to die, and said, It is better for me to die than 
to live. 

9 And God said to Jo'nah, Doest thou well 
to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do 
well to be angry, even unto death. 

10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity 
on the gourd, for the which thou hast not 
laboured, neither madest it grow; which came 
up in a night, and perished in a night: 

11 And should not I d spare Nin'e-veh, that 
great city, wherein are more than sixscore 
thousand "'persons e that cannot discern between 
their right hand and their left hand; and also 
much f cattle? 



now in the presence of all his people. (Ps. 118:17, IS.) By him there- 
fore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the 
fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. (Heb. 13:15.) 

g. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I 
say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he 
cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. (Mat. 8:9.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing 
follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not 
spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not 
be afraid of him. (Dt. 18:22.) 

b. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, 
and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; 
and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. (Mat. 12:41.) 

c. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while 
he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man 
his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy 
upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Is. 55:6, 7.) 

d. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his 
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none 
shut up, or left. (Dt. 32:36.) And it repented the Lord that he had 
made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (Gen. 6:6.) 



Chapter 4. 

a. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is 
thine eye evil, because I am good? (Mat. 20:15.) 

b. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) 

c. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and 
eame and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself 
that he might die; and said. It is enough; now, Lord, take away my 
life; for I am not better than my fathers. (I Ks. 19:4.) 

d. Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleas- 
ure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way 
and live: turn ye, turn ve from your evil wavs: for w-hv will ve die, O 
house of Israel? (Ez. 33:11.) 

e. Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and 
your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and 
evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and thev 
shall possess it. (Dt. 1:39.) 

f. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments 
are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast. (Ps. 3';:';.1 
The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. 
(Ps. 145:9.) 



MICAH 



NOTE. — The author of Micah was a native of Moresheth in Judah, about 30 miles southwest from Jerusalem. He prophesied concerning Samaria and 
Jerusalem in the days of Ahaz, Jotham and Hezekiah of „udah. The book is written in three divisions. First, ehs. 1-3 contain prophecies concerning Samaria 
and Judah, threatening them with judgments on account of their great wickedness; second, chs. 4, 5 are chiefly concerning Messiah and Israel's prosperity under 
his reign; third, chs. 6, 7 are descriptive of true religion, rebuking the great wickedness of the people and at the same time encouraging them to look to Jehovah 
for pardon. The style is strong, sublime and vehement. Especially is it noted for its rapid transitions, elegant tropes and piquant plays upon words. A very 
successful use of the dialogue is made. The highest, purest spirit of piety and morality permeate the entire book. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 Micah sheweth the wrath of God against Ja- 
cob for idolatry. 10 He exhorteth to mourn- 
ing. 

1 'The «word of the Lord that came to 6 Mi'- 
cah the Mo'ras-thite in the days of Jo'tham, 
A'haz, and Hez-e-ki'ah, kings of Ju'dah, which 
he saw concerning Sa-ma'ri-a and Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

2 c Hear, all ye people; hearken, earth, 
and all that therein is: and let the Lord God 
'be witness against you, the Lord from his holy 
temple. 

3 For, behold, Hhe Lord cometh forth out 
of his place, and will come doivn, and tread 
upon the high places of- the earth. 

4 And the mountains shall be 3 molten under 
him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax 
before the fire, and as the waters that are 
poured down a steep place. 

5 For the transgression of Ja'cob is all this, 
and for the sins of the house of is'ra-el. What 
is the trangression of Ja'cob? is it not Sa-ma'- 
ri-a? and what are the high places of Ju'dah? 
are they not Je-ru'sa-lem? 

6 Therefore I .will make Sa-ma'ri-a fas an 
heap of the field, and as plantings of a vine- 
yard: and I will pour down the stones thereof 
into the valley, and I will discover the founda- 
tions thereof. 

7 And all the graven images thereof shall be 
beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall 
be burned with the fire, and all the idols there- 
of will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of 
the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to 
the hire of an harlot. 

8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go 
stripped and ^naked: I will make a wailing 
like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. 

9 For her wound is incurable; for ^it is 
come unto Ju'dah; he is come unto the gate of 
my people, even to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10 % Declare ye it notat r 'Gath, weep ye not 
at all: in the house of Aph'rah roll thyself in 
the dust. 

11 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of c Saph'- 
ir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of 
Za'a-nan came not forth in the mourning of 
Beth-e'zel ; he shall receive of you his standing. 

12 For the inhabitant of Ma'roth waited 
carefully for good : but evil came down from 
the Lord unto the gate of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13 O thou ''inhabitant of La'chish, bind the 
chariot to the swift beast: she is the begin- 



Ch. l. B. C. 750. 



1. Ch. 1 contains an account of 
the wrath of God directed against Sa- 
maria and Judah because of their 
great wickedness. Samaria is to be 
overthrown, which is a subject call- 
ing upon the people for mourning. 



2. That is, Jehovah is now giving 
you warning, and when the time 
comes you cannot say, I was not noti- 
fied. The Lord will be a witness 
against you. 



3. Imagery from the terrible 
earthquakes and volcanoes are used to 
describe the awful terror which ac- 
companies the coming of Jehovah in 
judgment. 



4. Of sandals and upper garments 
to the waist, the sign of mourning. 



5. Gratify not the exultant spirit 
of the foe who would rejoice at the 
calamity of the Hebrews. (II Sam. 1: 
20) — "Tell it not in Gatb. publish it 
not in the streets of Askelon. lest the 
daughters of the Philistines rejoice, 
lest the daughters of the uncircum- 
cised triumph." 



6. A little village amidst the hills 
of Judah. the name meaning beauty. 
Heretofore it has been the "beautiful 
village." as its name signifies; but 
now its shame shall be made naked, 
i. e., it shall be dismantled of its 
walls which were the garments of 
cities and its citizens carried into cap- 
tivity. 



Ch. 2. B, C. 730. 

1. In ch. 2 the prophet denounces 
the evil tendeueies of the day, re- 
counting the people's unwillingness to 
hear the truth, prophesies expulsion 
from their land, as the proof of their 
sin, yet promises restoration through 
the remnant, faithful Judah, and 
therefore Israel will finally be re- 
stored. 



2. Deliberately planned, designed. 

3. Their rule of conduct is, might 
makes right. 



4. The reason taken up from v. 3. 
■which is because of their crime or 
sins committed. 



5. When the prophets would tell 
the people of their wickedness, they 
were in the habit of saying to the 
prophets, "Cease, prophesy no longer." 
therefore Jehovah will take them at 
their word and leave them to their 
shame. 



ning of the sin to the daughter of Zi'on: for 
the transgressions of Is'ra-el were found in 
thee. 

14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to 
M6r'esh-eth-gath : the houses of Ach'zib shall 
be a lie to the kings of Is'ra-el. 

15 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O in- 
habitant of Ma-re'shah: he shall come unto 
A-dul'lam the glory of Is'ra-el. 

16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy 
delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the 
eagle; for they are gone into captivity from 
thee. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Against oppression. 7 A reproof of injus- 
tice and idolatry. 12 A promise of restor- 
ing Jacob. 

1 'Woe to them °that Mevise iniquity, and 
work evil upon their beds! when the morning 
is light, they practise it, because & it is in the 
power 3 of their hand. 

2 And they covet fields, and take them by 
violence; and houses, and take them away: so 
they oppress a man and his house, even a man 
and his heritage. 

3 Therefore thus saith the Lord; .Behold, 
against c this family do I devise an evil, from 
which ye shall not remove your necks; neither 
shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil. 

4 If In that day shall one take up a parable 
against you, and lament with a doleful lamen- 
tation, and say, We be utterly spoiled : he hath 
changed the portion of my people: how hath 
he removed it from me! turning away he hath 
divided our fields. 

5 Therefore 4 thou shalt have none that shall 
cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the 
Lord. 

6 ^Prophesy ye 5 not, say they to them that 
prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, 
that they shall not take shame. 

7 TO thou that art named the house of 
Ja'cob, is the spirit of the Lord straitened? 
are these his doings? do not my words do good 
to him that walketh uprightly? 

8 Even of late my people is risen up as an 
enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment 
from them that pass by securely as men averse 
from war. 

9 The "women of my people have ye cast 
out from their pleasant houses; from their 
children have ye taken away my glory for 
ever.

Ref. Micah. Chapter 1. 

a. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but 
holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Pet. 
1:21.) 

b. Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king 
of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall 
become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a 
forest. (Jer. 26:18.) 

c. Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify 
against thee: I am God, even thy God. (Ps. 50:7.) Hear, O heavens, 
and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and 
brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. (Is. 1:2.) 

d. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the in- 
habitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose 
her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. (Is. 26:21.) 

e. Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings 
Bhall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and 
bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not 
in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts. (Jer. 2:19.) 

f. Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient 
times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou 
shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps. (II Ks. 19:25.) 

g. Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib 
king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took 
them. (II Ks. 18:13.) Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up 
UDon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king 



of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his chan- 
nels, and go over all his banks. And he shall pass through Judah; he 
shall overflow and go over; he shall reach even to the neck; and the 
stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Im- 
manuel. (Is. 8:7, 8.) 

h. And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to 
Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou 
puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto 
Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver, and thirty tal- 
ents of gold. (II Ks. 18:14.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they 
lie in wait; their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth 
as a flaming fire. (Hos. 7:6.) . 

b. It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of 
your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that 
thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. (Gen. 31:29.) 

c. And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of 
them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places 
whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts. (Jer. 8:3.) 

d. This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not 
hear the law of the Lord: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the 
prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth 
things, prophesy deceits. (Is. 30:9, 10.) But ye gave the Nazarites wine 
to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. (Amos

troy you, even with a sore destruction. 

11 If a man walking in the spirit and false- 
hood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee 
of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be 
the prophet of this people. 

12 r I will surely assemble, Ja'cob, all of 
thee; I mill surely gather the f remnant of 
Is'ra-el; I will put them together as the sheep 
of Boz'rah, as the flock in the midst of their 
fold: they shall make great noise by reason of 
the multitude of men. 

13 The breaker is come tip before them: 
they have broken tip, and have passed through 
the gate, and are gone out by it: and their 
king shall pass before them, and the Lord on 
the head of them. 

CHAPTER 3. • 
1 The cruelty of the princes. 5 The falsehood 
of the prophets. 8 The security of them 
both. 

_1 "And I said, Hear, I pray you, heads of 
Ja'cob, and ye princes of the house of Is'ra-el; 
Is it not for you to know "judgment? 

2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who 
pluck off their skin from off them, and their 
flesh from off their bones; 

3 Who a also "eat the flesh of my people, and 
flay their skin from off them; and they break 
their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for 
the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 

4 Then 4 shall Hhey cry unto the Lord, but 
he will not hear them: he will even hide his 
face from them at that time, as they have be- 
haved themselves ill in their doings. 

5 r Thus saith the Lord concerning the 
prophets that make my people err, that c bite 
with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that 
putteth not into their mouths, they even pre- 
pare war against him. 

6 Therefore bright shall 5 be unto you, that 
ye shall not have a vision ; and it shall be dark 
unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the 
sun shall go down*over the prophets, and the 
day shall be dark over them. 

7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the 
rliviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover 
their lips; for there is no answer of God. 

8 TBut truly I am full of power by the 
r spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of 
might, to declare unto Ja'cob his transgression, 
and to Is'ra-el his sin. 

9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the 
house of Ja'cob, and princes of the house of 
Is'ra-el, that abhor judgment, and pervert all 
equity. 

10 They build up Zi'on with blood, and Je- 
ru'sa-lem with iniquity.

''plowed as a field, 'and Je-ru'sa-lem shall be- 
come heaps, and the mountain of the house as 
the high places of the forest. 

CHAPTER 4. 

1 The glory, 8 kingdom, 11 and victory of the 

church. 

1 l But "in the last days it shall come to pass, 
that the mountain of the house of the Lord 
shall be established in the top of the moun- 
tains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; 
and people shall flow unto it. 

2 And many nations shall come, and say, 
Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the 
Lord, and to the house of the God of Ja'cob; 
and he Hvill teach xis of his ways, and we will 
walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth 
of Zi'on, and the word of the Lord from Je- 
ru'sa-lem. 

3 * And he shall judge among many people, 
and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they 
shall beat their swords into c plowshares, arid 
their spears into prunivghooks: nation shall 
not lift up a sword against nation, neither 
€ shall they learn war any more. 

4 But they shall sit every man under his 
vine and under his fig tree; and none shall 
make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord 
of hosts hath spoken it. 

5 For e all 'people will walk every one in the 
name of his god, and we will walk in the name 
of the Lord our God for ever and ever. 

6 In that day, saith the Lord, twill I as- 
semble her that halteth, sand I will gather her 
that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; 

7 And I will make her that halted a rem- 
nant, and her that was cast far off a strong 
nation: and the Lord h shall reign over them in 
mount Zi'on from henceforth, even for ever. 

8 If And thou, O toiver of the flock, the 
strong hold of the daughter of Zi'on, unto thee 
shall it come, even the first dominion; the king- 
dom shall come to the daughter of Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there 
no .king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? 
for pangs have taken thee as a woman in 
travail. 

10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, 
daughter of Zi'on, like a woman in travail : for 
now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and 
thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go 
even to Bab'y-lon; there shalt thou be deliv- 



two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and . took also 
a war much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. (II Chr. 
2S:S.) 

f. Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee; and I will 
save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get 
them praise and fame in every land where they have heen nut to shame. 
fZeph. 3:190 

Chapter 3. 

a. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my 
people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. (Ps. 14:4.) 

b. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall 
seek me early, but they shall not find me. (Prov. 1:28.-) 

c. Bew-are of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, 
but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mat. 7:15.) 

d. Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: 
for I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that 
I am the Lord. (Ez. 13:23.) 

e. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency 
of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God (1). 
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of 
man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. (I 
Cor. 2:1. S.) 

f. Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one 
loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, 
neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. (Is. 1:23.) 

g. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them 
every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the 
priest every one dealeth falsely. (Jer. 0:13.) Whose mouths must be 
stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which thev ought 
not, for filthy lucre's sake. (Tit. 1:11.) 

h. Mlcah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of 



Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Zion shall be plowed like a 
field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house 
as the high places of a forest. (Jer. 26:18.) 

i. O God. the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy 
temple have they, defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. (Ps. 79:1.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of 
the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and 
shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. (Is. 
2:2.) 

b. It is written in the Prophets, And they shall be all taught of 
Gcd. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the 
Father, cometh unto me. (Jno. 6:45.) 

c. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into 
spears: let the weak say, I am strong. (Joel 3:10.) 

d. In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace 
so long as the moon endureth. (Ps. 72:7.1 

e. Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but 
my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 
(Jer. 2:11.) 

f. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was 
driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strength- 
en that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will 
feed them with judgment. (Ez. 34J6.) 

g. The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the 
outcasts of Israel. (Ps. 147:2.) 

h. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when 
the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and be- 
fore his ancients gloriously. (Is. 24:23.) And there was given him 
dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and 
languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion,

ered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from 
the hand of thine enemies. 

11 11 Now also many nations are gathered 
against thee, that say, Let her be denied, and 
let our eye look upon Zl'on. 

12 But they know not the thoughts of the 
Lord, neither understand they his counsel: 
for he shall gather them as the sheaves into 
the floor. 

13 Arise and thresh, daughter of Zi'on: 
for I will make thine horn iron, and I will 
make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in 
pieces many people: and I will consecrate their 
gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto 
the Lord of the whole earth. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 Birth of Christ. 4 His kingdom. 8 His 

conquest. 

1 J Now gather thyself in troops, O daugh- 
ter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: 
they shall smite the judge of Is'ra-el with a 
rod upon the cheek. 

2 But thou, "Beth' -le-hem Eph'rd-tah, though 
thou be little among the thousands of Ju'dah, 
yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me 
that is to be h ruler in Is'ra-el; whose goings 
c forth have been from of old, from everlasting. 

3 Therefore will he give them up, until the 
time that she which travaileth hath brought 
forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall 
return unto the children of Is'ra-el. 

4 1f And he shall stand and feed in the 
strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the 
name of the Lord his God; and they shall 
abide: for now d shall he be great unto the ends 
of the earth. 

5 And this man e shall be the peace, when 
the As-syr'I-an shall come into our land: and 
when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall 
we raise against him seven shepherds, and 
eight principal men. 

6 And they shall waste the land of As-syr'- 
l-a with the sword, and the land of 2 NIm'rod 
in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver 
us from the As-syr'i-an, when he cometh into 
our land, and when he treadeth within our 
borders. 

7 And the remnant of Ja'cob shall be in the 
midst of many ^people as a dew from the 
Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that 
tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons 
of men. 

8 f And the remnant of Ja'cob shall be 
among the Gen'tile? in the midst of many peo- 
ple as a lion among the beasts of the forest, 
as a young lion among the flocks of sheep : who, 
if he go through, both treadeth down, and tear- 
eth in pieces, and none can deliver.

the calamities preceding the coming 
of Christ, his birth, and the conquest 
of Israel's foes.

Ch. 6. B. C. 710. 



1. In ch. 6 the prophet appeals to 
all creation .to produce evidence, if 
they can, of a single case wherein 
the acts of Jehovah have not been 
merciful as well as Just. He tells the 
people that Jehovah requires of them 
real piety, justice, and purity of 
heart rather than sacrifice. 



2. That is. on the contrary from 
things harsh, Jehovah showed them 
every kindness from their earliest na- 
tional existence. 



9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine 
adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be 
cut off. 

10 And "it shall come to pass in that day, 
saith the Lord, that I will cut off thy horses 
out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy 
chariots : 

11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, 
and throw down all thy strong holds: 

12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of 
thine hand; and thou shalt have no more sooth- 
sayers : 

13 h Thy graven images also will I cut off, 
and thy standing images out of the midst of 
thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work 
of thine hands. 

14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of 
the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 

15 And I will execute vengeance in anger 
and fury upon the heathen, such as they have 
not heard. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 God's controversy for unkindness, 6 for ig- 
norance, 10 for injustice, 16 and for idola- 
try. 

1 'Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, 
contend thou before the mountains, and let 
the hills hear thy voice. 

2 Hear ye, O mountains, a the Lord's con- 
troversy, and ye strong foundations of the 
earth : for the Lord hath a controversy with 
his people, and he will plead with is'ra-el. 

3 my people, 6 what have I done unto thee? 
and wherein have I wearied thee? testify 
against me. 

4 2 For_I have brought thee up out of the 
land of E'gypt, and redeemed thee out of the 
house of servants; and I sent before thee 
Md'sjesj, Aar'on, and Mir'i-am. 

5 my people, remember now what Ba'lak 
c king of Mo'ab consulted, and what Balaam 
the son of Be'or answered him from Shit'tim 
unto Gil'gal; that ye may know the righteous- 
ness of the Lord. 

6 H Wherewith d shall I come before the Lord, 
and bow myself before the high God? shall I 
come before him with burnt offerings, with 
calves of a year old? 

7 Will c the Lord be pleased with thousands 
of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of 
oil? ''shall I give my firstborn for my trans- 
gression, the fruit of my body for the sin of 
my soul? 

8 He hath shewed thee, man, what is good; 
and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to 
do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk 
humbly with thy God? 

9 The Lord's voice crieth unto the city, and 



which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be 
destroyed. (Dan. 7:14.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least 
among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that 
shall rule my people Israel. (Mat. 2:6.) - 

b. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) 

c. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst 
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, 
thou art God. (Ps. 90:2.) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word 
was with God, and the Word was God. (Jno. 1:1.) 

d. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river 
unto the ends of the earth. (Ps. 72:8.) He shall be great, and shall be 
called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him 
the throne of his father David. (Luke 1:32.) 

e. For untc us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace.- (Is. 9:6.) Glory to God in the highest, and on earth 
peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:14.) For he is our peace, who 
hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition 
between us. (Eph. 2:14.) 

f. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beau- 
ties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of 
thy youth. (Ps. 110:3.) 

g. And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from 
Jerusalem, and the battle-bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace 
unto the heathen; and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and 
from the river even to the ends of the earth. (Zech. 9:10.) 



h. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, 
that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall 
no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the 
unclean spirit to pass out of the land. (Zech. 13:2.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish 
Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense 
him. (Hos. 12:2.) 

b. Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in 
me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and 
are become vain? (Jer. 2:5.) 

c. He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor, to 
Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, 
to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: 
behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against 
me. (Num. 22:5.) 

d. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there 
them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a 
stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacriflecd unto 
idols, and to commit fornication. (Rev. 2:14.) 

e. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy 
folds. (Ps. 50:9.) For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; 
thou delightest not in burnt offering. (Ps. 51:16.) To what purpose is 
the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of 
the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight 
not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats. (Is. 1:11.) 

f. But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made 
his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the 
heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.

7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I

8 If Rejoice c not against me, mine enemy : 
when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in dark-

9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord,

and the mercy to A 'bra-ham, which thou hast 
sworn unto our fathers A 'from the days of old. 



g. Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a 
small. (Dt. 25:13.) A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a 
just weight is his delight. (Prov. 11:1.) Divers weights, and divers 
measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord. (Prov. 20:10.) 

h. But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse 
than all that were before him. For he walked in all the way of Jero- 
boam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, 
to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities. (I Ks. 
16:25, 26.) 

i. We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath 
covered our faces; for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the 
Lord's house. (Jer. 51:51.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers 
as the first-ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal- 
peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations 
were according as they loved. ' (Hos. 9:10.) 

b. Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one 
loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, 
neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. (Is. 1:23.) 

c. For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but 
the wicked shall fall into mischief. Rejoice not when thine enemy 
falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth. (Prov. 
24:16, 17.) Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in 
the land of Uz: the cup also shall pass through unto thee; thou shalt 
be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. (Lam. 4:21.) 

d. But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith 



the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall

Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sins of 
Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I 
reserve. (Jer. 50:20.) 

i. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the 
body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve

NAHUM 



NOTE. — The name Nahum means consolation and vengeance; symbolizing the consolation in this book for Jehovah's people and the vengeance which Is 
coming upon his enemies. In the tirst eh. the two themes are alternate; but, as the prophet advances, vengeance on the Assyrian foe especially predominates. 
The object of the prophet was to inspire his countrymen, the Jews, with the assurance that no matter how alarming their position might become, and how 
powerful the Assyrians might grow, the latter would fail and their capital, Nineveh, should fall. 



CHAPTER 1. 

The majesty of God in good)iess to his people, 

and severity against his enemies. 

1 'The burden "of Nin'e-veh. The book of 
the vision of Na'hum the El'kosh-ite. 

2 God is = jealous, and "the Lord 4 revengeth; 
the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord 
will take Vengeance on his adversaries, and he 
reserveth wrath for his enemies. 

3 The Lord is *slow to "anger, and great in 
power, and will not at all T acquit the wicked: 
the c Lord "hath his way in the whirlwind 
and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust 
of his feet. 

4 He ^rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, 
and drieth up all the rivers: Ba'shan ianguish- 
eth, and Car'mel, and the flower of Leb'a-non 
ianguisheth. 

5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills 
melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, 
yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. 

6 Who can stand before his indignation? and 
who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? 
his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks 
are throivn down by him. 

7 The Lord is gcod, a strong hold in the day 
of trouble; and r he knoweth them that trust in 
him. 

8 But with an "overrunning fflood he will 
make an utter end of the place thereof, and 
darkness shall pursue his enemies. 

9 What do ye imagine against the Lord? he 
will make an utter end: affliction shall not 
"'rise up the second time. 

10 For while they be folden together as 
thorns, and while - a they are drunken as drunk- 
ards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully 
dry. 

11 There is one come out of thee, that imag- 
ineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsel- 
lor. 

12 Thus saith the Lord; Though they be 
quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they 
be cut down, when he shall pass through. 
Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee 
no more. 

13 For now will I break his yoke from off 
thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. 

14 And the Lord hath given a commandment 
concerning thee, that no more of thy name be 
sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut 
off the graven image and the molten image: I 
will make thy grave; for thou art vile. 



Ch. 1. B. C. 713. 

1. In this ch. the prophet seeks to 
impress upon the people that Jehovah 
is a jealous God. protecting his own 
people, when true to him, against the 
merciless invasions of the proud 
heath. 'ii. 



2. The prophetic doom which is 
here pronounced by Nahuru, 150 years 
after Jonah's prophecy. 



3. As human beings can be jealous 
only of those they love, likewise God 
can be jealous of men because he 
loves them. 



4. That is. 'turn back upon. The 
effects of their own life. 



5. Will cause them to reap the 
whirlwind which they have sown. 



6. He gives man every opportunity 
to repent and turn from his sins be- 
fore being cut off. 



Will not treat as innocent. 



S. Once famed for its rich vegeta- 
tion, now Ianguisheth in the drouth. 



9. Might, which overruns every 
barrier like a flood; frequently ap- 
plied to great calamities. 

in. That is. no occasion for a sec- 
ond punishment, as the first shall 
work the desired end. 



Ch. 2. B. C. 713. 



1. In ch. 2. the great Nineveh is 
brought low. according to the sure 
word of Jehovah. 



2. The Medo-Babylonian army is 
here meant. 

3. That is. the time for Nineveh's 
overthrow is here; it has wrought its 
work of chastisement upon Judah and 
Israel and is now ready for the fire. 

4. The Medo-Babylonian generals. 



5. The ancients colored their 
shields red. in order that the enemy 
could not see the profusion of blood in 
case they were wounded. 

6. The name of the queen of Nine- 
veh; some scholars claiming the per- 
sonified name of Nineveh. 



15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of 
him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth 
peace! Ju'dah, keep thy solemn feasts, per- 
form thy vows: for the wicked shall no more 
pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. 

CHAPTER 2. 
The victorious armies of God against Nineveh. 

1 "He that 2 dasheth in pieces is come up be- 
fore thy face: keep the munition, watch the 
way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power 
mightily. 

2 For the Lord hath 3 turned away the ex- 
cellency of Ja'cob, as the. excellency of Is'ra-el: 
for the emptiers have a emptied them out, and 
marred their vine branches. 

3 The shield of his mighty 4 men is made 
5 red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the char- 
iots shall be with naming torches in the day 
of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be 
terribly shaken. 

4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they 
shall justle one against another in the broad 
ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall 
run like the lightnings. 

5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall 
stumble in their walk; they shall make haste 
to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be 
prepared. 

6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, 
and the palace shall be dissolved. 

7 And "Huz'zab shall be led away captive, 
she shall be brought up, and her maids shall 
lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering 
upon their breasts. 

8 But Nin'e-veh is of old like a pool of 
water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, 
shall they cry; but none shall look back. 

9 Take Ve the spoil of silver, take the spoil 
of gold: for there is none end of the store and 
glory out of all the pleasant furniture. 

10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and 
the c heart melteth, and the knees smite to- 
gether, and much pain is in all loins, and the 
faces of them all gather blackness. 

11 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and 
the feedingplace of the young lions, where the 
lion, even the old lion, walked, and the d lion's 
whelp, and none made them afraid? 

12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for 
his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and 
filled his holes with prey, and his dens with 
ravin. 

13 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord 
of hosts, and I will burn her "chariots in the

a. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and 
moved him to jealousy with their graven images. (Ps. 78:58.) O Lord 
God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance be- 
longeth, show thyself. (Ps. 94:1.) 

b. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The 
Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in good- 
ness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and 
transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty. (Ex. 
34:6, 7.) The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plen- 
teous in mercy. (Ps. 103:S.) 

c. And it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there 
were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and 
the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was 
in the camp trembled. (Ex. 19:16.) 

d. And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the 
feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the 
\vater, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) 
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an 
heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those 
that came down toward tne sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, 
and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho. 
(Josh. 3:15, 16.) 

e. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of 
the ungodly shall perish. (Ps. 1:6.) I am the good shepherd, and know 
my sheep, and am known of mine. (Jno. 10:14.) Nevertheless the foun- 
dation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them 



that are his, And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart 
from iniquity. (II Tim. 2:19.) 

f. Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that 
dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall 
be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. (Amos 8:8.) 

g. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine- 
cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send 
thee, to drink it. And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, 
because of the sword that I will send among them. (Jer. 25:15, 16.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they 
which pass by the way do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth 
waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. (Ps. 80:12, 13.) 

b. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest 
treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou 
shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled: and when thou shalt make 
an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 
(Is. 33:1.) Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, 
and her mighty men are taken; every one of their bows is broken: for 
the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite. (Jer. 51:56.) 

c. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall 
melt. (Is. 13:7.) 

d. Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young 
lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry 
it away safe, and none shall deliver it. (Is. 5:29.) 

e. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth: he breaketh 
the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the 
fire. (Ps. 46:9.)

smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young 
lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the 
earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall

CHAPTER 3. 

The miserable ruin of Nineveh. 

1 a Woe to the 2 bloody "city! it is all full of 
lies and robbery; the prey Meparteth not; 

2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the 
rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing 
horses, and of the jumping chariots. 

3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright 
sword and the glittering spear: and there is a 
multitude of slain, and a great number of car- 
cases; and there is none end of their corpses; 
they stumble upon their corpses: 

4 Because of the 4 multitude of the whore- 
doms of the wellfavoured harlot, the 6 mistress 
of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her 
whoredoms, and families through her witch- 
crafts. 

5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord 
of hosts; and C I will discover thy skirts upon 
thy face, and I will shew the nations thy 
nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. 

6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, 
and make thee vile, and will set thee as a 
gazingstock. 

7 And it shall come to pass, that all they 
that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and 
say, Nin'e-veh is laid waste: who will bemoan 
her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee? 

8 Art thou better than ^populous No, that 
was situate among the rivers, that had the 
waters round about it, whose rampart was the 
sea, and her wall was from the sea? 

9 E-thi-5'pi-a and E'gypt were her strength, 
and it was infinite; Put and Lu'bim were thy 
helpers. 



Ch. 3. B. C. 713. 



1. In ch. 3 the prophet shows the 
cause of Nineveh's doom to be her 
tyranny and cruelty. 



2. Blood for blood, her own blood 
for the blood of others she has shed. 



3. That is, Nineveh never ceases 
to prey upon others. 



4. The assigned reason for Nine- 
veh's destruction. 



5. The report. 



6. Implying the great extent and 
fearful enormity of Nineveh's guilt, 
which will not allow of any hope of 
restoration. 



10 Yet was she carried away, she went into 
captivity: her young children also were dashed 
in pieces at the top of all the streets: and 
'they cast lots for her honourable men, and all 
her great men were bound in chains. 

11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt 
be hid, thou also shall seek strength because 
of the enemy. 

12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig 
trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, 
they shall even "fall into the mouth of the 
eater. 

13 Behold, fthy people in the midst of thee 
are women: the gates of thy land shall be set 
wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall 
devour thy bars. 

14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify 
thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the 
mortar, make strong the brickkiln. 

15 There shall the fire devour thee; the 
sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up 
like the cankerworm: make thyself many as 
the ^cankerworm, make thyself many as the 
locusts. 

16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above 
the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, 
and fleeth away. 

17 Thy ''crowned are as the locusts, and 
thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which 
camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when 
the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place 
is not known where they are. 

18 Thy shepherds slumber, king of ^s- 
syr'i-a : thy nobles shall dwell in the dust : thy 
people ^'is scattered upon the mountains, and 
no man gathereth them. 

19 There is no healing of thy bruise; thy 
wound is grievous: all A "that hear the 5 bruit of 
thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon 
whom °hath not thy wickedness passed con- 
tinually? 



Chapter 3. 

a. Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the 
bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations. (Ez. 22:2.) 
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by 
iniquity! (Hab. 2:12.) 

b. But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, 
the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their 
perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance 
of thine enchantments. (Is. 47:9.) 

c. Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make 
bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness 
shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, 
and I will not meet thee as a man. (Is. 47:2, 3.) 

d. The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel saith; Behold, I will punish 
the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their 
kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him. (Jer. 46:25.) 

e. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for 
an harlot, and sold a girl for wine; that they might drink. (Joel 3:3.) 
In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the 
strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into 
his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 
(Ob. 11.) • 

f. The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have 



remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: 
they have burned her dwelling places, her bars are broken. (Jer. 51:30.) 

g. That which the palmer-worm hath left hath the locust eaten; and 
that which the locust hath left hath the canker-worm eaten; and that 
which the canker-worm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten. (Joel 1:4.) 

h. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared 
unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and 
their faces were as the faces of men. (Rev. 9:7.) 

i. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, 
I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the 
king of Assyria. (Jer. 50:18.) Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in 
Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an 
high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. (Ez. 31:3.) 

j. And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep 
that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let 
them return every man to his house in peace. (I Ks. 22:17.) 

k. All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag 
their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that 
men call The perfection of beauty. The joy of the whole earth? (Lam. 
2:15.) This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her 
heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she become a desola- 
tion, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her 
shall hiss, and wag his hand. (Zeph. 2:15.) 



HABAKKUK 



NOTE. — There is nothing known of the writer of Habakkuk outside of this book, as his name occurs nowhere in Jewish history. The time of his writing 
is supposed to be about 605 B. C, as it was the fifth year of the reign of Jehoiakim. The book is divided into two parts, a prophecy and a prayer. The prophecy 
is in the form of a dialogue, represented as taking place between Jehovah and the prophet, in which the wickedness of men and the holiness of Jehovah are dis- 
cussed (chs. 1, 2), while the prayer is one of the sublimest descriptions in literature of Jehovah's power exhibited in the Exodus of the Israelites. For sub- 
limity and beauty it is not surpassed in the Old Testament. The placing of Habakkuk immediately following Nahum is very appropriate, as Nahum treats of 
the judgments of Jehovah on Assyria for its wickedness against Israel, and Habakkuk treats of the judgments inflicted upon the Chaldeans for the same 
reason. " 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Unto Habakkuk, complaining of the iniquity 
of the land, 5 is shewed the fearful venge- 
ance by the Chaldeans. 12 He complaineth 
that vengeance should be executed by them 
who are far worse. 

1 *The burden Vhich Ha-bak'kuk the proph- 
et did see. 

2 Lord, how long "shall I cry, and thou 
wilt not hear ! even cry out unto thee of vio- 
lence, and thou wilt not save! 

3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause 
me to behold grievance? for spoiling and vio- 
lence are before me: and there are that raise 
up strife and contention. 

4 3 Therefore the 6 law is slacked, and judg- 
ment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth 
compass about the righteous; therefore wrong 
judgment proceedeth. 

5 f Behold ye among the heathen, and re- 
gard, and wonder marvellously: for I will 
work a work in your days, which ye will not 
believe, though it be told you. 

6 For, lo, I raise up the Chal-de'an§, that 
bitter and hasty nation, which shall march 
through the breadth of the land, to possess the 
dwellingplaces that are not their's. 

7 They are terrible and dreadful : their judg- 
ment and their dignity shall proceed of them- 
selves. 

8 Their horses c also are swifter than the 
leopards, and are more fierce than the evening 
wolves: and their horsemen shall spread them- 
selves, and their horsemen shall come from 
far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth 
to eat. 

9 They a shall come all for violence: their 
faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they 
shall gather the captivity as the sand. 

10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the 
princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall 
deride every strong hold; for they shall heap 
dust, and take it. 

11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall 
pass over, and offend, imputing this his power 
unto his god. 

12 H Art thou not from ^everlasting, Lord 
my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. 
Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; 
and, mighty God, thou hast established them 
for correction. 

13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold 
evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore 
lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, 



Ch. 1. B. C. 626. 



1. In ch. 1 the prophet complains 
to Jehovah of the prevalence of in- 
justice, and Jehovah calls his atten- 
tion to the divine purpose of using the 
Chaldean hordes as his avengers; 
while the prophet declares that they 
are worse than those upon whom ven- 
geance is to be taken. 



2. The predicted sentence of doom. 



3. Because thou hast suffered such 
crimes to exist unpunished. 



4. Justice. 



Ch. 2. B. C. 626. 



1. In ch. 2 the prophet is waiting 
for an answer to the complaints that 
he has made. He is told by Jehovah 
to wait in faith, that the Chaldeans 
shall be punished for their cruel ra- 
pacity. 



2. Assigning the reason why 
prophecy should be written, i. e., 
fulfillment is in the future. 



3. That is, the believing Jew will 
not despair, but will wait for the de- 
layed promises of Jehovah to be ful- 
filled. 



and boldest thy tongue when the wicked de- 
voureth the man that is more righteous 
than he? 

14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, 
as the creeping things, that have no ruler over 
them? 

15 They take up all of them with the angle, 
they catch them in their net, and gather 
them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and 
are glad. 

16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, 
and burn incense unto their drag; because by 
them their portion is fat, and their meat plen- 
teous. 

17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and 
not spare continually to slay the nations? 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 Unto Habakkuk, waiting for an answer, is 
shewed that he must wait by faith. 5 The 
judgment upon the Chaldeans for unsatiable- 
ness. 

1 J I will stand upon "my watch, and set me 
upon the tower, and will watch to see what he 
will say unto me, and what I shall answer 
when I am reproved. 

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, 
6 Write the vision, and make it plain upon ta- 
bles, that he may run that readeth it. 

3 For 2 the c vision is yet for an appointed 
time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: 
though it tarry, wait for it; because it will 
surely come, it will not tarry. 

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not 
upright in him: but the d just shall 3 live by his 
faith. 

5 IT Yea also, because he transgresseth by 
wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at 
home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is 
as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gather- 
eth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto 
him all people: 

6 Shall not all these take up a parable 
against him, and a taunting proverb against 
him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that 
e which is not his! how long? and to him that 
ladeth himself with thick clay! 

7 Shall they not ''rise up suddenly that shall 
bite thee, and awake that shall, vex thee, and 
thou shalt be for booties unto them? 

8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, 
all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; 
because of men's blood, and for the violence 
of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell 
therein. 



Ref. Habakkuk. Chapter 1. 

a. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not 
thy law. (Ps. 119:136.) For that righteous man dwelling among them, 
in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with 
their unlawful deeds. (II Pet. 2:8.) 

b. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge 
uprightly, ye sons of men? Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye 
weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. (Ps. 58:1, 2.) 

c. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the 
end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue 
thou shalt not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall 
not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young. (Dt. 
28:49, 50.) Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of 
Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a 
nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what 
they say. (Jer. 5:15.) 

d. The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the 
Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy 
land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. 
(Jer. 4:7.) 

e. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the ever- 
lasting arms. (Dt. 33:27.) Before the mountains were brought forth, 
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from ever- 
lasting to everlasting, thou art God. (Ps. 90:2.) Hast thou not known, 
hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator 
of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no 
searching of his understanding. (Is. 40:28.) 



Chapter 2. 

a. And he cried, A lion; My lord, I stand continually upon the 
watch-tower in the day-time, and I am set in my ward whole nights. (Is 
21:8.) 

b. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for 
our learning; That we through patience and comfort of the scriptures 
might have hope. (Rom. 15:4.) 

c. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy 
people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. (Dan. 
10:14.) 

d. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that 
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth 
on him. (Jno. 3:36.) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed 
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 
1:17.) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God. it 
is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (Gal. 3:11.) Now the just 
shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no 
pleasure in him. (Heb. 10:38.) 

e. Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath 
crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me 
up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath 
cast me out. (Jer. 51:34.) 

f. Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand 
I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins 
of kings, to open before him the two-leaved gates; and the gates shall 
not be shut; I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight;

9 11 Woe to him that ^coveteth an evil cov- 
etousness to his house, that he may set his 
nest on high, that he may be delivered from 
the power of evil! 

10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house 
by cutting off many people, and hast sinned 
against 4 thy soul. 

11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, 
and the beam 5 out of the timber shall an- 
swer it. 

12 IfWoe to him that buildeth 6 a town with 
blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! 

13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that 
the people shall labour in Hhe very fire, and 
the people shall weary themselves for very 
vanity? 

14 For the earth shall -be filled i with the 
knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the 
ivaters cover the sea. 

15 If Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour 
drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and mak- 
est him drunken also, that thou mayest look 
on their nakedness! 

16 Thou art filled ^'with shame for glory: 
drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be un- 
covered: the cup of the Lord's right hand 
shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spew- 
ing shall be on thy glory. 

17 For the violence 7t "of Leb'a-non shall cover 
thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them

lence of the land, of the city, and of all that 
dwell therein.

19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, 
Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall 
teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and 
silver, and there is no breath at all in the 
midst of it. 

20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let 
all the earth keep silence before him. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 Habakkuk in his prayer trembleth at God's 
majesty. 17 The confidence of his faith. 

1 A *prayer of Ha-bak'kuk the prophet upon 
Shi-gi'o-noth. 

2 O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was 
afraid: O Lord, 2 revive thy work in the midst 
of the years, in the midst of the years make 
known; in wrath remember mercy. 

3 God came from Te'man, and the Holy One 
from mount Pa'ran. 3 Se'lah. His glory cov- 
ered the heavens, and the earth was full of 
his praise. 

4 And his brightness was as the light; he

thine own ruin. 



5. That is, the very stones of 
thy palace, which were built in cruel- 
ty, shall cry out against thee. (Luke 
19:40) — "And he answered and said 
unto them, I tell you that, if these 
should hold their peace, the stones 
would immediately cry out." 



6. Alluding to Babylon. 



7. • Alluding to the powerlessness of 
the idols of Babylon to save them 
from the impending doom. 



Ch. 3. B. C. 626. 



1. In this ch. is recorded Habak- 
kuk's great prayer and Jehovah's rev- 
elation of himself at Sinai, as a 
pledge of his interposing again in the 
behalf of Israel against all her foes. 
And as a result the prophets' confi- 
dence is greatly increased amidst 
their calamities. 



2. That is, perfect the work of the 
deliverance of thy people and do not 
let thy promise remain longer unful- 
filled."

end of a verse, except in four in- 
stances, viz., here in v. and in Ps.

ing compassion, hence trembled. 



had horns coming out of his hand: and there 
was the hiding of his power. 

5 Before him went the pestilence, and burn- 
ing coals went forth at his feet. 

6 He stood, and "measured the earth : he be- 
held, and drove asunder the nations; and the 
everlasting mountains were scattered, the per- 
petual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting. 

7 I saw the .tents of Cu'shan in affliction: 
and the curtains of the land of Mid'i-an did 
tremble. 

8 Was the s Lord displeased against the riv- 
ers? was thine anger against the rivers? was 
thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride 
upon thine horses and thy chariots of salva- 
tion? 

9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according 
to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Se'- 
lah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. 

10 The mountains saw thee, and they trem- 
bled: the overflowing of the water passed by: 
the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his 
hands on high. 

11 The sun and moon stood still in their 
habitation: at the light of thine arrows they 
went, and at the shining of thy glittering 
spear. 

12 Thou didst march through the land in in- 
dignation, thou didst thresh the "heathen in 
anger. 

13 Thou wentest forth d for the salvation of 
thy people, even for salvation with thine 
anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the 
house of the wicked, e by discovering the foun- 
dation unto the neck. Se'lah. 

14 Thou didst strike through with his staves 
the head of his villages: they came out as a 
whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was 
as to devour the poor secretly. 

15 Thou didst walk through the sea with 
thine horses, through the heap of great waters. 

16 When I heard my belly 4 trembled; my 
lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered 
into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that 
I might rest in the day of trouble: when he 
cometh up unto the people, he will invade them 
with his troops. 

17 If Although ''the fig tree shall not blos- 
som, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the 
labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields 
shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off 
from the fold, and there shall be no herd in 
the stalls: 

18 Yet #1 will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy 
in the God of my salvation. 

19 The Lord God is ? 'my strength, and he 
will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will 
make me to walk upon mine high places. To 
the chief singer on my stringed instruments. 



I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of 
iron. (Is. 45:1, 2.) 

g. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for 
ever, and their dwelling places to all generations: they call their lands 
after their own names. (Ps. 49:11.) Your gold and silver is cankered; 
and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your 
flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last 
days. (Js. 5:3.) 

h. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about 
■with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye 
have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in 
sorrow. (Is. 50:11.) 

i. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain : for the 
earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover 
the sea. (Is. 11:9.) That men may know that thou, whose name alone 
is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth. (Ps. 83:18.) 

j. Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the hab- 
itation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every 
-unclean and hateful bird. (Rev. 18:2.) 

k. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the 
children of Judah were oppressed together; and all that took them cap- 
tives held them fast; they refused to let them go. Their Redeemer is 
strong; The Lord of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their 
cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants 
of Babylon. (Jer. 50:33, 34.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, 
when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people 
according to the number of the children of Israel. (Dt. 32:8.) 

b. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and 
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children 



of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground:- and the 
waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 
(Ex. 14:21, 22.) 

c. Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn 
iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces 
many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their 
substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. (Mic. 4:13.) 

d. And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, 
and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, 
as the "breach of waters. (II Sam. 5:20.) 

e. And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were 
in the going down to Bethhoron, that the Lord cast down great stones 
from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more 
which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew 
with the sword. (Josh. 10:11.) The Lord also thundered in the heavens, 
and the Highest gave his voice; hailstones and coals of fire. Yea, he 
sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and 
discomfited them. (Ps. 18:13, 14.) 

f. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are per- 
plexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but 
not destroyed. (II Cor. 4:8, 9.) 

g. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will main- 
tain mine own ways before him. (Job 13:15.) I will greatly rejoice in 
the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me 
with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of 
righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and 
as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. (Is. 61:10.) 

h. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the 
Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid. (Ps. 27:1.) 
The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 
(Ps. 28:8.) For thou art my strength. (Ps. 31:4.) My God, my strength, 
in whom I will trust. (Ps, 18:2.) 



ZEPHANIAH 



NOTE. — This book was written during the days of Josiah. king of Judah, who reigned between 641 and 610 B.C. It is directed against Judah and Jeru- 
salem for their idolatry and attendant wickedness. Severe judgments are also predicted against the Philistines, Ethiopians, Ammonites, Moabites, and Assyria 
:.nd Nineveh. The book is especially characterized by its prediction of the conversion of the heathen nation. 



CHAPTER 1. 

God's severe judgment against Judah for 

divers sins. 

1 The word of the Lord which came unto 
Zeph-a-ni'ah the son of Cu'shl, the son of 
Ged-a-li'ah, the son of Am-a-ri'ah, the son of 
Hiz-ki'ah, in the days of Jo-sl'ah the son of 
A'mon, king of Ju'dah. 

2 I will utterly consume all things from off 
the land, saith the Lord. 

3 I will consume man and beast; I will con- 
sume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes 
of the sea, and the 'stumblingblocks "with the 
wicked; and I will cut off man from off the 
land, saith the Lord. 

4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon 
Ju'dah, and upon all the inhabitants of 2 Je-ru'- 
sa-lem; and I will cut off the remnant of 
b Ba'al from this place, and the name of the 
c Chem'a-rim§ with the priests; 

5 And them that worship the host of heaven 
upon the house tops; and them that worship 
and that swear by the Lord, and that swear 
d by Mal'cham; 

6 And them that are turned back from the 
Lord; and those that have not sought the 
Lord, nor enquired for him. 

7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord 
God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for 
the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath 
bid his guests. 

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of 
the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the 
princes, and the king's children, and all such 
as are clothed with strange apparel. 

9 In the same day also will I punish all 
those that leap on the threshold, which fill 
their masters' houses with violence and deceit. 

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise 
of a cry from the c fish gate, and an howling 
from the second, and a great crashing from the 
hills. 

11 Howl, ye inhabitants of 3 Mak'tesh, for all 
the merchant people are cut down; all they 
that bear silver are cut off. 

12 And it shall come to pass at that time, 
that I will search Je-ru'sa-lem with candles, 
and punish the men that are ^settled on their 
"lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will 
not do = good, neither will he do evil. 

13 Therefore their goods shall become a 
booty, and their houses a desolation : they shall 
also build houses, but not inhabit them; and 



Ch. 1. B. C. 630. 



1. Idols. 



2. Which was the fountain-head of 
evil; Jehovah begins with his sanc- 
tuary, where the privileges were the 
greatest. 



, 2. A name applied to the Valley of 
Siloam, which is between Zion and 
Mt. Olivet. The name signifies hollow 
shape. 



3. Hardened or crusted; meaning 
the ungodly are becoming hardened. 



4. That is, that Jehovah takes no 
account of human affairs. 



Ch. 2. B. C. 630. 



1. Pn a religious assembly, to pray 
that judgment may be turned aside. 



2. That is, not complaining against 
Jehovah, but composedly waiting the 
time of the Lord. 



3. That is. the argument why the 
ungodly should repent. 



they shall plant vineyards, but "not drink the 
wine thereof. 

14 The ll great day of the Lord is near, it is 
near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of 
the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry 
there bitterly. 

15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of 
trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and 
desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, 
a day of clouds and thick darkness, 

16 A day of l the trumpet and alarm against 
the fenced cities, and against the high towers. 

17 And I will bring distress upon men, that 
they shall walk like blind men, because they 
have sinned against the Lord: and their blood 
shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as 
the dung. 

18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall 
be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's 
wrath; but the ivhole land shall be devoured by 
the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even 
a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the 
land. 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 An exhortation to repentance. 4 The judg- 
ment of the Philistines, 8 of Moab and Am- 
mon. 

1 Gather ^ourselves together, yea, gather 
together, O nation not desired; 

2 Before the decree bring forth, before the 
day pass as the chaff, before Hhe fierce anger 
of the Lord come upon you, before the day of 
the Lord's anger come upon you. 

3 Seek c ye the Lord, all ye meek of the 
earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek 
righteousness, seek 2 meekness: ''it may be ye 
shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger. 

4 If For 3 Ga'za shall be forsaken, and Ash'- 
ke-16n a desolation: they shall drive out Ash'- 
dod e at the noon day, and Ek'ron shall be 
rooted up. 

5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the ''sea coast, 
the nation of the Cher'eth-ites ! the word of the 
Lord is against you; Ca'naan, the land of 
the Phi-lis'tine§, I will even destroy thee, that 
there shall be no inhabitant. 

6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and 
cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. 

7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of 
the house of Ju'dah ; they shall feed thereupon : 
in the houses of Ash'ke-lon shall they lie down 
in the evening : for the Lord their God shall 
"visit them, and ''turn away their captivity. 

8 IT I have heard the reproach of Mo'ab, and 



Ref. Zepnaniah. Chapter 1. 

a. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall 
gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do in- 
iquity. (Mat. 13:41.) 

b. Fulfilled B. C. G24. — And the king commanded Hilkiah the high 
priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, 
to bring forth out of the temples of the Lord all the vessels that were 
made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven; and 
he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried 
the ashes of them unto Bethel. And he put down the idolatrous priests, 
whom the kings of Judah had ordained. (II Ks. 23:4, 5.) 

c. The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of 
Beth-aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests 
thereof that rejoiced on it, -for the glory thereof, because it is departed 
from it. '(Hos. 10:5.) 

d. Because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth 
the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and 
Milcon the god of the children of Amnion, and have not walked in my 
ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes 
and my judgments, as did David his father. (I Ks. 11:33.) 

e. Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the 
west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish 
gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, 
and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah. (II Chr. 33:14.) 

f. Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on 
his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath 
he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his 
scent is not changed. (Jer. 48:11.) Woe to them that are at ease in 
Zion. (Amos 6:1.) 

g. Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the 
olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt 
not drink wine. (Mic. 6:15.) : 

h. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy 



mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the 
Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand. (Joel 2:1.) 

i. My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart 
maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, 
O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. (Jer. 4:19.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, 
gather the children, and those that suck the breast; let the bridegroom 
go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. (Joel 2:16.) 

b. Notwithstanding the "Lord turned not from the fierceness of his 
great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because 
of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal. (II Ks. 
23:26.) 

c. Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in 
the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in 
Bethel. (Amos 5:6.) And they that know thy name will put their trust 
in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. (Ps. 
9:10.) And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, 
Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be 
with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye for- 
sake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 

d. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the 
gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the 
remnant of Joseph. (Amos 5:15.) 

e. Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. 
Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening 
are stretched out. (Jer. 6:4.) 

f. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will stretch out 
mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and 
destroy the remnant of the sea-coast. (Bz. 25:16.) 

g. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and re- 
deemed his people. (Luke 1:68.)

the revilings of the children of Am'mon, where- 
by they have reproached my people, and 'mag- 
nified themselves against their border. 

9 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Is'ra-ei, Surely H5'ab shall 
be as SSd'om, and -'the children of Am'mon 
as Go-mor'rah, even the breeding of nettles, 
and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the 
residue of my people shall spoil them, and the 
remnant of my people shall possess them. 

10 This shall they have for their pride, be- 
cause they have reproached and magnified 
themselves against the people of the Lord of 
hosts. 

11 The Lord will be terrible unto them: for 
he will famish all the gods *of the earth; and 
'■'men shall worship him, every one from his 
place, even_all the isles of the heathen. 

12 r Ye E-thi-o'pi-ans also, ye shall be slain 
by nry sword. 

13 And he will stretch out his hand against 
the north, and destroy As-syr'I-a; and will 
make NIn'e-veh a desolation, and dry like a 
wilderness. 

14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst 
of her, all 7 the beasts of the nations: both the 
cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the 
upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in 
the windows; desolation shall be in the 
thresholds : for he shall uncover the cedar work. 

15 This is the rejoicing city "'that dwelt 
carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and 
there is none beside me : how is she become a 
desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in ! 
every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and 
wag his hand. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 A sharp reproof of Jerusalem for divers sins. 
8 An exhortation to wait for the restoration 
of Israel. 

1 1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to 
the oppressing city! 

2 She a obeyed not the voice; she received 
*not ^correction ; she trusted not in the Lord; 
she drew not near to her God. 

3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; 
her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not 
the bones till the morrow. 

4 Her prophets are light and treacherous 
persons: her priests have polluted the sanctu- 
ary, they have done c violence to the law. 

5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he 
will not do iniquity: every morning doth he 
bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; 
but the unjust knoweth no shame. 

6 I have cut off the nations : their towers 
are desolate; I made their streets waste, that 
none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so 
that there is no man, that there is none inhab- 
itant. 



4. That is. the idols or gods who 
have thei- existence on earth rather 
than in heaven. 



Ch. 3. B. C. 630. 



1. In ch. 3 the prophet produces 
denunciations against Jerusalem, he- 
cause she has not heen reformed by 
the punishment of others, therefore 
she must be chastised herself, after 
which the promises of blessings are 
vouchsafed unto her. 



2. That is. Jerusalem has persist- 
ently and obstinately refused correc- 
tion. 



3. Here Jehovah turns to the be- 
lieving Jews and assures them he will 
wait no longer. 



Against Jerusalem. 



5. That is. their impure language 
— the result of wicked living — shall 
be changed to pure language in the 
service of Jehovah. 



7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt 
receive instruction; so their dwelling should 
not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but 
they rose early, and ''corrupted all their doings. 

8 r Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the 
Lord, until the day that I rise tip to the prey: 
for my determination is to e gather the ^nations, 
that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour 
upon them mine indignation, eveii all my fierce 
anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with 
the fire of my jealousy. 

9 For then will I turn, to the people a pure 
"language, that they may all call upon the 
name of the Lord, to serve him with one con- 
sent. 

10 From 'beyond the rivers of E-thi-o'pi-a 
my suppliants, even the daughter of my dis- 
persed, shall bring mine offering. 

11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed 
for all thy doings, wherein thou hast trans- 
gressed against me: for then I will take away 
out of the midst of thee them that rejoice -"in 
thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty 
because of my holy mountain. 

12 I will also leave in the midst of thee ''an 
afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust 
in the name of the Lord. 

13 The remnant of Is 'ra-el shall not do in- 
iquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful 
tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall 
feed and lie down, and none shall make them 
afraid. 

14 r Sing, daughter of Zi'on; shout, 
is'ra-el; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, 
daughter of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15 The Lord hath taken away thy judg- 
ments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king 
of Is'ra-el, even the Lord, is in the midst of 
thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. 

16 In that day it shall be said to Je-ru'sa- 
lem, Fear thou not : and to Zi'on, Let not thine 
hands be slack. 

17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is 
mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee 
with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy 
over thee with singing. 

18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for 
the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom 
the reproach of it was a burden. 

19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that 
afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, 
and gather her that was driven out; and I will 
get them praise and fame in every land where 
they have been put to shame. 

20 At that time 'will I bring you again, 
even in the time that I gather you: for I will 
make you a name and a praise among all peo- 
ple of the earth, when I turn back your cap- 
tivity before your eyes, saith the Lord. 



your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from 
all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will 
bring you again into the Dlace whence I caused you to be carried away 
captive. (Jer. 29:14.) 

i. Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord; Hath Israel no 
sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his 
people dwell in his cities? (Jer. 49:1.) 

j. Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of the children of 
Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 
because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that .they 
might enlarge their border. (Amos 1:13.) 

k. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe 
me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet 
at Jerusalem, worship the Father. (Jno. 4:21.) 

1. But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses 
shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs 
shall dance there. (Is. 13:21.) 

m. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasure, that 
dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else be- 
sides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of 
children, (Is. 47:8.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidest, I will not 
hear: this hath been thv manner from thy vouth, that thou obevedst

b. O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken 
them, but they have not grieved: thou hast consumed them, but they 
have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder 
than a rock; they have refused to return. (Jer. 5:3.) 



c. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy 
things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, 
neither have they shown difference between the unclean and the clean, 
and have hid their eyes from mv sabbaths, and I am profaned among 
them. (Ez. 22:26.) 

d. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for 
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. (Gen. 6:12.) 

e. I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into 
the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my 
people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among 
the nations, and parted my land. (Joel 3:2.) 

f. Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out 
her hands unto God. (Ps. 6S:31.) Behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch 
of great authority under Candaee queen of the Ethiopians, who had 
the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to wor- 
ship, Was returning and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

g. Think not to say within yourselves. We have Abraham to our 
father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise 
up children unto Abraham. (Mat. 3:9.) 

h. What shall one of them answer the messengers of the nation? 
That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust 
in it. (Is. 14:32.) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the king- 
dom of heaven. (Mat. 5:3.) But God hath chosen the foolish things of 
the world to confound the wise: and God hath chosen the weak things 
of the world to confound the things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:27.) 

i. For I would not. brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this 
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindnesr

HAGGAI 



NOTE. — The Book of Haggai contains the account of four prophecies: the first is to the people, declaring that the failure of their crops is a punishment 
because they had failed to rebuild the house of God, but that if they will, now do so, the presence and approval of Jehovah will be with them. The second is also 
addressed to and concerning all the people, predicting that the glory of Jehovah displayed in the new temple, despite its inferior outward appearance, will 
make it of greater splendor than that of Solomon's. The third is addressed to the priests, declaring that the wickedness of the people is a cause of the failure 
of crops. The fourth is made to Zerubbabel, in which Jehovah declares that He will overthrow the kingdoms of the earth, but a blessing is promised to the 
chosen people. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Haggai reproveth the people for neglecting 
the building of the house. 7 He inciteth 
them to the building. 

1 In 'the second year of Da-iTus the king, 
in the sixth month, in the first day of the 
month, came the word of the Lord by Hag- 
ga-i the prophet unto "Ze-rub'ba-bel the son of 
She-al'ti-el, governor of Ju'dah, and to Josh'u-a 
the son of Jos'e-dech, the high priest, saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord 2 of hosts, saying, 
This people say, The time = is not come, the 
time that the Lord's house should be built. 

3 Then came the word of the Lord by Hag'- 
ga-I 6 the prophet, saying, 

4 Is it time for you, ye, to dwell in your 
"deled houses, and this house lie waste? 

5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of 
2 hosts; Consider "your ways. 

6 Ye have sown much, °and bring in little; 
ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but 
ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but 
there is none warm; and he that earneth 
wages earneth w r ages to put it into a bag with 
holes. 

7 % Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider 
your ways. 

3 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, 
and build the house; and I will take 7 pleasure 
in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord. 

9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to 
little; and when ye brought it home, I did 
blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. 
Because of mine house that is waste, and ye 
run every man unto his own house. 

10 Therefore °the heaven over you is stayed 
from dew, and the earth is stayed from her 
fruit. 

11 And I ^called for a drought upon the 
land, and upon the mountains, and upon the 
corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the 
oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth 
forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and 
upon all the labour of the hands. 

12 If Then e Ze-rub'ba-bel the son of She-al'- 
ti-el, and Josh'u-a the son of Jos'e-dech, the 
high priest, with all the remnant of the people,

1. In ch. 2. the people are discour- 
aged because of their inability to 
build the temple in outward splendor 
equal to the temple of Solomon. But 
Jehovah encourages them, through Hil- 
prophet. by assuring them it shall be 
filled with a glory far exceeding that 
of gold and silver. 

2. The greatest strength they could

ger." 



obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and 
the words of Hag-ga-I the prophet, as the Lord 
their God had sent him, and the people did 
fear ^before the Lord. 

13 Then spake Hag'ga-I the Lord's messen- 
ger in the Lord's message unto the people, say- 
ing, 9l am s with you, saith the Lord. 

14 And the ?, Lord stirred up the spirit of 
Ze-rub'ba-bel the son of She-al'ti-el, governor 
of Ju'dah, and the spirit of Josh'u-a the son of 
Jos'e-dech, the high priest, and the spirit of 
all the remnant of the people; 'and they came 
and did work in the house of the Lord of hosts, 
their God,

sixth month, in the second year of Da-ii'us the 
king. 

CHAPTER 2. 
He encourageth the people by promise of great- 
er glory to the second temple than was in 
the first. 

1 'In the seventh month, in the one and 
twentieth day of the month, came the word of 
the Lord by the prophet Hag'ga-I, saying, 

2 Speak now to Ze-rub'ba-bel the son of She- 
al'ti-el, governor of Ju'dah, and to Josh'u-a 
the son of Jos'e-dech, the high priest, and to 
the residue of the people, saying, 

3 Who "is left among you that saw this 
house in her first glory? and how do ye see it 
now? 6 is it not in your eyes in comparison of it 
as nothing? 

4 Yet now be strong, Ze-rub'ba-bel, saith 
the Lord; and be strong, Josh'u-a, son of 
Jos'e-dech, the high priest; and be strong, all 
ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and 
work: for I am with VoUj saith the Lord of 
hosts:

Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, 
and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the 
altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is writ- 
ten in the law of Moses tire man of God. (Ezra 3:2.) And after they 
were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat

b. Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zeehariah the son of 
Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem 
in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them. (Ezra 5:1.) 

c. And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the 
earth that is under thee shall be iron. The Lord shall make the rain 
of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, 
until thou be destroyed. (Dt. 28:23, 24.) Therefore the showers have 
been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst 
a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. (Jer. 3:3.) 

d. And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, 
said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, 
there shall not be dew nor rain these vears, but according to my word. 
(I Ks. 17:1.) 

e. Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel. and Jeshua the son 
of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: 
and with them were the prophets of God helping them. (Ezra 5:2.) 

f. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his cov- 
enant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. (Ps. 111:9.) By mercy 
and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the Lord men depart 
from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: 
Pear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of 
man. (Ecc. 12:13.) And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, 
that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put 
my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. (Jer. 32:40.) 

g. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have com- 



manded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the

beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew 
of thy youth. (Ps. 110:3.) I can do all things through Christ which 
strengthened me. (Phil. 4:13.) 

i. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, al- 
ways abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that 
your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (I Cor. 15:58.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. But many of the priests and Levites, and chief of the fathers, 
who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the founda- 
tion of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; 
and many shouted aloud for joy. (Ezra 3:12.) 

b. For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall 
rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with 
those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through 
the whole earth. (Zech. 4:10.) 

c. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their 
God. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought 
them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I 
am the Lord their God. (Ex. 29:45, 46.) 

d. Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and with- 
heldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their 
thirst. (Neh. 9:20.) Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and 
his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea 
with t" e shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his Holy Spirit 
within him? (Is. 63:11.) 

e. Whose voice then shook the earth; but now he hath promised, 
saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 
(Heb. 12:26.) 

f. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; be- 
cause thou hast obeyed my voice. (Gen. 22:18.) Behold, I will send

greater than of the former, saith the Lord of 
hosts: and in this place will I give ''peace, 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

10 r Tn the four and twentieth ;, day of the 
ninth month, in the second year of Da-ri'us, 
came the word of the Lord by Hagga-I the 
prophet, saying, 

11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ask now 
the priests concerning the law, saying, 

12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his 
garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, 
or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall 
it be holy? And the priests answered and 
said, No. 

13 Then said Hag'ga-i, If one that is un- 
clean by a dead body touch any of these, shall 
it be unclean? And the priests answered and 
said, It shall be unclean. 

14 Then answered Hag'ga-I, and said, 'So is 
this people, and so is this nation before me, 
saith the Lord; and so is every work of their 
hands; and that which they offer there is un- 
clean.

ZECHARIAH 



NOTE. — Zeehariah is a common scriptural name, there being five of that name in the Old Testament. It means one whom Jehovah remembers. Zech. 
was a priest as well as a prophet. It is supposed that his father, Barachiah, died while the son was quite young, therefore Zech. is sometimes called, as was 
the custom in those days, by the name of his grandfather; in this case, "the son of Iddo." This book divides itself into four sections. First, chs. 1-6 set forth 
the special providence of God and his care over Israel, revealed in eight visions; second, chs. 7, S are a series of exhortations to religious duty, assuring the prom- 
ises of happiness attending thereto; third, chs. 10, 11 record prophecies concerning Israel, also promises regarding the coming Messiah; fourth, chs. 12-14 con- 
tain prophecies regarding Jerusalem and Judah, the punishments which shall overtake Jerusalem's euemies, also prophecies respecting the Messiah's kingdom.

vision of the horses. 12 Comfortable prom- 
ises are made to Jerusalem. 

1 In the eighth month, a in the second year 
of Da-ri'us, came the word of the Lord unto 
'Zech-a-rl'ah, the son of Ber-e-chi'ah, the son 
of Id'do the prophet, saying, 

2 The Lord hath been ^ore displeased with 
your fathers. 

3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord of : hosts; Turn ye c unto me, saith 
the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the 
former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith 
the 2 Lord of hosts: d Turn ye now from your 
evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they 
did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the 
Lord. 

5 Your fathers, where are they? and the 
prophets, do they live for ever? 

6 But e my words and my statutes, which I 
commanded my servants the prophets, did they 
not ''take hold of your fathers? and they re- 
turned and said, ^Like as the Lord of hosts 
thought to do unto us, according to our ways, 
and according to our doings, so hath he dealt 
with us. 

7 U Upon the four and twentieth day of the 
eleventh month, which is the month Se'bat, in 
the second year of Da-ri'us, came to the word 
of the Lord unto Zech-a-ri'ah, the son of Ber- 
e-chi'ah, the son of id'do the prophet, saying, 

8 I saw by night, and behold 3 a ''man riding 
upon a red 4 horse, and he stood among the 
myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and be- 
hind him were there red horses, 5 speckled, and 
white. 

9 Then said I, my lord, what are these? 
And "the angel that talked with me said unto 
me, I will shew thee what these be. 

10 And the man that stood among the 'myr- 
tle trees answered and said, 'These are they 
whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro 
through the earth. 

11 And J'they answered the angel of the 
Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and 
said, We have walked to and fro through the 
earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, 
and is at rest.

come, saith the Lord of hosts." 



4. Symbolizing the divine wrath 
soon to fall upon the foes of the Jews.

and said, ^O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou 
not have mercy on Je-ru'sa-lem and on the 
cities of Ju'dah, against which thou hast had 
indignation these threescore and ten years? 

13 And the Lord answered the angel that 
talked with me 'with good words and com- 
fortable words. 

14 So the angel that communed with me 
said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Je-ru'sa- 
lem and for Zi'on with a great jealousy. 

15 And I am very sore displeased with the 
heathen that are at ease: for m I was but a 
little displeased, and they helped forward the 
affliction. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am re- 
turned to Je-ru'sa-lem with mercies: my house 
shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and 
a line shall be stretched forth upon Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of 
hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet 
be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet com- 
fort Zi'Sn, and "shall yet choose Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18 1F s Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, 
and behold four "horns. 

19 And I said unto the angel that talked 
with me, What be these? And he answered 
me, These are the horns which have scattered 
Ju'dah, Is'ra-el, and Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20 And the Lord shewed me four "carpen- 
ters. 

21 Then said I, What come these to do? 
And he spake, saying, These are the horns 
which have scattered Ju'dah, so that no man 
did lift up his head: but these are come to 
fray them, to cast out the horns of the . Gen'-

of Ju'dah to scatter it.

and behold 2 a "man with a measuring line in 
his hand. 

2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he 
said unto me, To measure Je-ru'sa-lem, to see 
what is the breadth thereof, and what is the 
length thereof.

me went forth, and another angel went out to

e. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall 
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, ■ 
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Is. 55:11.) 

f. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and 
against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for 
under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon 
Jerusalem. (Dan. 9:12.) 

g. The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his com- 
mandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my vir- 
gins and my young men are gone into captivity. (Lam. 1:18.) 



h. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was 
given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that 
they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great 
sword. (Rev. 6:4.) 

i. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in 
all thy ways. (Ps. 91:11.) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth 
to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) 

j. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his 
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. (Ps. 103:20.) 

k. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to 
favor her, yea, the set time, is come. (Ps. 102:13.) 

1. For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accom- 
plished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward 
you, in causing you to return to this place. (Jer. 29:10.) 

m. I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, 
and given them into thine hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon 
the ancient hast thou very heavily laid" thy yoke. (Is. 47:6.) 

n. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose 
Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined 
with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. (Is. 14:1.) And 
the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the 
Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand 
plucked out of the fire? (Zech. 3:2.) 

o. I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly; and to the wicked, Lift 
not up the horn: Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a 
stiff neck. (Ps. 75:4, 5.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose 
appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his 
hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. (Ez. 40:3.)

6 *~ Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the 
land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have

7 Deliver thyself, Zi'on, that dwellest with 
the daughter of Bab'y-lon. 

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After 
the glory hath he sent me unto the nations 
which spoiled you : for he that f toucheth you 
toucheth the apple of his eye. 

9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon 
them, and they shall be a spoil to their serv-

hath sent me.

1 And he ^shewed me Josh'u-a the high

that stood before him, saying, Take away the 
filthy garments from him. And unto him he 
said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to

the angel of the Lord stood by. 

6 And the angel of the Lord protested unto 
Josh'u-a, saying, 

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt 
walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my 
charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, 
and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give 
thee places to walk among these that stand by.

and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they 
are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring

fore Josh'u-a; i'upon one stone shall be ft seven 
£ eyes : behold, I will engrave the graving there-

the iniquity of that land in one day.

shall ye call every man his neighbour under 
the vine and under the fig tree. 

CHAPTER 4. 

By the golden candlestick is foreshewed the 

good success of ZerubbabeVs foundation. 

1 1 And the angel that talked with me came 
again, and waked me, as a man that is wak- 
ened out of his sleep, 

2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And 
I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick 
all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and 
a his seven ^amps thereon, and seven pipes to 
the seven lamps, which are upon the top 
thereof : 

3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the 
right side of the bowl, and the other upon the 
left side thereof. 

4 So I answered and spake to the angel that 
talked with me, saying, What are these, my 
lord? 

5 Then the angel that talked with me an- 
swered and said unto me, Knowest thou not 
what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 

6 Then he answered and spake unto me, 
saying, This is the word of the Lord unto 
Ze-rub'ba-bel, saying, Not by might, ^nor by 
power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

7 Who art thou, 6 great mountain? before 
Ze-rub'ba-bel thou shalt become a plain: and 
he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with 
shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 

8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

9 The hands of Ze-rub'ba-bel have laid the 
foundation of this house; his hands c shall also 
finish it; and thou ''shalt know that the Lord 
of hosts hath sent me unto you. 



b. And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even 
all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be 
builded. (Ez. 36:10.1 

c. In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We 
have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. 
(Is. 26:1.) 

d. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for bright- 
ness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee 
an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. (Is. 60:19.) 

e. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one 
end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other 
gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and 
stone. (Dt. 28:64.) 

f. ' Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribula- 
tion to them that trouble you. (II Thess. 1:6.) 

g. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for 
ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in 
them', and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my 
people. (II Cor. 6:16.) 

h. For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his in- 
heritance. (Dt. 32:9.) 

i. But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence 
before him. (Hab. 2:20.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he 
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing 
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 9.) 

b. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant ac- 
cording to the election of grace. (Rom. 11:5.) 

c. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses 
are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like 
the wind, have taken us away. (Is. 64:6.) 

d. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen. 



clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (Rev. 
19:8.) 

e. Behold my servant, whom I uphold: mine elect, in whom my soul 
delighteth: I have put mv Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judg- 
ment to the Gentiles. (Is. 42:1.) 

f. Through the tender mercy of our God, wh-ereby the dayspring 
from on high hath visited us. (Luke 1:78.) 

g. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone 
of the corner. (Ps. 118:22.) Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, 
I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner 
stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (Is. 
28:16.) 

h. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of. the throne and of the 
four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had 
been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven 
Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. (Rev. 5:6.) 

i. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet 
we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Is. 53:4.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and 
voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, 
which are the seven Spirits of God. (Rev. 4:5.) 

b. Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If 
ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to 

' the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou re- 
moved, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. (Mat. 21:21.) 

c. And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, 
which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. (Ezra 
6:15.) 

d. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words 
of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. 
(I Cor. 2:4.) For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also 
in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know

10 For who hath despised the day of c small 
things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the 
plummet in the hand of Ze-rub'ba-bel with 
those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, 
which run to and fro through the whole earth. 

11 If Then answered I, and said unto him, 
What are these two olive trees upon the right 
side of the candlestick and upon the left side 
thereof? 

12 And I answered again, and said unto him, 
What be these two olive branches which 
through the two golden pipes empty the golden 
oil out of themselves? 

13 And he answered me and said, Knowest 
thou not what these be? And I said, No, my 
lord. 

14 Then said he, These are the two anointed 
ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole 
earth. 

CHAPTER 5. 

By the flying roll is shewed the curse of thieves 

and swearers. 

1 'Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, 
and looked, and behold a flying roll. 

2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? 
And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length 
thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth 
thereof ten cubits. 

3 Then he said unto me, This is the "curse 
that goeth forth over the face of the whole 
earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut 
off as on this side according to it; and every 
one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that 
side according to it. 

4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of 
hosts, and it shall enter into the hotise of the 
thief, and into the house of 6 him that sweareth 
falsely by my name, and it shall remain in the 
midst of his house, and shall consume it with 
the timber thereof and the stones thereof. 

5 \ = Then the angel 4 that talked with me 
went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now 
thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth 
forth. 

6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This 
is an ephah that goeth forth. He said more- 
over, This is their resemblance through all the 
earth. 

7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent 
of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in 
the midst of the ephah. 

8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he 
cast it into the midst of the ephah ; and he cast 
the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 

9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, 
and, behold, there came out two women, and 
the wind was in their wings; for they had

up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 

10 Then said I to the angel that talked with 
me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 

11 And he said unto me, To build c it an 
house in d the land of Shi'nar : and it shall be 
established and set there upon her own base. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 The vision of the four chariots. 9 By the 
crowns of Joshua is shewed the temple and 
kingdom of Christ the Branch. 

1 x And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, 
and looked, and, behold, there came four char- 
iots out from between two 2 mountains; and the 
mountains were mountains of 3 brass. 

2 In the first chariot were "red "horses; and 
in the second chariot 5 black horses; 

3 And in the third chariot "white & horses; 
and in the fourth chariot 'grisled and 8 bay 
horses. 

4 Then I answered and said unto the angel 
that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 

5 And the angel answered and said unto me, 
These c are the four spirits of the heavens, 
which go forth from ^standing before the Lord 
of all the earth. 

6 The black horses which are therein go 
forth into the north "country; and the white go 
forth after them; and the grisled go forth 
toward the south country. 

7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go 
that they e might walk to and fro through the 
earth : and he said, Get you hence, walk to 
and fro through the earth. So they walked 
to and fro through the earth. 

8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto 
me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the 
north country have quieted my ''spirit in the 
north country. 

9 II 10 And the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

10 Take of them of the captivity, even of 
"Hel'da-I, of 12 To-bi'jah, and of Je-da'iah, 
which are come from Bab'y-lon, and come thou 
the same day, and go into the house of Jo-si'ah

crowns, and set them upon the head of J6sh'u-a 
the son of Jos'e-dech, the high priest;

eth the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold Hhe man 
whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall 
grow up out of his place, and he shall i build

the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the 
earth with a curse. (Mai. 4:6.) 

b. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou 
profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. (Ley. 19:12.) And I will 
come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the 
sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and 
against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and 
the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear 
not me, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:5.) 

c. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that 
are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away 
from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and 
plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget 
sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daugh- 
ters to husbands, that they piay bear sons and daughters; that ye may

given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that 
they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great

b. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him 
had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth con- 
quering, and to conquer. (Rev. 6:2.) 



c. Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a. naming fire. (Ps, 
104:4.) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for 
them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) 

d. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand 
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to 
show thee these glad tidings. (Luke 1:19.)

breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. (Gen. 13:17.) 

f. If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; 
for yielding pacifleth great offences. (Ecc. 10:4.) 

g. And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like 
the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. (Ex. 28:36.) 

h. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way 
before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his

CHAPTER 7. 
1 The captives enquire of fasting. 4 Zecha- 
riah reproveth their fasting. 8 Sin the cause 
of their captivity. 

1 a And it came to pass in the fourth year 
of king Da-ri'us, that the word of the Lord 
came unto Zech-a-ri'ah in the fourth day of 
the ninth month, even in Chis'leu; 

2 When they had sent unto the house of 
God She-re'zer and Re'gem-me'lech, and their 
men, to pray before the Lord, 

3 And to a speak unto the priests which were 
in the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the 
prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth 
month, separating myself, as I have done these 
so many years? 

4 r Then came the word of the Lord of hosts 
unto me, saying, 

5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and 
to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and 
mourned in the fifth and seventh month, 6 even 
those seventy years, did ye at all fast c unto 
me, even to me? 

6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did 
drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink 
for yourselves? 

7 Should ye not hear the words which the 
Lord hath cried by the former prophets, when 
Je-ru'sa-lem was inhabited and in prosperity, 
and the cities thereof round about her, when 
men ^inhabited the south and the plain? 

8 1i And the word of the Lord came unto 
Zech-a-ri'ah, saying, 

9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, 
^Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and 
compassions every man to his brother: 

10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fa- 
therless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let 
none of you imagine evil against his brother in 
your heart. 

11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled 
away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, 
that they should not hear. 

12 Yea, they made their hearts as an ada- 
mant stone, lest they should hear the law, and 
the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent

in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore 
came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts. 

13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he 
cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, 
and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts. 

14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind 
among all the nations whom they knew not. 
Thus the land was desolate after them, that 
no man passed through nor returned: for they 
laid the pleasant land desolate. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 The restoration of Jerusalem. 9 They are 
encouraged to the building by God's favour 
to them. 16 Good works are required of 
them. 18 Joy and enlargement are prom- 
ised. 

1 * Again the word of the Lord of hosts came 
to me, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I "was jeal- 
ous for Zi'on with great jealousy, and 1 was 
jealous for her with great fury. 

3 Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto 
Zi'on, and will dwell in the midst of Je-ru'sa- 
lem: and Je-ru'sa-lem 6 shall be called a city of 
truth; and c the mountain of the Lord of hosts 
d the holy mountain. 

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; c There shall 
yet old men and old women dwell in the streets 
of Je-ru'sa-lem, and every man with his staff 
in his hand for very age. 

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of 
boys and girls 2 playing in the streets thereof. 

6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be 
marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this 
people in these days, should it also be marvel- 
lous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts. 

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, 1 
will save my people from the east country, and 
from the west country; 

8 And I will bring them, and ^they shall 
dwell in the midst of Je-ru'sa-lem: and they 
shall be my people, and I will be their God, in 
truth and in righteousness. 

9 If Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; #Let your 
hands be strong, ye that hear in these days 
these words by the mouth of 7l the prophets, 
which were in ! 'the day that the foundation of 
the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that 
the temple might be built. 

10 For before these days there was no hire 
for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was 
there any peace to him that went out or came 
in because of the affliction: for I set all men 
every one against his neighbour. 

11 But now I will not be unto the residue 
of this people as in the former days, saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

12 *For the seed shall be prosperous; the 
vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall 



for ever after the order of Melebizedek. (Ps. 110:4.) Wherefore, holy 
brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and 
High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. (Heb. 3:1.) 

1. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached 
throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be 
spoken of for a memorial of her. (Mk. 14:9.) 

m. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are 
made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Eph. 2:13.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the 
judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall show 
thee the sentence of judgment. (Dt. 17:9.) For the priest's lips should 
keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is 
the messenger of the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 2:7.) 

b. Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, 
how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of 
Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and 
ten years? (Zech. 1:12.) 

c. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he 
that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that 
eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks: and he that eateth 
not. to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. (Rom. 14:6.) 

d. And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the 
places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the 
plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt 
offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing 
sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the Lord. (Jer. 17:26.) 

e. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of 
the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet 
they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not 



visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on 
such a nation as this? (Jer. 5:28, 29.)' 
Chapter 8. 

a. God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and 
is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he re- 
serveth wrath for his enemies. (Nah. 1:2.) 

b. How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judg- 
ment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. (Is. 1:21.) 

e. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain 
of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, 
and shall De exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 
(Is. 2:2.) 

d. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall 
use this speech in the land of Judah, and in the cities thereof, when I 
shall bring again their captivity; The Lord bless thee, habitation of 
justice, and mountain of holiness. (Jer. 31:23.) 

e. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old 
man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred 
years old; but the sinner, being an hundred years old, shall be ac- 
cursed. (Is. 65:20.) 

f. At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the 
families of Israel, and they shall be my people. (Jer. 31:1.) 

g. Vet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord; and be strong. 
O Joshua son of Josedech the high priest; and be strong, all ye people 
of the land, saith the Lord, and work: for I am with you, saith the 
Lord of hosts. (Hag. 2:4.) 

h. Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son 
of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: 
and with them were the prophets of God helping them. (Ezra 5:2.)

give her increase, and the heavens shall give 
their dew; and I will cause the remnant of 
this people to 'possess all these things. 

13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye 
were A 'a curse among the heathen, house of 
Ju'dah, and house of Is'ra-el; so will I save 
you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but 
let your hands be strong. 

14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 'As I 
thought to punish you, when your fathers pro- 
voked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, 
and I repented not: 

15 So again have I thought in these days 
to do well unto Je-ru'sa-lem and to the house 
of Ju'dah : fear ye not. 

16 ""These are the things that ye shall do; 
Speak ye every man the truth to his neigh- 
bour; execute the judgment of truth and peace 
in your gates: 

17 And let none of you imagine evil in your 
hearts against his neighbour; and love no 
false oath : for all these 3 are things that I hate, 
saith the Lord. 

18 % And the word of the Lord of hosts came 
unto me, saying, 

19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The fast 
of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, 
and the fast of the seventh,' and the fast of 
the tenth, shall be to the house of Ju'dah '"joy 
and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore 
love the truth and peace. 

20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet 
come to pass, that there shall come people, and 
the inhabitants of many cities: 

21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go 
to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray 
before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of 
hosts: I will go also. 

22 Yea, many people and strong nations 
shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and to pray before the Lord. 

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those 
days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall 
take hold out of all languages of the nations, 
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that 
is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we 
have heard that God. is with you. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 God defendeth his church. 9 Zion is exhort- 
ed to rejoice for the coming of Christ, and 
his peaceable kingdom. 12 God's promises of

Lord. 

2 And *Ha'math also shall border thereby; 
''Ty'rus, and Zi'don, though it be very wise. 

3 And Ty'rus did build herself a strong 
hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine 
gold as the mire of the streets. 

4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he 
will smite d her power in the sea; and she shall 
be devoured with fire. 

5 Ash'ke-lon shall see it, and fear; Ga'za 
also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and 
Ek'ron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; 
and the king shall perish from Ga'za, and 
Ash'ke-lon shall not be inhabited. 

6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ash'dod, and 
I will cut off the pride of the Phi-lis'tine§. 

7 And I will take away his blood out of his 
mouth, and his abominations from between his 
teeth : but he that remaineth, even he, shall be 
for our God, and he shall be as a governor in 
Ju'dah, and Ek'ron as a Jeb'u-slte. 

8 And e I will encamp about mine house be- 
cause of the army, because of him that passeth 
by, and because of him that returneth : and 
no oppressor shall pass through them any 
more: for now ''have I seen with mine eyes. 

9 ^Rejoice ^greatly, O daughter of Zi'on; 
shout, O daughter of Je-ru'sa-lem: behold, thy 
ll King cometh unto thee: he is tjust, and having 
salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and 
upon a colt the foal of an ass. 

10 And I will cut off the chariot from 
E'phra-im, and the horse from J e-ru' saAem, 
and the battle bow shall be cut off : and he shall 
speak peace Junto the heathen: and his domin- 
ion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the 
river even to the ends of the earth. 

11 As for thee also, s 'by the blood of thy 
covenant I have sent forth thy 'prisoners out 
of the pit wherein is no water. 

12 If Turn you to the strong hold, ye pris- 
oners of hope: even to day do I declare that I 
will render double unto thee; 

13 When I have bent \Ju'dah for me, filled 
the bow with E'phra-im, and raised up thy 
sons, Zi'on, against thy sons, Greece, and 
made thee as the sword of a mighty man. 

14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, 
and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: 
and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and 
shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 

15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them; 
and they shall devour, and subdue with sling 
stones; and they shall drink, and make a 
noise as through wine; and they shall be filled 
like bowls, and as '"the corners of the altar.

j. For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto 
all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which 
is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

k. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine 
anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter 
into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and 
a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. (Jer. 
42:18.) 

1. And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, 
to -pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, 
and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith 
the Lord. (Jer. 31:28.) 

m. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion 
with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy 
and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Is. 35:10.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Damascus, and 
for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they 
have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron. (Amos 1:3.) 

b. Concerning Damascus, Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for 
they have heard evil tidings: they are faint-hearted; there is sorrow 
on the sea; it cannot be quiet. (Jer. 49:23.) 

c. • Thus saith the Lord; for three transgressions of Tyrus, and for 
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they deliv- 
ered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly 
covenant. (Amos 1:9.) 

d. And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, 
How art thou destroyed that wast inhabited of sea-faring men, the re- 
nowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, 
which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it! (Ez. 26:17.) 



e. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, 
and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) 

f. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people 
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task- 
masters; for I know their sorrows. (Ex. 3:7.) 

g. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken 
by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King 
cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt tire foal 
of an ass. (Mat. 21:4, 5.) 

h. Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the 
Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. (Luke 19:38.) Nathan- 
ael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou 
art the King of Israel. (Jno. 1:49.) 

i. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel to- 
gether: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from 
that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else besides me; 
a just God, and a Saviour; there is none besides me. (Is. 45:21.) Neither 
is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under 
heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12.) For 
Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he 
might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened 
by the Spirit. (I Pet. 3:18.) 

j. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken 
down the middle wall of partition between us. (Eph. 2:14.) 

k. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord 
Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the ever- 
lasting covenant. (Heb. 13:20.) 

1. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me 
to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and 
the opening of the prison to them, that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) 

m. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with 
his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and

16 And the "Lord their God shall save them 
in that day as the flock of his people: for °they 
shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted Pup 
as an ensign upon his land. 

17 For how great is his goodness, and how 
great is his beauty! corn shall make the 
young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 God is to be sought unto, and not idols. 5 
As he visited his flock for sin, so he tuill save 
and restore them. 

1 2 Ask ye a of the Lord rain in the time of 
the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright 
clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every 
one grass in the field. 

2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the 
diviners have seen a lie, and have told false 
dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they 
went their way as a flock, they were troubled, 
because there was no shepherd. 

3 I\Iine anger was kindled against the shep- 
herds, and I punished the goats : for the Lord of 
hosts 6 hath visited his flock the house of Ju'- 
dah, and hath made them as his goodly horse 
in the battle. 

4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of 
him the c nail, out of him the battle bow, out 
of him every oppressor together. 

5 r And they shall be as mighty men, which 
tread down their enemies in the mire of the 
streets in the battle: and they shall fight, be- 
cause the Lord is with them, and the riders 
on horses shall be confounded. 

6 And I will strengthen the house of Ju'dah, 
and I will save the house of Jo'seph, and I will 
bring them again to place them; for I have 
mercy upon them: and they shall be as though 
I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord 
their God, and will hear them. 

7 And they of E'phra-im shall be like a 
mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as 
through wine: yea, their children shall see it. 
and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the 
Lord. 

8 I will ^iss for them, and gather them ; for 
I have redeemed them: and they shall increase 
as they have increased. 

9 And I will sow ^them among the people: 
and they shall remember me in far countries; 
and they shall live with their children, and 
turn again. 

10 I f will bring them again also out of the 
land of Egypt, and gather them out of As-syr'- 
l-a; and I will bring them into the land of Gil'- 
e-ad and Leb'a-non; and place shall not be 
found for them.

11 And he shall pass through the sea s with 
affliction, and shall smite the waves in the ''sea, 
and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: 
and the pride of As-syr'i-a shall be brought 
down, and ^the sceptre of E'gypt shall depart 
away. 

12 And I will strengthen them in the Lord; 
and they shall walk up and down in his name,

CHAPTER 11. 
1 The destruction of Jerusalem. 3 The elect 
being cared for, the rest are rejected. 15 
The type and curse of a foolish shepherd. 

1 Open thy doors, ^eb'a-non, that the fire 
may devour .thy cedars. 

2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; be- 
cause the mighty are spoiled: howl, ye oaks 
of Ba'shan; for the forest of the vintage is 
come down. 

3 r There is a voice of the howling of the 
shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice 
of the roaring of young lions; for the pride 
of Jor'dan is spoiled. 

4 Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed the 
flock of the slaughter; 

•5 Whose possessors slay them, and a hold 
themselves not guilty: and they that sell them 
6 say, Blessed be the Lord; for I am rich: and 
their own shepherds pity them not. 

6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants 
of the land, saith the Lord: but, lo, I will de- 
liver the men every one into his neighbour's 
hand, and into the hand of his king: and they 
shall smite the land, and out of their hand I 
will not deliver them. 

7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, 
even you, c O poor of the flock. And I took 
unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, 
and the other I called Bands; and I fed the 
flock. 

8 Three shepherds also I cut off in d one 
month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul 
also abhorred me. 

9 Then said I, I will not feed you : that e that 
dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, 
let it be cut off; and let the rest eat eveiy one 
the flesh of another. 

10 *yAnd I took my staff, even Beauty, and 
cut it asunder, that I might break my Cove- 
nant which I had made with all the people. 

11 And it was broken in that day: and so 
f the poor of the flock that waited upon me 
knew that it was the word of the Lord. 

12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, 
give me my price; and if not, forbear. So 



shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. 
(Lev. 4:25.) . 

n. Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, 
nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but 
I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have 
sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will 
be their God. (Ez. 37:23.) 

o. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day 
when I make up my jewels: and I will spare them, as a man spareth 
his own son that serveth him. (Mai. 3:17.) 

p. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble 
the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from 
the four corners of the earth. (Is. 11:12.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause 
rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou he, O Lord our 
God? therefore we will wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these 
things. (Jer. 14:22.) 

b. I sed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and re- 
deemed people. (Luke 1:68.) 

c. A I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be 
for a glorious throne to his father's house. (Is. 22:23.) 

d. And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will 
hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come 
with speed swiftly, as. 5:26.) 

e. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this 
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in 
part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 
(Rom. 11:25.) 

f. And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian 
sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, 
and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dry- 
shod. And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, 



which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day 
that he came up out of the land of Egypt. (Is. 11:15, 16.) 

g. Thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the idols, and I 
will cause their images to cease out of Xoph; and there shall be no 
more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land 
of Egvpt. (Ez. 30:13.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the first-fruits of his in- 
crease: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith 
the Lord. (Jer. 2:3.) 

b. And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, 
that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I 
walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst. 
(Dt. 29:19.) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words 
make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth 
not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (II Pet. 2:3.) 

c. I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, 
and they shall trust in the name of the Lord. (Zeph. 3:12.) The blind 
receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the 
deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached 
to them. (Mat. 11:5.) 

d. They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have 
begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their 
portions. (Hos. 5:7.) 

e. And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall 
we go forth? then thou shalt tell them. Thus saith the Lord: Such as 
are for death, to death: and such as are for the sword, to the sword; 
and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the 
captivity, to the captivity. (Jer. 15:2.) 

f. For he shall deliver the needy when he erieth: the poor also, and 
him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall 
save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit 
and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. (Ps. 
72:12-14.)

Hhe z potter: a goodly price that I was prised 
at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of 
silver, and cast them to the potter in the house 
of the Lord. 

14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even 
Bands, that I might break the brotherhood 
between Ju'dah and Is'ra-el. 

15 If And the Lord said unto me, 'Take unto 
thee yet the instruments of a foolish shep- 
herd. 

16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the 
land, which shall not visit those that be cut 
off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal 
that that is broken, nor feed that that stand- 
eth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, 
and tear their claws in pieces. 

17 Woe ho the idol shepherd that leaveth 
the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, 
and upon his right eye:. his arm shall be clean 
dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly 
^'darkened. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 Jerusalem a cup of trembling to herself, 3 
and a burdensome stone to her adversaries. 
6 The victorious restoring of Judah. 

1 2 The burden of the word of the Lord for 
is'ra-el, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth 
the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the 
earth, and formeth the spirit of man within 
him. 

2 Behold, I will make Je-ru'sa-lem a cup of 
trembling unto all the people round about, 
when they shall be in the siege both against 
Ju'dah and against Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3 1[ And in that day will I make Je-ru'sa- 
lem a burdensome stone for all people: all that 
burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, 
though all the people of the earth be gathered 
together against it. 

4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will smite 
every horse with astonishment, and his rider 
with madness: and I will open 2 mine eyes upon 
the house of Ju'dah, and will smite every horse 
of the people with blindness. 

5 And the governors of Ju'dah shall say in 
their heart, The inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their 
God. 

6 \ In that day will I make the governors 
of Ju'dah like an hearth of fire among the 
wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and 
they shall devour all the people round about, 
on the right hand and on the left: and Je-ru'- 
sa-lem shall be inhabited again in her own 
place, even in Je-ru'sa-lem. 



3. A symbol sig. Jehovah's abso- 
lute power over the clay (man) 
framed by his own hands. 



Ch. 12. B. C. 587. 



1. In eh. 12 Jerusalem Is recorded 
as the instrument of judgment on her 
foes. Also her repentance and res- 
toration are described. 



2. That is. to watch over 
safety of Judah. 



Ch. 13. B. C. 587. 



1. In this ch. of only nine verses is 
{riven the account of the cleansing of 
the Jews from idolatry and false 
prophesying. 



7 The Lord also shall save the tents of Ju'- 
dah first, that the glory of the house of Da'vid 
and the glory of the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa- 
lem do not magnify themselves against Ju'dah. 

8 In that day shall the Lord defend the in- 
habitants of Je-ru'sa-lem; and he that is feeble 
among them at that day shall be as Da'vid; 
and the house of Da'vid shall be as God, as 
the angel of the Lord before them. 

9 If And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that I will seek to destroy all the nations that 
come against Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10 And I will pour upon the house of Da'vid, 
and upon the inhabitants of Je-ru'sa-lem, the 
spirit of grace and of supplications: and they 
shall look upon me whom they have pierced, 
and they shall mourn^for him, as one mourneth 
for his .only son, and shall be in bitterness for 
him, as one that is in bitterness for his first- 
born. 

11 In that day shall there be a great mourn- 
ing in Je-ru'sa-lem, as the mourning of Ha- 
dad-rim'mon in the valley of Me-gid'don. 

12 And the land shall mourn, every family 
apart; the family of the house of Da'vid apart, 
and their wives apart; the family of the house 
of Na'than apart, and their wives apart; 

13 The family of the house of Le'vl apart, 
and their wives apart; the family of Shim'e-i 
apart, and their wives apart; 

14 All the families that remain, every fam- 
ily apart, and their wives apart. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 The fountain of purgation for Jerusalem, 2 
from idolatry, and false prophecy. 7 The 
death of Christ, and the trial of a third part. 

1 x In that day there shall be a a fountain 
opened to the house of Da'vid and to the in- 
habitants of Je-ru'sa-lem for sin and for un- 
cleanness. 

2 1f And it shall come to pass in that day, 
saith the Lord of hosts, that I will 6 cut off the 
names of the idols out of the land, and they 
shall no more be remembered: and also I will 
cause the c prophets and the unclean spirit to 
pass out of the land. 

3 And it shall come to pass, that when any 
shall yet prophesy, then his father and his 
mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou 
shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the 
name of the Lord: and his father and his 
mother that begat him shall thrust him through 
when he prophesieth. 

4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that 
the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his 
vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall 
they wear a rough garment to deceive: 



g. If the ox shall push a man-servant or a maid-servant; he shall 
give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be 
stoned. (Ex. 21:32.) And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I 
will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty 
pieces of silver. (Mat. 26:15.) 

h. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, 
saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that 
was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value. (Mat. 27:9.) 

i. Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, 
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe 
be to the shepherds of, Israel that do feed themselves! should not the 
shepherds feed the flocks? (Ez. 34:2.) 

j. Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of 
my pasture! saith the Lord. (Jer. 23:1.) 

k. Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a 
vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the 
sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over 
them. (Mic. 3:6.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected 
us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in sub- 
jection unto the Father of spirits, and live? (Heb. 12:9.) 

b. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on 
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (Mat. 21:44.) 

c. The stout-hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep; and 
none of the men of might have found their hands. At thy rebuke, 
God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 
(Ps. 76:5, 6.) 

d. The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from 
Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord 
will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 
(Joel 3:16.) 



e. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound 
the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to con- 
found the things which are mighty (27) ; That no flesh should glory in 
his presence (29). That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let 
him glory in the Lord. (I Cor. 1:27, 29, 31.) 

f. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my 
Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. 
(Joel 2:28.) 

g. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, 
and they also which pierced him; and all kindreds of the earth shall 
wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Rev. 1:7.) 

' h. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, 
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, 
what shall we do? (Acts 2:37.) 
Chapter 13. 

a. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the 
eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience 
from dead works to serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14.) But with the 
precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 
(I Pet. 1:19.) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness, and 
the first-begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. 
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. 
(Rev. 1:5.) 

b. And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: 
and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard 
out of thy mouth. (Ex. 23:13.) 

c. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as 
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.)

5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am 
an husbandman; for man taught me to keep 
cattle from my youth. 

6 And one shall say unto him, What are 
these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall 
answer, Those with which I ivas wounded in 
the house of my friends. 

7 *~ Awake, O sword, against d my shepherd, 
and against the man e that is my fellow, saith 
the Lord of hosts: f smite the shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered: and I 2vill turn mine 
hand upon sthe little ones. 

S And it shall come to pass, that in all the 
land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be 
cut off and die; ''but the third shall be left 
therein. 

9 And I will bring the third part through 
'the fire, and will -^'refine them as silver is re- 
fined, and will try them as gold is tried: they 
shall call on my name, and I will hear them : I 
will say, It is my people: and they shall say, 
The Lord is my God. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 The destroyers of Jerusalem destroyed. 4 
The coming of Christ. 12 The plague of 
Jerusalem's enemies. 16 The remnant shall 
turn to the Lord, 20 and their spoils shall 
be holy. 

1 "Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and 
thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 

2 For a I will gather all nations against Je- 
ru'sa-lem to battle; and the city shall be taken, 
and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; 
and half of the city shall go forth into captiv- 
ity, and the residue of the people shall not be 
cut off from the city. 

3 Then "shall the Lord go forth, and fight 
against those nations, as when he fought in 
the day of "battle. 

4 r And his feet shall stand in that day upon 
the Amount of Ol'ives, which is before Je-ru'- 
sa-lem on the east, and the mount of Ol'ives 
shall cleave in the midst thereof toicard the 
east and toward the west, c and there shall be 
a. very great valley; and half of the mountain 
shall remove toward the north, and half of it 
toward the south. 

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the moun- 
tains; for the valley of the mountains shall 
reach unto A'zal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye 
tied from before the ^earthquake in the days of 



Ch. 14. B. C. 587. 



1. In ch. 14 is recorded the last 
struggle with the foe. and the estab- 
lishment of the day of the Lord.

7. The feasts of the Passover and 
Pentecost are here omitted, because 
that for which they stood having 
come, the types are done away 
with, but the feast of the Taberna- 
cles still remains, the feast during 
which Christ triumphantly made his 
entry into Jerusalem and the pledge 
of his return, also the significant 
symbol of perfect salvation to the 
Gentiles. 



Uz-zi'ah king of Ju'dah: e and the Lord my God 
shall come, and all the *saints with thee. 

6 And Ht shall come to pass in that day, that 
the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 

7 But it shall be one day which shall be 
known to the "Lord, not day, nor night: but it 
shall come to pass, that at ^evening time it 
shall be light. 

8 And it shall be in that day, that living 
waters h shall go out from Je-ru'sa-lem; half 
of them toward the former sea, and half of 
them toward the hinder sea: in summer and 
in winter shall it be. 

9 And the Lord shall be 'king over all the 
earth: in that day shall there be ■'one °Lord, 
and his name one. 

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain 
from Ge'ba to Rim'mon south of Je-ru'sa-lem: 
and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her 
place, from Ben'ja-min's gate unto the place 
of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and 
from the tower of Ha-nan'e-el unto the king's 
winepresses. 

11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall 
be ''no more utter destruction; but Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall be safely inhabited. 

12 r And this shall be the plague wherewith 
the Lord will smite all the people that have 
fought against Je-ru'sa-lem; Their flesh shall 
consume away while they stand upon their 
feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their 
holes, and their tongue shall consume away in 
their mouth. 

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
that a 'great tumult from the Lord shall be 
among them; and they shall lay hold every one 
on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand 
shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. 

14 And Ju'dah also shall fight at Je-ru'sa- 
lem; and the wealth of all the heathen round 
about shall be gathered together, gold, and 
silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 

15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, 
of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and 
of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, 
as this plague. 

. 16 r And it shall come to pass, that every 
one that is left of all the nations which came 
against Je-ru'sa-lem shall even '"go up from 
year to year to worship the "King, the Lord 
of hosts, and to keep the feast T of tabernacles. 
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come 
up of all the families of the earth unto Je-ru'- 



d. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs 
with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those 
that are with young. (Is. 40:11.) Now the God of peace, that brought 
again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 
through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in 
every good work to do his will. (Heh. 13:20, 21.) 

e. I and my Father are one. (Jno. 10:30.) Believest thou not that 
I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto 
you I speak not of myself: but the Father, that dwelleth in me, he 
doeth the works. (Jno. 14:10.) Who, being in the form of God, thought 
it not robbery to he equal with God. (Phil. 2:6.) 

f. And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of 
me this eight: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered. (Mk. 14:27.) 

g. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to 
give you the kingdom. (Luke 12:32.) 

h. Even so then at this" present time also there is a remnant ac- 
cording to the election of grace. (Rom. 11:5.) 

i. Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen 
thee in the furnace of affliction. (Is. 48:10.) 

j. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, 
ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of 
your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, 
though it he tried with fire, might be found unto praise and henor and 
glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 1:6, 7.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the 
valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and 
for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and 
parted my land. (Joel 3:2.) 

b. And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, 
and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city. (Ez. 
11:23 J 

c. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Je- 
hoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. 
(Joel 3:12.) 

d. The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa. 
which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, 



and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years 
before the earthquake. (Amos 1:1.) 

e. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: 
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see 
the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great 
glory. (Mat. 24:30.) 

f. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, 
neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they 
shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev. 22:5.) 

g. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to 
shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the 
light thereof. (Rev. 21:23.) 

h. Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, 
behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house east- 
ward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the 
waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, at the 
south side of the altar. (Ez. 47:1.) 

i. Ask of me," and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inher- 
itance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Ps. 
2:8.) And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a 
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not 
be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all 
these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) 

j. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one 
hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and 
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Eph. 
4:4-G.) 

k. And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and 
all the fields untc the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse 
gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord; it shall not he 
plucked up, nor thrown down, any more for ever. (Jer. 31:40.) 

1. And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among 
all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and 
the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling. (I Sam. 14:15.) 

m. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, 
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before 
me, saith the Lord. (Is. 66:23.) 

n. Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only 
Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. (I Tim. 6:15.)

18 And if the family of E'gypt go not up, 
and come not, that have no rain; there shall 
be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite 
the heathen that come not up to keep the feast 
of tabernacles. 

19 This shall be the punishment of E'gypt, 
and the punishment of all nations that come 
not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 




20 II In that day shall there be upon the bells 
of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; 
and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like 
the bowls before the altar. 

21 Yea, °every pot in Je-ru'sa-lem and in 
Ju'dah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: 
and all they that sacrifice shall come and take 
of them, and seethe therein : and in that day 
there shall be no more the PCa'naan-ite in the 
^house of the Lord of hosts. 



o. And whatsoever ye do in 'word or deed, do all in the naxas of 
the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Col. 
3:17.) 

p. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, 
neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie; but they 
which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Rev. 21:27.) 



q. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fel- 
low-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built 
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself 
being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building, fitly framed 
together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also 
are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (Eph. 
2:19-22.) 



MALACHI 



NOTE. — Malaehi. the last book of the Old Testament, reiterates God's love of Jacob and his hatred of Esau. Censure is pronounced upon the priests for 
their wicked conduct and a rebuke administered to those who have formed unholy matrimonial alliances with foreign women. The announcement is also made 
that Jehovah himself will judge the wicked. The people are rebuked Sor not bringing their tithes according to the law, and for asserting that there is no 
reward to those who serve the Lord. The promise is renewed that all who serve the Lord acceptably shall receive their reward. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Malachi complaineth of Israel's unkindness. 
6 Of their ir religiousness, 12 and profane- 
ness.

2 I have loved V 011 * saith the Lord. Yet 
ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not 
E'sau Ja'eob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I 
loved Ja'eob, 

3 And I hated E'sau, and a laid his moun- 
tains and his heritage waste for the Mragons 
of the wilderness. 

4 Whereas E'dom saith, We are impover- 
ished, but we will return and build the desolate 
places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall 
build, but I will throw down; and they shall 
call them, The border of wickedness, and, The 
people against whom the Lord hath indignation 
for ever. 

5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say,

of Is'ra-el. 

6 H A son c honoureth his father, and a serv- 
ant his master: d if then I be a father, where 
is mine honour? and if I be a master, where

priests, that despise my name. And ye say, 
Wherein have we despised thy name? 

7 c Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar;

it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is 
it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will 
he be pleased with thee, or ^accept thy person?

9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he 
will be gracious unto us : this hath been by 
your means: will he regard your persons? saith 
the Lord of hosts.

4 And ye 3 shall know that I have sent this 
commandment unto you, that my covenant 
might be with Levi", saith the Lord of hosts. 

o My covenant ' was with him of life and 
peace; and I gave them to him 6 for the fear 
wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before 
my name. 

6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and 
iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked 
with me in peace and equity, and did c turn 
many away from iniquity. 

7 For d the priest's lips should keep knowl- 
edge, and they should seek the law at his 
mouth : e for he is the messenger of the Lord of 
hosts.

8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye 
fhave caused many to stumble at the lawj ye 
have corrupted the covenant of Le'vi, saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

9 Therefore have I also made you contempti- 
ble and base before all the people, according as 
ye have not kept my ways, but have been par- 
tial in the law. 

10 "Have Ve not all one father? hath ''not 
one God created us? why do we deal treacher- 
ously every man against his brother, by pro- 
faning the covenant of our fathers? 

11 H Ju'dah hath dealt treacherously, and an 
abomination is committed in Is'ra-el and in Je- 
ru'sa-lem; for Ju'dah hath profaned the holi- 
ness of the Lord which he loved, 'and hath 
married the daughter of a strange god. 

12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth 
this, the master and the scholar, out of the 
tabernacles of Ja'cob, and him that offereth an 
offering unto the Lord of hosts. 

13 And this have ye done again, covering 
the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, 
and with crying out, insomuch that he regard- 
eth not the offering any more, or receiveth it 
with good will at your hand. 

14 II Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the 
Lord hath been witness between thee and the 
wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast 
dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, 
and the wife of thy ^covenant. 

15 And ^did not he make one? Yet had he 
the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? 
That he might seek k a godly seed. Therefore 
take heed to your spirit, and let none deal 
treacherously against the wife of his youth. 

16 For 'the Lord, the God of Is'ra-el, saith 
that he hateth putting away: for one covereth 
violence with his garment, saith the Lord of 
hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that 
ye deal not treacherously. 

17 11 Ye have wearied the "Lord with your 
words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied 
him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil 
is good in the siglyt of the Lord, and he de- 
lighteth in them; or, Where is the God of 
judgment? 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 Of the messenger, majesty, and grace of 
Christ. 7 Of the rebellion, 13 and infidelity 
of the people. 
1 ^Behold, I "will send my ^messenger, 



4. Iu vs. 10-16 is recorded the re- 
proof administered to those who put 
away their Jewish wives and marry 
foreigners. 



5. That is, being the covenant 
people, a sin against one of them is a 
sin against God. She is, therefore, 
the wife of thy covenant. 



6. Inasmuch as they had neg- 
lected the greater and more important 
duties in attending to the lesser ones, 
and after observing the lesser obliga- 
tions they still claim fellowship with 
Jehovah. 



Ch. 3. B. C, 397. 



1. In ch. 3, Jehovah declares that 
he will send his messenger as fore- 
runner to the Messiah to punish the 
guilty and reward the faithful. 



2. John the Baptist. (Mat. 3:3)— 
"For this is he that was spoken of by 
the prophet Esaias. saying. The voice 
of one crying in the wilderness, Pre- 
pare ye the way of the Lord, make 
his paths straight." 



3. The covenant with Abraham. 
Isaac and Jacob, and the manifesta- 
tions of God in the Old Testament, 
also the human appearances of Jeho- 
vah, were all made in the person of 
the Divine Son; and he was. therefore, 
the messenger of the covenant. Old 
and New. 



4. The Jews were led to a knowl- 
edge of the sorcerers through their 
idolatrous foreign wives. 



5. In vs. 5-12 is recorded the re- 
proof of the people for their failure to 
pay the tithes, which is the cause of 
their calamities. It should also be 
observed here, as elsewhere, that 
when the chosen people are reproved 
for their sins, they are also promised 
a reward if they will turn from their 
evil ways and obey Jehovah. 



6. That is. defraud: which they 
had done in withholding the tithes 
due to Jehovah. 



7. That is. they are themselves 
defrauded as they thought they were 
defrauding God; just as the eagle 
who robbed the altar of its offering, 
set fire to her nest with the burning 
coal which adhered to the stolen flesh. 



and he shall ^prepare the way before me: and 
c the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come 
to his temple, d even the messenger 'of the cove- 
nant, whom ye delight in: behold, e he shall 
come, saith the Lord of hosts. 

2 But who may abide the day of his coming? 
and fwho shall stand when he appear -eth? for 
she is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' sope : 

3 And h he shall sit as a refiner and purifier 
of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Le'vi, 
and purge them as gold and silver, that they 
may i offer unto the Lord an offering in right- 
eousness. 

4 Then shall the offering of Ju'dah and Je- 
ru'sa-lem be pleasant. unto the Lord, as in the 
days of old, and as in former years. 

5 And I -'will come near to you to judgment; 
and I will be a swift witness against the ''sor- 
cerers, and against the adulterers, /,: and against 
false swearers, and against those that oppress 
the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the 
fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger 
from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord 
of hosts. 

6 For I am the Lord, 'I change not; there- 
fore ye '"sons of Ja'cob are not consumed. 

7 IFEven from the days of "your fathers ye 
are gone away from mine ordinances, and have 
not kept them. ° Return unto me, and I will 
return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But 
ye said, Wherein shall we return? 

8 H Will a man rob 6 God? Yet ye have 
robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we 
robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 

9 Ye are T cursed with a curse: for ye have 
robbed me, even this whole nation. 

10 Bring Pye all the tithes into sthe store- 
house, that there may be meat in mine house, 
and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of 
hosts, if I will not open you the windows r of 
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there 
shall not be room enough to receive it. 

11 And I will rebuke the s devourer for your 
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of 
your ground; neither shall your vine cast her 
fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord 
of hosts. 

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: 
for ye shall be f a delightsome land, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

13 f Your words have been stout against 
me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have 
we spoken so much against thee? 



rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 
(Gal. 4:14.) 

f. Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the 
Lord; for men abhorred the offering of the Lord. (I Sam. 2:17.) 

g. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, 
and in you all. (Eph. 4:6.) 

h. Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not 
one fashion us in the womb? (Job 31:15.) 

i. In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, 
of Ammon, and of Moab. (Neh. 13:23.) 

j. And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he 
which made them at the beginning made them male and female. And 
said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall 
cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (Mat. 19:4, 5.) 

k. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the 
unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children 
unclean; but now are they holy. (I Cor. 7:14.) 

1. But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, 
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: 
and whosoever shall marry hor that is divorced committeth adultery.

come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.

to stand? (Rev. 6:17.)

of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst 
thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. (Is. 4:4.) 

h. And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy 
dross, and take away all thy tin. (Is. 1:25.)

Christ. (I Pet. 2:5.)

shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. (II Thess. 1:7.) 

k. Behold, the hire of the laborers which have reaped down your 
fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them 
which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 
(Js. 5:4.) 

1. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he 
spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) Every good gift 
and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father 
of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js. 
1:17.) 

m. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because 
his compassions fail not. (Lam. 3:22.) 

n. Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do al- 
ways resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. (Acts 7:51.) 

o. Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn 
ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the 
Lord of hosts. (Zech. 1:3.) 

p. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) 

q. And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house 
of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things. (I Chr. 26:20.)

the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains 
of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 
(Gen. 7:11.) 

s. I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens 
and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the

14 Ye "have said, It is vain to serve God: 
and what profit is it that we have kept his 
ordinance, and that we have walked mourn- 
fully before the Lord of hosts? 

15 And now 'we call the proud happy; yea, 
they that work wickedness are set up; yea, 
they that tempt ""God are even delivered. 

16 If Then they ■nhat feared the »Lord spake 
often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, 
and heard it, and a book of Remembrance was 
written before him for them that feared the 
Lord, and that thought upon his name. 

17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of 
hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; 
and I will spare them, as a man spareth his 
own son that serveth him. 

18 Then shall ye return, and discern be- 
tween the righteous and the wicked, between 
him that serveth God and him that serveth 
him not.

coming and office.

the impression of all our responsibili- 
ties. 

Ch. 4. B. C. 397. 

1. In ch. 4, with only six verses, is 
declared Jehovah's judgments against 
the wicked, his blessings on the faith- 
ful, and the coming and office of Eli- 
jah. 

2. In its full and successive ful- 
fillment, the day of judgment. 

3. As there were to be no more 
prophets and no direct communion till 
the coming of John, they are told to 
remember the law, lest they should 
forget. 

4. Thus declaring his office, he 
comes as a prophet and not in his own 
person. 

5. Implying that the coming of 
the Messiah will bring woe and sor- 
row to all who have not been recon- 
ciled, as it did to guilty Jerusalem, 
and as bis second coming will to 
those who are not prepared. 

6. A ban under which the Jews 
have long lain and under which the 
Gentile world will lie unless they are 
faithful to him, who came to deliver 
them. Be it observed that the last 
word of the law is one of wrath, 
while the first of the gospel is one of 
blessing. The last word from heaven 
standing for 400 years, during the in- 
tervening time of the old dispensa-

tion and the new, was that awful 
word "curse"; while the Messiah's 



first word on the Mount to this sin- 
cursed world was "blessed." (Mat.

and taught them saying, Blessed are 



the poor in spirit: for theirs is the 
kingdom of heaven." 



exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the 
pleasant land. (Dan. 8:9.) 

u. And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jeru- 
salem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees; 
that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do 
evil. (Zeph. 1:12.) 

v. Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they 
increase in riches. (Ps. 73:12.) 

w. When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 
(Ps. 95:9.) 

x. Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he 
hath done for my soul. (Ps. 66:16.) 

y. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to 
prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 
(Ex. 20:20.) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good 
understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise en- 
dureth for ever. (Ps. 111:10.) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole 
matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole 
duty of man. (Bcc. 12:13.) That all the people of the earth might 
know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty; that ye might fear the 
Lord your God for ever. (Josh. 4:24.) The fear of the Lord is to hate 
evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do 
I hate. (Prov. 8:13.) By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by 
the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. (Prov. 16:6.) 

z. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Bcc. 12:14.) And, be- 
hold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man 
according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) Judge not according to 
the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (Jno. 7:24.) Therefore 
the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; accord- 
ing to my cleanness in his eye-sight. With the merciful thou wilt show 
thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself up- 
right. With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure: and with the froward 
thou wilt show thyself unsavory. (II Sam. 22:25-27.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring 
from on high hath visited, us. (Luke 1:78.) We have also a more sure 
word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a 



light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star 
arise in your hearts. (II Pet. 1:19.) 

b. Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover 
her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall 
behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. 
(Mic. 7:10.) 

c. Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in 
Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and 
I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the 
days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their 
children. (Dt. 4:10.) 

d. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to 
turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to 
the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 
(Luke 3:17.) 

e. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but 
not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall de- 
stroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shalL be with a 
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:26.) Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an 
abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, 
and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and 
say, Amen. Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. 
And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that removeth his 
neighbor's land-mark. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be 
he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people 
shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the 
stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say. Amen. 
Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth 
his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he 
that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, 
Amen. Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his 
father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, 
Amen. Cursed be he that lieth with his mother-in-law. And all the 
people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbor secretly. 
And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that taketh reward 
to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say. Amen. Cursed 
be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all 
the people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 27:15-26.)

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO 

SAINT MATTHEW 



NOTE. — The author of this Gospel is Matthew, called "Levi" in Mark 2:14 and Luke 5:27. He was one of the 12 Apostles of Christ and, at the 
time when he was summoned by Christ, he was one of the collectors of taxes. Matthew is one of the four Gospels ("tidings of great joy"), and is fouuded 
directly on the words used by" the angel in the annunciation of the birth of Christ, in Luke 2:10 — "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which 
shall be to all people." The purpose of the Gospels is, therefore, to put into tangible and permanent form the proof that Christ is the Messiah promised 
In the Old Testament, and that he came fulfilling the mission of the Messiah there promised, i. e. , to save the world from its sins and redeem mankind 
from the curse of the law. In order to make conclusive the authenticity of Christ. Matthew gives his genealogy as far back as Abraham: In writing 
the life of Christ, Matthew gives the Sermon on the Mount, also his general sayings, in order to set forth the principles of Christ's kingdom; a record 
of the miracles is given to prove his Sonship — that he was one with the Father and that to him all power is given in heaven and in earth — and also to 
establish his love and sympathy for man. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 The genealogy of Christ from Abraham to 

Joseph. 18 He was conceived by the Holy 

Ghost, and bom of the Virgin Mary. 19 

The angel interpreteth the names of Christ. 

1 The ^ook of the generation of Je'§us 
2 Christ, a the son 3 of Da'vid, 6 the son of A'bra- 
ham^ 

2 A'bra-ham begat I'saac; and l'§aac begat 
Ja'cob; and Ja'cob begat Ju'das and his breth- 
ren; 

3 And Ju'das begat Pha'res. and Za'ra of 
Tha'mar; and Pha'res. begat Es'rom; and Es'- 
rom begat A' ram; 

4 And A'ram begat A-mm'a-dab; and 
A-mm'a-dab begat Na-as'son; and Na-as'son 
begat Sal'mon; 

5 And Sal'mon begat Bo'oz °of Ra'chab; and 
Bo'oz begat O'bed of Ruth; and O'bed begat 
Jes'se; 

6 And Jes'se begat Da'vid the king; and 
Da'vid the king begat Sol'o-mon of her that 
had been the wife of U-ri'as; 

7 And Sol'o-mon begat Ro-bo'am; and Ro- 
bo'am begat A-bi'a; and A-bl'a begat A'sa; 

8 And A'sa begat Jos'a-phat; and Jos'a-phat 
begat Jo'ram; and Jo'ram begat O-zi'as; 

9 And O-zFas begat Jo'a-tham; and Jo'a- 
tham begat A'chaz; and A'chaz begat Ez-e- 
ki'as ; 

10 And Ez-e-kfas begat Ma-nas'se§; and 
Ma-nas'ses. begat A/mon; and A'mon begat Jo- 
sl'as ; 

11 And Jo-sl'as begat Jech-o-ni'as and his 
brethren, about the time they were carried 
away to Bab'y-lon : 

12 And after they were brought to Bab'y- 



Ch. 1. B. C. 1898— B. C. 1. 

1. Not a book as a modern vol- 
ume, but a roll, frequently called 
a scroll. This ch. is largely given 
to the genealogy of Christ, to prove 
the statement of v. 23, as is spoken 
in v. 22. , 

2. Not the personal name or 
proper name of our Saviour but a 
title, a designation of royal office, 
given by the express command of 
the angel (v. 21), thereby anoint- 
ing him, as it were, to. the office 
of Saviour as one who should save 
his people from their sins. 

3. Meaning here, as elsewhere in 
the Scriptures, a descendant. 

4. The generations are here di- 
vided into three groups, sig. the three 
historic epochs of Jewish history, 
viz., the patriarchal, the Egyptian 
and Mosaic. 

5. The period of Israelitish mon- 
archy. Three of the kings are here 
omitted, presumably for a double 
purpose — first, their great wicked- 
ness; second, to retain the number 
14, which is twice the sacred num- 
ber 7. 

6. While Matthew mentions onlyi 
13 generations here, there seems to 
have been one clause omitted, which 
— there is abundant proof — was writ-! 
ten by Matthew himself, but in some 
way was dropped, viz., "Josiah be- 
gat Joakim and his brethren; and 
Joakim begat Jeehonias about the 
time of the first Babylonish cap- 
tivity; and Jeehonias begat Selathiel 
after they were brought to Baby- 
lon." 

7. Vs. 18-25 record the angel's 
announcement of the birth of Jesus. 

8. Of Mary, the mother of Christ, 
little is known. After the child- 
hood of Christ, she appears at the 
wedding of Cana. again, with his 
brethren, trying to induce him to 
remove from the crowds in Galilee 
to his childhood home in Nazareth; 
she then drops out of notice until 
she appears at the cross at Calvary, 
where Christ gave her into the keep- 



lon, Jech-o-ni'as begat Sa-la'thi-el; and Sa-la- 
thi-el begat Zo-rob'a-bel; 

13 And Zo-rob'a-bel begat A-bi'ud; an J 
A-bi'ud begat E-li'a-kim; and E-li'a-kim begat 
A'zor ; 

14 And A'zor begat Sa'doc; and Sa'doc be- 
gat A'chim; and A'chim begat E-li'ud; 

15 And E-li'ud begat E-le-a'zar; and E-le-a- 
zar begat Mat'than; and Mat'than begat Ja'- 
cob; 

16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of 
Ma'ry, of whom was born d Je'§us, who is called 
Christ. 

17 So all the fenerations from A'bra-ham 
to Da'vid are fourteen generations; and from 
5 Da'vid until the carrying away into Bab'y-lon 
are fourteen generations; and from the carry- 
ing away into Bab'y-lon unto 6 Christ are four- 
teen generations. 

18 H 7 Now the e birth of Je'§us Christ was on 
this wise: When as his mother s Ma'ry was es- 
poused to Jo'§eph, before they came together, 
she was found with child of the Ho'ly Ghdst. 

19 Then Joseph, her husband, being a just 
man, and not willing to make her a ^public ex- 
ample, was minded to put "her away privily. 

20 But while he thought on these things, be- 
hold, A the angel of the Lord appeared unto him 
in a dream, saying, Jo'§eph, thou *son of Da'- 
vid, fear not to take unto thee Ma'ry thy wife: 
for that which is c conceived in her is of the 
Ho'ly Ghost. 

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou 
shalt ■'call his name °JE'SUS : for he shall 
/<; save his people from their sins. 

22 Now 10 all this was done, that it might be 
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the 
prophet, saying, 



ing of John, the beloved disciple. 
The last mention of her is in Acts 
1:14. "These all continued with one 
accord in prayer and supplication, 
with the women and Mary, the 
mother of Jesus, and with his breth- 



ren." This was in the company of 
the disciples after the Ascension. 
She is said to have died at the age 
of 63. 

9. The Greek equivalent to the 
Hebrew name Joshua, who was the 



type of Christ, as the deliverer of 
Israel, leading them into the prom- 
ised land;, so. as Joshua delivered 
his people from their enemies and 
established them in Canaan, Jesus 
is the redeemer and deliverer from 



sin of those who believe on him 
and established them in the heavenly 
Canaan. 

10. That is. the events of the 
miraculous birth as recorded in vs. 
1S-22. 



Ref. St. Matthew. Chapter 1. 

a. The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from 
it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. (Ps. 132:11.) 
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a 
Branch shall grov/ out of his roots. (Is. 11:1.) Saying, What think ye 
of Christ? whose son is he? They sav unto him, The son of David. 
(Mat. 22:42.) 

b. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He 
saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but r.s of one, And to thy seed, 
which is Christ. (Gal. 3:16.) 

c. And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's house- 
hold, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this 
day; because she hid the messengers which Joshua sent to spy out 
Jericho. (Josh. 6:25.) 

d. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between 
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shait bruise his 
heel. (Gen. 3:15.) For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, 
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11.) In this was mani- 
fested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only-be- 
gotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. (I Jno. 4:9.) 

e. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his 
Son, made of a woman, made under the law. (Gal. 4:4.) The sceptre 
shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until 
Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Gen. 
49:10.) That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather 
together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and 
which are on earth, even in him. (Eph. 1:10.) And I will put enmity 
between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall 
bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) Foras- 
much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also 
himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might 
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. (Het. 2:14.) 

t. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a 



man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them 
both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones 
that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and 
the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put 
away evil from among you. (Dt. 22:23, 24.) 

g. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to 
pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some 
uncleannessi in her; then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give 
it in her hand, and se'nd her out of his house. (Dt. 24:1.) 

h. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand 
in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show 
thee these glad tidings (19). And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel 
was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin 
espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and 
the virgin's name was Mary. (Luke 1:19, 26, 27.) And I heard a man's 
voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make 
this man to understand the vision. (Dan. 8:16.) Yea, whiles I was 
speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision 
at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the 
time of the evening oblation. (Dan. 9:21.) 

i. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the 
house of David; and the virgin's name was. Mary. (Luke 1:27.) And 
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into 
Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he 
was of the house and lineage of David). (Luke 2:4.) 

j. And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: 
and he called his name JESUS. (Mat. 1:25.) And, behold, thou shalt 
conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name 
JESUS. (Luke 1:31.) And when eight days were accomplished for the 
circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so 
named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. (Luke 2:21.) 

k. He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our 
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his

23 'Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and 
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his 
name "Em-man'u-el, which being interpreted is, 
God with us. 

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did 
as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and 
took unto him his wife : 

25 And knew her not till she had brought 
forth her firstborn son: and he called his 
name JE'SUS. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 The wise men are directed to Christ by a 
star. 11 They worship him, and offer their 
presents. 14 Joseph fleeth into Egypt, with 
Jesus and his mother. 16 Herod slayeth the 
children, 20 himself dieth. 23 Christ is 
brought to Nazareth. 

1 'Now when Je'sus was °born in : Beth'le- 
hem of *Ju-das'a in the days of 5 Her'od the king, 
behold, there came 6 wise ^en from the 6 east 
to T Je-ru'sa-lem, 

2 Saying, Where is he that is born c King of 
the Jews? for we have seen his a star in the 
east, and are come to worship him. 

3 When Her'od the king had heard these 
things, he was troubled, and all Je-ru'sa-lem 
with him. 

4 And when he had gathered all the chief 
priests and scribes of the people together, he 
demanded of them where Christ should be born. 

5 And they said unto him, In Beth'le-hem 
of Ju-dse'a: for thus it is written by the 
prophet, 

6 c And thou s Beth'le-hem, in the land of Ju'- 
da, art not the least among the princes of Ju'- 
da: 9 for out of thee shall come a Governor, 
that shall rule my people Is'ra-el. 

7 Then Her'od, when he had privily called 
the wise men, enquired of them diligently what 
time the star appeared. 

8 And he sent them to Beth'le-hem, and 
said, Go and search diligently for the young 
child; and when ye have found him, bring me 
word again, that I may come and worship him 
also. 

9 When they had heard the king, they de- 
parted; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the 
east, went before them, till it came and stood 
over where the young child was. 

10 "When they saw the star, they rejoiced 
with exceeding great joy. 

11 If And when they were come into the 
house, they saw the young child with Ma'ry 
his mother, and fell down, and worshipped 
him: and when they had opened their treas- 



11. To our Messiah tbere are giv- 
en three titles or offices, viz., Jesus, 
meaning Saviour; Christ, meaning 
anointed; Emmanuel, meaning God 
ivith us, or God with man, combining 
divinity and humanity. 

Ch. 2. A. D. 1-4. 

1. In ch. 2 is given- an account 
of the visit of the wise men search- 
ing for the infant Christ; Joseph's 
flight to Egypt with Mary and the 
Christ; Herod's order to slay all 
male children under the age of two 
years in order to put to death Christ, 
the King of the Jews; and the 
bringing of Christ out of Egypt. 

2. Called in the Old Testament 
Bethlehem-Judah to distinguish it 
from Bethlehem of the tribe of Zebu- 
lun. It is especially noted as the 
scene of the Book of Ruth. It is 
about 6 miles south of Jerusalem and 
contains at the present time (1905) 
about 4.000 inhabitants, mostly 
Christians of the Greek church. 

3. Vs. 1-10 give an account of 
the coming of the wise men, guided 
by the star in the east. It is sup- 
posed that they came from Persia. 

4. Palestine, between the Medi- 
terranean .on the west and Jordan 
en the east This section was di- 
vided into three provinces — Galilee, 
Samaria and Judea. 

5. Called Herod the Great, who 
died during the infancy of Jesus. 

6. Supposed to be from Persia. 

7. The first occurrence in the 
New Testament of the name of the 
holy city; in Gen. called Salem, with 
Melchizedek as king, who was a 
type of the future Messiah. It was 
here that Abraham brought Isaac to 
be sacrificed, where later Christ was 
actually sacrificed. Its career has 
been a checkered one, undergoing the 
fate of the Jewish race. 

8. Thus are written and preserved 
by the Jews, the opponents of 
Christianity, the records of the proof 
of Christ. Someone has said, "Juda- 
ism has furnished the prophecy, 
Christianity the fulfillment, the 
Hebrews the record." 

9. Thus lifted from the least to 
the greatest. 

10. Vs. 12-15 narrate the return 
of the Magi and Joseph's flight into 
Egypt. 

11. The Jews had established a 
colony in Egypt which had been in 
existence a long time. 

12. "The prophet" here means 
the people Israel personified as an 
individual. 

13. Vs. 16-23 give an account of 
the slaughter of the male children 
and Joseph's return from Egypt. 

14. A village of the tribe of Ben- 
jamin, near Bethlehem. 

15. Fearing that the cruelty of 
the father had descended to the son, 
which time proved to be true. After 
a reign of nine years. Arcbelaus was 
deposed for his cruelty and banished 
to Vienna, in Gaul, where he died. 

16. A small village in a little 
valley in the southwestern part of 
Galilee. It is nowhere mentioned 
in the Old Testament, its fame and 
record being solely as the residence 
of Christ. 



ures, they presented unto 6 him gifts; gold, and 
frankincense, and myrrh. 

12 And being warned of God in a dream 
that they should not return to Her'od, they 
departed into their own country another way. 

13 And when they were departed, behold, the 
angel of the Lord appeareth to Jo'seph in a 
dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child 
and his mother, and flee into E'gypt, and be 
thou there until I bring thee word: for Her'od 
will seek the young child to destroy him. 

14 When he arose, he took the young child 
and his mother by night, and departed inco 
"Egypt: 

15 And was there until the death of Her'od: 
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of 
the Lord by the prophet, saying, 12 Out fof 
E'gypt have I called my son. 

16 If "Then Her'od, when he saw that he was 
mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, 
and sent forth, and slew all the children that 
were in Beth'le-hem, and in all the coasts 
thereof, from two years old and under, accord- 
ing to the time which he had diligently en- 
quired of the wise men. 

17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken 
by Jer'e-my the prophet, saying, 

18 ^In "Ra'ma was there a voice heard, 
lamentation, and weeping, and great mourn- 
ing, Ra'chel weeping for her children, and 
would not be comforted, because they are not. 

19 If But when Her'od was dead, behold, an 
angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Jo'- 
§eph in E'gypt, 

20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child 
and his mother, and go into the land of Is'ra- 
el: for they are dead which sought the young 
child's life. 

21 And he arose, and took the young child 
and his mother, and came into the land of 'Is'- 
ra-el. 

22 But when he heard that 15 Ar-che-la'us 
did reign in Ju-dse'a in the room of his father 
Her'od, he was afraid to go thither: notwith- 
standing, being warned of God in a dream, he 
turned aside into the parts of Gal'i-lee: 

23 And he came and dwelt in a city ''called 
16 Naz'a-reth : that it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by the prophets, 'He shall be called 
a Naz'a-rene.

baptizeth Christ in Jordan. 



stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) Him hath God exalted with his right 
hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and 
forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31.) In whom we have redemption through 
his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. 
(Eph. 1:7.) Ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and 
in him is no sin. (I Jno. 3:5.) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faith- 
ful Witness, and the first-begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the 
kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our 
sins in his own blood. (Rev. 1:5.) 

I. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin 
shall conceive, ?.nd bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Is. 
7:14.) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there 
shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to 
order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from hence- 
forth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. 
(Is. 9:6, 7.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Naza- 
reth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (be- 
cause be was of the house and lineage of David,) To be taxed with 
Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, 
while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be 
delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him 
in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no 
room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:4-7.) 

b. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents 
unto thee (29). Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon 
stretch out her hands unto God. (Ps. 68:29, 31.) The kings of Tarshish 
and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall 



offer gifts. (Ps. 72:10.) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and 
kings to the brightness of thy rising (3). The multitude of camels shall 
cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; a:il they from Sheba 
shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth 
the praises of the Lord. (Is. 60:3, 6.) 

" e. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto 
David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and 
shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Jer. 23:5.) Nathanael 
answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 
the King of Israel. (Jno. 1:49.) 

d. I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: 
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of 
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children 
of Sheth. (Num. 24:17.) 

e. But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the 
thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is 
to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from 
everlasting. (Mic. 5:2.) Hath not the Scripture said, That Christ cometh 
of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David 
■was? (Jno. 7:42.) 

f. When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son 
out of Egypt. (Hos. 11:1.) 

g. Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, 
and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children, refused to be com- 
forted for her children, because they were not. (Jer. 31:15.) 

h. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God 
unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth. (Luke 1:26.) Philip findeth 
Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him of whom Moses in 
the Law, and the Prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth the son of 
Joseph. (Jno. 1:45.) 

i. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a 
Branch shall grow out of his roots. (Is. 11:1.)

Ch. 3. A. D. 26. 

1. There has been an interval of 
nearly 30 years between the events 
of chs. 2 and 3. In ch. 2 .Jesus 
was an infant; in ch. 3 he has 
reached manhood and is ready for 
his life work. His human father 
Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth, 
had died, and it seems that the 
mother and brothers had almost lost 
perfect faith in his Messiahship. It 
is also true that his mother may be 
the only one of the family now liv- 
ing cognizant of the facts of his 
birth. 

2. . The days Jesus dwelt in Naz- 
areth. 

3. John the Baptist, a son given 
in answer to prayer in the old age 
of Zacharias, the priest, and Eliza- 
beth, his wife. Elizabeth was a 
cousin of Mary, mother of Jesus. 
He was born about sis months before 
Christ. Though it seems that their 
mothers were well acquainted with 
each other, yet John and Jesus each 
grew up as a direct gift of God. 
without John's having a perfect con- 
ception of Christ. This is evidenced 
by the fact that when Christ began 
to perform his miracles, John — who 
was then in prison — sent his mes- 
sengers to inquire if this was indeed 
the Messiah.

descent of the Spirit upon him. 



Chapter 3. 

a. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of 
the Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, 
and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And 
there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, 
and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their 
sins. And John was ck>thed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a 
skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And 
preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet 
of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. ■ I indeed 
have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy 
Ghost. (Mk. 1:3-8.) , 

b. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there 
shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to 
order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justfce from hence- 
forth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. 
(Is. 9:6, 7.) And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set 
up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall 
not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all 
these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) How great are 
his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an ever- 
lasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation. 
(Dan. 4:3.) I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom 
men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living 
God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be 
destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. (Dan. 6:26.) 
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that ail 
people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an 
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that 
which shall not be destroyed (14). And the kingdom and dominion, and 
the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given 
to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an ever- 
lasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. (Dan. 
7:14, 27.) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: 
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Mat. 4:17.) And as ye go, 
preach, saying. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Mat. 10:7.) And 
saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent 
ye, and believe the Gospel. (Mk. 1:15.) 

c. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 
(Is. 40:3.) 

d. And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a 
girdle of leather about his loins. And he said. It is Elijah the Tishbite. 
(II Ks. 1:8.) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets 
shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; 
neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive. (Zech. 13:4.) 

e. Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his -kind, and 
the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the 
grasshopper after his kind. (Lev. 11:22.) 

f. And there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of 
Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, con- 
fessing their sins. (Mk. 1:5.) 

g. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? 
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (Mat. 12:34.) 
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation 
of hell? (Mat. 23:33.) Then said he to the multitude that came forth 
to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to 
flee from the wrath to come? (Luke 3:7.) 

h. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the 
dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (I Thess 
1:10.) 

i. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in 



bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? (33). 
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith 
unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of 
Abraham. (Jno. 8:33, 39.) Men and brethren, children of the stock of 
Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word 
of this salvation sent. (Acts 13:26.) What shall we then say that 
Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if 
Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not 
before God. For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and 
it was counted unto him for righteousness (1-3). And he received the 
sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he 
had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them 
that believe, though they be not circumcised: that righteousness might 
be imputed unto them also (11). Therefore it is a faith, that it might 
be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to 
that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of 
Abraham; who is the father of us all. (Rom. 4:1-3, 11, 16.) 

j. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and 
cast into the fire. (Mat. 7:19.) Then said he unto the dresser of his 
vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, 
and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? (Luke 13:7.) 
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; 
and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 
(Jno. 15:6.) 

k. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, 
the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, 
and remaining on him, the same is he which baptized with the Holy 
Ghost. (Jno. 1:33.) For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall 
be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (Acts 1:5.) Then 
remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed 
baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost 
(Acts 11:16.) 

1. When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters 
of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst 
thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. ,(Is. 4:4.) 
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the 
same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, 
and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy 
Ghost. (Jno. 1:33.) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like ' 
as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with 
the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit 
gave them utterance. (Acts 2:3, 4.) 

m. The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall 
eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and 
with the fan. (Is. 30:24.) Whose fan is in his hand, and he will through- 
ly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner: but the 
chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. (Luke 3:17.) 

n. For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven;' and all 
the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day 
that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall 
leave them neither root nor branch. (Mai. 4:1.) But who may abide 
the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for 
he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap: And he shall sit as a 
refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and 
purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an 
offering in righteousness. (Mai. 3:2, 3.) Let both go together until the 
harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye 
together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn tnem; but 
gather the wheat into my barn. (Mat. 13:30.) 

o. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Naza- 
reth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. (Mk. 1:9.) Which 
was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son 
of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was tl?e son of Levi 
(Luke 3:29.) 

p. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Be-

A. D. 27-31 



heavens were opened unto him, and he "saw 
the ^Spirit of God descending like a dove, and 
lighting upon him: 

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, 'This 
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Christ fasteth, and is tempted. 11 The 

angels minister unto him. 18 He calleth 

Peter, and Andrew, 21 James, and John, 

23 and healeth all the diseased. 

1 'Then was Je'§us led 2 up of "the spirit into 
the wilderness to be ^tempted of the devil. 

2 And when he ( 'had "fasted forty days and 
forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 

3 And when the tempter came to him, he 
said, If thou be the Son of God, command that 
these stones be made bread. 

4 But he answered and said, d It is written, 
e Man shall not live by bread alone, but by 
every *word that proceedeth out of the mouth 
of God. 

5 Then the devil taketh him up ''into the 
holy city, and setteth him on a ^pinnacle of the 
temple, 

6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of 
God, cast thyself down: for it is "written, #He 
shall give his angels charge concerning thee: 
and in their hands they shall bear thee up, 
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a 
stone. 

7 Je'sus said unto him, It is ''written again, 
ll Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an ex- 
ceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all 
the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of 
them; 

9 And saith unto him, All these things will 
I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship 
me. 

10 Then saith Je'§us unto him, Get thee 



12. That is, Jesus saw it and 
John asserts that he also saw the 
spirit. (Jno. 1:32) — "And John bare 
record saying, I saw the Spirit 
descending from heaven like a dove, 
and it abode upon him." But there 
is no record that it was visible to 
the multitude around. 

Ch. 4. A. D. 27-31. 

1. From Mark 1:12 — "And im- 
mediately the Spirit driveth him into 
the wilderness" — we infer that the 
incidents of ch. 4 began to be put 
into execution immediately after his 
baptism. 

2. In vs. 1-11 is an account of 
the temptation of Jesus. 

3. Preparatory to his great work, 
he was to be tempted, i. e., tested 
by Satan. Satan had been put ut- 
terly to rout in the trial of Job — 
now he was to be as completely 
overwhelmed by Jesus. 

4. Like as bread feeds the body, 
the word feeds the soul; being the 
heavenly manna by which God sus- 
tains our spiritual nature. 

5. Causeth him to assume a com- 
manding position that the strength 
of the temptation may have all the 
effect possible. 

6. It has ever been the pleasure 
of wicked men to quote a Scriptural 
text as a foundation or support to 
their wicked ways, and such was the 
effort of Satan when he tempted 
Jesus. Shakespeare truly says: "The 
devil can cite scriptures for his 
purpose." 

7. Christ would teach that the 
texts of the Bible are to limit, modi- 
fy or explain each other; i. e., they 
are to be interpreted in the same 
manner and spirit they were given. 

8. Satan has now made his identi- 
ty known, which was no sooner done 
than Jesus commanded him to "get 
hence" — example for all Christians. 
The 3 temptations through which 
Satan put Jesus were timely in their 
appeals to animal appetite, ambition, 
covetousness. 

9. The prelude to that final hour 
when Jesus will cast Satan into the 
lake of fire. 

10. In vs. 12-17 Jesus goes into 
Galilee. 



''hence, Sa'tan: for it is written, l Thou shalt 
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt 
thou serve. 

11 Then the devil "leaveth him, and, behold, 
■'angels came and ministered unto him. 

12 If 10 Now when Je'§us had heard that "John 
was cast into "prison, he departed into 13 Gal'- 
i-lee; 

13 And leaving "Naz'a-reth, he came and 
dwelt in ir 'Ca-per'na-um, which is upon the sea 
"coast, in the borders of Zab'u-lon and Neph'- 
tha-lim : 

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spo- 
ken by E-sa'ias the prophet, saying, 

15 The land of Zab'u-lon, and the land of 
Neph'tha-lim, by the way of the sea, beyond 
Jor'dan, Gal'i-lee of the Gen'tile§; 

16 *The 17 people which "sat in darkness saw 
great light; and to them which sat in the 
region and shadow of death light is sprung up. 

17 H From that "time Je'sus began to preach ; 
and to say, 2 ° l Repent: for the kingdom of heav- 
en is at hand. 

18 If 21 And m Je'sus, walking by the sea of 
Gal'i-lee, saw two 22 brethren, Si'mon "called 
25 Pe'ter, and 21 An'drew his brother, casting a 
net into the sea: for they were fishers. 

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and 
°I will make you fishers of men. 

20 And Pthey straightway left their nets, 
and followed him. 

21 And going on <zfrom thence, he saw other 
two brethren, Jame§ the son of Zeb'e-dee, and 
John his brother, in a ship with Zeb'e-dee 
their father, mending their nets; and he called 
them. 

22 And they immediately left the ship and 
their father, and followed him. 

23 1f ^And Je'§us went about all Gal'i-lee, 
teaching in their 'synagogues, and preaching 



11. That is. after the temptation. 

12. The ministry of Christ has 
now begun and his first miracle has 
been performed. 

13. The northern part of Pales- 
tine. 

14. That te, changing his resi- 
dence from Nazareth to Capernaum.

tali. 

18. That is, content to remain 
without the light. 

19. From the time of John's im- 
prisonment. 

20. Thus Christ took up the 
theme which John the Baptist laid 
down, viz., repentance. 



21. Vs. 18-22, the call of 4 disci- 
ples — Peter, Andrew, James and John 
— preceded by miracles. 

22. Two men radically different 
in natural characteristics — Peter, 
strong, impetuous and bold; Andrew, 
quiet, tame and reserved. 

23. The oldest, most impetuous, 
ardent, and bold of the apostles. 
After his fall 'and restoration, his 



very nature seems to have been 
changed, as a sober, quiet firmness 
supplanted his former hasty and im- 
petuous zeal. 

24. Brother of Peter and his op- 
posite in individual characteristics. 

25. In vs. 23-25 is given an ac- 
count of Christ's ministry through 
Galilee, which was the first Galilean 
circuit. 



hold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world! This 
is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before 
me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should 
be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven 
like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that 
sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom 
thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same 
is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. (Jno. 1:29-33.) 

q. Behold my servant, whom I uphold: mine elect, in whom my soul 
delighteth; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judg- 
ment to the Gentiles. (Is. 42:1.) 

r. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art 
my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Ps. 2:7.) And there came a 
voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 
(Luke 9:35.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. It shall come to pass as soon as I am gone from thee, that the 
Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not. (I Ks. 18:12.) 
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, 
in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. 
(Ez. 3:14.) 

b. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with 
the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we 
are, yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15.) Ye are they which have continued 
with me in my temptations. (Luke 22:28.) The Lord knoweth how to de- 
liver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the 
day of judgment to be punished. (II Pet. 2:9.) 

c. And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he 
did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables 
the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. (Ex. 34:28.) 

d. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, 
which is the word of God. (Eph. 8:17.) 

e. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee 
with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; 
that he might make thee' know that man doth not live by bread only, 
but bv everv word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth 
man live. (Dt. 8:3.) 

f. Awake! awake! put on thy strength. O Zion; put on thy beautiful 
garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no 
more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. (Is. 52:1.) 

g. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all 
thy ways. (Ps. 91:11.) 

h. Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in 
Mas3ah. (Dt. 6:16.) 



i. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear 
by his name. (Dt. 6:13.) 

j. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for 
them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) 

k. I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine 
hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant to the people, for 
a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the pris- 
oners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison 
house. (Is. 42:6, 7.) 

1. And as ye go, preach, saying. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
(Mat. 10:7.) Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, 
and wait on thy God continually. (Hos. 12:6.) Even from the days of 
your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept 
them. (Mai. 3:7.) I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to re- 
pentance. (Luke 5:32.) And that repentance and remission of sins 
should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusa- 
lem. (Luke 24:47.) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your 
sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from 
the presence of the Lord. (Acts 3:19.) Repent therefore of this thy 
wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may 
be forgiven thee. (Acts 8:22.) 

m. Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and 
Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 
(Mk. 1:16.) 

n. Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, 
which is, by interpretation, A stone. (Jno. 1:42.) 

o. And so was also James and John, the son of Zebedee, which 
were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from 
henceforth thou shalt catch men. (Luke 5:10.) Behold, I will send for 
many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will 
I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every moun- 
tain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. (Jer. 16:16.) 
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the 
sea, and gathered of every kind. (Mat. 13:47.) 

p. Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. (Luke 
18:28.) Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have for- 
saken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? (Mat. 19:27.) 
Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have fol- 
lowed thee. (Mk. 10:28.) 

q. And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the 
son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mend- 
ing their nets. (Mk. 1:19.) 

r. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt 
go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Ps. 32:8.) Thus saith the Lord, 
thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which

the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all man- 
ner of sickness and all manner of disease among 
the people. 

24 And his fame went throughout all Syr'- 
I-a: and they brought unto him all sick people 
that were taken with divers diseases and tor- 
ments, and those which were possessed with 
devils, and those which were lunatics, and 
those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 

25 And there followed him s great multi- 
tudes of people from Gal'i-lee, and from De- 
cap'5-lis, and from Je-ru'sa-lem, and from Ju'- 
dae'a, and from beyond Jor'dan. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 Christ beginneth his sermon in the mount: 
3 declaring ivho are blessed: 38 exhorteth 
to suffer wrong, AA to love our enemies, 48 
to labour after perfectness. 

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into 
a mountain : and when he was set, his disci- 
ples came unto him: 

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught 
them, saying, 

3 1 Blessed a are the poor in 2 spirit: for 
Hheir's is the kingdom of heaven. 

A Blessed c are they that mourn: for they 
shall be comforted. 

5 Blessed are the d meek: for c they shall in- 
herit the earth. 



Ch. 5. A. D. 31. 



1. Vs. 3-16 give the 9 beatitudes 
ami their general bearing upon the 
world. Thus Christ opens the dis- 
course upon the foundation princi- 
ples of his kingdom with a blessing. 



2. That is, a receptive spirit, a 
spirit which feels the need or neces- 
sity of Christ. 



3. That is, religious grief, peni- 
tence, a mourning on account of sin. 



4. That is, a heart cleansed of an 
evil conscience and purged of dead 
works. 



5. In this verse a blessing is 
placed upon endurance of character. 



6. In vs. 13-16 are enjoinpd duties 
upon the faithful or blessed ones. 



6 Blessed are they which do hunger and 
thirst after righteousness: if or they shall be 
filled. 

7 Blessed are the merciful: of or they shall 
obtain mercy. 

8 Blessed h are the *pure in heart: for Hhey 
shall see God. 

9 Blessed are the ^peacemakers: for they 
shall be called the children of God. 

10 Blessed k are they which are persecuted 
for righteousness' sake: for their's is the king- 
dom of heaven. 

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile 
*you, and ^persecute you, and shall say all man- 
ner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great 
is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted 
they the prophets which were before you. 

13 \"Ye are the l salt of the earth: but if 
the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall 
it be salted? it is thenceforth good for noth- 
ing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under 
foot of men. 

14 m Ye are the light of the world. A city 
that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put 
it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it 
giveth light unto all that are in the house. 

16 Let your light so shine before men, that 



teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou 
shouldest go. (Is. 48:17.) Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will 
he teach sinners iu the way. (Ps. 25:8.) And they went into Caper- 
naum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the syna- 
gogue, and taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine; for he 
taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. (Mk. 
1:21, 22.) And when, the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in 
the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From 
whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is 
given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 
(Mk. 0:2.) 

s. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) Behold, I have given him for a witness 
lo the people, a leader and commander to the people. (Is. 55:4.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a con- 
trite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Ps. 51:17.) For all those 
things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the 
Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor, and of a 
contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. (Is. 60:2.) And he lifted up 
his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the 
kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. 
Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye when 
men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their com- 
pany, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the 
Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, be- 
hold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their 
fathers unto the prophets. (Luke 6:20-23.) 

b. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto 
them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: 
for of such is the kingdom of God. (Mk. 10:14.) And he lifted up his 
eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the 
kingdom of God. (Luke 6:20.) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as 
my Father hath appointed unto me. (Luke 22:29.) Then shall the King 
say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit 
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Mat. 
25:34.) 

c. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are par- 
takers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. (II Cor. 
1:7.) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall 
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any 
more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Rev. 21:4.) To 
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of 
our God; to comfort all that mourn. (Is. 61:2.) Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: 
and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 
(Jno. 16:20.) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall 
feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and 
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev. 7:17.) If we suffer, 
we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (II 
Tim. 2:12.) He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will 
wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall 
he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 
25:8.) And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion 
with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy 
?nd gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Is. 35:10.) 

d. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight them- 
selves in the abundance of peace. (Ps. 37:11.) But let it he the hidden 
man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament 
of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 
(I Pet. 3:4.) The meek will he guide in judgment; and the meek will 
he teach his way. (Ps. 25:9.) The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they 
shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. (Ps. 
22:26.) The Lord lifteth up the m.eek: he casteth the wicked down to 
the ground. (Ps. 147:6.) For the Lord taketh pleasure in his* people: he 
will beautify the meek with salvation. (Ps. 149:4.) 

e. The promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not 
to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteous- 
ness of faith. (Rom. 4:13.) 



f. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat, 
but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall 
be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed. 
(Is. 65:13.) Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he 
that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and 
milk without money, and without price. Wherefore do ye spen^ money 
for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth 
not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let 
your soul delight itself in fatness. (Is. 55:1, 2.) But whosoever drink- 
eth of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water 
that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into 
everlasting life. (Jno. 4:14.) I am that bread of life. (Jno. 6:48.) 

g. I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have 
sinned against thee. (Ps. 41:4.) For he shall have judgment without 
mercy, that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judg- 
ment. (Js. 2:13.) He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth: but he that 
hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. (Prov. 14:21.) But to do good and 
to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 
(Heb. 13:16.) Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy 
neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favor 
and good_ understanding in the sight of God and man. (Prov. 3:3, 4.) 

h. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man 
shall see the Lord. (Heb. 12:14.) Who shall ascend into the hill of the 
Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, 
and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor 
sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and 
righteousness from the God of his salvation. (Ps. 24:3-5.) Beloved, now 
are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: 
but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we 
shall see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) And they shall see his face; and his 
name shall be in their foreheads. (Rev. 22:4.) 

i. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: 
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 
(I Cor. 13:12.) Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it doth not 
yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, 
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man 
that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. (I 
Jno. 3:2, 3.) 

j. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man 
shall see the Lord. (Heb. 12:14.) For as many as are led by the Spirit 
of God, they are the sons of God. (Rom. 8:14.) But love ye your en- 
emies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your re- 
ward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he 
is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. (Luke 6:35.) Salt is good; 
but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have 
salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. (Mk. 9:50.) Deceit 
is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace 
is joy. (Prov. 12:20.) Behold what manner of love the Father hath 
bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God! therefore 
the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not (1). Marvel not, my 
brethren, if the world hate you. (I Jno. 3:1, 13.) 

k. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for 
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (II Cor. 4:17.) If 
we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will 
deny us. (II Tim. 2:12.) But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, 
happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled. (I 
Pet. 3:14.) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed 
be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. (Luke 6:20.) 

1. Salt is good; but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will 
ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. 
(Mk. 9:50.) Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, 
that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. (Col. 4:6.) Salt 
is good; but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be sea- 
soned? (Luke 14:34.) 

m. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, with- 
out rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among 
whom ye shine as lights in the world. (Phil. 2:15.) For ye were some- 
times darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of 
light. (Eph. 5:8.) And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest 
be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the pre-

"they may see your good works, and "glorify 
your Father which is in heaven. 

17 \ 'Think Pnot that I am come to destroy 
the Haw, or the ^prophets: I am not come to 
destroy, but to "fulfil. 

18 For verily I say unto you, iTill heaven 
and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no 
wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 

19 ^Whosoever ''therefore shall break one of 
these least commandments, and- shall teach men 
so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom 
of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach 
them, the same shall be called great in the 
kingdom of heaven. 

20 For I say xinto you, That except your 
righteousness shall exceed s the righteousness 
of the scribes and Phar'i-sees, ye shall in no 
case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

21 "If Ye have heard that it was said by them 
of old time, Thou shalt hiot kill; and whoso- 
ever shall kill shall be in danger "of the judg- 
ment : 

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever v is 
angry with his ^brother without a 12 cause shall 
be in danger u of the judgment: and ivhosoever 
shall say to his brother, 13 Raca, shall be in 
danger of the council: but whosoever shall say,

23 Therefore if thou bring thy 15 gift to the 
altar, and there ^rememberest that thy brother 
hath ought against thee; 

24 Leave there thy gift before ls the altar, 
and go thy way; first be reconciled a 'to thy 
brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

whiles z thou art in the way with him; lest at 
any time the adversary deliver thee to the

7. In vs. 17-20 Jesus declares that 
his mission is a fulfillment of the 
inner or true spirit of Judaism — 
the Mosaic Law and the Prophets. 

8. The law, Jehovah's command- 
ments, the prophecies, Jehovah's 
promises and threatenings. 

9. The law or commands of right 
doing are perpetual and shall remain 
forever. The prophets have their 
authority estahlished forever by the 
fulfillments of their prophecies. 

10. Christ further regards the law 
manifested through whosoever to the 
least. 

11. Not a blood relative, but any- 
one. 

12. That is, rashly, vainly, with- 
out justification. 

13. A Syriac word, meaning block- 
head; here used as a symbol of those 
who would attempt to destroy one's 
intellectual reputation. 

14. The Scriptural definition for 
fool is, impious, morally depraved, 
and therefore intellectually defec- 
tive; used here as a symbol for 
those who would destroy one's moral 
reputation. 

15. An Old Testament symbol of 
drawing nigh to God. Remember, i. e., 
give a close self-examination. 

16. Effort is first necessary upon 
our part that Jehovah may take up 
our conditions and remove the taint 
of evil from which we desire to be 
freed, such desire evidenced by first 
becoming reconciled to all between 
whom and ourselves there may exist 
a discord. 

17. Thy opponent at law — this 
stands as a symbol for our offended 
God; quickly for our brief period of 
life as compared with eternity; the 
way for the journey of human life; 
the judge for the Son of Man; prison, 
for the symbol of hell. 

18. That is. a feeling or desire of 
the heart which lacks only the op- 
portunity for guilt to render it such. 

19. Entice, seduce, entrap. The 
meaning is. thy affections for lust 
and forbidden things must be sacri- 
ficed, no matter at what cost. 

20. As all things are the Lord's, 
it is the same' as if the oath were 
made to him. 

21. That is. be moderate and tem- 
perate in thy obligations. 



no means come out thence, till thou hast paid 
the uttermost farthing. 

27 If Ye have heard that it was said by them 
of old time, Thou shalt not bb commit adultery: 

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever 
^looketh cc on a woman to lust after her hath 
committed adultery with her already in his 
heart. 

29 And if thy right eye ^offend thee, pluck 
it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable 
for thee that one of thy members should perish, 
and not that thy whole body should be cast 
into hell. 

30 And if thy right hand ^offend thee, cut 
it off, and cast it from thee : for it is profitable 
for thee that one of thy members should perish, 
and not that thy whole body should be cast 
into hell. 

31 It hath been said, d4 Whosoever shall put 
away his wife, let him give her a writing of 
divorcement: 

32 But I say unto you, That ee whosoever 
shall put away his wife, saving for the cause 
of fornication, causeth her to commit adidtery: 
and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced 
committeth adultery. 

33 f Again, ye have heard that it hath been 
said by them of old time, ffThou shalt not for- 
swear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord 
thine oaths: 

34 But I say unto you, saSwear not at all; 
neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 

35 Nor by '"the earth; for it is his footstool: 
neither by Je-ru'sa-lem; for it is the city of the 
great King. 

36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, 
because thou canst not make'one hair white or 
black. 

37 H But let your communication be, 21 Yea, 
yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than 
these cometh of evil. 



served of Israel; I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that 
thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. (Is. 49:6.) In 
him was life; and the life was the light of men. (Jno. 1:4.) 

B. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles; that, where- 
as they speak against you as evil doers, they may by your good works, 
which "they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. (I Pet. 
2:12.) 

o. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall 
ye be my disciples. (Jno. lo:8.) Being filled with the fruits of right- 
eousness," which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. 
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things w-hich hap- 
pen unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the Gospel. 
(Phil. 1:11, 12.) Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, 
do all to the glory of God. (I Cor. 10:31.) 

p. The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will 
magnify the law, and make it honorable. (Is. 42:21.) For Christ is the 
end of the law for righteousness to every one that belleveth. (Rom. 10:4.) 
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that 
we might be justified by faith. (Gal. 3:24.) 

q. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of 
the Law to fail. (Luke 16:17.) The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; 
but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (Is. 40:8.) But the word 
of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gos- 
pel is preached unto you. (I Pet. 1:25.) 

r. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one 
point, he is guilty of all. (Js. 2:10.) Cursed be he that confirmeth not 
all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, 
Amen. (Dt. 27:26.) 

s. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about 
to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves 
unto the righteousness of God. (Rom. 10:3.) 

t. Thou shalt not kill. (Ex. 20:13.) 

u. Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall 
judge the people with just judgment. (Dt. 16:18.) And he set judges in 
the land, throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city. (II 
Chr. 19:5.) 

v. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that 
no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (I Jno. 3:15.) 

w. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill 
the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and 
body in hell. (Mat. 10:28.) And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, 
and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one 
eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Mat. 18:9.) 
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea 
and land to make one proselyte; and when be is made, ye make him two- 
told more the child of hell than yourselves (15). Ye serpents, ye gener- 
ation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Mat. 23:15, 
33.) And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter 
into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire 
that never shall be quenched. (Mk. 9:43.) But I will forewarn you whom 
ve shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast 
into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him (Luke 12:5) And the tongue 
is a flre, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that 
it defileth the whole body, "and setteth on fire the course of nature; and 
it is 6et on flre of hell. (Js. 3:6.) 

X. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, 



giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being 
heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 
(I Pet. 3:7.) 

y. Acquaint now thyself- with him, and be at peace: thereby good 
shall come unto thee. (Job 22:21.) When thou goest with thine ad- 
versary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that 
thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and 
the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 
(Luke 12:58.) 

z. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time 
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they 
shall not come nigh unto him. (Ps. 32:6.) Seek ye the Lord while he 
may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. (Is. 55:6.) 

aa. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the 
presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. (II Thess. 1:9.) 

bb. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put 
asunder. (Mk. 10:9.) Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them 
committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. (I Cor. 10:8.) 
Thou shalt not commit adultery. (Ex. 20:14.) Neither shalt thou commit 
adultery. (Dt. 5:18.) And it was told him by certain, which said, Thy 
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. (Luke 
8:20.) For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, 
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not 
covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly compre- 
hended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 
(Rom. 13:9.) And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that 
toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. (Gen. 26:11.) 

cc. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take 
thee with her eyelids. (Prov. 6:25.) For all that is in the world, the lust 
of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the 
Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust 
thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (I Jno. 
2:16, 17.) Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whore- 
mongers and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

dd. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come 
to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some 
uncleanness in her, then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and 
give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. (Dt. 24:1.) 

ee. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and 
cleave to his wife (7). And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put 
away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 
(Mk. 10:7, 11.) And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the 
Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, 
let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not 
the husband put away his wife. (I Cor. 7:10, 11.) Whosoever putteth 
away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and who- 
soever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adul- 
tery. (Luke 16:18.) 

ff. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many 
crowns; and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself. 
(Rev. 19:12.) 

gg. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, 
neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; 
and your nay, nay: lest ye fall into condemnation. (Js. 5:12.) 

hh. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and under- 
standeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that

38 II Ye have heard that it hath been said. 
u An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 

39 But I say unto you, HThat ye '^resist not 
evil: ll 'but ivhosoever shall smite thee on thy 
right a cheek, turn to him the other also. 

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, 
and take away thy coat, let him have thy 
cloke also. 

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a 
mile, go with him twain.

him that would borrow of thee turn not thou

43 If Ye have heard that it hath been said, 
mm Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate 
thine enemy. 

44 But I say unto you, 2i Love nn your ene- 
mies, bless them that curse you, do good to 
"them that hate you, and u pray 00 for them 
which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 

45 ^That ye may be the children of your Fa- 
ther which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun 
to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth 
rain on the just and on the unjust. 

46 PPFor if ye love them which love you, 
what reward have ye? do not even the pub- 
licans the same? 

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what 
do ye more than others? do not even the pub- 
licans so? 

48 viBe ye ^therefore perfect, even as your 
Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Christ speaking of alms, 5 prayer, 14 for- 
giving our brethren, 16 fasting, 19 our 
treasure, 24 of serving God, and mammon: 
25 exhorteth not to be careful for worldly 
things: 33 but to seek God's kingdom.

22. That is, retaliate. Nowhei-e 
does the religion of Christ condemn 
or prevent a right action or use of 
any of our primary instincts. The 
instinct of self-preservation is di- 
vine, i. e., is divinely given; there- 
fore no ban is placed upon its right- 
ful use, but retaliation or revenge, 
in order to inflict pain upon another, 
is forbidden . 

23. The two symbols of this verse 
taken together mean that the proper 
way of treating an assailant is not 
to make a forced issue with him, 
but to be discreet and disarm him 
in an unexpected way for which he 
is unfortified. 

24. In other words, though they 
are our enemies, there is no reason 
why we should not desire their hap- 
piness, and the best way of showing 
this desire is to seek a method of 
removing their evil disposition. 

25. That is, God our Father we 
may and should imitate, but God the 
Judge we must not. To him and 
him alone, vengeance belongs, and, 
when the proper time comes, when 
the day is ripe, it will be rendered. 

26. The Greek verb here ren- 
dered "Be ye" really is, *'Ye shall 
be," therefore meaning that if we 
disregard the low, groveling morality 
around us, refuse to be influenced by 
it, but strive to relieve it, obey the 
law, seek the power of love in our 
hearts and obey its leadings, we 
shall be perfect even as our Heaven- 
ly Father is perfect. 

Ch. 6. A. D. 31. 

1. This ch is a continuation of 
the Sermon on the Mount. In this 
division of it "the Lord shows the 
difference between doing alms, prayer 
and fasting openly before men, for 
human eyes and ears, and in doing 
it sincerely before Jehovah. 

2. Admonitions to * sincerity in 
prayer. 

3. A symbol for secrecy; also fig. 
used for the innermost and secret 
desire of the heart, which may be 
the closet of prayer, though one is in 
the midst of a great crowd. 

4. The second caution against the 
lack of sincerity in prayer. 

5. In the prayer here taught us 
there is not a word used which is 
not full of meaning intended for a 



men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no 
reward of your Father which is in heaven. 

2 Therefore "when thou doest thine alms, do 
not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypo- 
crites do in the synagogues and in the streets, 
that they may have glory of men. Verily 1 
say unto you, They have their reward. 

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left 
hand know what thy right hand doeth: 

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy 
Father which seeth in secret himself shall re- 
ward thee openly. 

5 If And when thou *prayest, thou shalt not 
be as the hypocrites are : for they love to pray 
standing in the synagogues and in the corners 
of the streets, that they may be seen of men. 
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter Hnto 
z thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, 
pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy 
Father c which seeth in secret shall reward thee 
openly. 

7 But when ye pray, &use not 4 vain repeti- 
tions, as the heathen do: for they think that 
they shall be heard for their much speaking. 

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for 
your e Father knoweth what things ye have 
need of, before ye ask him. 

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: s Our 
f Father "which art in heaven, shallowed be thy 
name. 

10 h Thy ''kingdom come. Thy will be done 
in earth, i as it is in heaven. 

11 Give us Hhis day our daily s bread. 

12 And forgive us our °debts, as we forgive 
our debtors. 

13 k And w lead us not into temptation, but 
deliver l us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 

14 For m if ye forgive -men their trespasses, 
your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 



purpose. "Our Father" is a con- 
demnation of Etheoism, which teaches 
there is no God; of Pantheism, that 
God is not a person, but rather iden- 
tical with nature; of Epicureanism, 
that God cares naught for his crea- 
tures; of Polytheism, that there are 
many gods. Here Christ teaches that 



there is but one God and he is our 
Father. 

6. That is, infinitely superior to 
all things else — he is our Father in 
heaven. "Hallowed be thy name" — ■ 
that is, thy very name is held sacred 
and uttered with the profoundest 
revfrence. 



7. Have dominion over all hearts 
and souls, "Come" — by our permis- 
sion and desire. "Thy will be done" 
— i. e., thy laws obeyed. 

8. Needs of life. 

9. That is, because of our offences 
we owe satisfaction, hence they are 
debts — debts of repentance and right- 



eousness, which we promise to pay 
as fully and freely as we ask for the 
blessing of heaven. 

10. That is, do not let us stray 
or purposely walk into trials "which 
may endanger our souls; "but deliver 
us from evil"— that is, give us 
strength to overcome evil. 



which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the 
wayside. (Mat. 13:19.) I pray not that thou shouldest take them out 
of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (Jno. 
17:15.) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be 
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Eph. 6:16.) 

ii. Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused 
a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. (Lev. 24:20.) 

jj. Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and 
he shall save thee. (Prov. 20:22.) Recompense to no man evil for evil. 
Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (Rom. 12:17.) See that 
none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is 
good, both among yourselves, and to all men. (I Thess. 5:15.) Not ren- 
dering evil for evil or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; 
knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 
(I Pet. 3:9.) 

kk. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (Is. 
50:6.) 

11. Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely 
lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. (Dt. 15:8.) 
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? 
for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. (Luke 6:34.) 

mm. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grude against the children 
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord. 
(Lev. 19:18.) 

nn. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be 
thirsty, give him water to drink. (Prov. 25:21.) Bless them which per- 
secute you; bless, and curse not. (Rom. 12:14.) But I say unto you 
which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you. (Luke 
6:27.) And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not 
this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 
(Acts 7:60.) Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy 
neighbor as thyself. (Mat. 19:19.) Beloved, let us love one another: 
for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and know- 
eth God. (I Jno. 4:7.) 

00. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what 
they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 23:34.) And 
he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to 
their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. (Acts 7:60.) 

pp. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for 
sinners also love those that love them. (Luke 6:32.) 

qq. For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify your- 
selves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile your- 
selves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 
(Lev. 11:44.) But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be 
perfect and entire, wanting nothing, (Js. 1:4.) But as be which hath 



called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. (I Pet. 
1:15.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do 
it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, 
with cheerfulness. (Rom. 12:8.) 

b. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and 
prayed unto the Lord. (II Ks. 4:33.) 

c. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; 
and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Is. 65:24.) I the Lord 
search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to 
his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 17:10.) And I 
will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that 
I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto 
every one of you according to your works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

d. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to 
utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; 
therefore let thy words be few. (Ecc. 5:2.) 

e. Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising, thou under- 
standest my thought afar off. (Ps. 139:2.) 

f. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which 
art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be 
done, as in heaven, so in earth. (Luke 11:2.) 

g. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his 
covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. (Ps. 111:9.) And one 
cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the 
whole earth is full of his glory. (Is. 6:3.) 

h. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand 
(Mat. 3:2.) 

i. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excell in strength, that do his 
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. (Ps. 103:20.) 

j. Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor 
riches; feed me with food convenient for me. (Prov. 30:8.) 

k. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit 
indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Mat. 26:41.) There hath no 
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faith- 
ful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but 
will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be 
able to bear it. (I Cor. 10:13.) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the 
godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of 
judgment to be punished. (II Pet. 2:9.) 

I. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but 
that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (Jno. 17:15.) But let your 
communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than 
these cometh of evil. (Mat. 5:37.)

15 But "if ye forgive not men their tres- 
passes, neither will your Father forgive your 
trespasses. 

16 1 Moreover "when ye fast, be not, as the 
hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they dis- 
figure their faces, that they may appear unto 
men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have 
their reward. 

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine 
head, and wash thy face; 

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, 
but unto thy Father which is in secret: and 
thy Father, ivhich seeth in secret, shall reward 
thee openly. 

19 II PLay not up for yourselves "treasures 
upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, 
and where thieves break through and steal: 

20 iBut lay up for yotirselves treasures in 
heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth cor- 
rupt, and where thieves do not break through 
nor steal: 

21 For where r your treasure is, there will 
your heart be also. 

22 s The flight of the body is the eye: if 
therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body 
shall be full of light. 

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body 
shall be full of darkness. If therefore the 
light that is in thee be darkness, t how great is 
that darkness! 

24 \\ ls No u man can serve two masters : for 
either he will hate the one, and love the other; 
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the 
other. x Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

25 Therefore I say unto you, u 'Take no 
thought for your life, "what ye shall eat, or 
what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, 
what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than 
meat, and the body than raiment? 



11. Not riches simply, but the 
thing which we hold to be our main 
or principal good, that upon which 
is centered our predominant affection, 
therefore which holds the aim of our 
life. 

12. The lamp, the reflector, the 
revealer. 

13. In vs. 24-34 Christ declares 
that the world stands not in the at- 
titude of competition with God. 

14. That is, full of care about the 
things we cannot control, but rather 
do our duty and trust Jehovah. 
Heaven is pledged to the fulfillment 
of the trust. 

15. Dsed here as an illustration 
of those who are industrious, who 
do their full duty and God takes 
care of them. 

16. That is, we should not be so- 
licitous of, nor fearful of the results 
which come within the prerogative 
of God. Ii: is our duty to use the 
means given us and thus endeavor 
to provide food and all comforts of 
life, but trustfully leave the fulfill- 
ment to God, who careth for all. 

17. That is, God is supreme and 
things earthly subordinate. Seek first 
the supreme, and the subordinates 
will follow. 

18. That is, desire the supremacy 
of God. 

19. In other words, do your whole 
duty today, discharge your obliga- 
tions as laid upon you by the will of 
heaven, and the morrow will be a 
messenger from God, which will bring 
its blessings to take care of you. 

Ch. 7. A. D. 31. 

1. In vs. 1-6 we are forbidden to 
usurp or to appropriate unto our- 
selves God's place as judge. 

2. That i-f God will apply the 
standard of judgment to us which 
we apply to others, the lesson so 
constantly hurled down through the 
course of the Israelitish way from 
Sinai to the last of the prophets, 
viz.. thine own works form the stand- 
ard or measure of thy reward or 
punishment. 



26 Behold x the " 'fowls of the air: for they 
sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into 
barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. 
Are ye not much better than they? 

27 Which of you by ^taking thought can add 
m one cubit unto his stature? 

28 And why take ye ^thought for raiment? 
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; 
they toil not, neither do they spin: 

29 And yet I say unto you, That even z Sol'o- 
mon in all his glory was not arrayed like one 
of these. 

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of 
the field, ivhich to day is, and to morrow is cast 
into the oven, shall he not much more clothe 
you, aa O ye of little faith? 

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What 
shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, 
Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 

32 (For after all these things do the Oen'- 
tiles seek:) for bi your heavenly Father knoiv- 
eth that ye have need of all these things. 

33 cc But ^seek ye first the kingdom "of God, 
and his righteousness; and dd all these things 
shall be added unto you. 

34 Take therefore Vi no thought for the mor- 
row: for the morrow shall take thought for the 
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the 
evil thereof .- 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Christ ending his sermon in the mount, re- 
proveth rash judgment, 7 exhorteth to 
prayer, 13 to enter in at the strait gate, 
15 and to beware of false prophets. 

1 1 Judge "not, that ye be not judged. 

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall 
'be judged: l and with what measure ye mete, 
it shall be measured to you again. 



other, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Eph. 4:32.) 
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any; that 
your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 
(Mk. 11:25.) So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if 
ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. 
(Mat. 18:35.) 

n. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye 
from your heart forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. 
(Mat. "18:35.) He shall have judgment without mercy that hath shown 
no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. (Js. 2:13.) 

0. Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict 
his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sack- 
cloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable 
day to the Lord? (Is. 58:5.) 

p. Labor not to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom. (Prov. 23:4.) 
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, 
nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us rich- 
ly all things to enjoy. (I Tim. 6:17.) Let your conversation be with- 
out covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he 
hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Heb. 13:5.) 

q. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the 
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. (I Tim. 6:19.) 
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, 
reserved in heaven for you. (I Pet. 1:4.) 

r. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Luke 
12:34.) 

s. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is sin- 
gle, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy 
body also is full of darkness. (Luke 11:34.) 

t. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, 
neither were thankful: but became vain in their imaginations, and their 
foolish heart was darkened. (Rom. 1:21.) In whom the god of this 
world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light 
of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine 
unto them. (II Cor. 4:4.) 

u. No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 
Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Luke 16:13.) 

v. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? 
for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. (Gal. 
1:10.) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship 
of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend 
of the world is the enemy of God. (Js. 4:4.) Love not the world, neither 
the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of 
the Father is not in him. (I Jno. 2:15.) 

w. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and sup- 
plication with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God. (Phil. 
4:6.) 

x. Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry 
unto God, they wander for lack of meat. (Job 38:41.) He giveth to the 
beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. (Ps. 147:9.) 

y. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art 
careful and troubled about many things. (Luke 10:41.) And when they 
bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take 
ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say 
(111. And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you. Take 
no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what 
ye shall put on. (Luke 12:11, 22.) Be careful for nothing; but in every 
thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be 



made known unto God. (Phil. 4:6.) Casting all your care upon him; for 
he careth for you. (I Pet. 5:7.) 

2. And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, 
and the house that he had built, And the meat of his table, and the 
sitting of his servants, and the attendants of his ministers, and their 
apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto 
the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her. And she said to 
the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy 
acts, and of thy wisdom. Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, 
and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half was not told me: thy 
wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard. (I Ks. 10:4-7.) 

aa. And he saith unto the^n, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little 
faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there 
was a great calm. (Mat. 8:26.) And immediately Jesus- stretched forth 
his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, 
wherefore didst thou doubt? (Mat. 14:31.) Which when Jesus perceived, 
he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, 
because ye have brought no bread? (Mat. 16:8.) 

bb. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches 
in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19.) 

cc. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both 
riches and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings like 
unto thee all thy days. (I Ks. 3:13.) The young lions do lack, and suf- 
fer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. 
(Ps. 34:10.)" But rather seek ye the kingdom of God: and all these things 
shall be added unto you. (Luke 12:31.) For bodily exercise profiteth 
little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, haying promise of the 
life -that now is, and of that which is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) Ask, and 
it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be 
opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And they that know thy name will put 
their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek 
thee. (Ps. 9:10.) 

dd. And Jesus said unto them. Verily I say unto you, That ye which 
have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit 
in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging 
the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mat. 19:28.) And Jesus answered and said. 
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, 
or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my 
sake, and the Gospel's. (Mk. 10:29.) And he said unto them. Verily I 
say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or 
brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake. (Luke 
18:29.) For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto 
all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is 
to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that 
judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; 
for thou that judgest doest the same things. (Rom. 2:1.) Who art thou 
that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or 
falleth. (Rom. 14:4.) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that 
speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of 
the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a 
doer of the law, but a judge. (Js. 4:11.) 

b. And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their 
thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: 
as I have done, so God hath requitpd me. And they brought him to 
Jerusalem, and there he died. (Jud. 1:7.) And ho saith unto them. Take 
heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to 
you; and unto you that hear shall more be given. (Mk. 4:24.) Give,

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let 
me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, be-

16 Ye shall know "them by their fruits. Do 
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 

17 Even so "every good tree bringeth forth 
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth 
evil fruit. 

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, 
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good 
fruit. 

19 PEvery tree that bringeth not forth good 
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know 
them. 

21 IT Not every one that saith unto me, iLord, 
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; 
but he that doeth the will of my Father which 
is in heaven. 

22 Many will say to me in that "day, Lord, 
Lord, have we r not prophesied in thy name? 
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in 
thy name done many wonderful works? 

23 And then will I profess unto them, "I 
never knew you: s depart from me, ye that 
work iniquity. 

24 II Therefore i whosoever heareth these say- 
ings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him 
unto a wise man, which built his house upon a 
rock : 

25 And the rain descended, and the floods 
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 
house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon 
a rock. 

26 And every one that heareth these sayings 
of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened 
unto a foolish man, which built his house upon 
the sand: 

27 And the rain descended, and the floods 
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 
house; and it fell: u and great was the fall of it. 

28 And it came to pass, when Je'sus had 



and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, and shaken 
together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with 
the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 
(Luke 6:38.) 

c. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, 
but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (Luke 6:41.) 

d. Speak not in the ears of a fool; for he will despise the wisdom 
of thy words. (Prov. 23:9.) 

e. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are 
open unto their cry. (Ps. 34:15.) If ye abide in me, and my words abide 
in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (Jno. 
15:7.) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all 
men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (Js. 1:5.) 

f. I love them that love me: and those that seek me early shall find 
me. (Prov. 8:17.) And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall 
search for me with all your heart. (Jer. 29:13.) 

g. Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have 
compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I 
not forget thee. (Is. 49:15.) 

h. As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them 
likewise. (Luke 6:31.) 

1. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children 
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Lev. 19:18.) 
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth 
another hath fulfilled the law. (Rom. 13:8.) For all the law is fulfilled 
in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Gal. 
5:14.) Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, 
and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. (I Tim. 1:5.) 

]. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, 
will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. (Luke 13:24.) And we 
know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. (I 
Jno. 5:19.) 

k. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the 
prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a 
vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. (Jer. 
23:16.) Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these 
things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 
(Eph. 5:6.) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and 
vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, 
an£ not after Christ. (Col. 2:8.) But there were false prophets also 
among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who 
privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that 
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) 

1. Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people 
err, that bite with their teeth, and cry. Peace; and he that putteth not 
into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. (Mie. 3:5.) Hav- 
ing a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn 
away. (II Tim. 3:5.) 

m. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves 
enter in among you, not sparing the flock. (Acts 20:29.) Her princes in 
the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and 
to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. (Ez. 22:27.) But he that is an 
hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the 
wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth 
them, and scattereth the sheep. (Jno. 10:12.) 



n. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men 
do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. (Luke 
6:44.) Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the 
tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 
(Mat. 12:33.) Can the fig tree, my brethren, hear olive berries? either a 
vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. (Js. 3:12.) 

o. But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; 
and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us 
destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the 
land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. (Jer. 
11:19.) 

p. And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore 
every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast 
into the fire. (Mat. 3:10.) Then said he unto the dresser of his vine- 
yard. Behold, These three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, 
and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? (Luke 13.7.) 

q. Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. (Hos. 8:2.) 
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the 
law shall be justified.) (Rom. 2:13.) But be ye doers of the word, and 
not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (Js. 1:22.) And why call 
ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Luke 6:46.) 

r. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, 
he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation. (Jno. 11:51.) And 
though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and 
all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove 
mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. (I Cor. 13:2.) When 
once the Master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and 
ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, 
open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not 
whence ye are. (Luke 13:25.) 

s. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath 
heard the voice of my weeping. (Ps. 6:8.) Then shall he say also unto 
them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, 
prepared for the devil and his angels. (Mat. 25:41.) But he shall say, 
I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye work- 
ers of iniquity. (Luke 13:27.) 

t. Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth 
them, I will show you to whom he is like: he is like a man which built 
an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when 
the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could 
not shake it; for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and 
doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon 
the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and im- 
mediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. (Luke 6:47-49.) 
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own 
selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like 
unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth 
himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of 
man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and 
continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the 
work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (Js. 1:22-25.) 

u. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 
(Heb. 10:31.)

ended these sayings, the 'people were aston- 
ished at his doctrine: 

29 ,r For he T taught them as one having au- 
thority, and not as the scribes. 

CHAPTER 8. 
2 Christ cleanseth the leper, 5 healeth the 
centurion's servant, 14 Peter's mother in 
law, 16 and many diseased: 18 sheweth 
how he is to be followed: 23 stilleth the 
tempest, 28 driveth the devils out of two 
men possessed, 31 and suffereth them to go 
into the swine. 

1 'When he was come down from the moun- 
tain, great multitudes followed him. 

2 And, behold, there came a leper and wor- 
shipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou 
canst make me clean. 

3 And Je'sus put forth his hand, and 
touched him, saying, / ivill; be thou clean. 
And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 

4 And Je'sus saith unto him, See thou tell 
no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the 
priest, and offer the gift that "Mo'se§ com- 
manded, for a testimony unto them. 

5 IT And when Je'sus was entered into *Ca- 
per'na-um, there came unto him a centurion, 
beseeching him, 

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at 
home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 

7 And Je'§us saith unto him, / will come and 
heal him. 

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, 
6 I am not worthy that thou shouldest come 
under my roof: but c speak the word only, and 
my servant shall be healed. 

9 For I am a man under authority, having 
soldiers under me; and I say to this man, Go, 
and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he 
cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he 
doeth it. 

10 When Je'sus heard it, he marvelled, and 
said to them that followed, Verily I say unto 
you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in 
Is'ra-el. 

11 And I say unto you, d That many shall 
come from the east and west, and shall sit 
down with A'brd-ham, and I'saac, and Jd'cob, 
in the kingdom of heaven. 

12 But e the children of the kingdom f shall 
be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be 
weeping and gnashing of teeth. 



7. In an authoritative manner, 
with whom there was no variable- 
ness. In this sermon are embraced 
all the principles of the kingdom of 
Christ, save the Atonement, which 
cannot be presented until completed 
in his death and resurrection. 

Ch. 8. A. D. 31. 

1. In ehs. 8. 9 are recorded the 
10 miracles which Matthew seems to 
have selected as specimens or exam- 
ples of Christ's works. In the Ser- 
mon on the Mount, Christ was pre- 
sented as the great teacher; in chs. 
S and 9, he is presented as a re- 
former, through and by which the 
divinity of his teachings are demon- 
strated. 

2. In vs. 2-4 is an account of the 
first miracle of the ch. — the cleans- 
ing of the leper. 

3. In vs. 5-13 is an account of 
the second miracle of the ch. — the 
healing of the centurion's servant. 

4. After the Sermon on the 
Mount, he entered into Capernaum. 

5.. In vs. 14. 15 is an account of 
:the third miracle of the en — the 
healing of Peter's mother-in-law. 

6. Mark says that Christ grasped 
her hand and raised her up. Luke 
says that he rebuked the disease. 
Thus, while each presents a different 
view, neither contradicts the other. 

7. In vs. 18-27 "is an account of 
the fourth miracle of the ch. — the 
stilling of the tempest on Lake Gen- 
nesaret. 

8. In vs. 19-22 it should be ob- 
served that Mat. represents our Lord 
in the selection of his disciples as 
drawing a contrast between two 
men — the one, a scribe of much abili- 
ty, offers himself but is not ac- 
cepted; while the other, who was 
chosen, tries to enter an excuse, but 
is retained. Luke gives another in- 
stance where a man allows a small 
cause to interpose as a postponement 
aud the Lord rejects him. 

9. The title to designate the hu- 
manity of Christ. This title is men- 
tioned 71 times in the New Testa- 
ment and in every instance, save 
one. by Christ himself. The excep- 
tion was by Stephen the Martyr. 
(Acts 7:56) — "And said. Behold, I see 
the heavens opened, and the Son of 
man standing on the right hand of 
God." 

10. The disciples. 

11. In vs. 28-34 is an account of 
the fifth miracle, the healing of the 
two demoniacs. 



13 And Je'sus said unto the centurion, Go 
thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it 
done unto thee. And his servant was healed in 
the selfsame hour. 
_ 14 If And ffwhen Je'§us was come into Pe'- 
ter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and 
sick of a fever. 

15 And he "touched her hand, and the fever 
left her': and she arose, and ministered unto 
them. 

16 If When ''the even was come, they brought 
unto him many that were possessed with dev- 
ils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, 
and healed all that were sick: 

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spo- 
ken by E-sa'ias the prophet, saying, Himself 
'took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 

18 If 7 Now when Je'sus saw great multitudes 
about him, he gave commandment to depart 
unto the other side. 

19 s And i& certain scribe came, and said 
unto him, Master, I will follow thee whitherso- 
ever thou goest. 

20 And Je'§us saith unto him, The foxes 
have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; 
but Hhe s Son of man hath not where to lay his 
head. 

21 And another of his disciples said unto 
him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my 
father. 

22 But Je'sus said unto him, Follow me; 
and let the dead bury their dead. 

23 II And when he was entered into a ship, 
his disciples followed him. 

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest 
in the sea, insomuch that the ship was cov- 
ered with the waves: but he was asleep. 

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke 
him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 

26 And he saith unto them, 1 Why are ye 
fearful, ye of little faith? Then '"he arose, 
and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there 
was a great calm. 

27 But the "men marvelled, saying, What 
manner of man is this, that even the winds 
and the sea obey him! 

n 28 If And "when he was come to the other 
side into the country of the Ger'ge-.sene§, there 
met him two possessed with devils, coming out 
of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man 
might pass by that way. 

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What 



v. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the 
synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From 
whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is 
given unto him. that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 
(Mk. 6:2.) And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was 
with power. (Luke 4:32.) The officers answered, Never man spake like 
this man. (Jno. 7:46.) 

w. The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. (Jno. 
7:46.) 

Chapter S. 

a. And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest 
shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; 
Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed 
two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. 
(Lev. 14:3, 4.) 

b. And am do more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one 
of thy hired servants. (Luke 15:19.) 

c. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their 
destructions. (Ps. 107:20.) 

d. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth 
thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen. 12:3.) 
For from the rising of the sun, even unto the going down of the same, 
my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense 
shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall 
be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 1:11.) And 
they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, 
and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. (Luke 
13:29.) 

e. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken 
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Mat. 
21:43.) 

f. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing 
and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 13:42.) And cast ye the unprofitable 
servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of 
teeth. (Mat. 25:30.) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own 
ehame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness 
for ever. fjiidf 13 i 

g. And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's 
house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever: and 
th^y besought him for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked the 



fever; and it left her. And immediately she arose and ministered unto 
them. Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with 
divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every 
one of them, and healed them. And devils also came out of many, cry- 
ing out, and saying, Thou art Christ, the Son of God. And he, rebuk- 
ing them, suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 
(Luke 4:38-41.) And forthwith, when they were come out of the syna- 
gogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James 
and John. But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon 
they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted 
her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto 
them. And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all 
that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all 
the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that 
were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils: and suffered not 
the devils to speak, because they knew him. (Mk. 1:29-34.) 

h. And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all 
that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. (Mk. 
1:32.) ■ 

i. Surely he hath borne cur griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we 
did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Is. 53:4.) Who 
his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being 
dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were 
healed. (I Pet. 2:24.) 

j. And It came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain 
man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 
(Luke 9:57.) 

k. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and de- 
spised of the people. (Ps. 22:6.) He is despised and rejected of men; a 
man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our 
faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:3.) 
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world 
knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 
(Jno. 1:10, 11.) 

1. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and sup- 
plication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 
(Phil. 4:6.) 

m. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are 
still. (Ps. 107:29.) He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry. (Nab. 1:4.) 

n. And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the coun- 
try of the Gadarenes. (Mk. 5:1.)

°have we to do with thee, Je'sus, thou Son of 
God? art thou come hither to torment us be- 
fore the time? 

30 And there was a good way off from them 
an herd of many "swine feeding. 

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If 
thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the 
herd of swine. 

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when 
they were come out, they went into the herd 
of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine 
ran violently down a steep place into the sea, 
and perished in the waters. 

33 And they that kept them fled, and went 
their ways into the city, and told every thing, 
and what was befallen to the possessed of the 
devils. 

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to 
meet Je'sus: and when they saw him, ^they be- 
sought him that he would depart out of their 
coasts. 

CHAPTER 9. 
2 Christ curing one sick of the palsy, 9 call- 
eth Matthew from the receipt of custom, 
10 eateth with publicans and sinners, 14 
defendeth his disciples for not fasting, 20 
cureth the bloody issue, 23 raiseth from 
death Jairus' daughter, 27 giveth sight to 
two blind men, 32 healeth a dumb man pos- 
sessed of a devil. 

1 'And he entered into a ship, and passed 
over, "and came into his 2 own city. 

2 lAnd, ^behold, they brought to him a man 
sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Je'sus 
seeing their faith said unto the sick of the 
palsy; Son, be of good cheer; Hhy sins be for- 
given thee. 

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said 
within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 

4 And Je'sus ^knowing their thoughts said, 
Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins c be 
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 



Ch. 9. A. D. 31. 



1. In ch. 9 Mat. gives an account 
of the remaining five of the group 
of ten specimen miracles. They were 
selected as representing different 
periods of our Lord's ministry and 
not in order of time. 



2. That is, by residence, Caper- 



3. In vs. 2-8 is given an account 
of the sixth miracle; the healing of 
the man with palsy. 



4. In v. 9 is the call of Matthew. 



5. In vs. 10-17 is an account of 
the feast at Matthew's house, which 
was given in honor of Christ. 



6. In vs. 14-17 is given a discourse 
on fasting; also given by Luke 5; 
33-39. 



6 But that ye may know that the e Son of 
man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then 
saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take 
up thy bed, and go unto thine house. 

7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 

8 But when the multitudes saw it, they mar- 
velled, ''and glorified God, which had given 
such power unto men. 

9 II 4 And ^as Je'sus passed forth from thence, 
he saw a man, named Mat'thew, sitting at the 
receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, 
Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 

10 If r And ''it came to pass, as Je'sus sat at 
meat in the house, behold, many publicans and 
sinners came and sat down with him and his 
disciples. 

11 And when the Phar'i-sees saw it, they 
said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Mas- 
ter with publicans and 'sinners? 

12 But when Je'sus heard that, he said unto 
them, They Hhat be whole need not a physician, 
but they that are sick. 

13 But go ye and learn ivhat that meaneth, 
I k will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am 
not come to call the righteous, l but sinners to 
repentance. 

14 If "Then came to him the disciples of John, 
saying, "'Why do we and the Phar'i-see§ fast 
oft, but thy disciples fast not? 

15 And Je'sus said unto them, Can n the chil- 
dren of the bridechamber mourn, as long as 
the bridegroom is with them? but the days will 
come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from 
them, and then shall they fast. 

16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto 
an old garment, for that which is put in to fill 
it up taketh from the garment, and the rent- is 
made worse. 

17 Neither do men put new wine into old bot- 
tles: else the bottles break, and the wine 
runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they 
put new wine into new bottles, and both are pre- 
served. 



o. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what 
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what com- 
munion hath light with darkness? (II Cor. 6:14.) 

p. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the 
cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch 
their dead carcase. (Dt. 14:8.) 

q. They say unto Gcd, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowl- 
edge of thy ways. (Job 21:14.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which 
is upon the sea coast, in the borders o£ Zabulon and Nephthalim. (Mat. 
4:13.) 

b. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which 
was borne of four. (Mk. 2:3.) When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and 
said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so 
great faith, no, not in Israel. (Mat. 8:10.) 

c. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness 
of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) When Jesus 
saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be 
forgiven thee (5). Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, 
Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and 
walk? (Mk. 2:5, 9.) And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, 
Man, thy sins are forgiven thee (20). Whether is easier, to say, Thy 
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? (Luke 5:20, 23.) 
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. (Luke 7:48.) 

d. Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising, thou under- 
standest my thought afar off. (Ps. 139:2.) And Jesus knew their 
thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is 
brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself 
shall not stand. (Mat. 12:25.) And Jesus, perceiving the thought of 
their heart, took a child, and set him by him. (Luke 9:47.) But Jesus 
did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men. (Jno. 2:24.) 
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know 
that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give 
unto every one of you according to your works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

e. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a 
Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 
5:31.) And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds 
of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his 
head. (Mat. 8:20.) 

f. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all 
the things that they had heard and seen, es it was told unto them, 
(i^uke 2:20.) And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that 
whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. And 
they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, 
saving, We have seen strange things today. (Luke 5:25, 26.) And one 
of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud 
voice glorified God. (Luke 17:15.) Herein is my Father glorified, that 
ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. (Jno. 15:8.) So, when 
they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing 
how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified 
God for that wtrch was done. (Acts 4:21.) Whiles by the experiment 



of this administration they glorify God for your professed subjection 
unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, 
and unto all men. (II Cor. 9:13.) And they glorified God in me. (Gal. 
1:24.) 

g. And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting 
at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose 
and followed him. And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat 
in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus 
and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. And 
when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sin- 
ners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh 
with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, 
They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are 
sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. And 
the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come 
and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees 
fast, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the 
children of the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? 
as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But 
the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from 
them, and then shall they fast on those days. No man also soweth a 
piece of new cloth on an old garment; else the new piece that filled it 
up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man 
putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine doth burst the 
bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new 
wine must be put into new bottles. (Mk. 2:14-22.) See Luke 5:27-38. 

h. And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, 
many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his dis- 
ciples: for there were many, and they followed him. (Mk. 2:15.) 

i. We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles. 
(Gal. 2:15.) 

j. When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole, 
have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to 
call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mk. 2:17.) And Jesus 
answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; 
but they that are sick. (Luke 5:31.) 

k. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than 
sacrifice. (Prov. 21:3.) For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the 
knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. (Hos. 6:6.) But if ye had 
known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would 
not have condemned the guiltless. (Mat. 12:7.) 

1. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that 
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners: of whom I am chief. 
(I Tim. 1:15.) I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repent- 
ance. (Luke 5:32.) When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that 
are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came 
not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mk. 2:17.) 

m. And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and 
they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the 
Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? (Mk. 2:18.) 

n. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the

ST. MATTHEW 



A..D. 31 



18 If 'While "he spake these things unto them, 
behold, there came a certain ruler, and wor- 
shipped him, saying, My daughter is even now 
dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, 
and she shall live. 

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and 
so did his disciples. 

20 11 s And, ^behold, a woman, which was dis- 
eased with an issue of blood twelve years, came 
behind him, and touched the hem of his gar- 
ment : 

21 For she said within herself, If I may but 
touch his garment, I shall be whole. 

22 But Je'sus turned him about, and when 
he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good com- 
fort; Qthy faith hath made thee whole. And 
the woman was made whole from that hour. 

23 And r when Je'sus came into the ruler's 
house, and saw the minstrels and the people 
making a noise, 

24 He said unto them, Give place: for 
the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they 
laughed him to scorn. 

25 But when the people were put forth, he 
went in, and took her by the hand, and the 
maid arose. 

26 And 'the fame hereof went abroad into 
all that land. 

27 1f "And when Je'sus departed thence, two 
blind men followed him, crying, and saying, 
"Thou son of Da'vid, have mercy on us. 

28 And when he was come into the house, 
the blind men came to him: and Je'sus saith 
unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? 
They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, Ac- 
cording to your faith be it unto you. 

30 And their eyes were opened; and Je'sus 
straitly charged them, saying, v See that 10 no 
man know it. 

31 But they, when they were departed, 
spread abroad his fame in all that country. 

32 H"As they ™went out, behold, they 



7. In vs. 1S-26 is given an ac- 
count of the seventh miracle, the 
raising of the daughter of the ruler 
Jairus. A much fuller account is 
given of this miracle in Mark 5: 
22-43. 

S. In vs. 20-22 is an account -of 
the eighth miracle; the healing of 
the issue of blood. This miracle was 
performed while Jesus was on his 
way to the ruler's house to heal the 
daughter. 

9. In vs. 27-31 is an account of 
the 9th miracle; the curing of two 
blind men. 

10. From this it seems that every 
time is not always a proper or op- 
portune time to proclaim the truth 
of the gospel. Christ would here 
teach his followers discretion and the 
right use of judgment. 

11. In vs. 32-31 is given an ac- 
count of the tenth miracle; the cur- 
ing of the dumb demoniac. 

12. In vs. 35-38 is given an ac- 
count of sending forth the 12 apos- 
tles on their missions. 

Ch. 10. A. D. 31. 

1. In chs. 5, 6 and 7 are given 
the principles of Christ's kingdom; 
in chs. 8 and 9, specimen miracles 
to prove the divinity of those prin- 
ciples; in ch. 10, the 12 are in- 
structed and sent forth upon their 
mission. 

2. Twelve disciples were chosen, 
referring to the 12 tribes. In Mat 
19:28, Jesus says, "Ye shall sit on 
12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of 
Israel." 

3. In vs. 1-42 the 12 receive their 
instructions and are sent forth on 
their trial mission. In vs. 2-4 is 
given the register of the 12. 

4. From the Greek word Apos- 
tallo, meaning one sent. 

5. A Galilean, son of Jona. On 
one occasion (Mat. 16:17) he is 
called "Barjona" — "Blessed art thou. 
Simon Barjona" — Bar, meaning son 
of. According to the first ch. of 
John, Peter was a disciple of John 
the Baptist (vs. 35-40). "Again the 
next day after, John stood and two 
of his disciples — one of the two 
which heard John speak and fol- 
lowed him, was Andrew, Simon 
Peter's brother." It might be here 
stated that the Rom:in Catholic 
Church claims that Peter was sub- 



brought to him a dumb man possessed with a 
devil. 

33 And when the devil was cast out, the 
dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, 
saying, It was never so seen in Is'ra-el. 

34 But the Phar'i-sees said, He casteth out 
devils through the prince of the devils. 

35 "And Je'§us went about all the cities and 
villages, teaching in their synagogues, and 
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and heal- 
ing every sickness and every disease among the 
people. 

36 1 But when he saw the multitudes, he 
was moved with compassion on them, because 
they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as 
sheep having no shepherd. 

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, x The 
harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are 
few; 

38 Pray uye therefore the Lord of the har- 
vest, that he will send forth labourers into his 
harvest. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 Christ sendeth out his twelve apostles, ena- 
bling them with power to do miracles, 5 
giveth them their charge, teacheth them, 16 
comforteth them against persecutions: 40 
and promiseth a blessing to those that re- 
ceive them. 

1 \A.nd when he had called unto him his 
^twelve disciples, he gave them power against 
unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal 
all manner of sickness and all manner of dis- 
ease. 

2 3 Now the names of the twelve "apostles are 
these; The first, Si'mon, °who is called Te'ter, 
and °An'drew his brother; 7 Jame§ the son of 
Zeb'e-dee, and John 8 his brother; 

3 Thil'ip, and 10 Bar-thol'6-mew; "Thomas, 
and 12 Mat'thew the publican; "James the son 
of Al-phse'us, and Leb-bas'us, whose surname 
was "Thad-daVus; 



sequently made Bishop of Rome, 
upon which the Popery assert their 
claim to supremacy. 

6. Brother to Peter, also a disci- 
ple of John the Baptist. See note 
5. He was the opposite of Peter iu 
character. 

7. Of Bethsaida in Galilee. Broth- 
er of John the beloved disciple. 

8. With the possible exception of 
Peter, the most conspicuous and in- 
teresting character of the apostles. 
He wrote one Gospel, three Epistles 
(viz., First, Second and Third John) 



and the Apocalypse (Book of Reve- 
lation). He was the last surviving 
member of the apostles, and lived 
till nearly the close of the first cen- 
tury. He was gentle, affectionate 
and almost feminine iu character. 

9. Philip, the fifth apostle, se- 
lected from Bethsaida ; one of the 
less conspicuous of the apostles. It 
was to Philip that Christ put the 
question previous to the miracle of 
feeding the 5.000. His answer proved 
him to be much less spiritual than 
some of the others. 



10. Supposed to be the same as 
Nathaniel. If true, he was the "Is- 
raelite in whom there was no guile." 
He is supposed to have preached in 
India. The time and place of his 
death are unknown. 

11. Thomas and Didymus, two 
names for the same apostle. There 
is no authentic record of his family 
relations. He is especially noted as 
"the doubting Thomas," the one Who 
demanded a visible evidence of the 
Lord's resurrection. 

'12. A publican and tax gatherer; 



a native of Galilee and cousin of 
Jesus. 

13. Called James the Less, son of 
Alphaeus, called Cleopas. His moth- 
er's name was Mary, sister of Mary, 
the mother of Christ. lie was there- 
fore a cousin of our Lord's and sup- 
posed to be a brother of Matthew. 

14. He is the "Judas, not Is- 
cariot" (John 14:22). He was also 
supposed to be a brother of James 
the Less and therefore a cousin to 
Jesus. He was the Jude who wrote 
the epistle bearing that name. 



bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because 
of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled. (Jno. 3:29.) 

o. And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, 
Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet. (Mk. 5:22.) 

p. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years. 
(Mk. 5:25.) And a woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, which 
had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any. 
(Luke 8:43.) 

q. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith 
hath made thee whole; go in peace. (Luke 8:48.) And he said unto her, 
Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole 
of thy plague. (Mk. 5:34.) And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath 
saved thee; go in peace. (Luke 7:50.) And he said unto him, Arise, go 
thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. (Luke 17:19.) And Jesus said 
unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. (Luke 18:42.) 

r. And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and 
seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. (Mk. 5:38.) 
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save 
Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 
(Luke 8:51.) 

s. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, 
Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. (Acts 20:10.) Howbeit 
Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking 
of rest in sleep. (Jno. 11:13.) 

t. And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto 
him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, 
and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were luna- 
tic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. (Mat. 4:24.) 
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round 
about Galilee (28). But he went out, and began to publish it much, and 
to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly 
enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to 
him from every quarter. (Mk. 1:28, 45.) And Jesus returned in the 
power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him 
through all (he region round about (14). And the fame of him went 
out into every place of the country round about. (Luke 4:14, 37.) 

u. And, behold, two blind men silting by (he way-side, when they 
heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on Ui, O Lord, 



thou son of David! And the multitude rebuked them, because they 
should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy 
on us, O Lord, thou son of David! (Mat. 20:30, 31.) And he cried, say- 
ing, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me! (Luke 18:38.) And 
the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Ho- 
sanna to the son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the 
Lord! Hosanna in the highest! (9). And^ when the chief priests and 
scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in 
the temple, and saying Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore 
displeased. (Mat. 21:9. 15.) And when he heard that it was Jesus of 
Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have 
mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but 
he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 
(Mk. 10:47, 48.) And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the 
temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? (Mk. 12:35.) 

v. And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to 
the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, 
for a testimony unto them. (Luke 5:14.) 

w. And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came 
to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people 
wondered. (Luke 11:14.) 

x. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the 
laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he 
would send forth laborers into his harvest. (Luke 10:2.) Say not ye, 
There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest, Behold, I say unto 
you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white al- 
ready to harvest. (Jno 4:35.) 

y. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evan- 
gelists; and some, pastors and teachers. (Bph. 4:11.) Finally, brethren, 
pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be 
glorified, even as it is with you. (II Thess. 3:1.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he 
said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which 
is, by interpretation, A stone. (Jno. 1:42.) 

b. Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop, when I have 
dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot. 
the sou of Simon. (Jno. 13:26.)

4 Si'mon "the Ca'naan-ite, and 10 Ju'das Is- 
car'i-ot, who also betrayed him. 

5 17 These twelve Je'§us sent forth, and com- 
manded 15 them, saying, Go not into the way 
"of the Gentiles, and into any city of Hhe 
Sa-mar'i-tan§ enter ye not: 

6 d But go rather to the e lost sheep of the 
house of Is'ra-el. 

7 And fas ye go, preach, saying, The king- 
dom of heaven is at hand. 

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the 
dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, 
freely give. 

9 Provide ^neither gold, nor silver, nor brass 
in your purses, 

10 Nor 2 "scrip for your journey, neither two 
coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the 
''workman is worthy of his meat. 

11 And into whatsoever city or totvn ye shall 
enter, enquire who in it is worthy; jind there 
abide till ye go thence. 

12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. 

13 And if the house be worthy, let your 
peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let 
your peace return to you. 

14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor 
hear your words, when ye depart out of that 
house or city, 'shake off the dust of your feet. 

15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more 
-^tolerable for the land of Sod'om and Go-mor'- 
rhd in the day of "judgment, than for that city. 

16 1f ^Behold, I send you forth as sheep in 
the midst of wolves: 'be ye therefore wise as 
serpents, and '''harmless as doves. 

17 But beware of men: for they will deliver 
you up to the councils, and 'they will scourge 
you in their synagogues; 

18 And '"ye shall be brought before govern- 
ors and kings for my sake, for a testimony 
against them and the Gen'tiles. 

19 But when they deliver you up, take no 
thought how or what ye shall speak: for "it 
shall be given you in that same hour what ye 
shall speak. 

20 For °it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit 
of your Father which speaketh in you. 

21 And the brother shall deliver up the 
brother to death, and the father the child: 
and the children shall rise up against their 
parents, and cause them to be put to death. 

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my 
name's sake: Pbut he that endureth to the end 
shall be saved. 



15. The least known of any of 
the apostles. 

16. Throughout the New Testa- 
ment this name is mentioned last as 
the one least respected — his only 
claim to notice being that he was 
the betrayer of Christ. 

17. In ts. 5-15 are given the di- 
rections for their present journey. 

18. Gave them instructions. 

19. That is, they were not to 
go through the nations and tribes 
lying out of Palestine, as had been 
done throughout the Old Testament 
dispensation. Christ centers the 
preaching of his disciples largely 
upon the house of Israel, as they 
were to be the keepers of the fight 
of future generations. 

20. A wallet or bag.- 

21. It shall be, 1. e., the day of 
judgment, because their punishment 
shall be according to the privileges 
extended them. 

22. The day of final reckoning. 

23. In vs. 16-23 is the prediction 
of the persecution of the apostles. 

24. In vs. 24-42 is given an ac- 
count of the duty, the struggle and 
the issue before the apostles. 



25. That is, he has come to at- 
tract unto himself all the good of 
this world, and as the good will at- 
tract unto itself the good, and the 
evil the evil, a division will be made 
and a strife produced. 

26. Just as the Tight, the pure 
and the good are constantly at vari- 
ance with the wrong and defiled, so 
shall the righteous members of a 
family be at variance with the un- 
righteous. The sober son loves his 
drunken father, but be is at variance 
with him. In like manner the love 
of . Christ will set members of a 
family at variance with each other. 

27. That is. if the wooings of af- 
fection would draw us into sin, then 
their strength and power must be 
rejected. 

28. That is, saveth, in contrast 
with loseth; meaning he that saves 
his life from the duties and obliga- 
tions of Christ shall lose it. 



29. Receiveth as a Saviour. 



23 But when they persecute you in this city, 
flee ye into another: for verily I say unto' you, 
Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Is'- 
ra-el, till the vSon of man be come. 

24 2i The disciple is not above his master, nor 
the servant above his lord. 

25 It is enough for the disciple that he be 
as his master, and the servant as his lord. If 
they have called the master of the house Be-eV- 
ze-bub, how much more shall they call them of 
his household? 

26 Fear them not therefore: for there is 
nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; 
and hid, that shall not be known. 

27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak 
ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that 
preach ye upon the house tops. 

28 And 'fear not them which kill the body, 
but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear 
him which is able to destroy both soul and 
body in hell. 

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? 
and one of them shall not fall on the ground 
without your Father. 

30 But s the very hairs of your head are all 
numbered. 

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more 
value than many sparrows. 

32 Whosoever 'therefore shall confess me be- 
fore men, him will I confess also before my 
Father which is in heaven. 

33 But u whosoever shall deny me before men, 
him will I also deny before my Father which 
is in heaven. 

34 Think not that I am come to send peace 
on earth: I came not to send 2S peace, but a 
sivord. 

35 For I am come to set a man at variance 
"'against v his father, and the daughter against 
her mother, and the daughter in law against 
her mother in laiv. 

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own 
household. 

37 He that loveth ^father or mother more 
than me is not worthy of me: and he that 
loveth son or daughter more than me is not 
worthy of me. 

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and fol- 
loweth after me, is not worthy of me. 

39 He w that ^findeth his life shall lose it: 
and he that loseth his life for my sake shall 
find it. 

40 f ™He that receiveth you receiveth me, 



c. And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from 
Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and 
placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: 
and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. (II Ks. 
17:24.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, 
being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for' 
the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. (Jno. 4:9.) 

d. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said. It was necessary 
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing 
ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, 
we turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46.) 

e. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to 
his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Is. 
53:6.) For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto 
tne Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. (I Pet. 2:25.) 

f. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the 
siek. (Luke 9:2.) 

g. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accom- 
plished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the 
things concerning me have an end. (Luke 22:37.) 

n. And in the same house remained, eating and drinking such things 
as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house 
to house. (Luke 10:7.) Who goettf a warfare any time at his own 
charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? 
or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? (I Cor. 
9:7.) For the Scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that tread- 
eth out the corn: and, The laborer is worthy of his reward. (I Tim. 
5:18.) 

I. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came 
unto Iconium. (Acts 13:51.) And when they opposed themselves, and 
blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be 
upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the 
Gentiles. (Acts 18:6.) 

j. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad 
therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which 
is good, and simple concerning evil. (Rom. 16:19.) See then that ye 
walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. (Eph. 5:15.) 

k. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be 
ye children, but'in understanding be men. (I Cor. 14:20.) 

1. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, 



and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the 
name of Jesus, and let them go. (Acts 5:40.) 

m. Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the 
church. (Acts 12:1.) Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned 
unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been 
of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer 
for myself. (Acts 24:10.) 

n. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee 
what thou shalt say. (Ex. 4:12.) But the Lord said unto me, Say not, 
I am a child; for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and what- 
soever I command thee thou shalt speak. (Jer. 1:7.) 

o. The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my 
tongue. (II Sam. 23:2.) And they were not able to resist the wisdom 
and the spirit by which he spake. (Acts 6:10.) 

p. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three 
hundred and five and thirty days. (Dan. 12:12.) And let us not be 
weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 
(Gal. 6:9.) 

q. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all 
with one accord in one place. (Acts 2:1.) 

r. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust 
in the Lord shall be safe. (Prov. 29:25.) But and if ye suffer for right- 
eousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither 
be troubled. (I Pet. 3:14.) 

s. Wherefore I pray you to take some meat; for this is for your 
health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 
(Acts 27:34.) 

t. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and 
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, 
thou shalt be saved. (Rom. 10:9.) He that overcometh, the same shall 
be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of 
the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and be- 
fore his angels. (Rev. 3:5.) 

-u. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he 
also will deny us. (II Tim. 2:12.) 

v. The son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against 
her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's 
enemies are the men of his own house. (Mic. 7:6.) 

w. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will 
lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Mat. 16:25.)

sent me. 

41 He ^that receiveth a prophet in the name 
of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; 
and he that receiveth a righteous man in the 
name of a righteous man shall receive a right- 
eous man's reward.

one of these little ones a cup of cold water only

CHAPTER 11. 
2 John sendeth his disciples to Christ. 7 
Christ's testimony concerning John. 18 The 
opinion of the people concerning John and 
Christ. 20 Christ upbraideth the unthank- 
fulness and unrepentance of Chorazin, Beth- 
saida, and Capernaum: 28 and calleth to 
him all such as feel the burden of their sins. 

1 And it came to pass, when Je'§us had made 
an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he 
departed thence to teach and to preach in their 
cities. 

2 'Now c when 2 John had heard in the prison 
the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 

3 And said unto him, Art thou he that 
^should come, or do we look for another? 

4 Je'§us answered and said unto them, Go 
and shew John again those things which ye do 
hear and see: 

5 The "blind receive their sight, and the 
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the 
deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and d the 
poor have the gospel preached to them. 

6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not 
be e off ended in me. 

7 f 3 And as ^they departed, Je'§us began to 
say unto the multitudes concerning John, 
What went ye out into the wilderness to see? 
A reed shaken with the wind? 

8 But what went ye out for to see? A man 
clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear 
soft clothing are in kings' houses. 

9 But what went ye out for to see? A 
prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a 
prophet. 

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Be- 
hold, I send my messenger before thy face, 
which shall prepare thy way before thee. 

11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that 
are born of women there hath not risen a

greater than John the Bap'tist: notwithstand- 
ing he that is least in the kingdom of heaven 
is greater than he. 

12 And afrom the days of John the Bap'tist 
until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth vio- 
lence, and the violent take it by force. 

13 For h all the prophets and the law prophe- 
sied until John. 

14 And if ye will receive it, this is i E-li'ds, 
which was for to come. 

15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

16 If "But iwhereunto shall I liken this gen- 
eration? It is like unto children sitting in the 
markets, and calling unto their fellows, 

17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and 
ye have not danced; we have mourned unto 
you, and ye have not lamented. 

18 For John came neither eating nor drink- 
ing, and they say, He hath a devil. 

19 The Son of man came eating and drink- 
ing, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, 
and a winebibber, 1: a friend of publicans and 
sinners. l But wisdom is justified of her chil- 
dren. 

20 If 5 Then began he to upbraid the cities 
wherein most of his mighty works were done, 
because they repented not: 

21 Woe unto thee, Cho-ra'zin! woe unto thee, 
Beth-sa'i-dd! for if the mighty works, which 
were done in you, had been done in Tyre and 
Si'don, they would have repented long ago m in 
sackcloth and ashes. 

22 But I say unto you, It shall be more "tol- 
erable for Tyre and Si'don at the day of judg- 
ment, than for you. 

23 And thou, Ca-per'na-um, "which art ex- 
alted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to 
hell: for if the mighty works, which have been 
done in thee, had been done in Sod'om, it would 
have remained until this day. 

24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more 
tolerable for the land of Sod'om in the day of 
judgment, than for thee. 

25 H At that time Je'§us answered and said, 
/ thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and 
earth, because thou "hast hid these things from 
the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them 
unto babes. 

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good 
in thy sight. 

27 7 All "things Pare delivered unto me of my 
Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the 



x. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the 
gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: 
and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in 
a vessel, that I may drink. (I Ks. 17:10.) 

y. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my 
brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Mat. 25:40.) God is not unrighteous 
to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shown toward his 
name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (Heb. 
6:10.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. And 
John calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, 
Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? (Luke 7:18, 19.) 
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison 
for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. (Mat. 14:3.) 

b. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) I shall see him, but not now; I shall 
behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a 
Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, 
and destroy all the children of Sheth. (Num. 24:17.) Then those men, 
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth 
that prophet that should come into the world. (Jno. 6:14.) 

c. And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and 
the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. (Is. 
29:18.) To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the 
prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. (Is. 42:7.) 
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the 
Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear wit- 
ness of me, that the Father hath sent me. (Jno. 5:36.) 

d. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: thev shall praise the Lord 
that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. (Ps. 22:26.) The Spirit 
of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to 
preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the 
broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of 
the prison to them that are hound. (Is. 61:1.) 

e. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and 
for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a 
snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Is. 8:14.) And they were of- 
fended In him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is riot without 
honor, save In his own country, and in his own house. (Mat. 13:57.) 



Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which 
be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made 
the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of of- 
fence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient; where- 
unto also they were appointed. (I Pet. 2:7, 8.) 

f. And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to 
speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the 
■wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? (Luke 7:24.) 

g. The Law and the Prophets were until John: since that time the 
kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (Luke 
16:16.) 

h. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of 
the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of 
the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, 
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (Mai. 4:5, 6.) 

i. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John 
the Baptist. (Mat. 17:13.) And he shall go before him in the spirit and 
power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and 
the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people pre- 
pared for the Lord. (Luke 1:17.) He said, I am the voice of one crying 
in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet 
Esaias. (Jno. 1:23.) 

j. And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this 
generation? and to what are they like? (Luke 7:31.) 

k. And it came to pass as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, 
many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his dis- 
ciples. (Mat. 9:10.) 

1. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, with- 
out rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom 
ye shine as lights in the world. (Phil. 2:15.) 

m. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry 
mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and 
from the violence that is in their hands. (Jon. 3:8.) 

n. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I 
will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the 
mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. (Is. 14:13.) 

o. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained 
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy 
and the avenger. (Ps. 8:2.) But God hath chosen the foolish things of 
the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things 
of the world to confound the things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:27.) 

p. Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his

Father; neither iknoiveth any man the Father, 
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son 
will reveal him. 

28 H Come unto me, all ye that labour and 
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

29 Take my yoke upon you, r and learn of 
me: for I am meek and lowly s in heart: t and 
ye shall find rest tinto your souls. 

30 For "my yoke is easy, and my burden is 
light. 

CHAPTER 12. 

1 Christ reproveth the blindness of the Phari- 
sees concerning the breach of the sabbath. 
22 He healeth the man that ivas blind and 
dumb. 31 Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 
shall never be forgiven. 38 He rebuketh the 
unfaithful, who seek after a sign: 49 and 
sheweth who is his brother, sister, and 
mother. 

1 'At that ^ime "Je'§us went on the sabbath 
day through the corn; and his disciples were 
an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of 
corn, and to eat. 

2 But when the Phar'i-sees_ saw it, they said 
unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is 
not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 

3 But he said unto them, Have ye not 3 read 
hvhat Da'vid did, when he was an hungred, and 
they that were with him; 

4 How he entered into the house of God, and 
did eat c the shewbread, which was not lawful 
for him to eat, neither for them which were 
with him, d but only for the priests? 

5 Or have ye not read in the c law, how that 
on the sabbath days the i priests in the temple 
profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 

6 But I say unto you, That in this place is 
tone greater than the temple. 

7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, 
al will have ''mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would 
not have condemned the guiltless. 

8 For the h Son of man is Lord even of the 
^sabbath day. 



Ch. 12. a. s. 31. 



1. In vs. 1-8 is an account of 
Jesus' plucking corn upon the Sab- 
bath. In this ch. are grouped to- 
gether the two miracles performed 
by Jesus concerning the Sabbath. 



2. The second passover of the 
ministry of Jesus. 



3. Christ is not arguing for a 
loose regard for the Sabbath, but 
seeking to develop the fact that 
mere adhering to the form of the 
law without the spirit is not keeping 
of the law. 



4. That is, they kill, flay and 
dress the animals to be sacrificed 
and bake the show bread; so, ac- 
cording to their construction, the 
law made provisions for its own prof- 
anation. 



5. That is, the Lord requires a 
performance of mercy and not cere- 
monial ritualism. 



6. Christ here asserts himself to 
be greater than the Sabbath law, 
established by God at the creation. 
This he did for the purpose of si- 
lencing the murmurings of the peo- 
ple concerning his interpretation of 
the law. 



7. In vs. 9-21 Christ restores the 
withered hand. 



8. In vs. 22-31 Christ heals a 
blind and dumb demoniac and re- 
plies to the malignant interpretation 
put upon it. 



9 'And 'when he was departed thence, he 
went into their synagogue: 

10 T And, behold, there was a man which 
had his hand withered. And they asked him, 
saying, Jls it lawful to heal on the sabbath 
days? that they might accuse him. 

11 And he said unto them, What man shall 
there be among you, that shall have one sheep, 
and k if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will 
he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 

12 How much then is a man better than a 
sheep? wherefore it is lawful to do well on 
the sabbath days. 

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth 
thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it 
was restored whole, like as the other. 

14 If Then 'the Phar'I-sees. went out, and held 
a council against him, how they might destroy 
him. 

15 But when Je'§us '"knew it, he withdrew 
"himself from thence: and great multitudes fol- 
lowed him, and he healed them all; 

16 And charged them that they should not 
make him known : 

17 That it might be fulfilled which was 
spoken by E-§a'ias the prophet, saying, 

18 Behold "my servant, whom I have chosen; 
my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: 
I will put my "spirit upon him, and he shall 
shew judgment to the Gen'tile§. 

19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall 
any man hear his voice in the streets. 

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and 
smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send 
forth judgment unto victory. 

21 And in his name shall the Gen'tiles, trust. 

22 H s Then fwas brought unto him one pos- 
sessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he 
healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb 
both spake and saw. 

23 And all the people were amazed, and said, 
Is not this the r ^son of Da'vid? 

24 But r when the Phar'1-sees. heard it, they 



hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God. (Jno. 13:3.) 
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head 
over all things to the church. (Eph. 1:22.) 

q. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which 
is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (Jno. 1:18.) Not 
that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath 
seen the Father. (Jno. 6:46.) 

r. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, 
even as he walked. (I Jno. 2:6.) 

s. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form 
of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found 
in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto 
death, even the death of the cross. (Phil. 2:7, 8.) 

t. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for 
the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall 
find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein. (Jer. 
6:16.) 

u. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: 
and his commandments are not grievous. (I Jno. 5:3.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbor, then 
thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a 
sickle unto thy neighbor's standing corn. (Dt. 23:25.) 

b. So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread 
there but the showbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put 
hot bread in the day when it was taken away. (I Sam. 21:6.) 

c. And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me alway. 
(Ex. 25:30.) 

d. And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in 
the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord 
made by fire by a perpetual statute. (Lev. 24:9.) 

e. And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, 
and two tenth deals of flour tor a meat offering, mingled with oil, and 
the drink offering thereof. (Num. 28:9.) 

f. But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, 
heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less 
this house which I have built! (II Chr. 6:18.) 

g. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of 
God more than burnt offerings. (Hos. 6:6.) 

h. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind Tie a 
great voice, as of a trumpet. (Rev. 1:10.) And Jesus saith untu him, 
The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son 
of man hath not where to lay his head. (Mat. 8:20.) 

i. And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man 
there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he 
would beal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And 
he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And 
he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to 
do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when 
he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the 
hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man. Stretch forth thine hand. 
And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 
And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the 



Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. (Mk. 3:1-6.) And 
it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the syna- 
gogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. 
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on 
the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. But 
he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered 
hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood 
forth. Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing: Is it law- 
ful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to 
destroy it? And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the 
man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored 
whole as the other. And they were filled with madness; and com- 
muned one with another what they might do to Jesus. (Luke 6:6-11.) 

j. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, say- 
ing, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? (Luke 14:3.) Therefore 
said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth 
not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do 
such miracles? And there was a division among them. (Jno. 9:16.) 

k. Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the 
way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift 
them up again. (Dt. 22:4.) 

1. The Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the 
Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. (Mk. 3:6.) There- 
fore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand. 
(Jno. 10:39.) 

m. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: 
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom 
we have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

n. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my 
soul delighteth; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth 
judgment to the Gentiles. (Is. 42:1.) 

o. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to 
bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and 
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) The Spirit 
of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the 
gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to b,eal the broken-hearted, to preach 
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set 
at liberty them that are bruised. (Luke 4:18.) For he whom God hath 
sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by meas- 
ure unto him. (Jno. 3:34.) 

p. And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came 
to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people 
wondered. (Luke 11:14.) As they went out, behold, they brought to 
him a dumb man possessed with a devil (32). But the Pharisees said, 
He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. (Mat. 9:32, 34.) 

q. Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh 
Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (Rom. 9:5.) 
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, 
and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. (Mat. 9:27.) 

r. And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath 
Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. (Mk. 
3:22.)

said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but 
by Be-el'ze-bub the prince of the devils. 

25 And Jesus s knew their thoughts, and said 
unto them, Every f kingdom divided against 
itself is brought to desolation; and every city 
or house divided against itself shall not stand: 

26 And if Sa'tan east out Satan, he is di- 
vided against himself; how shall then his king- 
dom stand? 

27 And if I by Be-el'ze-bub cast out devils, 
by whom do your children cast them out: 
therefore they shall be your judges. 

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of 
God, then "the kingdom of God is come unto 
you. 

29 Or else how can one enter into a strong 
man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first 
bind the strong man? and then he ivill spoil 
his house. 

33 He that is not with me is against me; 
and he that gathereth not with me scattereth 
abroad. 

31 If °Wherefor£ I say unto you, v All manner 
of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto 
men: u 'but the blasphemy against the Holy 
Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 

32 And ivhosoever x speaketh a word against 
the Son of man,- Hi shall be forgiven him: but 
ivhosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, 
it shall not be forgiven him, neither z in this 
world, neither in the world to come. 

33 Either make the tree good, and aa his fruit 
good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his 
fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his 
fruit. 

34 ^generation of vipers, how can ye, 
being evil, speak good things? cc for out of the 
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 

35 A good man out of the good treasure of 
the heart bring eth forth good things: and an. 



9. In consequence of 
been said. 



10. The original of "idle" implied 
degree of ovil intent. 



12. Christ here pictures Satan, not 
as going directly to hell, not as lin- 
gering in the unpeopled places. 



13. Because he seeketh lodgment 
in a human heart and findeth none. 



evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth 
evil things. 

36 But I say unto you, That every dd idle 
w word that men shall speak, they shall give ac- 
count thereof in the ''-day of judgment. 

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, 
and by thy ivords thou shalt be condemned. 

38 r Then certain of the scribes and of the 
Phar'i-sees answered, saying, Master, we 
would see a sign from thee. 

39 But he answered and said unto them, An 
evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a 
sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but 
the sign of the prophet Jonas: 

40 For as Jonas ivas three days and three 
nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of 
man be three days and three nights in the 
heart of the earth. * 

41 The men of Xin'e-veh shall rise in judg- 
ment with this generation, and shall condemn 
it: ff because they repented at the preaching 
of Jonas; and, behold, Ma greater than Jonas 
is here. 

42 llh The queen of "the south shall rise up in 
the judgment with this generation, and shall 
condemn it: for she came from the uttermost 
parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solo- 
mon; and, behold, a greater than Sol'o-mon is 
here. 

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a 
man, u he walketh '^through dry places, seeking 
rest, and findeth "none. 

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house 
from whence I came out; and ivhen he is come, 
he findeth it empty, siv ept and garnished. 

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself 
ceven other spirits more wicked than himself, 
and ihey enter in and dwell there: '-'and the 
last state of that man is worse than the first. 
Even so shall it be also unto this wicked gen- 
eration. 



s. And needed not that any should testify of man; for he knew 
tvhat was in man. (Jno. 2:25.) But he, knowing their thoughts, said 
unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desola- 
tion; and a house divided against a house falleth. If Satan also be di- 
vided agair.st himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say 
that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast 
out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they 
be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no 
doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed 
keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than 
he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his 
armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. (Luke 11:17-22.) 

t. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not 
consumed one of another. (Gal. 5:15.) 

u. And in the days cf these kings shall the God of heaven set up a 
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not bo 
left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these 
kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) And he shall reign 
over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no 
end. (Luke 1:33.) But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no 
doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. (Luke 11:20.) 

v. Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons 
of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme; But 
he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgive- 
ness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. (Mk. 3:28, 29.) If any man 
see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he 
shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin 
unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. (I Jno. 5:16.) 

w. Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do al- 
ways resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. (Acts 7:51.) 

x. And there was much murmuring among the people concerning 
him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he de- 
ceiveth the people. (Jno. 7:12.) 

y. Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: 
but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. (I Tim. 
1:13.) 

z. But he shall receive an hundred-fold now in this time, houses, 
and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with 
persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. (Mk. 10:30.) And 
the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: 
for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the 
children of light. (Luke 16:8.) Who shall not receive manifold more 
in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. (Luke 
18:30.) Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, 
and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that 
which is to come. (Eph. 1:21.) Charge them that are rich in this world, 
that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the 
I'vlng God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy. (I Tim. 6:17.) For 
Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is de- 
parted unto Thessalonica ; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. (II 
Tim. 1:10.) Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, 
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. 
(Tit. 2:12.) And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of 
the world to come. (Heb. 6:5.) 

aa. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; ueither doth 
a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (Luke 6:43.) 



bb. Ye serpents, ve generation of vipers, how can ye escape the 
damnation of hell? (Mat. 23:33.) 

cc. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth 
that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his 
heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart 
his mouth speaketh. (Luke 6:45.) But those things which proceed out 
of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. (Mat. 
15:18.) Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but 
that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace 
unto the hearers. (Eph. 4:29.) As saith the proverb of the ancients, 
Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be 
upon thee. (I Sam. 24:13.) For in many things we offend all. If any 
man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. and able also to 
bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that 
they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the 
ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, 
yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the 
governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth 
great things. Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the 
tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our mem- 
bers, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of 
nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of 
birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been 
tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame: it is an unruly 
evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God. even the Father; 
and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of 
God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My 
brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth 
at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, 
bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt 
water and fresh. (Js. 3:2-12.) 

dd. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are 
not convenient; but rather giving of thanks. (Eph. 5:4.) 

ee. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land 
of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 
(Mat. 10:15.) 

ff. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, 
and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of 
them. (Jon. 3:5.) 

gg. For unto us a child is horn, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) 

hh. And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, 
concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard 
questions. (I Ks. 10:1.) 

ii. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence eomest thou? Then Satan 
answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and 
from walking up and down in it. (Job 1:7.) Be sober, be vigilant; 
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, 
seeking whom he may devour. (I Pet. 5:8.) 

jj. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and 
have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy 
Ghost. (Heb. 6:4.) For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of 
the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

out, desiring to speak with him. 

47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy 
mother and thy brethren stand without, desir- 
ing to speak with thee. 

48 But he answered and said unto him that 
told him, Who is my mother? and who are my 
brethren? 

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward 
his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and 
my brethren!

Father which is in heaven, the same is my 
brother, and sister, and mother. 

CHAPTER 13. 
3 The parable of the sower and the seed. 24 
The parable of the tares, 31 of the mustard 
seed, 33 of the leaven, 44 of the hidden 
treasure, 45 of the pearl, 47 of the drawnet 
cast into the sea. 

1 The same *day went Je'§us out of the 
house, and sat by the sea side. 

2 And great multitudes were gathered to- 
gether unto him, so that he went into a ship, 
and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the 
shore. 

3 And he spake many things unto them in 
Sparables, saying, 'Behold, a soiver went forth 
to sow; 

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the 
way side, and the fowls came and devoured 
them up: 

5 Some fell upon "stony places, where they 
had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung 
up, because they had no deepness of earth : 

6 And when the sun was vv, they were 
scorched; and because they had no root, they 
withered away. 

7 And some fell among thorns; and the 
thorns sprung up, and choked them : 

8 But other fell into good ground, and 
brought forth fruit, some b an hundredfold, 
some sixtyfold, some thirty f old. 

9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

10 And the disciples came, and said unto 
him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 

11 He answered and said unto them, Because 
c it is given unto you to know the mysteries of 
the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not 
given. 

12 For *whcsoever d hath, to him shall be

! 'given, and he, shall have more abundance: but 
whosoever hath °not, from him shall be taken 
away even that ''he hath. 

13 Therefore s speak I to them in parables: 
beczuse they seeing sco not; and hearing they 
hear not, neither do they understand. 

14 And in them is fidfillcd the prophecy of 
E-§a'ias, which saith, By e hearing ye shall 
hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye 
shall see, and shall not perceive: 

15 "For this people's heart is waxed gross, 
and their ears fare dull of hearing, and their 
eyes they have closed; lest at any time they 
should see with their eyes, and hear ivith their 
ears, and should understand with their heart, 
and should be converted, and I should heal 
them. 

1G But ^blessed are your eyes, for they see: 
and your ears, for they hear. 

17 For verily I say unto you. That many 
h prophets and righteous men have desired to 
see those things which ye see, and have not 
seen them; and to hear those things which ye 
hear, and have not heard them. 

18 11 Hear ye therefore the parable of the 
soiver. 

19 When any one heareth the word of the 
kingdom, and understandeth it not, then com- 
eth the wicked one, and catcheth aivay that 
which was sown in his heart. This is he which 
received seed by the way side. 

20 But he that received the seed into stony 
places, the same is he that heareth the word, 
and anon 'with joy receiveth it; 

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but 
dureth for a while: for when tribulation or 
persecution ariseth because of the word, by and 
by 'he is v 'off ended. ■ 

22 He l 'also that received seed among the 
thorns is he that heareth the word; and the 
care of this world, and the deceitfulness of 
riches, choke the word, and he becometh un- 
fruitful. 

23 But he that received seed into the good 
ground is he that heareth the word, and un- 
derstandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and 
bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some 
sixty, some thirty. 

24 1f "Another parable put he forth unto 
them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened 
unto a man ^which sowed good seed in his 
field: 

25 But luhile men slept, l his enemy came 



they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse 
with them than the beginning. (II Pet. 2:20.) 

kk. After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, 
and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many 
days. (Jno. 2:12.) His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, 
and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou 
doest (3). For neither did his brethren believe in him. (Jno. 7:3, 5.) 
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. 
(Gal. 1:19.) 

11. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all 
of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. (Heb. 
2:11.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within 
you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give 
them an heart of flesh. (Ez. 11:19.) 

b. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year 
an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. (Gen. 26:12.) 

c. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, 
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the 
wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Mat. 11:25.) 
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of 
the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things 
are done in parables. (Mk. 4:11.) But God hath revealed them unto us 
by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things 
of God. (I Cor. 2:10.) Even the mystery which hath been hid from 
ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints. 
(Col. 1:26.) 

d. For he that hath, to him shall be given; and he that hath not, 
from him shall be taken even that which he hath. (Mk. 4:25.) Take 
heed therefore how ye hear: tor whosoever hath, to him shall be given; 
and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he 
seemeth to have. (Luke 8:18.) 

e. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, hut un- 
derstand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. (is. 6:9.) Son of 
man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes 
to see, and see not: they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are 
a rebellious house. (Ez. 12:2.) He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened 
their heart; that they should not see with their eyes; nor understand 



with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (Jno. 12:40.) 
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, 
eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) 
unto this day. (Rom. 11:8.) But their minds were blinded: for until 
this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the 
Old Testament; which veil is done away in Christ. (II Cor. 3:14.) 

f. Of whom [Christ] we have many things to say, and hard to be 
uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. (Heb. 5:11.) 

g. And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed 
are the eyes which see the things that ya see: For I tell you, that 
many prophets ■ and kings have desired t:> see those things which ye 
see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, 
and have not heard them. (Luke 10:23, 24.) Jesus saith unto him, 
Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are 
they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (Jno. 20:29.) 

h. These all died in faith, not havinc received the promises, but 
having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced 
them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 
(Heb. 11:13.) Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and 
searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto 
you. (I Pet. 1:10.) 

i. Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a na- 
tion that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: 
they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approach- 
ing to God. (Is. 58:2.) He was a burning and a shining light: and ye 
were willing for a season to rejoice irt his light. (Jno. 5:35.) 

j. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. (Mat. 
11:6.) This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned 
away from me. (II Tim. 1:15.) 

k. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How 
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And 
the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, 
and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in 
riches to enter into the kingdom of God! (Mk. 10:23, 24.) But they that 
will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish 
and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 
(I Tim. 6:9.) 

I. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roar- 
ing lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (I Pet. 5:8.)

and sowed tares among the wheat, and went 
his way. 

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and 
brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares 
also. 

27 So the servants of the householder came 
and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good 
seed in thy field? from whence then hath it 
tares ? 

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done 
this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou 
then that we go and gather them up? 

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather 
up the tares, ye root up also the wheat ivith 
them. 

30 Let both grow' together until the harvest: 
and in the time of harvest I will say to the 
reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and 
bind them in bundles to burn them: but m gather 
the ivheat into my barn. 

31 II "Another parable put he forth unto 
them, "saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like 
to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, 
and sowed in his field: 

32 Which indeed is the is, least of all seeds: 
but when it is grown, it is the greatest among 
herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds 
of the air come and lodge in the branches 
thereof. 

33 1i "Another parable spake he unto them; 
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, 
which a woman took, and hid in three meas- 
ures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 

34 All these things spake Je'sus unto the 
multitude in parables; and without a parable 
spake he not unto them: 

35 That it might be fulfilled which was 
spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my 
mouth in parables; °I will utter things which 
have been kept secret from the foundation of 
the world. 

36 Then Je'§us sent the multitude away, and 
went into the house: and his disciples came 
unto him, saying, 1T Declare unto us the parable 
of the tares of the field. 

37 ls He answered and said unto them, He 
that Psoweth the good seed is the Son of man; 

3'8 vThe field is the world; the good seed 
are the children of the kingdom; but the 
tares are the ' children of the wicked one; 

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; 
s the harvest is the end of the world; and the 
reapers are the angels. 

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and 
burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of 
this world.

21. The pearl was selected as the 
symbol of divine truth because it 
always impresses the eye with ad- 
miration for its beauty and value.

angels, 'and they shall gather out of his king- 
dom all things that offend, and them which do 
iniquity; 

42 And "shall cast them into a furnace of 
fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of 
teeth. 

43 v Then shall the righteous shine forth as 
the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who 
hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

44 1 v ' Again, the kingdom of heaven is like 
unto treasure hid in a field; the which when 
a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy 
thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and 
"buyeth that field. 

45 II '"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like 
unto a merchant man, seeking 21 goodly pearls: 

46 Who, when he had found one pearl of 
great price, went and sold all that he had, and 
bought it. 

47 II "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like 
unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and 
J gathered of every kind: 

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to 
shore, and sat down, and gathered the good 
into vessels, but cast the bad away. 

49 So shall it be at the end a of the world: 
the angels shall come forth, and sever the 
ivicked from among the just, 

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of 
fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of 
teeth. 

51 Je'sus saith unto them, Have ye under- 
stood all these things? They say unto him, 
Yea, Lord. 

52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every 
scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom 
of heaven is like unto a man that is an house- 
holder, which bringeth forth out of his treas- 
ure things new and old. 

53 IT 21 And it came to pass, that when Je'sus 
had finished these parables, he departed thence. 

54 And when he was come into his own 
"country, he taught them in their synagogue, 
insomuch that they were astonished, and said, 
Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these 
mighty works? 

55 #Is not this the carpenter's son? is not 
his mother called Ma'ry? and his brethren, 
James, and Jo'ses, and Si'mon, and Ju'das? 

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? 
Whence then hath this man all these things? 

57 And they ^were offended in him. But 
Je'sus said unto them, A prophet is not without 
honour, save in his own country, and in his 
oivn house. 

58 And aa he did not many mighty works 
there because of their unbelief. 



m. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his 
floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will 
burn with fire unquenchable. (Luke 3:17.) 

n. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of 
the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, 
and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 
(Mic. 4:1.) Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and 
whereunto shall I resemble it? (Luke 13:18.) 

o. Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my 
gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation 
of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began. (Rom. 
16:25.) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden 
wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. (I Cor. 
2:7.) Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from gen- 
erations, but now is made manifest to his saints. (Col. 1:26.) 

p. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me 
to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and 
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) 

q. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached 
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47.) 
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all 
the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom. 10:18.) 

r. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between 
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise 
his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the 
devii sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was 
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (I Jno. 3:8.) 

s. Put ye in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; 
for the press is. full, the fats overflow: for their wickedness is great. (Joel 
3:13.) And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud 
voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for 
the time is come for thee to reap: for the harvest df the earth is ripe. 
(Rev. 14:15.) 



t. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as 
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their perni- 
cious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken 
of. (II Pet. 2:1, 2.) 

u. And the devil, that deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire 
and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall 
be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Rev. 20:10.) 

v. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firma- 
ment; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever 
and ever. (Dan. 12:3.) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, 
which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, 
and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with 
white robes, and palms in their hands. (Rev. 7:9.) 

w. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he 
that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and 
milk without money, and without price. (Is. 55:1.) I counsel thee to 
buy of me gold tried in the Are, that thou mayest be rich; and white 
raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy naked- 
ness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou 
mayest see. (R«5v. 3:18.) 

x. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered 
together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wed- 
ding was furnished with guests. (Mat. 22:10.) 

y. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for 
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with 
his stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) 

z. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. (Mat. 
11:6.) 

aa. For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as unto them: but 
the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in 
them that heard it. (Heb. 4:2.)

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Herod's opinion of Christ. 3 Wherefore John 
Baptist tvas beheaded. 13 Jesus departeth 
into a desert place: 15 he feedeth five thou- 
sand men with five loaves and two fishes: 
22 he ivalketh on the sea: 34 and landing 
at Gennesaret, healeth the sick. 

1 *At that time "Her'od the tetrarch heard of 
the fame of Je'§us, 

2 And said unto his servants, This is John 
the Bap'tist; he is risen from the dead; and 
therefore mighty works do shew forth them- 
selves in him. 

3 If For & Her'od had laid hold on John, and 
bound him, and put him in prison for He-ro'- 
di-as' sake, his brother Phil'Ip's wife. 

4 For John said unto him, c 'It is not lawful 
for thee to have her. 

5 And when he would have put him to death, 
he feared the multitude, because they counted 
him as a prophet. 

6 But when Her'od's birthday was kept, the 
daughter of He-ro'di-as danced before them, 
and pleased Her'od. 

7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to 
give her whatsoever she would ask. 

8 And she, being before instructed of her 
mother, said, Give me here John Bap'tist's 
head in a charger. 

9 And the king was sorry: ^nevertheless for 
the oath's sake, and them which sat with him 
at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 

10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the 
prison. 

11 And his head was brought in a charger, 
# and given to the damsel : and she brought it 
'to her mother. 

12 And his disciples came, and took up the 
body, and buried it, and went and told Je'sus. 

13 II When f Je'§us heard of it, he departed 
thence by ship into a desert place apart: and 
when the people had heard thereof, they fol- 
lowed him on foot out of the cities. 

14 And Je'§us went forth, and saw a great 
multitude, and fwas moved with compassion 
toward them, and he healed their sick. 

15 If "And when it was evening, his disciples 
came to him, saying, This is a desert place, 
and the time is now past; send the multitude 
away, that they may go into the villages, and 
buy themselves victuals. 

16 But Je'sus said unto them, They need not 
depart; ogive ye them to eat. 

17 And 3 they say unto him, We have here but 
five loaves, and two fishes. 

18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 

19 And he commanded the multitude to sit 
down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and 
the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he 
blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to 
his disciples, and the disciples to the multi- 
tude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and 
they took up of the fragments that remained 
twelve baskets full. 

21 And they that had eaten were about five 
thousand men, beside women and children. 

22 II *And straightway Je'§us constrained his 
disciples to get into a ship, and to go before 
him unto the other side, while he sent the multi- 
tudes away. 

23 And when he had sent the multitudes 
away, he went up into a mountain apart to 
pray: and when the evening was come, he 
was there alone. 

24 But the ship was now in the midst of 
the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was 
contrary. 

25 And in the fourth watch of the night 
Je'sus went unto them, walking on the sea. 

26 And when the disciples saw him walking 
on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a 
spirit; and they cried out for fear. 

27 But straightway Je'§us spake unto them, 
saying, Be of good cheer; it is I ; be not afraid. 

28 And Pe'ter answered him and said, Lord, 
if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the 
water. 

29 And he said, Come. And when Pe'ter 
was come down out of the ship, he walked on 
the water, to go to Je'§us. 

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he 
was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, 
saying, Lord, save me. 

31 And immediately Je'§us stretched forth 
his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, 
O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou 
doubt? 

32 And when they were come into the ship, 
the ,l wind ceased. 

33 Then they that were in the ship came 
and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth Hhou 
art the Son of God. 

34 H And •'when they were gone over, they 
came into the land of Gen-nes'a-ret. 

35 And when the men of that place had 
knowledge of him, they sent out into all that 
country round about, and brought unto him all 
that were diseased; 

36 And besought him that they might only 
touch the hem of his garment: and 7t 'as many 
a-s touched were made perfectly whole.

3 Christ reproveth the scribes and Pharisees: 
11 teacheth how that which goeth into the 
mouth doth not defile a man. 21 He healeth 
the daughter of the woman of Canaan, 32 
and with seven loaves and a few little fishes 
feedeth four thousand men, beside women and 
children. 

1 a Then came to Je'§us scribes and Phar'i- 
see§, which were of Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, 

2 Why do thy disciples transgress Q the tradi- 



Chapter 14. 

a. And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) 
and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and there- 
fore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. (Mk. 6:14.) 

b. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he 
that hateth reproof shall die. (Prov. 15:10.) For Herod himself had 
sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Hero- 
dias' sake, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her. (Mk. 6:17.) 

c. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it 
is thy brother's nakedness. (Lev. 18:16.) And if a man shall take his 
brother's wife, it is an unclean thing; he hath uncovered his brother's 
nakedness: they shall be childless. (Lev. 20:21.) Have no fellowship 
with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (Eph. 
5:11.) 

d. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, 
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. 
(Tit. 1:16.) 

e. But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and 
great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all. (Mat 12:15.) 
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. (Mk. 6:32.) 
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had 
done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place 
belonging to the city called Bethsaida. (Luke 9:10.) After these things 
Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And 
a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which 
he did on them that were diseased. (Jno. 6:1, 2.) 

f. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with 



the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we 
are, yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15.) 

g. And his servitor said. What! should I set this before an hundred 
men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith 
the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. (II Ks. 4:43.) 

h. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 
(Ps. 107:29.) 

i. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art 
my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Ps. 2:7.) And Simon Peter 
answered and said. Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 
(Mat. 16:16.) And devils also came out of many, crying out, and say- 
ing, Thou art Christ, the Son of God. And he, rebuking them, suffered 
them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. (Luke 4:41.) And 
we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living 
God. (Jno. 6:69.) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine 
heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus 
Christ is the Son of God. (Acts 8:37.) And declared to be the Son of 
God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrec- 
tion from the dead. (Rom. 1:4.) 

j. And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gen- 
nesaret, and drew to the shore. (Mk. 6:53.) 

k. For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him 
for to touch him, as many as had plagues. (Mk. 3:10.) And the whole 
multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and 
healed them all. (Luke 6:19.)

tion of the elders? for they wash not their 
hands when they eat bread. 

3 But he answered and said unto them, Why 
do ye also transgress the commandment of God 
by your tradition? 

4 For God commanded, saying, Honour Hhy 
father and mother: and, c He that curseth fa- 
ther or mother, let him die the death. 

5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his 
father or his mother, d It is a gift, by whatso- 
ever thou mightest be profited by me; 

6 And honour not his father or his mother, 
he shall be free. Thus have ye made the com- 
mandment of God of none effect by your tra- 
dition. 

7 Ye ^hypocrites, ivell did E-saias prophesy 
of you, saying, 

8 This c people draweth nigh unto me with 
their mouth, and honour eth me with their lips; 
but their heart is far from me. 

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching 
tfor doctrines the commandments of men. 

10 r And he called the multitude, and said 
unto them, Hear, and understand: 

11 Not 9that which go eth into the mouth de- 
fileth a man; but that which cometh out of the | Syro-Phoenlcian woman 
mouth, this defileth a man. 

12 Then came his disciples, and said unto 
him, Knowest thou that the Phar'I-sees were 
offended, after they heard this saying? 

13 But he answered and said, ''Every plant, 
which my heavenly Father hath not planted, 
shall be rooted up. 

14 Let them alone: 'they be blind leaders of 
the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, 
both shall fall into the ditch. 

15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, 
Declare unto us this parable. 

16 And Je'sus said, 'Are ye also yet without 
understanding? 

17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatso- 
ever enter eth in at the mouth goeth into the 
belly, and is cast out into the draught? 

18 But 1: those things which proceed out of 
the mouth come forth from the heart; and they 
defile the man. 

19 For 'out of the heart proceed evil 
thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, 
thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 

20 These are the things which defile a man: 



2. Hypocrites for maintaining and 
teaching a religion not founded on 
morality.

but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a 
man. 

21 r: Then Je'sus when thence, and departed 
into the coasts of Tyre and Sl'don. 

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came 
out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, say- 
ing, Have '"mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of 
Da'vid; my daughter is grievously vexed with 
a devil.. 

23 But he answered her not a word. And 
his disciples came and besought him, saying, 
Send her away; for she crieth after us. 

24 But he answered and said, / am not sent 
but unto the lost sheep of the house of Is- 
ra-el. 

25 Then came she and worshipped him, say- 
ing, Lord, help me. 

26 But he answered and said, It is not meet 
to take the children's bread, and to cast it to 
"dogs. 

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs 
eat of the crumbs which fall from their mas- 
ters' table. 

28 Then Je'sus answered and said unto her, 
O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee 
even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made 
whole from that very hour. 

29 And Je'sus departed from thence, and 
came nigh unto the sea of Gal'i-lee; and went 
up into a mountain, and sat down there. 

30 And °great multitudes came unto him, 
having with them those that were lame, blind, 
dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast 
them down at Je'sus' feet ; and he healed them : 

31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, 
when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed 
to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind" 
to see: and they glorified the God of Is'ra-el. 

32 \ Then Je'sus called his disciples unto 
him, and said, / have compassion on the multi- 
tude, because they continue with me now three 
days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not 
send them away fasting, lest they faint in the 
way. 

33 4 And Phis disciples say unto him, Whence 
should we have so much bread in the wilder- 
ness, as to fill so great a multitude? 

34 And Je'sus saith unto them, How many 
loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a 
few little fishes. 



ceit, after the tradition of men, after, the rudiments of the world, and 
not after Christ. (Col. 2:8.) Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and com- 
mandments of men, that turn from the truth. (Tit. 1:14.) And when 
the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before 
dinner. (Luke 11:38.) 

b. Honor thy father and thy mother : that thy days may be long 
upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. [The fifth com- 
mandment.] (Ex. 20:12.) Ye shall fear every man his mother and 
his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:3.) 
Honor thy father and mother; whicb is the first commandment with 
promise. (Eph. 6:2.) 

c. And he that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put 
to death. (Ex. 21:17.) Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or 
his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 27:16.) Whoso 
curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure 
darkness. (Prov. 20:20.) 

d. But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is 
Corban, (that is to say, a gift,) by whatsoever thou mightest be profited 
by me; he shall be free. (Mk. 7:11.) 

e. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near 
me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me. but have re- 
moved their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by 
the precept of men. (Is. 29:13.) And they come unto thee as the people 
cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, 
but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, 
but their heart goeth after their covetousness. (Ez. 33:31.) 

f. From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain 
jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neitner 
what they say, nor whereof they affirm. (I Tim. 1:6, 7.) Not giving 
heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the 
truth. (Tit. 1:14.) 

g. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God 
hath cleansed, that call not thou common. (Acts 10:15.) I know, and 
am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: 
but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 
(Rom. 14:14.) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from 
meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of 
them which bslieve and know the truth. For every creature of God is 
good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving. 
(I Tim. 4:3, 4.) 

h. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and 
every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more 
fruit. (Jno. 15:2.) Now if any man build upon this foundation [Jesus 
Christ! -'old, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's 



work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it 
shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what 
sort it is. (I Cor. 3:12, 13.) Thy people also shall be all righteous: they 
shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of 
my hands, that I may be glorified. (Is. 60:21.) 

i. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that 
are led of them are destroyed. (Is. 9:16.) And he spake a parable unto 
them: Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the 
ditch? (Luke 6:39:) 

j. Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the 
five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? (Mat. 16:9.) And he 
saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? (Mk. 7:18.) 

k. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue 
among our members, that it defileth the whole body." and setteth on fire 
the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. (Js. 3:6.) 

1. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, 
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil 
continually. (Gen. 6:5.) Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mis- 
chief continually; he soweth discord. (Prov. 6:14.) The heart is de- 
ceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 
(Jer. 17:9.) For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil 
thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders. (Mk. 7:21.) 

m. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed. The Lord. 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) Hear me when I call, O God of my 
righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress: have 
mercy upon me. and hear my prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Be ye therefore mer- 
ciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) 

n. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your 
pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and "turn 
again and rend you. (Mat. 7:6.) Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, 
beware of the concision. (Phil. 3:2.) 

o. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the 
deaf shall be unstopped: Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and 
the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break 
out. and streams in the desert. (Is. 35:5, 6.) The blind receive their 
sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, 
the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 
(Mat. 11:5.) 

p. And Moses said. The people, among whom I am, are six hundred 
thousand footmen; and thou hast said. I will give them flesh, that thev 
may eat a whole month. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for 
them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together 
for them, to suffice them? (Num. 11:21, 22.)

35 And he commanded the multitude to sit 
down on the ground. 

36 And Qhe took the seven loaves and the 
fishes, and 'gave thanks, and brake them, and 
gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the 
multitude. 

37 And they did all eat, and were filled: 
and they took up of the broken meat that was 
left seven baskets full. 

38 And they that did eat were four thousand 
men, beside women and children. 

39 And s he sent away the multitude, and 
took ship, and came into the coasts of Mag'- 
da-la. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 The Pharisees require a sign. 6 Jesus warn- 
eth his disciples of the leaven of the Phari- 
sees and Sadducees. 16 Peter's confession of 
him. 21 Jesus foresheweth his death, 23 re- 
proving Peter for dissuading him from it: 
24 and admonisheth those that will follow 
him, to bear the cross^ 

1 lr The Phar'i-see§ also with the Sad'du- 
cee§ came, and tempting desired him that he 
would shew them a sign from heaven. 

2 He answered and said unto them, When 
it is evening, ye say, It will be fair iveather: 
for the sky is red. 

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather 
to day: for the sky is red and lowring. ye 
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; 
but can ye not discern the h signs of the times? 

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seek- 
eth after a sign; and there shall no sign be 
gi/ven unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jo'- 
nas. And he left them, and departed. 

5 And c when his disciples were come to the 
other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 

6 IF Then Je'§us said unto them, d Take heed 



Ch. 16. A. B. 32. 



1. In vs. 1-12 Is the demand made 
by the Pharisees and Saddueees for 
a sign from heaven. 



2. In vs. 13-19 the Apostolic Col- 
lege is endowed with the keys of 
heaven. 



3. As the senior apostle, he an- 
swers for the whole number. 



4. That is, the apostles were all 
rocks in the foundation of the 
church, of which Christ was the 
chief corner stone and Peter the 
spokesman, or stone upon which was 
engraved the name Peter (Eph. 2: 
20). "And are built upon the foun- 
dations of the apostles and prophets; 
Jesus Christ himself being the chief 
corner stone." Therefore, this re- 
mark was addressed to Peter only as 
spokesman and was intended for all 
'the apostles. 



and beware of the leaven of the a Phar'i-see§ 
and of the Sad'du-cee§. 

7 And they reasoned among themselves, say- 
ing, It is because we have taken no bread. 

8 Which when Je'sus perceived, he said unto 
them, O ye e of little faith, why reason ye 
among yourselves, because ye have brought no 
bread? 

9 fDo ye not yet understand, neither remem- 
ber the five Hoaves of the five thousand, and 
how many baskets ye took up? 

10 Neither the h seven loaves of the four 
thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 

11 How is it that ye do not understand that 
I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye 
should beware of the leaven of the "Phar'i- 
see§ and of the Sad'du-cees? 

12 Then understood they how that he bade 
them not beware of the leaven of bread, but 
of the doctrine of the a Phar'i-see§ and of the 
Sad'du-cee§. 

13 If 2 When Je'sus came into the coasts of 
Cass-a-re'a Phi-lip'pi, he asked his disciples, 
saying, i Whom do men say that I the Son of 
man am? 

14 And they said, ^Some say that thou art 
John the Bap'tist: ''"some, E-li'as; and others, 
Jer-e-ml'as, or one of the prophets. 

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye 
that I am? 

16 And Si'mon s Pe'ter answered and said, 
'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living 
"God. 

17 And Je'§us answered and said unto him, 
Blessed art thou, Si'mon Bar-jo'na: m for flesh 
and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but 
°my Father which is in heaven. 

18 And I say also unto thee, That Hhou art 
Pe'ter, and lupon this *rock I will build my 



q. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and 
took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and, looking up to heaven, he 
blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disci- 
ples to the multitude. (Mat. 14:19.) 

r. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the 
Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. (Dt. 8:10.) 
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, 
saying, This is my body, which is given for you: this do in remem- 
brance of me. (Luke 22:19.) 

s. And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and 
came into the parts of Dalmanutha. (Mk. 8:10.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, 
seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. (Mk. 8:11.) And 
others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. (Luke 11:16.) 
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. (I Cor. 
1:22.) 

b. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) Therefore the Lord himself shall give 
you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall 
call his name Immanuel. .(Is. 7:14.) Behold, I will send my messenger, 
and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, 
shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, 
whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. 
(Mai. 3:1.) 

c. Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they 
in the ship with them more than one loaf. (Mk. 8:14.) 

d. In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innu- 
merable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, 
he began to say unto his disciples first of all. Beware ye of the leaven 
of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. (Luke 12:1.) And he charged 
them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and 
of the leaven of Herod. (Mk. 8:15.) See v. 11. 

e. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today 
is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe 
you, O ye of little faith? (Mat. 6:30.) And he saith unto them, Why 
are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the 
winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. (Mat. 8:26.) And im- 
mediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said 
unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? (Mat. 
14:31.) 

f. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two 
fishes. (Mat. 14:17.) There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, 
and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? (Jno. 6:9.) 

g. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two 
fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the mul- 
titude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two 
fishes, and, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the 
loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they 
did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that re- 
mained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five 
thousand men, besides women and children. (Mat. 14:17-21.) 

h. And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And 
they said. Seven, and a few little fishes. (Mat. 15:34.) 

i. And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea 
Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, 
Whom do men say that I am? (Mk. 8:27.) And it came to pass, as he 



was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, 
saying, Whom say the people that I am? (Luke 9:18.) Concerning his 
Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David ac- 
cording to the flesh. (Rom. 1:3.) 

j. Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and 
he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen 
from the dead; And of some, that Blias has appeared; and of others, that 
one of the old prophets was risen again. And Herod said, John have I 
beheaded: but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he de- 
sired to see him. (Luke 9:7-9.) 

k. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of 
the great and dreadful day of the Lord. (Mai. 4:5.) 

1. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art 
my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Ps. 2:7.) He said unto them, 
But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 
(Luke 9:20.) Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that be- 
lieveth that Jesus is the Son of God? (I Jno. 5:5.) 

m. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your- 
selves; it is the gift of God. (Eph. 2:8.) And he brought him to 
Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son 
of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is, by interpretation, A 
stone. (Jno. 1:42.) So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, 
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto 
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, 
Feed my Iambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of 
Jonas, lovest t"hou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that 
I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the 
third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved 
because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said 
unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. 
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (Jno. 21:15-17.) 

n. My soul thirsteth for God, for the li/ing God: when shall I come 
and appear before God? (Ps. 42:2.) And saying, Sirs, why do ye these 
things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto 
you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which 
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein. 
(Acts 14:15.) And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was 
said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the 
children of the living God. (Rom. 9:26.) Forasmuch as ye are mani- 
festly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not 
with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, 
but in fleshy tables of the heart. (II Cor. 3:3.) (For if a man know 
not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church 
of God?) (I Tim. 3:5.) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who 
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge 
your conscience from dead works to serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14.) 
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of 
the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to 
whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea. (Rev. 7:2.) 

o. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit 
searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (I Cor. 2:10.) To re- 
veal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; im- 
mediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. (Gal. 1:16.) 

p. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he 
said. Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, 
which is, by interpretation, A stone. (Jno. 1:42.) 

q. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a 
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure founda-

against it. 

19 And S I will give unto thee the keys 5 of 
the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever t thou 
shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: 
and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall 
be loosed in heaven. 

20 Then "charged he his disciples that they 
should tell no man that he was Je'sus the 
Christ. 

21 r From that time forth began Je'sus to 
shew unto his disciples, how that he must go 
unto Je-ru'sa-lem, and suffer l 'many things 
of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and 
be killed, and be raised again the third day. 

22 Then Pe'ter took him, and began to re- 
buke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: 
this shall not be unto thee. 

23 But he turned, and said unto Pe'ter, Get 
thee behind u 'me, 'Satan: thou art an offence 
unto me: for thou savotirest not the things 
that be of God, but those that be of men. 

24 r Then said ^ Je'sus unto his disciples, If 
any man mill come after me, let him deny him- 
self, and take y up his cross, and folloiu me.

5. The church is visibly represent- 
ed as a temple, which has keys, 
these keys being now turned over to 
the apostles and the responsibility of 
its keeping being placed upon them. 

6. In vs. 20-2S Christ predicts his 
own sufferings and ultimate coming 
to judge the world. 

7. Not that Christ is here calling 
Peter Satan, but that he recognized 
in the speech of Peter the spirit or 
will of Satan. 

Ch. 17. A. D. 32. 

1. In vs. 1-12 is an account of 
the transfiguration. 

2. While Mat. here gives sis days. 
Luke gives eight days; the difference 
being that Luke counts the first and 
last days, or the day of beginning 
and the day of ending, which are 
therefore only parts of days, and 
Mat. omits them. The expression 
means, sis days after the conversa- 
tion of eh. 16.

lose it: and whosoever will lose his life fc 
sake shall find it. 

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall 
gain the whole world, and lose his own soul' 
or z what shall a man give in exchange for his 
soul? 

27 For the Son a "of man shall come in the 
glory of his Father ^with his angels; and then 
cc he shall reward every man according to his 
works. 

28 Verily I say unto you, There be some 
standing here, which shall not taste of death, 
till they see the Son of man aa coming in his 
^kingdom. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 The transfiguration of Christ. 14 He heal-

sion, 24 and payeth tribute. 

1 \And a after six 2 days Je'sus taketh Pe'ter, 
James, and John his brother, and bringeth 
them up into an high mountain apart, 

2 And was transfigured before them: and 
his face did shine ac the sun, and his raiment 
was white as the light. 

3 And, behold, there appeared unto them

tion: he that believeth shall not make haste. (Is. 28:16.) And are built 
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself 
being the chief corner stone. (Eph. 2:20.) And the wall of the city had 
twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the 
Lamb. (Rev. 21:14.) 

r. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every 
tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. 
This is the heritage of the servants ot the Lord, and their righteous- 
ness is of me, saith the Lord. (Is. 54:17.) And thou, Capernaum, which 
art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty 
works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would 
have remained until this day. (Mat. 11:23.) 

s. Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and 
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. (Jno. 20:23.) And the 
key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder: so he shall open, 
and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. (Is. 22:22.) 
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, 
Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Rev. 1:18.) And to the 
angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that 
is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth 
and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth. (Rev. 3:7.) 

t. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall 
be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be 
loosed in heaven. (Mat. 18:18.) Whose soever sins ye remit, they are 
remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are re- 
tained. (Jno. 20:23.) 

u. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. 
(Mk. S:30.) And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell 
no man that thing. (Luke 9:21.) 

v. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, 
saying. Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again 
from the dead (9). But I say unto you. That Elias is come already, and 
they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. 
Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them (12). And while they 
abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them. The Son of man shall be be- 
trayed into the hands of men. (Mat. 17:9, 12, 22.) Behold, we go up to 
Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests 
and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death. (Mat. 20:18.) 
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet 
alive, After three days I will rise again. (Mat. 2i:63.) And he answered 
and told them, Elias verily eometh first, and restoreth all things; and 
how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer' many things, 
and be set at nought (12). For he taught his disciples, and said unto 
them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they 
shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. 
(Mk. 9:12, 31.) But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected 
of this generation. (Luke li:25.) For he shall be delivered unto the 
Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on. 
(Luke 18:32.) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, 
and in three days I will raise it up. (Jno. 2:19.) 

w. Then saith Jesus unto him. Get thee hence, Satan: for it is 
written. Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God. and him only shalt 
thou serve. (Mat. 4:10.) Because the carnal mind is enmity against 
God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can he. 
(Rom. 8:7.) 

x. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to 
continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter 
into the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22.) That no man should be moved 
hy these afflictions: for vourselves know that we are appointed there- 
unto. (I Thess. 3:3.) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus 
shall suffer persecution. (II Tim. 3:12.) 

y. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not 
worthy of me. (Mat. 10:38.) 

z. None of them, can by any means redeem his brother, nor give 
to God a ransom for him; (For the redemption of their soul is precious, 
and it ceaseth for ever.) (Ps. 49:7, 8.) 

aa. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came 
unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and 
what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (3). 
For as the lightning eometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the 
west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be (27). But as the days of 
Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be (37). And 
knew not until the flood came, and took them all awav; so shall also 
the coming of the Son of man be. iMat. 24:3, 27. 37, "39.) Whosoever 



therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous 
and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, 
when he eometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (Mk. 
8:38.) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with 
power and great glory. (Luke 21:27.) Which also s?id, ye men of Gal- 
ilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is 
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have 
seen him go into heaven. (Acts 1:11.) But every man in his own order: 
Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 
(I Cor. 15:23.) Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the 
Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the 
earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter 
rain. (Js. 5:7.) And now, little children, abide in him; that, when 
he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before 
him at his coming. (I Jno. 2:28.) Behold, he eometh with clouds; and 
every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kin- 
dreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Rev. 
1:7.) 

bb. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thou- 
sand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thou- 
sand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 
(Dan. 7:10.) And ye shall .flee to the valley of the mountains; for the 
valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like 
as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of 
Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. 
(Zech. 14:5.) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of 
these, saving, Behold, the Lord eometh with ten thousand of his saints. 
(Jude 14.) 

cc. I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every 
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 
(Jer. 17:10.) Who will render to every man according to his deeds. 
(Rom. 2:6.) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ: 
that everv one may receive the things done in his body, according to 
that, he hath done," whether it be good or bad. (II Cor. 5:10.) And if 
ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according 
to everv man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. 
(I Pet. 1:17.) And. behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me, 
to give every man according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.1 If 
thou sayest. Behold, we knew it not: doth not he that ponuereth the 
heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? 
and shall not he render to every man according to his works? (Prov. 
.24:12.) So then everv one of us shall give account of himself to God. 
(Rom. 14:12.) Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man. doeth. the 
same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. (Eph. 
6:8.) But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath 
done: and there is no respect of persons. (Col. 3:25.) And I will kill 
her children with death: and all the churches shall know that I am he 
which seareheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of 
vou according to vour works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

dd. And he said unto them. Verily I say unto you. That there be 
some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they 
have seen the kingdom of God come with power. (Mk. 9:1.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and 
John and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart hy themselves: 
and he was transfigured before them. (Mk. 9:2.) And it came to pass 
about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and 
James, and went up into a mountain-to pray. And as he pra.>ed, the 
fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and 
glistering. And, behold, there talked with him two men. which were 
Moses and Elias; Who appeared in glory, and spake-of his decease which 
he should accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and they that were with 
him were heaw with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his 
glorv and the "two men that stood with him. And it came to pass, as 
thev" departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good foi 
us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles: one for thee, ana one 
for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. While he thus 
spake, there came a cloud and overshadowed them: and they feared as 
they entered into the cloud. And there came a voice out of the cloud, 
saying, This is mv beloved Son: hear him. And when the voice was 
past. "jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man 
in those davs anv of those things which they had seen. (Luke 9:28-36.)

4 Then answered Pe'ter, and said unto Je'- 
sus, Lord, itis good for us to be here: if thou 
wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one 
for thee, and one for Moses, and one for E-li'as. 

5 While he ""yet spake, behold, a bright cloud 
overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of 
the cloud, which said, rf This is my beloved Son, 
in whom I am well pleased; c hear ye him. 

6 And fwhen the disciples heard it, they fell 
on their face, and were sore afraid. 

7 And Je'§us came and touched them, and 
said, Arise, and be not afraid. 

8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, 
they saw no man, save Je'sus only. 

9 And as they came down from the moun- 
tain, Je'sus charged them, saying, Tell the vi- 
sion to no man, until the Son of man be risen 
again from the dead. 

10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why 
then say the scribes that E-li'as mast first 
come? 

11 And Je'sus answered and said unto them, 
E-li'as truly shall first come, and restore sail 
things. 

12 But I say unto you, That E-li'as is come 
already, and they knew him not, but have done 
unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise 
shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 

13 Then the disciples understood that he 
spake unto them of John the Bap'tist. 

14 If "And when they were come to the multi- 
tude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling 
down to him, and saying, 

15 Lord, ''have mercy on my son : for he is 
lunatic, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he fall- 
eth into the fire, and oft into the water. 

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and 
they could not cure him. 

17 Then Je'sus answered and said, faith- 
less and perverse generation, how long shall 1 
be with you? how long shall I suffer you? 
bring him hither to me. 

18 And Je'§us rebuked the devil; and he 
departed out of him: and the child was cured 
from that very hour. 

19 Then came the disciples to Je'sus apart, 
and said, Why could not we cast him out? 

20 And Je'sus said unto them, Because of 
your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, i If 
ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye

21 Howoeit this kind goeth not out but by 
prayer and fasting. 

22 II And Jwhile they abode in Gal'i-lee, Je'- 
§us said unto them, The Son of man shall be 
betrayed into the hands of men: 

23 And they shall kid him, and the third 
day lie shall be raised again. And they were 
exceeding sorry. 

24 r i "And when they were come to Ca-per- 
na-um, they that received tribute money came 
to Pe'ter, and said, Doth not your master pay 
tribute? 

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was corno 
into the house, Je'sus prevented him, saying, 
What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the 
kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of 
their oimi children, or of strangers? 

26 Pe'ter saith unto him, Of strangers. Je'- 
sus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, 
and take up the fish that first cometh up; and 
when thou hast opened his 'mouth, thou shalt

them for me and thee. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 Christ warneth his disciples to be humble 
and harmless: 7 to avoid offences, and not 
to despise the little ones: i5 how to deal 
with our brethren, when they offend us: 
21 and hoiv oft to forgive them: 23 parable 
of the king, that took account of his serv- 
ants. 

1 'At the "same time erne the disciples unto 
Je'sus, saying, Who is the greatest in the king- 
dom of heaven. 

2 And Je'sus called a little child unto him, 
and set him in the midst of them, 

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye 
be converted, h and become as little "children, 
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

4 Whosoever c therefore shall humble him- 
self as this little child, the same is greatest in 
the kingdom of heaven. 

5 And d whoso shall receive one such little 
child in my name receiveth me. 



c. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when 
there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my 
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (II Pet. 1:17.) 

d. And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove 
upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my 
beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. (Luke 3:22.) Behold my servant, 
whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my 
Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. (Is. 
42:1.) 

e. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the 
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken. 
(Dt. 18:15.) For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall 
the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; 
him snail ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. (Acts 
3:22.) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh: for if they escape 
not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we 
escape if we turn away from' him that speaketh from heaven. (Heb. 
12:25.) 

f. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were 
with him in the holy mount. (II Pet. 1:18.) 

g. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and 
the heart of the children to their fathers, lest-1 come and smite the earth 
with a curse. (Mai. 4:6.) Many of the children of Israel shall he turn 
to the Lord their God. (Luke 1:16.) 

h. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast en- 
larged me when I was in distress: have mercy upon me, and hear my 
prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, 
with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. (Ps. 18:25 ) Hear 
me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn unto me according 
- to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 69:16.) And the publican, 
standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but 
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 
18:13.) 

i. Jesus said unto him. If thou canst believe, all thines are oossible 
to him that be'.ieveth. (Mk. 9:23.) And the Lord said. If ye had faith 
as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto th's sycamine tree, Be 
thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it 
should obey you. (Luke 17:6.) To another faith by the same Spirit; 
to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit. (I Cor. 12:9.) Jesus 
answered and said unio them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, 
and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, 
but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be 
thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. (Mat. "21: 21.) For verily I say 
unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou re- 



moved, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, 
but shall believe that those tnings which he saith shall come to pass; 
he shall have whatsoever he saith. (Mk. 11:23.) 

j. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer 
many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and 
scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. (Mk. 8:31.) He 
is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he- 
was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the 
hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 
(Luke 24:6, 7.) 

k. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cesar the things 
that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they mai • 
veiled at him. (Mk. 12:17.) Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor 
to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. (I Cor. 10:32.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should 
be greatest. (Luke 9:40.) And there was also a strife among them, 
which of them should be accounted the greatest. (Luke 22:24.) And he 
came to Capernaum: and, being in the house, he asked them, What 
was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? But they held 
their peace: for by the way they had d.sputed among themselves, who 
should be the greatest. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and 
saith unto them. If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of 
all, and servant of all. And he took a child, and set him in the midst 
of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, 
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: 
and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent 
me. (Mk. 9:33-37.) 

b. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is 
weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a woaned child. (Ps. 131:2.) 
But Jesus called them unto him, and said. Suffer little children to come 
unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. (Luke 
1S:16.) Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice 
be ye ch'ldren, but in understanding be men. (I Cor. 14:20.) As new- 
born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow 
thereby. (I Pet. 2:2.) But Jesus said. Suffer little children, and forbid 
them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 
19:14.) 

c. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and hs shall lift 
you up. (Js. 4:10.) 

d. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones 
a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto 
you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. (Mat. 10:42.)

6 But whoso e shall 'offend one of these little 
ones which believe in me, it were better for 
him that a millstone were hanged about his 
neck, and that he ivere drowned in the depth 
of the sea. 

7 r i Woe unto the world because of offences! 
for fit must needs be that offences come; but 
woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 

8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend 
thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: 
it is better for thee to enter into life halt or 
maimed, rather than having two hands or two 
feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 

9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, 
and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to 
enter into life with one eye, rather than having 
tivo eyes to be cast into hell fire. 

10 ''Take heed that ye despise not one of 
these little ones; for I say unto you, That in 
heaven their ^angels do always behold the face 
of my Father which is in heaven. 

11 For the Son of man is come to save that 
which was lost. 

12 How- think ye? if a man have an hundred 
sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth 
he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into 
the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone 
astray? 

13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say 
'unto you, he reioiceth more of that sheep, than 
of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 

14 Even so it is not the will of your Father 
which is in heaven, that one of these little ones 
should perish. 

15 r ; r 'Moreover ll if thy brother shall trespass 
against thee, go and tell him his fault between 
thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou 
'hast gained thy brother. 

16 But if he will not hear thee, then take 
with thee one or tivo more, that Hn the mouth 
of two or three witnesses every word may be 
established. 

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, Hell 
it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear 
the church, Uet him be unto thee as an "'heathen 
man and a publican.

Jesus encourages a union of effort, 
that effort to be for some definite

in the midst of them. 



8. In vs. 21-35 is an account of

and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall 
be loosed in heaven. 

19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you 
shall agree on earth as touching any thing that 
they shall ask, Ht shall be done for them of 
my Father which is in heaven. 

20 For where two or 'three are gathered to- 
gether in my name, there lam "I in the midst of 
them. 

21 H Then came Pe'ter to him, and said, 
Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against 
me, and I forgive him? 'till seven times? 

22 Je'sus saith unto him, / say not unto thee, 
Until seven times: but, s Until seventy times 
seven. 

23 r Therefore is the kingdom of heaven 
likened unto a certain king, which would take 
account of his servants. 

24 And u'hen he had begun to reckon, one 
was brought unto him, which owed him ten 
thousand talents. 

* 25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his 
lord commanded him f to be sold, and his wife, 
and children, and all that he had, and payment 
to be made. 

26 The servant therefore fell down, and wor- 
shipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with 
me, and I will pay thee all. 

27 Then the lord of that servant was moved 
with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave 
him the debt. 

28 Bui the same servant went out, and found 
one of his fellowservants, which owed him v an 
hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and 
took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that 
thou oivest. 

29 Arid his fellowservant fell down at his 
feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience 
with me, and I will pay thee all. 

30 And he would not: but went and cast him 
into prison, till he should pay the debt. 

31 So when his fellowservants saiv what was 
done, they were very sorry, and came and told 
%into their lord all that ivas done. 

32 Then his lord, after that he had called 
him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I

in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, 
and he were cast into the sea. (Mk. 9:42.) It were better for him that 
a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than 
that he should offend one of these little ones. (Luke 17:2.) 

f. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak 
conscience, ye sin against Christ. (I Cor. 8:12.) Then said he unto the 
disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto 
him through whom they come! (Luke 17:1.) For there must be also 
heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made mani- 
fest among you. (I Cor. 11:19.) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that 
in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to 
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (I Tim. 4:1.) The Son of man 
goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son 
of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been 
born. (Mat. 26:24.) 

g. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear 
him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) Are they not all ministering 
spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? 
(Heb. 1:14.) And the angel answering said unto him. I am Gabriel, that 
stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to 
show thee these good tidings. (Luke 1:19.) And I saw the seven angels 
which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. (Rev. 
8:2.) 

h. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in 
any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him. (Lev. 
19:17.) Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, 
rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. (Luke 17:3.) Brethren, if 
a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual restore such an 
one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also he 
tempted. (Gal. 6:1.) Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him 
as a brother. (II Thess. 3:15.) Brethren, if any of you do err from the 
truth, and one convert him. (Js. 5:19.) 

i. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the 
error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multi- 
tude of sins. (.Js. 5:20.) 

j. One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or 
for any sin in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, 
or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. 
(Dt. 19:15.) This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth 
of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (II Cor. 13:1.) 
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three 
witnesses. (Heb. 10:28.) It is also written in your law. that the testi- 
mony of two men is true. (Jno. S:17.) Against an elder receive not 
an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. (I Tim. 5:19.) 

k. Thf-m that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 
(I Tim. 5:2". 1 Dare any of you. having a matter against another, go 
to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? (I Cor. 6:1.) 



1. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh 
disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us (6). And 
if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have 
no company with him, that he may be ashamed. (II Thess. 3:6, 14.) 

m. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions 
and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid 
them. (Rom. 16:17.) Now we command you, brethren, in the name of 
our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother 
that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received 
of us. (II Thess. 3:6.) If there come any unto you, and bring not this 
doctrine, receive him not in your house, neither bid him God speed. 
(II Jno. 10.) 

n. Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and 
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. (Jno. 20:23.) 

0. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be 
reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Mat. 5:24.) 

p. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, 
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man 
availeth much. (Js. 5:16.) This is the confidence that we have in him, 
that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. (I Jno. 
5:14.) 

q. It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name 
of the city from that day shall be. The Lord is there. (Ez. 48:35.) 
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: 
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. 
(Mat. 28:20.) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gath- 
ered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
(I Cor. 5:4.) Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These 
things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who 
walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. (Rev. 2:1.) And 
I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying. Behold, the tabernacle of 
God is with men. and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his 
people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Rev. 
21:3.) 

r. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day. and seven 
times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive 
him. (Luke 17:4.) 

s. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man 
have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 
(Col. 3:13.)

prophets unto Elisha, saying. Thy servant my husband is dead: and thou 
knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come 
to take unto him my tws sons to be bondmen. (II Ks. 4:1.)

CHAPTER 19. 
2 Christ healeth the sick: 3 answereth the 
Pharisees concerning divorcement : 10 sheiv- 
eth when marriage is necessary : 13 receiveth 
little children: 16 instructelh the young 
man how to attain eternal life: 23 telleth 
his disciples how hard it is for a rich man to 
enter into the kingdom of God. 

1 *And it came to pass, that when Je'§us had 
finished these sayings, he departed : from Gal- 
i-lee, and came into the coasts of Ju-dse'a be- 
yond Jor'dan; 

2 And great multitudes followed him; and 
he healed them there. 

3 If The Phar'I-see§ also came unto him, 
tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it law- 
ful for a man to put away his wife for every 
cause? 

4 And he answered and said unto them, 
Have ye not read, "that he which made them 
at the beginning made them male and female, 

5 And said, b For this cause shall a man 
leave father and mother, and shall cleave to 
his wife: and c they twain shall be one flesh 1 ? 

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but 
one flesh. What therefore God hath joined to- 
gether, let no man put asunder. 

7 They say unto him, d Why did M5'§e§ then 
command to give a writing of divorcement, and 
to put her away? 

8 He saith unto them, Mo'§e§ because of the 
hardness of your hearts suffered you to put 
away your wives: but c from the beginning it 
was not so. 

9 And fl say unto you, Whosoever shall put 
away his wife, except it be for fornication, 
and shall marry another, committeth adultery: 
and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth 
commit adultery.

of the man be so with his wife, it is not good 
to marry.

16 If 4 And, behold, one came and said unto 
him, *Good Master, what good thing shall I do, 
that I may have eternal life? 

17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou 
me good? there is none good but one, that is, 
God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the 
commandments. 

18 He saith unto him, Which? Je'§us said, 
'Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not com- 
mit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt 
not bear false witness, 

19 Honour '"thy father and thy mother: and, 
"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

20 The young man saith unto him, All these 
things have I kept from my youth up: what 
lack I yet? 

21 5 Je'§us said unto him, // thou wilt be per- 
fect, °go and sell that thou hast, and give to 
the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in 
heaven: and come and follow me. 

22 But when the young man heard that say- 
ing, he went away sorrowful : for he had great 
possessions. 

23 If "Then said Je'§us unto his disciples, 
Verily I say unto you, That Pa rich man shall 
hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier 
for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, 
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom 
of God. 

25 When his disciples heard it, they were 
exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be 
saved? 

26 But Je'§us beheld them, and said unto 
them, With men this is impossible; but with 
iGod all things are possible. 

27 If Then answered Pe'ter and said unto 



v. And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one an- 
other, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Eph. 4:32.) 
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have 
a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you. so also do ye. (Col. 
3:13.) 

w. Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall 
cry himself, but shall not be heard. (Prov. 21:13.) And forgive us our 
debts, as we forgive our debtors. (Mat. 6:12.) For he shall have judg- 
ment without mercy that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth 
against judgment. (Js. 2:13.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God 
created he him; male and female created he them. (Gen. 1:27.) And 
did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the Spirit. And where- 
fore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to 
your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his 
youth. (Mai. 2:15.) 

b. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and 
shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Gen. 2:24.) For 
this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined 
unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. (Eph. 5:31.) 

c. What! know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one 
body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (I Cor. 6:16.) 

d. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come 
to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some 
uncleanness in her; then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and 
give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. (Dt. 24:1.) 

e. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for 
the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall 
find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. (Jer. 
6:16.) 

f. But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, 
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and 
whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (Mat. 
5:32.) And unto the married I command, yet not I, hut the Lord, Let 
not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her 



remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the 
husband py,t away his wife. (I Cor. 7:10, 11.) 

g. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious 
and an angry woman. (Prov. 21:19.) 

h. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man 
hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after 
that (7). But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better 
to marry than to burn (9). But as God hath distributed to every man, 
as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I 
in all churches. (I Cor. 7:7, 9, 17.) 

i. Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as 
other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? (5). But 
I have used none of these things; neither have I written these things, 
that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than 
that any man should make my glorying void. (I Cor. 9:5, 15.) 

j. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch 
them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. (Luke 18:15.) 

k. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and' tempted him, say- 
ing, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (Luke 10:25.) 

1. Thou shalt not kill. (Ex. 20:13.) Thou shalt not kill. (Dt. 5:17.) 

m. For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, 
He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. (Mat. 15:4.) 

n. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children 
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the 
Lord. (Lev. 19:18.) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in 
this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Gal. 5:14.) 

o. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which 
wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fadeth not, where no thief 
approacheth, nor moth corrupteth. (Lu. 12:33.) And sold their pos- 
sessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 
(Acts 2:45.) 

p. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men 
after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. (I Cor. 
1:26.) But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and 
into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction 
and perdition. (I Tim. 6:9.)

him, Behold, r we have forsaken all, and fol- 
lowed thee; what shall we have therefore? 

28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say 
unto you, That ye which have followed me, in 
the s regeneration when the Son of man shall 
sit in the throne of his glory, ye t also shall sit 
upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes 
of Is'ra-el. 

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, 
or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, 
or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's 
sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall 
inherit everlasting life. 

30 But "many that are first shall be last; 
and the last shall be first. 

CHAPTER 20. 
1 Christ sheweth that God is debtor unto no 
man: 17 foretelleth his passion: 20 by an- 
swering the mother of Zebedee's children he 
teacheth his disciples to be lowly: 30 and 
giveth two blind men their sight. 

1 ^or the kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
man that is an householder, which went "out 
early in the morning to hire labourers into his 
vineyard. 

2 And when he had agreed with the labour- 
ers for a penny a day, he sent them into his 
vineyard. 

3 And he went out about the third hour, and 
saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 

4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the 
vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give 
you. And they went their way. 

5 Again he went out about the sixth and 
ninth hour, and did likewise. 

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, 
and found others standing idle, and saith unto 
them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 

7 They say unto him, Because no man hath 
hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into 
the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that 
shall ye receive. 

8 So "when even was come, the lord of the 
vineyard saith unto his steward. Call the la- 
bourers, and give them their hire, beginning 
from the last unto the first. 

9 And when they came that were hired about 
the eleventh hour, they received every man a 
penny. 

10 Bdt when the first came, they supposed 
that they should have received more; and they 
likeivise received every man a penny. 

11 And when they had received it, they mur- 
mured against the goodman of the house,

Ch, 20. A. D. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-16 is an account of 
the parable of the laborers in the 
vineyard. This parable is recorded 
only by Mat., and is given in answer 
to Peter's question asking how it 
shall be with those who. like him- 
self, have left all to follow Christ. 
The parable also shows that no works 
of man can possibly confer a favor 
on God; that works alone cannot 
save him. but that he must get right, 
repent of sin, and keep right. 



2. The man went cut.

hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, 
which have borne the burden and heat of the 
day. 

13 But he ansivered one of them, and said, 
Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou 
agree with me for a penny? 

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I 
will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will 
with mine own? h Is thine eye evil, because I am 
good? 

16 So c the last shall be first, and the first 
last: d for many be called, but few chosen. 

17 f 3 And Je'sus going up to Je-ru'sa-lem 
took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and 
said unto them, 

18 Behold, c we go up to Je-ru'sa-lem; and 
the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief 
priests and unto the scribes, and they shall 
condemn him to death, 

19 And f shall deliver him to the Gen' tiles to 
mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and 
the third day he shall rise again. 

20 U 4 Then came to him the mother of Zeb'e- 
dee's children with her sons, worshipping him, 
and desiring a certain thing of him. 

21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? 
She saith unto him, Grant that these my two 
sons -"may sit, the one on thy right hand, and 
the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. 

22 But Je'sus answered and said, Ye know 
not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the 
h cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized 
with 'the baptism that I am baptized with? 
They say unto him, We are able. 

23 And he saith unto them, JYe shall drink 
indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the 
baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on 
my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to 
k give, but it shall be given to them for whom 
it is prepared of my Father. 

24 And when the ten heard it, they were 
moved with indignation against the two breth- 
ren. 

2-5 But Je'sus called them unto him, and said, 
Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles ex- 
ercise dominion over them, and they that are 
great exercise authority upon them. 

26 But it shall not be so among you: but 
whosoever will be great among you, let him be 
your minister; 

27 And 'whosoever will be chief among you, 
let him be your servant: 

28 Even '"as the Son of man came not to be 



can be withholden from thee. (Job 42:2.) Ah Lord God! behold, thou 
hast made the heaven and the earth by that great power and stretched- 
out arm. and there is nothing too hard for thee. (Jer. 32:17.) For with 
God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37.) 

r. Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him: 
neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: 
for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. (Dt. 33:9.) 
And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. (Mat. 4:20.) 
Ar-1 when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and 
followed him. (Luke 5:11.) 

s. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old 
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (II Cor. 
5:17.) 

t. Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? end if the 
world shall be judged by you, are ye unw-orthy to juc'ge the smallest 
matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? Low much more 
things that pertain to this life! (I Cor. 6:2, 3.) 

u. So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, 
but few chosen. (Mat. 20:16.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things 
as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house 
to house. (Luke 10:7.) 

b. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither 
desire thou his dainty meats. fProv. 23:6.) But if thine eye be evil, 
thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that 
is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Mat. 6:23.) 

c. But many that are first shall be last; u:d the lact shall be first. 
(Mat. 19:30.) 

d. For many are called, but few are chosen. (Mat. 22:14.) 

e. From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, 
how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the 
elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again 
the third day. (Mat. 16:21.) 



f. And when they had bound him, they led him away, and deliv- 
ered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. (Mat. 27:2.) The God of 
Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glori- 
fied his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the pres- 
ence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. (Acts 3:13.) 

g. And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which 
have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit 
in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging 
the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mat. 19:28..) Ye ask. and receive not, be- 
cause ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (Js. 4:3.) 

h. And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take 
awav this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou 
wilt. (Mk. 14:36.) 

i. But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I strait- 
ened till it be accomplished! (Luke 12:50.) 

j. And he [Herod] killed James the brother of John with the sword. 
(Acts 12:2.) And if children, then heirs: heirs of God, and joint-heirs 
with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him. that we may be also glori- 
fied together. (Rom. S:17.) I John, who also am your brother, and 
companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus 
Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and 
for the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev. 1:9.) 

k. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, 
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from 
the foundation of the world. (Mat. 25:34.) But now they desire a better 
country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be 
called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. (Heb. 11:16.) 

1. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, 
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 18:4.) 

in. He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took 
a towel, and girded himself. (Jno. 13:4.) But made himself of no rep- 
utation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in 
the likeness of men. (Phil. 2:7.)

29 ; And as they departed from Jer'i-cho, a 
great multitude followed him. 

30 11 Arid, behold, two blind men sitting by 
the way side, when they heard that Je'sus 
passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, 

Lord, thou son of Da'vid. 

31 And the multitude rebuked them, because 
they should hold their peace: but they cried 
the more, saying, Have mercy son us, Lord, 
thou son of Da'vid. 

32 And Je'sus stood still, and called them, 
and said, What will ye that I shall do unto 
you ? 

33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes 
may be opened. 

34 So Je'sus had ''compassion on them, and 
touched their eyes : and immediately their eyes 
received sight, and they .followed him. 

CHAPTER 21. 

1 Christ rideth into Jerusalem, 12 driveth the 
buyers and sellers out of the temple, 23 
putteth to silence the priests and elders, 28 
and rebuketh them by the similitude of the 
two sons, 33 and the husbandn.ien, ivho sleiv 
such as were sent unto them. 

1 'And when they drew nigh unto Je-ru'sa-

L mount of 61'ives, then sent Je'sus two dis- 
ciples, 

2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over 
against you, and straightway ye shall find an 
ass tied, and a colt ivith her: loose them, and 
bring them unto me. 

3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye 
shall say, The Lord hath need b of them; and 
straightway he will send them. 

4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 

5 Tell c ye the daughter of Sl'on, Behold, thy 
King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon 
an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 

6 And the disciples went, and did as Je'sus 
commanded them, 

7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and 
J put on them their clothes, and they set him 
thereon.

the ^prophet of Naz'a-reth of Gal'i-lee.

God, and cast out all them that sold and bought 
in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the 
'moneychangers, and the seats of them that 
sold doves,

house shall be called the house of prayer; but 
ye have made it a den of thieves. 

14 And the blind and the lame came to him 
in the temple; and he healed them. 

15 And when the chief priests and scribes 
saw the wonderful things that he did, and the 
children crying in the temple, and saying, Ho- 
san'na to the son of Da'vid; they were sore 
displeased, 

16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what 
these say? And Je'sus saith unto them, Yea; 
have ye never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes 
and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

city into Beth'a-ny; and he lodged there.

the city, he hungered. 

19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, 
he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but 
leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow 
on thee henceforward for ever. And presently 
the fig tree withered away. 

20 And when 7 the disciples saw it, they mar- 
velled, saying, How soon is the fig tree with- 
ered away! 

21 Je'sus answered and said unto them, Ver- 
ily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt 
not, ye shall not only do this which is done to 
the fig tree, but J: also if ye shall say unto this 
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast

in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

the chief priests and the elders of the people 
came unto him as he was teaching, and said,

serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that 
serveth. (Luke 22:27.) If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed 
your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. (Jno. 13:14.) 

o. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: 
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his 
seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall pros- 
per in his hand. (Is. 53:10.) O Lord, according, to all thy righteousness, 
I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy 
city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the 
iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a re- 
proach to all that are about us. (Dan. 9:16.) And this spake he not 
of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus 
should die for that nation: And not for that nation only, but that also 
he should gather together in one the children of God that were scat- 
tered abroad. (Jno. 11:51, 52.) 

p. This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many 
(or the remission of sins. (Mat. 26:28.) So Christ was once offered to 
bear the sins of many: and unto them that look for him shall he appear 
the second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:28.) 

q. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast en- 
larged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my 
prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: 
turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 
69:16.) And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented accord- 
ing to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) Be ye therefore merci- 
ful, as your father also is merciful. (Luke 6:36.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and 
Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples. 
iMk. 11:1.) And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of 
Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives 
shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, 
and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall 
remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. (Zeeh. 14:4.) 

b. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though 
he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his 
poverty might be rich. (II Cor. S:9.) 

c. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jeru- 



salem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having 
salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an 
ass. (Zech. 9:9.) 

d. Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put 
it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, 
Jehu is king! (II Ks. 9:13.) 

e. Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send 
now prosperity. (Ps. 118:25.) 

f. And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, 
and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and 
overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that 
sold doves. (Mk. 11:15.) And he went into the temple, and began to 
cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought. (Luke 19:45.) 

g. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, 
said. This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. 
(Jno. 6:14.) 

h. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them 
all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the 
changers' money, and overthrew the tables. (Jno. 2:15). 

i. Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in 
thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall 
choose. (Dt. 14:25.)

strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy 
and the avenger. (Ps. 8:2.) 

k. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all 
mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I 
could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. (I Cor. 
13:2.) 

1. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) Confess your faults one 
to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The ef- 
fectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Js. 5:16.) 

m. And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? in- 
tendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses 
feared, and said. Surely this thing is known. (Ex. 2:14.) And when 
they had set them in the midst, they asked. By what power, or by what 
name, have ye done this? (Acts 4:7.)

24 And "Je'sus answered and said unto them, 
/ also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell 
me, I in like wise will tell you by what author- 
ity I do these things. 

25 The baptism of John, whence was it? 
from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned 
with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From 
heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not 
then believe him? 

26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the 
people; for all hold John as a prophet. 

27 And they answered Je'sus, and said, We 
cannot tell. And he said unto them, X either 
tell I yon by ichat authority I do these things. 

28 rs But what think ye? A certain man had 
two sons; and he came to the first, and said, 
Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 

29 He answered and said, I will not: but 
afterward he repented, and went. 

30 And he came to the second, and said like- 
wise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: 
and went not. 

31 Whether of them twain did the vvill of his 
father? They say unto him, The first. Je'sus 
saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That 
the publicans and the harlots go into the king- 
dom of God before you. 

32 For John came unto you in the way of 
righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the 
publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, 
when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, 
that ye might believe him. 

33 ri "Hear another parable: There was a 
certain householder , "which planted a vineyard, 
and hedged it round about, and digged a wine- 
press in it, and built a tower, and let it out 
to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 

34 And when the time of the fruit drew 
near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, 
fthat they might receive the fruits of it. 

35 And the ^husbandmen took his servants, 
and beat one, and killed another, and stoned 
another. 

36 Again, he sent other servants more than 
the first: and they did unto them likewise. 

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, 
saying, They will reverence my son. 

38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, 
they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; 
come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his 
inheritance. 

39 And they s caught him, and cast him out 
of the vineyard, and slew him. 

40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard 
cometh, what will he do unto those husband- 
men? 

41 They say unto him, ^He will miserably 
destroy those wicked men, "and will let out his 
vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall 
render him the fruits in their seasons. 



0. In vs. 28-32 is the parable of 
the two sons, in which Christ re- 
veals to the people their moek piety 
and its effect. 



10. In vs. 33-46 is an account of 
the parable of the wicked husband- 
man. 



Ch. 22, A. D. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-14 is the parable of 
the marriage of the king's son, and 
is nowhere recorded except by Mat. 
In this parable Christ illustrates 
God's dealings with the Jews in vs. 
1-7. while in vs. S-10 is traced the 
vocation of the Gentiles to the day 
of judgment. In vs. 11-14 he con- 
demns those who, like the Pharisee, 
are clad in their own righteousness. 



2. Alluding to the preaching of 
the apostles and the seventy before 
the death of Christ. 



The Jews. 



4. Because of their effrontery and 
rejection of his invitation. 



5. Representing those who had re- 
jected Christ and had clad them- 
selves in the garment of their own 
righteousness. 



42 Je'sus saith unto them, Did ye never read 
in the scriptures, The stone which the builders 
rejected, the same is become the head of the 
corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is mar- 
vellous in our eyes? 

43 Therefore say I unto you, v The kingdom 
of God shall be taken from you, and given to a 
nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone 
shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall 
fall, lc it will grind him to powder. 

45 And when the chief priests and Phari- 
sees had heard his parables, they perceived 
that he spake of them. 

46 But when they sought to lay hands on 
him, they feared the multitude, because they 
took him for a prophet. 

CHAPTER 22. 
1 The parable of the marriage of the king's 
son. 12 The punishment of him that want- 
ed the wedding garment. 15 Tribute ought 
to be paid to Caesar. 23 Christ confuteth 
the Sadducees for the resurrection: 34 and 
answereth the lawyer, which is the first and 
great commandment. 

1 "And Je'sus answered a and spake unto 
them again by parables, and said, 

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a cer- 
tain king, which made a marriage for his son, 

3 And sent forth his 'servants to call them 
that 2 were bidden to the wedding: and they 
would not come. 

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, say- 
ing, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have 
prepared my dinner: my oxen and my failings 
are killed, and all things are ready: come unto 
the marriage. 

5 But they made light of it, and went their 
ways, one to his farm, another to his merchan- 
dise: 

6 And the ^remnant took his servants, and 
entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 

7 Bu.t when the king heard thereof, he was 
wroth: and he sent forth c his armies, and des- 
troyed those murderers, and burned up their 
city. 

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wed- 
ding is ready, but they which xvere bidden 
were d not i worthy. 

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and 
as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 

10 So those servants went out into the high- 
ways, and e gathered together all as many as 
they found, both bad and good: and the wed- 
ding was furnished with guests. 

11 r And when the king came in to see the 
guests, he saw there a man f which had not on 
a 'wedding garment: 



n. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of 
the froward is carried headlong. (Job 5:13.) 

o. Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep 
root, and it filled the land. (Ps. 80:9.) Xow will I sing to my well- 
beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well-beloved 
hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill. (Is. 5:1.) Yet I had planted 
thee a noble vine, whollj- a right seed; how then art thou turned into 
the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? (Jer. 2:21.) 

p. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vine- 
yard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thou- 
sand pieces of silver. (Song 8:11.) 

q. And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at 
the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord. 
(II Chr. 24:21.) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your re- 
ward in heaven: for so persecuted thev the prophets which were before 
you. (Mat. 5:12.) 

r. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inher- 
itance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thv possessions. (Ps. 
2:8.) * 

s. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowl- 
edge of God, ye have taken, and bv wicked hands have crucified and 
slain. (Acts 2:23.) 

t. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation: which 
at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto 
us by them that heard him. (Heb. 2:3.) 

u. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was neces- 
sary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but 
seeing ye put it from you. and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting 
Life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46.) 



v. The children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer dark- 
ness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 8:12.) 

w. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; 
yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. (Is. 60:12.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and 
bade many. (Luke 14:16.) And he saith unto me. Write, Blessed are 
they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he 
saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Rev. 19:9.) 

b. Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and 
have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to al! 
men. (I Thess. 2:15.) 

c. The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city 
and the sanctuary. (Dan. 9:26.) But those mine enemies, which would 
not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before 
me. (Luke 19:27.) 

d. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who 
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. (Mat. 10:11.) Then 
Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said. It was necessary that the word 
of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from 
vou, and judge yourselves unworthv of everlasting life, lo, we turn to 
the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46.) 

e. The field is the world: the good seed are the children of the 
kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one. (Mat. 13:38.) 

f. If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. (II Cor. 
5:3.) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in 
righteousness and true holiness. (Eph. 4:24.) Thou hast a few names 
in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk 
with me in white: for they are worthy. (Rev. 3:4.)

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how 
earnest thou in hither not having a wedding 
garment? And he ^was speechless. 

13 Then said the king to his servants, Bind 
him hand and foot, and take him away, and 
cast him into outer darkness; there shall be 
weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

14 For hnany are called, but few are chosen. 

15 ^°Then went the Phar'i-see§, and took 
counsel how they might entangle him in his 
talk. 

16 And they sent out unto him their disci- 
ples with the He-ro'dI-an§, saying, Master, we 
know that thou art true, and teachest the way 
of God in truth, neither carest thou for any 
man: for thou regardest not the person of 
men. 

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? 
Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cae'sar, or 
not? 

18 But Je'sus perceived their wickedness, 
and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 

19 Shew me the tribute money. And they 
brought unto him a penny. 

20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this 
image and superscription? 

21 They say unto him, Caspar's. Then saith 
he unto them, 'Render therefore unto Qie'§ar 
the things which are Cse'§ar's; and unto God 
the things that are God's. 

22 When they had heard these words, they 
marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 

23 1 7 The same day came to him the Sad'- 
du-cee§, -'which say that there is no resurrec- 
tion, and asked him, 

24 Saying, Master, 7 >'M6'se§ said, If a man 
die, having no children, his brother shall marry 
his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: 
and the first, when he had married a wife, 
deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife 
unto his brother: 

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, 
unto the seventh. 

27 And last of all the woman died also. 

28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife 
shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 

29 Je'sus answered and said unto them, Ye 
do err, 2 not knowing the scriptures, nor the 
power of God. 

30 s For in the resurrection they neither 
marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as 
m the angels of God in heaven. 

31 But as touching the resurrection of the I 



6. In vs. 15-46 the Pharisees, and 
others of their kind, ask many ques- 
tions of Jesus about tribute, the 
resurrection and the great command- 
ment. 



7. In vs. 23-33 is an account of 
the questions of the Sadducees and 
Christ's answer. 



8. Christ corrects their error con- 
cerning human relations in heaven. 



9. In vs. 34-40 is an account of 
the questions with the lawyer. 



10. Not only the greatest, but 
that which embraces all the others. 



11. That is, founded in love. 



12. In vs. 41-46 is an account of 
our Lord's questioning the Pharisees 
concerning what they think of Christ. 



Ch. 23. A. D. 33. 



1. In this ch., Christ reproves the 
scribes and Pharisees, pronounces his 
lamentation over Jerusalem and his 
farewell to the temple. 



dead, have ye not read that which was spoken 
unto you by God, saying^ 

32 / "am the God of A' bra-ham, and the God 
of i'§aac, and the God of J a' cob? God is not 
the God of the dead, but of the living. 

33 And when the multitude heard this, °they 
were astonished at his doctrine. 

34 If 9 But when the Phar'i-see§ had heard 
that he had put the Sad'du-cee§ to silence, they 
were gathered together. 

35 Then one of them, which was Pa. lawyer, 
asked him a question, tempting him, and say- 
ing, 

36 Master, which is the great commandment 
in the law? 

37 Je'sus 10 said unto him, iThoxi shalt love 
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with 
all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 

38 This is the first and great commandment. 

39 And the second is % Hike unto it, r Thou 
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

40 On s these two commandments hang all 
the laiv and the prophets. 

41 1f "While the Thar'i-see? were gathered 
together, Je'sus asked them, 

42 Saying, 'What think ye of Christ? whose 
son is he? They say unto him, The son of 
Da'vid. 

43 He saith unto them, How then doth Da- 
vid in "spirit call him Lord, saying, 

44 The l 'Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou 
on my right hand, till I make thine enemies 
thy footstool? 

45 If Da'vid then call him Lord, hoiv is he 
his son? 

46 And no man was able to answer him a 
word, neither durst any man from that day 
forth ask him any more questions. 

CHAPTER 23. 
1 Christ admonisheth the people not to follow 
the evil examples of the scribes and Phari- 
sees. 5 His disciples must beivare of their 
ambition. 

1 Then 'spake Je'§us to the multitude, and 
to his disciples, 

2 Saying, "The scribes and the Phdr'i-sees 
sit in Mo'§e§' seat: 

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you ob- 
serve, that observe and do; but do not ye after 
their works: for h they say, and do not. 

4 For c they bind heavy burdens and griev- 
ous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoul- 
ders; but they themselves will not move them 
with one of their fingers. 



g. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith 
to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and 
all the world may become guilty before God. (Rom. 3:19.) 

h. So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, 
but few chosen. (Mat. 20:16.) 

i. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cesar the things 
that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they mar- 
velled at him. (Mk. 12:17.) And he said unto them, Render therefore 
unto Cesar the things which be Cesar's, and unto God the things which 
be God's. (Luke 20:25.) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to 
whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; 
honor to whom honor. (Rom. 13:7.) 

j. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, 
nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both. (Acts 23:8.) Now if Christ 
be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that 
there is no resurrection of the dead? (I Cor. 15:12.) 

k. And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the Lord ; 
and the Lord slew him. And Tudah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy 
brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. (Gen. 
38:7, 8.) If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no 
child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger:" 
her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to 
wife, and perform the duty cf an husband's brother unto her. (Dt. 25:5.) 

1. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again 
from the dead. (Jno. 20:9.) Having the understanding darkened, being 
alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, 
because of the blindness of their heart. (Eph. 4:18.) 

m. Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet ap- 
pear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we 
shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) 

n. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abra- 
ham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; 
for he was afraid to look upon God. (Ex. 3:6.) And as touching the 
dead, that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the 
bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the 
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? (Mk. 12:26.) But now they desire 
a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed 



to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city. (Heb. 
11:16.) 

0. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the 
people were astonished at his doctrine. (Mat. 7:28.) 

p. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying. 
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (Luke 10 :25.) 

q. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and 
with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Dt. 6:5.) And now, Israel, what 
doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, 
to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy 
God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Dt. 10:12.) My son, 
give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. (Prov. 23:26.) 

r. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children 
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the 
Lord. (Lev. 19:18.) Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt 
love thy neighbor as thyself. (Mat. 19:19.) If ye fulfil the royal law- 
according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye 
do well. (Js. 2:8.) 

s. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to 
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets. (Mat. 
7:12.) 

t. And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? 
(Luke 20:41.) 

u. The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my 
tongue. (II Sam. 23:2.) 

v. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I 
make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) For he must reign, till 
he hath put all enemies under his feet. (I Cor. 15:25.) But to which of 
the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make 
thine enemies thy footstool? (Heb. 1:13.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had 
made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, etc. (4). So 
they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctively, and gave the 
sense, and caused them to understand the reading. (Neh. 8:4, 8.) 

b. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law 
dishonorest thou God? (Rom. 2:23.) 

c. Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write

5 But °all their works they do for to be seen 
of men: they make broad their phylacteries,

6 And e love the uppermost rooms at feasts,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be 
called of men, Rab'bl, Rab'bl. 

8 But be not ye called Rab'bl: for one is 
your Master, even Christ; and all ye are 
brethren. 

9 And call no man your father upon the 
earth: ffor one is your Father, which is in 
heaven. 

10 Xeither be ye called masters: for one is 
your Master, even Christ. 

11 But he that is greatest among you shall 
be your servant. 

12 And ^whosoever shall exalt himself shall 
be abased; and he that shall humble himself 
shall be exalted. 

13 r 2 But ^wce unto you, scribes and Phdr'i- 
sees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom 
of heaven against men: for ye neither go in 
yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are en- 
tering to go in. 

14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, 
hypocrites! 'for ye devour widows' houses, and 
for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye 
shall receive the greater damnation. 

15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, 
hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to 
make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye 
make him twofold more the child of hell than 
yourselves. 

16 Woe unto you, iye blind guides, which 
say, ^Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it 
is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the 
gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 

17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is great- 
er, the gold,' or the temple that sanctifieth the 
gold? 

18 And, Whosoever shall sivear by the altar, 
it is nothing; but whosoever siveareth by the 
gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 

19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is great- 
er, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the

20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar,

2. In vs. 13-33. eight woes are 
pronounced upon the existing despot- 



3. In vs. 34-39 is our Lord - :

4. That is, because of your great, 
wickedness the following shall take

hypocrites! "for ye pay tithe of mint and anise 
and cummin, and have "omitted the weightier 
matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith: 
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave 
the other undone. 

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, 
and' swallow a camel. 

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, 
hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of 
the cup and of the platter, but within they are 
full of extortion and excess. 

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that 
which is Pwithin the cup and platter, that the 
outside of them may be clean also. 

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, 
hypocrites! if or ye are like unto whited sepul- 
chres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, 
but are within full of dead men's bones, and of 
all uncleanness. 

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear right- 
eous unto men, but within ye are full of hy- 
pocrisy and iniquity. 

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisee^, 
hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the 
prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the 
righteous, 

30 And say, If we had been in the days of 
our fathers, we would not have been partakers 
with them in the blood of the prophets. 

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto your- 
selves, that ye are the children of. them which 
killed the prophets. 

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fa- 
thers. 

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, 
>'hoip can ye escape the damnation of hell? 

34 \ 'Wherefore, 4 behold, I send unto you 
prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some 
of them ye shall kill and crucify; and s some of 
them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and

35 That upon you may come all the right- 
eous blood shed upon the earth, f from the blood

gathereth her chickens under her wings, and 
ye would not! 

38 Behold, your house is left unto you deso- 
late. 



grievousness which they have prescribed. (Is. 10:1.) Now therefore why 
tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which 
neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? (Acts 15:10.) 

d. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of 
them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father w-hich is in heaven. 
(Mat. 6:1.) 

e. Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and 
love greetings in the markets, and the high seats in the synagogues, and 
the chief rooms at feasts. (Luke 20:46.) 

f. A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be 
a father, where is mine honor? and if I be a master, where is my fear? 
saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And 
ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? (Mai: 1:6.) 

g. The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before 
honor is humility. (Prov. 15:3.3.) Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and ex- 
tol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his 
ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. (Dan. 
4:37.) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the 
proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (Js. 4:6.) 

h. Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowl- 
edge: ye enter not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye 
hindered. (Luke 11:52.) , 

i. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead cap- 
tive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts. (II Tim. 
3:6.) Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teach- 
ing things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. (Tit. 1:11.) 

j. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all 
dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber, 
ils. 56:10.) Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if 
the- blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Mat. 15:14.) 

k. Again, ye. have heard that it hath been said by them of old time. 
Thou shalt> not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine 
oaths: But I sav unto you. Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it 
Is God's throne. (Mat. 5:33, 34.) 



1. I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for 
thee to abide in lor ever. (I Ks. 8:13.) Lord, I have loved the habita- 
tion of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth. (Ps. 26:8.) 

m. The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: 
his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. (Ps. 11:4.) But I 
say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne. 
(Mat. 5:34.) Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what 
house will ve build me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my 
rest? (Acts 7:49.) 

n. But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue, and all 
manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these 
ought ye to have done, and not to leave the ether undone. (Luke 11:42.) 

o. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of 
God more than burnt offerings. (Hos. 6:6.) He hath shown thee, O man, 
what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, 
and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. (Mic. 6:8.) 

p. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled 
and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is 
defiled. (Tit. 1:15.) 

q. Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, Thou whited wall: 
for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be 
smitten contrary to the law? (Acts 23:3.) 

r. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? 
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (Mat. 12:34.) 

s. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, 
and beaten them, they commanded that they 'should not speak in the 
name of Jesus, and let them go. (Acts 5:40.) 

t. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. 
And wherefore slew he him? because his -own works were evil, and his 
brother's righteous. (I Jno. 3:12.) 

u. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, 
spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 
So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with 
Iiim. (Dt. 32:11, 12.)

39 For I say unto you, "Fe shall not see me 
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that 
cometh in the name of the Lord. 

CHAPTER 24. 
1 Christ foretelleth the destruction of the tem- 
ple: 3 what calamities shall be before it. 
29 T-he signs of his coming to judgment. 

1 And 'Je'sus "went out, and departed from 
the temple: and his disciples came to him for 
to shew him the buildings of the temple. 

2 And Je'sus said unto them, See ye not all 
these tilings? verily I say unto you, h There 
shall not be left here one stone upon another, 
that shaU not be thrown down. 

3 H And as he sat upon the mount of 61'ives, 
the disciples came unto him privately, saying, 
•-'Tell us, when shall these things be? and what 
shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end 
of the world? 

4 "And Je'sus answered and said unto them, 
Take heed that no man deceive you. 

5 For d many shall come in my name, saying, 
I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 

.6 And ye shall hear of ivars and rumours 
of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all 
these things must come to pass, but the end is 
not yet. 

7 'For 'nation shall rise against nation, and 
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be 
famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in 
divers places. 

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 

9 Then I shall they deliver you up to be 
afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be 
hated of all nations for my name's sake. 

10 And then shall many be offended, and 
sliall betray one another, and shall hate one 
another. 

11 And many false prophets shall rise, sand 
shall deceive many. 

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the 
love of many shall wax cold. 

13 But ''he that shall endure unto the end, 
the same shall be saved. 

14 And this gospel' of the kingdom shall be 
preached in all the world for a witness unto 
all nations; and then shall the end come. 

. 15 *When ye therefore shall see the abomi- 
nation of desolation, spoken of by 'Ddn'iel the 
prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso read- 
eth, let him understand:) 

16 Then let them which he in Jii-dze'a flee 
into the mountains: 



Ch. 24. A. D. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-30 Jesus foretells the 
destructlou of Jerusalem. 



2. Iu vs. 4-G Christ warns the 
people not to confound Jerusalem's 
destruction with the end of the world. 



3. In ts. 7-14 Jesus likens the 
commotion preceding the destruction 
of the city with the millennial evan- 
gelization previous to the end. 



4. In vs. 15-27 Christ describes 
the trials of the siege and draws the 
contrast between the Son of Man 
and the false Messiah. 



5. In vs. 28-31 Christ draws the 
comparison between the calamities 
of the Jews and the final end. 



0. In vs. 20-31 is a picture of the 
appearance of the heavens at the 
second coming of Christ. 



7. In vs. 32-51 are told the gen- 
eral signs of the coming of Christ 
and the suddenness thereof. 



17 Let him which is on the house top not 
come down to take any thing out of his house: 

18 Neither let him which is in the field re- 
turn back to take his clothes. 

19 And woe unto them that are with child, 
and to them that give suck in those days! 

20 But pi ay ye that your flight be not in 
the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 

21 For Hhen shall be great tribulation, such 
as was not since the beginning of the ivorld to 
this time, no, nor ever shall be. 

22 And except those days should be short- 
ened, there should no flesh be saved: k but for 
the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, 
here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 

24 For 'there shall arise false Christs, and 
false prophets, and shall shew great signs and 
wonders; insomuch that, m if it were possible, 
they shall deceive the very elect. 

25 Behold, I have told you before. 

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, 
Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: be- 
hold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it 
not. 

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the 
east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall 
also the coming of the Son of man be. 

28 "For wheresoever the carcase is, there 
will the eagles be gathered together. 

29 ^''Immediately "after the tribulation of 
those days shall the sun be darkened, and the 
moon shall not give her light, and the stars 
shall fall from heaven, and the poivers of the 
heavens shall be shaken: 

30 And °then shall appear the sign of the 
Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the 
tribes of the earth mourn, Pand they shall see 
the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven 
ivith power and great glory. 

31 And ihe shall send his angels with a great 
sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather to- 
gether his elect from the four winds, from one 
end of heaven to the other. 

32 7 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; 
When his branch is yet tender, and putteth 
forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these 
things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation 
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 

35 Heaven r and earth shall pass away, but 
my words shall not pass away. 



v. Blessed be lie that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have 
blessed you out of the house of the Lord. (Ps. 118:26.) And the multi- 
tudes that went before, and that followed, cried, Saying, Hosanna to the 
son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! 
Hosanna in the highest! (Mat. 21:9.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto 
him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! 
(Mk. 13:1.) 

b. Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given 
them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I east out 
of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peo- 
ple. (I Ks. 9:7.) Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not 
a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord's. 
(Jer. 5:10.) Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah 
king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts: Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall 
become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a 
forest. (Jer. 26:18.) 

c. But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that 
I write unto you. (I Thess. 5:1.) 

d. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken 
to them, yet they prophesied. (Jer. 23:21.) I am come in my Father's 
name, and ye received me not: if another shall come in his own name, 
him ye will receive. (Jno. 5:43.) 

e. And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy 
the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the 
chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders 
shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. (Hag. 2:22.) 

f. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, 
receive my spirit. (Acts 7:59.) Now about that time Herod the king 
stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. (Acts 12:1.) 

g. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some 
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines 
of devils. (I Tim. 4:1.) 

h. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning 
of cur confidence stedfast unto the end. (Heb. 3:14.) 

i. From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and 



the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand 
two hundred and ninety days. (Dan. 12:11.) 

j. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which 
standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of 
trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same 
time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall 
be found written in the book. (Dan. 12:1.) 

k. Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, 
and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for 
my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. (Is. 65:8.) 

1. If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and 
giveth thee a sign or a wonder. (Dt. 13:1.) Even him, whose coming 
is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying won- 
ders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; 
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 
(II Thess. 2:9, 10.) 

m. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having his 
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that 
nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (II Tim. 2:19.) Who 
are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be 
revealed in the last time. (I Pet. 1:5.) 

n. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the 
horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body de- 
stroyed, and given to the burning flame. (Dan. 7:11.) 

o. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man 
came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and 
they brought him near before him. (Dan. 7:12.) 

p. Behold, he cometh with clouds: and every eye shall see him, and 
they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail 
because of him. Even so, Amen. (Rev. 1:7.) 

q. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for 
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and 
we shall be changed. (I Cor. 15:52.) For the Lord himself shall descend 
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with 
the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. (I Thess. 4:16.) 

r. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth be- 
neath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth 
shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in

ST. MATTHEW 



A. D. 33 



36 If But s of that day and hour knoweth no 
man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my 
Father only. 

37 But as the days of No'e xvere, so shall 
also the coming of the Soji of man be. 

38 For as in the days that were before the 
flood they were eating and drinking, marrying 
and giving in marriage, until the day that 
Xo'e entered into the ark, 

39 And kneiv not until the flood came, and 
took them all aivay; so shall also the coming 
of the Son of man be. 

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one 
shall be taken, and the other left. 

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 
the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

42 f Watch therefore: for ye know not what 
hour your Lord doth come. 

43 But f know this, that if the goodman of 
the house had known in what watch the thief 
would come, he would have watched, and 
would not have suffered his house to be broken 
up. 

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such 
an hour as ye think not the Son of man comet h. 

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, 
whom his lord hath made ruler over his house- 
hold, to give them meat in due season? 

46 Blessed "is that servant, whom his lord 
■when he cometh shall find so doing. 

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall 
make him ruler over all his goods. 

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in 
his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowserv- 
ants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a 
day when he looketh not for him, and in an 
hour that he is not aware of. 

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint 
him v his portion with the hypocrites: there 
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

CHAPTER 25. 
1 The parable of the ten virgins, 14 and of 
the talents. 31 Also the description of the 
last judgment. 

1 1 Then -shall the kingdom of heaven be 
likened unto ten virgins, vohich took their 
lamps, and went forth to meet Hhe bridegroom. 

2 And l five of them were wise., and five were 
foolish. 

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, 
and took no oil with them: 



Ch. 25. A. D, 33. 



1. In ts. 1-13 is the parable of 
the 10 virgins, recorded only by Mat. 



2. The judgment day. 



3. The awakening of the dead at 
the resurrection. 



4. A symbol of those who find 
themselves without the grace of God 
in the day of judgment. 



5. Descriptive of the fact that 
the door of heaven will be closed 
to all who have not the oil (i. e., 
grace of God) in their hearts. 



6. In vs. 14-30 is an account of 
the parable of the talents. 



7. That Is, trust, responsibility to 
be met, an obligation, a duty; not 
ability, as many have interpreted, 
for the talents were given according 
to their several abilities. 



S. Not the vicious, but the man 
of omission; the one who makes no 
effort at the discharge of his obliga- 
tions or trust. 



9. "Well done," not because of 
the merit of the work, for our sins 
always overbalance all our good; but 
"well done" for the purpose or ef- 
fort of doing our best. 



4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with 
their lamps. 

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all 
slumbered and slept. 

6 And at midnight Hhere was a cry made, 
Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to 
meet him. 

7_ Then all those 'virgins arose, and trimmed, 
their lamps. 

8 And the foolish said unto the wise. Give 
us of *your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; 
lest there be not enough for us and you: but go 
ye rather to them that sell, and buy for your- 
selves. 

10 And tvhile they went to buy, the bride- 
groom came; and they that were ready went in 
with him to the marriage: d and '"the door was 
shut. 

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, 
saying, e Lord, Lord, open to us. 

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say 
unto you, ?I know you not. 

13 Watch ^therefore, for ye knotu neither 
the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man 
cometh. 

14 1i 6 For the kingdom of heaven is h as a 
man travelling into a far country, who called 
his own servants, and delivered unto them his 
goods. 

15 And unto one he gave five 7 talents, to an- 
other two, and to another one; to i every man 
according to his several ability; and straight- 
way took his journey. 

16 Then he that had received the five tal- 
ents went and 'traded with the same, and made 
them other five talents. 

17 And likewise he that had received two, 
he also gained other two. 

18 But he that had received one went and 
digged s in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 

19 After a long tune the lord of those serv- 
ants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 

20 And so he that had received five talents 
came and brought other five talents, saying, 
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: 
behold, I have gained beside them five talents 
more. 

21 His lord said unto him, s Well done, thou 
good and faithful servant: thou hast been 
faithful over a few things, I will 1: make thee 
ruler over many things: enter thou into Hhe 
joy of thy lord. 

22 He also that had received two talents 
came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me 



like mariner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness 
shall not be abolished. (Is. 51:6.) They [the heavens] shall perish; but 
thou remainest: and they all shall wax old as doth a garment. (Heb. 
1:11.) 

s. And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or 
the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (Acts 1:7.) 
For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord so cometh as a 
thief in the night. (I Thess. 5:2.) 

t. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keep- 
eth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. (Rev. 
16:15.) 

u. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept 
the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, 
which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not 
to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. (II Tim. 
4:7,8.) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and 
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. (Rev. 
16:15.) 

v. "Upon the 'wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and 
an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. (Ps. 11:6.) 
But the children of the kingdom shall he cast out into outer darkness: 
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 8:12.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and 
cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church. (Eph. 5:29.) Let us be glad 
and rejoice, and give honor to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is 
come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Rev. 19:7.) 

b. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered to- 
gether all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding 
was furnished with guests. (Mat. 22:10.) 

c. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 
with a voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead 
in Christ shall rise first. (I Thess. 4:16.) 

d. When once the Master of the house is risen up, and hath shut 
to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, 
saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, 
I know you not whence ye are. (Luke 13:25.) 

e. Not every one that salth unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into 



the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which 
is in heaven. (Mat. 7:21.) 

f. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of 
iniquity. (Ps. 5:5.) Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and 
canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal 
treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the 
man that is more righteous than he. (Hab. 1:13.) 

g. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time 
is. (Mk. 13:33.) Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, 
be strong. (I Cor. 16:13.) Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary 
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may de- 
vour. (I Pet. 5:8.) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that 
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see 
his shame. (Rev. 16:15.) 

h. There was a certain householder which planted a vineyard, and 
hedged it round about, . . . and let it out to husbandmen, and went 
into a far country. (Mat. 21:33.) 

i. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given 
to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion 
of faith. (Rom. 12:6.) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to 
every man to profit withal. (I Cor. 12:7.) And he gave some, apostles; 
and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and 
teachers. (Eph. 4:11.) 

j. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of sil- 
ver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. (Prov. 3:14.) As every man 
hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as 
good stewards of the manifold grace of God. (I Pet. 4:10.) 

k. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed 
unto me. (Luke 22:29.) To' him that overcometh will I grant to sit with 
me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my 
Father in his throne. (Rev. 3:21.) 

1. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make 
me full of joy with thy countenance. (Acts 2:2S.) Looking unto Jesus 
the author and finisher 'of our faith; who for the joy that was set before 
him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the 
right hand of the throne of God. (Heb. 12:2.) If we suffer, we shall 
also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (II Tim. 
2:12.)

two talents: behold, I have gained two other 
talents beside them. 

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good 
and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful 
over a few things, I will make thee ruler over 
many things: enter thou into the joy of thy 
lord. 

24 Then he which had received the one tal- 
ent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou 
art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not 
sown, and gathering where thou hast not 
strawed: 

25 And I was 10 afraid, and went and hid thy 
talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is 
thine. 

26 His lord answered and said unto him, 
Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knew- 
est that I reap where I sowed not, and gather- 
where I have not strawed: 

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my 
money to the exchangers, and then at my com- 
ing I should have received mine own with 
usury. 

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and 
give it unto him which hath ten talents. 

29 '"For unto every one that hath shall be 
given, arid he shall have abundance: but from 
him that hath not shall be taken away even 
that which he hath. 

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into 
outer darkness: there shall be weeping and 
gnashing of teeth. 

31 If "When the "Son of "man- shall come in 
his glory, and all the holy angels with him, 
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 

32 And "before him shall be gathered all 
nations; and Phe shall "separate them one from 
another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from 
the goats: 

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right 
hand, but the goats on the left. 

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his 
right hand, Come, ye blessed of my iFather, 
inherit the kingdom 'prepared for you from 
the foundation of the world: 

35 For S I was an hungred, and ye gave me 
meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I 
was a stranger, and ye took me in: 

36 Naked, *and ye clothed me: I was sick, 
and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye 
came unto me. 

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, say- 
ing, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and 
fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, 
and came unto thee? 

40 And the King shall answer and say unto 
them, Verily I say unto you, "Inasmuch as ye 
have done it unto one of the least of these my 
brethren, ye have done it unto me. 

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the 
left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into 
everlasting fire, prepared for v the devil and his 
angels: 

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me 
no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no 
drink : 

43 / was a stranger, and ye took me not in: 
naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in 
prison, and ye visited me not. 

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, 
Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, 
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, 
and did not minister unto thee? 

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Ver- 
ily I say unto you, w Inasmuch as ye did it not 
to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 

46 And x these shall go away into everlasting 
punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. 

CHAPTER 26. 

1 The rulers conspire against Christ. 14 Ju- 
das selleth him. 47 Christ, being betrayed 
with a kiss, 57 is carried to Caiaphas, 69 
and denied of Peter. 

1 And it came to 2 pass, when Je'sus had 
finished all these 3 sayings, he said unto his 
disciples, 

2 Ye a know that after two days is the feast 
of the *passover, and the Son of man is be- 
trayed to be crucified. 

3 Then assembled together the chief priests, 
and the scribes, and the elders of the people, 
unto the palace of the high priest, who was 
called Ca'ia-phas, 

4 And consulted that they might take Je'sus 
by subtilty, and kill him. 

5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest 
there be an uproar among the people. 

6 II 'Now 6 when Je'sus was in Beth'a-ny, in 
the house of Si'mon the leper, 

7 There came unto him a woman having an 
alabaster box of very precious ointment, and 
poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 

8 But c when his disciples saw it, they had 
indignation, saying, To what purpose is this 
waste? 



m. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him 
shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even 
that which lie seerneth to have. (Luke 8:18.) Every branch in me that 
beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit 
he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (Jno. 15:2.) 

n. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley 
of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye 
fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: 
and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (Zech. 
14:5.) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up 
into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, 
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Acts 
1:11.) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the 
dead in Christ shall rise first. (I Thess. 4:16.) So Christ was once 
offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall 
he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:28.) 

o. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that 
every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that 
he hath done, whether it be gooa 1 or bad. (II Cor. 5:10.) And I saw the 
dead, small and great, stand before God: and the books were opened; and 
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were 
judged out of those things which were written in the hooks, according 
to their works. (Rev. 20:12.) 

p. And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that 
transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country wjiere 
they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye 
shall know that I am the Lord. (Ez. 20:38.) And as for you, O my flock, 
thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, be- 
tween the rams and the he-goats. (Ez. 34:17.) So shall it be at the end 
of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from 
among the just. (Mat. 13:49.) 

q. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with 
Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified 
together. (Rom. 8:17.) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Rev. 21:7.) 

r. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither 
have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared 



for them that love him. (I Cor. 2:9.) But now they desire a better 
country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called 
their God; for he hath prepared for them a city. (Heb. 11:16.) 

s. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the 
poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that 
thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 
(Is. 58:7.) 

t. If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And 
one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; 
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the 
body; what doth it profit? (Js. 2:15, 16.) 

u. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that 
honoreth him hath mercy on the poor. (Prov. 14:31.) 

v. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their 
own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, 
unto the judgment of the great day. (Jude 6.) 

w. Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker. (Prov. 17:5.) 
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto 
the nations which spoiled you; for he that toucheth you toucheth the 
apple of his eye. (Zech. 2:8.) 

x. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall 
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting 
contempt. (Dan. 12:2.) And shall come forth; they that have done good, 
unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the 
resurrection of damnation. (Jno. 5:29.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened 
bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might 
take him by craft, and put him to death. (Mk. 14:1.) 

b. Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the 
town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary which anointed 
the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother 
Lazarus was sick.) (Jno. 11:1, 2.) 

c. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which 
should betray him (4). This he said, not that he cared for the poor; 
but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put 
therein. (Jno. 12:4, 6.)

9 For this ointment might have been 6 sold 
for much, and given to the poor. 

10 When Je'sus understood it, he said unto 
them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath 
wrought a good work upon me. 

11 i*W d ye have the poor always with you; 
but e me ye have not always. 

12 For in that she hath poured this oint- 
ment on my body, she did it for my burial. 

13 Verily I say unto you, fWheresoever this 
gospel shall be preached in the whole world, 
there shall also this, that this woman hath 
done, be told for a memorial of her. 

14 E Then -°one of the twelve, called Judas 
is-car'i-ot, went unto the chief priests, 

15 7 And said unto them, What will ye give 
me, and I will deliver him unto you? And 
they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of 
silver. 

16 And from that time he sought opportu- 
nity to betray him. 

17 *~ s Now ''the first "day of the feast of un- 
leavened bread the disciples came to Je'sus, 
saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we pre- 
pare for thee to eat the passover? 

.18 And he said, Go into tlie 10 city to such a 
man, and say unto him, The Master- saith, My 
time is at hand; I will keep the passover at 
thy house with ray disciples. 

19 And the disciples did as Je'sus had ap- 
pointed them; and they made ready the pass- 
over. 

20 "Now when the even ^as come, he sat 
down with the twelve. 

21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say 
unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 

22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and 
began everv one of them to say unto him, Lord, 
is it I? 

23 And he answered and said, He that i dip- 
peth his hand with vie in the dish, the same 
shall betray me. 

24 The Son of man goeth ! as it is written 
of him: but k woe unto that man by whom the 
Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for 
that man if he had not been born. 

25 Then Ju'das, which betrayed him, an- 
swered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto 
him, Thou hast said. 

26 K 13 And as they were eating, Je'sus 'took 
bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave 
it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is 
m my body. 

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, 
and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 



6. An indication of the covetous 
heart of Judas. 



7. In this verse Judas seeks to 
make a bargain for the betrayal of 
Christ. 



8. In vs. 17-19 is an account of 
the two disciples sent to prepare the 
passover.

1^. This prayer is here recorded 
doubtless for the fact of Illustrating 
that one may ask for relief only to 
the point of the divine will. 



28 For "this is my blood of the new testa- 
ment, which is shed for many "for the remis- 
sion of sins. 

29 But I say unto you, I will not drink 
henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that 
day when I drink it new with you in my Fa- 
ther's kingdom. 

30 And when they had' sung an hymn, they 
went out into the mount of Olives. 

31 "Then saith Je'sus unto them, All Pye 
shall be offended because of me this night: for 
it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and 
the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 

32 But after I am risen again, il will go be- 
fore you into Gal'i-lee. 

33 Pe'ter answered and said unto him, . 
Though all men shall be offended because of 
thee, yet will I never be offended. 

34 Je'sus said unto him, T Verily I say unto 
thee, That this night, before the cock crow, 
thou shalt deny me thrice. 

35 Pe'ter said unto him, Though I should 
die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Like- 
wise also said all the disciples. 

36 r "Then^'cometh Je'sus with them unto a 
place called Geth-sem'a-ne, and saith unto the 
disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yon- 
der. 

37 And he took with him 16 Pe'ter and the 
two sons of Zeb'e-dee, and began to be sorrow- 
ful and very heavy. 

38 17 Then saith he unto them, i My soul is 
exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye 
here, and watch "with me. 

39 And he went a little farther, and fell on 
his face, and r prayed, saying, 1B my Father, 
if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: 
nevertheless ^not as I will, but as thou wilt. 

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and 
findeth them asleep, and saith unto Pe'ter, 
What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 

41 Watch x and pray, that ye enter not into 
temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the 
flesh is weak. 

42 He went away again the second time, and 
prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may 
not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy 
will be done. 

43 And he came and found them asleep 
again: for their eyes were heavy. 

44 And he left them, and went away again, 
and prayed the third time, saying the same 
words. 

45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith 
unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: 



d. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I com- 
mand thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, 
to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. (Dt. 15:11.) 

e. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, 
and I come to thee. (Jno. 17:11.) 

f. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that 
your faith is spoken of throughout the whole- world. (Rom. 1:8.) 

g. And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, 
to betray him unto them. (Mk. 14:10.) Then entered Satan into Judas 
surnamed Iscarict, being of the number of the twelve. (Luke 22:3.) 
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. (Mat. 
10:4.) 

h. And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same 
month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill 
it in the evening. (Ex. 12:6.) Then came the day of unleavened bread, 
when the passover must be killed. (Luke 22:7.) 

i. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat 
of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. (Ps. 41:9.) 

j. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and be- 
tween thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt 
bruise his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) And after threescore and two weeks shall 
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince 
that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end 
thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations 
are determined. (Dan. 9:26.) For I delivered unto you first of all that 
which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the 
scriptures. (I Cor. 15:3.) 

k. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: 
those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but 
the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (Jno. 17:12.) 

1. For I h^ve received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto 
vou. That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took 
bread. (I Cor. 11:23.) 

m. The cup of blessing which we bless, is It not the communion of 
thf blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion 
of the body of Christ? (I Cor. 10:16.) 

n. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and 



said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with 
you concerning all these words. (Ex. 24:8.) For the life of the flesh 
is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an 
atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh an atonement 
for the soul. (Lev. 17:11.) 

o. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through 
the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the 
gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto 
many. (Rom. 5:15.) 

p. Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be 
scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am 
not alone, because the Father is with me. (Jno. 16:32.) 

q. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the 
dead, and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see 
him: lo, I have told you. (Mat. 28:7.) 

r. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day. 
before that tLou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. (Luke 22:34.) 

s. When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his 
disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which 
he entered, and his disciples. (Jno. 18:1.) 

t. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me 
from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. (Jno. 12:27.) 

u. Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil, as a roai- 
ing lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (I Pet. 5:8.) 

v. And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take 
away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou 
wilt. (Mk. 14:36.) Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered 
up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, unto him 
that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. 
(Heb. 5:7.) 

w. I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath 
sent me. (Jno. 5:30.) And being found in fashion as a man, he hum- 
bled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the 
cross. (Phil. 2:8.) 

x. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, 
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all 
saints. (Eph. 6:18.)

behold, the ''hour is at hand, and the Son of 
man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 

46 Rise, let ±ts be going: behold, he is at 
hand that doth 'betray me. 

47 H a And "while he yet spake, lo, Ju'das, 
one of the twelve, came, and with him a great 
multitude with swords and staves, from the 
chief priests and elders of the people. 

48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a 
sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that 
same' is he: hold him fast. 

49 And forthwith he came to Je'§us, and 
said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 

50 And Je'§us said unto him, Friend, where- 
fore art thou come? Then came they, and laid 
hands on Je'§us, and took him. 

51 And, behold, one of them which were with 
Je'sus stretched out his hand, and drew his 
sword, and struck a servant of the high 
priest's, and smote off his ear. 

52 Then said Je'§us unto him, Put up again 
thy sivord into his place: "for all they that 
take the sivord shall perish with the sword. 

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to 
my Father, and he shall presently give me 
more than twelve legions of angels? 

54 But how then shall the ""scriptures be 
fulfilled, that thus it must be? 

55 In that same hour said Je'§us to the mul- 
titudes, Are ye come out as against a thief 
with sivords and staves for to take me? I sat 
daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye 
laid no hold on me. 

56 But all this was done, that the ^scrip- 
tures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then 
all the disciples forsook him, and fled. 

57 II a And they that had laid hold on Je'sus 
led him away to Ca'ia-phas the high priest, 
where the scribes and the elders were assem- 
bled. 

58 But Pe'ter followed him afar off unto the 
high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with 
the servants, to see the end. 

59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all 
the council, sought false witness against Je'- 
sus, to put him to death; 

60 But found none : yea, though many cc f alse 
witnesses came, yet found they none. At the 
last came two rM false witnesses, 

61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to 
destroy the temple of God, and to build it in 
three days. 

62 And the high priest arose, and said unto 
him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which 
these witness against thee?

63 But ee Je'§us held his peace. And the 
high priest answered and said unto him, ffl 
adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us 
whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 

64 Je'§us saith unto him, Thou hast said: 
nevertheless I say unto you, ^Hereafter shall 
ye see the Son of man sitting on the right 
hand of poiver, and coming in the clouds of 
heaven. 

65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, 
saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what fur- 
ther need have we of witnesses? behold, now 
ye have heard his blasphemy. 

66 What think ye? They answered and said, 
,,7 'He is guilty of death. 

67 Then i! 'did they spit in his face, and buf- 
feted him; and others smote him with the 
palms of their hands, 

68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, 
Who is he that smote thee? 

69 U "Now Pe'ter sat without in the palace: 
and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou 
also wast with Je'§us of Gal'i-lee. 

70 But he denied before them all, saying, I 
know not what thou sayest. 

71 And when he was gone out into the 
porch, another maid saw him, and said unto 
them that were there, This fellow was also 
with Je'sus of Naz'a-reth. 

72 And again he denied with an oath, I do 
not know the man. 

73 And after a while came unto him they 
that stood by, and said to Pe'ter, Surely thou 
also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth 
thee. 

74 Then began he to curse and to swear, 
saying, I know not the man. And immediately 
the cock crew. 

75 And Pe'ter remembered the word of Je'- 
§us, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, 
thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, 
and J ■'wept bitterly.

2 And when they had" bound him, they led 
him away, and delivered him to P6n'ti-us Pi'- 
late the governor. 



y. And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was 
called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto 
Jesus to kiss him. (Luke 22:17.) Men and brethren, this scripture must 
needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David, 
spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took 
Jesus. (Acts 1:16.) 

z. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for 
in the image of God made he man. (Gen. 9:6.) 

aa. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but 
not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall de- 
stroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a 
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:26.) 

bb. The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, was taken 
in their pits, of whom we said. Under his shadow we shall live among 
the heathen. (Lam. 4:20.) Set Ps. 22; Is. 53. 

cc. And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness 
against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king: and then 
carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. (I Ks. 21:10.) Deliver 
me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen 
up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. (Ps. 27:12.) False 
witnesses did rise up: they laid to my charge things that I knew not. 
(Ps. 35:11.) 

dd. One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, 
or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two wit- 
nesses or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be estab- 
lished. (Dt. 19:15.) 

ee. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) And 
when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered noth- 
ing. (Mat. 27:12.) 

ff. And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a wit- 
ness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then 
he shall bear his iniquity. (Lev. 5:1.) And the king said unto him. How 
many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that 
which is true in the name of the Lord? (I Ks. 22:16.) 



gg. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I 
make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) But why dost thou judge 
thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall 
all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. (Rom. 14:10.) And he 
saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see 
heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the 
Son of man. (Jno. 1:51.) For the Lord himself shall descend from heav- 
en with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump 
of God: and the dead in Christ' shall rise first. (I Thess. 4:16.) 

hh. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be 
put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well 
the stranger, as he that is born in the land,' when he blasphemeth the 
name. (Lev. 24:16.) The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by 
our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. (Jno. 
19:7.) 

ii. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (Is. 
50:6.) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and ac- 
quainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was 
despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:3.) 

jj. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhab- 
itants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they 
shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for 
him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for 
him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zech. 12:10.) For 
godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but 
the sorrow of the world worketh death. (II Cor. 7:10.) 

Chapter 27. 

a. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel 
together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying. (Ps. 2:2.) 
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the chief priests, 
and the scribes, came together, and led him into their council. (Luke 
22:66.) 

b. The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of 
our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and 
denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let 
him go. (Acts 3:13.)

3 r 3 Then ''Ju'das, which had betrayed him, 
when he saw that he was condemned, repented 
himself, and brought again the thirty pieces 
of silver to the chief priests and elders, 

4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have be- 
trayed the innocent blood. And they said, 
What is that to us? see thou to that. 

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in 
the temple, ^and departed, and went and 
hanged himself. 

6 And the chief priests took the silver 
pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put 
them into the treasury, because it is the price 
of blood. 

7 And they took counsel, and bought with 
them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 

S Wherefore that field was called, The field 
of blood, unto this day. 

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken 
by Jer'e-my the prophet, saying, <And they 
took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of 
him that was valued, whom they of the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el did value; 

10 And gave them for the potter's field, as 
the Lord appointed me. 

11 4 And Je'sus stood before the governor: 
and the f governor asked him, saying, Art thou 
the King of the Jews? And Je'sus said unto 
him, sThou sayest. 

12 And when he was accused of the chief 
priests and elders, he answered nothing. 

13 Then said Pi'late unto him, Hearest 7, thou 
not how many things they witness against 
thee? 

14 And he answered him to never a word; 
insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 

15 Xow at 'that feast the governor was wont 
to release unto the people a prisoner, whom 
they would. 

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, 
called Ba-rab'bas. 

17 Therefore when they were gathered to- 
gether, Pi'late said unto them, Whom will ye 
that I release unto you? Ba-rab'bas, or Je'sus 
which is called Christ? 

18 For he knew that for envy they had de- 
livered him. 

19 \ When he was set down on the judgment 
seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou 
nothing to do with that just man: for I have 
suffered many things this day in a J dream be- 
cause of him. 

20 But the ^chief priests and elders per- 
suaded the multitude that they should ask 
Ba-rab'bas, and destroy Je'sus. 

21 The governor answered and said unto 
them, Whether of the twain will ye that I re- 
lease unto you? They said, Ba-rab'bas.

then with Je'sus which is called Christ? They 
all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil 
hath he done? But they cried out the more, 
saying, Let him be crucified. 

24 \ When Pi'late saw that he could prevai' 
nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, 
he took water, and washed his hands before 
the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the 
blood of this just person: see ye to it. 

25 Then answered all the people, and 'said, 
'His blood be on us, and on our children. 

26 r "Then released he Ba-rab'bas unto them : 
and when "'he had "scourged Je'sus, he deliv- 
ered him to be crucified. 

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took 
Je'sus into the common hall, and gathered unto 
him the whole band of soldiers. 

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a 
scarlet robe. 

29 U And when they had platted a crown of 
thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in 
his right hand: and they bowed the knee be- 
fore him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King 
of the Jews! 

30 And they spit upon him, and took the 
reed, and smote him on the head. 

31 And after that they had mocked him, 
they took the robe off from him, and put his 
own raiment on him," "and led him away to 
crucify him. 

32 7 And_°as they came out, ?they found a 
man of Cy-re'ne, Si'mon by name: him they 
compelled to bear his cross. 

33 And when they were come unto a place 
called Gol'go-tha, that is to say, a place of a 
skull, 

34 \ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled 
with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he 
would not drink. 

35 s And they crucified him, and parted his 
garments, casting lots: that it might be ful- 
filled which was spoken by the prophet, They 
parted my garments among them, and upon 
my vesture did they cast lots. 

36 And sitting down they watched him 
there; 

37 And set up over his head his accusation 
written, THIS IS JE'SUS THE KING OF 
THE JEWS. 

38 Then were there two thieves crucified 
with him, one on the right hand, and another 
on the left. 

39 f "And ^th ey that passed by reviled him, 
wagging their heads, 

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the 
temple, and buildest it in three days, save thy- 
self. If thou be the Son of God, come down 
from the cross. 



c. That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the 
hypocrite but for a moment? (5). He hath swallowed down riches, and 
he shall vomit ..hern up again: God shall cast them out of his bell3 r . 
(Job 20:5, 15. J 

d. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of de- 
struction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their flays; 
but I will trust in thee. (Ps. 55-23.) Now this man purchased a field 
with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in 
the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. (Acts 1:18.) For godly sorrow 
worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow 
of the world worketh death. (II Cor. 7:10.) 

e. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and 
if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 
And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price *hat 
I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and 
cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord. (Zech. 11:12, 13.) 

t. And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he 
answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. (Mk. 15:2.) 

g. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, 
and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good con- 
fession. (I Tim. 6:13.) 

h. Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? know^st 
thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release 
thee? (Jno. 19:10.) 

i. Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whom- 
soever they desired. (Mk. 15:6.) But ye have a custom, that I should 
release unto you one at the pnssovc-r: will ye therefore that I release 
unto you the King of the Jews? (Jno. 18:39.) 

j. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon 
men, in slumberings upon the bed; Tnen he openeth the ears of men, 
and sealeth their instruction. (Job 33:15, 16.) 



k. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather 
release Barabbas unto them. (Mk. 15:11.) Then cried they all again, 
saying. Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. 
(Jno. 18:40.) 

1. That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. tDt. 
19:10.) And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for 
thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lord's 
anointed. ( T I Sam. 1:16.) 

m. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for 
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with 
his stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, 
and scourged him. (Jno. 19:1.) 

n. He was oppressed, and he w T as afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 5:J:7. ) 

o. And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness 
against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king: and then 
carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. (I Ks. 21:10.) And 
cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down 
their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. (Acts 7:58.) 
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own 
blood, suffered without the gate. (Heb. 13:12.) 

p. They compelled one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming 
out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his 
cross. (Mk. 15:21.) 

q. All they tha* see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the 
lip, they shake the head, saying. (Ps. 22:7.) I became also a reproach 
unto them: when they looked upon me thev shaked their heads. (Ps.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking 
him, with the scribes and elders, said, 

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. 
If he be the King of Is'ra-el, let him now 
come down from the cross, and we will believe 
him. 

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him 
now, if he will have him : for he said, I am the 
Son of God. 

44 The thieves also, which were crucified 
with him, cast the same in his teeth. 

45 10 Now 'from the sixth hour there was 
darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 

46 And about the ninth _hour_ Je'§us cried 
with a loud voice, saying, E'li, E'li, la'md sd- 
bach-tha'ni? that is to say, My God, my God, 
why hast thou forsaken me? 

47 Some of them that stood there, when 
they heard that, said, This man calleth for 
E-li'as. 

48 And straightway one of them ran, and 
took a spunge, and ^filled it with vinegar, and 
put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether 
E-li'as will come to save him. 

50 1 Je'§us, when he had cried again with 
a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 

51 "And, behold, the f vail of the "temple 
was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; 
and "the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 

52 And the graves were "opened; and many 
bodies of the saints which slept arose, 

53 And came out of the graves after his 
resurrection, and went into the holy "city, and 
appeared unto many. 

54 Now l 'when the centurion, and they that 
were with him, watching Je'§us, saw the earth- 
quake, and those things that were done, they 
feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son 
of God. 

55 15 And many women were there beholding 
afar off, which followed Je'§us from Gal'i-lee, 
ministering unto him: 

56 Among "which was Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne, 
and Ma'ry the mother of James? and Jo'se§, 
and the mother of Zeb'e-dee's children. 

57 When J the even was come, there came a 
rich man of Ar-i-ma-thae'a, named Jo'§eph, who 
also himself was Je'§us' disciple: 

58 He went to Pi'late, and begged the body 
of Je'sus. Then Pi'late commanded the body 
to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he 
wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which 
he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled 
a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and 
departed. 

61 And there was Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne, and 
the other Ma'ry, sitting over against the sepul- 
chre. « 

62 If "Now the next day, that followed the 
day of the preparation, the chief priests and 
Phar'i-sees. came together unto Pi'late. 

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that ^de- 
ceiver said, while he was yet alive, After *three 
days I will rise again. 

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be 
made sure until the third day, lest his disciples 
come by night, and steal him away, and say 
unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so 
the last error shall be worse than the first. 

65 Pi'late said unto them, Ye have a watch : 
go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 

66 So they went, and made the sepulchre 
sure, ao sealing the stone, and setting a watch. 

CHAPTER 28. 
1 Christ's resurrection is declared by an angel 
to the women. 9 He himself appeareth unto 
them, 19 and sendeth his disciples to baptize 
and teach all nations. 

1 J In the B end of the sabbath, as it began to 
dawn toward the first day of the week, came 
Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne 6 and the other Ma'ry to 
see the sepulchre. 

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake : 
for c the angel of the Lord descended from 
heaven, and came and rolled back the stone 
from the door, and sat upon it. 

3 His ^countenance was like lightning, and 
his raiment white as snow: 

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, 
and became as dead men. 

5 And the angel answered and said unto the 
women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek 
Je'§us, which was crucified. 

6 He is not here: for he is risen, e as he said. 
Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that 
he is risen from the dead; and, behold, 2 he 
fgoeth before you into Gal'i-lee; there shall 
ye see him: lo, I have told you. 

8 And they departed quickly from the sepul- 



r. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their 
covering. (Is. 50:3.) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the 
Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will 
darken the earth in the clear day. (Amos 8:9.) 

s. They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they 
gave me vinegar to drink. (Ps. 69:21.) Now there was set a vessel 
full of vinegaf: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon 
hyssop, and put it to his mouth. (Jno. 19:29.), 

t. And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
fine twined linen, of cunning work: with cherubim shall it be made. 
(Ex. 26:31.) And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the 
top to the bottom. (Mk. 15:38.) For he is our peace, who hath made 
both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between 
us. (Eph. 2:14.) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into 
the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he 
hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. (Heb. 
10:19, 20.) 

u. And Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord 
descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke 
of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. (Ex. 19:18.) Then 
the earth shook and trembled; *he foundations also of the hills moved 
and were shaken, because he was wroth. (Ps. 18:7.) 

v. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that 
he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was 
the Son of God. (Mk. 15:39.) Now when the centurion saw what was 
done, he glorified God, saying. Certainly this was a righteous man. 
(Luke 23:47.) 

w. There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was 
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, 
and Salome. (Mk. 15:40.) 

x. And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and 
he was a good man, and a just. (Luke 23:50.) And after this, Joseph of 
Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, 
besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate 
gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. (Jno. 
19:38.) 

y. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast 
anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the 
people of Israel, were gathered together. (Acts 4:27.) 

z. From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, 



how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the 
elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again 
the third day. (Mat. 16:21.) And they shall kill him, and the third day 
he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. (Mat. 17:23.) 
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to 
crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. (Mat. 20:19.) And 
they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, 
and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. (Mk. 10:34.) 
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of 
the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised 
the third day. (Luke 9:22.) And they shall scourge him, and put him 
to death: and the third day he shall rise again. (Luke 18:33.) Jesus 
answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days 
I will raise it up. (Jno. 2:19.) 

aa. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; 
and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his 
lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. (Dan. 
6:17.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, 
they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had pre- 
pared, and certain others with them. (Luke 24:1.) The first day of the 
week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the 
sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. (Jno. 
20:1.) 

h. Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of 
James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. (Mat. 27:56.) 

c. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, 
behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. (Luke 24:4.) And 
seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other 
at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. (Jno. 20:12.) 

d. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appear- 
ance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his 
feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the 
voice of a multitude. (Dan. 10:6.) 

e. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's 
belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the 
heart of the earth. (Mat. 12:40.) 

f. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth be- 
fore you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. (Mk. 
16:7.)

chre with fear and great joy; and did run to 
bring his disciples word. 

9 If 3 And as they went to tell his disciples, 
behold, "Je'sus met them, saying, All hail. And 
they came and held him by the feet, and wor- 
shipped him. 

10 Then said Je'sus unto them, Be not 
afraid: go tell h my brethren that they go into 
Gal'i-lee, and there shall they see me. 

11 H 4 Now when they were going, behold, 
some of the watch came into the city, and 
shewed unto the chief priests all the things 
that were done. 

12 And when they were assembled with the 
elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large 
money unto the soldiers, 

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by 
night, and stole him away while we slept, 

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, 
we will persuade him, and secure you. 



3. In vs. 9, 10 is an account of 
the second appearance of Jesus-. 



4. In ts. 11-15 is an account of 
the false report of the guard. 



5. In vs. 16-20 Christ appears to 
the disciples in Galilee. 



6. The death of Jesus having been 
accomplished, the Old Dispensation 
is ended and all power is given unto 
Christ, which brought into operation 
the New Dispensation. 



15 So they took the money, and did as they 
were taught: and this saying is commonly re- 
ported among the Jew§ until this day. 

16 H 5 Then the eleven disciples went away 
into Gal'i-lee, into a mountain *where Je'sus 
had appointed them. 

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped 
him: but some doubted. 

18 And Je'sus came and spake unto them, 
saying, iAll "power is given unto me in heaven 
and in earth. 

19 11 Go ye therefore, and ''teach k all nations, 
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and 
of the Son, and of the Ho'ly Ghost: 

20 Teaching them to observe all things what- 
soever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am 
with you alway, even unto the end of the world. 
Amen. 



g. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he 
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven 
devils. (Mk. 16:9.) And when she had thus said, she turned herself 
back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. (Jno. 
20:14.) 

h, For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be con- 
formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among 
many brethren. (Rom. 8:29.) For both he that sanctifieth and they 
who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed 
to call them brethren. (Heb. 2:11.) 

i. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 
(Mat. 26:32.) 

i. Thou rnadest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; 



thou hast put all things under his feet. (Ps. 8:6.) Wherefore God also hath 
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and 
things in earth, and things under the earth. (Phil. 2:9, 10.) Who is 
gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and author- 
ities and powers being made subject unto him. (I Pet. 3:22.) These 
shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for 
he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him 
are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Rev. 17:14.) 

k. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the 
nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our 
God. (Is. 52:10.) But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their 
sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the 
world. (Rom. 10:18.) 



THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO 

SAINT MARK 



NOTE. — The author of this book is, "John, whose surname was Mark." It is the shortest book of the Gospels. The author did not report the say- 
ings of Christ so much as he gave an account of his doings. The book is further characterized by being more minute and graphic in describing the 
events than are the other Gospels, also more definite in stating numbers. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Office of John the Baptist. 9 Jesus is bap- 
tized, 12 tempted, 14 he preacheth: 16 call- 
eth Peter, Andrew, James, and John: 32 
healeth many diseased persons. 

1 The beginning of the gospel of Je'§us 
Christ, "the Son of God; 

2 As it is Hvritten in the prophets, Behold, 
6 1 send my messenger before thy face, which 
shall prepare thy way before thee. 

3 The 'voice of one crying in the wilderness, 
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his 
paths straight. 

4 John ''did baptize in the wilderness, and 
preach the 'baptisms of repentance for the re- 
mission of sins. 

5 And there went out unto him all the land 
of Ju-dse'a, and they of Je-ru'sa-lem, and were 
all baptized of him in the river of Jor'dan, 
confessing their sins. 

6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, 
and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; 
and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 

7 And preached, saying, ^there cometh one 
mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose 
shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and un- 
loose. 

8 I ^indeed have baptized you with water: 
but he shall baptize you ''with the Ho'ly Ghost. 

9 3 And 'it came to pass in 'those days, that 
Je'sus came from Naz'a-reth of Gal'i-lee, and 
was baptized of John in Jor'dan.

water, he saw the heavens opened, and the 
Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 

11 And there came a voice from heaven, say- 
ing, & Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am 
well pleased. 

12 5 And 'immediately the spirit "driveth him 
into the wilderness. 

13 And he was there in the wilderness forty 
days, tempted of Sa'tan; and was with the 
wild beasts; '"and the angels ministered unto 
him. 

14 'Now after that John was put in prison, 
Je'sus came into Gal'i-lee, preaching "the gos- 
pel of the kingdom of God, 

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the 
kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and be- 
lieve the gospel. 

16 8 Now °as_he walked by the sea of Gal'i- 
lee, he saw Si'mon and An'drew his brother 
casting a net into the sea: for they were fish- 
ers. 

17 And Je'sus said unto them, Come ye after 
me, and I will make you to become fishers of 
men. 

18 And straightway they forsook their nets, 
and followed him. 

19 And when he had gone a little farther 
thence, he saw James the son of Zeb'e-dee, and 
John his brother, who also were in the ship 
mending °their nets. 

20 And straightway he called them: and 
they left their father Zeb'e-dee in the ship with 
the hired servants, and went after him. 



Ref. Mark. Chapter 1. 

a. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art 
my Son; this day haVe I begotten thee. (Ps. 2:7.) And the angel an- 
swered and said unto her. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and 
the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that 
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 
(Luke 1:35.) And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be 
the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (Mat. 4:3.) 
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, 
Of a truth thou art the Son of God. (Mat. 14:33.) God, who at sundry 
times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the 
prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom 
he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. 
(Heb. 1:1, 2.) 

b. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way 
before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his 
temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, 
he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) Simon the Canaanite, 
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. (Mat. 10:4.) This is he 
of whom it is written. Behold I send my messenger before thy face, 
which shall prepare thy way before thee. (Luke 7:27.) 

c. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 
(Is. 40:3.) As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, 
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way 
of the Lord, make his paths straight. (Luke 3:4.) For this is he that 
was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying 
in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths 
straight. (Mat. 3:3.) He said, I am the voice of one crying in the 
wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esa- 
ias. (Jno. 1:23.) 

d. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness 
of Judea. (Mat. 3:1.) And he came into all the country about Jordan, 
preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. (Luke 
3:3.) And John also was baptizing in iEnon near to Salim, because 
there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. (Jno. • 
3:23.) 

e. When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of 
repentance to all the people of Israel. (Acts 13:24.) To give knowledge 
of salvation unto his people, by the remission of their sins. (Luke 1:77.) 

f. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, 
John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the 
Holy Ghost. (Acts .11:16.) I indeed baptize you with water unto re- 
pentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes 
I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and 
with fire. (Mat. 3:11.) 

g. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, 
John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the 
Holy Ghost. (Acts 11:16.) 

h. For I will pnur water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon 
the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing 
upon thine offspring. (Is. 44:3.) And it shall come to pass afterward, 
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your 
daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your 
young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28.) And they were all filled with 



827 



the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit 
gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4.) And they of the circumcision which 
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on 
the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 10:45.) 
And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the 
beginning. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, 
John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy 
Ghost. (Acts 11:15, 16.) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one 
body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and 
have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (I Cor. 12:13.) 

i. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be bap- 
tized of him. But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized 
of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, 
Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteous- 
ness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up 
straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto 
him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting 
upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved 
Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Mat. 3:13-17.) Now when all the 
people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, 
and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in 
a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, 
which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. (Luke 
3:21, 22.) 

j. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from 
heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. (Jno. 1:32.) And Jesus, 
when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, 
the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God de- 
scending like a dove, and lighting upon him. (Mat. 3:16.) 

k. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art 
■my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Ps. 2:7.) And lo a voice from 
heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 
(Mat. 3:17.) For he received from God the Father honor and glory, 
when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is 
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (II Pet. 1:17.) And the 
Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a 
voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee 
I am well pleased. (Luke 3:22.) 

1. Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be 
tempted of the devil. (Mat. 4:1.) See Luke 4:1-11. 

m. Then the devil leaveth him; and, behold, angels came and min- 
istered unto him. (Mat. 4:11.) 

n. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was 
afterward an hungered. And when the tempter came to him, he said, 
If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 
(Mat. 4:2, 3.) 

o. And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, 
Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: 
for they were fishers. (Mat. 4:18.) Now when he had left speaking, he 
said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for 
a draught. (Luke 5:4.) One of the two which heard John speak, and 
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his 
own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have' found the Messias, 
which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. 
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona:

21 lf And J'they went into Ca-per'na-um ; and 
straightway on the sabbath day he entered into 
the synagogue, and taught. 

22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: 
for he taught them as one that had authority, 
and not as the scribes. 

23 And there was in their synagogue a man 
with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 

24 Saying, Let us alone; '-/what have we to 
do with thee, thou Je'sus of 'Naz'a-reth? art 
thou come to destroy us? I know thee who 
thou art, the *Holy One of God. 

25 And Je'sus rebuked him, saying, Hold 
thy peace, and come out of him. 

26 And when the unclean spirit had "torn 
him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out 
of him. 

27 And they were all f amazed, insomuch that 
they questioned among themselves, saying, 
What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? 
for with authority commandeth he even the un- 
clean spirits, and they do obey him. 

28 And immediately his fame spread abroad 
throughout all the region round about Gal'i-lee. 

29 12 And forthwith, when they were come 
out of the synagogue, they entered into the 
house of Sl'mon and An'drew, with James and 
John. 

30 But SI'mon's wife's mother lay sick of a 
fever, and anon they tell him of her. 

31 And he came and took her by the 
hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the 
fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they 
brought unto him all that were diseased, and 
them that were possessed with devils. 

33 And all the city was gathered together 
at the door. 

34 And he healed many that were sick of 
divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and 
"suffered not the devils to speak, because they 
knew him. 

35 And in the morning, rising up a great 
while before day, he went out, and departed 
into a solitary place, and r there prayed. 

36 And Si'mon and they that were with him 
followed after him. 

37 And when they had found him, they said 
unto him, All men seek for thee.

healing of the demoniac at Caper- 
naum.

38 And he said unto them, Let us go into 
the next toivns, that I may preach there also: 
for ''therefore came I forth. 

39 And he preached in their synagogues 
throughout all Gal'i-lee, and r cast out devils. 

40 "And there came a leper to him, beseech- 
ing him, and kneeling down to him, and saying 
unto him, If thou wilt, thou "canst make me 
clean. 

41 And Je'sus, moved 'with compassion, put 
forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto 
him, / will; be thou clean. 

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediate- 
ly the leprosy departed from him, and he was 
cleansed. 

43 And he straitly charged him, and forth- 
with sent him away; 

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing 
to any man: but go thy ivay, shew thyself to 
the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those 
things -which Moses commanded, for a testi- 
mony unto them. 

45 But he went out, and began to publish it 
much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch 
that Je'sus could no more openly enter into the 
city, but was without in desert places: and 
they came to him from every quarter. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Christ healeth one sick of the palsy, 14 call- 
eth Matthew from the receipt of custom, 18 
and excuseth his disciples for not fasti. ig. 

1 *And again he entered into Ca-per'na-um 
after some days; and it was noised that he 
was in the house. 

2 And straightway many were gathered to- 
gether, insomuch that there was no room to 
receive them, no, not so much as about the 
door: and "he preached the word unto them. 

3 And they come unto him, bringing one 
sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 

4 And when they could not come nigh unto 
him for the press, they uncovered the roof 
where he was : and when they had broken it up, 
they let down the bed wherein the sick of the 
palsy lay. 

5 When 6 Je'sus saw their faith, he said unto 
the sick of the palsy, c Son, thy sins be forgiven 
thee. 



thou shalt be called Cephas, which is, by interpretation, A stone. (Jno. 
1:40-42.) 

p. And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which 
is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim. (Mat. 
4:13.) And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them 
on the sabbath days. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for 
his word was with power. And in the synagogue there was a man which 
had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, say- 
ing, Let us alone: what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Naz- 
areth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the 
Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold tby peace, and 
come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in. the midst, he 
came out of him, and hurt him not. And they were all amazed, and 
spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with au- 
thority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come 
out. And the fame of him went out into every place of the country 
round about. (Luke 4:31-37.) 

q. (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the 
man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he whs kept bound with 
chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the 
devil into the wilderness.) (Luke 8:29.) 

r. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, lie began to 
cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. (Mk. 
10:47.) And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of 
Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the 
place where they laid him. (Mk. 16:6.) Saying, Let us alone; what 
have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to 
destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. (Luke 
4:34.) For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover 
of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader 
of the sect of the Nazarenes. (Acts 24:5.) 

s. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer 
thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.) But ye denied the Holy 
One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. 
(Acts 3:14.) Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou 
Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who 
thou art; the Holy One of God. (Luke 4:34.) But ye denied the Holy 
One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. (Acts 
3:14.) 

t. And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus an- 
swereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them 
that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! (Mk. 10:2!.) 
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away 
this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 
(Mk. 14:36.) And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man 



sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment, and they 
were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek 
Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: be- 
hold the place where they laid him. (Mk. 16:5. 6.) 

u. And he straitly charged them that they should not make him 
known. (Mk. 3:12.) And devils also came out of many, crying out, and 
saying, Thou art Christ, the Son of God. And he, rebuking thom, suf- 
fered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. (Luke 4:41.) 

v. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers 
and supplications, with strong crying and tears, unto him that was 
able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. (Heb. 
T i And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. (Luke 
5:16.) And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a 
mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there 
alone. (Mat. 14:23.) 

w. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me 
to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and 
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) I have 
glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest 
me to do. (Jno. 17:4.) 

x. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between 
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise 
his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) 

y. Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth 
by thy great power and stretched-out arm, and there is nothing too 
hard for thee. (Jer. 32:17.) 

z. And the priest shall go forth out of the camp: and the priest shall 
look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; Then 
shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two 
birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop (3, 4). 
And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and 
one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals 
of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. 
(Lev. 14:3, 4. 10.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And he entered into a shin, and passed over, and came into his 
own city. (Mat. 9:1.) 

b. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and 
to them that were nigh. (Eph. 2:17.) How shall we escape, if we nesi- ct 
so great salvation: which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, 
and was confirmed unto us by ' i heard him. (Heb. 2:3.) 

c. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying 
on a bed: and Jesus, seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, 
Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. • (Mat. 9:2.) Who for-

6 But there were certain of the scribes sit- 
ting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 

7 Why doth this man thus speak blas- 
phemies? ''who can forgive sins but God only? 
" 8 And immediately 'when Je'sus perceived 
in his spirit that they so reasoned within them- 
selves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these 
things in your hearts? 

9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of 
the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, 
Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 

10 But that ye may know that the fSon of 
man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he 
saith to the sick of the palsy,) 

11 / say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy 
bed, and go thy way into thine house. 

12 And immediately he arose, took up the 
bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch 
that they were all amazed, and glorified God, 
saying, We never saw it on this fashion. 

13 And he went forth again by the sea side; 
and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he 
taught them. 

14 And ^as he passed by, he saw Le'vi the 
son of Al-phae'us sitting at the receipt of cus- 
tom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he 
arose and followed him. 

15 And it came to pass, that, as Je'§us sat 
at meat in 4 his house, many publicans and sin- 
ners sat also together with Je'§us and his 
disciples: for there were many, and they fol- 
lowed him. 

16 And when ''the scribes and Phar'i-see§ 
saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they 
said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth 
and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 

17 When Je'sus heard it, he saith unto them, 
'They that are whole have no need of the phy- 
sician, but they that are sick: I came not to call 
the righteous, but simiers to repentance. 

18 ^And the disciples of John and of the 
Phar'i-see§ used to fast: and they come and 
say unto him, Why do the disciples of J5hn 
and of the Phai>'i-see§ fast, but thy disciples 
fast not? 

19 And Je'§us said unto them, Can the chil- 
dren of the ^bridechamber fast, while the bride- 
groom is with them? as long as they have the 
1 bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 

20 But the days will come, when the bride- 
groom shall be taken away from them, and then 
shall they fast in those days. 

21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth 
on an old garment: else the new piece that 
filled it up taketh away from the old, and the 
rent is made worse.

tles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will 
be marred: but new wine must be put into new 
bottles. 

23 And it "'came to pass, that he went 
through the corn fields on the sabbath day; 
and his disciples began, as they went, to "pluck 
the ears of corn. 

24 And the Phar'i-see§ said unto him, Be- 
hold, why do they on the sabbath day that 
which is not lawful? 

25 And he said unto them, Have ye never 
read "what Da'vid did, when he had need, and 
was an hungred, he, and they that were with 
him ? 

26 How he went into the house of God in 
the days of A-bi'a-thar the high priest, and did 
eat the shewbread, Pwhich is not lawful to eat 
but for the priests, and gave also to them 
which were with him? 

27 And he said unto them, The "sabbath was 
made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 

28 Therefore the Son q of man is Lord also 
of the sabbath. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 Christ healeth the withered hand: 13 he 

chooseth his twelve apostles. 

1 And a he entered again into the synagogue; 
and there was a man there which had a with- 
ered hand. 

2 And they watched him, whether he would 
heal him on the sabbath day; that they might 
accuse him. 

3 And he saith unto the man which had the 
withered hand, Stand forth. 

4 And he saith unto them, 7s it lawful to do 
good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to 
save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 

5 And when he had ^looked round about on 
them with anger, being grieved for the hard- 
ness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, 
Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it 
out: and his hand was restored whole as the 
other. 

6 And the Phar'i-see§ went forth, and 
straightway c took counsel with the He-ro'di- 
ans. against him, how they might destroy him. 

7 But Je'§us withdrew himself with his dis- 
ciples to the sea : and -a great ^multitude from 
GaTl-lee followed him, and from Ju-dse'a, 

8 And from Je-ru'sa-lem, and from I-du- 
mae'a, and from beyond Jor'dan; and they 
about Tyre and Si'don, a great multitude, when 
they had heard what great things he did, came 
unto him. 

9 And he spake to hi« disciples, that a small 



giveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. (Ps. 103:3.) He 
shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowl- 
edge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their 
iniquities. (Is. 53:11.) 

d. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. (Joh 
14:4.) But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 
(Ps. 130:4.) I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for 
mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Is. 43:25.) 

e. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or 
on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD 
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, 
but the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) O let the wicked- 
ness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the right- 
eous God trieth the hearts and reins. (Ps. 7:9.) 

f. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a 
Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 
5:31.) 

g. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named 
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith unto him, Follow 
me. And he arose, and followed him. (Mat. 9:9.) And after these things 
he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt 
of custom: and he said unto him. Follow me. (Luke 5:27.) 

h. Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am 
holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth 
all the day. (Is. 65:5.) 

i. But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be 
whole need not a physician, hut they that are sick. But go ye and 
learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am 
not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mat. 9:12, 13.) 
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 
(Luke 19:10.) 

j. Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and 
the Pharisees fast oft, hut thy disciples fast not? (Mat. 9:14.) 

k. Draw me, we will run after thee. The king hath brought me 



into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee: we will remem- 
ber thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. (Song 1:4.) 

1. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the mar- 
riage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Rev. 
19:7.) 

m. At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; 
and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of 
corn, and to eat. (Mat. 12:1.) 

n. When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbor, then 
thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move 
a sickle unto thy neighbor's standing corn. (Dt. 23:25.) 

o. So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread 
there but the showbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot 
bread in the day when it was taken away. (I Sam. 21:6.) 

p. And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the 
bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement 
was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not 
eat thereof, because they are holy. (Ex. 29:32, 33.) 

q. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. (Mat. 
1.2:8.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue. 
(Mat. 12:9.) And it. came to pass also on another sabbath, that he en- 
tered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right 
hand was withered. (Luke 6:6.) 

b. And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man. 
Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored 
whole as the other. (Luke 6:10.) 

c. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a counsel against him, 
how they might destroy him. (Mat. 12:14.) 

d. And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the 
company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all 
Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which 
came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. (Luke 6:17.)

ship should wait on him because of the multi- 
tude, lest they should throng him. 

10 For he had healed many; insomuch that 
they pressed upon him for to touch him, as 
many as had plagues. 

11 And e unclean spirits, when they saw him, 
fell down before him, and cried, saying, ^Thou 
art the Son of God. 

12 And he ^straitly charged them that they 
should not make him known. 

13 2 And he goeth up into a mountain, and 
calleth unto him whom he would: and they 
came unto him. 

14 And he ordained twelve, that they should 
be with him, and that he might send them 
forth to preach, 

15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and 
''to cast out devils: 

16 And Si'mon he surnamed 3 Pe'ter; 

17 And Jame§ the son of Zeb'e-dee, and 
John the brother of James; and he surnamed 
them Bo-an-er'ge§, which is, The sons of thun- 
der: 

18 And An'drew, and Phil'ip, and Bar-thol'o- 
mew, and Mat'thew, and ThSm'as, and Jame§ 
the son of Al-phae'us, and Thad-das'us, and Si'- 
mon the Ca'naan-Ite, 

19 4 And Jii'das I.s-car'i-ot, which also be- 
trayed him: and they went into an house. 

20 And the multitude cometh together again, 
so that they could not so much as eat bread. 

21 And when his friends heard of it, they 
went out to lay hold on him: for they said, 'He 
is beside himself. 

22 If And the scribes which came down from 
Je-ru'sa-lem said, ^He hath Be-el'ze-bub, and 
by the prince of the devils casteth he out 
devils. 

23 And he called them unto him, and said 
unto them in parables, How can Sd'tan cast 
out Sd'tan? 

24 And if a kingdqm l 'be divided against it- 
self, that kingdom cannot stand. 

25 And if a house be divided against itself, 
that house cannot stand.

bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his 
house.

forgiven unto the sons of men, and 'blas-

30 Because they said, He hath an unclean 
spirit. 

31 If 6 There came then his brethren and his 
mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, 
calling him. 

32 And the multitude sat about him, and 
they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy 
brethren without seek for thee. 

33 And he answered them, saying, "Who is 
my mother, or my brethren? 

34 And he looked round about on them 
which sat about him, and said, Behold my 
mother and Pmy brethren! 

35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, 
the same is my brother, and my sister, and 
mother. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 The parable of the sower, 14 and the mean- 
ing thereof. 26 The parable of the seed 
growing secretly. 35 Christ stilleth the tem- 
pest on the sea. 

1 \And a he began again to teach by the sea 
side: and there was gathered unto him a great 
multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and 
sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was 
by the sea on the land. 

2 And he taught them many things by para- 
bles, and said unto them in his doctrine, 

3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower 
to sow: 

4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some 
fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air 
came and devoured it up. 

5 And some fell on stony ground, ivhere it 
had not much earth; and immediately it sprang 
up, because it had no depth of earth: 

6 But ivhen the sun was up, it ivas scorched; 
and because it had no root, it withered away. 

7 And some fell among thorns, and the 
thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded 
no fruit. 

8 And other fell on good ground, and did 
yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and 
brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and 
some an hundred. 

9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears 
to hear, let him hear. 

10 And when he was alone, they that were 
about him with the twelve 6 asked of him the 
parable. 

11 "And he said unto them, Unto you it is 
given to know the c mystery of the kingdom of 
God: but unto them that are without, all these 
things are done in parables: 

12 That ^seeing they may see, and not per- 
ceive; and hearing they may hear, and not un- 
derstand; lest at any time they should be con- 
verted, and their sins should be forgiven them. 

13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this 



e. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; 
and he cried out. (Mk. 1:23.) And devils also came out of many, cry- 
ing out, and saying, Thou art Christ, the Son of God. And he, re- 
buking them, suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was 
Christ. (Luke 4:41.) 

f. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped them, say- 
ing, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. (Mat. 14:33.) The beginning 
of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Mk. 1:1.) Thou believest 
that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and 
tremble. (Js. 2:19.) 

g. And charged them that they should not make him known. (Mat. 
12:16.) 

h. And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave 
them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all 
manner of sickness, and all manner of disease. (Mat. 10:1.) Then he called 
his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over 
all devils, and to cure diseases. (Luke 9:1.) 

i. For neither did his brethren believe in him. (Jno. 7:5.) And 
many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 
(Jno. 10:20.) 

j. But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub 
the chief of the devils. (Luke 11:15.) 

k. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every 
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city 
or house divided against itself shall not stand. (Mat. 12:25.) 

1. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil 
his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil 
his house. (Mat. 12:29.) 

m. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy 
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 
shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word 



against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speak- 
eth against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither 
in this world, neither in the world to come. (Mat. 12:31, 32.) And who- 
soever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven 
him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall 
not be forgiven. (Luke 12:10.) 

n. If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he 
shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. 
There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. (I Jno. 
5:16.) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought 
worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted 
the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, 
and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Heb. 10:29.) 

o. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: ypa, 
though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know 
we him no more. (II Cor. 5:16.) 

p. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be con- 
formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among 
many brethren. (Rom. 8:29.) For both he that sanctifieth and they 
who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed 
to call them brethren. (Heb. 2:11.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea 
side. (Mat. 13:1.) 

b. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with 
all thy getting get understanding. (Prov. 4:7.) 

c. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; 
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (I Cor. 1:18.) 

d. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but un- 
derstand not: and see ye indeed, but perceive not. (Is. 6:9.) Hear not 
this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and

15 And these are they by the way side, where 
Hie word is sown; but ivhen they have heard, 
e Sa'tan cometh immediately, and taketh away

16 And these are they likewise ivhich arc 
sown on stony ground; ivho, when they have 
heard the word, immediately receive it with 
gladness; 

17 And have no root in themselves, and so 
endure but for a time: afterward, when af- 
fliction or persecution ariseth for the word's 
sake, immediately they are offended. 

18 And these are they ivhich are sown among

19 And the cares of this world, fund the de-

21 IT And 7l he said unto them, Is a candle 
brought to be put under a bushel, or under a 
bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

be manifested; neither was any thing kept 
secret, but that it shoidd come abroad.

be ^measured to you: and unto you, that hear 
shall more be given.

when it is sown in the earth, is less than all

32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and 
becometh greater . than all herbs, and shooteth 
out great branches; so that the fowls of the 
air may lodge under the shadow of it. 

33 And "with many such parables spake he 
the word unto them, as they were able to 
hear it. 

34 But without a parable spake he not unto 
them : and when they were alone, he expounded 
all thing's to his disciples. 

35 "And the same day, when the even was 
come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto 
the other side. 

36 And when they had sent away the multi- 
tude, they took him even as he was in the ship. 
And there were also with him other little ships. 

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, 
and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was 
now full. 

38 And he was in the hinder part of the 
ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, 
and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that 
we perish? 

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and 
said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind 
ceased, and there was a great calm. 

40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so 
fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 

,41 And they ^feared exceedingly, and said 
one to another, What manner of man is this, 
that even the wind and the sea obey him?

and no man could bind him, no, not with 
chains : 

4 Because that he had been often bound with 
fetters and chains, - and the chains had been 
plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken 
in pieces : neither could any man tame him. 



see not; which have ears, and hear not. ■ (Jer. 5:21.) And in them is 
fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, 
and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not per- 
ceive. (Mat. 13:14.) 

e. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant 
of his devices. (II Cor. 2:11.) Be sober, be vigilant; because your ad- 
versary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about ; seeking whom he 
may devour. (I Pet. 5:8.) 

f. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted 
in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wick- 
edness. (Ps. 52:7.) Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? 
for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle 
toward heaven. (Prov. 23:5.) And when Jesus saw that he was very 
sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into 
the kingdom of God! (Luke 1S:24.) But they that will be rich fall into 
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which 
drown men in destruction and perdition. (I Tim. 6:9.) 

g. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law 
by the bodv of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to 
him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto 
God. (Rom. 7:4.) Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we per- 
suade men: but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are 
made manifest in your consciences. (II Cor. 5:11.) 

h. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on 
a candlestick: and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. (Mat. 
5:15.) No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel. 
or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which 
enter in may see the light. (Luke 8:16.) No man, when he hath lighted 
a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a 
candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. (Luke 11:33.) 

i. Fear' them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall 
not be revealed; and hid. that shall not be known. (Mat. 10:26.) For 
there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that 
shall not be known. (Luke 12:2.) For the life was manifested, and we 
have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life 
which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us. (I Jno. 1:2.) 

j. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they 
are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 
(I Jno. 4:1.) 



k. And why behcldest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, 
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (Mat. 7:3.) 

1. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have 
more abundance; but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away 
even that he hath. (Mat. 13:12.) Take heed therefore how ye hear: for 
whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from 
him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. (Luke 8:18.) 

m. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud 
voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for 
the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 
(Rev. 14:15.) 

n. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom 
of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and 
sowed in his field. (Mat. 13:31.) Then said he. Unto what is the king- 
dom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? (Luke 13:18.) Then 
they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day 
there were added unto them about three thousand souls. (Acts 2:41.) 
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men 
and women. (Acts 5:14.) 

o. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and 
without a parable spake he not unto them. (Mat. 13:34.) I have yet 
many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. (Jno. 16:12.) 

p. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the 
world stand in awe cf him: For he spake, and it was done; he com- 
manded, and it stood fast. (Ps. 33:8, 9.) God is greatly to be feared in 
the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that 
are about him. (Ps. 89:7.) O worship the Lord in the beauty of holi- 
ness: fear before him, all the earth. Ps. 96:9.) Forasmuch as there is 
none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in 
might. Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth 
it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, a"d 
in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. (Jer. 10:6, 7.) So 
they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased 
from her raging. Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and 
offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows. (Jon. 1:15, 16.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And when he was come to the other side, into the country of 
the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out 
of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 



Ch. 



5 And always, night and day, he was in the 
mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cut- 
ting himself with stones. 

6 But when he saw Je'sus afar off, he ran 
and ^worshipped him, 

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, 
What have I to do with thee, Je'sus, thou Son 
of the most high God? I adjure "thee by God, 
that thou torment me not. 

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the 
man, thou unclean spirit. 

9 And he ; asked 3 him, What is thy name? 
And he 'answered, saying, My name is Legion : 
for we are many. 

10 And he besought him much that he would 
not send them away out of the country. 

11 Now there was there nigh unto the moun- 
tains a great herd of ''swine feeding. 

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, 
Send us into the swine, that we may enter into 
them. 

13 And forthwith "Je'sus gave them leave. 
And the unclean spirits went out, and entered 
into the swine: and the herd ran violently 
down a steep place into the sea, (they were 
about two thousand;) and were choked in the 
sea. 

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and 
told it in the city, and in the country. And 
they went out to see what it was that was done. 

15 And they come to Je'sus, and see him 
that was possessed with the devil, and had the 
legion, sitting, and clothed, and ^in his right 
mind: and they were afraid. 

16 And they that saw it told them how it 
befell to him that was possessed with the devil, 
and also concerning the swine. 

17 And 'they began to pray him to depart 
out of their coasts. 

18 And when he was come into the ship, he 
-"that had been possessed with the devil prayed 
him that he might be with him. 

19 Howbeit Je'sus suffered him not, but saith 
unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them 
how great things the Lord hath done for thee, 
and hath had compassion on thee. 

20 And he departed, and ''began to publish 
in De-cap'5-lis how great things Je'sus had 
done for him: and all men did marvel. 

21 And when Je'sus was passed over again 
by ship unto the other side, much people gath- 
ered unto him : and he was nigh unto the sea. 

22 "And, 'behold, there cometh one of the 
rulers of the synagogue, Ja-I'rus by name; and 
when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 

23 And besought him greatly, saying, My 
little daughter lieth at the point of death: I 
pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that 
she may be healed; and she shall live.

A. D. 31 

24 And Je'sus went with him; and much 
people followed him, and thronged him. 

25 And a certain woman, wdiich had an is- 
sue of blood twelve years, 

26 And had suffered many things of many 
physicians, and had spent all that she had, 
and was nothing bettered, but rather grew 
worse, 

27 When she had heard of Je'sus, came in 
the press behind, and "touched his garment. 

28 For she said, If I may touch but his 
clothes, I shall be whole. 

29 And -'straightway the fountain of her 
blood was dried up; and she felt in her body 
that she was healed of that plague. 

30 And Je'sus, immediately knowing in him- 
self that Virtue had gone out of him, turned 
him about in the press, and said, Who touched 
my clothes? 

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou 
seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest 
thou, Who touched me? 

32 And he looked round about to see her 
that had done this thing. 

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, 
knowing what was done in her, came and fell 
down before him, and told him all the truth. 

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, Hky 
faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and 
be whole of thy plague. 

35 While he yet spake, there came from the 
ruler of the synagogue's house certain which 
said, Thy daughter is dead : why troublest thou 
the Master any further? 

36 As soon as Je'sus heard the word that 
was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the 
synagogue, l Be not afraid, only believe. 

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, 
save Peter, and James, and John the brother 
of James. 

38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler 
of the • synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and 
them that wept and wailed greatly. 

39 And when he was come in, he saith unto 
them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the 
damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. 

40 And they laughed him to scorn. But 
"'when he had put them all out, he taketh the 
father and the mother of the damsel, and them 
that were with him, and entereth in where the 
damsel was lying. 

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and 
said unto her, Tdl'i-thd cu'ml : which is, being 
interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 

42 And straightway the damsel arose, and 
walked; for she was of the age of twelve 
years. And they were astonished with a great 
astonishment. 



(Hat. 8:28.) And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, 'which 
is over against Galilee. (Luke S:26.) 

b. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his 
enemies shall lick the dust. (Ps. 72:9.) That at the name of Jesus 
every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and 
things under the earth; And that everv tongue should confess that 
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:10, 11.) 

e. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the 
cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch 
their dead carcase. (Dt. 14:8.) Which remain among the graves, and 
lodge in the monuments; which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abom- 
inable things is in their vessels. (Is. 65:4.) 

d. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but 
save his life. (Job 2:6.) With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived 
and the deceiver are his. (Job 12:16.) God hath spoken once; twice have 
I heard this, that power belongeth unto God. (Ps. 62:11.) Which he 
wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at 
his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, 
and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, 
not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. (Eph. 1:20, 21.) 
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God: angels and 
authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (I Pet. 3:22.) 

e. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. 
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (Rom. 16:20.) 
He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the 
beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he 
might destroy the works of the devil. (I Jno. 3:8.) 

f. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us: for we desire not 
thf- knowledge of thy ways. (Job 21:14.) And they came and besought 
them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. 
(Acts 16:::ft. i Hut the natural man receivetli not the things of the Spirit 



of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, 
because they are spiritually discerned. (I Cor. 2:140 

g. What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward 
me? (Ps. 116:12.) Now the man out of whom the devils were departed 
besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him awav, say- 
ing. (Luke 8:38.) 

h. I will mention the loving-kindnesses of the Lord, and the praises 
of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and 
the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed 
on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of 
his loving-kindnesses. (Is. 63:7.) 

i. While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a 
certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying. My daughter is even now 
dead: but come and lay thv hand upon her, and she shall live. (Mat. 
9:18.) 

j. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord 
thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear 
to his commandments, and keep all his statutes. I will put none of these 
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am 
the Lord that healeth thee. (Ex. 15:26.) 

k. But Jesus turned him about: and when he saw her. he said. 
Daughter, he of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee. whole. And 
the woman was made whole from that hour. (Mat. 9:22.) The same 
heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that 
he had faith to be healed. Said with a loud voice. Stand upright on thy 
feet. And he leaped and walked. (Acts 14:9, 10.) 

I. Jesus saith unto her. Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest 
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? (Jno. 11:40.) 

m. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; 
and turning him to the body said, labitha, arise. ' And she opened 
her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. (Acts 9:40.)

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Christ is contemned of his countrymen. 27 
John Baptist is beheaded, 29 and buried. 
34 The miracle of the loaves and fishes. 

1 'And a he went out from thence, and came 
into his own country; and his disciples follow 
him. 

2 And when the sabbath day was come, he 
began to teach in the synagogue: and many 
hearing him were astonished, saying, From 
whence hath this man these things? and what 
wisdom is this which is given unto him, that 
even such mighty works are wrought by his 
hands? 

3 Is 6 not this the carpenter, the son of 
Ma'ry, f the brother of James, and Jo'ses, and 
of Ju'da, and Si'mon? and are not his sisters 
here with us? and they were offended at him. 

4 But Je'sus said unto them, d A prophet is 
not without honour, but in his own country, 
and among his own kin, and in his own house. 

5 And f he could there do no mighty work, 
save that he laid his hands upon a few sick 
folk, and healed them. 

6 And he marvelled because of their un- 
belief. And he went round about the villages, 
teaching. 

7 H 2 And r he called unto him the twelve, and 
began to send them forth by two and two; and 
gave them power over unclean spirits; 

8 And commanded them that they should 
take nothing for their journey, save a staff 
only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their 
purse: 

9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on 
two coats. 

10 And he said unto them, In what place so- 
ever ye enter into an house, there 3 abide till ye 
depart from that place. 

11 And ivhosoever shall not receive you, nor 
hear you, when ye depart thence, shake 9off the 
dust under your feet for a testimony against 
them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more 
tolerable for Sod'om and Go-mor'rhd in the 
day of judgment, than for that city. 

12 And they went out, and preached that 
men should repent. 

13 And they cast out many devils, ft and 
anointed with oil many that were sick, and 
healed them. 

14 4 And king Her'od heard of him; (for his 
name was spread abroad:) and he said, That 
John the Bap'tist was risen from the dead, and 
therefore mighty works do shew forth them-

1. In vs. 1-6 Nazareth rejects 
Christ the second time. The parallel

2. In vs. 7-13 is an account of 
the sending out and the mission of 
the 12 apostles. The parallel record 
is recorded in Mat. 10:1-15 and Lube 
9:1-6. 



3. A provision to save loss of 
time, as it was an oriental custom 
that when a stranger was passing 
through a village the people one after 
another must invite him to eat with 
them. To reject their invitation 
aroused an ill feeling which fre- 
quently ended in feuds and disturb- 
ances: consequently, to save so much 
loss of time in accepting the invi- 
tation from house to house, the 12 
were commanded to remain in one 
house. 



4. In vs. 14-16 Herod desires to 
see Jesus. Parallel record is found

5. In vs. 17-29 is an account of

the Baptist. The parallel record is 
found in Mat. 14:1-12 and Luke 9: 
7-9. 



6. In vs. 30-56 Is an account of

15 Others said, That it is E-li'as. And 
others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of 
the prophets. 

16 But 'when Her'od heard thereof, he said, 
It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from 
the dead. 

17 Tor Her'od himself had sent forth and 
laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison 
for He-ro'di-as' sake, his brother Phil'ip's wife: 
for he had married her. 

18 For John had said unto Her'od, i\t is not 
lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 

19 Therefore He-ro'di-as had a quarrel 
against him, and would have killed him; but 
she could not: 

20 For Her'od feared John, knowing that he 
was a just man and an holy, and observed 
him; and when he heard him, he did many 
things, and heard him gladly. 

21 And when a convenient day was come, 
that Her'od on his birthday made a supper to 
his lords, high captains, and chief estates of 
Gal'i-lee; 

22 And when the daughter of the said Her 
ro'di-as came in, *'and danced, and pleased 
Her'od and them that sat with him, the king 
said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever 
thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 

23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever 'thou 
shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the 
half of my kingdom. 

24 And she went forth, and said unto her 
mother, What shall I ask? And she said, 
"'The head of John the Bap'tist. 

25 And she came in straightway with haste 
unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that 
thou give me by and by in a charger the head 
of John the Bap'tist. 

26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet 
for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which 
sat with him, he would not reject her. 

27 And immediately the king sent an execu- 
tioner, and commanded his head to be brought: 
and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 

28 And brought his head in a charger, and 
gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it 
to her mother. 

29 And when his disciples heard of it, they 
came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a 
tomb. 

30 "And "the apostles gathered themselves 
together unto Je'sus, and told him all things, 
both what they had done, and what they had 
taught. 

31 And he said unto them, Come ye your- 
selves apart into a desert place, and rest a 
while: for there were many coming and going, 
and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 



n. And charged them that they should not maRe him known. (Mat. 
12:16.) And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself 
to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses com- 
manded, for a testimony unto them. (Luke 5:14.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them 
in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, 
Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? (Mat. 
13:54.) And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, 
as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and 
stood up for to read. (Luke 4:i6.) 

b. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a 
root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when 
we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is 
despised and rejected of men ; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with 
grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him: he was despised, and 
we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:2, 3.) 

c. While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his 
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Mat. 12:46.) But 
other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. (Gal. 
1:19.) 

d. And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A 
prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own 
house. (Mat. 13:57.) For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath 
no honor in his own country. (Jno. 4:44.) 

e. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou 
be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. (Gen. 
19:22.) And he did not many mighty works there, because of their un- 
belief. (Mat. 13:58.) 

f. And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave 



them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all 
manner of sickness, and all manner of disease. (Mat. 10:1.) 

g. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came 
unto Iconium. (Acts 13:51.) And when they opposed themselves, ana 
blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be 
upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the 
Gentiles. (Acts 18:6.) 

h. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; 
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of 
the Lord. (Js. 5:14.) 

i. But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his 
brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, Added 
yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. (Luke 3:19, 20.) 

j. And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing; 
he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness: they shall be childless. (Lev. 
20:21.) Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before 
the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord, which he did to you and 
to your fathers. (I Sam. 12:7.) 

k. Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are 
haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks, and wanton eyes, walk- 
ing and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet. (Is. 
3:16.) 

1. Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and 
what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the 
kingdom. (Esth. 5:3.) 

m. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender 
mercies of the wicked are cruel. (Prov. 12:10.) 

n. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, 
who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, 
and John his brother. (Mat. 10:2.) And when it was day, he called unto 
him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named

32 7 And they departed into a desert place by 
ship privately. 

33 And the people saw them departing, and 
many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of 
all cities, and outwent them, and came together 
unto him. 

34 And ,J Je'sus, when he came out, saw much 
people, and was moved with compassion toward 
them, because they were as sheep not having a 
shepherd: and i>he began to teach them many 
things. 

35 And awhen the day was now far spent, 
his disciples came unto him, and said, This is 
a desert place, and now the time is far passed: 

36 Send them away, that they may go into 
the country round about, and into the villages, 
and buy themselves bread: for they have noth- 
ing to eat. 

37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye 
them to eat. And they say unto nim, 'Shall 
we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of 
bread, and give them to eat? 

38 He saith unto them, How many loaves 
have ye? go and see. And when they knew, 
they say, Five, and s 'two fishes. 

' 39 And he commanded them to make all sit 
down by companies upon the green grass. 

40 And they sat down in ranks, by hun- 
dreds, and by fifties. 

41 And when he had taken the five loaves 
and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, f and 
blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them 
to his disciples to set before them; and the 
two fishes divided he among them all. 

42 And they did all eat, and were filled. 

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of 
the fragments, and of the fishes. 

44 And they that did eat of the loaves were 
about five thousand men. 

45 5 And "straightway he constrained his 
disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the 
other side before unto Beth-sa'i-da, while he 
sent away the people. 

46 And when he had sent them away, he de- 
parted into a mountain to pray. 

47 And when even was come, the ship was 
in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the 
land.

Apostles. (Luke 6:13.) And the apostles, when they -were returned, told 
him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside pri- 
vately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. (Luke 
9:10.) And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve 
apostles with him. (Luke 22:14.) Until the day in which he was taken 
up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments 
unto the apostles whom he had chosen (2). And they gave forth their 
lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the 
eleven apostles. (Acts 1:2, 26.) 

0. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compas- 
sion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep 
having no shepherd. (Mat. 9:36.) And Jesus w T ent forth, and saw : a 
great multitude, and was ruoved with compassion toward them, and 
he healed their sick. (Mat. 14:14.) 

p. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall 
be the p^aee of thy children. (Is. 54:13.) The Spirit of the Lord God 
is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings 
unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to pro- 
claim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them 
that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) And the people, when they knew it, fol- 
lowed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom 
of God, and healed them that had need of healing. (Luke 9:11.) 

q. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This 
is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, 
that_ they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. (Mat: 
14:15.) And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, 
and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into 
the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for 
we are here in a desert place. (Luke 9:12.) 

r. Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they 
weep unto me, saying. Give us flesh, that we may eat (13). Shall the 
flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice thern? or shall all the 
fish of the sea be gathered toi . to suffice them? (Num. 

11:13, 22.) And his servitor said, What! should I set this before an 
hundred men? He said again, G people, that they may eat: for 

thus saith the Lord, They shall eat, and shall lea of. (II Ks. 

1:43.) 

s. And they say unto him. V\ . ■ :s, and two 

(Mat. li:17.i them, Ho\v many loaves ' 

ye? And they id en, and a few little fishes. (Mat. 15:34.) And 

he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 



them, walking upon the sea, and would have 
passed by them. 

49 But when they saw him walking upon . 
the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and 
cried out: 

50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. 
And immediately he talked with them, and 
saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be 
not afraid. 

■ 51 And he went up unto them into the ship; 
and the wind ceased: and they were sore 
amazed in themselves beyond measure, and 
wondered. 

52 For 'they considered not the miracle of 
the loaves: for their 1c heart was hardened. 

53 And when they had passed over, they 
came into the land of Gen-nes'a-ret, and drew 
to the shore. 

' 54 And when they were come out of the 
ship, straightway they knew him, 

55 And ran through that whole region round 
about, and began to carry about in beds those 
that were sick, where they heard he was. 

56 And whithersoever he entered, into vil- 
lages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick 
in the streets, and besought him that J they 
might touch if it were but the border of his 
garment: and as many as touched him were 
made whole. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 The Pharisees find faiilt at the disciples for 
eating tvith unwashen hands. 14 Meat de- 
fileth not the man. 24 He healeth the Syro- 
phenician woman's daughter of an unclean 
spirit. 

1 'Then came together unto him the Phari- 
see?, and certain of the scribes, which came 
from Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 And when they saw some of his disciples 
eat bread with a defiled, that is to say, with 
unwashen, hands, they found fault. 

3 For the Phar 'l-sees, and all the Jew§, ex- 
cept they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding 
the tradition of the elders. 

4 And when they come from the market, ex- 
cept they wash, they eat not. And many other 
things there be, which they have received to 
hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen 
vessels, and of tables. 

5 Then the Phar'i-sees and scribes asked 



(Mk. 8:5.) There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two 
small fishes: but what are they among so many? (Jno. 6:9.) 

t. As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find 
him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not 
eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards 
they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this 
time ye shall find him. (I Sam. 9:13.) And as they were eating, Jesus 
took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, 
and said, Take, eat; this is my body. (Mat. 26:26.) For every creature 
of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanks- 
giving: For it is sanctified by the w T ord of God and prayer. (I Tim. 
4:4, 5.) 

u. And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a 
ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the mul- 
titudes away. (Mat. 14:22.) And entered into a ship, and went over the 
sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come 
to them. (Jno. 6:17.) 

v. And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye 
because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? 
have ye your heart yet hardened? (Mk. S:17.) 

w. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: 
who can know it? (Jer. 17:9.) And when he had looked round about 
on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he 
saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: 
and his hand was restored whole as the other. (Mk. 3:5.) 

x. And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of 
blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his gar- 
ment. (Mat. 9:20.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. But Peter said, Not so, Lord: for I have never eaten any thing that 
is common or unclean (14). And he said unto them, Ye know how that 
it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or 
come unto one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should 
not call any man common or unclean. (Acts 10:14, 2S.) But I said. Not 
so. Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into 
my mouth. (Acts 11 :S.) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye. 
shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of 
God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was 
sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of 
grace? (Heb. 10:29.) And there shall in no wise enter into it any tlrng 
that defileth. neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie: 
but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Rev. 21:27.)

hire. Why walk not thy disciples according to 
the tradition .of the elders, but eat bread with 
unwashen hands? 

6 He answered and said unto them, Well 
hath E-sa'ias prophesied of you hypocrites, as 
it is written, h This people honour eth me with 
their lips, but their heart is far from me. 

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teach- 
ing for doctrines the commandments of men. 

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, 
ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing 
of pots and cups: and many other such like 
things ye do. 

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject 
the commandment of God, that ye may keep 
your own tradition. 

10 For Mo'ses said, c Honour thy father and 
thy mother; and, d Whoso curseth father or 
mother, let him die the. death: 

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his 
father or mother, It is 'Corban, that is to say, 
« gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited 
by me; he shall be free. 

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought 
for his father- or his mother; 

13 Making the word of God of none effect 
through your tradition, which ye have deliv- 
ered: and many such like things do ye. 

14 If And when he had called all the people 
unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me 
every one of you, and understand: 

15 There is ' nothing from without a man, 
that entering into him can defile him: but the 
things which come out of him, those are they 
that defile the man. 

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him 
hear. 

17 And when he was entered into the house 
from the people, his 2 disciples asked him con- 
cerning the parable. 

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so with- 
out understanding also? Do ye not perceive, 
that whatsoever thing f->-om without entereth 
into the man, it cannot defile him; 

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, 
but into the belli), and goeth out into the 
draught, purging all meats? 

20 And he said, That which cometh out of 
the man. that defileth the man. 

21 For ofrom within, out of the heart of 
men, proceed evil thoughts, adidteries, fornica- 
tions, murders, 

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, 
lasciviousness, an z evil eye, blasphemy, pride, 
foolishness: 



2. That is, through Peter. 



That is, an envious ere. 



4. In vs. 24-30 is an account of 
tin- healing of the daughter of thj 
Syro-Phoenieian woman. The paral- 
lel record is found in Mat. 15:21-2S.

the healing of the deaf and dumb 
man. Parallel to .Mat. 2<J:31.

1. In vs. 1-9 is an account of the 
feeding of the 4,000. The parallel

23 All these evil things come from within, 
and defile the man. 

24 11 And from thence he arose, and went 
into the borders of Tyre and Sl'don, and en- 
tered into an house, and would have no man 
know it: but he could not be hid. 

25 For a certain woman, whose young 
daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, 
and came and fell at his feet: 

26 The woman was a Greek, a Sy-ro-phe-ni'- 
cian by nation; and she besought him that he 
would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 

27 But Je'sus said unto her, h Let the chil- 
dren first be filled: for it is not meet to take 
the children's bread, and to cast it unto the 
dogs. 

28 And she answered and said unto him, 
Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of 
the children's crumbs. 

29 And he said unto her, For this saying go 
thy tvay; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 

30 And when she was come to her house, 
she found the 'devil gone out, and her daughter 
laid upon the bed. 

31 If 5 And again, departing from the coasts 
of Tyre and Sl'don, he came unto the sea of 
Gai'i-lee, through the midst of the coasts of 
De-ca.p'6-lis. 

32 And 'they bring unto him one that was 
deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; 
and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. 

33 And he took him aside from the multi- 
tude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he 
''spit, and touched his tongue; 

34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and 
saith unto him, Eph'phd-thd, that is, Be opened. 

35 And 'straightway his ears were opened, 
and the string of his tongue was loosed, anJ 
he spake plain. • 

36 And '"he charged them that they should 
tell no man : but the more he charged them, so 
much the more a great deal they published it; 

37 And were beyond measure astonished, 
saying, He hath done all things well: he mak- 
eth both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to 
speak. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 Christ feedeth the people miraculously: 22 
giveth a blind man his sight: 27 and ac- 
knowledged that he is the Christ, who should 
suffer and rise again. 

1 J In those days the multitude being very 
great, and having nothing to eat, Je'§us called 
his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, 



Why do thy diselpTes transgress the tradition of the elders? for they 
Wash not their hands when they eat bread. (Mat. 15:2.) And when the 
Pharisee saw it. he marvelled that he had not first washed before din- 
ner. (Luke 11:38.) 

b. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near 
me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have re- 
moved their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by 
the precept of men. (Is. 29:13.) And when they had lifted up their 
eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. (Mat. 17:8.) 

c. [The fifth commajidment.] Honor thy father and thy mother: 
that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee. (Ex. 20:12.) Honor thy father and thy mother, as the 
Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, 
and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee. (Dt. 5:16.) For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father 
and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the 
death. (Mat. 15:4.) 

d. "And he that curseth hir father or his mother shall surely be put 
to death. (Ex. 21:17.) Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp 
shall be put out in obscure darkness. (Prov. 20:20.) 

e. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It 
is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me. (Mat. 15:5.) 
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoever 
sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. (Mat. 23:18.) But if 
any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, 
he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. (I Tim. 5:8.) 

f. But Peter said, Not so, Lord: for I have never eaten any thing 
that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the 
second time. What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. (Acts 
10:14, 15.) For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but righteous- 
ness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 14:17.) But meat 
commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; 
neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. (I Cor. 8:8.) Unto the pure 
all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is 
nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. (Tit. 1:15.) 

g. And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his 
heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for 



the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I 
again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. (Gen. 8:21.) 
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornica- 
tions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. (Mat. 15:19.) Now the works 
of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, un- 
cleanness, lasciviousness. (Gal. 5:19.) 

h. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go 
not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans 
enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 
(Mat. 10:5, 6.) Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was 
necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: 
but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of ever- 
lasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46.) 

i. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be 
it unto you. (Mat. 9:29.) He that committeth sin Is of the devil; for 
the devil sitteth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God 
was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (I Jno. 
3:8.) 

j. As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man 
possessed with a devil. (Mat. 9:32.) And he was casting out a devil, 
and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, 
the dumb spake; and the people wondered. (Luke 11:14.) 

k. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made 
clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the 
clay. (Jno. 9:6.) 

1. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 
(Ps. 33:9.) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of 
the deaf shall be unstopped. (Is. 35:5.) The blind receive their sight, 
and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead 
are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. (Mat. 
11:5.) 

m. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard 
in the street. (Is. 42:2.) And he charged them straitly, that no man 
should know it; and commanded that something should he given her 
to eat. (Mk. 5:43.) And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither 
go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. (Mk. 8:26.)

2 I have "compassion on the multitude, be- 
cause they have noiv been ivith me three days, 
and have nothing to eat: 

3 And if I send them away fasting to their 
own houses, they will faint by the way: for 
divers of them came from far. 

4 And his disciples answered him, From 
whence 6 can a man satisfy these men with 
bread here in the wilderness? 

5 And he asked them, How many loaves 
have ye? And they said, Seven. 

6 And he commanded the people to sit down 
on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, 
and gave thanks, and brake, '"and gave to his 
disciples to set before them; and they did set 
them before the people. 

7 And they had a few small fishes: and ,J he 
blessed, and commanded to set them also before 
them. 

8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they 
took up of the broken meat that was left seven 
baskets. 

9 And they that had eaten were about four 
thousand: and he sent them away. 

10 *And straightway he entered into a ship 
with his disciples, and came into the parts of 
Dal-ma-nu'tha. 

11 And the f Phar'i-see§ came forth, and be- 
gan to question with him, seeking of him a 
sign from heaven, tempting him. 

12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and 
saith, Why doth this generation seek after a 
sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no 
sign be given unto this generation. 

13 And he left them, and entering into the 
ship again departed to the other side. 

14 If Now the disciples had forgotten to take 
bread, neither had they in the ship with them 
more than one loaf. 

15 And Hie charged them, saying, Take heed, 
beware of the leaven of the Pkar'i-see§, and of 
the leaven of Her'od. 

16 And they reasoned among themselves, 
saying, It is because we have no bread. 

17 And when Je'sus knew it, he saith unto 
them, Why reason ye, because ye have no 
bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? 
have ye your heart yet hardened? 

18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having 
ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 

19 When si brake the five loaves among five 
thousand, how many baskets full of fragments 

-took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

sand, how many baskets full of fragments took 
ye up? And they said, Seven. 

21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye 
do not understand? 

22 !f And he cometh to Beth-sa i-da ; and 
they bring a blind man unto him, and besought 
him to touch him. 

23 And he took the blind man by the hand, 
and led him out of the town; and when he had 
spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, 
he asked him if he saw ought. 

24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as 
trees, walking. 

25 After that he put his hands again upon 
his eyes, and made him look up : and he was re- 
stored, and saw every man clearly. 

26 And he sent him away to his house, say- 
ing, Neither go into the town, h nor tell it to 
any in the town. 

27 4<T And 'Je'sus went out, and his disciples, 
into the towns of Caes-a-re'a Phi-llp'pi : and by 
the way he asked his disciples, saying unto 
them, Whom do men say that I am? 

28 And they answered, John the Bap'tist: 
but some say, E-H'as; and others, One of the 
prophets. 

29 And he saith unto them, But whom say 
ye that I am? And Pe'ter answereth and saith 
unto him, -'Thou art the Christ. 

30 And he charged them that they should 
tell no man of him. 

31 And 'he began to teach them, that the 
Son of man must suffer many things, and be 
rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, 
and scribes, and be killed, and after three days 
rise again. 

32 And he spake that saying openly. And 
Pe'ter took him, and began to rebuke him. 

33 But when he had turned about and looked 
on his disciples, he rebuked Pe'ter, saying, Get 
thee behind me, Satan: for thou ' savourest not 
the things that be of God, but the things that 
be of men. 

3 1 r And when he had called the people unto 
him with his disciples also, he said unto them, 
'"Whosoever -will come after me, let him deny 
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 

35 For "whosoever will save his life shall 
lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for 
my sake and the gospel's, the same shall 
save it. 

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he 
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own 
soul? 

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for 
his soul? 



Chapter 8. 

a. The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his 
works. (Ps. 145:9.) Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made 
like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High 
Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins 
of the people. (Heb. 2:17.) For we have not an high priest which 
cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all 
points tempted like as we are. yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15.) 

b. And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the 
man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full 
ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that 
they may eat. And his servitor said, What! should I set this before 
an "hundred men? He said again. Give the people, that they may eat: 
for thus saith the Lord. They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. (II Ks. 
4:42. 43.) 

c. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the 
Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. (Dt. 8:10.) 

d. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and 
took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and. looking up to heaven, he 
blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disci- 
ples to the multitude. (Mat. 14:19.) 

e. Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, say- 
ing. Master, we would see a sign from thee. (Mat. 12:3S.) The Phar- 
isees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that h» 
would show them a sign from heaven. (Mat. 16:1.) They said there- 
fore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and 
believe thee? what dost thou work? (Jno. 6:30.) 

f. Then Jesus said unto them. Take heed and beware of the leaven 
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. (Mat. 10:6.) Your glorying is 
not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye ma}' be a new lump, as ye 
are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us 
(I Cor. 5:6, 7.) 

g. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the 
fragments that remained twelve baskets full. (Mat. 14:20.) And they 



took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. (Mk. 
6:43.) 

h. And Jesus saith unto him. See thou tell no man: but go thy way. 
show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Mcses commanded, 
for a testimony unto them. (Mat. 8:4.) And he charged them straitly 
that no man should know it: and commanded that something should 
be given her to eat. (Mk. 5:43.) 

i. When Jesus came into the coasts of Cesarea Thilippi, he asked 
his disciples," saying. Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? (Mat. 
16:13.) And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were 
with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? 
(Luke 9:1S.) 

j. And Simon Peter answerer! and said, Thou art the Christ, the 
Son of the living God. (Mat. 10:l(i.) And we belirve and are sure that 
thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (Jno. 6:69.) 

k. From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how 
that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders 
and ch'ef priests and scribes, and he killed, and be raised again the 
third day. (Mat. 16:21.) And he straitly charged them, and eom- 
ir.anded them to tell no man that thing: Saying, The Son of man must 
suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and 
=cribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. (Luke 9:21, 22.) 

1. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not sub- 
iect to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Rom. 8:7.) 'But the 
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are 
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are 
spiritually discerned. (I Cor 2:14.) 

m. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not 
worthy of me. (Mat. 10:38.) Then said Jesus unto his disciples. If any 
man will come after me, let him denv himself, and take up his cross, 
and follow me. (Mat. 16:24.) And they that are Christ's have crucified 
the flesh with the affections and lusts. (Gal. 5:24.) 

n. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in 
this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (Jno. 12:25.) And they over-

38 Whosoever "therefore shall be ashamed of 
vie and of my words in this adulterous and sin- 
ful generation; of him also shall the Son of 
man be ashamed, when he corneth in the glory 
of his Father with the holy angels. 

CHAPTER 9. 
2 Jesus is transfigured. 11 He instructeth his 
disciples concerning the coming of Elias: 14 
casteth forth a dumb and deaf spirit: 30 
foretelleth his death and resurrection: 33 ex- 
horteth his disciples to humility. 

1 And he said unto them, a Verily I say unto 
you, That there be some of them that stand 
here, which shall not taste of death, till they 
have seen Hhe kingdom of God come with 
poiver. 

2 'i And after six days Je'sus taketh with 
him Pe'ter, and Jame§, and John, and leadeth 
them up into an high mountain apart by them- 
selves: and he was transfigured before them. 

3 And his raiment became shining, exceed- 
ing °white as snow; so as no fuller on earth 
can white them. 

4 And there appeared unto them E-li'as with 
M6'§e§: and they were talking with Je'§us. 

5 And Pe'ter answered and said to Je'sus, 
Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us 
make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one 
for M5'se§, and one for E-li'as. 

6 For he wist not what to say; for they 
were sore afraid. 

7 And there d was a cloud that overshadowed 
them: and a voice came out of the cloud, say- 
ing, This is my beloved Son: e hear him. 

8 And suddenly, when they had looked round 
about, they saw no man any more, save Je'§us 
only with themselves. 

9 And as they came down from the moun- 
tain, he charged them that they should tell no 
man what things they had seen, till the Son of 
man were risen from the dead. 

10 And they kept that saying with them- 
selves, questioning one with another what the 
rising from the dead should mean. 

11 11 And they asked him, saying, Why say 
the scribes that E-li'as must first come? 

12 And he answered and told them, E-li'as 
verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; 
and fhow it is written of the Son of man, that 
he must suffer many things, and 9be set at 
nought. 

13 But I say unto you, That E-li'as is indeed 
come, and they have done unto him whatsoever 
they listed, as it is written of him.

saw a great multitude about them, and the 
scribes questioning with them. 

15 And straightway all the people, when 
they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and 
running to him saluted him. 

16 And he asked the scribes, What question 
ye with them? 

17 And ''one of the multitude answered and 
said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, 
which hath a dumb spirit; 

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he tear- 
eth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with 
his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy 
disciples that they should cast him out; and 
they could not. 

19 He answereth him, and saith, faithless 
generation, how long shall I be with you? how 
long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. 

20 And they brought him unto him: and 
when ! 'he saw him, straightway the spirit tare 
him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed 
foaming. 

21 And he asked his father, How long is it 
ago since this came unto him? And he said, 
Of a child. 

22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the 
fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but 
if thou canst do any thing, have compassion 
on us, and help us. 

23 Je'sus said unto him, ilf thou canst be- 
lieve, 3 all things are possible to him that be- 
lieveth. 

24 And straightway the father of the child 
cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; 
help thou mine unbelief. 

25 When Je'sus saw that the people came 
running together, he rebuked the ''foul spirit, 
saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I 
charge thee, come out of him, and enter no 
more into him. 

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, 
and came out of him: and he was as one dead; 
insomuch that many said, He is dead. 

27 But Je'§us took him by the hand, and 
lifted him up; and he arose. 

28 And when he was come into the house, 
his disciples asked him privately, Why could 
not we cast him out? 

29 And he said unto them, This kind can 
come forth by nothing, but by prayer and 
fasting. 

30 If And they departed thence, and passed 
through Gal'i-lee; and he would not that any 
man should know it. 

31 For he taught his disciples, and said 
unto them, The Son of man is delivered into 
the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and 



came him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; 
and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Rev. 12:11.) 

o. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny 
before my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 10:33.) But he that de- 
nieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. (Luke 
12:9.) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power 
of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and 
also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16.) If we suffer, we shall also reign with 
him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (II Tim. 2:12.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall 
not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his king- 
dom. (Mat. 16:28.) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in 
the clouds with great power and glory. (Mk. 13:26.) But. I tell you of 
a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till 
they see the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:27.) 

b. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: 
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the 
Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 
(Mat. 24:30.) For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the 
vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. (Luke 22:18.) 

c. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days 
did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like 
the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as 
burning fire. (Dan. 7:9.) His countenance was like lightning, and his 
raiment white as snow. (Mat. 28:3.) 

d. Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory 
of the Lord filled the tabernacle. (Ex. 40:34.) For he received from God 
the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from 
the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 
(II Pet. 1:17.) 

e. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at 
the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us 
by them that heard him. (Heb. 2:3.) 



f. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised 
of the people. (Ps. 22:6.) Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, and 
against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the 
Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn mine hand 
upon the little ones. (Zech. 13:7.) 

g. And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked 
him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 
(Luke 23:11.) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss 
for Christ. (Phil. 3:7.) 

h. And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were 
come down from the hill, much people met him. And, behold, a man 
of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon 
my son; for he is mine only child. (Luke 9:37, 38.) 

i. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a 
loud voice, he came out of him. (Mk. 1:26.) And as he was yet a-coming, 
the devil threw him down and tare him. (Luke 9:42.) 

j. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the 
wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and 
said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in 
the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, s» 
shall ye prosper. (II Chr. 20:20.) And the Lord said. If ye had faith as 
a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou 
plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should 
obey you. (Luke 17:6.) Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, 
if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? (Jno. 
11:10.) The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and 
perceiving that he had faith to be healed. (Acts 14:9.) 

k. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and 
with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were op- 
pressed of the devil: for God was with him. (Acts 10:38.) He that com- 
mitteth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. 
For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might de- 
stroy the works of the devil. (I Jno. 3:8.)

after that he is killed, he shall rise the third 
day. 

32 But they understood not that saying, and 
were afraid to ask him. 

33 IPAnd 'he came to Ca-per'na-um : and 
being in the house he asked them, What was 
it that ye ^disputed among yourselves by the 
way? 

34 But they held their peace: for by the way 
they had disputed among themselves, who 
should be the greatest. 

35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, 
and saith unto them, If any man desire to be 
first, the same shall be last of all, and servant 
of all. 

36 And '"he took a child, and set him in the 
midst of them: and when he had taken him in 
his arms, he said unto them, 

37 Whosoever shall receive one of such chil- 
dren in my name, receiveth me: and "whoso- 
ever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but 
him that sent me. 

38 If 7 And °J6hn answered him, saying, Mas- 
ter, we saw one casting out devils in thy 
name, and he followeth not us : and we forbad 
him, because he followeth not us. 

39 But Je'§us said, Forbid him not: vfor 
there is no man which shall do a miracle in 
my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 

40 For he that is not against us is on our 
part. 

41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of 
water to drink in my name, because ye belong 
to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not 
lose his reward. 

42 And ^whosoever shall ^offend one of these 
little ones that believe in me, it is better for 
him that a millstone were hanged about his 
neck, and he were cast into the sea. 

43 And if thy hand "offend thee, cut it off : 
it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, 
than having two hands to go into hell, into the 
fire that never shall be quenched: 

44 Where 'their worm dieth not, and the fire 
is not quenched. 

45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off : it 
is better for thee to enter halt into life, than 
having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire 
that never shall be quenched:

CHAPTER 10. 
2 Christ disputeth with the Pharisees touch- 
ing divorcement: 13 blesseth the children: 
46 and restoreth to Bartimseus his sight. 

1 \A.nd he arose from thence, and cometh 
into the coasts of Ju-dse'a by the farther side 
of Jor'dan: and the people resort unto him 
again; and, as he "was wont, he taught them 
again. 

2 If And the Phar'i-see§ came to him, and 
asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away 
his wife? tempting him. 

3 And he answered and said unto them, 
What did Mo'§es command you? 

4 And they said, 6 Mo'§e§ suffered to write a 
bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 

5 And Je'sus answered and said unto them, 
For the hardness of your heart he wrote you 
this precept. 

6 But from the beginning of the creation God 
made them male and female. 

7 For c this cause shall a man leave his fa- 
ther and mother, and cleave to his wife; 

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then 
they are no more twain, but one flesh. 

9 What therefore God hath joined together, 
let not man put asunder. 

10 And in the house his disciples asked him 
again of the same matter. 

11 And he saith unto them, ^Whosoever shall 
put away his wife, and marry another, commit- 
teth adultery against her. 

12 And if a woman shall put away her hus- 
band, and be married to another, she commit- 
teth adultery. 



1. At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is 
the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? (Mat. 18:1.) Then there arose 
a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. (Luke 
9:46.) 

m. And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst 
of them. (Mat. 18:2.) And he took them up in his arms, put his hands 
upon them, and blessed them. (Mk. 10:16.) 

n. He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, 
receiveth him that sent me. (Mat. 10:40.) And said unto them. Who- 
soever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever 
shall receive "me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among 
you all, the same shall be great. (Luke 9:48.) 

o. And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and 
Medad do prophesy in the camp. And Joshua the son of Nun, the 
servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord 
Moses, forbid them. (Num. 11:27, 28.) 

p. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by 
the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed; and that no man can say that 
Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (I Cor. 12:3.) 

q. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in 
me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his 
neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. (Mat. 18:6.) 
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will 
come: but woe unto him through whom they come! (Luke 17:1.) 

r. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the 
men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, 
neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring 
unto all flesh. (Is. 66:24.) Who shall be punished with everlasting de- 
struction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his 
power. (II Thess. 1:9.) 

s. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the 
Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Rom. 8:13.) And 
they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and 
lusts. (Gal. 5:24.) 

t. And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with 
salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be 
lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer 
salt. (Lev. 2:13.) 

u. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, 
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to 
be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (Mat. 5:13.) 

v. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but 
that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace 



unto the hearers. (Eph. 4:29.) Let your speech be alway with grace, 
seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every 
man. (Col. 4:6.) 

w. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with 
all men. (Rom. 12:18.) Let us therefore follow after the things which 
make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. (Rom. 
14:19.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. And went away again beyond Jordan, into the place where John 
at first baptized; and there he abode. (Jno. 10:40.) Then after that saith 
he to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. (Jno. 11:7.) And he 
taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doc- 
trine. (Mk. 4:2.) And when the sabbath day was come, he began to 
teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, say- 
ing, Prom whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this 
which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought 
by his hands? (2). And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And 
he went round about the villages, teaching (6). And Jesus, when he 
came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward 
them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began 
to teach them many things. (Mk. 6:2, 6, 34.) And Jesus answered and 
said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ 
is the son of David? (Mk. 12:35.) 

b. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come 
to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some 
uncleanness in her; then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and 
give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. (Dt. 24:1.) They 
say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of di- 
vorcement, and to put her away? (Mat. 19:7.) 

c. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall 
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Gen. 2:24.) Ye are 
the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall 
it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and 
to be trodden under foot of men. (Mat. 5:13.) Salt is good: but if the 
salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? (Luke 14:34.) 

d. But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, 
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and 
whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (Mat. 
5:32.) Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy 
neighbor as thyself. (Mat. 19:19.) Whosoever putteth away his wife, 
and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth 
her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. (Luke 
16:18.)

13 1f 2 And c they brought young children to 
him, that he should touch them: and his disci- 
ples rebuked those that brought them. 

14 But when Je'sus saw it, he was much 
displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little 
children to come unto me, and forbid them not: 
for fof such is the kingdom of God. 

15 Verily I say unto you, sWhosoever shall 
not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, 
he shall not enter therein. 

16 And he took them up in his arms, put 
his hands upon them, and blessed them. 

17 H 3 And when he was gone forth into the 
way, there came one running, and kneeled to 
him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall 
I do that I may ''inherit eternal life? 

18 And Je'sus said unto him, Why callest 
thou me good? there is none good but one, that 
is, God. 

19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not 
commit adultery, 'Do not kill, Do not steal, Do 
not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy 
father and mother. 

20 And he answered and said unto him, Mas- 
ter, all these have I observed from my youth. 

21 Then Je'sus beholding him loved him, and 
said unto him, One thing thou lack est : go thy 
way, sell 'whatsoever thou hast, and give to the 
poor, and thou shalt have treasure 1; in heaven: 
and come, Hake up the cross, and follow me. 

22 And he was sad at that saying, and went 
away grieved: for he had great possessions. 

23 1i And '"Je'§us looked round about, and 
saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they 
that have riches enter into the kingdom of 
God! 

24 And the disciples were astonished at his 
words. But Je'sus answereth again, and saith 
unto them, Children, how hard is it for them 
that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of 
God! 

25 It is easier for a camel to go through the 
eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter 
into the kingdom of God. 

26 And they were astonished out of measure, 
saying among themselves, Who then can be 
saved? 

27 And Je'sus looking upon them saith, With 
men it is impossible, but not with God: for 
"with God all things are possible. 

28 II Then Pe'ter began to say unto him, Lo, 
we have left all, and have followed thee.

mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my 
sake, and the gospel's, 

30 i>But he shall receive an hundredfold now 
in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, 
and mothers, and children, and lands, with 
^persecutions ; and in the world to come eternal 
life. 

31 But many that are first shall be last; and 
the last first. 

32 If *And they were in the way going up to 
Je-ru'sa-lem ; and Je'sus went before them : and 
they were amazed; and as they followed, they 
were afraid. 'And he took again the twelve, 
and began to tell them what things should 
happen unto him. 

33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Je-ru'sa-lem; 
and the Son of man shall be delivered unto 
the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and 
they shall condemn him to death, and shall 
deliver him to the Gen' tiles: 

34 And they shall mock him, and shall 
scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall 
kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. 

35 If 5 And sJames and John, the sons of Zeb- 
e-dee, come unto him, saying, Master, we 
would that thou shouldest do for us whatso- 
ever we shall desire. 

" 36 And he said unto them, What would ye 
that I should do for you? 

37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that 
we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the 
other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 

38 But Je'sus said unto them, Ye know not 
what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I 
drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that 
I am baptized with? 

39 And they said unto him, We can. And 
Je'§us said unto them, t Ye shall indeed drink 
of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism 
that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 

40 But to sit on my right hand and on my 
left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be 
given to them for whom it is prepared. 

41 And when the ten heard it, they began to 
be much displeased with Jame§ and John. 

42 But Je'sus called them to him, and saith 
unto them, Ye know that they which are ac- 
counted to rule over the Gen'tiles exercise lord- 



is. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch 
them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. (Luke 18:15.) 
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put 
his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But 
Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; 
for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, 
and departed thence. (Mat. 19:13-15.) 

f. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be 
ye children, but in understanding be men. (I Cor. 14:20.) 

g. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and 
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 
(Mat. 18:3.) But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, 
to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 19:14.) 
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of 
God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. (Luke 18:17.) Breth- 
ren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, 
but in understanding be men. (I Cor. 14:20.) As new-born babes, desire 
the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. (I Pet. 2:2.) 

h. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, 
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (Luke 10:25.) And a 
certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit 
eternal life? (Luke 18:18.) And now, brethren, I commend you to God, 
and to the word of his grace, vhich is able to build you up, and to give 
you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. (Acts 20:32.) 
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know 
what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his 
inheritance in the saints. (Eph. 1:18.) To an inheritance incorruptible, 
and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. 
(I Pet. 1:4.) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, 
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you 
from the foundation of the world. (Mat. 25:34.) 

i. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, 
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not 
covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly compre- 
hended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 
(Rom. 13:9.) For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not 
kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become 
a transgressor of the law. (Js. 2:11.) 

j. And all that believed were together, and had all things common. 
(Acts 2:44.) That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready 
to distribute, willing to communicate. (I Tim. 6:18.) 



k. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth 
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But 
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust 
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. (Mat. 
6:19, 20.) 

1. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to con- 
tinue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into 
the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22.) 

m. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That 
a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 19:23.) 

n. Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth 
by thy great power and stretched-out arm, and there is nothing too hard 
for thee. (Jer. 32:17.) 

o. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, 
or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, 
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (Mat. 
19:29.) And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man 
that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for 
the kingdom of God's sake. (Luke 18:29.) 

p. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man 
that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for 
the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in 
th ! s present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. (Luke 
18:29, 30.) 

q. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to con- 
tinue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into 
the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22.) Yea, and all that will live godly in 
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (II Tim. 3:12.) . 

r. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer 
many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and 
scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. (Mk. 8:31.) Then 
he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to 
Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning 
the Son of man shall be accomplished. (Luke 18:31.) 

s. Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her 
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. (Mat. 20:20.) 

t. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. (Acts 
12:2.) I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, 
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that 
is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus 
Christ. (Rev, 1:9.)

43 But "so shall it not be among you: but 
whosoever will be great among you, shall be 
your minister: 

44 And whosoever of you will be the chief est, 
shall be servant of all. 

45 For v even the Son of man came not to be 
ministered unto, but to minister, and w to give 
his life a ransom for many. 

46 % 6 And ^they came to Jer'i-eh5 : and as 
he went out of Jer'i-cho with his disciples and 
a great number of people, blind 7 Bar-ti-mas'us, 
the son of Ti-mas'us, sat by the highway side 
begging. 

47 And when he heard that it was Je'sus of 
Naz'a-reth, he began to cry out, and say, Je'sus, 
J'thou son of Da'vid, have mercy on me. 

48 And many charged him that he should 
hold his peace: but he cried the more a great 
deal, Thou son of Da'vid, haVe mercy on me. 

49 And Je'sus stood still, and commanded 
him to be called. And they call the blind man, 
saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he 
calleth thee. 

50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, 
and came to Je'sus. 

51 And Je'sus answered and said unto him, 
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? 
The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I 
might receive my sight. 

52 And Je'§us said unto him, Go thy way; 
thy faith hath made thee whole. And immedi- 
ately -he received his sight, and followed Je'sus 
in the way. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 Christ rideth into Jerusalem: 12 curseth the 
fruitless tree: 15 purgeth the temple: 20 
and exhorteth his disciples to stedfastness of 
faith, and to forgive their enemies.

unto Beth'pha-ge and Beth'a-ny, at the mount 
of Ol'ive§, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

4 And they went their way, and found the 
colt tied by the door without in a place where 
two ways met; and they loose him. 

5 And certain of them that stood there said 
unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 

6 And they said unto them even as Je'sus 
had commanded: and they let them go. 

7 And they brought the colt to Je'sus, and 
cast their garments on him; c and he sat upon 
him. 

t 8 And ^rnany spread their garments in the 
way: and others cut down branches off the 
trees, and strawed them in the way. 

9 And they that went before, and they that 
followed, cried, saying, Ho-san'na; e Blessed is 
he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 

10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father Da'- 
vid, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Ho-

found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs

No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for *ever. 
And his disciples heard it.

Je'sus went into the temple, and began to cast 
out them that sold and bought in the temple, 
and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, 
and the seats of them that sold doves; 

16 And would not suffer that any man should 
carry any vessel through the temple. 

17 And he taught, saying unto them, 7s it 
not written, 'My house shall be called of all 
nations the house of prayer? but ye have made 
it a den of thieves. 

18 And the 'scribes and chief priests heard 



u. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to 
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Mat. 20:28.) And 
said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth 
me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he 
that is least among you all, the same shall be great. (Luke 9:48.) 

v. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form 
of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. (Phil. 2:7.) Though 
he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. 
(Heb. 5:8.) 

w. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by 
his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall 
bear their iniquities. (Is. 53:11.) And after threescore and two weeks 
shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the 
prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and 
the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desola- 
tions are determined. (Dan. 9:26.) Christ hath redeemed us from the 
curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is 
every one that hangeth on a tree. (Gal. 3:13.) So Christ was once of- 
fered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall 
he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:28.) 

x. And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed

David, and the bright and morning star. (Rev. 22:16.) 

z. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the 
deaf shall be unstopped. (Is. 35:5.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to 
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 
Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway 
ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring 
them unto mc. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say. The 
Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. (All this 
was done, that it might bi fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, 
saying. Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, 
meek, and sitting upon an a and a colt the foal of an ass.) And the 
disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, And brought the ass, 
i tie colt, and put mi them their clothes, and they set hi in t hereon. 
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others 
cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And 



the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosan- 
na to the son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the 
Lord! Hosanna in the highest. (Mat. 21:1-9.) See Luke 19:29-38. 

b. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching 
peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all). (Acts 10:36.) Hath in these 
iast days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all 
things, by whom also he made the worlds. (Heb. 1:2.) And hath put 
all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things 
to the church. (Eph. 1:22.) 

c. And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they 
had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are 
in the land of Gilead. (Jud. 10:4.) Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; 
shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he 
is just, and having salvation: lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon 
a colt, the foal of an ass. (Zech. 9:9.) 

d. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; 
others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 
(Mat. 21:8.) 

e. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have 
blessed you out of the house of the Lord. (Ps. 118:26.) Behold, the 
Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter 
of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, 
and his work before him. (Is. G2:ll.) 

f. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them 
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the 
money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves. (Mat. 21:12.) 

g. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found 
nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow 
on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 
(Mat. 21:19.) 

h. And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that 
sold therein, and them that bought. (Luke 19:45.) And found in the 
temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of 
money sitting. (Jno. 2:14.) 

i. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them 
joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices 
shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an 
house of prayer for all people. (Is. 56:7.) And many nations shall be 
joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell 
in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath 
sent me unto thee. (Zech. 2:11.)

they perceived that he spake of them. But when they sought to lay

for they feared him, because all the people was 
astonished at his doctrine. 

19 And when even was come, he went out of 
the city. 

20 1f 6 And in the 7 morning, as they passed 
by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the 
roots. 

21 And Pe'ter calling to remembrance saith 
unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which 
thou cursedst is withered away. 

22 And Je'sus answering saith unto them, 
Have faith in God. 

23 For k verily I say unto you, That who- 
soever shall s say unto this mountain, Be thou 
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and 
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe 
that those things which he saith shall come to 
pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 

24 Therefore I say unto you, l What things 
soever ye desire, When ye pray, believe that ye 
receive them, and ye shall have them. 

25 And when ye stayid praying, "^forgive, m if 
ye have ought against any: that your Father 
also ivhich is in heaven may forgive you your 
trespasses. 

26 But "if ye do not forgive, neither will 
your Father which is in heaven forgive your 
trespasses.

and °as he was walking in the temple, there 
come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, 
and the elders, 

28 And say unto him, By what authority 
doest thou these things? and who gave thee this 
authority to do these things? 

29 And Je'sus answered and said unto them, 
I will also ask of you one question, and answer 
me, and I will tell you by what authority I do 
these things. 

30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, 
or of men? answer me. 

31 And they reasoned with themselves, say- 
ing, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, 
Why then did ye not believe him? 

32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared 
the people: for all men counted John, that he 
was a prophet indeed. 

33 And they answered and said unto Je'sus, 
We cannot tell. And Je'§us answering saith 
unto them, Neither vdo I tell you by what au- 
thority I do these things.

1 *And a he began to speak unto them by par- 
ables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and 
set an hedge about it, and digged a place for 
the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out 
to husbandmen, and went into a far country. 

2 And at the season he sent to the husband- 
men a servant, that he might receive from 
the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 

3 And they caught him, and beat him, and 
sent him away empty. 

4 And again he sent unto them another serv- 
ant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded 
him in the head, and sent him away shamefully 
handled. 

5 And again he sent another; and him they 
killed, and -many others; beating some, b and 
killing some. 

6 Having yet therefore one son, his c well- 
beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, 
They will reverence my son. 

7 But those husbandmen said among them- 
selves, This d is the heir; come, let us kill him, 
and the inheritance shall be our's. 

8 And they took him, and e killed him, and 
cast him out of the vineyard. 

9 What shall therefore the lord of the vine- 
yard do? he will come and destroy the husband- 
men, and will give the vineyard unto others. 

10 And have ye not read this scripture ; fThe 
stone which the builders rejected is become the 
head of the corner: 

11 This was the Lord's doing, and it sis 
marvellous in our eyes? 

12 And they ''sought to lay hold on him, but 
feared the people: for they knew that he had 
spoken the parable against them: and they 
left him, and went their way. 

13 1f 2 And they send unto him certain of the 
Phar'i-see§ and of the He-ro'di-an§, to catch 
him in his words. 

14 3 And when they were come, they say unto 
him, Master, we know that thou art true, and 
carest for no man: for thou regardest not 
the person of men, but teachest the way of 
God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to 
Cse'§ar, or not? 

15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But 
he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, 
Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I 
may see it. 

16 And they brought it. And he saith unto 
them, Whose is this image and superscription? 
And they said unto him, Caspar's. 

17 And Je'sus answering said unto them, 
Render to Cx'sar the things that are Cse'sar's, 
and to God the things that are God's. And 
they marvelled at him. 



hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a 
prophet. (Mat. 21:45, 46.) 

k. Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye 
have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the 
fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, 
and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. (Mat. 21:21.) And the 
Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto 
this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted 
in the sea; and it should obey you. (Luke 17:6.) 

1. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) And. I say unto you, Ask, 
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall 
be opened unto you. (Luke 11:9.) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my 
name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (Jno. 
14:13.) 

•m. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will 
also forgive you. (Mat. 6:14.) 

n. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye 
from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. 
(Mat. 18:35.) 

o. But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold 
John as a prophet. (Mat. 21:26.) 

p. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the 
froward is carried headlong. (Job 5:13.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which 
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wine-press 
in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a 
far country. (Mat. ?J:33.) Then began he to speak to the people this 
parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husband- 
men, and went into a far country for a long time. (Luke 20:9.) 

b. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his 



people, till' there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) Nevertheless they 
were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind 
their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn 
them to ihee, and they wrought great provocations. (Neh. 9:26.) Which 
of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain 
them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye 
have been now the betrayers and murderers. (Acts 7:52.) Who both killed 
the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and 
they please not God, and are contrary to ail men. (I Thess. 2:15.) 

c. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the 
flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and fer 
sin, condemned sin in the flesh. (Rom. 8:3.) But when the fulness of 
time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under 
the law. (Gal. 4:4.) 

d. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, 
and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Ps. 2:8.) Hath 
in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed 
heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. (Heb. 1:2.) 

e. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowl- 
edge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and 
slain. (Acts 2:23.) 

f. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone 
of the corner. (Ps. 118:22.) As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a 
stumblingstone and rock of offence - and whosoever believeth on him 
shall not be ashamed. (Kom. 9:33.) And are built upon the foundation 
of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner 
stone. (Eph. 2:20.) 

g. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God 
was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached 
unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (I 
Tim. 3:16.) 

h. Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom th&y 
seek to kill? (25). Then they sought to take him: but no man laid

18 1f 4 Then 'come unto him the Sad'du-cee§, 
^'whieh say there is no resurrection; and they 
asked him, saying, 

19 Master, A 'M6'se§ wrote unto us, If a man's 
brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and 
leave no children, that his brother should take 
his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 

20 Now there were seven brethren : and the 
first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 

21 And the second took her, and died, neither 
left he any seed: and the third likewise. 

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: 
last of all the woman died also. 

23 In the resurrection therefore, when they 
shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for 
the seven had her to wife. 

24 And Je'§us answering said unto them, Do 
ye not therefore err, because ye know not the 
'scriptures, "'neither the power of God? 

25 For when they shall rise from the dead, 
they neither '"marry, nor are given in marriage; 
but "are as the angels which are in heaven. 

26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: 
have ye not read in the book of Mo'§e§. how in 
the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the 
God of A'brd-hdm, and the God of I'§aac, and 
the God of Jacob? 

27 He is not the God of the dead, but the 
God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. 

28 t e And °one of the scribes came, and hav- 
ing heard them reasoning together, and per- 
ceiving that he had answered them well, asked 
him, Which is the first commandment of all? 

29 And Je'§us answered him, The first of all 
the commandments is, Hear, O Is'ra-el; The 
Lord our God is one Lord: 

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and 
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: 
this is the first commandment. 

31 And the second is like, namely this, vThou 
shalt love thy ''neighbour as thyself. There is 
none other commandment greater than these. 

32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Mas- 
ter, thou hast said the truth : for there is one 
God; ^and there is none other but he: 

33 And to love him with all the heart, and 
with all the understanding, and with all the 
soul, and with all the strength, and to love his 



4. In vs. 18-27 is recorded the 
discussion concerning tne seven 
brothers and the resurrection. 



5. As there are no births there 
are no marriages in heaven. The 
appetites of the body are all de- 
stroyed, only those affections which 
have their origin in heaven are re- 
tained. Love is divine, therefore 
love in heaven will doubtless be a 
continuation of the love on earth, 
purified of all grossness. 



6. In vs. 2S-34 is an account of 
the honest scribe. For parallel ac- 
count see Mat. 22:34-10. 



7. As we are commanded not to 
love ourselves selfishly, but truth 
first, in like manner shall we love 
our neighbors, i. e., desire their 
highest good, subject to the will of 
the Father. 



S. In vs. 34-37 Christ baffles 
the Pharisees regarding David.

10. A mite is equal to one-fifth 
of a cent. 



11. That is, more of faith and 
heart devotion. 



Ch. 13. A. D. 33. 



1. In ch. 13 Christ prophesies the 
destruction of Jerusalem and from 
it draws the lesson of his second 
coming. Parallel account is re- 
corded in Mat. 24:1-51, and Luke 
21 :5-36. 



2. In vol. 5 Josephus says that 
many of the stones were 60 ft. 
long, and that the pillars support- 
ing the porches were 37% ft. high, 
of solid white marble, in one piece. 
He further states that, during the 
siege, six days' constant battering 
against the walls made no impres. 
sion upon the massive stones. 



neighbour as himself, is r more than all whole 
burnt offerings and sacrifices. 

34 And when Je'§us saw that he answered 
discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far 
from the kingdom of God. And no man after 
that durst ask him any question. 

35 11 s And Je'§us answered and said, while he 
taught in the temple, How say the scribes that 
Christ is the son of Dd'vid? 

36 For Dd'vid himself said s by the Ho'ly 
Ghost, *The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on 
my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy 
footstool. 

37 Dd'vid therefore himself calleth him Lord; 
"and whence is he then his son? And the com- 
mon people heard him gladly. 

38 If And he said unto them in his doctrine, 
Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long 
clothing, and love salutations in the market- 
places, 

39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, 
and the uppermost rooms at feasts: 

40 Which v devour widows' houses, and for a 
pretence make long prayers: these shall re- 
ceive greater damnation. 

41 1i °And Je'sus sat over against the treas- 
ury, and beheld how the people cast money 
into the treasury: and many that were rich 
cast in much. 

42 And there came a certain poor widow, 
and she threw in two 10 mites, which make a 
farthing. 

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and 
saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That 
"'this poor widow hath cast ™more in, than all 
they which have cast into the treasury: 

44 For all they did cast in of their abun- 
dance; but she of her want did cast in all that 
she had, x even all her living. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 Christ foretelleth the destruction of the tem- 
ple: 10 that the gospel must be preached to 
all nations: 14 and that great calamities 
shall happen to the Jews : 24 and the manner 
of his coming to judgment. 
1 \A.nd a as he went out of the temple, one of 
his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what 
manner of ^stones and what buildings are here ! 



hands on him, because his hour was not yet come (30). And some of 
them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. - (Jno. 7:25, 
30, 44.) 

i. The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there 
is no resurrection, and asked him. (Mat. 22:23.) Then came to him 
certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; 
and they asked him. (Luke 20:27.) 

j. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither 
angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both. (Acts 23:8.) Now "if 
Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among 
you that there is no resurrection of the dead? (I Cor. 15:12.) 

k. If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no 
child, the wife cf the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: 
her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, 
and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. (Dt. 25:5.) 

1. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, 
some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 
(Dan. 12:2.) 

m. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) 
before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and 
calleth those things which be not as though they were. (Rom. 4:17.) 
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore 
God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for 
them a city. (Heb. 11:6.) 

n. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; 
it is raised in incorruption (42). And as we have borne the image of 
the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (49). In a 
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet 
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be 
changed. (I Cor. 15:42, 49, 52.) Beloved, now are we the sons of God; 
and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he 
shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (I 
Jno. 3:2.) 

o. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, 
tempting him, and saying. (Mat. 22:35.) And, behold, a certain lawyer 
stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit 
eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest 
thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with 
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with 
all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou 
hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. (Luke 10:25-28.) But 
they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the 
resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. 
(Luke 20:35.) 



p. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children 
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the 
Lord. (Lev. 19:18.) If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, 
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well. (Js. 2:8.) 

q. Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the 
Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is 
none else. (Dt. 4:39.) That they may know from the rising of the sun, 
and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am the Lord, and 
there is none else. (Is. 45:6.) Remember the former things of old: for 
I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. 
(Is. 46:9.) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, 
and in you all. (Eph. 4:6.) 

r. And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offer- 
ings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey 
is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. (I Sam. 
15:22.) For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of 
God more than burnt offerings. (Hos. 6:6.) 

s. The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my 
tongue. (II Sam. 23:2.) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction 
in righteousness. (II Tim. 3:16.) For the prophecy came not in old 
time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved 
by the Holy Ghost. (II Pet. 1:21.) 

t. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I 
make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) For he must reign, till 
he hath put all enemies under his feet. (I Cor. 15:25.) 

u. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of 
the seed of David according to the flesh. (Rom. 1:3.) I Jesus have sent 
mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the 
root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (Rev. 
22:16.) 

v. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for ye devour 
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye 
shall receive the greater damnation. (Mat. 23:14.) 

w. For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to 
that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. (II Cor. 8:12.) 

x. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have 
need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth 
the love of God in him? (I Jno. 3:17.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his dis- 
ciples came to him, for to show him the buildings of the temple. (Mat. 
24:1.)

2 And Je'sus answering said unto him, Seest 
thou these great buildings? b there shall not be 
left one stone upon another, that shall not be 
thrown down. 

3 And as he sat upon the mount of 61'ive§ 
over against the temple, Peter and Jame§ and 
John and An'drew asked him privately, 

4 c Tell us, when shall these things be? and 
what shall be the sign when all these things 
shall be fulfilled? 

5 3 And Je'§us answering them began to. say, 
d Take heed lest any man deceive you: 

6 For many shall come in my name, saying, 
I am ''Christ; and shall deceive many. 

7 And when ye shall hear of wars and 
"rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such 
things must needs be; but the e end shall not 
be yet. 

8 For nation shall rise against nation, and 
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be 
"earthquakes in divers places, and there shall 
be 'famines and troubles: these are the begin- 
nings of ^sorrows. 

9 % But Hake heed to yourselves: for they_ 
shall deliver you up to councils; and in the 
synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall 
be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, 
for a testimony against them. 

10 And othe gospel must first be published 
among all nations. 

11 h But when they shall lead you, and de- 
liver you up, take no thought beforehand what 
ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but 
whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, 
that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but 
the Ho'ly Ghost. 

12 Now Hhe brother shall betray the brother 
to death, and the father the son; and children 
shall rise up against their parents, and shall 
cause them to be put to death. 

13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my 
name's sake: but ihe that shall endure unto 
the end, the same shall be saved. 

14 \ But when ye shall see the abomination 
of desolation, k spoken of by Dan'iel the prophet, 
standing where it ought not, (let him that 
readeth understand,) then l let them that be in 
Ju-dse'a flee to the mountains: 

15 And let him that is on the house top not 
go down into the house, neither enter therein, 
to take any thing out of his house:

16 And let him that is in the field not turn 
back again for to take up his garment. 

17 But m woe to them that are with child, and 
to them that give suck in those days! 

18 And pray ye that your flight be not in 
the winter. 

19 For n in those days shall be affliction, 
such as was not from the begimiing of the crea- 
tion which God created unto this time, neither 
shall be. 

20 And except that the Lord had shortened 
those days, no flesh should be saved: but for 
the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath 
shortened the days. 

21 And then if any man shall say to you, 
Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe 
him not: 

22 For false Christs and false prophets shall 
rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to se- 
duce, if "it were possible, even the elect. 

23 But Ptake ye heed: behold, I have fore- 
told you all things. 

24 % But iin w those days, after that tribula- 
tion, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon 
shall not give her light, 

25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and 
the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 

26 And 'then shall they "see the Son of man 
coming in the clouds with great power and 
glory. 

27 And then shall he send his angels, and 
shall gather together his elect from the four 
winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to 
the uttermost part of heaven. 

28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When 
her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth 
leaves, ye know that summer is near: 

29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see 
these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, 
even at the doors. 

30 Verily I say unto you, that this genera- 
tion shall not pass, till all these things be done. 

31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but 
my words shall not pass away. 

32 H "But of that day and that hour knoweth 
no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, 
neither the Son, but the Father. 

33 s Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye 
know not when the time is. 



b. And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children with- 
in thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; be- 
cause thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (Luke 19:44.) 

c. And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall, these things 
be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 
(Luke 21:7.) 

d. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Let not your 
prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, 
neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. (Jer. 
29:8.) Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these 
things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 
(Eph. 5:6.) 

e. For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; 
yet will I not make a full end. (Jer. 4:27.) Go ye up upon her walls, 
and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for 
they are not the Lord's. (Jer. 5:10.) 

f. But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to the councils, 
and they will scourge you in their synagogues. (Mat. 10:17.) Fear none 
of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast 
some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have trib- 
ulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a 
crown of life. (Rev. 2:10.) 

g. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the 
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 
(Mat. 24:14.) But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound 
went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 
(Rom. 10:18.) 

h. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magis- 
trates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall 
answer, or what ye shall say. For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in 
the same hour what ye ought to say. (Luke 12:11, 12.) Settle it there- 
fore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I 
will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not 
be able to gainsay nor resist. (Luke 21:14, 15.) 

i. For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against 
her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's 
enemies are the men of his own house. (Mic. 7:6.) And then shall many 
be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 
(Mat. 24:10.) 

j. Blessed is he that waiteth. and cometh to the thousand three hun- 
dred and five and thirty days. (Dan. 12:12.) For we are made partakers 



of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the 
end. (Heb. 3:14.) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit 
saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of 
the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God (7). Fear 
none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall 
cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have 
tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a 
crown of life. (Rev. 2:7, 10.) 

k. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and 
in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation 
to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it 
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be 
poured upon the desolate. (Dan. 9:27.) 

1. Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and 
let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them 
that are in the countries enter thereinto. (Luke 21:21.) 

m. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, 
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps 
which never' gave suck. (Luke 23:29.) 

n. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which 
standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of 
trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same 
time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that 
shall be found written in the book. (Dan. 12:1.) 

0. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect. (Rom. 
8:33.) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation 
ready to be revealed in the last time. (I Pet. 1:5.) 

p. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, be- 
ware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from 
your own stedfastness. (II Pet. 3:17.) 

q. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a daj- 
.of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day 
of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against 
the fenced cities, and against the high towers. (Zeph. 1:15, 16.) 

r. I saw in the night visions, and, hehold, one like the Son of man 
came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and 
they brought him near before him. (Dan. 7:13.) For the Son of man 
shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall 
reward every man according to his works. (Mat. 16:27.) 

s. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth 
come. (Mat. 24:42.) Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man 
cometh at an hour when ye think not. (Luke 12:40.)

34 i For the Son of man is as a man taking a 
far journey, who left his house, and gave au- 
thority to his servants, and to every man his 
work, and commanded the porter to watch. 

35 Watch "ye therefore: for ye know not 
when the master of the house cometh, at even,

2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest 
there be an uproar of the people. 

3 *~ = And "being in Beth'a-ny in the house of 
Si'mon the leper, as he sat at meat, there 
came a woman having an alabaster box of 
ointment of spikenard very precious; and she 
brake the box, and poured it on his head. 

4 And there' were 'some that had indigna- 
tion within themselves, and said, Why was 
this waste of the ointment made? 

5 For it might have been -sold for more than 
three "hundred 6 pence, and have been given to 
the poor. And they murmured against her. 

6 And Je'sus said, Let her alone; why trou- 
ble ye her? she hath turought a good toork on 
me. 

7 For ye have the poor with you always, and 
whensoever ye ivill ye may do them good: but 
■me ye have not always. 

8 She hath done what she could: she is come 
aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 

9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this 
gospel shall be preached throughout the whole 
world, this also that she hath done shall be 
spoken of for a memorial of her. 

10 r And Ju'das Is-car'i-ot, one of the twelve, 
went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto 
them. 

11 And when they heard it, they were glad, 
and promised to give c him money. And he 
sought how he might conveniently betray him.

said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and 
prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? 

13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 
and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and 
there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher 
of water: follow him. 

14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye 
to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, 
Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat 
the e passover with my disciples? 

15. And he will shew you a large upper room 
furnished and prepared: there make ready for 
us. 

16 And his disciples went forth, and came 
into the city, and found as he had said unto 
them : and they made ready the passover. 

17 T And fin the evening he cometh with the 
twelve. 

18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, 
Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth 
with me shall betray me. 

19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to 
say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another 
said, Is it I? 

20 And he answered and said unto them, It is 
one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the 
dish. 

21 oThe Son of man indeed goeth, as it is 
written of him: but tvoe to that man by whom 
the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for 
that man if he had never been born. 

22 r "And 7i as they did eat, Je'sus took bread, 
and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and 
said, Take, eat: this is my body. 

23 And he took the cup, and when he had 
given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all 
drank of it. 

24 And he said unto them, This 'is my blood 
of the new testament, which is shed for many. 

25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more 
of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I 
drink it new in the kingdom of God. 

26 r And when they had sung an hymn, 
they went out into the mount of 61'ives. 

27 And Je'sus saith unto them, All ye shall 
be offended because of me this night: for it is 
written, >I will smite the shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered. 

28 But after that I am risen, I ivill go be- 
fore you into Gal'i-lee. 

29 But 7: Pe'ter said unto him, Although all 
shall be offended, yet will not I. 

30 And Je'sus saith unto him, Verily I say 
unto thee, That this day, even in this night, 
before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me 
thrice. 

31 But he spake the more vehemently. If I 



t. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath 
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? (Mat. 
24:45.) 

u. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth 
come (42). Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think 
not the Son of man cometh. (Mat. 24:42, 44.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper. 
(Mat. 26:6.) See Jno. 12:1-8. 

b. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow- 
servants, which owed him an hundred pence; and he laid hands on him, 
and took him bv the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. (Mat. 
18:28.) 

c. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and 
if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 
(Zech. 11:12.) For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while 
some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced them- 
selves through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) 

d. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must 
be killed. (Luke 22:7.) Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye 
may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our pass- 
over is sacrificed for us. (I Cor. 5:7.) Thou mayest not sacrifice the 
passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thv God giveth thee. 
(Dt. II 

e. And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same 
month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill 
it in the evening. (Ex. 12:6.) In the fourteenth day of the first month 
at even is the Lord's passover. (Lev. 23:5.) 

f. Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. (Mar. 
26:20.) And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve 
apostles with him (14). But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth 
me is with me on the table. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was 
determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! And they 



began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should 
do this thing. (Luke 22:14, 21-23.) I speak not of you all: I know 
whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled. He that 
eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. (Jno. 13:18.) 

g. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but 
not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall de- 
stroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be with a 
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:26.) Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, and against the man 
that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the Shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. 
(Zech. 13:7.) And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: 
but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! (Luke 22:22.) 

h. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and 
brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said. Take, eat; this is my 
body. (Mat. 26:26.) For I have received of the Lord that which also I 
delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was 
betrayed took bread. (I Cor. 11:23.) 

i. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal 
Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from 
dead works to serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14.) 

}. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah he cut off, but 
not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall de- 
stroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a 
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:26.) Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, and against the man that 
is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the Shepherd, and the sheep 
shall be scattered; and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. (Zech. 
13:7.) 

k. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be of- 
fended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto 
him. Verily I say unto thee. That this night, before the cock crow, 
thou shalt deny me thrice. (Mat. 26:33, 34.)

should die with thee, I will not deny thee in 
any wise. Likewise also said they all. 

32 9 And 'they came to a place which was 
named Geth-sem'a-ne : and he saith to his disci- 
ples, Sit ye here, while I '"shall pray. 

33 And he taketh with him Pe'ter and Jame§ 
and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to 
be very heavy; 

34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceed- 
ing sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and 
watch. 

35 And he went forward a little, and fell on 
the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, 
the hour might pass from him. 

36 And he said, "Ab'bd, Father, all things 
are possible unto thee; take away this cup 
from me: "nevertheless not what I will, but 
what thou wilt. 

37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, 
and saith unto Pe'ter, Si'mon, sleepest thou? 
couldest not thou watch one hour? 

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into 
temptation. PThe spirit truly is ready, but the 
flesh is weak. 

39 And again he went away, and prayed, and 
spake the same words. 

40 And when he returned, he found them 
asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) 
neither wist they what to answer him. 

41 And he cometh the third time, and saith 
unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: 
it is ejiough, ( tfhe hour is come; behold, the So>i 
of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 

42 'Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betray eth 
me is at hand. 

43 l lu And ''immediately, while he yet spake, 
cometh Ju'das, one of the twelve, and with him 
a great multitude with swords and staves, from 
the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 

44 And he that betrayed him had given them 
a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that 
same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 

45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth 
straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; 
and kissed him.

took him. 

47 And one of them that stood by drew a 
sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, 
and cut off his ear.

Are ye come out, as against a thief, with 
swords and with staves to take me?

must be fulfilled. 

50 And they all forsook him, and fled. 

51 And there followed him a certain young 
"man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked 
body; and the young men laid hold on him: 

. 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from 
them naked. 

53 1f 12 And "they led Je'sus away to the high 
priest: and with him were assembled all the 
chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 

54 And Pe'ter followed him afar off, even 
into the palace. of the high priest: and he sat 
with the servants, and warmed himself at the 
fire. 

55 "And the chief priests and all the council 
sought for witness against Je'sus to put him to 
death; and found none. 

56 For many bare false witness against him, 
but their witness agreed not together. 

57 And there arose certain, and bare false 
witness against him, saying, 

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this 
temple that is made with hands, and within 
three days I will build another made without 
hands. 

59 But neither so did their witness agree 
together. 

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, 
and asked Je'sus, saying, Answerest thou noth- 
ing? what is it which these witness against 
thee? 

61 But v he held his peace, and answered 
nothing. 1C Again the high priest asked him, and 
said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of 
the Blessed? 

62 And Je'sus said, / am: and ye shall see 
the Son of man sitting on the right hand of 
power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and 
saith, What need we any further witnesses? 

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy : what think 
ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty 
of death. 

65 And some began to ^spit on him, and to 
cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say 
unto him, Prophesy : and the servants did strike 
him with the palms of their hands. 

66 If "And as "Pe'ter was beneath in the pal- 
ace, there cometh one of the maids of the high 
priest : 

67 And when she saw Pe'ter warming him- 
self, she looked upon him, and said, And thou 
also wast with Je'sus of Naz'a-reth. 



1. Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, 
and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 
(Mat. 26:36.) And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the 
mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. (Luke 22:39.) 
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples 
over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, 
and his disciples. (Jno. 18:1.) 

m. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a Priest for ever, 
after the order of Melchisedec. (Heb. 5:6.) 

n. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his 
Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Gal. 4:6.) 

0. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my 
judgment is just: because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the 
Father which hath sent me. (Jno. 5:30.) For I came down from 
heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. (Jno. 
6:38.) 

p. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law 
of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is 
in my members. (Rom. 7:23.) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 
and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the 
other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. (Gal. 5:17.) 

q. Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his 
hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, 
having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the 
end. (Jno. 13:1.) 

r. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. 
(Mat. 26:46.) When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with 
his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which 
he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, 
knew the place, for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. 
(Jno. 18:1, 2.) 

s. And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and 
with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief 
priests and elders of the people. (Mat. 26:47.) Judas then, having re- 
ceived a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, 
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. (Jno. 18:3.) 

t. I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of 



the people. (Ps 22:6.) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he 
opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as 
a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 
(Is. 53:7.) And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake 
unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled 
which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the 
Psalms, concerning me. (Luke 24:44.) 

u. And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas 
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. (Mat. 
26:57.) Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the 
high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. (Luke 22:54.) And 
led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, 
which was the high priest that same year. (Jno. 18:13.) 

v. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) Who 
when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened 
not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. (I Pet. 
2:23.) 

w. But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and 
said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether 
thou be the Christ, the Son of God. (Mat. 26:63.) 

x. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (Is. 
50:6.) 

y. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and 
were set down together. Peter sat down among them. (Luke 22:55.) 
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, say- 
ing, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them 
all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. And when he was gone out 
into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were 
there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. And again he 
denied with an oath, I do not know the man. And after a while came 
unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one 
of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. Then began he to curse and 
to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither 
understand I what thou sayest. And he went 
out into the porch; and the cock crew. 

69 And -a maid saw him again, and began to 
say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 

70 And he denied it again. ea And a little 
after, they that stood by said again to Pe'ter, 
Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a 
Gal-i-las'an, and thy speech agreeth thereto. 

71 But he began to curse and to swear, say- 
ing, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 

72 And the second time the cock crew. And 
Pe'ter called to mind the word that Je'sus said 
unto him, Before the cock crow twice thou shalt 
deny me thrice. Sb And when he thought there- 
on, he wept. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 Jesus accused before Pilate. 15 The mur- 
derer Barabbas is loosed, and Jesus deliv- 
ered up to be crucified. 17 He is crowned 
with thorns, 19 and mocked: 21 fainteth 
in bearing his cross: 27 hangeth between 
two thieves: 43 and is buried. 

1 ^^Jid a straightway in the morning the chief 
priests held a consultation with the elders and 
scribes and the whole council, and bound Je'- 
sus, and carried him away, and delivered him 
to Pi'late. 

2 And 6 Pi'late asked him, Art thou the King 
of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, 
c Thou sayest it. 

3 And the chief priests accused him of many 
things: ^ut he answered nothing. 

4 And ^Pi'late asked him again, saying, An- 
swerest thou nothing? behold how many things 
they witness against thee. 

5 But f Je'sus yet answered nothing; so that 
Pi'late marvelled. 

6 Now ^at that feast he ^released unto them 
one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 

7 And there was one named Ba-rab'bas, 
which lay bound with them that had made in- 
surrection with him, who had committed mur- 
der in the insurrection. 

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to 
desire him to do as he had ever done unto 
them. 

9 But Pi'late answered them, saying, Will 
ye that I release unto you the King of the 
Jews? 

10" For he knew that the chief priests had 
delivered him ''for envy. 

11 But 'the chief priests moved the people, 
that he should rather release Ba-rab'bas unto 
them. 



Ch. 15. A. B. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-20 is the account of 
Jesus' second appearance before Pi- 
late, Pilate's effort to release him, 
the people's clamor for his death, 
after which he was cruelly treated 
and led away to be crucified. Par- 
allel to Mat. 27:1. 2. 11-31, and Luke 
23:1-6, 13-25 and John 1S:2S-40;19: 
1-16. 



2. A custom which appears to 
have been established and practiced 
only by Pilate himself, as there is 
no account of it in classical or Jew- 
ish history. 



3. In ts. 21-37 is an account of 
the crucifixion and death of Christ, 
parallel to Mat. 27:32-50 and Luke 
23:26^6 and John 19:17-30. 



_ 4. Cyrene, a city in northern Af- 
rica, where a Jewish colony was lo- 
cated. They maintained a regular 
synagogue and kept in close touch 
with Jerusalem. 



12 And Pi'late answered and said again 
unto them, What will ye then that I shall do 
unto him whom ye call J the King of the Jews? 

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 

14 Then Pi'late said unto them, Why, what 
evil hath he done? And they cried out the 
more exceedingly, Crucify him. 

15 f And so Pi'late, willing to content the 
people, released Ba-rab'bas unto them, and de- 
livered Je'sus, when he had scourged him, to 
be crucified. 

16 And the soldiers led him away into the 
hall, called Pr£e-to'ri-um ; and they call to- 
gether the whole band. 

17 And they clothed him with purple, and 
platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his 
head, 

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of 
the Jews ! 

19 And they smote him on the head with a 
reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their 
knees worshipped him. 

20 And when they had mocked him, they 
took off the purple from him, and put his own 
clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 

21 °And they compel one 4 Si'mon a Qy-re'ni- 
an, who passed by, coming out of the country, 
the father of Al-ex-an'der and Ru'fus, to bear 
his cross. 

22 And ''they bring him unto the place Gol'- 
go-tha, which is, being interpreted, The place 
of a skull. 

23 And they gave him to drink wine min- 
gled with myrrh : but he received it not. 

24 And when they had crucified him, they 
parted his garments, casting lots upon them, 
what every man should take. 

25 And 7 it was the third hour, and they 
crucified him. 

26 And the superscription of his accusation 
was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; 
the one on his right hand, and the other on his 
left. 

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which 
saith, '"And he was numbered with the trans- 
gressors. 

29 And "they that passed by railed on him, 
wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that 
destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three 
days, 

30 Save thyself, and come down from the 
cross. 

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking 



the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept 
bitterly. (Mat. 26:69-75.) 

z. And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw 
him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with 
Jesus of Nazareth. (Mat. 26:71.) And after a little while, another saw 
him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 
(Luke 22:58.) 

aa. And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said 
to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth 
thee. (Mat. 26:73.) And about the space of one hour after, another 
confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him; 
for he is a Galilean. (Luke 22:59.) 

bb. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the in- 
habitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and 
they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn 
for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for 
him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zech. 12:10.) For 
godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: 
but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (II Cor. 7:10.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take coun- 
sel together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying, (Ps. 
2:2.) When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of 
the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. (Mat. 27:1.) 
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. (Luke 
23:1.) 

b. And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked 
him, saying. Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, 
Thou sayest. (Mat. 27:11.) 

c. I give thee charge in the sight of God. who quickeneth all things, 
and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good con- 
fession. (I Tim. 6:13.) 

d. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, 
he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth right- 
eously. (I Pet. 2:^::. i 

e. Then said Pilate ur.to him, Hearest thou not how many things 
they witness against thee? (Mat. 27:13.) 



f. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) 

g. Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the 
people a prisoner, whom they would. (Mat. 27:15.) (For of necessity he 
must release one unto them at the feast.) (Luke 23:17.) 

h. And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: 
but God was with him. (Acts 7:9.) Not as Cain, who was of that wicked 
one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? because his own 
works were evil, and his brother's righteous. (I Jno. 3:12.) 

i. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that 
they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. (Mat. 27:20.) But ye 
denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted 
unto you. (Acts 3:14.) 

j. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto 
David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and 
shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall 
be saved, and Israel shall dwell safelv: and this is his name whereby 
he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jer. 23:5. 6.) 

k. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place 
of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha. (Jno. 19:17.) Where- 
fore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, 
suffered without the gate. (Heb. 13:12.) 

1. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land 
unto the ninth hour. (Mat. 27:45.) And it was the preparation of the 
passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold 
your King! (Jno. 19:14.) 

m. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he 
shall divide the spoil with the strong: because he hath poured out his 
soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he 
bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. 
(Is. 53:12.) For I say unto you. that this that is written must yet be 
accomplished in me. And he was reckoned among the transgressors: 
for the things concerning me have an end. (Luke 22:37.) 

n. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip. 
they shake the head, saying. He trusted on the Lord that he would de- 
liver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. (Ps. 22:7, 8.)

said among themselves with the scribes, He 
saved others; himself he cannot save. 

32 Let Christ the King of Is'ra-el descend 
now from the cross, that we may see and be- 
lieve. "And they that were crucified with him 
reviled him. 

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there 
was darkness over the whole land until the 
ninth hour. 

34 And at the ninth hour Je'§us cried with a 
loud voice, saying, E-lo'i, E-lo'i, lama sa-bach- 
thani? which is, being interpreted, My God, 
my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 

35 And some of them that stood by, when 
they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth E-li'as. 

36 And ^one ran and filled a spunge full of 
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him 
to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether 
E-li'as will come to take him down. 

37 And *2Je'sus cried with a loud voice, and 
gave up the ghost. 

38 5 And the r vail of the temple was rent in 
twain from the top to the bottom. 

39 11 And s when the centurion, which stood 
over against him, saw that he so cried out, and 
gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was 
the Son of God. 

40 There were also women looking on afar 
off: among whom was Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne, and 
Mary the mother of Jame§ the less and of J6'- 
se§, and Sa-lo'me; 

41 (Who also, when he was in Gal'i-lee, <foL 
lowed him, and ministered unto him;) and 
many other women which came up with him 
unto Je-ru'sa-lem. 

42 1f And "now when the even was come, 
because it was the preparation, that is, the day 
before the sabbath, 

43 J6'§eph of Ar-i-ma-thse'a, an honourable 
counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom 
of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, 
and craved the body of Je'sus. 

44 And Pi'late marvelled if he were already 
dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he 
asked him whether he had been any while dead. 

45 And when he "knew it of the centurion, he 
gave the body to Joseph. 

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him 
down, and wrapped him in the linen, and 
laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of 
a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the 
sepulchre. 

47 And Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne and Ma'ry the 
mother of Jo'se§ beheld where he was laid.

1 *And "When the sabbath was past, Ma'ry 
Mag-da-le'ne, and Ma'ry the mother of Jame§, 
and -Sa-lo'me, %ad bought sweet spices, that 
they might come and anoint him. 

2 And c very early in the morning the 3 first 
day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre 
at the rising of the sun. 

3 And they said among themselves, Who 
shall roll us away the stone from the door of 
the sepulchre? 

4 And when they looked, they saw that the 
stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 

5 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw 
a young man sitting on the right side, clothed 
in a long white garment; and they were af- 
frighted. 

6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted : 
Ye seek Je'sus of Naz'a-reth, which was cruci- 
fied: he is risen; he is not here: behold the 
place where they laid him. 

7 But go your way, tell his disciples and 
Pe'ter that he goeth before you into Gal'i-lee: 
there shall ye see him, l 'as he said unto you. 

8 And they went out quickly, and fled from 
the sepulchre; for they trembled and were 
amazed: neither said they any thing to any 
man; for they were afraid. 

9 If 4 Now . then Je'§us was risen early the 
first day of the week, he appeared first to 
Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne, out of whom he had cast 
seven devils. 

10 And she went and told 5 them that had 
been with him, as they mourned and wept. 

11 And they, when they had heard that he 
was alive, and had been seen of her, believed 
not. 

12 If After "that he appeared in another form 
unto two of them, as they walked, and went 
into the country. 

13 And they went and told it unto the resi- 
due: neither believed they them. 

14 If Afterward he appeared unto the T eleven 
as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with 
their unbelief and hardness of heart, because 
they believed not them which had seen him 
after he was risen. 

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the 
ivorld, and preach the gospel to every creature. 

16 He Hhat believeth and is ^baptized shall 
be saved; but he that believeth not shall be 
damned. 

17 And these signs shall follow them thai 
believe; oln my name shall they cast out 
devils; Hhey shall speak with new tongues; 



o. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in 
his teeth. (Mat. 27:44.) And one of the malefactors which were hanged 
railed on him, saying, If thou he Christ, save thyself and us. (Luke 
23:39.) For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners 
against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. (Heb. 12:3.), 

p. And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled 
it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. (Mat. 
27:48.) Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a 
sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 
(Jno. 19:29.) 

q. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into 
thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the 
ghost. (Luke 23:46.) 

r. And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
fine twined linen, of cunning work: with cherubim shall it be made. 
(Ex. 26:31.) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath 
broken down the middle wall of partition between us. (Eph. 2:14.) 

s. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him watching 
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared 
greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. (Mat. 27:54.) 

t. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. (Luke 2:3.) 

u. And after this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, 
but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take 
away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, 
and took the body of Jesus. (Jno. 19:38.) When the even was come, 
there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself 
was Jesus' disciple. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph 
had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it 
in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled 
a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. And there 
was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the 
sepulchre. (Mat. 27:57-61.) And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, 



a counsellor; and he: was a good man, and a just: (The same had not 
consented to the counsel and deed of them:) he was of Arimathea, a 
city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 
This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. (Luke 
23:50-52.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first 
day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the 
sepulchre. (Mat. 28:1.) 

b. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and 
rested the sabbath day, according to the commandment. (Luke 23:56.) 

c. The first day of the week cometh Mary. Magdalene early, when 
it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from 
the sepulchre. (Jno. 20:1.) 

d. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 
(Luke 24:3.) 

e. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee 
(Mat. 26:32.) 

f. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that be- 
lieveth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the 
name of the only begotten Son of God (18). He that believeth on the 
Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see 
life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (Jno. 3:18, 36.) 

g. And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the 
devils are subject unto us through thy name. (Luke 10:17.) 

h. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak 
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4.) For 
they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered 
Peter. (Acts 10:46.) And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the 
Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 
(Acts 19:6.) To another the working of miracles: to another prophecy; 
to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to 
another the interpretation of tongues (10). And God hath set some in the

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO 

SAINT LUKE 



NOTE. — The writer of this book of the Gospel was Luke, an abbreviated form of Lucahus or Luchilius, a physician by profession and a Gentile by 
race. Unless Job be accepted as a Gentile book, Luke is the only Gentile permitted to contribute to the Scriptures- He wrote especially to and for 
the Gentiles, which is proven by the explanation he gives of the many Jewish terms which are not supposed to be understood by the Gentiles. If his 
mission was to write the Gospel (that is. an account of the deeds, sayings, death and resurrection of Christ) particularly for the Gentiles, it affords 
proof that his selection for the Apostolic College was because of being a Gentile, as Christ car~e to declare unto the world the principles of his kingdom 
and the terms of salvation, not to the Jews alone, but to the Gentiles as well — to the whole human race. It is interesting to observe that whenever Mat. 
and Mark present a passage themselves agreeing, Luke also presents it, i. e., in every instance when Mat. and Mark agree upon anything, Luke coincides 
with them. It is a characteristic of Luke that whenever any point of our Lord's teachings might refer to the Jews and therefore not be of interest 
to the Gentiles, he would either pass over it altogether or present it in a very abbreviated form. For example, Luke omits that part of the Sermon on the 
Mount which concerns the relation of the new and the old law. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The preface of Luke. 5 The conception of 
John the Baptist, 26 and of Christ. 39 The 
prophecy of Elisabeth,- and of Mary, con- 
cerning Christ. 57. The nativity and circum- 
cision of John. 67 The prophecy of Zach- 
arias, both of Christ, 76 and of John. 

1 "Forasmuch as many have taken in hand 
to set forth 2 in order a declaration of "those 
things which are 6 most surely Relieved among 
us, 

2 Even as they delivered them unto us, 
c which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, 
and ministers of the ''word; 

3 <It seemed good to me also, having had 
perfect understanding of all things from the 
very first, to write unto thee in order, most ex- 
cellent 5 The-6ph'i-lus, 

4 That fthou mightest know the certainty of 
those things, wherein thou #hast been in- 
structed. 

5 If There was in the days of Her'od, the 
king of Ju-dse'a, a certain priest named Zach- 
a-ri'as, of the course of T A-bi'a: and his wife 
"was of the daughters of Aar'on, and her name 
was E-lis'a-beth. 

6 And they were both ''righteous before God, 
walking in all the commandments and ordi- 
nances of the Lord "blameless. 

7 And they had no child, because that E-lTs'- 
a-beth was barren, and they both were now 
well stricken in years. 

8 And it came to pass, that while he exe- 
cuted the priest's office before God 'in the order 
of his course, 

9 According to the custom of the priest's 
office, his lot was to •'burn incense when he 
went into the temple of the Lord. 

10 And the whole multitude of the people 
were praying without at the time of incense.

egar of wine, or vinegar of strong 
drink, neither shall he drink any 
liquor of grapes or eat moist grapes 
or dried; all the days of his separa- 
tion shall he eat nothing that is 
made of the vine tree, from the ker- 
nels even to the husk." 



11 And there appeared unto him an angel 
in of the Lord standing on the right side of the 
altar of incense. 

12 And when Zach-a-ri'as saw him, & he was 
troubled, and fear fell upon him. 

13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, 
Zach-a-ri'as: 'for thy prayer is heard; and 
thy wife E-lIs/a-beth shall bear thee a son, 
and thou shalt call his name "John. 

14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; 
and many shall rejoice at his birth. 

15 For he shall be great in the sight of the 
Lord, and '"shall drink neither wine nor 
"strong drink; and he shall be filled with the 
Ho'ly Ghost, "even from his mother's womb. 

16 And "many of the children of Is'ra-el 
shall he turn to the Lord their God. 

17 And he shall go before him in the spirit 
and power of E-li'as, to turn the hearts of the 
fathers to the children, and the disobedient to 
the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people 
prepared for the 2>Lord. 

18 And Zach-a-ri'as said unto the angel, 
Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old 
man, and my wife well stricken in years. 

19 And the angel answering said unto him, 
I am Ga'bri-el, that stand in the presence of 
God; and am sent to speak unto thee and to 
shew thee these glad tidings. 

20 And, behold, athou shalt be dumb, and 
not able to speak, until the day that these 
things shall be performed, because thou be- 
lievest not my words, which shall be fulfilled 
in their season, 

21 And the people waited for Zach-a-ri'as, 
and marvelled that he tarried so long in the 
temple. 

22 And when he came out, he could not 
speak unto them: and they perceived that he 
had seen a vision in the temple: for he beck- 
oned unto them, and remained speechless.

b. And being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was

persuaded in his own mind. (Rom. 14:5.) Epaphras, who is one of 
you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you 
in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of 
God. (Col. 4:12.) And we desire that every one of you do show the 
same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end. (Heb. 6:11.)

and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming 
the word with signs following, Amen. (Mk. 16:20.) Therefore they that 
were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. (Acts 8:4.) 
And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into 
Attalia. (Acts 14:25.) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, 
in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched 
the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Acts 17:11.) 

e. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think 
also that I have the Spirit of God. (I Cor. 7:40.)

Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his 
name. (Jno. 20:31.) 

g. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being 
fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the 
Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. (Acts 18:25.) And knowest 
his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being in- 
structed out of the law. (Rom. 2:18.) Yet in the church I had rather 
speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might 
teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. (I 
Cor. 14:19.) Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him 
that teacheth in all good things. (Gal. 6:6.)

23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the 
days of his ministration were accomplished, 
he departed to his own house. 

24 And after those days his wife E-lis'a-beth 
conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 

25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the 
days wherein he looked on me, to take away 
my reproach among men. 

26 '"And in the sixth 'Tnonth the angel Ga- 
bri-el was sent from God unto a city of Gal'- 
i-lee, named Naz'a-reth, 

27 To a 'virgin espoused to a man whose 
name was Jo'seph, of the house of Da'vid; and 
the virgin's name was Ma'ry. 

28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, 
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord 
is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled 
at his saying, and cast in her mind what man- 
ner of salutation this should be. 

30 And the angel said unto her, 15 Fear not, 
Mary : for thou hast found favour with God. 

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy 
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his 
name JE'SUS. 

. 32 He shall -be great, and shall be called the 
Son of the Highest: and f the Lord God shall 
give unto him the throne ,s of his father Da'vid: 

33 And "he shall reign over the house of Ja'- 
cob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall 
be no end. 

34 Then said Ma'ry unto the angel, How 
shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 

35 And the angel answered and said unto 
her, The H5'ly Ghost shall come upon thee, and 
the power of the Highest shall overshadow 
thee: therefore also that holy thing which 
shall be born of thee shall be called r the Son 
of God. 

36 And, behold, thy cousin E-lis'a-beth, she 
hath also conceived a son in her old age: and 
this is the sixth month with her, who was called 
barren. 

37 For with God nothing shall be impossible. 

38 And Ma'ry said, Behold the handmaid of 
the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. 
And the angel departed from her. 

39 17 And Ma'ry arose in those days, and went 
into the hill country with haste, ir into a city of 
Jti'da ; 

40 And entered into the house of Zach-a- 
ri'as, and saluted E-lis'a-beth. 

41 And it came to pass, that, when E-lis'a- 
beth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe 
leaped in her womb; and E-lis'a-beth was 
filled with the Holy Ghost: 

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and 
said, Blessed art thou among women, and 
blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salu- 
tation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped 
in my womb for joy. 

45 And blessed is she that believed: for 
there shall be a performance of those things 
which were told her from the Lord. 

46 'And Ma'ry said, My soul doth magnify 
the Lord, 

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my 
Saviour. 

48 For he hath regarded the low estate of 
his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth 
all generations shall call me blessed. 

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me 
great things; and holy is his name. 

50 And 'his mercy is on them that fear him 
from generation to generation. 

51 ^'He hath shewed strength with his arm; 
c he hath scattered the proud in the imagina- 
tion of their hearts. 

52 He aQ hath put down the mighty from 
their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 

53 He &6 hath filled the hungry with good 
things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 

54 He hath holpen his servant Is'ra-el, cc in 
remembrance of his mercy; 

55 As- dd he spake to our fathers, to Abra- 
ham, and to his seed for ever. 

56 And Ma'ry abode with her about three 
months, and returned to her own house. 

57 ^Now E-lis'a-beth's full time came that 
she should be delivered; and she brought forth 
a son. 

58 And her neighbours and her cousins 
heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy 
upon her; and they rejoiced with her. 

59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth 
day they came to circumcise the child; and 
they called him Zach-a-ri'as, after the name of 
his father. 

60 And his mother answered and said, Not 
so; but he shall be called John. 

61 And they said unto her, There is none 
of thj T kindred that is called by this name. 

62 And they made signs to his father, how 
he would have him called. 

63 And he asked for a writing table, and 
wrote, saying, His name is John. And they 
marvelled all. 

64 And his mouth was opened immediately, 
and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and 
praised God. 

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round 
about them: and all these sayings were noised 
abroad throughout all the hill country of Ju- 
das'a.

man openeth. (Rev. 3:7.) 

u. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a 
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be 
left to" other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these 
kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan. 2:44.) And saviours shall

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, 
the days were accomplished that she should be 
delivered. 

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, 
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and 
laid him in a ^manger; because there was no 
room for them in the inn. 

8 'And there were in the same country shep- 
herds abiding in the field, keeping watch over 
their flock by night. 

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon 
them, and the glory of the Lord shone round 
about them: and they were sore afraid. 

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not:

joy, c which shall be to all people. 

11 For unto you is born this day in the city 
of Da'vid a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling 
clothes, lying in a manger.

a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, 
and saying, 

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on f earth 
peace, ''good will toward men.

gone away from them into heaven, the shep- 
herds said one to another, Let us now go even 
unto Beth'le-hem, and see this thing which is 
come to pass, which the Lord hath made known 
unto us.

Ma'ry, and J5'seph, and the babe lying in a 
manger. 

17 And when they had seen it, they made 
known abroad the saying which was told them 
concerning this child. 

18 And all they that heard it wondered at 
those things which were told them by the shep- 
herds. 

19 But Ma'ry kept all these things, and pon- 
dered them in her heart. 

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying 
and 'praising God for all the things that they 
had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

testimony of Christ. 20 Herod imprisoneth 
John. 21 Christ baptized, receiveth testi- 
mony from heaven. 23 The age, and gene- 
alogy of Christ from Joseph upwards. 
1 *Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of 



17:12.) And in the eight day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circum- 
cised. (Lev. 12:3.) 

h. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have con- 
ceived seed, and born a man-child: then she shall be unclean seven days; 
according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be 
unclean. (Lev. 12:2.) 

i. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. (Is. 40:1.) 
Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, which also waited for the 
kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the 
body of Jesus.. (Mk. 15:43.) 

j. What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he de- 
liver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. (Ps. 89:48.) By faith 
Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, 
because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this 
testimony, that he pleased God. (Heb. 11:5.) 

k. And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen 
thy face, because thou art yet alive. (Gen. 46:30.) For I am in a strait 
betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is 
far better. (Phil. 1:23.) 

1. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the 
nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our 
God. (Is. 52:10.) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is 
none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be 
saved. (Acts 4:12.) 

m. The people that walk in darkness have seen a great light: they 
that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the 
light shined. (Is. 9:2.) For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying. I 
have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for 
salvation unto the ends of the earth. (Acts 13:47.) 

n. For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, 
and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall 
be taken away before the king of Assyria. (Is. 8:4.) Who is wise, and 
he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? 
for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but 
the transgressors shall fall therein. (Hos. 14:9.) Wherefore? Because 
they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law: 
frtr they stumbled at that stumblingstone: As it is written, Behold, I 
lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever be- 
lieveth on him shall not be ashamed. (Rom. 9:32, 33.) But we preach 
Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks 
foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, 



Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (I Cor. 1:23, 24.) For 
we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and 
in them that perish. To the one we are the savor of death unto death; 
and to the other the savor of life unto life. And who is sufficient for 
these things? (II Cor. 2:15, 16.) 

o. As with a sword in my hones, mine enemies reproach me; while 
they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? (Ps. 42:10.) But they cried 
out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto 
them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have 
no king but Cesar. (Jno. 19:15.) 

p. Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day 
and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am 
accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:7.) Now she that is a widow indeed, and 
desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers 
night and day. (I Tim. 5:5.) 

q. Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, which also waited 
for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and 
craved the body of Jesus. (Mk. 15:43.) But we trusted that it had been 
he which should have redeemed Israel: and besides all this, today is 
the third day since these things were done. (Luke 24:21.) 

r. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and 
a Branch shall grow out of his roots. And the Spirit of the Lord shall 
rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of 
counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. 
(Is. 11:1, 2.) 

s. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testi- 
monies are my meditation. (Ps. 119:99.) And it came to pass, when 
Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doc- 
trine. (Mat. 7:28.) And the Jews marvelled, saying. How knoweth this 
man letters, having never learned? (15). The officers answered, Never 
man spake like this man. (Jno. 7:15, 46.) 

t. I delight to do thy will. O my God: yea, thy law is within my 
heart. (Ps. 40:8.) Jesus saith unto them. My meat is to do the will of 
him that sent me, and to finish his work. (Jno. 4:34.) I must work the 
works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no 
man can work. (Jno. 9:4.) 

u. But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, 
that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. 
(Luke 9:45.) And they understood none of these things: and this saying 
was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. 
(Luke 18:34.)

TI-be'ri-us Qce'§ar, Pon'ti-us Pilate being gov- 
ernor of Ju-dae'a, and Her'od being tetrarch of 
Gali-lee, and his brother Phil'ip tetrarch of 
I-tu-rse'a and of the region of Trach-o-ni'tis, 
and Ly-sa'nI-as the tetrarch of Ab-i-le'ne, 

2 An'nas and a Ca'ia-phas being the high 
priests, the word of God came unto John the 
son of Zach-a-ii'as in the wilderness. 

3 6 And he came into all the country about 
Jor'dan, preaching the baptism of repentance 
for the remission of sins; 

4 As it is written in the book of the words 
of E-§a'ias the prophet, saying, c The voice of 
one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 

5 Every valley shall be filled, and every 
mountain and hill shall be brought low; and 
the crooked shall be made straight, and the 
rough ways shall be made smooth; 

6 And •'all flesh shall see the salvation of 
God. 

7 Then said he to the multitude that came 
forth to be baptized of him, c O generation of 
vipers, who hath warn ; ^ou to flee from the 
wrath to come? 

8 Bring fforth thcr^ mz fruits worthy of 
repentance, and begin xiot to say within your- 
selves, We have A'bra-ham to our father: for 
I say unto you, That God is able of these 
stones to raise up children unto A'bra-ham. 

9 And now also the ax is laid unto the root 
of the trees: every tree therefore which bring- 
eth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and 
cast into the fire. 

10 : And the people asked him, saying, »What 
shall we do then? 

11 He answereth and saith unto them, ''He 
that hath two coats, let him impart to him 
that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him 
do likewise. 

12 Then 'came also publicans to be baptized, 
and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 

13 And he said unto them, -'Exact no more 
than that which is appointed you. 

14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of 
him, saying, And what shall we do? And he 
said unto them, Do violence to no man. neither 
'■'accuse any falsely; and be content with your 
wages. 

15 And as the people were in expectation, 
and all men mused in their hearts of John, 
whether he were the Christ, or not; 

16 John answered, saying unto them all, 'I 
indeed baptize you with water; but one might-

the manner in which John rebuked 
the sins of the time while pre- 
paring the way for the coming Mes- 
siah. Recorded only in Luke. 



3. In vs. 10. 2n is an account of 
the death of John the Baptist. 



4. In vs. 21-23 is recorded the 
baptism of Jesus; parallel to Mat. 
3:13-17 and Mark 1:0-11. The ac- 
count of Luke, however, is the most 
concise of the three. 



5. In vs. 22-3S is an account of 
the genealogy of Jesus; parallel to 
Mat. 1:1-17. 



ier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes 
I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize 
you with the Ho'ly Ghost and with fire: 

17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will 
throughly purge his floor, and will gather the 
wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will 
burn with fire unquenchable. 

18 And many other things in his exhorta- 
tion preached he unto the people. 

19 'But "'Her'od the tetrarch, being reproved 
by him for He-ro'di-as his brother Phil'ip's 
wife, and for all the evils which Her'od had 
done, 

20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up 
John in prison. 

21 4 Now when all the people were baptized, 
"it came to pass, that Je'§us also being bap- 
tized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 

22 5 And the Ho'ly Ghost descended in a bod- 
ily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice 
came "from heaven, which said, Thou art my 
beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 

23 And Je'§us himself began to be ^about 
thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) 
Hhe son of J6'§eph, which was the son of 
He'll, 

24 Which was the son of Mat'that, which 
was the son of Le'vi, which was the son of 
MeTchi, which was the son of Jan'na. which 
was the son of Jo'§eph, 

25 Which was the son of Mat-ta-thi'as, 
which was the son of A'mos, which was the son 
of Na'um, which was the son of Es'li, which 
was the son of Nag'ge, 

26 Which was the son of Ma'ath, which was 
the son of Mat-ta-thi'as, which was the son of 
Sem'e-i, which was the son of Jo'§eph, which 
was the son of Ju'da, 

27 Which was the son of Jo-an'na, which 
.was the son of Rhe'sa, which was the son of 

Zo-rob'a-bel, which was the son of Sa-la'thi-el, 
which was the son of Ne'ri, 

28 Which was the son of MeTchi, which was 
the son of Ad'di, which was the son of CS'sam, 
which was the son of El-mo'dam, which was 
the son of Er, 

29 Which was the son of Jo'se, which was 
the son of E-li-e'zer, which was the son of 
JS'rim, which was the son of Mat'that, which 
was the son of Le'vi, 

30 Which was the son of Sim'e-on, which 
was the son of Ju'da, which was the son of 
Joseph, which was the son of Jo'nan, which 
was the son of E-li'a-kim, 



Chapter 3. 

a. And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that 
same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all. (Jno. 11:49.) And 
led him away to Annas first: for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, 
which was the high priest that same year. (Jno. 18:13.) 

b. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and 
the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the 
earth with a curse. (Mai. 4:6.) In those days came John the Baptist, 
preaching in the wilderness of Judea. (Mat. 3:1.) John did baptize in 
the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission 
of sins. (Mk. 1:4.) Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the 
baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe 
on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. (Acts 
19:4.) 

e. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way 
of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. (Is. 
40:3.) For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Bsaias, saying, 
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the 
Lord, make his paths straight. (Mat. 3:3.) He said, I am the voice of 
one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as 
said the prophet Esaias. (Jno. 1:23.) 

d. The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath 
he openly shown in the sight of the heathen. (Ps. 98:2.) The Lord hath 
made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends 
of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. (Is. 52:10.) 

e. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to 
his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned 
you to flee from the wrath to come? (Mat. 3:7.) 

f. But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and 
throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they 
should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. (Acts 
26:20.) 

g. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou 
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Acts 2:27.) 

h. But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may 
be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply 
for your want: that there may be equality. (II Cor. 8:14.) But whoso 



hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth 
up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God 
in him? (I Jno. 3:17.) 

i. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye be- 
lieved him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and 
ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe 
him. (Mat. 21:32.) 

j. He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the 
Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk 
humbly with thy God? (Mic. 6:8.) 

k. Thou shalt not raise a false report; put not thine hand with the 
wicked to be an unrighteous witness. (Ex. 23:1.) Ye shall not steal, 
neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. (Lev. 19:11.) 

1. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that 
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to 
bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. (Mat. 
3:11.) 

m. As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is the wicked ruler 
over the poor people. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a 
great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. 
(Prov. 28:15, 16.) For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, 
and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. 
(Mat. 14:3.) 

n. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be 
baptized of him. (Mat. 3:13.) And John bare record, saying, I saw the 
Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 
(Jno. 1:32.) 

o. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when 
there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my 
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (II Pet. 1:17.) 

p. Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? 
and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? (Mat. 13:55.) 
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and 
mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from 
heaven? (Jno. 6:42.) 

q. From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old all 
that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. (Num. 4:3.)

1 The temptation and fasting of Christ. 13 
He overcometh the devil: 14 beginneth to 
preach. 33 He cureth one possessed of a 
devil, 38 Peter's mother in law, 40 and 
divers other sick jjersons. 41 The devils ac- 
knowledge Christ and are reproved for it. 

1 x And °Je'sus being full = of the Holy Gh5st 
returned from Jor'dan, and 'was led by the 
Spirit into the wilderness, 

2 Being forty days c tempted of the devil. 
And d m those days he did eat nothing: and 
when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 

3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be 
the Son of God, command this stone that it be 
made bread. 

4 And Je'sus answered him, saying, c It is 
written, That man shall not live by bread 
alone, but by every word of God. 

5 And the devil, taking him up into an high 
mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms 
of the world in a moment of time. 

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power 
will I give thee, and the glory of them : for 
that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever 
I will I give it.

1. In vs. 1-13 is an account of 
the temptations of Jesus: parallel to 
Mat. 4:1-11 and Mark 1:12, 13. 



Received at his baptism. 



3. Each of the three temptations 
hang upon that mighty little word 
"if." which Christ shows can al- 
ways be turned to our good when- 
ever taken to the scriptures for in- 
terpretation. 



4. In vs. 14-32 Jesus enters upon 
his, public ministry and is rejected 
at Nazareth. 



5. In *s. 16-35 is an account of 
the first visit to Nazareth, which 
seems to have been "selected by 
Luke as the initiatory, as "he came 
to his own and his own received him 
not." 



A. P. 2 7 - 3 i 

7 If Hhou therefore wilt worship me, all 
shall be thine. 

8 And Je'sus answered and said unto him, 
Get thee behind me, Sa'tan: for it is written, 
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him 
only shalt thou serve. 

9 And he brought him to Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said 
unto him, If thou be the Son of God, feast thy- 
self down from hence: 

10 For -"it is written, He shall give his 
angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 

11 And in their hands they shall bear thee 
up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against 
a stone. 

12 And Je'sus answering said unto him, h It 
is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

13 And when the devil had ended all the 
temptation, 'he departed from him for a season. 

14 *~ 4 And -'Je'sus returned in the power of 
the Spirit into Gal'i-lee: and there went out 
a fame of him through all the region round 
about. 

15 And he taught in their synagogues, being 
glorified of all. 

16 *" 5 And he came to Naz'a-reth, where he 
had been brought up: and, as his custom was, 
*"he went into the synagogue on the sabbath 
day, and stood up for to read. 

17 And there was delivered unto him the 
book of the prophet E-sa'ias. And when he 
had opened the book, he found the place where 
it was written, 

18 The 'Spirit of the Lord is upon me, be- 
cause he hath anointed me to preach the gospel 
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken- 
hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, 
and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at 
liberty them that are bruised, 

19 To preach the '"acceptable year of the 
Lord. 

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it 
again to the minister, and sat down. And the 
eyes of all them that were in the synagogue 
were fastened on him. 

21 And he began to say unto them, This day 
is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 

22 And all bare him witness, and "wondered 
at the gracious words which proceeded out of 
his mouth. And they said, Is not this Jo'seph's 
son? 

23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely 
say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thy- 
self: whatsoever we have heard done in °Ca- 
per'na-iim, do also here in thy country. 

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No 
prophet is ^accepted in his own country. 



r. And these he the names of those that were born unto him in 
Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon. (II Sam. 
5:14.) And these were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shimea, and Shobab, 
and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bath-shua the daughter of Ammiel. 
(I Chr. 3:5.) 

s. Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron. 
(Ruth 4:18.) And Ram begat Ainminadab: and Amminadab begat Nah- 
shon, prince of the children of Judah. (I Chr. 2:10.) 

t. And Arphaxad lived five and thirtv years, and begat Salah. (Gen. 
U:12.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. the spirit of wis- 
3om and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of 
knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (Is. 11:2.) 

b. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents 
brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law. 
(Luke 2:27 i 

c. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and be- 
tween thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt 
bruise. his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) For in that he himself hath suffered, being 
tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted. (Heb. 2:18.) 

d. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength 
of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. 
(I Ks. 19:8.) And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty 
nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon 
the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. (Ex. 34:28.) 

e. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee 
with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know: 
that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only. 
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth 
man live. (Dt. 8:3.) 

t. Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil, as a roar- 
ing lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (I Pet. 5:8.) 



g. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all 
thy ways. (Ps. 91:11.) 

h. Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in 
Massah. (Dt. 6:16.) 

i. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will 
flee from you. (Js. 4:7.) . 

j. Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he 
departed into Galilee. (Mat. 4:12.) 

k. But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in 
Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath dav, and sat down. 
(Acts 13:14.) 

1. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me: because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to 
bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the 
opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) 

m. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of 
vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn. (Is. 61:2.) (For he 
saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salva- 
tion have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now 
is the day of salvation.) (II Cor. 6:2.) 

n. Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into 
thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. (Ps. 45:2.) And when 
he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, 
insomuch that they were astonished, and said. Whence hath this man 
this wisdom, and these mighty works? (Mat. 13:54.) 

o. And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which 
is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim. (Mat. 
4:13.) And thou. Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be 
brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done 
in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this dav. 
(Mat. 11:23.) 

p. And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A

25 But I tell you of a truth, many ^widows 
were in Is'ra-el in the days of E-li'as, token 
the heaven was shut up three years and six 
months, when great famine was throughout 
all tlie laud; 

26 But unto none of them ivas E-li'as sent, 
save unto Sa-rep'td, a city of Si'don, unto a 
woman that ivas a tvidoiv. 

27 And 'many lepers were in is'ra-el in the 
time of El-i-se'us the prophet; and none of 
them was cleansed, saving Na'a-man the Syr'- 
i-an. 

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they 
heard these things, were filled with wrath, 

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the 
city, and led him unto the brow of the hill 
whereon their city was built, that they might 
cast him down headlong. 

30 But he s passing through the midst of 
them went his way, 

31 And 'came down to Ca-per'na-um, a city 
of Gal'i-lee, and taught them on the sabbath 
days. 

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine : 
"for his word was with power. 

33 H 6 And r in the synagogue there was a 
man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, 
and cried out with a loud voice, 

34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to 
do with thee, thou Je'sus of Naz'a-reth? art 
thou come to destroy us? I know thee who 
thou art; "the Holy One of God. 

35 And Je'sus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy 
peace, and come out of him. And when the 
devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out 
of him, and hurt him not. 

36 And they were all amazed, and spake 
among themselves, saying, What a word is 
this! for with authority and power he com- 
mandeth the unclean spirits, and they come 
out. 

37 And the fame of him went out into every 
place of the country round about. 

38 r 1f And he 'arose out of the synagogue, 
and entered into Si'mon's house. And Sl'mon's 
wife's mother was taken with a great fever; 
and they besought him for her. 

39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the 
fever; and it left her: and immediately she 
arose and ministered unto them. 

40 ^ *Now when the sun was setting, all 
they that had any sick with divers diseases 
brought them unto him; and he laid his hands 
on every one of them, and healed them. 

41 And -devils also came out of many, cry- 
ing out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son

of God. And he rebuking them suffered them 
not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 

42 And when it was day, he departed and 
went into a desert place: and the people sought 
him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that 
he should not depart from them. 

43 And he said unto them, ""I must preach 
the kingdom of God to other cities also: for 
therefore am I sent. 

44 And he preached in the synagogues of 
Gal'i-lee. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 Christ teacheth the people out of Peter's 
ship. 4 A miraculous taking of fishes. 12 
Christ cleanseth the leper: 16 prayeth in 
the tvilderness: 18 healeth one sick of the 
palsy: 27 calleth Matthew the publican: 
29 eateth with sinners: 36 and likeneth 
fainthearted disciples to old bottles and worn 
garments. 

1 'And it came to pass, that, as the people 
pressed upon him to hear the word of God, 
he stood by the lake of Gen-nes'a-ret, 

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: 
but the fishermen were gone out of them, and 
were washing their nets. 

3 And he entered into one of the ships, 
which was Si'mon's, and prayed him that he 
would thrust out a little from the land. And 
he sat down, and taught the people out of the 
ship. 

4 Now when he had left speaking, he said 
unto Si'mon, a Launch out into the deep, and 
let down your nets for a draught. 

5 And Si'mon answering said unto him, Mas- 
ter, 6 we have toiled all the night, and have 
taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will 
let down the net. 

6 And when they had this done, they in- 
closed a great multitude of fishes: and their 
net brake. 

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, 
which were in the other ship, that they should 
come and help them. And they came, and 
filled both the ships, so that they began to 
sink. 

8 When Si'mon Pe'ter saw it, he fell down 
at Je'sus' knees, saying, c Depart from me; for 
I am a sinful man, Lord. 

9 For he was astonished, and all that were 
with him, at the draught of the fishes which 
they had taken: 

10 And so was also Jame§, and J5hn, the 
sons of Zeb'e-dee, which were partners with 
Si'mon. And Je'sus said unto Si'mon, Fear 
not; from ^henceforth thou shall catch men. 



prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own 
house. (Mat. 13:57.) 

q. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and 
dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sus- 
tain thee. (I Ks. 17:9.) 

r. Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, ac- 
cording to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again 
, like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. (II Ks. 5:14.) 

s. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, 
and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so 
passed by. (Jno. 8:59.) Therefore they sought again to take him: but 
he escaped out of their hand. (Jno. 10:39.) 

t. And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which 
is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim. (Mat. 
4:13.) And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath 
day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. (Mk. 1:21.) 

u. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the 
people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one 
having authority, and not as the scribes. (Mat. 7:28, 29.) 

v. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; 
and he cried out. (Mk. 1:23.) 

w. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer 
thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.) Thus saith the Lord, the 
Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One; to him whom man despiseth, to 
him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see 
and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faith- 
ful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. (Is. 49:7.) 
And the angel answered and said unto her. The Holy Ghost shall come 
upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: there- 
fore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called 
the Son of God. (Luke. 1:35.) 

x. And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's 
mother laid, and sick of a fever. (Mat. 8:14.) And forthwith, when they 
were come out of the synagogue, then entered into the house of Simon 
and Ardrew, with James and John. (Mk. 1:29.) 



y. When' the even was come, they brought unto him many that were 
possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and 
healed all that were sick. (Mat. 8:1G.) 

z. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast 
out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew 
him. (Mk. 1:34.) And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down 
before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. (Mk. 3:11.) 

aa. Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, 
preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God; And saying, The time is 
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the 
Gospel. (Mk. 1:14, 15.) How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the 
Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing 
all that were oppressed of the devil: for God was with him. (Acts 10:38.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the 
ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore; and now they were not 
able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. (Jno. 21:6.) 

b. And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 
Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three taber- 
nacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing 
what he said (33). And John answered and said, Master, we saw one 
casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he fol- 
loweth not with us. (Luke 9:33, 4«.) And they lifted up their voices, 
and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. (Luke 17:13.) 

c. And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou 
man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and 
to slay my son? (I Ks. 17:18.) Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in 
dust and ashes. (Job 42:6.) 

d. Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they 
shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall 
hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the 
holes of the rocks. (Jer. 16:16.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, 
and I will make you fishers of men. (Mat. 4:19.) Again, the kingdom of 
heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of 
every kind. (Mat. 13:47.)

11 And when they had brought their ships 
to land, 'they forsook all, and followed him. 

12 If 2 And it came to pass, when he was in 
a certain city, behold a man "full of leprosy: 
who seeing Je'sus fell on his face, and be- 
sought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou 
canst fmake me clean. 

13 And he put forth his hand, and touched 
him, saying, / will: be thou clean. And im- 
mediately the leprosy departed from him. 

14 And he charged him to tell no man: but 
go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer 
for thy cleansing, ^according as Mo'ses com- 
manded, for a testimony unto them. 

15 But so much the more went there a fame 
abroad of him: and great ''multitudes came 
together to hear, and to be healed by him of 
their infirmities. 

16 r And he withdrew himself into the wil- 
derness, and prayed. 

17 c And it came to pass on a certain day, as 
he was teaching, that there were Phar'i-sees 
and doctors of the law sitting by, which were 
come out of every town of Gal'i-lee, and Jti- 
das'a, and Je-ru'sa-lem : and the power of the 
Lord was present to heal them. 

18 r And, 'behold, men brought in a bed a 
man which was taken with a palsy-: and they 
sought means to bring him in, and to lay him 
before him. 

19 And when they could not find by what 
way they might bring him in because of the 
multitude, they went upon the house top, and 
let him down through the tiling with his couch 
into the midst before Je'sus. 

20 And when he saw their faith, he said 
unto him, Man, Hhy sins are forgiven thee. 

21 And the scribes and the Phar'i-sees be- 
gan to reason, saying, Who is this which speak- 
eth blasphemies? *Who can forgive sins, but 
God alone? 

22 But when Je'sus perceived their thoughts, 
he answering said unto them, What reason ye 
in your hearts? 

23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be 
forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? 

24 But that ye may know that the Son of 
man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, 
(he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto

thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into 
thine house. 

25 And immediately he rose up before them, 
and took up that whereon he lay, and departed 
to his own house, glorifying God. 

26 And they were all amazed, and they glori- 
fied God, and were filled with fear, saying, We 
have seen strange things to day. 

27 ^ 4 And 'after these things he went forth, 
and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at 
the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, 
Follow me. 

28 And he left all, rose up, and followed 
him. 

29 And m Le'vi made him a great feast in his 
own house: and there was a great company 
of publicans and of others that sat down with 
them. 

30 But their scribes and Phar'i-sees mur- 
mured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye 
eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 

31 And Je'sus answering said unto them, 
They that are whole need not a physician; but 
they that are sick. 

32 I "came not to call the righteous, but 
sinners to repentance. 

33 r5 And they said unto him, °Why do the 
disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, 
and likewise the disciples of the Phar'i-sees; 
but thine eat and drink? 

34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the 
children of the bridechamber fast, while the 
^bridegroom is with them? 

35 But the days mill come, when the bride- 
groom shall Qbe taken away from them, and 
then shall r they fast in those days. 

36 *~ And s he spake also a parable unto 
them; No man putteth a piece of a new gar- 
ment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the 
new maketh a rent, and the piece that was 
taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. 

37 And no man putteth new wine into old 
bottles; else the new wine will burst the bot- 
tles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 

38 But new wine must be put into new bot- 
tles; and both are preserved. 

39 No man also having drunk old wine 
straightway desireth new: for he saith, The 
old is better. 



e. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him (20). And 
they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. (Mat. 
4:20, 22.) And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him 
(18). And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee 
in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. (Mk. 1:18, 20.) 
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or 
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, 
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (Mat. 
19:29.) 

f. Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will 
return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a 
son. (Gen. 18:14.) Wherefore he is able also to save them to che utter- 
most that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make inter- 
cession for them. (Heb. 7:25.) 

g. Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be 
cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and 
hyssop (4). And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without 
blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three 
tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one 
log of oil (10). And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he 
shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an 
atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil 
for a meat offering, and a log of oil; And two turtle-doves, or two 
young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin 
offering, and the other a burnt offering. (Lev. 14:4, 10, 21, 22.) 

h. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his 
miracles which he did on them that were diseased. (Jno. 6:2.) 

i. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying 
on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy; 
Son, be of goo-1 cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. (Mat. 9:2.) 

j. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a 
Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 
5:31.) 

k. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not 
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou 
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Ps. 32:5.) Who forgiveth all 
thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. (Ps. 103:3.) I, even I, 
am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will 
not remember thy sins. (Is. 43:25.) To the Lord our God belong mercies 
and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him. (Dan. 9:9.) 

1. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named 
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Fol- 
low me. And he arose, and followed him. (Mat. 9:9.) 



m. And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, 
many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his dis- 
ciples. (Mat. 9:10.) 

n. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and 
not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to re- 
pentance. (Mat. 9:13.) This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all 
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of 
whom I am chief. (I Tim. 1:15.) 

o. Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and 
the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? (Mat. 9:14.) 

p. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a 
marriage for his son. (Mat. 22:2.) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give 
honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath 
made herself ready. (Rev. 19:7.) 

q. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off. but 
not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall de- 
stroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be with a 
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:26.) Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, and against the man that 
is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the Shepherd, and the sheep 
shall be scattered; and I will turn fnine hand upon the little ones. (Zech. 
13:7.) 

r. Moreover, when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad 
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto 
men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, 
when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and" wash thy face. (Mat. 6:16, 17.) 
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, 
they sent them away. (Acts 13:3.) But in all things approving our- 
selves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in neces- 
sities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, 
in watchings, in fastings. (II Cor. 6:4, 5.) In weariness and painful- 
ness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold 
and nakedness. (II Cor. 11:27.) 

s. No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment; for 
that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent 
is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles; else the 
bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but 
they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. (Mat. 
9:16, 17.) No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: 
else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the 
rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: 
else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and 
the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. 
(Mk. 2:21, 22.)

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Christ reproveth the Pharisees' blindness 
about the observation of the sabbath: 13 
chooseth tivelve apostles: 17 healeth the 
diseased: 20 preacheth to his disciples be- 
fore the people of blessings and curses: 27 
how we must low our enemies. 

1 x And °it came to pass on the second sab- 
bath after the first, that he went through the 
corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears 
of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their 
hands. 

2 And certain of the Phar'i-see§ said unto 
them, 6 Why do ye that which is not lawful to 
do on the sabbath days? . 

3 And Je'sus answering them said,_ffave ye 
not read so much as this, c what Da'vid did, 
when himself ivas an hungred, and they ivhich 
were ivith him; 

4 How he went into the house of God, and 
did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also 
to them that were with him; d which it is not 
lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 

5 And he said unto them, That the Son of 
man is Lord also of the sabbath. 

6 2 And f it came to pass also on another sab- 
bath, that he entered into the synagogue and 
taught : and there was a man whose right hand 
was withered. 

7 And the scribes and Phar'I-sees watched 
him, whether he would heal on the sabbath 
day; that they might find an accusation against 
him. 

8 But he fknew their thoughts, and said to 
the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, 
and stand forth in the midst. And he arose 
and stood forth. 

9 Then said Je'sus unto them, / will ask you 
one thing; sis it lawful on the sabbath days to 
do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to des- 
troy it? 

10 And looking round about upon them all, 
he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. 
And he did so: and his hand was restored 
whole as the other. 

11 And they were filled with madness; and 
communed one with another what they might 
do to Je'sus. 

12 3 And ft it came to pass in those days, that

in prayer.

he went out into a mountain to pray, and con- 
tinued 4 all night in prayer to God. 

13 11 And when it was day, he called unto 
him his disciples : and *of them he chose twelve, 
whom also he named apostles; . 

14 Si'mon, (whom he also_ named Pe'ter,) 
and An'drew his brother, James, and John, 
Philip and Bar-thol'6-mew, 

15 Mat'thew and Thom'as, Jame§ the son of 
Al-phas'us, and Si'mon called Ze-lo'te§, 

16 And Ju'das the brother of Jame§, and 
Ju'das Is-car'i-ot, which also was the traitor. 

17 f And he came down with them, and 
stood in the plain, and the company of his 
disciples, -'and a great multitude of people out 
of all Ju-dse'a and Je-ru'sa-lem, and from the 
sea coast of Tyre and Si'don, which came to 
hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 

18 And they that were vexed with unclean 
spirits: and they were heale^. 

19 And the whole multitude sought to fc touch 
him: for 'there went virtue out of him, and 
healed them all. 

20 II 5 And he lifted up his eyes on his dis- 
ciples, and said, "'Blessed be ye poor: for your's 
is the kingdom of God. 

21 "Blessed are ye that hunger noiv: for ye 
shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: 
for ye shall laugh. 

22 Blessed °are ye, tvhen men shall hate you, 
and when they shall separate you from their 
company, and shall reproach you, and cast out 
your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 

23 Rejoice Pye in that day, and lea}) for joy: 
for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: 
for in the like manner did their fathers unto 
the prophets. 

24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye 
have received your consolation. 

25 iWoe unto you that are full! for ye shall 
hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye 
shall mourn and weep. 

26 ''Woe unto you, when all men shall speak 
well of you! for so did their fathers to the 
false prophets. 

27 \ But S I say unto you which hear, Love 
your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for 
them which despitefully use you.

a. At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; 
and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of 
corn, and to eat. (Mat. 12:1.) And it came to pass, that he went through 
the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they 
went, to pluck the ears of corn. (Mk. 2:23.) 

b. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it 
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy 
man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger 
that is within thy gates. (Ex. 20:10.) And when they saw some of his 
disciples eat bread with defiled (that is to say, with unwashen) hands, 
they found fault. (Mk. 7:2.) 

e. So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread 
there but the showbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put 
hot bread in the day when it was taken away. (I Sam. 21:6.) 

d. And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in 
the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord 
made by fire by a perpetual statute. (Lev. 24:9.) 

e. And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue. 
(Mat. 12:9.) And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a 
man there which had a withered hand. (Mk. 3:1.) And the ruler of the 
synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed 
on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in 
which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and 
not on the sabbath day. (Luke 13:14.) 

f. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or 
on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD 
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but 
the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) But when Jesus perceived 
their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your 
hearts? (Luke 5:22.) But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, 
because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: 
for he knew what was in man. (Jno. 2:24, 25.) He saith unto him the 
third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved 
because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said 
unto him. Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. 
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (Jno. 21:17.) And I will kill her 
children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which 
searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give unto every one of you 
according to your works. (Rev. 2:23.) 

g. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law 



of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have 
made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? (Jno. 7:23.) 

h. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a 
mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there 
alone. • (Mat. 14:23.) 

i. And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave 
them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all 
manner of sickness, and all manner of disease. (Mat. 10:1.) 

j. And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, 
and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from judea, and from 
beyond Jordan. (Mat. 4:25.) 

k. And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his 
garment; and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. (Mat. 
14:36.) 

1. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone 
out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my 
clothes? (Mk. 5:30.) 

m. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of 
heaven. (Mat. 5:3.) Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God 
chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom 
which he hath promised to them that love him? (Js. 2:5.) 

n. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that 
hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk 
without money, and without price. (Is. 55:1.) . 

o. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and 
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Mat. 5:11.) 

p. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing 
that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. (Acts 5:41.) 
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. (Js. 1:2, 3.) 

q. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall 
eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye 
shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be 
ashamed. (Is. 65:13.) 

r. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but be- 
cause ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, 
therefore the world hateth you. (Jno. 15:19.) 

s. If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt 
surely bring it back to him again. (Ex. 23:4.) If thine enemy be hun- 
gry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to 
drink. (Prov, 25:21.)

taketh aivay thy cloke forbid not to take thy 
coat also. 

30 Give "to every man that asketh of thee; 
and of him that taketh away thy goods ask 
them not again. 

31 And as ye would that men should do to 
you, do ye also to them likewise. 

32 For if ye love them which love you, what 
thank have ye? for sinners also love those that 
love them. 

33 And if ye do good to them which do good 
to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also 
do even the same. 

34 And if ye lend to them of ivhom ye hope 
to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners 
also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 

35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, 
and n 'lend, hoping for nothing again; and your 
reward shall be great, and x ye shall be the 
children of the Highest: for '->he is kind unto 
the unthankful and to the evil. 

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father 
also is merciful.

condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: 
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 

38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good

mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

ter. 

41 And aa ivhy beholdest thou the mote that 
is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the 
beam that is in thine own eye? 

42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, 
Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in 
thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the 
beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypo- 
crite, cast out first the beam out of thine own 
eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out 
the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a 
bramble bush gather they grapes. 

45 A good man out of the good treasure of 
his heart bringeth forth that which is good; 
and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his 
heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of 
the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Ch. 7. A. D. 31. 



1. In ts. 1-10 Christ heals a cen- 
turion's servant; parallel to Mat. 
S:5-13. 



2. Earnestly. 



3. Great because of the pagan- 
ism through which it had to come 
and great In its absolute trust. 



4. In vs. 11-17 is an account of 
raising the dead son of the widow 
of Nain. which occurred the nest 
day after healing the centurion's 
servant; recorded by Luke alone. 



A. P. 31 

48 He is like a man which built an house, 
and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a 
rock: and when the flood arose, the stream 
beat vehemently upon that house, and could 
not shake it: for- it was founded upon a rock. 

49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is 
like a man that without a ^foundation built an 
house upon the earth; against which the stream 
did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; 
and the ruin of that house was great. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Christ findeth a greater faith in the cen- 
turion than in any of the Jeivs: 10 healeth 
his servant being absent: 11 raiseth from 
death the widow's son at Nain: 36 and 
sheweth, by occasion of Mary Magdalene, 
how he is a friend to sinners. 

1 3 Now when he had ended all his sayings 
in the audience of the people, he entered into 
Ca-per'na-um. 

2 And a certain centurion's servant, who 
was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 

3 And when he heard of Je'sus, he sent unto 
him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that 
he would come and heal his servant. 

4 And when they came to Je'§us, they be- 
sought him instantly, saying, That he was 
worthy- for whom he should do this: 

5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath 
built us a synagogue. 

6 Then Je'sus went with them. And when 
he was now not far from the house, the cen- 
turion sent friends to him, saying unto him, 
Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy 
that thou shouldest enter under my roof: 

7 Wherefore neither thought I myself wor- 
thy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and 
my servant shall be healed. 

8 For I also am a man set under authority, 
having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, 
Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and 
he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he 
doeth it. 

9 When Je'sus heard these things, he mar- 
velled at him, and turned him about, and said 
unto the people that followed him, / say unto 
you,_ I have not found so great z faith, no, not 
a in Is'ra-el. 

10 And they that were sent, returning to the 
house, found the servant whole that had been 
sick. 

11 1[ 4 And it came to pass the day after, that 
he went into a city called Na'in; and many of 
his disciples went with him, and much people. 

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of 
the city, behold, there was a dead man car- 
ried out, the only son of his mother, and she 
was a widow: and much people of the city was 
with her. 

13 And when the Lord saw her, he 6 had com- 
passion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 

14 And he came and touched the bier: and 



t. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye 
go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why 
do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? (I Cor. 6:7.) 

u. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within 
any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy C+od giveth thee, thou 
shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother; 
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend 
him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. (Dt. 15:7, 8.) 

v. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do 
to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets. 
(Mat. 7:12.) 

w. And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with 
thee, then thou shalt relieve him; yea, though he be a stranger, or a 
sojourner; that he may live with thee. (Lev. 25:35.) 

x. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: 
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth 
rain on the just and on the unjust. (Mat. 5:45.) Behold what manner 
of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the 
sons of God! therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him 
not. (I Jno. 3:1.) 

y. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did 
good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our 
hearts with food and gladness. (Acts 14:17.) 



z. And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their 
reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. (Ps. 79:12.) 

aa. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad 
is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in 
thereat. (Mat. 7:13.) 

bb. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of 
thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good 
fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. (Mat. 7:16, 17.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become un- 
profitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Rom. 3:12.) 

b. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion accord- 
ing to the multitude of his mercies. (Lam. 3:32.) Jesus wept. (Jno. 
11:35.) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with a 
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, 
yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15.) But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe 
mint and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the 
love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other 
undone. (Luke 11:42.) And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase 
our faith. And the Lord said, If we had faith as a grain of mustard seed, 
ye might say unto this sycamine tree. Be thou plucked up by the root, 
and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. (Luke 17:5, 6.) 
Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. (Luke 
21:34.)

they that bare him stood still. And he said, 
Young man, I say unto thee, "Arise. 

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began 
to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 

16 And ''there came a fear on all: and they 
glorified God, saying, That a 'great prophet is 
risen up among us;' and, That God hath vis- 
ited his people. 

17 And this rumour of him went forth 
throughout all Ju-dse'a, and throughout all the 
region round about. 

18 : And the disciples of John shewed him of 
all these things. 

19 11 And John calling unto him two of his 
disciples sent them to Je'sus-, saying, Art thou 
fhe that should come? or look we for another? 

20 When the men were come unto him, they 
said, John Bap'tist hath sent us unto thee, 
saying, Art thou he that should come? or look 
we for another? 

21 And in that same hour he cured many of 
their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spir- 
its; and unto many that were blind he gave 
sight. 

2*2 Then Je'§us answering said unto them, 
Go your way, and tell John tvhat things ye 
have seen and heard; show that the blind see, 
the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the 
deaf hear, the dead are raised, Ho the poor the 
gospel is preached. 

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be 
offended in me. 

24 If And when the messengers of J5hn were 
departed, he began to speak unto the people 
concerning John, What went ye out into the 
wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the 
wind? 

25 But what went ye out for to see? A man 
clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which 
are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, 
are in kings' courts. 

26 But what went ye out for to see? A 
prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more 
than a prophet. 

27 This is he, of whom it is written, l Be- 
hold, I send my messenger before thy face, 
ivhich shall prepare thy way before thee. 

28 For I say unto you, Among those that 
are born of women there is not a greater

prophet than John the Bap'tist: but he that 
is least in the kingdom of God is greater than 
he. 

29 And all the people that heard him, and 
the publicans, justified God, -'being baptized 
with the baptism of John. 

30 But the Phar'i-see§ and lawyers rejected 
the counsel of God against themselves, being 
not baptized of him. 

31 H And the Lord said, W hereunto then 
shall I liken the men of this generation? and 
to what are they like? 

32 They are like unto children sitting in the 
marketplace, and calling one to another, and 
saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have 
not danced; w.e have mourned to you, and ye 
have not wept. 

33 For John the Bap'tist came neither eat- 
ing bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He 
hath a devil. 

34 The Son of man is come eating and drink- 
ing; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and 
a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sin- 
ners ! 

35 l 'But wisdom is justified of all her chil- 
dren. 

36 f "And 'one of the Phar'i-see§ desired him 
that he would eat with him. And he went into 
the Phar'i-see's house, and sat down to meat. 

37 And, behold, '"a woman in the city, which 
was a 'sinner, when she knew that Je'§us sat at 
meat in the Phar'i-see's house, brought an ala- 
baster box of ointment, 

38 And stood at his feet behind him "weep- 
ing, and began to wash his feet with tears, and 
did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and 
kissed his feet, and anointed them with the 
ointment. 

39 Now when the Phar'i-see which had bid- 
den him saw it, he spake within himself, say- 
ing, This man, if he were a prophet, would 
have known who and what manner of woman 
this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. 

40 And Je'sus answering said unto him, 
Si'mon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. 
And he saith, Master, say on. 

41 There was a certain s 'creditor which had 
two ''debtors: the one owed five ^hundred 
°pence, and the other w fifty. 



c. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Laz- 
arus, come forth. (Jno. 11:43.) But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled 
down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. 
And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. (Acts 
9:40.) (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) 
before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and 
calleth those things which be not as though they were. (Rom. 4:17.) 

d. And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these 
saying were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judea. 
(Luke 1:65.) 

e. And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, 
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and 
word before God and all the people. (Luke 24:19.) Then those men, 
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth 
that prophet that should come into the world. (Jno. 6:14.) 

f. I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury 
to rest: I the Lord have said it. (Bz. 21:17.) Know therefore and un- 
derstand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and 
\o build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, 
and threescore and two weeks: the streets shall be built again, and the 
wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall 
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince 
that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end 
thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations 
are determined. (Dan. 9:25, 26.) And I will shake all nations, and the 
Desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, 
saith the Lord of hosts. (Hag. 2:7.) Rejoice greatly, O daughter of 
Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King cometh unto 
thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, 
and upon a colt the foal of an ass. (Zech. 9:9.) Behold, I will send my 
messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom 
ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the 
covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord 
of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun 
of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, 
and grow up as calves of the stall. (Mai. 4:2.) 

g. And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and 
*he eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 
(Is. 29:18.) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears 
of the deaf shall be unstopped (5). And the parched ground shall be- 
come a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation 
of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass, with reeds and rushes. (Is. 
35:5, 7.) 

h. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 



anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to 
bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the 
opening of the prison to them tnat are bound. (Is. 61:1.) The Spirit of 
the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel 
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach de- 
liverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at 
liberty them that are bruised. (Luke 4:18.) Hearken, my beloved 
brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and 
heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 
(Js. 2:5.) 

i. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 
(Is. 40:3.) Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the 
way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his 
temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, 
he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) Behold, I will send 
you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of 
the Lord. (Mai. 4:5.) 

j. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the 
region round about Jordan. (Mat. 3:5.) Then came also publicans to be 
baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? (Luke 3:12.) 

k. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold 
a man gluttonous, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. 
But Wisdom is justified of her children. (Mat. 11:19.) But we preach 
Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks 
foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, 
Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (I Cor. 1:23, 24.) 

I. Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper. 
(Mat. 26:26.) And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 
as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of 
ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured 
it on his head. (Mk. 14:3.) 

• m. And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and in- 
firmities, Mary called Magdelene, out of whom went seven devils. (Luke 
8:2.) 

n. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabi- 
tants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they 
shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for 
him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for 
him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zech. 12:10.) 

o. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow- 
servants, which owed him an hundred pence; and he laid hands on him, 
and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. (Mat. 
18:28.)

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he 
frankly p forgave them both. Tell me there- 
fore, which of them will love him most? 

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that 
he, to whom he forgave most. And he said 
unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 

44 And he turned to the woman, and said 
unto Si'mon, Seest thou this woman? I entered 
into thine house, thou gavest me no iwater for 
my feet: but she hath washed my feet with 
tears, and' wiped them with the hairs of her 
head. 

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman 
since the time I came in hath not ceased to 
kiss my feet. 

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: 
but this woman hath anointed my feet with 
ointment. 

47 Wherefore U I say unto thee, Her sins, 
ivhich are many, are forgiven; for she loved 
much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same 
loveth little. 

48 And he said unto her, 'Thy sins are for- 
given. 

49 And they that sat at meat with him be- 
. gan to say within themselves, *Who is this that 

forgiveth sins also? 

50 I2 And he said to the woman, *Thy faith 
hath saved thee; go in peace.

able of the sower, 16 and of the candle. 
22 Christ rebuketh the winds: 37 is reject- 
ed of the Gadarenes: 43 healeth the woman 
of her bloody issue, 49 and raiseth Jairus' 
daughter. 

1 And it came to pass 1 afterward, that he 
went throughout every city and village, preach- 
ing and shewing the glad tidings of the king- 
dom of God : and the twelve were with him. 

2 And "certain women, which had been 
healed of 'evil spirits and infirmities, Ma'ry 
called 3 Mag-da-le'ne, out of whom went 4 seven 
devils, 

3 And Jo-an'na the wife of Chu'za Her'od's 
steward, and Su-san'na, and many others, 
which ministered unto him of their substance. 

4 1F 5 And 6 when much people were gathered 
together, and were come to him out of every 
city, he spake by a parable: 

5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as 
he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it 
was trodden down, and the fowls of the air 
devoured it. 



11. Because of what she has done. 



12. Faith is at the foundation of 
all blessings. It brings pardon, par- 
don brings the holy spirit, which in- 
spires love, and the heart is thereby 
purified.

A. P. 31 

6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as 
it was sprung up, it withered away, because it 
lacked moisture. 

7 And some fell among thorns; and the 
thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 

8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang 
up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when 
he had said these things, he cried, He that hath 
ears to hear, let him hear. 

9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What 
might this parable be? 

10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know 
the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to 
others in parables; c that seeing they might not 
see, and hearing they might not understand. 

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the 
word of God. 

12 Those d by the way side are they that 
hear; then cometh e the devil, and taketh away 
the tvord out of their hearts, lest they should 
believe and be saved. 

13 They on the rock are they, which, when 
they hear, receive the word with joy; and these 
have no root, which for a while believe, and in 
time of temptation fall away. 

14 And that which fell among thorns are 
they, which, when they have heard, go forth, 
and are choked with cares and riches and 
pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to 
perfection. 

15 But that on the good ground are they, 
which in an honest and good heart, having 
heard the word, keep it, fand bring forth fruit 
with patience. 

16 II Wo fman, when he hath lighted a can- 
dle, covereth it with a vessel, or. putteth it un- 
der a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that 
they which enter in may see the light. 

17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be 
made manifest; neither any thing hid, that 
shall not be known and come abroad. 

18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: h for 
whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and 
whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken 
even that which he seemeth to have. 

19 1[ Then 'came to him his mother and his 
brethren, and could not come at him for the 
press. 

20 And it was told him by certain which 
said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand with- 
out, desiring to see thee. 

21 And he answered and said unto them, My 
mother and my brethren are these which hear 
the vjord of God, and do it. 



p. I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine 
own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Is. 43:25.) I have blotted 
out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: 
return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. (Is. 44:22.) 

q. Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, 
and rest yourselves under the tree. (Gen. 18:4.) Well reported of for 
good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged 
strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the 
afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. (I Tim. 5:10.) 
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them 
water, and they washed their feet'; and he gave their asses provender. 
(Gen. 43:24.) So he brought him into his house, and gave provender 
unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink. 
(Jud. 19:21.) 

r. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying 
on a bed: and Jesus, seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, 
Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. (Mat. 9:2.) When 
Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins 
be forgiven thee. (Mk. 2:5.) 

s. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and ac- 
quainted with grief - and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was 
despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:3.) Why doth this man 
thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? (Mk. 2:7.) 

t. But Jesus turned him about; and when he saw her, he said. 
Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And 
the woman was made whole from that hour. (Mat. 9:22.) And he said 
unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and 
be whole of thy plague. (Mk. 5:34.) And Jesus said unto him, Receive 
thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. (Luke 18:42.) For by grace are ye 
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. 
(Eph. 2:8.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed 
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was Mary 
M dalene, and Mary the mother of James and Josec, and the mother 

" -dee's children. (Mat. 27:55, 56.) 

b. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that 



he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the 
shore. (Mat. 13:2.) And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and 
there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into 
a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on 
the land. (Mk. 4:1.) 

c. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but un- 
derstand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not? (Is. 6:9.) That see- 
ing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and 
not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their 
sins should be forgiven them. (Mk. 4:12.) 

d. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like 
unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth 
himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of 
man he was. (Js. 1:23, 24.) 

e. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of 
man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but 
the Spirit of God. (I Cor. 2:11.) Be sober, be vigilant; because your 
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he 
may devour. (I Pet. 5:8.) 

f. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gen- 
tleness, goodness, faith. Meekness, temperance: against such there is 
no law. (Gal. 5:22, 23.) But let patience have her perfect work, that 
ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (Js. 1:4.) 

g. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on 
a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. (Mat. 
5:15.) And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a 
bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? (Mk. 4:21.) 
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, 
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine 
as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may re- 
joice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored 
in vain. (Phil. 2:15, 16.) 

h. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have 
more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away 
even that he hath. (Mat. 13:12.) 

i. While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his 
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Mat. 12:46.) Is

22 U s Now -'it came to pass on a certain day, 
that he went into a ship with his disciples: 
and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the 
other side of the lake. And they launched 
forth. 

23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and 
there came down a storm of wind on the lake; 
and they were filled with water, and were in 
jeopardy. 

24 And they came to him, and awoke him, 
saying, Master, master, we perish. . /i 'Then he 
arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging 
of the water: and they ceased, and there was 
a calm. 

25 And he said unto them, Where is your 
faith? And 'they being afraid wondered, say- 
ing one to another, What manner of man is 
this! for he commandeth even the winds and 
water, and they obey him. 

26 H 3 And '"they arrived at the country of 
the Gad'a-renes, which is over against Gal'i- 
lee. 

27 And when he went forth to land, there 
met him out of the city a certain 'man, which 
had devils long time, and ware no clothes, 
neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 

28 When he saw Je'sus, "he cried out, and 
fell down before him, and with a loud voice 
said, What have I to do with thee, Je'§us, thou 
Son of God most high? I beseech thee, tor- 
ment me not. 

29 (For he had commanded the unclean spir- 
it to come out of uhe man. For oftentimes it 
had caught him: and he was kept bound with 
chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, 
and was driven of the devil into the wilder- 
ness.) 

30 And Je'§us asked him, saying, What is 
thy name? And he said, Legion: because many 
devils were entered into him. 

31 And they besought him that he would 
not command them to go out "into the deep. 

32 And there was there an Pherd of many 
swine feeding on the mountain : and they be- 
sought him that he 'would suffer them to enter 
into them. And ^he suffered them. 

33 Then went the devils out of the man, and 
entered into the swine: and the herd ran vio- 
lently down a steep place into the lake, and 
were choked. 

34 When they that fed them saw what was 
done, they fled, and went and told it in the 
city and in the country. 



S. In vs. 22-25 Jesus stills the 
tempest; parallel to Mat. S:18-27 
and Mark 4:35-41. 



9. Vs. 26-40, the demoniac of Ga- 
dara healed. 



10. In vs. 41-56 Jesus raises the 
daughter of Jairus and heals the 
woman with an issue of blood; par- 
allel to Mat. 9:10-26 and Mark 5: 
22-43. 



35 Then they went out to see what was done; 
and came to Je'§us, and found the man, out of 
whom the devils were departed, sitting at the 
feet of Je'§us, clothed, 'and in his right mind: 
and they were afraid. 

36 They also which saw it told them by what 
means he that was possessed of the devils was 
healed. 

37 H Then the whole multitude of the coun- 
try of the Gad'a-rene§ round about besought 
• s 'him to depart from them; for they were taken 
with great fear : and he went up into the ship, 
and returned back again. 

38 Now 'the man out of whom the devils 
were departed besought him that he might be 
with him: but Je'§us sent him away, saying, 

39 Return to thine own house, and shew how 
great things God hath done unto thee. And he 
went his way, and published throughout the 
whole city how great things Je'§us had done 
unto him. 

40 And it came to pass, that, when Je'§us 
was returned, the people gladly received him: 
for they were all waiting for him. 

41 If K And, "behold, there came a man named 
Ja-i'rus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: 
and he fell down at Je'§us' feet, and besought 
him that he would come into his house: 

42 For he had one only daughter, about 
twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But 
as he went the people thronged him. 

43 \ And 'a woman having an issue of blood 
twelve years, which had spent all her living 
upon physicians, neither could be healed of 
any, 

44 Came behind him, and "'touched the bor- 
der of his garment: and immediately her issue 
of blood stanched. 

45 And Je'§us said, Who touched me? When 
all denied, Pe'ter and they that were with him 
said, Master, the multitude throng thee and 
press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 

46 And Je'§us said, Somebody hath touched 
me: for I perceive that x virtue is gone out of 
me. 

47 And when the woman saw that she was 
not hid, she came trembling, and falling down 
before him, she declared unto him before all 
the people for what cause she had touched him, 
and how she was healed immediately. 

48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of 
good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; 
go in peace. 



not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his 
brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? (Mat. 13:55.) For 
neither did his brethren believe in him. (Jno. 7:5.) 

j. And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 
(Mat. 8:23.) And the same day, when the even was come, he saithi 
unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. (Mk. 4:35.) 

k. He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid 
bringeth he forth to light. (Job 28:11.) And said, Hitherto shalt thou 
come, but no further; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? (Job 
38:11.) The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for 
ever. (Ps. 29:10.) Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their 
waves, and the tumult of the people. (Ps. 65:7.) Thou rulest the raging 
of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. (Ps. 89:9.) 
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. (Ps. 
107:29.) 

1. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world 
stand in awe o£ him: For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, 
and it stood fast. (Ps. 33:8, 9.) And they feared exceedingly, and said 
one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the 
sea obey him? (Mk. 4:41.) And he went up unto them into the ship; 
and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond 
m'easure, and wondered. (Mk. 6:51.) 

m. And when he was come to the other side, into the country of 
the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out 
of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 
(Mat. 8:28.) And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the 
country of the Gadarenes. (Mk. 5:1.) 

n. And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel pos- 
sessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters 
much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, 
saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show 
unto us the way of salvation. (Acts 16:16, 17.) That at the name of 
Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, 
and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that 
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:10, 11.) 

0. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set 
a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till a 
thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a 
fittle season. (Rev. 20:3.) 



p. And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, 
and the bat. (Dt. 14:18.) 

q. With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver 
are his. (Job 12:16.) 

r. He that committetb sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from 
the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that 
he might destroy the works of the devil. (I Jno. 3:8.) 

s. But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit 
from the Lord troubled him. (I Sam. 16:14.) Saying, Let us alone; 
what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come 
to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. (Mk. 
1:24.) But the natural man receiveth not the- things of the Spirit of 
God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can they know them, 
because they are spiritually discerned. (I Cor. 2:14.) 

t. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his 
holy name. (Ps. 103:1.) What shall I render unto the Lord for all his 
benefits toward me? (Ps. 116:12.) And when he was come into the 
ship, he that had been possessed of the devil prayed him that he might 
be with him. (Mk. 5:18.) 

u. While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a 
certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now 
dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. (Mat. 
9:18.) And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, 
Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet. (Mk. 5:22.) 

v. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the 
time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; 
all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her 
separation: she shall be unclean. (Lev. 15:25.) And, behold, a woman, 
which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind 
him, and touched the hem of his garment. (Mat. 9:20.) 

w. Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and 
laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter 
passing by might overshadow some of them. (Acts 5:15.) So that from 
his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the 
diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. 
(Acts 19:12.) 

x. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone 
out of him, turned him about in the press, and said. Who touched my 
clothes? (Mk. 5:30.) And the whole multitude sought to touch him; 
for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. (Luke 6:19)

49 U While he yet spake, there cometh one 
from the ruler of the synagogue's house, say- 
ing to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not 
the Master. 

50 But when Je'§us heard it, he answered 
him, saying, Fear not: ^believe ,J only, and she 
shall be made whole. 

51 And when he came into the house, he 
suffered no man to go in, save Pe'ter, and 
Jame§, and John, and the father and the moth- 
er of the maiden. 

52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he 
said, Weep not; she is not dead, z but sleepeth. 

53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing 
that she was dead. 

54 And he put them all out, and took her by 
the hand, and called, saying, Maid, aa arise. 

55 And her spirit came again, and she arose 
straightway: and he commanded to give her 
meat. 

56 And her parents were astonished: but 
hi he charged them that they should tell no man 
what was done. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 Christ sendeth his apostles to preach: 17 

feedeth five thousand: 22 foretelleth his 

passion. 28 The transfiguration. 37 He 

healeth the lunatic: 46 commendeth humility. 

1 1 Then a he called his twelve disciples to- 
gether, 6 and gave them power and authority 
over all devils, and to cure diseases. 

2 And c he sent them to preach the kingdom 
of God, and to heal the sick. 

3 And ^he said unto them, Take nothing 
for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, nei- 
ther bread, neither money; neither have two 
coats apiece. 

4 And c whatsoever house ye enter into, there 
abide, and thence depart. 

5 And ' whosoever will not receive you, when 
ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust 
from your feet for a testimony against them. 

6 And they departed, and went through the 
towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every 
where. 

7 % ""Now Her'od the tetrarch heard of all 
that was done by him: and he was perplexed, 
because that it was said of some, that John 
was risen from the dead; 

8 And of some, that E-lT'as had appeared; 
and of others, that one of the old prophets was 
risen again. 

9 And Her'od said, John have I beheaded: 
but who is this, of whom I hear such things? 
And he desired to see him. 

10 H 3 And the apostles, when they were re- 
turned, told him all that they had done. And 



11. It is to be observed that Je- 
sus changed the order of procedure 
in the miracles. First he allowed 
them to precede faith, that faith 
might be created; but now faith 
must precede the miracle, for he has 
been in the world and the world 
knows of him.

he took them, and went aside privately into 
a desert place belonging to the city called 
Beth-sa'i-da. 

11 And the people, when they knew it, fol- 
lowed him: and he received them, and spake 
unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed 
them that had need of healing. 

12 And when the day began to wear away, 
then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send 
the multitude away, that they may go into the 
towns and country round about, and lodge, 
and get victuals: for we are here in a desert 
place. 

13 But he said unto them, sGive ye them to 
eat. And they said, ''We have no more but five 
loaves and two fishes; except we should go and 
buy meat for all this people. 

14 For they were about five thousand men. 
And he said to his disciples, Make them sit 
down by fifties in a company. 

15 And they did so, and made them all sit 
down. 

16 Then he took the five loaves and the two 
fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed 
them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to 
set before the multitude. 

17 And they ! did eat, and were all filled: 
and there was taken up of fragments that re- 
mained to them twelve baskets. 

18 11 4 And it came to pass, as he was alone 
praying, his disciples were with him: and he 
asked them, saying, Whom say the people that 
I am? 

19 They answering said, John the Bap'tist; 
but some say, E-li'as; and others say, that one 
of the old prophets is risen again. 

20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that 
I am? -'Pe'ter answering said, The Christ of 
God. 

21 And he straitly charged them, and com- 
manded them to tell no man that thing; 

22 5 Saying, The Son of man must suffer 
many things, and be rejected of the elders and 
chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be 
raised the third day. 

23 \ And 7, "he said to them all, // any man 
will come after me, let him deny himself, and 
take up his cross daily, and follow me. 

24 For whosoever will save his life shall 
lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my 
sake, the same shall save it. 

25 For l what is a man advantaged, if he 
gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be 
cast away?

and of my words, of him shall the Son of man 
be ashamed, when he shall come in his own 



y. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the 
wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, 
Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the 
Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall 
ye prosper. (II Chr. 20:20.) Jesus said unto him. If thou canst believe, 
all things are possible to him that believeth. (Mk. 9:23.) 

z. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our 
friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep 
(11). Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had 
spoken of taking of rest in sleep. (Jno. 11:11, 13.) 

aa. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him 
stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. (Luke 
7:14.) 

bb. And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and 
commanded that something should be given her to eat. (Mk. 5:43.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave 
them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all 
manner of sickness, and all manner of disease. (Mat. 10:1.) 

b. Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that believeth on me. the works 
that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; 
because I go unto my Father. (Jno. 14:12.) Then Peter said, SMver and 
gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of 
Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. (Acts 3:6.) 

c. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely 
ye have received, freely give. (Mat. 10:7, 8.) 

d. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, 
and verily thou shalt be fed. (Ps. 37:5.) 

e. And Into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who 
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. (Mat. 10:11.) 



f. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when 
ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 
(Mat. 10:14.) 

g. And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man 
of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears 
of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that 
they may eat. And his servitor said, What! should I set this before an 
hundred men? He said again. Give the people, that they may eat: for 
thus saith the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. (II Ks. 
4:42, 43.) 

h. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? 
or shall all ihe fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice 
them? (Num. 11:22.) 

i. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat 
in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisflest the desire oi' 
every living thing. (Ps. 145:15, lfi.) 

j. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the 
Son of the living God. (Mat. 16:16.) And we believe and are sure that 
thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (Jno. 6:69.) The woman 
saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come 
hither to draw. (Jno. 4:15.) Who is he that overcometh the world, but 
he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (I Jno. 5:5.) 

k. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not 
worthy of me. (Mat. 10:38.) And when he had called the people unto 
him, with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come 
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 
(Mk. 8:34.) 

1. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain tbe whole world, 
and lose his cwn soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his 
soul? (Mat. 16:26.) 

m. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny 
before my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 10:33.)

glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy 
angels. 

27 But "I tell you of a truth, there be some 
standing here, which shall not taste of death, 
till they see the kingdom of God. 

28 II °And °it came to pass about an eight 
days after these sayings, he took Pe'ter and 
John and Jame§, and went up into a mountain 
to pray. 

29 And as he prayed, Pthe fashion of his 
countenance was altered, and his raiment was 
white and glistering. 

30 And, behold, there talked with him two 
men, which were Mo'§e§ and E-li'as: 

31 Who appeared in ^glory, and spake of his 
'decease which he should accomplish at Je-ru'- 1 
sa-lem. 

32 But Pe'ter and they that were with him | 
were heavy with sleep: and when they were 
awake, they saw his glory, and the two men 
that stood with him. 

33 And it came to pass, as they departed 
from him, Pe'ter said unto Je'§us, Master, it 
is good for us to be here : and let us make three 
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Mo'§e§, 
and one for E-li'as : not knowing what he said. 

34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, 
and overshadowed them: and they feared as 
they entered into the cloud. 

35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, 
saying, 'This is my beloved Son : s 'hear him. 

36 And when the voice was past, Je'§us was 
found alone. And they kept it close, and told 
no man in those days any of those things 
which they had seen. 

37 H 8 And 'it came to pass, that on the next 
day, when they were come down from the hill, 
much people met him. 

38 And, behold, a man of the company cried 
out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon 
my son: for he is mine only child. 

39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he sud- 
denly crieth out; and it teareth him that he 
foameth again, and bruising him hardly depart- 
eth from him. 

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him 
out; and they could not. 

41 And Je'§us answering said, O faithless 
and perverse generation, how long shall I be 
with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son 
hither. 

42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil 
threw him down, and tare him. And Je'§us 
rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the 
child, and delivered him again to his father. 

43 II "And they were all amazed at the 
mighty power of God. But while they won-

dered every one at all things which Je'§us did, 
he said unto his disciples, 

44 "Let these sayings sink down into your 
ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered 
into the hands of men. 

45 But they understood not this saying, and 
it was hid from them, that they perceived it 
not : and they feared to ask him of that saying. 

46 H "Then there arose a reasoning among 
them, which of them should be greatest. 

47 And Je'§us, perceiving the thought of 
their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 

48 And said unto them, c Whosoever shall re- 
ceive this child in my name receiveth me: and 
whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that 
sent me: w for he that is least among you all, 
the same shall be great. 

49 II And a John answered and said, Master, 
we saw one casting out devils in thy name; 
and we forbad him, because he followeth not 
with us. 

50 And Je'§us said unto him, Forbid him 
not: a for he that is not against us is for us. 

51 II "And it came to pass, when the time 
was come that z he should be received up, he 
stedfastly set his face to go to Je-ru'sa-lem, 

52 And sent messengers before his face: and 
they went, and entered into a village of the 
Sa-mar'i-tan§, to make ready for him. 

53 And they did not receive him, because 
his face was as though he would go to Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. 

54 And when his disciples James, and John 
saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we 
command fire to come down from heaven, and 
consume them, even as ""E-li'as did? 

55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and 
said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye 
are of. 

56 For the hl 'Soyi of man is not 12 come to 
destroy men's lives, but to ™save them. And 
they went to another village. 

57 H And it came to pass, that, as they went 
in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, 
I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 

58 And Je'§us said unto him, Foxes have 
holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the 
Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 

59 And cc he said unto another, Follow me. 
But 13 he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and 
bury my father. 

60 Je'§us said unto him, Let the dead bury 
their dead: but go thou and preach the king- 
dom of God. 

61 And another also said, Lord, da l will fol- 
low thee; but let me "first go bid them fare- 
well, which are at home at my house. 



n. Verily I say unto you. There be some standing here which shall 
not taste of death, till they see the Son- of man coming in his kingdom. 
(Mat. 16:28.) 

0. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here which shall 
not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. 
(Mat. 16:28.) 

p. And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai 
with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down 
from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone 
while he talked with him (29). And the children of Israel saw the face 
of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil 
upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him. (Ex. 34:29, 35.) 

q. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like 
unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able 
even to subdue all things unto himself. (Phil. 3:21.) When Christ, who 
is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 
(Col. 3:4.) 

r. And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in 
whom I am well pleased. (Mat. 3:17.) For he received from God the 
Father honor and glory, when there came such a, voice to him from the 
excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 
(II Pet. 1:17.) 

s. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the 
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken. 
(Dt. 18:15.) For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall the 
Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him 
shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. (Acts 
3:22.) 

t. And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a 
certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying. (Mat. 17:14.) 

u. And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son 
of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men. (Mat. 17:22.) 

v. He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, 



receiveth him that sent me. (Mat. 10:40.) And whoso shall receive one 
such little child in my name receiveth me. (Mat. 18:5.) Whosoever shall 
receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever 
shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. (Mk. 9:37.) 

w. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And 
whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble 
himself shall be exalted. (Mat. 23:11, 12.) 

x. And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his 
young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. (Num. 
11:28.) And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out 
devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbade him, be- 
cause he followeth not us. (Mk. 9:38.) 

y. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not 
with me scattereth abroad. (Mat. 12:30.) Wherefore I give you to un- 
derstand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus ac- 
cursed; and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy 
Ghost. (I Cor. 12:3.) 

z. So then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received 
up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (Mk. 16:19.) Until 
the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost 
had given commandments unto the apostles whom he bad chosen. (Acts 
1:2.) 

aa. And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a 
man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee 
and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed 
him and his fifty. (II Ks. 1:10.) 

bb. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; 
but that the world through him might be saved. (Jno. 3:17.) And if 
any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came 
not to judge the world, but to save the world. (Jno. 12:47.) 

cc. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first 
to go and bury my father. (Mat. 8:21.) 

dd. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I

is fit for the kingdom of God. 

CHAPTER 10. 

1 Christ sendeth'out at once seventy disciples: 
17 admonisheth them to be humble: 25 
teacheth the lawyer hoiv to attain eternal 
life: 41 reprehendeth Martha, and com- 
mendeth Mary her sister. 

1 'After these things the Lord appointed 
other seventy also, and °sent them two and 
two before his face into every city and place, 
whither he himself would come. 

2 Therefore said he unto them, h The harvest 
truly is great, but the labourers are few: c pray 
ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he 
would send forth labourers into his harvest. 

3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as 
lambs among ivolves. 

4 Carry ^neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes : 
and salute no man by the way. 

5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first 
say, Peace be to this house. 

6 And if the son of peace be there, your 
peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn 
to you again. 

7 And in c the same house remain, eating and 
drinking such things as they give: for the 
labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from 
house to house. 

8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and 
they receive you, eat such things as are set be- 
fore you: 

9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say 
unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh 
unto you. 

10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and 
they receive you not, go your, ways out into 
the streets of the same, and say, 

11 Even fthe very dust of your city, which 
cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: 
notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the 
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 

12 But I say unto you, that ttt shall be more 
tolerable in that day for Sod'om, than for thai 
city.

done in you, they had a great while ago i re-

14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre 
and Si'don at the judgment, than for you. 

15 And thou, Ca-per'na-um, which art ex- 
alted Ho heaven, k shalt be thrust down to hell. 

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he 
that despiseth you despiseth me; l and he that 
despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. 

17 f 2 And the seventy returned again with 
joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject 
unto us through thy name. 

18 And he said unto them, m I 'beheld Sa'tan 
? 'as lightning fall from heaven. 

19 Behold, "I give unto you power to tread 
on serpents and scorpions, and over all the 
power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any 
means hurt you. 

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that 
the spirits are subject unto you; but rather re- 
joice, because your "names are *written in 
heaven. 

21 H In that hour Je'sus rejoiced in spirit, 
and said, / thank thee, O Father, Lord of 
heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these 
things from the wise and prudent, and hast 
revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; 
for so it seemed good in thy sight. 

22 All things Pare delivered to me of my 
Father: and no iman knoweth who the Son is, 
but the Father; and who the Father is, but the 
Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. 

23 If And he turned him unto his disciples, 
and said privately, 'Blessed are the eyes which 
see the things that ye see: 

24 For I tell you, that many prophets and 
kings have desired to see those things which 
ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear 
those things which ye hear, and have not heard 
them. 

25 lf 5 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, 
and "tempted him, saying, Master, what shall 
I do to inherit eternal life? 

26 He said unto him, What is written in the 
law? how readest thou? 

27 And he 'answering said, s Thou shalt love 
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with 
all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and 



pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. 
And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 
(I Ks. 19:20.) 

ee. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God 
in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:14.) Now the just shall live by faith: but if 
any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Heb. 10:38.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth 
by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits. (Mk. 6:7.) 

b. Then saith he unto his disciples. The harvest truly is plenteous, 
but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that 
he will send forth laborers into his harvest. (Mat. 9:37, 38.) 

c. Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may 
have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you. (II Thess. 3:1.) 

d. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor 
scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves; 
for the workman is worthy of his meat. (Mat. 10:9, 10.) 

e. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it 
is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. (Mat. 10:11.) 

f. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when 
ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 
(Mat. 10:14.) But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and 
came unto Iconium. (Acts 13:51.) 

g. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of 
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. (Mat. 
10:15.) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge 
of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certa'.n 
fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour 
the adversaries. (Heb. 10:26. 27.) 

h. Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, 
whose words thou canst not understand: surely, had I sent thee to 
them, they would- have hearkened unto thee. (Ez. 3:6.) 

i. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and 
put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 
(Jon. 3:5.) 

j. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower whose 
top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we- be scat- 
tered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (Gen. 11:4.) For thou 
hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my 
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the 
congregation, in the sides of the north. (Is. 14:13.) 

k. When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, 
with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the 
earth, in plaei de olate of old, with them that go down to the pit, 



that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living. 
(Ez. 26:20.) 

1. That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the 
Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which 
hath sent him. (Jno. 5:23.) 

m. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this 
world be cast out. (Jno. 12:31.) Of judgment, because the prince of this 
world is judged. (Jno. 10:11.) He that committeth sin is of the devil; 
for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of 
God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (I 
Jno. 3:8.) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called 
the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out 
into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Rev. 12:9.) 

n. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, 
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall 
recover. (Mk. 16:18.) And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt 
no harm. (Acts 28:5.) 

o. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin — ; and if not, blot me, I 
pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. (Ex. 32:32.) Let 
them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with 
the righteous. (Ps. 69:28.) And it shall come to pass, that he that is 
left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, 
even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem. (Is. 4:3.) 
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stand- 
eth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, 
such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and 
at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found 
written in the book. (Dan. 12:1.) 

p. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given 
unto me in heaven and in earth. (Mat. 28:18.) The Father loveth the 
Son, and hath given all things into his hand. (Jno. 3:35.) As thou hast 
given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as 
many as thou hast given him. (Jno. 17:2.) Wherefore God also hath 
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, 
and things in earth, and things under the earth. (Phil. 2:9, 10.) 

q. No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son, which 
is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (Jno. 1:18.) No 
man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: 
and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jno. 6:44.) 

r. But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they 
hear. (Mat. 13:16.) 

s. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and 
with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Dt. 6:5.1

with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thy-

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast an- 
swered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 

29 But he, willing to 'justify himself, said 
unto Je'§us, And who is my "neighbour? 

30 And Je'sus answering said, A "certain 
man tvent dozen from Je-ru sa-lem to Jer'icho, 
and fell among thieves, which stripped him of 
his raiment, and wounded him, and departed 
leaving him half dead. 

31 And by chance there came down a certain 
priest that way: and when he saw him, he 
passed by on the other side. 

32 And likewise a w Levlte, when he was at 
the place, came and looked on him, and passed 
by on the other side. 

33 But a certain n Sa-mdr'i-tan, u as he jour- 
neyed, came where he was: and when he saw 
him, he had compassion on him, 

34 And went to him, and bound up his 
wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him 
on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, 
and took care of him. 

35 And on the morrow ivhen he departed, he 
took out 12 two pence, and gave them to the host, 
and said unto him, Take care of him; and 
whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come 
again, I will repay thee. 

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, 
u was neighbour unto him that fell among the 
thieves? 

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on 
him. Then said Je'§us unto him, "Go, and do 
thou likewise. 

38 I Now it came to pass, as they went, that 
he entered into a certain "village : and a cer- 
tain woman named Mar'tha received him into 
her house. 

39 And she had a sister called Ma'ry, which 
also sat at Je'§us' feet, and heard his word. 

40 But Mar'tha was 10 cumbered 'about much 
serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost 
thou not care that my sister hath left me to 
serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 

41 And Je'sus answered and said unto her, 
Mar'tha, Mar'tha, thou art careful and trou- 
bled about many things: 

42 But one thing is needful: and Ma'ry hath 
chosen that good part, which shall not be taken 
away from her. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 Christ teacheth to pray. 14 He, casting out 
a dumb devil, rebuketh the blasphemous 
Pharisees: 28 and sheweth who are blessed: 
29 and preacheth to the people. 

1 ^nd it came to pass, that, as he was pray- 
ing in a certain place, when he ceased, one of 
his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to 
pray, as John also taught his disciples. 

2 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, 
say, "Our Father which art in heaven, Hal- 
lowed be thy name. h Thy kingdom come. Thy 
ivill be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 

3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 

4 And forgive us our sins; for we c also for- 
give every one that is indebted to us. And 



8. Any one to whom we have the 
opportunity of doing good. 



10. A teacher. 



11. One the Jews had excommu- 
nicated; a by-word among them. 



12. Wages for about two days' 
labor. 



13. Compelling the lawyer to an- 
swer himself. 



14. "Go," thus the lawyer is Im- 
mediately placed upon the divine 
platform of love. 



15. Bethany. 



10. Burdened, disturbed, distract-

taught how to pray.

forms of prayer. 



3. In vs. 5-S is the parable of the 
importunate borrower.

d lead us not into temptation; but deliver us 
from evil. 

5 3 And he said unto them, Which of you 
shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at 
midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me 
three loaves; 

6 *For a friend of mine in his journey is 
come to me, and I have nothing to set before 
him? 

7 And he *from within shall answer and say, 
Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my 
children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and 
give thee. 

8 / say unto you, e Though he will not rise 
and give him, because he is his friend, yet be- 
cause of his ^importunity he will rise and give 
him as many as he needeth. 

9 "And fl say unto you, Ask, and it shall be 
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and 
it shall be opened unto you. 

10 For every one that asketh receiveth; ayid 
he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knock- 
eth it shall be opened. 

11 // a son shall ask bread of any of you 
that is a father, will ye give him a stone? or 
if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a 
serpent? 

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer 
him a scorpion? 

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give 
good gifts unto your children: how much more 
shall your heavenly Father give the Ho'ly 
Sptr'it to them that ask him? 

14 1[ s And he was casting out a devil, and it 
was dumb. And it came to pass, when the 
devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the 
people wondered. 

15 But some of them said, He casteth out 
devils through Be-el'ze-bub the chief of the 
devils. 

16 And others, tempting him, sought of him 
a sign from heaven. 

17 But she, knowing their thoughts, said 
unto them, Every kingdom divided against it- 
self is brought to desolation; and a house divi- 
ded against a house falleth. 

18 If Sd'tan also be divided against himself, 
how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say 
that I cast out devils through Be-el'ze-bub. 

19 And if I by Be-el'ze-bub cast out devils, 
by whom do your sons cast them out? there- 
fore shall they be your judges. 

20 But if I with the finger of God cast out 
devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come 
upon you. 

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his 
palace, his goods are in peace: 

22 But h when a stronger than he shall come 
upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from 
him all his armour wherein he trusted, and 
divideth his spoils. 

23 He that is not with me is against me: and 
he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 

24 "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a 
man, he wplketh through dry places, seeking 
rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return 
unto my house whence I came out. 



t. Aud he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves be- 
fore men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly 
esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. (Lu. 16:15.) 

u. Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, 
being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the 
Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. (Jno. 4:9.) 

v. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried 
careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the 
Lord. (I Cor. 7:32.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of 
us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our Father, our 
Redeemer: thy name is from everlasting. (Is. 63:16.) 

b. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for 
the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters 
cover the sea. (Is. 11:9.) 

c. And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one 
another, even as God for Christ's sake hath "forgiven you. (Eph. 4:32.) 



d. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for 
God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. (Js. 
1:13.) 

e. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought 
always to pray, and not to faint. (Lu. 18:1.) 

f. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask 
any thing according to his will, he heareth us. (I Jno. 5:14.) 

g. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them. Every king- 
dom* divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or 
house divided against itself shall not stand. (Mat. 12:25.) And if a 
kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. (Mk. 
3:24.) And needeth not that any should testify of man: fo'r he knew 
what was in man. (Jno. 2:25.) 

h. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he 
shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his 
soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he 
bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Is. 
53:12.) And, having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show 
of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (Col. 2:15.)

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept 
and garnished. 

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven 
other spirits more wicked than himself; and 
they enter in, and dwelt there: and Hhe last 
state of that man is worse than the first. 

27 % And it came to pass, as he spake these 
things, a certain woman of the company lifted 
up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is 
the womb that bare thee, and the paps which 
thou hast sucked. 

28 But he said, Yea ^'rather, 3 'blessed are 
they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 

29 If u And k'when the people were gathered 
thick together, he began to say, This is an evil 
generation: they seek a sign; and there shall 
no sign be given it, but the sign of Jo'nas the 
prophet. 

30 For as Jo'nas ivas a sign unto the Nin'e- 
vites, so shall also the Son of man be to this 
generation. 

31 The l queen of the south shall rise up in 
the judgment with the men of this generation, 
and condemn them: for she came from the ut- 
most parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of 

.Sol'o-mon; and, behold, a '"greater than Solo- 
mon is here. 

32 The men of Nin'e-ve shall rise up in the 
judgment with this generation, and shall con- 
demn it: for "they repented at the preaching 
of Jo'nas; and, behold, a greater than Jo'nas 
is here. 

33 No °man, when he hath lighted a candle, 
putteth it in a secret place, neither under a 
bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which 
come in may see the light. 

34 The Hight of the body is the eye: there- 
fore when thine eye is single, thy whole body 
also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, 
thy body also is full of darkness. 

35 Take heed therefore that the light which 
is in thee be not darkness. 

36 // thy whole body therefore be full of 
light, having no part dark, the whole shall be 
full of light, as when the bright shining of a 
candle doth give thee light. 

37 11 "And as he spake, a certain Phar'i-see 
besought him to dine with him: and he went 
in, and sat down to meat. 

38 And when the Phar'i-see saw it, he mar- 
velled that he had not first washed before din- 
ner. 

39 And ethe-Lord said "unto him, Now do ye 
Phar'i-sees make clean the outside of the cup 
and the platter; but your inward part is full 
of ravening and wickedness. 



10. While Christ accepts the 
blessing which the woman would con- 
fer upon his mother, yet he tells 
her there is an equal blessing for 
her. 



11. In ts. 20-32 Christ repeats the 
illustrations in the Sermon on the 
Mount. See Mat. 5:15, 16. 



12. In ts. 37-51. while dining 
with a Pharisee, Jesus utters woes 
on scribes. Pharisees and lawyers. 
One of the scribes, who has been 
waging a war on Christ for his dis- 
regard of the ceremonial washing, 
inyites the Saviour to a dinner, also 
inviting other guests like-minded 
unto himself. Jesus accepts the 
challenge and omits the contested 
ablution. 



13. The Pharisees are all amazed, 
whereupon Christ immediately un- 
folds to them their thoughts and re- 
bukes their unbeliefs. 



40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which 
is without make that which is within also? 

41 'But rather give alms of such things as 
ye have; omd, behold, all things are clean unto 
you. 

42 But s woe unto you, Phar'i-sees! for ye 
tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, 
and pass over judgment and the love of God: 
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave 
the other undone. 

43 Woe unto you, Phar'i-sees! for ye love 
the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and 
greetings in the markets. 

44 t Woe unto you, scribes and Phar'i-sees, 
hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear 
not, and the men that walk over them are not 
aivare of them. 

45 If Then answered one of the lawyers, and 
said unto him, Master, thus saying thou re- 
proachest us also. 

46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye law- 
yers! u for ye lade men with burdens grievous 
to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the 
burdens with one of your fingers. 

47 Woe r unto you! for ye build the sepul- 
chres of the prophets, and your fathers killed 
them. 

48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the 
deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed 
them, and ye build their sepulchres. 

49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, w l 
will seyid them prophets and apostles, and some 
of them they shall slay and persecute: 

50 That the blood of all the prophets, which 
was shed from the foundation of the world, 
may be required of this generation; 

51 From the blood of A'bel unto the blood of 
Zach-a-ri'as, which perished between the altar 
and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall 
be required of this generation. 

52 x Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have 
taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered 
not hi yourselves, and them that were entering 
in ye hindered. 

53 And as he said these things unto them, 
the scribes and the Phar'i-see§ began to urge 
him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak 
of many things: 

54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch 
something out of his mouth, that they might 
accuse him. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 Christ preacheth to his disciples to avoid 
hyjoocrisy : 13 warneth the people to be- 
ware of covetousness. 22 We must not be 
over careful of earthly things. 36 We must 



i. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, 
Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto 
thee. (Jno. 5:14.) For it is impossible for those who were once en- 
lightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made par- 
takers of the Holy Ghost (4). If they shall fall away, to renew them 
again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of 
God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (Heb. 6:4, 6.) For if, after 
the} 7 have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge 
of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, 
and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 
(II Pet. 2:20.) 

j. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the 
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is 
in heaven. (Mat. 7:21.) But whoso looketh into the perfect law of 
liberty, and eontinueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a 
doer of the work, this man shall be blest in his deed. (Js. 1:25.) 

k. Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, say- 
ing, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said 
unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and 
there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. 
(Mat. 12:38, 39.) 

1. And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, con- 
cerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard ques- 
tions. (I Ks. 10:1.) 

m. For, unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) Whose are the fathers, and of whom as 
concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. 
Amen. (Rom, 9:5.) 

n. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, 
and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of 
them. (Jon. 3:5.) 

0. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but 



on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 
(Mat. 5:15.) 

p. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, 
thy whole body shall be full of light. (Mat. 6:22.) 

q. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make 
clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but w-ithin they are full 
of extortion and excess. (Mat. 23:25.) 

r. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the 
poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that 
thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 
(Is. 58:7.) Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, 
and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by show- 
ing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 
(Dan. 4:27. j 

s. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe 
of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters 
of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, 
and not to leave the other undone. (Mat. 23:23.) 

t. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are iike 
unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are 
within full of dead men's hones, and of all uncleanness. (Mat. 23:27.) 

u. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay 
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves .will not move them with 
one of their fingers. (Mat. 23:4.) 

v. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye 
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the right- 
eous. (Mat. 23:29.) 

w. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and 
scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them 
shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to 
city. (Mat. 23:34.) 

x. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut 
up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, 
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (Mat. 23:13.)

be ready at a knock to open to our Lord. 
41 Christ's ministers are to look for persecu- 
tion. 

1 'In the "mean time, when there were gath- 
ered together an innumerable multitude of peo- 
ple, insomuch that they trode one upon another, 
he began to say unto his disciples first of all, 
b Beware ye of the leaven of the Phar'i-see§, 
which is hypocrisy. 

2 For c there is nothing covered, that shall 
not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be 
known. 

3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in 
'darkness shall be heard in the light; and that 
which ye have spoken in the ear in "closets 
shall be proclaimed upon the house tops. 

4 3 And d I say unto you my friends, Be not 
afraid of them that kill the body, and after 
that have no more that they can do. 

5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall 
fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed 
c hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto 
you, Fear him. 

6 Are not five sparroios sold for two ' farth- 
ings, and not one of them is forgotten before 
God? 

7 But even the very hairs of your head are 
all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of 
more value than many sparrows. 

8 Also I ?say unto you, Whosoever shall con- 
fess me before men, him shall the Son of man 
also confess before the angels of God: 

9 But he that denieth me before men shall 
be denied before the angels of God. 

10 And ^whosoever shall speak a word 
against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven 
him: but unto him that blasphemeth against 
the Ho'ly Ghost it shall not be forgiven. 

11 And hvhen they bring you unto the syna- 
gogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take 
ye no thought how or what thing ye shall an- 
siver, or what ye shall say: 

12 For the 'Ho'ly Ghost shall teach you in 
the same hour what ye ought to say. 

13 H 4 And one of the company said unto him, 
Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the 
inheritance with me. 

14 And he said unto him, k Man, who made 
me a judge or a divider over you? 

15 And he said unto 5 them, 'Take heed, and 
beware of covetousness : for a man's life con- 
sisteth not in the abundance of the things 
which he possesseth. 



Ch. 12. A. D. 33. 



1. Ch. 12 is a sermon delivered 
by Christ to the multitude, warn- 
ing them against hypocrisy of the 
scribes and Pharisees. As all will 
be revealed in the judgment day. he 
urges them to embrace the religion 
he brings them. 



2. In secret, in private, stealth- 



ily. 



3. In vs. 4-12 Christ tells the 
multitude not to fear the scribes and 
Pharisees who may persecute the 
body, but God who is able to judge 
and' destroy souls. 



4. In vs. 12-21 one of the cov- 
etous members of the company 
makes a request of the Master and 
gets his answer in the parable of 
the rich fool. 



5. The multitude around him. 



6. In what manner is not record- 
ed, but so clearly expressed that 
even the fool understood it. 



7. One whose aim never rises 
above his riches; one who sees noth- 
ing in his possessions but self-grati- 
fication. 



S. That is. he does not possess the 
things which God values, viz., a 
pure and contrite heart, love to 
God and man whirh he might pos- 
sess if he would, together with tem- 
poral riches as did Moses. David and 
Job. who were rich in this worldls 
goods and also rich toward God. 



0. Vs. 22-34 are addressed to his 
disciples. 



16 And he spake a parable unto them, say- 
ing, The ground of a certain rich man brought 
forth plentifully : 

17 And he thought within himself, saying, 
What shall I do, because I have no room where 
to bestow my fruits? 

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull 
down my barns, and build greater; and there 
will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, "'thou 
hast much goods laid up for many years; take 
thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 

20 But ''God said unto him, Thou fool, this 
night "thy soul shall be required of thee: "then 
whose shall those things be, which thou hast 
provided? 

21 So is he that layeth up "treasure for him- 
self, Pand is not rich ^toward God. 

22 11 °And he said unto his disciples, There- 
fore I say unto you, Take no thought for your 
life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, 
what ye shall put on. 

23 The life is more than meat, and the body 
is more than raiment. 

24 Consider the ravens: for they neither 
sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse 
nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much 
more are ye better than the fowls? 

25 And tvhich of you with taking thought 
can add to his stattire one cubit? 

26 // ye then be not able to do that thing 
tvhich is least, why take ye thought for the 
rest? 

27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they 
toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, 
that Sol'o-mon in all his glory was not arrayed 
like one of these. 

28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is 
to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into 
the oven; hew much more will he clothe you, 
ye of little faith? 

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or 
xvhat ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful 
mind. 

30 For all these things do the nations of the 
world seek after: and your Father knoweth 
that ye have need of these things. 

31 1f But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; 
and lall these things shall be added unto you. 

32 Fear not, little flock; for r it is your Fa- 
ther's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 

33 Sell s that ye have, and give alms; provide 
yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure 



Chapter 12. 

a. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven 
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. (Mat. 16:6.) And they reasoned 
among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. (Mk. 8:16.) 

b. Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the 
leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Saddu- 
cees. (Mat. 16:12.) 

c. Pear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall 
not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known. (Mat. 10:26.) For 
there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested: neither was any 
thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. (Mk. 4:22.) 

d. Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall 
say, A confederacy: neither fear ye their fear, nor he afraid. Sanctify 
the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be 
your dread. (Is. 8:12, 13.) Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with 
thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. (Jer. 1:8.) 

e. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for 
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Rev. 1:18.) 

f. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall 
not fall on the ground without your Father. (Mat. 10:29.) 

g. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I con- 
fess also before my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 10:32.) If we 
suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny 
us. (II Tim. 2:12.) 

h. If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he 
shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. 
There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. (I Jno. 
5:16.) 

i. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye 
shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall 
speak. (Mat. 10:19.) Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate 
before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, 
which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. (Lu. 
21:14, 15.) 

j. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee 
what thou shalt say. (Ex. 4:12.) Casting all your care upon him; for 
he careth for you. (I Pet. 5:7.) 

k. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom 
were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be 



delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. (Jno. 
18:36.) 

1. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: 
but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. (Prov. 28:16.) 
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such 
things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake 
thee. (Heb. 13:5.) 

m. Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day 
may bring forth. (Prov. 27:1.) If after the manner of men I have fought 
with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? 
let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die. (I Cor. 15:32.) Ye have lived 
in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your 
hearts, as in a day of slaughter. (Js. 5:5.) 

n. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to 
the grave. (Job 21:13.) For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though 
he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? (Job 27:8.) 

o. Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are dis- 
quieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather 
them. (Ps. 39:6.) As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them 
not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in 
the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. (Jer. 17:11.) 

p. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither 
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through 
nor steal. (Mat. 6:20.) Laying up in store for themselves a good founda- 
tion against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 
(I Tim. 6:19.) Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the 
poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he 
hath promised to them that love him? (Js. 2:5.) 

q. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who 
can be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) For bodily exercise profiteth little; but 
godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that 
now is, and of that which is to come. (I Tim. 4:8.) 

r. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, 
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the 
wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father; 
for so it seemed good in thy sight. (Mat. 11:25, 26.) 

s. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what 
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven;

in the heavens that failetk not, where no thief ! 
approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 

34 For where your treasure is, there will 
your heart be also. 

35 l "Let i your loins be girded about, and 
your lights burning; 

36 And ye yourselves like unto men that 
wait for their lord, when he will return from 
the wedding; that when he cometh and knock- 
eth, they may open unto him immediately. 

37 Blessed "are those servants, whom the 
lord when he cometh shall find ivatching : ver- 
ily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, 
and make them to sit down to meat, and will 
come forth and serve them. 

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, 
or come in the third watch, and find them so, 
blessed are those servants. 

39 And this know, that if the goodman of 
the house had known what hour the thief 
icould come, he ivould have watched, and not 
have suffered his house to be broken through. 

40 Be ye v therefore ready also: for the Son 
of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 

41 r Then Pe'ter said unto him, Lord, speak- 
est thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 

- 42 And the Lord said, ,c Who a then is that 
faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall 
make ruler over his household, to give them 
their portion of meat in due season? 

43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord 
when he cometh shall find so doing. 

44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will 
make him ruler over all that he hath. 

45 But and if that servant say in his heart, 
My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin 
to beat the menservants and maidens, and to 
eat and drink, and to be drunken; 

46 The lord of that servant will come in a 
day when he looketh not for him, and at an 
hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in 
sunder, and will appoint him his portion with 
the unbelievers. 

47 And x ihat servant, which knew his lord's 
will, and prepared not himself, neither did ac- 
cording to his will, shall be beaten with many 
stripes. 

48 But x Jhe that knew not, and did commit 
things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with 
few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is 
given, of him shall be much required: and to 
whom men have committed much, of him they 
will ask the more. 

49 r "/ am come to send fire on the earth; 
and what will I, if it be "already kindled? 

50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; 
and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 



10. In vs. 35-4S Jesus again turns 
his attention to the multitude, and 
warns them of the second coming, 
and counsels them to be ready for 
the hour they know not. 



11. Whosoever he is. 
he. 



blessed is 



12. That is. the purpose of his 
first coming was to destroy sin and 
redeem them from its curse. 



13. That is. his enemies had al- 
ready kindled the fire of wrath 
against him.

taught that they must repent or per- 
ish. 



2. A fountain southeast of Jeru-

The Jew. 



51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace 
on earth? I tell you, Nay; -but rather divi- 
sion : 

52 For aa from henceforth there shall be five 
in one house divided, three against two, and 
two against three. 

53 The father shall be divided against the 
son, and the son against the father; the mother 
against the daughter, and the daughter against 
the mother; the mother in laiv against her 
daughter in law, and the daughter in law 
against her mother in law. 

54 If And he said also to the people, When 
ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straight- 
way ye say, There cometh a shower; and so 
it is. 

55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye 
say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 

56 66 Fe hypocrites, ye can discern the face 
of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that 
ye do not discern this time? 

57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge 
ye not what is right? 

58 f When ce thou goest with thine adversary 
to the magistrate, as dd thou art in the way, give 
diligence that thou mayest be delivered from 
him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the 
judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer 
cast thee into prison. 

59 / tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, 
till thou hast paid the very last ee mite. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 Christ preacheth repentance upon the pun- 
ishment of the Galilseans. 6 The fruitless 
fig tree. 11 He healeth the crooked woman: 
24 and exhorteth to enter in at the strait 
gate, 31 and reproveth Herod and Jerusa- 
lem. 

1 ] There were present at that season some 
that told him a of the Gal-i-lae'an§ whose blood 
Pi'late had mingled with their sacrifices. 

2 And Je'sus answering said unto them, Sup- 
pose 6 ?/e that these Gal-i-lse' ans were sinners 
above all the Gal-i-l&'an§, because they suffered 
such things? 

3 / tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye 
shall all likewise perish. 

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower 
in 2 Si-lo'am fell, and slew them, think ye that 
they were sinners above all men that dwelt in 
J e-ru' sa-lem? 

5 / tell you, Nay: but, except c ye repent, ye 
shall all likewise perish. 

6 1f 3 He spake also this parable; d A i certain 
man had a fig Hree planted in his vineyard; 



and come and follow me. (Mat. 19:21.) And sold their possessions and 
goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (Acts 2:45.) 

t. Stand .therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and 
having on the breastplate of righteousness. (Bph. 6:14.) Wherefore gird 
up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace 
that is to be brought unto vou at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 
1:13.) 

u. Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; 
go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (Mat. 
24:26.) 

v. Watch therefore; for ye know neither the day nor the hour 
wherein the Son of man cometh. (Mat. 25:13.) Take ye heed, watch and 
pray: for ye know not when the time is. (Mk. 13:33.) 

w. His lord said unto him. Well done, thou good and faithful serv- 
ant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler 
over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Mat. 25:21.) 

x. But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be 
born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and 
that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Num. 15:30.) If I had 
not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they 
have no cloak for their sin. (Jno. 15:22.) 

. And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are 
forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he wist 
it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. (Lev. 5:17.) Who 
was before a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and injurious: but I ob- 
tained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. (I Tim. 1:13.) 

z. For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against 
her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's 
enemies are the men of his own house. (Mic. 7:6.) So there was a 
division among the people because of him. (Jno. 7:43.) There was a 
division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. (Jno. 10:19.) 

aa. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and 
the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her 
mother-in-law. (Mat. 10:35.) 



bb. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and 
will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. (I Cor. 1:19.) 

cc. Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in 
the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame. (Prov. 
25:8.) Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way 
with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver tbee to the judge, and 
the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Mat. 
5:25.) 

dd. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time 
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods nf great waters they 
shall not come nigh unto him. (Ps. 32:6.) Seek ye the Lord while he 
may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. (Is. 55:6.) 

ee. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two 
mites, which make a farthing. (Mk. 12:42.) Who shall be punished 
with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from 
the glory of his power. (II Thess. 1:9.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, 
and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even 
as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. (Acts 5:37.) 

b. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his 
hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer" 
whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to 
live. (Acts 28:4.) 

c. Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one accord- 
ing to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from 
all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. (Ez. 18:30.) 

d. And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and 
planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, 
and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring 
forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. (Is. 5:2.) And when 
he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it. and found nothing thereon, 
but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward 
for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (Mat. 21:19.) 



Ch. 14

and he "came and sought 'fruit thereon, and 
found none. 

7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vine- 
yard, Behold, these c three years I come seeking 
fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it 
down; ivhy cumbereth it the ground? 

8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let 
fit alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, 
and dung it: 

9 And if s it bear fruit, well: and if "not, 
then after that thou shalt cut it down. 

10 ''And he was teaching in one of the syna- 
gogues on the sabbath. 

11 If And, behold, there was a woman which 
had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and 
was bowed together,' and could in no wise lift 
up herself. 

12 And when Je'sus saw her, he called her 
to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art 
loosed from thine infirmity. 

13 And he laid his hands on her: and imme- 
diately she was made straight, and glorified 
God. 

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered 
with indignation, because that Je'sus had 
healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the 
people, There are six days in which men ought 
to work : in them therefore come and be healed, 
and #not on the sabbath day. 

15 The Lord then answered hirrr, and said, 
Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on 
the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the 
stall, and lead him away to watering? 

16 And ought not this woman, n being a 
daughter of A' bra-ham, whom Sa'tan hath 
bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from 
this bond on the sabbath day? 

17 And when he had said these things, all 
his adversaries were ashamed : and all the peo- 
ple rejoiced for all the glorious things that 
were done by him. 

18 II "Then 'said he, Unto what is the king- 
dom of God like? and whereunto shall I re- 
semble it? 

19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which 
a man took, and cast into his garden; and it 
grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls 
of the air lodged in the branches of it. 

20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I 
liken the kingdom of God? 

21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and 
hid in three measures of meal, till the whole 
was leavened. 

22 And he went through the cities and vil- 
lages, teaching, and journeying toward Je-ru'- 
sa-lem. 



6. The owner, Jehovah. 



7. The result of true moral 
tions. 



8. Typifying those surrounded 
with every possible restraint, encour- 
agement and support. Salvation de- 
pends upon that — "if" a person wills. 
All is voluntary; in short, man is a 
free moral agent. 



9. In vs. 10-21 the woman infirm 
for 18 years is healed on the Sab- 
bath. 



10. Vs. 1S-30 contain many mis- 
cellaneous teachings addressed to the 
multitude. 



11. The Gentiles, the last to be 
called, have become first and the 
Jews, the first to be called, have be- 
come last, because of their refusal 
to accept the invitation. 



12. The day that Christ answered 
the question recorded in v. 23. 



Ch. 14. A. D. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-24 Jesus heals the man 
sick of dropsy and uses the occasion 
to rebuke the Pharisees for their 
strict hypocritical construction of the 
Sabbath laws. 



23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there 
few that be saved? And he said unto them, 

24 II Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for 
hnany, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, 
and shall not be able. 

25 k When once the master of the house is 
risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye be- 
gin to stand without, and to knock at the door, 
saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall 
answer and say unto you, I know you not 
whence ye are: 

26 Then shall ye begin to . say, We l have 
eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast 
taught in our streets. 

27 m But he shall say, I tell you, I know you 
not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye 
workers of iniquity. 

28 There "shall be weeping and gnashing of 
teeth, "when ye shall see A'brd-hdm, and I'§aac, 
and Ja'cob, and all the prophets, in the king- 
dom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 

29 And Hhey shall come from the east, and 
from the west, and from the north, and from 
the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of 
God. 

30 And, ibehold, there are last which "shall 
be first, and there are first which shall be last. 

31 U The same 12 day there came certain of 
the Phar'i-sees, saying unto him, Get thee out, 
and depart hence: for Her'od will kill thee. 

32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell 
that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do 
cures to day and to morrow, and the third day 

1 'shall be perfected. 

33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to 
morrow, and the day following: for it cannot 
be that a prophet perish out of Je-ru'sa-lem. 

34 O Je-ru'sa-lem, Je-ru'sa-lem, which kill- 
est the prophets, and stonest them that are 
sent unto thee; how often would I have gath- 
ered thy children together, as a hen doth gath- 
er her brood under her wings, and ye would 
not! 

35 Behold, s your house is left unto you des- 
olate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall t not 
see me, until the time come when ye shall say, 
u Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER 14. 

2 Christ healeth the dropsy on the sabbath: 
7 teacheth humility. 15 The parable of the 
great supper. 

1 *And it came to pass, as he went into the 
house of one of the chief Phar'i-see§ to eat 
bread on the sabbath day, that they watched 
him. 



e. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and 
long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to 
repentance? (Rom. 2:4.) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 
as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not will- 
ing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II 
Pet. 3:9.) 

f. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch 
and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not 
thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: 
wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? (Joel 
2:17.) 

g. And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. 
And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? 
that they might accuse him. (Mat. 12:10.) 

h. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this 
house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. (Lu. 19:9.) 

i. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom 
of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and 
sowed in his field. (Mat. 13:31.) 

j. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath 
not attained to the law of righteousness. (Rom. 9:31.) For they being 
ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own 
righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness 
of God. (Rom. 10:3.) 

k. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time 
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they 
shall not come nigh unto him. (Ps. 32:6.) Seek ye the Lord while he 
may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. (Is. 55:6.) 

1. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, 
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. 
(Tit. 1:16.) 

m. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart 
from me, ye that work iniquity. (Mat. 7:23.) 



n. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer dark- 
ness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 8:12.) 

0. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and 
west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the 
kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 8:11.) 

p. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth; and thou shalt 
spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the 
south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be 
blessed. (Gen. 28:14.) 

q. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. 
(Mat. 19:30.) So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be 
called, but few chosen. (Mat. 20:16.) But many that are first shall be 
last; and the last first. (Mk. 10:31.) 

r. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are 
all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of 
their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Heb. 2:10.) Though he were 
a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. (Heb. 
5:8.) 

s. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries 
unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 
And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell 
therein shall be astonished at it. (Lev. 26:31, 32.) 

t. Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out mv 
hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, 
and would none of my reproof: I also v/ill laugh at your calamity; I 
will mock when your fear cometh. (Prov. 1:24-26.) Then said Jesus 
again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in 
your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come (21). I said therefore unto you, 
that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye 
shall die in your sins. (Jno. 8:21, 24.) 

u. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will 
exalt thee. (Ps. 118:28.) And the multitudes that went before, and that 
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he that 
cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest! (Mat. 21:9.)

2 And, behold, there was a certain man be- 
fore him which had the dropsy. 

3 And Jesus answering spake unto the law- 
yers and Phar'i-sees, saying, "Is it lawful to 
heal on the sabbath day? 

4 And they held their peace. And he took 
him, and healed him, and let him go; 

5 And answered them, saying, b Which of 
you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a 
pit, and will not straightway pull him out on 
the sabbath day? 

6 And they could not answer him again to 
these things. 

7 If And he put forth a 3 parable to those 
which were bidden, when he marked how they 
chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, 

8 When thou art bidden of any man to a 
wedding, sit not doivn in the highest room; 
lest a more honourable man than thou be bid- 
den of him; 

9 And he that bade thee and him come and 
say to thee, Give this man place; and thou be- 
gin with shame to take the lowest room. 

10 But c when thou art bidden, go and sit 
down in the lowest room; that when he that 
bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, 
Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have 
worship in the presence of them that sit at 
meat with thee. 

11 For d iuhosoever exalteth himself shall be 
abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be 
exalted. 

12 U Then said he also to him that bade him, 
When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call 
not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy 
kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they 
also bid thee again, and a recompencs be made 
thee. 

13 But when thou makest a feast, call c the 
poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 

14 And th'ou shalt be blessed; for they can- 
not recompense thee: for thou shalt be recom- 
pensed fat the resurrection of the just. 

15 If 4 And when one of them that sat at meat 
with him heard these things, he said unto him, 
-"Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the king- 
dom of God. 

16 Then ''said he unto him, A certain man 
made a great supper, and bade many: 

17 And i sent his servant at supper time to 
say to them that were bidden, Come; for all 
things are now ready. 



2. In vs. 7-11 is the parable 
teaching humility. 



3. A spiritual truth represented 
by natural symbols. 



4. In vs. 15-24 is the account of 
the parable of the marriage feast. 



5. That is. there was hardly a 
single one of the hierarchy who' ac- 
cepted the gospel invitation. 



7. The publicans and sinners will 
go into heaven accepted before the 
proud, self-righteous Pharisees. 



S. Jesus now states the difficul- 
ties of professing Christ. 



18 And they all with one * consent began to 
make excuse. The first said unto him, >l have 
bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go 
and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 

19 And another said, I have bought five yoke 
of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee 
have me excused. 

20 And another said, I have married a wife, 
and therefore I cannot come. 

21 So that servant came, and shewed *his 
lord these things. Then the master of the 
house being angry said to his servant, Go ,c out 
quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, 
and bring in hither the 'poor, and the ^ maimed, 
and the ''halt, and the 'blind. 

22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as 
thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 

23 And the lord said xinto the servant, Go 
out into the highways and hedges, and l compel 
them to come in, that my house may be filled. 

24 For I say unto you, m That none of those 
men which were bidden shall taste of my sup- 
per. 

25 % And there went great multitudes with 
him : and he turned, and said unto them, 

26 // "any man come to me, and hate not his 
father, and mother, and wife, and children, and 
brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life 
also, he cannot be my disciple. 

27 And vjhosoever doth not bear his cross, 
and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 

28 For °which of you, intending to build a 
tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the 
cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the founda- 
tion, and is not able to finish it, all that behold 
it begin to mock him, 

30 Saying, This man began to build, and 
was not able to finish. 

31 Or what king, going to make war against 
another king, sitteth not down first, and con- 
sulteth whether he be able with ten thousand 
to meet him that cometh against him with 
twenty thousand? 

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great 
way off, he sendeth Pan ambassage, and desir- 
eth conditions of peace. 

33 So likewise, whosoever «/ie be of you that 
forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be 
my disciple. 

34 If Salt r is good: but if the salt have lost 
his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 



Chapter 14. 

a. And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And 
they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that 
they might accuse him. (Mat. 12:10.) 

b. If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his 
burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with 
him. (Ex. 23:5.) Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall 
down by the- way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help 
him to lift them up again. (Dt. 22:4.) The Lord then answered him, and 
said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his 
ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? (Lu. 
13:15.) 

c. The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before 
honor is humility. (Prov. 15:33.) For better it is that it be said unto 
thee, Come up hither, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the 
presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. (Prov. 25:7.) 

d. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high 
looks. (Ps. 18:27.) A man's pride shall bring him iow: but honor shall 
uphold the humble in spirit. (Prov. 29:23.) Whosoever shall exalt him- 
self shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 
(Mat. 23:12.) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God re- 
sisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (Js. 4:6.) 

e. Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the 
sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for 
this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the 
Lord is your strength (10). And all the people went their way to eat, 
and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because 
they had understood the words that were declared unto them. (Neh. 

12.) 

f. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, 
some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 
(Dan. 12:2.) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand. 
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you 
from the foundation of the world. (Mat. 25:34.) And have hope toward 
God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrec- 
tion of the dead, both of the just and unjust. (Acts 24:15.) 

g. And he saith unto me. Write, Blessed are they which are called 
unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These 
an the true sayings of God. (Rev. 19:9.) 

h. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made 
a marriage" for his son. (Mat. 22:2.) 



i. She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath 
also furnished her table (2). Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the 
wine which I have mingled. (Prov. 9:2, 5.) 

j. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 
Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Mat. 6:24.) 

k. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was neces- 
sary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but 
seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting 
life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46.) 

1. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets. 
(Prov. 1:20.) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God 
did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled 
to God. (II Cor. 5:20.) 

m. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken 
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Mat. 
21:43.) 

n. If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daugh- 
ter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, 
entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou 
hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers (6). Thou shalt not consent unto 
him, nor hearken unto him: neither shall thine eye pity him, neither 
shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him. (Dt. 13:6, 8.) 

0. Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field: 
and afterwards build thine house. (Prov. 24:27.) Ye also, as lively 
stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up 
spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 2:5.) 

p. Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good 
shall come unto thee, (job 22:21.) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a 
time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: be- 
hold, now is the accepted time: behold, now is the day of salvation.) (II 
Cor. 6:2.) 

q. Then answered Peter and said unto him. Behold, we have for- 
saken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus 
said unto them. Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, 
in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his 
glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes 
of Israel. (Mat. 19:27, 28.) 

r. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, 
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to 
be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (Mat. 5:13.) Salt is

CHAPTER 15. 
1 The parable of the lost sheep: 8 of the 
piece of silver: 11 and of the prodigal son. 

1 'Then drew near unto him all the publicans 
and "sinners for to hear him. 

2 And the Phar'I-see§ and scribes mur- 
mured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, 
''and eateth with them. 

3 % = And he spake this parable unto them, 
saying, 

4 What ( man of you, having an hundred 
sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave 
the ninety and nine, in the wilderness, and go 
after that which is lost, until he find it? 

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it 
on his shoulders, rejoicing. 

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth to- 
gether his friends and neighbours, saying unto 
them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my 
sheep ^which was lost. 

I I say unto you, that likewise 3 joy shall be 
in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, c more 
than over ninety and nine just persons, which 
need no repentance. 

8 *\\*Either what "woman having ten pieces 
of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light 
a candle, and sweep the house, and seek dili- 
gently till she find it? 

9 And when she hath found it, she calleth 
her friends and her neighbours together, say- 
ing, Rejoice with me; for I have found the 
piece which I had lost. 

10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in 
the presence of the angels of God over one 
sinner that repenteth. 

II % 7 And he said, A certain man had two 
sons : 

12 And the younger of them said to his 
father, Father, give me the portion of goods 
that falleth to me. And he divided unto them 
his living. ' 

13 And not many days after the younger 
son gathered all together, and took his journey 
into a ffar country, and there wasted his sub- 
stance with riotous living. 

14 And when he had spent s all, there arose 
a mighty famine in that land; and he began to 
be in ivant. 

15 And he went and joined himself to a citi- 
zen of that country; and he sent him into his 
fields to feed swine. 

16 And he ivould fain have filled D /ns belly

1. In ch. 15 is an account of three 
parables to illustrate Christ's ac- 
ceptance ol publicans and sinners. 



2. In vs. 3-7 is the parable of the 
lost sheep. 



3. An assurance that the inhabit- 
ants of heaven are deeply interested 
in the doings of the earth. 



4. In vs. 8-10 is the parable of 
the lost piece of money. Who was 
the self-forgotten and unconscious 
sinner ? 



That is, the church. 



G. The world. 



7. In vs. 11-32 is the parable of 
the prodigal son, representing the 
willful wandering sinner. It might 
also be called "the parable of the 
elder brother." for the brother of the 
prodigal gives us an example of how 
not to act toward returned sinners.

with the husks that the swine did eat: and no 
man gave unto him. 

17 And when he came to himself, he said, 
How many hired servants of my father's have 
bread enough and to spare, and I perish with 
hunger! 

18 / will arise and go to my father, and will 
say unto him, Father, I 'Jhave sinned against 
heaven, and before thee, 

19 And am no more worthy to be called thy 
son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 

20 And he w arose, and came to his father. 
But h when he was yet a great way off, his 
father saw him, and had compiassion, and ran, 
and Jell- on his heck, and kissed him. 

21 And the son said unto him, Father, I 
have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, 
and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 

22 But the father said to his servants, Bring 
forth 'the best robe, and put it on him; and 
put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 

23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill 
it; and let us eat, and be merry: 

24 For 'this my son was dead, and is alive 
again; he was lost, and is found. ]; And they 
began to be merry. 

25 Now his elder son was in the field: and 
as he came and drew nigh to the house, he 
heard music and dancing. 

26 And he called one of the servants, and 
asked ivhat these things meant. 

27 And he said unto him, Thy by-other is 
come; and thy father hath killed the fatted 
calf, because he hath received him safe and 
sound. 

28 And l he ^was angry, and would not go 
in: therefore came his father out, and intreated 
him. 

29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, 
these many years do I serve thee, neither trans- 
gressed I at any time thy commandment: and 
m yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might 
make m.erry with my friends: 

30 But as soon as this thy son was come, 
which hath devoured thy living ivith harlots, 
thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 

31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever 
■with me, and all that I have is thine. 

32 n It was meet that we should make merry, 
and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and 
is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

good; but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? 
Have salt in yourselves, and hare peace one with another. (Mk. 9:50.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the 
Lord God; and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 
(Ez. 18:23.) This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, 
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am 
chief. (I Tim. 1:15.) 

h. Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat 
with them. (Acts 11:3.) For before that certain came from James, 
he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew 
and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 
(Gal. 2:12.) 

c. How think ye? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of 
them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth 
into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? (Mat. 
18:12.) 

d. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people 
of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 
(I Pet. 2:10.) 

e. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet 
is not washed from their filthiness. (Prov. 30:12.) 

f. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as 
God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,' 
and their foolish heart was darkened. (Rom. 1:21.) For we ourselves 
also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts 
and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one 
another. (Tit. 3:3.) 

g. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much 
as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be 
merciful to me a sinner. (Lu 18:13.) 

h. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have 
compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I 



not forget thee. (Is. 49:15.) For the promise is unto you, and to your 
children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God 
shall call. (Acts 2:39.) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes 
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ (13). And came and 
preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 
(Eph. 2:13, 17.) 

i. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man 
which had not on a wedding garment. (Mat. 22:11.) For as many of 
you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (Gal. 3:27.) 
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean 
and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (Rev. 
19:8.) 

j. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and 
sins. (Eph. 2:1.) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and 
arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. (Eph. 5:14.) 
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated 
us into the kingdom of his dear Son. (Col. 1:13.) But Jesus said unto 
him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. (Mat. 8:22.) But 
she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. (I Tim. 5:6.) 

k. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion 
with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain 
joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Is. 35:10.) 

1. And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of 
the circumcision contended with him. (Acts 11:2.) 

m. And when they had received it, they murmured against the 
goodman of the house, saying, These last have wrought but one hour, 
and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden 
and the heat of the day. (Mat. 20:11, 12.) 

n. And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy: as it is 
written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and 
sing unto thy name. And again he saith. Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with 
his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him,

1 1 And he said also unto his disciples, There 
icas a certain rich man, which had a steward; 
and the same was accused unto him that he 
had wasted his goods. 

2 And he called him, and said unto him, 
How is it that I hear this of thee? give an 
"account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest 
be no longer steward. 

3 Then the steward said "within himself, 
What shall I do? for my lord taketh aivay from 
me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am 
ashamed. 

4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am 
put out of the stewardship, they may receive 
me into their houses. 

5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors 
unto him, and said unto the first, How much 
owest thou unto my lord? 

6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. 
And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit 
down quickly, and write fifty. 

7 Then said he to another, And how much 
oivest thou? And he said, An hundred meas- 
ures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take 
thy bill, and write fourscore. 

8 And the lord commended the unjust steiv- 
ard, because he had done wisely: for the chil- 
dren of this world are in their generation wiser 
than b the children of light. 

9 And I say unto you, c Make to yourselves 
friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; 
that, when ye fail, they may receive you into 
everlasting habitations. 

10 z He a that is faithful in that which is least 
is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust 
in the least is unjust also in much. 

11 // therefore ye have not been faithful in 
the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to 
your trust the e true riches? 

12 And if ye have not been faithful in that 
which is another man's, who shall give you 
that which is your own? 

13 ^ No f servant can serve two masters: for 
either he will hate the one, and love the other; 
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the 
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

14 4 And the Phar'i-sees also, who were cov- 
etous, heard all these things: and they derided 
him. 



Ch. 16. A. D, 33. 



1. In this ch. Christ teaches the 
parable of the unjust steward and of 
the rich man and Lazarus, a dis- 
course on the right use of money. 



2. Even the most worldly person 
begins to seriously reflect when he 
feels the approach of death. 



3. In ts. 10-12 Christ states the 
moral of the parable just stated. 



4. Ts. 14-31. teachings concerning 
the law: the parable of the rich man 
and Lazarus. 



5. In ts. 16-1S Christ teaches that 
the law was in force until the com- 
ing of John, since then is the reign 
of both the law and the gospel, each 
of which condemns sin. 



6. Alluding to Herod Antipas. 



7. Not an individual but a class. 
Dives, the name sometimes applied, 
is the Latin for rich man. He is 
condemned not because of his riches 
as Isaac. Jacob. Moses and David 
were all rich men. nnd Moses and 
the prophets tanght that riches were 
a blessing from God: bnt he was 
condemned for his infidelity, hard- 
hearted worldliness. and "shameful 
misuse of wealth." 



S. Meaning God is my help. H- 
Instrating the class for whom they 
have no sympathy. 



9. Hades: here used as the place 
or region of disembodied wicked spir- 
its. 



The eye of the soul. 



11. Parched with the flame of evil 
which it has itself kindled. 



15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which 
justify yourselves before men; but QGod know- 
eth your hearts: for Hhat which is highly es- 
teemed among men is abomination in the sight 
of God. 

16 'The 'law and the prophets were until 
John: since that time the kingdom of God is 
preached, and every man presseth into it. 

17 'And it is easier for heaven and earth to 
pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 

18 Whosoever putteth "away his wife, and 
marrieth another, committeth adultery: and 
whosoever marrieth her that is put away from 
her husband committeth adultery. 

19 H There was a certain 'rich man, which 
was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared 
sumptuously every day: 

20 And there was a certain beggar named 
^Laz'a-rus, which was laid at his gate, full of 
sores, 

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs 
which fell from the rich man's table: more- 
over the dogs came and licked his sores. 

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, 
and f: was carried by the angels into l Abra- 
ham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was 
buried; 

23 And in 'hell he lift up his 10 eyes, being 
in torments, and seeth A'brd-hdm afar off, and 
Laz'a-rus in his bosom. 

24 And he cried and said, Father A'brd-hdm, 
have mercy on me, and send Laz'a-rus, that he 
may dip the tip of his finger in water, and 
™cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this 
flame. 

25 But A'brd-hdm said, Son, m remember 
that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good 
things, and likewise Laz'a-rus evil things: but 
now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 

26 And beside all this, between us and you 
there is a "great gulf fixed: so that they which 
would pass from hence to you cannot; neither 
can they pass to us, that would come from 
thence. 

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, fa- 
ther, that thou wouldest send him to my fa- 
ther's house: 

28 For I have five brethren; that he may 
"testify unto them, lest they also come into this 
place of torment.

and' he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the 
Gentiles trust. (Rom. 15:9-12.) 
Chapter 16. 

a. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret 
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) But I 
sav unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall 
give account thereof in "the day of judgment. (Mat. 12:36.) So then 
every one of us shall give account of himself to God. (Rom. 14:12.) 
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (I 
Cor. 4:2.) 

b. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the 
children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did 
hide himself from them. (Jno. 12:36.) For ye were sometimes dark- 
ness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. 
(Eph. 5:S.) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the 
day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (I Thess. 5:5.) 

c. Wherefore, king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and 
break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing 
mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 
(Dan. 4:27.) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where 
moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. 
(Mat. 6:19.) But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, be- 
hold, all things are clean unto you. (Lu. 11:41.) 

d. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful 
servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee 
ruler over manv things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Mat. 
25:21.) 

e. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace 
given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches 
of Christ. (Eph. 3:S.) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the 
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest 
be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear: and 
anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see. (Rev. 3:18.) 

f. Xo man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the 
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Mat. 6:24.) 

g. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but estab- 
lish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. (Ps. 
7:9.5 I the Lord search the heart, I try' the reins, even to give every 
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 
(Jer. 17:10.) And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches 
shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I 



will give unto every one of you according to. your works. (Rev. 2:23.) 
But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the 
height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not 
as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord 
looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) Every way of a man is right in his 
own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. (Prov. 21:2.) 

h. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, 
or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the 
LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appear- 
ance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) Ye adulterers 
and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is en- 
mity with God? whosoever therefore w r ill be a friend of the world is the 
enemy of God. (Js. 4:4.) 

i. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of 
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the 
Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. (Mat. 11:12, 13.) 

j. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall 
wax old like a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and 
they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and thy years shall 
have no end. (Ps. 102:26, 27.) The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: 
but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (Is. 40:8.) But the word 
of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the 
Gospel is preached unto you. (I Pet. 1:25.) 

k. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for 
them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) Hearken, my be- 
loved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in 
faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that 
love him? (Js. 2:5.) 

1. And I say unto you. That many shall come from the east and 
west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the 
kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 8:11.) 

m. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to 
the grave. (Job 21:13.) But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have 
received your consolation. (Lu. 6:24.) 

n. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the 
presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. (II Thess. 1:9.) 

o. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying. 
Save yourselves from this untoward generation. (Acts 2:40.) And they, 
when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned 
to Jerusalem, and preached the Gospel in many villages of the Samar- 
itans. (Acts 8:25.) And when they had appointed him a day, there 
came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded ana testified 
the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of th9

29 A'bra-ham saith unto him, They have 
I'Mo'ses and the prophets; let them hear them. 

30 And he said, Nay, father A'bra-ham: but 
if one went unto them from the dead, they will 
repent. 

31 And he said unto him, If they hear, not 
Mo'ses and the prophets, ''neither ivill they be 
persuaded, though one rose from the dead. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 Christ teacheth to avoid occasions of offence. 
3 One to forgive another. 6 The power of 
faith. 7 How we are bound to God, and not 
he to us. 11 He healeth ten lepers. 

1 'Then said he unto ^he disciples, "It is im- 
possible but that offences will come: but ^woe 
unto him, through whom they cornel 

2 It were better for him that a millstone 
were hanged about his neck, and he cast into 
the sea, than that he should offend one of these 
little ones. 

3 If Take heed to yourselves: c If thy brother 
trespass against thee, d rebuke him; and if he 
repent, forgive e him. 

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times 
in a day, and seven times in a day turn again 
to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive 
him. 

5 3 And the apostles said unto the Lord, In- 
crease our faith. 

6 And fthe Lord said, If ye had faith as a 
grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this 
sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, 
and be thou planted in the sea; and it should 
obey you. 

7 But xohich of you, having a servant ploiv- 
ing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and 
by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit 
down to meat? 

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make 
ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, 
Band serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; 
and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 

9 Doth he thank' that servant because he did 
the things that were commanded him? I trow 
not. 

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done 
all those things which are commanded you, say, 
We are ^unprofitable servants: we have done 
that which was our duty to do. 

11 H 4 And it came to pass, as *he went to 
Je-ru'sa-lem, that he passed through the midst 
of Sa-ma'ri-a and Gal'i-lee. 



Ch. 17. A. D. 33. 



1. In ch. 17 Christ teaches his 
disciples regarding forgiveness, faith, 
gratitude and the need of being pre- 
pared for death. 



2. That is. just after the parable 
of ch. 10. 1 



3. In vs. 5-10 Christ teaches the 
power of faith. 



4. In vs. 11-19 is an account of 
cleansing of the 10 lepers, only one 
of whom expressed gratitude. 



5. And a Gentile; proving that 
the power and blessings of faith were 
not limited to the sons of Abraham. 



6. In vs. 20-37 Christ answers the 
Pharisees regarding the coming of 
the kingdom of God and the Son of 

Man. 



After the ascension. 



S. Of their trials. 



12 And as he entered into a certain village, 
there met him ten men that were lepers, which 
stood afar off: 

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, 
Je'§us, Master, have mercy on us. 

14 And when he saw them, he said unto 
them, 'Go shew yourselves unto the priests. 
And it came to pass, that, as they went, they 
were cleansed. 

15 And one of them, when he saw that he 
was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice 
glorified God, 

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giv- 
ing him thanks : and he 7i 'was a 5 Sa-mar'I-tan, 

17 And Je'§us answering said, Were there 
not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 

18 There are not found that returned to 
give glory to God, save this stranger. 

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: 
thy faith hath made thee whole. 

20 H G And when he was demanded of the 
Phar'i-see§, when the kingdom of God should 
come, he answered them and said, The kingdom 
of God cometh not with observation: 

21 Neither shall they say, ho here! or, lo 
there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is 
l within you. 

22 And he said unto the disciples, ~'The m days 
will come, lohen ye shall desire to see one s of 
the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not 
see it. 

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, 
see there: go n not after them, nor follow them. 

24" For as the lightning, that lighteneth out 
of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the 
other part under heaven; so shall "also the Son 
of man be in his day. 

25 But first must he suffer many things, and 
be rejected of this generation. 

26 And as it was in the days of No'e, so 
shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 
. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married 

wives, they were given in marriage, until the 
day that No'e entered into the ark, and the 
flood came, and destroyed them all. 

28 Likewise Palso as it was in the days of 
Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, 
they sold, they planted, they builded, 

29 But the same day that Lot went out of 
Sod'om it rained fire and brimstone from heav- 
en, and destroyed them all. 

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the 
Son of man r Hs revealed. 



Law of Moses, and out of the Prophets, from morning till evening. 
(Acts 2S:23.) For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, 
that he is a debtor to do the whole law. (Gal. 5:3.) 

p. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to 
this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Is. 8:20.) 

q. But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also 
to death; Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, 
and believed on Jesus. (Jno. 12:10, 11.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be 
that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 
(Mat. 18:7.) 

b. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribula- 
tion to them that trouble you. (II Thess. 1:6.) 

c. Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell 
him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou 
hast gained thy brother. (Mat. 18:15.) 

d. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in 
any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him. (Lev. 
19:17.) A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred 
stripes into a fool. (Prov. 17:10.) Brethren, if any of you do err from 
the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth 
the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and 
shall hide a multitude of sins. (Js. 5:19, 20.) 

e. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity 
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. (I Cor. 13:4.) Forbearing one 
another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against 
any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. (Col. 3:13.) 

f. And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily 
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall 
say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall 
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Mat. 17:20.) 

g. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall 
find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and 
make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 
(Lu. 12:37.) 

h. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or 
is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? (Job 22:3.) O 



my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness 
extendeth not to thee. (Ps. 16:2.) They are all gone out of the way, 
they are together become . unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, 
no, not one. (Rom. 3:12.) For though I preach the Gospel, I have 
nothing to glorify of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto 
me, if I preach not the Gospel! (I Cor. 9:16.) 

i. And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should 
be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. (Lu. 
9:51.) And he must needs go through Samaria. (Jno. 4:4.) 

j. This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: 
He shall be brought unto the priest. (Lev. 14:2.) And Jesus saith unto 
him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, 
and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 
(Mat. 8:4.) 

k. And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from 
Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Kamath, and from Sepharvaim, and 
placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: 
and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. (II Ks. 
17:24.) Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well 
that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? (Jno. S:48.) 

1. John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there 
standeth one among you, whom ye know not. (Jno. 1:26.) For in Christ 
Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but 
a new creature. (Gal. 6:15.) 

m. And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-cham- 
ber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will 
come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall 
they fast. (Mat. 9:15.) 

n. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they 
are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 
(I Jno. 4:1.) 

o. Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and onlv 
Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. (I Tim. 6:15.) 

p. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into 
the ark: for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 
(Gen. 7:1.) 

q. To you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus 
shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. (II Thess. 1:7.)

31 In that day, he r which shall be upon the 
house top, and his stuff in the house, let him 
not come down to take it away: and he that is 
in the field, let him likewise not return back. 

32 Remember s L6t's wife. 

33 Whosoever f shall seek to save his life 
shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life 
shall preserve it. 

34 / "tell you, in that night there shall be 
tico men i>i one bed; the one sliall be taken, 
and the other shall be left. 

35 Two women shall be grinding together; 
the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one 
shall be taken, and the other left. 

37 And they answered and said unto him, 
Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where- 
soever the body is, thither ivill the eagles be 
gathered together. 

CHAPTER .18. 
1 The importunate ividoiv. 9 Of the Pharisee 
and the publican. 15 Children brought to 
Christ. 31 He foresheweth his death, 35 
and restoreth a blind man to his sight. 

1 'And he spake a parable Tinto them to this 
end, that men ought ^always to pray, and not 
to faint; 

2 Saying, There was in a city a ?, judge, 
which feared not God, neither regarded man: 

3 And there was a widoiv in that city; and 
she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine 
adversary. 

4 And he would not for a while: but after- 
ward he said withiji himself, Though I fear 
not God, nor regard man; 

5 Yet ^because this widow troubleth me, I 
will avenge her, lest by her continual coming 
she to ear y me. 

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust 
'judge saith. 

7 And c shall not God avenge his own elect, 
which cry day and night unto him, thoxigh he 
bear long with them? 

8 / tell you Hhat he will avenge them 'speed- 
ily. Nevertheless when the Son of man com- 
eth, shall he find faith on the earth? 

9 "And he spake this parable unto certain 
which trusted in themselves that they were 
righteous, and despised others: 

10 Two men went up into the temple to 
pray; the one a Phar'i-see, and the other a 
publican. 

11 The Phar'i-see stood and prayed thus 
with himself, e God, I thank thee, that I am 
not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, 
adulterers, or even as this publican. 



Ch. 18. A. D. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-8 is the parable of the 
unjust judge. This eh., like ch. 17. 
is concerning the second coming of 
Christ. 



2. His disciples. 



4. Appeared to be so because of 
their retributive punishment which 
he allowed to come upon them. 



5. Though no man knoweth when, 
yet "speedily" when measured by 
the chronology of eternity. 



6. In vs. 9-14 is a parable of the 
Pharisee and the publican ; teaching 
humility in prayer. 



7. Trustful, confident, faithful. 



S. The Innocent state before sin. 



12 / fast twice in the week, I give tithes of 
all that I possess. 

13 And the publican, standing fafar off, 
ivould not lift up so much as his eyes unto 
heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God 
be merciful to me a sinner. 

14 I tell you, this man went down to his 
house justified rather than the other: 9 for 
every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; 
and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

15 And ''they brought unto him also infants, 
that he would touch them: but when his dis- 
ciples saw it, they rebuked them. 

16 But Je'sus called them unto him, and 
said, Suffer little children to come unto me, 
and forbid them not: for of such is "'the king- 
dom of God. 

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall 
not receive the kingdom of God as a little 
s child shall in no wise enter therein. 

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, 
Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal 
life? 

19 And Je'sus said unto him, Why callest 
thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, 
God. 

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not 
commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do 

i not bear false witness, i Honour thy father and 
thy mother. 

21 And he said, All these have I kept from 
my youth up. 

22 Now when Je'sus heard these things, he 
said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: 
'sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the 
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: 
and come, folloiv me. 

23 And when he heard this, he was very 
sorrowful: for he was very rich. 

24 And when Je'sus saw that he was very 
sorrowful, he said, 1: How hardly shall they that 
have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through 
a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter 
into the kingdom, of God. 

26 And they that heard it said, Who then 
can be saved? 

27 And he said, The things which are im- 
possible with men are possible with God. 

28 Then Pe'ter said, Lo, we have left all, 
and followed thee. 

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, J There is no man that hath left house, or 
parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for 
the kingdom of God's sake, 

30 Who shall not receive manifold more in 



r. And let him that is on the house-top not go down into the house, 
neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house. (Mk. 13:15.) 

s. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a 
pillar of salt. (Gen. 19:26.) 

t. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever 
will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Mat. 16:25.) He that loveth 
his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall 
keep it unto life eternal. (Jno. 12:25.) 

u. Then we- which are alive and remain shall be caught up together 
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we 
ever be with the Lord. (I Thess. 4:17.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. (Ps. 
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted 

worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand 
before the Son of man. (Lu. 21:36.) Rejoicing in hope: patient in tribu- 
lation: continuing instant in prayer. (Rom. 12:12.) Praying always with 
all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with 
all perseverance and supplication for all saints. (Eph. 6:18.) Continue 
in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving. (Col. 4:2.) 

b. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because 
he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give 
him as many as he needeth. (Lu. 11:8.) 

c. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribula- 
tion to them that trouble you. (II Thess. 1:6.) And they cried with a 
loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not 
judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Rev. 
6:10.) 

d. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and 
will not tarry. (Heb. 10:37.) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one 
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thou- 
sand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 
as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us- ward, not 



willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 
(II. Pet. 3:S, 9.) 

e. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes 
from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your 
hands are full of blood. (Is. 1:15.) Because thou gayest, I am rich, 
and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not 
that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. 
(Rev. 3:17.) 

f. For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities 
have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up: they are 
more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. (Ps. 
40:12.) 

g. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting 
up; and he shall save the humble person. (Job 22:29.) But he giveth 
more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but givetn 
grace unto the humble. (Js. 4:6.) 

h. Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should 
put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 
(Mat. 19:13.) 

i. Honor thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment 
with promise). (Eph. 6:2.) Children, obey your parents in all things: 
for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. (Col. 3:20.) 

j. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where motb 
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. (Mat. 
6:19.) Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the 
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. (I Tim. 6:19.) 

k. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall 
flourish as a branch. (Prov. 11:28.) But they that will be rich fall into 
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which 
drown men in destruction and perdition. (I Tim. 6:9.) 

1. Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen 
him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own chil- 
dren: for they have observed thv word, and kept thy covenant. (Dt 
33:9.)

31 1; Then "he took unto him the twelve, and 
said unto them, Behold, ive go up to Je-ru'sa- 
lem, and all things that are 'written by the 
prophets concerning the Son of man shall be 
accomplished. 

32 For "he shall be delivered unto the Gen- 
tiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully en- 
treated, and spitted on: 

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him 
to death: and the third day lie shall rise again. 

34 And they understood none of these 
things: and this saying was hid from them, 
neither knew they the things which were spo- 
ken. 

35 1f I0 And it came to pass, that as he was 
come nigh unto Jer'i-cho, a certain blind man 
sat by the way side begging : 

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he 
asked what it meant. 

37 And they told him, that Je'sus of Naz'- 
a-reth passeth by. 

38 And he cried, saying, Je'sus, thou son of 
Da'vid, have mercy on me. 

39 And they which went before rebuked him. 
that he should hold his peace : but he cried so 
much the more, Thou son of Da'vid, have 
mercy on me. 

40 And PJe'§us stood, and commanded him 
to be brought unto him : and when he was come 
near, he asked him, 

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do 
unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may 
receive my sight. 

42 And Je'sus said unto him, Receive thy 
sight: ithy faith hath saved thee. 

43 And immediately 'he received his sight, 
and followed him, ^glorifying God: and all the 
people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. 

CHAPTER 19. 

1 Of Zacchseus a publican. 11 The ten pieces 

of money. 28 Christ rideth into Jerusalem 

with triumph: 41 weepeth over it: 45 driv- 

eth the buyers and sellers out of the temple. 

1 'And Je'sus entered and passed through 
=a Jer'i-cho. 

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zac- 
chae'us, which was the chief among the pub- 
licans, and he was rich. 

3 And he sought to see Je'§us who he was;

sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass 
that way. 

5 And when Je'sus came to the place, he 
looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, 
Zdc-chse'us, make haste, and come down; for 
to day I must abide at thy house. 

6 And he made haste, and came down, and 
received him joyfully. 

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, 
saying, 6 That he was gone to be guest with 
a man that is a sinner. 

8 And Zac-chas'us stood, and said unto the 
Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods 1 
give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing 
from any man by false accusation, C I restore 
him 3 fourfold. 

9 And Je'§us said unto him, This day is sal- 
vation come to this house, forsomuch as d he 
also is a son of A'brd-hdm. 

10 For c the Son of man is come to seek and 
to save that which was lost. 

11 4 And as they heard these things, he added 
and spake a parable, because he was nigh to 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and because they thought that 
the kingdom of God should immediately ap- 
pear. 

12 He ^said therefore, A certain nobleman 
went into a far country to receive for himself 
a kingdom, and to return. 

13 And he called his ten servants, and de- 
livered them ten pounds, and said unto them, 
Occupy till I come. 

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a 
message after him, saying, We will not have 
this man to reign over us. 

15 And it came to pass, that when he was 
returned, having received the kingdom, then 
he commanded these servants to be called unto 
him, to whom he had given the money, that he 
might know how much every man had gained 
by trading. 

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy 
pound hath gained ten pounds. 

17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good 
servant: because thou hast been s 'faithful in a 
very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy 
pound hath gained five pounds. 

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also 
over five cities. 

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, 
here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in 
a napkin: 

21 For J 'I feared thee, because thou art an 
austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst 
not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 



m. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the 
devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye 
shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I 
will give thee a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10.) To him that overcometh 
will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcome, and 
am set down with my Father in his throne. (Rev. 3:21.) 

n. And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart 
in the way, and said unto them. (Mat. 20:17.) 

o. And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered 
him to Pontius Pilate the governor. (Mat. 27:2.) And the whole mul- 
titude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. (Lu. 23:1.) The* God of 
Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath 
glorified his Son Jesus; whom he delivered up,' and denied him in the 
presence of Pilate, when he war determined to let him go. (Acts 3:13.) 

p. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto 
his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in 
things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the peo- 
ple. (Heb. 2:17.) 

q. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made 
thee whole. (Lu. 17:19.) 

r. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 
(Ps. 33:9.) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of 
the deaf shall be unstopped. (Is. 35:5.) 

s. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his 
holy name. (Ps. 103:1.) And they were all amazed, and they glorified 
God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things 
today. (Lu. 5:26.) And they glorified God in me. (Gal. 1:24.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the 
foundation thereof in Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates thereof 
in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which 
he spake by Joshua the son of Nun. (I Ks. 16:34.) 

b. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, 
Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? (Mat. 9:11.) But 



their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying. 
Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? (Lu. 5:30.) 

c. If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it: he 
shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. (Ex. 
22:1.) And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, 
and because he had no pity. (II Sam. 12:6.) 

d. And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom 
Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on 
the sabbath day? (Lu. 13:16.) And he received the sign of circum- 
cision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being 
uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe 
though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed 
unto them also: And the father of circumcision to them who are not 
of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith 
of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. (Rom. 
4:11, 12.) Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are 
the children of Abraham. (Gal. 3:7.) 

e. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. (Mat. 
18:11.) This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that 
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 
(I Tim. 1:15.) 

f. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far 
country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his 
goods. (Mat. 25:14.) For the Son of man is as a man taking a far 
journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to 
every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. (Mk. 13:34.) 

g. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: 
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over 
many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Mat. 25:21.) He that 
is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much; and he that 
is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. (Lu. 16:10.) 

h. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, 
I knew thee that thou art an hard man. reaping where thou hast not 
sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed. (Mat. 25:24.) But

22 .4?;d he saith unto him, i Out of thine own 
mouth will I judge thee, thou tricked servant. 
JThou knewest that I was an austere man, 
taking up that I laid not down, and reaping 
that I did not sow: 

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my 
money into the bank, that at my coming I 
might have required mine own icith usury? 

24 And he said unto them that stood by, 
Take from him the pound, and give it to him 
that hath ten pounds. 

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath 
ten pounds.) 

26 For I say unto yon. L 'That unto every one 
which 'hath shall be given; and from him that 
hath °not, even that he 'hath shall be taken 
away from him. 

27 But those mine enemies, which would not 
that I should reign over them, bring hither, 
and slay them before me. 

28 *~ And when he had thus spoken, he went 
before, ascending up to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

29 And 'it came to pass, when he was come 
nigh to Beth'pha-ge and Beth'a-ny, at the 
mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two 
of his disciples, 

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over 
against you; in the which at your entering ye 
shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man 
sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose 
him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because '"the 
Lord hath need of him. 

32 And they that were sent went their way, 
and found even as he had said unto them. 

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the 
owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye 
the colt? 

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of 
him. 

35 And they brought him to Je'sus: "and 
they cast their garments upon the colt, and 
they set Je'sus thereon. 

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes 
in the way. 

37 And when he was come nigh, even now 
at the descent of the mount of Olives, the 
whole multitude of the disciples began to re- 
joice and praise God with a loud voice for all 
the mighty works that they had seen; 

38 Saying, -'Blessed be the King that cometh 
in the name of the Lord : ^peace in heaven, and 
glory in the highest. 

39 And some of the Phar'i-sees from among

1. In vs. 1-20 the chief priests 
question the authority of Christ: his 
answer Is given, also the parable of 
the wicked husbandmen. 



I the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke 
thy disciples, 

40 And he answered and said unto them, I 
tell you that, if these should hold their peace, 
the stones would immediately cry out. 

41 r 7 And when he was come near, he beheld 
the city, and ^wept over it. 

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, 
at least in this thy day, the things which be- 
long unto thy peace! but now they are hid 
from thine eyes. 

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that 
thine enemies shall r cast a trench about thee, 
and compass thee round, and keep thee in on 
every side, 

44 And ''shall lay thee even with the ground, 
and thy children within thee; and they shall 
not leave in thee one stone upon another; be- 
cause Hhou knewest not the time of thy visita- 
tion. 

45 ? And he went into the temple, and began 
to cast out them that sold therein, and them 
that bought; 

46 Saying unto them, "It is written, My 
house is the house of prayer: but v ye have 
made it a den of thieves. 

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But 
the chief priests and the scribes and the chief 
of the people sought to destroy him, 

48 And could not find what they might do: 
for all the people were very attentive to hear 
him. 

CHAPTER 20. 
1 Christ's authority. 9 The parable of the 
vineyard. 19 Of giving tribute to Cmsar. 
27 Christ convinceth the Sadducees that de- 
nied the resurrection. 41 Hoiv Christ is the 
son of David. 

1 1 And it came to pass, that on one of those 
days, as he taught the people in the temple, 
and preached the gospel, the chief priests and 
the scribes came upon him with the elders, 

2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by 
"what authority doest thou these things? or 
who is he that gave thee this authority? 

3 And he answered and said unto them, / 
will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 

4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, 
or of men? 

5 And they reasoned with themselves, say- 
ing, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, 
Why then believed ye him not? 

6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people 



liars, shall have 
brimstone: which 



whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all 
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and 
is the second death. (Rev. 21 :i.) 

i. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy 
mouth hath' testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lord's 
anointed. (II Sam. 1:16.) Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not 
I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee. (Job 15:6.) For by thy words 
thou shalt be justified, and bv thv words thou shalt be condemned. (Mat. 
12:37.) 

j. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful 
servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where 
I have not strawed. (Mat. 25:26.) 

k. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have 
more abundance; but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away 
even that he hath. (Mat. 13:12.) For he that hath, to him shall be 
given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which 
he hath. (Mk. 4:25.) 

1. And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to 
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples. 
(Mat. 21:1.) And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage 
and Bethanv, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his dis- 
ciples. (Mk. 11:1.) 

m. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout. O daughter of Jeru- 
salem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having sal- 
vation: lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an 
ass. (Zeeh. 9:9.) For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, 
though he was rich, vet for vour sakes he became poor, that ye through 
his poverty might be rich. "(II Cor. : 

n. Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it 
under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saving, 
Jehu is king. (II Ks. 9:13.) 

o. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have 
blessed you out of the house of the Lord. (Ps. 118:26.) Behold, your 
house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you. Ye shall not 
see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh 
in the name of the Lord. (Lu. 13:35.) 

p. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward 



men. (Lu. 2:14.) For he is our peace, who hath made both one. and 
hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us. (Eph. 2:14.) 

q. How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, 
Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? 
Mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together. 
(Hos. 11:8.) Jesus wept, (Jno. 11:35.) 

r. And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege 
against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. And thou 
shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy 
speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one 
that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall 
whisper out of the dust. (Is. 29:3, 4.) And when ye shall see Jerusalem 
compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 
(Lu. 21:20.) 

s. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jeru- 
salem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high 
places of the forest. (Mic. 3:12.) 

t. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy 
holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and 
to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteous- 
ness, and to seal up the vision and prophecv. and to anoint the Most 
Holy. (Dan. 9:24.) Blessed be the Lord Go'd of Israel; for he hath 
visited and redeemed his people (68). Through the tender mercy of our 
God, whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. (Lu. 1:68, TS.) 

u. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, 
O Lord, for ever. (Ps. 93:5.) Even them will I bring to my holy moun- 
tain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings 
and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for mine house 
shall be called an house of prayer for all people. (Is. 56:7.) 

v. Is this house. w T hich is called by my name, become a den of 
robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.

will stone us : for they be persuaded that John 
was a prophet. 

7 And they answered, that they 6 could not 
tell whence it was. 

8 And Je'§us said unto them, Neither c tell I 
you by what authority I do these things. 

9 Then began he to speak to the people this 
parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, 
and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into 
a far country for a long time. 

10 And at the season d he sent a servant to 
the husbandmen, that they should give him of 
the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen 
beat him, and sent him away empty. 

11 And again he sent another servant: and 
they beat him also, and entreated him shame- 
fully, and sent him away empty. 

12 And c again he sent a third: and they 
wounded him also, and cast him out. 

13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What 
shall I do? I will send my f beloved son: it 
may be they will reverence him when they see 
him. 

14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they 
reasoned among themselves, saying, This is 
othe heir: come, let us kill him, that the in- 
heritance may be our's. 

15 So they cast, him out of the vineyard, 
and killed him. What therefore shall the lord 
of the vineyard do unto them? 

16 He shall come and destroy these husband- 
men, and shall give the vineyard to others. 
And when they heard it, they said, 'God forbid. 

17 And he beheld them, and said, What is 
this then that is written, h The stone which the 
builders rejected, the same is become the head 
of the corner? 

18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall 
be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it 
will grind him to powder. 

19 1 And the chief priests and the scribes 
the same hour sought to lay hands on him; 
and they feared the people: for they perceived 
that he had spoken this parable against them. 

20 2 And they watched him, and sent forth 
spies, which should feign themselves just men, 
that they might take hold of his words, that 
so they might deliver him unto the power and 
authority of the governor. 

21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we 
know that thou sayest and teach est rightly, 
neither acceptest thou the person of any, but 
teachest the way of God truly: 



2. In vs. 20-40 the Pharisees seek 
to entrap Jesus by their questions 
regarding tribute and the resurrec- 
tion. 



3. The ordinance of marriage shall 
cease in heaven, because there will 
be no deaths there; consequently, the 
purpose for which it was ordained 
having ceased, it has served its pur- 
pose. 



22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto 
Cae'§ar, or no? 

23 But he perceived their craftiness, and 
said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 

24 Sheiv me a penny. Whose image and 
superscription hath it? They answered and 
said, Caspar's. 

25 And he said unto them, Render therefore 
unto Cse'§ar the things which be Cse'sar's, and 
unto God the things which be God's. 

26 And they could not take hold of his words 
before the people: and they marvelled at his 
answer, and held their peace. 

27 If Then came to him certain of the Sad'du- 
cee§, ■'which deny that there is any resurrec- 
tion: and they asked him, 

28 Saying, Master, ^'Mo'^es. wrote unto us, 
If any man's brother die, having a wife, and 
he die without children, that his brother should 
take his wife, and raise up seed unto his 
brother. 

29 There were therefore seven brethren : and 
the first took a wife, and died without children. 

30 And the second took her to wife, and he 
died childless. 

31 And the third took her; and in like man- 
ner the seven also: and they left no children, 
and died. 

32 Last of all the woman died also. 

33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife 
of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 

34 And Je'§us answering said unto them, 
The children of this world marry, and are 
given in marriage: 

35 But they 'which shall be accounted 
worthy to obtain that ivorld, and the resurrec- 
tion from the dead, neither marry, nor are 
given in marriage: 

36 Neither can Hhey die any more: for 
m they are equal unto the angels; and are the 
children of God, being the children of the 
resurrection. 

37 Now that the dead are raised, even Mo'- 
§es shelved at the bush, when he calleth the 
Lord the God of A'bra-ham, and the God of 
I'§aac, and the God of J a' cob. 

38 For n he is not a God of the dead, but of 
the living: for "all live unto him. 

39 11 Then certain of the scribes answering 
said, Master, thou hast well said. 

40 And after that they durst not ask him 
any question at all. 



b. They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not 
the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. (Job 24:13.) But if 
our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. (II Cor. 4:3.) Even 
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and 
signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness 
in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, 
that they might be saved. (II Thess. 2:9, 10.) 

c. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands 
cannot perform their enterprise. He taketh the wise in their own crafti- 
ness; and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. (Job 5:12, 13.) 

d. And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, 
rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, 
and on his dwelling place: but they mocked the messengers of God, and 
despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the 
Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 
36:15, 16.) 

e. Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifledst against 
them by thy Spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: there- 
fore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. (Neh. 9:30.) 

f. Therefore the Lord h'mself shall give you a sign; Behold, a 
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 
(Is. 7:14.) 

. g. Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion. (Ps. 2:6.) 
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government 
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, 
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of 
Peace. (Is. 9:6.) Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born 
of every creature: For by him were all things created that are in heaven, 
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, 
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by 
him, and for him. (Col. 1:15, 16.) 

h. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone 
of the corner. (Ps. 118:22.) Unto you therefore which believe he is 
precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the 
builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. (I Pet. 2:7.) 
i God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is 
written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest 
overcome when thou art judged (4). God forbid: for then how shall God 
judge the world? (6). Do we then make void the law through faith? 



God forbid: yea, we establish the law. (Rom. 3:4, 6, 31.) God forbid. 
How shall we, that are dead io sin, live any longer therein? (2). What 
then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? 
God forbid. (Rom. 6:2, 15.) What shall we say then? Is the law sin? 
God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin but by the law: for I had not 
known lust, except the law had said. Thou shalt not covet (7). Was 
then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that 
it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that 
sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. (Rom. 7:7, 
13.) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I 
then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an 
harlot? God forbid. (I Cor. 6:15.) 

j. But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and 
the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I 
am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of 
the dead I am called in question. (Acts 23:6.) 

k. If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no 
child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: 
her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, 
and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. (Dt. 25:5.) 

1. Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that 
ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also 
suffer. (II Thess. 1:5.) Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which 
have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white; 
for they are worthy. (Rev. 3:4.) 

m. As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear 
the image of the heavenly. (I Cor. 15:49.) Beloved, now are we the 
sons of God; and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know 
that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him 
as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) 

n. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that 
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. (Jno. 11:25.) 
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, 
who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in 
glory. (Col. 3:3, 4.) 

0. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, 
he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead 
indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
(Rom. 6:10, 11.)

41 And he said unto them, pHow say they 
that Christ is Da' via" s son? 

42 And David himself saith in the book of 
Psalms, iThe Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou 
on my right hand, 

43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 

44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is 
he then his son? 

45 11 4 T'hen in the audience of all the people 
he said unto his disciples, 

46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to 
walk in long robes, and love greetings in the 
markets, and the highest seats in the syna- 
gogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 

47 Which 'devour widows' houses, and for a 
shew make long prayers : the same shall receive 
greater damnation. 

CHAPTER 21. 

1 Christ commendeth the poor widow. 5 He 
foretelleth the destruction of the temple, and 
of Jerusalem. 34 He exhorteth them to be 
watchful. 

1 a And he looked up, "and saw the rich men 
casting their gifts into the treasury. 

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow 
casting in thither two 2 mites. 

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, 
b that this poor widow hath cast in more than 
they all: 

A. For all these have of their abundance cast 
in unto the offerings of God: but she of her 
penury hath cast in all the living that she had. 

5 If And as some spake of the 3 temple, how it 
was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he 
said, 

6 As for these things which ye behold, the 
days will come, in the which Hhere shall not 
be left one stone upon another, that shall not 
be thrown down. 

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but 
when shall these things be? and what sign will 
there be when these things shall come to pass? 

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not de- 
ceived: for many shall come in my name, say- 
ing, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: 
go ye not therefore after them. 

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and com- 
motions, be not terrified: for these things must 
first come to pass; but the end is not *by 
and by. 

10 s Then said he unto them, Nation shall 
rise against nation, and kingdom against king- 
dom : 



4. In vs. 45-47 Christ rebukes and 
upbraids the scribes and the classes 
they represent; parallel to Mat. 23: 
1-39 and Mark 12:38-40. 



Ch. 21. A. D. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-4 Jesus draws the con- 
trast between the contributions of the 
selfish rich and the faithful widow. 



2. A mite is equivalent to one- 
fifth of a cent. 



3. In vs. 5-36 Jesus foretells the 
destruction of Jerusalem and from it 
draws the lesson of warning to the 
people to prepare for his second corn- 



After awhile. 



5. In vs. 10-32 Jesus prophesies 
the destruction of Jerusalem and the 
dispersion of the Jews. 



6. In vs. 25-27 are given the signs 
of the coming of the Son of Man. 



7. Vs. 28-33. the parable of the fig 
tree. 



11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers 
places, and famines, and pestilences; and fear- 
ful sights and great signs shall there be from 
heaven. 

12 But ^before all these, they shall lay their 
hands on you, and persecute you, delivering 
you up to the synagogues, and Hnto prisons, 
l being brought before kings and rulers for my 
name's sake. 

13 And ' J it shall turn to you for a testimony. 

14 ll Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to 
meditate before what ye shall answer: 

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, 
which all your adversaries shall not be able to 
gainsay nor resist. 

16 l And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, 
and brethren, and, kinsfolks, and friends; and 
some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my 
name's sake. 

18 But there shall not an hair of your head 
perish. 

19 In iyour patience possess ye your souls. 

20 And when k ye shall see J e-ru' sa-lem com- 
passed with armies, then know that the desola- 
tion thereof is nigh. 

21 Then let them which are in Ju-dse'd flee 
to the mountains; and let them which are in the 
midst of it depart out; and let not them that 
are in the countries enter thereinto. 

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that 
all things which are written may be fulfilled. 

23 But woe unto them that are with child, 
and to them that give suck, in those days! for 
there shall be great distress in the land, and 
wrath upon this people. 

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the 
sword, and shall be led away captive into all 
nations: and J e-ru' sa-lem shall be trodden 
down of the Gen'tiles, l until the times of the 
Gen'tiles be fulfilled. 

25 If "And "'there shall be signs in the sun, 
and in the 'moon, and in the stars; and upon 
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity ; 
the sea and the waves roaring; 

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and 
for looking after those things which are coming 
on the earth: n for the powers of heaven shall 
be shaken. 

27 And then shall they see the Son of man 
"coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 

28 7 And when these things begin to come to 
pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for 
your redemption draweth nigh. 



p. What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, 
The son of David. (Mat. 22:42.) 

q. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until 
I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) For David is not as- 
cended into the heavens: but he saith himself. The Lord said unto my 
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool. 
(Acts 2:34, 35.) For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under 
his feet. (I Cor. 15:25.) 

r. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour 
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall 
receive the greater damnation. (Mat. 23:14.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the 
people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in 
much. (Mk. 12:41.) 

b. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of 
all thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) There is that scattereth, and yet in- 
creaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth 
to poverty. (Prov. 11:24.) For if there be first a willing mind, it is 
accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath 
not. (II. Cor. 8:12.) 

c. Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given 
them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast 
out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all 
people. (I Ks. 9:7.) Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make 
not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord's. 
(Jer 5:10.) Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and 
Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the 
high places of the forest. (Mic. 3:12.) 

d. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the 
devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye 
shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will 
give thee a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10.). 

e. They laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next 
day: for it was now eventide. (Acts 4:3.) And laid their hands on the 
apostles, and put them in the common prison. (Acts 5:18.) Who, having 
received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made 
their feet fast in the stocks. (Acts 16:24.) 



f. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: 
whether it be to the king, as supreme. (I Pet. 2:13.) 

g. And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them 
an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 
(Phil. 1:28.) Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of 
God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which 
ye also suffer. (II Thess. 1:5.) 

h. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye 
shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall 
speak. (Mat. 10:19.) 

i. -For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against 
her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's 
enemies are the men of his own house. (Mic. 7:6.) 

j. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he 
that endureth to the end shall be saved. (Mat. 10:22.) But he that shall 
endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Mat. 24:13.) To them 
who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory and honor and 
immortality, eternal life. (Rom. .2:7.) Knowing this, that the trying 
of your faith worketh patience. (Js. 1:3.) 

k. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken 
of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let 
him understand). (Mat. 24:15.) 

1. For I would not, . brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this 
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in 
part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 
(Rom. 11:25.) 

m. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God. 
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements 
shall melt with fervent heat? (II Pet. 3:12.) 

n. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be 
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall 
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. (Mat. 
24:29.) 

o. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into 
heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall 
so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Acts 
1:11.) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold 
the fig tree, and all the trees; 

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and 
know of your oivn selves that summer is now 
nigh at hand. 

31 So likeivise ye, when ye see these things 
come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God 
is nigh at hand. 

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation 
shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but 
my words shall not pass away. 

34 % And Ptake heed to yourselves, lest at 
any time your hearts be overcharged ivith sur- 
feiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this 
life, and so that day come upon you unaivares. 

35 For c Jas a syiare shall it come on all them 
that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 

36 Watch r ye therefore, and pray always, 
that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all 
these things that shall come to pass, and s to 
stand before the Son of man. 

37 And f in the day time he was teaching in 
the temple; and at night he went out, and 
abode in the mount that is called the mount of 
61'Ive§. 

38 And all the people came early in the 
morning to him "in the temple, for to hear him. 

CHAPTER 22.

apostles prepare the passover. 19 Christ 
instituteth his holy supper. 39 He prayeth 
in the mount, and sweateth blood, 47 is be- 
trayed with a kiss: 50 he healeth Malchus' 
ear, 54 and is thrice denied of Peter. 

1 'Now "the feast of unleavened bread drew 
nigh, which is called the Passover. 

2 And ''the chief priests and scribes sought 
how they might kill him; for they feared the 
people.

the chief priests and captains, how he might 
betray him unto them. 

5 And they were glad, and ^covenanted to 
give him money. 

6 And he promised, and sought opportunity 
to betray him unto them in the absence of the 
multitude. 

7 II "Then 'came the day of unleavened bread, 
when the passover must be killed. 

8 And he sent Pe'ter and John, saying, Go, 
and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou 
that we prepare? 

10 And he said, unto them, Behold, when ye 
are entered into the city, there shall a man 
meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow 
him into the house where he entereth in. 

11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the 
house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is 
the guestchamber, where I shall eat the pass- 
over with my disciples? 

12 And he shall shew you a large upper 
room furnished: there make ready. 

13 And they went, and found as he had said 
unto them: and they made ready the passover. 

14 And when the hour was come, he sat 
Mown, and the twelve apostles with him. 

15 And he said unto them, With desire I 
have desired to eat this passover with you be- 
fore I suffer: 

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more 
eat thereof, 1 until it be fulfilled in the kingdom 
of God. 

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, 
and said, Take this, and divide it among your- 
selves: 

18 For si say unto you, I will not drink of 
the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God 
shall come. 

19 II 4 And he took bread, and gave thanks, 
and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This 
is my body which is given for you: this h do in 
remembrance of me. 

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, say- 
ing, 'This cup is the l new ^testament in my 
blood, which is shed for you. 



and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall 
wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Rev. 1:7.) 

p. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunken- 
ness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. (Rom. 
13:13.) But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and 
watch unto prayer. (I Pet. 4:7.) Watch therefore; for ye know not 
what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman 
of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would 
have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son 
of man cometh. (Mat. 24:42-44.) And the cares of this world, and the 
deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke 
the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (Mk. 4:19.) 

q. For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord so cometh 
as a thief in the night. (I Thess. 5:2.) Remember therefore how thou 
jast received and heard; and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou 
shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know 
what hour I will come upon thee. (Rev. 3:3.) 

r. Watch therefore; for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein 
the Son of man cometh. (Mat. 25:13.) Take ye heed, watch and pray: 
for ye know not when the time is. (Mk. 13:33.) 

s. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners 
in the congregation of the righteous. (Ps. 1:5.) Wherefore take unto 
you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the 
evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Bph. 6:13.) And now, little 
children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have con- 
fidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. (I Jno. 2:28.) 

t. Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning 
he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and 
he sat down, and taught them. (Jno. 8:1, 2.) 

u. And I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall 
come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. 
(Hag. 2:7.) Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the 
way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to 
his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: 
behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the 
Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. (Mat. 26:2.) After two days was 
the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests 
and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him 
to death. (Mk. 14:1.) 

b. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth 
he meditate day and night. (Ps. 1:2.) For of a truth against thy holy 
child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, . both Herod and Pontius Pilate, 
with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together. 
(Acts 4:27.) 



c. Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief 
priests. (Mat. 26:14.) And supper being ended, (the devil having now 
put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him) (2). 
And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, 
That thou doest, do quickly. (Jno. 13:2, 27.) 

d. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if 
not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. (Zech. 
11:12.) For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some 
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) 

e. Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples 
came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee 
to eat the passover? (Mat. 26:17.) And the first day of unleavened 
bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where 
wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? 
(Mk. 14:12.) 

f. And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these 
things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the king- 
dom of God. (Lu. 14:15.) Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen 
before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he 
rose from the dead. (Acts 10:41.) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed 
are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And 
he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Rev. 19:9.) 

g. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of 
the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's 
kingdom. (Mat. 26:29.) Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of 
the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom 
of God. (Mk. 14:25.) , 

h. And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: 
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of 
me. (I Cor. 11:24.) 

i. R. V. — After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had 
supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, 
as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. (I Cor. 11:25.) Who also 
hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, 
but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (II Cor. 
3:6.) And for this cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, that 
by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were 
under the first testament, they which are called might receive the 
promise of eternal inheritance. (Heb. 9:15.) For, finding fault with 
them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make 
a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 
(Heb. 8:8.) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a 
new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. 
(Jer. 31:31.) 

j. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of 
the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion 
of the body of Christ. (I Cor. 10:16.)

21 H c But, 1; behold, the hand of him that be- 
trayeth me is with me on the table. 

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, l as it 
was determined: but ivoe unto that man by 
whom he is betrayed! 

23 And they began to enquire among them- 
selves, which of them it was that should do 
this thing. 

24 If 7 And "'there was also a strife among 
them, which of them should be accounted the 
greatest. 

25 And "he said unto them, The kings of the 
Gen'tiles exercise lordship over them; and they 
that exercise authority upon them are called 
benefactors. 

26 But °ye shall not be so: but he that is 
greatest among you, let him be as the younger; 
and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 

27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at 
meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth 
at meat? but I am among you as he that serv- 
eth.

hold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he 
may sift you as wheat: 

32 But I s have prayed for thee, that thy 
faith fail not: and 1 when thou art converted, 
strengthen thy brethren. 

33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to 
go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 

34 And he said, / tell thee, Peter, the cock 
shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt 
thrice deny that thou knoivest me. 

35 9 And he said unto them, When I sent you 
without purse, and w scrip, and shoes, lacked ye 
any thing? And they said, Nothing. 

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that 
hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his 
scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell 
his garment, and buy one. 

37 For I say unto you, that this that is writ- 
ten must yet be accomplished in me, And he 
was reckoned among the transgressors : for the 
things concerning me have an end.

39 U u And he came out, and went, as he was 
wont, to the mount of Ol'ives; and his disciples 
also followed him. 

40 And when he was at the place, he said 
unto them, Pray that ye enter not into tempta- 
tion. 

41 And he was withdrawn from them about 
a stone's cast, and "kneeled down, and prayed, 

42 Saying, Father, if thou be loilling, remove 
this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but 
thine, be done. 

43 And there appeared an angel unto him 
from heaven, strengthening him. 

44 And 'being in an agony he prayed more 
earnestly: and his sweat, was as it were great 
drops of blood falling down to the ground. 

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and 
was come to his disciples, he found them sleep- 
ing for sorrow, 

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise 
and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 

47 If 12 And while he yet spake, behold a mul- 
titude, and he that was called Ju'das, one of 
the twelve, went before them, and drew near 
unto Je'sus to kiss him. 

48 But Je'sus said unto him, Ju'das, betray- 
est thou the Son of man with a kiss? 

49 When they which were about him saw 
what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, 
shall we smite with the sword? 

50 I 7 And "one of them smote the servant of 
the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 

51 And Je'sus answered and said, Suffer ye 
thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed 
him. 

52 Then Je'sus said unto the chief priests,' 
and captains of the temple, and the elders, 
which were come to him, Be ye come out, as 
against a thief, with swords and staves? 

53 When I was daily with you in the tem- 
ple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: 
x but this is your hour, and the power of dark- 
ness. 

54 If "Then "took they him, and led him, and 
brought him into the high priest's house. And 
Pe'ter followed afar off. 

55 AncL -when they had kindled a fire in the 
midst of the hall, and were set down together, 
Pe'ter sat down among them. 



k. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did 
eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. (Ps. 41:9.) And 
as they did eat. he said, Verily I say unto you, That one of you shall 
betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one 
of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He 
that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man 
by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if 
lie had not been born. (Mat. 26:21-24.) I speak not of you all: I know 
whom I have chosen: but, that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that 
eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me (18). When 
Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, 
Verily, verily. I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me. Then 
the disciples' looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake (21. 22). 
Jesus answered. He it is to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped 
it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the 
son of Simon. (Jno. 13:18, 21, 22, 26.) 

1. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge 
of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. 
(Acts 2:23.) For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined 
before to be done. (Acts 4:28.) 

m. But they held their peace; for by the way they had disputed 
among themselves, who should be the greatest. (Mk. 9:34.) 

n. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith. God resisteth the 
proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (Js. 4:6.) Neither as being 
lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. (I Pet. 5:3.) 

o. And said unto them. Whosoever shall receive this child in my 
name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that 
sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. 
(Lu. 9:48.) 

p. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the 
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, 
yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15.) 

q. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to 
give you the kingdom. (Lu. 12:32.) And our hope of you is stedfast, 
knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also 
of the consolation. (II Cor. 1:7.) If we suffer, we shall also reign with 
him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (II Tim. 2:12.) 

r. And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these 
things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the 
kingdom of God. (Lu. 14:15.) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed 
are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And 
he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Rev. 19:9.) 



s. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which 
thou hast given me; for they are thine (9). And now I am no more in 
the world, hut these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, 
keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that 
they may be one, as we are (11). I pray not that thou shouldest take 
them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 
(Jno. 17:9, 11, 15.) 

t. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be 
converted unto thee. (Ps. 51:13.) So when they had dined, Jesus sayeth 
to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? 
He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest I love thee. He saith unto 
him, Feed my lambs. (Jno. 21:15.) 

u. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, 
saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: never- 
theless not as I will, but as thou wilt. (Mat. 26:39.) And he went for- 
ward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, 
the hour might pass from him. (Mk. 14:35.) The Pharisee stood and 
prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other 
men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. (Lu. 
18:11.) 

v. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save 
me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. (Jno. 
12:27.) Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers 
and supplications, with strong crying and tears, unto him that was 
able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. (Heb. 
5:7.) 

w. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high 
priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was 
Malchus. (Jno. 1S:10.) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 
but mightv through God to the pulling down of strong holds.) (II Cor. 
10:4.) 

x. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between 
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise 
his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel 
and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have 
crucified and slain. (Acts 2:23.) 

y. And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas 
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. (Mat. 
2G:57.) 

z. Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto 
him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. (Mat. 26:69.)

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat 
by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and 
said, This man was also with him. 

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I 
know him not. 

58 And ""after a little while another saw 
him, and said. Thou art also of them. And 
Pe'ter said, Man, I am not. 

59 And about the space of one hour after 
another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth 
this fellow also was with him: for he is a 
Gal-I-las'an. 

60 And Pe'ter said, Man, I know not what 
thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet 
spake, the cock crew. 

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon 
Pe'ter. 6 *And Pe'ter remembered the word of 
the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before 
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

62 And Pe'ter went out, and wept cc bitterly. 

63 II "And d, 'the men that held Je'sus mocked 
him, and smote him. 

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they 
struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, 
Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 

65 And many other things blasphemously 
spake they against him. 

66 *! cr And as soon as it was day, the elders 
of the people and the chief priests and the 
scribes came together, and led him into their 
council, saying, 

67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he 
said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not be- 
lieve: 

68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer 
me, nor let me go. 

69 ff Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on 
the right hand of the power of God. 

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the 
Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say 
that I am. 

71 And they said, What need we any further 
witness? for we ourselves have heard of his 
own mouth. 

CHAPTER 23. 
1 Jesus is accused before Pilate, and sent to 
Herod. 8 Herod mocketh him. 13 Barabbas 
is desired of the people, and is loosed by Pi- 
late, and Jesus is given to be crucified. 34 
He prayeth for his enemies. 39 Two evil- 
doers are crucified with him. 46 His death. 
50 His burial. 

1 'And the whole multitude of them arose, 
and led him unto PI'late. 

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, 
We found this fellow "perverting the nation,

4. Pilate hoped that the Jews 
would be appeased by administering 
this lesser punishment and thus save 
him from crucifixion. 



5. Three times were the Jews re- 
quested to state what evil he had 
done. 



and ^forbidding to give tribute to Cae'sar, say- 
ing that he himself is Christ a King. 

3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou 
the King of the Jew§? And he answered him 
and said, Thou sayest it. 

4 Then said Pi'late to the chief priests and 
to the people, <T find no fault in this man. 

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He 
stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all 
Jew'ry, beginning from Gal'i-lee to this place. 

6 "When Pi'late heard of Gal'i-lee, he asked 
whether the man were a Gal-i-lae'an. 

7. And as soon as he knew that he belonged 
unto Her'od's jurisdiction, he sent him to Her'- 
od, who himself also was at Je-ru'sa-lem at 
that time. 

8 If And when Her'od saw Je'sus, he was ex- 
ceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him 
of a long season, because he had heard many 
things of him; and he hoped to have seen some 
miracle done by him. 

9 Then he questioned with him in many 
words; but he answered him nothing. 

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood 
and vehemently accused him. 

11 d And Her'od with his men of war set him 
at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him 
in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pi'- 
late. 

12 H And the same day e Pl'late and Her'od 
were made friends together: for before they 
were at enmity between themselves. 

13 IT And f Pi'late, when he had called to- 
gether the chief priests and the rulers and the 
people, 

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this 
man unto me, as one that perverteth the peo- 
ple: and, behold, I, having examined him be- 
fore you, "have found no fault in this man 
touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 

15 No, nor yet Her'od: for I sent you to 
him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done 
unto him. 

16 I will therefore 'chastise him, and release 
him. 

17 h (For of necessity he must release one 
unto them at the feast.) 

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, 
Away with this man, and release unto us Ba- 
rab'bas : 

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the 
city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 

20 Pi'late therefore, willing to release Je'sus, 
spake again to them. 

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, cru- 
cify him. 

22 And he said unto them the 5 third time, 



aa. And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw 
him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with 
Jesus of Nazareth. (Mat. 26:71.) 

bb. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, 
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and 
wept bitterly. (Mat. 26:75.) 

cc. For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things 
have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that 
is poor, and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. (Is. 66:2.) 
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: 
but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (II Cor. 7:10.) 

dd. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid net my face from shame and spitting. (Is. 
50:6.) As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more 
than any man, and his form more than the sons of men. (Is. 52:14.) 

ee. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take coun- 
sel together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying. (Ps. 
2:2.) Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have 
beset me round (12). For dogs have compassed me; the assembly of 
the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hards and my feet. 
(Ps. 22:12, 16.1 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were 
gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. (Acts 4:26.) 

ff. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until 
I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) For the Lord himself 
shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, 
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. (I 
Thess. 4:16.) Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: 
We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne 
of the Majesty in the heavens. (Heb. 8:1.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the de- 
crees of Cesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. (Acts 17:7.) 
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition 



among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect 
of the Nazarenes. (Acts 24:5.) 

b. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the 
sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and 
when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: 
that take, and give unto them for me and thee. (Mat. 17:27.) They say 
unto him, Cesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto 
Cesar the things which are Cesar's; and unto God the things that are 
God's. (Mat. 22:21.) 

c. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that 
we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (II Cor. 5:21.) 
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. (I Pet. 2:22.) 

d. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and ac- 
quainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was 
despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:tf.) 

e. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast 
anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the 
people of Israel, were gathered together. (Acts 4:27.) Ye adulterers 
and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity 
with God? whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world is the 
enemy of God. (Js. 4:4.) 

f. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they 
cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. (Mat. 27:23.) Pilate 
saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went 
out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at 
all. (Jno. 18:38.) 

g. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against 
Daniel concerning the kingdom: but they could find none occasion nor 
fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault 
found in him. (Dan. 6:4.) 

h. Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the 
people a prisoner, whom they would. (Mat. 27:15.) But ye have a 
custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye 
therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? (Jno. 18:39,)

Why, what evil hath he 3one? I have found 
no cause of death in him: I will therefore 
chastise him, and let him go. 

23 °And they were instant with loud voices, 
requiring that he might be crucified. And the 
voices of them and of the chief priests pre- 
vailed. 

24 And Pi'late gave sentence that it should 
be as they required. 

25 And he 'released unto them him that for 
sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom 
they had desired; but he delivered Je'§us to 
their will. 

26 And as they led him away, they laid 
hold upon one Si'mon, a Qy-re'ni-an, coming 
out of the country, and on him they laid the 
cross, that he might bear it after Je'§us. 

27 11 T And there followed him a great com- 
pany of people, and of women, which also be- 
wailed and lamented him. 

28 But Je'§us turning unto them said, 
Daughters of Je-ru'sa-lem, weep not for me, 
but iveep for yourselves, and for your children. 

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the 
which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, 
and the wombs that never bare, and the paps 
which never gave suck. 

30 Then shall they begin to say to the moun- 
tains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 

31 For Hf they do these things in a green 
tree, what shall be done in the dry? 

32 And there were also two other, malefac- 
tors, led with him to be put to death. 

33 s And when they were come to the place, 
which is called Cal'va-ry, there they crucified 
him, and the malefactors, one on the right 
hand, and the other on the left. 

34 H Then said Je'sus, Father, k forgive them ; 
for they know not what they do. And they 
parted his raiment, and cast lots. 

35 And the people stood beholding. And the 
rulers also with them derided him, saying, He 
saved others; let him save himself, if he be 
Christ, the chosen of God. 

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming 
to him, and offering him vinegar, 

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the 
Jew§, save thyself. 

38 And z a superscription also was written 
over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and 
Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. 

39 H And one of the malefactors which were 
hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, 
save thyself and us. 

40 But the other answering rebuked him, 
saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou 
art in the same condemnation? 

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the 
due reward of our deeds: but this man hath 
done nothing amiss. 



6. Vs. 23-25 Jesus is delivered to 
his persecutors to be crucified; par- 
allel to Mat. 27:24-31 aud Mark 15: 
15-20 aud Johu 19:1-16. 



7. The account given in vs. 27 
31 is mentioned only by Luke. 



S. In vs. 33-40 is a record of the 
transactions which occurred while 
Jesus was hanging on the cross; par- 
allel to Mat. 27:35-50 aud Mark 15: 
2-37 and John 19:lS-30. 



9. Even though a thief on the 
cross, Jesus had compassion ou him. 



10. That is, over Palestine. 



11. In vs. 46-56 Jesus is taken 
from the cross, embalmed, and placed 
in the tomb; parallel to John 19:31- 
42 and Mark 15:38-47 and Mat. 
27:51-61. 



Ch. 24. A. D. 33. 



1. Vs. 1-12 give an account of the

A. P. 33 

42 And he said unto Je'sus, Lord, remember 
me when thou comest into thy "'kingdom. 

43 And Je'§us said unto him, Verily I say 
unto thee, To J day shalt thou be with me in 
paradise. 

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and 
there "was a darkness over all the earth until 
the ninth hour. 

45 And the sun was darkened, and "the vail 
of the temple was rent in the midst. 

46 If "And when Je'sus had cried with a loud 
voice, he said, "Father, into thy hands I com- 
mend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave 
up the ghost. 

47 Now when the centurion saw what was 
done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this 
was a righteous man. 

48 And all the people that came together to 
that sight, beholding the things which were 
done, smote their breasts, and returned. 

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women 
that followed him from Gal'i-lee, stood afar off, 
beholding these things. 

50 11 And, behold, there was a man named 
Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, 
and a just: 

51 (The same had not consented to the coun- 
sel and deed of them;) he was of Ar-I-ma- 
thag'a, a city of the Jew§: Pwho also himself 
waited for the kingdom of God. 

52 This man went unto Pi'late, and begged 
the body of Je'sus. 

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in 
linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn 
in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 

54 And that day was the preparation, and 
the sabbath drew on. 

55 And the women also, which came with 
him from Gal'i-lee, followed after, and beheld 
the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 

56 And they returned, and ^prepared spices 
and ointments; and rested the sabbath day 
according to the commandment. 

CHAPTER 24. 
1 Christ's resurrection is declared by two an- 
gels. 13 He himself appeareth to the two 
disciples that went to Emmaus: 36 He ap- 
peareth to the apostles, and reproveth their 
unbelief: 49 promiseth the Holy Ghost: 51 
and so ascendeth into heaven. 

1 *Now "upon the first day of the week, very 
early in the morning, they came unto the sepul- 
chre, bringing the spices which they had pre- 
pared, and certain others with them. 

2 And they found the stone rolled away from 
the sepulchre. 

3 And they entered in, and 'found not the 
body of the Lord Je'sus. 

4 And it came to pass, as they were much 



i. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that eondemneth the just, 
even they both are. abomination to the Lord. (Prov. 17:15.) 

j. Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much 
more the wicked and the sinner. (Prov. 11:31.) And say to the forest 
of the south, Hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
hold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree 
in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, 
and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. (Bz. 
20:47.) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of 
God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that 
obey not the gospel of God? (I Pet. 4:17.) 

k. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse 
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully 
use you, and persecute you. (Mat. 5:44.) And he kneeled down, and 
cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when 
he had said this, he fell asleep. (Acts 7:60.) And labor, working with 
our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it. 
(I Cor. 4:12.) 

1. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writ- 
ing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. (Jno. 
19:19.) 

m. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of 
his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he 
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the 
Majesty on high. (Heb. 1:3.) Now of the things which we have spoken 
this is the sum: We have such an High Priest, which is set on the right 
hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. (Heb. 8:1.) 



n. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the 
top to She bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. (Mat. 
27:51.) But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the 
same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which 
veil is done away in Christ. (II Cor. 3:14.) For he is our peace, who 
hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition 
between us. (Eph. 2:14.) Which hope we have as an anchor of the 
soul, both sure and stediast, and which entereth into that within the 
veil. (Heb. 6:19.) 

o. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O 
Lord God of truth. (Ps. 31:5.) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not 
again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to 
him that judgeth righteously. (I Pet. 2:23.) 

p. And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was 
Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the con- 
solation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him (25). And she 
coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake 
of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. (Lu. 2: 
25, 38.) 

q. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, aud Mary the 
mother of James, and Salome, had brought sweet spices, that they might 
come and anoint him. (Mk. 16:1.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first 
day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the 
sepulchre. (Mat. 28:1.) And when the sabbath was past. Mary Magda- 
lene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet 
spices, that they might come and anoint him. (Mk. 16:1.)

45 Then ^opened he their understanding, 
that they might understand the scriptures,

and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to 
rise from the dead the third, day: 

47 And that repentance and remission of 
sins should be preached in his name l among all 
nations, beginning at Je-ru'sa-lem.

heaven with his arms outstretched 
conferring a blessing upon man. 
Likewise, he began his ministry 
when he announced the principles 
of it in the Sermon on the Mount 
with a blessing. 

It is interesting to observe that 
the old dispensation was ushered 
in, at the announcement of the law 
at Sinai, with a curse; likewise it 
was closed with a curse, which hung 
over the world as a suspended sen- 
tence for 400 years, from the time 
of the departure of the last prophet 



Je-ru'sa-lem, until he be endued with power 
from on high. 

50 1f And he led them out as far as to Beth'- 
a-ny, and he lifted "up his hands, and blessed 
them. 

51 And it "came to pass, while 4 he blessed 
them, he was parted "from them, and carried 
up into heaven. 

52 And they worshipped him, and returned 
to Je-ru'sa-lem with great joy: 

53 And were continually °in the temple, 
praising and blessing God. Amen.

evangelists who gives a description 



of the bodily ascension of Christ. 



k. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city 
of . Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord 
opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. 
(Acts 16:14.) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of dark- 
ness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of 
the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (II Cor. 4:6.) 

1. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse hirn that curseth 
thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen. 12:3.) 
All the ends of the world shall remember, and turn unto the Lord; and 
all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. (Ps. 22:27.) 
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to 
raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel; I will 
also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salva- 
tion unto the end of the earth. (Is. 49:6.) And many nations shall come, 
and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to 
the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we 
will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word 
of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Mic. 4:2.) For from the rising of the sun 
even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be great among 



the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, 
and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, 
saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 1:11.) 

m. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me 
from the beginning. (Jno. 15:27.) Beginning from the baptism of John, 
unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained 
to be a witness with us of his resurrection. (Acts 1:22.) 

n. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, be- 
hold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted 
them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Eph. 4:8.)

breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness 
and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favor with all the 
people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be 
saved. (Acts 2:46, 47.) And daily in the temple, and in every house : 
they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. (Acts 5:42.)

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO 

SAINT JOHN 



NOTE.— The writer of ''the Gospel according to St. John" was the youngest of the 32; also the younger of the two sons of Zebedee, a fisherman. 
who resided at Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee. He was one of the disciples of John the Baptist, before the coming of Christ. His greatest distinction 
was his admission to the bosom place with his Lord at the table, as "the disciple whom Jesus loved"; and for this reason the Master, while on the 
cross, committed his mother to John's keeping. His Gospel is specially characterized by being reflective in character rather than narrative. John wrote 
what ne saw as an e ^ e witness. He wrote with a courage that says, "I know whereof I speak because I saw it"; therefore he must be believed absolutely 
or impeached altogether. Of the ten miracles recorded by John only three are recorded elsewhere. Of the parables John records only one, that of the Good 
Shepherd, which is especially in keeping with the divine characteristic he wishes to display — viz., the divinity walking among men, ever struggling to 
brighten their darkened lives and elevate them to the love of God. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 The divinity, humanity, and office of Jesus 
Christ. 15 The testimony of John. 39 The 
calling of Andrew, Peter, &c. 

1 'In the ^beginning was the 3 Word, and the 
"Word was with God, and the 3 Word was 4 God. 

2 The same was in the "beginning with God. 

3 All things were made by him; and without 
him was not any thing made that was made. 

4 In him was °life; and the life was the 
light of men. 

5 And the light 7 shineth in darkness; and 
the darkness comprehended it not. 

6 11 There was a man sent from "God, whose 
name was John. 

7 The same came for a witness, to bear 
witness of the Light, that all men through 
him might believe. 

8 He a was not that Light, but was sent to 
bear witness of that Light. 

9 "That b was the true Light, which lighteth 
every man that cometh into the world. 

10 He was in the world, and c the world was 
made by him, and the world knew him not. 

11 He d came unto his own, and his own re- 
ceived him not. 

12 But e as many as received him, to them 
gave he power to become the sons of God, even 
to them that believe on his name: 

13 Which fwere 10 born, not of blood, nor of 
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, 
ffbut of God. 

14 And the Word ''was "made flesh, and 
dwelt among us, (aiid 'we beheld his glory, the 
glory as of the only 12 begotten of the Father,) 
full of grace and truth. 

15 If John bare witness of him, and cried, 
saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that 
cometh after me is preferred before me: for 
he was before me. 

16 And of his fulness have all we received, 
and grace for grace. 



Ch. 1. A. D. 30. 

1. In vs. 1-14, the word is made 
flesh. 

2. The first in order of time; the 
beginning or commencement of that 
series of events with which the 
creation and history of the human 
race were associated; the beginning 
of creative existence, i 

3. God, the eternal Logos; the 
expression or manifestation of God. 

4. In substance, in essence, in 
power was God. 

5. Fix any definite location of 
time, and back of it "the word was 
with God." 

6. Original, the germ of life, the 
essence of all life. 

7. While this light was shining 
in all ages, John here particularly 
alludes to the incarnation of the 
word and the shining of the light in 
Christ. 

S. To prepare the way for that 
light. 

9. In vs. 9-18 is a tracing of the 
entrance of the Logos, or eternal 
word, into the world. 

10. Alluding to regeneration, a 
word seldom used, but often implied. 

11. That is, the eternal Logos 
which was God in v. 1 is now made 
flesh, God incarnate. Jesus Christ. 

12. Thus Christ, the only begot- 
ten of the Father — w"ho was in v. 1 
called the Word, also called God — is 
now called the Son, to dwell among 
men. 

13. In vs. 19-52 is recorded the 
three-fold testimony of John the 
Baptist that Jesus is the promised 
Messiah, and 1 that he himself is not. 

14. In vs. 20-28 is the first tes- 
timonial of John the Baptist to a 
delegation from the Sanuedrin, that 
Jesus is the Messiah. 

15. As a symbol of that which 
is yet to come — the outward ex- 
pression of an inward regeneration 
and acceptance into the new cove- 
nant, or a symbolical act of obe- 
dience to the command of God, 
as circumcision (the sign of the old 
covenant) has been superseded by 
the baptism of John in the new 
covenant, the covenant of grace. 

16. In vs. 29-34 Is an account of 
the second testimony of John the 
Baptist that Jesus is the Messiah — 
this testimony was given to the peo- 
ple. 



17 For ^ the law was given by Mo'se§, but 
grace and truth came by Je'§us Christ. 

18 No A 'man hath seen God at any time; the 
'only begotten Son, which is in the "'bosom of 
the Father, he hath declared him. 

19 If "And this is the record of John, when 
the Jews, sent priests and Le'vites from Je-ru'- 
sa-lem to ask him, Who art thou? 

20 "And he confessed, and denied not; but 
confessed, I am not the Christ. 

21 And they asked him, What then? Art 
thou E-li'as? And he saith, I am not. Art 
thou that prophet? And he answered, No. 

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? 
that we may give an answer to them that sent 
us. What sayest thou of thyself? 

23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in 
the wilderness, Make straight the way of the 
Lord, as said "the prophet E-§a'ias. 

24 And they which were sent were of the 
Phar'i-see§. 

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, 
Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that 
Christ, nor E-li'as, neither that prophet? 

26 John answered them, saying, I ir 'baptize 
with water: °but there standeth one among 
you, whom ye know not; 

27 He it is, who coming after me is pre- 
ferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am 
not worthy to unloose. 

28 These things wer.e done in Beth-ab'a-ra 
beyond Jor'dan,' where John was baptizing. 

29 If 1G The next day John seeth Je'§us coming 
unto him, and saith, Behold ?the Lamb of God, 
which taketh away the sin of the world. 

30 This is he of whom I said, After me 
cometh a man which is preferred before me: 
for he was before me. 

31 And I knew him not: but that he should 
be made manifest to Is'ra-el, therefore am I 
come baptizing with water. 

32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the 



Ref. Xohn. Chapter 1. 

a. And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I 
am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes 
of his feet I am not worthy to loose. (Acts 13:25.) 

b. And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant 
to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel; 
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my 
salvation unto the end of the earth. (Is. 49:6.) 

c. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the 
host of them by the breath of his mouth. (Ps. 33:6.) But to us there 
is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and 
one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (I Cor. 
8:6.) 

d. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, say- 
ing, We will not have this man to reign over us. (Lu. 19:14.) 

e. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 
3:26.) Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, 
that we should be called the sons of God! therefore the world knoweth 
us not, because it knew him net. (I Jno. 3:1.) 

f. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, 
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (I Pet. 1:23.) 
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a 
kind of first-fruits of his creatures. '(Js. 1:18.) If ye know that he is 
righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of 
him. (I Jno. 2:29.) 

g. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart 
of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all 
thy soul, that thou mayest live. (Dt. 30:6.) Jesus answered, Verily, 
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Jno. 3:5.) Being born again, 
not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which 
liveth and abideth for ever. (I Pet. 1:23.) 

h. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of 
the seed of David according to the flesh. (Rom. 1:3.) But when the 
fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, 
made under the law. (Gal. 4:4.) But made himself of no reputation, 
i and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness 
of men. (Phil. 2:7.) And without controversy great is the mystery of 



godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of 
angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up 
into glory. (I Tim. 3:16.) That which was from the beginning, which 
we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked 
upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life. (I Jno. 1:1.) 

i. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall 
see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 40:5.) 
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came 
such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, 
in whom I am well pleased. (II Pet. 1:17.) 

j. And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of commun- 
ing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, 
written with the finger of God. (Ex. 31:18.) 

k. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man 
see me, and live. (Ex. 33:20.) Not that any man hath seen the Father, 
save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. (Jno. 6:46.) 

1. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that 
God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live- 
through him. (I Jno. 4:9.) 

m. Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was 
daily his delight, rejoicing always before him. (Prov. 8:30.) 

n. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 
(Is. 40:3.) 

o. Behold, I will send ray messenger, and he shall prepare the way 
before me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his tem- 
ple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he 
shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.) 

p. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) The 
place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep 
to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened 
he not his mouth. (Acts 8:32.) But with the precious blood of Christ, 
as a lamb without blemish and without spot. (I Pet. 1:19.) And I be- 
held, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in 
the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven

Ch. 2 



ST. JOHN 



Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and 
it abode upon him. 

33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me 
to baptize with water, *the same said unto me, 
Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descend- 
ing, and remaining on him, the same is he 
which baptizeth with the Ho'ly Ghost. 

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is 
the Son of God. 

35 If 17 Again the next day after John stood, 
and two of his disciples; 

36 And looking upon Je'§us as he walked, 
he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 

37 And the two disciples heard him speak, 
and they followed Je'gus. 

38 Then Je'§us turned, and saw them fol- 
lowing, and saith unto them, What seek ye? 
They said unto him, Rab'bi, (which is to say, 
being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest 
thou? 

39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They 
came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with 
him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 

40 One of the two which heard John speak, 
and followed him, was An'drew, Si'mon Pe- 
ter's brother. 

41 He first findeth his own brother Si'mon, 
and saith unto him, We have found the Mes- 
sl'as, which is, being interpreted, the ls Christ. 

42 And he brought him to Je'§us. And 
when Je'sus beheld him, he said, Thou art Si - 
mon the son of Jo'nd: thou shalt be called 
Ce'phas, which is by interpretation, A stone. 

43 1i The day "following Je'§us would go 
forth into Gal'i-lee, and findeth Philip, and 
saith unto him, Follow me. 

44 Now Philip was of Beth-sa'i-da, the city 
of An'drew and Pe'ter. 

45 Phil'ip findeth Na-than'a-el, and saith 
unto him, We have found him, of whom Mo'- 
§es_ '"in the law, and the s prophets, did write, 
Je'§us of Naz'a-reth, the son of J6'§eph. 

46 And Na-than'a-el * said unto him, Can 
there any good thing come out of Naz'a-reth? 
Phil'ip saith unto him, Come and see. 

47 Je'§us saw Na-than'a-el coming to him, 
and saith of him, Behold an is'ra-el-ite indeed, 
in whom is no guile! 

48 Na-than'a-el saith unto him, Whence 
knowest thou me? Je'sus answered and said 
unto him, Before that Phil'ip called thee, when 
thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 



17. In vs. 35-40 is an account of 
the third testimony of John the Bap- 
tist that Jesus is the Messiah — given 
to two of his disciples. 



18. The fact that John interprets 
the meaning of the word Messias, in- 
dicates that he was writing for Gen- 
tiles, as the term was well under- 
stood by all the Jews. 



19. The forty-fourth day after his 
baptism. 



Ch. 2. A. D. 30. 



1. In vs. 1-12 is an account of the 
marriage feast at Cana. 



2. At the time of Christ, the 
word "woman" embraced within it 
the same tender affection and re- 
spectful thought as the term 
"mother" to-day. The expression, 
"what have I to do with thee" 
means "what to me and to thee." 
Jesus had already demonstrated at 
the hour of his temptation that mir- 
acles were not to be performed for 
self interests and his hour had not 
yet come. When the Father gave 
him the knowledge that the transi- 
tion period of his life from the hu- 
man to the Christ had ended, then 
he would be given the ability and 
divine permission to perform the 
miracle for the glory of God, not 
for selfish glory or gratification, 
which could not be done till the 
mother retired to her proper place, 
as her attitude seemed to imply a 
feast. But when she retired and 
left all with them that God might 
be glorified, then he performed the 
miracle. 



3. In vs. 13-25 Jesus goes to the 
passover at Jerusalem and there pu- 
rifies the temple. 



A. D. 30 

49 Na-than'a-el answered and saith unto 
him, Rab'bi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 
the King of Is'ra-el. 

50 Je'§us answered and said unto him, Be- 
cause I said unto thee, I saw thee under the 
fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater 
things than these. 

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven 
open, and the angels of God ascending and de- 
scending upon the i Son of man. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Christ turneth xvater into wine, 12 departeth 
into Capernaum, and to Jerusalem. 19 He 
foretelleth his death and resurrection. 

1 'And the third day there was a marriage 
in Ca'na of Gal'i-lee; and the mother of Je'§us 
was there: 

2 And both Je'sus was called, and his disci- 
ples, to the marriage. 

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother 
of Je'§us saith unto him, They have no wine. 

4 Je'§us saith unto her, "Woman, a what 
h have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet 
come. 

5 His mother saith unto the servants, What- 
soever he saith unto you, do it. 

6 And there were set there six waterpots of 
stone, after the manner of the purifying of the 
Jew§, containing two or three firkins apiece. 

7 Je'§us saith unto them, Fill the waterpots 
with water. And they filled them up to the 
brim. 

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, 
and bear unto the governor of the feast. And 
they bare it. 

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the 
water that was made wine, and knew not 
whence it was: (but the servants which drew 
the water knew;) the governor of the feast 
called the bridegroom, 

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the 
beginning doth set forth good wine; and when 
men have well drunk, then that which is worse: 
but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 

11 This beginning of ^miracles did Je'sus in 
Ca'na of Gal'i-lee, <?and manifested forth his 
glory; and his disciples believed on him. 

12 11 3 After this he went down to Ca-per'na- 
um, he, and his mother, and e his brethren, and 



horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into 
all the earth. (Rev. 5:6.) 

q. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak 
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4.) While 
Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard 
the word. (Acts 10:44.) 

r. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like 
unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto 
them all that I shall command him. (Dt. 18:18.) 

s. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, 
and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that 
are escaped of Israel. (Is. 4:2.) Therefore the Lord himself shall give 
you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall 
call his name Immanuel. (Is. 7:14.) For unto us a child is born, unto 
us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and 
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The 
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his govern- 
ment and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and 
upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and 
with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of 
hosts will perform this. (Is. 9:6, 7.) O Zion, that bringest good tidings, 
get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good 
tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say 
unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! (9). He shall feed his flock 
like a shepherd; he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them 
in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. (Is. 
40:9, 11.) I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (Is. 
50:6.) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy 
holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and 
to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting right- 
eousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most 
Holy (24). And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, 
but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall 
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a 
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:24, 26.) And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, 
saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow 
up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. (Zech. 
<l:12. ) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness 



arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as 
calves of the stall. (Mai. 4:2.) 

t. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man 
came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and 
they brought him near before him. (Dan. 7:13.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing 
by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 
(Jno. 19:26.) 

b. And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of 
Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse 
David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so? (II Sam. 
16:10.) And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, 
that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be 
put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day 
king over Israel? (II Sam. 19:22.) 

c. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we 
know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these 
miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. (Jno. 3:2.) This is 
again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of 
Judea into Galilee. (Jno. 4:54.) And a great multitude followed him, 
because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased 
(2). Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did. 
said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world 
(14). Jesus answered them and said, Verily', verily, I say unto you, Ye 
seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the 
loaves, and were filled (26">. They said therefore unto him, What sign 
showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou 
work? (Jno. 6:2, 14,-26, 30.) And many resorted unto him, and said, 
John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were 
true. (Jno. 10:41.) Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees 
a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 
(Jno. 11:47.) And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of 
his disciples, which are not written in this book. (Jno. 20:30.) 

d. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we 
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 
full of grace and truth. (Jno. 1:14.) Jesus saith unto 'her. Said I not 
unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory 
of God? (Jno. 11:40.) 

e. While he yet talked to the people* behold, his mother and his 
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Mat. 12:46.)

his disciples: and they continued there not 
many days. 

13 1l And ''the Jews/ passover was at hand, 
and Je'sus went up to Je-ru'sa-lem, 

14 And "found in the temple those that sold 
oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of 
money sitting: 

15 And when he had made a scourge of 
small cords, he drove them all out of the tem- 
ple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured 
out the changers' money, and overthrew the 
tables; 

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take 
these things hence; make not h my Father's 
house an house of merchandise. 

17 And his disciples remembered that it *was 
written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten 
me up. 

18 If Then answered the Jews and said unto 
him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing 
that thou doest these things? 

19 Je'sus answered and said unto them, i Des- 
troy "this temple, and in three days I will 
raise it up. 

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years 
was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear 
it up in three days? 

21 But he spake 'of the "temple of his body. 

22 When therefore he was risen from the 
dead, A 'his disciples remembered that he had 
said this unto them; and they believed the 
scripture, and the word which Je'sus had said. 

23 1T Now when he was in Je-ru'sa-lem at 
the passover, in the feast day, many believed 
in his name, when they saw the miracles which 
he did. 

24 But Je'sus did not commit himself unto 
them, because he knew all men, 

25 And needed not that any should testify 
cf man: for l he knew what was in man. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 Christ teacheth Nicodemus the necessity of 
regeneration. 14 Of faith in his death. 18 
Condemnation for Unbelief. 

1 'There was a man of the Phar'i-sees, 
named 2 Nic-o-de'mus, a ruler of the Jew§: 

2 The same came to Je'sus by night, and 
said unto him, Rab'bi, we know that thou ar.t 
a teacher come from God: for "no man can do 



-1. Only five, one of which was 
John himself. Therefore he was a 
witness to the cleansing. 



5. Christ gives them not only a 
sign but a test also. Although per- 
haps alluding to the temple of his 
body, yet nothing was impossible for 
him, and he could easily have re- 
erected the temple before them, 
which they thought to be his mean- 
ing, as they expressed themselves in 
v. 20. 



6. The Jewish temple was the 
material type of the temple of 
Christ's body. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 30. 



1. In vs. 1-21 is an account of 
Christ's discourse with Nicodemus. 



2. A member of the Sanhedrin. 



3. As an external sign or symbol 
of the spirit's induction into the 
kingdom of Christ, a symbolical act 
of obedience to the command of God. 



4. In vs. 10-13 Jesus asserts his 
own absolute authority and knowl- 
edge which has previously been ac- 
knowledged by Nicodemus. 



5. In vs. 14-17 Christ teaches the 
universal atonement. 



6. As the children of Israel were 
bitten by the serpent, so man has 
been bitten by sin; as Moses lifted 
up the brazen serpent upon the pole, 
so Christ must be raised upon the 
cross; as Moses had been command- 
ed to make the brazen serpent in the 
form of the fiery serpent, so Christ 
was in the form of sinful flesh ; as 
the one bitten by the serpent could 
look upon the brazen image and be 
healed, so sinful man may look upon 
Christ and be healed of his sins. 



7. In vs. 1S-21 Christ teaches the 
responsibility of unbelief. 



these miracles that thou doest, except 6 God be 
with him. 

3 Je'sus answered and said unto him, Verily, 
verily, I say unto thee, c Except a man be born 
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 

4 Nic-o-de'mus saith unto him, How can a 
man be born when he is old? can he enter the 
second time into his mother's womb, and be 
born? 

5 Je'sus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto 
thee, Except a man be born of water 3 and of 
the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of 
God. 

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must 
be born again. 

8 The d wind bloweth where it listeth, and 
thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not 
tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so 
is every one that is born of the Spirit. 

9 Nic-o-de'mus answered and said unto him, 
How can these things be? 

10 4 Je'sus answered and said unto him, Art 
thou a master of Is'ra-el, and knowest not 
these things? 

11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak 
that we do know, and testify that ive have 
seen; and ye receive not our witness. 

12 // / have told you earthly things, and 
ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell 
you of heavenly things? 

13 And c no man hath ascended up to heaven, 
but he that came down from heaven, even the 
Son of man which is in heaven. 

14 If ''And fas Mo'§es lifted up the serpent in 
the wilderness, even so must the Son of man 
be "lifted up: 

15 That whosoever believeth in him should 
not perish, but have eternal life. 

16 If For God so loved the world, that he 
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever be- 
lieveth in him should not perish, but have ever- 
lasting life. 

17 For God sent not his Soji into the world 
to condemn the world; but that the world 
through him might be saved. 

18 If 'He that believeth on him is not con- 
demned: but he that believeth not is condemned 
already, because he hath not believed in the 
name of the only begotten Son of God. 



f. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep 
it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a 
feast by an ordinance for ever. (Ex. 12:14.) Observe the month of 
Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lord thy God: for in the month of 
Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. (Dt. 
16:1.) After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to 
Jerusalem. (Jno. 5:1.) And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 
(Jno. 6:4.) And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went 
out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify them- 
selves. (Jno. 11:55.) 

g. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that 
sold and bought in cho temple, and overthrew the tables of the money- 
changers, and the seats of them that sold doves. (Mat. 21:12.) And he 
went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and 
them that bought. (Lu. 19:45.) 

h. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, 
O Lord, for ever. (Ps. 93:5.) But they that will be rich fall into temp- 
tation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown 
men in destruction and peridition. For the love of money is the root 
of all evil; which while some coveted after, they have erred from the 
faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 
6:9, 10.) 

i. And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of 
God, and to build it in three days. (Mat. 26:61.) And saying, Thou that 
destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If 
thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. (Mat. 27:40.) We 
heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and 
within three days I will build another made without hands. (Mk. 14:58.) 
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and say- 
ing, Ah! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days. 
(Mk. 15:29.) 

j. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of 
God dwelleth in you? (I Cor. 3:16.) What! know ye not that your body 
is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, 
and ye are not your own? (I Cor. 6:19.) For in him dwelleth all the 
fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Col. 2:9.) A minister of the sanctuary, 
and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. (Heb. 
8:2.) 

k. And they remembered his words. (Lu. 24:8.) But the Comforter, 
which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he 



shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, 
whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jno. 14:26.) 

1. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or 
on the height of his stature; because I have refused him; for the LORD 
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but 
the Lord looketh on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Therefore "said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, 
because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man 
that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among 
them (16). If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. (Jno. 
9:16, 33.) 

b. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and 
with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were op- 
pressed of the devil; for God was with him. (Acts 10:38.) 

c. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, 
nor of the will of man, but of God. (Jno. 1:13.) (For we walk by faith, 
not by sight.) (II Cor. 5:7.) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision 
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. (Gal. 6:15.) 
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. 
(Eph. 2:1.) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but 
according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and 
renewing of the Holy Ghost. (Tit. 3:5.) Of his own will begat he us 
with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his 
creatures. (Js. 1:18.) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of 
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 
(I Pet. 1:23.) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his 
seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God 
(I Jno. 3:9.) 

d. As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the 
bones da grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou 
knowest not the works of God who maketh all. (Ecc. 11:5.) For what 
man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in 
him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 
(I Cor. 2:11.) 

e. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gath- 
ered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? 
who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his na'me, and 
what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? (Prov. 30:4.) 

f. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and 
it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld 
the serpent of brass, he lived. (Num. 21:9.)

Ch. 4 



ST. TOHX 



19 And this is the condemnation, "that light 
is come into the world, and men loved darkness 
rather than light, because their deeds tvere evil; 

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the 
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds 
should be reproved. 

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the 
light, that his deeds may be made manifest, 
that they are wrought in God. 

22 % s After these things came Je'sus and his 
disciples into the land of Ju-dag'a ; and there he 
tarried with them, and baptized. 

23 If And John also ''was baptizing in .55'non 
near to Sa'lim, because there was much water 
there: and they came, and were baptized. 

24 For John was not yet cast into prison. 

25 1 Then there arose a question between 
some of John's disciples and the Jews about 
purifying. 

26 And they came unto John, and said unto 
him, Rab'bi, he that was with thee beyond 
Jor'dan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, 
the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. 

27 John answered and said, 'A man can re- 
ceive nothing, except it be given him from 
heaven. 

28 Ye °y° urse l ves bare me witness, that I 
said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent

36 He 'that ^believeth on the Son hath ever- 
lasting life: and he that believeth not the Son 
shall not see life; but the s wrath of God abid- 
eth on him. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Christ talketh with a woman of Samaria, 
and revealeth himself unto her. 27 His disci- 
ples marvel. 39 Many Samaritans believe 
on him. 43 He healeth the ruler's son. 

1 1 When therefore the Lord knew how the 
Phar'i-sees had heard that Je'sus made and 
baptized more disciples than John, 

2 (Though Je'sus himself baptized not, but 
his disciples,) 

3 He left Ju-das'a, and departed again into 
Gal'i-lee. 

4 And he must needs go through Sa-ma'ri-a. 

5 Then cometh he to a city of Sa-ma'ri-a, 
which is called Sy'char, near to the parcel of 
ground a that Ja'cob gave to his son Joseph. 

6 Now Ja'cob's ^well was there. Je'sus there- 
fore, being wearied with his journey, sat thu§ 
on the well : and it was about the sixth hour. 

7 There cometh a woman of Sa-ma'ri-a to 
draw water: Je'sus saith unto her, Give me to 
drink. 

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto 
the city to buy meat.) 

9 Then saith the woman of Sa-ma'ri-a unto 
him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest 
drink of me, which am a woman of Sa-ma'ri-a? 
for. 6 the Jews have no dealings with the Sa- 
mar'i-tans. 

10 Je'sus answered and said unto her, // 
thou knewest c the gift of God, and who it is 
that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou 
icouldest have asked of him, and he would have 
given thee Hiving water. 

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast 
nothing to draw with, and the well is deep : 
from whence then hast thou that living water? 

12 Art thou greater than our father Ja'cob. 
which gave us the well, and drank thereof 
himself, and his children, and his cattle? 

13 Je'sus answered and said unto her Who- 
soever drinketh of this water shall thirst 
again: 

14 But e ivhosoever drinketh of the water 
that I shall give him *shall never thirst; but 



g. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put dark- 
ness for light, and light for darkness; that .put bitter for sweet, and 
sweet for bitter! (Is. 5:20.) In him was life; and the life was the light 
of men. (Jno. 1:4.) 

h. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: 
and he was the priest of the most high God. (Gen. 14:18.) And Jacob 
came to Shalem a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, 
when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city. 
(Gen. 33:18.) 

i. And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called 
of God, as was Aaron. (Heb. 5:4.) Every good gift and every perfect 
gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with 
whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js. 1:17.) 

j. I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered 
my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; 
I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink 
abundantly, O beloved. (Song 5:1.) 

k. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain 
in you, and that your joy might be full. (Jno. 15:11.) Hitherto have ye 
asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may 
be full. (Jno. 16:24.) Fulfil ye my joy, that' ye be like-minded, having 
the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. (Phil. 2:2.) And these 
things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. (I Jno. 1:4.) 
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper 
and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our 
joy may be full. (II Jno. 12.) 

1. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no 
end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and 
to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for 
ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Is. 9:7.) 

m. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord 
from heaven. (I Cor. 15:47.) 

n. For the bread of God is he whicli cometh down from heaven, and 
giveth life unto the world. (Jno. 6:33.) 

o. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in 
our hearts. (II Cor. 1:22.) He that believeth on the Son of God hath 
the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; 
because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. (I Jno. 
5:10.) 

p. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 
(Jno. 1:16.) For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness 
dwell. (Col. 1:19.) 



q. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, 
that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion 
is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom 
that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:14.) Thou hast put all 
things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection 
under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see 
not all things put under him. (Heb. 2:S.) 

r. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to 
faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 1:17.) 

s. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: 
for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things 
which are written in the oook of the law to do them. (Gal. 3:10.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, 
which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my 
bow. (Gen. 48:22.) And the bones of Joseph, which the children of 
Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of 
ground which Jacob -bought of the sons of Hamor the father of She- 
chem, for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of 
the children of Joseph. (Josh. 24:32.) 

b. And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from 
Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim. and 
placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: 
and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. (II Ks. 
17:24.) And he said unto them, Te know how that it is an unlawful 
thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of 
another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man 
common or unclean. (Acts 10:2S.) 

c. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God. The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) He that spared not his own Son, but deliv- 
ered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us 
all things? (Rom. 8:32.) 

d. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of sal- 
vation. (Is. 12:3.) For my people have committed two evils: they have 
forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cis- 
terns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. (Jer. 2:13.) In that 
day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. (Zech. 13:1.) 

e. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that com- 
eth to me shall never hunger ; '"and he that believeth on me shall never 
thirst. (Jno. 6:35.)

the water that I shall give him f shall be in him 
a well of water springing up into everlasting 
life. 

15 The 'woman saith unto him, Sir, give me 
this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither 
to draw. 

16 Je'§us saith unto her, Go^ call thy hus- 
band, and come hither. 

17 The woman answered and said, I have no 
husband. Je'sus said unto her, Thou hast well 
said, I have no husband: 

18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he 
whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in 
that saidst thou truly. 

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, 7, I per- 
ceive that thou art a prophet. 

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; 
and ye say, that in 'Je-ru'sa-lem is the place 
where men ought to worship. 

21 Je'§us saith unto her, Woman, believe me, 
the hour cometh, when iye shall neither in this 
mountain, nor yet at Je-ru'sa-lem, worship the 
Father. 

22 Ye ivorship ye knoiv not what: ive know 
what we ivorship: for ^salvation is of the Jews. 

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when 
the true worshippers shall worship the Father 
in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh 
such to ivorship him. 

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship 
him must ivorship him in spirit and in truth. 

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that 
; Mes-si'as cometh, which is called Christ: when 
he is come, he will tell us all things. 

26 Je'sus saith unto her, I that speak unto 
thee 5 am he. 

27 11 And upon this came his disciples, and 
marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet 
no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talk- 
est thou with her? 

28 The woman then left her waterpot, and 
went her way into the city, and saith to the 
men, 

29 Come, see a man, which told me all things 
that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 

'30 Then they went out of the city, and came 
unto him. 

31 f In the mean while his disciples prayed 
him, saying, Master, eat. 

32 But he said unto them, I have meat to 
eat that ye know not of. 



5. Christ has gradually led the 

woman up to the point where he can 

reveal to her his identity — he is the 
Messiah. 



6. In vs. 43-54 is an account of 
Christ in Galilee and the healing of 
the nobieinau's son. 



33 Therefore said the disciples one to an- 
other, Hath any man brought him ought to 
eat? 

34 Je'sus saith unto them. m My meat is to 
do the will of him that sent me, and to finish 
his work. 

35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, 
and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto 
you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; 
n for. they are white already to harvest. 

36 And °he that reapeth receiveth wages, 
and gather eth fruit unto life eternal: that both 
he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice 
together. 

37 And herein is that saying true, One sow- 
eth, and another reapeth. 

38 / sent you to reap that whereon ye be- 
stowed no labour: Pother men laboured, and ye 
are entered into their labours. 

39 H And smany of the Sa-mar'i-tans. of that 
city believed on him for the saying of the 
woman, which testified, He told me all that 
ever I did. 

40 So when the Sa-mar'i-tan§ were come 
unto him, they besought him that he would 
tarry with them : and he abode there two days. 

41 And 'many more believed because of his 
own word; 

42 And said unto the woman, Now we be- 
lieve, not because of thy saying: for we have 
heard him ourselves, and know that this is in- 
deed the Christ, the s Saviour of the world. 

43 II "Now after two days he departed thence, 
and went into Gal'i-lee. 

44 For *Je'§us himself testified, that a 
prophet hath no honour in his "own country. 

45 Then when he was come into Gal'i-lee, 
the Gal-i-las'an§ received him, "having seen all 
the things that he did at Je-ru'sa-lem at the 
feast : r for they also went unto the feast. 

46 So Je'§us came again into Ca'na of Gal'- 
i-lee, where he made the water wine. And 
there was a certain nobleman, whose son was 
sick at Ca-per'na-um. 

47 When he heard that Je'§us was come out 
of Ju-dse'a into Gal'i-lee, he went unto him, 
and besought him that he would come down, 

' and heal his son : for he was at the point of 
death. 

48 Then said Je'§us unto him, Except w ye 
see signs and w wonders, ye will not believe. 



t. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his 
belly shall flow rivers of living water. (Jno. 7:38.) 

g. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: 
he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth 
not the record that God gave of his Son. (I Jno. 5:10.) 

h. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, 
That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited 
his people. (Lu. 7:16.) Many of the people therefore, when they heard 
this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. (Jno. 7:40.) 

i. But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of 
all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye 
seek, and thither thou shalt come. (Dt. 12:5.) 

j. For from the rising of the sun, even unto the going down of the 
same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place 
incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my 
name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Mai. 
1.11.) I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, 
without wrath and doubting. (I Tim. 2:8.) 

k. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up 
to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he 
will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion 
shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Is 
2:3.) Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the 
glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of 
God, and the promises. (Rom. 9:4.) 

1. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the 
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken. 
(Dt. 18:15.) 

m. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips, 
I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. 
(Job 23:12.) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, 
but the will of him that sent me. (Jno. 6:38.) 

n. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, 
but the laborers are few. (Mat. 9:37.) 

o. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firma- 
ment; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever 
and ever. (Dan. 12:3.) 

p. Unto whom it was revealed,' that not unto themselves, but unto 
us, they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by 
them that have preached the Gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent 
down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. (I 
Pet. 1:12.) 



q. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) 

r. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my 
soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth 
judgment to the Gentiles. (Is. 42:1.) 

s. And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, 
but also for the sins of the whole world. (I Jno. 2:2.) For therefore we 
both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who 
is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. (I Tim. 4:10.) 
For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which 
is Christ the Lord. (Lu. 2:11.) Him hath God exalted with his right 
hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, 
and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31.) God hath fulfilled the same unto 
us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also 
written in the second .psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begot- 
ten thee. (Acts 13:33.) 

t. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed 
is the Son of man. (Mat. 13:37.) 

u. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him. Rabbi, we 
know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these 
miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. (Jno. 3:2.) 

v. Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord 
thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened 
bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and 
they shall not appear before the Lord empty. (Dt. 16:16.) 

w. . I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high 
God hath wrought toward me. (Dan. 4:2.) He delivereth and rescueth. 
and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath 
delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. (Dan. 6:27.) For there 
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs 
and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the 
very elect. (Mat. 24:24.) For false Christs and false prophets shall 
rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, 
even the elect. (Mk. 13:22.) And I will show wonders in heaven above, 
and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke 
(19). Ye men of Israel, hear these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a man 
approved of God among you by miracles and vvonders and signs, which 
God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know (22). 
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done 
by the apostles. (Acts 2:19, 22, 43.) By stretching forth thine hand to 
heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy

Ch. 



ST. JOHN 



A. D. 31 



49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come 
down ere my child die. 

50 Je'sus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy 
son liveth. And the man believed the word that 
Je'sus had spoken unto him, and he went his 
way. 

51 And as he was now going down, the serv- 
ants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son 
liveth. 

52 Then enquired he of them the hour when 
he began to amend. And they said unto him, 
Yesterday at the seventh Tiour the fever left 
him. 

53 So the father knew that it was at the 
same hour, in the which Je'sus said unto him, 
Thy son 'liveth: and •'himself believed, and his 
whole house. 

_54 This is again the second s miracle that 
Je'sus did, when he was come out of Ju-dae'a 
into Gall-lee. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 Jesus oti the sabbath day cureth him that was 
diseased eight and thirty years. 10 The Jews 
persecute him for it. 17 He ansivereth for 
himself, shelving by the testimony of his 
Father, 32 of John, 36 of his works, 39 and 
of the scriptures, who he is. 

1 1 After "this there was a feast of the Jews; 
and Je'sus went up to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 Now there is at Je-ru'sa-lem by the sheep 
market a pool, which is called in the HeTn-ew 
tongue Be-thes'da, having five porches. 

3 2 In these lay a great multitude of impotent 
folk, of blind, halt, witbfered, waiting for the 
moving of the water. 

4 G For an angel went down at a certain sea- 
son into the pool, and troubled the water: 
whosoever then first after the troubling of the 
water stepped in was made whole of whatso- 
ever disease he had. 

5 And a certain man was there, which had 
an infirmity thirty and eight years. 

6 When Je'sus saw him lie, and knew that 
he had been now a long time in that case, he 
saith unto him, l Wilt thou be made whole? 

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I 
have no man, when the water is troubled, to 
put me into the pool: but while I am coming, 
another steppeth down before me. 

8 Je'sus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy 
bed, and walk. 

9 And immediately the man was made whole, 



.. Due p. m.. at the s^me hoar 
the son was healed. 



S. The first miracle being at the 
wedding at Canaan — turning the wa- 
ter into wine. 



Ch. 5. A. D. 31. 



1. Ch. 5 is devoted to the account 
of Christ's healing the impotent man 
at Bethesda and of the animositv 
which it produced in the hearts of 
the Jews. 



2. Infirm 



3. It is claimed by the Biblical 
scholars that verse 4 is not from 
the pen of John. While John ac- 
knowledged the popular belief in the 
power of the pool to heal disease, 
yet he does not give it as his own 
opinion nor assert it as a fact — he 
simply states it as a current belief. 



4. In vs. 17^17 John records his 
first great discourse of Jesus deliv- 
ered to the hostile Jews. 



5. In no place is the Father spo- 
ken of as the judge. The Son (as 
the Son of man and Son of God) is 
the judge. 



6. In vs. 24-29 are stated the 
two-fold powers delegated to the 
Son. viz.. first, quickening with spir- 
itual life the believing soul: second, 
the resurrection of the bodv. 



1 and took up his bed, and walked: and on the 
same day was the sabbath. 

10 r The Jews therefore said unto him that 
was cured, It is the sabbath day: c it is not 
lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 

11 He answered them, He that made me 
whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy 
bed, and walk. 

12 Then asked they him, What man is that 
which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and 
walk? 

13 And he that was healed wist not who it 
was: for Je'sus had conveyed himself away, a 
multitude being in that place. 

14 Afterward Je'sus fmdeth him in the tem- 
ple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made 
whole: d sin no more, lest a worse thing come 
unto thee. 

15 The man departed, and told the Jews 
that it was Je'sus, which had made him whole. 

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute 
Je'sus, and sought to slay him, because he had 
done these things on the sabbath day. 

17 r ~ : But Je'sus answered them, c My Father 
worketh hitherto, and I work. 

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to 
kill him, because he not only had broken the 
sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, 
^making himself equal with God. 

19 Then answered Je'sus and said unto them, 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, sThe Son can do 
nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Fa- 
ther do: for what things soever he doeth, these 
also doeth the Son likewise. 

20 For Hhe Father loveth the Son, and shew- 
eth him all things that himself doeth: and he 
will shew him greater works than these, that 
ye may marvel. 

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, 
and quickeneth them; i even so the Son quick- 
eneth whom he will. 

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but >hath 
committed all 'judgment unto the S071: 

23 That all men should ^'honour the Son, even 
as they honour the Father. He that honoureth 
not the Son honoureth not the Father which 
hath sent him. 

24 ^Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that 
heareth my word, and believeth on him that 
sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not 
come into condemnation; but is passed from 
death unto life. 

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour 
is coming, and now is, when l the dead shall 



child Jesus. (Acts 4:30.) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for 
his mercy: as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among 
the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. (Rom. 15:9.) Truly the signs 
of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and 
wonders, and mighty deeds. (II Cor. 12:12.) Even him. whose coming 
is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying won- 
ders. (II Thess. 2:9.) God also bearing them witness, both with signs 
and wonders, and with divers miracies, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, 
according to his own will? (Heb. 2:4.) 

x. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat be- 
fore them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. (Acts 
16:34.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lord 
thy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth 
out of Egypt by night. iDt. 16:1.) 

b. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of 
the needy. (Ps. 72:13.) Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwell- 
eth on high, Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in 
heaven, and in the earth! (Ps. 113:5, 6.) 

c. [The fourth commandment.] Remember the sabbath day, to 
keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work: But the 
seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do 
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor 
thy maid-servant, not thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy 
gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea. and 
all that in them is, and rested the seventh dav: wherefore the Lord 
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (Ex. 20:8-11.) Thus saith 
the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath 
day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. (Jer. 17:21.) But when 
the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him. Behold, thy disciples do that 
which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. (Mat. 12:2.) And he 
saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do 
evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. (Mk. 3:4.) 

d. Then goeth he. and taketh with himself seven other spirits more 
wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last 
state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto 
this wicked generation (Mat. 12:45.) She said. Xo man, Lord. And 



Jesus said unto her, Xeither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 
(Jno. 8:11.) 

e. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: 
the night cometh, when no man can work. (Jno. 9:4.) Believest thou 
not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I 
speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, that dwelleth in 
me, he doeth the works. (Jno. 14:10.) 

f. Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, and against the man that 
is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts; smite the Shepherd, and the sheep 
shall be scattered, and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. (Zech. 
13:7.) I and my Father are one. (Jno. 10:30.) Who, being in the form 
of God. thought it not robbery to be equal with God. (Phil. 2:6.) 

g. Then said Jesus unto them. When ye have lifted up the Son of 
man, then shall ye knew that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; 
but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. (Jno. 8:28.) 
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the 
night ccmeth, when no man can work. (Jno. 9:4.) 

h. And lo a voice from heaven, saying. This is my beloved Son, in 
whom I am well pleased. (Mat. 3:17.) The Father loveth the Son, and 
hath given all things into his hand. (Jno. 3:35.) 

i. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood 
still. And he said. Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. (Lu. 7:14.) And 
he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, 
arise. (Lu. S:34.) 

i All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man 
knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither knoweth any man the Father, 
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (Mat. 
11:27.) As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give 
eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (Jno. 17:2.) 

k. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] 
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (I Jno. 2:23.) 
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty 
elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and 
golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. (Rev. 5:8.) 

1. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but 
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live 
by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 
(Gal. 2:20.) 



Ch. 6 



ST. JOHN 



A. D. 32

hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that 
hear shall live, 

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; 
so hath he given to the Son to have life in him- 
self; 

• 27 And hath given him authority to execute 
judgment also, ^because m he is the Son of man. 

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is com- 
ing, in the which all that are in the graves shall 
hear his voice, 

29 And "shall come forth; they that have 
done good, unto the resurrection of life; and 
they that have done evil, unto the resurrection 
of damnation. 

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I 
hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; be- 
cause I seek not mine own will, but the will 
of the Father which hath sent me. 

31 s // I bear witness of myself, my witness 
is not true. 

32 % There is another that beareth witness 
of me; and I knoiv that the witness which he 
witnesseth of me is true. 

33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness 
unto the truth. 

34 But I receive not testimony from man: 
but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 

35 He was a burning and °a shining light: 
and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in 
his light. 

36 r But I have greater witness than that of 
John: for the works which the Father hath 
given me to finish, the same works that I do, 
bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent 
me. 

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent 
me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither 
heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 

38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: 
for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 

39 % Search the scriptures; for in them ye 
think ye have eternal life: and they are they 
which testify of me. 

40 And ye ivill not come to me, that ye might 
have life. 

41 "I receive Pnot honour from men. 

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love 
of God in you. 

43 / am come in my Father's name, and ye 
receive me not: if another shall come in his own 
name, him ye will receive. 

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour 
one of another, and seek not ithe honour that 
cometh from God only? 

45 10 Do not think that I will accuse you to 
the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even 
Mo'ses, in whom ye trust. 

46 For had ye believed Mo'§es, ye would have 
believed me: ''for he wrote of me. 

47 But if ye s believe not his writings, how 
shall ye believe my words? 



7. In v. 27 is stated the reason 
why the Father has delegated the 
judgeship unto the Son. 



S. In vs. 31-47 Christ states the 
three witnesses to his Sonsnip with 
God. viz. — (1) John the Baptist, vs. 
31-35; (2) His works, v. 36; (3) 
The scriptures, vs. 37-40. 



9. In vs. 41-44 Jesus states that 
the cause for the unbelief of the 
people regarding him is the desire 
for human honor, i. e.. the Jews 
were zealous in seeking human honor 
and power, but as Christ came to 
honor and glorify God, the Father, 
the Jews rejected him, preferring a 
Messiah after the style of their own 
hearts. 



10. In vs. 45-47 Christ declares 
to the Jews that he will not accuse 
them of their sins, as he has come 
to save them, but that the accuser 
is Moses, the one they profess to 
love, because Moses wrote the law 
and through the law they are con- 
demned already. 



Ch. 6. A. D. 32. 



1. In vs. 1-14 is an account of the 
feeding of the 5,000; parallel to Mat. 
14:13-22, Mark 6:32-44, Luke 9:10- 
17. This is one of the two miracles 
recorded by all the apostles, the 
other being Malchus' ear healed. 



That is, the last ch. 



3. In vs. 15-21 Jesus walks on the 
sea; parallel to Mat. 14:22-36 and 
Mark 6:45-56. 



CHAPTER 6. 
1 Christ feedeth five thousand men with five 
loaves and two fishes. 16 Withdrawing him- 
self, he walked on the sea to his disciples: 
32 declareth himself to be the bread of life 
to believers. 66 Many discijiles depart from 
him. 

1 2 After "these ^things Je'sus went over the 
sea of Gal'i-lee, which is the sea of Ti-be'ri-as. 

2 And a great multitude followed him, be- 
cause they saw his miracles which he did on 
them that were diseased. 

3 And Je'§us went up into a mountain, and 
there he sat with his disciples. 

4 *And the passover, a feast of the Jewg, 
was nigh. 

5 If c When Je'§us then lifted up his eyes, and 
saw a great company come unto him, he saith 
unto Phil'ip, Whence shall we buy bread, that 
these may eat? 

6 And this he said to prove him : for he him- 
self knew what he would do. 

7 Phil'ip answered him, ''Two hundred pen- 
nyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that 
every one of them may take a little. 

8 One of his disciples, An'drew, Si'mon Pe'- 
ter's brother, saith unto him, 

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley 
loaves, and two small fishes: c but what are 
they among so many? 

10 And Je'§us said, Make the men sit down. 
Now there was much grass in the place. So 
the men sat down, in number about five thou- 
sand. 

11 And Je'§us took the loaves; and when he 
had f given thanks, he distributed to the disci- 
ples, and the disciples to them that were set 
down; and likewise of the fishes as' much as 
they would. 

12 When they were filled, he said unto his 
disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, 
that nothing be lost. 

13 Therefore they gathered them together, 
and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of 
the five barley loaves, which remained over and 
above unto them that had eaten. 

14 Then those men, when they had seen the 
miracle that Je'§us did, said, This is of a truth 
-'that prophet that should come into the world. 

15 11 3 When Je'§us therefore perceived that 
they would come and take him by force, to 
make him a king, he departed again into a 
mountain himself alone. 

16 And ''when even was now come, his disci- 
ples went down unto the sea, 

17 And entered into a ship, and went over 
the sea toward Ca-per'na-um. And it was now 
dark, and Je'sus was not come to them. 

18 And the sea arose by reason of a great 
wind that blew. 



m. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of 
man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, 
and they brought him near before him. (Dan. 7:13.) 

n. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for 
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and 
we shall be changed. (I Cor. 15:52.) 

o. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do 
well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, 
until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts. (II Pet. 1:19.) 

p. Xor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, 
when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. (I 
Thess. 2:6.) 

q. But he is a Jew which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that 
of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of 
men, but of God. (Rom. 2:29.) 

r. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) 

s. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the Prophets; let 
them hear them (29). And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and 
the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from 
the dead. (Lu. 16:29, 31.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, 
This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude 
away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 
(Mat. 14:15.) 

b. In the fourteacth day of the first month at even is the Lord's 
passover. (Lev. 23:5.) Observe the month of Abib, and keep the pass- 



over unto the Lord thy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy 
God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. (Dt. 16:1.) 

c. And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was 
moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. (Mat. 
14:14.) 

d. And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred 
thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they 
may eat a whole month. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for 
them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered to- 
gether for them, to suffice them? (Num. 11:21, 22.) 

e. And his servitor said, What! should I set this before an hun- 
dred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus 
saith the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. (II Ks. 4:43.) 

f. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy 
bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst 
of thee. (Ex. 23:25.) For it is sanctified by the word of God and 
prayer. (I Tim. 4:5.) 

g. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like 
unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak 
unto them all that I shall command him. (Dt. 18:18.) Therefore the 
Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, 
and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Is. 7:14.) And 
said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for an- 
other? (Mat. 11:3.) And they asked him, What then? Art thou 
Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he an- 
swered, No. (Jno. 1:21.) Many of the people therefore, when they 
heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. (Jno. 7:40.) 

h. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a 
mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there

Ch. 6 



ST. JOHN 



A. D. 32 



19 So when they had rowed about five and 
twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Je'sus 
walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the 
ship: and they were afraid. 

20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not 
afraid. 

21 Then they willingly received him into the 
ship: and immediately the ship was at the 
land whither they went. 

22 If The day following, when the people 
which stood on the other side of the sea saw 
that there was none other boat there, save that 
one whereinto his disciples were entered, and 
that Je'sus went not with his disciples into the 
boat, but that his disciples were gone away 
alone; 

23 (Howbeit there came other boats from 
Ti-be'ri-as nigh unto the place where they did 
eat bread, after that the Lord had given 
thanks:) 

24 When the people therefore saw that Je'sus 
was not there, neither his disciples, they also 
took shipping, and came to Ca-per'na-um, seek- 
ing for Je'sus. 

25 And when they had found him on the 
other side of the sea, they said unto him, 
Rab'bi, when earnest thou hither? 

26 \Te'sus answered them and said, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because 
ye saiv the miracles, but because ye did eat of 
the loaves, and were filled. 

27 Labour '"not l for the meat which perish- 
eth, but for that meat which endureth unto 
everlasting life, which the Son of man shall 
give unto you: if or him hath God the Father 
sealed. 

28 Then said they unto him, What shall we 
do, that we might work the works of God? 

29 Je'sus answered and said unto them, This 
is the work of God, that ye believe on him 
whom he hath sent. 

30 They said therefore unto him, A What sign 
shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe 
thee? what dost thou work? 

31 Our 'fathers did eat manna in the desert; 
as it is written, He gave them bread from 
heaven to eat. 

32 Then Je'sus said unto them, Verily, verily, 
I say unto you, Mo'ses gave you not that bread 
from heaven; but my Father giveth you the 
true bread from heaven. 

33 For the bread, of God is he xohich cometh 
down from heaven, and giveth life unto the 
world. 

34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore 
give us this bread. 

35 "And Je'sus said unto them, I am the 



4. In vs. 26-59 is contained the 
second address of Jesus delivered to 
the hostile Jews; the character of 
which, as well as the character of 
his miracles, was determined by the 
temper of his enemies. 



5. Labor not for the meat which 
perisheth, but for that meat which 
endureth unto everlasting life. (W.) 
Thus Jesus does not condemn labor 
for material things, but does seek to 
rivet the attention chiefly upon life 
everlasting. 



6. In the remainder of the ch. 
Christ addresses himself to the peo- 
ple as divided into three classes — 
First, his persecutors, the Jews, who 
reject him and his teachings; second, 
a body of Christians who have been 
converted to him; third, the 12 apos- 
tles. He presents to them all alike 
the true bread of life. 



7. In vs. 47-59 Jesus draws the 
comparison between himself and the 
manna in the wilderness. In vs. 47- 
50 he declares that what the manna 
was to the fathers in the wilder- 
ness, he is to all who accept him by 
faith. In vs. 51. 52. he declares his 
flesh to be the bread of life; as the 
Jewish fathers in faith ate the man- 
na, so we must accept Christ, the 
true bread of life, by faith. In vs. 
53-59. his blood is declared to be the 
symbol of life-giving principle. He 
that eateth his flesh and drinketh 
his blood shall live by him. 



bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never 
hunger: and he that believeth on me shall never 
thirst. 

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have 
seen me, and believe not. 

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come 
to me; and him that cometh to me I will in 
no wise cast out. 

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do 
mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 

39 And this is the Father's will which hath 
sent me, '"that of all which he hath given me I 
should lose nothing, but should raise it up 
again at the last day. 

40 And this is the will of him. that sent me, 
"that every one which seeth the Son, and be- 
lieveth on him, may have everlasting life: and 
I will raise him up at the last day. 

41 The Jews then murmured at him, because 
he said, I am the bread which came down from 
heaven. 

42 And they said, Is not this Je'sus, the son 
of Jo'seph, whose father and mother we know? 
how is it then that he saith, I came down from 
heaven? 

43 Je'sus therefore answered and said untQ 
them, Murmur not among yourselves. 

44 No man can come to me, except the Fa- 
ther which hath sent me draw him: and I will 
raise him up at the last day. 

45 °It is written in the prophets, And they 
shall be all taught of God. Every man there- 
fore that hath heard, and hath learned of the 
Father, cometh unto me. 

46 Not Pthat any man hath seen the Father, 
save ihe which is of God, he hath seen the 
Father. 

47 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, r He that 
believeth on me hath everlasting life. 

48 I am that bread of life. 

49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wil- 
derness, and are dead. 

50 This is the bread which cometh down from 
heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not 
die. 

51 J am the living bread which came doivn 
from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he 
shall live for ever: and s the bread that I will 
give is my flesh, which I ivill give for the life 
of the world. 

52 The Jews therefore ^strove among them- 
selves, saying, How can this man give us his 
flesh to eat? 

53 Then Je'sus said unto them, Verily, veri- 
ly, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the 
Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no 
life in you. 



alone. (Hat. 1-4:23.) And when even was come, the ship was in the 
midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. (Ilk. 6:47.) 

i. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall 
never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well 
of water springing up into everlasting life. (Jno. 4:14.) For the wages 
of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ 
our Lord. (Rom. 6:23.) 

j. And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, 
in whom I am well pleased. (Mat. 3:17.) And the Father himself, 
which hath sent me. hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard 
his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. (Jno. 5:37.) Ye men of 
Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God 
among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him 
in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know. (Acts 2:22.) 

k. And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, 
seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. (Mk. 8:11.) For the 
Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom. (I Cor. 1:22.) 

1. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to an- 
other, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said 
unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. (Ex. 
16:15.) And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof 
as the color of bdellium. (Num. 11:7.) And did all eat the same spir- 
itual meat. (I Cor. 10:3.) 

m. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, 
neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. (Jno. 10:28.) That the 
saying might be fulfilled which he spake, Of them which thou gavest 
me have I lost none. (Jno. 18:9.) For ye are dead, and your life is 
hid with Christ in God. (Col. 3:3.) 

n. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall 
never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well 
of water springing up into everlasting life. (Jno. 1:14.) 

o. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall 



be the peace of thy children. (Is. 54:13.) And they shall teach no 
more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 
Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them 
unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their in- 
iquity, and I will remember their sin no more. (Jer. 31:34.) This is 
the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the 
Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I 
write them. (Heb. 10:16.) 

p. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, 
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (Jno. 1:18.) 
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of 
me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 
(Jno. 5:37.) 

q. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man 
knoweth the Son, but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father, 
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (Mat. 
11:27.) All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man 
knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but 
the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. (Lu. 10:22.) But 
I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. (Jno. 7:29.) 
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath 
shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory 
of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (II Cor. 4:6.) 

r. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. 
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlast- 
ing life. (Jno. 3:16.) 

s. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith. Sacrifice 
an offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me (5). 
By the which will we are sanctified to the offering of the body of Jesus 
Christ once for all. (Heb. 10:5, 10.) 

t. So there was a division among the people because of him. (Jno. 
7:43.) There was a division therefore again amon.g the Jews for these 
sayings. (Jno. 10:19.)

54 Whoso cateth my flesh, and drinketh my 
blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up 
at the last day. 

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood 
is drink indeed. 

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my 
blood, "divelleth in me, and I in him. 

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I 
lire by the Father: so he that eateth me, even 
he shall lire by me. 

58 This is that bread which came down from 
heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and 
are dead: lie that eateth of this bread shall live 
for ever. 

59 These things said he in the synagogue, 
as he taught in Ca-per'na-um. 

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they 
had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; 
who can hear it? 

61 When Je'sus knew in himself that his dis- 
ciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth 
this offend you? 

62 What 'and if ye shall see the Son of man 
ascend up where he was before? 

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh 
profit eth nothing: the words that I speak unto 
you, "they are spirit, and they are life. 

64 But there are some of you that believe 
not. s For Je'§us knew from the beginning who 
they were that believed not, and who should 
betray him. 

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, 
that no man can come unto me, except it were 
given unto him of my Father. 

66 ' From that time many of his disciples 
-'went back, and walked no more with him. 

67 Then said Je'sus unto the twelve, Will ye 
also go away? 

68 Then Si'mon Pe'ter answered him, Lord, 
to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of 
eternal life. 

69 And we believe and are sure that thou 
art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 

70 Je'sus answered them, Have not I chosen 
you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 

71 He spake of Ju'das Is-car'i-ot the son of 
Si'mon: for he it was that should betray him, 
being one of the twelve. 

CHAPTER 7. 

1 Jesus reproveth the ambition and boldness of 
his kinsmen: 14 teachet-ii in the temple. 40 
Divers opinions of him among the people. 45 
The Pharisees are angry that their officers 
took him not, and chide with Nicodemus for 
taking his part. 
1 'After these things Je'sus walked in Gal'i- 

lee: for he would not walk in Jew'ry, because 

the Jews sought to kill him. 



Ch. 7. A. D. 32. 



1. Ch. 7 is an account of Christ 
at the Feast of Tabernacles. 



2. His brothers, sons of Joseph 
and Mary. Their names were Ju- 
das, Joseph. James " and Simeon. 
James became in later life "James 
the just," author of the Epistle of 
James; and Judas became Jude, au- 
thor of the epistle which bears his 
name. 



3. In vs. 11-36 is an account of 
Ch ist's first discourse at the Feast 
of Tabernacles. 



4. The Jews had been question- 
ing Jesus, asking him how he had 
learned to teach others when he 
himself was unlearned. Vs. 16-24 
contain his answer. 



2 Now the Jews/ feast of tabernacles was at 
hand. 

3 a His ^brethren therefore said unto him, De- 
part hence, and go into Ju-das'a, that thy disci- 
ples also may see the works that thou doest. 

4 For there is no man that doeth any thing 
in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known 
openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself 
to the world. 

5 For neither did his brethren believe in 
him. 

6 Then Je'sus said unto them, My time is 
not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 

7 b The world cannot hate you; but me it 
hateth, because I testify of it, that the works 
thereof are evil. 

8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet 
unto this feast; for my time is not yet full 
come. 

9 When he had said these words unto them, 
he abode still in Gal'i-lee. 

10 If But when his brethren were gone up, 
then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, 
but as it were in secret. 

11 ; 'Then the Jew§ sought him at the feast, 
and said, Where is he? 

12 And c there was much murmuring among 
the people concerning him: for some d said, He 
is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiv- 
eth the people. 

13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for 
fear of the Jew§. 

14 f Now about the midst of the feast Je'- 
sus went up into the temple, and taught. 

15 And the Jew§ marvelled, saying, How 
knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 

16 "Je'sus answered them, and said, My ('doc- 
trine is not mine, but his that sent me. 

17 flf any man will do his will, he shall 
know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or 
whether I speak of myself. 

18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his 
own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that 
sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteous- 
ness is in him. 

19 Did Snot Mo'ses give you the law, and yet 
none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye 
about to kill me? 

20 The people answered and said, Thou hast 
a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 

21 Je'sus answered and said unto them, / 
have done one work, and ye all marvel. 

22 Mo'ses therefore gave unto you circum- 
cision; (not because it is of Mo'§es, n but of the 
fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise 
a man. 

23 // a man on the sabbath day receive cir- 
cumcision, that the law of Mo'§e§ should not be 
broken; are ye angry at me, because I have 



u. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (I Cor. 6:17.) 
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in 
him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which 
he hath given us. (I Jno. 3:24.) Whosoever shall confess that Jesus 
is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have 
known and believed the love that God 'hath to us. God is love; and 
he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (I Jno. 
4:15, 16.) 

v. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came 
down from heaven, even the Son cf man which is in heaven. (Jno. 
3:13.) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he 
was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9.) 
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity 
captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Eph. 4:8.) 

w. This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quick- 
ened me. (Ps. 119:50.) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, 
and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing 
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a 
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12.) 

x. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew 
all men. (Jno. 2:24.) For he knew who should betray him; therefore 
said he. Ye are not all clean. (Jno. 13:11.) 

y. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the 
plow-, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (Lu. 9:62.) 
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul 
shall have no pleasure in him. (Heb. 10:38.) They went out from us, 
but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would no 
doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be 
made manifest that they were not all of us. (I Jno. 2:19.) 

Chanter 7. 

a. While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his 



brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Mat. 12:46.) 
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with 
the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 
(Acts 1:14.) 

b. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but 
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the 
world, therefore the world hateth you. (Jno. 15:19.) 

c. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, 
because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man 
that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among 
them. (Jno. 9:16.) 

d. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the 
multitude, because they took him for a prophet. (Mat. 21:46.) And 
there came a fear on ail: and they glorified God, saying, That a great 
prophet is risen up among us; and. That God hath visited his people. 
(Lu. 7:16.) 

e. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent 
me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should 
speak. (Jno. 12:49.) He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: 
and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent 
me. (Jno. 14:24.) 

f. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going 
forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the 
rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (Hos. 6:3.) Why do 
ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 
(Jno. 8:43.) 

g. This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the 
Angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: 
who received the lively oracles to give unto us. (Acts 7:38.) 

h. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you 
and thy seed after thee; Every man-child among you shall be circum- 
cised. (Gen. 17:10.)

made a man every whit whole on the sabbath 
day? 

24 l Judge not according to the appearance, 
but judge righteous judgment. 

25 Then said some of them of Je-ru'sa-lem, 
Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 

26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say 
nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed 
that this is the very "Christ? 

27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is ': 
but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth 
whence he is. 

28 Then cried Je'§us in the temple as he 
taught, saying, 'Ye both know vie, and ye know 
whence I am: and I am not come of myself, 
but he that sent me Hs true, whom ye know not. 

29 But '/ know him: for I am from him, 
and he hath sent me. 

30 "Then they sought to take him: but no 
man laid hands on him, because his hour was 
not yet come. 

31 And many of the people believed on him, 
and said, When Christ cometh, will he do 
more miracles than these which this man hath 
done? 

32 II The Phar'i-sees heard that the people 
murmured such things concerning him; and 
the Phar'i-sees. and the chief priests sent offi- 
cers to take him. 

33 Then said Je'§us unto them, m Yet a little 
ivhile am I ivith you, and then I go unto him 
that sent me. 

34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: 
and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 

35 Then said the Jews, among themselves, 
Whither will he go, that we shall not find 
him? will he go unto the "dispersed among the 
Gen'tiles, and teach the Gen'tileg? 

36 What manner of saying is this that he 
said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: 
and where I am, thither ye cannot come? 

37 7 In the last day, that great day of the 
feast, Je'sus stood and cried, saying, °If any 
man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture 
hath said, out of his s belly shall flow rivers of 
living water. 

39 (But Pthis spake he of the Spirit, which 
they that believe on him should receive: for the 
Ho'ly 9 Ghost was not yet given; because that 
Je'§us was not yet ^glorified.) 

40 If Many of the people therefore, when 
they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is 
the Prophet. 

41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some 
said, Shall Christ come out of Gal'i-lee? 

42 Hath 'not the scripture said, That Christ 
cometh of the seed of Da'vid,_ and out of the 
town of Beth'le-hem, where David was? 



5. That is. the people began to 
think that even the rulers had been 
compelled to believe him te be the 
Christ, hence no longer sought his 
life. 



6. In vs. 30-37 the Judaists be- 
came enr-iged at his teachings and 
sought to lay hands on him; but. 
his hour not yet having come, they 
were unnerved and over-awed by 
power they knew not whence. 



7. In vs. 37-53 is an account of 
Christ's second discourse at the 
Feast of Tabernacles. 



8. The inner man, his soul. (Prov. 

20:27) — "The spirit of man is the 

candle of the Lord, searching all the 
inward parts." 



0. That is, as Christ had not yet 

returned to the Father, he had not 

yet sent the active ministry of the 
Holy Ghost Into the world. 



10. In vs. 45-53 the chief priests 
and Pharisees manifest consternation 
and confusion over the officers' in- 
ability to take him.

1. The place where Jesus usually 
retired at night during the pas- 
sion week, and the only mention 
John makes of the term. 



2. In vs. 2-11 is an account of 
where the scribes and Pharisees 
sought to entrap Christ by bringing 
unto him a woman accused of adul- 
tery, the punishment for which was 
death, and asking him what should 
be done with her. 



43 So there was a division among the people 
because of him. 

44 And some of them would have taken him; 
but no man laid hands on him. 

45 If 10 Then came the officers to the chief 
priests and Phar'i-see§; and they said unto 
them, Why have ye not brought him? 

46 The officers answered, Never man spake 
like this man. 

47 Then answered them the Phar'i-see§, Are 
ye also deceived? 

48 Have any of the rulers or of the Phar'i- 
sees. believed on him? 

49 But this people who knoweth not the law 
are cursed. 

50 Nic-o-de'mus saith unto them, (he that 
came to Je'§us by night, being one of them,) 

51 Doth our law judge any man. before it 
hear him, and know what he doeth? 

52 They answered and said unto him, Art 
thou also of Gal'i-lee? Search, and look: for 
out s of Gal'i-lee ariseth no prophet. 

53 And every man went into his own house. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 Christ delivereth the woman taken in adul- 
tery. 12 He preacheth himself the light of 
the world, 33 and answereth the Jews. 

1 Je'§us went unto the mount 'of 61'ives. 

2 2 And early in the morning he came again 
into the temple, and all the people came unto 
him; and he sat down, and taught them. 

3 And the scribes and Phar'i-sees. brought 
unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when 
they had set her in the midst, 

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman 
was taken in adultery, in the very act. 

5 Now a Mo'§e§ in the law commanded us, 
that such should be stoned: but what sayest 
thou? 

6 This they said, tempting him, that they 
might have to accuse him. But Je'§us stooped 
down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, 
as though he heard them not. 

7 So when they continued asking him, he 
lifted up himself, and said unto them, *He that 
is without sin among you, let him first cast a 
stone at her. 

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on 
the ground. 

9 And they which heard it, being convicted 
by their own conscience, went out one by one, 
beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: 
and Je'§us was left alone, and the woman 
standing in the midst. 

10 When Je'sus had lifted up himself, and 
saw none but the woman, he said unto her, 
Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath 
no man condemned thee?

myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither 
I go; but ye cannot tell wnence I come, and whither I go. (Jno. 8:14.) 

k. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that 
the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. (Jno. 5:32.) God for- 
bid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That 
thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when 
thou art judged. (Rom. 3:4.) 

1. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man 
knoweth the Son, but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father,

bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say. Come. And let him 
that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of

daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your 
young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:2S.)

Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were 
written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. (Jno. 
12:16.)

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Je'§us said 
unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and 
sin no more. 

12 1i : Then spake Je'§us again unto them, 
saying, / am the light of the world: he that 
followcth me shall not ivalk in darkness, but 
shall have the light of life. 

13 The Phar'i-sees therefore said unto him, 
Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is 
not true. 

14 Je'§us answered and said unto them, 
Though I bear record of myself, yet my record 
is true: for I know whence I came, and whither 
I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and 
whither I go. 

15 Ye judge after the flesh; I ''judge no man. 

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: 
for I am not alone, but I and the Father that 
sent me. 

17 It is also written in your law, that the 
testimony of two men is true. 

18 / am one that bear witness of myself, and 
c the Father that sent me beareth witness of 
me. 

19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy 
Father? Je'§us answered, Ye neither know 
me, nor my Father: if ye had known me,- ye 
should have known my Father also. 

20 These words spake Je'sus in the treasury, 
as he taught in the temple: and no man laid 
hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. 

21 5 Then said Je'sus again unto them, / go 
viy way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die 
in your sins: ivhither I go, ye cannot come. 

22 Then said the Jew§, Will he kill himself? 
because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot 
come. 

23 And he said unto them, d Ye are from be- 
neath; I am from above: ye are of this world; 
I am not of this world. 

24 / said therefore unto you, that ye shall 
die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I 
am he, ye shall die in your sins. 

25 Then said they, unto him, Who art thou? 
And Je'sus saith unto them, Even the same 
that I said unto you from the beginning. 

26 / have many things to say and to judge 
of you: but he that sent me is true; and I 
speak to the world those things which I have 
heard of him. 

27 They understood not that he spake to 
them of the Father. 

28 Then* said Je'sus unto them, When ye 
r have lifted up the Son of man, Hhen shall ye 
know that I am he, and that I do nothing of 
myself; but as omy Father hath taught me, I 
speak these things. 

29 And h he that sent me is with me: the 
Father hath not left me alone; for I do always 
those things that please him.

30 As he spake these words, many believed 
on him. 

31 Then said Je'gus to those Jew§ which be- 
lieved on him, // ye continue in my word, then 
are ye my disciples indeed; 

32 And ye shall know the truth, and i the 
truth shall make you free. 

33 11 They answered him, We be A'bra-ham's 
seed, and were never in bondage to any man: 
how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 

34 Je'§us answered them, Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the 
servant of sin. 

35 And the servant abideth not in the house 
for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 

36 Uf the Son therefore shall make you 
free, ye shall be free indeed. 

37 °J knoiv that ye are A'bra-ham's seed; 
but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath 
no place in you. 

38 / speak that which I fcave seen with my 
Father: and ye do that which ye have seen 
with your father. 

39 They answered and said unto him, A'bra- 
ham /i is our father. Je'sus saith unto them, 
'If ye were A'bra-ham's children, ye would do 
the works of A'brd-ham. 

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that 
hath told you the truth, which I have heard of 
God: this did not A'brd-ham. 

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then 
said they to him, We be not born of fornica- 
tion; we have one Father, even God. 

42 Je'sus said unto them, '"If God were your 
Father, ye would love me: for I "proceeded 
forth and came from God; neither came I of 
myself, but he sent me. 

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? 
even because ye cannot hear my word. 

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the 
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a 
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in 
the truth, because there is no truth in him. 
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his 
own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye be- 
lieve me not. 

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? 
And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe 
me? 

47 He "that is of God heareth God's words: 
ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not 
of God. 

48 Then answered the Jew§, and said unto 
him, Say we not well that thou art a J Sa- 
mar'i-tan, and hast a devil? 

49 Je'sus answered, / have not a devil; but 
I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 

50 And p I seek not mine own glory: there is 
one that seeketh and judgeth. 



c. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne wit- 
ness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen 
his shape. (Jno. 5:37.) For he received from God the Father honor 
and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent 
glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (II Pet. 
1:17.) 

d. He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth 
is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven 
is above all. (Jno. 3:31.) 

e. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so 
must the Son of man be lifted up. (Jno. 3:14.) Took branches of palm 
trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the 
King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. (Jno. 12:13.) 

f. I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians, both to 
the wise and to the unwise, (Rom. 1:14.) 

g. Verily, verily. I say unto thee We speak that we do know, and 
testify that we have seen: and ye receive not our witness. (Jno. 3:11.) 

h. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in 
me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the 
Father, that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (Jno. 14:10.) 

i. For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under 
the law, but under grace (14). Being then made free from sin, ye became 
the servants of righteousness. (Rom. 6:14 18.) For the law of the 
Spirit of life in Jesus Christ hath made me free from the law of sin 
and death. (Rom. 8:2.) So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be 
judged by the law of liberty. (Js. 2:12.) 

j. Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive 
delivered? (Is. 49:24.) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the 



Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (II Cor. 3:17.) Stand fast there- 
fore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not 
entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (Gal. 5:1.) And they sung 
a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open 
the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God 
by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. 
(Rev. 5:9.) 

k. And think not to say within yourselves. We have Abraham to 
our father; for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise 
up children unto Abraham. (Mat. 3:9.) 

1. For he is uot a Jew which is one outwardly: neither is that 
circumcision which is outward in the_ flesh. (Rom. 2:28.) Neither, be- 
cause they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac 
shall thy seed be called. (Rom. 9:7.) 

m. We love him, because he first loved us. (I Jno. 4:19.) Who- 
soever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one 
that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 
(I Jno. 5:1.) 

n. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, 
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting 
life. (Jno. 3:16.) 

o. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not 
of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the 
spirit of error. (I Jno. 4:6.) 

p. I receive not honor from men. (Jno. 5:41.) He that speaketh 
of himself seeketh his own glory but he that seeketh his glory that 
sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. (Jno. 
7:18.)

51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ilf a man 
keep my saying, he shall never see death. 

52 Then said the Jews, unto him, Now we 
know that thou hast a devil. r A 'bra-ham is 
dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a 
man keep my saying, he shall never taste of 
death. 

53 Art thou greater than our father A'bra- 
ham, which is dead? and the prophets are 
dead: whom makest thou thyself? 

54 Je'sus answered, If I honour myself, my 
honour is nothing: Hi is my Father that hon- 
our eth me; of whom ye say, that he is your 
God: 

55 Yet f ye have not known him; but I know 
him: and if I should say, I knoiv him not, I 
shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Mm, 
and keep his saying. 

56 Your father A' bra-ham "rejoiced to see 
my day: l 'and he saw it, and was glad. 

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art 
not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen 
A'bra-ham? 

58 Je'sus said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, Before A'bra-ham was, U T am. 

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: 
but Je'§us hid himself, and went out of the 
temple, going through the midst of them, and 
so passed by. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 The man that ivas born blind restored to 
sight. 13 The Pharisees excommunicate 
him: 35 but he is received of Jesus. 39 
Who they are whom Christ enlighteneth. 

1 'And as Je'sus passed by, he saw a man 
which was blind from his birth. 

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Mas- 
ter, who a did sin, this man, or his parents, that 
he was born blind? 

3 Je'sus answered, Neither hath this man 
sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of 
God should be made manifest in him. 

4 6 7 must work the works of him that sent 
me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no 
man can work. 

5 As long as I am in the world, C I am the 
light of the world. 

6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the 
ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he 
anointed the eyes of the blind man with the 
clay,

7 And said unto him, Go, d wash in the pool 
of Si-lo'am, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) 

' He went his way therefore, and washed, and 
came seeing. 

8 If The neighbours therefore, and they which 
before had seen him that he was blind, said. 
Is not this he that sat and begged? 

9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is 
like him: but he said, I am he. 

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were 
thine eyes opened? 

11 He_ answered and said, A man that is 
called Je'sus made clay, and anointed mine 
eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Si- 
lo'am, and wash: and I went and washed, and 
I received sight. 

12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? 
He said, I know not. 

13 U "They brought to the Phar'i-sees him 
that aforetime was blind. 

14 And it was the sabbath day when Je'sus 
made the clay, and opened his eyes. 

15 Then again the Phar'1-sees also asked him 
how he had received his sight. He said unto 
them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I 
washed, and do see. 

16 Therefore said some of the Phar'i-sees, 
This man is not of God, because he keepeth 
not the sabbath day. Others said, How can 
a man that is a sinner do such miracles? ^And 
there was a division among them. 

17 They say unto the blind man again, What 
sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine 
eyes? He said, -"He is a prophet. 

18 3 But the Jews did not believe concerning 
him, that he had been blind, and received his 
sight, until they called the parents of him that 
had received his sight. 

19 And they asked them, saying. Is this your 
son, who ye say was born blind? how then 
doth he now see? 

20 His parents answered them and said, We 
know that this is our son, and that he was 
born blind: 

21 But by what means he now seeth, we 
know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we 
know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall 
speak for himself. 

22 These words spake his parents, because 
''they feared the Jews : for the Jews had agreed 
already, that if any man did confess that he 



q. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and 
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not 
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (Jno. 
5:24.) 

r. Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live 
for ever? (Zech. 1:5.) These all died in faith, not having received 
the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of 
them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers 
and pilgrims on the earth. (Heb. 11:13.) 

s. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall 
show it unto you. (Jno. 16:14.) The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, 
and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom 
ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was 
determined to let him go. (Acts 3:13.) 

t. Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, saying, Ye both 
know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but 
he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. (Jno. 7:28.) 

u. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 
because thou hast obeyed my voice. (Gen. 22:18.) And the scripture, 
foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached 
before the Gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be 
blessed. (Gal. 3:8.)

let it? (Is. 43:13.) And he is before all things, and by him all things 
consist. (Col. 1:17.) Jesus Christ the same vesterday, and todav and 
for ever. (Heb. 13:S.) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the 
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, 
the Almighty. (Rev. 1:8.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his 
hand, they said among themselves. No doubt this man is a murderer, 
whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not 
to live. (Acts 28:4.) 



I AM: and he said, 
I AM hath sent me 



b. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that 
sent me, and to finish his work. (Jno. 4:34.) Jesus answered, Are 
there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he 
stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. (Jno. 11:9.) 
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. 
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he 
that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. (Jno. 12:35.) 
I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou 
gavest me to do. (Jno. 17:4.) 

c. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness compre- 
hended it not (5). That was the true Light, which lighteth every man 
that cometh into the world. (Jno. 1:5, 9.) And this is the condemna- 
tion, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather 
than light, because their deeds were evil. (Jno. 3:19.) Then spake 
Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that 
followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of 
life. (Jno. 8:12.) 

d. But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallum the son of Colho 
zeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and cov'ered it. and set 
up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the 
wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that 
go down from the city *of David. (Neh. 3:15.) Forasmuch as this 
people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in 
Rezin and Remaliah's son. (Is. S:6.) 

e. Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, 
according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again 
like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. (II Ks. 5:14.1 

f. And there was much murmuring among the people concerning 
him: for some said. He is a good man: others said. Nay; but he de- 
ceiveth -the people (12). So there was a division among the people be- 
cause of him. (Jno. 7 : 12. 43.) There was a division therefore again 
among the Jews for these sayings. (Jno. 10:19.) 

g. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the 
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken. 
(Dt. 18:15.) The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art 
a prophet. (Jno. 4:19.) Then those men, when they had seen the mir- 
acle that Jesus did. said. This is of a truth that prophet that should 
come into the world. (Jno. G:14.1 

h. Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on ■ 
him; but because of the Pharisees they d ; d not confess him, lest they

was Christ, he 'should be put out of the 
synagogue. 

23 Therefore said his parents, He is 4 of age; 
ask him. 

24 Then again called they the man that was 
blind, and said unto him, ■'Give God the praise: 
we know that this man is a sinner. 

25 He answered and said, Whether he be a 
sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, 
that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 

26 Then said they to him again, What did 
he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 

27 He answered them, I have told you al- 
ready, and ye did not hear: wherefore would 
ye hear again? will ye also be his disciples? 

28 Then they ^reviled him, and said, Thou 
art his disciple; but we are Mo'ses' disciples. 

29 We know that God spake unto Mo'ses: as 
for this fellow, we know not from whence 
he is. 

30 The man answered and said unto them, 
fr Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye 
know not from whence he is, and yet he hath 
opened mine eyes. 

31 Now we know that 'God heareth not sin- 
ners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, 
and doeth his will, him he heareth. 

32 Since the world began was it not heard 
that any man opened the eyes of one that was 
born blind. 

33 If this man were not of God, he could do 
nothing. 

34 They answered and said unto him, Thou 
wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou 
teach us? And they cast him out. 

35 Je'sus heard that they had cast him out; 
and when he had found him, he said unto him, 
Dost thou believe on "'the Son of God? 

36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, 
that I might believe on him? 

37 And Je'sus said unto him, Thou hast both 
seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he 
worshipped him. 

39 t °And Je'sus' said, For judgment I am 
come into this world, "that they which see not 
might see; and that they which see might be 
made blind. 



4. Not having succeeded in get- 
ting the testimony they desire, so 
they could condemn Christ, they 
make a second examination of the 
man whose sight had been restored.

the good shepherd. 



2. The door-keeper. 



3. A parable, because of spiritual 
truth presented through natural sym- 
bols. 



4. That is, the religious impostor. 



40 And some of the Phar'i-sees which were 
with him heard these words, °and said unto 
him, Are we blind also? 

41 Je'sus said unto them, // ye were blind, 
ye should have 'no sin: but now ye say, We 
see; therefore your sin remaineth. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 Christ is the door, and the good shepherd. 
24 He proveth by his works that he is the 
Son of Gcd: 39 escapeth the Jews. 

1 Eerily, verily, I say unto you, "He that 
entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, 
but climbeth up some other way, the same is a 
thief and a robber. 

2 But he that entereth in by the b door is 
the shepherd of the sheep. 

3 To him c the -porter openeth; and the sheep 
hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep 
by name, and leadeth them out. 

4 And ivhen he putteth forth his own sheep, 
he goeth before them, and the sheep follow 
him: for they know his voice. 

5 And a d stranger will they not follow, but 
will flee from him: for they know not the voice 
of strangers. 

6 This 'parable spake Je'sus unto them: but 
they understood not what things they were 
which he spake unto them. 

7 Then said Je'sus unto them again, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, I am the e door of the 
sheep. 

8 All ft hat ever came before me are thieves 
and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 

9 / am the door: by me if any man enter in, 
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, 
and find pasture. 

10 The sthief l cometh not, but for to steal, 
and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that 
they might have life, and that they might have 
it more abundantly. 

11 ''/ am the good shepherd: the good shep- 
herd giveth his life for the sheep. 

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the 
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth 
the wolf coming, and Heaveth the sheep, and 
fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scat- 
tereth the sheep. 



should be put out of the synagogue. (Jno. 12:42.) And of the rest 
durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. 
(Acts 5:13.) 

i. They shall put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time cometh, 
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. (Jno. 
16:2.) 

j. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth 
the law? Why go ye about to kill me? (Jno. 7:19.) 

k. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, 
and knowest not these things? (Jno. 3:10.) 

1. Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? (Job 
27:9.) There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride 
of evil men. (Job 35:12.) They cried, but there was none to save them; 
even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. (Ps. 18:41.) The eyes 
of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their 
cry. (Ps. 34:15.) If 1 regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not 
hear me. (Ps. 66:18.) Then shall they call upon me, but I will not 
answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. (Prov. 
1:28.) The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer 
of the righteous. (Prov. 15:29.) He that turneth away his ear from 
hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. (Prov. 28:9.) 

m. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, 
saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. (Mat. 14:33.) And Simon 
Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living 
God. (Mat. 16:16.) 

n. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing, see 
not: and hearing, they hear not; neither do they understand. (Mat. 
13:13.) To the one we are the savor of death unto death; and to the 
other the savor of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 
(II Cor. 2:16.) 

0. And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a 
light of them which are in darkness. (Rom. 2:19.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. His watchmen are hlind: they are all ignorant, they are all 
dumb dogs, they cannot bark: sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 
(Is. 56:10.) I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not 
spoken to them, yet they prophesied. (Jer. 23:21.) 

b. Take, heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over 
the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church 
of God, which he halh purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28.) 

c. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there 
are many adversaries. (I Cor. 16:9.) 

d. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and 
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and 
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. (Eph. 4:14.) 



e. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the 
Father. (Eph. 2:18.) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter 
into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. (Heb. 10:19.) 

f. Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep 
of my pasture! saith the Lord. (Jer. 23:1.) My people hath been lost 
sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned 
them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, 
they have forgotten their resting-place. (Jer. 50:6.) 

g. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves 
enter in among you, not sparing the flock. (Acts 20:29.) But there 
were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false 
teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, 
even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves 
swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) 

h. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather the 
lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently 
lead those that are with young. (Is. 40:11.) And I will set up one 
Shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; 
he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. (Ez. 34:23.) For 
thus saith the Lord Gcd; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, 
and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day 
that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my 
sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been 
scattered in the cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from 
the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them 
to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the 
rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them 
in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their 
fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall 
they feed upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed my flock, and I 
will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. I will seek that 
which was lest, and bring again that which was driven away, and will 
bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was 
sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with 
judgment. (Ez. 34:11-16.) Now the God of peace, that brought again 
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 
through the blood of the everlasting covenant. (Heb. 13:20.) And 
when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of 
glory that fadeth not away. (I Pet. 5:4.) For the Lamb which is in 
the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto liv- 
ing fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their 
eyes. (Rev. 7:17.) 

i. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not 
visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal 
that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still; but he shall eat 
the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. (Zech. 11:16.)

Ch. 11 



ST. JOHN 



A. D. 33 



13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hire- 
ling, and careth not for the sheep. 

14 I am the good shepherd, and iknow my 
sheep, and l 'am known of mine. 

15 As the Father knoiveth me, even so know 
I the Father: and I lay down my life for the 
sheep. 

16 And 'other sheep I have, which are not 
of this fold: them also I must bring, and they 
shall hear my voice; and "'there shall be one 
fold, and one shepherd. 

17 Therefore doth my Father Hove, me, be- 
cause I lay down my life, that I might take 
"it again. 

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it 
down of myself. I have power to lay it down, 
and I have power to take it again. This com- 
mandment have I received of my Father. 

19 H There was a division therefore again 
among the Jew§ for these sayings. 

20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, 
and is mad; why hear ye him? 

21 Others said, These are not the words of 
him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the 
.eyes of the blind? 

22 If 7 And it was at Je-ru'sa-lem the feast of 
the dedication, and it was winter. 

23 And Je'§us walked in the temple in S61'- 
o-mon's porch. 

24 Then came the Jew§ round about him, 
and said unto him, How long dost thou make 
us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us 
plainly. 

25 Je'sus answered them, I told you, and ye 
believed not: the works that I do in my Fa- 
ther's name, they bear witness of me. 

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of 
my sheep, as I said unto you. 

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know 
them, and they follow me: 

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and 
they shall never perish, neither shall any man 
pluck them out of my hand. 

29 My n Father, which gave them me, is 
greater than all; and no man is able to pluck 
them out of my Father's hand. 

30 "I and my Father are one. 

31 Then the Jews, took up stones again to 
stone him. 

32 Je'sus answered them, Many good works 
have I shewed you from my Father; for which 
of those works do ye stone me? 

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a 
good work we stone thee not; but for blas- 
phemy; and because that thou, being a man, 
makest ^thyself God. 

34 Je'sus answered them, Is it not written' 
in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the 
word of God came, and the scripture cannot 
be broken; 



5. The Son was given because of 
the Father's great love for man. 



6. . Christ not only conquers death, 
but honors resurrection by becoming 

it< th-st-frnits 



its first-fruits. 



7. In vs. 22-39 is an account of 
Jesus' attending the feast of dedica- 
tion at Jerusalem. 



Ch. 11. A. D. 33. 



1. Ch. 11 Is devoted to an ac- 
count of the raising of Lazarus from 
the dead and the consequences of it. 



36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath 
sanctified, and isent into the world, Thou blas- 
phemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 

37 If I do not the works of my Father, be- 
lieve me not. 

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, 
believe the works: that ye may know, and be- 
lieve, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 

39 Therefore they sought again to take him : 
but he escaped out of their hand, 

40 And went away again beyond Jor'dan 
into the place where John at first baptized; 
and there he abode. 

41 And many resorted unto him, and said, 
John did no miracle: but all things that John 
spake of this man were true. 

42 And 'many believed on him there. 

CHAPTER 11. 

1 Christ raiseth Lazarus. 45 Many Jews be- 
lieve. 49 Caiaphas prophesieth. 54 Jesus 
hid himself. 

1 *Now a certain man was sick, named Laz'- 
a-rus, of Beth'a-ny, the town of a Ma'ry and 
her sister Mar'tha. 

2 (It 6 was that Ma'ry which anointed the 
Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with 
her hair, whose brother Laz'a-rus was sick.) 

3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, say- 
ing, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 

4 When Je'sus heard that, he said, This 
sickness is not unto death, but for the glory 
of God, that the Son of God might be glorified 
thereby. 

5 Now Je'sus loved Mar'tha, and her sister. 
and Laz'a-rus. 

6 When he had heard therefore that he was 
sick, he abode two days still in the same place 
where he was. 

7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, 
Let us go into Jii-dse'd again. 

8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the 
Jew§ of late sought to stone thee; and goest 
thou thither again? 

9 Je'sus answered, Are there not twelve 
hours in the day? If any man walk in the 
day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the 
light of this world. 

10 But if a man walk in the night, he stum- 
bleth, because there is no light in him. 

11 These things said he: and after that he 
saith unto them, Our friend Laz'a-rus c sleep- 
eth; but I go, that I may awake him out of 
sleep. 

12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, 
he shall do well. 

13 Howbeit Je'sus spake of his death : but 
they thought that he had spoken of taking of 
rest in sleep. 

14 Then said Je'sus unto them plainly, Laz'- 
a-rus is dead. 



j. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this 
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: And, Let every one that 
nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (II Tim. 2:19.) 

k. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, 
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowl- 
edge of him. (Eph. 1:17.) That I may know him, and the power of 
h s resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made 
conformable unto his death. (Phil. 3:10.) 

1. The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet 
will I gather others to him, besides those that are gathered unto him. 
(Is, 56: .) 

m. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the moun- 
tains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall 
be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two king- 
doms any more at all. (Ez. 37:22.) For he is our peace, who hath 
made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition 
between us. (Eph. 2:14.) 

n. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest 
me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and 
they aavi kepi thy word. (Jno. 17:6.) 

o. And now 1 ;nii no more in the world, but these are in the world, 
and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those 
whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. (Jno. 
17:11.1 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, 
Hio Word, rind the Holy Chost: and these three are one. (I Jno. 5:7.) 

p. Then-fore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he 

■ inly had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, 
making himself equal with God. (Jno. 5:18.) 



q. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; 
but that the world through him might be saved. (Jno. 3:17.) Jesus 
said unto them. If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I pro- 
ceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent 
me. (Jno. 8:42.) 

r. As he spake these words many believed on him. (Jno. S:30.) 
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things 
which Jesus did, believed on him. (Jno. 11:45.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a cer- 
tain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into 
her house. (Lu. 10:38.) 

b. There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of 
very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 
(Mat. 26:7.) And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, 
when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought 
an alabaster box of ointment. (Lu. 7:37.) 

c. And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with 
thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the 
gods of the strangers of the land whither they go to be among them, 
and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with 
them. (Dt. 31:16.) And many of them, that sleep in the dust of the 
earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and 
everlasting contempt. (Dan. 12:2.) He said unto them. Give place; for 
the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 
(Mat. 9:24.) And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, 
lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell 
asleep. (Acts 7:60.) Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all 
sleep, but we shall all be changed. (I Cor. 15:51.)

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was 
nut there, to the intent ye may believe; never- 
theless let us go unto him. 

16 Then said Thorn 'as, which is called Dld'- 
y-mus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, 
that we may die with him. 

17 Then when Je'§us came, he found that he 
had lain in the grave 2 four days already. 

18 Now Beth'a-ny was nigh unto Je-ru'sa- 
lem, about fifteen "furlongs off: 

19 And many of the Jews, came to Mar'tha 
and Ma'ry, to comfort them concerning their 
brother. 

20 Then Mar'tha, as soon as she heard that 
Je'gus was coming, went and met him: but 
Ma'ry sat still in the house. 

21 Then said Mar'tha unto Je'§us, Lord, if 
thou hadst been here, my brother had not 
died. 

22 But I know, that even now, d whatsoever 
thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 

23 Je'§us saith unto her, Thy brother shall 
'rise again. 

24 Mar'tha saith unto him, fl know that he 
shall rise again in the resurrection at the last 
day. 

25 Je'§us said unto her, / am othe resurrec- 
tion, and the Hife: l he that believeth in me, 
though he were dead, yet shall he live: 

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in 
me shall never die. Believest thou this? 

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: ■'T believe 
that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, 
which should come into the world. 

28 And when she had so said, she went her 
way, and called Ma'ry her sister secretly, say- 
ing, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. 

29 As soon as she heard that, she arose 
quickly, and came unto him. 

30 Now Je'sus was not yet come into the 
town, but was in that place where Mar'tha 
met him. 

31 The Jew§ then which were with her in 
the house, and comforted her, when they saw 
Ma'ry, that she rose up hastily and went out, 
followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave 
to weep there. 

32 Then when Ma'ry was come where Je'§us 
was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, 
saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, 
my brother had not died. 

33 When Je'§us therefore saw her weeping, 
and the Jew§ also weeping which came with 
her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 

34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They 
said unto him, Lord, come and see. 

35 Je'sus wept. 



2. That is. by counting in the 
day he was called forth by Christ. 



3. About two miles. 



4. The raising of Lazarus from 
the dead produced great commotion 
among the people, as a result of 
which members of Sanhedrin have 
been summoned to take action 
against Jesus. The account is given 
in vs. 47-57. 



36 Then said the Jew§, Behold how he loved 
him! 

37 And some of them said, Could not this 
man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have 
caused that even this man should not have 
died? 

38 Je'§us therefore again groaning in him- 
self cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and 
a stone lay upon it. 

39 Je'§us said, Take ye away the stone. 
Mar'tha, the sister of him that was dead, saith 
unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for 
he hath been dead four days. 

40 Je'§us saith unto her, Said I not unto 
thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou should- 
est see the glory of God? 

41 Then they took away the stone from the 
place where the dead was laid. And Je'sus 
lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank 
thee that thou hast heard me. 

42 And I knew that thou hearest me al- 
ways: but because of the people which stand 
by I said it, that they may believe that thou 
hast sent me. 

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried 
with a loud voice, Ldz'a-rus, 7c come forth. 

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound 
hand and foot with graveclothes : and his face 
was bound about with a napkin. Je'§sus said 
unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 

45 Then many of the Jew§ which came to 
Ma'ry, and had seen the things which Je'§us 
did, believed on him. 

46 But some of them went their ways to the 
Phar'i-see§, and told them what things Je'§us 
had done. 

47 H *Then 'gathered the chief priests and 
the Phar'i-see§ a council, and said, '"What do 
we? for this man doeth many miracles. 

48 If we let him thus alone, "all men will 
believe on him : and the R6'man§ shall come 
and take away both our place and nation. 

49 And one of them, named °Ca'ia-phas, be- 
ing the high priest that same year, said unto 
them, Ye know nothing at all, 

50 Nor ^consider that it is expedient for us, 
that one man should die for the people, and 
that the whole nation perish not. 

51 And this spake he not of himself: but 
being high priest that year, he prophesied that 
Je'§us should die for that nation; 

52 And not for that nation only, ebut that 
also he should gather together in one the chil- 
dren of God that were scattered abroad. 

53 Then from that day forth they took coun- 
sel together for to put him to death. 

54 Je'§us therefore walked no more openly 



d. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man 
be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. (Jno. 9:31.) 

e. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall 
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting 
contempt. (Dan. 12:2.) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose 
again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 
(I Thess. 4:14.) 

f. And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: 
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. (Lu. 
14:14.) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the 
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrec- 
tion of damnation. (Jno. 5:29.) 

g. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; 
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. (Jno. 5:21.) And this is 
the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given 
me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth 
the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will 
raise him up at the last day. (Jno. 6:39, 40.) 

h. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (Jno. 1:4.) 
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no 
man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (Jno. 14:6.) When Christ, 
who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in 
glory. (Col. 3:4.) And this is the record, that God hath given to us 
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (I Jno. 5:11.) 

i. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that 
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth 
on him. (Jno. 3:36.) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the 
witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; 
because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. (I Jno. 
5:10.) 

j. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the 
Son of the living God. (Mat. 16:16.) And we believe and are sure that 
thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (Jno. 6:69.) 



k. The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the 
grave, and bringeth up. (I Sam. 2:6.) For he spake, and it was done; 
he commanded, and it stood fast. (Ps. 33:9.) And he came and touched 
the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, 
I say unto thee, Arise. (Lu. 7:14.) And he put them all out, and took 
her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. (Lu. 8:54.) But Peter 
put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to 
the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she 
saw Peter, she sat up. (Acts 9:40.) 

1. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take 
counsel together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying. 
(Ps. 2:2.) Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, 
and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who 
was called Caiaphas. (Mat. 26:3.) After two days was the feast of the 
passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes 
sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. (Mk. 
14:1.) 

m. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves. Perceive ye 
how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. (Jno. 
12:19.) 

n. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, 
but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall 
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with 
a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 
9:26.) 

0. Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to the Jews, that it 
was expedient that one man should die for the people. (Jno. 18:14.) 

p. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the 
Jews tried, out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's 
friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cesar. 
(Jno. 19:12.) 

q. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also 
I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one 
fold, and one shepherd. (Jno. 10:16.) There is neither Jew nor Greek,

among the Jew§ ; but went thence unto a coun- 
try near to the wilderness, into a city called 
E'phra-im, and there continued with his dis- 
ciples. 

55 If And the Jews/ passover was nigh at 
hand: and many went out of the country up 
to Je-ru'sa-lem before the passover, '"to purify 
themselves. 

56 Then sought they for Je'sus, and spake 
among themselves, as they stood in the temple, 
What think ye, that he will not come to the 
feast? 

57 Now both the chief priests and the Phar'- 
i-sees. had given = a commandment, that, if any 
man knew where he were, he should shew it, 
that they might take him. 

CHAPTER 12. 

1 Jesus excuseth Mary anointing his feet. 9 
The people flock to see Lazarus. 10 The 
high priests consult to kill him. 12 Christ 
rideth into Jerusalem. 20 Greeks desire to 
see Jesus. 23 He foretelleth his death. 37 
The Jews are blinded. 

1 Then 'Je'sus six days before the passover 
came to Beth'a-ny, where Laz'a-rus was which 
had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 

2 There they made him a supper; and Mar'- 
tha served: but Laz'a-rus was one" of them 
that sat at the table with him. 

3 Then took "Ma'ry a pound of ointment of 
spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet 
of 2 Je'§us, and wiped his feet with her hair: 
and the house was filled with the odour of the 
ointment. 

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Ju'das Is- 
car'i-ot, Si'mon's son, which 3 should betray 
him, 

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three 
hundred pence, and given to the poor? 

6 This he said, not that he cared for the 
poor; but because he was a thief, and 6 had 
the bag, and bare what was put therein. 

7 Then said Je'sus, Let her alone: against 
the day of my burying hath she kept this. 

8 For c the poor always ye have with you; 
but me ye have not always. 

9 Much people of the Jew§ therefore knew 
that he was there: and they came not for Je'- 
§us' sake only, but that they might see Laz'a- 
rus also, whom he had raised from the dead. 

10 If a But the chief priests consulted that 
they might put Laz'a-rus also to death ; 

11 Because c that by reason of him many of 
the Jew§ went away, and believed on Je'§us.

come to the feast, when they heard that Je'- 
sus was coming to Je-ru'sa-lem, 

13 Took branches of palm trees, and went 
forth to meet him, and cried, 'Ho-san'na: 
Blessed is the King of Is'ra-el that cometh in 
the name of the Lord. 

14 And Je'sus, when he had found a young 
ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 

15 Fear not, ^daughter of SI'on: behold, thy 
King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 

16 These things ''understood not his disciples 
at the first: 'but when Je'sus was glorified, 
-'then remembered they that these things were 
written of him, and that they had done these 
things unto him. 

17 The people therefore that was with him 
when he called Laz'a-rus out of his grave, and 
raised him from the dead, bare record. 

18 For this cause the people also met him, 
for that they heard that he had done this 
miracle. 

19 The Phar'i-see§ therefore said among 
themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail noth- 
ing? behold, the world is gone after him. 

20 II r And there were certain Greeks among 
them, 7v "that came up to worship at the feast: 

21 The same came therefore to Phil'ip, 
which was of Beth-sa'i-da of Gal'i-lee, and de- 
sired him, saying, Sir, we would see Je'sus. 

22 Phil'ip cometh and telleth An 'drew: and 
again An'drew and Phil'ip tell Je'sus. 

23 11 And Je'sus answered them, saying, The 
hour is come, that the Son of man should be 
glorified. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a 
corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it 
abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth 
much fruit. 

25 He that loveth "his life shall lose it; and 
he that hateth 'his life in this world shall keep 
it unto life eternal. 

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; 
and l where I am, there shall also my servant 
be: if any man serve me, him will my Father 
honour. 

27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall 
I say? Father, save me from this hour: m but 
for this cause came I unto this hour. 

28 Father, glorify thy name. "Then came 
there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both 
glorified it, and will glorify it again. 

29 The people therefore, that stood by, and 
heard it, said that it thundered: others said, 
An angel spake to him. 

30 Je'sus answered and said, "This voice 
came not because of me. but for your sakes. 



there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye 
are all one in Jesus Christ. (Gal. 3:28.) 

r. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify 
them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. (Ex. 19:10.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a cer- 
tain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her 
house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' 
feet, and heard his word. (Lu. 10:38, 39.) (It was that Mary which 
anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, 
whose brother Lazarus was sick.) (Jno. 11:2.) 

b. "When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven 
abominations in his heart. (Prov. 26.25.) For some of them thought, 
because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those 
things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give 
something to the poor. (Jno. 13:29.) 

c. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I com- 
mand thee, saying. Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, 
to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. (Dt. 15:11.) For ye have 
the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. (Mat. 26:11.) 

d. For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. 
(Prov. 1:16.) And he said unto him. If they hear not Moses and the 
Prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the 
deacl. (Lu. 16:31.) 

e. For he "knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 
(Mk. 15:10.) Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had 

D the things which Jesus did. believed on him. (Jno. 11:45.) 

f. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth 
wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let 
the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen. (Ps. 
72:18, 19.) Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, 
send now nrosperity. (Ps. 118:25.) 

g. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, 



Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, 
his reward is with him, and his work before him. (Is. 62:11.) Rejoice 
greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, 
thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and 
riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. (Zech. 9:9.) 

h. And they understood none of these things: and this saying was 
hid from them, neither knew they the things whicb were spoken. (Lu. 
18:34.) 

i. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on 
him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because 
that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (Jno. 7:39.) Who being the bright- 
ness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding 
all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged 
our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Heb. 
1:3.) 

j. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father 
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all 
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jno. 
14:26.) 

k. Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, 
but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake. (I Ks. 8:41.) 

1. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together 
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we 
ever be with the Lord. (I Thess. 4:17.) 

m. When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth 
no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of dark- 
ness. (Lu. 22:53.) 

n. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when« 
there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my 
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (II Pet. 1:17.) 

o. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the 
people which stand by I said It, that they may believe that thou hast 
sent me. (Jno. 11:42.)

31 Now is the * judgment of this world: now 
shall Hhe ''prince of this world be cast out. 

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, 
will draw 'Jail men unto me. 

33 This he said, signifying what death he 
should die. 

34 The people answered him, We 'have 
heard out of the law that Christ abideth for 
ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man 
must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 

35 Then Je'sus said unto them, Yet a little 
while "is the light with you. Walk while ye 
have the light, lest darkness come upon you: 
for l he that walketh in darkness knoweth not 
whither he goeth. 

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, 
that ye may be the children of light. These 
things spake Je'§us, and departed, and did 
hide himself from them. 

37 1i "'But though he had done so many mir- 
acles before them, yet they believed not on 
him: 

38 That the saying of u E-sa'ias the prophet 
might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who 
hath believed our report? and to whom hath 
the 1 arm of the Lord been revealed? 

39 Therefore they could 12 not believe, be- 
cause that E-§a'ias said again, 

40 He hath ''blinded their eyes, and hard- 
ened their heart; that they should not see with 
their eyes, nor understand with their heart, 
and be converted, and I should heal them. 

41 These things said E-§a'ias, when he saw 
his glory, and spake of him. 

42 II Nevertheless among the chief rulers also 
many believed on him; but because of the 
Phar'i-see§ they did not confess him, lest they 
should be put out of the synagogue: 

43 For they loved the praise of men more 
than the praise of God. 

44 1f "Je'sus cried and said, He that believ-

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not 
my words, hath one that judgeth him: ™ the 
word that I have spoken, the same shall judge 
him in the last day.

but was in progress. Luke states 
that as soon as they had taken

cedency, which was the occasion of 
Christ's washing their feet, as a re- 
buke to their strife.

50 And I know that his commandment is life

as the Father said unto me, so I speak. 

CHAPTER 13. 
1 Jesus washeth the disciples' feet. 18 He 
foretelleth that Judas should betray him: 
36 and forewarneth Peter of his denial. 

1 'Now 2 before the feast of the passover, 
when Je'§us knew that his hour was come that 
he should depart out of this world unto the 
Father, having loved his own which were in 
the world, he loved them unto the end. 

2 And supper "being ended, the devil having 
now put into the heart of Ju'das Is-car'i-ot, 
Si'mon's son, to betray him; 

3 Je'sus knowing °that the Father had given 
all things into his hands, and that he was come 
from God, and went to God; 

4 h He riseth from supper, and laid aside his 
garments; and took a towel, and girded him- 
self. 

5 After that he poureth water into a bason, 
and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to 
wipe them with the towel wherewith he was 
girded. 

6 Then cometh he to Si'mon Pe'ter: and 
Pe'ter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash 
my feet? 

7 Je'sus answered and said unto him, What 
I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt 
know hereafter. 

8 Pe'ter saith unto him, Thou shalt never 
wash my feet. Je'§us answered him, c If I 
wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 

9 Si'mon Pe'ter saith unto him, Lord, not 
my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 

10 Je'§us saith to him, He that is washed 
needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean 
every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 

11 For he knew 'who should betray him; 
therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 

12 So after he had washed their feet, and 
had taken his garments, and was set down 
again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have 
done to you? 

13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say 
well; for so I am. 

14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have 
washed your feet; d ye also ought to wash one 
another's feet. 

15 For e I have given you an example, that 
ye should do as I have done to you.

heaven. CLu. 10:1S.) Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for 
the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. (Jno. 14:30.) 

q. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels 
for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by 
the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Heb. 2:9.) 

r. He. shall build an house for my name; and I will stablish the 
throne of his kingdom for ever. (II Sam. 7:13.) The Lord hath sworn, 
and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Mel- 
chizedek. (Ps. 110:4.) For every battle of the warrior is with con- 
fused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burn- 
ing and fuel of fire. (Is. 9:5.) And they shall dwell in the land that 
I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; 
and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their 
children's children, for ever: and my servant David shall be their 
princa for ever. (Ez. 37:25.) Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in 
Syriac, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will 
show the interpretation. (Dan. 2:4.) 

s. I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine 
hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant to the people, 
for a light of the Gentiles. (Is. 42:6.) That was the true Light, which 
lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (Jno. 1:9.) 

t. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in 
darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness, 
hath blinded his eyes. (I Jno. 2:11.) 

u. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, 
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were 
evil. (Jno. 3:19.) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the 
light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 
but shall have the light of life. (Jno. 8:12.) 

v. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; 
but that the world through him might be saved. (Jno. 3:17.) 

w. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken 



unto my words which ye shall speak in my name, I will require it of 
him. (Dt. 18:19.) 
Chapter 13. 

a. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his 
hand. (Jno. 3:35.) For he hath put all things under his feet. But 
when he saith. All things are put under him, it is manifest that he 
is excepted which did put all things under him. (I Cor. 15:27.) Thou 
hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all 
in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. 
But now we see not yet all things put under him. (Heb. 2:8.) 

b. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that 
serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that 
serveth. (Lu. 22:27.) But made himself of no reputation, and took 
upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. 
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and be- 
came obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Phil. 2:7, 8.) 

c. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be 
clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse 
you. (Ez. 36:25.) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Ex- 
cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into 
the kingdom of God. (Jno. 3:5.) That he might sanctify and cleanse 
it with the washing of water by the word. (Eph. 5:26.) Let us draw 
near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts 
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure 
water. (Heb. 10:22.) 

d. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in 
honor preferring one another. (Rom. 12:10.) Likewise, ye younger, 
submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to 
another, and be clothed with humility; for God resisteth the proud, 
and giveth grace to the humble. (I Pet. 5:5.) 

e. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 
2:5.) For even hereunto were ye called; because Christ also suffered 
for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. (I Pet.

ST. JOHN 



ant is not greater than his lord; neither he 
that is sent greater than he that sent him. . 

17 // ye know these things, happy are ye if 
ye do them. 

18 r / speak not of you all: I know whom I 
have chosen: but that the scripture may be 
fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath 
lifted up his heel against vie. 

19 Xoiv I tell you before it come, that, when 
it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that 
receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and 
he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent 
me. 

21 When Jesus had thus said, he was trou- 
bled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, that tone of you shall 
betray me. 

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, 
doubting of whom he spake. 

23 Now -"there was leaning on Je'sus' bosom 
one of his disciples, whom Je'sus loved. 

24 Simon Pe'ter therefore beckoned to him, 
that he should ask who it should be of whom 
he spake. 

25 He then lying on Je'sus' breast saith unto 
him, Lord, who is it? 

26 Je'sus answered, He it is, to whom I shall 
give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when 
he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Ju'das 
Is-car'i-ot, the son of Simon. 

27 ''And after the sop Sa'tan entered into 
him. Then said Je'sus unto him, That thou 
doest, do quickly. 

28 Now no man at the table knew for what 
intent he spake this unto him. 

29 For some of them thought, 'because Ju'- 
das had the bag, that Je'sus had said unto him, 
Buy those things that we have need of against 
the feast; or, that he should give something 
to the poor. 

30 He then having received the sop went 
immediately out : and it was night. 

31 r Therefore, when he was gone out, Je'- 
sus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and 
God is glorified in him. 

32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also 
glorify him in himself, and shall straightway 
glorify him. 

33 Little children, yet a little while I am 
with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said 
unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; 
so now I say to you. 

34 >A new commandment I give unto you, 
That ye love one another; as I have loved you, 
thai ye also J: love one another. 



5. In vs. 21-35 Christ tells the dis- 
ciples that one of the number will 
betray him; parallel to Mat. 2i'.:21- 
2S. Mark 14:19-21. and Luke 22:21- 



1;. Thus the foulest of deeds seeks 
the blackness of night. 



7. That is, if they love, as in v. 



Ch. 14. A. D. 33. 



1. Ch. 14 contains the discourse 
while waiting at the table after the 
supper. Jesus takes this opportunity 
of comforting his disciples, thus en- 
deavoring to strengthen them and 
prepare them for the ordeal which 
is fast approaching. 



2. That is, there are many com- 
partments in the heavenly home, 
some occupied by angels and arch- 
angels, but there is room still, and 
Christ goes to prepare it for tbem. 



A. P. 33 

35 By this shall 7 all men know that ye are 
my disciples, if ye have love l one to another. 

36 % Si'mon Pe'ter said unto him, Lord, 
whither goest thou? Je'sus answered him, 
Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; 
'"but thou shalt follow me aftemvards. 

37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot 
I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for 
thy sake. 

38 Je'sus answered him, Wilt thou lay down 
thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say 
unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou 
hast denied me thrice. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Christ comforteth his disciples: 6 profess- 
eth himself the icay, the truth, and the life, 
and one with the Father: 13 assureth their 
prayers in his name to be effectual: . 15 re- 
questeth love and obedience, 16 promiseth 
the Holy Ghost the Comforter, 27 and leav- 
eth his peace with them. 

1 'Let not your heart be troubled: ye be- 
lieve in God, believe also in me. 

2 In my "Father's house 'are many man- 
sions: if it were not so, I would have told you. 
b I go to prepare a place for you. 

3 And if I go and prepare a place' for you, 
C I will come again, and receive you unto my- 
self; a that where I am, there ye may be also. 

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye 
know. 

5 ThSm'as saith unto him, Lord, we know 
not whither thou goest; and how can we know 
the way? 

6 Je'sus saith unto him, / am c the way, Hhe 
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the 
Father, but by me. 

7 If sye had known me, ye should have 
known my Father also: and from henceforth 
ye know him, and have seen him. 

8 Phil'ip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the 
Father, and it sufficeth us. 

9 Je'sus saith unto him, Have I been so long 
time with you, and yet hast thou not knoivn 
me, Phil'ip? ] 'he that hath seen me hath seen 
the Father; and hovj sayest tlwu then, Shew 
us the Father? 

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Fa- 
ther, and the Father in me? the words that I 
speak zinto you <I speak not of myself: but the 
Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the u-orks. 

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and 
the Father in me: or else believe me for the 
very works' sake. 

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that 



2:21.) He .that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, 
even as he walked. (I Jno. 2:6.) 

f. And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or 
the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (Acts 1:7.) 
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been 
of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, 
that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. (I Jno. 
2:19.)_ 

g.' When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing 
by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 
(Jno. 19:26.) 

h. Set thou a wicked man over him; and let Satan stand at his 
right hand. (Ps. 103:6.) Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you 
twelve, and one of you is a devil? (Jno. 6:70.) 

i. This he said, not that he eared for the poor; but because he 
was a thief, and had the bag. and bare what was put therein. (Jno. 
12:6.) 

j. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children 
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the 
Lord. (Lev. 19:18.) Seeing ye have purified 5-our souls in obeying the 
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that 
ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. (I Pet. 1:22.) 

k. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the chil- 
dren of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am 
the Lord. (Lev. 19:18.) But as touching brotherly love ye need not 
that I write unto you; for ye yourselves are taught of God* to love one 
another. (I Thess. 4:9.) Seeing ye have purified vour souls in obeying 
the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see 
that ye lovs one another with a pure heart fervently. (I Pet. 1:22.) 
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one 
that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. (I Jno. 4:7.) Let broth- 
erly love continue. (Heb. 13:1.) For all the law is fulfilled in one 
word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Gal. 
6:14.) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them" that curse 



you, do good to them that hate you. and pray for them which despite- 
fully use you, and persecute you. (Mat. 5:44.) 

1. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and 
breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness 
and singleness of heart. (Acts 2:46.) 

m. Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even 
as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me. (II Pet. 1:14.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabelnacle were 
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, 
eternal in the heavens. (II Cor. 5:1.) 

b. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall 
seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; 
so now I say to you. (Jno. 13:33.) 

c. Which also said. Ye men cf Galilee, why stand ye gazing up 
into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into 
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into 
heaven. (Acts 1:11.) 

d. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to- 
gether with them in the clouds to meet, the Lord in the air: and so 
shall we ever be with the Lord. (I Thess. 4:17.) 

e. The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest 
of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was 
yet standing. (Heb. 9:8.) 

f. For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came 
by" Jesus Christ. (Jno. 1:17.) And ye shall know the truth, and the 
truth shall make you free. (Jno. S:32.) 

g. Then said they unto him. Where is thy Father? Jesus an- 
swered. Ye neither know me. nor my Father: if ye had known me. ye 
should have known my Father also. (Jno. 8:19.) 

h. Who is the image of the invisible God. (Col. 1:15.) Who being 
the brightness of his glorv. and the express image of his person, 
etc. (Heb. 1:3.) 

i. Then answered Jesus and said unto thPm. Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the

CHRIST FALLS BENEATH THE CROSS ON THE WAY TO CALVARY— Raffaello. 



Ch. 15 



ST. JOHN 



A. D. 32 



903 



believeth on me, the ivorks that I do shall he 
do also; and greater ivorks than these shall he 
do; because I go unto my Father. 

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, 
that will I do, that the Father may be glorified 
in the Son. 

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I 
■L-jill do it. 

15 If s If ye love me, keep my commandments. 

16 And I ivill pray the Father, and >he shall 
give yon another Comforter, that he may abide 
with you for ever; 

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom Hhe 
world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, 
neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he 
dwelleth with you, l and shall be in you. 

18 / will not leave you comfortless: I will 
come to you. 

19 Yet o, 4 little while, and the world seeth 
me no more; but ye "'see me: because I live, 
ye shall live also. 

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in 
my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 

21 He "that hath my commandments, and 
keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he 
that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, 
and I will love him, and will ''manifest myself 
to him. 

22 Ju'das saith unto him, not Is-car'i-ot, 
Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself 
unto us, and not unto the world? 

23 Je'sus answered and said unto him, If a 
man love me, he will keep my ivords: and my 
Father will love him, °and we will come unto 
him, and make our abode with him. 

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my 
sayings: and the word which ye hear is not 
mine, but the Father's which sent me. 

25 These things have I spoken unto you, 
being yet present with you. 

26 But the Comforter, which is the Ho'ly 
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, 
he shall teach you all things, and bring all 
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have 
said unto you. 

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give 
unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto 
you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither 
let it be afraid. 

28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I 
go away, and come again unto you. If ye 
loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go 
unto the Father: for Pmy Father is greater 
than I. 

29 And now I have told you before it come 
to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might 
believe. 

30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: 
for the prince of this world cometh, and hath 
nothing in me. 

31 But that the world may know that I love 
the Father; and as the Father gave me com- 
mandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go 
hence. 



3. In vs. 15-31 Christ tells the 
disciples that he will send the com- 
forter to them to take his place. 



4. That is. not many hours. 



5. That is, the witness of the 
spirit with our spirit that we are 
born of Christ. 



Ch. 15. A. D. 33. 



1. This ch. is a continuation of 
the discourse at the table after sup- 
per. In vs. 1-S Christ teaches the 
spiritual unity of himself and peo- 
ple under the parable of the vine. 



2. They might ask what they 
would and it should be done unto 
them because the indwelling of his 
word in them would bring about 
that harmony of their desires with 
the divine will. 



3. In vs. 12-17 Christ gives to 
his disciples the great commandment 
of love basec 1 upon the example he 
has set them. 



4. In the remaining portion of the 
ch. the disciples are taught that, if 
the world hates them, they must re- 
member that it hated him. and that 
the servant is not greater than his 
master. 



5. Meaning the unregenerate. self- 
ish nature or disposition of man. 



CHAPTER 15. 
1 The mutual love between Christ and his 
members, under the parable of the vine. 18 
A comfort in the hatred and persecution of 
the world. 26 The officz of the Holy Ghost, 
and of the apostles. 

1 'I am the true vine', and my Father is the 
husbandman. 

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit 
he taketh away: and every branch that beareth 
fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth 
more fruit. 

3 Now ye are clean through the word which 
I have spoken unto you. 

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch 
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in 
the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in 
me. 

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He 
that abideth in me, and I in him, the same 
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye 
can do nothing. 

G If a a man abide not in me, he is cast forth 
as a branch, and is withered; and men gather 
them, and cast them into the fire, and they are 
burned. 

7 // ye abide in me, and my words abide in 
you, ye shall ask -what ye will, and it shall 
be done unto you. 

8 Herein b is my Father glorified, that ye 
bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I 
loved you: continue ye in my love. 

10 // ye keep my commandments, ye shall 
abide in my love; even as I have kept my 
Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that 
my joy might remain in you, and that your 
joy might be full. 

12 "This is my commandment, That ye love 
one another, as I have loved you. 

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that 
a man lay down his life for his friends. 

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever 
I command you. 

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for 
the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: 
but I have called you friends; for all things 
that I have heard of my Father I have made 
known unto you. 

16 Ye "have not chosen me, but I have cho- 
sen you, and ordained you, that ye should go 
and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit 
should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask 
of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 

17 These things I command you, that ye love 
one another. 

18 4 // Hhe world hate you, ye know that it 
hated me before it hated you. 

19 // e ye were of the ""world, the world 
would love his own: but because ye are not of 
the world, but I have chosen you out of the 
world, therefore the world hateth you. 

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, 



Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the 
Son likewise. (Jno. 5:19.) 

j. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; 
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we ery, Abba, 
Father. (Rom. 8:15.) 

k. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not 
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Rom. 8:7.) But 
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for 
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because 
they are spiritually discerned. (I Cor. 2:14.) 

1. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in 
you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same 
anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and 
even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide m him. (I Jno. 2:27.) 

m. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little 
while, and ye shall see me; because I go to the Father. (Jno. 16:16.) 

n. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God 
perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. (I Jno. 2:5.) 

0. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall 
abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Ps. 91:1.) And we have 
known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and 
he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (I Jno. 



4:16.) Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my 
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with 
him, and he with me. (Rev. 3:20.) 

p. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my 
soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth 
judgment to the Gentiles. (Is. 42:1.) Therefore the Jews sought the 
more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but 
said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 
(Jno. 5:18.) I and my Father are one. (Jno. 10:30.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and 
have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the 
Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers 
of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again 
unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God 
afresh, and put him to an open shame. (Heb. 6:4-6.) 

b. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by 
Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. (Phil. 1:11.) 

c. Herein is love, not that we love God, but that he loved us, and 
sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (I Jno. 4:10.) 

d. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. (I Jno. 3:13.) 

e. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and 
the world heareth them (I Jno. 4:5.)

Ch. 16 



ST. JOHN 



The servant is not greater than his lord. If 
they have persecuted me, they will also -perse- 
cute you; if they have kept my saying, they 
ivill keep your's also. 

21 But all these things will they do unto you 
for my 'name's sake, because they know not 
him thai sent me. 

22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, 
they had not had sin: but onow they have no 
cloke for their sin. 

23 He that hateth me hateth my Father 
also. 

24 If / had not done among them the ivorks 
which none other man did, they had not had 
sin: but now have they both seen and hated 
both me and my Father. 

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word 
might be fulfilled that is written in their law, 
They hated me without a cause. 

26 But ll when the Comforter is come, tvhom 
I will send unto you from the Father, even 
the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the 
Father, he shall testify of me: 

27 And 'ye also shall bear ivitness, because 
iye have been with me from the beginning. 

CHAPTER 16. 
1 Christ comforteth his disciples against tribu- 
lation by the promise of the Holy Ghost, and 
by his resurrection and ascension: 23 as- 
sureth prayers made in his name to be ac- 
ceptable io his Father. 33 Peace in Christ, 
and in the world affliction. 

1 These 1 things have I spoken unto you that 
ye should not be offended. 

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: 
yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth 
you will think that he doeth God service. 

3 And these things will they do unto you, 
because they have not known the Father, nor 
me. 

4 But these things have I told you, that 
when the time shall come, ye may remember 
that I told you of them. And these things I 
said not unto you at the beginning, because 
I was with you. 

5 But now I go my way to him that sent 
me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest 
thou? 

6 But because I have said these things unto 
you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is 
expedient for you that I go away: for -if I go 
not away, the Comforter 3 will not come unto 
you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

A. P. 33 

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my 
Father, and ye see me no more; 

11 Of "judgment, because Hhe prince of this 
world is judged. 

12 / have yet many things to say unto you, 
but ye cannot bear them now. 

13 Hoivbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is 
come, he c will guide you into *all truth: for he 
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he 
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will 
l, shew you things to come. 

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive 
of mine, and shall sheiv it unto you. 

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 
and shall shew it unto you. 

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: 
and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, 
because I go to the Father. 

17 Then said some of his disciples among 
themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, 
A little while, and ye shall not see me: and 
again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, 
Because I go to the Father? 

18 They said therefore, What is this that he 
saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he 
saith. 

19 Now Je'sus knew that they were desirous 
to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire 
among yourselves of that I said, A little while, 
and ye shall not see me: and again, a little 
while, and ye shall see me? 

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye 
shall weep and lament, but the world, shall re- 
joice: and, ye shall be sorrowful, but your sor- 
row shall be turned into joy. 

21 A woman when she is in travail hath 
sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon 
as she is delivered of the child, she remem- 
bereth no more the anguish, for joy that a 
man is born into the world. 

22 And ye now therefore have sorroiv: but 
I ivill see you again, and c your heart shall re- 
joice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 

23 And in that "day ye shall ask me nothing. 
fVerily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye 
''shall ask the Father in my name, he will give 
it you. 

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my 
name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy 
may be full. 

25 These things have I spoken unto you in 
proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall 
no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall 
shew you plainly of the Father. 

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: 



f. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but 
he that endureth to the end shall be saved. (Mat. 10:22.) Then shall 
they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall 
be hated of all nations for my name's sake. (Mat. 24:9.) But take 
heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in 
the synagogues ye shall be beaten; and ye shall be brought before 
rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. (Mk. 
13:9.) But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and 
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, 
being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake (12). And 
ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. (Lu. 21:12, 17.) 
But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten 
them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. (Acts 4:17.) 
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the 
spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil 
spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. (I Pet. 4:14.) 

g. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world 
are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even 
his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. 
(Rom. 1:20.) Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth 
it not, to him it is sin. (Js. 4:17.) 

h. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having 
received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed 
forth this, which ye now see and hear. (Acts 2:33.) 

i. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come 
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and 
in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the 
earth. (Acts 1:8.) This Jesus hath God raised up. whereof we all are 
witnesses. (Acts 2:32.) And with great power gave the apostles wit- 
ness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon 
them all. (Acts 4:33.) The elders which are among you I exhort, who 
am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also 
a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed. (I Pet. 5:1.) 



j. Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the begin- 
ning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the word. (Lu. 1:2.) That 
which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have 
seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have 
handled, of the word of life. (I Jno. 1:1.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, 
and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive for* 
giveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified 
by faith that is in me. (Acts 26:1S.) 

b. And he said unto them. I beheld Satan as lightning fall from 
heaven. (Lu. 10:1S.) Now is the judgment of this world: now shall 
the prince of this world be cast out. (Jno. 12:31.) And. having spoiled 
principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumph- 
ing over them in it. (Col. 2:15.) 

c. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father 
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all 
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jno. 
14:26.) But ve have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all 
things. (I Jno. 2:20.) 

d. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times 
some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and 
doctrines of devils. (I Tim. 4:1.) • 

e. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he 
said unto them. Have ye here any meat? (Lu. 24:41.) Whom having 
not seen, ye love: in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, 
ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (I Pet. 1:8.) 

f. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,, that will I do, that 
the Father may be glorified in the Son. (Jno. 14:13.) Ye have not 
chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should 
go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that 
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give 
it you. (Jno. 15:16.)

and I say not unto you, that I will pray the 
Father for you: 

27 For Hhe Father himself loveth you, be- 
cause ye have loved me, and have believed that 
I came out from God. 

28 / came forth from the Father, and am 
come into the world: again, I leave the world, 
and go to the Father. 

29 7 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now 
speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all 
things, and needest not that any man should 
ask thee: by this we believe that thou earnest 
forth from God. 

31 Je'§us answered them, Do ye now be- 
lieve? 

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now 
come, that ye shall be scattered, every man 
to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet 
I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that 
Hn mc ye might have peace. l In the world ye 
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; 
JI have overcome the world. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 Christ prayeth to his Father to glorify him, 
6 to preserve his apostles, 11 in unity, 17 
and truth- 20 to glorify them, and all other 
believers with him in heaven. 

1 These 'words spake Je'§us, and lifted up 
his eyes to heaven, and said, 'Father, the 
hour "is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son 
also may glorify thee: 

2 As "thou hast given him power over all 
flesh, that he shoidd give eternal life to as 
many b as thou hast given him. 

3 And c this is life eternal, that they might 
know thee the only true God, and Je'§us Christ 
whom thou hast sent. 

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have 
finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with 
thine own self with the glory Hvhich I had with 
thee before the world was. 

6 *I have manifested thy name unto the 
■men which thou gavest me out of the world: 



7. Vs. 29-33 is an account of the 
last remarks of the disciples and the 
answer of Jesus thereto. 



Ch. 17. A. D. 33. 



1. That is. the words of comfort 
to the disciples. 



2. The name of God in its pres- 
ent import was unknown to the 
world before revealed by the Son. 



3. His work is to be accom- 
plished in the hour of consumma- 
tion, the hour of sealing it all — the 
hour of hours is now here. 



4. In vs. 6-19 Christ presents his 
disciples before God and enters a 
petition for them. 



5. The beginning of the first pe- 
tition for the apostles. It snould be 
observed that the original petition 
began with "Father" (v. 1); and 
now, when he asks for the holy, 
sacred preservation of the apostles. 
he says "Holy Father;"' and in v. 
25, where there is allusion to retri- 
bution in the world, he says "Right- 
eous Father." 



Guarded them. 



7. To set apart and dedicate to 
special office. 



S. Thus the authority of all was 
co-ordinate, because they were to 
take up the work he had begun- and 
carry it on to completion. 



9. In vs. 20-26 Christ broadens 
his intercessions with the Father to 
include everybody. 



thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and 
they have kept thy word. 

7 Now they have known that all things what- 
soever thou hast given me are of thee. 

8 For I have given unto them the words 
which thou gavest me; and they have received 
them, and have known surely that I came out 
from thee, and they have believed that thou 
didst send me. 

9 / pray for them: e I pray not for the world. 
but for them which thou hast given me; for 
they are thine 

10 And all fmine are thine, and thine are 
mine; and I am glorified in them. 

11 And now I am no more in the world, but 
these are in the world, and I come to thee. 
Holy 'Father, keep through thine own name 
those whom thou hast given me, that they 
may be one, as we are. 

12 While I was with them in the world, e I 
okept them in thy name : those that thou gavest 
me I have kept, and ll none of them is lost, 
l but the son of perdition; Hhat the scripture 
might be fulfilled. 

13 And now come I to thee; and these things 
I speak in the ivorld, that they might have 
my joy fulfilled in themselves. 

14 / have given them thy word; and the 
ivorld hath hated them, because they are not 
of the ivorld, even as I am not of the world. 

15 / pray not that thou shouldest take them 
out of the ivorld, but that thou lc shouldest keep 
them from the evil. 

16 They are not of the world, even as I am 
not of the world. 

17 7 Sanctify l them through thy truth: thy 
word is truth. 

18 As thou s hast sent me into the world, even 
so have I also s sent them into the world. 

19 And '"for their sakes I sanctify myself, 
that they also might be sanctified through the 
truth. 

20 "Neither pray I for these alone, but for 
them "also which shall believe on me through 
their word; 

21 That "they all may be one; as Hhou, 
Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also 



g. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is 
that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, 
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (Jno. 14:21.) 

h. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give 
unto you' not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your 
heart be troubled neither let it be afraid. (Jno. 14:27.) Therefore 
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord 
Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:1.) For he is our peace, who hath made both 
one, and hath broken down the middle w-all of partition between us. 
(Eph. 2:14.) 

i. For the man was above forty years old on whom this miracle 
of healing was shown. (Acts 4:22.) Yea, and all that will live godly 
in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (II Tim. 3:12.) For whom 
the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he re- 
ceiveth. (Heb. 12:6.) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be 
zealous therefore, and repent. (Rev. 3:19.) 

j. Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful cap- 
tive delivered? (Is. 49:24.) Nay, in all these things we are mora 
than conquerors, through him that loved us. (Rom. 8:37.) For he 
hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith. All things 
are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted which did put 
all things under him. (I Cor. 15:27.) As we have therefore oppor- 
tunity, let us do good unto al 1 men, especially unto them who are" of 
the household of faith. (Gal. 6:10.) For whatsoever is born of God 
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the 
world, even our faith. (I Jno. 5:4.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, 
that, all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his do- 
minion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and 
his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:14.) 

b. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that 
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (Jno. 6:37.) 

c. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: 
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he 
shall bear their iniquities. (Is. 53:11.) 

d. I and my Father are one. (Jno. 10:30.) Who, being in the 
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. (Phil. 
2:6.) Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every 
creature. (Col. 1:15.) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word 
was with God, and the Word was God. (Jno. 1:1.) 

e. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world Heth 
in wickedness. (I Jno. 5:19.) 

f. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and 



whom he called,, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them 
he also glorified. (Rom. 8:30.) 

g. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of 
all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise 
it up again at the last day. (Jno. 6:39.) And I give unto them 
eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them 
out of my hand. (Jno. 10:2S.) And again, I will put my trust in him. 
And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 
(Heb. 2:13.) 

h. That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake, Of them 
which thou gavest me have I lost none. (Jno. 18:9.) They went out 
from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they 
would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they 
might be made manifest that they were not all of us. (I Jno. 2:19.) 

i. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but, that 
the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath 
lifted up his heel against me. (Jno. 13:18.) 

j. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. (Ps. 109:8.) 
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be deso- 
late, and let no man dwell therein: and, His bishopric let another 
take. (Acts 1:20.) 

k. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from 
this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. 
(Gal. 1:4.) But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep 
you from evil. (II Thess. 3:3.) And we know that we are of God, 
and the whole world lieth in wickedness. '(I Jno. 5:19.) 

1. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their 
hearts by faith. (Acts 15:9.) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with 
the washing of water by the word. (Eph. 5:26.) 

m. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto 
us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification. and redemption. 
(I Cor 1:30.) For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto 
holiness. (I Thess. 4:7.) By the which will we are sanctified through 
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Heb. 10:10.) 

n. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and 
the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 
(Acts 2:41.) Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; 
and the number of the men was about five thousand. (Acts 4:4.) 

0. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one 
members one of another. (Rom. 12:5.) Now I beseech you, brethren, 
by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same 
thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be per- 
fectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 
(I Cor. 1:10.) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond 
nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ 
Jesus. (Gal. 3:28.)

may be one hi us: that the world may believe 
that thou hast sent me. 

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I 
have given them; What they may be one, even 
as tee are one: 

23 / in them, and thou in me, that they may 
be 'made perfect in one; and that the world 
may know that thou hast sent me, and hast 
loved them, as thou hast loved me. 

24 Father, S I will that they also, whom thou 
hast given me, be with me where I am; that. 
they may behold i my glory, which thou hast 
given me: for thou lovedst me before the 
foundation of the world. 

25 righteous 'Father, the world hath not 
known thee: but I have known thee, and these 
have known that thou hast sent me. 

26 And I have declared unto them thy name, 
and will declare it: that the love wherewith 
thou hast "loved me may be in them, and I in 
them. 

CHAPTER 18. 
1 Judas betrayeth Jesus. 10 Peter smiteth off 
Malchus' ear. 15 Peter's denial. 28 Jesus' 
arraignment before Pilate. 

1 'When Je'sus had spoken these words, he 
went ^forth with his disciples over the brook 
Ce'dron, where was a garden, into the which 
he entered, and his disciples. 

2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, 
knew the place: a for Je'sus ofttimes resorted 
thither with his disciples. 

3 *Ju'das then, having received a band of 
men and officers from the chief priests and 
Phar'I-sees, eonieth thither with lanterns and 
torches and weapons. 

4 Je'sus therefore, ^knowing all things that 
should come upon him, went forth, and said 
unto them. Whom seek ye? 

5 They answered him, Je'sus of Naz'a-reth. 
Je'sus saith unto them, I am he. And Ju'das 
also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, 
I am he, they went backward, and fell to the 
ground. 

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek 
ye? And they said, Je'sus of Naz'a-reth. 

8 Je'sus answered, / have told you that I am 
he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their 
way: 

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which 
he spake, Of c them which thou gavest me 
have I lost none. 

10 Then d Si'mon Pe'ter having a sword drew 
it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut 

•off his right ear. The servant's name was 
Mal'chus. 

11 Then said Je'sus unto Pe'ter, Put up thy

sword into the sheath: e the cup ivhich my 
Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 

12 Then the band and the captain and offi- 
cers of the Jews took Je'§us, and bound him, 

13 4 And led him away to "Annas first; for 
he was father in law to Ca'ia-phas, which was 
the high priest that same year. 

14 Now i'Ca'ia-phas was he, which gave 
counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that 
one man should die for the people. 

15 f 6 And Si'mon Pe'ter followed Je'sus, and 
so did 7 another disciple: that disciple was 
known unto the high priest, and went in with 
Je'sus into the palace of the high priest. 

16 But Pe'ter stood at the door without. 
Then went out that 7 other disciple, which was 
known unto the high priest, and spake unto 
her that 'kept the door, and brought in Pe'ter. 

17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door 
unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's 
disciples? He saith, I am not. 

18 And the servants and officers stood there, 
who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: 
and they warmed themselves: and Pe'ter stood 
with them, and warmed himself. 

19 1i The high priest then asked Je'sus of 
his disciples, and of his doctrine. 

20 Je'sus answered him, ''/ spake openly to 
the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and 
in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; 
and in secret have I said nothing. 

21 Why askest thou me? ask them which 
heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, 
they know what I said. 

22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the 
officers which stood by 'struck Je'sus with the 
palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the 
high priest so? 

23 Je'sus answered him, 'If I have spoken 
evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why 
smitest thou me? 

24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto 
Ca'ia-phas the high priest. 

25 "And Si'mon Pe'ter stood and warmed 
himself. fc They said therefore unto him. Art 
not thou also one of his disciples? He denied 
it, and said, I am not. 

26 One of the servants of the high priest, 
being his kinsman whose ear Pe'ter cut off, 
saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with 
him? " 

27 Pe'ter then denied again: and immedi- 
ately the cock crew. 

28 1 Then led they Je'sus from Ca'ia-phas 
unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; 
and 'they themselves went not into the judg- 
ment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that 
they might eat the "'passover. 

29 Pi'late then went out unto them, and 



ye may know and believe that the Father is in me. and I in him.

me: or else believe me for the very works* sake. (Jno. 14:11.) 

q. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that 
ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is 
with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. (I Jno. 1:3.) And 
he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. 
And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he 
hath given us. (I Jno. 3:24.)

t. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory 
of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, 
even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (II Cor. 3:18.) 

Chapter 18. 

a. And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple: and at 
night he went out. and abode in the mount that is called the mount 
of Olives. (Lu. 21:37.) 

b. Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been ful- 
filled, which the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of David, spake before 
concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. (Acts 
1:16.) 

c. While I was with them in the world. I kept them in thy name: 
those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but 
the son of perdition: that the scripture might be fulfilled. (Jno. 
17:12.) 



d. When they which- were about him saw what would follow, 
they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? (Lu. 22:49.) 

e. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are 
ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of. and to be bap- 
tized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, 
We are able. (Mat. 20:22.) 

f. And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caia- 
phas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 

. (Mat. 26:57.) 

-g. Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should 
die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. (Jno. 11:50.) 

h. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. (Lu. 
4:15.) Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the tem- 
ple and taught. (Jno. 7:14.) 

i. I gave my back to the smiters. and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (Is. 
50:6.) Now gather thyself in troops. O daughter of troops: he hath 
laid siege against us: they shall smite the Judge of Israel with a rod 
upon the cheek. (Mic. 5:1.) And the high priest Ananias commanded 
them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. (Acts 23:2.) 

j. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, 
he threatened not: but committed himself to him that judgeth right- 
eously. (I Pet. 2:23.) 

k. And, after a little while, another saw him, and said, Thou 
art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. (Lu. 22:58.) 

1. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing 
for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of an- 
other nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man 
common or unclean. (Acts 10:28.) 

m. Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy

said, What accusation bring ye against this 
man? 

30 They answered and said unto him, If he 
were not a malefactor, we would not have de- 
livered him up unto thee. 

31 Then said Pi'late unto them, Take ye 
iim, and judge him according to your law. 
The Jews therefore said unto him, "It is not 
lawful for us to put any man to death: 

32 That the "saying of Je'sus might be ful- 
filled, which he spake, signifying what death 
he should die. 

33 Then Pi'late entered into the judgment 
hall again, and called Je'sus, and said unto 
him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 

34 Je'sus answered him, Sayest thou this 
thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of 
me? 

35 Pi'late answered, Am I a Jew? Thine 
own nation and the chief priests have deliv- 
ered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 

36 Je'sus ^answered, iMy kingdom is not of 
this world: if my kingdom tvere of this world, 
then would my servants fight, that I should not 
be delivered to the Jew§: but now is my king- 
dom not from hence. 

37 Pi'late therefore said unto him, Art thou 
a king then? Je'sus answered, Thou sayest 
that I am a king. To this end xvas I born, and 
for this cause came I into the world, that I 
shoidd, r bear ivitness unto the truth. Every 
one that s is of the truth heareth my voice. 

38 Pi'late saith unto him, What is 10 truth? 
And when he had said this, he went out again 
unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in 
him no fault at all. 

39 But ye have a custom, that I should re- 
lease unto you one at tne passover: will ye 
therefore that I release unto you the King of 
the Jews? 

40 Then 'cried they all again, saying, Not 
this man, but Ba-rab'bas. Now Ba-rab'bas 
was a robber. 

CHAPTER 19. ' 
1 Christ is scourged, crowned ivith thorns, and 
beaten. 26 He commendeth his mother to 
John. 28 He dieth. 38 He is buried by Jo- 
seph. 

1 2 Then c Pi'late therefore took Je'sus, and 
^scourged him. 

2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, 
and put it on his head, and they put on him a 
purple robe, 



10. Thus Pilate puts to Christ a 
question man cannot answer, endeav- 
oring thereby to ask of the Master 
that which would compel him to say, 
"I 'mow not." 



Ch. 19. A. D. 33. 



1. Vs. 1-16 give the account of 
Jesus before Pilate, Pilate's third 
effort to release him, the scourging 
and other severities and insults, the 
Jews' insistent clamor for his life; 
and Pilate's finally delivering him 
for crucifixion. Parallel to Mat. 27: 
24-31 and Mk. 15:15-20 and Luke 23: 
23-25. 



2. A whipping with cords and 
rods woven together; sometimes 
used instead of crucifying, which 
was the hope of Pilate in the case 
of Christ. 



3. With the bleeding Christ be- 
fore them, Pilate pleads for his life. 



4. The man, the representative 
of the race; the only man in whom 
there was 110 fault. 



5. All power is from above. 



Friday, the day of crucifixion. 



7. The passing of the death an- 
gel over the Israelitish homes when 
the Egyptians' firstborn were struck 
down. 



S. About noon. 



9. In vs. 17-30 Jesus crucified 
and on the cross; parallel to Mat. 27: 
35-50 and Mk. 15:24-37 and Luke 23: 
33-46. 



3 And said, Hail, King of the Jew§! and 
they smote him with their hands. 

4 Pi'late therefore went forth 'again, and 
saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to 
you, Hhat ye may know that I find no fault 
in him. 

5 Then came Je'§us forth, wearing the crown 
of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pi'late 
saith unto them, Behold *the man! 

6 When f 'the chief priests therefore and offi- 
cers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify 
him, crucify him. Pi'late saith unto them, 
Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no 
fault in him. 

7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, 
and by our law he ought to die, because he 
d made himself the Son of God. 

8 11 When Pi'late therefore heard that say- 
ing, he was the more afraid; 

9 And went again into the judgment hall, 
and saith unto Je'sus, Whence art thou? e But 
Je'§us gave him no answer. 

10 Then saith Pi'late unto him, Speakest 
thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I 
have power to crucify thee, and have power to 
release thee? 

11 Je'ijius answered, fThou couldest have no 
"power at all against me, except it were given 
thee from above: therefore he that delivered 
me unto thee hath the greater sin. 

12 And from thenceforth Pi'late sought to 
release him: but the Jews_ cried out, saying, If 
thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's 
friend : whosoever maketh himself a king 
speaketh against Cae'§ar. 

13 11 When Pi'late therefore heard that say- 
ing, he brought Je'§us forth, and sat down in 
the judgment seat in a place that is called the 
Pavement, but in the He'brew, Gab'ba-tha. 

14 And #it was the "preparation of the 'pass- 
over, and about the s sixth hour: and he saith 
unto the Jew§, Behold your King! 

15 But they cried out, Away with him, away 
with him, crucify him. Pi'late saith unto them, 
Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests 
answered, ''We have no king but Cse'§ar. 

16 Then delivered he him therefore unto 
them to be crucified. And they took Je'§us, and 
led him away. 

17 °And he bearing his cross *went forth 
into a place called the place of a skull, which 
is called in the He'brew Gol'go-tha: 

18 Where ->they crucified him, and two other 
with him, on either side one, and Je'§us in 
the midst. 



God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the Lord shall 
choose to place his name there. (Dt. 16:2.) 

n. Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off 
the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and 
abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn It: and 
it shall be no more, until be come whose right it is; and I will give 
it him. (Ez. 21:26, 27.) 

o. And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, 
and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. (Mat. 
20:19.) 

p. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all 
things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed 
a good confession. (I Tim. 6:13.) And unto the angel of the church 
of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful 
and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God. (Rev. 3:14.) 

q. And there was given him dominion, and glerry, and a kingdom, 
that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his do- 
minion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his 
kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:14.) 

r. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader 
and commander to the people. (Is. 55:4.) And from Jesus Christ, 
who is the faithful Witness, and the first-begotten of the dead, and 
the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and 
washed us from our sins in his own blood. (Rev. 1:5.) 

s. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear 
them not, because ye are not of God. (Jno. S:47.) Being born again, 
not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, 
which liveth and abideth for ever. (I Pet. 1:23.) We are of God: he 
that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. 
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (I Jno. 
4:6.) 

t. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a mur- 
derer to be granted unto you. (Acts 3:14.) 

Chapter 19. 

a. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 



(Is. 50:6.) And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to 
scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. 
(Mat. 20:19.) And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released 
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, 
to be crucified. (Mk. 15:15.) And they shall scourge him, and put 
him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. (Lu. 1S:33.) 

b. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said 
this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in 
him no fault at all. (Jno. 18:38.) For he hath made him to be sin for 
us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of 
God in him. (II Cor. 5:21.) 

c. The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of 
our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and 
denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let 
him go. (Acts 3:13.) 

d. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken 
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye 
have heard his blasphemy. (Mat. 26:65.) 

e. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep 
before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) 

f. When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth 
no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of dark- 
ness. (Lu. 22:53.) 

g. Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, 
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate. (Mat. 
27:62.) 

h. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gather- 
ing of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) 

i. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with 
his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore 
unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. (Heb. 13:12. 13.) 

:". Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he 
shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out 
his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors;

Ch. 20 



ST. JOHN 



19 H And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on 
the cross. And the writing was, JE'SUS OF 
NAZ'A-F.ETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

20 This title then read many of the Jews : 
for the place where Je'sus was crucified was 
nigh to the city: and it was written in He brew, 
and Greek, and Lat'in. 

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews 
to Pi'late, Write not, The King of the Jews; 
but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 

22 Pi'late answered, What I have written I 
have written. 

23 r Then the soldiers, when they had cruci- 
fied Je'sus, took his garments, and made four 
parts, to every soldier a part; and also his 
coat: now the coat was without seam, woven 
from the top throughout. 

24 They said therefore among themselves, 
Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it 
shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, 
which saith, They parted my raiment among 
them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. 
These things therefore the soldiers did. 

25 ^ "Now there stood by the cross of Je'sus 
his mother, and his mother's sister, Ma'iy the 
wife of Cle'o-phas, and Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne. 

26 When Je'sus therefore saw his mother, 
and 7 -'the .disciple standing by, whom he loved, 
he saith unto his mother, "Woman, behold thy 
son! 

27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy 
mother! And from that hour that disciple 
took her unto his own home. 

28 If "After this, "Je'sus knowdng that ? all 
things were now accomplished, '"that the scrip- 
ture might be fulfilled, saith, / thirst. 

29 Now there was set a vessel full of vine- 
gar : and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and 
put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 

30 When Je'sus therefore had received the 
vinegar, he said, "It is "finished: and he bowed 
his head, and gave up °the ghost. 

31 i; The Jews therefore, ^because it was the 
preparation, ^that the bodies should not remain 
upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that 
sabbath day was an 'high day,) besought Pi'- 
late that their legs "might be broken, and that 
they might be taken away. 

32 Then ir came the soldiers, and brake the 
legs of the first, and of the other which was 
crucified with him. 

33 But when they came to Je'sus, and saw 
that he was dead already, they brake not his 
legs: 

34 But one of the soldiers with a spear

on the cross. Jesus commits his

loved disciple. 



11. In the language of that day

degree of tenderness and affection 
that the word mother does to-day. 



12. In vs. 2S-30 is Christ's thirst

13. After the cry "Eloi, Eloi." 



14. That is. his suffering has fin- 
ished the great work and man had 
been redeemed. 

15. In vs. 31-42 is an account of 
the burial of Christ. 



16. That is. with an iron mallet 
they would break the legs just above 
the ankle before taking them from 
the cross — a Roman custom, seem- 
ingly for the purpose of increasing 
the pain of the last agonizing mo- 
ments of the one on the cross. 



17. The soldier guard broke the 
legs of the two thieves first, and. 
finding Jesus dead, "they brake not 
bis legs." 



19. Jesus was the Lamb of God 
slain for the sins of the world. With 
the sacrificial lamb no bones should 
be broken: therefore, as Christ was 
the sacrificial lamb slain for the 
world, he was not slain by the He- 
brew law (which would have crushed 
his body by stoning), but by the Ro- 
man law. Also for this reason the 
Roman guards did not b-eak his legs. 

20. In vs. 38-42 the friends of 
Jesus begged for his body, that they 
may bury it in the tomb of Joseph. 



21. This incident is 
only by John.

pierced his side, and forthwith *came there out 
blood and water. 

35 And f he lb that saw it bare record, and 
his record is true: and he knoweth that he 
saith true, that ye might believe. 

36 For these things were done, that the 
scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him 
shall not is be broken. 

37 And again another scripture saith, They 
shall look on him whom they pierced. 

38 1i ^And after this Jo'seph of Ar-i-ma- 
thse'a, being a disciple of Je'§us, but secretly 
for fear of the Jews, besought Pi'late that he 
might take away the body of Je'sus: and Pi'- 
late gave him leave. He came therefore, and 
took the body of Je'sus. 

39 And there came also ^Nic-o-de'mus, which 
at the first came to Je'sus by night, and 
brought "a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 
an hundred "pound weight. 

40 Then took they the body of Je'§us, and 
wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as 
the manner of the Jews, is to bury. 

41 Now in the place where he was crucified 
there was a garden; and in the garden a new 
'sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. 

42 There laid they Je'sus therefore because 
of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre 
was nigh at hand. 

CHAPTER 20. 
1 Mary cometh to the sepulchre. 11 Jesus ap- 
peareth to Mary Magdalene, 19 and to his 
disciples. 24 The incredulity of Thomas. 

1 The "first a day of the week cometh Ma'ry 
Mag-da-le'ne early, when it was yet dark, unto 
the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away 
from the sepulchre. 

2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Si'mon 
Pe'ter, and to the 2 other disciple, whom Je'§us 
loved, and saith unto them, They have taken 
away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we 
know not where they have laid him. 

3 Pe'ter ^therefore went forth, and that 
other Misciple, and came to the sepulchre. 

4 So they ran both together: and the other 
disciple did outrun Pe'ter, and came first to the 
sepulchre. 

5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw 
the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 

6 Then cometh Si'mon Pe'ter following him, 
and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the 
linen clothes lie, 

7 And the napkin, that was about his head, 



and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the trans- 
gressors. (Is. 53:12.) The king answered and said to Daniel, whose 
name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the 
dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? (Dan. 2:26.) 
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a 
curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on 
a tree. (Gal. 3:13.) 

k. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, 
whom Jesus loved. (Jno. 13:23.) Therefore that disciple whom Jesus 
'oved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard 
hat it. was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was 
laked,) and did cast himself into the sea (7). This is the disciple 
which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know- 
that his testimony is true. (Jno. 21:7, 24.) 

1. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and be- 
tween thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt 
bruise his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) Why do the heathen rage, and the peo- 
ple imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and 
the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his 
Anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away 
their cords from us. (Ps. 2:1-3.) 

m. They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they 
gave me vinegar to drink. (Ps. 69:21.) 

n. The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will 
magnify the law, and make it honorable. (Is. 42:21.) Seventy weeks 
are determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to finish 
the transgression, at.d to make an end of sins, and to make recon- 
ciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and 
to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. 
(Dan. 9:24.) I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the 
work which thou gavest me to do. (Jno. 17:4.) For Christ is the end 
of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Rom. 
10:4.) And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering often- 
times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this 
man, after h< had offered one sacrifice ^or sins for ever, sat down on 
the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies 



be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever 
them that are sanctified. (Heb. 10:11-14.) 

0. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should 
live together with him. (I Thess. 5:10.) 

p. And now when the even was come, because it was the prepara- 
tion, that is, the day before the sabbath. (Mk. 15:42.) 

q. His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, hut thou 
shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is ac- 
cursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God 
giveth thec for an inheritance. (Dt. 21:23.) 

r. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, 
ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the 
month at even. (Ex. 12:1S.) 

s. This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; 
not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that 
beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth (6). And there are three 
that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: 
and these three agree in one. (I Jno. 5:fi. 8.) 

t. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the 
Christ, the Son of God: and that believing ye might have life through 
his name. (Jno. 20:31.) 

u. And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had 
made for -himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which 
was filled with sweet odors and divers kinds of spices prepared by 
the apothecaries' art: and thev made a very great burning for him. 
(II Chr. 16:14.) 

v. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in 
a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was 
laid. (Luke 23:53.) 

Chapter 20. 

a. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the 
first day of, the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to 
see the sepulchre. (Mat. 2S:1.) 

b. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping 
down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, 
wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. (Luke 24:12.)

not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped 
together in a place by itself. 

8 Then went in also that other disciple, 
w r hich came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, 
and believed. 

9 For as yet they knew not the c scripture, 
that he must rise again from the dead. 

10 Then the disciples went away again unto 
their own home. 

11 r ^But d Mary stood without at the sepul- 
chre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped 
down, and looked into the sepulchre, 

12 And seeth two angels in 4 white sitting, 
the one at the head, and the other at the feet, 
where the body of Je'sus had lain. 

13 And they said unto her, Woman, why 
weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because 
they have taken aw T ay my Lord, and I know 
not where they have laid him. 

14 And 'when she had thus said, she turned 
herself back, and saw Je'sus standing, and 
knew not that it was Je'sus. 

15 Je'sus saith unto her, Woman, why weep- 
est thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing 
him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, 
if thou have borne him hence, tell me where 
thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 

16 Je'sus saith unto her, Mary. She turned 
herself, and saith unto him, Rab-bo'm; which 
is to say, Master. 

17 Je'sus saith unto her, Touch me not; for 
I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to 
fmy brethren, and say unto them, ol ascend 
unto my Father, and your Father; and to h my 
God, and your God. 

18 Ma'ry Mag-da-le'ne came and told the 
disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that 
he had spoken these things unto her. 

19 r "Then 'the same day at evening, being 
the first day of the week, when the doors were 
shut where the disciples were assembled for 
fear of the Jews, came Je'sus and stood in the 
midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 

20 And when he had so said, he •'shewed 
unto them his hands and his side. ^Then were 
the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 

21 Then said Je'sus to them again, Peace be 
unto you: as l my Father hath sent me, even 
so send I you. 



3. In vs. 11-1S is Christ's first ap- 
pearance after death to Mary Mag- 
dalene. 



4. An emblem of purity and holi- 
ness. 



5. In vs. 19-23 Jesus appears to 
the apostles in Thomas' absence : 
parallel to Mk. 1G:14-1S and Luke 24: 
36-49. 



6. In vs. 24-29 Jesus again ap- 
pears to his disciples with Thomas 
present. 



7. This absence of Thomas, at so 
critical and dreadful an hour, has 
caused some critics to think that 
Thomas was wavering, inasmuch as 
he thought that Christ's enemies had 
succeeded in taking his life and that 
now all would come to nought. 



s. The Greek word means mir- 
acles.

1. Manifested. In vs. 1-24 is an 
account of Jesus' appearance at the 
Sea of Tiberias. 



22 And when he had said this, he breathed 
on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye. the 
Holy Ghost. 

23 Whose '"soever sins ye remit, they are re- 
mitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye 
retain, they are retained. 

24 If c But Thom'as, one of the twelve, called 
"Did'y-mus, was not 7 with them when Je'§us 
came. 

25 The other disciples therefore said unto 
him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto 
them, Except I shall see in his hands the print 
of the nails, and put my finger into the print 
of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, 
I will not believe. 

26 If And after eight days again his disciples 
were within, and Thom'as with them: then 
came Je'§us, the doors being shut, and stood in 
the midst, and said, Peace °be unto you. 

27 Then 'saith he to Thom'as, Reach hither 
thy finger, and behold my hands; and Preach 
hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: 
and be not faithless, but believing. 

28 And Thom'as answered and said unto 
him, «My Lord and my God. 

29 Je'§us saith unto him, Thom'as, because 
thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed 
'are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 
lieved. 

30 II And s many other s signs truly did Je'§us 
in the presence of his disciples, which are not 
written in this book: 

31 But 'these are written, that ye might be- 
lieve that Je'sus is the Christ, the Son of God; 
"and that believing ye might have life through 
his name. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 Christ appearing again to his disciples, 15 
earnestly commandeth Peter to feed his 
lambs and sheep: 18 foretelleth him of his 
death: 22 rebuketh his curiosity touching 
John. 

1 \A.fter these things Je'sus shewed himself 
again to the disciples at the sea of Ti-be'ri-as; 
and on this wise shewed he himself. 

2 There were together Si'mon Pe'ter, and 
Thom'as calied Did'y-mus, and a Na-than'a-el of 



c. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou 
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.) And as con- 
cerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to re- 
turn to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure 
mercies of David. (Acts 13:34.) 

d. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sit- 
ting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they 
were affrighted. (Mk. 16:5.) 

e. The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I 
said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? (Song 3:3.) Now when 
Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to 
Mary M-agdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. (Mk. 16:9.) 

f. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the 
congregation will I praise thee. (Ps. 22:22.) For whom he did fore- 
know, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his 
Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren. (Rom. 
8:29.) For both he that sanetifieth and they who are sanctified are 
all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them breth- 
ren. (Heb. 2:11.) 

g. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: 
again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. (Jno. 16:28.) 

h. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, 
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation tn the knowl- 
edge of him. (Eph. 1:17.) 

i. Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, 
and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, be- 
cause they believed not them which had seen him after he was 
risen. (Mk. 16:14.) And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the 
twelve. (I Cor. 15:5.) 

j. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, 
which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and 
our hands have handled, of the Word of life. (I Jno. 1:1.) 

k. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, 
and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 
(Jno. 16:22.) 

1. The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me 
to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, 
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) And 
Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me 
in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, bap- 
tizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the 
Holy Ghost. (Mat. 28:1S, 19.) As thou hast sent me into the world, 
even so have I also sent them into the world. (Jno. 17:18.) 



m. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall hind on earth 
shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth 
shall be loosed in heaven. (Mat. 18:18.) 

n. Then said Thomas, ' which is called Didymus, unto his fellow- 
disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. (Jno. 11:16.) 

o. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) And this man shall be the peace, when 
the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in 
.our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and 
eight principal men. (Mic. 5:5.) And having made peace through the 
blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto Jiimself; by 
him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 
(Col. 1:20.) 

p. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them 
that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we 
are dust. (Ps. 103:13, 14.) That which was from the beginning, 
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we 
have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life. 
(I Jno. 1:1.) 

q. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my 
God; in him will I trust. (Ps. 91:2.) And Mary said, My soul doth 
magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my saviour. 
(Luke 1:46, 47.) Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the 
only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (I 
Tim. 1:17.) 

r. (For we walk by faith, not by sight.) (II Cor. 5:7.) Whom 
having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet 
believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (I Pet. 
1:8.) 

s. See v. 25. 

t. That thou mightest know the certainty cf those things, where- 
in thou hast been instructed. (Luke 1:4.) For whatsoever things were 
written aforetime were written for our learning; that we through 
patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (Rom. 
15:4.) 

u. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have 
eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only be- 
gotten Son, that whosoever" believeth in him should not perish, but 
have everlasting life. (Jno. 3:15, 16.) Receiving the end of your 
faith, even the salvation of your souls. (I Pet. 1:9.)

Ca'na in Gal'i-lee, and the sons of Zeb'e-dee, 
and two other of his disciples. 

3 SI'mon Pe'ter saith unto them, I go a fish- 
ing. They say unto him, We also go with 
thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship 
immediately ; and that night they caught noth- 
ing. 

4 But when the morning was now come, Je'- 
sus stood on the shore: but the disciples ''knew 
not that it was Je'§us. 

5 Then c Je'§us saith unto them, Children, 
have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 

6 And he said unto them, d Cast the net on 
the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. 
They cast therefore, and now they were not 
able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 

7 "Therefore f that disciple whom Je'§us 
loved saith unto Pe'ter, It is the Lord. Now 
when SI'mon Pe'ter heard that it was the 
Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he 
was naked,) and fdid cast himself into the sea. 

8 And the other disciples came in a little 
ship; (for they were not far from land, but as 
it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net 
with fishes. 

9 3 As soon then as they were come to land, 
they #saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid 
thereon, and bread. 

10 Je'§us saith unto them, Bring of the fish 
which ye have now caught. 

11 SI'mon Pe'ter went up, and drew the net 
to land full of great fishes, an hundred and 
fifty and three : and for all there were so many, 
yet was not the net broken. 

12 Je'sus saith unto them, h Come and dine. 
And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who 
art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 

13 Je'sus then cometh, and taketh bread, and 
giveth them, and fish likewise. 

14 This is now the 4 third time that Je'§us 
shewed himself to his disciples, after that he 
was risen from the dead. 

15 H 5 So when they had dined, Je'§us saith to 
SI'mon Pe'ter, SI'mon, son of Jo'nas, lovest 



2. Because of the striking simi- 
larity to a former miracle performed. 
John now declares it to be Jesus. 



3. Vs. 9-14 give an account of 
the miraculous breakfast as an em- 
blem of the eternal banquet prepared 
by the Lamb. 



4. The third time to the disciples 
but the seventh appearance (1) to 
Mary Magdalene; (2) to the women 
who came from the tomb: (3) to the 
two disciples going to Emmaus; (4) 
to Peter; (5) to the disciples in the 
absence of Thomas; (6) to the 11 
disciples; and (7) v. 14. 



5. In vs. 15-23. after the mirac- 
ulous breakfast Peter is restored to 
his former relationship and his mar- 
tyrdom intimated. 



G. More than the rest of these 
disciples dost thou love me? Per- 
haps this question was put to Peter 
because he had — before his denial — 
asserted his love so much more posi- 
tively than the others. 



7. Peter recognizes the relation 
between the three-fold confession 
and his three denials, and is there- 
fore grieved not at the confessions 
but at his former weakness and de- 
nial of his Master. 



thou 'me more "than these? He saith unto him, 
Yea, Lord; thou ■'knowest that I love thee. 
He saith unto him, Feed 1; my lambs. 

16 He saith to him again the second time, 
Si'mon, son of Jo'nas, lovest thou me? He saith 
unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I 
love thee. 'He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 

17 He saith unto him the '"third time, SI'- 
mon, son of Jo'nas, lovest thou me? Pe'ter 
Was grieved because he said unto him the 
third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto 
him, Lord, "thou knowest all things; thou 
knowest that I love thee. Je'sus saith unto 
him, Feed my sheep. 

18 Verily, "verily, I say unto thee, When 
thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and 
toalkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou 
shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, 
and another shall gird thee, and carry thee 
whither thou wouldest not. 

19 This spake he, signifying Pby what death 
he should glorify God. And when he had 
spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 

20 Then Pe'ter, turning about, seeth the 
disciple whom Je'sus loved following; which 
also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, 
Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 

21 Pe'ter seeing him saith to Je'gus, Lord, 
and ^what shall this man do? 

' 22 Je'sus saith unto him, If I will that he 
tarry 'till I come, what is s that to thee? folloiv 
thou me. 

23 Then went this saying abroad among the 
brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet 
Je'sus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, 
If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that 
to thee? 

24 This is the disciple which testifieth of 
these things, and wrote these things: and we 
know that his testimony is true. 

25 And there are also many other things 
which Je'§us did, the which, if they should be 
written every one, *I suppose that even the 
world itself could not contain the books that 
should be written. Amen. 



him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets, did write, Jesus 
of Nazareth the son of Joseph. (Jno. 1:45.) 

b. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and 
saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. (Jno. 20:14.) 

c. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he 
said unto them, Have ye here any meat? (Luke 24:41.) 

d. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch 
out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught (4). And 
when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: 
and their net brake. (Luke 5:4, 6.) 

e. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, 
whom Jesus loved. (Jno. 13:23.) 

f. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods 
drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for 
love, it would utterly be contemned. (Song 8:7.) 

g. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the 
coals, and a cruse of water at his head: and he did eat and drink, 
and laid him down again. (I Ks. 19:6.) 

h. Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of 
God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from 
the dead. (Acts 10:41.) 

i. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be 
offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. (Mat. 26:33.) 

j. I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked 
before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that 
which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. (II Ks. 20:3.) 

k. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over 
the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the 
church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 
20:28.) 

1. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our 
Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of 



the everlasting covenant. (Heb. 13:20.) Peed the flock of God which 
is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but 
willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind (2). And when 
the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that 
fadeth not away. (I Pet. 5:2, 4.) 

m. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my 
sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till 
thou hast denied me thrice. (Jno. 13:38.) 

n. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest 
not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou 
earnest forth from God. (Jno. 16:30.) But as we were allowed of 
God to be put in trust with the Gospel, even so we speak; not as 
pleasing men, but God. which trieth our hearts. (I Thess. 2:4.) 

o. Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus 
answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou 
shalt follow me afterwards. (Jno. 13:36.) 

p. Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even 
as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me. (II Pet. 1:14.) 

q. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, 
saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to 
Israel? (Acts 1:6.) 

r. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the 
holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. 
(Mat. 25:31.) 

s. The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those 
things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for 
ever, that wo may do all the words of this law. (Dt. 29:29.) 

t. Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of 
Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the 
house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. (Amos 
7:10.) 



THE 



ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 



NOTE. — The Book of the Acts of the Apostles is to the Gospels what the fruit is to the tree, the grain to the stalk. In the Gospels the life — 
embracing the teachings and miracles — of Christ is carefully brought out to develop the principles of his government. The -Acts trace the growth and 
development of the church founded upon the teachings of Christ, as a result of them. 

The Book of Acts was written by Luke, by profession a physician, also author of the third Gospel. A few years back it was the effort of some of the German 
schools to discredit the authorship pnd trustworthiness of the Acts, but after much labor their efforts, directed largely by Dewette and Baur, were recognized — even 
by themselves — to be futile. In the past 30 years archaeological research has very conclusively proven the latter half of the book to be absolutely accurate. 
Therefore, there being no good reason why the author would be historically correct in a large portion of his work and unreliable in the remaining part, 
the book has filially come to be accepted in its entirety. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 Christ commandeth his apostles to expect in 
Jerusalem the sending down of the Holy 
Ghost. 9 After his ascension 12 they return, 
and choose Matthias apostle in the place of 
Judas. 

1 The former treatise have I made, 2a The- 
oph'i-lus, of all that Je'§us began both to do 
and teach, 

2 Until ''the day in which he was ^aken up, 
after that he through the Ho'ly Ghost c had 
given commandments unto the apostles whom 
he had chosen: 

3 To whom also he shewed himself alive 
after his passion by many infallible proofs, 
being seen of them 4 forty days, and speaking 
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of 
God: 

4 'And, being assembled together with them, 
commanded them that they should not depart 
from Je-ru'sa-lem, but wait for the promise of 
the Father, d which, saith he, ye have heard 
of me. 

5 For e John truly baptized with water; fbut 
ye shall be baptized with the "Ho'ly Ghost not 
many days hence. 

6 T When they therefore were come together, 
they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at 
this time ^restore again the kingdom to Is'- 
ra-el? 

7 And he said unto them, h It is not for you 
to know the times or the seasons, which the 
Father hath put in his own power. 

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the 
Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be 
ivitnesses unto me both in Je-ru'sa-lem, and in. 
all Ju-dse'd, and in Sa-ma'ri-d, and unto the 
uttermost part of the earth. 

9 8 And when he had spoken these things, 
while they beheld, he was taken up; and a 
cloud received him out of their sight. 

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward 
heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood 
by them 'in white apparel; 

11 Which also said, Ye men of Gal'i-lee, 
why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this 
same Je'sus, which is taken up from you into 
heaven, ^shall so come in like manner as ye 
have seen him go into heaven.

12 Then returned they unto Je-ru'sa-lem 
from the mount ''"called Ol'i-vet, which is from 
Je-ru'sa-lem a sabbath day's journey. 

13 And when they were come in, they went 
up into an upper room, where abode both Pe'- 
ter, and Jamesj, and John, and An'drew, Phil'- 
ip, and Thom'as, Bar-thol'6-mew, and Mat'thew, 
James the son of Al-phas'us, and Si'mon Ze- 
15'tes, and Ju'das the brother of James. 

14 These all continued "with one accord in 
prayer 10 and supplication, with the women, and 
Ma'ry the mother of Je'§us, and with 'his 
brethren. 

15 11 And in those n days Pe'ter stood up in 
the midst of the disciples, and said, (the num- 
ber of names together were about an hundred 
and twenty,) 

16 12 Men and brethren, this scripture must 
needs have been fulfilled, "'which the Hd'ly 
Ghost by the mouth of Da'vid spake before con- 
cerning Ju'das, "which was guide to them that 
took Je'sus. 

17 For he was numbered with us, and had 
obtained part of this ministry. 

18 Now this man purchased a field with the 
"reward of iniquity; and H ailing headlong, he 
burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels 
gushed out. 

19 And it was known unto all the dwellers 
at Je-ru'sa-lem; insomuch as that field is called 
in their proper tongue, A-cel'da-ma, that is to 
say, The field of blood. 

20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, 
Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man 
dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another 
take. 

21 Wherefore of these men which have com- 
panied with us all the time that the Lord Je'sus 
went in and out among us, 

22 Beginning from the baptism of 13 J6hn, 
unto that same day that he was taken up from 
us, must one be ordained ^to be a witness with 
us of his resurrection. 

23 And they appointed two, Jo'seph called 
Bar'sa-bas, who was surnamed Jus'tus, and 
Mat-thi'as. 

24 And they prayed, and said, 14 Thou, Lord, 
'which knowest the hearts of all men, shew 
whether of these two thou hast chosen, 



Ref. Acts. Chapter 1. 

a. It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding 
of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most 
excellent Theophilus. (Luke 1:3.) 

b. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: 
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, 
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into 
glory. (I Tim. 3:16.) 

e. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the 
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Mat. 
2S:19.) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach 
the Gospel to every creature. (Mk. 16:15.) Then said Jesus to them 
again Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send 
I you. (Jno. 20:21.) 

d. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another 
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. (Jno. 14:16.) 

e. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, 
John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the 
Holy Ghost. (Acts 11:16.)

sellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city 
of righteousness, The faithful city. (Is. 1:26.) 

h. The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those 
things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for 
ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Dt. 29:29.) 

i. He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, 



an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 
(Acts 10:3.) 

j. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of 
man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of 
days, and they brought him near before him. (Dan. 7:13.) 

k. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, 
which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall 
cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west and 
there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall 
remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. (Zech. 
14:4.) 

1. Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? 
and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? (Mat. 
13:55.)

at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto

all men. (Jno. 2:24.)

25 That he may take part of this ministry 
and apostleship, from which Ju'das by trans- 
gression fell, that he might go to his own place. 

26 And they gave forth their *'lots; and the 
lot fell upon Mrt-thi'as; and he was numbered 
with the eleven apostles. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 The apostles, filled with the Holy Ghost, 
speak divers languages. 14 Peter sheweth 
that they spake by the power of the Holy 
Ghost. 41 They work many miracles. 

1 *And when °the' day of 2 Pen'te-cost was 
fully come, they were all with one accord in 
one place. 

2 And suddenly there came a sound from 
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it 
^filled all the house where they were sitting. 

3 And there appeared unto them s cloven 
tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each 
of them. 

4 And they were all filled c with the Ho'ly 
4 Gh5st, and began d to speak with other tongues, 
as the Spirit gave them utterance. 

5 And there were dwelling at Je-ru'sa-lem 
Jew§, devout men, out of 5 every nation under 
heaven. 

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the 
multitude came together, and were confounded, 
because that every man heard them speak in 
his own language. 

7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, 
saying one to another, Behold, are not all 
these which speak Gal-i-lag'an§? 

8 And how hear we every man in our own 
tongue, wherein we were born? 

9 Par'thi-ans, and Mede§, and E'lam-ites, 
and the dwellers in Mes-o-po-ta'ml-a, and in 
Ju-dse'a, e and Cap-pa-do'ci-a, in Pon'tus, and 
A'sia, 

10 Phryg'i-a, and Pam-phyl'i-a, in E'gypt, 
and in the parts of Lib'y-a about Cy-re'ne, and 
strangers of Rome, Jew§ and ''proselytes, 

11 Cretes and A-ra'bi-ans, we do hear them 
speak in our tongues the wonderful works of 
God. 

12 And they were all amazed, and were in 
doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth 
this? 

13 Others ^mocking said, These men are full 
of new wine.

descent at the baptism of Jesus, and

en, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, 
Ye men of Ju-das'a, and all ye that dwell at 
Je-ru'sa-lem, be this known unto you, and 
hearken to my words: 

15 For these are not drunken, as ye sup- 
pose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 

16 7 But this Ms that which was spoken by 
the prophet JS'el; 

17 'And it shall come to pass in the last 
days, saith God, 'I will pour out of my Spirit 
upon all "flesh : and your sons and your daugh- 
ters shall prophesy, and your young men shall 
see visions, and your old men shall dream 
dreams : 

18 And on my servants and on my hand- 
maidens I will pour out in those days of my 
Spirit; 'and they shall prophesy: 

19 And I will shew wonders in °heaven 
above, and signs in the "earth beneath; blood, 
and "fire, and Vapour of smoke: 

20 A 'The sun shall be "turned into darkness, 
and the moon into blood, before that great and 
notable day of the Lord come: 

21 And it shall come to pass, that whoso- 
ever shall call on the name of the Lord shall 
be saved. 

22 "Ye men of Is'ra-el, hear these words; 
Je'sus of Naz'a-reth, a man approved of God 
among you 'by miracles and wonders and 
signs, which God did by him in the midst of 
you, as ye yourselves also know: 

23 Him, '"being delivered by the determin- 
ate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have 
taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and 
slain : 

24 Whom God "hath raised up, having loosed 
the pains of death : because it was not possi- 
ble that he should be holden of it. 

25 For Da'vid speaketh concerning him, °I 
foresaw the Lord always before my face, for 
he is on my right hand, that I should not be 
moved : 

26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my 
tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall 
rest in hope: 

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in 
hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine ^Hoiy One 
to see corruption. 

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways 
of life; thou shalt make me full of joy witli 
thy countenance. 

29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak 



s. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the 
Lord, and the other lot for the scape-goat. (Lev. 16:8.) 
Chapter 2. 

a. Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number 
the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle 
to the corn. And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord 
thy God with a tribute of a free-will offering of thine hand, which 
thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God, according as the Lord thy 
God hath blessed thee. (Dt. 16:9, 10.) 

b. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they 
were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 
and they spake the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:31.) 

c. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Te 
rulers of the people, and elders of Israel (8). And when they had 
prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; 
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the 
word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:8, 31.) And Ananias went his 
way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, 
Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the 
way as thou earnest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy 
sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. (Acts 9:17.) Then Saul, 
(who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes 
on him (9). And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy 
Ghost. fActs 13:9, 52.) For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of 
your Father which speaketh in you. (Mat. 10:20.) 

d. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall 
they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. (Mk. 16:17.) 

e. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered 
throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. (I 
Pet. 1:1.) 

f. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep 
the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then 
let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born 
in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. (Ex. 
12:48.) Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him 
while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unright- 
eous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he 
will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly 
pardon. (Is. 55:6, 7.) 

g. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of 



God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, 
because they are spiritually discerned. (I Cor. 2:14.) 

h. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my 
Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall proph- 
esy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see 
visions. (Joel 2:28.) 

i. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, 
as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was 
poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 10:45.) 

j. And finding disciples, he tarried there seven days: who said to 
Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. 
(Acts 21:4.) 

k. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun 
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars 
shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be 
shaken. (Mat. 24:29.) 

1. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, 
and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to 
his own will? (Heb. 2:4.) 

m. And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake 
unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be ful- 
filled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, 
and in the Psalms, concerning me. (Luke 24:44.) For to do whatso- 
ever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. (Acts 
4:28.) 

n. And kill the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the 
dead; whereof we are witnesses. (Acts 3:15.) Him God raised up the 
third day, and showed him openly. (Acts 10:40.) But God raised him 
from the dead. (Acts 13:30.) But if the Spirit of him that raised up 
Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the 
dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwell- 
eth in you. (Rom. 8:11.) And God hath both raised up the Lord, and 
will also raise up us by his own power. (I Cor. 6:14.) Knowing that 
he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and 
shall present us with you. (II Cor. 4:14.) Buried with him in bap- 
tism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the 
operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. (Col. 2:12.) 

o. I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my 
right hand, I shall not be moved. (Ps. 16:8.) ■

unto you <?of the patriarch Da'vid, that he 
is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is 
with us unto this day. 

30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing 
that God had sworn with an oath to him, that 
of 'the fruit of his loins, according to the 
flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his 
throne; 

31 He seeing this before spake of the resur- 
rection of Christ, s that his soul was not left 
in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 

32 This Je'sus hath God raised up, whereof 
'we all are witnesses. 

33 Therefore "being "by the right hand of 
God exalted, and 'having received_ of the Fa- 
ther the promise of the Ho'ly Ghost, he hath 
lc shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 

34 For Da'vid is not ascended into the 
heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said 
unto my J Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 

35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 

36 Therefore let all the house of Is'ra-el 
know assuredly, that God hath made '->that 
same Je'§us, whom ye have crucified, both 
Lord and Christ. 

37 If Now when they heard this, they -were 
pricked in their heart, and said unto Pe'ter 
and to the rest of the apostles, Men and 
brethren, what shall we do? 

38 Then Pe'ter said unto them, 10 Repent, 
aa and be 17 baptized every one of you in the 
name of Je'sus Christ for the remission_ of 
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Ho'ly 
Ghost. 

39 For 66 the promise is unto you, and to 
your children, and to all that are afar off, 
even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 

40 And with many other words did he testify 
and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this 
untoward generation. 

41 11 Then they that gladly received his word 
were baptized: and the same day there were 
added unto them qbout three thousand souls. 

42 And cc they continued stedfastly in the 
apostles' ls doctrine and "fellowship, and in 
breaking of bread, and in prayers. 

43 And fear came upon every soul: and 
%any wonders and signs were done by the 
apostles. 

44 And all that believed were together, and 
had "all things common; 

45 And sold their possessions and goods, 



15. The result of the other 
things. 



16. That is, change your mind, 
your will and purpose toward God. 



17. The symbol of acceptance into 
the body of God's people. 



18. Apostles' instructions or 
preachings. 



10. The apostles' creed. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 33. 



1. In ch. 3 is a record of Peter's 
healing a lame man at the temple 
gate; also his address delivered to 
the wondering multitude. 



At three o'clock. 



3. It should be observed that 
John, the junior apostle, never 
speaks in the Book of Acts but 
waits in reverence for Peter. 



4. In vs. 12-2G is a record of 
Peter's third speech, which was de- 
livered in Solomon's porch, and gives 
to the people an explanation of the 
meaning to them of the miracle he 
had just performed. 



and ^parted them to all men, as every man 
had need. 

46 And they, continuing daily with one ac- 
cord in the temple, and ^breaking bread from 
house to house, did eat their meat with glad- 
ness and singleness of heart, 

47 Praising God, and having favour with all 
the people. And the Lord added to the church 
daily such as should be saved. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 Peter,, preaching to the people that came to 
see a lame man restored, 13 withal repre- 
hending them for crucifying Jesus, 19 ex- 
horteth them by repentance and faith to 
seek remission of their sins, and salvation in 
the same Jesus. 

1 Now 1 Pe'ter and John went up together 
into the temple at the hour of prayer, being 
the "ninth hour. 

2 And a certain man lame from his mother's 
womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the 
gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, 
to ask alms of them that entered into the 
temple; 

3 Who seeing Pe'ter and 3 J6hn about to go 
into the temple asked an alms. 

4 And Pe'ter, fastening his eyes upon him 
with John, said, Look on us. 

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to 
receive something of them. 

6 Then Pe'ter said, "Silver and gold have I 
none; but such as I have give I thee: In the 
name of Je'§us Christ of Naz'a-reth rise up 
and walk. 

7 And he took him by the right hand, and 
lifted him up: and immediately his feet and 
ancle bones received strength. 

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and 
entered with them into the temple, walking, 
and leaping, and praising God. 

9 And all the people saw him walking and 
praising God: 

10 And they knew that it was he which sat 
for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: 
and they were filled with wonder and amaze- 
ment at that which had happened unto him. 

11 And as the lame man which was healed 
held Pe'ter and John, all the people ran to- 
gether unto them in the porch that is called 
SSl'o-mon's, greatly wondering. 

12 If "And when Pe'ter saw it, he answered 
unto the people, Ye men of Is'ra-el, v/hy mar- 



hell; neither wilt thou 
(Ps. 16:10.) Wherefore he 
not suffer thine Holy One 



suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.) And the angel 
answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, 
and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also 
that holy thing which shall be horn of thee shall be called the Son 
of God. . (Luke 1:35.) 

q. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will 
of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corrup- 
tion: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. (Acts 
13:36, 37.) 

r. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of 
the seed of David according to the flesh. (Rom. 1:3.) 

s. For thou wilt not leave my soul 
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption, 
saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt 
to see corruption. (Acts 13:35.) 

t. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come 
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and 
in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the 
earth. (Acts 1:8.) 

u. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a 
name which is above every name. (Phil. 2:9.) But this man, after 
he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right 
hand of God. (Heb. 10:12.) 

v. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you 
from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the 
Father, he shall testify of me. (Jno. 15:26.) And, being assembled 
together with them, commanded them that they should not depart 
from Jerusalem, but "wait for the promise -of the Father, which, saith 
he, ye have heard of me. (Acts 1:4.) 

w. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended upon high, he led 
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Eph. 4:8.) 

x. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until 
I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) The Lord said unto 
my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy 
footstool. (Mat. 22:44.) For he must reign, till he hath put all en- 
emies under his feet. (I Cor. 15:25.) But to which of the angels said 
he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy 
footstool? (Heb. 1:13.) 



y. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and 
a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 
(Acts 5:31.) 

z. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhab- 
itants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they 
shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn 
for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitter- 
ness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zech. 
12:10.) 

aa. And that repentance and remission of sins should be 
preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 
(Luke 24:47.) 

bb. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are 
not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted 
for the seed. (Rom. 9:8.) 

cc. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the 
manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the 
more as ye see the day approaching. (Heb. 10*25.) 

dd. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name 
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. (Mk. 
16:17.) 

ee. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart 
and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things 
which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 
(Acts 4:32.) 

ff. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring 
the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, 
that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own 
flesh? (Is. 58:7.) 

gg. And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came 
together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart 
on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. (Acts 20:7.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the 
same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 
(I Pet. 4:10.) 

b. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of 
the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and 
streams in the desert. (Is. 35:6.)

vel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on 
us, as though by our own power or c holiness 
we had made this man to walk? 

13 ^The God of A 'bra-ham, and of I'saac, 
and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, c hath 
glorified his Son Je'sus; whom ye delivered up, 
and denied him in the presence of Pi'late, 
when he was determined to let him go. 

14 But ye denied the Holy One and Hhe 
Just, and desired a murderer to be granted 
unto you ; 

15 And killed the ^Prince of life, whom God 
hath raised from the dead; whereof we are 
witnesses. 

16 And his name through 3 faith in his name 
hath made this man strong, whom ye see and 
know: yea, the faith which is by him hath 
given him this perfect soundness in the pres- 
ence of you all. 

17 And now, brethren, I wot that through 
ignorance ''ye did it, as did also your rulers. 

18 But those things, which God before had 
shewed 'by the mouth of all his prophets, that 
Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 

" 19 1: "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, 
that your sins may be blotted out, when the 
times of refreshing shall come from the pres- 
ence of the Lord; 

20 And he shall send Je'sus Christ, which 
before was preached unto you : 

21 T Whom 'the heaven must receive until the 
times of ^restitution of all things, which God 
hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy 
prophets since the world began. 

22 For "Mo'ses truly said unto the fathers, 
'A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up

shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall 
say unto you. 

23 And it shall come to pass, that "'every 
soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall 
be destroyed from among the people. 

24 Yea, and all the prophets from Sam'u-el 
and those that follow after, as many as have 
spoken, have likewise foretold of '"these days.

away every one of you from his iniquities. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 The rulers of the Jews, offended with Peter's 
sermon, 4 imjirison him and John 13 They 
command him and John to preach no more 
in the name of Jesus, 23 whereupon the 
church fleeth to prayer. 31 And God testi- 
fied that he heard their prayer. 

1 *And as they spake unto the people, the 
priests, and the captain of the temple, and the 
Sad'du-cees, came upon them, 

2 Being "grieved that they taught the people, 
and preached through Je'sus the resurrection 
from the dead. 

3 And they laid hands on them, and put 
them in "hold unto the next day: for it was now 
eventide. 

4 Howbeit many of them which heard the 
word believed; and the number of the men was 
about five thousand. 

5 If And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 

6 And Annas the_ high priest, and Ca'ia- 
phas, and John, and Al-ex-an'der, and as many 
as were of the kindred of the high priest, were 
gathered together at Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7 And when they had set them in the midst, 
they asked, & By what power, or by what name 
have ye done this? 

8 4 Then <Te'ter, filled with the Ho'ly Ghost, 
said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and 
elders of Is'ra-el, 

9 If we this day be examined of the good 
deed done to the impotent man, by what means 
he is made whole; 

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the 
people of is'ra-el, that by the name of Je'sus 
Christ of Naz'a-reth, whom ye crucified, whom 
God raised from the dead, even by him doth 
this man stand here before you whole. 

11 d This is the stone which was set at 
nought of you builders, which is become the 
head of the corner. 

12 Neither c is there salvation in any other: 
for there is none other name under heaven 
given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

13 H Now when they saw the boldness of 
Pe'ter and John, and ^perceived that they were 
unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; 



c. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as 
of ourselves: but our sufficiency is of Gcd. (II Cor. 3:5.) 

d. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and 
hanged on a tree. (Acts 5:30.) 

e. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, 
and said, Father, the hour is ccme; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also 
may glorify thee. (Jno. 17:1.) 

f. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and 
they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just 
One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers. (Acts 
7:52.) 

g. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal sal- 
vation unto all them that obey him. (Heb. 5:9.) And this is the 
record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his 
Son. (I Jno. 5:11.) 

h. Then said Jesus. Father, forgive them; for they know not 
what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 
23:34.) And these things will they do unto you, because they have 
not known the Father, nor me. (Jno. 16:3.) Which none of the 
princes of this world knew: for' had they known it, they would not 
have crucified the Lord of glory. (I Cor. 2:8.) 

i. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 
(Is. 50:6.) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised 
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him: and 
with his stripes we are healed: (Is. 53:5.) And after threescore and 
two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the 
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the 
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the 
end of the war desolations are determined. (Dan. 9:26.) 

j. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: 
We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the 
throne of the Majesty in the heavens. (Heb. 8:1.) 

k. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the 
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall 
hearken. (Dt. 18:15 ! Saying. I am the God of thy fathers, the God 
of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses 
trembled, and durst not behold. (Acts 7:32.) 

1. Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was 
faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more 
glory than Moses, ; nasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath 
more honor than the house. (Heb. 3:2, 3.) 



m. For if the w-ord spoken by angels was stedfast, and every 
transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward: 
How r shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the 
first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by 
them that heard him. (Heb. 2:2, 3.) 

n. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that 
curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 
(Gen. 12:3.) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the 
heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham, 
saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (Gal. 3:8.) 

o. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached 
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Am- 
monite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come 
a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel. (Neh. 2:10.) 

b. And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge ever us? 
intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses 
feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. (Ex. 2:14.) And when 
he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the 
people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what author- 
ity doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? (Mat. 
21:23.) 

c. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto 
magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye 
shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach 
you in the same hour what ye ought to say. (Luke 12:11, 12.) 

d. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone 
of the corner. (Ps. 11S:22.) Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious 
corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 
(Is. 28:16.) Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures. 
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head 
of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our 
eyes? (Mat. 21:42.) 

e. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name 
JESUS; for he shall save his people from their sins. (Mat. 1:21.) 
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in 
Christ Jesus. (Rom. 3:24.) For there is one God. and one mediator 
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (I Tim. 2:5.) 

f. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to con-

and 1hey took knowledge of them, that they 
had been with Je'§us. 

14 And beholding the man which was healed 
standing with them, they could say nothing 
against it. 

15 But when they had commanded them to 
go aside out of the council, they conferred 
among themselves, 

16 Saying, ^What shall we do to these men? 
for that indeed a notable miracle hath been 
done by them is manifest to all them that 
dwell in Je-ru'sa-lem; and we cannot deny it. 

17 But that it spread no further among the 
people, let us straitly threaten them, that they 
speak henceforth to no man in this name.' 

18 And they called them, and commanded 
them not to speak at all nor teach in the name 
of Je'sus. 

19 But Pe'ter and John answered and said 
unto them, ''Whether it be right in the sight 
of God to hearken unto you more than unto 
God, judge ye. 

20 For 'we cannot but speak the things 
which we 'have seen and heard. 

21 So when they had further threatened 
them, they let them go, finding nothing how 
they might punish them, because 7i 'of the peo- 
ple : for all men glorified God for 'that which 
was done. 

22 For the man was above forty years old, 
on whom this miracle of healing was shewed. 

23 If 5 And being let go, they "'went to their 
own company, and reported all that the chief 
priests and elders had said unto them. 

24 And when they heard that, they "lifted 
up their voice to God with one accord, and 
said, Lord, thou "art God, which hast made 
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in 
them is: 

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant Da'vid 
hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the 
people imagine vain things? 

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the 
rulers were gathered together against the Lord, 
and against his Christ. 

27 For of a truth against ^thy holy child 
Je'sus, 'nvhom thou hast anointed, both Her'od, 
and P6n'ti-us Pi'late, with the Gen'tile§, and 
the people of Is'ra-el, were gathered together, 

28 For to 'do whatsoever thy hand and thy 
counsel determined before to be done. 



5. Id the address just delivered 
to the Sanhedrin Peter declares the 
separation of the old dead church 
of Judah and the new, living church 
of Christ. In vs. 23-31 that separa- 
tion is declared to be effected. 



Ch. 



A. D. 33. 



1. In vs. 1-11 is given a history 
of the willful deception on the part 
of Ananias and Sapphira, and its 
awful resi-.lts. 



29 And now, Lord, behold their threaten- 
ings: and grant unto thy servants, 'that with 
all boldness they may speak thy word, 

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; 
and that signs and wonders may be done by 
the name of thy holy child Je'§us. 

31 If And when they had prayed, 'the place 
was shaken where they were assembled to- 
gether, and they were all filled with the Ho'ly 
Ghost, and they spake the word of God with 
boldness. 

32 And the multitude of them that believed 
"were of one heart and of one soul : neither 
said any of them that ought of the things 
which he possessed was his own; but they had 
all things common. 

33 And with 'great power gave the apostles 
"witness of the resurrection of the Lord Je- 
§us: and 'great grace was upon them all. 

34 Neither «was there any among them that 
lacked: for as many as were possessors of 
lands or houses sold them, and brought the 
prices of the things that were sold, 

35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet : 
x and distribution was made unto every man 
according as he had need. 

36 And J5'se§, who by the apostles was sur- 
named Bar'na-bas, (which is, being interpreted, 
The son of consolation,) a Le'vite, and of the 
country of Cy'prus, 

37 Having ""land, sold it, and brought the 
money, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 After Ananias and Sapphira his ivife at Pe- 
ter's rebuke had fallen down dead, 17 the 
apostles are again imprisoned, 19 but deliv- 
ered by an angel bidding them to preach 
openly to all. 

1 ] But a certain man named An-a-ni'as, with 
Sap-phi'ra his wife, sold a possession, 

2 And kept "back part of the price, his wife 
also being privy to it, and brought a certain 
part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 

3 But ''Pe'ter said, An-a-ni'as, why hath Sa'- 
tan ''filled thine heart to lie to the Ho'ly Ghost, 
and to keep back part of the price of the land? 

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? 
and after it was sold, was it not in thine own 
power? why hast thou conceived this thing in 
thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but 
unto God. 



found the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world 
to confound the things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:27.) 

g. Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, 
and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. (Jno. 
11:47.) 

h. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We 
ought to obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29.) 

i This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 
(Acts 2:32.) 

j. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast 
seen and heard. (Acts 22:15.) That which was from the beginning, 
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we 
have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life. 
(I Jno. 1:1.) 

k. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill 
him; for they feared the people. (Luke 22:2.) 

1. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up; and 
immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. And he leap- 
ing up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, 
walking, and leaping, and praising God. (Acts 3:7, 8.) 

m. And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house 
of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many 
were gathered together praying. (Acts 12:12.) 

n. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless 
his holy name. (Ps. 103:1.) 

o. Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the 
earth by thy great power, and stretched-out arm, and there is noth- 
ing too hard for thee. (Jer. 32:17.) 

p. For such an High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, 
undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. 
(Heb. 7:26.) 

q. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord 
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent 
me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, 
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) 
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the 
world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? (Jno. 
10:36.) 

r. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowl- 
edge of God, ve have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and 
slain. (Acts 2:23.)

t. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rush- 
ing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 
(Acts 2:2.) 

u. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like 
minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus. (Rom. 15:5.) 

v. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in 
power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know 
what manner of men we were among you for your sake. (I Thess. 
1:5.) 

w. Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that 
he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with 
us of his resurrection. (Acts 1:22.) 

x. Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the 
Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. (Acts 2:47.) 

y. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, 
To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep 
himself unspotted from the world. (Js. 1:27.) 

z. And in those days, when the number of the disciples was 
multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the 
Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministra- 
tion. (Acts 6:1.) 

aa. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or 
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my 
name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlast- 
ing life. (Mat. 19:29.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while 
some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced 
themselves through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) 

b. When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou 
shalt not slack to pay it; for the Lord thy God will surely require it 
of thee; and it would be sin in thee. (Dt. 23:21.) 

c. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father 
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not 
in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh 
a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

5 And An-a-ni'as hearing these words 2 fell 
''down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear 
came on all them that heard these things. 

6 And the young men arose, f wound him up, 
and carried him out, and buried him. 

7 And it was about the space of three hours 
after, when his wife, not knowing what was 
done, came in. 

8 And Pe'ter answered unto her, Tell me 
whether ye sold the land for so much? And 
she said, Yea, for so much. 

9 Then Pe'ter said unto her, How is it that 
ye have agreed together 3 to 'tempt the Spirit of 
the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have 
buried thy husband are at the door, and shall 
carry thee out. 

10 Then 2 fell she down straightway at his 
feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young 
men came in, and found her dead, and, carry- 
ing her forth, buried her by her husband. 

11 And great fear came upon all the church, 
and upon as many as heard ■''these things. 

12 % And by the hands of the apostles were 
many signs and wonders wrought among the 
people; (and they were 4 all with one accord in 
Sol'o-mon's porch. 

13 And ; 'of the rest durst no man join him- 
self to them: but the people magnified them. 

14 And believers were the more added to the 
Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) 

15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick 
into the streets, and laid them on beds and 
couches, that 'at the least the shadow of Pe'- 
ter passing by might overshadow some of them. 

16 There came also a multitude out of the 
cities round about unto Je-ru'sa-lem, bringing 
'sick folks, and them which were vexed with 
unclean spirits: and they were healed every 
one. 

17 If Then the high priest rose up, and all 
they that were with him, (which is the sect 
of the Sad'du-cee§,) and were filled with indig- 
nation, 

18 And 7, laid their hands on the apostles, and 
put them in the common prison. 

19 But 'the angel of the Lord by night 
opened the prison doors, and brought them 
forth, and said, 

20 Go, stand and speak in the r 'temple to the 
people '"all the words of this "life. 

21 And when they heard that, they entered 
into the temple early in the morning, and 
taught. But the high priest came, and they 
that were with him, and called the 7 council to- 
gether, and all the senate of the children of Is'- 
ra-el, and sent to the prison to have them 
brought. 

22 But when the officers came, and found 
them not in the prison, they returned, and told, 



2. Struck down by the Holy Spir- 
it, which was but the expression of 
the Holy Spirit condemnation of sin. 



To try, to put to the test. 



4. The apostles. 



5. In the very midst of strife, 
corruption and religious persecution. 



6. The Christian's life — a life not 
known to the world before. 



8. What it might become, what 
influence it might develop. 



9. In vs. 27-42 is an account of 
the second appearance of Peter and 
John before the Sanhedrin, their dis- 
missal, and continued preaching. 



10. Strictly. 



11. That is, to give the privilege 
or power, a living opportunity of 
repentance. 



23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut 
with all safety, and the keepers standing with- 
out before the doors: but when we had opened, 
we found no man within. 

24 Now when the high priest and "the cap- 
tain of the temple and the chief priests heard 
these things, they doubted of them whereunto 
this would "grow. 

25 Then came one and told them, saying, Be- 
hold, the men whom ye put in prison are stand- 
ing in the temple, and teaching the people. 

26 Then went the captain with the officers, 
and brought them without violence: °for they 
feared the people, lest they should have been 
stoned. 

27 9 And when they had brought them, they 
set them before the council: and the high 
priest asked them, 

28 Saying, ?Did not we 10 straitly command 
you that ye should not teach in this name? and, 
behold, ye have filled Je-ru'sa-lem with your 
doctrine, ^and intend to bring this man's blood 
upon us. 

29 H Then Pe'ter and the other apostles an- 
swered and said, r We ought to obey God rather 
than men. 

30 The God of our fathers raised up Je'§us, 
whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand 
to be s a Prince and f a Saviour, for to give "re- 
pentance to Is'ra-el, and forgiveness of sins. 

32 And "we are his witnesses of these things; 
and so is also the l 'H5'ly Tjhost, whom God hath 
given to them that obey him. 

33 1! When they heard that, they were cut 
to. the heart, and took counsel to slay them. 

34 Then stood there up one in the council, a 
Phar'i-see, named Ga-ma'li-el, a doctor of the 
law, had in reputation among all the people, and 
commanded to put the apostles forth a little 
space; 

35 And said unto them, Ye men of Is'ra-el, 
take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as 
touching these men. 

36 For before these days rose up Theu'das, 
boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a 
number of men, about four hundred, joined 
themselves: who was slain; and all, as many 
as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to 
nought. 

37 After this man rose up Ju'das of Gal'i-lee 
in the days of the taxing, and drew away much 
people after him: he also perished; and all, 
even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 

38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from 
these men, and let them alone: for if this coun- 
sel or this work be of men, it will come to 
nought : 

39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow 



d. Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the 
land, died by the plague before the Lord. (Num. 14:37.) 

e. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes 
with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. (Jno. 19:40.) 

f. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt 
the Lord thy God. (Mat. 4:7.) 

g. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, 
and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to 
his own will? (Heb. 2:4.) 

h. These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: 
for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he 
was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. (Jno. 9:22.) 

i. For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I 
shall be whole. (Mat. 9:21.) 

j. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name 
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They 
shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall 
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall' re- 
cover. (Mk. 16:17, 18.) 

k. But before all. these, they shall lay their hands on you, and 
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into pris- 
ons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. (Lu. 
21:12.) 

1. The angel of the Lord eneampeth round about them that fear 
him, and delivereth them. (Ps 34:7.) 

m. And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing 
on the right side of the altar of incense. (Lu. 1:11.) But even the 
very hairs of yotir head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye 
are of more value than many sparrows (7). The life is more than 
meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Lu. 12:7, 23.) But while 
he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared 



unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to 
take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is 
of the Holy Ghost (20). Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as 
the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife. 
(Mat. 1:20, 24.) And when they were departed, behold, the angel of 
the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take 
the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou 
there until I bring thee word: for Herod wHl seek the young child 
to destroy him (13). But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of 
the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. (Mat. 2:13, 19.) 

n. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and 
captains, how he might betray him unto them. (Lu. 22:4.) 

o. But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold 
John as a prophet. (Mat. 21:26.) 

p. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at 
all nor teach in the name of Jesus. (Acts 4:18.) 

q. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowl- 
edge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and 
slain. (Acts 2:23.) 

r. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please 
men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 
(Gal. 1:10.) 

s. And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the 
dead; whereof we are witnesses. (Acts 3:15.) 

t. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name

God. 

40 And to him they agreed: and when they 
had called the apostles, "and beaten them, they 
commanded that they should not speak in the 
name of Je'sus, and let them go. 

41 '[ And they departed from the presence of 
the council, u rejoicing that they were counted 
worthy to suffer shame for his name. 

42 And daily in the temple, and in every 
house, they ceased not to teach and preach Je'- 
sus Christ. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 The apostles, desirous to have the poor re- 
garded, 3 appoint the office of deaconship to 
seven chosen men. 

1 And in those days, "when the number of 
the disciples was multiplied, there arose a mur- 
muring of the 6 Gre'gian§ against the He'brew§, 
because their widows were neglected in the 
daily ministration. 

2 Then the twelve called the multitude of Hhe 
disciples unto them, and said, f It is not reason 
that we should leave the word of God, and serve 
tables. 

3 Wherefore, brethren, d look ye out among 
you 2 seven men of honest "report, full of the 
Ho'ly Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint 
over this business. 

4 But we 'will give ourselves continually to 
prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 

5 11 And the saying pleased the whole multi- 
tude: and they chose Ste'phen, a man full of 
faith and of the Ho'ly Ghost, and Phil'ip, and 
Proch'o-rus, and Ni-ca'nor, and Ti'mon, and 
Par'me-nas, and Nic'o-las a proselyte of An'ti- 
och: 

6 Whom they set before the apostles: and 
when ''they had prayed, #they laid their hands 
on them. 

7 And ''the word of God increased; and the 
number of the disciples multiplied in Je-ru'sa- 
lem greatly; and a" great company of the priests 
were obedient to the faith. 

8 And Ste'phen, full of faith and power, did 
great wonders and miracles among the people. 

9 1f 4 Then there arose certain of the syna- 
gogue, which is called the synagogue of the 
5 Lib'er-tine§, and Cy-re'ni-ans, and Al-e^-an'- 
dri-ans, and of them of Gi-11'cia and of A'gia, 
disputing with Ste'phen.

also Gen. 15:7 — "And he said unto

thee this land to inherit it." This 
would imply a previous call.

dom and the spirit by which he spake. 

11 Then •'they 'suborned men, which said, We 
have heard him speak "blasphemous words 
against Mo'§e§, and against God. 

12 And they stirred up the people, and the 
elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and 
caught him, and brought him to the council, 

13 And set up false witnesses, which said, 
This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous 
words against this holy place, and the law: 

14 For ,i 'we have heard him say, that this Je'- 
§us of Naz'a-reth shall 'destroy this place, and 
shall change the '"customs which Mo'sjes. deliv- 
ered us. 

15 And all that sat in the council, looking 
stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been 
the- face of "an angel. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 Stephen sheweth that Abraham worshipped 
God rightly, and how God chose the fathers 
20 before Moses was born: 37 that Moses 
himself witnessed of Christ. 54 He is stoned 
to death. 

1 J Then said the high priest, Are these things 
so? 

2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, 
hearkenj The God of glory appeared unto our 
father A'bra-ham, when he was in 2 Mes-o-po- 
ta'mi-a, before he dwelt in "Char' ran, 

3 And said unto him, "Get thee out of thy 
country, and from thy kindred, and come into 
the land which I shall shew thee. 

4 Then came he out of the land of the Chal- 
dae'an§, and dwelt in 4 Char'ran: and from 
thence, when his father was dead, he removed 
him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 

5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, 
not so much as to set his foot on : yet he ''prom- 
ised that he would give it to him for a posses- 
sion, and to his seed after him, when as yet he 
had no child. 

6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed 
should sojourn in a strange land; and that 
they should bring them into bondage, and en- 
treat them evil four hundred years. 

7 And the nation to whom they shall be in 
bondage will I judge, said God: and after that 
shall they come forth, and c serve me in this 
place. 

8 And d he gave him the Covenant of circum- 



both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of 
the Holy Ghost, according to his own will. (Heb. 2:4.) 

w. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to 
councils: and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be 
brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against 
them. (Mk. 13:9.) 

x. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in 
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 
(Mat. 5:12.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of 
the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they 
of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. (Ps. 72:16.) 

b. And he spoke boldly in the name of . the Lord Jesus, and dis- 
puted against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. (Acts 
9:29.) 

c. And Moses' father-in-law said unto him. The thing that thou 
doest is not good. (Ex. 1S:17.) No- man that warreth entangleth him- 
self with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath 
chosen him to be a soldier. (II Tim. 2:4.) 

d. Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among 
your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. (Dt. 1:13.) More- 
over he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he 
fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (I Tim. 3:7.) 

e. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fel- 
lowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (Acts 2:42.) 

f. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the 
hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen. 
(Acts 1:24.) 

g. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the 
Holy Ghost. (Acts 8:17.) Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which 
was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the 
presbytery. (I Tim. 4:14.) Wherefore I put thee in remembrance 
that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on 
of my hands. (II Tim. 1:6.) 

h. Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bring- 
eth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, s>nce the day ye heard of it, 
and knew the grace of God in truth. (Col. 1:6.) 

i. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach 
thee what thou shalt say. (Ex. 4:12.) No weapon . that is formed 



against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against 
thee in judgment thcu shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the 
servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the 
Lord. (Is. 54:17.) For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which 
all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. (Lu. 
21:15.) 

j. Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought 
false witness against Jesus, to put him to death. (Mat. 26:59.) 

k. While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the 
Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cesar, have I of- 
fended any thing at all. (Acts 25:8.) 

I. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, 
but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall 
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with 
a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 
(Dan. 9:26.) 

m. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. 
Now that which deeayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. 
(Heb. 8:13.) But Christ being come an High Priest of good things to 
come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, 
that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and 
calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, 
having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Heb. 9:11, 12.) 

n. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as 
snow. (Mat. 28:3.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy coun- 
try, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land 
that I will show thee. (Gen. 12:1.) 

b. And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed 
will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, 
who appeared unto him. (Gen. 12:7.) 

c. And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be 
a token unto thee that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought 
forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this moun- 
tain. (Ex. 3:12.) 

d. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant 
therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. (Gen. 
17:9.)

cumcised him the eighth day; '"and I saac begat 
Ja'cob; and Ja'cob begat the twelve patriarchs. 

9 And the -"patriarchs, moved with envy, sold 
Jo'seph into E'gypt: ''but God was with him, 

10 And delivered him out of all his afflic- 
tions, 'and gave him favour and wisdom in the 
sight of Pharaoh king of E'gypt; and he made 
him governor over E'gypt and all his house. 

11 Now there came a dearth over all the 
land of E'gypt and Cha'naan and great afflic- 
tion : and our fathers found no sustenance. 

12 But when Ja'cob heard that there was 
corn in E'gypt, he sent out our fathers first. 

13 And at the second time Jo'seph was made 
known to his brethren; and Jo'seph's kindred 
was made known unto Pha'raoh. 

14 - ; Then sent Jo'seph, and called his father 
Ja'cob to him, and all his kindred, '-'threescore 
and fifteen souls. 

15 So Ja'cob went down into E'gypt, and 
'died, he, and our fathers, 

16 And '"were carried over into Sy'chem, and 
laid in "the sepulchre that A'bra-ham bought 
for a sum of money of the sons of Em'mor the 
father of Sy'chem. 

17 But when the time of the promise drew 
nigh, which God had sworn to A'bra-ham, the 
people grew and multiplied in E'gypt, 

18 Till another king arose, which knew not 
Jo'seph. 

19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, 
and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast 
out their young children, to the end they might 
not live. 

20 T In °which time Alo'ses was bom, and was 
exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's 
house three months: 

21 And when he was cast out, Pha'ra5h's 
daughter took him up, and nourished him for 
her own son. 

22 And Mo'ses was learned in all the wisdom 
of the E-gyp'tians, and was ^mighty in words 
and in deeds. 

23 And r Avhen he was full forty years old, it 
came into his heart to visit his brethren the 
children of Is'ra-el. 

24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he 
defended him, and avenged him that was op- 
pressed, and smote the E-gyp'tian:

church did exi^t in Egypt: which, if

understood how that God by his hand would de- 
liver them: but they understood not. 

26 And the next day he shewed himself unto 
them as they strove, and would have set them 
at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren ; why 
do ye wrong one to another? 

27 But he that did . his neighbour wrong 
thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a 
ruler and a judge over us? 

28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the 
E-gyp'tian yesterday? 

29 'Then fled Alo'ses at this saying, and was 
a stranger in the land of Ma'di-an, where he 
-begat two sons. 

30 And when forty years were expired, there 
appeared to him in the wilderness of mount 
s Si'na 'an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire 
in a bush. 

31 When Alo'ses saw it, he wondered at the 
sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the 
voice of the Lord came unto him, 

32 Saying, "I am the God of thy fathers, the 
God of A'bra-ham, and the God of I'saac, and 
the God of Ja'cob. Then Mo'ses. trembled, and 
durst not behold. 

33 Then 'said the Lord to him, Put off thy 
shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou 
standest is holy ground. 

34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of 
my people which is in E'gypt, and I have heard 
their groaning, and am come down to deliver 
them. And now come, I will send thee into 
E'gypt. 

35 This Mo'ses whom they refused, saying, 
Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same 
did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer ,r by 
the hand of the angel which appeared to him in 
the bush. 

36 J He brought them out, after that he hai 
shewed wonders and signs in the land of E'gypt, 
and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty 
years. 

37 *~ This is that Mo'ses, which said unto the 
children of Is'ra-el, "A prophet shall the Lord 
your God raise up unto you of your brethren, 
like unto me; him shall ye hear. 

38 This is he, that was in the church in the 
wilderness with J the angel which spake to him 
in the mount Si'na, and with our fathers: 
'"who received the s lively oracles to give unto

e. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, 
at the set time of which God had spoken to him. (Gen. 21:2.) Abra- 
ham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and 
h;s brethren. (Mat. 1:2.) 

f. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took -hold 
en Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was three- 
score years old when she bare them. (Gen. 25:26.) 

g. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more 
than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably 
unto him. (Gen. 37:4.) 

h. And the Lord was w4th Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; 
and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. (Gen. 39:2.) 

i. And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that 
sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and 
bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 
(Gen. 42:6.) 

j. Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus 
saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come 
down unto me, tarry not. (Gen. 45:9.) 

k. And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were 
two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, 
were threescore and ten. (Gen. 46:27.) 

1. And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, 
he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and 
was gathered unto his people. (Gen. 49:33.) And Joseph died, and all 
his brethren, and all that generation. (Ex. 1:6.) 

m. And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had 
straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; 
and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you. (Ex. 13:19.) 
And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up 
out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which 
Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem, for an 
hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the chil- 
dren of Joseph. (Josh. 24:32.) 

n. And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed 
to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the. audience of the 
sons of Heth. four bundrr-d shekels of silver, current money with the 
merchant. 'Gen. 23:16.)

p. And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto h'm. 
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed 
and word before God and all the people. (Luke 24:19.) 

q. And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, 
that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and 
he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. (Ex. 
2:11.) 

r. Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. 
But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of 
Midian: and he sat down by a well. lEx. 2:15.) 

s. And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the 
Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an 
Ethiopian woman. (Num. 12:1.) 

t. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his pres- 
ence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and 
he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. (Is. 63:9.) 

u. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with 
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Mat. 
22:37.) 

v. And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose 
thy shoe from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is 
holy. And Joshua did so. (Josh. 5:15.) 

w. And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sect 
an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt; and, behold, we 
are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border. (Num. 20:16.) 

x. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty 
years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the 
Lord Went out from the land of Egypt. (Ex. 15:41.) 

y. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the 
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall heark- 
en. (Dt. 15:15.) 

z. In all their afiliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his pres- 
ence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them: and 
he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. (Is. 63:9.) 
Wherefore then serveth the. law? It was added because of transgres- 
sions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made: and 
it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. (Gal. 3:19.) 

aa. Now these are the iudgments which thou shalt set before 
them. (Ex. 21:1.) For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and

us out of the land of E'gypt, we wot not what is 
become of him.

offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in 
the works of their own hands.

wilderness? 

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Mo'- 
loeh, and the star of your god Rem'phan, fig- 
ures which ye made to worship them: and I 
will carry you away beyond Baby-Ion. 

44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of wit- 
ness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, 
speaking unto Mo'ses, "that he should make it 
according to the fashion that he had seen. 

45 Which ^also our fathers that came after 
brought in with Je'sus into the possession of 
the Gen'tile§, whom God drave out before the 
face of our fathers, unto the days of Da'vid;

sired to find a tabernacle for the God of Ja'- 
cob. 

47 But Sol'o-mon built him an house. 

48 Howbeit 12 ihe most High dwelleth not in

the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 

50 Hath not my hand made all these things? 

51 If Ye ''''stiffneeked ''and "uncircumeised in

to baptize the Ethiopian eunuch. 

1 And J Saul was consenting unto his death. 
And at that time there was a great persecu- 
tion against the church "which was at Je-ru'sa- 
lem; and "they were all scattered abroad 
throughout the regions of Jii-das'a and Sa-ma'- 
ri-a, except the apostles. 

2 And devout men carried Ste'phen to his 
burial, and made great lamentation over him. 

3 As for Saul, b he made 3 havock of the 
church, entering into every house, and haling 
men and women committed them to prison. 

4 Therefore 'they that were scattered abroad 
went every where preaching the word. 

5 tf Then 'Philip went down to the city of 
5 Sa-ma'ri'a, and preached Christ unto them. 

6 And the people with one accord gave heed 
unto those things which Phil 'Ip spake, hearing 
and seeing the miracles which he did. 

7 For c unclean spirits, crying with loud 
voice, came out of many that were possessed 
with them: and many taken with palsies, and 
that were lame, were healed. 

8 And there was great joy in that city. 

9 But there was a certain man, called Si- 
mon, which beforetime in the same city ''used 
sorcery, and bewitched the people of Sa-ma'ri-a, 
giving out that himself was some great one: 

10 To whom i'they all gave heed, from the 
least to the greatest, saying, This man is the 
great power of God. 

11 And to him they had regard, because that 
of long time he had bewitched them with sor- 
ceries. 

12 But when they believed Phil'ip preaching 
the things ''concerning the kingdom of God, and 



bb. And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down 
out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, 
and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as 
for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, 
we wot .cot what is become of him. (Ex. 32:1.) 

cc. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that 
they should believe a lie. (II Thess. 2:11.) 

dd. And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, 
either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven which I have 
not commanded. (Dt. 17:3.) 

ee. And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was 
shown thee in the mount. (Ex. 25:40.) 

ff. And it came to pass, when the people removed from their 
tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the 
covenant before the people. (Josh. 3:14.) 

gg. Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth 
is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and 
where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand 
made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this 
man will I look, even to him that is poor, and of a contrite spirit, and 
trembleth at my word. (Is. 66:1, 2.) 

hh. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an 
iron sinew, and thy brow brass. (Is. 48:4.) 

ii. Thus saith the Lord God; No stranger, uncircumeised in heart, 
nor uncircumeised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any 
stranger that is among the children of Israel. (Ez. 44:9.) 

jj. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, 
and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his 
people, till there was no remedy. (II Chr. 36:16.) 

kk. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a mur- 
derer to be granted unto you. (Acts 3:14.) 

1L And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of 
the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw 
the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. 
(Mat. 3:16.) 



mm. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed 
me, O Lord God of truth. (Ps. 31:5.) 

nn. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concern- 
ing them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which 
have no hope. (I Thess. 4:13.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution 
that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and 
Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. (Acts 
11:19.) 

b. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be 
called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. (I Cor. 
15:9.) For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the 
Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of 
God, and wasted it. (Gal. 1:13.) 

c. Bu«t when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: 
for verily I say unto you. Ye shall not have gone over the cities of 
Israel, till the Son of man be come. (Mat. 10:23.) 

d. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose 
Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and 
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a 
proselyte of Antioch. (Acts 6:5.) 

e. And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he 
gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and (0 
heal all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease. (Mat. 10:1.) 
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the dev- 
ils are subject unto us through thy name. (Luke 10:17.) 

f. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they 
found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was 
Bar-jesus. (Acts 13:6.) 

g. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowl- 
edge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things 
which are not convenient. (Rom. 1:28.) 

h. To whom also he snowed himself alive after his passion by 
many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking 
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3.)

the name of Je'sus Christ, they were baptized, 
both men and women. 

13 Then Si'mon himself believed also: and 
when he was baptized, he continued with Phil'- 
ip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and 
signs which were done. 

14 Now when the apostles which were at Je- 
ru'sa-lem heard that Sa-ma'ri-a had received 
the word of God, they sent unto them Pe'tei' 
and John: 

15 Who, when they were come down, prayed 
for them, that 'they might receive the Ho'ly 
Ghost : 

16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of 
them: only ^'they were baptized in the name 
of the Lord Je'sus.) 

17 Then ''laid they their hands on them, and 
they received the Ho'ly Ghost. 

18 And when Si'mon saw that through lay- 
ing on of the apostles' hands the HS'ly Ghost 
was given, he offered them money, 

19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on 
whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the 
Ho'ly Gh5st._ 

20 But Pe'ter said unto him, Thy money 
perish with thee, because 'thou hast thought 
that '"the gift of God may be purchased with 
money. 

21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this 
matter: for thy "heart is not-right in the sight 
of God. 

22 "Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, 
and pray God, "if perhaps the thought of thine 
heart may be forgiven thee. 

23 For I perceive that thou art in the Pgall 
of T bitterness, and in the s bond of iniquity. 

24 Then answered Si'mon, and said, Pray ye 
eto the Lord for me, that none of these things 
which ye have spoken come upon me. 

25 And they, when they had testified and 
preached the word of the Lord, returned to Je- 
ru'sa-lem, and preached the gospel in many vil- 
lages of the Sa-mar'i-tan§. 

26 And the °angel of the Lord spake unto 
Phil'ip, saying, Arise, arid go toward the 
south unto the way that goeth down from Je- 
ru'sa-lem unto Ga'za, which is desert. 

27 And_ he arose and went: and, behold, r a 
man of E-thi-o'pi-a, an eunuch of great au- 
thority under Can'da-ce, queen of the E-thi- 
5'pi-an§, who had the charge of all her treas-

28 10 Was returning, and sitting in his char- 
iot read E-§a'ias the prophet. 

29 Then the Spirit 'said unto Phil'ip, Go 
near, and join thyself to this chariot. 

30 And Phil'ip ran thither to him, and heard 
him read the prophet E-§a'ias, and said, Under- 
standest thou what thou readest? 

31 And he said, How can I, except some man 
should guide me? And he desired Phil'ip that 
he would come up and sit with him. 

32 The place of the scripture he read was 
this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; 
and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so 
opened he not his mouth : 

33 In his humiliation his judgment was ta- 
ken away: and who shall declare his genera- 
tion? for his life is taken from the earth. 

34 And the eunuch answered Phil'ip, and 
said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the proph- 
et this? of himself, or of some other man? 

35 Then Phil'ip opened his mouth, and v he- 
gan at the same scripture, and preached unto 
him Je'§us. 

36 And as they went on their way, they 
came unto a certain water; and the eunuch 
said, See, here is water; "-"what doth hinder 
me to be "baptized? 

37 And Phil'ip said, *If thou believest with 
all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered 
and said, ^1 believe that Je'sus Christ is the 
Son of God. 

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand 
still: and they went down both into the water, 
both Phil'ip and the eunuch; and he "baptized 
him. 

39 And when they were come up out of the 
water, -the Spirit of the Lord caught away 
Phil'ip, that the eunuch saw him no more : 
and he went on his way rejoicing. 

40 But Phil'ip was found at 1= A-zo'tus: and 
passing through he preached in all the cities, 
till he came to 13 Cses-a-re'a.

who can know it? (Jer. 17:9.) Having a form of godliness, but deny- 
ing the power thereof: from such turn away. (II Tim. 3:5.)

that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and

u. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep 
before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was 
taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his gen- 
eration? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the trans-

righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 
(Rom. 10:10.) 

z. And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, 
that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and

to the synagogues, that if he found any of this 
way, whether they were men or women, he 
might bring them bound unto 3 Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3 And 6 as he journeyed, he came near Da- 
mascus: and suddenly there shined round 
about him a light from heaven: 

4 And he 4 fell to the earth, and heard a voice 
saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why c persecutest 
"thou me? 

5 And he said, 'Who art thou, Lord? And 
the Lord said, / am Je"§us whom thou perse- 
cutest: e it is hard for thee to kick against the 
''pricks. 

6 And he trembling and astonished said, 
7 Lord, fwhat wilt thou have me to do? And 
the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the 
city, and it shall be told thee what thou must 
do. 

I And #the men which journeyed with him 
stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing 
no man. 

8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when 
his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but 
they led him by the hand, and brought him 
into Da-mas'cus. 

9 And he was three days without sight, and 
neither did eat nor drink. 

10 If s And there was a certain disciple at Da- 
mas'cus, named An-a-ni'as; and to him said 
the Lord in a vision, An-a-ni'as. And he said, 
Behold, I am here, Lord. 

II And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and 
go into the street which is called "Straight, and 
enquire in the house of Ju'das for one called 
Saul, of Tdr'sus: for, behold, he prayeth, 

12 And hath seen in a vision a man named 
An-a-ni'as coming in, and putting his hand on 
him, that he might receive his sight. 

13 Then An-a-ni'as answered. Lord, I have 
heard by many of this man, how much evil 
he hath done to thy saints at Je-ru'sa-lem: 

14 And here he hath authority from the 
chief priests to bind all that call ''on thy name. 

15 But the Lord'said unto him, Go thy way: 
for i he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my 
name before 'the Gen'tiles, and k kings, and the 
children of Is'ra-el. 

16 For l I will shew him how great things 
he must suffer for my name's sake. 

17 And '"An-a-ni'as went his way, and en- 
tered into the house; and putting his hands 
on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even 



To be tried ,"nd punished. 



4. All that were with him were 
for a moment struck to the earth by 
the awfulness of the glorious light of 
God. 



5. As represented by his follow- 
ers. 



6. Goads, sharp points. 



7. The manly, courageous, ener- 
getic character of Saul asserts itself 
without the loss of a moment when 
he feels upon him the hand of God. 
Without hesitation he is as ready 
to take up the cause with all the 
zeal of his being as he was hereto- 
fore to persecute it. 



8. In vs. 10-1S Saul is baptized 
by Ananias. 



9. So called from dividing the 
city into two parts. 



10. In vs. 19-30 is an account of 
Saul at Damascus, Jerusalem and 
Tarsus, his first appearance as a 
discipk^of Christ. 



11. According to Gal. 1:17, 18 the 
time here meant from Saul's conver- 
sion to his going to Jerusalem, was 
three years. "Neither went I up to 
Jerusalem to them which were apos- 
tles before me; but I went into 
Arabia and returned again unto Da- 
mascus. Then after three years I 
went up to Jerusalem." 



Je'§us, that appeared unto thee in the way as 
thou earnest, hath sent me, that thou mightest 
receive thy sight, and "be filled with the HS'ly 
Ghost. 

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes 
as it had been scales: and he received sight 
forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 

19 10 And when he had received meat, he 
was strengthened. "Then was Saul certain 
days with the disciples which were at Da- 
mas'cus. 

20 And straightway he preached Christ in 
the synagogues, ' J that he is the Son of God. 

21 But all that heard him were amazed, and 
said; Is not' this he that destroyed them which 
called on this name in Je-ru'sa-lem, and came 
hither for that intent, that he might bring 
them bound unto the chief priests? 

22 But Saul increased the more in strength, 
and 'confounded the Jew§ which dwelt at Da- 
mas'cus, proving that this is very Christ. 

23 II And after that many "days were ful- 
filled, ■'•'the Jews, took counsel to kill him: 

24 But their laying await was known of 
Saul. And they watched the gates day and 
night to kill him. 

25 Then the disciples took him by night, and 
let him down "by the wall in a basket. 

26 And f when Saul was come to Je-ru'sa- 
lem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: 
but they were all afraid of him, and believed 
not that he was a disciple. 

27 But Bar'na-bas took him, and brought 
him to the apostles, and declared unto them 
how he had seen the Lord in the way, and 
that he had spoken to him, and how he had 
preached boldly at Da-mas'cus in the name of 
Je'sus. 

28 And he was with them coming in and 
going out at Je-ru'sa-lem. 

29 And he spake "boldly in the name of the 
Lord Je'sus, and disputed against the "Gre'- 
cian§: "'but they went about to slay him. 

30 Which when the brethren knew, they 
brought him down to Cass-a-re'a, and sent him 
forth to Tar'sus. 

31 Then had the churches rest throughout 
all Ju-das'a and Gal'i-lee and Sa-ma'ri-a, and 
were edified; and walking in the fear of the 
Lord, and in the comfort of the Ho'ly Ghost, 
were multiplied. 

32 H And it came to pass, as Pe'ter passed 



b. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of 
due time. (I Cor. 15:8.) 

c. And the king shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my 
brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Mat. 25:40.) For as the body is 
one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, 
being many, are one body; so also is Christ. (I Cor. 12:12.) For we 
are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. (Eph. 5:30.) 

d. Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injuri- 
ous: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 
(I Tim. 1:13.) 

e. But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be 
found even to fight against God. (Acts 5:39.) 

f. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, 
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, 
what shall we do? (Acts 2:37.) 

g. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with 
me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that 
they fled to hide themselves. (Dan. 10:7.) 

h. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord 
Jesus, receive my spirit. (Acts 7:59.) And now why tarriest thou? 
arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name 
of the Lord. (Acts 22:16.) Flee also youthful lusts: but follow right- 
eousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out Of 
a pure heart. (II Tim. 2:22.) 

i. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost 
said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have 
called them. (Acts 13:2.) And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send 
thee far hence unto the Gentiles. (Acts 22:21.) Paul, a servant of 
Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of 
God. (Rom. 1:1.) For what have I to do to judge them also that are 
without? do not ye judge them that are within? (I Cor. 5:12.) 

j. By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience 
to the faith among all nations, for his name. (Rom. 1:5.) For I 
speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, 
I magnify mine office. (Rom. 11:13.) 

k. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for 
thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for him- 
self. (Acts 26:1.) 

1. Say that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that 



bonds and afflictions abide me. (Acts 20:23.) And when he was come 
unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, 
and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem 
bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the 
hands of the Gentiles. (Acts 21:11.) Are they ministers of Christ? 
(I speak as a fool,) I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes 
above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. (II Cor. 
11:23.) 

m. And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being 
led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. 
(Acts 22:11.) 

n. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to 
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 
2:4.) 

o. But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, 
and throughout al> the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, 
that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for 
repentance. (Acts 26:20.) 

p. And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou 
mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the 
Son of God. (Acts 8:37.) 

r. For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing 
by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. (Acts 18:28.) 

s. And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and 
bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat 
nor drink till they had killed Paul. (Acts 23:12.) 

t. Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles 
before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. 
(Gal. 1:17.) 

u. And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may 
open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel. 
(Eph. 6:19.) 

v. And in those days, when the number of the disciples was mul- 
tiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, 
because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. (Acts 
6:1.) 

w. In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, 
in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils 
in the city, in perils in the wilderness, In perils in the sea, in perils 
among false brethren, (II Cor. 11:26.)

throughout all ^quarters, he came down also 
to the saints which dwelt at Lyd'da. 

33 And there he found a certain man named 
-.E'ne-as, which had kept his bed eight years, 
and was sick of the palsy. 

34 And Pe'ter said unto him, iE'ne-as, Je'- 
sus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make 
thy bed. And he arose immediately. 

35 And all that dwelt at Lyd'da and Sa'ron 
saw him, and turned to the Lord. 

36 r Now there was at Jop'pa a certain dis- 
ciple named Tab'i-tha, which by interpretation 
is called Dor'cas : this woman was full ^'of good 
works and almsdeeds which she did. 

37 And it came to pass in those days, that 
she was sick, and died: whom when they had 
washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. 

38 And forasmuch as Lyd'da was nigh to 
Jop'pa, and the disciples had heard that Pe'ter 
was there, they sent unto him two men, desir- 
ing him that he would not delay to come to 
them. 

39 Then Pe'ter arose and went with them. 
When he was come, they brought him into the 
upper chamber: and all the widows stood by 
him weeping, and shewing the coats and gar- 
ments which Dor'cas made, while she was with 
them. 

40 But Pe'ter -put them all forth, and 
kneeled aa down, and praj^ed; and turning him 
to the bod}- 16 said, Tab'i-tha, arise. And she 
opened her eyes: and when she saw Pe'ter, 
she sat up. 

41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her 
up, and when he had called the saints and 
widows, presented her alive. 

42 And it was known throughout all Jop'pa; 
"'and many believed in the Lord. 

43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many 
days in di J5p'pa with one Si'mon a tanner. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 Cornelius, a devout man, 5 being command- 
ed by an angel, sendeth for Peter: 15,20 
who is taught -not to despise the Gentiles. 

44 The Holy Ghost falleth on the company, 
48 and they are baptized. 

1 There 'was a certain man in Cass-a-re'a 
called Cor-ne'lius, a 2 centurion of the band 
called the I-tal'ian band, 

2 A devout man, and one that feared God 
with all his house, which gave much alms to 
the people, and prayed to God alway. 

3 He °saw in a vision evidently about, the

ninth hour of the day an l angel of God coming 
in to him, and saying unto him, Cor-ne'lius. 

4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, 
and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto 
him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up 
for a c memorial before God. 

5 And now send men to Jop'pa, and call for 
one Si'mon, whose surname is Peter: 

6 He lodgeth with one Si'mon a tanner, 
whose house is by the sea side: d he shall tell 
thee what thou oughtest to do. 

7 And when the angel which spake unto Cor- 
ne'lius was departed, he called two of his 
household servants, and a devout soldier of 
them that waited on him continually; 

8 And when he had declared all these things 
unto them, he sent them to Jop'pa. 

9 r On the morrow, as they went on their 
journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Pe'ter 
went up upon the house top to pray about ( the 
sixth hour: 

10 And he became very hungry, and would 
have eaten : but while they made ready, he fell 
into a trance, 

11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain 
vessel descending unto him, as it had been a 
great sheet knit at the four corners, and let 
down to the earth : 

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted 
beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creep- 
ing things, and fowls of the air. 

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, 
Pe'ter; kill, and eat. 

14 But Pe'ter said, Not so, Lord; ffor I have 
never eaten any thing that is common or un- 
clean. 

15 And the voice spake unto him again the 
second time, "What God hath cleansed, that 
call not thou common. 

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was 
received up again into heaven. 

17 Now while Pe'ter doubted in himself 
what this vision which he had seen should 
mean, behold, the men which were sent from 
Cor-ne'lius had made enquiry for Simon's 
house, and stood before the gate, 

18 And called, and asked whether Si'mon, 
which was surnamed Pe'ter, were lodged there. 

19 If While Pe'ter ''thought on the vision, the 
Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek 
thee. 

20 Arise 'therefore, and get thee down, and 
go with them, doubting nothing: for I have 
sent them. 



x. Xow when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that 
Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and 
John. (Acts. S :14.) 

y. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works 
praise her in the gates. (Prov. 31:31.) But (which becometh women 
professing godliness) with good works. (I Tim. 2:10.) 

z. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her 
by the hand, and the maid arose. (Mat. 9:25.) 

aa. And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried 
unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's 
soul come into him again. (I Ks. 17:21.) 

bb. And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, 
Talitha cumi: which is. being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, 
arise. (Mk. 5:41.) 

ec. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen 
the things which Jesus did, believed on him. (Jno. 11:45.) 

dd. And Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho. 
(Josh. 19:46.) And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou 
shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa, and 
thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. (II Chr. 2:16.) But Jonah rose 
up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down 
to Joppa: and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare 
thereof, and went down into it, 'to go with them unto Tarshish from 
the presence of the Lord. (Jon. 1:3.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, 
which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, 
whose surname is Peter. (Acts 11:13.) 

b. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks 
with the bulls: and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their 
dust made fat with fatness. (Is. 34:7.) For he shall give his angels 
charge over thee, to keep thee«in all thy ways. (Ps. 91:11.) Are they 
not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall 
be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) 

c. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the lift- 
ing up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. (Ps. 141:2.) But to do 
good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is 
well pleased. (Heb. 13:16.) And another angel came and stood at 



the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him 
much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints 
upon the golden altar which was before the throne. (Rev. S~.Z.) 

d. Who shall tell thee ■svords, whereby thou and all thv house 
shall be saved. (Acts 11:14.) 

e. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud; 
and he shall hear my voice. (Ps. 55:17.) 

f. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, 
or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the 
cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. (Lev. 11:4.) 
Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, 
and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your 
souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living 
thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you 
as unclean. (Lev. 20:25.) Then said I. Ah Lord God! behold, my soul 
hath not been polluted; for from my youth up, even till now, have 
I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither 
came there abominable flesh into my mouth. (Ez. 4:14.) 

g. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that 
which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. (Mat. 15:11.) 
I know, and am pursuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing 
unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, 
to him it is unclean (14). For the kingdom of God is not meat and 
drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 
14:14, 17.) Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no 
question for conscience' sake. (I Cor. 10:25.) For every creature of 
God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanks- 
giving. (I Tim. 4:4.) 

h. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide 
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself: but whatsoever 
he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to 
come. (Jno. 16:13.) And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing 
doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we en- 
tered into the man's house. (Acts 11:12.) 

i. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach 
the Gospel to every creature. (Mk. 16:15.) And when there had been 
much disputing, Peter rose up. and said unto them. Men and brethren. 
ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that

21 Then Pe'ter went down to the men which 
were sent unto him from Cor-ne'lius; and said, 
Behold, I am he whom ye seek; what is the 
cause wherefore ye are come? 

22 And they said, Cor-ne'lius the centurion, 
a just man, and one that feareth God, and of 
■'good report among all the nation of the Jew§, 
was warned from God by an holy angel to 
send for thee into his house, and to hear words 
of thee. 

23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. 
And on the morrow Pe'ter went away with 
them, and certain brethren from Jop'pa accom- 
panied him*. 

24 And the morrow after they entered into 
Caes-a-re'a. And Cor-ne'lius waited for them, 
and had called together his kinsmen and near 
friends. 

25 And as Pe'ter was coming in, Cor-ne'lius 
met him, and fell down at his feet, and wor- 
shipped him. 

26 But Pe'ter took him up, saying, *'Stand 
up; I myself also am a man. 

27 And as he talked with him, he went in, 
and found many that were come together. 

28 And he said unto them, Ye know how 
that it 'is an unlawful thing for a man that 
is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one 
of another nation; but '"God hath shewed 4 me 
that I should not call any man common or 
"unclean. 

29 Therefore came I unto you without gain- 
saying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask there- 
fore for what intent ye have sent for me? 

30 And Cor-ne'lius said, Four days ago I 
was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth 
hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, n a 
man stood before me in bright clothing, 

31 And said, Cor-ne'lius, °thy prayer is 
heard, Pand thine alms are had in remem- 
brance in the sight of God. 

32 Send therefore to Jop'pa, and call hither 
Si'mon, whose surname is Pe'ter; he is lodged 
in the house of orte Si'mon a tanner by the sea 
side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto 
thee. 

33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; 
and thou hast well done that thou art come. 
Now therefore are we all here present before 
God, to hear all things that are commanded 
thee of God.

34 If "Then Pe'ter opened his mouth, and 
said, ^Of a truth I perceive that God is no 
respecter of persons: 

35 But 'in every nation he that feareth 
7 him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted 
with him. 

36 The s word which God sent unto the chil- 
dren of Is'ra-el, preaching s peace by Je'§us 
Christ: (Hie is Lord of all:) 

37 That word, I say, ye know, which was 
published throughout all Jti-dae'a, and began 
from Gal'i-lee, after the baptism which John 
preached ; 

38 How "God anointed Je'§us of Naz'a-reth 
with the Ho'ly Ghost and with power: who 
went about doing good, and healing all that 
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with 
him. 

39 And we are witnesses of all things which 
he did both in the land of the Jew§, and in 
Je-ru'sa-lem; whom they slew and hanged on 
a tree: 

40 Him God raised up the third day, and 
shewed him openly; 

41 Not "to all the people, but unto witnesses 
chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat 
and drink with him after he rose from the 
dead. 

42 And he ^commanded us to preach unto 
the people, and to testify that ^it is he which 
was ordained of God to be the Judge of "quick 
^and dead. 

43 To him z glve all the prophets witness, 
that through his name whosoever believeth in 
him shall receive remission of sins. 

44 1f While Pe'ter yet spake these words, the 
Ho'ly Ghost fell on all them which heard the 
word. 

45 And they of the circumcision which be- 
lieved were astonished, as many as came with 
Pe'ter, because that on the Gen'tlle§ also was 
poured out the gift of the Ho'ly Ghost. 

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, 
and magnify God. Then answered Pe'ter, 

47 Can any man forbid water, that these 
should not be baptized, which have received 
the Ho'ly Ghost as well as we? 

48 And he commanded them to be baptized 
in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they 
him to tarry certain days. 



the Gentiles "by my mouth -should hear the word of the Gospel, and 
believe. (Acts 15:7.) 

j. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having 
a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there. (Acts 22:12.) 

k. "Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they 
rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, and saying, 
Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with 
you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities 
unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and 
al! things that are therein. (Acts 14:14, 15.) And I fell at his feet to 
worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy 
fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: 
worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 
(Rev. 19:10.) 

1. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the 
Gentiles: but w'hen they were come, he withdrew and separated him- 
self, fearing them which were of the circumcision. (Gal. 2:12.) 

m. That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, 
and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel. (Eph. 3:6.) 

n. And, while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, 
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel. (Acts 1:10.) 

0. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day 
that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself 
before thv God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 
(Dan. 10:12.) 

p. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of 
love, which ye have shown toward his name, in that ye have min- 
isterpd to the saints, and do minister. (Heb. 6:10.) 

q. For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a 
great God. a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor 
taketh reward. (Dt. 10:17.) Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord 
be upon you; take heed, and do it: for there is no iniquity with the 
Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. (II Chr. 
19:7.) How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, 
nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work 
of his hands. (Job ?4:19.1 For there is no respect of persons with 
God. (Rom. 2:11.) But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (what- 
soever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's 
person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added 
nothing to me. (Gal. 2:6.) But he that doeth wrong shall receive for 
the wrong which he hath done; and there is no respect of persons. 
(Col. 3:25.) And if yo call on the Father, who without respect of per- 



sons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your 
sojourning here in fear. (I Pet. 1:17.) 

r. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the 
doers of the law shall be justified.) (Rom. 2:13.) For by one Spirit 
are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, 
whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into 
one Spirit. (I Cor. 12:13.) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is 
neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all 
one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:28.) That the Gentiles should be fellow- 
heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ 
by the Gospel. (Eph. 3:6.) 

s. I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him that is far 
off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him. (Is. 
57:19.) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, 
and to them that were nigh. (Eph. 2:17.) 

t. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for 
the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (Rom. 
10:12.) Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God: 
angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (I 
Pet. 3:22.) 

u. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed 
me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the 
broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering 
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. (Lu. 
4:1S.) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore 
God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above 
thy fellows. (Heb. 1:9.) 

v. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, he- 
cause it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for 
he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (Jno. 14:17.) 

w. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the 
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Mat. 
28:19.) 

x. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judg- 
ment unto the Son. (Jno. 5:22.) 

y. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that 
he might be Lord both of the dead and living. (Rom. 14:9.) For we 
must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one 
may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath 
done, whether it be good or had. (II Cor. 5:10.) 

z. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: 
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he

CHAPTER 11. 
1 Peter, accused for going in to the Gentiles, 
5 maketh his defence. 19 The gospel being 
spread into Phenice, and Cyprus, and An- 
tioch, Barnabas is sent to confirm them. 

1 And Hhe apostles and brethren that were 
in Ju-das'a heard that the Gen'tlleg "had also 
received the word of God. 

2 And when Pe'ter was come up to Je-ru'sa- 
lem, "they that were of the circumcision Con- 
tended with him, 

3 Saying, 6 Thou wentest in to men uncircum- 
cised, and didst eat with them. 

4 But Pe'ter rehearsed the matter from the 
beginning, and expounded it by order unto 
them, saying, 

5 C I was in the city of JSp'pa praying: and 
in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel 
descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down 
from heaven by four corners; and it came 
even to me: 

6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine 
eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts 
of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping 
things, and fowls of the air. 

7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, 
Pe'ter; slay and eat. 

8 But I said, d Not so, Lord: for nothing 
common or unclean hath at any time entered 
into my mouth. 

9 But the voice answered me again from 
heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not 
thou common. 

10 And this was done three times: and all 
were drawn up again into heaven. 

11 And, behold, immediately there were 
three men already come unto the house where 
I was, sent from Cass-a-re'a unto me. 

12 And c the spirit bade me go with them, 
nothing doubting. Moreover these six breth- 
ren accompanied me, and we entered into the 
man's house: 

13 And he shewed us how he had seen an 
angel in his house, which stood and said unto 
him, Send men to Jop'pa, and call for Si'mon, 
whose surname is Pe'ter; 

14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou 
and all thy house shall be saved. 

15 And as I began to speak, the Ho'ly GhSst 
fell on them, fas on 'us at the "beginning. 

16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, 
how that he said, John ^indeed baptized with 
water; but h ye shall be baptized with the Ho'ly 
Ghost.

them the title of his name. 



17 Forasmuch 'then as God gave them the 
like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the 
Lord Je'sus Christ; what was I, that I could 
withstand God? 

18 When they heard these things, they held 
their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then 
J hath God also to the Gen'tile§ granted re- 
pentance unto life. 

19 If Now A "they which were scattered abroad 
upon the persecution that arose about Ste'phen 
travelled as far as Phe-ni'ce, and Cy prus, and 
An'ti-och, preaching the word to none but unto 
the Jew§ only. 

20 And some of them were men of Cy'prus 
and Cy-re'ne, which, when they were come to 
An'ti'och, spake unto the 'Gre'ciang, preaching 
the Lord Je'§us. 

21 And '"the hand of the Lord was with 
them : and a great number believed, and turned 
unto the Lord. 

22 H Then tidings of these things came unto 
the ears of the church which was in Je-ru'sa- 
lem: and they sent forth 6 Bar'na-bas, that he 
should go as far as An'ti-och. 

23 Who, when he came, and had seen the 
grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, 
that with purpose of heart they would cleave 
unto "the Lord. 

24 For he was a good man, and full of the 
Ho'ly Ghost and of faith: °and much people 
was added unto the Lord. 

25 Then departed Bar'na-bas to Tar'sus, for 
Ho seek Saul : 

26 And when he had found him, he brought 
him unto An'ti-och. And it came to pass, that 
a whole year they assembled themselves with 
the church, and taught much people. And

An'ti-och. 

27 f And in these days came prophets from

Ag'a-biis, and signified by the spirit that there 
should be great dearth throughout all the 
world : which came to pass in the days of Clau'- 
di-us Caa'sar. 

29 Then the disciples, every man according 
to his ability, determined to send 'relief unto 
the brethren which dwelt in Ju-dse'a: 

30 Which also they did, and sent it to the 
^elders by the hands of Bar'na-bas and Saul. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 King Herod persecuteth the Christians, kill- 
eth James, and imprisoneth Peter. 20 In his 



shall bear their iniquities. (Is. 53:11.) In that day there shall be a 
fountain opened to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem, for sin and for uncleanness. (Zech. 13:1.) 
Chapter 11. 

a. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the 
Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated him- 
self, fearing them which were of the circumcision. (Gal. 3:12.) 

b. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful 
thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of 
another nation; but God- hath shown me that I should not call any 
man common or unclean. (Acts 10:28.) 

c. On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh 
unto the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray about the 
sixth hour. (Acts 10:9.) 

d. Then said I, Ah' Lord God! behold, my soul hath not been pol- 
luted; for from my youth up, even till now, have I not eaten of that 
which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abom- 
inable flesh into my mouth. (Ez. 4:14.) 

e. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide 
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever 
he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to 
come. (Jno. 16:13.) 

f. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to 
sneak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 
2:4.) 

g. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that 
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to 
bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. (Mat. 
3:11.) 

h. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon 
the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my bless- 
ing upon thine offspring. (Is. 44:3.) 

i. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving 
them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put no difference 
between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. (Acts 15:8, 9.) 

j. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the 



same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (Rom. 10:12.) 

k. And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there 
was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and 
they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and 
Samaria, except the apostles. (Acts 8:1.) 

1. And in those days, when the number of the disciples was mul- 
tiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, 
because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. (Acts 
6:1.) 

m. And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, 
saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the 
Lord was with him. (Lu. 1:66.) 

n. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him Shalt thou serve, and to 
him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. (Dt. 10:20.) 

o. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both 
of men and women. (Acts 5:14.) 

p. Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to 
Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. (Acts 9:30.) 

q. And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then 
was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus (19). 
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to 
the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that 
he was a disciple (26). And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, 
and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him 
two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. 
(Acts 9:19, 26, 38.) Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, 
he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with 
Barnabas to Derbe (20). Confirming the souls of the disciples, and 
exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through 
much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God (22). And there they 
abode long time with the disciples. (Acts 14:20, 22, 28.) And both 
Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. (Jno. 2:2.) 

r. For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a 
certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. 
(Rom. 15:26.) Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I , have 
given order to the churches of Galatia. even so do ye. (I Cor. 16:1.)

miserably. 24 After his death, the word of 
God prospereth. 

1 'Now about that time Her'od the king 
stretched forth his hands to a vex certain of the 
church. 

2 And he killed Jame§ the brother of John 
with the "sword. 

3 And because he saw it pleased the Jew§, 
he proceeded further to take Pe'ter also. 
(Then were 6 the days of 3 unleavened bread.) 

4 And e when he had apprehended him, he 
put him in prison, and delivered him to four 
quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending 
after Easter to bring him forth to the people. 

5 Pe'ter therefore was kept in prison: but 
prayer was made without ceasing of the church 
unto God for him. 

6 And when Her'od would have brought him 
forth, the same night Pe'ter was sleeping be- 
tween two soldiers, bound with two chains: 
and the keepers before the door kept the prison. 

7 And, behold, d the angel of the Lord came 
upon him, and a light shined in the prison : 
and he smote Pe'ter on the side, and raised him 
up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains 
fell off from his hands. 

8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thy- 
self, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. 
And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment 
about thee, and follow me. 

9 And he went out, and followed him; and 
c wist not that it was true which was done by 
the angel; but thought he saw a vision. 

10 When they were past the first and the 
second Vard, they came unto the iron gate 
that leadeth unto the city; ''which opened to 
them of his own accord: and they went out; 
and passed on through one street; and forth- 
with the angel departed from him. 

11 And when Pe'ter was come to himself, he 
said, Now I know of a surety, that #the Lord 
hath sent his angel, and ''hath delivered me 
out of the hand of Her'od, and from all the 
expectation of the people of the Jew§. 

12 And when he had considered the thing, 
'he came to the house of Ma'ry the mother of 
John, whose surname was Mark; where many 
were gathered together praying. 

13 And as Pe'ter knocked at the door of the 
gate, a damsel came to °hearken, named Rho'da. 

14 And when she knew Pe'ter's voice, she 
opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, 
and told how Pe'ter stood before the gate. 

15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. 
But she constantly affirmed that it was even 
so. Then said they, •'It is his angel.

16 But Pe'ter continued knocking: and when 
they had opened the door, and saw him, they 
were astonished. 

17 But he, beckoning unto them with the 
hand to hold their peace, declared unto them 
how the Lord had brought him out of the 
prison. _ And he said, Go shew these things 
unto Jame§, and to the brethren. And he de- 
parted, and went into another place. 

18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no 
small stir among the soldiers, what was be- 
come of Pe'ter. 

19 And when Her'od had sought for him, 
and found him not, he examined the keepers, 
and commanded that they should be put to 
death. And he went down from Ju-das'a to 
Cass-a-re'a, and there abode. 

20 If And_ Her'od was highly displeased with 
them of Tyre and Si'don: but they came with 
one accord to him, and, having made Blas'tus 
the king's chamberlain their friend, desired 
peace; because their '''country was nourished 
by the king's country. 

21 And upon a set day Her'od, arrayed in 
royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made 
an oration unto them. 

22 And the people gave a shout, saying, 'It 
is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 

23 And immediately the angel of the Lord 
"'smote him, because he gave not God the 
glory: and he was eaten of "worms, and gave 
up the ghost. 

24 11 But "the word of God grew and multi- 
plied. 

25 And Bar'na-bas and Saul returned from 
Je-ru'sa-lem, when they had fulfilled their min- 
istry, and °took with them John, whose sur- 
name was Mark. 

CHAPTER 13. 
1 Paul and Barnabas go to the Gentiles. 7 Of 
Sergius Paulus, and Elymas the sorcerer. 
14 Paul preacheth at Antioch, that Jesus is 
Christ. 42 The Gentiles believe: 45 but 
the Jews gainsay and blaspheme : 46 where- 
upon they turn to the Gentiles. 48 As many 
as were ordained to life believed. 

1 Now there were in the church that was at 
An'ti-och certain prophets and teachers; as 
"Bar'na-bas, and Sim'e-on that was called 'Ni'- 
ger, and Lu'cius of Gy-re'ne, and Man'a-en, 
which had been brought up with Her'od the 
tetrarch, and Saul. 

2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, 
the Ho'ly Ghost said, Separate me 6 Bar'na-bas 



elder, and a witness of the suffering of Christ, and also a partaker 
of the glory that shall be revealed. (I Pet. 5:1.) 
Chapter 12. 

a. But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to the coun- 
cils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. (Mat. 10:17.) 

b. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall 
keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generation; ye shall keep 
it a feast by an ordinance for ever. (Ex. 12:14.) 

c. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou 
girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou 
shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall 
gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. (Jno. 21:18.) 

d. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and 
brought them forth, and said. (Acts 5:19.) Are they not all minister- 
ing spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salva- 
tion? (Heb. 1:14.) 

e. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like 
them that dream. (Ps. 126:1.) 

f. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they east 
them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely. (Acts 16:23.) 

g. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear 
him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 3-4:7.) 

h. He shall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall 
no evil touch thee. (Job 5:19.) Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon 
them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver 
their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. (Ps. 33:18, 
19.) Ye that love the Lord hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his 
saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. (Ps. 97:10.) 

i. And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported 
all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. (Acts 4:23.) 

j. The Angel which redeemed nis from all evil, bless the lads; and 
let my name be named on them, and i.he name of my fathers Abraham 
and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the 
earth. (Gen. 48:16.) 



k. My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the 
sea; and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou 
shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and 
thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in 
giving food for my household (9). And Solomon gave Hiram twenty 
thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty 
measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. (I 
Ks. 5:9, 11.) Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: 
they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, 
and oil, and balm. (Bz. 27:17.) 

1. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lust; 
and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons 
in admiration because of advantage. (Jude 16.) 

m. And it came to pass about ten days after, that the Lord smote 
Nabal, that he died. (I Sam. 25:38.) And David spake unto the Lord, 
when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have 
sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they 
done? Let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my 
father's house. (II Sam. 24:17.) 

n. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall 
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, 
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Is. 55:11.) 

o. And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose sur- 
name was Mark. (Acts 15:37.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church 
which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should 
go as far as Antioch. (Acts 11:22.) 

b. Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children 
of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine. (Num. 8:14.) But when it 
pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called 
me by his grace. (Gal. 1:15.) And when James, Cephas, and John, 
who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, 
they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we

and Saul for the work e whereunto I have called 
them. 

3 And when they had fasted and prayed, 
and laid their hands on them, they sent them 
away. 

4 H So they, being sent forth by the Ho'ly 
Ghost, departed unto Se-leu'ci-a; and from 
thence the} 7 sailed to Cyprus. 

5 And when they were at Sal'a-mis, they 
preached the word of God in the synagogues 
of the Jews: and they had also 2 J6hn to their 
minister. 

6 And when they had gone through the isle 
unto Pa'phos, they found a certain sorcerer, a 
false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar- 
je'sus: 

7 Which was with the deputy of the country, 
Ser'gl-us Pau'lus, a prudent man; who called 
for Bar'na-bas and Saul, and desired to hear 
the word of God. 

8 But *El'y-mas the sorcerer (for so is his 
name by interpretation) withstood them, seek- 
ing to turn away the deputy from the faith. 

9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) 
filled with the Ho'ly Ghost, set his eyes on 
him, 

10 And said, full of all subtilty and all 
mischief, c thou child of the devil, thou enemy 
of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to 
pervert the right ways of the Lord? 

11 And now, behold, ''the hand of the Lord ishment. 
s is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not 
seeing the sun for a season. And immediately 
there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and 
he went about seeking some to lead him by the 
hand. 

12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was 
done, believed, being astonished at the doc- 
trine of the Lord. 

13 Now when Paul and his company loosed 
from Pa'phos, they came to Per'ga in Pam'- 
phyl'i-a: and John -"departing from them re- 
turned to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14 r But when they departed from Per'ga, 
they came to An'ti-och in Pi-sid'i-a, and went 
into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat 
down. 

1 5 And ''after the reading of the law and the 
prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto 
them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have 
any word of exhortation for the people, say on. 

16 "Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with 
his hand said, Men of Is'ra-el, and ye that fear 
God, give audience. 

17 The God of this people of is'ra-el chose 
our fathers, and exalted the peoplewiien they 
dwelt as strangers in the land of E'gypt, and 
with an high arm brought he them out of it. 

18 And about the time of forty years suf- 
fered he their manners in the wilderness.

I tions in the land of Cha'naan, he divided their 
land to them by lot. 

20 And after that he gave unto them judges 
about the space of four hundred and fifty 
years, until Sam'u-el the prophet. 

21 And afterward they desired a king: and 
God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a 
man of the tribe of Ben'ja-min, by the space 
of forty years. 

22 And when he had removed him, he raised 
up unto them Da'vid to be their king; to whom 
also he gave testimony, and said, I have found 
Da'vid the son of Jes'se, a man after mine own 
heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 

23 Of 'this man's seed hath God according 
to 'his promise raised unto Is'ra-el k a Saviour, 
Je'§us: 

24 When John had first preached before his 
coming the baptism of repentance to all the 
people of Is'ra-el. 

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, 
Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, 
behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes 
of his feet I am not worthy to loose. 

26 Men and brethren, children of the stock 
of A'bra-ham, and whosoever among you fear- 
eth God, to you is the word of this salvation 
sent. 

27 For they that dwell at Je-ru'sa-lem, and 
their rulers, 'because they knew him not, nor 
yet the voices of the prophets which are read 
every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in 
condemning him. 

28 And though they found no cause of death 
in him, yet desired they Pi'late that he should 
be slain. 

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was 
written of him, they took him down from the 
tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. 

30 But God raised him from the dead: 

31 And he was seen many days of them 
which came up with him from Gal i-lee to Je- 
ru'sa-lem, who are his witnesses unto the 
people. 

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, 
how that the promise which was made unto the 
fathers, 

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their 
children, in that he hath raised up Je'sus 
again; as it is also written in the second 
psalm, "'Thou art my Son, this day have I 
begotten thee. 

34 And as concerning that he raised him up 
from the dead, now no more to return to cor- 
ruption, he said on this wise, I will give you 
the sure "mercies of Da'vid. 

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, 
°Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see 
corruption. 

36 For Da'vid, ^after he had served his own 
generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, 



should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. (Gal. 
2:9.) 

c. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send 
forth laborers into his harvest. (Mat. 9:38.) And how shall they 
preach except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the 
feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings 
cf good things! (Rom. 10:15.) Whereof I was made a minister, ac- 
cording to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual 
working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all 
saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles 
the unsearchable riches of Christ. (Eph. 3:7. S.) And no man taketh 
this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 
(Heb. 5:4.) 

d. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also 
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 
ill Tim. 3:8.) 

e. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the 
kingdom: but the tares ore the children of the wicked one. (Mat. 

18.) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father 
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in 
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, 
he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (Jno. 
i He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth 
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, 
that he might, destroy the works of the devil. (I Jno. 3:8.) 

f. Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the 
upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, 

and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. (Ex. 9:3.) 
And when they came down to him, Elis'ha prayed unto the Lord, and 



said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote 
them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. (II Ks. 6:18.) 

g. But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who de- 
parted from them from Pamphvlia, and went not with them to the 
work. (Acts 15:38.) 

h. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, 
as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, 
and stood up for to read. (Lu. 4:16.) 

i. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of 
the seed of David according to the flesh. (Rom. 1:3.) 

j. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy 
fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of 
thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. (II Sam. 7:12.) 

k. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall 
come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from 
Jacob. (Rom. 11:26.) 

1. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they 
known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (I Cor. 2:8.) 

m. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou 
art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Ps. 2:7.) So also Christ 
glorified not himself to be made an High Priest; but he that said unto 
him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee. (Heb. 5:5.) 

n. Inoline your ear, and come onto me: hear, and your soul. 
snail live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even 
the sure mercies of David. (Is. 55:3.) 

o. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell: neither wilt thou 
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.)

guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. (Ps. 78:72.)

and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corrup- 
tion: 

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no 
corruption. 

38 If Be it known unto you therefore, men 
and brethren, that ^through this man is 
preached unto you the forgiveness of sins : 

39 And 'by him all that believe are justified 
from all things, from which ye could not be 
justified by the law of M6'§e§. 

40 Beware 'therefore, lest that come upon 
you, which is spoken of in s the prophets; 

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and 
perish : for I work a work in your days, a work 
which ye shall in no wise believe, though a 
man declare it unto you. 

42 And when the Jew§ were °gone out of 
the synagogue, the Gen'tile§ besought that 
these words might be preached to them the 
next sabbath. 

43 Now when the congregation was broken 
up, many of the Jews, and religious proselytes 
followed Paul and Bar'na-bas: who, speaking 
to them, persuaded them to continue in 'the 
grace of God. 

44 If And the next sabbath day came almost 
the whole city together to hear the word of 
God. 

45 But when the Jew§ saw the multitudes, 
they were filled with envy, and spake against 
those things which were spoken by Paul,. con- 
tradicting and blaspheming. 

46 Then Paul and Bar'na-bas waxed bold, 
and said, "It was necessary that the word of 
God should first have been spoken to you : but 
'seeing ye put it from you, and judge your- 
selves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn 
to the Gen'tile§. 

47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, say- 
ing, U 'I have set thee to be a light of the Gen'- 
tiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto 
the ends of the earth. 

48 And when the Gen'tiles heard this, they 
were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord : 
; r and as many as were ordained to eternal life

1. In vs. 1-5 is an account of 
Paul's preachings at Iconium. 



2. In vs. 6-1S is an account of 
Paul and Barnabas at Lystra. While 
there, Paul healed a cripple, which 
causes the people to exclaim, "The 
gods are among us!" Therefore they 
desire to offer a sacrifice unto him, 
but he dissuades them from doing 
so, they turn against him and stone 
htm, leaving him for dead. 



Bar'na-bas, and expelled them out of their 
coasts. 

51 But -they shook off the dust of their feet 
against them, and came unto I-co'ni-um. 

52 And the disciples aa were filled with joy, 
and with the Ho'ly Ghost. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Paul and Barnabas are persecuted. 8 At 
Lystra Paul healeth a cripple, 19 and is 
stoned. 26 At Antioch, the disciples report 
tvhat God had done. 

1 'And it came to pass in I-c5'ni-um, that 
they went both together into the synagogue of 
the Jew§, and so spake, that a great "multi- 
tude both of the Jew§ and also of the Greeks 
believed. 

2 But the unbelieving Jew§ stirred up the 
Gen'tile§, and made their minds evil affected 
against the brethren. 

3 Long time therefore abode they speaking 
boldly in the Lord, which 6 gave testimony unto 
the word of his grace, and granted signs and 
wonders to be done by their hands. 

4 But the multitude of the city was divided : 
and part held with the Jew§, and part with 
the apostles. 

5 And when there was an assault made both 
of the Gen'tiles, and also of the Jew§ with 
their rulers, to use c them despitefully, and to 
stone them, 

6 2 They were ware of it, and rf fled unto Lys'- 
tra and Der'be, cities of Lyc-a-5'ni-a, and unto 
the region that lieth round about : 

7 And there they preached the gospel. 

8 If And there sat a certain man at Lys'tra, 
impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his 
mother's womb, who never had walked: 

9 The same heard Paul speak: who sted- 
fastly beholding him, and perceiving that he 
had faith to be healed, 

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on 
thy feet. And he leaped and walked. 

11 And when the people saw what Paul had 
done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the 
speech of Lyc-a-6'ni-a, c The gods are come 
down to us in the likeness of men. 

12 And they called Bar'na-bas, Ju'pi-ter; 
and Paul, Mer-cu'ri-us, because he was the 
chief speaker. 

13 Then the priest of Ju'pi-ter, which was 
before their city, brought oxen and garlands 



q. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and 
every man his brother, saying. Know the Lord: for they shall all 
know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the 
Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin 
no more. (Jer. 31:34.) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, 
and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an 
end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in 
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and 
to anoint the Most Holy. (Dan. 9:24.) In whom we have redemption 
through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. (Col. 1:14.) 

r. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: 
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he 
shall bear their iniquities. (Is. 53:11.) Behold, his soul which is lifted 
up is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith. (Hab. 
2:4.) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justi- 
fied in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin (20). There- 
fore we concluded that a man is justified by faith without the deeds 
of the law. (Rom. 3:20, 28.) 

s. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among 
this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of 
their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent 
men shall be hid. (Is. 29:14.) 

t. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to 
all men. (Tit. 2:11.) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace 
of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and 
thereby many be defiled. (Heb. 12:15.) 

u. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the 
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew 
first, and also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16.) 

v. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against 
them, and that I may consume them, and I will make of thee a great 
nation. (Ex. 32:10.) They have moved me to jealousy with that which 
is not God; they have provoked me to -anger with their vanities: and 
I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I 
will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. (Dt. 32:21.) There- 
fore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, 
and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Mat. 21:43.) 
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses said, I will provoke you 
to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will 
anger you. (Rom. 10:19.) 



w. I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold 
thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant to the 
people, for a light' of the Gentiles. (Is. 42:6.) And he said, It is a light 
thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of 
Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee 
for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the 
end of the earth. (Is. 49:6.) 

x. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this 
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that 
nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (II Tim. 2:19.) 

y. Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at 
Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all 
the Lord delivered me. (II Tim. 3:11.) 

z. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that 
city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against 
them. (Lu. 9:5.) 

aa. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in 
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 
(Mat. 5:12.) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye 
see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of 
glory. (I Pet. 1:8.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set 
his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, 
which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, 
and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, 
and from the islands of the sea. (Is. 11:11.) 

b. Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man 
that he was Jesus the Christ. (Mat. 16:20.) 

c. Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at 
Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all 
the Lord delivered me. (II Tim. 3:11.) 

d. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: 
for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of 
Israel, till the Son of man be come. (Mat. 10:23.) 

e. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen 
down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw 
no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was 
a god. (Acts 28:6.)

unto the gates, and fwould have done sacrifice 
with the people. 

14 Which when the apostles, Bar'na-bas and 
Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and 
ran in among the people, crying out, 

15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? 
-"We also are men of like passions wdth you, 
and preach unto you that ye should turn from 
'■these vanities unto the living God, which made 
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things 
that are therein : 

16 "Who in times past suffered all nations to 
walk in their own ways. 

17 Nevertheless 'he left not himself without 
witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain 
from heaven, and -'fruitful seasons, filling our 
hearts with food and gladness. 

18 And with these sayings scarce restrained 
they the people, that they had not done sacri- 
fice unto them. 

19 r And '"there came thither certain Jews 
from An'ti-och and I-co'ni-um, wmo persuaded 
the people, and, having stoned 4 Paul, drew him j 
out of the city, supposing 'he had been dead. 

20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round 
about him, he rose 5 up, and came into the city: 
and the next day he departed with Bar'na-bas 
to Der'be. 

21 And when they had preached the gospel 
to that city, and had taught many, they re- 1 
turned again to Lys'tra, and to I-co'ni-um, and 
An'ti-och, 

22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and 
exhorting them to continue in the faith, and 
that we must "'through much tribulation enter 
into the kingdom of God. 

23 And when they had ordained them elders 
in every church, and had prayed with fasting, 
they commended them to the Lord, on whom 
they believed. 

24 And after they had passed throughout 
Pi-sid'i-a, they came to Pam-phyl'i-a. 

25 And when they had preached the word 
in Per'ga, they went down into At-ta'li-a: 

26 And thence sailed to 6 An'ti-och, from 
whence "they had been recommended to the 
grace of God for the work which they ful- 
filled. 

27 And when they were come, and had gath- 
ered the church together, they rehearsed all 
that God had done with them, and how he had 
"opened the door of faith unto the Gen'tiles. 

28 And there they abode long time with the 
disciples. 



3. In ts. 19-28 Paul is rescued 
from death and goes back to ADti- 
oeh. 



4. Xot necessarily the execution 
of the Jewish law. but the renting 
of the wrath of a fiendish mob. 



5. Came to life; he had been 
beaten into insensibility which the 
mob mistook for death. 



6. Paul and Barnabas, having 
now come back to Antioeh. have 
completed the first missionary jour- 
ney. 



Ch. 15. A. D. 51, 52. 



1. In vs. 1-35 is a record of the 
council at Jerusalem which has met 
to decide the advisability of forcing 
circumcision on the Gentile converts. 



2. Paul's third visit to Jerusalem 
after his conversion. While there 
this time occurred the events record- 
ed in Gal. 2:1-10. 



3. In vs. 7-11 Peter addresses the 
council. 



4. In this verse Peter declares 
the central thought of religion to be 
the purifying of the heart, which 
he says Christ is now doing for his 
followers without circumcision — 
therefore why have circumcision at 
all? 



5. Why do you wish to test or 
to try the forbearance of God. by 
making exactions and requirements 
which he does not? 



6. In vs. 13-21 is the record of 
the speech of James. 



CHAPTER 15. 
1 Dissension ariseth touching circumcision. 6 
The apostles consult about it, 22 and send 
their determination by letter to the churches. 
36 Paul and Barnabas fall at strife, and de- 
part asunder. 

1 'And "certain men which came down frorr. 
Ju-dasa taught the brethren, and said, 6 Ex- 
cept ye be circumcised after the manner of 
Mo'ses, ye cannot be saved. 

2 When therefore Paul and Bar'na-bas had 
no small dissension and disputation with them, 
they determined that Paul and Bar'na-bas, and 
certain other of them, should go up to Je-ru'- 
sa-lem unto the apostles and elders about tlii: 
question. 

3 And 'being brought on their way by the 
church, they passed through Phe-ni'ce and Sa- 
ma'ri-a, declaring the ,J conversion of the Gen'- 
tiles: and they caused great joy unto all the 
brethren. 

4 And when they were come to 2 Je-ru'sa- 
lem, they were received of the church, and of 
the apostles and elders, and they declared all 
things that God had done with them. 

5 But there rose up certain of the sect of 
the Phar i-sees which believed, saying, That it 
was needful to circumcise them, and to com- 
mand them to keep the law of Mo'ses. 

6 r And the apostles and elders came to- 
gether for to consider of this matter. 

7 "And when there had been much disputing, 
Pe'ter rose up, and said unto them, Men and 
brethren, ye know how that a good while ago 
God made choice among us, that the Gen'tiles 
by my mouth should hear the word of the gos- 
pel, and believe. 

8 And God, r which knoweth the hearts, bare 
them witness, ^giving them the Ho'ly Ghost, 
even as he did unto us; 

9 And put no difference betw T een us and 
them, ""purifying -"their hearts by faith. 

10 Now therefore why "tempt ye God, Ho 
put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which 
neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 

11 But 'we believe that through the grace 
of the Lord Je'sus Christ we shall be saved, 
even as they. 

12 If Then all the multitude kept silence, and 
gave audience to Bar'na-bas and Paul, declar- 
ing what miracles and wonders God had 
wrought among the Gen'tiles by them. 

13 *~ "And after they had -held their peace, 



f. Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and wor- 
shipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and 
sweet odors unto him. (Dan. 2:46.) 

g. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he 
prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it rained not on the 
earth by the space of three years and six months. (Js. 5:L.) And I 
fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it 
not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testi- 
mony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit 
of prophecy. (Rev. 19:10.) 

h. And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, 
which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. (I Sam. 12:21.) 

i. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world 
are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even 
his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. (Rom. 
1:20.) 

j. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do 
them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall 
yield her increase, &nd the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 
(Lev. 26:3, 4.) Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters 
upon the fields. (Job 5:10.) 

k. See ch. 13:45. 

1. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble 
which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above 
strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life. (II Cor. 1:8.) 

m. And he (hat taketh.not his cross, and followeth after me, is 
not worthy of me. (Mat. 10:38.) And if children, then heirs; heirs 
of God, and joint-heirs with Christ: if- so be that we suffer with him, 
that we may be also glorified together. (Rom. 8:17.) 

n. Now there were in the church that was at Antioeh certain 
prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was railed Niger, 
and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with 
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul (1). And when they had fasted and 
prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. (Acts 
13:1, ■■',.) 

o. Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, 
and a door was opened unto me of the Lord. (II Cor. 2:12.) 



Chapter 15. 

a. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the 
Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated him- 
self, fearing them which were of the circumcision. (Gal. 2:12.) 

h. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised. Christ 
shall profit you nothing. (Gal. 5:2.) Beware of dogs, beware of evil 
workers, beware of the concision. (Phil. 3:2.) 

c. Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: 
for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way 
thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with vour companv. 
(Rom. 15:24.) 

d. See ch. 14:27. 

e. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind; for the 
Lord seareheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of 
(he thoughts: if thou seek him, he will.be found of thee; but if thou 
forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (I Chr. 28:9.) I the Lord 
search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according 
to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 17:10.) 
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all 
things are naked and opened unto the eves of him with whom we have 
to do. (Heb. 4:13 ) 

f. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all 
them which heard the word. (Acts 10:44.) 

g. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name 
whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43.) 
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanc- 
tified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place 
call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours. 
(I Cor. 1:2.) 

h. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay 
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them 
with one of their fingers. (Mat. 23:4.) Stand fast therefore in the 
liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again 
with the yoke of bondage. (Gal. 5:1.) 

i. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that 
is in Christ Jesus. (Rom. 3:24.) In whom we have redemption through 
his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

THE ACTS

JJame§ answered, saying, Men and brethren, 
hearken unto me: 

14 Sim'e-on hath declared how God at the 
first did visit the Gen'tile§, to take out of them 
a people for his name. 

15 And to this agree the l "words of the 
prophets; as it is written, 

16 After 'this I will return, and will build 
again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen 
down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, 
and I will set it up : 

17 That the residue of men might .seek after 
the Lord, and all the Gen'tiles, upon whom my 
name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all 
these things. 

18 Known unto God are all his works from 
the beginning of the world. 

19 Wherefore my Sentence is, that we trou- 
ble not them, which from among the Gen'tile§ 
are turned to God: 

20 But that we write unto them, that they 
abstain '"from pollutions of idols, and "from 
"fornication, and from 3 things strangled, "and 
from blood. 

21 For M6'se§ of old time hath in every city 
them that preach him, being read in the syna- 
gogues every sabbath day. 

22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, 
with the whole church, to send chosen men of 
their own company to An'ti-och with Paul and 
Bar'na-bas; namely, Ju'das surnamed JBar'sa- - 
bas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren : 

23 And they wrote '"letters by them after 
this manner; The apostles and elders and 
brethren send greeting unto the brethren 
which are of the Gen'tiles. in An'ti-och and 
Syr'i-a and Ci-li'cia: 

24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that cer- 
tain ^which went out from us have troubled 
you with words, subverting your souls, saying, 
Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to 
whom we gave no such commandment: 

25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled 
with one accord, to send chosen men unto you 
with our beloved Bar'na-bas and Paul, 

26 'Men that have hazarded their lives for 
the name of our Lord Je'§us Christ. 

27 We have sent therefore Ju'das and Sl'las, 
who shall also tell you the same things by 
mouth. 

28 For it seemed good to the s Ho'ly Ghost,

S. The common and unrestrained

9. That is, which had the blood 
In them. 1 



10. The first mention in the New- 
Testament of using writing as a 
means of assisting the early apostles 
and disciples In spreading the Gospel. 



11. In vs. 36-41 is an account of 
the contention between Paul and 
Barnabas, and their separation, over 
John Mark, who had been somewhat 
wavering in his devotion to the 
cause. Paul selects Silas and starts 
on his second missionary journey, 
while Barnabas took Mark and sailed 
to Cyprus. 



Ch. 16. A. D. 53. 



1. In this ch. is the account of 
Paul's entrance upon his second mis- 
sionary journey, visiting and encour- 
aging the churches heretofore estab- 
lished. On this journey Timothy is 
called to be a disciple and joins the 
party. 



and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden 
than these necessary things; 

29 That 'ye abstain from meats offered to 
idols, and "from blood, s and from things 'stran- 
gled, and from fornication: from which if ye 
keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye 
well. 

30 So when they were dismissed, they came 
to An'ti-och: and when they had gathered 
the multitude together, they delivered the 
epistle : 

31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced 
for the consolation. 

32 And Ju'das and Sl'las, being "prophets 
also themselves, "exhorted the brethren with 
many words, and confirmed them. 

33 And after they had tarried there a space, 
they were let ^go in peace from the brethren 
unto the apostles 

34 Notwithstanding it pleased Si'las to abide 
there still. 

35 yPaul also and Bar'na-bas continued in 
An'ti-och, teaching and preaching the word of 
the Lord, with many others also. 

36 If "And some days after Paul said unto 
Bar'na-bas, Let us go again and visit our 
brethren ~1n every city where we have preached 
the word of the Lord, and see how they do. 

37 And Bar'na-bas determined to take with 
them aa John, whose surname was Mark. 

38 But Paul thought not good to take him 
with them, who departed from them from 
Pam-phyl'i-a, and went not with them to the 
work. 

39 And the contention was so sharp between 
them, that they departed asunder one from 
the other: and so Bar'na-bas took Mark, and 
sailed unto Cy'prus; 

40 And Paul chose Sl'las, and departed, be- 
ing recommended by the brethren unto the 
grace of God. 

41 And he went through Syr'i-a and Ci-li'- 
cia, confirming the churches. 

CHAPTER 16. 

1 Paul having circumcised Timothy, 7 and 
being called by the Spirit from one country 
to another, 14 converteth Lydia. 16 He 
casteth out a spirit of divination. 19 He 
and Silas are whipped and imprisoned. 26 
The prison doors are opened. 
1 Then 'came he to "Der'be and Lys'tra: 



(Eph. 1:7.) For by grace are 3 T e saved through faith; and that not of 
yourselves: it is the gilt of God. (Eph. 2:s.) 

j. But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, 
declared unto them hew the Lord had brought him out of the prison. 
And he said, Go show these things unto James, and to the brethren. 
And he departed, and went into another place. (Acts 12:17.; 

k. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall 
stand tor an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and 
his rest shall be glorious. (Is. 11:10.) 

1. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, 
and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and 
I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the rem- 
nant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, 
saith the Lord that doeth this. (Amos 9:11, 12.) 

m. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with 
him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and 
change your garments. (Gen. 35:2.) 

n. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom 
of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adul- 
terers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. (I 
Cor. 6:9.) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; 
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and 
covetousness, which is idolatry. (Col. 3:5.) For this is the will of 
God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication. 
(I Thess. 4:3.) 

o. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall 
ye not eat. (Gen. 9:4.) It shall be a perpetual statute for your gen- 
erations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor 
blood. (Lev. 3:17.) 

p. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was sur- 
named Justus, and Matthias. (Acts 1:23.) 

q. I would they were even cut off which trouble you. (Gal. 5:12.) 
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially 
they of the circumcision. (Tit. 1:10.) 

r. But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and 
the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and 
Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. (Acts 13:50.) And 
why stand we in jeopardy every hour? (I Cor. 15:30.) Are they min- 
isters of Christ? (I speak as a fool,) I am more: in labors more 
abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in 
deaths oft. (II Cor. 11:23.) 



s. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide 
you into all truth: for he shall not speak or himself; but whatsoever 
he shall hear, that shall be speak: and he will show you things to 
come. (Jno. 16:13.) 

t. As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and 
concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep 
themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from 
strangled, and from fornication. (Acts 21:25.) 

u. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life 
thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the 
blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood there- 
of: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. (Lev. 17:14.) 

v. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, second- 
arily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of 
healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. (I Cor. 12:28.) 

w. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to 
continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation 
enter into the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22.) 

x. Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in 
peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the breth- 
ren. (I Cor. 16:11.) By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with 
them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 
(Heb. 11:31.) 

y. Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain 
prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, 
and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with 
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. (Acts 13:1.) 

z. And it came to pass in Iconium. that they went both together 
into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude 
both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. (Acts 14:1.) 

aa. And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of 
God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their 
minister. (Acts 13:5.) Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, 
and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received 
commandments: if he come unto you, receive him). (Col. 4:10.) Only 
Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is 
profitable to me for the ministry. (II Tim. 4:11.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of 
Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about. (Acts 14:6.)

THE ACTS 



A. D. 53 



and, behold, a certain disciple was there, 
''named Ti-mo'the-us, the son of a certain wom- 
an, which was a Jew'ess, and believed; but his 
father was a Greek: 

2 Which c was well reported of by the breth- 
ren that were at Lys'tra and I-co'ni-um. 

3 Him would Paul have to go forth with 
him; and d took and circumcised him because 
of the Jews which were in those quarters: for 
they knew all that his father was a Greek. 

4 And as they went through the cities, they 
delivered them the decrees for to keep, c that 
were ordained of the apostles and elders which 
were at Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5 And so f'were the churches established in 
the faith, and increased in number daily. 

6 Now when they had gone throughout 
Phryg'i-a and the region of Ga-la'tia, and were 
forbidden_ of the Ho'ly Ghost to preach the 
word in A'sia, 

7 After they were come to Mys'ia,they as- 
sayed to go into Bi-thyn'i-a: but the Spirit 
suffered them not. 

8 And they passing by Mys'ia came down 
to Tro'as. 

9 And a Vision -"appeared to Paul in the 
night; There stood a man 3 of Mac-e-do'ni-a, 
and prayed him, saying, Come over into Mac-e- 
do'ni-a, and help us. 

10 And after he had seen the Vision, imme- 
diately we endeavoured to go ''into 3 Mac-e- 
do'ni-a, assuredly gathering that the Lord had 
called us for to preach the gospel unto them. 

11 Therefore loosing from 4 Tr6'as, we came 
with a straight course to Sam-o-thra'cia, and 
the next day to Ne-ap'o-lis; 

12 And from thence to = Phi-lip'pi, which is 
the chief city of that part of Mac-e-do'ni-a, 
and a colony: and we were in that city abiding 
certain days. 

13 6 And on the 'sabbath we went out of the 
city by a river side, where prayer was wont 
to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto 
the women which resorted thither. 

14 If And a certain woman named Lyd'i-a. a 
seller of purple, of the city of -'Thy-a-ti ra, 
which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart 
the Lord opened, that she attended unto the 
things which were spoken of Paul. 

15 And when she was baptized, and her 
household, she besought us, saying, ,: If ye have 
judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into

supposed to be a vision, not of sleep 
but of bis waking hours. 



3. An angel calling Paul to Mac- 
edonia. 



4. From this place Paul goes for- 
ward and for the first time lands 
on European soil. 



5. The first or most important 
city of Macedonia.

the founding of the church of Phi-

my house, and abide there. And she con- 
strained us. 

16 K And it came to pass, as we went to 
prayer, a 'certain damsel possessed with a 
spirit of divination met us, which brought her 
masters '"much gain by soothsaying: 

17 The same followed Paul and us, and 
cried, saying, These men are the servants of 
the most high God, which shew unto us the 
way of salvation. 

18 And this did she many days. But Paul, 
,; being grieved, turned and £aid to the spirit, 
I command thee in the name of Je'sus Christ 
to come out of her. °And he came out the 
same hour. 

19 r And Pwhen her masters saw that the 
hope of their gains was gone, they caught 
Paul and Silas, and drew them into the mar- 
ketplace unto the rulers, 

20 And brought them to the magistrates, 
saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly 
trouble our city, 

21 And teach customs, which are not lawful 
for us to receive, neither to observe, being 
Ro'mans. 

22 And the multitude rose up together 
against them: and the magistrates rent off 
their clothes, and ''commanded to beat them. 

'23 And 'when they had laid many stripes 
upon them, they cast them into prison, charg- 
ing the jailor to keep them safely: 

24 Who, having received such a charge, 
thrust them into the inner prison, and made 
their feet fast in the ^stocks. 

25 r And at midnight Paul and Si'las prayed, 
and 'sang praises unto God: and the prisoners 
heard them. 

26 And "suddenly there was a great earth- 
quake, so that the foundations of the prison 
were shaken: and immediately 'all the doors 
were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking 
out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors 
open, he drew out his sword, and would have 
killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had 
been fled. 

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, 
ir Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, 
and came trembling, and fell down before Paul 
and Si'las, 

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, 
what must I do to be saved? 



b. So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto 
him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a sea- 
son. (Acts 19:22.) Timotheus my work-fellow, and Lucius, and Jason, 
and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. (Rom. 16:21.) For this cause 
have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful 
in the Lord, who "shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which 
be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. (I Cor. 4:17.) 

c. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, 
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which 
is in Christ Jesus. (II Tim. 3:15.) 

d. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the 
Jews: to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might 
gain them that are under the law. (I Cor. 9:20.) 

e. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon 
you no greater burden than these necessary things. (Acts 15:28.) 

f. And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. 
(Acts 15:41.) If he continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be 
not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard, 
and which was" preached to every creature which is under heaven; 
whereof I Paul am made a minister. (Col. 1:23.) 

g. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among 
you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and 
will speak unto him in a dream. (Num. 12:6.) 

h. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.. 
(Ps. 119:60.) Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; 
for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the 
grave, whither thou goest. (Ecc. 9:10.) 

i. And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gen- 
tiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next 
sabbath. (Acts 13:42.) 

j. And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These 
things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, 
and his feet are like fine brass. (Rev. 2:1S.) 

k. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, 
especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Gal. 6:10.) 

1. Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me' a woman that hath 
a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his 
Bervant said to him. Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar 
spirit at Endor. (I Sam. 2S:7.) 



m. For a certain man named Demetrius, a silver smith, which 
made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen. 
(Acts 19:24.) 

n. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out 
of him (25). And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, 
and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, be- 
cause they knew him. (Mk. 1:25, 34.) 

o. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name 
shall they cast out devils; the}' shall speak with new tongues. (Mk. 
16:17.) 

p. Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. More- 
over ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost through- 
out all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, 
saying that they be no gods which are made with hands. (Acts 19:25, 
26.) Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose 
glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. (Phil. 3:19.) 

q. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered un- 
to you. That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed 
took bread. (I Cor. 11:23.) 

r. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and per- 
secute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, 
being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. (Lu. 21:12.) 
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which 
is your glory. (Eph. 3:13.) 

s. Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the 
stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house 
of the Lord. (Jer. 20:2.) 

t. Blessed are they w-hich are persecuted for righteousness' sake; 
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when men shall 
revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against 
you falsely, for my sake. (Mat. 5:10,-11.) 

u. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they 
were assembled together: and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 
and they spake the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:31.) 

v. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, 
and brought them forth, and said. (Acts 5:19.) 

w. Thou shalt not kill. (Ex. 20:13.) Whosoever hateth his brother 
is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding 
in him. (I Jno. 3:15.)

31 And they said, J Believe on the Lord Je- 
§us Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy 
house. 

32 And they spake unto him the word of 
the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 

33 And he took them the same hour of the 
night, and washed their stripes; and was bap- 
tized, he and all his, straightway. 

34 And when he had brought them into his 
house, he set meat before them, ^and rejoiced, 
believing in God with all his house. 

35 And when it was day, the magistrates 
sent the Serjeants, saying, Let those men go. 

36 And the keeper of the prison told this 
saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to 
let you go: now therefore depart, and go in 
peace. 

37 But Paul said unto them, They have beat- 
en us openly uncondemned, being R6'man§, and 
have cast us into prison; and now "do they 
thrust us out privily? nay verily; -but let 
them come themselves and fetch us out. 

38 And the Serjeants told these words unto 
the magistrates: and they feared, when they 
heard that they were Ro'man§. 

39 And they came and besought them, and 
brought them out, and desired them to depart 
out of the city. 

40 And they went out of the prison, and 
entered into the house of Lyd'I-a: and when 
they had seen the brethren, they aa comforted 
them, and departed. 

CHAPTER 17. 
1 Paul preacheth at Thessalonica and Berea. 
13 Being persecuted at Thessalonica, 15 he 
cometh to Athens, and preacheth, 34 where- 
by many are converted unto Christ. 

1 'Now when they had passed through Am- 
phlp'o-lis and Ap-61-lo'ni-a, they came to 2 Thes- 
sa-lo-ni'ca, where was a synagogue of the 
Jew§: 

2 And Paul, as his manner was, a went in 
unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned 
with them out of the scriptures, 

3 Opening : 'and alleging, Hhat Christ must 
needs have suffered, and risen again from the 
dead; and that this Je'§us, whom I preach unto 
you, is Christ. 

4 And some of them believed, and 4 consorted 
with Paul and c Si'las; and of the devout 
Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief 
women not a few. 

5 1 But the Jew§ which believed not, moved 
with envy, took unto them certain "lewd fel- 
lows of the baser sort, and gathered a "com- 
pany, and set all the city on an uproar, and 
assaulted the house of Ja'son, and sought to 
bring them out to the people. 

6 And when they found them not, they drew 
Ja'son and certain brethren unto the rulers 
of the city, crying, d These that have turned 
the world upside down are come hither also;

8 And they troubled the people and the 
rulers of the city, when they heard these 
things. 

9 And when they had taken Security of 
Ja'son, and of the other, they let them go. 

10 f s And ''the brethren immediately sent 
away Paul* and Si'las by night unto Be-re'a: 
who coming thither went into the synagogue 
of the Jew§. 

11 These ''were more noble than those in 
Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca, in that they received the word 
with all readiness of mind, and searched #the 
scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 

12 "Therefore many of them believed; also 
of honourable women which were Greeks, and 
of men, not a few. 

13 But when the Jew§ of Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca 
had knowledge that the word of God was 
preached of Paul at ''Be-re'a, they came thither 
also, and stirred up the people. 

14 And 'then immediately the brethren sent 
away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but 
Si'las and Ti-mo'the-us abode there still. 

15 "And_ they that conducted Paul brought 
him unto Ath'en§: and receiving a 'command- 
ment unto Si'las and Ti-mo'the-us for to come 
to him with all speed, they departed. 

16 If Now while Paul waited for them at 
Ath'ens, his spirit was stirred in him, when 
he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 

17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue 
with the Jews, and with the devout persons, 
and in the market daily with them that met 
with him. 

18 Then certain philosophers of the 12 Ep-I- 
cu-re'ans, and of the "Sto'icks, encountered 
him. And some said, What will this babbler 
say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter 
forth of strange gods: because he preached 
unto them Je'§us, and the resurrection. 

19 And they took him, and brought him unto 
14 Ar-e-6p'a-gus, saying, May we know what 
this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 

20 For t-hou bringest certain strange things 
to our ears: we would know therefore what 
these things mean. 

21 (For all the Ath-e'ni-ans and strangers 
which were there spent their time in nothing 
else, but either to tell, or to hear some new 
thing.) 

22 H 15 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' 
hill, and said, Ye men of Ath'en§, I perceive 
that in all things ye are too superstitious. 

23 For as I passed by, and beheld your "de- 
votions, I found an altar with this inscription, 
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore 
ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 

24 God fr that made the world and all things 



x. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for 
I am God, and there is none else. (Is. 45:22.) He that believeth on the 
Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not 
see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (Jno. 3:36.) 

y. By whom also we have access by faith rnto this grace wherein 
we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Rom. 5:2.) 

z. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy 
judgment as the noon-day. (Ps. 37:6.) 

aa. And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our 
fellow-laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort 
you concerning your faith: That no man should be moved by these 
afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. (I 
Thess. 3:2, 3.) 

Chapter 17. 

a. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, 
as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, 
and stood up for to read. (Lu. 4:16.) And straightway he preached 
Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. (Acts 9:20.) 

b. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter 
into his glory? (26). And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus 
it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day. 
(Lu. 24:26, 46.) 

c. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell 
you the same things by mouth (27). And Judas and Silas, being 
prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, 
and confirmed them (32). And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being 



recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. (Acts 
15:27, 32, 40.) 

d. And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said 
unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? (I Ks. 18:17.) 

e. They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live 
for ever. (Dan. 3:9.) 

f. Then the disciples took him by night, and let him dowoi by 
the wall in a basket. (Acts 9:25.) 

g. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read; no one of these 
shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath com- 
manded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. (Is. 34:16.) Search 
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they 
are they which testify of me. (Jno. 5:39.) 

h. Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and 
have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all 
men. (I Thess. 2:15.) 

i. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: 
for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of 
Israel, till the Son of man be come. (Mat. 10:23.) 

j. And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, 
Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus 
was Christ. (Acts 18:5.) 

k. And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men 
of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn 
from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and 
earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein. (Acts 14:15.)

therein, seeing that he is 'Lord of heaven and 
earth, dwelleth not in temples made with 
hands; 

25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, 
'"as though he needed any thing, seeing "he 
giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 

26 And hath made of one blood all nations 
of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, 
and hath determined the times before appoint- 
ed, and "the bounds of their habitation; 

27 That i>they should seek the Lord, if haply 
they might sfeel after him, 'and find him, 
though he be not far from every one of us : 

28 For in him we live, and move, and have 
our being; as certain also of your own poets 
have said, For we are also his offspring. 

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring 
of God, we ought not to think that the God- 
head is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, gra- 
ven by art and man's device. 

30 And s the times of this ignorance God 
"winked at; but 'now 15 commandeth all men 
every where to repent:

which "he will judge the world in righteous- 
ness by that man whom he hath ordained; 
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, 
in that he hath raised him from the dead. 

32 11 And when they heard of the resurrec- 
tion of the dead, some mocked : and others said, 
We will hear thee again of this matter.

blasphemed, c he shook his raiment, and said 
unto them, d Your blood be 2 upon your own 
heads ; I "am clean : from 'henceforth I will go 
unto the Gen'tiles. 

7 r And he departed thence, and entered into 
a certain man's house, named Jus'tus, one that 
worshipped God, whose house joined hard to 
the synagogue. 

8 And Cris'pus, the chief ruler of the syna- 
gogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; 
and many of the Co-rin'thi-ans hearing be- 
lieved, and were baptized. 

9 Then -'spake the Lord to Paul in the night 
by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold 
not thy peace: 

10 For h I am with thee, and no man shall 
set on thee to hurt thee: d for I have much 
people in this city. 

11 And he continued there a year and six 
months, teaching the word of God among 
them. 

12 r And when Gal'li-o was the deputy of 
A-cha'ia, the Jews made insurrection with one 
accord against Paul, and brought him to the 
judgment seat, 

13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to 
worship God contrary to the law. 

14 And when Paul was now about to open 
his mouth, Gal'li-o said unto the Jews, 'If it 
were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, 
ye Jews, reason would that I should bear 
with you: 

15 But if it be a question of words and 
names, and of your law, look ye to it ; for I will 
be no judge of such matters. 

16 And he drave them from the judgment 
seat. 

17 Then all the Greeks took Sos'the-nes, the 
chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him 



1. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee. Father, 
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from 
the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Mat. 
11:25.) Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love "them, and 
he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is 
this day. (Dt. 10:15.) The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's; 
but the" earth hath he given to the children of men. (Ps. 115:16.) 

m. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offer- 
ings, to have been continually before me. (Ps. 50:S.) 

n. And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the 
spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou he wroth with 
all the congregation? (Num. 16:22.) Thus saith God the Lord, he that 
created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the 
earth, and that which cometh out of it: he that giveth breath unto 
the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein. (Is. 42:5.) 
The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which 
stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, 
and formeth the spirit of man within him. (Zech. 12:1.) For of him, 
and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for 
ever. Amen. (Rom. 11:36.) 

o. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, 
when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people 
according to the number of the children of Israel. (Dt. 32:8.) 

p. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world 
are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even 
his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. 
(Rom. 1:20.) 

q. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven, 
and heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee: how much less this house 
that I have builded! (I Ks. S:27.) Can any hide himself in secret 
places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord: do not I fill heaven 
and earth? saith the Lord. (Jer. 23:24.) 

r. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 
(Col. 1:17.) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express 
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his 
power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the 
right hand of the Majesty on high. (Heb. 1:3.) 

s. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in 
his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that 
are past, through the forbearance of God. (Rom. 3:25.) 

t. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached 
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Lu. 24:47.) 

u. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus 
Christ according to my gospel. (Rom. 2:16.) 



v. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant 
according to the election of grace. (Rom. 11:5.) 
Chapter IS. 

a. And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we 
bless; being persecuted, we suffer it. (I Cor. 4:12.) For ye remember, 
brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because 
we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you 
the gospel of God. (I Thess. 2:9.) 

b. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to 
the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. (I Pet. 4:4.) 

c. Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man 
from his house, and from his labor, that performeth not this promise, 
even thus he he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation 
said, Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people did according to 
this promise. (Neh. 5:13.) 

d. For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be 
surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his 
blood shall be upon him. (Lev. 20:9.) Then whosoever heareth the 
sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come and 
take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. (Ez. 33:4.) 

e. When I say unto the wicked. Thou shalt surely die: and thou 
givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his 
wicked way, to save his life: the same wicked man shall die in his 
iniquity: but his blood will I require at thine hand. (Ez. 3:1S.) Nev- 
ertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he 
do not turn from his wav. he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast 
delivered thy soul. (Ez. 33:9.) 

f. Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is 
sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. (Acts 28:28.) 

g. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and 
show mv people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 
(Is. 5S:l.r 

h. Fear thou not: for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am 
thy God: I will strengthen thee: yea, I will help thee; yea, I will 
uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Is. 41:10.) 
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded 
you: and. lo, I am with y.ou alway, even unto the end of the world. 
Amen. (Mat. 2S:20.) What shall we then say to these things? If God 
be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. S:31.) 

i. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this 
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that 
nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (II Tim. 2:19.) 

j. Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but 
to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. (Acts 
23:29.)

before the judgment seat. And Gal'li-5 cared 
for none of those things. 

18 U 4 And Paul after this tarried there yet 
a good while and then took his leave of the 
brethren, and sailed thence into Syr'i-a, and 
with him Pris-cll'la and Aq'ui-la; having shorn 
;: his head in Qen'chre-a: for he had a vow. 

19 And he came to Eph'e-sus, and left them 
there: but he himself entered into the syna- 
gogue, and reasoned with the Jew§. 

20 When they desired him to tarry longer 
time with them, he consented not; 

21 But bade them farewell, saying, 'I must 
by all means keep this feast that cometh in 
Je-ru'sa-lem: but I will return again unto you, 
"'if God will. And he sailed from Eph'e-sus. 

22 And wmen he had landed at Gtes-a-re'a, 
and gone up, and saluted the church, he went 
Mown to An'ti-och. 

23 And after he had spent some time there, 
he departed, and went over all the country of 
"Ga-la'tia and Phryg'i-a in order, strengthen- 
ing "all the disciples. 

24 % And a ^certain Jew named A-pol'los. 
born at Al-ex-an'dii-a, an eloquent man, and 
mighty in the scriptures, came to Eph'e-sus. 

25 This man was instructed in the way of 
the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he 
spake and taught diligently the things of the 
Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 

26 And he began to speak boldly in the 
synagogue: whom when Aq'ui-la and Pris-cilTa 
had heard, they took him unto them, and ex- 
pounded unto him the way of God more per- 
fectly. 

27 And when he was disposed to pass into 
A-cha'ia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the 
disciples to receive him: who, when he was 
come, helped them much which had believed 
through grace: 

28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and 
that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that 
Je'sus was Christ.

the upper coasts came to Eph'e-sus: and find-

have delegated unto them the power

2 He said unto them, Have ye received the 
Ho'ly Ghost since ye believed? And they said 
unto him, We have not so much as heard 
whether there be any Ho'ly Ghdst. 

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then 
were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's 
baptism. 

4 Then said Paul, "John verily baptized with 
the baptism of repentance, saying unto the peo- 
ple, that they should believe on him which 
should come after him, that is, on Christ Je'- 
sus. 

5 When they heard this, they were baptized 
6 in the name of the Lord Je'§us. 

6 And when Paul had "laid his hands upon 
them, the Ho'ly Ghost came on them ; and d they 
spake with tongues, and prophesied. 

7 And all the men were about twelve. 

8 2 And he e went into the synagogue, and 
spake boldly for the space of three months, 
disputing and persuading the things ^concern- 
ing the kingdom of God. 

9 But ^when 3 divers were hardened, and be- 
lieved not, but spake evil of that way before 
the multitude, he departed from them, and 
separated the disciples, disputing daily in the 
school of one Ty-ran'nus. 

10 And ''this continued by the space of two 
years; so that all they which dwelt in A'§ia 
heard the word of the Lord Je'§us, both Jew§ 
and Greeks. 

11 And 'God wrought special miracles by 
the hands of Paul: 

12 So that from his body were brought unto 
the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the dis- 
eases departed from them, and the evil spirits 
went out of them. 

13 11 Then certain of the vagabond Jew§, 
4 exorcists, •'took upon them to call over them 
which had evil spirits the name of the Lord 
Je'sus, saying, We adjure you by Je'sus whom 
Paul preacheth. 

14 And there were seven sons of one Sce'va, 
a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, 
Je'§us I know, and Paul I know; but who 
are ye? 

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was 
leaped on them, and overcame them, and pre- 
vailed against them, so that they fled out of 
that house naked and wounded. 

17 And this was known to all the Jew§ and 
Greeks also dwelling at Eph'e-sus; and A 'fear 



k. And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the 
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair 
of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under 
the sacrifice of the peace offerings. (Num. 6:18.) And Israel smote 
him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon 
unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Amnion: for the border of the 
children of Ammon was strong. (Num. 21:24.) And unto the Jews 
I became a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under 
the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under 
the law. (I Cor. 9:20.) 

1. After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, 
when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jeru- 
salem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. (Acts 
19:21.) 

m. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, 
not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. (I Cor. 
4:19.) And this will we do, if God permit. (Heb. 6:3.) For that ye 
ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. (Js. 
4:15.) 

n. And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of 
Galatia. (Gal. 1:2.) And my temptation which was in my flesh ye 
despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even 
as Christ Jesus. (Gal. 4:14.) 

o. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 
(Is. 35:3.) And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and 
our fellow-laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to 
comfort you concerning your faith (2). To the end he may stablish 
your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at 
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. (I Thess. 
3:2, 13.) 

p. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and 
I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. (I Cor. 1:12.) And 
these things, brethren, 1 have in a figure transferred to myself and to 
Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men 
above that which is written, that no one of vou be puffed up for one 
against another. (I Cor. 4:6.) Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos 
on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. (Tit. 



Chapter 19. 

a. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized 
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (Acts 1:5.) 

b. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have 
put on Christ. (Gal. 3:27.) 

c. Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, 
they laid their hands on them. (Acts 6:6.) Wherefore I put thee in 
remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by 
the putting on of my hands. (II Tim. 1:6.) 

d. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to 
speak -with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 
2:4.) 

e. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three 
sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures. (Acts 17:2.) 

f. To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by 
many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking 
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3.) And 
when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his 
lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, 
persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the Law of Moses, and 
out of the Prophets, from morning till evening. (Acts 28:23.) 

g. This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned 
away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. (II Tim. 
1:15.) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of 
whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (II Pet. 2:2.) 

h. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three 
years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. (Acts 
20:31.) 

i. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord work- 
ing with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. 
(Mk. 16:20.) 

j. And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting 
out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbade him, 
because he followeth not us. (Mk. 9:38.) 

k. And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all 
these savings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of 
Judea. (Lu. 1:65.)

fell on them all, and the name of the Lord 
Je'sus was magnified. 

18 And many that believed came, and 'con- 
fessed, and shewed their deeds. 

19 Many of them also which '"used curious 
arts brought their books together, and burned 
them before all men: and they counted the 
price of them, and found it fifty thousand 
pieces of silver. 

20 So "mightily grew the word of God and 
prevailed. 

21 r After "these things were ended, Paul 
purposed in the spirit, when he had passed 
through Mac-e-do'm-a and A-eha'ia, to go to 
Je-ru'sa-lem, saying, After I have been there, 
t>I must also see Rome. 

22 So he sent into Mae-e-do'ni-a two of 
them that ministered unto him, Ti-md'the-us 
and E-ras'tus; but he himself stayed in A'sia 
for a season. 

23 And the same time there arose no small 
stir about that way. 

24 For a certain man named De-me 'tri-us, a 
silversmith, which made silver shrines for Di- 
ah'a, brought eno small gain unto the crafts- 
men; 

25 Whom he called together with the work- 
men of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know 
that by this craft 'we have our wealth. 

26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone 
at : 'Eph'e-sus, but almost throughout all A'sia, 
this Paul hath persuaded and turned away 
much people, saying that they s be no gods, 
which are made with hands: 

27 So that not only this our 6 craft is in dan- 
ger to be set at nought; but also that the 
temple of the great goddess Di-an'a should be 
despised, and her magnificence should be des- 
troyed, whom all A'sia and the world wor- 
shippeth. 

28 And when they heard these sayings, they 
were full of wrath, and cried out, saying. 
Great is Di-an'a of the E-phe'sians. 

29 And the whole city was filled with con- 
fusion : and having caught Ga'ius and Ar-is- 
tar'chus, men of Mae-e-do'm-a, Paul's com- 
panions in travel, they rushed with one accord 
into the theatre. 

30 And when Paul would have entered in 
unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. 

31 And certain of the chief of f A'sia, which 
were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him 
that he would not adventure himself into the 
theatre. 

32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some 
another: for the assembly was confused; and 
the more part knew not wherefore they were 
come together. 



5. While at Ephesus at this time, 
Paul writes his lirs_t epistle to the 
Corinthians, A. D. 5«. which was his 
third letter, the other two written 
in 53. See note 2, ch. IS.

Epistle to the Corinthians, which

Southern Greece. 



4. Remained. 



5. During these 3 months at Cor- 
inth. Paul wrote the Epistle to the 
Galatians. which was his fifth letter, 
in the winter of 57: also his sixth 
letter, the Epistle to the Romans in 
the early months of 5S. 



33 And they drew Al-ex-an'der out of the 
multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And 
"Al-ex-an'der beckoned with the hand, and 
would have made his defence unto the people. 

34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, 
all with one voice about the space of two hours 
cried out, Great is Di-an'a of the E-phe'sians. 

35 And when the 7 townclerk had appeased 
the people, he said, Ye men of Eph'e-sus, what 
man is there that knoweth not how that the 
city of the E-phe'sians is a worshipper of the 
great goddess Di-an'a, and of the image which 
fell down from Ju'pi-ter? 

36 Seeing then that these things cannot be 
spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do 
nothing rashly. 

37 For ye have brought hither these men, 
which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet 
blasphemers of your goddess. 

38 Wherefore if De-me'tri-us, and the crafts- 
men which are with him, have a matter against 
any man, the law is open, and there are dep- 
uties : let them implead one another. 

39 But if ye enquire any thing concerning 
other matters, it shall be determined in a law- 
ful assembly. 

40 For we are in danger to be called in 
question for this day's uproar, there being no 
cause whereby we may give an account of this 
concourse. 

41 And 'when he had thus spoken, he dis- 
missed the assembly. 

CHAPTER 20. 
1 Paul goeth to Macedonia. 10 Eutychus is 
raised to life. 17 At Miletum Paul calleth 
the elders together, 32 committeth God's 
flock .j them, 36 prayeth with them, and 
goeth his way. 

1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul 
called unto him the disciples, and embraced 
them, and departed for to go into 2 Mac-e-do'- 
ni-a. 

2 2 And when he had gone over those parts, 
and had given them much exhortation, he came 
into Greece, 

3 And there 4 abode three 5 months. And 
"when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was 
about to sail into Syr'i-a, he purposed to re- 
turn through Mac-e-do'ni-a. 

4 And there accompanied him into Asia 
S5p'a-ter of Be-re'a; and of the Thes-sa-lo'ni- 
ans, Ar-is-tar'chus and Se-ctm'dus; and Ga'ius 
of DerTDe, and J Ti-m6'the-us; and of A'sia, 
Tychl-eus and Troph'I-mus.

their sins. (Mat. 3:6.) 

m. Te shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, 
and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt east them 
awav as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 
(Is. 30:22.) 

n. Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world: and bringeth 
forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and 
knew the grace of God in truth. (Col. 1:6.) 

o. But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. 
(Rom. 15:25.) Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusa- 
lem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. (Gal. 2:1.) 

p. Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: 
for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way 
thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your comoanv. 
(Rom. 15:24.) 

q. And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel 
possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her mas- 
ters much gain by soothsaying. (Acts 16:16.) 

r. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over 
her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more. (Rev. 18:11.) 

s. Their idols are silver and gold, th'e work of men's hands. (Ps. 
115:4.) For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree 
out of the forest (the work of the hands of the workman) with the 
ax. (Jer. 10:3.) As concerning therefore the eating of those things 
that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is noth- 
ing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. (I Cor. 

i Forasmuch th'-n as we are the offspring of God. we ought not 
to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven 



by art and man's device. (Acts 17:29.) And there ye shall serve gods, 
the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor 
hear, nor eat, nor smell. (Dt. 4:2S.) And the rest of the men, which 
were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of 
their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold and 
silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, 
nor hear, nor walk. (Rev. 9:20.) 

t. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered

peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the 
prison. And he said, Go show these things unto James, and to the 
brethren. And he departed, and went into another place. (Acts 12:17. 1

the days of 6 unleavened bread, and came unto 
them to Tro'as in five days; where we abode 
seven days. 

7 'And upon c the first day of the week, when 
the disciples came together d to break bread, 
Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on 
the morrow; and continued his speech until 
midnight. 

8 And there were many lights e in the upper 
chamber, where they were gathered together. 

9 And there sat in a window a certain 
young man named Eu'ty-chus, being fallen into 
a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, 
he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from 
the third loft, and was taken up dead. 

10 And Paul went down, and ''fell on him, 
and embracing him said, Trouble not your- 
selves; for his life is in him. 

11 When he therefore was come up again, 
and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked 
a long while, even till break of day, so he de- 
parted. 

12 And they brought the young man alive, 
and were not a little comforted. 

13 V And we went before to ship, and sailed 
unto As'sos, there intending to take in Paul : 
for so had he appointed, minding himself to 
go afoot. 

14 And when he met with us at As'sos, we 
took him in, and came to Mit-y-le'ne. 

15 And we sailed thence, and came the next 
day over against Chi'os; and the next day we 
arrived at Sa'mos, and tarried at Tro-gyl'li- 
um; and the next day we came to Mi-le'tus. 

16 For Paul had determined to sail by Eph'- 
e-sus, because he would not spend the time in 
A'sja: for he hasted, if it were possible for 
him, to be at Je-ru'sa-lem ^the day of Pen'te- 
cost. 

17 11 And from Mi-le'tus he sent to Eph'e- 
sus, and called the elders of the church. 

18 And when they were come to him, he said 
unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I 
came into A'sia, after what manner I have been 
with you at all seasons, 

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of 
mind, and with many tears, and temptations, 
which befell me by the lying in wait of the 
Jews: 

20 And how I kept back nothing that was 
profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and

22 And "now, behold, I go bound in the spirit 
unto Je-ru'sa-lem, not knowing the things that 
shall befall me there: 

23 Save that the Ho'ly Ghost witnesseth in 
every city, saying that bonds and afflictions 
abide me. 

24 But ''none of these things move me, nei- 
ther count I my life dear unto myself, 'so that 
I might finish my course with joy, and the 
ministry, which I have received of the Lord 
Je'§us, to testify the gospel of the grace of 
God. 

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, 
among whom I have gone preaching the king- 
dom of God, shall see my face no more. 

26 Wherefore I take you to 'record this day, 
that I am -'pure from the blood of all men.

you all ,i the counsel of God.

and to all the flock, over the which the "'Holy 
Ghdst hath made you overseers, to feed the

Pshall grievous wolves enter in among you, not 
sparing the flock. 

30 Also ^of your own selves shall men arise, 
speaking perverse things, to draw away disci- 
ples after them. 

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by 
the space of three years I ceased not to warn 
every one night and day with tears. 

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to 
God, and 'to the word of his grace, which is 
able to build you up, and to give you s an in- 
heritance among all them which are sanctified. 

33 I 'have coveted no man's silver, or gold, 
or apparel. 

34 Yea, ye yourselves know, f that these 
hands have ministered unto my necessities, and 
to them that were with me. 

35 I have shewed you all things, how that so 
labouring ye ought to support the weak, and 
to remember the words of the Lord Je'§us, how 
he said, u It is more blessed to give than to re- 
ceive.

16:1.) 

c. The first day of the -week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when 
it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away 
from the sepulchre. (Jno. 20:1.) Upon the first day of the week let 
every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that 
there be no gatherings when I come. (I Cor. 16:2.) I was in the 
Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of 
a trumpet. (Rev. 1:10.) 

d. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and 
fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (Acts 2:42.) The 
cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood 
of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the 
body of Christ? (I Cor. 10:16.) 

e. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, 
where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, 
and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, 
and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. (Acts 1:13.) 

f. And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried 
unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's 
soul come into him again. (I Ks. 17:21.) 

g. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all 
with one accord in one place. (Acts 2:1.) But I will tarry at Ephesus 
until Pentecost. (I Cor. 16:8.) 

h. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribula- 
tion, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or 
sword? (35). Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, 
through him that loved us. (Rom. 8:35, 37.) 

i. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith. (II Tim. 4:7:) 

j. Receive us: we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no 
man, we have defrauded no man. (II Cor. 7:2.) 

k. But -the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God 
against themselves, being not baptized of him. (Lu. 7:30.) Hence- 
forth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his 
lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have 
heard of my Father I have made known unto you. (Jno. 15:15.) 

1. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in 
them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that 
hear thee. (I Tim. 4:16.) 

m. And- God hath set some in the church, first apostles, second- 



arily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of 
healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. (I Cor. 12:28.) 

n. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgive- 
ness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) 

o. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the 
eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your con- 
science from dead works to serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14.) 

p. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's cloth- 
ing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mat. 7:15.) 

q. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they 
had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they 
went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all 
of us. (I Jno. 2:19.) 

r. Be not carried about "with divers and strange doctrines. For it 
is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with 
meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 
(Heb. 13:9.) 

s. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may 
know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory 
of his inheritance in the saints. (Eph. 1:18.) To open their eyes, and 
to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto 
God. that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among 
them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. (Acts 26:18.) Which 
is the earnest -of our inheritance until the redemption of the pur- 
chased possession, unto the praise of his glory. (Eph. 1:14.) Giving 
thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of 
the inheritance of the saints in light. (Col. 1:12.) And for thi's cause 
he is the Mediator of the new testament, that by means 01 death, for 
the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testa- 
ment, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal in- 
heritance. (Heb. 9:15.) To an inheritance incorruptible, and unde- 
fined, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. (I Pet. 
1:4.) 

t. - And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we 
bless; being persecuted, we suffer it. (I Cor. 4:12.) For ye remember, 
brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we 
would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the 
gospel of God. (I Thess. 2:9.)

36 H And when he had thus spoken, he 
kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 

3 1 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's 
neck, and kissed him, 

38 Sorrowing most of all for the words 
which he spake, that they should see his face 
no more. And they accompanied him unto the 
ship. 

CHAPTER 21. 
1 Paul will not be dissuaded from going to 
Jerusalem. 9 Philip's daughters prophet- 
esses. 17 Paul cometh to Jerusalem; 27 he 
is apprehended there, 31 is resetted, and per- 
mitted to speak to the people. 

1 And it came to pass, that after we were 
'gotten from them, and had launched, we came 
with a straight course unto Coos, and the day 
^following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto 
Pat'a-ra : 

2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phe- 
ni'cia, we went aboard, and set 'forth. 

3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we 
left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syr'i-a, 
and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to 
unlade her burden. 

4 And finding disciples, we tarried there 
seven days: who said to Paul through the 
Spirit, that he should not go up to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5 And when we had accomplished those days, 
we departed and w T ent our way; and they all 
brought us on our way, with wives and chil- 
dren, till we were out of the city: and we 
kneeled down on the shore, and prayed. 

6 And when we had taken our leave one of 
another, we took ship; and they returned home 
again. 

7 And when we had finished our course from 
Tyre, we came to Pt51-e-ma'is, and saluted the 
brethren, and abode with them one day. 

8 And the next day we that were of Paul's 
company departed, and came unto Caes-a-re'a: 
and we entered into the house of Phil'ip a the 
evangelist, which was one of the 4 seven; and 
abode with him. 

9 And the same man had four daughters, 
virgins, which did prophesy. 

10 And as we tarried there 5 many days, there 
came down from Ju-dae'a a certain prophet, 
named Ag'a-bus.

feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So 
shall the Jews at Je-ru'sa-lem bind the man 
that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him 
into the hands of the Gen 'tiles. 

12 And when 'we heard these things, both 
we, and they of that place, besought him not 
to go up to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13 Then Paul answered, What 6 mean ye to 
weep and to break mine heart? for "T am ready 
not to be bound only, but also to die at Je-ru'- 
sa-lem for the name of the Lord Jesus. 

14 And when he would not be persuaded, we 
ceased, saying, ^The will of the Lord be done. 

15 And after those days we took up our car- 
riages, and went up to ; Je-ru'sa-lem. 

16 There went with us also certain of the 
disciples of Caes-a-re'a, and brought with them 
one Mna'son of Cy'prus, an old disciple, with 
whom we should lodge. 

17 'And f when we were come to Je-ru'sa- 
lem, the brethren received us gladly. 

18 And the day following Paul went in with 
us ''unto "James; and all the elders were pres- 
ent. 

19 And when he had saluted them, he de- 
clared ^particularly what things God had 
wrought among the Gen tiles ;, by his ministry. 

20 And when they heard it, they glorified 
the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest. 
brother, how many thousands of Jews there 
are which believe; and they are all 'zealous of 
the law: 

21 And they are informed of thee, that -'thou 
teachest all the Jews which are among the 
Gen'tiles to forsake 5lo'ses, saying that they 
ought not to circumcise their children, neither 
to walk after the customs. 

22 What is it therefore? the multitude must 
needs come together: for they will hear that 
thou art come. 

23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: 
We have four men which have a vow on them; 

24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, 
and be at charges with them, that they may 
'•'shave their heads: and all may know that 
those things, whereof they were informed con- 
cerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thy- 
self also walkest orderly, and 'keepest the law. 

25 As touching the Gen'tiles which believe, 
'"we have '"written and concluded that thev 



before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I 
taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose 
hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I 
will restore it you. (I Sam. 12:3.) Have we not power to eat and 
to drink? (I Cor. 9:4.) Have I committed an offence in abasing my- 
self that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the 
gospel of God freely? I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, 
to do you service. And when I was present with you, and wanted, I 
was chargeable to no man: for that which w-as lacking to me the 
brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I 
have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep 
myself. As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of 
this boasting in the regions of Achaia. Wherefore? because I love you 
not? God knoweth. But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off 
occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory 
they may be found even as we. (II Cor. 11:7-12.) 
Chapter 21. 

a. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, 
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. (Eph. 4:11.) Do thy dili- 
gence to come shortly unto me. (II Tim. 4:9.) 

b. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life 
dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the 
ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel 
of the 'grace of God. (Acts 20:24.) 

c. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, 
or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or 
sword? (Rom. S:35.) 

d. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O 
mv Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, 
thy will be done. (Mat. 26:42.) Saying, Father, if thou be willing, re- 
move this cup from me: nevertheless not mv will, but thine, be done. 
(Lu. 22:42.) 

e. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of 
the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things 
that God had done with them. (Acts 15:4.) 

f. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, 
Men and brethren, hearken unto me. (Acts 15:13.) But other of the 
apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. (Gal. 1:19.) 
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve 
tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. (.Is. 1:1.) 

g. For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which 



Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by 
word and deed. (Rom. 15:18.) 

h. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this 
ministry. (Acts 1:17.) But none of these things move me, neither 
count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course 
with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, 
to testify the gospel of the grace of God. (Acts 20:24.) 

i. I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in 
Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught 
according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was 
zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. (Acts 22:3.) For I bear 
them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowl- 
edge. (Rom. 10:2.) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might 
deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God 
and our Father. (Gal. 1:4.) 

j. For we have heard him say, That this Jesus of Nazareth shall 
destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses deliv- 
ered us. (Acts 6:14.) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith 
Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke 
of bondage. (Gal. 5:1.) 

k. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them. When 
either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a 
Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the Lord (2). And this is the 
law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he 
shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation 
(13). And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the 
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of 
the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is unto the 
sacrifice of the peace offerings. (Num. 6:2, 13, IS.) And Paul after 
this "tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the 
brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and 
Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. (Acts 
1S:1S.) 

1. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the 
Jews; to them that are under the law. as under the law, that I might 
gain them that are under the law. (I Cor. 9:20.) 

m. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall 
ye uot eat. (Gen. 9:4.) I wrote unto you in an epistle not to com- 
pany with fornicators. (I Cor. 5:9.) For this is the will of God, even 
your sanctification, that ve should abstain from fornication. (I Thess. 
4:3.)

observe no such thing, save only that they keep 
themselves from things offered to idols, and 
from blood, and from strangled, and from for- 
nication. 

26 Then "Paul took the men, and the next 
day purifying himself with them entered into 
"the temple, to signify the accomplishment of 
the days of purification, until that an offering 
should be offered for every one of them. 

27 And when the seven days were almost 
ended, the Jews which were of A'sia, when they 
saw him in the temple, stirred up all the peo- 
ple, and laid "hands on him, 

28 Crying out, Men of is'ra-el, help: This is 
the man, ^that teacheth all men every where 
against the people, and the law, and this place: 
and further brought Greeks also into the tem- 
ple, and hath polluted this holy place. 

29 (For they had seen before with him in 
the city Troph i-mus an E-phe'§ian, whom they 
supposed that Paul had brought into the tem- 
ple.) 

30 And all the city was moved, and the peo- 
ple ran together : and they took Paul, and drew 
him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors 
were shut. 

31 And as they went about to kill him, 
tidings came unto the chief captain of the 
band, that all Je-ru'sa-lem was in an uproar. 

32 «Who immediately took soldiers and cen- 
turions, and ran down unto them: and when 
they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, 
they left beating of Paul. 

33 Then the chief captain came near, and 
took him, and commanded him to be bound 
with two chains; and demanded who he was, 
and what he had done. 

34 And some cried one thing, some another, 
among the multitude: and when he could not 
know the certainty for the tumult, he com- 
manded him to be carried into the castle. 

35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it 
was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the 
violence of the people. 

36 For the multitude of the people followed 
after, crying, Away with him. 

37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, 
he said unto the chief captain, May I speak 
unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? 

38 Art not thou that E-gyp'tian, which be- 
fore these days madest an uproar, and leddest 
out into the wilderness four thousand men 
that were murderers? 

39 But Paul said, 'I am a man which am a 
Jew of Tar'sus, a city in Ci-li'cia, a citizen of 
no mean city: and, I beseech thee, 'suffer me 
to speak unto the people.

the mention of the Gentiles, the people ex- 
claim on him. 

1 1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my 
defence which I make now unto you. 

2 (And when they heard that he spake in 
the He'brew tongue to them, they kept the 
more silence: and he saith,)

in Tar'sus, a city in Ci-li'cia, yet brought up in 
this city at the feet of Ga-ma'li-el, and taught 
"according to the perfect manner of the law of

were there bound unto Je-ru'sa-lem, for to be 
punished. 

6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my 
journey, and was come nigh unto Da-mas'cus 
about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven 
a great light round about me. 

7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a 
voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why perse- 
cutest thou me? 

8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? 
And he said unto me, / am Je'§us of Naz'a- 
reth, whom thou persecutest. 

9 And "they that were with me saw indeed 
the light, and were afraid; but they heard not 
the voice of him that spake to me. 

10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And 
the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Da- 
mas'cus; and there it shall be told thee of all 
things ivhich are appointed for thee to do. 

11 And when I could not see for the glory 
of that light, being led by the hand of them 
that were with me, I came into Da-mas'cus. 

12 And one An-a-ni'as, a devout man accord- 
ing to the law, having a good report of all the 
Jew§ which dwelt there, 

13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto 
me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the 
same hour I looked up upon him. 

14 And he said, 'The God of our fathers 
7l hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know 
*his will, and see that ■'Just One, and '''shouldest 
hear the voice of his mouth. 

15 For 'thou shalt be his witness unto all 
men of '"what thou hast seen and heard. 



n. Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found rne purified in the 
temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. (Acts 24:18.) 

o. For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went 
about to kill me. (Acts 26:21.) 

p. For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover 
of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring- 
leader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Who also hath gone about to pro- 
fane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to 
our law. (Acts 24:5, 6.) 

q. This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed 
of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having under- 
stood that he was a Roman. (Acts 23:27.) 

r. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street 
which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one 
called Saul. (Acts 9:11.) 

s. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always 
to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope 
that is in you with meekness and fear. (I Pet. 3:15.) Yet if any man 
suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify 
God on this behalf. (I Pet. 4:16.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that 
after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. (Acts 
26:5.) 

b. And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in 
mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of 
my fathers. (Gal. 1:14.) 

c. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every 
house, and haling men and women, committed them to prison. (Acts 
8:3.) 

d. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the 



chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into the 
council, saying. (Lu. 22:66.) 

e. And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, 
that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, 
he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. (Acts 9:2.) 

f. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for 
my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh. (Rom. 9:3.) 

g. For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my 
lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, 
neither is there breath left in me. (Dan. 10:17.) 

h. I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a 
minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen. 
(Acts 26:16.) For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught 
it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Gal. 1:12.) 

i. Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus 
Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord. (I Cor. 9:1.) And 
last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 
(I Cor. 15:8.) 

j. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a mur- 
derer to be granted unto you. (Acts 3:14.) For such an High Priest 
became us, who is holy, harmless, undeflled, separate from sinners, 
and made higher than the heavens. (Heb. 7:26.) 

k. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered 
unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was be- 
trayed took bread, (t Cor. 11:23.) For I neither received it of man, 
neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Gal. 
1:12.) 

1. And the night following, the Lord stood by him, and said. Be 
of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, 
so must thou bear witness also at Rome. (Acts 23:11.) 

m. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and

16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be 
: baptized, "and wash away thy sins, calling on 
the name of the Lord. 

17 And "it came to pass, that, when I was 
come again to Je-ru'sa-lem, even while I prayed 
in the temple, I was in a trance; 

18 And. saw him saying unto me, Make haste, 
t'and get thee quickly out of Je-rU'sa-lem: for 
they will not receive thy testimony concern- 
ing me. 

19 And I said, Lord, 5they know that I im- 
prisoned and beat in every synagogue them 
that believed on thee: 

20 And when the blood of thy 'martyr Ste- 
phen was shed, I also was standing by, and 
consenting unto his death, and kept the rai- 
ment of them that slew him. 

21 And he said unto me, Depart: 'for I ivill 
send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. 

22 And they gave him 4 audience unto this 
word, and then lifted up their voices, and said ; \ 
Away with such a fellow from the earth : for 
it is not fit that *he should live. 

23 And as they cried out, and cast off their 
'clothes, and threw dust into the air, 

24 The chief captain commanded him to be 
brought into the castle, and bade that he should 
be examined by "scourging; that he might 
"know wherefore they cried so against him. 

25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul 
said unto the centurion that stood by, f Is it 
lawful for you to scourge a man that is a 
Roman, and uncondemned? 

26 When the centurion heard that, he went 
and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed 
what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. 

27 Then the chief captain came, and said 
unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He 
said, Yea. 

28 And the chief captain answered, With a 
great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul 
said, But I was free bom. 

29 Then straightway they departed from 
him which should have examined him: and the 
chief captain also was afraid, after he knew 
that he was a Ro'man, and because he had 
bound him. 

30 On the morrow, because he would have 
known the certainty wherefore he was accused 
of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and 
commanded" the chief priests and all their coun- 
cil to appear, and brought Paul down, and set 
him before them.

1. In vs. 1-10 Paul so adroitly de-

CHAPTER 23. 
1 As Paul pleadeth his cause, 2 Ano^nias com- 
mandeth them to smite him. 7 Dissension 
among his accusers. 11 God encourageth 
him. 14 The Jej.cs' laying wait for Paul 20 
is declared unto the chief captain. 27 He 
sendeth him to Felix the governor. 

1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, 
said, Men and brethren, a l have lived in all 
good Conscience before God until this day. 

2 And the high priest An-a-ni'as commanded 
them that stood by him 6 to smite him on the 
mouth. 

3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall 3 smite 
thee, thou whited 4 wall : for sittest thou to 
judge me after the law, and c commandest me 
to be smitten contrary to the law? 

4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou 
God's high priest? 

•5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that 
he was the high priest : for it is written, Thou 
shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 

6 But when Paul perceived that the one part 
were Sad'du-cees, and the other Phar'i-sees, he 
cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I 
am a Phar'i-see, the son of a Phar'i-see: d of 
the hope and resurrection of the dead I am 
called in question. 

7 And when he had so said, there arose a 
"dissension between the Phar'i-see§ and the 
Sad'du-cees : and the multitude was divided. 

8 For the Sad'du-cees say that there is no 
resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the 
Phar'i-sees confess both. 

9 And there arose a great cry: and the 
scribes that were of the Phar'i-sees' part arose, 
and e strove, saying, We find no evil in this 
man : but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken 
to him, e let us not fight against God. 

10 T And when there arose a great dissension, 
the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should 
have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded 
the soldiers to go down, and to take him by 
force from among them, and to bring him s into 
the castle. 

11 And fthe night following the Lord stood 
by him and said, Be of good cheer, Paxil: for 
as thou hast testified of me in Je-ru'sa-lem, so 
must thou bear witness also at Rome. 

12 And when it was day, ^certain of the 
Jews banded together, and bound themselves 
''under a c 'curse, saying that they would neither 
eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 



heard. (Acts 4:20.) But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have ap- 
peared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a wit- 
ness, both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things 
in the which I will appear unto thee. (Acts 26:16.) 

n. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one 
of you in the name of jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye 
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:3S.) Let us draw 
near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts 
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure 
water. (Heb. 10:22.) 

o. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in 
the body, I cannot tell; or whether of the body, I cannot tell: God 
knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. (II Cor. 12:2.) 

p. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, 
when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your 
feet. (Mat. 10:14.) 

q. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every 
house and haling men and women, committed them to prison. (Acts 
8:3.) 

r. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, 
Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called 
them. (Acts 13:2.) Delivering thee from the people, and from the 
Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee. (Acts 26:17.) 

s. And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here 
present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of 
the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying 
that he ought not to live any longer. (Acts 25:24.) 

t. But Paul said unto them. They have beaten us openly uncon- 
demned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they 
thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and 
fetch us out. (Acts 16:37.) 

Chapter 23. 

a. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: 
but he that judgeth me is the Lord. (I Cor. 4:4.) For our rejoicing 
is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly 
sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, hut by the grace of God, we have 



had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 
(II. Cor. 1:12.) 

b. Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the 
stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the 
house of the Lord. (Jer. 20:2.) And when he had thus spoken, one of 
the officers which stood by struck Jesus with th: palm of his hand, 
saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? (Jno. 18:22.) 

c. Te shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in mete-yard, in 
weight, or in measure. (Lev. 19:35.) Doth our law judge any man 
before it hear him and know what he doeth? (Jno. 7:51.) 

d. For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and 
to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound 
with this chain. (Acts 28:20.) 

e. But if it be of God. ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye he 
found even to fight against God. (Acts 5:39.) 

f. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 
(Ps. 46:1.) For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save 
him from those that condemn his soul. (Ps. 109:31.) Fear thou not; 
for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will 
strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee: yea. I will uphold thee with 
the right hand of my righteousness. (Is. 41:10.) When thou passest 
through the waters, I will be with thee: and through the rivers, they 
shall not overflow- thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou 
shalt not be burned: neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (Is. 
43:2.) Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not 
afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace. (Acts ]S::>.1 

g. Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in 
pieces: and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye 
shall be broken in pieces: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in 
pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak 
the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. (Is. 8:9, 10.) 
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can 
be against us? (Rom. 8:31.) 

h. Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, saying, God do so to 
me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his 
own life. (I Ks. 2:23.) Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, 
I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. (Mat. 26:74.)

13 And they were more than forty which 
had made this conspiracy. 

14 And they came to the chief priests and 
elders, and said, We have bound ourselves 
under a great ''curse, that we will eat nothing 
until we have slain Paul. 

15 Now therefore ye with the council signi- 
fy to the chief captain that he bring him down 
unto you to morrow, as though ye would en- 
quire something more perfectly concerning 
him: and we, or "ever he come near, are ready 
to kill him. 

16 And 'when Paul's "sister's son heard of 
their lying in wait, he went and entered into 
the castle, and told Paul. 

17 Then 'Paul called '"one of the centurions 
unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto 
the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing 
to tell him. 

18 So he took him, and brought him to the 
chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called 
me unto him, and prayed me to bring this 
young man unto thee, who hath something to 
say unto thee. 

19 Then the chief captain took him by the 
hand, and went with him aside privately, and 
asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? 

20 And he said, /; The Jew§ have agreed to 
desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul 
to morrow into the council, as though they 
would enquire somewhat of him more per- 
fectly. 

21 But do not thou yield unto them: for 
there 'lie in wait for him of them more than 
forty men, which have bound themselves with 
an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink 
till they have killed him: and now are they 
ready, looking for a promise from thee. 

22 So the chief captain then let the young 
man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no 
man that thou hast shewed these things to me. 

23 And he called unto him two centurions, 
saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go 
to Caes-a-re'a, and Norsemen threescore and ten, 
and spearmen two hundred, at the 'third hour 
of the night; 

24 And provide them beasts, that they may 
set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Fe'lix 
the governor. 

25 And he wrote a letter after this manner: 

26 Clau'di-us Lys'ias unto the most excellent 
governor Fe'lix sendeth greeting. 



11. The only New Testament al- 
lusion of any blood relations of Paul. 



12. Though Jehovah had assured 
Paul that he would protect him. Paul 
understands that he must use his 
own best means of defense, as God 
helps only those who help themselves.

Jerusalem.

4 That is. charged this man with 
sedition, heresy, a«d sacrilege. 



5. A pest. 



27 This "'man was taken of the Jews, and 
should "have been killed of them: then came 
I with an army, and rescued him, having un- 
derstood that he was a Roman. 

28 And when I would have known the cause 
wherefore they accused him, I brought him 
forth into their council : 

29 Whom I perceived to be accused of ques- 
tions "of their law, °but to have nothing laid to 
his charge worthy of death or of bonds. 

30 And when it was told me how that the 
Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway 
to thee, and ^gave commandment to his accus- 
ers also to say before thee what they had 
against him. Farewell. 

31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded 
them, took Paul, and brought him by night to 
An-tip'a-tris. 

32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to 
go with him, and returned to the castle: 

33 Who, when they came to '^Cass-a-re'a, and 
delivered the epistle to the governor, presented 
Paul also before him. 

34 And when the governor had read the let- 
ter, he asked of what province he was. And 
when he understood that he was of 'Qi-li'cia; 

35 S I will hear thee, said he, when thine ac- 
cusers are also come. And he commanded him 
to be kept in 'Her'od's judgment hall. 

CHAPTER 24. 
1 Paul, being accused, 10 answereth for his 
life and doctrine. 24 He preacheth Christ 
to the governor and his ivife. 

1 'And after "five Mays 6 An-a-ni'as the high 
priest descended with the elders, and with a 
certain orator named Ter-tul'lus, who informed 
the governor against Paul. 

2 And when he was called forth,. Ter-tul'lus 
began to accuse him, saying, Seeing c that by 

thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very 
worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy 
providence, 

3 We accept it always, and in all places, 
most noble Fe'lix, with all thankfulness. 

4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further 
tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou would- 
est hear us of thy clemency a few words. 

5 d For we have found 4 this man a "pestilent 
fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the 
Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader 
of the sect of the Naz'a-renes: 

6 Who also hath gone about to profane the 



i. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of 
the froward is carried headlong. (Job 5:13.) There is no w T isdom nor 
understanding nor counsel against the Lord. (Prov. 21:30.) 

j. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the 
simple pass on, and are punished. (Prov. 22:3.) Behold, I send you 
fojth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, 
and harmless as doves. (Mat. 10:16.) See then that ye walk circum- 
spectly, not as fools, but as wise. (Eph. 5:15.) 

k. And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait 
for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return 
through Macedonia. (Acts 20:3.) Then the high priest and the chief 
of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him, And de- 
sired favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, lay- 
ing wait in the way to kill him. (Acts 25:2, 3.) 

1. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait 
to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into 
his net. (Ps. 10:9.) The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnash- 
eth upon him with his teeth (12). The wicked watcheth the righteous, 
and seeketh to slay him. (Ps. 37:12, 32.) For their feet run to evil, 
and make haste to shed blood. (Prov. 1:16.) For they sleep not, ex- 
cept they have done mischief: and their sleep is taken away, unless 
they cause some to fall. (Prov. 4:16.) Their feet run to evil, and 
they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts 
of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. (Is. 59:7.) 

m. Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and com- 
manded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, 
and what he had dene. (Acts 21:33.) But the chief captain Lysias 
came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our 
hands. (Acts 24:7.) 

n. But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, 
look ye to it: for I will be no judge of such matters. (Acts 18:15.) 
But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and 
of one Jesus, which vas dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. (Acts 
25:19.) 

o. And when they were gone aside, they talked between them- 
selves, saying, .This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 
(Acts 26:31.) Who, when they had examined me, would have let me 
go, because there was no cause of death in me. (Acts 28:18.) 

p. And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he 



went down unto Cesarea; and the next day, sitting on the judgment 
seat, commanded Paul to be brought. (Acts 25:6.) 

q. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he 
preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea. (Acts 8:40.) 

r. But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city 
in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me 
to speak unto the people. (Acts 21:39.) 

s. And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the 
elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the 
governor against Paul. (Acts 24:1.) To whom I answered, It is not 
the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that 
he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence 
to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him. (Acts 
25:16.) 

t. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common 
hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. (Mat. 27:27.) 

Chapter 24. 

a. And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which 
were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the 
people, and laid hands on him. (Acl* 21:27.) 

b. And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by 
him to smite him on the mouth (2). And when it was told me how 
that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and 
gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they 
had against him. Farewell (30). I will hear thee, said he, when thine 
accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's 
judgment hall. (Acts 23: 2, 30, 35.) Then the high priest and the chief 
of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him. (Acts 25:2.) 

c. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering 
lins, and with a double heart, do they speak. (Ps. 12:2.) The words 
of his mouth were ■ smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: 
his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. (Ps. 
55:21.) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own 
lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's 
persons in admiration because of advantage. (Jude 16.) 

d. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow 
perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying 
that he himself is Christ a King. (Lu. 23:2.) And on the sabbath

temple: whom we took, and would e have judged 
according to our law. 

7 But ^the chief captain Lys'ias came upon 
us, and with great "violence took him away out 
of our hands, 

8 Commanding his accusers to come unto 
thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest 
take knowledge of all these things, whereof we 
accuse him. 

9 And the Jews also assented, saying that 
these things were so. 

10 Then Paul, after that the governor had 
'beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Foras- 
much as I know that thou hast been of many 
years a judge unto this nation, I do the more 
cheerfully answer for myself : 

11 s Because that thou mayest understand, 
that there are yet but twelve days since I went 
up to Je-ru'sa-lem for to worship. 

12 And -"they neither found me in the tem- 
ple disputing with any man, neither raising up 
the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in 
the city: 

J.3 Neither can they prove the things where- 
of they now accuse me. 

14 "But this I confess unto thee, that after 
7i the way which they call heresy, so worship I 
the ! God of my fathers, believing all things 
which are written in -'the law and in the 
prophets : 

15 And '-have hope toward God, which they 
themselves also allow, 7 that there shall be a 
resurrection of the dead, both of the just and 
unjust. 

16 And '"herein do I exercise myself, to have 
always a conscience void of offence toward God, 
and toward men. 

17 "Now after many years "I came to bring 
alms to my nation, and offerings. 

18 Whereupon ^certain Jews from A'sia 
found me purified in the temple, neither with 
multitude, nor with tumult. 

19 Who bought to have been here before 
thee, and object, if they had ought against me. 

20 Or else let these same here say, ff they 
have found any evil doing in me, while I stood 
before the council, 

21 Except it be for this one voice, that I 
cried standing among them, Touching the 8res- 
urrection of the dead I am called in question 
by you this day. 



6. No violence except among 
themselves. 



7. That is. notifies Panl that he 
may now speak in his own behalf. 



8. In vs. 11-13 Paul answers the 
charge of seditioo. 



9. In vs. 14-16 he answers the 
charge of heresy. 



10. In vs. 17-21 he answers the 
charge of sacrilege. 



31. Justice and honor. 



12. Self-control over the lusts and 
appetite. 



13. The time when the unright- 
eous, the intemperate, would be 
judged. 



14. Thus Paul had been in prison 
for two years.

22 And when Fe'lix heard these things, hav- 
ing more perfect knowledge of that way, he de- 
ferred them, and said, When Lys'ias the chief 
captain shall come down, I will know the utter- 
most of your matter. 

23 And he commanded a centurion to keep 
Paul, and let him have liberty, and '"that he 
should forbid none of his acquaintance to min- 
ister or come unto him. 

24 And after certain days, when Fe'lix came 
with his wife Dru-sil'la, which was a Jew'ess, 
he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the 
faith in Christ. 

25 And as he reasoned of "righteousness, 
'^temperance, and "judgment to come, Fe'lix 
trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this 
time; when I have a convenient season, I will 
call for thee. 

26 He hoped also that ? 'money should have 
been given him of Paul, that he might loose 
him : wherefore he sent for him the oftener, 
and communed with him. 

27 But after two "years Por'ci-us Fes'tus 
came into Fe'lix' room: and Fe'lix, 'willing to 
shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. 

CHAPTER 25. 
2 The Jews accuse Paul before Festus. 11 Paul 
appealeth unto Csesar. 25 Festus cleareth 
hi in to have done nothing worthy of death. 

1 'Now when Fes'tus was come into the 
province, after three days he ascended from 
Cses-a-re'a to Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2 Then a the high Spriest and the chief of the 
Jews informed him against Paul, and besought 
him, 

3 And desired 'favour against him, that he 
would send for him to Je-ru'sa-lem, laying wait 
5 in the way to kill him. 

4 But Fes'tus answered, that Paul should be 
kept at Cses-a-re'a, and that he himself would 
depart shortly thither. 

5 Let them therefore, said he, which among 
you are able, go down with me, and accuse 
this man, c if there be any wickedness in him. 

6 And when he had tarried among them 
more than ten days, he went down unto Caes-a- 
re'a; and the next day sitting on the judgment 
seat commanded Paul to be brought. 

7 And when he was come, the Jews which 
came down from Je-ru'sa-lem stood round 



thither. (Acts 16:13.) Having your conversation honest among the 
Gentiles; that, whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may 
by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day 
of visitation (12). For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye 
may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. (I Pet. 2:12, 15.) 

"e. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him ac- 
cording to yo.ur law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not law- 
ful for us to put any man to death. (Jno. 18:31.) 

f. Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and com- 
manded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, 
and what he had done. (Acts 21:33.) 

g. While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the 
Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cesar, have I of- 
fended any thing at all. (Acts 25:8.) 

h. And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief 
of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto 
them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the 
people nor customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from 
Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. (Acts 28:17.) I will speak of 
thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. (Ps. 119:46.) 
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, 
liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and 
never rise up again. (Amos 8:14.) 

i. I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure 
conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my 
prayers night and day. (II Tim. 1:3.) 

j. Saying none other things than those which the prophets and 
Moses did say should come. (Acts 26:22.) For all the promises of 
God in him are vea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 
(II Cor. 1:20.) 

k. And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise 
made of God unto our fathers: Unto which promise our twelve tribes, 
instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's 
sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:6, 7.) 

1. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall 
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting 
contempt. (Dan. 12:2.) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming. 
in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall 
come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; 
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 
(Jno. 5 28, 29 I 

m. And Paul, earnestly beholding the counsel, said, Men and 



brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this 
day. (Acts 23:1.) 

n. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would 
not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, 
to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. (Acts 20:16.) But now I go 
unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. (Rom. 15:25.1 Only they 
would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was 
forward to do. (Gal. 2:10.) 

0. For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and w'ent 
about to kill me. (Acts 26:21.) 

p. To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to 
deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the 
accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concern- 
ing the crime laid against him. (Acts 25:16.) 

q. But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, 
and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council. Men and brethren, 
I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection 
of the dead I am called in question. (Acts 23:6.) 

r. And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously 
entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh 
himself. (Acts 27:3.) 

s. For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some 
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) 

t. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou 
speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment. (Ex. 23:2.) 
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take 
Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) (Acts 12:3.) But 
Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, 
Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things 
before me? (Acts 25:9.) 

Chapter 25. 

a. And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the 
elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the 
governor against Paul. (Acts 24:1.) 

b. And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and 
bound themselves under a curse, saving that thev would neither eat 
nor drink till they had killed Paul. (Acts 23:12.) 

c. And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said 
unto the Jews. If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O 
ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you. (Acts 18:14.)

about, d and laid many and grievous complaints 
against Paul, which they could not prove. 

8 While he answered for himself, Neither 
against c the law of the Jews, neither against 
the temple, nor yet against Qae'sar, have I of- 
fended any thing at all. 

9 But Fes'tus, 'willing to do the Jew§ a 
pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou 
go up to Je-ru'sa-lem, and there be judged of 
these things before me? 

10 Then said Paul, I stand at Qae'sar's judg- 
ment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the 
Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well 
knowest. 

11 For if I be an offender, or have com- 
mitted any thing worthy of death, I refuse not 
to die: but if there be none of these things 
whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver 
me unto them. "I appeal unto Qae'sar. 

12 Then Fes'tus, when he had conferred 
with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed 
unto Caesar? unto Cae'sar shalt thou go. 

13 4 And after certain days king A-grip'pa 
and Ber-ni'ce came unto Qses-a-re'a to salute 
Fes'tus. 

14 And when they had been there many 
days, Fes'tus declared Paul's cause unto the 
king, saying, A There is a certain man left in 
bonds by Fe'lix: 

15 About whom, when I was at Je-ru'sa-lem, 
the chief priests and the elders of the Jew§ 
informed me, desiring to have judgment 
against him. 

16 To whom I answered, It is not the man- 
ner of the Ro'mans to deliver any man to die, 
before that he which is accused have the ac- 
cusers face to face, and have licence to answer 
for himself concerning the crime laid against 
him. 

17 Therefore, when they were come hither, 
without any delay on the morrow I sat on the 
judgment seat, and commanded the man to be 
brought forth. 

18 Against whom when the accusers stood 
up, they brought none accusation of such things 
as I supposed : 

19 But 'had certain questions against him of 
their own superstition, and of one Je'sus, which 
was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 

20 And because I doubted of such manner of 
questions, I asked him whether he would go to 
Je-ru'sa-lem, and there be judged of these mat- 
ters. 

21 But when Paul had appealed to be re- 
served unto the hearing of s Au-gus'tus, I com- 
manded him to be kept till I might send him 
to Cae'sar. 



4. In vs. 13-27 Agrippa II, hear- 
ing of Paul's ease, desires to sec 
him. and Faul is accordingly brought 
forth. 



5. Octavianus, nephew of Julius 
Caesar, the Senate giving him the 
title of Augustus, meauing august or 
worshipful. 



Ch. 26. . A. D. 62. 



1. In this ch. Paul delivers his 
fourth defense, which is before King 
Agrippa. who pronounces Paul inno- 
cent, although he concludes that 
Paul's appeal to Caesar must be car- 
ried out; hence Paul is remanded to 
prison. 



22 Then A-grip'pa said unto Fes'tus, I 
would also hear the man myself. To morrow, 
said he, thou shalt hear him. 

23 And on the morrow, when A-grip'pa' was 
come, and Ber-ni'ce, with •'great pomp, and 
was entered into the place of hearing, with the 
chief captains, and principal men of the city, 
at Fes'tus' commandment Paul was brought 
forth. 

"24 And Fes'tus said, King A-grip'pa, and all 
men which are here present with us, ye see 
this man, about whom all the multitude of the 
Jew§ have dealt with me, both at Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and also here, crying that he ought A 'not to 
live any longer. 

25 But when I found that he had committed 
nothing worthy of death, and that he himself 
hath appealed to Au-gus'tus, I have determined 
to send him. 

26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write 
unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him 
forth before you, and specially before thee, 
king A-grip'pa, that, after examination had, I 
might have somewhat to write. 

27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to 
send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the 
crimes laid against him. 

CHAPTER 26. 
2 Paul, before Agrippa, aleclareth his life, 12 
and how he was converted. 24 Festus charg- 
eth him to be mad, whereunto he answer eth 
modestly. 28 Agrippa almost persuaded to 
be a Christian. 31 The whole company pro- 
nounced 'him to be innocent. 

1 'Then A-grip'pa said unto Paul, Thou art 
permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul 
stretched forth the hand, and answered for 
himself: 

2 I think myself happy, king A-grip'pa, be- 
cause I shall answer for myself this day before 
thee touching all the things whereof I am ac- 
cused of the Jew§: 

3 Especially because I know thee to be ex- 
pert in all customs and questions which are 
among the Jew§: wherefore I beseech thee to 
hear me patiently. 

4 My manner of life from my youth, which 
was at the first among mine own nation at 
Je-ru'sa-lem, know all the Jews; 

5 Which knew me from the beginning, if 
they would testify, that after "the most strait- 
est sect of our religion I lived a Phar'i-see. 

6 And now I stand and am judged for the 
hope of 6 the promise made of God unto our 
fathers : 



d. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false 
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 
(Ps. 27:12.) False witnesses did rise up: they laid to my charge 
things that I knew not. (Ps. 35:11.) And the chief priests accused 
him of many things: but he answered nothing. (Mk. 15:3.) Who both 
killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted 
us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men. (I Thess. 
2:15.) 

e. And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not 
to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law. 
(Acts 6:13.) 

f. Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, 
fatherless, and widow. (Dt. 2":19.) And said to the judges, Take heed 
what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with 
you in the judgment. (II Chr. 19:6.) And because he saw it pleased 
the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the 
days- of unleavened bread.) (Acts 12:3.) For do I now persuade men, 
or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I 
should not be the servant of Christ. (Gal. 1:10.) But if ye have re- 
spect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as 
transgressors. (Js. 2:9.) 

g. Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh 
it down with her hands. (Prov. 14:1.) Wisdom is better than weap- 
ons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. (Bcc. .9:18.) Behold, 
I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore 
wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Mat. 10:16.) See then that 
ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. (Eph. 5:15.) 

h. But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room; 
and Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. 
(Acts 24:27.) 

i. But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, 
look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters. (Acts 18:15.) 
Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have 
nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. (Acts 23:29.) 



For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; 
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (I Cor. 1:18.) 

j. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all 
is vanity. (Ecc. 1:2.) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of 
man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower 
thereof falleth away. (I Pet. 1:24.) 

k. And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up 
their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth; for 
it is not fit that he should live. (Acts 22:22.) 

Chapter 26. 

a. I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in 
Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught 
according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was 
zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. (Acts 22:3.) 

b. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and be- 
tween thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt 
bruise his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) And in thy seed shall all the nations 
of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. (Gen 
22:18.) Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. 
And he said. Nay; but thou didst laugh. (Gen. 18:15.) The Lord hath 
sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of 
thy body will I set upon thy throne. (Ps. 132:11.) Therefore the Lord 
himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and 
bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Is. 7:14.) For unto 
us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall 
be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Coun- 
sellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, 
(Is. 9:6.) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise 
unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, 
and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Jer. 23:5.) Be- 
hold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good 
thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel, and to the 
house of Judah. (Jer. 33:11.) And I will set up one Shepherd over 
them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed

7 Unto which promise c our twelve tribes, 
instantly serving God d day and night, hope c to 
come. For which hope's sake, king A-grip'pa, 
I am accused of the Jew§. 

8 Why should it be thought a thing incredi- 
ble with you, that God should raise 'the dead? 

9 I ^verily thought with myself, that I ought 
to do many things contrary to the name of 
Je'sus of Naz'a-reth. 

10 Which ''thing I also did in Je-ru'sa-lem: 
and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, 
having received authority 'from the chief 
priests; and when they were put to death, I 
gave my voice against them. 

11 And 'I punished them oft in every syna- 
gogue, and compelled them "to blaspheme; and 
being exceedingly mad against them, I perse- 
cuted them even unto strange cities. 

12 Whereupon as I went to Da-mas'cus with 
authority and commission from the chief 
priests, 

13 At midday, king, I saw in the way a 
light from heaven, above the brightness of the 
sun, shining round about me and them which 
journeyed with me. 

14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, 
I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying 
in the He'brew tongue, Saul, Saul, why perse- 
cutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick 
against the pricks. 

15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he 
said, / am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 

16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I 
have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to 
make thee a minister and a witness both of 
these things which thou hast seen, and of those 
things in the which I will appear unto thee; 

17 Delivering thee from the "people, and 
from the Gen'tiles, unto whom now I send thee, 

18 \To open their eyes, and l to turn them 
from darkness to light, and m from the power 
of Sa'tan unto God, n that they may receive 
forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among 
them which are "sanctified by faith that is 
in me. 

19 Whereupon, king A-grip'pa, I was not 
disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 

20 But ^showed first unto them of Da-mas'- 
cus, and at Je-ru'sa-lem, and throughout all the 
coasts of Ju-dffi'a, and then to the Gen'tiles,

wreck at Malta. 



that they should repent and turn to God, and 
do works meet for repentance. 

21 For these causes the Jew§ caught me in 
the temple, and went about to kill me. 

22 Having therefore obtained help of God, 
I continue unto this day, witnessing both to 
small and great, saying none other things than 
those which ^the prophets and 'Mo'§e§ did say 
should come: 

23 That s ChrIst should suffer, and that f he 
should be the first that should rise from the 
dead, and should "shew light unto the people, 
and to the Gentile?. 

24 And as he thus spake for himself, Fes'tus 
said with a loud voice, Paul, l thou art beside 
thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. 

25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble 
'Fes'tus; but speak forth the words of truth 
and soberness. 

26 For the king knoweth of these things, be- 
fore whom also I speak freely: for I am per- 
suaded that none of these things are hidden 
from him; for this thing was not done in a 
corner. 

27 King A-grip'pa, believest thou the proph- 
ets? I know that thou believest. 

28 Then A-grip'pa said unto Paul, u Almost 
thou persuadest me to be a Chris'tian. 

29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not 
only thou, but also all that hear me this day, 
were both almost, and altogether such as I am, 
except these bonds. 

30 And when he had thus spoken, the king 
rose up, and the governor, and Ber-ni'ce, and 
they that sat with them: 

31 And when they were gone aside, they 
talked between themselves, saying, - r This man 
doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 

32 Then said A-grip'pa unto Fes'tus, This 
man might have been set at liberty, "if he had 
not appealed unto Cas'sar. 

CHAPTER 27. 

1 Paul shipping toward Rome, 10 foretelleth 
of the danger of the voyage, 11 but is not 
believed. 14 They are tossed to and fro 
with tempest, 41 and suffer shipwreck, 22, 
34, 44 yet all come safe to land. 
1 1 And when °it was determined that we 

should sail into-tt'a-ly, they delivered Paul and 



them, and he shall be their shepherd. (Ez. 34:23.) Behold, I will send 
my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, 
whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger 
of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the 
Lord of hosts. (Mai. 3:1.)

twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. (Js. 1:1.) 

d. And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which 
departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and 
prayers night and day. (Lu. 2:37.) Night and day praying exceedingly 
that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking 
in your faith? (I Thess. 3:10.) 

e. If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the 
dead. (Phil. 3:11.) 

f. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall 
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting 
contempt. (Dan. 12:2.) 

g. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time 
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God 
service. (Jno. 16:2.) 

h. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every 
house, and haling men and women, committed them to prison. (Acts 
8:3.) 

i. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate 
of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, 
and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto 
Jerusalem, for to be punished. (Acts 22:5.) 

j. And I said. Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in 
every synagogue them that believed on thee. (Acts 22:19.) 

k. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the 
deaf shall be unstopped. (Is. 35:5.) 

1. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what 
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what com- 
munion hath light with darkness? (II Cor. 6:14.) Having the under- 
standing darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the 
ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart. 
(Eph. 4:18.) For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light 
in the Lord: walk as children of light. (Eph. 5:8.) Who hath de- 
livered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into 
the kingdom of his dear Son. (Col. 1:13.) 

m. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth 
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, 
that he might destroy the works of the devil. (1 Jno. 3:8.) 



n. To give knowledge of salvation unto his people, by the re- 
mission of their sins. (Lu. 1:77.) 

o. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word 
of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an in- 
heritance among all them which are sanctified. (Acts 20:32.) 

p. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that 
he is the Son of God. (Acts 9:20.) 

q. But now the righteousness of God without the law is mani- 
fested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets. (Rom. 3:21.) 

r. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he 
wrote of me. (Jno. 5:46.) 

s. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and de- 
spised of the people. (Ps. 22:6.) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and 
carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, 
and afflicted (4). He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened 
not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a 
sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 
(Is. 53:4, 7.) 

t. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first- 
fruits of them that slept. (I Cor. 15:20.) And from Jesus Christ, who 
is the faithful Witness, and the first-begotten of the dead, and the 
Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed 
us from our sins in his own blood. (Rev. 1:5.) 

u. I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold 
thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant to the 
people, for a light of the Gentiles. (Is. 42:6.) 

v. And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why 
hear ye him? (Jno. 10:20.) We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are 
wise in Christ: we are weak, but ye are strong: ye are honorable, but 
we are despised. (I Cor. 4:10.) 

w. For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and 
an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many 
things, and heard him gladly. (Mk. 6:20.) 

x. Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but 
to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. (Acts 
23:29.) But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of 
death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have deter- 
mined to send him. (Acts 25:25.) 

y. For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy 
of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things 
whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I ap- 
peal unto Cesar. (Acts 25:11.)

certain other prisoners unto one named Ju'lius, 
a centurion of Au-gus'tus' band. 

2 And entering into a ship of Ad-ra-myt'ti- 
um,_we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts 
of A'§ia; one 6 Ar-is-tar'chus, a Mac-e-do'ni-an 
of Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca, being with us. 

3 And the next day we touched at Si'don. 
And Ju'lius c courteously entreated Paul, and 
gave him liberty to go unto his friends to re- 
fresh himself. 

4 And when we had launched from thence, 
we sailed under Cy'prus, because the winds 
were contrary. 

5 And when we had sailed over the sea of 
Ci-li'cia and Pam-phyl'i-a, we came to My'ra, 
a city of Ly'cia. 

6 And there the centurion found a ship of 
Al-ex-an'dri-a sailing into ft'a-ly; and he put 
us therein. 

7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, 
and scarce were come over against Cni'dus, the 
wind not suffering us, we sailed under d Crete, 
over against Sal-mS'ne; 

8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place 
which is called The fair havens; nigh where- 
unto was the city of La-se'a. 

9 Now when much time was spent, and when 
sailing was now dangerous, 'because the 2 fast 
was now already past, Paul admonished them, 

10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that 
this voyage will be with hurt and much dam- 
age, not only of the lading and ship, but also 
of our lives. 

11 Nevertheless the centurion believed 3 the 
master and the owner of the ship, more than 
those things which were spoken by Paul. 

12 And because the haven was not com- 
modious to winter in, the more part advised to 
depart thence also, if by any means they 
might attain to The-ni'ce, and there to winter; 
which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward 
the south west and north west. 

13 And when the south wind blew softly, 
supposing that they had obtained their purpose, 
loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. 

14 But not long after there arose against it 
a tempestuous wind, called »Eu-roc'ly-don. 

15 And when the ship was caught, and could 
not bear up into the wind, we let her Mrive. 

16 And running under a certain island which 
is called Clau'da, we had much work to come 
by the boat: 

17 Which when they had taken up, they

used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fear- 
ing lest they should fall into the quicksands, 
strake sail, and so were driven. 

18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a 
tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 

19 And the third day ''we cast out with our 
own hands the tackling of the ship. 

1 20 And when neither sun nor stars in many 
days appeared, and no small tempest lay on 
us, all hope that we should be saved was then 
taken away. 

21 But after long abstinence Paul stood 
forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye 
should have hearkened unto me, and not have 
loosed from Crete, and to have 5 gained this 
harm and loss. 

22 And now I exhort you to be of good 
cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's 
life among you, but of the ship. 

23 For 'there stood by me this night the 
angel of God, whose I am, and whom >l serve, 

24 Saying, A 'Fear not, Paul; thou must be 
brought before Caspar: and, lo, God hath 
'given thee all them that sail with thee. 

25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for '"I 
believe God, that it shall be even as it was 
told me. 

26 Howbeit "we must be cast upon a certain 
island. 

27 "But when the fourteenth night was come, 
as we were driven up and down in A-dri'a, 
about midnight the shipmen deemed that they 
drew near to some country; 

28 And sounded, and found it twenty fath- 
oms: and when they had gone a little further, 
they sounded again, and found it fifteen fath- 
oms. 

29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen 
upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the 
stern, and wished for the day. 

30 And as the shipmen were about to flee 
out of the ship, when they had let down the 
boat into the sea, under colour as though 
they would have cast anchors out of the fore- 
ship, 

31 Paul said to the centurion and to the sol- 
diers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot 
be saved. 

32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of 
the boat, and let her fall off. 

33 7 And while the day was coming on, Paul 
besought them all to take meat, saying, This 



Hast thou appealed unto Cesar? unto Cesar shalt thou go (12). But 
when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and 
that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send 
him. (Acts 25:12, 25.) 

b. And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having 
caught Gaius and Aristarehus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions 
in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. (Acts 19:29.) 
With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. 
They shall make known unto you ali things which are done here. 
*(Col. 4:9.) 

c. And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the pris- 
oners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell 
by himself with the soldier that kept him. (Acts 28:16.) 

d. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The 
Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. (Tit. 1:12.) 

e. And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an 
holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls; ye shall not do any 
work therein. (Num. 29:7.) 

f. Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution 
that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and 
Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. (Acts 
11:19.) 

g. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which 
lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go 
down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at 
their wits' end. (Ps. 107:25-27.) 

h. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his 
god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to 
lighten it of them. Eut Jonah was gone down into the sides of the 
ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. (Jon. 1:5.) 

i. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will 
show them his covenant. (Ps. 25:14.) Surely the Lord God will do 
nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 
(Amos 3:7.) 

j. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast 
him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, 
Thy God, whom thou servest continually, tie will deliver thee. (Dan. 



6:16.) For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the 
gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always 
in my prayers. (Rom. 1:9.) I thank God, whom I serve from my 
forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remem- 
brance of thee in my prayers night and day. (II Tim. 1:3.) 

k. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am 
tby God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will 
uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (10). Fear not, 
thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the 
Lord, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Is. 41:10, 14.) When 
thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the 
rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the 
fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon 
thee. (Is. 43:2.) 

I. And it came to pass, from the time that he had made him 
overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed 
the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord 
was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field (5). The 
keeper of the prison lcoked not to any thing that was under his hand; 
because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made 
it to prosper. (Gen. 39:5, 23.) Therefore take unto yon now seven 
bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for 
yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; 
for him will I accept; lest I deal with you after your folly, In that 
ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant 
Job. (Job 42:8.) 

m. God is not a maji, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath 
he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) And they 
rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of 
Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said. Hear me, 
O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your 
God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye 
prosper. (II Chr. 20:20.) For the which cause I also suffer these 
things: nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have be- 
lieved, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have 
committed unto him against that day. (II Tim. 1:12.) 

n. And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island 
was called Melita. (Acts 28:1.)

day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried 
and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 

34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat; 
for this is for your health : for °there shall not 
an hair fall from the head of any of you. 

35 And when he had thus spoken, he took 
bread, and ^gave thanks to God in presence of 
them all: and when he had broken it, he began 
to eat. 

36 Then were they all of good cheer, and 
they also took some meat. 

37 And we were in all in the ship two hun- 
dred threescore and sixteen ssouls. 

38 And when they had eaten enough, they 
lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into 
the sea. 

39 5 And when it was day, they knew not the 
land: but they discovered a certain creek with 
a shore, into the which they were minded, if it 
were possible, to thrust in the ship. 

40 And when they had taken up the anchors, 
they committed themselves unto the sea, and 
loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the 
mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. 

41 And falling into a place where two seas 
met, they ran the ship aground; and the fore- 
part stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but 
the hinder part was broken with the violence of 
the waves. 

42 And the soldiers' counsel r was to kill the 
prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, 
and escape. 

43 But the centurion, -^willing to save Paul, 
kept them from their purpose; and commanded 
that they which could swim should cast them- 
selves first into the sea, and get to land: 

44 And the rest, some on boards, and some 
on broken -pieces of the ship. And so it came 
to pass, that they ^escaped all safe to land.

little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and re- 
ceived us every one, because of the present 
rain, and because of the cold. 

3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of 
sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came 
a Viper out of the heat, and fastened on his 
hand. 

4 And when the barbarians saw the venom- 
ous 4 beast hang on his hand, they said among 
themselves, 6 No doubt this man is a murderer, 
whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet 
vengeance suffereth not to live. 

5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, 
and c felt no harm. 

6 Howbeit they looked when he should have 
swollen, or 'fallen down dead suddenly: but 
after they had looked a great while, and saw 
no harm come to him, they changed their 
minds, and fJ said that he was a god. 

7 In the same quarters were possessions of 
the chief man of the island, whose name was 
Pub'li-us; who received us, and lodged us three 
days courteously. 

8 And it came to pass, that the father of 
Pub'li-us lay sick of a fever and of a bloody 
flux: to whom Paul entered in, and e prayed, 
and laid ''his hands on him, and healed him. 

9 So when this was done, others also, which 
had diseases in the island, came, and were 
healed : 

10 Who also honoured us with many ?hon- 
ours; and when we departed, they laded us 
with such things as were necessary. 

11 7 And after three months we departed in 
a ship of Al-ex-an'dri-a, which had wintered in 
the isle, whose sign was Cas'tor and Pol'lux. 

12 And landing at Syr'a-cuse, we tarried 
there three days. 

13 And from thence we fetched a s compass, 
and came to Rhe'gi-um: and after one day the 
south wind blew, and we came the next day 
to Pu-te'o-li : 

14 Where we found brethren, and were de- 
sired to tarry with them seven days: and so 
we went toward Rome. 

15 And from thence, when the brethren 
heard "of us, they came to meet us as far as 
1 Ap'pi-i fo'rum, and The three taverns: whom 
when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took 
courage. 



o. And Solomon said, If tie will show himself a worthy man, 
there shall not an hair of him fall to the -earth: but if wickedness 
shall be found in him, he shall die. (I Ks. 1:52.) But the very hairs 
of your head are all numbered. (Mat. 10:30.) But even the very hairs 
of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more 
value than many sparrows. (Lu. 12:7.) But there shall not an hair 
of your head perish. (Lu. 21:18.) 

p. As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find 
him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not 
eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards 
they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this 
time ye shall find him. (I Sam. 9:13.) And Jesus took the loaves; 
and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the 
disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as 
much as they would. (Jno. 6:11.) Forbidding to marry, and com- 
manding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be re- 
ceived with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it 
be received with thanksgiving. (I Tim. 4:3, 4.) 

q. Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all 
his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. (Acts 7:14.) And I stood 
upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, 
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, 
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Rev. 13:1.) Which, some- 
time were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited 
in the days of Noah, while the ark was a-preparing, wherein few, that 
is, eight souls, were saved by water. (I Pet. 3:20.) 

r. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender 
mercies of the wicked are cruel. (Prov. 12:10.) Their feet are swift 
to shed blood. (Rom. 3:15.) 

s. When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his ene- 
mies to be at peace with him. (Prov. 16:7.) And when -there arose a 
great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been 
pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and 
to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the 
cai'tle. (Acts 23:10.) 

t. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them 
unto their desired haven. (Ps. 107:30.) 

Chapter 28. 

a. I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians, both to 
the wise and to the unwise. (Rom. 1:14.) Where there is neither 
Greek nor Jew, circumcisicn nor uncircumcision. Barbarian, Scyth- 
ian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. (Col. 3:11.) Let 



brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for 
thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 13:1, 2.) 

b. And. Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these 
Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered 
such things? I tell ycu, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all like- 
wise perish. (Lu. 13:2, 3.) And his disciples asked him, saying, Mas- 
ter, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 
(Jno. 9:2.) 

c. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and 
the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. (Ps. 91:13.) They shall take 
up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt 
them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mk. 
16:18.) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scor % 
pions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by* 
any means hurt you. (Lu. 10:19.) 

d. To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, say- 
ing, This man is the great power of God. (Acts S:10.) And when the 
prople saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying 
in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the like- 
ness of men. (Acts 14:11.) 

e. And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried 
unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's 
soul come into him again. (I Ks. 17:21.) Is any sick among you? 
let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him. 
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord (14). Confess your 
faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be 
healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth 
much. (Js. 5:14, 16.) 

f. While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a 
certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying. My daughter is even now 
dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. (Mat. 
9:1S.) And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his 
hands upon a few sick folk and healed them. (Mk. 6:5.) They shall 
take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not 
hurt them: they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 
(Mk. 16:1S.) And God wroueht special miracles by the hands of Paul. 
(Acts 19:11.) To another u th by the same Spirit; to another the 
gifts of healing by the same Spirit (9). And God hath set some in 
the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after 
that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of 
tongues. (I Cor. 12:9, 28.) 

g. For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring 
night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you,

16 And when we came to Rome, the cen- 
turion delivered the prisoners to the captain 
of the guard: but "Paul was suffered to dwell 
by himself with a soldier that kept him. 

17 "And it came to pass, that after three 
days Paul called the chief of the Jews, to- 
gether: and when, they were come together, he 
said unto them, Men and brethren, though I 
have committed nothing against the people, or 
customs of our fathers, yet was 'I delivered 
prisoner from Je-ru'sa-lem into the hands of 
the R6'man§. 

18 Who, when they had examined me, would 
have let me go, because there was no cause of 
death in me. 

19 But when the Jews spake against it, *I 
was constrained to appeal unto Cse'§ar; not 
that I had ought to accuse my nation of. 

20 For this cause therefore have I called for 
you, to see you, and to speak with you: because 
that '-"for the hope of Is'ra-el I am bound with 
'this chain. 

21 And they said unto him, We neither re- 
ceived letters out of Ju-dse'a concerning thee, 
neither any of the brethren that came shewed 
or spake any harm of thee.

both out of the law of Mo'§e§, and out of the 
prophets, from morning till evening. 

24 And some believed the things which were 
spoken, and some believed not. 

25 And when they agreed not among them- 
selves, they departed, after that Paul had 
spoken one word, Well spake the Ho'ly Ghost 
by E-§a'ias the prophet unto our fathers, 

26 Saying, °Go unto this people, and say, 
Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not under- 
stand; and seeing ye shall see, and not per- 
ceive: 

27 For Pthe heart of this people is waxed 
gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and 
their eyes have they closed; lest they should 
see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, 
and understand with their heart, and should 
be converted, and I should heal them. 

28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the 
salvation of God is sent 'Ainto the Gen'tlle§, and 
that they will hear it. 

29 And when he had said these words, the 
Jew§ departed, and had great reasoning among 
themselves. 

30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his 
own hired house, and received all that came in 
unto him,

they who labor in the word and doctrine. (.1 Tim. 5:17.) 

h. And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him 
have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to 
minister or come unto him. (Acts 24:23.) And the next day we 
touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave 
him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. (Acts 27:3.) 

i. Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and com- 
manded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, 
and what he had done. (Acts 21:33.) 

j. For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy 
of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be norie of these things 
whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I ap-

k. And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise 
made of God unto our fathers: Unto which promise our twelve 
tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which 
hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:6, 7.) 

1. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all

m. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, 



Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in 
Israel: and for a sign which shall be spoken against. (Lu. 2:34.) 
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedi- 
tion among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of 
the sect of the Nazarenes. (Acts 24:5.) Having your conversation 
honest among the Gentiles; that, whereas they speak against you as 
evil doers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, 
glorify God in the day of visitation. (I Pet. 2:12.)

unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Lu. 
24:27.) 

o. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but un- 
derstand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. (Is. 6:9.) Hear 
now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have 
eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. (Jer. 5:21.) 

p. They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their 
eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot under- 
stand. (Is. 44:18.) 

q. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken 
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 
(Mat. 21:43.)

were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 
and they spake the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:31.) So that 
my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 

ROMANS 






XOTE. — The Epistle to the Romans was written by Paul while at Corinth in Greece, in the early spring of 5S A. P. Its general subject is the 
doctrine of the Gospel. It is divided into three sections: (1) The legal relation of man to God as a violator of hi? holy law. whether merely written on 
the hearts as in the case of the heathen, or by external revelation as with the chosen people: (2; it next treats of that legal relation as wholly reversed 
through faith in Christ; (3) the new life which comes as a result of this change of relation. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Paul commendeth his calling to the Ro77ians, 
9 and his desire to come to them. 18 God is 
angry with all manner of sin. 

1 Paul, a servant of Je'sus Christ, called to 
be an apostle, 'separated "unto the ^gospel of 
God, 

2 (Which c he ^ad promised afore by his 
prophets in the holy scriptures,) 

3 Concerning his Son Je'sus Christ our 
Lord, which was made of the seed of Da'vid 
according to the flesh; 

4 And declared to be the Son of God with 
power, according d to the spirit of ^holiness, by 
the resurrection from the dead: 

5 By whom we have received 3 grace and 
apostleship, for obedience to the faith among 
all nations, 'for his name: 

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Je'- 
sus Christ: 

7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, 
called to be saints: 4 Grace -to you and peace 
from God our Father, and the Lord Je'sus 
Christ. 

8 First, 'T thank my God through Je'sus 
Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of 
throughout the whole world. 

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve 
with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that 
without ceasing I make mention of you always 
in my prayers; 

10 Making request, if by any means now at 
length I might have a prosperous journey by 
the will of God to come unto you. 

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart 
unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may 
be established; 

12 That is, that I may be comforted together

me. 

13 Now I would not have you ignorant, breth- 
ren, that 'oftentimes I purposed to come unto 
you, (but was -'let hitherto,) that I might have 
some fruit among you also, even as among other 
Gentiles.

the Bar-ba'ri-ans; both to the wise, and to the 
unwise. 

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to 
preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 

16 For 'I am not ashamed of the gospel of 
Christ : for '"it is the power of God unto salva-

first, and also to the Greek.

revealed from faith 'to faith: as it is written,

heaven against all "ungodliness and "unright- 
eousness of men, who hold the truth in unright-

b. Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, 
preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. (Mk. 1:14.) And the 
soldiers led him away into the hall called Pretorium: and they called

in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached

e. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and 
with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were 
oppressed with the devil: for God was with him. (Acts 10:38.) God 
hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised 
up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my 
Son, this day have I begotten thee. (Acts 13:33.) Because he hath 
appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness 
by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance 
unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:31.)

saints. (Eph. 1:15.) I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. 
(Phil. 1:3.) For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, 
when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it 
not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which 
effectually worketh also in you that believe. (I Thess. 2:13.) But we 
are bound to give thanks alway to God for you. brethren beloved of 
the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation 
through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. (II Thess.

science, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers 
night and day. (II Tim. 1:3.) 

i. But jow having no mere place in these parts, and having a great 
desire these many years to come unto you. (Rom. 15:23.) 

j. After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: 
but the Spirit suffered them not. (Acts 16:7.) Wherefore we would 
have come unto vou, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered 
us. (I Thess. 2:18.) 

k. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for 
necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the 
gospel. (I Cor. 9:16.) 

1. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord. 
nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the 
gospel according to the power of God. (II Tim. 1:8.) 

m. For the preaching of the cress is to them that perish foolish- 
ness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (I. Cor. 1:18.) 

n. But now the righteousness of God without the law is mani- 
fested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets. (Rom. 3:21.) 

o. He that beiieveth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that 
beiieveth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath o* God abide:h 
on him. (Jno. 3:36.) 

p. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now com- 
mandeth all men every whene to repent. (Acts 17:30.)

good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our 
hearts with food and gladness. (Acts 14:17 I 

r. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament show- 
eth his handywork. (Ps. 19:1.) 

s. And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made 
with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them: 
and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen 
that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged 
them, that thev should not do like them. (II Ks. 17:15.)

founded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and 
there is no breath in them. (Jer. 10:14.)

24 Wherefore 'God also gave them up to un- 
cleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, 
to dishonour their own bodies between them- 
selves : 

25 Who changed "the truth of God ^into a 
lie, and worshipped and served the creature 
more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 
Amen. 

26 For this cause God gave them up unto 
vile affections: for even their - women did 
change the natural use into that which is 
against nature: 

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the 
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust 
one toward another; men with men working 
that which is unseemly, and receiving in them- 
selves that recompence of their error which 
was meet. 

28 And even as they did not like to retain 
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to 
a reprobate mind, to do those things which are 
not convenient; 

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, for- 
nication, wickedness, covetousness, malicious- 
ness; full of envy, murder - , debate, deceit, ma- 
lignity; '^whisperers, 

30 "Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, 
proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, diso- 
bedient to parents,

ers, without natural affection, implacable, un- 
merciful : 

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that 
they which commit such things are worthy of 
death, not only do the same, but have pleasure 
in them that do them.

others, cannot excuse themselves, 6 and much 
less escape the judgment of God. 14 The

w. For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in 
we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the 
living and true God. (I Thess. 1:9.) 

x. He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, 
that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right 
hand? (Is. 44:20.) Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of 
Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 
because they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept his 
commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which 
their fathers have walked. (Amos 2:4.) Every m?.n is brutish in his 
knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his 
molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. (Jer. 
10:14.) This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the 
Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. (Jer. 
13:25.) O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the 
day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of 
the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, 
and things wherein there is no profit. (Jer. 16:19.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation 
to them that trouble you. (II Thess. 1:6.) 

h. Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: 
but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. (Prov. 11:21.) 

c. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness 
of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) And that he 
might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, 
which he had afore prepared unto gl6ry. (Rom. 9:23.) How that in a 
great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep pov- 
erty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. (II Cor. 8:2.) But 
my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory 
by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19.) To whom God would make known 
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; 
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Col. 1:27.) Which he shed 
on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. (Tit. 3:6.) 

d. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) 

e. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men 
count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any 
should perish, but that all should come to repentance (9). And account 
that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved 



brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath writ- 
ten unto you. (II Pet. 3: 9, 15.) 

f. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with 
his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 
(Mat. 16:27.) 

g. He that hath an ear. let him hear what the Spirit saith unto 
the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of 
life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (Rev. 2:7.) 

h. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corrup- 
tion; it is raised in incorruption (42). Now this I say, brethren, 
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth 
corruption inherit incorruption (50). For this incorruptible must put on 
incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (I Cor. 15:42, 
50, 53.) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour 
Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and 
immortality to light through the Gospel. (II Tim. 1:10.) 

i. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the reward of 
his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) That they all might be 
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteous- 
ness. (II. Thess. 2:12.) 

j. But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of 
the Gospel. (Phil. 1:17.) For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find 
you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye 
would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, 
whisperings, swellings, tumults. (II Cor. 12:20.) Idolatry, witchcraft, 
hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies. (Gal. 
5:20.) Let nothing be done through strife or vain-glory; but in lowli- 
ness of mind, let each esteem other better than themselves. (Phil. 2:3.) 
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and 
lie not against the truth (14). For where envying and strife is, there is 
confusion and every evil work. (Js. 3:14, 16.) 

k. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the 
house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them 
that obey not the Gospel of God? (I Pet. 4:17.) 

1. That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of 
gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto 
praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 
1:7.) 

m. How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, 
nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work 
of his hands. (Job. 34:19.) 

n. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your 
own selves. (Js. 1:22.)

18 And '^knowest his will, and approvest the 
things that are more excellent, being instructed 
out of the law; 

19 And art confident that thou thyself art a 
guide of the blind, a light of them which are in 
darkness, 

20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of 
babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of 
the truth in the law. 

21 Thou therefore which teachest another, 
teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest 
a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 

22 Thou that sayest a man should not com- 
mit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou 
that abhorrest idols, 'dost thou commit sacri- 
lege? 

23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, 
through breaking the law "dishonourest thou 
God? 

24 For the name of God is "blasphemed 
among the Gen 'tiles, through you, as it is writ- 
ten. 

25 For s circumcision verily profiteth, if thou 
keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the 
law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 

26 Therefore "if 'the uncircumcision keep 
the righteousness of the law, shall not his un- 
circumcision be counted for circumcision? 

27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by 
nature, if it fulfil the law, "judge thee, who by 
the letter and circumcision dost transgress the 
law? 

28 For "he is not a Jew, which is one out- 
wardly; neither is that circumcision, which is 
outward in the flesh : 

29 But he is a Jew, '"which is one inwardly; 
and circumcision is that of the "heart, "'in the 
spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is 
not of men, but of God. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 The Jews' 'prerogative: 3 ivhich they have 
not lost: 9 hoivbeit the law convinceth them 
also of sin: 20 therefore no flesh is justi- 
fied by the laiv, 28 but all, without differ- 
ence, by faith only. 
1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or 

what profit is there of circumcision? 



10. In vs. 17-24 the apostle de- 
clares the ease of the Jew with the 
written law to be parallel to the 
Gentile with the unwritten law. 



11. By disobedience and failure 
to discharge their duty. 



12. Therefore, instead of honoring 
God, they have dishonored him by re- 
viling and implicating him. 



13. That is, because of their past 
lives. 



14. Circumcision was th3 patri- 
archal symbol of purification or in- 
ward regeneration or acceptance of 
the divine covenant; but iu the new 
dispensation this has been supplanted 
by the ordinance of baptism, there- 
fore circumcision is no longer re- 
quired. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 60. 



1. Thus the Jews make their un- 
righteousness the means of bringing 
to man the righteousness of God, 
hence it has accomplished a great 
thing, which — if it were true — would 
make it impossible for Christ to 
judge the world of sin. 



2. In vs. 9-20 the apostle declares 
ill are condemned under the law. 



3. That is, that are righteous. 



4. That is. what proceeds out of 
their mouth is a curse like the pes- 
tilential breath of an open grave. 



5. Fulfilling the law. 



6. That is. justified or hardened. 



7. In vs. 21-31 the apostle de- 
clares justification by faith through 
the atonement made by Christ. 



2 Much every way: chiefly, because that 
"unto them were committed the oracles of God. 

3 For what if 'some did not believe? shall 
their unbelief make the faith of God without 
effect? 

4 God 'forbid : yea, let God be true, but every 
man a liar; as it is written, d That thou might- 
est be justified in thy sayings, and mightest 
overcome when thou art judged. 

5 But if our Unrighteousness 'commend the 
righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is 
God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? ('I 
speak as a man) 

6 God forbid: for then #how shall God judge 
the world? 

7 For if the truth of God hath more abound- 
ed through my lie unto his glory; why yet am 
I also judged as a sinner? 

8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously re- 
ported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us 
do evil, that good may come? whose damnation 
is just. 

9 2 What then? are we better than they? No, 
in no wise: for we have before proved both 
Jew§ and Gen'tile§, that they are all under 
sin; 

10 As it is written, ''There is none righteous, 
no, not one: 

11 There is none that 3 understandeth, there 
is none that seeketh after God. 

12 They are all gone out of the way, they 
are together become unprofitable: there is none 
that doeth good, no, not one. 

13 Their 'throat is an open 4 sepulchre; with 
their tongues they have used deceit; ■'the poi- 
son of asps is under their lips: 

14 Whose A 'mouth is full of cursing and bit- 
terness : 

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways : 

17 And the way of peace have they not 
known : 

18 There 'is no fear of God before their eyes. 

19 Now we know that what things soever the 
law saith, it saith to them who are under the 
law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all 
the world may become guilty before God. 

20 Therefore by the deeds r 'of the law there 
shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for '"by 
the c law is the knowledge of sin. 

21 T But now the righteousness of God with- 
out the law is manifested, being witnessed by 
the law and "the prophets; 



0. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judg- 
ment unto the Son. (Jno. 5:22.) 

p. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof 
teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they 
lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can 
come upon us. (Mic. 3:11.) 

q. And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judg- 
ments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? 
(Dt. 4:8.) 

r. Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, 
Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. (Mai. 3:8.) 

s. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is 
a debtor to do the whole law. (Gal. 5:3.) 

t. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive 
that God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34.) 

u. The men of Nineve shall rise in judgment with this generation, 
and shall condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; 
and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. (Mat. 12:41.) 

v. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to 
our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to 
raise up children unto Abraham. (Mat. 3:9.) 

w. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not 
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in 
the sight of God of great price. (I Pet. 3:4.) 

x. Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; 
not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit 
giveth life. (II Cor. 3:6.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judg- 
ments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? 
(Dt. 4:8.) 

b. For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as unto them: but 
tlif word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in 
them that heard it. (Heb. 4:2.) 

c. Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, 
that thou mayest be righteous? (Job 40:8.) 

d. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy 
sight; that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear 
when thou judgest. (Ps. 51:4.) 



e. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were 
yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:8.) But in all things approving 
ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in 
necessities, in distresses. (II Cor. 6:4.) For behold this selfsame thing, 
that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in 
you, yea, w T hat clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what 
fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! 
In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 
(II Cor. 7:11.) For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I 
make myself a transgressor. (Gal. 2:18.) 

f. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of 
your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to unclean- 
ness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members 
servants to righteousness unto holiness. (Rom. 6:19.) Say I these things 
as a man? or saith not the law the same also? (I Cor. 9:S. ) If after 
the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what ad- 
vantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink: for tomorrow 
we die. (I Cor. 15:32.) Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; 
Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man dis- 
annuleth, or addeth thereto. (Gal. 3:15.) 

g. Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn 
him that is most just? (Job 34:17.) 

h. The fool hath said in his heart.) There is no God. They are cor- 
rupt; they have done abominable works; there is none that doeth good. 
(Ps. 14:1.) 

i. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is 
very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with 
their tongue. (Ps. 5:9.) 

j. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison 
is under their lips. Selah. (Ps. 140:3.) 

k. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his 
tongue is mischief and vanity. (Ps. 10:7.) 

1. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there 
is no fear of God before his eyes. (Ps. 36:1.) 

m. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay. I 
had not known sin but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the 
law had said, Thou shalt not covet. (Rom. 7:7.)

22 Even the righteousness of God which is 
"by faith of Je'sus Christ unto all and upon all 
them that believe: for ^there is no difference: 

23 For all have sinned, and come short of 
the glory of God; 

24 Being justified freely r 4)y his grace 
through 'the redemption that is in Christ Je- 
sus: 

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a pro- 
pitiation through faith *in his blood, to declare 
his righteousness for the remission of sins that 
are past, through the forbearance of God; 

26 To declare, I say, at this time his right- 
eousness: that he might be just, and the justi- 
fier of him which believeth in Je'sus. 

27 Where f is boasting then? It is excluded. 
By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law 
of faith. 

28 Therefore we conclude "that a man is jus- 
tified by faith without the deeds of the law. 

29 Is he 'the God of the Jews only? is he 
not also of the Gen'tlle§? Yes, of the Gen'tiles 
also: 

30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify 
the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision 
through faith. 

31 Do we then make void the law through 
faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 Abraham justified by faith, which was im- 
puted to him for righteousness. 13 By faith 
only he and his seed received the promise. 

1 'What shall we say then that A'bra-ham 
our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath 
found? 

2 For if A'bra-ham were justified* 2 by works, 
he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 

3 For 'what saith the scripture? A'bra-ham 
"believed God, and it was counted unto him for 
righteousness. 

4 Now Ho him that worketh 'is the reward 
not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 



Ch. 4. A. D. 60. 



1. In ch. 4 the apostle states that 
justification by faith was the foun- 
dation of the religion of the Father 
as well as the religion of Christ. 



2. If justified by works he would 
have foundation for boastiDg, but — 
as he was not — he must have been 
justified by faith. , 



3. That is. from the Scriptures 
he proves Abraham's justification to 
have been by faith. 



As a hired man. 



5. In vs. 9-12 the apostle declared 
Abraham was justified by faith only; 
but, being justified 25 years before 
he was circumcised, he was justified 
as a Gentile. 



6. As a machine; therefore, if 
man is a machine, there is no trans- 
gression; and — conversely — if he has 
no transgression, he is a mere ma- 
chine. 



5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth 
on him that justifieth c the ungodly, his faith is 
counted for righteousness. 

6 Even as Da'vid also describeth the blessed- 
ness of the man, unto whom God d imputeth 
righteousness without works, 

7 Saying, e Blessed are they whose iniquities 
are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 

8- Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will 
not impute sin. 

9 5 Cometh this blessedness then upon the 
circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision 
also? for we say that faith was reckoned to 
A'bra-ham for righteousness. 

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was 
in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in 
circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 

11 And ^he received the sign of circumcision, 
a seal of the righteousness of the faith which 
he had yet being uncircumcised : that ^he might 
be the father of all them that believe, though 
they be not circumcised; that righteousness 
might be imputed unto them also: 

12 And the father of circumcision to them 
who are not of the circumcision only, but who 
also walk in the steps of that faith of our fa- 
ther A'bra-ham, which he had being yet uncir- 
cumcised. 

13 For the promise, that he should be the 
''heir of the world, was not to A'bra-ham, or to 
his seed, through the law, but through the 
righteousness of faith. 

14 For 'if they which are of the law be 
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made 
of none effect: 

15 Because the law worketh wrath: for 
where no 'law is, there is no transgression. 

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be 
-'by grace; to the end the promise might be sure 
to all the seed; not to that only which is of the 
law, but to that also which is of the faith of 
A'bra-ham ; /: who is the father of us all, 

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a 



gently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you. (I 
Pet. 1:10.) 

o. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth 
the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Rom. 4:5.) And his 
name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye 
see and know; yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this per- 
fect soundness in the presence of you all. (Acts 3:16.) Knowing that a 
man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus 
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be jus- 
tified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the 
works of the law shall no flesh be justified (1G). I am crucified with 
Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the 
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, 
who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Gal. 2:16, 20.) But the scrip- 
ture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus 
Christ might be given to them that believe. (Gal. 3:22.) In whom we 
have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. (Eph. 
3:12.) 

p. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncir- 
cumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and 
in all. (Col. 3:11.) For there is no difference between the Jew and the 
Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 
(Rom. 10:12.) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor 
free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ 
Jesus. (Gal. 3:28.) 

q. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your- 
selves: it is the gift of God. (Eph. 2:8.) Now to him that worketh 
is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt (4). Therefore it is 
of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end a promise might be sure 
to all the seed; not to that only which is- of the law, but to that also 
which is -of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all. (Rom. 
4:4, 16.) 

r. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness 
of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) In whom 
we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. 
(Col. 1:14.) And for this cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, 
that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that 
were under the first testament, fhey which are called might receive 
the promise of eternal inheritance. (Heb. 9:15.) But of him are ye in 
Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, 
and sanctification, and redemption. (I Cor. 1:30.) 

s. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, 
as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for 
us. (I Cor. 5:7.) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who 
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God. purge 
your conscience from dead works to serve the living God! (14). So 
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that 
look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salva- 
tion. (Heb. 9:14, 28.) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a 
Iamb without blemish and without spot. (I Pet. 1:19.) And from Jesus 
Christ, who is the faithful Witness, and the first-begotten of the dead, 
and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, 
and washed us from our sins in his own blood. (Rev. 1:5.) 



t. That no flesh should glory in his presence. (I Cor. 1:29.) Not of 
works, lest any man should boast. (Eph. 2:9.) 

u. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, 
but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, 
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works 
of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 
(Gal. 2:16.) 

v. Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of 
the Gentiles? (Rom. 9:24.) For there is no difference between the Jew 
and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call 
upon him. (Rom. 10:12.) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for 
his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among 
the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. (Rom. 15:9.) There is neither 
Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male 
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:28.) Then Peter 
opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no re- 
specter of persons. (Acts 10:34.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for 
righteousness. (Gen. 15:6.) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was 
accounted to him for righteousness. (Gal. 3:6.) And the scripture was 
fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto 
him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. (Js. 2:23.) 

b. And if by grace, then is it no more of works; otherwise grace 
is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace; 
otherwise work is no more work. (Rom. 11:6.) 

c. And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God 
of Israel, Your fathers dwelt in the other side of the flood in old time, 
even Terah the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they 
served other gods. (Josh. 24:2.) 

d. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: 
and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR 
RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jer. 23:6.) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, 
who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctifica- 
tion, and redemption. (I Cor. 1:30.) 

e. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is cov- 
ered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, 
and in whose spirit there is no guile. (Ps. 32:1, 2.) 

f. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you 
and thy seed after thee; Every man-child among you shall be circum- 
cised. (Gen. 17:10.) 

g. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this 
house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. (Lu. 19:9.) 

h. In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. (Gen. 
12:3.) And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs 
according to the promise. (Gal. 3:29.) 

i. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: 
but God gave it to Abraham by promise. (Gal. 3:18.) 

j. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your- 
selves: it is the gift of God. (Eph. 2:8.) 

k. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not 
the children of God: hut the children " of the promise are counted for 
the seed. (Rom. 9:8.)

father of many nations,) before him whom he 
believed, even God, who quickeneth the Mead, 
and calleth 'those things which be not as 
though they were. 

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that 
he might become the father of many nations, 
according to that which was spoken, "'So shall 
thy seed be. 

19 And being not weak in faith, he consid- 
ered not his own body now dead, when he was 
about an hundred years old, neither yet the 
deadness of Sa'rah's womb: 

20 He s staggered not at the promise of God 
through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giv- 
ing glory to God; 

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he 
had promised, he was able also to perform. 

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for 
righteousness. 

23 Now "it was not written for "his sake 
alone, that it was imputed to him; 

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be im- 
puted, if we believe °on him that raised up Je'- 
sus our Lord from the dead; 

25 Who Pwas "delivered for our offences, and 
«was raised "again for our justification. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 Being justified by faith, we have peace with 
God 2 and joy in our hope. 12 As sin and 
death came by Adam, 17 so much more 
righteousness and life by Jesus Christ. 20 
Where sin abounded, grace did superabound. 

1 Therefore 'being justified by faith, we have 
^peace wvith God through our Lord Je'sus 
Christ: 

2 6 By whom also we c have access by faith 
into this grace ''wherein we stand, and e rejoice 
in hope of the glory of God. 

3 And not only so, but 'we glory in tribula- 
tions also: knowing that tribulation worketh 
patience;

of Abraham and Sarah are here al- 
luded to. as a type of the resurrec-

1. As a result of the justification 
stated in vs. 23-25, ch. 4. 



2. If justified, guilt and the 
wrath of God are removed, and peace 
takes their place. 



3. Lit., endurance worketh approv- 
al. 



4. That is. our hope in Christ will 
never disappoint or b.ing us to 



5. A just man. 

6. Not only just, hut distinguish- 
ed for goodness. 



7. The human world; as by Satan 
sin entered the physical world before 
the day of Adam. 



8. As sin was imputed during the 
patriarchal age before the law of 
Moses, there must then have been 
a law which was the law of God 
on the heart. 



4 And patience, 'experience; and experience, 
hope: 

5 And »hope maketh 4 not ashamed; ''because 
the love of God is shed 'abroad in our hearts 
by the Ho'ly Ghost which is given unto us. 

6 For when we were yet without strength, in 
due time Christ died for the ungodly. 

7 For scarcely for a "righteous man will one 
die: yet peradventure for a good °man some 
would even dare to die. 

8 But J'God commendeth his love toward us, 
in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died 
for us. 

9 Much more then, being now justified fr by 
his blood, we shall be saved from wrath 
through him. 

10 For if, when we were enemies, we 'were 
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much 
more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by 
his life. 

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God 
through our Lord Je'sus Christ, by whom we 
have now received the atonement. 

12 Wherefore, as '"by one man sin entered 
'into the world, and death by sin; and so death 
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 

13 (For until the law sin was in the world: 
but "sin is not "imputed when there is no law. 

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Ad'am 
to M5'§e§, even over them that had not sinned 
after the similitude of Ad'am's transgression, 
who is the figure of him that was to come. 

15 But not as the offence, so also is the free 
gift. For if through the offence of one many 
be dead, much more the grace of God, and the 
gift by grace, which is by one man, Je'sus 
Christ, hath abounded °unto many. 

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so 
is the gift: for the judgment was by one to 
condemnation, but the free gift is of many of- 
fences unto justification. 

17 For if by one man's offence death reigned 



1. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, 
hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought 
things that are. (I Cor. 1:2S.) Which in time past were not a people, 
but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now 
have obtained mercy. (I Pet. 2:10.) 

m. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward 
heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he 
said unto them, So shall thy seed be. (Gen. 15:5.) 

n. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and 
they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world 
are come. (I Cor. 10:11.) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instuction 
in righteousness. (II Tim. 3:16.) For whatsoever things were written 
r.foretime were written for our learning: that we through patience and 
comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (Rom. 15:4.) For it is 
written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the 
ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? (I Cor. 
9:9.) 

o. Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, 
and gave him* glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. (I Pet. 
1:21.) 

p. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for 
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with 
his stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) So Christ was once offered to 
bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear 
the second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:2S.) For when we 
were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly 
(6). But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were 
yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:6, S.) I am crucified with 
Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the 
l'.fe which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, 
who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Gal. 2:20.) 

q. And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in 
vour sins. (I Cor. 15:17.) Who by him do believe in God, that raised 
him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope 
might be in God. (I Pet. 1:21.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of 
rghteousness, quietness and assurance for ever. (Is. 32:17.) These 
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In 

he world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have over- 
come the world. (Jno. 16:33.) For he is our peace, who hath made 
both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between 
us. (Eph. 2:14.) 

b. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be 
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (Jno. 10:9.) Jesus 
saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man 
i ometh unto the Father, but by me. (Jno. 14:6.) In whom we have 
boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. (Eph. 3:12.) 

c. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the 
Father. (Eph. 2:18.) In whom we have boldness and access with con- 
fidence by the faith of him. (Eph. 3:12.) Having therefore, brethren, 
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. (Heb. 10:19.) 
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, 



that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but 
quickened by the Spirit. (I Pet. 3:18.) 

d. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I 
preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand. 
(I Cor. 15:1.) 

e. But Christ as a Son over his own house; whose house are we, 
if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto 
the end. (Heb. 3:6.) 

f. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, 
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Mat. 
5:11.) 

g. According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in noth- 
ing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now 
also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by 
death. (Phil. 1:20.) Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may 
live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. (Ps. 119:116.) And what- 
soever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my 
heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor: and this 
was my portion of all my labor. (Ecc. 2:10.) As it is written, Behold, 
I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever be- 
lieveth on him shall not be ashamed. (Rom. 9:33.) That by two im- 
mutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might 
have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon 
the hope set before us. (Heb. 6:18.) 

h. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in 
our hearts. (II Cor. 1:22.) And because ye are sons, God hath sent 
forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 
(Gal. 4:6.) 

i. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having 
received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed 
forth this, which ye now see and hear. (Acts 2:33.) And they of the 
circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with 
Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the 
Holy Ghost. (Acts 10:45.) Which he shed on us abundantly through 
Jesus Christ our Saviour. (Tit. 3:6.) And because ye are sons, God 
hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, 
Father. (Gal. 4:6.) 

j. Greater love hath no man that this, that a man lay down his life 
for his friends. (Jno. 15:13.) 

k. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fel- 
lowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son 
cleanseth us from all sin. (I Jno. 1:7.) 

1. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself 
by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation: 
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, 
not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us 
the word of reconciliation. (II Cor. 5:18, 19.) 

m. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also 
the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. (Ez. 
18:4.) For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrec- 
tion of the dead. (I Cor. 15:21.) 

n. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin 
is the transgression of the law. (I Jno. 3:4.) 

o. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:

by one; much more they which receive abun- 
dance of grace and of the gift of righteousness 
shall reign in life by one, Je'§us Christ.) 

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judg- 
ment came upon all men to condemnation ; even 
so by the righteousness of one the free gift 
came upon ^all men unto justification "of life. 

19 For as by one man's disobedience many 
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one 
shall many be made righteous. 

20 Moreover «the 10 law entered, that the of- 
fence might abound. But where sin abounded, 
grace did r much more abound: 

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even 
so might grace reign through righteousness 
unto eternal life by Je'§us Christ our Lord. 

CHAPTER 6. 

1 We may not live in sin. 12 Let not sin reign 
any more, 23 for death is the wages of sin. 

1 What shall we say then? Shall we con- 
tinue in sin, that grace may abound? 

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead 
to a sin, live any longer therein? 

3 Know ye not, that 6 so many of us as were 
baptized into J Je'sus Christ were c baptized into 
his death? 

4 Therefore we are d buried with him by bap- 
tism 2 into death : that like as c Christ was raised 
up from the dead by the glory of the Father, 
feven so we also should walk in "newness 3 of 
life. 

5 For ''if we have been 'planted together in 
the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the 
likeness of r his resurrection : 

6 Knowing this, that 'our old man is cruci- 
fied with him, that the •'body of sin might be 



9. That is, the justification re- 
sults in salvation (of soul) unless 
forfeited by siu. 

10. That is, entered as a sub- 
ordinate or afterthought, as a con- 
sequence of sin.

inward cleansing and consecration; 
II. A symbolical act of obedience to

4. That is, since Christ's death 
and resurrection are inseparable in 
their efficacy, our union with him in 
the one carries with it the privilege 
of the other. 



5. Unregencrate, sinful self. 
0. In Christ's death.

'destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve 
sin. 

7 For he that is dead 7 is freed from sin. 

8 Now fc if we be dead s with Christ, we believe 
that we shall also live ''with him : 

9 Knowing that 'Christ being raised from 
the dead dieth no more; death hath no more 
dominion over him. 

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin 
once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be 
dead "'indeed unto sin, but alive unto God 
through Je'§us Christ our Lord. 

12 llJ Let "not sin therefore reign in your mor- 
tal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts 
thereof. 

13 Neither yield ye your members as instru- 
ments of "unrighteousness unto sin: but yield 
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive 
from the dead, and your members as instru- 
ments of righteousness unto God. 

14 For °sin shall not have dominion over 
you: for ye are not under the law, but under 
grace. 

15 What then? shall we sin, ^because we are 
not under the law, but under grace? God for- 
bid. 

16 Know f jye not, that to whom ye yield your- 
selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to 
whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of 
obedience unto righteousness? 

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the 
servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the 
heart that form of doctrine which was deliv- 
ered you. 

18 Being 'then made free from sin, ye be- 
came the servants of righteousness. 



by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall 
bear their iniquities. (Is. 53:11.) 

p. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto 
me. (Jno. 12:32.) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than 
the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; 
that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Heb. 
2:9.) 

q. If I had not conle and spoken unto them, they had not had siu: 
but now they have no cloak for their sin. (Jno. 15:22.) Wherefore then 
serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed 
should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by 
angels in the hand of a mediator. (Gal. 3:19.) 

r. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are for- 
given; for she. loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same 
loveth little. (Lu. 7:47.) But by the grace of God I am what I am: 
and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I 
labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God 
which was with me. (I Cor. 15:10.) Neither give heed to fables and 
endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edify- 
ing which is in faith: so do. (I Tim. 1:4.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto 
the world. (Gal. 6:14.) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent 
by him for the punishment of evil doers, and for the praise of them 
that do well. (I Pet. 2:14.) 

b. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Col. 
3:3.) 

c. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the 
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Mat. 
28:19.) Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if 
the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? 
(I Cor. 15:29.) For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ 
have put on Christ. (Gal. 3:27.) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, 
and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the 
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 
(Acts 2:38.) (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they 
were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) (Acts 8:16.) When they 
heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 
19:5.) 

d. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him 
through the faith of the operation of God, who had raised him from 
the dead. (Col. 2:12.) 

e. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up 
us by his own power. (I Cor. 6:14.) 

f. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old 
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (II Cor. 
5:17.) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor 
uncircumcision, but a new creature. (Gal. 6:15.) And have put on the 
new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that 
created him. (Col. 3:10.) Wherefore lift up the hands which hang 
down, and the feeble knees. (Heb. 12:12.) 

g. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein 
we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the 
oldness of the letter. (Rom. 7:6.) Therefore, if any man be in Christ, 
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all' things 
are become new. (II Cor. 5:17.) For in Christ Jesus neither circum- 
cision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 
(Gal. 6:15.) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in 
knowledge after the image of him that created him. (Col. 3:10.) 



h. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and 
the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto hio death. 
(Phil. 3:10.) 

i. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but 
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live 
by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 
(Gal. 2:20.) 

j. In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made 
without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the 
circumcision of Christ. (Col. 2:11.) 

k. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see 
me: because I live, ye shall live also. (Jno. 14:19.) It is a faithful 
saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. (II 
Tim. 2:11.) 

1. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for 
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Rev. 1:18.) 

m. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law 
by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to 
him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto 
God (4). But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead 
wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and 
not in the oldness of the letter. (Rom. 7:4, 6.) For I through the law 
am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. (Gal. 2:19.) Where- 
fore, if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, 
as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances? (Col. 2:20.) 
For ye are dead, and your life in hid with Christ in God. (Col. 3:3.) 
Who his own -self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, 
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes 
ye were healed. (I Pet. 2:24.) 

n. That ye put off, concerning the former conversation, the old man, 
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. (Eph. 4:22.) 

o. He will turn again, he will have compassion 'upon us; he will 
subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths 
of the sea. (Mic. 7:19.) But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under 
the law. (Gal. 5:18.) 

p. To them that are without law, as without law, (being not with- 
out law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them 
that are without law. (I Cor. 9:21.) 

q. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye 
not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to 
God against Israel, saying. (Rom. 11:2.) Know ye not that ye are 
the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (I Cor. 
3:16.) Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if 
the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest 
matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more 
things that pertain to this life! (2, 3). Know ye not that the unright- 
eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither 
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers 
of themselves with mankind (9). Know ye not that your bodies are the 
members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make 
them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What! know ye not that 
he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall 
be one flesh (15, 16). What! know ye not that your body is the temple 
of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are 
not your own? (I Cor. 6:2, 3, 9, 15, 16, 19.) Do ye not know that they 
which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and 
they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? (13). Know 
ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the 
prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (I Cor. 9:13, 24.1 

r. That he would grant unto us, that we, being delivered out of

19 I speak after the manner of men because 
of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have 
yielded your members servants to uncleanness 
and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now 
yield your members servants to righteousness 
unto holiness. 

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye 
were free from righteousness. 

21 What fruit had ye then in those things 
whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of 
those things is death. 

22 But now being made free from sin, and 
become servants to God, ye have your fruit 
unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 

23 For the *'wages "of sin is death; but the 
? gift of - God is eternal life through Je'sus 
Christ our Lord. 

CHAPTER 7. 
1 No laiv hath power over a man longer than 
he liveth. 4 But we are dead to the law. 1 
Yet is not the law sin, 12 but holy, just, 
good, 16 as I acknowledge, who am grieved 
because I cannot keep it. 

1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to 
them that know the law,) how that the law 
hath dominion over a man as long as he liv- 
eth? 

2 For a the woman which hath an husband is 
bound by the law to her husband so long as he 
liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is 
loosed from the law of her husband. 

3 So then 6 if, while her husband liveth, she 
be married to another man, she shall be called 
an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she 
is free from that law; so that she is no adulter- 
ess, though she be married to another man. 

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are be- 
come °dead to the law by the body of Christ; 
that ye should be ^married to another, even to 
him who is raised from the dead, that we 
should bring forth fruit unto God. 

5 For when we were in the 'flesh, the Tno- 
tions of sins, which were by the law, did work 
in our members e to bring forth fruit unto 
death. 

6 But now we are delivered from the law, 
that being dead wherein we were held ; that we 
should serve 'in newness of spirit, and not in 
the oldness of the letter. 

7 3 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? 



12. That is. the hire or wages 
the master ot sin pays his servants 
is death. 



Ch. 7. A. D. 60. 



1. Before we were converted. 



2. Passion of sin. 



3. In vs. 7-25 the apostle declares 
the Christian to be free from the 
law, as he finds his pleasure in do- 
ing the will of Christ. 



4. Shall not entertain the evil de- 
sires or inclinations of the heart. 



5. That is. by the law all manner 
of sin was made conscious or visible. 



6 Alive to sin. 



7. Sin became conscious and re- 
vealed his true self. 



S. In vs. 13-25 the apostles show 
that the law is not responsible for 
the punishment of man. but that it 
reveals sin, whereby comes death. 



0. That is. because of sin. that 
which I would do I do not, for sin 
restrains the better nature. 



If 



Sin which impels him. 



God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by 
the law: for I had not known lust, except the 
law had said, Thou shalt not 4 covet. 

8 But sin, taking occasion by the command- 
ment, wrought in me all manner of 5 concupis- 
cence. For without the law sin was dead. 

9 For I was c alive without the law once: but 
when the commandment came, 7 sin revived, and 
I died. 

10 And the commandment, which was ^or- 
dained to life, I found to be unto death. 

11 For sin, taking occasion by the command- 
ment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 

12 Wherefore ''the law is holy, and the com- 
mandment holy, and just, and good. 

13 'Was then that which is good made death 
unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might 
appear sin, working death in me by that which 
is good; that sin by the commandment might 
become exceeding sinful. 

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: 
but I am carnal, 'sold under sin. 

15 For that which I do T allow not: for 
what fl would, that do I not; but what I hate, 
that do I. 

16 If then I do that which I would not, I con- 
sent unto the law that it is good. 

17 Now then it is no more I 10 that do it, but 
sin that dwelleth in me. 

18 For I know that l "in me (that is, in my 
flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is 
present with me; but how to perform that 
which is good I find not. 

19 For the good that I would I do not: but 
the evil which I would not, that I do. 

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no 
more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do 
good, evil is present with me. 

22 For I delight in the law of God after the 
'inward man: 

23 But I see '"another law in my members, 
warring against the law of my mind, and bring- 
ing me into captivity to the law of sin which is 
in my members. 

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall de- 
liver me from the body of this death? 

25 I thank God "through Je'sus Christ our 
Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve 
the law of God; but with the flesh the law of 
sin. 



the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear. In holiness and 
righteousness before him, all the days of our life. (Lu. 1:74, 75.) 
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, 
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (Gal. 5:1.) As 
free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as 
the servants of God. (I Pet. 2:16.) 

s. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt 
not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely 
die. (Gen. 2:17.) For to be carnally minded is death: but to be spirit- 
ually minded is life and' peace (6). For if ye live after the flesh, ye 
shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, 
ye shall live. (Rom. S:6, 13.) For he that soweth to his flesh shall 
of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of 
the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Gal. 6:S.) 

t. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten ".on, 
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlast- 
ing life. (Jno. 3:16.) « 

Chapter 7. 

a. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: 
but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom 
she will: only in the Lord. (I Cor. 7:39.) 

b. But I say unto you. That whosoever shall put away his wife, 
saving for the cause of fornication, eauseth her to commit adultery: 
and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 
(Mat. 5:32.) 

c. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, 
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose 
stripes ye were healed. (I Pet. 2:24.) For I through the law am dead 
to the law, that I might live unto God. (Gal. 2:19.) 

d. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth 
thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kind- 
ness, and in mercies. (Hos. 2:19.) For I am jealous over you with 
godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may 
present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. (II Cor. 11:2.) 

e. Then, when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, 
when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (Js. 1:15.) 

f. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him 
in spirit and in truth. (Jno. 4:24.) Who also hath made us able min- 
isters of the new testament: not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the 
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (II Cor. 3:6.) And have put 
nn the new man. which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him 
that created him. (Col. :!:1" 1 

g. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which 



if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord. (Lev. 1S:5.) And I 
gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a 
man do, he shall even live in them. (Ez. 20:11.) But if the ministra- 
tion of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that 
the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses 
for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away. 
(II Cor. 3:7.) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth 
them shall live in them. (Gal. 3:12.) And he said unto him, Thou hast 
answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. (Lu. 10:28.) 

h. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the com- 
mandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. (Ps. 19:8.) But 
we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully. (I Tim. 1:8.) 

i. And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? 
And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself 
to work evil in the sight of the Lord (20). But there w r as none like 
unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the si^ht of 
the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. (I Ks. 21:20, 25.) 

j. This I say then. Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the 
lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit 
against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that 
ye cannot do the things that ye would. (Gal. 5:16, 17.) 

k. And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his 
heart. I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake: for the 
imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again 
smite any more every thing living, as I have done. (Gen. S:21.) Be- 
hold. I was shapen in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me. 
(Ps. 51:5.) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately 
wicked: who can know it? (Jer. 17:9.) 

1. For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man per- 
ish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (II Cor. 4:16.) Lie 
not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his 
deeds. (Col. 3:9.) 

m. For the flesh lustel.h against the Spirit., and the Spirit against 
the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye 
cannot do the things that ye would. (Gal. 5:17.) From whence come 
wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts 
that war in your members? (Js. 4:1.) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as 
strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against 
the soul. (I Pet. 2:11.) I speak after the manner of men because of 
the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members serv- 
ants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity: even so now yield 
your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. (Rom. 6:19.)

CHAPTER 8. 
1 They that are in Christ are free from con- 
demnation. 5, 13 What harm cometh of the 
flesh, 6, 14 and what good of the Spirit. 

1 J There is therefore now no Condemnation 
to them which are in Christ Je'§us, who walk 
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

2 For the law of a the Spirit of life in Christ 
Je'sus hath made me free from the law of sin 
and death. 

3 For 6 what the law could not do, in that it 
was weak through the flesh, God sending his 
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and 3 for 
sin, condemned sin in the flesh : 

4 That the righteousness of the 4 law might 
be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, 
but after the Spirit. 

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind 
the things of the flesh ; but they that are after 
the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but 
to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity 5 against 
God: for it is not subject to the law of God, 
neither indeed can be. 

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot 
please God. 

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in c the 
Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in 
you. Now if any man have not d the Spirit of 
Christ, he is none of his. 

10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead 
because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of 
righteousness. 

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up 
Je'sus from the dead dwell in you, 'he that 
raised up Christ from the dead shall also quick- 
en your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwell- 
eth in you. 

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not 
to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die : 
but if ye through the Spirit do °mortify the 
deeds of the body, ye shall live. 



Ch. 8. A. D. CO. 



1. In this ch. the apostle brings 
the whole argument of the other sev- 
en ehs. into a summary which devel- 
ops the completeness of life in Christ. 



2. No condemnation 
justification. 



3. On account of. 



because of 



4. That is, the righteousness or 
ight doing required by the law. 



5. Through the pampered carnal 
desires of the flesh one may be un- 
consciously at enmity with Christ. 



6. Kill or destroy them so far as 
they are at enmity with God. 



7. The analyzed prayer of 1 
heathen is always for temporal bless 
ings. 



14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of 
God, they are the sons t'of God. 

15 For fye have not received the spirit of 
bondage again to fear; but ye have received the 
Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Ab'ba, 
Father. 

16 ''The Spirit itself beareth witness with 
our spirit, that we are the children of God: 

17 And if children, 'then heirs; heirs ■'of 
God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be ,i 'that 
we suffer with him, that we may be also glori- 
fied together. 

18 For I reckon that 'the sufferings of this 
present time are not worthy to be compared 
with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 

19 For "'the earnest expectation of the crea- 
ture waiteth for the manifestation "of the sons 
of Gcd. 

20 For the creature was made subject to 
vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who 
hath subjected the same in hope, 

21 Because the creature itself also shall be 
delivered from the bondage of corruption into 
the glorious liberty of the children of God. 

22 For we know that the whole creation 
groaneth and travaileth in pain together until 
now. 

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, 
which have °the firstfruits of the Spirit, even 
we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting 
for Pthe adoption, to wit, the redemption of 
our body. 

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that 
ois seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, 
why doth he yet hope for? 

25 But if we hope for that we see not, then 
do we with patience wait for it. 

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our in- 
firmities : for ''we know not what we 'should 
pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself 
maketh intercession for us with groanings 
which cannot be uttered. 

27 And s he that searcheth the hearts know- 
eth what is the mind of the Spirit, because 



Lord Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 15:57.) For whatsoever is born of God 
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the 
world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he 
that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (I Jno. 5:4, 5.) 
Chapter S. 

a. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living 
soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (I Cor. 15:45.) Who 
also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, 
but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (II 
Cor. 3:6.) 

b. For there is verily a disannuling of the commandment going 
before, for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. (Heb. 7:18.) 

c. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit 
of God dwelleth in you? (I Cor. 3:16.) And what agreement hath the 
temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as 
God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be 
their God, and they shall be my people. (II Cor. 6:16.) 

d. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God; for God 
giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. (Jno. 3:34.) Searching 
what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ which was in them 
did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and 
the glory that should follow. (I Pet. 1:11.) 

e. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us 
by his own power. (I Cor. 6:14.) 

f. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their life- 
time subject to bondage. (Heb. 2:15.) 

g. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand 
of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered: and it shall come 
to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my 
people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living 
God. (Hos. 1:10.) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be 
called the children of God. (Mat. 5:9.) But as many as received him, 
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that 
believe on his name. (Jno. 1:12.) And will be a Father unto you, and 
ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (II Cor. 
6:18.) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 
(Gal. 3:26.) Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon 
us, that we should be called the sons of God! therefore the world know- 
eth us not, because it knew him not. (I Jno. 3:1.) He that overcometh 
shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 
(Rev. 21:7.) 

h. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit 
in our hearts. (II Cor. 1:22.) 

i. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but "a son; and if a son, 
then an heir of God through Christ. (Gal. 4:7.) And now, brethren, 
I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to 
build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are 
sanctified. (Acts 20:32.) And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's 
seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Gal. 3:29.) That the Gentiles 
should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his 



promise in Christ by the Gospel. (Eph. 3:6.) That, being justified by 
his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal 
life. (Tit. 3:7.) Are they not all ministeiing spirits, sent forth to 
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14.) He 
that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he 
shall be my son. (Rev. 21:7.) 

j. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, 
and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgive- 
ness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith 
that is in me. (Acts 26:18,) 

k. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation 
also aboundeth by Christ (5). And our hope of you is stedfast, know- 
ing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the 
consolation. (II Cor. 1:5, 7.) That I may know him, and the power of 
his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made con- 
formable unto his death. (Phil. 3:10.) If we suffer, we shall also reign 
with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (II Tim". 2:12.) But 
rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when 
his glorv shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 
(I Pet. 4:13.) 

1. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for 
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (II Cor. 4:17.) 

m. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens 
and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (II Pet. 3:13.) 

n. So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our 
Lord Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 1:7.) When Christ, who is our life, shall 
appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Col. 3:4.) That 
the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that 
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and 
honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ (7). Wherefore gird 
up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace 
that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (I 
Pet. 1:7, 13.) Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet 
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we 
shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) 

0. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, 
who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. (II Cor. 5:5.) 

p. Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the 
angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrec- 
tion. (Lu. 20:36.) 

q. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen. (Heb. 11:1.) 

r. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye 
able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with 
the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are 
able. (Mat. 20:22.) 

s. But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the 
Gospel, even so we speak; not as" pleasing men, but God, which trieth 
our hearts. (I Thess. 2:4.)

he maketh intercession for the saints 'accord- 
ing to the will of God. 

28 And we know that s all "things work to- 
gether for good to them that love 9 God, to 
them 'who are the called according to his pur- 
pose. 

29 For whom ,(: he did "foreknow, he also did 
"predestinate J to be conformed to the image of 
his Son, that y he might be the firstborn among 
many brethren. 

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them 
he also -called: and whom he called, them he 
also justified: and aa whom he justified, them 
he also glorified. 

31 What shall we then say to these things? 
If God be for us, who can be against us? 

32 He that spared not his own Son, but de- 
livered him up for us all, how shall he not 
with him also freely give us all things? 

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of 
God's elect? bb lt is God that justifieth. 

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ 
that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who 
is even at the right hand of God, who also 
maketh intercession for us. 

35 Who shall separate us from the love "of 
Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or perse- 
cution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or 
sword? 

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are 
killed all the day long; we are accounted as 
sheep for the slaughter. 

37 Nay, ce in all these things we are more 
than conquerors through him that loved us. 

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, 
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor 
powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other crea- 
ture, dd shall be able to "separate us from the 
love of God, which is in Christ Je'sus our Lord. 

CHAPTER 9. 

1 Paul is sorry for the Jews. 7 All the seed 
of Abraham were not the children of the 
promise. 25 The calling of the Gentiles and 
rejecting of the Jews were foretold. 
1 I 'say the truth in Christ, I 2 lie not, my 

conscience also bearing me witness in the Ho ly 

Ghost, 



8. If Christ is for us, all other 
things co-operate for our ultimate 
good. 

9. Just so loug and no longer. 

10. As God's nature is antecedent 
to his acts, therefore his knowledge. 
If God did not have foreknowledge, 
he would necessarily act in complete 
ignorance, and — so far as he would 
know — the very laws of nature might 
bring the spheres of the universe to- 
gether with a terrific clash instead 
of holding them in perfect harmony 
with one another. 

11. As a man walking we see 
his motion and understand his action 
which is caused by his moving; but 
his moving is not the result of our 
seeing and knowing. According to 
this same reasoning, is the predes- 
tination of God. 

12. That is, nothing can separate 
Christ's love from us. We may sep- 
arate ourselves from him, but the 
act is upon our part. 

Ch. 9. A. D. 60. 

1. In this ch. the apostle shows 
that God acted impartially, and to 
the best interests of the human race, 
when he established free agency 
based on faith, even though such a 
system should result in the downfall 
of an unbelieving Israel. 

2. Which the Jews had charged 
him with doing. 

3. His people of v. 3. 

4. Which made with Abraham. 
Isaac and Jacob. 

5. Of the Messiah. 

6. In vs. 6-13 the apostle shows 
that the promise was made to the 
seed by faith and not by birth. 

7. Will serve. 

8. In vs. 14-18 Paul shows that 
God had told Moses that he .would 
reward faith and righteousness and 
punish persistent unbelief and wick- 
edness. 

9. The Jews desired God to accept 
them and reject all other nations, 
but he wills to accept all true be- 
lievers in every nation. 



2 That I have great heaviness and continual 
sorrow in my heart. 

3 For "I could wish that myself were ac- 
cursed from Christ for my brethren, my kins- 
men according to the flesh: 

4 Who ''are Is'ra-el-Ites; c to whom pertain- 
eth the adoption, and the glory, and d the "cove- 
nants, and the giving of the law, and the serv- 
ice of God, and 'the "promises; 

5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as 
concerning the flesh Christ came, 'who is over 
all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 

6 °Not as though the word of God hath taken 
none effect. For ^they are not all is'ra-el, 
which are of Is'ra-el : 

7 Neither, ''because they are the seed of 
A'bra-ham, are they all children: but, In 'I'§aac 
shall thy seed be called. 

8 That is, They which are the children of 
the flesh, these are not the children of God: 
but the children of the promise are counted 
for the seed. 

9 For this is the word of promise, J At this 
time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. 

10 And not only this; but when ^'Re-bec'ca 
also had conceived by one, even by our father 
I'§aac; 

11 (For the children being 'not yet born, 
neither having done any good or evil, that the 
purpose of God according to election might 
stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 

12 It was said unto her, The elder shall 
7 serve the younger. 

13 As it is written, '"Ja'cob have I loved, 
but E'sau have I hated. 

14 s What shall we say then? Is there un- 
righteousness with God? God forbid. 

15 For he saith to Mo'ses, I ,J will have mercy 
on whom I will have mercy, and I will have 
compassion on whom I will have compassion. 

16 So "then it is not of him that willeth, nor 
of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth 
mercy. 

17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, 
Even °for this same purpose have I raised 
thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, 
and that my name might be declared through- 
out all the earth. 

18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he 



t. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask 
any thing according to his will, he heareth us. (I Jno. 5:14.) 

u. But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it 
unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people 
alive. (Gen. 50:20.) 

v. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not 
according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, 
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. (II Tim. 
1:9.) 

w. And. Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me. Bring 
up this people; and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send 
with me: yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also 
found grace in my sight. (Ex. 33:12.) For the Lord knoweth the way 
of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. (Ps. 1:6.) 

x. And the glory which thou gavest me 1 have given them; that 
they may be one, even as we are one. (Jno. 17:22.) 

y. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the begin- 
ning, the first-born from the dead; that in all things he might have 
the pre-eminence. (Col. 1:18.) 

z. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one 
hope of your calling. (Eph. 4:4.) 

aa. And such were some of you; but ye are washed, but ye are 
sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by 
the Spirit of our God. (I Cor. 6:11.) 

bb. He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let 
us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. 
(Is. 50:8.) 

cc. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this 
is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (I Jno. 5:4.) 

dd. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, 
neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. (Jno. 10:28.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin — ; and if not, blot me, I 
pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. (Ex. 32:32.) 

b. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord 
thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above 
all people that are upon the face of the earth. (Dt. 7:6.) 

c. Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut 
yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 
(Dt. 14:1.) 

d. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will 
multiply thee exceedingly. (Gen. 17:2.) Neither with you only do I 
make this covenant and this oath. (Dt. 29:14.) That at that time ye 
were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, 



and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and 
without God in the world. (Eph. 2:12.) To perform the mercy prom- 
ised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant. (Lu. 1:72.) 
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God 
made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all 
the kindreds of the earth be blessed. (Acts 3:25.) 

e. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David 
to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have 
found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall 
fulfil all my will. (Acts 13:22.) 

f. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: 
and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR 
RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jer. 23:6.) In the beginning was the Word, and 
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (Jno. 1:1.) But unto 
the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre 
of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (Heb. 1:8.) 

g. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, 
and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. (Gal. 6:16.)" 

h. But he who was of the bond- woman was born after the flesh; 
but he of the free woman was by promise. (Gal. 4:23.) 

i. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight 
because of the law, and because of thy bond- woman; in all that Sarah 
hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thv seed 
be called. (Gen. 21:12.) 

j. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the 
time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard 
it in the tent door, which was behind him. (Gen. 18:10.) 

k. And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was bar- 
ren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife con- 
ceived. (Gen. 25:21.) 

1. Accordingly as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation 
of the world, that we should be holv and without blame before him in 
love. (Eph. 1:4.) 

m. If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and 
they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if 
the first-born son be hers that was hated. (Dt. 21:15.) I have loved 
you, saith the Lord: yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not 
Esau Jacob's brother? said the Lord: yet I loved Jacob, And I hated 
Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons 
of the wilderness. (Mai. 1:2, 3.) 

n. But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath 
pleased. (Ps. 115:3.) 

o. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up. for to 
show in thee my power: and that mv name may be declared throughout 
all the earth. (Ex. 9:16.)

will have mercy, and whom he will he Phard- 
eneth. 

19 w Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth 
he yet find fault? For ''who hath resisted his 
will? 

20 Nay but, man, who art thou that re- 
pliest against God? 'Shall the thing formed 
say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made 
me thus? 

21 Hath not the -'potter power over the clay, 
of the same lamp to make f one vessel unto 
honour, and another unto dishonour? 

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, 
and to make his power known, endured with 
much longsuffering "the vessels of wrath fit- 
ted to destruction: 

23 And that he might make known the 
riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, 
which he had afore prepared unto glory, 

24 "Even us, whom he hath called, not of 
the Jews, only, but also of the Gen'tile§? • 

25 As he saith also in 12 0'§ee, l 'I will call 
them my people, which were not my people; 
and her beloved, which was not beloved. 

26 "And it shall come to pass, that in the 
place where it was said unto them, Ye are not 
my people; there shall they be called the chil- 
dren of the living God. 

27 E-§a'ias also crieth concerning Is'ra-el, 
Though -'the number of the children of Is'ra-el 
be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be 
saved : 

28 For he will finish the work, and cut it 
short in righteousness: because a "short work 
will the Lord make upon the earth. 

29 And as E-§a'ias said before, Except the 
s Lord of Sab'a-oth had left us a seed, ""we had 
been as Sod'om-a, and been made like unto 
Go-mor'rha. 

30 "What shall "we say then? That the 
Gen'tlle§, which followed not after righteous- 
ness-, have attained to righteousness, even the 
righteousness which 'is of "faith. 

31 But Is'ra-el, which followed after the law 
of righteousness, hath not attained to the law 
of righteousness. 



10. In vs. 19-23 Paul shows that 
the plan of God is founded on the 
universal principle of an equitable, 
free probation. 



11. In vs. 24-29 Paul establishes 
the right of God to grant equal priv- 
ileges to both Jew and Gentile. 



12. That is, Hosea, alluding to 
Hos. 2:23. 



13. In vs. 30-33 Paul shows that 
back of and underneath God's system 
of salvation is faith. 



14. A repetition of ' the question 
1 v. 14. 



15. A firm and earnest trust and 
confidence in the statement and prom- 
ises of God, "the substance of things 
hoped for and the evidence of things 
not seen." 



Ch. 10. A. D. 60. 



1. In ch. 10 Paul shows how the 
Jews • missed salvation and how the 
Gentiles found it. 



2. In vs. 2-11 the Jews preferred 
birth and works to true faith, hence 
they failed in winning heaven. 



3. That is, the final result which 
obedience to the law will bring. 



4. That is, the law justifies only 
the things done perfectly and makes 
no provisions for failure. 



5. Firm and earnest trust and con- 
fident reliance in the statements and 
promises of God, "the substance of 
things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



6. In the early days the heart 
was thought to be the seat of faith 
and moral sensibilities as well. 



32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not 
by faith, but as it were by the works of the 
law. For b Hhey stumbled at that stumbling- 
stone ; 

33 As it is written, cc Behold, I lay in Si'on 
a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and 
whosoever believeth on him shall not be 
ashamed. 

CHAPTER 10. 
5 The scripture sheweth the difference betwixt 
the righteousness of the law, and this of 
faith, 11 and that all, both Jew and Gen- 
tile, that believe, shall not be confounded. 

1 'Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer 
to God for Is'ra-el is, that they might be 
saved. 

2 For I bear them 2 record a that they have 
a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 

3 For they being ignorant of 6 God's right- 
eousness, and going about to establish their 
own righteousness, have not Submitted them- 
selves unto the righteousness of God. 

4 For d Christ is the end 3 of the law for 
righteousness to every one that believeth. 

5 For Mo'§e§ describeth the righteousness 
which is of the law, That the man which doeth 
4 those things shall live by them. 

6 But the righteousness which is of faith 
n speaketh on this wise, c Say not in thine heart, 
Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to 
bring ''Christ down from above:) 

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that 
is, to bring "up Christ again from the dead.) 

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, 
even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, 
the word of faith, which we preach; 

' 9 That if thou shalt confess with ' l thy mouth 
the Lord Je'§us, and shalt believe in thine 
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, 
thou shalt be saved. 

10 For with the "heart man believeth unto 
righteousness; and with the mouth confession 
is made unto salvation. 

11 For the scripture saith, 'Whosoever be- 
lieveth on him shall not be ashamed. 

12 For -'there is no difference between the 



p. And the Lord said unto. Moses, When thou goest to return into 
Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I 
have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not 
let the people go. (Ex. 4:21.) And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and 
multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. (Ex. 7:3.) But 
the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the chil- 
dren of Israel go (20). But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he 
would not let them go. (Ex. 10:20, 27.) But Sihon king of Heshbon 
would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hardened his 
spirit, and made his heart obstinata, that he might deliver him into 
thy hand, as appeareth this day. (Dt. 2:30.) For it was of the Lord 
to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, 
that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no 
favor, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses. 
(Josh. 11:20.) He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; 
that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their 
heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (Jno. 12:40.) 

q. Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say 
unto him. What doest thou? (Job 9:12.) 

r. Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as 
the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made 
me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had 
no understanding? (Is. 29:16.) 

s. O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith 
the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in 
mine hand, O house of Israel. (Jer. 1S:6.) 

t. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of 
silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some 
to dishonor. (II Tim. 2:20.) 

u. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation 
by our Lord Jesus. Christ. (I Thess. 5:9.) 

v. And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy 
upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them' which 
were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou 
art my God. (Hos. 2:23.) 

w. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of 
the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered: and it shall come 
to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my 
people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living 
God. (Hos. 1:10.) 

x. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a 
remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow 
with righteousness. (Is. 10:22.) 

y. Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made 
strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, 
even determined upon the whole earth. (Is. 28:22.) 



z. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because 
his compassions fail not. (Lam. 3:32.) Except the Lord of hosts had 
left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, 
and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. (Is. 1:9.) 

aa. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are 
justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. (Gal. 5:4.) 

bb. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, 
Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in 
Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against. (Lu. 2:34.) 

cc. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling 
and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel for a gin and for 
a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Is. 8:14.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, 
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. (Jno. 
16:2.) 

b. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to 
faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 1:17.) 

c. Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought 
worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted 
the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, 
and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Heb. 10:29.) 

d. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, 
that we might be justified by faith. (Gal. 3:24.) 

e. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up 
for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 
(Dt. 30:12.) 

f. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We 
have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne 
of the Majesty in the heavens. (Heb. 8:1.) 

g. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also receive, 
how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And 
that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to 
the scriptures. (I Cor. 15:3, 4.) 

h. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I 
confess also before my Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 10:32.) And 
they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. (Mk. 
12:8.) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by 
the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed; and that no man can say that 
Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (I Cor. 12:3.) And that 
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of 
God the Father. (Phil. 2:11.) 

i. Therefore thus said the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a 
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foun- 
dation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (Is. 28:16.) 

j. And put no difference between us aud them, purifying their hearts 
by faith. (Acts 15:9.)

Jew and the Greek: for the same l "Lord over 
all 'is rich unto all that call upon him. 

13 For '"whosoever shall call upon the name 
of the Lord shall be saved. 

14 How then shall they call on him in whom 
they have not believed? and how shall they 
believe in him of whom they have not heard? 
and how shall they hear without "a preacher? 

15 And how shall they preach, except they 
be sent? as it is written, ''How beautiful are 
the feet of them that preach the gospel of 
peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. 
For E-sa'ias saith, Lord, who hath believed 
our report? 

17 So then 'faith cometh by hearing, and 
hearing by the word of God. 

18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes 
verily, ^their sound went into all the earth, and 
their words unto the ends of the world. 

19 But I say, Did not Is'ra-el know? First 
M5'ses saith, f i\ will provoke you to jealousy 
by them that are no people, and by a foolish 
nation I will anger you. 

20 But E-sa'ias is very bold, and saith, 'I 
was found of them that sought me not; I was 
made manifest unto them that asked not after 
me. 

21 But to Is'ra-el he saith, S A11 day long I 
have stretched forth my hands unto a disobe- 
dient and gainsaying people. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 God hath not cast off all Israel. 16 There 
is hope of their conversion. 33 God's judg- 
ments are unsearchable. 

1 T say then, a Hath God cast away mis 
people? God forbid. For b I also am an Is"- 
ra-el-ite, of the seed of A^bra-ham, of the tribe 
of Ben'ja-min. 

2 God hath not cast away ^is people which 
he c foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture 
saith of E-li'as? how he maketh intercession 
to God against Is'ra-el, saying. 

3 Lord, d thev have killed thv prophets, and I proves of God. -the snteunce of 

,. , , ' ,,-. ,, i t i j»i i things hoped for, the evidence of

and they seek my life.

sand men, who have not bowed the knee to the 
image of Ba'al.

Ch. 11. A. D,

lhat Israel will ultimately be brought 
into complete submission to Christ 
with the Gentiles, and that there will 
be one kingdom of God on the earth.

be, as in the days of Abraham, a jus- 
tification by faith.

there is a remnant according to the election 
of grace. 

6 And fif by grace, then is it no more of 
works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But 
if it be of works, then is it no more grace: 
otherwise work is no more work. 

7 What then? is'ra-el hath not obtained 
that which he seeketh for; but the ^election 
hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 

8 (According as it is written, God ''hath 
given them the spirit of slumber, 'eyes that 
they should not see, and ears that they should 
not hear;) unto this day. 

9 And Da'vid saith, -'Let their table be made 
a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and 
a 4 recompence unto them: 

10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they 
may not see, and bow down their back alway. 

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they 
should fall? God forbid: but rather through 
'•'their fall salvation is come unto the Gen'tiles, 
for to provoke them to jealousy. » 

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of 
the world, and the diminishing of them the 
riches of the Gen'tiles; how much more their 
'fulness? 

13 For I speak to you Gen'tiles, inasmuch 
as "'I am the apostle of the Gen'tiles, I mag- 
nify mine office: 

14 If by any means I may provoke to emu- 
lation them which are my flesh, and "might 
save some of 'them. 

15 For if the casting away of them be the 
reconciling of the world, what shall the re- 
ceiving of them be, but life from the dead? 

16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the 5 lump is 
also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the 
branches. 

17 And if "some of the branches be broken 
off, ?and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert 
graffed in among them, and with them par- 
takest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 

18 Boast not against the branches. But if 
thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the 
root thee. 

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were 
broken off, that I might be graffed in. 

20 Well; because of unbelief they were bro- 
ken off, and thou standest by 6 faith. Be not 
highminded, but sfear: 

21 For if God spared not the natural 
branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 



k. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching 
peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all). (Acts 10:36.) 

1. in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness 
of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) 

m. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the 
name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in 
Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the rem- 
nant whom the Lord shall call. (Joel 2:32.) 

n. But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, 
which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God 
our Saviour. (Tit. 1:3.) 

o. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that 
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings 
of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God 
reigneth! (Is. 52:7.) 

p. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words 
to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun. 
(Ps. 19:4.) 

q. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God: 
ther have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move 
them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke 
them to anger with a foolish nation. (Dt. 32:21.) 

r. I am sought of them that asked not for me: I am found of them 
that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that 
was not called by my name. (is. 65:1.) 

s. I have spread out my bands all the day unto a rebellious people, 
which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts. 
(Is. 65:2.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's 
sake: because it hath 1 leased the Lord' to make vou his people. (I 
Sam. 12:22.) 

b. What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye 
the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say 
to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. (I Cor. 11:22.) 

c. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be con- 
formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among 
many brethren. (Rom. 8:29;) 

d. And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: 
for the children Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine 



altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am 
left; and they seek my life, to take it away. (I Ks. 19:10.) 

e. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the 
children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. 
(Rom. 9:27.) 

f. Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath 
cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord 
hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of 
these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee. (Dt. 9:4.) 

g. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, 
neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. (Jno. 10:28.) 

h. For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, 
and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath 
he covered. (Is. 29:10.) 

i. Tet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes 
to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. (Dt 29:4.) 

j. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which 
should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. (Ps. 69:22.) 

k. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said. It was necessary 
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing 
ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, 
io, we turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46.1 

1. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and 
shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and tnou 
shalt know "that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee. (Zech. 2:11.) 

m. But the Lord said unto him. Go thy way: for he is a chosen ves- 
sel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the 
children of Israel. (Acts 9:15.) 

n. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the 
error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multi- 
tude of sins. (Js. 5:20.) 

0. Thy Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly 
fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, 
and the branches of it are broken. (Jer. 11:16.) 

p. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens- from the 
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, 
having no hope, and without God in the world. (Eph. 2:12.) 

q. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in 
my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your 
own salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil. 2:12.)

22 Behold therefore the 7 goodness and se- 
verity of God: on them which fell, 'severity; 
but toward thee, goodness, 'if thou continue in 
his goodness: otherwise *thou also shalt be 
cut off. 

23 And they also, if they abide not still in 
unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able 
to graff them in again. 

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree 
which is wild by nature, and wert graffed 
contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how 
much more shall these, which be the natural 
branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 

25 s For I would not, brethren, that ye should 
be ignorant of this 'mystery, lest ye should be 
wise in your own conceits; that blindness in 
part is happened to Is'ra-el, until the fulness 
of the Gen 'tiles be come in. 

26 And so 'all '"Is'ra-el shall be saved : as it 
is written, "There shall come out of Si'on the 
Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness 
from Jacob:

I shall take away their sins. 

28 As concerning the gospel, they are ene- 
mies for your sakes:.but as touching the elec- 
tion, they are "beloved for the fathers' sakes. 

29 For the gifts and "'calling of God are 
without "repentance. 

30 For as ye in times past have not believed 
God, yet have now obtained mercy through 
their unbelief: 

31 Even so have these also now not believed, 
that through your mercy they also may obtain 
mercy.

CHAPTER 12. 

1 God's mercies must move us to please God. 
9 Love and many other duties are required 
of us. 

1 I 'beseech you "therefore, brethren, by the 
mercies of God, that ye ^present your bodies

which is your reasonable service. 

2 And r be not conformed to this world: but

me, to every man that is among you, not to 
think of himself more highly than he ought 
to think; but to think soberly, according as 
God hath dealt to "every man the measure of 
faith. 

4 For as we have many members in one 
body, and all members have not the same 
office: 

5 So *we, being many, are one body in 
Christ, and every one members one of another. 

6 Having then gifts differing according to 
the grace that is given to us, whether proph- 
ecy, 'let us prophesy according to the propor- 
tion of faith;

if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto 
the end. (Heb. 3:6.) 

s. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and 
every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it, that it may bring forth 
more fruit. (Jno. 15:2.) 

t. Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went 
through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many 
generations. (Is. 60:15.) 

u. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When 
the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, 
and Israel shall be glad. (Ps. 14:7.) And the Redeemer shall come to 
Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the 
Lord. (Is. 59:20.) 

v. This is the covenant that I will make with them after those 
days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in 
their minds will I write them. (Heb. 10:16.) 

w. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, 
dost thou go to possess their land; hut for the wickedness of these 
nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and 
that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, 
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Dt. 9:5.) 

x. That no flesh should glory in his presence. (I Cor. 1:29.) The 
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what 
is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his in- 
heritance in the saints. (Eph. 1:18.) I therefore, the prisoner of the 
Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye 
are called (1). There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called 
in one hope of your calling. (Eph. 4:1. 4.) I press toward the mark 
for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:14.) 
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you 
worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, 
and the work of faith with power. (II Thess. 1:11.) Wherefore, holy 
brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and 
High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. (Heb. 3:1.) Wherefore 
the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election 
sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. (II Pet. 1:10.) 

y. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath 
he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) For those 
priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that 
said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a Priest 
for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Heh. 7:21.) 

z. Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or, being his coun- 
sellor, hath taught him? (Is. 40:13.) 

aa. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth 
he of thine hand? (Job 35:7.) 

bb. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all 
things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all 
things, and we by him. (I Cor. 8:6.) 

cc. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; 
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Rev. 1:6.) 
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under 
the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard 
I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that 
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. (Rev. 
5:13.) But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour 
Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (II Pet. 
3:18.) And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will 



preserve me Unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom he glory for ever and 
ever. Amen. (II Tim. 4:18.) If any mar. speak, let him speak as the 
oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability 
which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus 
Christ: to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (7 
Pet. 4:11.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall 
destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but 
for the Lord, and the Lord for the body (13). For ye are bought with 
a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which 
are God's. (I Cor. 6:13, 20.) Neither yield ye your members as 
instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto 
God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instru- 
ments of righteousness unto God (13). Know ye not, that to whom ye yield 

yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether 
of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (16). I speak after 
the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have 
yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto 
iniquity; even so now yield you-r members servants to r'ghteousness 
unto holiness. (Rom. 6:13, 16, 19.) By him therefore let us offer the 
sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips 
giving thanks to his name. (Heb. 13:15.) Ye also, as lively stones, 
are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spirit- 
ual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 2:5.) 

b. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, 
through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. (Heb. 10:20.) 

c. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the 
former lusts in your ignorance. (I Pet. 1:14.) Love not the world, 
neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the 
love of the Father is not in him. (I Jno. 2:15.) 

d. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may 
know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory 
of his inheritance in the saints. (Eph. 1:18.) 

e. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye 
should abstain from fornication. (I Thess. 4:3.) 

f. Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you 
in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is 
given to me of God. (Rom. 15:15.) According to the grace of God 
which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the 
foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take 
heed how he buildeth thereupon. (I Cor. 3:10.) But by the grace o£ God 
I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me ^as not 
in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but 
the grace of God which was with me. (I Cor. 15:10.) And when James, 
Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that 
was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands 
of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the 
circumcision. (Gal. 2:9.) Whereof I was made a minister, according 
to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual work- 
ing of his power. (Eph. 3:7.) 

g. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to 
profit withal (7). But all these worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, 
dividing to every man severally as he will. (I Cor. 12:7, 11.) 

h. And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the 
head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of 
him that filleth all in all. (Eph. 1:22, 23.) 

i. To another the working of miracles: to another prophecy; to 
another discerning of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; to 
another the interpretation of tongues. (I Cor. 12:10.)

powers. For there is no power but of God: 
the powers that be are ordained of God. 

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, 
resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that 
resist shall receive to themselves ^damnation. 

3 For 6 rulers are not a terror to good works, 
but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid 
of the power? c do that which is good, and thou 
shalt have praise of the same: 

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for 
good. But if thou do that which is evil, be 
afraid ; for he beareth not the sword in vain : 
for he is the minister of God, a revenger to 
execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 

5 Wherefore d ye must needs be subject, not 
only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake. 

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also : for 
they are God's ministers, attending continually 
upon this very thing. 

7 Render c therefore to all their dues: trib- 
ute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom 
custom; ''fear to whom fear; honour to whom 
honour. 

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one 
another: -°for he that loveth another hath ful- 
filled the law. 

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, 
Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou 
shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not 
covet; and if there be any other command- 
ment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, 
namely, 7i Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy- 
self. 

10 Love 'worketh no ill to his neighbour: 
therefore love is the fdlfilling of the law. 

11 And that, knowing the time, that -'now it 
is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is 
our salvation nearer than when we believed. 

12 The night is ->'far spent, the day is at 
hand: let us therefore cast off the works of 
darkness, and let us put on the armour ,: of 
light. 

13 Let 7 us walk honestly, as in the day; not 
in rioting and drunkenness, not in xhamber- 



j. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that 
teacheth in all geod things. (Gal. 6:6.) 

k. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, arid 
exhortation, and comfort. (I Cor. 14:3.) 

1. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over 
the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church 
of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28.) 

m. Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so the Lord, 
the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil, 
and love the gcod, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that 
the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. 
(Amos 5:14, 15.) 

n. But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto 
you; for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. (I Thess. 
4:9.) Let brotherly love continue. (Heb. 13:1.) And to godliness 
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. (II Pet. 1:7.) A 
new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I 
have loved you, that ye also love one another. (Jno. 13:34.) 

0. Let nothing be done through strife or vain-glory; but in lowli- 
ness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. (Phil. 2:3.) 
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; 
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. 
(Rom. 13:7.) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried 
with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 
(II Pet. 2:17.) 

p. I know thy works, that thou are neither cold nor hot: I would 
thou wert cold or hot. (Rev. 3:15.) 

q. But Christ as a Son over his own house; whose house are we, 
if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto 
the end. (Heb. 3:6.) 

r. Xot rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrari- 
wise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should 
Inherit a blessing. (I Pet. 3:9.) 

s. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have 
entertained angels unawares. (Heb. 13:2.) 

t. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of 
iOve, which ye have shown toward his name, in thai ye have ministered 
to the saints, and do minister. (Heb. 6:10.) 

u. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will 
of God, ye might receive the promise. (Heb. 10:36.) 

v. If Ihine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be 
thirsty, give him water to drink: For tlicu shalt heap coals of fire 
upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee. (Prov. 25:21, 22.) • 

Chapter 13. 

a. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to 
obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work. (Tit. 3:1.) 

b. The God of Israel said, the rock of Israel spake to me. He 
that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. (II Sam. 
23:3.) Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which 
frameth mischief by a law? IPs. y : "M 

c. And who is he that will harm vou,. if ye be followers of that 
which is good? (I Pet. 3:13.) 



d. I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in 
regard of the oath of God. (Ecc. 8:2.) 

e. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things 
which be Cesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. (Lu. 20:25.) 

f. Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father, and keep 
my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:3.) 

g. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do 
to vou, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets. 
(Mat. 7:12.) 

h. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the chil- 
dren of thy people: but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am 
the Lord. (Lev. 19:1S.) 

i. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as 
thyself. (Mat. 22:39.) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in 
this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Gal. 5:14.) Therefore 
all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so 
to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets. (Mat. 7:12.) A new com- 
mandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved 
you, that ye also love one another. (Jno. 13:34.) If ye fulfil the royal 
law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, 
ye do well. (Js. 2:8.) 

j. But this I say, brethren, the time is short; it remaineth, that 
both they that have wives be as though they, had none. (I Cor. 7:29.) 
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord 
draweth nigh. (Js. 5:8.) But the end of all things is at hand: be ye 
therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. (I Pet. 4:7.) The Lord is not 
slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is 
long-suffering to us-ward. Dot willing that any should perish, but that 
all should come to repentance (9.) Seeing then that all these things 
shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought yet to be in all holy 
conversation and godltness? (II Pet. 3: 9, 11.) Little children, it is 
the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even 
now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last 
time. (I Jno. 2:8.) ' Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the 
words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein' 
for the time is at haDd. (Rev. 1:3.) 

k. By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor oi 
righteousness on the right hand and on the left. (II Cor. 6:7.) (For 
the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God 
to the pulling down of strong holds.) (II Cor. 10:4.) Put on the whole 
armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the 
devil (11). Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye 
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 
(Eph. 6:11, 13.) But let us, who are of the day. be sober, putting on 
the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helment the hope of sal- 
vation. (I Thess. 5:8.) 

1. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things 
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: 
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 
(Phil. 4:8.)

14 But "put ye on the Lord Je'sus Christ, 
and "make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil 
the lusts thereof. 

CHAPTER 14. 

3 Men may not contemn nor condemn one the 
other, 13 but take heed that they give no 
offence. 

1 'Him that a is weak in the faith receive ye, 
but not to doubtful disputations. 

2 For one believeth that he may eat all 
things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 

3 Let not him that eateth despise him that 
eateth not; and ''let not him which eateth not 
judge him that eateth: for God hath received 
him. 

4 Who c art thou that judgest another man's 
servant? to his own master he standeth or 
falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God 
is able to make him stand. 

5 One man esteemeth one day above anoth- 
er: another esteemeth 2 every day alike. Let 
every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it 
unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the 
day, to the Lord he doth 'not regard it. He 
that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for %e giveth 
God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the 
4 Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 

7 For r none of us liveth to himself, and no 
man dieth to himself. 

8 For whether we live, we live unto the 
Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the 
Lord : whether we live therefore, or die, we are 
the Lord's. 

9 For fto this end Christ both died, and 
rose, and revived, that he might be "Lord both 
of the dead and living. 

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or 
why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for 
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of 
Christ. 

11 For it is written, ''As I live, saith the 
Lord, every knee shall r 'bow to me, and every 
tongue shall confess to God. 

12 So then 'every one of us shall give ac- 
count of himself to God. 

13 Let us not therefore judge one another 
any more: but judge "this rather, that 'no

1. In ch. 14 Paul treats of Chris- 
tian forbearance or the principles 
which should control us in our rela- 
tions with a weaker brother. 



2. Every day alike holy — one 
another. 



3. Esteem it to the Lord. 



4. The one gives thanks for that 
which is spurious to the other. 



5. In the judgment.' 



6. Rather than judge others, we 
should use our power to judge our 
own conduct. 



7. In vs. 14-23 the strong are 
warned not to injure a weaker broth- 



S. If to him it seemeth unclean it 
is unclean; therefore, though of itself 
it be without siu, to him it is sin. 



9. Free from impurities or evil. 



10. That is, he who eateth in dis- 
regard to his brother, to him it is an 
offense. 



11. That is, to do anything which 
might be a .stumbling-block to a weak- 
er brother and thereby cause his ruin. 



12. Firm and earnest trust and 
confident reliance in the statements 
and promises of God, '"the substance 
of things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



13. Condemned.

man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to 
fall in his brother's way. 

14 7 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord 
Je'sus, k'that there is nothing unclean of itself: 
but to him that esteemeth any • thing to be 
unclean, to him it is 'unclean. 

15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy 
meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Des- 
troy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ 
died. 

16 'Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 

17 For '"the kingdom of God is not meat- 
and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and 
joy in the Ho'ly Ghost. 

18 For he that in these things serveth Christ 
"is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 

19 Let us therefore follow after the things 
which make for peace, and things wherewith 
"one may edify another. 

20 For meat destroy not the work of God. 
All things indeed are 9 pure; but it is evil for 
that man who eateth with '"offence. 

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to 
drink wine, nor any "thing whereby thy brother 
stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 

22 Hast thou '"faith? have it to thyself be- 
fore God. Happy is he that condemneth not 
himself in that thing which he alloweth. 

23 And he that ''doubteth is "damned if he 
eat, because he eateth not of faith: for what- 
soever r 4s not of faith is sin. 

CHAPTER 15. 
1 The strong must bear with the weak. ■ 2 We 
may not please ourselves, 3 for Christ did 
not so, 7 but receive one the other, as 
Christ did us all. 15 Paul excuseth his wri- 
ting. 

1 'We a then that are strong ought to bear 
the ^infirmities of the weak, and not to please 
ourselves. 

2 Let every one of us c please his neighbour 
for his good ''to edification. 

3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, 
as it is written, The reproaches of them that 
reproached thee fell on me. 

4 For 'whatsoever things were written 
aforetime were written for our learning, that 
we through patience and comfort of the scrip- 
tures might have hope. 



m. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory 
not, and lie not against the truth (14). For where envying and strife 
is, there is confusion and every evil work. (Js. 3:14, 16.) 

n. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have 
put on Christ. (Gal. 3:27.) I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: 
my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. (Job 29:14.) And that ye 
put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and 
true holiness. (Bph. 4:24.) And have put on the new man, which is 
renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him (10). 
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of 
mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering. 
(Col. 3:10, 12.) 

o. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the 
lust of the flesh. (Gal. 5:16.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. But take heed, lest by any means this liberty of yours become a 
stumblingblock to them that are weak. (I Cor. 8:9.) 

b. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in 
respect oj. an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days. 
(Col. 2:16.) 

c. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who 
art thou that judgest another? (Js. 4:12.) 

d. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all 
to the glory of God. (I Cor. 10:31.) Forbidding to marry, and com- 
manding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received 
with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (I Tim. 
4:3.) 

e. I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ 
liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the 
faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 
(Gal. 2:20.) 

f. And that he died for all, 'that they which live should not 
henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, 
and rose again. (II Cor. 5:15.) 

g. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preach- 
ing peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.) (Acts 10:36.) 

h. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in 
righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall 
bow, every tongue shall swear. (Is. 45:23.) 

i. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, 
ihey shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. (Mat. 12:36.) 

j. But take heed, lest by any means this liberty of yours become 
a stumblingblock to them that are weak. (I Cor. 8:9.) 



k. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are 
defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and 
conscience is defiled. (Tit. 1:15.) 

1. Recompese to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in 
the sight of all men. (Rom. 12:17.) 

m. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are 
we the better; neither, if we eat not, are the worse. (I Cor. 8:8.) 

n. Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, 
but also in the sight of men. (II Cor. 8:21.) 

o. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek 
that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. (I Cor. 14:12.) 

p. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but 
was strong in" faith, giving glory to God. (Rom. 4:20.) 

q. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that 
cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of 
them that diligently seek him. (Heb. 11, 6.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are 
spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering 
thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Gal. 6:1.) 

b. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful 
disputations. (Rom. 14:1.) 

c. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own 
profit, but the profit of many, that they may be. saved. (I Cor.. 10:33.) 
For we are glad when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we 
wish, even your perfection. (II Cor. 13:9.) 

d. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, 
and things wherewith one may edify another. (Rom. 14:19.) All things 
are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are 
lawful for me, but all things edify not. (I Cor. 10:23.) But he that 
prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and 
comfort (3). How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every 
one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a 
revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 
(I Cor. 14:3, 26.) Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? 
we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, 
for your edifying. (II Cor. 12:19.) For the perfecting of the saints, 
for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ 
(12). Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but 
that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace 
unto the hearers. (Eph. 4:12, 29.)

glorify God, even the Father of our Lord 
Je'sus Christ. 

7 Wherefore receive ye one another, #as 
Christ also received us to the glory of God. 

8 2 Now I say that Je'sus Christ was a min-

my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, 
filled with all knowledge, able also to admon- 
ish one another. 

1-5 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the

you in mind, because of the grace that is given 
to me of God, 

16 That "I should be the minister of Je'sus 
Christ to the Gen'tiles, ministering the gospel 
of God, that the offering up of the Gen'tiles 
might be acceptable, being sanctified by the 
Holy Ghost, 

17 I have therefore whereof I may glory 
through Je'sus Christ in those things which 
pertain to God.

those things °which Christ hath not wrought 
by me, ^to make the Gen'tiles obedient, by 
word and deed,

Je-ru'sa-lem, and round about unto Il-lyr'i- 
cum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 

20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gos- 
pel, not where Christ was named, lest I should 
build upon another man's foundation: 

21 But as it is written, r To whom he was 
not spoken of, they shall see: and they that 
have not heard shall understand. 

22 For which cause also I have been much 
hindered from coming to you. 

23 But now having no more place in these 
parts, and ^having a great desire these many 
years to come unto you; 

24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, 
I will come to you : for I trust to see* you in 
my journey, 'and to be brought on my way 
thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat 
filled with your company. 

25 But now "I go unto Je-ru'sa-lem to min- 
ister unto the saints. 

26 For r it hath pleased them of Mac-e-do'- 
ni-a and A-cha'ia to make a certain contribu- 
tion for the poor saints which are at Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

27 It hath pleased them, verily; and their 
debtors they are. For if the Gen'tiles have 
been made partakers cf their spiritual things, 
their ""duty is also to minister unto them in 
carnal things. 

28 When therefore I have performed this, 
and have sealed to them ^this fruit, I will 
come by you into Spain. 

29 And I -"am sure that, when I come unto 
you, I shall come in the 2 fulness of the blessing 
of the gospel of Christ.

f. Xow I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions 
among you: but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind 
and in ihe same judgment. (I Cor. 1:10.) 

g. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein 
we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Rom. 5:2.)

i. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I 
must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one 
fold, and one shepherd. (Jno. 10:16.) 

j. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee. O Lord, among the 
heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. (Ps. 1S:49.) 

k. Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the 
blood of his servants, and will, render vengeance to his adversaries, and 
will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. (Dt. 32:43.) Let 
the people praise thee, O God: let all the people praise thee. (Ps. 67:3.)

a Branch shall grow out of his roots (1). And in that day there shall

m. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in re- 
membrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established

n. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak 
the truth in Christ, and lie not:) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith 
and verity. (I Tim. 2:7.)

things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministrv.

to the faith among all nations, for his name. (Rom. 1:5.)

r. So shall he sprinkle many nations: the kings shall shut their 
mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they 
see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. (Is. 52:15.) 

s. After thf-se things wfre ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when 
he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia to go to Jerusalem, 
saying. After I have been there, I must also see Rome. (Acts 19:21.) 

r. And being brought on their way by the church, thejr passed 
through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gen- 
tiles; and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. (Acts 15:3.) 



u. Xow after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and 
offerings. (Acts 24:17.) 

v. Xow concerning the collection for the saints, as I hare given 
order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. (I Cor. 16:1.) For 
I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them 
of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal 
hath provoked very many. (II Cor. 9:2.) 

w. If we have sown uato your spiritual things, is it a great thing 
if we shall reap your carnal things? (I Cor. 9:11.) Let him that is 
taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good 
things. (Gal. 6:6.) 

x. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound 
to your account. (Phil. 4:17.) 

y. For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual 
gift, to the end ye may be established. (Rom. 1:11.) 

z. Unto me. who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace 
given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable 
riches of Christ. (Eph. 3:8.) 

aa. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort 
of love, if anv fellowshiD of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies. 
(Phil. 2:1.) 

bb. Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift 
bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be 
given by many on our behalf. (II Cor. 1:11.) Withal praying also for 
us. that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the 
mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds. (Col. 4:3.1 

cc. And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked 
men: for all men have not faith. (II Thess. 3:2.) Who delivered us from 
so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet 
deliver us. (II Cor. 1:10.1 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto 
me at Antioch: at Iconium, at Lystra: what persecutions I endured: 
but out of them all the Lord delivered me. (II Tim. 3:11.) 

dd. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and 
do this, or that. (Js. 4~:15.) 

ee. Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and 
exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his 
spirit was refreshfd by you all. (II Cor. 7:13.) The Lord give mercy 
unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not 
ashamed of my chains. (IT Tim. 1:16.) 

ff. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet 
shortly. The grace of cvr Lo>-d Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 
(Rom. 16:20.) Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good 
comfort, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace 
shall be with you. (II Cor. 13:11.) But my God shall supply all your 
need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19.)

3 Paul ivilleth the brethren to greet many, 
17 and adviseth them to take heed of those 
which cause dissension and offences, 21 and 
after sundry salutations endeth with praise 
and thanks to God. 

1 I commend unto you ^he'be our sister, 
which is a servant of the church which is °at 
Ccn'chre-a: 

2 That 6 ye receive her in the Lord, as be- 
cometh saints, and that ye assist her in what- 
soever business she hath need of you : for she 
hath been a "succourer of many, and of myself 
also. 

3 Greet 'Pris-cil'la and Aq'ui-la my helpers 
in d Christ Je'§us: 

4 Who have for my life laid down their own 
necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but 
also all the churches of the Gen'tlle§. 

5 Likewise greet the church that is in their 
house. Salute my wellbeloved E-pasn'e-tus, who 
is the firstfruits of A-cha'ia unto Christ. 

6 Greet Ma'ry, 'who bestowed much labour 
on us. 

7 Salute An-dro-ni'cus and Ju'nia, my kins- 
men, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note 
among the apostles, who also fwere in Christ 
before me. 

8 Greet Am'plT-as my beloved fn the Lord. 

9 Salute Ur'bane, our helper in Christ, and 
Sta'chys my beloved. 

10 Salute A-peTles approved in Christ. Sa- 
lute them which are of Ar-is-to-bu'lus' house- 
hold. 

11 Salute He-ro'di-on my kinsman. Greet 
them that be of the household of Nar-cis'sus, 
which are in the Lord. 

12 Salute Try-phe'na and Try-pho'sa, who 
labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Per'sis, 
which laboured much in the Lord. 

13 Salute Ru'fus "chosen in the Lord, and 
his mother and mine.

1. The woman who acted as mes- 
senger carrying the epistle to the Ro- 
mans, from Paul to the church. 



2. She is thus alluded to as a' lady 
of some wealth who administers to 
the needs and entertainment of her 
fellow Christians. 



3. In vs. 21-24, those who are with 
Paul send their greetings and bene- 
dictions to the church. 



Pat'ro-bas, Her'me§, and the brethren which 
are with them. 

15 Salute Phi-161'o-gus, and Julia, Ne're-us, 
and his sister, and 6-lym'pas, and all the saints 
which are with them. 

16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. 
The churches of Christ salute you. 

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them 
which cause divisions and offences contrary to 
the doctrine which ye have learned; and ''avoid 
them. 

18 For they that are such serve not our 
Lord Je'§us Christ, but their own belly; and 
by good words and fair speeches deceive the 
hearts of the simple. 

19 For your obedience is come abroad unto 
all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: 
but yet I would have you 'wise unto that which 
is good, and simple concerning evil. 

20 And the God of peace shall ^'bruise Sa'tan

Lord Je'§us Christ be with you. Amen.

you "according to my gospel, and the preach- 
ing of Je'§us Christ, according to the revela- 
tion of the mystery, which "was kept secret 
since the world began,

And the very God of peace sanctify you holy: and I pray God your 
whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming 
of our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Thess. 5:23.) Now the God of peace, that 
brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of 
the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant. (Heb. 13:20.) 
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. 
The Lord be with you all. (II Thess. 3:16.) 
Chapter 16. 

a. And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then 
took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with 
him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had 
a vow. (Acts 18:18.) 

b. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold 
such in reputation. (Phil. 2:29.) 

c. After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to 
Corinth; And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately 
come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had 
commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 
(Acts 18:1, 2.) 

d. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old 
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (II Cor. 
5:17.) I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in 
the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: 
God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. (II Cor. 
12:2.) And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judea which 
were in Christ. (Gal. 1:22.) 

e. Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, 
if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if 
she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every 
good work. (I Tim. 5:10.) 

f. And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judea which 
were in Christ. (Gal. 1:22 ) 

g. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation 
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in 
love. (Eph. 1:4.) The elder unto the elect lady and her children, 
whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have 
known the truth. (II .Ino. 1.) 

h. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that 
walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of 
us. (II Thess. 3:6.) 



i. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: he ye 
therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Mat. 10:16.) 

j. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and be- 
tween thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt 
bruise his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) 

k. Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain 
disciple was there, named Timotheus, (the son of a certain woman, 
which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek.) 
(Acts 16:1.) Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace,- mercy, 
and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. (I Tim. 1:2.) 

1. But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto 
them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, 
and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, 
and sought to bring them out to the people. (Acts 17:5.) 

m. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 
(I Thess. 5:28.) 

n. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus 
Christ according to my gospel. (Rom. 2:16.) 

0. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency 
of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God (1). 
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, 
which God ordained before the world unto our glory. (I Cor. 2:1, 7.) 
Let a man so account of us" as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards 
of the mysteries of God. (I Cor. 4:1.) Having made known unto us the 
mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath 
purposed in himself. (Eph. 1:9.) How that by revelation he made 
known unto me the mysteries; (as I wrote afore in few words') (3). 
And to make all men see what, is the fellowship of the mystery, which 
from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all 
things by Jesus Christ. (Eph. 3:3, 9.) Even the mystery which hath 
been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest 
to his saints. (Col. 1:26.) Withal praying also for us, that God would 
open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for 
which I am also in bonds. (Col. 4:3.) And without controversy great 
is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified 
in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on 
in the world, received up into glory. (I Tim. 3:16.) That it might be 
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my 
mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret 
from the foundation of the world. (Mat. 13:35.) 



THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 

CORINTHIANS 

NOTE. — The First Bpistle to the Corinthians was written by Paul in the year 57 A. D. while he was at Ephtsus, in Asia Minor, 
of the letter is the doctrine of church-life or the principles which should control the members in their general relations.

Je'sus Christ;

him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

12 Now this I say, that every one of you 
saith, I am of Paul: and I of A-pol'16s; and I 
of Cephas; and I of Christ. 

13 Is Christ diviaed? was Paul crucified for 
you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 

14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, 
but Cris'pus and Ga'ius; 

15 Lest any should say that I had baptized 
in mine own name. 

18 And I baptized also the household of 
Steph'a-nas: besides, I know not whether I 
baptized any other. 

17 For ''Christ sent me not to baptize, but 
to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of 
words, lest the cross of Christ should be made 
of none effect.

that 'perish '"foolishness; but unto us which 
are saved it is the power of God. 

19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wis- 
dom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the 
understanding of the prudent. 

20 "Where is the wise? where is the scribe? 
where is the disputer of this world? hath "not 
God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 

21 For ^after that in the wisdom of God the 
world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God 
by the foolishness of preaching to save them 
that believe. 

22 For the ^Jews require a sign, and the 
Greeks seek after wisdom: 

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto r the 
Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks 
foolishness; 

24 But unto them which are called, both 
Jews and Greeks, Christ *'the power of God, 
and 'the wisdom of God.

25 Because "the "foolishness of God is wiser 
than men; and the weakness of God is stronger 
than men. 

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how 
that not many wise men after the flesh, not 
many mighty, not many noble, are calle; 1 : 

27 But 'God hath chosen the foolish things 
of the world to confound the wise; and God 
hath chosen the weak things of the world to 
confound the things which are mighty; 

28 And base things of the world, and things 
which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and 
things which are not, iC to bring to nought 
things that are: 

29 That no flesh should glory in his pres- 
ence. 

30 But of him are ye in Christ Je'sus, who of 
God is made unto us wisdom, and righteous- 
ness, and sanctification, and redemption : 

31 That, according as it is written, •'Tie that 
glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Though his -preaching bring not excellency of 
speech, or of human wisdom, yet it consist- 
eth in the 4, 5 power of God. 

1 'And I, brethren, when I came to you, 
came not with excellency of speech or of wis- 
dom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 

2 For I determined not to know any thing 
among you, save Je'§us Christ, and him cruci- 
fied. 

3 And I was with you in weakness, and in 
fear, and in much trembling. 

4 And my speech and my preaching a was 
not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but 
in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 

5 That your faith should not stand in the 
wisdom of men, but 6 in the power of God. 

6 2 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them 
that 'are "perfect: yet not the wisdom of this 
world, nor of the princes of this world, that 
come to nought. 

7 But we speak .the wisdom of God in a 
mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God 
ordained before the world unto our glory: 

8 Which d none of the princes of this world 
knew: for had they known it, they would not 
have crucified the Lord of glory. 

9 But as it is written, e Eye hath not seen, 
nor ear heard, neither have entered into the 
heart of man, the things which God hath pre- 
pared for them that love him. 



9. They would call it God's fool- 
ishness, but even his foolishness is 
superior to their wisdom. 



Ch. 2. A. D. 59. 



1. In eh. 2 Paul rebukes the pride 
of human philosophy and exhorts the 
church to the preaching of Christ and 
him crucified. 



2. In vs. 6-16 Paul declares Chris- 
tianity to have a wisdom not under- 
stood save by the spiritual. 



3. Matured in Christian experience 
and knowledge. 



4. The worldly man. 



5. The spiritual. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 59. 



1. Because of their carnal-minded- 
ness, Paul could not speak to them of 
the deep spiritual truths as he would 
like to. He exhorts them to a holier 
life, as they must give an account of 
their lives in the day of fiery judg- 
ment. 



2. Alluding to the lower and high- 
er principles of life. 



Worldly, as the flesh. 



4, As is shown in vs. 12-15. 



10 But ^God hath revealed them unto us by 
his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, 
yea, the deep things of God. 

11 For what man knoweth the things of a 
man, #save the spirit of man which is in him? 
''even so the things of God knoweth no man, 
but the Spirit of God. 

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of 
the world, but the spirit which is of God; that 
we might know the things that are freely 
given to us of God. 

13 Which things also we speak, not in the 
words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which 
the Ho'ly Gh5st teacheth; comparing spiritual 
things with spiritual. 

14 'But the "natural man receiveth not the 
things of the Spirit of God: for they are fool- 
ishness unto him: neither can he know them, 
because they are spiritually discerned. 

15 But -'he that is spiritual judgeth all 
things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 

16 '"-'For who hath known the mind of the 
Lord, that he may instruct him? 'But 5 we have 
the mind of Christ. 

CHAPTER 3. 
2 Milk is fit for children. 7 He that planteth, 
and he that watereth, is nothing. 9 The 
■ministers are God's fellowworkmen. 11 
Christ the only foundation. 16 Men the 
temples of God. 

1 *And I, brethren, could not speak unto you 
as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as 
unto babes in Christ. 

2 I have fed you with nnilk, and not with 
meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, 
neither yet now are ye able. 

3 For ye are yet 3 carnal : for whereas there 
is among you envying, and strife, and divi- 
sions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 

4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and 
another, I am of A-p61'16s; are ye not carnal? 

5 Who then is Paul, and who is A-p61'16s, 
but ministers by "whom ye believed, even as 
the 6 Lord gave to every man? 

6 I have planted, A-pol'16s watered; but 
God gave the increase. 

7 So then neither is he that planteth any 
thing, neither he that watereth; but God that 
giveth the increase. 

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth 
are one: and every man shall receive his own 
reward according to his own "labour. 



u. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency 
of the power may be of God, and not of us. (II Cor. 4:7.) 

v. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained 
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy 
and the avenger. (Ps. 8:2.) 

w. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not 
the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to 
nought. (I Cor. 2:6.) How much less to him that accepteth not the 
persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for 
they all are the work of his hands. (Job 34:19.) And then shall that 
Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit 
of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. 
(II Thess. 2:8.) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh 
and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that 
through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that 
is, the devil. (Heb. 2:14.) 

x. Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wis- 
dom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich 
man glory in his riches. (Jer. 9:23.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we 
made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
but were eye-witnesses of his majesty. (II Pet. 1:16.) 

b. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency 
of the power may be of God, and not of us. (II Cor. 4:7.) 

c. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge 
of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the 
stature of the fulness of Christ. (Eph. 4:13.) 

d. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they 
knew him not, nor yet the voices of the Prophets which are read 
every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. 
(Acts 13:27.) 

e. Sinee the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor per- 
ceived by the ear. neither hath the eye seen, O God,- besides thee, what 
he hath prepared for h ; m that waiteth for him. (Is. 64:4.) 

f. Wnen he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into 
all truth. (Jno. 16:13.) 

g. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wickpd: 
who can know it? (Jer. 17:9.) 

h. the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge cf 



God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding 
out! (Rom. 11:33.) 

i. Thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be 
of men. (Mat. 16:23.) 

j. Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the 
Lord understand all things. (Prov. 28:5.) 

k. Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wis- 
dom to thyself? (Job 15:8.) Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, 
or, being his counsellor, hath taught him? (Is. 40:13.) 

1. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will 
show them his covenant. (Ps. 25:14.) Henceforth I call you not 
servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have 
called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have 
made known unto you. (Jno. 15:15.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, 
in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses. (II Cor. 
6:4.) Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace 
cf God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. (Eph. 3:7.) 
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God 
which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God. (Col. 1:25.) 
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, minis- 
tering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be 
acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 15:16.) Foras- 
much as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered 
by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; 
not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart (3). Who also 
hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the 
letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 
(II Cor. 3:3, 6.) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled 
me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry. 
(I Tim. 1:12.) 

b. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, 
and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it 
bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread 
to the eater; So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: 
it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I 
please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye 
shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and 
the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees 
of the field shall clap their hands. (Is. 55:10-12.)

A. D. 59 



9 For we are labourers together with God : 
ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's "-'building. 

10 According to the grace of God which is 
given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have 
laid ,j the foundation, and another buildeth 
thereon. But let every man take heed how he 
buildeth thereupon. 

11 For other foundation can 5 no man lay 
than f that is laid, which is Je'sus Christ. 

12 'Now if any man build upon this founda- 
tion gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, 
stubble; 

13 Every man's work shall be made Mani- 
fest: for the 'day f shall declare it because it 
shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall 
try every man's work of what sort it is. 

14 If any man's work abide which he hath 
built thereupon, he shall receive a '"reward. 

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he 
shall su.ier loss: but he himself shall be saved; 
''yet so_ as by fire. 

16 ''Know ye not that ye are the temple of 
God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in 
you ? 

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him 
shall God destroy; for the 'temple of God is 
holy, which temple ye are. 

18 Let no -'man deceive himself. If any 
man among you seemeth to be wise in this 
world, let him become a fool, that he may be 
wise. 

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolish- 
ness with God. For it is written, He A 'taketh 
the wise in their own craftiness. 

20 And again, The Lord knoweth the 
thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For 
'all things are your's; 

22 Whether Paul, or A-p6T16s, or Ce'phas, 
or the world, or life, or death, or things pres- 
ent, or things to came; all are your's; 

23 And "'ye are Christ's; and Christ is 
God's. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 In what account the ministers ought to be 
had. 9 The apostles spectacles to the world, 
angels, and men: 15 get our fathers in 
Christ, 16 whom ice ought to follow. 

1 Let a man so account of us, as of the min- 
isters of Christ, "and stewards of the Tnys- 
teries of God. 

2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that 
a man be found faithful. 



5. If built upon other than Christ, 
it is without foundation. 



6. In vs. 12-15 Paul declares the 
life of man subject to the tests of 
fire at the day of judgment. 



Shall be reviewed, made known. 



S. Of judgment. 



9. Because the false or unholy 
shall be destroyed, but the true char- 
acter founded on Christ is indestructi- 
ble. 



10. To the righteous, good works 
are an investment which bring their 
reward. 



Ch. 4. A. D. 59. 



1. In ch. 4. Paul presents the true 
dignity of ministers. 



2. The divine truths. 



3. Full of trust to his duties. 



4. Self-satisfied. 



5. As Christianity is new. he ex- 
horts the church to follow his exam- 
ple. 



3 But with me it is a very small thing that 
I should be judged of you, or of man's judg- 
ment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 

4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I 
not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me 
is the Lord. 

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, 
until the Lord come, who both will bring to 
light the hidden things of darkness, and will 
make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and 
Hhen shall every man have praise of God. 

6 And these things, brethren, I have in a 
figure transferred to myself and to A-pol'!6s 
for your sakes; that °ye might learn in us not 
to think of men above that which is written, 
that no one of you be puffed up for one against 
another. 

7 For who maketh thee to differ from an- 
other? and ''what hast thou that thou didst not 
receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost 
thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 

8 Now ye are 4 full, now ye are rich, ye have 
reigned as kings without us: and I would to 
God ye did reign, that we also might reign 
with you. 

9 For I think that God hath set forth us 
the apostles last, as it were appointed to death : 
for we are made a spectacle unto the world, 
and to angels, and to men. 

10 We are 'fools for Christ's sake, but ye 
are wise in Christ; 'we are weak, but ye are 
strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 

11 Even unto this present hour we both 
hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are 
buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 

12 And "labour, working with our own 
hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecu- 
ted, we suffer it : 

13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made 
as the filth of the world, and are the offscour- 
ing of all things unto this day. 

14 I write not these things to shame you, 
but as my beloved sons I warn you. 

15 For though ye have ten thousand in- 
structors in Christ, yet have ye not many fa- 
thers: for in Christ Je'sus I have begotten 
you through the gospel. 

16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers 
of "me. 

17 For this cause have I sent unto you Ti- 
mo'the-us, who is my beloved son, and faith- 
ful in the Lord, who shall bring you into re- 



c. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, 
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. (Eph. 2:20.) 

d. Yea, so have I strived to preach the Gospel, not where Christ 
was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation. (Rom. 
15:20.) The' wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the 
names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (Rev. 21:14.) 

e. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a 
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure 
foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (Is. 2S:16.) Which 
is not another: but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert 
the gospel of Christ. (Gal. 1:7.) 

f. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord 
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. In flaming 
fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not 
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with ever- 
lasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of 
his power. (II Thess. 1:7-9.) For the which cause I also suffer these things: 
nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and 
am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed 
unto him against that day (12). The Lord grant unto him that he 
may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many 
things he minstered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. 
'II Tim. 1:12, 18.) Verily I say unto you. It shall be more tolerable for 
the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that 
city. (Mat. 10:15.) That the trial of your faith, being much more 
precious than of gold that perisheth. though it be tried with fire, might 
be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus 
Christ. (I Pet. 1:7.) 

g. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating 
even the garment spotted by the flesh. (Jude 23.) 

h. What! know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy 
Ghost which is in you. which ye have of God, and ye are not your 
own? (I Cor. 6:19.) And what agreement hath the temple of God 
with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said. 
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God. and 
they shall be my people. (II Cor. 6:16.) In whom all the building, 
fitlv framed together, groweth unto an holv temple in the Lord. 
(Eph. 2:21.) But ve are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be 
that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the 
Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Rom. 8:9.) 



i. Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, 
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. 
(Heb. 3:1.) 

j. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in 
their own sight! (Is. 5:21.) 

k. He taketh the wise in the'r own craftiness; and the counsel of 
the froward is carried headlong. (Job 5:13.) 

1. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord: and 
ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake (5). For all things are for your 
sakes, thai the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many 
redound to the glory of God. (II Cor. 4:5, 15.) 

m. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we 
die. we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the 
Lord's. (Rom. 14:S.) If ve be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed. 
(Gal. 3:29.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. The Lord said. Who then is that faithful and wise steward, 
whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them 
their portion of meat in due season? (Lu. 12:42.) 

b. But he is a Jew which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that 
of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not cf 
men, but of God. (Rom. 2:29.) For we must all appear before the 
judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done 
in his bodv. according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 
(II Cor. 5:10.) 

c. For I say. Through the grace given unto me, to every man that 
is among vou, not to think of himself more highly tha,n he ought to 
think: but' to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man 
the measure of faith. (Rom. 12:3.) 

d. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it 
be given him from heaven. (Jno. 3:27.) 

e. And as he thus spake for himself, Festus sa : d with a loud voice, 
Paul, thou art beside thvself: much learning doth make thee mad. 
(Acts 26:24.) 

f. For we are glad when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this 
also we wish, even vour perfect ; on. (II Cor. 13:9.) 

g. For therefore* we both labor and suffer reproach, because we 
trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those 
that believe. (I Tim. 4:"0 )

membrance of my ways which be in Christ, 
as I teach every where in every church. 

18 Now some are puffed 6 up, as though I 
would not come to you. 

19 But I will come to you shortly, if the 
Lord will, and will know, not the speech of 
them which are puffed up, but the power. 

20 For ''the kingdom of God is not in word, 
but in power. 

21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with 
a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meek- 
ness? 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 The incestuous person 6 is cause of shame. 
7 The old leaven is to be purged out. 10 
Heinous offenders are to be shunned. 

1 'It is reported commonly that there is for- 
nication among you, and such fornication as is 
not so much as "named among the Gen'tile§, 
Hhat one skould have his 'father's wife. 

2 And ye are puffed up, and have not 2 rather 
mourned, that he that hath done this deed 
might be taken away from among you. 

3 J For I verily, as absent in body, but pres- 
ent in spirit, have judged already, as though 
I were present, concerning him that hath so 
done this deed, 

4 In the name of our Lord Je'sus Christ, 
when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, 
'with the power of our Lord Je'§us Christ, 

5 To deliver such an one unto Sa'tan for 
the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may 
be saved in the day of the Lord Je'§us. 

6 "Your glorying is not good. Know ye not 
that 'Ja. little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 

7 Purge out "therefore the old leaven, that 
ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. 
For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for 
us: 

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with 
''old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice 
and wickedness; but with the unleavened 
bread of sincerity and truth. 

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to com- 
pany with fornicators: 

10 'Yet not altogether with the fornicators 



6. With pride and boasting. 



Ch. 5. A. D. 59. 



1. In ch. 5 Paul reproves the 
church for the incestuous ones in 
their midst, commands them to purge 
themselves of the bad* leaven, and 
qualifies his former command as to 
association with sinners of the world. 



2. Have been indifferent and not 
sorrowful. 



3. In vs. 6-8, through the illustra- 
tion of the leaven. Paul teaches the 
church that they must purge them- 
selves of sin. 



4. If he persists in bis sins, cast 
him out. 



Ch. 6. A. D. 59. 



1. In this ch. Paul exhorts the 
Christians not to go into law against 
each other, especially before an un- 
believing judge. It is better to en- 
dure wrong here than to be shut out 
of heaven. 



An infidel or unbelieving judge. 



3. As the Christians are one in 
Christ, they shall rule in him, suffer 
in him. and triumph in bim; hence 
all nations, powers, principalities and 
even angels shall be judged by them. 



4. Suffer yourselves to be wronged. 



5. In vs. 9-11 Paul declares that 
sensual indulgences will exclude from 
the kingdom of God. 



of this world, or with the covetous, or extor- 
tioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye 
needs go out ■'of the world. 

11 But now I have written unto you not to 
keep company, fc if any man that is called a 
brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an 
idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an ex- 
tortioner; with such an one 'no not to eat. 

12 For what have I to do to judge them also 
that are without? do. not ye judge them that 
are within? 

13 But them that are without "'God judgeth. 
Therefore put av/ay from among yourselves 
that wicked person. 

CHAPTER 6. 

1 Against going to law. 18 Against 

sensuality. 

1 'Dare any of you, having a matter against 
another, go to law before the "unjust, and not 
before the saints? 

2 Do ye not know that "the saints shall 
judge the world? and if the world shall be 
judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the 
smallest matters? 

3 Know ye not that we shall "judge 6 angels? 
how much more things that pertain to this 
life? 

4 If then ye have judgments of things per- 
taining to this life, set them to judge who are 
least esteemed in the church. 

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that 
there is not a wise man among you? no, not 
one that shall be able to judge between his 
brethren? 

6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and 
that before the unbelievers. 

7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault 
among you, because ye go to law one with an- 
other. c 'Why do ye not rather 'take wrong? 
why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be 
defrauded? 

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that 
''your brethren. 

9 'Know ye not that the ''unrighteous shall 
''not inherit the kingdom of God? Be #not de- 
ceived: neither ''fornicators, nor idolaters, nor 



h. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in 
power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance. (I Thess. 1:5.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it 
not be once named among you, as becometh saints. (Eph. 5:3.) 

b. Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife: because he 
uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall sav, Amen. 
(Dt. 27:20.) 

c. Though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had 
done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care 
for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. (II Cor. 7:12.) 

d. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the 
spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your 
faith in Christ. (Col. 2:5.) 

e. Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and 
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. (Jno. 20:23.) To whom 
ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: fcr if I forgave any thing, to whom 
I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ. 
(II Cor. 2:10.) Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which 
to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you (3). Therefore I write 
these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, 
according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, 
and not to destruction. (II Cor. 13:3, 10.) Them that sin rebuke before 
all, that others also may fear. (I Tim. 5:20.) 

f. The Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save 
his life. (Job 2:8.) To open their eyes, and to turn them from dark- 
ness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God. (Acts 2G:18.) 
Whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to 
blaspheme. (I Tim. 1:20.) 

g. Evil communications corrupt gcod manners. (I Cor. 15:33.) A 
little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. (Gal. 5:9.) 

h. Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it: seven days shalt thou 
eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; (for thou 
earnest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste;) that thou mayest 
remember the dav when thou earnest forth out of the land of Egypt 
all the days of thy life. (Dt. 16:3.) 

i. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what 
fellowship hath righteousness with unrigbteousness? and what com- 
munion hath light with darkness? (II Cor. 6:14.) 

j. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but 
that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (Jno. 17:15.) 

k. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: 
but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen 
man and a publican. (Mat. 18:17.) 

1. Before that certain came from James, he did eat with the 
Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, 
fearing them which were of the circumcision. (Gal. 2:12.) 

m. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every 
secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. (Ecc. 12:14.) 
Whoremongers and adulterers will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 



Chapter 6. 

a. Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to 
the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints 
possessed the kingdom. (Dan. 7:22.) 

b. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their 
own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting, chains, unto darkness, 
unto the judgment of the great day. (Jude 6.) 

c. Say not thou, I will recompense evil, but wait on the Lord, and 
he shall save thee. (Prov. 20:22.) 

d. That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: 
because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have 
forewarned you and testified. (I Thess. 4:6.) 

e. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the reward of 
his hands shall be given him. (Is. 3:11.) 

f. " Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the 
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (I Cor. 
15:50.) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of 
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that 
they which do such tlvngs shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal. 
5:21.) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor 
covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the king- 
dom of Christ and of God. (Eph. 5:5.) And now, brethren, I com- 
mend you to God. and to the word of his grace, which is able to build 
you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are 
sanctified. (Acts 20:32.) 

g. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 
(I Cor. 15:33.) Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever 
a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Gal. 6:7.) Do not err, my 
beloved brethren. (Js. 1:16.) And he said. Take heed that ye be not 
deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and 
the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. (Lu. 21:8.) 
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousnss is 
rightous, even as he is righteous. (I Jno. 3:7.) 

h. Let us walk hortestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunk- 
enness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 
(Rom. 13:13.) Now the wcrks of the flesh are manifest, which are 
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, 
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, here- 
sies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of 
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that 
they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal. 
5:19-21.) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, 
nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the 
kingdom of Christ and of God. (Eph. 5:5.) For whoremongers, for 
them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, 
for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to 
sound doctrine. (I Tim. 1:10.) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and 
the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcers, and 
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth 
with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Rev. 21:8.)

adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of 
themselves with mankind, 

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, 
nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall 'inherit 
the kingdom of God. 

11 And such were some of you: but ye 'are 
washed, but ye °are sanctified, but ye are justi- 
fied in the name of the Lord Je'sus, and by 
the Spirit of our God. 

12 All -'things are lawful unto me, but all 
things are not Expedient : all things are law- 
ful for me, but I will not be brought under 
the power cf any. 

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for 
meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. 
Now the body is not for fornication, but fc for 
the Lord; and 'the Lord for the body. 

14 And "'God hath both raised up the Lord, 
and will also raise up us by his own power. 

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the 
members "of Christ? shall I then take the 
members of Christ, and make them the mem- 
bers of an harlot? God forbid. 

16 What! know ye not that he which is 
joined to an harlot is one body? for °two, saith 
he, shall be one flesh. 

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is 
?one spirit. 

18 Flee ''fornication. Every sin that a man 
doeth is without the body; but he that com- 
mitteth fornication sinneth 'against his own 
body. 

19 What! s know ye not that your body is

which ye have of God, and ye are not your 
own? 

20 For ye f are bought with a s price: there- 
fore "glorify God in your body, and in your 
spirit, which are God's.

2 He treateth of marriage, 10 and sheweth 

that the bond thereof ought not lightly to be

1 'Now concerning the things whereof ye

benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto 
the husband. 

4 The wife hath not power 3 of her own body, 
but the husband: and likewise also the hus- 
band hath not power of his own body, but the 
wife. 

5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be 
with consent for a time, that ye may give 
yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come 
together again, that c Sa'tan tempt you not for 
your incontinency. 

6 But I speak this by permission, and not 
of commandment. 

7 For I would that all men were d even as I 
myself. But 'every man hath his proper gift 
of God, one after this manner, and another 
after that. 

8 I say therefore to the unmarried and wid- 
ows, It is good for them if they abide even 
as I. 

9 But fif they cannot contain, let them 
marry: for it is better to marry than to 4 burn. 

10 r And unto the married I command, yet 
not I, but the Lord, #Let not the wife depart 
from her husband : 

11 But and if she depart, let her remain un- 
married, or be reconciled to her husband: and 
let not the husband put away his wife. 

12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: 
If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, 
and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him 
not put her away. 

13 And the woman which hath an husband 
that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell 
with her, let her not leave him. 

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified 
by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sancti- 
fied by the husband: else ''were your children 
unclean; but now are they holy. 

15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him 
depart. A brother or a sister is not under 
bondage in such cases: but God hath called 
us to peace. 

16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether 
thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest 
thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy 
wife? 

17 But as God hath distributed to every 
man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let 
him walk. And 'so ordain I in all churches. 

18 Is any man called being circumcised? let 



l. Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, 
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies 
washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.) 

j. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: 
all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. (I Cor. 10:23.) 

k. This is the will of God, even your sanetification, that ye should 
abstain from fornication. (I Thess. 1:3.) 

1. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the 
head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (Eph. 5:23.) 

m. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his 
death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. (Rom. 6:5.) 

n. So we, being many, are one bod3 r in Christ, and every one mem- 
bers one of another. (Rom. 12:5.) For we are members of his body, 
of his flesh, and of his bones. (Eph. 5:30.) 

o. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall 
cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh. (Mat. 19:5.) 

p. That they all may be one; as thou. Father, art in me, and I in thee, 
that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou 
hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; 
that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, 
that they may be made perfect in one: and that the world may know 
that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 
(Jno. 17:21-23.) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be 
that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the 
Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body 
is dead because of sin: but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus, from the dead dwell in 
you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your 
mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Rom. 8:9-11.) I am 
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth 
in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of 
the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Gal. 2:20.) 

q. And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among 
you, and that I shall bewail many which have s>nned already, and 
have not repented of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lascivious- 
ness, which they have committed. (II Cor. 12:21.) But fornication, and 
all uncleanness, or covetfTUsness, let it not be once named among you, 
as becometh saints. .(Eph. 5:3.) Mortify therefore your members which 
are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness. inordinate affection, evil 
concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. (Col. 3:5.) Mar- 
riage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and 
adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

r. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the 



knowl- 
and as 
be not 



lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between them- 
selves. (Rom. 1:24.) 

s. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye 
are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in 
them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my 
people. (II Cor. 6:16.) 

t. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a 
curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a 
tree. (Gal. 3:13.) The Lord that bought them. (II Pet. 2:1.) And 
they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and 
to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to 
God by thy blood. (Rev. 5:9.) 

u. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your 
good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 5:16.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts 
satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 
(Prov. 5:19.) 

b. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to 
edge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, 
being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers 
hindered. (I Pet. 3:7.) 

c. I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have 
tempted you, and our labor be in vain. (I Thess. 3:5.) 

d. Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as 
other apostles? (I Cor. 9:5.) 

e. There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for 
the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him 
receive it. (Mat. 19:12.) 

f. I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, 
guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak re- 
proachfully. (I Tim. 5:14.)' 

g. Whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of 
fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall 
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (Mat. 5:32.) 

h. Did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the Spirit. 
And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take 
heed to vour spirit, and vet none deal treacherously against the wife 
of his voiith. (Mai. 2:15.) 

i. Besides those things that are without, that which cometh upon 
me daily, the care of all the churches. (II Cor. 11:28.) For God is not 
the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 
(I Cor. 14:33.) But if anv man seem to be contentious, we have no such

him not become uncircumcised. Is any called 
in uncircumcision? -'let him not be circum- 
cised. 

19 Circumcision is ^nothing, and uncircum- 
cision is nothing, but the keeping ; of the com- 
mandments of God. 

20 Let 'every man abide in the same calling 
wherein he was called. 

21 Art '"thou called being a servant? care 
not for it: but if thou mayest be "made free, 
use it rather. 

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being 
a servant, is the Lord's °freeman: likewise 
also he that is called, being free, is PChrist's 
servant. 

23. Ye «are bought with a price; be not ye 
the servants of men. 

24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is 
called, therein abide with God. 

25 7 Now concerning virgins I have no com- 
mandment of the Lord: yet I give my judg- 
ment, as one 'that hath obtained mercy of the 
Lord *to be faithful. 

26 I suppose therefore that this is good for 
the present distress, I say, that it is good for 
a man so to be. 

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to 
be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek 
not a wife. 

28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not 
sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not 
sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble 
in the flesh: but I spare you. 

29 But this I say, brethren, the time is 
short: it remaineth, that both they that have 
wives be as though they had none; 

30 And they that weep, as though they wept 
not; and they that rejoice, as though they 
rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they 
possessed not; 

31 And they that use this world, as not 
'abusing it: for "the fashion of this world 
passeth away. 

32 But I would have you without careful- 
ness. l 'He that is unmarried careth for the 
things that belong to the Lord, how he may 
please the Lord: 

33 But he that is married careth for the 
things that are of the world, how he may 
please his wife. 



6. Holy living. 



7. The remainder of the ch. is de- 
voted to marriage under pressure or 
persecution. 



Ch. 8. A. D. 59. 



1. Ch. S is devoted to the law gov- 
erning the meats offered the idols. 



34 There is difference also between a wife 
and a virgin. ,l The unmarried woman careth 
for the things of the Lord, that she may be 
holy both in body and in spirit: but she that 
is married careth for the things of the world, 
how she may please her husband. 

35 And this I speak for your own profit; not 
that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that 
which is comely, and that ye may attend upon 
the Lord without distraction. 

36 But if any man think that he behaveth 
himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass 
the flower of her age, and need so require, let 
him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them 
marry. 

37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in 
his heart, having no necessity, but hath power 
over his own will, and hath so decreed in his 
heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. 

38 So then he that giveth her in marriage 
doeth well ; but he that giveth her not in mar- 
riage doeth better. 

39 J The wife is bound by the law as long 
as her husband liveth; but if her husband be 
dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom 
she will; only in the Lord. 

40 But she is happier if she so abide, after 
my judgment: and I think also that I have the 
Spirit of God. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 To abstain from meats offered to idols. 8, 9 
We must not abuse our Christian liberty, to 
the offence of our brethren, 11 but must 
bridle our knowledge tuith charity. 

1 'Now a as touching things offered unto idols, 
we know that we all have '^knowledge. Knowl- 
edge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 

2 And r if any man think that he knoweth 
any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought 
to know. 

3 But if any man love God, ^the same is 
known of him. 

4 As concerning therefore the eating of 
those things that are offered in sacrifice unto 
idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the 
world, f and that there is none other God but 
one. 

5 For though there be that are called gods, 
whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be 
gods many, and lords many,) 



custom, neither the churches of God. (I Cor. 11:16.) And was un- 
known hy face unto tbe churches of Judea which were in Christ. 
(Gal. 1:22.) For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of 
God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like 
things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews. 
(I Thess. 2:14.) So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of 
God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribula- 
tions that ye endure. (II Thess. 1:4.) 

j. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ 
shall profit you nothing. (Gal. 5:2.) 

k. In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor 
uncircumcision, but a new creature. (Gal. 6:15.) 

1. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wan- 
dereth from his place. (Prov. 27:S.) I beseech you that ye walk 
worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. (Eph. 4:1.) 

m. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor 
free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ 
Jesus. (Gal. 3:28.) 

n. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of 
wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go 
free, and that ye break every yoke? (Is. 5S:6.) 

o. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free in- 
deed. (Jno. S:36.) Being then made free from sin, ye became the 
servants of righteousness. (Rom. 6:18.) 

p. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not 
liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 
(Gal. 5:13.) 

q. For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the 
land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. (Lev. 25:42.) Thou 
wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood. (Rev. 5:9.) 

r. For this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ 
might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which 
should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (I Tim. 1:16.) 

s. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for 
that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry. (I Tim. 
1:12.) 

t. What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the 
Gospel, I may make the -Gospel of Christ without charge, that I 
abuse not my power in the Gospel. (I Cor. 9:18.) 

u. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for 
a Utile time, and then vanisheth away. (Js. 4:14.) And the world 
passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God 
abideth for ever. (I Jno. 2:17.) 



v. She that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and 
continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. (I Tim. 5:5'.) 

w. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to 
him, and said. Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me 
to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me (40). But one thing is 
needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken 
away from her. (Lu. 10:40, 42.) 

x For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law 
to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she 
is loosed from the law of her husband. (Rom. 7:2.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions 
of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from 
blood. (Acts 15:20.) 

b. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is 
nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be 
unclean, to him it is unclean. (Rom. 14:14.) 

c. If a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, 
he deceiveth himself. (Gal. 6:3.) If any man teach otherwise, and con- 
sent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, know- 
ing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof 
cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings. (I Tim. 6:3, 4.) 

d. And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring 
up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send 
with me: yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also 
found grace in my sight. (Ex. 33:12.) The Lord is good, a strong hold 
in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. (Nah. 
1:7.) Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this 
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. (II Tim. 2:19.) But now, 
after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn 
ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again 
to be in bondage? (Gal. 4:9.) For the law of the Spirit of life in 
Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (2). 
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit 
of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, 
he is none of his. (Rom. 8:2, 9.) For the Lord knoweth the way of 
the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. (Ps. 1:6.) Vou 
only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will 
punish you for all your iniquities. (Amos 3:2.) 

e. Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomi- 
nation is he that chooseth ycu. (Is. 41:24.)

Ch. Q 



I CORINTHIANS 



A. D. 59 



6 But to us there is but one God, the Fa- 
ther, "of whom are all things, and we in him; 
and one ''Lord Je'sus Christ, 'by whom are all 
things, and we by him. 

7 Howbeit 'there is not in every man that 
knowledge: for some with conscience of the 
idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered 
unto an idol; and their conscience being weak 
is defiled. 

8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for 
neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, 
if we eat not, are we the worse. 

9 But take heed lest by any means this lib- 
erty of your's become a stumblingblock to them 
that are weak. 

10 For if any man see thee which hast 
knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall 
not the conscience of him which is weak be 
emboldened to eat those things which are of- 
fered to idols; 

11 And through thy knowledge shall the 
weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 

12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, 
and wound their weak conscience, ye sin 
'against Christ. 

13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to 
offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stand- 
eth, lest I make my brother to offend. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 He sheweth his liberty, 7 and that the min- 
ister ought to live by the gospel. 24 Our 
life is like unto a race. 

1 'Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have 
I not seen Je'sus Christ our Lord? are not ye 
my work in the Lord? 

2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet 
doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine 
apostleship are ye in the Lord. 

3 Mine answer to them that do examine me 
is this, 

4 Have we mot power to eat and to drink? 

5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, 
a wife, as well as other apostles, and as "the 
brethren of the Lord, and 6 Ce'phas? 

6 Or I only and Bar'na-bas, f 'have not we 
power to forbear working? 

7 s Who d goeth a warfare any time at his 
own charges? who 'planteth a vineyard, and 
eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth 
a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 

8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not 
the law the same also? 

9 For it is written in the law of M'o'ses, 
Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that 
treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for 
oxen? 

10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? 



Nevertheless. 



3. Because they are Christ's. 



Ch. 9. A. D. 59. 



1. la ch. 9 Paul exhorts the 
church not to assert their rights to 
the full limit if by so doing they may 
cause a brother to offend. 



Rightful authority. 



3. In ts. 7-14 Paul declares that, 
by the general law of compensation 
which controls all wages, the minis- 
ter is entitled to his support. 



4. Not exerting his individual 
rights and prerogatives, but conform- 
ing himself to opportunities to right- 
fully influence a weaker brother. 



For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that 
he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that 
he that thresheth in hope should be partaker 
of his hope. 

11 If we fhave sown unto you spiritual 
things, is it a great thing if we shall reap 
your carnal things? 

12 If others be partakers of this power over 
you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we ^have 
not used this power; but suffer all things, lest 
we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 

13 Do ye not know that they which minister 
about holy things live of the things of the 
temple? and they which wait at the altar are 
partakers with the altar? 

14 Even so ''hath the Lord ordained that 
they 'which preach the gospel should live of 
the gospel. 

15 But I have used none of these things: 
neither have I written these things, that it 
should be so done unto me: for it were better 
for me to die, than that any man should make 
my glorying void. 

16 For though I preach the gospel, I have 
nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon 
me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the 
gospel ! 

17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have 
a reward: but if against my will, -'a dispensa- 
tion cf the gospel is committed unto me. 

18 What is my reward then? Verily that, 
when I preach the gospel, I may make the 
gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse 
not my power in the gospel. 

19 For though I be free from all men, yet 
have I made myself servant unto all, A 'that I 
might gain the more. 

20 And 'unto the Jews. I became as a Jew, 
that I might gain the Jews; to them that are 
under the law, as under the law, that I might 
gain them that are under the law; 

21 To them that are without law, as without 
law, (being not without law to God, but under 
the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that 
are without law; 

22 To the weak became I as weak, that I 
might gain the weak: I am made all things to 
"all men, that I might by all means save some. 

23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that 
I might be partaker thereof with you. 

24 Know ye not that they which run in a 
race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So 
run, that ye may obtain. 

25 And every man that striveth for the mas- 
tery is temperate in all things. Now they do 
it to obtain a '"corruptible crown ; but we an 
"incorruptible. 



f. Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? (Mai. 
2:10.) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, 
and in you all. (Eph. 4:6.) 

g. In him we live, and move, and have our being; as eortain also 
cf your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. (Acts 
17:28.) Of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom 
be glorv for ever. (Rom. 11:36.) 

h. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 
to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:11.) 

1. All things were made by him: and without him was not any 
thing made that was made. (Jiio. 1:3.) [God] Hath in these last days 
?poken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, 
by whom also he" made the worlds. (Heb. 1:2.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? 
and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? (Mat. 
13:55.) But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's 
brother. (Gal. 1:19.) , 

b. When Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife s 
mother laid, and sick of a fever. (Mat. S:14.) 

a. Neither did we eat anv man's bread for nought: but wrought 
with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable 
to any of you. (II Thess. 3:8.) 

d. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through 
God. (II Cor. 10:4.) Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier 
of Jesus Christ. (II Tim. 2:3.) I have fought a good fight, I have fin- 
ished my course, I have kept the faith. (II Tim. 4:7.) 

e. What man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet 
of it? (Dt. 20:6.) Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit 

thereof. (Prov. 27:18.) 

f. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual 
things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. (Rom. 
15:27.) 



g. Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might 
be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? 
(II Cor. 11:7.) 

h. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things 
as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. (Lu. 10:7.) 

i. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that 
teacheth in all good things. (Gal. 6:6.) Let the elders that rule well 
be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the 
word and doctrine. (I Tim. 5:17.) 

j. The gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as 
the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter. (Gal. 2:7.) I am set 
for the defence of the gospel. (Phil. 1:17.) Whereof I am made a 
minister, according to the dispensation of God. (Col. 1:25.) 

k. Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell 
him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou 
hast gained thy brother. (Mat. 18:15.) 

1. Him would Paul have to go forth with him: and took and cir- 
cumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters. (Acts 
16:3.) [Paul] Having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. 
(Acts 1S:1S.) 

m. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteous- 
ness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: 
and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. (II 
Tim. 4:8.) Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he 
is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath prom- 
ised' to them that love him. (Js. 1:12.) And when the chief Shepherd 
shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 
(I Pet. 5:4.) Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, 
the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried-, 
and ye shall have tribulation ten davs: be thou faithful unto death, and 
I will give thee a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10.) Behold, I come quickly: 
hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Rev. 3:11.) 

n. When he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the

26 I therefore so run, not as "uncertainly; 
so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 

27 But I keep under my body, and bring it 
into subjection: lest that by any means, when 
I have preached to others, I myself should be 
Pa 'castaway. 

CHAPTER 10. 
1 The sacraments of the Jews, 6 are types of 
our's, 7 and their punishments, 11 exam- 
ples for us. 14 We must fly from idolatry. 
21 We must not make the Lord's table the 
table of devils. 

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye 
should be ignorant, how that all our fathers 
were under "the 'cloud, and all passed through 
Hhe sea; 

2 And were all baptized unto M5'§e§ in the 
2 cloud and in the sea; 

3 And did all eat the same Spiritual meat; 

4 And did all drink the same Spiritual 
drink: for they drank of that spiritual 3 Rock 
that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 

5 But with many of them God was not well 
pleased: for they were overthrown in the wil- 
derness. 

6 Now these things were our examples, to 
the intent we should not lust after evil things, 
as they also lusted. 

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of 
them; as it is written, 'The people sat down 
to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some 
of them committed, and ^fell in one day three 
and twenty thousand. 

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some "of 
them also tempted, and were destroyed of ser- 
pents. 

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them 
also murmured, and were destroyed of the 
destroyer. 

11 Now all these things happened unto them 
for ensamples: and, they ''are written for our 
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world 
are come. 

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he stand- 
eth take heed lest he fall. 

13 There hath no temptation taken you but 
such as is common to man: but God is faithful, 
who will not suffer you to be tempted above 
that ye are 4 able; but will with the temptation 
also 'make a way to escape, that ye may be 
able to bear it. 



5. That is, lest he should not prove 
worthy. 



Ch. 10. A. D. 59. 



1. In eh. 10 Paul presents the dan- 
ger of fellowship with idolatry, il- 
lustrating his statements by the his- 
tory of Israel, again exhorting the 
church to forego even lawful things 
if indulging in them might cause a 
weaker brother to stumble. 



2. Pillar of cloud over the Israel- 
id s as a symbol of divine presence 
(Ex. 13:21, 22). 



4. That is, Christ will not allow 
us to be tempted to the point where 
we are overloaded aud are compelled 
to fall. 



5. The festal cup used in the sacri- 
fice to idols. 



Not profitable unto Christ. 



7. That is. why is not a man 
judged by the effect of his deeds 
upon himself and not by the effect 
upon others? Paul gives the answer 
in v. 1. 



14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from 
idolatry. 

15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what 1 
say. 

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it 
not the communion of the blood of Christ? 
^The bread which we break, is it not the com- 
munion of the body of Christ? 

17 For we being many are one "bread, and 
one body : for we are all partakers of that one 
bread. 

18 Behold Is'ra-el after the flesh : fc are not 
they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of 
the altar? 

19 What say I then? that the idol is any 
thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to 
idols is any thing? 

20 But I say, that the things which the 
Gen'tlles 'sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and 
not to God: and I would not that ye should 
have fellowship with devils. 

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and 
the cup of "'devils: ye cannot be partakers of 
the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 

22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? 
"'are we stronger than he? 

23 All things are lawful for me, but all 
things are not "expedient: all things are lawful 
for me, but all things edify not. 

24 Let no man seek his own, but every man 
another's wealth. 

25 Whatsoever "is sold in the shambles, that 
eat, asking no question for conscience' sake: 

26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the ful- 
ness thereof. 

27 If any of them that believe not bid you 
to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatso- 
ever is set before you, eat, asking no question 
for conscience' sake. 

28 But if any man say unto you, This is 
offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his 
sake that shewed it, and for conscience' sake: 
for "the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness 
thereof : 

29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of 
the other: for Pwhy is my liberty 7 judged of 
another man's conscience? 

30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am 
I evil spoken of for that for which I give 
thanks? 

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or 
whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory tfof God. 

32 Give none offence, neither to the Jewg, 
nor to the Gen'tlles?, nor to the church of God: 



Lord hath promised to them that love him. (Js. 1:12.) Be thou faith- 
ful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. (Rev. .2:10.) 

0. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were 
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, 
eternal in the heavens. (II Cor. 5:1.) 

p. Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath 
rejected them. (Jer. 6:30.) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the 
faith: prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that 
Jeslis Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (II Cor. 13:5.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to 
lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of "fire, to give them light; 
to go by day and night. (Ex. 13:21.) In the day-time also he led them 
with a cloud. (Ps. 78:14.) 

b. The children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the 
dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, 
and on their left. .(Ex. 14:22.) 

c. Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread 
from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather 
a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they 
will walk in my law, or no (4). And when the children of Israel saw 
it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it 
was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord 
hath given you to eat. (Ex. 16:4, 15.) And he humbled thee, and suf- 
fered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest 
not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that 
man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth 
out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. (Dt. 8:3.) And gavest 
them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water 
for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they 
should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them 
(15). Thou gavest also thy guod Spirit to instruct them, and with- 
heldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for 
their thirst. (Neh. 9:15, 20.) And had rained down manna upon them 
to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. (Ps. 78:24.) 

d. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb: 
and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that 
the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of 
Israel. (Ex. 17:6.) 



e. And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offer- 
ings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and 
to drink, and rose up to play. (Ex. 32:6.) 

f. And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit 
whoredom with the daughters of Moab (1). And those that died from 
the plague were twenty and four thousand. (Num. 25:1, 9.) 

g. The people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore 
have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there 
is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light 
bread. (Num. 21:5.) 

h. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for 
our learning; that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures 
might have hope. (Rom. 15:4.) 

i. I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, 
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (Jer. 
29:11.) 

j. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fel- 
lowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (Acts 2:42.) 

k. The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving 
shall be eaten the same day that it is offered. (Lev. 7:15.) 

1. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew 
not. (Dt. 32:17.) 

m. Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the 
days that I shall deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken it, and will 
do it. (Ez. 22:14.) 

n. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, 
if it be received with thanksgiving. (I Tim. 4:4.) 

o. Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, is the Lord's 
thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. (Dt. 10:14.) 

p. Let not then your good be evil spoken of. (Rom. 14:16.) 

q. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over 
the which the Holy Ghost bath made your overseers, to feed the church of 
God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:2S.) Paul, 
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 
unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which 
are in all Achaia. (II Cor. 1:1.) For ye have heard of my conversation 
in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I perse- 
cuted the church of God, and wasted it. (Gal. 1:13.) (For if a man 
know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the

33 Even as I please all men in all things, 
not 'seeking mine own profit, but the profit of 
many, that they may be saved. 

CHAPTER 11. 
1 He reproveth them, because in holy assem- 
blies 4 their men prayed with their heads 
covered, and 6 women ivith their heads un- 
covered, 21 and for profaning with their 
own feasts the Lord's supper. 

1 Be ye "followers of me, even as I also am 
of Christ. 

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye re- 
member me in all things, and ^keep the Ordi- 
nances, as I delivered them to you. 

3 But I would have you know, that d the 
head of every man is Christ; and the head 
of the woman is the man; and 'the head of 
Christ is God. 

4 Every man praying or prophesying, hav- 
ing his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 

5 But /every woman that prayeth or prophe- 
sieth with her head uncovered, dishonoureth 
her head: for that is even all one as if she 
were ^shaven. 

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her 
also be shorn: but if it be 7l a shame for a 
woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be cov- 
ered. 

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his 
head, forasmuch as 'he is the image and glory 
J of God: but the woman is the glory 2 of the 
man. 

8 For the man is not of the "woman; 'but 
the ''woman of the man. 

9 Neither was the man created for the 
woman ; but the woman for the man. 

10 For this cause ought the woman to have 
power on her head because of the angels. 

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without 
the woman, neither the woman without the 
man, in the Lord. 

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so 
is the man also by the woman; but all things 
of God. 

13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a 
woman pray unto God uncovered? 

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, 
that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame 
unto him? 

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a 
glory to her: for her hair is given her for a 
'covering. 

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, 
we have no such custom, neither the churches 
of God. 



Ch. 11. A. D. 59. 



1. The image of Clod as the author- 
ized Lord in the earth (Gen. 1:27). 



2. That is. emanating or created 
from him as a second self. 



3. That is, she is his complement 
and together they form the one com- 
posite person. 



4. A symbol of modesty. 



5. In vs. 17-34 Paul entreats the 
church not to be guilty of disorders 
and abuses of the Lord's supper. 



17 r 'Now in this that I declare unto you I 
praise you not, that ye come together not for 
the better, but for the worse. 

18 For first of all, when ye come together 
in the church, k l hear that there be divisions 
among you; and I partly believe it. 

19 For 'there must be also heresies among 
you, '"that they which are approved may be 
made manifest among you. 

20 When ye come together therefore into 
one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 

21 For in eating every one taketh before 
other his own supper: and one is hungry, and 
another is drunken. 

22. What! have ye not houses to eat and to 
drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and 
shame them that have not? What shall I say 
to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise 
you not. 

23 For I have received of the Lord that 
which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord 
Je'§us the same night in which he was betrayed 
took bread: 

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake 
it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which 
is broken for you: this do in remembrance 
of me. 

25 After the same manner also he took the 
cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is 
the "new testament in my blood: this do ye, as 
oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and 
drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death 
"till he come. 

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, 
and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, 
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the 
Lord. 

28 But 2'iet a man examine himself, and so 
let him eat of that bread, and drink of that 
cup. 

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthi- 
ly, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, 
n6t discerning the Lord's body. 

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly 
among you, and many sleep. 

31 For <4f we would judge ourselves, we 
should not be judged. 

32 But when we are judged, ''we are chas- 
tened of the Lord, that we should not be con- 
demned with the world. 

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come 
together to eat, tarry one for another. 

34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at 
home; that ye come not together unto con- 



church of God? (5). But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how 
thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the 
church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (I Tim. 
3:5, 15.) Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the right- 
eousness which is in the law, blameless. (Phil. 3:6.) 

r. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not 
easily provoked, thinketh no evil. (I Cor. 13:5.) For all seek their own, 
not the things which are Jes # us Christ's. (Phil. 2:21.) Behold, the third 
time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you; 
for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for 
the parents, but the parents for the children. (II Cor. 12:14.) Let 
every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification. (Rom. 
15:2.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. Not because we have not power, but .,o make ourselves an en- 
sample unto you to follow us. (II Thess. 3:9.) 

b. As God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called 
every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. (I Cor. 
7:17.) 

c. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye 
have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. (II Thess. 2:15.) 

d. To this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he 
might be Lord both of the dead and living. (Rom. 14:9.) 

e. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the 
Father: for my Father is greater than I. (Jno. 14:28.) 

f. And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did 
prophesy. (Acts 21:9.) 

g. Then thou shalt bring her [the captive] home to thine house; 
and she shall shave her head. (Dt. 21:12.) 

h. The priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover 
tho woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, 
which is the jealousy offerirjg. (Num. 5:18.) 

1. Cod said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. (Gen. 
1:2(1.) 

I. The rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a 
woman, and brought her unto the man. (Gen. 2:22.) 



k. I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among 
you. (I Cor. 1:10.) 

1. Then said he unto the disciples. It is impossible but that offences 
will come: but woe unto him through whom they come! (Lu. 17:1.) 

m. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Be- 
hold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; 
and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall 
pierce through thine own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts 
may be revealed. (Lu. 2:34, 35.) 

n. And for this cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, that 
by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were 
under the first testament, they which are called might receive the prom- 
ise of eternal inheritance. (Heb. 9:15.) 

o. Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this 
same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in 
like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Acts 1:11.) Be- 
hold, he cometh with clouds; arid every eye shall see him. (Rev. 1:7.) 

p. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own 
selves. (II Cor. 13:5.) Let every man prove his own work. (Gal. 6:4.) 

q. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our 
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I Jno. 1:9.) 

r. Behold, happy is the man whem God correcteth; therefore despise 
not thou the chastening of the Almighty. (Job 5:17.) You only have I 
known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for 
all your iniquities. (Amos 3:2.) I will be his father, and be shall be my 
son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and 
with the stripes of the children of men. (II Sam. 7:14.) Blessed is the 
man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law. 
(Ps. 94:12.) If ye endure chastening, Gofl dealeth with you as with sons; 
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? but if ye be with- 
out chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and 
not sons. Furthermore we have had fathprs of our flesh which cor- 
rected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be 
in subjection unto the Fa'her of spirits, and live? For they verily for 
a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, 
that we might be partakers of his holiness. (Heb. 12:7-10.) ,

when 'I come. 

CHAPTER 12. 
1 Spiritual gifts 4 are divers, 7 yet all to 

profit. 8 And to that end are diversely 

bestowed. 

1 'Now "concerning spiritual 2 gifts, brethren, 
I would not have you ignorant. 

2 Ye know 6 that ye were Gen'tlle§, carried 
away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were 
led. 

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that 
no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth 
Je'sus ^accursed: and that no man can say 
that Je'sus is the Lord, but by the Ho'ly Ghost. 

4 Now d there are diversities of gifts, but the 
same Spirit. 

5 And there are differences of administra- 
tions, but the same Lord. 

6 And there are diversities of operations, 
but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is 
given to every man to profit withal. 

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word 
e of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge 
by the same Spirit; 

9 To f another 'faith by the same Spirit; to 
another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 

10 To ^another the working of miracles; to 
another prophecy; ft to another discerning of 
spirits; to another ^divers kinds of tongues; to 
another the interpretation of tongues: 

11 But ail these worketh that one and the 
selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man several 1 
ly as he will. 

12 Tor as the body is one, and hath many 
members, and all the members of that one 
body, being many, are one body: so also is 
Christ. 

13 For •'by one Spirit are we all baptized 
into one body, '^'whether we be Jew§ or Gen'- 
tlle§, whether we be bond or free; and 'have 
been all made to drink into one Spirit. 

14 For the body' is not one member, but 
many. 

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not 
the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore 
not of the body? 

16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am 
not the eye, I am not of the body; is it there- 
fore not of the body? 

17 If the whole body were an eye, where

church regarding the rightful use 
and abuses of the Lord's Supper. 



2. In vs. 1-11 Paul declares the

3. No man blasphemes Christ who

4. The power of unflinchingly re- 
sisting sin and unshrinkingly embrac-

that the various gifts of the many 
should harmonize the church into one

were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, 
where were the smelling? 

18 But now hath God set the members every 
one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 

19 And if they were all one member, where 
were the body? 

20 But now are they many members, yet but 
one body. 

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I 
have no need of thee: nor again the head to 
the feet, I have no need of you. 

22 Nay, much more those members of the 
body, which seem to be more feeble, are neces- 
sary : 

23 And those members of the body, which 
we think to be less honourable, upon these we 
bestow more abundant honour; and our un- 
comely parts have more abundant comeliness. 

24 For our comely parts have no need: but 
God hath tempered the body together, having 
given more abundant honour to that part which 
lacked : 

25 That there should be no schism in the 
body; but that the members should have the 
same care one for another. 

26 And whether one member suffer, all the 
members suffer with it; or one member be 
honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 

27 Now m ye are the body of Christ, and 
members in particular. 

28 And "God hath set some in the church, 
first "apostles, secondarily ^prophets, thirdly 
teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of 
healings, ?helps, r governments, diversities of 
tongues. 

29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all 
teachers? are all workers of miracles? 

30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all 
speak with tongues? do all interpret? 

31 But s covet earnestly the best gifts: and 
yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. 

CHAPTER 13. 

1 All gifts, 2, 3 how excellent soever, are noth- 
ing worth without charity. 4 The praises 
thereof, and 13 prelation before hope and 
faith. 

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men 
and of angels, and have not "charity, I am 
become 'as sounding brass, or a tinkling cym- 
bal. 

2 And though I have the gift 6 of 'prophecy, 
and understand all mysteries, and all knowl- 



s. For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in 
order the things that are wanting. (Tit. 1:5.) 

t. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, 
not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. (I Cor. 4:19.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that 
ye may prophesy. (I Cor. 14:1.) 

b. Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the 
flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Cir- 
cumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were with- 
out Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers 
from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the 
world. (Eph. 2:11, 12.) 

c. Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon 
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my 
Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 16:17.) Our sufficiency is of God. (II 
Cor. 3:5.) 

d. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, 
and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his 
own will. (Heb. 2:4.) 

e. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not 
the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come 
to nought. (I Cor. 2:6.) And I myself also am persuaded of you, my 
brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, 
able also to admonish one another. (Rom. 15:14.) Now thanks be unto 
God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh mani- 
fest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place. (II Cor. 2:14.) 
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath 
shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory 
of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (II Cor. 4:6.) But though I be 
rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made 
manifest among you in all things. (II Cor. 11:6.) 

f. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not 
we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: 
for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, 
ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it 
shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Mat. 17:19, 20.) 
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, 
and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak. (II 
Cor. 4:13.) 

g. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh 



miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the 
hearing of faith? (Gal. 3:5.) 

h. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they 
are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 
(I Jno. 4:1.) 

i. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak 
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4.) 

j. I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine 
offspring. (Is. 44:3.) For if we have been planted together in the like- 
ness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. 
(Rom. 6:5.) 

k. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncir- 
cumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in 
all. (Col. 3:11.) 

1. It is the Spirit that quiekeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the 
words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (Jno. 
6:63.) 

m. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one 
members one of another. (Rom. 12:5.) [The church] Which is his body, 
the fulness of him that fllleth all in all. (Eph. 1:23.) 

n. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, 
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. (Eph. 4:11.) 

o. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, 
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. (Eph. 2:20.) 

p. Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain proph- 
ets and teachers. (Acts 13:1.) 

q. I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon 
them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou 
bear it not thyself alone. (Num. 11:17.) 

r. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, 
especially they who labor in the word and doctrine. (I Tim. 5:17.) 

s. Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that 
ye may prophesy. (I Cor. 14:1.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, 
and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. (I Tim. 1:5.) 

b.- Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in 
thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto 
them, I never knew yGu: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Mat. 
7:22, 23.)

edge; and though I have all s faith, so c that I 
could remove mountains, and have not charity, 
I am nothing. 

3 And d though I bestow all my goods to feed 
the poor, and though I give my body to be 
burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me 
nothing. 

4 4 Charity f suffereth "long, and is 6 kind; 
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not it- 
self, is not puffed up, 

5 Doth not behave itself ''unseemly, seeketh 
#not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh 
no evil; 

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, ''but rejoiceth in 
the truth; 

7 Beareth 'all things, believeth all things, 
hopeth all things, endureth all things. 

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there 
be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there 
be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be 
knowledge, it shall vanish away. 

9 For %e know in part, and we prophesy in 
part. 

10 But 7, 'when that which is perfect is come, 
then that which is in part shall be done away. 

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I 
understood as a child, I thought as a child: 
but when I became a man, I put away childish 
things. 

12 For 'now we see through a glass, darkly; 
but then '"face to face: now I know in part; 
but then shall I know even as also I am known. 

13 And now abideth 'faith, s hope, 9 charity, 
these three; but the "greatest of these is char- 
ity. 

CHAPTER 14. 
1 Prophecy is commended, 2, 3, 4 and preferred 
before speaking with tongues. 12 Both must 
be referred to edification, 22 as to their true 
end. 34 Women are forbidden to speak in 
the church. 

1 follow after 2<7 charity, and Mesire spir- 
itual gifts, c but rather that ye may prophesy. 

2 For he that d speaketh in an unknown 
tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: 
for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the 
spirit he speaketh c mysteries. 

3 But he that prophesieth 'speaketh unto 
men to edification, and exhortation, and com- 
fort. 



3. Miracle working faith. 



Love.

6. In vs. 4-7 Paul gives a pictura. 
of ideal love in daily life. 



7. A firm and earnest trust, confi- 
dence and' reliance in the statements 
and promises of God, "the substance 
of things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



S. Hope that continually looks for- 
ward to and expects still greater 
blessings at the hands of Jehovah. 



9. Love, the consummation of all 
graces. 



Ch. 14.. A. D. 59. 



1. In vs. 1-21 Paul exhorts the 
church to a careful use of speech, as 
indiscriminate speaking does not build 
up the church. 



2. After love, as the chief aim and 
desire in life. 



4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue 
edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edi- 
fieth the church. 

5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, 
but rather that ye prophesied : for greater is he 
that prophesieth than he that speaketh with 
tongues, except he interpret, that the church 
may receive edifying. 

6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking 
with tongues, what shall I profit you, except 
I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by 
knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? 

7 And even things without life giving sound, 
whether - r 'pipe or harp, except they give a dis- 
tinction in the sounds, how shall it be known 
what is piped or harped? 

8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain 
sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? 

9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the 
tongue words easy to be understood, how shall 
it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak 
into the air. 

10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of 
voices in the world, and none of them is with- 
out signification. 

11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of 
the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a 
barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a 
barbarian unto me. 

12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous 
of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to 
the edifying of the church. 

13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an 
unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 

14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my 
spirit prayeth, but my understanding is un- 
fruitful. 

15 What is it then? I will pray with the 
spirit, and I will pray with the understanding 
also: 7i I will sing with the spirit, and I will 
sing 'with the understanding also. 

16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, 
how shall he that occupieth the room of the 
unlearned say -'Amen at thy giving of thanks, 
seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? 

17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but 
the other is not edified. 

18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues 
more than ye all: 

19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five 
words with my understanding, that by my 



c. And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily 
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall 
say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall 
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Mat. 17:20.) 

d. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of 
them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 
Therefore, when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before 
thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that 
they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their 
reward. (Mat. 6:1, 2.) 

e. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for 
charity shall cover the multitude of sins. (I Pet. 4:8.) 

f. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things 
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if 
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 
(Phil. 4:8.) 

g. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on 
the things of others. (Phil. 2:4.) 

h. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, 
as we have received a commandment from the Father. (II Jno. 4.1 

i. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 
(Gal. 6:2.) 

j. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth 
nothing yet as he ought to know. (I Cor. 8:2.) 

k. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for bright- 
ness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto 
thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. (Is. 60:19.) 

1. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect; 
but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am 
apprehended of Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:12.) 

m. Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet appear 
what we shall be:, but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be 
like him; for we shall see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) And Jacob called 
the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my 
life is preserved. (Gen. 32:30.) With him will I speak mouth to mouth, 
even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the 
Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against 
my servant Moses? (Num. 12:8.) 

n. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like 
unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Mat. 22:38, 39.) 

Chapter 14. 

a. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that 



loveth another hath fulfilled the law. (Rom. 13:8.) And walk in love, 
as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering 
and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor. (Eph. 5:2.) 

b. But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more 
excellent way. (I Cor. 12:31.) 

c. And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and 
took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy 
elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, 
they prophesied, and did not cease. (Num. 11:25.) Having then gifts 
differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, 
let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith. (Rom. 12:6.) 

d. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. 
Then answered Peter. (Acts 10:46.) To another the working of mira- 
cles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another 
divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues (10). 
And God hath set some in the'church, first apostles, secondarily proph- 
ets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, 
governments, diversities of tongues (28). Have all the gifts of healing? 
do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? (I Cor. 12:10, 28, 30.) 
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not 
charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (I Cor. 
13:1.) And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name 
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. (Mk. 
16:17.) 

e. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were 
afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. (Acts 
22:9.) 

f. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our 
learning; that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might 
have hope. (Rom. 15:4.) 

g. They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children 
dance. They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the 
organ. (Job 21:11, 12.) 

h. Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. (Eph. 5:19.) Let 
the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and 
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Col. 3:16.) 

i. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with under- 
standing. (Ps. 47:7.) 

j. And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: 
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of 
me. (I Cor. 11:24.)

voice I might teach others also, than ten thou- 
sand words in an unknown tongue. 

20 Brethren, ^'be not children in understand- 
ing: howbeit in malice be ye 'children, but in 
understanding be men. 

21 In '"the law it is "written, With men of 
other tongues and other lips will I speak unto 
this people; and yet for all that will they not 
hear me, saith the Lord. 

22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to 
them that believe, but to them that believe not: 
but prophesying serveth not for them that be- 
lieve not, but for them which believe. 

23 If therefore the whole church be come 
together into one place, ane! all speak with 
tongues, and there come in those that are un- 
learned, or unbelievers, °will they not say that 
ye are mad? 

24 But if all prophesy, and there come in 
one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is 
convinced of all, he is judged of all: 

25 And thus are the secrets of his heart 
made manifest; and so falling down on his 
face he will worship God, -and report Hhat 
God is in you of a truth. 

26 3 How is it then, brethren? when ye come 
together, every one of you hath a psalm, «hath 
a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, 
hath an interpretation. 'Let all things be done 
unto edifying. 

27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, 
let it be by two, or at the most by three, and 
that by course; and let one interpret. 

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him 
keep silence in the church; and let him speak 
to himself, and to God. 

29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and 
let the other judge. 

30 If any thing be revealed to another that 
sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 

31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that 
all may learn, and all may be comforted. 

32 And s the spirits of the prophets are sub- 
ject to the prophets.. 



• 3. In vs. 26-33 the apostle gives 
the rules which should govern both 
ordinary speaking and the tongue of 
prophecy.

1. In this ch. Paul presents proofs 
of the resurrection of Christ and 
thereby establishing the fact that 
through him his followers shall one 
day rise. 



2. The only place this appearance 
is recorded. 



33 For God is not the author of confusion, 
but of peace, 'as in all churches of the saints. 

34 Let your women keep silence in the 
churches: for it is not permitted unto them to 
speak; but they are "commanded to be under 
obedience, as also saith the ^law. • 

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them 
ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame 
for women to speak in the church.' 

36 What! came the word of God out TO from 
you? or came it unto you only? 

37 If J; any man think himself to be a proph- 
et, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the 
things that I write unto you are the command- 
ments of the Lord. 

38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be 
ignorant. 

39 Wherefore, brethren, ^covet to prophesy, 
and 'forbid not to speak with tongues. 

40 Let all things be done decently and in 
order. 

CHAPTER 15. 
3 By Christ's resurrection, 12 he proveth the 
necessity of our resurrection. 21 The fruit, 
35 and manner thereof. 

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you 
the gospel which I preached unto you, which 
also ye have received, and "wherein ye stand; 

2 By 6 which also ye are saved, if ye keep in 
memory what I preached un'-o you, unless ye 
have believed in vain. 

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that 
which I also received, how that Christ died for 
our sins according c to the scriptures : 

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose 
again the third day according d to the scrip- 
tures : 

5 And e that he was seen of Ce'phas, then of 
the twelve: 

6 After that, he was seen of above 2 five hun- 
dred brethren at once; of whom the greater 
part remain unto this present, but some are 
fallen asleep. 



k. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is 
weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. (Ps. 131:2.) 
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of 
heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise 
and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Mat. 11:25.) For 
your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on 
your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, 
and simple concerning evil. (Rom. 16:19.) 

1. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and 
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 
(Mat. 18:3.) As new-born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, 
that ye may grow thereby. (I Pet. 2:2.) Surely I have behaved and 
quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is 
even as a weaned child. (Ps. 131:2.) For your obedience is come abroad 
unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have 
you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. (Rom. 
16:19.) As new-born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye 
may grow thereby. (I Pet. 2:2.) 

m. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from 
my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? (Jno. 10:32.) 

n. For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to 
this people. (Is. 28:11.) 

o. Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. (Acts 
2:13.) And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, 
Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. 
(Acts 26:24.) 

p. Thus saith the Lord, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of 
Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, 
and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they 
shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make 
supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none 
else, there is no God. (Is. 45:14.) Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In 
those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all 
languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is 
a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is 
with you. (Zech. 8:23.) The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of 
a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a .Lord of kings, and 
a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. (Dan. 
2:47.) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and per- 
ceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and 
they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 
4:13.) 

q. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another 
the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same 
Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit. (I Cor. 
12:8, 9.) 

r. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, 
and things wherewith one may edify another. (Rom. 14:19.) Again, 
think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in 
Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. (II 
Cor. 12:19.) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the min- 
istry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. (Eph. 4:12.) 



s. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether 
they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the 
world. (I Jno. 4:1.) 

t. But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, 
neither the churches of God. (I Cor. 11:16.) 

u. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is 
Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ 
is God. (I Cor. 11:3.) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own hus- 
bands, as unto the Lord. (Eph. 5:22.) Likewise, ye wives, be in sub- 
jection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also 
may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives. (I Pet. 
3:1.) 

v. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and 
thy conception: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy 
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Gen. 3:16.) 

w. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up 
to the mountain of the Lord, to the house ot the God of Jacob; and he 
will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of 
Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 
(Is. 2:3.) 

x. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you de- 
spiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. (Lu. 
10:16.) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us: he that is not 
of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the 
spirit of error. (I Jno. 4:6.) 

y. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we 
be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all 
made to drink into one Spirit. (I Cor. 12:13.) Despise not prophesyings. 
(I Thess. 5:20.) 

Chapter 15. 

a. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we 
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Rom. 5:2.) 

b. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the 
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew 
first, and also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16.) For after that in the wisdom 
of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the fool- 
ishness of preaching to save them that believe. (I Cor. 1:21.) 

c. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for 
odr iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with 
his stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) And after threescore and two 
weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of 
the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; 
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war 
desolations are determined. (Dan. 9:26.) 

d. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer 
thine Holy One to see corruption. (Ps. 16:10.) Yet it pleased the Lord 
to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his 
soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, 
and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. (Is. 53:10.) 

e. Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 
(Lu. 24:34.)

7 After that, he was seen of Jame§; then of 
fall the apostles. 

8 And tflast of all he was seen of me also, as 
of one born out of due time. 

9 For I am the least of the apostles, that 
am not meet to be called an apostle, because I 
persecuted the church of God. 

10 But A by the grace of God I am what I 
am : and his grace which was bestowed upon 
me was not in vain; but I laboured more abun- 
dantly than they all : 'yet not I, but the grace 
of God which was with me. 

11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so 
we preach, and so ye believed. 

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose 
from the dead, how say some among you that 
•'there is no resurrection of the dead? 

13 But if there be no resurrection of the 
dead, l then is Christ not risen : 

14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our 
preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 

15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of 
God; because we have testified of God that he 
raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so 
be that the dead rise not. 

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not 
Christ raised: 

17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is 
vain; ye are yet in your sins. 

18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in 
Christ are perished. 

19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, 
we are of all men most miserable. 

20 But now 'is Christ risen from the dead, 
and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 

21 For "'since by man came death, "by man 
came also the resurrection of the dead. 

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ 
shall all be made alive. 

23 But "every man in his own order: Christ 
the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's 
at his coming. 

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have 
delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Fa- 
ther; when he shall have put down all rule and 
all authority and power. 

25 For he must reign, Ptill he hath put all 
enemies under his feet. 

26 The r dast enemy that shall be destroyed 
is death. 

27 For he 'hath put all things under his 
feet. But when he saith all things are put 
under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, 
which did put all things under him. 

28 And s when all things shall be subdued 
unto him, then shall the Son also himself be

4. As there is such a great differ- 
ence existing between the sun, moon 
and stars — ail seeming so much alike 
— so there will be a great difference 
between our present bodies and resur- 
rected bodies, though still continuing 
to be bodies. 



5. Similar to the difference of the 
natural bodies in v. 41 is the differ- 
ence between man's natural and resur- 
rected bodies. 



C. Notwithstanding. 



subject unto him that put all things under him, 
that God may be all in all. 

29 Else what shall they do which are bap- 
tized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? 
why are they then baptized for the dead? 

30 And why stand we in jeopardy every 
hour? 

31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have 
in Christ Je'sus our Lord, 'I die daily. 

32 If after the manner of men I have fought 
with beasts at Eph'e-sus, what advantageth it 
me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; 
for to morrow we die. 

33 Be not deceived : evil communications cor- 
rupt good manners. 

34 Awake "to righteousness, and sin not; 
for some have not the knowledge of God: I 
speak this to your shame. 

35 But some man will say, "How are the 
dead raised up? and with what body do they 
come? 

36 Thou "fool, '"'that which thou sowest is 
not quickened, except it die: 

37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest 
not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it 
may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 

38 But J God giveth it a body as it hath 
pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 

39 All flesh is not the same flesh : but there 
is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of 
beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 

40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies 
terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is 
one, and the glory of the terrestrial is an- 
other. 

41 There is 4 one glory of the sun, and an- 
other glory of the moon, and another glory of 
the stars: for one star differeth from another 
star in glory. 

42 "So r 'also is the resurrection of the dead. 
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incor- 
ruption : 

43 s It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in 
glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in 
power : 

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised 
a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and 
there is a spiritual body. 

45 And so it is written, The first man Ad'am 
aa was made a living soul; the last Ad'am was 
made a quickening spirit. 

46 "Howbeit that was not first which is spir- 
itual, but that which is natural ; and afterward 
that which is spiritual. 

47 66 The first man is of the earth, earthy: 
the second man is the Lord cc from heaven. 



1. To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many 
infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the 
things pertaining to the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3.)

j. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus

in Judea are in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered like things of 
your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews. (I Thess. 2:14.)

by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

n. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that 
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. (Jno. 11:25.) 

o. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which 
are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent 
them which are asleep. (I Thess. 4:15.) 

p. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I 
make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) But to which of the 
angels said he at any time. Sit on my right hand, until I make thine 
enemies thy footstool? (Heb. 1:13.) 

q. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, 
he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he 
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. (Heb. 
2:14.) 



r. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given 
unto me in heaven and in earth. (Mat. 28:18.) 

s. That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather

that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (II 
Cor. 4:10.) 

u. Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ 
shall give thee light. (Eph. 5:14.) 

v. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I 
answered. O Lord God, thou knowest. (Ez. 37:3.) 

w. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into

104:14.) 

y. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firma- 
ment; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever 
and ever. (Dan. 12:3.) 

z. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look 
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, 
that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the 
working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 
(Phil. 3:20, 21.) 

aa. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and

cc. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came 
down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. (Jno. 3:13.)

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that 
are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are 
they also that are heavenly. 

49 And (W as we have borne the image of the 
earthy, Cf we shall also bear the image of the 
heavenly. 

50 Now this I say, brethren, that ''''flesh and 
blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nei- 
ther doth corruption inherit incorruption. 

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall 
not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, 
at the last trump : ssfor the trumpet shall 
sound, and the dead shall be raised incorrupti- 
ble, and we shall be changed. 

53 For this corruptible .must put on incor- 
ruption, and 7l7, this mortal must put on im- 
mortality. 

54 So when this corruptible shall have put 
on incorruption, and this mortal shall have 
put on immortality, then shall be brought to 
pass the saying that is written, Death is swal- 
lowed up in victory. 

55 O death, where is thy sting? grave, 
where is thy victory? 

56 The sting of death is sin; and the 
strength of sin is the law. 

57 But "thanks be to God, which giveth us 
J-'the victory through our Lord Je'sus Christ. 

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, Wf be ye 
stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the 
work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that 
your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 

CHAPTER 16.

brethren at Jerusalem. 10 He commendeth 
Timothy.

Ga-la'tia, even so do ye. 

2 Upon 6 the first /day of the week let every 
one of you lay by him in store, as God hath 
prospered him, that there be no gatherings 
when I come. 

3 And when I come, c whomsoever ye shall 
approve by your letters, them will I send to

pass through Mac-e-do'ni-a: for I do pass 
through Mac-e-do'ni-a. 

6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and 
winter with you, that ye may d bring me on my 
journey whithersoever I go. 

7 For I will not see you now by the way; 
but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the 
Lord permit. 

8 But I will tarry at Eph'e-sus until Pen'te- 
cost. 

9 For a great door and effectual is opened 
unto me, and r there are many adversaries. 

10 Now if Ti-mo'the-us come, see that he 
may be with you without fear: for he worketh 
the work of the Lord, as I also do. 

11 Let no man therefore despise him: but 
conduct him forth in peace, that he may come 
unto me: for I look for him with the brethren. 

12 As touching our ''brother A-p61'16s, I 
greatly desired him to come unto you with the 
brethren: but his will was not at all to come 
at this time; but he will come when he shall 
have convenient time. 

13 s Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit 
you like men, be strong. 

14 Let all your things be done with charity. 

15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the 
house of Steph'a-nas, that it is the nrstfruits 
of A-cha'ia, and that they have addicted them- 
selves to the ministry of the saints,) 

16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and 
to every one that helpeth with us, and labour- 
eth. 

17 I am glad of the coming of Steph'a-nas 
and For-tu-na'tus and A-cha'i-cus: s'for that 
which was lacking on your part they have 
supplied. 

18 For they have refreshed my spirit and 
your's: therefore acknowledge ye them that 
are such. 

19 The ''churches of A'§ia salute you. Aq'ui- 
la and Pris-cil'la salute you much in the Lord, 
with the church that is in their house. 

20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one 
another with an holy kiss.

hand. 

22 If any man love not the Lord Je'§us 
Christ, 'let him be An-ath'e-ma 'Mar'an-a'tha. 

23 The grace of our Lord Je'sus Christ be 
with you. 

24 My love be with you all in Christ Je'sus. 
Amen. 



dd. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son 
in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth. (Gen. 
5:3.) 

ee. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be eon- 
formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among 
many brethren. (Rom. 8:29.) 

ff. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto 
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God 
(3). Jesus answered. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be 
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of 
God. (Jno. 3:3, 5.) 

gg. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, 
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one 
end of heaven to the other. (Mat. 24:31.) 

hh. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: 
not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality 
might be swallowed up of life. (II Oor. 5:4.) 

ii. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the 
mind I mvself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. 
(Rom. 7:25.) 

jj. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through 
him that loved us. (Rom. 8:37.) Forasmuch, then as the children are 
partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the 
same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of 
death, that is, the devil. (Heb. 2:14.) For whatsoever is born of God 
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, 
even our faith. (I Jno. 5:4.) And God shall wipe away all tears from 
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor cry- 
ing, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are 
passed away. (Rev. 21:4.) 

kk. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to 
give every man according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) 

Chapter 16. 

a. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, deter- 
mined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea. (Acts 
11:29.) 

b. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in 



the power of thine hand to do it. (Prov. 3:27.) I was in the Spirit on 
the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet. 
(Rev. 1:10.) 

c. But thanks be to God", which put the same earnest care into the 
heart of Titus for you (16). And not that only, but who was also 
chosen of the churches to travel with us with this graoe, which is ad- 
ministered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your 
ready mind. (II Cor. 8:16, 19.) 

d. And being brought on their way by the church, they passed 
through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: 
and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. (Acts 15:3.) 

e. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil 
of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated 
the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. (Acts 19:9.) 

f. And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to 
Pamphylia. (Acts 14:24.) Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their 
journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. (Tit. 3:13.) 

g. And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable 
to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came 
from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from 
being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. (II Cor. 11:9.) 

h. John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto 
you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to 
come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne. (Rev. 
1:4.) 

i. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel 
unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be 
accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach 
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ac- 
cursed. (Gal. 1:8, 9.) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received 
the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. 
(Heb. 10:26.) 

j. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, 
saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints, To 
execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among 
them of all their ungodly deeds which they, have ungodly committed, and 
of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against 
him, (Jude 14, 15.) 



THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 



CORINTHIANS 



NOTE. — II Corinthians ms written by tbe apostle Panl in the year 57 A. D. to the church at Corinth in Greece, on the general subject of the authority and 
character of tbe Apostolic College. Paul was in Macedonia at the time of the writing. 



CHAPTER 1. 
3 The apostle encourageth them against trou- 
bles, by the comforts and deliverances which 
God had given him. 15 He excuseth his 
not coming to them. 

1 Paul, en apostle of Je'sus Christ by the 
will of God, and Tim'o-thy our brother, unto 
the church of God which is at Cor'inth, with all 
the saints which are in all A-cha'ia: 

2 Grace 2 be to you and peace from God our 
Father, and from the Lord Je'sus Christ, 

3 Blessed be God, even the a Father of our 
Lord Je'sus Christ, the Father of mercies, and 
the God of all comfort; 

4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, 
that we may be able to comfort them which 
are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith 
we ourselves are comforted of God. 

5 For as 'the sufferings of 2 Christ abound 
in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by 
Christ. 

6 And whether we be afflicted, f it is for your 
consolation and salvation, which is effectual in 
the enduring of the same sufferings which we 
also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is 
for your consolation and salvation. 

7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, 
that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so 
shall ye be also of the consolation. 

8 s For we would not, brethren, have you 
ignorant of our trouble which came to us in 
A'sia, that we were pressed out of measure, 
above strength, insomuch that we despaired 
even of life: 

9 But we had the sentence of death in our- 
selves, that we should not ^trust in ourselves, 
but in God which raiseth the dead: 

10 Who delivered us from so great a death, 
and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he 
will yet deliver us; 

11 Ye also helping together by prayer for 
us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the 
means of many persons thanks may be given 
by many on our behalf. 

12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony 
of our "conscience, that in Simplicity and fgod- 
ly sincerity, ^not with fleshly wisdom, but by 
the grace of God, we have had our conversation 
in the world, and more abundantly to you- 
ward. 

13 For we write none other things unto you, 



Ch. 1. A, D. 60, 



1. According to Doddridge, this 
benediction occurs in eleven of Paul's 
epistles. 



2. For Christ's sake are sufferings 
endured, because of their deyotion to 
him. 



3. In ts. S-14 Paul gives an ac- 
count of his affliction in Asia and his 
purpose to visit the church at Corinth. 



4. That is. he bad the assurance 
of his conscience that his life was 
right before God. 



Holiness. 



6. In vs. 15-22 Paul has changed 
the plan of his journey and here 
states that it was because of the 
divine leadings of the spirit that he 
made the change. 



7. Grace. 



As a witness.

penitence. 



than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust 
ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 

14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, 
''that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are 
ours in the day of the Lord Je'sus. 

15 6 And in this confidence 'I was minded to 
come unto you before, that ye might have 7 a 
second benefit; 

16 And to pass by you into Mac-e-do'ni-a, 
and to come again out of Mac-e-do'ni-a unto 
you, and of you to be brought on my way 
toward Ju-dse'a. 

17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I 
use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do 
I purpose 'according to the flesh, that with me 
there should be yea yea, and nay nay? 

18 But as God is true, our word toward you 
was not yea and nay. 

19 For the Son of God, Je'sus Christ, who 
was preached among you by us, even by me 
and ''Sil-va'nus and Ti-mo'the-us, was not yea 
and nay, but in him was yea. 

20 For 'all the promises of God in him are 
yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God 
by us. 

21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in 
Christ, and '"hath anointed us, is God; 

22 Who "hath also sealed us, and given °the 
earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 

23 Moreover I call God for a 'record upon 
my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet 
unto Cor'inth. 

24 Not for that we have dominion over your 
faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by 
Pfaith ye stand. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Having shewed the reason why he came not 
to them, 6 he requireth them to forgive that 
excommunicated person. 

1 But I determined this with myself, that a I 
would not come again to you in heaviness. 

2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then 
that maketh me glad, but the same which is 
made sorry by me? 

3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when 
I came, I should have Sorrow from them of 
whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in 
you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. 

4 For out of much affliction and anguish of 
heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not 
that ye should be grieved, but that ye might

a. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall 
arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Mie. 
7:S.) 

b. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, 
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? (Acts 9:4.) Who now rejoice 
in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the af- 
flictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church. 
(Col. 1:24.) 

c. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might 
through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. (II 
Cor. 4:15.) 

d. Thus saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, 
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord 
15). Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope 
the Lord is. (Jer. 17:5. 7. i 

e. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, 
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. 
HI Pet. 2:9.) 

f. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him and com- 
fort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with over- 
murh sorrow. (II Cor. 2:7.) 

g. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words 
of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. (I 
Cor. 2:4.) 

h. For we commend not ourselves again unto you. but give you 
occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer 
them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. (II Cor. 5:12. ) 

i. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know. 
not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. (I Cor. 
4:19.)

j. But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present 
with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which 
think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. (II Cor. 10:2.) 

k. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving 
them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us. (Acts 15:8.) 

1. Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision 
for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. 
(Rom. 15:8.) 

m. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all 
things (20). But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth 
in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same 
anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and 
even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (I Jno. 2:20, 27.) 

n. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed 
unto the day of redemption. (Eph. 4:30.) 

o. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption 
of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. (Eph. 1:14.) 

p. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou stand- 
est by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear. (Rom. 11:20.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I 
would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest 
there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, 
swellings, tumults. (II Cor. 12:20.) 

b. For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, 
though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made 
you sorry, though it were but for a season. Now I rejoice, not that ye 
were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made 
sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in 
nothing. (II Cor. 7:8, 9.)

know the love which I have more abundantly 
unto you. 

5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not 
grieved me, but in part: that I may not over- 
charge you all. 

6 Sufficient to such a man is this punish- 
ment, which was inflicted of many. 

7 So "that contrariwise ye ought rather to 
forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps 
such a one should be swallowed up with over- 
much sorrow. 

8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would 
confirm your love toward him. 

9 For to this end also did I write, that I 
might know the proof of you, whether ye be 
obedient in all things. 

10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive 
also : for if I forgave any thing, to whom 
I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the 
person of Christ; 

11 ,J Lest Sa'tan should get an advantage of 
us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

12 "Furthermore, when I came to Tro'as to 
preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened 
unto me of the Lord, 

13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I 
found not Ti'tus my brother: but taking my 
leave of them, I went from thence into Mac-e- 
do'ni-a. 

14 Now thanks "be unto God, which always 
causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh 
manifest the savour ^of his knowledge by us 
in every place. 

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of 
Christ, in them that are saved, and in them 
that perish: 

16 To the one we are the savour of death 
unto death; and to the other the savour of life 
unto life. And who is sufficient for these 
things? 

17 For we are not as many, which corrupt 
the word of God : but as of sincerity, but as of 
God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Lest their false teachers should charge him

mendation to you, or letters of commendation 
from you? 

2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, 
known and read of 'all men: 

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared 
to be the epistle of Christ ministered 6 by us, 
written not with ink, but with the ^Spirit of 
the living God; not "in tables of stone, but in 
''fleshy tables of the heart. 

4 And such trust have we through Christ to 
God- ward : 

5 Not "that we are sufficient of ourselves to 
think any thing as of ourselves; but ''our suf- 
ficiency is of God; 

6 Who also hath made us 'able ministers of 
"the new testament; not ''of the letter, but of 
the 4 spirit: for 'the letter killeth, J'but the 
spirit giveth life. 

7 But if the ministration of death, written 
and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that 
the children of Is'ra-el could not stedfastly 
behold the face of Mo'§e§ for the glory of his 
countenance; which glory was to be done away: 

8 How shall not fc the ministration of the 
spirit be rather glorious? 

9 For if the ministration 'of condemnation 
be glory, much more doth the ministration '"of 
righteousness exceed in glory. 

10 For even that which was made glorious 
had no glory in this respect, by reason of the 
glory that excelleth. 

11 For if that which is done away was 
glorious, much more that which remaineth is 
glorious. 

12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we 
uce great "plainness of speech: 

13 And not as Mo'se§, which put a vail over 
his face, that the children of Is'ra-el could not 
stedfastly look to the end of that which is 
abolished: 

14 But "their minds were blinded: for until 
this day remaineth the same vail untaken away 
in the reading of the old testament; which vail 
is done away in Christ. 

15 But even unto this day, when Mo'§e§ is 
read, the 5 vail is upon their heart. 

16 Nevertheless ' ; when it shall turn to the 
Lord, ^the vail "shall be taken away. 

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where 
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 

18 But we all, with open face beholding as 



c. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spir- 
itual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thy- 
self, lest thou also be tempted. (Gal. 6:1.) 

d. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a 
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (I Pet. 5:8.) 

e. What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, 
and in the spirit of meekness? (I Cor. 4:21.) But I determined this 
with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness (1). 
And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sor- 
row from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you 
all, that my joy is the joy of you all. (II Cor. 2:1 3.) 

f. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples 
to the flock. (I Pet. 5:3.) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bond- 
age, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt him- 
self, if a man smite you on the face. (II Cor. 11:20.) For we preach 
not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants 
for Jesus' sake. (II Cor. 4:5.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you 
occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer 
them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. (II Cor. 5:12.) 

b. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom 
ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? (I Cor. 3:5.) 

c. And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, 
and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and 
commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. 
(Ex. 24:12.) 

d. I delight to do thy will, my God: yea, thy law is within my 
heart. (Ps. 40:8.) For this is the covenant that I will make with the 
house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into 
their mind, and write them in their hearts; and I will be to them a God, 
and they shall be to me a people. (Heb. 8:10.) 

e. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and 
I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can 
do nothing. (Jno. 15:5.) 

f. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which 
was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly 
than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (I 
Cor. 15:10.) 

g. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how 
much also he is the Mediator of a better covenant, which was estab- 
lished upon better promises (6). For, finding fault with them, he saith, 



Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new cove- 
nant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. (Heb. 
8:6, 8.) 

h. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead where- 
in we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in 
the oldness of the letter. (Rom. 7:6.) 

i. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be jus- 
tified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (Rom. 3:20.) 

j. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me 
free from the law of sin and death. (Rom. 8:2.) 

k. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh 
miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the 
hearing of faith? (Gal. 3:5.) 

1. Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do 
them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 27:26.) For ye are not 
come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with 
fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of 
a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard en- 
treated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For 
they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a 
beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a 
dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly 
fear and quake.) (Heb. 12:18-21.) 

m. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to 
faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 1:17.) 

n. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing 
threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is 
there respect of persons with him. (Eph. 6:9.) Now when they saw the 
boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned 
and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, 
that they had been with Jesus (13). And now, Lord, behold their 
threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they 
may speak thy word. (Acts 4:13, 29.) But even after that we had 
suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Phi- 
lippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God 
with much contention. (I Thess. 2:2.) 

0. He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they 
should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and he 
converted, and I should heal them. (Jno. 12:40.) 

p. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted 
in: for God is able to graft them in again. (Rom. 11:23.)

as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 He declareth hoiv he hath used all sincerity 
and faithful diligence in preaching the gos- 
pel, 7 and how the persecutions which he \ 
daily endured for the same did redound to . 
the praise of God's power, 12 to the benefit 
of the church. 

1 Therefore Seeing we have this ministry, 
as we have received mercy, a we faint not; 

2 But have renounced the hidden things of 
^dishonesty, not walking in 'craftiness, hiov 
handling the word of God deceitfully; but by 
manifestation of the truth commending our- 
selves to every man's conscience in the sight of 
God. 

3 But if our gospel be hid, ^it is hid to them 
that are lost: 

4 In whom d the god of this world f hath 
blinded the minds of them which believe not, 
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 
f\vho is the image of God, should shine unto 
them. 

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ 
Jesus the Lord; and ^ourselves your servants 
for Je'sus' sake. 

6 For God, who commanded the light to 
shine out of darkness, hath shined in our 
hearts, to give ''the light of the knowledge of 
the glory of God in the face of Je'sus Christ. 

7 But we have this treasure in earthen ves- 
sels, 'that the excellency of the power may be 
of God, and not of us. 

8 We are troubled on every side, yet not 
distressed; we are perplexed, but not in 
despair; 

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, 
but not destroyed; 

10 Always bearing about in the body the 
dying of the Lord Je'sus, that the life also of 
Je'sus might be made manifest in our body. 

11 For we which live are alway delivered 
unto death for Je'sus' sake, that the life also 
of Je'sus might be made manifest in our mortal 
flesh. 

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in 
you.

Ch. 4. A. D. 60. 



1. In eh. 4 Paul declares his 
preaching to be open and sincere. 
While it is hidden to some, it is be- 
cause he preaches Christ whom they 
do not know. 



Shame. 



3. Unserupulousness. 



Ch. 5. A. D. 60. 



1. In ch. 5 he writes to the church 
concerning the hope of eternal glory 
in the resurrected body, therefore his 
ambition and endeavor to deal openly 
with all men and to be accepted with 
the Lord. 



2. The apostle here intimates the 
body to be as a house, with the soul 
as the occupant. 



3. Gone to pieces. 



4. From God. Permanent, solid, 
as all the works of God are. 



5. A disembodied spirit. 



6. Thus a disembodied spirit would 
be as unprepared to enter heaven as 
an undressed person would the parlor. 



7. That is, faith which is a firm 
and earnest trust, confidence and re- 
liance in the statements and promises 
of God. The light by which we walk, 
"the substance of things hoped for. 
the evidence of things not seen." 



13 We having the same spirit of faith, ac- 
cording as it is written, -'I believed, and there- 
fore have I spoken; we also believe, and there- 
fore speak; 

14 Knowing that he which raised up the 
Lord Je'sus shall raise up us also by Je'sus, 
and shall present us with you. 

15 For all things are for your sakes, that 
the abundant grace might through the thanks- 
giving of many redound to the glory of God. 

16 For which cause we faint not; but though 
our outward man perish, yet the inward man 
is renewed day by day. 

17 For our light affliction, which is but for 
a moment, worketh for us a far more exceed- 
ing and eternal weight of glory; 

18 While we look not at the things which are 
seen, but at the things which are not seen : for 
the things which are seen are temporal; but 
the things which are not seen are eternal. 

CHAPTER 0. 
1 That in his assured hope of immortal glory, 
9 he laboureth to keep a good conscience, 
18 and by his ministry of reconciliation to 
reconcile others also in Christ to God. 

1 For Ve know that if 'our 2 earthly house 
of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a 
■•building of ^God, an house not made with 
hands, eternal in the heavens. 

2 For in this c we groan, earnestly desiring 
to be clothed upon with our house which is 
from heaven: 

3 If so be that ^eing clothed we shall not 
be found "naked. 

4 For we that are in this tabernacle do 
groan, being burdened: not for that we would 
be unclothed, but c clothed upon, that mortality 

might be swallowed up of life. 

5 Now r'he that hath wrought us for the 
selfsame thing is God, who -'also hath given 
unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 

6 Therefore we are always confident, know- 
ing that, whilst we are at home in the body, 
we are absent from the Lord: 

7 (For 'we walk Try faith, not by sight:) 

8 We are confident, I say, 'and willing 
rather to be absent from the body, and to be 
present with the Lord. 



cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. (Is. 
25:7.) 

r. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (Jno. 17:17.) 
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after 
the image of him that created him. (Col. 3:10.) 

Chapter. 4. 

a. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought 
always to pray, and not to faint. (Lu. 18:1.) And let us not be weary 
in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 
6:9.) Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, 
•which is your glory. (Eph. 3:13.) But ye, brethren, be not weary in 
well-doing. (II Thess. 3:13.) 

b. For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor 
in guile (3). For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye 
know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness. (I Thess. 2:3, 5.) 

c. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but 
understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. (Is. 6:9.) 

d. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this 
world be cast out. (Jno. 12:31.) 

e. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, 
and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their 
ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. (Is. 
6:10.) 

f. Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, and against the man that 
is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the Shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn mine hand upon the little 
ones. (Zech. 13:7.) No man hath seen God at any time; the only be- 
gotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 
(Jno. 1:18.) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, 
and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath 
seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? 
(Jno. 14:9.) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to 
be equal with God. (Phil. 2:6.) Who is the image of the invisible God. 
the first-born of every creature. (Col. 1:15.) Who being the brightness 
of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all 
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our 
sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Heb. 1:3.) 

g. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself 
servant unto all, that I might gain the more. (I Cor. 9:19.) 

h. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy 
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of 
him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. (I 
Pet. 2:9.) 



i. That vour faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in 
the power of God. (I Cor. 2:5.) 

j. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted. (Ps. 
116:10.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. Yea, I think It meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir 
you up by putting you in remembrance; Knowing that shortly I must 
put off this mv tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown 
me. (II Pet. 1:13, 14.) 

b. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like 
unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able 
even to subdue all things unto himself. (Phil. 3:21.) For he looked for 
a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (Heb. 
11:10.) We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with 
hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands, 
(ilk. 14:5S.) Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in temples made 
with hands; as saith the prophet. (Acts 7:48.) But Christ being come 
an High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect 
tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building 
(11). It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the 
heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things them- 
selves witn better sacrifices than these. (Heb. 9:11, 23.) 

c. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first- 
fruits of the Spirit," even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting 
for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Rom. 8:23.) 

d. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou may- 
est be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that 
the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with 
eye-salve, that thou mayest see. (Rev. 3:18.) 

e. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal 
must put on immortality. (I Cor. 15:53.) 

f. But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the 
midst of him. thev shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One 
of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. (Is. 29:23.) 

g. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, 
the gospel of your salvation: in whom also, after that ye believed, ye 
were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of 
our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto 
the praise of his glory. (Eph. 1:13, 14.) 

h. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: 
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 
(I Cor. 13:12.) 

i. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and 
to be with Christ; which is far better. (Phil. 1:23.)

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether pres- 
ent or absent, we may be accepted of him. 

10 For we must all ^appear 'before the judg- 
ment seat of Christ; ,: that every one may re- 
ceive the things done in his body, according to 
that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, 
we persuade men; but we are made manifest 
unto God; and I trust also are made manifest 
in your consciences. 

12 For we commend not ourselves again 
unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our 
behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer 
them which glory in appearance, and not in 
heart. 

13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is 
to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your 
cause. 

14 'For the love of Christ constraineth us; 
because we thus judge, that 'if one died for all, 
then were all dead: 

15 And that he died for all, "'that they which 
live should not henceforth live unto them- 
selves, but unto him which died for them, and 
rose again. 

16 Wherefore "henceforth know we no man 
after the flesh: yea, though we have known 
Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know 
we him no more. 

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is 
a new creature: ^old things are passed away; 
behold, all things are become new. 

18 And all things are of God, who hath 
reconciled us to himself by Je'sus Christ, and 
hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, recon- 
ciling the world unto himself, not imputing 
their trespasses unto them; and hath commit- 
ted unto us the word of reconciliation. 

20 Now then we are ^ambassadors for 
Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: 
we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye recon- 
ciled to God. 

21 For r 4ie hath made him to be sin for us, 
who 'knew no sin; that we might be made 
s the righteousness of God in him. 



S. Be manifested, the secret re- 
vealed. 



9. In vs. 14-19 Paul declares the 
power of Christ's love impels him to 
the zeal which he displays.

3. Made pure from all false deeds

4. In vs. 11-1S the apostle exhorts

5. That is. straitened or narrowed

Wickedness, worthlessness. 



CHAPTER 6. 

1 He hath approved himself a faithful minis- 
ter of Christ, by his exhortations, 3 and by 
integrity of life, 4 and by patient enduring 
all kinds of affliction for the gospel. 

1 'We then, as a workers together 2 with him, 
beseech you also 6 that ye receive not the grace 
of God in vain. " 

2 (For he saith, C I have heard thee in a time 
accepted, and in the day of salvation have I 
succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted 
time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 

3 Giving no ''offence in any thing, that the 
ministry be not blamed: 

4 But in all things Approving ourselves as 
'the ministers of God, in much patience, in 
afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 

5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, 
in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 

6 :i By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffer- 
ing, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love 
unfeigned, 

7 By the word of truth, by #the power of 
God, by "the armour of I'ighteousness on the 
right hand and on the left, 

8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report 
and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 

9 As unknown, and 'yet well known; -'as 
dying, and, behold, we live; 7i "as chastened, and 
not killed; 

10 As 'sorrowful, yet alway 'rejoicing; as 
poor, yet making many rich; as having noth- 
ing, and yet possessing all things. 

11 4 ye Co-rinth'i-an§, our mouth is open 
unto you, our heart is enlarged. 

12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are 
straitened in your 5 own bowels. 

13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I 
speak as unto my children,) be ye also en- 
larged. 

14 Be ye not "unequally yoked together with 
unbelievers: for "'what fellowship hath right- 
eousness with unrighteousness? and what com- 
munion hath light with darkness? " 

15 And what concord hath Christ with 7 Be'- 



j. For the Son of man shall come in the glory o£ his Father with 
his angels: and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 
(Mat. 16:27.) And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to 
testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick 
and dead. (Acts 10:42.) In the day when God shall judge the secrets 
of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Rom. 2:16.) But why 
dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy 
brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (10). 
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. (Rom. 
14:10, 12.) Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the 
same shall he receive of the Lord, w'hether he be bond or free. (Eph. 
6:8.) 

k. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give 
every man according as his work shall be. (Rev. 22:12.) 

1. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through 
the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the 
gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto 
many. (Rom. 5:15.) 

m. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh 
to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. (I Pet. 4:2.) 

n. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in 
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Mat. 12:50.) 

0. For, behold, I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the 
former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Is. 65:17.) And 
he that sat upon the throne said. Behold, I make all things new. (Rev. 
21:5.) Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things 
of old. (Is. 43:18.) And that ye put on the new man, which after 
God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Eph. 4:24.) And 
God shall -wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no 
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more 
pain: for the former things are passed away. (Rev. 21:4.) 

p. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should 
seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of 
hosts. (Mai. 2:7.) For which I am an ambassador in bonds; that 
therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. (Eph. 6:20.) 

q. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one 
to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all (6). 
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; 
because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth (9). 
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall 
divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul 
unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare 
the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Is. 53:6, 
9, 12.) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made 
a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a 
tree. (Gal. 3:13.) 

r. For such an High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, un- 
defiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. 
(Heb. 7:26.) 

s. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: 



and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR 
RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jer. 23:6.) For therein is the righteousness of God 
revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by 
faith. (Rom. 1:17.) And be found in him, not having mine own right- 
eousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of 
Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Phil. 3:9.) 
Chapter 6. 

a. For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, 
ye are God's building. (I Cor. 3:9.) 

b. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to 
all men. (Tit. 2:11.) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace 
of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby 
many be defiled. (Heb. 12:15.) 

c. Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, 
and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, 
and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to 
cause to inherit the desolate heritages. (Is. 49:8.) 

d. If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? 
Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest 
we should hinder the gospel of Christ. (I Cor. 9:12.) 

e. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walk- 
ing in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by 
manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's con- 
science in the sight of God. (II Cor. 4:2.) 

f. Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and 
stewards of the mysteries of God. (I Cor. 4:1.) 

g. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words 
of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. (I 
Cor. 2:4.) 

h. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith. (II Tim. 4:7.) 

i. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men: 
but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made mani- 
fest in your consciences. (II Cor. 5:11.) 

j. For I think that God hath set forth us the aspostles last, as it 
were, appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, 
and to angels, and to men. (I. Cor. 4:9.) 

k. The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me 
over unto death. (Ps. 118:18.) 

1. . Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glory- 
ing of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all 
our tribulation. (II Cor. 7:4.) And ye became followers of us, and of 
the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the 
Holy Ghost. (I Thess. 1:6.) Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice 
and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all. (Phil. 2:17.) 
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I sa3 r , Rejoice. (Phil. 4:4.) Who 
now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind 
of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is 
the church. (Col. 1:24.)

li-al? or what part hath he that believeth with 
an infidel? 

16 And what agreement hath the temple of 
God with idols? for "ye are the temple of the 
"living God; as God hath said, "I will dwell in 
them, and walk in them; and I will be their 
God, and they shall be my people. 

17 Wherefore i>come Vat from among them, 
and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch 
not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord 
Almighty.

1 He exhorteth them to purity of life, 2 and 
to bear him like affection as he doth to them: 
3 and declareth what comfort he took in his 
afflictions. 

1 having "therefore these promises, dearly 
beloved, let us cleanse "ourselves from all filthi- 
ness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness 
in the fear of God. 

2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we 
have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no 
man. 

3 I speak not this to 3 condemn you: for I 
have said before, that ye are in our hearts to 
die and live with you. 

4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, 
great *is my glorying of you: C I am filled with 
comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribu- 
lation. 

5 For, d when we were come into ilac-e-do'- 
ni-a, our flesh had no rest, but we were trou- 
bled on every side; without ''were fightings, 
within were fears. 

6 Nevertheless f'God, that comforteth those 
that are cast down, comforted us by the coming 
of Ti'tus; 

7 And not by his coming only, but by the 
consolation wherewith he was comforted in 
you, when he told us your earnest desire, your 
mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so 
that I rejoiced the more. 

8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, 
I do not repent, though 7, I did repent: for I 
perceive that the same epistle hath made you 
sorry, though it were but for a season. 

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made 
sorry, but that ye borrowed to repentance: for 



S. In contrast to other temples 
whose god was not the living God. 



9. That is. he not a part of the 
uueleanuess of the world. 



Ch. 7. A. D. 60. 



?.. In ch. 7 Paul writes to the 
church that because they are the tem- 
ple of the living God. they must 
purify themselves. He also writes 
them of the great joy which the re- 
port of Titus concerning them brings 
to him. 



2. That is. exercise our own abili- 
ty, that God may work the full meas- 
ure of his righteousness in our hearts. 



3. The apostle would not have 
them believe that he is indirectly ac- 
cusing them. 



4. Now that their sorrow was a 
sorrow of sin unto godliness, he would 
rejoice. 



5. Sorrow because of the absence 
of God and which desires his pres- 
ence. 



Ch. 8. A. D. 60. 



1. In ch. S Paul exhorts the church 
to gi .e liberally, according to their 
ability for the support of the work. 
and presents unto them Christ, our 
divine example, as giving up the 
riches of heaven to come unto fallen 
man. 



Cause you to know. 



ye were made sorry 'after a godly manner, 
that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 

10 For "godly •'sorrow worketh repentance to 
salvation not to be repented of: A 'but the sorrow 
of the world worketh death. 

11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye 
'sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness 
it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of your- 
selves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, 
yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, 
yea, what revenge! In all things ye have ap- 
proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 

12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I 
did it not for his cause that had done the 
wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, 
but that our care for you in the sight of God 
might appear unto you. 

13 Therefore we were comforted in your 
comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed 
we for the joy of Ti'tus, because his spirit was 
refreshed by you all. 

14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of 
you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all 
things to you in truth, even so our boasting, 
which I made before Ti'tus, is found a truth. 

15 And his inward affection is more abun- 
dant toward you, whilst he remembereth "'the 
obedience of you all, how with fear and trem- 
bling ye received him. 

16 I rejoice therefore that "I have confi- 
dence in you in all things. 

CHAPTER 8. 
He stirreth them up to a liberal contribution 
for the poor saints at Jerusalem, by the ex- 
ample of the Macedonians. 

1 ^Joreover, brethren, we do you to writ of 
bhe grace of God bestowed on the churches of 
3Iac-e-do'ni-a; 

2 How that in a great trial of affliction the 
abundance of their joy and "their deep poverty 
abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 

3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and 
beyond their power they were willing of them- 
selves; 

4 Praying us with much intreaty that we 
would receive the gift, and take upon us 6 the 
fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 

5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but 
°first gave their own selves to the Lord, and 
unto us by the will of God. 

6 Insomuch that we ^desired Ti'tus, that as 



into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ash- 
dod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his 
face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, 
and set him in his place again. (I Sam. 5:2, 3.) Be not ye therefore 
partakers with them (7). And have no fellowship with the unfruitful 
works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (Eph. 5:7, 11.) 

n. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an 
holv priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by 
Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 2:5.) 

o. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye 
shall be my people. (Lev. 26:12.) 

p. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean 
thing; go ye out of the midst of her: be ye clean, that hear the vessels 
of the Lord. (Is. 52:11.) And I heard another voice from heaven, say- 
ing, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, 
and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Rev. 18:4.) 

q. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead 
them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight 
way. wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and 
Ephraim is my first-born. (Jer. 31:9.) He that overcometh shall inherit 
all things: and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Rev. 21:7.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himseif. even 
as he is pure. (I Jno. 3:3.) 

b. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God 
which is given you by Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 1:4.) 

c. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your 
faith, I joy and rejoice with you all. (Phil. 2:17.) 

d. I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: 
but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. (II 
Cor. 2:13.) 

e. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are per- 
plexed, but not in despair. (II Cor. 4:^.) 

f. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the 
young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of grev 
hairs. (Dt. 32:25.) 

g. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, 
■which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and 
good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in 
every good word and work. (II Thess. 2:16, 17.) 

h. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you 



with many tears: not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might 
know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. (II Cor. 2:4.) 

i. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his 
thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy 
upon him; and to our God, for he Vill abundantly pardon. (Is. 55:7.) 

j. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead 
them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight 
way, wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and 
Ephraim is my first-born. (Jer. 31:9.) 

k. Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. 
And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast 
down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and 
hanged himself. (Mat. 27:4, 5.) 

1. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the in- 
habitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications; and 
they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn 
for him, as cne mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness 
for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. (Zech. 12:10.) 

m. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed,- not as in 
my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your 
own salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil. 2:12.) 

n. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both 
do and will do the things which we command you. (II Thess. 3:4.) 

Chapter S. 

a. For all they did cast in of their abundance: but she of her want 
did east in all that she had, even all her living. (Mk. 12:44.) 

b. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, deter- 
mined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea. (Acts 11: 
29.) But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. (Rom. 
15:25.) Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given 
order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye (1). And when I come, 
whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to 
bring your liberality unto Jerusalem". And if it be meet that I go also, 
they shall go with me. (I Cor. 16:1, 3, 4.) 

c. And the King shall answer and say unto them. Verily I say 
unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these 
my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Mat. 25:40.) But to do good 
and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well 
pleased. (Heb. 13:16.) 

d. I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make

he begun, so he would also finish in you the 
same grace also. 

7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in 
faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all 
diligence, and in your love to us, see 'that ye 
abound in this grace also. 

8 I speak not by commandment, but by oc- 
casion of the forwardness of others, and to 
prove the sincerity of your love. 

9 For *ye know the grace of our Lord Je'§us 
Christ, 'that, though he Svas rich, yet for your 
sakes he became 'poor, that ye through his pov- 
erty might be rich. 

10 And herein I give my advice: for this is 
^expedient for you, who have begun before, not 
only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 

11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; 
that as there was a readiness to will, so there 
may be a performance also out of that which 
ye have. 

12 For ''if there be first a willing mind, it is 
accepted according to that a man hath, and 
not according to that he hath not. 

13 For I mean not that other men be eased, 
and ye burdened: 

14 But by an equality, that now at this time 
your abundance may be a supply for their 
want, that their abundance also may be a sup- 
ply for your want : that there may be equality : 

15 As it is written, 'He that had gathered 
much had nothing over; and he that had gath- 
ered little had no lack. 

16 But thanks be to God, which put the same 
earnest care into the heart of Ti'tus for you. 

17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; 
but being more forward, of his own accord he 
went unto you. 

18 And we have sent with him the brother, 
whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the 
churches ; 

19 And not that only, but who was also 
chosen 'of the churches to travel with us with 
this grace, which is administered by us to the 
glory of the same • Lord, and declaration of 
your ready mind: 

20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame 
us in this abundanee which, is administered by 
us: 

21 Providing for 'honest things, not only in

the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of 
men. 

22 And we have sent with them our brother, 
whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in 
many things, but now much more diligent, 
upon the great confidence which I have in you. 

23 Whether any do enquire of Ti'tus, he is 
my partner and f ellowhelper concerning you : 
or our brethren be enquired of, they are the 
messengers of the churches, and the glory of 
Christ. 

24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before 
the churches, the proof of your love, and of 
our boasting on your behalf. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 He yieldeth the reason why he sent Titus 
and his brethren beforehand, 6 and stirreth 
them up to a bountiful alms. 

1 'For as touching "the : ministering to the 
saints, it is superfluous for me to write to 
you: 

2 For I know ''the forwardness of your mind, 
c for which I boast of you to them of Mac-e-do - 
ni-a, d that A-cha'ia was ready a year ago; and 
your zeal hath ^provoked very many. 

3 e Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our 
boasting of you should be in vain in this be- 
half; that, as I said, ye may be ready: 

4 Lest 4 haply if they of Mac-e-do'ni-a come 
with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we 
say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same 
confident boasting. 

5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort 
the brethren, that they would go before unto 
you, and make up beforehand your bounty, 
whereof ye had notice before, that the same 
might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not 
as of covetousness. 

6 ''But this I say, He which ''soweth sparing- 
ly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sow- 
eth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 

7 Every man according as he purposeth in 
his heart, so let him give; #not grudgingly, or 
of necessity: for 'God loveth a cheerful giver. 

8 And •'God is able to make all grace abound 
toward you; that ye, always having 5 all suffi- 
ciency in all things, may abound to every good 
work: 



a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in 
the same steps? (II Cor. 12:18.) 

e. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, 
always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good 
work. (II Cor. 9:8.) 

f. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air 
have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. (Lu. 
9:5S.) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be 
equal with God; But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him 
the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. (Phil. 
2:6, 7.) 

g. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones 
a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto 
you, He shall in no wise lose his reward. (Mat. 10:42.) But to do good 
and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well 
pleased. (Heb. 13:1G.) 

h. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath 
cast in more than they all. (Lu. 21:3.) 

i. And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much 
had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack: they gath- 
ered every man according to his eating. (Ex. 16:18.) 

j. And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, 
them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. And if it be 
meet that I go also, they shall go with me. (I Cor. 16:3, 4.) 

k. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things 
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if 
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 
(Phil. 4:8.) 

Chapter 9. 

a. Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given 
order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. (I Cor. 16:1.) Only 
they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also 
was forward to do. (Gal. 2:10.) 

b. And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches 
to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the 
glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind. (II Cor. 
8:19.) 

c. Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof 
of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf. (II Cor. 8:24.) 

d. And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, 
who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year 
ago. (II Cor. 8:10.) 



e. Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he 
would also finish in you the same grace also (6). For indeed he ac- 
cepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he 
went unto you. And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise 
is in the gospel throughout all the churches (17, 18). And we have sent 
with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in 
many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great conudence 
which I have in you. (II Cor. 8:6, 17, 18, 22.) 

f. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that 
withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. (Prov. 11:24.) 
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which 
he hath given will he pay him again. (Prov. 19:17.) He that hath a 
bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. 
(Prov. 22:9.) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man 
soweth, that shall he also reap (7). And let us not be weary in well- 
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:7, 9.) 

g. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within 
any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou 
shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother; 
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend 
him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth (7, 8). Thou 
shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou 
givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall 
bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand 
unto. (Dt. 15:7, 8, 10.) I know also, my God, that thou triest the 
heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the upright- 
ness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now 
have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer 
willingly unto thee. (I Chr. 29: 17.) Or he. that exhorteth, on exhorta- 
tion: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with 
diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. (Rom. 12:8.) 

h. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that 
withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. (Prov. 11:24.) 
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his 
bread to the poor. (Prov. 22:9.) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: 
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (7). And let us 
not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we 
faint not. (Gal. 6:7, 9.) 

i. Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever 
is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord. (Ex. 35:5.) 

j. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth 
his eyes shall have many r, curse. (Prov. 28:27.) My God shall supply 
all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 
4:19.)

1 He setteth out the spiritual might and au- 
thority, with which he is armed against all 
adversary powers, 7 assuring them that at 
his coining he will be found as mighty in 
word, as he is now in writing being absent,

themselves beyond their compass, and vaunt- 
ing themselves into other men's labours. 

1 2 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the 
meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in 
presence am base among you, but being absent 
am bold toward you: 

2 T3ut I beseech you, "that I may not be bold 
when I am present with that confidence, where- 
with I think to be bold against some, which 
think of us as if we walked according to = the 
flesh. 

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do 
not war after the flesh: 

4 (For Hhe weapons of our warfare are not 
carnal, but mighty through God c to the pulling 
down of strong holds;) 

5 Casting d down imaginations, and every 
high thing that exalteth itself against the

Ch. 11. A. D. 60. 



1. In ch. 11 Paul continues to 
write regarding the false apostles 
that the church has accepted, and to 
measure the principle of his apostle- 
ship with them, and to exhort them 
to steadfastness in Christ. 



7 Do ye look on things after the outward 
appearance? If any man trust to himself that 
he is Christ's, let him of himself think this 
again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we 
-Christ's. 

8 For though I should boast somewhat more 
of our authority, which the Lord hath given us 
for edification, and not for your destruction, I 
should not be ashamed: 

9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify 
you by letters. 

10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and 
powerful; but ''his bodily presence is weak, and 
his speech 'contemptible. 

11 Let such an one think this, that, such as 
we are in word by letters when we are absent, 
such will we be also in deed when we are pres- 
ent. 

12 5 For -'we dare not make ourselves of the 
number, or compare ourselves with some that 
commend themselves; but they measuring them- 
selves by themselves, and comparing themselves 
among themselves, are not wise. 

13 But we will not boast of things without 
our measure, but according to the measure of 
the rule which God hath distributed to us, a 
measure to reach even unto you. 

14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our 
measure, as though we reached not unto you: 
for we are come as far as to you also in preach- 
ing the gospel of Christ: 

15 Not boasting of things without our meas- 
ure, that is, l "of other men's labours; but hav- 
ing hope, when your faith is increased, that we 
shall be enlarged by you according to our rule 
abundantly, 

16 To preach the gospel in the regions be- 
yond you, and not to boast in another man's 
line of things made ready to our hand. 

17 But he 'that glorieth, let him glory in 
the Lord. 

18 For not he that commendeth himself is 
approved, but '"whom the Lord commendeth.

Out of his jealousy over the Corinthians, he en- 
tereth into a forced commendation of himself.

little in °my folly: and indeed bear with me. 

2 For I am b jealous over you with godly jeal-

endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor. tPs. 112:9.) 

1. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and 
returaeth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring 
forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the 
eater. (Is. 55:10.) 

m. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your 
fallow ground: "for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain 
righteousness upon you. (Hos. 10:12.) Take heed that ye do not your 
alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward 
of vour Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 6:1.) 

n. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace 
might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 
(II Cor. 4:15.) 

o. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your 
good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Mat. 5:16.) 

p. But to do good and to communicate forget not; for with such 
sacrifices God is well pleased. (Heb. 13:16.) 

q. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and 
cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, 
neither shadow of turning. (Js. 1:17.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and 
in the spirit of meekness? (I Cor. 4:21.) 

b. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may 
be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 
(Eph. 6:13.) 

c. See, I have this day set thee over the nations, and over the king- 
doms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, 
to build, and to plant. (Jer. 1:10.) 

d. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and 
will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. (I Cor. 1:19.) 

e. I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the 
second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore 
have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare. 
(II Cor. 13:2.) 

f. And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he 
rememhereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye 
received him. (II Cor. 7:15.) 



g. Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool,) I am more: 
in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more 
frequent, in deaths oft. (II Cor. 11:23.) 

h. Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the Gospel 
unto you at the first. (Gal. 4:13.) 

i. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel: 
not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should he made 
of none effect. (I Cor. 1:17.) 

j. For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you oc- 
casion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them 
which glory in appearance, and not in heart. (II Cor. 5:12.) 

k. Yea, so have I strived to preach the Gospel, not where Christ 
was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation. (Rom. 
15:20.) 

1. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth 
and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness, 
judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I de- 
light, saith the Lord. (Jer. 9:24.) That, according as it is written, He 
that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (I Cor. 1:31.) 

m. But he is a Jew which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that 
of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not 
of men, but of God. (Rom. 2:29.) Therefore judge nothing before the 
time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden 
things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: 
and then shall every man have praise of God. (I Cor. 4:5.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. For whether we he beside ourselves, it is to God; or whether 
we be sober, it is for your cause. (II Cor. 5:13.) 

b. They zealously affect you, but not well; yea. they would exclude 
you, that ye might affect them. (Gal. 4:17.) 

c. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man 
in all wisdom: that we may present everv man perfect in Christ Jesus. 
(Col. 1:28.) 

d. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. 
fGen. 3:4.) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your 
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh 
a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

pent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your 
minds 'should be corrupted from the "simplicity 
that is in Christ. 

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another 
Je'sus, whom we have not preached, or if ye re- 
ceive another spirit, which ye have not re- 
ceived, or 'another gospel, which ye have not 
accepted, ye might well bear with him. 

5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the 
very chiefest apostles. 

6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not 
sin knowledge; but we have been throughly 
made manifest among you in all things. 

7 Have I committed an offence in ''abasing 
myself that ye might 3 be exalted, because I have 
preached to you the gospel of God 4 freely? 

8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of 
them, to do you service. 

9 And when I was present with you, and 
wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that 
which was lacking to me 'the brethren which 
came from Mac-e-doni-a supplied: and in all 
things I have kept myself 'from being burden- 
some unto you, and so will I keep myself. 

10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man 
shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of 
A-cha'ia. 

11 Wherefore? ^'because I love you not? God 
knoweth. 

12 But what I do, that I will do, that 'I may 
cut off occasion from them which desire occa- 
sion; that wherein they glory, they may be 
found even as we. 

13 Tor such are false apostles, deceitful 
workers, transforming themselves into the apos- 
tles of Christ. 

14 And no marvel; for Sa'tan himself is 
transformed into an angel of light. 

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his min- 
isters also be transformed as the ministers of 
righteousness; whose °end shall be according to 
their works. 

16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool ; 
if otherwise, yet as »a fool receive me, that I 
may boast myself a little. 

17 That which I speak, I speak it not after 
the Lord, but as it were foolishly, '"in this con- 
fidence of boasting. 

18 "Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I 
will glory also. 

19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye your- 
selves are wise. 

20 For ye suffer, °if a man bring you into

5. In vs. 13-21 the apostle forces 
the false prophets from the shade into 
the bright foreground and briefly 
characterizes them. 



6. Retribution. 



7. In vs. 22-33 the apostle draws a 
comparison of the principles which 
control him with the principles of the 
lives of his opponents. 



8. The person to be punished had 
his back stripped and was tied to a 
pillar. The scourging thongs con- 
sisted of six skins woven with sharp 
bones, which inflicted so much pain 
that the victim often died under it. 



Ch. 12. A. D. 60.

saying that he desires to glory in

of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite 
you on the face. 

21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though 
we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever 
any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. 

22 'Are they He'brew§? so am I. Are they 
is'ra-el-ites? so am I. Are they the seed of 
A'bra-ham? Pso am I. 

23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as 
a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, 
in stripes above measure, in prisons more 
frequent, in deaths oft. 

24 Of the Jew? five times received I forty 
"stripes *save one. 

25 Thrice was I 'beaten with rods, once was 
S I stoned, thrice I 'suffered shipwreck, a night 
and a day I have been in the deep; 

26 In journeyings often, "in perils of waters, 
in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own 
countrymen, in perils. by the heathen, in perils 
in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils 
in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 

27 In weariness and painfulness, in watch- 
ings often, 'in hunger and thirst, in fastings 
often, in cold and nakedness. 

28 Beside those things that are without, that 
which cometh upon me daily, the care of all 
the churches. 

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is 
offended, and I burn not? 

30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the 
things which concern mine infirmities. 

31 The God and Father of our Lord Je'sus 
Christ, "'which is blessed for evermore, know- 
eth that I lie not. 

32 In Da-mas'cus the governor under Ar'e- 
tas the king kept the city of the Dam'as-cene§ 
with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: 

33 And through a window in a basket was I 
let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. 

CHAPTER 12. 

1 For commending of his apostleship, though 
he might glory of his wonderful revelations, 
9 yet he rather chooseth to glory of his in- 
firmities, 11 blaming them for forcing him 
to vain boasting. 

1 *It is not expedient for me doubtless to 
glory. I will come to visions and "revelations 
of the Lord. 

2 I knew a 'man "in Christ above fourteen 
years ago, (whether in 'the body, I cannot tell; 



ceived was in the transgression. (I Tim. 2:14.) And the great dragon 
was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which de- 
ceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels 
were cast out with him (9). And the serpent cast out of his mouth water 
as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away 
of the flood. (Rev. 12:9, 15.) For this cause, when I could no longer 
forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter 
have tempted you, and our labor be in vain. (I Thess. 3:5.) 

e. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in 
sincerity. Amen. (Eph. 6:24.) And this I say, lest any man should 
beguile you with enticing words. (Col. 2:4.) 

f. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and 
would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from 
heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have 
preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Gal. 1:7, 8.) 

g. Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand iny knowledge in 
the mystery of Christ. (Eph. 3:4.) 

h. And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, 
and wrought: for by their occupation they were tent-makers. (Acts 
18:3.) Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? 
(I Cor. 9:6.) 

i. But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your 
care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye 
lacked opportunity. (Phil. 4:10.) 

j. Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will 
not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the 
children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the 
children. (II Cor. 12:14.) 

k. I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that 
ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. (II Cor. 7:3.) 

1. If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? 
Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest 
we should hinder the gospel of Christ. (I Cor. 9:12.) 

m. Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you 
unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same 
confident boasting. (II Cor. 9:4.) 

n. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, 
and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. (Phil. 
3:3.) 



0. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known 
of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, where- 
unto ye desire again to be in bondage? (Gal. 4:9.) 

p. I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou 
canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which 
say they are apostles, and are not, and bast found them liars. (Rev. 
2:2.) Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, 
to draw away disciples after them. (Acts 20:30.) Which is not another: 
but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of 
Christ. (Gal. 1:7.) Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; 
and some also of good will. (Phil. 1:15.) For there are many unruly 
and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision. 
(Tit. 1:10.) But there were false prophets also among the people, even 
as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) 

q. Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed; lest, if he should 
exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother 
should seem vile unto thee. (Dt. 25:3.) 

r. And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magis- 
trates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. (Acts 16:22.) 

s. And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, 
who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out 
of the city, supposing he had been dead. (Acts 14:19.) 

t. And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship 
aground: and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoyable, but 
the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. (Acts 27:41.) 

u. But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and 
the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and 
Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. (Acts 13:50.) 

v. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and 
are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place. (I Cor. 
4:11.) 

w. Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh 
Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (Rom. 9:5.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old 
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (II Cor. 
5:17.)

or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God 
knoweth;) such an one 5 caught up to the third 
heaven. 

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the 
body, or out of 'the body, I cannot tell: God 
knoweth ; ) 

4 How that he was caught up into c paradise, 
and heard 5 unspeakable words, which it is not 
"lawful for a man to utter. 

5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself 
I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 

6 For ^though I would desire to glory, I 
shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: 
but now I forbear, lest any man should think 
of me above that which he seeth me to be, or 
that he heareth of me. 

7 And lest I should be exalted above meas- 
ure through the abundance of the revelations, 
there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, e the 
messenger of Sa'tan to buffet me, lest I should 
be exalted above measure. 

8 For this 7 thing I besought the Lord s thrice, 
that it might depart from me. 

9 And he said unto me, fMy grace is suffi- 
' cient for thee : for my strength is made perfect 

in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I 
rather glory in my infirmities, that the -"power 
of Christ may rest upon me. 

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, 
in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in 
distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am 
weak, then am I strong. 

11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have 
compelled me: for I ought to have been com- 
mended of you: for ''in nothing am I behind 
the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 

12 Truly the signs of an apostle were 
wrought among you in all patience, in signs, 
and wonders, and mighty deeds. 

13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior 
to other churches, except it be that 'I myself 
was not burdensome to you? forgive me this 
wrong. 

14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come 
to you; and I will not be burdensome to 10 y° u: 
for *I seek not your's, n but you: for the chil- 
dren ought not to lay up for the parents, but 
the parents 12 for the children. 

15 And I will very gladly spend .and be 
spent for you; though the more abundantly I 
love you, the less I be loved.

Ch. 13. A. D. 60. 



1. In ch. 13 Paul threatens a se- 
vere rebuke as proof of his apostolic 
authority, but counsels them against 
their causing him to have to do it. 



2. The word time was not in tha 
original. The apostle does not assert 
that this is his third visit, but rather 
an intentional coming. 



16 But be it so, I did not burden you : never- 
theless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 

17 J 'Did I make a gain of you by any of them 
whom I sent unto you? 

18 I 'desired Titus, and with him I sent a 
brother. Did Ti'tus make a gain of you? 
walked we not in the same spirit? walked we 
not in the same steps? 

19 Again, '"think ye that we excuse ourselves 
unto you? we speak before God in Christ: "but 
we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edi- 
fying. 

20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not 
find you such as I would, and that °I shall be 
found unto you such as ye would not : lest there 
be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbi- 
tings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: 

21 And lest, when I come again, my God 
Pwill humble me among you, and that I shall 
bewail many which have sinned already, and 
have not repented of the uncleanness and ^for- 
nication and lasciviousness which they have 
committed. 

CHAPTER 13. 
1 He threateneth severity, and the power of 
his apostleship against obstinate sinners. 5 
And advising them to a trial of their faith. 

1 'This is the third time I am coming to 
you. "In the mouth of two or three witnesses 
shall every word be established. 

2 I Hold you before, and foretell you, as if I 
were present, the second time; and being absent 
now I write to them which heretofore have 
sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, 
I will not spare: 

3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking 
c in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is 
mighty a m you. 

4 For though he was crucified through 
weakness, yet Hie liveth by the power of God. 
For %e also are weak in him, but we shall live 
with him by the power of God toward you. 

5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the 
faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not 
your own selves, ''how that Je'sus Christ is in 
you, except ye be reprobates? 

6 But I trust that ye shall know that 'we 
are not reprobates. 



b. And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, 
even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance. (Acts 22:17.) 

c. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt 
thou he with me in paradise. (Lu. 23:43.) 

d. For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, 
which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your de- 
struction, I should not be ashamed. (II Cor. 10:S.) 

e. So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote 
Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. (Job 2:7.) 
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan 
hath bound,' lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the 
sabbath day? (Lu. 13:16.) 

f. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might 
he increaseth strength. (Is. 40:29.) Fear thou not; for I am with thee: 
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I 
will help thee: yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my 
righteousness. (Is. 41:10.) There hath no temptation taken you but such 
as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be 
tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make 
a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (I Cor. 10:13.) The 
Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to 
reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. (II Pet. 
2:9.) 

g. If ye he reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for 
the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is 
evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. (I Pet. 4:14.) 

h. But of those who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, 
it maketh no matter to me: God aceepteth no man's person:) for they 
who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me. (Gal. 
2:6.) 

i. If others he partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? 
Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we 
should hinder the gospel of Christ. (I Cor. 9:12.) 

j. I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. (Acts 20:33.) 

k. Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no 
man, we have defrauded no man. (II Cor. 7:2.) 

I. Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he 
would also finish in you the same grace also. (II .Cor. 8:6.) 

m. For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you 
occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer 
them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. (II Cor. 5:12.) 



n. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own 
profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (I Cor. 10:33.) 
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the 
Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I 
should not be ashamed. (II Cor. 10:8.) For to this end Christ both died, 
and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and 
living. (Rom. 14:9.) 

0. What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and 
in the spirit of meekness? (I Cor. 4:21.) 

p. But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again 
to you in heaviness (1). For out of much affliction and anguish of 
heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, 
but that ye might knew the love which I have more abundantly unto 
you. (II Cor. 2:1, 4.) 

q. It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and 
such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that 
one should have his father's wife. (I Cor. 5:1.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death 
ty the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against 
any person to cause him to die. (Num. 35:30.) 

b. But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present 
with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which 
think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. (II Cor. 10:2.) 

c. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which 
speaketh in you. (Mat. 10:20.) 

d. If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: 
for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. (I Cor. 9:2.) 

e. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the 
unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, 
but quickened by the Spirit. (I Pet. 3:18.) 

f. Therefore w'e are buried with him by baptism into death; that 
like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, 
even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Rom. 6:4.) 

g. And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the 
same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that fol- 
lowed them; and that Rock was Christ. (I Cor. 10:3, 4.) 

h. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that 
like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, 
even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Rom. 6:4.)

14 The grace of the Lord Je'§us Christ, and 
the love of God, and the communion of the 
Ho'ly Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 



j. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ: we are 
weak, but ye are strong: ye are honorable, but we are despised. (I Cor. 
4:10.)

may be sound in the faith. (Tit. 1:13.) 



m. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high 
things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own 
conceits. (Rom. 12:16.) Finally, be ye all of one mind, having com- 
passion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. (I 
Pet. 3:8.)

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 

GALATIANS 






NOTE. — Paul's letter to the Galatians was written In the year 57 A. 
was salvation through faith. 



D., while the apostle was in Corinth in Greece. The general subject considered 



CHAPTER 1. 
6 He wondereth that they have so soon left him 
and the gospel. 11 He learned the gospel 
not of men, but of God. 

1 "Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by- 
man, but "by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, 
who raised him from the dead;) 

2 And all the brethren which are with me, 
unto the churches of Ga-la'tia: 

3 Grace be to you and peace from God the 
Father, and from our Lord Je'sus Christ, 

4 Who fc gave himself for our sins, that he 
might deliver us from this present evil world, 
according to the will of God and our Father: 

5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. 
Amen. 

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from 
him that called you into the grace of Christ 
°unto another gospel: 

7 Which is not another; but there be some 
■'that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel 
of Christ. 

8 But though f we, or an angel from heaven, 
preach any other gospel unto you than that 
which we have preached unto you, let him be 
accursed. 

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If 
any man preach any other gospel unto you 
'than that ye have received, let him be ac- 
cursed. 

10 For #do I now ^persuade Tnen, or God? 
or, 'do I seek to please men? for if I yet 
pleased men, I should not be the servant of 
Christ. 

11 "But -'T certify you, brethren, that the 
gospel which was preached of me is not after 
man. 

12 For I neither received it of man, neither 
was I taught it, but by the revelation of Je'sus 
Christ. 

13 For ye have heard of my conversation in 
time past in the Jews/ religion, how that '''be- 
yond measure I persecuted the church of God, 
and 'wasted it : 

14 And profited in the Jews' religion above 
many my equals in mine own nation, being 
more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of 
my fathers. 

15 But when it pleased God, who separated 
me from my mother's womb, and called me by 
his grace, 



Ch. 1. A. D. 58. 



1. In eh. 1 the apostle declares 
that the cause of his writing this let- 
ter is the church's falling away from 
the Gospel he had taught them. He 
defends his speaking and declares his 
apostolic call to be independent of 
man. 



2. That is. he is not attempting 
to conciliate men, but seeking to 
please God. 



3. In vs. 11-24 the apostle declares 
his Gospel is not of anr man but of 
Christ. 



Ch. 2. A. D. 58.

persuade ine church that they are 
saved, if saved at all, by faith and 
not by works.

conversion. 



Stealthily, to rob, to destroy. 



16 '"To reveal his Son in me, that I might 
preach him among the heathen; immediately I 
conferred not with flesh and blood: 

17 Neither went I up to Je-ru'sa-lem to them 
which were apostles before me; but I went into 
A-ra'bi-a, and returned again unto Da-mas'cus. 

18 Then after three years I went up to Je- 
ru'sa-lem to see Pe'ter, and abode with him fif- 
teen days. 

19 But "other of the apostles saw I none, 
save °James the Lord's brother. 

20 Now the things which I write unto you, 
behold, before God, I lie not. 

21 Afterwards pI came into the regions of 
Syr'i-a and Ci-K'cia; 

22 And was unknown by face unto the 
churches of Ju-das'a which were in Christ: 

23 But they had heard only, That he which 
persecuted us in times past now preacheth the 
faith which once he destroyed. 

24 And they glorified God in me. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 He sheweth ivhen he went up again to Jeru- 
salem, and for what purpose. 14 Of justifi- 
cation by faith, and not by works. 

1 Then fourteen ^ears after "I went up 
again to Je-ru'sa-lem with Bar na-bas, and took 
Tl'tus with me also. 

2 And I went up by revelation, and communi- 
cated unto them that gospel which I preach 
among the Gen'tlles, but privately to them 
which w T ere of reputation, lest by any means I 
should run, or had run, in vain. 

3 But neither Tl'tus, who was with me, be- 
ing a Greek; was compelled to be circumcised: 

4 And that because of false brethren un- 
awares brought in, who came in privily to spy 
out our liberty which we have in = ChrIst Je'sus. 
that they might bring us into bondage: 

5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, 
not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel 
might continue with you. 

6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, 
(whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to 
me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they 
who seemed to be somewhat in conference 
added nothing to me: 

7 But contrariwise, 6 when they saw that the 
gospel of the uncircumcision c was committed 
unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was 
unto Pe'ter;

have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the 
city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. (Acts 9:6.) 

b. And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, 
but also for the sins of the whole world. (I Jno. 2:2.) Even as -the 
Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to 
give his life a ransom for many. (Mat. 20:2S.) Who was delivered for 
our offences, and was raised again for our justification. (Rom. 4:25.) 
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how

c. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have 
not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not re- 
ceived, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well 
bear with him. (II Cor. 11:4.) As I besought thee to abide still at 
Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some 
that they teach no other doctrine. (I Tim. 1:3.) 

d. And certain men which came down from Judea taught the 
brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised afier the manner of Moses, 
ye cannot be saved. (Acts 15:1.) 

e. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema 
Maranatha. "(I Cor. 16:22.)

shall ye diminish ought from it. (Dt. 4:2.) Add thou not unto his 
words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. (Prov. 30:6.) 
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the 
plagues that are written in this book. (Rev. 22:1S.)

8 (For he that wrought effectually in Pe'ter 
to the apostleship of the circumcision, J the same 
was "mighty in me toward the Gen'tiles:) 

9 And when Jame§, Qe'phas, and John, who 
seemed to be "pillars, perceived ''the grace that 
was given unto me, they gave to me and Bar'- 
na-bas the right "hands of fellowship; that we 
should go unto the heathen, and they unto the 
circumcision. 

10 Only they would that we should remem- 
ber the poor/ the same which I also was for- 
ward to do. 

11 But when Pe'ter was come to An'ti-och, I 
withstood him to the face, because he was to 5 be 
blamed. 

12 For before that certain came from James, 
''he did eat with the Gen'tlle§: but when they 
were come, he withdrew and separated him- 
self, bearing them which were of the circum- 
cision. 

13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise 
with him; insomuch that Bar'na-bas also was 
carried away with their dissimulation. 

14 °But when I saw that they walked not up- 
rightly according to the truth of the gospel, I 
said unto Pe'ter before them all, If thou, being 
a Jew, livest after the manner of Gen'tiles, and 
not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the 
Gen'tiles to live as do the Jews? 

15 We 'who are Jews by nature, and not 
J'sinners of the Gen'tiles, 

16 Knowing ''that a man is not justified by 
the works of the law, but by the faith of Je'sus 
Christ, even we have believed in Je'sus Christ, 
that we might be justified by 'the faith of 
Christ, and not by the works of the law: for 
"'by the works of the law shall no flesh be jus- 
tified. 

17 But if, while we seek to be justified by 
Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is 
"therefore Christ the minister of sin? God 
forbid. 

18 For if I build again the things which I 
destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 

19 For I "through the law »am dead to the 
law, that I might 'dive unto God. 

20 I am ''crucified with Christ: nevertheless 
I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and 
the life which I now live in the flesh *'I live 
by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, 
and gave himself for me. 

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for 
'if righteousness come by the law, then Christ 
is dead in vain. 



4. Effectually. 



5. Self-condemned. 



G. In vs. 14-21 Paul declares his 
Gospel to Peter, thus striving to put 
an end to the dispute between justi- 
fication by the law and justification 
in Christ. 1 



Ch. 3. A. D. 58. 



1. In ch. 3 the apostle reproves 
the Galatians for abandoning theii 
faith and rather embracing the law. 
and admonishes them to justification 
by faith as the only method by which 
they may be justified. He shows the 
law to be subsequent to the promise; 
all believers are declared to be the 
spiritual seed of Abraham, who was 
justified by faith. The law is as- 
serted to be our teacher, training us 
to come to God, that we might be 
justified through faith in Christ. 



2. ITe that liveth by the law. unto 
the law, shall live in the law or be 
judged by it. 



". The Jews never put to death 
by hanging: but, after putting a 
malefactor to death, they would fre- 
quently hang their bodies on a tree 
that they might be accursed. 



4. Except both sides agree thereto. 



CHAPTER 3. 
1 He asketh what moved them to leave the 
faith, and hang upon the law? 6 They that 
believe are justified, 9 and blessed with 
Abraham. 10 And this he sheweth by many 
reasons. 

1 *0 foolish Ga-la'tians, who hath bewitched 
you, that ye should not obey the truth, "before 
whose eyes Je'sus Christ hath been evidently 
set forth, crucified among you? 

2 This only would I learn of you, Received 
ye the Spirit by the works of the lav/, or by 
the hearing of faith? 

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the 
Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 

4 Have 6 ye suffered so many, things in vain? 
if it be yet in vain. 

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the 
Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth 
he it by the works of the law, or by the hear- 
ing of faith? 

6 Even as A'bra-ham believed God, and it 
was accounted to him for righteousness. 

7 Know ye therefore that c they which are 
of faith, the same are the children of A'bra- 
ham. 

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God 
would justify the heathen through faith, 
preached before the gospel unto A'bra-ham, say- 
ing, <7 In thee shall all nations be blessed. 

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed 
with faithful A'bra-ham. 

10 For as many as are of the works of the 
law are under the curse: for it is written, 
'Cursed is every one that continueth not in all 
things which are written in the book of the 
law to do them. 

11 But that no man is justified by the law in 
the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just 
shall live by faith. 

12 And {the law is not of faith: but, The 
man #that Moeth them shall live in them. 

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse 
of the law, being made a curse for us: for it 
is written, Cursed is every "one that hangeth on 
a tree: 

14 That ''the blessing of A'bra-ham might 
come on the Gen'tlle§ through Je'sus Christ; 
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit 
through faith. 

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of 
men; 'Though it be but a man's covenant, yet 
if it be confirmed, no man Misannulleth, or add- 
eth thereto. 



d. Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which 
worketh in me might. ly. (Col. 1:29.) 

e. Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and 
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Mat. 16:1S.) 

f. By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience 
to the faith among all nations, for his name. (Rom. 1:5.) 

g. And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son 
of Rechab coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him, Is 
thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Je-honadab an- 
swered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; 
and he took him up to him into the chariot. (II Ks. 10:15.) And they 
gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and, being 
guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass. (Ezra 10:19.) 

h. And he [Peter] said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlaw- 
ful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of 
another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any 
man common or unclean. (Acts 10:28.) 

i. Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, 
which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? (Acts 15:10.) 

j. Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? (Mat. 9:11.) 

k. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through 
this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins. (Acts 13:38.) 

1. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to 
faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 1:17.) For 
there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before, for the 
weakness and unprofitableness thereof. (Heb. 7:18.) 

m. Enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight 
shall no man living be lustified. (Ps. 143:2.) 

n. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth 
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, 
that he might destroy the works of the devil. (I Jno. 3:8.) 

o. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free 
from the law of sin and death. (Rom. S:2.) 

p. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under 
the law, but under grace. (Rom. 6:14.) 



q. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the 
eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your con- 
science from dead works to serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14.) 

r. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the 
body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve 
sin. (Rom. 6:6.) 

s. And that he died for all, that they which live should not hence- 
forth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose 
again. (II Cor. 5:15.) 

t. If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under 
it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another 
priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after 
the order of Aaron? (Heb. 7:11.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, 
and unto the Greeks foolishness. (I Cor. 1:23.) 

b. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have 
wrought, but that we receive a full reward. (II Jno. 8.) 

c. They answered and isaid unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus 
saith unto them. If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works 
of Abraham. (Jno. S:39.) 

d. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth 
thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen. 12:3.) 

e. Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do 
them. (Dt. 27:26.) 

f. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, 
but of debt. (Rom. 4:4.) And if by grace, then is it no more of works; 
otherwise grace is no more grace. (Rom. 11:6.) 

g. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments; which 
if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord. (Lev. 18:5.) 

h. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon 
the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham 
for righteousness. (Rom. 4:9.) 

i. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it Is 
of no strength at all while the testator liveth. (Heb. 9:17.)

16 Now to A'bra-ham and his seed were the 
promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as 
of many ; but as of one, And to "thy seed, which 

. is •'Christ. 

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that 
was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, 
fc which was four hundred and thirty years 
after, cannot disannul, 'that it should make 
the promise of none effect. 

18 For if "'the inheritance be of the law, it 
is no more of promise: but God gave it to 
A'bra-ham by promise. 

19 "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was 
added because of transgressions, till the seed 
should come to whom the promise was made; 
and it was "ordained by angels in the hand of 
a "mediator. 

20 Now a mediator is not a 7 mediator of one, 
'but God is 7 one. 

21 Is the law then against the promises of 
God? God forbid: for if there had been a law 
given which could have given life, verily right- 
eousness should have been by the law. 

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under 
sin, that the promise by faith of Je'§us Christ 
might be given to them that believe. 

23 But before faith came, we were kept 
under the law, shut up unto the faith which 
should afterwards be revealed. 

24 Wherefore ^the law was our schoolmas- 
ter to bring us unto Christ, that we might be 
justified by faith. 

25 But after that 8 faith is come, we are no 
longer under a schoolmaster. 

26 For ye s are all the children of God by 
faith in Christ Je'§us. 

27 For as many of you as have been "bap- 
tized into Christ have put on Christ. 

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is 
neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor 
female: for ye are all 10 one in Christ Je'§us. 

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abra- 
ham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 We were under the law till Christ came. 5 
But Christ freed us from the law: 7 there- 
fore we are servants no longer to it. 14 He 
remembereth their good will to him. 

1 Now 2 I say, That the heir, as long as he is 
a child, differeth nothing from a servant, 
though he be lord of all; 

2 But is under tutors and governors until 
the time appointed of the father. 

3 Even so we, when we were children, were 
"in bondage under the elements of the world :

us the way to Christ.

come, God sent forth his Son, made 'of a 
woman, made under the law, 

5 d To redeem them that were under the law, 
that we might receive the adoption of sons. 

6 And because ye are 2 sons, God hath sent 
forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, 
crying, Ab'ba, Father. 

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but 
a son; e and if a son, then an heir of God 
through Christ. 

8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye 
'did service unto them which by nature are no 
gods. 

9 But now, after that ye have known God, 
or rather are known of God, #how turn ye 
again to the weak and ''beggarly elements, 
whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 

10 Ye 'observe days, and months, and times, 
and years. 

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed 
upon you labour in vain. 

12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for 
I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 

13 Ye know how through infirmity of the 
flesh I preached the gospel unto you ■'at the 
first. 

14 And my temptation which was in my flesh 
ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me 
as an angel of God, 7: even as Christ Je'sus. 

15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake 
of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been 
possible, ye would have plucked out your own 
eyes, and have given them to me. 

16 Am I therefore become your enemy, be- 
cause I tell you the truth? 

17 They 'zealously affect you, but not well; 
yea, they would exclude you, that ye might 
affect them. 

18 But it is good to be zealously affected al- 
ways in a good thing, and not only when I am 
present with you. 

19 My little children, of whom I travail in 
birth "again until Christ be formed in you, 

20 I desire to be present with you now, and 
to 4 change my voice; for I stand in doubt of 
you. 

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the 
law, do ye not hear the law? 

22 For it is written, that A'bra-ham had 
two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a 
freewoman. 

23 But he who was of the bondwoman '"was 
born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman 
was by promise. 

24 Which things are an 5 allegory: for these 
are the two "covenants; the one from the 



j. As the body is one, and hath many members, and all the mem- 
bers of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 
(I Cor. 12:12.) 

k. Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwelt in Egypt 
was four hundred and thirty years. (Ex. 12:40.) 

1. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was 
not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the 
righteousness of faith. (Rom. 4:13.) 

m. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with 
Christ. (Rom. 8:17.) 

n. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every trans- 
gression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward. (Heb. 
2:2.) 

0. (I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to show you the 
word of the Lord; for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went 
not up into the mount.) (Dt. 5:5.) 

p. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? 
Yes, of the Gentiles also. (Rom. 3:29.) 

q. Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: 
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Mat. 5:17.) 

r. And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from 
which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:39.) 

s. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become 
the sons of God, ^ven to them that believe on his name. (Jno. 1:12.)

a. Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, 
and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 
(Heb. 9:10.) 

b. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him- shall the gathering 
of the people be. (Gen. 49:10.) That in the dispensation of the fulness 
of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which 
are in heaven, and which are on earth, even in him. (Eph. 1:10.) 



c. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between 
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise 
his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of 
flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that 
through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that 
is, the devil. (Heb. 2:14.) 

d. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but 
to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Mat. 20:28.) 

e. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the 
children of God: And if children, then heirs: heirs of God, and joint- 
heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also 
glorified together. (Rom. 8:16, 17.) 

f. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and 
served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 
Amen. (Rom. 1:25.) 

g. Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the 
world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances? 
(Col. 2:20.) 

h. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the 
flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for 
sin, condemned sin in the flesh. (Rom. 8:3.) 

i. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth 
every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 
(Rom. 14:5.) 

j. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you 
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel. (Gal. 1:6.) 

k. He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, 
receiveth him that sent me. (Mat. 10:40.) 

1. For I bear them record that they have the zeal of God, but not 
according to knowledge. (Rom. 10:2.) 

m. Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all 
children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which 
are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but 
the children of the promise are counted for the seed. (Rom. 9:7, S.)

mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, 
which is A 'gar. _ 

25 For this Agar is mount Sl'nai in A-ra'- 
bi-a, and answereth to Je-ru'sa-lem which now 
is, and is in bondage with her children. 

26 But "Je-ru'sa-lem which is above is free, 
which is the mother of us all. 

27 For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren 
that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou 
that travailest not: for the desolate hath many 
more children than she which hath an hus- 
band. 

28 Now we, brethren, as I'saac was, are Hhe 
children of promise. 

29 But as then he that was born after the 
flesh persecuted him that was born after the 
Spirit, even so it is now. 

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? 
Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for «the 
son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with 
the son of the freewoman. 

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of 
the 7 bondwoman, but of the free. 

CHAPTER 5. 

1 He moveth them to stand in their liberty, 3 
and not to observe circumcision: 13 but 
rather love, which is the sum of the law. 19 
He reckoneth up the works of the flesh, 22 
and the fruits of the Spirit, 25 and exhort- 
eth to walk in the Spirit. 

1 "Stand fast therefore in "the liberty where- 
with Christ hath made us free, and be not en- 
tangled again with the yoke of bondage. 

2 "Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye 6 be 
circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 

3 For I testify again to every man that is 
circumcised, c that he is a debtor to do the whole 
law. 

4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, 
whosoever of you are justified by the law; d ye 
are fallen from grace. 

5 For we through the Spirit c wait for the 
hope of righteousness" by faith. 

6 For in Je'sus Christ neither circumcision 
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision ; 'but 
"faith which worketh by love. 

7 Ye #did J run well ; who did hinder you that 
ye should not obey the truth? 

8 This persuasion cometh not of him that 
calleth you. 

9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 

10 I 7i have confidence in you through the 
Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: 
but 'he that troubleth you shall bear his judg- 
ment, whosoever he be.

Ch. 5. A, D. 58. 



1. In ch. 5 the apostle exhorts the 
church to hold fast to their gospel of 
liberty and not to be led astray; to 
serve one another in love; to walk in 
the spirit and bear the fruits thereof. 



2. In vs. 2-12 the apostle admon- 
ishes the church to maintain their 
spiritual individuality. 



The test of the fajth. 



4. That is, their faith was true, 
their love sincere and their works 
were of the spirit. 



Momentary outcry. 



6. A studied purpose to injure. 



7. The result of the first part of 
the verse. 



S. Mentioned first, as the greatest 
of all — the fountain of all the others. 



9. Gentle, unassuming positivenos 
or firmness. 



Ch. C. A. D. 58. 



1. In ch. 6 the apostle continues 
to exhort the church to forbearance 
and humility. 



2. That spirit whereby we accept 
the dealings of God without murmur- 
ing. 



3. Which is apt to happen to those 
who reprove others without them- 
selves being in the spirit of meekness. 



4. Frailties, weakness and dis- 
graces arising therefrom. 



5. Thereby. 



6. That is, the law of love and 
liberty which is of Christ. 



11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circum- 
cision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is 
the offence of the cross ceased. 

12 I would they were even cut off which 
trouble you. 

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto 
liberty; only 'use not liberty for an occasion 
to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, 
even in this; /i 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour 
as thyself. 

15 But if r °ye bite and "devour one another, 
take heed that ye be not 'consumed one of an- 
other. 

16 This I say then, z Walk in the Spirit, and 
ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 

17 Fop '"the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 
and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are 
contrary the one to the other: "so that ye can- 
not do the things that ye would. 

18 But °if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not 
under the law. 

19 Now the works of the* flesh are manifest, 
which are these; Adultery, fornication, tmclean- 
ness, lasciviousness, 

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, em- 
ulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revel- 
lings, and such like: of the which I tell you be- 
fore, as I have also told you in time past, that 
Hhey which do such things shall not inherit 
the kingdom of God. 

22 But "the fruit of the Spirit is s love, joy, 
peace, longsuffering, 'gentleness, goodness, 
"faith, 

23 "Meekness, temperance: against such there 
is no law. 

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified 
the flesh with the affections and lusts. 

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk 
in the Spirit. 

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, pro- 
voking one another, envying one another. 

CHAPTER 6. 
2 He moveth them, to bear one another' s bur- 
den. 14 He glorieth in nothing, save in the 
cross of Christ. 

1 "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a 
fault, ye a which are spiritual, restore such an 
one in 'the 6 spirit of 2 meekness; considering 
thyself, lest thou also be 3 tempted. 

2 Bear c ye one another's ^burdens, and s so 
fulfil ^the law of "Christ. 

3 For e if a man think himself to be some- 



n. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain 
of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, 
and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 
(Is. 2:2.) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the 
living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company 
of angels. (Heb. 12:22.) 

0. Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, 
and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the 
children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the 
Lord. (Is. 54:1.) 

p. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end 
the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of 
the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the 
father of us all. (Rom. 4:16.) 

q. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son 
abideth ever. (Jno. 8:35.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 
(Jno. 8:32.) 

b. And certain men which came down from Judea taught the breth- 
ren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye 
cannot be saved. (Acts 15:1.) 

c. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the 
curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all 
things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (Gal. 3:10.) 

d. Looking diligently le&t any man fail of the grace of God. (Heb. 
12:15.) 

e. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope; 
for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for 
that we see not, then do witli patience wait for it. (Rom. 8:24, 25.) 

f. Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of 
love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Thess. 1:3.) 

g. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one re- 
ceiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (I Cor. 9:24.) 

h. And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often- 



times proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, 
upon the great confidence which I have in you. (II Cor. S:22.) 

i. But there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel 
of Christ. (Gal. 1:7.) 

j. As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, 
but as the servants of God. (I Pet. 2:1G.) 

k. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord. (Lev. 
19:18.) 

1. Let, not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should 
obey it in 'the lusts thereof. (Rom. 6:12.) 

m. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law 
of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is 
in my members. (Rom. 7:23.) 

n. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; 
but what I hate, that do I. (Rom. 7:15.) 

0. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under 
the law, but under grace. (Rom. 6:14.) 

p. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that deflleth, 
neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie. (Rev. 21:27.) 

q. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and 
every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it, that it may bring forth 
more fruit. (Jno. 15:2.) 

r. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, 
gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and goo - d fruits, without 
partiality, and without hypocrisy. (Js. 3:17.) 

s. [Charity] believeth all things, hopeth all things. (I Cor. 13:7.)

ought to wash one another's feet. (Jno. 13:14.)

circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 

14 But God forbid that I should glory, save 
in the cross of our Lord Je'sus Christ, by whom 
the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 

EPHESIANS 



NOTE. — The letter to the Ephesians was written by the Apostle Paul in the year 63 A. D., during his captivity in Rome, to the church in Ephesus 
in Asia Minor, the general subject of the letter being the church in Christ. It was written immediately after his letter to the Colossians, to which it bears 
a close resemblance in many passages. The church at Ephesus was made up of converts from both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 19:S-10). Ephesus was 
especially famed for its idol temples of Artemis or Diana, one of the seven wonders of the world, hence this epistle takes occasion to warn the church 
against falling into idol worship. Therefore, in a more expanded form, the purpose of the epistle was "to set forth the ground, the course, the aim, and 
the end of the church of the faitnful in Christ."

Ephesians, 4 he treateth of our election, 6

is named, not only in this world, but also in

a. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in 
heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might 
show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us 
through Christ Jesus (6, 7). For we are his workmanship, created in 
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that 
we should walk in them (10). But now in Christ Jesus ye who some- 
times were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ (13). And are 
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ 
himself being the chief corner stone. (Eph. 2:6, 7, 10, 13, 20.) There is 
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who 
walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Rom. 8:1.) For ye are 
all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:26.) 

b. His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued 
as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall 
call him blessed. (Ps. 72:17.) 

c. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, 
but was manifest in these last times for you. (I Pet. 1:20.) 

d. In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our 
life. (Lu. 1:75.) 

e. Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed 
to the image of his Son. (Rom. 8:29.) 

f. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become 
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (Jno. 1:12.) 

g. Fear not, little flock; for it is ypur Father's good pleasure to 
give you the kingdom. (Lu. 12:32.) 

h. This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my 
praise. (Is. 43:21.) 

i. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Mat. 17:5.) 

j. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood 
he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemp- 
tion for us. (Heb. 9:12.) 

k. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches

2 Wherein Mn time past ye walked according 
to the course of this world, according to the 
prince of the power of the air, the spirit that 
now worketh in the children of disobedience: 

3 Among whom also we all had our conversa- 
tion in times past in 'the lusts of our flesh, 
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the 
mind; and d were by nature the children of 
wrath, even as others. 

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great 
love wherewith he loved us, 

5 Even c when we were dead in sins, hath 
'quickened us together with Christ, ( 2 by ?grace 
ye are saved;) 

6 And hath raised us up together, and made 
us sit together in heaventy places in Christ 
Je'sus: 

7 That in the ages to come he might shew 
the exceeding riches of his grace in his kind- 
ness toward us through Christ Je'sus. 

8 For = by grace are ye saved ^through faith; 
and that not of vourselves: ''it is the gift of 
God: 

9 Not 'of 'works, lest any man should boast. 

10 For we are his workmanship, created in 
Christ Je'sus unto good works, which God hath 
before ordained that we should walk in them.

time past Gen 'tiles in the flesh, who are called 
Uncircumcision by that which is called 'the 
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands ; 

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, 
'-"being aliens from the commonwealth of Is'- 
ra-el, and strangers from 'the covenants of 
promise, having no hope, '"and without God in 
the world: 

13 "But now in Christ Je'sus ye who some- 
times were far off are made nigh by the blood 
of Christ. 

14 For "he is our peace, who hath made both 
one, and hath broken down the middle wall of 
partition between us; 

15 Having abolished in his flesh the 'enmity, 
even the law of commandments contained in 
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one 
new man, so making peace; 

16 And that he might reconcile both unto 
God in one body by the cross, having slain the 
enmity thereby: 

17 And came and preached peace to you 
which were afar off, and to them that were 
nigh. 

18 For through him we both have access by 
one Spirit unto the Father. 

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers 



By whose grace we are saved.

grasp of Satau.

Je'sus Christ for you Gentiles, 

2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of 
the grace of God which 6 is given me to you- 
ward : 

3 How that by revelation he made known 
unto me the "mystery; (as I wrote afore in few 
words, 

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may under- 
stand my knowledge c in the mystery of Christ) 

5 Which in other ages was not made known 
unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed 
unto his holy apostles and prophets by the 
Spirit; 

6 That the Gen'tiles should be fellowheirs, 
and of the same body, and ''partakers of his 
promise in Christ by the gospel : 

7 Whereof I was made a minister, accord- 
ing to the gift of the grace of God given unto 
me by the effectual working of his power. 

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all 
saints, is this grace given, that I should preach 
among the Gen'tiles the 'unsearchable riches 
of Christ; 

9 And to make all men see what is the fel- 
lowship of the mystery, which from ^the begin- 
ning of the world hath been hid in God, who 
created all things by Je'sus Christ: 

10 To the intent that now unto the ^princi- 
palities and powers in heavenly places might 
be known by the church the manifold wisdom 
of God, 

11 According to the eternal purpose which 
he purposed in Christ Je'sus our Lord: 

12 In whom we have boldness and access 
with confidence by the faith of him. 

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at 
my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 

14 For this Cause I bow my knees unto the 
Father of our Lord Je'sus Christ,

eration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. (Tit. 3:5.)

draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jno. 6:44.) 

i. Bv the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his 
sight. (Rom. 3:20.)

glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of

into our land. (Hie. 5:5.) 

p. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this 
rock I will build my church: and the gates of hell shall not prevail

tions, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (Rev.

of your reward in a- voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, in- 
truding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by 
his fleshly mind. (Col. 2:18.) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not 
redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain 
conversation received by tradition from your fathers. (I Pet. 1:18.) For

out of your mouth, but that which is good to

loved us, and hath given himself for us an 
offering and a sacrifice to God for c a sweet-

3 2 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or 
covetousness, let it not be once named among 
you, as becometh saints;

jesting, a 'which are not Convenient: but rather 
giving of thanks. 

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, 
nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is 
an idolater, B hath any inheritance in the king- 
dom of Christ and of God. 

6 Let ^no man deceive you with vain words : 
for because of these things cometh the wrath 
of God upon the children of disobedience. 

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 

8 For ffye were sometimes darkness, but now 
''are ye light in the Lord: walk as children *of 
light: 



11. Right-doing toward man. 



12. Holy and pure in our relations 
to God. 



13. That is, if circumstances are 
such as to call forth anger from you,

sin. (Mk. 3:5.) "And when he had 
looked round about on them with 
anger, being grieved for the hardness 
of their hearts, he said unto the man. 
Stretch forth thine hand; and his hand 
was restored whole as the other." 



Ch. 5. A. D. 64, 



1. In ch. 5 the apostle exhorts the 
church to love as it is in Christ, and 
admonishes them to walk therein and 
flee from all uncleanness. 



2. In vs. 3-21 the apostle discusses 
the sins of the flesh or fleshly un- 
cleanness. 



3. Suitable or profitable. 



4. In vs. 22, 23 the apostle dis- 
cusses the relation of husband and 
wife as founded on the teachings of 
the church. 



9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all good- 
ness and righteousness and truth;) 

10 Proving •'what is acceptable unto the 
Lord. 

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruit- 
ful works of darkness, but rather ''reprove 
them. 

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those 
things which are done of them in secret. 

13 But 'all things that are reproved are 
made manifest by the light: for whatsoever 
doth make manifest is light. 

14 Wherefore he saith, "'Awake thou that 
sleepest, and "arise from the dead, and Christ 
shall give thee light. 

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not 
as fools, but as wise, 

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are 
evil. 

17 Wherefore "be ye not unwise, but Punder- 
standing what the will of the Lord is. 

18 And be not drunk ^with wine, wherein is 
excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and 
hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making 
melody in your heart to the Lord; 

20 Giving 'thanks always for all things unto 
God and the Father in the name of our Lord 
Je'sjius Christ; 

21 Submitting ^yourselves one to another in 
the fear of God. 

22 4 Wives, 'submit yourselves unto your own 
husbands, as unto the Lord. 

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, 
even as Christ is the head of the church: and 
he is the saviour of the body. 

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto 
Christ, so let the wives be to their own hus- 
bands in every thing. 

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ 
also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it 
"with the washing of water by the word, 

27 That he might present it to himself a glo- 
rious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or 
any such thing; but that it should be holy and 
without blemish. 

28 So ought men to love their wives as their 
own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth 
himself. 

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; 
but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the 
Lord the church: 



w. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he 
will flee from you. (Js. 4:7.) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, know- 
ing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are 
in the world. (I Pet. 5:9.) 

x. But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit: therefore he was 
turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. (Is. 63:10.) And 
not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the 
Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adop- 
tion, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Rom. 8:23.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: 
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and send- 
eth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Mat. 5:45.) Be ye therefore 
merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Lu. 6:3,6.) 

b. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; 
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (Jno. 13:34.) 

c. Ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord. 
(Num. 29:2.) We are unto God a sweet savor of Christ. (II Cor. 2:15.) 

d. As they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave 
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not con- 
venient. (Rom. 1:28.) 

e. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and 
murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (Rev. 
22:15.) 

f. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your 
prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, 
neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For 
they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, 
saith the Lord. (Jer. 29:8, 9.) 

g. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they 
that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light 
shined. (Is. 9:2.) 

h. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the 
world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have 
lh" light of life. (Jno. 8:12.) He that saith he is in the light, and 
hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. (I Jno. 2:9.) 

i. The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the 
children of light. (Lu. 16:8.) 

j. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be 
sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. (Phil. 1:10.) 



k. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any 
wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him. (Lev. 19:17.) 

1. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: 
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we 
have to do. (Heb. 4:13.) 

m. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord 
is risen upon thee. (Is. 60:1.) 

n. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, 
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that 
hear shall live. (Jno. 5:25.) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those 
things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 
(Col. 3:1.) 

0. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the 
time. (Col. 4:5.) 

p. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by 
the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and 
acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Rom. 12:2.) 

q. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is de- 
ceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20:1.) Look not thou upon the wine 
when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself 
aright. (Prov. 23:31.) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in riot- 
ing and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife 
and envying. (Rom. 13:13.) But now I have written unto you not to keep 
company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covet- 
ous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with 
such an one no not to eat. (I Cor. 5:11.) For they that sleep sleep in 
the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. (I Thess. 
5:7.) 

r. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the 
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Col. 3:17.) 
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith 
is spoken of throughout the whole world. (Rom. 1:8.) 

s. Let nothing be done through strife or vain-glory; but in lowli- 
ness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. (Phil. 2:3.) 

t. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and 
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy de- 
sire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Gen. 3:16.) 

u. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter 
into the kingdom of God. (Jno, 3:5.)

30 For we are members of his body, of his 
flesh, and of his bones. 

31 For this cause shall a man leave his fa- 
ther and mother, and shall be joined unto his 
wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak con- 
cerning Christ and the church. 

33 Nevertheless let every one of you in par- 
ticular so love his wife even as himself; and 
the wife see that she reverence her husband. 

CHAPTER 6. 

1 The duty of children toivards their parents, 

5 of servants towards their masters. 

1 'Children, "obey your parents in the Lord: 
for this is right. 

2 Honour Hhy father and mother; which is 
the first ^commandment with promise; 

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou 
mayest live long on the earth. 

4 And, c ye fathers, provoke 3 not your chil- 
dren to wrath : but ''bring them up in the nur- 
ture and admonition of the Lord. 

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are 
your masters according to the flesh, with fear 
and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as 
unto Christ; 

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but 
as the servants of Christ, doing the will of 
God from the heart; 

7 With good will doing service, as to the 
Lord, and not to men: 

8 Knowing e that whatsoever good thing any 
man doeth, the same shall he receive of the 
Lord, whether he be bond or free. 

9 And, ye ^masters, do the same things unto 
them, forbearing threatening: knowing that 
your Master also is in heaven; neither is there 
^respect of persons with him. 

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the 
Lord, and in the power of his might. 

11 ft Put on the whple armour of God, that 



Ch. 6. A. D. 64. 



1. In ch. 6 the apostle writes of 
the duties of pareuts and children, 
master and servant, and admonishes 
the church to put on the spiritual 
armor that they may be prepared to 
right the spiritual foes. 



. 2. The first and only command- 
ment of the decalogue of special and 
individual promise — the others are 
general. 



Avoid exciting anger or arous- 
the evil passions. 



4. Discipline implying right and 
perfect training in the Lord. 



5. Faith is here represented as 
having the power to ward off the 
shafts of infidelity and temptations. 



ye may be able to stand against the wiles of 
the devil. 

12 For we wrestle not against 'flesh and 
blood, but against -'principalities, against pow- 
ers, against /f the rulers of the darkness of this 
world, against spiritual wickedness in high 
places. 

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole 
armour of God, that ye may be able to with- 
stand in the evil day, and having done all, to 
stand. 

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt 
about with truth, and having 'on the breast- 
plate of righteousness; 

15 And '"your feet shod with the prepara- 
tion of the gospel of peace; 

16 5 Above all, taking "the shield of faith, 
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the 
fiery darts of the wicked. 

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and 
the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word of 
God: 

18 Praying always with all prayer and sup- 
plication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto 
with all perseverance and supplication for all 
saints; 

19 And for me, that utterance may be given 
unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, 
to make known the mystery of the gospel, 

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds : 
that therein Pi may speak boldly, as I ought to 
speak. 

21 But that ye also may know my affairs, 
and how I do, Tych'i-cus, a beloved brother 
and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make 
known to you all things: 

22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same 
purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and 
that he might comfort your hearts. 

23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with 
faith, from God the Father and the Lord 
Je'§us Christ. 

24 Grace be with all them that love our 
Lord Je'§us Christ in sincerity. Amen. 



Chapter G. 

a. Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy 
mother when she is old. (Prov. 23:22.) 

b. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long 
upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Ex. 20:12.) 

c. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be dis- 
couraged. (Col. 3:21.) 

d. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in 
thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, 
and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou 
walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest 
up. (Dt. 6:6, 7.) Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and 
mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him. 
(Gen. 18:18. ) And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them 
when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, 
when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Dt. 11:19.) We will 
not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come 
the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that 
he hath done. (Ps. 78:4.) Train up a child in the way he should go; 
and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Prov. 22:6.) 

e. Who will render to every man according to his deeds. (Rom. 
2:6.) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that 
every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he 
hath done, whether it be good or bad. (II Cor. 5:10.) 

f. Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; 
knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. (Col. 4:1.) 

g. And if 'ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons 
judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning 
here in fear. (I Pet. 1:17.) 



h. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast 
off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (Rom 
13:12.) 

i. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the 
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (I Cor. 
15:50.) 

j. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor 
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor 
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us 
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 8:38, 39.) 

k. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this 
world be cast out. (Jno. 12:31.) Who hath delivered us from the power 
of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. 
(Col. 1:13.) 

1. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of 
salvation upon his head. (Is. 59:17.) 

in. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bring- 
eth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of 
good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reign- 
eth! (Is. 52:7.) 

n. This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 
(I Jno. 5:4.) 

o. He hath made my mouth like a sharp sword. (Is. 49:2.) The 
word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 
sword. (Heb. 4:12.) 

p. But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully 
entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak 
unto you the gospel of God with much contention. (I Thess. 2:2.) 



THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 

PHILIPPIANS 



. Dh .?°T B ;7" Pa ? ls . le " er t0 th , e Pbilippians was written m the year 62 A. D., while the author was in prison at Rome. It was addressed to the church 
in Philippi, Macedonia its general subject being thanksgiving and rejoicing. It should be observed that in this epistle the author does not censure, or 
upr-raid in any sense, the church to which it is adaressed, because no doctrinal errors or worldly contentions had as yet sprung up among them 



CHAPTER 1. 
3 He testifieth his thankfulness to God for the 
fruits of their faith. 21 His readiness to 
glorify Christ either by his life or death, 27 
exhorting them to unity, 28 and to forti- 
tude in persecution. 

1 Paul "and Ti-mo'the-us, the servants of 
"Je'sus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Je'- 
sus which are at Phi-lip'pi, with the bishops 
and deacons: 

2 Grace L be unto you, and peace, from God 
our Father, and from the Lord Je'sus Christ. 

3 3 I thank 6 my God upon every remembrance 
of you, 

4 Always in every prayer of mine for you 
all making request with joy, 

5 For (, your fellowship in the gospel from 
the first day until now; 

6 Being confident of this very thing, that he 
which hath begun d a good work in you will 
perform it until the day of Je'sus Christ: 

7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of 
you all, because I have you in my heart; inas- 
much as both in f my bonds, and in the defence 
and confirmation of the gospel, <ye all are par- 
takers of my grace. 

8 For God is my 4 record, how greatly I long 
after you all in the bowels of Je'§us Christ. 

9 And this I pray, #that your love may 
abound yet more and more in knowledge and 
in all judgment; 

10 That ''ye may G approve things that are 
excellent; Hhat ye may be sincere and without 
offence till the day of Christ; 

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteous- 
ness, ->which are by Je'§us Christ, unto the 
glory and praise of God. 

12 But I would ye should understand, breth- 
ren, that the things which happened unto me 
have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of 
the gospel; 

13 So that my bonds in Christ are mani- 
fest fc in all the palace, and in all other places; 

14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, 
waxing confident by my bonds, are much more 
bold to speak the word without fear. 

15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy 
and 'strife; and some also of good will: 



Ch. 1. A. D. 64. 



1. In ch. 1 the apostle writes to 
the church in thanksgiving and prayer 
for their spirituality. He also speaks 
of the manner in which his imprison- 
ment at Rome is producing the spread 
of the Gospel. He concludes the ch. 
by exhorting the church to Christian 
consistency. 



The first of the blessings. 



3. In vs. 3-11 are the apostle's 
thanksgiving and prayer in behalf of 
the church. 



5. Spiritual insight. 



6. Try. 



7. That is, at all times and all 
places he presents the cause and love 
of Christ. 



8. That is, heaven is an immeas- 
urable gain over earth. 



16 The one preach Christ of contention, not 
sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my 
bonds : 

17 But the other of love, knowing that I am 
set for the defence of the gospel. 

18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, 
whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is 
preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and 
will rejoice. 

19 For I know that this shall turn to my 
salvation "'through your prayer, and the supply 
of "the Spirit of Je'sus Christ, 

20 According to my earnest expectation and 
my hope, that in "nothing I shall be ashamed, 
but that with all boldness, as always, so now 
also Christ shall be magnified in my body, 
whether it be by life, or by death. 

21 For to me to live is 'Christ, and to die is 
s gain. 

22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit 
of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot 
not. 

23 For Pi am in a strait betwixt two, having 
a desire to ^depart, and to be with Christ; 
which is far better: 

24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more 
needful for you. 

25 And having this confidence, I know that 
I shall abide and continue with you all for 
your furtherance and joy of faith; 

26 That your rejoicing may be more abun- 
dant in Je'§us Christ for me by my coming 
to you again. 

27 Only let your conversation be as it be- 
cometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I 
come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear 
of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, 
with one mind striving together for the faith 
of the gospel ; 

28 And in nothing 'terrified by your ad- 
versaries: which is to them an evident token 
of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that 
of God. 

29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of 
Christ, s not only to believe on him, but also to 
suffer for his sake; 

30 Having the 'same conflict which ye saw 
in me, and now hear to be in me. 



Ref. Philippians. Chapter 1. 

a. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 
2:5.) For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, and 
rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh (3). Yea 
doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowl- 
edge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all 
things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ (8). Not 
as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I 
follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am appre- 
hended of Christ Jesus (12). I press toward the mark for the prize of the 
high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:3, 8, 12, 14.) And the peace 
of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and 
minds through Christ Jesus (7). But my God shall supply all your need 
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (19). Salute every saint 
in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. (Phil. 
4:7, 19, 21.) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 
(Gal. 3:26.) 

b. I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your 
faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. (Rom. 1:8.) 

c. Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. (Rom. 
12:13.) Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God be- 
stowed on the churches of Macedonia. (II Cor. 8:1.) 

d. This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath 
sent. (Jno. 6:29.) 

e. For which I am an ambassador in bonds. (Eph. 6:20.) Be not 
thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his 
prisoner. (II Tim. 1:8.) 

f. Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate 
with mine affliction. (Phil. 4:14.) 

g. That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by 
the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 
(Phil, i ! I 

h. That ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and per- 
fect will of God. (Rom. 12:2.) 

i. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience 
Toid of offence toward. God, and toward men. (Acts 24:16.)

j. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of 
itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in 
me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I 
in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do 
nothing. (Jno. 15:4, 5.) 

k. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cesar's house- 
hold. (Phil. 4:22.) 

1. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, 
being of one accord, of one mind. (Phil. 2:2.) 

m. Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift be- 
stowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by 
many on our behalf. (II Cor. 1:11.) 

n. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the 
Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of 
Christ, he is none of his. (Rom. 8:9.) 

p. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the 
body, and to be present with the Lord. (II Cor. 5:S.) 

q. I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at 
hand. (II Tim. 4:6.) 

r. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am 
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will up- 
hold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Is. 41:10.) And 
fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: 
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in 
hell. (Mat. 10:28.) I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Heb. 
13:5.) 

s. By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: 
it is the gift of God. (Eph. 2:8.) 

t. I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace 
of God which was with me. (I Cor. 15:10.) I would that ye knew what 
great conflict I have for you. (Col. 2:1.) But even after that we had 
suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, 
we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much 
contention. (I Thess. 2:2.) But called to remembrance the former days, 
in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of af- 
flictions. (Heb. 10:32.) Whereunto I also labor, striving according to

took upon him the form A 'of a servant, and 
was made in the likeness of men : 

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he 
humbled himself, and 'became obedient unto 
death, even the death of the cross. 

9 Wherefore God also '"hath highly exalted 
him, and "given him a name which is above 
every name: 

10 That "at the name of Je'sus every knee 
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in 
earth, and things under the earth; 

11 And Pthat every tongue should confess 
that Je'sus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God 
the Father. 

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have al- 
ways obeyed, not as in my presence only, but 
now much more in my absence, work out your 
own salvation with fear and trembling. 

13 For ait is God which worketh in you both 
to will and to do of his good pleasure. 

14 Do all things without murmurings and 
disputings: 

15 That ye may be blameless and 'harmless, 
the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst 
of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom 
ye shine as lights in the world; 

16 Holding forth the word of life; that I 
may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have 
not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 

17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacri- 
fice and service of your faith, I joy, and re- 
joice with you all. 



Ch. 2. A. D. 64. 



1. Iu ch. 2 the apostle continues 
to exhort the church to humility after 
the example of Christ, and to earnest- 
ness in seeking Christian perfection. 
He also declares his williugness and 
readiness to be offered up in death for 
the cause, closing the eh. by declar- 
ing his intention to send Timothy to 
them. 



2. Consolation coming from Christ 
or produced by Christ. 



3. In vs. 3-18 the apostle exhorts 
the church to forget self and to come 
together iu unity. 



4. Empty pride. 



5. That is, he laid off, or lit. 
emptied himself of the form of God. 



6. In vs. 12-16 the apostle urges 
the church to follow the example of 
Christ. 



7. Sincere. 



8. With a mind like unto his own. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 64. 



1 . In eh. 3 the apostle admon- 
ishes the church against false teach- 
ers and warns them against carnal- 
persons, whose life he contrasts with 
that of the true (Christians. 



2. Circumcision having now lost 
its spiritual signification and been 
supplanted by baptism, it becomes a 
senseless mutilation to those who en- 
gage in it. 



18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and 
rejoice with me. 

19 But I trust in the Lord Je'§us to send 
Ti-md'the-us shortly unto you, that I also may 
be of good comfort, when I know your state. 

20 For I have no man s likeminded, who will 
naturally care for your state. 

21 For all seek their own, not the things 
which are Je'§us Christ's. 

22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as 
a son with the father, he hath served with me 
in the gospel. 

23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, 
so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. 

24 But I trust in the Lord that I also my- 
self shall come shortly. 

25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to 
you E-paph-ro-di'tus, my brother, and compan- 
ion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your mes- 
senger, and he that ministered to my wants. 

26 For he longed after you all, and was full 
of heaviness, becavise that ye had heard that 
he had been sick. 

27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: 
but God had mercy on him; and not on him 
only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow 
upon sorrow. 

28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, 
that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, 
and that I may be the less sorrowful. 

29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with 
all gladness; and hold such in reputation: 

30 Because for the work of Christ he was 
nigh unto death, not regarding his life, 'to 
supply your lack of service toward me. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 He warneth them to beware of false' teachers. 
18 He exhorteth them to decline the ways of 
carnal Christians. 

1 'Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. 
To write the same things to you, to me indeed 
is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 

2 Beware of "dogs, beware of evil workers, 
''beware of the 2 concision. 

3 For we are c the circumcision, which wor- 
ship d God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ 
Je'§us, and have no confidence in the flesh. 

4 Though I might also have confidence in 
the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he 
hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I 
more: 

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock 



his working, which worketh in me mightily. (Col. 1:29.) For the love 
of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they 
have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many 
sorrows. (I Tim. 6:10.) I have fought a good fight, I have finished my 
course, I have kept the faith. (II Tim. 4:7.) 
Chapter 2. 

a. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the 
communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. (II Cor. 13:14.) 

b. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the 
bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because 
of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. (Jno. 3:29.) 

c. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of an- 
other, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. (I Pet. 3:8.) 

d. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, 
and lie not against the truth. (Js. 3:14.) 

e. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, 
all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for 
God resisteth the proud, and glveth grace to the humble. (I Pet. 5:5.) 

f. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. (I 
Cor. 10:24.) 

g. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have 
done to you. (Jno. 13:15.) 

h. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and 
against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 13:7.) 
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the 
Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. (Jno. 
1:1, 2.) 

i. The Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had 
broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making him- 
self equal with God. (Jno. 5:18.) The Jews answered him, saying, For 
a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that 
thou, being a man, makest thyself God. (Jno. 10:33.) 

j. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised 
of the people. (Ps. 22:6.) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of 
sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from 
him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:3.) 

k. Behold my servant, whom I uphold. (Is, 42:1.) By his knowl- 



edge shall my righteous servant justify many. (Is. 53:11.) I will set up 
one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant 
David. (Ez. 34:23.) Behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. 
(Zech. 3:8.) Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, 
but to minister. (Mat. 20:28.) 

1. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for 
the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, 
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Heb. 12:2.) 

m. Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may 
glorify thee. (Jno. 17:1.) We see Jesus, who was made a little lower 
than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and hon- 
or. (Heb. 2:9.) 

n. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by in- 
heritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (Heb. 1:4.) 

0. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in 
righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, 
every tongue shall swear. (Is. 45:23.) Every creature which is in 
heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the 
sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and 
glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the 
Lamb, for ever and ever. (Rev. 5:13.) 

p. Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. (Jno. 
13:13.) 

q. Now the God of peace make you perfect in every good work to 
do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, 
through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. (Heb. 
13:20, 21.) 

r. That which was lacking on your part they have supplied. (I Cor. 
16:17.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not 
consumed one of another. (Gal. 5:15.) 

b. For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly; neither is that cir- 
cumcision which is outward in the flesh. (Rom. 2:28.) 

c. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins 
of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Jer. 4:4.) 

d. The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall 
worship the Father in spirit and in truth. God is a Spirit: and they that 
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth, (Jno. 4:23, 24.)

brew of the He'brewg; as touching the law, c a 
Phar'i-see; 

6 Concerning zeal, ^persecuting the church; 
touching the righteousness which is in the law, 
blameless. 

7 But what things were gain to me, those 
I counted loss for Christ. 

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but 
loss ^for the excellency of the knowledge of 
Christ Je'sus my Lord: for whom I have suf- 
fered the loss of all things, and do count them 
but dung, that I may win Christ, 

9 And be found in him, ''not having mine 
own righteousness, which is of the law, but 
'that which is through the faith of Christ, the 
righteousness which is of God by faith: 

10 That I may know him, and the power of 
his resurrection, and J'the fellowship of his 
sufferings, being made conformable unto his 
death ; 

11 If by any means I might attain *-'unto 
the resurrection of the dead. 

12 Not as though I had already attained, 
either were 'already perfect: but I follow 
after, if that I may apprehend that for which 
also I am apprehended of Christ Je'sus. 

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have ap- 
prehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting 
those things which are = behind, and reaching 
forth "'unto those things which are before, 

14 I press "toward the mark for the 4 prize 
of °the high calling of God in Christ Je'sus. 

15 Let us therefore, as many ^as be perfect, 
ibe thus minded: and if in any thing ye be 
otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this 
unto you. 

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already at- 
tained, let us walk by the same rule, let us 
mind the same thing. 

17 "Brethren, be followers together of me, 
and mark them which walk so as ye have us 
for an s ensample. 

18 (For many walk, of whom I have told 
you often, and now tell you even weeping, that 
they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 

19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is 
their Tielly, and whose glory is in their shame, 
who mind earthly things.)

may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,

even to subdue all things unto himself. 

CHAPTER 4. 
He proceedeth to general exhortations. 

1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and 
longed for, 'my joy and crown, so stand fast 
in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 

2 I beseech Eu-5'di-as, and beseech Syn'- 
ty-che, that they be of the same mind in the 
Lord. 

3 And I intreat thee also, true 'yokefellow, 
help those women which laboured with 6 me in 
the gospel, with Clem'ent also, and with other 
my fellowlabourers, whose names are in c the 
book of life. 

4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again 1 
say, Rejoice. 

5 Let your Tnoderation be known unto all 
men. d The Lord is at hand. 

6 Be e careful for 3 nothing; but in every 
thing by prayer and supplication with thanks- 
giving let your requests be made known unto 
God. 

7 And ^the peace of God, which passeth all 
understanding, shall keep your hearts and 
minds through Christ Je'sus. 

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are 
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever 
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things 
are of good report; if there be any virtue, 
and if there be any praise, think on these 
things. 

9 4 Those things, which ye have both learned, 
and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: 
and the God of peace shall be with you. 

10 : But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that 
now at the last ^your care of me hath flour- 
ished again; wherein ye were also careful, but 
ye lacked opportunity. 

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for 
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, 
therewith to ''be content.

know how to abound: every where and in all

f. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every 
house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. (Acts 
8:3.)

53:11.) And this is life eternal, that they might inow thee the only true 
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Jno. 17:3.) 

h. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses 
are as filthy rags. (Is. 64:6.)

and night, hope to ocme. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am 
accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:7.)

written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the 
just men made perfect. (Heb. 12:23.) 

m. Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto 
perfection. (Heb. 6:1.) 

n. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteous- 
ness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: 
and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 
(II Tim. 4:7, 8.) 

o. Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, con- 
sider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. (Heb. 
3:1.) 

p. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be 
ye children, but in understanding be men. (I Cor. 14:20.) 

q. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none 
otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, 
whosoever he be. (Gal. 5:10.)- 

r. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are 
above (1). For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

power. (I Cor. 15:43.) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then

he shall appear, we shall be like him. (I Jno. 3:2.) 

t. Who is this that corneth from Edom, with dyed garments from 
Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness 
of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. (Is. 
63:1.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not 
even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? (I 
Thess. 2:19.)

What ye shall put on. (Lu. 12:22.) 

f. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on 
thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Is. 26:3.) Peace I leave with you, 
my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it afraid. (Jno. 14:27.) 

g. That which was lacking to me the brethren which came from 
Macedonia supplied. (II Cor. 11:9.) 

h. But godliness with contentment is great gain (6). And having 
food and raiment let us be therewith content. (I Tim. 6:6, 8.) And God 
is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having 
all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (II Cor. 
9:8.) Let your conversation be without covetpusness; and be content 
with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, 
nor forsake thee. (Heb. 13:5.)

naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place. (I Cor.

be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 

13 I can do all things •'through Christ which 
strengthened me. 

14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that 
7i 'ye did communicate with my affliction. 

15 Now ,ye Phi-llp'pi-an§ know also, that in 
the beginning of the gospel, when I departed 
from Mac-e-do'ni-a, 'no church communicated 
with me as concerning giving and receiving, 
but ye only. 

16 For even in "'Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca ye sent

fruit "that may abound to your account.

according to his ''riches in glory by Christ 
Je'sus. 

20 Now unto God and our Father be glory

with you all. Amen. 



j. Without me ye can do nothing. (Jno. 15:5.) My grace is suffi- 
cient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. (II Cor.

and companion in labor, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and he 
that ministered to my wants. (Phil. 2:25.) 

p. The administration of this service not only supplieth the want of 
the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God. (II 
Cor. 9:12.) 

q. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Ps. 23:1.) God is 
able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all 
sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (II Cor. 9:S.)

15 Who is "the s image of the invisible God, 
the °firstbom of 'every creature: 

16 For by him were all things created, that 
are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible 
and invisible, whether they be thrones, or do- 
minions, or principalities, or powers : all things 
were created -"by him, and for him: 

17 And he is before all things, and by him 
all things consist. 

18 And she is the head of the body, the 
church: who is the beginning, the firstborn 
from the dead; that in all things he might have 
the preeminence. 

19 For it pleased the Father that r in him 
should all 'fulness dwell; 

20 And, having made peace through the 
blood cf his cross, by him to reconcile all things 
unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be 
things in earth, or things in heaven. 

21 And you, that were sometime alienated 
and enemies in your mind by wicked works, 
yet now hath he 'reconciled.- 

22 In the body of his flesh through death, to 
present you holy and unblameable and unre- 
proveable in his sight: 

23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and 
settled, and be not moved away from the hope 
of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which 
w r as preached to every creature which is under 
heaven ; whereof I Paul am made a minister ; 

24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for 
you, and fill up that which is behind of the 
afflictions of Christ in my flesh for *his body's 
sake, which is the church: 

25 Whereof I am made a minister, according 
to the dispensation of God which is given to 
me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 

26 Even the 7 mystery which hath been hid 
from ages and from generations, but now is 
made manifest to his saints : 

27 To whom God would make known what is 
the riches of the glory of this mystery among 
the Gen'tiles; which is Christ in you, the hope 
of glory: 

28 Whom we preach, warning every man, 
and teaching every man in all wisdom; that 
we may present every man perfect in Christ 
Je'sus :

He exhorteth them to be constant in Christ. 

1 For I would that ye knew what great con- 
flict 'I have for you, and for them at La-6d-i- 
ge'a, and for as many as have not seen my 
face in the flesh; ' 

2 That "their hearts might be comforted, 
being knit together in love, and unto 6 all 
riches of the full assurance of understanding, 
to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, 
and of the Father, and of Christ; 

3 In whom are_ hid all the treasures of wis- 
dom and knowledge. 

4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile 
you with enticing words. 

5 For 'though I be absent in the flesh, yet 
am I with you in the spirit, joying and behold- 
ing your order, and the stedfastness of your 
faith in Christ. 

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Je'- 
sus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 

7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished 
Lb the faith, as ye have been taught, abound- 
ing therein with thanksgiving. 

8 Beware °lest any man spoil you through 
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition 
of men, after the rudiments of the world, and 
not after Christ. 

9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the 
Godhead bodily. 

10 And d ye are complete in him, which e is 
the head of all principality and power: 

11 In whom also ye are 'circumcised with 
the circumcision made without hands, in put- 
ting off the body of the sins of the flesh by 
the circumcision of Christ: 

12 Buried #with him in "baptism, wherein 
also ye are risen with him through the faith 
of the operation of God, who hath raised him 
from the dead. 

13 And you, being dead in your sins and the 
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened 
together with him, having forgiven you all 
trespasses;

but the body is of Christ.

in a voluntary humility and worshipping of 
angels, intruding into those things which he

mind, 

19 And not holding the Head, from which 
all the body by joints and bands having nour- 
ishment ministered, and knit together, increas-

from the ^rudiments of the world, why, as 
though living in the world, are ye subject to 
ordinances,

sitteth on the right hand of God.

things on the earth. 

3 For ye c are dead, ''and your life is hid 
with Christ in God. 

4 When F Christ, who is ''our life, shall ap- 
pear, then shall ye also appear with him #in 
glory. 

5 3 Mortify therefore your members which 
are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, 
inordinate affection, evil Concupiscence, and 
covetousness, which is idolatry: 

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God 
cometh on the children of disobedience: 

7 In the which ye also walked some time, 
when ye lived in them.

a. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salva- 
tion, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we 
also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and 
salvation. (II Cor. 1:6.) 

b. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour 
Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (II Pet. 
3:18.) 

c. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your 
prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, 
neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. (Jer. 
29:8.) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is 
a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, 
which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. (Heb. 
13:9.) 

d. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that 
ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Eph. 3:19.) 

e. Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels 
and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (I Pet. 3:22.) 

f. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins 
of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my 
fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of 
the evil of your doings. (Jer. 4:4.) 

g. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that 
like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, 
even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Rom. 6:4.) 

h. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and be- 
tween thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt 
bruise his heel. (Gen. 3:15.) Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast 
led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the re- 
bellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them. (Ps. 68:18.) ' 
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 
(Lu. 10:18.) 

i. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is 
weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth 
not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God 
hath received him. (Rom. 14:2, 3.) 

j. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth 
every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 
(Rom. 14:5.) 



k. Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as 
Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the taber- 
nacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pat- 
tern shown to thee in the mount. (Heb. 8:5.) The law having a shadow 
of good things to come. (Heb. 10:1.) 

1. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no 
man take thy crown, (Rev: 3:11.) 

m. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of com- 
mandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one 
new man, so making peace. (Eph. 2:15.) 

n. This people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips 
do honor me, but have removed their heart from me, and their fear 
toward me is taught by the precept of man. (Is. 29:13.)

a. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in 
heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:6.) 

b. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. (Mat. 6:33.) 

c. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but 
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by 
the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 
(Gal. 2:20.) 

d. For we walk by faith, not by sight. (II Cor. 5:7.) God forbid. 
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (Rom. 6:2.) 
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we" thus judge, that if 
one died for all, then were all dead. (II Cor. 5:14.) 

e. When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see 
him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) 

f. I am the resurrection and the life. (Jno. 11:25.) So that ye 
come behind in no gift: waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus 
Christ. (I Cor. 1:7.) Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be 
sober, and hope to the .end for the grace that is to be brought unto you 
at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 1:13.) Who shall change our 
vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, accord- 
ing to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto 
himself. (Phil. 3:21.) 

g. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weak- 
ness; it is raised in power. (I Cor. 15:43.) 

h. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, 
and receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your 
souls. (Js. 1:21.)

k. I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my 
bonds. (Philemon 10.) 

1. And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught 
Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, 
they rushed with one accord into the theatre. (Acts 19:29.) And entering 
into a ship of Adramyttium. we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts 
of Asia, one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 
(Acts 27:2.) 

m. It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of 
all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent 
Theophilus. (Lu. 1:3.) 

n. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the 
holy brethren. (I Thess. 5:27.) 

o. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou 
shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of 
faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. (I Tim. 4:6.)

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 

THESSALONIANS 



NOTE. — The Apostle Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians was written in the year 
coming of Christ and was addressed to the church in Thessalonica, in Macedonia. 



52 A. D. from Corinth, Greece. It was concerning the second 



CHAPTER 1. 
The Thessalonians are given to understand 
how mindful of them Paul was at all times 
in thanksgiving and prayer. 

1 'Paul, Q and "Sil-va'nus, and Ti-mo'the-us, 
unto the church of the Thes-sa-lo'ni-anij, which 
is in ''God the Father and in the Lord Je'sus 
Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from 
God our Father, and the Lord Je'§us Christ. 

2 We give thanks to God always for you 
all, making mention of you in our prayers; 

3 ''Remembering without ceasing your work 
f of 4 faith, ''and labour of love, and patience of 
hope in our Lord Je'§us Christ, in the sight of 
God and our Father; 

4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your ^election 
=of God. 

5 For ^our gospel came not unto you in 
word only, but also in power, and ^in the HS'ly 
Ghost, ''and in much assurance; as ye know 
'what manner of men we were among you for 
your sake. 

6 And ye became followers of us, and of the 
Lord, having received the word in much afflic- 
tion, -'with joy of the Ho'ly Ghost: 

7 So that ye were 6 ensamples to all that be- 
lieve in Mac-e-do'ni-a and A-cha'ia. 

8 For from you 7, 'sounded out the word of 
the Lord not only in Mac-e-do'ni-a and 
A-cha'ia, bat also in every place your faith to 
God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need 
not to speak any thing. 

9 For they themselves shew of us what man- 
ner of entering in we had unto you, and how 
ye turned to God from idols to serve the living 
and true God; 

10 And 'to wait for his Son '"from heaven, 
whom he raised from the dead, even Je'sus, 
which delivered us "from the wrath to come. 

CHAPTER 2. 
In what manner the gospel was preached to 
the Thessalonians, and in what sort they re- 
ceived it. 



Ch. 1. A. D. 54. 



1. In ch. 1 the apostle writes to 
the church concerning his thankful- 
ness for their faith, hope, love and 
their good influence on others. Also 
of his prayerful remembrance of 
them. 



2. Here for the first time in the 
Pauline epistles we notice that the 
author makes no mention of his apos- 
tolic title, simply alluding to himself 
as Paul, doubtless for the reason that 
here there was no one contesting his 
claim to the apostleship. 



3. In vs. 3-10 the apostle reminds 
the church of their Christian faith- 
fulness. 



4. Their firm and earnest trust 
and confident reliance in the prom- 
ises of God, "the substance of things 
hoped for, the evidence of things not 
seen." 



5. The Greek gives "beloved of 
God." As here translated, accord- 
ing to some authorities means, "God 
has elected you as individual believ- 
ers of eternal life." 



6. Examples. 



Ch. 2. A. D. 54. 



1. By claiming or demanding sup- 
port or maintenance. 



2. That is, mild or considerate in 
bearing with the faults of others. 



1 For yourselves, brethren, know our en- 
trance in unto you, that it was not in vain : 

2 But even after that we had suffered be- 
fore, and were shamefully entreated, as ye 
know, at °Phi-lip'pi, we were bold in our God 
to speak unto you the gospel of God with much 
contention. 

3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor 
of uncleanness, nor in guile: 

4 But 6 as we were allowed of God c to be put 
in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not 
as pleasing men, but God, which d trieth our 
hearts. 

5 For neither at any time used we flattering 
words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness ; 
God is witness: 

6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of 
you, nor yet of others, when we might have 
'been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 

7 But we were 2 gentle among you, even as a 
nurse cherisheth her children: 

8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we 
were willing c to have imparted unto you, not 
the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, 
because ye were dear unto us. 

9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour 
and travail: for labouring night and day, be- 
cause we fwould not be chargeable unto any 
of you, we preached unto you the gospel of 
God. 

10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily 
and justly and unblameably we behaved our- 
selves among you that believe: 

11 As ye know how we exhorted and com- 
forted and charged every one of you, as a 
father doth his children, 

12 That oye would walk worthy of God, who 
hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 

13 For this cause also thank we God with- 
out ceasing, because, when ye received the 
word of God which ye heard of us, ye received 
it ''not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, 
the word of God, which effectually worketh also 
in you that believe. 

14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the 



Ref. I Thessalonians. Chapter 1. 

a. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by 
us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but 
in him was yea. (II Cor. 1:19.) 

b. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep 
my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto hira, 
and make our abo-le with him. (Jno. 14:23.) 

c. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that 
ye believe on him whom he hath sent. (Jno. 6:29.) 

d. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, 
which ye have shown toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the 
saints, and do minister. (Heb. 6:10.) 

e. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels 
of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering. 
(Col. 3:12.) But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, 
brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning 
chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief 
of the truth. (II Thess. 2:13.) 

f. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall 
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, 
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Is. 55:11.) Fur- 
thermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door 
was opened unto me of the Lord. (II Cor. 2:12.) Even so hath the Lord 
ordained that they which preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel. 
(I Cor. 9:14.) 

g. But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, 
in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses (4). By 
pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy 
Ghost, by love unfeigned. (II Cor. 6:4, 6.) 

h. That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in 
love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the 
acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of 
Christ. (Col. 2:2.) 

i. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved 
not ourselves disorderly among you. (II Thess. 3:7.) 

j. And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. 
(Acts 13:52.) As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making 
many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. (II Cor. 
6:10.) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, 
gentleness, goodness, faith. (Gal. 5:22.) 



k. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound wenJ 
into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom. 
10:18.) 

1. To them who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory 
and honor and immortality, eternal life. (Rom. 2:7.) For our conver- 
sation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord 
Jesus Christ. (Phil. 3:20.) Looking for that blessed hope, and the 
glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. (Tit. 
2:13.) 

m. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up 
into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, 
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 
(Acts 1:11.) 

n. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation 
by our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Thess. 5:9.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magis- 
trates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. (Acts 16:22.) 

b. Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: 
yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord 
to be faithful. (I Cor. 7:25.) 

c. But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, 
which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our 
Saviour. (Tit. 1:3.) 

d. The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the 
Lord trieth the hearts. (Prov. 17:3.) 

e. For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual 
gift, to the end ye may be established. (Rom. 1:11.) And I am sure 
that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing 
of the gospel of Christ. (Rom. 15:29.) 

f. And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable 
to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came 
from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from 
being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. (II Cor. 11:9.) 

g. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being 
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. 
(Col. 1:10.) 

h. He that receiveth you receiveth me; and he that receiveth me 
receiveth him that sent me. (Mat. 10:40.)

churches of God which in Ju-das'a are in Christ 
Je'§us: for ye also have suffered like things 
of your own countrymen, even 'as they have of 
the Jew§: 

15 Who both killed the Lord Je'sus, and 
^'their own prophets, and have persecuted us; 
and they please not God, and are contrary to 
all men: 

16 Forbidding 7v "us to speak to the Gen'tiles. 
that they might be saved, 'to fill up their sins 
alway: "'for the wrath is come upon them to 
the uttermost. 

17 But we, brethren, being taken from you 
for a short time in presence, not in heart, en- 
deavoured the nore abundantly to see your 
face with great desire. 

18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, 
even I Paul, once and again; but Sa'tan hin- 
dered us. 

19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown 
of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the pres- 
ence of our Lord Je'§us Christ "at his coming? 

20 For ye are our glory and joy. 

CHAPTER 3. 
Paul testifieth his great love to the Thessalo- 
nians by sending Timothy unto them to 
strengthen and comfort them. 

1 Wherefore when we could no longer for- 
bear, "we thought it good to be left at Ath'ens. 
alone; 

2 And sent ''Ti-mo'the-us, our brother, and 
minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the 
gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to com- 
fort you concerning your faith : 

3 That c no man should be moved by these 
Afflictions : for yourselves know that d we are 
appointed thereunto. 

4 For c verily, when we were with you, we 
told you before that we should suffer tribula- 
tion; even as it came to pass, and ye know. 

5 For this cause, when I could no longer for- 
bear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some 
means the tempter have tempted you, and our 
-labour be in vain. 

6 But #now when Ti-mo'the-us came from 
you unto us, and brought us good tidings of 
your faith and charity, and that ye have good 
remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to 
see us, 7 'as we also to see you: 

7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted

1. The persecutions 
countrymen. 



2. To external trials or persecu- 
tions, such as were encountered at 
Corinth and in Koine. 



3. Your firm and earnest trust and 
confident reliance in the statements 
and promises of God, "the substance 
of things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



Ch. 4. A. D. 54. 



1. In ch. 4 the apostle exhorts the 
church to chastity, to brotherly love, 
to industry, and not to mourn for 
their dead as though without hope. 



2. In vs. 1-S the apostle exhorts 
the church to sanctification, or a per- 
fect setting forth of one's self to the 
true service of Christ. 



3. His body. Some authorities in- 
terpret this word to mean wife, but 
this view is not as universally ac- 
cepted as the first interpretation. 



4. Sensual appetites, or lust. 



over you in all our 2 affliction and distress by 
your "faith: 

8 For now we live, if ye 'stand fast in the 
Lord. 

9 For what thanks can we render to God 
again for you, for all the joy wherewith we 
joy for your sakes before our God; 

10 Night ■'and day praying exceedingly that 
we might see your face, and might perfect 
that which is lacking in your faith? 

11 Now God himself and our Father, and 
our Lord Je'sus Christ, direct our way unto 
you. 

12 And the Lord make you to increase and 
abound in love one toward another, and toward 
all men, even as we do toward you: 

13 To the end he may stablish your hearts 
unblameable in holiness before God, even our 
Father, at the coming of our Lord Je'sus 
Christ fc with all his saints. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 He exhorteth to godliness, 6 to live justly, 
9 to love one another, 13 and to sorroiu 
moderately for the dead. 15 And unto his 
last exhortation is annexed a brief descrip- 
tion of the second coming of Christ to judg- 
ment. 

1 furthermore ^hen we beseech you, breth- 
ren, and exhort you by the Lord Je'§us, that 
as ye have received of us how ye ought to 
walk "and to please God, so ye would abound 
more and more. 

2 For ye know what commandments we 
gave you by the Lord Je'§us. 

3 For this is 6 the will of God, even your 
sanctification, that ye should abstain from for- 
nication: 

4 That f every one of you should know how 
to possess his Vessel in sanctification and 
honour ; 

5 Not in the lust of 'concupiscence, even as 
the Gen 'tiles, which know not God: 

6 That d no man go beyond and defraud his 
brother in any matter: because that the Lord 
is the avenger of all such, as we also have 
forewarned you and testified. 

7 For God hath not called us unto unclean- 
ness, e but unto holiness. 

8 -He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not 
man, but God, ^who hath also given unto us 
his holy Spirit. 



i. Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock, both by reproaches 
and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions o£ them that 
were so used. • (Heb. 10:33.) 

j. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they 
have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; 
of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers. (Acts 7:52.) 

k. Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowl- 
edge; ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye 
hindered. (Lu. 11:52.) 

1. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for 
the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. (Gen. 15:16.) 

m. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be 
not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not 
yet. (Mat. 24:6.) 

n. To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness 
before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ 
with all his saints. (I Thess. 3:13.) For this we say unto you by the 
word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming 
of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (I Thess. 4:15.) 
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his 
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 
(Mat. 16:27.) Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my 
words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the 
Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with 
the holy angels. (Mk. 8:38.) Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he 
tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. (Jno. 21:22.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and 
iving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him 

with all speed, they departed. (Acts 17:15.) 

b. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you 
by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, 
but in him was yea. (II Cor. 1:19.) 

a. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, 
which in your glory. (Eph. 3:13.) 

d. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have 
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; 
I have overcome the world. (Jno. ](;::;::,) 

e. But none of thesi things move me, neither count I my life dear 
unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the min- 



istry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of 
the grace of God. (Acts 20:24.) 

f. And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto tbem that 
gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which 
were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in 
vain. (Gal. 2:2.) 

g. After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to 
Corinth. (Acts 18:1.) 

h. For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the 
bowels of Jesus Christ. (Phil. 1:8.) 

i. Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy 
and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. (Phil. 4:1.) 

j. Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day 
and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am 
accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:7.) 

k. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, 
saying Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints. (Jude 
14.)

fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. 
(Col. 1:10.) 

b. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of 
the -Lord is. (Eph. 5:17.) 

c. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your 
flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness 
and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants 
to righteousness unto holiness. (Rom. 6:19.) 

d. Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to 
another (11). Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him: 
the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until 
the morning. (Lev. 19:11, 13.) 

e. For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify your- 
selves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile 
yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the 
earth. (Lev. 11:44.) 

f. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you de- 
spiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

9 *But as touching brotherly love ye need 
not that I write unto you: for ft ye yourselves 
are taught of God 'to love one another. 

10 And indeed ye do it toward all the breth- 
ren which are in all Mac-e-d5'ni-a : but we 
beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more 
and more; 

11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do 
your own business, and to work with your own 
hands, as we commanded you; 

12 That ye may walk honestly toward them 
that are without, and that ye may have lack 
of nothing. 

13 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, 
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, 
that ye sorrow not, even as •'others which have 
no hope. 

14 For A 'if we believe that Je'§us died and 
rose again, even so them also which sleep in 
Je'§us will God bring with him. 

15 For this we say unto you 'by the word of 
the Lord, that we which are alive and remain 
unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent 
them which are asleep. 

16 For "'the Lord himself shall descend from 
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the 
archangel, and with the 7 trump of God: and 
the dead in Christ shall rise *first: 

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall 
be caught up together with "them "in the clouds, 
to meet the Lord in the air: and so "shall we 
ever be with the Lord. 

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these 
words. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 He proceedeth in the former description of 
Christ's coming to judgment, 14 exhorteth 
the brethren to various duties, 16 and giv- 
eth divers precepts, 23 and so concludeth 
the epistle with the apostolic benediction. 

1 *But of "the times 2 and the seasons, breth- 
ren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 

2 For yourselves know perfectly that l the 
day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the 
night. 

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 



5. In vs. 9-12 the apostle exhorts 
the church to brotherly love and 
Christian quietness. 



6. In vs. 13-18 the church is ex- 
horted not to mourn for their dead 
as they who have no hope, for the 
righteous shall rise with Christ. 



7. The celestial music announcing 
the second coming of the incarnate 
person, the Son of God. 



8. That is. the dead shall rise be- 
fore the living are changed. 



9. The dead who have risen in 
Christ. 



Ch. 5. A. D. 54. 



1. In ch. 5 the apostle declares 
the suddenness of Christ's coming 
should incite the church to constant 
watchfulness. He tells them that he 
will constantly pray for them that 
they may continue blameless in body 
and soul til] Christ's coming. 



The day of judgment. 



3. In vs. 12-15 the apostle ad- 
monishes the church to the fulfilling 
of all its duties. 



4. In vs. 16-1S the apostle declares 
it to be the duty of Christians to 
give vent to the Joy in their souls. 



5. In vs. 19-22 the apostle admon- 
ishes the church concerning its duty 
regarding its relations to God the Fa- 
ther, and Christ the Savior. 



then c sudden destruction cometh upon them, as 
travail upon a woman with child; and they 
shall not escape. 

4 d But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 
that that day should overtake you as a thief. 

5 Ye are all c 'the children of light, and the 
children of the day: we are not of the night, 
nor of darkness. 

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; 
but let us watch and be sober. 

7 For fthey that sleep, sleep in the night; 
and they that be drunken #are drunken in the 
night. 

8 But let us who are of the day, be sober, 
putting on the ''breastplate of faith and love; 
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 

9 For 'God hath not appointed us to wrath, 
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Je'sus 
Christ, 

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake 
or sleep, we should live together with him. 

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 
and edify one another, even as also ye do. 

12 3 And we beseech you, brethren, 'to know 
them which labour among you, and are over 
you in the Lord, and admonish you; 

13 And to esteem them very highly in love 
for their work's sake. And be at peace among 
yourselves. 

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them 
that are unruly, "comfort the feebleminded, 
support the weak, be patient toward all men. 

15 See 'that none render evil for evil unto 
any man; but ever 'follow that which is good, 
both among yourselves, and to all men. 

16 4 Rejoice evermore. 

17 Pray "'without ceasing. 

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is 
the will of God in Christ Je'sus concerning 
you. 

19 D Quench "not the Spirit. 

20 Despise not °prophesyings. 

21 Prove sail things; hold fast that which is 
good. 

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 

23 And 'the very God of peace sanctify you 
wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and 



maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our 
hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us. (Rom. 5:5.) Who 
hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 
(II Cor. 1:22.) And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit 
of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Gal. 4:6.) And he 
that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and be in him. And 
hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given 
us. (I Jno. 3:24.) 

h. It is written in the Prophets, And they shall be all taught of 
God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the 
Father, cometh unto me. (Jno. 6:45.) But ye have an unction from 
the Holy One, and ye know all things. (I Jno. 2:20.) 

i. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; 
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (Jno. 13:34.) 

j. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor 
print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. (Lev. 19:28.) 

k. But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not 
risen. (I Cor. 15:13.) 

1. For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat 
no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that 
thou earnest. He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an 
angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back 
with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But 
he lied unto him. (I Ks. 13:17, 18.) 

m. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: 
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the 
Son of man coming m the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 
(Mat. 24:30.) 

n. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was 
taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9.) 
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up 
hither. And they ascended un to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies 
beheld them. (Rev. 11:12.) 

o. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there 
shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father 
honor. (Jno. 12:26.) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will 
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye 
may be also. (Jno. 14:3.) And there shall be no more eurse: but the 
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall 
serve him: And thev shall see his face; and his name shall be in their 
foreheads. (Rev. 22:3, 4.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or 
the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (Acts 1:7.) 



b. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known 
what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have 
suffered his house to be broken through. (Lu. 12:39.) 

c. Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a 
destruction from the Almighty. (Is. 13:6.) 

d. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is 
true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light 
now shineth. (I Jno. 2:8.) 

e. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the 
Lord: walk as children of light. (Eph. 5:8.) 

f. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be 
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, 
and so that day come upon you unawares. (Lu. 21:34.) 

g. For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the 
third hour of the day. (Acts 2:15.) 

h. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of 
salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for 
clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. (Is. 59:17.) Stand there- 
fore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast- 
plate of righteousness. (Eph. 6:14.) 

i. What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power 
known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to 
destruction? (Rom. 9:22.) Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth 
sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let 
every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (II 
Tim. 2:19.) 

j. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold 
such in reputation. (Phil. 2:29.) 

k. Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and 
he shall save thee. (Prov. 20:22.) 

1. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, 
especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Gal. 6:10.) 

xn. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought 
always to pray, and not to faint. (Lu. 18:1.) 

n. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed 
unto the day of redemption. (Eph. 4:30.) Wherefore I put thee in 
remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the 
putting on of my hands. (II Tim. 1:6.) 

o. Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that 
ye may prophesy. (I Cor. 14:1.) 

q. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether 
they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the 
world. (I Jno. 4:1.)

THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE 

THESSALONIANS 



NOTE. — The Apostle Paul's Second Epistle to the Thessalonians was written in the year 52 A. D., a few months after his first letter, the apostle being still at 
Corinth, in Greece. This second letter was written to correct a false impression which the church had got from the apostle's first letter, viz., when he 
spoke in the 4th and 5th chs. of the suddenness of Christ's second coming and of the hour no man knew, they came to the conclusion that the time was 
now at hand, which, being a false conclusion, the apostle seeks to correct it in this letter. 



CHAPTER 1. 

Paul certifieth them of the good opinion ivhich 

he had of their faith, love, and patience. ' 

1 'Paul, "and Sll-va'nus, and Ti-mo'the-us, 
unto the church of the Thes-sa-16'ni-ans. in 
God our Father and the Lord Je'§us Christ: 

2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our 
Father and the Lord Je'§us Christ. 

3 We are bound to thank God always for 
you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your 
faith groweth ^exceedingly, and the charity of 
every one of you all toward each other abound- 
eth; 

4 So that f we ourselves glory in you in the 
churches of God ''for your patience and faith 
f in all your persecutions and tribulations that 
ye endure: 

5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous 
judgment of God, that ye may be counted 
^worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye 
also suffer: 

6 Seeing #it is a righteous thing with God 
to ^recompense tribulation to them that trouble 
you; 

7 And to you who are troubled rest ''with us, 
when the Lord Je'sus shall be revealed from 
heaven with 'his mighty angels, 

8 In naming 3 fire taking Vengeance on them 
that know not God, and that obey not the gos- 
pel of our Lord Je'sus Christ: 

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting 
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and 
■'from the glory of his power; 

10 When he shall come to be glorified in his 
saints, and to be admired in all them that be- 
lieve (because our testimony among you was 
believed) in that day. 

11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, 
that our God would count you worthy of this 
calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his 
goodness, and the work of faith with power: 

12 That the name of our Lord Je'§us Christ 



Ch. 1. A. D. 54. 



1. In oh. 1 the apostle commends 
the church for their faith and love 
and patience in their persecutions, 
and says that he will continue to 
pray that they may go on to Chris- 
tian perfection. ' 



2. Repay. 



3. The flame of his glory, as. the 
flame which accomoanied the manifes- 
tation in the burning bush (Ex. 3:2) 
— "And the angel of the Lord ap- 
peared unto him in a flame of fire out 
of the midst of a bush." Also the 
giving of the law at Sinai (Ex. 19:1S) 
— "And Mt. Sinai was altogether on a 
smoke, because the Lord descended 
upon it in fire." 



4. Administering retribution. 



5. While the old identity may be 
destroyed, the essentials are not an- 
nihilated — destruction does not mean 
annihilation. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 54. 



1. In ch. 2 the apostle corrects 
their error as to Christ's immediate 
coming and exhorts them to remain 
steadfast in the love of Christ. 



2. A falling away or breaking up 
of the church of God. 



3. Satan. 



The deceit of unrighteousness. 



may be glorified in you, and ye in him, accord- 
ing to the grace of our God and the Lord 
Je'gus Christ. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 He willeth them to be steclfast, 3 sheweth 
that there shall be a departure from the 
faith, 9 and a discovery of antichrist, be- 
fore the day of the Lord come. 

1 'Now we beseech you, brethren, by the 
coming of our Lord Je'sus Christ, "and by our 
gathering together unto him, 

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be 
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor 
by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ 
is at hand. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: 
for that day shall not come, except there come 
a falling 2 away first, and & that man of "'sin be 
revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and f! exalteth himself above 
f 'all that is called God, or that is worshipped; 
so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, 
shewing himself that he is God. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet 
with you, I told you these things? 

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that 
he might be revealed in his time. 

7 For c the mystery of iniquity doth already 
work: only he who now letteth will let, until 
he be taken out of the way. 

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, 
whom fthe Lord shall consume fi'with the spirit 
of his mouth, and shall destroy with ''the 
brightness of his coming: 

9 Even him, whose coming is 'after the 
working of Sa'tan with all power and -'signs 
and lying wonders, 

10 And with all Meceivableness of unright- 
eousness in s them that perish; because they 
received not the love of the truth, that they 
might be saved. 



Ref. II Thessalonians. Chapter 1. 

a. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you 
by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, 
but in him was yea. (II Cor. 1:19.) 

b. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean 
hands shall be stronger and stronger. (Job 17:9.) 

c. For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not 
ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our 
boasting, which I mide before Titus, is found a truth. (II Cor. 7:14.) 

d. Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of 
love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God 
and our Father. (I Thess. 1:3.) 

e. For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which 
in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of 
your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews. (I Thess. 2:14.) 

f. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled 
their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are 
worthy. (Rev. 3:4.) 

g. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Lord, 
holy and true, dost thou no. judge and avenge our blood on them that 
dwell on the earth? (Rev. fi:10.) 

h. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed 
are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the 
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow 
them. (Rev. 14:13.) 

i. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall de- 
clare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every 
man's work of what sort it is. (I Cor. 3:13.) But a certain fearful 
looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the 
adversaries. (Heb. 10:27.) For our God is a consuming fire. (Heb. 
12:29.) But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same 
word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment 
and perdition of ungodly men. (II Pet. 3:7.) Even as Sodom and Go- 
morrha, and the cities about them, in like manner giving themselves 
over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an 
example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 7.) The same 
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, wh'ch is poured out with- 
out mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented 
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the 
presence of the Lamb. (Rev. 14:10.) 

j. And he said. The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir 
unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten 



thousands of saints; from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 
(Dt. 33:2.) 
Chapter 2. 

a. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, 
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one 
end of heaven to the other. (Mat. 24:31.) 

b. And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall 
wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and 
laws; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and 
the dividing of time. (Dan. 7:25.) 

c. • For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I 
will- exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the 
mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. (Is. 14:13.) 

d. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven 
or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many). (I Cor. 8:5.) 

e. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in 
the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye 
have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 
(I Jno. 4:3.j 

f. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand 
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn 
spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, 
and given to the burning flame. (Dan. 7:10, 11.) 

g. By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils 
are they consumed. (Job. 4:9.) 

h. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indigna- 
tion, which shall devour the adversaries. (Heb. 10:27.) 

i. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We 
be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. (Jno. 8:41.) 
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the 
voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all 
in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy 
sorceries were all nations deceived. (Rev. 18:23.) 

j. If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and 
giveth thee a sign or a wonder (1), Thou shalt not hearken unto the 
words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your 
God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all 
your heart and with all your soul. (Dt. 13:1, 3.)

11 And 'for this "cause God shall send them 
strong delusion, "'that they should believe a 
"lie: 

12 That they all might be 7 damned who be- 
lieved not the truth, but had pleasure in un- 
righteousness. 

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway 
to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, 
because God hath from the beginning chosen 
you to salvation through sanctification of the 
Spirit and belief of the truth : 

14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, 
to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord 
Je'sus Christ. 

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold 
"the traditions which ye have been taught, 
whether by word, or our epistle. 

16 Now our Lord Je'sus Christ himself, and 
God, even our Father, which "hath loved us, 
and hath given us everlasting consolation and 
good hope through grace, 

17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in 
every good word and work. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 He craveth their prayers, 5 maketh request 
to God in their behalf, 6 and giveth them 
divers precepts. 

1 Finally, brethren, 2 pray for us, that the 
word of the Lord may have free course, and 
be glorified, even as it is with you: 

2 And that we may be delivered from un- 
reasonable and wicked men: for all men have 
not faith. 

3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stab- 
lish you, and "keep you from evil. 

4 And we have confidence in the Lord touch- 
ing you, that ye both do and will do the things 
which we command you. 

5 • And 6 the Lord direct your hearts into the 
love of God, and into the patient waiting for 
Christ. 



5. That is, because they receive 
not the cause or love of truth. 



6. Deluded by a man of sin and 

induced to follow him and leave 

Christ, therefore they arc believing a 
lie. 



1. In ch. 3 the apostle asks the 
church for their prayers that he may 
remain steadfast in the Christian 
course he has begun. He expresses 
his confidence in them and tells them 
that he will pray for them. He ex- 
horts them against idleness, setting 
forth his own example. 



2. In vs. 1-5 is the apostle's hope- 
ful prayer for their continued pa- 
tient firmness. 



3. In vs. 6-15 the apostle exhorts 
the church against idleness and re- 
quires all who do not become indus- 
trious to be disowned. 



6 3 Now we command you, brethren, in the 
name of our Lord Je'§us Christ, c that ye with- 
draw yourselves ''from every brother that 
walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition 
which he received of us. 

7 For yourselves know how ye ought to fol- 
low us: for we behaved not ourselves disor- 
derly among you; 

8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for 
nought; but c wrought with labour and travail 
night and day, that we might not be charge- 
able to any of you: 

9 Not ''because we have not power, but to 
make ourselves an ensample <?unto you to fol- 
low us. 

10 For even when we were with you, this 
we commanded you, that if any ''would not 
work, neither should he eat. 

11 For we hear that there are some which 
walk among you 'disorderly, working not at 
all, but are busybodies. 

12 Now them that are such we command 
and exhort by our Lord Je'sus Christ, -'that 
with quietness they work, and eat their own 
bread. 

13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well 
doing. 

14 And if any man obey not our word by 
this epistle, note that man, and have no com- 
pany with him, that he may be ashamed. 

15 Yet l 'count him not as an enemy, but ad- 
monish him as a brother. 

16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you 
peace always by all means. The Lord be with 
you all.

hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I 
write. 

18 The grace of our Lord Je'sus Christ be 
with you all. Amen. 



saved, and in them that perish. (II - Cor. 2:15.) But if our gospel be 
hid, it is hid to them that are lost. (II Cor. 4:3.) 

1. And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I 
the Lord have deceived that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand 
upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. 
(Ez. 14:9.) 

m. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and 
shall deceive many. (Mat. 24:5.) 

n. Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, 
and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. (I Cor. 11:2.) 

o. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness, and the 
first-begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. 
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. 
(Rev. 1:5.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but 
that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (Jno. 17:15.) The Lord 
knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the 
unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. (II Pet. 2:9.) 

b. Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep 
this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy 
people, and prepare their heart unto thee. (I Chr. 29:18.) And we have 
known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he 
that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (I Jno. 4:16.) 

c. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions 
and offences contrary to the doctrine which ve have learned; and avoid 
them. (Rom. 16:17.) 

d. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any 
man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, 



or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not 
to eat. (I Cor. 5:11.) 

e. And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and 
wrought: for by their occupation they were tent-makers. (Acts 18:3.) 
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my 
necessities, and to them that were with me. (Acts 20:34.) 

f. Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor 
yet staves; for the workman is worthy of his meat. (Mat. 10:10.) Let 
the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially 
they who labor in the word and doctrine. (I Tim. 5:17.) 

g. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples 
to the flock. (I Pet. 5:3.) 

h. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return 
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and 
unto dust shalt thou return. (Gen. 3:19.) And that ye study to be quiet, 
and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we 
commanded you. (I Thess. 4:11.) 

i. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: 
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, 
he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper 
in his hand. (Is. 53:10.) 

j. Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. 
(Rom. 12:11.) 

k. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine, heart: thou shalt in 
any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him. (Lev. 
19:17.) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, 
but rather reprove them. (Eph. 5:11.) Now we exhort you, brethren, 
warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the 
weak, be patient toward all men. (I Thess. 5:14.) Them that sin rebuke 
before all, that others also may fear. (I Tim. 5:20.) 



THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO 



TIMOTHY 



NoXE. — The Apostle Paul's letter to Timothy was written in the year 65 A. D., while the apostle was at Macedonia, and addressed personally to 
Timothy, who was then at Ephesus in Asia Minor, the subject being the work of the ministry. The special object or purpose of the letter was (1) to 
direct Timothy to charge the false teachers to leave their fallacies and teach the Gospel of Christ; (2) to instruct Timothy concerning the order of 
conducting public worship, the qualifications of bishops and deacons, and the selection of widows to do certain appointed service in return for charity 
received; U : J to instruct Timothy to warn the church against covetousness, a sin so prevalent at Ephesus at that time. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Timothy is put in mind of the charge given 
auto him by Paul at his going to Macedonia. 
5 Of the right use and end of the laiv. 

1 'Paul, an apostle of Je'sus Christ "by the 
commandment ^of God our Saviour, and Lord 
Je'sus Christ, which c is our hope; 

2 Unto ''Tim'o-thy, my own son in the faith : 
Grace, 'meicy, and peace, from God our Fa- 
ther and Je'§us Christ our Lord. 

3 2 As I besought thee to abide still at Eph'e- 
sus, when I went into Mac-e-do'ni-a, that thou 
mightest charge some that they teach no other 
doctrine, 

4 Neither give heed to "fables and endless 
genealogies, which minister questions, rather 
than godly edifying which is in faith : so do. 

5 Now ^the 4 end of the commandment is 
charity "out of a pure heart, and of a good

6 From which some having swerved have 
turned aside unto vain jangling; 

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; under- 
standing neither what they say, nor whereof 
they affirm. 

8 But we know that 'the law is good, if a 
man use it lawfully; 

9 Knowing 'this, that the law is not made 
for a righteous man, but for the ''lawless and

1. In ch. 1 Paul tells Timothy 
that his puipose in leaving him at 
Ephesus was that he (Timothy I 
might cheek the false teachers and 
teach a true use of 'the law, har- 
monizing it with the Gospel; also 
that he might tell of the power of 
God's grace in calling him (Paul) 
once a persecutor, to an experience 
in Christ and a preacher of his faith. 



2. In vs. 3-11 the apostle urges 
the sate keeping of a pure Gospel 
doctrine in the church.

gin and propagation of angels as 
taught by the false teachers at Co-

Ch. 2. A. D. 65. 



1. In ch. 2 Paul charges Timothy 
concerning the order of public wor- 
ship, directing him to iutercede for 
all men as Christ died for all men. 
He also instructs him concerning the 
respective duties of men and women 
in public worship, stating woman's 
subjection aud sphere of duty. 



2. In vs. 1-S Paul charges Timo- 
thy that all public prayers shall be 
offered by men. 



hath enabled me, '"for that he counted me 
faithful, "putting me into the ministry; 

13 Who "was before a blasphemer, and a 
persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mer- 
cy, because Pi did it ignorantly in unbelief. 

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceed- 
ing abundant with faith '^and love which is in 
Christ Je'§us. 

15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy 
of all acceptation, 'that Christ Je'sus came 
into the world to save sinners; of whom I am 
chief. 

16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, 
that in me first Je'§us Christ might shew forth 
all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which 
should hereafter believe on him to life ever- 
lasting. 

17 Now unto s the King eternal, immortal, 
'invisible, the only wise God, be honour and 
glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

18 This charge I commit unto thee, son 
Tim'o-thy, "according to the prophecies which 
went before on thee, that thou by them might- 
est war a good warfare; 

19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; 
which some having put away concerning faith 
have made shipwreck:

They are not permitted to teach. 15 They 
shall be saved in childbirth, if they continue 
in faith.

of thanks, be made for all men;

e. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) With the merciful thou wilt show

(Ps. 18:25.) Go and proclaim these words toward the noith, and say, 
Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause

will not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, as 
your Father also is merciful. (Lu. 6:36.) And the publican, standing 
afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote 
upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Lu. 18:13.)

h. Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, 
as of evil doers, tney may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good 
conversation in Christ (16). The light figure whereunto even baptism 
doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but 
the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of 
Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 3:16, 21.) I thank God, whom I served from my

and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. (II

be destroyed. (Dan. 7:14.) The blessed and only Potentate, the King of 
kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality. (I Tim. 6:15, 16.) 
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome 
them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that are with 
him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Rev. 17:14.) And he hath on

2 For Q kings, and 'for all that are in au- 
thority; that we may lead a quiet and peace- 
able life in all godliness and honesty. 

3 For this is ^good and acceptable in the 
sight of God our Saviour; 

4 Who a ~will have all men to be saved, and 
to c come unto the knowledge of the truth. 

•5 For there is one God, and one mediator 
between God and men, the man Christ Je'sus; 

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be 
testified '"in due time. 

7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and 
an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and 
lie not;) a teacher of the Gen 'tiles in faith and 
verity. 

8 I will therefore that men pray every 
where, -^lifting up holy hands, without wrath 
and doubting. 

9 In like manner also, that women adorn 
themselves in modest apparel, with shame- 
facedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, 
or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 

10 But (which becometh women professing 
godliness) with good works. 

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all 
subjection. 

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to 
usurp ^authority over the man, but to be in 
silence. 

13 For -Ad'am was first formed, then Eve. 

14 And Adam was not Meceived, but the 
woman being deceived was in the transgression. 

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in 
s?l childbearing, if they continue in faith and 
charity and holiness with sobriety. 

CHAPTER 3. 
3 Mow bishops, deacons, and their wives should 
be qualified. 15 Of the church, and the 
blessed truth therein taught. 

1 : This is a true saying, If a man desire the 
office of a a bishop, he desireth a good work. 

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the hus- 
band of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good be- 
haviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy 
of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not 
covetous ; 



3. An autocrat, to appropriate 
onto herself the duties of man. 



4. Here the apostle states the rea- 
son for woman's silence — she is sub- 
ject to man and was created from 
him. 



5. That is. Adam was induced or 
persuaded by Eve and was not de- 
ceived by the serpent. 



6. That is. through her. sin came 
into the world, so also by her, in the. 
birth of Christ, life shall be re- 
stored. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 65. 



1. In ch. 3 Paul giTes Timothy 
the rules concerning the overseers of 
the church. 



2. One newly come into the faith. 



3. That is. must treat all in the 
proper spirit of love and moderation 
and" not speak to superiors in one 
manner and inferiors in another. 



Ch. 4. A. D. 65. 



1. That is. the teachings suggest- 
ed by the ministers of Satan. 



4 One Hhat ruleth well his own house, hav- 
ing his children in subjection with all gravity; 

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his 
own house, how shall he take care of the 
church of God?) 

6 Not a movice, lest being lifted up with 
pride he fall into the condemnation of the 
devil. 

7 Moreover he must have a good report of 
them which are without; lest he fall into re- 
proach and the snare of the devil. 

8 ^Likewise must the deacons be grave, not 
doubletongued, not given to much wine, not 
greedy of filthy lucre; 

9 Holding the mysteiy of the faith in a pure 
conscience. 

10 And let these also first be proved; then 
let them use the office of a deacon, being found 
blameless. 

11 Even so must their wives be grave, not 
slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 

12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one 
wife, ruling their children and their own 
houses well. 

13 For they that have used the office of a 
deacon well purchase to themselves a good 
degree, and great boldness in the faith which 
is in Christ Je'sus. 

14 These things write I unto thee, hoping 
to come unto thee shortly: 

15 But if I tarry long, that thou may est 
know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in 
the house of God, which is the church of the 
living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 

16 And without controversy great is the 
mystery of godliness : c God was manifest in the 
flesh, ^justified in the Spirit, f seen of angels, 
preached '"'unto the Gen 'tiles, -'believed on in the 
world, received up into glory.

shall be a departure from the faith. 

1 Now the Spirit °speaketh expressly, that 

*in the latter times some shall depart from the 

faith, giving heed c to seducing spirits, ^and 

doctrines of Mevils; 



Chapter 2. 

a. Seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be car- 
ried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace 
thereof shall ye have peace. (Jer. 29 :..) 

b. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. (Rom. 13:1.) 

c. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the 
renewing of your mind, that re may prove what is that good, and 
acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Rom. 12:2.) Paul, an apostle of 
Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus 
Christ, which is our hope. (I Tim. 1:1.) And my spirit hath rejoiced 
in God my Saviour. (Lu. 1:47.) 

d. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his 
thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy 
upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Is. 55:7.) 
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who- 
soever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
(Jno. 3:16.) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some 
men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that 
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Pet. 3:9.) 
Have l any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord 
God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? (23). For 
I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth. saith the Lord God: 
Wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. (Ez. 1S:23, 32.) For the grace 
of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. (Tit. 2:11.) 

e. This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true 
God. and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Jno. 17:3.) In meekness 
instructing those -that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give 
them repentance to the acknowledging of the .truth. (II Tim. 2:25.) 
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 
(II Tim. 3:7.) Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, 
according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth 
which is after godliness. (Tit. 1:1.) For if we sin wilfully after that 
we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more 
sacrifice for sins. (Heb. 10:26.) 

f. But wben the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his 
Son, made of a woman, made under the law. (Gal. 4:4.) 

?. For from the rising of the sun. even unto the going down of the 
same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place 
incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my 
name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. (Maf. 
1:11.) 

h. Unto the woman he said. I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and 
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children: and thy desire 
shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Gen. 3:16.) And 
say unto him. Take heed, and be quiet: fear not, neither be faint- 
hearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce 
anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. (Is. 7:4.) 



For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government 
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, 
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of 
Peace. (Is. 9:6.) 
Chapter 3. 

a. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over 
the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church 
of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:2S.) 

b. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this 
day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served, 
that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, 
in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the 
Lord. (Josh. 24:15.) I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. 
when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a 
perfect heart. (Ps. 101:2.) 

c. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The 
Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6.) 

d. This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not 
by water only, but by water and blood. (I Jno. 5:6.) 

e. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the 
Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from 
the door, and -sat upon it. (Mat. 28:2.) And suddenly there was with 
the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God. (Lu, 2:13.) Un- 
to whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us, 
they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by them 
that have preached the Gospel unto you with tie Holy Ghost sent down 
from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. (I Pet. 1:12.) 

f. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the giory 
of this mvstery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope 
of glory. (Col. 1:27.) 

g. Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world: and bringeth 
forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and 
knew the grace of God in truth. (Col. 1:6.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you 
unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he 
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. 
(Jno. 16:13.) 

b. WTio verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, 
but was manifest in these last times for you. (I Pet. 1:20.) 

c. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as 
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) 

d. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having c their 
conscience seared with a hot iron; 

3 Forbidding ^to marry, and commanding to 
abstain from meats, which God hath created 
' 7 to be received with thanksgiving of them 
which believe and know the truth. 

4 For every creature of God is good, and 
nothing to be refused, if it be received with 
thanksgiving : 

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and 
prayer. 

6 Tf thou put the brethren in remembrance 
of these things, thou shalt be a good minister 
of Je'sus Christ, nourished up Mn the words 
of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou 
hast attained. 

7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, 
and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 

8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but 
godliness is profitable unto all things, having 
'promise of the life that now is, and of that 
which is to come. 

9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of 
all acceptation. 

10 For therefore we both labour and suffer 
reproach, because we trust in the living God, 
J'who is the Saviour of all men, specially of 
those that believe. 

11 These things command and teach. 

12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be 
thou an example of the believers, in word, in 
conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, In 
purity. 

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to 
exhortation, to doctrine. 

14 Neglect *not the gift that is in thee, which 
was given thee 'by prophecy, '"with the laying 
on of the hands of the presbytery. 

15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself 
wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear 
to all. 

16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doc- 
trine; continue in them: for in doing this thou 
shalt both save thyself, and them that hear 
thee. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 Rales to be observed in reproving. 3 Of 

widows. 17 Of elders. 23 A precept for 

Timothy's health. 

1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as 
a father; and the younger men as brethren; 



2. In vs. 6-10 the apostle appeals 
to Timothy concerning his great per- 
sonal responsibility. 



Ch. 5. A. D. 65. 



1. In ch. 5 the apostle directs 
Timothy in the manner he should deal 
with the different classes in the 
church. 



2. Gay. prodigal, frivolous, wheth- 
er chaste or unchaste. 



3. In vs. 9-15 the apostle gives 
Timothy the rules which shall govern 
the selection of widows for church 
charity. 



4. In vs. 17-25 the apostle gives 
the rules governing the pay, ordina- 
tion and purity of the elders. 



2 The elder women as mothers; the younger 
as sisters, with all purity. 

3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 

4 But if any widow have children or neph- 
ews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, 
and to requite their parents: for- that is good 
and acceptable before God. 

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and deso- 
late, trusteth in God, and continueth in suppli- 
cations and prayers night and day. 

6 But she that liveth in pleasure "is dead 
while she liveth. 

7 And these things give in charge, that they 
may be blameless. 

8 But if any provide not for his own, and 
specially for those of his own house, he hath 
denied- the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 

9 3 Let not a widow be taken into the number 
under threescore years old, having been the 
wife of one man, 

10 Well reported of for good works; if she 
have brought up children, if she have "lodged 
strangers, if she have 6 washed the saints' feet, 
if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have 
diligently followed every good work. 

11 But the younger widows refuse: for when 
they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, 
they will marry; 

12 Having damnation, because they have 
cast off their first faith. 

13 And *withal they learn to be idle, wan- 
dering about from house to house; and not 
only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, 
speaking things which they ought not. 

14 I will therefore that the younger women 
marry, bear children, guide the house, e give 
none occasion to the adversary to speak re- 
proachfully. 

15 For some are already turned aside after 
Sa'tan. 

16 If ''any man or woman that believeth 
have widows, let them relieve them, and let 
not the church be charged; that it may relieve 
them that are widows indeed. 

17 J Let i'the elders that rule well be counted 
worthy of double honour, especially they who 
labour in the word and doctrine. 

18 For the scripture saith, ''Thou shalt not 
muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, 
'The labourer is worthy of his reward. 

19 Against an elder receive not an accusa- 
tion, but before two or three, witnesses. 



forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather 
them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. (Rev. 16:14.) 

e. Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto las- 
eiviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. (Eph. 4:19.) 

f. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor 
of the Lord. (Prov. 18:22.) Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed 
undeflled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4.) 

g. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as 
the green herb have I given you all things. (Gen. 9:3.) 

h. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and 
hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. And 
that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able 
to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ 
Jesus. (II Tim. 3:14, 15.) 

i. Delight thvself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the 
desires of thine heart. (Ps. 37:4.) But seek ye first the kingdom of 
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto 
you.' (Mat. 6:33.) For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait 
upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth (9). But the meek shall 
inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of 
peace. (Ps. 37:9, 11.) The fear of the Lord tendeth to life; and he that 
hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. (Prov. 
19:23.) By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, honor, and life. 
(Prov. 22:4.) 

j. Thy righteousness is like the great mountain; thy judgments are 
a great deep: Lord, thou preservest man and beast. (Ps. 36:6.) Nev- 
ertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and 
gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with 
food and gladness. (Acts 14:17.) Neither is worshipped with men's 
hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and 
breath, and all things. (Acts 17:25.) 

k. W'herefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the 
gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. (II Tim. 
1:6.) 

1. This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the 
prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest 
war a good warfare. (I Tim. 1:18.) 

m. Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, 
they laid their hands on them. (Acts 6:6.) 



Chapter 5. 

a. And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought 
us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into 
my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. (Acts 16:15.) 

b. Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will 
return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have 
a son. (Gen. 18:14.) And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and 
began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of 
her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 
(Lu. 7:38.) » 

c. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and 
have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy 
Ghost (4), If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repent- 
ance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put 
him to an open shame. (Heb. 6:4, 6.) 

d. For we hear that there are some which walk among you dis- 
orderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. (II Thess. 3:11.) 

e. Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the 
contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 
(Tit. 2:8.) 

f. And she took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in- 
law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her 
that she had reserved after she was sufficed. (Ruth 2:18.) 

g. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that 
teacheth in all good things. (Gal. 6:6.) 

h. Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. 
(Dt. 25:4.) 

1. Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, 
whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land 
within thy gates. (Dt. 24:14.) Nor scrip for your journey, neither two 
coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his 
meat. (Mat. 10:10.) And in the same house remain, eating and drink- 
ing such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go 
not from house to house. (Lu. 10:7.) Even so hath the Lord ordained 
that they which preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel. (I Cor. 
9:14.) Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him: the wages 
of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morn- 
ing. (Lev. 19:13.)

20 Them ;'that sin rebuke before all, that 
others also may fear. 

21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord 
Je'sus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou 
observe these things without preferring one 
before another, doing nothing by partiality. 

22 Lay hands "suddenly on no man, neither 
be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself 
pure. 

23 Drink no longer water, but use a little 
wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often, 
infirmities. 

24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, 
going before to judgment; and some men they 
follow after. 

25 Likewise also the 'good works of some 
are manifest beforehand; and they that are 
otherwise cannot be hid. 

CHAPTER 6. 
1 Of the duty of servants. 3 Not to have fel- 
lowship with newfangled teachers. 6 Godli- 
ness is great gain, 10 and love of money 
the root of all evil. 11 What Timothy is to 
fty, and ivhat to follow. 

1 ^Let as many "servants as are under the 
yoke count their own masters worthy of all 
honour, that the & name of God and his doctrine 
be not blasphemed. 

2 And they that have believing masters, let 
them not despise them, because f 'they are breth- 
ren; but rather do them service, because they 
are faithful and beloved, partakers of the bene- 
fit. These things teach and exhort. 

3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent 
not to wholesome words, even the words of our 
Lord Je'sus Christ, and to the doctrine which 
is according to godliness; 

4 He is proud, c7 knowing nothing, but doting 
about questions and strifes of words, whereof 
cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 

5 Perverse disputings of e men of corrupt 
minds, and destitute of the truth, 'supposing 
that gain is godliness: »from such withdraw 
thyself. 

6 Eut ''godliness with contentment is great 
gain. 

7 For ! 'we brought mothing into this world, 
and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 



5. That is 
investigation. 



without full and free 



G. Paul directs Timothy that, 
when necessary, hi' shall use wiue for 
medicinal purposes, because Timothy 
had heretofore been a total abstainer 
under any and all circumstances. 



Ch. 6. A. D, 65. 



1. In ch. 6. the apostle directs 
Timothy regarding the duty of ser- 
vants and the opposition he shall 
maintain toward false teachers. He 
admonishes him to remain steadfast 
in godliness and gives him a charge 
concerning the rich. 



2. Seemingly for the purpose of 
teaching us that we can take noth- 
ing out of the world with us save 
the character, the germ of character 
development, or the soul, the only 
thing we bring into the world. 



?.. The wishing for it. which lends 
people into covetous ways and unholy 
paths. 



8 And having food and raiment let us be 
therewith content. 

9 But ■'they that will be rich fall into temp- 
tation and a snare, and into many foolish and 
hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction 
and perdition. 

10 For '-the love of "money is the root of all 
evil : which while some coveted after, they have 
erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows. 

11 But thou, '0 man of God, flee these 
things, and follow after righteousness, godli- 
ness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 

12 Fight '"the good fight of faith, lay hold 
on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, 
"and hast professed a good profession before 
many witnesses. 

13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, 
who quickeneth all things, and before Christ 
Je'sus, who before P6n'ti-us Pilate witnessed 
a good confession; 

14 That thou keep this commandment with- 
out spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of 
our Lord Je'sus Christ: 

15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is 
the blessed and only Potentate, the King of 
kings, and Lord of lords; 

16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in 
f 'the light which no man can approach unto; 
•'whom no man hath seen, nor can see: '^to 
whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 

17 Charge them that are rich in this world, 
that they be not highminded, nor trust in 
uncertain riches, but in the living God, who 
giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 

18 That they do good, that they be rich in 
good works, ready to distribute, willing to com- 
municate ; 

19 Laying up in store for themselves a good 
foundation against the time to come, that they 
may lay hold on eternal life. 

20 O Tim'o-thy, keep that which is com- 
mitted to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain 
babblings, and oppositions of science falsely 
so called: 

21 Which some professing have erred con- 
cerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 



j. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they 
may be sound in the faith. (Tit. 1:13.) 

k. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, 
love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, 
or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing: knowing that ye are 
thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. - (I Pet. 3:S, 9.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to 
please them well in ail things; not answering again. (Tit. 2:9.) 

b. Xow therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people 
is taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to 
howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blas- 
phemed. (Is. 52:5.) 

c. Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; 
knowing that ye alsp have a Master in heaven. (Col. 4":1.) 

d. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth 
nothing yet as he ought to know. (I Cor. 8:2.) 

e. Xow as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also 
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 
(II Tim. 3:S.) 

f. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teach- 
ing things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. (Tit. 1:11.) 

g. Xow I beseech you. brethren, mark them which cause divisions 
and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid 
them. (Rom. lrt:17. I 

h. i_,et your conversation he without covetousness; and be content 
with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, 
nor forsake thee. (Heb. 13:5.) 

i. And said. Xaked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked 
shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; 



blessed be the name of the r,ord. (Job 1:21.) For when he dieth he 
shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him. (Ps. 
49:17.) 

j. He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that 
hateth gifts shall live. (Prov. 15:27.) Labor not to be rich; cease from 
thine own wisdom. (Prov. 23:4.) A faithful man shall abound with 
blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 
(Prov. 2S:20.) He also that received seed among the thorns is he that 
heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of 
riches, choke the word, and he beeometh unfruitful. (Mat. 13:22.) Go 
to now, ye rich men, weep and how4 for your miseries, that shall come 
upon you. (Js. 5:1.) 

k. And thou shalt take no gift: for the g'ft blindeth the wise, ar.d 
perverteth the words of the righteous. (Ex. 23:8.) 

1. And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed 
the children of Israel before his death. (Dt. 33:1.) 

m. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith. (II Tim. 4:7.) 

n. Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, 
if he come shortly, I will see you. (Heb. 13:23.) 

o. So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the 
cloud: for the glorv of the Lord had filled the house of God. (II Chr. 
5:14.) 

p. And he said. Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man 
see me, and live. (Ex. 33:20.) Xo man hath seen God at any time: 
the only begotten Son. which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath 
declared him. (Jno. 1:18.) 

q. Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanks- 
giving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and 
ever. Amen. (Rev. 7:12.) 



THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO 



TIMOTHY 



MITE. — The Apostle Paul's second letter to Timothy was written in the year 67 A. D., while the apostle was in prison at Rome, and a short 
time before his death. In it he gives his farewell counsels to Timothy. The apostle is very anxious to see Timothy again before his death, but, fearing 
that this may be impossible, he writes him this second letter, warning him against the heresies of the time and exhorting him to faithfulness and zeal for 
sound doctrine and patience amidst trials. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 Paul's love to Timothy. 6 He is exhorted to 

stir up the gift of God which was in him. 

1 'Paul, an apostle of Je'§us Christ by the 
will of God, according to "the promise of life 
which is in Christ Je'sus, 

2 To Tim'o-thy, my dearly beloved son: 
Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father 
and Christ Je'gus our Lord. 

3 I thank "God, whom I serve from my fore- 
fathers with pure conscience, that without 
ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my 
prayers night and day; 

4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mind- 
ful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 

5 When I call to remembrance the un- 
feigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first 
in thy grandmother Lo'is, and & thy mother 
:; Eu'nice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 

6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that 
thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee 
by the putting on of my hands. 

7 For d God hath not given us the spirit of 
fear; e but of power, and of love, and of a 
sound mind. 

8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the 
testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: 
but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the 
gospel according to the power of God; 

9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an 
holy ^calling, not according to our works, but 
according to "his own purpose and grace, which 
was given us in Christ Je'sus before ''the world 
began, 

10 But 'is now' made manifest by the ap- 
pearing of our Saviour Je'sus Christ, •'who 
hath abolished death, and hath brought life 
and immortality to light through the gospel: 

11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, 
and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gen tiles. 

12 For the which 4 cause I also suffer these 
things : nevertheless I am not ashamed : for I 
know whom I have believed, and am persuaded 
that he is able to keep that which I have Com- 
mitted '''unto him against that "day. 

13 Hold 'fast the '"form of sound words,

1. In ch. 1 the apostle expresses 
his love for Timothy and desire to see

of God in him and to encourage bim

2. For the things expressed in v. 5. 



3. A believing Jewess.

1. In ch. 2 the apostle exhorts 
Timothy to faithfulness as a fol-

pitfalls to be shunned, and shows 
him the nature of the spirit which 
should control the servant of Christ. 



which thou hast heard of me, in faith and 
love which is in Christ Je'sus. 

14 That 7 good thing which was committed 
unto thee keep by the Ho'ly Ghost which dwell- 
eth in us. 

15 This thou knowest, that all they which 
are in A'sia be turned away from me; of whom 
are Phy-gel'lus and Her-m6g'e-ne§. 

16 The Lord "give mercy unto the house of 
6n-e-siph'o-rus; "for he oft refreshed me, and 
was not ashamed of my chain: 

17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me 
out very diligently, and found me. 

18 The Lord grant unto ^him that he may 
find mercy of the Lord <dn that day: and in 
how many things he ministered unto me at 
Eph'e-sus, thou knowest very well. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 He is exhorted again to constancy and perse- 
verance. 22 Whereof to beware, and what 
to folloiv after. 

1 Thou 'therefore, my son, be strong in the 
grace that is in Christ Je'§us. 

2 And the things that thou hast heard of 
me among many witnesses, the same commit 
thou to faithful men, who shall be able to 
teach others also. 

3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good 
soldier of Je'sus Christ. 

4 No "man that warreth entangleth himself 
with the affairs of this life; that he may please 
him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, 
yet is he not crowned, except he strive law- 
fully. 

6 The husbandman that laboureth must be 
first partaker of the fruits. 

7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give 
thee understanding in all things. 

8 Remember that Je'sus Christ of 6 the seed 
of Da'vid "was raised from the dead according 
''to my gospel: 

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, 
even unto bonds; but the word of God is not 
bound. 

10 Therefore I endure all things for the 



Ref. II Timothy. Chapter 1. 

a. Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, accord- 
ing to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth 
which is after godliness. In hope of eternal life, which God, that can- 
not lie, promised before the world began. (Tit. 1:1, 2.) And for this 
cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, 
for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first tes- 
tament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal 
inheritance. (Heb. 9:15.) 

b. Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain dis- 
ciple was there, named Timotheus, (the son of a certain woman, which 
was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek). (Acts 16:1.) 

c. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by 
prophecy, "with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. (I Tim.

because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

tarrv ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from

ing to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and

g. And we know that all things work together for good to them 
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Rom. 
8:28.) 

h. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation 
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in 
love. (Eph. 1:4.) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, 
promised before the world began. (Tit. 1:2.) Now to him that is of 
power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of 
Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was 
kept secret since the world began. (Rom. 16:25.) 

i. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according 
to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself. (Eph. 1:9.) 

j. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and 



this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to 
pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 
death, where is thy sting? grave, where is thy victory? (I Cor.

the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. (Rom. 6:17.)

elect's sakes, c that they may also obtain the 
salvation which is in Christ Je'§us with eternal 
glory. 

11 It Hs a faithful saying: For #if we be 
dead with him, we shall also live with him: 

12 If we suffer, 'we shall also reign with 
him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 

13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful : 
he cannot "deny himself. 

14 3 0f these things put them in remem- 
brance, 'charging them before the Lord that 
they strive not about words to no profit, but 
to the subverting of the hearers. 

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 
rightly dividing the word of truth. 

16 But shun profane and vain babblings : for 
they will increase unto more ungodliness. 

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: 
of whom is Hy-me-nas'us and Phi-le'tus; 

18 Who concerning the truth have erred, 
saying ■'that the 4 resurrection is past already; 
and overthrow the faith of some. 

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God 
standeth sure, having this seal, A The Lord 
knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one 
that nameth the name of Christ depart from 
iniquity. 

20 °But in a great house there are not only 
vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood 
and of earth; and some to honour, and some 
to dishonour. 

21 If a man therefore purge himself from 
these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sancti- 
fied, and meet for the master's use, and pre- 
pared unto every good work. 

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow 
righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them 
that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, 
knowing that they do gender strifes. 

24 And the servant of the Lord must not 
strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to 
teach, patient, 

25 In meekness instructing those that op- 
pose themselves; if God peradventure will give 
them 7 repentance to the acknowledging of the 
truth ; 

26 And that they may recover themselves 
out of the snare of the devil, who are taken 
captive by him at his will. 



2. That is, to deny his nature or 
refus. to bless chose who accept him. 



3. Vs. 14, 15 express Timothy's 
duty of warning the people of the 
errors which would lead them astray. 



4. That is, claiming the resurrec- 
tion to be nothing but the recovery 
of man's dead soul to life. 



Christ. 



6. In vs. 20-26 the apostle exhorts 
Timothy to carefully purge himself 
of all uncleanness that he may meek- 
ly instruct others. 



7. The power or opportuuity of rt 
pentance. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 66. 



1. In ch. 3 the apostle warns 
Timothy of the evil tendencies of the 
time and foretells him of the wick- 
edness of the last days. 



2. To vilify, to revile, to speak 
evil of. to implicate as impious, to 
impute evil to the character of God. 



3. No self-control. 



4. By the direction or impulse of 
God. without reference to the special 
manner of communicating that will. 



CHAPTER 3. 

6 He describeth the enemies of the truth, 10 
propoundeth unto him his own example, 16 
and commendeth the holy scriptures. 

1 This 'know also, that "in the last days 
perilous times shall come. 

2 For men shall be lovers of their own 
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, ""'blasphemers, 
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, 
false accusers, 'incontinent, fierce, despisers of 
those that are good, 

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of 
pleasures more than lovers of God; 

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying 
the 6 power thereof: from such turn away. 

6 For c of this sort are they which creep 
into houses, and lead captive silly women laden 
with sins, led away with divers lusts, 

7 Ever learning, and never able d to come 
to the knowledge of the truth. 

8 Now "as Jan'nes. and Jam'bre§ withstood 
Mo'§e§, so do these also resist the truth: men 
of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the 
faith. 

9 But they shall proceed no further: for 
their folly shall be manifest unto all men, fas 
their's also was. 

10 But thou -"hast fully known my doctrine, 
manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering,

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto 
me /! at An'ti-och, *at I-co'ni-um, at Lys'tra; 
what persecutions I endured: ■'but out of them 
all the Lord delivered me. 

12 Yea, and fc all that will live godly in 
Christ Je'§us 'shall suffer persecution. 

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax 
worse and worse, deceiving, and being de- 
ceived. 

14 But continue thou in the things which 
thou hast learned and hast been assured of, 
knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 

15 And that from a child thou hast known 
the holy scriptures, which "'are able to make 
thee wise unto salvation through faith which

of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for re- 



e. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and sal- 
vation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which 
we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation 
and salvation. (II Cor. 1:6.) 

f. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that 
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 
(I Tim. 1:15.) 

g. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his 
death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection (5). Now 
if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. 
(Rom. 6:5, 8.) 

h. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed 
unto me. (Lu. 22:29.) And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration, when the 
Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon 
twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mat. 19:28.) For 
if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which 
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign 
in life by one, Jesus Christ. (Rom.' 5:17.) And if children, then 
heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer 
with him, that we may be also glorified together. (Rom. 8:17.) 

i. I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the 
elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one 
before another, doing nothing by partiality. (I Tim. 5:21.) 

j. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say 
some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? (I Cor. 
15:12.) 

k. The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he 
knoweth them that trust in him. (Nah. 1:7.) I am the good shepherd, 
and know my sheep and am known of mine (14). My sheep hear my 
voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (Jno. 10:14, 27.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. How that they told you there should be mockers in the last 
time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. (Jude 18.) 

b. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of 
his own house, be hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 
(I Tim. 5:8.) 

c. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye de- 
vour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: there- 
fore ye shall receive the greater damnation. (Mat. 23:14.) 

d. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the 
knowledge of the truth. (I Tim. 2:4.) 



e. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now 
the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their en- 
chantments. (Ex. 7:11.) 

f. And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth 
lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man and upon beast. 
(Ex. 8:18.) And the magicians could not stand before Moses because 
of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the 
Egyptians. (Ex. 9:11.) 

g. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou 
shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of 
faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. (I Tim. 4:6.) 
And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to 
the church in thy house (2). Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in 
the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord (20). But withal prepare me 
also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given 
unto you. (Philemon 2:20, 22.) 

h. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with 
envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, con- 
tradicting and blaspheming. (Acts 13:45.) 

i. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made 
their minds evil affected against the brethren. (Acts 14:2.) 

j. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth 
him out of them all. (Ps. 34:19.) 

k. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, 
because they are not of the world, .even as I am not of the world. 
(Jno. 17:14.) Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them 
to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation 
enter into the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22.) 

1. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not 
greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also per- 
secute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 
(Jno. 15:20.) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not des- 
troyed. (II Cor. 4:9.) 

m. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against 
thee. (Ps. 119:11.) But these are written, that ye might believe that 
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have 
life through his name. (Jno. 20:31.) 

n. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any 
private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the 
will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy 
Ghost, (II Pet. 1:20, 21.)

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO 



TITUS 



XOTE. — Paul's letter to Titus was written in the year 66 A. D., while the author was in Macedonia, and addressed to Titus in the island of 
Crete, and was written on the general subject of the work of the ministry, which Paul felt especially nec-sssiry at this time, as manv corrupt elements were 
creeping into the church at Crete, of which Titus had charge. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 For what end Titus was left in Crete. 6 How 
they that are to be chosen ministers ought 
to be qualified. 

1 Paul, 1 a servant of God, and an apostle of 
Jesus Christ, according to the faith of : God's 
elect, Q and the acknowledging of the truth 
which is 6 after godliness; 

2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that 
cannot lie, promised before c the world began; 

3 But hath in due times manifested his 
word through preaching, which is committed 
unto me ^according to the commandment of 
God our Saviour ; 

4 To Ti'tus, mine own son after the com- 
mon faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God 
the Father and the Lord Je'sus Christ our 
Saviour. 

5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that 
thou shouldest set in order the things that are 
wanting, and ""ordain eiders in every city, as 
I had appointed thee: 

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one 
wife, having faithful children not accused of 
riot or unruly. 

7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the 
steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, 
r'not given to wine, no striker, not given to 
filthy lucre; 

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good 
men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 

9 Holding ^'fast the faithful word as he hath 
been taught, that he may be able by sound 
doctrine both to exhort and to convince the 
gainsayers. 

10 For there are many unruly and vain 
talkers and deceivers, specially A they of the 
^circumcision : 

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who 
subvert 'whole houses, teaching things which 
they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 

12 One of themselves, even a prophet of 
their own, said, The Cre'ti-ans are alway liars, 
evil beasts, slow bellies. 

13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke 
them sharply, that they may be sound in the 
faith ; 

14 Xot giving heed to Jew'ish fables, and 
commandments -'of men, that turn from the 
truth. 



Ch. 1. A. D. 65. 



1. In eh. 1 the apostle states for 
what purpose Titus was left in Crete. 
He warns Titus of the gainsayers, 
who should be reproved. 



2. The faith by which the Chris- 
tian is able to hold fast to the love 

of God. 



The Jews. 



4. For wages. 



5. Purity can be seen in all things 
if the eye will only search for it as 
it generally searches for the impure. 
God makes nothing impure — only man 
and Satan make the impurities. 



Ch. 2. A. D. 65. 



1. In ch. 2 the apostle gives spe- 
cial directions to Titus, admonishes 
him regarding the different treatment 
of various classes of believers, and 
tells that the grace of God in Christ 
should be the great incentive to all 
to live Godly lives. 



2. Vigilant, 
tively careful. 



considerate, conserva- 



3. That is. self-mastery or control 
of all the appetites and passions. 



4. Vilify, to revile, to speak evil 
of. to implicate as impious, to impute 
evil to the character of God. 



5. Keeping back dishonestly or de- 
ceitfully: misappropriating. 



15 Unto the 5 pure all things are pure: but 
unto them that are defiled and unbelieving 
is nothing pure; but even their mind and con- 
science is defiled. 

16 They A 'profess that they know God; but 
in works they deny him, being abominable, 
and disobedient, and unto every good work 
reprobate. 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 Directions given unto Titus both for his doc- 
trine and life. 9 Of the duty of servants, 
and in general of ail Christians. 

1 But J speak thou the things which become 
"sound doctrine : 

2 That the aged men be : sober, grave, "tem- 
perate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 

3 6 The aged women likewise, that they be in 
behaviour as becometh holiness, not false ac- 
cusers, not given to much wine, teachers of 
good things; 

4 That they may teach the young women to 
be sober, to love their husbands, to love their 
children, 

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, 
good, obedient to their own husbands, that the 
word of God be not "blasphemed. 

6 Young men likewise exhort to be 2 sober 
minded. 

7 In c all things shewing thyself a pattern 
of good works : in doctrine shewing uncorrupt- 
ness, gravity, sincerity, 

8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; 
^that he that is of the contrary part may be 
ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 

9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their 
owti masters, and to please them well in all 
things; not answering again; 

10 Not "purloining, but shewing all good 
fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of 
God our Saviour in all things. 

11 For the grace of God that bringeth sal- 
vation r hath appeared to all men, 

12 Teaching us that, ^denying ungodliness 
and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, 
righteously, and godly, in this present world;. 

13 Looking for that blessed #hope, and the 
glorious appearing of the ''great God and our 
Saviour Je'sus Christ; 

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might 



Eef. Titus. Chapter 1. 

a. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves: if God 
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the 
truth. (II Tim. 2:25.) 

b. It" any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome 
words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine 
which is according to godliness. (I Tim. 6:3.) 

c. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not 
according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, 
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. (II Tim. 
1:9.) 

d. But the Lord said unto him. Go thy way: for he is a chosen 
vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and 
the children of Israel. (Acts 9:15.) 

e. And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and 
had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom 
they believed. (Acts 14:23.) 

f. Do tot drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with 
thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: 
it shall be a statute for ever throughout vour generations. (Lev. 
10:9.) 

g. Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put 
away, concerning faith have made shipwreck. (I Tim. 1:19.) Hold 
fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith 
and love which is in Christ Jesus. (II Tim. 1:13.) Therefore, breth- 
ren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, 
whether by word, or our epistle. (II Thess. 2:15.) 

h. And certain men which came down from Judea taught the 
brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of 
'•annot be saved. (Acts 15:1.) 

i. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour 
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye 
shall receive the greater damnation. (Mat. 23:11.) 



j. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the 
commandments of men. (Mat. 15:9.) 

k. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit 
before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not 
do them: for with their mouth they show much love, hut their heart 
goeth after their covetousness. (Ez. 33:31.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome 
words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine 
which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but 
doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, 
strife, railings, evil surmisings. (I Tim. 6:3, 4.) 

b. Whose adbrning let it not be that outward adorning of plait- 
ing the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not cor- 
ruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in 
the sight of God of great price. (I Pet. 3:3, 4.) 

c. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, hut being en- 
samples to the flock. (I Pet. 5:3.) 

d. Also I said. It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk 
in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our 
enemies? (Neh. 5:9.) 

e. That was the true Light, which Hghteth every man that 
cometh into the world. (Jno. 1:9.) 

f. That he would grant unto us. that we. being delivered out of 
the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, In holiness 
and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. (Lu. 1:74. 75.) 

g. And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, 
that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and 
unjust. (Acts 24:15.) 

h. To Timothv, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, 
from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. (II Tim. 1:2.) Paul,

15 These things speak, and exhort, and re- 
buke with all authority. Let no man despise 
thee. 

CHAPTER 3. 

1 Titus is further directed by Paul both con- 
cerning the tilings he should teach, and not 
leach. 10 He is willed also to reject ob- 
stinate heretics. 

1 'Put them in mind to be : subject to prin- 
cipalities and powers, to obey magistrates, "to 
be ready to every good work, 

2 6 To speak evil of no man, to be no 
brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness 
unto all men. 

3 For we ourselves also were sometimes 
foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers 
lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, 
hateful, and hating one another. 

4 But after that the kindness and love of 
God our Saviour toward man appeared, 

5 Not 'by "works of righteousness which we 
have done, but according to his mercy he saved 
us, ^by the washing of Regeneration, and re- 
newing of the H5'ly Ghost; 

6 Which r he shed on us abundantly through 
Je'sus Christ our Saviour; 



Ch. 3. A. D. 65. 



1. In ch. 3 the apostle instructs 
Titus how to teach Christians regard- 
ing their behavior toward the world, 
embracing both the things they 
should do and should not do. 



2. Willingly obey. 



3. Not a result springing from any 
righteousness of theirs. 



4. (i) Baptism, the visible or ex- 
ternal symbol of regeneration; (2) 
a symbolical act of obedience to the 
command of Jehovah. 



5. One who follows his own will 
regardless of the teachings of Christ. 



7 That being justified by his grace, we 
should be made heirs according to the hope of 
eternal life. 

8 This is a faithful saying, and these things 
I will that thou affirm constantly, that they 
which have believed in God might be careful 
to maintain good works. These things are 
good and profitable unto men.

a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained 
like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our 
Saviour Jesus Christ. (II Pet. 1:1.) 

i. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the 
eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your con- 
science from dead works to serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14.) Now 
therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, 
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all 
the earth is mine. (Ex. 19:5.) For thou art an holy people unto the 
Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people 
unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth. (Dt. 14:2.) 
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a 
peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who 
hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. (I Pet. 2:9.) 
In whom also we r/ave obtained an inheritance, being predestinated 
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the 
counsel of his own will. (Eph. 1:11.) But if we walk in the light, 
as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the 
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (I Jno. 1:7.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working 
in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; 
to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Heb. 13:21.) 

b. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they 
not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? (Js. 4:1.) 

c. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justi- 
fied in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin (Rom. 3:20.) 

d. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto 
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God 
(3). Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be 



born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of 
God. (Jno. 3:3, 5.) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also 
now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the 
answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus 
Christ. (I Pet. 3:21.) 

e. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 
(Jno. 1:16.) 

f. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which min- 
ister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 
(I Tim. 1:4.) But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that 
they do gender strifes. (II Tim. 2:23.) 

g. I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the 
second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore 
have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare. 
(II Cor. 13:2.) 

h. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from 
such turn away. (II Tim. 3:5.) And if he shall neglect to hear them, 
tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him 
be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. (Mat. 18:17.) 

i. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary 
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing 
ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, 
lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46.) 

j. And a certain Jew named Apollos, boVn at Alexandria, an elo- 
quent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. (Acts 18:24.) 

k. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that 
ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord 
Jesus Christ. (II Pet. 1:8.) 

1. Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, 
- working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to 
give to him that needeth. (Eph. 4:28.) 



THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO 

PHILEMON 



S'OTE. — Paul's letter to Philemon (a member of the church at Colosse. Asia Minor) was written in the year 63 A. D., while Paul was in prison at 
Borne, the general subject being freedom and brotherhood in Christ. The occasion of the letter was that Onesimus, a slave of Philemon's, had escaped 
and gone to Rome, where he was converted to the Christian religion and naturally sought Paul. After learning his history. Paul induced him to go back 
to Philemon and wrote this letter for him to take with him. In it the apostle urges Philemon to receive Onesimus as a brother in Christ and not as a 
slave, and to grant him his freedom. The letter therefore becomes one of the strongest appeals made by PauL 



4 He rejoiceth to hear of the faith and love of 
Philemon, 9 tvhom he desireth to forgive 
his servant Onesimus. 

1 Paul, a prisoner a of Je'sus Christ, and 
Tim'o-thy our brother, unto Phi-le'mon our 
dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 

2 And to our beloved Ap'phi-a, and Ar- 
chip'pus our fellowsoldier, and to the church 
in thy house: 

3 Grace 6 to you, and peace, from God our 
Father and the Lord Je'sus Christ. 

4 T thank my God, making mention of thee 
always in my prayers, 

. 5 Hearing of d thy love and 3 faith, which 
thou hast toward the Lord Je'sus, and toward 
all saints; 

6 That the communication of thy faith may 
become effectual 'by the acknowledging of 
every good thing which is in you in Christ 
Je'sus. 

7 For we have great joy and consolation in 
thy love, because the bowels of the saints ''are 
refreshed by thee, brother. 

8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold 
in Christ to enjoin thee that which is con- 
venient, 

9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, 
being such an one as Paul the aged, and now 
also a' prisoner of Je'sus Christ. 

10 T beseech thee for my son O-nes'i-mus, 
whom I have begotten in my bonds: 

11 Which in time past was to thee unprofit- 
able, but now profitable to thee and to me: 

12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore 
receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 



A. D. 64. 



1. Observe the appropriateness of 
Paul calling himself a prisoner or 
Dondsman of Christ in a letter where 
he pleads the cause of a bondslave. 



2. In vs. 4-7 the apostle Paul 
makes an appeal to the richness of 
Philemon's Christian character to im- 
press upon him that now is the op- 
portunity of making a positive dem- 
onstration of the effects of such a 
character as his. 



3. Firm and earnest trust and con- 
fident reliance in the statements and 
the promises of Christ, "the substance 
of things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



4. In vs. 10-21 the apostle makes 
the request of Philemon that he re- 
ceive Onesimus with kindness and 
Christian consideration. 



5. By theft or any unlawful man- 
ner, as he had doubtless confessed to 
Paul he had. 



6. As Philemon is indebted to Paul 
for his own Christian character, he 
should now grant the request he 
makes of him. 



7. By heart, i. e.. gratify my feel- 
ings by granting this request. 



13 Whom I would have retained with me, 
that in -'thy stead he might have ministered 
unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 

14 But without thy mind would I do noth- 
ing; ''that thy benefit should not be as it were 
of necessity, but willingly. 

15 For 'perhaps he therefore departed for a 
season, that thou shouldest receive him for 
ever ; 

16 Not now as a servant, but above a serv- 
ant, J& brother beloved, specially to me, but 
how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, 
and in the Lord? 

IT If thou count me therefore a partner, 
receive him as myself. 

18 If he hath wronged 5 thee, or oweth thee 
ought, put that on mine account; 

19 I Paul have written it with mine own 
hand,. I will repay it: albeit I do not say to 
thee how thou 6 owest unto me even thine own 
self besides. 

20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in 
the Lord: refresh my T bowels in the Lord. 

21 Having ''confidence in thy obedience I 
wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also 
do more than I say. 

22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: 
for I 'trust that through your prayers I shall 
be given unto you. 

23 There salute thee Ep'a-phras, my fellow- 
prisoner in Christ Je'sus; 

24 '"Mar'cus, Ar-is-tar'chus, De'mas, Lu'cas, 
my fellowlabourers. 

25 The grace of our Lord Je'sus Christ be, 
with your spirit. Amen. 



Ref. Philemon. 

a. I therefore, the prisoner of tae Lord, beseech you that ye walk 
worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. (Eph. 4:1.) But we 
know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully. (I Tim. 1:8.) 

b. And say to Archhippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou 
hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. (Col. 4:1/.) 

c. We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of 
you in our prayers. (I Thess. 1:2.) 

d. "Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, 
and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making 
mention of you in my prayers. (Eph. 1:15, 16.) 

e. And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more 
in knowledge and in all judgment. (Phil. 1:9.) 

f. Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceed- 
ingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was 
refreshed by you all. (II Cor. 7:13.) 

g. Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not 
regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. (Phil. 
2:30.) 



h. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him 
give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 
(II Cor. 9:7.) 

i. And we know that all things work together for good to them 
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 
(Rom. 8:28.) 

j. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, 
because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are 
faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and 
exhort. (I Tim. 6:2.) 

k. I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things. 
(II Cor. 7:16.) 

1. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and con- 
tinue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith. (Phil. 1:25.) 

m. And' when he had considered the thing, he came to the house 
of Marv the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many 
were gathered together praying (12). And Barnabas and Saul returned 
from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with 
them John, whose surname was Mark. (Acts 12:12, 25.)

THE EPISTLE TO THE 

HEBREWS 



NOTE. — The letter to the Hebrews was written between 50 and 64 A. D. on the general subject of the new covenant of Christ. As to the author, 
there are four opinions, viz., (1) that Paul was the author, which is the most generally accepted opinion; (2) a composite authorship, one of the authors being 
Paul, the others unknown; (3) an author other than Paul, although unknown; (4) suspended judgment of those unable to arrive at any conclusion. The general de- 
sign of the letter was to furnish instructions to the church to further the true character of their faith; the author therefore undertakes to prove the superiority of 
the Christian religion to all other faiths, that thereby its converts may be retained. Throughout the letter the author continues to suggest that salvation is not 
altogether in the future but that it is a present good as well. He would have his readers get a true insight into the nature and worth of the Christian religion 
that they might the better fortify themselves against temptations. Another purpose of the author is to prove that no religion can be satisfactory which does not 
establish an intimate relation betweeu God and man. 



CHAPTER 1. 

1 Christ in these last times coming to us from, 
the Father, 4 is preferred above the angels, 
both in person and office; 

1 'God, who at sundry names and in a divers 
manners spake in time past unto the fathers 
by the prophets, 

2 Hath 6 in these last days Spoken unto c us 
by his Son, fl whom he hath appointed heir of 
all things, e by whom also he made the worlds; 

3 Who being ''the brightness of his glory, 
and the express image of his person, and 
^upholding all things by the word of his power, 
when he had by himself purged our sins, ''sat 
down on the right hand of the Majesty on 
high; 

4 Being made so much better than the an- 
gels, as 'he hath by inheritance obtained a 
more excellent name than they. 

5 3 For unto which of the angels said he at 
any time, -'Thou art my son, this day have 1 
begotten thee? And again, ; T will be to him 
a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 

6 And again, when he bringeth in 'the Hirst- 
begotten into the world, he saith, And let all 
the angels of God worship him. 

7 And of the angels he saith, who maketh 
his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of 
fire. 

8 But unto the Son he saith, "'Thy throne, 
God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of 
righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated 
iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, "hath 
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above 
thy fellows. 

10 And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast 
laid the foundation of the earth; and the heav- 
ens are the works of thine hands: 

11 They shall 5 perish; but thou remainest; 
and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, 
and they shall be changed: but thou art the 
same, and thy years shall not fail. 

13 But to which of the angels said he at any 
time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine 
enemies thy footstool? 

14 Are 6 they not 7 all ministering spirits, 



Ch, 1. A. D. 64, 



1. In ch. 1 the author declares that 
the highest of all revelations is given 
us in the Son of God, who, having 
completed redemption, sits enthroned 
at God's right hand. , 



2. At many times; all revelations 
were not given at once, but through- 
out many periods. 



3. In vs. 5-14 the author proves 
the transcendent greatness of Christ 
over angels and all things else. 



4. That is, from the beginning, 
therefore the eternally begotten. 



5. That is, the heavens and the 
earth. They shall not be annihilated 
any more than the world was anni- 
hilated after the flood. 



6. The angels. 



7. From the lowest to the highest 
rank — therefore all. 



Ch. 2. A. D. 64. 



1. In this ch., Paul declares that 
all salvation is of Christ, he having 
put all things in subjection to him 
for a time. He was humbled below 
the angels, which was a divine neces- 
sity, that our salvation from sin 
might be made perfect. 



2. In view of or because of the 
facts of eh. 1. 



3. The revelations and visions of 
God were given through the instru- 
mentality of angels. 



4. That is. at the beginning of the 
new dispensation. 



5. David in the 8th Psalm. 

6. As things are now. 
T. Christ. 



sent forth to minister for them who shall be 
heirs of salvation? 

CHAPTER 2. 
1 We ought to be obedient to Christ Jesus, 5 and 
that because he vouchsafed to take our na- 
ture upon him. 

1 'Therefore ive ought to give the more 
earnest heed to the things which we have 
heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 

2 For if the word spoken by 3 angels was 
stedfast, and every transgression and disobedi- 
ence received a just recompence of reward; 

3 How shall we esoape, if we neglect so 
"great salvation; which at the 4 first began to 
be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed 
unto us by them that heard him; 

4 God also bearing them witness, both with 
signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, 
and gifts of the Ho 'ly Ghdst, according to his 
own will? 

5 For unto the angels hath he not put in 
subjection the world to come, whereof we 
speak. 

6 But one 5 in a certain place testified, say- 
ing, 6 What is man, that thou art mindful of 
him? or the son of man, that thou visitest 
him? 

7 Thou madest him a little lower than the 
angels; thou crownedst him with glory and 
honour, and didst set him over the works of 
thy hands: 

8 Thou hast put all things in subjection 
under his feet. For in that he put all in sub- 
jection under him, he left nothing that is not 
put under him. But 6 now we see not yet all 
things put under him. 

9 But we see Je'§us, who was made a little 
lower than the angels for the suffering of 
death, crowned with glory and honour; that 
he by the grace of God should taste death 
for every man. 

10 For c it became him, for whom are all 
things, and by whom are all things, in bring- 
ing many sons unto glory, to make the captain 
of their salvation ^perfect through sufferings. 

11 For both 'he that sanctifieth and they 
who are sanctified are all of one: for which 
cause e he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 



Ref. Hebrews. Chapter 1. 

a. If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself 
known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream (6). 
With him [Moses] will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, aDd 
not in dark speeches; and a similitude of the Lord shall he behold. 
(Num. 12:6, 8.) 

b. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his 
Son, made of a woman, made under the law. (Gal. 4:4.) 

c. For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by 
Jesus Christ. (Jno. 1:17.) 

d. Ask of me, and I shal' give thee the heathen for thine inher- 
itance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Ps. 
2:8.) The Father lo'veth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 
(Jno. 3:35.) 

e. All things were made by him; and without him was not any 
thing made that was made. (Jno. 1:3.) But to us there is bnt one 
God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord 
Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (I Cor. 8:6.) 

f. Awake, sword, against my Shepherd, and against the man 
that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 13:7.) He that hath 
seen me hath seen the Father. (Jno. 14:9.) 

g. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (Jno. 1:4.) 
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for 
thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were 
created. (Rev. 4:11.) 

h. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until 
I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) 

i. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a 
name which is above every name. (Phil. 2:9.) 

j. God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he 
hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, 
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. (Acts 13:33.) 

k. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. (II Sam. 7:14.) 



He shall cry unto, me, Thou art my Father, my God, and the Rock of 
my salvation. Also I will make him my first-born, higher than the 
kings of the earth. (Ps. 89:26, 27.) 

1. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be con- 
formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among 
many brethren. (Rom. 8:29.) 

m. Thy throne, God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy 
kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wick- 
edness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of glad- 
ness above thy fellows. (Ps. 45:6, 7.) 

n. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to 
bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and 
the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Is. 61:1.) 

o. ' Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth; and the 
heavens are the work of thv hands. (Ps. 102:25.) 

Chapter 2. 

a.. But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salva- 
tion: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. (Is. 
45:17.) 

b. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, 
that thou visitest him? (Ps. 8:4.) 

c. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to ente'r 
into his glory? (26). And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus 
it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day. 
(Lu. 24:26, 46.) 

d. And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for 
thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. (Mat. 3:15.) Though he 
were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered: 
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto 
all them that obey him. (Heb. 5:8, 9.) 

e. Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my 
Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. (Jno. 20:17.)

12 Saying, ^1 s will declare thy name unto 
my brethren, in the midst of the church will 
I sing praise unto thee. 

13 And again, si will put my trust in him. 
And again, Behold I and the children which 
God hath given me. 

14 Forasmuch then as the children are par- 
takers of flesh and blood, he ''also himself 
likewise took part of the same; that through 
death he might destroy him that had the 
"power of death, that is, the devil; 

15 And deliver them who through *fear of 
death were all their lifetime subject to bond- 
age. 

16 For verily he took not on him the nature 
of angels; but he took on him the seed of 
A'bra-ham. 

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him 
to be made like unto "his brethren, that he 
might be a merciful and faithful high priest 
in things pertaining' to God, •'to make recon- 
ciliation for the sins of the people. 

18 For in that he himself hath suffered 
being tempted, he is able to succour them that 
are tempted. 

CHAPTER 3. 
Christ is more worthy than Moses. 

1 ^Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of 
the heavenly calling, consider Q the Apostle and 
High Priest of our profession, Christ Je'§us; 

2 Who was faithful to him that appointed 
him, as also Mo'§e§ was faithful in all his 
house. 

3 For this man was counted worthy of more 
glory than M6'§e§, inasmuch as 6 he who hath 
builded the house hath more honour than the 
house. 

4 For every house is builded by some man; 
but c he that built all things is God. 

5 And M6'§e§ verily was faithful in all his 
house, as a servant, d for a testimony of those 
things which were to be spoken after; 

6 But Christ as a son over his own house; 
whose e house are we, ^if we hold fast the con- 
fidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto 
the end. 

7 'Wherefore (as the ?H5'ly Ghost saith, To 
day if ye will hear his voice, 

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provoca- 
tion, in the day of temptation in the "wilder- 
ness: 

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved 
me, and saw my works 5 forty years. 

10 Wherefore I was grieved with that "gen- 
eration, and said, They do alway err in their 
heart; and they have not known my ways. 

11 So T sware in my wrath, They shall not 
enter into my rest.) 



S. Christ, the Messiah. 



The church. 



10. Not death, but the power 
through sin of introducing death. 



11. In birth, affliction and death. 
Ch. 3. A. D. 64. 



1. In ch. 3 the writer declares that 
Christ, the Son of God, will be greater 
than Moses; therefore unbelief or dis- 
obedience toward him will incur a 
greater punishment than unbelief in 
the time of Moses. 



2. The only instance where the 
word "holy" is applied to brethren, 
and is here used under the new dis- 
pensation, probably to imply that the 
believing Christians, whether Jew or 
Gentile, are as holy unto the Lord as 
Israel was under the old dispensation. 



3. In vs. 7-11 the author presents 
the failure and sin of Israel as a 
warning to the church of to-day. 



5. The perversity of the Israelites 
in the wilderness. 



6. The generation of the 40 years 
of v. 9. 



7. In vs. 12-15 the author makes 
application to the present day of Is- 
rael's sad example. 



S. In vs. 16-19 the author declared 
that it was unbelievers who caused 
the failure of the Israelites, therefore 
the church to-dav should be fearful 
of unbelief — keep clear of its baneful 
influence. 



9. The Israelites. 

10. Of sin. 



11. Active unbelief, embracing dis- 
obedience; not merely the act of be- 
lief. 



Ch. 4. A. D. 64. 



1. In this ch. the promise of rest 
iu God is declared to be fully realized 
through Christ, therefore we should 
strive to obtain it through him as our 
high priest. 



2. God, through David. 



12 7 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any 
of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing 
from the living God. 

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is 
called To day; lest any of you be hardened 
through the deceitfulness of sin. 

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if 
we hold the beginning of our confidence sted- 
fast unto the end; 

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear 
his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the 
provocation. 

16 Tor ''some, when they had heard, did pro- 
voke: howbeit not all that came out of E'gypt 
by M6'§e§. 

17 But with °whom was he grieved forty 
years? was it not with them that had sinned, 
whose carcases fell in the '"wilderness? 

18 And to whom sware he that they should 
not enter into his rest, but to them that be- 
lieved not? 

19 So we see that they could not enter in 
because of "unbelief. 

CHAPTER 4. 
The rest of Christians is attained by faith. 

1 ""Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise be- 
ing left us of entering into his rest, any of 
you should seem to come short of it. 

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as 
well as unto them: but the word preached did 
not profit them, not being mixed with faith in 
them that heard it. 

3 For we which have believed do enter into 
rest, as he said, "As I have sworn in my 
wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: al- 
though the works were finished from the foun- 
dation of the world. 

4 For he spake in a certain place of the 
seventh day on this wise, And God 6 did rest 
the seventh day from all his works. 

5 And in this place again, If they shall 
enter into my rest. 

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some 
must enter therein, and c they to whom it was 
first preached entered not in because of un- 
belief : 

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying 
in 2 Da'vid, To day, after so long a time; as it 
is said, <*To day if ye will hear his voice, 
harden not your hearts. 

8 For if Je'§us had given them rest, then 
would he not afterward have spoken of an- 
other day. 

9 There remaineth therefore a e rest to the 
people of God. 

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he 
also hath ceased from his own works, as God 
did from his. 



f. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the 
congregation -will I praise thee. (Ps. 22:22.) 

g. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, in 
whom I will trust. (Ps. 18:2.) Behold. God is my salvation: I will 
trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength. (Is. 
12:2.) 

h. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through 
the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, 
and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. (Rom. 8:3.) 

i. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and 
of love, and of a sound mind. (II Tim. 1:7.) 

j. And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, 
but also for the sins of the whole world. (I Jno. 2:2.) Herein is love, 
not that we love God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the 
propitiation for our sins. (I Jno. 4:10.) Seventy weeks are determined 
upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, 
and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, 
and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and 
prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. (Dan. 9:24.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 
(Mat. 15:24.) Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the 
truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. (Rom. 
15:8.) 

b. Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall go 
up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. (Zech. 
6:12.) Upon this rock I will build my church. (Mat. 16:18.) 

c. We are bis workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good 
works. (Eph. 2:10.) God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. 
(Eph. 3:9.) 

d. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like 
unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak 



unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, 
that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak 
in my name, I will require it of him. (Dt. 18:1S, 19.) 

e. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, 
for the edifying of the body of Christ. (Eph. 4:12.) Ye also, as lively 
stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up 
spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 2:5.) 

f. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he 
that endureth to the end shall be saved. (Mat. 10:22.) 

g. The Spirit of the Lord spake by me [David] and his word was 
in my tongue. (II Sam. 23:2.) This scripture must needs have been 
fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of David, spake. (Acts 
1:16.) 

h. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and 
against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them. Would 
God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died 
in this wilderness! (2). And they said one to another, Let us make 
a captain, and let us return into Egypt. (Num. 14:2, 4.) 

Chapter 4. 

a. Unto whom I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter 
into my rest. (Ps. 95:11.) 

b. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had 
made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had 
made. (Gen. 2:2.) In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and 
on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. (Ex. 31:17.) 

e. So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. 
(Heb. 3:19.) 

d. Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, as in the 
provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness. (Ps. 
95:7, 8.) 

e. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall 
stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and

11 Let us labour 'therefore to enter into 
that rest, lest any man fall after the same 
example of unbelief. 

12 For the Vord of God is ''quick, and 
powerful, and sharper than any 5 twoedged 
"sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder 
of soul and spirit, and of the joints and mar- 
row, and is a discerner of the thoughts and 
intents of the heart. 

13 Neither is there any creature that is not 
manifest in his sight: but all things are naked 
and opened unto the eyes of him with whom 
we have to do. 

14 Seeing then that we have a great high 
priest, that is passed into the heavens, Je'sus 
the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 

15 For %e have not an high priest which 
cannot be touched with the feeling of our in- 
firmities; but 'was in all points tempted like 
as we are, ■'yet without sin. 

16 Let us therefore "come boldly unto the 
T throne of grace, that we may s obtain mercy, 
and find ''grace to help in time of need. 

CHAPTER 5. 
Authority and honour of our Saviour's priest- 
hood. 

1 For 'every high priest taken from among 
men is ordained 2 for men in things pertaining 
to God, "that he may offer both gifts and 
sacrifices for sins: 

2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, 
and on them that are out of the way; for that 
he himself also is compassed = with infirmity. 

3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the 
people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 

4 And 6 no man taketh this honour unto him- 
self, but he that is called of God, as c was 
4 Aar'on. 

5 So d also Christ glorified not himself to be 
made an high priest; but he that said unto 
him, e Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten 
thee. , 

6 As he saith also in another place, ''Thou 
art a priest for ever after the order of s Mel- 
chis'e-dec. 

7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had 
"offered up prayers and supplications ''with 
strong crying and tears unto him 'that was 
able to save him from death, and was heard 
in that he feared; 

8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he 
obedience by the things which he suffered; 



3. Because of the maimer it is to 
be done through Christ; as he labored 
so, let us labor. 

4. Let us be active because of the 
power of the world, which is the 
reason expressed by "for." 

5. That is, typifying its cutting 
ability. 

6. Without fear — with confident 
trust. 

7. To which .we have access 
through Christ our high priest. 

8. Because of our past sins. 

9. To assist in present trials. 
Ch. 5. A. D. 64. 

1. In ch. 5 the author declares 
that, to be an effectual priest, our 
high priests must have all needed 
qualifications as a man. and that 
Christ is a priest after the order of 
Melchisedec. 

2. Stands for or acts for men. 

3. That is, encircled or surrounded 
with temptations as we are. 

4. The first in the order of high 
priests and was elected directly by 
the voice of God. 

5. The first New Testament men- 
tion of this primeval priest-king. 

6. The revelations of God. 

7. Spiritually weak and unsteady. 

8. Of habit. 

Ch. 6. A. D. 64. 

1. In ch. 6 the author warns the 
church against sluggishness and en- 
courages them to steadfastness to 
God and faithfulness to his word. 

2. The first principles or begin- 
nings of Christianity. 

3. While in the old dispensation, 
under the ritual there were many il- 
lustrations or types, they have all 
been merged into one under the new 
dispensation — viz., baptism, (a) the 
outward symbol of inward regenera- 
tion or cleansing; (b) a symbolical 
act of obedience to the command of 
God. 

4. The going on to Christian per- 
fection. 

5. Grant the necessary grace or 
power. 

6. Not that they have already 
fallen, but the author wishes to warn 
them by stating the result if they 
should fall. 

7. Instead of crucifying the world, 
they would trample under foot and 
crucify the Son of God. 

8. Bring into public disrepute, as 
a malefactor. 



9 And being made perfect, he became the 
author of eternal salvation unto all them that 
obey him; 

10 Called of God an high priest after the 
order of Mel-chis/e-dec. 

11 Of whom we have many things to say, 
and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of 
hearing. 

12 For when for the time ye ought to be 
teachers, ye have need that one teach you 
again which be the first principles of the 
"oracles of God; and are become such as have 
need of miik, and not of strong meat. 

13 For every one that useth milk is unskil- 
ful in the word of righteousness : for he is a 
7 babe. 

14 But strong meat belongeth to them that 
are of full age, even those who by reason of 
s use have their senses exercised to discern 
both good and evil. 

CHAPTER 6. 
He exhorteth not to fall back from the faith. 

1 'Therefore leaving the ^principles of the 
doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfec- 
tion; not laying again the foundation of re- 
pentance from dead works, and of faith toward 
God, 

2 Of the "doctrine of 'baptisms, 6 and of lay- 
ing on of hands, and of resurrection of the 
dead, c arid of eternal judgment. 

3 And this 4 will we do, if God 6 permit. 

4 For it is impossible for d those who were 
once enlightened, and have tasted of c the heav- 
enly gift, and were made partakers of the 
Ho'ly Ghost, 

5 And have tasted the good word of God, 
and the powers of the world to come, 

6 If "they shall fall away, to renew them 
again unto repentance; 'seeing they crucify to 
7 themselves the Son of God afresh, and put 
him to an open s shame. 

7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain 
that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth 
herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, 
receiveth blessing from God: 

8 But that which beareth thorns and briers 
is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose 
end is to be burned. 

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better 
things of you, and things that accompany 
salvation, though we thus speak. 



his rest shall be glorious. (Is. 11:10.) I will feed them in a good 
pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: 
there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they 
feed upon the mountains of Israel. (Ez. 34:14.) The Lord thy God in 
the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee 
with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing. 
(Zeph. 3:17.) These are they which came out of great tribulation, and 
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the 
Lamb. (Rev. 7:14.) 

f. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow 
of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his 
quiver hath he hid me. (Is. 49:2.) Is not my word like as a fire? 
saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 
(Jer. 23:29.) 

g. And he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth 
went a sharp two-edged sword. (Rev. 1:16.) 

h. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and 
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he 
was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Is. 53:3.) 

i. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 
(Lu. 22:28.) 

j. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy 
holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and 
to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting right- 
eousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the 
Most Holy. (Dan. 9:24.) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who 
knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 
(II Cor. 5:21.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. Every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: where- 
fore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For 
if he were on earth he should not be a priest, seeing that there are 
priests that offer gifts according to the law. (Heh. 8:3, 4.) 

b. It appertaineth not unto thee, TJzziph, to burn incense unto the 
Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to 
burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed: 
neither shall it be for thine honor from the Lord God. (II Chr. 26:18.) 
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be 
given him from heaven. (Jno. 3:27.) 



c. Take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, 
from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in 
the priest's office. (Ex. 28:1.) 

d. If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: It is my Father that 
honoreth me: of whom ye say, that he is your God. (Jno. 8:54.) God 
hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised 
up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm. (Acts 13:33.) 

e. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art 
my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Ps. 2:7.) 

f. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for 
ever after the order of Melchizedek. (Ps. 110:4.) 

g. [Jesus] lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the 
hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee. 
(Jno. 17:1.) 

h. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken, me? why art thou 
so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? (Ps. 22:1.) 

i. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he 
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? (Mat. 
26:53.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying 
unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come 
after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. (Acts 19:4.) 

b. Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, 
they laid their hands on them. (Acts 6:6.) 

c. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus 
Christ according to my gospel. (Rom. 2:16.) 

d. Many will say to me in that day, Lord. Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in 
thy name done many wonderful works? (Mat. 7:22.) Call to remem- 
brance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured 
a great fight of afflictions. (Heb. 10:32.) 

e. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of 
God, and who it is that sa ; th to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest 
have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. (Jno. 
4:10.) 

f. Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought 
worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted 
the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy 
thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Heb. 10:29.)

A. D. 64 



10 f'For God is not unrighteous to forget 
your work and labour of love, which ye have 
shewed toward his name, in that ye have min- 
istered to the saints, and do minister. 

11 And we desire that every one of you do 
shew the same diligence to ''the full assurance 
of hope unto the end: 

12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of 
'them who through faith and patience inherit 
the promises. 

13 ''For when God made promise to A'bra- 
ham, because he could swear by no greater, 
■'he sware 10 by himself, 

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, 
and multiplying I will multiply thee. 

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, 
he obtained the promise. 

16 For men verily swear by the greater: 
and an oath for confirmation is to them an 
end of all strife. 

17 Wherein God, willing 7i 'more abundantly 
to shew unto the heirs of promise 'the immuta- 
bility of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 

18 That by two immutable things, in which 
it was impossible for God to lie, we might 
have a strong consolation, who have fled for 
refuge to lay hold upon the hope '"set be- 
fore us: 

19 Which "hope we have as an anchor of 
the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which en- 
tereth into that within the "vail; 

20 Whither the forerunner is for us en- 
tered, even Je'§us, made an high priest for 
ever after the order of Mel-chi§'e-dec. 

CHAPTER 7. 

Christ Jesus is a priest after the order of 

Melchisedec. 

1 For this Mel-chis'e-dec, king of Sa'lem, 
priest of the most "high God, who met A'bra- 
ham returning from the slaughter of the kings, 
and blessed him; 

2 To whom also A'bra-ham gave a 2 tenth 
part of all; first being by interpretation King 
of righteousness, and after that also 3 King of 
Sa'lem, which is, King of peace; 

3 Without father, "without mother, without 
descent, having neither beginning of 'days, nor 
end of life; but made like unto the Son of 
God; abideth a priest continually. 

4 Now consider how great this man was, 
unto whom even the patriarch A'bra-ham gave 
the tenth of the spoils. 

5 And verily a they that are of the sons of 



9. In vs. 13-20 the pledge and oath 
ot God stand as th"e basis of our as- 
surance if we remain steadfast in ac- 
tive faith. 



10. Swear by himself, for there 
were none others by whom he could 
swear. (Gen. 22:16, 17) — "By my- 
self haTe I sworn, saith the Lord, 
That in blessing I will bless thee." 



11. An allusion to the veil of the 
temple before the holy of holies. 



Ch. 7. A. D. 64. 



1. Is used only in the New Tes- 
tament as a title of God to distin- 
guish or to contrast him. the God of 
Melchisedec. with the gods of the 
heathen nations around. 



2. The booty or prizes of war. 



3. That is. his name means King 
of Righteousness. In Hebrew "Mal- 
chi" means "ting," "Tzedec" means 
"righteousness;" therefore the word 
means, by interpretation. King of 
Righteousness. 



4. That is. they are not known. 



5. By not knowing his parents, he 
has no beginning or ending of days. 



8. Pedigree or genealogy. 



7. The Levitical priesthood. 



S. After the order of Melchisedec. 



9. A repealing. 



10. As the law could not bring 
men to perfect justification, it was 
called weak. 



11. That is, the law was intro- 
ductory to its ante-type, the Chris- 
tian eeoifoniy. w-hieh wrought all 
things unto perfection. 



Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, 
have a commandment to take tithes of the 
people according to the law, that is, of their 
brethren, though they come out of the loins of 
A'bra-ham: 

6 But he whose "descent is not counted from 
them received tithes of A'bra-ham, and blessed 
''him that had the promises. 

7 And without all contradiction the less is 
blessed of the better. 

8 And here 7 men that die receive tithes; but 
there s he receiveth them, c of whom it is wit- 
nessed that he liveth. 

9 And as I may so say, Le'vialso, who re- 
ceiveth tithes, payed tithes in A'bra-ham. 

10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, 
when Mel-chis/e-dec met him. 

11 d If therefore perfection were by the Le- 
vit'i-cal priesthood, (for under it the people 
received the law,) what further need was 
there that another priest should rise after the 
order of Mel-chis/e-dec, and not be called after 
the order of Aar'on? 

12 For the priesthood being changed, there 
is made of necessity a change also of the law. 

13 For he of whom these things are spoken 
pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man 
gave attendance at the altar. 

14 For it is evident that e our Lord sprang 
out of Ju'da; of which tribe Mo'§es spake 
nothing concerning priesthood. 

15 And it is yet far more evident: for that 
after the similitude of Mel-chis'e-dec there 
ariseth another priest, 

16 Who is made, not after the law of a 
carnal commandment, but after the power of 
an endless life. 

17 For he testifieth, ^Thou art a priest for 
ever after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec. 

18 For there is verily a "disannulling of the 
commandment going before for #the '"weakness 
and unprofitableness thereof. 

19 For ''the law made "nothing perfect, but 
the bringing in of a better hope did; by the 
which 'we draw nigh unto God. 

20 And inasmuch as not without an oath 
he was made priest: 

21 (For those priests were made without an 
oath; but this with an oath by him that said 
unto him, The Lord sware and will not re- 
pent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order 
of Mel-chis'e-dec : ) 

22 By so much was Je'sus made a surety 
^'of a better testament. 



g. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I 
send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent 
me. (Jno. 13:20.) 

h. That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in 
love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding. (Col. 
2:2.) 

i. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will 
of God, ye might receive the promise. (Heb. 10:36.) 

j. By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, That in blessing I will 
bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of 
the heaven, and as the sand w-hich is upon the sea shore. (Gen. 22:16, 17.) 

k. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange 
countrj', dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with 
him of the same promise. (Heb. 11:9.) 

1. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. (Rom. 
11:29.) 

m. Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great 
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which 
doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is 
set before us. (Heb. 12:1.) 

n. Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, 
and with him is plenteous redemption. (Ps. 130:7.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an 
inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of 
the tabernacle of the congregation. (Num. 18:21.) 

b. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was 
not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the right- 
eousness of faith. (Rom. 4:13.) Now to Abraham and his seed were 
the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as 
of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. (Gal 3:16.) 

c. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever, 
after the order of Melchisedec. (Heb. 5:6.) 

d. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come 
by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Gal. 2:21.) 

e. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from 
between his feet, until Shiloh come. (Gen. 49:10.) And there shall 
come forth a rod out- of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow 



out of his roots. (Is. 11:1.) Which was the son of Aminadab, which 
was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son 
of Phares, which was the son of Juda. (Lu. 3:33.) And one of the 
elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda 
the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the 
seven seals thereof. (Rev. 5:5.) 

f. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest 
for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (Ps. 110:4.) 

g. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through 
the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and 
for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. (Rom. 8:3.) 

h. And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from 
which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:39.) 
Knowing 'hat a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by 
the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that 
we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of 
the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (Gal. 
2:16.) Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were 
offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the 
service perfect, as pertaining to . the conscience. (Heb. 9:9.) For the 
law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image 
of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year 
by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (Heb. 10:1.) 
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his 
sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (Rom. 3:20.) What shall 
we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin 
but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, 
Thou shalt not covet. (Rom. 7:7.) Is the law then against the promises 
of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could 
have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law (21). 
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that 
we might be justified by faith. (Gal. 3:21:24.) 

i. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we 
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Rom. 5:2.) For 
through him we both have access bv one Spirit unto the Father. (Eph. 
2:18.) 

j. Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress 
me. (Ps. 119:122.) Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter; I did

23 And they truly were many priests, be- 
cause they were not suffered to continue by 
reason of death: 

24 But this man, because he A 'continueth 
ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 

25 Wherefore he is able also to save them 
to the 12 uttermost that come unto God by 13 him, 
seeing he ever liveth 'to make intercession 
for them. 

26 For such an high priest became us, who 
is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from 
sinners, '"and made higher than the heavens; 

27 Who needeth not daily, as those high 
priests, to offer up sacrifice, "first for his own 
oins, °and then for the people's: for this he 
did once, when he offered up himself. 

28 For the law maketh Pmen high priests 
which have infirmity; but the word of the 
oath, which was since the law, maketh the 
Son, who is ^consecrated for evermore. 

CHAPTER 8. 

By the eternal priesthood of Christ the Leviti- 

cal priesthood of Aaron is abolished. 

1 a Now of the things which we have spoken 
this is the 2 sum: We have such an high priest, 
who a is set on the right hand of the throne of 
the Majesty in the heavens; 

2 A minister of the 3 sanctuary, and of the 
true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and 
not man. 

3 For every high priest is ordained to offer 
gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is 6 of neces- 
sity that this man have somewhat also Ho offer. 

4 For if he were on earth, he should not 
be a priest, seeing that there are priests that 
offer gifts according to the law: 

5 Who serve unto the example and shadow 
of heavenly things, as Mo'ses. was admonished 
of God when he was about to make the taber- 
nacle: c for, See, saith he, that thou make all 
things according to the pattern shewed thee 
in the mount. 

6 But now hath he obtained a more Excel- 
lent ministry, by how much also he is the 
"mediator d of a better 'covenant, which was 
established upon better promises. 

7 For if that first covenant had been fault- 



perfectly, abso- 



12. Altogether, 
lutely. 



13. By faith. 



Ch. 8. A. D. 64. 

1. In eh. S Christ, our high priest 
in the sanctuary of heaven, super- 
sedes the Levitical priesthood and 
renders the order of things in the old 
dispensation obsolete, and the new 
covenant in Christ Jesus takes its 
plac> 

2. The principal point, the chief. 



3. The holy of holies in the heav- 
enly sanctuary. 

4. He, Christ, made the offer once 
for us all-, himself. 

5. Heavenly, therefore more ex- 
cellent than an earthly minister. 

6. Interceding for us at the right 
baud of God. Through mercy for us 
he carries into effect God's covenant 
with us. 



7. The gospel covenant of grace. 

8. Thus the 10 tribes, as well as 
Judah, shall all share in the new 
covenant. 

9. That is, he visited retributive 
justice upon them. 

10. Have to teach. 
Ch. 9. A. D. 64. 

1. In ch. 9, the old covenant of 
types and symbols is declared to be 
inferior to the means of access to 
God through the new covenant. 
Christ, the head of the new cove- 
nant, had come and offered himself 
in death for us. hence the blood of 
bulls and goats is of no further 
value. 

2. The sacred ark or chest. 



3. The decalogue, sometimes called 
testimony, or the table of command- 
ments. 



less, then should no place have been sought 
for the second. 

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, 
'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when 
I will make a fnew covenant with the house 
of s is'ra-el and with the house of Ju'dah: 

9 Not according to the covenant that I made 
with their fathers in the day when I took them 
by the hand to lead them out of the land of 
E'gypt; because they continued not in my cov- 
enant, and I "regarded them not, saith the 
Lord. 

10 For this is the covenant that I will make 
with the house of Is'ra-el after those days, 
saith the Lord; #1 will put my laws into their 
mind, and write them in their hearts: and I 
will be to them a God, and they shall be to 
me a people: 

11 And ''they shall 10 not teach every man his 
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, 
Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from 
the least to the greatest. 

12 For I will be merciful to their unright- 
eousness, and their sins and their iniquities 
will I remember no more. 

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he 
hath made the first old. Now that which de- 
cayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish 
away. 

CHAPTER 9. 
1 The description of the rites and bloody sac- 
rifices of the law, 11 far inferior to the 
dignity and perfection of the blood and sac- 
rifice of Christ. 

1 x Then verily the first covenant had also 
ordinances of divine service, and a worldly 
sanctuary. 

2 For "there was a tabernacle made; the 
first, wherein was the candlestick, and the 
table, and the shewbread; which is called the 
sanctuary. 

3 And 6 after the second vail, the tabernacle 
which is called the Holiest of all; 

4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark 
of 2 the covenant overlaid round about with 
gold, wherein was c the golden pot that had 
manna, and <*Aar'on's rod that budded, and 
c the tables of the ^covenant; 



mourn as a dove: mine eyes failed with looking upward: Lord, I am 
oppressed; undertake for me. (Is. 38:14.) 

k. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no 
end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and 
to estaL.ish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even 
for ever. (Is. 9:7.) Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concern- 
ins; the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 
(Rom. 9:5.) 

1. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, 
that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also 
maketh intercession for us. (Rom. 8:34.) If any man sin, we have an 
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (I Jno. 2:1.) 

m. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above 
all heavens, that he might fill all things. (Eph. 4:10.) 

b. And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering which is 
for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, 
and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself. (Lev. 
16:11.) 

o. Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the 
people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with that blood as 
he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy- 
seat, and before the mereyseat. (Lev. 16:15.) 

p. Every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men 
in things pertaining to God, Who can have compassion on the ignorant, 
and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is com- 
passed with infirmity. (Heb. 5:1, 2.) 

q. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are 
all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of 
their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Heb. 2:10.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are 
above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (Col. 3:1.) 

b. Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given him- 
self for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor. 
(Eph. 5:2.) 

e. And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was 
shown thee in the mount. (Ex. 25:40.) 

d. By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 
(Heb. 7:22.) And for this cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, 
that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that 
were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the 
promise of eternal inheritance. (Heb. 9:15.) And to Jesus the Mediator 
of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh bet- 
ter things than that of Abel. (Heb. 12:24.) Likewise also the cup after 



supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is 
shed for you. (Lu. 22:20.) 

e. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new 
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; Not 
according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day 
that I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; 
which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, 
saith the Lord; But this shall be the covenant that I will make with 
the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law 
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their 
God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every 
man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying. Know the Lord: 
for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of 
them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will re- 
member their sin no more. (Jer. 31:31-34.) 

f. And for this cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, that 
by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were 
under the first testament, they which are called might receive the 
promise of eternal inheritance. (Heb. 9:15.) And to Jesus the Mediator 
of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh bet- 
ter things than that of Abel. (Heb. 12:24.) Who also hath made us 
able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: 
for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (II Cor. 3:6.) 

g. They shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be' 
my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. 
(Zech. 8:8.) 

h. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall 
be the peace of thy children. (Is. 54:13.) 
Chapter 9. 

a. Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of 
fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of 
cunning work shalt thou make them. (Ex. 26:1.) 

b. And thou sbalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover 
the ark with the veil. (Ex. 40:3.) 

c. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full 
of "manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your 
generations. As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before 
the Testimony, to be kept. (Ex. 16:33, 34.) . 

d. And the Lord said unto Moses. Bring Aaron's rod again before 
the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt 
quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. (Num. 
17:10.) 

e. And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall 
give thee. (Ex. 25:16.)

5 And ''over it the 4 cherubim of glory shad- 
owing the 5 mercyseat; of which we cannot 
now speak particularly. 

6 Now when these things were thus or- 
dained, #the priests went always into the first 
tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 

7 But into the "second went the high priest 
alone ''once every year, not without blood, 
which he offered for himself, and for the er- 
rors of the people: 

8 The 'Ho'ly Ghost this signifying, that the 
-'way into the holiest of all was not yet made 
manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet 
standing: 

9 Which was a 7 figure for the time then 
present, in which were offered both gifts and 
sacrifices, that could not make him that did 
the service perfect, as pertaining to the con- 
science; 

10 Which stood only in ^meats and drinks, 
and divers washings, z and carnal ordinances, 
imposed on them until the time of reforma- 
tion. 

11 s But Christ being come an high priest of 
good things to come, by a greater and more 
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that 
is to say, not of this building; 

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, 
but by his own blood he entered in once into 
the holy place, having '"obtained eternal re- 
demption for us. 

13 For if "the blood of bulls and of goats, 
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the un- 
clean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh : 

14 How much more, ^shall the blood of 
Christ, °who through the eternal Spirit 'iof- 
fered himself without spot to God, purge your 
'conscience from s dead works to serve the liv- 
ing God? 

15 °And *for this cause he is the "mediator 
of the new testament, that "by means of death, 
for the redemption of the transgressions that 
were under the first testament, they which 
are called might receive the promise of eter- 
nal inheritance. 

16 For where a testament is, there must 
also of necessity be the death of the testator. 

17 For v a "testament is of force after men 
are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all 
while the testator liveth. 

18 Whereupon ^'neither the first testament 
was dedicated without blood. 



4. A symbolical figure represent- 
ing the ruling power of Jehovah. 



5. The footstool of Jehovah, and 
the place upon which was sprinkled 
the propitiatory blood on the day of 
Atonement. 



6. Holy of holies. 



7. As parable set forth the figure 
of the reality yet to come in Christ. 



8. In vs. 11-14 is an account of 
Christ offering himself to make an 
atonement for us. 



9. Vs. 15-18, the death of Christ, 
our high priest, converts the new cov- 
enant into a last will and testament. 



10. Christ, through his death, be- 
comes our mediator, transmitting the 
mercy of God to us through his death. 



11. By bequest or will. 



12. The seal of the bequest or -will. 



Ch, 10. A. D. 64. 



1. In ch. 10 is a conclusion cl the 
argument in ch. 9. In view of the 
self -offering of Christ made for us 
rnce for all, the yearly offering of 
sacrifices can be of no service to us. 
Instead of the daily ministry of the 
Levitical priests. Christ sitteth at the 
right hand of God ever making inter- 
cession for us. 



2. A feeble representation, a shad- 
owy outline. 



19 For when Mo'§e§ had spoken every pre- 
cept to all the people according to the law, he 
took the blood of calves and of goats, ^with 
water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and 
sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 

20 Saying, '/This is the 12 blood of the testa- 
ment which God hath enjoined unto you. 

21 Moreover z he sprinkled with blood both 
the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the min- 
istry. 

22 And almost all things are by the law 
purged with blood; and without aa shedding of 
blood is no remission. 

23 It was therefore necessary that the pat- 
terns of things in the heavens should be puri- 
fied with these; but the heavenly things them- 
selves with better sacrifices than these. 

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy 
places made with hands, which are the figures 
of the true; but into heaven itself, now 6h to 
appear in the presence of God for us : 

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself 
often, as the high priest entereth into the holy 
place every year with blood of others; 

26 For then must he often have suffered 
since the foundation of the world: but now 
once cc in the end of the world hath he ap- 
peared to put away sin by the sacrifice of 
himself. 

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to 
die, but after this the judgment: 

28 So dd Christ was once offered to bear the 
sins of many; and unto them that look for 
him shall he appear the cc second time without 
sin unto salvation. 

CHAPTER 10. 

1 The weakness of the law sacrifices. 10 The 
sacrifice of Christ's body once offered, 14 
for ever hath taken away sins. 

1 For ^he law having °a 2 shadow of good 
things to come, and not the very image of the 
things, can never with those sacrifices which 
they offered year by year continually make 
the comers thereunto perfect. 

2 For then would they not have ceased to 
be offered? because that the worshippers once 
purged should have had no more conscience of 
sins. 

3 6 But in those sacrifices there is a remem- 
brance again made of sins every year. 



f. And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, 
that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil before 
the mercyseat, which is upon the ark, that he die not: for I w.ll appear 
in the cloud upon the mercyseat. (Lev. 16:2.) 

g. And -thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by 
fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord; two lambs of the first year 

"without spot, day by d?.y, for a continual burnt offering. (Num. 28:3.) 

h. And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once 
in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements; once in the 
year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it 
is most holy unto the Lord. (Ex. 30:10.) 

i. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by 
the blood of Jesus. (Heb. 10:19.) 

j. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: 
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (Jno. 14:6.) 

k. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteous- 
ness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 14:17.) 

1. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of com- 
lrandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain 
one new man, so making peace. (Eph. 2:15.) 

m. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy 
holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and 
to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteous- 
' ess, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most 
I'oly. (Dan. 9:24.) 

n. And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it 
v'th his finger upon the mercyseat eastward; and before the mercyseat 
shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. (Lev. 16:14.) 

o. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the 
Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. (Rom. 1:4.) 

p. But if we walk in 4.he light, as he is in the light, we have fel- 
lowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son 
cleanseth us from all sin. (I Jno. 1:7.) 

q. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together 
with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). (Eph. 2:5.) 

r. Who being the brightness of his glory, and- the express image 
of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when 
he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the 
Majesty on high. (Heb. 1:3.) 

s. Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us 



go on unto perfection; not laying aga'n the foundation of repentance 
from dead works, and of faith toward Gcd. (Heb. 6:1.) 

t. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, 
the man Christ Jesus. (I Tim. 2:5.) 

u. Finally, be ye all' of one mind, having compassion one of an- 
other, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. (I Pet. 3:8.) 

v. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but 
a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannullelu, or 
addeth thereto. (Gal. 3:15.) 

w. And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half 
of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. (Ex. 24:6.) 

x. Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be 
cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and 
hyssop. (Lev. 14:4.) 

y. For this is my blood of ihe new testament, which is shed for 
many for the remission of sins. (Mat. 26:28.) 

z. And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon 
the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the 
bottom of the altar. (Ex. 29:12.) 

aa. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to 
you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the 
blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (Lev. 17:11.) 

bb. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin 
not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus 
Christ the righteous. (I Jno. 2:1.) 

cc. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the un- 
just, that he might bring us to God. being put to death in the flesh, 
but quickened by the Spirit. (I Pet. 3:18.) 

dd. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he 
liveth, he liveth unto God. (Rom. 6:10.) 

ee. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and 
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (Jno. 
14:3.) 

Chapter 10. 

a. Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 
(Col. 2:17.) 

b. And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live 
goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, 
and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the 
head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man 
into the wilderness. (Lev. 16:21.)

102: 



4 For c it is not possible that the blood of 
bulls and of goats should take away sins. 

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, 
he saith, ^Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest 
not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 

6 In burnt ^offerings and sacrifices for sin 
thou hast had tio pleasure. 

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of 
the book : it is written of me,) to do thy will, 
O God. 

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offer- 
ing and burnt offerings and offering for sin 
thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure 
therein; which are offered by the law; 

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, 
God. He taketh away the first, that he may 
establish the second. 

10 By the which will we are sanctified 
^through the -'offering of the body of Je'sus 
Christ once for all. 

11 And every priest standeth ''daily minis- 
tering and offering oftentimes the same sacri- 
fices, which can never take away sins: 

12 But 'this man, after he had offered one 
sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the 
right hand of God; 

13 From henceforth expecting •'till his ene- 
mies be made his footstool. 

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for 
ever them that are sanctified. 

15 Whereof *'the HoTy Ghost also is a wit- 
ness to us: for after that he had said before, 

16 This 'is the covenant that I will make 
with them after those days, saith the Lord, I 
will put my laws into their hearts, and in 
their minds will I write them; 

17 And their sins and iniquities will I re- 
member no more. 

18 Now where remission of these is, there 
is no more offering for sin. 

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to 
enter into the holiest by the blood of Je'sus, 

20 By '"a new and living way, which he hath 
consecrated for us, through the vail, that is 
to say, his flesh; 



3. Vs. 5-1S. by Christ's submitting ' 
to the demands made by heaTen. the 
complete and decisive atonement has 
been made for us. 



-t. Burnt sacrifices, as the complete 
atonement. 



5. Alluding to the 40th Psalm. 



6. Through the atoning blood of 
Christ. 



7. Let us understand that the 
proper association of one with another 
has the power to arouse love. 



S. If we continue to sin against 
the pleadings and persuasions of 
Christ. 



9. The living or consuming fire of 
divine retribution. 



10. As common or unworthy. 



11. For chastisement. 



21 And having an high priest over "the 
house of God; 

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in 
full assurance 6 of faith, having our hearts 

sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our 
bodies washed with pure water. 

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our 
faith without wavering; (for he is faithful 
that promised;) 

24 And let us consider one another to pro- 
voke unto love and to good works: 

25 Xot forsaking the assembling of our- 
selves together, as the manner of some is; but 
exhorting one another : and - D so much the more, 
as ye see ^the day approaching. 

26 For ''if we sin s wilfully *after that we 
have received the knowledge of the truth, there 
remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 

27 But a certain fearful looking for of 
judgment and f fiery indignation, which shall 
devour the "adversaries. 

28 He that despised Al5'ses' law died with- 
out mercy under two of three witnesses: 

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose 
ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trod- 
den under foot the Son of God, and hath 
'counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith 
he was sanctified, an unholy "thing, r and hath 
done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 

30 For we know him that hath said, Ven- 
geance " ,r belongeth unto me, I will recompense, 
saith the Lord. And again, ^The Lord shall 
judge his people. 

31 It -"is a fearful thing to "fall into the 
hands of the living God. 

32 But : call to remembrance the former 
lays, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye 
endured M a great fight of afflictions; 

33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazing- 
stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and 
partly, whilst &6 ye became companions of them 
that were so used. 

34 For ye had compassion of me in my 
bonds, and rc took joyfully the spoiling of your 



c. Wherewith shail I come before the Lord, and bow myself before 
the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves 
of a year old? (Mic. 6:6.) 

d. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine^ears hast thou 
opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. (Ps. 
10:6.) 

e. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be 
sanctified through the truth. (Jno. 17:19.) 

f. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water 
by the word. (Eph. 5:26.) And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that 
they also might be sanctified through the truth. (Jno. 17:19.) 

g. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, 
first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, 
when he offered up himself. (Heb. 7:27.) How much more shall the 
blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without 
spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living 
(jod: fl4). So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many: and 
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without 
sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:14, 2S.) And walk in love, as Christ also 
hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice 
to God for a sweet-smelling saver. (Eph. 5:2.) I am the living bread 
which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall 
live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will 
give for the life of the world. (Jno. 6:51.) 

h. And thou shall say unto them, This is the offering made by fire 
which ye shall offer unto the Lord; two lambs of the first year without 
spot, day by day, for a continual burnt offering. (Xum. 2S:3.) 

i. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are 
'above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (Col. 3:1.) 

j. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until 
I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) 

k. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but 
holv men of God spake as thev were moved bv the Holv Ghost. (II 
Pet. 1:21.) 

I. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house 
of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their 
inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and 
they shall be my people. (Jer. 31:33.) 

m. Jesus saith unto him. I am the way, and the truth, and the 
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (Jno. 14:6.) 

n. But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest 
to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living 
God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (I Tim. 3:15.) 

o. And to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the 
hlcod of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (Heb. 
12:24.1 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through 
sanctifieation of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood 
of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (I Pet. 1:2.) 
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from 



all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. (Ez. 
36:25.) Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse 
ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness 
in the fear of God. (II Cor. 7:1.) 

p. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast 
off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (Rom. 
13:12.) 

q. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men 
count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any 
should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of 
the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens 
shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with 
fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be 
burnt up. (II Pet. 3:9, 10.) 

r. But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be 
born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and 
that soul shall be cut on from among his people. (Num. 15:30.) And 
therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because 
he had done these things on the sabbath day. (Jno. 5:16.) 

s. But chiefly them that walk after the fiesh in the lust of unclean- 
ness. and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they 
are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. (H Pet. 2:10.) 

t. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my 
jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against 
all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with 
the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a 
prey. (Ez. 36:5.) 

u. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh. 
damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (I Cor. 11:29.) 

v. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy 
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 
shall not be forgiven unto men. (Mat. 12:31.) 

w. To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall 
slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the 
things that shall come upon them make haste. (Dt. 32:35.) 

x. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that 
he may judge his people. (Ps. 50:4.) 

y. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which 
after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, 
Fear him. (Lu. 12:5.) 

z. Have ye suffered so manv things in vain? if it be vet in vain. 
(Gal 3:4.) 

aa. For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and 
for them at Laodicea, and for as manv as have not seen my face in the 
flesh. (Col. 2:1.) 

bb. Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I 
have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the de- 
fence and confirmation of the Gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. 
(Phil. 1:7.) 

cc. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in

goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in 
heaven a better and an enduring substance. 

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, 
which hath great recompence of reward. 

36 For ye have need of patience, that, after 
ye have done the will of God, ye ^might re- 
ceive the promise. 

37 For fC yet a little while, and he ff that 
shall come will come, and will not tarry. 

38 Now the just shall live by "faith: but if 
any man draw back, my soul shall have no 
pleasure in him. 

39 But we are not of them who draw back 
unto perdition; but of them that believe to 
the saving of the soul. 

CHAPTER 11. 

1 What faith is. 6 Without faith we cannot 

please God. 

1 a Now faith is the substance of things 
hoped for, the evidence a of things not seen. 

2 For by it the elders obtained a good re- 
port. 

3 Through 2 faith we understand that the 
worlds 6 were framed by the word of God, so 
that things which are seen were not made of 
things which do_ appear. 

4" By faith <A'bel offered unto God a more 
'excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he ob- 
tained witness that he was righteous, God 
testifying of his gifts : and by it he being dead 
yet speaketh. 

5 By 5 faith ^E'noch was translated that he 
should not see death; and was not found, be- 
cause God had translated him: for before his 
translation he had this testimony, that he 
pleased God. 

6 But ^without B faith it Is impossible to 
please him: for he that cometh to God must 
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder 
of them that diligently seek him. 

7 By 5 faith fNo'ah, being warned of God of 
things not seen as yet, moved with fear, pre- 
pared an ark to the saving of his house; by 
the which he condemned the world, and became 
heir of #the righteousness which is by faith. 

8 By 5 faith A 'bra-ham, when he was called 
to go out into a place which he should after 
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he 
went out, not knowing whither he went. 



12. A firm and earnest trust and 
confident reliance in the statements 
and promises of Christ, "the sub- 
stance of things hoped for, the evi- 
dence of things not seen." 



Ch. 11. A. D. 64. 



1. In ch. 11 the writer defines the 
faith he would have us possess and 
gives many examples of it's power to 
keep, even under the old covenant. 



2. Firm and earnest trust and con- 
fident reliance in the statements and 
promises of Christ, "the substance of 
things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



3. Because he met all the re- 
quirements, offering both the first- 
lings of his flock and the first fruita 
of the field; while Cain offered only 
the one, seemingly not thinking it 
necessary to make the complete sac- 
rifice as commanded of Jehovah — thus 
presenting only a thank offering, 
proudly refusing the propitiatory of- 
fering for sin. 



4. Transplanted, taken to heaven 
without death. 



5. A firm and earnest tfust and 
confident reliance in the statements 
and promises of God, "the substance 
of things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



6. That is, of them. 



9 By r 'faith he sojourned in the land of 
promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in 
''tabernacles with I'§aac and Ja'cob, the heirs 
with him of the same promise: 

10 For he looked for a city which hath 
foundations, 'whose builder and maker is God. 

11 Through "faith also Sa'ra herself received 
strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of 
a child when she was past age, because she 
judged him faithful who had promised. 

12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and 
■'him as good as dead, so many as the stars of 
the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is 
by the sea shore innumerable. 

13 These all died in 5 faith, not having re- 
ceived the promises, but having seen them afar 
off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced 
them, and ^'confessed that they were strangers 
and pilgrims on the earth. 

14 For they that say such things declare 
plainly that they seek a country. 

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of 
that country from whence they came out, they 
might have had opportunity to have returned. 

16 But now they desire a better country, 
that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not 
"ashamed ? to be called their God: for m he hath 
prepared for them a city. 

17 By "faith A 'bra-ham, when he was tried, 
offered up I'saac: and he that had received 
the promises offered "up his only begotten son, 

18 Of whom it was said, That in I'saac 
shall thy seed be called: 

19 Accounting that God was able to raise 
him up, even from the dead; from whence also 
he received him in a figure. 

20 By 5 faith °l'§aac blessed Ja'cob and E'sau 
concerning things to come. 

21 By = faith Ja'cob, when he was a dying, 
blessed ^both the sons of Jo'§eph; and wor- 
shipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 

22 By 5 faith 9Jo'§eph, when he died, made 
mention of the departing of the children of 
Is'ra-el; and gave commandment concerning 
his bones. 

23 By 5 f aith Mo'ses, when he was Jborn, was 
hid three months of his parents, because they 
saw he was a proper child; and they were not 
afraid of the king's ^commandment. 

24 By 5 faith Mo'§e§, when he was come to 



heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 
(Mat. 5:12.) 

dd. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the 
inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (Col. 3:24.) 

ee. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when 
the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Lu. 18:8.) 

ff. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it 
shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will 
surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is 
not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. (Hab. 2:3, 4.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for 
what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? (Rom. 8:24.) While we 
look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not 
seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which 
are not seen are eternal. (II Cor. 4:18.) For we walk by faith, not by 
sight. (II Cor. 5:7.) 

b. All things were made by him; and without him was not any 
thing made that was made. (Jno. 1:3.) 

c. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the 
fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was 
very wroth, and his countenance fell. (Gen. 4:4, 5.) 

d. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And 
Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, 
and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three 
hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he 
was not; for God took him. (Gen. 5:21-24.) There is no end of all the 
people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come 
after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation 
of spirit. (Ecc. 4:16.) Two are better than one; because they have a 
good reward for their labor (9). For out of prison he cometh to reign; 
whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. (Ecc. 
4:9, 14.) 

e. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that 
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth 
on him. (Jno. 3:36.) 

f. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; 
for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will 
destroy them with the earth. (Gen. 6:13.) 

g. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ 
unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference. 
(Rom. 3:22.) These are- the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man 



and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. (Gen. 6:9.) 
Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should 
deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God 
(14). Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the 
Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but 
deliver their own souls by their righteousness. (Ez. 14:14, 20.) For the 
promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, 
or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 
(Rom. 4:13.) 

h. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of 
Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west,, and Hai on 
the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon 
the name of the Lord. (Gen. 12:8.) 

i. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from 
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Rev. 
21:2.) 

j. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body 
now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the 
deadness ot Sara's womb. (Rom. 4:19.) 

k. And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pil- 
grimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days 
of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of 
the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. 
(Gen. 47:9.) 

1. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto 
the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abra- 
ham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: 
this is my name for ever, and this my memorial unto all generations. 
(Ex. 3:15.) 

m. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we looked 
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Phil. 3:20.) 

n. Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had 
offered Isaac his son upon the altar? (Js. 2:21.) 

o. And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell 
of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is 
as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed. (Gen. 27:27.) 

p. And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born 
unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are 
mine: as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. (Gen. 48:5.) 

q. And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God 
will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. (Gen. 
50:25.) 

r. And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew

years, refused to be called the son of Pha'- 
raoh's daughter; 

25 Choosing s rather to suffer affliction with 
the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures 
of sin for a season; 

26 Esteeming the reproach ofChrist great- 
er riches than the treasures in E'gypt: for he 
had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 

27 By 5 faith he 'forsook E'gypt, not fearing 
the wrath of the king: for he endured, as 
seeing him who is invisible. 

28 Through 5 faith "he kept the 7 passover, 
and the sprinkling of blood, lest *he that des- 
troyed the firstborn should touch them. 

29 By 3 faith "they passed through the Red 
sea as by dry land: which the 10 E-gyp'tian§ 
assaying to do were drowned. 

30 By 5 faith l the walls of Jer'i-chd fell 
down, after they were compassed about seven 
days. 

31 By 'faith nhe harlot Ra'hab perished 
not with them that believed not, when she had 
received the spies with peace. 

32 And what shall I more say? for the time 
would fail me to tell of ^Ged'e-on, and of 
^Ba'rak, and of Sam'son, and of Jeph'tha-e; 
of Da'vid also, and Sam'u-el, and of the 
prophets : 

33 Who through 5 faith subdued kingdoms, 
wrought righteousness, obtained promises, 
stopped ^the mouths of lions, 

34 Quenched the "violence of fire, escaped 
the edge of the sword, out of weakness were 
made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned 
aa to flight the armies of the aliens. 

35 Women received their dead raised to life 
again : and others were tortured, not accepting 
deliverance; that they might obtain a better 
resurrection : 

36 And others had trial of cruel mockings 
and scourgings, yea, moreover, 66 of bonds and 
imprisonment : 

37 They were stoned, they were sawn asun- 
der, were tempted, were slain with the sword: 
they wandered about in sheepskins and goat- 
skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 

38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) 
they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, 
and cc in dens and caves of the earth. 

39 And these all, having obtained a good re- 
port through faith, received not the promise: 



7. The passing of the death angel 
over the Israelite homes when the 
firstborn of the Egyptians were struck 
down. 



8. The destroying angel. 



9. The Israelites. 



10. Attempted to, against the will 
of God. 



11. Alluding to Shadraeh, Me- 
shaeh and Abednego. (Dan. 3.) 



Ch. 12. A. D. 64. 



1. Ch. 12 exhorts the church to 
follow the witnesses mentioned in ch. 
11, to the end of a perfect work and 
not to faint thereby; for we are un- 
der, not the law of terror, but the 
gospel of grace purchased by Christ, 
our elder brother, through whom all 
strength will be given unto us by 
faith. 



2. In vs. 3-17 is a review of the 
past and a hopeful exhortation to 
faithfully endure to the end. 



40 God having provided some better thing 
for us, that they without us should not' be 
(W made perfect. 

CHAPTER 12. 

An exhortation to faith, patience, and godli- 
ness. 

1 therefore seeing we also are compassed 
about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let 
us lay aside every weight, and the sin which 
doth so easily beset us, and let us run with 
patience the race that is set before us, 

2 Looking "unto Je'§us the author and fin- 
isher of our faith; who for the joy that was 
set before him endured the cross, despising 
the shame, and 6 is set down at the right hand 
of the throne of God. 

3 2 For consider him that endured such con- 
tradiction of sinners against himself, lest c ye 
be wearied and faint in your minds. 

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striv- 
ing against sin. 

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation 
which speaketh unto you as unto children, d My 
son, despise not thou the chastening of the 
Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : 

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, 
and scourgeth every son whom he received. 

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with 
you as with sons; for what son is he whom the 
father chasteneth not? 

8 But if ye be without ^chastisement, where- 
of all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and 
not sons. 

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our 
flesh which corrected us, and we gave them 
reverence: shall we not much rather be in 
subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 

10 For they verily for a few days chastened 
us after their own pleasure; but he for our 
profit, that we might be partakers of his 
'holiness. 

11 Now no chastening for the present seem- 
eth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless 
afterward it yieldeth "the peaceable fruit of 
righteousness unto them which are exercised 
thereby. 

12 Wherefore ''lift up the hands which hang 
down, and the feeble knees; 

13 And make straight paths for your feet, 



women, and see them upon the stools, if it be a son, then ye shall kill 
him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. (Ex. 1:16.) 

s. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather 
be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of 
wickedness. (Ps. 84:10.) 

t. And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again 
no more. (Ex. 10:29.) 

u. .Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto 
them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill 
the passover. (Ex. 12:21.) 

v. So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: 
and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, 
and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, 
so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before 
him, and they took the city. (Josh. 6:20.) 

w. Likewise also, was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, 
when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another 
way? (Js. 2:250 

x. And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak 
which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his 
son Gideon threshed wheat by the wine press, to hide it from the Mid- 
ianites. (Jud. 6:11.) 

y. And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Ke- 
desh-naphtali, and said unto him. Hath not the Lord God of Israel 
commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with 
thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children 
of Zebulun? (Jud. 4:6.) 

z. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, 
that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was 
found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. (Dan. 
6:22.) 

aa. And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, 
and his armor-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his 
armor-bearer slew after him. (I Sam. 14:13.) And they stood every 
man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, 
and fled. (Jud. 7:21.) And he smote them hip and thigh with a great 
slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam (8). 
And he found a new jaw bone of an ass, and put forth his hand and 
took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. (Jud. 15:8, 15.) And 
after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and sub- 
dued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the 
Philistines. And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, cast- 



ing them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put 
to death, and with one full line to keep alive: and so the Moabites 
became David's servants, and brought gifts. David smote also Had- 
adezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his 
border at the river Euphrates. And David took from him a thousand 
chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: 
and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for 
an hundred chariots. And when the Syrians of Damascus came to 
succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and 
twenty thousand men. Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: 
and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the 
Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. (II Sam. 8:1-6.) 

bb. And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, 
a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in 
the prison. (Gen. 39:20.) Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jere- 
miah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan 
the scribe; for they had made that the prison. (Jer. 37:15.) 

cc. For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, 
that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a 
cave, and fed them with bread and water. (I Ks. 18:4.) 

dd. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall 
come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from 
Jacob. (Rom. 11:26.) 

Chapter 12. 

a. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of 
the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as 
by the Spirit of the Lord. (II Cor. 3:18.) 

b. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until 
I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Ps. 110:1.) 

c. And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we 
shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:9.) 

d. Behold, happy is the man whom God eorrecteth; therefore de- 
spise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. (Job 5:17.) 

e. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every 
morning. (Ps. 73:14.) 

f. Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and 
say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. 
(Lev. 19:2.) 

g. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that 
make peace. (Js. 3:18.) 

h. Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened 
the weak hands. Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and 
thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. (Job 4:3, 4.)

lest that which is lame be turned out of the 
way; 'but let it rather be healed. 

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, 
-'without which no man shall see the Lord : 

15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of 
the grace of God; lest '''any root of bitterness 
springing up trouble you, and thereby many 
be defiled; 

16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane 
person, as E'sau, who for one morsel of meat 
sold his birthright. 

17 For ye know how that afterward, when 
he would have inherited the blessing, he was 
rejected: for he found no place of repentance, 
though he sought it carefully with tears. 

18 3 For ye are not come unto z the mount that 
might be touched, and that burned with fire, 
nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 

19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the 
voice of words; which voice they that heard 
intreated that '"the word should not be spoken 
to them any more: 

- 20 (For they could not endure that which 
was commanded, And if so much as a beast 
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or 
thrust through with a dart: 

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Mo'-

For if they escaped not who refused him that 
spake 5 on earth, much more shall not we "es- 
cape, if we turn away from him that speaketh 
from heaven: 

26 Whose f voice then shook the earth: but 
now he hath promised, saying, "Yet once more 
I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

the removing of those things that are shaken,

CHAPTER 13. 

1 Divers admonitions, as to charity, 5 to 

avoid covetousness, 10 to confess Christ. 

1 *Let brotherly love continue. 

2 Be "not forgetful to entertain strangers: 
for thereby 6 some have entertained 2 angels un- 
awares. 

3 Remember f 'them that are in bonds, as 
bound with them; and them which suffer ad- 
versity, as being yourselves also in the body. 

4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed 
undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers 
God will judge. 

5 Let your Conversation be without Covet- 
ousness; and be content with such things as 
ye have: for he hath said, d I will never leave 
thee, nor forsake thee. 

6 So that we may boldly say, f The Lord is 
my helper, and I will not fear what man shall 
do unto me. 

7 Remember them which have the rule over 
you, who have spoken unto you the word of 
God: whose faith follow, considering the end 
of their conversation. 

8 Je'sus Christ 'the same yesterday, and to 
day, and for ever. 

9 Be not carried about with divers and 
strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that 
the heart be established with grace; not with 
meats, which have not profited them that have 
been occupied therein. 

10 We #have an altar, whereof they have no 
right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 

11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose 
blood is N brought into the sanctuary by the high 
priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 

12 Wherefore Je'sus also, that he might 
sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered 
''without the gate. 

13 Let us go forth therefore unto him with- 
out the camp, bearing 'his reproach. 

14 For here have we no continuing city, but 
we seek one to come. 

15 By him therefore let us 'offer the sacri- 
fice of praise to God continually, that is, the 
fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 

16 But to do good and to communicate for- 
get not: for with such sacrifices God is well 
pleased. 



i. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spir- 
itual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thy- 
self, lest thou also be tempted. (Gal. 6:1.) 

j. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Mat. 
5:S.) 

k. Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, 
or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, 
to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among 
you a root that beareth gall and wormwood. (Dt. 29:1S.) 

1. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, 
Take heed to yourselves that ye go not up into the mount, or touch 
the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to 
death. (Ex. 19:12.) 

m. And they said unto- Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will 
hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. (Ex. 20:19.) 

n. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of 
us all. (Gal. 4:26.) 

o. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of 
angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. (Ps. 
68:17.) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, 
saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints. (Juds 
14.) 

p. Xot as though I had already attained, either were already per- 
fect; but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also 
I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:12.) 

q. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and 
said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made 
with you concerning all these words. (Ex. 24:8.) Elect according to 
the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the 
Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: 
Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (I Pet. 1:2.) 

r. And he said. What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's 
blood crieth unto me from the ground. (Gen. 4:10.) 

s. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every 
transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward: 
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the 
first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by 
tbfm that heard him? (Heb. 2:2. 3.) 

t. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord 



descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke 
of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. (Ex. 19:1S.) 

u. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, 
and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the 
dry land. (Hag. 2:6.) 

v. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall 
wax old like a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they 
shall be changed. (Ps. 102:26.) Heaven and earth shall pass way, but 
mv words shall not pass away. (Mat. 24:35.) 

Chapter 13. 

a. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and 
ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in. (Mat. 25:35.) 

b. And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass 
not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. (Gen. 18:3.) 

c. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was 
in prison, and ye came unto me. (Mat. 25:36.) 

d. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places 
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land, for I will 
not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 
(Gen. 28:15.) 

e. The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? the 
Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1.) 

f. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you. Before 
Abraham was, I am. (Jno. S:5S.) And as a vesture shalt thou fold 
them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy 
years shall not fail. (Heb. 1:12.) John to the seven churches which 
are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and 
which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which 
are before his throne. (Rev. 1:4.) 

g. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things 
live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are 
partakers with the altar? (I Cor. 9:13.) 

h. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place 
of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew. Golgotha. (Jno. 19:17.) 

i. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the 
Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil 
spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. (I Pet. 4:14.) 

i Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most 
High. (Ps. 50:14.)

THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF 



JAMES 



NOTE. — The Epistle of James, written about the year 61-62 A. D.. while the author was at Jerusalem, on the general subject of Christian Ethics, was 
not addressed to anyone but was intended for general circulation. The author is called "James the Just," as he endeavored to present the Gospel so as 
not to disparage the law, which was so reverenced by the Jews. He was a brother of our Lord but was not thoroughly converted to Christ as the Messiah 
till after the crucifixion and resurrection. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 We are to rejoice under the cross, 5 to ask 
patience of God, 13 and in our trials not 
to impute our weakness, or sins, unto him, 
19 but rather to hearken to the word. 

1 James, "a servant of God and of the Lord 
Je'sus Christ, 6 to the twelve tribes which are 
Scattered abroad, greeting. 

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall 
into divers temptations; 

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your 
faith worketh patience. 

4 But let patience have her perfect work, 
that ye may e be perfect and entire, wanting 
nothing. 

5 d If any of you lack wisdom, ''let him ask 
of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and 
upbraideth not; and ff it shall be given him. 

6 But ''let him ask in ^faith, nothing waver- 
ing. For he that wavereth is like a wave of 
the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 

7 For let not that man think that he shall 
receive any thing of the Lord. 

8 A double miinded man is unstable in all 
his ways. 

9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in 
that he is exalted: 

10 But the rich, in that he is made low: be- 
cause as the flower of the grass he shall pass 
away. 

11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a 
burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and 
the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the 
fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich 
man fade away in his ways. 

12 Blessed *is the man that endureth tempta- 
tion: for when he is tried, he shall 'receive 
J'the crown of life, which the Lord hath prom- 
ised to them that love him. 

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I

1. That is, fully developed in all 
the attributes of a Christian charac- 
ter. It should be observed that 
James begins and ends his epistle 
with faith: in the middle he removes 
all hindrances to faith and reveals its 
true character. 



2. Alluding to a man who asks or 
prays for a thing without belief, as 
his mind is running elsewhere and is 
not attune with his heart in its peti- 
tions to God. 



3. That is. God never lays condi- 
tions upon or before a man which 
make it necessary for him to sin. 



5. That is. the cause of sin is in 
ourselves — our evil inclinations enter- 
tained and developed until they be- 
come passions of lust, producing sin. 



6. The will embracing lust brings 
forth the fruit of sin. 



7. In vs. 22-27 we are told to be 
not only hearers but doers of the 
word. 



8. The law of God. to which per- 
fect obedience brings the greatest de- 
gree of liberty of conscience and of

as the instrument or vocal organ of 
the heart, giving utterance to the 
heart's doings and desires.

ed with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 

14 But every man is tempted, when he is 
drawTi away of his "own lust, and enticed. 

15 Then when lust hath "conceived, it bring- 
eth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, 
bringeth forth death. 

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift 
is from above, and cometh down from the Fa- 
ther of lights, with A "whom is no variableness, 
neither shadow of turning. 

18 Of 'his own will begat he us with the 
word of truth, that we should be a kind of 
firstfruits of his creatures. 

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let 
every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, 
slow T to wrath: 

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the 
righteousness of God. 

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and 
superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with 
meekness the engrafted word, '"which is able 
to save your souls. 

22 7 But be ye doers of the word, and not 
hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 

23 For "if any be a hearer of the word, and 
not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his 
natural face in a glass: 

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his 
way, and straightway forgetteth what manner 
of man he was. 

25 But °whoso looketh into the perfect s law 
of liberty, and continueth therein, he being 
not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, 
this man shall be blessed in his deed. 

26 If any man among you seem to be re- 
ligious, and bridleth mot his tongue, but deceiv- 
eth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

brother. (Gal. 1:19.) 

b. Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day 
and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am 
accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:7.) 

c. And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there 
was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; 
and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and 
Samaria, except the apostles. (Acts 8:1.) 

d. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy 
people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to 
judge 'this thy so great a people? (I Ks. 3:9.) >ea, if thou eriest after 
knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest 
her as silver, and searches! for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou 
understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. (Prov. 
2:3-5.) 

e. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in 
word, the same is a perfect man,- and able also to bridle the whole body. 
(Js. 3:2.) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in 
heaven is perfect. (Mat. 5:48.) Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant 
of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, 
that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. (Col. 
4:12.) And the very God' of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God 
your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the 
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Thess. 5:23.) 

f. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what 
ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (Jno. 15:7.) 

g. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, 
and I will hearken unto you. (Jer. 29:12.) 

h. Therefore I say unto you, What "things soever ye desire, when 
ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mk. 
11:24.) I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, 
without wrath and doubting. (I Tim. 2:8.) 

i. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you 
as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, 
nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. (Heb. 12:5.) As many as I 
love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (Rev. 
i And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer 
it: it is a statute for ever unto the Lord; it shall be wholly burnt. 
(Lev. 6:22.) But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: 
and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled. (I Pet. 3:14.) 
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit 
of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, 
but on your part he is-glorified. (I Pet. 4:14.) 



j. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the 
devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye 
shall have tribulation ten days: be tnou faithful unto death, and I will 
give thee a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10.) 

k. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he 
spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19.) For I am the 
Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Mai. 
3:6.) 

1. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor 
of the will of man, but of God. (Jno. 1:13.) For though ye have ten 
thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in 
Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel. (I Cor. 4:15.) 
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the 
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (I Pet. 1:23.) 

m. Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and who- 
soever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 
(Acts 13:26.) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is 
the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew 
first, and also to the Greek. (Rom. 1:16.) By which also ye are saved, 
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed 
in vain. (I Cor. 15:2.) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the 
word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also, after that 
ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise. (Eph. 
1:13.) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to 
all men. (Tit. 2:11.) 

n. Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth 
them, I will show you to whom he is like. (Lu. 6:47.) 

o. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory 
of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even 
as by the Spirit of the Lord. (II Cor. 3:18.) 

p. And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with 
thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are 
within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the 
Lord thv 'God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou 
doest. (Dt. 14:29.) If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or 
have caused the eyes of the widow to fail. (Job 31:16.) The Lord pre- 
serveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the 
way of the wicked he turneth upside down. (Ps. 146:9.) Wash you, 
make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine 
eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the op- 
pressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow (16, 17). Thy princes 
are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and 
followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the 
cause of the widow come unto them. (Is. 1:16, 17, 23.)

himself unspotted 'from the world. 
CHAPTER 2. 

1 We are not to regard the rich, and to de- 
spise the poor: 13 but rather to be loving, 
and merciful. 

1 My brethren, have not the 'faith of our 
Lord Je'§us Christ, "the Lord of glory, with 
''respect of persons. 

2 For if there come unto your assembly a 
man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and 
there come in also a poor man in vile rai- 
ment; 

3 And ye have respect to him that weareth 
the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou 
here in a good place; and say to the poor, 
Stand thou there, or sit here under my foot- 
stool: 

4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and 
are become judges of evil thoughts? 

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath c not 
God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, 
and heirs of the kingdom d which he hath 
promised to them that love him? 

6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not 
rich men oppress you, and draw you before 
the judgment seats? 

7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name 
by the which ye are called? 

8 Tf ye fulfil the royal law according to the 
scripture, 'Thou shalt love 3 thy neighbour as 
thyself, ye do well : 

9 But if ye have respect *to persons, ye 
commit sin, and are convinced of the law as 
transgressors. 

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, 
and yet offend in one point, he is f guilty of all. 

11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, 
said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no 
adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a 
transgressor of the law. 

12 So speak ye, 'and so do, as they that shall 
be judged by the law of liberty. 

13 For he shall have judgment without 
mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy 
rejoiceth against judgment. 

14 5 What doth it profit, my brethren, though 
a man say he hath faith, and have not works? 
can faith save him? 

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and des- 
titute of daily food, 

16 And one of you say unto them, Depart

1. Which is the Christian's faith. 
St. James here founds Christian char- 
acter on Christian faith. 



2. In vs. 8-13 the author declares 
that, when we break the law in one 
point, we break the 'whole law, for 
by so doing we reject God, who is in- 
separably united with his law, there- 
fore we reject or break the law. 



3. That is, be no respecter of per- 
sons, but unselfishly desire the good 
of all. 



4. If we have respect of persons, 
we violate the law to love all as our- 
selves. 



5. In vs. 14-26 we are told that a 
workless faith is an unjustified faith. 



6. That is, separate from work. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 60. 



1. A full grown, harmoniously pro- 
portioned man morally. 



in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwith- 
standing ye give them not those things which 
are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is 
dead, being alone. 

18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, 
and I have works: shew me thy faith without 
thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by 
my works. 

19 Thou believest that there is one God; 
thou doest well: the devils also believe, and 
tremble. 

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that 
faith with out works is dead? 

21 "Was not A'bra-ham our father justified 
by works, ''when he had offered l'§aac his son 
upon the altar? 

22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his 
works, and by works was faith made perfect? 

23 And the scripture was fulfilled which 
saith, 'A'bra-ham believed God, and it was im- 
puted unto him for righteousness: and he was 
called -'the Friend of God. 

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is 
justified, and not by faith only. 

25 Likewise also ''was not Ra'hab the harlot 
justified by works, when she had received the 
messengers, and had sent them out another 
way? 

26 For as the body without the spirit is 
dead, so faith without works is dead also. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 We are not rashly or arrogantly to reprove 
others: 5 but rather to bridle the tongue. 
13 They who be truly wise be mild, and 
peaceable, without envying and strife. 

1 My brethren, be not many masters, know- 
ing a that we shall receive the greater con- 
demnation. 

2 For 6 in many things we offend all. c If 
any man offend not in word, d the same is a 
'perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole 
body. 

3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, 
that they may obey us; and we turn about 
their whole body. 

4 Behold also the ships, which though they 
be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, 
yet are they turned about with a very small 
helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 

5 Even so the tongue is a little member, 



q. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by 
the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and 
acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Rom. 12:2.) Ye adulterers and 
adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity 
with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the 
enemy of God. (Js. 4:4.) 

r. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship 
of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend 
of the world is the enemy of God. (Js. 4:4.) Teaching us that, denying 
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and 
godly, in this present world. (Tit. 2:12.) Whereby are given unto us 
exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be par- 
takers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in 
the world through lust. (II Pet. 1:4.) For if, after they have escaped 
the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and 
Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, 
the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. (II Pet. 2:20.) 
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, 
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now 
worketh in the children of disobedience. (Eph. 2:2.) And whosoever 
speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but 
whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven 
him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (Mat. 12:32.) 
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any 
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that 
is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the 
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world 
passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God 
abideth for ever. (I Jno. 2:15-17.) 

Chapter 2. 

.a. And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, 
glory appeared unto our father Abraham, 
before he dwelt in Charran. (Acts 7:2.) 

this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified 
the Lord of glory. (I Cor. 2:8.) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted 
him, and given him a name which is above every name. (Phil. 2:9.) 

b. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not re- 
spect the rsrson of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but 
in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. (Lev. 19:15.) Ye shall 



hearken; The God of 
when he was in Mesopotamia, 
Which none of the princes of 



not respect persons in judgment, but ye shall hear the small as well as 
the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment 
is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and 
I will hear it. (Dt. 1:17.) 

c. Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 
(Jno. 7:48.) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise 
men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But 
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; 
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the 
things which are mighty. (I Cor. 1:26, 27.) 

d. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find 
me. (Prov. 8:17.) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the king- 
dom of heaven. (Mat. 5:3.) 

e. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children 
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the 
Lord. (Lev. 19:18.) 

f. Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to 
do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Dt. 27:26.) 

g. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, 
nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. (Gal. 5:6.) 

h. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and 
Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound 
Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. (Gen. 22:9.) 

i. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for right- 
eousness. (Gen. 15:6.) 

j. But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the 
seed of Abraham my friend. (Is. 41:8.) 

k. And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy 
secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and 
came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. (Josn. 2:1.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall 
not to be condemned: forgive and ye shall be forgiven. (Lu. 6:37.) 

b. For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good; and 
sinneth not. (Ecc. 7:20.) 

c. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his 
tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. (I Pet. 3:10.) 

d. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou 
shalt be condemned. (Mat. 12:37.)

and boasteth great things. Behold, how great 
a matter a little fire kindleth! 

6 And the tongue is a 'fire, a world of in- 
iquity: so is the tongue among our members, 
that fit defileth the whole body, and setteth on 
fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire 
of hell. 

7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, 
and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is 
tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 

8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an 
unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 

9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; 
and therewith curse we men, which are made 
Rafter the similitude of God. 

10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth bless- 
ing and cursing. My brethren, these things 
ought not so to be. 

11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same 
place sweet water and bitter? 

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive 
berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain 
both yield salt water and fresh. 

13 2 Who 7, is a wise man and endued with 
knowledge among you? let him shew out of a 
good conversation his works with meekness of 
wisdom. 

14 But if ye have 'bitter envying and strife 
in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against 
the truth. 

15 This •'wisdom descendeth not from above, 
but is earthly, A 'sensual, 'devilish. 

16 For '"where envying and strife is, there 
is confusion and every evil work. 

17 But the wisdom that is from above is 
5 first pure, then peaceable, "gentle, and easy 
to be Untreated, full of "mercy and good fruits, 
without partiality, "and without hypocrisy. 

18 And "the fruit of righteousness is sown 
in peace of them that make peace. 

CHAPTER 4. 
1 We are to strive against covetousness, 4 in- 
temperance, 5 pride, 11 destruction, and 
rash judgment of others: 13 be mindful 
ever of the uncertainty of this life, to com- 
mit ourselves and all our affairs to God's 
providence. 
1 Trom whence come wars and fightings 



2. In vs. 13-18 we are given the 
test of the perfect teacher. 



3. Chaste, sanctified from all that 
is earthly, sensual.

5. Not harsh toward another's 
faults. 



6. Toward a brother in trouble. 



Ch. 4. A. D. 60.

and also the remedy for them.

among you? come they not hence, even of 
your lusts that war in your members? 

2 Ye 2 lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire 
to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, 
yet ye have not, because ye "ask not. 

3 & Ye ask, and receive not, c because ye ask 
amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye 
not that ''the friendship of the world is enmity 
with God? whosoever c therefore will be a 
friend of the world is the enemy of God. 

5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in 
vain, ''The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth 
to envy? 

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he 
saith, ffGod resisteth the proud, but giveth 
grace unto the humble. 

_ 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. 7i Re- 
sist the devil, and he 'will flee from you. 

8 Draw 'nigh to God, and he will draw nigh 
to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and 
purify your hearts, ye double minded. 

9 fie afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let 
your laughter be turned to mourning, and your 
joy to heaviness. 

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the 
Lord, and he shall lift *you up. 

11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. 
He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judg- 
eth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and 
judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, 
thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 

12 There is one lawgiver, ^'who is able to 
save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest 
another? 

13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to mor- 
row we will go into such a city, and continue 
there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain : ' 

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on 
the morrow. For what is your life? It is 
even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, 
and then vanisheth away. 

15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord 
will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 

16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all 
such rejoicing is evil. 

17 Therefore '■'to him that knoweth to do 
good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 



e. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are 
at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. (Ps. 123:4.) An ungodly 
man diggeth up evil; and in his lips there is as a burning fire. (Prov. 
16:27.) Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; 
for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. (Bcc. 8:3.) 

f. There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can 
defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that 
defile the man. (Ilk. 7:15.) 

g. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl 
of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every 
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Gen. 1:26.) For a man 
indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and 
glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. (I Cor. 11:7.) 

h. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have 
rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. (Gal. 6:4.) 

i. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunken- 
ness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envving. 
(Rom. 13:13.) 

j. Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose 
glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. (Phil. 3:19.) 

k. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in 
simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace 
of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly 
to you-ward. (II Cor. 1:12.) These be they who separate themselves, 
sensual, having not the Spirit. (Jude 19.) 

1. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all 
power and signs and lying wonders. (II Thess. 2:9.) Now the Spirit 
speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the 
fa)th, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (I Tim. 
4:1.) But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as 
have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, 
as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. (Rev. 2:24.) 

m. For ye are yet. carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, 
and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? (I Cor. 
3:3.) 

n. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; 
cleave to that which is good. (Rom. 12:9.) Seeing ye have purified your 
souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the 
brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. 
(I Pet. 1:22.) My little children, let us not love in word, neither in 
tongue; but in deed, and in truth. (I Jno. 3:18.) 

0. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children 
of God. (Mat. 5:9.) Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which 
are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God (Phil. 1:11.) The 



wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness 
shall be a sure reward. (Prov. 11:18.) And the work of righteousness 
shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance 
for ever. (Is. 32:17.) Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; 
break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he 
come and rain righteousness upon you. (Hos. 10:12.) Shall horses run 
upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned 
judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock. (Amos 
6:12.) For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; 
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 
(Gal. 6:8.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek 
after God: God is not in all his thoughts. (Ps. 10:4.) 

b. Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? (Job 27:9.) 
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek 
me early, but they shall not find me. (Prov. 1:28.) 

c. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. (Ps. 
66:18.) 

d. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 
(Mat. 6:24.) 

e. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but be- 
cause ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, 
therefore the world hateth you. (Jno. 15:19.) These words spake Jesus, 
and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; 
glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee. (Jno. 17:1.) 

f. I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether 
according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will 
know. (Gen. 18:21.) 

g. Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: 
but the proud he knoweth afar off. (Ps. 138:6.) 

h. Neither give place to the devil. (Eph. 4:27.) Be sober, be vigi- 
lant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, 
seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, know- 
ing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are 
in the world. (I Pet. 5:S, 9.) 

i. And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, 
Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be 
with him, and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye for- 
sake him, he will forsake you. (II Chr. 15:2.) 

j. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill 
the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body 
in hell. (Mat. 10:28.) 

k. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not

CHAPTER 5. 
1 Wicked rich men are to fear God's venge- 
ance. 7 We ought to be patient in afflic- 
tions, after the example of the prophets, and 
Job: 12 to forbear swearing, 16 to pray 
one for another. 

1 Go 3 to now, ye rich nnen, weep and howl 
for your miseries that shall come upon you. 

2 Your riches are ''corrupted, and your gar- 
ments are motheaten. 

3 Your gold and silver is 4 cankered; and 
the rust of them shall be a witness against 
you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. 
a Ye have heaped treasure together for the last 
days. 

4 Behold, b the hire of the labourers who 
have reaped down your fields, which is of you 
kept back by fraud, crieth: and c the cries of 
them which have reaped are entered into the 
ears of the Lord of Sab'a-oth. 

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, 
and been wanton; ye have nourished your 
hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 

6 Ye have condemned and killed d the just; 
and he doth not resist you. 

7 5 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the 
coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman 
waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, 
and hath long patience for it, until he receive 
e the early and latter rain. 

8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: 
for fthe coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 

9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, 
lest ye be condemned : behold, the judge "stand- 
eth before the door. 

10 Take, J my brethren, the prophets, who 
have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an 
example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 



Ch. 5. A. D. 60. 



1. Come now. 



2. That is, those who have neg- 
lected the true enjoyment and pur- 
pose of riches — the power of doing 
good. 



3. That is. destroyed of God, be- 
cause of misuse. 



4. Rusting through. 



5. In vs. 7-11 the sufferings of the 
Christians is declared to point to the 
judgment day. 



6. Held out faithful tc the end. 



7. In vs. 13-18 is the record of the 
prayer of faith. 



8. The prayers upheld and borne 
aloft by faith such as described in 
v. 16. 



11 Behold, we count them happy which "en- 
dure. Ye have heard of *the patience of Job, 
and have seen 'the end of the Lord; '^'that the 
Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 

12 But above all things, my brethren, 'swear 
not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, 
neither by any other oath: but let your yea 
be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into 
condemnation. 

13 7 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. 
Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for 
the "'elders of the church; and let them pray 
over him, "anointing him with oil in the name 
of the Lord: 

15 And the prayer of s faith shall save the 
sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; °and if 
he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven 
him. 

16 Confess your faults one to another, and 
pray one for another, that ye may be healed. 
The effectual Pfervent prayer of a righteous 
man availeth much. 

17 E-li'as was a man subject to like pas- 
sions as we are, and 'die prayed earnestly that 
it might not rain: and it rained not on the 
earth by the space of three years and six 
months. 

18 And he prayed again, and the heaven 
gave rain, and the earth brought forth her 
fruit. 

19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the 
truth, and one convert him; 

20 Let him know, that he which converteth 
the sinner from the error of his way shall save 
a sou] from death, and 'shall hide a multitude 
of sins. 



himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many 
stripes. (Lu. 12:47.) If I had not come and spoken unto them, they 
had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. (Jno. 15:22.) 
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly 
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal 
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. (Rom. 1:20.) 
Chapter 5. 

a. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto 
thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous 
judgment of God. (Rom. 2:5.) 

b. Thou Shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him: the wages 
of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morn- 
ing. (Lev. 19:13.) They cause him to go naked without clothing, and 
they take away the sheaf from the hungry. (Job 24:10.) Woe unto him 
that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; 
that useth his neighbor's service without wages, and giveth him not 
for his work. (Jer. 22:13.) And I will come near to you to judgment; 
and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adul- 
terers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the 
hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside 
the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. 
(Mai. 3:5.) 

c. At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun 
go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he 
cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee. (Dt. 24:15.) 

d. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my 
soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Heb. 10:38.) And if the righteous 
scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (I 
Pet. 4:18.) 

e. That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the 
first rain, and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and 
thy wine, and thine oil. (Dt. 11:14.) 

f. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at 
hand. (Phil. 4:5.) 

g. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is 
near, even at the doors. (Mat. 24:33.) There is one lawgiver, who is 
able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? (Js. 
4:12.) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and 
ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. (II Cor. 4:5.) Not forsaking the 
assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhort- 
ing one another: and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. 



(Heb. 10:25.) Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the 
quick and the dead. (I Pet. 4:5.) 

h. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying. (Mat. 5:2.) 

i. And said. Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked 
shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; 
blessed be the name of the Lord. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged 
God foolishly. (Job 1:21, 22.) 

j. And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his 
friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. (Job 
42:10.) 

k. The Lord is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity 
and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty; visiting the 
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth gen- 
eration. (Num. 14:18.) For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your 
brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead 
them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the Lord 
your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from 
you, if ye return unto him. (II Chr. 30:9.) 

1. But I say unto you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is 
God's throne. (Mat. 5:34.) 

m. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, 
especially they who labor in the word and doctrine. (I Tim. 5:17.) 

n: And they cast cut many devils, and anointed with oil many that 
were sick, and healed them. (Mk. 6:13.) 

o. And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that 
dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. (Is. 33:24.) And, behold, 
they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus, 
seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; 
thy sins be forgiven thee. (Mat. 9:2.) 

p. So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and 
his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare children. (Gen. 20:17.) 
And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, 
the fire was quenched. (Num. 11:2.) And the king answered and said 
unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and 
pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of 
God besought the Lord, and the king's hand was restored him again, and 
became as it was before. (I Ks. 13:6.) 

q. And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, 
said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, 
there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 
(I Ks. 17:1.) 

r. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is cov- 
ered. (Ps. 32:1.) 



THE FIRST EPISTLE GENERAL OF 



PETER 



NOTE. — The First Epistle of the Apostle Peter was written in the year 65 A. D., from Babylon, in Chaldea, and addressed to the Christians of Asia 
Minor. The general purpose was to give counsel to persecuted Christians and prepare them for any trial or ordeal which might be put upon them. 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 He blesseth God for his manifold spiritual 
graces: 13 and exhorteth them to a godly 
conversation, forasmuch as they are born 
anew by the word of God. 

1 Pe'ter, an apostle of Je'sus Christ, to the 
strangers "scattered throughout Pon'tus, Ga-la - 
tia, Cap-pa-do'ci-a, A'§ia, and Bi-thyn'i-a, 

2 Elect According to the foreknowledge of 
God the Father, through c sanctification of the 
Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling ^of the 
blood of Je'sus Christ: Grace unto you, and 
peace, be multiplied. 

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our 
Lord Je'sus Christ, which according to his 
abundant mercy hath ^begotten us again unto 
a lively hope by the resurrection of Je'sus 
Christ from the dead, 

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and unde- 
filed, and that fadeth not away, reserved in 
heaven for you, 

5 Who fare kept by the power of God 
through : faith unto salvation ready to be re- 
vealed in the last ^ime. 

6 Wherein -"ye greatly rejoice, though now 
for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness 
through manifold temptations: 

7 That the trial of your faith, being much 
more precious than of gold that perisheth, 
though it ''be tried with fire, might be found 
unto praise and honour and gloiy at the ap- 
pearing of Je'sus Christ: 

8 Whom 'having not seen, ye love; ■'in whom, 
though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye 
rejoice w 7 ith joy unspeakable and full of glory: 

9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the 
salvation of your souls. 

10 4 0f '''which salvation the prophets have 
enquired and searched diligently, who prophe- 
sied of the grace that should come unto you: 

11 Searching what, or what manner of time 
'the Spirit' of Christ which was in them did 
signify, when it testified beforehand '"the suf- 
ferings of Christ, and the glory that should 
follow. 

12 Unto "whom it was revealed, that not 
unto "themselves, but unto us they did minis- 
ter the things, which are now reported unto 
you by them that have preached the gospel unto 
you with the Ho'ly Gh5st sent down from 



Ch. 1. A. D. 60.

2. As the instrument on the part 
of man through which he lays hold 
upon the Holy Spirit. 



3. The day of judgment. 



4. In vs. 10-12 is the account of 
the ancient prophet's predictions of 
Christ. 



5. Alluding to the manner in which 
the Israelites ate the passover — with 
their outer robes girded ready to start

6. In vs. 14-16 all Christians are 
exhorted to be obedient after the ex- 
ample of Christ. 



7. In vs. 17-21 the church is ex- 
horted to fear of sin because of the 
judgment- 



S. Foreknown; i. e., from the 
foundation of the world it was the 
purpose of God to save man through 
the voluntary sacrifice of Christ.

manded to love one another.

1. In vs. 1-S all men are exhorted 
to continual growth in spiritual life. 



heaven; ^which things the angels desire to 
look into. 

13 Wherefore gird up the 5 loins of your 
mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the 
grace that is to be brought unto you at the 
revelation of Je'sus Christ; 

14 e As obedient children, not fashioning 
yourselves according to the former lusts in 
your ignorance: 

15 But as he which hath called you is holy, 
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 

16 Because it is written, iBe ye holy; for I 
am holy. 

17 7 And if ye call on the Father, who with- 
out respect of persons judgeth according to 
every man's work, pass the time of your 'so- 
journing here in fear: 

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not 
redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and 
gold, from your vain conversation received *by 
tradition from your fathers; 

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as 
of a lamb without blemish and without spot : 

20 Who verily was ^foreordained before the 
foundation of the world, but was manifest in 
these last times for you, 

21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised 
him up from the dead, and gave him glory; 
that your faith and hope might be in God. 

22 s Seeing ye have purified your souls in 
obeying the truth through the Spirit unto un- 
feigned love f of the brethren, see that ye love 
one another with a pure heart fervently: 

23 Being bom again, not of corruptible seed, 
but of incorruptible, by the word of God, 
which liveth and abideth for ever. 

24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory 
of man as the flower of grass. The grass 
withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for 
ever. And this is the word which by the gos- 
pel is preached unto you. 



CHAPTER 2. 
He dehorteth them from the breach of charity. 

1 'Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all 
guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil 
speakings, 

2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere a milk 
of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, 
and teach the Gentiles? (Jno. 7:35.) 

b. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be con- 
formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among 
many brethren. (Rom. 8:29.)

i. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: 
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love 
God whom he hath not seen? (I Jno. 4:20.)

hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and vet have be-

4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone,

and precious, 

5 Ye p also, as lively stones, are built up a 
spiritual house, d an holy priesthood, to offer 
up ""spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God bj/ 
Je'§us Christ. 

6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scrip- 
ture, ^Behold, I lay in Si'on a chief corner 
stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth 
on him shall not be confounded. 

7 Unto you therefore which believe he is 
precious: but unto them which be disobedient, 
^the stone which the builders disallowed, the 
same is made the head of the corner, 

8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of 
offence, even to them which stumble at the 
word, being disobedient: ''whereunto also they 
were appointed. 

9 But ye are ! 'a chosen generation, a royal 
priesthood, •'an holy nation, k a peculiar people; 
that ye should shew forth the praises of him 
who hath called you out of darkness into his 
marvellous light: 

10 Which ? in time past were not a people, 
but are now the people of God: which had not 
obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 

11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as stran- 
gers and pilgrims, abstain from -fleshly lusts, 
which war against the soul; 

12 Having your conversation honest among 
the Gen'tile§ : that, whereas they speak against 
you as evildoers, they may by your good works, 
which they shall behold, glorify God "'in the 
day of visitation. 

13 Submit yourselves to every ^ordinance of 
man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the 
king, as supreme; 

14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are 
sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, 
and for the praise of them that do well. 

15 For so is the will of God, that with well 
doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of 
foolish men : 

16 As free, and not using your liberty for a 
cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of 
God. 

17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. 
Fear God. Honour the king. 

18 4 Servants, be subject to your masters

but also to the froward.

1. In ch. 3 Peter discusses the

wrongfully. 

20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buf- 
feted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? 
but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye 
take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 

21 For even hereunto were ye called: be- 
cause Christ also suffered for us, leaving us 
an example, that ye should follow his steps: 

22 Who "did no sin, neither was guile found 
in his mouth: 

23 Who, "when he was reviled, reviled not 
again; when he suffered, he threatened not; 
but committed himself to him that judgeth 
righteously : 

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his 
own body on the tree, that we, being dead to 
sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose 
stripes ye were healed. 

25 For ^ J ye were as sheep going astray; but 
are now returned unto the Shepherd and 
Bishop of your souls.

1 He teacheth the duty of wives and husbands 
to each other. 19 He declareth also the ben- 
efits of Christ toward the old world. 

1 likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to_ 
your own husbands; that, if any obey not' 
the word, they a also may without the word be 
''won by the conversation of the wives; 

2 While they behold your 2 chaste conversa- 
tion coupled with fear. 

3 Whose c adorning let it not be that out- 
ward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of 
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 

4 But let it be d the hidden man of the heart, 
in that which is not corruptible, even the 
ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is 
in the sight of God of great price. 

5 For after this manner in the old time the 
holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned 
themselves, being in subjection unto their own 
husbands: 

6 Even as Sa'ra obeyed A 'bra-ham, calling 
him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as 
ye do well, and are not afraid with any amaze- 
ment. 

7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them 
according to knowledge, giving honour unto 
the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as 
being heirs together of the grace of life; e that 
your prayers be not hindered. 

8 'Finally, be ye all of one mind, having

children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 18:3.) 
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto 
me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 19:14.) Verily I say 
unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little 
child, he shall not enter therein. (Mk. 10:15.) Verily I say unto you, 
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall

trusteth in him. (Ps. 34:S.) 

e. In whom all the building, fitly framed together, groweth unto an 
holy temple in the Lord. (Eph. 2:21.) 

d. I will also take of them for priests, and for Levites, saith the 
Lord. (Is. 6C:21.) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and 
his Father. (Rev. 1:6.) 

e. Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take 
away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the 
calves of our lips. (Hos. 14:2.) From the rising of the sun, even unto 
the going down of the same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; 
and in eyery place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure 
offering. (Mai. 1:11.) 

f. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a 
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foun- 
dation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (Is. 28:16.) 

g. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The 
stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the 
corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (Mat. 
21:42.) 

h. What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power 
known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to 
destruction? (Rom. 9:22.) 

i. Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he 
chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. 
(Dt. 10:15.) 

j. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be 
sanctified through the truth. (Jno. 17:19.) 



k. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord 
thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all 
people that are upon the face of the earth. (Dt. 7:6.) 

1. I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I 
will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and 
they shall say, Thou art my God. (Hos. 2:23.) 

m. They shail not leave in thee one stone upon another; because 
thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (Lu. 19:44.) 

n. Which cf you convinceth me of sin? (Jno. 8:46.1 And he made 
his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death; because he 
had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. (Is. 53:9.) 

o. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before 
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Is. 53:7.) 

p. I have gone astray like a lost sheep. (Ps. 119:176.) My people 
hath been lost sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, 
they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from 
mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting-place. (Jer. 50:6.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou Shalt save thy 
husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy 
wife? (I Cor. 7:16.) 

b. Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell 
him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou 
hast gained thy brother. (Mat. 18:15.) 

c. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest ap- 
parel, with shame-facedness and sobriety: not with broidered hair, or 
gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which beoometh women professing 
godliness) with good works. (I Tim. 2:9, 10.) 

d. The king's daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of 
wrought gold. (Ps. 45:13.) He is a Jew which is one inwardly; and 
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; 
whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Rom. 2:29.) 

e. Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember- 
est that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before 
the altar, and go thy wav; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then 
come and offer thy gift. (Mat. 5:23, 24.)

compassion one of another, love as brethren, 
be pitiful, be courteous: 

9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for 
railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing 
that ye are thereunto called, ''that ye should 
inherit a blessing. 

10 For -"he that will love life, and see good 
days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, 
and his lips that they speak no guile: 

11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let 
him seek peace, and ensue it. 

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the 
righteous, 7, and his ears are open unto their 
prayers: but the face of the Lord is against 
them that do evil. 

13 And 'who is he that will harm you, if ye 
be followers of that which is good? 

14 But -'and if ye suffer for righteousness' 
sake, happy are ye : and l 'be not afraid of their 
terror, neither be troubled; 

15 But ^sanctify the Lord God in your 
hearts: and 'be ready always to give an answer 
to- every man that asketh you a reason of the 
hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 

16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas 
they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they 
may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good 
conversation in Christ. 

* 17 "For it is better, if the will of God be so, 
that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil 
doing. 

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for 
sins, the just for the unjust, that he might 
bring us to God, being put to death '"in the 
flesh, but "quickened by the Spirit: 

19 °By which also he went and preached 
unto the spirits in ^'prison; 

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when 
once the longsuffering of God waited in the 
days of No'ah, while the ark was i& preparing, 
''wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved 
by water. 

21 The 6 like figure whereunto even baptism 
doth also now save us (not the putting away 
of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a 
good conscience toward God,) by the resur- 
rection of Je'sus Christ: 

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is 'on the 
right hand of God; angels and authorities and 
poweis being made subject unto him. 



Enthrone him in the heart.

spirit of our sufferings illustrated bv 
Christ. 



Ch. 4, A. D. 60. 



1. In eh. 4 all believers are ex- 
horted to follow the pattern of Christ 
and henceforth have nothing more to 
do with sin; with watchful prayer- 
fulness to cultivate self-restraint, 
charity, hospitality and scriptural 
speech. 



2. In vs. 7-11 the apostle declares 
that the end of all things will en- 
force the law of holiness, therefore 
let us obey the law that we may be 
in harmony with it. 



CHAPTER 4. 
1 He exhorteth them to cease from sin by the 
example of Christ, and the consideration of 
the general end that now approacheth. 

1 Forasmuch Hhen as Christ hath suffered 
for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise 
with the same mind : for he "that hath suffered 
in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 

2 That he no longer should live the rest of 
his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but- to 
the will of God. 

3 For the time past of our life may suffice 
us to have wrought the will of the Gen 'tiles, 
when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess 
of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abomina- 
ble idolatries: 

4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run 
not with them to the same excess of riot, speak- 
ing evil of you : 

5 Who shall give account to him that is 
ready 5 to judge the quick and the dead. 

6 For for this cause was the gospel preached 
also to them that are dead, that they might be 
judged according to men in the flesh, but live 
according to God in the spirit. 

7 2 But c the end of all things is at hand: be 
ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 

8 And above all things have fervent charity 
among yourselves: for d charity shall cover the 
multitude of sins. 

9 Use hospitality one to another without 
f grudging. 

10 As every man hath received the gift, 
even so minister the same one to another, as 
good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 

11 If fany man speak, let him speak as the 
oracles of God; if any man minister, let him 
do it as of the ability which God giveth : that 
s'God in all things may be glorified through 
Je'sus Christ, to whom be praise and domin- 
ion for ever and ever. Amen. 

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning 
the fiery trial which is to try you, as though 
some strange thing happened unto you: 

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as /! ye are par- 
takers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his 
glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also 
with exceeding joy. 

14 If ! 'ye be reproached for the name of 
Christ, happy are ye; for the -'spirit of glory

and of God resteth upon you: on their part 
he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is 
glorified. 

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, 
or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busy- 
body in other men's matters. 

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Chris'tian, let 
him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God 
on this behalf. 

17 For the time is come *'that judgment 
must begin at the house of "God: and if it first 
begin at us, what 'shall the end be of them 
that obey not the gospel of God? 

18 And if '"the righteous scarcely be saved, 
where shall the ungodly and the sinner ap- 
pear? 

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according 
to the will of God commit the keeping of their 
souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful 
Creator. 

CHAPTER 5. 
1 He exkorteth the elders to feed their flocks, 
5 the younger to obey, 8 and all to be 
sober, watchful, and constant in the faith. 

1 The elders which are among you I exhort, 
who am °also an elder, and a witness of the 
sufferings of Christ, 6 and also c a partaker of 
the glory that shall be revealed: 

2 Feed d the flock of God which is among 
you, taking the oversight thereof, not by con- 
straint, but willingly; not for filthy flucre, but 
of a ready mind; 

3 Neither as e being lords ''over God's her- 
itage, but being : ensamples to the flock. 



3. That is, discipline, retribution 
and punishment. God will begin with 
his own people and if they escape 
not, how shall the sinner hope to es- 
cape? 



Ch. 5. A. D. 60. 



1. For wages. 



2. Example. 



3. Jesus Christ. 



4. Watchful, wisely conservative. 



5. Wide awake, alert, ready for 
the occasion. 



6. Firm and earnest trust and con- 
fident reliance In the statements and 
promises of Jesus Christ, "the sub- 
stance of things hoped for, the evi- 
dence of things not seen." 



4 And when ^the chief = Shepherd shall ap- 
pear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that 
fadeth not away. 

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves 
unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one 
to another, and be clothed with humility: for 
God resisteth the proud, and giveth ''grace to 
the humble. 

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the 
mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in 
due time: 

7 Casting *all your care upon him; for he 
careth for you. 

8 Be 4 sober, be "vigilant; because your ad- 
versary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh 
about, seeking whom he may devour: 

9 Whom resist stedfast in the °faith, know- 
ing that the same afflictions are accomplished 
in your brethren that are in the world. 

10 But the God of all grace, who hath called 
us unto his eternal glory by Christ Je'sus, 
after that ye have suffered a while, make you 
perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 

11 To him be glory and dominion for ever 
and ever. Amen. 

12 By ■'Sil-va'nus, a faithful brother unto 
you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, ex- 
horting, and testifying that this is the true 
grace of God wherein ye stand. 

13 The church that is at Bab'y-lon, elected 
together with you, saluteth you; and so doth 
Mar'eus my son. 

14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of 
charity. Peace be with you all that are in 
Christ Je'sus. Amen. 



k. For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by 
my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? (Jer. 25:29.) Slay 
utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women; 
but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my 
sanctuary. (Ez. 9:6.) 

1. But I scy unto you, That it shall be more tolerable in that day 
for Sodom, than for that city. (Lu. 10:12.) 

m. Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much 
more the wicked and the sinner. (Prov. 11:31.) 

Chapter 5. 

a. Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as 
Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. (Philemon 9.) 

b. And ye are witnesses of these things. (Lu. 24:48.) And we 
are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, 
and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree. (Acts 10:39.) 

c. If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; 
if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified to- 
gether. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not 
worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 
(Rom. 8:17, 18.) 

d. So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter. Simon, 
son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, 



Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed 
my lambs. (Jno. 21:15.) 

e. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed 
that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, 
neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither 
have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty 
have ye ruled them. (Ez. 34:4.) Not for that we have dominion over 
your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. (II Cor. 
1:24.) 

f. Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; 
the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed. (Ps. 74:2.) 

g. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our 
Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the 
everlasting covenant, Make you perfect. (Heb. 13:20, 21.) 

h. For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things 
have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that 
is poor, and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. (Is. 66:2.) 

i. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall 
bring it to pass. (Ps. 37:5.) 

j. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you 
by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus. (II Cor. 1:19.) 



THE SECOXD EPISTLE GEXERAL OF 



PETER 



NOTE. — The Apostle Peter's second letter, written during the year 6S A. D.. and addressed to Christians in general, contains Peters farewell exhortations. 
urging the people to guard themselves against the influence of false teachers and to continue to grow in the experimental ""knowledge of our Lord and 

Saviour." 



CHAPTER 1. 
1 Confirming them in hope of the increase of 
God's graces, 5 he exhorteth them, by faith, 
and good ivorks, to make their calling sure: 
16 and warneth them to be constant in the 
faith of Christ. 

1 Si'mon "Pe'ter, a servant and an apostle 
of Je'sus Christ, to them that have obtained 
"like precious faith with us through the right- 
eousness 6 of God and our Saviour Je'sus 
Christ : 

2 Grace : and s peace he multiplied unto you 
through the knowledge of God, and of Je'sus 
our Lord, 

3 4 According as his divine power hath given 
unto us all things that pertain unto life and 
godliness, through the c knowledge of him that 
<math called us to glory and virtue: 

4 Whereby f are given unto us exceeding 
great and precious promises: that by these ye 
might be f partakers of the divine nature, hav- 
ing escaped the corruption that is in the world 
through lust. 

5 And "beside this, giving all diligence, add 
to your 6 faith virtue; and ^to virtue knowl- 



6 And to knowledge 'temperance; and c 'to 
temperance patience; and to patience godli- 
ness; 

7 And to godliness "brotherly kindness; and 
''to brotherly kindness charity. 

8 "For if these things be in you, and abound, 
they make you that ye shall neither be barren 
nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord 
Je'sus Christ. 

9 But he that lacketh these things 'is blind, 
and cannot see afar off. and hath forgotten 
that he was 'purged from his old sins. 

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give 
'•diligence to make your calling and election 
sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never 
fall: 

11 For ? so an entrance shall be ministered 
unto you abundantly into the everlasting king- 
dom of our Lord and Saviour Je'sus Christ. 



Ch. 1. A. D. 66. 



1. In ch. 1 the apostle exhorts all 
people to cultivate the Christian 
graces, as God has given us the 
knowledge in Christ. 



2. The first blessing 
ceived. 



to be re- 



The fruit or result of grace. 



4. In vs. 3-9 the apostle declares 
that the promises of God eaU for the 
culture of Christian graces upon the 
part of man. 



5. That is. for the very reason 
expressed in vs. 3 and 4. 



6. It should be observed that in 
speaking of the Christian virtues, as 
given in vs. 5-7. the apostle puts 
faith first, as that which precedes all 
the others, and has love as the clos- 
ing or final attribute which has been 
developed. 



Moral excellence. 



S. Self-control. 



9. To self-control and patient en- 
durance. 



10. That is. do not allow your 
godliness to degenerate into mor^se- 
ness, but to it add brotherly kind- 
ness. 



11. Love to all mankind. 



Mt. FTermon. 



12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put 
you always in remembrance of these things, 
though ye know them, and be established in 
the present truth. 

13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in 
this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you 
in remembrance; 

14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this 
my tabernacle, even as our '"Lord Je'sus Christ 
hath shewed me. 

15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may 
be able after my decease to have these things 
always in remembrance. 

16 For we have not followed cunningly de- 
vised fables, when we made known unto you 
the power and coming of our Lord Je'sus 
Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 

17 For he received from God the Father 
honour and glory, when there came such a 
voice to him from the excellent glory, This "is 
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

18 And this voice which came from heaven 
we heard, when we were with him in °the 
!L holy mount. 

19 We have also a more i'sure word of 
prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take 
heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark 
place, until the day dawn, and the ?day star 
arise in your hearts: 

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of 
the scripture is of any private interpretation. 

21 For 'the prophecy came not in old time 
by the will of man: but s holy men of God 
spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 

CHAPTER 2. 
He foretelleth of false teachers, shelving the 
impiety and punishment both of them and 
their folloivers. 

1 But there were false prophets also among 
the people, even as there shall be false teach- 
ers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that 
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift 
destruction. 

2 And many shall follow their pernicious 



Ref. LT Peter. Chapter 1. 

a. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto 
us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could 
withstand God? (Acts 11:17.) One Lord, one faith, one baptism. (Eph. 
4:5.) 

b. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of 
the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. (Tit. 2:13.) 

c. This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true 
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Jno. 17:3.) 

d. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto 
his kingdom and glory. (I Thess. 2:12.) Whereunto he called you by 
our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II 
Thess. 2:14.) Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, 
not according to bur works, but according to his own purpose and 
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. (II 
Tim. 1:9.) 

e. Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse 
ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness 
in the fear of God. (II Cor. 7:1.) 

f. We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the 
Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as 
by the Spirit of the Lord, ill Cor. 3:18.) Till we all come in the unity 
of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God. unto a perfect 
man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (13). And 
that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteous- 
ness and true holiness. (Eph. 4:13, 24.) For they verily for a few days 
chastened us after their own pleasure: but he for our profit, that we 
might be partakers of his holiness. (Heb. 12:10.) Beloved, now are we 
the sons of God: and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we 
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him: for we shall 
see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) And this I pray, that your love may 
abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment. (Phil. 
1:9.) 

h. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, 
especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Gal. 6:10.) 

i. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in 
darkness even until now (9). But he that hateth his brother is in 



darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, 
because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. (I Jno. 2:9, 11.) 

j. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water 
by the wcrd. (Eph. 5:26.) 

k. Hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our 
hearts before him. d Jno. 3:19.) 

1. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, 
which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and 
not to me onlv, hut unto all them also that love his appearing. (II 
Tim. 4:8.) 

m. When thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and 
another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 
This spake he, signifying bv what death he should glorify God. (Jno. 
21:18, 19.) 

n. And l.o a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, 
in whom I am well pleased. (Mat. 3:17.) 

o. Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for 
the place whereon thcu standest is holy ground. (Ex. 3:5.) And when 
the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 
(Mat. 17:6.) 

p. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according 
to this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Is. 8:20.) 

q. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them 
which believe not. lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is 
the image of God, should shine unto them (4). For God, who com- 
manded the light to shine out of darkness, .hath shined in our hearts, 
to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of 
Jesus Christ. (II Cor. 4:4, 6.) I will give him the morning star. (Rev. 
2:28.) 

r. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profit- 
able for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in right- 
eousness. (II Tim. 3:16.) Searching what, or what manner of time, the 
Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified before- 
hand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. (I Pet. 
1:11.) 

s. The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my 
tongue. (II Sam. 23:2.) As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, 
which have been since the world began. iLu. 1:70.)

shall be evil spoken of. 

3 And through covetousness shall they 'with 
feigned words make merchandise of you : whose 
judgment now of a long time lingereth not, 
and their damnation slumbereth not. 

4 "For if God spared not 3 the "angels that 
sinned, but ''cast them down to hell, and de- 
livered them into chains of darkness, to be 
reserved unto judgment; 

5 And spared not the old world, but saved 
No'ah the c 'eighth person, a preacher of right- 
eousness, bringing in the flood upon the world 
of the ungodly; 

6 And ^turning the cities of Sod'om and Go- 
mor'rha into ashes condemned them with an 
overthrow, making them an e ensample unto 
those that after should live ungodly; 

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the 
filthy conversation of the wicked :

them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his right- 
eous soul from day to day with their unlawful 
deeds ; )

godly out of temptations, and to reserve the

flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise

power and might, bring not railing accusation 
against them before the Lord. 

12 But 4 these, as ''natural brute beasts, 
made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of

unrighteousness ; 

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the 
dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the 
madness of the prophet. 

17 These are wells without water, clouds 
that are carried with a tempest; to whom the 
mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 

18 For when they speak great swelling 
words of vanity, they allure through the lusts 
of the flesh, through much wantonness, those

themselves are "the servants of corruption: for

20 For Pit after they have escaped the pol- 
ultions of the world through the knowledge 
of the Lord and Saviour Je'§us Christ, they 
are again entangled therein, and overcome, the 
latter end is worse with them than the begin- 
ning. 

21 For it had been better for them not to 
have known the way of righteousness, than, 
after they have known it, to turn from the 
holy commandment delivered unto them. 

22 But it is happened unto them according 
to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his 
own vomit again ; and the sow that was washed 
to her wallowing in the mire. 

CHAPTER 3. 
1 He assureth them of the certainty of Christ's 
coming to judgment: 8 warning the godly 
to hasten their repentance. 

1 'This second epistle, beloved, I now write 
unto you; in both which "I stir up your pure 
minds by way of remembrance: 

2 That ye may be mindful of the words 
which were spoken before by the holy proph- 
ets, 6 and of the commandment of us the apos- 
tles of the Lord and Saviour: 

3 Knowing c this first, that there shall come 
in the last days scoffers, walking after their 
own lusts, 

4 And saying, 3 Where is the promise of his 
coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all 
things continue as they were from the begin- 
ning of the creation. 

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, 



Chapter 2. 

a. His angels he charged with folly. (Job 4:18.) And the angels 
whien kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath 
reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, unto the judgment of 
the great day. (Jude 6.) 

d. And they besought him that he would not command them to go 
out into the deep. (Lu. 8:31.) And he laid hold on the dragon, that 
old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand 
years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set 
a seal upon him. (Rev. 20:2, 3.) 

e. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into 
the ark: for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 
(Gen. 7:1.) 

d. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim- 
stone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. (Gen. 19:24.) 

e. Even as Sodom and Gomcrrha, and the cities about them, in 
like manner giving themselves over to fornication, and going after 
strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance 
ot eternal fire. (Jude 7.) Verily I say unto you, It • shall be more 
tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, 
than for that city. (Mat. 10:15.) And thou, Capernaum, which art 
exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty 
works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it 
would have remained until this day. (Mat. 11:23.) And as Esaias said 
before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been 
as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. (Rom. 9:29.) 

f. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them 
out of all their troubles. (Ps. 34:17.) 

g. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil 
he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a 
railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 9.) 

h. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them 
for the day of slaughter. (Jer. 12:3.) 

i. Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose 
glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. (Phil. 3:19.) 

j. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunk- 
enness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 
(Rom. 13:13.) 

k. When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to 
eat the Lord's supper. For in eating everj' one taketh before other 
his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. (I Cor. 
11:20, 21.) 



1. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran 
greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the 
gainsaying of Core. (Jude 11.) But I have a few things against thee, 
because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who 
taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to 
eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. (Rev. 2:14.) 

m. Save yourselves from this untoward generation. (Acts 2:40.) 

n. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not 
liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. (Gal. 
5:13.) 

o. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever 
committeth sin is the servant of sin. (Jno. 8:34.) 

p. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more 
wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last 
state of that man is worse than the first. (Mat. 12:45.) For if we sin 
wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there 
remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for 
of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 
(Heb. 10:26, 27.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir 
you up by putting you in remembrance. (II Pet. 1:13.) 

b. Beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of 
the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 17.) 

c. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some 
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doc- 
trines of devils. (I Tim. 4:1.) 

d. Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let 
it come now. (Jer. 17:15.) That say. Let him make speed, and hasten 
his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of 
Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! (Is. 5:19.) Which 
say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and 
we be the flesh. (Ez. 11:3.) Son of man, what is that proverb that ye 
have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every 
vision faileth? |22). Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel 
say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he proph- 
esieth of the times that are far off. (Hz. 12:22, 27.) Ye have wearied 
the Lord with your words: yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? 
When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the 
Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? 
(Mai. 2:17.) But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My 
lord delayeth his coming. (Mat. 24:48.)

Ch. 



II PETER 



A. D. 66 



that f by the word of God the heavens were of 
old, and the earth standing out of the water 
and in the water: 

6 Whereby '"the world that then was, being- 
overflowed with water, perished: 

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are 
now, by the same word are kept in store, re- 
served '- 7 unto fire against the day of judg- 
ment and perdition of ungodly men. 

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one 
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a 
thousand years, and a thousand years as one 

9 The Lord is not 2 slack concerning his 
promise, as some men count slackness; but 7, is 
longsuffexing to us-ward, 'not willing that any 
should perish, but -'that all should come to re- 
pentance. 

10 But ?: the day of the Lord will come as a 
thief in the night; in the which = the 'heavens 
shall pass away with a great noise, and the 
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth 
also and the works that are therein shall be 
4 burned up. 

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be 
dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye 
to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming 



Slow, dilatory, or behind time. 



The visible or ethereal heaven. 



4. The symbol or image of divine 
wrath exercised in penalty. 



5. The visible heavens or ethereal 
element. 



of the day of God, wherein the heavens "being 
on fire shall n, be dissolved, and the elements 
shall "melt with fervent heat? 

13 Nevertheless we, according to his prom- 
ise, look for °new heavens and a new earth, 
wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look 
for such things, be diligent that ye may be 
found of him in peace, without spot, and 
blameless. 

15 And account that ^the longsuffering of 
our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved 
brother Paul also according to the wisdom 
given unto him hath written unto you; 

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in 
^■'thern of these things; in which are some 
things hard to be understood, which they that 
are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do 
also the other scriptures, unto their own de- 
struction. 

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know 
these things before, r beware lest ye also, being 
led away with the error of the wicked, fall 
from your own stedfastness. 

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge 
of our Lord and Saviour Je'sus Christ. To 
him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 



e. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the 
hosts of them by the breath of his mouth. (Ps. 33:6.) 

f. The same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken 
up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (Gen. 7:11.) 

g. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, 
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thess. 1:8.) 
For, behold, the Lord will come with lire, and with his chariots like a 
whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames 
of fire. (Is. 66:15.) I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the 
Ancient of days 'did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the 
hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, 
and his wheels as burning fire. (Dan. 7:9.) For our God is a consum- 
ing fire. (Heb. 12:29.) 

h. And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto 
you: and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon 
you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait 
for him. (Is. 30:18.) 

i. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the 
Lord God; and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 
(Ez. 1S:23.) 

j. Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and 
long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to 
repentance? (Rom. 2:4.) Who will have all men to be saved, and to 
come unto the knowledge of the truth. (I Tim. 2:4.) 

k. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in 



what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would 
not have suffered his house to be broken up. (Mat. 24:43.) 

1. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass 
away. (Mat. 24:35.) 

m. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall 
devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 
(Ps. 50:3.) And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the 
heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll. (Is. 34:4.) 

n. And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys 
shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured 
down a steep place. (Mic. 1:4.) 

o. For, behold, I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the 
former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Is. 65:17.) For 
as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make, shall re- 
main before me, saith the Lord, so shall vour seed and vour name re- 
main. (Is. 66:22.) 

p. Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and 
long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to 
repentance? (Rom. 2:4.) 

q. The earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifesta- 
tion of the sons of God. (Rom. 8:19.) 

r. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed' to and fro, and 
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and 
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. (Eph. 4:14.) 



THE FIRST EPISTLE GENERAL OF 



JOHN 



NOTE. — The First Epistle of John was written in the year So A. D., from Ephesus in Asia Minor, and was addressed to all Christians, 
purpose or subject is an exhortation to fellowship with God, or to walk in the light as he is in the light. 



Its general 



CHAPTER 1. 
• He describeth the person of Christ, in whom 
we have eternal life, by a communion with 
God. 

1 That Hvhich "was from the beginning, 
which ive have heard, which we have seen 
with our eyes, which 6 we have looked upon, 
and c our hands "have handled, d of the Word 
of life; 

2 (For c the life was f manifested, and we 
have seen it, ^and bear witness, and shew unto 
you that eternal life, which was with the Fa- 
ther, and was manifested unto us;) 

3 That which we have seen and heard de- 
clare we unto you, that ye also may have fel- 
lowship with us: and truly our ''fellowship is 
with the Father, and with his Son Je'sus 
Christ. 

4 And these things write we unto you, that 
your joy may be full. 

5 J This then is the message which we have 
heard of him, and declare unto you, that God 
'is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 

6 If we say that we have fellowship with 
him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not 
the truth: 

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the 
light, we have fellowship one with another, 
and the blood of Je'sus Christ his Son cleanseth 
us from all sin. 

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive 
ourselves, and ■'the truth is not in us. 

9 If we confess "our sins, he is faithful and 
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us 
from all unrighteousness. 

10 If we say that we have ^'not sinned, we 
make "him a liar, and his word 7 is not in us. 

CHAPTER 2. 

1 He comforteth them against the sins of in- 
firmity. 3 Rightly to know God is to keep 
his commandments. 

1 My little children, these things write I 
unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man 
sin, "we have an advocate with the Father, 
Je'sus Christ the righteous: 

2 And 6 he is the propitiation for our sins: 



Ch. 1. A. D. 90. 



1. In ch. 1, the author describes 
the person of Christ, feeling that he 
has the authority to do so, having 
seen, heard and touched him. If we 
would have fellowship with him. we 
must walk in the light as it is in 
Christ Jesus. 



2. The apostles. 



3. Alluding to Christ's speaking to 
Thomas, telling him to reach forth 
his hand and thrust it into his side. 



4. In vs. 5-10, the apostle gives a 
brief summary of the whole epistle. 



5. If, with a sincere and contrite 
heart, we confess our sins, he will be 
true to his promise and forgive us. 



6. By denying his word that all 
men are sinners. 



7. Therefore, his word, which is 
truth, is not in us if we are false. 



Ch. 2, A. D. 90. 



1. In vs. 3-14 the apostle declares 
that if we make claim to purity of 
heart we must abstain from all sin, 
as Christ our example. 



2. In vs. 15-17 we are commanded 
not to confer our love upon a world 
of impure conditions. 



and not for our's only, but c also for the sins 
of the whole world. 

3 *And hereby we do know that we know 
him, if we keep his commandments. 

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth 
not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth 
is not in him. 

5 But whoso ^keepeth his word, in him ver- 
ily is the love of God perfected: hereby know 
we that we are in him. 

6 He c that saith he abideth in him ought 
himself ^also so to walk, even as he walked. 

7 Brethren, s\ write no new commandment 
unto you, but an old commandment which ''ye 
had from the beginning. The old command- 
ment is the word which ye have heard from 
the beginning. 

8 Again, 'a new commandment I write unto 
you, which thing is true in him and in you: 
because the darkness is past, and ■'the true 
light now shineth. 

9 He that saith he is in the light, and 
hateth his brother, is in darkness even until 
now. 

10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the 
light, and there is none occasion of stumbling 
in him. 

11 But he that hateth his brother is in dark- 
ness, and ''"walketh in darkness, and knoweth 
not whither he goeth, because that darkness 
hath blinded his eyes. 

12 I write unto you, little children, because 
'your sins are forgiven you for his name's 
sake. 

13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have 
known him that is from the beginning. I write 
unto you, young men, because ye have over- 
come the wicked one. I write unto you, little 
children, because ye have known the Father. 

14 I have written unto you, fathers, because 
ye have known him that is from the beginning. 
I have written unto you, young men, because 
m ye are strong, and the word of God abideth 
in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 

15 "Love not the world, neither the things 
that are in the world. If any man love the 
world, the love of the Father is not in him. 



Ref. I John. Chapter 1. 

a. But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the 
thousands of* Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that 
is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from 
everlasting. (Mic. 5:2.) That which was from the beginning, which we 
have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked 
upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life. (I Jno. 1:1.) 

b. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we 
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of 
grace and truth. (Jno. 1:11.) 

c. Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and 
see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. (Lu. 
24:39.) 

d. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name 
is called The Word of God. (Rev. 19:13.) 

e. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (Jno. 1:4.) 

f. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God 
was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached 
unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (I 
Tim. 3:16.) And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; 
and in him is no sin. (I Jno. 3:5.) 

g. This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote 
these things: and we know that his testimony is true. (Jno. 21:24.) 

h. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in 
thee, that they also may be one in us: 'that the world may believe that 
thou hast sent me. (Jno. 17:21.) 

i. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the 
world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have 
the light of life. (Jno. 8:12.) 

j. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what 
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what commu- 
nion hath light with darkness? (II Cor. 6:14.) For ye were sometimes 
darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. 
(Eph. 5:8.) 

k. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my 
sin? (Prov. 20:9.) As it is written. There is none righteous, no, not 
one. (Rom. 3:10.) For in many things we offend all. If any man offend 



not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole 
body. (Js. 3:2.) 
Chapter 2. 

a. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, 
whieh are the figures of tne truth; but into heaven itself, now to appear 
in the presence-of God for us. (Heb. 9:24.) 

b. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in 
his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are 
past, through the forbearance of God. (Rom. 3:25.) 

e. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Be- 
hold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world! (Jno. 
1:29.) 

d. If ye love me, keep my commandments. (Jno. 14:15.) No man 
hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, 
and his love is perfected in us. (I Jno. 4:12.) 

e. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of 
itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in 
me. (Jno. 15:4.) 

f. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and 
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Mat. 11:29.) 

g. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new com- 
mandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that 
we love one another. (II Jno. 5.) 

h. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that 
we should love one another. (I Jno. 3:11.) 

i. A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another; 
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (Jno. 13:34.) 

j. That was the true Light, whieh lighteth every man that cometh 
into the world. (Jno. 1:9.) 

k. Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with 
you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he 
that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. (Jno. 12:35.) 

1. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other 
name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. (Acts 
4:12.) 

m. Ftnally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power 
of his might. (Eph. 6:10.)

Ch. 3 



I JOHN 



A. D. 90 



16 For all that is in the world, the 3 lust of 
the flesh, "and the lust of the eyes, and the 
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of 
the world. 

17 And the world passeth away, and the 
lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God 
abideth for ever. 

18 Little children, °it is the last time : and as 
ye have heard J'that antichrist shall come, 
-'even now are there many antichrists; whereby 
we know that it is the last time. 

19 They went out from us, but they were 
not of us; for 'if they had been of us, they 
would no doubt have continued with us: but 
they went out, that s they might be made mani- 
fest that they were not all of us. 

20 But 'ye have an unction from the 4 Holy 
One, and "ye know all things. 

21 I have not written unto you because ye 
know not the truth, but because ye know it, 
and that no lie is of the truth. 

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that 
Je'§us is the Christ? He is antichrist, that 
deniech the Father and the Son. 

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath 
not the Father: [but] 'he that acknowledged 
the Son hath the Father also. 

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which 
ye have heard from the beginning. If that 
which ^'ye have heard from the beginning shall 
remain in you, s ye also shall continue in the 
Son, and in the Father. 

25 And J'this is the promise that he hath 
promised us, even eternal life. 

26 These things have I written unto you 
concerning them that seduce you. 

27 But the anointing which ye have received 
of him abideth in you, and z ye need not that 
any man teach you : but as the same anointing 
aa teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and 
is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye 
shall abide in him. 

28 And now, little children, abide in him; 
that when he shall appear, we may have confi- 
dence, and not be ashamed before him at his 
coming. 



3. A desire for evil thins; 



4. In vs. 20-29 we are told that 
the power of Christ will preserve us 
if we will unite ourselves with it. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 90. 



I. God the Father has manifested 
the character of his love for us by 
conferring upon us the title of sons. 



2. A positive, emphatic statement 
of our relation with the Father. 



3. As yet it but dimly appears 
what we shall be, only that we shall 
be like him. 



4. We shall be like him, for, be- 
holding him, we shall reflect his 
glory, as the moon, facing the sun, 
reflects the light of the sun. 



5. In vs. 11-1S we are told that the 
state of our purity is made mani- 
fest by our love to our brother. 



29 If ye k%now that he is righteous, ye 
know that every one that doeth righteousness 
is born of him. 

CHAPTER 3. 

He declareth the singular love of God towards 

us. 

1 Behold, what manner of love the Father 
hath bestowed upon us, that "we should be> 
called the "sons of God: therefore the world 
knoweth us not, ^because it knew him not. 

2 Beloved, now 2 are we the sons of God, and 
c 'it doth not yet appear what we 3 shall be: but 
we know that, when he shall appear, d we shall 
be like him; e for 'we shall see him as he is. 

3 And every man that hath this hope in him 
purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth 
also the law: for sin is the transgression of 
the law. 

5 And ye know that he was manifested ^to 
take away our sins; and »in him is no sin. 

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: 
whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither 
known him. 

7 Little children, let no man deceive you : he 
''that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as 
he is righteous. 

8 He 'that committeth sin is of the devil; 
for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For 
this purpose the Son of God was manifested, 
-'that he might destroy the works of the devil. 

9 Whosoever is ^"born of God doth not com- 
mit sin; for 'his seed remaineth in him: and 
he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 

10 In this the children of God are manifest, 
and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth 
not righteousness is not of God, neither he 
that loveth not hi6 brother. 

11 5 For this is the message that ye heard 
from the beginning, that we should love one 
another. 

12 Not as m Cain, who was of that wicked 
one, and slew his brother. And wherefore 
slew he him? ''Because his own works were 
evil, and his brother's righteous. 



n. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what 
good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them w.lh 
their eyes? (Ecc. 5:11.) 

o. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath 
appointed heir cf all things, by whom also he made the worlds. (Heb. 
1:2.) 

p. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not 
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be 
revealed^ the son of perdition. (II Thess. 2:3.) 

q. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall 
deceive many. (Mat. 24:5.) 

r. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this 
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that 
nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (II Tim. 2:19.) 

s. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are 
approved may be made manifest among you. (I Cor. 11:19.) 

t. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon 
the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing 
upon thine offspring. (Is. 44:3.) 

u. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, 
and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will 
they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of 
strangers. (Jno. 10:4, 5.) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 
he will guide you into all truth: for he sh:.ll not speak of himself; but 
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you 
things to come. (Jno. 16:13.) Evil men understand not judgment: but 
they that seek the Lord understand all things. (Prov. 28:5.) He an- 
swered and said unto them. Because it is given unto you to know the 
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (Mat. 
13:11.) But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is 
judged of no man. (I Cor. 2:15.) 

v. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and 
from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. (Jno. 14:7.) 

w. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is 
the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should 
walk in it. (II Jno. 6.) 

x. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will 
''eep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto 
him, and make our abode with him. (Jno. 14:23.) 

y. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true 
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Jno. 17:3.) 

z. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of 
Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their 
mind, and write them in their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and 
they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his 
neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all 
shall know me, from the least to the greatest. (Heb. 8:10, 11.) 

aa. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father 
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things 
to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jno. 14:26.) 



Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which 
is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us 
of God. (I Cor. 2:12.) But as touching brotherly love ye need not that 
I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one an- 
other. (I Thess. 4:9.) 

bb. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, thaf. 
thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear 
the voice of his mouth. (Acts 22:14.) 

Chapter 3. 

a. But as many as receive him, to them gave he power to become 
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (Jno. 1:12.) 

b. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated 
you. (Jno. 15:18.) O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: 
but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 
(Jno. 17:25.) 

c. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither 
have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared 
for them that love him. (I Cor. 2:9.) 

d. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be 
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. (Ps. 17:15.) 

e. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: 
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 
(I Cor. 13:12.) 

f. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for 
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with 
his stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5.) So Christ was once offered to bear 
the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the 
second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb. 9:28.) 

g. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that 
we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (II Cor. 5:21.) 

h. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the 
doers of the law shall be justified.) (Rom. 2:13.) 

i. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye 
will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the 
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he 
speaketh of his own: fcr he is a liar, and the father of it. (Jno. 8:44.) 

j. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between 
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his 
heel. (Gen. 3:15.) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning 
fall from heaven. (Lu. 10:18.) 

k. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he 
that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth 
him not. (I Jno. 5:18.) 

1. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, 
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (I Pet. 1:23.) 

m. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the 
fatlings thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offer- 
ing. (Gen. 4:4.) 

n. They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries: because 
I follow the thing that good is. (Ps. 38:20.) The blood-thirsty hate the

13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world 
hate you. 

14 We know that we have passed from death 
unto life, because we love the brethren. He 
that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 

15 Whosoever "hateth his brother is a mur- 
derer: and ye know that ?no murderer hath 
eternal life abiding in him. 

16 Hereby ''perceive we the love of God, be- 
cause he laid down his life for us: and we 
ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 

17 But 'whoso hath this world's good, and 
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up 
his bowels of compassion from him, how dwell- 
eth the love of God in him? 

18 My little children, let us not love in word, 
neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 

19 And hereby we know that we are of the 
truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 

20 For if our heart condemn us, God is 
greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 

21 Beloved, s if our heart condemn us not, 
f then have we confidence toward God. 

22 And "whatsoever we ask, we receive of 
him, because we keep his commandments, and 
do 'those things that are pleasing in his sight. 

23 And this is his commandment, That we 
should believe on the name of his Son Je'§us 
Christ, and love one another, as he gave us 
commandment. 

24 And he that keepeth his commandments 
"dwelleth in him, and he in him. And ^hereby 
we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit 
which he hath given us. 

CHAPTER 4. 

He warneth them not to believe all teachers, 

who boast of the Spirit, but to try them. 

1 Beloved, 'believe not every spirit, but try 
the spirits whether they are of God: because 
many false prophets are gone out into the 
world. 

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: a Every 
spirit that confesseth that Je'§us Christ is come 
in the flesh is of God: 

3 And 6 every spirit that confesseth not that 
Je'§us Christ is come in the flesh is not of 
God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, 
whereof ye have heard that it should come; 
and even now already is it in the world. 



Ch. 4. A. D. 90. 



1. In ch. 4, the apostle tells us 
that the test of false prophets is 
that they have not the love of God 
in their hearts, neither do they reveal 
evidence of such love toward man. 



2. In vs. 7-21 the apostle declares 
the one test of the truth of our re- 
ligion to be love. 



3. With that love which seeks 
and desires the highest good and hap- 
piness of every one. 



4. That is, our love is made bold 
by our assurance that the great 
Judge is our friend and that his de- 
sire is to express love and not con- 
demnation toward us. 



4 Ye are of God, little children, and have 
overcome them: because greater is he that is 
in you, than he e that is in the world. 

5 They d are of the world: therefore speak 
they of the world, and c the world heareth 
them. 

6 We are of God: ^he that knoweth God 
heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not 
us. Hereby know we ^the spirit of truth, and 
the spirit of error. 

7 "Beloved, let us love 3 one another: for love 
is of God; and every one that loveth is born of 
God, and knoweth God. 

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for 
''God is love. 

9 In this was manifested the love of God 
toward us, because that God sent his only be- 
gotten Son into the world, that we might live 
through him. 

10 Herein is love, *not that we loved God, 
but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be 
the propitiation for our sins. 

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought 
also to love one another. 

12 No •'man hath seen God at any time. If 
we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and 
his love is perfected in us. 

13 Hereby ''know we that we dwell in him, 
and he in us, because he hath given us of his 
Spirit. 

14 And 'we have seen and do testify that 
the '"Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of 
the world. 

15 Whosoever "shall confess that Je'§us is 
the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he 
in God. 

16 And we have known and believed the love 
that God hath to us. God is love; and he that 
dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in 
him. 

17 Herein is our love 4 made perfect, that 
we may have boldness in the day of judgment: 
"because as he is, so are we in this world. 

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love 
casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. 
He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 

19 We love him, because he first loved us. 

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his 
brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his 



upright: but the just seek his soul. (Prov. 29:10.) But now ye seek to 
kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: 
this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they 
to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 
(Jno. 8:40, 41.) 

0. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt 
not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment; 
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without 
a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to 
his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall 
say. Thou fool! shall be in danger of hell fire. (Mat. 5:21, 22.) 

p. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom 
of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adul- 
terers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. (I Cor. 
6:9.) 

q. But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were 
yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:8.) 

r. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within 
any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou 
shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother. 
(Dt. 15:7.) 

s. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt 
lift up thy face unto God. (Job 22:26.) 

t. Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, 
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies 
washed with pure water. (Heb. 10:22.) 

u. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are 
open unto their cry. (Ps. 34:15.) And all things, whatsoever ye shall 
ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. (Mat. 21:22.) For then shalt 
thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto 
God. (Job 22:26.) Ask, and it shall be given; seek, and ye shall find; 
knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7.) Now we know that 
God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and 
doeth his will, him he heareth. (Jno. 9:31.) 

v. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me 
alone; for I do always those things that please him. (Jno. 8:29.) 

w. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in 
thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that 
thou hast sent me. (Jno. 17:21.) 

x. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the 
^oirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of 
Christ, he is none of his. (Rom. 8:9.) Even the Spirit of truth; whom 
the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: 
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (Jno. 



14:17.) Let not then your good be evil spoken of. (Rom. 14:16.) He 
therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also 
given unto us his holy Spirit. (I Thess. 4:8.) 
Chapter 4. 

a. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by 
the Spirit of God calleth jesus accursed; and that no man can say that 
Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (I Cor. 12:3.) 

b. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not 
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti- 
christ. (II Jno. 7.) 

c. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this 
world be cast out. (Jno. 12:31.) 

d. He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth 
is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is 
above all. (Jno. 3:31.) 

e. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but be- 
cause ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, 
therefore the world hateth you. (Jno. 15:19.) 

f. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them 
not, because ye are not of God. (Jno. 8:47.) 

g. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, be- 
cause it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he 
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (Jno. 14:17.) 

h. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and pass- 
eth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth 
not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. (Mic. 7:18.) 

i. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained 
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should 
remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may 
give it you. (Jno. 15:16.) 

j. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which 
is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (Jno. 1:18.) 

k. At that day ye shall know- that I am in my Father, and ye in 
me, and I in you. (Jno. 14:20.) 

1. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear wit- 
ness, and show unto you that eternal life which was with the Father, 
and was manifested unto us.) (I Jno. 1:2.) 

m. For God sent not h>s Son into the world to condemn the world; 
but that the world through him might be saved. (Jno. 3:17.) 

n. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and 
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, 
thou shalt be saved. (Rom. 10:9.) 

o. And every man that hath this hope in him purifleth himself, even 
as he is pure. (I Jno. 3:3-)

brother whom he hath seen, how can he love 
God whom he hath not seen? 

21 And this commandment Phave we from 
him, That he who loveth God love his brother 
also. 

CHAPTER 5. 
He that loveth God loveth his children, and 

keepeth his commandments. 9 Jesus the 

Son of God, able to save us. 

1 1 Whosoever a believeth that Je'§us is the 
Christ is born of God: and every one that 
loveth him that begat loveth him also that is 
begotten of him. 

2 By this we know that we love the children 
of God, when we love God, and keep his com- 
mandments. 

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep 
6 his commandments: and his commandments 
are not grievous. 

4 For c whatsoever is born of God overcom- 
eth the world: and this is the victory that 
oyercometh the world, even our faith. 

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but 
d he that believeth that Je'sus is the Son of 
God? 

6 This is 2 he that came e by water and blood, 
even Je'sus Christ; not by water only, but by 
water and blood. And fit is the Spirit that 
beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 

7 For ''there are three that bear record in 
heaven, the Father, the ''Word, and the Ho'ly 
Ghost: and these three are one. 

8 And there are three that bear witness in 
earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: 
and these three agree in one. 

9 If we receive *the witness of men, the 
witness of God is greater: for this is the wit- 
ness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath

fects and victory of love.

■>'the witness in himself: he that believeth not 
God hath A 'made him a liar; because he be- 
lieveth not the record that God gave of the 
Son. 

11 And this is the record, that God hath 
given to us eternal life, and this life is in his 
Son. 

12 He 'that hath the Son hath life; and he 
that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 

13 These '"things have I written unto you 
that believe on the name of the Son of God; 
that ye may know "that ye have eternal life, 
and that ye may believe on the name of the 
Son of God. 

14 And this is the confidence that we have 
in him, that, if we ask any thing according to 
his will, he heareth us: 

15 And if we know that he hear us, what- 
soever we ask, we know that we have the pe- 
titions that we desired of him. 

16 If any man see his brother sin a sin 
which is not unto death, he shall ask, and "he 
shall give him life for them that sin not unto 
death. There is a sin unto death: #1 do not 
say that he shall pray for it. 

17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is 
a sin not unto death. 

18 3 We know that whosoever is born of God 
sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God 
keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth 
him not. 

19 And we know that we are of God, and 
the «whole world lieth in wickedness. 

20 And we know that the Son of God is 
come, and r hath given us an understanding, 
s that we may know him that is true, and we 
are in him that is true, even in his Son Je'sus 
Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 

21 Little children, keep yourselves from 
idols. Amen. 



p. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou Shalt love thy 
neighbor, and hate thine enemy. (Mat. 5:43.) Jesus said unto him, Thou 
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, 
and with all thy mind. (Mat. 22:37.) A new commandment I give unto 
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love 
one another. (Jno. 13:34.) 
Chapter 5. •

the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (Jno. 1:12.1 

b. He hath shown thee, man, what is good; and what doth the 
Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk 
humbly with thy God? (Mic. 6:8.) For my yoke is easy, and my bur- 
den is light. (Mat. 11:30.) 

c. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have 
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I 
have overcome the world. (Jno. 16:33.) 

d. But thanks be to God. which giveth us the victory through our 
Lord Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 15:57.) 

e. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forth- 
with came there out blood and water. (Jno. 19:34.) 

f. And when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you 
from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the 
Father, he shall testify of me. (Jno. 15:26.) 

g. Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret 
from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the 
Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me. (Is. 48:16.) 

h. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God. (Jno. 1:1.) 

i. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is 
true. (Jno. 8:17.) 

j. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the 
children of God. {Rom. 8:16.) And because ye are sons, God hath sent 



forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Gal. 
4:6.)

God is true. (Jno. 3:33.)

believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not 
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (Jno. 5:24 ) 

m. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the 
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through 
his name. (Jno. 20:31.)

we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our

and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal 
life which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.) (I Jno.

and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; 
and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept; lest I deal 
with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing 
which is right, like my servant Job. (Job 42:8.)

good. (Jer. 14:11.) I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for 
them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. (Jno. 17:9.)

that the prophets have spoken! (Lu. 24:25.)

THE SECOND EPISTLE OF 



JOHN 



NOTE. — This Second Epistle of John seems to have been written to a Christian lady who was matron in a church in Asia Minor. There were num- 
bers of fi»lse, irreligious, dangerous emissaries of licentious religionisms which the apostle brands as anti-Christ and against whom he feels this Christian lady 
should bt warned, that she might not take them in her house for fear she would become involved in a supposed sympathy with their heresies and immoralities. 
Some authorities maintain that the Greek word "kyria," signifying lady, does not apply to a particular lady, but to the church in general; but for the apostle 
to address a letter to the church, including the pastor, official members and people as a lady is, in the minds of many authorities, a supposition too ludicrous 
to receive serious consideration. 



He exhorteth a certain honourable matron,

love and belief.

4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy chil- 
dren c walking in truth, as we have received 
a commandment from the Father. 

5 And now I beseech thee, 2 lady, not d as 
though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, 
but that which we had from the beginning, 
<that we love one another. 

6 And ''this is love, that we walk after his 
commandments. This 6 is the commandment,

1. The second epistle of John was 
written about the year 90 A. D. from 
Ephesus and addressed to a Christian 
woman supposed to typify the church. 
The purpose of the letter was an ex- 
hortation to Christian love. 



2. Typifying the church. 



3. Grace to cover the sins of man. 



4. In love and not retributive jus- 
tice. 



5. That is, love. 



6. In vs. 7-11 the apostle declares 
the purpose of his letter, that Is, to 
warn the church against deceivers 
who are trying to work themselves 
into favor with the Christians. 



That, #as ye have heard from the beginning, 
ye should walk in it. 

7 "For many deceivers are entered into the 
world, who confess not that Je'§us Christ is 
come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an 
antichrist. 

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those 
things which we have wrought, but that we 
receive a full reward. 

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not 
in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He 
that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath 
both the Father and the Son. 

10 If there come any unto you, and bring 
not this doctrine, receive him not into your 
house, ''neither bid him God speed: 

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is 
'partaker of his evil deeds. 

12 Having many" things to write unto you, I 
would not write with paper and ink: but I 
trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, 
that our joy may be full. 

13 The children of thy elect sister greet 
thee. Amen. 



Ref. II John. 

a. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but 
in deed, and in truth. (I Jno. 3:18.) 

b. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 
(Jno. 8:32.) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the 
knowledge of the truth. (I Tim. 2:4.) 

c. For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of 
the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. (Ill Jno. 3.) 

d. Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old 
commandment which 'ye had from the beginning. The old command- 
ment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. (I Jno. 2:7.) 

e. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have 
loveri you. (Jno. 15:12.) 

f. If ye love me, keep my commandments. (Jno. 14:15.) For this 



is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his command- 
ments are not grievous. (I Jno. 5:3.) 

g. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the 
beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall re- 
main in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 
(I Jno. 2:24.) 

h. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any 
man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idola-

not to eat. (I Cor. 5:11.) But though we, or an angel from heaven, 
preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached 
unto you, let him be accursed. (Gal. 1:8.) A man that is an heretic 
after the first and second admonition reject. (Tit. 3:10.) 

i. Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other 
men's sins: keep thyself pure. (I Tim. 5:22.)

THE THIRD EPISTLE OF 



JOHN 



i 



XOTE. — From this jcpistle it would seem that John had sent forth a number ot missionaries from Ephesns. hearing with them a letter from himself, ad- 
dressed to the church, recommending aid in the mission work. But they were rejected by one of the pastors of Pergamos. viz.. Di.jtrephes. but were enter- 
tained and given aid by a prosperous Christian layman — Gains. Upon their return they made a public report praising the pious liberalitv nf Gaius. When 
going forth on their second journey the apostle sends by them this letter of thanks and gratitude for the past and counsel for what is before. 



1 He commendeth Gains for his piety, 5 and 
hospitality 7 to true preachers : 12 and 
giveth special testimony to the good report 
of Demetrius. 

1 The : elder unto the "wellbeloved Ga'ius, 
whom I love in the truth. 

2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou 
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy 
soul prospereth. 

3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren 
came and testified of the truth that is in thee, 
even as l thou walkest in the truth. 

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that 
my c children walk in' truth. 

5 Beloved, thou doest ^faithfully whatsoever 
thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 

6 Which have borne witness of thy charity 
before the church: whom if thou bring for- 
ward on their journey after a godly sort, thou 
shalt do well: 

7 Because that for his name's sake they 
went forth, f taking nothing of the Gen 'tiles. 



A. D. 90. 



1. The third epistle of John was 
written about the year 90 A. D. from 
Ephesus commending works of use- 
fulness. The apostle declares hos- 
pitality is the fruit of love, and that 
love is the truth: therefore those who 
love according to Christ, live accord- 
ing to the light of his truth. 



Will bring to mind. 



8 We therefore ought to receive such, that 
we might be fellowhelpers to the truth. 

9 I wrote unto the church: but Di-ot 're- 
plies, who loveth to have the preeminence 
among them, receiveth us not. 

10 Wherefore, if I come, I will Remember 
his deeds which he doeth, prating against us 
with malicious words: and not content there- 
with, neither doth he himself receive the breth- 
ren, and forbiddeth them that would, and cast- 
eth them out of the church. 

11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, 
but that which is good. ?He that doeth good 
is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not 
seen God. 

12 De-me'tri-us hath good report of all men, 
and ?of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear 
record; ''and ye know that our record is true. 

13 ; I had many things to write, but I will 
not with ink and pen write unto thee : 

14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and 
we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. 
Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends bv

a. And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught 
Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, 
they rushed with one accord into the theatre. (Acts 19:29.) 

b. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, 
as we have received a commandment from the Father. (II Jno. 4.) 

c. For though ye have ten thousand instrueters in Christ, yet have 
ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through 
the Gospel. (I Cor. 4:15.) 

d. And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, 
whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their 
portion of meat in due season? (La. 13:42.) 

e. Have I committed an o'ffence in abasing myse'f that ye might 
be exalted, because I have preaehtd to you the gospel of God freely? 
(II Cor. 11:7.) 



f. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that 
doeth righteousness is horn of him. (I Jno. 2:29.) Whosoever abideth in 
him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen" him, neither known 
him (6). Whosoever is horn of God doth not commit sin; for his seed 
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (I Jno. 
3:6, 9.) 

g. That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and 
that ye may have lack of nothing. (I Thess. 4:12.) Moreover he must 
have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach 
and a snare of the devil. (I Tim. 3:7.) 

h. This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote 
these things: and we know that his testimony is true. (Jno. 21:24.) 

i. Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with 
paper and ink: hut I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, 
that our joy may he full. (II Jno. 12.) 



IO46 



THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF 



JUDE 



NOTE. — Concerning Jude, the author of this Epistle, there is but little recorded history. He calls himself "the brother of James." James was the 
brother of Jesus, therefore we know there are two epistles written by brothers who were the brothers of Christ. The subject of Jude is sin in the church, 
which the author speaks of as a positive fact. By most authorities it is thought Jude was written later than the Second Epistle of Peter, inasmuch as 'the state 
of things predicted as future is vividly painted by Jude as preseut and existing as a positive fact. 



He exhorteth them to be constant in the pro- 
fession of the faith. 

1 'Jude, the servant of Je'sus Christ, and 
°brother of Jame§, to them that are sanctified 
by God the Father, and preserved in Je'gus 
Christ, and ^called: 

2 2 Mercy <?unto you, and peace, and love, be 
multiplied. 

3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write 
unto you of the common salvation, it was need- 
ful for me to write unto you, and exhort you 
that ye should earnestly contend for the "faith 
which was once delivered unto the saints. 

4 For there are certain men crept in una- 
wares, e who were before of old ordained to this 
condemnation, ungodly men, turning Hhe grace 
of our God into lasciviousness, and ^denying 
the only Lord God, and our Lord Je'sus Christ. 

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, 
though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, 
having saved the people out of the land of 
E'gypt, afterward ''destroyed them that be- 
lieved not. 

6 And "the 'angels which kept not their first 
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath 
reserved in everlasting chains under darkness 
•'unto the judgment of the "great day. 

7 Even as ^'Sod'oni and Go-mor'rha, and the 
cities about them in like manner, giving them- 
selves over to fornication, and going after 
strange flesh, are set forth for an example, 
suffering the "vengeance of eternal fire. 

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile 
the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of 
dignities. 

9 Yet 'Mi'chael the archangel, when con- 
tending with the devil he disputed about the 
body of 7 M6'§e§, m durst not bring against him 
a railing accusation, but said, The "Lord re- 
buke thee. 



A. D. 66. 



1. This letter was written by 

Jude, the brother of our Lord. It 

was written from Judea about the 

year 65. Its subject is sin in the 

church. The author exhorts the 
church to consistency and steadfast 1 
ness in faith. 



2. Mercy, the first of the graces. 

3. That firm and earnest trust and 
confident reliance in the statements 
and promises of God, "the substance 
of things hoped for, the evidence of 
things not seen." 



4. Alluding to the fall of Satan, 
who "abode not in the truth." 



5. That is, though Satan and his 
demons continue to roam on earth, 
God holds their final doom and sub- 
jugation in mind and purpose. 



Eighteous retribution. 



7. That is. some authorities claim 
that Satan disputed with the arch- 
angel over the raising of the body of 
Moses, Satan urging that as Moses 
sinned at Meribah. he should not be 
raised from the dead. Others claim 
that the reference to ' the body of 
Moses alludes to Satan's charge in 
Zeeh. 3:2. "And the Lord said unto 
Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Sa- 
tan; even the Lord that hath chosen 
Jerusalem, rebuke thee; is not this a 
brand plucked out of the fire?" Here 
Satan accuses the Jewish church of 
corruption, because of which he de- 
mands that divine justice be allowed 
to take its course against Israel, but 
is rebuked by the Lord who has cho- 
sen Israel. 



8. That is. have chosen the same 
sin which produced the ruin of Cain, 
viz.. vainglorious pride and hatred of 
the godly. 



10 But these speak evil of those things which 
they know not: but what they know naturally, 
as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt 
themselves. 

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in 
the way of s Cain, and ran greedily after the 
error of Ba'laam for reward, and perished in 
the gainsaying of Co're. 

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, 
when they feast with you, feeding themselves 
without fear : clouds they are without water, 
carried about of winds; trees whose fruit with- 
ereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up 
by the roots; 

13 Raging "waves of the sea, foaming out 
their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is 
reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 

14 And E'noch also, the seventh from Adam, 
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the ^Lord 
cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to 
convince all that are ungodly among them of 
all their ungodly deeds which they have un- 
godly committed, and of all their hard speeches 
which ungodly sinners have spoken against 
him. 

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walk- 
ing after their own lusts; and their mouth 
speaketh great swelling words, having "mien's 
persons in admiration because of advantage. 

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words 
which were spoken before the apostles of our 
Lord Je'sus Christ; 

18 How that they told you there should be 
mockers in the last time, who should walk 
after their own ungodly lusts. 

19 These be they '"who separate themselves, 
sensual, having not the Spirit. 

20 But ye, beloved, ^building up yourselves 



Ref. Jude. 

a. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, 
where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and 
Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and 
Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. (Acts 1:13.) 

b. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, 
and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those 
whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While 
I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that 
thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of 
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled (11, 12). I pray not that 
thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest 
keep them from the evil. (Jno. 17:11, 12, 15.)

The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in 
goodness and truth. (Ex. 34:6.) With the merciful thou wilt show thy- 
self merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. 
(Ps. 18:25.) Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, 
Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause 
mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and 
I will not keep anger for ever. (Jer. 3:12.) Be ye therefore merciful, 
as your Father also is merciful. (Lu. 6:36.) And the publican, stand- 
ing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but 
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Lu. 
18:13.) Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast 
enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my 
prayer. (Ps. 4:1.) Hear me, Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: 
turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. (Ps. 
69:16.) And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented ac- 
cording to the multitude of his mercies. (Ps. 106:45.) 

e. What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power 
known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to 
destruction? (Rom. 9:22.) 

f. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to 
all men. (Tit. 2:11.) 

g. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as 
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) Who is a liar but he 



that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? he is antichrist, that denieth the 
Father and the Son. (I Jno. 2:22.) If we suffer, we shall also reign with 
him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (II Tim. 2:12.) They pro- 
fess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, 
and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. (Tit. 1:16.) 

h. Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were 
numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years 
old and upward, which have murmured against me. (Num. 14:29.) 

i. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down 
to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto 
judgment.' (II Pet. 2:4.) 

j. And the devil, that deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire 
and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall 
be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Rev. 20:10.) 

k. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim- 
stone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. (Gen. 19:24.) 

1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which 
standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of 
trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same 
time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that 
shall be found written in the book. (Dan. 12:1.) And there was war in 
heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the 
dragon fought and his angels. (Rev. 12:7.) 

m. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring 
not railing accusation against them before the Lord. (II Pet. 2:11.)

even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a 
brand plucked out of the fire? (Zech. 3:2.) 

o. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, 
whose waters cast up mire and dirt. (Is. 57:20.)

EXPLANATION OF CHART 

(1) EARLY LIFE. 



Forty days after his birth in Bethlehem-Judea (1) (Lu. 2:1-7) the in- 
fant Christ was taken to Jerusalem (2) and presented before the Lord in 
the temple; here he was recognized as the Messiah of Israel and then 
taken back to Bethlehem, his birthplace. (Lu. 2:22-38.) 

At Bethlehem (1) Christ was visited by the wise men, after which 
he was taken by his earthly parents to Egypt (3) in order to escape the 
murderous decree of Herod the Great. (Mat. 2:1-1S.) 

After the death of King Herod, Christ's earthly parents took him 
from Egypt (J) to Nazareth (5) in Galilee, their early home; here he 
spent his youth, as the son of a carpenter. (Mat. 2:19-23.) 

At the age of 12 the youthful Christ was taken by his parents to 
Jerusalem to attend the Passover. This journey and its attended inci- 
dents are the only recorded events in the early youth of our Saviour. On 
the return journey from Jerusalem (2) Christ was lost by his parents, and 
after three days he was found in the temple discoursing with the doctors 
of the law. (Lu. 2:41-50.) Upon being gently reprimanded by his mother, 
he said, "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" He 
now returned with his parents to Nazareth (5), where he remained for 
IS years (Lu. 2:51), which concluded the first period of his life, "child- 
hood and youth." 

Near the close of the ministry of John the Baptist, Christ leaves 
Nazareth (5) and journeys (6) down the Jordan Valley to Bethabara '7), 
where he was baptized by John and receives from the Father in Heaven 
the testimony of his Sonship. (Mat. 3:13-17.) Immediately after his 
baptism Christ was led by the Spirit into the desert wilderness, where he 
fasted and prayed forty days, at the close of which Satan appeared (81 
and tempted him. (Lu. 4:1-13.) Returning to Bethabara (7) after the 
temptation, Christ received the testimony of John the Baptist (9) (Jno. 



1:15-34), and here met his earliest followers, viz., Andrew and Peter, 
John, Philip and Nathaniel. (Jno. 1:37-50.) 

Christ now leaves Bethabara (7) and journeys up the Jordan Valley 
(10) over the mountains to Cana in Galilee (11); here he was present at 
a wedding and performs his first miracle, turning the water into wine. 
(Jno. 2:1-11.) From Cana he goes with his mother and brethren to Caper- 
naum (12) by the Sea of Galilee, where he remains a short time only. 
(Jno. 2:1-12.) A few days only having elapsed after the wedding feast, 
Christ leaves Capernaum, probably by the way of the Jordan Valley, and 
goes to Jerusalem (2) to attend the first Passover of his ministry (Jno. 
2:13), which begins his early Judean ministry, known as the obscure 
period — some nine months. Here he asserts his authority by driving the 
money changers from the temple. (Jno. 2:14-22.) During this journey he 
held the conversation with Nicodemus, regarding the new birth. (Jno. 
3:1-21.) He remains in Judea for a time, gathering a few of his dis- 
ciples; now receives the testimony of John the Baptist (Jno. 1:15-36), yet 
not making prominent his ministry, as his forerunner. John the Baptist, 
was still preaching. (Jno. 3:1-36.) But soon John the Baptist was cast 
(Lu. 3:20) into prison and his ministry brought to an end. Christ im- 
mediately leaves Judea (14) (Jno. 4:3) to open his own public ministry. 
He goes through Samaria and pauses at Jacob's well (15), where he holds 
the conversation with the woman of Samaria (Jno. 4:4-30), after which 
he goes to Sychar (16), the ancient Shechem, which is close by Jacob's 
well, and remains here two days. He now goes back to Cana, where 
he performed his first miracle, and is received with a great welcome. 
(Jno. 4:44, 45.) He now speaks the words of healing to a nobleman's 
son who was sick at Capernaum. (Jno. 4:46-54.) 



(2) GALILEAN MINISTRY. 



Christ now goes from Cana (11) to Nazareth (5) with the supposed 
intention of commencing his ministry in his old home. But his fellow 
townsmen rejected his message, ridiculed and rebuffed him and sought 
to slay him. (Lu. 4:16-31.) Being rejected in his own city, he goes to 
Capernaum (12), which became the center of his ministry for a little 
more than a year. (Lu. 4:31.) He.re he calls from their work at the sea- 
side his four earliest disciples, Simeon and Andrew, James and John; 
while they had met and had known him before this, now they leave all 
to follow him. (Mat. 4:18-21.) While here he casts out an evil spirit 
(Lu. 4:33-36; Mk. 1:21-28), and also heals the mother of Peter's wife. 
(Lu. 4:38-40; Mk. 1:29-31.) While making Capernaum his headquarters, 
he makes a tour of a few weeks only in Eastern Galilee, probably keep- 
ing near the Sea of Galilee. It was during this tour that he healed a 
leper (Mk. 1:40), upon whose testimony great multitudes were induced 
to follow him, seeking miracles, until he was compelled to go back to 
Capernaum and remain there in retirement for a short season. It was 
during this period at Capernaum that the paralytic was let down through 
the roof by his friends and was made whole by Christ. (Lu. 5:17-26.) It 
was also while here that the publican Matthew was called to be one of 
the disciples. (Lu. 5:17-2S; Mat. 9:9.) During this journey in Galilee 
also occurred the miraculous draught of fishes. (Lu. 5:1-11.) 

It is now the spring of the second year of his ministry, and Christ 
leaves Capernaum and goes to Jerusalem (2) to attend the feast of the 
second Passover, and while there heals the crippled at the pool of 
Bethesda. (Jno. 5:1-47.) On his return from Jerusalem, while walking 
through the fields (19), Christ asserts his authority as "Lord of the Sab- 
bath" by plucking the ears of corn. (Lu. 6:1-5.) On a Sabbath soon 
after his return to Capernaum (12) he healed in the synagogue a man 
with a withered hand. (Lu. 6:6-11.) The opposition of the Pharisees at 
Capernaum (12) now became so great that Christ leaves the city and 
teaches the people by the seashore. (Mk. 3:7-12.) It is during this op- 
position of the Pharisees that Christ ascends the mountain, identified 
probably as Kurun Hattin, and after spending a night in prayer he ap- 
points the twelve apostles (Lu. 6:12-16), and also preaches to the disciples 



and the multitude "the Sermon on the Mount." (Mat. 5-7.) The next 
ten months, from the Sermon on the Mount to the feeding of the five 
thousand, was a period of great opposition of the ruling classes, but of 
continued and ever increasing popularity among the people. Christ still 
continues to make Capernaum the headquarters of his ministry. 

His next tour is of Southern Galilee, extending from Capernaum to 
Nain and return. Before starting on the journey, Christ healed the slave 
of a believing Centurion. (Lu. 7:1-10.) The following day he led his 
disciples southward to Nain, where he healed the widow's son, whom 
they were about to bury. (Lu. 7:11-17.) It was also at Nain, and doubt- 
less at this time, that he received the messengers from John the Bap- 
tist. (Mat. 11:2-19.) On this journey he was entertained by a Pharisee, 
at whose house "a woman who was a sinner" washed his feet. (Lu. 
7:36-50.) He now returns to Capernaum (Mat. 8:1-13), his headquarters, 
and heals a dumb man, a "demoniac, which furnishes the occasion for 
the smothered, seething opposition of the Pharisees to assume an open 
opposition and declare that he performed his miracles by the power of 
the evil spirit. (Lu. 11:14-26; Mat. 12:22-37.) It was during this outburst 
of opposition that his mother and brethren sought to restrain him and 
to induce him to leave for safety. (Lu. 8:19-21; Mat. 12:46-50.) 

As the opposition of the Pharisees was now developing to such an ex- 
tent as to greatly retard any work at Capernaum, he starts on a third 
tour across the Sea of Galilee in Peraea, called the Gadarene voyage 
(from Capernaum and Gergesa and return). Connected with this journey 
are especially associated four events: (a) The open opposition of the 
enemy, forcing Christ to leave the city and to teach in parables by the 
sea. (Mat. 13:1-53.) (b) The journey across the Sea of Galilee, from the 
shore near Capernaum on the northwest to Gergesa on the east. It was 
during this voyage that he stilled the tempest. (Mk. 4:35-41.) (c) At 
Gergesa he healed two demoniacs, driving the demons out of them and 
permitting them to enter a herd of swine, and as a result the people 
besought him to leave their country. (Mk. 5:1-21.) (d) Christ now re- 
turns across the sea to Canernaum and restores to life the daughter of 
Jairus, the ruler. (Lu. 8:41-56; Mk. 5:22-43.) 



(3) FROM CAPERNAUM TO NAZARETH AND RETURN. 



(a) After a short pause at Capernaum with his disciples, Christ starts 
upon his third tour, going to Nazareth in central Galilee and returning, 
which was his second visit to his home city, and was again rejected by 
its people. (Mk. 6:1-6.) (b) He now gives the twelve apostles their 
charge and sends them out to preach. (Mat. 10:5-42; Mk. 6:7-13.) (c) 



While the apostles were absent upon their mission, Christ himself made 
a short tour, preaching through central Galilee. (Mk. 6:6.) (d) Return- 
ing to Capernaum, he receives the report of the twelve apostles (Mk. 
6:30, 31) and also the news of the murder of John the Baptist by King 
Herod. (Mk. 6:14-30.) 



(4) THE RETIREMENT IN BETHSAIDA. 



(a) The multitudes were now following Christ in such great numbers, 
many of them for purposes perhaps not in harmony with his teachings 
and mission, that he was forced to leave Capernaum by sea, crossing 
the Sea of Galilee to Bethsaida, close to the northeast coast in Corea. 
(Mk. 6:31, 32.) (b) So great was the popular interest at this part of his 
ministry that the people hastened after Christ and met him on the op- 
posite shore as he landed (they only having to journey about four miles 
around the head of the lake), so that he was compelled to teach them all 



day, in the afternoon of which he performed the miracle of feeding the 
five thousand. (Mk. 6:30-44.) (c) AfUr the miracle of feeding the five 
thousand, Christ sent his disciples out on the sea (22) and at midnight 
walked across the water to them. (Mk. 6:45-51.) (d) On the following 
morning they landed near Capernaum, where Christ performed many 
miracles (Mk. 6:52-56), after which he returned to Capernaum (12). (e) 
Christ now completes his ministry in Galilee by a discourse in the syna- 
gogue on the Bread of Life. (Jno. 6:25-59.) 



(5) PERIOD OF RETIREMENT. 



During the next period of six months from the feeding of the five 
thousand, one of the closing events of the later Galilean ministry, to the 
Feast of Tabernacles in the fall before the Crucifixion, Christ remained 
in comparative retirement, engaged in teaching his disciples the deeper 
and more essential truths of the Gospel. He is still at Capernaum, fre- 
quently discoursing in the synagogue, and as he engages deeper and 
deeper into the spiritual nature of his kingdom, the opposition of the 
Pharisees and defection of the multitude increased until he with the 
twelve retires from the public. (Jno. 6:60-71.) 

He goes from Capernaum (12), then to Phoenicia (23), probably not 
passing beyond the frontier coast, Tyre and Sidon. Here he restores 
the demoniac daughter of a Syro-Phoenician woman (Mk. 7:24-30.) 

In Tyre and Sidon the crowds gather around Christ in such numbers 
that he is again forced to cross the Sea of Galilee and seek seclusion in 
Ephphatha (24) to get the quiet necessary to instruct his disciples as 
they should be taught before his death. Ephphatha (24) is southeast of 
the Sea of Galilee. (Mk. 7:31.) Here he performs two miracles, restor- 
ing the deaf stammerer (Mk. 7:31-37), and then journeying nearer the 
coast of the sea (25), feeds the four thousand. (Mk. 8:1-9.) 



He now goes to Dalmanutha (26) in Galilee on the west coast of the 
Sea of Galilee. Here he was met by the Pharisees with their clamoring 
and unbelieving, demanding signs of him. (Mk. 8:10-13.) 

But instead he again enters his ship and sails northward across the 
sea to Bethsaida (21), where he heals a blind man, who saw "men as 
trees walking." (Mk. 8:22-26.) 

From here he again pursues his way up the Jordan to Ceserea- 
Philippi (22). At Mt. Hermon (27) he paused several days and here oc- 
curred Peter's confession, "Thou art the Christ." (Mat. 16:13-21.) In 
the same discourse he also foretells his death (Mat. 16:21), which is im- 
mediately followed by Peter's rebuking the Saviour, saying, "This shall 
not be unto thee." (Mat. 16:22-28.) 

Near here (28) occurs the Transfiguration. (Mat. 17:1-13.) Immedi- 
ately after the Transfiguration he was met (29) by a certain man plead- 
ing for the restoration of his son (Mat. 17:14-18), after which he again 
foretold his death. (Mat. 17:22, 23.) From here Christ journeys back 
to Capernaum (12) for the last time, keeping himself in retirement, 
constantly teaching his disciples, especially impressing upon them the 
lesson of humility, from "The child in the midst." (Mk. 9:30-35.)

3APTISM OF CHRIST 
MATT. 3. 1 3-1 7 



JESUS' PERIOD OF PUBLIC FAVOR 



FROM DECEMBER 27, TO NOVEMBER 29. 



(6) PERIOD OF JUDEAN MINISTRY. 



The nexx journey, from the Feast o£ Tabernacles to the Feast of 
Dedication, extended over about three months. Christ now leaves Ca- 
pernaum (12) and forever bids farewell to Galilee. He is on the jour- 
ney to Jerusalem (2), but pauses (30) to converse with the (30) "Three 
Aspirants" (Lu. 9:57-62); teaching the duty of absolute devotion to 
work. Near the border of Samaria, perhaps at the village Engennim 
(31), he was rejected by the Samaritan, where his disciples desired to 
call down fire from heaven as Elias had done. (Lu. 9:52-56.) He con- 
tinued his journey, and while still in Samaria (32) met and healed the 
ten lepers, of whom but one returned to give thanks. (Lu. 17:12-19.) 
After this miracle he again resumed his journey to Bethany (33), going 



to the home of Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha. It was 
at this time that the Saviour reminded Martha of her undue solicita- 
tion concerning worldly cares, while Mary was seeking "that good 
part." (Lu. 10:38-42.) From here Christ proceeds to Jerusalem (2) 
to the Feast of Tabernacles, when he gave the teachings in Jno. 7-10, 
and it was at this time that he restored the blind man at the pool of 
Siloam. (Jno. 9:1-14.) At the Feast of Dedication his teachings again 
created so much opposition that to continue his work he left the city, 
going northeast across the Jordan to Bethabara in Peraea, and there 
prepared for the tour in Peraea, which was to be the last journey be- 
fore the Passion Week. 



(7) PERIOD OF PERAEAN MINISTRY. 



This period extends from the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem to 
the anointing at Bethany (33), a period of four months, extending up to 
six days before the Crucifixion. While at Bethabara (7) before start- 
ing on the journey, Christ sends out the 70 to proclaim his coming in 
the Peraean village. (Lu. 10-16.) At this time, hearing of the sickness 
of Lazarus, he goes to Bethany (33) and raises Lazarus from the dead, 
the miracle which causes the Jewish leaders to formally determine to 
put Christ to death (Jno. 11), but the hour had not yet come for Christ 
to die, therefore he enters into seclusion in the village of Bphraim (34), 
a wilderness village north of Jerusalem, overlooking the Jordan Valley. 
At this place several weeks were spent supposedly in instructing the 
twelve; after which, descending the mountains, Christ crosses the Jor- 
dan Valley northeastward and enters the province of Peraea at Ramoth- 
Gilead (35); this journey was characterized as a ministry of teaching 
rather than miracles, and is mainly related by Luke, the chief events 
being: 

(a) The healing of the woman bent by infirmity and the man with 
dropsy, whom he healed on the Sabbath. (Lu. 13:10-17; 14:1-6.) 



(b) The seven great parables, including the Prodigal Son. (Jno. 
14:1G.) 

(c) The blessing of little children. (Lu. 18:15-17; Mk. 10:13-16.) 

(d) The questions of the rich young ruler and Jesus' answer, "Sell 
all that thou hast." (Lu. 18:18-30; Mat. 19:16-30.) 

(e) The contentions of James and John as to who should be first 
In the kingdom of Christ. (Mat. 20:20-28.) 

During this journey Christ again foretells his death to the apostles. 
(Mat 20:17-19.) Christ has now reached Jericho (36) on his way back 
to Bethany, his last journey to Jerusalem. At Jericho (36) the following 
events take place at this time: 

(a) The healing of Bartimaeus, who met the Saviour at the gates of 
Jericho. (Lu. 18:35-43; Mat. 20:29-34.) 

(b) Christ visits the house of Zaccheus the publican. (Lu. 19:2-14.) 

(c) From Jericho he goes to Bethany (33), and here occurs the 
anointing by Mary on the evening of Saturday before the Passover. 
(Jno. 12:1-8.) 



(8) PASSION WEEK. 



While the period of the Passion embraces only one week, viz., from 
the anointing by Mary to the death of Christ on the cross, yet its 
events are so minutely detailed by the apostles as to occupy almost 
one-third of the entire Gospels. If the whole life of Christ had been 
written as minutely, it would fill about 75 volumes as large as the 
Bible. 

All the events of Passion Week occurred in or immediately surround- 
ing Jerusalem. Each of the three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- 
day, Christ made a journey from Bethany to the temple and back again. 

First, Sunday, April 2nd, The Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem. 
(Mat. 21:1-11; Lu. 19:29-44; Mk. 11:1-11.) During the second journey 
on Monday, April 3rd, occurred The Cursing of the Fig Tree (Mk. 11: 
12-14), and The Second Cleansing of the Temple. (Mk. 11:15-18.) During 
the third, on Tuesday, April 4th, occurred The Last Teachings of Christ 
to the People and Rulers in the Temple and to the Twelve Apostles on 
the Mount of Olives (Mat. 21:25); The Fig Tree Withered (Mk. 11:20-26); 
The Widow's Two Mites (Lu. 21:1-4); Discourses on the End of the 
World (Lu. 21:5-36); Conspiracy of the Chief Priests and Judas (Lu. 
22:1-6.) 

Wednesday, April 5th, Jesus remained in retirement at Bethany, 
no event being recorded of that day. Thursday, April 6th, The Last 
Supper (Jno. 13-17); Christ's Farewell Discourses (Lu. 22:31-36); Christ's 
Intercessary Prayer (Jno. 17); The arrest (Mat. 26:36-56); Jesus taken 
to the house of Annas (Jno. 18:13-15); Jesus taken to the house of 
Caiaphas (Jno. 18:16-28); Jesus before the Roman Procurator (Jno. 18: 
28-38); Jesus before Herod (Lu. 23:8-12). 



About midnight of Thursday (Judas being absent) Christ and his 
disciples left the supper room, walking up the Valley of Jehoshaphat 
to the Garden of Gethsemane, where the Agony of the, Garden occurred 
and where he was arrested, led by Judas. (Mat. 26:36-56.) 

Christ was now subjected to many disgraceful indignities. First he 
was taken to the house of Annas. (Jno. 18:13-15.) After a brief ex- 
amination here, he was taken before Caiaphas for the formal mock trial 
before the Sanhedrin, where he was condemned' by the rulers and 
mocked by everyone. (Jno. 1S:16-2S.) Next he was taken before Pilate 
in the place of judgment, where occurred the examination by Pilate 
and the attempt to release him. (Jno. 18:28-38.) But Pilate, failing to 
get the consent of the public mob for the release of Jesus and wishing 
to avoid the responsibility of condemning him, sent him to Herod, 
where Christ was again mocked and returned to Pilate. (Lu. 23:8-12.) 
Finally, on Friday, the weak Pilate being no longer able to oppose the 
public rabble, issued the order for the Crucifixion. (Mat. 27; Jno. 19.) 

Christ was now led forth, perhaps by the street called Via Dolorosa, 
to Golgotha or Calvary, outside of the walls of the city. On this jour- 
ney he bore his own cross. For six hours he hung upon the cross and 
at the hour of the afternoon sacrifice he gave his last cry and died. A 
few hours afterward he was laid in the tomb of Joseph, which was 
near at hand. (Jno. 19:17-42.) 

On Saturday, April Sth, occurred the long and vigil watch on the 
part of the sorrowful friends, solicitous lest his body would be stolen 
and the orophecv that he should rise again the third day not be ful- 
filled. (Mat. 27:62-66.) 



(9) PERIOD OF THE RESURRECTION. 



During the forty days which elapsed between the hour of the Resur- 
rection and the Ascension of Christ, no tracing of journeys can be 
made, as his spirit-body moved from place to place at its will. 

During this period there are ten recorded appearances of Christ, five 
of which occurred on the day of the Resurrection, the first Easter Sun- 
day, viz.: Easter morning to Mary Magdalene, after the angel had 
announced to the other women that Christ was alive. (Jno. 20:1-18.) 
Second, at Jerusalem, to the other women soon after the appearance 
to Magdalene. The women were greeted with the words, "All hail." 
(Mat. 28:1-10.) Third, on the road to Emmaus, supposed to be about 
four miles 'northwest of Jerusalem, Easter afternoon, to two disciples 
(not the apostles). To these disciples he reveals the Scriptures con- 
cerning himself. (Lu. 24:13-35.) Fourth, the appearance on Easter aft- 
ernoon to Peter (Lu. 24:34), there being no account more than a mere 
mention of this appearance. Fifth, the appearance to the ten disciples 
Easter evening at Jerusalem, Thomas being "absent. (Jno. 20:19-25.) 
The sixth appearance occurred about a week after the Resurrection, to 



the eleven apostles, Thomas being present and tenderly rebuked for his 
lack of faith. (Jno. 20:26-29.) The fifth and sixth appearances are sup- 
posed to have taken place in the room of the Last Supper on Mt. Zion. 
Seventh, the appearance to the seven apostles near the Sea of Galilee. 
Here Peter received his new commission. (Jno. 21:1-23.) This is the third 
appearance to the disciples. (Jno. 21:14.) Eighth, to the 500 on the 
mountains in Galilee, by many supposed to be Kurun Hattin, the place 
of the Sermon on the Mount. At this appearance Christ gave his final 
commands. (Mat. 28:16-20;. I Cor. 15:6.) Ninth, to James, the brother 
of Christ (I Cor. 15:7), there being only a mere mention of this ap- 
pearance. Tenth, near Bethany, Christ appeared to the eleven apostles 
forty days after the Resurrection. At this appearance he gave them his 
last charge and with hands outstretched, pronouncing a blessing upon 
mankind, as the benediction of the New Dispensation, he ascended to 
heaven (Lu. 24:50-53), from whence he has promised in Acts 1:9-12 to 
come again to earth. 



THE REVELATION 

OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE 



NOTE. — Revelation completes the volume of the Holy Scriptures and is called "the last book of grace." We are to look for no further revelations 
from heaven till Christ himself shall come. Instead of a series of prophets scattered along the course of time, from the New Dispensation to the second 
coming of Christ, we have one prophet on the lone island of Patmos, given a prophetic glimpse of time and eternity. He, John, gives us one prophecy cov- 
ering the entire period. How appropriate it seems that this prophecy, the last hook of inspiration, should be written by John, the last survivor of the 
apostles, win. was likewise the author of the last of the Gospels, and perhaps the last of the Epistles. As Revelation covers a period of prophecy of a dura- 
tion no man knows; as it is a prophecy concerning the final adjustment of matters on the earth; of the binding of Satan and easting him into the bottomless 
pit; of the passing away of the old earth and the old heaven and the substitution of a new earth and a new heaven; of the opening of the Book of Life 
liy the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; and of the execution of final judgments; it is for these reasons the most mysterious and least understood 
uf any of the books of the Bible, nay, of all the others together. As the angel commanded John not to write the interpretation of what he had seen, that 
no man might know until the last day, it is not therefore for man to know the full significance and interpretation of all the symbols of Revelation. 
As God the Father is infinitely superior to man in knowledge, so must be, at least, a part of his teachings, which are descriptive of all things created 
and of the future which the Father holds in store for his children; else he could not have prepared for them beyond the power of man, as whatsoever man 
can comprehend, he can produce. It is not therefore any marvel that Revelation, the dim glimpse furnished man of that great future, is so mysterious and 
so incomprehensible. Sutliceth it that all who read and study this book may do it with that pure and reverential spirit, and sincere desire of the heart 
that when the purpose of life for them is transferred from earthly scenes and boundaries to the home beyond, amidst the scenes of which they long to 
know, then for ages, with all limitations removed, they can, under the tutorage of heaven, unravel the mysteries which here to man 'are incomprehensible.

11 Saying, / am Alpha and O'me-gd, the' 
first and the last: and, What thou seest, write 
in a book, and send it unto the seven "churches 
which are in A'§id; unto Eph'e-sus, and unto 
Smyr'nd, and unto Per'ga-mos, and unto Thy- 
a-ti'rd, and unto Sdr'dis, and unto Phil-a-del'- 
phi-d, and unto La-od-i-ge'd. 

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake 
with me. And being turned, "I saw seven 
"golden candlesticks ; 

13 And in the 12 midst of the seven candle- 
sticks *'one like unto the Son of man, clothed 
,( 'with a garment down to the "foot, and girt 
about the paps with a golden girdle.

14 His head and his hairs were white "like 
wool, as white as snow; and his eyes 1G were as 
a flame of fire; 

15 And a his feet like unto fine brass, as if 
they burned in a furnace; and y his voice as the 
sound of many waters. 

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars : 
and *out of his mouth went a sharp 16 twoedged 
sword: 00 and his countenance was as the sun 
shining in his 1T strength. 

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as 
dead. 6 *And he laid his right hand upon me,

the last:

candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven 
churches. 

CHAPTER 2. 

What is commanded to be written to the angels, 

that is, the ministers of the churches. 

1 1 Unto the angel of the church of 'Eph'e- 
sus write; These things saith 3 he that holdeth 
the seven stars in his right hand, ^who walketh 
in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 

2 I "know thy works, and thy labour, and 
thy "patience, and how thou canst not bear 
them which are evil: and *>thou hast tried them 
c which say they are apostles, and are not, and 
hast found them liars: 

3 And hast borne, and hast "patience, and for 
my name's sake ''hast laboured, and hast d not 
fainted. 

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, 
because thou hast left thy s first love.

trating like a flame of fire. 

16. Typical of its penetrating 
power or ability to divide asunder the 
good and evil.

Ch. 2. A. D. 96. 

1. In ch. 2 is given Christ's mes-

15. Everlasting life with Christ. 

16. The third heaven, the imme- 
diate presence of God.

5 Remember therefore from 'whence thou art 
fallen, and repent, and do the "first works; 
e or else I u ivill come unto thee quickly, and will 
"remove thy candlestick out of his place, ex- 
cept thou repent. 

6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest "the 
deeds of the Nic-o-la'i-tanes, which I also 
hate. 

7 fHe that hath an "ear, let him hear what 
the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that 
overcometh will I give sto eat of Hhe tree of 
"life, which is in the midst of the "paradise of 
God. 

8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyr'- 
nd write; These things saith the first and the 
last, which was dead, and is alive; 

9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and 
poverty, (but thou i art "rich) and I know the 
^blasphemy of Uhem which say they are Jews, 
and are not, but are the synagogue of Sa'tan. 

10 Fear k none of "those things which thou 
shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some 
of you into prison, that ye may be w tried; and 
ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou 
'faithful unto death, and I will give thee m a 
crown of life. 

11 He that hath an "ear, let him hear what 
the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that 
overcometh shall not be hurt of the n second 
21 death. 

12 And to the angel of the church in Per'ga- 
mos write; These things saith he "which hath 
the sharp sword with two edges; 

13 / know thy works, and where thou dwell- 
est, even where Sd'tan's seat is: and thou 
I'holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my 
faith, even in those days wherein An'ti-pas was 
my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, 
'iwhere Sa'tan dwelleth. 

14 But I have a few things against thee, be- 
cause thou hast there them that hold the doc- 
trine of r Ba'laam, who taught Ba'ldc to cast a

to eat things sacrificed unto idols, f and to com- 
mit fornication. 



in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a 
multitude. (Dan. 10:5, 6.) 

x. [The feet of the four living creatures] sparkled like the color of 
Durnished brass. (Bz. 1:7.) 

y. Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the 
east: and his voice was like the noise of many waters. (Bz. 43:2.) 

z. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword. (Is. 49:2.) And 
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the 
word of God. (Bph. 6:17.) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, 
and sharper than any two-edged sword. (Heb. 4:12.) 

aa. At nrid-day, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above 
the brightness of the sun. (Acts 26:13.) 

bb. Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my 
face towa'rdthe ground: but he touched me," and set me upright. (Dan. 
8:18.) 

cc. I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he. (Is. 41:4.) 
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of 
hosts"; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no 
God. (Is. 44:6.) 

dd. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; 
death hath no more dominion over him. (Rom. 6:9.) 

ee. Unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. (Ps. 68:20.) 

ff. The priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek 
the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. 
(Mai. 2:7.) 

Chapter 2. 

a. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way 
of the ungodly shall perish. (Ps. 1:6.) 

b. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they 
are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 
(I Jno. 4:1.) 

c. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as 
there shall be false tea'chers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) 

d. And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we 
shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:9.) 

c. They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, 
and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall ren- 
der him the fruits in their seasons (41). Therefore say I unto you, The 
< ingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing 
1 the fruits thereof. 'Mat. 21:41, 43.) What shall therefore the lord 
of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and 
wiil give Hm vineyard unto others. (Mk. 12:9.) But and if that servant 
say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and- shall begin to beat- 
the men-K' 1 1 maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 

The lord ol thai servant will come in a day when he looketh not for 
him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, 
and will appoint him his perl ion wilh Hie unbelievers. (Lu. 12:45, 46.) 



f. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Mat. 11:15.) 

g. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, 
was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and 
yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the 
healing of the nations. (Rev. 22:2.) 

h. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree 
that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in 
the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 
(Gen. 2:9.) She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her; and 
happy is every one that retaineth her. (Prov. 3:18.) The fruit of the 
righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. (Prov. 
11:30.) Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire 
eometh, it is a tree of life. (Prov. 13:12.) A wholesome tongue is a 
tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. (Prov. 
15:4.) 

i. So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich 
toward God. (Lu. 12:21.) 

j. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest 
thy boast of God. (Rom. 2:17.) 

k. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he 
that endureth to the end shall be saved. (Mat. 10:22.) 

1. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 
(Mat. 24:13.) 

m. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is 
tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised 
to them that love him. (Js. 1:12.) 

n. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the 
second death. (Rev. 20:14.) 

o. And he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth 
went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun 
shineth in his strength. (Rev. 1:16.) 

p. Prove all things: hold fast that which is good. (I Thess. 5:21.) 
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in 
faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. (II Tim. 1:13.) But Christ as a 
Son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the con- 
fidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. (Heb. 3:6.) 
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is 
faithful that promised. (Heb. 10:23.) 

q. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew 
not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 
(Dt. 32:17.) 

r. Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel 
of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, 
and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. (Num. 
31:16.) It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to 
send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul. (Acts 
15:25.) 

t. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy 
both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, 
and the Lord for the body. (I Cor. 6:13.)

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doc- 
trine of the Nic-o-ld'i-tanes, which thing I hate. 

16 "Repent; or else I will come unto thee 
qvtckly, and v will fight against them with the 
sword of my mouth. 

17 He that hath an ll ear, let him hear what 
the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that 
overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden 
manna, and will give him a ivhite stone, and in 
the stone "a new name written, which no man 
knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thy- 
a-ti'rd write; These things saith the Son of 
God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, 
and his feet are like fine brass; 

19 / know thy works, and charity, and serv- 
ice, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; 
and the last to be more than the first. 

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things 
against thee, because thou sufferest that woman 
xjez'e-bel, which calleth herself a prophetess, 
to teach and to seduce my servants to commit 
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto 
idols. 

21 And I gave her space ,J to repent of her 
fornication; and she repented not. 

22 Behold, I will cast her into a ^bed, and 
them that commit adultery with her into great 
tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 

23 And I will kill her children ivith death; 
and all the churches shall know that I am he 
which searcheth ~the reins and hearts: and aa I 
will give unto every one of you ^according to 
your works. 

24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in 
Thy-a-ti'rd, as many as have not this doctrine, 
and which have not known the ^depths of 



23. The place of her sin shall be 
the place or her punishment. 



24. While saved by faith, the 
measure of the reward is by work. 



25. Christ, the morning star. 



Ch. 3. A. D. 96. 



1. The spirit in its perfection, 
wholeness, completeness. 



2. To recognize your sinful ways 
and reverse the life. 



Sa'tan, as they speak; CC I will put upon you 
none other burden. 

25 But that which ye have already hold fast 
till I come. 

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth M my 
works unto the end, to him will I give power 
over the nations: 

27 And cc he shall rule them with a rod of 
iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be 
broken to shivers: even as I received of my 
Father. 

28 And I will give him the morning a star. 

29 He that hath an "ear, let him hear what 
the Spirit saith unto the churches. 

CHAPTER 3. 
2 The angel of the church of Sardis is re- 
proved, 3 and exhorted to repent. 8 The 
angel of the church of Philadelphia 10 is 
approved for his diligence. 15 The angel of 
Laodicea rebuked. 

1 And unto the angel of the church in Sar'- 
dis. write; These things saith he that hath the 
seven ^Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I 
know thy works, that thou hast a name that 
thou livest, "and art dead. 

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things 
which remain, that are ready to die: for I 
have not found thy works perfect before God. 

3 Remember therefore how thou hast re- 
ceived and heard, and hold fast, and "repent. 
h If therefore thou shalt c not watch, I will come 
on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know 
what hour I will come upon thee. 

4 Thou hast % few names even in Sdr'dis 
ivhich have not e defiled their garments; and 
they shall walk with me Hn white: for they are 
worthy. 



u. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble them- 
selves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; 
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal 
their land. (II Chr. .7:14.) But if ye turn unto me, and keep my com- 
mandments, and do them, though there were of you cast out unto the 
uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and 
will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name 
there. (Neh. 1:9.) Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and 
pursue it. (Ps. 34:14.) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a 
broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Ps. 51:17.) 
Turn ye unto him from whom .the children of Israel have deeply re- 
volted. (Is. 31:6.) Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye 
upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the 
unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he 
will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly par- 
don. (Is. 55:6, 7.) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, 
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Mat. 4:17.) And they 
went out, and preached that men should repent. (Mk. 6:12.) 

v. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall 
consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the bright- 
ness of his coming. (II Thess. 2:8.) But with righteousness shall he 
judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and 
he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath 
of his lips shall he slay the wicked. (Is. 11:4.) And he had in his right 
hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; 
and his countenance was as "the sun shineth in his strength. (Rev. 1:16.) 
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite 
the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth 
the wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God (15). And 
the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, 
which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled 
with their flesh. (Rev. 19:15, 21.) 

w. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many 
crowns; and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself, 
(Rev. 19:12.) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple 
of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the 
name of my God, and the i.ame of the city of my God, which is new 
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I 
will write upon him my new name. (Rev. 3:12.) 

x. And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to 
walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. that he took to wife 
Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and 
served Baal, and worshipped him. (I Ks. 16:31.) 

y. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance 
and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee 
to repentance? (Rom. 2:4.) 

z. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but estab- 
lish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. (Ps. 
7:9.) Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 
(Ps. 26:2.) O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. (Ps. 139:1.) 
But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and 
the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I re- 
vealed my cause. (Jer. 11:20.) And he said unto them, Ye are they 
which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: 
for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the 
sight of God. (Lu. 16:15.) And they prayed, and said. Thou, Lord, 
which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou 
hast chosen. (Acts 1:24.) And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth 
what is the mind of the Spirit, because "he maketh intercession for the 
saints according to the will of God. (Rom. 8:27.) For the Son of man 



shall come in the glory cf his Father with his angels; and then he shall 
reward every man according to his works. (Mat. 16:27.) 

aa. Also unto thee, Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to 
every man according to his work. (Ps. 62:12.) For the Son of man 
shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall 
reward every man according to his works. (Mat. 16:27.) Be not de- 
ceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall 
he also reap. (Gal. 6:7.) Who will render to every man according to his 
deeds. (Rom. 2:6.) So then every one of us shall give account of himself 
to God. (Rom. 14:12.) For we must all appear before the judgment seat 
of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, ac- 
cording to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (II Cor. 5:10.) 
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God: and the books 
were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: 
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the 
books, according to their works. (Rev. 20:12.) 

bb. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not igno- 
rant of his devices. (II Cor. 2:11.) 

cc. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon 
you no greater burden than these necessary things. (Acts 15:28.) 

dd. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, 
that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. (Jno. 6:29.) 

ee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inher- 
itance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou 
shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces 
like a potter's vessel. (Ps. 2:8, 9.) Until the Ancient of days came, and 
judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came 
that the saints possessed the kingdom. (Dan. 7:22.) 
Chapter 3. 

a. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and 
sins. (Eph. 2:1.) 

b. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known 
what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have 
suffered his house to be broken through. (Lu. 12:39.) 

c. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth 
come. But know~ this, that if the goodman of the house had known in 
what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would 
"not have suffered his house to be broken up. (Mat. 24:42, 43.) Watch 
therefore; for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son 
of man cometh. (Mat. 25:13.) Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye 
know not when the time is. (Mk. 13:33.) For yourselves know per- 
fectly, that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night (2). 
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 
(I Thess. 5:2, 6.) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the 
night: in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, 
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the 
works that are therein shall be burnt up. (II Pet. 3:10.) Behold, I 
come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, 
lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. (Rev. 16:15.) 

d. The number of the names together were about an hundred and 
twenty. (Acts 1:15.) 

e. Others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even 
the garment spotted by the flesh. (Jude 23.) 

f. I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, clothed with white robes (9). 
What' are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came 
they? (Rev. 7:9, 13.) And the armies which were in heaven followed 
him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Rev. 
19:14.) Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack nc 
ointment. (Ecc. 9:8.)

John seeth the throne of God in heaven.

was opened in heaven : and the first voice 
which I heard was as it were of a trumpet 
talking with me; which said, Come up hither, 
and I will shew thee things which must be 
hereafter. 

2 And immediately a I was in the spirit : and, 
behold, & a throne was set in heaven, and one 
sat on the throne. 

3 And he that sat was to look upon like a 
jasper and a sardine stone: c and there was a 
rainbow round about the throne, in sight like 
unto an emerald. 

4 And round about the throne were four 
and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw 
four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white 
raiment; and they had on 'their heads crowns 
of gold. 

5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings 
and thunderings and voices: d and there were 
seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, 
which are the seven Spirits of, God. 

6 And before the throne there was e a sea of 
glass like unto crystal : and fin the midst of the 
throne, and round about the throne, were four 
beasts full of eyes before and behind. 

7 "And the ^first beast was like a lion, and

the Father, but by me. (Jno. 14:6.) We are in him that is true, even 
in bis Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (I Jno. 
5:20.)

12:5, 6.)

the night. (Song 5:2.) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the

had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was 
like a flying eagle. 

8 And the four beasts had each of them 7i six 
wings about him; and they were full of eyes 
within: and they rest not day and night, say- 
ing, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, 
which was, and is, and is to come. 

9 And when those beasts give glory and 
honour and thanks to him that sat on the 
throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 

10 The four and twenty elders fall down be- 
fore him that sat on the throne, and worship 
him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast 
their crowns before the throne, saying,

and honour and power: for thou hast created 
all things, and for thy pleasure they are and 
were created.

and confess that he redeemed them with his 
blood. 

1 'And I saw in the right hand of him that 
sat on the throne 2 a book "written within and 
on the backside, sealed with 6 seven seals. 

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with 
a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, 
and to loose the seals thereof? 

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, 
neither under the earth, was able c to open the 
book, neither to look thereon. 

4 And I wept much, because no man was 
found worthy to open and to read the book, 
neither to look thereon. 

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep 
not : behold, d the Lion of the tribe of Ju'da, e the 
Root of Da'vid, hath ^'prevailed to open the 
book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 

6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the J midst of the

slain, having seven horns and seven ''eyes, which

7 And he came and took the 5 book out of the 
right hand of him tha.t sat upon the throne. 

8 'And when he had taken the book, the four 
beasts and four and twenty elders fell down be- 
fore the Lamb, having every one of them harps, 
and golden vials full of i7 odours, which are the 
prayers of saints. 

9 And they sung is. new song, saying, Thou 
art worthy to take the book, and to open the 
seals thereof : for thou wast slain, and hast fc re- 
deemed us to God by thy blood out of every 
kindred, and z tongue, and people, and nation; 

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and 
priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of 
many angels round about the throne and the 
beasts and the elders : and the number of them 
was '"ten thousand times ten thousand, and 
thousands of thousands; 

12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the 
Lamb that was slain to receive power, and 
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, 
and glory, and blessing. 

13 And "every creature which is in heaven, 
and on the earth, and under the earth, and 
such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, 
heard I saying, "Blessing, and honour, and 
glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth 
upon the ^throne, and unto the Lamb for ever 
and ever. 

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And 
the four and twenty elders fell down and wor- 
shipped him that liveth for ever and ever. 

CHAPTER 6. 
The opening of the seals in order. 

1 *And I saw when the Lamb opened one of 
the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of 
thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come 
and see. 

2 And I saw, and behold "a 2 white horse: 
and ^he that sat on him had a bow; and c a 
crown was given unto him: and he went forth 
conquering, and to conquer.

Chapter 5. 

a. And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, 
a roll of a book was therein. (Ez. 2:9.)

rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law- 
giver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the 
gathering of the people be. (Gen. 49:9, 10.) For it is evident that our 
Lord sprang out of Judah. (Heb. 7:14.) 

e. There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a 
Branch shall grow out of his roots (1). In that day there shall be a 
root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people. (Is. 11:1, 10.)

seven: they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through 
the whole earth. (Zech. 4:10.) 

i. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the lifting 
up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. (Ps. 141:2.) And another angel 
came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given 
unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all 
saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the 
smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascend- 
ed up before God out of the angel's hand. (Rev, 8:3, 4.) 

j. He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God. 
(Ps. 40:3.) And they sung as it were a song before the throne, and be- 
fore the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song 
but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed 
from the earth. (Rev. 14:3.) Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his 
praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all 
that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. (Is. 42:10.) 

k. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as 
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. (II Pet. 2:1.) Take heed therefore 
unto yourselves, and to all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost 
hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath 



purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28.) Being justified freely by 
his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Rom. 3:24.)

redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the 
riches of his grace. (Eph. 1:7.) In whom we have redemption through 
his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. (Col. 1:14.) Neither by the 
blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into 
the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Heb. 9:12.) 
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible 
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by 
tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as 
of a lamb without blemish and without spot. (I Pet. 1:18, 19.) But if we 
walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with 
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all 
sin. (I Jno. 1:7.)

languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and 
whom he would he kept alive, and whom he would he set up, and whom 
he would he put down. (Dan. 5:19.) 

m. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of

68:17.) Thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand 
times ten thousand stood before him. (Dan. 7:10.) To an innumerable 
company of angels. (Heb. 12:22.) 

n. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in 
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. (Phil. 2:10.) 

o. Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all 
ages, world without end. Amen. (Eph. 3:21,) 

p. That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the 
Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which 
hath sent him. (Jno. 5:23.) 

Chapter 6. 

a. In the third chariot white horses. (Zech. 6:3.) I saw heaven 
opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called 
Faithful and True. (Rev. 19:11.) 

b. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Most Mighty, with thy glory 
and thy majesty. And in thy majesty ride prosperously, because of 
truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach 
thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the 
king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. (Ps. 45:3-5.) 

c. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud 
one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, 
and in his hand a sharp sickle. (Rev. 14:14.)

3 And when he had opened the second seal, 
I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 

4 And there went out another horse that 
was 3 red: and power was -given to him that sat 
thereon to take peace from the earth, and that 
they should kill one another: and there was 
given unto him a great sword. 

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I 
heard the third beast say, Come and see. And 
I beheld, and lo a 4 black horse; and he that sat 
on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the 
four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a 
penny, and three measures of barley for a 
penny; and d see thou hurt not the oil and the 
wine. 

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I 
heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come 
and see. 

8 And I looked, and behold a 5 pale horse: 
and his name that sat on him was Death, and 
Hell followed with him. And power was given 
unto them over the fourth part of the earth, 
c to kill with sword, and ''with hunger, and 
with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I 
saw under #the altar the ''souls of them that 
were slain for the word of God, and for the 
'testimony which they held: 

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 
■'How "long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou 
not judge and avenge our blood on them that 
dwell on the earth? 

11 And white robes were given unto every 
one of them; and it was said unto them, ^that 
they should rest yet for a little season, until 
their fellowservants also and their brethren, 
that should be killed as they were, should be 
fulfilled. 

12 And I beheld when he had opened the 
sixth seal, and, 2 lo, there was a great earth- 
quake; and the '"sun became black as sack- 
cloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the 
earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely 
figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 

14 And the "heaven departed as a scroll 
when it is rolled together; and "every moun-

Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him

17 For the great day lot his wrath is come; 
and who shall be able to stand? 

CHAPTER 7. 
3 An angel sealeth the servants of God in their 
foreheads. 4 The number of them that were 
sealed. 

1 *And after these things I saw four angels 
"standing on the four corners of the earth, 
'^holding the four winds of the earth, that c the 
wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the 
sea, nor on any tree. 

2 And I saw another angel ascending from 
the east, having the seal of the living God: and 
he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to 
whom it was given to hurt the earth and the 
sea, 

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, 
nor the trees, till we have sealed the ^servants 
o'f our God e in their foreheads. 

4 And 1 heard the number of them which 
were sealed: and there were sealed an -"hundred, 
and forty and four thousand of all the tribes 
of the children of Is'ra-el. 

5 Of the tribe of Ju'da were sealed twelve 
thousand. Of the tribe of Reu'ben were sealed 
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were 
sealed twelve thousand. 

6 Of the tribe of A'ser were sealed twelve 
thousand. Of the tribe of Nep'tha-lim were 
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Ma- 
nas'se? were sealed twelve thousand.

were sealed twelve thousand. 

8 Of the tribe of Zab'u-lon were sealed

9 2 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multi- 
tude, which no man could number, ''of all na- 
tions, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, 
stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, 
'clothed with white robes, and palms in their 
hands; 

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Sal- 



d. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the 
grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but 
only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 
(Rev. 9:4.) 

e. For thus saith the Lord God; How much more when I send my 
four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and 
the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast? 
(Ez. 14:21.) 

f. I will also send wild beasts among you. (Lev. 26:22.) 

g. The sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns 
of the golden altar which is before God. (Rev. 9:13.) 

h. I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of 
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the 
beast. (Rev. 20:4.). 

i. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor 
of me his prisoner. (II Tim. 1:8.) 

j. Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, 
how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of 
Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and 
ten years? (Zech. 1:12.). 

k. God having provided some better thing for us, that they with- 
out us should not be made perfect. (Heb. 11:40.)

were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. (Rev. 
16:18.) 

m. The sun and the moon shall be darkened. (Joel 3:15.) 

n. And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be 
changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. (Heb. 
i :12.) 

o. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills 
moved lightly. (Jer. 4:24.) And every island fled away, and the moun- 
tains were not found. (Rev. 16:20.) For the mountains shall depart, 
and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, 
neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord 
that hath mercy on thee. (Is. 54:10.) So that the' fishes of the sea, 
and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creep- 
ing things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon 
the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains 
shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall 



shall fall to the ground. (Ez. 3S:20.) The mountains quake at him, 
and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the 
world, and all that dwell therein. (Nah. 1:5.) 

p. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the 
caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his 
majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. (Is. 2:19.) 

q. The day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my 
redeemed is come. (Is. 63:4.) Alas! for that day is great, so that none 
is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble. But he shall be saved 
out of it. (Jer. 30:7.) Alas for the day! for the day of the .bord is at 
hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. (Joel 
1:15.) The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth great- 
ly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry 
there bitterly. (Zeph. 1:14.) 

Chapter 7. 

a. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear 
him, and delivereth them. (Ps. 34:7.) 

b. I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of 
the heaven strove upon the great sea. (Dan. 7:2.) 

c. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt me grass 
of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree. (Rev. 9:4.) 

d. And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, 
through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads 
of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done 
in the midst thereof. (Ez. 9:4.) Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, 
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. (Eph. 4:30.) 

e. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their 
foreheads. (Rev. 22:4.) 

f. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred 
thousand thousands: and I heard the number of them. (Rev. 9:16.) 

g. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and 
with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's 
name written in their foreheads. (Rev. 14:1.) 

h. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take 
the book, and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast slain, and hast 
redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and 
people, and nation. (Rev. 5:9.) 

i. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment.

vation •'to our God ^'which sitteth upon the 
throne, and unto the Lamb. 

11 And 'all the angels stood round about the 
throne, and about the elders and the four 
beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, 
and worshipped God, 

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and 
wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and 
power, and might, be unto our God for ever 
and ever. Amen. 

13 And one of the elders answered, saying 
unto me, What are these which are arrayed 
in white robes? and whence came they? 

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. 
And he said to me, These '"are they which 
came out of great tribulation, and have washed 
"their robes, and made them white in the blood 
of the Lamb. 

15 Therefore 3 are they before the throne of 
God, and serve him day and night in his tem- 
ple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall 
dwell "among them. 

16 They /'shall hunger no more, neither thirst 
any more; '/neither shall the sun light on them, 
nor any heat. 

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of 
the throne 'shall feed them, and shall lead them 
unto living fountains of waters: and God s shall 
wipe away all tears from their eyes. 

CHAPTER 8. 
1 At the opening of the seventh seal, 2 seven 
angels had seven trumpets given them. 6 
Four of them, sound their trumpets, and 
great plagues follow. 

1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, 
there 'was silence in heaven about the space 
of half an hour. 

2 And a I saw the seven angels which stood 
before God; and to them were given seven 
trumpets. 

3 And another *angel came and stood at the 
altar, having a golden censer; and there was 
given unto him c much incense, that he should 
offer it with d the prayers of all saints upon 
the golden altar which was before the throne. 

4 And c the smoke of the incense, which came 
with the prayers of the saints, ascended up be- 
fore God out of the angel's hand. 

5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it 
with fire of the altar, and cast it into the 
earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, 
and lightnings, ''and an earthquake. 



3. Because they have their robes 
washed white in the blood of the 
Lamb. 



Ch. 8. A. D. 96. 



1. When the Lamb opened the sev- 
enth seal, the entire inhabitants ot 
heaven remained silent for half'an 
hour, in contrast to the great dem-

seals. 



2. Thus the divine mercy was 
greater than the divine wrath of jus-

1. The sounding of the trumpet of 
woe. 



2. The depth of perdition. 



3. Thus is indicated that divine 
limitation is placed over the powers 
of evil. 



6 And the seven angels which had the seven 
trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 

7 The first angel sounded, i'and there fol- 
lowed hail and fire mingled with blood, and 
they were cast upon the earth: and the 2 third 
part of ''trees was burnt up, and all green 
grass was burnt up. 

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it 
were a great mountain burning with fire was 
cast into the sea : and the third part of the sea 
became 'blood; 

9 And the third part of the creatures which 
were in the sea, and had life, died; and the 
third part of the ships were destroyed. 

10 And the third angel sounded, and there 
fell a great star from heaven, burning as it 
were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of 
the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 

11 And the name of the star is called 3 Worm- 
wood: and the third part of the waters became 
wormwood; and many men died of the waters, 
because they were made bitter. 

12 And ^the fourth angel sounded, and the 
third part of the sun was smitten, and the 
third part of the moon, and the third part of 
the stars; so as the third part of them was 
darkened, and the day shone not for a third 
part of it, and the night likewise. 

13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying 
through the midst of heaven, saying with a 
loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of 
the earth by reason of the other voices of the 
trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to 
sound! 

CHAPTER 9. 
The sounding of the fifth angel. 

1 And the fifth 'angel sounded, and a I saw a 
star fell from heaven unto the earth: and to 
him was given the key of Hhe 2 bottomless pit. 

2 And he opened the bottomless 2 pit ; and 
there arose a ^smoke out of the pit. as the 
smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the 
air were darkened by reason of the smoke of 
the pit. 

3 And there came out of the smoke ^locusts 
upon the earth: and unto them was given 
power, as the scorpions of the earth have 
power. 

4 And it was commanded "them that they 
should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither 
any green thing, neither any tree; but only 
those men which have not c the seal of God in 
their foreheads. 



j. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy 
people. (Ps. 3:8.) I, even I, am the Lord; and besides me there is no 
Saviour. (Is. 43:11.) 

k. And every creature which is in heaven, and en the earth, and 
under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, 
heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory,, and power, be unto him 
that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. (Rev. 
5:13.) 

1. In the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were 
four beasts, full of eyes before and behind. (Rev. 4:6.) 

m. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to 
continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation 
enter into the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22.) 

n. The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 
(I Jno. 1:7.) 

0. The Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, 
and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining 
of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. 
And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day-time from 
the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and 
from rain. (Is. 4:5, 6.) 

p. They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun 
smite them; for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by 
the springs of water shall he guide them. (Is. 49:10.) 

q. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 
(Ps. 121:6.) 

r. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. (Ps. 23:1.) They 
shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou 
shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. (Ps. 36:8.) 

s. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe 
away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he 
take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 
25:8.) 

Chapter 8. 

a. And the angel answering said unto him. I am Gabriel, that stand 
in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show

the wilderness of mount Sina an Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire

c. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and bath given 
himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling 
savor. (Eph. 5:2.) 

d. The four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the 
Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, 
which are the prayers of saints. (Rev. 5:8.) 

e. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the lifting 
up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. (Ps. 141:2.) 

f. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven 
moved and shook, because he was wroth. (II Sam. 22:8.) 

g. I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I 
will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that 
are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brim- 
stone. (Ez. 38:22.) 

h. The day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is 
proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up, and he shall be 
brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and 
lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan. (Is. 2:12, 13.) 

i. Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury 
upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast. (Ez. 14:19.) 

j. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not 
give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the 
moon shall not cause her light to shine. (Is. 13:10.)

a. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from 
heaven. (Lu. 10:18.)

5 And to them it was given that they should 
not kill them, fhut that they should be tor-

the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a 
man. 

6 And in those days shall men seek death, 
and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, 
and death shall flee from them. 

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like 
unto horses prepared unto battle; ^and on their 
heads were as it were crowns like gold, and 
''their faces were as the faces of men. 

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, 
and 'their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 

9 And they had breastplates, as it were 
breastplates of h;on; and the sound of their 
wings was as the sound of chariots of many 
horses running to battle. 

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, 
and there were stings hi their tails : and their 
power was to hurt men five months. 

11 'And they had a king over them, which is 
the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in 
the He'brew tongue is A-bad'don, but in the 
Greek tongue hath his name A-pdll'yon. 

12 5 One 'woe is past; and, behold, there 
come two woes more hereafter. 

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard 
a voice from the four horns of the golden altar 
which is before God, 

14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the 
trumpet, Loose the four angels which are 
bound 'in the great river Eu-phra'tes. 

15 And the four angels were loosed, which 
were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a 
month, and a year, for to slay the third part 
of men. 

16 And the number of the army '"of the 
horsemen were two ''hundred thousand thou- 
sand: "and I heard the number of them. 

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, 
and them that sat on them, having breastplates 
of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: ''and the 
heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; 
and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke 
and brimstone. 

18 By these three was the third part of men 
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by 
the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

CHAPTER 10. 
1 A strong angel appeareth with a book in hia 
hcuid. 9 John is commanded to take and eat 
the book. 

1 And I saw another mighty angel come 
down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: a and 
a rainbow was upon his head, and 6 his face 
was as it were the sun, and his feet c as pillars 
of fire: 

2 And he had in his hand a little book open : 
''and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his 
left foot on the earth, 

3 \And cried with a loud voice, as when a 
lion roareth : and when he had cried, seven 
c thunders uttered their voices. 

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered 
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard 
a voice from heaven saying unto me, ^Seal up 
those things which the seven thunders uttered, 
and write them not. 

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the 
sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to 
heaven, 

6 And sware by him that ^liveth for ever 
and ever, who created heaven, and the things 
that therein are, and the earth, and the things 
that therein are, and the sea, and the things 
which are therein, that there should be time no 
longer : 

7 But ''in the days of the voice of the sev- 
enth angel, when he shall begin to sound, the 
mystery of God should be finished, as he hath 
declared to his servants the prophets. 

8 And the voice which I heard from heaven 
spake unto me again, and said, Go and take 
the little book which is open in the hand of the 
angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the 
earth. 

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto 
him, Give me the little book. And he said 



the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done 
in the midst thereof. (Ez. 9:4.) Hurt not the eartn, neither the sea, 
nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their 
foreheads. (Rev. 7:3.) 

f. The beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make 
war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (Rev. 11:7.) 

g. Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great 
grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the 
sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they 
are. (Nab.. 3:17.)

selves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; 
and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in 
the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work of

them that worship therein. 

2 But the court which is without the temple

two hundred and threescore days, clothed in 
sackcloth.

as often as they will. 

7 And when they '"shall have finished their 
testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the 
bottomless "pit shall make war against them, 
and shall overcome them, and kill them. 

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the

Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto 
the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat 
that roll. (Ez. 3:1, 2.) 

Chapter 11. 

a. I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with 
a measuring line in his hand. (Zech. 2:1.) 

b. And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; 
hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor. (Num. 23:18.)

away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down

given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded

upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned 
with Christ' a thousand years. (Rev. 20:4.) 

g. .And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, 
See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that 
have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus 
is the spirit of prophecy. (Rev. 19:10.) 

h. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust 
in the mercy of God for ever and ever. (Ps. 52:8.) The Lord called 
thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise 
of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it 
are broken. (Jer. 11:16.) 

i. Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them 
by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that

of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, 
and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from 
heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. Again also he sent unto him 
another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto 
him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. And 
Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire

three days and an half, and shall not suffer 
their dead bodies to be put in graves. 

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall 
rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall 
send gifts one to another; because these two 
prophets tormented them that dwelt on the 
earth. 

11 And after three days and an half 'the 
Spirit of life from God entered into them, and 
they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell 
upon them which saw them. 

12 And they heard a great voice from heavei.- 
saying unto them, Come up hither. s And they 
ascended up to heaven 'in a cloud; and their 
enemies beheld them. 

13 And the same hour was there a great 
earthquake, "and the .tenth part of the city 
fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men 
seven thousand : and the remnant were affright- 
ed, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 

14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the 
third woe cometh quickly. 

15 And the seventh angel sounded ; and there 
'were great voices in heaven, saying, The king-

of our Lord, and of his Christ; "and he shall 
reign for ever and ever.

sat before God on their seats, fell upon their 
faces and worshipped God, 

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord 
God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to 
come; because thou hast taken to thee thy 
great power, and hast reigned. 

18 And the nations were angry, and thy 
wrath is come, ;r and the time of the dead, that 
they should be judged, and that thou shouldest 
give reward unto thy servants the prophets, 
and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, 
small and great; and shouldest destroy them 
which destroy the earth.

ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books 
were opened. (Dan. 7:9, 10.)

CHAPTER 12. 
Of the woman clothed. with the sun. 

1 J And there appeared a great wonder in 
heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the 
moon under her feet, and upon her head a 
crown of twelve stars: 

2 And she being with child cried, travailing 
"in birth, and pained to be delivered. 

3 And there appeared another wonder in 
heaven; and behold b a. great "red dragon, hav- 
ing seven heads and ten horns, and c seven 
crowns upon his heads. 

4 And d his tail drew the third part of the 
stars of heaven, 'and did cast them to the 
earth: and the dragon stood before the woman 
which was ready to be delivered, for to de- 
vour her child as soon as it was born. 

5 And she brought forth a man child, ^who 
was to rule all nations with a rod of iron : and 
her child was caught up unto God, and to his 
throne. 

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, 
where she hath a place prepared of God, that 
they should feed her there a thousand two hun- 
dred and threescore days. 

7 And there was war in heaven: Mi'chael 
#and his angels fought against the ''dragon; 
and the dragon fought and his angels, 

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place 
found any more in heaven. 

9 And 'the great dragon was cast out, 'that 
old serpent, called the Dev'il, and Sa'tan, which 
deceiveth the whole world: /c he was cast out 
into the earth, and his angels were cast out 
with him. 

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in 
heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, 
and the kingdom of our God, and the power 
of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren 
is cast down, 'which accused them before our 
God day and night. 

11 And '"they overcame him by the blood of 
the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; 
"and they loved not their lives unto the death.

dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the 
earth and of the sea ! for the devil is come down 
unto you, having great wrath, because °he 
knoweth that he hath but a short time.

14 And to the woman were given two :; wings 
of a great eagle, that she might fly into the 
wilderness, into her place, where she is nour- 
ished ''for a time, and times, and half a time, 
from the face of the serpent., 

15 And the serpent 'icast out of his mouth 
water as a flood after the woman, that he might 
cause her to be carried away of the flood. 

16 And the earth helped the woman, and 
the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up 
the flood which the dragon cast out of his 
mouth. 

17 And the dragon was wroth with the 
woman, 'and went to make war with the rem- 
nant of her seed, which keep the command- 
ments of God, and have the testimony of Je'gus 
Christ. 

CHAPTER 13. 
A beast riseth out of the sea with seven heads 
and ten horns, to whom the dragon giveth

1 *And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and 
saw a "beast 2 rise up out of the sea, having 
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns 
teri crowns, and upon his heads the name of 
blasphemy. 

2 And 6 the beast which I saw was like unto 
a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a 
bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion : and 
the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, 
and great authority. 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were 
wounded to death; and his deadly wound was 
healed: and c all the world wondered after the 
beast. 

4 And they worshipped 3 the dragon which 
gave power unto the beast: and they wor- 
shipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the 
beast? who is able to make war with him? 

5 And there was given unto him d a mouth 
speaking great things and blasphemies; and 
power was given unto him to continue forty 
4 and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in 5 blasphemy 
against God, to blaspheme his name, e and his 
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

with the saints, and to overcome them: and

b. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I 
saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blas- 
phemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (Rev. 17:3.) 

c. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads 
are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven 
kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and 
when he cometh, he must continue a short space (9, 10). And the ten 
horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, which have received no king- 
dom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. (Rev. 
17:9, 10, 12.) 

d. They had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in 
their tails. (Rev. 9:10.) For thou hast said in thine' heart, I will 
ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I 
will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the 
north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will De like

them in pieces like a potter's vessel. (Ps. 2:9.) 

g. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince 
which standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a 
time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to 
that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every 
one that shall be found written in the book. (Dan. 12:1.)

which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea,

life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Lu. 14:26.)

that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that 
there should be time no longer. (Rev. 10:6.) 

■p. They shall be given into his hand until the time and times and 
the dividing of time. (Dan. 7:25.) 

q. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his 
glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like 
a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. 
(Is. 59:19.)

a. Daniel spake, and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, 
behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea (2). 
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dread-

it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet, 
of it: and it was diversed from all the beasts that were before it; 
and it had ten horns. (Dan. 7:2, 7.) 

b. After "this I beheld, and lo another, like' a leopard, which had 
upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four 
heads; and dominion was given to it. (Dan. 7:6.)

mark in their right hand, or in their fore- 
heads: 

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save 
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, 
"or the number of his name. 

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath un- 
derstanding count the number of the beast: 
for it is the number of a man; and his number 
is Six hundred threescore and six.

great thunder: and I heard the voice of harp- 
ers harping with their harps: 

3 And they sung as it were a new song be- 
fore the throne, and before the four beasts, 
and the elders: and no man could learn that 
song but the hundred and forty and four thou- 
sand, which were redeemed from the earth. 

4 These are they which were not defiled with 
women; c for they are virgins. These are they 
which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. 
These were redeemed from among men, d be- 
ing the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 

5 And c in their mouth was found no guile: 
for fthey are without fault before the throne of 
God. 

6 2 And I saw another angel fly in the midst 
of heaven, ^having the everlasting gospel to 
preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and 
to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and 
people, 

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and 
give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment 
is come : ''and worship him that made heaven, 
and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of 
waters. 

8 And there followed another angel, saying, 
3 Bab'y-lon 'is fallen, is fallen, that great city, 
because she made all nations drink of the wine 
of the wrath of her fornication. 

9 And the third angel followed them, saying 
with a loud voice, If any man worship the 
beast and his image, and receive his mark in 
his forehead, or in his hand, 

10 The same -'shall drink of the wine of the 
wrath of God, which is poured out without 
mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he 
shall be tormented with 7i 'fire and brimstone in 
the presence of the holy angels,, and in the 
presence of the Lamb: 

11 And 'the smoke of their torment ascend- 
eth up for ever and ever: and they have no 
rest day nor night, who worship the beast and 
his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark 
of his name. 

12 Here '"is the patience of the saints: here 
are "they that keep the commandments of God, 
and the faith of Je'§us. 

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying 
unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead "which 
die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith 
the Spirit, Pthat they may rest from their 
labours; and their works do follow them. 

14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud,

and upon the cloud one sat like unto the ^Son

and in his hand a sharp sickle. 

15 And another angel came out of the tem- 
ple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on 
the cloud, Thrust '"in thy sickle, and reap: for 
the time is come for thee to reap; for the har- 
vest s of the earth is ripe. 

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in 
his sickle on the earth; and the earth was 
reaped. 

17 And another angel came out of the tem- 
ple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp 
sickle. 

18 And another angel came out from the 
altar, 'which had power over fire; and cried 
with a loud cry to him that had the sharp 
sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and 
gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; 
for her grapes are fully ripe. 

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into 
the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, 
and cast it into the great winepress of the 
wrath of God. 

20 And "the winepress was trodden without 
"the city, and blood came out of the winepress, 
even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a 
thousand and six hundred furlongs.

gled with fire: and them that had gotten the 
victory over the beast, and over his image, and 
over his mark, and over the number of his

seven angels seven golden vials full of the 
wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 

8 And /L "the temple was filled with smoke from 
the glory of God, and from his power; and 4 no 
man was able to enter into the temple, till the 
seven plagues of the seven, angels were ful- 
filled. 

CHAPTER 16. 
The angels pour out their vials full of wrath. 

1 *And I heard a great voice out of the tem- 
ple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, 
and pour out the vials of the wrath of God 
upon the earth. 

2 And the first went, and poured out his 
vial a upon the 2 earth ; and ''there fell a noisome 
and grievous sore upon the men which had the 
mark of the beast, and upon them which wor- 
shipped his image. 

3 And the second angel poured out his vial 
upon the sea; and c it became as the blood of a 
dead man: d and every living soul died in the 
sea. 

4 And the third angel poured out his vial 
upon the rivers and fountains of waters; ani 
they became blood. 

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, 
'Thou art righteous, Lord, ^which art, and 
wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged 
thus. 

6 For tfthey have shed the blood of saints 
and prophets, and thou hast given them blood 
to drink; for they are worthy. 

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, 
Even so, Lord God Almighty, Hrue and right- 
eous are thy judgments. 

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial 
upon the sun; and power was given unto him 
to scorch men with fire. 

9 And men were scorched with great heat, 
and 'blasphemed the name of God, which hath 
power over these plagues: and they repented 
not to give him glory. 

10 And the 'fifth angel poured out his vial 
upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom 
was full of darkness; and they gnawed their 
tongues for pain, 

11 And 'blasphemed the God of heaven be- 
cause of their pains and their sores, and re- 
pented not of their deeds. 

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial 
upon the great river Eu-phra'fes; and ■'the 



beds, each one walking in his uprightness. (Is. 57:1, 2.) There remain- 
eth therefore a rest to the people of God. (Heb. 4:9.) 

q. I saw in the night visions, and, behoid, one like the Son of man

s. Yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. (Jer. 
51:33.) 

t. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power 
was given unto him to scorch men with fire. (Rev. 16:8.) 

u. I have trodden the wine-press alone; and of the people there

them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, 
and I will stain all my raiment. (Is. 63:3.)

13 And I saw A 'three unclean spirits like 
frogs come out of the mouth of 'the 'dragon,

the mouth of the false 'prophet. 

14 For '"they are the spirits of devils, work- 
ing 7 miracles, "which go forth unto the kings

them to the ^battle of that great day of God

that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, slest 
he *walk naked, and they see his shame. 

16 And he gathered them together into a 
place called in the He'brew tongue Ar-ma-ged'- 
don. 

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial 
into the air; and there came a great voice out 
of the temple of heaven, from the throne, say- 
ing, °It is done. 

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and 
lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, 
such '"as was not since men were upon the 
earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 

19 And "the great city was divided into 
three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: 
and great Bab'y-lon 'came in remembrance be- 
fore God, to give unto her the cup of wine of 
the fierceness of his wrath. 

20 And every island fled away, and the 
mountains were not found. 

21 And there fell upon men a great hail 
out of heaven, every stone about the weight of 
a talent: and men ''blasphemed God because of 
the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof 
was exceeding great. 

CHAPTER 17. 

The woman arrayed in purple and scarlet, with 
a golden cup in her hand, sitteth upon the 
beast. 

1 \A.nd there came "one of the seven angels 
which had the seven vials, and talked with me, 
saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto 
thee the judgment of 'the great 2 whore that 
( 'sitteth upon many waters : 

2 With whom the kings of the earth have 
committed fornication, and d the inhabitants of 
the earth have been made drunk with the wine 
of her fornication. 

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into 
f the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon 
a ^scarlet coloured beast, full of ^names of

the vision of the beast, also the vision

4. Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Per-

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple 
and scarlet colour, and ''decked with gold and 
precious stones and pearls, having a golden 
cup in her hand full of abominations and filthi- 
ness of her fornication: 

5 And upon her forehead was a name writ- 
ten, 'MYSTERY, BAB'Y-LON ^THE GREAT, 
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOM- 
INATIONS OF THE EARTH. 

6 And I saw the woman drunken with the 
blood of the saints, and with the blood of the 
martyrs of Je'sus: and when I saw her, I won- 
dered with great admiration. 

7 3 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore 
didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mys- 
tery of the woman, and of the beast that car- 
rieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten 
horns. 

8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; 
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and 
go into perdition : and they that dwell on the 
earth shall wonder, whose names were not writ- 
ten in the book of life from the foundation of 
the world, when they behold the beast that was, 
and is not, and yet is. 

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. 
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which 
the woman sitteth. 

10 And there are seven kings: five are fall- 
en, and one is, and the other is not yet come; 
and when he cometh, he must continue a short 
space. 

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even 
he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth 
into perdition. 

12 And the ''ten horns which thou sawest are 
ten kings, which have received no kingdom as 
yet; but receive power as kings one hour with 
the beast. 

13 These have 'one mind, and shall give their 
power and strength unto the beast. 

14 m These shall make war with the Lamb, 
and the Lamb shall overcome them: "for he is 
Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they 
that are with him are called, and chosen, and 
faithful. 

15 And he saith unto me, °The waters which 
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, Pare peo- 
ples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest 
upon the beast, ''these shall hate the whore, and 
shall make her desolate 'and naked, and shall

great city, which reigneth over the kings of 
the earth. 

CHAPTER 18. 

2 Babylon is fallen. 20 The saints rejoice for 

the judgments of God upon her. 

1 'And after these "things I saw another 
angel come down from heaven, having great 
power; "and the earth was lightened with his 
glory. 

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, 
saying, ^Bab'y-lon the great is fallen, is fallen, 
and c is become the habitation of devils, and 
the hold of every foul spirit, and a a cage of 
every unclean and hateful bird. 

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of 
the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of 
the earth have committed fornication with her, 
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich 
through the abundance of her delicacies. 

• 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, 
saying, c Come out of her, my people, that ye 
be not 3 partakers of her sins, and that ye re- 
ceive not of her plagues. 

5 For fher sins have reached unto heaven, 
and God hath remembered her iniquities. 

6 ^Reward her even as she rewarded you, 
and double unto her double according to her 
works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to 
her double. 

7 ''How much she hath glorified herself, and 
lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow 
give her: for she saith in her heart,' I sit a 
queen, and am no widow, and shall see no 
sorrow. 

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one 
day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she 
shall be utterly burned with fire: *for strong is 
the Lord God who judgeth her. 

9 And •'the kings of the earth, who have 
committed fornication and lived 'deliciously 
with her, shall ?l 'bewail her, and lament for her, 
when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her tor- 
ment, saying, 'Alas, alas that great city Bab'- 
y-lon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy 
judgment come. 

11 And "'the merchants of the earth shall 
weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth 
their merchandise any more: 

12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and

and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and 
sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, 
and "souls of men. 

14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after 
are departed from thee, and all things which 
were dainty and goodly are departed from 
thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 

15 The merchants of these things, which 
were made rich by her, shall stand afar off 
for the fear of her torment, weeping and wail- 
ing, 

16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, 
that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and 
scarlet, and decked with gold, -and precious 
stones, and pearls! 

17 For in one hour so great riches is come 
to nought. And "every shipmaster, and all the 
company in ships, and sailors, and as many as 
trade by sea, stood afar off, 

18 And ''cried when they saw the smoke of 
her burning, saying, What city is like unto 
this great city! 

19 And ^they cast dust on their heads, and 
cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas 
that great city, wherein were made rich all 
that had ships in the sea by reason of her cost- 
liness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 

20 Rejoice 'over her, thou heaven, and ye 
holy apostles and prophets; for s God hath 
^avenged you on her. 

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like 
a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, say- 
ing, 'Thus with violence shall that great city 
Bab'y-lon be thrown down, and shall be found 
no more at all. 

22 And "the voice of harpers, and musicians, 
and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard 
no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of 
whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any 
more in thee; and the sound of a millstone 
shall be heard no more at all in thee; 

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no 
more at all in thee; and the voice of the bride- 
groom and of the bride shall be heard no more 
at all in thee: for thy merchants were the 
great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries 
were all nations deceived.

d. I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of 
water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord

Flee out of the midst oi Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be

24 And in her was found the blood of proph-

upon the earth. 

CHAPTER 19. 
1 God is praised in heaven for judging the 
great whore, and avenging the blood of his 
saints. 7 The marriage of the Lamb. 10 
The angel will not be worshipped. 

1 a And after these things I heard a great 
voice of much people in heaven, saying, Al-le- 
lu'ia; "Salvation, and glory, and honour, and 
power, unto the Lord our God: 

2 For true and righteous are his judgments: 
for he hath judged the great whore, which did 
corrupt the earth with her fornication, and 
hath# L avenged 6 the blood of his servants at her 
hand. 

3 And again they said, Al-le-lu'ia. And c her 
smoke rose up for ever and ever. - 

4 And d the four and twenty elders and the 
four beasts fell down and worshipped God that 
sat on the throne, saying, f Amen; Al-le-lu'ia. 

5 And the voice came out of the "throne, say- 
ing, ^Praise our God, all ye his servants, and 
ye that fear him, both small and great. 

6 And 01 heard as it were the voice of a 
great multitude, and as the voice of many 
waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, 
saying, Al-le-lu'ia: for the Lord God omnipo- 
tent reigneth. 

7 Let us ''be glad and rejoice, and give hon- 
our to him: for 'the marriage of the Lamb is 
come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 

8 And •'to her was granted that she should 
be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for 
fc the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 

9 And he 4 saith unto me, Write, Blessed 'are 
they which are called unto the marriage sup- 
per of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These 
are the true sayings of God. 

10 And I '"fell at his feet to worship him. 
And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am 
thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren "that 
have the testimony of Je'§us: worship God: 
for the testimony of Je'sus is the spirit of 
prophecy.

white horse; and he that sat upon him was

7 Word of God.

followed him upon white horses, 'clothed in 
fine linen, white and clean. 

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp 
sword, that with it he should smite the nations : 
and "he shall rule them with a rod of iron: 
and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness 
and wrath of Almighty God. 

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his 
thigh a name written, 'KING OF KINGS, 
AND LORD OF LORDS. 

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; 
and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the 
fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come 
and gather yourselves together unto the sup-

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and 
the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty 
men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that 
sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free 
and bond, both small and great. 

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the 
earth, and their armies, gathered together to 
make war against him that sat on the horse, 
and against his army. 

20 And the beast was taken, and with him 
the false prophet that wrought miracles before 
him, with which he deceived them that had re- 
ceived the mark of the beast, and them that 
worshipped his image. These both were cast 
alive into a lake of fire burning with brim- 
stone.

sword of him that sat upon the horse, which 
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the 
fowl= were filled with their flesh.

1 'And a I saw a new heaven and a new 
earth: for the first heaven and the first earth 
were passed away; and there was no more 
6 sea. 

2 _And I John saw c the holy city, new Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, coming down from God out of heaven, 
prepared d as a bride adorned for her husband. 

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven 
saying, Behold, f the tabernacle of God is with 
men, and he will dwell with them, and they 
shall be his people, and God himself shall be 
with them, and be their God. 

4 And ^God shall wipe away all tears from 
their eyes; and i'there shall be no more death, 
''neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there 
be any more pain: for the former things ar: 
passed away. 

5 And 'he that sat upon the throne said, 
Behold, -'I make all things new. And he said 
unto me, Write: for these words are true and 
faithful. 

6 And he_ said unto me, It is done. I am 
Al'pha and O'me-ga, the beginning and the end. 
'T will give unto him that is athirst of the 
fountain of the water of life freely. 

7 He 'that overcometh shall inherit all 
things; and '"I will be his God, and he shall be 
my son. 



c. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; 
and the king sealed it with h,s own signet, and with the signet of his 
lords; that the purnose might not be changed concerning Daniel. (Dan. 
6:17.) 

d. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go 
forth u-to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them 
to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. (Rev. 16:14.) 

e. And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which 
have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in 
the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging 
the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mat. 19:28.) 

f. Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the 
world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest 
matters? (I Cor. 6:2.) . 

g. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar 
the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the tes- 
timony which they held. (Rev. 6:9.) 

h. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, 
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first 
beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Rev. 13:12.) 

i. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he 
also will deny us. (II Tim. 2:12.) 

j. And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for 
thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. (Lu. 14:14.) 
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. (Phil. 
3:11.) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the 
dead in Christ shall rise first. (I Thess. 4:16.) 

k. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and mur- 
derers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, 
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: 
which is the second death. (Rev. 21:8.) 

1. But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call 
you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, 
and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. (Is. 61:6.) 

m. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then 
Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, 
and from walking up and down in it. (Job 1:7.) 

n. Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the 
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. (Ez. 
38:2.) 

o. And he shall pass through Judah: he shall overflow and go over: 
he shall reach even to the neck: and the stretching out of his wings 
shall fill the breadth of thy land. O Immanuel. (Is. 8:8.) 

p. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, 
broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer 
threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was 
found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great 
mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Dan. 2:35.) 

q. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judg- 
ment unto the Son. (Jno. 5:22.) 



r. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand 
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 
(Dan. 7:10.) 

s. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (I Cor. 15:26.) 

Chapter 21. 

a. For, behold, I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the 
former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Is. 65:17.) Nev- 
ertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a 
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (II Pet. 3:13.) 

b. B.ut the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, 
whose waters cast up mire and dirt. (Is. 57:20.) 

c. Awake! awake! put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beauti- 
ful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no 
more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. (Is. 52:1.) 
For thy Maker is thine husband; The Lord of hosts is his name; and thy 
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he 
be called. (Is. 54:5.) 

d. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my 
God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath 
covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh him- 
self with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 
(Is. 61:10.) 

e. What! know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one 
body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (I Cor. 6:16.) 

f. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe 
away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take 
away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (Is. 25:8.) 

g. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (26). So when 
this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall 
have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that 
is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (I Cor. 15:26, 54.)

with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shajl obtain joy

vation. (Is. 12:3.) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus 
stood and cried, saying, If, any man thirst, let him come unto me, and 
drink. (Jno. 7:37.) 

1. And if children, then heirs: heirs of God, and joint-heirs with 
Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified 
together (17). He that spared not his own Son. but delivered him up for 
us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Rom. 
8:17, 32.) 

m. And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Je-

8 But "the fearful, and unbelieving, and the 
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, 
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall 
have their part in the lake which burnetii with 
fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 

9 3 And there came unto me one of the seven 
angels which had the seven vials full of the 
seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, 
Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the 
4 Lamb's wife. 

10 And he carried me away in the spirit to 
a great and high mountain, and shewed me 
that great city, the holy Je-ru'sa-lem, descend- 
ing out of heaven from God, 

11 Having the °glory of God: and her light 
was like unto a stone most precious, even like 
a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 

12 And had a wall great and high, and had 
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, 
and names written thereon, which are the 
names of the twelve tribes of the children of 
Is'ra-el: 

13 On the east three gates; on the north 
three gates; on the south three gates; and on 
the west three gates. 

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foun- 
dations, and Pin them the names of the twelve 
apostles of the Lamb. 

15 And he that talked with me «had a golden 
reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, 
and the wall thereof. 

16 And the city lieth ^foursquare, and the 
length is as large as the breadth : and he meas- 
ured the city with the reed, twelve thousand 
"furlongs. The length and the breadth and the 
height of it are equal. 

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an 
hundred and forty and four cubits, according 
to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 

18 And the building of the wall of it was of 
jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto 
clear glass. 

19 "And the foundations of the wall of the 
city were garnished with all manner of pre- 
cious stones. The first foundation was jasper; 
the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; 
the fourth, an emerald; 

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; 
the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the 
ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the 
eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; 
every several gate was of one pearl: and the

street of the city was pure gold, as it were 
transparent glass. 

22 And s l saw no temple therein: for the 
Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the 
temple of it. 

23 And the f city had no need of the sun, 
neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the 
glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is 
the light thereof. 

24 And "the nations of them which are saved 
shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of 
the earth do bring their glory and honour 
into it. 

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at 
all by day: for "there shall be no night there. 

26 And they shall bring the glory and hon- 
our of the nations into it. 

27 And '"-'there shall in no wise enter into it 
any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever 
worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but 
they which are written in the Lamb's book a of 
life. 

CHAPTER 22. 
1 The river of the water of life. 2 The tree 
of life. 5 The light of the city of God is 
himself. 9 The angel will not be worshipped. 
18 Nothing may be added to the word of 
God, nor taken therefrom. 

1 x And he shewed me a "pure river of water 
of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the 
"throne of God and of the Lamb. 

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on ' 
either side of the river, was there the & tree of 
life, which bare twelve manner 3 of fruits, and 
yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves 
of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 

3 And °there shall be no more curse: but 
the ^throne of God and of the Lamb shall be 
in it; and his servants shall serve him: 

4 And 'they shall see his face; and his name 
shall be in their foreheads. 

5 And there shall be -no night there; and 
they need no candle, neither light of the sun; 
for ''the Lord God giveth them light : and they 
"shall reign for ever and ever. 

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are 
faithful arid true: and the Lord ''God of the 
holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his 
servants the things which must shortly be 
done. 

7 Behold, I come quickly : blessed is he that 
keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this 
book. 



n. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom 
of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adul- 
terers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. (I Cor. 
6:9.) 

o. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and 
from his power; and 110 man was able to enter into the temple, till the 
seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. (Rev. 15:8.) Arise, 
shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon 
thee. (Is. 60:1.) And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from 
the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: 
and the earth shined with his glory. (Ez. 43:2.) 

p. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this 
rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail 
against it. (Mat. 16:18.) And are built upon the foundation of the 
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. 
(Eph. 2:20.) 

q. And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose 
appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his 
hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. (Ez. 40:3.) I 
lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measur- 
ing line in his hand. (Zech. 2:1.) 

r. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted! behold, 
I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with 
sapphires. (Is. 54:11.) 

s. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers 
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh 
such to worship him. (Jno. 4:23.) 

t. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for bright- 
ness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto 
thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. (Is. 60:19:) 

u. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the bright- 
ness of thy rising. (Is. 60:3.) 

v. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon with- 
draw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days 
of thy mourning shall be ended. (Is. 60:20.) 

w. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be 
called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it 
shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err there- 
in. (Is. 35:8.) 



x. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject 
unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in 
heaven. (Lu. 10:20.) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed 
in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of 
life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his 
angels. (Rev. 3:5.) 

Chapter 22. 

a. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city 
of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. (Ps. 46:4.) 
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jeru- 
salem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the 
hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. (Zech. 14:8.) 

b. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree 
that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in 
the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 
(Gen. 2:9.) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto 
the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of 
life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (Rev. 2:7.) 

c. And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter 
destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. (Zech. 14:11.) 

d. It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name 
of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there. (Ez. 48:35.) 

e. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they. shall see God. (Mat. 5:8.) 
Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet appear what 
we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like 
him; for we shall see him as he is. (I Jno. 3:2.) 

f. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see 
light. (Ps. 36:9.) For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will 
give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that 
walk uprightly. (Ps. 84:11.) » 

g. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the king- 
dom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints 
of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all 
dominions shall serve and obey him. (Dan. 7:27.) If we suffer,' we shall 
also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (II Tim. 
2:12.) 

h. God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time 
past unto the fathers by the prophets. (Heb. 1:1.)

8 And I John saw these things, and heard 
them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell 
down to worship before the feet of the angel 
which shewed me these things. 

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not : 
for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy breth- 
ren the prophets, and of them which keep the 
sayings of this book: worship God. 

lft And 'he saith unto me, Seal not the say- 
ings of the prophecy of this book: for the time 
is at hand. 

11 He 'that is unjust, let him be unjust still : 
and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: 
and he that is righteous, let him be righteous 
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

ward Hs with me, to give every man according 
as his work shall be.

whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, 
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 

16 "I Je'sus have sent mine angel to testify 
unto you these things in the churches. I am 
the Proot and the offspring of Da'vid, and Uhe 
bright and morning star. 

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. 
And let him that heareth say, Come. r And let 
him that is athirst come. Andywhosoever will, 
let him take the water of life freely. 

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth 
the words of the prophecy of this book, *If any 
man shall add unto these things, God shall add 
unto him the 4 plagues that are written in this 
book: 

19 And if any man shall take away from 
the words of the book of this prophecy, God 
'shall take away his part out of the book of 
life, and out of the holy city, and from the 
things which are written in this book. 

20 He which testifieth these things saith, 
Surely U I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, 
Lord Je'sus. 

21 The 5 grace of our Lord Je'sus Christ be 
with you all. Amen. 



i. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the wonis, and seal the book, even 
to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall 
be increased. (Dan. 12:4.) 

j. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and 
he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just 
shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. (Hos. 14:9.) 
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and 
being deceived. (II Tim. 3:13.) 

k. Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm 
shall rule for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before 
him. (Is. 40:10.) 

1. Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the 
Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there 
is no God. (Is. 44:6.) ■ 

m. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three 
hundred and five and thirty days. (Dan. 12:12.) 

n. But the fearful, and unbelieviDg, and the abominable, and mur- 
derers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, 
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brim- 
stone: which is the second death. (Rev. 21:8.) Know ye not that the 
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: 
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor 
abusers of themselves with mankind. (I Cor. 6:9.) Now the works of 
the iiesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, unclean- 



But the children of the kingdom shall

0. Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels 
and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (I Pet. 3:22.) 

p. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and 
a Branch shall grow out of his roots. (Is. 11:1.) Behold, the days come, 
saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a 
King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in 
the earth. (Jer. 23:5.) 

q. I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: 
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of 
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children 
of Sheth. (Num. 24:17.) 

r. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that 
hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk 
without money, and without price. (Is. 55:1.) 

s. What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt 
not add thereto, nor diminish from it. (Dt. 12:32.) 

t. And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against 
me, him will I blot out of my book. (Ex. 32:33.) 

u. So Christ was once offered tp bear the sins of many: and unto 
them that look for him shall he appear the second, time without sin
